10 Tips on Creating a Successful Blog

Tuesday, April 29, 2014

Since I have a blog, I get this question ALL of the time...How do I create a blog? DISCLAIMER: Let me first say that I am NOT an expert in this area. I do not know any techy stuff...I can't train you on SEO. ALL I KNOW IS...I have a blog, I love sharing tips & my journey. Anything I want to know or learn about regarding blogs, I will just Google. I cannot tell you how to get the fun icons on your blog- even the stuff I have done on mine...I can't remember how I did it! LOL I Googled it, followed instructions & instantly forgot it all. With that being said, this can be a really fun creative outlet for you! Have fun with it and always be willing to learn and play around with your blog. I've change the design on mine...50,000 times. Ok back on topic.... WHY BLOG?
Think of your blog or website as an unpaid salesperson working for you 24/7!
It’s a way for you to make a deeper connections with your customer and showcase...you! Your talents, struggles, personality and successes! You are really marketing and branding yourself!

What are some unique qualities about you? Are you a good listener? and you bold, honest and upfront and don’t sugar coat anything? Are you funny? Are you a mom trying a set a good example for your children and family? Do you struggle with temptations and staying out of the cookie jar? YOU have the answers that people JUST like you are searching for. Don’t be selfish hehe Share! Don’t EVER undervalue your uniqueness! Don’t ever think that no one wants to hear your story. They do!

You want to CONNECT with your customers- let them know they came to the right place and you can help them!

How to get started:
You can create an account on blogger.com or wordpress.org whichever you are more comfortable with. Wordpress.org allows you to do a little more with your site (and I believe shows up in the search engines more?) Either way, there are TONS of free trainings on how to work them and get started. Check the websites or youtube! Google it!

10 Tips on Creating a Successful Blog

Tip #1 Be yourself!
Always be YOU! People are very intuitive. You want to make sure you relay your distinct voice and tone! What makes you you! Always add your personality to everything you do! They can tell if you are BSing them or just writing boring facts about Shakeology.  Facts TELL, stories sell! Share with your readers (aka your new friends) your story- why you got into Beachbody and business! What is your bigger vision? What makes you better, different or more awesome than other fitness coaches? Be real, genuine and authentic. Let people get to know YOU. Tell them what your believe in! They will relate to you on a deeper level.You will attract the type of coaches and customers you work best with which will benefit your sanity and business!

Tip #2 Identify your Market
Who do you want to talk to or reach? Without identifying your ideal customer, your marketing will be generic and ineffective!  By identifying your ideal target, you will start attracting people who relate to you & who are perfect for you! You’ll convert more and work will be FUN! You’ll find that your marketing is more effective because you have clarity about who you are talking to which means you can make a deeper connection!

You want to find your niche but really dial in and dig deep until you have ONE specific person in mind.  You need to understand what is going on in their head- understand their heart, emotion, and fears if you want to connect effectively.  See life through their eyes- get in their shoes and learn to think like them.
To start the process, talk to your customers and really LISTEN. Learn more about them- take the time to get to know them.
When they see that you understand their desires and have a vision for them, it will develop a deep trust and they will see that you can help them reach their goals. By showing them that you understand what they are going thru, they can really see how Beachbody products can be the solution for them as well! What building that deep trust means for you....sales, repeat customers and a successful business.

So how to identify your Market?

Think about what they all have in common. Think of every trait! demographic - age, income, gender, marital status, job, etc. What are their values, beliefs, lifestyle, hobbies, interests, etc?

Roll these traits into ONE person- think about that person’s life. What tv shows, magazines, books do they like? What is their guilty pleasure? favorite food?
What do they think about themselves? What do they fear? worry about? What are their dreams? what would thrill them?
Now think about how they view the world. How do they feel about Beachbody? or what you have to offer?
Always speak to THIS person when you are blogging!

Tip #3 Offer VALUABLE content!
Offer people interesting information and good solid content that people WANT to read! Start with your story! But you should always be learning about your niche! Share that information and what it means to you in your life!

Tip #4 Consistency!
Be reliable! Set a realistic goal for how often you are going to blog- then stick with it! Once you get followers, they will learn your blogging pattern and look forward to your posts. If you are sporadic, they will lose interest and most likely stop checking back! People want to know how often they should check your blog!
If the inspiration strikes you and you have 5 blog posts ready to go, don’t post all at once! Post one then schedule the rest to post according to your normal posting schedule. Another tip is to make an editorial calandar- schedule the posts you are going to write about ahead of time.
Don’t be disheartened in the beginning, if you’re not getting very many hits. It takes about 6 months to build a good following. This can be challenging- don’t lt that be an excuse!!! We all started from zero at one point! You CAN figure it out! Blogging is a marathon, not a sprint

Tip #5 Running Idea List
Use Evernote, google docs or word to keep a list of blog post ideas. Ever run out of inspiration? Keep a list of ideas on hand so you can stay consistent with your posts. Any time a customer asks you a question, thats a great topic to your list!
Still need inspiration? Search sites like Delicious, redd it, StumbleUpon or blovloving!

Tip #6 Link All social media and Remind Customers to bookmark or follow your blog
Make it EASY for people to contact and connect with you! You can add social media buttons for your facebook, twitter, youtube, etc....Always remind them at the end of a post- if they like what they see...make sure they bookmark or follow you for more!

Tip #7 Get the word out! Cross Promote!
How are people going to find you? Do a little research on SEO! That’s going to help your blog come up more often when people search topics that you cover. If you are posting valuable content, this shouldnt be a problem. You always want to plug your blog into sites like Stumble Upon, blog loving, etc.....and share blog links with your Facebook and twitter fans. Add your blog link to your youtube videos. Make posts that people WANT to read and they will share your blog!

Tip #8 Google is your friend!!
Google knows all! If you want to learn how to do something, ask google!!! It’s easier for google to explain it!

Tip #9 Keep it Simple
Keep your design simple and easy to navigate. Check out popular blogs for design ideas. Don’t get widget happy!

Tip #10 Be flexible, always be learning
I don’t think I need to tell you how fast technology changes! Always keep your eyes peeled for new training, don’t be afriad to try something new or different. Experiment and have fun with it!

Just get started! The only way to get better is to practice!

Going after goals can be SCARY!
Whether you are trying to lose weight...building a business...trying something new...working on your relationships...
It can de challenging...but remember...the biggest challenge is erasing SELF DOUBT. That nasty little thing that holds us back!
What we say to ourselves and what we believe becomes our reality. The first step to success is to truly believe in ourselves!
You can still be a "positive person" who has negative beliefs. If your inner voice is feeding you doubt...even the most optimistic person can fall short of their goals.
Big Dreams require BELIEF!! Belief in yourself: I CAN DO THIS! I WILL do this. I am smart. I am successful. I am deserving. I am kind. I am lovable. I am unstoppable. I can. I will.
Erase self doubt! You are amazing & you've got this!!
When you get frustrated, just take a deep breath, and repeat after me: " I can do this"

Beachbody Coaching

Tuesday, April 22, 2014

Ok I know I have been posting A LOT about the coaching side of Beachbody...but I can't begin to explain how incredible it's been for me
Yesterday, in the spirit of gratitude...I was thinking about how much my life has changed in the last 3 years and WHY I love being a coach SO much!
So many blessings but without a doubt the #1 reason I built this business was for FREEDOM!!

