The Sheffield Sling Surgery and Library team are famous for their friendly welcome, their wealth of expertise and their accessibility. Run by Rosie Knowles and Kiri Porter, we have many years of experience helping Sheffield families to carry their children safely and well. The sling library is one of the largest in the UK (we fit and rent out carriers as well as helping people with their own). We run the much-loved 4th Trimester service for bumps and babies (on Monday mornings) and we also offer personalised workshop, consultancy and training services.
Please see the links below or browse the menus!
Rosie Knowles founded the Sling Surgery in 2013, opening her home to the families of Sheffield and travelling to cafes and church halls with suitcases of slings, showing people how to use them safely! The Sling Library soon followed, and the service now has a permanent home in the City Centre at the Snug community centre, a team of dedicated volunteers, an online community and a shop (the Sling Spot)! Rosie wrote the highly acclaimed Why Babywearing Matters book, writes the educational Carrying Matters website, and travels around the UK and Europe speaking at conferences about why carrying children is so important to family health and wellbeing. She is a practising GP (family doctor) and mother of two.
We offer
- 1-2-1 tailored, bookable appointments with our team of experienced consultants, to help you work out what you need and become confident (library sessions can be busy and help is limited)
- Mini Consults for quick one to one help
- Antenatal evening classes for bumps and newborns under 6weeks
- Workshops (including Multiples Carrying, Back Carrying, etc)
We can help you from before your baby is born, to preschool age and beyond.
We can help you with your own carrier.
We can show you how to use a range of carriers on the front, hip and back, facing parent or the world, and help you hone your wrapping skills!
We support the Building Bonds Project for health and social care professionals to refer families in need to us for help.
Our consults, workshops and most of our library sessions are held at the Snug in the City Centre.
Our Sling Library drop in sessions run all round the city, in fortnightly or monthly cycles. They are run by volunteers (sling-using parents who have been trained to help others.) Library drop ins are free (but we welcome a £2 donation towards volunteer travel), and they can get busy, so help may be limited to 10-15 minutes.
We have one of the largest and best-stocked sling libraries in the UK. It is a superb way to try a sling before you buy to check that it feels comfortable and works for you and your child! We have a free stretchy hire scheme for babies under 6weeks. We support the Building Bonds Project which donates carriers to those in hardship or with extra needs and we are always happy to answer questions.
Slings can be hired from any of our appointments, library sessions, or fast-track collection through the Sling Spot shop. We are a national retailer of baby carriers who offer a personalised fitting service in our premises.

As may be obvious, this blog hasn't been updated in a while. That may or may not change as Bradley Manning's court martial proceeds at Fort Meade but, in any case, the following list of resources are essential reading on the current situation:
Court Martial Transcripts
Freedom of the Press Foundation are crowdsourcing a team of stenographers to cover the court martial. Files of morning and afternoon sessions are being uploaded here daily.
In addition, useful livetweeting and/or daily roundups of proceedings at Fort Meade are being produced by Nathan Fuller for the Bradley Manning Support Network, Chase Madar for The Nation, Rainey Reitman for Huffington Post, Kevin Gosztola for FireDogLake and Alexa O'Brien. For visuals, your one-stop shop is Clark Stoeckley.
Pre-Trial Documents
Full transcripts of the pretrial phase can be found at Alexa O'Brien's website, which includes a wealth of useful analysis and background information (the witness profiles and reconstructed appelate list are especially useful if you plan on delving into the full detail).
Bradley himself made two statements during the pretrial phase, which are both indispensible reading. The first dealt with the pre-trial treatment Bradley Manning experienced at the marine brig at Quantico (contemporary coverage of which is extensively covered in this blog's archives) and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait (which had not previously been entered onto the public record).
The second statement, which has been justly celebrated, is Manning's "naked plea" – presented as such in order to introduce discussion of morality into a legal process that admits of none. Miraculously, audio of this important historical document is also available, courtesy of an unknown observer of the proceedings.
A partially complete collection of court orders and submissions from the pre-trial phase has today been released by the US military. That this has happened is largely thanks to those who have fought in the courts for access to documents that should have been publicly available for many months.
If you're pushed for time, the two Manning statements are where you start.

That's according to a University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health study, which shows these changes occur a lot earlier than previously thought, before the muscles show outward signs of aging. The findings were published in the August issue of the journal Aging Cell.
The research involved adult rhesus monkeys in three age groups: younger (corresponding to early 20s for humans), middle-aged (middle 40s) and older (65 years and older). Samples of their quadriceps muscles were analyzed to check for development of the condition, known as sarcopenia.
Using multi-photon laser scanning microscopy at the University of Wisconsin Laboratory for Optical and Computational Imaging, the research team was able to "look" at metabolism in individual cells.
While sarcopenia had already occurred in the older monkeys and there were no signs of the condition in the younger group, lead author Dr. Rozalyn Anderson said there were significant metabolic changes in the middle-aged monkeys that occurred before the start of sarcopenia.
"Their muscles were still big, the animals were still vigorous, and there were no signs of aging," Anderson, assistant professor of medicine, said. "But, the way they generated and processed energy completely changed. The cells in the middle-aged monkeys were vulnerable in a different way."
In people, the signs of sarcopenia usually begin in the late 40s and early 50s and lead to an average three to five percent loss of muscle mass per decade.
Anderson said while the seeds for sarcopenia are sown early, delaying the energetic shift through exercise could significantly slow the pace of muscle mass loss.
"The muscles should be kept metabolically active to reduce the effects of sarcopenia," she said. "By keeping your muscles energized, you are keeping a key part of energy balance in your body. As we age, it gets more difficult to keep that metabolism tightly connected, which eventually leads to muscle shrinkage. That's a problem because muscles are a huge part of body balance."
"People know about the benefits of exercise, but many don't do it," Anderson added "Yet, there is one thing that is unequivocally known to slow down the effects of sarcopenia and that's exercise."

