One of the joys of building a new home is that you will have all new appliances!
This is a great place to splurge. So much great new stuff is available that it is really fun to explore and make decisions.
The kitchen is one of the really sexy areas of the home. So do yourself a favor and plan to spend a little extra here.
This page is included in this how-to guide for owner builders as a check list for the planning and design phase of your project and to help you as you inspect the actual installation towards the end of your great adventure.
If you are going to be designing your kitchen yourself, keep in mind that most ovens require a 30" opening. Most refrigerators require 36".
Most appliances are now being built with energy conservation in mind. Check with your appliance dealer as to which ones are available with high energy efficiency ratings. Look for appliances exhibiting the Energy Star logo.
Energy Star is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.
Here are appliances typically included in a new home. When preparing your Plans and Specifications, each appliance to be included in the home should be specified by manufacturer, model number, and color. Upgraded appliances will get you a higher appraisal and possibly a higher loan.
Since you are building your own home, you may want to include the cost of other new appliances such as a refrigerator, freezer, washer and dryer, water filter, etc. in your mortgage payments.
Construction Considerations
Most of your appliances will be installed by the electrician. Special equipment like intercoms or built-in vacuums may be installed by the supplier or his sub. Keep a laundry list of each piece of equipment you have specified.
Check each piece carefully. Check model numbers. Compare each item with literature which may have influenced you to buy it. Check colors and finishes.
Check for defects and damage when each piece comes out of the box - before installation if possible. This will help distinguish between damage resulting from shipment as opposed to that occurring during installation.
Make sure the appliances are exactly what you have specified, are securely
fastened, and fit the spaces prepared for them very closely.
Check the installation. Is it secure? Check all owner operated moving parts. Do they work (open, close, move, etc.) smoothly and properly? Test each item thoroughly. Run each piece of equipment through several cycles. If they don't work correctly, it may be a lot easier to replace them at this stage rather than later.

2PM and SNSD release new version of Cabi Song MV
After releasing the much-anticipated Cabi Song MV by 2PM and SNSD for Caribbean Bay last week, it has met with a mixed reception with some applause for the hot scenes while others criticized it for being over the top.
Among the noticeable changes were two scenes centered around Yuri, the first being her cleavage and the second getting a lotion rub from Nichkhun have been switched with friendlier scenes. Otherwise, the MV is almost the same as the original one. So do you now prefer the new or the original MV?

Keeping property safe during a hurricane
Protecting your property means taking precautions and making advance preparations well ahead of storm season. Start planning now.
Learn your vulnerability to flooding from hurricanes by finding out the elevation of your property and checking floodplain maps. As construction increases in your area, floodplains can change.Check your insurance coverage. Most homeowner insurance policies do not cover flood damage. Learn about the National Flood Insurance Program. Find out if your home meets current building code requirements for high winds. Structures built to meet or exceed current building code high-wind provisions have a better chance of surviving violent windstorms.
Garage doors are frequently the first feature in a home to fail. Reinforce all garage doors so that they are able to withstand high winds.
If you do not live in an evacuation zone or a mobile home, designate an interior room with no windows or external doors as a Safe Room.
If you live in an evacuation zone, DO NOT plan to stay during a hurricane.
Before hurricane season, assess your property to ensure that landscaping and trees do not become a wind hazard. Trim all dead wood, and weak branches or overhanging branches from all trees. Certain trees and bushes are vulnerable to high winds and any dead tree near a home is a hazard.
Consider landscaping materials other than gravel or rocks.

Nicole Telfer of http://www.empoweredkids.co.uk interviews Byron Katie on parenting:
Q: Can you help us understand what lies beneath those emotional triggers? Why are kids so good at pushing our buttons?
Katie: If I see them the way they are, then we're connected. If I see the old them of the past, it influences the way I see them now. The problem lies with me, not with my child. When we stop blaming the child and look to ourselves, that's when real change begins.
Q: My kids don't listen to me. The only way I can get them to do as I say is to yell and scream.
Katie: When I think they're not listening to me, am I listening to them? No one is guilty. There are just two people who love each other trying to communicate.
Q: How can we tell when we're observing behavior, that is something they need to address, or if it's something they're mirroring in us that we need to address?
Q: How can I use The Work so that I can stay grounded? Sometimes I just lose it.
Katie: Sometimes we can't connect. Later, I'd get a Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet, I'd close my eyes, and I'd imagine myself back into that situation when I was frustrated with my child. I'd imagine us, just the way we were, and I would identify thoughts I was thinking in that situation. The Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet is made for this. It wasn't my child who caused my anger; it's what I was thinking and believing.
Then I would question each thought, using the four questions and the turnarounds.
Example: He doesn't listen to me.
1. Is it true? (Yes or no.)
I'd close my eyes and I witness what I said to them, the emotions I felt.
2. Can I absolutely know that it's true?
3. How do I react, what happens, when I believe that thought?
I see that I put my hands on my hips. I gave my child "the look."
I threw up my hands.
I can see so clearly how I reacted when I believed the thought "He doesn't listen to me."
4. Who would I be without the thought?
The Turnarounds:
I don't listen to me. I wasn't listening to the things I was saying. I wasn't taking my own advise. I just kept talking to him in that oblivious way.
I don't listen to him.
He does listen to me.
Then I look at that situation and it shows me examples of how the turnaround is as true or truer.
Even if a child is trying to drown me out, he hears me. By going back to situation and witnessing, I can always see where that child is listening.
When we really listen, we can hear the signals that our children are giving us, and they wake us up.
If there's a problem in my house, I look to myself. That's very empowering, because no one has to change other than me. That's what husbands and children are for; they push our buttons so that we can get free.
Q: As parents, how can we continue to teach our kids to keep practicing The Work, so they can find the peace within themselves?
Q: How can I use The Work to deal with my need for approval so I don't put that onto my kids?
Q: My twelve-year-old daughter has become very closed. She won't open up and tell me about her day or her interactions with her friends. I feel like I'm locked out of her life. How can I find my way back in?
Nicole: The biggest life lesson I've taken away from your Work is that the whole purpose for these close, connected relationships is to teach me more about myself. They stand up and show me where I need to grow. And your book for children, Tiger-Tiger, Is It True? allowed me to introduce the whole process to my kids at a really young age.
"If think they need to turn it around, I need to turn it around.
If I think someone should question their thoughts, I need to question my thoughts." —Byron Katie

