    Why do I like rewatching shows?

    Rewatching shows allows us to counteract loneliness, especially in times such as now. You don’t want to move forward, and so you rewatch the same show about being in college, or one that reminds you of a better time. You remain mentally fixated on this time and hold yourself back in doing so.

    What kind of movies are good to watch?

    Others give examples of true manliness in action. Some are lessons in how not to be a man. And others are simply entertaining movies that are just plain virile. But the common thread that runs through all of them is that they’re great movies that have stood the test of time.

    Is the movie Lonesome Dove for a man?

    Lonesome Dove is a Western every man should see. Even if you don’t like Westerns, you’ll love Lonesome Dove. Its themes of friendship, regret, and love will resonate with any man. The action scenes are just icing on the cake.

Most alcoholics don't even know they have a problem. So what are the signs of alcoholism and when should you, as a family member, start worrying that you might have a problem?

An alcoholic is someone who has a problem with his drinking. Either he is troubled by it, or someone else bears the brunt. Nobody is pleased with his drinking including himself.

Joining us to answer these questions is Dr. Sadaqat Ai. He is graduate from Dow Medical College, Karachi and is a recognized Addiction Psychiatrist with a background of training at "HAZELDEN" and Vital smarts USA. He is the project director of Willing Ways, Pakistan a state of the art facility for the alcoholism treatment.

Q: 1 Dr. Sadaqat, what's the difference between somebody who is an alcoholic and someone who just likes a drink or two?
A: Well, an alcoholic is someone who has a problem with his drinking. Either he is troubled it, or someone else bears the brunt. There are some specific criteria that we use to deter-mine alcoholism. We have a CAGE questionnaire. If some-one has made unsuccessful attempts to Cut Down, that It-leans there's an issue about his drinking. The second (me is Annoyance. Actually this ranges from irritability to rage. One should be pleased alter drinking after all that is why one drinks. Instead, we see him changing in front of our very eyes. He goes from cranky and irritable to rude, obnoxious or aggressive. He becomes louderand nothing seems right to him. The more he drinks the worse he grows. The third criterion is Guilt, which is saying, I think, I shouldn't be doing this.

It is not a mind-set that is prone to alcoholism. It is a "body-set" which is vulnerable. Drinking requires a pro drinking milieu; whilst alcoholism requires a conducive genetic makeup.

The use of alcohol in the mornings. There is a rule of thumb: If somebody points a finger at your drinking, its alcoholism.

Q: 2 But someone who likes to take a drink at dinner, a glass of wine, that's not a problem, is it?
A: It's not a problem, if it's not a problem. If it doesn't disturb his social and occupational functioning, if it doesn't disturb his health, it's not a problem. If it makes him more of a gentleman, then it is not a problem; rather it is a solution.

Q: 3 Dr. Sadaqat, could alcohol make you more of a gentle-man???
A: It is supposed to make one more of a gentleman and it does if one's body processes it in a normal fashion. It is supposed to make one sociable, relaxed, creative and confident. People don't drink alcohol to slur their speech, stagger their gate, throw up, repeat themselves over and over again or feel annoyed. They don't become drunk or pass out by design. People becomealcoholic by default. What's more, alcohol-ism does not happen to every-body who drinks. Only 10% will ultimately cross that invisibleat risk.

Q:4 Is it a mind-set which is prone to alcoholism?
A: No! The mind set may be prone to drinking only: but it is a “body-set” requires a pro drinking environment: whilst alcoholism requires a conducive genetic makeup. Drinking is a matter of body, the seat of drinking is in the mind, the seat of alcoholism in the body.

Q: 5 what is the Disease model of Alcoholism?
A: The disease model basically says that alcoholism is a bio-psycho-social and spiritual disease. It starts in the biology

When he is a little tipsy and is kind of okay in the morning, but still harbours a little toxin, he is suffering from micro-alcoholism. This is very risky if he works in a sensitive profession.

and "encroaches" on the psychology, sociology and spirituality, in that order. It is a primary, chronic and progressive illness; if untreated, it is Fatal. A person is not held responsible for his alcoholic just as a person is not held responsible [or diabetes and hypertension just because he made unhealthy choices leading to this dangerous duo. However, like a diabetic and it hypertensive patient, he is responsible for his recovery from this deadly disease. Of course, he needs empowerment and support From the Family to seek help. His flesh is Willinconcerned others tomotivate him towards recovery.

Q: 6 Could you tell us more about the disease part?
A: Of course… Alcohol once taken produces tranquility and is normally broken down to carbon dioxide and water. Both are harmless end products and are eliminated from the body as such. In alcoholism, the metabolism becomes erratic and an intermediate toxic substance accumulates, and hence the Word "intoxicated". This toxic substance is called acetaldehyde and it is quite similar to chloroform. This toxin makes the person numb and knocks him down when produced in abundance. The alcoholic may pass out and his body has to do lot of restorative

In alcoholism a chloroform like toxin, aldehyde accumulates in the blood; hence the term intoxicated. Presence of this substance in blood opens a whole lot of Pandora’s box.

work. This cleansing process takes many hours and when he regains consciousness, he is hung over because of the residual toxin.

Our Wilpf Nanaimo branch began in 2002.

We meet on on the traditional territory of  SNUNEYMUXW First Nations.

NANAIMO is a medium sized city on Vancouver Island off the west coast of British Columbia.

The name is derived from the COAST SALISH, SNUNEYMUXWOR “A PLACE TO MEET.”

We are a women’s peace group and meet regularly once a month.

We welcome you to meet with us

on the 2nd Monday of the month

at 10am— Nanaimo Harbourfront Library (Downtown).

If the 2nd Monday is a holiday we meet the next Monday.

  • Being a small group, we have learned to take on only what we know we can follow through with. We take on tasks that support the ideals of WILPF but have short time frames.

  • We have also learned that it is important to work with other like-minded groups.  Our greatest success is in keeping the name of WILPF out there.

  • This is primarily due to members who will set up a table whenever we are invited somewhere, bake muffins to sell and pass out WILPF information.

The event we put the most energy into is our annual Hiroshima Lantern ceremony on August 6th  .  Held on our waterfront.

  • We begin by writing to Nanaimo City Council asking the Mayor to declare August 6th Hiroshima Day in Nanaimo and invite the city to attend. The Council has always voted to do this and our Mayor or a Council member has often spoken. We read their Proclamation at the event.

    • The event takes place at Swa-a-Lana Lagoon on Nanaimo’s waterfront.

    • We begin at 9 pm with a short ceremony of music and words. The lanterns are launched at dusk.

    lanterns 2

    • We have often had our Member of Parliament speak or we read a statement from them.

    • Our MLA also attends and speaks every year.

    • We often have speakers who are visiting in the area from Japan.

    • In the past, we have had Japanese folk dances as part of the program, a large dove puppet which people carried around the waterfront all evening, and one year we released live doves at a certain point in the evening.

    • We always have music which most often includes Margaret Sutton playing the Japanese shakuhachi flute.

    • Early in July we host lantern-making workshops in preparation for the event. Since the lanterns are attached together, it takes thirty-five people walking together very slowly and lowering them into the water at just the right time.

