The United Nations has warned about humanitarian crisis in Yemen in the wake of the nearly two-year-old Saudi aggression. Yemen could face famine in 2017 if food supply is not allowed to be dispatched into the impoverished nation, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Stephen O'Brien told the Security Council on Thursday.
Muhammad Ali Carter, a journalist and political commentator from London, said that the international community and the West have done nothing in real world to reduce sufferings of the impoverished Yemeni people.
"The UN admits what it [has done for Yemenis], it's been useless," because the world body wants to talk but the Yemeni people need real acts to get rid of the Saudi war on their country, Carter said on Thursday night.
The Yemeni people are facing a lot of problems as a result of the Saudi aggression on their country, "but we're seeing a lack of condemnation, we're seeing a lack of coverage and we're also seeing a lack of action that's the biggest problem," he said.
Yemen stands alone because the so-called super powers abandoned this impoverished country, he noted.
While the Yemeni children and civilians die from a horrible starvation in this day and age, it is "disgusting" that the British government as one of the Western powers is doing nothing practical to get results for these people, the analyst added.
Saudi Arabia and its allies have started blockade of Yemen since March 2015 under the justification that they want to stop delivery of arms into the war-torn country, but the Saudi-led alliance left civilians without food and medicine.
Carter also said that at least 14.5 million people have been classified as "food insecure" which means the Yemeni people are on the verge of starving to death.
Aid organizations, who want to carry out humanitarian work in Yemen, have no way to get into the country, he said, adding that it is very difficult to send food, water and medicine to the Yemenis because of the Saudi-imposed blockade.
According to the journalist, the most affected people in Yemen are pregnant women, children under five years old and the elderlies, who are suffering the most from the internationally ignored siege.
"There have been massive human rights abuses and a bombing campaign which the UN admitted has been the number one cause of civilian death in the country," he pointed out.
The Saudi war on Yemen, which local sources say has killed at least 11,400 people, was launched in an unsuccessful attempt to reinstate the former government.

***So it's decided, I will be heading to restaurant Marrakesh some time in the near future thanks to the great review by the Gluten-Free and Dairy Free at WDW blog! Can anyone say Lemon Chicken? Yes please!!!
***My friends over at Jambo Everyone did a fantastic feature on the Gibbon/Siamang Exhibit which happens to also be a favorite of mine. I always make sure to stop here to watch these extremely entertaining apes.
***Ever since the Disney Parks Blog reported on the menu changes to Germany's Biergarten and Sommerfest, I've been dreaming about a Currywurst! Luckily I don't have to dream quite as much now as the folks over at Eating WDW had a less then stellar review of the new menu change. I definitely trust their judgement but might give it a try in the future just to weigh in!
***Rhiannon from My Disney Addiction takes us through the first three hours of her My FP+ experience. The ridiculous amount of steps to make your fast pass selections and any changes is not making me excited for this program at all!
***So if you've never picked up an Imagineering Field Guide to Walt Disney World, you absolutely must! Right now....I meant go to the store right now and pick one up! But before you do that head over to Disney With Me and check out Rebecca's review of the Magic Kingdom and Epcot field guide.
***I absolutely loved Amy's review of Kilimanjaro Safari on the Relocated Tourist blog. It's definitely getting me excited for my upcoming trip as we want to try and hit the safari first thing in the morning this time!
Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog as well as the awesome blogs featured here today.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Fashion Flash, our weekly emagazine, often hosts giveaways on the blogs that are part of this great group. This time it's a romantic giveaway and it's Beauty Info Zone's turn. This is a two prong giveaway with a romance novel by a New York Times bestselling author and a necklace from Nancy Davis, owner of Peace & Love jewelry. Each of the two winners will receive two prizes that I'm sure will make your heart happy.products sent for giveaway
Part 1 of the giveaway is a paperback novel by Elizabeth Hoyt, Wicked Intentions.
From the New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Hoyt comes the first book in her beloved Maiden Lane series.
Infamous for his wild, sensual needs, Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, is searching for a savage killer in St. Giles, London's most notorious slum. Widowed Temperance Dews knows St. Giles like the back of her hand-she's spent a lifetime caring for its inhabitants at the foundling home her family established. Now that home is at risk . . .
Caire makes a simple offer-in return for Temperance's help navigating the perilous alleys of St. Giles, he will introduce her to London's high society so that she can find a benefactor for the home. But Temperance may not be the innocent she seems, and what begins as cold calculation soon falls prey to a passion that neither can control-one that may well destroy them both.
This is the first book in her 11 book Maiden Lane series and earned 4.5 stars from Romantic Times Book Reviews. It might just start you off on a journey you won't want to end.
Part 2 is a necklace from the wonderful Peace and Love collection by Nancy Davis. As you are reading this the necklaces aren't even available but you will have the chance to win one of these Black Friday specials in our giveaway.
Nancy Davis is going to be on EVINE to share her jewelry on Thursday 11/23 11 p.m. to midnight, and again on Black Friday 11/24 from midnight to 1 a.m, 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. (when the variety of necklaces will be shown), 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. with these necklaces and again from 1 to 2 p.m. and 10 to 11 p.m. Her collection of 16 necklaces will be available on Evine all day for the terrific price of $29.99 (normally priced at $55).
I have 2 to give away out of the 16 but I'd still advise you to check these out on Evine since they will make fabulous gifts. They come ready for gift giving in their colorful box so all you need is a bow and a gift card.
These have a 16″ inch chain with a 2″ extender. The chain itself is Sterling Silver while the stones are White Zircon and look like diamonds.
The Peace & Love necklace choices are the Peace & Love signature peace heart, a dove, an angel, a bumble bee, Fleur de Lis, pineapple, lotus, cross, Tree of Life, Evil Eye, Star of David, olive branch, circle, Hamsa, smiley, and lady bug. So many to choose from!
Our winners will receive one paperback copy of Wicked Intentions by Elizabeth Hoyt and one Peace & Love necklace. Our giveaway is open through 12/3/17 at 11:59 p.m. for US only. Our thanks go to the author and Nancy Davis for their generous products being given away to two of you. Good luck and good romance. — Marcia

It is with great regret that we announce the departure, at the end of the year, of Mr. Richard Gagnon as President of Humania Assurance.
