Homesense Weekly Planner
I popped into Homesense recently (one of the best shops for homeware and stationery), and as soon as I stumbled across this weekly planner I knew I had to buy it. I've been after a new weekly planner for my desk for a while now, as whilst I use my diary to keep on top of things, it's nice to see the week planned whilst I'm working at my desk. What really drew me to this was the fact it also notes the time, so you can literally plan your week out, hour-by-hour. The checklist at the side is really handy too - and it was a total steal at £5.99. I'm hoping it'll make me a bit more organised!
Diva Pro Styling 'Lily Daze' Hairdryer and Straighteners*
Okay, so can we just take a minute to appreciate how absolutely bloomin' STUNNING these are? I mean, who said hair stylers had to be boring, right? As soon as I laid eyes on these gorgeous hair stylers from Diva Pro Styling I fell in love. Their limited edition 'Lily Daze' print is a floral lover's dream and oh-so perfect for spring. I have been using these constantly since receiving them and oh my god - they're incredible. I had my doubts to begin with - having not previously heard of the brand - but as soon as I started using these I was hooked. They are honestly some of the best electronic hair tools I've ever tried - the straighteners in particular blew me away - they definitely give even GHDs a run for their money. I love how super slim these straighteners are, and I think the hairdryer is the perfect size for travelling. Honestly, I'm so impressed with these - not just a pretty face after all!
Lola Rose Compton Bracelet*
You know when a piece of jewellery comes along, and you just know you're going to be friends forever? That's how I felt when I received this stunning Lola Rose Compton bracelet. I love beaded bracelets at this time of year and particularly during the summer - I just think they look effortlessly cool go with every outfit. Lola Rose beaded bracelets are even more special because they're made from real gemstones - and pride themselves on being all about "everyday luxury", which I think totally sums the brand up. Wearing this bracelet daily always makes me feel that little bit luxurious, without having to splash the cash. I chose the Candy Mix Agate bracelet because it's just so me and features all the gorgeous pastel candy colours I love wearing at this time of year. It comes in a lovely velvet pouch along with a certificate of authenticity and I think it would make the perfect gift. There are loads of different designs available too, so you're spoilt for choice!
Body Fantasies Signature in Cotton Candy*
Cotton candy is up there in my top five scents, so when I heard Body Fantasies (one of my fave body spray brands - see this post here) were bringing out a cotton candy scented addition, in their new 236ml bottles, I was so excited to see if it lived up to my cotton candy-filled expectations. I wasn't disappointed. This body spray smells SO good: super sweet, and so much like candy floss. I'm all about those sickly sweet fragrances - think Lush's Snow Fairy and Rock Star, or Yankee Candle's cupcake-scented offerings. If you're a fan of sweet fragrances, you NEED this in your life.
Cath Kidston x Disney
Now, last but most definitely not least, say hello to my beloved Cath Kidston x Disney pyjamas. I have been living in these since they launched a few months ago but I realised I never actually shared them with you guys! I've been obsessed with each of Cath Kidston's Disney launches so far, and I'm super excited for the next one, 101 Dalmations, which is coming in May. You just can't beat one of your all-time favourite brands teaming up with Disney, can you? I can't wait for the next launch!
What have you been loving lately? Let me know!

Basil Seed Drink with Honey vs. Kombucha with Algae and Chia Seeds
I was at a market in Oakland, California and found a drink called "Basil Seed Drink with Honey". There were black seeds suspended in the bottles. It looked interesting, so I purchased one.
A Country Called "Hungry"
Now I know why the country is called "Hungary" -- lunch lasted 9 hours: cabbage stuffed with pickled garlic, sauerkraut, pancakes with meat and gravy, poppy seed desert, beer, followed by pretzel and glühwein, Czech beer, pickled cheese & sausage, bread, and shot of mountain ash berry something in a pub filled with so much smoke the place could have been on fire...

How to Download and Read Free Ebooks While Traveling
Should travelers bring paper books on the road or buy an ebook reader?
Personally, I like physically holding books in my hand and can't see myself ever getting a Kindle or other ebook reader. But sometimes it's difficult to find English-language books while traveling overseas. Also, books are heavy to carry around.
If you do find yourself stuck without something to read, there are some easy ways to read high-quality ebooks for free on your laptop, tablet computer, iPod, or smartphone without buying an ebook reader.
Paximadi and Cretan Salad
I'm currently on the island of Crete, just finishing up a meal of paximadi.
Paximadi (παξιμάδι) is a kind of hard, twice-baked bread that is common in Greece. To a person who has never seen it before, it looks like stale bread. Someone at a hostel once threw my bag of paximadi in the trash with a loud clunk, because they thought it had gone bad.
To prepare the paximadi, it is rinsed off in water to soften it.
I've seen it in two common dishes on Crete: dakos (ντάκος) and Cretan salad.
Here's what paximadi looks like in the bag:
Camping Koula and Aqua Cafe, Paros
If you bring a tent to Greece, you can camp out in the Islands on a budget. I just spent a week on the island of Paros in a great campground called Camping Koula. It's not far from the ferry port, right across the road from the beach in the main town on Paros, Parikia.
They have a nice camping area, clean bathrooms, and a great cafe (Aqua Cafe) on the beach, with free WiFi:

How to Make Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee
Following up on my recipe for cold-brewed iced tea yesterday, here's a great recipe for cold-brewed iced coffee. The advantage of cold-brewing iced coffee is that it will have a much better, smoother taste than iced coffee that is brewed hot and then cooled.

