If there's one thing that I enjoy most about my house it's got to be the shower. Some people enjoy their bedrooms and prefer to invest in wonderful mattresses that can carry them off to their dreams. I love a well night's rest as much as anyone else but I've got to say that the shower is where so much of my relaxation and thinking is actually done. This is why I invest heavily in the shower, including up to the shower doors in Essex County NJ. I've dumped a lot of money into my shower and I regret not a single penny that I've spent on it.

A Party for My Son
My son wanted to have a nice birthday party, and there was nothing more that I wanted to give him. He had been sick for the two years prior to that, and I wanted to celebrate not only his birthday but also the clean bill of health that the doctors had finally given him. While he was in the hospital one time, a company that does balloon sculpting in Singapore visited. He was so happy that day, and I knew that the balloon sculptors had a lot to do with that. I contacted the hospital to find out the name of the company that performed this service, then I went online to find out if they were affordable for someone like me.

Getting My Website Moving Fast
I have always wanted to start a business of my own, so three years ago I opened up a small dress and handbag shop, and at first I never thought about branching out into the internet. I love the connection I had with each customer that came into the shop. I was able to help them find exactly what they were looking for. But my new boyfriend started talking to me about the great possibilities of having my shop online. Thankfully he knew more about the internet than I did, like finding the right place for the vps hosting and also how to get the best amount of traffic to my site.
So while I started working on how I wanted to make my website look, my boyfriend started to look for all of the essentials to make the website great. I knew I wanted my website to feel special, just like I felt my shop was. It was a unique dress shop that made women feel good about their purchases. I know you can't put feelings on the internet, but I wanted to at least try.
My boyfriend talked to me about hosting and how I wanted to be able to find a company that was willing to make my website move fast. No one wants to go to shop at a website and the website be so slow that they can't hardly get to see all of the beautiful things. I knew that from experience, one time I was shopping online and the website I went to was so slow, it made me give up shopping with them. Thanks to your website I was able to get a great deal on hosting and I was also able to find out lots of important information to help my shop website up and running perfectly.
It's a Great Thing for Customers to Have Choices
I live in Texas, and I moved here after getting out of the military 10 years ago. In my home state, cost of living was lower than it is here. But at some point, I learned that people in many other states have a choice of who to go with for utilities and much more so that they can compare prices. We didn't have that power for a very long time, but we do and can look that info with the help of a very helpful website these day.
Where I used to live, I could make a choice between three different places to get phone service from. I could also choose from three separate companies to get my electricity from. Continue reading It's a Great Thing for Customers to Have Choices
Started Looking for a New Apartment Today
I have been living in Richardson TX, in a place called Spring Pointe Apartments. It is pretty nice and I like it just fine, you can take a look at their website here, http://springpointeapartments.com and see it is a pretty nice place. However I have to find a new place because the company has moved me to a different office which is a long way from this place. Now I am working clear on the other side of Fort Worth and that means living here is a huge hassle. Continue reading Started Looking for a New Apartment Today
Secret No More: the Oil That Leads to Beauty
Many different chemicals and products have come and gone over the years, some claiming to be magical fixes for everything and others managing to deliver on their promises. It is hard to tell when to take something seriously, as it seems many companies are happy to make bold claims even if they have no supporting evidence. However, in the times when a product or substance can withstand the test of time, it often becomes quite obvious that the hype is not empty and results really can be obtained. Argon oil is one of these products, commonly used in a wide variety of scenarios to improve looks and confidence.
In fact, the product is used by many of the country's top stylists, proving that there must be something to its claims of success. Continue reading Secret No More: the Oil That Leads to Beauty
Getting the Best Senior Home Care Long Island Has to Offer
My wife and I were looking for a quality place that provides senior home care in long island. My mother lives alone. She will not come and stay with us. She does not want to give up the home her and dad lived in since I was born. Mom should actually be in an assisted living facility for some of her needs. She is still on the mend from a fall. She is keeping up her physical therapy and getting stronger, and the house has been outfitted for the disabled. I can understand her desire to stay at home as long as possible. After all, I know I would not ever want to be told I need more care for myself than I can provide on my own. We help her the best we can, but we both have full time jobs. We are simply worn out every day. We need some help with mom's care. She agreed to having senior home care assistance. Continue reading Getting the Best Senior Home Care Long Island Has to Offer
Best Cottonwood Residential Properties for Rent
I am going to be moving out of the place I am currently living, and I do not care if it costs me a whole lot of money, I can't stand my current roommate. I am going to try to find a person to sub-lease, but for now, I am moving out. I am looking at maybe renting a cottonwood residential property, but I am not sure how much they cost.

My Girlfriend Got Me Some Custom Socks
It was a bit weird actually, but my girlfriend knew that I liked the pair of socks like Robert Griffith the third wore at the Heisman, only his were Superman socks and I wanted some with a spider man logo on them. She found this place on the web called customize Elite socks or some such thing and they made them for her. In fact she got a bunch of different socks for me with different things on them. Most of them were related to stuff I am in to, but one of them had her name and a stylized image of her face on it. Continue reading My Girlfriend Got Me Some Custom Socks

Every country has colourful ways of ringing in the New Year – in Spain you eat 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight, in The Philippines you wear polka dots and collect round objects that symbolise money and in Ecuador, you burn effigies to ward off evil spirits.
Greek celebrations are more mellow in comparison. The highlights include a ritual where someone from the household smashes a pomegranate outside the home to bring prosperity to the family in the New Year. Also, the first person to enter the home will influence the fortunes of the household, so children are usually encouraged to enter first.
An important tradition is the baking of Vassilopita, which is a sweet bread baked in the honour of St. Basil that is symbolic of the New Year since it contains a coin. The bread is usually sliced by the head of the home, and the family member who gets the coin is believed to have a lucky year ahead of them. Sometimes an extra place is set for St. Basil at the table.
As with all celebrations, it goes without saying that there's good food and drink on the table, lots of lovely conversations and also plenty of laughter. We're looking forward to it!