Indeed, a few months ago, Mr. Gagnon has let us know that near sixty years old, and after thirteen years at the helm of the company, he was planning to retire to begin a less active phase of his career.
Mr. Gagnon has done a remarkable job during his mandate. Under his leadership, La Survivance, that became Humania Assurance, managed to have an enviable position of modern insurer, specialized in living benefits. He has pushed the company to be audacious and innovative, his three last products being accessible via Web only, in partnership with a network of solid financial advisors offering Humania products. The launch of the Aurrea Signature banner and the new HuGO platform, just a few days ago, confirms once again the innovative character of Humania. During his mandate, the company has known a strong growth of its business volume, while more than a third of its sales is now from outside Quebec. When presenting those great results, those who know him well already know he will say that he was surrounded by a management team and employees that are exceptional.
In the name of the company, we sincerely thank him for his great contribution in the development of our company and wish him to fully take advantage of the coming years.

Hello to all of the lovely mamas out there! I have a Father's Day card idea over on Olive & Clyde today. Check it out!
Category Archives: DIY – Art projects
This is a big deal, you guys. Do you know what Big Deal I'm talking about?
**** I started AND finished my first postpartum DIY! ****
My baby has pretty much sucked every ounce of energy from me the last three months.
But, that smile really makes it all worth it. Well, maybe not alllllll of it. Most of it. The better portion of it.
Definitely 90/10.
Ok, 80/20.
At least 75/25, and luckily she seems to be falling into some sort of napping pattern which allows me a few gloriously free moments here and there. And how else would I fill these moments? Aside from washing bottles, doing laundry, and vacuuming, why DIY PROJECTS of course!
So, maybe I should back up a bit. Last week my dad had a birthday. He celebrated 67 years of being AWESOME. I have the photos to prove it.
He really is the man who has everything, so gifting him something interesting is always a challenge. I figured he would probably, maybe, sorta be okay if I made Rose the focus of his gift. (You should know he's obsessed with her. In a very adorably grandpa-ish sort of way.)
I stumbled upon a cool, chunky frame at Goodwill and the whole idea for his gift came into focus. Did you like that complicated 10 minute intro? Doesn't this feel like an episode of Family Guy?
Without further ado, here's how to spruce up a cheap Goodwill frame and turn it into something you'd actually want to hang on your wall:
Find a not-so-lovely frame. Cat paintings preferable.
For this particular project it would be beneficial to find a wood frame that's in descent condition.
Mask off the areas you don't want painted. (I usually use expensive painters tape but only had cheap masking tape on hand. Ironically it worked perfectly well.)
Next on the agenda is sanding and then priming your beautiful, new frame. For sanding I recommend using a rougher grit first, to get rid of any clear coat or polyurethane. After the rough stuff a finer grit paper should smooth things out nicely.
I laid my frame to dry on the deck and serendipitously framed a weed. 'Twas meant to be.
These bastards are popping up from under our deck and they're driving me nuts. Any tips on how to remove them without Hulk Smashing through the deck planks?
Olive is my trusted advisor. She was overseeing this project per usual, and was happy to see me back to my DIYing shenanigans.
Ok, so after your primer dries, go ahead and slap on some paint.
I used a sample of paint I had on hand that has already been used in so many random projects. Best $2.50 I ever spent. I also followed up this painting step with a layer of clear coat from a spray can.
After the paint dries, assemble your collage of photos. I ordered mine from a place that prints directly from Instagram. I won't say the name of the company because I wasn't particularly thrilled with the quality. (There are a million companies that print Instagram pics — if you find a good one let me know.)
I used a piece of black posterboard as the background for my photos, and just a dab of double-sided tape to get the pictures in place.
You COULD measure them out. I say you "could" because I didn't. Don't have a meltdown, my dear lumberjack. You do your thang, I'll do mine. And my thang just happens to be eye-balling.
Here she is, all put together:
There you have it!
Here's a cost breakdown:
Frame: $5.99
Photos: $12/24 photos, so $4.50 for this project
Posterboard: $0.45
Supplies: FREE (We already had the paint, tape, sandpaper, and clear coat)
For a grand total of $10.94! Dad, you know you're proud.
And that, my friends, is how you turn an incredibly drab cat painting into something you'd actually want to gift (or not, and hang it in your own house instead because you actually can't part with it).
The end.
Guest Post: Crochet for the Modern Lady
Today's post is brought to you by one of my favorite ladies on the planet: Marci. You might remember her from my baby shower post, and you will definitely remember her after seeing her crocheting wizardry. So, without further ado…
As Mrs. Harpster nears her gestational term and is busy, busy, busy planning for the new baby, I offered to give her a little time back by writing a guest post. If I remember correctly, I had a nervous breakdown about this point because work expected me to get EVERYTHING done before I left for my maternity leave. At nine months pregnant you just need to put your feet up. So put your feet up LADY!
I had to rack my brain for one DIY project that would live up to the awesomeness that is The Harpster Home. The only tutorial I could come up with is crochet.
WAIT, DON'T GO. Crochet doesn't have to be the dainty, doily, grandma-type stuff of another generation. It can be chunky, colorful, kitschy, and whatever else you want it to be. It definitely is NOT expensive. Yarn is cheap and so are the crochet hooks. Really that's all you need — that, time and patience.
Also, I should mention that this is less of a tutorial; instead encouragement to teach yourself as I did — thank you YouTube!
A friend of ours would whip-up baby blankets, WEEKLY, and comment on how EASY it is. Being a perfectionist and a masochist, it was right up my ally.
To start off, give your self one small task to accomplish. I mean small, like a square. This will help you figure out how to hold the yarn, make a simple stitch, and feel accomplished quickly.
One year, everyone in my family got scarves for Christmas. I've never seen any of those scarves adorning their necks, BUT it did lead to other projects.
My most recent crochet projects have been baby blankets. I know a blanket seems like a BIG undertaking, but essentially it's just one big granny square. So instead of trying to illustrate via chicken scratch or via poorly lit photos, I'm going to recommend you hop right over to YouTube and search for granny square tutorials.
The hardest part is the beginning. Get over that hump (ha) and it is very repetitive and almost soothing (for those of us crazy people that like keeping our hands busy anyways).
