TBB Asks Giving Thanks Edition

Happy Monday! Today I thought I would participate along with The Blended Blog group for TBB Asks. This is a fun, monthly question and answer that has a theme. Of course for November the theme has to do with things we are thankful for!

I would love it if you would also answer in the comments. :)

1.  Have you ever kept a gratitude journal?   Nope! I'm not a journal keeper though I wish I were. I'm more of the constantly rolling thoughts of gratefulness kind of girl. I do try to be very aware of my blessings and am grateful each and every day for so many parts of life.

2.  Hosting Thanksgiving at your house?  Again I say no! We travel to the country with my hubby's family almost every year where we have Thanksgiving at the camp house. Do you know what that is? Well in Texas, a camp house is just a simple house built out in the country. My husband's aunt and uncle have a camp house where we love to hang out with the horses and cows. We eat way too much and take turns swinging on the porch swing.

3.  Favorite food from the Thanksgiving meal. Do we have to choose? For me, it's the side dishes! Give me all the dressing, mashed potatoes, and yes I love green bean casserole! When my mom used to cook, she made the best dressing on the planet! Then there's dessert which we always have plenty of! What's your favorite?

4.  What one thing in nature are you most grateful for? Without a single doubt, I am most grateful for trees! My husband and I both love trees. How could you not? If I won the lottery I would buy land...lots of it! I would love to save the trees and the habitats for animals.

This is one of the photos from our visit to the Redwood forest in northern California. We loved it there so much and would love to return over and over.

5.  Pumpkin Pie. Yes or No? Absolutely but why limit ourselves?! We believe in sampling all the yummy desserts. No judgment!

6.  Traditional Cookbook. Yes or No? I do love cookbooks and have several that are tried and true. I like seeing the notes and dates that I've written in them. For Thanksgiving and Christmas, most of my recipes come from my trusty recipe box that I've had for years.

7.  Oven baked or deep fried turkey? I'm not picky but we usually have both.

8.  Thanksgiving leftovers? Are you kidding? A turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce and a little Hellmann's mayo is amazing! Don't talk to me about turkey salad though...that just sounds gross to me.

9. What is one household product you are most grateful for? My Dyson...no my dishwasher...no my washing machine.

10.  Are you most grateful for home-cooked meals or restaurant meals?  Honestly, I prefer home food most of the time. Eating out is a way of life though and I love Mexican food.

Thank you for stopping by today and going along with the fun. I hope you'll answer the questions in the comments. What are you grateful for?

Before you go...did you see this amazing home tour featured last Friday?

Sharing this post at The Blended Blog

  1. Yay, love when you join us. I too love turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce and mayo!!! Looking so forward to it!! Have the sweetest day my friend!

  2. This was fun. I like Thanksgiving dinner leftovers better than any others! And I like the turkey sandwich with slices of avocado! Enjoy your day!

  3. I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying all of your new appliances. I'm not a journal girl either. Have a great week, Stacey.

  4. I like this. I have kept a gratitude journal -- I don't right now, but I'm grateful every day. Don't take away my dishwasher! I'll skip the pumpkin pie but go seconds on the stuffing! Now, if we can just figure out where we are actually celebrating TG, it will be a great plus!

  5. Thanksgiving at the country house sounds idyllic! We never know what our weather will be in WV (but it's typically cold), so the meal is always indoors. I'm with you - all the sides, and sampling all the desserts. Have a great week, Stacey.

  6. Oh Stacey the camp house sounds pretty amazing and fun. Sounds like a perfect setting for Thanksgiving dinner. I had to laugh with your favorite household item being your Dyson. LOL that is mine too. I have never met a dessert I have not liked and I am a sampler too. I love to have just a little of all the pies and desserts. Loved reading your post today. Fun fun fun!

  7. OK, I'll play!
    1. I have kept a gratitude journal and loved it! Need to start again, this is a good reminder :)
    2. Not sure! I have invited family but ... it's complicated. Either way, I'm cooking!
    3. Cranberry salsa and Tamale dressing are my faves. Tex Mex much? haha
    4. I am so in love with sunrises and sunsets
    5. Yes to the pumpkin pie! I make mine grain and sugar free now and it's just as delicious
    6. I do have tons of cookbooks but never really follow a recipe. But I love them for inspiration!
    7. We do a fried turkey when we host, but will probably bake this year. I'm a huge fan of the baking bags :)
    8. Leftovers! Turkey tacos and Jane Brody's turkey soup with wild rice.
    9. Right now I'm most thankful for my Thieves cleaner. That bottle has been getting a workout while I try to spruce the house up for the holidays :)
    10. We almost never eat out! I'm the weirdo who doesn't really like to. I'm super grateful that I love to cook!
    That was a fun way to start the week! I feel like we had a Monday morning girlfriend chat :) Have a great week! xo!

  8. What a fun idea! Here are my answers.

    1. Yes I've kept & still do keep a gratitude journal.
    2. No, my daughter-in-law is hosting!
    3. No favorites, I love it all.
    4. How to choose one! fall leaves & cool/col weather for at least 6 or 7 months.
    5. Yes to anything pumpkin
    6. Yes...my 1987 copy of Better Homes & Gardens The New Cookbook has been rebound after so much use.
    7. No turkey...usually barbecue
    8. Yes to any & all leftovers.
    9. Lysol wipes are my lifesaver
    10. I love food, cooking, eating, planning meals so I will take both!

