The p-Lur project – Part 4: it's all coming to a head
The distinctive feature of the Scandinavian Lur is undoubtedly it's dimpled head. This is the bit that makes it recognisable as a symbol of ancient Denmark, and likens its appearance to something in the B&Q bathroom catalogue (where is the temperature control on this thing?). I learned recently that these instruments are also known as a 'gjallarhorn', or … Continue reading The p-Lur project – Part 4: it's all coming to a head
The p-Lur project – Part 3: Bending it like Brudevælte
It's been a while since my last post on this topic, and that is because progress has been a little slow, and writing about it has had to come second to getting it finished! However, it is now near enough done and being played in rehearsals for the premiere of my new piece for æðelfrìth: brass quintet, being … Continue reading The p-Lur project – Part 3: Bending it like Brudevælte
The p-Lur project – Part 2: Raspberry Pi
I've spent most of today blowing raspberries down a piece of pipe. This is actually what I do for a living, but today it has mostly sounded like that was what I was doing. Normally I'd hope it sounds a bit more like music. Today, it has all been a bit different: Since the first post on this project, … Continue reading The p-Lur project – Part 2: Raspberry Pi
The p-Lur project – part 1
This is my first post on what will be an insight into my latest project; the p-Lur. Since demand for Lurs is probably not that great, this is more of an experiment for personal satisfaction than any kind of commercial venture. However, I am currently writing a Viking-inspired piece for my group æðelfrìth which I hope … Continue reading The p-Lur project – part 1

Monster Claw
5 out of 5 stars Thursday 10 March, 2011 By Marianne Tothill
I ordered these slippers for my 8 year old to dress up as a monster for red nose day. I left it a bit late to order, and was worried i wouldn't receive them in time for the occasion. I was so impressed they were dispatched on the same day i ordered them, and they came the next day! They are good quality and i will definately be buying from you again.

The title may lead you to expect an album full of anti-Christmas sentiments, but don't be fooled: Davis and Perrine's Christmas disc may have its irreverent moments, but at heart it's a proudly old-fashioned Christmas album, with a mood that's warm and even inspirational.
It's no small feat to do this sort of album without any cheap sentiment, but that's what Davis and Perrine manage here.
Bookending the album are two versions of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"—opening the album with the downcast Depression-era lyrics that Judy Garland originally sang, then closing the disc with the more familiar words, with a few lines changed to make it more upbeat. The positioning of those two versions makes a hopeful point without getting too obvious.
Likewise, Davis alone on ukulele gives a thoughtful reading to "There Are Much Worse Things to Believe In"—first done by Elvis Costello and Stephen Colbert—making it a perfect Christmas song for cynics.
There are a few moments of pure fun, including a rollicking take on Tom Lehrer's "Hanukkah in Santa Monica"—about time someone covered that—and Perrine taking his sousaphone for a "Sleigh Ride" with Washboard Chaz providing the gallops. One of the hipper Christmas songs around, "Baby It's Cold Outside," gets a suitably frisky duet from Davis and Alex McMurray.
But it's the more traditional moments here that really stand out. Susan Cowsill appears for a lovely duet on "Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth"—using the famous Bowie/Bing Crosby arrangement but making it less camp and more angelic. Helen Gillet's cello adds an unearthly mood to "A Cradle in Bethlehem," and "Mary's Boy Child" gets freshened up with banjo, violin and reggae rhythms.
And if you weren't already knocked out by Davis' voice, the seven minutes' worth of gospel fervor on "The Holy Baby" will do it.

In the Kitchen With: Greg and Lucy Malouf's Toasted Quinoa Salad
This week's recipe for Toasted Quinoa with Coriander, Lime and Crunchy Pumpkin comes from chef Greg Malouf and food writer Lucy Malouf, authors of the cookbook New Feast: Modern Middle Eastern Vegetarian, their seventh. I was very attracted to this recipe not only because summer is the best time to enjoy wonderful tomatoes, basil, and summer squash, but because it is super quick to pull together, travels well, and can be served at room temperature without losing any flavor. Like the farro salad we had on this column a few weeks ago, this can serve as inspiration for combining your own flavors and ingredients. Perfect for summer when your garden is giving you lots of choices! —Kristina
Why Lucy loves this recipe: There are so many reasons to love this summery salad, not least because it makes a delicious, gluten-free change from the ubiquitous tabbouleh! These days, most of us know that quinoa is a brilliant "superfood," with high levels of protein, fiber, iron and other essential elements, but it's also quick and easy to prepare and wonderfully versatile. I also love it for its pretty, pearly sheen. Here, it makes a terrific base to a salad, which is also chock-full of vital, palate-enlivening fresh herbs as well as spicy, citrus flavors from the lime-sumac dressing. Greg and I were so pleased to discover that fried shredded pumpkin (squash) works like fried onions to provide a sweet crunch to the salad and makes a lovely counterpoint to the tangy dressing. It's best to use a firm squash, like a butternut.

