I have been taking 100mls of Bondi Wheatgrass per day since January of this year. I would like to let people know how marvellous this stuff is. I have never been so well. Generally I get colds, flu and sinus and can feel very fatigued. I have not had one cold or flu or any sinus trouble since taking wheatgrass. I no longer have intravenous vitamin C and B and I am no longer taking the herbs and vitamins I was taking before. Ten gold stars for Bondi Wheatgrass!! Everyone should take wheatgrass!!
Our cat 'Leo' is our son. He is now 14 years old. I hand raised him from 4 weeks of age. He is our guardian angel and protector, spiritual teacher and healer, and delivers unconditional love!
In January 2005, it broke our hearts when Leo was diagnosed with CRF Chronic Renal (Kidney) Failure.
I hunted high and low for the reason why Leo should fall ill with this disease - toxic: tinned and packed foods, processed foods, inorganic foods, vaccines, pesticides-wormers and parasite drugs, antibiotics, all toxic and unrecognisable/foreign to the body- animal and human.
It was very hard for me to accept and I spent months blaming myself for his disease, as Leo was subjected to these for the first 7 years of his life due to the misguided and lack of education on my part.
It wasn't until 5 years ago I fell very ill myself. It was from this experience I learned and grew to explore my strong interest of alternative medicine, bach flowers, organic diet and nutrition.
I changed our diet and Leo's diet and lifestyle. I introduced wheatgrass into Leo's diet. Initially chopping it up finely and tossing it through Leo's meals - chicken & red meat causes too much stress and strain on the kidneys. WOW, not only did Leo smack his lips, but the dribble on his chin and the twinkle in his eye said it all. He wanted more!
Leo's energy and lust for life returned, his coat glossy and full of spunk, his urination Ph balance restored within 2-3 days from 2 months of cystitis (brought on by stress from CRF) and number two's passing proudly with ease, no more constipation!
For optimal health Leo is kept on 15ml of juice daily (6 days per week) and chopped wheatgrass every day. The wheatgrass replenishes Leo with vital minerals: Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium which is absolutely essential for support with CRF.
We are grateful to Rhonda, for it is because of her determination and success, 'Bond Wheatgrass Juice', she has enabled us to enrich and prolong our son Leo's life with strength and courage.
Rhonda, thank you and god bless you.
We have a lot of customers coming in on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They swear wheatgrass juice is the best hangover cure! It seems to work fantastically if you have been overdoing it.
As a freelance cameraman and sound recordist, I am constantly working exhausting hours and travelling extensively. I was beginning to feel run down and irritable. A friend suggested I try wheatgrass juice. Very quickly I realised I had more energy and my concentration improved dramatically. It also helps me recover from long international flights. I have been surprised at what a difference regular intake of the juice has made.
In my work as a yoga teacher, I come across many people with sports related injuries and others with long term health problems. Those who have included wheatgrass juice in their diet, have noted a significant improvement in their overall health, their ability to work out for longer periods and greater resistance to niggling colds and flu.
I also work with senior citizens in helping to devise lifestyle programmes to prevent the onset of osteoporosis. Now many of my regulars have taken to using wheatgrass juice. They insist they feel more energetic and on the ball. Wheatgrass juice boosts the immune system and helps with circulation disorders, so these benefits should come as no surprise.
I am a young mother of a busy six year old boy. I was beginning to feel very run down and lethargic. After taking wheatgrass juice, my energy levels have risen and I can chase my son all day. My son has also benefited from wheatgrass and has managed to avoid all the usual germs and sicknesses from kindergarten and school.
I can highly recommend the staff at Bondi Wheatgrass for their helpfulness in supplying information, their punctuality with deliveries and their friendly attitude. They are very well organised and they are a pleasure to deal with.
Bondi Wheatgrass Company has always been pleasant to deal with and efficient in their delivery service. They are also extremely consistent with their product.
Just a quick email to say thankyou for such a wonderful alternative to every-day dietary supplements. Since a friend suggested wheatgrass to me, I cannot look back. I have become an annoying advocate of wheatgrass to work colleagues and friends. I am no longer run-down and tired, but more energised all day. Thank you.

68. Winter Apparel
Though Pune is cold sometimes, I hardly use sweaters and jerkins when I am here. One of the windows of my house opens to the east, and the moment the Sun rises, my room is filled with warm Sunrays. It is always a pleasure to watch the red glowing Sun turning to saffron and then suddenly to milky white. I always smile at the luxury I have. May be because of this, and may be because of the morning rush, I can face Pune winter without much trouble. Actually I enjoy it.
I have some assumptions about life and about myself. One of them is that when I am in my own territory, I hardly feel discomfort. I guess that has to do not only with 'knowing the situation well' but also with 'having enough resources' at hand. I mean when it gets cooler, I can always pull out additional shawls or sweaters from cupboard within a minute. But when I am traveling, I have to depend on outside resources, so I am not that comfortable. One cannot carry luggage beyond certain limit when especially one believes in 'travel light' principle.
When the plane touched Delhi, I was expectantly watching for a sign of a good winter. But I had none. Then I thought that at least I will have some of it in Patna. We were there for three nights and two days. My local colleagues were feeling the cold wave, but I was not. In fact I was surprised to have such a moderate temperature there. I accepted the situation coolly and looked forward to cooler conditions at Allahabad.
During Patna-Allahabad night train journey, I was the only person in the compartment who did not feel cold. Getting down at three in the morning at Allahabad station too did not make any difference to me. There was no winter in Allahabad. From there to Delhi – again a night train journey – was the same. And Delhi was bit foggy but not at all cold –for me; others were enjoying it.
I was little disappointed. I had lot of 'cool' expectations, I had prepared myself for that and actually nothing happened. All my preparation proved out to be a complete waste. I just carried a lot of resource with me, without using it.
During return travel to Pune I was thinking about this episode. So many times in life you anticipate something and nothing happens. So many times you prepare yourself for a certain situation and the situation never occurs. So many times in life, others feel and experience something, which you are not able to experience. So many times in life, you live differently, even without knowing it. So many times your simple wishes are not fulfilled.
It has other side too. So many times one has resources: energy, skills, aptitude, innovative thinking and capacity – which are not used simply because one is either at a wrong place or at a right place but at a wrong time. In such situations, resources turn into burden.
May be I am at a wrong place.
May be I am at a right place but the time is wrong.
In any case, I just carry my resources (capacities) without using them.
What should I do? Change place? Change time? Change resources? Change expectations?
Hmm... I am just laughing and writing this post.
Because Pune is too cold today and I am using my winter apparel – at last!

For me it is the other way around! I carry less stuff and always end up in trouble...wondering when I will learn considering I need to travel a lot!ReplyDelete
About expectations, all that I can say is: Life is like that :)
Enjoy the Pune weather ! I am often reminded of the chill of Bangalore ovver there !ReplyDelete

reality bytes!
coadiYes …………it's really true when we expect something , and situation allows very dissimilar circumstances ……….but then the reality of the life is we never leave to do expectationsReplyDelete
Sojo, hmm.. Life is like that :)ReplyDelete
Kavi, many times I have found that the more personal one writes, the more universal it is :)
magiceye, reality bytes .. your bytes are more real than mine.
ashlesha, we never stop expecting is what keeps us going.
Delhi has not yet experienced the real winter yet this year.ReplyDelete
Pune should be just right temp throughout the year.
very true,you expect something and the thing does not happen.but how about you expect something and it really happens!!ReplyDelete
Thanks B K Chowlaji for your visit and for sharing your comment.ReplyDelete
Nutan, yes many unexpected things too happen. I keep on writing that aspect too.

