It's Friday and you know what that means: time to hang out with the Five Minute Friday crowd and write bravely for five minutes on a one word prompt. If you'd like to join this raucous crowd, you can find the prompt and link up at http://www.lisajobaker.com. We're nice, I promise!
We're moving. I'm sure you're sick of hearing about it, but there it is. Today we signed our financial lives away on a mortgage for a home in our new city. I don't want to leave the home and city down South where I've become comfortable, I really don't. And yet, I'm going to do just that in a few short months, for some very good reasons.
But one of the many, many gifts God has given His children is the ability to choose. I can choose how to view this move: as a adventure, or as a punishment of sorts for some imagined failure. I get to decide that for myself, nobody else.
I can choose to sit around in my new-to-me home in my new-to-me city and mope about having no friends, if that's my cup of tea. But frankly I'd rather find someone to share a cup of tea (better yet, coffee), so I'll be out there striking up conversations with any people I see that look like they might welcome that sort of friendly intrusion. I can choose to sit on the sidelines or get out on the field.
That's true about life too. We can choose to sit out our lives on the sidelines, creating excuse after excuse for why we want to stay safely out of the fray, or we can choose to be in the game, where things get messy and sometimes you get bruised or fall down. When I come to the end of my life I want to be able to say that I was all in, that I didn't hold back, that I might be battered and bruised but I left it all on the field.
(Not sure where those sports metaphors came from, but that's the mystery and wonder of Five Minute Friday. Sometimes in the writing stuff comes out that you weren't even aware was in you!)

General/All News
More than 130 other community-doers and rural advocates met at the Webster Conference Center near Salina recently for the 2011 We Kan! Conference. Organized by the Kansas Sampler Foundation, the one-day conference featured the launch of the PowerUp Movement and breakout sessions presented by Kansas rural experts.
In the opening session, Foundation director Marci Penner explained the need for engaging, empowering, and connecting young adults statewide as a way to help sustain rural communities. The term PowerUps refers to those who are 21-39 and are rural by choice. Penner introduced the PowerUp steering committee of Abby Amick, Alma; Jennifer Arnold, Clearwater; Ashley Bogle, Eureka; Erika Nelson, Lucas; Julie Roller, Wamego; and Liz Sosa, Garden City. Not in attendance were Christy Hopkins, Tribune; Sarah Werner, Winfield; and Kristy Rupe, Claflin.
Ashley Bogle then asked all PowerUps in the crowd to come forward and state their name, profession, and what their passion is. More than 25 rose from the audience and came on stage. Each one ended their statement with the phrase, "…and I'm rural by choice."
Breakout sessions featured topics about social networking, Constant Contact, incubator kitchens, high tunnels, retail options, promoting your area, community murals, putting fun into festivals, RVers, talking to PowerUps, and getting involved in the Rural Kansas: Come and Get It program.
Attendees came from Goodland to Leavenworth and Liberal to Erie. Among those joining the community-doers were bankers, architects, small business development practitioners, editors, school superintendents, independent telephone company representatives, and three women from Maine.

As the throngs celebrated in
While millions of ordinary Americans are struggling with unemployment and declining standards of living, the levers of real power have been all but completely commandeered by the financial and corporate elite. It doesn't really matter what ordinary people want. The wealthy call the tune, and the politicians dance.
So what we get in this democracy of ours are astounding and increasingly obscene
The poor, who are suffering from an all-out depression, are never heard from. In terms of their clout, they might as well not exist. The Obama forces reportedly want to raise a billion dollars or more for the president's re-election bid. Politicians in search of that kind of cash won't be talking much about the wants and needs of the poor. They'll be genuflecting before the very rich.
In an Op-Ed article in The Times at the end of January, Senator
The corporate and financial elites threw astounding sums of money into campaign contributions and high-priced lobbyists and think tanks and media buys and anything else they could think of. They wined and dined powerful leaders of both parties. They flew them on private jets and wooed them with
As Jacob Hacker and Paul Pierson wrote in their book, "Winner-Take-All Politics": "Step by step and debate by debate, America's public officials have rewritten the rules of American politics and the American economy in ways that have benefited the few at the expense of the many."
As if the corporate stranglehold on American democracy were not tight enough, the
When the game is rigged in your favor, you win. So despite the worst economic downturn since the Depression, the big corporations are sitting on mountains of cash, the stock markets are up and all is well among the plutocrats. The endlessly egregious Koch brothers, David and Charles, are worth an estimated $35 billion. Yet they seem to feel as though society has treated them unfairly.
As Jane Mayer pointed out in her celebrated New Yorker article, "The Kochs are longtime libertarians who believe in drastically lower personal and corporate taxes, minimal social services for the needy, and much less oversight of industry — especially environmental regulation." (A good hard look at their air-pollution record would make you sick.)
It's a perversion of democracy, indeed, when individuals like the Kochs have so much clout while the many millions of ordinary Americans have so little. What the Kochs want is coming to pass. Extend the tax cuts for the rich? No problem. Cut services to the poor, the sick, the young and the disabled? Check. Can we get you anything else, gentlemen?
The Egyptians want to establish a viable democracy, and that's a long, hard road. Americans are in the mind-bogglingly self-destructive process of letting a real democracy slip away.

