Ghastly Golghota Joins the Kickstarter for Warzone Resurrection
March 28, 2013 by dracs
The world of Mutant Chronicles is inhabited by all manner of strange and disturbing denizens and few embody this more than the latest add-on option for the Warzone Resurrection kickstarter. Meet the ghastly, gorgeous Golghota.
This figure seems to strike a good balance between seductive beauty and arachnid horror, going together to make a rather disturbing miniature. It's hard to tell whether she is wearing that chitinous armour or if it is part of her skin.
The pose is OK, but I really do like the way she is framed by those reaching spider legs. They really make the miniature appear as truly menacing.
Are any of you suffering from arachnophobia? Well head to the kickstarter anyway and face your fears.

Slim Chance is a low-calorie light beer offering from Redhook Brewery in New Hampshire. I'm going to have to take a different approach to reviewing this beer, as the target market for this beer is MUCH different from the beers I typically review.
It's a light beer, and it acts/smells/tastes like on. Given that, let's compare it to other light beers:
Calories: 125
Analysis: Higher than competition-
Bud Light: 110
Coors light: 104
Michelob Light: 113
Miller Lite: 96
Analysis: Weaker than competition-
Bud Light: 4.2%
Coors light: 4.15%
Michelob Light: 4.3%
Miller Lite: 4.2%
I do appreciate that a smaller brewery is trying to compete in the light beer market with the "big boys". That said, from a business perspective, it appears that the Slim Chance isn't matching up. From my tasting, it's indistinguishable from other light beers. Goes down like water…probably because it's mostly water.

Belief In Self: 5 Ways To Create Belief
(Issue 46)
By Diane Gold
How to create belief in self is something we usually don't talk about. We talk about believing. We talk about belief systems. We talk about how people who are successful have belief in self. We talk about people without belief falling into dark holes. We also talk about their digging themselves out when some belief shows up. But it's uncommon to hear about what steps were taken to create belief.
In the martial arts, we are given a method to build ourselves into warriors of peace. The method is a systematic approach to understanding. The same is taught when learning music, dance, meditation, science, philosophy, religion, medicine, sports, language and any other discipline that exists. So, if we can learn other disciplines, why not be able to learn about belief?
(Anecdote: This reminds me of myself in college. I was part way between my finishing in music ed and starting in music therapy, and I thought about doing a PhD. I always wanted to have one so I could be called doctor. (We can be shallow at the same time that we have some depth.) I also really wanted to study whether there were a method to teach rhythm and pitch. That hasn't happened yet, but I was reminded of my believing I could prove some such mechanism that is now being studied through central pattern generators in the neural network.)
We are the directors of our own movie as well as the main actor. We can will ourselves to prepare our face, our voice, our mind, our body to be a confident, capable, skilled competent person we are with with full ability to achieve, to resist what we want and to choose whatever we want.
When we do this, we may not see ourselves as confident. We may not feel that we are confident in this belief we are throwing on ourselves. But many other humans have achieved belief in themselves using these methods.
Tell the mind it is time for you.
Tell the mind you will succeed.
Be brave.

