*Working Towards a Better World
The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.

I put this in my kitchen. I thought it turned out nice & it looks like it was painted on. It is actually a wall transfer that can be ordered. Of course it's not nearly as nice as some of the wall murals scarley flickr.com/photos/14887728@N04/ does, but the next best thing for those of us that aren't quite as artistic as she is.

That's my Brother Bob (RIP) on the right.
My Dad said he taught us to fish as soon as we could see over the transom. Bob developed sea-sickness very early on in life,
The boat seen here was named "No Luck", swapped out later for the "Sea Fox". Oldest Brother Bill sporting the binoculars perched on the livewell.

Once the eel ends up in the livewell the end is near. Now the fisherman will put the glove on his left hand and reach into the well to grab an eel, stab and gut it and put a piece of wire as a loop through the mouth so it can be hung in the smoker.

This Girl right here is my inspiration! I admire her because she doesn't just live every moment of her life she lives it out loud and some day I hope i can be like that just a bit. K is the only person that I know who is the same around everyone and never talks behind someones back she is never afraid to be herself and for that she is my inspiration!
For this shot all i wanted was her standing but Mrs K started to dance and I really did not think it would turn out at all but it has never taken front and center as my all time favorite photo. This stands for everything I like to see in people and everything i hope one day I can be. Thank you K so much for letting me constantly taking you photo and calling you all the time you are seriously the best:)
So now i challenge you all to live one day out loud forget the past and live in the moment and take things as they come to you!
If you are still talking about what you did yesterday, you haven't done much today.
Looking after an older disabled relative can have practical, financial and emotional challenges. But help and support is available.
Even though you might see yourself as a wife, husband, partner, sibling, daughter or son, it's important to recognise that you are still caring for someone.
Under the Care Act 2014, which came into force in April 2015, local authorities have a legal duty to assess any carer who requests an assessment or appears to need support.
A carer's assessment is not the same as a needs assessment, which evaluates your relative's needs.
Contact your local council to apply for a carer's assessment.
A carer's assessment involves a discussion between you and a trained person from the council.
The assessment is not about how good you are at caring. It assesses how much support you need and the effect of your caring role on your health, wellbeing, work and family life.
Your relative may be eligible for home help. This usually means a homecare worker will come to their home in the morning and in the evening.
The type of help available varies across local authorities. It also depends on your relative's mobility and how easily they perform personal care tasks, such as getting up, getting dressed and cooking a meal.
You can learn more in local authority funding for care and support.

