KIT-ASPEN TRANQUIL FOAM 2 PIECE SECTIONAL W/RF ARMLESS CHAISE is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blubear3 from Great Couch Purchase This couch is very functional and fits great in my living room. I liked the fact that the lounge sectional could be placed on either side prior to making your purchase. The size of the couch, is perfect- it is in between a small and large couch, making it the perfect size for any living room. It also fits a great number of friends and family on it! Overall great couch!

Rated 3 out of 5 by NewHome from Ok but would have preferred something else I have to say I have a little buyers remorse here. I found the sofa online, read the reviews, liked it, so I went to check it out in store. Looked great, felt comfy enough, purchased. Now that I've had it for about 6 months, I'm not very happy with it. The one in the store had obviously been significantly broken in as mine is still pretty stiff after 6 months. It also looks sloppy at times. The cushions don't stay in place that well and I have to fluff and rearrange them often. The store reps must do this nightly. It also squeaks now too so I'm going to have to figure out how to get some Wd-40 into the hinges where the chaise attaches. If you can get it on sale its probably worth it but I can't say I'd recommend. As a positive the fabric is nice and soft, and other ppl seem to like the couch so maybe I'm just picky.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LBoogie from Great comfy sectional I purchased this sectional online which was a little bold, seeing as I usually like to see furniture in person. This sectional is very neutral, and can be conformed to fit tour space. I've had this for over 3 weeks and it's held up well.
Date published: 2017-10-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sopene from Perfect Sectional for a loft or small living space Purchased this sectional online for our loft space. There were no reviews so took a chance and hoped for the best. Color was true to what was visible online. Comfortable seating for a family of 5 and seat cushions are a good size for 5'5''and 6'2'' adults. Sectional compliments a small space and does not overwhelm a room that serves many functions for our family. The sectional doesn't get heavy use as it is not our primary Sofa but it has held up so far. Overall happy with the purchase.

I enjoyed it for the same reasons and with the same reservations. I think it's all covered in this review. I don't think I would reread it but I enjoyed reading it once….
"Oh, but there were certainly many who wanted you to take a liking to them and who would have, without the slightest hesitation, consented to being your wife!"
"Yes, and I can remember all your comments after I would introduce one of those women to you."
Georgiana looked down, displaying a childlike pout for her brother. "I was not that bad, was I, Fitzwilliam?"
Darcy laughed. "I quickly discovered, Georgiana, that the quieter you were around the lady, the more vocal you would be to me after she left!"

I was out shooting the last day of principle photography on a short film with fellow filmmaker, Alex Weiser, when the clouds opened up and revealed a beautiful, blue, full moon. We had just wrapped the location so I quickly jumped at the chance to shoot a quick time lapse:
And here is a slightly longer cut with a little more video from the shoot that day:
"A public community-level intervention using mural art as a vehicle to address our collective need for inspiration." wall-therapy.com
I spent a few hours checking out some local art produced through the Wall\Therapy initiative. While you may notice these murals around town, many of them are located in obscure, off the main road locations. Fortunately, their website has a map feature that will tell you exactly where you can find each work. The two in the video above are part of the Federer building complex off Main Street.
I encourage you to get out and explore Rochester's Wall\Therapy scene. Using their map (wall-therapy.com/wallmaps/) for guidance, you can explore Rochester's deep pockets of culture, art and architecture.
Aerial photo of the Rochester, NY skyline. Take on September 17th, 2014.
Near the end of 2007, just after graduating college in Rochester, NY, I took a road trip to Boston with a few friends. We were there to visit with and film Jukebox the Ghost.
After the show, we stopped in to a neighboring bar for a drink and to review some of the footage. The bar was rather large and had a flat screen TV and DJ booth off to one side, where the DJ and who I assumed was the manager, were singing Karaoke to an empty room.
We plopped down and started reviewing the footage from the last few hours. Without warning, we heard this familiar woman's voice start singing Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear it for the Boy". As we looked up, Sia was dancing around the middle of the bar belting out the tune. I quickly switched the camera over to record mode and began filming her.
The footage is old, it's not shot well and it doesn't even span the whole length of the song. Despite all that, I thought it would make for a fun #tbt post and give me a reason to dig though my years of random footage I've collected.

