Eat your way to a better memory! Doesn't that sound easy? Here's an article from the Food Coach at ABC with great ideas for brain boosting foods for memory.
Brain Boosting Foods For Memory
Reaching for certain foods might not only make you healthier, but it could also improve your mood and your memory.
If you start eating certain foods like fish, fortified grains, produce, nuts and seeds, health expert Chris Noonan says you should feel a big difference.
"You'll have this boost in energy. You'll have this improvement in mood. You don't know where it came from, but it's because you're filling up these deficiencies," explained Noonan.
Registered Dietician Patricia Bannan says such foods contain Omega 3 fatty acids, folic acid, tryptophan and selenium.
"Selenium is found in nuts and seeds and it's also found in meat, poultry and eggs and fish," Bannan said.
She added that tryptophan is also present in nuts, seeds and protein foods while folic acid is present in fortified grains and produce. And while these foods are common, those who don't eat them may have problems.
For the entire article and video, go here to the Food Coach at ABC.
Brain boosting foods for memory don't have to be bland. As it talks about in the article, pizza, with a variety of interesting toppings such as pumpkin and pepitas (pumpkin seeds), falls into the category of healthy foods that benefit your memory and your mood. Try making pizza tonight using healthy brain boosting foods.

BBC: A severe drought in the US has led to many farmers having to abandon their 2012 harvest
Global food prices have leapt by 10% in the month of July, raising fears of soaring prices for the planet's poorest, the World Bank has warned.
The bank said that a US heatwave and drought in parts of Eastern Europe were partly to blame for the rising costs.
The price of key grains such as corn, wheat and soybean saw the most dramatic increases, described by the World Bank president as "historic".

Following lunch continue on to the ancient city of Polonnaruwa which was once a royal capital of the Sinhalese kingdom and is over 1000 years old.

Weather can vary quite considerably throughout the year, so please familiarise yourself with the climate charts below.
The first 5 days of the tour were at an unrelenting pace, leaving at 8am and arriving at our hotel after dark so there was no time to fully relax until we arrived at the hotel near Yala National Park where we gave up the visit to the local town, so as to relax by the pool for a few hours. I personally needed to get away from the coach as we had covered a lot of miles in it.
all excellent hotels
All very clean and above standard.. Extremely pleased
Amaya lake and Hills were fantastic hotels with excellent lacations, rooms, service and food.
Chandrika Hotel good.
The world famous Mount Lavinia Hotel had the wow factor from the outside and lobby area and excellent food
No comments
All hotels excellent as expected, service couldn't have been better. Only issue could do with mosquito nets in bedrooms.
Excellent quality hotels, just a shame that so much was crammed into the tour that we didn't always get a chance to fully enjoy them. We often arrived late to the hotel, just in time for evening meal, and then have to set the alarm very early for the following morning.
Good quality hotels in Sri Lanka
Mixed from good to excellent. Otherwise not bad at all.
Excellent holiday, many thanks. The standards are much better than might have been expected for the price.

Boy Meets Osmosis, Part 1
Several times in the last few months, our boy has mentioned that he seems different from other kids his age. He feels they think in a different way than he does.
He isn't wrong, since he's on the Autism spectrum. If the DSM-V hadn't changed everything (okay, not everything), he would be diagnosed as having Asperger's. In fact, his earliest diagnosis listed him as an Aspie.
We have never told him, concerned that it might make him feel different, or that he might use it as an excuse. "Well, I just act that way because I have Autism."
However, since he already feels "different," we've been thinking that maybe we should tell him.
A couple weeks ago, the kids and I were watching Girl Meets World, a spinoff/sequel to my childhood favorite, Boy Meets World. In this particular episode, one of the characters had testing because the adults in his life suspected he might be on the spectrum. He was agitated and concerned over the idea that he might be Autistic. I didn't really like the way they portrayed that part because the tone made a diagnosis sound a little scary. Test results showed the young man does not have Asperger's and he seemed relieved. However, one of his close friends was disappointed because she is an Aspie and was hoping his diagnosis would make her feel less different. The show ended as the kids assured the girl that they all love her just the way she is.
Overall, the episode does a pretty good job of showing kids how to be inclusive. The portrayal of nervous tension about the testing, both for the parents and for the child, seems fairly accurate.
I wouldn't really know, because we didn't tell our boy we were getting him tested (yearly psychs are run of the mill here, so he didn't even notice) and I was ECSTATIC to receive the diagnosis.
Still, I felt they could have done a better job of portraying the diagnosis as something less scary—or even cool, because truly, Spectrum Kids are gifted.
As the show closed, our boy stared me square in the eye and asked,
What do I have?
Not quite ready to have the conversation, I hedged. "What do you think you have?"
He thought for a minute, then said, "I think I have the illness of aaaaaaaaaaaa(thought he was going to say it)aaaaawesome!"

Tony Snow on the New AtheistsMarch 15, 2008 — Deacon Duncan
Ex-White House Press Secretary Tony Snow finds time in his busy schedule to explain to Christianity Today why he thinks the New Atheists Are Not Great.
While the chief atheists write beautifully, their works share a telling defect. They seethe with disapproval of God. Dawkins captures this trend in describing the YHWH of the Old Testament as "arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully." Such invective clings like chewing gum to atheist polemics and raises the question of why these people are so worked up about a creator they don't believe exists. [Links added.]
Ironically, he does not try and claim that such accusations are wrong, exactly. He just thinks its somehow wrong of the New Atheists to mention it.