Tired of trading card manufacturers overcharging and under-delivering?
Stuck in a rut and feeling like your collection has become stale?
Losing your passion for the Hobby?
Need real information in which to decide how to best spend your hard earned Hobby dollars?
Wonder what your cards are REALLY worth?
Do you have creative innovations or ideas the card companies should know about?
Do you think Felicia "The Rip Girl" autograph cards are a blatant mockery of the Hobby?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then this blog is for you. Straight talk, no punches pulled. Inspired by the sites on my Links section, the time has come to provide a voice for the collector to learn, vent, and revive their passion for collecting. I cannot guarantee daily posts but will make every effort to share my thoughts with you the collector to spurr conversation and intelligent debate on a regular basis.
So to all I say welcome to The Voice of the Collector: -THE Anti-Beckett

The Voice of the Collector? Where have I heard that before? Hmmmm...
I think it was here...
I've read your bio of the site and the first post. That's it. Yet, you are still getting the, hands down, no questions asked, blog of the week post at TNB.
When I wrote the Voice of The Collector post at my blog I hoped that someone would take the initiative to take this stance on the subject. I doubt you even ever read my post but I think it's ironic that you chose that title. Even if I didn't inspire you, tell people that I did because that'll make me feel good...haha...
I can't wait to see what you have in store. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck with the blog! You've got at least one dedicated daily visitor here...

If you are thinking about starting something new, it can be easy to jump in with both feet, sometimes without looking to see where you will land. But that may make it hard to create sustainable change that lasts beyond the first roadblock. You need a plan that will give you the personal support you need to commit to change over the long haul.
This blog is usually focused on the practice of writing. Blogging, in particular. But it has always done so with the idea that my readers are trying to build their business, whether that is a law firm, or some other small business. With that entrepreneurial spirit in mind, I'd like to take a departure from writing about writing and focus on what it takes to make a business thrive.
My business partner and I recently signed up for a Build Institute Basics workshop to help develop a new idea for our business. For the next 8 weeks, I'm going to be sharing with you my insights from that class, with an eye toward helping you take your law business to the next level.
Creating Sustainable Change
Whether you are founding a new company, or just taking your own practice to the next level, you are going to have to make changes. But just like New Year's resolutions, commitments to corporate change can fade quickly over time. If you want your new business venture to be successful, you need to focus on sustainability.
Creating sustainable change involves 4 steps:
- Defining your ideal state
- Identifying what makes your current state less than ideal
- Planning how to move toward your ideal state
- Putting that plan into practice.
Sounds easy, and daunting, and maybe impossible all at once. After all, it's a straightforward process, but what does "ideal" even mean? Setting goals and creating a plan to reach them can be so intimidating, many lawyers and small business owners give up before they even get started.
But, Ursula Adams, my facilitator at Build Institute and the founder of She-Hive, gave us this brilliant insight into creating sustainable change: You can't do it alone. At every step of the way, it is the relationships you maintain that will help you accomplish your ideal state. Relationships with the right kinds of people will give you access to resources you didn't even know you needed. And they'll hold you accountable when that monthly plan starts to look like it may take a year to complete.
Just because you are starting a firm doesn't mean you're on your own. Take advantage of the relationships you've made to find mentors, support team members, accountability partners, and vendors that will make it easier to make a change and stick to it.
Protecting Yourself from Sacrifice Syndrome
Taking the lead on a new project is stressful. When exercise our influence and exert our power, neuroscience says we experience Sacrifice Syndrome, which involves an aroused sympathetic nervous system response. In other words, stress. We are ready to fight for ourselves and our businesses all day, every day.
But our bodies aren't designed to be on high alert all the time. When our survival instincts go into overdrive, it can cause digestive problems, sleep issues, depression and anxiety, and make us more susceptible to illness. When we are all-in on a new business venture, we can literally sacrifice our own health for our entrepreneurial vision. But that can and will make you get tired. And your great idea will start not to look so hot.
Far too often, in our drive for success, we cut into our personal margins to make space for another meeting or to meet another deadline. When we do that, we take the focus off of these cures, leaving our personal priorities behind in favor of the business.
That's why self-care is essential to creating a sustainable business. Self-care builds in a cycle of renewal — a break from the constant stress of leadership. The cures for Sacrifice Syndrome are:
- Hope
- Compassion
- Mindfulness
- Play
In other words, time off. If you don't leave space to relax, recharge, and get out of survival mode, your business, and your health, will suffer.
Developing a successful and sustainable business isn't all marketing and rainmaking. If you want your business to last you need to support it, and yourself, with meaningful relationships and self-care routines designed to refill your reserves so you can keep working.

The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa
A great hotel, and uniquely within the Bath landmark of the crescent. A 5 star hotel, but being boutique it's impressive to the standards. No minibar, and no hot breakfast served in the room (although with a little encouragement it was managed).
Suprisingly hidden entrance in the grand venue means a doorman is always wondering up and down to find lost arrivals. Relaix Chauteau hotels are always a little pricey in my opinion, but all this considered it's the best hotel you will find in Bath.
The names of the guests written on your bedroom door is a lovely touch, the spa is small but perfectly formed as well.
Great little garden as well lovely for the summer.

Panera Bread: Soup for lunch
Dear Food Diary:
As part of Daily Buzz's Taste Maker Program I was invited to visit Panera bread and try their soups. One of the reasons I agreed was their choice of ingredients – fresh, thoughtfully sourced. Plus, there's nothing more heartwarming than a bowl of soup on a cold day.
Sugar and Plumm: Savory & lots of sweet on the UWS
Dear Food Diary:
Upper West Side just got a sprinkle of fairy dust. It's a little sweeter with the addition of Sugar and Plumm. This place looks like the dream of a chubby fairy godmother, seriously, just looking around makes your sugar levels go high, thankfully there's also a full menu with non sugary items. Their pastries are by Pichet Ong (Sport Dessert Bar) and all savory comfort food dishes by chef Steven Ferdinard (soups, salads and entree choices).
It opened to some controversy, having to tone down on the "cute factor" (boooooo), but honestly I find the Planet Sushi neon sign across the street way more disruptive.
THE COUNTER: build your own custom burgers on a bun or salad bowl
Dear Food Diary:
Tourists and theater goers have it better than ever when it comes to food around Times Square. From Gyu Kaku to food stands along Broadway, there's never been these many choices. Just for burgers alone you got Shake Shack, Five Guys and now The Counter, the gourmet burger chain where you can seriously build your burger your way (take that Burger King! take that!).
Kobeyaki: Decent sushi rolls for a quick meal
Dear Food Diary:
We stumbled upon Kobeyaki the other night after kickboxing class. StalkerBoy wanted ramen and I was craving sushi, something quick and casual. Kobeyaki fit that bill, think modern Japanese/fusion style fast food joint.
Experimental Cocktail Club NY: tasty drinks that are on the light side
Dear Food Diary:
Wednesday night J, C and I had our much needed girls night out at the new Paris transplant Experimental Cocktail Club in Chinatown. I was excited to read about them expanding to London and now New York. Who doesn't need a good cocktail after a long day!?
Living in NYC, we are no strangers to these ridiculous reservation policies, so as mandated by the establishment, I emailed firstname.lastname@example.com for a table. Prompt and friendly response for our table. They noted that even without a reservation, the bar is open to walk-ins.

