Attention craft and party stores of America: your Halloween decorations need a serious makeover. We've been over the kitschy orange, black garland, inflatable ghosts, and rubber spiders *not subtly* falling from the trees for awhile now. Admit it. Most of the time, we spend way too much time and money buying Halloween decorations that look cheap and smell like old warehouses. When done best, home decor is simple with a thoughtful layering of textures, textiles, and colors, and this year, I am liking Halloween done the same way.
Decorating your home for costume parties and trick-or-treaters is fun and exciting, but it's also time-consuming and can get expensive quickly – especially if you're trying to keep up with all the holiday overachievers on your block. But here's the thing: Halloween decorations don't have to be tossed in the trash – or worse, the garage, never to see the light of day again – come November 1. This year, we're removing the pressure to transform our homes into full-blown haunted houses, and are opting for decor that will last throughout the Fall season. From not-so-spooky curb appeal to beautiful fall table scapes, we've rounded up our favorite finds and tips for Halloween decor that will make your home feel festive and fun, while still remaining sophisticated and cozy. Trick, or chic? Scroll on for some serious Halloween eye candy.

When shopping for decor, choose a cohesive Fall color palette – such as bright whites, pastel yellows, and soft greens – and stick with it throughout. A clean background with a few pops of fall color and fun accents make decorating for Halloween easy and affordable. The best place to start is with curb appeal that is sure to one up your neighbor.

Glow String Lights
When done right, string lights aren't just for dorm rooms and man caves. Place some around your porch plants, along your front door, or on top of other exterior decor to add a subtle sparkle. We love these twinkle lights—they're simple, elegant, and battery-operated, so you can light up the inside or outside of your home with a pretty orange glow.

Heirloom Is the New Black
Just because it is autumn doesn't mean your house needs to be orange and black. Decorate with white pumpkins, gourds, and mums rather than the traditional pumpkin route. Fairytale, or "Cinderella", pumpkins (the flat, lighter-colored varieties) are great for a more modern feel, as they're less traditional than your standard round, orange variety.
Since real pumpkins and gourds can get very pricey, these grapevine pumpkins are great to mix in, as they come in multiple sizes, and can be used year after year. They provide a woodsy nature vibe when mixed in with the rest of your pumpkins on the porch, or add a textured look to your indoor decor.

We recommend incorporating small side tables or garden stools into your front porch decor to create different levels for pumpkins, twinkle lights, and greenery. They're also perfect for placing jack-o-lanterns or candy bowls on the night of Halloween. Shop our favorites here, here, and here.

The Perfect Fall Wreath
The inspiration for Camille's Halloween front porch decor started with this pretty natural wheat wreath. The neutral color and organic texture created the perfect focal piece for her front door. If you're looking for a fun craft project, we suggest picking up some beautiful fall foliage from your local farmers market and creating your own. Here's some tips for mastering the DIY wreath.

Fresh Flowers
Freshen up your front porch pots with bright flowers – sunflowers, dahlias, or orange marigolds are great picks for fall. Since they require lots of sunlight to flourish, make sure you choose a spot that gets maximum light throughout the day. Check out our tips for creating the perfect arrangement in our fall flower guide.

Light the Black Flame Candle
Flickering candlelight makes everything feel more special, and on Halloween, it adds a necessary spooky element too. We love the look of a mantle decked out with different types of candles in varying heights—like these black candelabras—to create an inviting glow that's visible as soon as trick or treaters (or party animals) walk through the door.

To make the outdoor and indoor decor cohesive, place different colored pumpkins in and around the fireplace. Then add tall candelabras on the mantle, surrounded by subtle greenery – such as eucalyptus or succulents. By decorating the fireplace and mantle, (or bookshelves and windowsills, if you don't have a fireplace), your home will automatically feel anchored in fall feels, without going overboard.

Dress Up Your Bottle Service
If I had to choose one thing to decorate inside my home (besides the fireplace mantle), it would be the bar cart. I mean, the life of the party needs its own costume too, right? Find our favorite bar carts here, here, and here.
Get some metallic spray paint from your local craft store and DIY mini skulls to place on your cart between bottles, or DIY a giant, moody floral backdrop. I also love these succulent skulls, and these if you're looking to add a fun Mexican flare.
Once your cart is decked out in true Ol Hallow's Eve style, it's time to pour yourself one of our favorite Halloween cocktails.

For a decorative detail that's just as effective—yet way spookier— than a lush flower arrangement, pack colorful herbs and foliage into glass decanters, and cluster them on your bar cart, side table, or any surface in your party space. Shop our favorites here, here and here.

For a floral display that's truly to die for, create custom poison labels and adhere them to empty glass bottles and jars. Then fill the bottles with dead and dried up blooms… an arrangement that's as easy to make as it is scary! We love these on a mantle, window sill, or spread out across a dining table with some surrounding greenery. Make your own with our free printables and DIY instructions here.
Tip: these also make amazing party favors for guests at roughly no cost at all. Pick your poison wisely…

Small Spaces With Smaller Pumpkins
The mini pumpkin is my ultimate goto when looking for an inexpensive and easy way to add small accents of Halloween spirit throughout my home. Stack them in a large bowl or glass vase for your coffee table, or place them on top or next to vintage books on a bookshelf.
We love imagining all the spooky ways we could style these glass domes. With their small shape and multiple color options, it's easy to get creative and sprinkle mini pumpkins throughout your home or porch to add a fun pop of Fall color.

Eat at Your Own Risk
A perfectly decorated table is the final touch that will tie all of your halloween decor together. Want to celebrate All Hallow's Eve in the most chic, adult way possible? Look no further than this to-die-for black-on-black dinner party concept we did a couple years back for one of our Halloween parties. Even if you don't love Halloween, there's no denying the gorgeousness of this dark and moody scene. Each place setting was made up of a black dinner plate, black salad plate, a charcoal linen napkin, and mix and match flatware.

One centerpiece can truly make your table. Arrange dark flowers and greenery in vintage apothecary bottles and scatter them down the length of your table. Then, add thrifted black books to the mix, and weave more greenery through it all to create a garland.

To add an extra spooky touch, position wax-dipped roses at each place setting. We've got step-by-step instructions for this eerie yet easy DIY here.

For a lighter and more natural table scape, we love arranging pumpkins, greenery, and fall florals in long wooden dough bowls to create the ultimate fall centerpiece. This is one of my favorite autumn decorating staples, as it fares well through Thanksgiving.
image by liz marie
Since dough bowls can be fairly hard to come by, placing fall produce and foliage, like heirloom pumpkins, gourds, wheat, and eucalyptus, in a shallow wooden crate or wire basket will also create a similar look.

