Here's how I pulled this look together for less:

Hyundai Sonata's and Santa Fe's Recalled
Hyundai is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Hyundai Sonatas passenger cars, manufactured from January 24, 2012, through June 21, 2012.
Hyundai is also recalling certain model year 2007 through 2009 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured from April 19, 2006,
through July 7, 2008.
The curtain side airbags on the Hyundai Sonata's may inflate without deployment command due to an error during manufacturing. It may also increase the risk of injury to occupants of the vehicle. Additionally, an unexpected deployment would be a significant driver distraction and would limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Hyundai dealers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the curtain side airbags free of charge.
The Hyundai Santa Fe's occupant classification system (OCS) may need recalibration to accurately detect small statured adults. Improper classification or detection may cause the front passenger airbag not to deploy in the event of a crash,
increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger. Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will update the classification software free of charge.
Customers may contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Vehicle Safety Administrations Hotline at 1-888-327-4236

We just need a clear proposal. So if I understand this correctly the discussions on repository@apache should now be conducted on infrastructure where we are talking about the physical layout of the repository in a file system that is accessible via http. While software that may operate on this physical structure is a matter for the various projects whether it be existing code in places like Ant/Maven or new code that is brought to the incubator? Just trying to clarify, is this correct? If so that sounds good to me as the repository@apache discussions were getting way out of hand and I would prefer if it were a simple task of defining a physical structure that lends itself to easy access. > I cannot say this enough: umbrella projects are the bane of Apache. > The sooner we get away from the concept of "everybody has to be > concerned with everyone else's projects" and back to each project > governing itself under collaborative principles, the better and > stronger we will be in the long run.

Music Review 6.10.2011: PARTCH @ REDCAT
The obligatory titular capitals of the event's ensemble and venue could not be more appropriate for last night's performance. From beginning to end, PARTCH exclaimed, cursed, laughed, wailed, and cavorted through several varied scores by the "iconoclastic American Maverick" Harry Partch (1901-1974). PARTCH, led by guitarist/composer/singer/radio-personality John Schneider, have been spreading the gospel of Partch since their REDCAT debut in 2004.
The group is playing the same program tonight (Saturday 6/11), so you can still catch it. For tickets to the concert, visit: http://www.redcat.org/event/partch-2
The pre-concert atmosphere in REDCAT was even more casual than usual. Covering the stage were the beautiful replicas of Partch's original, handcrafted instruments and the band was basically just milling around. The lights suddenly dimmed and several audience members quickly dove into their seats as the musicians likewise dove into the rambunctious and engaging Castor & Pollux (1952), a pair of pieces for Kithara, Cloud Chamber Bowls, Harmonic Canon, Bass Marimba, and Diamond Marimba (all shown above). The two pieces are each in four movements with the same titles, "Insemination", "Conception", "Incubation", and "Delivery". Relating to the mythical birth of the Gemini twins, this carnal imagery is even more appropriate to the music itself; the rhythmic and harmonic language of this music is equally intoxicating and sensuous. The programmatic arc of music that followed Castor & Pollux was well-conceived and satisfying, as well as quite informative to the uninitiated Partch-lover or microtonalist – the "informing" mostly due to the short, enjoyable documentary film Music Studio (1958, Madelaine Tourtelot) shown before intermission.
Up until the Partch classic Barstow (1941/3), which ended the program, the other pieces were more intimate. With the geniality and nonchalance of a home concert, John Schneider accompanied himself on Adapted Viola (Partch's first foray into instrument building) while singing excerpts from the early Li Po Lyrics (Partch's first foray into composing). After intermission, we were treated to the chamber-jazz adventure Ulysses Departs from the Edge of the World (1955), which featured Josh Aguiar performing the trumpet part originally written for Chet Baker. Though Chet never performed the piece, Josh convincingly stood in his stead with a sound that was caressingly warm. This was followed by two more works featuring "intoning voice": the mischievous and whimsical Two Settings from Lewis Carroll (1954) and the grotesque Potion Scene from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1931) for voice and Adapted Viola. The latter was definitely the dramatic high-point of the evening, with Argenta Walther and Andrew McIntosh masterfully merging their parts to form the sonic essence of Juliet's doubting, fearful soul which came oozing through the air. As a mitigating factor, Barstow came immediately after, featuring various members of the ensemble singing the texts by hitchhiker graffiti artists, mostly with a comic air.
As my first live PARTCH experience, I found the concert quite fulfilling. After bobbing my head to the infectious rhythms, smiling at the fascinating Chromolodeon harmonies, and laughing along with John Schneider's Adapted Guitar in Barstow, the question posed in the last song fit the evening's free-spirit mood, with a thumb of the nose and a pat on the back: "Why in Hell did you Come, anyway?"

In The Field: Should You Have A Personal Photo Project? #280
I think when a photographer works the same subject again and again, she or he runs the risk of falling into predictable patterns. I photography the ocean a lot. And if I'm honest with myself, I am falling victim to a comfort zone. I will forever love the ocean and will continue to photograph it… but can I do it differently? I've started a personal photo project that I hope will keep my eyes fresh.