STAY IN YOUR LANE...Gifts and Demonstration of The Gifts are at Gods Discretion
SOMETIMES …..WE STILL DONT GET IT .. in the Body of Christ..at least it seems that way…
This is why we have envy, competition,jealousy and getting ahead of God.. THERE ARE VARIATIONS AND DEGREES OF THE GIFTS AND THEY ARE AT THE DISCRETION OF GOD…..
Observe AND MEDITATE ON THIS PASSAGE. .
1st Corinthians 12: 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal…
Everyone will not be a stadium preacher, maybe you will be an effective 30 year itinerant minister helping thousands of family size churches..Likewise,everyone will not be a prolific author, instead, your assignment may be to write well and to build others via blogs and newsletters or write for your church… STAY IN YOUR LANE..DONT GET AHEAD OF GOD..

That was my best idea.
Suffice it to say that Shamanic Breathwork is powerful, profound and fast.
Suspended in oblivion, I am not yet aware of the terms of the agreement and my fated upheaval. As I wallow in complacency and the comforts of the womb, I become faintly aware that I can no longer float freely but in fact, I am bound by what once had sustained me and I cling to its puny offerings as it now subtly resists me. I am no stranger to the darkness, but the blackness that now envelops me, compels a sudden numbing dread.
Although the voices are barely audible, the urgency in which they are spoken is unmistakeable, like some ugly prelude to what has yet to come. The incessant drone of voiced opinions and practical advice crawls through my skin as if marching ants. I am repulsed by this unsettling sensation as I become acutely aware of the connection I have with my body and my mind.
I feel the blood race through me and send every fibre of my being, convulsing with fear as I struggle with the unrelenting resistance and my impending doom. What once had provided nourishment has now become some colossal force that assaults my body and sweeps down on me with great vengeance to expel me from this coveted space.
I know nothing of heroes and saviours but feel a most compelling need to fall to my knees and pray to the blackness that now consumes me, and without pride, I beg for mercy. I cling to that which repels me so defiantly. I curse answered prayers as I gather new strength to battle the breach that now looms before me. I labour with the intensity of monumental change which contorts my body and sends me reeling towards the blinding light.
Letting go becomes inevitable as I submit to this undeniable force and surrender to this evolution. A mournful wail transcends from the depths of my soul as I succumb to what lays before me. My liberation is fast approaching as I drink in the warmth that embraces me and I feel safe in the cradle of her arms.

The United Religious, Military and Masonic Orders of the Temple and St. John of Jerusalem, Palestine, Rhodes and Malta, of England and Wales and Provinces Overseas
The Order was first worked in England in 1777, having probably originated in France. There are two Degrees: Knights Templar and Knights of Malta, these being joined by a 'passing' Degree of Knight of St. Paul. A candidate for the first Degree is in the position of a pilgrim travelling symbolically through hardship and dangers until he is received as a Knight. It teaches humility and urges the candidate to live his life as a Christian Knight. The second Degree deals with the period when the Knights travelled from Palestine to reach their final home in Malta, emphasising their Christian virtues. The regalia of the Order is most impressive, being based on that of the medieval Knights Templar, consisting of a mantle, tunic, cap, sash, star, belt, sword and gloves. The Knights of Malta regalia is different but not obligatory. Candidates for installation must profess the Christian faith and be both Master Masons and Royal Arch Companions.

Essay:Life is a journey.::
The definition of life found in the dictionary is: the period between birth and death. As for Journey, it means an act of traveling from one place to another: Aren™t they similar in some aspects? I often hear people say life is a journey. I totally agree. From ones first cry to the last breathe, people come to the world and have various journeys. Some of them might be exciting and surprising, and others could be rather simple and natural¦ No matter where they go, they are unique in their own ways.
A journey could be fascinating, so is life. I always have special enthusiasm towards mountains. Last year, I went to Japan with my friends and here we climbed the famous Fuji mountain. We started our trip before sunrise. When arriving at the peak laboriously, we were stunned to find such charming scenery. The sunshine made the mountain and surroundings so harmonious and fantastic. This is just like our life which has so many wonderful things attracting us and makes everyday colorful. We pursue dreams throughout our life and aim to realize them by hard working and interests.
A journey could be unexpected, so is life. The Fuji mountain is 3776 metres above sea level. As we climbed higher and higher, the varation of plants decresed and there were less beautiful scenery. The climbing route started to get narrower, steeper and rockier. Most of us got tired as we just arrived the third station, and there were five more stations to go. Then different complains began. It must be very fun to spend the day exploring the Tokyo city! one of my friend said. Everybody was depressed and frustrated. At this moment we saw one old Japanese couple with grey hair and wrinkles on their faces pass by.They held hands closely and supported each other. We were so touched by this scene that soon we started climbing faster. With friends™ strength and courage, we finally maded to the eighth station by 8pm, just 200 metres away from the peak. We all have our own ideas of what our life journey should be like. However, unexpectations and surprises would happen. Then we might get sick and feel frustrated, but we should never stop. Numerous people complete their own journey bravely. We get to know them and learn from them. We compliment and applaud them too. Gradually We grow and develop ourselves as unique individuals.
A journey could be rewarding, so is life. When finally getting to the highest point of the Fuji mountain, we were so excited. Standing in the wind and sunlight , we all knew that we were different in some ways compared to yesterday. I has received so many things from this mountain climbing experience. I learn to be persistent, brave and optimistic towards things. I also understand my friends better and feel closer to them. Faced with difficulties, I know that I should be patient, calm and steady. Life is a journey. It is an excursion to the world and a baptism to the heart. Family, friendship, love, competitors and laughters are what we receive in this journey. Thus we must accept every gift whatever this journey gives us. This is because everything happens for a reason. Be brave to confront different aspects of life journey.
All in all, life is a magical journey full of fun. But it is also dangerous and full of troubles. We will meet people you are not familiar with, see and learn things we haven™t seen and known before. This life journey allows us to understand the value of our life and realize the value of ourselves, since each one is wonderful, special and significant. Be grateful of having this experience. Be ready for more challenges. Enjoy and never regret it. ?-Z?

Southampton and QPR are monitoring AIK Stockholm striker Kennedy Igboananike.
Igboananike, 25, joined the Swedish side two years ago and boasts a record of a goal in every three appearances.
The Nigerian-born striker saw a proposed move to the Saints collapse last year due to red-tape but has since qualified for Swedish citizen.
Championship side Wolves had also been linked with the player but have signed Sunderland striker Danny Graham on loan.
AIK Stockholm would ideally like to retain the services of a player that has notched 22 times in 63 appearances for them and reward him with a new deal.
His present contract has a release clause of just £600,000 which clubs would have no trouble meeting.

