Procrastination! Yes….I know that this is the biggest hurdle between a huge success and me.
But somehow, I was not able to solve this problem. So, I decided to take help of our own Google for the probable reasons for me.
What I found?
Some very obvious reasons,
1)Fear of failure
2)Fear of unexpected/Unpleasant outcome
3)Not Feeling Good Today
4)Unpleasant task
5)No motivation
6)Feeling Overwhelmed by the task
7)No Goal
It is quite possible that you are going through one of those. But, As far as my problem is concerned…My task was very unpleasant, as well as I was feeling overwhelmed by the task (To get any reasonable success). I had a goal for myself which was related with the task. I know that i am quite able of doing that task very easily, so there is no question as such like, fear of failure.
But yes, sometimes I had this feeling that "today I am not feeling well, so I'll do it tomorrow".
Then What should I do?
Again I asked Google to give me an answer.
What I got is…I had a goal…But not very clear and certainly not clear about how I am going to achieve that goal.
I'll share an example with you.
I had a website, for which I should write content. But the niche of the site was not related with something I know very well. I know that if I do some serious research and come out with valuable content for my readers then It is likely that I will achieve my desired goal.
I need to write around 50 good quality articles on certain keywords. But due to the unpleasant nature of task, as well as the numbers i.e. 50 were a overwhelming number for me.
So then, what I did?
I request you to please give some attention now!
I decided to write down my goal on my whiteboard which was right in front of my table, where I work.
Like "50 Article in 50 Day"
Decided to make a real effort of writing only one article a day. (Only one task at a time)
After writing my goal, I also written the Good emotional outcome which will be areality, when I'll complete that task. Along with the "Bad emotional outcome" if I had not completed the task.
Good Things:
I will have around 5×50=250 good quality backlinks for my website which will result around 50 visits per day after 3-4 months. This will create a passive monthly income of around 100-150 dollars. (This was possible for my niche)
I can easily imagine myself that I'll be able to achieve this goal. My plans were to then create around 10 more such sites which will pay the monthly payment of my car loan, as well as a new dress every month.
Bad things:
I will be feeling very bad that I have again proved myself that I can not achieve something big and substantial in my life. I will not be able to purchase my new car.
This was my way of "Eating my elephant with taking small bites daily".
So, what you should do?…If you are suffering with this problem of procrastination.
1)Admit yourself…That procrastination is the problem for you.
2)Find out what is your reason or reasons to procrastinate.
3)Have a clear long term as well as short term goal.
4)You are the only one who is aware of your emotional state after getting success or failure in achieving your goal. Write those emotional triggers on whiteboard. Reward yourself after getting each success. (Like I rewarded myself with a brand new car).
5)Whenever, your mind ask you to procrastinate…tune yourself to the bad emotional state, you will be in… if you will procrastinate.
6)Have a To do list in front of your work station.
7)Don't even try to overload yourself with other related tasks which have lesser priorities. Focus on your main task.
We all are humans….forgive yourself, if you are procrastinating till now. I feel that finding solution to this major problem will result in grand success in our life. So…Find it Now.

Sacramento – Preceding today's joint legislative informational hearing to address pitfalls within California's Medicaid system (Medi-Cal), Senate Health Committee Chair Ed Hernandez and Assembly Health Committee Chair Rob Bonta joined health care providers, patients and advocates on the steps of the Capitol. Newly introduced, legislation to restore a 10 percent cut to Medi-Cal reimbursement goes a step further than in past efforts by proposing that Medi-Cal payments to providers be on par with what Medicare pays for the same services.
"Expanding access to health care coverage, as we have done under the ACA, is a significant accomplishment but in order to truly be revolutionary that coverage must be accompanied by meaningful access to a provider," said Senator Hernandez. "Unfortunately, millions of Californians in the Medi-Cal program lack that access because we pay providers an embarrassingly low rate. A Medi-Cal card needs to be more than an empty promise."
In 2011, Medi-Cal payment rates to doctors, hospitals, dentists and other providers were cut by 10 percent as a way to balance the state's budget. California now has one of the lowest payment rates in the country. At the same time, the Medi-Cal program now covers more than 12 million patients, one in three Californians, as a result of expanded eligibility under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
"While I was growing up, I watched my dad as he set up health care clinics for farmworkers and other vulnerable communities throughout the state. I witnessed first-hand the importance of protecting and providing services to the most vulnerable members of our community," said Assemblymember Rob Bonta. "I believed then and I believe now that health care should be a right and not a privilege. AB 366 and SB 243 are critical steps toward ensuring that the health care coverage millions have signed up for is meaningful and actually provides real access to quality health care.
"As physicians, we want to provide care to patients and especially to the poorest and most vulnerable among us," said Luther Cobb, M.D., CMA president. "With primary care reimbursement rates as low as they are, many physicians are forced to stop taking new Medi-Cal patients as they simply can't keep their doors open. In areas like rural, northern California where I practice, that can mean patients have longer wait times or have to drive further to get care."
SB 243 and AB 366 would not only repeal prior year rate cuts to Medi-Cal, but would increase payments rates for inpatient hospital services and most outpatient services.
"Medi-Cal reform is the most important health care issue facing California in 2015. Hospital officials appreciate a thoughtful discussion with legislative leaders and the Governor to ensure Californians who today have coverage also have access to medical care," said Sharon A. Spurgeon, Coalinga Regional Medical Center, said. "Governor Jerry Brown has demonstrated extraordinary leadership to help address California's budget challenges, and hospital leaders look forward to working constructively with him to address this significant challenge."
The legislative proposals would also require the Department of Health Care Services to pay Medi-Cal managed care plans at the upper end of their rate range so as to ensure a more robust Medi-Cal provider network.
"Unfortunately, I've learned that health insurance doesn't always equal access to care," said Jessie Perridon, a Sacramento patient. "Many physicians simply can't afford to continue taking new patients in Medi-Cal because of the low rates, which means patients like me either have to go further, wait longer or rely on emergency care for what would otherwise be basic medical treatment."
A 2011 survey funded by the California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF) of over 1,500 Medi-Cal beneficiaries identified difficulties in finding health care providers who accept their coverage, as 34 percent of Medi-Cal beneficiaries said it was difficult to find health care providers who accept their insurance, compared to 13 percent for people with other coverage. The survey found a higher percentage of adults with Medi-Cal say they have more difficulty getting appointments with specialists and primary care providers than adults with other health coverage (42 percent v. 24 percent for specialists and 26 percent v. 15 percent for primary care providers).
"I look forward to the day when our emergency room is just that – a place where people come when they have an emergency, not a place where they come for basic healthcare. That day will come when Medi-Cal is fully funded, and this bill is an important step in that direction," said Michelle Ross registration clerk at Dignity Methodist Hospital in Sacramento.