The Housemates
All Stars
Austin Armacost - An American model, Austin came second in the summer series of 2015 after sharing a memorable bromance with winner James Hill. Intelligent, humorous and entertaining, he is among the favourites, but will have to control his fiery personality to emerge as the victor - Odds 10/1
Calum Best - Son of George Best, Calum is a reality TV show veteran who generally comes across as kind and charming. He is an early favourite with bookies, but how popular can he really be if he finished behind Katie Price and Katie Hopkins in Celebrity Big Brother 15, and will it cramp his style to have to share the house with mum Angie? - Odds 9/2
James Jordan - A former Strictly Come Dancing professional and self-proclaimed 'Brad Pitt of Dance', Jordan came third in Celebrity Big Brother 14. He will not want to play second fiddle to anyone and could rub some of his housemates up the wrong way, but if he can speak his mind without getting too aggressive, he could still go a long way - Odds 20/1
Nicola McLean - A glamour model who has previously appeared in both I'm a Celebrity and Celebrity Big Brother without coming close to winning, McLean's only chance could be if she has mellowed in her mid 30s. - Odds 80/1
Coleen Nolan - Former singer and Loose Woman Nolan finished as runner-up to Julian Clary in Celebrity Big Brother 10 and has vowed to stand up for herself this year after being given a tough time by Coronation Street battle-axe Julie Goodyear on her last visit to the house. Odds 16/1
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag - Otherwise known as Speidi, Spencer and Heidi are a couple who found fame on MTV show The Hills and then set sparks flying in Celebrity Big Brother 11 when they alienated themselves from the rest of the house by refusing to do most of the tasks. They still came second to Rylan Clark-Neal, but lightning can't strike twice and surely they'll be out sooner this time - Odds 4/1
Jasmine Waltz - An American model and actress who became embroiled in an ugly love triangle with Blue's Lee Ryan and Casey Batchelor and was then second to be evicted. She is rated least likely to win by the bookmakers and even odds of 50/1 are unlikely to tempt many punters to back a woman whose behaviour is just slightly shallow - Odds 66/1
Jedward - Given the honour of entering the house a couple of days later than the rest, X Factor twins John and Edward managed to mess up their big arrival when one of them slipped off the stage and had to go to hospital for a check-up. They first appeared in Celebrity Big Brother 8, somehow finishing third, and bookmakers are tipping them as possible winners - Odds 3/1
New Stars
Angie Best - George Best's first wife, Angie is a model who kept her participation in the show a secret from son Calum. The dynamics of their relationship are sure to intrigue viewers early on, but will she be overshadowed by some of the louder personalities in the long run? Odds 20/1
Brandon Block - A DJ who famously invaded the stage whilst drunk at the 2000 Brit Awards. He came across as a bit of an oddball on the launch show and may lack broad appeal, but if Bez and Gary Busey can land the title then maybe he can't be discounted - Odds 33/1
James Cosmo - A Scottish actor who has appeared in Braveheart and Game of Thrones, Cosmo is a familiar face if not a big name. He may just be a bit too nice and normal to stand out in a mad house. Odds 16/1
Bianca Gascoigne - The daughter of footballer Paul Gascoigne and a glamour model, Bianca Gascoigne won Love Island back in 2006 and made a positive impression on launch night, so she could be a dark horse - Odds 22/1
Jamie O'Hara - If there is anything that can prepare a housemate for the tantrums of overpaid prima donnas, it may be playing football for a living, and former Tottenham midfielder O'Hara was keen to play down the pressure of being in Big Brother on launch night - Odds 12/1
Ray J - An American singer and TV personality who seems especially proud of one particular home movie he made with Kim Kardashian, Ray J entered the house sporting a Union Jack-themed suit. Opinion may be split over whether he is charismatic or idiotic - Odds 12/1
Stacy Francis - An American singer and actress who was 'edited out' of the show by the All Stars in a cruel twist on launch night, meaning she must wear a beige tracksuit and stay away from key events such as meetings and tasks. The prospect of not getting much air time is just about as horrifying as it gets for a celebrity, and she looked as if her world had caved in when she was told she had been edited out - Odds 40/1
Sports.net's View
Recent history suggests that the bigger personalities usually land the Celebrity Big Brother crown, and in a cast of extreme characters the title is there for the taking. It is hard to pinpoint who might win, given some of the loathsome previous champions, but Calum Best is understandably among the favourites as a warm and funny character. Austin Armacost offers even better value at 10/1, though, and should have learnt the lessons of his last appearance in 2015, when he let himself down with a couple of unsavoury outbursts but still came second on the strength of his generally good-natured manner.
- Sports.net's top tip: Austin Armacost to win Celebrity Big Brother - 10/1
*Please note, odds may fluctuate.

The purpose of this blog is to challenge Christians to rethink their understanding of the gospel. It is my conviction that the gospel we have received from the pulpit and put our hope in is not a pure and true reflection of what we have taught to us in the scriptures.
Over and over again Paul defends his gospel based on two sources. They are the Law of Moses and the Prophets. He never once makes any reference to any rough draft of a New Testament in his writings. More importantly, he never ever makes mention of any special revelation that he supposedly received at Mt. Sinai. Even in the last chapter of the book of Acts Paul's gospel is still exclusively preached from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
Christianity has a tendency to justify its doctrine based upon the theologians, thinking they are understanding Paul's revelation from Mt. Sinai. The fruit of this creates such huge divisions as Armenian thought verses Calvinism or Reform Theology, which boils down to such issues of once saved always saved, or did Jesus die for everyone, or does man have free will.
The Gospel According to the Gospel comes from the perspective that the revelation that Paul received was not as some envision it. Paul did not set at Jesus' feet in Arabia and get a whole new gospel. What Paul got was a new look at the same old "boring" text of the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
There is a huge difference between the frame work of these two understandings. One leads to look for so called "new and original" thoughts never expressed before in scripture through the writings of the New Testament. Secondly, it tends to consider obsolete existing ideas found in the Law of Moses and the Prophets which was the only text of Paul's gospel.
The Gospel According to the Gospel looks to find the testimony of Paul matching what was written in the boring text of the Law of Moses and the Prophets. Which is exactly what we see Paul preaching from in the last part of the last chapter of Acts.
Act 28:23-24 KJV And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. (24) And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
Many believers assume that when Paul mentions that he is not ashamed of the gospel…
Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
…they assume he is speaking about this new gospel completely apart from the Old Testament. We assume the Old Testament is now regulated to history, prophecy and the wrath of God until grace should come in Christ. This couldn't be further from the truth.
Paul wrote the book of Romans long before he eventually made it there in chains. The gospel he was not ashamed of was not any new revelation or teaching apart from what he had as Saul of Tarsus. He was not ashamed of the gospel of the Law of Moses and the Prophets. This is how he can say a righteousness from God apart from the Law has been revealed.
Now some of you may think that I just contradicted myself. I have been saying that Paul's gospel was not a new revelation but a clearer understanding of what was written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets. But I just quoted Paul who testifies that a righteousness apart from the Law has been revealed.
This is exactly the place where Christianity starts to go down the wrong road. They hear Paul but they do not listen to Paul. Here is what Paul says.
Rom 3:20-22 KJV Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. (21) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; (22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
It is not as the theologians assume. Just because no flesh will be justified through the Law doesn't mean that we are to draw out of the New Testament some before unknown doctrine that is not witness to by the Law of Moses and the Prophets. Instead when we read the New Testament we are to look for the witness that Paul would have written down that matches what he states. That is, we have this new and better hope through Christ that we are saved apart from obeying the Law and the witness to this new hope is the gospel preached in the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
The New Testament is the testimony of the gospel found in the Law of Moses and the Prophets. It is not some new doctrine witnessed to by this supposed special revelation that we think we get to extract through textual criticism and study of the Greek. It is as simple as the mystery in the Law of Moses and the Prophets not revealed before , but now is revealed in the teachings of the Apostles. The New Testament is the mystery of this gospel found in the Law of Moses and the Prophets spelled out for us.
Rom 16:25-26 KJV Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, (26) But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
This is why it is worth your time to study the gospel that has been presented here on this blog. If you do, you will discover many difficult passages make complete sense now. As you learn the New Testament from the perspective it was written and reject what the church has done to it, the gospel will open up to you in ways you could never imagine. You will then be able to make better sense of the Christian life.

Many years ago I found myself sitting in first class right next to a famous actor. To be honest, at first I was tempted to give him the usual bull about how I admired his work, ask him for his autograph and have my photograph taken with him using my old Polaroid.
But you know, I figured people like that must be incredibly sick of being treated like zoo animals. So I decided to be cool, and ignored him for the whole flight. And I suppose my attitude and my size served as a barrier for the other passengers, who decided they had better not risk going over me to to get to him. I think we were flying from Chicago to New York, or something like that, and that was one of the quietest flights I ever had.
Anyway, when we got off the plane and we were on the gangway on the way to the terminal he turned around, grinned, and said "Thank you", I grinned back and answered "You are welcome", and that was the last time I saw him.
Famous actor with famous actress
When I tell people the characters I met in my life by accident they think I´m full of shit. But this is for real: I met Fidel Castro when I was about seven years old. I was introduced to the guy, we shook hands, he asked me about my grades, and he turned around after I said two words. The thing that impressed me the most about Fidel was his cigar and how bad it smelled.
Famous dictator with stinky cigar
So I´ve spent years wondering what would have happened if I had put a poisoned thumb tack in the palm of my hand...hell, I could have been a national hero, with my own statue right there next to Jose Marti´s and everything.

