Oh hai, Jason here
Sometimes in an average everyday human beings life they don't want entertainment that takes up hours of their precious time that could be better used buying kale and watching gifs of newsreaders vomiting live on air...sometimes a person wants nice juicy bite sized chunks of entertainment that can watch with a single kettle boiling instalment. Good news all as while game of thrones will never give you a series of shorts revolving around Podrick Payne's day to day life cleaning armour, anime has you covered with a choice selection of bite sized anime that lasts from a mere 3 minutes up to a max of 15.
Before I start though lets mention some series that didn't get on this list. There's Ooya-san wa shishunki, a tale of a schoolgirl who's also a landlord...which is very dull. Bananya a tale of a cat/banana hybrid which isn't quite as interesting as that concept sounds but is worth a watch if you're bored and the comic artist and his assistants which is amazingly on dvd in spite of being very cliched and by the numbers. Quite a few anime's also have short episode spin-offs such as RE:Zero, but I've opted not to included them on this list as if you like the anime in question, you'll usually enjoy the bite sized extras. So here we go...a list of 7 of what are in my opinion the more enjoyable anime nibbles (anibbles?....).
7. I can't understand what my husband is sayingKaoru is a mid-twenties office work married to an Otaku, Hajime. Neither seem that well suited to each other yet somehow, with a bit of help from friends and family, it works. Like most anime on this list there's not a whole lot of ongoing plot development...although Kaoru and Hajime do face one major change over the course of the two series. It's a pretty likable anime with ALOT of references that may go over the heads of those who don't absorb every bit of anime going and it has one trope that I'm not fond of....the stereotypical character who's male but dresses and acts as a female. Now before the more left wing of you close this window my problem is that when this trope crops up in an anime theres always one character who treats the cross dressing character as weird (usually someone who receives romantic advances from them) this is a trope that's been about for some time and was actually progressive at one point...but it hasn't altered for over 20 years and has reached the point where it's frankly regressive....rant over. Other than this issue I can't understand what my husband is saying is a likable story about making marriages work, which is an under explored and interesting theme.
6. Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san
Speaking of tropes another common one within anime is characters having personality traits that are similar to perceived ones in animals...and that's the main theme of Inugami-san to Nekoyama-sam. The idea is simple, Inugami loves cats but has dog like characteristics....nekoyama loves dogs and has cat like characteristics...and so a pretty cute yuri romance is built. Throughout the anime we meet a few other characters who also display characteristics of animals as romance slowly blossoms between he two main girls. The only real issue I have is with the character of Hiiragi who's the mutual friend that allows Inugami and Nekoyama to meet in the first place but is frankly a bit unlikeable. In theory she's there to keep the overly enthusiastic Inugami in check but it just comes across like she's preventing the pair from getting closer. Other than that one woe this is a sweet little anime that unlike I can't understand what my husband is saying, has a positive attitude towards sexuality since the lesbian romance is treated very normally.
5. Plastic nee-san
Also known as +Tic Elder Sister, this is a good example of how being a bite sized anime can aid a series to really let go and go full on with the surrealism. The plot...what there is of it, focuses on the three students who make up the plastic model club. That's about it for plot....theres not even that much plastic model building, although the three girls, Iroe, Hazuki and Makina do each have a plastic model attached to the top of their heads (a lighthouse, a train carriage and a tank respectively). The episodes have pretty random humour with most of the entertainment being gained from Iroe "Nee-san's" hyperactive and unpredictable behaviour as well as some of the strange classmates in the school. Plastic nee-san is good turn your brain off entertainment that will drag out more than a few chuckles from any one.
4. Teekyu
Teekyu has alot in common with plastic nee-san in the sense it's a surreal comedy about a group of girls in a club (in this case the tennis club) but Teekyu cranks things up to 11 with a ridiculously fast pace...so much so that it's actually pretty tough to keep up with the subtitles. Teekyu also has a the advantage that there's alot more of it, with series 9 currently airing at the time of writing. The only other edge Teekyu has over the somewhat similar plastic nee-san is that there's a straight man in the group in the form of purple haired yuri which gives the series a bit of a different dynamic as there's someone to react to all the random weirdness happening around them.
3. Please tell me Galko-chan
Please tell me Galko-chan focuses on Galko, a Ganguro girl...which if you don't know is basically the Japanese version of an Essex girl or a Jersey shore girl. Lot's of make up, skimpy clothes, tanned to kingdom come and back, tons of accessories and a slutty reputation. However this series is about subverting those expectations as Galko is friends with the plain and geeky Otako and the ditsy rich girl Ojou. This friendship comes about mostly because Galko is actually quite open minded and has more varied likes in life than her appearance suggests, plus she's non-judgemental. There is also quite a bit of near the knuckle humour as this show is happy to talk about feminine hygiene and stuff along those lines but the core message is one of tolerance and accepting people for who they are, so all in all an entertaining, open minded anime with some slightly risque humour...well worth a watch.
2. Punchim@s
Punchim@s has a slightly weird origins as it's sort of kind of based off a spin-off of a videogame (that was alot of of's and off's). The Idolmaster is a long running videogame series in Japan that's appeared on multiple platforms focusing on managing various pop idols. Punchim@s is a short anime based on a four panel comic based on this videogame series....so yeah a along and winding path to its existence. It tells the tale of the Idols of 765 productions who throughout their day to day lives come across mini-chiba versions of themselves that they adopt. Many of these mini-idols have quirks, powers and abilities from something as simple as afu's hair changing colour depending on the season to Harukasan who multiples and/or changes sizes when she get's wet (yes...Gremlin's is acknowledged). Throw in various other little oddities such as the producer having a giant P as a head and you've got a short little anime that's both gentle yet also deeply weird.
1. Tonari no Seki-kun
It's nice to do a list where you're certain of whats going to take the top spot before you begin to start thinking about it. Tonari no Seki-kun is a charm packed 15 minute anime from the point of view of Rumi, a white haired girl who sits next to Seki, a boy who finds a variety of elaborate ways to kill time in class. Rumi tries to be a well behaved student but can't help but find Seki's games distracting which often gets her in trouble as she tries to get him to behave and pay attention. The thing I love about this anime is how much they get out of simple concepts such as dominos and chess, creating complex stories aided by Rumi's often tense narration. The only real issue is that some episodes refer to very Japanese things such as the Shogi....but outside of that one minor issues Tonari no Seki-kun is one of the most accessible anime's of any length and a real must watch packed with real charm.
Before I end thing's I'd just like to mention two other anime that are being aired at the time of writing, Aho girl, an amusing short anime about a girl who is painful dumb and Tsuredure children, about various blossoming romances between a variety of couples, both of these are as enjoyable as anything here, Now...it's clean up time.