    • A kayak pulls them around the lagoon. Then it takes all these people acting in tandem to get them back out.

    • The lanterns are beautiful in the darkness of the lagoon and families come back year after year to participate.

    We have been doing this every year for the past eighteen years since 2002.

20191020_135100We have had Letter Writing events to the Canadian Government to vote for nuclear disarmament.

letter writing

wilpf letterhead

  • In 2014 our WILPF Nanaimo group was accepted as “Commenter” for National Energy Board hearings about the Trans Mountain Pipeline proposed to be built from the Alberta Tar Sands to our shores.

We are urging them to reject this plan that could potentially ruin our coastline if there were a spill from increased tanker traffic.

  • We have initiated International Women’s Day potluck and celebrations, free and accessible to all women and their children. After these became very successful with 180 women showing up each year, we asked the women’s centre here to take over the organizing as it is too much for us. We work with them, paying for the venue and pitching in to help.
  • Each year we contribute funds to the local Miners Picnic for art supplies for the children’s program.
  • One of our members, Robin Sherling, prepares cards each year and creates a display for their sale at the Global Village store. The sale of these cards augments our income as a group.

  • In 2014 one of our projects was to lobby the City to put back the signs that used to grace our city entrances announcing that “Nanaimo is a Nuclear Weapons-free Zone.” The signs were put in place after our presentations to Council.

  • Our members were active in the Idle No More movement and we published a statement of support for this important movement.
  • In past years we hosted Remembrance Day peace gatherings at the gates of CFMTR, the Nanoose naval base just north of Nanaimo.

These gatherings were attended by people throughout the mid-island.

In 2006 on Mothers’ Day we hosted a Code Pink action there where women dressed in pink and planted pink primulas around the gates. We also initiated peace rallies in coalition with other local groups over Iraq and Afghanistan.

  • We did a War Toys Campaign, interviewing local stores that sold toys and checking out their shelves. We then put out a press release with our results and gave awards to two stores that carried no war toys.

  • When it was brought to our attention that our local police were using male guards to guard female prisoners, we worked with another women’s group to convince the city to hire women. This meant that male police could no longer sit in front of videos upstairs watching young women change their clothes or use the toilet as they were filmed in their cells.

  • We also brought attention to the issue of Security Certificates introduced in Canada after the incident of the Twin Towers in the USA.
  • These are measures that allow the Canadian government to detain people they suspect to be terrorists and hold them without bail, without legal representation and without being told why they are being held.
  • They are taken to a jail near Kingston Ontario which has been dubbed “Guantanamo North.”
  • Several men were held for a number of years there, Mohammed Harkat being released only recently. In Nanaimo in 2007 we hosted a letter-writing workshop about this and invited the press.
  • This is still an important issue for Canadians as these men have not been allowed the opportunity to clear their names and as long as these laws are in place, it can happen to others.

peace in sand picture pd

  • Our group feels the most important issue for us as Canadian women is the situation for Indigenous women as they are doubly exploited. The Missing Women from the Downtown Eastside in Vancouver and the murdered women along the Highway of Tears in Northern B.C. are mainly Indigenous women.

Where the World Comes to Play

International student-athletes key to Brenau tennis’ sustained success

In 11 seasons at Brenau University, Andre Ferreira has led the Golden Tigers tennis program to 140 victories, eight National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics championship appearances and two conference titles with nine All-American honorees.

These achievements have propelled Ferreira through the echelons of the NAIA’s coaching elite. The native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, currently ranks fourth in career winning percentage (63.1%) and seventh in both all-time wins and active coaching victories.

“I’ve been fortunate to coach extraordinary groups of young women on the Brenau tennis team over the years,” says Ferreira, crediting his success to the “dedication, commitment and perseverance” of his players.

Like his Brenau tennis predecessors, Ferreira has also relied heavily on a bevy of international student-athletes and a global recruiting pipeline that began under coach and athletic director Bill Rogers in the 1990s. Brenau’s current tennis team, which recently opened its spring season ranked No. 6 in the country, includes four international players.

Ferreira says the ability to recruit internationally is crucial to remaining competitive in what is widely considered the most popular individual sport in the world. According to the International Tennis Federation, 87 million play the game worldwide.

“Tennis is a very global sport,” Ferreira says. “When you mix that with a U.S. higher education system that so closely combines athletics and academics, then you have a recipe for targeting a broader group.”

Ferreira, who is married to former Brenau tennis player Lindsay Woon, WC ’07, of Malaysia, whom he met while playing tennis at Berry College, says for many international prospects, playing tennis in the U.S. is a pathway to bigger opportunities. For some, that means chasing their dreams to get to the pros, though for most it’s about the opportunity to get an education while playing the sport they love.

“Getting a college education and playing tennis at the same time was impossible in my home country of Belarus. Furthermore, beyond education and tennis, the U.S. offered immense life opportunities.”

Brenau trustee and former tennis player

That was especially true for Brenau University trustee Antonina Grib Lerch, WC ’03, who as a member of the Golden Tigers tennis teams from 2000-2002 won a still-unmatched three straight “Super Bowl” titles as the national champ in women’s collegiate singles play. The three-time All-American was also a member of Brenau’s 2002 national championship team.

Lerch, from Minsk, Belarus, was originally recruited by Clemson until an NCAA eligibility issue forced her to look to the then-looser NAIA. Rogers saw her play only once, but it was enough to offer her a scholarship to Brenau. For Lerch, coming to the U.S. was an “opportunity to get a great education, play tennis at a high level and improve my life.”

“Getting a college education and playing tennis at the same time was impossible in my home country of Belarus,” says Lerch, who majored in fashion merchandising at Brenau. “Furthermore, beyond education and tennis, the U.S. offered immense life opportunities.”

At Brenau, Lerch discovered a campus and community very different from her home in Belarus, which was still in deep economic crisis following the fall of the Soviet Union. “Minsk was large, polluted and difficult to navigate,” Lerch says. “I found Brenau vibrant and beautiful with fresh air and beautiful greenery. The campus and town were easy to get around, and the local economy was prospering.”

Lerch says she was also impressed by the warm and welcoming faculty and students at Brenau and “the family-like atmosphere was very different from anything I had experienced before.”

After graduating from Brenau in 2003, Lerch enrolled in the costume design and technology MFA program at the University of Georgia. She would eventually go on to a successful career as a Hollywood costumer on award-winning TV programs like Mad Men, Dollhouse, Dexter and True Blood and on films like Night at the Museum II (2009) and Star Trek (2009), though she has since retired to focus on family.

Excellence on the court and in the classroom

Like Lerch, Nelli Martirosyan, WC ’12, BU ’16, says she and her sister, Lilit — who played tennis at Sam Houston State University and later Columbia College in South Carolina — came to the U.S. seeking educational opportunities not available in their home country of Armenia.

“Tennis was our only chance to actually go to college,” says Martirosyan, a four-time NAIA scholar-athlete and current admissions graphic design specialist at Brenau. “My family found out about athletic scholarships when I was 10, so it was something we started working toward — to be able to play tennis and get an education in the U.S.”

Applying to colleges in Southern states because she “wanted to go somewhere warmer,” Martirosyan says she sent her recruiting video to Gordon Leslie, Brenau tennis coach and athletic director from 2005 to 2010, and “everything fell into place after that.”