I've had tears in my eyes all weekend. Dumb ocean. Of course I missed the 2 am (and then the 3am) texts. Of course cell reception would be bad. Of course I wouldn't hear your voice tell me those sweet words. Of course your world would be sleeping, while mine would be rejoicing, wanting to shout from rooftops.
Of course, none of that matters.
Ella is fine wearing a dress, she wants you to know that. Matt told Jack, who came downstairs twinkling, giving his own play-by-play to the others. I sat on the couch with my coffee, blinking away the happiness, the melancholy of being separated. It's bittersweet, just a bit, but so much more sweet than I can fathom.
You will be a wife soon. A wife!
Oh, we have prayed for that man.
Knowing God could only create a wonder, someone who would be good enough for you, someone who could match your creativity and your joy and still joke about your tall forehead. Only those of us who love you best could understand that, and we're all in on the joke because it shows how much he loves you. Just you. For you.
We toasted you last night. Because you are worth celebrating, not just for the engagement, but for your past and present and future. For how God made you and how He knows you. For Nathan and the adventures you will have together. For the joy and wonder (perseverance and patience, too) we know is coming. And for the little art-cultivating, music-playing, people-loving babies that may come your way. For all of it.
So Sister, here's to you. On your engagement. Even from afar, three cheers to you and your fella.
Hip Hip... Hooray.
I write letters to my sisters, both the God-given ones and the blood-tied ones. Letters for the regular days and for the totally-amazing-non-regular-in-every-way days. This day was one of the latter... more of both, though, are still to come.

My writing is influenced by a rich diversity of people, places and experiences. Coupled to this is a love of music, art, and the written word, and my constant need to create.
I was brought up on an orchard in Donnybrook in the South West of Western Australia. As a young adult, I worked overseas in London on and off for nearly six years. During that time, the desire for adventure took me to many (often perilous) places as far afield as Moscow and Marrakech, Samoa and San Antonio.
In my thirties I spent four years of early motherhood in the Riverina District of New South Wales widening my understanding and appreciation of rural Australia.
It was not until later, while bringing up four children and studying music and English literature part-time at the University of Western Australia, that I resurrected my long-lost desire to write, finally graduating in 2000 with First Class Honours in Creative Writing.
I went on to do a PhD in Writing at Edith Cowan University, after being awarded a postgraduate scholarship. My thesis, a novel and exegesis, earned me the Dean's prize in 2008.
In 2009 I was awarded a writing residency at Varuna, a writers' retreat in the Blue Mountains near Sydney.
My debut novel, Finding Jasper, was published by Margaret River Press in 2012. In 2013, it was long listed for the 2013 Dobbie Award.
My latest book is a biographical novel based on the life of my great-great grand aunt, leading Australian suffragist, Henrietta Augusta Dugdale.
For many years I have lived in Perth in an old Federation house. Occasionally I travel to exciting, out-of-the-way places, but still enjoy retreating to the natural beauty of the South West with my husband whenever I can.

Tape It Down
I spent the last week visiting the AARP headquarters where I work. I'm a teleworker based in Columbia, Missouri tasked with helping train the entire organization about social media. Those tasks range from understanding the ethics and etiquette behind the use of social media to ways to use it effectively on a personal and professional level. It's a vast task that I'm trying to do in as logical a manner as possible. The one resounding theme I taught as I met with groups from all kinds of different portions of the organization was: You need to organize your social media usage or else you will feel completely overwhelmed. I explain it like this:
Imagine you're in charge of painting a room. You have two options: Tape down the windows and edges or just try to do your best to not paint on the window frames, ceiling and crown molding. Taping down is tedious but when you finally get to painting, it's a fast and simple (non-stressful) process. Painting without tape is slow, tedious and stressful.
Social media is no different.
If you tape social media down, you have set up an organizational structure that helps you track information that matters to you to do your job and improve your connection to information that may be personally important. If you don't set up lists, RSS feeds, search alerts and more, you will feel overwhelmed and stressed.
Setting up lists, feeds, alerts and more can be tedious and annoying. But it is the best way to get your work done without feeling like you're drowning in a sea of information.
My co-worker, friend and managing editor of the AARP blog, Alejandra Owens (@frijolita) is working on a series on her blog called #GSD (or Get Sh#t Done) and lists a great collection of ways to tape your social media down. She's also shares how she personally stays up to date and organized. I am actually in the process of re-working my organizational use of social media since I changed jobs. The one thing I can say is no matter what you do in your career, being a part of social media is so much easier when you build a structure to help with how you manage time. Take a look at this presentation I've given a handful of times on time management and let me know how you keep social media taped down.

