commercial property for rent or lease, Industrial Space For Lease.
Beaverton (OR) commercial property for lease, rent, and leased investments.
Find Beaverton industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & shops. Locate a Beaverton warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
Some Beaverton commercial businesses may be more productive and efficient if they have adequate office area. In some areas the monthly lease on such Beaverton areas can very often make up a substantial amount of a small company's budget. Sometimes it's feasible to share facilities like conference rooms with other Beaverton tenants, to reduce costs. Consider different options before taking out a long-term lease on a large workplace when the possibility may exist that your Beaverton business could outgrow the areas quickly. Consider short-term rentals for companies that are growing and in transition.
Search Beaverton real estate and space for sale, lease and rent
While leasing may be short term, less risky, and less expensive than purchasing Beaverton commercial property, signing a lease is still a binding and legal document. Seek legal advice before beginning your search for real estate, an experienced attorney in Beaverton real estate law can help you to avoid signing a contract that may be signing you up for un-necessary expenses and liability that could potential harm business. If you lack time to scout and negotiate contract terms, a broker in Beaverton may be a worthy asset to use.
Your long term Beaverton business plan and real estate commitment should be aligned as most real estate leases and investments are long in duration. Business leaders need to anticipate future growth and requirements of the Beaverton business to be positioned for the best and worst scenarios. Define the spaces you need and make sure the area can be designed to incorporate all requirements. Will the layout satisfy Beaverton employee expectations and will any possible employee relocation, or commute, to a new venue be achieved to everyone's satisfaction. Consider proximity to Beaverton facilities and amenities such as shopping, health care, childcare, etc.

I have been eating here for many years now and they have never let me down. The subs are always more than one meal for me because they are so big, so when you go bring your appetite
We stopped & tried their subs to take home. The local police & workers were there for lunch too! When I saw them I knew it must be good!...and it was! worth a stop soon.
Subs are packed with your favorite eats. Sub rolls are made locally and are the best. Wait time in minimal. Staff is courteous and friendly.
Sugar Hill has always had fantastic subs and sandwiches. There's no doubting that. However, the price increases with the same size sandwiches or smaller have lessened my visits. I find that I have to request extra meat just to get the amazing amount that I was getting with a regular order since I was a kid. It's also clear that...
I always buy my Cheese steak subs there, best quality and taste around. I have been frequenting them for years.

Be prepared to wait if you just stop in, because there is always a line for this amazing deli. If you don't want to wait, then phone your order in...
Great sandwiches. I prefer the seeded roll. I don't care for a soft roll for hoagies or steak sandwiches Cheese steak are super.
Great subs!! Great staff, always accommodating!! Cheese steak subs are missing something!! Realized the meat is not chopped with the cheese, but the cheese is put into sandwich and hot meat dumped on top. Half the time the cheese is fold and still not melted when you open the paper wrap around sandwich. All sub shops melt the cheese on...

Project Description
I need someone to replicate a google mapping feature:
Here is the website with the feature we want to replicate:
[url removed, login to view]+FL&search=Search
FYI: they use Yahoo maps. We want to use Google maps.
Our Need: I have a search results feature already built on my real estate website. A user is able to locate real estate properties according to it's geographic location (city and state / zip code).
When our users perform a city search (or zip code search), we can get the properties to be displayed.
But, my team of programmers and I don't know how to get the results to show up on the google map in the top right corner.
Also, we want each property to be clearly identified on the google map with a specific number (1 or 2 or 3, etc).
FYI: I have latitude and longitude for each property that shows up in our search results (as well as the street address, city, and state).
So, if you can work with my team and help them get our search results to show up on a google map....that would be great!
Please see the attachment for further clarification.