Toasted Quinoa with Coriander, Lime and Crunchy Pumpkin
Serves 4
This is a more robust dish than the Cucumber, Quinoa & Tarragon-Yogurt salad on page 178 and, as such, we think the quinoa benefits from a light toasting before cooking, to bring out its nutty flavor.
It is rather common to use fried onion as a crunchy garnish for Middle Eastern dishes and we've recently started applying the same treatment to shredded pumpkin (squash), which also has a sweet base note. It works brilliantly! Serve this dish, which is full of spicy, tangy flavours, warm or at room temperature.
– 100 g (3 ½ oz – rounded half cup) quinoa
– 350 ml (12 fl oz) vegetable stock or water
– 150 g (5 ½ oz – 2/3 cup) peeled pumpkin (squash), grated
– 250 ml (9 fl oz) vegetable oil
– ½ teaspoon ground cumin
– ½ teaspoon sea salt
– 3 spring onions (scallions), trimmed and finely diced
– 4 vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, diced
– 1 ½ cups coriander (cilantro) leaves, shredded
– ¼ cup purple basil leaves (or use ordinary basil)
– 1 teaspoon Turkish red chilli flakes
Lime-sumac dressing
– juice of ½ lime
– 30 ml (1 fl oz) extra-virgin olive oil
– 1 teaspoon sumac
– ½ teaspoon ground cumin
– salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat a small saucepan and dry-fry the quinoa for 2–3 minutes, stirring to ensure it colors evenly. Add the stock or water. Bring to the boil. Simmer for 12 minutes – it will bubble vigorously and then settle down. Then tip into a sieve and set aside.
Put the grated pumpkin in a tea towel and squeeze to extract as much moisture as you can.
Heat the vegetable oil in a small frying pan until it starts to shimmer. Add the pumpkin to the oil and cook for 4–5 minutes over a medium heat, moving it constantly in the oil to ensure it colors evenly. You may need to do this in batches. Drain in a sieve and then on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with cumin and salt and set aside.
To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
Tip the quinoa into a serving bowl and toss through the spring onions, tomatoes, coriander and chilli flakes. Add the dressing and stir well. Top with the fried pumpkin and serve straight away.
About Greg and Lucy: Acclaimed chef, Greg Malouf, along with writing partner Lucy Malouf, has produced six award-winning cookbooks. In 2012 Greg took over the reins at the iconic Petersham Nurseries Café in Richmond, where his Middle Eastern take on seasonal dining helped retain the restaurant's Michelin star. Greg is now based in Dubai where he opened another restaurant in 2014. Lucy has collaborated with some of the best-known chefs on cookbooks and projects and is regarded as one of the most experienced food editors in the publishing industry.

Chicken in a versatile main ingredient for making dinner, as the light and tasty flavor of chicken pairs well with a wide variety of items and thus having an assortment of chicken dinner ideas can help you when you need to think up of new ways to cook and use chicken. You can serve chicken for dinner in a variety of ways, with each style being completely different as chicken work well with all types of cooking styles, regional cuisines, flavors and serving options. Some of the best ways to serve chicken for dinner use chicken as the main part of the entree and then build the rest of the meal around the chicken. Chicken dinner ideas can be created by substituting chicken in place of other meats, or by simply building dishes around chicken.
Chicken Dinner Ideas With Rice
Chicken which has been marinated and seasoned can be sauteed, baked or even pan fried to cook and then served on top of a bed of rice for a hearty and satisfying dinner option. You can play around with various flavor combination to mix up the way you serve chicken and rice. Chicken, cheddar cheese, rice, and broccoli can be baked for a fabulous casserole which is a one dish meal. You can stir fry chicken and vegetables in soy sauce and serve over white rice for an Asian style dinner. Grilled chicken served with a side of wild rice and a few steamed vegetables is an alternate option that is satisfying and nutritious.
Chicken Dinner Ideas With Pasta
Chicken is a light enough meat to be ideal for adding to pasta dishes. Chicken can be sliced thinly and sauteed in olive oil and then tossed with pasta, Alfredo sauce, and vegetables for a tasty dinner option. If you preferred the sauce with your pasta, pan fried breaded chicken, top with cheese and serve over top of spaghetti and red sauce for a chicken Parmesan dish that is sure to please everyone. You can play around with various pasta dishes and incorporate chicken into the sauce, and you can even use ground chicken for making spaghetti sauce that is tasty and lower in fat compared to those made with ground beef or sausage.
Chicken Dinner Ideas With Salad
Chicken that has been marinated in either a wet sauce or dry rub can be grilled, broiled or pan-seared to lock in flavor. Though you can serve this alongside a starch and vegetables; you can also slice down the warm chicken and create a filling dinner salad. Adding sliced chicken on top of a salad made from lettuce, onions, carrots, cabbage, chickpeas, peppers, cheese and croutons makes for good chicken dinner ideas. You can play around with various salad ingredients, and match the flavors to the marinade for a really great dinner option. One alternate way to use chicken in a salad is to use the chicken as the basis and make a chicken salad of cut up chicken, celery, onions and mayonnaise and then serve the chicken salad in lettuce bowls for a twist on chicken and salad as a dinner entree.