This years Berlin Expert Days conference has come to an end. The BEDCon is a small tech conference in, you guessed it, Berlin. The focus is somewhere around the Java ecosystem but it is no LASER sharp focus.
This years BEDCon was full of high quality talks and interesting attendies. The conference sold out with somewhere around 350 people and although some talks were a bit crowded, the atmosphere was very nice and friendly! Thanks to everyone who contributed in one way or another! I had a great time.
Why Coffee is good for developers
This was the first conference, where I attended as a speaker. I gave a (hopefully) entertaining introduction to CoffeeScript on the second day titled Why Coffee is good for developers. And judging by the feedback I got in person and via twitter, the talk was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who attended! I hope you had as much fun listening as I had giving the talk!
I opened my talk with some facts about actual coffee as a pun on the title of the talk before spinning into CoffeeScript and the problems, it tries to solve. Some people told me, they liked the idea and also enjoyed my facts about coffee. Although one person aparently didn't liked it at all. He left before I even got to the interesting parts probably thinking, I was talking about coffee for an hour. Maybe he is more of a tea guy :)
HTML slides are gaining traction
My slides are available online and the sources are on github too (Sorry, slides are in german.) The slides work best in Safari but should also work in Chrome. Non-WebKit Browsers are probably going to have some problems. Since a few people have asked me, I made the slides with my own custom fork of the fabulous impress.js. I rewrote it in CoffeeScript and modified it quite a bit for this presentation. If you plan to use it, at this moment, I have to recomment using impress.js over my fork. I plan to put some more effort into my fork and iron out many of the wrinkles. But at the moment, impress.js is more stable and more active. I'll post here when there are news about my fork.
I was by far not the only speaker with HTML slides. An intersting trend, that I really do appreciate. HTML slides tend to be less bullet point ridden than powerpoint slides. The presentations are often more interactive and engaging. The slides are easier and faster to share after the talk and they discourage the stupid idea of printing out slides. But as impress.js calls out in its readme, they "may not help you if you have nothing interesting to say ;)"
One other framework for HTML slides, that looked very intersting was reveal.js. Alexander Reelsen used it for his slides and they looked great. But then again, he also hat something interesting to say…
If you have anything to do with the web at all, check out one of the options for HTML slides! Not only is it fun to create the slides, it is also a nice exercise for your web-fu! And you can use IntelliJ instead of PowerPoint for creating slides - how awesome is that?!

Jeter gets No. 2,998, but Yankees lose againJul 8, 2011 - 5:06 AM
Jeter doubled in his first at-bat for hit No. 2,998, but came up empty in his next four plate appearances.
"After the first one, I'd be lying to you if I didn't think it was attainable today," admitted Jeter. "Niemann did a great job ... He settled down."
Sean Rodriguez robbed Jeter of a hit with a diving backhanded stab down the third-base line in the fifth, then nabbed him on a bang-bang play at first to end the game with two runners on base.
Other than Jeter's two-bagger, the only time the crowd of 47,787 at Yankee Stadium had a chance to cheer for the home team came on Robinson Cano's home run in the sixth. It was the only mistake made by Niemann (4-4) in his 7 1/3 innings on the hill, as he gave up just six hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
"That was like Jeff Niemann prior to the injury last year, that's what I saw. He was pitch efficient," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Ben Zobrist went 3-for-3 with two walks and finished a double short of the cycle, while B.J. Upton also homered and drove in three runs for the Rays, winners of two straight and four of six overall.
Bartolo Colon (6-4) yielded five runs on 10 hits and four walks in 5 2/3 frames to absorb his first loss since May 23.
Tampa Bay, making its first visit to New York this season, began a string of 11 straight games against the American League's top two teams -- the Yankees and Red Sox.
Zobrist got the pivotal stretch started on a positive note, leading off the game with a triple before scoring on an Evan Longoria base hit.
The Yankees stranded four runners over the first two frames, and Zobrist doubled the Rays' lead with a leadoff homer in the third. Later in the inning, Upton's two-out single plated Casey Kotchman for a 3-0 cushion.
Upton, still the only Rays player to complete a cycle, again came up with Kotchman on base in the fifth and launched his 14th home run of the season into the left-field bleachers.
Niemann was pulled after walking Mark Teixeira with one out in the eighth, and Juan Cruz came in and retired Alex Rodriguez and Cano to keep it a 5-1 game.
Zobrist, who entered play tied for the MLB lead in doubles with 28, had a chance for the cycle in the ninth but worked his second free pass of the night, taking a payoff pitch inside to fall short of the feat.
Kyle Farnsworth put two runners on in the ninth to bring Jeter to the plate. The Yankees' all-time hits leader nearly beat out a slow roller to third, but Rodriguez's throw got him by a step to send New York to its fourth loss in five games.
Game Notes
Jeter is trying to become the first Yankee to reach the 3,000-hit milestone with the club. With two more hits, he will become the 28th player in MLB history to accomplish the feat...Yankees closer Mariano Rivera will not play in this year's All-Star Game because of a sore triceps. Angels rookie closer Jordan Walden took his place on the AL roster...Colon, who had won his previous four starts, fell to 9-3 in 19 career outings against Tampa Bay...The Rays have an AL-best 36-8 record when scoring first...Longoria, Kotchman and Reid Brignac each had two of the Rays' 12 hits...Jeremy Hellickson starts on the mound for the Rays on Friday opposite Freddy Garcia.