Coming from retail management, I'm a little traumatized by the alarm clock. There were nights we would work until 2am and have to be back by 8am. I missed more holidays & family gatherings than I could count {{nearly every holiday from the time I was 18-25}}
I didn't have the greatest "circle of influence" back then...which kind of made me not like people. How awful is that!?

Beachbody wasn't just about getting fit...it's completely changed my attitude & while not every day is peaches & sunshine...I have a LOT of AMAZING days...and when I do have a bad day...I handle it much better than I used to (thanks to my other half hehe) Don't sweat the small stuff!

Since we can work from anywhere...and since I dont have to ask a boss for time off...Jay and I rented this sweet house in Florida for a couple of weeks to Hang out with some of our FAVORITE people Lindsay Matway & William Hodges LONDON  , Tony Stay & Lindsay StayBrittany LeGette
My happy tank is about to be filled!!

If something in your life isn't working...don't complain about it. Just do something about it. It took me 3 months of debating/researching before I signed up as a coach. I'm so glad that I finally trusted my gut, took the leap of faith and had the VISION to stick it out and see this thing through!

Whatever you're thinking about doing...TAKE ACTION! You won't regret it =)

Developing your Brand: Beachbody Coach Training

Thursday, April 17, 2014

Feel like you're struggling with WHAT to post on your Social media/Blog?youtube?
Feel like you DON'T relate to some of the people you are trying to help?

It's time to LASER FOCUS your message and your business to the person you COMPLETELY relate to ...and LOVE working with

Back in 2012, I discovered the most amazing woman on the planet!
My mentor (from afar) and BUSINESS GURU extraordinaire: Marie Forleo! (www.marieforleo.com).
I signed up for her B-School and she taught us this AMAZING exercise: Creating your "Ideal Customer Avatar"

It rocked my world!
I don't want anyone to let this training pass them by!  DO IT!

So why should you do this?
  • Without developing your brand, your marketing will be very generic (and ineffective)
  • You'll attract people you don't relate to & coaching isn't as fun. It feels like an uphill battle.  I, for example, don't relate to MEN who are trying to put on muscle. I would much rather work with a 25 yr old woman!!
  • No matter how hard you work, you will struggle to reach your business goals and won't know why
  • Once you identify your Brand, marketing becomes SO much easier & fun! You'll attract customers who are perfect for you!
  • You'll form a deeper & more meaningful connection with your customer & team!
  • When your customers feel that YOU understand them, you establish a deep level of trust.  Deep trust = repeat customers. Happy customers = a successful LONG TERM business!

This exercise CHANGED MY BUSINESS....I went from having a wide variety of people...to narrowing my focus and attracting coaches who are just like me. It makes your job as a coach a lot easier, a lot more fun and gives you purpose because you know who you are trying to help!
First, you want to make a list of characteristics that represent the person you MOST enjoy helping! Who are they? What do they like? What do they do for fun?

Make a List!
  • Age
  • Single/Married
  • Occupation
  • Interests
  • Hobbies
  • Personality Type (Shy, outgoing, bubbly, quiet, etc...)
PRO TIP: Really dig deep on this! What does she fear? What are her goals? What keeps her up at night?
Put yourself in their shoes! My customer is worried about signing up as a coach and putting their SSN # on the website. What if this is a scam!?!?
Knowing this helps me explain things and ease their mind.

Think back to what you felt or thought about Beachbody before you were a coach or really understood it.
STEP 2  Create a VISUAL! Something you can re-visit and read when you need inspiration or focus! Check out my picture!
This represents MY Brand and my Ideal Customer/Coach.
I've named her Kaitlyn. "Kaitlyn" LOVES the beach, she's super carefree but then stresses about random things, she likes to research before she purchases but then ends up making impulse buys based on her gut, she loves ordering things online. She is an animal lover and would rescue every dog if she could. She reads People magazine but loves personal development as well. She bites her nails unless she has a manicure & hates scary movies. She's never been "Fat" but wants to tone and lose 5-10lbs.

PRO TIP: Your visual should really speak to you and inspire you! You might discover that your ideal customer is YOU! It's easier to talk to and help someone that you relate to! After reading your slide, you should be EXCITED to help this person!

 Revisit this daily! Save your image on your desktop if it helps.
I know so much about my Ideal customer "Kaitlyn"   I could go on & on her
. This person is someone I made up...but by creating her identity and relating to her....I get ideas for what I should post. I think about "What would Kaitlyn be inspired by? What worries does Kaitlyn have?"

This should inspire you! You should have pages of ideas for your website, blog, and Facebook on what you can do to help this person.
You should be able to create content that will not only appeal to them but makes them feel like "Wow! she really gets me!"
I'm able to create CONSISTENT marketing and a consistent message that ATTRACTS girls just like "Kaitlyn" into my business. Building a connection is KEY in getting people to contact you!
Make sense?
How can you add value?

Think about what kind of VALUE you can add to this person's life. What can you give?
  • What advice or guidance can you provide?
  • What skills/talent/knowledge do you have? (Don't undervalue what you know! Something that seems obvious to you, might seem overwhelming and confusing to someone else. Example: Meal planning)
  • "If you want to hit the bullseye, throw more darts"  Creating content that builds your brand is a process that takes time and consistency!

MY customer "Kaitlyn" wants to tone her legs, booty and tummy...so I write A LOT about the workout that helped me with that (Brazil Butt Lift!)
My customer is worried that Shakeology is a scam- so I write about my experience and how I googled Beachbody and looked them up on the Better Business Bureau before I would buy anything lol

MOST of this applies to the future COACH you are going to attract, but I like to take it one step further.
Make a list of the characteristics of your IDEAL COACH.

Then, RATE YOURSELF on each item (1-10)

If you want to attract that type of person into your business, YOU need to be the BEST example! Lead from the front! Your list is basically what your "ideal coach" is looking for in a sponsor! Look at your list...what do you need to work on? Create your personal development strategy around your areas of opportunity.

If you have meet ANY of my team, you will see that they are basically carbon copies of ME (flaws and all! hahah We have terrible follow through :P But we have BIG hearts!!)
Pittsburgh Super Saturday with my team!
Bombshell Winter Retreat!

So there you have it...if you want to create a consistent message, REALLY connect with your customers and truly help them....you FIRST have to figure out who it is that you want to help!

From an acorn a mighty oak grows

Thursday, April 10, 2014

It's Thursday! In the Beachbody world, that means PAYDAY and rank advancements (I know that means nothing to non-coaches...but both represent the number of people each coach has helped)

Today is a BIG DAY for our team- lots of exciting advances & paychecks...but I wanted to take a moment to recognize some of my newer coaches who are building their dreams brick by brick.

Some of my newbies made $50+ this week...which might not sound like a lot...but to ME 3 yrs ago... an extra $50-200 a month was LIFE CHANGING!
That was breathing room with my bills, extra gas money, grocery money, girls night money, pay a little more on my mortgage money.

With this business, you start out small. Zero customers. But slowly...you build one relationship at a time. You light the way and lead by example. You practice what you preach and invite people to join you on this journey of better health/relationships.