16 new advocates graduated from CASA's required 40-hour training this week; 16 individuals from all different backgrounds came together to stand up for New Hampshire's most vulnerable children who need a voice. Pictured are some of the 500 courageous, selfless people in our state that are fighting for these children's best interests.
As an advocate, you will attend anything from teacher conferences to court meetings. The training prepares our advocates to preform the tasks being handed to them and allows them the ability to make educated, well rounded recommendations on the child's behalf.
Due to New Hampshire's opioid epidemic, the number of child abuse and neglect cases has increased marginally over the few years. As cases continue to enter the system, we need more CASA volunteer advocates to speak up for victimized children.
Anyone can begin the process of becoming a court appointed special advocate for these children as there is always a need. If you are interested, click here to view 2019's upcoming trainings and apply online. If you still have unanswered questions, we are always offering Community Receptions or Lunch & Learn events that are open to the public and will answer any of your questions or concerns you may have prior to starting the process. Check out our Facebook page to see these events.
Congratulations and welcome to the following advocates, and thank you for your dedication to New Hampshire's children!

Seeing as I now don't have any Uni commitments until mid-September, my aim for the long summer ahead is to dedicate time to my blog (yay!). I've been spending some time thinking about ideas for future blog posts, but I've had it in my head for a while that it would be fun to take part in a monthly blogging challenge, which coincidentally one of my much-loved bloggers has just introduced!
'Sprinkle of Glitter' http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/ is one my favourite blogs, and was one of the first that I started to read a couple of years ago when my interest for blogging really kicked off. So when I saw that Louise was encouraging other bloggers to take part in the '30 Day Snap' challenge with her, I thought it would be a great idea.
(Image from http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/)
The idea of the challenge is to take one photo everyday throughout the month of June and upload it to your blog as a fun way of documenting what you get up to. Anyone is welcome to take part and can even upload it to other sites such as Facebook and Instagram if you don't have your own blog.
http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/the-30-day-snap.html Here is the link to Louise's original post if you want to read more about her idea. I also recommend you check out her blog if you haven't already, I guarantee you will love it!!
That's all from me for now, but if you do decide to take part from 1st June then happy snapping!

That embroidered quilt is fabulous! What a piece of art. Love the year and the initials too.ReplyDelete
Oh how I love Redwork! Your quilt is such a great find. That must have taken a long time to finish. I was lucky to inherit some Redwork pillow shams from my hubbys family. They say Good Morn and Good Night. :) Have a great weekend Liz! KitReplyDelete
I've done quite a few embroideries and recognise a lot of the ones you have on the quilt but I have never seen a zebra before. Wonderful!ReplyDelete
Ahhh, so charming. The zebra, the kitties, the acorns, ugh, how to pick a favorite. Interesting that Redwork quilts are only lightly quilted. What do you make of that?
Happy Valentine's Day Lizzy! Thanks for sharing. Love the snow pic, hope you're keeping warm.
I don t think I ve ever read a reason for the often meager quilting on redwork. They were done at time that ladies did less dense quiltwork, and I think they were showing off their embroidery skills, not their quilting? Many are summer quilts, I think all mine are anyway..no batting or thin flannel only. [I have 3 or 4 complete redwork quilts, 2 tops, and a set of 100 squares. I think].Delete
It's very cool that there's a date and initials on your quilt, most quilters of that era didn't seem to do that. I recognize a few of the figures as some my mom had embroidered on dish towels and pillowcases (only in more colors - my mom liked colorful things). Makes me wonder if the pieces were done for the quilt, or if they were cut and saved from other things. It's beautiful either way! Thanks for sharing, and have a great Valentine's Day!ReplyDelete
No, the muslin squares were intended to be quilt blocks, they were marketed as Penny Squares, and were a big fad between about 1885 and 1930. Popular motifs were also printed on things like sidhtowels and pillow cases, especially later, in the 1930s. And tranfers of the designs are still sold today sometimes ["Aunt Martha's"] I have a set of embroidered squares in my collection, never sewed into a quilt, 100 blocks I think. Even Queen Victoria. I ll dig them out for a photo.Delete
Beautiful sweet red work - what a treasure. How we all wish our predecessors had labeled their quilts! But you have the date and initials which is nice.ReplyDelete
Aww man, I left a comment last night and it's gone missing :(
Anyhoo, I think the quilt is so charming. I, of course, love the kitties, but also the acorns, and the cow jumping over the moon. Well they're all pretty cute. Thanks for pulling it out to show us. A very nice Valentine treat!
Is Mo your Valentine?
Love the snow-ing pic. How's it going in your neck of the woods? Just started snowing in MD a little while ago I heard. Well, just remember that awesome December you had :)
Hi Kel! I retrieved your previous comment, no clue why Blogger erased it. Thx for letting me know.
Of course Mo is my sweetheart! But my kids gave me gorgeous roses too! And a girlfriend brought red tulips, I was well Valentined.
We re expecting snow tomorrow by noon, sigh. And it was ZERO last night, brrr. Good thing I like winter?
I was thinking the same thing. How wonderful it would be to know who made it. What stories it could tell. What history there is in all those stitches. Truly an amazing piece. Happy new week! TammyReplyDelete
What a lovely quilt! So sweet. Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful to know who created this treasure? So much history.
Love ya, Sue
In my stash of quilt/embroidery squares from my grandfather's store, some of those designs exist (from his store in the 50s or 60s).
I never thought of an I SPY quilt ... thanks for sharing!

