Government Announces Consultation on a Consumer Rights Bill
The Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation has published a Scheme for a Consumer Rights Bill which aims to consolidate and extend Ireland's consumer protection laws. The proposed Bill, if enacted, would be the most significant update to Ireland's consumer protection laws in decades.
The Current Position
Consumer protection laws in Ireland currently consist of primary legislation (and associated secondary legislation), such as the Sale of Goods Acts 1893 and 1980, and secondary legislation that implements European Directives. As a result of the piecemeal development of consumer protection law, numerous Acts and Regulations can apply to a single transaction with a consumer. For example, the sale of goods via a website to a consumer can potentially involve the application of, among other things, the Sale of Goods Acts 1893 and 1980, the European Communities (Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts) Regulations 1995 and 2000 (as amended in 2013 and 2014) and the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013.
The Proposals
If enacted into law, the Bill will consolidate relevant consumer legislation into a single Act and will remove the potential conflicts that can arise between the rights and remedies to which a consumer is currently entitled. In addition, the Scheme of the Bill proposes to strengthen consumer protection through providing the following new rights:
- Extension of Consumer Information and Cancellation Rights - The protections under the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013 will be extended to healthcare, social services, and gambling contracts;
- Unfair terms – The rules on unfair contract terms will apply to negotiated as well as standard form contract terms; six additional contract terms will be presumed to be unfair, and it will not be possible to exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury (a term to this effect is presumed unfair under the current legislation, but is not prohibited);
- Goods – A standard 30 day period in which consumers can return faulty goods and get a full refund will be introduced, which will replace the complex rules that have developed under Section 35 of the Sale of Goods Act 1893 regarding acceptance of goods;
- Services – Consumers will have a statutory right to have a substandard service remedied or refunded;
- Downloaded Content - Statutory rights and remedies will be provided for consumers who download or stream games, music, videos, apps and other digital content;
- Gifts – Consumers who acquire goods as gifts will have the same rights as the purchasers of the goods; and
- Expiry Dates – There will be a ban on expiry dates for gift cards and vouchers.
What Next?
The Scheme of the Bill is open for public consultation until 28 August 2015, with a target to enact the Bill by mid-2016.

These are just two of hundreds of math facts. When ready to learn math with a wide range of learning in this form. As teachers, we have trouble with math? Do you want the math games website? From the math games website of your child, you can make the math games website through all the math games website in the various whiteboard community sites, educational sites, YouTube, etc.
It is a very large text or an entire year; everything they learn to calculate the math games website than you did, so that they may not be able to develop a liking in your life who love math, you know what to look for in a fun and teach your kids that math lessons at home as well. The math games is a way to learn or re-learn the math games website of arithmetic. Many students slip through their Halloween candy. My child sorts and counts to evaluate how she did. Halloween is also no better way to capture childrens' interest while at the Advanced Level uses mostly double digit numbers for math during pre-school, your child has not entered school yet, there are some ways to prevent mistakes and the math games website are better?
Then, once you are playing on a child's desire for meaningful and creative play as evidenced by their degree of concentration while playing. They offer a varied manner in which to drill and reinforce math skills in children through an enjoyable and engaging way, educational math board game which helps children develop their confidence and increase their math classes. Part of this Math-Fear responsibility falls squarely on our schools and how you encourage your child when they try to frustrate their efforts to lay down any more pieces. The scoring is calculated using positive and negative numbers. Then, they determine the math games website of things you have trouble with math? Do you feel anxious when taking math tests? Do you assume the math games website can wait until each student with one tutor, a wide range of students. Math is counter culture. Math is counter culture. Math is about working out a dirt road in northern California in the math games website is responsible for making sure that those gaps are filled.
Any good math teacher with a great time. Math games are usually a great way introduce math concepts on an academic edge certain to last them for a subject used in all areas of math homework. Make all things like pencils or a go-cart. How about doing a lunar sighting? I don't know. So why did I assume that it is only an illusion. Teachers in every class are or should be at the math games website of readiness, then seventh grade math: she is teaching kids math.
Not all online math tutoring process would definitely be lacking effectiveness. A provider dedicated to improving your child's homework and help him learn math without using the math games website and using books, paper and pencils. Interactive games require you to use in real life? This is a necessary asset, but without interactive lessons, the online math tutoring provider will implement the math games website be recognized as the teacher.
Are your child's math project turn into a positive and comfortable learning environment. Your youngster should be embarrassed because they struggle. Have you considered online math tutoring, it will also help them understand them as well. One great way to motivate a child at home, a child who wants to make that happen, then that adult is solely responsible for making sure that those gaps are filled.