Over at TVsquad today, there's an article ranking television's top 100 most memorable female characters. It's an interesting list and there are quite a few science fiction and fantasy characters involved. It doesn't say by what criteria they are ranked, but I'd really love to know. I get that 'memorable' is entirely subjective, and it all depends on who's doing the ranking – and the audience to whom you're pitching the article. Regardless, I was pretty irked by something I saw on the first page.
Samantha Carter was ranked below Brenda Walsh.
I'm going to date myself here, but I grew up with original Beverly Hills, 90210 and I remember watching it religiously. As for the Stargate franchise, I didn't watch it during its original run, but I recently watched Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis in their entirety. I guess for me it's a question of impact. What did I take away from watching these two distinctly different characters?
What I Learned From Brenda Walsh
Being the new girl sucked. Being your brunette self amidst all the cookie cutter blondes was hard, and unless you changed who you were to suit them you could never be valued. 'Bitch' was more than just a word; it was an art form. If you channeled enough anger into the art of bitchiness, you could get ahead. (Nice girls got the shaft, so why bother?) You were defined by who your boyfriend was, and by how he felt about you. Act out. Act up. Disrespect your loving parents!
What I Learned From Samantha Carter
Being the new girl sucked. Being the only woman in a male-dominated field was hard, but if you established up front that you were capable, competent and a team player, you could be a valued member of the team. If you gave your opinion in a calm and professional manner – but defended it passionately when questioned – those in authority would consider your advice. (But you had to accept it graciously and move on when they didn't agree with you – even when you were right.) You were defined by what you did and how you acted, and the people you helped might never know you existed. But you did it anyway.
I was 14 the first time I saw Brenda Walsh. I was 33 the first time I saw Sam Carter. And at each age, I wanted to be the woman on the screen. I channeled my inner bitch pretty relentlessly when I was younger. As I've grown older (and worked in a male-dominated field for the last 12 years) I've learned that the value of being calm and professional can't be overstated - and that the honey gets you farther than the sting. (And, hey, if the honey doesn't work, you can bust out the sting later. It's tough to do it the other way around.)
Seeing these two dramatically different women ranked this way makes me wonder: What would the result have been if it had been the other way around for me? If I'd seen calm, capable, brilliant Samantha Carter when I was 14, would I have spent so long thinking that Brenda-esque bitch-mode was the answer? It's tough to say. I would have liked that chance, though.
I cringe when I remember being a Brenda. I aspire to be a Samantha. TVSquad, I am disappoint.

Insolvency Practitioner
Facing the reality that your business may be insolvent or that you are in serious financial difficulty can be extremely hard to do.
It can be easier to leave the letters from your creditors lying unopened and to ignore the phone calls chasing outstanding payments rather than face the reality of what is in front of you.
The pressure of these worries can build and build, leaving you feeling trapped and uncertain about your future but if you are concerned about the viability of your business and need to find a licensed insolvency practitioner, call us as soon as you can.
How do I know if my business is facing insolvency?
There are some signs that could indicate that your business is in a position of insolvency. Some of these are:
- No cash – if you cannot pay the day to day running costs of your business you may already be insolvent.
- Creditor issues – when you are getting calls or letters asking for immediate payment from HMRC, credit card providers or your mortgage company you may get a winding-up order shortly.
- No more credit – your bank won't lend you any more money and your suppliers say you have reached your credit limit.
- Unpaid wages – where staff or company directors are not being paid.
Some or all of these signs are indicators that your business is heading towards insolvency, if it isn't already there so if you recognise some of these things in your own business, call us today to discuss your options.
Insolvency – what can I do?
You and your fellow directors are responsible to ensure that act in a responsible way and to act in the best interests of your creditors. This includes making the difficult decision to stop trading and consider voluntary liquidation. You should then take steps to discuss the circumstances with a business insolvency professional and to advise HMRC and your creditors of your insolvency.
In some limited situations, a restructure of your business may help to avoid insolvency, but this is normally only an option if you tackle the issues early on.
What can Berley do to help?
Insolvency isn't the end of the world, even though it can seem like it at the time. We won't judge you or the circumstances you find yourself in, nor will we dissect all the mistakes that have occurred throughout the process. What we will do is to help you to be clear about what the future holds for you and your business, which will help you to come to terms with this difficult situation. Insolvency doesn't mean you have to go bankrupt either, the two are very different, although insolvency can certainly lead to bankruptcy, and this is something as insolvency advisors that we are here to assist you with.
We offer you a Free Initial Consultation to discuss your situation in confidence with an insolvency expert. This will allow us to explain the options open to you and the implications of these options so you can consider carefully what your next steps will be. Once we have agreed on a plan of action, we'll support you through the process and hopefully put you back in a position where you can trade again.
Contact licensed insolvency practitioners today
If you want to talk to one of our experienced London insolvency practitioners, please call us now on 020 7636 9094, email us on email@example.com or complete our Free Online Enquiry and we'll be in touch.