“We started beating everyone, and suddenly teams didn’t want to play us because they didn’t want that ‘L’ on their record.”

Bill Rogers, former Brenau tennis coach

Martirosyan credits Leslie, who was born in Scotland and grew up in England, as a big part of her decision to come to Brenau. Leslie led the Golden Tigers to four national championship appearances, compiling a 71-46 record while consistently being ranked in the top 10. His 2008 team, which included Martirosyan, featured an all-international roster of seven players from six different countries.

“He was just really different from all the other coaches I talked to,” Martirosyan says. “Brenau also seemed like a really neat, connected community, and I enjoyed having more of a smaller community around me, especially as an international student.”

While Martirosyan is grateful for her time as an athlete at Brenau, she is equally proud of her and her teammates’ accomplishments in the classroom.

“Honestly, it was a lot of pressure, but at the same time, it was really cool knowing that I was a part of such a strong team in the NAIA division — not just athletically, but academically as well,” says Martirosyan, who earned both her BFA in graphic design in 2012 and MBA in project management in 2016 from Brenau. “We represented what student-athletes should be for a long time, and we still do.”

(Brenau University)

Building a powerhouse

Developing successful student-athletes, on and off the court, was a top priority for Rogers after arriving at Brenau in 1990. And that he did.

In 15 seasons, Rogers’ powerhouse teams amassed more than 300 victories and over 30 team, individual and doubles titles, including team national championships in 1999 and 2002. From 1990 to 2005, the Golden Tigers never had a losing record, finished outside the top 10 national rankings just twice and produced dozens of All-Americans and scholar-athletes.

An influx of international talent played a big part in that success. Growing up and playing tennis in Florida, Rogers says he was exposed to several international players and made a lot of contacts from all over the world that he remained in close touch with.

“When I got to Brenau, I began reaching out to them,” Rogers says, “and they were like, ‘Yeah, sure. We can help you out.’”

Rogers says expanding Brenau’s recruiting footprint internationally “absolutely upped our game,” creating more competition within the team and increasing skill levels. And while many schools did not want to schedule his early teams because “they thought we weren’t very good,” Rogers says that changed as Brenau continued to stack its rosters with top international talent.

“We started beating everyone, and suddenly teams didn’t want to play us because they didn’t want that ‘L’ on their record,” says Rogers, now a professor of exercise science at Georgia Gwinnett College, where he previously served as dean of student services and associate dean of students for wellness.

Today, competition on the court and in recruiting is tougher than ever. While Brenau continues to recruit internationally through its recruiting agencies, by word of mouth and via random contacts — such as cold calls or emails and videos sent by recruits — Ferreira says the current COVID-19 situation has presented many challenges.

“There were so many uncertainties this year: travel bans, quarantine rules, scheduling issues with embassy appointments to get student visas, etc.,” he says. “We are lucky enough, heading into fall 2021, that we don’t have any graduating seniors. We also had several local players, including twin sisters MaryWynn and Sally Brannon of Gainesville, join us. So, if no one leaves, we’re in good shape with our roster.”

Carrying the torch

Brenau’s four current international players include juniors Juana Zambrano of Peru and Evelin Gouveia of Brazil, and seniors Valentina Pabon of Colombia and Peeraya Charoensirisutthikul of Thailand.

For Zambrano and Gouveia, having a fellow South American as their coach and mentor played a big part in their decision to attend Brenau. They also share an appreciation for the kindness and support they have found in their Brenau community.

“Coach (Ferreira) is one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” says Zambrano, who is majoring in marketing. “I had offers from other schools, but I just connected in some way with him. He’s also South American and understood my situation. I don’t come from a higher income, so he looked for ways for me to come here. He was all in, and I liked that about him.”

Gouveia, an interior design major and student international ambassador, says Ferreira gave her the courage to know that she could “overcome the language and culture barriers” of coming to Brenau.

“The mix of cultures, accents and the way we interact with each other is so interesting and the best part of being on the team,” she says. “We always joke about the way that we speak and how we sometimes mess up the English. It’s what makes our team special, and that chemistry is what keeps us going and helps us motivate each other.”

Pabon says, like so many other international student-athletes, she chose to play collegiate tennis in the U.S. because the integration of athletics and academics in higher education was not available in her home country of Colombia.

“Back home, I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to play tennis and study at the same time,” she says. “I would have to choose between them, and I didn’t want to do that. I wanted to be able to do both, but I couldn’t in Colombia because, unfortunately, the universities there don’t support sports too much.”

While Pabon thought Brenau would be like the “big universities and campuses I saw in movies,” the marketing operations management major says she was unexpectedly happy to discover a place where she feels like she truly belongs.

“I realized Brenau was what I needed,” she says. “I found that I loved the small classes, being able to participate and to be able to get to know my professors and my professors get to know me. I’m not just a student. They know who I am. I’m someone at Brenau. I matter.”

It’s a caring community that Charoensirisutthikul — a 2020 Brenau graduate in finance and accounting who is currently working on a second undergraduate degree in exercise science — calls her “backup family.”

“The people, the professors, everybody that works at Brenau — they’re always willing to help, and they always make me feel like I’m at home,” she says.

Welcome to Wisdom Circles. A wisdom circle is a way for small groups of people to create a safe space within which to be trusting, authentic, caring and open to change. The wisdom circle format encourages participants to reflect more deeply when they know they will not be interrupted or given advice. A wisdom circle is based on ten “constants” or guidelines. It’s designed to encourage people to gather in small groups, listen and speak from the heart, in a spirit of inquiry. By opening and closing the circle with a simple ritual of the group’s choosing, using a talking object, and inviting silence to enter the circle, we create a space together that qualitatively different from an ordinary discussion or support group. This process provides a way to deepen the values that sustain our lives while in the company of kindred spirits. In a wisdom circle, we come to realize how many of us there are who share the life-affirming values of compassion, equality, respect for diversity, and concern for the whole. We encounter people who are committed to these values as their basis for service in the world. Here we can develop greater self-awareness as well as the strength of mutual support.

The circle is a universal symbol for unity and wholeness, and the form of meeting in circle is ancient. Each of us has ancestors, no matter what your ethnic or racial background, who sat around a fire together, drumming, singing, playing, dancing, telling stories, praying, grieving together, solving the problems of everyday life. The memory of this connection to the circle is in our bodies, in our psyches.

The political foundations of North America were shaped by two strong circle traditions: the British and the Native American. One of Britain’s most enduring stories, originating in Celtic mythology, is that of King Arthur and his Round Table. The knights took an oath to serve not only the other table members, but the kingdom as a whole. Their covenant promised a humane safety net for even the most vulnerable members of the society.

When we read the history of the U.S. Constitution, we learn  that this document was based on the model of the Iroquois Confederacy, a system of separate tribal councils that met as a Grand Council every five years with the responsibility for the welfare of the whole. Members of the tribal councils were chosen by the Council of Matrons, the oldest women of the tribe, who met in circle.

Since the times when people sat around the tribal fires, we have developed many variations of the circle: support groups, dialogue groups, group psychotherapy, Bible study groups, twelve-step groups, consciousness-raising circles, men’s and women’s groups, to name a few. These are people actively exploring what has meaning in their lives by pursuing personal and social transformation.