1. Field
The present invention relates generally to graphics systems and more particularly to graphics-rendering systems.
2. Background Information
Computer graphics systems are commonly used for displaying graphical representations of objects on a two-dimensional video display screen. Current computer graphics systems provide highly detailed representations and are used in a variety of applications. In typical computer graphics systems, an object to be represented on the display screen is broken down into graphics primitives. Primitives are basic components of a graphics display and may include points, lines, vectors and polygons, such as triangles and quadrilaterals. Typically, a hardware/software scheme is implemented to render or draw the graphics primitives that represent a view of one or more objects being represented on the display screen.
The primitives of the three-dimensional objects to be rendered are defined by a host computer in terms of primitive data. For example, when the primitive is a triangle, the host computer may define the primitive in terms of X, Y and Z coordinates of its vertices, as well as the red, green and blue (R, G and B) color values of each vertex. Additional primitive data may be used in specific applications.
Image rendering is the conversion of a high-level object-based description into a graphical image for display on some display device. For example, an act of image rendering occurs during the conversion of a mathematical model of a three-dimensional object or scene into a bitmap image. Another example of image rendering is converting an HTML document into an image for display on a computer monitor. Typically, a hardware device referred to as a graphics-rendering engine performs these graphics processing tasks. Graphics-rendering engines typically render scenes into a buffer that is subsequently output to the graphical output device, but it is possible for some rendering-engines to write their two-dimensional output directly to the output device. The graphics-rendering engine interpolates the primitive data to compute the display screen pixels that represent the each primitive, and the R, G and B color values of each pixel.
A graphics-rendering system (or subsystem), as used herein, refers to all of the levels of processing between an application program and a graphical output device. A graphics engine can provide for one or more modes of rendering, including zone rendering. Zone rendering attempts to increase overall 3D rendering performance by gaining optimal render cache utilization, thereby reducing pixel color and depth memory read/write bottlenecks. In zone rendering, a screen is subdivided into an array of zones and per-zone instruction bins, used to hold all of the primitive and state setting instructions required to render each sub-image, are generated. Whenever a primitive intersects (or possibly intersects) a zone, that primitive instruction is placed in the bin for that zone. Some primitives will intersect more than one zone, in which case the primitive instruction is replicated in the corresponding bins. This process is continued until the entire scene is sorted into the bins. Following the first pass of building a bin for each zone intersected by a primitive, a second zone-by-zone rendering pass is performed. In particular, the bins for all the zones are rendered to generate the final image.
Conventionally, the storage of 3D primitive instruction in a bin is formatted as follows: a one 32-bit header describing the type of primitive and an explicit count of vertex indices, followed by a series of 16-bit vertex indices (with a possible trailing 16-bit pad to ensure 32-bit alignment in the bin). The explicit count in the header required knowledge of the size (i.e., number of indices) of the primitive at the time the primitive instruction is generated. The 32-bit header contributes to the bin list bandwidth and footprint requirements of zone rendering.
What is needed therefore is a method and apparatus for efficient object storage for zone rendering.
FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment of a computer system including an embodiment of a graphics device for implementing efficient object storage for zone rendering.
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment of a graphics device including a graphics-binning engine, graphics-rendering engine and bins.
FIG. 3 illustrates a depiction of an embodiment of a zone renderer screen view including zones and geometrical primitives.
FIG. 4 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment of a primitive command with variable vertex count.
FIG. 5 illustrates a diagram of an embodiment of information stored in a bin pointer list.
Embodiments of the present invention provide for efficient object storage for zone rendering. In particular, similar, contiguous primitives to be stored as a single primitive in the zone rendering bins. To enable this, the primitive packet used in the bin is allowed to vary in length and the currently open type of primitive is recorded on a per-bin basis.
In the detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention maybe practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components and circuits have been described in detail so as not to obscure the present invention.
Some portions of the detailed description that follow are presented in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits or binary signals within a computer. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art. An algorithm is here, and generally, considered to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. The steps include physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. It has proven convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers or the like. It should be understood, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities. Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the following discussions, it is appreciated that throughout the specification, discussions utilizing such terms as "processing" or "computing" or "calculating" or "determining" or the like, refer to the action and processes of a computer or computing system, or similar electronic computing device, that manipulate and transform data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within the computing system's registers and/or memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computing system's memories, registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
Embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in hardware or software, or a combination of both. However, embodiments of the invention may be implemented as computer programs executing on programmable systems comprising at least one processor, a data storage system (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or storage elements), at least one input device, and at least one output device. Program code may be applied to input data to perform the functions described herein and generate output information. The output information may be applied to one or more output devices, in known fashion. For purposes of this application, a processing system includes any system that has a processor, such as, for example, a digital signal processor (DSP), a micro-controller, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or a microprocessor.
The programs may be implemented in a high level procedural or object oriented programming language to communicate with a processing system. The programs may also be implemented in assembly or machine language, if desired. In fact, the invention is not limited in scope to any particular programming language. In any case, the language may be a compiled or interpreted language.
The programs may be stored on a storage media or device (e.g., hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, read only memory (ROM), CD-ROM device, flash memory device, digital versatile disk (DVD), or other storage device) readable by a general or special purpose programmable processing system, for configuring and operating the processing system when the storage media or device is read by the processing system to perform the procedures described herein. Embodiments of the invention may also be considered to be implemented as a machine-readable storage medium, configured for use with a processing system, where the storage medium so configured causes the processing system to operate in a specific and predefined manner to perform the functions described herein.
An example of one such type of processing system is shown in FIG. 1. Sample system 100 may be used, for example, to execute the processing for methods in accordance with the present invention, such as the embodiment described herein. Sample system 100 is representative of processing systems based on the microprocessors available from Intel Corporation, although other systems (including personal computers (PCs) having other microprocessors, engineering workstations, set-top boxes and the like) may also be used. In one embodiment, sample system 100 may be executing a version of the WINDOWS.TM. operating system available from Microsoft Corporation, although other operating systems and graphical user interfaces, for example, may also be used.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a system 100 of one embodiment of the present invention. The computer system 100 includes central processor 102, graphics and memory controller 104 including graphics device 106, memory 108 and display device 114. Processor 102 processes data signals and may be a complex instruction set computer (CISC) microprocessor, a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessor, a very long instruction word (VLIW) microprocessor, a process implementing a combination of instruction sets, or other processor device, such as a digital signal processor, for example. Processor 102 may be coupled to common bus 112 that transmits data signals between processor 102 and other components in the system 100. FIG. 1 is for illustrative purposes only. The present invention can also be utilized in a configuration including a discrete graphics device.
Processor 102 issues signals over common bus 112 for communicating with memory 108 or graphics and memory controller 104 in order to manipulate data as described herein. Processor 102 issues such signals in response to software instructions that it obtains from memory 108. Memory 108 may be a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device, a static random access memory (SRAM) device, or other memory device. Memory 108 may store instructions and/or data represented by data signals that may be executed by processor 102, graphics device 106 or some other device. The instructions and/or data may comprise code for performing any and/or all of the techniques of the present invention. Memory 108 may also contain software and/or data. An optional cache memory 110 may be used to speed up memory accesses by the graphics device 106 by taking advantage of its locality of access. In some embodiments, graphics device 106 can offload from processor 102 many of the memory-intensive tasks required for rendering an image. Graphics device 106 processes data signals and may be a complex instruction set computer (CISC) microprocessor, a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessor, a very long instruction word (VLIW) microprocessor, a process implementing a combination of instruction sets, or other processor device, such as a digital signal processor, for example. Graphics device 106 may be coupled to common bus 112 that transmits data signals between graphics device 106 and other components in the system 100, including render cache 110 and display device 114. Graphics device 106 includes rendering hardware that among other things writes specific attributes (e.g. colors) to specific pixels of display 114 and draw complicated primitives on display device 114. Graphics and memory controller 104 communicates with display device 114 for displaying images rendered or otherwise processed by a graphics controller 104. Display device 114 may comprise a computer monitor, television set, flat panel display or other suitable display device.
