In case you missed the #BTS on our Instagram story last week... we've got some new birds on set! From Volée to Haute Volée to Nesters, we love featuring people in the Oiselle community on site. Get to know Anita, Matt, and Mariel!
HOW DID YOU ORIGINALLY FIND OUT ABOUT OISELLE?
I purchased my first Oiselle shorts at Super Jock n' Jill in 2007 when O was a new brand to the store. Orange was the color and probably the most comfortable pair I have ever worn. I went back, bought another pair and donated all my old pair to Goodwill.
WHAT WAS THE MOST SURPRISING ELEMENT TO YOU OF BEING IN A PHOTOSHOOT?
The challenge of being outside my comfort zone in my skin suit. Embracing my curves, wrinkles, and imperfections for all to witness in a bra and tights. I appreciate the realism Oiselle is committed to in their photos. Running is real and beautiful. It's what we do.
WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU'RE NOT MODELING?
Finding balance as a working mom, getting my enjoyment in running, cycling, and any new sport I can get my hands on to try. I enjoy the challenge of racing and the process in the preparation. Being on the move can take it's toll, taking pause through meditative and mind clearing practice is a daily ritual.
WHEN YOU GET DRESSED TO RUN OR WORK OUT, HOW DO YOU WANT TO FEEL?
I want what I am wearing to move with me and support the shape that I am. Being comfortable in style.
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE ITEM FROM THE PHOTOSHOOT?
Hard to decide on one item because my dream wardrobe would be everything Oiselle. The new Denim Lori Shorts are a must have and personally, I can't get enough of the Flyte Tanks.
I am Amos Morgan's photographer's assistant. He regularly shoots for Oiselle. I learned about Oiselle during the recent Olympic Games in Brazil.
How fantastic the Oiselle athletes are to photograph and work with.
Photographer! Recent work - cover of current issue of Edible Portland.
In 2010 I met Sally when she first sat in my styling chair at Headlines Salon in the University Village. Always on the go, she told she wanted a fun style that could go from wet to dry and run to office without having to primp too much. I remember one of those early visits, she excitedly brought in a copy of Seattle Business Magazine that had an article about her fledgling business. I asked her about the company and she told me they wanted to make their mark in the fitness industry by being a company by women, for women that could stand up for female athletes at all stages of their careers. They had named it Oiselle, French for bird, because it represented their philosophy that as women we should be unbound and free. Since then I have had the joy of watching from the wings as this philosophy and brand has grown and truly taken flight.
I was most surprised about the idea that I was at a photoshoot for a fitness brand and being photographed in clothes that show areas of my body that historically I have gone to great lengths to tone and cover up. I was surprised that instead of leaving the shoot feeling uneasy, I left feeling empowered. The director (Megan) and photographer (Amos) gave me positive feedback and I would catch a glance or two of some of my photos as they came through on the screen. Instead of thinking that the girl in the picture looked she should go put more clothes on, I thought that she looked strong, or that she was curvy in a good way. I was the 'big' girl in high school and now having lost more than 100 pounds it can be hard to change your frame of mind from thinking that there is a magical destination weight where my body will be 'perfect', to knowing it is more of journey and that 'perfect' is subjective.
In life I work as a hairstylist going on 11 years behind the chair. Also I have recently gotten into residential real estate.
When I workout I like to dress in a way that highlights my assets and holds things where they need to be but also leaves me free to move!
I loved all the pieces, and I love the plum sticks color of the Gifted Verrazano, but I think my favorite item was the Pocket Jogger. Loved the higher waistband fit and I love how all the pockets let me take all the things I need while remaining sleek!
Love your company philosophy, more than kinda fabulous! Your models are inspiring.
I can't express how much I love your philosophy. Thank you for empowering female athletes of all shapes and abilities. Kudos to your company and the amazing women who run it!

Lee Broadway, a mother of five children sadly had died on April 1, 2017 due to a ruptured brain aneurysm. Namely she had been suffering from severe migraine since her early childhood.
At first when she was brought in, the doctors at the emergency room told her husband Eric Broadway that everything will be all right. However just after two hours, he was told there was nothing they could do to save her life.
As reported by Eric during aneurysm procedure a severe complication of credit which resulted in blood loss. Lee passed away just five days after she celebrated her 42nd birthday.
After hearing about Lee’s story, Dr. Howard Riina (a Vice chairman a professor at NYU Langone medical center) decided to raise public awareness regarding this health issue namely he emphasized a correlation between migraines and aneurysm.
As revealed a headache triggered by aneurysm is the worst type of headache in someone’s life. People who suffer from this, rush to the emergency room since they feel like they have been struck by lightning.
This type of headache simply cannot be compared to the ordinary one which we may often feel. Dr Riina also said that people with history of migraines have visual disturbances (auras) and you do a lot of things to relieve the symptoms, such as staying in a quiet dark room or taking some medicine.
However if these things that you try to help yourself, do not help, then you certainly have an aneurysm. This type of headache the people experience is a totally different from the ordinary headaches.
In other words you have a history of migraines and all of your self-treatments do not help then you should seek medical assistance on time.
It has been estimated that about 5 to 10% of the world’s population have an unruptured aneurysm. Roughly it is about 350 to 700 million people.
Dr. Riina estimates that 1 to 2 % of the aneurysm burst each year.in most cases the affected individual has no symptoms.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and polycystic kidney disease are two medical conditions which raise the risk of a brain aneurysm there is gets higher with certain lifestyle habits such as smoking in high fat diet.
Diseases that damage the tissue can also lead to Aneurysm such as atherosclerosis hypertension Abnormally narrow aorta and cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
Dr.Riina also adds that you need to get a screening test unless you suffer from one of these health conditions or you have a family history.

This is a place for people who want to lead their families, communities, and companies from a place of wisdom, creativity, and inner peace in these transformational times but don’t know how.
Much is at stake in our world. We are facing an unknown future. Leaders who are ready to expand to the next level of personal development, self-reliance, and creative problem solving are needed now.