Elias sees fast start fall apart in flash
'It got away very quickly,' McClendon says of Royals' 7-run 4th
SEATTLE -- Roenis Elias was just one pitch away from getting out of the fourth inning and keeping his team in the ballgame.
• Cast your Esurance All-Star ballot for #ASGWorthy players
Sure, he had already let up a big hit -- a 377-foot, two-run blast by Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas -- but with two outs in the fourth inning and a 3-2 count to left fielder Alex Gordon, he needed just one pitch to extend his night.
Instead, Elias missed with a fastball and plunked right fielder Alex Rios two pitches later to extend the Royals' inning, loading the bases for second baseman Omar Infante in what became a seven-run inning and an 8-2 Mariners loss on Wednesday night.
The fourth inning produced a drastically different result for Elias, who charged through the Royals' lineup in order over his first three innings, needing just 26 pitches to retire the first nine hitters he faced.
"To be truthful with you, the way the game started, I thought he was going to have a tremendous outing tonight," said Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon. "Real good command of the fastball. Changeup was good, breaking ball was good."
Thirty-six pitches and just two outs later, his night was finished, thanks in large part to a bases-clearing double by Infante that gave Kansas City a 5-0 lead.
"I'm not sure what happened. I felt good, it was just a bad day for me," Elias said through interpreter Fernando Alcala. "Everything was working well, they just put good swings on good pitches. It was just a bad day and I'm just going to stay positive for my next time out."
After the Salvador Perez flyout, five straight Royals reached base. All but one of them scored.
"We're still trying to figure that out," said McClendon of the fourth-inning collapse. "He was throwing a whale of a ballgame and just fell apart in the fourth inning. He couldn't get it back together."
Elias' speed never dropped -- he threw the same low-to-mid-90s fastball from pitch No. 1 to pitch No. 60 -- but a few of his fastballs elevated during the fourth inning, and the Royals capitalized.
Center fielder Jarrod Dyson doubled to left to score Infante and end Elias' night. Alcides Escobar then doubled off of reliever Vidal Nuno to tack another run onto Elias' stat line.
"It's just one of those days where it's a hitter's day," Elias said. "I just have to focus on the next one and keep working on making those pitches."
The seven-run, six-hit fourth took the Mariners out of a series finale in which several good things happened for Seattle's offense.
Despite leaving seven runners on base and going 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position, the Mariners logged nine hits. Catcher Mike Zunino finished with his first multi-hit game since May 28 and left fielder Franklin Gutierrez went 1-for-3 and drove in a run in his first Major League game since 2013.
"I wish I could tell you our guys were flat and they weren't fired up and weren't ready to play, but that's just not the case," McClendon said. "We came out with a lot of energy and I thought we were competing well and it just got away in the fourth. It got away very quickly."

There is a lot of news and leaks about the Windows 10 till now and we have the Windows 10 Technical Preview just few days ago. But, we haven't got any solid news on Windows 10 for Smartphones. However, we are expecting this news because Microsoft will surely use this new upcoming operating system for Smartphones too.
Soon, we can expect to get Windows 10 for Smartphones officially because this is being tested. A team of experts are testing Windows 10 on Smartphones at Microsoft, according to Nawzil. Two types of testing are now running at Microsoft, one is with Windows 8.1 and another is with Windows 10 that is surprising too.
The first update of Windows Phone 8.1 Update was revealed to Cortana and other regions and the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 will also start to Cortana soon. This will bring support for new processors allowing for sort settings too.
However, we do not know what will be the features that Windows 10 on phones will bring for us? However, there are some of the expectations like full Office touch, and multitasking like tablets that really required. Be with us and hope we will get more leak news from the internal testing process and its results.

ADRIAN — The Lenawee Humane Society found its resources put to the test nearly two weeks ago when it helped rescue some of the more than 200 animals removed from a rural property by authorities as part of a cruelty investigation.
The Humane Society is looking for monetary donations, flea preventive and cleaning supplies to boost its inventory and ongoing efforts to assist its animal population, according to a statement released Wednesday.
On Dec. 29, the Humane Society and other agencies were called to a Rome Township property where Lenawee County Animal Control needed help seizing animals from a home where allegedly there was no food or water and inadequate shelter. The Humane Society took 34 of the dogs deemed most critical, according to the statement.
On Jan. 3, Humane Society officials were called back to the scene where an additional 195 dogs were in need of removal. A newly formed Shelter Coalition — including members from the Humane Society of Branch County, Cascades Humane Society and Monroe County Humane Society — met at the property where authorities and professionals from the Jackson Animal Shelter already were assessing the animals.
Animal officials have been helping the seized animals physically and emotionally recover, including nursing puppies and animals with birth defects, health needs and injuries.
In addition to dropping off donations or supplies during the Humane Society's business hours, additional items may be viewed and purchased through the society's Amazon.com wish list at tinyurl.com/ycsvxrqb.
The property owner, Sharon Kay Evans, 53, was arraigned on a charge of abandoning or cruelty to 10 or more animals, a four-year felony.
Anyone with information about the case itself should call the Lenawee County Sheriff's Office at 517-263-0524.

Patient Testimonials
Spine Align Chiropractic Center provides excellent care in a professional and friendly environment. All patients are treated with respect and empathy.
L. Mary-Ann
I crawled into Spine Align back in February of 2006 with very bad muscle spasms in my low back. Drs. Lisa and Mark have helped me get back on my feet and back to work. I have been coming roughly once per week and find the treatment is very good and helpful and I urge you to come to Spine Align and check the office out if you have chronic back pain.
I have been receiving treatment from Spine Align for over ten years for a number of different issues. There was an auto accident and a couple of falls. The treatment has helped me tremendously. It is great to be able to include what are normal activities to others. It has overall made me feel much better. I would refer anyone to Spine Align for chiropractic care and have. As a matter of fact, I am waiting for a family member who came in for his first visit today!
I had TMJ issues for over a year and a half. The muscles in my jaw were very tight and I could hardly open my mouth. It was hard to chew tough or hard foods such as meat or pretzels. I had tried a mouth guard to stop grinding my teeth at night, physical therapy, muscle relaxants, and massage.
Nothing was working until I came to Spine Align in Greenville, NC where they did a combination of treatments targeted at the tight muscles and surrounding muscles. Through manipulation, adjustments and combo therapy, I saw and improvement and in just a few weeks the muscles were looser, the pain was diminished and I could eat better and I was sleeping well.
I come now for maintenance visits. I have no pain and no problems. I love it!
I started going to Spine Align several years ago. My back was killing me. They fixed me up, and helped with a program for long term improvement. I never thought I would have back problems but, their therapies are great. When I leave the office, I feel like a new man. Recently, I had shoulder problems and they helped with that too. They are great. They and their staff are a joy to deal with.
J. Moore
My first encounter with a Chiropractor was at the tender age of six, thanks to my smart mom. It seemed that my 'seasonal' allergies were over-lapping and my system was turning into one large antibiotic, that wasn't working.
In the ensuing decade there were many Chiropractors in my life; some great and some that should have sold shoes. My problems were not of the nature that could be cured, only made to be lived with easier. They were the results of car wrecks, broken bones, surgeries and just plain clumsy accidents. My neck and shoulder area ached like an infected tooth and my back felt like it should have belonged to someone else. The pain was to the point that it was impeding my day and I dreaded to see the sun come up; knowing I would have to get up too.
Four years ago was my first visit at SPINE ALIGN and when the appointment was over and the door closed behind me, I knew that this was my new and permanent Chiropractic home. All my old pains came with me plus a few new ones and Dr. Prusinski gave me hope; then proceeded to produce results. No she did not cure the problems but with her knowledge and skill my life, for the most part is back on my terms. She, Dr. Vellan and the entire staff make you feel like a person and not a number or an appointment time. The human spirit is an important part of the healing equation.
If you've never tried chiropractic treatment, be brave and go for it. The friends at SPINE ALIGN will be honest with you and let you know if they think they can help or not.
My name is Janet; I'm 67 years old and would trust these people with my grandchildren.
J. Stanton
I have been a patient at Spine Align since 1997. I was in a car accident in 1996. Had it not been for Spine Align and the Chiropractic care that I received there I would live with continual pain. This is my favorite doctor's office because I am always welcomed by a warm and friendly staff that make me feel like family. Dr. Mark is always smiling and treats me like his "only" patient. After a few treatments, I feel much better and my pain is controlled. I definitely believe in chiropractic care and recommend Spine Align to anyone who is suffering with back and neck pain. Also, adjustments on my sinus area really work! Thank you Spine Align for caring about your patients!