You might not make huge strides everyday...but you keep putting one foot in front of the other. And one day you look back...and you'll be amazed at how far you've come.

"From an acorn a mighty oak grows"

Whether it's Beachbody or something else...take those small steps toward success everyday. Let that little seed grow!

7 Simple Clean Eating Tips

Wednesday, October 26, 2016

How to get results:

If you kinda do it... it kinda works.
If you REALLY do it... it REALLY works.

When I talk with my friends who aren’t familiar with the idea of a Eating Clean (AKA: Clean Eating) they assume it’s probably some extreme diet, tough to keep up with over the long-term, and perhaps even expensive for one reason or another. Not true at all..

I follow the clean eating philosophy because it’s so EASY to follow and because it hasn’t made my grocery bills sky rocket higher (We've actually SAVED money by sticking with the basics)
So what can you do to get a flatter more toned stomach by following a few simple clean eating tips without even jumping onto the clean eating bandwagon?
Simply try these 7 simple clean eating tips and watch your stomach get flatter and your abs look more toned in no time at all.

  1. I don’t drink carbohydrate drinks (aka:sports drinks) ...or soda!
  2. Eat less refined sugars.

    Now this doesn’t mean I don’t eat sugar overall. I eat plenty of sugar that comes from fruits, other natural food sources. The key here is to cut out white processed sugar from your daily dietary habits as much as possible.
  3. Avoid artificial flavors and colors.

    This is pretty simple to do by simply avoiding processed foods. If you can’t pronounce the name of something in your food or have no idea what it is then it’s probably processed.
  4. Don’t eat processed foods.

    If you don’t know whether the food is “processed” then just check the nutrition label and read the ingredient list. If anything sounds non-natural, manufactured, you have no idea what it is, or you can’t pronounce it then it’s probably processed food on some level.
  5. Eat more fruits and veggies.

    Your mom had a point when she used to tell you this as a kid and even perhaps as an adult
  6. Eat more lean protein.

    Lean protein include things like salmon and chicken. Lean protein builds, fuels, and maintains lean body muscles. Lean body muscles are what help give people a very lean and toned look.
  7. Drink more water.

    Drinking more water actually helps the body retain less water weight.

If you want more tips/guidance/accountability...if you want sustained weight loss, belly fat loss, and to get a flatter sexier tummy by New Years...Message me for details on my next fitness/wellness group.

Building Secure Connected Devices - I

(Originally published here, please excuse misalignments, if any)

Recently I was researching for articles on Security and IoT, and I happened to notice that most of these focus more on fear-mongering, explaining in detail how a certain device, if hacked, could cause devastating problems. And then many articles advertise the use of certain security solution on the cloud or likewise. But very few attempt to explain the security context, at the IoT device level. So here is an attempt to break-down the problem and understand the most common security issues that could surface and the typical solutions for the same. Hopefully this helps you to develop more secure IoT products by design.

Why is IoT security a concern?

Connected devices are here to stay and they are entering our lives in ways like never before. These are no longer limited to the smart home electronic appliances. Today we have smart door locks and smart vacuum cleaners and even the US president wearing a fitness tracker. Security is a concern primarily because of the following:
  • Connecting more physical things potentially increases the surface area of the attack vector. While previously the attack could be limited to your email account, or social network account, the attack could now come to your house.
  • Newer interactions with these connected devices opens up completely new attack vectors.
  • Strong constraints on cost and power of connected devices required a newer breed of hardware to address a lot of the IoT use cases. While embedded devices have been around for a long time, connecting them to the Internet opens them up to a range of attacks that weren’t possible on these devices before. It took a while for the hardware to catch up with the latest security standards for already identified attack vectors.
  • As with the rapid increase in cloud/web-service developers, it takes time for newer set of enthusiasts, hobbyists and developers to get acquainted with the attack vectors and their solutions.

Device Interactions

Let us first try to look at the typical interactions that any such smart device will have with the outside world. Once all the interactions are known, we can identify potential attack vectors associated with each of these interactions and then come up with meaningful solutions to address these.

There are a wide variety of smart devices that are being built out there. Let’s look at Wi-Fi enabled devices that are typically deployed in smart homes. Consider this smart device (one the left) part of a smart home.
Most interactions with this device can be categorized into three types:

  • Physical Access: The first is the physical interactions that the device owner has with her devices. For this interaction you have to be present in the house for operating the device.
  • Local Network Access: The second is the access over the local Wi-Fi network. For this interaction you can be anywhere in the vicinity of the house in the Wi-Fi Access Points range.
  • Remote Access: Finally, most Wi-Fi devices talk to some cloud services. It may be to facilitate remote access to the owner of the device, or to query other services (weather, electrical pricing etc.).
Most attackers would prefer to exploit the remote access model. This allows them to exploit millions of devices across the world without leaving your chair. So let’s look at that interaction first.

Remote Access

As a common pattern of remote access, most connected devices are currently assuming a network client persona, and communicating with a remote server over HTTP, MQTT or other such protocol. By not being a server themselves, for the remote access scenario, these devices avoid having to re-configure firewalls on home gateways to open up holes for the incoming accesses.
From the device to the cloud
Let’s look at the first part of the device interaction from the AP onward to the cloud (see figure below). There are multiple attacks possible targeting this communication, like,
  • man-in-the-middle: snoop your thermostat data from your device to the cloud (Nest), or modify settings from the cloud to the device
  • replay attacks: if the data is encrypted, replay the same encrypted packet of data that unlocks the door lock of the house
  • DNS spoofing: divert the traffic of your connected toy to a malicious server
  • device spoofing: create a malicious/fake camera, and make the cloud believe that the camera belongs to you, the owner, and that the video feed is genuine

But if you notice, most of these attacks are also applicable to an online banking transaction. The communication pattern is no different. Obviously, the right thing to do is to rely on the tried and tested standards that are used to protect our online banking transactions. This mechanism is Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS works at the transport layer, so you can run any higher level protocol, HTTP, MQTT or others, on top of it.
Until recently, running a TLS stack on micro-controllers wasn’t a possibility, because of their low compute power and constrained memory.
The latest IoT micro-controller platforms, however, are powerful enough to run the TLS stack. Many low footprint TLS software implementations are also available that can run on these hardware platforms. The hardware and software capability being now available, there is no reason not to use TLS for this communication over any other home-grown security mechanism.
From the cloud to the app
Now let’s look at the communication from the cloud to the user’s app. This isn’t directly related IoT per-se, but mostly about following standard practices for secure web API design. These are the APIs that allow your smartphones or other devices, to interact with the cloud for querying or controlling the connected devices in your home.

The entire web API should be exposed over TLS. Additionally, you have to ensure that the user apps are appropriately authenticated with the cloud service, and then they have the proper authorization to access the thing that they are supposed to talk to. Thankfully, there are many IoT cloud platforms available that provide a higher-level abstraction that already takes care of most of these things.
Through the secure communication channel
The most common manner in which we get malware installed on our computers is by accessing sites/files that we aren’t supposed to access.
Connected devices must communicate with a limited set of known servers. And these servers should be under the control of trusted parties.
The other protection that helps is to have a read-only partition that runs the firmware image. Even if you have to make any changes, it should be first switch to a read-write mode, and then written to.

