What it is: Workout for back, butt, hips, legs, shoulders
What it’s for: Back, butt/hips, legs - thighs, shoulders, full Body
Fitness level: Intermediate
Fitness goal: Workout
Equipment needed: Medicine ball

How to do it:
1. Starting Position: Stand with your feet hip-width apart holding a medicine ball with both hands directly in front of your chest; palms facing each other, and elbows fully bent pointing toward the floor.

2. Downward Phase: Shift your hips back and down. This will create a hinge-like movement at your knees. Continue to lower yourself until you feel your heels about to lift off the floor. Try to maintain a flat back by bending forward at the hips. Keep your head directly facing forward. Shoulder blades are pulled down and back and the abdominal / core muscles are engaged to brace your torso and support your spine. Reach the medicine ball back between your legs to prepare to bring it up overhead in a rapid motion.

3. Upward phase: Swing the medicine ball up and over your head, bending at the elbows to take the ball back behind your head and neck. AT THE SAME TIME straighten your knees and hips, rolling up on your toes. The torso is leaning back and the hips are pushing forward to lengthen the abdominal muscles. Keep the abdominal muscles bracing throughout the movement to ensure spinal stability.

4. Explosively bring the ball back over your head to throw it directly down into the floor while dropping your weight back into your hips. As you throw the ball down, make sure you are keeping the abdominals braced, hinging from the hips to maintain spinal stability.

5. Exercise Variation: Use a bouncing medicine ball to throw it straight down and have the ball bounce back up into your hands to perform continuous repetitions. If using a bouncing medicine ball make sure that you have ample space for safety; if you are using a non-bouncing medicine ball (a "dead" ball) make sure you are on a solid, stable floor that can support the force of the weight being thrown explosively into the floor.

10 Items That Should Be on Your Fall Maintenance Checklist

Hallelujah! Summer is coming to an end and the kids are back in school, leaving you much more time to tackle projects put on the back burner. But before you get out the spackle and paint, think about the changing weather and prioritize.

Consider these 10 Fall Maintenance Items that promise to make winter more pleasant and prevent some nasty surprises when spring comes around.

1) Stabilize Gas when Stowing Your Mower

When your mower sits unused for months with gas in its tank, the gas will slowly deteriorate and damage the internal parts of the mower. To prevent this and keep idle gas in good condition over the winter, add fuel stabilizer to your gasoline and run the mower for approximately 5 minutes to be sure the stabilizer reaches the internal components. Another option you have is to run your mower dry before stowing it.

2) Remove Garden Hoses from Outdoor Faucets

Winter in Sacramento is no stranger to freezing temperatures, especially at night. Before the weather gets too cool, remove garden hoses from outdoor faucets to prevent water from backing up in the faucets and plumbing pipes inside the exterior walls. The cold weather can freeze the sitting water, thus expanding and cracking the faucet and pipes.

3) Drain Your Irrigation System

Piggybacking off of checklist item 2, water can freeze, expand and crack other stuff around your property. Buried irrigation lines with water sitting inside can freeze, leading to busted pipes and broken sprinkler heads to take care of in the Spring. If your don’t have drain valves, hire in irrigation professional to blow out the pipes with compressed air.

4)  Seal the Exterior

Its amazing what just a little caulking can do. Seal up cracks between trim and siding, windows and door frames and where pipes and wires enter your house. This prevents moisture from getting inside and air from leaking outside. Be sure to caulk on a day where temperatures are above 50 degrees, so the caulk flows easily out of the tube.

5) Clean Your Gutters

Clogged gutters can lead to trapped water, sagging and ice dams. Remove leaves, twigs and gunk; tighten gutter hangers and downspout brackets; and replace any worn or damaged gutters and downspouts.

6) Inspect Your Roof

Eyeball your roof to look for warning signs, including shingles that are buckled, cracked or missing, rust spots on flashing and black algae stains. Masses of moss and lichen is a big warning sign that the roofing is possibly decaying underneath. You should also immediately replace any loose, damaged or missing shingles.

7) Direct your Drainage

Make sure waste water is draining away from your foundation to prevent cracks and leaks from happening. A good rule of thumb is to make sure your soil slopes away from your house at least 6 vertical inches over 10 feet.

8) Check / Tune Up Your Furnace

Before you start using your furnace religiously, schedule an appointment with a heating and cooling professional to get your furnace inspected. The furnace filters should also be replaced.

9) Prune Plants

In order to prevent moisture from dripping onto roofing and siding, trim limbs and branches at least 3 feet from your house. Pruning will help remove dead and diseased wood to keep plants healthy with good air circulation.

10) Give Your Fireplace a Once-Over

Before heavy use, take a flashlight and look up inside your fireplace to make sure the damper opens and closes properly. It is not uncommon to see birds’ nests, branches, leaves and other obstructions blocking air from getting out of the top of the chimney. Also, be sure to check for cracked or missing bricks and mortar.

8 Tips to Keep Your Home Cleaner Longer

Have no fear! Your cleaning tips are here!

These spring/summer cleaning tips will save you a ton of time.

1) Keep Your Home’s Humidity Level at 40-50% to Defy Dust

Low humidity levels causes static electricity which attracts dust, and high humidity is an ideal environment for dust mites. Keep your home’s humidity level at a sweet spot between 40% and 50%. You can also defy dirt and dust by placing a bristly doormat at every entrance to the house.

2) Apply a Rain-Repellent designed for Windshields to Keep Shower Doors Scum-Free

Rain-repellent products made for car windshields do wonders to glass. These solutions create an invisible barrier which allows water, oils and soap suds to bead and roll off, leaving the glass clean and crystal clear. When the water stops beading and rolling off the glass, you’ll know its time to reapply.

3) Seal Your Porous Stone Countertops

Coffee, red wine, or juice can easily stain granite and marble countertops that are not sealed. Similar to the rain-repellent, countertop sealer can prevent stains by causing spills to bead instead of getting absorbed into the porous stone. When the liquid stops beading or doesn’t stay beaded for 2 to 3 minutes, you’ll know its time to reapply.