Pond Lights
LEDs and Halogen lighting are pretty much your choices in pond Lighting. Each has their own advantages, LEDs are usually more expensive but use less energy whereas Halogen lighting is generally less costly but they are a little more energy demanding. I cannot stress enough that you buy underwater or landscape lighting from trusted manufacturers such as Alpine, Atlantic, Aquascape and Pondmax. I recommend these because they are very good companies and they design their lights to last. Click on one of the links below to get started.

This Vert.x component provides interfaces for authentication and authorisation that can be used from your Vert.x applications and can be backed by different providers.
Vert.x auth is also used by vertx-web to handle its authentication and authorisation.
To use this project, add the following dependency to the dependencies section of your
shared import io.vertx.ceylon.auth.common "3.3.2";
Authentication means verifying the identity of a user.
Authorisation means verifying a user has an authority.
What the authority means is determined by the particular implementation and we don't mandate any particular model, e.g. a permissions/roles model, to keep things very flexible.
For some implementations an authority might represent a permission, for example the authority to access all printers,
or a specific printer. Other implementations must support roles too, and will often represent this by prefixing
the authority with something like
role:, e.g.
role:admin. Another implementation might have a completely
different model of representing authorities.
To find out what a particular auth provider expects, consult the documentation for that auth provider..
To authenticate a user you use
The first argument is a JSON object which contains authentication information. What this actually contains depends on the specific implementation; for a simple username/password based authentication it might contain something like:
{ "username": "tim" "password": "mypassword" }
For an implementation based on JWT token or OAuth bearer tokens it might contain the token information.
Authentication occurs asynchronously and the result is passed to the user on the result handler that was provided in
the call. The async result contains an instance of
User which represents the authenticated
user and contains operations which allow the user to be authorised.
Here's an example of authenticating a user using a simple username/password implementation:
value authInfo = JsonObject {
username = "tim";
password = "mypassword";
authProvider.authenticate(authInfo, (User|Throwable res) {
if (is User res) {
value user = res;
print("User ``user.principal()`` is now authenticated");
} else {
Once you have an
User instance you can call methods on it to authorise it.
to check if a user has a specific authority you use
The results of all the above are provided asynchronously in the handler.
Here's an example of authorising a user:
user.isAuthorised("printers:printer1234", (Boolean|Throwable res) {
if (is Boolean res) {
value hasAuthority = res;
if (hasAuthority) {
print("User has the authority");
} else {
print("User does not have the authority");
} else {
And another example of authorising in a roles based model which uses
role: as a prefix.
Please note, as discussed above how the authority string is interpreted is completely determined by the underlying implementation and Vert.x makes no assumptions here.
The user object will cache any authorities so subsequently calls to check if it has the same authorities will result in the underlying provider being called.
In order to clear the internal cache you can use
You can get the Principal corresponding to the authenticated user with
What this returns depends on the underlying implementation.
If you wish to create your own auth provider you should implement the
AuthProvider interface.
We provide an abstract implementation of user called
AbstractUser which you can subclass
to make your user implementation. This contains the caching logic so you don't have to implement that yourself.
If you wish your user objects to be clusterable you should make sure they implement

Using Data to Adjust Course
Know what actions to take next with data-driven social metrics
Join the 100,000+ social media professionals using Hootsuite Academy
- Track your progress
- Access community discussions
- Test yourself
Video Transcript
Once you've gathered the data on your key performance indicators, it's time to adjust course by either optimizing your strategy or pursuing a different direction. You can think of this process in three parts - gathering the data, analyzing it, and taking action based on the insights the data provides.
What story does the data you've pulled tell you? Say you've set a goal to increase traffic to your website from your social properties. Using Google Analytics, you can see that referral traffic has increased by 10 percent from one social network, but only by 3 percent from another. Examine the social posts that were successful in leading visitors to your website and think about how you can adapt them to other social networks to generate similar results. Take a look at the posts that didn't perform successfully. Maybe that type of content didn't resonate with your community on that network - can it be better targeted? Can it be posted at a different time?
While analyzing the numbers is important, what's especially critical is taking action. Once a certain strategy proves itself to be less than stellar and you've taken the time to optimize it, there's nothing wrong with switching direction and trying something new. Monitoring the response from your community is also important - often your followers will be vocal about what kind of activity and content they appreciate, and what they don't, so keep your ear to the ground by listening to their feedback.
Benchmark yourself against your competition as well. Is their following growing at a significantly faster rate? Is their content drawing a large amount of positive feedback? What are they doing that's working well and can you adapt some ideas to your social strategy? Seasonality will play a role in your data so be sure to check back on your historical results as well as those of your competition.
Lastly, it's important to review and adjust your overall social media strategy as your company grows and your organizational goals change. Say you're a small healthy grocer and you want to expand your business to include catering. Your social media resources and objectives will need to adapt and shift to support this new business course. Checking in with other departments and business units on a regular basis will ensure that your social media strategy is well aligned with your brand and finely tuned to your unique business needs.

Here's the story: I had rescued a particularly hideous greenish mustard piece of cardstock from the floor, so it was sitting on my cutting mat. I was paging through DCWV's "Sweet" matstack looking for something to think pink with, because hey, right now that's enter-able into about a dozen challenges without even stretching. (Look, they don't always have to be challenging.) And then there was this floral pattern incorporating pink and an almost mustard-y yellow. It kinda looked like it would go with that ugly cardstock.
I determined to force the issue. Almost-coordinating papers don't give you the opportunity to use up something ugly every day, after all.
I also wanted to use some of my new fruits and sweets stamps. And it hit me that, hey, pears are a yellowy-greenish color!
There was also a light blue on the floral print, giving me the opportunity to use some fairly dull and uninspiring light grey-blue cardstock as well... and to make a pair of pear bookmarks.
I promise that's the only play on words I'm deliberately committing here. And I totally would have stamped a bunch of grapes for the blueish bookmark if I'd had such a stamp, just to avoid the pun. 'Cause I like clever puns, but this one is not clever.
Also, that blue pear kinda weirds me out.
I stamped everything in pink (and clear embossed), edged with pink, and used a little of my new pink polka-dot washi tape in an effort to play up the pinkness for all those Breast Cancer Awareness / Think Pink competitions.
To be fair to the grey-blue cardstock, it's not entirely uninspiring. However, the only thing it suggests to me is rainy days, and I own no cloud, raindrop, or umbrella stamps. So.
I'm entering this
pear pair of bookmarks into the following challenges:
- Link Up For Pink
- Our Craft Lounge 137: Go PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness
- Art Impressions 83: PINK! for Breast Cancer Awareness
- Dream Valley Challenge 42: Go Pink

- Ladybug Crafts Ink: Flowers and Embossing (flowers on my patterned paper, and all the stamping is heat embossed in clear)
- Stampin' for the Weekend 18: Feeling Floral (flowers on patterned paper)
- Joanna Sheen: Down in the Garden (more like down in the pear orchard, yeah? But that's a kind of garden.)
- Crafty Bloggers Network #4: Anything Goes