The New Year is here and along with 2015 comes with a new snowboarding season you know I just HAVE to share some of my latest gear and products that the fat man left behind for me and how I like them so far. Some of them have been bought and used lightly but the full potential will be updated at the end of the 2015 season.
Burton Women's Rider Backpack – Ikat Stripe
With the new winter here and I'm patiently waiting for freshies to drop, getting a new pack for riding was a necessity for the GoPro accessories and mounts I will be using on the slopes. I have a backpack I use for riding but this new larger one from Burton will allow me to carry all of the gear, snacks, and drinks I will need for a full day on the slopes. The Women's Rider Backpack from Burton is a great new accessory with it's spacious compartments, horizontal/vertical board carrying capabilities, and the women's fit is a great plus with supportive straps. The shoulder straps conform really well for a women's fit and sit well on my back. I'm looking forward to using this on the slopes this year. I will be sure to check back with an update.
EDIT: Great backpack and I love it more and more every day. I feel like I keep finding more pockets I can stuff things into! Being a photographer, I love that I can stash all of my GoPro gear and mounts with plenty of room to spare for water, food, and extra layers. Great bag and great quality with the LifeTime Warranty.
GoPole Reach 14-40″ Extension Pole
This year Santa was kind enough to hook me up with my most exciting GoPro camera mount. The GoPole Reach Extension Pole reaches lengths of up to 40″ while also compact enough to cram down to a mere 14″ which can easily fit in most adventure packs. While I will be excited to use this on the slopes while hitting features and some deep powder, I'm also excited to bring this new toy with my on summer adventures hiking and canoeing too. Although I'm not a fan of #selfies I think this can be something that we rule out if I'm able to get some epic shredding #selfies.
UPDATE: This product has been returned and will not be purchased again. When I first opened this the thumb screw thread was wrong and wouldn't tighten the camera. I had to ask them for a new one. Then a plastic piece separated and I had to crazy glue it. Then right before I took it for it's first run, the entire bottom handle removed from the rest of the pole. Good thing I was on the lift, otherwise bye-bye GoPro. Needless to say this product is not worth $55.
Burton Women's Pipe Gloves – Blotto Shibuya Crossing
I have been waiting anxiously the last year or so to grab onto these. These sweet Women's Pipe Gloves by Burton are great for spring conditions, shoveling, and tailgating during the chilly winter months. Personally I would rather be using them during the snowboarding conditions, but either way I've found they are a true to fit and have a great quality to them. When they get wet on the palm they still keep my hands dry and warm on the inside. The whole palm on the glove is touchscreen adaptive so I can grab a call or change my tracks while riding. I love the minimal design and fun designs they have to offer. Definitely a great grab for any rider during the warmer months.
EDIT: These gloves are one of my favorite pairs I've ever owned. Whether I'm instructing and just need a thin layer or I'm shoveling fresh powder, these gloves do the job! I can't wait to buy another pair next year, I beat them up pretty well this year!
Hot Chilly's Women's Micro-Elite Chamois 8K Crewneck
Without a good base layer, your day can come to an end very quickly and very chilly. Instead I gear up with Hot Chilly's Women's Micro-Elite base layers both top and bottom to keep my body warm and dry with it's sweat-wicking technology. I've been using Hot Chillys base layers for about a decade now and I won't go back to anything else. They are comfortable, non-restricting, and warm layers that keep me going all day on the slopes. They are true to fit, but sometimes the sleeves on the shirts seem to be a bit long or maybe I have short arms. I usually like to pull the sleeves up a bit so my wrists aren't constricted.
SmartWool Women's PhD Snowboard Medium Socks
Just like Hot Chillys I have been using SmartWool Women's Snowboard Socks for quite some time and I just keep coming back. I've tried the trendy sock companies and their fun designs, but the performance just never matches up to SmartWool. The warmth and wicking fabric that keeps my feet dry and toasty all day just doesn't compare to the more expensive brands. In my last 10 years of riding I've only had to wear foot warmers once during a -15° day in Vermont and even then it was more preventative. I used to wear sock liners before I found SmartWool socks and my feet used to get clammy feeling, but since I've used these my feet have been warm and dry every run.

We're not picky about the bed situation, I think we'll all just pile in and share beds after we do a sun dance in our underwear and have a raging pillow fight or whatever. I love the Crystal lodge and they have a 2 bedroom for pretty cheap, but need more suggestions! Also... I'm almost ashamed to admit it... but none of these girls mountain bike eek:*gasp!*). I want to ride the park at least one day, maybe 2. I am putting out a standing invite for all ladies who will be in the area to ride with me any of those 3 days. Just reply and let me know you'll be around and we'll get a rockin' group of shredders to celebrate my kick-a$$ ladies weekend!

Visitors experienced a glimpse of Scottish heritage and culture during the 29th annual Texas Scottish Festival and Highland Games at the UT-Arlington Maverick Stadium Friday, May 8 through Sunday, May 10."You can't have a Scottish festival without bagpipes," said Jim Gibson, a pipe major in the Fort Worth Scottish Pipes and Drums, which entertained guests at the festival with traditional sounds of Scottish bagpipes and drummingThroughout the celebration, guests enjoyed a variety of cuisines, apparel and souvenirs as vendors enticed onlookers to their booths.Attending the festivities for the second time, Debbie Head, co-owner of Nana and Papa's Old Fashioned Kettle Corn, and her husband offered visitors a treat at their stand.From the food to the clothing to the music, Head said the celebration allowed guests to experience some of the traditions Scotland has to offer."I think it brings some culture to Arlington," she said.The family-friendly event offered guests with Scottish heritage a chance to trace back their family crests to discover which clan they were a part of."I've been coming here since I was his age," said Fort Worth resident, Jenny Spencer, pointing to her 3-year-old son. Spencer, whose grandfather was born in Scotland, said the festival allows her to connect to her roots. "I feel like it's in my blood."Visitors sat in lawn chairs and bleachers and watched amateurs and professionals throw logs and a burlap sheaf during the Scottish Highland Games, an athletic event showcasing traditional Scottish athletics."All the games go back to the old days," said Jeffrey Duer, one of the amateur athletes. His favorite event is usually the hammer throw, where competitors attempt to toss a 16- to 20-pound hammer.Chris Zemer, who has been selling original root beer at the Scottish festival since 2015, said the environment and the rock and roll Scottish music are major attractions of the festival.Zemer said three words describe the festival: "Don't miss it."