Click the image below for a helping hand.
Rejuvenate with 1 minute of silent standing, devices turned off, preferably in an alone space, but not essential.
Whatever our circumstance, however far we feel away from believing in ourselves; standing still will rejuvenate us. So that's the beginning.
Standing, put the feet together with arms hanging down at sides.
Stand still, and close your eyes.
Lower the chin a tiny bit, so that the back of the neck is not pinched.
Slowly let a smile come to the lips.
If it wants to turn into a giant grin, let it.
It if makes you feel like laughing, go ahead.
We have all felt ourselves straighten up a little bit, walk a little straighter when we want to impress a prospective employer or romantic interest. Posture is crucial in creating belief. When we pull up from the top of the head, notice the straightness of our spine and deliberately become more aware of not slouching; we feel more confident, our respiration is fuller so we actually get more oxygen to our lungs and take the pressure off our muscles to get it there. Our speech is clearer, and we sometimes feel a bit of endorphins when we straighten up.
Straighten the posture on a regular basis. At least 3 conscious times a day. You'll be glad you did.
Tell yourself you believe in you!
Go to a mirror with the attitude that you want to believe in yourself. On your way to get the mirror if it's a hand mirror, or to the location of a wall mirror; strengthen the posture concept by remembering to straighten yourself, at least, throughout this mirror segment of the exercise.
Look in the mirror.
Say the words,
"I believe in me,"
10 different ways, with a smile on your face and love (for yourself) in your heart.
Get an outside cheerleader!
Get a cheerleader.
If you have a friend, ask the friend to tell you she believes in you with the words,
"You can do it."
This is very personal work. If you find you don't have the kind of friend you can ask, be happy and go watch this video for a little support: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ2HcRl4wSk . It might also help to go tell someone like the video store clerk, the bagel store clerk, the postwoman, a stranger.
The secret ingredients to belief are CONSISTENCY, REPETITION, FOLLOW THROUGH. Just as with any process, the more familiar we get with it, the more we become it. Creating belief is not an easy task. But it will empower us regularly to create, help others, be productive and feel good.
One last memory from both music and martial arts training is that it takes a good 20 years to learn a craft, a process, become stable, understand a personal destiny. Belief in self is something one becomes familiar with in time. Just like learning a language, learning hip-hop, becoming proficient at sobriety, becoming comfortable with any change in habit; creating belief is a life-changing process that filters in with work. It is a way of being that needs cultivation. Once it shows its face in our lives, we will be motivated to keep it alive. Don't take it for granted, and remember to nurture it.
Whatever lies ahead, the time to start creating belief is now. It's worth the pursuit and will accompany you wherever you go once it is created.

She believes we can create our path and create along the path and that that lesson is one for every student in every school. Diane says,
"As powerful as our minds are, we should certainly have a required class in the concept of belief, not the philosophical discussion of different beliefs, but the mechanism of how to reach self-belief. We look for it. It grounds us. It drives us, and it heals us. If we all understood that we could develop it, our lives would be fuller, and we'd be more available to better our world."

The new guidance is set at a range of $2.95 to $3.05 per basic share and comes as NJR reports a 14.7 percent increase in earnings for the first half of its fiscal year.
"Raising our earnings guidance a second time affirms that we are on track to achieve our 16th year of increased earnings, the longest current streak in our industry," said Laurence M. Downes, chairman and CEO of NJR.
NJRES, the company's wholesale energy services subsidiary, saw a 31 percent increase in earnings for the first six months of fiscal 2007 due mainly to its ability to take advantage of market pricing conditions, which were primarily weather driven, thereby improving its existing natural gas portfolio positions. Additionally, NJNG's earnings over the same period have increased due to customer growth and the impact of the Conservation Incentive Program (CIP).
"NJRES delivered another quarter of strong results for the company. The expertise of our employees continues to drive strong performance throughout the company," said Downes. "The implementation of the CIP at NJNG is allowing us to align the interests of our various stakeholders. As the program continues, we will look for even more creative ways to help our customers lower their natural gas usage while maintaining value for our shareowners."
During the quarter, NJR also became the first utility in the state to embrace Governor Jon Corzine's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 20 percent by 2020. In addition, NJNG led the state and ranked second in the eastern region in business customer satisfaction according to J.D. Power and Associates.
Financial and operating highlights during the quarter included:
Fiscal 2007 Earnings Guidance
Assuming the continued positive impact of the CIP, stable economic conditions, continued customer growth at NJNG, continued volatility in the wholesale natural gas markets affecting NJRES and subject to the factors discussed below under "Forward-Looking Statements," NJR is increasing its earnings estimate for fiscal 2007 by $.05 for the second consecutive quarter. The new earnings guidance for fiscal 2007 is a range of $2.95 to $3.05 per basic share.