Do you remember how wonderful your teeth felt after your last teeth cleaning when you rubbed your tongue around? Professional dental cleanings are an important part of having a great smile, keeping your teeth healthy, preventing bad breath, and reducing your risk for heart disease and stroke.
The Registered Dental Hygienists at Texas Dental Specialists in Plano can help you maintain a healthy smile your entire life through regular teeth cleaning.
In many cases, simple preventive maintenance such as regular teeth cleanings is all that's needed to maintain good oral health.
For another large group, a lack of regular teeth cleanings or basic genetics has caused a deterioration of their oral hygiene. Such patients may need gum therapy or even gum surgery to regain their health, and later will need more frequent visits to maintain oral health.
A professional hygiene exam starts with low radiation digital X-rays and a thorough exam of your teeth and gums by the hygienist. This enables the hygienist and the doctor to determine the current state of each patient's oral health and the development of a customized teeth cleaning treatment plan.
The professional hygienists and doctors at Texas Dental Specialists would love to help you regain and maintain your oral health. Give us a call today to schedule a teeth cleaning, or complete the form to schedule your appointment.

Well the determination from last week paid off and this week it's all been about learning, so my word this week is learn.
Our new laptop arrived on Tuesday - we did go for a Mac in the end, which is very exciting. Until I had my iPhone, a few years ago now I hadn't had anything Apple but I've become a total convert and my iPhone 4 is still going strong. So since I opened the box I've been learning the world of Mac, I hadn't realised until this week just how entrenched in Windows I was. There's differences between Apple and Windows but I'm hoping none that I can't overcome and reprogram myself to accept. It's early days but on Wednesday I was very proud to write and publish my Mooch around Marlborough post completely on the Mac.
We had another new gadget arrive this week as well. Finally we've replaced our very old clock radio. I think the old one was on special offer from Boots in the early 90s, it's yellowed over the years and hisses and crackles a bit more than it should but has limped on. It was one of the final things I wanted to replace to finish our bedroom off. MOH was charged with finding something suitable and he did good with a Pure Pop Midi. Setting that up was a doddle, even more so than the Mac as when I plugged it in it did itself, even the time. I managed to set the alarm without reading the instructions (always a good sign) but haven't progressed to learning how the Bluetooth bit works yet, but that's on my list.
Theres also been some Just Dance action on the Wii where I've been learning some moves and scaring myself some more about the upcoming Danceathon. I've also reminded myself just how uncoordinated I can be, as I'm never sure if I should be using the same arm or leg or mirroring what's on the screen. Invariably I end up doing my own thing, which I think is fine - but I think I'm learning some new moves! As an aside its been a fab week sponsorship-wise and I'm very close to my target, so I've been reminded of what lovely friends and great support I have.
My final learning is bike-related and it's that I've started to master hills! Only small ones mind, I'm not at the level of cycling back up any of the hills from Greenwich yet, but I'm learning!
How's your week been?

I mentioned the other day that the Raptor Center was going to release a bald eagle called Harley because it arrived to wildlife rehab via motorcycle. Well, this eagle was released with a transmitter just like Golden Eagle 42. You can see my buddy Mark Martell and read about it over at the Pioneer Press website.
Photos of the eagle's release can be seen at The Raptor Center's blog.