Creamy Tofu One Pot
I'll keep this one short and sweet, as this one doesn't need much of an explanation. It's a deliciously simple one-pan dish that takes minutes to make. The recipe serves one, but it can be easily doubled, leaving you leftovers for the next day as it travels well too!
It's made with the Mr Organic Grilled Pepper Add-In, which adds a delicious creaminess, pimping what would be a fairly simple dish into something special. I was kindly sent a jar of the Mr Organic Grilled Pepper Add-In to try. At first I wasn't sure what to do with it, but after using it in this dish, I'm sold! It's thicker and creamier than a traditional tomato sauce, so it can be used in multiple ways. However, I don't like sharing recipes that are too specific, as I want anyone and everyone to be able to give them a try, so if you can't get hold of a jar of the Grilled Pepper Add-In, then don't worry. This dish works equally well with regular pesto – sundried tomato is my favourite!
I used tofu as the source of protein for this dish as I really love tofu at the moment. I prefer a firm tofu, so it holds together when I cook it. I often get people telling me it doesn't taste of anything, but I actually love that it's got such a neutral in taste. However, if you aren't a fan of tofu (I know not everyone is!), then why not try chickpeas instead?
Without further ado, here's the recipe. I guarantee you'll have most of the ingredients in the fridge already!
Creamy Tofu One Pot
Serves 1
Time: 15 minutes
Gluten Free, Vegan
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1 garlic clove, finely sliced
- 1 tsp. mixed dried herbs
- 150g plain tofu, chopped into chunks
- 2 tbsp. Mr Organic Free From Grilled Pepper Stir-In Sauce
- 1 large or 1 small potatoes (approx. 200g)
- 1 medium courgette, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chop the potatoes into large chunks and place them into a pan of lightly salted water. Bring to the boil, simmer until tender (about 10 minutes) and then drain.
- Whilst the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a non-stick fry pan. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until beginning to soften.
- Add the tofu, courgette, herbs and grilled pepper sauce and mix everything together. Add a splash of water if it appears too dry.
- Serve straight away whilst still warm!
It's incredibly simple (I feel ashamed really calling it a recipe), but sometimes a little nudge is all the inspiration that you need to give something new a try. I'd love to know what you'd like to see here on My Life Is For Living. Quick mid week meals, breakfast bowls, healthy bakes? Let me know and I'll see what I can do! Either comment below or message me on Instagram and as usual, don't forget to tag me if you make any of my creations!
Until next time,

The Passion for the Nations Conference was held on March 14, 2009. Behind Passion for the Nations conference is a partnership of over 10 different organizations, united together by a single desire: to mobilize the Asian-American congregations to abandon their own plans and become more intentionally engaged in God's global purpose.
The attendance far exceeded everyone's expectations! But it wasn't just that a lot of people showed up; it's that they showed up with a sense of readiness to respond. The atmosphere throughout the entire day was one of longing to hear from God and eagerness to take action! A number of pastors and missions leaders commented during the conference: "God is definitely doing something very special here!"
At the end of the conference, as the various missions organizations were wrapping up their display booths, one representative said to me: "We have had more people sign-up to join our ministry from this one-day conference of 400 people, than from the past two years being at a local seminary's missions conference which lasts 3 days and has over 2,000 people in attendance!" Incredible! Indeed, God has been preparing this demographic of people to respond to His global heart!
One of the plenary speakers, after the evening session, said to me in amazement: "Wow…I was not ready for this!" I responded: "You know what? Neither were we!" Once in a while you just happen to get involved in something and suddenly, it becomes clear that what is happening is way beyond any group of people or any organizations' doing. And that the only reasonable explanation is that it is simply the work of God! Passion for the Nations was such an event.
People at the conference were inspired by messages from Asian-American pastors with global visions. Furthermore, their perspectives were broadened from workshops held by missionaries, seminary professors, and missions mobilizers on topics ranging from Business as Missions to Cross-cultural Ministry, from HIV/AIDS to Spiritual Warfare, from Reaching Int'l Students to Serving Long-term Overseas. The hope is for each person to discover their unique place in God's salvation plan for the nations!
Could it be that God desires to raise up thousands of Asian-Americans…some to be released into the most neglected parts of the world, and others to live intentionally radical lives in the U.S. with a love for all peoples? Is it upon God's heart to invite more Asian-Americans to invest their lives for the sake of the gospel and on behalf of the poor and the oppressed around the world?
God has given Asian-Americans a unique and strategic role in declaring His glory and displaying His love among all nations. Caught between two cultures, the Asian-American has the blend of American education and resources together with Asian family and social values. This bi-cultural identity makes them very suitable for cross-cultural ministry among some of the least reached people groups on earth!
The overwhelming response to Passion for the Nations 2009 conference confirmed what many already had an intuition about...namely, that God is doing something unique and significant among this generation of Asian-Americans in terms of global missions involvement. Essentially, here is an army of bi-cultural, educated, motivated, tech-savy people, hungering for a purpose greater than what their parents have in mind for them and what the American society tries to sell them.
The question now is: Will we move from inspiration to action? Will this generation of Asian-Americans rise up and take their role in the expansion of God's kingdom into all the world? For us to respond to what God longs to do through us will require significant sacrifice, perseverance, faith, and courage? Are we ready?
A large number of post-conference surveys indicated that people are wanting to see this conference held on a regular basis. But more importantly, it is clear that God is moving. So plans are already progressing for Passion for the Nations 2010! Be on the lookout for what the King of kings is doing! We hope to see you there…for the sake of His renown among all nations, language, tribes, and people.

