Looks like the Doctor and Clara will be back on your TV starting August 23! Doctor Who returns this summer with Peter Capaldi taking over for Matt Smith as the Doctor, and Jenna Coleman returning to play Clara. Samuel Anderson has also been added to the cast as Danny Pink, a school teacher alongside Clara at Coal Hill School.
The new teaser trailer hints that the first, feature-length episode, entitled "Deep Breath", is not all sunshine and roses ("Rose"s?) for the Doctor and Clara. The teaser opens with the Doctor silhouetted against the inside of the TARDIS with fire all around, and then… well, it's easier to just show you.
Here's an awesome graphic courtesy of the Doctor Who Facebook page!
Are you excited to see Coleman and Capaldi work their magic when the show returns on August 23?

Last week we walked through adding a new project to Ravelry. Continuing with the Ravelry help theme, today we will post photos from that project to a Ravelry thread. This is a common requirement for KALs (Knit-a-longs) and CALs (Crochet-a-longs), but it's also fun to just share your photos with your online friends!
To start with, we will assume that you have logged in to Ravelry, and are in a thread (maybe it's something like this. You can see that one of the requirements is to post homework to that Ravelry "thread." A thread is a series of comments by various people all related to a certain topic – in this case the thread is named [IKD Challenge] – Step 1 Homework).
When you get to the bottom of the screen, after all the comments so far, you'll see a button that says "Reply to Thread" in the bottom right hand corner. Click on that button to add your comment.
Pro tip: You can also click "reply" to a specific person's post. This is very helpful when you're answering a question or commenting on their project. However, it's considered somewhat rude to reply to a specific post when you're not talking specifically to that person. Scroll down and use the "reply to thread" button when appropriate!
When you click Reply to Thread (or reply), a text box will appear:
Click on the little icon that looks a bit like a Polaroid photo, then click on "Choose project or stash photo" (highlighted in green above).
This will result in another screen to pop up: You should see thumbnails of all your project photos. Click on the photo you want to use.
Now just the photo you want to add will be visible in the pop up window. Click on the "use this photo" button to add the photo to your post.
At this point your photo will just look like a bunch of code, but trust me, it really is a photo! (see the top paragraph). You can write something about your photo above or below that code, then press "post reply."
Your photo is now included in the Ravelry thread! Way to go! I bet you'll win that prize now 🙂
Need a reminder of how to add a project to Ravelry? Visit that post here.

Ashley from Polka Dots & Sailor Stripes
How long have you been blogging and what motivated you to start your blog?
I started blogging in December of 2013. I was just about to graduate from college with my degree in Fashion Merchandising, and I desperately wanted to find a way to break into the fashion industry in San Diego. With limited options, I decided it would be fun to start doing my own thing, which led me to creating Polka Dots & Sailor Stripes. It started as my fashion outlet; a place to put my daily outfits, inspirations, and some fun personal pieces of myself. It has grown into something that I am truly proud of, and I look forward to the opportunities that may come from it!
What inspires you?
Clothes. Honestly. I know that is such a cliche answer for a fashion blogger, but there is nothing that inspires me more than clothes. The possibilities are so endless; you can create any type of mood you want to simply by piecing together the right outfit. I love that I can in turn inspire people with my ideas through my blog. Kate Spade is also a huge huge inspiration in my life, love that woman and all her fabulousity.
What do you like to do on your spare time?
In my spare time I try to stay creative. Constantly looking at other blogs, online shopping to do trend research, and perusing my magazines to see what's happening in the world of fashion. I also tend to shop a bit too much when I have spare time...it gets me in trouble.
What's your favorite quote or life motto?
I am a really big "quote" person. They can be so invigorating, and really all you need to hear to be motivated sometimes. I think right now I would have to say that the simplest, most inspiring quote to me is "She thought she could, so she did." I am a huge dreamer; I daydream all the time about things I'd like to accomplish. I believe that if we have the ability to dream it and visualize ourselves doing it, then we have the ability to make that vision come to life. If you think you can, then do it. You have nothing to lose!
How long have you lived in San Diego? Tell us what you love about SD.
I have lived here for about 4 years. I hadn't been down to San Diego very much before deciding it was where I wanted to attend school, but the few trips I did make were all it took to convince me that it was a brilliant city. I love that I can get a little bit of everything that I need in my life; the beach, the city, the small town feel, and also the mountains at the cost of a short drive. San Diego has so much to offer, and for a girl who has dreamed of living at the beach since she could remember, but also can't bare the thought of giving up access to a city and some mountains, this place is terrific.
What advice would you give to others who would like to begin blogging?
I tell everyone that asks me this question, social media is your best friend. I was really shy when I first started my blog, and the thought of putting my pictures out there on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc., terrified me! I thought it would come off as annoying with the constant posts about my blog. It's not true!!! To anyone reading this, networking is NECESSARY. Social media is going to take your blog where you want it to go, and postponing the exposure is only going to hurt you. The blogger world is so small, and it's so easy to make friends. Comment, like, tweet...whatever! Just connect with people as much as possible; it's a must!
*If you are a Style Blogger in San Diego and would like to be added to our blogroll and/or be featured, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more info!