PLASTICS works to update standards
This year, the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) will conduct a five-year review and revision of some of its machinery safety standards to ensure that they meet changing workplace conditions and newly available safety features, said Megan Hayes, the association's director of industry standards. The review process is in its earliest stages, with most group members yet to be selected, though the association already has chosen a few leaders for some specific standards.
The 2018 PLASTICS Standards Workplan for Machinery Safety Standards includes:
Revision of PLASTICS B151.5, plastic film and sheet winding machinery. This standard wasn't reviewed in 2013, meaning the relevant machines continued to be covered by more general safety standards. Providing a revision this year means the standard specific to these machines will "come back to life," Hayes said.
Proposed changes to the standard include aligning it more closely with other B151 standards, including making sure that the standard uses similar terms and definitions as other standards in the category; adding unwinders and slitter rewinders to the group of machines this standard applies to; and considering a more risk-based approach compared to the current prescriptive approach, Hayes said. A risk-based approach can offer users more flexibility in determining how to apply safety measures for their equipment, whereas a prescriptive approach can be more rigid and include redundancies.
For example, Hayes said, during the recent revision of B151.1, safety requirements for injection molding machines, PLASTICS performed a risk analysis of mechanical safety devices (also known as jam bars or drop bars) for horizontal machines. Because the devices were deemed redundant, they became optional under the standard.
Among the safety precautions covered in the film and sheet winding machinery standard are guarding, thermal hazards and safety circuits.
Revision of PLASTICS B151.11, granulators, pelletizers and dicers. Jason Forgash, president of Bay Plastics Machinery, and Dave Miller, GM for size reduction at Conair Group and Republic Machine, will lead the effort. Hayes said that proposed changes to this standard include aligning it with other B151 standards (including terms and definitions); adding new machinery such as shredders to the group of machines the standard applies to; and considering a more risk-based approach. These machines also are covered by more general safety standards.
Miller said workgroups are yet to be established. He would like to see as many participants as possible. Interested participants can contact PLASTICS. "The more voices, the better," he said. The standard covers feed areas, hoppers, blades; and other potentially hazardous parts of the machines.
Review of PLASTICS B151.20, plastic sheet production machinery. In this case, the committee will consider whether to revise, reaffirm or withdraw the standard. Among the safety precautions covered in this standard are guards for web-cutting devices and counter-rotating nips; standards for nip roll openings and closings; movable guards and emergency conditions.
Review of PLASTICS B151.27, the integration of robots with injection molding machines. Robots, including collaborative robots, are becoming more prevalent in plastics plants. The standard covers testing, power requirements, safeguarding, emergency stops and other safety elements when robots are in use.
Just as with B151.20, PLASTICS must review B151.27 within five years of publishing the standard. The committee will either revise, reaffirm or withdraw the standard.

Our Nation's Capital
We're in Washington, DC, with students at the National Council for Science and Environment Conference, which this year is on Energy and Security.
These are students Rae, Katrina, and Matt outside the Botanical Gardens on the National Mall, where there are now two wind turbines, a Windspire and a Skystream.
I'm interested in Windspires, although the simple physics indicates that they're probably not cost effective in any but the strongest winds. Our calculations show that Skystreams need nine meters/second to be cost effective in Maine, which only exists on our highest peaks. I expect Windspires are about the same.
But they are architecturally interesting, adding intrigue to the landscape, like a sculpture.
The other great thing I saw was NASA's new climate model visualizer, essentially a collection of giant monitors several feet wide and tall, showing the second by second results of a climate model.
Very cool.
Finally, the obligatory shot of Congress, which all the conference speakers agree is in total gridlock on Energy and Security.
Never mind. This too shall pass.
While science and education march on.

It truly marks an end of an era for ardent WWE fans as Mark Calaway better known as Undertaker has retired from the WWE after losing to Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33. The loss to Reigns was only the second defeat for The Undertaker at WrestleMania, where he had won an unprecedented 23 matches in his astonishing career.
According to various media reports, the Undertaker bowed out of the arena he dominated on an emotional night for fans as he appeared to pass the torch on to Roman Reigns. He went into the match with Reigns having lost to only Brock Lesnar WrestleMania 30 in 2014 during his incredible WrestleMania record.
Having landed both a chokeslam and a tombstone on Reigns, Undertaker looked on course for another gruelling victory, only for Reigns to do the unthinkable. What followed was a brutal ending to his career, with Reigns dishing out three spears, two superman punches and one final, era-ending spear. There by bring an end to a a fantastic career.
After the loss, the Undertaker removed his gloves, his coat and his hat, and made his way back along the entrance ramp visibly emotional, having taken his time to take in everything around him, to apparently retire as the greatest wrestler the WWE has seen. The star broke character by kissing his wife Michelle McCool who was present among the spectators.
Undertaker was simply a phenomena and his career spanning a mind-boggling 27 years is an apt example of that. Though he played a negative character whenever he came out to fight his rivals, he had the audience rooting for him. This was his fan following and star power. As he bids adieu he leaves behind a rich legacy that can be judged by the way his name was on the lips of every child who was fond for WWE. This was the impact of Undertaker.

Cannot Edit in Fireworks
When clicking on the Fireworks icon in the image editor Fireworks opens, but a message box displays that says the file cannot be found.
Using CS4 on both
When clicking on the Fireworks icon in the image editor Fireworks opens, but a message box displays that says the file cannot be found.
Using CS4 on both
Does this happen with every image you try?
When you select the image using 'Theme-It' and click the fireworks icon, do you get the 'Find Source' dialogue box when Fireworks opens? Which option are you selecting, ('Use a PNG', or 'Use This File')?
The 'Use This File' option should work - Is this where you are getting the error message?
Try using the 'Use a PNG' option, and browse to find the image file on your PC. That should get you by until someone posts with the proper fix.
NOTE: If you don't get the 'Find Source' dialogue box in Fireworks, enable it in FW Menu - Edit > Preferences > Launch And Edit > and choose 'Ask When Launching' from the select lists.
I get the message when I click on the Fireworks icon in Theme it. I do not even a option to choose format. A dialogue box opens even before Fireworks should give option saying that it cannot find the file.
I have opened a ticket for you on this issue. To check the status of the ticket or update it please login and visit your support history.
Upgraded to DW CS5 - Theme-it shows as compatible. Using Fireworks CS4. When clicking on Fireworks icon to edit image DW crashes.
With reference to closed ticket regarding this matter. I did download a replacement wa_managetheme.js file and copied it over to DW5 Commands folder - no difference. Still crashes.
I just wanted to confirm a couple of details. Do you have version 1.0.2 installed in DW CS5? Also, before upgrading were you able to use the updated file to do this same thing with DW CS4 and Fireworks CS4? Please post back with this info so that we can look into this further.
I'm curious as to what you did to the table in Dreamweaver before you went back to edit it in Fireworks. If we can find out what you did to it after inserting it and before you clicked the Edit button, I think we'll get to the bottom of this.