Much of what I taught in those years applies today as we face leaving old systems behind to make room for a more conscious and inclusive future to arise.
I am excited to share how you can be a more creative, effective, and conscious leader by bridging the best of cross-cultural and modern organizational theory, psychology, and ancient wisdom personally and in community.

"My love for Syria has left no room for fear and retreat, so I was able to overcome all the challenges that I faced, including storms, fog, and the possibility of being lost in difficult terrain,” Silvana told SANA about her trip to scale Pico Naiguata, which has a summit elevation of 2,765 meters above sea level.
She said that she wanted to send a message to the world that the Syrian flag will continue to fly high, dedicating her effort to the Syrian Arab Army.
During the climb, Silvana relied on a diet of dates, water, and chocolate, which gave her the necessary energy to continue her arduous journey, during which she fell several times and was wounded once, and she also had to face the gradual drop in temperature as she climbed higher.

Charity events are known as an epicenter of joy and selflessness. While the number of donations raised is the only obvious differences, the memories made by these events and the support given are all mirrored from past fundraisers. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing yet entertaining way to spend your day, or just looking for a place to hang out, we’ve got the event for you! Our next fundraising campaign will be hosted by Sierra aka MissSunshyne, on Friday, April 5th starting at 10 am and finishing at 10 pm!
Did you know that fundraising events are evolving with new technology? If you aren’t an avid gamer or a casual member of an online community, you may not be familiar with the online streaming service known as Twitch.tv. The website is formally known as ‘Justin.tv’ decided to stick to gaming content, as they witnessed most of their live streamers were in fact, playing video games. Streamers and viewers are able to interact with each other (through a twitch provided chatroom) while playing some of their favorite games! When a streamer rises themselves through the ranks, gaining their own specific fan-base, the options of entertainment are almost limitless. Here, streamers can find their niche to really build a following that understands them as a person, and also as a gamer.
We met Sierra earlier this year and could instantly feel her vibrant charm. The 25-year-old full-time streamer from Melbourne, FL started streaming back in September 2017. We conversed with Sierra over her twitch history, and says she “started [streaming] for fun, and it eventually turned into a full-time job”. Sierra continues, “I have a background in marketing and graphic design”, and “I really enjoy working with people”. This came as no surprise. Sierra’s energy, humble atmosphere, and personal interactions are all second to none. When you typically enter Sierra’s chatroom with a ‘Hello’, she almost instantly acknowledges you and makes you feel welcome. “Streaming is a really good way to use a lot of my talents, and it’s been a great experience!” She even has a movie viewing experience with her subscribers, one Sunday a month. Now that’s valuing your community!
Have you ever been stuck at home with no possible way to explore the land around you? Unable to experience a new setting due to the lack of immediate funds? These thoughts are a reality for Anita Rutland, who was diagnosed at 38 with the rare disease called Porphyria, that left her in a wheelchair. As a former Emergency Medical Technician, she is now in need of your support! We are hoping to make a big dent into Anita’s fundraiser with your help! All of your donations will be going towards a wheelchair accessible vehicle, so she can finally get out of the house and live her life again.
What we have planned for the Stream!
A typical Twitch stream definitely does not run over 6-8 hours. Sierra will be putting 12 uninterrupted hours into this charity stream! This will only be her second 12 hour stream, as well as her very first stream dedicated to charity. This brings her quite the excitement. We are in high hopes to raise at least $1,250 for Anita Rutland! Over the 12 hours, she plans on streaming the game Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Rated M for Mature). We also plan to have a few donation goal incentives, such as pieing her husband in the face! That’s not even all of it. Sierra also regularly hosts a cooking segment on her stream! When coordinating for this event, Sierra went out of her way to ask what Anita’s favorite dish was, so she could make it LIVE on stream. A gesture we did not expect! Giveaways are a standard for charity events on Twitch. Dreamscape Foundation’s fundraiser is no different. We plan to giveaway CS:GO and Dreamscape merchandise, random steam keys, and even a $250 Amazon Gift Card! (Depending on your donation tier) MissSunshyne also plans to host her own giveaways, one of a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Gun Skin (AK47 – ‘Bloodsport’ Skin) and one of her home-baked cookies! (Only ships to North America) All one needs to do to enter, is to donate to Anita’s cause during the stream and we will work out the rest! We so look forward to all the fun happenings April 5th, 10am-10pm EST, and we hope you are too. We look forward to seeing you there!

The specific EGA handicaps are divided into the following six handicap categories.
Those who have previously been licensed with a handicap and have terminated the licence, for any reason, and who are now seeking to obtain the license again.

Bathing suit time is thundering up the road. After a year comfortably concealed under roomy, forgiving, cold weather duds, is your body ready? If not and you’re considering purchasing a weight-loss product that claims dramatic results in a remarkably short time, you might want to take a look at a recent survey by the Federal Trade Commission. According to this report, in 2011 more than 5.1 million consumers purchased weight-loss products including skin patches, creams, wraps, earrings, appetite- suppressing eyeglasses, dietary supplements and non-prescription drugs that promised buyers they could easily lose excess poundage without diet or exercise. These claims turned out to be dust in the wind for 2.1 percent of Americans. If you do the math and multiply that number by the pricey (sometimes-exorbitant) cost of those products, a lot of big bucks are also being thrown to the wind.
This report detailed 17 different kinds of scams, but the bogus weight-loss products were by far the biggest, more than double the amount in any other category.
The Internet roped in most scam victims. Forty percent of overall fraudulent product purchases were made online after product pitches by email and on social media, auction sites and classified ads.
Print advertising (apparently it’s still alive), television and radio advertising were the next most popular mediums through which consumers learned about offers that turned out to be phony baloney.
Now that bikini weather is on the horizon, advertisers in the weight-loss biz will be working overtime, zeroing in on consumer’s dread of exposing their bodies in breezy, all-revealing summer clothes. At their most vulnerable, consumers will be tempted to solve their poundage problems with whiz-bang, magic bullets. So watch your wallets, lest you become a statistic in the FTC’s next survey on weight-loss product scams.
It’s too bad they don’t work though :).
Loosing weight is work. As long as People look for the easy, lazy way out, they’ll continue kissing their money goodbye on worthless products.

