Jack Crawford Poems
Life Sketch of the Author
Captain John W. Crawford the writer of the following pages, has been an eventful and chequered career. He was born of mixed Irish and Scotch parentage in the County Donegal Ireland, his mother being a lineal descendant of Sir William Wallace: but some political troubles, in which his father got involved soon afterwards broke up the family home, leaving the hero of this sketch compelled to provide for himself almost from infancy. His father, who was a tailor by trade, found means of escaping to New York, from whence he proceeded to Pennsylvania, and seeing a business opening at Minersville in that State, soon established himself in a lucrative position. Here his unfortunate taste for strong drink got the better of his manhood, and it was four years before the suffering, striving family at home heard of his whereabouts. At length he wrote, asking his wife to join him, and by the assistance of friends she soon did so. A temporary reformation on the part of the one, and a year of hard and saving labour by the other, enabled them to get enough money together to send for their children.
The lust of liquor, however, in the elder Crawford was too strong to be repressed, and the new home was a most unhappy one for the wife and children. It was this experience of the terrible effects of intemperance that inspired Jack Crawford with the determination never, under any circumstances to expose himself to the clutch of the Demon, and to war against the Monster with all his might and strength as long as God would give him breath.
The following incident, which took place during Custer's campaign on the Yellowstone shows how fixedly he kept to his resolution:
It was at the close of a hard day's March and the command had toiled through long miles of rough country, in the midst of a rain storm such as is known only in the Rocky Mountains. The officers were seated around the camp-fire trying to extract some warmth from the smouldering buffalo chips, when one of them produced from his saddle-bag a Canteen of whisky, and taking a long draught, with the remark, "Thank you Captain but I never drink"
When his mother was on her deathbed, holding out her thin white hand asked me to promise in the presence of my brothers and sisters and the invisible presence of God, that my lips should never touch the destroyer – and I have kept it, etc. etc.
He was one of the pioneers of the Black Hills, chief of their scouts, and one of the founders of Custer City, Deadwood, Crook, Gayville and Spearfish. During the Indian campaign of 1876, Capt. Jack was second in Command of General Crooks Scouts, and superseded Buffalo Bill as chief, on the 24th of Aug. of the same year.
Much of his poetry is after the style of Bret Harte, but there is not an unreal character in any one of his poems. Every verse in these pages contains descriptions of real incidents in the life of the author or some of his comrades; hence, as he says himself, his verses are more truthful than poetic. Jack has never allowed his name to be used in connection with dime novel literature. "If " said he, "I cannot make a reputation upon my own merits, I shall never endeavour to do so through false representations. I am simply Jack Crawford, boy soldier, rustic poet, scout, bad actor, etc.

Each of us has physical, mental, and emotional limitations and weaknesses. These challenges, some of which seem so intractable now, will eventually be resolved. None of these problems will plague us after we are resurrected. [Our daughter] researched survival rates for persons with the type of cancer she had, and the numbers were not encouraging. She wrote: But there is a cure, so Im not scared. Jesus has already cured my cancer, and yours. ... I will be better. Im glad I know this. - Paul V. Johnson, And There Shall Be No More Death, Ensign (CR) May 2016
We can replace the word cancer with any of the other physical, mental, or emotional ailments we may face. Because of the Resurrection, they have already been cured too. The miracle of resurrection, the ultimate cure, is beyond the power of modern medicine. But it is not beyond the power of God. We know it can be done because the Savior is resurrected and will bring to pass the Resurrection of each of us too. Paul V. Johnson, And There Shall Be No More Death, Ensign (CR) May 2016

The Man Who Ruled in Vodafone's Favor
By Shefali Anand and Diksha Sahni
From humble beginnings, the Supreme Court of India's Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia has now become the center of attention.
On Friday, a three-judge bench headed by Justice Kapadia ended a years-long legal battle over the taxation of a deal between Vodafone Group PLC and mobile operator Hutchison Essar Ltd. that gave Vodafone its assets in India. Justice Kapadia ruled against India's tax authorities and said Vodafone isn't liable for taxes on the deal, which it struck in 2007.
Justice Kapadia is well known for his knowledge of tax laws.
During his tenure as a judge on the Supreme Court and previously on the Bombay High Court, Justice Kapadia worked on several cases related to finance and taxation. Since he took over as Chief Justice in May 2010, he has laid down legal principles for taxation via some of his rulings. Some advocates and analysts often refer to him as a tax lawyer.
"Overall, the sense among the bar is that he's kind of a no-nonsense, more efficient judge who cares about the technical" aspects of a case, says Nick Robinson, a visiting fellow at the Center for Policy Research, a think tank. "He is someone who understands how the law affects businesses."
Friday's judgment is a case in point. Many lawyers had argued that what the Indian tax authorities were trying to do – tax the sale of an asset between two non-Indian entities -- ran counter to international taxation practices. And they warned that a decision against Vodafone not only would impose billions in tax and penalties on the company but would send a very negative signal to other foreign companies looking to invest in India through the purchase of assets. Instead, the ruling is likely to provide some reassurance to foreigners about India's tax regime and could help to improve the image of the country as an investment destination.
"The impact of this ruling will go down the annals of history as the single biggest judgment regarding taxation practices," says Neeru Ahuja, partner at tax consulting firm Deloitte Haskins & Sells.
The Vodafone judgment is among the most high-profile of Justice Kapadia's tenure.
He took over as the chief justice at a time when the Supreme Court's clout was seen to be ebbing, say analysts. But Justice Kapadia, widely known for his integrity, has helped turn around the image of the court. Some critics contend that the court occasionally overreaches in its judicial activism but other observers note that it has also reinforced its independence by making a number of important decisions that, at times, have embarrassed the government.
"He has made every effort to see that the judiciary is manned by the correct type of people," says C.N. Sreekumar, a Supreme Court advocate. He has endeavored "to project the judiciary as a very transparent institution, an institution with great integrity," says Mr. Sreekumar.
In March 2011, in a landmark verdict, a bench-led by Justice Kapadia struck down the appointment of a government-selected Central Vigilance Commissioner, the federal agency that investigates corruption in the government. The ruling said that the government had not considered previous allegations of corruption against the candidate, before making the appointment.
Also last year, the Supreme Court took a strong stance in overseeing the investigation into a wide-ranging corruption scandal related to the 2008 allotment of second-generation mobile telephony spectrum. The court also declined to grant bail to some high-profile politicians targeted in the probe. That was well-received by average Indians who have become fed up with government corruption and demonstrated against it last year. "This brought back a lot of political capital for the court," says Mr. Robinson.
Justice Kapadia's journey to one of the most powerful positions in the country began as an office assistant at a law firm in Mumbai. He belongs to a lower middle class family in Mumbai, and is known as a humble man among the legal fraternity.
"He is someone who had the ability to be above any influence and pressure," says V.R. Krishnaiyer, 97 years old, and a former judge of Supreme Court.
In a lecture on Judicial Ethics in April, Justice Kapadia said: "The judge should not accept patronage through which he acquires office, preferential treatment or pre-retirement assignment. These can give rise to corruption if and when quid pro-quo makes a demand on such judges."
Justice Kapadia is due to retire in September.