  9. 1. I have a running dialog with God all day long thanking him for so many things. If I wrote them all down I would be sitting all day! So no to a journal.
    2. Most of the time I host.
    3. Dressing would be my favorite.
    4.Sunshine -A sunny day energizes me.
    5. Love all pumpkin recipes
    6. I prefer written recipes.
    7. My husband or SIL cooks our turkey on a Green Egg. We love it.
    8. Always love leftovers. I miss my husband's aunt's homemade pickles on a turkey sandwich.
    9. Paper towels are high on my list especially during cold season. Washing machine for an appliance is very high on the list.
    10. My husband prefers eating at home and he enjoys cooking so I am game. I do like a nice meal out on special occasions.

  10. Loved reading your answers Stacey. Had to laugh at the appliances. Yes, yes and yes!

  11. Camp House sounds SO relaxing...sign me up. My husband and I were given the job of hosting Thanksgiving in our early 20s (our clever moms). Now we're both Medicare eligible :) I could write a book! 1. we always did a Thankful Tree when we had a houseful. I missed it and find myself discontented this year so I did start a thankful journal to get me back on track. 2. yes, our daughter's family in our new home. 3. fried sweet potatoes. 4. birds, they all fly here in the fall. 5. Pies love them all...we do apple, pumpkin, mincemeat, and all the berries. 6. Yes, traditional cookbooks all year along with family recipes 7. oven 8. yes! We make a very big bird and I freeze leftover turkey for January turkey a'la king nights 9. fragrance free anything-artificial fragrance makes me physically ill. 10. Prefer homemade but grateful for take out when life is busy. Pamela

  12. 1. No gratitude journal but I'm with Miss Bonnie about a running dialogue with my Creator about all He does for me.
    2. We went to my youngest daughter's last year and will probably prepare a meal here this year.
    3. Give me a plate with turkey, turkey gravy, some good fluffy mashed potatoes and I'm happy!
    4. I love trees! That's why new housing developments look so sad...no trees to speak of.
    5. Sweet potato pie! Although I do enjoy a pumpkin roll with that yummy cream cheese filling.
    6. Love cookbooks and handwritten recipes. My 83 year old sister-in-law can still rattle off recipes by heart.
    7. Since our family is small, we cook a turkey breast and the Urban Farmer has prepared it in the Instant Pot.
    8. Leftovers is the name of the game. We had friends who would go out for Thanksgiving dinner but she would cook a meal at home so they would have "leftovers".
    9. We use our Breville oven with air fryer feature several times a day. Excellent for cooking as well as reheating food. It is the bomb!
    10. We prefer eating at home since we know how the food is prepared and the source. That being said, we still enjoy a Butter Burger from Culver's occasionally.

    This was fun, Stacey!

  13. How amazing does this camp house sound? Would you be able to get some photos. I would enjoy seeing your Thanksgiving there sounds so fun.

    I'm grateful for my health improving, my husband, my pups and home. Laughter and happiness are big too. I could go on.

    I too love the sides. Give me stuffing, corn pudding and sweet potato and I am happy.

    I have to sample all desserts. Come on it's the holidays.

    Super post. We should never forget to be thankful.

  14. Happy new week ...love Ria 💕

  15. I enjoyed reading all your answers! I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie, as I'm more of a pecan pie kind of girl. :) I love my Dyson too! This is the first year I'm contemplating ordering a fully cooked Thanksgiving meal. I've hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas for 25 years and think I'm due for a little break. :)

  16. I enjoyed your answers, Stacey! I journaled for five years and I wish I had never stopped. I have been hosting Thanksgiving ever since my sweet Mom passed away and I prepare all the food. It is a labor of love for sure!

  17. Don't keep a journal. I have Thanksgiving at my house,i love having everyone here for turkey and dressing, pumpkin bread, apple desert(a recipe from my mom's cookbook). I love watching birds when good or bad things are going on in my life the birds can always make me smile and feel so blessed.I love eating home cooked meals and i think time pieces are a blessing

  18. Yes to cookbooks and old family recipes. And after I saw your Redwood trip, that destination went to the top of my vacation wish list. Hope you have a wonderful week!

  19. 1. Have you ever kept a gratitude journal? No, but I am VERY thankful for my life.

    2. Hosting Thanksgiving at your house? Oh yes….Hubby’s clan will arrive early and stay late. We always have a great time and a wonderful pot luck meal!

    3. Favorite food from the Thanksgiving meal. My DIL’s pumpkin roll….ahhhhhhh

    4. What one thing in nature are you most grateful for? Sunshine!! We seem to have missed quite a bit of it this year

    5. Pumpkin Pie. Yes or No? Oh yes…I’d rather have pumpkin roll, but the pie is great too!

    6. Traditional Cookbook. Yes or No? Yes!

    7. Oven baked or deep fried turkey? Oven baked without a doubt….

    8. Thanksgiving leftovers? For sure!!! And I even like turkey salad :^)

    9. What is one household product you are most grateful for? Anything that washes!!

    10. Are you most grateful for home-cooked meals or restaurant meals? I really like both…it depends on the situation!....oh my…. I just like FOOD 

  20. I'm a home-cooked, Thanksgiving hosting, leftover loving, grateful girl (even if it's not recorded on paper) who loves her dishwasher and flowers and just about any kind of pie!!

  21. I love the idea of going off to the country to a camp house, hang out and eat all day. We either go out for Thanksgiving to a restaurant or a friends house, which we are doing this year. the next weekend I am usually thankful for not having to cook but this year I am going to make my own turkey dinner for the leftovers! I can't have Thanksgiving dinner without Senator Russell potatoes (sweet potatoes with brown sugar and pecans). I eat a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce and Hellmans almost every day! I am not a journal person....that's why I blog!