Pilar - ( Ernest Hemingway Boat)
Ernest Hemingway owned a 38-foot (12 m) fishing boat named Pilar. It was acquired in April 1934 from Wheeler Shipbuilding in Brooklyn, New York, for $7,495.[1] "Pilar" was a nickname for Hemingway's wife Pauline and also the name of the woman leader of the partisan band in his 1940 novel of the Spanish Civil War, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Hemingway regularly fished off the boat in the waters of Key West, Florida, Marquesas Keys, and the Gulf Stream off the Cuban coast. He made three trips with the boat to the Bimini islands wherein his fishing, drinking, and fighting exploits drew much attention and remain part of the history of the islands. In addition to fishing trips on Pilar, Hemingway contributed to scientific research which included collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution. Several of Hemingway's books were influenced by time spent on the boat, most notably, The Old Man and the Sea and Islands in the Stream. The yacht also inspired the name of Playa Pilar (Pilar Beach) on Cayo Guillermo. A smaller replica of the boat is depicted in the opening and other scenes in the TV Movie Hemingway & Gellhorn.
Acquisition
Hemingway acquired the boat in April 18, 1934 after returning from safari in Africa. The boat was a modified version of the Wheeler Playmate line.[2] The final price for the boat was $7,495 which included modifications such as a livewell to contain fish, dual-engine set-up, lowering the boat's transom by twelve inches and adding a full-width roller on the stern to aid in hauling large fish onto the boat. A flying bridge was added at a later date, but not by Wheeler. The boat's hull was painted black as opposed to the stock white color.
The boat was constructed in the Coney Island yard of the Wheeler company and delivered to Hemingway at Miami, attached to a wooden cradle which was part of the purchase price. Hemingway, a Wheeler representative, and a friend of Hemingway then delivered the boat under its own power from Miami to Key West along and a few miles to the east of the Florida Keys, via a semi-protected passage known as Hawk Channel.
Science on the boat
In addition to hunting, Hemingway was an avid fisherman and a great contributor to the development of the sport. He also contributed to the knowledge of Atlantic marine life. During his first visit to Cuba with Pilar, Hemingway hosted Charles Cadwalader, director of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural History and Henry Fowler, the Academy’s chief ichthyologist. These two scientists were in Cuba trying to determine the taxonomy of marlin species. They were attempting to determine if white, blue, black, or striped marlin were different species, or just color variants of the same species. As a result of their efforts on the boat, they reclassified the North Atlantic marlin variants.
U-boat patrols
During World War II, Hemingway used his boat to search for German U-boats in the Caribbean waters.[3] Pilar was outfitted with communications gear including HF/DF or “Huff-Duff” direction-finding equipment. His minimal armament included a Thompson sub machine gun and hand grenades. Most accounts state that any effort to attack a submarine would be futile. Hemingway wrote about his intent to attack if he spotted a sub. Other accounts of these patrols imply that they were a farce and that he did them in return for extra gas rations and immunity from Cuban police for driving drunk.[4][5] His hunting for U-Boats was inspiration for the third act, "At Sea", in his novel Islands in the Stream.
Bimini trips[edit]
Ernest Hemingway with Wife Pauline and Children, Bimini, 1935
Hemingway spent three summers in Bimini, starting with the first voyage in April, 1935. During the initial attempt at the crossing, he accidentally shot himself in the leg while attempting to boat a shark he caught.[6] On a subsequent trip, he fished with Bror von Blixen-Finecke, with whom he had been on Safari and whose former wife was Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa. There are ties to him and Hemingway through Hemingway's books Green Hills of Africa and Under Kilimanjaro.
During the Bimini trips, Hemingway perfected fishing techniques for tuna. He was the first person to land a giant tuna unmutilated. Known as "apple-coring", it had been common for sharks to attack fish as they tired and were near to the boat. His technique involved applying constant pressure, "pump and reel", to the fish wherein previous techniques allowed the fish to run in an effort to tire it. He would attempt to boat the fish as soon as possible. He experimented with using a skiff whereby he would transfer to the smaller boat with the intent of having the fish pull the boat and then tire. He also discovered marlin had a defense mechanism in their swords and noses that made them unattractive to sharks but that tuna lacked such a defense.
Hemingway and Henry ("Mike") Strater with the remaining 500 lbs of marlin
He found a tuna's primary defense against the sharks was speed and as the fish tired they became easy targets. He carried a Thompson sub-machine gun which he used to shoot the sharks as the tuna tired and neared the boat.
The photo to the right depicts Hemingway and Henry ("Mike") Strater with a half-eaten ("apple-cored") marlin. This fish weighed more than 500 lbs in its half eaten state. It was projected to be more than 1,000 lbs when whole. During the landing of the fish, Hemingway used a Thompson machine gun to shoot the sharks in an attempt to ward them off. The effect of the shark blood in the water was to attract more sharks, which eventually did their damage to the fish. In the end, the state of the marlin recalls somewhat that of the monster marlin in Hemingway's later masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea.
The incident greatly compromised his relationship with Strater because Strater believed Hemingway's bloody use of the machine gun against the sharks to be the primary cause of him losing the largest fish he ever caught.[7]
While on Bimini, Hemingway wrote magazine articles for Esquire and worked on his novel, To Have And Have Not. His reputation as a big game angler began to grow. He landed many large tuna and marlin. He also staged boxing matches with the locals, offering $100 (this amount ranged upward to $250 based on various accounts) to anyone who could last a few rounds with him. His fighting was not contained to the ring. During a dockside brawl, he punched and knocked out Joe Knapp, a wealthy magazine publisher.[8] Hemingway at first lived on Pilar. He later moved to a cottage near Brown's Dock and eventually a room at the Compleat Angler Hotel, staying in Room Number 1.
Fishing[edit]