Counselors can help guide you through this difficult time.
Drug Rehab Shakopee
Fear and uncertainty are oftentimes the biggest barriers to addiction recovery, which typically is a long and difficult task that will more than likely require supervised professional assistance. Getting the appropriate support and professional help, you can conquer your substance abuse problem.
At Drug Rehabilitation Facility Shakopee we provide a wide range of addiction treatment services to people that come to our rehab center struggling with addiction. Most people that get addicted to substances like percocet, vicodin, lortab, heroin, cocaine, meth and other substances that cause addiction are typically at a loss of how to recover on their own. We have provided help to countless individuals to overcome their addiction by means of our comprehensive treatment methods and recovery principles.
The initial step of our treatment program is our detox program. After a person has consumed an addictive drug over an extended period of time a physical dependence develops for the drug. Once this happens it may be not medically safe to suddenly quit without professional assistance from a medically monitored detoxification procedure. Addictive substances such as alcohol, valium, heroin, meth, demerol, vicodin and others produce a wide range of withdrawal effects such as agitation, anxiety, muscle aches, insomnia, sweating, vomiting, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, nausea and more.
At Drug Rehabilitation Program Shakopee we offer the needed medical supervision to make our clients as safe and comfortable as possible in the withdrawal period. We offer 24 hour around the clock services and supervision during this crucial first step in the recovery process. Program participants typically state that they feel a renewed sense of hope once they have completed our detoxification phase of the program.
An important aspect of overcoming addiction is to acknowledge that you have a problem. A person who refuses to accept they are addicted will not be able to take strides to fix the problem they deny they have. For many, when it comes down to taking a honest look into their addiction situation, along with that requires also to look at how and why they got addicted in the first place. Addiction often occurs when a person uses a substance to relieve physical and/or emotional pain in order to minimize negative feelings and emotions. If an individual doesn't figure out the root issues fueling their addiction and does not receive help, it will be almost impossible for them to fully recover from their addiction.
Recognizing that you have a problem is an extremely important first step of recovery from alcohol addiction or drug abuse. In addition you also need to have the desire to put forth the effort to change it. Taking a look at all the reasons for making a change will help you navigate the road to rehabilitation. Many say it helps to make a list why they want to change. Reasons could be, for example, wanting to be a better mother/father, experience more joy in life, to feel more accomplished and successful, repair damaged relationships, to improve your health, or to reverse other negative situations caused by your addiction.
Do not just focus on the circumstances and problems caused by your addiction, as focusing in on the negative things of the past can make you feel depressed and hopeless. Instead, embrace your future and the recovery process. Think about the positive things that will surely materialize when you have conquered your addiction. At Drug Treatment Center Shakopee we will help you to embrace your prospects for a happy, productive, addiction-free life. A future fulfilling past forgotten dreams and goals in your newly created addiction-free life. You will be healthier, have more energy, have greater success financially, have stable relationships, be more productive overall, and have time to enjoy and experience new hobbies and recreation. Setting aside time to write down these goals can keep you motivated during the rehab process.
Long Term Treatment Plan
At Drug Treatment Center Shakopee we have learned that the most important factor in determining success is whether the patient has successfully overcome their addiction. Success can only be determined by the patient's belief in their ability to remain sober. Short term treatment programs generally fall short of this goal.
We know that it is extremely important not to be under time restraints when in rehab. The time that you stay in treatment can offer a lifetime of sobriety, it is completely worth the investment of whatever time that it requires. We locate the true reasons that may be at the root of the addiction. We will help you to repair the problems that you have created in your life so that you are not filled with senses of overwhelming shame, regret and disappointment. You will be taught life skills, coping skills and relapse prevention methods so that you are not only sober when you leave, but know how to remain clean for the rest of your life. We know that you want a drug free life and we are here to help you find a way to achieve it.
Relapse Prevention
The only person who can change you is you. At Drug Rehab Facility Shakopee it helps to be immersed in a strong support network to help you succeed. Therefore, hold onto the people in your life that are supportive and positive. On the other hand, be cautious about maintaining the unhealthy people in your life, such as past associates that continue to use drugs, or relationships that make you feel inadequate.
Detoxification is only the initial phase in a long process of rehabilitation at Drug Treatment Center Shakopee; But will also help you to learn the triggers of your addiction urges. Anxiety, stress inhibitions, lacking confidence etc. are all potential triggers for addiction. Practicing healthy relapse prevention concepts and skills will help you to push away and overcome the cravings and urges to fall back into addictive behaviors. Our program activities include exercise, nutrition, drug education, cognitive education therapy, coping skills, life skills, craving and relapse prevention education and training.