It's Spring Break!!!
Not really. When you're a grown up, there's no traveling with your besties to exotic locations. Well, maybe there is, but not as often as I'd like! When I was in college, the only official spring break I went on was to Las Vegas. About 10 of us hopped on a plane from Pittsburgh to LV and had a pretty amazing time. All of us were 21 years-old and proud to show it; sadly, I think we were only carded once or twice the whole time! Everyone returned to school and happily survived.
It's Spring Break V this week. It's a collaboration between vegan and veg-friendly bloggers. We'll be offering recipes, travel tips, fashion advice, and fitness tips during this week. Read more about it here. There are some amazing ladies involved with this campaign.
For me, I'll be offering up some springy recipes. Furthermore, each recipe will involve pineapple - one of my favorite foods! You can use canned pineapple in these recipes, but fresh is the best! It really makes a great difference in flavor. Fresh pineapple has a robust, citrusy flavor that the canned stuff is missing.
Today, I'm featuring a no-churn pineapple sorbet. It's so easy and so delicious. The hardest part is slicing the pineapple. (Or you can get pre-sliced pineapple at the grocery store. I won't judge.) Get the fresh pineapple for this recipe - you won't regret it!
The pineapple is so sweet, there's no need for added sugar. The coconut rum gives the sorbet the tropical feeling you're looking for.
No-Churn Pineapple Sorbet with Malibu Rum
2 c. fresh pineapple, sliced or chunks
1/4 c. coconut rum, like Malibu
Placed the chopped pineapple in a freezer safe container, at least for an hour or two - 4 hours is probably ideal.
When you're ready to make your sorbet, let the pineapple thaw for about 20-30 minutes.
Place the pineapple in your food processor or high speed blender. Turn the processor on and stream in your rum. Puree until everything looks really smooth. It will be fluffy and beautiful. I had one chunk that wouldn't puree, but that's okay. It gives your sorbet character.
You can eat it immediately; if you want it to be scoop-able, place the sorbet in a shallow baking dish and freeze for at least 6 hours. After, I scooped mine into single-serving containers and put them in the freezer.
My husband DEVOURED this sorbet! Sometimes I have to ask him to try my creations, but I didn't even have to ask!
I hope you like the simplicity of this recipe and how delicious it is :-)

Born in Wales, E. E. Clive studied for a medical career before switching his field of endeavor to acting at age 22. Touring the provinces for a decade, Clive became an expert at virtually every sort of regional dialect in the British Isles. He moved to the U.S. in 1912, where after working in the Orpheum vaudeville circuit he set up his own stock company in Boston. By the 1920s, his company was operating in Hollywood; among his repertory players were such up-and-comers as Rosalind Russell. He made his film debut as a rural police officer in 1933's The Invisible Man, then spent the next seven years showing up in wry bit roles as burgomeisters, butlers, reporters, aristocrats, shopkeepers and cabbies. Though he seldom settled down too long in any one characterization, E. E. Clive was a semi-regular as Tenny the Butler in Paramount's Bulldog Drummond "B" series.

During the production process we had camera's and tripods provided by the school meaning that we didn't have to invest in those to do filming. However I do own an HD camera myself and when the school cameras were fully booked we did use that camera instead. The quality is not as good as the school cameras as it only has 3.3 megepixels whilst the school ones have 4.0 megapixels. I also have my own tripod that we used throughout the production process because of it being easier than booking out a tripod from the school each time and having to haul it around school all day until filming in the evening. However we did come up to a problem when my tripod was accidently broken by a Swillob member late in the production process so we had to buy a new one as that one could not be replaced. We also spent money on bus fares to and from shoots whilst filming on the bus too for some coverage.
This brought the totals to:
3 x £1.80 = £5.40 (Bus Fares. E.g for 1 shoot!)1 x Tripod = £40