If equipment and raw materials were sparse in ravaged post-War Europe, none were more deprived than the vanquished Axis powers. Personal transport for Germans was restricted to the super-rich only, while luxuries such as petrol only slowly descended into the obtainable for the majority of the population. In their own fight for survival, manufacturers sought ways of catering for a market with such restricted means, and thus it is unsurprising that German manufacturers are the most famous proponents of the "microcar" concept. Among the most famous of this curious genre is the Messerschmitt.
By the early Nineteen-Fifties, the Regensburger Stahl-und Maschinenbau company were seeking new projects, and a meeting between Professor Willy Messerschmitt and former employee Fritz Fend resulted in a deal to produce a three-wheeled two-seater in tandem. The first incarnation, the KR175, emerged in February 1953 with a 173cc powerplant. It enjoyed a speedy evolution with some 70 modifications brought in within the first five months of production. By January 1954 the company was considering a power increase, and a 12 horsepower two-cylinder unit was discussed but rejected in favour of the Sachs 200 unit. Work also ensued on a new bubble top, and both emerged on the new KR200 in March 1955.
Many modifications were made during the KR200's production run, both for the sake of refinement and cost-effectiveness. These included a redesign of the swing-arm and chaincase from chassis 65,186 onwards, and a move to Bosch Dynastart electrics (necessitated by Bosch's purchase of previous supplier Siba) from chassis 68,494 onwards.
The example here is a relatively late model. First registered in 1961, the bodywork retains it original silver paintwork, and it is good condition considering that cars like this have only recently earned care and attention as "classics". Accordingly there are a few dents and scratches, and the paint shows a few rust spots consistent with having been stored for so many years. The blue vinyl interior is also in good original condition while showing signs of use and storage. Interestingly, this example still boasts its original tools as well as original transfers. Its previous owners were two old ladies who apparently parted with the car because they found it too fast.

Welcome to SnapPad 2.0! When we launched SnapPad last September (2015), we weren't sure what would happen. We had created a radically new product, put together our own website and then...crossed our fingers. Thankfully things have worked out so far!
Thanks to the great feedback and response from RVers, we recently decided to launch a new product - SnapPad Xtra! A premium version of SnapPad Classic with built in water drainage channels, created entirely thanks to constructive feedback from the RV community.
But to do that, we also had to buff up our website...so here it is! As our company grows and evolves, we hope to add new products to our spiffy new online digs here, so be sure to check back every so often.
We have also added an "In the Field" section to celebrate RV life and all the wonderful SnapPad customers out there (#SnapPadders unite!). People keep sending us awesome pictures, feedback, suggestions and recommendations so we wanted to take this opportunity to feature them more prominently. If you have something you'd like to share with us, don't hesitate to email us or share it on social with the #Snappadder hashtag.
Thanks for visiting us at Origen SnapPad. Have any questions? We'd love to hear from you.

Fox News provides a source of constant amusement and irritation for thinking people everywhere. But at the end of November, news watchers know exactly what's coming: Fox News' stupid "War on Christmas" coverage. While there isn't any war on the country's most beloved holiday, Fox News is going to be sure and at least attempt to spoil it for everyone.
The "War on Christmas" concept started with Evangelical Christians who insist baselessly that they're being discriminated against during the holiday season of December by godless masses who want to "take Christ out of Christmas." With a higher literacy rate, these folks would likely realize that December houses three major holidays including Christmas, along with other minor ones.
Rhode Island is aware of this fact, and as such erected a holiday tree in the State House. Fox News is not happy, and they've invited a state representative to explain how her resolution to call trees for Christmas has been positively ignored. Rather than erecting her own appropriately named tree, Doreen Costa and Christians everywhere will not be happy until every pine tree from coast to coast has been named for Christmas. And they say everyone else is starting the war?
The Fox & Friends segment even caught the attention of CNN, which cited the segment in its report on the Rhode Island tree and noted that "Fox News, as it does every year, went crazy" over the War on Christmas.
Strangely, though, despite Fox & Friends' freakout over the Rhode Island holiday tree, later during the show, they declared that there was "no more 'War on Christmas.' "

I am more like your nephews parents in that I don't have my kids watched. Not because I'm against anyone, I just don't have that need to be away from them. I would rather spend the night with them, than have them watched and go out. So if I left them with relatives, it's more for the relatives than me. I'd probably end up just sitting and counting the hours til I could I pick them up (I'm always super early for school pickup). So it's just not something I would do. And I would hate to think my husbands siblings (I don't have any) would think it's something personal.
On the other hand, my SIL and her partner are about 8 weeks away from moving directly across the road from us. I already anticipate babysitting her lot all the time as she loves going out for date nights etc. and already had family that lives near her babysit all the time. And I do love the idea of that. So I do see your side too.

OP, do you know if other family members or friends look after him?
I would only think it *might* be personal *if* you know for a fact that they regularly let other people babysit him.
If this isn't the case, it might just be that they don't feel the need to have others look after him. They might like to spend as much time as possible with him. Or they just feel more comfortable when he's with them.
Does your nephew perhaps have any additional needs which might make them feel a little more protective of his welfare (health condition/severe allergy/disability)? I only ask because I have a 5 year old with ASD and we only ever have my parents babysit on rare occasions, simply because he's not only high maintenance but he would be the type to abscond if a door or gate was left open.

Do they work a lot? I know that since I started working full time at the start of this year, I don't like to be away from my daughter too much on weekends because I feel guilty that I'm already away from her a lot through the week.

Do they know it is a serious offer? I get people offering all the time to babysit my kids but I never take them up on it because I never know if they are being genuine or (if they are) if they would actually be happy doing it. Because my kids can be little terrors and I don't like to inflict that on other people (grandparents excepted).

OP I can 100% see that you have good intentions but I really can't understand you point of view here. I can't see how having time with a child away from their parent needs to be part of developing a good and deep relationship. In fact I think it should definitely be the other way around. If you have a very strong relationship THEN you could consider having them come for sleepovers. I know you will say that you are already close to him and you just want to get closer but from my perspective as a parent, if someone said they wanted to have alone time with my young children to build a relationship I would not like it. I would nod and smile and not encourage it. I prefer to have my kids with me unless there is a reason not to and in that case I always ask my mum to have them. It's not because I think she is the only one capable but because that is our comfort zone and I don't see the need to step out of it just for other peoples benefit. In my experience the best way to have a good relationship with a child is to see them often. Regular contact (weekly) in a relaxed and natural environment for the child will result in a very strong bond.
So if I was you I would find some kind of weekly or fortnightly routine of seeing him. Like popping in to see him on the way home from work on Fridays just to ask how school was. If you really want to have a more significant visit with him maybe say to his mum "next Wednesday looks like amazing weather. I'm thinking of going to the zoo. Do you think nephew would like to come with me?" If she says WE would love to come then I think you will know that she would prefer to be with him. The reason for this is most likely not personal. Or she might say yep sure. Pick him up at 10!
Good luck op. X