Midtown Raleigh News
Road Worrier: Bell Tower roundabout will be scaled back to a single ring
A complicated circle will be made simpler this summer when the crash-prone, double-ring Bell Tower roundabout is trimmed back to a single ring.
The city of Raleigh will apply pavement stripes and raised plastic domes to herd two lanes of traffic into one lane around the circle at Hillsborough Street and Pullen Road. The $10,500 project is to be finished by the end of July, before traffic picks up for the fall semester at nearby N.C. State University.
The change is aimed at slashing accident rates that have stayed stubbornly high since the eccentric roundabout opened in mid-2010. Raleigh police have logged more than 100 crashes in less than two years.
Most involve cars in the circle that collide with cars entering from eastbound Hillsborough. The Hillsborough drivers usually are ticketed for failing to yield right-of-way, as posted signs remind them to do.
Traffic engineers are not ready to admit the roundabout was made wrong, but they hope the retrofit will make it right.
"I don't think it was a mistake per se," said Jed Niffenegger, Raleigh's senior transportation engineer, who was not part of the original design team. "When you design stuff, you have to assume drivers are going to obey the traffic signs and markings."
Engineers also say they generally do not interview drivers who've had crashes. When the Road Worrier spoke with more than a dozen drivers involved in Bell Tower run-ins, many said they were befuddled as they tried to dodge cars in tight, twin rings of traffic.
Jim Dunlop, a DOT engineer who helped design the original roundabout and its planned fix, also declined to call it a mistake. He said the Bell Tower roundabout has helped ease traffic congestion on Hillsborough.
He said the project had ended a history of high-speed crashes and violent injuries at Pullen, and he noted that the Bell Tower roundabout accidents were mild fender-benders – with only a couple of minor injuries.
Still, he said, it's important to cut that high crash rate.
"Out of 100-plus roundabouts in the state, this is the only one where we've had the problem with crashes," Dunlop said. "And it's the only one with two lanes (on Hillsborough) crossing two lanes (in the roundabout). We're learning from this."
At the outset, engineers knew that drivers would find the Bell Tower roundabout tricky. They took the unusual step of publishing an illustrated navigation guide before it opened in 2010 as part of a $9.9 million makeover for eight blocks of Hillsborough.
In the past two years they have worked with NCSU officials on education campaigns for university students. Crash reports do not show large numbers of students involved.
Some street designers favored a single ring when planning began in the late 1990s. City officials ultimately decided they would need two rings to handle an expected growth in traffic.
But the car counts have gone down since then, not up, from about 21,000 a day in 2007 to 18,000 last year.
"When the project was originally designed, Hillsborough carried a whole lot heavier volume than it currently does," Niffenegger said.
It could be that some drivers were spooked by that quirky circle.
"I have no doubt that there are people who are avoiding the area just because they don't like this," Dunlop said. "Hopefully we'll tweak this, and they won't feel uncomfortable driving this roundabout."

Love & Squalor 2007 Riesling Willamette Valley
Posted by Thad W. on September 24, 2009 09:00 PM | Permalink
What a terrific wine the Love & Squalor 2008 Riesling Willamette Valley (12.4%) is to enjoy with spicy Asian cuisine. This Oregon riesling was a very light straw color in the glass, providing slight hints of petrol and citrus notes.
Citrus fruit flavors, crisp acidity, light texture and a long finish made this wine very enjoyable. There was just enough residual sugar to make this wine shine, without the usual viscous, cloying nature of some rieslings.
We paired the Love & Squalor riesling with beef tenderloin yakitori marinated in miso, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, salt and pepper. At $17, this was a very nice wine in terms of its quality to price ratio. I would definitely buy more of this Oregon riesling.
It's unfortunate that the folks at Love & Squalor don't offer more information about who they are and the wines they offer online. I would have placed an order immediately had they offered wine to sell on their site.

What are age spots and sun damage?
Age spots, also called liver spots, solar lentigines, or sun spots, are small dark areas on the skin. They can vary in shape & size and usually appear on the face, hands, shoulders and arms, the areas of the body most commonly exposed to the sun.
Many patients can start to see age spots or sun spots in their 30s or 40s. Often, patients express that these spots, even if they are not harmful to their health, make them feel or look older than their actual age.
How to treat age spots?
There are various proven ways to treat age spots and sun spots depending on the level of severity or the desired results of our patients. Typical treatments include:
Skin peels help diminish the appearance of age spots by utilizing a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of the skin. The new skin that appears is usually smoother, less wrinkled, and has less visible pigmentation.
IPL laser treatment is a newer, non-invasive approach to skin revitalization using intense pulses of light. The procedure helps to improve skin tone and surface imperfections most often associated with aging and sun damage.
Clinically proven cosmeceutical skin care products are cosmetic products developed with biologically active ingredients to enhance overall skincare efficacy. Products specifically formulated to treat hyperpigmentation in the skin can reduce the appearance of dark spots on the face, neck, chest, and hands.
If you've noticed a change in your skin and are unhappy with the dark spots that may be appearing, it's time to schedule your consultation. Contact us today to schedule!

Hyundai recall impacts 239,000 vehicles
DETROIT– Hyundai announced Wednesday it is recalling 239,000 Sonata and Azera sedans in cold-weather states because road salt can corrode the rear suspension.
The recall affects 215,000 Sonata midsize sedans from the 2006 to 2010 model years and 24,000 Azera full-size sedans from 2006 to 2011.
Hyundai says salt can corrode the rear suspension crossmember, which is part of the vehicle's frame.
In advanced cases, the crossmember could detach from the control arms that lead to the wheels, which could affect wheel alignment and increase the risk of a crash.