Here are some of my tips –
- Go to the store and buy a skein of yarn (that's what the yarn balls are called) in your favorite color. Get some crochet hooks while you're at it. You only need one but the packages have many sizes depending on the project. I just pick one in the middle.
- Get comfortable with your laptop or iPad and look up some granny square tutorials on YouTube. Find one you like and get comfortable with the pause button. Some videos I had to rewind several times, pause, and try again. (The blanket I made for baby Harpster is essentially one BIG granny square)
- Whatever you do, DON'T try and read the crochet patterns. I have no idea what all those letters mean or how the H-E-double hockey sticks they turn into something. Maybe if you learned the right old-fashioned way, it makes sense.
- Figure out how you want to hold the crochet hook, yarn, and the piece you're working on. The tension is important so you'll need to get familiar with it. This is the hardest part. You watch all these fingers on YouTube and think, "SLOW DOWN". It's akin to learning to tie your shoes. If you are like me, it will feel so foreign that it's as if your fingers lost the ability to move independently
- If you get frustrated put it away for another day and have some wine.
- I actually made our Christmas stockings last year (they are pretty scary and sloppy but gotta love my husband who hangs them with pride)
- Seriously videos on YouTube. Even if you are just trying to fix your drier, DIY videos will walk help you problem solve.
- IF ALL ELSE FAILS, Pinterest has some really cool things you can make with all that extra yarn you bought. (Note from The Harpster Home: DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THOSE F$*%ING YARN-WRAPPED LETTERS.)
Here are some granny squares that I eventually stitched together to make a small blanket for my sister:
And the blanket for Baby Harpster completed and folded:
AND for all you Olive fans out there – here is Sammy modeling one of the first scarves I ever made. Ok, not really a scarf, but it was the first thing I had completed.
Some FREE Pizzazz
I needed a big change in the bedroom. In the midst of trying to put together the nursery
we are I am also, in fact, trying to assemble some sort of fashionable master bedroom. Call me crazy. I like to work on about 12 projects at the same time. The other 10 are only in the idea phase, and they're rolling around in my brain like a bunch of rocks. Ooof.
Remember when we hung beautiful sconces over our new bed?
Beautiful sconces are indeed beautiful, but they're a little blah. Also? Those pillows don't go. Well, they did go. They got the boot.
I will definitely use these candles somewhere else in the bedroom because I LOVE them, but I needed something with a little more punch and with some more modern lines to hang over the bed.
I have been holding onto three blank canvases since we moved into our house, just waiting to bust them out at the perfect time. They used to live above our couch, covered in fabric, in our old apartment:
They were given to me by a friend when she was downsizing, so I continue to recycle them into new art when the mood strikes.
Well, the mood struck. It struck hard. I ripped all that fabric off, taped off the canvases, and went to Painting Town. I didn't take pictures for a tutorial of the whole thing because it's quite simple. You'll see why….
VA VA VOOOOM! RIGHT? This little punch of geometric goodness is just what the doctor ordered.
Ok, here's the super simple How-To:
- Tape off the canvas at a diagonal
- Paint the taped-off corner
- Wait for the paint to dry
- Remove the tape and put down a new piece over the painted side (try to match up the edge of the tape to your new line of paint)
- Paint the other corner
That's seriously how simple this project was. All of the light corners are three different colors because I wanted some variation in tones. Two of the dark colors are the same, and that one pop of turquoise really just tickles my fancy.
Olive could've done this project. That's how easy it was. The hardest part was picking out colors and I just totally winged it. I got lucky and really loved how it turned out — but if I didn't all I would do is paint over whatever I didn't love.
Because I used free canvases that I've been holding onto for years and I just mixed up paint that I already had lying around (it was a mix of the little sample sizes you get for interior paint, and craft / acrylic paint) this project was 100% FREE. And aren't those really the best kind?
Olive approves. Everything is always better with a little snuggle from Olive.
She's not exactly allowed on the bed so Steve, if you're reading this, I love you [INSERT BIG PUPPY DOG EYES HERE]!
That's the tale of how I got some free pizzazz. Which is the best kind of pizzazz, don't ya think?
Photo Fun
Lucky for you I didn't start off your morning by spelling "fun" with a "ph." That would've been unforgivable. You're welcome.
Steve and I have taken a short break from All Things House for the last few weeks – as you may have noticed – but I did do one quick project that was really fun, and managed to spice up a pretty boring hallway.
We had one of those photobooths at our wedding (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND), and since we had double prints made – one for us and for our guests – I had approximately 100 hilariously awesome photostrips stacked in a box in our closet. They needed to be displayed. Proudly. We had some underwear flashing, some bare chests, and a few make-out sessions (you know who you are), and that kind of incrimination needs to be displayed for the world to see.
I managed to snag three of these perfectly suited frames at the Indiana ReStore for a measly eight bucks.
I removed the matting and the nautical photos (which actually weren't bad if you're into that sorta thing), taped a piece of cut poster-board down to the frame backing, and lined up the first set of strips.
I simply measured where the middle top and bottom strips would go, and then eye-balled the rest from those anchors. It seems willy-nilly but it actually worked really well.
Here is one of them all said and done:
My OCD prefers that I keep things in straight lines, but if you're more laid back you could try all different kinds of layouts with the strips. You could stagger them, or just lay them in there all scrapbook-y. I break out with cold sweats just discussing a non-symmetrical arrangement.
Just repeat that process for however many frames you have and BOOM! You have hallway artwork!
I had to pick out a few of my favorite strips to show you guys. (DISCLAIMER TO FRIENDS: Remember how much I love you, k?)
Admittedly, the pictures got increasingly naughty with the continued flow of alcohol, but that's what weddings are for right? Getting drunk and making a fool of yourself! Should I tell you again how much I love our friends? Like, SO MUCH. They are pretty much the most awesome human beings in the entire galaxy. xo
Anywhoo, back to this rated PG post. Here is another shot down the hallway:
There is something so cool with the juxtaposition of the striped shower curtain and these striped photostrips. I love how they play off each other. That was totally not planned, by the way. I could lie to you and tell you it was, but yeah, no. It wasn't. Yay for happy accidents!