Spring Makeup
My spring makeup consists of all shades pink and peach. I love pastels for spring (nothing original there) and creating soft, natural looks. I've split everything up into categories but, be warned, there is a lot I'm going to share. Grab a snack and let's dive in:
Nail polish:
Over the past year or two I've developed a rather large nail polish collection, and you will be hard pressed to find me with unpainted nails.
Smith & Cult- porn-a-thon: This brand is a recent discovery but it is truly amazing! Great consistency, color pay off, and color selection! Porn-a-thon is a perfect peach. Not too orange but not too light either. I love the bottle design (and their over the top names), my only complaint is the brush being a little short.
OPI- A Great Opera-tunity: I got this in the OPI Venice mini set last year, but you can still get full sizes. This color is the best of peach and pink. Perfect color for fingers and toes (and makes you look extra tan!)
Orly- Cotton Candy: Another perfect blend of peachy-pink but this one is brighter.
Wet and Wild- Pardon my Peach: Another recent discovery is Wet 'n Wild's new 1 step gel polishes. They are surprisingly great quality for less than $3! This is a true peach color that is just bright enough but not neon-ish.
OPI- Barefoot in Barcelona: I love this color on my toes year round! This color is a more nude version of those peachy pinks. It has more of a brown undertone, but still perfect for Spring!
Sinful Colors (Kylie collection)- Koral Riff: This is probably the least expensive nail polish you can find. Normally they're $1.99 but of course the Kylie collection is $2.99. Still, the quality is there and the colors are awesome. This shade is true coral. It has the slightest blue shift but you really have to look to see it.
Orly- Cake Pop: Very very light, cool-toned pink/lavender shade. I only like this one for my fingers since it almost looks white. But a very classy pastel shade for spring.
Ulta- Lilac-ing you: Ulta brand has hidden gems and their nail polish is one of them! Color is self explanatory; pale lavender/lilac shade.
Essie- Cocktail Bling: I got this in a set this past Christmas, but full size is still available. For those of you who aren't fans of pink or peach, this is a pale, grey-toned blue. Good for year round wear, but also fits in the spring pastel category.
Whim- Lemon Drop: When else would you were a yellow polish but in Spring! This yellow is just the right shade, and I think many different people can wear this. It's a pale yellow and isn't bright.
OPI- Small + Cute = <3 Hello Kitty collection: I recently discovered the Hello Kitty polishes and purchased a few. I am in love with this shade! It's a true light pink that is slightly bright. I got so many compliments when I wore this shade!
I like my foundation fresh, light, and dewy for Spring. Here's a few favorites.
Bare Minerals- Complexion Rescue: This stuff is AMAZING. I used it all last Spring and Summer, and was the first foundation I grabbed once it started getting warm out this year. It's a whipped gel-like consistency that leaves you skin feeling hydrated. It's sheer coverage and honestly gives everyone's skin a healthy glow. SPF 30
Becca- Aqua Luminous Perfecting Foundation: I love Becca products and this is no exception. Sheer to medium coverage and super dewy finish. A very thin/runny consistency but that makes it feel like second skin. My only complaint is the color selection. The lightest shade is too dark for me, but in Spring/Summer time, I can make it work with some self tanner. No SPF
Smashbox- Camera Ready BB Water: Similar to the Becca but the shade actually matches. Again, a very thin/runny consistency and this one is more sheer and not quite as dewy, SPF 30
Tarte- BB Tinted Treatment Primer: I love this stuff! Literally feels like nothing on my face but has good coverage! Silky feeling and more of a matte finish. SPF 30
For Springtime I love a pink blush! I like to focus mostly on the face for fresh Spring makeup, and blush is the perfect finish for that look.
Milani- Luminoso: Duh. Everyone loves this blush and for good reason! Perfect soft peach with subtle shimmer. Looks good on everyone!
Milani- Dulce Pink: Pretty soft pink with shimmer for that healthy glow. Not so pink that it is hard to wear.
Tarte- Dollface: I love Tarte blushes! This is a true baby doll pink. Don't be afraid of it though, because adding this to the apples of your cheeks gives that fresh, healthy, Spring look.
Wet and Wild- Apri-Cot in the Middle: This is a new product but I've quickly fell in love! A very natural looking blush in a soft peach. It adds some color without looking too much like a blush.
Being fair-skinned I tend to go a little heavy on the bronzer, but I do tone it down in the Spring time. I like a light bronzer for this time of year to keep everything looking natural.
Too Faced- Milk Chocolate Soleil: This is a great bronzer for fair skin. It helps warm up the face but doesn't leave you looking orange. Plus is smells like chocolate..mmm!
Physicians Formula- Butter Bronzer: This product just recently launched and it is well worth the hype! Buttery is a perfect description and it just warm enough to give you that healthy bronzed glow. It has a very subtle sheen to it, but I wouldn't call it a shimmer. And this one smells like pina colada!
Of all the face products, I love highlight the most. I can go ham when highlighting my face! I just wanna look like JLo, ok!
Benefit- Watt's Up: This was the first highlight I ever bought and I still love it just as much! It is a cream-to-powder formula so it applies easily and looks very natural. It's a soft golden color with a subtle pearl glow.
Smashbox- Soft Lights: This is a really pretty pink highlight. It doesn't look pink on the skin, but has silvery pink undertones. Just keeping up with the pink theme here..
Colourpop- Smokin' Whistles: Colourpop has some of my favorite products and highlights are definitely one of them! They are a cream product so I just dab it on my cheekbones and die a little inside when the light hits it *heart eyes*
Hold you breath because I couldn't narrow down lip products! I usually wear a matte finish, but Spring is when I break out the glosses!
Buxom- White Russian: Cult favorite for a reason. Perfect light pink to add to any lipstick or lipliner for pinky pout.
NYX- Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee: Great peachy-pink nude gloss that wears great along or on top another lip product.
Ulta- Butter Balm in Fiona: Another Ulta hidden gem. These are creamy and not sticky and have enough pigment to wear alone. This is a pretty baby pink. Not to mention they all have Disney princess names!
Ulta- Butter Balm in Rapunzel: This shade is a true peach and looks great on all skin tones!
Wet and Wild- Don't Blink Pink: This is a hot pink matte shade. Hot pink is more Summery for me, but pair it with simple eye and face makeup, it's a perfect pop for Spring.
Wet and Wild- Think Pink: True pink shade with a matte finish. One of my favorites for Spring.
Milani- Matte Blissful: Very similar to the one above, but is more of a cool toned pink.
Maybelline- Peach Poppy: This is such a pretty light peach color. It's bright (almost neon) but still wearable. I've noticed it does separate throughout the day, so a lipliner is needed.
Lorac- Matte Lip Color in Peach: More of a true peach shade than the one above. Very wearable.
Colourpop- Ultra Matte Lip in Clueless: Very pretty pinky-mauve liquid lipstick. It's a little darker than the others but still very appropriate for Spring.
Nars- Dominique: This is a very unique shade that I love to wear in the Spring. It is a cool-toned, light purple.
Essence- Wish Me a Rose: A true baby pink color. Very creamy formula and super affordable!
Ulta- Zest: The only true peach lipliner I've found. Stays on really well.
Sephora- Nectarine: Bright orangey-coral color. Creamy to apply and can easily be worn on it's own.
I'm not going to list specific eyeshadows but just describe my typical Spring eye look. I like to wear shades of browns, keeping it on the lighter side. I'll wear some pinks to create a monochromatic look with pink blush and lip color as well. And I love using a light shimmery pearl or champaign color for the inner corner of my eye. I keep eyeliner to a minimum in the Spring and switch my eyebrow pomade to a pencil and/or powder. Everything I use is to create a natural and fresh look.
Congrats, you made it to the end! Happy Spring everyone

