Christmas Mice Candy
These are absolutely adorable and fun to make with children or grandchildren. They also add a large dose of cuteness to a holiday cookie platter. When I saw these in the December 2010 Midwest Living magazine, I knew I had to make these even if only for the cuteness factor. Lo and behold, they are as delicious as they are cute!!
1 12 0z. pkg. of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 10 jar of maraschino cherries with stems, drained and patted dry
36 milk chocolate Kisses with stripes
sliced almonds
1. Place chocolate chips in small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on 100% power about 1 minute or until melted, stirring twice.
2. For each mouse, hold a cherry by the stem and dip in melted chocolate to cover. Place coated cherry on a large cookie sheet covered with waxed paper or parchment paper. Immediately press the bottom of a chocolate Kiss up against the cherry to form the head. Insert two almond slices between the head and body to form the ears.
3. Use a toothpick dipped in the melted chocolate to make eyes and to dot the end of the nose.
4. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes so the chocolate hardens.
5. Peel mice from the cookie sheet or use a small flat metal spatula or table knife to remove mice from the cookie sheet.
6. Place in airtight container; cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Makes 36 mice

What is an Application for Adjudication?/
When Am I Entitled to File an Application for Adjudication in San Diego, California?
An injured worker may file an Application for Adjudication with the local Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) so that any outstanding issues from a workers' compensation claim may be presented to an Administrative Law Judge. An employee may file an Application for Adjudication in either the county where he/she lives, the county where he/she was injured, or the county where the attorney is located.
Filing the Application establishes the jurisdiction, or authority, of the WCAB, which allows the court access to all relevant information regarding the injured workers' claim of injury, the parties involved and any corresponding issues that cannot be resolved between the insurance carrier and injured worker. Once the Application is filed, the injured worker is able to get in front of a judge who can hear the issues between the parties.
When is the deadline to File an Application for Adjudication?
Generally, an injured worker has one year from the date of injury to file an Application for Adjudication regarding their workers' compensation claim at the local WCAB office. This "statute of limitation," or time limit for which a claim may be brought with the court, is dependent on a few things, including if the employer was notified about the injury. If you are hurt at work and do not inform your employer and still wish to pursue the injury at the WCAB, this time limit is applied strictly and the Application would need to be filed within one year.
If the injury has been reported and the insurance carrier has provided workers' compensation benefits, the one year statute for filing an Application would start accruing on the date of last benefits provided to the injured worker.

Ratings for Dr. Peter D. Weiss
Dr Weiss delivered both of my children and has been my doctor for about 20 years. He caring, gentle, takes his time you, doesn't rush the appointment and asks lots of questions. His staff has been with him the entire time I have been with him, which means he must be a great boss. I would highly recommend him.
Dr Weiss is the best, I switched from a Dr in the valley who didn't care if I lived or died when i was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Dr. Weiss to my rescue. Took me under his wing, sent me to the right doctors. The man is a caring, considerate, compassionate and gentle. He saved my life, I would recommend him to everyone.
Dr. Weiss is by far the best OB I have ever had. He was born to be an OB. I had a VBAC and he was completely supportive and everything went amazing. He knows his stuff and he is great with patients. I can't say enough good things about him. He is incredible.
the best Doctor I have ever been too. I flew in from out of state to see him. He did a minimally invasive surgery which was very successful. The doctors in my state wanted to do a hysterectomy. Dr Weiss is recognized nationally as one of the best. I'm pregnant now and wish I could fly in for him to do the delivery. Debbi G is his assistant who is also awesome.
never go to dr peter weise, he just care for money... he makes you take unnecessary test ... just for a simple casual office visit i paid more than $900... he made me feel uncomfortable ... he drains your money... that penthouse doesn't mean there is good dr there
I changed to Dr weiss from another doctor late in my pregnancy. He is what I was looking for in the first place. He is as personable as he is bright. My husband even likes him. We wanted a VBAC, and he was very open, discussed everything. The VBAC went smooth, no problems. Love this guy
oustanding office he is a member of Cedars Minimally Invasive surgery center of Excellence.Great staff
Dr. Weiss is an absolute gem. I had multiple fibroid tumors that several other doctors did not want to bother with. All of them said that I must have a hysterectomy. During my search, several years went by, then I found Dr. Weiss. He treated me like he would a dear friend or family member. He is one of the top doctors in the nation and I can see why. He is an expert in many ways that can directly affect how a patient may react to specific treatments. He went the extra-mile to make sure that I wouldn't suffer any ill effects from anesthesia. He was willing to explain every question, comment and concern about my condition. He knew that I wanted to keep my uterus, so he made sure that this request was possible. He specializes in pelvic reconstructive surgery, so I knew that he was capable of performing the myomectomy, which he had done extremely well. I am so lucky to have this wonderful man for my doctor. I love him and will have no other.
caring, compassionate, all in all a great doctor.Staff was friendly and helpful. I saw a celeb in the reception room waiting like everyone else. that was refreshing
doctor is very helpfull. Can handel situations with calm, has lots of experience and makes the patient feel confortable. Listens to patient, returns calls promptly and always has someone available to talk to.

