I was working through some ideas to find that signature item that would help define my store. I'm find inspiration from two great print makers followed on Instagram, Read Between the Lines and Hello Tosha. I see both these prints regularly on Instagram from their fans or other websites I might stumble upon
You are My Bucket List – Read Between the Lines
Pineapple of My Eye – Hello Tosha
Haven't found my signature item just yet but it got me thinking about important branding is for any business.
I know someone who worked as a buyer for Starbucks. He once had the supplier who couldn't deliver shipments of the signature green straws. To drive home the importance of this position. He was responsible for consumable materials (which includes straws) for all of North America for Starbucks. You would think, well if they ran out, they could just use any other brand right? Nope.
That issue actually caused ripples of controlled panic.
There was no way they would allow their stores to run out of green straws. Why? It's part of their branding. All brand name products, you expect consistency. If it makes you feel good, you want to repeat that experience over. Every little thing of that last moment you enjoyed; it's important for you to have it again. Even something as different as drinking from a different straw changes that experience.
Yep, brand association. There's a lot of people who glimpse the green straw and think, "Mmm…I could go for a Frappuccino". If a store when with a white straw or something that is just a different shade of green, that "Mmm" moment may not happen.
You might be thinking:
Really, that's just silly, how can anyone be so silly as to reject a drink due to drinking straw?
My sister-in-law works in the downtown core in a law firm. The hustle and bustle of high end shops and career driven corporate executives. She told me many people, including the lawyers she work for who view having a Starbucks every day, twice (or more) a day. Some even brand them as a status symbols. I get it. If you pay $7.00 for a coffee twice a day 5 days a week, that's $3640. If I was CEO of Starbucks, I want to make sure they have the same satisfying experience every drink my customer has. If those green straws are part of that encourage to buy the afternoon treat, my stores better of them well stocked.

For all you HBO subscribers out there, and even for those who aren't, you likely have seen ads for the movie "Confirmation" which chronicles the 1991 U.S. Supreme Court nomination -- and subsequent sexual harassment controversy -- of Clarence Thomas. Before he eventually became a Supreme Court Justice, Thomas worked at the Equal Employment Opportunity Center (EEOC).
One of Thomas' former co-workers at the EEOC, Anita Hill, alleged that he sexually harassed her while they worked together. The claims were quite explosive, setting off a weeks-long controversy about Thomas nomination and confirmation as a Supreme Court Justice. He was eventually approved as a Congressional committee ended up having little to no impact on the situation.
The story was quite a politically divisive one. The right saw Hill's claims as a move to block Thomas from reaching the Supreme Court, while the left saw the right's attempts to defend and push Thomas through the confirmation process as irresponsible and disrespectful to woman and the topic of sexual harassment in general.
No matter where you stand on the matter, it is important to realize just how important Anita Hill and the Clarence Thomas controversy were to improving sexual harassment laws and greatly improving the awareness of improper workplace conduct in the United States. In addition, after the controversy, many women were elected to Congress after it was widely criticized for having an all-male congressional committee investigating the claims made by Anita Hill.
We're still not "there" yet, but sexual harassment laws have evolved and become much better over the years.

I need some help on my DIY project for underfloor heating system in an apartment.
The question is on the screed requirements provided that I have the following (non traditional) setup. There is polystyrene insulation that is glued to the concrete base. Then there are whole OSB plates freely positioned on the insulation. I plan to fix the heating tubes to the OSB and to implement a floating screed over it (sand and cement). Finally I plan to have a tiles finish.
First of all do you see any potential problems with this setup? Please mind that any changes with it will be expensive to make so I need to make this work.