There was also a school in balkan street
Hi dawson what about st marys divis street and christian bros in barrack street where jerry adams went to there also is yet an orther one round cyprus street . colin
Divis Street and Barrack Street was too far for the Grosvenor Road ones.
hi colin, I remember the picture house,was it allways called the ritz?,there was a car place on the same side,I thought it was car sale's.
Hi Colin, some other catholic primary schools which were used by kids of the Grosvenor Road area St.Peter's Raglan St. (boys &girls), St.Catherine's Cavendish St. (girls), St.Vincent's Dunlewey St.(girls), St.Finian's(boys) Falls Road and St.Pauls Cavendish Square(boys). I also remember another one on Getty St./Leeson St. corner. I think most of these were active until the 1980's, when there was some restructuring. Cannon
the rawsons i mentioned was brian and jim. didnt know them that well but brian was in the same year as me in school. good guitarest to say the least. no idea were on the rd they lived.
dawson-a couple of the kids from round our area went to barrack st.-i always wanted to go to slate st because they played football on the roof.
jamesie mcanally from balmoral street now lives in craigavon the last time i seen him was about 4 or 5years ago my brother should be able to tell you more about him didnt live to far from each orther till the junkies took over then my brother denis moved to portadown maybe get him to answer on jamesie
paddys was know for his COMAT red wine blow the head of you they came from all over to bye it there was a gang came from the looney cant remember his name but he wore a patch over an eye
i now know his name it is patchey doyle they say hes a legend why i dont know maybe because he drunk wine from an early age and still at it i dont know maybe somebody else can answer that one regards colin
tommybeef - I remember the playground on the roof very well. A very good idea because the school was well surrounded by the streets and there was very few play areas around for the chidren.I was up at the RVH the other day and was walking down the Grosvenor after my appointment. The boys and girls from St Josephs were all out in the playground playing away together. I think I read somewhere that the Slate Street school had different floors for the boys and girls and I don't believe they played together in the playground on the roof.Someone will probably inform us soon if that's correct.
when i went to slate st it was only girls attended it but before boys used one door and girls used another i played on the roof and p e was held there too most of the schools now are boys and girls st josephs is the NEW slate st a very good school with high exam passes

Andy Reid, Kevin Doyle and Rob Elliot have withdrawn from the Ireland squad for this week's friendly against Serbia.
Nottingham Forest midfielder Reid underwent hernia surgery on Friday and is expected to be ruled out for up to six weeks.
QPR striker Doyle has a thigh injury which will keep him out of the clash at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Wednesday, while Newcastle goalkeeper Elliot has a knee problem.
The Football Association of Ireland revealed the news on Twitter and Republic boss Martin O'Neill has not called up any replacements for the trio.

Emma Watson has slammed the Hollywood film industry for being sexist.
The actress insists "women are just as guilty of discriminating against women" and claims she has been "treated so incredibly differently " from many of her male co-stars.
She said: "I have experienced sexism in that I have been directed by male directors 17 times and only twice by women. Of the producers I've worked with 13 have been male and only one has been a woman. But I am lucky: I have always insisted on being treated equally and have generally won that equality.
"Most of the problems I have encountered have been in the media, where I have been treated so incredibly differently from my male co-stars."
The Harry Potter star launched the HeForShe campaign, which aims to promote gender equality, at the UN last September, and admits it has made her "even more aware" of the inequality in the film industry.
She told the UK's The Guardian newspaper: "If something does go wrong in the workplace, the support network is not brilliant."
But Emma also believes women in the industry "can be incredibly prejudiced against each other."
She said: "The men at the top often find it difficult to relate to a lot of the problems women face and therefore we aren't taken very seriously. Yet, women are just as guilty of discriminating against women."
The actress went on to say some of the best feminists she's met are men, including The Perks of Being a Wallflower director Steve Chbosky and her current director James Ponsoldt, who is at the helm of The Circle.

They Might Be Giants: Still 'Emotionally Arrested' At 50
They Might Be Giants: Still 'Emotionally Arrested' At 50
They Might Be Giants' members have been making quirky, smart — some say geeky — pop songs since the early '80s. They found early success with songs like "Birdhouse in Your Soul" and a cover of the novelty tune "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)." More recently, the group has been writing children's songs.
"The kids stuff really took us by surprise," John Flansburgh says in an interview with All Things Considered host Robert Siegel. "We did a kids album as a one-off, and it was just met with so much positivity from critics and real-life families that it launched us into a second career, sort of parallel career. It came perilously close to taking over our career a couple years ago, and now we've come back to this."
The two men who are They Might Be Giants — Flansburgh and John Linnell — are now both in their 50s, and they've returned to writing songs for grown-ups on a new album called Join Us. The differences here, of course, lie in the themes.
"I think that we wanna talk about things that are hard to talk about," Linnell says. "Music is a great way to open that door. You know, we really grew up in the heyday of experimental popular music [in the] late '60s and early '70s. Those songs are kind of the role models for what we think pop music can be, and if you want to bring an experimental sensibility to a three-minute-long song, you don't have to reference 'Strawberry Fields Forever.' You can make up your own very-hard-to-understand music."
They Might Be A Dictionary
Flansburgh says that "Three Might Be Duende" is like the Three Musketeers with vocabulary words.
"Duende is a delightful word that I think, in at least one definition of it, the first part of the definition is: It's hard to define," Flansburgh says, laughing.
Wikipedia defines "duende" as a "difficult-to-define word used in the Spanish arts, including performing arts. From the original meaning (a fairy- or goblin-like creature in Spanish and Latin American mythology), the artistic and especially musical term was derived."
"It really means the spirit of art, but in the sense of the passion inside — artistic expression," Flansburgh says.
That's not the only word that sent Robert Siegel to the dictionary. The song "Cloisonné" was inspired by a project Flansburgh and Linnell did in high-school art class. It's a process where you melt glass dust in a kiln to create jewelry "that you give to your mother."
In The Moment
For Linnell and Flansburgh, doing They Might Be Giants at 50 is no different than it was when they started.
"Maybe we're emotionally arrested people, but we apply pretty much the same spirit now that we did 25 years ago," Linnell says. "I don't think that we've dramatically changed our philosophy about it."
"A few years ago, somebody said that [his] philosophy is, 'If it's not happening, it's not happening,' " Flansburgh says. "In other words, when your head hits the pillow, don't worry about what you have to do tomorrow, because it's not going to prepare you any better. Just be in the moment and be present, and things will go your way. I take tremendous solace in that, actually."