Memory 108 stores a host operating system that may include one or more rendering programs to build the images of graphics primitives for display. System 100 includes graphics device 106, such as a graphics accelerator that uses customized hardware logic device or a co-processor to improve the performance of rendering at least some portion of the graphics primitives otherwise handled by host rendering programs. The host operating system program and its host graphics application program interface (API) control the graphics device 106 through a driver program.
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment 120 of a graphics device including a graphics-binning engine 120, vertex buffers 150 including first buffer 152 including only vertex X and Y data, graphics-rendering engine 136 and bins 128. FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment 160 of various screen objects implemented on a zone rendering system 120 (shown in FIG. 2) is illustrated. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a screen object to be presented on the display screen is broken down into graphics primitives 162. Primitives 162 may include, but are not limited to, graphical objects such as polygons (e.g., triangles and quadrilaterals), lines, points and vectors. The graphics engine 106 is implemented to render, or draw, the graphics primitives 162 that represent a view of one or more screen objects being represented on the display screen. In zone rendering, a screen is subdivided into an array of zones 164 commonly screen-space rectangles although other geometric variants may be used as well. Each zone 164 is associated with a bin. Each bin 128 includes a chained series of command buffers 134 stored within non-contiguous physical memory pages. The bins 128 are thus preferably implemented as a chain of independent physical pages.
When a primitive 162 intersects a zone 164, the corresponding primitive instruction is placed in the bin 128 associated with the zone 164 intersected. Per-zone instruction bins 128 are thus used to hold primitive instructions and state-setting instructions required to render each sub-image and are generated by comparing the screen-space extent of each primitive 162 to the array of zones 164. Thus, as the primitives 162 are received, the present invention determines which zone(s) 164 each primitive 162 intersects, and replicates the primitive instructions into a bin 128 associated with each of these zones 164.
The process of assigning primitives (and their attributes) 162 to zones 164 is referred to as binning. "Bin"128 refers to the abstract buffer used for each zone—where a bin 128 will typically be realized as a series of instruction batch buffers 134. Binning performs the necessary computations to determine what primitives 162 lie in what zones 164 and can be performed by dedicated hardware and/or software implementations.
In one typical implementation, a driver 122 writes out a set of primitive instructions to be parsed by the graphics-binning engine 126. In particular, the information necessary for primitive binning is stored in vertex buffers 150, which includes first buffer 152 and second buffer 154. As discussed in detail below, first buffer 150 stores vertex X and Y data, while second buffer 154 contains the remainder of the vertex data. For each zone 164 intersected by a primitive 162, the graphics-binning engine writes corresponding primitive instructions into buffers 134 associated with the zones 164 intersected. Given the split vertex buffers 152 and 154, graphics binning-engine 126 is now permitted to read and cache only vertex screen X and Y data from first buffer 150. Some primitives 162 will intersect more than one zone 164, in which case the primitive instruction is replicated in bins 128 corresponding to the intersected zones 164. For example, the lightning bolt depicted in FIG. 3 intersects nine zones 164. This process is continued until the entire scene is sorted into bins 128.
Referring to FIG. 2, in a typical implementation, a graphics primitive and state-setting instruction stream, referred to as a scene input list 124, is initially applied to graphics-binning engine ring buffer 125 associated with graphics-binning engine 126. The scene input list 124 may be a single, temporally-ordered scene description as received by the application programming interface (API). Graphics-binning engine 126 is typically implemented as a hardware binning engine (HWB) 126. One skilled in the art will recognize that a software or software plus hardware binner could be used as well. The graphics-binning engine 126 parses scene input list 124 and determines which zone(s) 164 each primitive 162 intersects.
As previously noted, the zones 164 are associated with bins 128. Graphics-binning engine 126 compares the screen-space extent of each primitive 162 to the array of zones 164, and replicates the associated primitive commands into corresponding bins 128. Bins 128 are comprised of chained series of command buffers 134 typically stored within non-contiguous physical memory pages. A bin list is a list of buffers 134 which comprise each bin 132. Pages are initially allocated to the bin memory pool (BMP) 140. The bin pointer list 130 is initialized with the page numbers of the pages and stores write pointers into each bin list 132.
The graphics-binning engine 126 also maintains the current graphics state by parsing associated state-setting instructions contained with the scene input list 124. Prior to placing a primitive command in any given bin 128, the graphics-binning engine 126 typically precedes the primitive command in the bin 128 with any required state-setting instructions.
After the scene input list 124 has been completely parsed, the associated bins (i.e. bin 0, bin 1 . . . bin n−1) are ready to be used by the graphics-rendering engine 136 to render the scene. As discussed in detail below, instructions are included at the end of the scene input list 124 to cause the graphics-binning engine 126 to increment the register in pending scene counter 148 by one and initiate rendering of the binned scene. For example, graphics-binning engine 126 sends a render instruction to graphics-rendering engine ring buffer 157 associated with graphics-rendering engine 136 via path 156.
Once all the primitives 162 are sorted and the command structures completed, a second pass is made to render the scene one zone 164 at a time. Following the first pass of building a bin for each zone 164 intersected by a primitive 162, a second zone-by-zone rendering pass is performed. In particular, the bins 128 for all the zones 164 are rendered to generate the final image, with each scene rendered one zone 164 at a time. The order with which the zones 164 are rendered is typically not significant. All bins 128 associated with primitives 162 that touch pixels within a particular zone 164 are rendered before the next zone 164 is rendered. A single primitive 162 may intersect many zones 164, thus requiring multiple replications. As a result, primitives 162 that intersect multiple zones 164 are rendered multiple times (i.e. once for each zone 164 intersected).
Rendering performance improves as a result of the primitives 162 being sorted by their intersection with zones 164 that are aligned to the render cache 110. Since the graphics device 106 is only working on a small portion of the screen at a time (i.e. a zone 164), it is able to hold the frame buffer contents for the entire zone 164 in a render cache 110. The dimensions of the zone 164 are typically a constant tuned to the size and organization of the render cache 110. It is by this mechanism that the render cache 110 provides optimal benefits—reuse of cached data is maximized by exploiting the spatial coherence of a zone 164. Through use of the zone rendering mode, only the minimum number of color memory writes need be performed to generate the final image one zone 164 at a time, and color memory reads and depth memory reads and writes can be minimized or avoided altogether. Use of the render cache 110 thus significantly reduces the memory traffic and improves performance relative to a conventional renderer that draws each primitive completely before continuing to the next primitive.
FIG. 4 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment 170 of a primitive command with variable vertex count. Embodiments of the present invention provide for efficient object storage for zone rendering. In particular, similar, contiguous primitives to be stored as a single primitive in the zone rendering bins. To enable this, the primitive packet used in the bin is allowed to vary in length and the currently open type of primitive is recorded on a per-bin basis.
The requirement for an explicit vertex count in the object instruction header is eliminated. Instead, a special code is used to specify a variable number of subsequent indices. A special index value of 0xFFFF is reserved to terminate the vertex index sequence. With this mechanism, the hardware is able to start outputting (and possibly replicating) primitive commands into bin lists on the fly without requiring the buffering of the entire primitive. Given the variable nature of the primitive instruction, multiple similar/sequential primitives can be concatenated using a single primitive command header. This reduces the bandwidth and footprint overhead caused by separate primitive instruction headers.
FIG. 5 illustrates a diagram of an embodiment 180 of information stored in a bin pointer list. In order to permit the concatenation of object vertex indices across primitives, the currently open type of primitive (POINTLIST, LINELIST, TRILIST, RECTLIST, or NOT_OPEN) is recorded on a per-bin basis in order to detect changes in primitive type. This information is stored in the bin pointer as illustrated in FIG. 5.
Having now described the invention in accordance with the requirements of the patent statutes, those skilled in the art will understand how to make changes and modifications to the present invention to meet their specific requirements or conditions. Such changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as set forth in the following claims.