  22. 1. No journaling, but I thank God for everything all during the day. Sometimes, I will make a list on my day planner.
    2. We always travel for Thanksgiving, so rarely at home to host. Not sure where we will be this year
    3. Mashed potatoes and yeast rolls
    4. The colors of fall...nothing better
    5. Nope, but I do enjoy Pumpkin Spice anything. Being from the south, my favorite is Pecan Pie
    6. Yes on a traditional cookbook. I'm a cookbook collector!
    7. Deep-fried is my preference if I have to eat turkey. It is not one of my favorites
    8. See #7...don't like turkey that much so not crazy about leftovers; however, the hubster loves a good turkey sandwich with some Lays potato chips on the side
    9. An indoor toilet...I don't think I would enjoy going to an outhouse...with bugs...and snakes...and scorpions...and other crazy critters
    10. Home-cooked! While I do appreciate a good restaurant...nothing beats a home-cooked meal!

  23. Haha - I said washing machine too! Spending Thanksgiving at a Camp House sounds so relaxing and so much fun!

  24. Fun Fun answers. I am with you on the side dishes. Man, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
    I am so with you Stacey about the trees. One of the things that broke my heart with Hurricane Michael was that at the very least 80% of the trees were ruined. So sad!!! I always want people to replant and I get so upset when I see developers go in and clear cut land. Leave the trees!!!!
    Have a good day:)

  25. I loved reading your answers!
    We are kindred spirits!

  26. Stacey,
    No journaling, having Thanksgiving at home, dressing, with you on trees, traditional cookbook-yes (Betty Crocker was a life-saver when stationed on Cyprus, the diagrams that showed where each cut of meat comes from for me to point to at the butcher shop), roasted oven turkey, no pumpkin pie, left-over dressing/cranberry sauce, I'm with Benita on toilets being the household item I'm most grateful for (have lived in houses with outdoor toilets... laundry can be done at a laundromat like in early marriage years), love home-cooked southern meals.

  27. What a great idea. Here are my quick answers.
    No journaling - wish I did. I usually host Thanksgiving here in Highland Village but one day hope to do it at the farmhouse. But our kids don't think there's anything fun to do out in the country so they won't come. Ugh. Fave food has to be dressing, mashed potatoes and rice and broccoli casserole. Although I do love giant trees and rolling hills, I love the big open sky of Texas too. Gross no on the pumpkin pie. I think it's a texture thing. Love old cook books and recipes with crusty flour or drips of vanilla on them from lots of use and I want the traditional oven baked juicy turkey goodness. Well all the dark meat anyway. I look forward to #8 and it tastes amazing! And girl, don't take away my vacuum. Even if I don't clean anything else, the floors make it look clean! And I will choose a steak or Tex-Mex any day of the week if I don't have to cook it. ;)

  28. I always love reading these.
    As for desserts....life's too short, definitely eat them all, and I've been known to eat them first!!!

  29. Love this post!!
    1. I have always wanted to start a gratitude journal, but never have.
    2. Yes, I will be hosting my family for Thanksgiving at my house this year
    3. I’m with you, I love all the side dishes! And, I too like green bean casserole....I might be the only one on my family that like it.
    4. I love EVERYTHING about nature...the trees, the flowers, the mountains, and the oceans. The world is such an amazing place!!
    5. Yes, I love pumpkin pie!!
    6. Yes
    7. Oven baked all the way!
    8. I don’t really like leftovers
    9. I love my washer and dryer...four boys...it’s going all the time!!
    10. Home cooked meals for sure
    Love this post!! Thanks, Stacey!!!
    Hope you have a wonderful day!!

  30. Hi Stacey,
    Oh I loved reading all of your answers. I never kept a journal. I always tried to do that traveling and then I’d stop after the first day. I love turkey and leftovers. My favorite it the stuffing. I am thankful for the dishwasher and my washing machine. I am not hosting Thanksgiving but doing Christmas.
    Thanks for stopping by and your wishes.
    Enjoy the weekend

  31. Agreed on #3 - growing up, we usually had ham on Thanksgiving and not turkey, so I still prefer ham -lol, but really it is the sides I love anyway. My mother-in-law's stuffing (we said dressing where I'm from) and homemade cranberry sauce. She also makes great pumpkin pie. I don't really need anything else.

Thank you for leaving a message. I love hearing from you.

If you do not have a blog or Google account, you will need to email me at stacey@poofingthepillows.com

 PoultryWorld - Bird flu spreading in India

Bird flu spreading in India

More than 500,000 poultry have been culled in Assam, India in the past one month while authorities Friday warned that the bird flu virus was spreading to new areas, officials said. An Assam government spokesman said the bird flu virus was confirmed in about 15 more villages and the authorities have ordered culling of an estimated 70,000 birds.

“So far about 150 villages in eight Assam districts were hit by bird flu and Rapid Response Teams have already slaughtered about 510,000 chickens and ducks since Nov 27,” a veterinary department official said. The new bird flu cases were reported from the districts of Kamrup (Metro), Kamrup (Rural), Baksa, Bongaigaon and Nagaon.

“We have so far identified 19 epicentres affected by bird flu in Assam. Culling operations in newly affected areas have already begun, while in some places the drive is almost complete,” the official said.
An estimated amount of Rs.10.35 million was paid as compensation to people whose poultry were culled. In most parts of Assam authorities have banned sale and consumption of poultry and poultry products.

“It is a matter of worry as the virus has now spread to new areas. A maximum health alert has been sounded with teams of doctors and paramedics taking precautionary measures so that humans are not affected,” Parthajyoti Gogoi, regional director (northeast) of the central health and family welfare department, told IANS.
The Indian health ministry confirmed outbreak of bird flu after laboratory tests found strains of the deadly H5N1 avian influenza.

Thanks to the tireless advocacy of Dab Garner, I am aware of more than the pain of losing fake money playing Texas Hold ’Em on Facebook. Today is National ADAP Call-In Day, so it’s important that will all take part and make our voices heard.