If your table is on the smaller side and doesn't allow for a large centerpiece with your place settings, position mini white pumpkins on top of a natural or macrame runner, and bring the table to life with pops of color in small floral arrangements. Shop more of our favorite table runners for this look here, here, and here.
To make it extra chic…Add strips of this copper tape down the sides of the pumpkins in between each groove. HomeyOhMy has step-by-step instructions for this easy and glam DIY here.

Happy fall, y'all!

Hi, I love the phases of the moon wall hanging that is on the wall. Did you make that or buy it somewhere? I love all these ideas and honestly have been doing some of these for awhile (since the kids moved out 🙂 Thanks for styling it all a little bit more new-ish for me!

I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't celebrate Halloween.

Although I am super busy, I wanted to do a birthday post. Today I turned 28. I went to work. My students knew it was my birthday, so I got many birthday wished throughout the day. After work I did a little shopping; it's nice that my birthday always falls on payday :). For dinner, I went out with my good friend Chloe to Mimi's Cafe. Thanks Chloe for the cute necklace! After dinner we went over to Target for a little more shopping.
Nathan got Michael Buble tickets for my birthday for a concert in December, and because Nathan worked today, we celebrated my birthday together on Tuesday. We went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, as that is the tradition. Usually we drive all the way to Marina Del Ray, but because it was a work night we decided on going to Sherman Oaks instead. We had the delicious Chicken Madeira and I ordered the all too decadent Reese's Cheesecake. It was good, but I little too good. It was SO rich, even I couldn't handle the sugar and I have a high tolerance
for sugar.
Look at these cute gifts my mom sent me. She made these cute little fabric flowers that can be clipped in my hair, onto a necklace or on my clothes. She also made that too cute Halloween pillow. I love it. I have like 2 Halloween decoration, so I love it. I told her she needs to sell these on Etsy. If I can do it, so can she!

The Opal tailored notes plan series 2 product has been designed by Opal Alternative Investments – which is part of the Tilney Group – and runs for six years and six months.
The product has a minimum investment of 10,000 or 5,000 through an Isa and it features a choice of two investment options.
The diversified growth option provides 100 per cent of any growth in the Opal Optimum diversified tailored notes fund.
This is a feeder fund which invests 50 per cent in the Opal optimum master hedge fund of funds and 50 per cent in the Opal UK premier manager fund of funds.
The optimum growth option provides 100 per cent growth linked solely to the Opal optimum master fund through the Opal optimum tailored notes feeder fund.
The underlying fund is a multi-strategy fund of hedge funds which has Tremont Capital Manage-ment as its investment adviser.
Initially, the feeder funds will be exposed to 100 per cent of the growth in the funds but this can be varied between 80 and 150 per cent to enhance returns where performance is good or to protect the capital when performance is bad.
Opal Alternative Investments investment director Frances Clayton says: "We have tried to combine the benefits of defined participation and constant proportion portfolio insurance. CPPI runs the risk of deleveraging down to levels of exposure that are too low.
"We decided to build a floor into the product so that it cannot go below 80 per cent of exposure but it can still provide 150 per cent exposure when things go well."

Guitarist talks about how he arranged 'Whole Lotta Love'
Jimmy Page has talked about how he arranged Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love', demos of which can be heard on the forthcoming remastered editions of the band's first three albums, released on June 2.
In an interview with Guitar World, available next week, Page said he wrote the song, the opener on 1969's 'Led Zeppelin II', by trying to imagine the full arrangement before entering the studio. He added he always envisioned the song's signature middle section would be "pretty avant garde", but was concerned he was going to have edit it down to make it more palatable.
"I detuned the guitar radically and just basically pulled on the strings to make an assortment of growling noises – evil sounds that you're not supposed to hear on commercial radio," he said, adding the experimental sounds and recording techniques were things no one had ever tried before the session in 1969.
"That's how forward thinking we were, that's how avant-garde it was, and that's how much fun we were having," he said. "That was the advantage of having artistic control. None of that might've happened if we had an outside producer. They might've questioned, or not understood, what I was doing, or thought I was just making a bunch of noise. I was able to make sure our ideas were carried out without interference."
'Led Zeppelin I', 'Led Zeppelin II' and 'Led Zeppelin III' have been digitally remastered by Page and will be released on June 2, each featuring various bonus tracks and various unheard takes. Page announced the reissues earlier this year. He also recently said he had been working on writing "lots of songs" of his own.

Did you know that your students can use Skype to connect with a range of fabulous organisations that can broaden the classroom experience for your class – like NASA, museums, and expedition groups?
Last week the team from 'Skype in the classroom' announced an expansion of their programme to six more supporting organisations NASA's Digital Learning Network™, The National Museum of the Royal Navy and HMS Victory, British Council, Woodland Trust, VerbalizeIt, Action Aid, Education through Expedition and Choose2Matter. They join Penguin Group, New York Philharmonic, Peace One Day, Save the Children, and the Science Museum, London who were already part of the Skype in the classroom programme.
As one example of how these organisations will participate in Skype in the classroom, NASA's Digital Learning Centre will feature various projects where students can learn how to prepare a space vehicle for liftoff, help scientists and engineers to explore the basic principles of matter and design their own spacesuit mission patch. Participating classrooms will also discover what it is like to live and work in space as well as being introduced to basic robotics.
Today Skype in the classroom has 38,899 teachers working together on 2,2226 global educational projects, and they are sharing 767 learning resources – and it's all free for teachers to join.

U.S. Air Force is warning that it may have to ground more than 100 A-10 Warthog ground attack aircraft as early as next year, even if Congress does decide to add billions to its budget for critical replacement wings. At the same time, the service, along with the U.S. Marine Corps and Navy, are considering halting upgrade work on possibly dozens of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, the Warthog's ostensible replacement, which would leave them unable to fight.Story here.
The two revelations came separately over the course of the Air Force Association's (AFA) 2017 Air, Space, and Cyber Conference, which began on Sept. 18, the Air Force's birthday, and ends on Sept. 20, 2017. The annual event offers senior leaders an opportunity to speak on the state of the service, their priorities, and their concerns.
Once again the USAF wins the award for interservice Blue Falcon excellence. JSTARS first and now the A-10? The ground forces of the United States of America better wrap their brains around the stunning reality. More than likely a peer threat WILL BE ABLE to deny air superiority and US forces will be bombed for the first time in decades and even if they don't the USAF and USMC fast jets just aren't interested in the mission!
Thank God for Navy Super Hornet drivers that seem to enjoy moving mud and of course the rotary guys that like getting dirty!
But back on task. I present to USAF leadership (to include their SecAF) the Blue Falcon Badge. Wear it with pride!

