Fitbit has announced its latest fitness-monitoring wrist gadget.
The Fitbit Force goes on sale in the US at the end of October, featuring some of the company's distinctive features as well as new additions.
Sporting an OLED display and rubberised design, the wearable tech can apparently last up to ten days on a single charge.
Other additions include the ability to provide more detailed tracking information that goes beyond dots representing steps on the screen.
Using its Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, it will be able to send incoming call notifications to the device when paired with an iPhone using iOS 7 - although the feature is still pending a firmware update.
Meanwhile, Android users can tap the NFC-enabled Force to a phone, which will launch the Fitbit app.
At $129.95 (£80) the fitness monitor is also able to keep an eye on the user's sleep and can be used as a silent alarm.

Traditional Living
Room Makeover
Week 4
This week we got a bunch of things marked off of our to-do list, so let's start by looking at that:
Remove wall Reroute electrical Patch sheetrock Patch flooring Install new ceiling lights Paint all trim
- Paint and install all doors
- Paint all walls
Paint ceiling
- Paint and install fireplace
- Install TV Mount
- Paint cradenza
- Furnish and decorate!
A big shout out to Chris and his parents this week – it's only because of their hard work and long hours that we were able to finish patching the sheet rock and flooring and get all of the trim painted!
First, let's look at the floors. Chris and his Dad used the box of left-over vinyl flooring the prior home-owners left after installing these floors to patch the section where we removed the wall. They started by removing about 3 rows around the row where the wall was and then carefully cut pieces to fill the gap and glued them in with carpet glue. Honestly, they did such a good job that I can't even tell where they patched it!
Check this out:
Can you spot where they patched the section where the wall was? I can't! 😉 They seriously look awesome.
Another major achievement this week was the sheetrock patching. My father-in-law had to float like 5 layers of mud in order to get it to sit flush with the existing wall before blowing texture. And with dry-time in between, it was a long process! But, he did a really nice job and after being painted you can't even tell they were patched.
Here's a few shots from the process:
These pictures really don't do the space justice now that the floor is continuous and the walls look uniform, the room feels huge. I can't wait to furnish it next week!
In regards to our concerns from last week – the paint looks great now that everything is painted (phew!), the furniture feet ended up looking FANTASTIC (a tutorial for that coming soon) and we made a big decision regarding the credenza. Originally we were trying to stain it to match her cherry wood coffee and side tables, but after much struggle, we decided to paint it RED! We've chosen a beautiful deep crimson color (shown below, although it looks much more red and less maroon in person) and I think it will be the perfect pop of color in a mostly neutral space. 🙂
As of now we've got it primed – and I learned you should prime with grey if painting red so that the paint doesn't end up looking pink!
A huge blessing from this week was the fact that we were able to sell their old sofa and loveseat! There is so much more space for working in the room now, which is really nice.
The fireplace is almost done too! It just needs one more coat of white and the black insert spruced up a bit. We're hoping to get it installed and the TV mounted above it this weekend!
Our last big achievement this week was getting all of the builder-grade floor, window and door trim painted. I'm seriously amazed at how much nicer a space can look with white trim. Even builder-grade trim looks extremely classy when it's a nice glossy white. So, I thought I'd include a simple tutorial for painting your builder grade trim in this week's post.
How to Paint Trim
Materials Needed:
- Stain-Blocking Primer
- Semi-Gloss Paint
- Paint Brush
- 4″ Roller with 1/4″ Nap Pad
- FrogTape Painter's Tape
- HANDy Paint Pail
Instructions for How to Paint Trim:
Step 1: Remove and Prep Floor Trim
If you're painting the floor trim, it's easiest to take it off the wall and paint it in the garage before re-installing it. Simply use a crowbar and hammer to separate it from the wall and gently pull it off. Be careful not to pull it too fast to avoid breaking it. Using a sharpie, number the back of the trim piece and the wall where it belongs so you know where to reinstall it.
After it's removed, use pliers to pull out any lingering nails and then sand it lightly with 220 grit sandpaper. You don't need to get it down to bare wood, you just want to scruff it up a bit.
Lastly, wipe it down with a rag to get all the dust off of it.
Step 2: Remove Doors and Prep Door Trim
Painting the door trim is much simpler if you remove the doors and hardware before starting. Using a drill or a screwdriver, remove the door by unscrewing the hinges.
Next, sand the floor trim gently with the same 220 grit sandpaper and then wipe away all the dust.
Using your FrogTape, tape off the flooring around the base of the door trim and the cut-outs for the hinges. You don't want paint to go in the hinge cut-outs, otherwise the hinges won't fit back in there after you're done.
Since we were going to paint the walls anyway, we didn't tape off the wall side of the trim. But, if you aren't planning to paint your walls, simply apply FrogTape on the wall all the way around the outside of your face trim.
Step 3: Prep the Window Trim
Begin by sanding down all the trim and wiping it clean. Then, simply apply FrogTape around on the windows to avoid getting paint on the window itself. Again, if you are NOT painting the walls around the windows, be sure to apply painter's tape on the wall around the outside of the trim too.
We also painted around their large sliding glass door, so like the windows, we taped all the way around the vinyl door as well as behind the handle.
Step 4: Paint!
We recommend applying 1-2 coats of stain-blocking primer (like Kilz 2) and then 2 coats of paint.
Use your paintbrush to paint the corners and small outside parts of the trim and then roll the large surfaces with your 4″ roller.
One of our sponsors this season is HANDy Paint Products and they make some awesome trays and pails for painting. For painting the trim, we used the one called the "HANDy Pro Pail" and it has a magnet on the side for your brush (so you don't have to find somewhere to set it down while you're rolling) and a side designed for prepping your roller with paint – seriously, it's amazing! Be sure to grab one before you tackle painting your trim, you won't regret it!
Here's a fun before/after shot of our builder-grade trim after 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of paint:
Crazy difference, right?
Step 5: Remove Tape and Reinstall Floor Trim and Doors
After all of the trim is painted, go through and use a box knife to cut along the seam between the painter's tape and the trim. If you skip this step, your paint may pull off along with the tape… no fun! Once the seam is cut, pull off all of your FrogTape and caulk the seams between the trim and windows.
Lastly, reinstall your floor trim using a nail gun and your doors with their hinges!
See, so easy! We did the same thing with all of our builder-grade trim in our first house too. It's a really affordable way to update and spruce up a space without the hassle and cost of replacing all the trim. I hope this tutorial for how to paint trim is helpful – I'd highly encourage you to give it a try if you're looking for a low-cost update and a brighter space!
Of course, a big thank you to FrogTape, our official sponsor this season! Their tape is PERFECT for painting trim, so make sure you grab some for your trim painting project!
This week our big goals are painting and installing all the doors, a DIY flat door update on the garage door, and finishing all of the wall/ceiling painting. It would be AWESOME if we could get the fireplace and TV installed too so my mother-in-law and I could start decorating early next week. Then photos the next weekend and a reveal post shortly after! Going to be so great!
Don't forget to follow my Instagram stories for real time updates throughout the week, including a LIVE tour on Monday nights at 6:15pm Pacific! 🙂 Now head over and take a look at all the featured designers and other guest participants too. 🙂

