Moving Day!

It's finally here!

After trekking back down to London and having a few moments where it looked like we might not get there in time to pick up our visas, thanks to the bus being super later, we finally got them and confirmed our flights for today at 17:00.

I'm glad I've had the last few weeks to see everyone and after a couple of teary goodbyes I'm finally ready to go. A final DQ, a colouring in session with the roller girls on Old No. 7's tables, a visit to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and gorging on Bannoffee pie (Because i have the excuse I won't get to eat it for another year) have all been highlights.

We're now waiting in the lounge ready to board our first of three flights, and I'm trying to ignore the fact that I've got several necklaces on and about 3 jackets to wear to try and keep the weight of my case down. My carefully packed hand luggage has already been unpacked by security, thinking I was carrying some sort of weird musical instrument and Tasha had to explain it was a pair of skates while i was patted down...See you on the other side!

What we Gone and Did at the Weekend

I know it's a little late to be writing about what we did last weekend, as the coming weekend is closer now, but it was a really great one for lots of different reasons:

Oktoberfest on Friday night. I'm not usually a beer drinker, but after several months in Korea I can now handle the likes of Cass, Hite and Max, so I decided to give a few others a try, and was surprised that I didn't actually mind what I tasted! Even better than being able to try new drinks was the fact that they were served in an adorable mustache beer mug which we were able to take home with us. I don't think that I will be able to forget when the poor mascot who was dressed as a beer mug was forced to dance to the whole of Gangnam style. Half way through, a middle aged dad decided to try and outdo him, so ran onto the dancefloor swinging his crotch about in an X-rated way to the cat calls and applause of all the drunk Korean women stuffing their faces with a strange Korean twist on German sausage. The man was later told to tone it down by a female Russian performer who I couldn't tell was supposed to be dressed as red riding hood after she'd stuck her finger in the plug socket or a medieval wench. I loved that she chastised him by wagging her finger like a Victorian matron, that was him told.

The Scavenger Hunt on Saturday I think that enough's been said about this already here. But it was lots of fun to do, great to spend time with a couple of people I didn't know all too well, and see exactly what we could get away with in Korea with the excuse that we're Waygooks.

Meeting New People Our lovely friend Alex had 7, that's right, 7 whole friends come and visit him the last week or so, so it was nice to meet lots of new and interesting people back from the UK. It was funny to see their first opinion on things that we now take for granted.

Sunday Afternoon in Rock and Roll Bar Apart from not actually knowing where the place was, and me being adamant that I did for at least 20 minutes, making four of us traipse the streets in the rain looking for it and swearing I was on the right side of the road, it was good when we did get there. Lots of games of pool (my team won 2, I like to think the one ball I potted was pivotal to our victory), darts and cherry coke! Surrounded by friends on a wet and miserable Sunday night, what more could you want from a bar?!

Monday off work  extended weekends are always good. School was closed on Monday due to typhoon Samba. Apart from a bit of rain and wind, there was nothing out of the ordinary around Nampo-Dong, just a normal, wet, blustery Autumn day back in the UK! Which meant that Tasha and I could make the most of it. I didn't wake up until 11, but then we headed out and went for coffee and a bit of shopping at Lotte's Artbox.

• 15 grams caraway seeds
• 150 grams chickpeas
• 10 grams garlic clove
• 2kg lamb shoulder, bone in
• 2 each red onions, sliced
• 600ml lamb stock
• 60 grams pomegranate molasses
• 8 grams cumin seeds, ground
• 8 grams coriander, ground
• 10 grams roasted garlic, finely chopped
• 1each lemon, juice only
• 25ml grapeseed oil
• 15 grams castor sugar

• For the risotto; soak the chickpeas overnight and marinate the lamb neck in the crushed caraway seed, also overnight.
• Add the meat and soaked chickpeas to a pot and cover with the chicken stock, bring to the boil then simmer until chickpeas are tender. Then transfer the chickpeas and meat to a clean pot.
• Clean the meat from the bones and shred.
• Melt the butter over medium heat, add finely chopped shallots and cook out for 1 to 2 minutes until translucent. Deglaze with verjus until reduced by 50 percent. Add the barley, stir to coat until barley absorbs most of the liquid. Reduce the heat and add the chicken stock until just covering the barley and stir until absorbed, repeat this, adding stock to barley a little at a time, waiting until barley absorbs stock. Stirring very often 25 to 30 minutes or until the barley is al dente. Add the shredded lamb and cooked chickpeas. Place on a tray to cool down and refrigerate until needed.
• For the pulled lamb; mix together the molasses, cumin, coriander, lemon, garlic, and oil. Pierce the lamb all over with a sharp knife, going in by about 1cm with your knife tip. Put the lamb in a big bowl and pour half the glaze over it, massage it over and in to the meat, turning it over so you have covered all of it. Marinate overnight.
•Place the lamb and onions in a vacuum bag and pour the rest of the glaze over the top of it. Then pour half of the stock around the lamb (not on it) and seal the bag fully and slow cook in a water bath at 72C degrees for 22 hours.
• After the lamb is cooked, place in a pan with all glaze and cook until the meat is beautifully glazed, remove and take the lamb out of the pan and place it on a dish or board. Cover with foil and rest for 15 minutes. While it’s resting, take the pan contents, which will be very oily and have black pieces of pomegranate molasses in, carefully drain off the oil leaving just the molasses and onions. Then place the pan on the hob with medium heat and add remaining stocks and start scraping the edges of the tray to get all the sticky deliciousness melting with the stock to create an intense gravy. It will be dark and shiny and once you’ve got everything from the edges and smooth gravy, add the tablespoon of sugar and turn the heat down to a light simmer. Letting it reduce by about half so its a sticky glaze.
• Take the rested lamb and put it in the reduced glaze, coat well and reserve for service.
• To serve; Re-heat the barley risotto, add the butter and correct the seasoning. Take approximately 180 grams of lamb and reheat in the oven with the onions with a little stock until hot. Place the risotto in the serving dish and arrange the onions and pulled lamb around the barley rice and drizzle over the remaining glaze.
• Garnish with pickled herbs and micro cress.

Ancient Rome Warrior Axe and wall display 22"

RRP: $69.99save 14% SKU L20108
(0 reviews)

This Axe certainly has the flavor of the Ancient Rome Warrior, with its golden gilded crest, shaft and pommel. Its twin stainless blades are fantasy style, with hollows carved out of each side. The openings make the axe look much more lethal and give it a lightness that you wouldn't expect. Perfect for a quick swings. The rubber grip is, of course, not historically accurate, but the axe is much more of a fantasy showpiece than a historical reproduction. Besides, the rubber gives the handle a fantastic feel and provides a matchless grip. The stainless steel shaft is made to be light but strong, and the gold spike on the end is a terrifying addition to the axe. This axe is machined to perfection. An absolutely stunning addition to any collection. Comes with its own mounting plaque and custom hardware. Overall Length 22 inch

Biography and Publications

I was born in December 1952, in Yorkshire, the second of four children. My father was the eldest of twelve, and this extended family has no doubt had a strong influence on my life, as have my own children. In a large family you hear a great many stories. You also come to understand very early that stories  hold quite different meanings for different listeners, and can be recast  from many viewpoints.