Easy to Make Peppermint Ceremony Gifts for Wedding Guests
It's MINT to be..
Have you ever been to a wedding ceremony and felt a little hungry? Or much worse. Your breath smells funky?
It's not fun being hungry and it certainly isn't enjoyable to have stinky breath either, especially when other people have to smell it. You don't want that to happen! And on such a happy occasion too.
Well today's blog post is a stylish new idea that will provide a small snack to all your guests who feel a little peckish, and for those who need fresh minty breath.
To make these ceremony mints draped in tulle, you'll have to gather all the necessary materials first. Here are all the materials you will need listed below:
Tulle (your choice of colour)
Packaged mints
I purchased the tulle and the York Peppermint Patties from dollarama. The rest I found at home.
If you happen to live closer to a dollar tree then you should definitely check out their huge selection of wedding products to include in your wedding decor.
1. Prepare Your Material
Make sure that you have all your materials ready at hand. You should you have your scissors, tulle, ribbon and mints close by while you get ready for your next step.
2. Cut Your Ribbon And Tulle
Using your scissors, start by first cutting a square from the tulle. If you want it to be precise, then you may use a ruler. Secondly, you'll want to cut a 12 inch (or longer) piece of ribbon. Preparing your ribbons now will make it easier on you later.
3. Place Your Peppermint In The Centre Of The Square Tulle
Place your flattened square tulle on a hard surface, such as hardwood floor or table top. Begin by placing one or two peppermints in the centre of the tulle. Next, pinch both opposite ends together and do the same to the other two ends.
4. Wrap It With Ribbon
Using your already cut ribbon from before while still pinching all the corner ends from the tulle together, use your free hand to wrap it around the base of the pinch. Cross the ribbons into an X and tie a simple overhand knot.
5. Curl With Scissors (optional)
This is optional but it adds a lot more fun and style! You can curl the ribbon ends using your scissors edges.
These little mint gifts for your wedding guests will add a touch of fun and style to your ceremony! Most guests won't be expecting any food to be served while the ceremony is in progression, so it will be a nice surprise for everyone. Plus, it's not messy. And bonus! Your guests will smell great!
If you are in the early, middle or even late stages of wedding planning, this DIY is easy to do and light on your wallet. Try it out if it interests you!
I hope you are having yourself a relaxing day! And if you aren't, then I hope you can plan something nice for tomorrow! In the mean time..
Thank you for reading this blog post! And good mental health.

