Ways to Lose Weight
Do not follow fad diets.
Most fad diets, like the banana diet and green tea diet, aren't very effective. While there may be a little change in body weight, it's nature's rule to maintain homeostasis in our body, so lost weight will be gained back, and actually, more weight might be gained than lost. Fad diets have a tendency to exhaust muscles essential to the body, make metabolic conditions unstable, and make people lethargic.
Avoid fad exercises and equipment
There are many people who think that exercise must be done in a gym or with purchased equipment, but there are many ways to exercise. Just remember that movement is necessary to lose weight. And remember that the best exercises are walking, jogging, hiking, cycling, and weight training.
Eat early
According to one study, simply controlling meals by eating a healthy breakfast, eating lunch, and then eating a light dinner can reduce body weight. If possible, eat dinner at least 4 hours before sleeping.
Create a situation to walk or run 5 km, 10 km (3-6 miles)
For example, the way to and from work or the way to school can be used. Or join and participate in hiking, in-line skating, or marathon clubs. Going to and from work happens at least 5 times a week, and using this time to walk or run would be a natural and regular way to exercise effectively. As a matter of fact, people who have tried this say that they lost weight easily.
Find an exercise you enjoy
Many people like walking outdoors. If the scenery isn't so beautiful, try walking with some music, or a friend, and try to enjoy walking itself. You'll be able to think of other ways to enjoy walking.
Do aerobic exercises (walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, aerobics, etc.) for 30-60 minutes in the morning
Aerobic exercise increases the secretion of a hormone that burns fat. And, because it reduces the hormone that stores fat, raises basal metabolic rate, and consumes calories, it is very effective. The human body is designed to move every day. If there is little movement throughout the day, the body will try to store as much fat as it can. But if you exercise, the body will try to get rid of fat. First, start by deciding on a time to exercise every day.
Do weight training 3 times a week.
Muscle raises basal metabolic rate and burns more calories. With a higher basal metabolic rate, more calories can be burned while sleeping. A tight body makes a person look younger and increases energy.
Restrain from drinking.
Drinking lowers the basal metabolic rate and increases appetite. And above all, it's high in calories.
Drink 1.8 L of water daily.
Our bodies need a lot of water to maintain its functions. Because water helps a person feel satiated, people trying to lose weight should carry a water bottle and drink often.
Do weight training 3 times a week.
Muscle raises basal metabolic rate and burns more calories. With a higher basal metabolic rate, more calories can be burned while sleeping. A tight body makes a person look younger and increases energy.
Don't weigh yourself everyday!
Body weight can change in a day. But this fluctuation doesn't reflect the loss or gain of fat. Body weight should be measured once a week.
If possible, exercise in the morning.
90% of people who exercise continuously exercise in the morning. Exercising in the morning boosts energy levels for the day. And many people say that exercising in the morning reduces their appetite during the day.
Do 15-30 minutes of aerobic exercise in the evening.
Doing aerobic exercises before or after dinner is even more effective. Choose exercises that are fun, safe, and not tedious. Pick different types of exercises like walking in the morning and cycling at night.

For the areas around roads, railway tracks and engineering structures, Hering employees manufacture and install standard noise barriers as well as those along high-speed railway tracks, on motorway bridges right through to special structures. Hering know-how is in great demand in every construction project. Whether it is on the high-speed ICE track from Nuremberg to Leipzig, along the A9 motorway (Lederhose intersection) or on bridges on the German Unity Transport Project 8 (Erfurt – Ilmenau) on which trains travel at a speed of 300 km/h: the noise protection team tackles all challenges from planning through to installation and is able to offer all services from one source thanks to the close working relationship with the Hering heavy machinery sector. The company's own fleet of cranes and two-way technology means that installation is possible even under very difficult conditions.
High noise barriers in particular present special challenges when it comes to the design. This is why Hering offers different materials to cater for different areas of use: whether you choose plexiglass or laminated safety glass for a transparent design or aluminium elements, concrete, gabions or wood as absorbent barriers, the combination of different materials offers a wide range of design possibilities.
In the field of noise protection Hering employees develop, build and install for a number of years hight noise barriers as well as innovative low noise barriers, mobile noise barriers and torsion beams as well as rail dampers.

This doesn't happen to me as much as it used to, thanks to Community Transit's policy to allow bikes inside the bus if it is not too crowded. In the past week I have had my bike both inside and outside of buses. It is not as care-free to hold your bike inside a bus as to have it in a rack, but it is far better than wondering if you're going to get to work in the morning.
If you'd like to see how easy it is to use a bike rack, the fun way, see this bike rack rap. Most of Community Transit's racks work just like this (without the dancing).
Community Transit has had bike racks on all of our buses since 1996, and people have grown to rely upon them. Passengers with bikes make up about 1.3 percent of our boardings overall, but some routes have much higher usage.
- We had six bikes on a Swift bus recently out of 34 passengers.
- Routes 201/202 and Route 275 had 4.5 percent of customers board with bikes in April.
- My former Route 207 had 9 percent of boardings with bikes that month.

Recently, an engaged community member wrote down her thoughts on why Crescent, and Montessori Education in general, works so well. Here are her thoughts:
Typical classrooms teach to the middle. Some kids fall behind, while others may not reach their full potential. The traditional educational experience is mostly passive listening and solitary effort.
Montessori's multi-year classrooms and hands-on methods help children learn at their own pace, learn by doing, and learn from each other. On an average day, Montessori teachers present multiple lessons to individuals and small groups, because they understand each child's individual pace and progress. Montessori lessons are specifically designed to introduce new ideas while reinforcing fundamentals, and to allow a child to learn from mistakes and persist to proficiency. In the Montessori classroom, problems are solved as a team and older students gain confidence through leadership and helping others. There's a strong sense of community, and all kids have opportunities to pursue individual interests.
Montessori education is interactive and collaborative – just like real life.
In traditional schools, kids form cliques because they can. Children only learn how to interact with people their exact same age, and there's less tolerance of differences. Inevitably, some kids get needlessly excluded and then all children miss out on important social development.
At Crescent, kids learn to get along with everyone and respect each other's individual differences. Children learn to interact with all ages, not just their peer group. Further, children learn how to behave in a community that relies on them to contribute their skills, do good work, and be a respectful and caring member.
Crescent's school social structure is integrative and collaborative – just like real life.
These two primary differences make Montessori students capable, independent, self-confident and respectful adults.