Coyote Creek State Park

Coyote Creek State Park is a state park of New Mexico, United States, preserving a riparian canyon in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The park is located 17 miles (27 km) north of Mora. Coyote Creek is the most densely stocked trout stream in New Mexico.[2]
Coyote Creek, a tributary of the Mora River, flows almost due south through Guadalupita Canyon. An ridge called La Mesa rises to 9,112 feet (2,777 m) in elevation above the park to the east, and to the west is the Rincon subrange of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.[3] The park is located in the eastern foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at an altitude of 7,700 feet (2,300 m). There is an average precipitation of 18 inches (46 cm) per year and an average annual temperature of 46 °F (8 °C). Summer temperatures reaching 90 °F (32 °C) are unusual, though winters are severe with subzero temperatures and heavy snow. The average annual flow of Coyote Creek is about 10,000 acre feet (12,000,000 m3).[1]
The oldest rocks visible in Coyote Creek State Park were deposited during the Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian between 320 and 250 million years ago.[1] In a geosyncline at the edge of a great shallow sea, limestone formed underwater is intermixed with sandstone and shale eroded from mountains to the west. The sea retreated and advanced several times and the mountains eventually eroded away. 70 million years ago the Laramide orogeny uplifted the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, steeply tilting the earlier sediments down to the east. New mountain sediments formed a vast alluvial plain. 8 million years ago a series of volcanic eruptions took place to the east, forming the Ocate volcanic field.[3] The top of the basalt flows was 1,000 feet (300 m) higher than the bottom of Guadalupita Canyon is today.[1] Canyons gradually carved into the lava flows were inundated with more basalt by later eruptions, creating a reverse stratigraphy where newer deposits are below older deposits.[3] Guadalupita Canyon was carved during the Pleistocene epoch when there were small glaciers in the mountains to the west. The creekbed initially shifted eastward following the eroding edge of the basalt. Upon hitting the softer Pennsylvanian sediments, however, the creek began carving downward, creating a valley with a steep east wall and a more gradual slope to the west.[1]
Flora and fauna[edit]
The riparian zone along the creek is dominated by coyote willow with some narrowleaf cottonwood and chokecherry intermixed. East of the creek are wet meadows followed by a ponderosa pine forest with an understory of Gambel oak. On the west side of the park is a conifer forest of Douglas fir, limber pine, blue spruce, Engelmann spruce, bristlecone pine, white fir, and quaking aspen, again with a Gambel oak understory.[1] Species diversity is lower at the north and south ends of the park. Coyote Creek State Park is known for its wildflowers, such as geraniums, sunflowers, irises, and primroses.[3]
Mammals known to inhabit the immediate area include black bears, cougars, elk, mule deer, red and gray foxes, bobcats, coyotes, skunks, and porcupines. Beavers have created small pools along the creek with their dams. These ponds have benefited the game fish, which include rainbow trout, brown trout, Rio Grande cutthroat trout, and white suckers. Numerous bird species have been identified in the park, and the endangered southwestern subspecies of the willow flycatcher nests and breeds along Coyote Creek.[1]
The Coyote Creek area was inhabited by Native Americans for centuries, although no significant archaeological sites have been found within the park.[1] Settlement by Euro-Americans began in 1837 when three residents of Taos received a community land grant from the Mexican government.[4] The Coyote Creek valley was farmed and many sections were held as community property. With the annexation of New Mexico by the United States in 1846, the grant only narrowly succeeded in being honored. However Stephen Benton Elkins and Thomas B. Catron began buying up community lands, so in defense the residents of Guadalupita divided up and privatized the remaining common parcels in 1889.[4]
In the early 1930s many of the parcels were consolidated into a ranch owned by Eusebio Romero. A ranch house and the remains of a moonshine shack from this era are still visible in the park.[1] In the late 1960s, as a new owner bought up the ranch, 80 acres (32 ha) surveyed as prime state park material were set aside.[4] This property was purchased by the state on April 24, 1969 for $16,000. The park maintains an official arrangement with an acequia of landowners downstream.[1] Coyote Creek State Park was greatly expanded in size in 2004 with the purchase and donation of 382 acres (155 ha) by The Trust for Public Land.[4]
Coyote Creek State Park is open year-round, with most visitors coming to fish, hike, camp, and picnic. A 2-mile (3.2 km) trail circles through the park, crossing the creek twice.[1]

Standing Guard Since 2801
You know, here on Solaris VII we often forget our roots. Specifically, where those awesome machines of death and destruction we love started. Now I know all you guys are familiar with the CN9-A Centurion, but hey, maybe you were born recently, live under a rock, and have no idea what that is. So let's do a little discussion on that beauty of medium 'Mechs.
The CN9-A Centurion isn't about any one thing, it's about every thing. AC/10? Check. LRM-10? Check. Two Medium Lasers? Check. There's no area of weapons this baby is bad at – you've got the LRM-10 to chew 'em up at range - and believe me, ten long range missiles can ruin your day fast, am I right guys? – then your AC/10 reaches out and slugs 'em upside the head, then if they make it through that they get two medium lasers in the face at close range, with that AC/10 still kickin'. In short, there's pretty much no-where you can be that this baby can't – and won't – hit you. And just look at it. It's tall, but lean. It's like an ancient, armoured warrior. Sure it's a little slow, but wouldn't you be slow if you had that kinda weaponry? And it's got that awesome helmet, am I right here guys? That alone makes you want to strap in and kick some Jenner's around. There's a reason this thing – even though it's a medium 'Mech – has always been a force in Solaris matches.
It's got heart guys, and that's not easy to see right away, is it? 'It's just a machine, how could it have heart?' I hear you saying. But look at it. And look at its history. Yen-lo-wang, that famous of famous 'Mechs, absolutely wrecked the circuit when Justin Xiang-Allard was at the helm. Good guy, great pilot! The Centurion though, it's just so… it's regal guys, it's a knight in gleaming armour waitin' to charge a dragon. Or a Mercenary, whatever. To sum up, the Centurion has a long and storied history not just here on Solaris VII, but all across the inner sphere. It's ancient, it's cool, and guys, I love it. And I think you will too.

