I've written before about the show's treatment of Carla and show runner Matt Weiner's "that's the way it was" defense of the lack of black folks on the show. He's said something similar a couple of place leading up to the new season. I agree that there's something powerful in letting your heros be on the wrong side of history, showing how racism and indifference to Civil Rights pervaded the culture, not just some easy villains. But this must be cold comfort for black actresses and actors when so many "prestige" projects are "period." I remember reading something back when Shakespeare in Love was up against Saving Private Ryan for Best Picture saying, isn't it interesting that we find these settings so "profound," the ones where blacks don't exist, so excluding them is just historical accuracy? (Obviously there were blacks in WWII, but not in the same units with whites, so you get a totally white film if I'm remembering correctly.) But given the parameters, just because a culture marginalizes someone doesn't mean you have to. Weiner doesn't want to let us off the hook by creating a parallel sixties where African-Americans are welcomed into advertising. Fine. But since when is the show actually about advertising? Isn't it really supposed to be about outsiders? A number of people have pointed out that the very first episode begins with a conversation between Don and a black waiter, with Don asking if he would ever change his brand of cigarettes. Shilling stuff is who Don is; being on the other end of the sell is who the rest of us are, especially outsiders. It's a promise that the treatment of race on the show has yet to fulfill. So my prediction that's actually a wish would be for a full episode that's all about what happens to Carla after Betty fires her. We could see her own family, and how they react. Perhaps she has a teenage son or daughter who has been politicized. We could see Carla look for a new job, interact with her family, friends and neighbors, and catch sideways glimpses, Mad Men style, of what she's actually thought about the Drapers all these years, perhaps revealing a secret of theirs along the way that we're left to figure out.
And bring back Paul and Sheila while you're at it.
Onto the predictions:
- At the start of the new season, Don is still married to Megan, but things are already bad. Fixing his Clio was all well and good, but once things go bad such shoring up starts to look desperate. We seem first flirting with a new (blond, now that the wife is brunette) mistresses or love interest; that he's still married is a reveal the way his marriage was in the first episode.
- Betty will play a very minor role throughout the season. At some point she tries to make a play to get back into Don's good graces and bed: his marriage makes him more attractive to her, along of course with the trials of being Mrs. Henry Francis. Talk about being on the wrong side of history: the guy's a Rockefeller Republican.
- At the same time we'll get to see more of Sally. How wonderful an actress has Kiernan Shipka turned out to be? We'll mostly see her with Don and Megan. She'll start to turn on Megan, but we'll also continue to see just how profoundly she hates Betty.
- An obvious one, but nonetheless: Roger threatens to expose that he's the father of Joan's baby (already born as the season begins), but then kicks it. (If this weren't already an obvious prediction, given the end of his story arc, after Mrs. Blankenship died in episode 9 last season, Roger said he didn't want to die in the office.) Expect some awkward toasts and references to Sterling's Gold and the very welcome return of Mona and Margaret.
- Shortly thereafter, doctor rapist kicks it in Vietnam, but through some stupid drunken accident rather than in combat. Joan is quietly and discretely relieved, and with good reason: being a single mom is better for Joan's work life than being a married mom would have been.
- Peggy continues to kill it for the ungrateful boys of SCDP, and necessity forces them to let her go beyond panty hose into some of the big stuff they reach for to replace Lucky Strikes: booze, cars, maybe even an airline. But her job keeps causing problems with her an Abe. This is more of a dilemma for her now than before, as Vietnam and Joyce have likely furthered her politicization, but it's still no choice: she'll choose the job.
- Burt Cooper comes back, with or without his testicles.

My boys and I spent the first week of June in Jamestown, New York where my parents live. We were blessed to have my sister, brothers, and sister-in-laws all there and we spent every moment enjoying each other's company.
What we primarily do when my immediate family gets together at my parent's house is basically lounge. L.O.U.N.G.E. We really take it easy. My mom and dad have a huge, green, glorious back porch and yard that we spend every waking minute in.
We eat.
We play games.
We have long conversations around camp fires. We constantly interrupt each other. We basically eat, drink, and be merry... and I couldn't ask for anything more.
My amazing sister-in-law is becoming quite the photographer, so many of the pictures (which are noted above and below) are hers. TK, Sawyer, and I got to spend a long weekend plus a few days there, and it was a lovely start to the summer with my favorite people in the world.
There's no place like home!