Jamaica claims that its athletes were unfairly targeted for 5:30am drug testing.
The Bahamas: Sports
Security, tracking and monitoring systems supplier Global Ocean Security Technologies will provide live tracking of The A-Team as they cruise through the Bahamas in the second annual Hang'em High Challenge in Hawk's Nest.
While we are happy that the Carifta event was well received from the many positive responses , there was an early challenge in meeting the expectations of the international media in particular.
The Bank of The Bahamas has expanded its relationship with Olympian Gold medalist Chris Brown by becoming a partner of the first Chris Brown Bahamas Invitational Meet.
The favourites heading into the 2013 Carifta Games certainly did not disappoint the home crowd by winning their races in top form on Saturday, March 30, 2013.
A banker by profession, Austin Sealy was one of the men who inaugurated the Carifta Games in his hometown Barbados in 1972.
Bank of The Bahamas recently showed its support for The Bahamas' Carifta team by presenting the entire team of 115 athletes with BOB Visa Gift cards.
Despite being charged with shooting a firearm in a public place, Bahamian sprinting sensation Stephen Newbold is "looking forward to competing in this week's CARIFTA Games," his lawyer reports.
Minister for Grand Bahama, Dr. Michael Darville, pledged his Ministry's support for the upcoming 3rd Annual Grand Bahama Shipyard Fishing Tournament at the Grand Bahama Yacht Club.

Swiss Storm is trained by David Elsworth
By David Milnes 7:00PM 31 AUG 2016
THE LATEST chapter of the Frankel story could be penned at Haydock on Thursday and Friday when the next pair of the former Sir Henry Cecil-trained superstar's offspring are set to hit the track for the first time.
To date, Frankel has sired ten individual winners from 14 runners and those have already racked up a remarkable 17 wins between them, including Group scorers Queen Kindly and Fair Eva.
First up is the powerfully made Swiss Storm, who is trained and part-owned by David Elsworth and takes on nine rivals in the 6f maiden on Thursday.
Although he has no hands-on experience of Frankel, Elsworth knows all about the family of the youngster as he trained his half-sisters Swiss Dream and Swiss Diva to black type success.
Bred by fellow part-owners Lordship Stud, Swiss Storm was bought by his trainer for 235,000gns at Tattersalls October sales last year.
Elsworth said: "My two-year-olds are not renowned for winning first time up but Swiss Storm has prepped well and we are hoping he can make a nice debut. He'll get further but I have him in the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes and wanted to see how he would go over six furlongs on some nice ground – which they say it is."
Elsworth added: "I bought the horse myself at Tattersalls and then Trevor Harris [owner of Lordship Stud] who bred him asked if he could come back in so I left him have half. The Frankel story is an added pressure we could have done without but he's had a remarkable start and I just hope an old fumbler like me doesn't bugger up his stats !"
Most expensive Frankel juvenile
On Friday, William Haggas introduces his first Frankel runner in the shape of Harba, who faces 11 rivals in the 6f maiden fillies stakes.
Owned by Al Shaqab, Harba is the most precocious of the five Frankel juveniles Haggas has on his books.
The Newmarket trainer said: "Harba has been going nicely and is the most forward of my Frankel two-year-olds by far. She hasn't worked on the grass yet should be fine, although she will improve for the run."
Haggas also has charge of La Figlia, who is the most expensive Frankel to go through the ring at €1.8 million when she was sold as a foal in 2014.
Haggas said of the daughter of 1,000 Guineas winner Finscael Beo: "La Figlia is coming along slowly and hopefully we can get a run into her at the backend."

Branches and Leaves Contemporary Sofa Design: Foliage by Patricia Urquiola
Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola designed a beautiful, nature inspired sofa, which she named "Foliage". The sofa presented at Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan was created by the designer for Italian manufacturer Kartell. Featuring a leaf-shaped motif, the Foliage Sofa extends its beauty to any room chosen for display. A thermoplatic frame resembling tree branches supports the seat made from polyurethane foam padding with a quilted elastic fabric covering. As described by Kartell: "Foliage is a sofa with great personality featuring a seat with top-stitched embroidery on four round legs. Cosy and soft, Foliage offers two roomy seats. The top-stitching runs over the entire surface and on the back too making the sofa a standalone piece that can be placed even in the centre of a room and seen from all sides."Foliage by Patricia Urquiola is available in many colour combinations: red fabric – cream frame; cream fabric – acid green frame; green fabric – black frame; petrol blue fabric – hazelnut frame; sugar bag blue fabric – red frame; black fabric – cream frame; sand fabric – cream frame and acid green fabric – red frame.

The drive would normally take about 6 hours from our house, but because we went on a bank holiday weekend, it took about 8 to get there with traffic. It didn't really feel that long and our girls were pretty good most of the way. We stayed at Bank Ground Farm, which was great. When we arrived it was dusk but just light enough to see how beautiful it is there. Bank Ground Farm is on Lake Coniston with a stunning view of the lake, mountains and countryside. We stayed in the B&B there but they also have self catered cottages. Our preference is self catering since that's more fun and less stressful with the girls, but because we booked this trip a bit late in the season, that was what was left. The B&B was very relaxed and comfortable and the food was amazing. If you decide to stay there, definitely plan a meal there. Same for the afternoon tea--their cakes are some of the best I've had.
We had a bit of rain but some beautiful blue skies part of the time as well. We went on a little hike, walked some footpaths through the countryside, hired a row boat and went to Brantwood, the former home of John Ruskin. The little piles of black in the photo below are cows. I was thinking I should mention that because I'm not sure that is obvious!
Lois and Ellie think fairies live in moss, so they are often carefully inspecting moss on rocks. It's really cute.
Lois and Ellie had a blast on the farm, running around like wild half the time. Lois says we need a much bigger garden! I wouldn't mind that either.
We often leave our Canon at home during holidays because it's just so big and heavy and I always wish I had all our lenses with us when we do take it. But we decided to bring it with us on this trip since we weren't trying to pack light as we often do when we go by train. I was happy to get a few good photos of the girls this time around.
I decided not to bring the Canon in the row boat though for fear it might get wet, but I snapped a few with my phone. I have a lifeproof case, so I don't worry about it getting wet. Kind of pricey but worth it if you plan to take it near water, sand, or if you simply have kids!
Of course we were in full parent mode, trying to do things like keep the girls from running up and down the B&B stairs like wild screeching monkeys and telling them for the umpteenth time they couldn't jump on the beds there, but we enjoyed
some plenty wine and sunset time as well.
We never made it into the actual house at Brantwood because we spent so much time in the gardens, 3 hours actually. I didn't expect the girls to be interested for quite that long, but the gardens were incredible. The girls loved exploring the paths, the streams and they always enjoy an activity trail for kids, which was part of the fun for them there.
I got a little carried away taking photos of flowers. There were so many amazing plants and flowers in the gardens at Brantwood, and, well, it's just fun to take pictures of flowers!
Even though we were there for four days, we didn't get to see or do nearly as much as we would have liked. It would have been great to see the other lakes and do more hiking, but that will have to wait until Lois and Ellie are a bit older. We had fun in any case as you can probably tell from the photo below. What kid doesn't like a countryside walk trying to dodge huge piles of cow poo? I've never heard so much giggling and squealing.
But now it's back to school! Back to school means more time to do things like scrub the freezer clean, which I did today (lots more house orgainzing stuff like that on my list) and sewing, yay. I've got a pile of patterns on the sewing table that I'm excited to start!