Chapter Ninety-Eight
Garry Hardy invited Stephanie Richards over to secluded wooden bench just in front of a large oak tree. The demonstration had pretty much fizzled out by this time. The prospective hunters appear to have heard the sheriff's zero tolerance message loud and clear. There wouldn't be any danger done to Ogopogo on Sheriff George Anderson's watch.
As they watched the last group of people get into their vehicles and leave the town commons, Garry and Stephanie started up a conversation. Stephanie was the first to ask a question.
"So, where are you from Garry?
"Originally I'm from Winnipeg. I was coming to Kelowna to visit my aunt and uncle, but my plans kind of fell through," Garry answered.
"How did your plans fall through?" Stephanie asked.
"It's kind of complicated," Garry said.
"I don't know if I should get into that with you. If I tell you the truth it could make you afraid of me or at least you'll think I'm pretty weird and that you probably shouldn't be hanging out with me."
"What are you trying to tell me? That you killed or injured someone or that you just got out of jail?" asked Stephanie.
"It's not that bad." Garry replied.
Stephanie turned around and looked Garry straight in the eye. "Look Garry Hardy. I'm a very strong person and I've also had some issues in my life. You can trust me. I'm very good at keeping confidences,"
As Garry began to talk, Stephanie gently put her left hand on Garry's arm.
"This is not going to be easy for me to tell you, Steph. Do you mind if I call you Steph?" asked Garry.
Stephanie laughed. "All of my family and all my friends call me Steph, so I don't see why you shouldn't. Besides I have the feeling that we are going to be very good friends. I feel very comfortable being with you already."
"Okay. Here goes." Garry's voice was already starting to crack. I have schizophrenia and at times it gets me into a lot of trouble. That's why I didn't get to visit my aunt and uncle. Do you know what a psychotic break is?"
"Yes, only too well. I had one myself a little over a year ago," Stephanie replied.
"You're kidding! What happened?" Garry asked.
"I haven't been diagnosed with schizophrenia like you. I have a different diagnosis. I have depression with psychotic features. This means that I occasionally have episodes of depression that are so severe that I lose touch with reality."
"Wow! I think we are going to become very good friends," Garry said.
"So. Tell me your story. What happened to derail your plans for visiting your aunt and uncle?" Stephanie asked.
"It all started in Winnipeg when I stopped taking my medications. I have always hated my medications and their side effects. The problem is, when I go off them for a few days, bad things happen. I see things that no one else sees, I hear sounds that nobody else does. I even smell things that no one else smells. When I go off my meds some people start looking to me like reptilian creatures including my parents. Only my father is still alive but when my mother was alive she, too, would look reptilian to me from time to time. I came to believe that my parents had the ability to change at will between their human and reptilian forms."
"I have read quite a few books on schizophrenia and I remember reading that when a person has hallucinations and delusions they seem so real that they wonder why no one else can see them. They also can't understand why no one else believes what they tell them," Stephanie said.
"Exactly. That is absolutely true," Garry said. "This is what all went down. I was staying at a psychiatric treatment facility in Winnipeg. I decided that it was time I got off my meds because I had no energy and no real motivation to even take a shower. So I started cheeking my meds for a few days.
My next move was to go AWOL. I had just received that month's welfare cheque and I decided that I would take a Greyhound bus to Kelowna to visit my aunt and uncle. For some reason I thought that they would believe my story about my father being reptilian. When I got on the bus I started to see many of the passengers turn into their reptilian forms. I panicked and went up to the bus driver to let him know about the other passengers. The next thing I recalled was taking a severe beating by a big, burly man. I don't remember too much after that until I found out I was in the Kelowna Mental Health Center.
"Wow! That was quite the ordeal. The next thing I want to know is if you are back on your meds now," Stephanie said.
"Oh yes. I am. I'm feeling very stable right now. I think my new psychiatrist has me on the right meds and the correct dosage."
"So why did you go AWOL from this treatment center?" Stephanie asked.
"Oh, I'm not AWOL. I got an extended pass to be out for two weeks. My rehabilitation counsellor phones me every two days to make sure that I'm alright. So far, so good."
"You were telling me about a man named Winston and an expedition that you had joined," Stephanie said.
"Winston Stanfield is my friend Wally's grandfather. I met Wally at the mental health center and I got very interested in his stories about his grandfather. When Wally got permission for a weekend pass to visit his grandfather I asked if I could come along. Wally thought it was a great idea and I also got permission to go. Winston has been taking us out on his cabin cruiser to search for Ogopogo. I'll tell you what. If you're not busy now we can walk over to Winston's place right now," Garry said.

The Quickest Sesame Salmon on the Planet
- Details
- Hits: 186
Start with a cold, non-stick pan for this recipe to allow the fat from the fish to render and make the skin crispy. This really goes well with Citrus and Carrot Slaw. Barb L.
Serves: 4
4 (6 oz) center-cut skin-on salmon fillets, 1 ¼" thick
Salt and pepper
2 tsp Flying Olive Toasted Sesame Oil
3-4 Tbsp sesame seeds (white or black)
1 lemon cut into 4 wedges
Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the Flying Olive Toasted Sesame Oil to the cold pan. Dip a brush into the Sesame Oil and "paint" the fish on the 3 flesh sides. Sprinkle the sides and top of each fillet evenly with about 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds, pressing the seeds into the fish to help them stick. Arrange the salmon, skin side down, in a 12" cold non-stick skillet.
Place the skillet over medium-high heat and cook until the fat from the skin renders and the skin becomes crispy, about 7-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish.
Flip the salmon over and continue to cook until the centers are still translucent when checked with the tip of a paring knife and register 125 degrees with an instant read thermometer, about 7 minutes longer.
Serve with a lemon wedge to squeeze over the fish.