Seriously, how is it already time for February Favorites? For most of the month, I was keeping my makeup quite minimal, so most of my favorites of the month are new skincare discoveries. I've got a couple old favorites in here as well that I've fallen back in love with.
Anese Hydrating Body & Hair Elixir* | I have a full review of this beauty here. It's the only fragrance I've been using all month - I absolutely love the marshmallow pine scent, as it's so unique. It's also not a super strong fragrance, which I like, so I know I won't be causing my labmates to suffocate throughout the day. Remeber you can use the code KELSEYANESE to get $5 off as well!
Pixi Rose Oil Blend | I mentioned that I picked this up in my Beauty Haul, and it's been love at first use. It smells and feels divine - it definitely feels so much more luxurious than the price point lets on. I've been reaching for it almost every night at the end of my skincare routine because it leaves my skin so hydrated and radiant.
Skinfix Daily Lotion | I had been toying with the idea of using a thinner lotion rather than a body butter for awhile, and I finally took the plunge and picked up this baby from Skinfix. It contains really lovely oils, like sunflower, grapeseed, and jojoba, so while it's super lightweight, it delivers lasting hydration. My secret weapon against dry winter skin has been applying this straight out of the shower onto wet skin, and I haven't had any of my usual itchy leg dilemmas since.
Valentia Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask* | I was sent this mask to review early in the month, and again, it was love at first use. It's got the loveliest ingredients, like hyaluronic acid and sea buckthorn oil, so it's wildly hydrating. It truly lives up to its name, and it's one that I've been continuing to use multiple times a week.
MAC Strobe Cream | This is an old favorite - I think it first appeared in my July Favorites last year. I've been trying to ramp up my skin's glow this month to combat that winter dullness, so this has been essential. It's quite moisturizing and gives the skin the most beautiful glow. I've been mixing it into my moisturizer in the morning to give my skin a much-needed radiance boost.
rms beauty Living Luminizer | Speaking of glow, I've fallen back in love with this little wonder. This pot of cream highlighter is actually good for the skin, containing mostly organic coconut oil, and gives you the most believable sheen of them all. There's no glitter at all in this, so it's the perfect pick for daytime.
NARS Dolce Vita Lipstick & Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Ex-Girlfriend Lipstick | If you read my Sheer Nudes post, you'll know I've really been into a more low-key lip this month. These two have been on rotation all month long, as they look so flattering on and go with anything. Dolce Vita is a little rosier, so it's perfect if you're going for a more "flushed" look, and the UDxGwen lipstick is a stunning pinky nude with fine pink and golden shimmer that really enhances the lips. I can't pick a favorite of the two.
What were your favorites this month?

The vast majority of people qualify for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 under the "means test". The first step in the means test is the median family income qualification.
1 EARNER Kansas $50,687 Missouri $46,488 2 PEOPLE Kansas $65,112 Missouri $58,796
3 PEOPLE Kansas $73,760 Missouri $70,089 4 PEOPLE Kansas $85,507 Missouri $83,180
(Cases Filed On or After May 1, 2018 ) * Add $8,400 for each individual in excess of 4.
Step Two fill out the online questionnaire, and call or email my office about your situation to set up a consultation.
Meet with Attorney in person Your attorney will discuss your income and expense and home and cars with you and how to exempt them. Preference payments, mean test, business issues, pending claims against others, and in the fall and winter, anticipated tax returns will normally be discussed.
"Red flag" issues like recent credit card cash advances or balance transfers, other recent debt and payments to family. - see Do's and Don's page for more details
Stop buying on Credit.
Do not lend or borrow money.
No large payments to anyone.
Keep making payments on secured debt you plan to keep.
Bring with you to the consultation:
- Statements, bills, and letters from any creditor you owe including collection agencies, attorneys, etc. received within the last 90 days;
- Statements from your mortgage creditor(s), your car creditor(s), and all other secured creditors;
- List of each creditor, name, creditor address, account number, amount of debt to each creditor, date debt was incurred;
- Any and all lawsuit paperwork including garnishments, and foreclosures;
- Copies of all federal, state, and local (if applicable) tax returns including W2s and all other attachments for the last 3 tax years;
- List of all income that does not appear on your tax returns;
- Documentation that will support your income and expenses for the last 4 months;
- Evidence of child support payments and alimony;
- Pay stubs from the past seven months and Year to date income from all source received this year;
- Copy of driver's license and copy of Social Security card;
- Bank statements for day of filing and last 4 months - more than $10 in the bank at the time of filing is a non-exempt asset that can be used by the Trustee to pay debts;
- If you do not have some of these items, come anyway and we can normally work around missing documents
Drafting of the Petition While your attorney drafts your petition she will pull a credit report to further assure the petition has all creditors. You are required to attend a Credit Counseling Course before and after the filing of the bankruptcy petition.
The petition is the document that will list all of your assets, debts, income and other information the Court may consider in granting a discharge.
Review & Filing Meet with Attorney to review the draft petition before filing. This meeting will allow you to review many topics covered in the consultation and to ask as many questions as you have regarding the remaining process.
Notes on how a chapter 7 works may be found here on the Court website.
Once your case is filed, you can take a 2nd online course that is required. After filing, the Trustee may request additional or previously provided documentation. Be sure to promptly and fully comply with these requests since your case could be dismissed for a simple failure to cooperate even though the documents would otherwise be fine if provided.
Bankruptcy Hearing - About 30 Days after Filing This meeting of Creditors is required by the Bankruptcy Code, and provides your creditors an opportunity to ask you questions about your assets. The trustee will verify the contents of your petition. Your attorney will attend your hearing and address issues that may arise. You will normally be done within an hour.
Discharge- About 9 1/2 weeks after Hearing - Discharge normally occurs about nine weeks after the hearing. As a practical matter most cases are over when the discharge is issued, but you still need to cooperate with trustee requests like providing your tax returns if you are filing late in the year. You should save a copy of your discharge in your permanent file since you may occasionally need it in the future.
After Bankruptcy - Once discharged, your case will normally remain on your credit report for 10 years. However, many debtors are offered credit right away and many purchase homes within two years of filing. The most important thing is to have stable employment and income, save a reasonable down payment and avoid taking on new credit card, furniture or other debt that would impair your debt to income ration.