Cal Rolls Past Southern Miss
Aug 30, 2003
By GREG BEACHAM
AP Sports Writer
BERKELEY, Calif. - Reggie Robertson threw two touchdown passes andJames Bethea returned a blocked punt for a score as California beat SouthernMississippi 34-2 Saturday in the Golden Bears' home opener.
Adimchinobe Echemandu rushed for a career-high 127 yards - including a60-yard TD run - and tight ends Brandon Hall and Garrett Cross caught scoringpasses as Cal (1-1) shut out Southern Miss over the final 55 minutes of theschools' first-ever meeting.
The Bears got another impressive non-conference rout under coach JeffTedford with hard-hitting defense and fine special-teams play. Cal blocked twopunts, and Mike McGrath's interception in the final minute of the first halfset up a score.
Robertson was 9-of-14 for 142 yards, improving his hold on the starting job.J.J. Arrington rushed for 114 yards as Cal racked up 417 total yards againstthe Golden Eagles' vaunted defense.
Micky D'Angelo passed for 163 yards for Southern Miss, which lost its openerfor just the fifth time in coach Jeff Bower's 13 seasons. In their first gameever against a Pac-10 team, the Eagles had their lowest-scoring outing sinceTulane shut them out in 1995.
Cal's special teams had a big home debut under new coordinator Pete Alamar.Andy Briner blocked Luke Johnson's punt midway through the second quarter, andBethea returned it untouched for a score.
The Eagles' revamped offense under new coordinator Rip Scherer wasn't nearlyas impressive. Southern Miss got the game's first points on a safety when Calpunter Lucas Everett fumbled a snap out of bounds, but the Eagles neverseriously threatened to score against the Bears' first-string defense andfinished with just 277 total yards.
The Eagles' defense, which features five preseason all-Conference USA picks,was just as good as advertised while making three effective stands near thegoal line in the first half. But Southern Miss made huge mistakes on offenseand special teams, repeatedly forcing the defense to scramble back on the fieldafter turnovers.
D'Angelo was 16-of-26, but the junior quarterback took a beating from theblitzing Cal linebackers and defensive backs. Donnie McCleskey poppedD'Angelo's helmet off his head with a crushing sack late in the first quarter.
The Bears opened Tedford's second season in charge with a competitive 42-28loss to fifth-ranked Kansas State last week, and an enthusiastic crowd of33,552 was at Memorial Stadium for the home opener. Cal also debuted itsMomentum Turf - a new artificial-grass surface also used by the BaltimoreRavens.
McGrath intercepted a tipped pass in the final minute of the first half,setting up Hall's 4-yard TD catch. Cal then drove 70 yards early in the secondhalf, with Cross slipping behind the Southern Miss secondary for an easy30-yard score.
Echemandu, one of three tailbacks getting significant playing time for Cal,sprinted through the Eagles' defense for a score with 10:20 left. It was theBears' longest rush in three years.

Tanya Halel Reserve Pinot Noir 2007 and Chardonnay Eliya Reserve 2007 review
Tanya Halel Pinot Noir Reserve 2007 NIS 100
Tanya Eliya Chardonnay Reserve 2007 NIS 100
After having already tried and loved the Tanya Halel Reserve Merlot 2007 and read a few very interesting facts about this winery, (for instance, that the owner is a bit of an eccentric who lives in a cave and will only accept perfection at any price), I decided to search out and buy his Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to try.
I eventually tracked both wines down to a huge and very well stocked wine shop called Geffen at 34 Beit Hadfus, Givat Shaul, Jerusalem. The store manager, David, was very helpful and seemed to be quite knowledgeable. However the business card he gave me stated that they had an internet site (www.geffenwine.co.il) but when I tried it, the site did not exist! Anyway, prices there are pretty good. For instance, they had a number of sales on including Ramat HaGolan's Pinot Noir, NIS 130 for two!
If you have read my previous blogs then you would know that my favourite wine is based on the Pinot Noir grape and you would also know that there are few Israeli wineries that have had the guts to try and produce this wine and even fewer who have succeeded. So far, I have enjoyed only two Pinot Noirs. Every Ramat HaGolan vintage I have tried including the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 are all superb. Recently I reviewed the Gvaot Pinot Noir and thoroughly enjoyed this strawberry flavoured variety. I was intrigued to find out how Tanya winery would fare with this grape.
Regarding the Chardonnay, (as also mentioned in an earlier blog), I was speaking to a small vineyard owner about the Shomron region and he expressed his opinion that the region was not conducive to making white wine. However, after reading that Tanya strives for perfection I thought it worthwhile giving the Tanya Chardonnay a try.
The Geffen store was selling all Tanya Halel 2007 varieties for NIS 195 for two bottles. I phoned up a friend who agreed to take two bottles off my hands so I went and bought two bottles of Chardonnay 2007, one bottle of Pinot Noir 2007 and one bottle of Merlot 2007 giving the Merlot and one of the Chardonnays to her.
Both wines have the same three reliable hechshirim.
1. Machon L'Kashrus, HaRav Mordechai Ungar, New Square NY, U.S.A
2. "OK" Rabbi Don Yoel Levy, 391 Troy Avenue - Brooklyn, New York 11213
3. Local Certification by Rav Avraham Gisar, Ofra. Israel.
Tanya Halel Pinot Noir Reserve 2007
So, on Friday night, with great anticipation and expecting much, we opened the Pinot Noir 2007 and let it breath through Shalom Aleichem, Eishes Chayil, the kids brachos and a squabble which turned into a punching match between my two younger sons. Argument resolved, we came to the table and poured the wine.
For those who's Hebrew is less than perfect, here is a rough translation of the back label:
The back label informs us that this Pinot Noir has spent a whopping 20 months in French oak barrels. It further recommends to serve the wine at between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius. Consequently I left the wine out on the Shabbos table to reach near room temperature before we went to shul. I estimate that the bottle was indeed around this temperature when we opened it.
"This wine is made with Pinot Noir grapes grown in a vineyard unique in its cool climate and high altitude of a mountain ridge. The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 20 months. Further aging in the bottle will contribute to the wine's development and will enable it to reach its peak. Serving temperature is 18-20 degrees C. The wine has not been put through any filtering or shading processes."