Secret Cutter are a band from Pennsylvania that has been featured before in this zine an plays a mixture of sludge, doom metal and grindcore and this is a review of their self released 2018 album "Quantum Eraser" which will be released in July.
Atmospheric drones start off the album before going into a heavier sludge metal direction along with some angry screams while the riffs also capture the heaviness of doom metal as well as all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and when the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard.
Elements of grindcore are added into the faster sections of the tracks and also makes the music sound more brutal while the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the music never using any guitar solos, leads as well as only adding in a small amount of melody at times and a couple of tsongs also adds in a brief use of clean playing.
Secret Cutter creates another recording that remains true to their mixture of sludge, doom metal and grindcore, the production sounds very dark and heavy while the lyrics cover dark and angry themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Secret Cutter and if you are a fan of sludge, doom metal and grindcore, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Trampled By Light" "Transient" "Doormat" and "Oblivion". 8 out of 10.

Usually the first concern about a certain college or university is the cost. Tuition is the amount of money that is required per number of credits just to attend that institution. Then there are fees (activity fee, athletic fee, technology fee just to name a few) associated with the use of facilities on that college campus. Now, in the state of Georgia, if your grade point average allows you to receive the HOPE scholarship, tuition and fees are covered for public colleges or universities. (Students attending private institutions receive a certain amount, but it will not cover full total.)
If education costs were just about tuition and fees, then students would have very little debt, and may not need student loans. Of course there are books to buy, which are not cheap. But the biggest issue comes with living expenses. Room and board account for more money than actual tuition at many schools. On-campus housing usually require usage of meal plans, which aren't cheap either.
Unless a student has grant or scholarship money, or money paid by or set aside by family, the student must find ways to pay for the expenses associated with the school he or she chose to attend. They resort to huge amounts of student loans they are eligible to receive just to maintain their living expenses. Add in utility bills (especially if living off-campus), groceries, and gas for the car and the need for money increases. Furthermore, depending on location, part-time jobs are scarce.
Consider this: staying at home and attending a local college saves money. Outside of tuition and fees, there is no room and board. If you have a part-time job, you can make and save money. You can even contribute to your parents without draining your finances or theirs. Instead of needing thousands of dollars to live, you can save any refund left from scholarships or grants, once tuition is paid.
I get that college is a moment of freedom from parents and the city where you were raised. I understand that for some, there are no local schools and going away to better your education is the only option. Even then, one should not ignore the high price tag that can set a person up for financial turmoil even after graduation.
I hope this helps you! More to come! Be blessed!

Following are 2 Gas Warning examples mailed to
The Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, commonly referred
to as Proposition 65, requires the Governor to publish a list
of chemicals "known to the State to cause cancer, birth
defects or reproductive harm " It also requires California
businesses to warn the public quarterly of potential exposures
to these chemicals which result from their operations.
Gas and Electric Company uses chemicals in its operations that
are "known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or reproductive harm."
For example,
PG&E uses fossil fuels (natural gas and petroleum products)
in its operations. The combustion of fossil fuels can generate
by-products such as carbon monoxide, soot, cnd formlaldhyde.
These chemicals are "known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm." Use
of natural gas in home or commercial appliances can also produce
these combustion by-products. Properly operating gas appliances
create less carbon monoxide and soot.
conducts sandblasting at power plants and compressor stations,
which can release sand. Sand naturally contains crystalline
silica, a chemical "known to the State of California to
cause cancer"
gas, in its original state, contains radon and benzene, chemicals
"known to the State of California to cause cancer."
It also contains toluene, a chemical "known to the State
of California to cause reproductive harm." The benzene
and toluene are destroyed when natural gas is burned. Radon
does not burn but is released with the combustion by-products.
Radon and natural gas combustion by-products can generally be
removed through appliance vents and other exhaust systems.
A warning
odorant is added to natural gas so that leaks of unburned gas
can be quickly detected. If gas odor is detected, PG&E should
be contacted promptly.
provides a free service to check and adjust your home gas appliances.
Please call your local PG&E office if you would like your
gas appliances checked.
For additional
information on this Proposition 65 warning, write to PG&E
at PO. Box 7640, San Francisco, CA 94120.
Safety Series
65 Warning
As a result
of Proposition 65, the State of California lists substances
known to cause cancer or reporoductive harm.
We want
you to be aware of the following so you can minimize possible
exposure to substances of the state's list related to natural
gas service.
and Work Sites
Some materials,
such as paint, gasoline, natural gas and tobacco smoke found
at or around our facilities, motor vehicles and work sites contains
subsatnces on the state's list, such as benzene. We handle all
materials carefully for our good health as well as yours. However,
exposure to substances on the state's list will occur at or
near these locations.
Gas Leaks
Small amounts
of substances on the state's list, such as benzene, are found
in natural gas. If gas is leaking, exposure to these substances
will occur. To minimize possible exposure leave the area of
the gas leak and call us immeadiately.
Gas Combustion
including burning natural gas, produces substances on the state's
list such as soot. To minimize exposure, operate gas equipment
according to manufacturers' instructions.
The Gas
Glad to
be of service
California Gas Company 9606-14 6/96
Did you catch the important public disclosure? The warnings
say chemicals such as Benzene, Toluene, Radon and Soot are dumped
directly into your home by the utility.
Did you
know gas utilities dump their hazardous waste inside your home?
Did anyone ask for your permission? Were you properly notified?
Were there any environmental impact studies performed at your
dump site, before, during and after? Have any occupant health
effect studies been performed?
Did you
know gas utilitys also dump PCBs inside your home along with
other hazardous waste? The reason you don't know, is because
they choose not to warn you that PCBs contaminate natural gas.
Are you
being paid a fair-market dumping fee? Do you have proper insurance
coverage to collect and store hazardous waste after incineration?
Do you have the proper hazardous waste incineration equipment
at your disposal site?
These gas
warnings published in California are the only public disclosure
that gas utilities knowningly dump chemical waste inside the
consumer's premises.
It must
be noted that various California gas utilities are allowed their
own interpretation about what constitutes adequate public warning.
No other state has such contaminated gas warning laws to protect
their citizens.
The exampled
gas warnings reproduced here are representative of the California
gas utility requirements under the State's Proposition 65 and
do not represent all of California Gas Utilitys. Other California
gas utility warnings may differ from these examples.
outside California don't even go this far in warning their consumers
or the public at large.