There is an absolutely brilliant tribute to Nina Simone in the current issue of the Fader. The editors have published a rare collection of pictures that were taken in the 1960s—mostly candid shots of the icon interacting with friends. "Nina Simone: A Song in Many Parts" is accompanied by spot-on commentary by both contemporaries and present-day performers. Below, Ms. Simone as she prepares to perform at Carnegie Hall, 1964.
Dick Gregory, the stand-up comedian and social activist, marched with Nina many times during the civil rights era of the 1960s: "She wasn't that visible because she came didn't come down to sing, she came down to march. I think her nervous breakdown was probably caused by being on the frontline and seeing what actually happened to black folks."
Andy Stroud (above) was married to Nina Simone from 1961 to 1970. He was her longtime business manager and maintains NinaSimone.biz: "When she started writing protest songs, she would see Aretha and Nancy Wilson doing guest appearances and she would go into a frenzy, like 'Why ain't I?!?' I said, 'You can't scream and holler about killing white people and think they're going to have you as an entertainer.' "
Jill Scott met Nina Simone "at a show in Philadelphia five or six years ago. She was so very regal; always wearing her hair natural and always accenting her distinctively African features. To be such a classic beauty, a black woman unabashed, and have the world tell you you're not—the treatment of Nina Simone was rude and very disrespectful."
Kenny Dope, the New York City DJ, is one-half of the legendary Masters at Work production duo that remixed Nina's "See-Line Woman" for Verve Remixed. "We didn't have masters. Her recording was amazing, it was recorded in the 1960s—we just found the break. Her spirit is totally there."
Speaking of Nina Simone's indefatigable spirit ... Black America Web columnist Tonya Weathersbee essays Simone's anthemic "Mississippi Goddam" and the refusal of Haley Barbour—that state's governor and former Republican National chair—to issue a posthumous pardon to wrongly convicted Clyde Kennard, recently profiled here at Rod 2.0.

In the "reasons why we need alternative energies" category, here's an article describing how the United States' East Coast and California have the highest rates of sea level rise. Due to a number of factors like salinity, temperature, and currents, these areas are "sinking" more quickly than most other places in the world. Our preference for living near water means that even seemingly small amounts of sea level change can be pretty significant. Hopefully, California will acknowledge the threat it serves and not refer to it as "recurrent flooding" or disregard it completely like some other states we know.
American coasts have the worst luck with climate change

Keynote Speaker: Van Romans
Rethinking the Role of the Artist
Mr. Van Romans was the keynote speaker for the 2011 TASA conference held Saturday evening at the stunning Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus. Romans earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Sculpture, from the University of Southern California. For more than 30 years, Mr. Romans was a professor of exhibit design and museum management.
In his more than 25 years with the Walt Disney Company, Mr. Romans created galleries and cultural exhibitions throughout the world. He established the company's collections management program and implemented museum standards for the care and control of the Walt Disney Imagineering art collection of over 100,000 works.
He has served as a key advisor to museums throughout the world including the Smithsonian, The Palace Museum in Beijing, The National Museum of New Zealand, The Venezuela Museum of Anthropology, and the United States State Department's Art in Embassies program. His current position is President of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History; a stunning science and history museum that feels as if it was created for visual artists.
Van Romans embodied this year's conference theme: Fluid Dynamics-Navigating the evolving arts, particularly the evolving boundaries between art, education and related fields. In his keynote address, Romans encouraged the audience to take on any opportunity that presents itself. His was the designing of a shoe store that catapulted him into the long and fruitful career mentioned above. -Angel Fernandez
Paul Hanna Lecture: Robbie Barber
The Paul Hanna Lecture for the 2011 Texas Art School Association was given by Robbie Barber, sculpture professor at Baylor University. Robbie's lecture focused on the development of a body of work rooted in rural North Carolina. Robbie shared a photo log of a changing landscape once dominated by tobacco farming using traditional methods. One of the key elements was the old smokehouse architecture used by the farmers to cure their product. Robbie has documented how these structures have changed over the years as they fade back into the surrounding landscape. Other
influences include old tools, trucks, trailers, and a myriad of other found objects that populate the landscape and flee markets of Robbie's home state. Robbie continued his presentation by showing how his sensitivity to the aesthetic feel of early 20th century North Carolina translates into carefully constructed sculptures with a unique sense of play and imagination. Examples included flying house trailers, giant baby carriages made out of old airstream parts, miniature smokehouses with poetic appendages made of pipe and gauges, and a wall installation of improvised hammers. In recent years Robbie has embarked on a series of cast iron figures with painted surfaces. We will look forward to how this line of inquiry will play out in his work. -Fred Spaulding