This week we moved into a brand new state-of-the-art office building – the new headquarters for Hergenrother Enterprises (KW Vermont, Hergenrother Realty Group, Adam Hergenrother Training Organization, BlackRock Construction, and Hergenrother Foundation). Last week, Hergenrother Enterprises was named one of the Best Places to Work in Vermont. Both of these accomplishments were a testament to the hard work of my incredible team and garnered a lot of positive press.
I'll take it! Because it's not always this way. These moments in the spotlight are great, but fleeting. They will be up for a day, maybe two, and then replaced by the next big story – usually something controversial or provocative – whatever will get the most attention. For every positive piece of news about you in the media, there are five conversations swirling around the business community maligning your reputation, questioning your business practices, or just spreading rumors about you and your leadership. The funny thing, is the more success you have, the more people will try to tear you down.
There are two ways to build the biggest building in town:
1. Build the biggest building in town.
2. Tear down all the other buildings around you.
I will always choose option one. But my competition and your competition may choose option two and you've got to be prepared. So how do you get your company to stand out among the noise? How do maintain your company's reputation day after day? How do you secure your company against the competition who may be determined to tear you down?
Perception is reality. It is your job to ensure that your company's perception is pristine, that you are leading your company from a place of integrity, and that you are sharing your successes widely and often. No one else is going to do it for you.
Here are five things you can implement to secure your company's reputation against the competition:
- Earned media. Public relations. Free press. Whatever you want to call it. Go get it. The more good news you are putting out into the world, the better. It can be as simple as sharing a press release about your company's latest charity event or sharing each new hire on social media. It's great when your company receives an industry award, but if you aren't sharing that with your followers, your customers, and your clients, they will never know. Publishing a weekly blog or monthly newsletter that highlights an employee or the success of a recent wellness initiative, all stack the cards in your favor. I'm not talking about paid advertising here. I'm talking about sharing your company's story and inviting people to get involved – whether that's with an upcoming volunteer project or to submit their resume for a career opportunity. I know your company is doing great things. It's time to let the rest of the world know.
- Strategic giving. At a certain point in your career, you're going to start getting asked to donate or sponsor events several times a week. I get it. There are thousands of amazing organizations, all with limited funding and resources. But your resources and charitable donation pool is limited too. This is where you've got to get strategic. With the funds that you do have allocated to charitable giving, make sure to work with organizations that you are passionate about and who align with your vision and mission. Your giving will go much further when you not only give monetarily to two or three organizations that your believe deeply in, but that you will also wiling donate your time to.
- Company culture. Your employees and business partners can be your biggest allies (or your biggest adversaries) when it comes to protecting your company's reputation. Who knows the inner workings of your company better than your staff? What will they say about your company? Is your culture strong enough to withstand your competition's attempts to tear you down? Do you have weekly, monthly, and yearly company events to bring everyone together? Are you transparent when there are issues? Do your employees know they can come to you with concerns? Focus on your people. In fact, your people are the ones that create the culture, not you. Culture does not come from the top down, but from within the organization, based on each of the people you bring into your world. Protect your company culture fiercely. If your culture is strong your team will be your biggest defenders and advocates when there is a bump in the road.
- Leave your ego at the door. As you build your empire and start having more success, the target on your back becomes bigger. You are a threat to other businesses, and really at the core, you are making other people feel less significant. You will have people attack you personally and you are going to want to attack back; it's just human nature. Don't. It is not about you anymore. You have a company and hundreds, maybe thousands, of people, who depend on you for your sound judgement, integrity, and ability to remain calm and collected in the face of chaos. The decisions you make are not for you, they are for the good of the company. It doesn't matter what is said about you, it's about what is best for your company's reputation, and what is best for the people you are responsible for. There is no room for ego at the top.
- No comment. When you're faced with negative press, when rumors are flying, and when you've got reporters calling for an interview (and at some point this will happen to all of you as you're building a business), just pause and consider your words carefully. Haters are gonna hate. You don't want that negativity in your life. Take the high road. Simply reply no comment, or consult your lawyer for an appropriate response. If you don't add fuel to the fire, the fire will die. Instead, focus on your team (point 3) and all the positive work you are doing and share (point 1)!
Did you notice that all of the points above are about YOU and your company? They have nothing to do with you competition. Keep your focus on bettering yourself and your company every day and you will always win.

A429-RxTxMultichannel ARINC 429 Receiver/Transmitter
The A429-RxTx IP core is a multichannel transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) compliant to the ARINC 429 standard.
Developed according to DO-254 ED-80 guidelines and field-proven in many civilian and military avionics systems, the core is highly reliable and ready for aviation applications.
The A429-RxTx core is designed to enable independent control of multiple receive and transmit channels with minimum overhead for the host processor. The number of Rx and Tx channels is configurable at synthesis time. Frames received or to be transmitted are stored in 32-bit wide FIFOs of synthesis-time configurable depth. The core provides access to the FIFOs and to its status and control registers via a generic 32-bit wide host interface.
Using the core's control registers, the host can independently configure each of the channels. For each transmit or receive channel the data-rate (12.5 or 100 kbps) and parity generation or checking mode (odd or even) can be chosen. Receiving channels can also be programmed to filter data based on the label and/or the SDI fields of the incoming frames.
With frame filtering enabled, the core delivers to the host only the received messages that have specific label field values and SDI field values. Status information (FIFO occupancy, transmission or reception status, etc.), and possible reception errors are reported to the host via the core's status registers, but also via a rich set of maskable interrupts.
The A429-RxTx core is designed with industry best practices, and its reliability has been proven in real life in many civilian and military avionics systems. The core is available in VHDL RTL or as a targeted FPGA netlist. Deliverables provide everything required for a successful implementation, including sample scripts, an extensive testbench, and comprehensive documentation. An FMC FPGA board is also available for evaluating or in-field testing the core.
This core can be mapped to any any Intel, Lattice, MicroSemi, or Xilinx programmable device, or to any ASIC technology, provided sufficient silicon resources are available. Please contact CAST Sales to get accurate characterization data for your specific implementation requirements. Meanwhile, we provide the following representative results (each in a new pop-up window):
The core is suitable for devices or systems with an ARINC 429 interface and designed for aviation applications such as flight guidance and navigation, or flight data communication and recording.