Joe's Winos Wine Club JuNE 2015
Chateau Fuisse
"JJ Vincent" Bourgogne Blanc 2013 Burgundy
We are very lucky to have this wine to present to you given that 2013 was a very low producing vintage. When Burgundy production is low the prices go up. Thankfully the importer protected both our supply of this fabulous White Burgundy as well as our price. The importer is completely sold out of it so this is your one & only time to experience. We have a paltry 3 extra cases so if you wish to purchase more we suggest you do so soon. It's named after Jean Jacques Vincent who has managed the Chateau Fuisse for the past 40 years. They source this wine from near Mâcon & Pouilly Fuisse which gives it a very mineral driven profile. The balance of ripeness, richness & acid gives it a nervy yet lush texture. With the prices of Burgundies steadily climbing up we jumped at the chance to present such a top quality producer to our Winos Club.
Garlic basted crab; grilled squash with lemon; citrus marinated pork.
Altano Tinto
Duoro 2012
Much like 2013 in Burgundy 2012 in Portugal was extremely low yielding. Drought conditions had a significant impact on production. The Port grapes Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz & Tinta Barroca were used in this blend. It's a fresh, fruity, spicy & supple bodied red with plum, hints of fig jam & smoke. This wine is tailor made for our grill heavy summer meals. The roasty notes play off the char on anything off the grill. It even benefits from a slight chill on it so don't be afraid to stick it in the fridge for a bit.
smoked pork ribs with chili, coriander, five spice & honey; gilled lamb kebobs.

Our beautiful friends over at Amsterdam Event Guide caught up with Scott & Grant Hutchinson of Frightened Rabbit to talk about their top tips and favourite bands to watch out for. The header image was created by the awesome Michael Parkin.
Grant: âhere are a few of my current favourite things.â
The Antlers â Hospice
This album is definitely the album Iâve listened to more than any in the past year. The emotion in the songs is so raw and the imagery is so blunt that thereâs no getting round what the theme is on this record. The constant allusions to hospitals, cancer and relationships make for a very dark record and the pain that comes with a dying loved one is evident simply in listening to Peter Silbermanâs voice throughout the record. A beautiful but extremely harrowing listen. We toured with them last year too and I donât think I heard a bum note in the whole 2 weeks!!
John Knox Sex Club
These guys are a 4 piece from Glasgow. Theyâre pretty much Rock n Roll with a Scottish poet as a front man. Absolute class. As yet theyâve released nothing but their live show is something pretty special. Rousing, crunchy guitar sounds mixed with pounding drums and all finished off by Sean Cumming preaching for his life at the front. A standard way for them to end the show is for Sean to sing the last line âWe stay as close, as close as we canâ and walk round the crowd giving out hugs!! Lovely.
Three Blind Wolves
Formerly known as Ross Clark and the Scarfs Go Missing these guys are gonna be a big deal in Scotland and the UK over the next year. Theyâre still a young bunch of lads finding their feet but once thise feet are found you better be prepared. Heavily influenced by a lot of Americana but with a bit of a mean streak Ross loves to vent his frustration with the world via songs which at first seem good but after a few shows you realise theyâre fucking great. If you like early Ryan Adams, Neil Young and a wee bit of Bright Eyes check this young lad and his steeds out!!
Admiral Fallow
This is another great band from Glasgow. They remind me a lot of Okkervil River and a slight hint of Fleetwood Mac in there too! I have seen them a couple of times and Louis has one of the most spot on voices Iâve ever heard. The band is made up of university trained musicians which can sometimes make for a group of show offs who donât know the meaning of the word restraint. Thatâs not the case here and the melodies are really allowed to shine on this and the musicianship is not the main art on display. I also love the use of male and female vocals on records and thereâs a fucking clarinet!!!
Where the Wild Things Are Soundtrack â Karen O and the Kids
Iâve been a massive fan of the book by Maurice Sendak ever since I was a wee boy and when I heard there was to be a movie I have to admit I was dubious. However as soon as I went to see it I fell in love again! The soundtrack is absolutely perfect too. It takes you right back to when you were a child and when singing meant screaming at the top of your voice regardless of tuning worries!! Of course Karen O has written some cracking tunes on the album but itâs really all about the feeling of being taken back to those days when monsters were real and the future wasnât really so important.
Scott: âhere are my picks!â
Meursault â Nothing Broke
This is an EP by a wonderful band from Edinburgh. They record nearly everything at home and the results are jaw droppingly beautiful at times. Their singer Neil Pennycook has one of the most powerful voices Iâve heard in a long while. Both this and the full length album âPissing On Bonfires And Kissing With Tonguesâ are released via the
Song By Toad label, and they have a new record due in April.
Take A Worm For A Walk Week
Glasgowâs (and perhaps the worldâs) most deranged band. This sounds like it was recorded in an asylum⦠I always picture them wearing hospital gowns when Iâm listening. The bandâs technical ability is insane, and there is plenty of method in their madness. Nutjobs!
Withered Hand
This is the pseudonym of Dan Willson, an Edinburgh based songwriter with an innocent voice and a dirty mouth. His songs skip between self-loathing, anger and joy within the space of a few lines, and itâs all set to a gorgeously lo-fi, shoegaze backdrop. His latest album is called Good News and itâs one of my favourites of the past year.
Over The Wall
This band is comprised of two of the loveliest chaps you could hope to meet, making charming, life-affirming Scottish pop. I challenge anyone to listen to their song Thurso and not have the melody running through their head for the next week. If you ever get the chance to see them live, I guarantee youâll leave with a massive grin on your face.
Silver Columns
This is the camp-disco collaboration between Johnny Lynch (Pictish Trail) and Adem. It sounds like LCD Soundsystem crossed with The Communards. The thing I really like is that they produce brilliant songs, as opposed to dance music by numbers. Itâs outrageous and soulful at the same time. Time to get the gold jumpsuit out of the wardrobeâ¦

The Lebensborn Experiment: Book I By Joyce Yvette Davis
Amid the chaos and destruction of World War II, racial profiling runs rampant. After kidnapped children whose appearances fail to meet the Nordic ideal are taken to concentration camps, some are used in experiments to satisfy the Reich's quest for Aryan Superiority.
It is April 28, 1945, and a sinister struggle between life and death secretly takes place high in a dingy tower of a medieval castle in the Black Forest. Under the watchful eyes of Nazi Colonel Otto Strass, notorious inventor Dr. Josef Weiss injects a ten-year-old Polish boy with an experimental serum, killing him–that is, until the child, Adok, is miraculously resurrected with unforeseen side effects.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the castle dungeon, a Negro American soldier, Sergeant Kapp Johnson, awaits ceremonial execution. But things go awry. On that same day, Hitler's unexpected suicide throws the castle into bedlam.
In the ensuing confusion, Kapp is mistakenly given the serum. In a matter of minutes, Kapp has been given a gift even God cannot bestow upon him: eternal life on Earth.
In this exciting historical thriller, an American soldier and a Polish boy who unwittingly become victims of the Nazi regime in the final days of World War II must find a way to escape their fate and find their way back home-before it is too late.