That's it folks! I took two weeks off and all I have for you is this measly 15 minute project. We have a lot in the works so I promise things are about to get EXCITING. Just hold on to your horses, okay?
Good luck charging through this Monday morning. My suggestions: coffee, coffee, and more coffee.
A House Drawing How-To
For many of you, by the time you'll be reading this, it will be the morning of your first day back at work from Christmas Vacation. To prevent pissing you off even more than you already are I'll just skip right over that.
I hope everyone had a delightful holiday weekend. Ours felt short on time spent with family and heavy on time spent on the road, but it was still worth it. We had an awesome Christmas Eve and Day with Steve's whole family. My family is teeny tiny so it's always exciting for me to feel the energy of a big family. Opening presents Christmas morning with Steve's parents and brothers was so much fun. I even got my own stocking!
I'm psyched because I can finally share a fun art project I did a few weeks ago; I couldn't spill the beans any earlier because it was a Christmas gift for Steve's grandma. Aunt Shelley emailed me a few months ago asking if I could draw a picture of Grandma Hazel's house, which was about to be sold. She wanted to frame it and give it to Hazel for Christmas, which I thought was an exceptional idea. I was more than happy to help and because I had already drawn Steve's parent's house for a Christmas gift last year, I knew exactly how to accomplish the task. (And I've never been commissioned to art anything before so I felt pretty fancy.)
Here's the How-To:
First, Shelley emailed me a picture of the house. I converted it to black and white and then adjusted the lightness and darkness so it printed out with high contrast.
I taped the picture down (with painters tape — so it comes up easy) on a glass table, and then taped a piece of white paper on top of it. (NOTE: Don't tape down the bottom edge of the white paper. Once you start drawing it's helpful to be able to pull up the paper so you can see the photograph.)
Then, I placed a lamp under the table to create a light-box effect:
Here you can see how the photograph is seen with the light behind it:
Then, you just start drawing using the photo as your guide. I only used 3 different densities of drawing pencils: a very hard 2H, a medium HB, and a very soft 2B. Having a range of led helps to get the right lightness and darkness. Just go slow and steady, and move right to left if you're a lefty like me.
Wowzers. My hands are pretty wrinkley. Thank you Macro Setting.
Once you get into it, and you have the basic shape down, it's helpful to turn off the light and reference a second copy of the photograph for shading. I had an extra copy just sitting on the table so I could get an easy look if I needed it.
Steve couldn't resist taking a picture of me hard at work. Notice how I fold up into a pretzel when I'm concentrating. Not sure why that is, but I've been like that ever since I was a kid.
All done!
After I mailed it to Aunt Shelley she put it in a gorgeous white frame / black mat combo that really complimented the drawing. I was so happy I was able to be there when Hazel opened her present. She adored it, and I loved being a part of it all. (I'll have to see if I can track down a picture of her opening it.) A big thank you goes out to Aunt Shelley for unnecessarily paying me with OMG a GIFT CARD TO MIDLAND. Do you have any idea how surprised and excited I was? I may or may not have shed a tear. Or two. I will definitely be making a trip there sometime this week. Maybe I will finally find a credenza for the family room?
With some patience, and a little knowledge of drawing, you can commemorate your home. It makes a great gift, whether it's for someone you love or just for yourself. If you don't feel confident in your drawing abilities just trace that sucker with a fine point felt-tipped pen. It will feel less realistic and more stylized which could be just as cool.
As Bob Ross once said, "We don't make mistakes, we just have happy accidents". Good luck drawing your happy, little trees!
Our Wedding: One Helluva DIY Project
With how busy we've been working on the house, I've sort of forgotten to share my proudest DIY project to date: our wedding!
There is so much to share — from beginning to end — so I'll try to sum it up as cohesively as I can. Pardon my ADD if I start to jump around.
First, I'll start with the invitations:
I emailed the save-the-dates so people would respond with their mailing addresses. That was my sneaky way to avoid tracking down all of the addresses right before I needed to mail the invites.
Then, about two months before the wedding our guests received our invitations and RSVP postcards.
All of the info was on our wedding blog (It's no longer up): everything was included from hotel and venue information, to the story of how we met.
You've been patient, so now I'll get to the good stuff: The Wedding Day!
Our wedding was at the home of our incredibly awesome family friends who just happen to have a totally killer, wedding-ready house. They are like a second family to me, so to have our wedding on their property was everything we had ever wanted. It gave us the ability to decorate exactly how we wanted, which made everything so warm and fuzzy. It was intimate, casual, festive, and every other single adjective that we were aiming for. To sum it up quickly before the water-works start, IT WAS OUR DREAM COME TRUE.
While my best friend, Molly, and I enjoyed a glass of wine before the festivities, our guests were greeted with this sandwich board sign that Steve and I made. I hand-painted a welcome message on one side, and a thanks-for-coming message on the other (I will post a tutorial on this project).
The short-but-sweet ceremony was held around the pool, with Steve and me standing on the deck. My mom gets full credit for making an aisle runner out of two tablecloths, and constructing the simple and stunning backdrop. The pretty flowers were left over from the rehearsal-dinner arrangements Steve's mom had gotten made. It couldn't have worked out more perfectly.
My handsome groom. Isn't he charming?
After the ceremony our guests mingled on the driveway, where the reception was held. We had lots of activities to keep them occupied, as well as tons of yummy food.
Steve made Cornhole boards (tutorial soon) that got a lot of action.
We had a thumbprint guest book where we asked guests to "leaf" their prints. I need to post a picture of what it looks like all filled up. It's incredible. My friends have some nice thumbprints, if I do say so myself.
I made a banner from decorative paper I found at Michaels and strung it around this gorgeous bird cage that my mom happened to have in her basement. This worked perfectly to hold cards; they slipped right through the bars.
We had a photobooth, complete with a prop table. Recognize the table? This got really fun as the night wore on. (Read: This got really fun as the alcohol kicked in.)
Two of my dear friends were unable to attend the wedding, so our other friends who did come brought photo cutouts of their faces so we could take pictures with them –BRILLIANT! Kelly and Mark ended up on the prop table when they weren't cutting a rug on the dance floor.
We had the photobooth print doubles so we could have our guests leave a print behind for us. It was fun to see all of the strips hanging up at the end of the night. These boards were covered!