Randy Dickhut, AFM, Senior Vice President, Real Estate Operations at Farmers National Company reports with all of the uncertainties of 2019, the land market had been slow, however, now heading into the fall it is waking up.
He shares examples from four area sales managers at Farmers National:
Sam Kain, Iowa: He's expecting a busy fall season for Farmers National Company as many Iowa land auctions are already scheduled and more are in the works for post-harvest. He also reports that land prices are holding mostly stable for good quality Iowa land with some recent Farmers National Company auctions stronger than expected. It's worth also noting Kain is seeing some larger acreage tracts than normal coming up for sale.
Paul Schadegg, central and southern plains: While this area is mainly driven by livestock profitability or investor demand, Schadegg reports that this region saw good land sale activity throughout early summer with a number of strong auctions held by Farmers National Company.
Brian Mohr, northern plains and cornbelt region: He notes three developments: more auctions scheduled before harvest season starts, more landowners making inquiries about potential sales, and an increase in the size of acreage being sold.
Roger Hayworth, eastern cornbelt: Due to the delayed planting season, Hayworth says that this area of the grain belt is probably still experiencing the slowest land market. He says there are many question marks concerning final crop production come fall harvest time. With those two factors, he thinks there's a long tail influencing a slower land market.

Thousands of Arizona and Colorado teachers are holding a walkout on Thursday, following weeks of teacher strikes across the country.
Arizona teachers will wear red and head to the Capitol to demand more education funding. Colorado teachers will also attend a rally at their Capitol for more education funding, better pay, and more security for retiring educators.
Here's what's currently happening in the two states:
Thousands of Arizona teachers will march through Phoenix to the state Capitol building. Teachers will begin their march from Chase Field to the Capitol at 11 a.m. local time, according to the Arizona Educators United Rally Facebook page. At 1:30 p.m., teachers will hold a rally at the Capitol to make their demands to lawmakers.
Joe Thomas, president of the Arizona Education Association, didn't give an estimate on how long the walkout would last, according to AZfamily.com. An Arizona Republic analysis found that more than 840,000 public school students will be affected by the walkout on Thursday.
I'm at Fowler Elementary School where the bell has rung on walkout day and few kids have shown up, according to district admin. pic.twitter.com/ZhU7FjwB3n
— Lily Altavena (@lilyalta) April 26, 2018
Thomas told Capitol Media Services, "If they're courageous, if they have the political capital to come down and speak with us, we all get a win, the students get a win, the educators get to go back to their classrooms and we get to move on and finish out the year strongly. But the ball's in the governor's court and it has been over a month."
Gov. Doug Ducey (R) announced a proposal earlier this month to raise teacher pay by 20 percent by 2020. But teachers said the governor hasn't done enough to address cuts to education funding. The state's education funding fell by 36.6 percent between 2008 and 2015. Striking teachers said they want a 20 percent raise as well as no new tax cuts until per pupil funding reaches the national average. They also want competitive pay for educational support staff and restoration of education funding to 2008 levels.

Local lawmakers have made disparaging remarks about the strikes. Last week, Ducey told the Phoenix radio station, KFYI-FM, "I don't know why the leaders would say that they're going to strike when we are delivering for the teachers on what we believe they deserve."
LOOK: A stunning image of just how many teachers are marching to the Arizona State Capitol. #RedForEd pic.twitter.com/1KygktI99N

Mesa Public Schools Superintendent Michael Cowan sent an email to teachers on Monday telling them that "a walkout could mean a loss of public support," according to The Arizona Republic. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas told teachers not to walk out. Douglas said, "If parents or citizens file a complaint with the Department, we have an investigations unit. And I've assured the Board this morning, we will investigate anything that comes."
Last week, the Arizona Education Association told members about a 1971 opinion by Arizona Attorney General Gary Nelson, in which he said strikes by public employees are forbidden.
The thousands of teachers participating in walkouts in Colorado are using their personal days to do so, leading four school districts to close on Thursday. Educators from Pueblo School District voted to go on strike last week, but cannot take action until after Colorado's education and labor agency decides by May 4 whether to try to broker a resolution with teachers. The state's last teacher strike was in 1994.
Teachers marched to the state Capitol building, with stacks of materials to grade, showing legislators the amount of work they often must do outside of school hours.

Colorado currently falls drastically short of funding its schools, by about $822 million annually, according to The Denver Post. Schools have grappled with this shortage in a variety of ways over the years, from holding four-day weeks, cutting teacher and other educational staff jobs, lowering salaries, and increasing various student fees.
But these solutions are not sustainable, teachers argue. And, as the Post reported, the $150 million that the Colorado legislature has set aside is not enough to make up for the lack of funding.
According to a 2018 report by the National Education Association, Colorado ranks 31st in the country when it comes to average teacher salaries, falling about $8,000 short of the national average. Teachers spend an average of about $656 a year in out-of-pocket costs for school supplies.

A petition by the Colorado Education Association, which has garnered more than 1,400 signatures, has two key demands:
- A commitment to restore and increase education funding, and freeze corporate tax cuts until that funding is restored, or until per-pupil funding reaches the national average. (Currently, Colorado ranks 42nd in the United States with respect to funds spent per student, well below the national average by about $2,500)
- Fix the bill SB 18-200, which aims to stabilize Colorado's public pension fund, but which teachers say would worsen the state's pension crisis and "exacerbate the educator shortage."
Friday's walkout is expected to be much larger, with several more school districts expected to close.
This piece will be updated as the walkouts continue.