Once the matching gift of a previous donation is received, you will want to return to the donation record of the gift that is being matched to create the matching donation payment.
In keeping with our previous example, you will want to open Linda Mercury's donation of $200 that was entered on 9/10/08. Search for Linda's record and open her donation record by selecting Donations node under the Constituent Explorer panel of her record. A list of Linda's donations will be displayed.
Notice in the example below that Linda's $200 gift to be matched appears in italics on her donation screen. This makes it easy to distinguish which gift(s) are to be matched.
Double click on the italicized donation to open the donation record.
Select the Matching button, located in the bottom left corner of the donation record, by clicking it one time. From here you will be able to remove or change the matching constituent or you can select details to view the details of the match. Select Details and the corresponding name. For this example the corresponding name is Star Enterprises.
The Matching Donations window appears. Select the Create Matching Donation button, the New Donation window appears.
You will notice that the Donor name has been populated with the matching company's name, Star Enterprises.
The Soft Credit Donor's name has been populated with the original donor's name, Linda Mercury. (A Soft Credit is entered when a donation is received because of another constituent such as a matching donation. When the matching donation is received you want to give a soft credit to the original donor.)
The Donation Amount field has been automatically populated with the donation amount.
The same fund, campaign and appeal applied to the original gift record are populated on the matching gift donation record. Notice at the bottom of the donation screen, it now states that this gift is a Matching Payment for Donation 2561. Donation 2561 was the Donation ID number of Linda Mercury's original gift.
You will need to enter a batch number, payment type and received date (or adjust received date as necessary) as usual.
Select Save. Close the donation screen and you are returned to the original donation screen. For this example you are returned to Linda's record.
To check that the matching gift now reflects as paid, select the Matching button on this screen. You will notice that the Status (bottom right hand corner) has automatically defaulted to Paid.

Delta Community believes it's really important to support the youth and schools in our community. One way we do this is with our Serve & Deserve Contributions Program. It helps high school clubs and organizations raise funds for operating costs or for events and programs that benefit the student population as a whole, while also helping benefit charitable organizations.
To earn a donation for a high school program, a high school organization must agree to raise funds for a local charitable group that provides services to individuals or families in their local communities. Once they agree to do this, Delta Community will make a contribution directly to the high school organization in the same amount of the dollars raised for the charity, up to certain amounts.
To be considered for this program, you must be a student, parent or faculty-based organization or club affiliated with public or private high schools in one of the metro Atlanta counties listed in the Program Rules and Terms. The organization must be recognized by the school, and its work must benefit the school's student body in a demonstrable way.
If you're eligible to be considered, a representative from the organization should complete and submit a copy of the application at least 45 days prior to the date of the fundraising effort. Instructions and contact information appear on the application. Delta Community will review all applications and respond within five business days.

Buddhism attracting more young Singaporeans
By April Chong, The Straits Times, May 19, 2008
And they are not just following the faith but also taking up leadership roles
Singapore -- YOUNG, educated and holding a white-collared job: This could describe the average credit-card holder - but it also describes the growing breed of practising Buddhists here.
Radiation therapist Melissa Koh, 25, for example, started taking Buddhist classes a few years ago, just before she began working and needed 'spiritual help' to sort out what she wanted in life.
'I can apply the teachings of mindfulness, compassion and impermanence to what I do every day,' said the young woman, who has since moved on to volunteering with Buddhist groups and is organising a conference for Buddhist youth in August.
She is part of a groundswell of younger followers who mark Vesak Day today with Buddhists here and abroad. Temples, missions and meditation centres confirm that most new followers of this faith are around her age.
That census also acknowledged a four-fold jump in Buddhists who were graduates between 1990 and 2000, a statistic fed by the jump in the number of younger people following the tenets of the faith.
The membership numbers of Buddhist youth groups are telling: The Kong Meng San Youth Ministry, which had 950 members in 2003, has almost 3,600 now; seven in 10 of their members have at least a diploma, said its manager Yap Ching Wi, 39.
At the Singapore Buddhist Mission Youth, membership jumped from 10 a decade ago to 200 members aged between 12 and 24 today, said committee member Alvin Yeo, 24.
And these younger people are not just following the faith in private. They are coming forward to take leadership roles in Buddhist groups, giving the top rungs new blood.
Ten years ago, less than a quarter of the members of Toa Payoh Seu Teck Sean Tong Temple's management committee of volunteers were under 50. Today, about half are, and most are working professionals, said the temple's ritual head Joe Lim, 42, who works in the information technology line.
So what is the draw?
Buddhist converts told The Straits Times that the religion offered comfort in the face of uncertainties and disasters, and a constant reminder to look beyond the materialism of the rat race and to attain calmness and happiness through meditation and reflection.
These were what pulled Hindu-born Tara Melwani, 43 and director of the retailing group Jay Gee Melwani, into the faith in the late 1990s, during the Asian economic crisis. She had then been picked to take over the family business, and felt that her life was in a shambles.
When a Buddhist monk she met overwhelmed her with his show of compassion, she decided that she, too, wanted to be 'free from confusion, hang-ups and anger'.
'Through Buddhism, I can be a better daughter, a better sister, a better friend and a better colleague,' she said.
The religion seems to have quite a large celebrity following. For example, actress Nadya Hutagalung, 34, born into a largely Christian family, became a Buddhist four years ago, sold on its philosophy of reaping what you sow.
Many young professionals encounter Buddhist teachings through centres and gatherings, and spread the word through e-mail, websites and even social networking sites like Facebook.
Buddhist groups have, on their part, evolved to attract younger followers: Most activities are now run in English, and even include programmes to hone leadership and personal development skills.
By making itself accessible and inclusive, the religion has reached out even to those of other religions.
Singapore Exchange chief Hsieh Foo Hua, 57, for example, is a staunch Christian who attends Buddhist talks, especially those by high monks.
He said: 'Buddhism is a very embracing and non- exclusive religion...I am fundamentally rooted as a Christian but I am impressed and influenced by Buddhist thinking, which has helped me in the uplifting of the mind and spirit.'