To make our initials I covered large cardboard letters with artificial flowers. It was a lot of plucking and gluing, but I'm happy with how they turned out. The boards were upcycled from old window shutters that Steve attached together. Then we strung hemp from one side to another and added hundreds of tiny clothespins.
And of course, our guests visited the bar:
The sign was made from an old frame I found at an antique store, and plywood painted with chalkboard spray paint. It really does work!
The map was probably my favorite project we made for the wedding. Many of our guests were coming from all over the US and I really wanted to somehow highlight that. This map was our little way of showing how much we appreciated the miles covered. With the help of a brilliant writer-friend, it was titled: "The Road You Tread To See Us Wed"
The map was a hit. We heard people proudly saying "That's my pin!"
For the table centerpieces we kept things simple: brightly colored tablecloths and simple flower arrangements — that Molly and I arranged ourselves — paired with mason jars that I had been collecting for an entire year before the wedding. You can't have too many candles.
Above our heads were strings of white lights and doily garland that I made by halving two different sized doilies over string, and then gluing together.
This is me, before slipping into my wedding dress, checking out the desert table. We had all homemade goodies instead of a single cake, which everyone really seemed to love. A big thank you goes out to all of our friends and family who baked their little hearts out. The dessert table was a hit!
I made the little "Love is Sweet" signs, and found that beautiful antique lace curtain on ebay, which perfectly framed the table.
Flip flops were a must-have; I think all of our dancing guests appreciated them. I scored these babies on sale for $1 a pop from Old Navy. I simply wrapped them with hemp and put size stickers on the heel of each shoe, which made for easy picking.
We danced our first dance to La Vie En Rose, by Louis Armstrong. I get teary-eyed just typing that out. You can imagine that I cried through the whole dance. I'm a softie.
My father/daughter dance was sweet, and it turned into a father/mother/daughter dance. What can I say? I'm an only child. They're both my everything.
After all of the "first dances" we got the party started!
One of my favorite shots is one my photographer took on his way out. This picture most closely captures the mood of the night. We had about 400 twinkling candles, and the whole thing honestly felt magical.
Of course we had to cap the whole DIY Wedding Theme with thank-you cards that captured the spirit of the event.
I designed vintage-themed postcards to send out to all of our friends, thanking them for sharing our special day with us.
I can easily say without hesitation that our wedding night was the best night of my life. We had everyone that we love in one place, and that alone makes for the perfect occasion. I also got to marry my best friend and the love of my life, so, yeah. Best. Night. EVER.
Fun with Postcards
Hello. Hi there! Guess what? I got to use my STAPLE GUN last night! Nothing is more delightful to me. Like Olive, I tend to be frightened by loud noises, but don't think that stops me from enjoying every minute of staple gunning. And yes, I just turned that into a verb.
It all started because of a little online Christmas Shopping a few days ago. Since I was already ordering presents and I was already getting free shipping, I decided to throw in a little Christmukah present for myself. This Charley Harper book of postcards was exactly what I needed for an empty frame I already had. It was begging to be turned into a wall display. (Here's my professed love for Charley Harper, if you missed it.)
I started with a texturally-beautiful vintage frame — that, like I said, I already owned — from an Antique Mall by our old apartment. Here is my lovely assistant modeling the frame:
Don't let that sad face fool you. She's having the time of her life. (She was actually just relieved that Steve finally removed my bra that he had clasped on her for about 30 minutes prior to this picture. These things happen in our house.)
I flipped through my new book, decided which pictures worked the best together, and then laid them all out to see how it was going to look.
I'm not going to lie; even though it's a postcard book, meant to be ripped apart, it still felt sacrilegious to extract the pages.
After deciding on a layout I measured and marked where I needed to attach the string. I have to hand it to Steve: measuring really does work. I usually just eyeball everything which can lead to wonky work. He may be onto something with this whole Ruler & Pencil thing.
The next step brings me back to the beginning of this post. Wherein I told you I GOT TO USE MY STAPLE GUN. I'm not sure if I can even type that with lower case letters because that's honestly how excited I get about it. Why, you ask? I have no idea. Just roll with it.
I lined up the string over my pencil marks, put in a staple, tied a knot around that staple, and then put in another staple (or 10). That technique seemed to work well to prevent the string from slipping out, or moving left to right.
I ran the string vertically so I only had to do three rows, instead of 4 horizontal rows.
I advise using two strings for each row, about an inch apart, to prevent the postcards from flipping around on you. After all the string was in place I simply taped each postcard on with one piece of scotch tape. This was the one step that I did eyeball, and it turned out just fine.
Sorry about the weird colors. The room was dim and our good camera is in about 14,000 pieces waiting for repair, so I've been using our small underwater camera and then attempting to lighten the pictures in Photoshop. I think you still get the gist of what it looks like.
I'm pretty thrilled with how it turned out, especially because fine art prints aren't cheap. I think this was a great solve to get some wallet-friendly art on the walls. (Because I already owned everything but the postcards, this project cost me a whopping $8.76.)
I am in love with the dimension of the finished piece and the rich shadows it casts on the wall. Because the string is so lightweight the cards look like they're floating in the frame. It's like a magic trick sans the creepy magician. Something I love even more is when projects work out like you have them pictured in your head.
To keep with with the Charley Harper obsession, I'm thinking about recreating one of my favorites prints on a huge canvas I scored at Goodwill yesterday for only $12.99.
Can you tell I'm doing anything I can to avoid painting the walls?

6 Tactics to Build a Social Media Following in 2019
Director of Inbound / Content Services, Consultant, Host of Creator's Block Podcast, 10+ Years of Project Management Experience
January 16th, 2017 min read
How to Build a Social Media Following
- Choose your social network wisely
- Complete your profiles (yes, your personal ones too!)
- Analyze your competitors
- Connect with thought leaders & influencers
- Share awesome content
- Be creative
- Don't be a content snob
- Utilize paid advertising
- Engage with your audience
When I first started working in inbound marketing, everyone would ask, "So, you just sit on Facebook all day?"
This was back when inbound marketing was first starting to make waves and Twitter was only a few years old. So, I understood their confusion on not grasping what inbound marketing entailed and how social media played a role in it.
But even years later, social media is still a large question mark with most B2B companies. Many don't see the value in it and all too often refuse to allocate resources towards it.