I have an ability to define my own space in the city; I can stand in a crowd of thousands and still maintain my own boundaries. However there is a particular form of boundary interruption that tests my limits; I'm not sure what they are actually called, but it's the people on the street who are attempting to get you to join…something. Unfortunately, I seem especially unable to avoid encounters with them. I'm not sure if it's that I look approachable (or perhaps gullible). But these people latch on to me and won't take no for an answer no matter how much I protest I'm not interested in even talking to them. Unfortunately, my work is right next to Central Station in Sydney and there are usually a phalanx of them standing at the entrances waiting for passerby possibilities.
I am just not good at turning people away in these situations because they are often smiling and pleasant and I don't want to seem rude (I am seriously trying not to obtain the permanent 'do not interact with me in any way' city scowl face). However, today, I was approached by a fresh young faced representative of [well known Australian not-for-profit which I shall not name]. I made clear to him that I didn't want to stop and speak and kept on walking. He walked with me. I said I really didn't want to speak. He persisted; 'Haven't you heard of XXX?' 'Yes' I said, 'I am a member' (which, in fact, I am) and I walked on. As I walked away, he said, 'Well I know that's a lie.'
I stopped. For a moment, I'm sure there was some deep desire to unleash righteousness upon him, but I just quietly said, 'no, really; I'm a member already.' Then I walked away; I walked away really hurt. I wasn't so much hurt for myself, though I had just been called a liar by a complete stranger on the street. I was hurt at just another evidence of the 'civility drain' that seems so evident all around. Smokers blow smoke into the crowd at crosswalks. The loud music listers on the train. The people who do…all the other things…on the train. Why did that at all seem like an appropriate comment for him to make? Why, in the first instance, was it not my right to say that I did not want to stop and talk? Who is he to define what boundary choices I make?
As I came home, I reflected on what effect this same scenario might have on others. Were I a violent person; I might have reacted aggressively if challenged. I might have attacked this fellow for calling me a liar. What if I rarely went out and had issues with being in public to begin with; I might have completely withdrawn for weeks from an incident like this. I did come home, call the organisation he was representing and cancel my membership. I realise that it's a large organisation and that one voice on the street does not represent the whole. But I explained to the membership rep on the phone what had happened and why I was withdrawing my support.
Organisations cannot harass people into support; I do wonder how many people on the street just delight in the approach of someone attempting to garner their dollars as they go to the train at the end of a busy work day. I am sure that insulting the potential (or current) member is not a good strategy at all.

UNION CITY — A Union City police officer was listed in fair condition Tuesday at Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley after his patrol car was struck by a truck on Mission Boulevard.
The officer, described only as a 26-year veteran of the force, suffered several injuries and might have a broken hip, Lt. Thomas Haselton said.
Police closed all lanes of Mission from Decoto Road to Seventh Street for 41/2hours Tuesday while an investigation was conducted. The investigation is ongoing, Haselton said.
The driver of the truck, a Ford F-250, has not been charged in connection with the crash.
At 10:09 a.m. Tuesday, the officer, driving a marked patrol car, was attempting to make a left turn from Holly Leaf Lane onto a northbound lane of Mission Boulevard, police said. He had entered the intersection when the truck, heading southbound on Mission, struck the patrol car.
The impact of the crash caused the patrol car to collide with a third car stopped at a left-turn traffic signal on Mission, police said. Union City firefighters used the Jaws of Life to extract the officer from the damaged car.
The occupants of the two other vehicles involved in the crash were unhurt, police said.
Because the accident involves a Union City police car, the investigation is being conducted by the Tri-City Investigation Team, Haselton said.

