I'm on a roll now - LOL!!
For my other SSS Stamptember card please scroll down or find it HERE
What can I say, September - STAMPTEMBER, just gets me going :P
I'm here with my latest love affair - Lawn Fawn :D
Yes, yes, yes... I know, you've all already been charmed by them. But again, if you know me... You know I'm the latest... I blaim the limited supply we have in Sweden, haha!
Anyhow, as I recently been smitten with Lawn Fawn, no wonder I also just discovered Lawnscaping challenges too :D
This week was ONE LAYER, not as easy as you may think. But I'm loving it!!
I've used the sentiments in the PLUS ONE set and teamed them with Simon says stamp BABY clear stamp to create a boarder on the card. Super pleased with the result. However, it turned out that the clear stamps were different in hight, so if you were planning to try this technique - do have an extra acrylic block nearby. This will make it easier for you, not needing to replace all the stamps every time. I then just stamped my image, coloured it quickly with (mainly) copic markers and that's it.
Go one layer!
|It is only one layer - honestly :)
But it took me four tries, before I got it right...
I will say though, that after I got it right... :)
... it was a no brainer! (Blaiming preggo-brains)
Lawnscaping challenge - one layer
SSS wednesday challenge - stamp it and blog hop
I hope you like it!!
Thank you for visiting :)
Products used on this card:
Copic markers (C0, C1, E00, R000, R01, E50)

Friday!?!? It's Friday already?
This week has slipped right by me! I've been busy with work and school and the gym!
Yes, the gym! I've been going at least 3 times a week. Last week and this week, I'm kicking it up a notch… 4 times! 🙂 Although, I won't be going today… I'm so sore! That R.I.P.P.E.D. class I blogged about last week, well, I went again this week, and it kicked my butt. Tommy even joined me. He said it was intense. He's a bit sore too. So I think I'm going to incorporate that into my routine at least once a week. I'm determined to lose some weight and tone up. It's time.
Work has got me busy. I had a good idea and now, I'm running with it. We're doing a conference with the VA Department of Veterans Services on Tuesday. It's the Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Conference and my idea was to design a program handout. So to Adobe InDesign I go… 🙂 If you or your company would like to attend this free conference, you can learn how you can hire and retain our Nation's Veterans. The Lieutenant Governor will be the Keynote address! 🙂 Register HERE.
Cookout plans tonight! Tonight we're headed over to my sorority sister's house for a lil cookout with some other sisters. Should be a good time. I'm really looking forward to it. I love summer cookouts! 🙂 (Bonus, I get to meet one of my sister's new boyfriend…that's always exciting!)
If I had planned better, I would have tested out the June Bug drink recipe from yesterday! But I don't have anything to make it and bring. 😦 Hummmm next party! 🙂
Hope ya'll have a great weekend!!!

How bad is the flu in Canada this year? According to Google search trends, it's this bad standard
If it seems like everyone around you these days has been reduced to a sniffling, shambling, sunken-eyed bag of wadded-up Kleenex and flu germs, you're not imagining things. According to Google's influenza tracking service, searches related to the virus have reached a fever pitch in Canada this season — a key indicator of regional flu activity. Using aggregated search data, the Google Flu Trends project is able to estimate current flu activity around the world in real-time. And nowhere in the world is there more flu activity right now than in the U.S. and Canada, where search activity is reaching near "intense" levels when compared to trendlines for the past six years. In the graph above, we can see that flu-related search ...Continue Reading

An Indiana senator wants to lower the state's corporate income tax from 8.5 percent to 5 percent.
Republican Sen. Brandt Hershman of Lafayette, who chairs the Senate Tax Committee, says Indiana already has a relatively low cost of doing business, but that the corporate income tax is seen as a hindrance to job creation because it is one of the highest in the Midwest. He says lowering the corporate income tax would make the state a more attractive place for companies.
Hershman told IBJ in December that he planned to file a bill to lower the corporate tax rate, but at the time was still uncertain about how much of a cut to propose.
The nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency is working to determine how much the state might lose if it lowered the tax rate. Hershman says there will be an up-front cost to the state but believes other parts of the legislation can help offset that price tag without raising taxes elsewhere.
Indiana only weighs a single factor—a company's sales—in the formula that determines the income taxes the company pays. But the state's 8.5-percent rate exceeds that of neighbors such as Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan and Wisconsin.

