Pop star Justin Bieber broke down in tears at the end of his performance at the MTV Video Music Awards because he was expecting to be booed after making a number of mistakes during the set.
The Baby hitmaker made his big comeback at the awards show in Los Angeles on Sunday night (30Aug15) after an extended break from music, during which he suffered numerous personal problems and brushes with the law.
Bieber was seen crying on stage as the crowd cheered him at the end of his show, and the singer now reveals he was expecting a negative reaction from the audience.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he explains, "It was so overwhelming for me, everything... I missed some cues so I was a little disappointed at that... Honestly, I just wasn't expecting them to support me in the way they did. Last time I was at an awards show (at the Billboard Music Awards in 2013) I was booed... I think it's just like I've worked so hard at this (new) album and at becoming the man I want to become, and then stepping into situations, you just can't help but feel judged...
"So I was just feeling judged and wanting to win so badly, and wanting to do what I love so badly that I just put everything on the line. And I think that that was what was so special about the emotional moment at the end, that it was authentic. It was real. I was really just wanting it so bad."
Bieber's song with Skrillex and Diplo, Where Are U Now, landed an award for best visual effects at the VMAs on Sunday.

I'm going through the exact same thing right now with a man and I know how hard it is. I'm at the point where he's (sorta) back and it's very hard.
I don't know how you can tell if he's someone from a past life; I guess you just feel something is there that can't be explained; something beyond chemistry, love or hormones. I know I feel the same with my man, I'm pretty sure there's some karmic debt or something similar there. I'm still not sure if there's something that needs to be fixed or if it's just a relationship we had in the past and that's why we feel connected.
I'm sorry I don't have an advice for you, but I wanted to let you know you are not alone, someone else is going through that as well and understands very well.
Hope things work out for you and you find your peace!
Blessings and hugs!

5 out of 5 stars
I admit my partner and I were skeptical at first. This was our first time coming up with an invention, understanding the whole process and concerned that our money would be either wasted or misappropriated. Nothing of the sort happened. As a matter of fact Derek and his firm far exceeded our expectations. We were kept abreast every single step of the way. Any charge was specifically and carefully explained. Each update was sent to us almost immediately. Our questions were asked either the same day or early the next. As time went on we became more impressed with the shortened time frame and rapid responses we received from the Patent & Trademark Office. We can happily and confidently say we are indebted to Derek and his team for their absolute professionalism, superior integrity and delicate handling of our discomforts as new inventors with no real understanding of this process at all. When we do come out with our second product there is no reason to Google any other company. Derek and the Plus IP Firm has a customer for life.
Other than being very professional, providing great service and results, I really appreciate their genuine concern regarding my case. Jill was really awesome, and timely in all my email request. Great Job overall!!
Very professional and caring. Working with Derek and Jill is like working with family!! We certainly appreciate their expertise and patience.

"Where are the most relaxing places in Indonesia?"
We want to spend 5 weeks in Indonesia, but not Sumatra, Java or Bali.
We are thinking to Flores, Komodo, etc.
Is there nice wildlife there? Good places for relaxing?
Maybe there are other places in Indonesia that are well worth a visit, like Sulawesi. What do you suggest?
Need more information? Question already been asked? Let the poster know!

I definitely recommend Flores Island and Komodo for adventure and wildlife -- we based ourselves in Flores and did a couple of diving day tours around komodo (the diving is A-mazing), a day trip to komodo Island and a safari tour. The main town on Flores is very quiet - there isn't a beach and unless you have a vehicle you're sort of stuck in the small town, so I wouldn't recommend it for your whole vacation. However, it's a must-visit place. Nusa Lembongan, which is classed as Bali but away from the main island, is stunning and very relaxing. The Gili Islands are gorgeous too, I'd recommend Gili Air or Gili Meno island if you want somewhere quiet :-) have an amazing trip!!
Ask for clarification, suggest corrections, or give thanks!