Be The Boss: 2001 BMW 740i E38
The E38 generation of BMW 7-series was produced from 1994 through 2001, and if you want the best, you should probably look for a later version. The 282 horsepower M62 V8 might not make as much power as the big M73 V12, but it will be better on your wallet in the short and long term. I just wish I could find one with a 6-speed...

Son of a...!? I've never seen a 740 of this generation this clean. Hell, even the trunk and spare wheel look new. Low miles for a 2001 for sure, but not in general. Hell... for the price though...ReplyDelete
after all my hand-wringing and overthinking, i'm coming to the conclusion that one of these is just about perfect for me - got to be stick, non-negotiable - will do my best to find a V12 with the long wheelbaseReplyDelete
Just FYI for anyone who may have been fooled by the M Parallel wheels, this 740i is not a Sport model. And it's not terrifically priced either. $6500 for a well-sorted, well-maintained Sport, maybe, but definitely not for a regular 740i with 125k on the clock (not even that low). Hell, there was a 6-speed swapped 740i Sport on Craigslist in CA for $6k for a while.ReplyDelete
- BuickFanJune 15, 2017 at 8:55 PM
I've heard the Sport package really transforms these into a great drivers car. I'd love one if I wasn't so afraid of paying half the value of the car each year in maintenance.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Unknown. I was looking at this entry with a lustful/stupid eye.ReplyDelete
Being 6' 5" and liking my space, I've always been fans of these as well, but a well maintained Sport model 7-series for $6k-ish? That sounds like a tall order... that's me rummaging around though.ReplyDelete
2001 BMW 740i w/ Sport Package, 73k - $9,750
2001 BMW 740i, 119k - $6,000

Kelly Gerrard and I were lucky enough to be invited to Grafton Primary School last week as part of the Pop-Up Project.
We did a graphic novel workshop with the children based around An Egyptian Escape. After our event we left the year four classes with a project inspired by the book and asked them to create their very own graphic novel style stories.
It was so inspiring to see the children letting their imaginations run wild and many of them were incredibly talented illustrators already - let's hope they keep it up.
We had a great day and the work the children produced was spectacular. I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone at Grafton Primary School and the Pop-Up Project for looking after us so well.
Have a look at some of our favourites, I think you will agree they are a very talented bunch.
You can purchase An Egyptian Escape and The Roman Rescue in all good book shops. You can also read more about them here

These rolls are ooey-gooey, filled with apples and cinnamon sugar, doused in browned butter, and topped with a butter-y, maple-y frosting. To say these are an indulgence would be an understatement.
When I found the recipe, I thought I was going to be able to veganize them…. but I figured out that you can't brown Earth Balance and used decided to use regular butter instead. This was definitely a mistake on my part (because I'm lactose intolerant), but they turned out so great that I ate a couple of helpings anyway. If my mom is reading this right now I'm sure her eyes are practically rolling out of her head but… it was totally worth the headache I got afterward. Seriously, these are heavenly.
So, here is my advice for all of you lactose tolerant people out there… invite your friends over for brunch and feed them these. You will become veeerrrryyyy popular.
Gooey Apple Cinnamon Rolls
Makes about 12 rolls
4 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour (separated)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 packet of active yeast (1/4 oz. or 2 1/4 t)
2 medium apples, chopped into small cubes (about 1 1/2 cups chopped)
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup ground cinnamon
1 cup of butter, melted (2 sticks)
1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
1 1/3 cup of powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure maple extract (or pure vanilla extract)
1/4 cup milk
To prepare the dough, heat milk, oil and cane sugar for 5-8 minutes (do not boil). Pour milk into a large mixing bowl and let it reach lukewarm temperatures (to the touch) for about 10 minutes.
Once milk is lukewarm to the touch, sprinkle packet of yeast on top and let it set for one minute. After a minute has passed, pour in four cups of flour and mix until incorporated nicely. Cover bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let dough rise for one hour in a relatively warm area.
After one hour, mix in last 1/2 cup of flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
For the filling, heat up 1 cup of butter and brown it. Be watchful not to burn the butter by looking out for the center of the boiling butter. When the center forms a caramel color quickly remove it from the stove-top and set aside. Then in a small bowl mix brown sugar and cinnamon together and have chopped apples in a separate bowl.
Place dough onto a well floured surface and begin to roll it into a thin, long rectangle.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once filling components are ready, spoon 1/2 of melted browned butter onto rolled out dough and spread evenly with spoon. Then evenly sprinkle on brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, followed by chopped apples. Take long end, closest to you, and start to tightly roll dough with filling (try to keep the roll as tight as possible). Once dough and filling has been rolled into a log, pinch the seams shut. Using a sharp knife, slice 1 1/2 inch slices and place into a greased baking pan. Do NOT overcrowd the rolls, separate them into two pans if you need (I crammed mine into the pan and the middle wasn't fully cooked). Drizzle remaining 1/2 cup of melted browned butter evenly over the cinnamon rolls.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
For the frosting, melt 1/2 cup of butter and pour into a medium bowl. Mix in powdered sugar, salt, milk and maple extract until smooth.
Pour frosting evenly over cinnamon rolls.
Serve warm.