We are proud to stock them here at Vibrators.com, where we carry only the best in sex toys and romantic gifts.

Here at Vibrators.com, we test each and every vibrator for vibration and sound levels. Our Vibrator Institute doesn't test vibrators the way you might think; instead, we use scientific equipment that reads vibration and decibel levels. Based on these levels, each vibrator we sell gets a rating. The Power Level ratings are Gentle, Pleasurable, Intense and Unrelenting. The Sound Level ratings are Whisper, Purr, Hum, Buzz and Thundering. The Greedy Girl Dual Motor Vibrator has a rating of Unrelenting Buzz. This means it vibrates at the highest speeds, and has a somewhat loud sound level.
If we don't like the look, feel, sound or vibration level of a sex toy, we don't sell it. That's why Vibrators.com only sells about 300 vibrators. There are tens of thousands of vibrators on the market, and that's a lot for a customer to wade through. We offer only the best vibrators, so you can choose the best vibrator for you in the easiest way possible.

An attorney who in specializes in self-defense told me that of the 300 clients who said something to the police before talking to him, only two managed to NOT hurt their case. Those two didn't help their case, they just didn't hurt it any. If you are involved in a shooting, call the police, physically cooperate with them, but don't say anything except you want to call your attorney. –Greg Hamilton
I didn't write up the last two classes, because I was feeling frustrated and unable to focus on the constructive bits.
Today, all spars in Bellevue.
I keep wanting to call Justin "Jason" for some reason. So he started calling me "Tiffany" and it went rapidly downhill from there. Now I'm calling him anything with a J (Jerome, Jaylen, Jessie, Jordan) and he's calling me prissy girly names (Brittany, Charity).
Standing guard pass, #1: You standing, holding opponent's pants at the insides of the knees as s/he has one foot on your bicep and the other foot on your hip. Step to the "hip" side and thrust opponent's knee to the floor. Scoot quickly back to the opposite side, while pressing the second leg down on top of the first. Drop to your knees behind hir butt (NOT further up, behind hir back) while blocking behind hir knees with your arm.
#2: Opponent has spider guard, you have the same grips as above. Press the knee to the mat on the side that they have the bent leg. Use your OPPOSITE foot (not the one on the same side, as I tried to do first and quickly found that that is completely unbalanced) to push that leg down. Do a lawnmower-starting motion with your arm on that side to shuck the sleeve grip. Now continue the pass as before. (I was a bit bummed that Christy was in class tonight- she does this pass to me all the time, and she makes it hurt…. she really does not need more practice on this rather painful technique!)
As the prof was explaining the technique, we were all suddenly very distracted by the sounds of a woman orgasming loudly from the next mat.
This was disquieting, as there was a Monkey Bar Gym class going on in there, and as far as I know they did not have an orgy planned for tonight's class (altough perhaps they would get more membership signups if they did).
When I was going to the Gold Creek gym, there were occasionally men in the weight room who grunted like rutting water buffaloes while they lifted weights. I hate that. It is a sad attention-seeking tactic.
This was the first time I had heard a woman doing it, and it made me embarrassed to be female. She wasn't even grunting- she was moaning and gasping. It truly sounded like nothing other than noisy intercourse, and it was embarrassing to be listening to while surrounded by a class full of men.
I told Carlos that I was unhappy… that that was distracting and inappropriate… hopefully he will talk to Greg, who will talk to the culprit- if it continues to happen, I will talk to Greg myself. I do not want to hear someone orgasming loudly in the background while I'm trying to focus on guard pass details.
One spar with Chrisanne and one with Christy.

Paris 74
The first race in 74 for the rotaries was the 6 hrs of Paris. The Mercury ban was still in place for the rotaries, but on threat of pulling all OMC engines from the race, the race officials allowed them to run exhibition only. 4 engines started the race and easily dominated, leading by as much as 15 minutes. One boat barreled rolled in a corner, one boat hit the turn buoy (concrete) and took the side off the boat, one succumbed to engine failure and the forth was leading by 30 minutes with 15 minutes left in the race when the engine failed. Upon inspection after the race it was found someone had sabotaged the engine by loosing all 8-carburetor nuts. With the carbs not tight to the intake manifold, severe air leaks cause a very lean mixture resulting in rotor bearing failure. That it lasted as long as it did was amazing.
This was the race Caesar Scotti was killed; or more correctly, let die by the French police. Scotti had hooked a sponson, which threw him into the concrete wall of the river. He was thrown thru the front of the boat and up against the retaining fence. A US doctor tried to help him, but French police would not let him touch Scotti. It took 45 minutes for the French to cut down the retaining fence and get him to the hospital. He bled to death internally before he got there. Because of Scottis death, the rest of the European circuit was canceled and everyone was sent home.
This was the only race for 74.
Development continued trying 100% alcohol and nitrous oxide assist. The nitrous gave a 30% power increase with the push of a button. The alcohol did not do much for power so it was abandoned. Engines were consistently producing in excess of 280 prop shaft HP at 8000 RPM. Without the nitrous.