Funding and resource flows in the care system - 2013-2015 Projects
1. Funding options for social care
Context and problem statement
The significant growth in the number of people with care needs and the long-term increases in the unit cost of social care services are putting growing pressure on the publicly-funded social care system in England. Also, due to the means-tested nature of the present social care funding arrangements, increasing proportions of people with social care needs have become excluded from state support. In this context, the analysis question is whether social care funding arrangements can be found which ensure:
- that people with care needs enjoy good care-related outcomes
- the long-term financial sustainability of the public social care system
- equity in the distribution of support, outcomes and financial contributions across different socioeconomic groups in society
Overall aims
The analysis will examine, now and over a 20 year time horizon, the impact of alternative funding mechanisms on:
- levels of public and private health and social care utilisation (and associated expenditures)
- care-related outcomes (e.g. need shortfalls, gains in social care related quality of life)
- distributional implications (e.g. outcomes and costs for people with different needs and wealth; intergenerational transfers)
This work will explore the following questions:
Q1 Individual level association between need for and receipt of care among older people in England
This study will address the issue of the association between need for care and receipt of care among older people.
Q2 Local variations in social care service use
The analysis will examine which factors (local needs, socio economic characteristics, local prices, local preferences) are linked to variations in the use, configuration and costs of social care services.
Q3 Coordination of local health and social care provision: evidence of substitition and complementarity of health and social care inputs
This analysis will contribute to addressing the policy question of how best to coordinate the health and social care systems by quantifying the degree to which the supply and demand of health and social care services is interrelated.
Q 4 Understanding and quantifying system outcomes
We aim to map patterns of targeting of health and social care resources to indicators of quality life (e.g. QALY and ASCOT) to understand the implications in terms of final outcomes of alternative service configurations.
Lead: Jose-Luis Fernandez, Julien Forder, Raphael Wittenberg
2. Financial mechanisms for intergrating funds for health and social care
Integrating care for people with complex needs, such as frail older people with multiple health problems, is a huge challenge for health and social services. Evidence suggests that integrated services can improve access to care services, lower rates of institutionalisation, and may reduce the overall costs of care. Although a lack of financial integration is often cited as a major barrier to the successful delivery of integrated care, the specific role played by the integration of resources across care boundaries remains opaque.
Research questions
- What mechanisms are available for integrating resource use across health and social care?
- What evidence is there that these are effective or cost-effective, and what are the barriers to their use?
To systematically review the international evidence on:
- The types of integrated resource mechanisms available
- The costs and effects of these mechanisms, including unintended consequences
- The barriers to implementation and the factors critical to success.
Lead: Anne Mason
3. The relationship between unpaid care and formal health and social care
Informal caregivers are responsible for the large majority of care and support provided to people with long-term conditions, frail older people and the terminally ill. The health and social care systems could not cope without this 'hidden army' of unpaid carers. It is therefore imperative that we develop our understanding of the role of informal care in the health and social care economy and of the implications of policy changes on the supply of informal care.
Our objective is to provide robust empirical evidence of the potential impact of policy measures on informal care supply and on the interrelationship between the supply of informal care and the use of formal health and social care. We also aim to refine the evidence and methodologies used to estimate the welfare effects of policy changes, for example in terms of informal caregivers' opportunity costs.
This work is designed to address the following policy questions:
Q1 Factors influencing informal care supply
We will attempt to quantify the range of factors determining individuals' willingness to provide informal support to people with long-term care needs.
Q2 Complementarity and substitutability between unpaid care and health and social care services
We will attempt to quantify the rate at which formal and informal inputs substitute for or complement one another.
Q3 Financial and wellbeing implications of providing care for unpaid carers
Providing care can have significant implications for the health, wellbeing and financial situation of the informal carer. We will attempt to quantify the outcomes of providing informal care, including its opportunity costs in terms of labour supply and caregivers' wages.
Lead: Jose-Luis Fernandez, Bernard van den Berg
4. Health care expenditures, age, morbidity and proximity to death
The allocation of health care resources to administrative bodies charged with delivering patient care has historically been based on measures of a population's needs for health care services. These have taken many forms, but are broadly based on age, gender, morbidity and measures of social deprivation. It has recently suggested that allocations should be based on age alone, believing that age is a key determinant of the need for health care and hence health care expenditure (HCE). This might be challenged on a number of accounts, for example, that wealthy less deprived individuals are more likely to live longer and accordingly attract a greater share of HCE. The impact of population ageing on HCE has been heavily contended and has led to a debate about whether it is age (or ageing populations) that drives HCEs or proximity to death (assuming the need for health care is compressed into the years prior to death). In the context of funding decisions, these two competing hypotheses have very different consequences for the appropriate allocation of health care resources.
Project aims
This project aims to revisit the debate around the relationship between age, morbidity, time to death, life expectancy and HCE using a rich set of administrative records at the individual level on the use of health care services over time derived from Hospital Episode Statistics (HES).

Jesus: Our True Salvation
Jesus is in the business of giving new life. That's what I love about the work we do. When we make critical home repairs for homeowners in our partner communities, we are bringing new life to those homes. We are taking away the old and putting on the new.
Many people might look at our work and think it's not worth it. It takes a lot of time, money, and energy to provide critical home repairs with volunteers for nearly 40 homeowners every year. And many of the houses we repair are in pretty rough shape before we begin. Some people might even pity us...feeling like our work is wasteful or not going to solve any problems.
But many people also looked upon the life of Jesus and his early followers and pitied them too. In fact, Paul reminds us that were it not for the resurrection, we of all people are to be most pitied (1 Corinthians 15:19). It is because Jesus was raised from the dead - to new life - that we have hope beyond this life. If Jesus was not raised from the dead, then we have no hope. That's what we celebrate during this Easter season - the hope that we have of eternal life with our glorious and loving God because of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
And that is our motivation. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, it is worth all the hard work and sweat and time and energy to demonstrate that love to the world through providing home repair. It allows us a tangible way to show others of the new life of which we speak. And it allows many homeowners in our community to taste a little bit of the hope that is offered in Christ. Our home repairs do not bring salvation to anyone. But they are a step towards setting right some of the broken things in this world. And our hope and prayer is that through that we are painting a dim picture of the hope that comes through trusting in Jesus.