Hi I'm Scott
I live in Arizona, and I served a mission in the Philippines. I accept Jesus as my Savior, and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am married and a father of 3 young children. I am a college graduate of Northern Arizona University. I enjoy spending time with my family.
Why I am a Mormon
I joined the Church after seeing the example of many of the men in the Church. These men would work normal jobs, then volunteer their time in the evenings and weekends in order to serve God and their neighbors. I wanted to belong to a church that required men to be strong examples in their home and community.
How I live my faith
I live my faith by loving my family and God enough to do the right thing. If I obey the Lord's commandments by trying as hard as I can to live a righteous life, then I can look forward to the Lord's blessings.

This is a couple that came from Oran and Ian's mother's collection.
King Krent (Krehnt) is blunt, and perhaps, by some standards, a bit rude when it comes to certain situations. If you're looking for sugar coating to save your feelings, this is not the guy you're looking for. He is most skilled in communicating via telepathy and in dreams.
His Bride of over 5400 years is Cordea (Core-dee-ah) . She is an excellent communicator and is skilled in many aspects: Dreams, telepathy, tarot, automatic writing and subliminal thought. She is a bit gentler than her King but she is still very honest with her keeper. She is just one of those entities that believe that you should see/know all that is hidden from you.
Their daughter Harran (Har-an) is more of a new age entity. With her human-like personality, she is very down to earth. Very up-to-date on all things going on with the world. She is very social, logical and is a great life-coach.
These guys are seriously amazing companions.
They have a very long list of "can do's"
Financial Security
Protection against financial loss
Creative wealth
Setting & meeting goals
Removing obstacles and blockages
Communicating with entities of all breeds on your behalf
Finding truth
Revealing theft, deceit, ill intent etc
Protection - physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, magickal
Revenge - getting even
Self esteem
Gaining favor
Capturing the attention of others
Letting go of inhibitions
Attracting lovers (same sex or opposite sex)
And so much more!!
These guys are dedicated and very loyal companions.
Possible Manifestations - shadows, blurs, electronic disturbance, animal possession, whispers, EVP, footsteps, knocking, tapping, humming, photographic disturbance and many many other things.
Their pendant is sterling silver.

So. Short post.
We're in KK, Malaysia. Beautiful place.
A whole bunch of people left, and a whole bunch of new 'uns joined.
The crazy Swedish dude left my AV team and headed home, after two years on board, and now I've got a new American the team. It's fun training him, although kind of strange. I've taught AV stuff to so many people now. It's hard to remember what I've taught to whom. I've got a basic Doulos AV curriculum, finally, but it's difficult to get it all together. Theres so many little bits of randomness.
So now the team is one Korean, one Brit, one American, and one confused-not-quite-sure-ean(me).
Amongst the new recruits is one of my friends from the UK, which is very cool. She seems to be enjoying the ship so far, and is working in the "Accomedation" team, cleaning the inside of the ship, doing the laundry, running the bookshop cafe, etc.
Anyway. So. This was intended to be a short post, and mostly informational...
It's my girlfriend's birthday tomorrow. The whole present-buying-birthday-celebration-rituals-cultures-thing terrifies me. Like, I dunno. Something about my INFP/TCK nature, I guess. I want everything I do to be meaningful, and genuine. Especially with those who are really dear to me. That's the INFP side... But also, I feel like so many things (such as buying presents on birthdays, putting up signs, cards, etc) are very superficial, and just a crass part of some culture.
I want to buy presents that are really real - not just bought "because" of the birthday. Yet I don't know if buying presents *for* the birthday, like, "doing the birthday thing" is also a way of being real, within a culture?
I don't totally relate personally to any culture, really, and find almost all cultures have things which offend me, and which I don't fit into.
Also, on the other hand, more practically, I know that there is an element I also probably ought to have of simply "Daniel, just grow up, accept the fact that you're not all that great at buying presents, so get over it, stop making all these stupid theoretical excuses and work harder than everyone else to actually do it well, and on time. Stop being so lazy."

This lookbook you just finished is more than amazing. Its a wonderful piece of art from people who live the nature and do what they love the most by being creative and present theirselves the most beautiful way. The theme "mystic moon" is just perfect and the way you chose colors and matching jewelry couldnt be better said.
I study fashion design and am working on 3 different collections right now. One is called "autumn bliss" and the moon is a big topic for me aswell. As you've said, the mystic part is the one which catches us...
Thank you for sharing, really inspiring for everybody! ♥