Poetry was very important to me from childhood. I began by listening to and learning by heart all kinds of rhymes and hymns and ballads, and then went on to make up my own poems, using the forms I’d heard. Writing these down came a little later.

I studied English at the University of York, and after graduation taught English as a foreign language in Finland.

At around this time I began to write the poems which formed my first poetry collection, The Apple Fall,  and to publish these in magazines. I also completed two novels; fortunately neither survives, and it was more than ten years before I wrote another novel.

During this time I published several collections of poems, and wrote some of the short stories which were later collected in Love of Fat Men. I began to travel a great deal within the UK and around the world, for poetry tours and writing residences. This experience of working in many different countries and cultures has been very important to my work. I reviewed poetry for Stand and Poetry Review and later for The Observer, and subsequently reviewed fiction for The Observer, The Times and The Guardian. My critical work includes introductions to the poems of Emily Brontë (Poems of Solitude, Hesperus Press), the short stories of D H Lawrence (The Fox, The Ladybird and the Captain's Doll, Penguin Classics) and F Scott Fitzgerald (The Popular Girl, Hesperus Press) , a new Introduction to A Wreath of Roses by Elizabeth Taylor (VIntage) a study of Virginia Woolf’s relationships with women and  Introductions to the Folio Society's edition of Anna Karenina and to the new Penguin Classics edition of Tolstoy's My Confession.  An essay on Tolstoy was commissioned by radio 3 for the series The Essay, and broadcast in November 2010.  The text of the essay is available in the Articles section of this website.

During the 1980s and early 1990s I taught poetry and creative writing, tutored residential writing courses for the Arvon Foundation and took part in the Poetry Society's Writer in Schools scheme, as well as giving readings and workshops in schools, hospitals, prisons and every other kind of place where a poem could conceivably be welcome. I also taught undergraduate, postgraduate and continuing education courses at the University of Glamorgan, the University of Bristol's Continuing Education Department and for the Open College of the Arts.

In the late 1980s I began to publish short stories, and these were the beginning of a breakthrough into fiction. What I had learned of prose technique through the short story gave me the impetus to start writing novels. My first novel for children was Going to Egypt, published in 1992, and my first novel for adults was Zennor in Darkness, published in 1993, which won the McKitterick Prize. This was also my first researched novel, set in the First World War and dealing with the period when D H Lawrence and his wife Frieda lived in Zennor in Cornwall, and came under suspicion as German spies.

My third novel, A Spell of Winter, won the inaugural Orange Prize for Fiction in 1996, and since then I have published a number of novels, short story collections and books for children. Full details of all these books are available on this website.  The five Chronicles of Ingo (Ingo, The Tide Knot, The Deep, The Crossing of Ingo and Stormswept are published by HarperCollins.  Stormswept, the latest, is published in january 2012.

My seventh novel, The Siege (2001) was shortlisted both for the Whitbread Novel Award and the Orange Prize for Fiction. This was another researched novel, which grew from a lifelong love of Russian history, culture and literature. It is is set in Leningrad during the first year of the siege of the city by German forces, which lasted for 880 days from the fall of Mga on 30th August 1941. The Siege has been translated into Russian by Tatyana Averchina, and extracts have been broadcast on radio in St Petersburg.   House of Orphans was published in 2006, and in 2008  Counting the Stars. Its central characters are the Roman poet Catullus, who lived during the last years of the Republic,  and his older married lover Clodia Metelli, the Lesbia of his poems.

The Betrayal, was published in 2010 by Fig Tree (Penguin).  This novel is set in Leningrad in 1952 - 1953, the final year of Stalin's life.  It takes up the story of characters who first appeared in The Siege.  The Betrayal was longlisted for the 2010 Man Booker Prize and was a Book at Bedtime on BBC Radio 4 in December 2010, read by Sarah Kestelman. For more information about The Betrayal, please see the News section on the Home page.

My first picture book for children, The Ferry Birds, was published in April 2010 by Mabecron Books. This book is illustrated by a brilliant young artist,  Rebecca Cobb.  To see examples of her work, please visit www.rebeccacobb.co.uk  Rebecca Cobb and I  have published two more picture books, The Islanders  ( Mabecron Books, April 2011), and The Lonely Sea Dragon ( Mabecron Books, 2013) .  Rebecca and I are working on a second book about the little sea dragon, which will be published in Spring 2016

 In March 2010 my poem The Malarkey won the National Poetry Competition.  For more information, please follow the link on the Home Page.  This became the title poem of my 2012 collection from Bloodaxe Books,  The Malarkey.

The fifth book in the series Chronicles of Ingo, Stormswept, was published in January 2012.

A novella called The Greatcoat was published by Hammer in February 2012.  This is a ghost story set in East Yorkshire during the Second World War and the early years of the 1950s.  It is a story of obsession and possession, and is about the power of the past to imprint itself on the present, and even to overwhelm it.

My latest novel is The Lie, 2014, published in hardback by Hutchinson and in paperback by Windmill Books.  The Lie is set during and after the First World War.  It has been shortlisted for The Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, and was also nominated for The Folio Prize.

First, Create a Self to Express

The creative product is subordinate to the creative moment, the creative moment is subordinate to the creative process, and the creative process is subordinate to the creative life.

And so, the question becomes, what does the creative life look like?

Howard Gruber asked the same question. He was a pioneer of the psychological study of creativity, most widely known for his books on the development of Darwin’s thinking on evolution. But unlike many of his cognitive contemporaries, he rejected the notion of the elusive eureka moment, that great theories arrive in flashes of insight. “With all due apologies to thunderbolts, he famously said, creative work is not a matter of milliseconds, minutes or even hours, but of months, years and decades.

Gruber presented a gradualistic view of creativity. That the creative individual was someone who acted at all times with knowledge, purpose and affect. Someone whose work flowed out of the world and back into it. In the intriguing book, Notebooks of the Mind, he takes a refreshingly existential and holistic approach to the question of imagination, riffing on what he called the regenerative possibilities of a creative life:

“A creative moment is part of a longer creative process, which in turn is part of a creative life. It’s not a finite system that comes to rest when it has done good work, but one that urges itself onward. It’s not a runaway system that accelerates its activity to the point where it burns itself out in one great flash. The system regulates the activity and the creative acts regenerate the system. The creative life happens in a being that can continue to work.”

Meaning, the job of a creator requires a commitment to a developing and continuing set of unending, interacting, interdependent and mutually modifying long range enterprises. And in order to become prolific in our work, Gruber’s research and case studies suggest a helpful set of attitudes called the evolving systems approach, which must be cultivated.

The approach is developmental, meaning our creative work evolves over long periods of time. The approach is pluralistic, meaning our creative work exploits not one, but many metaphors, relationships and projects. The approach is interactive, meaning our creative work exists within historical, societal and institutional frameworks, always conducted in relation to the work of others. And the approach is experiential, meaning our creative work is the product of our participation in the world’s needs and feelings.

Not just the creative product. Not just the creative moment. Not just the creative process.

The creative life.

Joss Whedon is the poster boy for what the creative life could and should be. As a screenwriter, film and television director, producer, comic book author, cult icon, composer and actor, his contributions to popular culture are innumerable. He’s the premier cult creator. Joss doesn’t just make movies about superheroes, he is a superhero.