The Value
When I lived in Colorado, the ring broke. The band cracked and I was devastated. I took it to a jewelry repair store in the mall to see what they could do. The man asked me what kind of material it was and I didn't know what to respond. I didn't know what the ring was made out of. So he examined it and told me it was white gold. Now I don't think Don Bastine was a cheapskate back in the day but I just figured it was silver. The value of the ring that I had worn for like 10 years had changed in an instant.
I think we don't understand truly the value we have in Christ. It's like someone walking around orphaned and then they realize that Daddy Warbucks wants to take them in. Jesus came to set the captives free. He gave us value and purpose. We are not silver rose rings passed down from our parents but white gold. And the crown that we wear on our heads signifies our value that we are chosen, redeemed and rescued.
Do you know your value today?

By On Mar 10, 2019 Coloring Pages
When you color try to avoid hunching over a table. Instead, use a large hardback book to prop your page up at an angle or if you have a study you can even treat yourself to a drawing board. Make sure you support your back in a good chair. When you have been lost in your coloring for a while, make sure that when you break to stretch out your hands you also do some simple back stretching exercises too. Place your hands behind your head, lean back and stretch your lower back.
From here you can start to think about more advanced techniques like shading, burnishing and blending colors and begin to work with some of the tools that the coloring professionals use. Remember, these techniques take time and practice to master – don't expect to be producing masterpieces over night, after all it took Michelangelo 4 years to finish the Sistine Chapel so give yourself at least a good couple of years of practice to produce your first coloring masterpiece!
You need to invest in your coloring hobby to reap the rewards! I don't mean you need to go spend your life savings on the most expensive art supplies or furnish part of your house with an art studio, I mean spend the time to allow yourself to become better at coloring. Most things in life take practice and coloring is no exception.

The Nigerian military has vowed not to reveal the whereabouts of the remaining Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram members. This is great news if they really know where the girls are.
According to The Nation, Acting Director of Defence Information, Defence Headquarters, Abuja Brig.-Gen. Rabe Abubakar yesterday gave the military's position.
Over 200 pupils of Chibok Secondary School were abducted from their school in Borno State in April 2014.
Thirty of them have regained freedom since last year. But the remaining are still in captivity.
Camp Zero in Sambisa Forest, where it was believed the girls were kept, was recently seized and destroyed by troops.
Brig.-Gen. Abubakar, who spoke with reporters in Port Harcourt yesterday, said: "Neither the military nor any security agency will give information on the Chibok girls in order not to jeopardise their safety."
The acting director, who promised that the military would rescue the girls, insisted that "information on strategy to rescue them will never be disclosed".
On Boko Haram, he said the terrorist group has been destroyed and its "members in disarray".
He said the pockets of attacks being witnessed were carried out "by escapees", stressing that "Boko Haram can never regroup as they did in Sambisa Forest."
He said female suicide bombers were being drugged before being sent on suicide missions.
Brig.-Gen. Abubakar exonerated the military from partisanship, saying that any soldier found to be partisan would be ejected and if found wanting, he would be dismissed.
He urged the media to be cautious of national security in their reportage, advising that the media should always be guided by national interest.

Awaiting Fate
J.L. Sheppard
March 2015
Cain Thaler's lived more than four hundred years fighting rogue immortals, avenging the family he'd lost. It's all he's needed, all he's wanted. That changes the fateful day he lays eyes on his fated mate. Olivia Waden, a werewolf princess, is nothing like him. Unwilling to give her up, he sets a plan into motion: ignoring his need to claim her, he befriends her. Despite Cain's best efforts at friendship, Olivia has fallen hard for him. It is him she dreams of, him she wants as her fated mate. But she is sure he doesn't feel the same way. In way over her head, she has no option but to run away from the only man she's ever loved. Will Cain find Olivia before it's too late or will their differences tear them apart?
Between The Pages
This paranormal romance is part of the Fated Immortals series, which is a spin-off from the Elemental series. I believe some of the characters come from the Elemental series, but it isn't necessary to read the first series as this particular story stands on its own. The plot interesting and smooth, and the cast of characters are enjoyable. If you want to read a book packed with romance, I recommend this one.
4 Stars

These folk have been an absolute joy to work beside, and have placed such a positive impact on the way I go about such a collaborative experience.
Beginning in her families backyard gardens, Marnie the Melbourne local has an eye for sustainability and an evident attention to detail. She'll even make your wedding cake stand out.
Oh the places you'll go. If you're the 'straight into the reception' kind of couple, you'll wanna give this Sydney Road venue a crack. With two little getaway nooks upon entering and a noteworthy Asian infused menu, I have to say, good choice Steph and James.
Based in the Yarra Valley, Elizabeth shon such vibrancy on Monique and Bens wedding. Oh would you look at that, they do headpieces too!
Hair Stylist
With a willingness to adapt and achieve intended results, I've witnessed Bessy work so efficiently. With no bridal party too large, time will fly with her extroverted nature amongst those you hold close.
Mali and Ric provide a service to remember, but more importantly that captivating long hallway that you may have stumbled upon during your late night wedding blog crawls. You know, the one that floods natural light through it's high Collingwood ceilings?
Even doubling as a DJ, Mr. Macumber maintains the natural flow of each and every wedding he partakes in. With a mutual love for our favourite food, Parmigianas, it's a yes from me.