(PRWEB) March 08, 2016
Xicato, a leading manufacturer of intelligent LED light sources, today announced that the Xicato Intelligent Module (XIM) has received the Sapphire Award from LEDs Magazine in the category Modular LED Light Engines. The award was presented last week at a special event associated with the Strategies In Light conference in Santa Clara, California.
Intelligent LED Light Modules form a new category of product that integrates an LED array with a feature rich electronic driver in a single compact module. These products simplify luminaire design and assembly, typically enable smaller fixtures, and reduce the need by OEMs to inventory separate drivers for each array. Integrated modules are predicted to become the platform of choice for implementation of intelligent, wirelessly controlled lighting.
Xicato XIM stands out because of the color quality of the array, the quality of the dimming, the integration of internal sensors, data tracking and storage. It supports different control protocols, including 1-10V, DALI, and soon Bluetooth Low Energy. Xicato is well known for color quality and consistency, including an industry-unique warranty for color consistency over lifetime. The XIM provides deep, smooth dimming to 0.1%, and complies with IEEE 1789 flicker standard. It incorporates sensors that track and store operating hours, intensity and temperature history, input voltage, and several other parameters, enabling a 7 year or 50,000 hour verifiable warranty on the entire module, including both the LEDs and the electronics.
"LEDs Magazine has become a leading voice in the LED industry, and the Strategies In Light conference is one of the major educational events addressing issues and opportunities associated with LED technology -- one that we have supported for many years," said Menko De Roos, CEO of Xicato. "Xicato is privileged to have contributed four speakers to different panels at the event this year. Conference attendees can, in just a few days, catch up on advances in everything from color quality measurement, to new standards, to lighting controls and IoT."
The XIM product is available today in Artist Series(r), Standard Series, and Vibrant Series(r), in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K CCT, and in 9mm and 19mm light emitting surfaces. See XIM and all the Xicato products by visiting Xicato at Light+Building in Frankfurt, Germany, March 13-18. Our light hearted booth - Xicato Man's headquarters - is both entertaining and informative, with regular demonstrations, invited speakers, and areas where visitors can play with BLE lighting control, learn about TM-30, and much more.
About Xicato:
Xicato designs and develops light sources and electronics that enable architects, designers and building managers to create beautiful, smart spaces in which people love to live and work. With thousands of installations around the globe, Xicato continues to be a leading supplier of high quality lighting solutions. Xicato is defining the future of intelligent light sources by integrating electronics, software and connectivity. Founded in 2007, Xicato is headquartered in Silicon Valley and has offices in China, Japan, Europe and the US.

Marriage à la Mode, a series of six etchings by English engraver and painter William Hogarth, was printed as social commentary for the 18th- century audience comparable to our modern dramas. In this series Hogarth focuses on the misery of an arranged marriage between the daughter of an upper-class merchant family and the son of a destitute noble family attempting to maintain their wealthy status. At a time when arranged marriages were the subject of numerous deliberations, this series exemplifies Hogarth's belief in its dangers as he depicts the unflattering and tragic events of the bride and groom and their respective families.
The concluding print of this series takes place in the home of the young widow's family. Hysterical after hearing the news of her lover Silvertongue's execution for the slaying of her husband, she has attempted suicide by overdosing on pills. As she takes her last breaths, her young child is held up for her to see one last time. Standing at her side is her father who is seen stealing from his dying daughter as he slips her wedding ring from her finger. Ultimately, Hogarth has depicted the tragic fates of those obsessed with greed and the terrible consequences of their decisions.

Following my last post about what to measure (and hopefully show progress) – I then got to thinking about how I keep track of it all? Do I really need to track it all – or is it a case of Too Much Information?
I recently bought myself some new fitness "toys" – new scales and body fat calipers 😮
At the start of all this I was just using a notepad and pen, but a few weeks later I started tracking everything on an Excel spreadsheet so that it looked neater and easier to read and it also meant I could create graphs and charts etc (such a geek – lol).
The list of what I want to track seem to expand daily:
-Weight, Body Fat, Body Water, Bone Mass, Muscle Mass, Blood Pressure, HR, Size Measurements, Calories, Steps, Sleep, Weights lifted…….
So here we are little later and my Excel skills don't seem to be able to cope with the level of information I want to record – so I thought there may be a smartphone app that could do the job for me.
The amount of fitness apps on both Google Play and iTunes is scary and it was hard to know where to start but the logical place was to start with the ones that I was already using to see if they were up to the job.
I have a Withings Pulse activity tracker – so looked at their app & website first:
Withings Health Mate
Automatically records my daily steps, height climbed, amount and quality of sleep and heart rate (if I use the scanner) however all other stats I would need to manually input eg. weight, blood pressure etc. Unfortunately the app doesn't let you set your own goals and it's also pretty limited in what else it will let you track – no workouts, calories, size measurements……. so this isn't going to be the one.
My tracker does also sync with my calorie counter app so I had a look at that one too:
My Fitness Pal
Does a great job at keeping track of your calories (fantastic database) though it's a bit of a ball-ache having to find each separate ingredient and approximate weight of what you actually consume as part of your home cooked meals eg. spag bol, chilli, casseroles etc. but does help to make sure that you reach your calorie goals (taking your exercise into account) and can provide a good breakdown of the nutritional value of what your eating in terms of carbs, protein and so on.
It does allow you to add strength training exercises and weights/reps used – but does not assign any calorie value to these and you can't actually track your progress with them….. .. looks like I will just be keeping this one for my food diary.
No luck as yet – so I've been spending the last couple of weeks trying out some of the more popular apps:
Addidas MiCoach
I'm a big fan of the Addidas brand and seeing the recent ads on TV – had big hopes for this. Using their status the app has the additional element of having Andy Murray (or a choice of a couple of other voices) as your motivational coach (a bit like a sat nav for your sessions) telling you to "speed-up", "keep going", "one more rep" etc.
The ad gives the impression that you can use it for all sorts of sport or fitness activities – in reality if you haven't bought the relevent specialist gizmo to go with it (eg. activity tracker) then it's a little limited. Looks great for running, jogging, cycling etc but everything else comes under "Other".
It does give you some weight routines but assumes you have access to cable weights, bosu ball etc. and tracking wise it lets you track what exercise you've done, weight and waist size and can give you great stats about any running that you've done but that's about it – no progress on weights lifted, size, BMI……. next!
Similar to MiCoach – seems to be most popular but again focuses more on outdoor activities like running, tracking distance, duration and speed. It does have options for other fitness like swimming and bodycombat but when it comes to weight training you cannot break it down to a particular routine…… out the window it goes.
Fitness Buddy
This one focuses a little more on the weight training. It has an impressive list of exercises and equipment and it offers a great of set routines based on focus area/level/equipment or you can create your own. Unfortunately, tracking progress is only on weight lifted for each exercise…… sigh.
At last an overall fitness tracker and looks stunning. It has a great list of cardio exercises and offers apparently thousands of weight routines, or you can create your own and allows you to track weight, body fat, size measurements, total weight lifted each session and breaks down the percentage of body parts worked.
It has a web version and there is an "Elite" option (appx £25/yr or £5/mth) that offers "deeper" and additional progress tracking and workouts. Sadly the additional tracking does not include the additional measures I was hoping for like blood pressure, body water and calories.
The weight routines are also a bit funny in that when you start a particular exercise it also has a timer for resting in between sets (which you can skip or cut short) and there isn't an easy way to switch round the order of the routine (eg if a particular machine was busy).
Looked really promising – but not quite fitting what I wanted.
Similar to Jefit (though not quite as swish looking) and offers similar functionality in that if offers a number of set routines depending on focus area, equipment, level or create your own and also includes a list of other exercises and classes. The free version only allows you to create one routine (though you can copy/amend it numerous times) however limits the list of weight exercises/routines available and you can track weight, waist size, body fat and heart rate.
The "Pro" version (similar cost as Jefit) offers all routines/exercises and more importantly a huge list of tracking measurements! The other feature I liked was that it allows you to complete a routine in whatever order you want and simply tick it off a list.
Again it's till not got everything that I was looking for but it's the closest I've seen so far – I'm going to give it a month to trial it – otherwise it's back to my humongous spreadsheet 🙂
Does anyone else use any others or any of the above? Or do you just write it down on good ol' fashioned paper? Let me know.