Consequently I left the wine out on the Shabbos table to reach near room temperature before we went to shul. I estimate that the bottle was indeed around this temperature when we opened it.
Turning my wife's glass at an angle of 45 degrees and looking at the colour against the white Shabbos tablecloth I observed a very murky dark rusty brown colour. This is rather an odd colour for a Pinot Noir.
The wine's nose was light with a faint aroma of ripe black cherries but nothing much else.
Taste? It would not be true to say that this wine had overpowering rough tannins. It would be more accurate to say that this bottle of tannins had a slight taste of wine. My eldest son exclaimed that it was like stuffing a large dry cloth in your mouth. This is exactly what this wine tasted like. It was pretty much undrinkable. A complete waste of money. I'd like to ask someone if a wine like this, if kept for long enough would eventually calm down sufficiently so that it becomes drinkable or even enjoyable?
If this is the case then the winery, who obviously taste their wines before bottling ought to print on the bottle something like:
If this is the case then the winery, who obviously taste their wines before bottling ought to print on the bottle something like:
"Store on its side in a cool place for at least X years before opening."
To be fair, the back label does say that the wine will benefit from a bit of aging in the bottle but it does not specify for how long or indeed whether they recommend not opening the wine until after a certain amount of months/years.
Conclusion: A bitter wine and even bitter disappointment after spending so much money. Perhaps if one has the money to spare, it might be interesting to try this wine again after a few years. By all means, if you see this wine on offer, buy it but whatever you do, don't drink it now in 2011/2012!
Tanya Eliya Chardonnay Reserve 2007
We opened the Chardonnay for morning Kiddush. The back label incredibly in my opinion, tells us to open this wine at between 8 degrees and 12 degrees Celsius. 8 degrees??? That's really cold! You would drink a dessert wine like a sweet Muscat at this temperature but not a delicate Chardonnay, surely? One would only drink whisky or wine at such a low temperature if the intention is to dull down the over powering either sweet or bitter flavour. For instance, Johnny Walker Black Label blend is designed for the American market that enjoys putting ice in their whisky. The scotch will show a sweet barley flavour even at low temperatures but just try drinking this straight and it will taste bitter. Likewise, try drinking a brandy matured Muscat at room temperature and it will taste like sickly syrup.
|Sweet Muscat. Drink chilled.
I ignored the recommendation because it just didn't make any sense and opened the Tanya Chardonnay at around 15 degrees Celsius. Cold enough to be refreshing but not cold enough that it masks the subtle flavours, textures and layers.
The label tells us that this wine spent 10 months in French Oak barrels so you would expect at least a hint of wood flavour and smell.
The colour was a typical Chardonnay yellow. Smelling the wine after swirling it for a few seconds in the glass exposed delicate subtle aromas of tropical fruits and cream.
Tasting the wine uncovered a light taste of slightly milky unidentified tropical fruits but where was the wood? Had the label told me that the wine had been kept in stainless steel tanks I would have believed it. It was pleasant enough but with no aftertaste to speak of. Utterly forgettable.
|Golan Heights Yarden, Organic and Katzrin Chardonnays
There was nothing unpleasant about the Tanya but is was simply lacking flavour and body. Don't forget that this wine cost NIS 100! In contrast, the superb Ramat HaGolan (Golan Heights) "Yarden" range, whether the Katzrin, Organic or standard Yarden Chardonnays (costing less than this one) are frankly in a different (higher) league. Actually, truth be told, the Ramat HaGolan "Gamla" (their middle range) is far superior to this Tanya at half the price.
|Gamla Chardonnay
The Golan Heights Chardonnays possess smooth deep creamy flavours of ice cream eaten with a wooden spoon, bananas, melon, peach, lemon and more. In comparison, this Tanya Chardonnay was two dimensional and boring. In my opinion, the Tanya compared very favourably with the Ramat HaGolan budget "Golan" range costing around a third of the price of the Tanya.
|Budget Chardonnay and very good value
I cannot tell you how disappointed I was with these wines. After enjoying their Merlot so much I was hoping these would be of equal quality. What a shame.

RAWAI: East 88 Beach Lounge at Serenity Resort & Residences
With a pool at its heart and the sea and sky stretching out beyond it, East 88 serves up a near-perfect tropical tableau for idling away a sunny afternoon. Watch yachts and long-tail boats glide by in the distance while egrets wade close by in the shallows. Coveted spots are the beachfront double sunbeds, ideal for contemplating the changing hues of the sea. With families welcome, expect to see (and hear) lots of splashy exuberance in the pool. Night time brings smooth DJ tunes.
Try this: Sex on Friendship Beach – a nod to its neighbouring resort, this cocktail delivers sweetness with a kick, a blend of vodka, peach liqueur, orange and cranberry juice, and a dollop of banana syrup.
BANG TAO: XANA Beach Club
Brought to Phuket by Singapore's famous club, Attica, XANA Beach Club combines a stunning location, big pool, imaginative cocktail and food menus, great sounds – and, day or night, style to die for.
XANA'S beach loungers, day beds by the pool and VIP cabanas for up to 10 guests make XANA the perfect place to chill out, whether it's a lazy Sunday afternoon or a late night get-together.
XANA is also the perfect venue for events of all kinds – from stylish product launches to corporate incentive events to private gatherings to weddings – and comes with the unique advantage of onsite accommodation at Angsana Laguna Phuket Hotel.
KAMALA: Sienna Rocks & Vanilla Sky Bar & Lounge at Cape Sienna Hotel Phuket
This decidedly 'kid-unfriendly' resort bar clings to the rocks at the 'Millionaire's Mile' end of Kamala Bay. Though not on the beach, its sandy floor and sun loungers offer a stylish sunbathing alternative, especially if you opt for a soak and swim in the glittering white-marble infinity pool (non-guests of Cape Sienna pay 1,000 baht for pool use). Though the bland pop music selection adds little to the ambiance, judging by the number of people seen snoozing poolside this is a prime spot for a peaceful retreat. Be sure to order a ginger and lemongrass martini for some afternoon zip.
Best to go: For a fab Friday forget-about-the-week escape, stop in at Sienna Rocks for its daily two-for-one happy hour from 3-5pm, then hop across the road and upstairs to the stunning rooftop Vanilla SkyBar in time for a sunset wine and tapas session.
CHALONG: Phuket Yacht Club
With more salt than style, the Phuket Yacht Club is a casual open-air waterfront hangout where sailors gather around the bar to trade tales and tips, yet it's not so clubby that landlubbers seeking refreshment don't feel welcome. In fact, you're just as likely to get roped into a discussion on golf handicaps or local politics as the results of the last regatta. Handy for sea lovers, you can motor your dinghy right up to the club and tie it up to the pontoon pier or haul it ashore up the boat ramp. Service runs on tropical time so don't expect a speedy meal – all the better for savouring those sea breezes.
We like: Views of the Chalong Bay panorama, taking in the pier, Khao Khat, Lon Island and dozens of bobbing yachts in the bay. Borrow the bar's binoculars for a better look.
Best to go: Happy hour from 5-7pm, to save an extra 10 baht on the already well-priced beer.
CAPE PANWA: Baba Nest at Sri Panwa Villa Resort
Sri Panwa's swish Baba Poolclub was apparently not lofty or exclusive enough for some, thus Baba Nest was created to give the elite set a higher-up hideaway spot. This platform on the top of a private villa features a wraparound pool and incredible sweeping views across a south Phuket seascape. Bean-bag cushions and low round tables lend an intimate, playful air. Inside is a sparkling white dining lounge with a roof-covered terrace to escape into if the winds pick up strength, which are known to sometimes send the sashimi flying. With prices to match Baba's elevated heights, be prepared for a splurge. Reservations essential.
We like: The Baba Daiquiri for sweet refreshment or, for something more tangy, the Sake Mojito. Best to go: Sunset is a must, for the 360º view of the blazing sky.
KATA: Boathouse Wine & Grill & RE KÁ TA Beach Club
The first spot in Phuket to bring sophistication to the sands, The Boathouse recently emerged from an extensive makeover and is now looking poised to reel in a new generation of wining and dining globetrotters. Wine lovers, indeed, are sure to salivate over the big red menu listing more than 800 selections. With friendly wait staff helpful almost to a fault, you're treated like royalty here – though expect to pay royal prices, too, for the French and Thai fare. The Re Ka Ta beach club, opened in late November, promises to ante up the beach chic with poolside dining and an all-new menu.
We like: The marvellous mojito cocktail – fresh, zingy and perfect for toasting the setting sun.
Best to go: Happy hour from 5-7pm to enjoy a sundowner with 50 percent off drinks (except wine).