AmericaHomeKey, Inc. (AHK), Dallas, Texas, has immediately and premanently lost its approval granted to it by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to originate and underwrite new mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). In addition, HUD's Mortgagee Review Board (MRB) is imposing $268,000 in penalties against the mortgage lender for repeated and serious violations of FHA requirements.
Among more than a dozen violations of FHA standards, the MRB found AHK:
1. Failed to adequately document the source and/or adequacy of borrowers' funds used for closing;
2. Failed to correctly calculate or adequately document borrowers' income;
3. Failed to verify the stability of borrowers' income;
4. Failed to ensure borrowers were eligible for an FHA-insured mortgage loan;
5. Failed to ensure the property met eligibility requirements;
6. Failed to comply with HUD's property flipping requirements, including a case involving a property purchased for $14,100 that was resold approximately three months later for $125,000; and;
7. Charged borrowers unallowable fees.
The Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as Ginnie Mae, also terminated AHK as an approved issuer, though AHK was not an active participant in the Ginnie Mae program having never issued Ginnie Mae securities in the past.
The action against AHK announced is the result of HUD's ongoing effort to hold the mortgage industry accountable for the loans they originate, underwrite and/or service.
"When we begin to see a pattern of failure to apply our standards, we will act to protect FHA's financial health as well as consumers," said Acting FHA Commissioner Carol Galante. "We expect lenders to meet our requirements, not just to protect the safety of our insurance fund but to make certain they don't set up borrowers to fail by putting them into mortgages they ultimately can't sustain."

The upcoming third season of the popular show 'Naagin' has apparently been acquired by Star Plus, instead of Colors where the first two seasons were broadcast.
According to Spotboye, a source said, "Naagin is an interesting series and has helped Colors in terms of cementing its position as one of the top channels. However, Star Plus bid higher for the third season and therefore managed to clinch the supernatural show".
The third season will not feature Mouni Roy who has played lead in the first few seasons. Rumours about the new actress taking on the role have put a few names in the mix including Surbhi Jyoti and Karishma Tanna. The source went on the add, "Star is planning to revamp the channel and wants to include a number of fiction shows. Goes without saying, Naagin 3 is a great catch and they bid such a price that it closed doors for Colors."
Interestingly, Colors have been airing the teaser of 'Naagin 3', showcasing that the show will be aired on their channel.

Doc Johnson dazzles at ANME
30.01.2018 | Burbank, California, USA – America's iconic pleasure products manufacturer, Doc Johnson, arrived at ANME with an exciting array of new products. The company introduced 24 new skus across five of their most popular lines, Main Squeeze, iVibe, Mood, Optimale, and the hugely successful Kink by Doc Johnson collection.
Doc Johnson's latest product selection is a diverse mix of item types, styles, and functions but the unifying theme at ANME this year was clearly customer satisfaction. "We take our customer feedback very seriously," explained Scott Watkins, VP of Sales and Marketing. "ANME really showcased how we take that feedback and turn it into amazing products."
In addition to the new products introduced by the manufacturer, they showcased interactive displays and cutting edge merchandising concepts. Doc Johnson's booth included an immersive display of their BDSM/fetish line, Kink. They hosted a steady stream of excited customers asking about product displays and snapping pictures with their favorite accessories. "People were especially excited to see the more additions to Kink," said Watkins. "It's retailer favorite. They love the quality and unique mix of items. But to be honest, they also love how fun it is to merchandise. ANME gives us a chance to showcase the possibilities. The response from our customers is that, in many stores, Kink is not just a section, it's an attraction."
Other Doc Johnson favorites at ANME included the brand's candy-colored, American Pop photo booth and Doc Johnson's new sex toy vending machine– the 'Pop Up Pleasure Machine'. With the Pop Up Pleasure Machine, showgoers were delighted to learn that they could "tweet for a treat", posting a designated hashtag to their twitter account as well as a photo of the event, to receive a free product from the machine. The Pop Up Pleasure Machine's hashtag, #VIBEWITHDOC, was trending throughout the two-day show with various photos of customers posing excitedly in front of the hot pink vending machine.
In an industry of ever-evolving trends and products, Doc Johnson's presence at ANME proved some things never change, "Pleasing our customers and consumers is our priority," Watkins concluded. "That's what Doc is focused on."

I am so lucky to live in virginia where I can buy Polyface farms meat and eggs which I read about in the book The Omnivores Delemma. You can drive to the farm to pick it up or they have drop points around the area once a month or in Virgina Beach they sell it at the organic store at the farmers market off Dam Neck road. There is also the Full Quiver Farm in suffolk that sells grassfed meats. And they are at the Old Beach farmers market on saturdays in the Croc's restaurant parking lot.

Dear friends,
Just wanting to report briefly on our first annual general meeting (AGM) on Monday 16 November 2016. We had 13 present and numerous apologies. A very big thanks to Rob Vicary for hosting and catering for the meeting.
We kept the administration to a minimum and spent most of the time sharing and reflecting on aspects of the mission.
The AGM Minutes are attached below.
We were encouraged to welcome some new members. I enclose also a photo of the gathering ( including the light of the Holy Spirit shining over us ! ) .
Please feel free to contact me about any of the matters we raised in our reports.
May peace be with you all!
Gary StonePresident & Padre to Veterans, Families & Carers.
Where: 26a Yallamurra Street, The Gap QLD 4061When: Monday 16th November 2015Start Time: 7.30pm
A little over a year ago at a Man Alive breakfast I shared the complex health challenges that faced many veterans and their families.
I explained that there had been neither formal church response to the situation nor any church funding likely, but that I was committed to introducing some spiritual response to the situation. Geoff Fry spoke up and said that he thought some people from the St Johns Wood The Gap parish would like to support a response. Rob Vicary added that some governance structures could be put in place along the lines of a tax-deductible charitable organisation and several others said they would like to make financial donations to this work.
This last quarter of the year has seen us involved in a wide range of engagement. It has also been a period where we have become aware of how wide and complex the needs of our veterans and their families are. We have had numerous requests for assistance as well as many people suggesting additional things that we could be involved in.
Our Raison d'etre has been to provide spiritually based pastoral care as well as education in holistic health. In working with veterans and their families we have tried to encourage people to take self-responsibility in building resilience in their lives once they are empowered with the information to do this.
We are achieving these things well, but the quantum of needs out there is far beyond our current capacity to deliver.
In Australia, more than 1.4 million people (at any one time) are suffering from the insidious disease that is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – Australian Bureau of Statistics)
And while the disease affects people from all walks of life, it is the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who (as a group) are particularly at risk.
The simple fact is, PTSD destroys lives.
This silent killer tears families apart, brings destruction and torment into relationships and often ends in suicide. No one deserves this fate, but especially not those who have offered their lives on battle fields and skirmishes to protect our freedom.
Early detection and early treatment saves lives – but the current system is flooded, and people are slipping through the cracks.
Money is needed to raise awareness, increase services, dispel the myths and remove the stigma associated with PTSD.
Through the pastoral work of Deacon Gary Stone, and pre-existing education services, welfare and social enterprises, Veterans Care Association is on the front line, providing support and assistance where it is needed. But we need your help.