Why EIS Education is Unique!
Encouraging the next generation to Dream, Imagine, and Create is a thrilling opportunity for an educator. Making science fact from science fiction paves the way towards achieving these goals. For a truly unique experience in space education, Enterprise In Space Education (EIS ED) is the place to start an extra-terrestrial journey.
As part of the entrepreneurial "new space" (non-governmental) movement, EIS ED is creating space education opportunities and activities for world-wide student and educator participation. Where else can such an out of this world robust interdisciplinary, multi-layered learning experience come to you?
Submitting an experiment for orbit is open to all students, at all grade levels (K-university), from any discipline, worldwide. EIS is looking for students to be more than science visionaries and make ideas a reality. EIS is boldly encouraging students to embrace experiments involving music, art, history, and disciplines other than science.
EIS ED offers some exciting tools to use in the classroom that engage students to work in and enjoy learning through Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts (creative & liberal) and Mathematics (STEAM) experiences! Experiments and activities developed for the low-Earth orbit space environment not only benefit science research, but can also open up the imagination to further ends. They open the doors for creative and liberal art projects, space law, health/fitness for spaceflight sports, and space fashion, to name a few. Spacefarers in our lifetime will need all these skills as they live, work, and play in space.
STEAM education within EIS ED programs provides students with important life-skill experiences and interdisciplinary, real-world, integrated learning that can later be applied to their adult and/or professional lives. Students will have the chance to create projects and experiments that will fly on or with the NSS Enterprise orbiter, engage their community, and collaborate with others around the world! Students are only limited by the scope of their imagination. With EIS ED, the unique environment of space is a student's classroom.
EIS Student Flight Experiment Opportunities offer students the prospect to learn and engage at various levels of ability, while practicing and polishing a variety of educational skills that include, but are not limited to, written/oral presentation, critical/analytical thinking, leadership, teamwork, and a host of other skills.
A Quick Look at EIS Educational Advantages
100+ student experiments at no flight cost to students
- EIS ED offers zero flight cost to students.
Multi-Round Competitions
- EIS ED offers grade level-based, multi-round project and experiment competitions. Projects and experiments are chosen through a competitive process, and in some contest categories, there may be several rounds of winners. Flight experiments will typically be chosen based on two rounds: a written submission and oral presentation.
Engages 4 Levels of Experiment Types
- EIS ED offers four levels of experiment types that include:
– passive (non-powered)
– interior active (powered)
– exterior active (powered)
– free-flyer (active outside and unattached to the orbiter)
Students may enter any of these categories based on grade level and sophistication level of experiment. (Most other flight opportunities offer very limited and/or constrained experiment types.)
Includes K-12 + College Interdisciplinary Approach
- EIS ED offers a K-college interdisciplinary approach to STEAM experimentation. Proposed projects and experiments are not limited to science-based research and can be interdisciplinary by involving creative and liberal arts. Other interdisciplinary skills such as language arts and history will be a required component of the competition process. (Most other flight opportunities concentrate only on STEM skills and overlook other skills necessary for success in today's marketplace.)
Involves a Variety of Experiment Sizes and Types
- EIS ED offers a variety of experiment sizes and types. Variations in size, weight, and power options are possible in EIS flight experiments. (Most other flight opportunities restrict experiments to:
– limited size (generally, less than 10 cubic cm)
– limited weight (lightweight)
– mostly unpowered
Reduces Some Technical Barriers to Experiment Development
EIS ED offers a reduction in some technical barriers to flight experiment development. Electrical and data interfaces will be offered in some experiment categories. This removes many of the barriers that prevent participation by lower grade level students and teachers. Students are able to concentrate on the experiment research to be carried out as opposed to an additional, oftentimes overwhelming, need to design power sources and data storage capabilities. (Most other flight opportunities do not allow powered experiments; those that do tend not to offer these types of capabilities.)
Allows Multi-National Collaboration
- EIS ED allows for long distance and/or multi-national collaboration. Some individuals or teams may choose to work with student teams from other locations/countries to create a true collaboration. For example, one team may choose to do the science research, while the collaborating team engineers the hardware. Tasks may be divided in multiple ways, allowing the teams to practice leadership and teamwork skills. (No other flight opportunities or competitions involve international collaboration between multiple teams or individuals.)
Provides Capstone Events and Opportunities
- EIS ED allows for capstone events and opportunities. After experiments are returned and analyzed by the students, there will be numerous opportunities to publish experiment results. Additionally, students may be able to present experiment results during conferences and at the EIS orbiter's world tour venues. (No other flight opportunities or competitions offer public presentation and journaling of flight data results.)
Reachs beyond the education horizon
EIS ED plans to reach out to other activist organizations and space companies to create partnerships in our education and outreach program. Collaborations will be sought with companies that already provide involvement in educational outreach, including undergraduate, graduate, and high school internship/mentorship programs. EIS would like to work in partnership with and expand on such already established programs.
SPECIAL NOTE: The EIS orbiter will be returned to Earth and the on-board experiments recovered. While this in itself is not unique, in conjunction with the other unique opportunities detailed above, it is educationally significant.

Merlin Miller and AFP at Freedompalooza 2013
Merlin Miller, AFP's presidential candidate in 2012, addressed a receptive audience at the recent Freedompalooza festival in eastern Pennsylvania. AFP activists also spoke with many of the attendees who expressed interest in our party. This full-day outdoor event was held at a popular local establishment, located in rolling country hills by the magnificent Delaware River.
Former Congressman James Traficant and veteran patriot activist Jim Condit also spoke to the appreciative crowd. Displaying our AFP banner, we set up a table to meet and greet like-minded attendees. People eagerly scooped up copies of our campaign literature, promotional brochures, and the latest issue of the Nationalist Times.
Freedompalooza is an annual festival committed to the fight for freedom and exposing the leftist establishment through speakers, music and vendors dedicated to helping Americans work towards a better future. We encourage A3P activists throughout the country to engage our people at similar implicitly white events. As anticipated, Merlin's speech and our conspicuous table drew a welcome response at this patriotic gathering.