I sat in her office. I wasn't sure what to do. Maybe she could help.
So I started to explain what happened. Things had felt somewhat strange from the very start. Comments on my looks instead of my ability, strange stares, requests for lots of one on one time that didn't seem necessary. Too many questions about my personal life. I didn't want to lose out on this opportunity to work with him that I had worked so hard to get, I didn't want to be cut off from his field in this organization if he got mad. I had been told, over and over, say no clearly to resolve this issue, but I was scared to. Comments on how I looked good started to get more common. Eventually, alone at night in a closed office, he hugged me and lingered and started to kiss my neck and suddenly the situation became unambiguous. I pulled away, ran away abruptly.
She told me this wasn't the first time, and that sexual harassment was so common she kept a list of the women he and others had harassed or assaulted.
Or another incident-- I'd been talking with a man I had really admired. Technical discussions, invitations to technical groups, mentoring. He asked for a date one day. I said no. He no longer responded to my emails. Suddenly, I was cut off. He said he couldn't handle it. I lost a mentor, a teacher, a trusted colleague-- just like that.
Or another-- being assigned to a project with a team member that was very important to my career. Requests to stay late at night when no one else is there make sense at first, but then he comes closer, touches my leg, holds my hand. I'm terrified. He has more cred than me at the company, he could get me fired in an instant. But eventually, I make it clear that this is unacceptable. My words are met with anger.
Smaller incidents-- a client asking me angrily what a woman was doing here doing a hardware installation. A drunk senior coworker with clout hitting on me in front of everyone and it feeling accepted. Not being taken seriously in technical discussion.
There was a point, when I was younger, in which I just assumed men didn't respect me technically and that all compliments I did get had hidden intentions.
I've been the only woman in most of my companies and classrooms. I've had multiple coworkers tell me I was the first woman programmer they had ever worked with. I'm sure that contributes.
A woman once gave me the advice to just put up with it and do my best at work until I can feel safe enough to push back.
I guess that's the advice I've been following. I'm safe now, obviously. So that's good.
I'm not sure that's good advice, though.
I was discussing a client who had treated me poorly in a meeting today. I was talking business, moving forward, etc. It just seemed natural to me to discuss this.
"I'm not working with those jerks, Stephanie. And we aren't working with anyone who treats you that way. We don't need to."
The realization that I don't need people like that is new to me.
I'd like to see more of that attitude, whenever possible.