No Art at the Art Gallery Cafe
I don't know what it is about art galleries having a tradition of serving up reasonably good food cafeteria-style, but it seems to be a trend and the Vancouver Art Gallery is no different. We've got a decent museum with a fantastic patio (in a downtown core that is literally bereft of good outdoor eating) and a menu that looks decent at first glance, but fails on the follow through and I don't know why that is. Is there an unspoken rule that if you're within a certain proximity to art your food has to be micro-waved? If so, that's a stupid rule and someone should change it.
I've been to the Gallery Café a couple of times, mostly when I'm meeting people downtown who have no real culinary bent or who have a burning desire to eat outdoors and it's not that I've necessarily been disappointed, it just seems like an institution devoted to the arts could do so much better. On my last visit I ordered the Asparagus Risotto that came with a side Caesar salad. I didn't order a glass of wine, but that option was there if I had wanted it, a nice touch considering the self-service. There are always a couple of daily hot specials as well as a selection of large salad bowls, sandwiches and quiches. The line for food circles around and as you get close to the display there is a bit of a panic to get your order in before you pass the point where they can heat it up by the time you get to the cash register. Otherwise, there's a bottleneck.
The risotto itself was decent, but clearly made earlier in the day and heated up on high for a couple of minutes. It was too hot in the middle and warm in other places – including the pistachios on top. And risotto is meant to be a creamy, delicate dish in which the rice is in a bit of a soup sauce, but the grain is still al dente. This particular risotto was more or less stuck together in a lump and the subtle flavour of the asparagus was lost to over-cooking. The side salad was crisp and fresh, however, so that may be the way to go.

Skin patches can be, surprisingly, an added beauty feature for some women — kind of like a Cindy Crawford signature beauty spot. For most, however, these spots can easily become a source of embarrassment, shame and worry. It's reasonable for most people to feel so because those uneven patches of skin are signs of skin damage.
The truth about skin pigmentation.
The most important information to remember about skin pigmentation is that these damages on the skin can go beyond the surface. It may have taken years for skin to be damaged in such a way and is only beginning to manifest now. That means to say, solutions to remove patches on your skin may take years of consistent treatment before the dark spots start to improve in appearance.
To improve unsightly skin patches, you may follow one or more of the following treatment options:
1. Apply sunscreen religiously and throughout the day.
UVA and UVB are the most prevalent causes of skin pigmentation. The first being deep penetrating, it causes damages on skin cells located in the deeper layers of the skin. UVB, on the other hand, damages only the epidermis. Developing skin patches, therefore, may happen superficially or beneath skin deep.
Check out Clinique sunscreen reviews to observe how very differently the same product works out varying solutions for its users. Find your perfect sunscreen and use daily to prevent further damage to happen.
2. Use a hydroquinone cream.
Once the gold standard of skin whitening, the trouble with hydroquinone is that it is a suspected carcinogen. Yet, if you still want to try it, many countries including the US continue to approve of product manufacture and distribution. Your product choices include over-the-counter and prescription only varieties.
3. Use tretinoin or retinol cream.
If you have aging skin and possibly already using a Vitamin A enriched anti-wrinkle cream then, you are already receiving the benefits of this treatment to your skin patches as well. Many studies have shown that Vitamin A does not only help smooth en out wrinkles but also inhibit melanin production. By slowing down melanin production, these creams are buying time for your skin to treat itself.
4. Chemical peels.
This treatment option is tempting to DIY. However, it's best to get these treatments from a professional because the risk of permanent depigmentation or discoloration is high and real. Downtime, pain and results are all dependent on two factors: the extent of your skin problem and the results you desire. This treatment is available in three classes of chemicals that act on skin: mild, moderate and intense.
5. Laser treatment.
When causes of skin pigmentation strike, damage is sure to follow. It seems that there is no skin damage that a laser treatment cannot heal and manage. The beauty of lasers is that the damaged skin is highly targeted so there's no need to suffer healthy surrounding tissue. Depending on the laser treatment that you are availing of, the downtime and pain can vary. Make sure to strictly follow your doctor's orders for pre-session and post-session care.
6. Skin brightening masks.
You can choose to go in for a professionally administered brightening mask or, you can mix up a DIY blend in your kitchen. To DIY, it's simple, just follow the following steps:
Step 1: Blend honey and any citrus fruit such as berries, orange, lemon or tangerine. Citrus fruits have natural astringent properties and are rich in antioxidants which help revive and whiten your skin at the same time. These should not be applied in concentrated forms to your skin, however, or your skin will burn. You need honey to dissolve in those ingredients as it also acts as a powerful humectant.
Step 2: Dip a rice paper into a plate with your ingredients spread out. Wait for the rice paper to soften then use as mask.
Step 3: Leave on skin for 15 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.
7. Oral supplementation.
Taking loads of Vitamin C and glutathione can help improve your skin complexion, including brighten your dark skin patches. Be forewarned, though, that too much of these can cause overdose.
Believe what Brooke Burke already did when she said, "I just don't think there's a sunscreen that gives you enough protection." Consider yourself lucky for getting an age spot or a tiny hyper pigmentation somewhere on your face. From here on wards, be more careful with the sun.

At least 45 people have been killed and 26 others are missing after a fire engulfed a footwear factory in the northern Philippines, authorities said Thursday.
The blaze swept through a slipper and shoe factory in Valenzuela City on Wednesday, Mayor Rex Gatchalian told reporters at a news conference.
Retrieval operations are still underway at the site, and fire officials have said they expect to find more bodies when they reach the building's second floor, which they have warned could collapse.
Five people pulled alive from the burning factory on Wednesday were taken to local hospitals. Authorities said late Wednesday that the total number of survivors was still unclear.
The blaze started before noon Wednesday, and fire officials declared it under control by late afternoon, authorities said.
The city government said the fire was believed to have been caused by sparks from welding work on the factory's gate setting alight chemicals in nearby containers.
The flames spread in seconds, witnesses said.
"We tried to put the fire out by pouring water and using the fire extinguisher but it was difficult already," Steve Chua, a worker in the factory, told police, according to CNN Philippines.