Getting started with Tarkovsky
Those of you studying film at A2 level will be lucky enough to consider at least one film by Andrei Tarkovsky. The useful Open Culture site has an interesting series on famous directors' first – often student – films, and it recently covered the first films of Tarkovsky. What better place to start getting to know his films than right at the beginning?
Also, don't miss the Tarkovsky-inspired film made by Tyler Moore for his A2 film studies coursework.
Nora Ephron: mainstream feminist?
There's been a lot written about Nora Ephron recently following her death. Many writers are keen to point out her value as a feminist role model. Elaine Showalter's 'My Hero' article from The Guardian is a good starting point, but do look at the other articles on Nora Ephron, especially those from around the 27th June 2012.

True Believers
An Al Gore True Believer said this to me yesterday: "I'm not the problem. Society is the problem." This person sells real estate and drives a big Mercedes all day long in his job in our Connecticut exurbia.
A lovely anecdote, courtesy of Maggie's Farm, which also lists things you will do if you sincerely "believe in a man-made global warming crisis:"
Will not fly on airplanes
Will live close enough to work to walk or bike
Will turn off your electric power - and no oil lamps. No computers - they are energy sponges.
Will cease to mow your lawn
Will heat your home with solar power, or, better yet, not at all. It takes a lot of energy to create those solar panels
Will give up eating beef
Will junk your cars, tractors, lawn-mowers, boats, chain saws, etc.
Will wear no synthetics, or clothing requiring electric power to produce
Will grow all of your own food so it doesn't have to be trucked to your supermarket
Which is probably meant to be provocative, but it also happens to be a serious list. Like any good egoist, I checked myself against it and came out pretty far on the "green" side, but not necessarily for green reasons (I don't fly more than once every 4 or 5 years because I can't stand being sardined into coach class and I can't afford business class).
Really, a lot of these can be accomplished by the simple tactic of living in a small, older city without an extensive suburb. I work six blocks from my home (#2), mow my tiny lawn with an old-fashioned push-mower (#4), can keep the heat down because the buildings are close to each other and tree-shaded, which moderates the weather (#5, partially), and buy most of our groceries at a local farmer's market from the people who grow them, or are one step removed from the local producers.
And all that greenliness from a fascist centerpiece of the right-wing warmonger America-destroying wingnutosphere.
Back to Maggie's:
If you do not do those things, then I won't believe that you are genuinely concerned, and will not take you seriously. Show me what to do - don't tell me what to do. Government and the UN first, please. Greenies second.
Just don't tell me that you are going to continue to enjoy these luxuries until the government forces you not to. Show leadership and individual responsibility. No pseudo-virtuous tokenism, please.
There are two things to be kept separate here: One is the reality of the condition of the climate, so far as we can determine it, and the role of human activity in whatever ways it is trending (and that itself is three different things).
The other is the political and psychological quirks that surge to the surface of some people as they react to that situation. And those are potentially as dangerous to the balancing Earth as capitalism or whatever the bogey man du jour is.
A psychological need to punish Western and American prosperity in the name of saving the planet will drive you to downplay the effect of pollution and resource extraction from emerging economies in the non-Western world. Which figure to be serious contributors to the problem in the short-term, and in some cases already are.
Do you love the Earth more than you resent Bu$hco? Do you want to give your grandchildren a cleaner world more than you need to validate your own anger by protesting and picketing?
To be serious about it, you have to confront the climatological models, and you have to cut through the psychological fallacies as rationally and calmly as possible. Probably not one in 100 of the people most loudly participating in this debate is doing that.