The Cosby Blow
a story by Brad Sixapartington
One day Bill Cosby was happily walking along a corridor in whichever studio he films his shows in, when all of a sudden he saw a supporting cast member. "Hello" he said "I'm THE BOSS". "Yes" the supporting cast member replied "I know". "TOO RIGHT" Cosby retorted "Want to go make the scene or something?". "Not really" the supporting cast member bounced back with, then smiled. "Can I tell you a secret Bill?" the sly transformers t-shirt wearing supporting cast member, who ironically had lost their mind the week before and thus was literally needing support (of the moral kind).
"No" Cosby shouted and sat down, because he was old and tired after I-Spy and some other shite. It was just around that time that a magical yet dull korean cyborg appeared and asked Cosby if he wanted to help stop the evil Civil Servant Azsssshhhhh who had given freedom to all of Metropolis and turned Superman into a republican. "No" Cosby replied and walked home into his boat. As he walked in his children appeared and they lezzed up. Then his 50,000 other kids appeared and they lezzed up too. Cosby had a heart attack and died as he lived, coming inside his pretend extended jailbait showbiz fake family. And you know what? he liked it.
The End
I said I'd steal it and I did

Those new to yoga, as well as those already practicing, often ask the big question: "Can I get hurt practicing yoga?"
The answer? Of course you can get hurt! You can get hurt in any physical activity.
I'll quote Baron Baptiste, a renowned yoga teacher and founder of his own style of power yoga: to best to take care of your body, "think: knees, low back, and neck."
Knees can be tricky. Especially if you have had any knee problems, before starting a yoga practice be sure to talk to your doctor about certain ranges of motion that are more likely to cause injury.
Yoga can do wonders for a bad back. Yoga exercise involves a lot of spinal flexing and twisting. This can be healthy for the back, because the discs in your back don't have their own blood supply, so invigorating the surrounding muscles helps restore and strengthen your back. But if you already have back problems, such as a herniated disc, you have to talk to your doctor first.
Be very careful with your neck, especially as you learn to do any positions that put pressure on the back of your neck. Shoulderstand is a common one! Learn how to do it first by watching and asking questions, then and only then try it yourself. The back of your neck is vulnerable; it is a very complicated network of blood vessels that actually intertwines the bones. You don't want to put it at risk for the sake of exercise.
We can all injury ourselves sometimes in silly or surprising ways. You can hurt yourself bending over to reach something in the back of a large closet, or stretching up to get something down from the top shelf. Think of yoga the same way. You should always be paying attention to your body. Allowing yourself to feel discomfort, to lose your balance, are good tools; but you should always have a certain measure of control over your movement. In a yoga class a teacher may urge you to find your edge; but feel out this edge carefully, twist or stretch or hold only while it is difficult but doable, not until it is painful.
Even before you look for an instructor, take a little time to determine what style of yoga may be the best fit for you (pick the yoga exercise style that is right for you).
If you are new to yoga, the best safe practice advice is to find a qualified yoga teacher registered with the Yoga Alliance. If you have a friend who has been practicing yoga for at least several months, ask for some recommendations, then go ahead and check out the teachers at Yoga Alliance. Unfortunately, the yoga and fitness industry is plagued with instructor and teacher certificates that can be obtained simply by filling out a form online. So be careful – it's your health we're talking about! Be sure to verify your instructor's credentials through a valid source. Then you can safely begin your practice.
Even if you are a seasoned athlete who has been running or biking, or if you played competitive sports actively in the past, take the first class slow. You will be more comfortable, and more respected, in a class when you are listening and trying hard than if you are trying to force yourself through poses that are new to you. Whether you are moving with intention or falling, or just watching others to get a better grasp on things, you will quickly gain the respect of seasoned practitioners as long as you are focused on the yoga. Remember: you don't have to be flexible, and yoga is all about trying the right way. Yoga exercise is a journey and any regular practitioner knows that. So focus on your body and being aware of how you feel, and the hot yoga girl or guy next to you will admire your approach.
Yoga is a non-impact sport. Before the more intense positions, there is usually a warm-up that requires balance and deep stretching. Even during this period you have to be careful, be aware, and be attentive to how your body feels. Just because a warm-up is slower does not mean it is easy.
There are many times in yoga class that a teacher will say, as they lead you into a stretch, "surrender into the position." I don't like to surrender. (Who does?) And I'd say this is a misnomer anyway. A better way to think about it is to acquiesce, be aware, align your body… and then let your body lead you into the pose. When you think about it this way, the feeling when you settle all the way into a stretch is wonderful – almost a kind of relaxed high. Now, I can't do the lotus position, I just can't cross my legs that way (check out this picture). But after I started thinking about settling into a stretch differently, I started to experience moments during class (other than during lotus!) when, while moving into a position, something just felt right. Then afterwards, I realized that I got it! It's like the first time I walked away from my car after a difficult parallel parking that I'd somehow miraculously accomplished without bumps or scratches on any of the cars involved.
Yoga exercise is for your own health and enjoyment. Focus on listening to your instructor and your body. Yoga fosters concentration and focus, so use those tools to stay safe and injury free. The success you have in yoga will be your own success. Like a runner who works hard every day getting in shape to tackle a big hill – and only upon finding themselves at the top, can they see that they've made it – so too will you find yourself working hard in class, only to realize later that your body accomplished more than it's ever done before, that you nailed it! Keep practicing, keep staying aware, and you will be at the top of whatever hills and challenges in yoga – and life – that you choose to meet.