Caribbean Arts' New Council
On Saturday June 20th New Media Entrepreneur and Editor-in-Chief of KB Collective Rashade St Patrick feted 30 guests in a private conversation at the Swiss Stores and F&B Restaurant downtown. The topic on tongue? The Caribbean Art For Commerce Council - an independent for commerce organization spearheaded by St Patrick.
"I'm very excited about the CAFCC. I've been observing, learning, growing and planning and now is the time, now is the golden moment for me to do this. I've knocked heads with some very important contemporaries to have them sit on the board of directors and with their help I'm positive that we will achieve our goals." - Rashade St Patrick
'Mr Kingston Belle' brought out some of Kingston's most talented emergent creatives and art world staples such as Rachael Barrett (International Art Consultant) and Founder of Karebean Inc. and Douglas Reid of the Grosvenor Cafe and Gallery.
Treated to wines from Select Brands and divine foods catered by Kim Fennell, the night's guests were also feted to a short fashion presentation of two looks by Jayan O'Connor and Jehan Jackson.
"The fashion presentation was intended to be a take on the very dramatic way in which fashions were presented in ateliers across Europe in the 50's-70's - and Ashley Barrett and Anna took on the task like only they could." - RSTP
After a brief toast by St Patrick packed with information about the council and it's mandate, the guests connected eyes, signing their support to the "start of something new, to brave new beginnings"...

Nimbu Pani
Mansoor said, "Will you have some tea, Sahib? Or coffee?"
"Just now you offered me nimbu pani."
"Yes, Sahib."
"A glass of nimbu pani."
"Yes Sahib. At once." Mansoor made to go.
"And oh –"
"Yes, Sahib?"
"Are there any arrowroot biscuits in this house?"
"I think so, Sahib."
Mansoor went into the back garden to pluck a couple of limes, then returned to the kitchen to squeeze them into juice.
Her father seemed ready to explode at this patent fiction when Mansoor came in with the nimbu pani and a plate of arrowroot biscuits. He noticed the expression on Dr Seth's face and stood hesitantly by the door.
"Yes, yes, put it down here, what are you waiting for?"
Mansoor set the tray down on a small glass-topped table and turned to leave. marble phone case iphone 6 plus Dr Seth took a sip and bellowed in fury-
Mansoor turned, trembling. He was only sixteen, and was standing in for his father, who had taken a short leave. None of his teachers during his five years at a village school had inspired in him such erratic terror as Burri Memsahib's crazy father.
"You rogue – do you want to poison me?"
"No, Sahib."
"What have you given me?"
"Nimbu pani, Sahib."
Dr Seth, jowls shaking, looked closely at Mansoor. Was he trying to cheek him?
"Of course it's nimbu pani. Did you think I thought it was whisky?"
"Sahib." Mansoor was nonplussed.
"What have you put in it?"
"Sugar, Sahib."
"You buffoon! I have my nimbu pani made with salt, not sugar," roared Dr Kishen Chand Seth. "Sugar is poison for me. I have diabetes, like your Burri Memsahib. How many times have I told you that?"
Mansoor was tempted to reply, "Never," but thought better of it.
- Vikram Seth, A Suitable Boy
Yes, we're back with more eccentricity, invention, and adventures in good eating. iphone 7 shock absorb phone cases Our problems have cleared up and our plans to do better things with our lives have fallen through. And in the end we've realised we like posting on cookrookery, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I first heard about nimbu pani, the ubiquitous Indian limeade, in the pages of Vikram Seth's impressively heavy novel. I was instantly bewitched at the thought of a drink composed of lime and salt but no tequila. What would it be like? Would it be the perfect thing for a hot day? Were Indians really that weird? I confess I did not make it through Seth's entire tome (which in my defense was 1349 pages devoted to a single wedding) so I cannot be certain nimbu pani doesn't appear in other positive descriptive passages, but the one above stayed in my mind for the requisite number of years to ensure I finally got around to making it. Some things are like that. Yesterday I read a recipe in a cookbook I happened to pick up and made it within hours (Nigella Lawson's version of tandoori chicken), and with nimbu pani it took about fifteen years. Nevertheless I got there.
Nimbu pani is more of a concept than a recipe. red apple iphone 6 case It's the kind of thing a nation makes when every family has a lime tree in their back yard. You squeeze some limes and you add sugar. Or else salt. Or perhaps paprika. And pepper (later in the chapter Dr Seth insists on pepper with his nimbu pani). For comparison, I squeezed a whole lot of big fat juicy limes and made two glasses, one with salt and pepper, the other with sugar. The end result was a slightly acid stomach from drinking so much straight lime juice and the clear consensus between Leslie and I that lime juice with salt and pepper is damn fine.
Nimbu Pani
10 fat limes
salt and pepper to taste
Make sure your limes are full of juice. iphone 7 matte case A young greengrocer's apprentice once showed me a trick to this. Limes that are hard and bright green are probably terrible limes, no matter how attractive they may appear. A bright green skin can indicate that the lime is putting more attention into the rind than the flesh, which is the bit we care about. Those limes you would normally avoid, the yellowy ones with a bit of give to them, almost always have thinner skins and far superior juice.
Squeeze the limes. novelty iphone 7 plus case Mix in salt and finely ground black pepper (freshly ground and not pre-ground, please, unless you like drinks with grains of sand in them). I used a bare minimum of pepper and a good shake of salt. Stir well. Serve over ice if desired.
And hey.