The Encanto Land Trust preserves rapidly diminishing rainforest while securing a sustainable future for generations to come.
The mission of the Encanto Land Trust is to preserve areas adjacent to Corcovado, the largest remaining rainforest in Central America, include local population as stewards, while providing an educational center and learning tools for scientists, educators, students, and volunteers.
In addition to preserving an area currently threatened with over development in a manner detrimental to the ecological balance of the region, our intention is to preserve these areas in a manner which integrates with the existing community. This involves including adjacent to villages to allow for stewardship to develop and maintain accessibility of resources.
With proper planning we can avoid displacement of the local population by providing access to resources for sustainable farming, and develop income strategy for economic sustainability for local population. These would include permaculture farming, local guides, eco-tourism providing food, shelter (home stay in addition to eco-lodge), entertainment, art and activities to visitors.
Long term planning involves Encanto Land Trust which contains an education center, self-sustaining eco-lodge for tourists, other lodging resources for scientist, educators, visitors, and conservation groups in the region and ties-in with existing conservation organizations and efforts already in place..

'Best Destination Spa'

Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa, nestled in the Mineral Springs Reserve near picturesque Hepburn Springs and Daylesford in Victoria, has recently taken out the title for Best Destination Spa at the 2009 Annual Australian Travel & Tourism Awards published in The Weekend Australian on 19th February 2010.
The Australian newspaper in association with The Weekend Australian's Travel & Indulgence section hold the awards each year to bring together consumers and operators in recognition of great Australian travel and tourism products and services.
Readers of The Weekend Australian were asked to vote in 17 hotly contested categories and select from 103 of the best contenders. Categories cover such areas as accommodation, family-focused tourism, food and wine experiences, destination spas, tour operators and other integral components of the domestic travel and tourism industry. Finalists were compiled by a panel of travel media experts and writers.
The Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa was competing against the best destination spas across Australia.Nominations included Salus Spa, Lake House, Vic (2008 winner); Ikatan Balinese Day Spa, Noosa, Qld; Injidup Spa Retreat, Margaret River, WA; LeSpa at Sofitel Mansion & Spa, Werribee Park, Vic; and Spa Qualia, Hamilton Island, Qld.

Ellen DeGeneres copies Kim Kardashian's naked butt photo for her Christmas card
Here's one gift we didn't expect to get this Christmas.
"This is the time of year when you have to order your holiday cards," Ellen Degeneres explained while unveiling the card on her show. "Here's the second one we've come up with...It says, 'Happy Holidays...And a Shiny New Year.'"
The card features Ellen and wife Portia De Rossi copying Kim Kardashian's naked cover shot for Paper. "Shiny New Year." Get it? Like shiny new rear? Very clever, Ellen. Veeery clever.
NEWS: Kris Humphries reacts to Kim Kardashian's naked cover
Nailed it! Who knew Ellen and Portia had all that junk in the trunk?
While the brains behind Kim's Paper photo shoot say she wasn't Photoshopped (as in: All of that is her real butt!), we're guessing Ellen and Portia won't try to claim the same.
(For those who may not have figured it out yet, the card is completely photoshopped. They just digitally added their heads to Kim's naked body. Welcome to the future!)
PHOTOS: All of Kim Kardashian's Sexiest, Scantily-Clad Selfies
This isn't the first time Ellen drew inspiration from naked Kim Kardashian for her holiday card. Last year, Ellen and Portia copied Kim's topless motorcycle ride with Kanye West in his "Bound 2" video for their yuletide greetings.
Basically, any time Kim gets naked in 2015, remember it. Because you can bet your (naked, champagne-soaked, apparently not photoshopped) butt that Ellen will come Christmas time.