Microsoft's Halo TV series is still a thing! Um... hooray? First announced back at the Redmond giant's E3 press conference in 2013, news on the small screen project has been rarer than a shot of Master Chief's unmasked mug over the last couple of years. Yet thanks to some intrepid sleuthing by website AR12Gaming, Microsoft has finally given an update on the project.
Image: Microsoft
When asked if the Halo series was still in the works, here's what MS told the site:
"Progress on the Halo Television Series continues. We want to ensure we're doing this the right way together with a team of creative partners (Steven Spielberg and Showtime) that can help us build the best Halo series that fans expect and deserve. We have no further details to share at this time."
Bet you'd forgotten the Beard was involved, right? Here's the moment the series was first announced over four years ago (not too many folk cared then, even less care now):
Considering almost every live-action Halo production ever made has sucked Grunt balls (aside from the awesome ads), I won't be shedding any tears if the show ends up going the way of the quietly canned Xbox Fitness. Seriously, did any of you see the miniseries Halo: Nightfall? Despite having Luke Cage dressed up as a Spartan, it was an unmitigated atrocity; a hammy, dreadfully acted crime against nature.
Really, Microsoft should probably drop this and focus on, y'know, trying to make Halo 6 substantially better than the hugely uneven Halo 5.

The Knot Rocks JCK at Hyde Bellagio by Andrea Eppolito Weddings and Events
he Knot Rocks JCK was designed & produced by Las Vegas Wedding Planner Andrea Eppolito.
Images by Adam Frazier Photography. Video by Pure Light Creative. ©
I am so proud to partner with The Knot Pro, planning and designing their industry events in Las Vegas. Just last month we produced "The Knot Rocks JCK" in celebration of the luxury jewelry industry.
By combining the The Knot's 20 year history as the most trusted wedding authority online with JCKs industry leaders known for showcasing the most sought after trends in bridal jewelry, we filled the room with nearly 300 of the most well respected bridal industry leaders in the world.
We designed this event to feel a bit dark and moody, with a 1920's "Atonement" feel. Think a gentleman's library, jewel toned dresses, red lips, and lots of jewels. We closed off the back of Hyde Bellagio with an ornate drape to keep the event intimate. In the center of the dance floor we will build a mock-fountain set with florals, with additional pieces being hung over the balcony. The Lucky Devil's band played both classics and the standards while guests enjoyed cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and a selection of award winning pieces.
When The Knot Pro wrote about the event on Twitter, they said, "Andrea Eppolito knows a thing or two about throwing a rockin' party." Right back atcha, my friends!
Many thanks to our creative partners for their work: Sponsor: Centurion Jewelry | Planner: Andrea Eppolito Events | Venue: Hyde Bellagio | Decor, Floral & Models: By-Dzign | Band: Lucky Devils Band | Photographer: Adam Frazier Photographer | Videographer:Pure Light Creative | Photo Booth: Shutterbooth LV | Hair & Makeup: Makeup in the 702
And if you like this, just wait until you see what we do come October when The Knot Rocks WMBA!

Sea Jousting
On the banks of the Bastide Saint-Louis lies the Canal du Midi. An incredible engineering feat that connected the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean across the south of France, eliminating the long and dangerous sail around Spain. The construction of the 240 km canal took twelve years and required the building of 64 locks, 55 aqueducts, 7 canal bridges, and 126 canal-crossing bridges.
The day we were there they were having the sea jousting championship of Carcassonne. Having seen this exhibition once before in Palavos we were excited to show it to Zoe again. As described in a website on sea jousting the explanation is as follows. Two substantial wooden boats (barques lourdes) are rowed towards each other by eight or ten oarsmen. They pass each other on the left, much like horses in conventional land jousts. One jouster on each boat stands on a special raised platform (la tintaine) at the stern of the boat about three metres (10 feet) above the surface of the water. In addition to the jouster and the rowers, the crew consists of a helmsman (timonier patron) and two musicians, one playing a kind of drum (tambour) and the other a kind of oboe (hautbois). Also on board, under the tintaine, are jousters who will take part in the next joust. The boats themselves are painted red and blue and fly red and blue chequered flags respectively. To add to the carnival atmosphere the crews sing ancient jousting songs, accompanied by their onboard bands as the boats speed towards each other. As well as the two musicians on board, a band plays along with events from the shore. Jousters carry a shield (a bouclier, technically a "pavois") 70 cm high and 40 cm wide, and a lance now 2.8 metres long (before 1920 it was 3 metres long). They are obliged to wear pure white costumes and white shoes. A direct hit will propel the unlucky jouster up into air before he falls into the water. The winner is the one (if there is one) remaining on the tintaine after the other has been hoist into the elements. The first sea jousts were In 1270 as Louis IX (now Saint Louis) left for his abortive Crusade to Egypt, sea-jousts took place at Aigues-Mortes. A tournament was recorded in Lyon on 2 June 1177. Sea Jousts were known all around the Mediterranean coast, apparently promoted by the Romans (who also liked jousts in their water-filled amphitheatres). An account survives of such an event held at Strasbourg in AD 303, in honour of the great Emperor Diocletian. Before that the Greeks had been fans of the sport - probably introducing it to Massalia (modern Marseilles), and before them the Egyptians were practitioners. Bas reliefs from Egypt (III to VI dynasties, 2780 to 2380 BC) show nautical jousts, possibly representing a genuine form of warfare, which look only marginally more dangerous than the methode Languedocienne. http://www.languedoc-france.info/040210_seajousting.htm
Notice the two boys still swimming in the water.
And Voila as Zoe says here we are watching the sea jousts.