Bhut Jolika
I planted some Bhut Jolika seeds late December 2012, phoned Sean on a regular basis wanting to know why my seeds were not germinating. As stated on the website, these are difficult seeds to germinate which was confirmed when doing my own research on the web. After two weeks I closed my Tupperware container where the seeds trays were in and decided to give it up as a bad job and order a new batch of seeds. On 20 Feb 2013 I decided to open the container to clean it out to prepare for my new batch, to my surprise I was greeted by 20 one inch seedlings, two months after planting, fantastic. I myself work with customers but never have I met anyone as patient a Sean. Thanks Again, I will always support you.Daan Wentzel Pretoria Gauteng

Have planted your garlic two years running and have been able to keep us 'in garlic' for the entire year' even with the passing on to friends just so that they can taste the difference between your garlic and the shop bought stuff! Even the smell is totally different...I love it!!
Sue Windsor
Thank you
Thank you very much, it is fantastic that there are people like you who care so much for the good way of life. It is a rare quality.
Excellent service
Was I impressed with living seeds!! Even after their misfortune after the storm, they managed to replace a wrong order with all the seedlings I originally ordered and even included seeds from the previous order as well as extra seeds!Well done - I will surely buy my seeds/seedlings ONLY from you!
karlien Raubenheimer
Love love love your site! Last year we tried our hand at growing a big variety of heirloom veg (especially tomatoes) and some white oyster mushrooms... What a success everything was! I ordered some sprouting seeds for the first time last week friday, and by this week thursday I already have sprouts that I can eat!!! What a great turnaround time ;-) keep up the good work!
Emile Theart
Livingseeds.co.za and Selfsustainable.co.za has become 2 of my most visited sites. I've ordered 3 batches of seeds and the service has always been of the highest standard. The addition of the seed Info bar is a game changer and like Anna Mouton I find myself picking up the catalogue again and again.I firmly believe that heirloom seeds and micro/urban food cultivation is the only way to create sustainable and long lasting food security.Thanks to Sean and the entire LivingSeeds team.
Emile Theart
Black Zebra Tomatos
I bought seedlings from you for Black Zebra tomatoes and a few other varieties. They grew in leaps and bounds once transplanted and I am extremely pleased with the resulting fruit, which is beautiful to behold and delicious to eat. I highly recommend your seedlings, which are obviously grown with love and then packed and shipped with great care. Thank you for delightful products and excellent service.
Gina Hall
Great service
I am not a big user at the moment but will become one now that I am on a farm. Would like to say that I have all ways had good and friendly service. Thankyou Everall
E Taljaard
Great Service
I placed two separate orders and asked that the second be shipped with the first. The second order contained only one packet of seed. The order was delivered, but the seed from the second order was not included. I decided that I'm not going to make a fuss about it and did not even contact Living Seeds but a few days later a second delivery arrived with the one packet of seed! Great service!
Livingseeds has made life more to live
We are so enjoying our vege-garden life. Tossed out the fruit trees that were not performing much in our garden for 20 years and started the veges in May this year (2015).Everything is an exciting experience. Some are great others need refinement by ourselves, our soil, our sun, our watering, our composting, etc etc etc ….. but that which produces …. so rewarding.Ordered our 3rd lot and waiting with expectant anticipation.Thank you Sean and all at Livingseeds, making life a growing joy. Especially for this 60'something non-gardening granny. And yes, your catalogue reads like a novel. xx