On your way UP or DOWN Baskets
How many times do you forget to bring something up or down the stairs? I came across this on Clean Mama's blog. And as many times I just use a typical laundry basket or bag...why not use something cute and labeled?! I'm still on a hunt for the perfect basket and size but I'm definitely going to make my own version.
This picture below is a Step Basket from Ballard Designs. It runs for $39 on the site.
Of course any basket will work depending on your stairs and its set up. I have a good size landing that will help make a place for the basket. Not to mention I have two sets of stairs. (I like in one of those 3 story homes).
Do you have this problem in your home? Do you have a "On your way up or down basket"?

I've been traveling for the past 10 days and it's been a whirlwind over here!
It's actually kind of been a whirlwind since I booked my flight (very last minute, mind you). When the opportunity presented itself to travel to France, I just couldn't say no. I never do anything spontaneous — I'm the girl that plans to be spontaneous — but something in me just told me I had to come and experience life.
First stop: Paris.
What a city, what a culture, what a life these Parisians live. I always dreamed about what Paris would be like: people sitting in cafes drinking coffee and smoking, everyone in love, everything looking so majestic…and it was all of that and more. Like I actually wish I was kidding.
Being in France has been a struggle because I don't speak the language. Many people know some English here and that's wonderful but I still felt helpless. I couldn't ask for directions, I couldn't have real conversations, and I really could not understand much. Mona played my translator which was even more frustrating because I had to rely on someone to do things for me and I've never been that person. Guess there's a time for everything.
But how ignorant am I that I felt as though everyone in this world should speak English? Or that they should at least know enough to have a simple conversation? Or how ignorant am I that I feel like English is the universal language? It's all been kind of eye opening for me. I've always known there is more to life than the life we live in America and I've always tried to make myself aware of that, but when you're thrown into a culture and you don't speak the language, it's frustrating beyond belief. You feel helpless, vulnerable and stupid. Or at least I did.
There are some things that, like Jason Derulo says in his song, "don't need explaining." That is where you find the beauty. Well, my booty might not need explainin' but neither does culture. And that itself is the biggest lesson you can learn when you travel the world and don't speak the language.
It sounds so cheesy, but you can really feel the love in this city. When people walk by you holding hands, the love and passion they have for each other seeps out of their pores and into you. I wish I was kidding. The French love love. They love hard. They love passionately. They love deeply. And even though I kept saying I wanted to barf, I really was just in awe of the way people can love here. Like really, truly love. Old people holding hands as they walked the streets, couples randomly kissing, the way lovers would say goodbye or hello to each other at the train station…it was all straight up out of a movie.
And everyone is so nice! Everywhere you go people say hello, good morning/evening, ask if you need help or know where you're going…who said the French are mean? We didn't have one bad experience. Okay, maybe one. But he was a grumpy old waiter so that doesn't count.
People are so content with the life they live. They are happy, they are fulfilled, and they are relaxed. They let themselves just be and enjoy the little moments. Because after all, isn't that what life should be about anyway? Being happy grabbing an ice cream and just walking around a park laughing should be enough. Why do we feel like we owe ourselves more?
You don't need to speak the language to absorb the culture. You don't need to speak the language to enjoy the great food paired with a perfect glass of wine. And you don't need to speak the language to feel the same kind of happiness the person next to you does. The things we feel, the things we see and discover, and the things we experience don't have a language. They don't need one. It's all universal. And that is so magical to me.