The establishment Swamp of globalists, tax-funded climate alarmists, socialists, and others erupted into a frenzy of unhinged outrage and apoplectic fury after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. withdrawal from the illegal and unratified United Nations Paris Agreement on "climate change." Some of the most unhinged voices claimed Trump's move would destroy the planet and was tantamount to a war on America or humanity. From Obama and foreign rulers to crony capitalists and UN bureaucrats, the seething anger is clearly intense. And a full day after the president announced his historic decision to reclaim U.S. sovereignty, protect the Constitution, unlock domestic energy supplies, and reinvigorate America's economy, the Swamp's hysterical panic is still growing more extreme.
It is easy to see why the Swamp is losing its collective marbles over Trump's decision. Even after the globalist establishment and its institutions, including the pseudo-"mainstream" media, put all their combined credibility on the line, most Americans still do not even believe in their discredited global-warming theory — much less in the totalitarian, anti-American pseudo-solutions. And that means the jig may well be up for their deception. Indeed, if the climate "hoax," as Trump has called it, finally collapses completely, it may be close to impossible for the establishment and its propaganda organs to be taken seriously by the public again for the foreseeable future. And so, the Swamp is metaphorically doubling down on a metaphorical busted flush.
Of course, among reputable scientists, Republicans, taxpayers, workers, climate realists, patriots, constitutionalists, conservatives, libertarians, and everyday Americans concerned with jobs and rising prices, Trump's historic decision was greeted with widespread celebration. As the full impact of the move begins to sink in, that will undoubtedly grow. Trump supporters have been busy ridiculing alarmists and their attacks on the president. And fortunately for Americans and humanity, some foreign governments wedded to the man-made global-warming theory (or at least the totalitarian policies underpinned by it) vowed not to renegotiate the UN "climate" regime in response to the U.S. withdrawal. As Trump put it in his speech announcing the decision, "that's fine."
But for the Swamp, it is now a no-holds barred fight. Consider Obama, whose administration was largely responsible for the pseudo-treaty. Sounding like a petulant child despite being warned repeatedly that his illegal climate schemes would not stand, the former president lashed out at Trump with blatant falsehoods. "The nations [governments and tyrants] that remain in the Paris agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created," he claimed, as if jobs and "industries" reliant on taxpayer support to exist were desirable or productive. Of course, without the U.S. tax money for the Green Climate (slush) Fund, the UN scheme is practically dead already anyway, as multiple governments and regimes made clear at the UN summit.
Obama also tried to put a smiley face on it all, suggesting some state and local governments would be willing to cripple their own economies and impoverish their own constituents to prop up his UN scheme. "Even in the absence of American leadership; even as this administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I'm confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we've got," Obama claimed, sounding delusional to more sober-minded analysts. A handful of fringe left-wing politicians at the state and local level did claim they would stand by the UN scheme, but if they do, the jurisdictions they rule will suffer tremendously as businesses and taxpayers flee to friendlier regions.
The Soros-funded AstroTurf movement created by Obama, Organizing for Action (OFA), was even more unhinged. In a mass e-mail to the group signed by former Obama White House Communications Director Jen Psaki, the organization claimed Trump's decision was "devastating." She pretended, first of all, that Obama's unconstitutional promises to the UN and its member regimes — promises that were never ratified by the Senate, approved by Congress, or authorized by the Constitution — needed to be kept. In reality, Obama never had any authority to make such promises to begin with, and adhering to them would have only compounded the error. Still, Psaki and OFA promised that the "fight isn't over yet."
"Any way you slice it, pulling out of Paris is the wrong move," Psaki continued for OFA, claiming it was bad for jobs, the climate, health, safety, air, national security, water, the U.S. "relationship" with the world, children, and so on. "Thanks to Paris, united worldwide progress on climate change isn't theoretical anymore. Nearly every other country in the world is formally on board, with plans to make serious cuts in carbon pollution in the coming decades." Even Big Business and Big Oil supported the scheme, the OFA activist said after years of falsely claiming opposition to their scheming was coming from oil companies.
But there were many lies and deceptions in the screed that were largely representative of the broader Swamp's reaction. Of course, as all scientists know, CO2 is not "pollution," it is the "gas of life," and no matter how many times Swamp creatures and the increasingly irrelevant media repeat the lie, it will still be a lie. The fact that Third World dictators signed up to a scheme under which they would do nothing except keep their victims in poverty and collect welfare checks from U.S. taxpayers, meanwhile, is hardly impressive — regardless of whether Psaki and other alarmists dishonestly conflate those tyrants with the countries they oppress.
Indeed, most of the establishment's propaganda organs joined in the dishonesty, labeling as "pollution" the essential-to-life gas CO2 — literally exhaled by every person on earth in every breath. The press, ranging from the New York Times and the Washington Post to CNN and the networks, claimed other "countries" were upset about Trump's decision. In reality, the regimes ruling over those countries — many of them brutal totalitarians and mass murderers — were simply upset that the stream of U.S. tax funding to their corrupt governments was set to dry up. To claim that "countries" signed up is absurd.
Unsurprisingly, Al Gore, the discredited climate profiteer whose prophecies of doom have repeatedly proven to be completely wrong, was also apoplectic at the news of Trump's decision. "Removing the United States from the Paris agreement is a reckless and indefensible action," fumed the former vice president, widely ridiculed as a key "cult" leader for his role pushing the climate alarmism despite the growing amounts of evidence discrediting it. "It undermines America's standing in the world and threatens to damage humanity's ability to solve the climate crisis in time."
Former Secretary of State John Kerry was even more unhinged, claiming Trump's decision "may be the most self-defeating action in American history" and "one of the most shameful any president has made." "Those of us who have spent a lifetime fighting on this issue know that America pulling out of Paris will not only result in lost leadership, it will also result in lost momentum," he warned, perhaps forgetting that, until the early 1980s, the supposed "issue" was alleged man-made global cooling that was set to start a new ice age, even according to Obama Science Czar John Holdren.
Kerry, sounding like a false prophet of doom standing on the corner with a sign warning of that the "End is Near," also warned that if humanity does not do what he said, terrible apocalyptic scenarios await. Among the disasters Kerry listed that will afflict humanity if it refuses to repent of its carbon emission sins: "stronger storms, longer and more intense droughts, more wildfires, more strains on agriculture and fishing, a swell of climate refugees, and, as military brass has been warning for years, intensified conflict around the world." Similar predictions have been made for generations, and they have consistently been proven completely wrong.
Big Business, Big Oil, and crony capitalists feeding at the taxpayer trough such as Elon Musk, a self-styled "entrepreneur" whose business models always depend on tax money, also expressed fury. Musk even put out a note on social media saying "climate change is real" and vowing to withdraw from a few symbolic presidential councils he had been put on. In response, he was widely ridiculed, including by U.S. Senators, for his phony outrage and his use of a CO2-spewing private jet. Indeed, it has been reported that he uses his luxurious private jet to fly to Washington to lobby for even more of your tax money to support his crony companies.
Perhaps the most unhinged reaction of all — and that is saying something — came from billionaire crony capitalist Tom Steyer, who stood to make big profits from his investments in tax-funded "green" schemes in addition to his coal investments overseas. He was quoted in media reports saying Trump was "committing a traitorous act of war against the American people." Of course, the majority of the American people do not even believe in the discredited man-made warming theory, much less in the draconian pseudo-solutions demanded by the UN and its largely autocratic membership roster. So, in reality, Trump is simply obeying the Constitution and doing what he promised voters by canceling the illegal UN scheme.
In the days and weeks ahead, Americans and Trump will continue to be subjected to a barrage of unhinged hate and dishonest propaganda from the Swamp and its increasingly fringe media organs. However, many years of that propaganda were unable to convince enough American voters to fall for the scam, as evidenced by Trump's election on a platform of canceling the UN scheme. In response to the growing stream of fake news and the constant attacks from the establishment, Americans should redouble their efforts to expose the climate scam and oppose the UN's globalist agenda.

