text: Vintage style – five blonde icons Here are five influential blondes whose golden tresses have found many imitators and even more admirers. Jean Harlow The original platinum blonde, Harlow is recognized as one of the most gifted and beautiful stars of the Thirties. Born Harlean Carpenter in Kansas City, she was the daughter of Jean Harlow Carpenter an ambitious stage-mother and force behind Jean's rise to fame. When she was only 16, the young Harlow eloped with a businessman and moved to Los Angeles, where she began appearing as an extra in silent films. In 1930, Harlow got her first real break from Howard Hughes, who cast her in his World War I drama Hell's Angels after he found the film's original star Greta Nissen's Swedish accent incomprehensibly thick. Harlow's wise-cracking presence in the film soon attracted much attention, and Hughes sent her out on a publicity tour and loaned her to other studios. While her performances were often panned by critics and audiences were initially shocked by her almost lurid onscreen sexuality, she gradually began to develop a following. She achieved real fame in 1932 when MGM bought her contract and decided to give her more substantial parts. Unfortunately, as her professional career flourished, her personal life began to deteriorate, beginning with the alleged suicide of her second husband Paul Bern. Later, she ended up briefly married to cinematographer Harold Rosson, and then had a long engagement with MGM star William Powell. While filming Saratoga in 1937, Harlow suddenly fell ill; ten days later, on June 7, she died at age 26. During her life, Harlow had starred in less than twenty films. At the time of her death, no details as to why she died were released, but several years later it was revealed that Harlow had suffered from kidney disease most of her life, and that she died of acute uremic poisoning. Etta James Born Jamesetta Hawkins on January 25, 1938, in Los Angeles, as a child, Etta was a gospel prodigy, singing in her church choir and on the radio at the age of 5. When she turned 12, she moved north to San Francisco where she formed a trio and was soon working for bandleader Johnny Otis. In 1954, she moved to Los Angeles to record "The Wallflower" (a tamer title for the then-risqué "Roll with Me Henry") with the Otis band. It was that year that the young singer became Etta James (an shortened version of her first name) and her vocal group was dubbed The Peaches (also Etta's nickname). Soon after, James launched her solo career with such hits as "Good Rockin' Daddy" in 1955. After signing with Chicago's Chess Records in 1960, James' career began to soar. Chart toppers included duets with then-boyfriend Harvey Fuqua, the heart-breaking ballad "All I Could Do Was Cry," "At Last" and "Trust in Me." But James' talents weren't reserved for powerful ballads. She knew how to rock a house, and did so with such gospel-charged tunes as "Something's Got a Hold On Me" in 1962 and "In The Basement" in 1966. Sadly, heroin addiction affected both her personal and professional life, but despite her continued drug problems she persisted in making new albums. With suggestive stage antics and a sassy attitude, James continued to perform and record well into the 1990s. She died earlier this year. Jayne Mansfield Born Vera Jayne Palmer, Mansfield won her first beauty contest as a child and decided to become an actress. Her plans had to be put on hold, however, when she became pregnant at sixteen by Paul Mansfield, who she married in May 1950.Mansfield worked, cared for her daughter, and studied acting at the University of Texas in Austin. She also won several beauty contests, and decided to go to Hollywood to study at UCLA and to act. After some work in television, her first film was 1955's Blues followed by The Female Jungle. Although she was a talented actress, her career was much helped by her ample physical attributes and resemblance to Marilyn Monroe. Her breakout role came in 1957 with a featured part in The Burglar. Her Hollywood career was however short lived; her most notable films were The Girl Can't Help It (1956), Too Hot to Handle (1960) and her last film Single Room Unfurnished (1968). Jayne gradually became more famous for her love of life and talent for self-promoting stunts as well as her lavish Hollywood mansion, known as "the pink palace". Jayne divorced Mansfield in 1956 and married Mickey Hargitay, a former Mr. Universe, two years later in a public ceremony at which Mansfield wore a transparent wedding dress, however the marriage ended in divorce. So did her next one to Italian-born director Matt Cimber. Tragically, in June 1967, Mansfield was killed at the age of 34, when the car in which she was travelling crashed into the back of a truck in Louisiana. She had been travelling to New Orleans for an early morning TV interview, with her lover Sam Brody and their driver Ronnie Harrison, as well as three of her children. The three adults were killed, with an urban legend emerging that Mansfield was decapitated, while the children escaped with minor injuries. Mansfield's funeral was held on 3 July in Pennsylvania. Her gravestone is shaped as a heart and has the engraving "We Live to Love You More Each Day". Mia Farrow Mia Farrow was born to film star Maureen O'Sullivan and director John Farrow. She fell victim to polio at the age of nine, but recovered. Educated in an English convent school, she returned to California with plans to take up acting. With little experience, Farrow debuted on Broadway in a 1963 revival of 'The Importance of Being Earnest'. The following year, she was cast in TV soap opera 'Peyton Place', which made her an idol of the American teen set. When she became the third wife of singer Frank Sinatra, 30 years her senior, the marriage caused a great deal of newspaper gossip, but didn't last long. Farrow's first important movie appearance was in Rosemary's Baby, as the unwitting mother of Satan's offspring. Farrow received almost as much recognition for the pixie crop haircut she sported in the film as she did for her acting, for which she was awarded a Golden Globe. She married Andre Previn and started a family but, by the early Eighties, a newly divorced Farrow had taken up with comedian-director Woody Allen, for whom she did some of her best work in such films as Zelig, Radio Days, and Husbands and Wives. In 1992 she discovered that Allen had been having an affair with her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, and Farrow and Allen engaged in a long and well-publicised court battle for custody of their adopted and biological children. She continues to appear sporadically on the screen and acts as a high profile advocate for children's rights, working to raise funds and awareness for children in conflict affected regions, predominantly in Africa. Debbie Harry Adopted at about three months of age by Richard and Catherine Harry, Debbie Harry was raised in New Jersey. She spent most of her twenties working odd jobs as a secretary, cocktail waitress and Playboy bunny, while rubbing shoulders with the Warhol set. In October 1973, Harry began both a musical and personal relationship with Chris Stein. Together, Deborah and Chris formed Blondie. Blondie battled for success for many years but, late in 1977, 'Denis' reached number two in the British charts. 'Heart of Glass' was Blondie's first worldwide hit, reaching number one in both America and Britain. Harry's glamorous platinum blonde looks, keen wit and creative musical style propelled Blondie to mega stardom, and the group had several number one hits, including 'Call Me', 'The Tide is High', and 'Rapture'. However, tensions caused the group to split in 1984, and Harry's solo career would never live up to the success of Blondie. Harry is also an actress, appearing in Union City (1979), Videodrome (1983) and Hairspray (1986), amongst others. Since 1998, much of her time has been taken up touring and recording with the reformed Blondie. 4 Responses Mary, We Heart Vintage March 5th, 2012 Great, as always!