While the above is a short list of the most common attack vectors, there could be use case specific attack vectors based on interactions with other elements. These should be also considered and tackled. For example, say a door lock is unlocked if the phone reaches a certain location, can the phone be tricked using GPS spoofing?
Those are some of the common attack vectors and their solutions for the remote access scenario. In the next part, we will look at possible attack vectors for local network access and physical access.

Lunches May 28 - May 31st

Boogs' lunches are inspired by the books we read at bedtime the previous evening. Each night, Boogs reads one book to me and I read two books to him. I usually post his lunches once a week. Click on the "lunches" label at the end of this post to see lunches from previous weeks.
Sheep Out to Eat by Nancy E. Shaw
The sheep go out to eat at a fancy restaurant and they do not have any manners.  Boogs laughed at their restaurant antics. In the ELB lunchbox: almond butter and jelly sheep sandwich, popcorn, strawberries, blueberries, salad.

Beautiful Moon/Bella Luna by Dawn Jeffers
This is another book with English and Spanish text from our library.  It tells the story of a little girl who has so many things planned that she cannot fit them into one day. She pulls back the night sky and wishes for it to always be daylight. She soon discovers that having her wish come true is not as great as she thought it would be. Boogs enjoyed looking at the detailed pictures. In the Laptop lunchbox: pb&j girl sandwich, Babybel cheese Bella Luna, strawberry flowers, salad, yogurt, and popcorn.

How Do Dinosaurs Learn to Read? by Jane Yolen
Oops! We discovered that some of the ways we read books (sometimes while eating) are on the dinosaurs "no" list for reading books. Oh well, we love to read wherever we are. In the lunchbox: ham & cheese dinosaur sandwiches, berries, pita chip "books", yogurt, spinach, and broccoli.

It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles G. Shaw
We were watching the clouds this afternoon and that reminded me of this book. I dug it out of a box to read to Boogs. Each white blob looks like an object or animal. The white cloud shapes on blue paper look like spilt milk. I wonder if Boogs will think some of the clouds we watch next time look like the objects in this book. I love laying in the grass and watching the clouds go by with my sweet boy. In the ELB lunchbox: pb&j cloud shapes, apple, Z bar, carrots with hummus, and yogurt.

I did not realize until after I finished making this lunch that it would be the last Kindergarten lunch I made. Boogs has 1/2 a day of school tomorrow for his last day in Kindergarten. We will probably go out to lunch with friends tomorrow after school so I am not making a story themed  lunch tomorrow.

I will still try to post lunches on Fridays throughout the summer but there will probably be fewer lunches posted at a time. We have a nice schedule set up for summer. Boogs will have swim practices five days a week for swim team and swim meets every Saturday. I have signed him up for twice a week Spanish immersion classes. We have lots of playdates and get togethers with friends coming up. Boogs and I are looking forward to it.

Autograph Shirt

Boogs has one day left of Kindergarten. I decided to make an autograph shirt for his friends to sign. I was going to go to Hobby Lobby and buy a white t-shirt, but then I remembered a t-shirt in his closet that he never wears. This shirt started out white, got stained, was then tie-dyed, and now I have freezer paper stenciled on it. It was perfect for the kiddos to write all over with permanent marker.

I could not find my craft exacto knife so I had to settle for a box cutter. Whew, that was a lot of work with a box cutter.

Green paint to match the green tie-dye.

Tada! Finished and ready to wear to school.

Before school - Boogs thought it was a pretty cool idea to have his friends write on him.

After school - Boogs had fun getting signed. During bath time, he thought it was pretty funny that he had permanent marker dots on his skin. The markers went through in a couple of places. Boogs told me that he put the end of his shirt up on a desk so his friend could draw a heart near the bottom.
I still can't believe that tomorrow afternoon I will be bringing home a 1st grader. This year (actually the past 6 years) has gone by way too quickly. I am really going to enjoy having my boy home for the summer.

Lunches May 21 - 25

Boogs' lunches are inspired by the books we read at bedtime the previous evening. Each night, Boogs reads one book to me and I read two books to him. I usually post his lunches once a week. Click on the "lunches" label at the end of this post to see lunches from previous weeks.

Elephant Dance by Theresa Heine
Ravi and Anjali ask questions and hear about their grandfather's growing-up years in India.  Grandfather tells them about the sun that is like a ferocious tiger, monsoon rains that fall like waterfalls from the sky, and elephants parading during the Festival of Divaali. Ravi dreams of playing a tune for the elephants to see them dance. At the end of the book, there is a section of factual information about India. In the lunchbox: "King of Fruits" mango, carrots in hummus, ferociously hot cheese sun, almonds, pretzels, pb&j elephant sandwich with fruit leather blanket, and yogurt.

Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen
 In this story, a lion wanders into the library. Boogs liked this book. He had fun telling me stories about what it would be like if a lion walked into our library. At first, the Library Lion startles the library patrons. Soon, he is a regular library helper. This is a sweet story about caring for others. In the lunchbox: almond butter and jelly lion sandwich, pistachios, oranges, broccoli, and yogurt.

Libary Mouse A World to Explore by Daniel Kirk
Sam and Sarah are two mice who live in the library. Sarah is adventurous and wants to explore the library by climbing the highest shelves and having daredevil adventures. Sam is a hesitant adventurer who wants to explore the library by reading and researching. Together, the two encourage each other to do more than they would alone. Boogs said the mice reminded him a little bit of Jack and Annie from The Magic Tree House because they researched and had adventures, too. In the lunchbox: pb&j mouse sandwich, pita chip books, turkey rolls, carrot, grapefruit, juice, and yogurt.
On Thursday, I let Boogs buy his lunch at school. He told me liked his lunches from home much better. When I asked what he had for lunch, I was not thrilled with his answer, "A hot dog, tator tots, and Doritos." Boogs is the second to last kid in line and the majority of his class buys a school lunch. By the time he got through the lunch line, he said he only had about 10 minutes to eat. I am so glad I take the time to send a healthy packed lunch for him every day.

The Most Perfect Spot by Diane Goode
Jack invites his mother to the perfect spot for a picnic. Each time they find the perfect spot, the phrase "But suddenly, who knows why..." ends the page. Then, some calamity befalls them. Boogs laughed at the colorful pictures. He quickly learned to watch out for the little dog on each page. Trouble seems to follow that dog. Boogs has decided that we need to find the perfect spot for our own picnic. School ends next Friday. I am sure we have many picnics in our future. In the lunchbox: broccoli, kiwi, pita chip picnic blanket, almond butter & jelly dog holding Mother's ruined hat, raisins, cheese mother and boy with fruit leather hats, popcorn, and yogurt.

Cheese Ball Cake

Boogs teacher is not very fond of sweets. One of the other teachers asked if I would make some sort of birthday treat for Boogs' teacher that is not sweet. I turned to my Bento Blogger Friends for help with ideas. Someone suggested this "cake" from Hungry Happenings site. That cake is way out of my skill level but I did use it for inspiration.

Here is my cheese ball cake:

I used this recipe but omitted the nuts because of potential allergies. This is the first time I have ever made a cheese ball and the first time I have ever tried to cut radish flowers. It was quite a learning experience. I would not recommend trying to learn how to cut radish flowers an hour before you are supposed to have them ready.