Many insects hibernate or go into a low energy state called diapause during the winter months. Termites are not one of them. This is an insect that can stay active all year round, especially if it finds its way into your home. "But I don't have termites!" you might say. Are you sure? Termites are a silent invader. Many times homeowners don't even realize they have termites till the damage is already done. With over $5 billion of property damage attributed to termites each year, can you afford to not learn the warning signs?
Subterranean termites can chew quietly on your support beams for years without you ever knowing it. The signs can be subtle. Here is a checklist that will help you detect these home-wrecking bugs.
The most notable sign of subterranean termites are the mud tubes they build on the foundations of homes so they can travel from the soil up into your wall voids without being exposed to the elements. These can sometimes go undetected because they can be built under decks, patios, or porches, and sometimes behind shrubs, bushes or trees. Inspect your foundation wall for these tubes, especially in hard to reach spots.
If you see paint chewed or wood carved up, that is a solid sign termites are in your home. They attack fences, decks, and wooden structures in your yard.
Piles of sawdust on the floor, running down a wall, or pasted in a ceiling corner, is clear indication that termites are present. These sawdust piles will most likely be found in the basement or in the attic, where it is still and quiet.
Sagging or bulging walls. If you see a wall that looks like it might be bulging out, put your ear to it. You'll be able to hear the termites moving around .
Windows and doors that don't shut right may be a sign that termites have done enough damage to cause your frames to slant.
If you see an insect that looks like a flying ant but doesn't have the three distinct body segments, you are looking at a termite. Even one of these crawling around on your window sill should prompt you to call a professional pest control company and have your home inspected.
Termites can turn a beautiful home into a condemned structure. Get termite protection today. You have invested too much into your home to allow it be eaten away by insects.

In a sad week for the cause of human rights in Russia, the government has shown once again its true colors towards the brave citizens who highlight abuses throughout the country. In the wake of one slain human rights worker and the discovery of another missing activist's body, the Tatarstan regional police raided the Kazan Human Rights Center, confiscated computers and detained its director, all under the pretext of an innocuous tax investigation. The Lantos Foundation unequivocally condemns this brazen police action, the kind of thuggish harassment
which has no place in a democratic society.
With each tragic revelation, the Russian government loses more credibility in the fight to protect basic rights against rogue police action. The Lantos Foundation calls on President Medvedev to stem this moral and legal drift and produce substantive reforms protecting the rights of individuals and especially those groups dedicated to human rights. As a former law professor, President Medvedev knows that the road of "legal nihilism" which Russia is currently traveling will only lead to a dead end as far as strengthening democracy, human rights and prosperity for the Russian people.

3 Days in Lisbon, Portugal
Hello friends!
So I arrived back in the states early Sunday morning due to long flight delays from Rome. I already miss the European atmosphere but I am SO happy to be back with my sweetie! I missed him so much and couldn't wait to see him! :))
Today I'll post about my time in Lisbon; followed by a post on my adventures in Rome!
Lisbon was breathtakingly beautiful! I loved the mix of both new and old architecture along the busy streets. I was staying in a business district within walking distance to the office but did a day of sightseeing on Sunday (the day I arrived) all around the city! I was pretty tired walking all over since I only got about 2 hours of sleep during my overnight flight but I pushed on to take advantage of my one day to tourist it up!
The highlights of my sightseeing in Lisbon included a beautiful monastery, views from an old tower and the coast, a 175 year old pastry shop, and the stunning statues and architectural elements!

Interior Courtyard of Monastery
Amazing Architectural Details of Monastery
View from Old Tower in the Middle of the City
View of 25 de Abril Bridge and Cristo-Rei Statue.

Delicious Pastries!

Intricate Architectural Facade
Monday and Tuesday were spent at the office. We worked very long days since we were had to stick to a tight schedule. After work, we would head straight to lengthy dinners. When I finally got home in the evenings I was so exhausted from the long day that all I did was talk with my family for a little bit and then shower and prepare to do it all over again in the morning. Though I was tired and run down (I ended up getting a sore throat and then a cold) it was all worth it! I loved the city and definitely loved the time that I was fortunate enough to spend there!
Have you ever been to Lisbon? If so, what was your favorite part about the city? I would love to hear about your travels!
Hope you enjoy the photos! :)