The Weekly List
last week was super productive for me! i not only got everything on my list checked off, but some other things, too!
i finally tried this recipe for baked zucchini fries. they were pretty good, but not as fantastic as i'd hoped. i think adding some spices to the breading would help. anyhow, it's just another way to get more veggies into my diet!
i cleaned out my cookbook cabinet and filled two sacks with books i don't want or need anymore, let a friend sort through to see if she wanted any, then donated the rest to Goodwill.
i also finished up enough string triangle blocks for a decent size kid's lap quilt, finished up the baby boy construction quilt i used to practice my FMQ, and assembled another baby rail fence quilt for more practice!
i couldn't start moving things to my new sewing cabinet, as M has been working on finishing it this week, and we've decided to put casters on the bottom.
goals for this week:
---> make backing and binding for string triangle quilt
---> practice FMQ on baby rail fence quilt
---> work on Modern Quilt Guild Madrona Road Challenge project (i.e. figure out what the heck i'm going to make!)
---> go through flatware drawer in kitchen
---> try new pulled pork recipe at M's request
what's on YOUR plate this week?

Come "tear it up" on 850 meters of sealed runway.
There will be prizes/giveaways and Flight demos along with the odd pulsejet or two !
PROBRO – is short for PROfile BROtherhood, and its as much about people as it is about model aircraft.
Typically Pro Bros fly Profile 3D models. These are purpose-built and designed models designed to do one thing, and do it without compromise. That "thing" is 3D aerobatics.

Overheard at BC Children's Hospital
"What are you hoping to get out of this position in regards to personal growth?"
Genevieve squints at me and re-crosses her legs.
"Um, well, I've always wanted to work in the charity sector, you know, like, give back?"
She doesn't move a muscle. Didn't they teach you about mirroring body language in your HR trainings? Are you capable of nodding or saying "Mm-hm" or something?
There are five seconds of agonizing silence. Are you waiting for me to say more? What more is there to say? I thought that this job was mine? What is happening?
"You aren't really a people person, are you Becky?" Genevieve pulls her Blackberry out of the pocket of her blazer and starts typing furiously.
"Am I supposed to answer that?"

All eyes will be on Russia as the World Cup kicks off on Thursday. The country has spent almost €9 billion on the event. Of the 12 stadiums, nine have been built from scratch. In the 11 host cities, newly refurbished airports and hundreds of kilometres of roads will present visitors with a modern and welcoming Russia. But amid cost overruns and construction work falling behind schedule, preparations for the World Cup have already gone into extra time. Our correspondents report.

FOOTBALL: Long Bennington under-18s triumph in last match at pitch opening ceremony
Long Bennington under-18s completed 12 years of competitive football together as they played their last match at the opening ceremony of Long Bennington's new £65,000 football pitch last Sunday.
They are unique as the only local team to have achieved this accolade and due to changes in FA League formats, this can no longer be achieved.
Bennington have won league titles and have been cup winners in the individual Newark, Grantham and Mid Lincs Leagues over the last 12 years.
They rounded off their final season in style as they beat a resolute Aslockton side 5-2. James Longden opened the scoring with his 300th league and cup goal for the club. Matt Eyre grabbed a brace, with Jonnie Blanchard and Sam Evans completing the scoring.
The day began with a ribbon cutting to officially open the new ground which was funded by a £50,000 grant from Sport England. There was also a presentation to the club of its new Charter Standard Community Award.
The 11-a-side pitch was completely renovated through the Sport England grant, with new drainage installed, and pitches to accommodate five-, seven- and nine-a-side football were created
The club's Steve Rowley said: "The principal beneficiary of these improvements, the players, parents and coaches of Long Bennington Football Club, are extremely grateful to the many people who have put in their time and efforts."
Sport England chairman Nick Bitel said clubs needed to offer quality facilities to attract and retain participants: "The improvements to the Long Bennington QE2 playing fields will be welcomed by regular users and those who are new to football."
Long Bennington under-18s are from left, back – Matt Eyre, Luke Bond, Mike Hurrell, Dan Hibbert, Alex Hibbert, Sam Knight, Sam Smart, George Blanchard and Ellis Rhule; front – Aidan Monaghan, Alex Wharmby, Tom Wharmby, James Longden, Jack Day, Sam Evans and Charlie Richardson.

With liberty and freedom come responsibilities. It is not right, and possibly immoral, for those who enjoy the freedoms and liberties of this nation, to assume that it is the responsibility of others to defend our Constitution and our country against all enemies. While it is proper that those serving our country in the military and through other means be justly compensated, it is also the duty of all those who desire to live in this country as a fully vested citizen to also accept the responsibility to defend those rights, privileges, freedoms and liberty. Thus we call upon every individual citizen to do his part within his moral conscience to protect, defend, and uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
The Constitution Party of Ohio is concerned regarding the use of troops via the draft, or forced conscription, even in the service of the United States with respect to defending our nation against our enemies, foreign and domestic. It is particularly anathema for the draft to be used to force young men to be engaged in unconstitutional wars and police actions, those conducted without a proper Congressional declaration of war, or at the whim or other decision and/or direction of the President or other military authority.

Over the years, we have been fortunate to have had many of the UK's leading amateur and professional Ballroom & Latin American Dancers give demonstrations at our annual Spring, Summer and Autumn dance evenings. Below, are just some of the dancers we have been privileged to watch.
At the time of our Autumn Dance, Luke and Hanna were 15 and 14 yrs old respectively. They have been dancing together for 4 years and in that time have won every title possible, being crowned British, European and World champions in the under 16s age group.
They have also appeared on TV shows including Strictly Come Dancing, Britains Got Talent, and more recently, a series called "Born To Shine", a series where Luke and Hanna tutored celebrities to Ballroom Dance. The show helped raise money for Save The Children.
Dancing has also offered them the opportunity to travel worldwide to competitions to places such as Los Angeles, Paris,Switzerland, Holland and many more. They just simply love what the do and enjoy sharing their joy of dance with everyone that watches them.
David and Vicky have been dancing together since December 2010 and are well on their way to dominating the Ballroom and Latin American world.
At their first British closed national Championships, they made the semi final in 2011 and hope to make the final in this years event of 2012. Again last year in the UK closed Ten dance championships of July 2011, they made the final in Bournemouth.
And they also made the top 100 in the British Open championships in Blackpool 2011 in the Latin American section.
They like to base their dancing and style around whatever they hear in the music that is being played. They dance for the audience, so with your support, they will, hopefully, one day, make it to the top in the world.
Steven & Amy formed their partnership in March 2012 and at the time of their exhibition Steven was just 15, and Amy was 13.
Both of them have danced from a very young age and have competed all over the UK, and at some International competitions including Moscow and Paris. Steven is from Hertforshire and Amy is from Kent and both get together as much as they can to train hard. They are coached by ex-champions and professionals in London and Reading.
During their relatively short time together Steven and Amy have climbed their way up to the top of the DPA Junior National League. At the time of their exhibition they were placed 1st in Junior Latin. In July 2012 they travelled to Wales and became Welsh National Champions. They will be competing at the British National Championships at Blackpool in November where, against tough competition, they hope to make the finals. In December they will travel to France to compete in the WDC World Open Championships in Disneyland Paris.
Despite their young ages Steven and Amy are no strangers to showing their off dancing skills to an audience. In May 2012 they performed in front of a very large audience at the London Hiton on Park Lane that included several celebrities, and some ex-Strictly Come Dancing personalities. They always find it an honour to be asked to perform at events and look forward to getting to know their audiences after their demonstration to discuss their passion to dance.
We have been members now for more than nine years and in that time we have made many firm friendships and lost a few good pals along the way.
We started with almost no dancing ability and have now got a fair knowledge of Ballroom and Latin American Dancing, mainly due to the kind perseverance of our Dance Instructors.
The social evenings are always a success and looked forward to by all the members. It would be a great loss to us if we could not look forward to our weekly meetings at the Club.