Particle Size
Small particles decompose quicker than larger ones, because more of the total volume is exposed to decomposers. Chopping or shredding coarse and woody materials before adding them to the compost pile increases the surface area accessible to decomposers and therefore speeds up the composting process.
An alternative to purchasing a chipper or shredder is to simply place twigs and small branches in the driveway and run over them with the car a few times. Then simply sweep up the smaller pieces and place them in the compost pile.

What is God saying to His human creation in our day and time? In brief, He is saying, "Jesus Christ is My beloved Son. Hear Him! "Why is there rejection? Why do men and women fail to listen? Because God's message in Jesus is a moral pronouncement. Men and women do not wish to be under the authority of the moral Word of God! For centuries, God spoke in many ways. He inspired holy men to write portions of the message in a book. People do not like it so they try their best to avoid it because God has made it the final test of all morality, the final test of all Christian ethics. God, being one in His nature, is always able to say the same thing to everyone who hears Him. Christian believers must know that any understanding of the Word of God must come from the same Spirit who provided the inspiration!
I hope that you enjoyed this devotional as much as I did. Have a Simply Heavenly day!! God bless you!!!

Stash Tea and Me
By William I. Lengeman III
I came to tea rather late in life, having discovered its many and varied charms less than a decade ago. But back in the good old days, when I was just beginning to make my acquaintance with this beverage, I experimented with quite a number of varieties from the good people at Stash Tea. Some of the ones I was particularly fond of were their Premium Green and Peppermint varieties. Yes, the latter is technically a tisane rather than a tea, but to this day I still like a peppermint "tea" that's lively enough to scorch your sinuses, and Stash Peppermint fits the bill.

Beth Chandler is engaged to workaholic lawyer, Lucas Dempsey. Two weeks into their engagement Beth finds herself scared and alone, gripping the steering wheel of her ca for dear life, as she tries to overcome her fear of boats whilst travelling to meet Lucas' family on the small island of Anchor. A chance meeting with an attractive, blue-eyed man and his dog helps get her through the journey but panic strikes in a different form when she finds out he is actually Lucas' brother, Joe.
After only one night on the island, Lucas is called back to work and leaves Beth in the capable hands of his brother. As the two spend more time together both Beth and Joe realise there is an attraction that neither can act on. Will Beth marry a man she does not love just to make him happy or can she finally put her own feelings first?
Lovely story about the people of Anchor Island and one woman's decision to finally make her life her own. We meet some wonderful characters in this opening story: Sid, Joe's female boat mechanic, Will, the jack of all trades worker who offers her help all over the island, and Lola LaBlanc, owner of the Arts and crafts shop.
If you are looking for a heart-warming story with slow paced living and idealic scenery then this is the book for you. Don't get me wrong there is still problems to overcome and ex-fiancée's causing problems for the islanders but it is well written and a very enjoyable way to lose yourself for a few hours/days.

I AM The Stereotype I Loathe (or Why I Went Vegan)
The dreaded v-word. Vegetarian. Or the other dreaded v-word: vegan. You're hardcore if you're vegan, man; like, you've gone past hipster disdain at the organic snobbery and farmer's market elitism. You're in the big leagues now.
For those of you who don't know it yet, I live in Portland, Oregon. Yes, that Portlandia. There are plenty of folks and places that are just like us, we've just happened to gain infamy from it (and it helps that Carrie Brownstein is from the Pacific Northwest – although she's from Seattle, not Portland, whatever…). We also fit the stereotype: we shop at our local farmer's market (and on our bicycles), we mostly eat vegetarian (I go vegan), we buy organic produce (and we are growing our own vegetables), we recycle, we make our own bread, we even make our own dishwashing soap. You wanna barf yet?
Not that I need to justify my life to anyone (stopped doing that once I moved out on my own), but the reality is, we're trying to save money – making and growing our own food, cycling everywhere, etc., costs less money. Of course we're going to eat organic because we need to stay healthy to avoid doctor/hospital visits.
Cutting back on your meat intake is beneficial to your body. You don't have to cut it out entirely – we still eat meat, but maybe once or twice a month instead of nightly, as we did years ago. I go vegan because I'm lactose-intolerant and as much as I love cheese and ice cream, the pain and suffering I endure post-meals is just something I can do without these days.
Lastly, who doesn't recycle these days? We're no different from you. Maybe a little different. I finally did admit to myself a few months ago that I am exactly the hipster stereotype I loathe, minus the skinny jeans and moustache, though. I had asked my mother-in-law for the most touristy umbrella to use here in PDX. I told her the uglier, the better and she delivered. I absolutely love this umbrella because it's hideous. Good gravy, I am a hipster. Somebody shoot me.
Talk to me!
Have you changed the way you eat recently? What motivated you to do it? Was it a happy accident or orchestrated by health concerns? What's the foodie-stereotype you most identify with (and which irks you the most)?