@YeahYeahYeah that is definitely a part of it - we are just different. DH & I love the 'village' too & encourage our kids to develop relationships with all the extended family.
@Ahalfdozen & @bezzy I totally understand about wanting to be with the kids rather than having them looked after. I guess I was hoping every now & then they would do exactly that - allow us to look after him for us & for him, not necessarily because they needed us to!!
@Mod-Degrassi yes, BIL has a sister who lives nearby who minds him regularly - not sure about overnight though. I think you are spot on about the special needs though... Nothing has ever been said but we suspect he may be slow to meet milestones so there *could* be something there but it's never been discussed. That may be reason though - thanks for that idea, it makes sense xxx
@JR03 Dad works full time & Mum is SAHM at the moment. So I can imagine they would want to do things together as a family on the weekend. @hollypolly yes they do know it's serious as at times we've been specific about certain events. They can inflict us with him even if he is a little terror :-)
@RedCreamingSoda I understand where you are coming from, but what I was trying to explain is that in this family it is very normal for the kids to spend time with their Aunties, Uncles & grandparents on their own - definitely the village thing. When my DSS was three years old he went overseas with his grandparents & another cousin for a week - it's just how they have always operated. This sister was the last one of the four siblings to have a child, so I guess we did expect that (within reason!) the same type of open, village type involvement would have continued.
You have a really good point about spending time with our nephew on a regular basis to keep building our relationship. In that way again we are limited in what we can do by the parents but we'll keep doing our best to stay involved without forcing ourselves on them. Thanks heaps for your input xx

I never leave my children with anyone other than my parents.
There are some people who would love to look after my children, but I have my reasons why I don't want them being left alone with these people.
I'm guessing they must have a reason they don't want to leave their son with you, or do they simply not leave him with anyone (other than childcare)??
I would be horrified if someone directly said to me they were taking my children for the day and were going to pick them up at x time. I just think that puts the parents in a very uncomfortable situation where they are going to have to say a straight out 'no' to you.

WWYD? We've never babysat our 4yo nephew
Ahalfdozen said is pretty much perfectly describing me and it makes me feel super uncomfortable when somebody makes me feel like I 'have' to give them my child. I have anxiety so it takes me a while to warm up to leaving DS1 (2.5), plus I just really enjoy being with him a vast majority of the time and don't have an urge to have space from him. I'm currently sitting in the park reading bubhub while his granny sits in the sandpit playing with him. She's bonding and I'm comfortable.

It seems a little weird to me tbh, maybe it's a cultural thing. But I would find it a bit pushy. I've had my brother (no kids) suggest that ds stay with him when he is older but I find it a bit rude/presumptuous.
It can't hurt to suggest you take dss and your nephew to the park for a playdate but be happy for them to decline or tag along.

With projects underway, it will stand raised to 70mtpa by 2015. Despite the prevailing muted growth of the industry, we believe the long term fundamentals and growth prospects remain intact. We will add more capacities in coming years."
The enterprise value is Rs.3,800 crores besides the actual net working capital at closing. UltraTech will take over all the assets and the liabilities of the Unit at Closing and the net amount of enterprise value less liabilities taken over will be the consideration.

Abstract: The 14Calpha,gamma reaction rate at temperatures below 0.3 GK depends onthe properties of two near threshold resonances in 18O, the 1- at 6.198 MeV andthe 3- at 6.404 MeV. The alpha+14C Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients ANCsfor these resonances were determined using the alpha-transfer reactions14C7Li,t and 14C6Li,d at sub-Coulomb energies. The 14Calpha,gammareaction rate at low temperatures has been evaluated. Implications of the newreaction rate on the evolution of accreting helium white dwarfs and on thenucleosynthesis of low mass stars during the asymptotic giant branch AGBphase are discussed.

PLANS to build a wind farm in Northumberland have been withdrawn - to the delight of residents.
E.ON Climate and Renewables UK yesterday said it was pulling the plug on its planning application for eight 115m (377ft) turbines at West Ancroft, near Berwick.
The developer has decided to shelve its scheme after the Government's decision to refuse plans for turbines at neighbouring Moorsyde earlier this year.
The news was last night welcomed by people living near the site, who said the scheme had been a blight on their lives and hoped it would not return.
The application was first submitted to Northumberland County Council in April last year.
Local residents rallied against it, forming the West Ancroft Community Association (WACA), claiming the turbines would be an eyesore in open countryside near to the Cheviot hills and that they were too close to homes.
The project was hit by a series of blunders including the Advertising Standards Authority upholding two complaints against the developer over misleading images, and the company being accused of seeking to mislead councillors by putting a turbine marker further from homes on a site visit.
In January, the bid for turbines at neighbouring Moorsyde was rejected owing to its proximity to the Cheviots and because the turbines would be too noisy so close to homes.
Objectors to West Ancroft at the time claimed that both arguments applied even more to that scheme, and it should therefore not be pursued.
In May, residents were further angered when E.ON won planning permission to put up a wind monitoring mast on the site, claiming the information it would gather should have been obtained by the developer before it submitted the wind farm proposal.
The company sent a letter to the county council on Tuesday withdrawing its application.
Yesterday, an E.ON spokesperson said: "After carefully reviewing plans for our proposed West Ancroft wind farm following a recent public inquiry into nearby wind farm proposals, we have decided to withdraw our current planning application for an eight turbine scheme.
"We are now looking at the possibility of redesigning the project as a smaller development."
The spokesperson confirmed the refusal of the Moorsyde scheme so close to the site had prompted the withdrawal. She said the redesign would look at smaller and fewer turbines and added that the mast would not be erected for the time being.
WACA member Tamsin Faiers, 37, whose farm home is 700m (765yds) from the site, was thrilled by the withdrawal. She said: "We are obviously delighted that E.ON, however belatedly, have taken note of the Secretary of State's refusal of the adjacent Moorsyde application and they have recognised the total unsuitability of this site for a wind farm.
"We do note that they have suggested they will attempt to come back with a smaller scheme which we would have to judge on its merits should such a scheme be proposed.
"However, we would fervently hope that such a scheme was not proposed and that E.ON did not persist in blighting the lives of the local community and wasting the valuable resources of the council."