After introducing hardware and ingredients used to make mead, the time for actually making some is finally here. This week I want to show you how everything comes together and what you have to look out for when doing it
Last week I wrote about all the tools I will be using during my mead experiment. Now it's time to talk about the ingredients. There are some things besides honey that are needed to brew a good mead and I

Until Sep 96, women in Afghanistan were highly involved in public life, wearing comtemporary clothes, participated in government, attended coed schools and worked in all professions, ie nurses, lawyers and teachers. 40% of the doctors were women.
The Taliban militia overthrew the government and imposed a brutal system of gender apartheid on 11.5 million citizens for the crime of being female. Under Taliban law, the windows of a woman's house must be painted black. She may only leave the house if wearing traditional clothing accompanied by a close male relative. Women may not work outside the home, attend school, cannot teach their own daughters to read or allow them to attend schools. Women cannot be treated by a male doctor and healthcare for women has all but vanished. The Taliban justify this treatment based on an extremist form of Islam. These women are now committing suicide in increasing numbers
To get information on the campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afganistan, call the Feminist Majority Foundation at 1-888-93-Women.

Lately I've been feeling caught in the muck, moving through the cleansing, releasing and emotional work of the endings I set forth at the Full Moon and Lunar eclipse. My body is literally cleansing itself out with a bad chest cold. The old energy is releasing, pouring out into the Kleenex and out of my life for good. I typically get chest colds because a lot of my work is heart chakra work and throat work. My throat gets sore first, then it moves to my lungs. A loss of voice or a blockage of expression or an absence of emotional release and boom…illness. My energy is strong, potent and I know I must work with it, honor it, listen to it as a soulful guide to my life map and release it out.
But…I get busy or I don't want to cause you know… it's a lot work and effort. I throw myself a pity party and whine, "Why do I have to work so hard at this and nobody else seems to?" Wah, wah, wah….and my body smacks me around for it every time. Poor poor me….not! Get over myself already. I'm a feeler, an energy mover, an aliveness shaker it's what I was born to be and do.
When shall I learn….hehe? Now, I suppose!
So today we release to guck, the goo, the snot, the emotional stuff out as part of our wildly, soulful, luscious living plan. We must, there is no if, and's or buts about it. I feel like something new is crowning, just about to be born and the excitement and uncertainty of parenting this new life project out into the world is big, big stuff. Life changing, am I ready? Are you ready? Is this fully what we want? Is the old sabotage game going to rear its' ugly head or are we going to do this?! Let's get our feet in the foot straps and start pushing it out, we are in active labour.
So move with the labour pains and express it out on the pages….
Writing Prompts. – Labouring through the Old and New.
What am I feeling?
What are my feelings trying to tell me?
What is energy is emerging…birthing?
What's its' name? How does it want to be expressed?
What form is it?
What does this new energy want me to know and need from me to feel supported to come into life?
Play around and write out what comes, put your timers on for 5 minutes and free flow for each question!
Doodle on the page, name it out, ooze it out, begin to push and see what comes!!

Spruce Peak Village Plaza
The programmatic goal of the design charrette with the real estate development team at Spruce Peak at Stowe was to design three commercial buildings to be located in the village plaza among the new multi-story hotel, Spruce Peak Base Lodge and hospitality related buildings.
Retail, restaurant and iconoclastic public gathering places were designed to offer intimacy, protection of human scale and beauty to visitors and residents of the village. The architectural style is complementary and compatible with the building already designed and now under construction.