4) Use Protectants on Furniture and Carpets

We need the bead! Other materials around the house need sealants to help guard against spills as well. Protective furniture sprays and carpet sealants cause liquids to bead on the surface instead of being absorbed and staining the material. Be sure to apply the appropriate sealer especially after a deep upholstery or carpet cleaning.

5) Clean Your Oven the Old-Fashioned Way

Fancy oven cleaners that promise to get the job done give off nauseous fumes and make a mess. Go old school, and use a wet pumice stone to scrape off dirt and grease. It is a quicker non-toxic clean up, leaving both you and the oven healthy and happy.

6) Do Quick Touch-Ups Around the House

Consistently cleaning small spots and spills around the house can prevent smudges from staining, banish dust bunnies and even combat allergens. You can also keep stored items cleaner by shutting closets, cabinet doors and drawers so dust and dirt can’t get in.

7) Re-Arrange Your Furniture

Furniture that is directly against your walls can easily lead to marks and smudges. Avoid this by moving your furniture approximately 6 inches from your walls. It will prevent these marks from happening and give you easier access to clean dusty corners.

Sell Your Home for Top Dollar

Would You Like to See Your Home Sold for Top Dollar?

We all want to get the most out of our investments. There are a couple ways of making sure you get that top dollar offer. The answer is in our time tested strategies that we know to work over and over again. This will give you the edge over your competition.

1. Staging

Staging is the most important thing you could do to make your home feel warm and cozy the second the buyers walk in. Better yet lets get the buyers excited right as they pull up into their perfect future homes driveway they feel the homiest of feelings,to help build a stronger first impression you should be working hard to improve your home’s curb appeal.

Next move inside and stage each space by creating a focal point and a story for each room. A set dining table, a Magazine on the coffee table, or a game in the kids room are all simple examples of staging. There are a numberless amount of different designs out in this wonderful world. Places to get some ideas would be Pinterest, Youtube, and your friends on Facebook.

2. Welcome the Honest Opinions of Others

Often times buyers and agents will comment on your home what they loved and occasionally they comment with what they would like to see changed. This is where you should open your mind to various different ideas and act on the most logical improvement that will bring the most to your investment.

These are marvelous people who want YOUR home and they will often say ideas that would make them feel more attracted to your home. Just remember you will not be living with the improvement so you do not have to love the idea personally, sellers should always come forward with an open mind. The goal is to close your deal for top dollar.

3. Deciding Upon a Realtor ®

As stated by the National Association of Realtors, nearly two-thirds of the people surveyed who sell their own homes say they wouldn’t do it again themselves. Primary reasons included setting a price, marketing handicaps, liability concerns, and time constraints.

When deciding upon a Realtor ®. Be as wary of quotes that are too low as those that are too high. Every Realtor ® are different in the way they work sellers need to find one that works for them! A professional Realtor ® has experience and knows everything they need to know about your current listings, a marketing plan, and will provide their background and references. Evaluate each agent thoroughly on their experience, qualifications, enthusiasm and personality. Be sure you choose someone that you trust and feel confident that they will do a excellent job on your behalf.

If you choose to sell on your own, you can still talk to a Realtor ® . Many are more than willing to help do-it-your-selfers with paperwork, contracts, etc. and should problems arise, you now have someone you can readily call upon.

If you would like to learn more about ways to get your home sold for top dollar I would love sit down and talk one on one about our strategy to make this process a breeze, whether your selling in one month or one year there’s never a wrong time to start. From First Time Buyers to Luxury Estates, you can be sure that your transaction will be at the top of our agenda and you will be shocked how easy me and my team can make this heart warming process for you and your family.

Spring Cleaning

Wow....Seriously... Wow...

That last post was like giving birth...I gave birth to sweet little soulful words that immediately multiplied and came right back into my nest. You are enriching our journey in ways you couldn't imagine. Each comment and message you leave is read, cherished, and stored for future strength.

Words rock my World...

And the fact that my little dude has yet to reciprocally experience their beauty is mildly ironic to me. Ironic in a "I can't wait" kind of way. Communication...self-expression, reading and writing are all little poshly decorated rooms in my soul... And I can't wait for Greyson to take a tour.

<span class=
Twice weekly one-hour speech therapy sessions feels a little like shoe shopping to me. Love hearing my boy say words. If you have questions about your child's speech, behavior or development, email the FAMOUS--Teacher Amy at The T.A.L.K. Team. They are passionate about what they do there, and happy to help you:

I rarely ever take a step back from a project.. from editing a picture...or from painting words on the canvas of a post...and say, "Yes....I am done...that is finished. I like that." But I felt that way Sunday as I was putting final flourishes on my Pot of Gold.

Are you like that? You strive for perfection, and anything less than that, therefore, gets defined as failure. Let's make a pact. Let's have 2012 be a year of growth, and a year of real. Perfect is so twenty-eleven. Less than perfect but still ROCKING it-- is the latest trend in self-love, I say.... It's pretty clear we aren't capable of perfect here on Earth....yet we still strive for it because we think that's what makes us good... and then we fail to achieve we just end up feeling bad.... Hmm... Yes, it's time to Spring Clean that right outta here.

What else to you want to Spring Clean out of your life? Let me know. Sometimes telling a friend forces you to be accountable.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't reach for the stars and try to like mad to do our very best on every given day- and expect the best from others...but we need to judge ourselves less....forgive ourselves more.
Sometimes we need to get out of our own way-- and use hope, not feelings of inadequacy for fuel.

Less Black and White. More Grey.

On Sunday, we took a family trip to Trader Joe's to stock up for the week. I wish I would have take Efficient Grocery Shopping 101 in College-- going to 3-4 different stores each week gets a little much...For my current life, that would have been much more practical than Micro-economics. As we were checking out Greyson was-- for lack of a better term, whining in an almost grunty way- because he wanted a Lara Bar that was out of his reach in the cart... I got on his eye level and I told him, "You need to tell me what you want, Greyson...use words." He told me, "I want bar." The check-out lady asked if he wanted a sticker and I said "Sure." She put the sticker directly on him and he didn't like that, so he started to whine again....The lady turned to me and she asked, "Is he Autistic?"