MANNHEIM, Germany — In the current tussle for the future of Germany, Frauke Petry is what you might call the anti-Angela Merkel.
Where Ms. Merkel, the chancellor, has welcomed refugees, Ms. Petry, a rising far-right leader, has said border guards might need to turn guns on anyone crossing a frontier illegally.
Where Ms. Merkel has urged tolerance, Ms. Petry has embraced the angry populism now running through Europe and the United States.
"The preachers of hatred" was how the news weekly Der Spiegel characterized the new German right on its cover last month, emblazoned with a portrait of the petite Ms. Petry.
But this brisk, garrulous 40-year-old is more than Ms. Merkel's foil. She is a disruptive, new force on the German political scene.
She and her party, the Alternative for Germany, have ridden a wave of discontent over the chancellor's embrace of more than one million refugees to their strongest poll ratings ever.
They are now roiling Germany's placid, consensus-driven politics and threatening to alter its political landscape as insurgent parties have done in less stable or prosperous countries around Europe.
Not unlike Donald J. Trump in the United States, she is also breaking open a political dialogue and liberating a new and impolitic — critics say racist — language in the mainstream.
"The power of the established parties is crumbling," a jubilant Ms. Petry told supporters after her party took 13.2 percent of the vote in normally sleepy local elections in the central state of Hesse last Sunday.
This Sunday is another test, with elections in three larger and more important states — one in the east and two in the west — that are being closely watched as a referendum on the chancellor's refugee policies and a bellwether for the nation.
In the east, support for the Alternative for Germany now nears 20 percent — about double that in the west.
But even in the west, the far-right rebellion is chipping away at the chancellor's conservative Christian Democrats, as well as its Social Democratic coalition partners, in a country where the Nazi past looms large.
The Alternative for Germany party has already elbowed its way into five state Parliaments, and is predicted to sail into three more with up to one-fifth of the vote on Sunday.
Ms. Merkel's push this week for European Union leaders to hammer out a deal with Turkey to stem the refugee flow was intended in no small part to beat back the challenge Ms. Petry represents.
There is no doubt that the migrant crisis changed the fortunes of Ms. Petry's party.
Initially founded in 2013 as a protest against the euro, the Alternative for Germany shifted emphasis to protecting German identity as hundreds of thousands of migrants entered the country last year.
Ms. Petry and other nationalist-minded leaders ousted the more Europe-oriented founder of the party, then locked onto the identity issue as the embodiment of how Ms. Merkel and the German establishment were ruining the country and ignoring ordinary folk, said Hajo Funke, a politics professor at the Free University in Berlin.
Starting in the former Communist East Germany, in Ms. Petry's home state of Saxony, they whipped "unhappiness about political and economic alienation" into anger and double-digit scores in opinion polls, Professor Funke said.
Ms. Petry has stood out, he added. "She wants power, she wants to get into government."
Professor Funke and other leading political scientists are doubtful her success will last. But the immediate impact of the migrant crisis is undeniable, cutting across age, education, class, region and political persuasion.
Street protests rapidly descend into right-wing chants of "Merkel must go!" and left-wing cries of "Out with Nazis!" Violent attacks on asylum seekers and their housing have increased.
Now, the elections in three of Germany's 16 states on Sunday will be the first significant voter test of both Ms. Merkel's policy and Ms. Petry's rapid ascent.
Both women are from former East Germany, both hold doctorates in science and both have connections to the Lutheran church — Ms. Merkel's father was a Lutheran pastor, as is Ms. Petry's estranged husband.
The similarities end there.
Unlike the 61-year-old chancellor, Ms. Petry sees 1990 as "a missed opportunity to really reunite."
"Much that was successful in the East was simply swallowed by the West," she said in an interview. In the next 25 years, she argued, a view of Germany evolved that demeaned the country, with policies against families, against nuclear power and against German traditions.
In this atmosphere, "it is not surprising that a party which argues for a self-conscious nation-state in a Europe of Fatherlands is seen as reactionary," she said.
"That only shows how one-sided the discussion in Germany has been for years," said Ms. Petry, a mother of four.
As for the Nazi past, she said, "the uniqueness, the singularity of German guilt has stood much too often in the forefront, and distorted the view that there are also enough positive aspects to our history."
In a shabby hall on the outskirts of Mannheim, a city of 300,000 about 60 miles south of Frankfurt, Ms. Petry got a sympathetic hearing from some 250 listeners.
"Germany is crazy," said Katja Kornmacher, 46, who said she works in a publishing house and holds two university degrees. "We have the feeling that we can't say anything" against the leftist view in Germany. "It starts in school, where we are told what is correct."
"And those who follow this line land better in life," she continued. "The line is: 'Right is bad, left is good.' And then the leftists are outside shouting against this democratic event."
Ms. Kornmacher was referring to perhaps 30 leftists who jeered those who came to hear Ms. Petry. More than 200 police officers were on duty to ensure there were no clashes.
Emotions are high since the local newspaper, the Mannheimer Morgen, ran a now-infamous interview with Ms. Petry in which she contemplated border guards using guns to keep out refugees.
Ms. Petry says her words were twisted by what she calls the "Pinocchio press" to say that she favored an order to shoot, similar to that in East Germany.
The political establishment in Germany has mostly dealt with Ms. Petry and her party by refusing to appear with them in public, and ruling out any coalition government with them.
Hotels and other institutions have even declined to rent halls to the party.
In Merseburg, a picturesque town of 36,000 in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, which votes on Sunday, the Christian Democrat mayor, Jens Bühligen, 49, has managed to accommodate about 2,800 refugees, mostly spread through the town in empty apartments.
He said he has defused protests by going to them, and listening. "It works," he said.
But some of Sunday's prospective voters had a different view. When about 150 people rallied for the Alternative for Germany, the anger of a cluster of women, all 60 or older, was palpable.
"We were not asked!" about the refugees, they yelled.
A burly 63-year-old woman in a red anorak, who like the others declined to give her name, said she had worked for 42 years and gets 621 euros a month, about $685, from her pension.
Watching how the refugees are treated, she said, "I have never had so much hatred inside me."

Fun-loving accountant Theresa has always relied on numbers, because numbers don't lie. At six her father died, at seven she became a big sister, at fourteen she became a mother, at fifteen she had her first job, and at eighteen she moved out. By twenty five she'd had fifteen failed relationships, by thirty she'd had ten failed jobs, and at almost thirty five she's still hiding her sexual persuasion from most people.
After a chance encounter with (wo)man's best friend, Theresa's life becomes increasingly adventurous and even takes a detour into the unexplainable. Theresa discovers she is more capable than she ever had the courage to be before, and that unconventional love takes on many forms. Falling for your best friend can be controversial, but a love without limitations is something you can never give up on.
Simple. Direct. Chaos. Welcome to the Ruthless Beings World, where conversations are important, love has no limitations, and judging people on superficial things will only lead to trouble. I'm here to educate and entertain. That's my aim. I find people fascinating. They're complex. What motivates them and why they do the things they do is what sparked the Ruthless Beings saga. I have chosen a simple and direct style for the chaos of the Ruthless Beings World novels (Ruthless Beings series and stand alone novels), because of the complexity of the issues dealt with. You'll find the writing is omniscient third person or third person, maintaining an arm's length, and that there is not an overuse of description for surroundings or florid language. The books contain love, crime, sex, violence, family life, and ideology, and the books are generally listed under the Crime and Family Life / Saga genres. Some people describe the writing style as 'immature' and others appreciate the simplicity because it ignites their imagination differently.
If you like soap operas, can get your head around a cast of characters, and like a bit of mystery and psychology then maybe you'll like what you read. I write about everyday life, death, abuse, crimes, sex from various angles, and love, always love. All of my books are set in Australia (where I am), rated 18+ and are intended to be read by adults.
I say "read love differently" not only for the style I choose to write in, but also for what constitutes love. I know some people have some fixed views about love and life, and they might not understand love the way I write it, but I'm not giving up hope. Without hope you have nothing.
Happy reading.