Bahrain severs diplomatic ties with Iran
Bahrain is severing diplomatic ties with Iran, according to a government minister from the island kingdom.
Bahrain's minister of media affairs Isa al-Hamadi made the announcement amid heightened tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Iran is frequently accused by Bahrain of being behind the long-running, low-level insurgency in the country since its majority Shiite population began protests in 2011 against Bahrain's Sunni rulers.
Saudi Arabia is also severing diplomatic ties with Iran following the execution of prominent opposition Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr and attacks on its diplomatic posts in the Islamic Republic.

Science is a system of inquiry and knowledge production that, through a process of observation and experiment, "democratizes" the study of the physical and natural world. Although science represents a significant advance over previous knowledge systems, limitations in its capacity to cope with some types of observable phenomena is becoming increasingly apparent. The purpose of this talk is to consider and define the limits of science, and to propose the need for an alternate and complimentary system of inquiry. Such a system must embody a greater capacity to cope with the presence of free will, multiple dimensions, and other phenomena that fall outside the limits of the 3-dimensional experiment. We will ensure a spirited opportunity for discussion.
Amy Lewis is a Ph.D. candidate in political science at Colorado State University and Vice President of Communications and Development at the WILD Foundation, an international conservation NGO. She has given numerous lectures on the philosophy of science, and is both personally and professionally interested in better understanding the potentials and limitations of the scientific process. Amy is an excellent follow-up to our previous speaker, Don Daniels, because she has had her own direct ET experiences that confirm a wider reality.

Data Integrity Training
Data Integrity Training
FDA's emphasis on data integrity and electronic record compliance causes anxiety, confusion and frustration. What is "data integrity" as it relates to day-to-day activities? to data entry versus data review and manipulation and reporting? to data transmittal from one system to another? to data archives of historical records?
And who is responsible for data integrity? You? Your supplier? Both of you? When does data integrity start? At system login or when actual regulated data is first entered?
During an onsite corporate training workshop on data integrity for a multi-national medical device firm, Cerulean provided answers, examples, and steps to take for all of these questions to executives from Quality, IT, Laboratories, Manufacturing, and senior management. Here's what the Quality Director had to say:
"We really like John Avellanet's attitude of "do what you need to do – don't do what you don't have to do." The weight of his experiences and real-life, recent examples presented by John in our training got the message home to the staff and management team. Everyone now understands that data integrity is something that we cannot take lightly and we have put resources into it. John gave us a pragmatic, business-oriented model to compliance that really works for us."
– Patricia Buck, Director, Quality, Huntsville, Alabama
If you are looking for a trustworthy data integrity expert, John Avellanet has been dealing with and solving data integrity issues since the days of the TRS-80 and the early versions of MS-DOS. Take a look Cerulean's specialized data integrity Part 11 consulting services, or download and read some of our "how to" articles. And contact Cerulean when you are ready for data integrity training tailored to your needs that will give you the answers and the specific steps to take.

Being told you need to have a stoma fitted is a life-changing moment, but help is at hand as two local ladies are keen to show.
Pam Bradley from Caistor and Jenny Turner from Market Rasen are both members of Lincolnshire IA.
The group supports anyone who has had, or is about to have, a permanent or temporary ileostomy, internal pouch, colostomy or urostomy .
This year the group marks its 50th year, so Pam and Jenny are keen to promote the support available.
"I was one of the lucky ones; I had no problems," said Pam, who had a colostomy five years ago.
"It was about a year before I felt my own self again, but now I do everything I want to do.
"I have had brilliant support from my family, but being part of the group it is nice to speak to people in a similar situation.
"I have made some wonderful friends and I wanted to give something back, so three years ago I went on the Lincolnshire IA committee."
Fellow committee member Jenny is an associate member of the group, having cared for someone with a stoma.
She said: "I looked after a lady with a stoma and the group is a really good support, as well as showing people different products and finding ways to cope with things."
Based in Lincoln, the group is open to anyone from across the county.
Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month.
There is also lots of information available without attending the meetings and a trained advisor can make home visits.
Pam added: "We want to get the word out and tell more people about the group."
One of the ways Pam is planning to do just that is by hosting a fundraising garden party at her Lincoln Drive home in Caistor on July 1, with the help of her friends from Nettleton Methodist Chapel.
The event runs from 2pm to 4pm and will be officially opened by the Caistor Mayor.

7 Gigs That Make Good Second Jobs
By Debra Auerbach
Perhaps it's to help cover your bills. Or maybe it's to seek fulfillment not experienced at your day job. Whatever the reason, if you are looking to get a second job, you're not alone. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 7 million Americans hold more than one job.
Here, experts and job seekers weigh in on what they consider to be the best moonlighting gigs. The suggestions run the gamut from child care to cosmetic procedures, but all provide a means for pulling in some extra income.
Details: "I am an attorney who moonlights as a bartender," says Brianna Sadler, partner at a law firm in Minnesota. "It's actually a great way to meet future clients without violating the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, as I am able to have a personal relationship with the guests/clients and help fulfill both their need for a drink and possibly legal advice. As I am a plaintiff's attorney, it's also a great way to pay my rent until I have my 'one big case' we all dream about."
Potential pay: Bartenders earn a mean hourly wage of $10.25, according to the BLS.
Details: "I recently started my own consulting business in August, and while I was getting that up and running, I was actively seeking freelance writing work," says Sophia Habl Mitchell, principal at Sophia Mitchell & Associates. "Taking small gigs through freelance sites ... can be a great way to supplement income. The best part is that this work can be done at home, before or after a 'regular job.'"
Potential pay: While pay varies based on the type of freelance assignment, Mitchell says she earned $3,000 in four months by doing a variety of freelance work, including writing for a travel website and ghostwriting blog content.
Cosmetic laser technician
Details: "Cosmetic laser technician is a career some people do part time while holding down another full-time job," says Louis Silberman, president of National Laser Institute. "Cosmetic laser technicians work mostly in med spas and doctors' offices as independent contractors. They perform procedures like laser hair removal and laser skin resurfacing. Some RNs have received their laser certification to increase their earning potential by performing cosmetic procedures."
Potential pay: According to the NLI, the most common scenario is a blend of an hourly rate plus commission. The hourly rates usually range from $15 to $25, in addition to a commission ranging from 3 to 20 percent. At med spas, technicians typically receive a gratuity.