The Legends organization is unwavering in its community efforts. No matter what happens on the basketball side of things, you can count on a local presence from the Legends.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Legends coach Bob MacKinnon is leading an effort to raise money and awareness for the "Real Men Wear Pink" campaign of Collin County.
"The American Cancer Society contacted our office and asked if we wanted to be involved and we immediately said yes," MacKinnon said. "The Legends are all about being a part of the community and this was a great way to help, to hopefully defeat a disease that has affected so many of us."
13 different men in Collin County are raising money for the American Cancer Society this month. MacKinnon is no stranger to the disease and did not hesitate to get involved.
"Cancer has affected so many people in this country, breast cancer specifically has touched some people in my life, so it was automatic."
During the month of October, you can visit the American Cancer Society website (here), click on the recognizable face of MacKinnon and donate. Each of the 13 organizers are aiming for $2,500 for the month and $30,000 total.
As of Sunday, October 21, Coach Mac is just shy of $1,500 and the group effort is a little over $5,000 away from their monthly goal.
At the Legends G League Draft watch party Saturday, the entire coaching staff wore pink shirts to support their head coach's goal. Team events throughout the month, public and private, will contain more pink.
"We're actually going to wear it at every practice at training camp through October. Anything to raise awareness.
"This is just one little thing that we can do to, hopefully people notice and ask why we're in pink. Not only raising funds, but raising awareness and what people can do with early detection. It's very key to get early detection in any cancer, and obviously with breast cancer, and we'd like to make sure people are aware of the steps they can take."

Weber Authors Legislation and Co-Authors Letter in Response to Energy Crisis in San Diego Schools
Weber Authors Legislation and Co-Authors Letter in Response to Energy Crisis in San Diego Schools
Page Content
Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego) has introduced legislation, AB 2120, that would allow county offices of education and community college districts to receive intervener compensation when participating in a proceeding before the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
Currently when participating in negotiations with the CPUC, entities representing consumers or subscribers of any electrical, gas, telephone, or water corporation, also known as interveners, may be compensated for reasonable fees and costs of participation in a proceeding. However, school districts are not eligible to receive intervener compensation related to CPUC proceedings.
"Despite making investments in renewable and energy efficiency measures to lower energy usage, school districts throughout San Diego County suffered significant energy rate increases totaling over $30 million over the last year," Weber said. "These schools need to keep the lights on without taking money out of the classroom, so they need to participate in rate proceedings at the CPUC. We also need to make sure that this participation – which can be extremely expensive – doesn't set them even further back."
"Our students and schools must not unduly pay the price of high energy costs," stated Senator Hueso. "During the 2014-15 school year, San Diego schools saw their electric bills go up an average of 39%. This has consumed funding meant to educate our students, not pay excessively high electric bills. I look forward to a productive hearing and hope that the utilities honor their commitment to work with schools to bring the costs down."
"San Diego County public schools could have instead used that $30 million to hire 600 new teachers, buy 120,000 netbooks for students, or fill school libraries and classrooms with 1.5 million new books," said County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Randy Ward. "Our schools – and our students – can't afford to cannibalize instructional budgets to cover operational costs."
Having the ability to receive compensation for the work that it takes to compile testimony, commission studies, coordinate the travel and time for advocates and witnesses, and other resources for a proceeding, makes participation much more realistic for a representative of a school. By allowing county offices of education to recoup costs through intervener compensation, monies can then be better used to fund vital programs.
"Public K-12 schools are limited by the budget given to them by the state. We need to make it as feasible as possible for schools to participate in these proceedings," explained Assemblymember Weber.
Weber also co-authored a letter with several other Democratic members of the San Diego delegation, including Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, Senator Ben Hueso and Assemblymember Lorena Gonzales. The correspondence expresses their concern about skyrocketing energy costs in San Diego region schools, and encourages San Diego Gas and Electric to make good on public commitments to work to mitigate the jump in energy rates experienced by local school districts.
Weber said local educational districts are severely limited in their ability to absorb the rising energy costs.
"In short, the schools have the money we give them," Weber said. "They can't levy a tax, so the money spent on these huge energy bills will likely come from the classroom. Though the conversations being had are encouraging, it is important to make sure that an agreement is reached that works for San Diego schools."

Don't remember anything: Driver
It seemed like just another day when Santosh Maruti Mane, a driver with the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, left for work to the Swargate bus terminus on Wednesday.india Updated: Jan 25, 2012 23:41 IST
It seemed like just another day when Santosh Maruti Mane, a driver with the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, left for work to the Swargate bus terminus on Wednesday.
At 8am, he reached Swargate and seemed to be in a normal mood. But he left the entire city shocked when he went on a rampage, mowing down eight people and injuring 27 others.
In his statement to the police after his arrest, Mane said he did not remember anything.
"I don't remember anything that I have done. I also do not know when I actually picked up the bus key and stepped out of office," he said.
The 39-year-old bus driver had joined the state transport corporation in 1999 after procuring a heavy motor vehicle driving license. In August 2009, he was transferred to the Swargate depot in central Pune.
Dr Dilip Burate, who treated Mane around two years ago, said: "Mane had come to me complaining of irrational behavior and mood swings. For almost a month, I treated him as a possible schizophrenia patient, but later he stopped coming to me."
Mane's family members said he would often complain of work stress. "Two years ago he had offered to resign citing stress from driving for long hours," said Mane's elder brother Janat.
The police, however, said Mane had no tendencies to suggest he was "mentally unstable".
"He was in service since 1999. He drove bus for years. How can he be termed as mentally unstable?" Pune police commissioner Meeran Borawankar asked.
MSRTC regional manager Rajendra Patil said Mane has no past record of any accident.