Hi Everyone,
This week I want to call your attention to an important bill for our District. As you know, there has been a lot of conversation lately about both the presence and the increase of rail cars carrying crude oil through our area. Recognizing this, Senator Betsy Johnson and I, along with several similarly minded colleagues, co-sponsored HJM 201A, urging Congress to enhance rail car safety. We are calling for stronger safety standards for all rail cars transporting flammable liquids, including crude, and cars that can't be retrofitted should be phased out.
There have been a lot of questions as to what we can do at the local and state level to regulate rail traffic and the answer is: not much. Freight rail activity is overseen at the federal level by the US Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Regional offices are responsible for administering and inspecting assigned safety programs and evaluating performance.
In spite of the lack of local control, I am pleased to report that the US DOT issued an Emergency Order on Tuesday, requiring stricter standards to transport crude oil by rail. Effective immediately, those who offer crude oil for transportation by rail must ensure that the product is properly tested and classified in accordance with federal safety regulations. The Emergency Order also requires that all Class III crude oil shipments be designated as Packing Group I or II, thereby requiring the use of a more robust tank car. Packing Group III, a lower risk designation, will not be accepted, until further notice. This should go a long ways toward addressing many of the concerns voiced by those communities most impacted by rail traffic.
In advance of this Emergency Order, railroad owner/operators were already stepping up safety measures. In the past few weeks an agreement was drafted between the Association of American Railroads and the US DOT to adopt wide-ranging safety measures and thousands of strengthened tank cars have been ordered. In our district, and all along the lower Columbia, rail is operated by Portland & Western Railroad, and they have committed to rail safety and the prosperity of our region.
In Oregon, ODOT's Rail Division is doing their part by continuing to inspect tracks, hazardous materials and operating practices. Although they are not authorized to set policy, as the agent for the FRA they are the boots-on-the-ground inspectors who make sure safe practices are being followed.
Finally, I must believe that the passage of HJM 201, along with all of the other states that passed similar legislation, made a difference. There is strength in numbers. My office will continue to monitor the situation to make sure that the transport of hazardous materials receives the diligent inspection that it deserves and that the safety of my constituents and their communities remains at the forefront of rail commerce in District 31 and throughout our state.
Bills of Interest…
SB 1541: Reinstates the tax credit to farmers for donations to children, the homeless, unemployed, elderly or low-income individuals.HB 4055: Includes prepaid cell phones in the funding stream for 911 beginning in October 2015.SB 1577A: Establishes the "Silver Alert" program, a public notification system to broadcast information on missing persons, primarily seniors with Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, or other mental disabilities, in order to aid in their return.SB 1563: Increases the cap on entrepreneurial development loans from $70,000 to $100,000, and extends the loan period from five to ten years.

After record-breaking grosses through April, 2010 hit a wall in May, which turned out to be one of the weakest starts to a summer movie season in recent years.
Overall business came in at $905 million, which was down 11 percent from May 2009 and nearly five percent from May 2008. May 2010 ranked as the seventh highest-grossing May on record, following the all-time highest-grossing January, March and April as well as the second-highest February earlier this year.
But May 2010 traffic was even slower than the gross suggested. With an estimated 110 million tickets sold, last month was the least-attended May since 2001, and ticket sales were off 19 percent from May 2009 and nearly as much from May 2008 and 2007. To be fair, though, May 2009 squeezed five complete weekends into the calendar month, giving it a slight advantage over May 2010. However, May 2010 was down nearly 24 percent from May 2004, the last time the dates and days of the week had the same alignment.
Now, not every month is going to be a record breaker nor has to be in order to be bustling or solid, but May 2010's drop-off was so steep and its estimated attendance so far below the norm of the past eight years that it was alarming. The upshot is a reaffirmation that the box office is product-driven for the most part. That's a positive sign: many people rejected or were indifferent to the current crop of movies, and that can be remedied in the future through the production of more compelling fare.
With lackluster movies and marketing campaigns, it was as if Hollywood rested on its laurels and took the audience for granted in May (the recent writers' strike has received some blame for the slate, but that still doesn't explain the poor marketing, and there still were big movies). Iron Man 2 held the most promise from the outset, given how well received the first movie was, but it has behaved like a normal sequel instead of taking off like a Dark Knight or Pirates of the Caribbean. It was by far the top draw of the month with $279.7 million, but it sputtered out rapidly. It didn't fly higher because it didn't up the ante, and the advertising lazily just announced that Iron Man was back with more of the same, instead of actually selling the new movie.
The same criticism can be leveled at Shrek Forever After, which was already at a disadvantage to begin with after the reception to Shrek the Third, and Sex and the City 2, which was also at a disadvantage given how relationship comedy sequels tend to play, while Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time's advertising lacked clarity and pushed the release date before convincing people to see the movie in the first place. Robin Hood took a more consistent approach, coming off as the long-awaited follow-up to Gladiator, and it had the best performance relative to its genre, though it was far from a blockbuster.
May 2010 was essentially a rerun of past Mays: there was Iron Man and Sex and the City from 2008, Shrek from 2007, 2004 and 2001, a historical battle epic (Robin Hood) like in 2005, 2004 and 2000, and a supernatural adventure (Prince of Persia) like in 2008, 2007, etc. Hollywood is mostly about sequels, adaptations, remakes and bandwagons, encouraged by audiences frequently lapping those up, but May's releases rotely repeated things with waning interest or little interest in the first place.
When the movies are so unappealing, grumbles over ticket prices and other moviegoing headaches seem to resonate louder than they normally would. Recent, significant ticket price hikes (especially for 3D) have raised concerns about the movies being too expensive for a lot of people. It's too early to tell if that's an actual epidemic, but the constant upward trajectory of ticket prices hasn't stopped records from falling in the past.
After Iron Man 2, Shrek Forever After was the second-biggest grosser with $146.8 million, followed by Robin Hood with $86.1 million, Sex and the City 2 with $51 million and holdover A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) with $46.2 million. Holdovers (movies that opened before May) accounted for 25 percent of May's business, compared to a 16.5 percent share in May 2009.
Through the end of May, 2010 as a whole stood at $4.3 billion. This was still the biggest January-May gross ever ahead of 2009's $4.14 billion through the same point. However, attendance was down more than five percent. Avatar remains the top-grossing picture of the calendar year with $465.4 million, followed by Alice in Wonderland (2010) with $333.2 million and Iron Man 2.

Love And Relationships
May 23, 2010 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
I had dinner with my sister in law last night and we talked about relationships. She said she's been watching a number of documentaries and the question that was being discussed in them was, are humans really meant to be monogamous.
I told her I didn't know the answer to that but what I did know is that in relationships you are always making choices and decisions.
I talked about Chris. When I got together with him I knew we would be together until one of us died. I didn't know it was going to happen so fast. Both Chris and I had had enough relationships to know we had something special. Does that mean in the years we were together he didn't feel attracted to another woman?