ENGLAND utility back Austin Healey yesterday received a 14-day ban and £1,000 fine by his club Leicester for alleged foul play.
Healey has been summoned to attend a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing on Thursday, after the independent citing officer lodged a complaint that he kicked Sale wing Anthony Elliott during the Zurich Premiership match on Dec 27.
If found guilty Healey could face a six-week ban, ruling him out of England's opening Six Nations Championship match with Scotland in Edinburgh on Feb 2.
The Tigers have taken pre-emptive action, convening their own disciplinary panel, although they accepted Healey's plea that he tripped Elliott, rather than kicked him.
Healey's club suspension is dated from the Sale fixture, and ruled him out of yesterday's 29-7 Heineken Cup victory over Italian side Calvisano.
"Having viewed the video footage and listened to the evidence, the panel accepted Austin's plea that he had tripped the Sale winger and not kicked him," said a statement from Leicester.
"He has been banned from playing for 14 days from the date of the incident, and fined £1,000."
Leicester stepped in almost three years ago when London Irish cited Healey for stamping on their South African scrum-half, Kevin Putt.
They handed out a three-week ban, which was increased by five weeks when Healey appeared before RFU disciplinary chiefs.
As a result of the suspension, Healey took no part in England's 1999 Five Nations campaign until the final game - when he sat on the bench against Wales at Wembley.
He was also found guilty of bringing the Lions tour party into disrepute after last summer's trip to Australia following comments he allegedly made in a ghosted newspaper column.
It prompted an undisclosed four-figure fine of around £3,000 plus costs, after Healey appeared before Lions manager Donal Lenihan, coach Graham Henry and captain Martin Johnson at a hearing in Dublin.

Is it ok?
Most Helpful Guy
I think they are scum and in no way is it ok00|00|0
Thank you so much for MH
Most Helpful Girl
No, because what they're selling is illegal.00|00|0
Is it ok?
Have an opinion?
Personally, I can't see any ethical or moral problems with that. There's a demand for drugs and so there are people who supply them. Just like with any other (legal) product. That's just how the capitalist economy works. So why should there be an exception for drugs. If I don't supply them, somebody else will take my job and the money.
Also, most drug manufacturers and drug dealers don't get rich with their job. Especially if you take into consideration the huge risk this job involves (risk of getting caught, risk of getting killed by an opponent drug dealer etc.), the salary is not very good for most people.
Now, of course some smart, skilled drug dealers do get very rich. However, that's something they can't even control. The fact that drugs are illegal automatically makes them rare in quantity. And the fact that they are rare makes them expensive. If the government has a problem with some seedy drug dealers getting rich, it's the responsibility of the government to legalize drugs.
And finally, I don't agree that drug dealers ruin people's lives. Everyone ruins his/her own life. Nobody forces you to buy drugs. The drug dealers simply supplies a service.
The only ethical problem I see with selling drugs is people punching their drugs with unhealthy or dangerous substances. If I was a drug manufacturer, I would definitely play fair in the sense that I would only sell my customers good-quality drugs that are as pure as possible.
It's pretty common here. Even people that are successful in other areas of business still try their hand at investing in the drug trade at high levels because the profit margins are so high due to artificial inflation... The Kennedy's played the same game with alcohol prohibition and because pseudo royalty and took the white house. Overall the message is, that in America, it's a winning play.
it's obviously not okay because it's against the law lol
assuming you mean illegal narcotics
Is it ok to get tons of people addicted to drugs and prey on their addiction?
marijuana or hard drugs?
it's okey everyone shud do this drug dealer are people too... what a silly question...
Those are the kinds of people who don't give a damn about other people. They care more about their well being and affording to live the way they want. Though those people would only be rich thanks to idiots that want the drugs to begin with. So I blame the idiots for making them rich.
So if nobody bought the drugs to begin with. Then anyone trying to sell them would be fucked at making a profit from them.
Though i guess there might be some people like the dude from breaking bad. That get some kind of disease and need money to pay for medical expenses. Which in that case I wouldn't blame them for becoming that desperate.
Its sad! ya know! They lost there moral for greed! You got be happy wuth what you got!
You mean got rich by ruining lives? Not cool.
I don't think too strongly on this but it's a way of life for some... I think addiction itself extremely sad and disheartening, there will always be some form of illegal drugs and people will find a way to get to it. All drug dealers are not bad people, most are in hard times and just want to make a living.
Illegal drugs? As in to get high and stuff? Nope, it's not okay to me and I would stay away.
I like people who were really poor and did it to survive, then they flip it and turn that profit into a legit business and know when to walk away.

Making : Milk Carton Buildings
Gee. I just checked. The last time I posted an 'Arts and Craft' post was way back in May!
Not that we stopped doing arts and crafts stuff at home, because we still do. But somehow I think there seems to have been so many other topics that I wrote about and I simply didn't get around to sharing more about the crafting stuff we do.
Oh well. Anyway.
Here's one quick-yet-great crafting idea that you can try and make!
Milk Carton Buildings!
What you need :
– Used milk cartons
– Coloured Paper
– Glue, scissors, crayons
What we did :
– Cut the milk carton (see top picture), leaving the top part a little longer than the bottom part
– Cover the sides with coloured paper (to create 'different buildings' use different coloured paper)
– Glue the 'buildings' to each other (see the picture above)
– Cut bits of different shapes and stick them on as windows, doors, etc
– Cut out the 'doors' so they can be opened and closed
– If the child can already write, let him/her name the kind of buildings they've just made
And THAT IS IT!
Anya created a house and a museum, while Vai … well, he's just happy enough to have created buildings where he could drive his little toy cars in and out of the doors!