Brokerages have turned positive on Bharti Airtel and upgraded their stance from sell to buy as the acquisition of Tata Tele's wireless business is expected to boost the Sunil Mittal-led telco's overall cost position and spectrum portfolio and help defend its margins and cashflows against Reliance Jio, analysts said.
READ MORE: Airtel up 8%,mcap surges Rs 12,613 cr on Tata mobile unit deal
The Tata Tele deal, coming on the heels of Airtel's buyout of Telenor India and an earlier spectrum trading deal with Aircel, will allow India's top phone company "to make it difficult for Jio to continue with its disruptive pricing," Rajiv Sharma, HSBC director and telecom analyst, said in a note seen by ET. Analysts also expect the deal to allow Airtel to defer any major spectrum purchases for a few years and accelerate its ability to migrate the present three-layer mobile network to pure 4G without disrupting 2G business. This is despite Tata Tele's spectrum coming up for renewal in 5-6 years.
Brokerage CLSA said the buyout of Tata Tele's consumer mobile business would boost Airtel's lead in spectrum by 200 basis points, taking spectrum market share to 26%, and bolster its data services capabilities. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point. "The deal will add capacities in Mumbai, Maharash tra and Andhra Pradesh circles on 1800 MHz band and in nine circles in 2100 MHz band, strengthening Airtel's data offering," CLSA said in a note to clients.
READ MORE: Bharti-Tata Tele merger: Telecom industry shakeout far from over; here's why
Swiss brokerage UBS said the deal would give Airtel "access to 60,000 km of fibre owned by the Tata group, complementing the Sunil Mittal-led telco's own 240,000 km of fibre resources, helping it eliminate the gap with Jio's estimated fibre length of 250,000-270,000 km. Rating agency Fitch expects the deal to trigger improvement in Bharti's credit profile as the telecom isn't paying consideration for the operations. It expects the benefits from additional spectrum, fibre assets and subscribers "will more than offset Airtel's additional spectrum liabilities." The global rating agency also expects the Tata Tele deal to help arrest Bharti's ebitda decline and bolster its 4G spectrum portfolio and network position.
"Assuming the deal completes in 2018, the headroom on Bharti's BBB- ratings will improve slightly, as we expect FFO-adjusted net leverage to be around 2.0x-2.1x in the financial year ending March 2019 compared with our expectation of 2.1x-2.2x at FYE18," Fitch said in a statement Friday. FFO is funds from operation. The Airtel-Tata Tele deal is slated to close in a year with some insiders suggesting this could happen even sooner. PhillipCapital says the Tata deal "could add Rs 30-35 to the target price for Bharti Airtel" and trigger a 5-6% improvement in the telco's ebitda over FY19. The deal, it said, is likely to increase Bharti's revenue market share (RMS) by 5% from current levels.
BNP Paribas backed the view, saying the Tata Tele buyout would take Bharti Airtel's RMS to 41.5%, bringing it "almost on a par with Idea-Vodafone, postmerger." The Idea-Vodafone's merged entity's combined RMS is envisaged at 43%. But some brokerages were unsure of the extent of bullishness investors could ascribe to Bharti Airtel shares. "The speed at which Jio is adding new subscribers every month begs the question if the telecom sector will be split into two-three or one-two players, in which case the extent of revenue that Bharti could make is a question that investors will have to see," said a fund manager at a domestic brokerage.

Friday Weekend Action
I'll be heading today to my favorite destination : Europe. I've been saying in a few posts already that we're planning a trip for the coming 3 weeks. I'm so excited for this one, because even if I've was born there (in the Netherlands to be exact) and was partially raised there (once again in the Netherlands), we'll be going places I've never been before while I was living there. I'm also excited to go the VT Wonen beurs. That will surely be on of the highlights for me.
I'll be planning to post 2 times a week, as I would be having allot of time to sit down and be on the blog. But you'll can see my actions on my Instagram. So be sure to follow me there. So for this Friday Weekend Action, I suggest you just have fun and try to explore and travel. Traveling is always a fun way to get inspired. Thank you for the reads and I'll be seeing you back soon here. Have a good one.