Non-green fingered people can garden too!
I finally realized that I can be a gardener too, thanks to the great team @ livingseeds. If you have not bought the autumn/winter package for beginners, then do it now. My winter veggies are well on their way already! And my neighbours who received a package from me, used it to have bonding time with their toddler. As for the more exotic stuff - that is so much fun! I cannot tell you how many people are totally amazed at the interesting things growing in my garden, eg. jelly melons. I probably will never buy seeds anywhere else again.
Hantie de Beer
Budding Gardeners
Thanks to livingseeds.co.za my family have become enthusiastic gardeners. We, kids included, always look forward to receiving our orders and getting the seeds going and the excitement of seeing the first little leaves pop up causes a lot of competition amongst us at home :-) We have successfully harvested our own crops and are now eating veggies that we previously never liked - but if we grow them, we eat them - that's the rule. Thank you for helping my family enjoy our garden and for introducing us to a whole range of edibles that we would not have previously bought. Well done on a superb product!
Dayan du Plooy
Excited to start sprouting!
I ordered the sprouting system and some extra seeds over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised to receive my parcel on Tuesday morning! My kids eat sprouts (almost) like sweets and we are excited to start growing our own. Five stars for Livingseeds' service and a great product, and an effective courier partner too! PS. Love the catalogue also :-)
Susan Benade
1st time customer
Well, I ordered Sweet Potatoes and Black Popcorn on the 18th Nov, and exactly 2 days later, I received my order at the door. I am very impressed by delivery time. This extends over into customer care and general efficiency.When I received my Sweet Potato (Which I pride myself with), I planted it immediately. As I'm typing this testimony, today being Nov 20th, I've just finished watering them, and by the looks of things, it might rain hard as well.I certainly look forward to buying more seeds from Living Seeds in the very near future. My garden is far from complete.Thank You to everybody who is The Living Seeds staff.
Ayanda Mkhonza
I love Livingseeds!
I am so impressed with the quality of seeds, and your extensive collection of seeds. Love the catalog and will be placing another order soon!
Belinda Coram
Best service and selection!
I just love your chilli/pepper collection! Keep the hot ones coming!And thank you for the super, super service. This is definitely my go-to seed store.Warm regards, Chantelle
Chantelle Kerr
Excellent process
First of all, accepting Bitcoin as a method of payment is absolutely superb & innovative! Ordered 30 products, delivery arrived a day and a half later. Expeditious & totally effortless, cant wait to start planting :-)
Casper du Plessis
Tomato seedlings
Fantastic service!!! Delivery one day after order, seedlings arrived in perfect shape. Can't wait to get them into the ground this evening!
Pietro Petrini
Great service once again
My second order of seedlings and seeds arrived in excellent condition once again. We cannot keep up with the abundance of the previous lot, so naturally I ordered even more for summer! I look forward to the variety of tomatoes and a few veggies and melons I've not tried before. My gardener has a side business supplying chillies from only two bushes, so I'm keen to see what would happen with the new varieties I ordered. Once again, I love the variety Living Seeds has and their wonderful service. Well done guys!
Kristene Smuts
Catalogue for bedtime reading
I have been impressed with everything about Livingseeds since the first time I discovered their website. However, their catalogue takes the Livingseeds experience to a whole new level. It is outstanding. I found myself reading it with happy anticipation of future vegetable growing. Thanks to Sean and his team!
Anna Mouton
I bought some garlic from you two years ago and have enjoyed two excellent harvests. Really good stuff Thanks
don currie
Wow! Good Service!
Only ordered my reduced special price Sprouting System yesterday and hey presto, it has arrived already!! Blown away by your service!! (Took less than 24 hours to arrive). I've always wanted to order seeds online (from the USA) but now realise that local is lekker (and better at it) ;). Keep up the good work, as soon as Winter is over, will be ordering more seeds. You've renewed my enthusiasm. Thank you for the positive experience.
Carey Thomas
Thanks Thanks Thanks
Hey Sean, thank you for what you do Livingseeds is a resource that we rely on for great seeds and service to match.We have consistently found that your seeds have a higher germination than any others that we have bought locally.Keep up the good work, we need you.

Vir die beste diens,aflewering,verpakking en saad kwaliteit sal ek "Livingseeds" enige tyd enige plek aanbeveel!Ek het 3 pakkies ghost chillies bestel,geplant en sonder moeite sit ek met baie nuwe plantjies.Ek het by ander plekke ook bestel en niemand kon naby julle uitstekende diens en kwaliteit kom nie!Baie dankie ek wardeur!Pieter Pretoria
Yay - Successful potatoes
After loosing 90% of my potatoes to moles every year I planted my Living Seeds potatoes in my old dogfood bags and really looked after them. The tops have all died down and I can harvest each bag as I need them for myself I have just unearthed my third bag. What a joy to find plump healthy potatoes again in each bag. Living seeds advice as to how to harvest them when the skins are firm and not washing them all immediately is something I would never have been aware of.
Growing the way nature intended
Livingseeds is a blessing to all of us sick and tired of boring,nutrient depleted and tasteless food.The live seedling are amazing, I am now growing herbs and chilies that would have been near impossible to grow on my own.If every home grew just a few veggies we would all be healthier and benefit from huge savings.Stuart Grossi Pietermaritzburg
Giant Garlic
Every year with out fail I purchase garlic cloves & everytime have 100% success. Making oil from the cloves is a wow factor as it does not compare to any of the branded products available, the aroma & taste is supreme. I do not want to slice & dice as feel that I loose much of the unique flavor. Plus the aroma makes like an addict in the kitchen, hogging what I have sown. Its the only plant I would plant how ever need greens in the garden too...
Growing Side by Side
Our move to a the country six years ago coincided with reading about living and eating ethically, seasonally and locally and my discovery of Living Seeds. Thank you for helping to make it possible for us to follow our dream of living as self sufficiently and sustainably as we can. Living Seeds have been there every step of the way with your predictably reliable seeds and exciting varieties of heirloom options. I have found your personal touch through emails, newsletters, online advice and now the catalogue such a source of helpful information on this journey. As I have grown from a place of complete city ignorance to almost completely living off the veggies we grow it has also been a delight to see your business grow into something that we South Africans can truly be proud of.
Cath Wood
Christmas in February!
I received my first parcel with seedlings today and unpacking them was like unwrapping a beautifully wrapped gift! Your packaging is really phenomenal and my seedlings arrived strong and healthy! They will be going to the garden tomorrow morning just after 6AM!I think you have created a little addict in me because I just checked if you do not perhaps have new seedlings I can buy. Hiehie!
Thank you
If the country was run the way Livingseeds is run, we would all be living in paradise. Thank you for your diligence and superb service. I can't get enough of Livingseeds.co.za. Can't wait for all of the new varieties you spoke of in this month's newsletter. Be blessed.
Emile van Coller
Excellent service
Every order I have placed was delivered correctly and in very short period of time. The produce from these seeds were of very good quality. Will not purchase any other seed ever again!!!
Alida Pretorius
Thank you - GREAT service!
Thank you so much for the wonderful service. My seedlings arrived in good condition and I can't wait to start eating. Wonderful to see such service in this day and age.
Kristene Smuts
Spectacular information and service
We are just absolutely flabbergasted...our 1st ever parcel arrived on Monday and boy were we surprised!!! All I can say is "Well Done!" Your packaging and information you provide with your seeds have FAR exceeded our expectations! We are looking forward to ordering from you again!! Now, off to plant those seeds ;-)
Great Service
This was my first purchase from you and I would like to commend you on your website and your service and have been recommending Living Seeds to my friends and family. Will gladly use Living Seeds for future seed purchases.
Eugene S
YES! Livingseeds can now ship heirloom seedlings.
Once again, another South African first from your favourite Heirloom Seed company.
Buying your own heirloom seedlings is the perfect solution for a number of gardeners.
1) The gardener that wants to have an instant garden.
2) You are a spot late in the season to start your garden from seed.
3) You find that growing from seed is difficult.
4) You would prefer to buy the more difficult seeds to germinate, as seedlings.
5) We supply far too many seed varieties, and you would prefer 1 or 2 plants of many varieties.
6) You want to eat healthily, but don't have the time to plant seed.
Livingseeds has developed a method of shipping live seedlings via courier.
After extensive research and trials we are now able to offer you a limited selection of heirloom vegetables as seedlings.
We will not be offering our complete range as seedlings and will only grow out certain varieties.
What we have on offer is what is currently available, unfortunately we will not be growing on request. We have started off with a small range of brassicas, and our summer crops (tomatoes, chillies, brinjals etc will be available in the next few weeks.
So this is how it works. PLEASE READ this.
Every week, we will have a list of seedlings available on our website. We anticipate that this will change every 2-3 weeks as seedlings are sold out and new ones are added. Please note that we are unable to 'hold' seedling orders over, they are growing plants and we have a window that must be used when selling them.
These seedlings are sold in single units, to allow you to mix and match the seedlings that you desire, in the quantities that you desire.
The seedlings will be planting ready, and will not be forced into premature flower or otherwise manipulated. They will need to be in the ground within 24-48 hours of you receiving them. So please make sure that your garden is ready to accept them.
How the charges work.
There are two charges on seedlings. The first a seedling cost and then there is a separate packing charge.
12 Seedlings fit perfectly into one of our boxes. You can mix and match any number of seedlings as you wish, just bear in mind that for the most cost effective order on seedlings, it works in 12's.
Please note that depending on your location, we may not ship on a Thursday or Friday to ensure that your seedlings do not spend the weekend in a dark box.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to give us a call.
Lastly, Please note, that we do not grow seedlings on request, so please bear that in mind.