We invite you to join with us and the thousands of people around the world who have discovered this process. We yearn for a safe space within which to be authentic, trusting, caring, and open to change. We are searching for a way of life that embraces wisdom and compassion as its core principles. By wisdom we mean deep insight into the ways we are connected and how the strength of each one of us is vital to the whole. By compassion we mean the deep feeling that comes when we recognize our soul’s reflection in another person, when that other person’s pain or joy becomes our own.

 We know that the place to begin is within our own hearts and minds.  That is what led us to establish Wisdom Circles.  We want to share our efforts in self-discovery, social activism and spiritual inquiry in the company of kindred spirits.  We recognize the advantages inherent in the way the entire ecosystem organizes itself: with an emphasis on interdependence, diversity, and the wellbing of future generations.  To integrate these values into our daily lives, we need the strength and support of a larger community.

So we invite you to come sit with us in circle, meeting heart to heart, learning from each other’s life esperiences and honoring the values that sustain our lives.  This is a place for deep truth-telling, for practicing a way of relating to each other that can become the norm for all our relationships.  This is also a place for recognizing our own unique talents and abilities.  We will pass the talking stick and take turns speaking to our basic inquiry:  How can we continue to survive, hope, dream and carry on during this time of global tumult?

Five Traditional Irish Desserts in Celebration of St Patrick’s Day

Try Our Irish Cream Chocolate Truffle!

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! You can celebrate the rich Irish culture by wearing your favorite green sweater, attending a parade, strolling down to the local pub for a Guinness, or indulging in one of these traditional delicacies.

Irish Potato Candy

These delicious treats get their name from their petite potato shape. Originating among the Irish immigrants in Philadelphia, each tiny treat is stuffed with coconut cream and then rolled in cinnamon. Traditionally served in a brown paper bag to mimic a potato sack.

Bread and Butter Pudding

This isn’t your grandmother’s bread pudding (unless your grandmother is Irish). Bread and butter pudding was a popular dish during cold and dreary Irish winters. The sweet, buttery brioche is soaked in homemade vanilla custard, sprinkled with sugar, and broiled until the top is caramelized. Slàinte!

Bag of Lucky Charms

Every Irish child longs to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! While your kids search, give them a bag of gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins as a fun and delicious way to replicate the classic tale.

Irish Porter Cake

Consider this traditional cake the Irish twist on the American fruit cake (yet more popular). Filled with dried fruit, lemon zest, and candied citrus peel, this chewy treat is made better with a strong porter or stout. Enjoy the Irish porter cake as a hearty breakfast or late night snack!

Bailey’s Marble Cheesecake

What would St. Patrick’s Day be without a nip of Bailey’s? This incredibly rich dessert has all of the classic Irish touches: Irish cream, citrus zest, and sweet density. Sit back, cut yourself a slice, and hum The Rising of the Moon in between bites.

Discrepancies, Hilarious or Otherwise

Last week when I was at the library, I had a sudden desire to read about the Mason/Dixon line and the Underground Railroad. A search of the computer files brought up a book in historical fiction and I was fascinated to find that the story is set locally. Today I was reading the first chapter, where the little boy catches his first catfish and his friend shows him how to scale it and fry it in a cast iron frying pan. Huh? Wha?.. I thought everybody knew catfish have no scales and now I don’t want to read any more of the story because I am so disappointed that the author did that to his readers and I am totally disenchanted because of his probable lack of research concerning the Mason/Dixon line as well. Unforgiving? Maybe, but really, all I can think is “catfish scales” when I want to read.

This sensitivity to discrepancies in writing may stem from a story I once wrote for a literature class, in which I, the main character, was driving home after dark and the headlights got dimmer and dimmer as the battery died. Oh the prayers and teen drama as I crested the last hill and drove into our lane in the quite inadequate starlight. All the guys in the class grinned knowingly and explained with maddening superiority that it would have been an alternator problem. Lesson learned. One should do one’s homework. Which also means one should not attempt a novel about the Amish if one has never been Amish, because an arranged marriage with a young and handsome bishop will be the tip-off that one truly does not understand one’s subject.

In other news, I have been sorting and rearranging and stroking my fabric stash. I decided to go through both totes and cupboards, do a thorough job. This way I know what I have, which may possibly be a slap on the wrist the next time I see a lovely piece I can’t resist. Or maybe not. I found record of a few dismal failures that I had tucked out of sight when they happened. It is very difficult for me to simply discard an article of clothing I worked on that just cannot seem to leave the ground, but today I was firm. A casual onlooker would have wondered why it was such a big deal when I chucked out the rust colored skirt with the fall leaves, the slippery one that hung crooked at the hem and was too big at the waist. There was my wedding tablecloth in one of the totes, as well as a curtain that never stood right on the rod. I found a skirt that simply needed the hooks and eyes refastened and a dress with a split zipper, which I replaced. Also a dress with one panel in the skirt taken out the wrong way, so that the sheen on that panel is different. I still don’t know what to do with it, since there isn’t enough fabric to replace it, and it’s such a pretty color. Then there was the Woolrich jumper of green plaid that I bought to repurpose into boys’ pajama pants, which Alex promptly did today. There were scraps from blankets I made for nieces and nephews, as well as some lovely Peter Rabbit flannel to make a nightie for my little girl.  I totally eliminated one tote, sorted out another for cutting into quilt squares for the ladies’ sewing day at church. The cleanse was both inspirational and cathartic. 🙂 And I wished for my sister so I could ask her why in the world does she think I ever thought this strange paisley swirl was pretty fabric?

It is really, really cold outside, and I have inflicted upon myself a diet in which it seems that all comfort food is verboten. Stinks, really. And please, nobody say anything about Skinny Chocolate. Off to eat my spinach salad…

  1. If you do not think a muffin in a mug is good then you have not deprived yourself long enuf….and if you can’t stand the stevia.. for goodness sake a little bit of honey is not gonna make you fat! oh, and I know I was forbidden to mention skinny chocolate, but have your tried it with peanut butter?? Everyone I’ve served it to takes the recipe along. ha-ha- love ya!

    1. I think my comment sounds a little hard hearted, now that I reread it…:)It should have smileys scattered through it and there’s some sarcasm too.:):) I really truly understand your pain,:)

      1. You are too soft hearted. 🙂 Yes, that muffin with instant coffee in it is great. What I meant was creamy soups, warm breads, you know, that sort of thing.

  2. Can you come help me sort my fabric stash and be totally ruthless? The things I save…. Sorry about the diet, they seem extra hard when it’s cold outside I find. I shouldn’t be so mean, but my baby likes mocha cheesecake, so I have been indulging her. 🙂

    1. It is my firm belief that you have to give your baby some (most) of the things they crave if you want them to be happy. Sprinkle, is it? will be a smooth and delightful baby, by all early indicators.