Marble & Copper
Step aside, gold and silver — copper has been having a serious moment in the wedding world (and it's not ending anytime soon). A warmer version of brass, yet a bit more saturated than rose gold, copper-inspired hues make a stylish accent to any wedding color palette. It blends perfectly with trending warm tones, like blush and coral, but also looks just as chic when balancing out cool grays and marble whites. Get inspired by these adorable copper-inspired wedding accents and decor.
Marble wedding styling has been incredibly popular for a while now, and, the trend appears to be going absolutely nowhere. Marble patterns continues to filter into many different wedding styling elements, from wedding cakes to invitations and even place cards too.
Geometric Shapes
tired of flower patterns? Don't want to have a pastel-colored wedding? Choose geometric shapes for your big day design! These cool shapes attract attention and bright colors raise your mood. Have a look at some ideas: geometric garlands, favors and table decorations in bright colors will make your guests happy and the atmosphere cheerful. Save the dates, invitations, tablecloths and tableware – don't hesitate to use them in your décor! Don't forget about your own look: a geometric dress, make up with this theme, a boutonniere and a tie – enjoyable and colorful! To crown it all, order a pretty geometric cake and let your wedding be the most original in the world!
Move over cupcake and macaron towers it's now time for wedding donuts to shine! In addition to your wedding cake, in lieu of a cake or even placed on the cake, donuts are a fun and modern, not to mention tasty trend for the big day. Add them to a plain cake or stack em' up high for a real wow factor.
3D Florals
2018 brings in a whole new season of wedding dresses and we're seeing a lot of romantic flowers adorning otherwise fairly minimal gowns and veils. For inspiration, look to Viktor & Rolf or Oscar de la Renta, who have nailed the whimsical feel perfectly.
Transparent Elements
Wedding Planner & Blogger, Charley at London Bride (london-bride.com), tells us 2018 will see a surge in see-through settings and décor. 'Everything from the venues themselves think Glasshouses, or light bright spaces with full windows to Perspex hanging seating plans, tablescapes featuring an abundance of glass details with printed goods on semi-transparent paper. Great for modern and minimalist couples who like clean lines and Scandi vibes'.
New Food
Modern couples are more often opting out of the traditional 3-course set menu for their wedding breakfast. Instead, choosing food they love – from big sharing plates to food vans and portable pizza ovens, wedding food is definitely seeing a change. For 2018 we predict more alternative options like Mexican, Japanese and Peruvian inspired cuisine – with tacos, sushi and ceviche on the menu.
Mobile bars
From vintage camper vans to refurbished horse boxes, we're seeing plenty of quirky options for mobile bars in 2018. Combine that with the recently popularity of prosecco, craft beers and gin bars at weddings, and you have yourself one hell of a party!
Light boxes
Light boxes are big in home décor at the moment, and we think they make the perfect finishing touch to wedding decorations too! Use them to spell your new married names, your wedding dates, or handy instructions like 'Bar this way' or 'Please sign the guest book here'. Thanks to the fact that they light up, light boxes work especially well at evening receptions.

For this round's New to Two pick, David chose a rather oddball film that came out just last year, Ingrid Goes West. Ingrid is ragingly insecure, tying her self-worth to how close she can get to people with "perfect" lives and how much of their approval she can earn. She does not take rejection well. While Nicole and Brett weren't sure how much they liked the film, there was a lot of meat to dig into here, and we had some good, deep discussion about mental illness, the role of social media in our lives, and the value of Batman.
Next week is Netflix Roulette! The movie? Memoir of a Murderer. It actually looks good!

The Beloved (pbuh) and balance in what he ate
March 17, 2009 at 10:47 am Leave a comment
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
والحمدلله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين
In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful the Most Compassionate
All praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the most noble of the Prophets and Messengers
Salaam AlaikumMuslims always speak about being a 'balanced' Ummah- indeed it is Allah who has called us "Ummatan Wasata"- a Middle Nation. But do we really practice what we preach?
"The one who is physically healthy, safe in his community and is sufficiently nurtured will possess the whole world." (Tirmidhi) If we look at the Companions (ra), none of them was described as being fat. Umar (ra) once saw a man who was very fat. He said, "What is that?" [meaning the man's belly] The man responded by saying, "This is a blessing from Allah." Umar responded, "No! It is a punishment from Allah."
What is being emphasized here is not that we should not enjoy food or treat ourselves, as this is obviously halal for us, and not that we should starve ourselves. But the point is that we should reflect on ourselves personally and think of our lifestyles and whether or not they are in accordance with the way of the Prophet (pbuh).
Finally, the Prophet (pbuh) advised us to eat what we need, saying:"No human being fills a container to worse effect than he fills his own stomach. It is sufficient for a human being to have a few bites to keep himself fit (which means that it is sufficient to have only what one needs to maintain strength and well-being).
If he must eat ( or according to another version "If a human being cannot resist the temptation…"), then let him use one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for breathing"
Disclaimer: I am not saying I am a very healthy eater myself. I research and write these things in order to force myself to inshAllah be better 🙂 Also, there are differences with men's bodies and women's, so I am also not advocating crash diets for fast weightloss, what is important here is health [drink camel milk, it's good for you]
Simple Sunna: don't be so critical
Anas (ra) relates from the Prophet (pbuh) that he would not criticize any food ever: When he desired a food, he used to eat it, or else he used to leave it and abstain from eating it.