Read Dab’s post from Facebook below and consider joining us by placing a simple phone call.

Positively Yours,

(Thanks, Dab!)

Demand that President Obama Address the ADAP Crisis

AIDS Drug Assistance Programs are critical in providing medications to people living with HIV/AIDS who have no other access. Unfortunately, many state ADAPs have been forced to cut services by reducing eligibility criteria, changing formularies, and closing enrollment. Over 1,596 individuals in ten states are on waiting lists to receive their life-saving and life-sustaining medications through this program. Without immediate additional funding the situation is going to get much worse. With National HIV Testing Day just behind us, we need to remind the Administration that getting people tested is not enough. Treatment must also be available. We need your help to ensure that the Obama Administration takes action to help those in need!

We know you’ve called and emailed, but we need your help AGAIN!

How you can help?

Call the White House at 202-456-1111 and leave the following message:

My name is ___________ and I am calling today because President Obama must address the current crisis in AIDS Drug Assistance Programs. This past weekend was National HIV Testing Day. We know that knowledge of ADAP waiting lists and other access restrictions can keep people from being tested. For many people living with HIV/AIDS these programs are the only consistent access they have to life-saving medications. However, over 1,596 HIV-positive individuals are on waiting lists to access the programs. Relief must be provided so that ADAP clients can receive their medications and additional states don’t find themselves in a similar situation.

Michael Pollan on Food as Social Glue and Anti-Corporate Activism

In ancient Greece, the word for “cook,” “butcher,” and “priest” was the same — mageiros — and the word shares an etymological root with “magic.”

“Cooking gave us not just the meal but also the occasion: the practice of eating together at an appointed time and place. This was something new under the sun, for the forager of raw food would have likely fed himself on the go and alone, like all the other animals. … But sitting down to common meals, making eye contact, sharing food, and exercising self-restraint all served to civilize us.”

Two of Lang's early influences, Albert Collins and Tab Benoit, both played Teles and he credits that guitar
for shaping his style. Photo by Ken Settle.

When you were coming up, you were known as a Tele player. Lately, you have been using a Les Paul pretty often. When did you start to make the switch?
I'm like 50/50 with the Les Paul and Tele. The Les Paul that I have is a really special one. Basically, it's a ’58 reissue. I have a couple of friends who have the highly sought-after Les Pauls and they brought them into the studio and this one has beaten every one of them. It's just a really good one. I got really lucky with it.

What made you originally start with the Tele?
Albert Collins and Tab Benoit. He was the other guy. He plays the semi-hollow Tele and that's where I got that idea. His tone is so unique and he gets such a great swampy midrange out of that Tele. When I saw that, I had to get one.

Do you feel like the Tele shaped your guitar style?
I do. More so on a Tele than that first Strat that I had. I got used to the tension of the strings with the stop tailpiece instead of the floater like the Strat. That's partially why I like Les Pauls. There's something about the scale being smaller that you just can't go crazy on them because the intonation gets weird. You have to be a little more reserved and precise with a Les Paul.

How did you get that thick tone for the solo on "I'll Always Be?"
I had the Les Paul going into this other amplifier made by this boutique builder called Mill Hill amps. They're all about a purity of signal path so there's no volume knob. You just plug it in—just a tube, transformer, and a speaker. The version that I played is called the Love amp. It's just beautiful with a Japanese symbol on the front. It's a Class A, so you just go for it. Actually, I think it was just waiting for that Les Paul.

When you go in to track a guitar part do you have a basic tonal formula in your head or do you start from scratch every time?
I start from scratch, especially on this record. I wanted to honor the songs as much as possible and I did end up going back and putting a few more guitar things on at the end. I had my pedalboard, which is pretty simple, and a few different amps. I plugged into the board directly on several occasions—that worked out really well. Between five or six different configurations of stuff, I would just try and make all of that work.

Do you use the same pedalboard in the studio as you do on gigs?
It's the same board, although I do need to start a studio collection of stuff. I have a Visual Sound Route 66 pedal—which is a Tube Screamer-type deal. Then I have a Fulltone Ultimate Octave, a Boss AW-3 Dynamic Wah, a Jam Pedals TubeDreamer+, a Vox Wah, and a Whirlwind pedal called The Bomb. That's basically just a clean boost. I really like that one. If there was a delay or something going on I would just use Pro Tools for that.

You don't use any delay in your live rig?
I typically don't. I used to have an Echoplex, which I loved, but that disappeared.

Did you stick with your live rig of a pair of Fender Deluxe Reverbs in the studio?
Yeah. I use Deluxes a lot. They are new ones that’ve been modified. They're supposedly handwired to be like the older ones.

What is it about the Deluxe Reverb that you like?
Everything. The cut, the punch, and they're loud. They hold up without getting squishy when you turn them way up. They are like little Marshalls almost. I run them pretty wide open, maybe just a notch or so away from fully up. I run two of them, but I don't have them set up in stereo. Our front-of-house guy makes them stereo in the mix.

Who mods them for you?
It was this guy who was a friend of a friend of a friend and I could never really get him to come out to shows. I've actually never met him and I don't even know his name. It's funny, he's one of these guys who is really good and just shacks up on his own and does his thing. It's a little under the radar. I could probably do some detective work and get his name.

Sounds like a sketchy back-alley deal.
Exactly. [Laughs.] You might get your amp back or you might get a frozen liver. You never know.

Paul Freeman’s photography of manly men remains as hot as ever, but with tech giants censoring the internet and social media, will old-fashioned print save the day?

DNA Magazine - - CONTENT -

Paul Freeman’s photography of manly men remains as hot as ever, but can it survive the tech giants’ censorship?