My heart stopped....My head said, "Say yes, you must not be ashamed to say yes...You now know he is...if you delay a micro-second longer it is as if you are embarrassed of your son --and you are not. You are proud. Say yes. Claim your son."

He makes my heart flow over with your babies make you feel.

With false confidence I said, "Yes." She said, "I teach a couple of Autistic kids." Then there was silence. No other sound but the beeping as each item's UPC code slid across the scanner. I wait an hour-long second and I ask, "What grade do you teach?" thinking surely this conversation has a middle, possibly even an end and braided somewhere throughout- a point. "7th & 8th"...beep...beep....beep.... I turn my eyes toward Michael in confusion and then sadness ...thinking- "Help. Not ready to have this odd conversation so soon. Not ready."

Urging Michael-- with my eyes -to make sense of the exchange for me.... We go to the car in silence...I am...confused?.... Is that "Awareness" I ask myself? If that was awareness...It felt... bad. I thought I wanted awareness...

It was like when change your hair and someone says, "Did you get your hair cut?" and you say, "Yes" and then they don't say a thing...

Except it wasn't my was my Bitty Soul, Greyson.

It was then I realized, I want more than Awareness...I want Awareness and nice. It's funny, before I was the Mother of an Autistic child...(see I am practicing at saying that)... I wouldn't have known the "right" things to say to a Mother of a "Different" kid. I would be worried I would say the wrong things, just like some of you have expressed to me...but here's what I've learned....The people who are sweet and kind and worried that they will say the "wrong thing" are never the people who actually do say the wrong things. I don't have pet peeves that I know of...The term "special needs" annoys me....but if you use it when taking your sweet and precious time to talk to me about my son- it doesn't annoy me when you say it- only when I think it. Make sense? I hope so. Every parent of a "different" kid is also different! I can't speak for all of us, but that's how I feel. Maybe you feel the same..maybe not, and that's OK too.

My heart swelled with pride when a dear friend sent me this picture from the hospital...She is telling her new baby girl about Greyson and she is already teaching her baby about awareness and nice.

I have heard from some Mom's that they don't like to say they are "fixing" their Spectrum Kid... I totally get that, and appreciate why that analogy might make you feel bad. You love your Bitty- just the way they are.

(And by the way-- there isn't really an actual "Spectrum"! How weird is that?! You don't get coordinates...The Doctor didn't tell me- "Greyson is Autistic and he is Green F-11 on the Spectrum". It's mostly just a concept of varying behaviors to varying different degress. Crazy, I know.)

Anyway, I do think of it as "fixing" Grey, because that is what works for me...that motivates me. If he had a wonky tooth, I would get it fixed...and he has Wonky Neurons, so I am fixing that too- in ways that I can.  And just to keep it real, my son doesn't always look engaged and Angelic...

Although it's gotten so much better due to ABA and Speech, sometimes he looks like this...

And sometimes he does this...

Because he is frustrated or overwhelmed.... I must fix that. Even looking at these pictures hurts me.

My beloved Parker turned 11 months...

Oh Parker, you should just see the way you look at your big brother. You and your dad have this special language and you guys seem to have actual conversations. You are so energetic, happy and give smiles freely. You wave and clap after we do- and that motor immitation makes this Momma's heart feel at ease. Your top two teeth made their appearance this month. You teach me so much ... so much about flexibility and about unconditional love in your World free of stereotypes. I love you.

Happy Spring. Thank you for sharing this blog with your Friends. You can find me on Facebook or send me an email at

  1. Smiles! When I see you have a post I always save it for last b/c I know it'll be my favorite!!

    1. Ohhh! That is the best compliment ever! Hey! It's back to just you and me :-)

LinkedIn Link Building Group

January 6  |  Link Building, News  |   Ryan Clark

I’ve been using LinkedIn a lot lately and started up the first link building group on LinkedIn and would like anyone who wants to join up come on over. It’s always hard starting groups or forums like this up but I hope I can get something decent going. So far I’m all by myself in there talking to a wall so if anyone has the time and wants to, spread the word. I’ve almost given up trying to promote the Link Building Forums because I keep getting hit with Xrumer and other lovely forum spamming bots, so this seemed like the next step. You can search for the group once logged in or follow the link here.

This, in turn, helps you expand your reach on the Web and earn a lot of leads.Everyone is victimisation content promoting straight away and firms that square measuren’t ready to form and distribute high-quality content are missing out on a large quantity of traffic and success.

It’s virtually not possible to write targeted content. Companies that produce effective web log content, commercials, or podcasts know precisely WHO their target market is and what those folks care regarding and will therefore deliver targeted, quality content that their customers find fascinating, engaging and exciting.The first step in your content creation efforts is to outline your target market. To do this, you’ll need to sit down with a chunk of paper (or use a web example, if you prefer) and think regarding your audience. Who square measure they? wherever do they live? however recent square measure they? however abundant cash do they make? What do they care regarding (social, cultural, environmental, financial, or personal issues)? What problems square measure they facing? For associate example, consider these examples from HubSpot. Once you’ve answered these questions, the next step is to search out out where your target market hangs out. Do they read blogs? If therefore, when and however often? perhaps they like Facebook or Twitter. Maybe they love podcasts. No matter what their unique preferences square measure, you need to understand this stuff regarding them to tailor your content strategy to them (more on this later). Search Engine Journal offers an awe-inspiring tutorial for this method that ought to be terribly useful to inexperienced or first-time content creators.Combine all of these answers into one specific promoting persona. Give him or her a name and a photograph if it helps build the person feel a lot of real. You can produce extra client personas as required, but for currently, you can specialize in writing all of your content for that one person. Doing this will facilitate guarantee your content is targeted, useful and fascinating to your customers.
You know WHO you’re writing for, now let’s speak regarding why you’re writing for them. Is the purpose of your website to drive sales? Is it to earn leads or drive social shares? notwithstanding what your content marketing goals square measure, defining them in clear terms can facilitate you target your content a lot of effectively. According to MarketingProfs, the basic content marketing goals square measure as follows:
Business Value

    I tried, but then neither the embedded platform or my linux PC could access the router at all.