Choosing your wedding dress could be the best aspect or the scariest part of planning your wedding. Luckily, Isabel O'Neil can assist in either side of the spectrum you may fall in. With gorgeous and detailed dress options lining the store, it's impossible not to have a wonderful time choosing the perfect dress! We asked MaryIsabel Rooney, the owner and buyer at Isabel O'Neil Bridal Collection, about her South Tampa boutique and advice for when you're looking for the dress.
What makes you different or unique from other bridal shops in the Tampa area?
We offer a truly personalized shopping experience for the bride and her party by being open by appointment only but also by tailoring each appointment to the bride and her interests. The boutique carries an exclusive assortment of couture gowns, veils and accessories. It is the only one in the bay area featuring wedding gown designs by Romona Keveza, Ines Di Santo, BLISS Monique Lhuillier, Alyne, and soon-to-come Kenneth Pool.
How do your appointments work?
We provide an intimate bridal experience for each bride-to-be by scheduling private appointments. During these appointments, we take the time to get to know the bride, her style, and her vision for her wedding day in order to help the bride select the appropriate gowns to try on. We also offer our suggestions on other gowns that the bride may not have considered, as well as accessory and bridal party styling. We like to make everyone invited to the appointment feel comfortable and serve champagne to celebrate the occasion!
What is the general price range of your gowns?
The price range varies from $1,500 to $10,000 based on the style of gown but the majority of the gowns in the showroom are between $2,000 to $5,000.
How do you go about picking what designers to have in store?
We are very particular in choosing designer lines to offer at our boutique. They have to provide a certain level of quality and fit as well as beautiful design. All of our gowns are constructed of the finest fabrics with the majority of the gowns in the store made of European silks and laces. About 90% of our dresses are also made in North America and all of the gowns can be customized as they are made-to-order.
How do you predict what will sell or what will be in style?
We take notes from every appointment and every conversation with our brides on what they initially envisioned, pictures that they bring in, as well as what styles have continually sold the best in the store. We continually tweak our buying strategy at every market with the information we gather from our brides. We also share this information with our designers when they request feedback on what our brides are asking for.
How do you go about choosing a dress for someone who has no idea what they're looking for?
We begin to talk to them about their personal style as well as what the theme or feel of the wedding will be. We can start the appointment with trying on several different silhouettes and once she has chosen what she feels the best in we can begin to fine tune the fabrics and embellishments they like best.
How early should someone look for their wedding dress?
The ideal time to shop for a dress is between 9 months to a year prior to your wedding. Some gowns may take up to 6 months to produce so it is important to order your gowns at the 9-month mark to ensure that it will arrive in time to begin alterations, order additional accessories, etc.
What is Bridal Fashion Week like for Isabel O'Neil?
Bridal Fashion Week is amazing! We go to New York twice a year to personally select each gown that will be offered in our showroom. It is important to see the gowns in person to see the fit and feel the fabrics. We have back-to-back appointments with our designers as well as runway shows and new designers to meet as well. It can be overwhelming but so worth it!
If you could give one piece of advice for a bride shopping for her wedding dress, what would it be?
Definitely be open to trying on a suggestion from the bridal stylist, sometimes gowns look so much better on you then on the hanger and you never know when you may surprise yourself by falling in love with a gown that was not necessarily what you thought you were going to buy!
Oh So Classy EVENTS loves the options and the personal touch that Isabel O'Neil gives to their brides. You can keep up with Isabel O'Neil on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.
To insure an intimate and personalized bridal experience for each bride-to-be, bridal consultations are by appointment only. To make an appointment or discuss your wedding dress needs, you can e-mail Isabel O'Neil at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 813.251.1749. You can also visit them ON their website!

The first year we were married my wife boldly offered to have everyone over for Christmas dinner. She was a great cook and we loved to entertain so I agreed and we worked together to plan the menu and mix the two family traditions as best we could.
We knew we had to have turkey and ham to keep both fathers happy and certain vegetables had to be cooked a certain way and the dessert had to have both Canadian and Dutch flavours. We started early the day before to prepare and we discussed who should sit where.
We discussed how to defuse potential situations and we arranged for pre-dinner snacks and made sure we had beer, rum, eggnog and Akavit, a nasty Dutch schnapps that sneaks up on you and makes you say things you wouldn't normally say.
The evening went great and the meal was well received by all. For dessert you had a choice of traditional hot Christmas pudding with hard sauce , apple pie or slices of thick moist Christmas cake. We all ate too much.
The rest of the evening passed with games and conversations and when it was time to leave my wife packed up turkey for everyone to take home and we turned out the lights , congratulated each other and went to bed.
Boxing Day morning arrived and I slipped quietly out of bed, I turned on the TV and found a football game on and went into the kitchen to make a pot of coffee. The house was quiet, the neighbourhood was quiet and I didn't have to work. The plan was to just sit and relax after yesterday's planning and presentation of dinner.
After a bit I decided to make something to eat. Not just anything, that perfect Boxing Day clubhouse sandwich. Even while I was eating Christmas dinner I was tasting that sandwich. Thick slices of turkey and ham, stuffing, cranberry sauce, two big slices of dill pickle, mayo, salt and pepper and washed down with a glass of eggnog.
I opened the fridge door and started moving things around and I couldn't find the turkey or ham. Where was the leftovers? With trepidation, I opened the freezer compartment and there was my sandwich. All the ingredients neatly packed into Tupperware containers or Ziplock bags, labelled with the date on them, frozen solid.
They say we never truly know our spouses when we first get married. How was I to know that a promise not to freeze Christmas leftovers should have been included in our wedding vows?
On closer examination the news got worse. Scraping the frost off the containers I could see the word 'soup' written on a couple. When I opened them there were no big, thick slices , just diced up chunks.
Where was the drumstick? Where was my boxing day sandwich? Sure, I could have put it in the microwave but it's just not the same. It has to be carved right off the carcass and layered neatly on the bread. You can't place little chunks on the slice of bread like a jig saw puzzle.
But we were still newlyweds and when she got up and offered to make bacon and eggs, I said that would be just fine. But I could see Uncle Bob at home biting into my Boxing Day clubhouse. There is nothing like Christmas dinner leftovers, guard them with your life.
At least that's what McGregor says.

We have been presented so far with three prospective candidates who have past connections with the PAP. One was a deputy prime minister, deputy chairman of GIC and chairman of the Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). Another was a PAP MP and the third a PAP branch office-bearer. So the electors were actually presented with a Hobson's choice. Now we have a fourth prospective candidate in the person of Mr. Tan Jee Say who has no past connection with the PAP and is a refreshing entrant in the presidential fray.
Mr. Tan Jee Say was a Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) candidate in the General Election in May but failed to capture the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC in which he contested with his party comrades. He is said to have resigned from the SDP to contest the presidential election as an independent candidate. He has creditable credentials and there is every reason that he will succeed in getting qualified as a candidate.
Mr. Tan Jee Say stands out as a candidate truly independent of the PAP Government. In this way he stands a very good chance of garnering the anti-establishment votes. The other three candidates - Dr. Tony Tan, Dr. Tan Cheng Bock and Mr. Tan Kin Lian- will have to contend with one another for the pro-PAP votes. This is likely to be the scenario because the current electoral mood is still to shun the white (白色忌讳)(the white meaning the PAP) and may target candidates with past PAP connections.
The election of Mr. Tan Jee Say as president is likely to cause consternation to the PAP Government. Mr. Tan knows that as president he has very little executive powers except custodial responsibility on national reserves and he has to work within the constraints of the Constitution. For the first time in Singapore's history, PAP leaders will have the discomfiting experience of dealing with a president with opposition background. And there will no longer be a yes-man at their beck and call. Six years is a long time and there will be no guarantee that during this lengthy tenure of the president there will be complete harmony between the president and the PAP Government. So if Mr. Tan Jee Say could be disqualified as a candidate it will save the PAP Government untold discomforts, if not displeasures, in having to deal with a self-assertive and independent president. With the PAP any bizarre scenario is not an impossibility.
If Mr. Tan Jee Say is indeed elected president, it will be a celebratory occasion for true Singaporeans. It will show the political awakening of the people who dare to display displeasures to the so-called PAP democratic rule. In fact this is a continuing phenomenon from the General Election in May which witnessed the PAP's first defeat in the reputable Aljunied GRC and reduction of its total votes to 60.1%. There is no reason not to expect this electoral mood to continue in the presidential election.