The law does not mandate work-life balance," nor does it "require companies to ignore and stop valuing ultimate dedication, however unhealthy that may be for family life," said Judge Preska this summer regarding the Bloomberg discrimination against pregnant and working mothers case.
"There's no such thing as work-life balance," Mr. Welch told the Society for Human Resource Management's Conference a few years ago. "There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences."
"Once you get off the escalator, you don't get back on," said my investor relations professor in graduate school, to a room filled with 20-something women who were eager to achieve career success and planned on eventually having children. We all looked nervously at each other after hearing what this woman, a wildly successfully IR PR professional for a Fortune 500 company, a Northwestern University graduate school professor and mother, had to say to us so very bluntly. Could she be right, we all worried?
Each of these statements are harsh, unforgiving, blunt and brutal. But are they wrong? Among the world of Type A, educated, successful, intelligent women, in this eternal quest for "balance" and "juggling" – are we creating expectations that just aren't realistic?
Balance implies equal parts, right? Juggling, well aside from the fact that creepy circus clowns are the only people who actually juggle, isn't the idea of juggling meant to be fun? You've mastered a sport, you are having fun, you are showing off your talents. Do any of these things sound remotely like what it is like to have a career and a family?
Not in my experience.
Welch might hail from an 80s-era business philosophy of good-old boys and face-time in the office, things that we are slowly chipping away at with time and technology but is his statement actually antiquated and incorrect? I don't think so. We individually decided to have children knowing that it would change our lives forever and dramatically. And from my almost 6 years in, the biggest consequence is not the lack of sleep, the unwanted lines appearing on my face, the amount of time I've spent cleaning hynies or even having to say that word, or wasted hours watching the same "Backyardigans" episode on repeat. The biggest consequence is the fundamental change in my career.
But I don't view it as a permanent one or that I've been victimized in the work place. I actually disagree with my grad school professor that once you get off the escalator you can't get back on. But it would be naive for me to think I'd get back on in the same spot and continue on the same path. The thing is, if I wanted that, I wouldn't have stepped off.
Ultimately, we can "mommy track" ourselves and have more time to see our kids after school, take them to playdates, get them to the doctors when they are sick, volunteer in class and all these other things that happen during the business day. What I don't understand is why this is viewed as a bad thing instead of the reality of choosing to create more time for our kids, to the detriment of our career.
Or, we can remain on the upward trajectory of high-achieving business success, the kind that shatters glass ceilings. And in making that choice, we know that someone else will spend more time raising our children than we are. But that is our decision. I guess what I'm saying is I don't disagree with Welch and I don't disagree with Judge Preska. Ask someone without children how they feel about working parents getting promoted above them if the working parent spends fewer hours in the office, travels less, and comes in late more? Those people don't care about our reasons because we decided to have the family.
The good news is I think that we don't need to be making final and ultimate decisions right now. I think the work place has evolved into an arena where you can stay in the game, take on less, but in time, ramp back up. I think that instead of spending our time on this eternal quest for the shangri-la of motherhood, the ultimate in work-life balance, we need to do what we talked about a few weeks ago -see the whole picture – see that there are ebbs and flows to life and own our decisions, be proud of them, and be at peace with the consequences of them. So may of us have periods of work intensity but perhaps it can follow with a period that is more family focused, we can get promoted but then maybe we want to remain at that level for longer than our pre-children selves imagined we would. We can try to stay home, realize we don't like it, and return to work with more vigor and dedication than we had before but with a peace of mind that we are proud of this decision because we've tried the other way. We step off the escalator and let our future selves worry about how and when we get back on, knowing the financial implications this brings to our household.
I firmly believe that what makes you "supermom" is owning your decision, recognizing the consequences and accepting the reality that you can't give it all to both. "Balance" is for the birds, as my mom would say. Own it, be realistic about the consequences, realize life constantly changes and be proud of it.

Kevin Hart sneaks into David Beckham's bed in H&M Modern Essentials film
"I'm watching you! I'm not. I am," says Kevin Hart
Our Monday pick-me-up comes in the form of H&M's newly released Modern Essentials campaign video which features David Beckham and funny man Kevin Hart.
In the short film, Kevin shadows David for a week, trying to walk, talk and behave like him for a project called I, Beckham: The Movie. The two are seen spending some "quality time" together as Kevin follows David around to shoots, workout sessions and even joins him for tea, much to David's chagrin.
From trying to sneak into the former footballer's bed at night to using his toothbrush, Kevin clearly oversteps his boundaries. Thankfully, David is a good-natured guy and tries his best to be patient.
We think the two have amazing bromance together; even Kevin thinks so. "The thing that David and I have in common is sexiness. It comes naturally to me," he told H&M. Whatever you say, Kev.
The H&M Modern Essentials Selected by David Beckham collection is slated for release on 1 October this year.