Latest News
Golf is changing on so many fronts
Ai Miyazato, one of the stars of the LPGA, shed tears Sunday after she had won her third tournament of the year, the Tres Marias Championship in Morelia, Mexico.
It's not unusual for winners to weep for joy, but Miyazato's tears were not for herself. They were for Lorena Ochoa. The Tres Marias was Ochoa's farewell tournament. One of golf's best and dearest was calling it a career and she's only 28 years old, still has a kind of little girl look to her.
She's taking her brilliant game and going home to spend time with her new husband and three stepchildren. She said she's going to spend a normal life now, sleep in on weekends, visit with friends, go to the beach and take cooking classes.
She played the LPGA Tour for eight years, won 27 tournaments – including two major championships – and spent three years as the No. 1 women's player in the world. Such was her popularity in Mexico, she was always playing not only for herself but her country, but she said she never felt the pressure, "just joy and happiness."
Not many sports figures, especially golfers, retire so young. The only golfer who comes to mind was a great one, Bobby Jones. He did it in 1930, two months after winning the Grand Slam.
Most players leave reluctantly, usually after their ability has declined. If you've had a great career, though, if you've reached your goals and you believe you can be happy in a new life, why not?
Sunday was a day filled with drama and emotion, a day during which we felt a subtle shift in the game. On the day Ochoa played her last tournament round, a little bit of heaven fell to earth at the Quail Hollow Championship, the heavenly golf of Rory McIlroy, a Northern Irish lad who was three days shy of his 21st birthday. On a sternly challenging course, he shot a 10-under-par 62 to beat a powerful field and remind us of what we already knew, that a new generation of golf stars is at the doorstep.
It was stunning golf, powerful, beautiful, fearless. Given the situation, the stakes, competition and the difficulty of the course, it was the finest round I've ever seen.
Just ahead of McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, who is 21, was shooting a 67 to finish sixth. His potential, like McIlroy's, is off the charts.
But both got upstaged Sunday by yet another young player with seemingly endless possibilities. Ryo Ishikawa, 18 years old, was shooting a 12-under-par 58 to win a Japan Tour event. That's 58, not 68. That's 58, not 68.
And somewhere Matteo Manassero is turning heads with his dazzle. He was 16 years old when he won the British Amateur last year, 16 when he played in the U.S. Open, 16 when he made the cut in the Masters this year.
Get ready world.

text: Photography stared as a bit of an accident for me. It started after I broke my hand Memorial Day weekend after my freshman year of college. My summer plans of golf and lake activities was pretty much shot after surgery and I badly needed a new hobby to keep me occupied so I picked up my dad's old 35 mm camera for the first time.

Makeup: Revlon Create Your Gift Haul @ Myers
So recently I decided to stock up on my makeup haul after being stranded here in Sydney..
Myers was having a Revlon promotion, which I believe is in lieu of Christmas coming.
This is the GWP from Revlon consisting of six piece items with purchases of Aud39.95 and above.
The mascara Lash Potion by Grow Luscious is pretty standard user friendly so far. Not too compelling.
I have already started using the Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow colours (550- Enchanted), but still working out the best way to apply combination of the colours.
As you can see, there are four graduated shades with the lightest being used as the base, and black to line the base of eyelids and lashes to give the impression of making the eyes look wider and bigger.
I ended up purchasing this four piece makeup set that cost me about roughly fifty dollars.
There is the Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer(001), Revlon Photoready BB Cream (Light Medium), The Revlon stick concealer (Light Pale), and Revlon Photoready Sculpting Brush Palette (003- Neutral).
As I use two types of concealer, one which is darker base as I have pretty bad eye bags, the Revlon Photoready (Light Pale) stick concealer shade however too light for my skin tone and is only suitable for me as the second concealer shade after applying the BB cream which works as the basic foundation for me.
As the name goes, I have used it as a contour powder as well as highligher, as there are three different shades here in the palette. The flesh coloured tone will be used more as a bronzer.

Auto/Trucking Accidents
The Plaintiff in automobile/trucking cases must prove, at a minimum, negligence — which in Georgia is the absence of due care or that care which would be exercised by a reasonable person under similar circumstances. These cases often involve violations of the "Rules of the Road" and/or federal regulations and statutes pertaining specifically to semi-tractor trailers. There are special rules about proving various kinds of damages which are known as special, general and punitive damages. Most cases involve subrogation issues related to payments by health insurance carriers/Medicare/Medicaid. Oftentimes, there are issues regarding driver training, guest passengers, driving history, aggravated/gross negligence, DUI drivers, talking on a cell phone/texting, or leaving the scene of an accident.
Representative Cases
- Death of young mother of two when she struck a vehicle that had become disabled on the highway as a result of poor maintenance of the vehicle and inadequate training of the driver.
- Severe brain damage to an individual when she collided with a poorly lit tractor trailer which pulled out from a chicken farm, blocking her lane of travel with the trailer.
- Failure to properly mark a disabled semi tractor-trailer with the required triangles/ warning devices on the interstate, causing a working father to strike the rear of the truck resulting in catastrophic head and facial injuries.
- Tragic accident on Christmas Eve, when a beer delivery truck crossed the centerline striking our clients' vehicle, killing their two year old baby and causing massive orthopedic injuries to the mother.
- Family of ten and two foreign exchange students going on vacation to the beach when a tractor-trailer driver lost control, crossed the median and struck the van, killing eight members of the family including both parents, one of the exchange students and seriously injuring the remaining three passengers.
- Numerous state and federal tort claims actions, including one against a GBI agent who crossed the centerline and killed a young woman.
- An undercover police chase resulted in an intersection collision catastrophically injuring mother and her daughter.
- Numerous motorcycle accidents involving the death of a family member and/or serious permanent injury to our clients operating the motorcycles.
- A high wage earning pharmaceutical saleswoman exiting the bathroom stall of interstate rest stop when an elderly man, attempting to park, crashed through the wall and into the bathroom, pinning her against the sink, resulting in a crushed pelvis and other significant orthopedic injuries.