Spring 2016 saw Suntory Whisky collaborate with London's award-winning Japanese restaurant ROKA. Customers had a unique opportunity to experience Hanami – the Japanese tradition of flower viewing. Veevers Carter recreated the famous 'Sakura' cherry blossom season inside ROKA's Shochu Lounge. A beautiful setting to enjoy a bespoke cocktail menu, created with Hibiki Japanese Harmony, Suntory's leading blended whisky.
I just wanted to say another huge thank you for your trojan work. The Sakura cherry blossom installation you created for Suntory at ROKA was beyond incredible!!! Your creativity, professionalism and exceptional 'can do' attitude made Veevers Carter an absolute dream to work with.
Emma Frisby, THRSXTY
The award-winning Shochu Lounge is located in the basement of ROKA Charlotte Street in the heart of London. By applying their conceptual flair, design expertise and the ability to work in the most diverse and challenging spaces, the Veevers Carter team fully adorned the underground bar with a cherry blossom installation for the entire month of April.
Keita Minari, Brand Manager International for Beam Suntory, said: "Sakura is a hugely important season in Japanese culture, and Hanami has been practiced for centuries. In modern culture, it is celebrated with picnic parties under the canopies of cherry blossom. We wanted to recreate a 'Suntory' version of this in London, and ROKA'S Shochu Lounge is the perfect place to experience a contemporary take on Hanami.
Introducing the experts, specialists and technicians that made this event spectacular. Their precision and attention to detail is what made this event successful.

Our Commitment to Art, Technology and Well-Being
Chinese Calligraphy
Chinese calligraphy is a core part of our Chinese history, culture, and values program with an emphasis on energy in motion, brush strokes, ink, and the ways that calligraphy can cultivate and impact one's character.
Design Technology (Makerspace)
At DSHK we understand the significant role that technology plays in the life of our students. Our design and technology classes, along with our innovative Makerspace classroom, provide our students with a wide range of design and technology experiences. Each authentic learning experience will inspire our DSHK students and empower them as innovative and creative problem solvers.
Drawing, sculpture, painting, wood-working, ceramics are just a few of the visual art mediums that our DSHK artist will experience. Through comprehensive learning experiences, students will investigate art throughout history and across diverse cultures to better understand the vital contribution the arts make to the quality of our lives.
Performing, creating, and responding to music are the fundamental music processes in which humans engage. We believe that students learn by doing – singing, playing instruments, moving to music, and creating music enable them to acquire musical skills and knowledge that can be developed in no other way. Listening to, analyzing and evaluating music are important building blocks of musical learning.
Drama & Dance
Dance and drama are intellectual, creative and physical art forms that enable students to learn about the richness and diversity of expression and communication. Attending and creating theatre experiences promote self-expression, empathy and collaboration. With the physical body as the means to experiential learning, our program engages children in a variety of classical, post-modern and contemporary dance and theatrical traditions to support individual learning styles, interests and abilities.
Physical Education
"If the body stops moving, so will the brain". This is particularly true for young bodies and young minds. Numerous researchers have shown that physical activities and keeping active will improve children's ability to think and will lead to superior cognitive performance. In DSHK, throughout the early years, children will develop gross and fine motor coordination, physical fitness, overall proficiency, seeing the benefit of exercise and team sports. We do not just limit motion and movement to regular PE lessons but integrate and expand it into daily learning routines. Our overall approach to physical education encourages a healthy attitude toward fitness, wellness, and positive self-esteem.