Best Mini Portable Small Washing Machine Laundry Clothes Washer Spin Dryer Unit Set
Portable washing machines and dryers can never be a substitute for the full service machines. Nevertheless, it is quite difficult to place these big machines in the apartments. Moreover, if you are living in a rented apartment, and need to move out after a certain period, such bulky machines can be a liability. However, the portable ones are not always an inferior substitute for the bulky machines. There are times and situations when portability becomes an important aspect. If you have a baby or are going on camping for a week or more such portable washing machines and dryers can be very useful. In fact at such times and situations a bulky full service washing machine is of no use at all.

Who said that as we advanced in technology, we should not advance in the laundry sector as well? The introduction of washing machines back in the 60s revolutionized how we did our laundry. Today, laundry machines are much smaller, more efficient and the best part of it all does your laundry effectively.Mini Portable Small Washing Machine Laundry Clothes Washer Spin Dryer Unit Set

Aussie students have flooded to the Surfers Paradise resort and Gold Coast, in Queensland, to booze-fuelled carnage celebrations – known as "schoolies".
The celebrations have already seen mass brawls and 71 arrests over drug-related and other charges.
But now the partying teens have become the focus of the local sex industry.
The Pentagon Grand – a legal brothel – has begun advertising their services on the social media using this year's schoolies hashtag.
In an Instagram post, the Pentagon Grand advertised their private pick up and drop off service with the hashtag #schoolies2016 and #schoolies.
While another post featuring a picture of woman in a red bra and fishnet stockings was captioned with "Sunday isn't over yet. Call now."
Sex workers have also reportedly set up themselves up in high-rise apartments to make it more convenient for interested "schoolies" males, according to a local accommodation manager.
Local Asian massage parlours in the Gold Coast area have been spotted advertising "happy endings".
Speaking about their schoolies services a Pentagon Grand spokesman said: "In general on Friday and Saturday we have a driver available to pick up clients.
"But the difference during schoolies time is our driver will check their ID before they get into the car.
"The thing with Queensland schoolies is they are mostly under 18.
"The ones from New South Wales are a little different.
"We will encourage them definitely, and they're usually well behaved because they're about to have some fun."
A source from emergency services, added: "There have been boat cruises up the Broadwater with strippers.
"The reality is the sex industry is just that widespread it's unbelievable."

C. Jesus always encouraged people
D. Sometimes He had to be straight up with them, but they knew he loved them, and wanted the best for them
E. I want to do two things tonight
1. Look at some people who are appreciated in the Bible
2. And then try and make sure as many of you possible are appreciated
F. Obviously, this is in addition to appreciating God Himself – that's what a full 30% of the Bible is all about – making sure we praise, and thank God for His goodness
II. Message - Appreciation

Thank you to Restless Digital and Ashley Osborn for letting me take photos for these guys. This is the second time shooting Sum 41 and they were just as amazing as last time. Lots of focus and love for what they do. This is also the fifth time seeing and fourth time taking photos of Emarosa and as always, you can tell that they love doing what they do. With such high energy and fun antics, it's hard NOT to get a good passionate photo from them. Unfortunately was too late to the show due to some difficulties to shoot Chapel, but I hope to shoot them next time at Indy.

In an effort to attract more developers into using its open source Qt framework for Symbian and MeeGo, Nokia will host a series of "code camps" and device seeing programs over the next six months. A MeeGo tablet interface, however, may not surface for some time yet.
Nokia is standardising its development ecosystem around Qt, which is acquired when it bought TrollTech in 2008.
Nokia has ported Qt to Symbian and is the basis for apps on the new MeeGo mobile platform.
Head of developer relations for Nokia in the Asia Pacific region, Kenny Mathers, said the focus for developers should be the environment, not the operating system.
"By moving smartphone development to Qt developers can start building with Qt then the underlying operating system becomes irrelevant," Mathers said. "It can be Symbian or MeeGo and the app will work."
"We're saying start familiarising yourself with the Qt environment. If you build apps using this they will work on any device because the app and services layer will be built in Qt."
Mathers said Trolltech continues to operate as an independent business and with Android and iPhone ports of Qt in the works it "gives a lot of cross-platform compatibility".
"We also have smart installer for legacy devices – about 18 devices – so anything from S60 3.2 onwards supports Qt," he said.
The new developer program within Nokia is aiming to reach out to more developers and attract developers to its ecosystem, including the Ovi app store.
"We're putting resources at a local level with developer outreach facilities in Australia," Mathers said. "To give developers the opportunity to work on Qt and over next six months we will do a series of code camps where we fly in Qt experts from over world to train local developers and built Qt apps over two to three day period."
Other activities will include device seeding, and marketing programs to promote applications on Ovi.
Nokia also wants to start a partner program with local universities to get Qt as part of the mobile app development ecosystem.
MeeGo and Symbian stand equal
The collaboration between Nokia and Intel – and more recently AMD – around the open source MeeGo platform has attracted a lot of developer attention, says Mathers, and is now treated as an equal to Symbian for future devices.
"There is a lot on interest in MeeGo and we are trying to be as clear as possible with developers that it is a 2011 product release," he said.
"There were also big changes for the Symbian roadmap. Symbian was being termed 'version 4.0' and from a consumer perspective that was great with new UI changes, but from a developer perspective it was a challenge because it would have introduced a binary break for Symbian 3 devices."
The direction to move all development activities to Qt, Nokia took opportunity to remove the need for an upgrade to a Symbian 4 platform as the UI element will be delivered via Qt, Mathers said.
However he is confident Symbian as a platform will continue to evolve.
"If you look at the people that are developing Meego initiative its collaboration between Intel and Nokia and AMD you can see the aspirations for MeeGo extend way beyond mobile devices," he said. "Intel has heritage in PCs and netbooks and that may include tablets as well."
Mathers expects the MeeGo ecosystem to extend into tablets, but said it is difficult to put a timeframe for the release of a MeeGo tablet interface.
The latest MeeGo release, version 1.1, included an interface for handsets, but not tablet PCs. That hasn't stopped rumours flying around about Nokia and other manufacturers working on a MeeGo-based tablet PC like the WeTab from Germany.
"We are investing in MeeGo as a platform for enabling devices in the mobile computing segment. I can't say what other pc or tablet manufacturers are looking at tablets," he said. "But, obviously it's an area of growing interest."
Mathers said Nokia wants to reduce the cost and complexity of its developer tools and has reduce the number of SDKs from 15 to two (Java and Qt) over the past few years.
The Ovi store not yet supported on the MeeGo handset release, but it will come pre-loaded with Nokia's first MeeGo-based devices in 2011.