How to keep things rationally?
Some of you have thought about the question, how to store things in your home, how to come up with a rational, practical, useful storage space, spreading things, as they say, "on the shelves"? How to keep things rational? Surely the hostess came face to face with the problem. And today I want to offer you some very original ways, how to store things, making the surrounding area is not only convenient, but also beautiful and unusual. I want to push you to the idea that lit herein may help you come up with its own system for storing different things.
Let's get started…
How to store things in the house?
Keep things today are different ways and the modern market offers a lot of options – practical, comfortable dressing with drawers, cupboards with spacious compartments for clothes and stuff. But all of these options are very expensive. We dwell on the ways and possibilities how to store things that you can implement your own efforts.
If you do not know how to store things such as jewelry, then there are plenty of interesting options.
1. Hanger for jewelry: At the heart of this option is an old wooden hanger with three diamonds. Across this hanger stretched fishing line or strong thread, which subsequently hung earrings.
Here you can take and any hanger that has a frequent location of hooks, and simply attach it to the wall.
There is an option to use the old rake with frequent teeth too, it turns out very original.
2. Frame for jewelry: Is taken from the old frame a mirror or painting dye in the color you want. On the reverse side is fixed by adhesive laces, which subsequently are fastened earrings.
You can enroll in another way: the basis of the frame to put plywood on the front side decorate it with a cloth, and over the nail (but not entirely) fine cloves.
3. Tree for jewelry: It is made of thin but strong wires. Here is how to work your imagination. On the branches are doing curls and branches, which will hang on the tree different earrings and necklaces.
4. Stand for jewelry: Made wooden frame, which is delimited by rails space into equal parts. On a wooden base fills hooks and studs that will hangers for necklaces and earrings. For variety, you can draw a horizontal line in the direction of one of the parts of the stand, which will weigh earrings.
5. Cabinet for jewelry: Not knowing how to store things efficiently, particularly jewelry, make a cabinet with compartments – the vertical compartments for beads with a horizontal box – for rings and earrings.
If you do not know how to store things, especially shoes, I want to offer you a few ideas.
1. Shoe rack: This option is great for boots, taken trouser hangers, which are clamped to the boots. This method allows you to keep in shape during the off-season shoes.
There is another option How to keep things rational, which is based is taken from a wire hanger.
2. Shoebox: It is based on a simple box out of wine, which is necessary to strengthen the outside, for example, pasted paper or self-adhesive film.
3. Skirting shoes: Take the decorative moldings for floor or ceiling corner form is attached to the wall on one side.
4. Baskets for shoes: Come from the old wicker baskets rectangular walls are fixed to each other, are placed on a shelf or floor. It turns out a kind of shoe rack.
5. Organizer for shoes: Take the organizer for details, hung in a convenient location where you plan to store shoes. This method is suitable mainly for summer shoes.
6. Shelf of plumbing pipes: Undertake sanitary pipes of large diameter. Cut into equal pieces and glued together. Advantages of this method are any possibility of the shelf configuration and size.
7. Organizer of thick cardboard: A convenient place to store shoes that will not take up much space.
And to make such containers is not difficult.
8. Rails for ladies' shoes: If you do not know how to store things, especially ladies' high-heeled shoes, the rails to attach to the wall, for which the shoes will cling by the heels.
9. Pallets for shoes: There are enough pallets to paint in any suitable color and mount it on the wall.
The wires from the equipment:
Thinking how to store things, in particular the wires from different techniques, which are always a lot, I hasten to offer you several convenient ways:
1. CD-cases: Here it is enough to fold around the wires and put them in a box for CDs.
2. Round case: Take the cardboard base of toilet paper or paper towels, which neatly fold the wire. These cardboard boxes can be put in a box. Thus, you will have a specially designed space for storing cables.
3. Cardboard base: Take a piece of cardboard on which is wound around the wire. This "sheet" with the wires can be put in a box.
Garden tools:
It would seem like how to store things in the garden – not a problem. But not everyone can properly organize storage. Here are a few interesting ideas:
1. Old rake: Rusty rake can be recycled. Enough to clean up and paint them as needed and attach to the wall. The tools that I have at the end of the handle loop, you can hang on the teeth of the rake, which is very convenient.
2. Crate of rails: Take the wooden slats, do one crate and attach it to the wall. On the crate is not trying to drive nails completely. Due to these nails big garden tools will be kept on the wall.
Not to think, how to store things in the garden, you can build a special storage room, where you will be and buckets and spades and any fine tool for working in the garden.
How to keep things rational? Here is a minimal part of how to store things, what methods exist and that you can think of. In fact, to do variations in mass storage places, you just have to think about what is best for you.
You can also find other ideas for the home.

Several years ago I decided to take a trip to the dentist after skipping multiple appointments for over 15 years. I truly had a dental anxiety and had a hard time getting over my fears. Thankfully, my dental visit went smoothly with only four cavities identified. What I did find from this dental visit was that there was a great deal of new information and technology that I had been missing out on. Laser-based technology and digital imaging are just a few examples. With this blog, I want you to understand that you can get over your fears and learn about this new technology like I did, so enjoy the information.
If you currently have missing teeth or if you plan to have teeth pulled and you need an implant, you may actually want to find an implant surgeon prior to going to your dentist. The implant surgeon will be able to give you information on what a dental implant can and can't do for your smile. They will also be able to give you pertinent information that could save you money during the pre-surgical phase during your regular dental visits. Here are some questions to ask your dental surgeon during the planning phase.
Are bone grafts included in the price?
When you get a tooth pulled, you may need bone grafting in order to add a dental implant. If you do need grafting done, you should ask your dental surgeon if this process is included in the price. If the bone grafts are included in the price of the dental implant, it will be more price conscious for you to allow the dental surgeon to perform this. If you can skip bone grafting during the tooth extraction phase, the price of a tooth pulling is much lower.
Can you get a mold taken of your mouth?
One of the processes that must take place during the dental implant phase is getting a crown that fits your tooth. If you have not yet had your teeth pulled, you should get a mold taken at your dental surgeon's office if possible. This will allow your dental surgeon to have a complete composite of your mouth and know the appropriate dimensions of any crown that needs to go into your mouth. If the teeth are already missing, your dental surgeon can inspect your mouth before your teeth shift any further to determine where the teeth should sit in the gums.
Determine what works better as an extraction and a root canal
If there are teeth that appear to be in good condition, your dental surgeon may be willing to apply a crown to these teeth instead of having you get the tooth extraction and dental implant. Have your oral surgeon determine which teeth appear to be in good condition and can be saved by a regular crown. This will give you a complete game plan before you visit your regular dentist. Since you must wait for a number of months after dental work and extractions, having a complete plan of action will speed up your recovery and your dental implant process.
Talk to a dentist, like George N. Bryan Jr, DDS, PA, for more help.Share

However, after I restarted the computer, strange thing happened I can't find that user on the Account Preferences Pane, it disappear like a ninja (lolx)
P.S: In "Sharing" preferences pane, I can see that user if I click on the "+" button which is for adding user permission.