DNA: Congratulations on both new books. What are you looking for in your subjects? Paul Freeman: My characters are usually unselfconsciously handsome and carefree. They’re immune to fashion or styling, not manicured, pretty natural and unwashed to boot. There’s a bit of raw beast about them. It’s a version of masculinity that’s pretty well extinct, I guess. So how do you find these near-extinct raw beauties?

Most of my subjects find me these days via Instagram. They know I have a particular style and I’m going to interpret them according to that style.

What sort of men want to model for you? Gay, straight, extroverts, professional models? Over the last few years it’s mainly gay men. A lot of straight men have been scared off by online exposure. Occasionally a straight guy sees my books at their gay friends’ house and wants to get photographed in that way – not just naked but in that style. Killian, the cover boy for Lads, was like that. He’s a straight French guy and he came across my work through a Paris photographer. A lot of popular Instagram men seek out photographers they like. I’ll sometimes contact someone, not caring about sexuality, and ask them if they are interested in shooting. It helps when a man already has that “Paul Freeman look”.

There must be some crazy behind-the-scenes moments when shooting these books. There’s always a lot of stealth shooting in places we’re not really supposed to be. It’s the reason I don’t shoot many behind-the-scenes videos. There’s been some hilarious near misses. And some scary ones. Like, shooting in back lanes in dangerous urban areas, within metres of people we can hear conducting their business. One fantastic old location in LA cancelled my booking when the owner saw my website. There was a morals clause on the location’s website that said if they thought the location would be used for “immoral purposes”, permission wouldn’t be given.

It’s an interesting time for photographers of the nude – your work is being censored on social media and independent book distributors are becoming scarce.

It’s a double-edged sword. Social media saved me from publishing ruin because it introduced me to a bigger audience that I wouldn’t have reached otherwise. And there’s a wonderful and loyal core group who support me by subscribing to my website and collecting my work. This enables me to shoot the kind of work that I love to shoot and earn a living.

On the other hand, I’ve never had my work more interfered with. I’m either offending someone or “exploiting” them. “You should shoot this type of guy”, “You should shoot more diversity”, “You’re a white supremacist” or, whenever I post a black man, “Finally, you shoot a black man!” Never mind that I’ve shot black men since my first book. Then there’s “You make me feel bad about my body. Please reconsider your beauty aesthetic!”

An assistant curator at the National Portrait Gallery told me the naked man is not valid art because “many women still find male genitalia confronting because the phallus has been a symbol of oppression over women for centuries”. Plus, “I have two grown sons and I don’t want to see images of naked men their age.” A student told me that their photography teacher flipped through one of my books and said, disdainfully, “This isn’t photography. It just about the penis.” It’s Vagina Monologues good. Penises bad.

I’m banned from advertising of my work on Google and Facebook. My work is taken down even when it conforms to their “community standards”. My Instagram account has been restricted for the last 12 months. I think it’s because I shoot hairy masculinity – I see more revealing almost pre-pubescent boyish nakedness all over Instagram. The fact that I don’t know what I’m doing wrong is infuriating. I may be shut down at any moment without notice or explanation and it’s stressful.

You seem to have travelled far and wide in the making of these new books.

I spent a lot of last summer in Britain and the US. I found my inspiration for Lads in southern England, and New England in the US, Vermont and upstate New York. There’s a famous London graveyard some people might recognise and one of the fisherman stories was shot on a windy, barren outcrop littered with decaying fishing boats next to a nuclear reactor in Dungeness, England. I also spent a week in Nevada in a ghost town. Digs was shot everywhere from old London warehouses to Palm Beach, Florida. There’s a caravan in the Nevada desert, a 16th Century stable-hand quarters in Essex, an old country house in Queensland, and a student pad in Sydney.

He’s unselfconsciously handsome and carefree, not manicured, natural and unwashed … he’s pretty well extinct.

SUP Magazine - - Frontside - – MM

Staple Southern California SUP athlete Chuck Glynn’s life revolves around the water. When he’s not picking off set waves at Cardiff, he’s more than likely training for a race on a San Diego waterway or coaching someone in the art of SUP. But if you don’t find him standing on liquid, you might check the highways for his big white board-shack-on-wheels. It’s hard to miss.

1) 2006 Dodge Sprinter. I got it a year ago and added the utility rack from my old truck on top. I also built board racks inside that double into a bed when I’m on the road. It’s pretty modular and can be turned into a 10-passenger vehicle.

2) Xterra 14’ Inflatable. This touring board is good to keep around in case we see a body of water we need to paddle.

3) Beach games. Sometimes the surf is flat or the wind comes up and kicks you out of the water. Cornhole is good for friendly competition and Smashball keeps you on your

toes. It’s actually a fun little workout.

4) Foil Science Boards. I have a 5’8’’ foilboard for prone surfing and a 7’4’’ for SUP. It’s a fun way to cruise around if the wind is up, gets you out of the chop.

5) Laird SUP Paddle. This is one of my race and surf paddles. The van carries five.

6) TREK All-mountain Bike. One of my favorite training tools. It’s full-suspension and great for riding around here.

7) YETI Tundra 125L Cooler. This works for the beach barbeques, doubles as a bench, storage, wetsuit holder—you can even put food into it! It’s massive.

8) Barbeque. We use this as a grill or stove on the road, camping or hanging out at the beach. I mostly boil water and cook carne asada.

9) Surfboard. I carry a shortboard with me at all times just in case there are waves.

10) Laird SUPS. I carry a noserider and the Laird Carbon Surrator, which is a little more of a performance board, because you never know what the conditions call for. I carry quite a few boards; always be prepared if you have the space!