May's Songs and Poems
We All Once Were Babies
(From stepbystepcc.com)
(Tune: 'The Farmer in the Dell')
We all once were babies.
We all once were babies.
Just like small du-ucklings,
We all once were babies.
Continue with additional verses...
Just like soft ki-ittens...
Just like sweet pu-uppies...
Just like pink pi-iglets...
I Am So Very Tall
I am so very tall. (Stand up on tiptoes and stretch your arms up high.)
I used to be so small. (Bend over and touch the floor.)
Now I am tall. (Stand up on tiptoes and stretch your arms up high.)
Now I am small. (Bend over and touch the floor.)
And now you can't see me at all! (Squat all the way down and curl up into a ball.)
This Is the Way the Animals Move
(Tune: 'The Mulberry Bush)
This is the way the bunnies hop, the bunnies hop, the bunnies hop.
This is the way the bunnies hop on a warm spring day.
Continue with additional verses containing baby animal names and their movements...
ponies gallop
ducklings waddle
baby birds fly
kittens stretch
piglets snort
chicks scampers
Hush Little Baby
Hush little baby. Don't say a word.
Mama's going to buy you a mocking bird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat don't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark.
Mama's gonna to buy you and horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
Color Vegetable Garden
(By Jean Warren)
(Tune: 'Down By the Station')
Out in the garden early in the morning,
See the red tomatoes all in a row.
See the happy farmer coming out to pick them,
Pick, pick, pick, pick, off he goes!
Add other colors and names of fruits and vegetables!
(From 1001 Rhymes and Fingerplays by Totline)
(Tune: 'Row Your Boat')
Plant, plant, plant your seeds.
In a long straight row.
Attend them well with gentleness.
And watch them as they grow!
We Are Seeds
(Tune: 'Frere Jacques')
We are seeds. We are seeds.
In the ground. In the ground.
Waiting for the sun to shine on us.
And some rain, to come down!
We are growing. We are growing.
Up so tall. Up so tall.
Soon we will be flowers, pretty, pretty flowers.
In the garden. In the garden.
Planting Time
(From 1001 Rhymes and Fingerplays by Totline)
(Tune: 'Row Your Boat')
Dig, dig, in the ground. (Make digging movements.)
Plant seeds in a row. (Pretend to plant seeds.)
A gentle rain (Flutter fingers downward.)
And bright sunshine (Form a circle with your arms.)
Will help your flowers grow! (Squat down and gradually stand up.)
I'm a Little Sunflower
(Tune: 'I'm a Little Teapot')
I'm a little sunflower.
I'm so small.
(Sit on the ground.)
(Place hands on the ground next to you.)
(Place arms above head in the shape of a circle.)
And water make me tall.
(Flutter fingers and move hands downward to the ground.)
When I get all grown up,
(Sit up on knees.)
You will see.
(Stand with arms bent and touching waist.)
That I'm as big as I can be!
(Stand with arms raised high in the air.)

Using random color sets and blurs, cloud formations fade in and out of existence. Each time the site opens a new organization appears and can be regenerated endlessly by pressing the space bar. I've also set it up so that the user can modify the design, either by dragging the orbs around or by deleting them by pressing shift and clicking on them.

If anyone was ever to call a biscuit sexy, it would have to be a Robinhood Meetinghouse Double Chocolate Biscuit. Not too sweet, rich and buttery, Double Chocolate Biscuits are a biscuit to take home and fall in love with. And they'll treat you so well, complementing your tart raspberries, chocolate sauce and whipped cream like none other. Oh yes, baby it's Valentine's Day dessert time. Forget going out. These biscuits are a reason to stay IN. Call me crazy, but would it be so bad to have some chocolate sauce and whipped cream handy on Valentine's Day? This dessert could be the start of quite a lovely evening, in more ways than one.
- 6 Robinhood Meetinghouse Double Chocolate Biscuits
- 2 pts raspberries
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 pt whipping cream
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- Chocolate sauce
- Chocolate shavings
Coat raspberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and stir gently in a medium bowl. Set aside to macerate, ideally a few hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place frozen Robinhood Meetinghouse Double Chocolate Biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes until centers are no longer doughy. Let cool.
Whip cream with remaining sugar and vanilla to soft peaks.
Split biscuits and top with raspberries and their juices. Add a dollop of whipped cream, garnish plate with chocolate sauce and serve to the one you love. If you have leftover biscuits you could make Double Chocolate Biscuit Ice Cream Sandwiches tomorrow night.

5 Tips To Fit In A Workout While On Vacation
There's a very fine line between a run-cation and a vacation. A Run-Cation is a running inspired vacation-so traveling somewhere with intentions to run. A vacation is a trip with the sole intentions to relax, eat, (maybe drink) and adventure. Taking vacations can be wonderful but taking the time to run or get sweaty often falls by the wayside. It's all about balance because the last thing you want to do when you're on vacation is stress out about having to fit in a workout! That defeats the purpose of a vacation! But there's a major Pro to working out while you're on vacation…more guilt free eating and drinking! So here are some tips on how to fit those fun runs or hassle free workouts in when you're on vacation:
1. Go First Thing in the Morning.
Most people aren't confined to a strict itinerary, so even if you think you can squeeze a run in before dinner or after breakfast, if a fun opportunity arises you probably won't be working out. Lay a water bottle and your workout clothes out in the bathroom the night before. Set an alarm for an hour before you think anyone else will wake up, bounce out of bed, get dressed in the bathroom and get out the door. (Don't forget to bring your ID, some money and a room key.) Trick your brain before it realizes what is going on!
2. Trick Your Friends or Family Members!
While I was on vacation in Yosemite recently, I really wanted to go on a strenuous hike. I convinced a group of my family to "try" to hike to the top of Yosemite Falls (An over 7 mile extremely-strenuous hike with a 2700 foot elevation gain.) Half the group did the beginning of the hike and turned back after we took a break to eat and enjoy the view while 3 of us went on to do the entire thing. This got everyone involved to do something active at their own levels. But morning and sunset walks, bike riding, hiking, and swimming are all great substitutes if you can't find the time for a structured workout.
3. Run Hard!
If you only have a tiny window of time to get a workout in, run intervals. What does that mean? That means instead of running at a comfortable pace, you are running at set distance intervals at a very high intensity. It's a the best way to get the most bang for your buck! Here's two different high intensity interval runs:
1. Tempo Runs
2. Interval Runs
What's so special about tempo and interval runs? Well not only do they increase your lactate threshold and help you run faster, but you can get a serious workout in in just 20-40 minutes. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is where it's at!
4. Workout With a Local Group.
Social Media and The Interwebs have made it possible for you to workout with locals virtually anywhere. From group runs with companies like SIX:02, lululemon, Nike, or Lole to boutique gym chains like FlyWheel or SoulCycle -there are virtually no excuses. Many gyms even offer introductory trial periods or deals. When I know I am going somewhere, I tweet out if anyone knows any fun routes for me to try. Sometimes I get lucky and someone recommends a race that is taking place during my vacation. Running with a local group is a great way not to get lost and to get active with trustworthy, fun and interesting people.
5. Don't Sweat It.
So a few days pass that you don't run or workout. The world isn't going to end! Enjoy your trip and get back on track when you return. Your world shouldn't revolve around working out, it should only enhanced with it.
Do you have any tips to fit working out in while you travel? Tweet them to me at @KellyKKRoberts or leave them in the comments below. Until next time, #RunSelfieRepeat.