Our approach to managing information from our website is always "customer privacy first". This means when we have a decision to make about how to use information from our websites, it must pass an internal test…. Is the customer's privacy compromised in any way? If the answer is yes, we don't do it.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, please contact our corporate webmaster by sending an email to email@example.com.
Types of Information We Collect
This policy applies to all information collected or submitted on our web sites. There are two categories of information: Anonymous and Personally Identifiable.
Anonymous Information is information that cannot be tied to an identifiable customer. Examples include general web site traffic information such as total number of customers visiting our site, or suggestion box submissions where submitting information is optional.
Personally Identifiable Information is information that tells us specifics about you, such as name, email and zip code. We use this to deliver personalized information to you.
How We Use Your Information
Anonymous Information
Anonymous Information cannot be tied to personally identifiable information. We use this information to improve our site. This information helps us focus our resources on the features that are most popular with our customers.
It is quite possible that we will share non-identifiable aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that a specific number of customers visited an area on our web site, but we will not disclose anything that could be used to identify individuals.
Personally Identifiable Information
Registration Information: If you are providing personally identifiable information on a registration page (such as Customer's Toolbox on www.sheahomes.com) it will be used solely to respond to your inquiries unless we indicate that it may be shared with other Shea affiliated companies or selected outside vendors. If we indicate such sharing you will be given the opportunity to decline such use.
Request Information: If you are providing personally identifiable information on a request for information or services page, such as Contact Us! Or Notify Me!

The next time the customer needs information, such as when submitting a customer service request, or requesting Notify Me! on another community, the information is automatically populated for them from the cookie.

Our use of cookies is specific to storing registration/form information so the user will not have to enter it more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site such as the Home Owner Services section on www.sheahomes.com, which uses the information stored in the cookie to submit to a customer service request.

Blueberry Pierogi
Blueberry filled pierogi are best served with sour cream and little bit of sugar. The result is divine! These culinary delights are perfect as a main dish, side dish, or snack. Nutritious and easy to prepare, pierogi are becoming America's new fast food.
Preparation: Allow pierogi thaw, preferably in your refrigerator. Place thawed pierogi in a skillet with melted butter and 3 to 4 tbsp. of water on low heat and turn occasionally to brown evenly on both sides. IMPORTANT: Avoid high heat as it tends to toughen the dough.