Big Pharma:
Berned/ Not Berned/ TOASTY!
Bernie Sanders has made plenty of enemies among the "elite", and now he's set his sights on Big Pharma.
Martin Shkreli is the head of Turing Pharmaceuticals, a company that was behind a 5000% (you read that right) price increase on a drug used by AIDS and cancer patients (seriously, now that the TPP/ TTIP is coming, expect a 5000% price increase to be the baseline).
Daraprim is a 62-year-old drug which is no longer under patent protection; upon acquiring it Turing raised the price from modest 13.50 to a jaw-dropping 750 dollars.
On September 28th, Shkreli stated that he would be donating 2700 dollars to Bernie's campaign. This was the maximum individual contribution possible. He tweeted:
I appreciate @BernieSanders using my contribution as a continuation of my philanthropy.
Bernie has often stated that he would not accept this sort of contribution; his campaign is mostly supported by small-dollar donations.
At first it seemed like Bernie would keep the cash for himself; Shkreli claimed to have received a letter thanking him for the donation.
"Our political system is corrupt. Big Money controls much of what happens. Together, you and I are changing that. Thank you again for your support. Best, Bernie," the letter goes, the sort of automatic-copy-paste-thank-you letter you'd expect from buying a loaf of bread online.
By the 15th of October, however, things started to turn ugly; Bernie's campaign spokesman said that he would NOT be keeping the donation; rather, the full sum would be re-donated to Whitman-Walker health clinic in Washington, DC. Ouch, I could feel the Bern from here.
After waking up one morning and realizing that he had mysteriously suffered a major 3rd-degree BERN:
Instead of having an intelligent discussion on healthcare @BernieSanders would rather hold his hands over his ears and be a demagogue…
Yeah… standing up for people who need to pay 750 bucks for a pill is being a "demagogue". Hey, it's ABOUT TIME someone tried to appeal to the "popular sentiment"; appealing to YOUR brand of "rationality" has only made YOU richer and us poorer!
Then he apparently wanted to ask a Bernie and Hillary a "question" (how much do I need to pay you? What's that Hillary, just a dollar?):
Dear @BernieSanders & @HillaryClinton, I have an important question for you. Get back to me whenever, Martin Shkreli.
He then said, after he tried to schedule a meeting with Bernie, "I think it's cheap to use one person's action as a platform without kind of talking to that person…He'll take my money, but he won't engage with me for five minutes to understand this issue better."
What, you expected this politician, like all the others you've turned, to accept your bribe AND THEN offer you something in return? What does a 5 minute private meeting change, unless you intend to offer a bigger carrot or a bigger stick.
Shkreli continues:
"Right now the rule of law in the United States is that drug companies can price their products wherever they see fit, not wherever he sees fit," Shkreli said. "If the rule changes by congressional vote, then you know, I'll adapt to the rules."
Translation: "Yup. As long as I get to keep lawfully screwing people, I'm gonna. Who cares how many people die? Besides, good luck changing things, Congress is already in my pocket."
Mainstream translation" aw, I care so much about you guys that I'm gonna hike prices just to show congress that they should legislate these things… and if they don't, well I tried. Please, don't die on my Persian rug"
Bernie has slammed the greed of the Big pharma, and is calling for the import of cheaper drugs from Canada.
He Tweeted:
Martin Shkreli is holding hostage the patients who rely on this lifesaving medication by charging unconscionable prices just because he can.
The greed of the pharmaceutical industry is a public health hazard to the American people.

The "something new" was really easy to check off the list, as was the "something blue" (my shoes!) I wish I could say I had some very sweet and sentimental things to meet the old and borrowed requirements, but the rather lame truth is I was satisfied with claiming my engagement ring as my something old (yeah, I'd had it for a whole year and a half.) And the borrowed bit? Well, that I never figured out, although we ended up borrowing extension cords from our neighbor at the last minute...
From The Coin Jeweler (different pair than I gave to E, but the same Etsy shop)
I did plan ahead to incorporate a sixpence into our day, but, instead of wearing one in my shoe, part of my gift to E was a pair of sixpence cufflinks. Since E loves cufflinks, I figured the groom could take part in act of bringing good luck upon the union with his attire.
I do wish I'd put more thought into the old and borrowed part, but I loved my pieces for the other three. Those of you who are married, tell me, did you do anything slightly unconventional to meet any wedding day traditions?

This Week's Finest: JLA/Doom Patrol Special #1
by Gerard Way, Steve Orlando, ACO, Tamra Bonvillain, Marissa Louise, Hugo Petres, Magdalene Visaggio & Sonny Liew
In JLA/Doom Patrol Special #1, the Young Animal/DC Milk Wars crossover event, Larry Trainor founded DC Comics in a parallel life while fighting the Justice League as Negative Man. This is not the strangest thing to happen in JLA/Doom Patrol by a wide margin. In the issue, Gerard Way, Steve Orlando, ACO, Tamra Bonvillain & Marissa Louise create a delightfully dense and endearing love letter to DC Comics, it's inherent weirdness, and the profound influence writer Grant Morrison has on the medium.

The Haul: March 2017
Looking back on last month's article, I came to the realization that I tend to add more books to a list than I'm actually able to read and, in may cases, afford. There are only so many hours left at the end of the day to tackle my pull list, and, while they are a passion, comic books are not my only hobby. On top of that, I've been reading a lot more "older" stuff lately. This list will be more realistic, conservative towards what I think I'll actually read. If I get to more, great! I'd love to read every good book out there.

New research from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) attempts to clarify which men may save their life as a result of the PSA screening test. These findings are published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
"Previous research about the ability of the PSA screening test to save lives failed to separate men based on their coexisting health conditions, or comorbidities. In this analysis, we find that the selective use of PSA screening in men who are in good health confers significant benefit by being associated with a 44 percent reduction in the risk for dying from prostate cancer," said Anthony V. D'Amico, MD, PhD, senior author of the paper and professor and chief of genitourinary radiation oncology at BWH.
While treatments for prostate cancer, such as radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy and hormone therapy are often curative, the additional number of men who need to be treated (NNT) using PSA screening test to eliminate 1 death has been estimated at 48 over a period of 9 years and 12 over 14 years from the European and Swedish randomized PSA screening studies respectively. This risk for overtreatment has led many organizations to make recommendations against the use of the PSA screening test in the general population. In this new analysis, researchers find that by selectively screening younger and relatively healthy men using the PSA test, the NNT appears to be reduced to only 5 men at 10 years.
Researchers observed however that this reduction in risk for prostate cancer death was not observed in men with more significant comorbidities providing the basis for a more prudent use of PSA testing in a select group of men that can be identified based on age and co-exisitng medical conditions. In this reanalysis of the PLCO US based prostate cancer screening study this cohort constituted 36% of all study participants.
"With the uncertainty about the possible benefit of PSA testing in the general population and concerns regarding both over diagnosis and overtreatment, we hope that these findings will raise awareness about the potential for benefit that exists when using the PSA screening test for men who are in good health," D'Amico said.