I finished both the phoenix pendant and a pair of earrings for a friend yesterday. Feels good to keep moving forward. Since I have been caring for my mom full time the last 3 years it seems like I get slower and slower in my jewelry work each year.
Just my attempt to write about how I do my art, why I do it and what inspires me. Thanks for reading.

phoenix progress #2
I finished the four enamel shield shapes for the phoenix last week and Chelsea choose #3:
I'll probably use the others someday in other pendants. I have made enough progress on the phoenix that I'm soldering down the bezels, the silver balls and the cut out copper wings today. The little sticks of solder laying on the neck will melt and then I can attach balls there too:

I love looking at the roughness of everything at his stage, on the burnt surface of the soldering block. When it is finished it will be so totally different.

cutting, stamping, doming
Last Friday I wrote that I would get started on enameling the phoenix over the weekend - here it is Thursday and I'm just now at the point where I can start to enamel (things seem to take longer and longer all the time!). Today I finished cutting out, stamping and doming the copper and silver shapes that I will soon (I always say that) be able to start enameling.
The shield shapes are going to be potential phoenix bodies and the oval shapes with BE HERE NOW stamped on them are going to be potential rings. The circle on the far left is going to be a pendant for my sister. Generally I like to make multiples of enamels for a major piece so the customer can have a choice which would be their favorite.

phoenix progress
Today we have decided on the final shape of the phoenix pendant and where the bails will go on the back. I'll get started this weekend enameling the "body".
I really do love the day and age we are living in now. With digital cameras and email it only takes a minute or two to get a photo of a sketch ready to send for approval. The customer can stay home and so can I. Seems too good!

a look at the design process
Here is a photo of an artwork that Chelsea wanted me to use as a design jumping off point for a phoenix pendant - her hope was that it would have purple/blue colors and red/pink colors like the painting along with warm brown/orange colors so she can wear it with both warm and cool colors:
First step - start making sketches - even if I don't really like the first ones they are part of the process to find out what works:
Pick out and play around with colors:
Then put them together to show the client to see what she thinks:
Chelsea got back to me and did like the design but would like me to adjust the top of the wings. I'll try to keep this journal updated with it's progress!

earrings assembly
Right now I'm working on 5 pairs of earrings - in a batch. It's easier to get all the bezels made at the same time, all the silver cut out and filed at the same time and do each stage's work as if I'm my own little assembly line. Where I'm at today:
Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday I will have everything soldered together and perhaps even the stones set and everything polished...

a little about polishing stones
Just for interest - photos of a project I'm doing - creating a stone to fit in this ring setting. The original stone broke and was lost and the customer asked me to create a new stone and reset it. Shown with it's future setting and with the size of stone I started with. An 8 by 10mm oval seemed like a good starting point to grind down to the 4 by 8.5mm oblong size I need for the setting:
The little black onyx stone on it's dop stick - I spent yesterday grinding it to this shape with 120 diamond grit. The dop stick is basically just a wooden dowel with dopping wax melted on the end. The dopping wax is very sticky when hot and pliable so it can be attached to the stone but at room temperature it gets hard and can hold the stone while you work on it. When I'm all done I will put it in the freezer and the stone should pop off easily:
This is the spool polisher I will use today to get a nice polish on the little stone. Those syringes in back hold grades of diamond cream which correspond to the different areas on the spool that I will apply the cream to. I will work the stone from 350 grit up through 50,000 grit to a high shine:
I will need to do some adjustments to the silver ring setting too. I think the original stone broke and fell out because it needed a more stable base for the stone so I will be adding a sterling plate to make a solid bottom for the setting.

ceramic faces
Last month I got a new kiln - the Paragon Quickfire 6 and ever since I have been working at creating more ceramic faces to use in jewelry making.
It's just a small kiln - 6" by 6" interior but that is perfect for my jewelry making - easy to fill for a firing so I can fire more often and it is FAST - 1 hour and 40 minutes for a bisque fire and less than 30 minutes for a glaze fire. I'm excited about making many, many, MANY pairs of faces of all colors and glaze textures to use in earrings. What I think is so neat is that even though I am trying to make the faces come out of my push mold as uniform as possible still they each end up being individuals - one is more oriental, one more negroid, one more caucasian, one happy, one sad, one more introspective, one very serious, one old, one a child, one might even be a man, another definitely a beautiful woman. It is so much fun to play with the different glazes - some aren't turning out how I imagined from the photos in the catalogs but I am getting many happy accidents.

preparing to enamel
I spent the morning cleaning up my enameling table in my studio. It has been months since I enameled anything and the table had become the catchall for the room. Too bad I didn't take a "before" photo - the change would really have been impressive .
Here's a close up of the samples that I made for my enamel colors. They all are fired onto a copper base with the enamel color then applied either directly over the copper, over copper with a clear flux base, over white, directly over silver foil, over silver foil with clear flux base or over gold foil. The colors sometimes react to the metals in odd ways so it is good to make samples first to see what they will look like.
Soon I hope to post about how I torch fire the enamels...

working methods
Right now I'm trying to finish up some of the things I have had on the back burner for years. I start things - design things, maybe cut out some of the parts and make the bezels for the stones but then quit - I get a commission or just lose interest and never get back to them. The parts end up in ice cube trays so I can keep things separate and (hopefully) work on them later. They just keep building up and building up! So today I'm going to get into them and see what appeals to me to finish. Plus I have a commission to make a pendant for my friend Paula and I like to work on a couple things at a time - so I don't have to get my hands dirty polishing on just one thing...