Preserving Native Habitats in Louisiana
Giving Back to Nature by Protecting Native Flora and Fauna
Scientists from all over the world, like Douglas Tallamy the author of Bringing Nature Home, are advocating using native plants in sustainable, ecologically balanced gardens in suburban and urban yards to help bring back the beneficial insects that are so necessary for a healthy planet. We have put together some tips to help you create your own backyard wildlife habitat that will provide a haven for you and our precious wildlife.
Before Hurricane Katrina, Louisiana was blessed with an abundance of native plants and animals, but in August, 2005, the storm damage and the building boom that followed destroyed thousands of acres of precious natural habitat. Today many concerned individuals and organizations in South Louisiana and all over the United States are trying to preserve and replant natural areas. We can do it, if we all try by rebuilding one habitat at a time.

Black and Blue Damselfly
Natural Habitat is Important
Habitat, Habitat, Habitat.... If you plant it, they will come. To attract wildlife to your garden you must provide the 3 major requirements for the survival of any creature:
Food - in the form of plants (nectar, berry, and nut producing) and/or feeders.
Shelter/Cover/Nesting Sites - Evergreens are especially important for wintering Hummingbirds and natives are preferred nesting sites. Nest boxes can also be a pleasing addition to the garden or dead trees and limbs can be left standing.
Water - from a large pond to a birdbath, but dripping or moving water is most appealing.
Ruby-throated on Red Morning Glory & Giant Swallowtail Postcard by naturegirl7
Ruby-throated on Red Morning Glory
Our property is a registered National Wildlife Federation Backyard Habitat (number 21325). We do everything possible to keep it natural and wild since natural wildlife habitats in the area are being destroyed at such a rapid pace. You don't have to have a large piece of property, even a small backyard can become a sanctuary for wild creatures.
Giant Swallowtail Butterfly on Vervain
Food can be provided in a number of ways. In our habitat we plant many low maintenance native and old-fashioned plants that provide nectar, berries, fruit and nuts while also sustaining insects, another source of food. We also supplement the natural diet with a number of different feeders.
Natural Food
Here are some of the creatures favorites:
Nectar Producing for Hummingbirds and Butterflies - Salvias, Indian Pink (Spigellia marilandica), Coral Honeysuckle (Lonceria sempervirens), Black-eyed Susan family (Rudbeckia spp.), Coreopsis, Morning Glory (Ipomoea spp.). See more at our Hummingbird Gardening and our Gardening to Attract and Sustain Butterflies lenses.
Berries, Fruit and Nuts - Red Mulberry (Morus rubra), Flowering Dogwood (Cornus floridia), Black Cherry ( Prunus serotina), Huckleberry and Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.), Oak, Pecan and Hickory to name a few.
Supplemental Feeders
Sugar Water - Make your own mixture, using white, granulated sugar at 4 parts water to 1 part sugar (ex. 1 cup of water to 1/4 cup of sugar). No boiling is required, just mix until the sugar is dissolved. Store extra in the refrigerator. Soak the feeders in a mild bleach solution for an hour when they look moldy. Don't soak too long or the plastic and metal parts will become corroded.
Seed - We feed Sunflower, cracked and whole corn (mostly for the birds) and Golden Nuggets (for the mammals).
Suet - We make our own suet. A wide variety of birds visit our suet feeder. We put it out year-round, so we make a "no-melt" kind that can take the summer heat.
Here's the recipe:
Home Made Suet2 cups (1 block) of LARD (animal fat)
1 cup CRUNCHY Peanut butter (cheap kind)
1 cup of Oatmeal
1 cup of unbleached flour
1 cup of cornmeal or wheat germ
Melt the lard a little in a big glass bowl (30 sec. in the microwave) and mix all of the ingredients together. It gets messy so let the kids get involved, they'll love it! Line a rectangular pan with a sheet of wax paper and press the mixture in. Pop it in the freezer for an hour or so, then cut it into blocks. We find that smaller ones (4" x 2") work best because the birds eat it before it can mildew in the hot, humid weather. Store the blocks in a ziploc bag in the freezer and refill your suet feeder as needed.
Mealworms for the Bluebirds
Mealworms are the larval form of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, a species of darkling beetle. The darkling beetle goes through four life-stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Larvae typically measure about 2.5cm or more, whereas adults are generally between 1.25 and 1.8cm in length.
Mealworms are used as a food source for reptile and avian pets. They are also put out for wild birds in bird feeders, particularly during the nesting season when birds are raising their young. They can be purchased at most pet stores and are also available via mail order and the internet. Mealworms are usually sold in a container with bran or oatmeal for food. Mealworm feeders are available on-line or you can make your own. Mealworms are easy to raise and many lessons can be learned during the process.