Oct. 18, 2002
By Josh Griffin
The Santa Clara
In 1994, Brazil won its fourth World Cup by defeating Italy in a classic final. During their time in the United States, the Brazilians held their practices at Buck Shaw Stadium, and Santa Clara women's head coach Jerry Smith was able to gain some valuable insight from Brazilian head coach Carlos Albert Parreiro.
"Carlos Parreiro told me that the best defense is when you can control the ball on offense," recalls Smith. "That has become an adage in our program here at Santa Clara."
That is only one of the philosophies behind what has become one of the nation's premiere women's soccer programs, which finally won its first national championship in 2001.
Smith's rise to the upper echelon of soccer coaches in the U.S. has taken a parallel path to the rise of his program. Since taking the reigns of the Santa Clara program, he has a career record of 251-63-15, and has taken the Broncos to eight national semifinals.
Beyond his coaching resume, he has coached 13 players who are active in the Women's United Soccer Association (WUSA), as well as 14 players with experience on the U.S. National Team, three Olympians and four World Cup participants.
At the core of all this is Santa Clara's style of play that has not only lured many talented recruits to the program but has also become a common system among other collegiate soccer programs.
The Broncos play with a focus on possessing the ball, which requires that the team be stocked with talented soccer players. Essentially, all 11 players on the field at one time must be skilled in controlling the ball.
"We attempt to impose our style of play on the opponent," Smith says. "I have never felt that we need to keep more than two defenders deep, and as a result our outside defenders are very involved in the offense."
This is not lost on players on the team, or incoming recruits.
"The role of the outside defender had a big influence on my decision to attend Santa Clara," says sophomore defender Jessica Ballweg. "I am a very offensive-minded player. With no outside midfielders, I can take a big role offensively."
Smith is quick to point out that the outside defenders initiated two of the biggest goals that the team has scored in the last 12 months. Sophomore defender Jessica Ballweg assisted senior midfielder Aly Wagner on the goal that won Santa Clara its first ever national championship and, more recently, sophomore defender Lana Bowen assisted junior forward Kristi Candau from the goal box for the game-winning goal over then No. 3 UCLA.
This exciting style of soccer is rare in today's game, and is a huge help in recruiting top talent to Santa Clara.
"Players like Danielle Slaton ('02) would not have come to a school like Santa Clara if we weren't so assertive in pushing the ball up field with our defenders," says Smith.
Perhaps the most important aspect of Smith's 15-year coaching career is his ability to adapt and allow the team's style of play to evolve over the years. As a younger coach, he focused on changing the team's game plan and style of play for every contest after exhaustive scouting of the opposition.
"The different formations every week brought the team good short term success," recalls Smith. "But we were not having ultimate success when it really mattered in the NCAA tournament."
That all changed prior to the 1996 season, when Smith decided to choose a definitive formation and style of play to impose on the opposition. Since that year, the team has run a 4-4-3 formation, with four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards.
"In soccer, I don't feel that coaches have as much influence on a game as they would like," says Smith. "So, I felt it best to find one system, and use it every match. We try to keep it simple for the players, and make it so when a pressure situation presents itself, we are so comfortable with our system that we have no problems executing it."
This permanent change had roots in two different incidents in the mid-90s. The first was built around his interactions with Parreiro in 1994, and the second came with a rare rule change from FIFA in 1995. FIFA disallowed players from playing the ball back to the goalie so that the keeper could pick up the ball.
Parreiro's influence validated two of Smith's beliefs: a four-player zone defense was the best approach to team defense, and possession style soccer was the best defense. The FIFA rule change dictated that using three forwards to pressure the defense was the most effective front line.
The changes reached full swing in 1996, as that year's squad reached its first of four consecutive Final Four appearances. Since then, very few changes have resulted.
"The forward line is the only thing that we play around with depending on the strengths of our three forwards," says Smith. "We put in little nuances every year based on the strengths and weaknesses of our team."
Beyond his strategy on the field, Smith has been able to foster a strong relationship with his players that includes both respect and camaraderie.
"Jerry is a very unique coach," says senior midfielder Devvyn Hawkins. "It is hard to explain and put into words. He has been coaching so long that he has found a great style that makes him an amazing coach. He has pushed me to become a better player, especially on the defensive end."
During his 16-year tenure at Santa Clara, Smith has had several opportunities to leave for other positions. In 1997, he was courted by UCLA to take over their program but immediately upon returning to Santa Clara from an interview in Los Angeles, he knew he would never leave for another college program.
"I had a meeting with Carroll Williams, the athletic director at the time, and Father Locatelli, and they made it very clear that they did not want to lose me. That meeting with both of them sealed the deal, because I knew they were both so committed to making this program one of the most recognized in the nation."
He very recently turned down the opportunity to coach the San Diego Spirit of the WUSA, and there will be an announcement soon that he has resigned his position as head coach of the United States Under-21 team. His recent commitment to Santa Clara, a new five-year contract extension signed last spring, should give hope that he will lead Santa Clara for years to come, but he does have several aspirations beyond the bubble.
"Coaching the senior women's national team is something that I really would like to do," says Smith. "But, right now my wife [Santa Clara alum and national team star] Brandi Chastain is still on the team, and I can't imagine a more awkward situation than coaching her.
Plus, coaching the national team seems like a last job in coaching, and I am certainly not ready for that."
The Santa Clara women's soccer program can breathe a sigh of relief, at least for a little while.

I have a lovely vineyard wedding from the fabulous duo of Coralee & Alex first up this week. You may remember Amber & Jamin's cute engagement shoot I featured last year, so I'm thrilled to be sharing their beautiful day with you too. How incredible are these flowers? And the perfect pictures in the fields? Love it!
The inspiration for our wedding came from our two upbringings (England and New Zealand) and the fact the Jamin looks good in brown and I wanted a Grecian type wedding dress. This is why we fell in love with Markovina Vineyard Estate because it brought a blend of our two homes, with features such as its red phone box, open country field, flower gardens and the beautiful native plants, vines and the gorgeous chestnut tree that we had our ceremony under. Markovina Estate also naturally matched our colour theme with its antique, rustic wagons and cart wheels dotted around the gardens. If this wasn't enough, with all of Jamin's nieces and nephews, the ground provided lots of fun and games, as well as a good old English game of Croquet.
Our florist was Fairy Florist in Titirangi who worked with our colour themes choosing a range of dark purples, gorgeous greens and whites. Although my amazing mother did all the flowers for the reception and also provided small pots with cute little flowers for wedding favours, each with a small flag with the guests name handwritten on.
We actually made flags a part of our theme with white bunting all through the garden and a very handsome wee flag boy who raised a flag at important events during the day as well as our divine white chocolate cake made by our amazing cake maker Claire Rowe that had flags and bunting hung on it.
Our super creative friends James and Freya Brown handmade our wedding invitations and order of service for our day that were shaped as a fan for guests to fan themselves in the heat. They encapsulated the theme of our wedding using images like bunting, flags, trees and flowers.
I knew from the beginning as I am quite short that I would need a dress that was not too puffy and big. That is why I went with a long flowing Grecian style dress. I got this from Modes in Newmarket and they were extremely helpful with choosing my gown. The bridesmaid dresses and flower girl dresses were made by our family friend, whose attention detail and patience was spectacular!
Our day started with a whole lot of fun. Jamin and his mates had a big hearty breakfast washed down with Guinness and then headed to Cornwallis for some childish ball kicking and tree climbing and a cold dunk in the sea and Alex (our photographer) did well to put up with our antics! The girls on the other hand were quite oppositely relaxing being beautified at Peter Sahramann hair salon in Titirangi along with our amazing makeup Amanda Beets Makeup Artist.
Jamin's most fond memory of the day was the anticipation sheltering under the great chestnut tree awaiting his bride, whilst squinting in the sun as it shone but then momentarily but repeatedly was hidden by fast moving clouds, threatening to down pour and soak us all! But it shone gloriously as Amber walked up the aisle, passing all our friends and family of like faith; with Jerome and Felix Alderson (of 'All a Sudden Darkness') strumming a classical guitar piece they composed just for us (http://soundcloud.com/jerome-alderson/jamin-ambers-wedding-song). Never have I been more content!
My most memorable moment was during the hymn we sang at our ceremony Jamin and I turned and looked out to all our guests and it was at that moment that I realised I had all my friends and family all in one place together at one time celebrating our very special day with us, a feeling of love, comfort and familiarity all in one, which our photographers Coralee and Alex captured beautifully through the camera's eye.
* Coralee & Alex are one of my fabulous sponsors.