It's been a tough week on a lot of different layers (or levels). I went in for a crown this morning and got two, but somehow I'm not feeling lucky minus the $1000 I handed over to the thief/dentist. I am grateful for dental insurance. Work has been super busy but I was able to hire a temp for 6 months and she started Thursday - she's super with a great imagination - she said, I want to help you get "caught up". What's that? I have a sort throat and congestion, the "crud" that everyone else has. It would have been nice to stay in bed for a couple of days. Remind me to enjoy that when I retire - being able to take care of yourself when you're sick. I've had some difficulties with my Mother's care lately. She's more confused and said she couldn't live with me anymore. When I asked for a reason, she assured me it was a very good one but she just couldn't tell me right then. Funny but sad. Last night I came home after dinner with friends and she was sitting on the couch waiting for me, not sure what to do with the dogs? So I've added hours to her care-givers schedule. I need help with this.
One of my favorite things to do is lay down on her bed and she strokes my hair and we talk about everything. My brother, her brothers. Last night she talked about how much she loved living in Washington, DC and how her brother, Joe (a policeman) didn't want her to move to Chicago, so she didn't. And how her boss, Mr. Fitch told her - Miss Brinsko, the President is going to be coming by the office building later in a parade and why don't you go outside and watch and wave. She just was so shocked that he suggested "goofing off" during work hours. She tells the story of the married man asking her to dinner. She was shocked! Life in the 40s with a good Catholic girl. She had alot of trouble finding words last night, mumbling and stumbling through the conversation. I knew what she meant or wanted to say, she just had trouble lining it up and letting it leave her mouth. But the conversations are oh so sweet and gentle. I love them so much. I'm afraid of the day when we don't have them anymore. Do you think like that? Wish I didn't waste today worrying about the future. I hate that old wart, worry.
I heard a guy at the airport proclaiming all kinds of answers about marriage and relationships on my last trip. He said, some people are looking for a husband or wife to make them feel happy. But happiness is an inside job. I was swimming in a sea of happiness last night.

Darkness of Dragons (Wings of Fire Series #10)
4.4 25 5 1
NOOK Book(eBook)
Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
Qibli knows Darkstalker must be stopped. And he knows he could stop him -- if he had magic. With even a sliver of the ancient dragon's all-powerful scroll, Qibli could rewrite history the right way: end war forever; make every dragon happy; perhaps even cast a very small spell so that everyone would like him . . . Instead, as Darkstalker's dangerous influence spreads across Pyrrhia, entrancing or killing every dragon in the seven tribes, Qibli can only grasp the small animus objects he's borrowed from Turtle. With some clever thinking, Qibli's talons finally hold the power to make a difference. But prophecies are not easy to rewrite. Can Qibli be the magical force Pyrrhia needs, or will he be the one to bring Jade Mountain -- and his family, his friends, his whole world -- crashing down?