I like this! One could make a whole town!! 😉
Thanks for the simple yet great idea. I realised that I stopped doing art work with my kids since no 3 came. Will try this activity with 3 of them.
Very cute houses! I like them cos they look so imperfect…so kiddy!
pura pake packaging lain utk ekspor kali yah? Kok pura disini lain packagingnya. Tadinya gw pikir mgkn sgp jg ada pura sndr. Tp gw baca fresh australian milk
How totally cute!
hey this is so simple! I love the idea 🙂
Niiiiiiice! That was cute!

I wish all of my dear family, friends, and kindred spirits whom I have come to know through social media many blessings on Thanksgiving. May you and your families know peace and the warmth of good food and happy memories!
While I will celebrate with my family and rejoice in my many blessings, my heart feels heavy for those who are not as fortunate. As our country faces a crisis in its future direction, so many things we take for granted are at risk…our rights have been undermined by a oligarchic takeover of our government as we slowly slip into fascism. So many issues of our times have been hijacked by sensationalism as a tactical diversion to keep us at odds with one another, and the majority of people have willingly given up their freedoms without realizing it.
For those who know me well, you know I am an ardent advocate for the rights and freedoms of all people and animals. I guess it's in my DNA. I thought this was a good time to remind myself and share with you a part of my family history which explains my passion for the rights of others as well as animals. I hope you will find it interesting…
On my maternal side of the family, we can trace our American roots to the colonization of this country, arriving shortly after the Mayflower. My grandmother Ada (Ida) was born a Southwick and my great-grandfather Robert Southwick fought in the Civil War, entering at the age of 12.
"Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick were the early immigrants to colonial America and devout Quakers who, along with their children, were severely persecuted for their religious beliefs.'
"Lawrence and Cassandra were married 25 January 1623/4 at Kingswinford, Staffordshire, England. Along with their four surviving children, John, Josiah, Mary, and Daniel, the Southwicks emigrated to Salem, Massachusetts, sometime between mid-1637 and early-1639 when they were admitted to the First Church in Salem. Lawrence was one of the first glassmakers in America, and practiced his craft in the part of Salem now known as Peabody, which was the first glass manufacturing district in America. Lawrence left the industry in 1642, and turned his attention to animal husbandry at which he was very successful.'
"In 1657 the Southwicks were put in jail for hosting two visiting Quaker preachers, John Copeland and Christopher Holder. Lawrence Southwick was found to be a member of the First Church of Salem and was released to be dealt with by the leaders of that church. Cassandra remained in jail for seven weeks and was fined forty shillings for possessing a paper written by their two visitors. The paper was considered heretical by Governor John Endicott and others.'
"In 1658 the Southwicks and their son Josiah were put in jail for twenty weeks for being Quakers.'
"In 1659, the two youngest of the Southwick's children, a daughter named Provided Southwick and a son named Daniel Southwick, were sentenced to be sold as slaves in the Barbadoes for unpaid fines – fines related to their being Quakers. The sentence was not carried out, however. The entire family went to Shelter Island, New York together.'
"In 1660 Lawrence and his wife Cassandra died within three days of each other on Shelter Island.
"A plaque in Southwick Hall at University of Massachusetts Lowell commemorates "Royal Southwick, Lowell's anti-slavery Quaker senator and manufacturer and a descendent of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick who were despoiled, imprisoned, starved, whipped, banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony and persecuted to death in the year 1660 for being Quakers."
"The Ballad of Cassandra Southwick is a poem written by American Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier in 1843. It details the religious persecution of Cassandra Southwick's youngest daughter Provided Southwick, a Quaker woman who lived in Salem, Massachusetts and is the only white female known to be put up at auction as a slave in the United States.
"The ballad's foundation is based on a remarkable event in the history of Puritan intolerance in early colonial America. In 1659, the youngest son and daughter of Lawrence and Cassandra Southwick, who themselves were imprisoned, deprived of all property and ultimately banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony, were fined £10 each for non-attendance at church, which they were unable to pay due to the severity of the family's legal and financial hardships.'
"The case of Daniel and Provided Southwick was presented to the General Court at Boston, which issued an order signed by Edward Rawson empowering the treasurer of Essex County "to sell the said persons to any of the English nation at Virginia or Barbadoes to answer said fines." An attempt was made to sell Daniel and Provided at auction, but none of the shipmasters present were willing to take them to the West Indies."
Excerpts from The Ballad of Cassandra Southwick
To the God of all sure mercies let my blessing rise today,
From the scoffer and the cruel He hath plucked the spoil away;
Yes, he who cooled the furnace around the faithful three,
And tamed the Chaldean lions, hath set His handmaid free!
Last night I saw the sunset melt though my prison bars,
Last night across my damp earth-floor fell the pale gleam of stars;
In the coldness and the darkness all through the long night-time,
My grated casement whitened with autumn's early rime.
—John Greenleaf Whittier
So there you have it! The ancestor of a white teenaged girl who was persecuted for her religion and imprisoned, to be sold into slavery! Thank goodness for the integrity of those sea merchants who refused to do so. And Lawrence, who gave up his glassmaking for animal husbandry, runs through my veins as well.
This is why I am the outspoken defender of those who are persecuted. I am outraged at every story I read daily–and there are more and more every day–where someone or an animal has been abused or killed. We have become numb to the horrors of it all in order to stay sane and survive, but at what cost? If we give up our passion for the rights of others, we become as inhuman and inhumane as those who commit these acts.
We have a government represented by those who no longer care for the neediest, who publicly flaunt our laws while making us pay for minor infractions, who are morally bankrupt–and we enable them!
Thanksgiving–a time we celebrate as we envision our pilgrims sitting down with the indigenous peoples sharing a meal in peace–has been violated this year by our country's failure to honor ancient tribal treaties! As the people gather at Standing Rock to protect their water rights and ancestral sacred grounds, they are being assaulted and abused in the name of corporate interests! The buffalo herds are being held in pens without food or water. Our environment is being raped. I am outraged!
So on this Thanksgiving Day, while I sit at table with my beloved family, know that my heart grieves and stands with those at Standing Rock and all who are oppressed, that there is no real peace in my heart as I witness the slow death of a world which is in danger of losing its soul.
What gives me hope is knowing that most people are inherently good and kind, but often uninformed or misinformed by those with an agenda. We must stand together and face our common humanity and fight those who use us as pawns to further their own agendas. We must for the sake of our future generations, just as those seamen saved a young girl from slavery! I would not be here to fight this good fight if my ancestors had not fought the good fight at the founding of this country.