I used a 1.5 Quart Pyrex bowl to mold the cake. I just randomly picked a bowl that I thought would make a good shape. I put plastic wrap in the bottom of the bowl before I squished the cheese into it. I used:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix (I added a bit more until I liked the flavor)
2 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Set it in the fridge for a bit to help it set its shape then inverted it onto a plate to "frost" with cream cheese. It turned out to be around 6 to 7 inches across. There was about 1/4 of it left after all of the students had gotten a big spoonful.

Boogs' teacher and class enjoyed the cake with crackers and veggies. It was so nice to bring home a kiddo who was not on a sugar high after a class party.

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

A couple of years ago, I was a Stampin' Up demonstrator. I have so much cardmaking and scrapbooking supplies that I feel guilty if I don't occasionally use them. Most of my Stampin' Up stamp sets are retired.

I made summer cards for my preschool kiddos. I used to make and sell fold-out mini albums using this paper folding technique. For my summer card, I took a 7 x 7 inch sheet of cardstock and folded it three times - crease left to right, unfold then crease top to bottom, unfold then crease on the diagonal. Push the two diagonal points toward each other to collapse into a 3 1/2 inch square. I glued one side down to a 4 x 4 inch piece of cardstock for the base. I love using this technique to make a quick and cute card. I used my On the Beach stamp set for the summer images.

I recently attended a baby shower and made this card. I love this retired Stampin' Up set - A New Little Someone. The bunny went perfectly with the bunny on the wrapping paper I used for the baby shower gift. I stamped the bunny image on vellum and chalked the bow, ears, and feet. I stamped the bunny image on white cardstock and put that under the vellum. I think it turned out cute.

Swim Team 2012

Boogs is back on the swim team this year. He started practices a couple of weeks ago and attended the first meet of the season this past Saturday. He LOVES being in the water. Boogs told me he wants to attend every meet this year. Hello 5:30 am every Saturday morning until July 7th. It is going to be a fun swim season!

Lunches May 14th - 18th

Boogs' lunches are inspired by the books we read at bedtime the previous evening. Each night, Boogs reads one book to me and I read two books to him. I usually post his lunches once a week. Click on the "lunches" label at the end of this post to see lunches from previous weeks.

Transformers Comic Book by Hasbro
Because it was Mother's Day, my husband put Boogs to bed Sunday night. It was very nice of him. The only thing they read for a bedtime story time was this comic book. After Boogs was asleep, my husband told me this was the worst thing he has ever read, "no plot, unpronounceable made-up words, really had no beginning or ending." I am not a big fan of it either but I still had to try and turn it into lunch for Boogs. In the ELB lunchbox: pb&j Transformer jet that turns into a Transformer robot, cheese stick, Chex Mix Cybertron debris, pears, yogurt, and salad with cucumber letters.

Thelonius Turkey Lives! by Lynn Rowe Reed
The last time we were at the library, Boogs checked out 3 Christmas books and one Thanksgiving book. I picked out a few other books that were not holiday books. The librarian told us that kids tend to check out Christmas books all year round. Thelonius is the last turkey left on Felicia's Ferguson's Farm. It is almost Thanksgiving and Thelonius is nervous about becoming t-day dinner. He enlists some of the other farm animals to help him play tricks on Felicia because he is not going down without a fight. Boogs enjoyed this book. In the lunchbox: almond butter & jelly Thelonius sandwich with fruit leather feathers, carrot branch, pistachio turkey feed,  yogurt, and applesauce.
Smile! by Leigh Hodgkinson
Sunny has lost her smile. She searches and searches for it and it finally comes back. Boogs told me he looses his smile when he has to take a shower instead of a bath or when he has to clean his room. It sure can be rough when you are a 6-year-old. In the lunchbox: pb&j Sunny sandwich with fruit leather hair, cheese stick eyes, wax smile (not to be eaten, it is one of those flavored wax lips to chew like gum), fruit leather letters, orange slice smiles, and salad.

Who Stole Mona Lisa? by Ruthie Knapp
This book is told with the Mona Lisa picture narrating the story. She tells of how she came to be painted, how she ended up at the Louvre Museum, and how she was kidnapped and missing for two years. I was impressed that Boogs remembered Leonardo da Vinci and his varied works. We read Magic Tree House: Monday With a Mad Genius last summer. Last night when we read the title of our bedtime book, Boogs said, "Oh, I remember this picture and the guy who painted it. He was interested in a lot of things. He painted the Mona Lisa and he tried to make a flying machine and he liked birds to not be in cages."  I love seeing Boogs make literature connections. In the lunchbox: buttered bread Mona Lisa painting, County Line leftover chicken, blueberries, tomatoes, raisins, juice, broccoli and spinach.
Henry Hikes to Fitchburg by D.B. Johnson
This is another picture book inspired by Henry David Thoreau's Walden. Two friends challenge each other to be the first to get to Fitchburg. One will walk the 30 miles while the other will work to earn money to pay for a ticket for the train. This story shows what each of the friends is doing to get to Fitchburg. Henry Bear enjoys his long walk through nature, stops to press flowers in a book, picks blackberries, gathers honey, and takes in the beauty of the countryside. His friend toils all day to earn enough money to rush to the train, ride squished in a train car overcrowded with people, and arrive at dark in Fitchburg. Henry gets there later than his friend and explains that he was late because he stopped to pick blackberries to share. Boogs and I talked about being in nature, remembered our camping trips, the fun we have on our hikes, and our own adventures picking strawberries. During our discussion, I asked him if he enjoys being in nature. He responded, "My heart likes to be in nature, but sometimes my brain messes with me. My brain tells me that I want to stay inside and play Lego Star Wars on the Wii instead of just being in nature." In the ELB lunchbox: pb&j Henry Bear sandwich, cheese butterflies, turkey pepperoni flower, ham walking stick, blackberries, carrots with hummus, and yogurt.

Mother's Day

Yay! I found my camera. My sweet husband had a special boys only day with Boogs on Saturday. I had the entire day to myself. I took my mom out to lunch and spent most of the afternoon with her.

On Mother's Day, Boogs gave me a beautiful bouquet of roses. We went to the Oasis for brunch, wandered around the shops for a couple of hours, and then went home for a nap. It was a lovely day.

Random Pics From the Past Week Or So

Grandmaman - a few pictures for you to enjoy:
Student-led Conferences - "The best part of kindergarten was... the chiks" I love this sweet & silly boy!

Crazy Hair Day at school. Boogs picked the colors and the style.

Home Depot Kids Workshop - making a planter box.

Planting a tomato in his not-quite-dry planter box.

"Can I get my feet wet?"

Apparently, Boogs does not know where his feet end.

I rolled his shorts up Daisy Duke style in an effort to keep them dry. It did not work out for us.

Hanging with "The J Boys"

Boogs is studying the bug on his arms.

Making french toast for breakfast. (Ignore the messy kitchen)

Boogs has started to like working on activity books.