personal flair/
i was looking at this photograph and thinking how wonderfully dressed my grandmother Mary was. even after 48 years i remember her silk shift at Pop's 75th birthday party in May 1970; and how she didn't mind when i wanted to be in the photo. she was wonderful with her red hair, pack of Marlboros and dirty martini's.
it started me looking through photo albums and thinking about how someone wears a garment and has their own personal flair.
the biggest influence in my life regarding fashion is my Mother Rita. she was always turned out and wore the right outfit for the right occasion.
everytime i don a pin or throw a pashmina around my neck it's because of her influence.
i thought i'd share images; not only of Rita but, my Dad Jim - he was a suit and tie man and my Mom's sister Marion who was always up-to-date sporting the latest fashion trends.
here's another image from the party. Rita in green looking stylish. Marion in her mod brown and black striped dress - so of the moment. i love the gloves.
here's Mary in that same dress with it's matching jacket at my cousin's wedding December 1970.
a close up of Rita - that beaded dress! Marion was the mother of the bride.
some older images.
Rita and Marion 1940's. sweet sisters.
Puerto Rica 1954 this cinnamon pink cotton dress is timeless.
Rita was a fashion model 1954.
my parents leaving for their honeymoon 1955.
i have this 1955 image framed - it sits in a cubby on my rolltop desk - i adore the styling of this blouse.
Marion and Rita 1960 both look stunning. those colors!
Thanksgiving 1962. My gorgeous Mother!
i found this from spring 1967. i wish it was a full shot of her silk and linen brown dress. the beading was killer!
this blue dress from summer of 1966 - wow!
my grandmother Lillian had similar bags to this Enid Collins handbag. some of hers had straw floral embroidery.
here are my Dad's parents Lillian and Joe on a pit-stop at the Jersey shore August 1965. something about this generation they were always fully dressed - even at the beach.
my sister and Rita Easter 1968. stylin' and profilin' next to Jim's convertible.
Marion looks amazing in her colorful coat. circa 1973.
April 1974 Marion, Rita with their sister-in-law Gladys. That jacket, those sunglasses!
I love how groovy Jim is with his white belt, bolo tie and white dinner jacket on our 1979 trip to Phoenix to visit my snowbird grandparents Lillian and Joe.
when i worked for the Gap Rita and i had matching wool trousers - none of her friends were shopping there but, she loved the young fun fashion. i remember a great denim blouse she had - i wish i had now - it'd be back in style since it was over 20 years ago and i'm her size now... ha!
on our 1985 trip to Ireland she was right on point in her cute Esprit outfit!
inside sometimes i wish we could return to a bit more of the formality of yesteryear but, fashion and life are different now. casual Fridays. working from home. active wear and yoga pants are now integral parts of our everyday wardrobes but, as my husband Steven likes to say:
"there is nothing wrong with being the most overdressed person in the room."
i hope you celebrate your personal flair everyday!
til next time.

May I introduce you to the ladies of my book club: Andrea, Donnell, Heidi, Jean, Kim, Laura, Lisa, Mary, Mary, Michele, Tracey, and Vicki. For the past 8 years, the core of this group has met almost every month under the premise of discussing literature. We have been accused of being a "wine club with a reading problem" but we do read, and we have a spreadsheet to prove it!
In 2008, on the bleachers of a baseball field somewhere in the midwest, a subset of these women started talking about who was reading what between games. The idea was conceived to form a book club, meeting once a month in our homes for discussion, food, fellowship and … of course, wine. Over the years we have grown to this core group of 13 friends.
We take turns hosting, with the hostess choosing the book and providing the discussion questions, food and drink. Occasionally, we will branch out to try new things like canvas painting, yoga, and cooking class. I think you can imagine how much fun a group of project managers, human resource directors, financial advisors and accountants can have while attempting to paint martini glasses, holding a downward-facing dog pose, or rolling and stuffing ravioli! We know each other well enough to celebrate our successes and laugh at our failures together.
Laughter is plentiful in this group. As are tears. We have supported each other through illnesses, relationship and job losses, concerns over our families, and a wide range of disappointment. Our experiences give us perspective on many of the books we read. We disagree and we agree to disagree. We forgive each other when one of us sticks our foot in our mouth (some of us need more forgiveness than others). I cannot remember a time when our time together has not ended in laughter and hugs.
But what does this have to do with Hummingbird Cake?
Last week, I hosted our July book club and chose the book The Secret to Hummingbird Cake by Celeste Fletcher McHale. This is a story about three devoted friends with distinctly different personalities who stick together through thick and thin. Any book that can make me laugh out loud, shed tears, and want to find a new recipe has my greatest praise.
I had never heard of Hummingbird Cake. I had the impression that is was a "southern" thing so I grabbed The Ultimate Southern Living Cookbook, checked the index under Cakes, and was rewarded with this recipe.
Imagine carrot cake.
Keep the pineapple, cinnamon and cream cheese frosting but instead of carrots, raisins and walnuts, you get bananas, and pecans.
Three layers of yum.
Hummingbird Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
1 cup chopped pecans, plus pecan halves for decorating
2 cups mashed bananas
Cream Cheese Frosting (recipe below)
Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl; add eggs and oil, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened (do not beat). Stir in vanilla, pineapple, chopped pecans and bananas.
Pour batter into three greased-and-floured, 9-inch round cakepans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and allow to cool completely on wire racks.
Spread cream cheese frosting between layers, on top and sides of cake. Decorate with pecan halves. Store in refrigerator.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 16-ounce package powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating at low speed until light and fluffy.
NOTE: I make a double batch of cream cheese frosting because I like cream cheese frosting!
The secret? You have to read the book.
And, yes I did incorporate the secret ingredient in the cake I made for book club. These ladies deserve my very best. I hope they know how much I care about each of them. They have been my confidence-boosters, my advice-givers, and my perspective-changers. I am grateful, and I am blessed.
A toast to the ladies of The Red Dickey Posse!
Don't ask. 😉

Manchester United reignited their hopes of finishing in the top four of the Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League next season with a 1-0 win over neighbours Manchester City on Sunday (20 March). Louis van Gaal has admitted that they have a big chance now to achieve their target and has revealed one main advantage that they have over the other clubs in the race for a top four spot.
The Red Devils play five of their remaining eight Premier League fixtures at Old Trafford and the manager believes that playing at home will help them finish above West Ham United and City, who are their main rivals for a place in Europe elite cup competition. The 20-time English champions are currently in sixth place level on 50 points with Slaven Bilic's team in fifth, but the duo are just one point behind Manuel Pellegrini's team. While the Hammers also have five home games, the Etihad Stadium outfit have one less than their two rivals.
"It was very important [to win]. I said in advance that we have to win, that we must win, because we have to close the gap and we have done it so I am very happy and a proud manager," Van Gaal said, as quoted by talkSPORT.
"We have a lot of home matches, more than [the amount of] away matches left to go. At home we normally don't lose so we have a big chance, I think," the former Bayern Munich and Barcelona manager added.
The Dutch manager is under heavy pressure to finish the season on a high, with various reports suggesting that he is set to be replaced by Jose Mourinho in the summer. The Premier League big guns have had a disappointing campaign, but still have hope of winning silverware as they face a quarter-finals replay in the FA Cup against West Ham with the winner facing Everton at Wembley.