Mansfield Town
Colchester United
Davies 82.
Szmodics 90+5
Attendance: 3909 (196 from Colchester)
Date: 18 August 2018
Martin Shaw at the One Call Stadium, Field Mill
Mansfield Town conceded an equaliser to Colchester United with virtually the last kick of the game this afternoon at the One Call Stadium. In a very tight game, the Stags had taken the lead on 82 minutes with a fabulous strike by substitute Craig Davies from 20 yards, left footed into the left corner of the net after his first shot had been blocked straight back to him. It was Mansfield's first effort on target. It seemed that the Stags would hang on for an important three points. Four minutes of stoppage time was added on. With the four minutes played, a shot from substitute Mandron from the edge of the box was pushed away by Conrad Logan for a throw-in, level with the edge of the six-yard box. Ryan Jackson's throw-in was hurled towards the net. Logan came for the ball, but it sailed over him and Sammie Szmodics diverted the ball into the empty net from virtually on the goal-line. A bad mistake from Logan which was very costly. No argument from Stags manager David Flitcroft after the game about the referee playing more than 4 minutes, and he was right, as it was only about 30 seconds over time, during which time Tyler Walker had been booked for kicking the ball away to waste time. It was a gut-wrenching end to the game. However a draw was a fair result. Colchester are much-fancied this season, and whilst they created little going forward, they were extremely effective at stopping Mansfield from playing the excellent flowing and attacking football that we saw against Accrington on Tuesday night. Colchester manager John McGreal noted after the game that he came with a game-plan to nullify Mansfield. In a game of few chances, Colchester keeper Dillon Barnes had a very quiet afternoon, picking the ball out of the net from Davies' wonder-strike, and just have one other save to make, a Danny Rose shot straight at him on 84 minutes. Conrad Logan made a good save in the first half, clawing away a header from Luke Prosser on 19 minutes following a corner, and then didn't have another save to make until that shot from Eastman, immediately followed by his mistake that was so costly. The Stags were generally solid at the back, with Ryan Sweeney having a good game, while going forward it wasn't until Craig Davies came on after 58 minutes that the Stags had a real presence up front, as he held the ball, won several free kicks and scored that fabulous goal. Too many quiet performances from the Stags in midfield, including Otis Khan, Calum Butcher and Jacob Mellis, along with both wing-backs CJ Hamilton and Mal Benning who had very little joy. Alex MacDonald was probably the pick of the midfield for a hard-working performance and some good tackling. Both Mansfield and Colchester remain unbeaten, and on 5 points from 3 games. The Stags go to Tranmere on Tuesday night (*).
(*) If you are not going to Tranmere on Tuesday, you can watch the full match live, with full commentary, on iFollow Stags, for £10. This will be the case for all midweek league games this season, home and away.
Mansfield kept the same outfield 10 as demolished Accrington on Tuesday. It seemed a sensible decision after such a good performance. The only change was bringing Logan back in for Olejnik in goal.
So the formation was again 3-4-2-1:
White, Pearce, Sweeney;
Hamilton, MacDonald, Mellis, Benning;
Butcher, Khan;
Matt Preston again missed out with concussion, having taken a turn for the worse on Thursday and having to go to A&E.
It was a pleasant day in Mansfield with a light breeze.
The game got off to a scrappy start. Then on 5 minutes, Hamilton cut inside from the right and sent a powerful left footed shot from 30 yards just wide and over. Not a bad effort.
The Stags kept the ball for a very long spell on 9 minutes but without getting the ball anywhere near Colchester's final third and eventually put it out for a throw-in. From the video, the Stags kept the ball for 1 minute 28 seconds without Colchester touching it.
On 10 minutes, Walker did well to win a corner. Khan's corner was just missed by Sweeney at the far post.
On 14 minutes, Khan was fouled 29 yards from goal to the right of centre. Benning tried a shot from the resulting free kick but hit it straight into the wall.
Colchester came close to taking the lead on 19 minutes. From Dickinson's corner from the right, Prosser rose above Sweeney at the far post and his header was heading inside the post before Logan made a good save clawing it away.
The Stags were being closed down effectively by Colchester giving the Stags no space at all. Mansfield tried long balls as well and they weren't working either.
Pearce was booked for a deliberate foul on 36 minutes.
On 43 minutes, Khan's ball forward to Walker was overhit, and summed up a lack of quality in the game.
Pearce made a good tackle on 45+1 minutes.
Sweeney was booked on 45+1 minutes for deliberately blocking off Nouble.
Not a great half of football at all. It was scrappy, with very, very few chances as Colchester completely stifled the Stags.
Half time 0-0
On 50 minutes, a good punch away by Logan from a corner.
Sweeney was floored by Lapslie's shot hitting him in the face from 30 yards on 54 minutes.
The Stags were creating nothing and had to change it. On 58 minutes, Davies came on for Butcher and joined Walker up front.
The Stags won a couple of corners on 62 minutes as the decibel levels went up with the home fans trying to get the side going. But both corners were wasted by Khan.
A great tackle by MacDonald on Nouble on 64 minutes.
A half chance for the Stags on 65 minutes as MacDonald elected not to shoot from 25 minutes and instead tried to play the ball forward to Walker in the area but he couldn't control the ball.
On 68 minutes, Khan put in a good left footed cross from the right but it was just inches over Walker.
Colchester brought on Luke Norris on 72 minutes. Norris was Flitcroft's centre forward at Swindon last season.
Another good tackle by MacDonald on 74 minutes.
With things still not working for the Stags, Flitcroft made his final changes for the Stags on 77 minutes bringing on Rose for Khan, and Bishop for Mellis. The Stags now had three strikers in Walker, Davies and Rose.
On 80 minutes, Rose started on a strong run on goal but was cynically tripped from behind by Prosser. The free kick from 35 yards and a yellow card for Prosser was no reward at all for the Stags though the referee's decision was technically correct.
Out of the blue, the Stags took the lead on 82 minutes with a fabulous strike by substitute Craig Davies from 20 yards, left footed into the left corner of the net after his first shot had been blocked straight back to him. It was Mansfield's first effort on target.
Having not had a shot on target, the Stags had a second shot on target on 84 minutes as Hamilton headed inside to Rose, who cut in from the right and his left footed shot was straight at the keeper.
Davies was playing really well and drew two free kicks as the Stags tried to run down the clock.
Four minutes of time was added on.
Walker was booked for kicking the ball away on 90+3 minutes. Moments later, he also conceded a free kick. That free kick was cleared for a throw-in on the halfway line.
With the four minutes now played, and following that throw-in, Mandron fired in a shot from the edge of the box which Logan pushed away for a throw-in level with the edge of the six-yard box. Ryan Jackson's throw-in was hurled towards the net. Logan came for the ball, but it sailed over him and Sammie Szmodics diverted the ball into the empty net from virtually on the goal-line. A bad mistake from Logan which was very costly.
The referee blew the whistle straight after the restart. Absolutely gut-wrenching.
Man of the match: Ryan Sweeney / Craig Davies
Report by: Martin Shaw at the One Call Stadium, Field Mill
Line Up:
Logan 5 Such a costly mistake for the goal. Came for a long throw-in, but it sailed over him and Szmodics diverted the ball into the empty net from virtually on the goal-line. Good save in the first half, clawing away a header from Prosser.
White 6 Defended ok.
Pearce 6.5 Solid game with a few good tackles.
Sweeney 7 Good game in defence, though beaten to one header by Prosser who forced a good save from Logan.
Hamilton 6 Little joy going forward. One good shot early on, a powerful left footed shot from 30 yards just wide and over.
MacDonald 6.5 The pick of the midfield for a hard-working performance and some good tackling.
Mellis 6 Too quiet.
Benning 6 Like Hamilton, little joy pushing forward. One shot from a free kick, straight into the wall.
Butcher 6 Did ok, without sparkling as he did on Tuesday.
Khan 6 One good cross, but generally his set pieces were disappointing.
Walker 6 Nothing came off for him.
Sub Line Up:
Davies (for Butcher, 58 mins) 7 Played really well, with a fabulous goal.
Rose (for Khan, 77 mins) - Looked sharp. Good run which brought a free kick.
Bishop (for Mellis, 77 mins) - Did well.
Subs not used: Olejnik, Gibbens, Atkinson, Sterling-James.
Opposition Line Up:
(4-2-3-1): Barnes; Jackson, Kent, Prosser, Vincent-Young (sub Eastman, 87); Lapslie, Pell; Senior (sub Norris, 72), Szmodics, Dickenson; Nouble (sub Mandron, 87). Subs not used: Ross, Wright, Comley, Collins.
Michael Salisbury 7 Handled the game well. Got the time added on right in my opinion, and got the bookings just about right. Calmed down one "handbags" moment very well such that it didn't escalate.