The highlight of my weekend mail was the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum Newsletter. Each month I scan their listings looking for goodies. Lately they've been experimenting with their offerings. They used to hold screenings only on Saturdays, and they've expanded to Sundays and even the odd Friday. They're also veering away from movies mostly from the teens and early twenties. Now there are even some sound films on their schedule.
Here's my pick of the month from their offerings:
The Pre-Code Follies
Friday, January 30 at 8:30 PM
Edison Theater
37417 Niles Blvd, Niles (Fremont), CA
Suggested Donation $9
Get royally bent and inspired with Busby Berkeley clips, lecherous 1930s comedy shorts, Cab Calloway, salacious soundies, Betty Boop cartoons and more, hosted by the fabulous Kitten on the Keys. Enjoy a great evening of music, comedy and outrageous classic movie fun.
I imagine cartoons like the following on the programming.

There is a wrong in the Carroll County statutes that needs to be made right. Personal property tax is being levied on vehicles that are no longer registered or garaged in Carroll County.
Those who move from Carroll County must pay personal property tax in their new county before their vehicles can be registered. Yet Carroll County levies the full year of tax on those same vehicles if they were registered in the county on Jan. 1.
On Nov. 6, 2012, the people of the United States made the worst and most deadly decision in the history of the country.
Our Founding Fathers based this country's foundation on God's word.
Then the people put back in office a so-called Christian president, Obama. This was a complete slap in God's face.
The two strongest abominations were upheld. They are abortion, which is the murder of innocent children, and the backing of homosexuals.
Do you think God is going to bless us now? Not by a long shot.
I would like to express my appreciation toward the wonderful mission of supplying food to less fortunate children that the Galax Backpack Buddies Program and that all Backpack Buddies Programs take on.
My family and I volunteer with Galax Backpack Buddies so I get to witness firsthand the efforts put on by the numerous volunteers each week.
Volunteers pack and deliver the backpacks to the Galax schools by hand.
On behalf of all the third-shift associates at the Galax Walmart Supercenter, I thank the following local businesses for contributions to help raise funds for this year's Angel Tree project:
Blue Ridge Lanes, Porky's, County Line Café, Bojangle's, Rio Grande, RJ's Pizza, Ciro's of Galax, Tony's Brick Oven Pizza, Stingray's, Pizza Plus, Arby's, Jasper Lures, plus many individual gifts.
With this support we were able to sponsor six angels as opposed to the four we normally help.

The Carroll County administrator's response to Supervisor Bob Martin's effort to end the conflict of interest controversy was disturbing.
Little things, like Mr. Larrowe referring to events as recent as 2010 as occurring "many, many years ago."
And big things, like his statement: "I… hate that some people have jumped off the team, and that is disappointing to me, Mr. Martin."
What "team" did he mean — the Larrowe support team?

James Cameron may have directed 1986 sci-fi classic 'Aliens,' but that doesn't mean he supports what has followed.
Rights to the original Terminator film revert to him in 2019, and the director wants to work with 'Deadpool's' Tim Miller to make something happen.
Worldwide box office now makes the Star Wars film the 27th highest-grossing film of all time.
And I don't blame her.
Stop it. Please. Just stop it.
Is this the weirdest movie/game mash-up ever?
The director of the original 'Terminator' films gives a positive reaction to the new effort in an officially released featurette.

Brian Bell stops by to drop some opinions, SPOILERS BE DAMNED!

Paramount plans to stretch out the Terminator franchise until the possibility of Skynet taking over becomes a reality.
He'll be back on July 1st, 2015.

Let's hope he puts these to use with Avatar 2, 3, and 4.
This is amazing news!

Looking for something decent to watch while you wait for those 'I Survived 2016' t-shirts to arrive? Something suitably entertaining and thrilling to see out a bad year on a high? Then try these….
The much maligned TV Movie turned out a number of classics during its 70s/80s prime. Now Headpress has recently given the phenomena the attention it so richly deserves in a cracking new book Are You in the House Alone? A TV Movie Compendium 1964-1999 edited by Amanda Reyes.
Here, exclusively for Dangerous Minds, Reyes has selected six standout classic examples of the genre—and has provided a little introductory commentary too. The list include credits from the likes of none other than a young Steven Spielberg, Dennis Weaver, Valerie Harper and Charles Durning. And they're all classics.
But best of all—you can view most of them right here right now. So without further ado, here's Amanda to tell you about our first little feature…
1. Duel (1971)
Amanda Reyes: Duel is the ultimate Movie of the Week. It was an early directing job for Steven Spielberg and he shows off some amazing directing skills in this tale about a man being chased by a creepy semi across a desert highway.
Everything is simple, pure and absolutely petrifying. Dennis Weaver plays the man on the run, and turns in an excellent performance. The script was written by the great Richard Matheson, and there's not much I can say about this one except it's very near perfect on every level.
Watch more classic TV movies, after the jump…