The truth is, social media can provide a huge value in acquiring new customers when used strategically.
In this article, we'll go back to the basics and truly understand how to build a social media following, but there's one thing we have to be clear about before we get started -- social following is almost always a vanity metric.
A vanity metric is a flashy number that sounds and looks impressive, but ultimately says nothing about the bottomline of your business (i.e. your profit, revenue, etc.).
While it can be exciting to have a ton of "likes" on Facebook or see millions of views on a YouTube video, if your business' goal is not solely building brand awareness or perhaps driving traffic, a social media following may not be a top priority for you.
1. Choose Your Social Network Wisely
First things first, understand that just because there is a social network, doesn't mean you need to be marketing on it. You need to understand what the platform really does, how people use it, and determine whether it makes sense for your business to have a presence.
Which social media platforms do your buyer personas truly use? Your brand should live where they live so you have a better chance to connect and engage with them. Having great content on Twitter and a highly-active presence means nothing if your buyer persona isn't hanging out there.
To help you decide, let's take a deeper look at the four largest social networks as of January 2017.
Facebook is still the social media powerhouse with nearly 80% of all internet users (68% of U.S. users) engaging with the platform, but did you know the fastest growing demographic on the platform is not the Millennials that started it, but rather their Baby Boomer parents?
Of those aged 65 or older, 62% use Facebook. So, if you're a wealth management firm marketing to people approaching and starting retirement, Facebook is the place you will want to be.
I know what you're thinking… "But my company is B2B so we wouldn't use Facebook to market because our audience doesn't live there."
Although your audience may not use Facebook in a work capacity, statistics prove that they are most likely still using the platform -- possibly as a distraction during work.
Creating an ad that speaks directly to your target audience, whether B2C or B2B, will encourage them to click and engage with you. But more on ads later.
Consider this fact: YouTube is the second largest search engine with more than 3 billion searches a month. With video continuing to surge as a preferred form of content, it's no surprise that YouTube is the third most-visited site on the web. Do you have "how to" information or tutorials you can show? Create a video and share on YouTube!
YouTube's popularity has only increased with its inclusion in both Google's web and video search (the platform is owned by Google, after all). Having an active channel on this platform can only help you acquire followers and traffic to your site.
Despite its recent troubles, Twitter still has an audience worth reckoning with.
One of the fascinating things about Twitter is its real-time appeal and international reach.
The platform supports 40 languages and 79% of accounts are based outside of the United States. Global brands can take advantage of this to create excitement about upcoming product or service launches. Playstation announced the release of a new game and quickly garnered 1,800 retweets and 4,200 likes.
"Social media for professionals." That's how most people describe LinkedIn and it does make sense seeing as 80% of marketers use LinkedIn for professional purposes. Talk about a B2B marketer's dream.
You can connect with people in your target industries (even as specific as to target companies you want to work with) and market to them directly. Or, as you're looking to grow your business, you can use LinkedIn to recruit quality talent to hire on at your company. Trust me, it works -- LinkedIn is how I landed my job here at IMPACT.
Though these are the four most prominent, there are plenty of other social media platforms you can consider for marketing your business as well, including Pinterest, Snapchat, Instagram and more. Just make sure to do your research and make sure that it is somewhere your ideal prospects are frequenting. Choosing the right social network is the first step to building a strong presence and following there.
2. Complete Your Profiles (...Yes, Your Personal Ones Too!)
Now that you've determined where to build your profiles, it's time to do so.
This seems like a trivial point to make but having complete profiles is necessary when trying to attract a good following.
Pretty much every social media platform has a summary area, profile picture, and cover photo where you can enter and showcase information about your business -- take advantage of this! Give users sneak peeks into what your company provides, but make sure to keep your branding (visuals and voice) consistent with who you are and what you provide.
Although, building out profiles shouldn't be siloed to company pages.
Depending on the network, each of your employees should have completed profiles so they too can share company news, industry insights, etc. Think of the increase in reach you can have by establishing an employee advocacy program! As every employee becomes a brand advocate for your company -- sharing content across their personal platforms -- you have the potential to reach all of their followers and connections as well.
3. Analyze Your Competitors
Something you should consistently be doing in marketing is analyzing your competitors. And that stands true for social media as well. What networks are they active on? What kind of content are they sharing? How often are they sharing?
Understanding your competitor's social media engagement will help you establish a roadmap of what you should be doing as well.
4. Connect with Thought Leaders & Influencers
Connecting with industry influencers is going to be a huge tactic in social media strategy moving forward. These companies or individuals are the thought leaders in your industry that your customers and target audience are following. Tap into the resource!
Follow industry professionals from content that you read or watch and share with your audience. Chances are, your followers have the same interest as you.
Do you attend annual events or conferences? Look up the speakers and connect with them on LinkedIn and Twitter. Start having virtual conversations about the event or tweet that you're excited to be learning from them. If the speaker engages with you (which he or she should), then you may be mentioned in a post that reaches all of their followers as well.
Or, tag your favorite influencer in a post and ask your followers to chime in on their go-to thought leaders as well. It will open the door for engagement and conversations with your audience.
5. Share Awesome Content
The most basic and useful way to build your following! Sharing quality content for your audience members will help establish your company -- and personal brand -- as a thought leader within your own industry.
What to Share
The obvious thing to share is your own content. However, many companies get in the habit of only sharing their content, which can actually hurt you in the long-run. When it comes to sharing on social media, there are two very important points to make:
1. Be creative with your content:
Add images, gifs, videos and more to your posts to make them more enticing. People want to see more than just text and need something visually appealing to catch their eye. Including images on the following platforms can increase your engagement by:
- Facebook - 39%
- LinkedIn - 98%
- Twitter - 200%
Connect with your audience in real time by utilizing live video. Studies have shown that people spend 3x longer watching live videos than pre-recordings. Take advantage of this emerging trend and speak directly to your followers!
2. Don't be a content snob:
If you're only sharing your own content then you're not doing it right. Best practice? Follow the 70-20-10 rule. In this practice, the content you are sharing should be adding value and building your brand 70% of the time, should be others' posts and ideas 20% of the time and should only promote yourself or your business 10% of the time.
Let that sink in.