I came across this a while back, and I have to say that it is impressive you put up imustmakethisfilm.com to share with everyone your writing and film debut.
I am studying filmmaking in general, including scriptwriting. It looks as if your ideas are quite diverse, dense, and expansive. The hardest part I see is keeping up with the revising changes once you were done with the first draft.
It is very interesting about some of the things that were brewing out of your mind, including the discovery that you could not include a Japanese actor and instead opted for a 30-year-old sci-fi junkie.
To me, it appears that once I have penned a script, the expectations to film the film as expected would be quite... at odds with what life could throw at a writer and/or director.
Thanks for putting up imustmakethisfilm. I did have a nagging idea, and thought about putting up imustmakethisfilmtoo but then again, it'd have copyright issues.
Thanks for this...

Chandon Vintage Brut 2015 is expertly crafted over four years inspiring new memories from our backyard to yours.
In 2015 we made the decision to make our Vintage Brut wine exclusively from our estate vineyards in Strathbogie, Whitlands and Coldstream. Having full control over all the finer details of our vineyards, block by block, row by row, gives us the precision and best expression of Australian sparkling wine grapes.
We've popped the cork on our new cellar door, with a contemporary redesign creating a brand-immersion space across our dining, tasting and retail spaces.
Our newly refurbished cellar door pays homage to our French heritage, while accentuating the natural wonder of our Yarra Valley location.
Dream big
Don't be fooled by its size, this 'petit' bottle is big on surprise and delight. Introducing Le Petit Chandon: a rare, non-vintage, dessert style wine, brightened by the effervescence of bubbles.
Translating as "The Little Chandon," Le Petit Chandon is an elegant balance of sweetness and aged complexity – perfect for a dinner party finale or thoughtful gift idea!

0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
In Australia Sony are still selling the A6000. As Charles says, the A6300 is a later model so the prices of new A6000's are very reasonable. I would be a good way to go if the A6300 is too expensive for you at the moment...john
Charls the a6000 is not replaced or discontinue by a6300

Liberty win home opener but not satisfied
- Updated: May 14, 2017
May 13th 2017
Liberty 73 Stars 64
"The Good the Bad and the Ugly"
The good, it's the beginning of the 2017 WNBA regular season and the New York Liberty got to open the season at home in front of their loyal supporters. The weather was somewhat unforgiving outside as the metropolitan area was dealing with some very wet and windy conditions however that didn't stop the Liberty faithful from coming out to Madison Square Garden.
The Liberty got the win today despite playing a game, which Coach Laimbeer described as awful. The home opener is always important and to get a win on the first time out is always good for the team's morale and for the morale of the fans.
Epiphanny Prince played a solid game, she struggled a little in the second half but overall she showed why it is important to have veterans who are savvy on the roster. She played aggressively and created a nice pace early for the Liberty.
After 4 seasons in Washington Kia Vaughn made her return to the Liberty and played very well. She also brought some veteran toughness to the second unit. Coach Laimbeer praised her efforts and said that they could have gotten her the ball more often in the post. She finished with 7-points and 3 rebounds off the bench. Cierra Burdick also contributed off the bench with 10-points in 17 minutes of action.
Now to the bad, the Liberty led this game by 18 at one point but let the short handed Stars back into the game late. The Stars were without their rookie star Kelsey Plum who was out with an ankle injury and Moriah Jefferson. Monique Currie had 23-points off the bench for the Stars. Coach Laimbeer stated that "she caught us off-guard" because she usually is not that aggressive offensively.
"We didn't execute the way we were supposed to.." Coach Laimbeer
Despite the home opening win Coach Laimbeer was not happy throughout and after the game. He had a fiery postgame press conference where he eluded to the blown lead and what he described as a poor overall performance. He felt that the second unit should have extended the lead, he was not pleased with having to reinsert Tina Charles back into the game late, especially since she had been sitting for some time with the team having a big lead. He also felt that there was too much one on one play and too many missed free throws.
The ugly was the fact that the Stars were not at full strength and the Liberty did not capitalize on the opportunity to show that they can do the little things needed to compete for a championship. As coach Laimbeer said "We play like this against Minnesota (Thursday) we're down by 30 FACTS!" He is going to have 3 days of tough practices, as he was not happy with the team's performance.
Let's get back to some good however, even with a poor performance the team showed that they have enough depth on the roster where they can pull out victories in ugly games like this. Every game may not be perfect but if they can get wins I think it will benefit them in the long run.
There were a few former Knicks in attendance to support the ladies, John Starks, Larry Johnson and Latrell Sprewell sat courtside cheering on the home team.
They have a good measuring stick coming up early in the season as they face off against the Lynx on Thursday (May 18th). As per Tina Charles they will use these next 3 days to get better.
Thank You for reading
Stay tuned in as we cover the Liberty all season.