Boogs lost his 2nd tooth on Wednesday, May 9th. He asked me, "Can we write a nice note to the Tooth Fairy and ask her to just borrow my tooth? I really want to keep my tooth for an old memory." We wrote her a note. She wrote back, agreed to just borrow the tooth, and left $2 under Boogs pillow. In the morning he asked, "Do I need to save these two dollars to give back to the Tooth Fairy for when she brings me back my tooth?" He is such a cutie!

Painting Our Sculpture

We had to rearrange our schedule this week. Our learning playdate was moved from Wednesday to Friday. Last week, we went over a very short history of sculpture and then gave the kids a block of clay and let them do whatever they wanted with it. Here is what they created:

This week, we gave them a variety of paint colors and brushes.They put these items to good use.

There were a few mishaps.

The finished pieces.
Next week, we are going to check out a newly opened "all-abilities" park.

Setting Up Shop

It's been way to long since I last posted. Forgive me. Sometimes life just gets in the way!
I have been busy moving my seed bead shop out of the antique mall and into a beautiful bead store, Waterlily Studios & Beads. What a beautiful, inspiring space it is. It's a perfect fit for my seed beads.
I had to buy new racks for my set-up and I think they worked out well. The most time-consuming part of the endeavor has been the inventory process. I've been counting tubes of beads for many days now and I'm still not done. I have even been dreaming about counting them in my sleep.
I promise to post a picture ASAP! I brought my camera with me the day I finished my set up and the battery was dead. Doh!
For any of my local friends or people traveling along the Oregon Coast, here is the address and phone number of the store:

Have you learned NOTHING, yet?

It was creepy.  NOTHING had been showing up everywhere:  all over FaceBook posts, in films, in song lyrics, even on a popular TV show.  NOTHING was inescapable!  So I started investigating NOTHING—from lectures by Alan Watts to scientists like Carl Sagan, Einstein and Nassim Haramein; from spiritual leaders such as Osho to Krishnamurti; I even peaked at the existentialists and other philosophers—which all accumulated into the constant thread of non-duality:  Nothing is Everything.

NOTHING was associated with EVERYTHING, literally-- from Zen mind-less bliss (the ultimate state of enlightenment) to the start of creation (Big Bang) to dark matter and black holes to limitless potential to death and depression.  Thus my question was, “So what?  WTF am I supposed to do with THIS?  How am I supposed to apply NOTHINGNESS to my life?”

Well, as you can guess, the answer was obvious: Do NOTHING.  All of a sudden I had plenty of opportunities to test this new and very foreign response to life: Threatened with eviction?  Do NOTHING.  (Guess what?! It worked itself out!)  Angry friend?  Do NOTHING: her anger has NOTHING to do with me, she is just projecting!  Family, friends caught up in their own dramas?  Do NOTHING. They are on their own path, learning their own lessons through their own experiences and at their own paces.  Seeking new work?  Do NOTHING.  Work and money came to me!

I started applying NOTHING to everything and the results were celebratory!  Let’s not forget that several masters throughout the ages, from Lao Tzu to Jesus to John Lennon (“Let it be”), have been saying this for centuries.  I finally got it!  Literally, do NOTHING.  Try it!  For the sake of experiment:  Next challenge, try to do NOTHING!  See what happens, when you allow everything to take care of itself!  I suspect the results are going to stun you!

So what did I do while I was busy doing NOTHING?  Well, lots of dancing around my house and in public; I read LOTS of books; watched a lot of films; visited with friends; lots of painting and writing; chatted to my grandparents on the phone; went on a 4-month “Get Goofy Road Trip” from Chico to LA and back; spent a month in Alabama; went to 2 music festivals; cooked my favorite meals; did Osho zen readings for friends and strangers; got a pedicure and a haircut—basically, having a DAMN good time.  Was it really THIS simple?  Shall I refer to Occam’s Razor?

NOTHING reminds me that I really KNOW NOTHING!  I have no idea what is going to happen in the next minute, much less a month or year from now!  The Buddhists teach, be attached to NO-THING.  NOTHING lasts forever…ha! Ha!  So ultimately, my BIG lesson was surrender, letting go and as Osho said, “All you can do now is to relax into this no-thingness...fall into this silence between the this gap between the outgoing and incoming breath. And treasure each empty moment of the experience. Something sacred is about to be born.”

Live your bliss,
The Goofy Guru

Fabric Necklace DIY Kit

Do you have a bit of fabric you just love or that means a lot to you?  I started making my fabric jewelry because my grandmother passed on some vintage fabric to me.  I didn't know what to do with it.  I played with those tiny squares of fabric for about a year before I knew what to do!

I have new listings in my shop for Fabric Necklace DIY Kits so you can use your own fabric to make a one-of-a-kind pendant.

These pendants and chains are plated: silver, antiqued copper, or antiqued gold.  You get just about everything you need to make your own beautiful necklace!  The only things you provide are your own fabric and glue.

Mission Trip...?

I went on a Mission Trip last weekend. It was an interesting experience. First of all, it wasn't an ulu place (as in remote...) It was a semi-town-village area with loads of Cantonese and Mandarin speaking people. I don't speak either language well... almost none actually. So, 'missionly' speaking, it was more of a ministry outreach more than a mission... Somehow my basic understanding of Mission implies that you go to a really remote place as in a unreached people group to spread Jesus' truth and salvation... better if it's to China... then it defines "Mission" 100% where you go to the villages and really dig into God so that you don't get caught... Know what i mean... I'm pretty messed up...

So, I learned a lot in this trip. I dunno... I guess the mission trip wasn't so much of a mission for the people there but more for myself... I met a man. What a man he was. God healed him of cancer. His life is now God's and what does he do? He gives up what he does and goes to this semi-town-village and starts a community center for the youth - the delinquent or those that just need some caring. So, he spends all his money on this place... turns it into a workshop-school of mechanics, music, english and God knows what more... Wow's the word. He gets certified teachers/lecturers to teach music and school lessons and he does the auto-mechanic workshop classes. He doesn't earn a single cent from it. Then, not enough. In the early morning, he goes to this special park in the Taman opposite his, and helps the senior community, those that have succumbed to stroke and need physio workout. He does some massaging for them (which he picked-up cos he did not know how to do it earlier), then not enough some more. He then builds them some more exercise devices that he puts at the park for them. So, now they have those gym-like bicycle exercise thingy, and a reflexology walk-path round the little field. Not enough... he builds a place to where the old ladies can leave their vegetables on so that they can have their exercises after they do their marketing. Everything's covered and more equipment is on the way. And all this on his expense. I've not met anyone who would unselfishly do this as a blessing and as a part of their lifestyle. His common words would be "..if you don't let me do this, you don't give me the opportunity to bless you.." What to say...? This man just has to bless you... and he did that with us... and here we are on a mission...

I met another man. Apparently before he was saved, he was a chief gangster. In that small town, he was the most feared man. As he said in his own words in Cantonese, no one comes and beat me, it is I who beat them up. So, there it is. Now he is saved. He is a changed man. His whole family testifies to it, though people in the area are still cautious of him. He owns a house to which he converts to a guest home. It is just opposite the house which he lives and operates his business (He's in the pork business). We've learned that the guest house is NEVER locked. He says no one will come and disturb because it is God's house. But actually we've also learned people are afraid to go in because it belongs to him... otherwise he'll beat you up! hahaa.. This guy is nice. He shared how much of his behavior changed when God came into his life. He would show how he gets angry and that his word at home is law. Whatever he says, you must do... or else. Now, he says, can negotiate already... haha. And the good thing, he never wants to do again what he did before becasue it's not worth it and God has made it possible.