Hemingway caught numerous record-breaking fish from Pilar. In 1935, he won every tournament in the Key West-Havana-Bimini triangle, competing against notable sportsman Michael Lerner and S. Kip Farrington. In 1938 he established a world record by catching seven marlin in one day.[10] He was the first person to ever boat a giant tuna in an undamaged state. This effort was attributed to him pulling the fish into the boat before it had tired thereby preventing sharks from eating it. Hemingway kept meticulous logs of his fishing to include guests, weather, current, conditions, fish caught, and other information. During the first summer of owning the boat, Arnold Samuelson, an aspiring writer, served as deck hand and recorded the dictated logs on paper. He subsequently typed the logs which are on display at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.[11] Samuelson later wrote an account of the summer in book form which was published posthumously by his daughter.[12]
Named after him, The Hemingway Fishing Tournament has been held in Cuba since 1950. It is four day tournament where contestants go for marlin, tuna, wahoo, and other fish using 50-pound fishing line. Hemingway won the first three years.[13]

Unto These Hills Outdoor Drama Retells the Trail of Tears in Cherokee, NC
Millions of visitors have attended Unto These Hills, presented by the Cherokee Historical Association, which tells the story of the Cherokees and the Trail of Tears. Taken from the pages of history, the play by Kermit Hunter follows the story of the Cherokee of the Eastern region up to their removal via the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma. The drama includes notable Cherokee historical figures, including Junaluska, Tsali, and Yonaguska.
What was the Trail of Tears?
Taking place in the 1830s, the Trail of Tears was the forced and brutal relocation of approximately 100,000 indigenous people (belonging to Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Seminole, among other nations) living between Michigan, Louisiana, and Florida to land west of the Mississippi River. Motivated by gold and land, Congress (under President Andrew Jackson) passed the Indian Removal Act by a slim and controversial margin in 1830. The Cherokees resisted removal through every possible means. Even Junaluska, who had saved Andrew Jackson’s life at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, traveled to Washington to plead the Cherokee’s cause, but Jackson would not see him.
The Treaty of New Echota
In 1835, the Treaty of New Echota was signed by a minority of Cherokees, including Major Ridge, John Ridge, and Elias Boudinot, in an act of absolute betrayal (the three were assassinated by other Cherokee in 1839). Major Ridge claimed to represent the Cherokee Nation, but he was only considering a small group of people. The Treaty would give Cherokee land west of the Mississippi to the US in exchange for $5,000,000. In 1836, the U.S. Congress ratified the treaty (by one vote in the Senate) and gave Cherokees two years to remove themselves. Meanwhile, the U.S. Army began constructing stockades in preparation for the removal, which would become known as the Trail of Tears.
The Forced Removal of the Cherokee People
The Cherokee Nation rejected the Treaty of New Echota. As a result, between May 1838 and March 1839, federal soldiers and state militia rounded up 16,000 Cherokees from Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina, taking them to stockades, and forcing them to get on boats and then march to Indian territory, present-day Oklahoma. At least 4,000 Cherokees died—one quarter of the population—and many were buried in unmarked graves. This devastating chapter in American history is known as the Trail of Tears.
Cherokee Heroes Emerged
One group of Cherokees, the Oconaluftee Citizen Indians, remained in North Carolina. Sixty families, led by Yonaguska, Long Blanket, and Wilnota, had land in their own names under the Treaties of 1817 and 1819. They lived sober, industrious lives, and were able to successfully appeal to the North Carolina legislature to remain on their lands, mostly near the Oconaluftee River.
During removal, three to four hundred Cherokees hid in the wooden mountains of Western North Carolina. In November of 1838, Tsali and his family killed two soldiers who were attempting to capture them. Tsali and his family became fugitives from the federal government. Aided by William Holland Thomas (Yonaguska’s adopted son), the American soldiers found Tsali. Tsali agreed to give himself up and be executed so that other Cherokees would be allowed to stay in their homes in the mountains.
Honoring the Cherokee Nation
All together, about a thousand Cherokees, including those who stayed in the mountains or made their way back from the Trail of Tears, became the ancestors of today’s Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Today, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is a sovereign nation with over 14,000 members.
Visit the Museum of the Cherokee Indian to experience the story of the Trail of Tears through artifacts, artwork, audio narration, and life-sized figures.
Tickets for Unto These Hills in Cherokee, NC
Unto These Hills is a powerful retelling of Cherokee history, in a narrative about the Trail of Tears that is heartbreaking and hopeful. As one of the oldest outdoor dramas in the United States, it has been stirring audiences since the very first production opened in the Cherokee Mountainside Theater in 1950. We hope you will see it for yourself and be transformed by the vibrant and enduring spirit of the Cherokee people.