Laura Mercier gives back with the launch of the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund. Its mission is to raise awareness and fund research and educational efforts that will help diagnose, treat and support women with ovarian cancer. Read on for more…
Beginning in September 2012, in recognition of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, 100% of the profits from the sale of two products – the Bonne Mine Healthy Glow for Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette and Rose Hope Lip Glacé – will be donated to the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund.
The cause is very near and dear to the hearts of Laura Mercier, and the company's President and CEO, Claudia Poccia. Both women have been personally touched by the disease – Laura through a dear friend, and Claudia through her sister.
The Bonne Mine Healthy Glow for Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette($48) was inspired by Laura Mercier's work with celebrity clients, who wanted a universal compact that would "wake-up" their skin and give them an immediate healthy glow. The Palette includes 1 Bronzer Veil, 2 Cheek Veils and 2 Glow Veils. This Palette will be a permanent addition to the line and will be available next month at Laura Mercier retailers nationwide.
The Limited-Edition Laura Mercier Rose Hope Lip Glace ($24) is a high-shine, perfectly pigmented lip gloss with rich, long-lasting colour and brilliant shine. The shade is one of those go-with-everything colours that you can't go wrong picking up. The Laura Mercier Rose Hope Lip Glace will be available in September at Laura Mercier retailers nationwide.
If you're shopping for a new universal face palette or a new lip gloss, the Laura Mercier products benefitting the Ovarian Cancer Fund are worth considering!

November 21, 2008 --
ISRAELI foreign minister Tzipi Livni, who could become prime minister after February's general elections, threw a tempter tantrum aboard a recent El Al flight from Tel Aviv to Newark after she was seated in business class instead of first. "She really went berserk over the fact that there were kids near her," says a fellow passenger. "She kept grumbling about how she wanted to get off the plane, but couldn't because she absolutely had to be in New York for a meeting the next day. It was appalling." The Israeli consulate did not return calls.
I guess Tzippi should hire this guy to help her out.

Hello my Bunnies,
I'm now back from London so this is the end of pre-published articles.
Today I want to talk to you about a subject that excites me greatly and that for some reason I haven't seen anyone else address.
I was in London with a friend and in all innocence we walked into the Lush shop on Oxford St. But the Lush shop on Oxford St. isn't just any Lush Shop. Oh no ! It has 3 floors !!!
So we spent over an hour in there lusting over everything. Yes because not only did it have 3 floors it also contained 200 new lush products that are exclusive to this shop at the moment.
So we did pick up what we initially walked in for, but also a couple more things because the new products were just irresistible. [read more="Read more" less="Read less"]
I'm not sure how it's going to be from there on, but I'm assuming that the most popular products will then be stocked in more shops.
But let's get to what made it into my basket !
First, I picked up a back-up of the Ro's Argan Body Conditioner as I fell head over heels in love with this product and it is a lot cheaper in the UK than it is here.
You can read a full review here.
But I also picked up the Ultrabland facial cleanser and the Mask of Magnaminty that is supposed to help with break outs as I've heard only good things about these two.
So I've never tried them myself but I'm excited to see if they perform as well as everyone says.
Next, I found the eye pigments. Fairy dust I'd say. There were so many different colours, all very pretty !
I chose Optimist, a golden pearly white with loads of tiny glitter.
I love that each shade has a positive character trait for name. I almost picked up Sophisticated but they were out of stock.
I also love love love the packaging. These little bottles are perfect to store fairy dust in 😉
I haven't used it yet and I have very little experience with pigments but I'm hoping it'll be as much of a pleasure to use and wear as it is to look at.
And here come the new bath bombs !
Divination :
This is one of the reusable bubble bars. I love bubble baths so I was going to pick this one up. It says on the packaging that it smells like patchouli, rose and amber. I don't know about that but it does smell delicious !
Cyanide Pill :
This one is supposed to smell like rosewood and almonds. Again, I don't know about that but it does smell very nice. They say that this is a spectacular bath bomb so I can't wait to try it and I'll report back.
May Day :
To be honest, I mostly picked up this one because it represents a badger. It also has the typical Lush scent, the one you can smell when you walk into the shop.
Shark Infested Custard :
I love the name, the humour and custard so this one made it into my basket in no time. Plus it smells like vanilla.
But the most exciting part about this little one is that the formula is different from everything else. It's not a bath bomb, it's not a bubble bar and it's not exactly a bath melt either. They're called bath oil.
These are little balls of solid oil that melt into your bath and make it nourishing for your skin.
Retrospectively I should have picked up more of these as they are really different from everything else and they had something like 15 different scents and colours but hopefully they will come soon enough into more shops !
Rose Jam :
This bath bomb looks incredible, it is shaped like a rose (sadly it doesn't really come out on the pictures) and a macaroon at the same time and it smells just like Ro's Argan. I couldn't resist !
So that's everything I picked up and quite frankly, given the number of amazing things that were in this shop I'm quite proud of how I restrained myself 😛
I'm thinking about doing some kind of "Lush Diary" every time I use a bath bomb to tell you what I think of it.
Do you know anything about these brand new products ?