Have you developed or had the inkling to develop something that might benefit mankind all together? Or have only developed something that will make kitchen life easier in your garage? Regardless products your current or future inventions always be you need acquire the steps to guard them. Getting a patent on your item is a step to insuring no one can copy your product or cheat get you started of money.
In order to obtain a patent to all your device, product, or service you need have three important things. These are money, a journal outlining what it really is your offering, and diagrams to illustrate how it succeeds. These can differ in form, presentation, function, or implementation but nevertheless needed in order to get a patent. You to help be able showing that your device works and the way works in order for it regarding categorized with the patent office. A person have have acquired your patent you have 20 years to research, refine, develop, and market goods with no competition.
However you don't need a patent to begin production and marketing of your nutritional supplement. You can begin producing and selling your idea immediately if saturate mind cheap imitations and copycat service popping up around you. When you do this and apply for a patent your solution will often be labeled patent pending meaning that the application has been sent.
When acquiring a patent you should check to is essential your invention is not already in exercise. The rules are that in the event the service, new invention ideas or product is used in this or another country you cannot patent it. Patents cannot be issued for old ideas described in books that have been made feasible with modern technology. For product patent example, scholar A that lived in 300 AD likely would have had an indisputable fact that wasn't practical at the time due to technological limitations.
If he published his idea publicly and it is general public knowledge then inventor B cannot get a patent for that work in today's world. This is as a result of fact that welcome this change inventor publicized his invention at time even though exercises, diet tips a flight of fancy so to talk. This is an extreme example but it is doing get the way. A person may only apply for a patent if their idea is unique, has not been done before, and is currently not utilised by another entity in any known country.
People who file patents jointly both receive the rights to the patent provided that both helped develop the idea. In the instance where one person simply provides the money and another occurs with the idea the person who comes up together with idea will obtain the patent. This should not be forgotton when one person merely follows the instructions of make certain who actually came out with the conception.
While patenting your device takes a period of time and effort it is worth it. Once a patent is installed no one else can compete with your exact product for 20 years. This can be of time to create improvements and solidify your place in the market. It's important to that the investments that you make during this period will make or break your business so spend wisely and avoid business pitfalls.

Focus is the ability to develop a "stability of attention," the ability to "self-monitor," and the ability to disengage from distraction. Athletes often describe it as being "in the zone." Others describe it as "flow" – the feeling of being so engaged that "time stops." No matter how one perceives it, focus is something that has been pursued for centuries through meditation and "mindfulness."
Through mindfulness and meditation research, neuroscientists have come to recognize that the balanced and centered brain is able to focus in an efficient and superior manner. By training a quiet and clear brain, the more subtle and complex thoughts come into awareness – thus we become more focused. We become more resilient, more connected, more ourselves; allowing intuition and inspiration to flow. These basic principles underlie the approach that Dr. Nichols has taken in developing the protocol that is the foundation of Brainnasium.
The advantage of integrating modern neuroscience with the eastern tradition of meditation is that essential mental training can be accomplished in a much shorter time, working with the brain's inherent neuroplasticity – or the brain's ability to learn new, and more functional abilities. Instead of months of meditation, the research shows that neuro brain training can achieve the same results in a few short sessions. Brainnasium training acts as a mental compass, showing the way into states that are difficult to reach without guidance. After a few Brainnasium sessions many report that they are able to effortlessly reach states of focus never achieved before!

Gregor Tarjan, Aeroyacht Founder, contacted me last year to let me know he was launching a supercatamaran project involving great naval architects Morelli and Melvin and to ask me if we could meet to talk about the project. We met in Paris during the boat show and Gregor decided to trust me with promoting the Aeroyacht 110. I am very proud to introduce this amazing yacht in the luxurycatamaran blog.
Long Island, New York (USA), February 16 th 2009.
Designed by Gregor Tarjan in collaboration with renowned Multihull architects team Morrelli & Melvin Design and Engineering Inc, the Aeroyacht 110 is today's most innovative super yacht.
Gregor Tarjan, founder of Aeroyacht International Ltd: "I have long admired Wally yachts. Seeing nothing comparable to them among luxury catamarans, I decided it was time for me to launch my own supercatamaran. I have created the Aeroyacht 110 from scratch following the motto: no compromise on speed and beauty. She is the first model of a sleek new range (a 95' and 125' are in the works), representing the ultimate high-performance, supremely styled world traveler.
I am privileged to be part of a most competent team including the famous naval architect Pete Melvin from Morrelli & Melvin Design and Engineering Inc, and my friend Vincent Duchatelet, a talented French interior designer. I recently went on a round-the-world trip to find the best shipyards that we have licensed to build this extraordinary yacht".
Some of the Aeroyacht 110 comfort innovations:
o A two seats Icon A5 amphibian sports plane launched from a specially designed platform.
o A 32' wide salon with all around water views
Some of the Aeroyacht 110 design innovations:
o "Hatch modules "for air intake and exhaust while keeping a totally flush deck.
o A low profile semi-fly bridge for vessel commands and aesthetics
o 450 square feet of integrated solar panels…
Some of the Aeroyacht 110 technical innovations:
o Reverse bows preventing down force and reducing pitching.
o A competition wing-rig designed by world specialist Paul "Whirly" Van Dyke
o Double chined hulls for better vessel stability and esthetics…
Recently, internationally renowned designer Ora-ïto was quoted as describing the Aeroyacht 110 as his favorite yacht.
The Aeroyacht 110 will offer race boats sailing sensations in a superyacht comfort environment and will not go unnoticed. She will be built by licensed shipyards around the world known for the quality of their work and their expertise in composite work.

New figures have revealed that 4587 incidents of domestic abuse were recorded by the police in North Lanarkshire in 2017-18.
It means there are now 13 incidents each day within the local authority area and comes at a time when the Scottish Government considers abolishing jail sentences of less than a year.
Across Scotland, the number of domestic abuse cases rose one per cent for the second year in a row to 59,541.
Around four in every five cases involved a female victim and male perpetrator, and the vast majority occurred in a home setting.
In her Programme for Government in 2017, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said she wanted to abolish prison sentences of less than 12 months.
That provoked a furious response from domestic abuse charities, who warned most offences that resulted in jail time tended to involve sentences of that length.
Central Scotland list MSP Graham Simpson said: "It will be very concerning to the people of North Lanarkshire that domestic violence appears to be on the rise – 13 incidents every day within the council area is a staggering number.
"As domestic abuse charities have pointed out, Nicola Sturgeon's plan to abolish short prison sentences could result in abusers being let straight back into homes.
"I fully support the police as they strive to crack down on perpetrators, but this is undermined by a soft-touch Scottish Government at the top which wants to let such people walk free from court."