    How are you sending the password? Are you using a connection manager GUI? Or do you use a configuration file?

    Sorry, I don't get what you mean. The embedded platform (or Linux PC) etc are not sending any passwords for as far as they are concerned they are using wired (to the switch) which is connected to the WAP. The WAP is in client mode, so it is permanently paired with the router having already done the shared key thing. I can access the router and WAP using their admin web pages. The embedded platform output I access using a UART socket on the back of the platform, having flashed it with a rom image. There is no UI (not yet) for the embedded platform, just serial access which gives me a command prompt (like telnet) once the boot process has completed. I think the embedded platforms boot process first probes the buses to see what hardware devices are there and installs the relevant drivers (inc ethernet) and at this point the dhcp discover packet is sent out, much later of does the root file system get loaded so anything I set in the file system will have no effect until after the dhcp request goes out.

    I guess I got WAP confused with WEP.

    WAP = Wireless Access Point
    WEP = Wired Equivalency Protocol, a basic encryption method used for wireless passwords.

    So this is an open wireless access point?

    I guess my knowledge of embedded Linux isn't good enough to help you with this problem (I know zero about embedded Linux).

    Please do not send Private Messages to me with requests for help. I will not reply.

    No worries - thanks for trying though. I'm learning this whole thing as I go, so I'm sure to be using all sorts of wrong terminology.

    Its not an open WAP, its connection with the router is WPA (?) protected.

    Perhaps I'll try in an embedded forum - wasn't really sure where to ask - wireless, networking or embedded being as it touches all of them.

  7. #16
    For a WPA encrypted connection you need to use wpa_supplicant. This involves creating a wpa_supplicant.conf file containing all of the needed information. It is usually found in the /etc or /etc/wpa_supplicant/ folder. If the wireless worked on a different network, then you may need to configure it for the new network.

    the problem I see is that you are using 1 a wireless dsl modem and 2 a wireless access point and your systems are trying to connect to the wap or switch.

    using 2 wireless communications devices like this poses a problem as the computers will connect to the downstream device and wont communicate with the adsl

    If you want to use the wap you need to hardwire the wap (ethernet cable to the adsl modem) then disable or remove the antenna from the adsl modem.
    then your computers should dhcp to the wap and should work ok

  9. #18
    I thought the whole point of using a WAP in client mode was so that you could have a wired network beyond it. Wireless ADSL router to wireless access point in client mode then wired on to a swtich for all other devices. The whole set up does work for most platforms I am using - Linux PC, Windows PC, so the process must be ok, it is just not working for an embedded platform and that is what I cannot understand.

Wedding Wednesday!

Little Bit of Class Little Bit of Sass

Happy Wednesday everyone!
It's time to link up with me and Kristyn from Chits & Giggles!

We are really getting things together! Next week we're going to Ohio, too, so I am very excited to update our checklist after that trip!

I had a little bit of fun with my bridesmaids this week.

I've been toying with different ideas for bridesmaids gifts, and after being in 7 weddings myself I have a good idea of what I want to give to my girls.

However, I didn't want to blatantly ask them detailed questions to potentially give away what gifts I could get them.

Instead, I asked a series of random questions, relevant or not, just for fun. The girls loved it and their answers were awesome! They totally helped to give me ideas about their gifts!

Here they are, in case you want to do the same! I of course added some sassy remarks in brackets. One of my 'maids is engaged and she said she wants to do the same thing!

  • What is your favorite color?
  • Long walk on the beach or snuggle by the fire?
  • Cat or dog?
  • What is your favorite movie?
  • Go-to cocktail? [it's OK if it's beer. You know I'm all about my Guinness.]
  • What is your favorite memory from the 90s?
  • NSYNC or Backstreet? [It's OK to lie to me if your truth is the WRONG answer]
  • What is your favorite food?
  • What is your middle name?
  • If you could travel anywhere - right this second! - where would you go? [For example, my head tells me to travel back home and go back to bed, whereas the flannel shirt I'm wearing says that I should go for a hike and eat s'mores. Mmmm...s'mores...]
  • What is your favorite candy?
  • In terms of jewelry, do you prefer to go dainty and simple or make a statement?
  • What is your favorite sports team?
  • Polka dots or stripes?
  • Would you say that you have more of a trendy or preppy style?
  • Do you have a favorite pizza? [Trust me, I know it's hard to choose. Feel free to take your time on this one.]
  • What is your shoe size?
  • Guilty pleasure TV show?
  • Guilty pleasure song/artist to sing in the car? [Back in the day when I drove a bunch mine was Jessica Simpson "With You" and Mandy Moore "Candy". Judge away. I deserve it.]
  • What is your fitted t-shirt size?
  • How do you take your coffee?
  • What would you do with 15 minutes of fame?
  • Do you have a quote that you live by? [It can be funny or real. Mine is "Go big or go home," for example.]
  • What is your favorite thing to do on a Friday night?
  • What is your favorite thing to cook or bake?
  • What song(s) make you crazy dance?
  • Are you smiling right now?

  • It was so fun to read their answers!

    Did you have a tough time narrowing down your bridesmaid gifts? There are so many things out there to do and I love the ladies so much that it's easy to get carried away!

    Please link up any wedding-related post below! :)

    Miss MP said...

    What a creative ideas! Love it.

    Kristyn said...

    And I am stealing this right now. Yep! So genius! I can't wait to read the answers. HAHA!

    Stephanie said...

    That is so smart! And the BSB vs NSync, hilarious!

    Meghan said...

    Love this idea! I'll definitely be doing something different for each one. They have such diverse personalities, it's hard to confine their gifts!

    faithprovides said...

    I am doing a series of bridesmaid gifts throughout different seasons. I have lots of ideas for them. I did the questionnaire for the groomsmen though! I'm getting all the groomsmen a bag full of cool gifts.. I know the bride typically doesn't give groomsmen presents, but they are all my fiances brothers and dad, so this will double as Christmas presents too (: Plus I just love giving gifts!!

    According to Jax said...

    Where in Ohio are you going????? Cincinnati??? :)

    Raewyn @ Be A Warrior Queen said...