Only 10% of your content on social media should be self-promotional. Why? Because this enables you to build trust with your followers and provide them with truly valuable content and information. Would you follow a company that only blasts you with promo offers all the time? Probably not.
When to Share
Knowing when you should post on your social media sites may take some time. However, there are some general rules you can use when first getting started. For instance, Buffer found that engagement rates are higher 18% of the time when posting to Facebook on Thursdays and Fridays.
Each of your platforms provides you with insights and analytics that you should be measuring over time. Create a sharing schedule for each platform and see when your posts receive the most engagement.
You can determine the day, time, and type of post to share to best reach your audience. The more they are engaged with your posts, the more your content will appear in other newsfeeds -- expanding your reach.
6. Utilize Paid Advertising
Now that you're up and running on social networks, it's time to take things one step further. Organic views in social media are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. Why? Because the platforms are smart and want you to pay to play. Social media advertising is one of the most cost-effective ways to engage with a new, targeted audience.
Facebook Advertising
There's a reason why 92% of social marketers are using Facebook advertising. Because of the vast number of people using the network, you have a good chance of reaching users whether you are trying to target internationally or to a smaller, local region. Furthermore, the factors you can specify to target is remarkable.
Facebook partners with third parties to bring the best targeting capabilities I've seen to date when it comes to social advertising. Meaning, you're not limited to targeting users solely based on their Facebook engagement and specifications. Facebook's advertising goes beyond targeting the common factors like gender, location, age, and job titles. You can get as specific as targeting people based on their life events (like those that recently got engaged), finances, politics, purchasing behaviors and more.
Facebook allows you to take into consideration a seemingly endless amount of targeting capabilities within a user's demographics, interests and behaviors. Plus, now that Facebook owns Instagram, you can specify your ads to also appear on that platform as well.
LinkedIn Advertising
As I've previously mentioned, LinkedIn is the go-to social media platform for B2B marketers. Though you don't have as many factors as Facebook, LinkedIn advertising can get pretty specific when building a target audience.
One feature that LinkedIn recently rolled out is Sponsored InMail. This is in additional to ads that can appear in the newsfeed of a user's homepage and text ads that appear on the sidebar area.
Sponsored InMail allows you to send personalized messages to prospects to help reach members when they are most engaged. Your message is delivered to a specified target audience you build and sent only to members that are actively engaged on LinkedIn. Choose to send an introductory message about your business, a recently published resource or offer a free trial to your product or service.
7. Engage With Your Audience
Following the above steps will certainly help you build a strong social media following. Don't forget, "followers" is just a vanity number.
Once you build your audience, you need to engage with them. Like posts you're mentioned in, answer questions when asked and reply to comments made about your content. Social media is meant to be social!
Continue to engage with users and chances are you'll not only see an increase in followers, but in customers too.
Some brands have even become famously successful for engaging with their followers and customers. Take JetBlue for example. The airline regularly engages with its followers on Twitter, even making flight delays a little more fun.

There's A Double-Edged Sword Inside J.J. Abrams' Mystery Box That Is 10 Cloverfield Lane
This review may contain spoilers about the nature of the movie. Proceed with caution if you want everything to remain a secret.
J.J. Abrams is the Sorcerer's Apprentice of marketing. He seizes campaigns like a magic wand, bewitching his films with secrecy and hype. His powers worked for 2008's mysteriously named Cloverfield, which even generated fan theories about its inscrutable title (the true story of the name is not that exciting). He hid the monster in Super 8 to make people buy tickets to see if it was cool. (It wasn't.) Most brilliantly, Star Wars: The Force Awakens trickled out trailers without revealing a drop of the plot. In fact, the commercials turned out to be more creative than the script.
Yet the audience—his marching broomsticks—sometimes turns against its master, especially when his spells are sloppy. Take Star Trek Into Darkness, for which Abrams quarantined the first-act reveal that Benedict Cumberbatch was playing fan favourite Khan. A Khan showdown would sell tickets. Instead, Abrams's pointless charade probably cost the film millions.
10 Cloverfield Lane is a decent thriller that would have been delightful if J.J. Abrams had never touched it at all. Before its Abrams-ification, it was a low-budget spec script called The Cellar penned by writers Josh Campbell and Matthew Stuecken. The Cellar is about a woman, Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), who wakes up in a bunker ruled by a conspiracy nut named Howard (John Goodman). Howard claims he's saved her life, and his half-wit farmhand Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.) agrees. The outdoor air is contaminated—perhaps even poisoned by Martians. She has to gamble: live with a maybe-madman, or escape and risk death. Her dilemma becomes ours. Do we cheer when Michelle conks Howard on the head and grabs for his keys? Or do we scream, "Stop, you moron—stay inside!"
That's a hell of a hook. Ambitious young filmmakers could have shot it on the cheap in one room. But cheap movies come out every day—nearly 20 low-budget films get released each week—and no one might have ever seen it.
And so The Cellar sold to J.J. Abrams, who sprung for a great cast, a couple of CGI monsters, and an advertising budget so big it couldn't be ignored. He tapped commercials director Dan Trachtenberg to direct and Damien Chazelle (Whiplash) to polish the script. Everyone involved took a vow of silence until Abrams announced the film's existence two months ago, spinning it into a surprise event. Compare that to The Force Awakens''s 38 months of scrutiny.
It would have worked, too, without Abrams's marketing mistake. In January, he announced that the movie would be called 10 Cloverfield Lane—a direct nod to his $170 million space monster blockbuster; a "spiritual successor." Great publicity, dumb move. The title alone is a spoiler. We've seen what's out there, watched it smash Manhattan and burst Lizzy Caplan's stomach. Forget wondering if Howard is insane. Now, we suspect the madman is probably right before the movie even starts.
Without the shivery thrill of suspense, we also spend the whole movie trapped in an airless box. The only jolts come from noisy jump-scares. While Michelle schemes to figure out what we already know, our attention drifts. We notice the spot-on set design with its cheap silk sunflowers, Bible Pictionary, and cartoon duck shower curtain—suspiciously feminine touches that are important to file away. We'll savour the Costco pantry stocked with Fruit by the Foot and stump-size tins of crackers. And we notice the script's slipshod mistakes—like why would a 300-pound survivalist put his crucial filtration system in a room only accessible by a skinny air shaft?