What’s more, if you trace the trajectory of his work, it closely corresponds to Gruber’s theory of this evolving systems approach. There’s even a fascinating book called Joss Whedon: A Creative Portrait, which that tracks his entire career arc. Consider these key characteristics of his life:

He was the offspring of two generations of television writers. He was a childhood fanboy of popular culture influences. He had apprenticeships and mentors and experiences creators to channel his curiosities. He valued making and leaving tracks as part and parcel of the process itself. He established social environments and peer groups for nurturing his work. He made grand goals attainable by inventing and pursuing subgoals. He developed an identity as a creative person with a sense of his own specialness. And he had at his disposal a number of modalities of representation.

Is it any surprise he’s so prolific?

And understandably, few of us will ever experience the level of success and influence and significance of Joss Whedon. But his story serves as a template. It’s a modern exemplar of how to build a creative life, from which the creative process, the creative moment and the creative product are natural outpourings.

I struggled with this in the early part of my career. As a writer, I romanticized the notion of constantly disappearing into my work. I coveted the fantasy of locking myself in a room and refusing to come out until the work was done. And so, I seduced myself into thinking that isolation and detachment was necessary to become the artist I wanted to be.

But as my mentor so eloquently reminded me, it’s not enough to write something worth reading, we have to do something worth writing.

Artists need to be interactive, reactive and proactive. Our first responsibility as creators is to be human beings, to be real people, whose unique reservoirs of life experience color the canvas with rich textures. We have to reengage with the world and procure meaning outside of our art, even if that means battling our own antisocial tendencies. Otherwise, we never get out of our own heads. Our perspective remains myopic. And our work lacks the necessary spirit of humanness and ordinariness because we never spend time with other ordinary humans in ordinary places doing ordinary things.

I’m reminded of the classic book Art & Fear, which outlines the daily challenges and doubts, both practical and psychological, in making art. When the book was first published, it quickly became an underground classic. And with the help of massive word of mouth through online communities, it became among the bestselling books on artmaking and creativity.

The authors, two working photographers who grappled daily with the problems of making art in the real world, wrote the following:

“When you are lazy, your art is lazy. When you hold back, it holds back. And when you hesitate, it stands there staring, with hands in its pockets. But when you commit, it comes on like blazes. Your art is not some residue left when you subtract all the things you haven’t done, it is the full payoff for all the things you haven’t done. It’s living your life in a way that your art gets done over and over.”

Ultimately, we can’t self express if we don’t create a self to express.

Art is subordinate to life, not the other way around. If you want to master the creative process, summon the creative moment and ship the creative product, start by living the creative life.

Everything else is secondary.

Algae triggering ALS?
NH researchers part of international effort to uncover link

By Ryan Lessard news@hippopress.com

 William Gilmore, 60, of Rochester was a self-employed carpenter for most of his life. Gilmore built gazebos and decks and rebuilt kitchens. He was also an avid kayaker, scuba diver, surfer, fisher and bicyclist.

“I played just as hard as I worked hard,” Gilmore said.
But, in 2011 he started to notice that his pneumatic tools and saws were getting too heavy for him — a 6’2”, 210-lb., well-built man. His right arm had become weak.
“I thought I had an injury, work- [or] sports-related,” Gilmore said. “I was on my own for about a year just thinking that I could heal my injury and then when I realized there was something more going on with my right side, I went to see the Seacoast Orthopedic Group and they did a bunch of tests.”
At first, Gilmore says, doctors misdiagnosed the problem as something that would require time and physical therapy to overcome. But instead of getting better, his condition worsened. When it began to affect his left side as well in 2014, he went to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston for second opinion. There, he was diagnosed with a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, that he says is different from the fast-acting form that killed Lou Gehrig.
“It’s a slow progression and, for the most part, it stays in the upper body,” Gilmore said.
Today, his wife helps him do basic things.
“My arms don’t work. I can’t lift anything, I can’t hold a pen, I can’t feed myself, can’t wash myself. It’s a pretty nasty setup,” Gilmore said.
He says by 2014, he wouldn’t pick up a full cup of water.
“I couldn’t trust my hands that I wasn’t going to let it fall,” Gilmore said.
And he’s constantly reminded of his loss by the many relics of his bygone days as an active outdoorsman.
“All those things, my kayak, my dive gear, my surfboards, my bicycles, I can’t use any of it anymore,” Gilmore said.
Possible cause
Scientists are finding a mounting body of evidence that Gilmore’s years living and working near coastline and shoreline may be at least one key factor that led to his disease. That’s because several lakes and ponds Gilmore and others have interacted with are often host to cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. The cyanobacteria, in turn, produce a toxin known as BMAA, which recent studies have shown correlates with high rates of ALS when ingested.
Dr. Elijah Stommel, a neurologist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center who works with ALS patients, is one of the first scientists to discover a similar correlation in New Hampshire and the broader New England region.
“Initially it was just an exercise that I wanted some students to do for me, to see where the patients were mapped out,” Stommel said. “We put them on Google Earth just to see where they were.”
What they saw was surprising — clusters of ALS patients around New Hampshire lakes.
“One [cluster] was particularly interesting around Lake Mascoma in Enfield, New Hampshire, where we found a rate of ALS that’s about 40 times higher than expected,” Stommel said. “We’ve since been doing a lot of mapping of ALS patients in northern New England.”
At first, they had no idea why this clustering was taking place, but as they looked closer they noted that clustering was taking place around specific water bodies known to have significant cyanobacterial blooms.
“We’ve since found BMAA in some of these water bodies, so I think there’s a pretty strong link. It doesn’t prove anything,” Stommel said.
He and his team identified patients living in those clusters who had never swum in nor eaten any fish from the lake they lived near. This led them to investigate the possibility that patients had been inhaling cyanobacteria from the air, something that’s possible during its blooming season.
“We set up aerosol collectors, and we’ve actually been able to find cyanobacteria in the filters of these aerosol collectors over a relatively short time, just a few hours,” Stommel said.
They also detected traces of cyanobacteria in patients’ lungs.
Moving forward, Stommel wants to map out patients around Lake Erie, which has been known to suffer severe cyanobacterial blooms, in an effort to get closer to understanding the risk factors involved.
“We’re trying to collaborate with the Cleveland Clinic. They have a big database of ALS patients there, and we’re going to look retrospectively at the patients in that area hopefully and see if there are high rates of ALS there or clusterings of ALS and better define some of these risk factors,” Stommel said.
The science
Still, very little is known about the causes of neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and Alzheimer’s. But research papers related to the environmental links to this disease and others have begun to snowball recently, thanks in part to Stommel’s work.
Just this past January, a study was published showing vervet monkeys who ingested a lifetime’s worth of BMAA grew large “tangles” in the brain consistent with those found in Alzheimer’s patients in a shockingly brief amount of time.
And Stommel said a scientist in France has connected a cluster of ALS patients near Montpellier with oysters and mussels eaten by patients. The shellfish originated in Thau lagoon, a cyanobacterial hotbed.
Cyanobacteria has long been known for its toxins — it produces many, some of which are deadly to humans — but it wasn’t fingered as the source of BMAA until the 1970s.
Prior to that, Army doctors in the 1940s and ’50s had identified BMAA in cycad seeds and bat meat as the cause of the now-famous ALS-like outbreak on the island of Guam during that time.
But there’s still plenty scientists don’t yet understand. Stommel says there may be genetic precursors and it may require a combination of factors not yet understood for a person to contract the neurological disease.
Another thing came out of the monkey tests that may prove helpful: a possible treatment. A batch of vervets that ate the BMAA were also given an amino acid supplement called L-serine. Those monkeys weren’t in nearly as bad shape as those that didn’t receive the supplements. Human trials have already begun for Alzheimer’s patients and the preliminary results are expected by the end of the year.
Which is good news, since cyanobacteria — the more than 2-billion-year-old algae scientists determined last fall lent our planet’s atmosphere its first breeze of oxygen — cannot be easily avoided.
“These bacteria are really found everywhere. They’re really ubiquitous,” Stommel said.