Like us, many of you have probably come to learn that France has no shortage of talented young indie-rock groups. While they certainly don't live-up to the hype of the powerhouses found in Canada or the US, they very rarely fail to impress us.
Côme, a new Parisian band made up of Lucas Barbier and Francois Byrski, are following in the path of their predecessors, and have yet to disappoint us. Since listening to their most recent EP, Côme Duo Rock, we have been head-over-heels with the band's crunchy garage-rock aesthetic and uniquely wavering vocals — something we can't quite pinpoint the source of, yet.
Naturally, when we got word that the band would be stopping by Malta to play Rock the South 2nd Edition Music Festival, we knew we had to sit-down and chat with the boys. Before their arrival, we took the time to ask them a few questions regarding their formation, influences and their current listening habits.
Indie Current: Who are Côme?
C: Côme is made up of the friendship between two guys: Lucas Barbier and Francois Byrski. Including several interesting artists which gravitate around us like Arthur Xavier-Rolay (Video, Art), and Seb (Bass and Guitar).
IC: When did you guys start to play as a band? How did it happen?
C: We were students when we first met, during the final year of our University studies. But we really started as a band two years later when Francois came to Paris. At the beginning we just wanted to strike a balance between Francois' pop and folk influences (The Smashing Pumpkins, Elliott Smith, Beck, Foo Fighters) and Lucas' noisy ones
(Sonic Youth, Slint, Sebadoh), but ended up forming what is now Côme.
IC: What kind of music do you play?
C: We like to say that we're just playing rock music, but we must admit that, year-after-year it has become more than that. I guess we're playing a kind of rock music with a lot of colors, energy, and rhythm. We make every song with the same recipe: we only do what we want to do!
IC: Who are the influences behind your music? What are artists, genres, bands do you site your style of music to?
C: We both listen to a huge quantity of music and a variety of styles like noise-rock, classical and contemporary music. We have a real curiosity in music and started listening to more specific artists very early on — a time when most pre-teens aren't interested in music. Last night we saw Foals on stage, and even if we don't play exactly the same kind of rock, we completely understand their energy and style.
IC: With who have you played with and where?
C: Not very famous bands for you, I guess. Maybe you should know Stuck in the Sound?
IC: Is there any album or EP of yours that you would suggest we listen to, and do you have plans in the future to release anything else?
C: We have released several EPs since 2008 and we're proud to announce our first album, Hands Wrapped in White Paper Gloves. We spent a long time on it and we're so happy when we listen to it; Francois Ernie and Arno Bordas from Stuck in the Sound produced the album.
IC: With whom would like to colloborate in your music — any particular artist, band, DJ? And why would you choose that collaboration?
C: Hmm… no one really. We like a collaboration that starts with a real human link, and we're ready to work with not only musicians, but every artist who can bring something new or powerful to Côme.
IC: Who are your favourite bands or artists?
C: We have a lot of favorite bands, but above all we would have to choose: Foals, Pinback, Sonic Youth, Slint, and The Smashing Pumpkins — well, their first album that is.
IC: Who are you listening to at the moment?
C: We're listening to Alt-J, although their last gig in Paris was a bit disappointing.
Côme will be playing at the Rock the South 2nd Edition Music Festival, on the 5th and 6th of April, along with Italian rock band Aim, and local Maltese acts such as Cable 35, The Shh, Dolls for Idols, 3 Stops to China, No Snow/No Alps, and many more.

There is something so authentic and beautiful about a wedding day that is purely focused on a couple in love in a beautiful setting. Alex and Dan's love for one another just radiated on their wedding day in Rocky Mountain National Park. They committed their lives to one another surrounded by the beautiful Rockies and we spent the afternoon driving around the park to Mountain Top Elopement Gabrielle Schmidt 02/07/2018

Randal Olson (who also made this graph highlighting hollywood's bloodiest movies) recently posted this chart tracking the most popular YouTube videos ever uploaded:
For every office drone and high school student that's used YouTube as their own personal radio this comes as no surprise. A number one global hit song will be replayed dozens of times by a single person. Plus you can see just how DOMINANT Psy's "Gangnam Style" has remained after its initial rise. This is like if Weird Al's "Amish Paradise" outsold The Beatles' and The Rolling Stones' entire discography.
But when you think of traditional "YouTube Videos" you don't really want to count the VEVO-sphere. We want to know about the candid moments, the epic fails and comedy sketches that have made viral history: That's why Daniel Hadley posted an adjusted chart:
Now here's where things get weird. If you're reading this now, I'm going to safely assume that you have been an active (ugh) "Web Surfer" for a good part of your life. You've seen scientific explosions and acapella champions and epic trailer remixes, but all of that is DWARFED by...
A russian-language children's cartoon that is so popular, I'm amazed nobody has decided to bring it overseas. If "Pokemon" could be a hit in America, then "dead-eyed CGI girl and eyebrow bear" is a no-brainer.
The video "thigh massage video" has garnered 270 million hits solely on the implied sketchiness of this thumbnail:
And here is what weirdos have been actually clicking on for the past 7 years:
The other truly surprise hits were the egg videos. There's thousands of these things out there and it's always just a dude's hands opening plastic eggs and inspecting the toys inside. Sometimes they're chocolate Kinder eggs, sometimes they're covered in play-doh, but they're always opened onscreen. I guess it's a universal experience, the cheap thrill of opening a plastic toy capsule and seeing what's inside. Like the forces of toy collectors, nostalgia and ASMR have combined to create a unique and undefeatable hybrid.
There you have it, some of the most popular pieces of content ever created and none of them were "Too Many Cooks".

Congratulations to Milton High School swimmer Katie Grover from Milton, GA – GTM Sportswear's Athlete of the Month for January 2013.
Each month, six finalists are selected by the National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA) and GTM Sportswear for strong athletic and academic performance. The finalists are presented via ballot to a group of high school sports writers, high school coaches, NHSCA staff and GTM Sportswear representatives to choose a winner.
"Winning a national award is a great honor for me," said Grover. "Being recognized for my achievements in the pool by people outside of Georgia only makes it more meaningful."
Grover ranked fourth nationally in the 100-meter butterfly, sixth nationally in the 100-meter backstroke and took first in the 100-meter freestyle in the state of Georgia for 2012. She maintains a 3.9 cumulative grade point average (GPA) and plans to swim in college.
"If it is possible for me, I would like to continue [swimming] after college as a professional," said Grover. "I can't picture my life without swimming"