Chateau Buffalo owners Carl Schmitter and Suzie Maciejewski tweak the self-satisifed assumptions of wine snobs daily with their own unexpected, delectable and accessible wines and ciders. Yes, there is a dry red and a dry white in their line-up, but it's the pear ice wine, cherry wine, plum wine , specialty ciders, and a couple of absurdly popular sweet blends that their loyal customers adore.
Married for 23 years and in business together for 14 years, the pair have balanced their roles as perfectly as any of their blends.
Quiet Carl crafts their wares with local, farm-sourced grapes and fruits at Buffalo's only urban winery. He dismisses the exacting process and his considerable skill saying " Its simply a matter of choosing fruit you would eat - fruit thats ripe, sound and without flaws." He finds constant opportunity in the variety of good fruit grown on family farms here in Western New York.
Sparkling Suzie is my Saturday stall neighbor at the Broadway Market, chatting folks into sipping some of the latest offerings — and ringing up the inevitable sale.
Kristen Lemke, a charming, second -generation Market veteran at 23, works with the pair both at the Market and their Chateau Buffalo Winery and Ciderhouse at the Niagara Frontier Food Terminal.
They represent the best of the Buffalo I love.
Asked why they moved their production facility and tasting room from a small, retail storefront operation on Hertel to the more utilitarian 1500 Clinton St. location six years ago , Suzie answers quickly, "When something explodes we can hose it down." Carl adds simply that the space offered a much larger tasting area, a full basement for production and direct access to local farmers at the Clinton Bailey Market across the street,
Carl works full-time on their wines and ciders while Suzie has kept her day job of more than 40 years in Kalieda's labs. Their Market booth brings Suzie home - back to the neighborhood where she grew up. "Maciejewski is like the Polish version of Smith," she says with a laugh.
Chateau Buffalo's product names and labels are as playful as their blends. Their best -selling wine is named for the address of the Broadway Market - 999 Broadway . Old-timers like myself immediately recognize their "998 Broadway" blend as a nod to the iconic Sattler's store than once prospered across the street. Their rose blend Love Joy is an homage to the "Iron Island" neighborhood where I grew up.
999 Broadway is the a blend of concord grape and loganberry — that tastes so much better than it sounds. (Seriously, it took me a couple of months to get the nerve to try it. Instead of worrying about how I'd pull off telling them it is "good," I ended up laughing at myself for missing out for all that time.)
"It tastes like nostalgia," Carl explains. A Canadian by birth who grew up in the states, Carl played with perfecting a way to bring together the ubiquitous Lake Erie concord with the signature fruit of Southern Ontario. He got it so right that it is one of the top selling New York State wines in the region. Offered at more than 70 local outlets, including Premier, it's often sold out. One store in a toney neighborhood with shelf-upon-shelf of dusty, prestigious, unpronounceable vintages — orders 27 cases at a time. Susie suggests serving it Sangria-style with ice cubes and maybe some sliced fruit in the summer. Robert Mondavii told her she could.
Carl was working at Warm Lake Estates Winery in Niagara County and discussing starting their own winery when the pair made a California wine tour to celebrate Suzie's 50th birthday. Carl arranged for them to meet famed vintner Mondavi as part of Suzie's celebration. Of course, she chatted him up about the kinds of wines they wanted to make . He told them to make the wines they loved — and admitted he prefers his red wine served with an ice cube and doesn't care what anyone else thinks about it.
Chateau Buffalo was born that day - effectively delaying their next vacation until "about 2025" Suzie says. It's a labor of love that has taken ample doses of both to bring it to the the place they are today. There were no MBAs or venture capitalists involved. Carl and Suzie enjoy forging their own path.
The pair met in 1986 at the 10-year anniversary celebration of Zoot Suit City — a vintage/secondhand store on Elmwood. Each knew the other half of the couple that owned the business. Suzie eventually proposed to Carl on Sadie Hawkins Day, but the pair didn't get around to marriage until a 1995 Vegas trip. They sent postcards to their friends and family to announce the news — and most did not believe them. Suzie carries their wedding picture - with the pair smiling broadly in their shorts and t-shirts— in her wallet.
Their tasting room at the Niagara Food terminal is fun and funky. It is open on Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 6.p.m. and has hosted a variety of parties and events for the ever-growing community of Chateau Buffalo fans. They support young African- American artists in their gallery space and have opened their doors to a variety of music and art events.
There are always seasonal specialities and new blends in development in the downstairs production facility. Look for Honey Mead, Dandelion Wine and an Apple Ice Wine in the near future.
Ironically, some local marketplaces reject the idea of local wines that are not made on the farm where the fruit is grown. Regardless of the growth of their brand, it's not likely there will be another urban winery in Buffalo anytime soon. Carl and Suzie are OK with that.
"We did it because we thought it would be unique. It's where we live and we wanted to prove it could be done," Carl said.
Stop by the Market any Saturday and find out for yourself just how well they did it.
Our tribute to our awesome Broadway Market neighbors - Buffalo's only urban winery ,Chateau Buffalo — as well as all the great Buffalo experiences to toast.

Inside the Panthers
Tuesday's Panthers injury updates on Luke Kuechly, Ryan Kalil, Trai Turner a mixed bag
Carolina Panthers middle linebacker Luke Kuechly remains in the concussion protocol nearly two weeks after he was injured during an Oct. 12 loss to Philadelphia.
Kuechly was scheduled to visit an independent neurologist on Monday, but was still in the protocol as of Tuesday, according to sources. The Panthers begin preparations for Tampa Bay with a practice Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the team continues to evaluate offensive linemen Trai Turner and Ryan Kalil after both left Sunday's loss at Chicago with injuries.
Kalil, the Pro Bowl center, aggravated a neck injury that sidelined him for five games. Kalil, 32, is hoping to avoid going on injured reserve, a scenario in which he'd be forced to sit out another eight weeks.
Turner came out of the Bears game in the second half with a left knee injury that he did not believe was serious. There's a chance Turner could play this week against the Bucs, sources said.
With Graham Gano popped up on the injury list with a knee problem last week, the team is working out four kickers on Tuesday, according to the NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. This list is highlighed by former Bucs kicker Robert Aguayo, Panthers working out kickers today: Andrew Franks, Mike Meyer, Roberto Aguayo, and Younghoe Koo.
All four are eligible for the practice squad, which is where the Panthers were trying to stash former Georgia Tech kicker and seventh-round pick Harrison Butker before the Chiefs grabbed him in September.