Coconut oil is one of the most popular oils (since ancient times in India) with more people using it every day because of how effective and versatile it is. Along with being one of the best types of oil for hair care and growth, coconut oil is very affordable, edible, readily accessible and safe to use.
With regular use, hair follicles get healthier and less strands fall out due to the high vitamin E and vitamin K content of coconut oil.
It is useful for keeping skin moisturized and healthy and improving overall health as part of a nutritious diet. For fast and healthiest hair growth possible it is important to eat healthy fats like coconut oil along with drinking a lot of water.
One way that many individuals utilize coconut oil is as an aid to keep their hair healthy, moisturized and growing strong, and to this end there are many ways to use this "miracle" oil.
Using natural products for hair care, which includes organic coconut oil, improves the condition of the hair while boosting shine and volume as well. The oil also improves the health of the scalp, fighting fungus and other microbes while supporting hair growth.
Coconut oil is a common ingredient found in hair care products and other cosmetic items. However, when combined with harmful inorganic ingredients, these products are less effective and can actually cause health issues if used long-term.
It is best to stop using hair styling products, shampoos and conditioners that contain harsh chemicals that damage and dry out the hair, and substitute with coconut oil for many of these products instead.
Integrating coconut oil into a hair care routine results in having thicker, longer and healthier hair growth with regular use.
Hair Growth Benefits
Coconut oil is well known for its numerous benefits for hair health and growth, which include:
- Protecting Hair Protein from Damage
The high lauric acid content of coconut oil makes it effective for protecting the proteins that make up each strand of hair as well as the hair roots. It helps to prevent breakage and improves hair health more than sunflower and mineral oils.
The low molecular weight of coconut oil helps it to penetrate where it can be most beneficial to both damaged and healthy hair.
- Use coconut oil liberally before or after washing the hair.
- Moisturizing Hair
Without adequate moisture hair is prone to dryness and breakage. Coconut oil counteracts this issue because of its ability to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft. The oil also helps to seal moisture into the hair which keeps it soft, preventing dryness and breakage. Regular application of coconut oil adds strength and moisture to rough, dry and thin hair.
- Conditioning the Hair
Instead of chemically-based and synthetic conditioners, using coconut oil as a conditioner is easy to do and helps to keep hair soft, moisturized, supple and shiny.
- Before going to bed, warm a generous amount of coconut oil and apply it to the hair and scalp.
- Rinse hair thoroughly the following day.
- Combine warm milk, henna and coconut oil to make a smooth paste.
- Coat the hair completely with the mixture and let it sit for twenty minutes.
For best results repeat two to three times weekly.
- Improving Blood Circulation
Massaging the scalp with coconut oil increases circulation which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the roots of the hair, helping to improve hair's growth and overall health.
- Use fingertips coated in coconut oil to massage the scalp thoroughly.
- Providing Vital Nutrients
Coconut oil contains essential nutrients for hair health and growth such as iron, vitamins E and K and antioxidants. These nutrients boost the growth rate, sheen and softness of hair while eliminating dandruff and dry scalp conditions and preventing excessive hair fall.
- Preventing Hair Loss
Coconut oil boiled and combined with sage leaves, lime water or gooseberries is an effective remedy against hair loss that also boost hair health when applied to the scalp and hair on a regular basis.
- Reducing Split Ends
Using coconut oil for a mild case of split ends works effectively for preventing them from getting worse.
- Combine almond and coconut oil and use the mixture to massage the scalp for several minutes.
Warning: Coconut oil does not mend split ends, so if there are a lot, it is best to have hair trimmed or cut to remove them.
How to Use Coconut Oil For Best Results
There are several beneficial ways to use coconut oil for healthy hair growth.
- Deep Conditioner
The ease at which coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft, along with its beneficial effects on dryness, split ends, dullness and hair damage make it a very effective deep conditioner.
Set aside several hours for using coconut oil as a deep conditioner to get the maximum benefit from the treatment.
Use the following instructions to deep condition hair with coconut oil, beginning with freshly washed and air dried hair:
- Melt organic virgin coconut oil in a heat safe bowl until it becomes completely liquid in consistency.
- Massage the oil into the hair and scalp using the fingers before switching to a hair pick or comb to distribute the oil throughout the hair.
- Use a small towel to wrap hair completely and leave it in place for at least half an hour.
- Wash hair thoroughly with a gentle shampoo to remove excess oil from the hair.
- Add a small amount of coconut oil to hair ends and throughout the hair before styling.
- Detangling Leave-In
Long and curly hair that is plagued with knots and tangles can benefit from a regular application of coconut oil.
Organic virgin coconut oil helps to make combing through hair easier without leaving behind damaging residue.
Use the following steps to thoroughly detangle hair with coconut oil before brushing or styling:
- Melt organic virgin coconut oil in a heat safe bowl until it becomes liquid.
- Massage the oil into hair ends using the fingers and work up the length towards the scalp, before using a comb to gently detangle the hair following the same pattern (ends to roots).
- Leave the oil in the hair and allow it to penetrate completely before brushing or styling as usual.
- Dandruff Treatment
Coconut oil is an effective treatment for scalps troubled with flakes and itching as a result of dry scalp or dandruff. Coconut oil is also a suitable replacement for chemical-laden commercial products such as hair colorants, shampoos, conditioners and styling products that lead to scalp problems.
Starting freshly shampooed, conditioned and detangled hair, use the following steps to treat dandruff and other scalp issues with coconut oil.
- Use fingers to massage a generous amount of melted coconut oil into the scalp.
- Use a small towel to wrap the head and leave the oil in place overnight.
- Rinse hair with a mixture of Epsom salt and water to help remove dead skin from the scalp.