Things were starting to look up for the Toronto Raptors as they had rebounded from their worst stretch of basketball in a year and a half and were the clear winners of the trade deadline, adding two pieces in Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker to help vault them back into eastern conference contention.
That was until the news broke Monday that their All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry will miss the next 4 to 5 weeks and potentially the remainder of the regular season to have surgery on his wrist.
Raptors' Kyle Lowry out indefinitely, aims to return for playoffs. All-star guard to have wrist surgery Tuesday. BG: https://t.co/07K8lhfhu2
— CBC News Alerts (@CBCAlerts) February 27, 2017
This is a huge loss for the Raptors, Lowry is the heart and soul of their team, the engine that makes everything go. Losing Lowry almost ensures that they will finish no better than the No. 4 seed where they are currently at and will more than likely no only not win the division, but not have home court in their 1st round and have a looming match-up with the Cavaliers in Round 2 if Lowry is able to return and they are able to find their rhythm to advance past round 1.
Lowry is in the midst of the best season of his NBA career, basically averaging 22-7-5 while shooting a career-high 46 percent from the field and a shade under 42 percent from three-point range.
The Raptors will be asking a lot of Cory Joseph and inexperienced young point guard Delon Wright to be able to replace Lowry's production, leadership and play making ability.
The timing of this injury is especially rough as the Raptors essentially went all in on contending this season, this will slow down the integration of Ibaka and Tucker into the team and their offense as well.
Here's to hoping the Raptors get Lowry back for the postseason at the very least.

Fort Worth Roofing Expert also offers gutter services including installation, repair and regular cleaning.
Our gutter professionals, after inspecting your home and taking appropriate measurements, can help you to add a gutter system to your home or business that will add value, protection and style your property.
If you have an existing gutter system in need of repair, we can make any repairs that might be needed and do a complimentary cleaning while we work!
Our technicians work with a number of different gutter manufacturer's systems including seamless gutters and others.
Gutter Cleaning
Don't feel much like spending an afternoon pulling out your ladder, climbing onto and all over your roof on a Saturday to clean the debris out of your gutters? You could just put if off until next weekend (which is likely what you said to yourself last weekend, and the one before that, and the one…).
Don't put this off.
A clogged gutter or downspout can lead to serious problems for your property.
A blocked or clogged gutter system will keep water from flowing off of your roof and away from your property. This can lead to water (and depending on the time year, ice) buildups on the edges of your roof which can do serious damage. In addition to roof damage, water that is absorbed into the ground can cause swelling in soil near your property's foundations that can lead to expensive damage. The splashing of rain runoff can also lead to your property's siding to weather much faster than normal and possibly become a growing area for mold.
Gutter Repair
Fort Worth Roofing Expert will schedule a cleaning for you that can be a one-time event or on a regular, recurring basis.
If your gutters have been damaged by blockages, falling tree limbs or other sources, we can help you to make necessary repairs to have your gutters flowing properly once more.