text: Compliance Regulations: What's Happened and What's Coming May 1, 2013 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Retirement plan sponsors have been dealing with several regulatory initiatives in the past year and more are coming. By PLANSPONSOR staff firstname.lastname@example.com | May 01, 2013 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article Stephen M. Saxon, partner at Groom Law Group, started his session at the 42nd Annual Retirement & Benefits Management Seminar by reminding attendees that in October 2010, the Department of Labor (DOL) proposed to amend regulations defining who is an Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) fiduciary by reason of providing investment advice. The proposal would have significantly broadened the number of individuals who could be deemed ERISA fiduciaries by eliminating the requirements that advice must be provided on a "regular basis" and with a "mutual understanding" that the advice would be the primary basis for plan investment decisions. The DOL retracted its proposal, but is expected to issue a new proposal in 2013. Saxon said Groom expects the proposal will include numerous exemptions in an attempt to harmonize the re-proposal with longstanding DOL exemptions. In connection with its re-proposal, the agency requested comment about whether advice given to participants exiting plans should be treated as investment advice.In addition, Saxon noted, a recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report raised concerns about participants being "steered" toward certain products when making distribution decisions, and the GAO recommended the DOL and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) draft new rules to make plan-to-plan rollovers easier for participants (see "GAO Encourages Easier Plan-to-Plan Rollovers"). Saxon speculated whether this means new guidance will be coming.

Well, my turn on the sick train appears to have ended. Caught the upper respiratory bug going around the area and spent Wed and Thurs in bed (b/c in pharmacy you can only be sick on your days off), then staggered through the weekend at work. Still have a cough but ventured to the pool anyways ...
200 FR/200 BK/200 IM drill
600 Shark Swim
2 x (4 x 50 on :50 - IMO down and easy free back)
100 loosen and out
(Solo/Rec/1700 yds/30 min)
Breathing was better than expected, but lack of feel in the water was right where I thought it would be. Planning to take it easy this week and get back into the groove of things.
I enjoyed a really fun practice with the PCST masters on Saturday. We had 11 swimmersapparently a near-record for a masters workout at this pool! It was a warm sunny morning, and there was a nice sense of camaraderie as we did the following workout:
350 scy warmup [There was something longer, but I cut this short so I could start the set with two swim buddies in the next lane.]
200 pull w/ paddles @ 3:00
2 x 100 kick @ 2:00 [officially with fins, but I didnt have any]
4 x 50 with all equipment @ :55
6 x 75 (k/s/s) @ 1:20 [fl/bk/br/br/bk/fl]
6 x 50 d/s @ 1:00
Then, since several swimmers are headed to Auburn next weekend, we all headed to the far end of the pool for some start/turn workout. And afterwardsa 6 x 50 free relay race! It was a fun morning.
(And today's blog title? That was the coach's way of checking that we had understood one of the above sets. I like this team!)
Unfortunately, I tweaked my lower back on one of my starts. The acute pain lasted just a few minutes, but Ive been having dull achiness ever since, and am still moving around gingerly.
This afternoon instead of heading back to the pool I opted for a swim in the gulf. It was a nice sunny day, with air temps in the low 60s, and water temp about the same (its warmed up quickly in the recent warm weather). I was in for about an hour, swimming back and forth along the stretch of beach where the depth is sufficient to swim on the near side of the sandbar. There was a bit of surf, enough to make the water bumpy, which at first felt uncomfortable with my back, but either it loosened up or I got blissy enough as the swim went along that I forgot about it.
There was some current today and some wind, enough to make it noticeably more difficult going east, then easy and fast going west. Every now and again I would turn over and do a few strokes of backstroke, just to admire the sky and catch a glimpse of the happy snowbirds strolling along on the beach. (Afterwards a couple told me the sight of me swimming had prompted them to get outside for a beach walk!) When I finally decided I had had enough, I got out and warmed in the sun for awhile on my beach, then headed up to the hot tub for a nice relaxing soak. Im definitely enjoying the cushy OW swimming life here!

First swim since friday, had reserve weekend with no time available. If it wasn't for the mild financial buffer that comes with it, I would have retired years ago (I am an E6 with 25 year's combined AD and res).