The interesting thing is, when these 2 men speak, the first thing they speak of is about Jesus. At dinner, they were speaking of the sermon they heard just before and what it means to apply it to their lives. It's just natural for them to talk like that. How many times do we talk among friends about God's goodness, or a topic we heard at church, or the difficulty in applying the pronciples of God in our lives? Hardly...most of the time we gossip (yeah, even men gossip). It is very apparent that they are excited about their salvation.

At the free medical clinic that we also conducted, the Christians that came (the senior citizens), they were excited about their God too... they are definitely sure about their salvation. One lady was quoted saying in Cantonese, "if was not for Jesus, I would have died already"...

It was interesting to be among people who has much to say about His goodness, in spite of their situation; many are poor and go thru hard labor in the farms and fields to support their families. Especially the senior folks. They work really hard. Yet they are thankful for the simplest of things where to many of us, we complain of life being tough and too persistent.

So, what did I learn? I learned to be thankful. I couldn't do much at the clinic... I don't speak any Chinese and I'm not a med student... but I learned to serve... in whatever capacity. Before the trip, I made a conscious note to serve. And not to choose what to serve in. If there's a need just do it. I'm glad I was able to wash the urine bottles...(ooh man...gross..).. but I believe God would have been pleased. At the youth group performance, my guitar decided to fail me... but somehow it did not affect me one bit. I knew I was there to serve Him. I wish I wasn't dead tired though.... But there was just this peace... serving Him became easy.

So what mission was this? I think the mission was for me to see what God has done...and what He can do with those that fully trust and believe Him. Was the mission for the people there? Yeah. But it was for me too. I saw His goodness... and how can we be quiet about it when He is good. These people are not quiet about it. In the man's house (the Youth Center), he put up mini posters everywhere and these words were in most of them - "FAITH IN ACTION..." wow... how much of our faith is put to action? How much of my faith is actually put into action? I wish I could answer that... but that's the mission. A mission to know our potential in God. A mission to know what God can do with us if we say yes. A mission to put our faith in action. Was it succesful? For the people there, I guess it was succesful at this point. For me, the question remains. Whether faith will be put into action is more than just words. Faith is believing and believing in His Word. The problem is we don't always do what His Word says... so it's a lifetime of putting faith into action there... :)

Until then, let's keep pressing on towards the goal... the prize... Here's to the people in Sungai Ruan. God bless and keep you and expand the boundaries of His Kingdom.

The Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev character in Serye Volki, played by Aleksandr Belyavsky, has a distinctive voice. It helps me to follow some of the plot, because in the end a secretly recorded conversation of him is turned over to Khrushchev, and I had no trouble remembering whose voice is on it. In the above scene, he’s referring to something different — the fact that he isn’t capable of being very convincing if he’s the one to call Khrushchev to lure him back to Moscow.

I’m not quite sure what to call his voice — a combination of nasal and raspy? Did the real Brezhnev have a voice like that? I don’t know. I don’t recall ever hearing him speak.

I wondered if the actor put on this voice for the movie, or if it was his own distinctive voice. I went to IMDB to see if I had ever seen Belyavsky before.

It turns out I had, in “Mesto vstrechi izmenit nelzya.” He played the bad guy, Fox. His voice was entirely different there.

It looks like he put on thick eyebrows for the Serye Volki movie, too.

He seems to me a good enough actor, but one thing that wasn’t made clear from the movie was what he brought to the table that made the others want to put him in Khrushchev’s place. Yes, some of the others thought he was only a “transitional” figure, that he would soon be replaced by someone else. But he had to have had some leadership ability, or following, or power position, to make the others push him forward.

It’s difficult for an actor to portray charisma or leadership ability in a movie. Sometimes the point can be made by the way the other actors react to him, and that part is done very well in Serye Volki. It’s done very well in the case of the Mikhail Andreyevich Suslov character — done so well that even though he has only a minor role in the movie I immediately went to Wikipedia to learn more about the real Suslov. But there seemed to be something missing in the Brezhnev character. I won’t rule out the possibility that that’s exactly what was intended.

Oct 072008

Here is the scene from Mesto Vstrechi Izmenit’ Nel’zya where the argument takes place over whether it’s OK for cops to break the law in pursuit of the bad guys. The Sharapov character pictured here says, “If we break the law once, then once again, if we use it to bridge the gaps in our investigations, it won’t be a law anymore. It will be a bludgeon.”

BTW, it’s interesting that as the argument gets heated between Sharapov and the character played by Vladimir Vysotsky, that Vysotsky’s voice becomes more like the voice he uses in his singing. You can google for YouTube videos of it. I decided to learn more about him after watching this series. But that’s not where I’m going right now.

After watching Mesto Vstrechi a few days ago, I watched Cargo 200 (Gruz 200). That turned out to be a difficult, sickening film to watch. It was even more difficult to make myself watch some of it a second time. There are other parts of it I want to go back to watch again, but so far I haven’t had the stomach for it. But it’s an important film. It shows what kind of society you have when Sharapov’s prediction comes to pass. I’ll have more to say about this one.

Aug 262008

I’m looking forward to this. I watched the first segment tonight.

I’ve made some remarks about how the police are portrayed in Soviet movies in the post-WWII era. I’m wondering if this is going to show me that my generalizations were wrong, or if it’s going to confirm them. We’ll see. It looks good so far.

Oh, the English title is “The Meeting Place Should Not be Changed.” I rely on the English myself, but I like to keep the original Russian language titles in my head. It helps me learn.

Sickness Certificates

You do not require a doctor's sickness certificate for any illness lasting seven days or less. Your employer may however require you to complete a self-certification form (SC2) which is available from your employer or on the HMRC website.

Evidence that you are sick

If you are sick for more than seven days, your employer can ask you to give them some form of medical evidence to support payment of SSP (statutory sick pay).

Your employer can ask you to confirm that you've been ill.You can do this by filling in a form yourself when you return to work. This is called self-certification.

If you're sick and off work for more than seven days, your employer will probably ask for proof of your illness. Most employers ask for a fit note from your GP.

However, this will also depend on your employer's company policy on sick leave (or sickness absence). This policy should tell you how many days you can be off sick before you need to provide proof of illness or a fit note.

You could also provide evidence from someone who is not a medical practitioner, e.g. a dentist. Your employer will decide whether or not this evidence is acceptable. If your employer has any doubts, they may still ask for a medical certificate from your GP.

Statement of Fitness for Work - ’Fit Note'

The 'fit note' was introduced on 6 April 2010. With your employer's support, the note will help you return to work sooner by providing more information about the effects of your illness or injury.

Spot Removal

Spot Removal Steps

A two-step solution

With today’s stain-resistant carpet, treating spots and stains has never been easier.  The key is to act quickly! The longer you wait, the higher the probability that a spill will become a permanent stain. No carpet is completely stainproof. So to knock out spots, give them a one-two punch.