- Hair Coloring Base
Coconut oils ability to penetrate the hair shaft makes it an ideal vehicle for delivering hair color. Along with providing an ideal mixing base, coconut oil helps color to come out more vibrant, while also preventing it from fading too fast.
- Combine melted organic virgin coconut oil with henna (coloring herb) and coat the hair from roots to tips.
- After waiting long enough for the color to set, remove excess coloring and oils from the hair with warm water and a gentle shampoo.
- Use a small towel or a shower cap to cover the hair, leaving it on overnight to allow the hair color to finish setting completely.
- Hair Growth Tonic
Coconut oil is an effective hair growth tonic that enhances growth rate, thickness and length.
Used as a daily treatment, coconut oil removes follicle blocking buildup while nourishing the hair and scalp with its rich fatty acid and vitamin content.
- Before getting ready for bed, wash, condition and detangle hair thoroughly with a comb or hair pick.
- Melt organic virgin coconut oil in a heat safe bowl until it is completely liquid.
- With the head upside down, massage the coconut oil into the scalp firmly using the fingertips.
- Use a towel to wrap the head and leave the coconut oil to penetrate overnight.
- Sun Screen for Hair
Coconut oil helps to protect delicate hair strands from the harsh and damaging rays of the sun by acting as a sunscreen.
- Apply melted coconut oil throughout the hair and scalp before using a brush or comb to distribute it evenly from roots to tips.
- Scalp Massage Oil
Coconut oil scalp massages help to boost blood circulation and increase the rate of hair growth by up to twenty percent when combined with specific essential oils.
- Melt a teaspoon of organic virgin coconut oil until it is liquid.
- Using the fingertips, massage the oil into the scalp thoroughly for at least ten minutes.
- Combine a teaspoon of liquid organic virgin coconut oil with four drops of rosemary oil.
- Massage it into the scalp for at least ten minutes before putting a plastic shower cap over the hair and scalp, leaving it in place long enough for the oils to penetrate the scalp.
- Wash hair thoroughly with a gentle shampoo.
For best results, repeat either treatment four to five times a week.
Other Benefits of Coconut Oil for Hair
Apart from promoting healthy growth, coconut oil has many additional benefits for hair, which include:
- Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties
The antifungal and antibacterial properties of coconut oil make it very effective for keeping the scalp and hair healthy and microbe free and boosting hair growth by preventing problems such as lice and dandruff.
- Treats Dandruff and Dry Scalp
Coconut oil is an effective treatment for a dry scalp or one plagued by dandruff. The oil contains fatty acids and antibacterial properties that get rid of itchiness and flakes. Instead of using dandruff shampoos that can be harsh on the scalp and drying to the hair, use coconut oil to eliminate unwanted flakes instead.
- Massage the hair and scalp with a combination of castor oil, coconut oil and warm water.
- Combine sesame oil and coconut oil before massaging the mixture into the scalp and leaving it in for at least thirty minutes before shampooing the hair.
For best results repeat this treatment on most days of the week.
- Hair Styling Aid
Coconut oil works as an effective hair styling aid because of how it moisturizes, conditions and promotes healthy growth along with the way that it melts and condenses while going through hot and cool temperatures.
- Use coconut oil as a daily styling gel or cream.
- Tones Hair
Extra dry hair benefits tremendously from the toning effects of coconut oil.
- Combine lavender oil with coconut oil and apply it to the scalp nightly, rinsing hair thoroughly the next day.
For best results, repeat treatment regularly.
- Prevent Gray Hair and Baldness
Problems associated with premature balding and graying are preventable with regular coconut oil use.
- Apply a mixture of Eclipta Alba leaf juice (or Bhringraj) and coconut oil to the hair and scalp.
- Soothes and Cools the Scalp
Individuals with constantly sweaty or hot scalps benefit from the cooling and soothing effect of coconut oil.
- Apply a liberal amount of coconut oil to the hair and scalp for instant relief.
- Protects Hair from Lice
Coconut oil is an effective method of treating and preventing lice when treatment begins at the first sign of infestation.
Known as a pest that is difficult to get rid of and that usually returns to the sufferer without proper treatment, lice are usually treated with chemical methods (such as permethrin).
Along with killing any lice present, harsh treatments also damage and dry the hair. Studies show that anise spray, ylang ylang and coconut oil combined are side effect free and more than twice as effective as using permethrin.
Another common treatment for lice is using a very fine-toothed comb on wet hair to remove the lice from the hair shafts, which tends to damage hair in the process. Lice removal without damage is possible when coconut oil is added to wet hair before combing.
In addition to this, when used as a leave-in or deep conditioner, coconut oil helps to prevent infestation by penetrating each shaft and repelling the lice. The benefits increase if tea tree oil, anise and ylang ylang are used alongside the coconut oil on a regular basis.
Use the following treatment for head lice:
- Combine one teaspoon of ylang ylang, one teaspoon of tea tree oil, one teaspoon of anise and three tablespoons of coconut oil (make double the amount for hair longer than shoulder length).
- Coat the entire scalp with the solution before massaging it in thoroughly and using a small-toothed comb to comb it through to the hair ends.
- Use a plastic shower cap to cover the hair and scalp before applying additional heat by sitting in the sun or using a hair dryer.
- After two hours, remove the cap and seal it in a ziplock back before throwing it away.
- Use a small-toothed comb to go through the hair again before washing.
- Rinse the hair thoroughly using a mixture of one cup of water and two cups of apple cider vinegar.
- Comb through the hair thoroughly using a small-toothed comb one more time.
- Apply coconut oil to the hair sparingly before styling.
For best results, repeat the treatment once every five to ten days over a period of several weeks to ensure complete lice removal.
- Treats Scalp Boils
Boils are a common scalp problem for some individuals when it gets cold and dry or after exposure to direct sunlight and harsh heat.
- Wash the scalp and hair often to keep it clean.
- Use a combination of olive and coconut oils to massage the scalp and reduce the irritation resulting from boils.
Warning: See a doctor if the condition does not improve after treatment.