Child-care provider
Details: My husband and I have two small children, and we juggle going back and forth to the office and staying home with the kids," says Brina Bujkovsky, owner and CEO of The Younique Boutique. "We decided to start a home day care to take advantage of the tax deductions, earn extra income ... and provide playmates for our kids. We are helping the community by providing affordable care for children six weeks and up, and we are earning a nice second income."
Potential pay: Bujkovsky says she makes more than $2,500 a month through her home day-care gig.
Futures trader
Details: A recent survey conducted by TopStepTrader, an international scouting agency that recruits and trains futures traders, found that more than half of the workers surveyed conduct futures trading as a second job. "With the markets open 23-24 hours a day, there is a lot of flexibility and profitability in this career as a second alternative job," says Michael Patak, president and CEO of TopStepTrader.
Potential pay: According to TopStepTrader, part-time traders who trade lightly can earn an estimated $2,000 a month, while active part-time traders can average up to around $4,000 a month.
Container/organization sales consultant
Details: If you're outgoing and like organization, consider being a sales consultant for a container company. In this role, you'll help plan or host fun parties -- often held at people's homes -- where guests will have the opportunity to try out and buy your products. Some companies now offer e-commerce options, too.
Potential pay: Earning potential can vary based on company and role. Lee Padgett of Clever Container says their starting consultants make 20 percent on their retail sales, and after they reach $1,000 worth of product sales, they make 25 percent on their retail sales.
Mystery shopper
Details: Bethany Mooradian, author of "The Mystery Shopper Training Program," suggests mystery shopping as a great way to earn extra cash. "To be a successful mystery shopper, a person needs to be reliable [and] honest, have basic Internet skills, decent writing, spelling and observation skills and live in a fairly metropolitan area," Mooradian says. "Any time I've needed money, I just jump right back into mystery shopping ... It's perfect for anyone who wants a flexible way of earning extra income, has basic skills and doesn't want to stay trapped behind a desk."
Potential pay: Mystery shoppers can make up to $38,520 in annual salary, according to CBSalary.com.

Question & Answer: Highly Capable Program
QUESTION: Could you talk a bit about how you see NKSD adjusting to the newly revised Highly Capable WACs and how you envision the district servicing its gifted community? — Deborah Simon
ANSWER: I reviewed a summary of the new WAC's prepared by Gayle Pauley, OSPI, Direction of Title 1/LAP & CPR. (See link.) This describes that districts will be able to use categorical and basic education funds to provide access to accelerated learning and enhanced instruction for its highly capable students. I also know that highly capable programs are part of the state's definition of basic education, which means that it is the responsibility of NK and all Washington School Districts to provide highly capable programs. The administrative rules prescribe a board-approved annual plan and an annual report. As board member, I will provide a thorough review and ensure that the program meets the needs of our students. I look forward to learning more about NK's current program.
I have experience with the Highly Capable program at NK from 1999 to 2007 — because my daughter was a participant. In 2000, I sat on the interview committee, at request of Suquamish Principal, Joe Davalos, as a parent representative and we hired Mrs. Ellie Wrigley into the program. I'll also participated in a committee to explore changes to the program later on. Changes we researched included revised identification methods, exploring differentiation in the regular classrooms and eliminating the self-contained classroom in first grade.

Soap bars come in different shapes and sizes. These shapes include: rectangular, square, round, oval, cube, pyramid and so on. Soap sizes include: a family-size, (6-8 oz.); hand/face-size, (3-5.5 oz.); guest/hospitality/gift/trial-pack size, (1-2 oz.).
The shapes and sizes are also expressed in inches or centimeters. A soap bar measuring three by two by one-inch contains 3 ounces or 90 grams of soap. Letting us know the dimensions of your soap is important.
In today's rapidly growing soap market, branding your soap will give your product that different and unique presence. And branding is not adding your name to outside packaging. Branding is placing your name or logo directly in your soap bar.
Multi-national Corporations have spent millions of dollars branding their products to distinguish themselves from their competition. Branding should be part of your successful marketing and selling strategy.
When making silicone rubber molds, some soap shapes are more economical to produce than others. The square and rectangular shapes take less silicone rubber to form than the round and oval shapes. The cost of producing your molds is based on the number of pounds of silicone that is used.
Silicone rubber molds begin with a 12-cavitity mold which makes 12 branded soap bars. Our experience shows it becomes easier to work with two 12-cavitity molds to make 24 soap bars. Silicone rubber molds to make hospitality and trial soap sizes contain 24 cavities which produces 24 soap bars. Increasing your production to double or triple levels is also easier.
Using silicone rubber molds free up your time. Once the molds are filled, you can go on with other tasks. De-molding is not a problem as each soap bar will release effortlessly. We suggest to place a tray over the top of the mold and flip the mold upside down. Lifting up the mold will release each new soap and leave it on the tray.