Flat was cheap, but pretty grotty and obviously had no money spent on it for years. I had to prompt to landlord to put my deposit in the DPS having heard from previous tenants that he stung them with made up deductions, his preference being for young female tenants from overseas.
Flat was incredibly damp, had to run a dehumidifier 24/7 to stop everything going mouldy.
When I did leave the place was immaculate but he made up £90 of charges. Challenged it, and once he realised his normal hustle wasn't going to work I ended up giving him a token £10 for him to wipe a wall clean.

Why would you even consider creating an e-book from your blog? Mostly because it’s an easy way to collect your favorite posts, or even your entire blog, into one electronic file. If you use your blog partly as a garden journal, maybe you’d want to gather all of your Bloom Day posts, or all of your posts that relate to a specific part of your garden, into one file that you could store on your computer for easy reference. If you’re a designer, you could gather posts you’ve written about your design philosophy and projects you’ve completed and share them with your clients.
And yes, you might make some money too. I can’t speak to how much is possible, but considering that there’s not a huge amount of competition yet for gardening e-books, I think it’s not unlikely that you could earn enough to buy a few extra plants each year, even if you charged only 99 cents per download. If you have a blog, you already have an audience of readers and potential buyers.
Assuming that you already have the needed software (which you probably do have, or can get for free), the only main cost is the value of your time. The simple options I experimented with converted my files into e-reader formats for free. One of them also provided a free platform for selling the resulting e-book. If you create your own e-reader-ready files for sale, you can find sites that will host downloadable files and handle the sales transactions for just a few dollars a month: E-Junkie is one example.
It’s actually not bad, considering. For some reason, it insisted on adding the URL for the picture file underneath each image, and I don’t think there’s a way to directly edit each page. You can do some basic things, though, like change the order of posts and add a preface. For more details, see the BookSmith FAQ page.
BookSmith imports only the blog text, images, hyperlinks, and tags; other programs can import the comments as well. BlogBooker, for example, works with WordPress, Blogger, and LiveJournal blogs and includes the comments, based on an export file that you provide (they provide links to instructions for that, too). To find even more options, Google “turn blog into an ebook” (without quotes).
If you already use Word for word processing and are willing to put some time into learning a few of the lesser-known features, and if you have access to basic photo-resizing software, you can produce e-books in a variety of formats for either personal use or sale.
For this experiment, I tried using Smashwords to turn seven existing posts into a simple e-book that could be accessed through a variety of e-readers. It took longer to read and absorb the lengthy but very necessary style guide (which is itself a free e-book) than it did to actually prepare the interior file in Word, and another hour to create the cover file (I used Photoshop Elements).
The uploaded files go through an automated process called Meatgrinder (ouch) and come out in multiple formats for a variety of e-readers, including the iPhone and iPad, Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, Sony Reader, and personal computers.
I thought I had prepared the interior file exactly according to the directions, but when I checked out each of the reading formats, it was obvious that each one had different errors and quirks. The Kindle version looked best (I viewed it on the free Kindle for PC), and the PDF was okay too. I liked the online-reading versions the least, because they had the most obvious errors (odd photo sizes, changing fonts, and unneeded spaces). Unfortunately, there’s no way to see what the files look like until they go live on the Smashwords site. You can upload a revised file if needed, but then they go through Meatgrinder again; you can’t tweak the file specifically for each reader format.
If you’re interested in seeing the end result of my experiment, you can find the Oddball Edibles e-book here. To be honest, I wasn’t thrilled with any of the results, and I’d be really uncomfortable charging for something like this, so I made it accessible for free. But the Smashwords service itself is free, and I suspect that one could get better results with a bit of practice, so I’d consider trying it again.
To create the highest-quality results for sale or for showing clients, you need software that can produce PDF files. (Your readers will need the free Adobe Reader program, available here, to view them.) If you have experience with desktop publishing, you probably already have that capability, and you can create pages that look like on-screen versions of print books. Microsoft Word is fine for simpler, blog-like layouts, and you can save documents from there in PDF format (look in the list of formats when you do a Save-As.) Adobe also offers Adobe PDF Online for converting files online, and you can do five free conversions there.
If you want to see what a high-quality, finished gardening e-book looks like, check out Michael King’s e-books at perennialmeadows.com. The web page for each title includes a link where you can view sample spreads; it’s just above the purchase information. I bought Introduction – Perennial Meadows, and though I’ve only had time to skim (or scroll) through it so far, I’m definitely glad I got it and look forward to reading it more thoroughly.
Anyway, that gives you a taste of some options you have with e-publishing. Keep in mind that, in most cases, you’re not limited to using your blog content just as it is; in fact, you’ll probably find that you want to make at least minor changes (update any outdated links, add some new photos, and so on), or perhaps even add a few new entries as a bonus feature to entice buyers. If you give e-publishing a try, I’d love to hear about your results!
Wow! I’m impressed with your tech-wizardry. A great little ebook. I’ll be looking for more for my iPad!
Thanks, Marie! You could do it too. I don’t own any e-reader gadgets myself, and I don’t know how many people actually want to look at gardening information – especially with photos – that way. Having the capability to create e-books without expensive software or lots of training opens up a lot of possibilities for sharing information. Still, I prefer “real” books and blogs.
How about a collection of all of your propagation-related posts, Dave? That kind of first-hand information is invaluable. It could be a good winter project!
Thanks for all the useful information, Nan. I’m sure I’m not the only garden blogger who has dreams about turning some of my favorite/best posts into a collection of garden essays, so it’s really helpful to know about these options.
It’s a lot to think about, isn’t it? But it’s so exciting to find new options for personal garden record-keeping, sharing collections of your favorite posts with friends, or even maybe making a little income from your blog.
It sure is a lot less risky than investing time in finding a publisher, waiting a year of more for your book to be published, and then hoping it sells!
Great Information–I never seem to spend the time exploring publishers–just fill my notebook outdoors—Now that April fools is past hopefully, i will start to ‘catch up’ in the garden.
Love your blog and beautiful pictures !
Hey, Rita! There’s a whole lot of info out there on the various e-publishing options, but mostly for text-only e-books. Including images adds a whole level of complexity, and most of the sources I found said that it wasn’t even worth trying Smashwords if you have pictures. It worked out pretty well, though, considering.
Can you believe it: Snow just a few days ago, and today it’s going to be 70? Welcome spring in Pennsylvania!
Nancy, I spied your “Perennial Care Manual” at the Mass. Hort. book table at the Boston flower show last month and have now become an official Nancy Ondra junkie and member of your fan club LOL. I’m loving your books, your blog, and this post especially! I actually posted a review of your book on my blog, I was so impressed.
Thanks for all of the fabulous information you share! The idea of creating an e-book is just one more that I found very intimidating but am very interested in exploring. Thanks for demystifying it for all of us!
Hi Cathy! Gee, I always thought Mom was kidding about the fan club thing. Now it has two members! I’m so glad that you found me here, and I’m delighted that you’re enjoying the blog, and the book too. If you decide to try the e-book route and have questions, let me know.
Thanks for this information! BTW, I thought the HTML version of your e-book looked good.
Thanks, Rose. I don’t know why the font in that version switches between Times Roman and Arial, and the contents hyperlinks don’t work. But it wasn’t bad for a first try, I guess.