Courts & Crime
U.S. post offices rarely posting FBI's Most Wanted posters
For decades, the baddest of the bad stared out from FBI wanted posters in post offices nationwide.
Bank robber Willie Sutton. Serial killer Ted Bundy. Osama Bin Laden.
Multiple murderer Thomas James Holden — the first name on the FBI's first 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, back in 1950. Holden once escaped from the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth and was captured two years later on a Kansas City golf course.
Seeing the faces on a post office wall is a rarity now. They have disappeared over the past decade.
Post offices no longer want the Most Wanted.
But only a few regular customers have missed them.
"I kind of liked seeing Osama up there to remind me that we're still looking for that dude," said Mike Webb of Olathe. "They took down the clock, too. … I'm more interested in them speeding up the service than in their merchandising."
Richard Watkins, postal spokesman for the Mid-America district, said that most of the nation's 34,000 post offices took the posters off the walls several years ago.
"We decided to take them down and keep them in binders behind the counter," Watkins said. "They're still available, but customers have to ask to see them. Of course, they still might be up in smaller, rural post offices."
The walls are prime product display space now, he said. A "retail standardization" policy, issued in 1999 and updated in 2005, has prettied up post offices, making them more uniform and attractive — the better to move merchandise.
"It's the Wal-Marting of post offices across America," said Ron Pry, a retired postal inspector in Texas who collects old wanted posters. "Make them all look the same. Sell more stuff. Think about it. Would you ever see that FBI list (while) standing in a grocery store line?"
Pry used to watch for the Most Wanted.
"I always looked at ears, not eyes," he said. "Ears never change."
But post offices do.
Walk into most any post office and you'll see vivid red signs and wildly colored envelopes. Track lights beaming on posters of Frank Sinatra, Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse. Some post offices, including three in the metro area, are starting to sell Hallmark's Sunrise greeting cards.
But it takes years for these changes to occur in all the Postal Service's 34,000 offices.
In the post office at 301 W. Lexington Ave. in Independence, the FBI's Most Wanted was on display this month, although most of the names dated from 2002 and 2003. Bin Laden was included for bombings in Africa, with no mention of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The date on his flier: 1999.
The removal of the wanted posters came as a surprise to Nancy Pope, a historian for the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum.
"It's a passing of an era," Pope said. "Before post offices became a quasi-commercial affair, it was for many people in small-town America the face of the federal government."
The FBI's Most Wanted Fugitives began when a newspaper reporter in 1949 asked J. Edgar Hoover for a list of the "toughest guys." Hoover liked the idea — and the publicity that followed.
The last official post office mailing from the FBI was in 2007, said Chris Allen, an FBI public affairs representative in Washington.
The Most Wanted list appears online on the FBI's Web site, Twitter and Facebook. It's featured on pod casts, widgets, blogs, the TV show "America's Most Wanted" and digitized billboards.
"It's a whole new frontier. We've learned that you go to the people wherever they are," Allen said.

Upgrading to PowerCLI 4.0 update 1
Now that I have upgraded to vSphere 4 U1, I'm just doing an upgrade of the PowerCLI.
Well, now that I have upgraded to vSphere 4 U1, I'm just doing an upgrade of the PowerCLI (VMware's addition of some 200+ cmdlets together with access to the VMware SDK too). I'm an avid fan and believe in the powers of PowerCLI.
PowerCLI has been overhauled with a whole new raft of cmdlets which will go a long way in shortening my PS1 scripts. That said I don't know when I'm going to get the time to replace my lengthy references to short cmdlets.
If you want to download and install the latest PowerCLI you will find it here:
I've been looking at the new cmdlets and trying to make a hit list of the ones I should look at first. Basically, I'm trying to figure out what my personal favorites/highlights will be by looking at the release notes:
- Managing the failover and load-balancing policies of
VirtualPortGroupobjects with
Set-NicTeamingPolicy. Previously, these settings were only accessible by navigating the complicated SDK environment
- Working with host storages and iSCSI HBA devices with
Set-iScsiHbaTarget, and
Set-VMHostStorage. Previously, these settings were only accessible by navigating the complicated SDK environment
- Upgrading hosts with
- Running BAT (Windows) and BASH (Linux) scripts with
Invoke-VMScript. I think these cmdlets may be very useful in the SRM environment.
- Uploading firmware packages with
- Extending, cloning, inflating, and reallocating virtual hard disks with
Copy-HardDisk, New-HardDisk,and
Set-HardDisk. I'm hoping these cmdlets will be able to tell me if my virtual disk is eagerzeroedthick, the format valid for VMware Fault Tolerance. The conversion process can take some time, so it will be helpful to know because it will factor into your maintenance windows.