Blog Home  »  Users  »  Dmitri (Report Profile)

Dmitri is a muggle-born wizard. He wields a 12" Willow, Hippogriff Talon wand, and is a member of the unsorted masses of Hogwarts students just off the train eagerly crowding around the Sorting Hat.

About Me
Dmitri was disowned from his family the day he got his letter for Hogwarts, but for more than the reason of him being a freak. Dmitri had told his perfect, tight-nit family that he was #@% moments before the letter flew in through their front door's mail slot. The reaction he got threw him off completely, he thought his parents loved him, no matter what, but instead they left him on the street.
The thought of being a wizard only made Dmitri feel worse. He felt he would be even more left out by people when he went to the stupid school he was called forth to, but he had no where else to go.
When he arrived at the school, he was surprised by the acceptance and hospitality, but still goes at everything with a cautious manner because of his parents harsh nature.

Dmitri has dirty blond hair and blue eyes.

Protein-eriffic (Giveaway!)

UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. To see the winner announcement, please click here!

The following post is sponsored by Pure Protein. I am receiving a stipend for my participation in this campaign, but all content is–as always–100% my own. Check out great ways to Eat Good and Look Great at their website.

So, protein. Admittedly, as a self-professed carb lover (addict?) for, ummmmm, my entire life, protein has never been at the top of my diet priority spectrum. I mean, sure, I always knew it was important in a “duh” kind of way. And, sure, I like to eat steak and chicken and tofu and all that good stuff. But before starting this blog (and my weight loss/health journey in general), I never really gave a lot of consideration to how much protein I was really consuming. Nor did I consider how much I SHOULD be consuming. And even now, two and a half years into my journey, I still struggle. Despite my best efforts to make my plate balanced, I find myself constantly falling back into the pattern of a VERY carb-centric diet. And that certainly isn’t conducive to my weight loss: protein is proven time and time again to be critical for weight loss–helping elongate your periods of satiety, keeping your blood sugar stable, and generally just being a good USE of your calories.

So when the opportunity presented itself to try out some of Pure Protein’s products, I had a kind of curiosity epiphany. After all, I am constantly trying to better my understanding of the nutrients my body needs, as well as what my body responds to, so I figured this would be a good way to test those waters. Now, granted, protein supplements are not, at least in my opinion, a crucially necessary thing to add to your diet. I don’t think anyone is going to make the argument that supplements, shakes, and bars are better than obtaining your macronutrients directly from your food. But there are also plenty of reasons why that’s not always going to happen. For many, it may be as simple as being too busy to think about protein when making dinner, since it’s just faster to make spaghetti. I figured, why not give these things a go and see if they would be a fitting addition to my lifestyle, especially now that I’m getting back into going to CrossFit and upping the fitness ante in general.

Enter the protein supplement. Pure Protein sent me a package including a big ol’ tub of protein powder, a few bars, and some protein shakes as well. So I spent the holiday weekend taste-testing the products and seeing if I felt they helped me stay fuller throughout the day, kept my energy up for working out, and the like. Verdict?

Mixed, definitely mixed. Pretty evenly split, actually, in terms of the good, the bad, and the meh. For the sake of ease, I’ll break this up into reviewing the three different products I was sent.

First up: the protein bars! I was sent both the peanut butter and a chocolate flavors. I actually only ended up trying the peanut butter one, because I felt like the chocolate-chocolate one might end up being a little too close to an actual chocolate bar, and I gave up sweets for Lent. The bars have 20g of protein (!) and 200 calories, and I actually thought it tasted pretty good. Chewier than your average bear bar, but pretty good. I was actually pretty surprised that it only has 2 grams of sugar (although I’m sure it has other non-sugar sweeteners in it). In terms of satiety, the bar definitely filled me up and made it so I didn’t feel like snacking on anything else between meals. I think for someone with a serious grab-and-go lifestyle, this kind of thing could almost work as a breakfast replacement (after all, you’re getting about 20 grams of protein more than you’d find in a pop tart). They’re also gluten-free, if that sort of thing matters to you (obviously it doesn’t for me, haha).

Moving on, let’s talk about the shakes next. Pure Protein’s shakes come in different flavors and different protein amounts. I was sent the 15g of protein shakes in Vanilla Creme, which is actually the lowest protein amount (they also come in 23g and 35g). Soooo, I won’t lie, I really did not like this one. Maybe it was the flavor or the consistency, but I’m pretty sure I actually made a face when I first tasted it. It reminded me of watered down Slim Fast, which has negative connotations for me given how many of those things I drank back when I was in middle school and thought I was too fat (oh, if I’d only known then…!). Maybe this shake would be better in a different flavor, but as I was only given one flavor to sample, that’s all I’ve got. The shake is 170 calories for the whole bottle, and includes the aforementioned 15g of protein, but there’s also a LOT more sugar than in either of the other products (25g!). It was definitely the most disappointing of the three products for me.

However, I have better news when it comes to the protein powder. Now, confession, this is literally the first time I have ever used protein powder before. I’ve seen a lot of other bloggers that use it, and I’ve seen lots of smoothie recipes that include it, but I’ve just never gotten around to trying it for myself. Well, I have to say, I’m pretty pleased with my first experience! Pure Protein sent me a big ol’ honkin’ thing of Whey Protein Powder, also in Vanilla Creme. Thankfully, I enjoyed the flavor MUCH better this time (possibly because there were other flavors involved). I made myself a smoothie that included a banana, almondmilk, ice, and half a scoop of the powder, and it was really good! If I’d had some spinach laying around, I would have totally turned the thing into a green smoothie.

The protein powder is 150 calories for a full scoop, with only 2g of sugar, and adds 25g of protein to whatever you put it in. So, with my half-scoop, I ended up with a 75 calorie, 1g of sugar addition to my smoothie, which was about 120 calories with the banana and almondmilk on their own. I can definitely see myself utilizing it to add extra protein to smoothies, which I tend not to make a lot in the past because I don’t find them filling enough to warrant the A) calories or B) time spent cleaning my blender. But this concoction absolutely worked for me as a breakfast smoothie.

So, my feelings overall on the products? The powder itself is probably the only one of the three I can see myself adopting into my lifestyle, since I really enjoyed both the flavor it added to my smoothie, and the flexible utility of it. I also really like the suggestions on the back of the tub for how to use the powder other than in smoothies. They suggest adding it to oatmeal or pancake mix, and since you know I’m all about finding ways to boost the nutritional impact of foods that are otherwise not super-nutritious, I think those are both great ideas.