News 08:12 December 2019:
All our services are working fast and instantly. Feel free to try us out , we even have a the free trial.
Twitter enjoys a large following of about 30 million people worldwide making it a popular social site in the digital market. Having a twitter account is a sure way to penetrate to the new market when it comes to selling a company's sales and services. The issue comes when one wonders on how to make their accounts stand out and be seen considering the high number of users mentioned above. As a result, there are companies that have come up with services that make a person of company's account stand out of the rest ion the social pages. An automatic retweet is one such service. This refers to a service that enables the content, post or link shared to be automatically retweeted successfully so that it can reach to many users online.
There are numerous advantages associated with the use of such a service as outlined below.
- Popularity gaining
With such a service, one's tweet stands out compared to the competitors. When retweeting happens, the account looks popular and stands out from the competition. These content and tweets will attract more people to read them thanks to their popularity. This will help in marketing and increase the company's sales at the end of the day.
- Increased audience visibility
With the already gained popularity mentioned above, the tweets which will be well-researched content and company information will have high visibility to the already existing consumers and future customers. These old clients will be reminded of the services and goods once bought while the new ones will be informed of the company's products. This will increase its sales and attract new clients to the company.
- An increase in online engagement.
It's human nature to be associated with anything famous and popular; we tend to copy what our fellow people are doing. When a tweet had been retweeted and had gained its popularity, other account users will follow re tweet so that they can be associated with a famous tweet and as mentioned above their followers will do the same and make the content go viral. At the end of the day, many people will have gotten to the content that was originally shared. This might be new or old clients who will help a company to successfully sell its goods and services.
- High credibility for the company
With the increased clicks, retweeting and sharing online of a brand's content, link or post, the brand will gain more credibility and attract high interest to the public. People are likely to engage a famous company and buy their products for there is an element of trust gained compared to the unknown not famous company. When this happens, it's only natural for the company's goods and services to gain the market among its consumers. This will be a sure way of increased sales and profit gains in an organization.
The positive impact of these automatic retweets in a company's visibility on the digital market can not be ruled out. This service should be acknowledged and be employed by a firm that wants to penetrate the modern market.

Arty Girlz Challenge ~ Butterflies
Better late than never, here is my submission for the Arty Girlz Challenge this week. I had the idea from the moment I saw the topic...finding the time to create was another story. While working on this collage all I could think of was my youngest son and his affection for caterpillars, Monarchs in particular. As much as he loves to raise them and watch the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly, he is always so sad to say goodbye to his caterpillars. Sometimes change is hard to accept in any form.
This collage is available in my Etsy shop.

A New Favorite
I have completed a collage on what is sure to become my new favorite substrate. The 6 x 6 x 1.5" premier gallery profile canvas...I love it. I don't know if it's the size or the chunky feel to it, but I do know that I will be ordering more!
The first of many collages on this type of canvas is entitled, "create." and is available in my my Etsy shop.

Victorian Bushfire Appeal
I am proud to take part, along with many other artists, in the fund raising efforts for relief for the Australian Fire Victims. Metsy team member Stacey Merrill coordinated the efforts of many Metsy artists to create houses to sell on Etsy for the cause. My donation is pictured here and, for me, represents that heart and home are ONE.
For a wonderful assortment of creative works (and free shipping) please visit the Etsy shop for Fire Relief. Purchasing handcrafted works of art and helping in a worthwhile cause...it's a win-win situation.

A Restless Muse
Did you ever have an idea for a creative project that continually ran through your mind? That is what happened to me with the above collage. I had the idea, however no time to create. The idea nagged and nagged at me until finally I found the time to spend in my studio and calm my restless muse.
The collage entitled, "Love Under the Stars," is available in my my Esty shop.

If you are interested in something other than my Mixed Media/Collage Backgrounds Workshop, there are two great classes offered by Pam Carriker in March and April, as well as a class in digital collage by Gail Schmidt.

Illustration Friday ~ Time
How fitting that the Illustration Friday prompt is something that I covet so deeply, it appears in my new art journal. Yes, that elusive thing called TIME. I just never have enough hours in the day to accomplish all I would like to get done. Time, or the lack thereof, makes a few appearances in my journal...amazing that I had any TIME to get that journaling done. If not for the wonderful class by Pam Carriker over at Creative Workshops, I never would have taken the TIME to indulge in this joy known as art journaling. Yes, it is very important that in the midst of our busy lives we make TIME for ourselves and the activities that we enjoy.

Journal Pages
With a sick child to care for this week, it was awfully nice to have some "portable artwork," in the form of my journal, to work on. On some of the pages I wrote favorite quotes; on other pages I just wrote random thoughts, phrases or words. Being new to art journaling it is a bit difficult to come up with "something to say," but it is all a learning process...and one that I am enjoying immensely. Thank you, Pam.

In 9 days my nuggets will be 1?! How is that even possible? The last year has been one of the most challenging and most rewarding of my life. Every day I look at these precious little humans and wonder how they could possibly be mine. How can I possibly deserve to be their momma? How can I be the momma they deserve.
Everyday they are more interactive and fun. At times I miss the newborn tininess, but watching them learn and do new things is so much better.
Harper is in PT for developmental delays. Her therapist has diagnosed her with low muscle tone-so we are working on building her strength and helping to get her to where she needs to be. The worry wart in me is concerned that there is more going on than just a muscle tone issue-but we will just have to wait and see-its too early to tell.
Next weekend is their birthday party – I'm trying to strike a balance between doing it up and having it be special and remembering that they are 1 – and have no clue what is going on!

Reviews of Southern Sun Dar
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Southern Sun Dar review
Needed for our flight times but rather modest hotel! It's a pity there isn't something near the airport!Read more about the whole trip
Southern Sun Dar review
Some difficulty with on-line check-in, locating where and how to do it in the hotel.
Eventually we went to Kearsley's office on the mezzanine level (not the hotel desk who looked at us blankly).
Ta Dah! in Dar
I wasn't expecting much from the Southern Sun, I don't really know why though as it turned out to be a comfortable, well run hotel with some very nice touches and some of the best food we ate across the whole trip.
Rooms are nice, public areas comfortable, nice large terrace by the pool that served fantastic food at a reasonable price for a business hotel. Bottles of water given out at reception on arrival, plus a goody bag for the ladies (including some smellies and a kit kat). The gifts shop was well stocked if you have run out of time to shop and they will post a postcard for you at reception.
Overall and excellent overnight stop and should I visit Dar es Salaam again I wouldn't stay anywhere else
Mediocre stay at Southern Sun
We only used Sourhern Sun for overnight stay before early morning flight home. We ordered room service breakfast which failed to turn up. Room was ok but a little tired.
Evening meal in Resturant was good.
Southern Sun Dar review
Fine for a stopover. Food was good and the staff friendly.Read more about the whole trip
A very good hotel
I thought the Southern Sun was an excellent hotel, one of the best I've stayed in. Good service, large rooms and good food.
The only downside was the location, being quite distant from the aiport.
Southern Sun Dar review
Not much to report we were only there over night.Read more about the whole trip
A well-run business-oriented hotel
I stayed here for one night preparatory to returning to the U.S. after a 2-wk safari in the TZ game parks.
The hotel served that purpose very well, plus giving me a day to explore Dar. It is not a tourist hotel, with a much more business-oriented clientele, but that was fine. Good service, good food, opportunity to check email in the business center.
All the things one needs to do in preparation for returning home.
Southern Sun Dar review
Fine for a night's stay although I had to chase them to get the time for my airport transfer in the morning, and then when I went down in the morning no one seemed to have any knowledge of my transfer being pre-paid.
When I produced a voucher someone from Kersey's took me but no one seemed to have a record of me.
Southern Sun (formerly the Holiday Inn) review
good for a turnaround night. Staff extremely reliable.
I left my camera - an old digital one - in the safe, last visit, and they found it for me, and I was able to get it back. Fabulous.