In theory, couldn't peacemaker/darkstalker put on one of quibli's earrings and return to normal darkstalker? The scrap of paper he swallowed in the strawberry with the spell on it was his on magic so if one of quibli's earrings ever found its way onto his ear then couldn't the old darkstalker be reborn?
I loved this book! It's so awesome! I can't believe what happened! Only one catch though. At the end there is this HUGE cliffhanger and there is only one possible future for this. I WILL FIND TUI AND MAKE HER PAY. The end! ?
So ... It another great book, amazing, actually and I really hope there are another five books in the making cause it totally set up for another seriese.
A terribly displeasing ending to one of my favorite series ever. I understand that Tui T. Sutherland had backed herself into a corner with the major plot holes in Talons of Power, but she only digs herself deeper. At this point, I don't think it was an accident or a poorly thought plan, just simply a bad idea executed pretty well. All things considered, I am extremely disappointed with this book, I was so connected to it, I had dreams of it, wrote fanfictions of it, was inspired by it, and its characters were always in my head…I'm not sure I will ever get over how upset I am with this. **SPOILER WARNING** If you have not read the book yet, please stop here. Firstly, it was bad enough that readers had to follow Turtle in Talons of Power, with his sadly pathetic demeanor and slow dopey train of thought, despite his obvious capabilities. But then we get a book with Qibli, whose cleverness and cunning I for one have been greatly looking forward to, only to find someone who thinks along the same lines. "Oh, woe is me, I'm useless and the world hates me…" Secondly, Tui has been showing signs of falling into the exact same pit as many other authors, something as an author I cannot stress enough- character consistency. First shown in our fleeting glimpses of our beloved characters in Talons of Power, and now given as a blast to the face here. Thirdly- and this is mostly due to Talons of Power, not inherently this book- Darkstalker's defeat was sooo…dumb. One of the unspoken laws of writing is to never, ever make any character, good or evil, all powerful because then there is no really good way to get rid of them. I mean seriously, he teleported all animus dragons all over the world to his throne room in a second (btw, where on earth is the animus enchanting in that spell?), and he supposedly made himself invulnerable to animus magic, yet both with Turtle's stick and with his defeat it didn't seem to work... Fourth- and this one is about the character pairing in the book, why the heck did Tui decide to do MoonxQibli? Although I suppose it was obvious since she announced that the last book was going to be on Qibli. And this isn't all about personal opinion! If you think about it, how many times before this book did Moon and Qibli even speak to each other, let alone exchange special looks, or were even alone together? In Winter Turning I would say that Winter and Moon had some romantically tense moments, which was very exciting to read about. On top of that, and this last part doesn't matter as much, but it is still significant, there were polls on what pair the readers wanted in several places on the internet, including Scholastic's official website, and readers voted incontestably for MoonxWinter, with the polls going at an average of 76% to 24%. **End of Spoilers** All in all, a complete flunk from my point of view, I understand that the vast majority will be happy with whatever they are given, but I'm not, I only ask for three simple things: A good story. Consistent characters. And a good ending. That's it, nothing more, I'm not asking for perfection, just decency, and although this was one of my favorite series ever, this book couldn't even nearly reach those simple standards. And for that, my 1-Star Rating.
I love these books there a great read I'd recommend to anyone.
How dare u, I wanted winterwacher, but I'm looking forward for the next series
You know, all I have to say to summarize this entire review and why it is only one star... Moonbli.
A great read, as any Wings of Fire book is! I am ecstatic that a certain relationship worked out in the end (wink wink) and of Peacemaker. Can't wait for book eleven!
The spell on Qubli's earrig ws spcific to Qubli
Tui, will there be another book to wings of fire?
Ready for anotha one?
A Great Read for Anyone who Thrives for Adventure! This book is the tenth in the Wings of Fire Series, and although you don't have to read the other 9 first, I would recommend it. This establishment in the series covers Qibli's journey to stop Darkstalker and end the war for good, (As the book description says). The book takes you into the mind of the dragon Qibli and shows you his thoughts in italics scattered throughout the book, which actually makes the flow of the book very interesting. Qibli is a dragon without magic, and yet, he is one of the only dragons that know Darkstalker's true plans to take over the continent. This book takes Qibli all over the place, from trying to protect the queen of the sand kingdom from a potential threat from another dragon, to finally facing his family. All in an effort to circle back around to help protect the known world. He also needs to do it quickly, before the ice dragons wage war on the other tribes, and potentially find out about his friend who is supposed to be dead, Winter. Overall, I believe this is a great book for anyone who is into longer books and loves a good adventure. Owen B., age 12, East Central Ohio Mensa (ECOM)
Finally the love triangle bwteen Quibli,Winter,and Moon is over? I was team Quibli.
It is a amazing series I LOVE IT!!! ?
To Jt
In my book, Wings of Fire, two dragons, a sandwing, Qibli, and an icewing, Winter, set out to save three other dragons. The problem is an entire army has been given powers by a magic dragon, Darkstalker. They go from the desert to the old knight kingdom to Jade Mountain. The only thing stopping them is Darkstalker. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fiction and adventure, because it seems real. I liked the book because a lot of my questions are answered. I also liked it because you can vividly picture the scenes in the book. Another reason I like the book is because it has a happy ending, (like most books).
Ok the book it's self was, of course amazing and it had a solution to a problem that I did not think was solvable (read Darkstalker) but the thing that ticked me off is that (spoiler alert) I've been shipping fow minter for years and Moon picked kindness over heroics and chose quilbi (I know I spelt his name wrong)! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh $!#&**%$#!***&%%!#!!$! Any way what I have to say is one I'm suprised that quilbi has a greedy side, two I think Winter took the lose a little to well considering how much he seemed to love moon in his book and three I can't shake the feeling that there might be somthing between Winter and lynx later on and four I would have never thought that the solution to the Darkstalker problem was to (nice try but you have to reed the book to get what I'm saying)!
It was an amazing book that had lots of twists and turns throughout it. I hope she makes another book so we can see what happens to that one dragon at the end! Have fun reading it because it's one of those book that is very hard to put down once you've picked it up and started reading. And yes, in this book moon finally chooses one of her admirers. Will it be winter or quibli? You'll find out when you read this book. Does anyone know if there making another one? I really hope so. Hope you enjoy it, I know I have!
I you decide to make a story put me in it . Im an animus touched rain wing who would do anything for his friends.
This book was great. Can't wait for the next arc. That cliffhanger is killing me.
WHY DARKSTALKER WAS SO AWSOME! And now he is a pathetic excuse for a dragon. Peacemaker shoulden't even be called a dragon he is more like a scaly bird. I know Darkstalker was evil but he kinda reminded me of mewtwo from pokemon the first movie
Hope you all like the book
I am shocked of what this series has come to but parents may need to moniter this book first. But this book has a sene at the end of th book in wich anenome has a crush on a female named tamerine. And anenome is a female. Yes you know what that means. There is homosexuality in a book designed for 8-12 tear olds. I am sorry but I will not finish the book nor read on in the series. Also in the sixth book umber has a crush on quibli too who are both males. I am very sorry to Tui but I will not be reading any more books in this series. :(