Step one: absorb the spill

Step two: treat the spot or stain

When cleaning stains and spills, don’t become overzealous. Mix the cleaning solutions according to the directions. In truth, more is not better. Don’t use too much water; try to keep the carpet as dry as possible. And always remember to pretest the product on an inconspicuous spot of carpet.

What if you don’t have a CRI-approved carpet cleaner handy?  Try one of these homemade remedies:

vacation over

I had a great time in PA, visiting friends and family. John post some pictures from 4OJ(3OJ) somewhere. I wish I could have seen friends that I did not get to see, but I had to see my family instead. I already miss Pennsylvania again. The weather was great in PA and now I'm back to the heat and humidity here.

Probably nothing like what you're dealing with, but it's really humid here today. I had to run my defroster full blast this morning.

Carnival is about to end

On Saturday my sister and I went to Güntersleben for another carnival party!
This time Ive been an angel and she was the devil hihi

I dont have much to say except we had a lot of fun. On the next morning I was really tired because at 12 pm there was the carnival procession in Würzburg. So I met Chris and some other people to celebrate carnvial and catch some candy hihi

At 2pm some discos opened and we headed to Tanzcafé Ludwig to party :3
A few hours later we wanted to go to the Posthalle but there was an emergency and we had to wait at least 30 minutes to enter so we decided to go home and rest a bit.

After the short break we took a cab to the airport and met my sister and her friend again. On the procession Ive been a blonde navy girl with my gyaru make up on but in the evening
I didnt feel putting on my wig again and that heavy make up. So I just took my navy cap with me.

and looked like a navy boy lol

We partied until the end and I came home at 5 in the morning. So you can guess that I am now totally exhausted from celebrating carnival. Im partying since friday /DD
But I love it and Im a bit sad its already almost over :(

  1. Looks like you had lots of fun! :D

  2. Oh, ich sehe ihr hattet eine tolle Karnevalsparty!!! Ich auch ;)

  3. the party looks so fun >_<

Remodeling a kitchen is a big project, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Are your prices competitive?

We are very competitive in our pricing, even with the corporate giants!  It is important to remember that many factors will alter your price.  Adding a moldings package or a mullion door can significantly increase the bottom line.  For a true comparison you must shop apples to apples, by using the same design, moldings package and cabinet quality.

Cabinet pricing is important to our clients but a knowledgeable and experienced kitchen company can save you time, money and headaches in the long run.  Even the Consumer Report’s August 2007 issue states:

“Kitchen remodeling is often messy and complicated, with all those products to pick and contractors to screen.  So when Home Depot and Lowe’s tout services that simplify the process—from designing your kitchen to picking out the products and hiring and supervising the contractors—it’s tempting to sign on the dotted line.  But our latest surveys show that no one retailer was impressive for design help, installation services and product quality, selection and price.

Smarter Option: Consider local independent stores and personal references as highly as any preconceived notions about price, quality and convenience.”

File a report with the police. Filing a police report will give you an official way to document names, date, and time of the incident, as well as the contact information of other involved parties.

When they've done it before, know the ins and outs of the law and understand the secrets to winning Valdosta GA Car Wreck Attorney, they'll be able to get you the cash you deserve for your misfortune, which is really the outcome you deserve.

Remember that when you're choosing a personal injury lawyer, you're entering into a relationship. The lawyer you choose should be someone that you can easily get along with. Likeability should not be the only factor in your decision, but it is a very important factor to consider. Not liking your lawyer and their staff can hamper your case by putting a strain on vital communication.

Check the recommendation's background and qualifications prior to establishing contacts. This is a great way to find reputable professionals in the industry.

Personal Injury Law Firm

Work with a company that focusses solely on the subject of personal injury law. A law firm that handles a number of different legal fields, such as family, tax and criminal law, may not have the experience to secure you a good monetary settlement.

Ken Locke Stadium Turf Will Need Renovations Soon

Posted: Tuesday, October 4th, 2011 at 6:22 am
Author: KNIA/KRLS News-Aaron Gernes

The turf at Ken Locke Stadium will have to be renovated sometime soon. That’s the conclusion that the Knoxville School Board came to last week. Grounds Director Gary Bacus told the board that he’s been doing everything he can to keep the turf in decent shape, but the fact is that its life expectancy is almost up. The turf was last renovated in 2000, and is only expected to last 10-12 years. Bacus says that this isn’t just an issue of looks, but a safety issue as well for all the kids that play on it. If approved, work would not likely begin on the field until at least after the 2012 football season.

Author: KNIA/KRLS Sports - Cory Houser

Needing to win out to secure a first round playoff home game, the PCM football team can get half of that out of the way with a victory in Bloomfield against Davis County this evening. Just like last week, the PCM Mustangs’ offense and defense have set specific goals, one of them being a very tough goal to reach. The offense also wants to rush for 225 yards and throw for 75, according to Coach Bonnett. The Davis County Mustangs on defense will sometimes bring five or six guys into the box to try and thwart the run, Bonnett says. Tonight’s game can be heard live on with Justin Webster and Brian Hazelton. The Iowa State Savings Bank pregame show will start at seven.

How an assessment test helps in hiring a right candidate

It is common to see many organizations that use a psychometric test to evaluate the skill of a potential employee. When a recruiter needs to hire a perfect candidate for their post, they might use some assessment test to choose the right person. In the past few years, recruiters don’t experience much difficulty in hiring a person due to the fact that the less job vacancy and fewer demands. However, this situation is no longer today since more and more engineering graduates left from their colleges with degree every year. For each year, the competition among those students is getting increased.

If a company post a job, then thousands of students will be more likely to appear for the interview. More and More job vacancy, the recruiter needs to face more students, which complicates the problem in hiring a right candidate for their post. Hence, some organizations make use of the assessment test in the interview process. It is bit hard to conduct face to face interview and then hire a right person. Obviously, it takes more time. Hence, the psychometric test comes in handy. The assessment test is used to evaluate the basic factors of a candidate includes personality, ability, motivation, Need, character and much more. By imposing the psychometric test, a recruiter can be able to measure the skill set of a candidate, which is imperative in hiring them. By doing so, an organization saves much time in the interview. On top of that, the result obtained by this psychometric test gives a recruiter the valuable insight in hiring the best candidate. Interestingly, when a candidate has passed the psychometric test, they can be able to tackle all the issues in the real life and workspace environment and that is why a psychometric test is mandatory in all the interview process. The decision making is very simple and easy for the candidates.

There are a lot of assessment test and the need for such test is different. For instance, if an organization posts a job regarding software developer, then they might conduct machine and coding test. Since coding is heart & soul of a developer, candidate who applied for the post should take coding test. Similar, recruiter can conduct reasoning and aptitude test to evaluate the arithmetic and reasoning skills of the candidate. Well, there are different types of the assessment test, but most of the organizations don’t know what to choose and how to estimate the candidate’s ability and so on. if a company choose the right interview process, they can save a part of revenue, which they might lose due to the long interview process. A company needs to choose the assessment test based on the job profile.

For each employee, they have own belief, goals, values, unique abilities and preferences. And, measure all these things in face to face interview are next to impossible. Hence, psychometric test always stands out from others in the recruitment process. By conducting the online psychometric assessment, an organization can easily reject the disqualified students.