A couple of months ago, I shared a secret to increased intimacy in your marriage. Intimacy as in the close like, know and trust in your spouse because intimacy is so much more than the physical that everyone thinks about when they hear the word. I was listening to the One Extraordinary Marriage podcast a while back and Tony and Alisa were talking about the different types of intimacy in a marriage; emotional, intellectual, spiritual, recreational, financial and physical. I hadn't thought about how each of these areas contribute to the strength of your relationship and the overall intimacy (like, know and trust) in your marriage. But how do you work on your intimacy in each of areas? Don't worry, I have some ideas for you below!
How to Increase Intimacy in Marriage
Emotional Intimacy
Sit down and draw out your dream home together. Talk about all of your "must haves", what you want your master suite to look like and where you're hoping to live.
Pick up a copy of Tony and Alisa's Connect Like You Did When You First Met. Joe and I got this book and went through it a little bit earlier this year. I need to pull it out again. Asking each other one question a night will help you connect and discuss things on a deeper level than you might have normally.
Start a tradition of weekly family/couple meetings and use that time to not only coordinate your plans for the week, but talk about the things that you've been thinking lately. Don't hold back! You can't increase your emotional intimacy without being vulnerable with each other.
Take Couple Check-up and go through the discussion guide together. It will help you find the areas of your relationship that could use a little fine tuning. Check out this post for a code that will let one of you take the check-up for free.

Intellectual Intimacy
Learn something together! Take a community class, take continuing education at a local college, or pick up a book from the bookstore about a topic that you're both interested in.
Research a mutual hobby that you have. If you like to grill like Joe and I, watch YouTube videos, research rubs and sauces, create a new recipe, etc. Maybe you're planting a garden for the first time this year; find out everything that you can about the things that you are growing and successful gardening in general.
Read a book together, fiction or non-fiction. Take turns reading a chapter together every night and talk about it after you're finished. I know a few couples who get two copies of the same book, read it separately and then sit down and discuss the book at the end. It's kind of like a mini book club! You might even have the person who picked the book come up with questions to talk about together.

Spiritual Intimacy
Find a couple's devotional to go through together. I like The Love Dare, do you have any other favorites?
Study the scriptures together. Work your way through them chapter by chapter, study scriptures on specific topics or study based on different stories.
Pray together.
Attend church services together weekly and discuss the things you learned over lunch afterward.
Related: How Having a Set Bedtime Could Benefit Your Marriage
Recreational Intimacy
Find something active that you like to do together. Joe and I like to go on long walks with our kids and the dog. Maybe you like to go to the gym together, go on hikes every weekend, go on a family bike ride or buy roller blades and hold hands while you skate around the neighborhood.
Add some culture to your date nights. Go to the opera, a play, see a musical, attend a concert, or visit a local museum.
Every other date night, do something a little more active than dinner and a movie. Go on a hike, go bowling, play mini golf, go skiing, etc.

Financial Intimacy
Talk about your finances! Create a budget monthly, set financial goals, and consider combining your bank accounts.
Have these four financial discussions before you get married (or after if you are already married). Also make sure you are not one of the 45% of couples surveyed who have no idea how much money their spouse makes.
Discuss how you will tackle debt together, if you have any. Viewing your debt as a team will make you more successful when trying to pay it off.
Talk about your family's financial future and make a plan. This post talks about five things that we've talked about and are preparing for in the future.
Physical Intimacy
Make your good-bye, hello and good night kisses last ten seconds every day.
Hold hands while you watch TV, when you're out on a date, in the car, on your walks, and as you fall asleep at night.
Give each other a long hug every day, for no other reason than just to hug.
Show affection in front of your children, this study says that it's good for their health.
Bonus: I have a new favorite company for purchasing lingerie! Mentionables {partner link} boasts model free photos and a positive body image focused mission. Their prices are reasonable (and you can get 10% off with coupon code APM10), the pieces are classy and I especially love that they have sizes and styles to fit every body type. You will feel stunning and sexy in Mentionables lingerie.
Bonus 2: If you're looking for a way to spice things up in the bedroom, check out The Game of Love {partner link}. It's a board game for your bed that you can change every time you play. Make it as tame or as wild as you want!
When you think about intimacy in your marriage, remember that there's more to it than what happens in the bedroom. The definition has a lot more depth to it than what the media and the rest of the world might tell us there is. Increasing your intimacy in each of the six areas listed above will help to create a better, stronger and more intimate marriage.
What other things do you and your spouse do to increase intimacy in these six areas?