The UK has voted to leave the European Union which may come as a shock to many. The reality is that no changes will happen overnight. The Brexit process (or the divorce from the EU) will take as long as 2 years to agree. The Prime Minister, David Cameron will likely active Article 50 of The 2009 Lisbon Treaty within the next 2 weeks which will begin the process of leaving.
George Osborne has suggested there may be an emergency budget following the leave vote but this has yet to be determined.
Despite any exit from the European Union taking 2 years or more to really happen, the biggest affect we will see in the short term is currency fluctuation and market uncertainty.
This means that the prices of travel and holidays could be affected in the future as we don't know what the effect of currency chances will have on the price of holidays, hotels, fuel etc. Prices for the coming 6-12 months have probably already been fixed and guaranteed with tour operators, holiday companies, hotelier and such like, therefore NOW is a great time to book your holiday.
We may see some prices rises in the future as things settle down, but we also may not because of the important aspect our tourism has on the world economy.
"The UK public love their holidays. Long term effects are unclear yet so now is the perfect time to book a holiday to ensure you get the best deal, beat any price rises and escape to the sun". Steve Witt, Managing Director of Not Just Travel and The Travel Franchise
Even the best economists seem unable to answer questions about what will happen next. However what we do know is that the Great British public love their holidays!
In terms of going on holiday, no one else really does it like the Brits. We are one of the biggest nations in the world for going on holiday and that means that we are important for the travel industry worldwide.
Our travel and tourism industry demands the respect of every country no matter the outcome of Brexit. The amount of money Brit's spend abroad is considerable so whether we are part of Europe or not, countries such as Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Spain and many other top holiday destinations need our business.
Book your holiday now. Beat any possibly prices rises and fix your holiday prices. Vote to to have your next holiday as soon as possible!

A recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Wageningen in the Nederlands, found that the ability for men and women to orgasm during sex rose significantly if they slapped on a pair of socks.
Wow. How did they figure that one out?
Well, the "Orgasmic Sock Effect" was first discovered during a 2011 study by Johns Hopkins University. During that study, couples where having sex while undergoing brain scanning, so researchers could investigate how psychological states and physical stimulation affect people's ability to orgasm.
During the study, the participants began to complain about the cool temperatures in the scanning room, so the researchers gave the couples pairs of socks to wear in order to do the deed in relative comfort. What they found afterward was quite astonishing. Providing the couples with socks helped increase their ability to orgasm from 50% to 80%.
The University of Wageningen study focused on whether socks could indeed increase the ability to orgasm, and guess what? It did, from 50% to 80%.
OK . . . . How does it work?
Researchers surmised that keeping feet warm allowed for a more comfortable state in which to enjoy the sexual experience. This level of comfort allowed the couples to be more relaxed and focused on their activity.
So, to make the evening perfect, don't forget the music, the candles, and a comfy pair of tube socks.

Hi everyone! It's me, Mimi, posting! So far this has been a super fun week, and so today I thought I would try something new…
I decided to become a hair stylist! After spending all morning getting supplies, figuring out what I was supposed to do do, and coming up with a fun name, I was ready!
By lunchtime, my amazing hair salon, Puurfect Styles, (see what I did there?) was open, and I had already got my first customer.
"Hi Fifi!" I exclaimed happily, grabbing my friend, Fifi The Pink Poodle a styling cape. "What kind of style do you want today?" After thinking for a few moments, Fifi finally came up with an answer. "Since I usually get it curled, how about today, you give me something totally new!"
I worked like lighting, snipping and styling away until I had finally pulled the last bow tight enough. "Ta-da!" I spread my arms out to show off my masterpiece. "Um…thanks…" Fifi said, pulling at the ribbons as she trudged out the door. (Some people can be tough critics!)
Soon, Herald the Unicorn stopped by, and I knew just what to do with his tangled fur. It was going to be the best style anyone had ever seen!
"And, done!" I announced, laying down my brush. "How do you like it? The ribbons match your horn!" Herald shrugged, and straightened his bow tie before leaving. (Okay! Maybe it wasn't my best work, but I still think I'm pretty good at this hair styling thing.)
My last customer of the day was French Minnie, who I thought actually ended up looking pretty nice! (And I think she thought so to, because she actually took one of my free hair style coupons!)
After a long day, I decided to head home. Maybe, tomorrow I'll turn my hair salon into a bakery…now that would be fun…and delicious!
Well bye for now!

You may have noticed by now that we at Root Chocolate are not the only ones making chocolate "from the bean," as Clay Gordon likes to call it. In fact, we are among many small- and micro-batch makers dedicated to the craft (part art, part science) of making chocolate.
I wanted to do a brief post about the many other bean-to-bar companies out there to pass along the advice we've been given time and again: eat more chocolate. Refine your palate. Taste all those other delicious bars in order to understand what you really like. First, please note the many sites that review chocolate bars and share their wealth of tasting knowledge with the world:
- The Ultimate Chocolate Blog (particularly this post about all the US bean-to-bar makers)
- ChocoFiles
- Little Brown Squares
- Cocoa-Heaven
- Eat More Chocolate
- Flavors of Cacao
- Finding Fine Chocolate
- Mostly About Chocolate
- Seventy %
- Bean to Bar (particularly this post about international bean-to-bar makers)
And now, without further ado, I give you the list of all the "from the bar" chocolate makers I'm aware of. Please feel free to comment to add or correct anything on this list, so I can build out this list even more thoroughly!

Part of National Museums Liverpool
Also in this section…?
Many of Emily Tinne's coats and other outdoor garments, a selection of which can be seen in the image gallery below, are made of fur. There are also several wool coats, like the one displayed in the exhibition, that are heavily trimmed with fur.
Some of the most popular furs worn during the 1920s and 1930s can be seen here, including rabbit, seal and beaver, as well as the more exotic antelope. Emily had other examples in her wardrobe, including squirrel, sable, fox and Persian lamb.
Despite having a wide range of expensive fur coats, she hardly ever wore any of them. Her family believe that she bought many of them during the Depression, so that Liverpool's poorly-paid shop assistants could receive the much-needed commission on the sale.
Emily's evening capes, like her evening dresses, reveal her taste for the glamorous. Some of them, like the black velvet rabbit fur-trimmed creation, would have suited a Hollywood star rather than a suburban doctor's wife.