The "newspaper of record" is tacitly a longstanding imperial tool, the closest equivalent in America to an official ministry of information and propaganda.
On November 28, WikiLeaks began releasing over 250,000 leaked State Department and US Embassy cables (many designated "secret"), dating from 1966 through end of February 2010. Their content ranges from embarrassing to important revelations about US spying on allies and the UN, ignoring corruption and human rights abuses in "client states," corporate lobbying, backroom dealmaking, disparagements of foreign leaders, and overall revealing a much different America than its public persona. Most of all, it offers more proof of a sham democracy, a lawless imperial state rampaging globally though little, if anything, of a smoking gun nature was disclosed.
Unsurprisingly, the London Guardian said the documents "reveal how the US uses its embassies as part of a global espionage network, with diplomats tasked to obtain not just information from the people they meet, but personal details, such as frequent flyer numbers, credit card details and even DNA material. Classified 'human intelligence directives' issued in the name of Hillary Clinton or her predecessor, Condoleezza Rice, instruct officials to gather information on military installations, weapons markings, vehicle details of political leaders as well as iris scans, fingerprints and DNA."
The Times said it will post only about 100 cables, some redacted, others in full, "that illuminate aspects of American foreign policy," but will follow White House instructions in so doing.

Schütte, Uwe (2016). Mit, gegen und nach Brecht:Heiner Müllers Fatzer. German Life and Letters, 69 (2), pp. 256-268.
Heiner Müller has often been described as the only rightful (literary) heir and flag- bearer of Bertolt Brecht in German drama of the late twentieth century. This article first examines the critical position that Müller took towards his predecessor. The essay will then focus on the Fatzer complex which Müller considered to be by far the most important work by Brecht. Next, I will discuss the relationship between Fatzer and Müllerʼs synthesised stage version FATZER from 1978, followed by a brief assessment of the various ways in which Mu ̈ller treated Brechtʼs Fatzer material over the next two decades. Special attention will be paid to the radio play that Müller produced of his version of Fatzer during the final years of the GDR; I argue that it represents an exemplary engagement with Brecht’s fragment because, rather than aiming for a standard illusionistic radio play, Mu ̈ller’s intention is to allow his FATZER version, as it were, to speak for itself. To conclude, the essay undertakes a brief and inevitably speculative discussion of the influence of Brechtʼs unfinished drama project on Müller’s works.
This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Schütte, U. (2016). Mit, gegen und nach Brecht: Heiner Müllers Fatzer.