Subscribe To Grid 2 Gameplay Trailer Can't Beat The Timer Updates
I've already subscribed
A new in-game trailer from Codemasters' upcoming arcade racer, Grid 2 features some break-neck speed racing and intense drifting within closed circuit tracks. The latest trailer, as depicted above [via DSO Gaming], is a race against the timer to reach the finish line. It's kind of crazy because as the timer is counting down you're hoping that things just turn out a lot different than the way they do.
I think it's an effective promotional trailer, however, as it gives gamers a real sense of racing urgency. It's also to see how many racing simulators incite a lot more tension than FPS games given that the stress of failure continually mounts every time a checkpoint pole is passed and that timer just keeps on dwindling down at such a rapid pace. I always found myself becoming distracted between keeping pace in the lap and trying to watch the to timer to see if I even have enough time to get to the finish line.
I'm more than sure that the timer was artificially set lower to enhance that moment of tension to get racing geeks and gearhead aficionados telling themselves that they could beat the clock if they just had a crack at it. I'm pretty sure it also convinced a lot of gamers to go look for a Grid 2 demo to try their hand at it for themselves.
You can look for Grid 2 to launch on May 28th for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. For more information on the new racer from Codemasters, feel free to visit the game's official website.

Excellent all-round car
By Kevin on Sunday, July 21, 2019Own the 330i xDrive version without the M-Sport Package on 18" wheels with all-season run-flat tires. The ride is much better than either my 2017 Audi TTS or 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 4Matic. It is the quietest car I've ever owned. Fuel economy is also the best of any car I've had and I averaged 36.4 MPG on a 450 mile road trip. Since I am still breaking in the engine I have not revved it past 4000 rpm, but it feels strong, though not as strong as the 2.0 liter turbo four in my Audi. Steering feel is a bit on the heavy side which is what I like. I ordered the car with the tan leather interior and Harman Kardon sound system. The Harman Kardon sounds great after I set the equalizer to my preferences and adjusted the sound so it was not so front speaker biased. The tan leather is attractive and offers a nice contrast to the black interior pieces. The car is roomy, well built and attractively styled. I have gotten complements on the car's appearance from everyone who has looked at it and my wife loves it.

Great car!
By Misfit on Wednesday, September 18, 2019An all around awesome vehicle. This car gas everything imaginable. The gas mileage they estimate is spot on. Acceleration is A+. It has more cameras than all the pro photographers at a football game. This is my 3rd BMW and I like this car better than the 335i I owned in 2011.

Today, I present to you my favorite homemade version of Clean Eating Classic Guacamole.
There are so many different variations of guacamole out there and everyone has their favorite…I know I do!
This is an easy and basic guacamole recipe, but you never know, someone might need to know how to make it!
Guacamole is so versatile!
It is a perfect match with my Raw Corn Chips, especially if you are looking for a healthy 100% raw snack.
You can dip vegetables in it or even dehydrated crackers, add it to a salad or put some on a vegan sandwich or wrap.
However you make it, just make sure you make it with fresh, real ingredients.
Take a look at the 22 ingredients in one of these store bought "guacamole" seasoning packets:
McCormick Guacamole Seasoning Mix
Ingredients: MALTODEXTRIN, SALT, ONIONS, MILK NON FAT DRY, TAPIOCA STARCH MODIFIED, PEPPERS BELL RED, SOUR CREAM SOLIDS (CREAM, MILK NON FAT DRY, AND CULTURES) GARLIC, CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, MILK NON FAT DRY CULTURED, LEMONS JUICE SOLIDS, PARSLEY, LACTIC ACID, CITRIC ACID, PEPPERS RED EXTRACTIVES AND FLAVORS NATURAL (source)
FoodFacts.com rating: "C -"
That's a lot of dairy ingredients, GMO's, processed salt and preservatives.
It's a whole lot easier, and healthier, to just season it with a few simple and fresh ingredient like cilantro, garlic, and onions.