A traditional economy is a system where traditions, customs, and beliefs shape the goods and products the society creates. Countries that use this type of economic system are often rural and farm-based. Also known as a subsistence economy, a traditional economy is defined by bartering and trading. Little surplus is produced, and if any excess goods are made, they are typically given to a ruling authority or landowner.
Hunting, gathering, and cultivation are the main tasks for workers in a traditional economy. There are big parts of the world's population that still work in traditional economies, primarily in third-world countries with larger indigenous populations. Underdeveloped areas of South America, Africa, and Asia still rely on this type of economy for survival.
In many cases, a traditional economy may have no official currency whatsoever, with any available wealth going to the upper classes. As neighboring countries and influences permeate a traditional economy, the economic system can morph into a mixed, command, or market economy. In command economies, prices and supplies are determined by the government, while, in contrast, prices in a market economy are set by supply and demand. A mixed economy includes both private enterprise and some degree of government control.
One advantage of a traditional economy is that each person has a function in society. Social bonds are thus deepened, people typically feel more unified with the society, and a sense of worth often increases. Also, because goods are only made for survival, the country's natural resources may not as compromised as in other types of economies.
The downside is that individuals tend to remain in set roles in a traditional economy, and their financial well-being rarely increases. Indeed, most of those living in this type of economy find themselves mired in poverty for their entire lives. In his book titled Capitalism at the Crossroads, Stuart L. Hart writes that four billion people may exist in traditional economies.
The Inuit tribe of northern Canada is one example of a society that still uses a traditional economy. Families teach their children the same customs and allocation of resources that have been practiced for hundreds of years. Children in this society are taught how to hunt, fish, make tools, and build shelter.
Technology and independence are shunned in favor of traditions that have been refined over the years. For example, if a bear is caught for food, the main hunter would receive the first piece and the remaining heads of family in the tribe would receive their appropriate portion of the animal for food and clothing. The custom of sharing and collaborating for the good of the society defines a traditional economy. Basic necessities are sometimes traded, but goods are rarely bought and sold.

The Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) yesterday called for the removal of excess military camps in the North.
SLMC supremo and Minister Rauff Hakeem stated that his party does not agree with the proposal that the army should be fully withdrawn from the North.
He said there is a concern by the public in the North that the army is still occupying property it does not require.
Hakeem said among the concerns is that the army continues to operate a hotel and conducts other businesses in the North.
He said the army must release property which needs to be given back to the people and have camps in the North which are only required for National security.

GOP introduces bill to reduce costs to homeowners and businesses of Biggert-Waters flood insurance reforms
Mark Schleifstein, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune By
Email the author | Follow on Twitter
on February 22, 2014 at 12:04 AM, updated February 22, 2014 at 7:06 AM
House GOP leaders introduced legislation late Friday to make sweeping changes in the 2012 Biggert-Waters flood insurance reform act that will reinstate subsidized rates for homes in more flood-prone areas and allow new owners to keep the subsidized rates following a home's sale.
"This legislation is important for Louisiana, and I am proud to have worked with Michael Grimm of New York and members of the Louisiana and other Congressional delegations to produce this bold legislation that provides immediate relief," said Rep. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, who helped write the bill.
The legislation authored by U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, R-NY, and co-sponsored by members of the Louisiana delegation, also lists Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., one of the authors of the Biggert-Waters Act, and other Democrats as co-sponsors, including Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans, but that's only because the Republican language was pasted into an existing bill on which they were already listed as co-sponsors that was an attempted compromise.
Democrats, including Waters, continue to negotiate with Republican leaders over the language contained in the bill, but the Republicans filed their version late Friday as a procedural move to clear the way for a vote on the measure next week.
"I am encouraged by the progress we've made to advance legislation that will provide relief to those facing skyrocketing flood insurance premiums," Waters said in a statement early Saturday. "Over the next several days, I will continue active negotiations with Republican leadership, the bill's authors and members of the U.S. Senate. I look forward to working with them to ensure this legislation is written in a manner that provides the relief so badly needed by our nation's homeowners. If it falls short, I will continue to press for consideration of the bipartisan legislation now supported by an overwhelming majority of 235 House members."
Also listed as a co-author of the legislation are U.S. Reps. Steve Scalise, R-Metairie; Charles Boustany, R-Lake Charles;
If approved by the House and accepted by the Senate, which has already passed legislation that would simply delay the implementation of the Biggert-Waters rate increases for subsidized policies for four years, FEMA would still be allowed to use existing rules to slowly raise rates for those policies to more actuarially sound levels over a much longer period of time, according to Cassidy staffers.
The Biggert-Waters rate increases were aimed at reducing the potential cost of hundreds of thousands of policies that had been granted subsidies, and would have reduced what's been estimated as a $25 billion deficit in the National Flood Insurance Program's budget caused by damages during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy in 2011.
Cassidy and other Louisiana members of Congress contend the Biggert-Waters changes penalize state residents who must live in flood-prone areas because of their employment, including oil and gas production workers and fishers, and that the law penalized residents whose homes were built and purchased long ago under the old rules and otherwise meet state and local building codes.
Supporters of Biggert-Waters point out that those homes often are the source of multiple flood insurance claims that have dramatically increased the cost of the insurance program, as the number and cost of major disasters along the nation's coastline have increased.
But Cassidy and other Gulf Coast and East Coast congressmen have complained that the dramatic rate increases -- some as much as five times the existing rates -- have also made it both impossible for many homeowners to afford the insurance or to sell their homes, since the high rates have scared away buyers. And that could result in reduced numbers of policies being sold, which also would hurt the ability of the insurance program to pay for itself.
The new legislation, HR 3370, would also provide a refund for people who had purchased homes with subsidized rates since 2012 without realizing the rates would undergo significant increases.
The bill also would raise the trigger for losing the insurance subsidy for damaged homes from 30 percent of their fair market value to 50 percent, which was the threshhold that triggered unsubsidized rates before the passage of the Biggert-Waters Act.
Under Congressional rules, the bill's costs are required to be offset by other revenue. That would be done by assessments of about $25 a year for all National Flood Insurance Program policies for primary residences, and about $250 a year for businesses and non-primary residences, such as second homes or vacation homes. That means the subsidies will continue to be paid for by those paying the actuarially correct rates for their insurance, as well as the subsidized policy holders.
Cassidy staffers said those fees would be used placed into a trust fund to be used to cover increased claims during disasters, and would produce about $1 billion over 5 years and $2.3 billion over 10 years.
Also in the legislation is a provision requiring FEMA to complete a study of the ability of insurance policy holders to afford actuarially sound rates, such as are required by the Biggert-Waters Act, by September 30, 2017, which is the date that the National Flood Insurance Program expires and would need to be reauthorized. The bill also includes about $2 million to complete the study.