Ceremonial Stairs & Hallway
The grand ceremonial staircase leads from the entrance through to the hallway. The stained glass windows at the top of the staircase were designed by John Gregory Crace and were made in 1880-1881. Whilst the interiors of the Hall were destroyed during the Second World War, the stained glass survived because it was removed for its protection. It was incorporated into the design for the new post-war Hall on the ceremonial stairs and in the Livery Hall. The staircase leads up to the hallway which can be used as an area for pre-dinner drinks for smaller events; it is also an ideal space to receive guests.

the Big Sur Coastline!
This period was characterized by the granting of large tracts
of land to favored settlers by the governors of California. Between
1822 and 1847, huge ranchos were created by these grants. Vaqueros
herded the tough long-horned cattle into cactus corrals, and the
powerful dons of the ranchos rode about on finely bred Spanish
horses ornamented with silver and tooled leather.
American immigration threatened this unique culture, as the arriving
"Americanos" married into the wealthy families or simply
squatted on the land of their choice with no regard for Mexican
property rights.
Conflict escalated
when John Fremont was sent by the American government with sixty
armed men on a 'scientific' expedition. His covert purpose was
to stir up the American settlers and to stand by for an open declaration
of war with Mexico.
In 1846 a
border incident in Texas gave President James Polk the excuse
he needed to declare war.
Finally, under
the guise of 'protecting' California from British aggression,
President Polk sends the fleet. Commodore John Drake Sloat sailed
into Monterey Bay with the American fleet in 1846. He went ashore
with a party of fifty Marines and announced that California was
henceforth part of the United States.

A truly festive end to ENF 2018! Zacharias and the SCO open with Rameau's vibrant, exhilarating dances before Martín joins them for Mozart's sublime Clarinet Concerto. To close, perhaps the most apposite of all symphonies, Haydn's 'Farewell'.
Christian Zacharias is one of the world's most celebrated pianists and is also a conductor, festival director, musical thinker, writer, and broadcaster. He first made his name as a pianist and he continues to appear in concerto and recital performances worldwide, performing with the world's leading conductors. He also conducts the most renowned orchestras.
In the 2017/18 season, Zacharias takes over as first guest conductor of the Orquesta y Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid for the next 3 seasons. Until 2013 he was director and principal conductor of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, with which he made many critically acclaimed and international prize-winning recordings.
Zacharias was a long-term "Artistic Partner" of the St Paul Chamber Orchestra since the 2009/10 season. He also maintains close ties with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, with whom he was Principal Guest Conductor for many years, and enjoys long-term relationships with orchestras such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Hallé Orchestra Manchester and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.
Zacharias' work in the world of music has earned him numerous awards and prizes, including the 2007 Midem Classical Award "Artist of the Year". The French government also honoured him as an "Officier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres" and he was awarded for his contributions to culture in Romania in 2009. In 2016, he was named member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.
Spanish clarinettist, Maximiliano Martin has made his debut as a soloist and chamber musician in many of the world's most prestigious venues including the BBC Proms and Wigmore Hall in London, Library of Congress in Washington, Mozart Hall in Seoul, Laeiszhalle Hamburg in Germany, Durban City Hall in South Africa and Palau de la Música in Barcelona.

Hi all,
Another long waited camera, not with the lens I wish but I'm working on alternatives already.
Here is Clarovid II, this example was made in 1935, Trinar-Anastigmar 3.9 105mm.
Only a couple of micro holes on the bellows due age, I will check overtime I put a roll on it. Rangefinder ok, shutter correct, lens as well, only mini-cleaning scratches.
I think this camera has its own how-to-shoot, both persons I contacted on flickr about the camera agreed on the same issue I saw on my test roll, film flatness (or not as sharp as it should), Im already thinking how to find out where the problem is and how to fix it.
At the moment here are the pictures I took last week, not my best but something to start with.
Firefighters tools.
Autumn path #1.
Autumn path #2.
Autumn path #3.
Ms Svetlana.
Mr Nico - the boy.
And here its the camera.
Thank you for watching