Yes we have crew available for filming only or we are able to offer post productions seervices for an hourly fee.
06.Corporate video pricing, how does it work?
We have a fixed fee for corporate video production which can be seen by clicking the link at the top of the page. The fee is fully inclusive of intro text and closing frame graphics, music using royalty free tracks and in the case of our 2 to 3 minute promo interviews with staff, customers or public. Our shorter 1 to 2 minute promo is aimed at the budget conscious business that wants to use the power of video to sell his/her product or service but wants minimum involvement and disruption in the workplace. Essentially we produce a first draft with both options and the client gets to give it the thumbs up or make one final round of changes in order to make it just the way you like. These are great options to get you started and both videos can be used on your website or mailed our to potential customers on CD or DVD. The only additional charges that may apply are for travel beyond 75 miles of Manchester city centre.
07.Do you have a more tailored option?
For something a little special our pricing starts at £1100, this may involve more complex graphics or animation or a longer production to allow your product or service to be fully demonstrated. Types of production that may require this kind of approach would be training or infomercial videos, documentary productions, CGI or graphics manipulation, voice over etc. At the early stages we would asses your needs and produce a comprehensive quote with an outline treatment highlighting our vision having taken on board your ideas. Following on from this we develop a shooting script and begin the production process.
08.Can you offer photography services?
Yes, we have a vast amount of experience photographing commercially and for the private sector. We also shoot live events which include competitions, shows, theatre and concerts. We use the latest technology and are able to proof and sell images online within hours of shooting.

For property or people we offer highly competitive rates and fast turnaround, just call or email for more details.
09.Are you a member of any trade associations?

10.Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are insured for public liability and professional indemnity.
11.Why use video to sell or inform?
Corporate video allows you to engage the client in a living and breathing environment like no other medium can. It will make your business stand out from the crowd and its extremely cheap when you consider how often you can use it and the longevity. Your video will go on gaining you business night and day and will sell to clients all over the world without you having to move a muscle.
Cedar House Productions offer a complete corporate video production service, from conception to delivery. We work with a wide range of customers with budgets large and small. Some know exactly what they want, others have only a vague idea but rest assured our experienced team will give you as much or as little guidance as you need, keeping you involved throughout the whole video production process.
12.We need a production that runs around 30 minutes, any problems?
A training or information video which has to provide lots of complex information may run up to 30 minutes. These types of videos are usually aimed at a small market, and the desired outcome in not to engage but rather inform, longer video are less likely to sell the benefits of a product or service and research has shown that the maximum time frame to reasonably hold someones attention is seven minutes.
Certainly for impact and to create desire less is more in terms of duration. A high impact short snappy video is more likely to create a sale or to encourage the audience to seek more information.
13.Do we need to prepare in any way for our video production?
As a production company we are used to working in most environments and its highly likely we will have produced something for your industry in the past. We ask you to prepare your premises for filming so it looks its best, we may require a support worker from your staff to show us around, other than that we will try to be as unobrusive as possible.
If interviews are involved in the production these should be filmed somewhere relatively quiet. Access to a power outlet is preferable with space to allow lighting and crew to move safely and comfortably.
As a formality we usually complete artist release forms to allow filming and subsequent use of the footage for your own purposes. Some businesses have these releases written into employee contracts in which case we would ask that filming notices are posted around areas where our crew will be filming.

Energy saving solutions
Did you know that as much as 20% of the total heat lost from your home is through your windows?
to conservatory roof blinds
Picking blinds for your conservatory roof is the perfect solution to the age-old problem of maintaining a comfortable temperature in a glass room all year round. No matter what style of space you have, our wide range of conservatory roof blinds will transform yours from a jumbled jigsaw into a beautiful, sleek design. Here are our top tips…
Shade yourself from the sun
If your conservatory is south-facing, you'll know just how hot it can get in the summer. Picking a conservatory roof blind that will help to combat this problem is key.
All of our Pleated blinds have a Sun Shade Factor (SSF) – the higher the factor, the more superior the protection it offers from the sun. Our Grenouble Taupe Pleated blind is a smart choice for a conservatory roof, receiving a high rating of eight on the SSF scale.
Our roof blinds are available with a classic wand or crank operating device. However, if you have high ceilings or will be operating them regularly, our MotoPleat™ motorised option really takes the hassle away. Pick from a fantastic range of our most popular options, including our Montoya Umber Pleated blind pictured here.
Contrast the look
In any area of life, a bit of contrast makes for a pretty display. It's the same with your blinds. You don't need to choose Pleated blinds to match the ones at your conservatory roof. Here, our Rosie Posie Ivory Roller blinds look simply stunning with pristine Grenouble Cream Pleated blinds.
Of course, Pleated blinds look beautiful wherever they are used, so we can't blame you if you want to continue the look. Different colours create visual contrast, as we've illustrated here with our Salerno Sand Pleated blind and Crush Charcoal Pleated blinds.
Perfect pleats every time
A Pleated blind needs to stay looking crisp for years to come. The TruPleat™ and MasterPleat™ technology encased within our Pleated blinds stops gravity from taking its toll, ensuring even spacing when open, and a neat and tidy finish when closed. So you can be sure of perfect pleats, even when you open and close them regularly.
Did you know that as much as 20% of the total heat lost from your home is through your windows?
When the weather turns colder, does your conservatory give you the chills?
Take a look at our easy-to-follow top tips and keep your roof blinds looking spick and span.

Pet Tails Rescue is proud to announce our new partnership with Run For Pets!
Run For Pets was founded by Jeff Harrington, who along with his wife Janine, are Pet Tails Rescue alumni. They welcomed Jackson (pictured below) with open arms and have been doing a wonderful job at giving Jackson the best forever home that any pup could ask for! Jeff was grateful that Pet Tails was able to bring Jackson into his life and was looking for a way to give back. He wanted to find a way to help raise awareness, collect donations, and increase adoptions for rescues by promoting from within the running community so RunForPets.com was born!
With help from close running friends Elizabeth & Roxanne (also a Pet Tails alum), Jeff has worked tirelessly in order to develop a fun name and logo which could be utilized to spread awareness of animal rescue in the community as well as at various races and events. He is also planning to add the new logo to running shirts and visors to use in group runs, at various races, as well as half and full marathons across the country. We would also like to wish Jeff well as he is currently training with all his friends at SIX03 Endurance for his first full marathon in Chicago in October! Jeff has said, "It's exciting and feels really good to give back, in our own little way, to help our little buddies find their forever homes." All of us at Pet Tails couldn't agree more and we thank him for reaching out to us and helping further our mission!
Please join us and our friends at Run For Pets and make a donation to Pet Tails Rescue today!