Alison Prestwood has played bass on recordings by Brooks & Dunn, Little Richard, Peter Frampton, Jessica Simpson, Olivia Newton-John, Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, Marty Stuart and Jim Lauderdale, to name just a few. She's played live with Rodney Crowell, Patty Loveless, Shawn Colvin, Olivia Newton-John, Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Wynonna Judd, Trisha Yearwood, Pam Tillis and so many other artists and songwriters. The following is taken from a 20 minute interview done September 30, 2009. Meet Alison Prestwood.
Bronson: Where are you from and how did you come to find yourself in Nashville?
Alison Prestwood: I'm from Montgomery, Alabama. I grew up there, I went to the University of Alabama right after high school. I played in some jazz ensembles and bands playing fraternity parties and all that in college. Graduated with a music degree, moved to Atlanta and lived there for 12 years playing bars 5, 6 nights a week. Played on a few jingles and whatever they would have there. Moved here to Nashville in '93. I just never was a night person really, I'm a morning person and I thought well this is it. I'm gonna give up the night life and go see about being a studio musician full time.
Bronson: So how many sessions do you think you've done since you've been in Nashville?
Alison Prestwood: Gosh I don't know, I would hesitate to even guess. It's been pretty full, I guess it took 3 or 4 years to get a good solid start on it and I suppose by '97 I had a good start. Now it's 2009 and it's been pretty so solid all the way.
Bronson: When you go to a session what do you take with you? Do you take one bass, do you take several basses?
Alison Prestwood: Always more than one. There's two ways of doing it, one is with cartage in which case I have a rack of amp heads brought and a direct signal and I also have a trunk of, I think I have 12 basses in that one. I ususally have my favorites at home so I'll bring two or three from home. If it's non cartage I have a small rig with one bass head and I usually bring two to three basses with me.
Bronson: You've also toured with a lot of different artists. Do you have a preference between playing live or in the studio?
Alison Prestwood: Studio (laughing). Studio for sure, just the ease of it. You know I really love the touring I've done, I've been really lucky to get with some great people. I think I was here only a few months and I managed to get the Rodney Crowell gig which set me off on just the best path. Good solid music and sort of the "well if you play with Rodney you must be good", initial outlook, so that helped me a lot. I've loved the road gigs but I just like being at the house. That kind of lifestyle fits me.
Bronson: You've also played a lot on TV.
Alison Prestwood: I have, I guess a lot of house bands. Harry Stinson used to be, probably still is, the musical director for a lot of award shows and he got me on a lot of that stuff.
Bronson: So you've worked with a lot of producers in Nashville. Is there one or two you'd like to mention that you've learned from as a bass player while you were making records?
Alison Prestwood: Paul Worley has been very helpful because he really does know what he's doing. Trey Bruce is a producer and he's also a successful songwriter. He's one guy I would point out who found his demo session band in the late 90's and kept us wih him through his records and all that and thats a guy I really appreciate because it's unusual in Nashville to play with a set band in the studio a lot. In another way it's good that we see different people a lot but Treys' bands been just one I would point out as being a solid band that went from demos to records and I would give Trey the credit for that, and I learned a lot in that situation.
Bronson: Didn't you also just work with Trey with Peter Frampton?
Alison Prestwood: Gosh it's been a year ago or so now, yes.
Bronson: Bet that was fun.
Alison Prestwood:(laughing) It was fun. Every now and then you work with somebody and you kind of look forward to it because they're famous or whatever, but what really gets me is when you know, you start running the song down and the person sings and you go, "wow that really is him", and Peter Frampton was one of those guys. You start running a song with him and you go, "wow, that's Peter Frampton", (laughing).
Bronson: Is there anybody you always wanted to play with that you haven't had a chance to yet?
Alison Prestwood: Paul McCartney. He's the reason that I picked bass in the first place.
Bronson: Well you play in a Beatles tribute band don't you?
Alison Prestwood: I do, Fab. We play once a month at 3rd & Lindsey usually, that beautiful early show from 7 to 9. I've been with Fab for 3 years I think, a great bunch of guys and it's so much fun playing those parts. You can listen to the Beatles songs a million times over as we all have but until you sit down and learn the stuff you really can't see how it is on the micro level.
Bronson: You play with another group around town don't you?
Alison Prestwood: Pat Buchanans' band, so it's Pat Buchanan, Tom Bukovac and Greg Morrow. That's mostly Pats' music with some covers thrown in and that's a full out 4 peice rock band so I really enjoy that. The two bands are good because one is the Beatles which I love and the other is just full out go for it kind of band.
Bronson: You've been nominated multiple times for the Academy of Country Musics' Bass Player of the Year award. What is it, 5 times?
Alison Prestwood: 4 times but you know the guys that win it, there's no denying how great they are. Glenn Worf, Michael Rhodes and these guys that when I moved here in '93 they were the top of the heap then and they still are and they deserve to be. So you know I would love to win it but I understand every time that I don't.
Bronson: Well it's such an honor to get nominated. That's just huge.
Alison Prestwood: Totally great, it's really fun. I feel like I've accomplished something by moving here with that. It's a validation.
Bronson: A lot of people that read the magazine, that read my columns are either new to Nashville or they've been here awhile but they're still trying to break into the studo world to play on records. Is there any advice you might have for someone on how to pull that off in the year 2009?
Alison Prestwood: The advice that comes to mind is the same that Glenn Worf gave me when I moved here which was, "there's always room for another good player. There's no short cut, just keep your goal in mind and follow it." You can get distracted on the road for instance, if you get to used to having that money in the mail box every 2 weeks which is nice, but at some point if you believe in yourself and you really want it badly, you have to pretty much get off the road and get around town. Get your face seen around town and be consistent, be pleasant, and have your gear and your act together and you have as good a shot as anybody.

I do tend to indulge myself. I can, so why not?
One of my more recent indulgences is attending the (almost) monthly writing retreats at Thistle Dew. For many years, other obligations prevented me from attending. Times change. Commitments change.
These writing retreats come in handy. They’re a great way to find intense writing time. Oh, I could take time off from Day Job and stay home to “write”, but writing doesn’t get done. Floors, get mopped, errands get run, laundry is laundered, and so on. For some reason, the writing is always the first sacrifice.
So I don’t consider these retreats “indulgences”, really. They’re more like necessity.

Archbishop Michael J. Sheehan listens to reporter's question as framed picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe stands behind him at Archdiocese of Santa Fe offices in Albuquerque, N.M., yesterday.
Editor's note: State District Judge James Hall, ruling on a legal technicality Oct. 10, refused to order a state-run museum to remove the "Our Lady" collage. Opponents of the computer-generated image had argued in court that museum officials violated the state's open meetings laws when they decided to hang the piece and leave it up. Hall ruled that the opponents didn't properly notify the museum of the alleged violation as required by law before going to court. But even if the proper notice had been given, Hall said, removing the artwork would not have been the proper remedy. The disputed image is scheduled to be removed from the Museum of International Folk Art on Oct. 28.
SANTA FE, N.M.  A collage of the Virgin of Guadalupe clad in a flowery two-piece swimsuit will remain on display at a state-run museum despite protests from some Roman Catholics.
A museum committee recommended yesterday that "Our Lady," by Los Angeles artist Alma Lopez, continue at the Museum of International Folk Art. However, the entire exhibit will end earlier than originally scheduled.
"The committee's recommendation will stand unless it's appealed," said Tom Wilson, director of the Museum of New Mexico, which runs the folk art museum.
Anthony Trujillo, deacon of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish in Santa Fe, said later that the parish would file an appeal, probably next week.
The appeal goes to Wilson, whose decision in turn could be appealed to the Museum of New Mexico's seven-member Board of Regents.
Many Catholics have condemned the image as sacrilegious and insensitive and demanded its removal. Others among about 600 people who spoke at a forum in April said removing the work would be censorship and a violation of the artist's rights.
Archbishop Michael Sheehan condemned the image yesterday as "sacrilegious to many thousands of New Mexicans."
"The picture doesn't show respect for the one we consider to be the mother of Jesus, the mother of God. She is shown not as the innocent mother of Jesus, but rather, I think, as a prostitute."
Sheehan said he was "disappointed but not surprised" by the committee's decision.
As for ending the exhibit early, he said, "half a slice of pie is better than none at all."
Lopez, who is a Catholic, said she meant to portray the Virgin as a strong, independent, modern woman. She has said "Our Lady" is an expression of her admiration for Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Lopez said yesterday she was pleased by the committee's decision, and expressed her thanks to museum officials who "are right in the fire where everything is going on."
Lopez said the museum would have set a bad precedent if it had removed the collage, and that it would have been wrong for her as the artist to remove it because she would have been "a Latina artist, a chicana, pressured into silence."