Compassion Cultivation Training™ Learn how to train your mind to intentionally choose compassionate thoughts and actions and develop skills that help you relate to others—and yourself.
This training will be led by Becca Peters, LCSW and Certified Mindfulness Facilitator.
**Space is limited 6:30 – 8:30 pm LOCATION: The location of the class will be determined by class size and will be offered either at Metta Mindfulness Center or at an alternative venue in downtown Salt Lake City if necessary to accommodate a larger class size.
The current offering of this course is full, to get updates when the next class opens sign up for our newsletter below, or to join the waiting list, sign up for Becca's newsletter here or email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.beccapeters.com
Description: A compassionate attitude can greatly reduce the distress people feel in difficult situations and can become a profound personal resource in times of stress. Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is an 8-week course designed to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness for oneself and others. CCT combines traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research to help you lead a more compassionate life. Through instruction, daily meditation, mindfulness, and in-class interaction, you can strengthen the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness. The course, developed by a team of contemplative scholars, clinical psychologists, and researchers at Stanford University, combines traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research on compassion. The training includes:
Coursework: Two-hour weekly classes that include lecture, discussion, and in-class listening and communication exercises with partners and small groups.
Meditation: Daily meditation, visualization, and breathing practices to develop loving kindness, empathy, and compassion.
Assignments: Real-world homework to help you practice compassionate thought and action.
Who Attends:
People working in a wide range of professions and life contexts can benefit from this program. Everyone is welcome. A commitment to attend each session is requested. No previous meditation experience is required, although willingness to practice daily meditation is a key component of the training. The group room is upstairs and requires walking up a flight of stairs.
More about Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT):
For Compassion training extends beyond helping one feel more empathy and concern for others. It includes the development of the strength to be present with suffering, the courage to take compassionate action and the resilience to prevent compassion fatigue. These qualities support a wide range of goals—from improving personal and work relationships to making a positive difference in the world. Preliminary research suggests that the CCT course and similar programs can increase self-compassion and self-care, reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and enhance connection with others. This course was developed by the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University School of Medicine. CCARE investigates methods for cultivating compassion and promoting altruism within individuals and society through rigorous research, scientific collaborations, and academic conferences.
Compassion training courses are educational and are not meant to treat psychological disorders. Participation in the course requires regular attendance and adhering to basic classroom policies.
Becca Peters is a southern California native who has called Utah home for nearly 20 years where she lives with her husband and daughter. In addition to owning a private psychotherapy practice she works as an organizational consultant, and as an educator in the fields of Mindfulness, Meditation and Compassion.

200th Etsy Sale Celebrations Give-Away!!!
To celebrate my upcoming 200th Etsy sale, I will be giving away a Bliss Coffee Cozy Secret Club membership! The winner will receive FOUR customized coffee/tea cozies sent right to their door over the next three months! It's so much fun.
I'm at 190 sales now, and when I hit 210, I'll pull a random name, so quick, get in on the contest!
Why is it called Secret Club? Just like my regular club membership, the winner gets to fill out my fun personality questionnaire (about their fav colors, coffee drink, etc,) and I will choose coffee cuffs based on your answers. Then the surprises will start arriving at your door. The first cuff comes right away (who likes to wait??), then one each month for three months. This will include one wrist and cuff style. It may include personalized art or original one of a kind cuffs. Who knows what designs, and surprises your answers will inspire!
How do you get in on the drawing? Be one of the next 20 sales at my etsy shop (that gets your name put in the hat once). OR post this give-away notice, on your blog and let me know you've done this by commenting on this post (that gets your name put in the hat once). Drawing will be on the day my sales go to 210. That's only 20 from now and will go quickly.
I love Etsy, love my Secret Club, and look forward to the drawing! Happy Sipping Everyone! Aly at Bliss MOnkey Studio
Cozy quality assurance worker: Inspector #86 on the job.
It takes a team to get these products out the door and into your hot and suffering, coffee holding hands, ya know!

Anxiety, loneliness, fear, grief, schooling, church…what are the challenges parents face as they raise the youth and children of Generation Z? In this fourth podcast on The New Youth Boom, Sabrina Short, co-author of Building Spiritual Muscle, joins Chris Wilterdink and Craig Kennet Miller, as they delve into the issues that are facing young people and faith communities today.
They ask how do faith communities move from "thoughts and prayers" to faith and action.