GitHub Introduces Unlimited Private Repositories

GitHub has announced the availability of two new paid GitHub plans (Personal and Organization) with both plans including unlimited private repositories. The GitHub personal paid plan for individual developers costs $7.00/month and the paid plan for organizations costs $9.00 per user/month ($25.00/month for the first five users). There is also a GitHub enterprise plan available for organizations that would like to host code on company servers or on a private cloud with custom security. According to the announcement post, GitHub will continue to be free for public and open source projects.

Image Credit: GitHub

One of the benefits of the new GitHub paid plans is that new private repositories can be created without having to first request permission or approval. Before now, only users of GitHub public plans could create repositories without the need for permission or approval. In addition, the new Organization paid plan is a "per-seat model" which makes it easier for businesses to scale with GitHub and allow more development team members to collaborate privately on company projects via GitHub.

The addition of unlimited private repositories to paid plans is just the latest news from GitHub. Last May, GitHub launched advanced support for Jupyter (formerly IPython) which allows Jupyter users to take advantage of the collaborative features of the GitHub platform and Jupyter notebooks to be rendered in HTML.

In February of this year, the company announced the release of GitHub Enterprise 2.5 and the release of Scientist 1.0, described by GitHub engineer Jesse Toth in the announcement post as a development pattern "to help you rewrite critical code with confidence." This past March, the company added several new features to the GitHub platform to help speed up code reviews and make them more flexible for development teams.

GitHub is going to automatically move all existing paid accounts (Micro to Large) to the appropriate new paid plan. According to the company announcement post, users who were paying for larger plans will receive a prorated credit on their account. Organizations that already have an existing organization plan, can upgrade to the new paid Organization plan with unlimited repositories at any time.

For more information about the GitHub platform and platform pricing, visit https://github.com/pricing.

Day 8: The Inner Smile

Hey again!

Welcome to Day 8. Today is going to be a short lesson, but the exercise is simple and effective, and something that I use all the time.

We often mistake what is going on in the body for who we are. Really, the body is just a reflection – in some ways a shadow – of the processes that are occurring in the mind. Every time we make a facial gesture, for example, a scowl, a look of surprise, or even cringing in disgust, these are correlated with a feeling we experience in the mind.

One of these gestures is a smile. Smiling releases neuropeptides that work to counteract stress. A smile also releases the feel-good neurotransmitters: dopamine, endorphins and serotonin.

However, this correlation goes both ways. We can also generate the feeling of a smile in our mind without actually smiling.

If you close your eyes and imagine yourself smiling (you can really smile if you want to), it’s guide easy to bring to mind the ‘feeling’ of a smile.

This is a meditation practice from the philosophy of Taoism, and the more we practice it, the easier it gets. The great thing about this is that, although we would love to be able to smile brightly, all the time, it’s not always socially appropriate. Fortunately, we can get the sample benefits from this simple inner smile practice.

  1. Practice the inner smile 5 times today.
  2. If you remember the calm pause exercise from yesterday, you can integrate the two, smiling whenever you take a moment to pause between activities.
  3. At the end of the day, write two sentences about how you think the inner smile influenced your mood.

Good luck,

P.S. Get ready for tomorrows lesson where we’re going to be talking about the how to dissolve boundaries between yourself and others.

Are you feeling down? Overwhelmed?

I've teamed up with BetterHelp to offer a FREE 7-Day Online Therapy Trial.

On Pack Promotions

The term is understood as a series of promotional measures or actions on site that the potential buyer may extract from a product’s packing.

The German speaking world often uses the term “free gift promotion”, since the product enclose is considered added value. Most of the time, these promotions are self-adhesive, and may be presented in the form of coupons. There is a difference between product-specific and product-non specific on-pack promotions. Examples of non specific promotions are complementary products. In the music industry, we come across these products on a regular basis. One known example is redeemable coupons for downloadable songs from music portals, which are enclosed with bottled drinks. Depending on the client group, music lends itself as added value. For this purpose, it is possible to target certain groups with appropriate songs from popular artists, but the declaration of rights can be costly.

An alternative are compilations of music that are adequate to the use of the product according to its genre, such as relaxation music for hygiene products, or cool jazz for sophisticated consumer products. Our music library can be licensed for the physical distribution of such products (a circulation of CDs/DVDs or USB sticks will be affixed directly to the product). An interesting alternative is also downloads through promotional codes, such as those that may be redeemed through the product’s site. Just talk to us about an individual license!

Horses are at the heart of most of the 59 children’s novels penned by Marguerite Henry (1902–1997), whose equine protagonists were often based on real-life animals. The author’s stories struck a chord with readers: her King of the Wind won the 1949 Newbery Medal, and Henry also received two Newbery Honors, for Justin Morgan Had a Horse in 1946 and Misty of Chincoteague in 1948. This coming November, Simon & Schuster’s Aladdin imprint will launch a line of deluxe hardcover editions of 20 of Henry’s novels. The books feature a uniform cover look, and many include Wesley Dennis’s original art, digitally refreshed.

The debut books in the line, which will add three titles per season, are King of the Wind, Brighty of the Grand Canyon, and White Stallion of Lipizza. Aladdin is also publishing a series of original middle-grade novels, written by Cathy Hapka, entitled Marguerite Henry’s Ponies of Chincoteague, which starts up in July with Maddie’s Dream and Blue Ribbon Summer.

Henry’s oeuvre has a rather labyrinthine publishing history. According to Jon Anderson, president and publisher of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing, her novels were originally published by Rand McNally. After the company that was then Macmillan (as opposed to the current publisher of that name) purchased Rand McNally’s children’s assets in 1986, Henry’s books were published under Macmillan’s Aladdin imprint until S&S acquired Macmillan in 1994 and folded Henry’s novels into its list.