As for the other products, you already know how I felt about the pre-made shakes (read: not good), but depending on how much convenience food you eat anyway, or if you have a specific reason to really amp up your protein intake (are working out heavily, weight lifting, etc), I can see how the bars could be a viable option for some. And Pure Protein does produce “natural” versions of all their products, if all the fakey ingredients are a problem for you. But why take my word for all of this, when you can form your own opinion? I have a Pure Protein prize pack to giveaway to one of you, which includes several full-sized versions of all the products mentioned in this post!

To enter, simply leave a comment on this post answering the question: What role does protein play in your life? Is it something you already take care of, something you know you should have more of? Do you find it difficult to get the required amount of protein in your diet? I’d really love to know where everyone else stands!

As always, extra entries are granted for those who follow me on Twitter, Like me on Facebook, or blog/Facebook/tweet about this giveaway! Just make sure you leave separate comments for each thing you do to ensure your extra entries are all counted. The random winner will be selected on Monday, February 25th!

  1. I’m in the same boat as you- I’m a carb lover who could (and has) happily eat nothing but bananas, pasta, and bread all day. I started weight lifting about a year ago to lose weight, and realized I needed to increase my pathetic protein intake.

    I’m eating more chicken, eggs, tofu, greek yogurt, etc. But protein powder has really helped me as well! I primarily use protein powder for a quick protein fix right after a workout. I put a scoop into blender bottle and drink it on the way home from the gym, following a strength training session. I’ve heard that the 30 or so minutes right after a strength workout are crucial for getting protein into your body, and it’s a heck of a lot easier than bringing chicken or even yogurt to the gym.

    I also love to mix protein powder into oatmeal at breakfast. A half scoop plus some peanut butter added to plain oats makes for a very filling breakfast.

    I’ve only tried a few brands/flavors but so far my favorite is optimum nutrition in mocha cappuccino. I’d love to try this brand!

  2. I also just followed you on twitter!

  3. i’ve been making a concerted effort at adding more protein to my daily intake. i’ve actually started eating Luna protein bars for breakfast, the choco mint and cookie dough are pretty great!

  4. I’m protein obsessed! I get it from my mom. When we were kids and said we were hungry, she always asked us what kind of protein we wanted. It was an easy transition to thinking about protein in a weight loss frame of mind!

  5. I always try and eat some sort of protein with every meal and snack, but it takes a lot of planning. I usually aim for about 90-100 g of protein a day on a 1200-1300 calorie diet. It’s tough!

    The weekends are a struggle for me. I try to get in protein, but I don’t stress about it since I don’t plan my meals or snacks on the weekends usually. It all evens out 🙂

  6. Protein is hard for me to get in, too, so I actually use protein supplements quite a bit and would love to try these. I recommend adding some of the powder to oatmeal. The taste blends in well and it gives my breakfast some extra oomph!

  7. I also like you on Facebook!

  8. So I actually think those PureProtein bars are wayy too thick and heavy! However, I am training for the Boston marathon right now and I’m trying to incorporate more protein into my diet, since I rarely eat meat. I’d be willing to try them again, and would LOVE to try the protein powder.

  9. Protein plays a support role in my life. Like you, I am very carb-centric but I try to make sure that I have protein included in various ways. I think that breakfast is the hardest place to get protein on average. Lately, I’ve been opting for the Special K Protein + cereal and that seems to help. For snacks, I have been steering towards almonds and a banana in the morning and pistachios with a clementine (or two) in the afternoon. Lunch and Dinner always have meat involved, so I’m not sure that protein is a problem there, but carbs are definitely still the star.

    As far as cleaning your blender goes, just put in some hot water and a drop of soap, put the lid back on and pulse it for a few. Then rinse it out and you’re good to go. We frequently have smoothies in our house and I’ve found that’s the easiest way to clean under the blades and make sure it’s spotless.

  10. Working out in the military is key. Not only do we work out right, we eat right as well. To enhance our gains, there is a huge consumption of protein, but not in a bar format, more in the protein shakes. Replace your snack with bars on the go and soldiers are set.

    Would love to provide my guys with protein bars to snack on while on missions!

  11. Like you, I have just started to get into protein powder. I am really liking it because as you said, it really pumps up smoothies to make them a more viable meal option. I also really like it on its own (mixed w just water) as a post-workout pick me up!

  12. I find that I have to think about how much protein I am getting!

  13. I already Liked you on FB!

  14. Oh, protein! I track all of my food on Sparkpeople and protein is one of the things that I make sure to get enough of each day. I make a point of having protein in each meal, whether it be greek yogurt, veggie burgers, and even a cheese stick to balance everything out. I know that protein will be much more satisfying that a whole sleeve of crackers…not that it stops me from eating the crackers!

  15. What role does protein play in my life? ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO OPEN THIS CAN OF WORMS, GRETCHEN?

    Needless to say, my ten years of vegetarianism made me pretty neurotic about protein; supplements like these popped up often in my diet, but I always felt guilty and unnatural about them–a high-fat, high-carb shake or bar wasn’t exactly the best way to balance the three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I ate that day.

    Since I’ve hopped back on the poultry bandwagon, my relationship with protein has become a lot less terrifying. I’m getting the animal protein my body craves for energy, and (as evidenced from http://armypantsandflipflops.com/2012/09/17/nothing-says-happy-birthday-like-baby-wipes-and-brownies/) I like to play around with protein powder when sending my deployed husband-to-be baked goods. Jonathan is a protein supplement fiend.

    On days when my meals are largely made of spinach or if I’ve been hitting the gym a lot during the week, I often use a protein shake for a meal supplement. My current favorite is vanilla soy milk with banana, a tablespoon of flavored Greek yogurt, cinnamon, (ice), and protein powder (I’ve only got chocolate now, but would way prefer vanilla SO I NEED TO WIN THIS).

  16. I like your face on Facebook.

  17. @Army_Pants enjoys your schnauzer pics on Twitter.

  18. I use protein powder at least once a day! I love using it in smoothies and am starting to branch out to use it in other ways too – like I made some homemade lara bars with protein and I saw a blogger who used it in hot cocoa so I had to try that too. I would really like to try baking with it but I’m a little intimidated.

  19. i have to make a conscious effort to get enough protein each day!

  20. i like to add protein powder to smoothies because it keeps me fuller longer–as a law student, sometimes i have to go hours in between meals if i get in a studying groove!

  21. I love carbs! lol But I make a concerted effort to get protein into my diet, especially after working out. I love using protein powder in smoothies, but I haven’t bought any in a very long time.

  22. Since I started lifting heavier weights and taking Crossfit, I have also tried to incorporate more protein. Small steps at first – greek yogurt, eating more meat (not a huge fan), eating beans…but have now started thinking of a protein supplement. I have tried some protein drinks for after workouts and it seems ok…would be curious to try these out!

  23. I know I feel best when I am getting in enough protein, especially since I have started lifting more! It is something I am constantly monitoring. I used to eat mostly vegetarian and ALWAYS struggled to meet the minimum recommendation for myself. Now I am eating more paleo-style, and still can be on the lower end of the spectrum. I guess I just love vegetables too much, need to make a little more room for protein! I’d love to give these products a try. I love how low in sugar the bar and powder are!