Good quality bird feeders provide one of the four habitat needs.
Vermicomposting YouTube vid
A regular compost pile provides rich soil for the garden while providing the birds with insects and some earthworms to eat, but vermi-composting goes a step further by providing rich worm castings and many, many earthworms to till your garden and provide food for the creatures in your habitat.

Prothonotary Warbler Dances on His House Top
Shelter and Nesting Sites
A variety of tall and understory, mostly native, trees and shrubs will provide places for the birds to seek shelter. Evergreens are especially good for winter shelter during cold weather. These trees and shrubs will also be used by most birds during the nesting season. But all birds and animals do not nest in shrubs and the branches of trees. Many either drill out a cavity in a rotten area of a tree or use one that another bird made. So we leave as many dead trees up as we can. We only take them down if they endanger structures or automobiles. Many of the cavity nesting birds will also use man-made nest boxes, so we maintain a nest box trail of about 30 nest boxes of various sizes that are used by a variety of birds on our property.

Anole in Goldenrod
A source of water is extremely important in a backyard habitat. Dripping or running water is best, but a bird bath will do. Today there are a variety of water features that you can add to your garden. There are even solar powered pumps and some charge batteries so that they run, even when the sun is down. Misters are great for the birds, too. In fact ours flock to any area that we are watering to take advantage of the sprinkler.

Bringing Nature Home
Book Review and Commentary - Bringing Nature Home
Wilson enlightened us many years ago, as to the importance of insects in the whole scheme of things with his infamous quote:
"If humans were to disappear, the effects on the insect world would be minimal. It's unlikely a single insect species would go extinct except three forms of body and head lice. (Close relatives of the parasites could still live on gorillas.) The complex web of life would continue "minus all the species we have pushed into extinction." But if insects were to disappear, Wilson speaks of "an ecological dark age" where "the survivors would offer prayers for the return of weeds and bugs."
Gulf Fritillary Duo
Honeysuckle Native Azalea
He goes on to say, "Because it is we who decide what plants will grow in our gardens, the responsibility for our nation's biodiversity lies largely with us." While many people talk about the good old days, when a kid could go outside and catch a whole jar full of Lightening Bugs in a few minutes and they mourn the loss of the birds and butterflies they continue to cut down the native trees, shrubs and wildflowers that support these wondrous creatures, only to replace them with alien species that are usually not suitable for our climate or our wildlife.
Salvia coccinea with Hoover Fly
Plant Natives Monarch Butterflies
Hummingbird Moth and Monarda fistulosa
Along with these problems come, what he considers the number one problem for biodiversity, paving with impervious surfaces. The second most serious blow against biodiversity is our love affair with sterile lawns. All over the world, 12% of bird species are being threatened with extinction due to habitat loss. We have taken their homes, their food and filled the world with dangerous obstacles like highways and high rise buildings filled with glass windows, to mention a few.
But Tallamy says that all is not lost if we act NOW, before masses of species are extinct. Humans can live in harmony with a variety of plant and animal species and must start to design living spaces that will accommodate both humans and wildlife in a functioning sustainable ecosystem that supports biodiversity.
Because humans have already impacted nature on almost every place on the planet, we must discard the idea of "pristine nature" and go forth with a program of "reconciliation ecology" (Michael Rosenzweig, 2003) to redesign human habitats to accommodate other species. By replacing exotic turf lawns and alien plants with food producing, insect / wildlife friendly native plants in our suburban yards we can take a giant step towards preventing the catastrophic blow to our food supply that the failure of animal pollinated fruits and vegetables would cause.
Wildflowers of Louisiana
Even though the book is written from a "northern" perspective, some southern flora and fauna are also covered. The message of this book can not be ignored. We must act now to save the insects and to save the Earth.