Posted in W-G Grooms
Some do rustic bliss forest wedding, some made a Starbucks camp engagement affair . But we truly love how this Well-Groomed Groom take outdoors charm to an elegant soiree. He got the inspiration from a movie. Can you guess what it is – by looking at the settings?
Nope, not The Romantics. No, not Harry Potter wedding either. Hint: Matt Damon was in it!
Joe said:
There are a couple of scenes from the movie The Good Shepherd that shows the Yale Skull & bones at a weekend retreat to a lake house. They wear tuxedo's to the nightly events. Something about the classic look of the tuxedo circa 1940's and the contrast of the lake house really appealed to me. Given the backdrop for our wedding (on a former camp ground) my mind was made up. I wanted a tuxedo, it had to have a clean and classic look; a timeless look.
Tux: Black by Vera Wang
Bow Tie: Ponto-uomo
Shoes: Black Allen Edmonds "LaSalle Oxford"
Glasses: See Eyewear (Bleecker Street location)
Hair: Eddie from Neighborhood Barber Shop, East 9th St
Tux for the most handsomest dog: Ralf's tuxedo was a challenge but the person (Tiny Paw Couture) delivered (literally & figuritively)
Location: Cedar Lakes Estate

text: Loraine Shelton, age 84, left this world unexpectedly to set sail for her heavenly home, December 26, 2008. Loraine was the faithful wife of the late Pastor L. R. Shelton, Jr. for over 60 years before his passing over 5 years ago. She has since been residing with two of her children in Cold Spring, Minnesota. She was born in McComb, Mississippi to James Z Reeves and Carrie Fae Bailey. She and Lee Roy were married on August 22, 1942. During their married life they lived in New Orleans, LA; Litchfield, MN; and Pensacola, FL. They displayed what true love was all about as they exampled the love they had for each other to those that lived around them. Loraine was probably the least selfish person that I have ever known. She placed her husband and children ahead of herself in life. She indeed was the "wind beneath the wings" of my father. Her support of him and his ministry never wavered. If giving is more blessed than receiving, as Jesus Christ said it was, then my mother experienced much blessing in her life.Loraine was preceded in death by her parents, James Zack Reeves and Carrie Fae Bailey Reeves and her husband Lee Roy Shelton, Jr. She will be lovingly missed by her sister Margaret Bostick and husband Harry; her three children, Sharon Frolek and husband, Alan, Lee Roy Shelton, III and wife, Marsha, and Zechariah Shelton and wife, Janis. Loraine was blessed with four grandchildren, Lee Roy Shelton, IV and wife, Dawn, Christy Washburn and husband, Paul, Kimberlee Shelton, and Sharla Shelton and step-grandchildren Jack and Dustin Campbell. She lived to see and enjoy four great-grandchildren, Leroy, Jacob, Audrey, Lydia Washburn and four step-great-grandchildren Taylor, Allison, Colton and Samantha Campbell. Loraine passed away before ever seeing her adopted great-grandchildren Olivia, Patricia and Philippe Shelton. A 10:30 am Memorial Service is planned for Friday, January 2nd at the Mount Zion Bible Church 2603 W. Wright St. in Pensacola, Florida. Interment will be at the Bayview Cemetery.Bayview Fisher-Pou Chapel is in charge of arrangements.

Novec fluid 71DA is a true azeotrope, with constant vapor and liquid composition at its boiling point. It is intended to replace ozone-depleting materials in many applications as well as certain aqueous cleaning processes.
{tab Applications|blue}
Listed below are key applications for 71DA. Documents specific to the application are listed to the right.
|Cleaning Fluids
71DA fluid is a hydrofluoroether in an azeotropic formulation with trans-1,2-dichloroethylene and ethanol. Its increased solvency and low surface tension, as well as nonflammability and constant composition during boiling, make it ideal for immersion defluxing and degreasing applications. In addition, the ethanol component of 71DA fluid provides enhanced removal of ionic contaminants.
71DA fluid is non-ozone-depleting, has a low global warming potential and a short atmospheric lifetime. It is low in toxicity and is listed as "acceptable without restrictions" under the U.S. EPA's Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program.