I should have known it was going to be a bad day when I woke up thinking I needed to find my 100th day t-shirt and stop to buy a cake on my way to school.
Today was only the 45th day of school!
I actually laid in bed going over the things I needed to do today and those were honestly the first two things on my list.
Can you imagine the looks I would have gotten if I had shown up in that t-shirt and carrying a cake?
I have no idea what I was dreaming before I woke up, but it must have been good! lol!

The mind of an artist can be in a constant state of creation. I am always coming up with new concepts; ideas I want to paint, build, create and photograph. The strange thing is that if I don't have the opportunity to express these ideas then they tend to fester. (It's not a pretty sight – just ask my husband. ;))
Lately, I've been on a personal quest to understand how we can truly know others; our friends, our family, our spouses, and even our children. There are so many obstacles we face on the journey to authentic relationship and in some situations these obstacles even end the voyage entirely…
So what exactly am I talking about? Well… things like the fact that in daily life we only see portions of people – small sections of their being. Or we only know people through filters, either created by the person themselves, by us or by external opinions and prejudices. Sometimes we can't even focus on them at all…
How can we have real relationships?
I understand that my philosiphizin' skills are rather poor so the hope is that my photographs will make up for that. If not… well… maybe you'll just have fun scrolling through them anyway! 🙂
What have I learned on my journey thus far? Only this; authentic relationship begins with knowing oneself first.
~ Micheline

Apple, why do you hate me? Instead of adding a microSD card slot to your iPhones, you force me to spend an extra $200 so that my handset doesn't run out of memory every time I try to record a new video. I'm glad you're the most profitable consumer electronics company. I really am. But I worked hard for my money and I've already given you enough of it. Next time around, I'm buying an entry-level iPhone and I'll pick up a Lexar microSD To Lightning Reader along with it. That way I can dump all my photos and videos onto a microSD card anytime I want, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
Here are some important details from the product page:
- Easily offload and transfer content to or from your iPhone or iPad with a micro SD card
- Great for anyone capturing photos or video with a sports camcorder or aerial camera
- Small, portable design with a Lightning connector
- Works with use of free file management app (App Store)
- Automatically and securely sync files

I really didn't realize just how long it's been since I've written anything! wow. Its been such a difficult year that I'm not surprised really.
i had twins, Lyle-Reese and Shylan, lost my Son Davi, and got my kidney. I have been out of work for over a year now. Except that i haven't really been out because I am still doing substitute work and writing lesson plans.
My health has bounced around from very good to very bad to functional. And so many other things i can't even remember them.

RIHANNA x DIOR Sunglasses
Rihanna's Dior Collaboration Sunglasses will be available in JUNE:
As we've seen a number of times over the past month. We were able to confirm back back then that the sunglasses were from a collaborative effort between her and the luxury label, Christian Dior. Thanks to WWD, we have a few more details to inform you about regarding the designer frames.
Rihanna has created a range of futuristic sunglasses in collaboration with Dior as part of her brand ambassadorship. The name of the collection is simply "Rihanna".
The sunglasses will be sold exclusively at Dior stores beginning in early June, though Rihanna has been teasing the shades on her Instagram account. There is one frame available in six variations — the silver, pink, blue, green and red styles will retail for $840.00 while a deluxe 24-karat gold-plated version will sell for $1,950.00.
This is the second collaborative project between Rihanna and Dior. A year ago, Steven Klein photographed Rihanna in "Secret Garden IV," a campaign and short film shot inside Versailles features her in Dior sunglasses, carrying the brand's bags and wearing looks from the Esprit Dior collection shown in Tokyo in December 2014.
We are very pleased to partner for the second time with Rihanna. She is an artist, an entertainer, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and a style icon for today's generation – Dior Chief Executive Officer Sidney Toledano
The sunglasses are her first design project with Dior, a privilege never before granted to one of its house ambassadors, who include Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard, Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lawrence. In October, Rihanna visited Dior's headquarters on Avenue Montaigne to meet with the eyewear design team going over vintage frames, ultimately picking a style from 2000 as the key reference. In a statement provided by Dior, Rihanna named La Forge from "Star Trek" as her inspiration for the frames.
I've always been obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together. The process was pretty seamless. I spent a day at Dior with their eyewear design team. I started by looking through all the archives to see what they've done in the past, then got acquainted with all the new materials. I literally sat there and drew and drew until I was happy with the design, and the team illustrated it for me right then and there. We picked materials and colors that same day, and after that it was a matter of weeks before I saw the first prototype –Rihanna
Dior's eyewear designer Mathieu Jamin noted that this was the first time he and his team had worked with a celebrity in a design capacity, but he was impressed with Rihanna's level of involvement.
She chose all the materials. We had a lot of different samples with different effect of metals. She chose all the lenses and took time to match all the colors together to see if it was right on her face. It was really important to her" –Mathieu Jamin
Jamin said the resulting frames are "really strong and something we don't have in the collection, so it's unique." There is no official campaign to accompany the launch, although Jean-Baptiste Mondino shot Rihanna modeling the frames for a series of in-house editorial images. Dior could not confirm if any further design projects with Rihanna are forthcoming.