Islam and you
So here goes (sung to a calypso beat):
Osama bin Laden
And the Taliban
Want you all to accept Islam
If you don't then you'll be dead
They'll blow you up or cut off your head!
President Bush and Tony Blair
They really are such a funny pair
Since 9/11 they go on the air
Telling us all not to despair
All the ladies here they feel so free
But, under the Caliphate you'll agree
That they should all be forced to wear
The veil or burka covering their hair
If you feel a little sad
Then you should go on the Hajj
Mecca will really set you right
And you'll be praying day and night
The camel is a handy beast
You can ride it in the east
But don't let it run away
When you have to pray five times a day
So prostrate yourself before Allah
And don't be such a clever fellah
Do whatever Mohammed preached
Or there'll be terrorists within your reach
The crusaders once tried to make
The Middle East into a Christian lake
But now we'll all live to see
A mosque in Washington DC
Muslim and Christian mutual hate
Will be resolved in the Caliphate
But on one thing don't be confused
That they still both hate the Jews
Osama bin Laden
And the Taliban
Want you all to accept Islam
If you don't then you'll be dead
They'll blow you up or cut off your head!
Note to Osama: I won't reveal the author's name even under torture, so don't bother. Also, as we speak the IDF is putting a security fence around my house.
Happy New Year!

Construction / tuning:
After opening the box a set of parts, a bag with small items and the
instruction manual came out. The securing of the items in the box was
missing in my case, but only minor
dents in the surface were seen.
First you need to cut away the production
grades left ... that is a tedious work and
takes a bit of time.
After cutting I actually smoothed the
surface with a 240 sanding paper.
In addition I decided to build this plane
with a rudder to give it full capability for
all aerobatic figures.
The rudder was cut out - sanded in 45
degree angle where it is fixed on the fin
and then taped to the fin.
Next elevators and ailerons were cut
free - after cutting with a balsa knife I
sanded the parts in order to ensure
proper functionality.
The fixing of the hidden aileron
connection took really some
time as you need to bend some steel
rods, connect them with heat shrinking
tube and then insert them.
I deviated a bit from the building plan
in order to ease this procedure. Never-
the-less just the ailerons took me over
one hour to fix and install.
in addition it turned out that the foreseen
foam hinges are breaking up so I had to
tape over to enforce this area.
The servos and the other RC components were installed next. - that
took the longest as everything is rather small and needed careful fixing.
The receiver in the tail, then the rudder and elevator servos. The aileron
servo just before the spar.
After screwing the motor to a 3 mm balsa fire wall (secured with
additional drops of CA glue) the motor needed additional foam carving
before it spun freely. Actually I could not hide it entirely under the lower
hood as you may see on the following pictures.
Just behind the firewall and the motor
the BEC found its place - fixed to the
wall by double tape. Next to it the
Lipo will be inserted.
Now it was time
to glue the back
top part of the
fuselage in place.
This was a very Now came an extra that I
tight fit - see for felt I would like to do during
yourself: the construction - a steerable
tail wheel....inserted and
connected to the rudder:
For the beginning I will leave away the
aerodynamic wheel covers as our
runway certainly would not allow them.
At the end the decals were applied in
a tedious 1 hour work!

Flight Experience:
Actually after the first flights - on a Sunday late afternoon - I retired this little good looking
plane! Great looks, but very nervous flight pattern. After several micro planes I was a bit
disappointed by this one. Even with dual rate, Expo, etc. it was difficult to have fun at
flying. Now the plane rests - suspended from the ceiling - in my workshop!
Update - October 2011:
Plane retired after only one afternoon flying!

Crystal Therapy
Bach Flower Healing
Fresh Flower Healing
De-Stress Program
Space Clearing
Subtle energy therapy is a very effective method of cleansing the auric field, releasing suppressed traumas, old patterns, emotional and mental blockages, stress and tensions.
Some of the benefits are deep relaxation, restoring peace, harmony and well-being on a higher level.
When we understand why we have attracted our personal circumstances and life lessons, we can then take complete responsibility for ourselves and create our lives in the way we choose. It is then no longer necessary to play the role of a victim.
The power to change, heal, and to understand the hidden lessons in life, the ability to forgive and love one's self, to let go of things which do not serve anymore and make conscious decisions and above all to exercise compassion can lead to more happiness and fulfilment and can certainly improve the quality of life.
During a healing session certain tools will be used e.g. crystals, Bach Flower remedies, fresh flowers and sound according to the needs of the person. A healing can be very nurturing, uplifting, grounding, you may have a feeling of protection or you may experience focus and more clarity. More information about different therapies please visit the webpages Crystal Therapy, Bach Flower Healing, Fresh Flower Healing, De-Stress Program.
Crystals enhance the overall energy healing experience by radiating unique vibrational signatures resonating to and with specific energy frequencies. Each
vibrational frequency or energy signature assists in releasing blockages, negative energy, promoting healing from within re-aligning body, mind, emotions and soul.
Because of particular properties and inner sacred geometry of crystals, they can absorb, reflect, transform, transmute, balance, direct, amplify, soften, clear, shape and focus energies.
During a crystal healing session you will experience a deep relaxation, a sense of inner peace and healing on a higher level.
Bach Flower healing is a natural method of healing through the use of certain wild flowers. The remedies which treat the personality disorders of a person
were discovered in the 1930s by Dr Edward Bach, Harley Street, London.
Each specific remedy can help overcome certain negative conditions.
During a Bach Flower healing session the focus will be more on working with the energies of the remedies rather than the physical intake of drops.
The remedies can relate to the chakra system. Some relate stronger to specific chakras then others. They can help clear blockages that are situated in the chakras or elsewhere in the subtle energy field.
The remedies can be used in combination with crystals, fresh flowers and sound depending on the need of the person.
During this type of healing fresh flowers and plants will be used in the auric field, chakras and gridlines. The energy of flowers is very potent. Plants are used more for grounding and the flowers are very healing especially for the emotional and mental bodies. They also can be used for clearing, uplifting, balancing and enhancing the overall health and well-being of the person.
Flower healings work very well in combination with crystals.
Most stress originates in the mind followed by an emotional reaction. Some symptoms of stress are a feeling of tenseness or tightness in the body e.g. shoulders, neck, head, back and jaw (grinding of teeth). Usually when stress builds up, physical symptoms appear and if not addressed it can result in irritation, anger, nervousness, anxiousness, panic attacks and sleep disturbances.
There are certain healing techniques that can help address and release stress. A full stress healing program consists of four sessions in combination with crystal and / or energy healing. This program includes self-help techniques.
Dense energy is a form of energy that vibrates on lower frequencies. It can be attached or imprinted into walls, furniture, objects etc. It can influence and affect the health and well-being of the people who live in a place that is not cleared.
During a space clearing session dense energy will be cleared from rooms, apartments or houses and your home will then vibrate on a higher level. Tips and tools will be given so that the energy in
a home can be maintained.
Please book an appointment using the contact form. During a consultation over the telephone or skype your requirements and needs will be discussed. You can either request a healing session immediately afterwards or at a different agreed time.
Usually, a session will last about an hour. When a personal condition has many layers or is severe, it may be necessary to have several sessions in order to integrate the healing and the changes over a period of time.