Providence is embarking on an innovative approach to best serve the healthcare needs of the community. Over the course of the next several years, we will transform the hospital campus into an integrated "Health Village" to encompass more than traditional healthcare services.
The health village, in concert with our existing hospital based services, will serve as an integrated, multi-use campus that meets the area's needs through a more holistic approach: addressing health, environmental and social needs as healthcare continues to evolve and the population changes. As the future of healthcare is now centered in the community, we are developing this new approach to provide care for residents that's personalized and meaningful to them as individuals.
"We have begun to see the impact of a changing healthcare landscape both locally and nationally. That's why we engaged in thoughtful discussions to explore how Providence can best contribute to meeting the variety of health needs of our community in a sustainable way," said Darcy K. Burthay, President and CEO of Providence. "With a continued commitment to our mission and recognizing the gaps in services, we considered the current and future availability of health services in the region in the context of significant income and health disparities, along with continued economic pressures from payers and ongoing uncertainty related to healthcare reform."
Providence will remain dedicated to serving all with special attention to persons living in poverty and those most vulnerable.
Providence and the Daughters of Charity have served residents of Washington, D.C., for more than 150 years, with a legacy that dates back to the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. Throughout the years, Providence has adapted to the changing needs of the community. The transformation to this Health Village concept is a continuation of that legacy and our commitment to serving others where and how we are most needed.

Things to do before bringing chicks home? Hmmm…dream, plan, obsess, look at baby chick pictures on Google and join all the chicken pages and Facebook groups you can find! haha, seriously though, tell me you haven't!
I had obsessed (and in some ways still obsess) over raising my own chickens for eggs long before I was given the opportunity to actually do it. But let me tell you, as soon as I had the opportunity, I jumped on it! We were in our homestead only a few weeks when one of our local feed stores had their chick days. I tried to talk myself out of it, I really, really did, but….I had been wanting to raise my own chickens since our first daughter was born in 2002.
So, the whole family loaded up in our Tahoe and headed into town, 45 minutes away. I kept telling everyone we were just going to look. I'm not sure if I was trying to convince them or myself. That afternoon, 10 new baby chicks had made themselves at home on our homestead. It was an amazing experience and from that single experience, I learned so much about baby chickens. Like they are noisy and sometimes stinky. They are afraid of human hands until they learn we aren't predators. They don't really need that heat light ALL the time, like us humans think they do. And if you cuddle them enough, they will become super friendly.
Although I had done a ton of research on how to care for chickens, it really was just basic knowledge. Until you are raising these live little chatterboxes, one will never understand the joy they bring to their owners. The things to do before you bring chicks home won't break your budget and are quite simple to do! I suggest doing these things before you bring home chicks for the first time so you'll be better prepared for their arrival.
Things To Do Before Bringing Chicks Home
Educate yourself
Hands down, this is the single most important thing you can do. Educating yourself about baby chicks, and chickens, in general, will save you a lot of frustration. Unless of course, you like playing the guessing game. There is a ton of information on the internet these days about every topic imaginable and chickens are no different. I have learned much of what I know from experts like Lisa Steele from Fresh Eggs Daily, Joel Salatin from Polyface Farm, and Justin Rhodes from Abundant Permaculture.
There is a lot of weird, quirky things that chickens do that are absolutely normal. Had I never learned what molting was, I would have been certain that my chickens had some skin disease and were dying on me. Dust baths? For sure would have panicked and thought my girls were having seizures.
Decide on which breed(s)
If you will only be raising chickens for eggs, then you are going to want to raise chickens that are eggcelent (see what I did there haha) for egg production. Oddly enough, not all chickens are created equal when it comes to the egg laying business. Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpingtons, and in our experience Brahmas have been the best egg layers on our homestead. Our Brahma (Mabel) and Rhode Island Red (Rhonda) will quite frequently give us two eggs a day.
Our Easter Eggers aren't terrible layers, they do give us about 2-3 eggs a week, which is sufficient for a smaller family. What I like about these girls is their eggs turn my basket into a beautiful rainbow of colors – with blues and greens. Although our Easter Egger Star has been flying out of the run and escaping to the neighbor's to lay her eggs in their flower beds.
Pick local breeder or hatchery
This truly is personal preference. When we moved to our homestead we didn't have connections, so our first flock came from a feed supply store. They were healthy girls and they are still giving us eggs today. We have also purchased day-old chicks from Cackle Hatchery and we have been truly blessed by them. They were all healthy upon arrival, and every one of them made it through the shipping process. They answered any and all questions we had. Since we moved to the new homestead, we are now closer and will be able to go pick up our chicks instead of having them shipped.
Build or purchase your brooder
Don't make the mistake of stopping to pick up your brooder supplies until the day you are bringing home your chicks. Doing this will force you to keep those little noisemakers in the box you brought them home in for longer than necessary (ask me how I know). A brooder does not have to be expensive, in fact, many people use the plastic totes you can purchase at Wal-Mart and they poke a few holes in the top. Our very first brooder was 2 plastic pools, with screws loosely holding it together. We cut a hole on the bottom of the top pool and covered it with chicken wire. Our girls loved their little home and our dog loved to sit and watch them scurrying around playing. D is working on a newer, more permanent brooder that will allow us to raise more than just 10 chicks and a few turkeys.
Shop for supplies
Baby chicks don't need much, but there are some things you'll want to have on hand before you bring them home.
- We use a non-GMO organic chick starter and then around 10-12 weeks, we switch over to a non-GMO grower feed. It won't be until your girls start laying that you will put them on layer feed if you choose not to free range (which we don't anymore).
- They will also need a little box with a little dirt (preferably from the area you plan on placing their coop), herbs, and diatomaceous earth. Chickens, even baby chickens like to wiggle and wriggle around in the dirt and they will be quite happy if you provide this for them.
- A roost – we just use a small tree limb off of one of our trees on our property. D used his Dremel to cut holes in the ends of the brooder and we put it through the holes. Once they are big enough, they will hop up on it and sleep at night.
- Pine chips – Most feed stores carry wood chips and all Tractor Supplies do as well. You'll need to place about 2-3 inches in the bottom of the brooder in order to catch any droppings and provide a safe spot for your chicks to walk, run, and jump around on. The last thing you want is your baby chicks slipping and sliding all over the place. Also, consider reading up on the deep liter method and using this in your brooder as well.
- Feeder and Waterers – We just use basic feeders and waterers. These have a round base with holes in it for feed and the other is like a little bowl on the bottom that you screw a mason jar into. They are only a couple bucks and last a long time. Or, if you'd like, you can always make your own. Depending on how many chicks you have will determine how many you will need. Trust me, they will crowd around, on top, and try to push each other out-of-the-way to eat and drink – so you do want to be sure you have enough room for all of the chicks to be able to eat and drink.
- Heat lamp with a red bulb – You'll need this to keep your girls warm. Baby chicks are prone to getting cold and if too cold, they won't move around and may not get up to eat or drink. They will try to conserve their energy. The best way to know if your chicks need the heat lamp is to watch them. We moved here in March of 2017 and that April was a cold, rainy month. I would turn on the heat lamp in the morning when it was time to refill their feed and water. After a little while, if they were scurrying around happy, I would leave it on, but if they were lying around, separate from one another — a sign they are too warm — then I knew it was time to turn it off.
- Cotton swabs, cotton balls, and a small plastic bowl (preferably one that can be thrown away) – Baby chicks sometimes will get what is called pasty butt. This often happens after they've experienced the stress of being shipping in the mail. Pasty butt happens when poop gets stuck around the vent of a chicks rump and restricts them from being able to go number two. You'll need to remove this as soon as possible because it will cause your baby chick(s) to become impacted and die.
Grow herbs
Why? Because little chicks and big chicks alike love them! Plus, they are super beneficial for many different things. Herbs will help boost your chickens immune system and help them fight off illness and disease. They will help keep parasites at a distance and solve many nutritional issues. Herbs are an excellent way to keep your chickens healthy, naturally!
Outside nursery area
I suggest setting up an outside nursery area for your baby chicks to start pecking around at the dirt and eating some grass. We like to place our's next to our big girl coop, yet in an area where the big girls can't access the little girls and the little girls can't escape to the big girls. It is best to keep the little chicks separated from the big girls until they are large enough to defend themselves. Chickens do have a pecking order if a big hen like our Mabel (who is a pretty big Brahma) ever pecked a baby chick, it would most likely be fatal.