Back to basics– The Nature - with 100% natural products! We would like the world to know the story behind our authentic ingredients.
100% natural are often advertising slogans we see almost every day to convince the consumer.
Producers may easily claim the name 100% natural. There are too many different regulations, quality marks,
the question remains - what is eventually good? We never ask any manufacturer from well-known creams, famous shampoos, to present proof. We just believe them, because of the brand name ?
Or in some cases we just buy a certain amount for a proven certificate or get a logo mark because we pay the company a certain amount per year. How fair is that.
In our research institute we stand behind ingredients that are traditionally proven effective.
Our focus is people, animals and the nature.
It gives us great satisfaction in compiling, testing and presenting fair products to you.
All the raw materials follow strict specifications and are subject to strict analysis.
√ Every purchase of a Volcanic Earth product directly assists Oceania island people in South Pacific to alleviate poverty.
Volcanic Earth products are made with absolute care. Each ingredient is tested separately in order
to prevent hypersensitivity or any kind of irritation to the skin.
With the aim to restore and support the natural protective layer of our skin.
During the development special attention is paid to the use in several types of skin conditions,
you can think of eczema as well as allergies, skin irritations. In some cases Tamanu Oil™ may cause hypersensitivity reactions in people with an existing allergy to Calophyllum inophyllum.
- always test a small piece of skin and wait at least 24 hours
Volcanic Earth products are 100 % naturally and free from Alcohol, Parabens, Perfume, artificial additives, silicones, CAPB (Cocamidopropyl betaine).
Suitable for men, women in all ages & skin types: - normal, dry, greasy, combination skin -
Volcanic Earth natural skin care products with authentic ingredients coming from very special islands in the South Pacific.
The force of nature is often underestimated. Each person has their own skin with plenty differences.
Volcanic Earth natural skin care products - free from artificial additives - is due to the special composition of authentic ingredients,
suitable for all ages & all skin types: - normal, dry, greasy, combination skin -
Volcanic Earth's mission to enhance the skin health and well-being of people around the world.
Volcanic Earth products are very popular outside Europe, we launched Volcanic Earth in Europe in 2015.
We are proud to share with everyone the story behind the product.
Each ingredient which examined Volcanic Earth is unique because of its origin.
These ingredients are authentic and centuries medicinally used by folk medicine.
A unique authentic story to share.
• The original pure Tamanu Oil • DME processed Coconut Oil • Volcanic Ash from the most active volcano world-wide.
Our pure authentic ingredients are delivered to the cosmetics industry, aesthetic dermatology clinics, Wellness industry and veterinary clinics.
In addition, we developed a complete body and facial skin care based on the mentioned basic ingredients.
The basic ingredients are located on islands in Oceania and proven effective.
The country contains 83 islands, known as the paradise which is practically free from pollution, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer or insecticides.
Vegetation are grown biological on the fertile ground and blossom in the rich volcanic soil without any use of chemicals.
The country (islands) contains unique ingredients which locals collect by hand and transport to head island through sea freight.
Every purchase of a Volcanic Earth product directly assists the locals on the islands to alleviate poverty.
Every day numerous quakes registering seismographs, though most of them are hardly noticeable.
However, there are frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
We cannot express in words what makes these islands unique. Money and equipment are relatively unimportant.
These people are the most happiest people worldwide. This gives us more than satisfaction, especially since the basic ingredients are proven effective for common skin conditions.
Suitable for all skin types: normal skin, dry skin, oily skin, combination skin
I. Volcanic Earth Volcanic Ash
Specially team collects the Volcanic Ash in large quantities.
Not everyone can and may collect this type of ash on the island because of land rights.
Volcanic Earth ™ volcanic ash comes straight from the mouth of the volcano.
What does Volcanic Ash do for your skin ?
Applying volcanic clay to the skin creates a calming effect and gives extra energy to the skin surface making the skin look younger. The clay also has the exceptional ability to neutralize toxins in the skin and impurities in the pores of the skin.
Because of the cleansing and absorbing properties of volcanic clay, it is an excellent natural ingredient for
de-stress, detoxification, fat burning, immune system, muscle pain.
Volcanic Ash?
Sulfur is the active ingredient in volcanic ash. Sulfur stimulates not only to resist bacteria,
Volcanic Ash is nature's natural healer for dry and damaged skin. Because of these benefits, volcanic therapies have long been used to treat skin disorders such as acne and psoriasis whilst nourishing and healing the skin.
It's also an anti-ageing remedy as it restores skin radiance and elasticity.
Sulfur against ► Skin conditions like acne, dandruff, scaly skin..
II. Volcanic Earth pure Tamanu Oil ™
We often receive the following questions:
• What is Tamanu Oil ? "Or"
• What does Tamanu Oil do for the skin ? '
• What does Tamanu Oil do for my hair ? And can it be used on greasy hair ?
Many active ingredients are found in pure Tamanu Oil™ that explain why Tamanu Oil™
works so well for skin problems and seems to be good for the healing of wounds.
One of the components is calophyllolide, what appears to be anti-inflammatory.
Other elements of the oil appears to work antibacterial. The oil is also rich in oil and linolenic acids,
which moisturize and soften skin, but does not make your skin oily.
But also when you have greasy hair, use it before bed time but do let the oil dry completely otherwise your sheets will be under the oil.
Every day, people are becoming more aware and more concerned
about what hidden things are in skin care products, haircare products.
Tamanu Oil™ is NOT diluted, 100% natural, pure, no chemicals and no artificial additives.
► Tamanu Oil™ does NOT make your skin oily even if you have an oily skin it can be perfectly used.
Tamanu Oil™ not only gives your skin and hair a glossy effect, the oil makes your skin healthy again.
1 Drop Tamanu Oil™ is sufficient for daily use. Even if you have an itchy hair scalp, look at the products you are using.
Stop and try only natural ingredients which have proven effective ingredients.
Traditionally Tamanu Oil is used for acne scarring, treatment of psoriasis, eczema, skin, hair, as an anti-aging product or as an ingredient in cosmetic products, the oil is also used for sunburns, wounds and more.
The Tamanu nuts collected throughout a whole network of villages are usually delivered to a central location or collected
directly from each village. These nuts have fallen from the tree naturally (won't work if you try to pick them off the tree as
they won't produce the oil). The nuts are then places on racks in a special climateroom to cure for weeks. Over this time, some sort of process takes place (that even scientists do not fully understand). The nuts change in color and a sticky oil (Tamanu Oil) starts to seep from the nut kernels. It is at this time that the nuts go in a press, after that filtered.
At no time is anything added to the oil nor is there any chemical processes involved – the result oil is 100% pure, organic unrefined (raw) Tamanu Oil.
The quality of the oil is extremely high because of the origin and pure process.
Another reason is the fact that the Tamanu Nuts come mainly from Tamanu Trees that grow by the shoreline and not inland or from some man-made artificial plantation. The trees grow in their natural habitat and suffer no harm.
Be aware of the many type Tamanu Oil in the market: Stay away from black colored, neon yellow-coloured Tamanu Oil. There is a reason why real Tamanu Oil is expensive.
None of these are the real deal and this is why they are so cheap. Unfortunately there is a lot of rubbish oil coming out of several countries claiming the original Tamanu Oil. For example the Black Tamanu Oil, this occurs in the process where the Tamanu Nuts have been thrown into the fire to try and speed up the curing process. There is only one process.
Any other processes seriously diminishes its natural, skin-healing and anti-aging properties.
The same with the neon yellow Tamanu Oil that has been either diluted down with a cheap carrier oil or in some cases, the product has been put through a chemical filtering process. Yes the oil may be a lighter oil but again the product has been chemically stripped of some of its natural components making it inferior and much less effective. While the original pure Tamanu Oil is expensive and proven effective for centuries by local medicals. It remains difficult to understand the difference when you buying cheaper Tamanu Oil, but if you suffer from skin conditions you should only try the original Tamanu Oil which comes from Volcanic Earth Europe.
Authenticity and purity is maintained during the entire process.
All ingredients are subjected to a strict quality control and assayed by GCMS and includes a COA.
III. Volcanic Earth pure Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is used in so many natural beauty products, and for good reason: It's naturally antibacterial and antifungal, coconut oil for skin is an excellent moisturizer, it can penetrate hair better than other oils, and, well, it smells delicious before you put it into your hair and on your skin. After seconds the smell disappears.
But which one is the best ? You will not find it out on short term, only on long term.
Skin care:
Coconut oil is excellent massage oil that acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skin, including dry skin. Unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin from the application of coconut oil. Therefore, it is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin. It also delays the appearance of wrinkles.
Just like coconut oil can nourish hair, it also nourishes the skin. A few facts of our Coconut Oil:
• No trans fatty acids and not hydrogenated
• Natural coconut aroma and flavour
• Keeps at room temperature for at least two years
• Helps keep skin moisturised.
• Provides fair income opportunities for local families supplying coconuts and manpower.
Most of us do not realise that skin, hair, body and bath products with pure coconut oil are mostly made from copra oil and not Virgin Coconut Oil. Copra oil has little if any real skin care benefits and the same goes for mass-production.
Copra is busted up coconut shells with the flesh still inside. Sadly, these are usually thrown into old sugar bags and the like and left to accumulate mildew and mold until such time as the they are put threw a press or otherwise treated. This is usually weeks later and by then the copra oil that is produced has no aroma and has lost virtually all of the goodness that true Virgin Coconut Oil is known for.
Not so with Volcanic Earth.
Our handmade products are made from high grade Virgin Coconut Oil cold pressed within 1 - 3 hours of cracking open the coconut (referrred to as the DME or Direct Micro Expelling method). As a result, each batch of oil is virgin, rich in antioxidants and chemical-free. Our VolcanicEarth premium Virgin Coconut Oil comes only from fresh, mature coconuts and these factors contribute to the reason why our Virgin Coconut Oil is some of the best coconut oil on the planet.
Massage oils and massage creams can greatly benefit your skin provided these massage products are all natural and preferably made from only the best quality, Virgin Coconut Oil. Why? - Because of the very high levels of antioxidants found in premium grade Virgin Coconut Oil.
Authenticity and purity is maintained during the entire process.
All ingredients are subjected to a strict quality control and assayed by GCMS and includes a COA.
Based on these ingredients Volcanic Earth offers a unique range of natural skin care products for the skin.
All the basic ingredients are also offered separately:
√ 100% pure Tamanu Oil™ √ 100% pure Coconut Oil √ 100% Volcanic As
Make a difference !