what brings you joy?
Here's my fourth canvas for Kelly Rae Robert's Mixed Media Mantras e-course and the first one that felt effortless. I didn't critique every move, continually wonder what I was doing wrong, or question what I should be doing instead. My self doubt gremlins were in check. Progress!
I started this one entirely with collage. While I've hidden most of the collaged background, I love the dimension it continues to add to the painting. I incorporated flower doodles, doilies, and stenciled and tinted modeling paste, which continues to meld my art journaling and scrapbooking elements into my painting.
happy travels
Here's a layout I created awhile ago, but never shared. This photo was taken while in Puerta Vallarta with my sweetheart and friends back in July. We spent a year planning the trip, the excitement building for months and I can hardly believe it's over. Good thing I revel in both the after-travel reflection and the pre-travel anticipation almost as much as the trip itself. After a day of swimming and relaxing, we'd meet every night in the lobby of the resort to take in the breathtaking sunsets and sip on pre-dinner cocktails. What a hard life we had in Mexico.
Now for the detail photos. While I still have a lot to learn in terms of photographing layouts, I can see how far I've come in the last couple months since this was photographed. I used modeling paste, gelatos, spray ink, stamps, layers of paper, a mix of alphas, wood veneers, and added chipboard embellishments. I also like taking memorabilia from the experience and incorporating it into the layout. Each night the resort would do turn-down service, leaving us chocolates and slip of paper letting us know the next day's forecast. I included the slip of paper from one of the nights.
Leaning into Joy
Continuing with week 2 of Brene Brown's art journaling assignments, here is my joy and meaning list. I think I spend a lot of time foreboding joy. I have a hard time reveling in the joyous moments, always anticipating the worst, as if that's going to brace me for the hard times. It's a practice I'm striving to change. I think gratitude helps, as I remind myself of all the ways my life is actually pretty damn amazing.
Intention: I will honor my basic need for play and rest
Two quotes that I appreciated from this week's lesson:
1) "The opposite of play is not work."
2) "Exhaustion is not a status symbol."
Below is a closeup of both journal pages.

Operation Purple Camp: Where MilKids Become the Best Version of Themselves!
I distinctly remember my father sending me to an overnight camp in Southern New Jersey on a warm July day when I was 12. I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous and unsure if I was going to "fit in" and make friends. My fears quickly went away when I was warmly greeted by my counselor, who introduced me to my cabin-mates who were all throwing a football around. Camp was a transformative experience for me.
Through my years as a camper and later a counselor, I met life-long friends, tried new activities, and grew in confidence at school and home. The camp experience gives all children the opportunity to become the best versions of themselves – especially military children, who experience unique challenges when compared to their non-military connected peers.
As a former classroom teacher, I can promise you persistence, creativity, and other "21st century skills" are better predictors of life long success than memorizing historical dates and math formulas. While teaching, I came across Paul Tough's book, How Children Succeed.
Tough suggests "that non-cognitive skills, like persistence, self-control, curiosity, conscientious, grit and self-confidence, are more crucial than sheer brainpower to achieving success." Operation Purple Camp is the perfect environment for military kids to build upon these skills, since they're often not taught in school.
Throughout the week, campers participate in archery, swimming, sports, ropes course, outdoor education. While at the same time, they celebrate the notion that "Military Kids Serve Too!" through fun activities that build upon resiliency and the military experience.
Military Themed Day, typically hosted in the middle of the camp week, provides Operation Purple campers with the opportunity to celebrate that they serve alongside their parent or guardian. It's a fun day where they get to increase their knowledge of their military parent's experience. The day includes volunteers from a local military unit, vehicles or gear from that unit, and more! This day also includes a Military Speaker who will spend time sharing his/her experiences with the campers and provide the campers with an opportunity to ask questions.
For 2017, we are excited to launch Operation Purple Mini-Camp in Colorado and Texas for military connected children between the ages of 6-8. How is a Mini-Camp different than a regular camp week? The main difference is that it's a shortened overnight experience. Mini-Camp serves the need of the growing demographic of young military families. Through my personal experience at camp, I found that the youngest campers have so much EXCITEMENT for trying new activities and meeting friends. Above all, their minds are so hard-wired to make new friends and learn new skills!
At Operation Purple Camp, military kids become the best versions of themselves. Through our partner camps, children develop character, build positive relationships with other military kids, and learn new skills that can be transferred outside of camp. We can't wait to see your child transform at Operation Purple Camp!
Apply now for your military kid to experience the time of their lives!

[…] And Operation Purple® Camp (OPC) is the perfect place for your military kid to find their tribe! […]