Closing the Health Equity Gap for Mothers and Babies
On January 23rd, PHAC Acting Director for the Centre for Health Promotion, Marla Israel, and Dr. Nazeem Muhajarine, Professor and Department Head at the University of Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit (SPHERU) hosted a Fireside Chat to discuss the recent quantitative evaluation of CPNP programs conducted by SPHERU and entitled Understanding the impact of the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program that was published in the September 2012 edition of the Canadian Journal of Public Health.
The research project set out to answer 2 primary and 2 secondary questions:
- Are higher levels of program exposure* related to more positive changes in personal health practices among CPNP clients?
- Are higher levels of program exposure related to better birth outcomes among CPNP clients?
a) Is receiving particular CPNP services related to health practices and birth outcomes?
b) Does the impact of the CPNP on birth outcomes vary across different subgroups of clients?
*Program exposure was defined as a combination of how early into a pregnancy the participant joined the CPNP program, how often they participated in the program, and number of overall weeks they were involved with the program.
Health practices were defined as:
- Weight gain in pregnancy relative to recommended weight gain
- Increased use of vitamin/mineral supplements
- Smoking cessation
- Smoking reduction
- Quitting drinking alcohol
- Breastfeeding initiation
- Breastfeeding duration
Birth outcomes were defined as:
- Pre-term birth (defined as gestational age of less than 37 weeks)
- Low birth weight (birth weight of less than 2500g)
- Small for gestational age
- Large for gestational age
- Poor neonatal health
The study recognized that women receive a broad range of services from CPNP programs, including food supplements, dietary assessment, one-on-one nutrition education/counselling, group nutrition counselling, lifestyle education/counselling, and a range of other services.
In terms of population sub-groups, the study examined a range of sociodemographic risk indicators including:
- Younger than 19 years of age or older than 34 years of age
- Having lived in Canada for less than 10 years
- Aboriginal ancestry
- Single, widowed, divorced or separated
- No high school diploma
- Monthly household income of less than $1,900
- Food insecurity
Pregnancy-related risk indicators were also examined:
- History of miscarriages
- History of stillbirths
- History of low birth weight infant(s)
- Consulted a doctor/midwife/nurse/practitioner since being pregnant
- Interval between births
- BMI and weight gain during pregnancy
#1 CPNP exposure and health practice in pregnancy
The study found that overall, greater CPNP exposure was related to healthier behaviour during pregnancy, except for gaining more than the recommended amount of weight. Specifically, CPNP program participants were more likely to:
- Increase the use of vitamin supplements
- Cut down on the number of cigarettes smoked
- Quit drinking alcohol
- Initiate breastfeeding
- Breastfeed their infants longer (4 times more likely)
#2 CPNP services and health practices
This study found that group nutrition counselling and one-on-one nutrition education/counselling had the greatest impact on program participants.
#3 CPNP exposure and birth outcomes
Initiating contact earlier in a pregnancy, having greater contact with a CPNP program and remaining enrolled longer in the program were all associated with a lower likelihood of:
- Pre-term birth
- Low birth rate
- Having a small for gestational age infant
- Poor neonatal health
#4 CPNP services and birth outcomes
Group nutritional counselling was the only service consistently positively related to lower risk of preterm birth, low birth weight and poor neonatal health.
#5 CPNP exposure and large for gestational age babies
The study noted that increased exposure to a CPNP program was also linked to large for gestational age birth outcomes. This potential link is something the study recommends for further examination.
#6 CPNP effects on subgroups of clients
No great differences across sociodemographic groups were found. Slightly more and/or stronger relationships were found for:
- Married vs single participants
- Recent immigrants vs those who have been in Canada for more than 10 years
- Participants who had not completed high school and those who had
- Participants with food security concerns vs those without these concerns
In conclusion, it was found that CPNP programs across Canada:
- Had a demonstrable positive impact on reducing unhealthy practices during pregnancy.
- Had a demonstrable positive impact on reducing risk of poor birth outcomes.
- Had a demonstrable strong positive impact on breastfeeding initiation and duration of breastfeeding.
- Had a great impact when offering group counselling services.
- Impact clients from a wide range of sociodemographic backgrounds in similar ways.
- May be associated with excess weight gain and large for gestational babies.

You may ask what Cinzia is doing with the can of pineapple???
Well they did in the kitchen too.
You might just be able to see some poor tiny squashed hexies poking out
from underneath the edge of the can.
I think they are 1/4" ????
Rhonda doing some larger hexies - Cinzia grabbed the scraps!
Everyone busy - not sure what Lorraine was stitching.
Great she was well enough to come along and stitch with us.
Sorry you're 'out of focus'
Margaret wasn't well and RAB was baby sitting.....
Others were busy elsewhere - we missed you.

Our a retreat at Coolangatta Estate April 2014 ....
It began at Sew and Tell at Berry followed by lunch at the Berry Pub with Curried sausages and Mash and an Alpaca Burger - yummo.
Then we headed en convoy out to Coolangatta to begin our adventure what a pretty spot.
This is the view from our 'work room' and my bedroom Lodge 34 on Saturday morning.
We rearranged the furniture and started sewing ... These are the hand sewers.
Yummo brekkie ...... Kept us satisfied until lunchtime.
The machine sewing area.
Robyn, Steph and Helen brought their machines and had a pretty productive weekend.
While Cinzia joined us for the afternoon and cut 400 hexagons for the project she is working on at the moment.
Here are the sewers again .....
And One of Robyn's quilt tops completed ..... noice!
As you can see it was a very companionable interactive sharing time together!
Especially when we discovered the password for the Coolangatta Wi Fi network.
And we had just a few knibblies!
We woke to a beautiful rainbow after an extra hour in bed on Sunday morning...
The panoramic version ....
Another of Robyn's quilts made from a bright layer cake - noice again!
She actually found time to sew around watching the Rabbitos thrashing the Dragons on Saturday night!
Fun photo ....
Lee McCarron who called in after a visit to Berry markets came in handy as resident photographer after breakfast on Sunday.
Thanks Leelee.
Here we are being sensible.
Note Rhondas lovely quilt in the background.
She made great use of her enforced inactivity when she was recovering from her ankle surgery.
A great weekend was had by all - it went so quickly.
Now we are planning for our 2015 retreat at Billow View in Gerringong.

Number Two - the Lodges
This is the car park at the rear of the three lodges.
The view from the car park - noicem
If you pull up the map you'll get an idea of the layout.
From the lodges - see that white railing down there?
You walk down there and up past the tennis court and along by the
old buildings to the restaurant.
First lodge (36) I think.If you pull up the image you'll see the yellow building in the distance.

August GTG at OFBC
It was great to catch up with Lorraine this month.
Isn't she looking great after her surgery?
AND - was she surprised??? I reckon!
We are glad you like it Lorraine - think of your SCQIllawarra mates
(as we'll be thinking of you) when you wrap up in your quilt.
Robyn W has been busy .....
Stephanie actually put together her first SCQ Retreat Siggy quilt
from Tassie in 2000.
And Joan found a hexagon one that was almost finished.
And here's my grandson Harry with his flannel 9FQ S&S quilt
inspired by Lorraine's demo last month - he loves it.
More hexagons - are they all Cinzia's patterns?
Can't remember ... I'll update the details when someone tells me.