The response continues to be fantastic! Over 50 organizations and individuals have signed up to be part of the campaign. If you haven't signed up yet please do by clicking here.Check out our Facebook page showingupforracialjustice for all the pictures and messages people posted about what they think about stopping the school to prison pipeline and equity in education. Follow us on twitter using the hashtag #noroomforracism or at @showup4rj for the messages that people sent about the campaign. Since issues of racial justice have been under-reported by the press and left undiscussed by candidates during this electoral cycle, we are making sure to foreground racial justice in our communities. Join us! Take action for racial justice with this weeks toolkit on Getting Out and Protecting the Vote. Toolkit available below, or by clicking here: www.showingupforracialjustice.org/archives/1492. Dara, JLove, Jimmy, Z!, Cynthia and the rest of the SURJ Action Team Week #5 Get Out the Vote/Protect the Vote Toolkit No Room 4 Racism Issue at hand: Getting out & protecting the vote. All the work we've done to elevate issues of racial justice in the election conversation, all the organizing that has gone into voter education, all the voter suppression legislation we've challenged mean nothing if people don't get to the polls or are intimidated out of voting when they get there. Getting out the racial justice vote is even more important now, since Hurricane Sandy disrupted early voting in a number of states. And with such a tight presidential race, there are sure to be more cases of voter intimidation in communities of color, as there were in 2008 when President Obama was elected. Past cases of voter intimidation/obstruction noted by the Election Protection Coalition include: Voters being threatened with arrest at their polling station if they have unpaid child support or unpaid parking tickets. Misleading robocalls to African-American communities in Maryland on election day 2010 stating that there was no need to go vote because "our goals have been met" (a SURJ Action Team member received one of these calls) Fliers in Ohio and Virginia telling voters that Republicans vote on the actual election day while Democrats vote the day after. Challenges to African-American voters in Philadelphia by men carrying clipboards who drove a fleet of sedans with signs that looked like law enforcement insignia. An Ohio Republican Party plan in 2004 would have involved challengers confronting 97% of new African-American voters in one location. This is one example of a strategy to create fear, confusion and delays in voting by questioning the eligibility of a voter at a polling place before the voter is able to cast their ballot. What we can do: As white people showing up for racial justice, join us in ensuring that people of color can get to the polls and cast their votes without intimidation or obstruction.