Drawing DiSNEY PRINCESS BELLE
Having two young daughter the Disney franchise has played a rather large part of my life since their early years. I've always been a fan of the super clean colourful art they kick out year after year. Beauty and the beast is a beautiful animation and at precisely 25 years old it stands the test of time. Having recently purchased an ipad pro and the amazing ipad app Procreate it's made my ability to draw that little more accessible.
The finished Belle sketch above is not as clean as Disney's version I wanted to create a very simple sketch but offer a slight addition of lighting and shadow to give it some more depth. All in this was probably about two hours work and I always see room for improvement but sometimes a little rough gives it more character.
Elsa - FRozen - Procreate tutorial
Being a dad of two young girls Disney Movies have become part of my life and have to admit I've watched Frozen a few too many times, although I have to confess it's a guilty pleasure! The art of Frozen is beautiful and the character design is amazing, leading on from films like tangled, another favourite of mine. Here's a quick tutorial using Procreate for ipad and apple pencil. I changed the skin tones a little way through and used soft light and overlay blend mode to get some of the skin shades that much better.
I sketched a quick outline first, then add final lines using the studio pen tool. I make use of the layers to add new colours such as skin tones (set to Multiply this allows the line work to show through underneath.
Reference taken from @lazydaylingerie on instagram I like the skin tones of this piece and thought I'd give it a go. Prob about 1.5hrs all in using Procreate and iPad Pro. The original is black and white but thought I'd try a colour version adding some highlights and colour to the skin using some of Procreates layer blending modes.
SHE-RA: Character SKETCHING
After posting my He-man sketch in my previous post I was contacted by one of my followers on facebook who requested a bespoke SHE-RA sketch in the same style. I started with some loose sketching using sketchbook pro then onto Procreate with the chosen drawing. I even added some blood and battle scars to make it more interesting.
He-Man Character Sketching
Being an 80's child brings back fond memories, lying in bed on a Saturday morning watching the cartoons with my brothers. Such classics as: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987-1996), He-Man And The Masters Of The Universe (1983-85), DuckTales (1987-1990), ThunderCats (1985 – 1989), The Real Ghostbusters (1986 -1991), Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers (1989 - 1990). All watched on our (not so little) 15inch CRT TV screen that dominated the corner of the bedroom. I thought I'd give he-man a go with my new ipad pro using procreate app to sketch and colour. See the video below for the walkthrough and staged pictures below.
We made our debut this weekend at the MK Vintage and Handmade Market. Our first proper showcase. We met some great people and am pleased to say it was well organised by Jen at www.mk-handmade-and-vintage.co.uk and a busy weekend.
We had some cool new vinyl banners created and showcased a range of older and new prints along with a range of my original sketches which caught a lot of attention. I even sold my sketch of Heath Ledger as the Joker in Batman as a wedding present for a ladies upcoming wedding.
Cool Christmas cards
Took delivery of some lush christmas card designs last week. Featuring 4 designs from my minis range, including Batman, Superman, Spider-man and of course the main superhero of all Santa!! Printed on Beautifully white, textured 300gsm Italian Nettuno paper and a rather fitting bright red envelope. I'm selling on my shop as individual cards or as a pack of 4 designs. Grab them before they go!!
Spring Fairy
My friend James Trustler is a great scenic photographer in Northampton and took this beautiful picture of a Snowdrop on a warm spring morning. I thought it would be rude not to add a little magic to it as my daughters love fairies!
Primary School Mascot Design
So pleased to be helping design a new mascot for Redwell Primary School in Wellingborough. As part of the their school 'values' promotion a new mascot character design will be used to help illustrate and demonstrate these core values to the pupils, staff and parent of the school.
To enable the school to get involved we thought it would be a great opportunity for pupils and parents to submit their ideas for the mascot based around a small child of primary school age. The school staff along with myself intend to choose some of these designs and turn them into a School Mascot Character design to promote throughout the school and in their literature.
Watch this space for more coming soon.
I'm always being pulled to new animated movies by my kids and to be fair I actually quite enjoy them. Disney Pixar's Inside out was no exception. Great story, fantastic animation and amazing character development. I decided to do a quick movie of me drawing Joy, the main character.
Welcome to my ideas, ramblings, musings, updates, rants, and general nonsense!

Royal Skandia launches protected fund
Royal Skandia has launched a risk-targeted fund with downside protection, available to retail investors through Royal Skandia's offshore Portfolio Bond range.
Royal Skandia has launched a risk-targeted fund with downside protection, available to retail investors through Royal Skandia's offshore Portfolio Bond range.
The fund invests directly into the Skandia Shield fund. It has been developed alongside research done by Skandia in the last quarter of 2011, which showed that 55% of international financial advisers believe customers have become more risk averse over the past few months and 80% of advisers say they are now more likely to recommend protected products as a result of recent market volatility.
Dean Bowden, chief investment officer for Skandia International said: "For those investors who can't afford, or simply don't want, to take the chance and potentially experience even deeper price falls than we have seen recently, protected funds can provide the optimal solution. The Royal Skandia GBP Shield Fund is offering a high degree of capital protection together with the potential to benefit from rising stock market prices in future. And because the fund is daily traded, investors can dip in and out as frequently as they wish, whilst taking full advantage of all the benefits that this unique fund has to offer."
The Royal Skandia GBP Shield Fund is managed to a target volatility of 8%, offering downside protection of 80% of the highest ever share price achieved by the fund. Downside protection is supplied by a separate derivative. The performance of the underlying portfolio is based on total returns, paying out dividends as well as share price gains.

Australian slaughterhouses exposed for cruelty (23 so far)
< Return to list of Australian slaughterhouses
Inghams Tahmoor Abattoir
Location: Rockford Road, Tahmoor NSW
Owned by: Inghams Enterprises Pty Ltd
Last known status: Open and operating
Phone: (02) 4681 8286
Animal Liberation NSW obtained hidden camera footage from Inghams Turkey Abattoir in Tahmoor, near Sydney NSW. Over 136 instances of animal cruelty were recorded from cameras placed over the shackling area, where birds are unloaded from trucks and placed onto the shackling line to be killed. In the footage, workers were seen kicking and punching turkeys, and bashing them against the floor and the side of the truck.
The turkeys, weighing between 8 and 17kg each, were hung upside down by their legs on the shackles; their weight often caused their legs to rip from their bodies. Workers were seen tossing the legs around, and handheld footage from inside the facility at night showed that these legs had simply been left up on the rafters.
Five workers were sacked as a result of the footage, however anonymous reports have been received that similar incidents often occur at other Inghams poultry (turkey, chicken and duck) slaughterhouses across the country.
Following the widespread exposure, Inghams announced that they were installing CCTV cameras in all of their slaughterhouses, however the footage would only be monitored by management and not by any authorities or other third parties. Of course, in facilities with CCTV monitored only by management, there is a likelihood that for any incidents of welfare breaches caught on camera, the evidence would be quickly destroyed and not reported, as the company has nothing to benefit from reporting themselves to authorities. Rather, such cameras are likely in place to stop anyone from installing hidden cameras of their own.