Research is essential to learning about anything new. You will want to gather information and tips that are both safe and effective during your research. The following article contains some great advice on downloading music to help you build your collection.
Be careful of which sites you use to download music online. Stick to reputable, well-known websites since there are many viruses that you can gain from downloading. Remember that it is always better to keep your private information safe when dealing with lesser known sites.
When you download music, always keep track of songs and albums that you have already purchased. Doing this is a complete waste of money. You can check out your purchase history on different services.
If downloading music from free sites, proceed with caution. Hackers that wish to get viruses spread may do this by trying to offer music for free that they think people are going to want. Often, you will be oblivious to the additional items until your device quits functioning.
Be sure to investigate music specials when visiting the Amazon music download site. Amazon often offers deals on single downloads and entire albums, and this saves you money. The deals are constantly changing, so check in often.
Look for reviews of download websites prior to your first download with them. Be sure to look for any reviews that can testify to the download safety of the website and the quality of all of the downloads. If you cannot find any mention of the site elsewhere on the web, you might want to look for one that is recommended and verified by others.
Use previews to listen to samples before you pay up for a whole album. The previews will give you access to sound clips of each song prior to buying it. The downloading sites that are the most popular provide this feature for free. This will help you avoid purchasing an entire album of music you don't like.
If you download music from the Internet, it is vital that you always cover yourself with current anti-virus software. Safety should always be a concern when it comes to electronic devices. Be careful as you download. This is especially crucial if you're using P2P clients. Scan the file first before you do anything. It is very easy to download a file that looks legitimate but is not.
Before you open a music file, look at the size of the file. It's crucial that you don't download the wrong thing. This can be hard for your computer to deal with. Check the file size before you download. If it appears too small or large, you should delete it without opening it.
Always remember the music that is already in your collection as you download new songs. You do not want to waste money on tracks you already have. Check out the history of the music you purchased.
You should make sure any music you are downloading is of the highest quality so it will sound the best. Check out how many kilobytes per second the songs are on each file. The higher the kb/s, the better the track will sound.
Look at the specials on Amazon's music site. You can sometimes get tremendous discounts on single songs or whole albums, and this provides a lot of value. The deals change from day to day, so keep an eye on Amazon for great savings on music downloads.
Google offers a great subscription service if you're on an Android platform. This service from Google is Music All Access. It's like many other subscription services, except it works great for Android devices. Also, it will only cost you about 10 dollars each month.
If you enjoy quite a few of an artist's songs, it is probably a good idea to buy the album. Regardless of vendor, it is often more expensive to buy single songs than an entire album. You also have more music to explore. You can even find a song that you love.
Have you located a place to download a song but you're not sure about the website you found it at? Check out the reviews on the web about the site. You need to find out if the site has been checked for viruses or malware. Do not download from any site for which you come across reviews that make reference to either of these.
Is there a music file that you want to download, but the website where it is located is unfamiliar? First, do a thorough search online to see what other users have to say about the reputation of the site. You should be especially concerned with reviews that bring up viruses and malware. If you find these things being discussed in regards to a particular site, scratch that site off your list.
Your downloads will go more quickly if it is the only thing using your Internet at the time. The best scenario is to restart your computer to ensure that there are no background software programs running, and to disconnect any other devices from the Internet connection.
If you wish to get music downloaded as fast as you can, be sure people aren't using the connection you have to the Internet when you're trying to use it. Shutting down every device that uses your network, and then restarting the computer can help you have a better connection.
As you work to choose a site to download your music from, find one that makes it possible to preview the music track. That allows you to check the quality before you buy. Smaller sites will not guarantee quality. Previewing tracks is going to let you only download good quality tracks.
Preview any music before buying it. You want to ensure the files you will be downloading are of good quality before purchasing anything. When you buy from an unknown firm, this is a must. You can be sure of getting the song you want if you listen to the sample before buying.
Find a good subscription site. Downloading songs legally and individually can get pricy. These days, there are a lot of places online that you can pay to subscribe to if you wish to save some cash. When you are looking for a subscription service, take note of the way in which the music is stored and any limits to downloads.
Look for deals everyday on getting new music downloads at a discount. Both iTunes and Amazon have these deals on both old and new music. How can anyone pass up a variety of great music at reasonable prices?
There is more to the Internet Archive than websites! It can also give you a list of great MP3s for free that aren't hard to download. Look here for a variety of online content, which the site is attempting to archive.