  3. Definately stick to your diet… Do not waver a bit cuz there are fat ditches on either side! And talk to our dear brudder who has never saved anything and his basement is immaculate! He might need the fabric

  4. Ahhh yes! The stash. My favorite pieces are out on a shelf. The cobbled knits and the failed projects are in the cedar chest. I expect death in the stash this week! I didn’t know catfish don’t have scales, ok I probably knew, but I would not have caught it. About the arranged marriage with the handsome Amish bishop, there are no words for this……

Reasons Why I Don’t Want to Be Thin

The End. There are none.

I wrote this a long time ago, but I think I finally have the courage to post it. Parts of it are joking and parts are dead serious. You can decide.

Reasons Why I Am Not Thin… Now that is another story altogether.

For starters, I got the Miller gene, the one that is short and tends to rotundity. It will be a lifelong tussle for me, and I feel quite realistically resigned to this. But the Millers are actually exceptionally nice people and I am glad I sprang from them. My uncles and aunts are the jolliest, most kind-hearted folks around and I couldn’t love them more if they were ectomorphs. (Just a little friendly advice here: if you are an ectomorph and you want people to like you, do not mention things like being able to eat anything you want and never gaining weight.)

I am a terrible dieter. My philosophy that life is better when it is actually enjoyed tends to include things like occasional toasted bagels with cream cheese or actual sugar to sweeten my Earl Grey, or bits of real chocolate. I do not even feel guilty if I choose a piece of carrot cake not labeled THM, S, off the dessert table at fellowship meal.

Also I have a problem: whenever I cut calories drastically my body wails, “She isn’t eating enough! We are going to starve. Hang on to everything you have!” This makes weight loss very difficult and it makes me so grouchy that I just want to chew stuff. My husband does not like when I am grouchy, and neither do my children. “Mama, we don’t want you to get as skinny as _______. (Super disciplined lady we know and love.) We wouldn’t even know you anymore!” Haha. Recently I posted a picture on Facebook that my ten year old son drew. He is very suspicious of diets and suspects that thin women need nourishment. Do Trim Healthy Mamas feed their children well? he wonders. Then again, there is Pudge-o-saurus, whose salad is simply too large, or maybe has too many croutons and bacon bits on it. I am striving to hit a happy medium here.

My husband is a nurse. He talks sense to me about diet and lifestyle and how it is all about taking care of our health. If you are not living indulgently and cramming too many calories and junk all the time, thank God for the food and enjoy it he says. If you have health issues, look at your diet and make changes. I might mention also that he loves me and makes me feel beautiful, and he has always done this, even when I was nine months pregnant. This is a man worth having and a very happy place for a woman like me to be.

Lifestyle is a big deal. I stay home and in the wintertime I mean like really stay home. Sure, I run around after children and up and down steps and around beds when I change the sheets, but it is a pretty sedentary life. Every chance I get, I slip out of the house in the evening for a brisk walk by myself, thankyouverymuch, but that is more about sweeping the uglies out of the soul and restoring peace internally than about aerobics. I am grateful to be able to play tag and hike and bike with my children. What I don’t have time for is hours at the gym.

Last but not least, I have gained and lost about 120 pounds in the process of giving birth to five babies. I am not even a little apologetic about that, and I will not feel sub-par because I look like maybe I had a few babies. I refuse to bow to the popular opinion that the only woman worth anything is the woman who makes what she looks like her top priority in life. (Someday I shall tell you about the most beautiful women I know.)

So. There you have it. All my excuses. And here is a confession: Sometimes I do feel very envious and large beside ladies who manage to stay slender and I wish I had their determination. I would be happy to lose 20 pounds. I am working on it in my own private way, because I seem to be allergic to “in things”,  even diets and chevron. The more rabid the following of a thing becomes, the more stubbornly determined I become to not join in. It is a bit of a problem, I know, but please just let me go. One more thing: if  the comments stay quiet, I will never write such a thing again.

May I have some chocolate now?

Edit: I did try the THM stuff. I gained 4 pounds. This may be at the heart of my “allergy”. However I do applaud all women who have taken charge of their health by a diet and lifestyle change. I really do. Hats off to you!

22 thoughts on “Reasons Why I Don’t Want to Be Thin

  1. Dort, as I was reading with great interest (as I do all of your posts), I kept thinking “This deserves a comment!”

    And then I got to the part where you ask for comments, or whatever. 🙂 Be happy I don’t overreact to coercion.

    Good job and I applaud your [eternal] perspective!

    1. I am glad that you don’t overreact to coercion seeing as I myself have been known to do that a time or two. 🙂 Mainly what I didn’t want was strained silence. I can handle what people have to say, I think… Thanks for the affirmation.

  2. I have the Eaton genes and I really liked and could relate to this post. I know that I need to be more content with my size yet not be lazy and work on my extra weight too. Little by little for those of us with a dead metabolism!! 🙂

      1. Oh my word. That last sentence has so much wisdom packed in it! I think all the get-healthy/get-fit motivators I’ve ever read have not reached this level of profound simplicity.

  3. Oh, you’ll get comments, don’t worry. I’m predicting this post will garner more feedback than any other you’ve done except the one in which you offered something FREE.
    I totally relate to this sentence “The more rabid the following of a thing becomes, the more stubbornly determined I become to not join in.” That’s me, totally. Recently I’ve been thinking I’m so glad I’ve been quietly using and LOVING essential oils for almost 15 years already, because if I’d be new to them, I definitely wouldn’t be signing up now that they’re the rage everywhere and I would truly be missing out. 🙂
    Thank-you for being vulnerable on this sensitive topic. Cheers to you and your beautiful, youthful-looking body!

    1. Linda, it cheers me that there are others who unreasonably miss out on occasional things just because they are all the rage. I appreciate your voice piping up here. 🙂

  4. Thank you so much for your honesty. I get sick of hearing about nothing except what size a girl is, how many miles she ran, or how many calories are in that cake. While health is important, there are more fascinating things to talk about, and I need to remember to inspire new topics in my conversations.

    1. I am glad to hear from you! I myself am guilty of bringing up those well worn subjects of women’s conversation. Time to focus less on how we appear and more on who we are.

  5. I was “amenning” all the way through. Loudly. 🙂 I’m another one who will stubbornly refuse to get on the bandwagon, because everyone else is on it. (Occasionally I realize it really is worth getting on. Usually by then, the fad is on the way out. So I never quite manage to be “in”! :)) I will probably wake up and think chevron is beautiful in about 5 years. But for now, it’s too 80ish to strike my fancy. 🙂 Loved this post!

    1. Yup, we spring from the same roots, you and I. I actually like chevron. It has grown on me a lot, but I guess I won’t use it for curtains because my curtains have to last at least 10 year. 🙂

  6. The old adage holds so true, “the sexiest part of a woman’s body is her brain”.
    I don’t like being pudgy, or dim witted. It was like a breath of fresh air discovering that nutrition could fix both and make me vibrant and full of joy again. And vibrant and full of joy was 15 lbs heavier then my “goal” weight.
    As far as current trends and fads go, I admit to a deep dislike for chevron and well tied scarves, as well as muffins in mugs and daily style selfie shots. If somebody says to me “you simply have to try……” I feel myself become pig headed and turned off. But I pride myself on being logical no matter my personal feelings, and so that is what I strive for at all times.

  7. I read it aloud to my endomorph husband.

    But. Have you tried Plexus??? 😉 (NOT!)