I always have good intentions at the start of every year. I try to stay away from making "resolutions" at the New Year because, let's face it, "resolution" is just a shitty replacement word for "unattainable and/or disgustingly lofty goals I will probably never reach and will promptly quit working on in approximately five to nine weeks."
So instead, I have decided to call mine "intentions." Because I am one of those aforementioned people who drops those
"resolutions" "intentions" like a bad habit (which, ironically, are immeasurably difficult to just "drop"…). And then let's just admit the obvious: my use of "intentions" is just a shitty, fancy word for "resolutions." Alas, I digress.
But anyway, if you've been reading along with me for any length of time, you'll know that this isn't my first time writing about goals or resolutions or intentions or whatever the hell you want to call them. (You can read about them here and here should you be interested.) And I dropped the ball on many of them. I even went so far as to re-evaluate some of those things back in May and change them up a bit, and I still dropped the ball. Since then, I have changed them, in my mind, a bit more.
The moral of this post: I cannot be trusted with my own goals.
I looked back at my New Year intentions in May because we, as a collective group of humans, were nearly halfway through another year and I knew I had screwed up. And now, nine days out from my birthday, I'm looking again and starting a new list. Rather than considering things strictly from the perspective of January 1st, I have a tendency now to look at a new year beginning with each birthday; or each November, really. Since my father died on the first of November, I started counting the years he was gone, and then two weeks later my birthday would come, and it all just sort of meshed together. Another November, another year. Another list. I do love lists and love crossing things off. There are few things in life that give me joy the way tracing a line through a phrase to show it as "completed" does.
I'm not ready to make this new list public yet, but I'm thinking about it and working on it. Looking at my life list, I don't even know where to begin. The first thirty things (also known as "Thirty Before 30" to me) are looking more and more daunting. I'm getting uncomfortably closer to 30 than I would like to admit. And it's not the turning 30 part that is worrisome to me – it's not crossing those thirty things off the list before reaching 30 that makes me nervous.
You see, I'm one of those people who becomes disappointed with myself pretty easily. I've gotten better about this over the years; my disappointment used to also come with a heavy dose of self-shaming. I've moved past most of that, but maybe I've moved too far… These days, if I don't get something done, I shrug it off by going to Starbucks and telling myself it wasn't that big of a deal. Or telling myself I'll just get back to my routine tomorrow. Or telling myself I don't really care. The secret, however, is that I do care. I care a lot. But somehow I've gotten so so good at pretending that it's no big thing and I don't stop, I just keep walking.
Maybe that's where I need to start this year: taking responsibility for the things I set out to attain. Reach those things, or at least make an attempt. And then, if I don't make it, at least I know I tried. But not trying? That has to stop.
So here's to another new year! We can celebrate on January 1st together, but for now, let's just bask in my future plan-making. Because I can already feel it: 2015 is going to be a freakin' awesome year for us, Reader.
Believe it.

Sweet Shelly - how lovely to see your words as you share about my book! You certainly prayed me though the very long journey towards publication. Then to have my copy arrive when all was so difficult with Brian losing his job. I'd been delayed in getting it off to you and God surely was in that timing. I pray it brings bright new Holy Spirit uplift whenever you and your family engage with it.
I love the Audrey Assad song you chose to accompany this post. I know some of her music but this one is a new one for me - and one I will get and remember as a gift from you!!
Love, Love - and many thank yous!

I have a pretty good blend of design, technology and business. I completed my bachelors degree in design, as well as a post-grad certificate in rich media (interactive multimedia) from Humber, a few courses from Emily Carr, and my MBA at Ryerson. I refined my eye for design by working as a product designer in Vancouver then Toronto, and several years ago made the switch to multimedia design.
During the day I am the Community Manager for the Humber Students' Federation doing a little bit of design, a lot of web development, and a huge amount of social media marketing. I also teach part time at the University of Guelph-Humber in web. In addition to that, I build some other digital projects on my "free time" at Digital Moose.
Currently I live in Milton, Ontario with my lovely wife Jennifer and our Boston Terrier named Flash. Yes – the dog's name is a web design joke. Go figure.