In his eighteenth chronicle Brother Cadfael, on an apparently simple errand for his bishop, becomes embroiled in the violent conflict between two Gwynedd brothers.
In the summer of 1144, a strange calm has settled over England. The armies of King Stephen and Empress Maud have temporarily exhausted each other. Brother Cadfael considers peace a blessing, but a little excitement never comes amiss to a former soldier and Cadfael is delighted to accompany his young friend, Brother Mark, on a mission of church diplomacy to his native Wales, not expecting to be caught up in yet another royal feud. The Welsh prince Owain Gwynedd has banished his brother Cadwaladr, accusing him of the treacherous murder of an ally. The reckless Cadwaldr has retaliated by landing an army of Danish mercenaries, poised to invade Wales and retake his lost lands. As the two armies teeter on the brink of bloody civil war, Cadfael is captured by the Danes together with a headstrong young woman fleeing an arranged marriage, but before he can untangle such domestic passions, Cadfael has to survive the brotherly quarrel that could plunge an entire kingdom into deadly chaos.

Books on the Run/
I only listened to music when I first started running in 2014. I know I was listening to podcasts (something I've been doing during the workday for years) but for some reason I gravitated towards music. Maybe it was because I was doing Couch to 5K and music was more interruptible than podcasts. Maybe it was because I didn't have as many podcasts to listen to as I do now (currently listening to over 50 podcasts a week). The world may never know because I don't remember. But this post isn't about listening to music or what I did back when I started running. It's about what I'm doing now.
And now, unless it's an interval workout day where I sing along to the Hamilton soundtrack as much as I can, I listen to audiobooks. And free audiobooks at that, I don't have an Audible subscription. Instead, I get them through my library via an app called "OneClickdigital". It works exactly the same as getting a "real" book from the library, except I go onto the app to check it out (or put it on hold) and it automatically gets returned when the loan expires. Good sometimes (I don't have to remember when it's due and press a return button) but if I wasn't finished I have to go through the process again.
I really enjoy the continuity of picking up where I left off from my last run with audiobooks, unlike podcasts where I can go through a couple of them on a single run spending on their length. And they offer a great escape during my run since I get caught up in the story (but not so much that I risk getting run over by a car).
Currently, I'm listening to Three Sisters, Three Queens by Philippa Gregory. I've found I'm more likely to work my way through a series via audiobook than one-off books (I've been listening to Gregory's series and also the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon). I find myself drawn back to them again and again, probably because I know I've enjoyed past books.
One last part to this ramble on why I save music for interval runs and races is that listening to audiobooks is getting me to actually finish books. I've always been a huge reader but lately I've found myself not really reading a whole lot. Between work, running and being social, there just isn't a lot of time for reading. So, running is doing double duty for me (and I'm hoping to make it through at least 12 books this year thanks to it) by getting me out and finishing books.
My plan through marathon training is to continue to listen to audiobooks for most of my runs (aka work my way through a couple of books in the Outlander series). I might listen to music on my pace runs but, considering my marathon pace is going to be 11 minute miles, I don't know if I'll need that extra motivation music brings me for speed. That's just not what my next training cycle will be about since I'm training for a new distance.
What do you listen to on your runs? Or, are you someone who runs and just listens to the sounds around you?

News recap | Nearly 9 in 10 say Rochester is headed in the right direction
Eighty-seven percent of people living in Rochester feel like the city is headed in the right direction.
That's according to a new poll from the Morris Leatherman Company.
The firm surveyed 400 people in Rochester at random between May and June. The city also scored high marks for schools, public safety and its parks and trails.
However, the survey did indicate public concerns over property taxes and affordable housing.
Six in 10 felt there are too few of affordable housing units in the city for rent.

What's the Edge of Functional Medicine than Traditional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a new way to check over your health condition that might actually help you out. It is using a different model and approach to prevent and manage chronic and complex illness. This is more focused on how to treat the person instead of concentrating on cluster of symptoms.
Doctors in functional medicine are spending great amount of time with their patients. They work together as a team and talking not just the medical symptoms felt but the exercise patterns, traumas, diet, lifestyle as well as exposure to toxins. Next, they make collaboration to be able to address underlying causes of the disease. Actually, this includes searching for various factors that may potentially affect the bodily function of patient including genetic makeup, lifestyle choices similar to activities, diet and stress as well as environmental influences.
You need to know that diseases might have several imbalances that ought to be treated. Let me give you an example, obesity may just be the result of imbalance inflammation, gut flora, hormones, genetics, exercise or exposure to environmental toxins and diet. At the same time, one imbalance like inflammation may open other health conditions too. Functional medicine studies the complexities of these conditions and symptoms and have strong belief that it is the key to restore balance in health.
Does it ever happened to you when you are taking medication and it is only partially helping you or worse causing adverse reactions or perhaps, you've gone to a doctor, was treated and still feel sick? This is exactly what must be taken into mind when trying functional medicine as per Dr. Hyman. Patients most especially those with broad varieties of conditions can make the most of functional medicine approach similar to:

Oh, the bunting.
A year ago I went to a reading at a local coffee shop and got really distracted by the bunting that hung from one end of the ceiling to the other. I felt like a baby staring up at one of those mobiles above their crib. I wasn't listening to the reader, I was just staring at the ceiling watching the little flags cast shadows on the wall. I complimented the owner on my way out.
"I love the streamers!' I said, pointing.
"Oh yes! The bunting," she said. "We put it up at our grand opening and then liked it so much we never took it down."
Aha…that's what it's called – bunting.
I became obsessed with the idea of bunting. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I wanted to make my own. I thought it would be the perfect use for all those bits of fabric I'd been collecting in a plastic comforter bag in my tiny bedroom closet. I had old skirts that didn't fit me anymore and batik dresses that were ripped and discount curtains I'd bought from Ikea. Finally, I could put those to good use instead of having them hanging around, taking up space. I'd cut them up and sew them to a ribbon and stream them across the ceiling of my bedroom. I could train my houseplants to grow over and around them. Pretty soon I'd be living in a jungle paradise!
I started talking to people about my plan. But I soon discovered that when you start talking to people about bunting, you find that no one knows what bunting is. And when you explain what bunting is, no one is nearly as excited as you are about the bunting.
And then I thought I could also use the bunting for decoration at the birthday party I was throwing myself that June. The birthday party was going to be a garage sale/fundraiser for my trip to Rome. I asked for donations from my friends for things to sell at the garage sale. But I'd also clean out my own garage. It was full of a bunch of stuff I wasn't using or didn't have space for. Two birds with one stone.
I went to a fabric store and bought more fabric for the project and hired my sisters to help me cut out over fifty triangles of fabric. Then I went to my other sister's house and she showed me how to sew them onto ribbon with her sewing machine.
The bunting looked awesome.
Before the party, I'd put the rest of the bunting up in my room, but I wasn't sure how I felt about it. My roommate told me she thought it might be a fire hazard. "Maybe don't burn any candles in your room now," she said.
On the day of my party, I'd say, "Look, I made all this!" And I'd open the door to my little bedroom and gesture at the ceiling. I was excited to show my friends what I'd done. But before they could say anything, I'd blurt out, "Yes, I know it's a little crazy. It feels like clown-town in here."
"No," they'd say. "I like it!" They'd hurriedly assure me the bunting looked great.
Maybe they could tell I was insecure about the frothy, colorful fabric hanging from my ceiling. No one said anything bad about my bunting, but it made me feel even worse about the whole thing – that I was fishing for compliments about the bunting that I'd made from old dresses. Were they just blowing smoke up my ass? I needed an honest opinion about the bunting. I felt like my life depended on it. Was I making any progress here, or just spinning my wheels?
I used the rest of the bunting that day for my outdoor birthday party and it rained. It poured half the day. My bunting got soaking wet. And I didn't get rid of very much stuff. I did make money for my trip but ended up with more stuff than when I began. One bird one stone.
After the party, I took the wet bunting down and rolled it up in a paper sack and put it in the garage. I felt defeated. I hadn't done anything useful. What was the point of this Goddamn bunting?
It took me six months, staring at the ceiling of my bedroom to finally decide to cut most of the bunting down from my bedroom walls. I put the extra pieces out in the garage with the rest of the stuff that doesn't fit in my house. My bedroom looks much better now. Not so busy and overwhelming, with just enough going on to catch my eye in the hours I spend in bed, writing and working. I will figure out what to do with the extra bunting in the garage one of these days. I've made my peace with it. And besides, I enjoy lying in bed and watching my houseplants grow, ever so slowly, stretching towards the light.