    After reading this post, I went to your facebook and looked at your happy and healthy pictures and sighed with delight.

    I would write more, but Victoria needs the computer.

  8. I have to add, the drawings are brilliant. Your child must be ever so smart the way he drew a wasp waisted trim healthy mama Dino.

  9. This post definitely deserves comments! I honestly laughed out loud after reading the title and first 2 sentences and I knew I was onto a good post (as are all of your posts)! I loved every sentence of it! Just this morning I stepped on the scales and told myself that this has got to stop. And then hubby called and said he was bringing home donuts for me. I ate them and enjoyed them to the fullest! 🙂 And one more thing – hubby and I both love Plexus and the way it has improved our sugar levels. I’m an ambassador so if you are ever interested just let me know. Hehe! 🙂

  10. Great post! I would love to be a Thin Healthy Mama (or is it Trim?) and lose 20 pounds, but so far I haven’t worked up the will power. I don’t like chevron patterns either, and can’t bear a bulky scarf around my neck. I can’t find clothes to buy because they all seem so ugly. I like my walls painted white and I still like red and green at Christmas. Thanks for being real!

  11. I think you are very beautiful. Always have! Your vibrancy and love for God, your family, and surroundings make you a joyful person to be around. I rate this blog one of my top ten. Love to you!

  12. I have loved this post, so much!!!! I am not a dieter. I agree very much with Sally Clarkson when she said interesting people love food, there just doesn’t seem too many great conversations with people who avoid eating this or that (unless it is truly an allergy!).
    I need to do some kind of exercise because my body does better when I do, so have been doing Leslie Sansone’s Walk a Mile on 15 min. on YouTube. Those are ones I can do! I am not a planks and crunches and dieting and selfie kind of woman. I have other ideals I guess, and those don’t allign with mine.
    I love your posts!

Father’s Day 2022: 10 Amazing Gift Ideas For Dad That Will Make Him Smile!

Historically, Father’s Day is celebrated every June 19. In the family, a father is a pillar of strength and someone who sacrifices part of their luxury in order to dedicate themselves to their children. Fathers are the guardians, mentors, and philosophers who work for the betterment of each and every member of the family. This day is entirely devoted to our fathers, for whom we are all extremely grateful.

So, if you want to make your father’s Day 2022 extra special, here are ten unusual gifts options:

1.Printed shirts: Printed shirts are popular, but printed kurtas are even hotter. Several e-commerce sites offer printed kurtas at different price points where you can purchase from independent Indian businesses.

2.Sunglasses: Aviators may be the ideal choice for Father’s Day sunglasses. Sunglasses shield our eyes from the sun’s harmful rays throughout the blazing sun. Finding the greatest sunglasses may assist our fathers in protecting themselves from the summer heat.

3.Watches: Despite the advent of smartwatches, a conventional watch may bring a smile to our father’s face. As a result, an excellent watch from a reputable brand could be a wonderful choice for a Father’s Day present.

4.Gadgets: The best gifts are gadgets, which might include mobile phones, computers, headphones, power banks, wearables, and other items.

5.Loungewear: While we’re on the subject of uber-cool fashion, Dandelion’s nightwear makes an unusual present. Dandelion is more loungewear (wear it at home during the day). It is made of soft cotton fabric. Designed for lazy summer weekends at home.

6.Grooming Kit: A well-thought-out men’s grooming combination kit will have all of the necessary items for the skin, beard, moustache, and hair. Men’s grooming wardrobes are increasingly competing with women’s. under eye creams, skin care treatments, gels, and potions abound in the beauty care armory. As well as deodorant, body wash and shaving cream, the personal kit could incorporate all of the grooming products the father might be looking for.

7.Perfumes: Fragrances are always popular, and here are a few unique choices. The market offers a variety of perfumes with varying scents and aromas.

8.Watch organizer’s: Consider getting Dad a watch holder with satin cushions to lay his watches on. Many brands and e-commerce platforms offer watch organizers with soft cushions to protect watches from damage.

9.Shoes: For our fathers, the ideal morning walk is in a pair of comfy shoes. The best gift we can give our adoring fathers is a pair of branded shoes.

10.Books: Books, especially those on specific topics, make excellent gifts. various books such as action, drama, romance, and so on. Books make excellent gifts since they may be thoughtful and occasionally thought inspiring.

Entering the Race

My doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.”   – Wilma Rudolph, first American woman runner to win three gold medals at a single Olympics

In July, I hesitantly entered a 5K race in Batavia to benefit Suicide Prevention Services. My daughter Mel’s boyfriend was co-founder of the event, and our entire family entered. Mel assured me I could walk. I have been walking short distances every day and had just added a little running, so I planned to walk most of the race and run when I could.

The race was on a hot and humid evening, and I waited anxiously for the start. “What is the route?” “What if I get lost?” “What if I’m the last to finish?”

I lined up with the runners, staying near the back so I wouldn’t block anyone. The starting gun fired, and off we went. The route went through a park and along the Fox River.  Volunteers showed us where to go at every crossroad. Quotes were written in chalk along the asphalt path: “Life is worth fighting for.” “Hope is real and change is possible.” “Stay strong because you’re worth it.” “Don’t Give Up.” I was uplifted and thought the sayings are good advice not only for the race, but for my life.

Mel and her friend Morgan had decided to walk, so I passed them early on. I shouted, “I can’t believe I passed you, Mel!” Mel was on the track team in high school and is very fast when she wants to be. Before long, the two of them zipped past me.

As I ran, I passed a woman. Then I walked, and she passed me. When she slowed, I moved ahead. Meanwhile, I passed Mel and Morgan again—they had gone back to walking. They decided to run the rest of the race and passed me easily.

I invited the woman who I was “neck and neck” with to run together. Jackie told me the race was in memory of a young man she knew who had taken his own life in high school. That put a new perspective on what we were doing by being in the race and what was important. Jackie and I motivated each other to run as much as we could, and we crossed the finish line together.

My race time was 43 minutes, 29 seconds. I hadn’t burned up any pavement, but I felt good.

After the race, my son Jim came up to me and said, “Mom, you placed third in your age group!” Jim and my husband Ken also placed third in their age groups, and my daughter Katie placed fourth.

Granted, my age group had only six participants. Nonetheless, when my name was announced, I was proud to go up to the stage and collect my 3rd Place ribbon.

Today, my husband asked if I want to enter another 5K race in September to benefit PADS DuPage. This time, I didn’t hesitate. I simply said, “Yes!”

Moon Lady

In Festival Boats 2022

Moon Lady was constructed in 2019 by instructor Jody Boyle and his students at the NWSWB in Port Hadlock. She was built pretty much as designed by John Gardner except for using local red cedar on white oak, a thicker transom, and changes to the bow cuddy. As a smaller version of a traditional lobster boat, she handles the inland waters of Puget Sound with smooth grace and flow, making her even more beautiful on the go. She was a safety chase boat during the 2021 Salish 100 cruise and is now used for overnight cruising throughout the sound and San Juans.