CFDA Awards 2016: The Best Skin, Hair and Makeup on the Red Carpet
Fashion designers, models and celebrities gathered last week for the annual CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Fashion Awards—and as you might have guessed, there was lots of beauty eye candy!
Here are the must-see hair and makeup looks:
Olivia Wilde
What I love: Olivia's amazing colour confidence! THIS is why I find her so inspirational when it comes to makeup. She paired shimmering green all the way around her eyes with its opposite hue, a sheer orange, on her lips—and it totally works, even though the eyeshadow is close in tone to her eye colour. (So much for that beauty "rule," huh?) Dark waterlines, soft brows and side-swept waves complete the look. What I'd change: Nothing.
Shanina Shaik
What I love: Shanina's glow! I'm pretty sure it mostly comes from within, but the little makeup touches certainly help: slightly dewy skin, luminizer at the inner corners of her eyes and Cupid's bow, and a soft pink lipstick with subtle shimmer. Her strong brows frame her face, so she can get away with just mascara. I adore this kind of makeup. What I'd change: Nothing.
Karlie Kloss
What I love: Karlie's healthy-looking skin. I don't want to call this strobing, because it's really just that cheek highlight (instead of every high plane on her face). Anyway, doesn't it make you want to bust out your Living Luminizer right this minute? She looks so fresh and pretty; it's also a nice change of pace to see her in a top knot. What I'd change: Nothing.
What I love: Ciara's romantic wavy hair, casually tucked behind one ear. She is killing it on the red carpet this year, and I'm marvelling over how she's managed to change her look so dramatically from one event to the next (see here, here and here)—without the styling ever overpowering her. I love how she kept this makeup light and pretty, with rosy stained lips. Also, I always did like her best as a blonde! What I'd change: They're not bad, but I still wish she wouldn't do the false lash thing.
Martha Hunt
What I love: Martha's semi-dewy skin (but of course!) and centre-parted, half-back hairstyle. The latter puts the emphasis on her great bone structure, but feels more casual than an updo. I love how she did her eyes—no crazy lashes or harsh colours, just skinny lines emphasizing the lower waterlines, and subtle shading. I would copy this in a second! What I'd change: Nothing.
Alexa Chung
What I love: Alexa's natural brows and black-lined eyes. Give me these brows over an angular threaded look any day! She also looks great in the pink-stained cheeks and tinted lip balm. As usual, it doesn't look like she's wearing foundation. Lucky lady. What I'd change: I don't know... something about this hairstyle and the earrings is a bit mumsy. Maybe it needs a choppy bang?
Lauren Conrad
What I love: Lauren's undone low bun. It's a fine line between "effortless" and "messy," but she got it just right. Although it's not my favourite shade on her, she basically pulls off the blackened lipstick, and I'm glad she kept her lashes chunky but low-key. What I'd change: The blush is too heavy and too pink.
Alessandra Ambrosio
What I love: The shimmering gold highlights at the inner corners of Alessandra's eyes. It's hard to find the right gold for that spot, but this is a perfect match. Also contributing to her beachy beauty vibe: subtle bronzer, peach gloss and an illuminated skin finish (no powder). The centre-parted straight hair adds polish. I love her untouched brows! What I'd change: Not into the long, curling false lashes at the outer corners of her eyes—I'd rather rely on liner for that effect.
Kirsten Dunst
What I love: Kirsten's side-swept waves and orchid earrings (yes, they are actually real orchids!). It's a nod to retro, pin-up girl style and such a fun statement for a fashion event. What I'd change: In the close-up, I find the makeup palette a bit heavy on Kirsten's ultra-light colouring. I would love to lighten up her eyeshadow, mostly, but also her cheeks and lips. I think she would look a lot fresher if just one feature were emphasized.
Christina Ricci
What I love: Christina's eye makeup. Her defined lashes, taupe shadow and darkened waterlines are all perfect; she is wearing them instead of the makeup wearing her. I also like her pop of pink lipstick and matching cheeks. And bangs are always adorable on her. What I'd change: I don't get the blonde. Why would she go this light when she could have this complexion-flattering, mega-shiny brunette?
Claire Danes
What I love: I don't exactly love it, but at least Claire isn't too "done," which is a worse problem on her than not being styled enough. (Here's an example of what I mean. It seems it's usually one extreme or the other for her.) I'm glad she didn't bust out any false lashes or garish eyeshadow; loose, casual hair is most flattering on her. What I'd change: This just needs a little touch-up, is all. Some powder to tame the shine, concealer around the nose, a little more brow pencil and lipstick. I'd run a brush through the hair to get rid of that one curling iron wave.
Jessica Chastain
What I love: Jessica rarely wears her hair up, so I suppose it's cool to see her mixing things up here. I also love her flawless, poreless skin, and appreciate the soft brows and natural lashes. What I'd change: She is compensating for the updo (and no earrings) with too much eye and cheek makeup. I don't like to see blush this heavy, and it's better when her lids are more bare, like this. Less is more on this one.
Julianne Hough
What I love: Nothing. (Sorry Julianne!) What I'd change: Generally, I'm not into colour rules with makeup, but there's something a little jarring about this gold eyeshadow and faux-tanned skin with Julianne's cool-toned blue eyes and platinum hair. Am I right? Also, harsh brows and just too much makeup in general. She is so pretty, but overthinks her styling.
Who had your favourite (and least favourite) beauty looks on this red carpet?