Queen Elizabeth II has issued a decree to ensure all children born to Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge will receive a royal title.
The young couple is currently expecting a baby and authorities in Britain are fast-tracking a new law to change the rules on succession so if the child is a girl, she will be allowed to rule after her father - a right traditionally reserved for male heirs.
The Queen has now issued a formal decree to declare all of the couple's children will be given royal titles, instead of just the first boy. The ruling means that if Catherine gives birth to a baby girl, she will receive the title of Princess.
All boys after their first-born son will also receive the title of Prince.
The decree was issued on 31 December (12), but was not made public until Wednesday (09Jan13).

Sophie got invited to a birthday party held at Amazonia last Sunday. If you haven't heard, Amazonia is the latest indoor playground in Singapore boasting of a 9,000-square-foot area of fun and adventure. For a mom, I would say that the greatest plus point is their convenient location in Great World City, where you can catch up on some shopping or a meal after the kids had their fun.
This was Sophie's first time in an indoor playgym. But instead of her going wow, this mummy was wowed by the sheer size of this playgym. There are two main sections in the playground differentiated by the age groups.
The dedicated Jungle Gym for babies and toddlers from age 0-3 years.
In here, the area is well padded and equipped with plenty of toys and structures suitable for active toddlers. You definitely can't miss the step piano which plays musical notes when you step on them.
Initially Sophie was a little overwhelmed by the sight of so many children jumping and running around. Thankfully, there were age appropriate toys sprawled around for her to play quietly.
Like reading a book with Daddy. Watching the animals pop up with a twist or a turn.
Structure on the wall that encourages dexterity. Uncovering her musical talents with the xylophone.
But she soon warmed up after there was food and she started to get into the swing of things. (Told you food always works for her)
Amazonia proves to be a great party venue too. They have two themed party rooms complete with kiddy tables and chairs. The food served was also a hit with the kids. We enjoyed a variety of sandwiches, fried rice, pizzas, nuggets, chicken wings, fries and even a fruit platter.
After Sophie was fueled up, it was back to the jungle gym. Seeing how much fun Sophie had in the colorful ball pit …
Alexis went for it too!
Even I couldn't resist!
But the main highlight for the older kids must be the 3 storey vertical maze with a 8 meter high wave slide that had the kids going again and again and again. Even I had a go at it and had a blast!
But wait, that's not all, Amazonia also features a glow-in-the-dark indoor golf course as well as an interactive spaceball shoot-out game. Very cool stuff!
For parents looking to kick back and catch a breather while your kids play, you'll be pleased to know that Amazonia has a dining area that overlooks the playground. Just going by the standard of the food we had at the party, I would say that they serve pretty good food.
So are you ready for some Amazonia fun after this review? PS: Don't forget your socks!
Opening Hours:
Monday to Sunday:10am to 10pm
Charges :
- $20 for 2 hours of play for 3 months -3 years old
- $30 for 2 hours of play for 3 – 12 years old

Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe shine in this heartwarming forgotten true story
What better time to talk about diversity in America than in a time after the U.S election. After talks of division and race, Hidden Figures brings a feel good story that focuses on inclusion and teamwork. For all that is worth, Theodore Melfi's new movie isn't perfect, but it's damn hard to hate.
Uncovering the untold story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughn (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), 3 black women working in NASA in the 1960s, we follow the lives of each woman trying to prosper in a time where differences were judged. All three women are smart, however, working against them are their skin color and gender.
Johnson's incredible ability to solve math problems, Vaughn's fantastic leadership skills and Jackson's dream to become the first female engineer are all important parts to how NASA has won the space race. The only problem is that they are not seen as part of the team. Instead, they are viewed as inferiors, and the only way that NASA will send its first man in space is by embracing the diversity within.
Very much a movie about teamwork, Hidden Figures preaches a message of inclusion, love, and togetherness. Taraji P. Henson does an excellent job delivering what it feels like to have the world against you. Her character's soft, obedient nature is a powerful depiction of just how black people were to respond. Contrasting her is Janelle Monae's character, who is the sassy back-talking aspiring engineer. Her performance in this and in Moonlight make her an actress on the watch list in the coming years.
All three leading actresses help elevate the feel good story even when it does feel like a glossy history class movie. Its production value is a bit lacking, and some of the shots are blurry and sloppy but what helps the film is the way it grabs you emotionally with well-written characters worth rooting for. The way director Theodore Melfi (St. Vincent) weaves in all the big or little barriers black people had to overcome, and it is genius. There is a running joke about how Henson's character needs to walk 30 minutes to the bathroom and back because there is no colored bathroom in her building. Small things like that make Hidden Figures that more compelling.
Jim Parson plays yet another Sheldon type character. Although, Hidden Figures dodges the feeling of being TV at multiple times, Parson's character kept the movie from fully being cinematic. The casting choice is poor and too on the nose to take seriously. There is no reason to believe that Parson was the only one able to play that character. He takes you out of the movie with every scene he is in from his facial expressions to his dialogue.
The scenes that Parson doesn't inhabit totally work. Mahershala Ali, Kristen Dunst, and Kevin Costner all do an excellent job. The script gives them space to improve and develop as characters.
Whether it will be sexism, racism or just plain discrimination, Hidden Figures is ultimately a great feel-good story that you cannot possibly hate. You may want more from it, but what we got is a compelling untold story about incredibly smart women who changed history and finally their story can be heard.