"It is crucial that government agencies have granted the right of procurement of liquid wood, which would be sold on organized exchange trading - said Ivan Valentine. "The exchange will allow a more effective interaction loggers, will provide sales, increase supply and demand that will give impetus to business development", — said Maxim Reshetnikov. "Exchange is an important tool for the development of competition and formation of price indicators, and, as a consequence, the creation of a modern and transparent market infrastructure", - said Dmitry Makhonin.

Stock roundwood trade has been developing in Russia since 2013, when the Russian President gave relevant instructions. Perm Krai is one of the first regions of Russia, organized the production output of the forest complex to the exchange. This is largely due to the forest wealth of the Kama region – the forest area is 12.4 million hectares (forest land - 71%), annual allowable cut and 19 million cubic meters.

Removing all active carts

Is there any way to remove all current carts programmatically? Not using direct SQL querys
Maybe I can use the "remove old carts" job...

Jan 23, 2021 23:05

Hey Juan,

Here is post that might help you:

And here is a screenshot of the job that you can just replicate and make small tweaks as suggested by Quan in the post above. Also, SQL query is not recommended.

Jan 24, 2021 2:07

 Hi Juan,

I have created a scheduled job for you to delete the active carts.

  • Load all carts using IOrderSearchService and pass the filter option (OrderSearchFilter) in the FindCarts method if you want to load the carts for a specific market, customer, date range, etc.
  • Use IOrderRepository and delete the cart entry.
    DisplayName = "Scheduled Delete Active Carts Job",
    Description = "Delete all carts",
    GUID = "84EBDA48-A71C-4BF9-8B39-0A0B3525EB0E",
    Restartable = true,
    SortIndex = -1000)]
public class ScheduledDeleteActiveCartsJab : ScheduledJobBase
    private bool _stopSignaled;
    private readonly IOrderSearchService _orderSearchService;
    private readonly IOrderRepository _orderRepository;

    public ScheduledDeleteActiveCartsJab( IOrderRepository orderRepository, IOrderSearchService orderSearchService)
        _orderRepository = orderRepository;
        _orderSearchService = orderSearchService;
        IsStoppable = true;

    /// <summary>
    /// Called when a user clicks on Stop for a manually started job, or when ASP.NET shuts down.
    /// </summary>
    public override void Stop()
        _stopSignaled = true;

    /// <summary>
    /// Called when a scheduled job executes
    /// </summary>
    public override string Execute()
        OnStatusChanged($"Starting execution of {this.GetType()}");
        _stopSignaled = this.DeleteActiveCarts();
        return $"All cart deleted successfully !!";

    private bool DeleteActiveCarts()
        var orderSearchFilter = new OrderSearchFilter();
        var carts= _orderSearchService.FindCarts(orderSearchFilter);

        foreach (var cart in carts.Orders)

        this.OnStatusChanged($"Total {carts.TotalRecords} carts deleted successfully !!");
        return true;

Update code and used IOrderSearchService instead of ICartSearchService. Thanks Quan!

Edited, Jan 24, 2021 17:35

It's important to load carts by batch. If you have hundred of thousands of carts or even more, loading them in one go is to probably not a good idea. You can do batch loading with a do-while loop, and use RecordsToRetrieve  to control how many carts you want to load in one batch.

Also ICartSearchService is an internal interface which should be avoided

Jan 25, 2021 9:49
Sanjay Kumar - Jan 25, 2021 10:53
I have already suggested to use 'OrderSearchFilter' to load a specific date range carts instead of loading all carts at one time.
If ICartSearchService is an internal interface then which interface we used to load all customer carts?
Quan Mai - Jan 25, 2021 12:21
IOrderSearchService is the public one and it supports searching for ICart

Arrows return to Olympic legacy venue in Yumenoshima Park

Japanese trials at Yumenoshima Park.

Yumenoshima Park hosted the archery competitions at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Although matchplay took place in a temporary stadium, which has since been deconstructed, conversion of the next-door qualification venue to a permanent range is finished and archers returned to the field last week for the start of Japan’s national team trials.

“Having an archery field in Tokyo, this is a place that people can feel archery closer than ever before,” said Yuko Okura, who worked as the sports manager for the Games.

“I feel now that this facility is part of the legacy of Tokyo 2020. People walking in the park have the chance to see, to feel archery.”

“It will be an important location to grow support for the sport in the city.”

The Yumenoshima Park range, which accommodated more than 80 targets during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, was always designed to remain as a legacy venue and constructed with a substantial shelter, central viewing deck and concrete shooting line.

A back-stop mound has since been added and the considerable Games-specific branding removed.

“It’s a little sad to see all the venue colour removed. But when I see archery happening it reminds me that this was actually an Olympic and Paralympic venue,” added Yuko.

“It feels a little bit like a dream, like it was a long time ago, and I can’t believe it’s only been finished for two months.”

Three Olympic records were set on the field during Tokyo, all by Korean sensation An San – who went on to become the first archer in history to win three gold medals at one edition of the Games.

Yumenoshima Park marks the first Olympic archery range to remain as a legacy venue since Sydney 2000.

(The ranking rounds in Athens, Beijing, London and Rio all took place in temporary facilities.)

Yumenoshima translates as ‘dream island’. The park was constructed on reclaimed land, previously used for waste disposal.