Collective Nouns
We have identified nouns as a person, place, thing or idea, analyzed the difference between proper and common nouns as well as those that are abstract and concrete, considered three types of compound, and how to make plural nouns. Now we turn to collective nouns and for this study, Mrs. Heller offers another beautiful book for inspiration. After reading the pages in Merry-Go-Round that address collective nouns, turn to A Cache of Jewels and read it in its entirety. This book goes into great detail about the many different collective nouns in our language. A batch of bread, a cluster of grapes, and a bevy of beauties are just three of the many lovely examples given in this beautifully illustrated book.
After reading, ask your child to make a collective noun page in his Main Lesson Book. Perhaps he will be able to come up with examples of collective nouns on his own. If not, A Cache of Jewels is full of wonderful examples.
On another day use your child's written narrations or writing assignments for analysis. Review previous grammatical concepts by asking her to highlight all concrete nouns in one color and challenge her to use a collective noun in each paragraph, highlighting them in a different color. We have found that the children's narrations from the books we are reading throughout the week work well for this grammar exercise. An older child who is independently writing his narrations will benefit from analyzing his work. If your child is only narrating orally, type her narration at the keyboard and print it out to analyze together. Here is an example of Peter's oral narration of Elsa Beskow's The Sun Egg. You can click on the image to enlarge it and you will find that Peter circled the nouns in blue (pronouns were not discussed at this point) and colored in proper nouns in purple.
On the last page of A Cache of Jewels, the author explains that one collective noun can describe many groups and offers the examples of a host of angels, a host of monks, a host of thoughts, etc... Ask your child to think of one collective noun that can describe many groups and make another page in her Main Lesson Book.
Mrs. Heller goes on to explain that one group can be described by more than one collective noun. She offers the examples of a gam of whales, a mob of whales, a pod of whales, etc... Ask your child to think of one group that can be described by many different collective nouns and add one last collective noun page to the Main Lesson Book.

Amazon.Com - Swot Analysis
Amazon opened for business in 1995 as "Earth's Biggest Bookstore." Being an online retail site, Amazon has "virtually unlimited shelf space." This is a strength of which Amazon takes full advantage. By means of this never-ending shelf space, there is an widespread variety of products available to Amazon's customers. This is an essential characteristic of an e-commerce business. Another essential aspect is a customer friendly and efficient search and retrieval system. Amazon has mastered this aspect of e-commerce also. Amazon is a very customer focused company with a strong corporate culture. "Amazon's motto for its employees is 'work hard, have fun, make history (Turner, 08)." Its new distribution depot is called a "fulfillment center" and not a warehouse. This is probably its greatest strength. The customer focus of Amazon saturates through the company and it can be seen in every aspect of its business. Amazon provides a wide selection of merchandise to meet customer demand, low prices, the convenience of shopping online, and it personalizes shopping for each particular customer by recommending other products based on prior purchases by each buyer. A most important example of this customer focus and convenience is the new service introduced by Amazon called TextBuyIt. This feature allows customers to find and purchase products from the Amazon website through text message. "With today's launch of TextBuyIt, any Amazon.com customer can now use any mobile device to shop and buy from Amazon.com at anytime, anywhere…send a text message to Amazon, reply to the response, confirm your order, and your item will be on its way," said Howard Gefen, director of Amazon Mobile Payments (Techweb, 08)."

Eight Forty-Eight
Alderman-elect Ameya Pawar discusses his transition to City Hall
One of the new faces on City Council this Spring will be Ameya Pawar. After incumbent Eugene Schulter dropped out of the race, Pawar defeated three other candidates to win February's election. It was a surprise upset in the 47th Ward and a history-making moment: Pawar will be the first Indian-American alderman on the council.
Alderman-elect Pawar spoke to Eight Forty-Eight to discuss what he's been doing to prepare for his freshman year at City Hall.

Here are five of our favorite meet and greet locations that AREN'T character meals:
At Disney's Animal Kingdom you can meet Mickey and Minnie at the Adventurers Outpost. This location was converted from a store to a dedicated meet and greet a few years ago, and it works so well. The space is themed to Mickey and Minnie's travels across the globe, with fun exploration photos featuring the two. Their safari outfits are, in my opinion, the best Mickey/Minnie outfits currently in use at WDW.
Over at Disney's Hollywood Studios we find the Starwars Launch Bay, which includes a meet and greet with Chewbacca and Kylo Ren of Starwars fame. The old animation building is now retrofitted and extensively themed to Starwars, including the space that the characters meet. I've never seen Kylo Ren break character, which is part of the fun. Just look at the terrified look on our faces! Meanwhile, the warm furry embrace of Chewbacca is always welcome.
Pete's Silly Sideshow at The Magic Kingdom is probably the most immersive meet and greet at WDW, and like its name implies is themed to a circus side show. Located within are two queues. In one you find Madame Daisy Fortuna (Daisy Duck as a fortune teller) and Minnie Magnifique (Minnie as a poodle trainer) and in the other queue The Great Goofini (daredevil Goofy) and the Astounding Donaldo (hypnotist Donald.) The set for each character is just as important as the characters (amazing) outfit in this case. Neither line ever commands much of a wait, so make sure this is on your list of must dos.
Heading over to Main Street USA, in the Town Square Theater is Mickey Mouse. Yes, we already visited Mickey at Animal Kingdom. However, this Mickey talks. It sounds gimicky, but it really is a hoot. Plus Mickey is a magician or something and has props...and the talking is awkward and awesome. Just go do it.
Finally at Epcot is a fantastic meet and greet with Baymax from Big Hero Six. The queue and set isn't all that spectacular honestly. But I've included this on my list because HUGGING BAYMAX IS A DREAM COME TRUE AND SHOULD BE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST IN LIFE. Plus, like all popular movies of the day, these meet and greets are on a constant rotation and you never know how long Baymax will be here.
I hope you enjoyed our look at five random meet and greets at Walt Disney World that we love. Besides all of the dedicated character meet and greets, you will also find characters in less permanent spaces, or just out in the open. Don't ignore these characters either. Make the most of your time on vacation, hug a princess, snuggle with Pluto, and cuddle with Marie the cat.

A reader asked me recently to share how I store my essential oils, so I thought I'd put together a post with some ideas on how I store them around my house. I have oils EVERYWHERE, nearly every room except the nursery has some bottles stashed away somewhere. Here are a few of the ways I display and store essential oils around my house.
This post contains affiliate links.
- Wooden Tiered Shelf. I found this six-tiered wooden display at Hobby Lobby and knew it was perfect for all my unopened Young Living inventory. This shelf contains all the essential oils and products that I have on hand and not in use. I sell to my friends and family from this stash and use it as needed for our family, as well. It's great for last-minute gift giving occasions. I can see at a glance what I need to restock if I'm running low on something we use often (I'm looking at you Inner Defense and Ningxia Red.) The glass cabinet beside it contains all my literature and also my big Silver in Six kit.
2. Small wooden tiered stand– This cool tiered stand was made by my friend's dad, but there are some similar ones on etsy and amazon. It is pre-drilled to hold the bottles perfectly.
3. Olive or Cracker Trays: I've had this pewter cracker holder in my china cabinet for years but it works great as an EO holder because it angles them perfectly to read the labels. This one is by Arthur Court but Mud Pie makes cute wooden olive trays that might work as well.
4. Decorative wooden or leather boxes are another way that I hide essential oils in plain site. If you are searching for a storage box keep in mind that 5 ml bottles (small) need at least 2 1/2″ in depth and 15 ml bottles (the big ones) need at least 3″ depth. If you have roller ball lids on them they might even need a hair extra.
5. Makeup/Train Cases: My husband bought this cute burlap train case at Target. He found it in the makeup section, and it has pull-out drawers that fit 5 ml bottles perfectly. The front snaps closed so the drawers stay shut. It's one of my favorite ways to store my oils because it's so cute.
6. Have you seen these galvanized divided organizers that spin like a lazy Susan? They are for sale on every farmhouse deal-a-day site imaginable and also places like Homegoods and Hobby Lobby. They are a good way to keep oils separated out for different uses. Or color. Or smell. However you wanna organize your oils is cool with me.
7. Wooden bowls and divided trays: If you don't mind your oils sitting out in plain site, these are a cute way to separate them out and read the labels all at the same time.
8. Thrift store finds: I found this small pewter holder with a matching mortar and pestle at the thrift store and knew it would be perfect for holding a few little oils on my desktop. Stress Away and Peppermint are always near my computer.
9. Another antique store mortar and pestle inside another divided wooden box. I know, I'm getting repetitive now. But I cannot resist a pretty vintage box filled with my treasures.
10. The piece de resistance- my favorite place to store my essential oils is this old wooden drawer that I found at the Country Living Fair a few years ago. It has divided drawers that will hold 5 ml bottles standing up or 15 ml bottles lying down. When I remodeled the attic into my office I discovered that it fit perfectly inside one of the cubby holes so it has a new home. I'm not sure where this originally came from- maybe a carpenter shop or out of a file cabinet? Not sure, but I love it.
When I'm traveling, I use these soft-sided travel essential oil cases made by Dani's Designs. They hold quite a few oils and are great for tossing in a suitcase so I never leave home without my most-used oils.
If you liked these ideas, be sure to head over to my main blog and read about how to DIY this birch wood slice essential oil holder!