Hello everyone,
I'm gonna tell you everything from beginning till end what i feel when i reach to Johor Bahru with My soulmate, My Everything and i called her My love.
Kami memang dah merancang untuk pergi ke JB tp tak sangka apa yg di plankn jadi realiti bila kami hendak buat sesi interview di klinik penawar utk group assignment kami. We took bus from MC and reach up on JB at 9.15 p.m. Bila sampai je JB, mmg lain rasanya dgn negeri sendiri. JB is big city and full with nice people and everything. Rasa getar dan takut buat pertama kali utk bertemu dgn Ibunya. Memang la kan bila kita dah serius relationship dgn someone, we did everything to make sure that we will stay with her/his forever. Now is my time to meet her mother. First impression, ingatkan ibu dia ni garang tp tak sangka bila jumpa je ibu dia sangat baik orang nya. Daripada rasa seram sejuk terus hilang bila ibu kesayangan nya layan aku mcm tu. I feel so comfortable and happy on that time. Aku harap bila ibu dia jumpa aku buat pertama kali nya, first impression dia berubah daripada kenal melalui mulut dan gambar si dia. Okay, biasalah kan bila dah sampai je mesti laparkan yela perjalanan jauh katanya. I being took up to her place where the place she born up. Mmg suasana tenang sangat tapi terlintas di fikiran aku mcm la dua orang keluarga boleh hidup dgn baik sehingga walaupun pernah berlaku perkara yang tak dijangka. Honestly, i'm crying inseide because i really care about this family especially her. Mmg rasa nak menangis time tu tp lelakikn.Kena le tunjuk kuat sikit. Tp tula mmg terasa mcm mana mereka dgn alhamdulillah hidup dgn aman. Everytime i pray, firstly my mom, second is HER and third is me because both of them i care too much and don't want to lose them hope everytime i did my pray will be bless :'). Okay, perut dah lapar, makanan pon dah hidang apa lg makan le. haha. Masakan nasi ayam ibu dia mmg nak terbaikk sangat kalau boleh superb la. Makan time tu mmg tak pandang kiri kana, lapar katakan. Ibu dia mintak tambah lagi. tp tula org ckp kena beradab sikit. Niat hati mmg nak sgt tp masalahnya malu. Kalau boleh nak curi senyap2 then bawak balik hotel utk supper nanti *evil laugh*. Okay cerita pasal hotel pulak, aku menginap kt sebuah hotel yg di panggil tak silap Sun Flower. Hotel baru buka so mmg decoration dia mmg selesa. Bilik selesa dan semua selesa. I stay there per one night before we gonna do our assignment tomorrow. Bila semua dh setel tinggal time nak sleep je. Dia akan ambil aku esok pagi tp mmg risau sgt dia nak balik time malam tu sbb tak nak apa2 jadi kt dia. Alhamdulillah selamat bila dia sampai je terus call aku. Duduk bilik sorang mcm benda yg fikir but the most i think every seconds and minutes is her. Fall in love with her was the best thing *wipe tears*. Morning!!! mmg time tu aku bangun awal gila sbb nak bersiap dan tunggu dia fetch aku utk buat assigment group. A breakfast that make by her mother make me feel so hungry. Orang johor ni mmg masak sedap2 agaknya sbb mak dia buatkan aku sorang yang habis kan tp orang cakap nak jaga hati orang tua kena le amik hati dia mcm habiskan makanan yang dibuatkan ke and anything. Lepas breakfast je kami terus gerak utk settle kan assignment group. Mmg tgk JB time mmg crowded sbb ramai org sgt di mana mana. We took 2 hours to settle that assignment. After settle everything on that assignment. Bila kita datang negeri orang mesti le kena jalan jalan sekali. Dah alang alang tu mmg pusing satu JB tu. Environment in JB is nice that i can say because is really near to Singapore. Pusing pusing jalan jalan around JB Danga Bay dan banyak tempat yg dia tunjuk then cari tempat makan yg tak pernah aku rasa. She took me to 7spices restaurant. A great lunch with her and her mother. Happy that i can said on that time because when i look on her, she's so closely to her mother. For sure she's the only one that her mother have, they so intimate. For our dinner is so simple, me and her go to "pasar lambak" johoriean said for buy something that can fullfill. Everything there is different from foods and anything. A great on that day, i can never be forget. It will stay remind in my mind till forever. Tomorrow we gonna leave JB and back to Melaka. Nak tinggalkan JB mmg berat rasanya sbb dah berkenalan dgn ibu dia yg sangat baik tak terkata dan juga dpt kenal kwn rapat dia dari sekolah lagi Ili Nurhuda. Sebelum ni dari twitter je. She so nice. A good conversation between me and her mother. What can i describe between on our conversation is her mother give a big responsibility to take her only daughter, my love Fatin Zulaikha. She tell me to be patient with her all the time, give advice when needed, make sure she healthy and the most important thing love her like love yourself. Yess, i love her more than my self and is my responsibility to take care her all the time. This is my promise from beginning our relationship till now. To took over her late father place is so difficult but syukur im try slowly to be her late father. Before we take bus , i see from her mother face that she cry when her beloved daughter gonna leave her and i still remember that she ask me again "Jaga fatin elok elok". All about you is about me sayangg and i love you most. End of my journey to JB, we just sitting up on that bus till we reach Melaka. A good stories, A good memories, A good preachment i learn when im at JB. Nice stories in my life time.
*Dear you sayangg, i love you for all the time and my YOU are now my responsibility. I will be patient with you temper and be good listener to you. Thank you so much for being nice with me since we meet. You thought to be more mature men sayanggg. Thank you sayangg, Thank you so much!!! I LOVE YOU