When you use a paid site, downloading software is usually okay. If the service is free, though, don't accept extras. These downloads range from mildly annoying for you to extremely harmful for your computer.
If you want the music but don't want to download, us an online radio service. By marking particular artists as your favorite, these services will tailor the songs they play to your interests. Some options are Slacker, Pandora and Last.fm.
Do some comparison shopping between subscription services. If you download your music legally and individually, it can be pretty expensive. You can save money by subscribing to a service. When you shop for these, pay attention to the limitations of downloading and the method in which the music files are stored.
Don't expect your downloads to be free. Obtaining free music tracks is often tempting, but the tracks will likely be sub-par. Besides, it is most likely not legal and is going to compromise your computer. Digital music doesn't cost that much, particularly when you buy a song here and there.
If you want to score some music for free, try music archives. These are completely legal because they have already been given to the public. There is a ton available to listen to, and you never know what sort of gems you might find as you peruse the catalog.
Make sure you back up the iTunes library you build on a frequent basis. Your computer might unexpectedly break, so your settings could be lost. It is a good idea to back up your files on an external device.
Are you trying to decide between streaming your music and MP3 downloads? There are many songs that you will have to store. Even so, streaming only works with an Internet connection and the bandwidth on your cell will be incredibly expensive. This makes the decision a more difficult one and individualized.
Using Rhapsody is a great way to legally download music. You can try this program for free and then you can pay $10 monthly for as many downloads as you want. Paying this small fee provides you with legal access to lots of wonderful music.
Purchase songs from sites that do not require downloading extra programs. A reputable site like iTunes may require downloads, but it is obviously safe. Be cautious with new, unknown sites. Particularly if the site doesn't cost any money to use, you need to exercise extreme caution.
This can easily help you put all your CDs into iTunes. Put the CD in your computer and then hit "Import CD" on iTunes. It just takes a few moments and then all your favorite music will be available to you in mp3 format on your tablet, mp3 player and other devices.
Rhapsody is one of many services available for music downloading without worrying about the law. The program lets you try if free of charge, but for a fee you can download all the music you need. You won't have to worry about getting in trouble for illegally downloading music.
Be wary of downloads that require downloading extra files and applications. They're adware which can mess with your online activities. Deselect those items, only downloading the music. Sometimes you can't get the music without these additional files. If that is the case, avoid getting music from that site.
It is easy to load your physical compact discs into iTunes. Check the ones you want on your music player once the disk is in your computer. Then import! Though this may seem time consuming, it is certainly faster than old fashioned high-speed dubbing.
Look for support for multiple platforms all at one digital music outlet, if you find yourself employing many devices made by different brands. Try checking out Amazon or Google. Both such platforms are compatible with most devices.
If your iTunes account is a disorganized mess, use TuneUp to organize it. It ensures you don't waste your time cleaning everything up manually.
Your iTunes interface can appear cluttered, but there are available solutions. Simply right click inside the column title area and uncheck any that you do not need. This will leave behind only the information you are looking for, making searching much quicker and easier.
You can clean up your iTunes with a few simple steps. Uncheck the columns that you do not use or need. This will leave all of the ones you use often, which will make it simpler to perform a search.
If you can't find music anywhere except on a video sharing site, you may be in luck! Using a converter online will allow you to get a link put into it so you can get an MP3 file. This ensures you can find every song you want without overpaying.
If you've only heard a song on YouTube, you can still get that music download! Online converters allow you to type in a link and get an mp3 file. You can get some obscure music without having to pay a ton for online radio stations or CDs.
When learning something new, it's important to find the best information available. The advice given here is just that. When you use them, you should have no problem downloading your own music.
Before subscribing to a particular music service, give the free version a try. Free, or "lite" versions, give you limited access to key features. Try these out before you spend any money. Be sure that your service isn't hard to use and is what you would be willing to put money into.

As well as loving the pools here, I am a huge fan of the libraries. We are regulars at Winterthur city library. It is open all day Monday to Saturday, has a huge children's floor in the basement, which includes an English section, dual language books, films, Nintendo games, etc, lots of imaginative seating areas and a teenage section with fantastic comics and graphic novels in all languages. There are also regular children's story sessions in German and English.
But the point of this blog post is that while shopping at Töss Zentrum today (which includes a fab Turkish treasure trove of a shop where you can find all those things you can't find elsewhere) I decided to take a snoop in the library there, which is situated on the upper floor to the left of the car park and is included on my Winterthur library card. In the entrance there were several boxes with books for sale - where I found a hard back version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the new illustrated version, FOR JUST 1CHF! There, a bargain is possible in Switzerland.