I am a critic of Buy-and-Hold and an advocate of Valuation-Informed Indexing. The one difference between the two strategies is that Buy-and-Holders say that it is not necessary to time the market while Valuation-Informed Indexers believe it is imperative to change your stock allocation in response to big valuation shifts so as to keep your risk profile roughly constant over time. I wrote two earlier guest blogs here describing the practicalities of Valuation-Informed Indexing.
The purpose of this post is to describe and comment on Vanguard Founder John Bogle's views on Valuation-Informed Indexing. Bogle is widely recognized as the primary advocate of Buy-and-Hold alive on Planet Earth today, as I am the primary advocate of Valuation-Informed Indexing. The surprising truth is that, despite common misperceptions, the two of us are not all that far apart in our investing views!
Here are Bogle's words on Valuation-Informed Indexing: "Big moves out of stocks should not be done at all. Tactical asset allocation — I should say strategic asset allocation rather than tactical — can be done at very rare times, so rare and so difficult to observe, maybe six times in an investor's lifetime, three times when the market is stupidly high and three times when stupidly low."
"Big moves should not be done at all."
This is the one comment that suggests hostility on Bogle's part towards Valuation-Informed Indexing. The most likely annualized 10-year return for stocks when they are selling at the prices that applied in 1982 is 15 percent real. In 2000, the number was a negative 1 percent. That justifies a big allocation change, perhaps from a 90 percent allocation in 1982 to a 30 percent allocation in 2000. A change from a 90 percent allocation to a 30 percent allocation is a big change and Bogle is here rejecting that possibility out of hand.
Still, I believe that his other words suggest an openness to the concept. I believe that, if Bogle developed a deeper understanding of how Valuation-Informed Indexing really works, he would be less dismissive.
For example, the ordinary procedure would be to go from a 90 percent allocation to a 60 percent allocation at one point and then only years later go to 30 percent stocks. In that event, there would never be an allocation shift of more than 30 percentage points made at a single time. Is a 30 percent allocation shift too big in Bogle's eyes? Perhaps. But perhaps not.
"I should say strategic asset allocation rather than tactical."
It made me very happy to hear Bogle say these words. I have had discussions about VII with many experts in the field. Even those who are supportive often refer to the allocation shifts that must be made as being "tactical" in nature. No! There is nothing "tactical" about getting your stock allocation percentage right. There is no decision that an investor makes that is more important than his choice of a stock allocation. The allocation shifts made by Valuation-Informed Indexers are strategic in nature.
"Maybe six times in an investor's lifetime, three times when the market is stupidly high and three times when stupidly low."
This statement gets it precisely correct. Some have the misperception that Valuation-Informed Indexers need to check P/E10 values daily or make allocation changes monthly. Nothing could be further from the truth. As Bogle says, allocation shifts should be made about once every 10 years on average.
"Can be done at very rare times"
I don't entirely agree with Bogle's characterization that a change made six times in an investor's lifetime is a "very rare" change.
I don't agree even a tiny bit with any hint of a suggestion that may be heard in these words that it is not of critical importance to make the infrequent allocation shifts (Where Bogle uses the word "can," I would use the word "must"). The academic research shows that those six changes will permit the investor to obtain far higher returns at greatly diminished risk, delivering enough benefits in the typical case to permit the investor to retire five to ten years earlier than his Buy-and-Hold counterpart. That's no small thing.
"So difficult to observe"
This language points to the course of Bogle's confusion about this strategy, in my assessment. The suggestion is that investors will not know when they need to make the allocation shifts. But there is nothing even a tiny bit difficult involved in knowing when an allocation shift is needed.
The historical data shows that stocks are virtually a risk-free asset class when selling at fair value or less and are insanely dangerous when selling at two times fair value. Is there anyone who is not capable of understanding why he or she should be going with a lower stock allocation when the asset class is insanely dangerous than when it is virtually risk-free?
The other possibility is that Bogle is pointing here to the reality that the investor cannot know when prices will peak and then start heading downward. If that is the concern, the remark is entirely correct but betrays a misunderstanding of how Valuation-Informed Indexing works.
Valuation-Informed Indexers do not engage in short-term timing. We do not know when prices are likely to turn and we do not pretend to know. The fundamental principle that makes Valuation-Informed Indexing so powerful a strategy is that there is no need for investors to be able to time price shifts to be able to take advantage of the benefits obtained by investing more heavily in stocks when the long-term value proposition is strong and less heavily when the long-term value proposition is weak.
Bogle is not a Valuation-Informed Indexer. But I do not view him as being entirely unsympathetic to the concept. I believe that we will win Bogle over in time and that he will provide a huge help in promoting the strategy to millions of middle-class investors. I certainly hope that it turns out that way!

I am not a tailor but I perform closely with the clothing industry accountable for clothes factory workers with various uniforms. The jackets are also available in a assortment of colors, which makes them very appealing to me. I know numerous of my friends prefer North Face fleece jackets, but I can't see spending the additional amount of money when a Columbia fleece jacket meets my wants exactly.
Women just adore it when they can make trends perform for them in their personal individualistic way. I have owned several fleece jackets over the years, and Columbia is nonetheless my preferred. Great choice, I have always struggled to find boots that do not appear like a pair of Wellies flapping in the wind! The each day fashion which is a mix of ethnic and casual wears are the most sought ones. It is so nice to be in a position to play dress up again Dresses have come back in a big way this year. If that proves as well pricey or difficult, there are several web sites that offer historic clothing patterns. Instead of a tailored costume, a two-piece suit, or a woolen dress, many women wore knitted dresses.
These are just two ladies sizes, but no matter what your size, wearing the most recent fashion trends which you like, can take the eye away from the shape of your physique and onto the entire look. Brass gears, fittings, leather, and rivets are all plentiful in modern Steampunk style. Mine is not up to par yet, but I am functioning on it. I would be very interested in your feedback on my dating ideas for women lens. Prior to the advent of style models, actresses, singers, and dancers modeled the clothes. I lately acquired an antique sewing machine, and in a single of the drawers I discovered a tiny bottle of Paris Fashion White Shoe Soap. Do oneself a favor – check out he latest winter coats at Amazon… So many excellent coats to select from, most at great costs !
Turn out to be your personal individual stylist and go over the variety of accessories for females just before pondering over what could get you that excellent pout. They've been faithfully married to dozens of trends and fads over the years, but they've kept their choices open, a feat unmanaged by no other clothes item ever, except maybe their personal correct really like, denim jeans. As 1 of the newest online buying sites in the country, it gives an impressive collection of clothes apparel, footwear, necklaces and much a lot more. Most females attest to its performance even in performing other sports like walking and biking. Would you pass this longer statement coat by, not even think of attempting it on… Well, you may just be afraid of style.
However, if you want to remain on trend, and make a statement, choose an accessory on red or 1 of the brighter hues of winter.. I suggest if your base colour (shirt , trouser, coat) is muted, such as charcoal, black, brown, add some color to make your outfit work for you…. A Deep Teal, Cedar-wood, Raspberry Wine is a spectacular with the basics.