Photo: LUKE PARKER By JUSTIN LATIF Seriously ill: Jimi Harper was just eight when he lost an arm and sustained serious burns to a huge portion of his body. OPERATION The Mad Butcher and Suburban Newspaper s Community Trust JIMI HARPER can't go for a swim in case his intestines burst through the thin layer of skin covering his stomach. He hopes that situation will change once he gets further reconstructive work to correct horrific injuries sustained through a freak accident seven years ago. The 15-year-old was electrocuted by an 11,000 volt line while playing with friends near a power pole when he was just eight. The shock completely destroyed his right arm, blew out his right knee and burnt the skin off the front of his chest and stomach. Jimi has already had 46 operations and still needs one more to rebuild his abdomi- nal wall. But the National Burn Centre doesn't have the budget to buy the high-tech operating microscope needed for the 18-hour exercise. The Mad Butcher and Sub- urban Newspapers Com- munity Trust plans to raise the money needed to make sure Jimi and others like him get the surgery they need. The trust will donate proceeds from its upcoming Christmas charity function to the cause and is also calling on all Central Leader readers to dig deep and make donations. Jimi and his dad Neil say they are dumbfounded by the gesture. It's awesome,'' Neil says. I've given up my job to help home school Jimi. It's hard enough as it is -- without having to try and come up with this money as well.'' Jimi says one of the first things he'll do if the operation goes ahead is take a dip at the nearest pool. I'd really like to go swim- ming,'' he says. At the moment I have to be careful going outside in case someone bumps me so it would be great to have some freedom back.'' Neil urges people to get behind the trust's efforts. It's not just Jimi who needs this equipment,'' he says. The microscope will help a lot of people who need sur- gery at the National Burn Centre. The staff there are amazing and do a really awe- some job so it will help them care for others in similar situations.'' Youcanhelpusmakea difference P3 Thisisit--ourbig campaign of the year. The Mad Butcher and Suburban Newspapers Community Trust is getting right behind the National Burn Centre and the wonderful job it does. Today we bring you the story of Jimi Harper -- the teenager whose life was forever changed after a terrible accident in 2003. Jimi was a patient at the centre and is supporting our efforts to raise money for a surgical microscope that will help surgeons make life easier for people like him. We'll be running a series of stories over the next four weeks urging you, our readers, to donate to the cause -- more on that later. But for now the floor is Jimi's. Here is his story: Why should you support Operation Heal? Listen to Jimi Harper online at www.central leader.co.nz and the answer is pretty clear.

About Me
Error: Twitter did not respond. Please wait a few minutes and refresh this page.
The adventures and struggles of a petite, geeky journalist-in-training living in New Zealand.
Wearing vintage wool top, ASOS skirt, ASOS Premium jacket, Falke merino tights, DKNY watch, vintage earrings and Hush Puppies' shoes.
The skirt didn't look that short when I bought it, I swear. I've haven't worn a mini-skirt since my age was in single digits. Pink's not usually my colour, but combined with the navy stripes and a lot of black, I think it looks pretty cute. I would have worn heels with the ensemble if I didn't need to walk today.
I got these Hush Puppies on sale just last week. They're not as ugly as some other Hush Puppies' shoes available (actually quite acceptable looking, considering they're supposed to be healthy comfortable shoes), and they are incredibly comfortable. Nary a sore arch in sight!
Today I attended my second community board meeting. Unlike the last one I went to, which went on for two hours, this one was twenty minutes long. It's a good thing. Anyway, I'd better go an email some people now. Journalism, I've decided, is about pestering people enough so they give you the information you want just so they can be rid of you. Half the time, that information goes towards the type of story that I skim over when I'm reading the paper.
When the temperatures vary from twelve degrees celsius to twenty seven, all you can really do is layer. I got this denim shirt from the boys' section of a children's clothing store. One of the good things about being five two on a good day is that you can get some great deals from the kids' departments, where things are cheaper but of an equally good quality. This shirt was only twenty dollars; that's cheaper than the one I got from a nameless store in Hong Kong. My brother has the exact same shirt. We were actually shopping for him, but I just had to get one for myself too.
I found out today that my face is really not made for curls. They were giving a free demonstration at the mall, and I just looked really weird and overwhelmed with curls, like a under-confident teenaged girl who's spent two hours doing her hair and is anxious that it doesn't look good. Granted, I've done that before, but I'm past that stage of my life. A confident woman is a sexy woman.
Wearing shirt from Pumpkin Patch, old faded black t-shirt, leather blazer and jeans from Just Jeans, shoes from ASOS, hat from shop in Hong Kong and 'Over the Taupe' nail polish by OPI.
I just got this shade from OPI today. The bottle's slightly more expensive than my usual polishes, but the quality is well worth the price.
Wearing vintage dress, ASOS shoes, Esprit bag, DKNY watch and Portmans hat.
My aunt gave me this dress when I went back to Hong Kong. It's probably close to my age, and the fabric is falling apart a little at the back. There used to be lacing at the back as well, but the loops broke whilst I was wearing the dress on the plane back to New Zealand. I don't think it was meant for someone of my chest size. But now it's a lot more comfortable without the lacing at the back as my rib cage doesn't feel constricted anymore.
I'm rarely out of heels in summer, unless I'm barefoot, but after the earthquake (and the very frightening prospect of having to walk home in four inch platform stilettos because all the buses have stopped and I have no way of contacting my parents because my dad's mobile phone is out of batteries), I've taken to taking a pair of flats with me everywhere I go unless I am wearing flats. I'm not a fan of ballet flats for multiple reasons (i.e. they don't flatter the shape of my feet at all, they keep falling off my feet etc.), but I like my oxfords. They're comfortable, but they hide my bunions well, and they wrap around the foot so they don't fly off if I walk too quickly. I really don't get the ballet flat trend at all. Lots of girls wear them but I have rarely seen a girl wear them well. Maybe a couple of supermodels, but that's about it. And so many ballet flats are just cheap looking nowadays; I have no idea how they're supposed to be chic. I mean, gold and silver plastic? I do have a pair of sequined flats that resemble ballet flats from Skechers, but their soles are constructed like those of lightweight sneakers, so they feel completely different. They're the flats I carry around all the time. Probably not as chic as I would like, but if I have to walk home after an earthquake, I don't think style would be one of my top priorities.