Mulligans Flat and the Turtle Patrol
The Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve (Fig. 1), integrated into the greater Mulligans Flat – Goorooyarroo area can be found on the northern outskirts of Canberra. This area represents a critically endangered ecosystem of grassy box-gum woodland that was seriously degraded after 150 years of grazing practices. The Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve covers an area of 765ha with around 60% enclosed by a predator-proof fence (Shorthouse, et al., 2012).
It is clear that many significant benefits have been achieved from the installation of the fence, but does present some drawbacks. I am referring to the native residents that are restricted by this boundary line, potentially putting some vulnerable creatures at risk. The known impacts mostly including disrupting movements of reptiles and mammals of which, the eastern long-necked turtle (Chelodina longicollis) is of main concern. Impacts upon the turtles include disruptions to migratory patterns as well as increased mortality rates from exposure, entanglement and predation (Ferronato, et al,. 2014).
The issue that arises from a park managers perspective is that the fence itself is quite costly to maintain, hence continuously managing these turtle populations becomes quite time consuming. It is for this reason that Mulligans Flat relies heavily upon the enthusiastic involvement of community volunteers to help and protect the local turtle populations.
Recent studies in the area have shown the scale of this issue for the reserve. More than half of all reptiles caught on the fence tend to be the eastern long-necked turtle.What was worse is that an astonishing 9 out of 10 turtle deaths in and around the park were fence related (Ferronato, et al,. 2014).The most common causes for statistics was due to over-heating, followed by fox predation, vehicular collisions and entanglement. Being able to help prevent these turtle deaths is the reason that I, and so many other volunteers chose to join the Mulligans Flat Turtle Patrol.
The Work Itself (13/9 – 12/10)
This volunteer work included a combination of turtle relocations and data logging. The majority of the time consisted of numerous walks up and down the southern perimeter of Mulligans Flat.The track itself can be seen in Fig. 2 which corresponds to the sightings that were recorded along the way (Fig. 3).
During the patrol, if a turtle was encountered, the first stage was to document its location through GPS coordinates to the Canberra Nature Map project. The details of individual turtle locations are used to help rangers and managers at Mulligans Flat to not only understand dynamics and populations of turtle movements, but also find hotspots to be targeted in future years. After photographed and tagged, each individual was carefully relocated 10m beyond the other side of the fence. Transportation of each turtle was carried out by placing it into a hessian bag and then carrying it by hand or in a bucket to the opposing side of the fence. This sometimes entailed large walking distances as entry gates could be anywhere up to 400m away.
This form of volunteer work is very popular and due to the large numbers of volunteers conducting this work, it was crucial to not move any turtle twice by accident. To ensure that a turtle wasn't placed on the side that it was originally found, only turtles located directly on the fence were moved. Turtles away from the fence may have already been moved by previous patrols and therefore were not disturbed. While there were so many successful relocations, the nature of this work meant that unfortunately some fatalities did occur. It was the responsibility of volunteers to record each of these deaths, including its location. Each dead turtle was marked with a fluorescent paint to ensure that it was not recorded multiple times. Sightings of both dead and living turtles aims to assist managers at Mulligans Flat to identify trends of movements as well as associated potential causes of death.
As this was such a successful year for turtle rescues analysis of last years volunteer data was conducted as a comparison. It suggested that the southern section of the fence had the highest abundance of turtles relocated in 2015. So far, during the 2016-2017 period, 84 successful relocations have been made with many more still being logged every day. However, for reasons unknown, this year produced a far greater number of turtle relocations on the northern side. This knowledge has allowed for detailed 'high traffic' points to be located and shows how trends change between years.
The product of all this work was many successfully saved turtles and a map of wildlife sightings. As can be seen in Fig. 3, the southern fence track is shown with a variety of different symbols each representing a sighting. Alongside the turtle sightings many other animals were witnessed, each adding to the Canberra Nature Maps database. These included Shingleback lizards (Tiliqua rugosa), Bearded Dragons (Pogona barbata), Short-beaked Echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) and even a Yellow Admiral Butterfly (Vanessa itea). All of my current and future sightings can all be found on my Canberra Nature Map profile as listed below.
The volunteering work at Mulligans Flat has a strong community base network aimed towards public involvement in the monitoring and development of the sanctuary. Without the enthusiastic support of the public for projects such as the Turtle Patrol, many aspect of the reserve would simply not be able to work as efficiently. This work has been an eye-opener, showing how easily rewarding it is knowing that a few turtle fatalities have been prevented due to the turtle watch. I will certainly be continuing on with my support at the reserve and strongly recommend others to be a part of this great experience.

Yay and stuff…
September 28, 2011
Things are still going well. I am feeling better as far as might clothes go. They had been getting tight and now they are starting to loosen once again. I am both sad and glad I am not quantifying my weight so I know how well it is working. I still think mentally it is for the best.
As far as food yesterday I was on diet, I ate beans, veggies and chicken 4 times. The final one was at Chipotle which was great. My wife and I went out to eat and Chipotle is uniquely able to provide food for my diet and is mostly organic and antibiotic free. I really like it. I am limiting my guacamole intake since I want to make sure that I feel full but maximize the more fibrous, less fatty foods I am allowed. Guacamole and salsa are being used sparingly. I am still having artificially sweetened tea, coffee and crystal light. I have been able to cut out all of my coke zero still though. Baby steps right? Move forward, onward and downward and all of that.
So far today I did 45 minutes on the precor elliptical machine and then did 30 minutes of core and weight training with my trainer. So that is day 3 of working out everyday doing at least cardio daily. Things are still going well in that respect. I have had some tension headaches for the last two days and it is making working out tough, but if it were easy everyone would be in there right?
Anyway, still doing well and looking forward to my Sunday weigh in. Next week I am going on a trip to Pennsylvania for a friends birthday so next week will be a challenge. Only around 8 weeks till resort time though so I have to be on plan and get my work done so that I can get my work done at the resort.