  24. My husband always makes fun of me because I freak out whenever something doesn’t have “enough” protein in it. So if someone offers me just a pastry for breakfast, my first thought is, “WHERE’S THE PROTEIN?!?! HOW WILL I STAY FULL?!?!” So, yeah, obviously I’m a freak about it and try to make sure I have an adequate amount in every meal to stay full! I feel like I do get an adequate amount, and I try to eat protein from non-meat sources too, like tofu, beans, quinoa, eggs, etc.

  25. Following you on Twitter!

  26. Also, I liked you on Facebook!

  27. Ooh, me, me!

    I’m still working on finding a good balance re: getting enough protein but not too many delicious, delicious carbs. I was a vegetarian for a long time and ate a LOT of beans, lentils, etc. I still do, actually! But since I started doing more weights-oriented stuff in the gym, I’m definitely thinking about protein more. After a hard workout, I want to go home, eat a steak, and go to bed.

    I don’t, but I want to!

  28. I definitely should be adding more protein into my diet or at least some with every meal. I enjoy adding protein powder to my smoothies, but it can be expensive and I’m not really sure what I should look for in a powder.

  29. Sooo I am doing this thing called the Velocity Diet 3.0. For a month, you eat 5 protein shakes a day, replacing every meal. For those first 4 weeks you can replace one shake per week with a Healthy solid meal (chicken/fish, veggies, etc). You also weight train 4 times a week at pretty intense intervals and walk 3-4 miles a day. Weeks 5 and 6 you slowly wean yourself off the shakes for every meal. I am over halfway through and down over 10 lbs and many inches.

    But seriously, the thought of having to choke down another protein shake in the next hour makes me shudder!

    So, what role does protein play in my life? Well, it is literally keeping me alive for the month of February!

  30. You are already liked on Facebook, and your book rocks so far!

  31. I don’t think I get enough protein and have been trying to up my intake of fish, lean meats, nonfat yogurt, etc., to try to get more. I even tried sardines, and the verdict: not in love. I’ve also incorporated some protein powder in smoothies and the like in the past, but haven’t found one that I’m crazy about, and I worry about the sugar and chemicals in some of those.

  32. I like to mix up my protein sources, alternating vegan and whey… The pure protein brand is DELICIOUS!!

  33. I try to eat protein with every meal & snack but it is not easy!

  34. I follow you on FB

  35. I also follow you on Twitter!

  36. I absolutely love carbs, but I don’t love the blood sugar swings that they come with. I’m also hungry often so I do make it a priority to get some protein in with each meal. I have eggs, nuts, chicken for the most part. My biggest struggle is resisting the free food they have at college, which tends to be nutritionally void.

  37. I follow you on Facebook

  38. Bah! I am TERRIBLE at getting enough protein, which is terrible for a runner! But surprisingly, my favorite ways to get protein don’t come from meat products. I am a huge, HUGE lover of eggs, almonds, edamame and beans. Seriously, if I didn’t love cheeseburgers so much, I could totes be a vegetarian. I’m consciously trying to incorporate more protein into ALL of my meals, so this week I’ve been making hummus wraps with cheese, hard-boiled egg and chia seeds.

    Thanks for the opportunity to enter! 🙂

  39. Like you – I’m a total carbaholic. I have to really work to get my protein intake up.

  40. It is definetly something I know I need to get more of because towards the end of my workout I am starving. I am currently trying new ways to incorporate more protein into my diet.

  41. Still “like” you on FB.

  42. Followed you on Twitter! (@kirstinstone)

  43. Always trying to get more protein in my diet. I actually use Click, which is an espresso chocolate flavored protein mix. Very yummy!

  44. Protein is big for me, mostly because I know it helps with hunger. I always try to make sure I have some kind of protein with meals and snacks. Even if I’m doing oatmeal in the morning, I will whisk in egg whites. I’ve been toying with adding protein powder but don’t want to spend $$ if I don’t like it.

  45. I pay attention to the protein I eat and try to eat more when I am working out. Otherwise, I would just enjoy a carb-fest. 🙂

  46. Coincidentally, I am considering barbaric surgery so shakes such as these will be my main source of protein in the first couple of weeks!

  47. I love protein smoothies for breakfast, and in general try to up my protein at every meal

  48. I follow you on twitter

  49. I usually get enough protein in my daily diet, but have always wondered about the powder. I’d be interested in trying it.

  50. It’s something that I’m working at to try and ensure I get enough of… but it’s definitely tricky!

  51. Trying to incorporate more in my diet, other than a piece of chicken at dinner. Greek yogurts & The Biggest Loser vanilla protein powder is something new I’m trying.

  52. I don’t eat red meat, so getting protein in my daily diet is very important and I often look for other (non-meat) ways. These bars and shakes seem like a great alternative.

  53. I follow you on Twitter!

  54. I am a fan on Facebook.

  55. I have been trying to up my protein with each meal. smoothies with protein poweder, frozen blueberries, yogurt, and spinach. yum

  56. I absolutely LOVE Pure Protein!!! I actually like their shakes. I have the 23g of protein ones as a dinner when i get home late from working out. I’d love to try their other products that I haven’t yet! I think protein pays a HUGE role as far as building muscle and keeping yourself full!

  57. I try to make sure to incorporate protein into every meal. I have definitely become more protein conscious over the last year or so!

  58. I find the protein helps me a lot not just in terms of dieting, but in my mood. Even if I’ve theoretically eaten enough in one day, and even if I’m not feeling especially hungry, I sometimes notice that I feel very…squeezed. Tired and stressed and mopey without real reason. Usually if I have some protein (especially something salty–sugar-free peanut butter with an extra sprinkle of salt on top?) then my energy bounces back!

  59. Protein is very important in my trying to lose weight because I actually get really headachey when I’m watching my calories, if I don’t eat enough protein.

    I am seriously off the diet wagon, in a bad way, and I could really use the help in getting back on track.

  60. Like you on Facebook, btw. 🙂

  61. I currently get a decent amount, but I should definitely try to get more protein – I find myself making spaghetti or other time-saving meals that don’t require the extra effort of grilling/cooking some sort of meat when I’m in a hurry or feeling lazy. Protein powder would be awesome!

  62. I think I usually end up at the low end of the recommended daily intake of protein. I have experimented with some protein bars and powders intermittently in the past, with not great results…sometimes the taste just can’t be overcome. Never tried Pure Protein though.

  63. Twitter follower!

  64. After going GF last year (I had a lot of inflammation in my colon and this seemed to do the trick!) I’ve been a lot better about eating protein, especially since wheat was such a large part of my diet and I was feeling hungry all the time without it! I get protein from “natural” sources, like eggs/fish/lean meats, but I also like having smoothies with an protein boost post-workout. I’ve been wanting to try out some whey protein powder but haven’t wanted to invest just yet!