There is snow all around. Where are the surrounding tracks? Shouldn't it have left a trail? I don't see that in the video, just a few random ALL RIGHT FOOT tracks.
A man in Ontario believes he has captured the not only the usual footprints of Bigfoot, but handprints as well. As if that isn't enough, he's posted videos of the find that include a bonus: a Sasquatch speaking it's own language.
YouTube user "Sasquatch Ontario" made the find on February 2nd. The evidence consists of a string of footprints through the snow, the size and shape of which seem fit the standard for most Bigfoot sightings. More interesting though, is the discovery of what look to be Bigfoot handprints, something we don't see too much of. The handprints measure almost 7 inches in length, with an incredibly ape-like "thumb" that sits a good deal lower than a humans.
The video containing the tracks was uploaded to YouTube just yesterday, and includes audio of what the user believes to be actual Sasquatch language captured in the Ontario, Canada forest. The enhanced audio features a grumbling and howling reminiscent of the infamous "Sierra Samurai" recordings captured in California in the 70s.
You can view the video below and see the prints for yourself, but make sure you stick around for the eerie vocalizations at the end.
Have Sasquatch Ontario captured the rare Bigfoot handprint? Or is there a very cold gorilla roaming the Canadian countryside? Have you captured any strange footprints in your area? We want to know! Tweet us @WhoForted, share with us on our official Facebook page, of leave us a message in the comments!
There is snow all around. Where are the surrounding tracks? Shouldn't it have left a trail? I don't see that in the video, just a few random ALL RIGHT FOOT tracks.
S. Hill I think at 34 and 35 mark he said there was a trail
Anyone heard about the one that aparently got shot? It's on the finding bigfoot facebook they're saying it's real was expecting to see something about in here
This looked so fake to me that I didn't even bother to watch the entire video.
i have a minor in anthropology and i can only conclude that unless the animal was foraging and using its hand to balance while its other hand was searching or grabbing for something else on the ground, i don't understand why it would use its hand in a palm flat-out fashion like this for locomotion. gorillas use their knuckles when they walk upright, i would imagine the bigfoot would do the same or it would simply not use its hands at all for walking. i just can't really think why these prints would look like this if it really is closely related to us.
Sad to say it but this guy is nothing but a hoaxer. All of his prints are always found on top of or near car, snowmobile or cross-country ski tracks or on a driveway or road and never on their own somewhere leading into the woods. Not once has he been able to follow those tracks deep into the woods for all the videos that he has and since I'm very familiar with his neck of the woods I know for a fact the snow more often than not is very good at imprinting tracks.
I wish he were telling the truth because he's from Ontario and I do believe there could be squatches here, but this guy isn't finding any except for the ones in his imagination.
The footprints don't seem all that large. What were they, nine inches or so? MY foot is that long (8.5W)! The hand print also didn't seem all that large. The ruler was at an angle, and the print could easily be that of a guy with perfectly normal large hands, with the thumb extended down to the side. The howls? At the start, right after the first knocks, it sounds like the same guy that narrates.
Seen some good prints, and heard some very chilling recordings, but these? I suspect they are faked. Totally human.

10 Ways to Hygge Your Home
I can't believe I'm writing this, but as much as I love the spring, summer and fall, I'm feeling a bit of hesitation around moving away from the coziness of winter. And although one of my favorite recent trends can be carried through all year round, there's something about the colder months that really make hygge sing.
*This post contains affiliate links.
The Little Book of Hygge (pronounced "Hoo-ga") is the most treasured coffee table book that I own. Before it became a recognized trend here in the US, my husband thoughtfully gifted the book to me around the time that I was beginning to pursue a career in Interior Design. Hygge is the Danish philosophy of comfort, togetherness, and well-being. It is said to reduce uncertainty, worries, and stress by encouraging gratitude and the art of enjoying life's simple pleasures. I've compiled a list to share with you below on how to hygge your home in a weekend. But if you're interested in diving even further into the pursuit of everyday happiness, you can grab your own copy here:
Little Book of Hygge : Danish Secrets to Happy Living by Meik Wiking
10 Easy Ways to Hygge Your Home:
Create a Comfy Nook
Our love of small spaces may trace back to the time when we lived in caves and safety and protection were paramount. Everyone wants a comfy space! Think window seat or a cozy chair in the corner of a room. Add cushions, soft blankets, soft lighting, and a welcoming seat to climb into. I'm building out my home office in the rectangular nook of our master bedroom and I'm having a blast hygge-ing it out.
Start up That Fireplace
Not only is this a welcoming place to sit quietly alone to enjoy comfort and warmth, it's a great place to spend time with our loved ones to enjoy a feeling of togetherness. Although there's nothing like the real thing, a gas fireplace would also do.
Light Candles
Candle lovers, rejoice! It is actually suggested to light candles in every room. If you think about it, there really is no way to re-create the soft mood lighting given off by a candle. Be sure to take fire precautions with this as always.
Incorporate Items Made of Wood
There's just something grounding about wood. In a world of technology and plastics, the soft creak of a wooden floor underfoot or the smooth feeling of a wooden dresser sort of takes you back to what matters – nature.
Bring in Elements from Nature
Hands down, my favorite quote from the book is: "Basically, you want to think: How would a viking squirrel furnish a living room?" Really anything from twigs and nuts to hides and skins to fruits and flowers get the green light.
Build a Small Library
I'm not sure if I was the only one, but did anyone else completely not take to the reading tablet craze? I have personally always been a fan of the real thing. Who doesn't like taking a break from reality while getting lost in a good book? Give me shelves full of books and accent tables stacked with books and I'm a happy gal.
Include Ceramics
Where are my mug-obsessed friends? Hopefully all of you 😉 In addition to ceramic mugs, you can also break out the decorative bowls, vases and sculptures you no doubt have tucked away.
Vary Textures
Hygge is very much about how things feel. Varying materials in any space is an easy way to incorporate contrasting textures. Homemade decor is a great way to incorporate hygge in this way.
Display Vintage Pieces
Another big trend this year, items are repurposed in hygge and natural wear and tear is celebrated. Vintage pieces tell a story, they have a personality, and they hold emotional value. Really, who doesn't love nostalgia?
Bring on the Blankets & Cushions
To snuggle up with these pieces is very hyggeligt…not only for warmth but also comfort. Play around with varied sizes and fabric textures and enjoy the feeling that really…everything is going to be okay.
Are you ready to tackle the Danish philosophy of hygge in your home? Let me know if these implemented changes make a difference in your happiness and well-being! Head on over to our Facebook group where you can share your experience with others and obtain more expert design advice!