I thought males actually matured after high school, but I guess that's not true. I know many men in their 20's who act just as childish as high school guys. I even know men in their 30's who act like this. Do men ever mature?
Most Helpful Guy
This does seem to be true for most adult men.
Unfortunately, age doesn't seem to matter much anymore. I can find an 18 year old guy who just graduated from high school, and there isn't much of a maturity difference than a man in his 60's. Most men just act like lifelong children.
I think it's because we're put on lower standards than women.11|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
Well I've noticed that no matter how old a man is, he's still secretly a big baby down inside. Some just let it show more than others.00|00|0

The kids and I love to read together in the mornings before we start our workbook subjects for the day. We switch around and read a variety of different books including historical fiction, classics, biographies, and fantasy. Right now we are loving the first book in C.S. Lewis' fantasy series, the Chronicles of Narnia.
This month we've been using the Fifth Grade Literature Guide Set from Memoria Press to enhance our study of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Though we always enjoy reading quality literature, this study has been a great learning experience for all of us and has really increased our appreciation of a good story.
Memoria Press Literature Guides
Memoria Press was founded in 1994 by a former homeschool mom, Cheryl Lowe. With an emphasis in liberal arts, Memoria Press provides a variety of Christian educational materials for homeschools, Christian schools, and private schools. We were able to review their Latin curriculum, Latina Christiana, last year and loved it.
This year Memoria Press very generously sent us their entire Fifth Grade Literature Guide Set to review. This beautiful set of literature study guides includes both student study guides and teacher's manuals for Lassie Come-Home, Heidi, and The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, for a total of six glossy paper back books.
Memoria Press offers literature guides for all ages ranging from preschool to highschool. You can purchase study guides separately, as a set, or as a set with novels included.
Thoughts and Usage
We started our review of this set with the study guide for The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. We already owned this novel by C.S. Lewis, so we were ready to begin as soon as the books arrived in the mail.
Since we normally read together everyday, we were able to complete about a chapter a day. Sometimes, though, there would be more writing than my son could handle on any particular day, so we would split the study guide activities into two days.
The student study guide is divided into these sections:
- Reading Notes
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension Questions
- Quotation
- Discussion Questions
- Enrichment
We started out by reading through the "Reading Notes" section. This section picks out words or phrases used in the chapter that may need some explaining, such as "champing their bits" or "saccharine tablet". I appreciated that these terms were explained in the study guide because we couldn't necessarily go straight to the dictionary to find their meaning.
Next, we went over the chapter's vocabulary. The vocabulary list was not overwhelming, only 2-4 words needed defining at a time. I had my son look up the words in the dictionary and write out the meaning in his workbook. Had there been more vocabulary words, I know my son would have had a meltdown but this small list was the perfect number of words to study.
I read the chapter aloud and my son listened. We started out doing the comprehension questions after reading the chapter, but we soon discovered that it was easier to fill out the answers to the comprehension questions as we read along. So, we would read the first comprehension question and then listen for the answer. When we came across the answer in our reading, my son would fill it in. This worked out very well for us!
The discussion questions were great at encouraging deeper thinking. We went over these questions verbally after reading the chapter and completing all the comprehension questions.
Lastly, the "Enrichment" section contained a variety of activities. The enrichment section could include dictation, a drawing activity, some map work, copywork, or research. We even came across a recipe for making Turkish Delight! We didn't complete all the Enrichment activities all the time. We did them as time and interest allowed.
The teacher's manual is set up exactly the same as the student study guide, only with the answers filled in, as seen in the photo above. There are teaching guidelines in the front of the teacher's manual that are helpful in knowing how to use the study guide with your child.
I found the teacher's manual to be especially helpful. Sometimes I wanted to know if my son should be more specific in his answer or I'd be confused as to what kind of answer they were looking for and would turn to the teacher's manual for help.
After every four chapters there is a quiz in the back of the teacher's manual for your child to take. The quizzes are usually fun and easy. They're not too intimidating. They have vocabulary matching, fill-in-the-blanks, multiple choice questions, some short comprehension questions, and lastly, a short essay question. The answer key for the quizzes are provided as well. A final test is also included.
The study guides for Heidi and Lassie Come-Home are set up much like the guide to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I love that they are organized so similarly because we can then easily transition to using the rest of the series. The Lassie Come-Home study guide even includes more mapwork, which my son loves! We are excited to move on to this next study soon.
Final Thoughts
I have really enjoyed using these literature study guides with my son. My son has gotten so much more out of our reading time together by using these study guides than he would have without them.
These study guides have made my son a better listener, a more active listener and has bettered his reading comprehension by far. He's been building his vocabulary and has been challenged to be more alert while reading or listening to a story.
We'd definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a good literature study!

Disclaimer: I am not a baker.
My mother was an amazing baker and I have many childhood and teen memories being in the kitchen with my mother baking cookies. I recall rolling dough, portioning cookies onto a cooking tray, asking to "lick the beaters" of our hand mixer and enjoying her delicious homemade sweet treats.
These days I ccasionally I enjoy a dessert when I am out at a restaurant but that's about they extent of my interaction with baking.
We have a new product at Ingles Markets, Wewalka Pastry Doughs ( http://wewalka.us/). Unlike other pastry dough that is in the freezer you can find this in the refrigerated dairy department. I had in mind making apple dumplings but as I was assembling all of the ingredients:
Wewalka puff pastry
1 Granny Smith Apple (peeled, cored and sliced thinly)
3 TBSP Postre Sea Salt Caramel Sauce ( or use your favorite caramel sauce)
1/2 cup sliced almonds (divided)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg yolk
1 TBSP water
1/2 TBSP brown sugar
I thought, how about an apple puff pastry…even easier!
From start to finish including baking time this was 40 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
1. Roll out Wewalka puff pastry dough onto baking sheet. Since it comes with its own parchment paper you don't need any!(Brilliant, right?).
2. Cut it in half.
3. Drizzle caramel sauce on both halves.
4. Put sliced apples on one of the halves and sprinkle with half of almonds and cinnamon.
5. Put other half of puff pastry on top (caramel side down) and crimp edges.
6. Beat together egg yolk and water and use this to brush pastry top.
7. Sprinkle top with remaining almonds and brown sugar.
8. Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
9. Remove, cool and then eat.
So you will look like a total superstar if you present this at your next dinner or family gathering…and no one has to know how easy it was.