Louisiana Flora and Fauna for the Children's Corner
Bringing nature home and preserving native flora and fauna can be a family affair, full of learning opportunities. Children are our future. If they learn about ecosystems and biodiversity when they are young, they will be able to make intelligent decisions when they are older. Here are some great native plant and animal books for the little ones.

Thank you. Just downloaded.
i suggest the new thinbasic ide which are based on scintella have the option
so the strings we write in the IDE go to its variables in the form as needed. this is what was in purebasic in v5.46LTS before turning to a complete unicode which many users don't like.
about the scintella editor look:
Will try for next update

Hi Eros,
When you update the file encoding section, please include a "Default Encoding" option.
here is how i run the new thinAir and the Old thinair :
install thinbasic 1.10.5 from the link at the top of this page.
rename the thinAir folder to thinAirNEW, and make a shortcut for this file : C:\thinBasic\thinAirNEW\thinAir.exe as thinAirNEW
copy thinAir folder from the old installation of v1.10.4 to the new thinbasic installation folder and rename it as thinAirOLD and make a shortcut to its thinAir.exe file as thinAirOLD
look the picture:
so you can run the new scintella IDE which support unicode and the old IDE which suport asci
what is important is that every version of thinAir loads its own open files

"To increase balance within, surround yourself with all possibility; mentally, physically, and spiritually.
You are a Divine Goddess, empower yourself!"
Surround yourself with those who love and support you.
Believe in yourself and all of the strength you possess.
Remain open to learning new things, but still knowing that you are intelligent.
Take care of your body and most importantly LOVE your body. Women tend to fall victim to "fat talk" among each other. Stop it. Your body is beautiful and you aren't doing it any favors by putting it down.
Connect to something spiritually. Even if that is being inspired by the courageous women of the past. Believe in something bigger than you. Not something that is "out to get you" but something that has your back. You can believe in anything you like and none of them are wrong. Just remember that they are always smiling upon you, supporting you and protecting you.
I have never been much of a feminist but I saw this the other day and it felt so good to read and repeat to myself.
I am a Divine Goddess.
How beautiful does that make you feel?
Take it with you today and recognize it in your fellow Goddesses.
We are all the same. Which as women we have been brought up not to see that, but we are.
The more you shine light on the good of others, the more light will be shined upon you.
You can recognize it in men too.
We are all miracles made out of love.

The clown-like cartoon creations of Kin Hubbard can be seen throughout the area. Hubbard's main character, Abe Martin, made his debut on December 17, 1904 in the Indianapolis News. Long known as the "face" of Brown County, Abe appeared in over 300 newspapers and 24 books detailing the country life.
In 1949, the Brown County Playhouse started an exciting theatre tradition in the hills of southern Indiana.
Bluegrass great Bill Monroe made Bean Blossom his home away from home for more than forty years. In June, 1967 he held his first two-day bluegrass festival. It is the world's oldest bluegrass festival.
Since 1983, Peggy Melchior and Heidi Shackelford of the Melchior Marionette Theatre have entertained visitors of all ages from around the world with their hand-crafted, half life-size cabaret marionettes.
Indiana's greatest contribution to the history of American art was the art colony that began in Brown County in the early 1900's.
Kin Hubbard character, Miss Abigail Ainsley is thought to be a very good gardener, a tradition that continues to this day in Brown County.

With standards as high as Pixar, is Brave just not great by the animated studio's inordinate heights or is it just not all that great? Alongside Dreamworks's comparable effort How To Train Your Dragon and the similar fairytale-like qualities of Shrek, Brave is an enjoyable effort but just doesn't stand up in comparison.
It plays out very simply as Pixar having a go at writing its own fairytale. Merida is a young girl, an archer, living in the 10th century Scottish Highlands who doesn't what to follow her parents wishes that she must follow custom and marry a Lord. She runs off and encounters a witch in the woods who grants her a wish, which isn't quite as idyllic as she hoped…
It's good fun. It's certainly funny with plenty of visual gags and it's well setup. It's just remarkably unmemorable and the story lacks magic to payoff the emotion which the film's well-developed opening deserves. There's a vague attempt to try and give the film some catharsis but writing in something about how 'we shape our own destiny' just feels completely redundant and cheesy, which aren't words you can use too often with Pixar. The ending is rushed and underwhelming which really lets down a good opening and solid middle. But for a family film it is absolutely fine and there's plenty to enjoy despite the too-dark 3D. Brave is just played a little too safe for my liking.
Review by David Rank
Brave is out on 13th August in the UK. Certificate PG (UK). Running time 100 mins.
Comments and feedback are always welcome or just give the film a rating by using the stars at the top.