I Wonder If Apple Computers Is Hiring Virus Writers/Hackers To Ruin Google's Android Operating System?
Some people might be aware that Google released an Open-Source-Mobile-OS-Platform called "Android". Unlike Windows Mobile, PalmOS, iPhoneOS, ect; Android is Open-Source. Much in the same way JavaME is for Standard-Mobile-Phones. Which means Anyone can alter it. This is done so more people can create Free & Pay Applications for the OS. Mozilla's Firefox and Thunderbird clints are examples of Open-Source software. You can get the software's Source-Code from their web site and do really whatever you want with this. Open-Source is also a ((PLAGUE)) to companies like Microsoft and Apple Inc, because both of those companies charge crazy-high prices for their software.
I was surprised that not too long after Google released their very First Android-Powered-PDA on T-Mobile USA's network; that some piece of trash created a Virus for the OS. Virus Writers are the lowest of the low when it comes to the Tech-World. They spend their free time hiding behind computer screens; finding new ways to hurt others. They are Cowards to say the least. Even some pathetic purse snatcher steals from people Face-to-Face. So I ((HATE)) Hackers & Virus Writers; which are often times one-in-the-same.
But when I started thinking more about this problem, I relaized that Apple Inc faces the biggest problem from an Open-Source-Mobile-OS. They sell the iPhone-PDA; which I have (NOT) been impressed with at all. But people buy the PDA because Humans can be Brainwashed into doing anything. So many people just want to fit-in, so they follow the Current-Trends. Besides the iPhone being a complete waste of money in my opining; there is a bigger issue at play. Apple has 100% control over their iPhone OS. They can prevent anyone they want from creating applications for the OS. And when they do allow a company to create software for their iPhone; they can charge Pretty Much Anything They Want To. In contrast, Android is Open-Source. So let's say I wanted to create a new peice of software. I can either create it for Apple, and be forced into their Bull **** terms. Or I can just create FREE software for Android. Guess which side will end up winning? To find out just look at Standard-Mobile-Phones. Something like the BREW-OS; which is what a carrier like Verizon Wireless uses, has Royalty-Issues, and Terms created by the company who owns the software rights; Qualcomm. JavaME, which is owned by Sun Micro Systems is Open-Source. So where BREW is ((BARELY)) supported; JavaME can be found on cell phones all over the PLANET.
It's not a crazy idea that a company like Apple Inc; who NEEDS royalties badly; would then hire Third-Party-Hackers to do ((Everything)) in their power to Ruin Android's chances. The iPhone ISN'T the first PDA; it is just the first to offer some of the more advanced features. So what will happen if in 5 years; Apple is still Milking the very same design of the iPhone? Just creating worthless updates that other NOTHING in the way of new features. While at the same time, Android is then found on hundreds of devices worldwide? Apple would then be weaken, and Possibly Dead. Look at Palm Inc. They created a powerful PDA in the form of the Treo 600; fixed some of the bugs with the Treo 650; then did Absolutely Nothing for years. Palm Inc just kept milking the same Core-Design of the Treo and made these little so-called updates; that ended up really just being a trick to Con customers into buying their newest Treo's. Now look at the company. Palm Inc is on the verge of going out of business
So I wouldn't be shocked if Google within the next year or two; files a Lawsuit against Apple: claiming that Apple hired Hackers to ruining the imagine of Android. And if you think my thoughts are really out-there; then you don't follow Tech all that closely. I have lost track of how many lawsuits are filed by Tech companies, Against other Tech-Companies; related to issues like this.
((NOTE: I Have Disabled Commenting. This Hub Is About (MY) Feelings & Thoughts On The New Wave Of Viruses For The Google Android-OS.

Especially When Those Comments Would Be Bias; Based On Your Own Personal Likes/Dislikes. Sorry, But I Don't Want To Debate Anything, With Anyone. I Hope You Understand.))

2014 was certainly an interesting financial year for us. I had a major car accident in February which costed us about some $4000 overall after our deductible and the cost to replace the car (insurance covered a bulk of it, but we bought a slightly newer model). Jonathan was laid off in March which while gave us a good boost due to the severance, plenty of the severance was used up because he stayed unemployed for some 2.5 months. He also splurged a little with a riding lawn mower and a laptop. I also purchased a desktop computer.
Frankly, if we didn't have the severance we would have to tap into our emergency savings. We spent the whole year fixing up major parts of the house (the bathroom, the air exchanger, the driveway. Cars gave us more expenses with a minor repair on one of them, a new set of wheels, as well as purchase of snow tires for both vehicles.
I had anticipated around $142,000 in spending but we went slightly over with $152,000.
People are shocked when I tell them that's how much we spend per year. What could we possibly be spending our money on?!
Housing, which includes mortgage, property taxes, home maintenance, home insurance, and utilities made up the biggest portion of our budget – a whooping 43% of our money is spent there. Mortgage alone takes up over 20% of our total spending! Renovation expenses were unexpected this year – did not expect to do the driveway or replace the air exchange.
Kids are the next biggest expense. Not including the increased cost of car, housing, etc. just their care, clothing, activities, toys, etc. make up 20% of our spending. Yep, we are spending as much on kids as we are on our mortgage. The kids go to a pre-school for 7.5 hours per week (3x, 2.5 each time), and the rest is nanny time at home. Needless to say, nanny is the big chunk of the cost (over 90%).
Groceries are the next big expense, 12% of our spending– which is about $18,000 annually. This is a fairly large budget, but it includes everything we would buy at a store that doesn't quality as something for the car or furniture. Absolutely anything we pick up from Costco or Superstore. It feeds 4 adults (2 males who might as well as be horses), 2 females, and 2 kids. Fresh produce is probably the biggest chunk of this expense, followed by dairy. We are big on dairy – we spend close to $60 a week on dairy alone.
Auto was the next big expense this year, 11% of our spending. It wasn't suppose to be, but it was due to unforeseen circumstances (the car accident). My husband and I work in two different part of the cities (my work, his work, and our home literally are points on an isosceles triangle), and the minivan that he drives is quite the gas hog. Sadly, it makes many round trips when we pick up and drop the kids off from school. We spend nearly $6000 a year on fuel – yep, I wish public transportation was available to us — I would use it!
Charity is also a good part of our budget, but not as big as we like (a goal for 2015!). It makes up about 3% of our spending.
That's about 90% of our spending. The other 10% – 15k or so is discretionary spending on hobbies, entertainment, vacations, furniture, gifts, etc. Considering it even includes dentists, I think that's a fair amount.