It's interesting to think of art as problem solving.
Art does this in many ways. And maybe it doesn't actually 'solve' any problems, but kind've looks at them, from different angles, exposes problems, considers them, and starts conversations or critiques.
But when something like programming enters the equation (quite literally), the whole process of making becomes a process of figuring out a problem.
In a sense making a work becomes like a puzzle. You put pieces together. But I'm not sure if anyone, in any discipline that uses computer programming, would find that the scope of the work was in some ways made monotonous by computer programming.
Quite the opposite. In programming one always tries to optimise, and along the way is always learning new techniques and ways of doing things that were unknown previously.
I'm sure there are always more things to learn with programming, because every day I try and code something, I get one step further. It might only be a small step, but a step nonetheless, which then becomes part of your veritable tool box of techniques.
And this I find incredibly rewarding, personally. It's fair to say one never hits the limit of any tool, but the thing about programming is simply being caught as you create. I've read or heard elsewhere that this is a blight of programming, that the creative process is halted by a bug or some error. And you get caught in this loop for hours, trying to figure out the tiniest detail.
It's a strange challenge in the creative process. It'd be like trying to create a chorus for a song your working on on guitar, and then having to fix the guitar halfway through the writing process. I'm sure this isn't unique to programming, building as you go, learning as you go, and solving problems as you create. But it's something I find particularly fascinating about the medium.
That creating art becomes a kind of brain teaser. You know what you want, but how do you get there? It reminds me of John Maeda, in his book Creative Code, when talking about this process: "and in a flash of lightning it is suddenly there".

Clean Beauty Always! TAHNYC is made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, colorants and fragrances.
Made in USA. Not tested on animals.
TAHNYC is made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, colorants and fragrances but we've gone even further. TAHNYC is made without unnecessary fillers, texture makers and slip agents. This makes TAHNYC exceptionally effective while beautifully Dew like.
We create Conscious Powerful Clean Beauty. To us Conscious Powerful Clean Beauty means that every ingredient we use is carefully selected, powerful and works together in synergy to benefit your skin. We use clean Peptides paired with Skin Identical, skin replenishing ingredients such as Niacinamide, Vitamin B5, Hyaluronic Acid, NaPCA and Ceramides to replenish and activate the skin's natural function, and organic ingredients whenever we can.
TAHNYC feels like Dew. When we say Dew {drops of water} we mean it. Our signature Dew consistency is what All our products feel like because we choose not to use bulking, filling, texturizing add-ons. We use Powerful Ingredients and Nothing Else.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, simply they are small proteins. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Our skin is primarily made up of protein called collagen. As we age collagen breaks down and we get wrinkles. Peptides are cell communicators they penetrate the top layer of the skin signaling our cells, guiding them on how to function properly. Peptides have significant anti-aging effects improving fine and deep lines. TAHNYC also uses peptides to help skin heal, reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation, improve radiance, calm and soothe.
Niacinamide is an essential nutrient B3, a component of all living cells. Niacinamide improves skin tone, radiance and complexion helping reduce the appearance of acne.
Panthenol is an essential healing nutrient to our skin and is a provitamin of B5. Panthenol aids in healing and has anti-inflammatory effects. It also provides deep natural hydration.
N-Acetyl glucosamine (NAG) is an amino acid sugar that is naturally found in the body. NAG has significant anti-aging effects improving fine and deep lines. It significantly reduces scarring and lesions, dramatically improves skins radiance, elasticity, tone and acne. NAG aids in hydration, and being an amino sugar it offers the benefits of acids without the irritation, even for sensitive or rosacea prone skin.
Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring amino acid found in our skin called proline. It is a powerful skin replenishing ingredient that binds moisture to our cells. Sodium PCA is a powerful hydrating agent that delivers moisture to our skin, it has the ability to attract moisture from air and is part of the natural moisturizing factors that maintain a healthy epidermis.
Hyaluronic Acid is produced by the body naturally. HA is the natural gel between skin cells that serves as a water reservoir for the cells. TAHNYC uses a proprietary low molecule HA blend. Having a low molecule size allows it to travel below the 1st outer layer of skin (epidermis) into the dermis. That makes it exceptionally effective in providing deep hydration and significant anti-aging effects. Studies also show that Low Molecule HA also provides anti-inflammatory and healing effects.
Allantoin is found in the body naturally. It's anti-inflammatory properties dramatically help heal and soothe irritated skin, calm redness and replenish hydration. Allantoin stimulates healthy skin regeneration helping with acne, scarring, dryness and overall skin softness and hydration. It's amazing for all skin types even the most sensitive skin.
Ceramides are lipid molecules that are found in the upper layer of our skin (epidermis). Ceramides make up a large component of our skin's surface, supporting moisture loss, providing healthy skin function, hydration and suppleness. TAHNYC uses Ceramides to replenish skin's moisture barrier keeping skin healthy, supple and hydrated.
Glycerin also known as glycerol is found in all lipids known as triglycerides. Glycerin is naturally found in our skin. A humectant, it attracts moisture from air into your skin. Glycerin not only helps Hydration it soothes dry, irritated, sensitive skin.

The original length of the Ston Fortress is 7,000 m. It consists of the walls of Ston and Little Ston and the Great Wall with three fortresses. The official defense corps has been formed for almost four centuries, due to the adaptation of the field and the development of weapons. The walls were of great importance because they defended the city, the shellfish farm, and the saltworks, which donated 15,900 ducats per year to the Dubrovnik Republic.

Customer trip Review Summer 2017Posted:Oct 9th, 2017 3:31 am
We had an awesome trip! Scandinavia was amazing! The location of the hotels in both Copenhagen & Stockholm was perfect. We especially enjoyed Hotel C in Stockholm, particularly since the ice bar was there. Highlights for me were Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen and Gamla Stan in Stockholm. Thanks much for your assistance and for your patience with all of our questions as we planned this trip of a lifetime! Lois L.