Find Points of Intersection on the TI-83 Plus
You can use the TI-83 Plus graphing calculator to locate the point of intersection of two graphs. Doing so with the arrow keys gives you an approximation of that point, but this method rarely gives you the actual point of intersection. To accurately find the coordinates of the point where two functions intersect, perform the following steps:
Graph the functions in a viewing window that contains the point of intersection of the functions.
Set the Format menu to ExprOn and CoordOn.
Press [2nd][TRACE] to access the Calculate menu.
Press [5] to select the intersect option.
Select the first function.
If the name of one of the intersecting functions does not appear at the top of the screen, repeatedly press
until it does. When the cursor is on one of the intersecting functions, press [ENTER] to select it.
Select the second function.
If the calculator does not automatically display the name of the second intersecting function at the top of the screen, repeatedly press
until it does. When the cursor is on the second intersecting function, press [ENTER] to select it.
Use the
to move the cursor as close to the point of intersection as possible.
Press [ENTER] to display the coordinates of the point of intersection.

It's been over a year since I gave birth to my baby girl, and the time has gone so quickly. The pregnancy itself was abnormally difficult, and there were long periods where I was bedridden and unable to move without help. But of course, as every parent knows, it was worth it.
The National Childbirth Trust provided me with a lot of support during that difficult time, and I was pleased to be able to give something back to them recently. I created these two sets of earrings for a charity event they held in Basingstoke, and the earrings ended up being raffle prizes. I think everyone had a good time! I then offered identical earrings at a discount on my facebook page, and was surprised at just how quickly both pairs disappeared!
If you like these, you can find them for sale on the Inner Fyre website's charity page.

Ben is being fitted for his first magical robes. I've been busy sewing him the Hogwarts robe for his Harry Potter Halloween costume. He has read the entire series of seven huge books once and is two books short of finishing it all again. Even our driver commented the other day, "Ben is reading Harry Potter every day. Always a book in his hand but always it is Harry Potter." Yep. You got it, he's addicted.

Being in the first place a photographer, both filming and video editing are definitely something I never do. Since couple of months I've been thinking about changing this and telling myself that maybe it's high time to try it and learn something new.
A 2-weeks stay in Siberia appeared to be an excellent occasion to plunge into the world of cameras, stabilizers and all related topics. Trying to film as much as possible while, above all being focused on taking photos, turned out to be pretty challenging and the final results were not quite what I'd be hoping for. Still it sure was a great training in filming and in editing later on as well. The post-treatment part was particularly interesting to me, putting different sequences together and searching for good fits, made me feel like playing with some crazy, moving jigsaw puzzles.
Working on this lil' video footage during the recent Easter holidays was my very first attempt in this field. 2 hours of raw material resulted in 2 minutes video (that you can watch below), making me realize how much there is to learn and improve... Still I hope you'll enjoy it and please feel free to let me know what you think :)

By advance appointment with the practice nurse. Children's immunisations are recommended at 2, 3 and 4 months of age: MMR at 12 – 14 months; pre-school booster at 4 years; tetanus and polio booster at 15 years.
Adult immunisation: we recommend tetanus and polio immunisation. For those at special risk we offer Hepatitis B, pneumonia and annual flu vaccination as well as immunisation against rubella.
Regular asthma and spirometry clinics are held, please ask at reception for availability.
Cardiovascular Disease, Hypertension & Stroke
Held monthly, please ask at reception for availability.
Diabetic clinics are held on a Wednesday morning.
Please make your appointment to see the Healthcare Assistants at the Farnham Integrated Care Centre.
Alternatively a walk-in phlebotomy clinic is located in the Outpatients Department at the Farnham Centre for Health. As opening times are subject to change, please ask a member of our reception team for the latest opening times.
Antenatal care is shared between the doctor, midwife and the hospital, normally Frimley Park or the Royal Surrey County Hospital (RSCH) in Guildford.
The midwifery service includes antenatal clinics, parent craft classes, hospital tours and many other opportunities to discuss your pregnancy and childbirth, as well as home visits after your baby is born, to assist you with any problems that may arise. The midwives will contact you at home to arrange a first visit. Following this initial contact, the midwives can be contacted via our Reception. The Frimley Park Hospital midwifery team aims to be with the majority of mothers at the time of their delivery. The Royal Surrey midwife provides continuity of care ante and post-nataly, offering patients the option of a home birth
Having seen your midwife at home for the first visit, arrangements will be made for one of the following antenatal clinics:
Frimley Park by appointment at our surgery, Monday 13:00 – 14:00
RSCH by appointment or at Farnham Hospital Outpatients Department, Friday 13:45 – 16:30
Postnatal & Baby's First Check are carried out at the surgery 8 weeks after your baby is born. Appointments will be sent to you in the post.
Well woman and contraceptive services are provided by our nurses and the doctors individually.
All partners perform a range of minor operations in the surgery without the need to wait for a hospital appointment. Your doctor will decide the appropriate course of action for your individual case. Minor procedures are performed by various doctors throughout the week.
If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.
There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below
It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel - as a second appointment will be required with the practice nurse to actually receive the vaccinations. These vaccines have to be ordered as they are not a stock vaccine. Your second appointment needs to be at least 2 weeks before you travel to allow the vaccines to work.
Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.
Travel Health Questionnaire
To help us offer the appropriate advice, please fill out the form below before coming to see the nurse. If you would like to return the form electronically, please email it to firstname.lastname@example.com
Travel Questionnaire
Travelling in Europe
If you are travelling to Europe the EU has published useful information for travellers on the European website.
Some services provided are not covered under our contract with the NHS and therefore attract charges. Examples include the following:
The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.
Private Fees
Our GP's are not able to undertake medicals for extreme sports such as marathons, diving, Iron Man and so forth. If you require a medical for these, please contact your sports association who will be able to refer you to a specialist sports doctor.
We provide a confidential service to all our patients, including under 16's. This means that you can tell others about a visit but we won't.
The only reason why we might have to consider passing on confidential information without your permission, would be to protect you or someone else from serious harm. We would always try to discuss this with you first. If you are being treated elsewhere – for example at a hospital or Brook Centre – it is best if you allow their doctor or nurse to inform the Practice of any treatment you are receiving.