The shelf life of 8mm, Super 8 & 16mm film is anywhere from 40-80 years, dependent mainly on how the film is stored. If you have kept your movie film in a cool, dry environment, that will give you a longer shelf life of say keeping it in a damp & hot environment.
Top 5 worst places we get film from:
1. Hawaii
2. Louisiana
3. Florida
4. Alabama
5. Georgia
The best place to store your film believe it or not is in a freezer!
Also when film goes bad, it smells of vinegar.
Below are videos showing you what film looks like when it physically deteriorates and also film that's been eaten by a projector. In these cases, the chance of a successful transfer is limited.

Setting career goals is a difficult task and there are a
number of factors to consider when you are first starting out or planning a career change.
When you are starting out in your career or contemplating
entering a new one and begin goal setting to plan your future employment, you need to define exactly what success
That is, what success means to you, not your
parents, friends or the rest of society.
Goal setting isn't part of the college curriculum and so when
we leave school for our first job, we often focus on one goal - making money.
Not that there is anything wrong with that - a good salary is
important when it comes to being able to afford a decent lifestyle, without having to worry about bills, but your
pay packet is not the only thing to think about when deciding on your career - career success is about a lot more
than financial security.
We usually think of a successful career as being one in which
we have influence and wealth, one in which there are exams to pass, and a career ladder to scale. The the faster we
reach the top of that ladder, the better we consider ourselves to be.
However, it's important to be clear about your long-term
goals and priorities. Successful goal setting for your career also takes into account every aspect of your life
including any emotional, spiritual and personal goals you might have.
Career success is not just about doing well or making money.
For example, if you are currently single, you might want to have kids and therefore spending time with family would
be important.
Or it could be that you already have a family and want to
have to a different career so that you are in a better position to provide them with what they
Do you want to see the world, visit countries you've only
dreamt of perhaps even work there for a while? Do you want to live abroad one day?
Perhaps you feel that a different country would offer a
better lifestyle for your family, with a more pleasant climate, better education and more interesting job
opportunities? Your career choice could look very different if you took all of these factors into
Or do you want to get involved in sports, follow an interest
by studying a subject you love, cultivate a talent in writing, acting or music? You might want to downsize or
retire early so that you can do something you've always wanted to do, like write a novel or study animals in the
So don't forget that successful goal setting needs to include
all your dreams. There are times, of course, when you may have to make sacrifices, especially in the early stages
of a new career, when you are obliged to work extremely hard just to qualify.
However, you need to ensure that this work pattern doesn't go
on for any longer than strictly necessary or you could find yourself really out of balance, a situation which could
be stressful and even lead eventually to serious physical health problems or depression and associated
A lot of us become trapped - get stuck in a job, which
was only meant to be temporary, but somehow the right opportunity doesn't come up and we're still there years later
and don't know how to move on.
If you fear this might be happening to you, or it has already
happened, there is something you can do - you can take some time to yourself and start planning your escape
Write down exactly what type of lifestyle you'd like to
achieve in 10 or 15 years and then start with the end goal and work back to today, figuring out what you must do or
learn to get you to where you want to be.
Keep going until you find as step you can take right away -
then take it. Goal setting can only help you achieve your aims if you are prepared to take
Discover the 3 steps to goal setting for your career.