The snow mountain has been defeated!
(That silvery-white bit in the middle of the grass is a drainage ditch. Not snow. WHEW.)
We said goodbye to it on Monday, April 14, after a weekend full of "a whole lotta, much deserved sunshine," just as LESLIE predicted.
Leslie, shoot me an email - kris AT krisfletcher.com - so I can send some Dinosaur Sensuous Slathering Sauce your way!
Many thanks to all who played. You made the wait to say farewell to the snow a lot more fun.

Environment secretary Michael Gove has reopened controversy over oxo-biodegradable plastics (OBPs) by declaring on television that he asked Government scientists to examine them as a "potentially exciting development".
Speaking on the BBC's One Show, Gove said: "One of the things we want to do with the money that any new plastic tax might raise is make sure that it actually goes into supporting innovation and making it more attractive to people to be in the recycling business."
He said he had spoken to companies with interests in OBPs "and got our Government chief scientific adviser to look at the science behind it".
"It's a potentially exciting development," he added. "But we need to be certain, actually, that if we're going to put public money behind some of these schemes that we are absolutely confident that we deliver the results that the inventors and the entrepreneurs behind them are so anxious to deliver."
Gove's comments are sharply different from the opinion of the European Commission. In January it said it would take steps to restrict the use of OPBs following concerns that the material fragments into microplastics that pollute oceans instead of being 'eaten' by micro-organisms as intended.
The Commission's plastics strategy, launched on 16 January, warned that biodegradable and compostable plastics could lead to greater littering and compromise recycled material streams unless they were clearly labelled.
Last November the Ellen MacArthur Foundation called in a report for a worldwide ban on the materials.
Rob Opsomer, lead for systemic initiatives at the foundation, said at the time: "The available evidence overwhelmingly suggests that OBPs do not achieve what their producers claim and instead contribute to microplastic pollution.
"In addition, these materials are not suited for effective long-term reuse, recycling at scale or composting, meaning they cannot be part of a circular economy."
Michael Stephen, deputy chairman of Symphony Environmental Technologies, which manufactures OBPs, told MRW: "I think the Government has realised that something has to be done about plastics pollution and is aware of public concern."
Arguments over the benefits and pitfalls of the materials have been raging for years, with research by a number of bodies being disputed by Symphony.

About Letters of Love Designs
My name is Nikki, & I'm the owner, photographer, and sign-builder of Letters of Love Designs. I've been photographing letters & making signs since 2011.
I've been selling on Etsy since 2009, and I've been able to maintain a 5-Star Rating with over 1,500 happy customers. I've now expanded to my own website, here, too! Good customer service is my goal, with kind interaction, and doing my best to find a perfect combo of letters to match your style, space & budget.
I've incorporated my love of photography, architecture, country structures, working with my hands, and my interest in words & sayings together, to be able to create unique & personalized art. Its a joy for me to make custom wood signs because it gives me an outlet for my creativity, along with giving me a chance to connect with others and share what I have to offer. I try to keep it fresh and new with different design ideas. Originally I started out offering only black and white letters, and in late 2012, I began offering color letters, too. I get super-excited when a customer requests a custom order that's a bit different from the norm. I couldn't do any of it without my husband, who is the trusty board-cutter of the business. Without him, there would be no wood signs :)
A little more about me, personally: I am a mom of two sweet boys and a Registered Nurse by trade. After a 20-year long stretch of working in healthcare, I've taken a bit of a break to recharge and focus on my craft full-time.

Bratton Clovelly Parish Hall
Doors and Bar 7pm/Lecture 7.30 Refreshments available
David Tovey is a well known art historian, who specializes in Cornish art, and Will Titcomb, one of the first artist settlers in St Ives in the late 1880s, is his great-grandfather. Titcomb is best known as the leading figure painter in St Ives of the 1890s and a highly regarded member of the Newlyn School.
However, there is more to William Titcomb than his highly successful career in Cornwall and many of his paintings now have immense social-historical interest. He led a peripatetic life, which saw him paint in Burma, where his father was the first Bishop of Rangoon, in Germany, Bristol, France, Spain, Italy and Yugoslavia. He produced an extraordinarily varied body of work, in oils, pastels and watercolours, but had a particular fascination with different displays of faith in the regions that he visited. William Titcomb was, indeed, an artist of many parts and the driving inspiration for David's research on Cornish Art.