Emersyn | Month 11
Okay, before this month is over, I should probably post her 11 month pictures. I mean, she'll literally be 1 in like two weeks lol But oh well, for records sake, I still want share this past month and everything she's learned.
This month was big just because she has learned so much. I swear she turned into a toddler over night. She's still my little petite baby and has those same chubby cheeks I adore, but everything else about her has matured so much.
For example, she's so freakin active. And such a little date devil! She just learned how to walk and now she's practically running in my house, when she's not trying to climb into and on EVERYTHING. Watching her hike her little legs up onto things is the cutest yet most annoying thing ever lol
Update on her obsession with the fridge: She's figured out how to get her own snacks. No need for me anymore, I guess.
She's already getting special attention from the fellas too. A guy randomly gave her a bracelet at the mall recently. I'm not sure if he was trying to flirt with me or her, but we'll take free jewelry any day.
And if you haven't noticed yet, we FINALLY HAVE HAIR! She had some when she was born, then it thinned out for a while. Now it's finally growing back and long enough to put a little rubber band in it. I'm obsessed. Still amazed that it's not thicker than what it is though. I thought for sure between me & Jerrell she'd have a head full by now. I'm not complaining tho.
She loves being outside. We're most likely going to have her 1st party at the park because that will make her day. The funny thing is, she could care less about the swings and the slides and all that, she just wants to run around. Maybe we should have her party at the track lol idk.
She's learning how to respond/talk on cue, like waving bye-bye, or saying "Wow" "Oh!" even her version of "Thank you." I love hearing all her little noises all day. She's a champ at repeating/mimicking still. She'll growl back at you, stick her tongue out, and repeat any high-pitch noises she hears like someone screaming or the door squeaking. She just started dancing too, which is my fave.
In addition to hair... she now has FOUR teeth. Why am I so excited about my child growing teeth? #MomLife
This was also the first month she had a part from Daddy. Jerrell has an annual training where he's out of state for 3 weeks. I'm so thankful he's been able to be with us during all the important milestones. Some military families are not that lucky. I have a lot of respect for milsos who raise their families solo while their spouse is away. I'm also thankful to still live nearby our family, especially my mom, who is footsteps away. It would've been a lot harder without her!
Well, I guess I'll be back here with another blog in a few days haha Let's be real. Probably not. She turns 1 on the 13th and I probably won't post about it until weeks later, because, #Life.
But i'll end here for now with a few more of my fave pics from this month <3

Pembrokeshire College equine lecturer, Mike Butcher, was amongst those recognised at the British Horse Society annual awards ceremony held in Saddlers' Hall, London on Friday 24th November.
Having taught for over 21 years, Mike was awarded the Helen Barton-Smith Silver Stirrup Award for meritorious work in support of young riders.
A BHS Accredited Professional Coach, a British Showjumping Level 3 UKCC Coach and the lead coach for Area 36, Mike is well respected in his field and in 2016 Mike was awarded the UK FE Lecturer of the Year Award and featured in the BBC documentary 'Britain's Classroom Heroes'.
BHS President, Martin Clunes presented the awards and commented: "It's always nice to meet the people who do so much for the British Horse Society; one of the best things about being the President is being able to meet these remarkable people that dedicate so much of their time."
Mike's sympathetic and unique coaching skills create an exceptional connection with youngsters both abled bodied and those who have disabilities. With Mike's support young people across Pembrokeshire have achieved industry recognised qualifications that many of the learners and their families would have believed to be beyond their grasp. Throughout his teaching career Mike's commitment to both his learners and his profession has been unparalleled.
Following the awards ceremony Michael added: "It is a great honour to have been selected to receive this award. I am incredibly fortunate to be able to do a job that I love on a daily basis whilst at the same time enhancing people's lives.
"I have coached both disabled and able bodied riders for over 25 years and I always commit myself 100% as if each rider may be our next Paralympic or Olympian, representing Team GB in future Olympic games."