Holiday Patterned Candles via Marta Stewart
Pictured above are the wonderful decal-clad candles that shout out Happy Holidays right in your face! These are by far the best in the series. Martha has some wonderful holiday clip-art designs that can transform the most mundane candles into festive and extra-ordinary. Just choose any pattern from the list of her free clip-art designs, and print them on an 8×11 Decal paper. Cut and stick them around your candles for a lively Christmas look that will fill your heart with pride. I especially loved the blue and orange snow-flakes, as well as the green fall leaf patterns. Instructions & photo via Martha Stewart
Lace Candles via Good Housekeeping
Set the mood for a romantic Valentine's dinner, or any cozy night at home with votive holders slipped into something special — lace trim that lets the light dance through its open weave. its is super-easy, super-cheap, and yet looks so classy! try different colored laces to mix-and-match and create a warm and cozy holiday look. Instructions & photo via Good Housekeeping.
Fall Leaf Candles via Sunset Magazine
Extremely simple yet elegant, try sticking Japanese Maple leaves on your glass candle-holders for a sophisticated look. The play of light against the glass holders and the tall and colorful Maple leaves make this an alluring setting. Instructions & photo via Sunset magazine.
I'm no Martha Stewart, but I do have a few ideas stirring in my head on what I might be doing for my candle projects. They may not be as fancy as those above, but nevertheless, I thought it would be good to share them with you all.
Velvet-Clad Candles via Fun and Food Cafe
Get some thick white candles from Craft stores, and some piece of red or green velvet fabric. Cut it in shapes to wrap around the candles. Then use white velvet to cut out small stars or snowflakes, and paste them onto the wrapped candles for a lively Christmas look.
Seaside Candle Retreat via Fun and Food Cafe
If you are in the mood to beat this chill with a soothing seaside retreat theme, then get some light-blue colored candles, and a bag of various-sized sea-shells that you can grab from a Discount store. Now fill these empty shells with beeswax, or regular molten wax from used tea-light candles. Add a wick in the molten wax. Place these around the blue candles, and arrange everything on a metal tray filled with natural sand. The glowing sea-shell candles will give a soft glow to your chilly Holiday dinners.
Floating Fall Candles via Fun and Food Cafe
Take a large fish bowl and fill it with water. Add 4-5 large Maple leaves, arrange small colored tea-light candles in the center of each leaf. Then add some lovely rose petals in the fish bowl. The glow from the tea-light candles will create a beautiful reflecting effect as it dances on the rose-clad water layer and the lovely fall leaves.

Romantic Period - post 1848#
Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 0, d minor#
Anton Bruckner (1824 Ansfelden/Upper Austria - 1896 Vienna) already
began working on his Symphony in d minor in 1864/65, but he didn't
finish it until 1869. It reflects Bruckner's development as a composer
which came about through the influences of the music of Wagner and the
so-called "Young German Movement." As a transitional work, Bruckner
himself later declared the Nullte to be ungiltig (invalid).
It isn't correct to brand Bruckner as merely a follower of Wagner's.
For example, Bruckner never tried to use Wagner's concept of endless
melody and his symphonies are a continuation of the traditions of
Beethoven and Schubert. The areas in which Wagner's influence on
Bruckner is the clearest are his instrumentation and harmonies. (E.

Once people pleasers recognize the ways they shoot themselves in the foot, they can determine to opt out of the excessively compliant role. First they need to be mentally prepared to face the challenge. Look over the following statements and determine how many of them you would be willing to embrace:
- I can see that firmness on my part is long overdue. It is a quality I want more of.
- My convictions are generally sound, to the point of being truly trustworthy.
- Too much of my emotional energy is spent trying to make others happy. That needs to change.
- I'm ready to admit that if others are overbearing, it may be their problem to solve, not mine.
- Even if others interpret me wrongly, I need to proceed with my best determinations.
- I know that I can continue to be thoughtful even as I am also more decisive.
- I have a purpose for my life that is well thought-out, and that I am determined to pursue.
- It is necessary for me to voice my opinions and preferences, not because I want to be pushy, but because I have good things to offer.
- When others try to entice me to live outside my boundaries, I can see that I am being responsible to stick to my convictions.
- I consider openness or genuineness as a quality that I am very committed to.
Hopefully, you can affirm each of the above statements. As you realize that you have good reasons to act in ways that are most consistent with your own values, you can still be a pleasing person without also having to let others dictate your decisions. If you could only affirm five or fewer of the above statements, I would encourage you to rethink the appropriateness of firmness and assertiveness. It is likely that you are selling your own good virtues short.
Let's keep in mind that uniqueness and differentness are good qualities in any relationship. Rather than forcing yourself to conform to a mold that others may insist that you fill, it would be good for you to allow yourself the privilege to be truly one of a kind!