  65. Protein is a toughie for me. I struggle with maintaining my weight and the second I start to skimp on protein and lean in the direction of (evil but wonderful) carbs I start packin on the lbs. But man, the choices are pretty limited sometimes (eggs, AHGAIN?). So I find that protein powder can really help mix things up when added to different stuff. I have yet to find a “favorite” so I’d love to try Pure Protein 🙂

  66. Following you on Twitter as well now!!

  67. I would probably use the bars more than the other products. Easy to put in my purse for emergencies.

  68. protein LOVER! love a good shake after a workout!

  69. Protein is something I’m always conscious of. If I’m trying to lose a few pounds, I always up my protein which helps me feel full and keeps me from snacking at night. Works everytime! Not always easy as sometimes I just want a bowl of oatmeal vs eggs but I know it’ll make me feel better all day.

  70. Following you on twitter @danielleaw1

  71. I find protein is the focus of most meals. Eggs for breakfast, chicken topped salad for lunch, steak n veg for dinner. Protein is the best!

  72. I recently starting trying to get more protein in my diet, but am finding it challenging since I live in a co-op on my university campus. I also started making green smoothies recently and would love to try out the protein powder to boost the nutrient content.

  73. I already like you on Facebook!

  74. What a fun giveaway, I had no idea the bars were gluten free or I would have tried them earlier. I incorporate a lot of protein every day (or I try to!) I love to incorporate some type of fish protein every day, whether it is smoked clams (a current favorite), smoked trout (another perpetual favorite) or even sardines (I will absolutely admit that…) I also try and have a smoothie on the weekend when I have more time, I love to make them milk shake consistency and delicious!

  75. I try to get my protein in because it makes me feel fuller and more satisfied than if I eat something carb-heavy.

  76. Wow! Great giveaway and it made me really think about what I need and what I eat. I hadn’t even really considered it before – i had used some protein powder in smoothies, but didn’t even know how much I was getting/needed. So apparently according to a calculator I found online, I should get 64-120g a day. I checked on myfitnesspal, and it looks like most days I get the 64, but I could definitely stand to up the amount a bit! Thanks for hosting!

  77. Follow on Twitter!

  78. I follow on facebook!

  79. Protein keeps me full for so long! I don’t take many supplements with it because I can usually get enough in with my diet…but these products seem like a great addition to my eating plan!

  80. I’ve always tried to find ways to sneak protein into my diet with greek yogurt, beans, and random nibbles of chicken through out the day. I still haven’t tried powders yet but maybe a smoothie with protein power would keep me full longer!

  81. I am trying (at the request of my trainer) to incorporate more protein into my diet instead of carbs. I would love to give these a try!

  82. I am actually trying hard to gain some more muscle so I am trying very hard to increase my protein intake….but I don’t really eat a lot of meat. I tried a protein powder before but didn’t really dig the chalky flavor – maybe this brand would be better!

  83. Sigh, protein…love it! I always make sure to have high-protein snacks in the afternoon because that keeps me getting a midday slump. I’m eating Paleo right now, so protein is a huge part of my diet.

  84. I definitely struggle to get enough protein, especially on the days that I use weights with exercise. I get bored with chicken and tuna and often crave sweets. A protein powder or bar that tastes like chocolate or vanilla would easily help me up my protein intake, especially when my junk food craving hits late at night haha. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  85. I like you on facebook (Jordan Dunne)

  86. I already follow you on Twitter! 🙂

  87. And I just liked your facebook page! Whee!

  88. I follow you on twitter, too!

  89. Protein is SUPER IMPORTANT to me! I eat some with every meal/snack and need to use powder supplements daily to get what I need in each day. I’ve tried lots of powders but not Pure Protein- thanks for the giveaway!

  90. I like you on FB, Jesse Boelk

  91. I follow you on twitter @jessebfit

  92. Ah, protein! I try to eat as much as a can during the day but I find that I can only church up chicken so much! I totally rely on powders to give me the protein I need and the sweetness I crave! I notice if I don’t get enough protein I start craving other foods that I don’t need (crackers, starchy foods).

  93. I follow you on twitter @lynnlynnbobin

  94. I like you on FB too 🙂

  95. I feel that I get enough protein in my diet. I use Whey protein in my smoothies quite a bit!

  96. I liked you on FB

  97. I take care of my protein intake by cooking big batches of chicken, hardboiled eggs etc so I can have easy access to it. I know how important it is for me to get enough and when I don’t I can sure feel it! I love using powders too because then I can have lots of “chocolate” hehe 😉

  98. I follow you on twitter @amylynnbee22

  99. I like you on FB too Amy Lynn

  100. Something I need to get more of, but getting better

  101. I have very little issue getting enough protein, mostly because I love greek yogurt, protein bars, etc. so much and reach to them often for on-the-go snacking. However, while the sheer amount of protein I get is enough, I do worry about getting in the right types to ensure I am getting “complete” protein as they say (the right balance of amino acids), so I’ve been trying a lot harder recently to up my intake of whole grains that have naturally complete protein!

  102. I’ve recently become addicted to in-shell peanuts. Cracking them open to find the delish protein-packed snacks inside is really kind of satisfying, and because they’re labor intensive, I tend to stick to the portion size more easily than scooping up a handful of shelled peanuts.

  103. I’m trying to add in more protein, especially after working out!

  104. I try to eat as much protein possible but I don’t really like meat so I normally fall short.

  105. I follow you on Twitter as well!

  106. Protein is a huge part of my life now! I make sure to have protein everyday now, I love to have a shake or protein bar after I workout, it always makes me feel more energized!!

  107. I follow on twitter – @steffie516

  108. i liked on facebook – ann lyfe

  109. I follow you on Twitter!

  110. My favorite way to get protein is by eating Greek yogurt for breakfast every day! I also sometimes have it with lunch and dinner. Can’t get enough 🙂

New Session Lindy Hop/Swing Classes in Newton and Boston

Our new 6 week session of Lindy Hop classes started last Sunday and Monday, and as always, it is still possible to join in the 2nd week. Classes for this session include Beginner Swing/Intro to Lindy Hop Level 1 and Lindy Hop Level 2. These classes are offered both on Sunday evenings at the Newton Lower Falls Community Center and on Monday evenings at the Ruggles Baptist Church in Boston.
Also on Sunday in Newton, we have a new class for intermediate to advanced called Frankie’s Favorites, dedicated to the wonderful Frankie Manning. Everyone got into the spirit at the first class and we are really looking forward to a fun session!

Classes were fairly balanced for the most part, but it would be great to get some more leaders for Level 1 in both locations and maybe a couple of followers for the Frankie’s Favorites classes. Just get in touch if you have questions about any of the classes.

Full information, on-line registration and directions are available at:

Genealogy Blog Party --Stories of Love: Ethel Was Sweet On Harold

If you are not familiar with the Genealogy Blog Party hosted by Elizabeth O'Neal on her blog My Descendant's Ancestors, be sure to check it here.

This month's theme: TELL A STORY OF LOVE

I believe this picture fits the bill.

Here's a picture of my paternal grandfather Harold Murrell Sr. looking particularly dapper. It's from a collection of photos I recently inherited from my father.

I think the the story of love you will find on the back.

Gee,  It's grand to be loved by a person like Harold. He's my weakness and I  am not ashamed to confess  that I am madly in love with him.

My grandmother Ethel Smith Murrell was the author of these words. I believe this picture was taken when my grandparents were courting.  Now, how sweet is that!
You can read more about my paternal grandparents Harold and Ethel Murrell here.