These decorative little 8" circular risers come in several sizes to help you create the perfect look at your next catering event. They are made with solid cast acrylic as we never use plastics in our designs. This offers several benefits to catering companies as your LED risers will never yellow in the sunlight and will have nice flat surfaces for placing your items. Plastics do yellow over time and the tops are generally uneven. Also, cast acrylic just looks much nicer with it's high gloss modern appearance off or on.
When designing these lighted risers we asked what caterers needed and built them around your suggestions. Each riser can run with or without plugs. Underneath, you'll find a recessed compartment that houses the optional rechargeable battery packs. All caterROUNDS operate on universal remotes too, so that you can change them on the fly in seconds with one click.
If your still using outdated risers on your food displays be sure to check out caterROUNDS today!

I've been photographing this gorgeous family since mom was pregnant with the cute little girl you see here and now she's pregnant with their second baby. It's been a fun journey to watch this family grow and be able to document their milestones. It's also fun being pregnant with my clients who generously share their knowledge and experiences with this new mom. Maternity sessions have always been one of my favorite things to shoot and now that I'm becoming a mother they're even more special to me now. What an amazing time in a woman's and family's life.
Click below to see more photos of this sweet family!
P.S. My Holiday mini-sessions are all booked up in November but I still have a few spots left in October and maybe even end of this month. Email me to reserve the last spots! nina @ loveandlemonade.com (no spaces)

In proportion to the love existing among men, so will be the community of property and power. Among true and real friends, all is common; and, were ignorance and envy and superstition banished from the world, all mankind would be friends. The only perfect and genuine republic is that which comprehends every living being. Those distinctions which have been artificially set up, of nations, societies, families, and religions, are only general names, expressing the abhorrence and contempt with which men blindly consider their fellowmen.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common, long-term condition of the digestive system. It can cause bouts of stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation.
The symptoms vary between individuals and affect some people more severely than others. They tend to come and go in periods lasting a few days to a few months at a time, often during times of stress or after eating certain foods. You may find some of the symptoms of IBS ease after going to the toilet and opening your bowels.
IBS is thought to affect up to one in five people at some point in their life, and it usually first develops when a person is between 20 and 30 years of age. Around twice as many women are affected as men. The condition is often lifelong, although it may improve over several years.
When to see your GP
See your GP if you think you have IBS symptoms, so they can try to determine the cause.
Your GP may be able to identify IBS based on your symptoms, although blood tests may be needed to rule out other conditions.
What causes IBS?
The exact cause of IBS is unknown, but most experts think that it's related to increased sensitivity of the gut and problems digesting food.
These problems may mean that you are more sensitive to pain coming from your gut, and you may become constipated or have diarrhoea because your food passes through your gut either too slowly or too quickly.
Psychological factors such as stress may also play a part in IBS.
How is IBS treated?
There is no cure for IBS, but the symptoms can often be managed by making changes to your diet and lifestyle.
For example, it may help to:
- identify and avoid foods or drinks that trigger your symptoms
- alter the amount of fibre in your diet
- exercise regularly
- reduce your stress levels.
Medication is sometimes prescribed for people with IBS to treat the individual symptoms they experience.
If you have been diagnosed with IBS by your GP, you can obtain medication from your pharmacist without prescription. Your CarePlus Pharmacist will advise you on what treatments are most suitable for you.
Living with IBS
IBS is unpredictable. You may go for many months without any symptoms, then have a sudden flare-up. The condition can also be painful and debilitating, which can have a negative impact on your quality of life and emotional state. Many people with IBS will experience feelings of depression and anxiety, at some point.
Speak to your GP if you have feelings of depression or anxiety that are affecting your daily life. These problems rarely improve without treatment and your GP can recommend treatments such as antidepressants or cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which can help you cope with IBS, as well as directly treating the condition.
With appropriate medical and psychological treatment, you should be able to live a normal, full and active life with IBS. IBS does not pose a serious threat to your physical health and does not increase your chances of developing cancer or other bowel-related conditions.
For more advice, information and support, speak to your CarePlus Pharmacist.

Reviews right from our Angies List page.
From first meeting with Ramiro in our driveway to the cleanup after a quick and efficient job, the Rodriguez company excelled. Ramiro and his partner, Craig, were working right along with their crew for most of the time, giving us confidence that everything was done as promised and in the best ways possible..
I was very pleased. Mr Rodriguez was prompt, friendly and very professional. He could have tried to up-sell me work that was't needed, but didn't. I would definitely go to him again and highly recommend him.

Another interesting wooden object I've recently come across is this cigar drying box. After cigars were hand-rolled or removed from their mold, they were once placed in these primitive objects and left to dry.
The reason I call them "primitive" is because of their design; while they might make you think of the functionality of flat files, the resemblance between the two objects is visual only. At first I thought these would be perfect for storing hand tools, saw blades et cetera, but these are not pull-out drawers; there are no runners at all. The pull-outs are simply individual trays that rest on the ones below them, and the exterior is a mere four-sided box (no back) to keep dust off the cigars.
In other words, if you pull a tray out of the middle, the ones above come out with it or drop down to take the removed tray's place. This is presumably because the cigarmaking workflow meant the piece was loaded and unloaded just once per batch, obviating the need (and added cost) of constructing proper drawers.
If you were to build one of these to hold hand tools, so that the trays served as proper drawers, how would you design it? My first thought was you could construct the drawer bottoms out of masonite, make them slightly wider than the drawers themselves, and have the overlap slide into kerfs cut into the interiors of either side. But I suspect drawers this wide would start to sag in the middle, depending on how heavy the tools were, so the things would need to be made narrower (killing some of their visual appeal). Any ideas?