Jurgen Klopp has explained why he decided to name both Fabinho and Roberto Firmino in his starting XI against Bayern Munich.
Dejan Lovren was thought to be in the running for a place in Liverpool's team, but Klopp revealed that the Croatian had 'no chance' of starting the first leg of the Champions League last-16 clash.
The German, therefore, has opted for a makeshift central defence of Fabinho and Joel Matip – who have never played together before – with Virgil van Dijk missing out through suspension.
Meanwhile, Firmino has been passed fit despite skipping training on Monday after coming down with a virus.
Asked whether it was a 'big night' for Fabinho starting at centre-back, Klopp told BT Sport: 'Oh yes, it's a big night for us so it makes sense.
'It was not mind games, but Dejan had no chance for the game or even the next game.
'So he will take time so, for us, it was clear that Fabinho and Joel has to start tonight. We trained for it, tried everything and now hopefully the boys are ready.
On Firmino's fitness issues in the week, Klopp explained: 'You cannot be sure.
'Yesterday the doctor was slightly positive and Bobby was very positive, he said: "No, I'm fine!"
'But yesterday he was not fine, today he is fine – so let's go.'
Van Dijk has warned his Liverpool team-mates to be 'ready for anything' against the Bundesliga giants.
'Obviously they have a great squad, great players,' the Dutchman told Liverpool's official website.
'It's a fantastic club and it's a great opponent to play against, so it's going to be a beautiful two games, I think.
'I think, overall, the whole team has quality all over the pitch. Obviously, the players up front maybe have that bit extra, which you need at the bigger clubs.
'They've been doing it for years, so [I have] a lot of respect for them. But, we obviously want to go through to the next round.
'We need to be ready for anything. We want to win those games, we want to go through and we need to be more than 100 per cent to go through because they are a fantastic team.'

This side dish of roasted cauliflower, broccoli, and bacon is a very simple yet flavor-filled dish. All of the ingredients are oven roasted, even the bacon. The dish is then tossed with a spicy sweet soy sauce.
The ease of making this side dish is that the vegetables and bacon are both placed in the oven at the same time. The bacon cooks earlier and can be chopped while waiting for the vegetables, as well as making the spicy soy sauce.
The recipe
Serves 6
Suggested tools: Sheet pan for vegetables; Sheet pan with a cooling rack for bacon
1-2 Tablespoons olive oil (for the vegetables)
1 large head fresh cauliflower (about 2-1/2 pounds), chopped into large parts
1 medium size broccoli floret, chopped into large parts
1 large vidallia onion cut into large florets
2 garlic cloves, preferably roasted
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound of thick-cut smoked bacon
Ingredients for Spicy Soy Sauce Dressing*
2 Tablespoons olive oil (for the dressing)
1 garlic clove, minced.
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 Tablespoon sugar
Preheat oven
Place all vegetables in a large bowl.
Add olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss well.
Spread vegetables on a sheet pan and set aside.
Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top of it.
Spread bacon slices on the cooling rack. This method will give you a more crisp bacon, as well as allow bacon fat to drip away from the bacon.
Place the sheet pan with the bacon on the top rack of the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is cooked to your desired doneness.
Place the vegetable sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven (at the same time you placed the bacon in the oven) and bake for 25-30 minutes.
While the bacon and vegetables are in the oven prepare the dressing. Mix all ingredients and stir well. Set aside.
When the bacon is ready, allow it to cool a little and then cut into 1/4 inch pieces.
When the vegetables are ready, transfer them to a large bowl and toss with the spicy soy sauce dressing.
Add about half of the bacon and toss. Then garnish with remaining half of bacon.
Serve immediately.
*Cooking notes. I cannot take credit for this delicious dressing. I've been making it for years from the cookbook called Good Food Book by Jand Brody.

1. I'm a published poet. Sort of. In fifth grade I wrote a poem entitled The Daisy. It was submitted by my fifth grade teacher and published in a magazine called... something... I don't remember, but it was an actual national magazine that was publishing elementary poems for that issue.
2. I was operated on when I was three years old for a Pediatric Melanoma in my cheek. Seriously, I still have the scar. I used to be totally self-conscious about it (up until a few years ago) but have since let it go. My freckles cover it up pretty well anyway.
3. I have Murphy's Toe. I know a lot of people have this, but I do too. For those of you who don't know what Murphy's Toe is, it is when the second toe is longer than the first. Oh, and my toes are long and skinny; my sister and I call them Cheeto Toes.
4. My favorite article of clothing is a polo style T-Shirt. These shirts are the most comfortable things to wear, in my opinion.
5. I pace whenever I talk on the phone. Now, most of my family can claim this trait as well. I think it is a law that our bodies CANNOT NOT pace while we are on the phone. In fact, I've heard that everyone in family who does this has a pattern to their pacing as well. Mine is around the dividing wall in our apartment. I think the best exercise I ever get is when I'm on the phone. It's literally a CONSTANT pacing.
6. I am fascinated by writing people's names. If there is a dull moment and a pen and paper around I am usually writing names. Anyone's name. Of course my family is my favorite to write; but I will end up with future children's names, friends, people that we're with at the time, celebrities, general authorities, etc. One time in my 8th grade Spanish class I wrote my entire extended families names. Including: aunts, uncles, cousins, and my cousins children. Any family out there knows what a daunting task that could have been for a 13 year old in 1997. I want to say the list was around 50 people long? I even had it broken down into families and listed by age.
7. I missed out on a trip to New York with my Madrigals choir my senior year. Well, we all missed out on it. Our chorister had us all lined up for this huge show and tour in New York (singing in St. James Cathedral, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, and other places). We had received the approval and raised all the money to fund the entire trip.
One of the big things we were doing was singing with a bunch of other school from all around the nation in quite a few performances. It was supposed to be a Christian program. When the 'powers that be' found out that we were a school from Utah they kicked us out because they thought we were all LDS and didn't think the LDS religion was Christian.
It was a huge disappointment for us that year. But Channel 2 (or was it 4) News found out about it and interviewed us all, well not me because I wasn't 18, and made it known that we were a public school with faiths of all kind in attendance. Of course, they still didn't let us in. Bummer.

Jaeyoung Choi and I fixed dinner together last evening. It turned out to be "international" cuisine, though that was not our goal. We just wanted something to eat! He fixed a Korean specialty that included seaweed, veggies, and dumplings, while I cooked up some Thai brown rice topped with South African beans and Indian chunky tomato mix. It was slightly on the spicy side, but it turned out to be a delicious dinner! We may have to collaborate more often.