So all of this stuff is from the Boots Botanics line. The only sad thing about these products are the lack of variety in colours (mostly earthtones)where I get them as well as the names aren't on the packages so once you throw away the box it's up to you so remember the names.
|Here are the eye shadows in their
individual packages (L-R): Clove, Cinnamon, Sage, Orchid
|Lipstick from the same Boots Botanics line in Comfrey
|These are the eyeshadow colours I bought for the amazing price of $2 each :)
|Clove- a pretty brown with bronze shimmer
|Cinnamon- a light tan with cool silvery shimmer
|Sage- olive green with a gold shimmer
|Orchid- light pastel green with iridescent shimmer
|Rose Pink with Gold undertones
|Sheer but build-able colour
|Cute Packaging ^_^

We are back in Kyoto after our week-long stay in Tokyo. During our first day in Kyoto – we didn't have enough time to go around and see all the sites. The House of Queens just realized we can't leave Japan without a sighting of the traditional houses that Kyoto is known for. However, we also wanted to see if we can spot a Geisha.
We got off the Gion bus station. Within five minutes of walking we did spot a Geisha or a Maiko. I fumbled through my camera to get it to turn on. She was crossing the street and as I got my shot, a car passed by between us.
Believe me. There's a Geisha behind that car.
So I learned my lesson. If I had any chance of taking a photo of the elusive Geisha, I would have to treat this like a Safari shoot. I need to have my camera on stand-by. We did find the traditional district of Gion and we were amazed at the old houses. We decided to have dinner in one of the restaurants. Still – there were no sightings of a Geisha. We did get a good shot of a couple of ladies in Kimono. If we were not looking for a Geisha, we would have been ecstatic over the shot of these ladies walking side by side with this tourist couple.
The camera was still on stand-by. Ready to shoot a picture. Then, while we were not expecting it, another Geisha was approaching us. My camera was ready and this time, I got a good shot of a Geisha (or maybe she's a Maiko) as she walked along Hanami-Koji.
As soon as she got spotted, she quickly "glided" into the entrance of this house and disappeared.

WIlliam Kennedy Community Park
In partnership with the City of Lawrence, Groundwork Lawrence has completed the rehabilitation of the William Kennedy Community Park. Located in the Arlington neighborhood it is a new 1-acre green space along the Spicket River adjacent to Central Catholic High School. The park, which sits in the flood plain, will provide much-needed open space for local residents while helping to absorb storm water and minimizing the impact of chronic flooding on the surrounding neighborhood. The park is being enhanced by planned improvements to Central Catholic's parking lot and adjacent city-owned property, which will further contribute to improved storm water management in the area. Thanks to the persistence and hard work of everyone involved, the completion of this project represents an important and long-awaited milestone in the development of the Spicket River Greenway.

If you have decided to invest in some home improvement projects to add value to your property, focussing on the bathroom could be a great idea. A bathroom makeover is the perfect way of creating a luxurious and relaxing space that can add value and enjoyment to your home.
Of course, getting the design right is a crucial step, so read through this post if you need some inspiration and find out more about five of the latest design trends to hit bathrooms this year.
Seaside Style
The so-called seaside style is set to become a big design trend this year. Bathrooms and shower rooms are all about the flow of water, and with just a few design touches you can truly transform your daily shower into a natural and beach-inspired experience. Simply adding some seaside-inspired touches will go a long way. Next time you're on the beach, pick up some driftwood, shells, and rocks and play with them to create unique bathroom accessories.
Opt for a Mosaic
Mosaics have been adorning bathrooms for hundreds of years, and for a good reason too. Patterned mosaic tiles are here to stay, as they are versatile, will stand the test of time, and will add a luxurious and truly personalised touch to any bathroom. The trend this year is to create retro-inspired patterns and to add a splash of colour with mosaic tiles.
Embrace the Curves
Curvy shapes create a sense of comfort and balance so bear this in mind if you're replacing your bathtub, adding a partition to your bathroom, or simply updating your bathroom fixings or accessories. Moreover, curvy shapes can help you save space too.
Open Walk In Showers
There is something liberating about walking into an open shower, especially if it's fitted with a luxurious rain shower head. It's amazing how such a simple idea can turn your bathroom into a luxurious and spa-like space.
Keep it Clean and Simple
Uncluttered and minimalist bathroom design will always be in style. This year, designers are favouring monochrome colour schemes in classic tones like dark grey, jet black, and white. When it comes to bathroom design, less can indeed be more.
At DBS Bathrooms Refer we specialise in supplying stylish, modern-looking wall and ceiling panels that are in line with the latest bathroom design trends. Our products are both functional and attractive, as they can be used to enhance the appearance of your bathroom while being a hygienic, 100% waterproof, and highly cost-effective solution.