The information watchdog has said that Southampton City Council has to stop recording the conversations that are had between drivers and passengers in taxis. Christopher Graham is the Information Commissioner and he has said the Council had, "gone too far" to ensuring people's safety.
He went on to add that people would expect a higher level of privacy as they are already being recorded. "By requiring taxi operators to record all conversations and images while the vehicles are in use, Southampton City Council has gone too far.
"We recognise the council's desire to ensure the safety of passengers and drivers but this has to be balanced against the degree of privacy that most people would reasonably expect in the back of a taxi cab."
He carried on saying many taxi drivers use their cars outside of work so recording all their conversations is just unnecessary and privacy needs to be respected.
"While CCTV can be used in taxis, local authorities must be sensible about the extent to which they mandate its use, particularly when audio recording is involved."
It was also revealed that something similar was happening in Oxford which could have breached the Data Protection Act. They have now suspended this scheme.
They are hoping that by having the scheme suspended in Oxford this will show all Councils that legal obligations need to be thoroughly thought through.
Many taxi drivers have had to pay for the CCTV camera's to be added to their vehicles so if more Councils decide to have conversations recorded, this will cause extra cost implications for the drivers. Most are struggling with the increasing costs of fuel, UK taxi insurance and road tax so any other extra costs will not be greatly welcomed.
Nick Pickles is the director of the campaign group Big Brother Watch and he said, "Recording every minute of every passenger's conversations in taxis is an unjustified and intrusive measure, and we're please the Information Commissioner is now taking action against to stop Southampton Council forcing taxi drivers to spy on their customers."

Dallas McLaughlin says his days in Bad Credit, a comedy hip-hop crew that rapped about cash and bling and thrived at local clubs from 2002 to 2008, led to his hook-up with the Aquabats TV show and with an upcoming Padres post-game show on Fox Sports San Diego.
"Bad Credit was a tough sell. It was so different," McLaughlin tells the Reader. He and his ex–Bad Credit partner Matt Gourney created a Beastie Boys–like romp with their song "Bill Gates Owes Me Five Bucks" to create an over-the-top send-up about American greed.
"You had to put yourself out there and be prepared to have anything thrown back at you. It gave me the balls to get up onstage and trust that I could make people laugh. People looked at us as a joke. We were looking at it as a party."
McLaughlin got the whole punk thing, but... "We weren't just anarchist punk kids. We wanted to screw with people."
Their local success led to them playing on tours with the Aquabats, the ska band that dressed like superheroes and just launched their second season of The Aquabtas! Super Show! June 1 on the Hub network. McLaughlin, 32, wrote all of the animated segments for the show for the upcoming season. ("It's like Spy vs. Spy.")
McLaughlin's interaction with the Aquabats also helped him contribute music to Nickelodeon's Yo Gabba Gabba, which was co-created by the Aquatbats' Christian Jacobs.
"It's the second most popular kids' show in America," says McLaughlin.
McLaughlin's Bad Credit bombast led to him creating a stand-up act that now has him performing regularly in San Diego, L.A., and Vegas.
His spontaneous, sometimes saucy stand-up routine, however, doesn't sound anything like his SeaWorld shows, where he hosts the sea lion and otter show.
"SeaWorld gives me a chance to say something funny in front of 2500 people. I also host a show with pets, where I deal with dogs, cats, pigs, kangaroos."
McLaughlin says his contributions to Aquabats and Yo Gabba Gabba are not making him rich. "It's not like the guy who created Law & Order."
McLaughlin says the motivation he discovered while performing in Bad Credit has also helped him land his first TV gig, as the host of Off Base, which will air after every Padres game on Fox Sports San Diego. "It starts after the All-Star break. I'll do a monologue and then we'll have sketches and a panel and play games with the audience."
Dallas McLaughlin appears June 24 at the Kensington Club.

Plot :-"Playing the field kicks off with the homecoming of George (Gerard Butler), a retired soccer pro whose glory days are behind him. Burnt out on his playboy lifestyle and bankrupted by a string of bad investments, George moves back to Virginia to reconnect with his estranged ex-wife (Jessica Biel) and neglected son (Noah Lomax). Making up for lost time, George starts to coach the boys' soccer team. But can he keep his eyes on the goal when the bleachers are stacked with sexy soccer moms and desperate housewives?"
I prefer Gerard Butler in action movies. But the guy is definitely charming and he does fit well in all those comedy movies he signs up for. So even if I'm not much excited about the movie Playing the Field, I'll give it a try when it will come out in theaters.
By the way what do you of Gerard Butler dressed a soccer player? Handsome, nope?
Anyway, more details about the movie Playing the field soon!

Christopher F. Edwards, Associate Professor; Matthew Svrcek, Greg Roberts, and Sankaran Ramakrishnan, Graduate Researchers, Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University
The major objective of this ongoing research project is to enable the development of ultra-high efficiency engines. These engines should convert a much higher fraction of the theoretical exergy limits of their chemical resources to work than the most advanced engines available today. Specifically this research is aimed at defining the combustion and wall-interface systems required for an extreme-compression engine with reduced combustion irreversibility and enhanced exergy extraction. The target is 60% simple-cycle efficiency in an engine suitable for wide-scale use in passenger-car applications.
Improving engine efficiency has long been an objective of engine designers. First-law efficiency (work per unit fuel Lower Heating Value) has improved from less than 1% before 1800 (the Savery and Newcomen engines) to about 70% for compound fuel-cell/gas-turbine engines under development today. However, most simple-cycle engines are less than 50% efficient and best suited for light-duty transportation since the cost, complexity and size issues associated with compounding are avoided. Spark-ignited (SI, gasoline) engine efficiencies remain in the low to mid 30s, while small-bore direct-injection (DI, diesel) engine efficiencies are in the mid 40s. The generally low simple-cycle efficiencies in current engines can be attributed to significant exergy destruction (Figure 1) as well as loss to coolant and environment (i.e., exhaust), all of which can be significantly reduced.
The premise of this research and previous research carried out in the Edwards lab, is that a very-high efficiency (~60%) simple-cycle engine is possible based on the use of extreme compression, very high cycle rates, and multiple-piston compression. Previous recent research in the Edwards lab involved the construction of a working free-piston, extreme-compression device capable of achieving the required compression ratios and mean piston speeds, and capable of quantifying indicated performance at conditions of these extreme conditions (Figure 2). The system also provides an opportunity to quantify heat and mass losses, and a platform for testing design strategies to mitigate these losses.
The key research challenge remaining for an extreme compression engine is design and execution of an optimal combustion strategy.
This research will use the extreme compression apparatus for continued analysis of the efficiency potential of low-irreversibility engine architectures and construction of a comprehensive set of design studies. Preliminary data from this device is shown in Figure 3.
The panels in Figure 4 illustrate the capabilities of the full-field optical access. Using this imaging capability, fundamental efforts to quantify jet penetration, mixing rates, and autoignition characteristics will be undertaken. This research will allow systematic development of a combustion strategy. Measurement of the concomitant performance and emissions is a central goal of the next phase of research.
The images are obtained via a combination of schlieren and direct photography that permits simultaneous imaging of gas-phase density gradients, spray extinction, and combustion luminosity on a single camera.