Adventures that go deeper.
Each place you visit in Cherokee pulses with the stories and significance of a people whose roots run deep and whose ancient wisdom is fascinating to uncover. Nestled in the lush landscapes of Western North Carolina, Cherokee invites you to smell the wood smoke and open your ears. If you listen closely, maybe you can hear the chanting of the little Nunnehi people of the mountain peaks. No need to resist Cherokee’s invitations to dive right in. Fire off a blowgun if you dare, but make sure your spouse is in the clear. As you cast your line into the trout-filled rivers or wash your face in the sweet spray of a waterfall, let the powerful feelings of Cherokee carry you. Even if it’s just for a day or two.
Open your eyes with us.
A virtual treasure trove of outdoorsy fun awaits in Cherokee. Activities gain new dimensions as you become aware of their origins, steeped in a vibrant cultural heritage. For instance, if you enjoy birding, you may never see the cardinal in the same way after learning about the legend of how it got its scarlet color–just as you may observe in a new way the copper lines in the ancient boulders along the banks of the Oconaluftee where you may be fishing, tubing or kayaking. Did you know that the wolf showed the cardinal those copper lines to paint herself with after she pecked the mud from his eyes? These are stories you and your fellow travelers will learn as you explore Cherokee.
Awaken your power animal.
Cherokee history, song, dance, and period regalia come to vivid life in sites such as the Oconaluftee Indian Village, the outdoor drama “Unto These Hills,” or the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. Cherokee hosts a variety of annual cultural festivals throughout the year where you can share in the celebration of colorful customs and learn about ancient beginnings.
Let your braids fly in downtown Cherokee.
Nostalgic shops offering blowguns and tomahawks, comfy motor lodges, family fun parks, and petting zoos can all be found in downtown Cherokee, NC.

The network of trails is more than 10.5 miles total, so there’s plenty of room for everyone to recreate safely, responsibly…and flowy?
That’s right—if you like your trails with a nice flow of features, with fun berms and quick hits of elevation that are manageable and fun, Fire Mountain is made for you. You’ll find tables, rock gardens, and blinds for those who know, along with single-track and wider sections, spots that are smooth and fast, and trails that invite the more technically accomplished with options for those less so. The trailhead is located about 100 yards from the Oconaluftee Indian Village in Cherokee and shares a parking lot. The trails interlace through the nearby Great Smoky Mountains, so you already know the views and terrain will take your breath away, even if your recreation of choice doesn’t!
Is it the flowiest trail in the east? Better than Ridgeline? Check the video or better yet, judge it for yourself during an overnight stay in Cherokee. Trails are free of charge, and open every day, all day.

Inspired by the beauty and ingenuity of the Cherokee people, this is a cultural and historical tour without equal, one fused with interactive video, intriguing displays, and a full sensory experience. Step through our doors and discover up close the Cherokee people’s spirit of inventiveness, resilience, and will to survive. Let yourself be guided through a moving journey that illustrates who the people of Cherokee really are, where they came from, and why they’re still here. Keep a hankie close; Cherokee history is serious stuff.