The Book of Me 2018 Editon: What Do You Dislike?

For more information about The Book Of Me, Written By You project created by Julie Goucher of the Anglers Rest blog, please clickhere.

I dislike it when folks give up on themselves. When they give up on trying to learn new things. I think it is our duty to keep pushing ourselves for as long as we can in life. It's never to late to learn something new. The brain is a muscle too. If you don't exercise it, it will go soft.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures.

All I can say is that I've been going through some pictures. So many pictures. I've inherited pictures from dad and his parents and I have to say it's been beautiful going down memory lane. Some of the images I'd never seen before, so of course that's spawned questions. For the most part, though it has made me happy to travel back in time to my grandparents house. The pictures are bit mixed up so I'm just going to scan some and then post them here.

This first batch of pictures is of my brother's first Christmas.

52 Ancestors In 52 Weeks 2018 Edition: #6 Favorite Name --Frederica Augusta

If you are not familiar with the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Blog Prompt Series hosted by fellow blogger Amy Johnson Crow, please take a moment and check out the link here:

Week 6 Prompt:
Favorite name could be a name of an ancestor that makes you smile. Perhaps it's an unusual name.

According to Wikipedia, the name Frederica is the feminine form of the name Frederick with it's meaning being "peaceful ruler."

After looking at the website Babyname wizard, I learned that the name Augusta comes from Latin and is the feminine form of the name Augustus. It's meaning is great or venerable.
That's a pretty good combination if I ever heard one.
My paternal great grandmother's name was Frederica Augusta Inniss Murrell
I decided to go a step further to check into the meaning of the surnames Inniss and Murrell.
The meanings for these surnames I found on the website House of Names.
Inniss:  Inniss is an ancient Anglo-S…

Dad's 1st Grade Class

Will you take a look at this bright eyed young man.

My Dad.
Can you say adorable!
PS 124 Class 1-7 Bronx, NY

I've started scanning a ton of pictures that were my dad's. It's strange saying "were." It's part of the new normal I guess.Well anyway, here's one of Harold E. Murrell's first grade class. He went to PS 124 in the Bronx. Here it is on Google Maps.
Image courtesy of Google Maps.
At the time, my dad was living at 970 Tinton Ave in the Bronx. You can see from the map that the school was just a couple of blocks away from his home.

I Love NY Cup 2018

I am so incredibly proud of these girls. They work so hard every week. Congratulations going out to STGA Level 3 Gymnasts on your 1st place finish at the 2018 I Love NY Cup!

As for this young lady, she had a real solid performance. She even placed 3rd place in the floor exercise.

She scored a 9.0 here
Her bars score was an 8.550.

She received an 8.7 on beam and an 8.550 on vault. Her all around score was a 34.800. Way to go, ladybug :)

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2018 Edition: Week# 5 --Harold Berel? Really! No Really?!!

If you are not familiar with the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks Blog Prompt Series hosted by fellow blogger Amy Johnson Crow, please take a moment and check out the link here:

The Week 5 Prompt

The Week 5 prompt is "In the Census." What intriguing find have you made in a census? What has a series of census records shown you? Do you have an ancestor who constantly ages only 7 years between censuses? (Those are fun!)

Since my father's recent passing, I've fallen behind a bit on these prompts so I'm going to do the best I can to get caught up as quickly as possible. The following post originally appeared on this blog on May 16, 2014. It seemed appropriate to re-share since it fit this prompt so well.

This post originally appeared on this blog on May 16, 2014

Okay, I have been all over the place lately with my research, finding a new nugget here and then finding a new nugget there. I am seriously in the throws of a Gene…

"I finally got my boy back." I bet that's what grandpa said to my dad on January 31, 2018. It must have been one heck of a reunion.

Harold Murrell Sr. and Jr.
I didn't have the words until now to write about the events of the last month. I'm still processing and taking it day by day.
Rest in peace, Dad.

Identifying Structural Breaks in Cointegrated Vector Autoregressive Models (2010)

posted Apr 23, 2010, 5:54 AM by Håvard Hungnes   [ updated Apr 28, 2010, 5:28 AM ]
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics (2010), forthcomming. DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-0084.2010.00586.x

Abstract: This article suggests an alternative formulation of the cointegratedVector autoregressive (VAR) model such that the coefficients for the deterministic terms have straightforward interpretations. These coefficients can be interpreted as growth rates and cointegration mean level coefficients and express long-run properties of the model. For example, the growth rate coefficients tell us how much to expect (unconditionally) the variables in the system to grow from one period to the next, representing the underlying (steady state) growth in the variables. The estimation of the proposed formulation is made operationally in GRaM, which is a program for Ox Professional. GRaM can be used for analysing structural breaks when the deterministic terms include shift dummies and broken trends. By applying a formulation with interpretable deterministic components, different types of structural breaks can be identified. Shifts in both intercepts and growth rates, or combinations of these, can be tested for. The ability to distinguish between different types of structural breaks makes the procedure superior compared with alternative procedures. Furthermore, the procedure utilizes the information more efficiently than alternative procedures. Finally, interpretable coefficients of different types of structural breaks can be identified.

Security vetting is a process by which the ICAC undertakes background checks to assess a person's suitability for employment. The vetting process applies to prospective officers of the Commission, and includes persons who are permanent, temporary, seconded, contracted or consultants, as well as companies. The aim of vetting is to:

• confirm your identification
• look at whether any association you have gives rise to a conflict of interest
• ascertain whether there are any vulnerable aspects of your life to which improper pressure could be applied.

The security vetting package is a booklet of forms requiring details including:

• personal particulars
• statement of financial interests
• statutory declarations
• conflicts of interest
• table of associations.

If you are notified following interview that you are a preferred applicant, the vetting package will be provided to you and must be completed, signed and returned to the Commission for the vetting process to commence.

What is a conflict of interest?

A conflict of interest may arise from encountering information about somebody or something in which a person has a personal interest. It may be about somebody whom they know or about a company/activity with which they have a direct involvement or financial interest in.  If a person continued to work on the information without declaring their interest/association, questions may arise as to the appropriateness and objectivity of their actions. Therefore, a person coming across such information would need to bring it to the attention of the Commission and provide details about their association and involvement. An independent decision would then be made as to whether it represented a conflict of interest.

Does a criminal conviction rule me out?

No. Whether or not you (or others with whom you associate) have a criminal conviction does not mean that you cannot work at the ICAC.  The Commission's vetting is based on the person being vetted demonstrating that they are honest and trustworthy. All matters are looked at on a case-by-case basis and an assessment of the person's suitability is based on all information at hand; everything is taken into consideration.

Privacy, GIPA Act, EEO and anti-discrimination laws

The Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998, the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 ("the GIPA Act"), anti-discrimination laws and equal employment opportunity principles are observed and applied during the vetting process.

Who has access to my vetting information?

Your vetting information is used purely for the Commission's vetting purposes and is strictly confidential. It can only be viewed or disclosed on a "need to know" basis. This means that your vetting information is only available to a small number of ICAC staff whose official duties include performing vetting functions. The information is stored in an appropriate security container and access to the documents is strictly controlled.