When picturing a Middle Eastern dancer, most of us have some image of an enchanting, bare midriff woman shimmying with a coin scarf around her hips. While this stereotype may be true of many of today's belly dancers, men have been publicly performing a variety of folkloric dance styles for centuries. Some of the most popular folkloric styles of dance are Raqs Sharqi, Whirling Dervish, Debke, and the Cane or Stick Dance.
Belly dancing, also known as Oriental Dance or Raqs Sharqi is a theatrical adaptation of traditional Arabic folk dances performed by both men and women. It wasn't until the early 20th century that it became an exclusively female dance for men. Prior to the period of European influence [late 1800's], male oriental dancers were not novelties; they were quite common.
Male oriental dancers wear colorfully embroidered vests, shirts, and loose fitting pants. They also wear scarves around their hips, not only for style, but also to emphasize the visibility of their intricate hip movements. Audiences are pleasantly surprised by their ability to control their bodies as they shimmy and undulate, much like their female counterparts, but from a masculine point of view. This oriental dancer is balancing a 3' tall hookah on his head at the same time as dancing and playing finger cymbals to exemplify his high level of skill.
The Stick or Cane dance, known as Tahtib, is an Egyptian folk dance. This dance involves a lightweight stick or cane that's typically about 4' long. Some say this dance is similar to fencing because the dancers use the canes to depict a strategic fighting routine.
Stick and Cane dancing has been featured at many events booked through Zohar Productions including a media event debuting the Trump Organization's joint real estate venture with Nakheel, a Dubai luxury hotel developer. Below are the dancers posing with Donald Trump, Jr.
Zohar also provided a cane dance performance for an event inaugurating Qatar Airline's new airline route to Dallas International Airport.
The Whirling Dervish dance is a Sufi dance originating in Turkey. Traditionally, it is performed at a customary worship ceremony where the dancers dress in an all white costume with a tall hat. The spinning of the dervishes symbolizes the journey to reach the source of all perfection.
The Egyptian style of this dance, Tanoura, is a popular form of entertainment at parties. Tanoura dancers wear multiple layers of colorful skirts, mesmerizing the audience as they spin and dance to the music. Zohar Productions provides the Whirling Dervish dance at parties and festivals across the United States.
Debke is a popular Arabic folk dance in several countries including Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine. Debke performers, dance in a line holding hands or linking arms. When the music begins, they are led by what is called a raas or a lawweeh in a dance of synchronized steps. Debke is traditionally performed at weddings and other festive celebrations where guests can join in on the celebratory dance. The Al-Arz Lebanese Art Group is a Canadian troupe that performs and teaches Debke, as well as other dance styles including Oriental Dance and Zaffé (traditional bride and groom entrance).

Reminding myself from time to time that less is more. I love accessorizing so much that sometimes I forget to appreciate a beautiful piece. For this outfit, I wanted all the focus on the shirt dress. I kept it minimal so that the smallest of details are highlighted: the flowy sheer material, the long slits and the silver rings on the sleeve. Simple, but sophisticated.

It's Yarn Along again. Time to see what knitters are knitting and reading all around the interwebs. It's a great way to find new knitting blogs and get people to find yours too!!
I'm recovering from all of that seaming on the mitered cross blanket so it's been nothing but sock knitting for the last couple of days, however I have just pulled the Dahlia Cardigan out of ye olde knitting bag so I'm hoping I can finish a few round of that this week. As for the sock, it's some color of Colinette Jitterbug. It's all purples and blues and a little shot of green. I'm very happy with how it's coming out and motoring away towards th heelo. I'm not sure exactly how long the recipient's feet are. However, I just usually knit a little longer than my own feet. There's something increadibly comfortable about oversized hand knitted socks.
As for reading I'm approaching another cooking phase and trying to find a new recipe to inspire me. I have all this leftover pulled pork so I'm thinking maybe I should make some enchiladas... or maybe some sort of meat filled pastry. I'm more than a little obsessed with anything that Martha Stewart publishes and everyday FOOD is one of my all time favorite food magazines and Fresh Flavor Fast has many of the best recipes from the magazine.
What are you knitting and reading this week?

Make Your Own Espadrilles
By Sarah
I have always wanted to make my own shoes and now it's possible thanks to these reasonably priced, DIY espadrille soles and supplies by Dritz. The soles, fabrics (outer & lining), twine and needles are all sold separately which is great because you may already have 3" needles or twine in your sewing box and who doesn't have a heap of lonely fabric scraps waiting for transformation. That said, you could potentially walk away in your cute new espadrilles for under $20!
The best part of these make-your-own espadrilles is that the possibilities for embellishment are endless. Just google image 'embroidered espadrilles' and you will be in total awe at the fabulous examples out there! I kept it simple with our store sample by stitching two humble rows of black yarn down the toes' top and then went back and twisted a turquoise thread around the black stitches. Voila! Interested in giving these a shot? Yay! Come visit or call us and see if we have your size. We stock limited sizes but are happy to order whatever size your footsies require.