Tacoma Rainiers
Early runs, walks lift Tacoma Rainiers past Sacramento River Cats
The Tacoma Rainiers had a few things going for them Tuesday night facing Sacramento River Cats bullpen starter Alex Torres.
In Forrest Snow's spot start, the Rainiers coaches wanted five innings and 75 pitches, and he threw five and 76. Ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte debuted with two solid innings and reliever Emilio Pagan threw a perfect eighth.
The pitching staff as a whole allowed just one run as the Rainiers defeated Sacramento 5-1 in front of 4,446 in Cheney Stadium. Tacoma scored twice in the second and fourth innings and once in the seventh along with accumulating nine walks in the game.
"We couldn't capitalize on all the walks," manager Pat Listach said. "But it's a good solid game, well pitched. I'd like to see our offense score more than five runs when we get nine walks, but they get four double plays in the first four innings. … We'll take the win."
The River Cats' pitcher was a different story.
Tacoma jumped on Torres, who Sacramento had summoned from the bullpen for a spot start. Shortstop Tyler Smith made Torres pay for his two walks to start the second inning by hitting a two-run double to give the Rainiers a 2-1 lead.
"Two hitters before me, they had about eight-pitch at-bats," Smith said. "I know he was a bullpen guy anyways, he was on a pitch count. I knew he just wanted to get ahead and it ended up being a good pitch to hit, just got the barrel out and drove it down the line."
Torres was replaced after 1 1/3 innings allowing two hits, two runs and four walks.
Earlier in the top of the first inning, the River Cats had runners on first and third with one out. Snow struck out Travis Ishikawa, then Jesus Sucre threw to Smith to try and catch Chris Denorfia on a steal attempt to second. Sucre failed, but on the play Austin Slater tried to steal home, but was caught in a rundown and was put out to end the inning.
Pitching was the River Cats' Achilles' heel.
Torres and Vin Mazzaro, his replacement, gave up eight combined walks in four innings.
In the fourth inning, Dan Robertson popped a two-RBI triple down the right field line to give Tacoma a 4-1 lead.
Snow exited after five innings, and was replaced by Venditte.
After giving up a double on the first at-bat in the fifth, Venditte retired the next three batters with two strikeouts and a fly-out. Venditte, who per MLB rules must declare an arm before each at-bat, would switch hands throwing left-handed to left-handed hitters and vice versa.
"It was actually neat to watch," Listach said. "I've seen it before, but haven't seen it in a long time."
Mike Freeman scored the fifth run in the seventh off of a DJ Peterson ground out. Reliever Emilio Pagan helped keep the lead with a gem of an eighth inning: nine pitches, three strikeouts.
Kittredge, who hadn't thrown in four days, threw a one-hit ninth to end the game.
Sacramento's one run came in the first inning off of an Austin Slater RBI double.
Left fielder Dario Pizzano was optioned down to Double-A Jackson Tuesday to clear up a roster spot for utility player Freeman. Pizzano spent all season in Tacoma and slashed .259/.302/.364 in 77 game with the Rainiers this season. Freeman was optioned down to Tacoma to clear space for shortstop Ketel Marte, who was recalled. … Taijuan Walker will make his scheduled start for the Rainiers Friday in Memphis.

Oh! Deputy Dad's kidney stone pain has suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, leaving us to wonder if he passed it. We'll see how the weekend goes…if he doesn't have any more pain, he'll call the urologist's office Monday and see if the doc wants to get another x-ray. Wouldn't it be just grand if the damn thing is gone, and he doesn't have to have surgery after all?
Let's see…what else?
Mother-In-Law and I got up at 4:30 this morning and went to Wal-Mart at 5:00 for the Big Sale. I got The Drama Queen and Miss Attitude each an iDog, and SuperBoy a 2 1/2-foot tall Superman. Once the initial shopping rush wore off, the holy-crap-I've-been-up-since-4:30 kicked in, and I spent the rest of the day exhausted.
Hey, you know what the best thing about today is? It's only Friday! We still have the whole weekend ahead of us! Weeeeeee!
Okay, I'm off to eat some leftover pie and go to bed. Goodnight, folks.
I'm swamped at work and at home today, but I don't want to skip out on my NaBloPoMo duties. (Heh, I accidently typed NaBloPoMom. Freudian slip?)
Have you ever watched a press conference and noticed how it takes some of those reporters for-freaking-EVER to construct their questions? Well, here's a clip from Craig Ferguson's* show, where they've poked a little fun at Donald Rumsfeld as he waits to answer those 57-part questions.
Clicking here will take you to the YouTube video. I tried to embed it here, but WordPress got bitchy with me, and I'm too busy and tired to argue with it.
*Craig Ferguson is one of my secret crushes. The accent totally does it for me. Hee.
Note: I found this video – or one like it, anyway – yesterday while surfing the NaBloPoMo Randomizer, but I cannot for the life of me remember on whose blog I found it.

At CERN, alongside around 450 000 perfectly preserved photographic snapshots, a few hundred slides illustrating the remarkable construction of the electron positron collider (LEP) had been forgotten. Poorly preserved, they had been deteriorating for the past thirty years before being found as part of CERN's Digital Memory project.
After being cleaned and scanned, these "disintegrated slides" turned out to be incredible artistic images. They are now the VolMeur collection, which will be exhibited for the first time outside CERN in the old town of Geneva.
Thirty-five previously unseen works will therefore be revealed at the Galerie Images de Marque from 8 November to 7 December 2018.
Visitors will have the opportunity to participate in various creative experiences, mixing science and art, as well as several conferences. More information and the full programme can be found on https://volmeur.web.cern.ch/event/breaking-mould

That Japan has always been a scientifically-based country shouldn't come into doubt since Emperor Hirohito was a scientist himself. Emperor Hirohito was a marine biologist and it was from his scientific studies that he figured out how to use the jet stream to float balloons loaded with biological weapons to the US west coast after WWII, some of these balloons crashed at Roswell. Japan had at the time a real scientific God-ruler. Japan continues applying scientific applications to its society and has introduced a type of stick-on electronic identifier for elderly Japanese who are getting lost. As Japan's populations age signs of this aging are appearing all over the country. Yesterday, an elderly man drove his car through the front of a convenience store when he mistook the brake for the accelerator. A couple of months ago, an elderly Japanese man got into his car and started driving. He ended up hours away from home and had no idea how he got to where he was in the car when he finally stopped. His daughter had to get on the train and bring him back home. Now Japan has started tagging their elderly with bar codes to keep track of them.