Magic Mountain has really been stepping up their vegan game lately. The Go Fresh stand even labels the vegan items. We find plenty of vegans eats on our visits.
We recently purchased park season passes and season dining passes. With the season dining pass you get 1 lunch, 1 dinner, and 1 snack every time you visit the park (you also have the option of trading in either lunch or diner for a snack). It's a little over $80 for the whole year. You select your meals from a set list of vendors and dining options. The dining pass includes several vegan friendly snacks including jumbo pickles, chips, fries, dole whip, dipping dots, carrot sticks and whole fruit.
Vegan friendly entrees include vegan chicken strips with fries and a berry salad. I believed they have a build your own salad as well. I'm not sure about vegan dressing options but they do have packs of lemon juice (the one we make at home with our blender for green smoothies). We also realized that the loaded nachos could be made vegan friendly by omitting the cheese and sour cream (we were told previously the whole beans were meat free). For toppings you are left with whole beans, jalapeños and three kinds salsa including one with corn. Not bad for a theme park meal.
In addition to the nachos, we ordered strawberry dipping dots topped with pineapple. We also got pineapple dole whip and the vegan chicken strips on our last trip.
It's good to see more and more theme park dining options for vegans. Hopefully, this trend continues and more options are added.

Natural gas prices — like virtually every commodity — will ebb and flow over time. It is quite clear, though, that our abundant and growing resource base will help keep energy prices affordable for American consumers and businesses for decades to come.
In fact, President Obama said this during his 2013 State of the Union Address:
"After years of talking about it, we are finally poised to control our own energy future. We produce more natural gas than ever before – and nearly everyone's energy bill is lower because of it."
Additionally, there is a benefit to living near the Marcellus development. Historically, local utilities had to transport natural gas from the U.S. Gulf coast and the Midwest to serve their customers. With that transportation comes added costs. By sourcing gas locally, some utilities no longer have to transport gas from hundreds of miles away, in turn saving money that translates into lower bills for their customers. Between 2008 and 2011, the region's largest natural gas utilities averaged a 41.25-percent cut in rates for consumers, equating to nearly $3,200 in average savings per customer during that period.

During the earliest period of the rise of Muscovy, a class of boyars formed in Moscow (see chapter 43), who were true to the knyazes. The old tradition gave the boyars and free servants the right to leave their lord if they were dissatisfied. The nobler servants, boyars, also had the right to participate in the knyaz's duma (council) and discuss all questions regarding the state politics and administration. In the XIV century, boyars rarely excercised the right to leave the knyazes, since Muscovy was the best place for the aristocrats. On the contrary, they came from other principalities and asked the grand knyaz for the permission to become his servants. They had their share in the gains of Muscovy and did their best to assist the strengthening principality. The grand knyazes also cherished their servants. Dimitri Donskoy told his chidren before his death: "Love the boyars, honor them and do nothing without the council's approval."
The most notable among the boyars were the families of Fyodor Koshka (Romanovs and Sheremetevs), Byakont (Pleshcheyevs), Murza-Chet (Saburovs, Godunovs, etc.), the families of Golovins, Morozovs, Velyaminovs and many others. Since XV century, many knyazes from northern Rus and Lithuania became boyars in Moscow. They joined Muscovy with their lands and the knyaz left these lands to them as patrimonies. Some Lithuanian knyazes who had to leave their lands, were granted new patrimonies. So, the boyars had to serve the knyazes and received the lands as payment. These knyazes became actually simple servants of the grand knyazes, but because of their noble origin and belonged to the descendants of Gediminas or Ryurik they considered themselves higher than all other boyars. They still remembered who of them belonged to a more noble family ("older") and who was less noble ("younger"). They measured their nobility by their position within their clans, or otechestvo.
However, for the old boyars these knyazes were newcomers and the boyars wouldn't lose their priority. They had their own families and they had their own otchestvo. Their positions in their families were taken into account when knyaz appointed them to new positions. The boyars only agreed to occupy a vacant position when they were sure that they will not be subjects to "younger" boyars. This tradition was called mestnichestvo.
So, in the XV century the aristocracy gained the new form and the former knyazes and their descendants became the upper layer of this new aristocracy. They became known as knyazhata. Since their forefathers were noble independent knyazes and not simple servants of the grand knyaz, they ruled in their patrimonies as if they were the single lords of these lands, like in the older times, and their desire to become the co-rulers of the grand knyaz, of course, worried the grand knyaz. However, the grand knyaz could not raise or lower the otechestvo of the knyazes and could not make them "less noble" than they were. So, the peace between the grand knyazes and the boyars was broken. Neither Ivan III nor Vasily III recognized the ambitions of the knyazhata. Both grand knyazes deprived the knyazhata or their patrimonies or prohibited to sell them to prevent the loss of the lands belonging to Muscovy. Knyazhata were not allowed to participate in the grand knyaz's duma (council). If knyazhata asked the grand knyaz to restore their rights, they were sent to exile, to monastery or even executed. Those who attempted to secede and join their lands to Lithuania (since there was no other country to escape to), were accused of treason. So, the grand knyazes deprived their noblest servants of the ancient rights: the right to participate in duma and the right to leave their lord. The knyazhata did not understand that the new times had come and that in the new state the secession was a real treason. So, knyazhata finally became the enemies of the grand knyaz.