I woke up this morning, and the first thing i did as my custom, is to pick up my phone, check my messages after which I was going to read my devotional and pray for the day ahead. I was on track until I came to a message that just left me numb and confused; It left me considering the fairness of the universe. One of my little cousins, 7 or 8 years old, had just passed away. This is something that i presume will leave anyone disconcerted, and got me thinking about this thing we call life, what is it all about?
She had just been sick for a little while, and yes it had gotten quiet severe but surely that shouldn't warrant death should it? I mean, people go through a whole lot more than this little child did and they still survive, people get burnt from their heads to their toes, people have accidents that take away their limbs and they still make it through that. What determines our lifespan, is it the food we eat, how much exercise we get, or should we delve into spiritual matters and say it is a higher power?
Don't get me wrong, people die all the time, but gone are the days when senescence was the cause of death. When death meant you had told a story to the world and could finally rest. Lately people are just dying everywhere, from all kinds of causes, at any age. Should we be afraid?
But then again deliberating on what Ed Sheeran said "Its alright to die, 'cause death's the only thing you haven't tried"(I love that song, lol), I pondered yet again, should we not be afraid to die? Should we be prepared for the inevitable? Should we be open to the idea of our demise, that it can happen to any of us at any moment? I'm questioning everything today.
If anyone had told me my sweet, innocent and so so young baby girl would die so soon i would have shot the person in the head and drowned them too. But now that it has happened, it makes me reflect on my own life and the whole worlds' I guess, and though I'm sad and partially blind from my tears, I cant help by write this piece in the mist of my confusion on what our life really is. Can we all mull over this?
He-ya, thank you for reading this piece. This is just a little something that came to mind today. If you have anything to add or subtract please put in the comment section below, and don't forget to follow me so you never miss a post. Oh and like it too.
much love, Jema

Dale close on Perkins
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Rochdale are nearing a move for Morecambe midfielder David Perkins.
Rochdale are nearing a move for Morecambe midfielder David Perkins.
Spotland boss Keith Hill is in talks with the former Christie Park trainee, as the League Two club look to boost their ranks before the end of the month.
Perkins is a left-sided player, who can also play through the centre of midfield.
"We've contacted Morecambe with regards to signing David and although we've a agreed a deal in principle, we haven't even spoken to the player himself yet, so it's incorrect to say he's signed for us," Dale general manager Colin Garlick told the club's official website.
"We are very keen to sign him and we hope to have further developments on this within days."
As the club look to add to their midfield ranks, Rochdale have let defender Jonathan Boardman leave the club by mutual consent.
The former Woking player leaves the League Two side after less than two years with the North West outfit.
"I'm disappointed to be leaving, but I have to say I've enjoyed it here," Boardman said.
"It's a good little club and I have made some very good friends, but at the end of the day, it is the manager who picks the team and unfortunately, he didn't pick me as often as I'd like."

FARMVILLE, Va. (WRIC) — All eyes are on Central Virginia this week as vice presidential candidates Tim Kaine and Mike Pence will square off for their only debate Tuesday night at Longwood University.
With final preparations underway, Longwood is embracing its spot in the international spotlight with more than 2,000 members of the media expected to be in attendance.
Longwood was one of 100 universities that threw its hat in the ring to host the year's only vice presidential debate. That number dwindled down to 16 and then to four before the Lancers received the final nod.
"It's a tremendous opportunity to share our story," Longwood Chief of Staff Justin Pope told 8News. "We've been here for a long time, one of the 100 oldest colleges and universities, but we're not as well known as we ought to be beyond Central Virginia."

Target: Manjunath Reddy, Mayor of Bangalore
Goal: Praise ban on plastic and polymer packaging that is damaging the environment and endangering health.
Plastic bags, sheets, covers, and beads have been banned in Bangalore, a major city in India. The decision was made in response to the city's longstanding garbage crisis caused by a massive population explosion and a sanitation system that is struggling to keep up with growth. A lack of funding has resulted in the closure of several landfills and strikes by trash cleanup staff. Festering garbage has caused the pollution of both urban areas and rivers, resulting in massive pest infestations and subsequent protests by residents.
The ban on plastics will have reasonable exclusions for certain sealed foods and dairy products, but otherwise will cover the majority of plastics and other polymers. It will be illegal for any merchant to produce, sell, or possess any non-exception plastics. The government has suggested alternatives, including cloth and jute, which generally have less of a negative impact on the environment and are more reusable. This will result in a drastic reduction in the over 1,000 tonnes of plastic garbage produced in the massive city each day.
Not only will the ban help address the garbage crisis, but will have a positive effect on the environment through a reduction in emissions caused by plastic production as well as a decrease in solid waste. This new ban could set a precedent for other cities in India dealing with similar sanitation issues. Sign the petition below to applaud this groundbreaking and forward-thinking solution to the pollution crisis.
Dear Mayor Manjunath Reddy,
A ban has been implemented on the sale and production of plastic bags, packaging, and covers. This will have a major impact on the recurring Bangalore sanitation crisis caused in part by the production of over 1,000 tonnes of plastic trash each day. It will not only benefit citizens that live in filth due to pollution, but local rivers and the environment as a whole.
If successful, this ban could serve as a groundbreaking solution to sanitation issues common in India. It will reduce emissions from plastic production as well as result in cleaner rivers and city streets. We, the undersigned, praise your strict and forward solution to these pressing issues.
[Your Name Here]

Safari Magazine | Gujarati Edition | December 2017 Issue | Views And Reviews
We often say that there are tons of magazines publish every month and they literally flood the newsstands. However, not all of them has the substance so you can spend your money and more importantly your time for the same. Well, it depends upon an individual's choice that what kind of magazine he/she wants to read and we cannot set any rules for the same. However, there are no two thoughts on the fact that it is always good to go for a knowledge magazine which explores the fact as it is. Safari is a Gujarati Magazine which definitely falls ...