Japan Is Tagging and Tracking the Elderly With Stickers
December 8, 2016
by Sidney Fussell
The oldest country in the world is taking new steps to keep their wandering elders in check: adding barcodes their thumbnail and toenails. It's creepy, but potentially life saving.
A company in Iruma, a city about 40 miles from Tokyo, is rolling out a tagging system for elderly patients suffering from dementia: a transparent, one-inch sticker with a QR code. The seal is water-resistant and stays on for up to two weeks. The code has a record of the patient's name, address, phone number, and who to contact in case they're found disoriented. The QR code doesn't track the elderly person's movements, however, it just provides specific information when scanned at a police station.
One in three native Japanese citizens is over the age of 60 and Japanese outlet Yomiuri estimates as many as 3,000 elderly citizens have early symptoms of dementia. The Guardian reports that last year, more than 12,000 people with dementia were reported missing. Most were found within a few days, but more than 450 were found dead. 150 were never found.

Weekend in Santa Cruz with Beowulf
We spent this past weekend with my little sister Laurel at her place in Santa Cruz. In the morning one of Laurel's roommates asked, "hey where's Joanna? (another roommate)" And someone yelled from down the hall, "probably out surfing!" This seemed completely normal to them but I think it's pretty cool and unique that some of Laurel's roommates surf. Although Laurel doesn't surf, she finished her first half-marathon a week ago. Impressive.
On Saturday, Ivy and I parked our rental car in Santa Cruz near some cliffs overlooking the beach and we walked over to Capitola (a tiny town with lots of character right next to Santa Cruz). Capitola brought back some good memories because Ivy took me here for a weekend to celebrate right after I had taken the bar exam a number of years ago.
We had Thai food in Capitola and I tried something new I'd highly recommend: a mint noodle dish. It was excellent and Ivy also had a superb squash-based curry. (Note: one way you can tell you're in an authentic Thai place in my opinion is if the TV is playing on the side of the restaurant and you see some kind of asian soap opera featured. When Ivy and I visited Thailand most of the restaurants we saw in Bangkok had some kind of TV show playing. Annoying to westerners, but always great food. These weren't expensive places of course.)
Saturday evening we saw the amazing new film Beowulf in downtown Santa Cruz. The images were computer-generated but at the same time the roles were somehow acted out by real actors (e.g. Anthony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie). It was the most high-tech and visually impressive film I think I've ever seen. The audience we saw it with made the experience a lot of fun because people would cheer or chuckle at every over-the-top macho thing Beowulf did. It was also a rather sexually-charged film so I'm not sure if its PG13 rating was the right call. But I think this movie will generate lots of interest in the classic work itself--which it has for me. I recommend the movie for adults for sure.
On Sunday we hiked through some trails in Santa Cruz with lots of beautiful redwood trees. These trees are enormous and create an incredibly peaceful, sylvan setting (exactly like the moon of Endor--that's where the the Ewoks all lived, right?)

Gild Hall, a Thompson Hotel
Buried in the Financial District, this Thompson Hotels outpost presents stylish accommodations and a Tuscan wine bar and restaurant. Sans views, quiet guest rooms boast generous square footage by New York City standards and a host of luxuries, making up for the lack of natural light.
- Tracy Kaler, Destination expert
Gild Hall is situated on Gold Street, a narrow road that begins at Liberty Street and ends at the Brooklyn Bridge, and is within walking distance of Lower Manhattan's top sights and attractions. Get to the South Street Seaport, Stone Street, Battery Park, the World Trade Center, National September 11 Memorial & Museum and Staten Island Ferry, as well as the departure point for the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island without setting foot on public transport.
While in the past the district hasn't been the most notable for restaurants or nightlife, that's changed over the last five or 10 years and the neighbourhood continues to boom. The 2/3 trains at Wall Street and the J/Z at Fulton Street are less than five minutes on foot. Walk another three minutes and you'll find the A/C trains, and another five minutes for the 4/5.
Style & character
Masculine, woodsy and awfully handsome, the spaces feel more like a stylish country cabin than a hotel in Downtown Manhattan. The lobby flows into the quaint bar and restaurant, and the open space works wonderfully. White-painted brick, unmatched leather seating and bookshelves tucked in the many nooks and crannies (including under the open staircase that leads to the second floor of the wine bar) set the scene in the reception area.
Barn doors, wood flooring with brass nail heads, a cowhide area rug and a rustic antler chandelier give the open space a rural feel. Take the lift and discover hallways dressed in a bold red while vintage photography hangs above classic wainscoting (wood panelling).
Service & facilities
Cordial service began the moment I arrived and continued through to check-out. Gild Hall's lobby provides a casual space to read or relax, while its adjoining restaurant and bar is a good spot for a glass of wine.
Rather than a single basement fitness centre (like many New York hotels) this property offers three small gyms for up to two people at a time with one elliptical, one treadmill, and free weights. For guests who desire a full-blown workout experience, the hotel partners with a nearby gym and offers passes for $15 (£12) per day. A small business centre is available around the clock.

- Restaurant
- Bar
- Laundry
- Room service
- Wi-Fi
- Fitness centre
The 126 guest quarters are great-looking with oversized leather headboards, mounted sconces and designer wall coverings. The Jim Walrod-designed rooms range from 230 square feet up to spacious suites. In King Premiums, an oversized antique brass light fixture draws the eye up to the 12-foot ceilings – a rarity in hotel rooms.
While the spaces are comfortable and well-curated, they don't get much natural light and the masculine palette doesn't help brighten the room. A music docking station, 55-inch LCD TV, 400-thread-count Sferra linens, Frette terrycloth robes, D.S & Durga toiletries and a minibar round out the in-room amenities. Sleek glass brick tiles, marble floors, and modern fixtures adorn the baths.
Food & drink
Felice prepares authentic Tuscan dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Favourites on the antipasti menu include the raw artichoke and arugula salad and homemade veal meatballs in tomato sauce. Food is simple and straightforward and pasta dishes like spinach ricotta ravioli with butter and sage, or fettuccine with fava beans, green peas, and black truffle don't disappoint. For hearty mains, opt for pan-seared salmon or sliced sirloin steak; and for something sweet, biscotti or grandma's tiramisù.
The wine bar offers its own 'Felice' brand as well as other Italian selection. Or there's La Soffitta, a private wine-themed space on the second level.
While morning menu selections are plentiful, my American breakfast came with lukewarm bacon and potatoes and overcooked poached eggs. Other options include baked eggs or French toast, to name a few.
Value for money
Double rooms from $127 (£99) in low season; and from $280 (£219) in high. Breakfast not included, costs $30 (£23) per person. A $20 (£16) facility fee includes a welcome toast, unlimited local calls, and premium Wi-Fi.
Access for guests with disabilities?
Accessible rooms are available.
Suites can comfortably accommodate groups.