When you want to model a mouse in Solidworks, e.g. HP X3000 or similar, there is no easy way to do it. You'll need to create several individual surfaces that are trimmed and filleted into the final shape.
It is not a linear process because many of the input splines are qualified guesswork, that needs to be revised/reshaped to achieve the wanted result. It is more art than engineering...!
Two perpendicular splines are used for a boundary surface.
Notice that the surface is overbuilt = larger than the actual mouse, so that it can be trimmed to size later.
The top surface has a flat profile seen from the front, so the top surface is trimmed by a horizontal line on the front plane.
A spline on the right plane is used together with the newly cut edge for a boundary surface.
This intricate face goes from convex to concave to convex in order to provide a comfortable grip. The 3 side profile sketches connect to the sweep profile on the top plane.
Superfluous faces are removed using a Mutual Trim.
The trimmed surfaces are automatically knitted by the Mutual Trim command.
A planar surface on the Top Plane is used to close the bottom.
This is the litmus test to verify that the surface is watertight (without holes).
The next steps in detailing would be to split the mouse into several solid bodies represinting the buttons, battery cover, etc.
@OFF Explosion. No, not really. The front face is pretty simple, it only fails if the sketch endpoint doesn't touch the front edge or if the front edge consists of more than one edge (in which case the previous step have had an issue). Maybe she didn't use both directions for the Boundary Surface? She can upload the model to GrabCAD and we can have a look.
Just knew that my friend (who I showed the tutorial) couldn´t finished her´s because she couldn´t make the Front face. Any ideas on what she did wrong? Mine worked fine, so I don´t know why her´s didn´t.
Thanks FredSWUG! I used ordinary circular fillets...!
Looks good. Did you use circular fillets, or conic fillets for steps 12 & 13?

In homes and school communities nationwide, there is re-energized interest in the values of community, compassion, and tolerance, and in finding our way to a kinder culture—a culture that starts with our families. Headlines speak of hate crimes, intolerance, and us-versus-them divisiveness.
Recent political events have left many Americans yearning for unity, respect, and compassion in our national discourse. In our schools, bullying continues to be a pervasive problem, and in our homes, "screen-time" poses a constant threat to 'family time.' Research shows that connection and social engagement are key to successful, fulfilling lives, and yet we have never been less connected than we are now.
Perhaps more than any other group, parents recognize the potential damage of this trend. Children who are raised in a culture where giving and compassion are valued become happier and more positively engaged with those around them. They are less likely to treat others disrespectfully. With increased concern about meanness and bullying, you may be among the many parents who see the need for more civil, respectful, and considerate behavior among our children.
Why kindness? That's a good question. Here's the short answer: because kindness leads to a lot of other good things like compassion, happiness, future success, better relationships, improved self-esteem, and good mental and physical health. And don't we all want that for our children, our families, and our community? In this chapter, we'll look at the research that supports the specifics of the longer answer.
So how does nurturing kindness in our children make for happier kids, more harmonious homes, and a healthier society? As we will discuss further, empathy is one of the foundations for kindness. Empathy is the connection with another person that enables us to experience what he or she is thinking or feeling. Children as young as eight months old respond empathically when witnessing their mothers in distress. In one study, researchers reported: 'all of the infants showed genuine empathy in emotional and cognitive ways.'1 In research-based community programs designed to foster social and emotional sensitivity in very young children, such as Roots of Empathy, empathy is taught by focusing on feelings of others. This important skill helps make for happier homes and families. Through these programs, families from different backgrounds get to spend time together in a natural way.
If you have been book shopping over the past several years you won't be surprised to know that the field of happiness is thriving. What you may not know is that psychologists have been studying happiness for many years.2 In the last thirty or so years, these scientists have begun to examine what makes people happy, thrive, and flourish. 'Research shows that performing positive activities such as expressing gratitude and doing acts of kindness boosts happiness.'3 Although much of this research has been with adults, children are now becoming the focus of more studies. One recent pioneering study with nine- to eleven-year-olds underscored the benefits to children who perform acts of kindness on a regular basis. The researchers found that these children, in addition to seeing positive changes in their academic experience, were more socially accepted. You could probably have guessed that those might be some of the benefits to the individual child; they are obvious. What may be less obvious is the benefit to their entire community. From engaging in acts of kindness, these children tend to be more inclusive and less likely to bully others as teenagers.4 By nurturing our children to be kind, we are taking the first step in building happier, more harmonious communities.
In various studies to support this, scientists notice changes in the brain when people think good thoughts, do kind acts themselves, or even observe other people performing kind acts. Endorphins or 'feel good chemicals' are secreted in our brain; these secretions improve our mood. Another important hormone in this process, and one that is directly related to social connection, is oxytocin. It works in concert with serotonin, one of the endorphins released in the helper's high. 'When it is operating during times of low stress, oxytocin physiologically rewards those who maintain good social bonds with feelings of well-being.'8 Another interesting aspect of this hormone is that when it is released during a stressful or painful time in someone's life 'it may lead people to seek out more and better social contacts.'9 It is pretty amazing that we now know that when people are looking for ways to feel better when they are stressed or in pain, helping others will help them, too. Through MRI scans, researchers can see that when you help someone, a specific region of your brain lights up. This gives you a feeling of 'warm glow' that underscores the emotional benefits to kindness.
The growing research on children in schools gives us insight into the positive effects they experience when helping others. Over the past twenty-five years, Service Learning (SL), has become a popular and meaningful way that students of all ages can become engaged in community service through their schools. Barbara Jacoby, a leader in the field of Service Learning, defines it as 'a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities for reflection designed to achieve desired learning outcomes.'11 There are positive results about the effects of service learning programs on young people. 'Students participating in SL programs demonstrate significant gains in five outcome areas: attitudes toward self, attitudes toward school and learning, civic engagement, social skills, and academic performance. These findings bolster the views of educators who posit that SL programs can benefit students at different educational levels in several ways. These multiple benefits include such areas as enhanced self-efficacy and self-esteem, more positive attitudes toward school and education, an increase in positive attitudes and behaviors related to community involvement, and gains in social skills relating to leadership and empathy.'12 Students who experience these gains understand firsthand the value of kindness and connection which enables them to be contributing members of their communities. Sounds good to us!
There are so many reasons that kindness is important. At its essence, kindness allows us to develop awareness of and sensitivity to others. Having concern for others and being able to show that concern through our thoughts and actions will help us feel connected to those around us. This is not a new phenomenon. It was Charles Darwin, who, within the context of survival mechanisms, understood that we have an instinct to be sympathetic and caring.'13 To respond compassionately to someone else, we need to observe and understand what they are experiencing. In his book, The Altruistic Brain, Dr. Ronald Pfaff states, 'how scientifically reasonable it can be to rely on the idea that we are wired from infancy to 'do the right thing'.14 Even though we are hardwired for it, we need to work at it. With practice we can get really good at acting with kindness. … Cont'd….