It is a proven fact that an attic with poor insulations can cost you a large amount of money. As a matter of fact, the US Department of Energy does estimate that insulating your attic can save you anything between 10 to 15 percent of the total amount of money you spend in keeping your house warm. Here are some valuable attic insulation tips worth taking into consideration when shopping, they include but are not limited to the following:
The first thing you should take into consideration is the form you want the installation to take. This will determine how well you can fill a particular space. This has a direct impact on how well you will be able to keep heat from leaking in and out of the home. It is also important to take into consideration the material used to make the insulation: this has a direct effect on factors such as fire resistance, weight and cost.
The second thing worth taking into consideration is the type of insulation you want to install: there are basically four main types of attic insulation. These include blankets, fiberglass, Rockwool and loose fill. All these attic insulation options are ideal for a variety of purposes.
It is also important to consider whether during the installation, you intend to do it yourself or whether you will be calling in a professional. This will to a large extent dictate the type of insulation you would use. Blanket insulations are the preferred option for homeowners who are keen on doing the installation on their own, while the loose fill is mostly done by professionals because it does require specialized equipment to blow in the insulation.
Another important factor you need to take into consideration is the R-Values of the material you have chosen. It refers to how efficient the insulation is at resisting heat flow. Many homeowners use the R-value to determine the efficiency of the chosen insulation. The higher the R-value, the more efficient the insulation is. For walls, homeowners should opt for an R – value of 11 to 23, for ceilings an R-Value of 19 to 50 is preferred while for floors an R-value of 11 to 25 is usually considered ideal enough. It is worth noting that these numbers tend to vary depending on the geographical location of the home and the weather patterns.
Finally, even though it may seem counter-intuitive, it is also important to consider the ventilation around the attic. Without proper ventilation in the attic, moisture will accumulate and condense and eventually rotting the ventilation and subsequently compromising the structural integrity of the insulation. It is also important in neutralizing the threat posed by ice dams.

By Ruth Whiting, Head of History, 1963-2000
On this day, I believe, Amy Garrett Badley was torn in two directions. On the one hand she was delighted that, after years of struggle, she and other women of her age and status would have full voting rights in the election due to take place in 1919. On the downside, however, she was determined to continue the fight so that all women would gain the rights granted by the Act to men of 21 years and over.
In 1935, receiving the testimonial book from 'The Petersfield Society for Woman Suffrage and Equal Citizenship' (view an extract image here), she herself said that she "was proud to be a member of a family many of whose members had worked for the same great cause, and she would have been ashamed if she had not tried to follow in their footsteps". She was referring to Elizabeth Garrett, in 1865 the first woman to gain medical qualifications in Britain, her own half-sister Rhoda and cousin Agnes who had been, in 1875, the first women to found and run an interior decorating business (A & R Garrett of 2 Gower Street) and, perhaps most of all, Elizabeth's and Agnes's youngest sister, Millicent, who for about 40 years had been the leader of the suffragists, the NUWSS.
Bedales, not just Amy, had played its part in advocating the cause of equal rights for women. Students (especially in 1907 and 1908) held heated debates, usually carried by an overwhelming majority of boys as well as girls, demanding votes for women. Girls from Bedales took part in the famous marches which traversed London, (February 1907, the "Mud" March, and July 1908, which gained greater support from the crowds).
Garden Parties were held in Bedales grounds where speeches were delivered by luminaries who supported the movement, the most celebrated being in 1911 and 1913. In 1914 in the sitting room in The Wing, talks were given to "working women of Steep and Petersfield, many of whom themselves (or their husbands) worked for the school. They started the series with 13 members and by July, when Amy wrote about if The Bedales Chronicle, there were 40 attenders, including some of the husbands!
The more I look at Amy's support for the cause the more complicated it becomes: certainly by 1912 she had developed quite a lot of support for the militants which was causing The Chief some concern. On census day 1911, filling in the return for the female staff house (Foxcot) she conspired to hide Dora Hooper, the wife of the Art Master, from the Enumerator. Boldly across the form she wrote "No Vote, No Census. "Government must rest upon the consent of the Governed.": it was signed Amy Garrett Badley, Dora Hooper. Someone betrayed them and Dora's name was added to the form, in red ink, "by Registrar General's authority". I believe she had asked her husband not to include her in the school return. It starts with JHB and their son, then servants, teaching staff and all the students still at school that night (term had ended on Saturday) At the end in Mr Badley's handwriting, was added, "Amy Garrett Badley, wife, 47 married 18 years, 1 child, still living in 1911" precisely the information she had intended to deny the Registrar General.
This is a research project in progress: when I get a little relief from my researches in OBs who died in WW1 (7 in the next 8 weeks), I will return to this fascinating story.

A wave of corporate deals and generally positive quarterly earnings competed with gloomy news developments in Ukraine and Gaza for attention this week, but ultimately prevailed to lead US stocks higher.
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 156.37 points (0.92 percent) to finish on 17,100.18, while the broad-based S&P 500 rose 10.65 (0.54 percent) to 1,978.22 points and the tech-rich NASDAQ Composite Index added 16.66 (0.38 percent) to end at 4,432.15.
The week's gains came despite twin crises that emerged on Thursday when a Malaysia Air jet carrying 298 people crashed in Ukraine in a disaster that US officials say was likely caused by a missile shot from an area of Ukraine controlled by pro-Russia separatists.
Only hours after the plane crashed, Israel launched a ground operation in Gaza, lifting the Palestinian death toll to 296 on Friday, the 11th day of assault that Israel argues is needed to counter Hamas' "terrorist efforts."
US stocks nose-dived on Thursday, but surged the next day even as the US sharpened criticism of Russia's actions in Ukraine and as Israel warned of a wider Gaza assault.
"The negativity is being shrugged off for the most part," said Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities, adding that the market is showing "tremendous amounts of resilience."
"Investors are continuing to embrace risk and buy every dip," Kjolen Capital Management portfolio manager David Levy said.
The market is giving greater weight to positive economic news than to geopolitical threats like Ukraine, where the economic implications are murky and there is little obvious potential for a "prolonged impact on corporate America," according to Levy.
"The economy is continuing to show signs of improvement," Levy said. "We're seeing strong corporate profitability, as well as strong merger and acquisition activity. That's why the market is able to shrug off geopolitical news."
Major deals this week included a plan unveiled by US tobacco giant Reynolds American Inc to acquire rival Lorillard Tobacco Co for US$27.4 billion and sell cigarette brands including Salem and Winston to British firm Imperial Tobacco Group PLC for $7.1 billion.
In other deals, US pharmaceutical giant AbbVie sealed a US$54 billion takeover of Dublin-based Shire Pharmaceuticals PLC, which had opposed earlier bids, Whiting Petroleum Corp announced plans to acquire Kodiak Oil & Gas Corp for US$6 billion and Abbott Laboratories sold its branded generic drugs for developed markets to generic drugmaker Mylan Laboratories Inc for stock valued at US$5.3 billion.
Rupert Murdoch rocked the media world when his entertainment company, Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, offered US$80 billion for Time Warner Inc. Time Warner turned down the bid, but Murdoch is "determined to buy Time Warner," a person familiar with the matter said.
Technology giants IBM Corp and Apple Inc, while avoiding show-stopping mergers, announced what they called a "landmark" partnership to collaborate on applications for Apple's iOS system, which will employ IBM's supercomputing analytics.
Analysts were also smiling at the early results from earnings season.
Standouts included Dow component Intel Corp, which raised its profit forecast and announced US$20 billion in additional share repurchases; Google Inc, which notched a 22 percent increase in revenue behind a surge in "paid clicks;" and Goldman Sachs, which reported US$4.10 per share in earnings, beating expectations by more than US$1.