In a recent report published in Scientific Reports, scientists found that exposure upon predators, damselfish drastically increases the size of the spots on its skin. This mechanism is proposed to avoid any injury away from the head region, and it may give a false information to the predator of where the prey is going to escape.

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.
One of our vacation budget stretchers is to save up spending money all year long. Believe it or not, we actually use a piggy bank and add to it whenever we can. When we find a coin on the ground, we get a bit giddy!
While loose change does add up pretty fast, about $100 per year, that doesn't make for much vacation fun.
That's where Groupon Coupons comes in!
When I'm out shopping — or shopping online — I take a minute to check in on Groupon Coupons to find bonus savings. Then I shop as usual. Once I get home (or finish shopping online), I add whatever I saved with my coupon to the piggy bank.
To grow our savings even faster, I round up to the nearest dollar. Besides, it's a lot easier to count dollar bills than pennies, nickels and dimes!
How to save with Groupon Coupons
- Go to Groupon.com. (Easy peasy!)
- Hover over the "Coupons" tab to find a list of retailers.
- Click on the store where you want to shop to find available coupons.
- If shopping online, activate coupon and finish shopping. If shopping in-store, open the in-store coupon and present it at checkout. Easy!
- When you're done, add the savings to your piggy bank and grow that vacation fund.
How I saved on Father's Day shopping with Groupon Coupons
This summer, we're planning to spend a lot of time at our favorite lake. After a morning of kayaking and paddle boarding, a little relaxation is in order. So, for Father's Day, I'm getting my husband a sturdy raft to enjoy on the water.
SHHH!!! He's banned from my site until Father's Day. If you know him, don't tell!
Here's how it worked, step by step.
Head to Groupon Coupons and choose where you want to shop. (I chose Amazon.)
On the coupons page, choose the best deal and click that coupon code. For me, adding money to a gift card offered the best deal on this particular purchase. Follow the prompt to get the Groupon coupon code.
Place your order.
Before that final click, double check that your coupon was applied. I got a bonus $5 when I reloaded my gift card, and I checked to make sure the money was there.
And there you have it.
One Father's Day gift is in the bag (or in the box) — and I saved a bit too.
Since this post is sponsored by Groupon Coupons, I had to pause my purchase because I didn't want my husband to see the screenshots as I ordered. That would ruin the surprise!
When I went back today, the price dropped. YAY! So, I'll be adding the $5 from the coupon plus the $3.68 in price change to our vacation piggy bank. Not too shabby — especially since I was shopping anyway!
Do you use Groupon Coupons? If you have a tip to save, please share.

I think, in the midst of all the new brands each carrying one promise or another, causing frenzies and out-of-stock frustration, we have gravitated away from what is classic. And familiar.
We have forgotten about The Body Shop. Well, at least I have.
How can we forget the place that introduced us to the death-beige-lipstick and just-had-beetroot-red (aka 01 and 02)? The days when it was one of the few places in Bahrain that stocked good shampoos and showergels (back to the Sheraton days). Every birthday gift was a Body Shop basket filled with goodies and those little bath balls that were never used. Disclaimer: If you were born in the 90s and beyond you will not relate to this.
So if The Body Shop has been around for this long, and keeps introducing new lines and renovating its product line, aaand it is actively helping the planet by supporting fair trade, against animal testing, and supports other important causes like HIV, reforestation, supports impoverished countries...etc, I figured: why not? It has to be that good.
Since my birthday a few weeks ago and the undeniable fact that I aged one year, I thought it would be the perfect time to start looking for some treatments that, let's say, make me look younger.
I know there are so many known brands out there but I am a true believer that a tube of serum should not cost you 20% of your salary for it work.
I have nothing against the big brands but they many not necessarily be better than the more affordable ones - it just means that the bigger brands have a bigger advertising budget to match. SO it makes sense that their cost would be higher. Sorry Chanel-moisturizer-that-feels-smells-works-just-as-well-as-Oil-of-Olay.
I did a couple of reviews a while ago on the products I use (see here and here) and please note that the products I will share with you are just an addition to my beauty regime (unless otherwise stated).
So let me share with you my current, umm, problems. Dull skin, pores, and dark under-eye circles. RIP 20s.
I walked into the Seef shop a few days ago and was greeted by friendly staff who knew what they were talking about. I told them I have these issues and what do you recommend.
For dull skin, the Vitamin C line promises to add radiance to your skin and is claimed to be their "famous Skin Reviver". The Body Shop claims that it is the "antidote to dull skin". Vitamin C without a doubt is good for you in general - helps boost your immunity and are an excellent source of antioxidants (more on Vitamin C here).
So the lady recommended two products:
1. Vitamin C Skin Boost for day. You apply it after your day moisturizer and before makeup. It has light-reflective particles that give you a nice subtle glow. It smells citrusy fresh and is applied pretty easily. My skin felt smooth and it didn't clog up my pores nor did it make my skin oily. This was BD 10.
For eyes, she suggested the Vitamin E line. Vitamin E is known to protect and repair skin. Most treatments that tackle scars and stretch marks contain Vitamin E (read about the benefits of Vitamin E here).
For pores, the Tea Tree oil line was recommended. Tea tree is a popular natural remedy to treat acne, dryness, eczema, bug bite relief and can even reduce the duration of the cold (read about the benefits of Tea Tree here).
The Tea Tree Pore Minimizer promises to reduce the size and appearance of pores and mattifies the skin.
You use it after your moisturizer and before your makeup. It smells herbal and I use a very tiny dot. I find it works really well with my makeup and it does make my pores smaller. This cost BD5.500.
All four products cost me a total of BD31.500. The amount equivalent to one day cream. So far I am enjoying them and my skins feels and seems...happy. For the capsules it's too soon to tell but so far, five days into trying all these products out I have no regrets.
Old is gold folks. And I am referring to The Body Shop, not my age.