Let’s talk. I wrote one of these posts a couple years ago, and feel like it’s definitely time to get real with myself again. There is so much I need to work on – I’ve been feeling super overwhelmed lately, and as a big believer in self-improvement, felt like it was time to sit down and write it out so I can really focus on improving these areas of my life.
This is definitely number 1 on my list because I feel like when my health/fitness is off, most areas of my life follow suit. For the most part, my eating has been insanely unhealthy since May…ordering out a ton, a glass of wine (or more) most nights, and my sugar addiction is back in full force (seriously, I make special trips to the gas station or CVS for candy). I feel absolutely terrible. I wake up with a headache or a stomach ache most days, feel tired all the time, and in general…physically lazy. I touched on this in #coffeetalk last week, and got back to the gym on Monday but was hit with the stomach flu yesterday, so I’m back off track. I’m so sick of feeling like this (plus all of my pants are super tight, like almost can’t button them), and I only have myself to blame. Working out helps so much with everything in my life – and I feel like my anxiety is on another level lately due to zero workouts. I can’t wait to get back to the way I was feeling, but starting is always the hardest part. Anyone have tips? Maybe I need a health/life coach lol.
When I feel like I have too much on my plate, my time management goes out the window (of course, when I need it the most). I get overwhelmed, and have a hard time sticking to what needs to get done because I feel like there’s so much I have to get done. Does that even make sense? It’s like I don’t even know where to start. Making a list definitely helps me, and that’s something I need to get better at – it feels so good to check things off a list and visually see what you’re getting done.
Sometimes I let my anxiety get the best of me, and I want to cancel all of my plans and stay home because “I feel like something bad is going to happen.” That is seriously no way to live, and I want to just let it go – get out and do more! Life really is so short, and I want to focus on enjoying every single day I’m given. *Edit – as I am writing this post, the Today Show is on in the background and they just talked about a book, Anxious For Nothing…maybe I should read it. Self-care is also a super important piece of living and feeling happy (great tips in this article). It seems like whenever I have a moment to myself, I pick up my phone and start checking emails. Which brings me to number 5.
I’ve been feeling extra connected lately, and as we get busier with work, it seems like I’m looking at some sort of screen pretty much all day long. I want a break. It felt so good to read an actual book (Luckiest Girl Alive, liked it a lot but didn’t love), and I want to start making time for technology breaks. I feel like if it’s not something I actually make time for/schedule, it won’t happen.
Thanks for sharing. I totally agree and feel exactly the same. #1 is definitely my biggest challenge at the moment and I know everything else will improve as soon as I get back into a healthy routine with eating and working out. Finding motivation is the difficulty but I’ve got to start somewhere.
You might like this article.
Thanks, Sandy! Checking it out now, hope you’re doing well!
I can relate to all of this Brooke! Being a mom is the best thing ever but I understand how hard it is when you work from home (which is what I do too). I’m always working on my time management and I like to write down daily what I’m going to do for work that day, it helps clear my head to get it all down on paper. You got this girl, good luck!!
Gish I feel like you were writing about me! I have no motivation for fitness atm, I’m always anxious, and at times angry and sad! Feeling like I have sooo much on my plate. One of kids commented that I was much happier when I was going to the gym …. Funny how they pick up on things.
I think we can all relate!! When I have a ton to do I make a list of everything I need to do, kinda like brainstorming. And then I re-write the list chronologically. I try to be realistic with myself and if something isn’t a main priority I’ll put it on for another day. This has helped me tremendously.
Finding balance and a schedule/routine with children is so hard because each day is so different. I will say when I wake up before my kids and at the very least shower (bonus= making it to the gym and showering before they wake up) I always have a more positive, focused and less stressed morning with them.
I really enjoyed reading this post! I have so much to work on as well, health and fitness along with unplugging are at the top of my list. Lately I have really let my fitness routine fall behind and I really need to get it together.
I can’t tell you two enough how much your blog means to me. In a world full of constant screen time and social media, it sometimes feels like it’s all a competition. I feel like I’m good at not letting that get to my head and keeping it all in perspective, but your blog emulates that in the best way to a large audience. So with that, thank you for being so honest, raw, and relatable. You are my favorite bloggers to follow and I refer to you for everything from new recipes and fashion to lifestyle–like the need to just have a good cry and make a simple list to help regulate anxiety.
With that being said, my SIL offered me the best tip to help with my anxiety which stems from the amount of responsibilities I have on a daily basis. She said, instead of making a “to-do” list and saying in my head, “I have to vacuum, I have to grocery shop, I have to finish the report, I have to prepare for tomorrows meeting, I have to to the laundry…etc.,” change it to “I want.” Re-phrasing this in my head and even writing it in my planner makes it so much less stressful- funny I know, but give it a chance. Among many other self-care strategies, this has really helped curb my anxiety.
I can 100% relate to #5 lately. I planned a weekend getaway for my bf and I a couple of weeks ago. I picked a place in the middle of nowhere where we had a private Airbnb cabin booked with absolutely no electricity. Cell reception was spotty at best so we used this as a “no phone zone” weekend. We took in the beauty of our surroundings and really reconnected with each other. After coming back, any meals spent together are a “no phone zone” spot. Being so accessible all the time isn’t a good thing! Everyone needs to slow down a little and learn that when I’m busy, I’m busy. I also value my partners time and presence and don’t want to take that for granted by multi-tasking my time between him and my device.
Disclosure: we both love IG and sometimes snap a quick pic of a drool worthy meal then throw the phones back into our bags.
Love all of these ideas! It’s so important and necessary to care for yourself! I think for me it helps to set these goals but then break them down. How can you measure/know you’re actually unplugging? Maybe its leaving phone on do not disturb while working out or putting away thirty minutes earlier in the night. For self-care, maybe its scheduling an activity, like take a bath, into your to-do list (seriously!). And give yourself grace, they won’t all happen right away and that’s ok.
Wow! I feel like this post came at the perfect time for me. My anxiety has been out of control lately and I know I need to do something about it. Taking care of yourself is so important and I haven’t been doing too well in regards to working out and exercising. Definitely will be trying to make that a bigger priority for me.
I also too find myself avoiding going out and doing things and even find that at times it makes me feel physically ill just thinking about it because I think of all the things that could go wrong (does this happen to anyone else??) For me that is a major red flag that I have let my anxiety get the best of me and that it is out of control.
It is refreshing to know that I am not the only who deals with this. I’m going to look into the book you suggested!
Good for you realizing that you need to make a change and actually calling out your flaws for all of us to see, I think that’s so brave and it has inspired me to take a step back and write out a few things I want to work on (Lord knows there are plenty haha).
And I totally understand what you’re getting at in #3, I am the exact same way. I always explained it as feeling just paralyzed when I get overwhelmed. It’s like, I need to get so many things done that suddenly I don’t know where to start and my brain just freezes, which of course stresses me out even more! The struggle!
Again, thank you so much for sharing these!! And as for a tip for the health/fitness, you could do BBG and share the workouts to Insta-stories like you’ve done in the past so we can all do it together and we could all DM/comment when we do it! That would keep us all accountable!
Thank you for writing such an honest and transparent post! I’m struggling with some of the same issues right now, so it’s comforting to hear your thoughts.
I’m currently trying out new ways to improve my time management skills. I’ve actually been using an online management tool called Trello to help me GSD!
Related to #3 (I read this somewhere & it helped me). Each morning, make a list of SPECIFIC tasks you want/need to accomplish that day. Be very specific. Be realistic. Then refer back to that all day. Crossing things off will feel so good & you’ll feel like you accomplished something. And you won’t want to end the day without crossing off your list. Also, take tasks in small pieces. Don’t be overwhelmed by the big picture. My house needs a major de-clutter. I’m starting off one corner, closet, cupboard at a time & looking at small victories! As a mom of 2 kids who are both now finished with college & out on their own – here’s advice — take time to spend with your kids where you are THERE & PRESENT & enjoying them, laughing & having fun. Kids get a vibe from you & notice much more than you realize. Your kids acting out more lately could be because they sense you are not paying attention to them & are distracted. Kids store away a lot of memories of small things from their childhood. Hope this helps in a small way! Enjoy your blog a lot even tho I am probably your parents age!