    What a creative Idea!!! I am going to have to do the same. I've never been in a wedding so I am clueless!

    Meg said...

    Oh my gosh, I love this idea and your blog! I actually just asked all of my ladies to be bridesmaids (and will be linking up about that tomorrow :) ). So glad I found you and happy to be your newest follower!

Thursday, 11 June 2009

I long while ago I received a Fabulous Blog award from Zooarchaeologist at At the time I didn't pass it on because I was new to blogging and hadn't really found my feet or discovered enough blogs that I was really enjoying. Beingamummy was the first blog I ever read, long before I started to blog myself and it has never failed to make me smile. It remains the first feed I click on whenever I logon, having a magnetic pull that screams out 'read me now.' Do check it out.

I'm telling you this because Coding Mamma over at (a humorous and insightful blog about parenting) recently gave me another award called the Lovely Blog Award and this time it I will pass it on. I would have liked to pass on the nice little picture that always accompanies these awards but somehow when I tried to copy it over I copied almost the whole of Coding Mamma's blog. I'm pretty sure that that would have counted as plagerism so no picture I'm afraid.

So here goes;

I am passing the award on to

1. This is a lovely blog about gardening with children which always has a bit of humour.

2&3. and Two more great blogs about gardening with children

4. For anyone serious about gardening this has some great tips and I often use it as an easy read guide to how I should be doing things.

5. I was introduced to this one very recently and it really made me laugh. Do take a look.

6. A lovely gardening blog which I visit for the photos.

There are no 7-10 I am afraid as I am still finding my way in the blogging world and while I hope to stumble across more great reads, these are the most lovely blogs I have so far discovered. To accept the award you must post about it on your blog, pass it on to 10 newly discovered blogs you enjoy and then tell us your 5 pet hates and in the spirit of the award here are my 5 pet hates;

1.People talking on their mobile phones while they are being served in shops.

2. People who use their toes to pick things up. It makes my toes curl.

3. Slugs and wasps. Really, what is the point of them?

4. People who do not know how to, or cannot be bothered to indicate at roundabouts.

5. Escalators. This is more of a totally irrational fear than a pet hate but I dislike them all the same.

  1. Thankyou GardenMom, what a lovely surprise. Will look at passing on awards to blogs I like soon.

    Don't you just love tinyartdirector! Makes me smile.

  2. I agree! And some great blogs I have never read before, so thank you. I am worried, though about my tiny plot - make sure you don't take all her advice blithely. She hasn;t been gardening for very long, and has made some bad mistakes in some of the advice she gives, paricularly with regard to pricking out tomato seedlings, when she showed a photo of her gripping the poor little plant by the stem! Good photos, and whoever designed her garden has done a good job. But I always feel compelled to warn people that anyone can write a garden just doesn;t mean everything they say is right!

  3. Oh, thank you so much! I do so love following your adventures with your tots, so it is a big honor to get this notice from you. I hope you have a lovely day in the garden!

  4. oh! thank you so muc!! I am sorry this took a bit for me to find - but I was so pleasantly surprised. Thank you again.

  5. Hello I just read your comment on my posting for Fennel and Fern. You may like to visit my own blog too.
    I also have a website directed at school gardening that may have some ideas for things to do on the plot with your little ones - although they may need to grow a little first!

  6. Thanks for your hydroponics garden news blog. I enjoy it very much. Were a usa and worldwide provider and we loved your article, so well put it on our blogs associated with out site

Everyone on the Lusitania's last voyage, including passengers and crew.

Michael O'Neill

Michael O'Neill

About Michael

Michael O'Neill was born at Wexford, County Wexford, Ireland in 1871, the son of Michael and Mary O'Neill.

He engaged as a fireman in the Engineering Department on board the Lusitania, at Liverpool, on the 12th April 1915, at a monthly rate of pay of £6-10s-0d, (£6.50p.). and was killed when she was sunk.  He was aged 44 years.

His body was never found and identified afterwards and consequently, he is commemorated on the Mercantile Marine War Memorial at Tower Hill, London.

His brother, John O’Neill, of William Street, New Ross, County Wexford, who was a baker in the town, made frantic enquiries with Cunard in an effort to trace his brother, but without success.  Another brother resided in Wexford town.

'Super Star Fucker - Andy Warhol Text Painting', Peter Davies

Acrylic on canvas, 254 x 213 cm

Peter Davies was born in Edinburgh in 1970. He studied at the University of Brighton 1989-92 and Goldsmiths' College 1994-96. While at Goldsmiths' he was included in three group exhibitions at Lost in Space, London, and in 1997 he appeared in 'Sensation' at the Royal Academy.

He has since shown regularly in London and in New York, Los Angeles, Brazil and Scandinavia, including one-person shows in London at the Approach 1998 and Gagosian Gallery 2001.“For some years I have been making text paintings alongside abstract paintings.

Both types feed off and inform one another. The text paintings offer a playful and humorous take on my attempts to understand art history and contemporary art.In contrast to how text has often been used in contemporary art, most notably with conceptualism, I want my paintings to be visually seductive and enjoyable to look at, and whilst being serious, to convey a sense of fun and mischief.I have made text paintings on various themes, such as 'A to Zs' and 'Top 100s' of my favourite artists in different categories.

This painting was inspired by seeing the recent large Warhol show in Berlin and is one of a series where I have taken one key figure as a starting point and made a painting which resembles a flow chart or mind map.

I am interested in the formal, visual result which comes from this way of organising information as a painting, and how by having words which make reference to the history of art can heighten the 'content' of a painting.I want to make paintings that combine the sensuality and beauty of formalism with the humour and toughness of conceptualism.

The Real Prime Minister of Britain in 1894

When writing historical fiction, there is a cautious line between fiction and fact. There are some historical people that cannot be ignored in my stories, yet even as I attempt to portray details of their lives accurately in my characters, at some point my assumptions of their personality takes over and they are characters of my imagination and are no longer the real person.

Queen Victoria is certainly an example, and the First Minister, the Earl of Roseberry is another.

In my series, I take certain facts about the person, then create my own character, which is not the real person, but only a character inspired by certain details that intrigued me.