He's the man that taught James Bond - Daniel Craig, to jive - and he's got strong links to the North Coast!
Celebrity choreographer Jack Murphy fronted the BBC2 show 'You Make Me Feel Like Dancing' last week, and he was inspired to present the show by his parents, who met at the Palais de Dance in Portstewart.
In a interview with The Coleraine Times this week, Jack reveals his Portstewart connection, and his pride in his Irish roots.
The London based movement director is simply bursting with admiration for our wonderful area.
In the two part BBC show saw Jack took dozens of dancers back to Bolton's former Palais de Danse in a bid to inspire the next generation to dance!
The final part aired last Thursday night and there's been a wonderful reaction to the programme.
Jack met some real characters during filming and inspired those who had never danced before to get onto the dance floor - many of them have continued to learn.
If you missed it, you can watch via the BBC's iPlayer.
"When the BBC rang me about the show and asked me if I wanted to be on board, I couldn't turn it down," told Jack.
"Programmes like 'Strictly' means that the British public have fallen in love with ballroom dancing again, now all we have to do is get them off the sofa and into the arms of each other. In order to do that they need the space in which to dance," he joked.
"The fact that my parents met at the Palais de Dance in Portstewart, back in 1953, was the stimulus for me taking part in the programme. I am usually the one behind the camera. This was my first presenting role - I was just myself and I think that came across the show.
"I really enjoyed it, so we will see what happens next."
Jack's father, who passed away back in 1981, was from County Clare, and was in the RAF.
Based at Ballykelly, Jack explained that his father was the 'Social Events Organiser' in the Force, and had met his mother in Portstewart.
"My dad, Tim, actually walked three girls home to Portstewart's Lever Road after the dances.
"My mother, Ruby, lived the furthest along the Lever Road, and it was during one of these walks that they fell in love - it's such a romantic story.
"The fact that my father, a Catholic man from West of Ireland, was in the RAF, and was posted to Northern Ireland makes it even more special," told Jack, who lives in Chelsea.
Jack, who was Movement director for the hit British film 'Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason' back in 2004, has fond memories of returning to the Northern Ireland as a child.
His grandfather Jim Adair, was well known in Portstewart. He was a dust man and was also a fireman.
"My brother has served in the London fire service for over 30 years. Our time in Northern Ireland as children I guess has inspired us all," told Jack.
"My grandmother, who was also called Ruby, worked in the very plush Carrick Hotel in the town.
"She was the head silver service waitress, she was a truly amazing woman."
Jack and his mother have just returned to London after spending Christmas in Portstewart.
"No matter where I am in the world, I love getting back to Portstewart.
"I am in Portstewart at least four times a year - I just love it.
"We fly in to City of Derry airport and take the road via Benone - it's really is God's own country," said Jack who has also worked with Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.
"If it wasn't for my job I would move to Portstewart in the blink of any eye.
"I would love to live there.
"We were there from the 23rd of December to January 1, and I walked to the Bar Mouth and back every day. My mum and I got our pictures taken at the site of the old dance hall in Portstewart, it doesn't look like much now, but it holds good memories for Mum.
"I mentioned Portstewart and my connection in a few other press interviews and I see a lot of reaction on twitter," joked Jack, who pointed out that he was actually crowned the Northern Ireland skateboarding champion in Portrush as a teenager - a talented man, who we can now adopt as one of our own!

But the term 'mobile' is about more than just smartphones. People move around a lot, we always have. We walk, ride bikes, drive cars, take public transit, travel on airplanes and even spaceships. And now that we live in a world of perpetual connectivity, we also want to remain plugged in.
Constant Movement
Consumers travel from their homes, to the office, to off-site meetings, to a stop at the coffee shop, then back to work for the afternoon before heading back home. That's a lot of movement.
A consumer might visit your site on their desktop at work, read an email from you on their tablet while at a meeting, and check you out on Twitter from their smartphone at the coffee shop. It's becoming increasingly more important for businesses to maintain a connected and consistent presence across multiple platforms.

We started the day on La Ramblas and walked along the beach where we ate Paella we decided to walk the boardwalk. Around noon we started to walk to the Estadi Olimpic De Montjuic. We walked for many hours we went up a mountain where you could see all of Barcelona and truly see how beautiful the city is. Once we got the to the top we tried to visit the Museu but by then it was night time. We were not able to take the tour but we still walked around and saw the swimming pool and the soccer stadium. About five minutes away is the Museu Nacional D'art de Catalunya. There were many people around who were just enjoying the music and the company of family and friends. It was getting so cold that we bought some chocolate y churros, which was amazing! I am glad that the chocolate was nice and hot because the walk towards Poble Espanyol was very chilly. After walking all day we were quite tired and decided to take the metro back to La Ramblas we bought some gelato for the walk back to the hotel and called it a night.

As someone who has fair skin and prefers a simple makeup routine, the thought of contouring and highlighting always seemed like one too many steps for me (and something I would surely mess up). It wasn't until more recently, after my girlfriend went on raving about the powers of contouring, and Clinique introduced me to their new Chubby sticks, that I agreed to give this defining trick a try.
I wanted to create a more natural look–nothing too dramatic or heavy–but simply defining my best angles. I was pleasantly pleased with the outcome, and seeing that I received quite a few makeup-related compliments on this particular day I'd definitely say I'm sold on the powers of contouring / highlights and thought I'd share!
Step I | Highlight the areas light hits naturally using Clinique's Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight. I chose to highlight my cheekbones, nose, and cupid's bow (top of the lip)
Step 2 | Next draw brown lines all over on your face (not really but it is kind of fun) with Clinque's Chubby Stick Sculpting Contour. I didn't get too carried away with the contour stick but you certainly could. I added contour underneath my cheekbones and the bridge of my nose. You may also want to do the jawline and chin. And be sure to blend in well!
Step 3 | After blending steps 1 & 2 completely, finish the look with a swipe of glowy blush on the apples of your cheeks using Clinique's Sculptionary Cheek Contouring Palette.
Packing for New York | Clinique's new sticks took away all previous intimidation factors for me. They're so easy to use and perfect for on the go touch-ups. They came with me to New York this week–along with my daily stack of gold jewels and these killer boots which now I'm afraid to wear out in the snow. Not sure what I was thinking there!
Wearing | A.O.T.C. Top. Citizens of Humanity Jeans. Isabel Marant Boots. Chloe Purse. Anthropologie x BaubleBar Earrings.
I have to note this cropped sweater / top from A.O.T.C. ("ahead of the Curve" – Curve boutique's line). I'm obsessed with cropped silhouettes at the moment paired with high-waisted denim (you know these are my fave, I have them in almost every wash).