I wonder if we could get a group of people all to take a sky watch image at the same time? (+ or - five minutes). Not the same clock time - but at the same moment all around the world! Its tempting to try.

O love that first photo, of the moon and icicles. A fantastic capture. I remember the moon that night. I oftentimes stand on my deck, barely dressed in Winter's icy cold, and just feel what I am to feel. Your Haiku tells me you were right where you were supposed to be. I know this because I have felt it too on these treks out on the deck.ReplyDelete
Wonderful photos. The natural heart shapes are astounding!
Beautiful images, you've captured the wonder and magic of this earth we live in.ReplyDelete
Wishing you a blessed new year, full of all things good.
I stopped putting the year in the copyright :-)ReplyDelete
The icicles against the moon is a really interesting photo. I'd like to take some, but we haven't had much in the way of icicles this year (so far).
Fantastic photographs! I love the icicles.ReplyDelete

Ice is such a beautiful mystery. It takes such amazing forms, and yet, when it melts, there is nothing left, but formless water.ReplyDelete
I think you're right, creativity is a spiritual undertaking. One has to listen to one's soul.

Joanne Ingle is a Manchester Wedding Photographer
Hiya, I'm Jo, thanks for coming to my site.
I've been photographing weddings in and around Manchester for over 12 years. It's my job and my passion – no venue's too big, no wedding's too small. In fact, sometimes the most intimate weddings have created some of my best pictures.
We're all different some of us love being in front of the camera and some of us would rather hide in the background. Whoever you are, I'm here to capture your style and personalities. My clients' reviews say I'm relaxed and approachable, so I can ensure your photography experience with me will be an enjoyable one.
I love everything about weddings and love meeting excited couples, families and friends at such a special time in their lives. It makes my job as a wedding photographer so rewarding and that's why I take the time getting your photos just right.
Obviously the price I charge will be a factor I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised when you look at pricing page. Most of my bookings are for complete coverage you may prefer part coverage whatever your needs we will be able to fulfil them. Please check out my portfolio too – as it's all about the pictures – and if my style suits you then contact me I would love to hear from you.

Reptilian Initiation in Sabino Canyon
Everyone we've encountered in Tucson has mentioned Sabino Canyon as a "must go" destination. By everyone, I mean our realtor, bartenders, hair stylists, neighbors, coworkers and pretty much anyone else who learns we just moved here. So on our first plan-free Saturday in town, back in November while I was visiting for the weekend, we headed up to Sabino Canyon to check it out for ourselves.
We left Saguaro National Park (and its lovely tarantula hawks) and drove north into the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. We parked outside the small visitor's center, hanging our inter-agency annual pass on our mirror to satisfy the nominal parking fee. We went inside to pick up a map and ask the on-duty ranger for trail suggestions. She peppered us with a few questions, including how much time we had and whether we had water with us. Then she peered over the information desk to look down at our feet. "Just checking," she said. "You wouldn't believe how many people show up here in flip flops."
With our short list of requirements in mind, she recommended we head out on Phoneline Trail then take Phone Link down and across the road, where we'd pick up Rattlesnake Trail and loop it back in the direction of the visitor's center. It was a moderate, five-mile loop route that would take us less than two hours, a perfect introduction to the area.
Sabino Canyon is fairly accessible, due in part to well-travelled trails and a paved road that leads a few miles into the canyon to scenic overlooks. The road has been closed to private vehicles since the 1970s, but there is an open-air tram that runs continuous loops, stopping at several points along the way. A few of the tram stops feature restrooms and potable water, and most of them are near trailheads, enabling easy access to points further in the canyon for folks not looking to hike all the way in from the visitor's center. (Like many concessions throughout the national park system, the tram service is provided by a licensed vendor, which means there's a fee to ride it.)
We skipped the tram and opted to explore the area on foot. We weren't in a rush but worked our way at a naturally quick pace away from the paved trails near the visitor's center and into the dirt trails and desert scrub. We gained elevation rapidly as we headed north into the canyon, stopping occasionally to drink water or turn around and admire the view of the valley and city fading into the distance.
I'm a New Englander at heart, but there is something about the West that speaks to me, in both tempting whispers and barbaric yawps. This is not a new feeling…I've known it for decades…but it has been rekindled and reinforced during these last few years of travel. Specifically, I'm a sucker for two opposing natural configurations: wide open skies and soaring canyons. Fortunately for me, Arizona has both, as does neighboring Utah, where we've been spending a bit of time due to M's new job. Walking for miles deep into a canyon, leaving roads and cars and convention behind, delivers a feeling of immense smallness that is overwhelmingly freeing. Wandering for hours without an agenda does good things to the spirit.
So we wandered and chatted, wandered in silence, wandered and snapped pictures and drank water and consulted the map when we thought we were off track. We were on our way back in, with about two miles to go, when we were initiated into desert life for the second time that day. M was a few yards ahead of me, navigating around a bend on a narrow dirt path. It's hard to recall now whether I first saw its coiled form or heard its quiet rattle, but the result was me reflexively sprinting a few feet forward, as if shot from a cannon, blurting out, "Snake. Snake. Snake!" (In hindsight, apparently this was the wrong thing to do. The ranger said we should have frozen and backed away slowly, allowing the snake to retreat, since heat and motion are triggers for the snake to attack. Fortunately we didn't learn that the hard way.)
Once at a safe distance (we hoped), we stopped and turned to look back at the speckled beast, our hearts pounding and breathing audible. I took two small steps in the snake's direction, thinking I'd like a better look, but I quickly concluded that I didn't need the close-up and that my minimalist mesh shoes wouldn't offer much protection against venomous fangs to the foot. So we turned away and headed briskly up the trail, in the direction of the visitor's center, hyper-aware of what might be lurking underfoot.
In New England, you generally look up when hiking, scanning the trail and woods around you for people, animals, boulders and the like. In the desert, you look down, scanning the ground and surrounding scrub for snakes, spiders, lizards, cactus needles and any other wiggly freaks looking to cause a scene. A little post-hike Googling led us to conclude that the charming fellow we encountered on the aptly-named Rattlesnake Trail that day was indeed a Tiger Rattlesnake, common in the Sonoran Desert. We've been out in the scrub a few more times since our first Sabino adventure, and we've yet to see another snake. But I know they're out there, waiting to greet us and keeping us vigilant as we continue to explore our new home. –J.