My daughter had to go to an emergency care hospital last night as a result of running a fever and generally feeling quite sick. She had a 102F fever and was diagnosed with strep throat. My son woke this morning complaining of a sore throat so I suspect we will all end up with it in the next week.
I woke tired but no sore throat this morning. Today's workout was really tough and I was very tired when we were finished. As a result of sick kids I had to postpone my sit down with Tom to work on our training plan. Its hard to believe its only 26 weeks until worlds. We rescheduled our meeting until Friday.
Warm up
400 swim with snorkel
6x50 catchup on 45
Main set
8x500 swum as 2x(500 pull, 500 over kick, 500 negative split, 500 AFAP) on 5.50
10x50 kick on 1min
Warm down
100 double arm back
Total 5300scy
This is a lot of yardage in 70 minutes and with the 500s on 1.10 pace it was a high threshold day. I went 5.25, 5.30,5.25,5.10, 5.20,5.25,5.20,5.07. I swam all of these with paddles and 1 and 5 with pull bouy.
We have had a few people ask to swim on our team at worlds and I found out over the weekend that it takes 60 days to reregister for another team meaning that it's not possible to reregister after nationals ahead of the 1st June registration deadline for worlds. This is a shame because people who don't have a team at worlds won't be able to do relays and it seemed joining a larger team would be a win win, but alas the timing does not work.
Today I had to circle swim with 2 slower individuals but I do have to admit they were ok with me passing down the middle of the lane and they looked for me at the walls and did not leave in front of me, just before my interval.
This weekend I had to find some of my old cloths, size 12's. Why is it a few weeks back all I could find were size 12's that I couldn't fit in but now that I can, all I can find are size 14's. It's like they all hid from me in my closet!

Had more car issues yesterday at Pitt. Had to drive my rear wheel drive car with my other car out of commission. Got stuck in the ice and had to call AAA. Made me late to dinner. Today, I didn't feel the greatest and kinda muddled through the workout. Still did 800 yards of AFAP/race pace work and the bursts. Nothing to sneeze at.
Just as I was beginning to recover somewhat from the flu I caught a nasty stomach bug that knocked me flat on my back for about 24 hours. Friday Morning I had packed my bag and was looking forward to an afternoon swim at the Y on my way home from work. The swim bag never made it out of the car. I left work early Friday afternoon and went straight to bed, then bathroom, then bed, then bathroom, then bed, then... well, you get the idea. My stomach felt a little better by Saturday morning, but I could barely stand I was so weak. Spent most of the day going to the kitchen, trying to find something bland enough for my stomach to handle, and then crawling back upstairs to the bedroom to sleep it off. Rinse, repeat.
Am out and about today... feel fairly normal, but I'm not swimming today and am spending the afternoon getting caught up on all the stuff I needed to get done Friday afternoon and yesterday. Sigh. This puts another big dent in my training. It just hasn't been my season so far!

Not a great swim. I was hoping to be under 5:00 on this swim. I think this week of workouts combined with a less than ideal "recovery day" (see AM practice above) and the fact that I forgot a competition suit (so I was sporting a heavy mesh drag suit) meant I was sluggish the whole race. I just couldn't get into 5th gear and get going.
1000 assorted warm down (fin kick, pull, drill, etc.)
Total: 4500
Thursday afte practice I felt so bad I decided to work from home. By the end of the day I felt a little better. My throat was sore and I felt very tired and achy. Late Thursday we got an inch of snow which caused the schools to be shut on Friday and as result the school district closed the aquatic center, so no practice yesterday.
Today I felt much better and actually had one of the best nights sleep I have had in some time. I did my normal Saturday routine which is the only day I include a coffee before I swim. I had a very good practice today and we focused on mid distance quality oriented sets.
Warm up
400 free with snorkel

4x50 Free relay
Warm down
200 easy
Total 4050scy
I felt good today. The 500s I did the first 500 with paddles and went 5.20 and negative split by 5. The second I focused on the over kick and went 5.40 and the AFAP I went 5.10 and also negative split the 500. The next set I held 1.10s on the IMs and then went 2.20,2.10,1.58,2.17,2.09,1.57 and felt strong. After finishing the set I was pretty winded and was told to hop out and do a relay. The relay in the next lane to me was about 10m ahead coming into my leg and the guy in the next lane is a former masters world champion(scot carpenter) and I could not resist doing a really big flier so went in enough time ahead of the guy in my lane so that I went in with Scot. I think I caught him by surprise because I took a body length on the first 25 and then went away on the second 25. Despite not liking to cheat I could not resist

I had a very blissy swim in the gulf today. Yesterdays steady rain was gone, and the day was brilliantly sunny. By noon, the overnight freezing temps had warmed up to the low 50s, and water temps were in the mid-50s. A strong north wind tamped down the waves, leaving just ripples on the surface. The tide was high, making the water deep enough to swim on the near side of the first sandbar. I ended up swimming back and forth along a 300m stretch of beach, staying in for about 30 minutes. The water was very clear, but there wasnt much to seeI encountered one jellyfish, white with pale yellow tentacles, that was floating about 3 feet under the surface, and a small white fish that swam by underneath me.
It was very peaceful out in the water. I did some backstroke, ducking my head entirely under the water to see the ripples on the surface, then turning back over for some freestyle, where I watched the rippled sand beneath me. Swimming along was as easy as in a pool, with no current or waves to speak of. It was a lot different from a couple of days ago, when I got in just to play in the surf, and let the waves rock me around as I floated on the surface.

Woke up this morning with another nagging shoulder pain. It's not on the front side of the shoulder like most swimmers tend to get, my pain is on the back/outside edge of the shoulder joint. Not sure what exactly, but it doesn't really hurt to swim (after the initial 200 or so of warmup. Backstroke is the only thing that bugs it in the pool, so I just avoid that (no real changes in my practices) I'm sure it's something related to all the work I've been doing lately.

After a few days of very warm temperatures, todays windy, 37-degree predawn air reminded me how much I love my swim parka. I smiled at the steam coming off the pool as I drove up this morning for the PCST masters practice. The coach looked chilly on deck, so I let her keep my parka warm as I jumped into the pool for the following:
600 lcm warmup (300s, 300k)
2x thru:
4 x 100 FR fast @ 2:30
4 x 50 non-FR fast @ 1:30
[I went 1:24/25 on most of theseI was consistent if not fastand a 44 on my best 50 back. It was nice having a workoutmate in the next lane to swim withI postponed 2 of my first set of 50s til the end of the set so that we could swim together on the second round, and we both ended up going a little faster.]
That was it for the team workout. I stuck around in the now-otherwise-empty pool and did the following on my own:
400 pull with paddles
3 x magic 700 [free w/back, IM w/free, fr w/ kick]
400 pull with paddles
200 IM kick
100 warmdown + play
It was quite windyI had trouble keeping my pool toys at the end of the laneand with the wind and pool directions almost perfectly aligned, I enjoyed seeing how different strokes felt going with the wind vs going against it. When kicking freestyle with a board, the spray from my feet was blown against my head and neckkind of a neat sensation. By the time I left a few other swimmers had come, which was a good thingI had felt guilty watching the guards look cold, and knowing that they could have hung out inside if I hadnt been there. They used to have little guard houses poolside that they used on cold days (just clear vinyl hung around guard chairs), but theyre not there this year.