Today's photo features me at the Livewell 3K run urging my daughter to the finish. It was so hot but we finished.
People gotta be better to each other.
We're all on the same journey.
It's so much better when your heart is filled with love and light.

Tips to avoid a hangover
Follow these tips to keep hangovers at bay:
Don't drink on an empty stomach. Before you go out, have a meal that includes carbohydrates (such as pasta or rice) or fats. The food will help slow down the body's absorption of alcohol.
Don't drink dark-coloured drinks if you've found that you're sensitive to them. They contain natural chemicals called congeners (impurities), which irritate blood vessels and tissue in the brain and can make a hangover worse.
Drink water or non-fizzy soft drinks in between each alcoholic drink. Carbonated (fizzy) drinks speed up the absorption of alcohol into your system.
Drink a pint or so of water before you go to sleep. Keep a glass of water by the bed to sip if you wake up during the night.
---------------
The morning after
If you wake up the next morning feeling terrible, you probably didn't follow this advice. Although there are no real cures for hangovers, there are ways to ease the symptoms.
Treatment involves rehydrating the body so it can deal with the painful symptoms, though the best time to rehydrate is before going to sleep.
Over-the-counter painkillers can help with headaches and muscle cramps. Paracetamol-based remedies are usually preferable, as aspirin may further irritate the stomach and increase nausea and sickness.
Sugary foods may help you feel less trembly. In some cases, an antacid may be needed to settle your stomach first.
Bouillon soup, a thin vegetable-based broth, is a good source of vitamins and minerals, which can top up depleted resources. Its main advantage is it's easy for a fragile stomach to digest.
You can replace lost fluids by drinking bland liquids that are easy on the digestive system, such as water, soda water and isotonic drinks (available in most shops).
"Hair of the dog" – drinking more alcohol – does not help. Drinking in the morning is a risky habit, and you may simply be delaying the appearance of symptoms until the alcohol wears off again.
If you've had a heavy drinking episode, hangover or not, doctors advise that you wait at least 48 hours before drinking any more alcohol to give your body tissues time to recover.
Sometimes, of course, a hangover makes that advice easier to follow.