RIO DE JANEIRO — The Brazilian police have arrested a businessman listed by the United States as a member of Hezbollah, the powerful Lebanese militant group, under suspicion of operating a fraudulent scheme in the clothing industry — a far cry from the arms, drugs, explosives and counterfeit bills that American officials have suspected him of trafficking in during the past.
Officials with Brazil's Civil Police said the suspect, Hamzi Ahmad Barakat, 50, a Lebanese citizen with ties to the Triple Frontier region of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, was arrested Thursday in the city of Curitiba in southern Brazil in connection with creating a network of front companies to defraud Lebanese immigrants who had recently arrived in Brazil.
The arrest focuses new attention on the Triple Frontier, a smugglers' haven that has long been under the scrutiny of intelligence agencies from the United States, Israel and South American nations. In 2006, the Treasury Department designated Mr. Barakat as a member of Hezbollah and said he owned and managed a store in Paraguay that "served as a source of funding" for the group, which the United States considers a terrorist organization.
Cassiano Aufiero, the police investigator in charge of the case, said officials were aware that Mr. Barakat had been linked to Hezbollah, but added that their investigation was in connection to other activities. Mr. Aufiero said charges against Mr. Barakat would include embezzlement and the creation of false documents in schemes involving the resale of clothing.
"He was preying on his own countrymen, using their identities to create companies to carry out schemes," Mr. Aufiero said. He said Mr. Barakat had been held in a state penitentiary in Curitiba since his arrest.
John Sullivan, a spokesman for the Treasury Department in Washington, said the description of Mr. Barakat as a Hezbollah member still stood.
After the Treasury Department described the links of Mr. Barakat and eight others in the Triple Frontier region to Hezbollah, Brazil's government responded by saying there were no signs of terrorism financing in the border region, which has long attracted large numbers of immigrants from the Middle East.
In 2004, the Treasury Department called Mr. Barakat's brother, Assad Ahmad Barakat, one of Hezbollah's "most prominent and influential members," and said he used an electronics wholesale store in the Triple Frontier as a cover for raising funds for Hezbollah. The Brazilian police arrested Assad Ahmad Barakat in 2002 and deported him to Paraguay, where he went to prison for tax evasion.

Contingent valuation (CV) is a type of stated-preference study that uses surveys to elicit willingness-to-pay (WTP) for goods and services that have not yet been introduced into the market, subject to a budget constraint. The four common CV methods used are dichotomous choice, open-ended questions, bidding game and payment card.
The DOVE-CV project focuses on how best to conduct CV studies to obtain more valid and less biased WTP estimates for mortality risk reductions in resource-poor settings. To this end, we have performed a literature review on contingent valuation studies from low- and middle-income countries in order to make a preliminary assessment of the conditions and resources needed to apply these methods, and explore the current evidence gaps.
With emphasis on Gavi-Asia countries (Bangladesh, specifically) the DOVE-CV team is performing a pilot study to understand what methods are best suited for the Bangladeshi context, as well as investigating the role of cognitive interviews in ensuring participants' understanding of questions, to allow for more valid WTP estimates. We will be eliciting WTP for mortality risk reductions for vaccine-preventable diseases, through a quasi-randomized convenience sample of every 10th patient at two health facilities in Bangladesh. This project is currently in the planning phase.

Places You Have to Visit When Touring San Diego
When thinking of going on a long vacation with your friends or loved ones, I highly recommend that you visit San Diego Ca. San Diego has always been a huge tourist attraction in the states because of it's excellent climate and beautiful destinations. No matter what time of the year it is, you will never regret visiting San Diego CA. This is especially for those who are planning to bring their whole family with them.
In this article, allow me to share with you a few fun things you have to do when touring San Diego CA.
1. Go on a harbor cruise.
Going on a harbor cruise is without a doubt, one if not the best way to start off you tour. Relax while riding on a boat and experience San Diego's beautiful landscapes and harbors.
2. Take time to appreciate the whales.
Doesn't matter if you are young or old, you will appreciate and be fascinated with the whales you will see in San Diego. These are marvelous creatures that can only be seen during the months of December to May. You and your whole family will definitely remember this trip.
3. Visit the zoo with your kids.
Touring San Diego's world-famous zoo and wild animal park should be on the top of your list especially if you are bringing your kids with you. This will not only give joy to you and your kids, it can also be a very educative tour.
4. Visit the city's different museums.
A visit to San Diego CA or any state for that matter is never complete without touring their museums. If visiting museums and learning more about a city's culture and background is one of your hobbies, you will love San Diego CA because it has more than 25 museums that are open to the public. This is something you shouldn't miss out on.
5. Visit La Jolla.
Have you ever asked yourself where do celebrities go when they visit San Diego? La Jolla is the answer to your question. If you are a nature lover, you are sure to have a blast touring this place. When it comes to restaurants and boutiques, you will also love La Jolla. Shopping and dining will never be your problem.
6. You have to experience the lighthouse dream.
To appreciate San Diego's beautiful landscapes and views even more, I highly recommend that you visit the Cabrillo National Monument. This is where you will find one of the city's popular tourist destinations- the lighthouse. You will feel incredible taking a look at some of the world's most breath-taking views while relaxing in a pool.
7. Go on a carousel ride.
To end your vacation, why not take your kids to Grandiose antique carousel. You will see this antique carousel when you visit Seaport Village Stroll. The whole family will enjoy shopping, dining, and of course, experiencing fun rides.
3 Activities Tips from Someone With Experience