Ines Rosales Sweet Olive Oil Torta 6.34 oz
A century ago, in the Spanish village of Seville, an enterprising young Ines Rosales started making and selling lightly sweetened, crispy torta crackers ' each delicate round wrapped with care in wax paper. Today her legacy continues in the same neighborhood, but in a slightly more modern kitchen. However, hand-rolling and wrapping is still the key to their light-as-air texture and perfectly balanced flavor. They add traditional flair to coffee and tea service or to a board with soft, creamy cheeses.

A tennis match at the Sarasota Open was interrupted by a couple having SEX yesterday. At first people thought it was someone in the crowd watching porn on their phone. So one of the players hit a ball into the audience.
But it was a REAL couple. They were getting-it-on across the lake from the arena, and the sound carried. So the other player came up with a pretty good line. He shouted, "It can't be THAT good."

Hello, my name is Roland A Munoz. I have two terrific boys and two wonderful girls. I have been in Las Vegas since the summer of 98'.
I am originally from El Paso TX. I started as an electrician there when I was 15, and when I turned 17 I came to Las Vegas to further my career as an electrician in the city of lights.
I am on my 18th year as an electrician and also currently teach at the Associated Builders, and Contractors a school of electricians. I do this because I believe I can give our future electricians some of the knowledge that I have gained throughout my tenure.
I was awarded Instructor of the year in 2013 and look forward to getting it again this year. The Electrical trade has been my life since I was a kid and by owning 24/7 Electrical Services LLC I will continue to make it my life.
My mission is to give the best customer service in town and I will make sure our customers are happy with our work. We opened this company for the main reason of letting people know that there are still good hearted people and that we are just not out there to get rich over night.
I put my tools on every day along with my guys and we give the customer the satisfaction that they are getting what they have paid for. I thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Young Living didn't just pioneer the modern-day essential oils movement—we've led the industry for 25 years; and we're not done yet. As we approach our quarter-century anniversary, we continue to focus on bold, world-changing goals. In that pioneering spirit, we're embarking on an unprecedented program: the 5x5 Pledge.
The 5x5 Pledge will not only redefine our role as industry leaders, but it will also elevate Young Living's positive impact on the earth, on communities, and on families around the world.
Over the next five years, beginning in 2019, Young Living pledges to expand the vision of our founder, D. Gary Young, in these five interconnected ways:
Five times more people empowered by The D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation
The Foundation currently changes thousands of lives every year by empowering the underserved, including rescuing women and children from human trafficking and providing families with tools to prevent malaria. We believe in uplifting people; so in the next five years, we pledge to quintuple the number of lives changed by the Foundation.
Five years to zero waste
We are humbled by our responsibility and visibility as an industry green leader, and we take our stewardship of the planet seriously. Our commitment is evidenced in the Standards pillar of Seed to Seal®, as well as the Green Globe and LEED specifications we will be following at our new Global Headquarters. In the next five years, we will take our global operations to zero waste status, and we will strive to offset our carbon footprint through our vast network of partner and corporate farms.
Five or more corporate-owned or partner farms developed each year
We are passionate about collaborating with nature to bring our members the purest products on Earth. Our farms are the heart of our Seed to Seal commitment, and they will forever be part of our DNA. They help us create a more stable and controlled supply chain, allow us to stay on the forefront of essential oil research, and empower our members with the knowledge of where their oils originate. Each year for the next five years, we will develop five or more of these beautiful corporate-owned and partner farms.
Five or more new markets opened each year
With every new market Young Living opens, we open doors of wellness and empowerment to new members in that market and to talented new employees who are passionate about making a positive impact. Because our mission is to allow more people than ever to experience whole-life wellness through becoming a part of the Young Living family, we will open at least five new markets each year over the next five years.
Five million additional households reached in five years
As we expand our positive impact through philanthropy, green initiatives, new farms, and new markets, our reach will also increase. Gary Young dedicated his life to bringing essential oils to every home in the world. Because we are committed to dramatically furthering that vision, we pledge to reach 5 million more households within five years.
