I surfed through all of the courses and found several I'm interested in. I signed up for one of them today. It's called "Get Assertive." I read the course over view and they had a demo class that I checked out. I was impressed and have been looking for just this kind of thing to help get me out of my sniveling victomdum. I'm quite excited.

I still feel excited about midwifery and naturopathy, but I think I need to put them on the back burner for a while. I'm realizing that I have some very basic stuff that I need to attend to first before I try and become a Dr. I am sure it will happen, just not as soon as I had originally thought.

Notes: My attempt to establish one melody and vary it with different harmonies. Of course, I don't establish said melody until halfway through. Whoops. And, yeah, I need to clean up the drums in the beginning. Just ran out of patience at the time.

First on the agenda: I've used the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney as an example in class discussions more times than I can count over the past year. Its online collection database uses both professionally-created categories and a folksonomy in a way that I think bears examination and imitation. Now, according to Lorcan Dempsey, the Powerhouse is working with Flickr in a big way. This just gets better and better.

Second up: Wikipedia is working its way into academia, not as a reference, but as a project in and of itself.

Finally, Jenica Rogers-Urbanek detailed the work she and her colleagues did to provide stress-busters for finals-ravaged students. I forwarded this to some of my colleagues, and we may decide to give this a go. It's simply a great idea.

Many entrepreneurs, activists, and marketers are leveraging the social web for positive change. In the process and by its very nature, they are giving each of us the tools to change the world and make it a better place. There are thousands of examples, which is precisely why Max Gladwell exists. Here are 10 worth exploring.

The Most Absurd Laws from Around the World [DivineCaroline] - I imagine that the reason most of these laws and bans still exist is that no one has gotten around to changing them. However, they’re totally worth laughing at and leave you imagining where the hell they might have come from.

6 news way to break writer's block [SheGeeks]

Posting headlining news is no easy feat. In fact, posting anything at all can become a task in and of itself. Making the news or even contributing to the "echo chamber effect" can be a tough thing to do when news is slow. So, here a few new ways to break through writer’s block.

If you like to play a little guitar in between reading Make Use Of and surfing the internet then I am sure you’ve often wished for a few tools to help you learn and improve your guitar playing. Unfortunately most decent guitar software and tools are either commercial or shareware.

This list is short, but provides you with all the essential tools and resources to learn and improve your guitar playing.

How to download Firefox 2 extensions using Firefox 3 from the Mozilla Add-ons site [Daily Gyan]

If you have been brave enough to try out Firefox 3, you might have noticed that a lot of extension in the Firefox addons site is unavailable to you.
This is because those extensions were made for Firefox 2 and are hence not supported in FF3. So, the good folks at Mozilla have completely disabled downloading of such addons, if you browse to the addon page using Firefox 3.

ABOUT BARKMATE!

I'm still stuffy, sniffly, and snotty although I feel tons better than I did last week which is why I thought today I would have good results with the neti pot.

I put it in my right nostril -- the clogged one -- and it came out of my left nostril in drips. I switched and again it came out in drips although it took a couple seconds longer to make it through the mucus* but it did. Again, though, my right ear got some fluid in it and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's supposed to be like that...? Or maybe my body is that way.

I don't feel any better or worse than I did although now I'm starting to get a slight sinus headache above my eyes and, of course, my nose is running again. But if it's all part of recovery I'll suck it up. (Well, not literally, that'd be gross).

In the spirit of full disclosure, I have been taking some expired Allegra Wolf was prescribed in 2005. I've been taking it at night so I can get some sleep (and so Wolf can get some sleep too) because I'd gotten to the point where I just couldn't take it any more. Because I wasn't sleeping I wasn't getting better. One can't get better if they can't sleep. And poor Wolf wasn't sleeping either and that makes for an unproductive day at work, which in turns makes a cranky Wolf. So with the idea of keeping my man employed, I took some Allegra. I put me to sleep and made us both happy.

Kim was nice enough to get me some Allergy Relief Herbal Tea from Wise River Herbals. Wise River Herbals is run out of D Acres. Kim and I have been taking an herbal class there but I had to miss Sunday's class because I felt like total shit. You see, I managed to get a migraine so I brought my ass right home and to bed from the grocery store and she went without me. Lauren, the herbalist who is teaching the class, asked where I was and Kim explained I was on my death bed.

I was fully intending to take an herbalist class at Misty Meadows this year but couldn't come up with the $1500. I've been wanting to take this particular herbalist class for the last couple years so I can "get off" pharmaceuticals and treat our illnesses the way I think they should be treated: with herbs and plants. I'll be the first to admit when I'm miserable I'll do anything for relief. If that means taking something poisonous to get to sleep and/or feel better, I'll do it if my body isn't healing in the time I'd like it too. Mostly, though, I take the drugs because I don't know how to treat illnesses with herbs, hence the classes. And the desire to take a full course to be a "true" herbalist. Learning from books just doesn't do it for me, I need the hands on instruction of someone in the know.

*Wolf said to me last week "I'm impressed with the sheer volume of mucus you body produces. I didn't think anyone could make that much snot that fast." Um, thanks Babe. I think.

Updated to add: it's been a 1/2 hour and how my head is *pounding*. Ug. I think me and the neti pot are breaking up. I'll give it one more chance when (if) I feel better but if the headache happens again, I'm booting neti to the curb like The Worst Boyfriend I Ever Had (O'Hal).

After a thrilling weekend of games the 47th Blood Bowl is over once more. The weekend was full of expert and veteran coaches all out for the fabled prize and to forever be remembered in the history books. In the end the High Elf team "Badass Ninja White Isle Fumbblites" who won the gold beating the amazon team "Penis Envy"

The two HDWSBBL teams, the Loren Rangers and Ragner's Swift Velocity didn't have the best weekend but still had an amazing time and gained a lot of knowledge. Next year will be the XLVIII (48th) Blood Bowl tournament and there is no doubt that the HDWSBBL will be there.