Lendinero's blog on Growing Your Business
Lendinero will provide business workshops to PSE clients and the business community in South Florida
(Miami, FL) October 19, 2013 – Founder of Lendinero, Gil Zapata has been speaking to business owners and providing free workshops at Partners for Self-Employment Inc. for over 1 year. Today, the company has strengthened its relationship and partnership with Partners for Self-Employment Inc (PSE).
Lendinero will be sending numerous Funding Advisors to provide on-going workshops at PSE Inc. to discuss the changes, challenges, and opportunities in obtaining alternative financing and small business loans. The workshops will enable PSE's clients and entrepreneurs obtain information on new programs and technology that have enabled small business owners obtain alternative capital. While Lendinero focuses on cash flow driven loans, they will discuss other options which they don't offer to include crowdfunding, sba interim loans, and structured financing.
Currently, there are over 20 million small business owners in the United States and only about 10% can obtain a bank loan. South Florida Business owners continue to feel the pressure and challenges in accessing traditional means of capital to expand, sustain, and grow their businesses. Lendinero's partnership with Partners for Self Employment's objective is to educate South Florida Business Owners and small business owners around the nation on how to access new funding channels. These workshops will be available on-line to the small business owners all around the nation. The Lendinero team will inform business owners on how they can strategically position themselves to obtain alternative funding and become bankable in the future. Today, aside from Lendinero.com there are a number of on-line players to include: kabbage.com, kickstarter.com, lendingclub.com, and others who are niche lenders. Most of these lenders do not have stringent requirements like the banks. They have designed different underwriting models and some don't even base a credit decision on personal credit score to obtain small business loans.
"We have partnered up with numerous funding channels in New York who have obtained venture capital from Google Capital Ventures, Morgan Stanley and the Venture Capital community. Over 1 Billion has been raised to allocate to small businesses in the form of small business loans. However, many small businesses do not even know that there are new business funding options available to them. Today, we have technology that can deliver a credit decision within 2 days and fund a business within 7 business days. In the alternative financing industry our peers are looking at different data points and things such as daily close out balances on bank statements, social media, and other factors to provide small business loans. Many business owners in South Florida are foreign to these options," states Gil Zapata, Managing Director & Founder of Lendinero.
About Partners for Self-Employment Inc.:
Founded in 1993, Partners for Self Employment, Inc. became recognized as one of the country's first small- business micro-lenders that provides small business loans. For individuals and businesses that would otherwise be unable to qualify for a traditional loan, there was suddenly hope for a fresh start.The U.S. Treasury Department has certified PSE as a Community Financial Institution and is designated Micro Loan Intermediary for the Small Business Administration, as well as an Individual Development Account Program by the U.S. Office of Community Service. PSE is a 501C3 supported by organizations, community partners and donations.

Illegal rickshaws seized by law enforcers being
transported to the rickshaw graveyard at Agargaon.
Rickshaw-pullers plan strong protest
Kausar Islam Ayon
Over 3,00,000 rickshaw-pullers of the city have planned a daylong strike on May 31 in protest the seizure and ban on their vehicles, harassment from police and other issues. Leaders of the Rickshaw Van Malik Sramik Shangram Parishad (RVMSSP), a forum of rickshaw-pullers and owners have vowed to continue their agitation until their 10-point demands are met. The list of demands include return of the estimated 40,000 rickshaws that have been seized, issuance of fresh license to genuine rickshaw-pullers and separate lanes for rickshaws on roads that have been made off-limit to non-motorised vehicles.
The leaders of RVMSSP said that despite repeated appeals to the government, no steps have been taken to address the issues.
"The government can fine us for the illegal rickshaws but they should give us back our property.
We can recover some of our losses by selling those rickshaws outside the metropolitan areas," said Insur Ali, member secretary of RVMSSP.
He also complained that without paying heed to their pleas, the government had already started donating the seized rickshaws to people in rural areas.
"The government is now allotting the seized rickshaws to the ministers and MPs and they are giving those to their party men in their respective constitutions. They are trying to buy votes by giving away our rickshaws," complained Ali.
Local Government officials in Dhaka admitted that they were allotting the rickshaws according to recommendations from ministers and MPs who are not from Dhaka.
"Most of the rickshaws have been distributed according to the recommendations from the ministers and MPs in their respective areas. But we are allotting the rickshaws only in favour of District Commissioners (DC) as per the government's decision," said Sabirul Islam, senior assistant commissioner, Dhaka Division.
He said that they have already handed over 32,000 rickshaws in this way.
RVMSSP members said they had submitted a memorandum to the state minister to the Ministry of Home Affairs in April last year. No measures have been taken on the basis of the memo.
"We gave the government a May 2005 deadline to address our demands. But they have sat on it. So now that the ultimatum is about to expire, we have decided to go for strong action," said Insur Ali.
He also demanded that the Dhaka City Corporation (DCC) establishes a welfare trust for the rickshaw-van drivers and stop issuing fake licenses.
"The DCC issues fake licenses and then they instruct the police to seize the rickshaws," claimed Ali.
"In a meeting with the DCC in 2001, they had promised to issue 43,000 new licenses. But they did not keep that promise. At least they should issue licenses to the existing unlicensed rickshaws," said Ali who added that they have filed a case regarding the license problem.