The concept is the fruition of the dialogue that has taken place between the Client and the Architect. Designing a Fashion Headquarters Office challenges a design response to create spaces and
building that not only functions in the traditional sense of an office space but a space that can inspire and nurture a community between the different Brand Departments of the Company.
A collection of spaces that ‘Unite’ the company and furthermore make the environment a family, a ‘home’ to enjoy your work and people you work with.
PeaceBird as a Company is very successful and the name itself conjures the imagination to think of ‘freedom’, ‘to be yourself, express yourself’. The sense of ‘flight’ like a bird, ‘free as a bird’. Our aim was to capture this spirit in the conceptual design so the headquarters itself also expressed this ideology and will represent the company values towards fashion and textile design in its architectural language. We also felt it necessary that the design have within it’s ‘DNA’ a contemporary Chinese essence. The architecture should embody Chinese Culture and manifest itself for a modern World and not just become a Globalized design without place or a sense of belonging.
After considering many approaches to the project we had a strong sense of feeling that this building should express itself from the inside out........meaning we wanted to embrace the energy from the design environment within the ‘heart’ of the HQ and allow this to pulsate outwards like a source of energy to the outer envelope and landscaping. In a sense we wanted to achieve a scheme that was holistic and dynamic to celebrate the company ideology. A building that takes an ‘iconic’ status within the City of Ningbo. A building and Company Ningbo can be proud of.
The flight’ of a bird can be taken in the form of many narratives but how could we express this and combine it with the creativity of the fashion company? a young, fashionable, contemporary, dynamic company! A company that represents a New China for the 21st Century. It became apparent early on that we should research what creates flight, what energy and forces allow this phenomenon to occur. A ‘Thermal’ is the purest meteorological matter associated with this and it affects many things. A ‘bird’ for example can effortlessly glide on a thermal. It can be graceful and use the most minimal of effort to achieve ‘flight’.
The thermal in its form is ‘sinuous’ and ‘efficient’. This movement and space became the catalyst for the concept. It operates and functions efficiently at many levels and gave us a kind of vortex epicenter to the whole scheme. Floor levels could radial outwards from this form like a Chinese Ancient fan. This approach would become the space in the building where people could ‘connect’. Voids and vertical circulation in the form of ‘super staircases’ could penetrate and rotate in the space generating spectacular spaces and sculpt the natural daylight. It allows for more ventilation through the space providing greater energy efficiency.
The ‘thermal’ takes on a pure circular form in plan and spirals upwards. These geometric ingredients gave us a very strong form that integrated functionality, sustainability and architecture. A ‘Loop’ is formed which ‘sucks’ you in through the entrance and takes you on a fluid, sinuous journey through the spaces of the HQ Building coming to a climax at roof level where the ‘Thermal’ movement delivers you at the roof gardens to spectacular panoramic views across the notion of a soaring upward movement.
The office plans through design studies created ‘ringed thresholds’ that filter the space from outside (private) to inside (community) converging on views and access to a modern day interpretation of the Chinese hidden garden that was so prominent in ancient Chinese architecture. This garden acts as a ‘lung’. It is the space that is revealed progressively to the eye on approach and where offices have views and people can relax when they need to recharge their creativity.
The Garden also ‘crowns’ the spaces below in the underworld of the project where exhibition, conferences and fashion shows can be accommodated. It is like a multi layered, multi-functional roof. The garden becomes more though, it takes the same holistic approach as the office spaces and movement by creating a sinuous movement through two floor levels. This allows it to respond to the views from reception and the office spaces above. A kind of landscaped amphitheater that in the summer months can be used for company events from fashion shows to lectures or ‘Cinema’ at night for the staff.
The landscape resonates through the building to the external site where the geometry echoes the movement and energy created from the spaces within. The tangential geometry from the loop sculpts the landscape and provides gradients and textured surfaces of plants, water and access roads. This architectural treatment covers the site allowing shade and camouflage for the pedestrian, vehicular and bicycle users.
It is the final piece of the concept that ‘frames’ the view of the HQ Building giving it a ‘spirit, energy and expression of the identity of PeaceBird’. The form seems pure but in the subtlety of its detail creates a gentle ‘looped ripple’ that helps screen and shade office spaces from the direct sunlight allowing full height glazing to open up expansive views. This delicate approach has a metaphoric connection with textiles/fabrics that come alive when they designed, manufactured and worn. The movement and ‘ripple’ gives it shape and celebrates the individual that graces the garment.
Therefore, the Concept is ‘tailored’ and ‘expresses’ the needs of this project, it aspires to connect with the way people will live and work in this space and celebrate a new era in 21st century Chinese Culture which PeaceBird as a Company is part of and is defining in this moment of time.
“Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

My First Paragliding Experience with Temple Pilots

It was a very amazing experience. I had lot of fun but with that I also learnt new things. I learnt how to inflate and deflate the glider. When you are in air you feel like you are bird. There I made lots of friends. Everyone was elder to me but still they became my friends. It was a course of 4 days. In 4 days they taught me basic things about paragliding. Then they took my test to check if I was ready to fly or not. On second day I took my first flight. On second day my landing was very bad. Every morning we used to have a group discussion. In it our advanced pilots use to tell our mistakes and at the same time they use to motivate use. I learnt from my mistakes and on last day I landed and I was very happy that I started shouting. In those 4 days I enjoyed a lot. If I get a chance to go there again I will take my friends.

Autobiography of a River

I am a river.I was born on a mountain.I have spent my childhood with the greenery around me.I play with the trees and flowers and went forward.After coming down from the mountain I went to an open ground.When I came in open ground my force started getting low and after a while it stopped. There are many villages and cities who settles there beside me.I give them water to drink.When I get fatigued I sat under a tree to est for sometime. From the old age time people uses water for drinking ,cooking etc.Even birds drinks my water.People and animals both are fond of me.One day I was absorbed in playing with my friends and suddenly floods started flowing and some villages beside me got caught inside my floods.I destroyed everything around me.I was hopeless after that incident.After a week there was a heavy rainfall. I was self-conscious about the floods in me.When I was continuing on my path heard the noise of floods.I was reluctant not to bring floods but their was a heavy rainfall on me that I could  not control myself only.After few weeks some engineer built dams on me.When they built the dam on me was uncomfortable but when I thought about the floods that came in me and destroyed everything then I got satisfied.The dam was being positive to people living there.After building dams people started coming at me.They use to pray me a lot everything.They use to cherish me.I had bond relationship with them.I was engrossed in people that I did not even know that how the day past.Now I am self-assured that because of me no one will get in problem.

My Perilous Dream

It was a stormy night .My 2 sisters and me went for a walk after my dinner.We took a small ball with us to train my little and sweet dog coco.Our parents were talking about how to save money.We all were enjoying.Suddenly our parents got lost.We started finding them. My pet coco found a smell which was not of a human.He followed the smell and we followed him.While following the smell he found a spaceship which was of alien.When we approached it the lights started shining and one of the alien came out with our parents.The alien was just to kill our parents.We requested not to kill them.They told OK but for one condition.We asked what is the condition.He told to help us to fight with a monster.First we said no but by looking at our parents we said yes.The alien kept our parents safely out of the spaceship door and it started flying.Our mother was anxious about us.After a while we were on their planet which was Jupiter.There was a huge castle in which aliens lived After entering the castle,I was shocked.Each and every alien was hectic in some work except for 2.The commander shouter on them and told not hesitate.They told us to rest for some time because we were fatigued.The next day they called us for breakfast.We got mingled in alien to help out them The commander told me that the monster is made of ice.I thought a lot but no idea came in my mind.Then one of my sister whose name was Sadhana told me that we can fight with the monster with acid .Then I got one plan.I shared my plan with commander and he told that these is outstanding.I was self assured about my plan.We made a puddle for the monster.After a week the monster returned.He was destroying everything that came in frount of him.Somehow I brought him near the puddle and 1000s of strong aliens pushed him in the puddle.The other group of aliens promptly put acid on him and he died.After finishing the monster i asked commander that why do you take me as a helper to you.He answered that you are bravehearted. Everyone was happy that the monster is died.We told the aliens that now that the monster is finished we want to go to our home.They told to close your eyes and say that there is no other place like house 3 times and you will be at your house.After opening my eyes I was in my home.Then I laughed on myself. Listening my sound my sister asked me what happened,then I told that I saw a perilous dream.

Wedding Draping Mullingar Park Hotel

Wedding Draping Mullingar Park Hotel

Wedding Draping is a floor to ceiling draping system called pipe and drape. The pipe and drape system is the metal frame that goes around the outskirts of a wedding room, we then hang the fabric on this frame. It is a free standing system so there are no fixings or attachments to the walls or ceiling of the venue.

Wedding Draping can cover up bad walls, horrible curtains, unsightly mirrors, store room doorways that don’t need to be open and many more things that are better not seen on a very special occasion.

Wedding Draping is a fantastic way of turning a large function room into a smaller intimate setting when the room is too big. We can do this by building a wall of fabric across the room transforming the large room into a comfortable space for a smaller wedding.

Every well styled wedding room will have a beautiful bespoke fairy light backdrop behind the top table

Wedding Draping is also very popular in civil ceremonies; it is now often built to cover the full room and can have a custom built fairy light backdrop behind the registrars table