If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there. - Lewis Carroll
I believe every person should have a bucket list - a framework of defined, clear goals and experiences they want to achieve. I know lists like these lend themselves well to my personality type. But you should ask yourself - if you don't know where you're heading, how will you get there? If you don't know where you want to end up, how will you know if you're making progress?
Below is a list I plan to work from (and grow!) over the next several decades. By posting it online, I want to invite you in on my journey, and hopefully encourage you in the process.

Crocheting and Planning
5 comments:
Hi, Greetings from Czech Republic, Central Europe.I found your blog by Ginny of Small Things. I looked at the rest of your blog, from beginning to end. Wow! I see the evolution / progress :-) Unfortunately my English is very bad, I can not write all the thoughts in my head. I looked at the map, where exactly is the northern Vermont, it's almost the same band as my own country. I like the landscape, mountains and forests. But Bohemia (Czech Republic) is an industrial country with a high concentration of towns and villages, so your simple life in the forest has a great charm for me. I read your posts and see life my grand-grandparents' generation a century ago, but with the laptop :-) I admire your enthusiasm, Mike's work with wood, and of course your knitting and beautiful healthy children. May the Lord bless you! PetraReplyDelete
Ahh I would love to dye some yarn right now but soooo busy!! :( Love your granny squares. Someday I need to get over my fear of them! P.S. I sent you the pattern for my apple cozy today. Sorry it took 2 years :PReplyDelete
Those colors are gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Tonya...I hope you find Waldorf curriculum helpful...I think it has been a beautiful and inspiring way to learn for my son, and soon my daughter as well. Your dyed wool is so so lovely. I remember when you dyed that sage colour...I was drooling! The granny squares are wonderful...I wish I crocheted, but then again, it would be one more craft to want to do.ReplyDelete

Pawchella 2017
Pawchella - July 9 2017 - was a great success. We had lots of fun music, good weather, tasty food, and met both four-footed and two-legged friends. Special thanks to Cedar's Academy of Makeup Artistry, which sponsored a second booth for Friends of Camas Arts at the event and provided face painting. Thank you to Camas Meadows for inviting us to be apart of Concerts for a Cause. We had so much fun doing paw prints (both the four-footed and two-legged kind).

Planning a weekend break in London however don't know how to make the most of your remain? Don't worry … aid is at hand!
If you remain in London for a fairly brief stay after that you'll intend to make sure that you see the very best of the city– below are a couple of tips on just how you could have the best check out possible.
To start with, plan ahead and make certain that you schedule holiday accommodation that will best suit your passions. You'll probably fly in to one of the 3 largest airport terminals (Heathrow, Gatwick or Stansted) but it's probably best to reserve a resort in a much more central place, instead of near any one of the airports. That's not just for factors of noise– each of the airport terminals are a little escape of the centre, so scheduling a resort in an extra main location will certainly leave you even more time to enjoy your remain.
You must also schedule your resort to suit your budget as well as your demands. If you're intending to invest your days out sight-seeing and also your nights eating out or mosting likely to catch a show then it might be that you'll hardly be in your hotel. If that holds true, then why not opt for a somewhat less costly resort as well as maximise your readily available spending plan by investing the cash that you minimize amusement.
There's plenty to see in London and also the most significant issue that you'll have will be narrowing down the choices. It deserves obtaining a good map of the city, as you'll find that a great deal of the central areas are within simple strolling distance– this implies that you could make better use of your time, as you'll see plenty over ground that you would certainly or else miss if you were on the Below ground.
As an example, Buckingham Palace, the Cupboard Battle Areas, your houses of Parliament and also Westminster Abbey are all within easy walking range of each other. That implies that you can cover those destinations reasonably easily. Actually, when you reach your houses of Parliament, you'll also be able to see the London Eye, which is additionally quickly reached by crossing Westminster Bridge. Pre-book attractions where feasible. When it involves spending a weekend break in a city, it is essential to be arranged. Pre-booking destinations and pre-arranging paths around London might seem like a bore when you're resting at home yet it will save you a lot of time when you reach the city.
There's lots to do at nights, with the numerous London shows always being preferred. The heart of London's theatre land is to be found in Shaftesbury Avenue as well as you'll also find plenty of eating choices close by (especially in Soho and Covent Yard). A number of the leading restaurants have sites, so you could pre-book these also prior to arrival in London, if a specific one has captured your eye. Numerous restaurants will supply pre-theatre food selections: these are served before program times, making certain that you could obtain a meal prior to heading off to the theatre.
To summarize, the trick to having a fantastic experience in London is to prepare your remain in breakthrough. Get a great map, find a centrally located hotel and pre-book as much as possible.

Happy Halloween from Menya!
We enjoyed our holiday celebration! It has become our tradition to make pumpkin pancakes for Halloween breakfast.
Then we had a Halloween-themed school day, which the kids were thrilled about. Another tradition for us is carving our pumpkins on Halloween day.
The kids were pretty excited about their green pumpkins! There aren't any orange pumpkins here in Menya, but we were excited to get enough big, round ones for the kids to carve! I've bought all the round ones that have been brought to the house over the last 2 months or so! Most pumpkins here are long and skinny–not great for carving!
Belle with her unicorn.
Sylvie painted hers orange.
And Lucy made a more traditional jack-o-lantern.
Since Halloween was on a Friday, we made pumpkin pizzas for our pizza movie night.
Then on Saturday night Penny threw a fabulous Halloween party for us!
The kids went as a chicken, a super hero, Elsa, and a unicorn.
The farmer and her prize chicken!
Penny had lots of fun games for the kids to play.
It was such a fun night! Our kids all agreed that they had TWO very happy halloweens!

Well. I screwed up. I have to go back and get the other posts. lol. I would say, "I'll be back", but I'm pretty ticked off at Arnold. What else is new?
Okay. I will admit it. I had no idea there was this much work put into this site. After all, I was rewriting the Bible, writing in my site, editing and writing for a newspaper, and writing for a couple other groups. I think I am going to faint, but I WON'T! Not as long as our men and women are in harms way. This is the very least I can do. 🙂
I am, however, going to end this post here. I will start the next post with my links from April forward. I will have to see how many posts are there to determine how many months will go into it. Have a great day!