Prather, of Plainfield, Ill., rolled a 200 in the PBA Scorpion Championship title match at Thunderbowl Lanes.
Allen Park — A pro bowler for five years, Kris Prather entered Wednesday night with 45 career tournament cashes. He ended Wednesday night with 46 — and his first championship.
Prather, of Plainfield, Ill., rolled a 200 in the PBA Scorpion Championship title match at Thunderbowl Lanes, to edge BJ Moore (190) of Greensburg, Pa.
Prather, 27, had three previous third-place finishes, his best for this week's World Series of Bowling X breakthrough in Metro Detroit.
It didn't look great early, when in the sixth frame of the final, he left a 4-10 split. It was one of many splits that surfaced throughout the night on tough lane conditions.
But he rebounded and got the job done.
Prather beat fan favorite, wild-hair Kyle Troup, 222-208, in his first match in the stepladder finals, then Saginaw Valley State alum Bill O'Neill, 198-190, in the semifinal.
Prather earned a $20,000 winner's check, nearly doubling in season earnings.
The Scorpion Championship was the third of four tournaments this week in Allen Park. The last one, the World Championship, will have its finals Thursday night, starting at 8 on Fox Sports 1. It's a major championship, and all eyes will be on Jason Belmonte, who earned his 20th career victory Tuesday in Allen Park. He has 10 major championships, tied for most all-time.
There also is a team event, the U.S. vs. The World, that will air Friday on tape delay.

Home News Metrorail criticised over security.
Commuter rail service provider Metrorail has come under fire for failing to provide backup security for travellers in light of ongoing nationwide strike action by security guards over wage demands. There has been no security on trains or at stations since guards affiliated to the transport union SATAWU began an indefinite strike calling for an 11 per cent pay rise over two weeks ago.
Commuter Action Group has accused Metrorail which provides commuter rail services in six major cities in South Africa, including Cape Town of acting irresponsibly after the company confirmed that it would not be placing substitute security guards on trains until further notice, local radio station Cape Talk reports.
On 12 April striking SATAWU workers vandalised seven Metrorail trains at Nyanga station on the Cape Flats as well as disrupting services during the afternoon peak on the Cape Town to Kapteinsklip and Kayelitsha line. Other violent incidents involving property and passengers have been registered in other parts of the country.