A lot of your day will be spent in the room you'll be getting ready in so why not take the time to find the perfect spot for you and your bridal party to start your best day at. Here are a few tips to help you get the best shot possible on your day.
1. Pick a space with plenty of light.
With my style, natural lighting is key and the more light the better! So with this, a lot of window light is perfect! Natural lighting is so much flattering than light fixtures lamps so you'll tend to see me turns those off.
Tip: If a room with natural light isn't an option ask to see if there is an outdoor space where you can do your finishing touches.
2. Keep the room clean.
Wedding day preparation can get hectic and with everyone and things can pile up real quick. Before getting ready photos begin, have your family and friends help clean out the room where you are going to be changing. This includes drinks, food, clothes, bags or anything that will be a distracting in the background. After doing this you'll have timeless images to look back on with your loved ones.
3. Get all your details in one spot.
Before I arrive, delegate someone to collect all your details into one spot. This includes Your jewelry, shoes, wedding rings and bands, invitation suite, dress hanger, your "something old" or any other different item you might want photographed. So make sure they are all together to pick up. This will allow for me to photograph them more quickly, and more time shooting you and your tribe getting ready together
Tip: If your florist arrives at the hotel/venue before the photographer, ask them if they could leave a few extra to add to the detail shots.
4. Make sure your space has enough room.
It might take some time to find, but having a great space can really help with the flow of your day. Make sure the spot has enough room for you and your bridal party to relax. You all don't want to be crammed into a small room the entire time. Opt for spaces that match for your day's aesthetic but you can never go wrong with white walls and neutral tones. Airbnb is a great spot to look for a spot with enough light and room.
5. Destress and have fun!
It's your wedding day and you have some of your favorite people in the same room with you! Don't forget to relax and enjoy the moment with them. It's super easy to stress about all the events of the day but take this time to enjoy getting dolled up and have fun with your girls!

Guillemin Marie-Laure
Maître de Conférence à l'Universidad Austral de Chile (UACH)
Research area
My research focuses on the evolution of the biological diversity, both at the community and population levels, and the process that are at the origin of these variations. In particular, I'm interested in determining what are the impacts of the environmental changes over the diversity (biological or genetic) of organisms located in the maritime coastal area. The aim is to understand how the global environmental changes, natural or linked to human activity, affect the survival of the populations.
I use principally molecular markers to study the population genetic diversity of seaweeds of important economical or ecological interest. Recently, part of my work was focused on unravelling the existence of cryptic sister species and studding their distribution, past population dynamics and possible events of hybridization and introgression in contact zones.
I am also interested in the evolution of life history traits and reproductive strategy in red algae and their genetic consequences. Various life cycles coexist among and within taxa of red algae and some species are characterised by complex lifecycle (haploid-diploid life cycle) that make them good models to test some hypotheses on the evolution of life cycles.

- Attract top talent
- Boost the bottom line
- Keep key people from jumping ship
We're excited to announce the release of our first White Paper. We developed it to explain how Executive Presence Training (EPT) escalates opportunities for individuals and teams – and benefits an organization's bottom line.
Today, the corporate world is universally caught up in defining what comprises Executive Presence. Important? Yes, and we have some definite ideas about it; however, we wanted to showcase how EP Training connects corporate advantages with employee advancement. EPT encourages people to strive for achievement and aspire for advancement. This has a powerful impact on the bottom line.
Within every organization, it's often tough to find relevant guidance, or figure out what EP training can do to address current conditions. Our objective was to provide easily accessible, useful information about the universal challenges facing talent decision makers today.
At Corporate Class, training is our business. We've spent years developing our EP System. What has changed since its inception is the diversity of applications.
This White Paper describes seven typical employee "situations" resolved through EPT, and resulting in mutually beneficial outcomes for employees and employers.
7 Diverse Applications of EP Training:
1. Attract and retain top talent
Challenge: Pinpoint the distinct training needs of new recruits
2. Reduce costly turnover
Challenge: Prevent a flight risk
3. Prepare high potentials for promotion
Challenge: Determine the evolving needs of prospective leaders
4. Accelerate women's advancement
Challenge: Overcome career-limiting obstacles
5. Reinforce internal promotions
Challenge: Preempt setbacks for newly promoted leaders
6. Motivate the next generation of leaders
Challenge: Provide critical feedback to modify behavior
7. Strengthen leapfrog successions
Challenge: Identify and correct underperformance
The focus of EPT
Today, organizations increasingly recognize that investment in professional development not only leads to more loyal employees, who make greater efforts and are better prepared to advance, it also drives all the numbers in the right direction!
A brief overview of this White Paper:
- Examines the key goals of EPT
- Describes its six fundamental corporate evaluation benefits
- Explains the actual merits of EP training, how it accelerates and encourages advancement
- Discusses actual people we have encountered and outcomes we have experienced with many different teams and individuals
We invite you to download this complimentary White Paper
As always, we welome your feedback!


text: We shot Corey and Julia's wedding in Gualala, CA and that was the first wedding we have shot down that far North along the coast off the scenic Highway 1. It's really a spectacularly gorgeous area and one of my favorite drives in California. The wedding was held at a private estate nestled amongst the coastal trees. It was a nice change of pace shooting in a such an intimate setting and the design of everything from the outdoor dance floor to the open air ceremony site was very sweet.

birdomike posted a topic in General Gaming DiscussionsAnyone Else picking up the new Baulder's Gate? It looks pretty good, and I miss old school RPGs.
birdomike posted a topic in General Gaming DiscussionsSo I spent some time this evening in Skyrim. I use the SKSE Mod loader with Skyrim, and I used the filter to track anything dealing with TESV.exe. I tried to load around towns and random areas a bit. I'm a little confused whether the Process Monitor was able to capture the mods use or not. Regardless, here are my results. Textures.bsa (1.3GB), Meshes.bsa (1.4GB), Sounds.bsa (900MB) are the top three accessed files. So if have about 4GB extra, I'd say do those. From there, animations.bsa (40MB), misc.bsa (169MB), Voices (1.3GB), and mods (Unofficial skyrim Patch and Guard Dialogue Overhaul). It was a mess when I installed Skyrim Mods. They are present on the C drive, while Skyrim is located on my D drive. (It was my first attempt at using mods for a game, besides Minecraft). I'm thinking of wiping everything and doing a fresh install. Regardless, I hope this is helpful to someone.
birdomike replied to birdomike's topic in General Gaming DiscussionsI do. I can take a look at it after dinner.
birdomike replied to PDizzle's topic in Dimmdrive DiscussionsCome on Tim, we're not all that loaded ! RAM isn't as cheap as it was a year ago. I looked at getting 64GB, but the prices are $250+. I might go to 32GB, though. Should load most games, if I devote 26GB to DimmDrive.
birdomike replied to Tim's topic in Hardware / Benchmarks / PC Show-OffsGlorious PC master race
birdomike replied to PDizzle's topic in Dimmdrive Discussions3-4 Second decrease in loading times from "The Stanley Parable". Useful, because it has a few loading screens that take you out of the mood for a bit.
birdomike replied to PDizzle's topic in Dimmdrive Discussions7 second increase loading time in League of Legends (But you'll still be waiting on your friends!)
birdomike posted a topic in General Gaming DiscussionsHi guys. I took a post from earlier about how to find what are the most commonly accessed files while running a game, and I put it to use. It's useful if you're using the "Less RAM" Option to find out exactly what files are being used the most during gameplay. So, here's the results from about 20 minutes of gametime in Batman: Arkham City: As you can see, Textures.tfc and normals.tfc are way out on top (They come in at about 1.3 GB each). Next up is Chartectures.tfc (1.2GB) and lighting.tfc (625MB). If anyone has any requests, let me know. I'll see what I can do. I have a pretty big inventory of games, and I'll most likely post more.
birdomike replied to JRWR's topic in Dimmdrive SupportI'm going to take this info and get some of the commonly used games today, and post the highest accessed files. So then anyone else who needs to budget their memory, can use it as a guide.