Safari Magazine | Gujarati Edition | November 2017 Issue | Views And Reviews
Safari – a Gujarati Magazine definitely falls into "magazine with a substace" category. Frankly speaking, I was expecting the issue to be late by a day or two, as there were Diwali holidays in the last month. But, the November 2017 issue of Safari hit the newsstand on time. The cover page gives an impression of a nature-oriented magazine with Zebras acquiring most of the space. The red and yellow flavor in the background makes the cover cheerful. Overall, an impressive cover. The Editorial: I consider the editorial, one of the most important parts of a magazine or for that ... Read More »
Safari Magazine | Gujarati Edition | October 2017 Issue | Views And Reviews
Like every month there are probably thousands of magazines are published. But, how many of them are actually worth your time and money? Based on your area of interest(s), the list can be of different size. There are very few magazines which bring some substance in terms of knowledge and information and fall in "must read" category. Safari – a Gujarati Magazine definitely falls into this category. The October 2017 issue of Safari reached the news-stands a couple of days late this month. It is the Diwali issue so it contains almost double the reading material (100 pages) compared to ... Read More »

We look forward eagerly to the latest issue of Safari every month, as we know that there is always something new to know and learn from it. And, here comes September 2017 issue of it which doesn't disappoint. The Cover Page: First thing first, the cover page of any magazine or ... Read More »
Safari Magazine | Gujarati Edition | August 2017 Issue | Views And Reviews
While there are thousands of magazines published every month, not all of them are worth money and time to spend after based on one's interests and favourite topics. Also, the substance in the content is very important. Entertainment oriented magazines are good to refresh the mood and kill time, but ultimately, science and knowledge oriented magazines are actually worth the time we spend for it. Safari is one such magazine and thus I am eagerly waiting for its latest issue every month. So here are my personal views and reviews for the August 2017 issue of Safari, a Gujarati magazine. ...

Is John Kasich the Jon Huntsman of 2016 in New Hampshire?
If you were to take an average Republican not in New Hampshire and ask them who came in 3rd in the 2012 primary with almost 42K votes, most would think it was Ron Paul (who came in 2nd), Rick Santorum, or Newt Gingrich. Those were the three who were standing the longest against Mitt Romney before he officially earned the nomination. It may surprise Republicans outside of New Hampshire to know that Jon Huntsman came in a relatively close 3rd with 17% of the vote compared to Paul who had 23%.
The former Utah Governor put all of his eggs in the New Hampshire basket and was rewarded with a respectable 3rd-place finish. It wasn't enough to continue his campaign, though, and he ended his campaign six days later, endorsing eventual nominee Romney.
This narrative seems to be shaping up again in New Hamsphire as another moderate Republican governor is making an unlikely push in the state. Ohio Governor John Kasich, who is way behind on the national polls, seems poised to finish in the top three or four. Part of this is due to his all-in attitude in New Hampshire. He's put the bulk of his campaign focus on winning the state and using the momentum to prolong his candidacy until the winner-take-all March 15 Ohio primary.
The other thing in his favor is Florida Senator Marco Rubio's debacle of a performance at the New Hampshire GOP debate during which he repeated the same memorized talking point four times. He was called out for it by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and both traditional media and social media took notice.
Here's the problem. Kasich really doesn't have a chance. As much as his supporters seem to like him, he's not a candidate that can carry the moderate mantle to victory. None of them can. Regardless of what pundits and spindoctors are saying, this has come down to a three-man race between Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Rubio. With Rubio likely to hit the "SEC Primaries" without a single win now that he muffed this important debate, it's very likely down to a two-man race.
Kasich is another Hunstman. He's there to block the frontrunners from getting enough early delegates to put the race away. With the way the race is shaping, it's likely that a vote for Kasich is actually a vote for Trump. Those who are supporting Kasich or considering Rubio who do not want to see a Trump nomination should be backing Cruz instead.
As Huntsman had a respectable showing in 2012 before dropping out and wasting many New Hampshire votes, so too will Kasich likely finish third or fourth before dropping out. Looking at the math, a vote for Kasich or Rubio in New Hampshire will benefit Trump the most.

If you are looking for a quiet stopover that is off the beaten path, you may want to schedule a stop at Stuart Island during your charter. It is not serviced by any of the ferries, and there are very few residents, so you are guaranteed a peaceful stay at the island. There are two sheltered bays with public moorage to choose from. Prevost Harbor, on the northeastern side of the island, features 7 offshore buoys and 256 feet of dock. Reid Harbor's entrance is on the southeastern side of the island. It offers 15 offshore buoys and 572 feet of dock space spread over 3 different docks, two of which are offshore. Potable water and pit toilets are available on the island. Either of these harbors allows easy access to Stuart Island State Park. The park features 3.5 miles of hiking trails as well as access to fishing, clamming, and crabbing. The park is an access point to the island's only road. Since there are no cars on the island and because the road is nothing more than packed dirt, it makes an excellent walking trail for visitors who would like to venture beyond the park and see more of the island. At the northwestern tip of Stuart Island stands the Turn Point Lighthouse, part of the San Juan Islands National Monument. The lighthouse has been in operation since 1893 and has been automated since 1974. In addition to guiding boat traffic through Haro Strait, the lighthouse is also used by the University of Washington as a site for studying migrating orcas. If you have the time, stay a while and watch over the Strait to see if you can spot any of the orcas yourself! After exploring the lighthouse, also make sure to stop by the Teacherage Museum, a one-room schoolhouse original to the island.
Lastly, on your way back to your boat, you may come across a wooden chest along the trail that is stocked with souvenirs and t-shirts. You may be surprised to find out that this is the only "store" on Stuart Island. The chest is regularly stocked by a local family. Envelopes are available for you to mail payment for the items you'd like to take with you, and it operates on the honor system.