Staffordshire Bull Terriers - Nannydogs with a sense of humour
Little Legends
Staffordshire Bull Terriers
Hello and welcome to our website!
I am Jennifer Vindahl the founder of Little Legends - Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
Our breeding and familyhome are located in the southern part of Sweden.
I am an exhibitor, trainer and breeder of pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terriers.
I have been involved with the dog showing scene for a few years now, but my heart is beating for obedience training, studding dogs in general and especially this amazing breed.
I have been surrounding myself with dogs of different breed types my entire life. My first dog was a Samoyed male called Rickey, he was by my side for a total of 16years. He made me realize that my life was always going to involve dogs. I have had Border collies, English bulldog, Mastiffs, and a couple of Rottweilers trough my 28 years with dogs, all with different personalities and I have loved every single one of them dearly.
When I got my 10th dog, a pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier Bitch in 2014, after I had been searching for the right breeder for a very long time, she stole my heart completely and I have been falling more and more in love with this breed ever since!
I had been wanting to go into breeding for quite some time, and now I was finally sure of which breed I would want to breed, so I went back to school and got my breeders education in 2 nations, first in Sweden, and later Denmark.
Our affix was granted in 2015 and our amount of dogs had grown from 1 to a hole bunch of this incredible breed.
We breed mostly for our self, so we breed occasionally in a small scale.
Our main goal is to breed typical, healthy, fit for function dogs with a good solid temperament, who will fit just as good in the show rings as in dog sports, and in the couch with a loving family.
If you are interessted in our breeding or have any questions, feel free to contact us.
Take a look around our website, and we hope you enjoy your visit.
Best regards
Jennifer Vindahl

Several updates to the case of the two New York City men accused in the beating death of an Ecuadorean immigrant mistakenly believed to be gay:
This morning the defense for Keith Phoenix presented their closing arguments. Phoenix is accused of using an aluminum baseball bat to deliver fatal blows to Jose Sucuzhañay—and returning to finish the job. The case is expected to go to the jury this afternoon. Another jury began deliberations last night in the trial of co-defendant Hakim Scott.
And this morning an alternate juror in the Scott case was excused to take care of her child. The excused juror does not believe the killing was motivated by bias, she told the New York Times. "'It was a matter of circumstance,' said the juror, a 34-year-old white woman who declined to give her name. 'Wrong place, wrong time.'"
It could be days before there is a verdict in the case, or any sense whether the alternate juror's opinion is held by other jurors. But in a murder case in which both defendants have admitted to violent acts, her thoughts spoke to the central mystery of the case: What set off the violence that led to the death of the immigrant, José O. Sucuzhañay.
Prosecutors said the defendants, Keith Phoenix, 30, and Hakim Scott, 26, were driven by hate, attacking Mr. Sucuzhañay and his brother Romel because they were Hispanic and because Mr. Phoenix and Mr. Scott thought they were gay. Mr. Scott is accused of smashing a bottle on José Sucuzhañay's head, and Mr. Phoenix with beating him repeatedly with a bat. Both men are charged with murder as a hate crime and could face life in prison if convicted.
But defense lawyers have argued that what occurred that night, at a corner in Bushwick, was a street fight of drunken men. Apart from various slurs that witnesses said they heard, there was no proof that bias played any role, the lawyers said.
Phoenix and Scott face charges of second-degree murder as a hate crime, manslaughter, assault and attempted assault. The hate crime verdict would increase the minimum penalties. Both defendants face life sentences if convicted. There are also political ramifications: José Sucuzhañay's December 2008 beating filled the streets with hundreds of outraged marchers, as well as politicians.

Former judge accused of rape, human trafficking indicted on more Kentucky charges
By Karla Ward
Criminal charges continue to pile up for a former judge accused of rape and human trafficking in Northern Kentucky.
Former Campbell County District Judge Timothy Nolan, 70, was indicted by a Campbell County grand jury Thursday on eight additional felony charges. Those included two counts of human trafficking; one count of attempted human trafficking with a minor; one count of third-degree sodomy; one count of rape of a female over 12; two counts of unlawful transaction with a minor under 16 – controlled substance; and one count of unlawful transaction with a minor under 18 – controlled substance.
Nolan, of California, Ky., is accused of crimes involving 22 victims, including eight juveniles, the Kentucky attorney general's office said in a news release Thursday. The crimes allegedly occurred between 2010 and May of this year.
Prosecutors have accused Nolan, who served as a judge in the 1970s and 1980s, of using drugs, money and threats to coerce women and juveniles to have sex with him.
Thursday's indictment is the fourth issued against Nolan since May and brings the total charges against him to 28 felony counts and two misdemeanors.
His attorney has suggested that the charges are the result of a political vendetta.
Nolan is being held in the Campbell County Detention Center. His next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 27, and Nolan is scheduled to go to trial on Feb. 27.