Oak Park and River Forest High School will adopt a warehouse solution to manage data, analytics and reports.
The district has partnered with DecisionED, whose solution uses the "IBM Cognos platform for delivery of dashboards and reports," according to a news release.
"We are excited about the ways in which the data warehouse will accelerate and expand our ability to make meaning from the vast amount of student data we collect," said Amy V. Hill, director of assessment and research at the district, in a prepared statement. "We look forward to the ways administrators and teachers will use the data warehouse reports and features to more effectively identify and meet students' needs. We also hope to put the tools to excellent use in analysis, decision-making, and monitoring as we implement a new strategic plan."
Founded in 1873, Oak Park and River Forest High School is a single-school district located nine miles from downtown Chicago.

Wisdom from the Ancients by Thomas J. Figueira
Book DescriptionAncient Greece, the culture that brought us democracy, philosophy, comedy and tragedy, and the Olympic Games, and ancient Rome, best known for its military prowess, technological achievements, and imperial administration, are justly renowned for their contributions to Western civilization. Wisdom from the Ancients brings alive for today's managers the timeless insights of such larger-than-life figures as Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Trajan, Pericles, and dozens of other colorful and enigmatic leaders. Through direct quotations of ancient texts, engaging commentary, and period art, the authors illuminate the strategies and tactics that have withstood the test of time-from leadership and delegation to managing conflict to effective and persuasive communication.

It seemed almost unfair that James Morrison returned from a four-year hiatus to a scene dominated by soulful singer/songwriter guitarists (Ed Sheeran, James Bay, Hozier) and blue-eyed soul crooners (Sam Smith, John Newman). His sound was perfect for the moment, but he had to contend with younger upstarts who have amply filled the niche he left after 2011's The Awakening. Morrison's fourth album, Higher Than Here, is a comforting collection of soul-folk tunes that is pleasing and enjoyable. Much like Morrison himself, the songs are likable. His voice still carries that gorgeous, husky grit, so full of smoky soul and yearning, most expertly executed on "Stay Like This" and "Just Like a Child." Elsewhere, he ventures into some OneRepublic/Script territory with the catchy hip-pop lead single "Demons." However, it's a pair of surprising album highlights that lift Higher Than Here to another plane. The rousingly defiant "Right Here" is reminiscent of the best uptempo tracks on Adele's 21 and Sam Smith's debut, while the glimmering disco of "I Need You Tonight" (co-written with Mark Taylor and Paul Barry, the duo responsible for Enrique Iglesias' "Bailamos" and "Hero," as well as Cher's Auto-Tune smash "Believe") has all the trappings of a sure-fire hit. With these uptempo jams, Morrison forges a new musical pathway for himself, which his voice can surely carry. ~ Neil Z. Yeung

Hi Everyone,
I've been away in QLD for work, been lurking instead of posting
EO- the potions are going good, 2 weeks into them now. I had a phone call from the Aim people who own the products ('cos I bought the whole 3 months supply & spent a fortune!), and I've been taking them wrong! I was mixing all 4 powders in the one drink, but apparantly I should be having the Garden Trio 30min before brekky and the Herbal Fibreblend 30min before dinner. Is that how you did it? Lol at your DH doing it as a shot, I think that would be worse because the texture would be thick & grainy, eww! Yay for going with medicated FET, so great you will have some certainty for the next cycle . Happy googling! And hurry up AF!
TTHC- enjoy your time out from BH and look forward to seeing you back when you're ready. You'll be missed!
Sticky- Thanks for all the 'inside info' you've given on the holistic program, its been awesome! Best of luck for a natural miracle on your BH break
Traveler- Thanks for asking after me. I have wondered the same thing about the Sydney air adding to our infertility woes! Your post about the KFC chips made me want some, lucky thats on my 'allowed' list . Yay for sniffing and starting a new cycle! I hope this one sees you with a bub in arms at the end
Bella- fantastic news that your FS has agreed to investigate implantation failure & karyotypes, have you had the blood drawn yet? I hope it comes back all-clear for you.
Paddlegirl- so sorry it was a BFN this time , and sorry you had to deal with it while your DH was away. I'm glad to hear you had a good support network to lean on.
Felicita- oh no, I really wished your first blastie would give you a BFP . I'm glad you're going to try the same detox program as EO & I and give it another crack in Jan. We'll be cycle buddies! Its wonderful that your marriage has grown stronger in the face of IVF, all your determination WILL pay off.
Crofty- I hope you survived the baby shower and managed to enjoy yourself. That PM sure is bizarre, she's like a woman on an anti-WFC mission! If you're happy with your treatment there, then that's all that matters. I'm sure you'll be another WFC success story with your bunch of frostybubs!
Quartz- great that your body has been re-booted and you're maintaining prog levels much better, and yay for going straight into a new FET! I have thought about PGD testing too with our next fresh cycle, we've had 7 blasties transferred now and the best result was a chem pg. SO frustrating! Starf1sh did PGD on her last cycle, so the older posts in this thread have alot of info about it.
Claire- Congrats on your confirmed BFP! Hoping that bub stays sticky and you have an easy pregnancy!
PinkB- hope you're all settled into your new place and bub is kicking up a storm!
Hi to Nat, Kelbelle, & Lola , and sorry to anyone I've missed.
AFM- As I mentioned above, been travelling for work. Fortunately my flights were not booked with Qantas! I got lucky with an audit at Burleigh Heads, gee I wished I could call in sick and veg out at the beach, the weather was fabulous. DH & I are going well at sticking to our detox and swilling our witches brew. A positive thing for us: we had a spontaneous dinner out last night at a local club, and afterwards tried our luck on the roulette machine. We won $50! So the dinner ended up costing $5