Histoire
Les terres de Commelles, sont achetées par Louis VI le Gros à Guillaume de Mello et donnés en 1136 à l'abbaye de Chaalis. En 1151, une grange y est construite par cette abbaye cistercienne : c'est une exploitation agricole tenue par des moines convers. De cette grange, il subsiste la base de bâtiments datant du XIIIe siècle ainsi qu'un ancien four à tuiles. Les étangs eux-mêmes sont probablement aménagés dans le lit de la rivière dans la première décennie du XIIIe siècle comme le prouvent deux chartes de l'abbaye de Chaalis évoquant un vivier à poissons5.
L'extrémité des étangs sur le territoire actuel de la commune de Coye appartenant toujours au roi de France, ont été donné à l'abbaye de la Victoire, à proximité de Senlis, à sa fondation en 1223. Ils sont vendus peu de temps après en 1293 au seigneur Pierre de Chambly, seigneur de Viarmes5. Ne formant qu'un seul ensemble, l'étang est divisé en deux au début du XVe siècle, ce qui donne naissance à l'étang Chapron. Peu de temps après, un troisième étang est construit, c'est l'étang de la Loge de Viarmes, ou étang de la Loge. Sur un plan de 1480, on distingue quatre étangs : les étangs de Comelle, Chapron, de La Loge de Viarmes et de la Troublerie en aval. Ce dernier étang a depuis disparu ; ayant été asséché au XVIIe siècle, il n'apparaît plus sur le plan de 1863.
Pendant la Révolution française, les étangs sont mis sous séquestre puis vendus. Rachetés par Louis VI Henri de Bourbon-Condé en 1819, les bois environnants et les étangs servent de cadre aux chasses princières. De nombreux bat-l'eau s'y déroulent et les étangs sont souvent représentés dans les peintures de vénerie de l'époque. Les étangs sont légués à l'Institut de France qui en devient propriétaire en 1897
History | ]
Commelles land, purchased by Louis VI William de Mello and given in 1136 at the Abbey of Chaalis. In 1151, a barn is built by the Cistercian abbey is a farm run by lay monks. In this barn, there remains the basis of buildings dating from the thirteenth century and a former tile kiln. The ponds themselves are probably built in the riverbed in the first decade of the thirteenth century as evidenced by two charters of the abbey of Chaalis evoking a livewell poissons5.
The end of the ponds in the present territory of the municipality of Coye still belonging to the King of France, was given to the abbey of Victory, near Senlis, at its founding in 1223, they are sold shortly after in 1293 the lord Pierre de Chambly, Lord of Viarmes5. Forming one whole, the lake is divided into two in the early fifteenth century, giving rise to the pond Chapron. Shortly after, a third pond is built, it is the pond Lodge Viarmes or pond of the Lodge. A map of 1480, there are four ponds: ponds Comelle, Chapron, La Loge Viarmes and Troublerie downstream. The latter pond has since disappeared; having been drained in the seventeenth century, it no longer appears on the map of 1863.
During the French Revolution, the ponds are impounded and sold. Redeemed by Louis VI Henri de Bourbon-Condé in 1819, the surrounding woods and ponds provide a framework for princely hunting. Many bat-water held there and ponds are often depicted in paintings on hunting at the time. Ponds are bequeathed to the Institut de France, which became the owner in 1897

UK Chief Medical Officer's Alcohol Guidelines Review
January 2016.
***************
"The new guidelines suggest that both men and women should regularly drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week.
That's the equivalent of six small glasses of wine or five pints of beer at 5% ABV strength. Pregnant women should not drink at all.
Guidelines in the U.S. recommend that women should not exceed one standard drink per day and men should no more than two. That equates to 12 units a week for women and just over 24 for men.
Most worryingly, perhaps, the new UK advice suggests that there is no safe level of drinking -- and any amount of alcohol can increase the risk of cancer, according to new research."
— CNN
8 January 2016
***************
▶ On regular drinking.
"New weekly guideline [this applies for people who drink regularly or frequently i.e. most weeks].
The Chief Medical Officers’ guideline for both men and women is that:
• You are safest not to drink regularly more than 14 units per week, to keep health risks from drinking alcohol to a low level.
• If you do drink as much as 14 units per week, it is best to spread this evenly over 3 days or more. If you have one or two heavy drinking sessions, you increase your risks of death from long term illnesses and from accidents and injuries.
• The risk of developing a range of illnesses (including, for example, cancers of the mouth, throat and breast) increases with any amount you drink on a regular basis.
• If you wish to cut down the amount you’re drinking, a good way to help achieve this is to have several drink-free days each week."
— Chief Medical Officer, UK Department of Health
*****************
▶ Alcohol Units, explained.
"The idea of counting alcohol units was first introduced in the UK in 1987 to help people keep track of their drinking. Units are a simple way of expressing the quantity of pure alcohol in a drink.
One unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is around the amount of alcohol the average adult can process in an hour. This means that within an hour there should be, in theory, little or no alcohol left in the blood of an adult, although this will vary from person to person.
The number of units in a drink is based on the size of the drink as well as its alcohol strength. For example, a pint of strong lager contains 3 units of alcohol, whereas the same volume of standard lager has just over 2 units.
You can work out how many units there are in any drink by multiplying the total volume of a drink (in ml) by its ABV (which is measured as a percentage) and dividing the result by 1,000.
Strength (ABV) x volume (ml) ÷ 1,000 = units.
For example, to work out the number of units in a pint (568ml) of strong lager (ABV 5.2%):
5.2 (%) x 568 (ml) ÷ 1,000 = 2.95 units."