- Cedar Hill Museum >
- Author: Curator
Chris Rose, D.V.M., a graduate of Texas A & M University, has served pets and owners in Cedar Hill for 28 years. Many remember the small house on Texas Street where he opened his veterinary practice, Central Animal Clinic. In 2004 the practice was moved to its current location at Highway 67 and Beltline Road.
Dr. Rose was Mayor (1991-96) and Councilman to Cedar Hill and has served on numerous city, school and civic committees. He and the clinic have been involved as sponsors of the Pet Show at Country Day on the Hill which is always well attended and enjoyed. He serves on the board of the Tri-City Animal Shelter and works closely with them in meeting the needs of many pets.
Dr. Rose has seen this small community grow into a thriving city in which he's proud to have been a part. His wife, Diane, is an elementary teacher and has been with the Cedar Hill ISD for 19 years.
Our community is blessed Chris and family call Cedar Hill home.
The history of Cedar Hill is no mystery to Dr. Joe Potter. In 1865 the Potter history began in Cedar Hill and has continued through today. Reared in Cedar Hill when there were only about 300 people in town, and with a heritage of grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, it was only natural that Dr. Potter would grow up loving this community.
Family businesses were in his blood working in his fathers lumber yard and before that his grandmother's downtown grocery. In those days, you knew everyone and everyone knew you.
So when it came time to settle down after college and dental school, the only place Dr. Potter could choose to set up his practice was Cedar Hill. This was no surprise to his friends since they had often heard him refer to Cedar Hill as the "hub of the universe". And so it began….thirty nine years of practicing dentistry and serving the people of the community he cares for so much.
He and his wife, Sylvia, set up their home in Cedar Hill. Sylvia taught for seven years at Bray and Plummer Elementary Schools following in the footsteps of Dr. Potter's mother who taught here for 25 years. They and their children, Clay aand Claire, have many happy memories of attending church at Cedar Hill Church of Christ where Dr. Potter was a Deacon, enjoying the lifestyle of Cedar Hill through city activities like Country Day on the Hill and establishing lifetime friendships both new and old. They have always considered it a beautiful place, much like the hill country around Austin.
Dr. Potter invested both his time and belief in the city of Cedar Hill as a wonderful place to live. He served on the City Council from 1980-1984 and was on the board of Directors for the Cedar Hill National Bank. In 1976, he and Dr. Clark built their first office together moving from the old bank building downtown. It was during those next years that Dr. Potter went on to serve as President of the Chamber of Commerce, Sec/Treasurer of the Chamber, Chairman of both the American Heart Assoc.of Cedar Hill and the United Way of Cedar Hill.
When Lake Joe Pool was being considered, Dr. Potter attended a Senate/House Subcommittee on Appropriations meeting in Washington, DC representing the citizens of Cedar Hill. A favorite keepsake is the picture of Dr. Potter and his son standing in the dry lake bottom the day the dam was dedicated.
Today Dr. Potter practices dentistry in his newest investment in the community, his new office on Belt Line Road. The office was built with the belief that the people of Cedar Hill will continue to care for and support each other. And so, the history continues.
Cedar Hill is blessed the Potter family continues to make Cedar Hill their home.

Brenda is greatly loved and appreciated by the entire community.
Archie Hall was born and raised in Dallas. During the 1930's when he was young he came to Cedar Hill with his parents to visit a friend. He always remembered how beautiful it was and in 1947 he bought some property on the west side on the edge of the escarpment. He loves Cedar Hill's beauty and small town closeness.
In 1950, while he was an engineer with Vought Aircraft in Grand Prairie, he designed and built his first home in Cedar Hill (population 1250 at the time). One entire wall was glass panels overlooking the valley. Word got around that a night club was being built and there was grave concern of dancing and gambling.
Arch is a member of the Cedar Hill First United Methodist Church and has two daughters, one son and several grand and great grand children. Arch and his wife, Amanda, opened A & A Real Estate in 1972. He promoted Cedar Hill at the National Association of Builders where all were amazed the beautiful Valley was here in the Dallas area. In 1984 they bought the building at the southwest corner of Cedar & Broad in the old town square to operate the realty business. This had been the home of Shorty Hood's BBQ for many years.
Arch was instrumental in halting the effort to turn 1200 acres on the west side of Cedar Hill into a seven city landfill. It is now Lake Ridge Estates. He went on to become President of the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor of Cedar Hill, chairman of Planning and Zoning, Highway 67 Transportation Committee rep and Chairman of the 1984 Comprehensive Plan.
Arch enjoys life in Cedar Hill and the many friendships he has developed. There is not much about Cedar Hill he can't tell you….from the escarpment, towers, lake, growth, preservation to Country Day. Shortly after Amanda passed away, Arch semi-retired and sold the business to Clark Stephenson. Celebrating its 30th year in operation in 2011 the business was moved to 909 W. Belt Line. Thank you to Arch Hall for being such a great citizen and community activist in Cedar Hill.
Cedar Hill, first known as the cedar brakes, was founded around 1846 by a small group of settlers from the Peters Colony. They traveled to the Dallas area of North Texas on horseback and by ox-drawn wagon following trails beaten into existence by Indians, buffalo and explorers. They came seeking a place to build their homes, to socialize, worship and conduct business.
Attracted to the area by its lush natural beauty, the elevation and rocky slopes provided settlers a panoramic lookout and protection from intruders. The area also offered dense forests, rich Blackland soil, abundant creeks and streams, and opportunity.
Our forefathers turned this rugged territory into the thriving city it is today through hard work, ingenuity, foresight and sheer determination — a city steeped in family values, tradition and rich in history. See our page on the City of Cedar Hill website.

He and his wife, Elizabeth, who was raised in Duncanville, have been active in the First United Methodist Church for many years. His daughter and family reside in Midlothian and son and family in Dallas. Shortly after the much loved Elizabeth moved to a retirement home with alzheimers, Frank's brother from Houston moved to Cedar Hill.
Our community is priviliged to have the Frank Crawford family call Cedar Hill home.