What's Vegetable Tanned Leather?
This tanning technique has been used for centuries to create leathers for the finest saddles and case goods. These leathers naturally will produce a beautiful patina over the years of use.
All leather starts with the raw stock. For us, it is French Bull hides.
For us, bull hides are our choice since we make many larger products and need to get large quality cuts.
What is drum dyed?
Finishing and coloring
The grain remains allowing the fiber strength and durability. The aniline dye means that there was no surface pigment or plastic finishing on the leather. This retains the natural look of the leather where you will see the stretch marks and other natural marking in the animal giving each product a unique and beautiful look.
Our Leathers
Harness Belting Leather |
Smooth Tumbled Grain Leather |
Shrunken Bison |
Suede |
Exotic & Luxury Hides
Harness Belting Leather
This exceptional leather has a firm, lightly glossy finish that softens with age and use. It turn will develop a unique and cherished patina. Extra fat liqueurs are added during the conditioning process, creating a smooth surface and beautiful appearance that improves with age. These fine leathers do not have any surface finish to protect them, and with care will age over time to become a true heirloom.
This leather is gently tumbled to give it a distinctively soft and relaxed hand, while at the same time remaining durable and easily standing up to daily use. This leather will also patina but due to its softer touch, the ageing process will take longer than the belting. The light wax finishing gives this article a supple hand and will stand up to the test of time with care.
This unique leather has a sporadic shrunken grain, which gives a beautiful texture to our bags. This article has a softer touch yet is very durable. This is a chromed tanned leather compared to the belting and tumbled which are veg. The chrome tanning process however creates leather that is more rugged; it is more resistant to the elements but will not patina much over time.
This leather has a soft napped finish which creates a beautiful texture for bags. Suede is surprisingly durable and can be cleaned to almost new with the right products. We normally appoint our suede products with our belting or tumbled leather which creates a great contrast for the bags while also providing a lighter weight finished product.
Depending on availability and quality, we also offer a limited selection of exotic leathers. These include alligator, crocodile, ostrich, lizard, python, and other unique options. Please contact us for more information about these specialty leathers.