Artist Statement
Quiet pots initially speak softly yet reveal complexity in both form and surface through continued investigation and use. Embodied in my wood fired vessels is the serenity that I experience by surrounding myself on a daily basis with a rich natural environment.
The rich surfaces of the vessels represent the natural world. Nature also inspires form, in some cases quite literally, as river rocks become saucers. Other pieces speak of this passion more subtly. Bases reference the landscape, evoking a sense of space and awareness of the land. Parallels can be drawn between geological processes and the atmospheric firing process.Pots physically capture and record their firing process similar to the way sedimentary and metamorphic rocks speak of their history.
Potterys inherent relationship to the figure is accentuated in my gestural forms. The dialog between the forms changes as the pieces are used.
The simple things in life are often the most important. My pots speak of my passions, while at the same time allowing the user to recognize the important things in their own lives.

Several thousands of members from the law enforcement agencies have tightened up security in Washington as massive protests are heading their way, some to disrupt the inauguration.
Barriers that stretched out to several miles have been deployed by the authorities in Washington, due to the expected hundreds of thousands of people that can either be praising Trump or slamming him.
It is expected that almost 900,000 U.S. citizens would be assembled around central Washington.
The locations would include the famous grass area that is parallel to the U.S capitol.
The grass area is where Donald Trump is scheduled and set to be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
Not All Celebrating
Liberal activists will be joining in on the marches and have planned several protests due to Trump making his controversial remarks about women, along with minorities such as Muslims and illegal immigrants in the U.S.
Meanwhile, the tension in the streets is expected to reach a peak as Trump supporters will be coming in to celebrate the victory of their president.
Unlike the rest, they view Trump as the man who would aim the United States in the right direction for an expansion of economic growth and for a stronger stance for politics.
All People Included
The ANSWER coalition has organized in what is said to be the biggest anti-Trump demonstration that will take place on the day of the inauguration.
The group was created by liberals and it believed that protests in the thousands will appear at the U.S. Navy Memorial in defiance of Trump.
One organizer from the group, Ben Becker, 33, says that they intend on sending a clear and direct message to Donald Trump and that this protest serves as just part of a much larger resistance to come about in the future.

Confession: I am a self-professed pizza junkie. As much as I always want to claim something highbrow and extravagant for my favorite food, I am always forced to admit that there is little on this earth that makes me happier than a good pizza. Key word being "good"; I also am a self-professed pizza snob. The one single complaint I had about my four fantastic years at Ithaca College was how mediocre the pizza up in central New York was. While I won't turn down pizza in any way, shape, or form, I will moan bitterly about the inferiority of less-than-stellar pizza to anyone who is indulgent enough to listen to me.
I know grilled pizza is kind of an "in" thing at the moment, but I feel obligated to tell you that I actually started it. Ok, so I wasn't literally the first person to ever grill a pizza (far from it), but I did start grilling pizzas way before there was any bandwagon to jump onto. Got it? Good.
Now that we've got that cleared up, I will give you one piece of advice regarding grilled pizzas: go make one. Right now. While I generally eschew trends, this is one worth following. If you already love pizza in the oven, pizza on the grill will blow you away. I blame my pizza-snobbery entirely on being raised in close proximity to New Haven, CT, home of the original Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napolitana, aka the best pizza in the entire universe. Pepe's pizza has thin, crispy, chewy crust, simple sauce, the perfect amount of cheese, and deliciously burnt edges (known by true fans as "char"). I've been trying to replicate it for years and grilling my pizza is the closest I've gotten. It is that good.
The use of the red onions and roasted peppers arose entirely out of a vegetable crisper scavenger hunt (i.e. What in here isn't bad or going bad?). The sauce on the pizza is just a can of crushed tomatoes run through a fine mesh sieve and mixed with a pinch of salt. Roast the peppers by grilling on one side until the skin is charred and blistering and turning until all four sides are cooked, removing the skin, and chopping as desired. The crust, as you will see below, is a mixture of bread and whole wheat flours. The onions are raw. It was definitely missing a little something (an herb, I think–basil would have been nice), but it was a pretty delicious combination nonetheless.
For your own pizzas, feel free to get creative. One of the most enjoyable parts about making grilled pizzas, since they are individual sized, is customizing your pizza to your own personal tastes. The possibilities are endless. Have fun and enjoy!
Grilled Pizza
- 1 batch of homemade dough (see below) or 1-2 balls of store-bought pizza dough
- 1 can of crushed tomatoes, strained
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 ball of fresh mozzarella, sliced thin
- Oil or cooking spray for the grill
- Preheat grill, setting on medium high heat.
- Divide dough into equal parts approximately the size of your fist. Re-roll and shape into flat, round discs, either using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Oil grill and place pizzas over hottest points. When bottom is cooked and showing dark, defined grill marks, (about 3 mins.) remove to a greased cookie sheet, cooked side up.
- Top pizzas with sauce, mozzarella, and your favorite toppings
- Return pizzas to grill, topping side up, and cook until bottom is done and cheese is melted. (Note: Be sure to check frequently to make sure bottoms of pizzas are not burning too badly, but leave lid down whenever you are not checking or the cheese will never melt!)
Wheat Pizza Dough (adapted from Brown Eyed Baker)
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 packet rapid rise yeast
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (see yeast packet for exact temperature)
- 1 tablespoon oil or cooking spray
- In a large bowl, combine bread and wheat flours, yeast, and salt.
- Stir in water (I strongly, strongly advise using a candy or fry thermometer to check your water temperature to avoid yeast inactivation and crushing pizza heartbreak) until dough just comes together.
- Turn dough out onto lightly dusted surface and knead 7-10 minutes, or until dough is smooth, pliable, and not sticky in the least.
- Place dough in a well-oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, which should take about 2 hours. (Fun fact: I usually turn on the oven and leave the door open to help dough rise, but I didn't want to heat up the house on this 90 degree day, so I left the dough in the garage. It worked like a charm.)
(Makes 3 medium pizzas or 4-5 generously portioned individual pizzas)