Round 2 Scratch Match Play
Had a hell of a match yesterday.
Not feeling a big huge post, so just a quick run down.
I was playing Matt N from our club. He's a 3 handicapper who plays on the weekdays with a bunch of guys who are all over the map. Probably the most laid back guy on the planet. Great putter, seems to have a million different types of shots in his bag, and overall great player.
I knew I was in for a tough one. Steve mentioned to me before the round that I would handle him easily, but i quickly corrected him saying it wasn't going to be easy. Matt talks A LOT and is so carefree it throws you off a bit.
Anyways, here goes.
#1 - Matt was down the right hand side in the fairway, I bailed out of my tee shot and was deep into the trees on the right. We both have to hit low runners. Matt was short, I was way left behind the traps. Matt got up and down, I hit a horrible makable par putt. Matt 1 Up.
#2 - Matt had 180 to the green came up short. I was right behind a large tree/bush up the right side at 150. I hit a great running 5 iron that ran out about 100 yards a finished 8 feet from the cup. Matt missed his par putt. All Square.
#3 - Decent drives by both. Matt got to the front of the green playing to a back left pin. I got mine to about 10 feet. Matt just missed par putt, Harris 1 up.
#4 - We both ended up Par. Harris 1 up.
#5 - I would find myself directly behind a small tree on the right hand side. Had no shot at all. I made bogey, Matt made par, All square.
#6 - Both made nice pars, All square.
#7 - Matt came up just short and right of the green. I was about 15 feet for birdie. Matt couldn't make the up and down, I made the 2 putt par. Harris 1 up.
#8 - Matt was down the middle about 240 out from the green. He laid up. I was 240 out just barely right of the traps. I had a line to the pin so I hit rescue, it rolled just past the hole and settled at the back of the green to a middle pin. I would make a nice birdie to Matt's Par. Harris 2 Up.
#9 - I would miss a 4 footer for par to finish the front 9 1 Up.
I Started to gain some momentum on the back.
#10 - My birdie on 10 was good for the hole - Harris 2 up
#11 - I made a crappy par and Matt missed his par putt - Harris 3 up.
#12 - playing from the short tees, we both made par, I should have made a birdie putt, Harris 3 up
#13 - Of course, I put mine in the trees on the left scared to death of the right. Had a chance to win the hole with a par putt but couldn't putt today, so saw off the hole. Harris 3 up.
#14 - I hit an awful 7 iron to the green, ended up in the trap on the right. Matt was centre of the green. Awful shot out of the bunker. Easy par for Matt and the hole. Harris 2 up.
#15 - Both of us had to punch out from the trees on the left to about 200 yards out. Both of us got the green from there with makable birdie putts. Neither of us hit them, Harris 2 up.
#16 - Thought I could birdie this hole to win the match. After we both laid up to about 60 yards. I would stick one about 12 feet for birdie. Matt was just off the green. He would get up and in. I rammed my birdie putt about 3 feet past the hole. At least i gave it a chance. Would make the slick come back to stay 2 up.
#17 - Thinking I would have the advantage on this hole with the black tees back around 235 (Matt only plays the blue tees which are around 200 every time) I was disappointed to find the tee up at the blue marker. Matt up first would pure a rescue to about 8 feet for birdie. I pulled my 5 iron into the bunker on the left. Made a great out to about 4 feet for par. Matt literally stopped his birdie putt on the edge of the cup. I had 4 feet for the win. I saw it was breaking slightly to the left. I went straight at the hole, just missed. Harris Up 1.
I hate the 18th hole. I can't drive on it. there is no worse scenario for me than to take a match to the 18th hole. There is out of bounds to the right and not much room for someone like me who has a wicked fade off the tee.
#18 - Matt pures one down the centre (this guy is so steady). I think about hitting rescue but change to driver at last second. Get on the tee and hit as quickly as I possibly can to avoid thinking about my ball going on the highway. I hit a screamer at the trees on the left and it just barely misses them and lands in the middle of the fairway about 120 out. Matt had 16 and hit his worst shot of the day to about 15 yards short right. I put PW in my hand to hit to the back pin. Keep repeating in my head "middle of the green, middle of the green". I hit a decent wedge that I pull just a little and miss the middle of the green, however I found myself with an amazing shot leaving about 8 feet for birdie pin high. I laugh with Steve about the "miss". Matt had a chance to chip in and ran it by the hole about 10 feet just into the fringe. He would make the par putt from there leave me with a 2 putt for the win. I hit another awful putt (putting is awful I'm worried about it) but was good enough for the gimmie and the win.
Great match. Shouldn't have got to where it did, but regardless I won the match. On to the next round. Not sure who I play, but glad to be through to the next round. Up next is my Langley second round match on Sunday against arch nemesis Charlie. Last year I took pleasure in destroying him 5 and 4. This year I have to give him 2 shots, but I think I'll pull it off. Should be another good match, we will see.

Preparing featured property details and media for
Completed in 2008, 22 S. Front is a mid-sized, mid-rise building with seven stories and 42 condominium units. It's designed so that some units have views of the Philadelphia skyline while others take in the Ben Franklin Bridge and Delaware River. The perimeter areas are beautifully landscaped. Residents enjoy a rooftop deck — this is a prime spot for taking in holiday fireworks, sunrises and sunsets.
The building has concrete floors between every unit — necessary because there is radiant heat in the concrete, an unusual and toasty feature and one that adds some soundproofing between condos. Brazilian cherry floors cover the concrete. Like most buildings of this vintage, the main living/dining/kitchen spaces are open for flexible living arrangements. Windows stretch from floor to ceiling, and balconies are the norm at 22 S. Front.
Many units are two bedrooms/two baths; some have a powder room. There are a few three-bedroom units as well as a penthouse with absolutely knockout views.