Today, I would like to share the real facts that led to the creation of my character playing the part of First (Prime) Minister of Britain in 1894.

True Facts of The Earl of Roseberry

Archie was a goal oriented Scotsman. Early in life he set upon 3 goals:
1) To marry an heiress
2) To win the Derby
3) To become Prime Minister

He achieved all three.
1) He married not just an heiress, but the richest heiress in Britain: Hannah, the only child of the Jewish banker, Baron Mayor de Rothschild.
He described her to a friend as: "Very simple, very unspoilt, very clever, very warm hearted and very shy."  Clearly, he was in love...with the word 'very'. And in case you are wondering, they had a Christian wedding.

He was also hounded by the obnoxious John Douglas, the Marquess of Queensbury, who accused Archie of having a bi-sexual affair with his male secretary, Francis Douglas  (who had the misfortune to be one of John's sons). I'll discuss this Jerk in a later post. Right now, let's return to Archibald, the Earl of Roseberry.

Archie's second goal was to win the Derby.
Through his marriage to Hannah, he acquired some very fine race horses. With her money, he extended his stables. While he had winning horses in many prestigious races, he won the Epsom Derby three times: In 1894 he won with Ladas, 1895 with Sir Visto, and then after a ten year drought, 1905 with Cicero

His final goal was also achieved along side his first two Derby wins. In 1894, he became First Minister (Also known as Prime Minister) and held the title for a bit in 1895 as well.

Can you imagine succeeding at such impressive goals? Thus, I made my  First Minister intolerably arrogant. But honestly, how could he not feel pride and arrogance? He had set high goals and achieved them beyond belief.

In real life, Archie's time as the First Minister was considered a failure and he quickly grew disenchanted with his position. He and his cabinet resigned in June 1895 and allowed the other party to take over.

In the next book of my series, Archie resigns a bit earlier, and a fabricated minister not resembling any real prime minister takes over. This is necessary because the new minister is very bad and does shocking things that I hope no real minister has ever done. However given England's lack of protection of young girls, it is not beyond the credibility of belief that such a thing could happen. So in book 4 it does, but in real life there is no evidence that it ever happened. But it is an interesting tale of the difficulties when a man of power loses his mind and does horrible things.

But in book 3, I do incorporate many of the real Earl of Roseberry's astounding achievements into the story. However, my character remains a character and should be read thus.

And now I give you a scene in which Xavier & Archie have breakfast with the Queen:

Queen Victoria first acknowledged the First Minister, but only smiled when her focus turned to Xavier. “Finally, I am to meet Sherlock Holmes.”

Xavier’s jaw locked, preventing him from correcting the woman. Damn Doyle and his fictional character!

“Xavier Thorn,” the earl said.

The Queen ignored her First Minister and remained focused on Xavier. “I am pleased you have indulged me with this early morning breakfast. I wished to give you a more formal reception, but I was told it was inadvisable, although why, I cannot imagine.”

The earl’s owlish eyes fluttered in agitation, but he made no other response.

The Queen took her seat at the head of the table, nearest the fireplace and invited the men to select their breakfasts. One of the many servants brought her a plate.

Once they joined her, the earl to her right, Xavier to her left, she spoke. “While the earl insists I cannot recognize you publicly, I did want to commend you privately on saving all those young people from a life of horror and shame.”

For a moment, Xavier had no idea what she was talking about, but then he realized her error. “I fear you have called the wrong person to court then, ma’am. It is my partner, Victor Hamilton, who deserves the credit for rescuing the hundred servants. I was at death’s door at the time, requiring rescue myself. And due to Your Majesty’s willingness to send troops in to search for the lost servants, Victor gained clues needed to discover my whereabouts before I died from an infected bullet wound.” He then smiled. “So I should thank you for helping Victor save my life.”

The Queen’s eyes rounded at his words. “Well, that is most delightful.” She then glared at the earl. “Why did you not tell me I saved Sherlock Holmes?”

The earl ceased to eat and met her glare. “I was unaware of the connection.”

With a huff of dissatisfaction, she returned to Xavier. “Tell me exactly how I assisted in saving you?”

Xavier ran through the clues left in Dragons Cloud and how Vic had used them to find him in a tenement building nearby.

The Queen then repeated the story to the earl as a statement of fact, leaving no doubt he should have known it before.

Xavier had seen Archie burst into a temper for much less, but he held his tongue admirably.
When she finished her lecture, Archie turned to Xavier and held up his glass of water in a toast. “You’ve trained the fellow most impressively.”

“He’s been exceptionally easy to train. He comes to the trade with natural ability.”

“Tell me about this young man,” the Queen demanded.

“He’s twenty-three years old, educated at Oxford—”
The Queen glanced at the earl. “Oh, that’s much better than Eaton.”

Xavier suspected she meant that as a jab, but Archie had attended both Eaton and Oxford.

“What is his name?” she asked. “Perhaps I know his parents.”

“Victor Hamilton. His parents died in a shipwreck as they traveled from their home in America to England. Madeline Hamilton took in the two children.”

The Queen frowned. “Hamilton…where have I heard that name?”

Archie stabbed a sausage with excessive energy. “She was a leader in the New Woman movement, demanding changes in estates laws and the right for women to vote.”

The Queen pressed her hand to her heart. “Oh dear!” She then looked at Xavier. “But the boy turned out all right, did he not?”

How shocked the Queen would be if she knew the truth. “He’s a very fine young man who has dedicated his life to helping others.”

If you haven't begun this fabulous series, now is a great time to begin.

  1. Fascinating post as always, Liza. I started the series, but had to reluctantly set it aside. Hoping to pick it back up as soon as work lets up. Can't wait to get to this book! I love Xavier and the Queen!

  2. Thanks Jenna. I love when the Queen tells Archie the facts she thinks he should have known.

  3. She seems very interested in Sherlock Holmes. I'm glad Xavier didn't correct her... she might act like a pouty child then. :) At least she was willing to hear that it was her help that saved Xavier.

    I have the first two books but haven't been able to begin yet. They keep me chained to my desk.