It's Official: Bitcoin Surpasses "Tulip Mania", Is Now The Biggest Bubble In World His• http://www.zerohedge.com
One month ago, a chart from Convoy Investments went viral for showing that among all of the world's most famous asset bubbles, bitcoin was only lagging the infamous 17th century "Tulip Mania."
One month later, the price of bitcoin has exploded even higher, and so it is time to refresh where in the global bubble race bitcoin now stands, and also whether it has finally surpassed "Tulips."
Conveniently, overnight the former Bridgewater analysts Howard Wang and Robert Wu who make up Convoy, released the answer in the form of an updated version of their asset bubble chart. In the new commentary, Wang writes that the Bitcoin prices have again more than doubled since the last update, and "its price has now gone up over 17 times this year, 64 times over the last three years and superseded that of the Dutch Tulip's climb over the same time frame."
That's right: as of this moment it is official that bitcoin is now the biggest bubble in history, having surpassed the Tulip Mania of 1634-1637.
And with that we can say that crypto pioneer Mike Novogratz was right once again when he said that "This is going to be the biggest bubble of our lifetimes." Which, of course, does not stop him from investing hundreds of millions in the space: when conceding that cryptos are the biggest bubble ever, "Novo" also said he expects bitcoin to hit $40,000 and ethereum to triple to $1,500.

Core Plus Office Fund launches with $137 million Pyrmont asset
Charter Hall Group has launched an unlisted wholesale property fund known as 'Core Plus Office Fund' which has acquired 'The Atrium' office and retail development under construction in Pyrmont and is 96% pre-leased to American Express and Coles Supermarkets.
The total cost of the project upon completion in October 2006 is expected to be $137 million.
The vendor is an unlisted development fund jointly managed by Charter Hall Group and AMP Capital Investors.
The attached Investor presentation provides details of this property acquisition and product features of the unlisted Charter Hall Core Plus Fund.
'Charter Hall's listed Property Trust (CHPT) is facilitating this acquisition on behalf of the new CPOF, which will ultimately be 20% owned by CHPT', said Charter Hall joint CEO, David Harrison. 'The acquisition is expected to be marginally earnings accretive for the listed property trust in the current financial year and CPOF will crystallise fund management fee income in FY07 and subsequent years after external equity has been raised'.
'The launch of the Core Plus Office Fund further demonstrates Charter Hall's commitment to the wholesale sector. Charter Hall Property Trust's co-investment is an opportunity to participate in the attractive distribution growth anticipated from CPOF', said Mr. Harrison.
As noted in the recent Atrium lease announcement, Charter Hall will earn a substantial proportion of the total performance fee from the Atrium project in FY06.
Charter Hall confirms that the forecast performance fees for FY06 anticipated in the PDS have now been earned. Charter Hall may become entitled to further performance fees at the time properties are sold by any of the opportunity funds it manages.
Charter Hall remains on track to achieve its FY06 earnings forecast in the PDS released earlier this year.

The above post …
… was submitted a month or two ago to the Jakarta Post for inclusion in their Sunday edition. Rather than allowing it to linger in the limbo of their in trays, I figured I may as well publish it myself. This is, of course, one of the benefits of blogging.
What worries me somewhat is that the Post editor doesn't have the courtesy to inform contributors if their invited articles are not going to be used. The Sunday Post is really nothing more than a glorified advertising broadsheet with blurbs about museums in Austria, beaches in Hawaii and vineyards in South Africa. One can expect little of substance on the front page because seemingly little newsworthy happens on a Saturday.
Pesta Blogger did take place yesterday and the Minister of Communications and Information, Muhammed Nuh, made what will hopefully be a long-lasting commitment. Apart from naming October 27th National Bloggers Day (but surely every day is a bloggers day?!?), he said, "Blogs can be educational, empowering and enlightening. That's why I can guarantee you curbing blogs will never happen in this country."
That's a bold statement and an issue I'll return to another day ~ perhaps as an article for the Jakarta Post. It is worth noting, however, that blogs have been curbed to varying degrees in fellow ASEAN countries Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand, plus near neighbours China, India and Pakistan. If they haven't been curbed here, except by the occasional severing of an undersea cable, perhaps it's because telecommunications are generally, and for the majority of the country, crap.
Anyway, the lead story is that apparently Indonesia 'needs younger leaders' as they are less likely to have been contaminated for too long by the New Order régime. Ah, but their teachers and parents will have been. Accompanying this story is a strange dichotomy of a photo: a junior high school choir is seen practicing, presumably, the national anthem, Indonesia Raya, whilst in the foreground, veteran musician Idris Sardi plays a violin that was used by the composer of the national anthem Wage Rudolf Supratman. Were the choir leading Pak Idris?
Sports stories feature on the back and back inside pages, many of which are about sports which you know nothing about and only gripping in their elusiveness.
For example, do you what sports today's headlines connect to? (Please leave your answers in the comments.)
a. Schnyder downs Chakvetadze in Linz
b. Matsuzaka set to make history
c. Flying Without Wings
d. Red Sox mania grips Boston
From Irish folk dancing to red-dyed goatees, Boston Red Sox fans are rallying behind their team's quest for ….
There are a number of columnists who I do regularly read; Simon Pitchforth of Metro Mad, Kadek Krisna Adidharma with Walking Home and Priya Tuti who's Keeping Mum. Of occasional interest to me is Ibu Suryatini's column about regional foods; even though I'm not a foodie by any stretch of the imagination, it is of interest to note how localised Indonesian culture can be.
I very rarely read what Jeremy Wagstaffe writes as I really don't have an interest in techie stuff, but today's column is about a handphone, the Nokia 1100, which, he says, is just that, a phone that makes and receives phone calls and text messages. What is more, it apparently costs $20, roughly the same as an esia.
Of course, there are features I don't want, such as Picture Messaging, Stopwatch and countdown timer, built-in alarm and reminders, full-size animated screensavers, and two built-in games. There are also at least 49 accessories available.
So, here's my dilemma: should I buy an esia or a Nokia 1100?
Your comments on their user-friendliness and the after-sales service, especially here in Indonesia, would be much appreciated. Otherwise I'll do what I usually do.


text: Ok confession time, some times my mini sessions can turn into a full session. I had so much fun shooting these silly little girls. I think I connected with them so much because they were similar in age to my two girls. The way they interacted with each other was so much like my kids, that I uncontrollably shot way to many photos of them. That was good for mom and dad thoughhere are just a few of my faves.