Shirley Switzer Hendricks was born in Dallas in 1946, and grew up in Oak Cliff graduating in 1964. She attended cosmetology school during high school, received a hair dresser license in 1969 and worked in that capacity for a few years. She married, had two children and worked several jobs in the Dallas area.
In 1979 she re-married a "Cedar Hill Boy", Jerry Hendricks. In 1983 they built a home on the homestead of her paternal grandparents on Houston St. (legally called "Original Town"). In the 1940's her grandfather, "Cat" Switzer, was the first volunteer fire chief in Cedar Hill. Shirley's grandmother, Vester, helped organize the "Women's Firefighters Auxiliary" group that assisted the firemen by bringing food and drinks to the men as they fought fires. They also helped homeless families with clothing, food and temporary housing.
Shirley's paternal family continues back to the 1860's, with some of the early settlers living in a cave on the west side of the escarpment when they first arrived in the area. Jerry is a member of the A. A. Hendricks family that settled in Cedar Hill in the 1840's. A. A. Hendricks had a business in Old Town making farm equipment. This town is definitely in both of their heritages making Cedar Hill feel just like home.
Shirley worked for the Cedar Hill Schools for eight years as manager in the Food Service Dept. In 1996 she purchased "The Gingerbread House" restaurant and developed the "Bed & Breakfast" upstairs in the 1884 R. A. Roberts home on Broad Street. The Roberts home has two historical markers, one for the house and one for the community development of the railroad by Dr. R. A. Roberts.
Shirley worked as a labor of love for two and one-half years compiling, editing and helping write the Cedar Hill History Book which was published in 2001. The book is over 400 pages with more than 650 photos. The book was written and published for the historic education of the citizens of Cedar Hill and as a fund raising project for the Cedar Hill Historical Society which evolved into the Cedar Hill Museum of History. Copies of the history book are still available through the Museum or the Library. She worked on several boards for the city and serves as a historian for Cedar Hill.
We are especially proud Shirley and her family continue to make Cedar Hill home.

Watch Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato share a high-five moment at the Teen Choice Awards in this Vine video captured at the event. Demi was seen sitting next to Nick Jonas and hanging out with Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.
By now you know that Demi Lovato was sitting with Nick Jonas and the Jonas Brothers at the Teen Choice Awards, but new footage is popping up.
In addition to Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus having a reunion with Demi, Joe and Kevin (see the video here), a celeb sitting in their section captured Vine video of Demi and Joe sharing a moment.
The Vampire Diaries star Steven R. McQueen snagged this fun Vine video that shows Joe and Demi in a high-five slap!
We have no idea what that moment was about, but it's definitely nice to see they're friendly, given their history.
Demi's Jonas love continued after the show, when she sent out a series of tweets, writing: "Congrats to my buddy @NickJonas on winning the Acuvue Inspire Award!"
When Joe tweeted a pic of himself photobombing Demi and Nick, she tweeted: "Love!!!! so much fun."

What better day to launch a personal website than on your birthday! It really makes remembering pivotal moments a cakewalk, if you schedule them all to be on the same day. That's the formula for success, right there. Works even better if you were born on a holiday, or even MORE better if you were born on ALL the holidays. In which case, you're either extremely lucky, or you REALLY hate that one day a year. Also you apparently can bend time, and reshape calendars. You are now a superhero.
I've tried my best to make this site as user-friendly as possible, with easy-to-understand navigation and concise article excerpts. Comments on articles are enabled through Facebook, which grants you an easy way to tell your friends the insights you have (and the oversights I have) on any given post. (For those of you who DON'T want all of Facebook to see your witty repartee, unclicking the "Post to Facebook" button should keep your comment hidden from Facebook's view. But at that point…why? Don't you agree with your own opinion? No judgment, just puzzlement.) Each article has a brief overview of the category in which it resides, allowing you to spread anything you like to almost any site you like, without the fear that your friends won't understand the context. I've even enabled Tumblr functionality, despite my (extremely loud and unpopular) opinions on it. I'm beginning to come around on that, actually. Maybe Tumblr isn't that bad. We'll see.
Huh. Come to think of it, I don't know your temperament. Maybe you are now a supervillain. For your sake, if supervillainy is your chosen route, I hope you're one of the really effective ones, who takes over the world and increases general happiness through your dominion, and not the kind who's just a petty jerk. 40 cakes, and all that.
Speaking of being a jerk, I request that you not be one while you're here, if you can avoid it. Opinions are ESSENTIAL to being a human being, and discussing differing ones can be a THOROUGHLY uplifting experience. I am totes in favor of opinions; I wouldn't speak in hyperbole all the time (see what I did there?) if I didn't expect people to call me on it every now and again. If you're on this site, then you probably have something in common with whomever you are disagreeing with; specifically, you're interested in looking at topics from a variety of perspectives. Dissing someone in the comments to make yourself feel smarter is kinda going against the whole principle, here. Debate, but have some respect for each other. You've all probably earned some, you know?
And if you DO steal 40 cakes, which I am in no way recommending or endorsing, you should totally share. It IS my birthday, after all.

Marine Rescue Technologies Introduces MusterGuard
Marine Rescue Technologies released MusterGuard for use in oil rigs, SOLAS vessels, petroleum and chemical plants. The MusterGuard system was designed in response to the recent Deep Water Horizon disaster and recent chemical plant explosions worldwide. The MusterGuard provides automated real time accounting of personnel during an emergency evacuation and or during a muster drill. The muster drill, reports and record keeping are mandatory maritime requirements.
The MusterGuard provides a list of personnel on board (POB) or personnel on premise, including key data, trade certificates, cabin number, work area and primary duties during an evacuation or muster drill. At check in point the muster officer and captain get a real time report of who is expected, who is missing, and who has shown up at the wrong station. In the event that first responders are called in, management can direct them to the work areas or cabin numbers of missing personnel.
The IT based system installs on a standard local area network and uses standard communication protocols. The system devices include standard readers (proximity, RFID, etc), PC's, laptops, and servers, all network addressable. Systems are often installed by the end user, using industry standard network installation practices.
The MusterGuard reports, detailing all personnel on board, muster drill results and exception reports, are instantaneous. The reports provide management with the benchmarks for acceptance and exception reports identifying areas where management can take pro-active measures to improving the efficiency of future drills. In capital intensive industries, any loss of production time is expensive. The MusterGuard system expedites the emergency drill and allows personnel to resume normal operations sooner.