Some Effective Ideas To Eliminate Smoke Smell In Your House
Edit Article |
Posted: Aug 01, 2010 |Comments: 0
If you find that there is smoke smell in your home or even your new home which you have just purchased, is there anyway you can get rid of the smell? No doubt the smoke smell can linger in the air for a long time but by applying the following 6 tips, you will be able to remove the smell for good.
1. Thorough cleaning up
This might seem like an obvious tip but the first thing you should do is to do a thorough cleaning up of your home, including the walls and carpets. Preferably, you should make use of professional equipment so if you can afford it, you might want to consider bringing in expert help in doing some serious cleaning up.
2. Use of vinegar
Once you have cleaned your house up, the next thing you need to do is to leave bowls of vinegar all around the house. Make sure you have a bowl in each room. Vinegar is known to absorb unwanted smell so by leaving the bowls of vinegar all around the house, you can help to further remove the smoke smell. You should also replace the bowls with fresh vinegar regularly to ensure effectiveness.
3. Make use of baking soda
You can also sprinkle some baking soda on the furniture and fabric in your house, leave it there for a while before cleaning them off. Baking soda is effective in absorbing scents so if you do this often, it can help to get rid of the smoke smell.
4. Buy a dehumidifier
If you find that after doing the above steps, you can still get the smell lingering in the house, you might want to install a dehumidifier to keep the moisture down. This will help to prevent the smell from being absorbed into the walls of your home.
5. Allow ample ventilation
Having sufficient ventilation in the house is vital to get the foul smell out. You can do so by leaving all the windows and doors open for a while to let the smell get out. Make sure that the fans are also turned on. You can do this a few times each week, especially at the beginning, until you are convinced that all the smoke smell is gone.
6. Total make-over
If this is a new home that you have just purchased and the smell has already been in the house for a very long time, it might be very difficult to remove the smell even by using the above methods. When that happens, you will have to take more drastic measures such as replacing all the wallpapers and carpets in the house with brand new ones. Next, check the furniture in the house for smoke smell. If you find anything, get rid of the furniture too. This might be more extreme measures but you are guaranteed to be able to remove the smell successfully.
It might not be an easy task getting rid of smoke smell but if you apply the above 6 techniques you will be able to remove it. You might not even have to use all the 6 suggestions to be successful.

This course is structured over a 9-week cycle that you can start at any time. You will cover all of the basic concepts and poses, develop confidence in your practice and focus on themes such as backbends or hip openers. This course is extremely popular with all levels of students because of its focused structure. No specific booking date required.
What to expect
This course appeals to totally new students as well as advanced students wishing to hone their practice. You'll be taught to move into, hold and come out of postures correctly and safely, with complete explanations. You'll practice simple breathing exercises and meditation techniques.
While our classes are loosely divided between hatha or vinyasa, we suggest you go to the teachers pages to read about each teacher and decide which class may be best for you.
Each class is based on the same approach:
- taking you in and out of postures correctly and safely
- using the breath for its many purposes such as clearing the mind and helping with day to day life, or dealing with pain
- balancing body, mind and spirit to enhance all that you do in life.
A few general reminders:
- We supply mats, but you are more than welcome to bring your own.
- If you can, try not to eat an hour and a half before a class (life is busy, bananas are a great snack if you have to eat).
- Try not to over hydrate before a class—a little water goes a long way. We supply filtered drinking water!
- Bring a towel.

'Speed is one of the biggest contributory factors in fatal road accidents.'
In 2008, 4,685 people were killed or seriously injured in crashes where a speed contributory factor was reported; 586 of these were fatalities. (Source: Road Casualties Great Britain 2008)
Young drivers were more likely to have a speed related contributory factor reported than those over 25, and more than four times as many male drivers had a speed factor reported as female drivers. 41% of male fatalities aged 16-25 were in collisions where a speed factor was reported.
Speed Limits
The most common reason given by motorists for speeding seems to be "I didn't know what the speed limit was". Although this may be a genuine reason, it's still the responsibility of the driver or rider to know what the speed limit is and obey.
Recognising 30mph
On urban roads and in built up areas, it's 30mph zones where most motorists seem to make mistakes. 30mph zones do not have repeat reminders of the speed limit because the 30mph speed limit is predominately used in urban areas (and more recently in many villages) and is indicated by the presence of a system of streetlights.
The presence of streetlights is the way we recognise this speed limit and it is the reason why you do not see, apart from where the limit starts, 30mph speed limit signs. Some believe this to be an odd way of indicating a speed limit, but really, it is simple: if there are streetlights and no signs to the contrary, a 30mph speed limit is in force.
Some motorists find it difficult to travel at 30mph and feel it's not possible to drive within the limit. More often than not, this is due to driving in a higher gear than they need; switch down to 3rd gear and most cars will drive comfortably up to 30mph
The National Speed Limit
The national speed limit is indicated by a round sign showing a white background with a diagonal black stripe across it. For the majority of vehicles it means 60mph on single carriageway roads and 70mph on dual carriageway roads (as detailed above, some vehicles are restricted to lower speed limits).This speed limit works on the same principle as the 30mph speed limit in that it is not signed apart from where the speed limit starts. It is predominately used along the rural road network. Again, recognising it is simple. Where there are no streetlights and no signs to the contrary, the national speed limit is in force. The speed limit on a motorway is 70mph unless otherwise indicated.