And so the black cab pulled up to whisk her away with her luggage and hopes of victory. . .
First Lord Sugar's finger pointed at Dan Callaghan in week one.
Then it pointed at Aisha Kasim in week two.
Next it pointed at Jenny Garbis in week three.
Sadly, perhaps undeservedly, in week four's episode of The Apprentice, it was the turn of Harrogate's candidate to go home.
Hopes were high Ruth Whiteley could go the distance in the current series of the popular BBC reality TV show.
But, despite stripping down to her bra and pants in her final task, the 47-year-old sales training consultancy owner found herself in Lord Sugar's firing line.
Ruth said she had grateful for the support of family and friends in Harrogate during her run in the hit show but mystified by Lord Sugar's ultimate decision .
"I'm absolutely gutted. Lord Sugar was very black and white with me. To be fired after how well I had done in the tasks was jaw-dropping."
She now hopes fellow candidate Vanya Koutsomitis will emerge as the winner of this year's The Apprentice, though she still believes it should have been her.
"I felt I had all the attributes to win. Perhaps Lord Sugar just wanted to shake things up by getting rid of a candidate who looked secure on the show?"
Perhaps, as a self-made true Yorkshirewoman, Ruth was simply too sensible to be tabloid gossip fodder and too straightforward to survive such a hotbed of rivalry?
Ruth talks more to the Harrogate Advertiser online tomorrow. . .

The Heart-Shaped Land
By Linda Tancs
In Bosnia & Herzegovina, tradition and culture remain close at heart, appropriate enough for a heart-shaped country in southeastern Europe. This tiny Balkan nation celebrates the junction of eastern and western civilizations, part of its rich heritage. Sarajevo's Old Town, for instance, still conjures the market center of the 15th century, when traders from Asia Minor and western nations gathered. Other towns throughout the country form the crux of the Kingdom Trail, where medieval fortresses bear silent testimony to the power and privilege of the ruling classes dominating the country's history, such as the Turkish and Austro-Hungarian empires. Priding themselves on hospitality, you'll come as a stranger but leave as a friend.

So now that July is over, it's time for taking a look at my fave things from last month. The weather was great and I got to spend lots of time strolling around town and shopping.
#1 Aaaand I finally found and bought a wrap choker and I have been in love with it eversince. I've seriously been looking for one in the past few months and I was very happy to find this cutie. It has two star pendants that are both classy and kinda playful so it actually fits my style very very well. So expect to see it a lot in my outfit Insta posts haha.
#2 The next fave of mine is my brand new set of makeup brushes! I just love them already and I've only had them for like two weeks. I found them absolutely accidentaly but they are really soft and high quality. My makeup surely looks like ten times better now. Happy! :D
#3 Another July favorite of mine surely is my new fragrance. It's a present from my mom and it's a Pur Blanca perfume by AVON. I have loved this scent for so long guys, I had one a couple of years ago, then got another one and soon it was my to-go perfume. It lasts really long and it's a floral fragrance great for summer.
#4 I also included here my new elastic telephone wire hand/hair band. I honestly don't know how exactly to call it so I used all the words I came up with. :D It's comfy, cute and easily goes as a bracelet. And if you suddenly decide that you want to put your hair up? Voila! you also have a hair tie.
#5 And last but not least, another one of my July favorites is a present form my bff. It's Treacle moon's Marshmallow Heaven hand cream. No need to say it smells like marshmallows :D. I haven't tried any other products from Treacle moon yet but I definitely will be in the future because they all just smell so so good. And I'll keep you updated of course.
Now it's your turn. Do you like these? And how about your July favorites? Can't wait to read about it in the comments below. :)

Last fall, my husband and I went to Texas for a wedding, and while we were waiting for a train to take us back to the airport, an older gentleman engaged us in light conversation--where were we from, etc. When I explained that we were volunteering on a sustainable living homestead, he said cheerfully, "Oh, we have very different political views, then: I voted for Trump."
It took me a moment to catch up with him, not sure at first how he'd jumped from gardens to politics. However, I quickly realized that because I'd been talking about sustainability, he assumed that I also support abortion and gay marriage (two issues he brought up later in the discussion). Suffice it to say that he was not entirely correct, even if I do lean very far to the left. After deciphering his train of thought, I smiled and nodded, not wanting to get into a pointless debate with him. But he wasn't finished yet.
"I don't see how Democrats can be Christian," he said matter-of-factly. If he'd said, "I don't see how Christians can be Democrat," I might have let the comment slide. But he didn't. What I heard was not a jab at my political views, but a discrediting of my faith. He might as well have looked me in the eye and told me, "You can't be a Christian."
I pushed back, of course, and we quickly discovered that we interpret the Bible, especially Jesus' teachings, very differently. Finally, he decided to discredit me because of my age and lack of experience.
"I've read the Bible at least 35 times--I read through it every year," he said. So, obviously, I am wrong. I have to admit he had me for a second, as I do believe in respecting one's elders, and that they have much to teach us. I think I responded with something like, "That's a very good practice to have," and he looked very pleased with himself, like maybe he was gaining headway with this ignorant child.
But I was still angry. What about my parents, grandparents, teachers, professors, mentors, pastors? Were they wrong, too? Sure, he's lived longer than I have, but so have all of the people who have taught me in my short experience.
Our train arrived soon after, and we parted with a friendly "it was nice to meet you." To him, what had just transpired was a lively discussion--perhaps he'd intended to start it with his inflammatory comments--and I did not think any less of him as a person. Whatever his intentions, I don't believe he meant any harm. But he had awakened a fire within me.
Because I am young, are my opinions worth less? Because I lean a certain way politically, am I any less a Christian? No. The man at the train platform and I are both Christians, and our opinions carry the same weight. We both believe the other is wrong, and I don't think anything but God could change our minds, but that doesn't make either of us better than the other.
There's a hymn that says, "They will know we are Christians by our love." I don't care what your political slant is, or whether you interpret the New Testament the same way I do; when you meet someone, don't belittle them because they are different. Show them love. After all, that's what ties us all together, isn't it? "For God so loved the world . . ." and so should we.