Henry, who died without heirs in 1997 at the age of 95, left the rights to her work to the University of Minnesota. Several years ago, representatives from the university approached Sterling Lord’s George Nicholson to act as agent for the properties, and he negotiated a deal with S&S that enabled the publisher to reissue the Henry titles in hardcover, including some that had gone out of print; make the backlist available as e-books; and release the new middle-grade novels under the Marguerite Henry banner.

While sorting through Henry’s book contracts, Nicholson learned that the author had always looked out for illustrator Wesley Dennis’s interests. “They had a personal friendship as well as a professional relationship, and their careers intertwined for a long time,” he said. “She shared all royalties from the books with Dennis, which is highly unusual.” S&S’s hardcover repackaging program involves reinstating art by Dennis that had been dropped from some of the paperback editions over the years. The artist’s estate will continue to receive a portion of royalties from those reissues that feature his art.

Refreshing Dennis’s art for the deluxe hardcovers, which include full-color paintings as well as black-and-white illustrations, was a bit tricky, since most of the original art no longer exists. “Dennis was a working artist, and sold most of the art he created,” said Nicholson. In the absence of the original pieces, explained Anderson, “We are cleaning up the artwork digitally to create as clean a scan as we can, working from existing reproductions.”

Three new deluxe hardcover reissues are due in spring 2015: Justin Morgan, Sea Star, and Stormy. And the Marguerite Henry’s Ponies of Chincoteague series will add Hapka’s Chasing Gold in fall 2014 and Moonlight Mile in spring 2015.

“We’ve been publishing these books a long time, and they’ve always been fantastic sellers for us. This seemed like a great opportunity to revisit the publishing program and refresh the books,” said Anderson. “There’s a timelessness about [Henry’s] novels and a timeliness about the appeal of horses that have kept these books perennially fresh.”

Nicholson also credits Henry’s writing skills for her books’ longevity. “I of course reread all of her books in the last few years, and the best way to say it is that there’s a simple craft to these novels,” he said. “Her real characters and real family stories, attention to human behavior, and diligence to detail create a kind of purity – and that is why this body of work has lasted.”

With the increasing popularity of competitive sports among youth, the incidence of sports related injuries to the mouth and face has also seen an increase. The National Youth Sports Foundation for Safety reports that the most common injuries sustained to this region of the body involve the teeth. However, the likelihood of dental injuries during sport participation can be reduced by more than 60 times by simply wearing a mouth guard. Mouth guards cover the upper teeth, minimizing the risk of tooth damage, while also protecting the lips, tongue, and inner-lining of the cheeks.

There are three types of tooth injuries that can occur. Remember in the case of each type of dental injury, it is crucial to properly care for the tooth and seek a dental professional immediately.

• Root fracture, broken tooth, chipped tooth

o Have the individual gently bite down on a towel to stabilize the tooth and reduce bleeding.
o Transport any tooth fragments in milk, saline, or under the individual’s tongue to a dentist immediately.

• Tooth entirely knocked out

o Handle tooth by the crown, not root.
o Gently rinse tooth with water, but do not scrub or sterilize it.
o If possible, place tooth back in socket and have the individual gently bight down on a towel. Otherwise, transport the tooth to a dentist as outlined above.

• Tooth still in socket, but displaced (pushed up, back, or forward).

o Transport the individual to a dentist immediately to increase the chances of tooth survival.

The American Dental Association recommends wearing mouth guards for sports involving high impact or collision, including basketball, boxing, football, hockey, lacrosse, martial arts, skateboarding, soccer, and wrestling. The best mouth guards are custom made by your dentist to ensure proper fit and comfort. At Quail Ridge Dental, we make custom mouth guards that come in a variety of colors and can be personalized with any number and/or team logo.

Remember, damaged teeth do not grow back. Protect your smile – wear a mouth guard!

Academic journal article Child Welfare

New Directions for Kinship Care Policy and Practice: A Position Paper from the Kinship Summit at Albany, New York, September 2016

Academic journal article Child Welfare

New Directions for Kinship Care Policy and Practice: A Position Paper from the Kinship Summit at Albany, New York, September 2016

Article excerpt

Collaborative partnerships are a major factor in achieving positive outcomes for children, youth, and families. They can lead to a common and unified understanding of the needs of children, youth, and families; identification of gaps in services and supports; and coordinated efforts to address those gaps across child welfare and other human and social services. While it is recognized that progress has been made in developing policy and defining standards of practice related to supporting kinship families, there remains a need for continuous assessment of current policy and practice and future directions for enhancing outcomes.

University at Albany, New York State Kinship Navigator, and the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) formed a collaborative partnership to plan and host a Kinship Care Summit in Albany, New York in September 2016.1 The Summit included presentations by authors of kinship manuscripts that were accepted for this special issue. Building on the information shared by authors and reactors to the presentations, the latter half of the Summit was devoted to an examination of selected current kinship care issues. Summit participants worked in groups to discuss the issues and develop recommendations for the future. The focus was on all kinship families-those in which child welfare is involved, and particularly those without child welfare involvement.

The remainder of this paper presents the seven selected issues and related recommendations developed by the participant work groups:

1. Continuity and permanence of kinship care.

2. Child welfare engagement with kinship caregivers.

3. Barriers to transition into public kinship care.

4. Utilization of Voluntary Placement Agreements.

5. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) child-only grants, adoption and guardianship financial supports.

6. Kinship System of Care and Kinship Navigator services.

7. Kinship care research.

There are many important issues related to kinship care policy and practice, that can be considered from many perspectives. This paper represents one perspective for the reader's consideration.