"If you have a business you are impacting something negatively."
Patagonia puts it right out there in the mission statement: Build the best product, cause no unnecessary harm, use business to inspire and implement solutions to the environmental crisis.
Cara Chacon has the title of Director of Social & Environmental Responsibility with the company, but she makes it clear that everyone is expected to advance the organization's adherence to their social ethic.
"It's not just marketing, not just production, not just the environmental department," she insists. In questions as seemly mundane as where to obtain zippers and pulls, environmentalism, sustainability and social responsibility come into play. "If I'm not completely satisfied with a factory's record, I have complete veto power."
Chacon points out that decisions made by the company can have impacts that might not be considered from a purely strategic standpoint.
"If we put in a last-minute order with a factory, we might be putting the whole factory into overtime," she says. "So workers end up losing their day of rest, they end up working over 60 hours a week, and supervisors get stressed. There might be verbal abuse."
Patagonia puts quality control managers in factories around the world to monitor for health and safety issues; and human rights violations. While the company sets high standards for itself, there is clear understanding that no manufacturer is without cause for blame.
"If you have a business you are impacting something negatively," she freely admits." Yvon Chouinard, mountain climber turned somewhat-reluctant company founder, believes that a company must do the best they can, then do penance for the rest, by giving back to the community.
Consumers can track the environmental footprint of the Patagonia products they purchase, at the Footprint Chronicles. Chacon promises that in October of 2011 the site will be revamped and Patagonia will become the "most transparent brand there has ever been regarding their supply chain."
"We don't just want to show you all the great stuff," she says. Such transparency has apparently found favor with consumers, who have driven sales to $333 million in 2011, slated to grow to $360 million in 2011. "It's slow, sustainable growth, and that's what we like."
Small change by the standards of Walmart, but not so small that the lessons of corporate responsibility have been lost on the mammoth retailer. Walmart recently invited Chouinard to speak to their corporate team on environmentalism and social responsibility.
"Right on the front row was the woman who buys half of the apparel in the world," Chacon points out. "Yvon walked away from that conference saying it was the biggest moment of his business career. This was a big moment for all of us."
Chacon spoke to an audience of business students at McCombs School of Business as part of an ethics speakers series organized by Julie R. Irwin, professor of marketing and ethics.

POPLAR, Mont. – The Latest on the death of a 1-year-old on a Montana Indian reservation (all times local):
10:30 a.m.
A woman is behind bars in a Montana tribal jail in connection with the death of a 1-year-old girl who authorities believe was kidnapped.
FBI spokeswoman Sandra Yi Barker on Thursday wouldn't release the 42-year-old woman's name, citing an ongoing investigation into the death of Kenzley Olson.
Barker says the woman is jailed on unspecified charges on Montana's Fort Peck Indian Reservation. She is expected in tribal court Thursday.
Authorities have said the girl was abducted Tuesday morning from her house in the small town of Poplar. Her body was discovered Wednesday.
The cause of death and other details haven't been released. A Roosevelt County spokesman has said investigators were searching for additional people for questioning.
Barker says federal charges also are anticipated in the case.

We're All Over the Lower Hudson Valley
Copyright © 2018, FiOS1 News
The Asian American Heritage Festival brought culture and life to Valhalla on Saturday, showing residents that elements of Asia can be found close to home.
County Executive Rob Astorino was one of more than 7,000 who spent their weekend at the Kenisco Dam Plaza to learn everything there is to know about Asian culture
"Westchester is a very big melting pot, 4th most diverse county in New York which means diversity is on display not only every weekend but every day," Astorino said.
Food, traditional Indonesian dancing, a Chinese Chi Pow or fashion show were some of the highlights of the vibrant event.
7-year-old Dahlia Kaufman was born in the U.S. but her mom is from Indonesia. Dahlia and her dance team preform all over Westchester County, but went to Valhalla to present a special barefoot dance.
Vendors said that their biggest goal was to show what Asian Culture can contribute to Westchester's diverse community.

I hear Owen won't tolerate photos. He's adamant.
And Owen isn't a kid to be cajoled or bribed into it. Kids with autism present lots of challenges for engaging for photos. Infinitely rewarding but definitely a slower unfolding. When I heard that he wasn't cooperating at all for photos my heart sort of dropped a little in dread (1 hour can be a loooong time with any kid any age that doesn't want to be photographed).
And then all our hearts opened up a little. Because I guess after 8 years the photographer is who I am in his world. And so there was dancing and jokes, tickling and hugs and lots and lots of photos.
Here's a few of our past sessions if you are interested in that sort of nonsense….