As a family every year around Thanksgiving time, we each write or draw something on an index card that we're thankful for. Then the cards get hole punched in two corners and threaded through with the yarn that holds them all together, and the whole is hung around the room like a banner. We've been doing this since the year our three oldest children were 5, 3 and 11 months, an astonishing twenty years ago, and the accumulated banner now reaches around the circumference of two rooms.
This is no Pinterest project. Many of the cards are scruffy, holes too close to the edge, taped up, written in childish script or garish colors. But some are quite lovely with decorated borders and elegant lettering, well designed. Each has an index card as the base but there are drawings, photos printed on typing paper and glued down, collages, a sponge craft of a pilgrim looking unnervingly cheery.
They depict everything and anything. Pets no longer alive, friends now moved on, difficulties overcome, like the time our daughter didn't drown. It's often a jolt seeing the thanksgiving of the past. But scattered between are humdrum everyday thanks-givings: sports results, book covers, a camera, new slippers, ballet shoes, ice skates, bunk beds, even braces (the American orthodontic kind). There are new jobs and opportunities, now past. Having had two early winter babies, there is Mama pregnant (me) drawn in profile, looking alarmingly rotund. Then the following year a little one given thanks for, almost at their first birthday, drawn clumsily by a sibling. Given natural sibling rivalry, the choice to give thanks was always a good idea.
Large or small, anything goes, as long as you're thankful.
And we're still at it, growing the Thanksgiving banner, with adult children flying home, college kids returning, each doing their best to make a contribution. We were travelling this year and I made a little kit to take with us: zipper pouch of cards, washi tape, pens, scissors, and left it all out on a side table at Grandma's.
Our daughter Elisabeth made her first card, a now infamously odd drawing of her baby brother in his crib, when she was three. I was thrilled to hear that this year Elisabeth's three-year-old—our first grandchild—has drawn a Thanksgiving card and begun a banner at her house.
Our two-room, 120+ card banner has become a powerful visual reminder of many, many blessings in the midst of many, many difficulties.
Always a choice
One of my favorite sayings is, "There is always something to complain about, and there is always something to be thankful for."
There are of course unbearable moments in life when the choice to give thanks is not so obvious. It is genuinely difficult in the middle of a sudden crisis, or a slow chronic illness, or even just a very bad day, to remember the blessings of other days or the grace in the midst of it all.
But it's like parallel parking. I live in Boston—with no driveway—and we park two cars on our street. Sometimes there is only just enough space to park, and cars backed up behind me on our narrow one way road, and I need to park quickly to let them through. That's when I resort to doing it by the book. I say out loud the steps that work: "Line up the mirrors ... turn in halfway ... steer the other way ... and done." It's amazing what tight spaces a big minivan can fit into first time by following what I know works and ignoring the circumstances.
In the same way, the smaller the space emotionally, the more I need to resort, by reflex, to what works. And gratitude is one of those things. You choose it and the tight space is enough. However unlikely, the circumstance is made more spacious by thanksgiving.
Always a choice, giving thanks.
Thanksgiving Banner

Your Choice
You might not have a twenty-year habit on which to build. You might not have kids with whom to share a tradition, or want to make a chintzy banner. It doesn't matter.
You could still find some visual way to record the choice to give thanks today, because:
Gratefulness overpowers the negative and tells it that it's not in charge.
The practice develops over time and grows; is strengthened as a choice by the habit.
You'll be glad you started now.