Architecture couldn't contain him. Neither could interior design. Eleazar Delgado, amateur historian, intellectual philosopher, and resident Wynwood artist, needed more freedom of expression, so he turned away from concrete and towards canvas.
Originally from Caracas, Venezuela, Delgado says that Miami has become his muse -- which is evident in the images of such Miami notables as James Deering in Delgado's work. Miami is where it's at for Delgado. "There's nowhere else I'd rather work. Miami continues to inspire my body of work and the art community here is a vibrant one with unprecedented potential."
And the transplant probably knows more about local history than most natives. As we strolled through his gallery, he regaled us with tasty informational tidbits about Julia Tuttle, the Deering brothers, and Miami's art scene.
After having experienced Latin America and Europe, why did Delgado choose Miami?
"In Caracas, artists are on their own as far as creating a following, generating traffic, and finding resources -- there isn't a sense of community. Miami has a wonderful community-oriented group of artists and art lovers that make being an artist a constant learning experience. Everyone knows each other, supports each other, and inspires each other here. It's a big city with a small city feel. We're a strong collective making moves in the name of growing the Miami art scene. It's something I take great pride in."
And out of all of Miami, why open his space in Wynwood?
"It just felt right. I didn't know what I was looking for until I found it. I love that I'm able to open to the public during the day, have both a space to showcase my work as well as enough studio space to paint. The energy in Wynwood is dynamic and inspiring."
A constant and ubiquitous reminder of the impact of Miami's art scene is the bloated success of Romero Britto, which thrills some artists and irks others. Has Delgado experienced any Britto backlash? "Some people love to love you and some love to hate you. This is true for anyone successful in any field," says Delgado. "Fortunately, I have yet to personally experience backlash. I feel very blessed that my work has been well received and that the concept is something Miami can appreciate because through my work I am telling Miami's story."

He adds, "Miami is becoming a true art player in the art world and it's very exciting to be part of this growth. Of course this means trying to keep up with marketing, PR, networking, supporting fellow artists, and most importantly, scheduling enough time to actually work on painting!"
Delgado concludes, "I love when I have the whole day to just create, no events, meetings or social engagements. Just me and the canvas and my paints in my own secluded world. Being in my studio makes me the happiest, creating something that conveys my passion and inspiration is really my favorite part of my day-to-day."
Delgado's work is usually on display at Eleazar Delgado Studios in Wynwood and is also being exhibited at the Downtown Miami Residents and Visitors Center (900 S. Miami Avenue #183, Miami) through August 21. Attend the opening reception Saturday, August 4 from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. Delgado will also be participating at Bird Road Art Walk on August 18 at 7 p.m. For more information visit eleazardelgado.com and follow him on Twitter @eleazardelgado.

The only thing that seems to not work well this way is kale. I do sauté, grill, or roast lots of veggies, and even there the microwave is great for hard veggies I might want to par-cook before roasting or grilling. Cleaning out a dish I've nuked food in also seems easier than cleaning out a pan I've boiled water in (no mineral ring). Of course I could do this without a microwave, but it makes my life a lot easier.

Dental Implants
Implants are generally made of titanium and are placed in the jawbone near the socket of the missing tooth. Bone grows around the implant to anchor it in place. Once the implant is anchored in place an abutment is attached to the implant and a crown is attached to the abutment. Implants are extremely predictable and the adjacent teeth do not have to be prepared to support the artificial tooth.

There may be months until you need to start that spring break cleanse, but it's already time to start taking note of upcoming resort style. Designers like BCBG Max Azria, Altuzarra, and House of Holland are revealing global-inspired looks for spring.
Designs embrace the colorful spirits of foreign cultures. While the runway flaunts fully patterned pieces, this may be a tad loud even for most fashion-lovers. Walking down the street in a floor-length dress of several vibrant colors is a bit bold. To play the fashion game, but not stray too far from your comfort zone, incorporate the more ethnic style into your accessories. Bloom Showroom's BeachBu, Natalie Frigo, and Sunday Girl are well ahead of most other accessories designers with jewelry using traditional beading and patterns found all over the world.
The best part about using jewelry to emanate these new ethnic vibes? You can wear them anywhere, not just on vacation. Because how many of us are actually going to stick to those diets and be resort ready by spring?