  4. Since they are addictive, it's best not to begin when chained to your desk.

My trees are filled with these apples, none quite ripe yet. This morning when I walked the dog at 5:30 AM, loons were calling on the lake, and a large deer in my back yard was startled into bounding away into the meadow beyond. It has been in the 40s at night. Everything feels like fall.

After reading what so many different people have had to say about the NYT article, I'll add just one more thought. Those who feel that once we get kids to "enjoy" reading by way of Gossip Girls and its ilk, they will eventually move on, on their own, to the "classics"----AIN'T. GONNA. HAPPEN.  They will move on to read popular novels, and there is nothing wrong with that. But not one of them will ever voluntarily pick up Joseph Conrad or Henry James or Virginia Woolf.  I never would have --- and I was an avid reader from the start.   I needed the incentive of good teachers, of classroom discussion, of learning to think critically, in order to appreciate classical literature.

No young reader is ever going to leap on his own from Jack Prelutsky to William Butler Yeats. That's what an educational system is for. That's what good teachers do, and why we should pay them more to do it.

School starts this week.  I hope a lot of adolescents are dragged kicking and screaming into a Shakespeare play.

The basic idea of acupuncture is to recover the patient by fully utilizing one's self-healing mechanism. The insertion of fine needles into special points along the meridians can rebalance the body and get rid of disharmonies. The needles stimulate Qi (energy) and blood, and thus regulate the associated internal tissues and organs. The stimulation with the so called tonifying method can restore what is deficient, such as chronic fatigue; the reducing method can remove stagnancies and sedate excessive conditions such as fever, sciatica, or insomnia. Since no material is injected into the patient's body, the side effects can be neglected.

Acupuncture complements the other treatments offered at the London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinics and although it is often used in conjunction with osteopathy, physiotherapy or sports massage, it is an incredibly effective treatment in its own right.
Most people are aware that acupuncture is effective in treating the full range of muscular-skeletal problems, migraine, pre-menstrual syndrome and period pain, but acupuncture is also effective in treating addictions, depression and anxiety, sleeping problems (in adults and children) and many other complaints.

The causes of Infertility and acupuncture?

  • Ovulation factors
  • Cervical/uterine factors
  • Fallopian tube factors
  • Immunology factors or inflammatory factors-both specific and non-specific
  • Endometriosis
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Ovarian Cysts
  • Premature Ovarian Failure
  • Uterine Fibroid Tumors
  • Endocrine Imbalances
  • Luteal Phase Defect
  • Diabetes
  • Elevated FSH
  • Thyroid Disease
  • Stress
  • Lupus
  • Amenorrhea
  • Birth defects-due to fetal development from mother taking DES (diethylstilbestrol)
  • Hyperprolactinemia
  • Advanced Maternal Age
  • Unexplained Infertility
  • Male Factors

  • Major effects of Acupuncture in the treatment of Infertility:

  • Regulates the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis
  • Reduces stress and cortisol levels
  • Increases the thickness of the uterine lining
  • Increases blood flow to the uterus and pelvic region
  • Relaxes the uterus
  • Stimulates ovulation
  • Enhances the immune system
  • Decreases morning sickness
  • Chinese Medicine Impact on Infertility:

    Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine works to enhance both men and women’s fertility by restoring health and balance to the body, mind and spirit. There have been a multitude of research studies in the past decade showing how Acupuncture and TCM increase the success rate of conventional infertility treatments. In fact in the April 2002 issue of Fertility and Sterility, the German study showed that using acupuncture pre and post IVF increased the success rate to 42.5% as opposed to those not using acupuncture at 26.3%. Acupuncture is very effective when combined with assisted reproductive technologies and can also assist in achieving natural pregnancy. For maximum benefits using Chinese medicine, it is recommended that at least 3 months of preconception care as well as doing maintenance treatments post-conception, but please ask our acupuncturists for their opinion of your unique case.

    Our Acupuncturists in Central London:

    Ann Bradford, BAcC, RCHM, M.Sc, Acupuncturist:
    Ann is an experienced practitioner, who has been in practice for well over 20 years.
    She uses acupuncture, Tui Na (Chinese Therapeutic Massage) and Kakapo (Japanese Massage) in her clinic.
    After completing her training in the UK she travelled to China where she worked in a hospital in Nanjing.
    She then worked as acupuncturist in an NHS clinic in the Royal Free Hospital before going into private acupuncture practice.
    For the past 11 years she has been lecturing acupuncture at the University of Westminster, where she is a senior lecturer on the BSc Hons course in acupuncture.
    You will find that many established acupuncturists in London actually are former acupuncture students of Ann.
    She has a wide range of alternative techniques to acupuncture for those children (and adults) who are fearful of needles but still want a complete health care. She enjoys treating a wide range of problems including sports and musculoskeletal injuries.
    She has special interest areas, which include treatment of women's problems (gynecological etc) and treatment of children.

    Neesha Perera, Acupuncturist and Cosmetic Acupuncture:
    Neesha's areas of special interest are in the use of acupuncture for both male/female infertility and for facial revitalisation.
    She has completed relevant postgraduate seminars for infertility (hosted by the Royal College of Physicians).
    Neesha completed her training in facial revitalisation with the author of "Cosmetic
    Acupuncture" and now uses cosmetic acupuncture effectively to improve crows feet, deeper wrinkles, dull complexion, dark circles and sagging facial skin.
    Special equipment is used during the treatments which can also be used to benefit acne, cellulite and to firm abdominal skin after weight loss.
    Neesha takes an approach which works alongside orthodox medicine and whilst her treatments are based on Chinese medicine and tailored to the individual, she will where appropriate use the insights gained from acupuncture research trials to optimize the potential of treatment.
    She combines acupuncture with gua sha (Japanese massage technique) which is very effective for inflammation & muscle spasm.
    Neesha is a registered acupuncturist and has a background in Biomedical Sciences (King’s College London) before completing an acupuncture degree at The London College of Traditional Acupuncture. She pursued further clinical training at a busy acupuncture institution in Sri Lanka and worked at Lambeth NHS Hospital in the award-winning Chinese Medicine center. A variety of conditions were treated there including chronic pain syndromes, menstrual complaints, sports injuries, and migraines.
    She now does acupuncture and cosmetic acupuncture in the Central London Osteopathy and Sports Injury Clinics - she is in the Islington clinic, Pentonville Road near Kings Cross.