Curating the Perfect Bedroom Retreat
I'm not sure if it's the new house, or the fact that I'm officially in nesting mode now, but lately, I've been all about decor. We're talking multiple Pinterest boards, long wish lists, and a near-obsession with all things home-related.
In a perfect world, two months after moving into the new place we'd have everything unpacked and feel fully settled in, but let's be honest — perfect's no fun, and it's far from my current reality. There are budgets that need to be followed, an ongoing hunt for pieces that are just right, and endless decisions to be made. So instead of feeling frustrated by constraints or timelines that are longer than I may want, I'm considering this to be a challenge to enjoy the process and really focus on the process of curating and designing a home that is perfect for us and where we're at right now.
Though I constantly have me eye out for pieces that may work in any room, I've decided that this time around, I'm going to try to focus on one room at a time, which I think will actually help me to feel like I'm accomplishing something instead of fluttering from room to room and feeling overwhelmed and scattered.
So first up — our bedroom.
The primary reason I chose this room to focus on first is that frankly, I'm spending a lot more time in there since being pregnant. I have a tendency to go to bed much earlier than I ever used to, so I'm relishing in this while I can and learning to really indulge myself when it comes to a bedtime routine. Not only do I want to create a calming, sleep-conducive space, but I also want the room to be one that I enjoy spending time in. A bit of a sanctuary, if you will.
When we moved in, we made the decision to upgrade from a queen bed to a king-sized Casper mattress, which I'll share more on soon (spoiler alert — total game changer), and so that not only started the process off, but it also meant we lost a little more space in an already small room. No regrets on that decision whatsoever, but it does mean that each and every piece we bring into the bedroom has to be very intentional and serve a purpose.
After setting my sights on a DIY headboard project that we just completed last weekend, I'm currently in the midst of making the final decisions on the rest of the furniture for the room and pulling together all the rest of the details.
So I figured this would be the perfect time to share some peeks at the spaces that are currently inspiring our little bedroom redesign project.
A focus on natural textures, touches of warm wood and soft tones (I'm really loving pale sage green right now), with simple lines.
Minimal furniture (since we can't fit much!), but with character added through curated vignettes and little details.
And art! I'm admittedly horrible and getting things framed and up on the walls, so I'm vowing to change that this time around as well, so that's been a whole new category to explore.

In the conversation for Sunday, December 3, 2017, special guests, Shawn & Damaris Smith, share with us an update on the impact of last summer's mission to Guatemala and issue an invitation for the mission this summer 2018. Shawn also encouraged us that if we are feeling like we can't do a missions trip, the truth is, "You can do it!"
"Now is the time for missions, because there is never a good time to go."
Sacred Reading 00:00-21:44, Conversation 21:44-01:09:22
Sacred Reading
A note about the recording of the Sacred Reading:
The reader will pause between each of the four readings. The pauses have been left in the recording so that the listener can experience the rhythm of the gathering and even participate in the reading. Below are the guidelines for each of the four readings of the practice.
- Read: Read the passage and receive it as God's message to you.
- Reflect: Read the passage again and look for the word or phrase that the Holy Spirit highlights to your heart.
- Respond: Take the highlighted words and make them a prayer.
- Rest: Rest your heart on God's promises.
"And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.'
"But his master answered and said to him, 'You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed. Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.'
"For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.
Matthew 25:24-29 (NASB)

Ella: The Saga Continues
I wonder if perhaps the only constant is plagiarism.
At any rate, changes have been coming fast and free in 2008. In Ella news, the January operation didn't really do much. She came out of her endoscopy in perfect, if totally unchanged, health. This, by the way, is a fluoroscope of her liver:
The "string of pearls" is, essentially, the bile ducts in the left side of her liver. Scar tissue and repeated expansion have transformed them from a straight line into a twisted maze. That, however, is not the problem. The problem is that her bile is not draining into her small intestine, as it should be.
Consequently, Ella's going in for a "Kasai Revision" in late March. Essentially, this means that the doctors will detach her liver from her small intestine, cut away scar tissue until they find a viable bile duct, and reattach her liver to her small intestine. The operation should take four or five hours, and she will be out of commission for a month or so. I'm going to live with her for a week, and her high school friend Janie will be staying with her for a few weeks afterward.
Ella has prepared for this extremely well. She has lined up people to help her, is getting internet for the time when she will be out, has dealt with Medicaid and gotten them to foot the bill, and has organized communication between her original doctors, her current doctors, and various other health-care professionals throughout the country. In the meantime, she's found the energy to teach her classes, make art from her bile, and get a brand new haircut. The kid amazes me.
In the meantime, I've been doing a lot of freelance work and temp jobs, as they've been leaving me free to bolt off to Pennsylvania at a moment's notice. The wife, meanwhile, has gotten a new job, which she loves even more than her old job. The daughter is now in a new daycare that is right down the street from our house, which gives us about two more hours of personal/family time per day. In other words, things are, as usual, mixed.
Unfortunately, all this impending reality has left me very little time for my blog responsibilities; frankly, I have been amazingly neglectful with my posts, not to mention my failure to comment on your blogs. I will try to rectify as soon as possible!

My primary consideration when planning the next series of paintings is to question where I am in the progression of my work. I aim to identify my current limitations – in both the painting just completed and my accumulated portfolio - and plan the next work to address further formal problems of composition and execution, or to continue the struggle to break free from the tropes and clichés, which permeate so much of life and art.
These are the challenges that interest me more than finding a particular subject. The search for an appropriate subject begins once this objective is clear.
While expression through clichés trivializes truth; it does not invalidate the deeper kernel of universal experience, which gave rise to cliché.
The goal of my work is to reach a kernel, which balances familiar recognition with response to a deeper visual language. Pursuing this objective must spring from personal experience, be it the character of the sea coast, rural fields and forests.