Shared Kinship Care Philosophy and Values

The Summit Work Groups shared a common kinship care philosophy and set of values as a starting point for their discussions on the seven selected kinship care issues. The philosophy and values were centered around understanding the history of kinship care as a child welfare program and service, and principles outlined in the 2000 Report to Congress (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000) that address kinship as a means of achieving child and youth safety, well-being, and permanence. It was acknowledged that much progress has been made in recognizing the importance of kinship relationships as sources of family and child support, a focus of improved policy and practice, and the subject of research over the past 20 years. The goal of the discussions was to develop recommendations that can enhance kinship care policy, practice, and research for the future and for families in all types of kinship family arrangements.

Kin as Family Resources and Kinship Care Arrangements

Child welfare engagement with kin still is evolving. Kinship care policy and practice was preceded by recognition of its historical roots as an informal tradition among many cultural and ethnic communities. Work by several sociologists supported this recognition. Carol Stack's All Our Kin: Strategies for Survival in a Black Community highlighted the value and strength of kinship networks.2 Sociologist Robert B. Hill authored Informal Adoption Among Black Families in 1977.3 Both of these works illustrate early recognition of kin as a family resource that addresses the well-being of children and youth. The impact of social conditions in the 1980s, such as substance use and poverty, on family functioning resulted in an increased need for alternative living arrangements for children and youth. …

Late BAS Statement | What to do, and what are the penalties? – Updated 2018

The responsibilities associated with successfully running a business have never been more extensive or stringent than today. One area which is often put to the ‘back of the pack’ for most is their Business Activity Statement (BAS) and Taxation obligations. However, the ATO do not subscribe to this notion and have prioritised increasing their effectiveness at regulating these lodgements. They have frequently enhanced their penalty system under the Crimes Amendment (Penalty Unit) Bill and from December 2012 these units have increased astronomically by 91%. Therefore, it is more important than ever to make sure you have all your BAS reporting and Tax affairs in order. However, if you have submitted a late BAS statement, here’s what to do.

Income Tax Returns
The 2017 financial year income tax returns prepared by tax agents are due for lodgement by 15 May 2018. There is also a concessional lodgement date of 5 June 2018 extended to entities in non-taxable or credit assessment positions. However, an exception to this are entities who have previously lodged tax returns late and are required to lodge by 31 October 2017; or entities whose previous year taxation assessment resulted in a tax payable amount exceeding $20,000 (this excludes companies) and have a 31 March 2018 lodgement date.

Business Activity Statements (BAS’s)
Quarterly BAS’s are due for lodgement the 28th day following the respective BAS period (e.g. March 2018 Quarter BAS’s are due 28 April 2018). However, if lodged through a BAS agent you will be granted an extended due date of the 25th day two months following the respective BAS period (e.g. March 2018 Quarter BAS’s are due 26 May 2018). Businesses lodging Monthly BAS’s have a due date of 21st day following the BAS period and do not receive the extended due date concessions afforded to Quarterly lodgers. If you are currently lodging BAS’s on a monthly-basis and wish to change to quarterly reporting for the convenience and extended lodgement periods, you must have sales turnover less than 20 million and contact the ATO to make the switch as long as they haven’t previously determined you must lodge monthly for other reasons.

If any of the above mentioned due dates are breached, you may be subject to the ATO’s penalty system for which they issue Penalty Units (currently $210 per unit) depending on the infraction and period outstanding. ‘Failure to lodge’ penalties are calculated based on the size of the entity and each 28-day period the tax return or BAS statement is overdue. ‘Small Entities’ which have a turnover of less than 1 million are issued one penalty unit per period overdue which is capped at a maximum of five penalty units being $1,050. ‘Medium Entities’ which have a turnover of 1 million and below $20 million or have PAYG withheld amounts totalling between $25,001 and 1 million in a previous year (medium withholders) are issued two penalty units per periods overdue. ‘Large Entities’ with a turnover of 20 million and above or PAYG withheld amounts totalling 1 million in a previous year (large withholders) are issued five penalty units per periods overdue. In addition to this the ATO applies a general interest charge (GIC) for any unpaid tax liability or BAS statements from the date it was due to be paid until which time the amount in question is settled (including the associated penalties and interest charges).

The ATO generally does not apply penalties in isolated cases of late lodgement where an entity has maintained a good lodgement history. Also, if you were subject to extenuating circumstances impacting your ability to lodge (i.e. natural disaster or serious illness) you can apply to have the penalty and interest charges remitted. If neither of the above applies then you will need to lodge and pay your Income Tax Return or BAS Statement (including any penalty and interest) as quickly as possible. If you are unable to make immediate payment then it is in your best interests to enter into a payment arrangement with the ATO which can avoid or reduce your penalty consequences, however general interest charges will still be applied.

Beeshee Pancakes

Beeshee Pancakes
  • Cook Time
  • Prep Time
  • 8Servings

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, plus more for serving (or substitute honey for serving)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter, melted

Using a standing electric mixer, mix together the flour, sugar and salt. With the machine on, slowly drizzle in 1 cup warm water. Knead until a smooth dough forms, about 5 minutes. With oiled hands, divide the dough into 8 equal balls and place on an oiled baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

Oil a large, clean, cool work surface. Roll out 1 dough ball into a very thin disk (8- to 9- inch diameter). Brush the dough with butter. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter (both top third and bottom third over the middle). Then fold into thirds again from the sides, so that you end up with a small square packet (2 1/2 to 3 inches). Brush with butter and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, working with 1 packet at a time, gently roll out the dough into a 6-inch square. Brush with butter, place on the griddle and fry, turning once, until golden and with some lightly browned spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with sugar (or drizzle with honey) and serve. Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