10 Cloverfield Lane has its pleasures. Emmett is a charming moron. Winstead's Michelle is quick and smart, a MacGyver in chipped nail polish, which the film fixates on to show the passage of time. In her first scene, she dumps her fiancé by fleeing their apartment. She leaves her engagement ring and takes the scotch; this heartbreaker has her own priorities. Goodman is introduced belly-first, his girth blocking the door to Michelle's cell. Before we see his face, we see his gun. Point made: She's not getting past this guy without a fight.
Winstead and Goodman are great actors, but Trachtenberg uses them all wrong. 10 Cloverfield Lane could have salvaged its spoiled reveal by shifting our loyalties between them from scene to scene and letting us see Michelle through Howard's eyes: as an ungrateful brat who could get them all killed. Yet Goodman is never allowed empathy, even though he deserves it. The man might be a new David Koresh, but he is sharing his food with two strangers. All he asks is that they lend a hand with cooking, pee according to his plumbing schedule, and help him solve a puzzle or two. When he claims, "I know I sound like a sensible guy," we're meant to snigger. But, c'mon, his doomsday bunker is immaculate. There's a glimmer of hurt pride in Goodman's eyes—don't these millennials appreciate his eco-toilet?—but even in those moments, the film plays him like a tyrant. Think Kim Jong-un crying to James Franco about his daddy.
Eventually, 10 Cloverfield Lane presents a dilemma we can't immediately answer. What's better: the villain you know, or the danger you don't? It rushes the answer before we get a chance to decide. Yet in a way, that's the question Abrams has been asking himself his entire career. He has always bet on the mystery monster. For 10 Cloverfield Lane, he placed his chips on a known invader. Both ways, he has gambled and lost. Time to scrap his belabored marketing tricks and take Howard's advice: "Just hang loose."
10 Cloverfield Lane is in theatres now. Check out the trailer below:

Benefit(s): When the alchemist creates a bomb, he can infuse it with cytillesh extract. Cytillesh bombs deal 1d4 points of damage, plus 1d4 points of damage for every odd-numbered level, instead of 1d6. Creatures that take a direct hit from a cytillesh bomb are sickened for 1 round per alchemist level unless they succeed at Fortitude saves. If a creature is rendered unconscious from this bomb or any other attack before it is able to remove the sickened condition, the victim loses all memory from the last hour and cannot form new memories for 8 hours.
The lost and prevented memories might return later as dreams, and can be restored with a restoration spell. This discovery doesn't stack with other discoveries that alter an alchemist's bomb.

text: ITALIAN FORMAL STYLE COMES FROM ITS VENERABLE AND CHARMING PALAZZOS where exquisite craftsmanship is a hallmark. The Italian love of beauty and art is everywhere in evidence, from captivating trompe-l'oeil wall paintings, ceiling frescoes, elaborate stucco friezes, and classical mosaics reminiscent of the Renaissance. Italian style may have religious imagery and themes, steeped as it is in the history of the catholic church. Yet its elegance may be leavened by whimsy, grand proportions and intricate detail expressed with exuberance.

Moving to Malaysia?
Public Transport and Big Cities in Malaysia
Travel by Rail: Lagging Behind
Malaysia has a relatively well-developed infrastructure, although the rural areas are somewhat lagging behind. The Malaysian National Railway Company is called KTM Berhad and offers a relatively comfortable and inexpensive way to travel across the country.
Unfortunately, only two main intercity lines are really fully operational in Peninsular Malaysia: JB Sentral-Kuala Lumpur-Butterworth and Gemas-Wakaf Bharu.
Travel by Plane or Coach: The Most Comfortable Option
Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang, about 50 km south of the city, is the place where most international flights arrive and depart. It is served both by Malaysia Airlines and various international airlines.
Inter-city and regional flights are increasingly common, but not necessarily recommended unless you are in a terrible hurry. Especially during holiday seasons, they are often fully booked and can be rather unreliable, due to extreme weather conditions.
The best way to travel overland is by coach. It is the most popular form of transport, and modern, air-conditioned express coaches are available for long journeys. The more exclusive and more expensive option (if you don't want to drive your own or a hired car) is to take an inter-state taxi. As opposed to the metered city taxis, they operate on fixed tariffs.
Kuala Lumpur: The Place to Be
As the national capital and largest city, Kuala Lumpur naturally attracts most expats coming to work in Malaysia. It is the fastest growing metropolitan region in the country, both in terms of the economy and its population. The city is an important cultural, financial and economic center and has particularly attracted attention as an emerging hub for Islamic finance.
Kuala Lumpur offers high living standards to expats, but it's not exactly cheap. However, compared to its perennial rivals Singapore and Hong Kong, it is often considered to have a lower overall quality of life — but also a significantly less expensive cost of living.
Johor Bahru: The Ultimate South
Johor Bahru, on the Peninsula's southernmost tip, is another important industrial and commercial hub. Its economic significance is partly due to its proximity to Singapore: Johor Bahru is connected to the city state via bridge and causeway.
Johor Bahru doesn't only maintain close economic ties to Singapore, but also owes its high intake of tourists to the neighbor. As a result, it has a highly-developed retail and tourist industry.
George Town: Penang City
Finally there is George Town, the capital of the island and Malaysian state of Penang. Also referred to as Penang City by the locals, George Town has one of the most important ports of Malaysia. It is a significant trading center for rubber and agricultural products.
The population is mainly ethnic Chinese, followed by Malays, but due to the presence of many foreign trading companies, George Town has a relatively high percentage of foreign inhabitants. It is a very livable city, which was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 2008.
We do our best to keep this article up to date. However, we cannot guarantee that the information provided is always current or complete.

When Paul wrote this he was stating to the Jews at that time a paradox. The cross was a stumbling block and a point of shame for the Jews whom he was preaching too. Yet, Paul was directly stating it was the point of his salvation and something he was proud of. Not in himself or anything he accomplished but that Christ took his sins and the sins of the world to the cross. Another way to look at this verse is to see that Paul isn't focused on the worldly gifts or treasures. He is focused on the cross. His ministry and his life are devoted to it.
Product Reads: "But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." -Galatians 6:14