Remember when paperback books were short? This one clocks in at 96 pages, though since the text begins on page 5, that makes it even shorter. You have to take into account, however, that at this time (1960) the folks at Avon books was apparently experimenting to see just how small they could make the type before readers marched on their offices with torches and pitchforks.
Just by looking at the cover and the author's name, you've probably already figured out that Angel is anything but. She's the wife of Nick Gavin's best friend, Fred, and Fred has just been shot to death. The cops find Nick in the front yard with the murder weapon in his hand. He's not arrested, so he starts to try to figure out what's going on. He's only in town because Fred wrote him and asked him to come, and he knows something's up.
The night after Fred's death, Nick visits Angel, who's definitely not grieving. Before long, well, you know what happens. You'll also figure out what's going on long before Nick does because he clearly hasn't read enough Gil Brewer books. It doesn't really matter that you're ahead of him, however. The book is a blazing fast read, and Brewer manages to throw in several little twists before the end. It's worth having for the cover alone, though not at the prices I've seen on the 'Net. Check it out if you already have a copy in your library.

Surprisingly, I realised I hadn't really been in front of the camera for some time, so when Charlotte (RavenBlakh Photography) contacted me regarding a new shoot, I thought it was a good time to remedy this!
I had worked with her before, so I already knew she is talented! I find that I don't often model for others mostly because I don't think many photographers have a style that works well for me. I look for photographers with a distinct voice, which will work with my styling rather than just flat images where my styling pulls the image along.
This shoot was based on the theme of mourning, which instantly made me think of Amore de Mori's beautiful Memento Mori collection. I had a few pieces still with me after shooting the product shots for them:
Check out the rest at the Once boutique. I absolutely love this collection - I find Victorian Post-mortem photography fascinating and beautiful. Considering the amount of work, detail and originality of these pieces, I think they are more than worth the price. Perfect present for those with a bit of a morbid sense of humour ;)
I also had the pleasure of borrowing a beautiful black corset and neck corset from Boom! Boom! Baby! who's work I've also shot years and years ago! Her corsets are an absolute work of art, and this one was in a beautiful thick leather. I love the shape that neck corsets create, which I think worked especially well for a slightly Victorian-esque shape.
The other parts of the outfit were pulled together from various bits and pieces from my wardrobe, including a bra from Playful Promises and a Kiss Me Deadly suspender belt. I put the wig together a few nights before, making poor Mr. Phrenology head into a drag queen.
And now, onto the results!

I'm so pleased with these images! There are even more amazing shots that you can see here!

A La Mode Shoppe Supports The Teal Pumpkin Project!
Our manager Lisamarie Parks here at a la mode shoppe shared this wonderful sentiment.
We wanted to share it with you.
No I don't have a peanut/tree nut allergy.
No I don't have any kids.
No I won't even be home to give out treats for Halloween.
No I'm not sure if it's normal to use wall paint on pumpkins.
My story is a little different.
I work in a nut free facility (that even offers dairy free options) and seeing the smiles and tears of happiness on both children and parents faces the moment they walk in and know that EVERYTHING is safe has made the last couple of months the best they have ever been in my life!
This year my goal is not only to bring awareness to the #tealpumpkinproject but food allergy awareness itself.
These little babies are my work in progress but something I can honestly hold my head up high about.
With every like and every question on social media in regards to this picture is one more person educated and that's the greatest "treat" this girl could ask for this Halloween!

In November 2006, Kumba Resources Limited unbundled and Kumba's coal and other assets merged with Eyesizwe Coal to create Exxaro Resources Limited. We have since grown to become one of the largest and foremost black-empowered coal and heavy mineral companies in South Africa, with other business interests around the world in Europe, the United States of America, and Australia. Our asset portfolio includes coal operations and investments in iron ore, pigment manufacturing, renewable energy (wind), and residual base metals.
Exxaro is a sum of all its smaller working parts. This is how our organisation is structured.
At Exxaro, our vision is as simple as this: we want to make a positive impact on the world. We aim to power better lives in Africa and beyond by responsibly investing in commodities that will sustain life on the continent.
This goal is being realised by supplying basic and primary needs, the things that keep us functioning as a society, through energy, water, and food. We manage to do all this through our primary commodity – coal – which we are using to fuel our future. Through our growth and innovation, we are working towards becoming an unstoppable source of endless possibilities.
We know none of this is possible without our people. Their imagination and passion is what constantly nourishes our journey to change the world for the better.
Exxaro encourages collaboration, commitment and creativity in an environment that promotes safety, health, and welfare – and where respect and equality are prerequisites. We know that our highly qualified workforce will become the industry leaders of tomorrow.
Transformation is a core focus of Exxaro – we develop our people and reward top performers.
We fully support transformation through economic empowerment ownership. We strongly believe the proposed replacement BEE transaction (announced in 2016) has a greater ability to create wealth through its reduced debt risk profile, which in turn contributes to sustainable empowerment.
Exxaro is lead by a team of Board of Directors, and an Executive Committee committed to driving success.