Character Movement Speed Dash Speed Fall Speed Fall Speed Ratio after Dodge Aerith Assist Damage Formula Character base damage X Skill damage multiplier X ( [1 OR Critical bonus] + Damage bonus from equips) ] = actual damage number on screen [ ] = round down to nearest integer, i.e decimals are dropped When your ATK is lower than enemy's DEF: Character base damage = (10 ÷ ((enemy DEF- your ATK)+10)) x enemy's raw BRV ÷100 When your ATK is higher than enemy's DEF: Character base damage = (((your ATK - enemy DEF)+10) ÷ 10) x enemy's raw BRV ÷ 100 *raw BRV = BRV without any equipment/accessory, i.e. always 667 for Lv100 Skill damage multiplier relates to the power of the skills. These numbers can be found in the info thread in each character's individual subforum. Critical bonus = (enemy's current BRV ÷ Your MAX HP) x 7 [min cap 2, max cap 8] Example, If your MAX HP = 6999, your crits do 2x normal damage when enemy has under 2000 BRV, starts to do more when they get higher BRV, and finally caps at 8x damage when enemy is at 7999+ BRV. Attack Priority System Melee attack = attacker will be staggered when blocked Ranged attack = attacker will not be staggered when blocked In general, higher priority beats lower, Melee beats Ranged if same priority.Ranged attack, Melee attack with Low priority -- most Brv attacksRanged attack, Melee attack with Mid priority -- cause stagger on normal R blockRanged attack, Melee attack with High priority -- cause Guard Crush on normal R block, most HP attacksSpecial -- Special case of ranged attacks, can not be blocked, but dies to attacks and dashesUnblockable -- does not collide/touch other attacks/blocks at all.Dash -- include Quickmoves and any dashesBlock Low priority -- attacks with magic guard such as Fated Circle, Dark Cannon, WoL and Tidus' Ex mode bonusBlock Mid priority -- Normal R block, Shield of Light, Delta Attack, Shield Bash etcBlock Mid* priority -- Normal R block with Precision Block activatedBlock High priority -- [Wrath] Particle Beam, EX Mode (SW) Sword & Shield, Deus Iratus.Block Highest priority -- Omni Block, Charged Knight's Spear, Lv2 Assist Change Legend:O = (win) cause stagger/guard crush on opponent's melee hits/block, reflect opponent's projectile△ = (draw) weapon clash on melee hits, projectiles deflect (target not change)X = (lose) opposite to OS = (stagger) both stagger, reflect projectile (target change) - = (ignore) if both are ranged attacks, they passes through each other (eg, two Emperor's Flares); if either is a melee attack or block, the ranged one wins EX related Tested with Force Begets Courage: (obviously in default rule set) Each Ex force = 3 a raw Ex core = 150A Full Ex bar requires: 1000 EX-Orbs Standard EX Mode duration: = 20 sec This is the base time and all the +/- %duration are based on this. i.e. every 5% duration = 1sec EX Core spawning location no longer relates to LUK. It now has 25% chance to spawn at a place close to both players, and 75% chance to spawn at a place far from both players. The "increase defense after being EX bursted" bug is fixed. +Damage% does affect EX Burst damage, but all boosters are ignored. Abilitys Air Dash Boost: Air Dash, Reverse Air Dash 4% speed up.

Snooze and Lose: activates when opponent does not attack for 5 sec, opponent loses 30% of raw BRV every 1.67sec (100F). Achy/+: Near Death status becomes "HP under 26/31% of Max HP".

Exdeath Slowest Only the Emperor got a VERY slight (less than 2%) speed boost, all other old characters remains the same speed as in the previous game. Each rank's difference is around 8%, which is the amount of the ability "Speed Boost" gives. Within each rank, there maybe little differences between characters, but the differences are no more than 2% in general. No rank number for Exdeath because even with Speed Boost++, he is still much much slower than Ultimecia. For anyone interested, results of testings: Speed Test Done in World of Darkness, number of frames (time) needed to travel from one end to the opposite were counted. Characters have no Speed Boost equipped.

All the characters cover the same distance with the same type of dash, at different speeds.

It simply represents how quickly the characters touch the ground free-falling from the same height. It's not indicative of the acceleration (some characters start falling slowly than gradually speed-up, others have an early sprint). (65F) EX Tidus (67F) Kain, Gilgamesh, Kefka, EX Gabranth, Feral Chaos (71F) EX Prishe (73F) Tidus, Vaan (75F) Laguna, Prishe, Lightning (77F) Garland, Tifa (81F) Firion, Cecil DK, Squall, Zidane, Jecht, Gabranth (85F) Onion Knight, Terra, Sephiroth (87F) WoL, Cloud (89F) Cecil PL, Bartz, Kuja, Yuna (97F) Emperor, Shantotto (109F) CoD (111F) Exdeath (115F) Ultimecia Fall Speed Ratio After Dodge The falling speed after a dodge changes further on. Some speed up even before the dodge animation ends. Others gain speed gradually. Still others fall slowly for some time, than suddenly sink like lead! This basically represent how quickly a character gains speed immediately after an aerial dodge.

Aerith has Block Mid priority (ie. need guard stagger/crush attacks to stop her). A bit of explanation, between 480F to 524F, the opponent is still free to do anything. They could even attack Aerith to cause an Assist Lock to you, but they will still get hit by Holy at 524F. Think of this as Starfall, the meteor(Holy) appears at 480F, and needs 44F to "reach" its target. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tipping Point
The excitement and anticipation for the new album "The Tipping Point" that I have is unparalleled," says vocalist Jason DeVore. "The closest thing I can think of is how I felt when we first released A Passage In Time so many years ago. You feel you're really doing something right when you and the members of your band are rocking out to it like it's their new favorite album that just came out. That's how it should feel. The energy, the intensity, and collaborative sounds along with a new realm of production working with Cameron Webb has made it extremely intense. It's a taste of the old school and slingshots into new areas and veins of music we have yet to tap into as well as some surprises. It's an album based on the idea of tipping the scales, unity, causing a ruckus while forging on, and the history and future of all who have been involved and will for years to come. We're fired up.