Doctor Who actress Elisabeth Sladen dies
Doctor Who actress Elisabeth Sladen, who also starred in the spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures, has died.
Sladen joined the BBC television series in 1973 as Doctor Who's assistant Sarah Jane Smith.
In more recent times the Liverpool-born actress went on to appear in four series of The Sarah Jane Adventures on children's channel CBBC.
Further news indicates she passed away due to cancer, she was 63.
BBC Statement:
It is with much sadness that we can announce Elisabeth Sladen, the much-loved actress best known for her role as Sarah Jane Smith in Doctor Who and CBBC's The Sarah Jane Adventures, passed away this morning. She was 63.
Lis first appeared as Sarah Jane in Doctor Who in 1973 alongside the Third Doctor Jon Pertwee and stayed for three and half seasons working alongside Jon and the Fourth Doctor Tom Baker. She returned to the role on numerous occasions over the years and, in 2007, was given her own spin-off series on CBBC - The Sarah Jane Adventures - where she would appear alongside new Doctors David Tennant and Matt Smith.
The Sarah Jane Adventures brought Lis a whole new generation of fans who grew up to love her alien-busting adventures. The series was hugely popular with fans young and old and won this year's RTS Award for best children's drama.
Controller of CBBC Damian Kavanagh said tonight: "I'm deeply saddened and shocked by the news of Lis' untimely death. Lis brought joy, excitement and a sense of wonder to her many fans in her role as Sarah Jane Smith. She was adored by our young audience and I know all of them will miss her as much as I will."
The creator of The Sarah Jane Adventures Russell T Davies said: "I absolutely loved Lis. She was funny and cheeky and clever and just simply wonderful. The universe was lucky to have Sarah Jane Smith; the world was lucky to have Lis."
Steven Moffat, Doctor Who's Lead Writer and Executive Producer said: "'Never meet your heroes' wise people say. They weren't thinking of Lis Sladen.
"Sarah Jane Smith was everybody's hero when I was younger, and as brave and funny and brilliant as people only ever are in stories. But many years later, when I met the real Sarah-Jane - Lis Sladen herself - she was exactly as any child ever have wanted her to be. Kind and gentle and clever; and a ferociously talented actress, of course, but in that perfectly English unassuming way.
"There are a blessed few who can carry a whole television show on their talent and charisma - but I can't think of one other who's done it quite so politely. I once showed my son Joshua an old episode of Doctor Who, in which Lis appeared. "But that's Sarah Jane," he said, confused "In old Doctor Who. From years ago. How come she always look exactly the same?" It's not a comfort today, of course, but children will still be saying that fifty years from now."
Keith Jones, Director, BBC Cymru Wales, said: "The Sarah Jane Adventures has been one of the most successful children's programmes on television in recent years - and without Elisabeth Sladen it would not have happened. A brilliant presence on screen and on set, she brought the excitement and energy of the Doctor Who family of programmes, of which we are very proud at BBC Wales, to a whole new generation. She will be missed by all at BBC Wales who worked with her."
Roger Carey, who represented Lis for many years, said. "She was not just a client, but a dear friend. She was so positive about life and her natural energy was intoxicating. She couldn't believe her luck when her career was resurrected in her own series."
Lis had been suffering from cancer. She leaves behind a husband, actor Brian Miller, and her daughter, Sadie.

Are Bachelorette and Bachelor Parties Keeping Millennials From Buying Homes?
A new report says that attending these events can cost you.
Move over avocado toast, there's another thing millennials love that may be stopping them from buying a house. While one millionaire recently said that millennials should stop buying avocado toast if they want to buy a house, a brand new report from real estate site Zillow finds that attending bachelor or bachelorette parties might prevent them from becoming future homeowners, too.
It's no secret that pre-wedding parties have become a big to-do, with many brides- or grooms-to-be opting for a destination party with their closest friends. The experts at Zillow say that this can really put a dent in any type of home savings fund. If you attend nine of these parties, you can end up spending up to $13,788, which is about 35 percent of a down payment on a median-price home. This was calculated with help from wedding website The Knot, which estimates that a bachelor party costs attendees $1,532 on average, while a bachelorette costs $1,106.
"Buying a home is one of the most expensive purchases someone will ever make, and for most first-time buyers that means years of saving money to afford a down payment," says Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow chief marketing officer. "Attending your friends' bachelor or bachelorette parties can be a trip of a lifetime. While everyone's budget and priorities are different, big ticket expenses like vacations can add up surprisingly quickly—a lot faster than a $19 avocado toast."
RELATED: This Is the Most Popular Wedding Gift of 2017
Of course, it all depends on where you plan on buying a house, as home values differ throughout the country. Those who are looking to buy in Cleveland or Pittsburgh can spend about half of their down payment on nine bachelor or bachelorette parties. But in some cities with expensive and competitive housing markets, like San Jose or San Francisco, partygoers would spend about five or six percent of the down payment on a home in those cities.
And it doesn't stop there for friends of the bride or groom. Zillow reports that bridesmaids and groomsmen can spend an additional $1,154 on wedding day needs like clothing, gifts, and travel and accommodations. Wedding guests in general spend about $888 on average to attend.

unlike most our Spirituality is part of what we are as all Vampyres should be
I was going to write about the drama going on in the GVC, again–but, after reading the intro to Julia DarkRose's upcoming book and a very thought-provoking post by Seth Ananda….I felt inspired to focus on more spiritual topics.
The concept of The Vampire is not necessarily linked with that of any form of spirituality. There are those popular, media and mythology associations which depict the vampire simply as a feeder–of blood and/or energy. If there are any paranormal qualities expressed by the vampire, they are inherent and inborn, as soon as the vampire is turned. In urban legend and stories, the Vampire is a metaphysical creature and has no need to exercise, develop or gain its abilities.
In The GVC, some of us might hold the above perception to a more reasonable degree. Whether or not the vampire is a naturally metaphysical being, we hold an entire spectrum of…

A loop of anxious and depressing thoughts
Sometimes I am caught in a loop of what-ifs and whys. A cocktail of worries, doubts, and fear that seem to overwhelm me. And the intensity of these feelings is uncomfortable, to say the least. And I just want to escape into my corner and numb myself to the world around me.
These are bad days.
And then I pick myself up, do something I like – take a walk, clean my home, brew a cup of tea, or doodle something – and slowly the cloud of thoughts lifts.
Over time, I've learned to stop beating myself up for going through these bouts.
Five Ways to Overcome Anxious and Depressive Thoughts
Take a few deep and slow breaths. You can breathe through anything. And, then try Debbie Hampton's grounding technique which is very much rooted in Buddhist meditation techniques.
Acknowledge five things you see around you in your immediate surroundings. Maybe it's a book, a pen, or a spot on the wall.
Acknowledge four things you can feel. This could be your bottom sitting on the chair, your feet resting on the floor, or glasses sitting on your nose.
Acknowledge three things you hear. Remember, you want to turn your focus away from your thoughts. So, the sounds need to be external. For example, maybe you hear traffic in the background or the hum of the heat or air blowing or a bird chirping.
Acknowledge two things you can smell. Does the air have a particular scent? Can you smell your shampoo or deodorant? If you can't pick out a smell, you may want to go find one, like some scented soap or a piece of fruit.
Acknowledge one thing you can taste. What does the inside of your mouth taste like? It might be coffee, lunch, or even the taste of your saliva.