Style: Conditioning
Duration: 45 min
Intensity: Low
Props: Blanket, Blocks, Massage Balls, Strap
Class Description
When we side bend (flex laterally), our spine often also moves into a slight backbend (extension), forward bend (flexion), or twist (rotation). In this practice, you'll strengthen the musculature that controls lateral flexion in order to resist the desire to compensate in other directions and instead find a pure side bend!
This class includes "rollout sessions" (strength, mobility, and proprioception-building therapy ball techniques) and intermittent check-ins (where you'll explore the effects of the work you've done). Throughout, you'll practice variations of vasisthasana (side plank) and gradually progress toward a full side plank.
The intention for this class is: "I embody my body."
The balls you'll need: 1 (or 2) Yoga Tune Up® Coregeous Ball(s), 1 Yoga Tune Up® Alpha Ball
Additional resources Jill mentions in this video:
- Yoga Tune Up®: Ankle
- Core Integration

I just sent Chad this video of two gorillas (don't stop reading–nothing negative here) being reunited with the family that raised them in their early days before releasing them into the wild. It's such a cute video and worth a few short minutes of time if you are looking for something a little light and airy on this Friday.
Chad emailed me back. . .
"That's amazing!"
I responded immediately, "Right?! I want two–because I don't want it to be an only-gorilla."
"Sure thing!" he responded.
So, we are making plans to bring gorillas into our home. There is a "no farm animal policy" in our neighborhood, but I don't think gorillas qualify as farm animals, so we should be okay, right?
It's been a heavy week. Just last night I was remarking to Chad how incredibly tragic the news has been this week. One after another, stories of loss and tragedy have appeared weighing on the hearts of everyone around the world, I know. I'm feeling like we need a little light and airy here.
Speaking of airy, I just went to the laundry room and moved clothes from the washer to the dryer. Charlie was asking me a question so I left the laundry room to talk to him. When we were done, I returned to the laundry room and moved the clothes from the dryer to the washer and felt very confused as to how to work the "dryer".
Airy, I can do.
We have slid into our summer days with ease. The adjustment period we seemed to need in years passed seem only a faint memory and the days are slipping by while we, for the most part, are basking in their beauty.
I never imagined myself as a country girl. I never imagined that I would fall in love with big wide spaces and open skies. And as much as I love visiting big cities, I recently told Chad, I can't imagine life anywhere else. (No need to remind me of this when all the grass is brown and fallen leaves have left the trees naked and the temperature is 5 degrees.)
I mean, let's been real–it's not like we live on a farm. I probably can't be called a true-blooded country girl. I don't even own overalls, for goodness sake. But really, we don't have horses or goats or sheep or cows. . . well, sort of.
But we do have our fair share of creatures–even if there are no cows or horses on our property. . .
But still, a look out the window makes me so thankful that we landed in this spot and our days are spent in these wide open spaces.
Mornings spent exploring and discovering. . .
. . . are only made better when friends join us.
Don't get me wrong. Sometimes we find ourselves at places that are a bit less wide open, but produce smiles nonetheless. . .
The things of summer. That's all it really is. Breathing in the fresh air and soaking up every bit of daylight that we can. Summertime and all her hours are such a gift that we don't take for granted. . .
And we will continue to do so until the inevitable day comes. . .
When our little ones think we really aren't all that cool.
But at least, when that time comes, we'll have our gorillas.
Happy Friday, Friends!

Another busy night at out Friday club with 35 kids. Tiffies began with some singing before demonstrating that the taste of salt cannot be hidden in food. This was likened to covering up sin when we've done something wrong. Tiffies used the example of warm water washing away hardened salt to demonstrate how Jesus is the only one who can wash us clean. We then had fun activities of hama bead patterns, games and challenges.
In our student zone Leah began with a song. Zander then split us into groups where we continued to look at the book of Acts. We discussed the day of Pentecost and the promise of the Holy Spirit to believers. We had some good discussion and questions in our groups. We came back together for a short time of prayer with many young people taking part. It was a good night. We finished with some birthday celebrations for two of our youth leaders.

This week I had the honor of being published on the highly coveted White Magazine for a styled shoot I had been dreaming up all summer long. SO exciting! Before jumping to the gallery, I wanted to share the inspiration for what led to my initial vision for this shoot. This is hopefully right up your alley if you're all about organic, boho style and your spirit animal is a succulent ;)
The initial inspiration for this photo shoot came to me in a very simple form; texture.
I had just finished taking a Ginny Au styling course and felt led to start creating a mood board based off of particular textures that spoke to me. I ended up with a palate whose end result birthed in the shoot below. I wanted to showcase a "bohemian meets Anthropologie" aesthetic, if you will. There are so many couples who fit this look/demographic and I wanted to create a set of vignettes to cater to this particular vibe. Enter DIG Gardens in beautiful Santa Cruz. This space brought my vision to life the moment I stepped in. Every where you turn, there's something to marvel at.
The vessels I picked out were all from DIG and each unique in their own way. Even in constructing the dessert table vignette, I wanted to showcase multiple tables of different sizes and shapes. I think there's something so enamoring about aesthetics you don't see every day. We're so used to seeing one cake on one table at weddings, so this look was so fun for my team to put together.
The table set up was personally my favorite part of this shoot because of all the elements I was able to incorporate. We used DIG Garden's beautiful farm table and chairs, and topped the table with Rachel Wadlow's beautiful hand-dyed indigo napkins, a gorgeous set of mismatched Anthropologie plates I picked out, and natural wood cut flatware. Angie of Bobo Design Studio came alongside my vision and created these stunning vellum menus and laser cut name cards for each seat.