8 Morrison Street, Durban
AN activation plan to prepare the reconversion of an industrial warehouse
client: Propertuity
This warehouse located in the heart of Durban's (South Africa) Rivertown neighbourhood was previously used as a storage depot for courier goods. In 2014, we assisted the property developer Propertuity with designing and implementing a full activation plan for the launch of the building, as the first step of its reconversion process.
The activation plan included :
an urban exhibition about the transformation of the neighbourhood and the city, "Durbanism"
a weekly food and fresh produce market called the "Morning Trade"
permanent art installations by local artists Skullboy (lateral facade), Vaughn Sadie (lighting), Kim Goodwin (sculpture), etc.
a temporary art exhibition curated by Angela Shaw (KZNSA gallery)
walking tours in the neighbourhood
a "Green Line" installation on the pavements, connecting the building to key locations in the neighbourhood;
a launch party with concerts, food and drinks

ONEONTA, N.Y. - The SUNY Geneseo men's and women's track & field teams competed at the Oneonta Last Chance Invitational, Wednesday and Thursday.
Multiple program records were set on the women's side, including junior Camille Wutz who finished third in the 100-meter dash (12.23) and senior Alexa Wandy, who finished fourth in the 200 (25.68). Wutz also won the long jump (5.82m/19'1.25") with the third-longest effort in Geneseo history.
The duo also joined sophomore Hannah Madden and junior Lauren Bamford to log a fourth-place effort in the 4x100 relay (47.32) with the fastest time in program history that also ranks 13th in Division III this season. Bamford and Wandy also ran on the 4x400 relay with senior Mackenzie Ross and sophomore Erin MacDougall to finish first (3:49.93) with the ninth-fastest time in Division III this year.
First-year Sarah Bronk (3.61m/11'10") finished fourth in the pole vault, breaking the program record by almost a foot.
Sophomore Shayna Held improved on her own program record in winning the heptathlon (4,586) with the sixth-highest point total in the nation this season.
The Knights await the final invitations for next week's NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships, hosted by Mount Union (Ohio) next Thursday-Saturday (May 25-27).

One of the more bizarre scenes of the year occurred at a Cro-Mags concert in July, when former bassist Harley Flanagan stabbed and bit two current members of the band.
Following his arrest, Flanagan was charged with second degree assault and criminal possession of a weapon. But now, as DNAinfo reports (via Pitchfork), the charges against Flanagan have been dropped. Flanagan's lawyer Sean Parmenter maintained that persecution did not have sufficient evidence, adding Flanagan went to the show that night to make amends, but was attacked.

"It's quite alright," said Dami.
"So what actually happened?" asked Fuen.
"Well," started Dami, "a farmer drove past on a tractor, screaming that he'd just fulfilled a prophecy and that the end of the world was nigh."
"Blimey!" said Fuen. "Strong stuff."
"Do you know who it was?" asked Yuffie.
"Yeah, he's a local," sighed Dami. "Farmer Geddon."
Fuen grimaced.

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975 and I
recently deleted everything in my laptop and
when I restarted it, it kept on showing:
PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
also some other stuff at the top. This kept on
repeating itself and I couldn't start my
computer at all! I checked through other
forums looking for solutions and I tried what
they said, going into the bios and resetting it.
But it didn't work. So is there any way to fix
this problem? :(
Your Laptop is trying to boot from a non-existing Netwrok. It will try to do this because it cannot find anything else to boot from.
Go into the BIOS and disable the Network Boot and put your CD at the top of the boot list and reinstall the Operating System.
If you "recently deleted everything" in your laptop, how do you expect to boot up?
As StuartS stated, your system is trying to boot off a "non-existing Network", so either you actually did delete everything & there's nothing left on the HDD to boot off of, or you messed with the boot order settings in the BIOS.

Do you want to be more productive with your BlackBerry phone? Well, if you don't have the time to read manuals, here's a quick overview of some great time-saving features, tips and lesser-known keyboard shortcuts that will help you do things quickly and more efficiently on a BlackBerry.
BlackBerry Guide for Power Users – Take full advantage of your BlackBerry smartphone.
Close vs Escape – If you are running a browser or playing a game in your BlackBerry and press the "End Call" key, the application does not get closed but is merely hidden from your view. Too many open applications will soon slow down your BlackBerry so make it a habit to close, not escape.
See What's Running – To see a list of all open applications in your Blackberry, press the ALT key followed by Escape. It's pretty much like doing an Alt+Tab in Windows to help you navigate through open applications or switch from one application to another.
Save Web Pages – When you come across an interesting webpage but have no time reading it, you would normally send a link of that page as an email to yourself. To save time, simply open the menu of your BlackBerry internet browser and select "Save Page" – that page will be added to your message list just like other emails. This is like a built-in clipping tool.
Type URLs and Email Addresses Quickly – When typing a web address (URL) in the Blackberry browser, type a space and it is written as a dot. To insert a slash(/), use Shift+Space. When typing email addresses, your first space is recognized as @ while subsequent spaces are recognized as dots. So labnol google co uk will be written as firstname.lastname@example.com.
Delete Your Emails – If you are looking to clean your BlackBerry Inbox, press the CAPS key and scroll UP or DOWN using the wheel to select the email messages that you want to delete. If you want to completely clear the Inbox, press t in the Message view to move to the top and select "Delete Prior" – this will delete all your BlackBerry emails.
Signal Strength – While your BlackBerry will display the current signal strength as bars on the home-screen, hold down the ALT key and type NMLL – the bars will convert into real numbers indicating the exact strength in that area. Repeat the same keystrokes to switch to bar mode again.
Multiple Email Signatures – By default, BlackBerry will append a text signature to all your outgoing email messages that you have set through the BlackBerry Internet Services portal. If you like more personalized signatures, compose a new email message in your BlackBerry, go to "Edit Auto-Text" and set up multiple entries corresponding to your different signatures.
BlackBerry Clipboard – If you are looking to copy text from an email message and save that as a note, position your cursor in the email, hold the Shift key (left Caps) and roll the trackwheel. When you are done selecting, click the trackwheel to put that selection onto the clipboard. BlackBerry Internet Explorer has a special Select Mode to help you copy-paste text from web pages.
Convert Case without the CAPS key – When writing an email message, hold down the key of any letter for a slightly longer duration and it will automatically turn into a capital letter. To type an accent or a special character (like a => Ã ), hold the letter key and roll the track wheel.
Stop Receiving Sent Emails – Every time you send an email from BlackBerry, you get a copy in your Inbox. To prevent this, setup a BlackBerry Filter.
Web Applications – Blackberry software like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, Yahoo! Go, Google Talk, NewsGator, Picasa, etc. offer great experiences but they could drain the battery of your BlackBerry since these applications are constantly checking for updates in the background.
You may therefore want to switch to "manual updates" especially when running low on battery.
HTML Email – The current BlackBerry OS supports only text emails but the good news is the BlackBerry OS 4.5, due in few months, will support HTML email, YouTube and editing of Microsoft Office documents.
Erase Everything – If you are looking to sell your Blackberry phone or planning to exchange an old model with an upcoming version (like the BlackBerry 9000), it is a good idea to completely erase all your BlackBerry data. For that, go to Options -> Security Options -> General Settings and choose "Wipe Handheld" from the menu.
Prolong the Battery Life – You can set BlackBerry to completely shut down at a specific time and it will automatically wake up with the alarm (or any other time) – note that you won't be able to receive phone calls when the phone is switched off so don't turn off the device too early. Some more tips on improving the life of your BlackBerry Battery.
Move Around Web Pages Quickly – If you are reading a long (or very wide) web page, switch to the Page View mode that shows a view of the full website – use the scrollwheel to quickly navigate to any other area.
BlackBerry Resources – To download free BlackBerry software, games, ringtones and themes, go to Built For BlackBerry, Blackberry Owners Lounge or their Mobile Portal.
Screen Capture – There's no inbuilt screen capture application in a BlackBerry so I use Mobiola that can capture still images as well as a video of your BlackBerry activity. See detailed guide on taking screenshots of BlackBerry phone. The developer toolkit (SDK) also has a screenshot application that you can have for free.
Got a Problem – If you have a question or problem related to BlackBerry, you can seek help from the Official forums or the more popular CrackBerry Forums. You can also search their technical center for additional support.