Christian Meditation 7: A Community of Love and Service
Christian Meditation 6: Mercy Reveals a Compassionate Heart
We are all tempted to be selfish, but we forget that the best possible gift we can give ourselves is to love, serve and show mercy to others. God repays this a hundredfold. Ask yourself, what kind of heart have I? Am I truly loving, compassionate and merciful? What more could I do to improve? To Love? Be merciful?
Christian Meditation 5: A Passion for Justice
Here we focus on those who stand up for justice, even at great personal cost. Such heroes deserve our admiration, gratitude and imitation. Ask yourself – am I afraid to speak up for my values? Could I be better in the future? Am I just? Honest? True in all I do? Have you a passion to see justice done?
Christian Meditation 4: Your Christian call to Humility
Humility, a beautiful virtue, is simply to recognise, with deep gratitude, that all we have, and all that we do, and all that we are comes from our creator, the God of love. As Jesus himself tells us "Without me, you can do nothing." Are you truly humble in your dealings with God, and with other people? No arrogance?
Christian Meditation 3: Discover Your Special Vocation
Christian Meditation 2: Discover God's Purpose for your Life
Christian Meditation 1: God's Purpose for your life
How to use these Christian Meditations
Meditation is really quite simple. You just open your heart and mind in prayer, and come closer to God and His purpose for your life. A time of quiet thought and mindful reflection. I am convinced that this little dedication of your time and energy will help you to keep better focussed on your true purpose in life, and find happiness in making a difference. Why not make this ancient form of prayer an essential part of your everyday life?

Sixty farm and food groups and others are urging Congress to block a proposed move of Department of Agriculture agencies out of the Washington, D.C. area. The group penned a letter to leaders of the House and Senate agricultural appropriations subcommittees requesting they protect the Economic Research Service and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
Announced by the American Statistical Association this week, the coalition requested that agriculture appropriators "specify that no funding be used for relocation or realignment of ERS and that no funding be used for the NIFA relocation beyond that already provided for its relocation within the National Capital Region."
The letter states the fundamental concern is that the proposed relocation and realignment will undermine the quality and breadth of the work the agencies support and perform, "Work that is vital to informing and supporting U.S. agriculture, food and rural economies."

Citizens of Ardesca!
Seven times has the Sun turned on the Monarchs of Ardesca. Life, Death and Rebirth are the Markers of the Phoenix Throne.
In this 8th turning of the Sol, I came from the Lands of the North and claimed my right as Leader of this regal Kingdom. The Gods saw fit to test my resolve by sending the Honorable Roman leader Ceret with her Bold Warlord Fenris Kriegsang to lead the troops against us.
The day was mighty. Many acts of bravery and honor were witnessed. Off the field of war, fingers wove deft arts to claim Winds of War in support of their chosen leaders.
In the end, My army was triumphant. The doors of the Castle burst inward to free the mighty Lasiurus Cinereus. In celebration, the Dread Hersir poured countless beverages to slake the mighty thirst of a Kingdom. Dinosaurs ran rampant on the Eric, and Musicians Sounded their siren calls to dancers for delectable entertainment.
We are indebted to those who supported us both on the field and off, and We are greatly thankful for the opportunities ahead of us. Finally, we are beholden to those oaths given and received that fine day.
We will be traveling the lands to meet with Lords, Citizens and friends alike. Where I look forward to working with them to learn the desires and goals of our Kingdom's Great Citizens. And help Ardesca continue to grow and stregnthen under the flames of the Pheonix.
Be well, Act with Honor, and Celebrate the Fires of the Phoenix.
So say I, Silver Phoenix of Ardesca,
Your Queen, Aloya Menher

Jaipur, the Pink City, has been the capital of erstwhile Jaipur state since its inception in 1727 AD, It was founded by Sawai Jai Singh II, a great ruler as well as renowned mathematician and astrologer. Vidhyadhar Bhattacharya, designed Jaipur as per the Hindu treatise, Shilp Shastra. In 1876 Jaipur dressed itself in pink to welcome Prince Albert, consort of queen Victoria, and earned the epitaph Pink City'. The excellent handicrafts of Jaipur are exquisite gold jewellery enameled or inlaid with precious stones, blue pottery, carving on wood, stone & ivory, block print & tie & dye textiles, handmade paper etc.
After independence, Jaipur became the administrative and commercial capital of what was known as Rajputana, a suitable conclusion to the dreams of its founder Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, a man famed for his talents as a politician, mathematician, and astronomer. At age 13 he ascended the throne of the Kachchwaha Rajputs, a clan that had enjoyed tremendous prosperity and power as a result of their canny alliance, dating back to Humayun's reign, with the Mughal emperors. It was in fact the emperor Aurangzeb, a fanatically pious Muslim, who -- despite the fact that Jai Singh was a Hindu prince -- named him Sawai, meaning "one and a quarter," for his larger-than-life intellect and wit. Having proved his prowess as a military tactician for Aurangzeb, growing the emperor's royal coffers substantially, Jai Singh felt it safe to move his capital from the claustrophobic hills surrounding Amber to a dry lake in the valley below.
Places to see
Festivals in Jaipur
Jaipur offers one-of-a-kind shopping experience with its rich treasure of bewitching jewellery, beautiful gems, semi precious stones, Kundan and Minakari work (enamel work on gold). Beautiful cotton fabrics including Sanganeri prints, tie-and-die and fine kaoa 'Doria' saris are the best buys for women. The exotic blue pottery, enamel ware and brass ware, make excellent souvenirs and gift items. The city is also famous for woollen carpets and cotton rugs.

Lost and Found
The Junior Infant children were really happy to have so many parents and family members helping out with the One Book One Community Junior Project. On the first day the class teacher read our special book Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers. Afterwards the adults played fun games with the children. On the second day even more family members came to help with art activities. Great fun was had by all. The artwork will be displayed in Blackpool Library during April for the Life-long Learning Festival.

Fish & Richardson principal Juanita Brooks, based in our Southern California office, has been named one of California's Top 100 Attorneys by the Daily Journal, a statewide legal industry publication.
Every year the publication's editors look at the work of hundreds of California Lawyers who are nominated by their peers, their employers and even their clients. According to the Daily Journal, "The point is to honor the attorneys whose work is having the widest impact…. We seek to honor work that is changing an industry or the law or the society as a whole."
Juanita has received the Top 100 honor multiple times.
This year, Juanita's major win in July 2013 for Fresenius Medical Care Holdings Inc. was profiled by the Daily Journal. In that case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that federal trial and appellate courts are required by statute to dismiss pending patent cases if the USPTO has canceled the asserted claims through reexamination.
Congratulations, Juanita!