Sunday Salon and Doggie Playdates

Today I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird. Why? Because I'm pretty sure I read it in high school, but because I was too busy socializing I don't know for sure. I'm not very far into it since I just started it yesterday, but I'm enjoying it so far.

Want to join in the Sunday Salon fun? click here

What do you think about my new makeover? It's like botox for your blog...a blog-lift, a blog-tuck, a refreshing new look! Much cheaper than the face or body version, though. Erin over at Designer Blogs did it for me. She was great, by the way, and so easy to work with.

The girls (dogs) and I are heading over to Happy Dog Spot for a playdate, and this afternoon Larry and I are going to the Symphony. Larry to the Symphony? I know, someone gave us tickets.

debnance said...

Your blog is stunning. Makes me want to find out who was your plastic surgeon....

SmallWorld at Home said...

To Kill a Mockingbird is my very favorite book ever!

Lynne said...

That's funny debnance :)

SmallWorldatHome: I'm glad to know that. I'm trying to get over the issues I have with forced-reading-for-school and instead actually ENJOY classics!

Frances said...

Looks great here! Just might have to pop over to your designer friend for some help for my blog. Enjoy To Kill a Mockingbird. Happy reading!

Anonymous said...

It's Monday! What are you Reading? / Musing Mondays

Today's Musing Mondays question asks What is your policy when it comes to new authors? Do you feel comfortable purchasing a book or do you prefer to borrow new authors from the library? How often do you 'try out' a new author?

I don't have a policy as far as new authors; if it looks good or if I've heard good things about the book, I'll read it. Finding new great authors is the BEST! I climbed out from under my rock last week and discovered someone named Jane Austen. Heard of her? Sheesh, I know, it was dark under that rock for all those years :) I also recently found another favorite, Augusten Burroughs, who wrote Running with Scissors, which I loved and ended up recently buying A Wolf at the Table. I've got his others on my TBR list as well. So yeah, definitely I will go out on a limb to try new authors. You never know, you may find a gem. On the other hand, two weeks ago from the library I got Little Bird of Heaven by Joyce Carol Oates, whose books I've never read, and ewww, I couldn't finish it. Too slow. Thankfully I didn't spend $26 on that. It's a gamble, what can I say :) Roll the dice, baby. Boy do we readers live on the edge, or what? LOL

It's Monday! What are you Reading? is hosted by J. Kaye. Feel feel to join us by heading over to her blog.

Last week I read Open House by Elizabeth Berg

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Have a Little Faith by Mitch Albom

Right now I'm reading Stray Affections by Charlene Ann Baumbich

This week I plan to read White Oleander by Janet Fitch

A Year by the Sea by Joan Anderson

We are going to California on Friday for Parents Weekend at USC and for the USC game (fun!) so hopefully I'll get lots of reading time in...well, at least on the airplane.

If you want to know my thoughts about the books I've read, you can scroll down my blog and you'll see them.

Hope everyone has a great week of reading!

Marie said...

I somehow couldn't get into Stray Affections, not sure why, maybe it was just an off week for me.

I always love Pride and Prejudice though -- I read it a lot, along with Sense and Sensibility :-)

Creations by Laurel-Rain Snow said...

Wow! You've mentioned several of my favorite books. I've read several by Augusten Burroughs; loved "White Oleander," even before it became an Oprah pick; also enjoyed "Open House," as I enjoy all of Elizabeth Berg's books.

I'm an author you may not have read! LOL.

If you're interested, my website is:

Lynne said...

Oops, answered the wrong week's question for Monday Musings. Oh well!

alitareads said...

I've only recently gotten in to Jane Austen, too. You weren't the only one under that rock!

Here's my Monday Round Up.

J. Kaye said...

What great picks this week!

Jennifer said...

Excellent picks both last week and this week. Happy reading.

Black Soul Choir Lyrics

Artist: 16 Horsepower
Album: Sackcloth 'n' Ashes

ain't none ever seen the face of his foe no
he ain't made of flesh & bone
he's the one who sits up close beside you
an when he's there you are alone
every man is evil yes an every man is a liar
an unashamed with the wicked tongues sing
in the black soul choir
yes an no man ever seen the face of my lord no
not since he left his skin
he's the one you keep cold on the outside girl
he's at your door let him in
o i will forgive your wrongs
yes i am able
an for my own i feel great shame
i would offer up a brick to the back of your head boy
if i were cain

Scum Grief Lyrics

Artist: Swingin' Utters
Album: Swingin' Utters

I try to please them with my way most every day i try to please you while i'm here wasting away i'll promise you a world so wide, love replace my lies in time with truth, love. Access to exits everywhere far and away blueprints of passageways lest i need an escape i need a way out of my life, love some hidden path we take in stride, love. I'm always full of "woe is me" and i'm ashamed don't want to spend my days as some hippocratic slave my field of vision's blurred and blind, love my drinks are always running dry, love. Cautious and apathetic, brutal and in blame my life a straw house in the wake of hurricanes pray you don't upset me or mine, love don't pity vague petty minds, love. Call me pathetic call me a bore you don't even take the time to call me anymore so tired and tragic squalid and vain sometimes i swear i don't even remember my name.

Wild Violets — Chasing The Light lyrics

Verse 1
You only live once until you get the new skin
Like a hawk on a wire, face to the wind
Waiting on a promise, for something to move
Searching endless sky, from a hilltop view

Throw our guitars in the back of the car
Take a sharp turn, maybe take it too far
Ride out the sunset, waiting on stars (
Take it to the limit - God knows where we/are
Chasing the light, chasing the light, chasing the light

Verse 2
Lighting strikes twice, back away from the the test
Blue prints got your back, they don’t know what’s best
Living in the box ‘til you don’t see it no more
Time is being written - it’s taking the floor

Bridge Verse
Trouble comes in three, time to hit the road
Leave dirt in your footsteps, lighten up the load
Choke cherries bloom in a pile of stone
Don’t need a mail/box, to make it a home