The Mission Chapel on Vowchurch Common
by Brian Smith
A neat bungalow (Mount View) encircled by a blaze of flowers stands at the top of Vowchurch Common where the level land drops steeply down to the Golden Valley.
There is nothing to suggest it is in any way unusual, but in fact it represents the site of a former
Mission Chapel, opened by the vicar, J O Bevan, in 1893.
It was not recorded in 1913
Kelly's Directory of Herefordshire
Nevertheless, according to local memory it was packed with people on Sundays, though there is no recollection of the services or preachers.
Numbers of the congregation seemed to have fallen off in the 1930s and it became disused by 1939.
It became
a playground for local children before being turned into a dwelling in the 1950s by dividing it into two rooms.
It was demolished in the 1970s and replaced by
a brick bungalow.

Asthma Trigger
Something that is an asthma trigger in one person may not be an asthma trigger in another person. Asthma triggers can include cigarette smoke, pollen, cold weather, dust mites, pet dander -- even cockroaches. It's important for people with asthma to avoid the specific asthma trigger or triggers that bring on or worsen their symptoms.
For someone with asthma, there are asthma triggers that can make asthma symptoms worse and lead to asthma attacks.
Some of the more common asthma triggers are exercise, allergens, irritants, and viral infections. Some people only have asthma with exercise or a viral infection. The following sections give some examples of asthma triggers. If you still have questions or require more information on asthma triggers after reading this article, be sure to talk to your doctor.
Common allergens that are known to be asthma triggers include:
- Animal dander (from the skin, hair, or feathers of animals)
- Dust mites (contained in house dust)
- Cockroaches
- Pollen from trees and grass
- Mold (indoor and outdoor).
Irritants that can trigger asthma include:
- Cigarette smoke
- Air pollution
- Cold air or changes in weather
- Strong odors from painting or cooking
- Scented products
- Strong emotional expression (including crying or laughing hard) and stress.
Other known asthma triggers include:
- Medications such as aspirin and beta-blockers
- Sulfites in food (dried fruit) or beverages (wine)
- A condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that causes heartburn and that can worsen asthma symptoms, especially at night
- Irritants or allergens that you may be exposed to in the workplace, such as special chemicals or dusts
- Infections.

I am on a journey. To re-establish certain disciplines in my life.
It is somewhat surprising to me how easy "lack of discipline" can creep into my life. In a lot of areas. One leads to two, two leads to three...and on and on and on.
So, in my journey, I am taking on one at a time. I decided to start with my weight. That is a good example of the "creeping" that can take place. Five pounds quickly turns into ten, and ten can become twenty - and on and on and on. Suddenly - or not so suddenly - I find myself 25 pounds more than I should be. I decided that I did not want it to be 30 next year and 35 the next. So... discipline # 1. I am almost at my goal. I have actually reached my first goal, but am still working on the "ultimate" goal. And I can tell you - I feel much better. It is amazing how much better your body functions when it is not having to carry around the excess weight.
I have several more items that I intend to get back in order:
Consistent Bible Study time.
Consistent Exercise.
Order in my home.
Reading. (I have a ton of books just waiting on me to read them)
Writing. (I have several dreams/goals that I want to address here)
Even more consistency in my blogging.
I decided that I would be so overwhelmed if I tackled all of these at the same time. So, with the first one almost completely under my belt (a much smaller belt I might add :)... I continue the journey as I pick up another discipline.
I will share more as I accomplish a goal or two.
Do you want to join me on this journey. If so, tell me which area you are working on. I will pray for/with you and I covet your prayers too.
A disciplined life is a productive life. And knowing that I only have this one life - I want to spend it to the best of my ability for the Glory of God. Disciplines help me accomplish such.

I am on a journey. To re-establish certain disciplines in my life.

- Real Life Encouragement from Angie said...
I can agree with all you have said. Since I am facilitating a Financial Peace at Work class, I have been putting a lot of focus on finances (the 7 Baby Steps) and it feels great. I started working on simplicity at home when we moved at the end of June. We complicate our lives by having too much stuff. Having less is so much better. It's like being on vacation when it's time to clean the house. Less stuff, less mess! Still a long way to go. Thanks for sharing!

I have never been really good with discipline. But when I am it has been wonderful.
For instance,...I have lost 50 pounds several times in my life! (Need to do it again)
Quiet times alone with me and the Lord goes great for a time and then for whatever reason it gets sidelined and it is hard to get back with the program.
I find it much easier to stick to the routine when I am doing devotions each morning/day with my husband, because we remind each other that it is time for devotions.
So, I hear what you are saying, and I too need to get it together!
I have been sick for over two weeks and I am feeling weak. But with God's help I will be strong!
Love, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
P.S. I think of your dear son and know that he is forced to be disciplined to complete his daily duties in the war. Praying for his safety! And for you to have peace and not to worry about him.

What people are saying
I would never own or finance a car again because of what flexdrive does.
flexdrive's car subscriptions give me the ability to get a car for as long as I want with everything included.
I treat the subscription like it's my own car. No rental counters, no checking in and out. flexdrive takes the thinking out of owning a car.
flexdrive is so great. It's refreshing to experience wonderful customer service and I appreciate it very much.
Was super excited to have found the flexdrive app! flexdrive hooked me up with a sweet ride while I was in Miami for the month.
flexdrive should definitely be added to anyone's transportation options.
Our previous cars were costing us up to $300 a month for insurance and $500 to $1500 a year or more to maintain. With flexdrive we have none of those charges.
I loved how easy using flexdrive was to get in a car. It's like 1-2-3. That's it.
flexdrive gives me the flexibility of being able to change my cars when I need to. I don't have to worry about the cost of repairs or the cost of insurance.