One Response to S T Davis will be signing books at Fort Stanwix in Rome, NY
Dear S.T. Davis,
My husband, son and I were at Fort Stanwix on August 16, and my son wanted a copy of your book. Thank you for signing it for him. You are the first author he ever met. He was excited to read the book, and spent the next few days doing just that. He said that he liked the book very much, and it was very interesting on a war level. He said that he was able to put himself in Samuel's shoes. Samuel wanted to participate in the war, and was able to help a lot of people. My son said "Thank you for your great contribution to our life". I think I might need to read the book as well. It was very nice to have met you.
Best regards.

Self-help groups are a great way to get support and meet other people who stammer.
What is a 'Self-help Group'?
A group of people who stammer and get together, typically, once or twice a month. Each group has its own aims and methods of working but all offer a safe, non-judgmental environment in which stammerers can share experiences. Some invite a speech therapist along, and are keen to practice 'speaking in public' and some set aside time for a game of nine-pin bowling or a convivial drink in a pub. All have a live wire organiser!
Self-help groups can be invaluable as a means of meeting others, finding encouragement and remembering you are not alone.
How do I join?
To find out if there is a group near you, see our list of groups. Then just get in touch with the organiser. If you have any problems, you can contact the BSA helpline.
Can't find a group near you?
If there isn't a group near you, there are lots of possibilities online. Or you can connect by telephone, or come to an event. Go to Can't find a self-help group near you?

Hello, is anyone out there?! It's been a little quiet around here recently... well, a LOT quiet! Things have been a little manic for me over the last few months. From university work, family time, rebranding the blog, running a charity and winning an award from the Prime minister I feel as though I've had to neglect my sewing. Which is definitely not cool with me. So let me tell you what I've been up to...
In the past I have mentioned the charity that I co-founded, the Wrap Pyjama Fairies, where we sew specially adapted hospital pyjamas and surgical gowns, free of charge, for children in hospital. I created this charity with Amanda Chadwick who, at the time, was a complete stranger. We met on a fabric Facebook group where she told me that she had sewn hospital pyjamas and surgical gowns for her poorly daughter and other children on the ward. I knew I had to get involved!
I offered to help Amanda set up a group for volunteer sewists to sew the garments for children in hospital. Things began to grow steadily to the point where parents were ordering directly from us and the volunteers. Things were great and totally manageable...until we were featured on BBC Breakfast. Things became a little hectic, we were receiving 10-20 orders a day, 100 of volunteers joining and several hospitals asking for bulk orders. The charity bloomed into something big, and we recently became a registered charity after heavy piles of paperwork. But we did it, and I couldn't be happier!
Things are going great but growing unbelievably quick, so trying to keep on top of everything can be a bit of a challenge but I'm working on my time management so things are a little less overwhelming.
But speaking of overwhelming, I won an award from the Prime Minister! I won the Points of Light award, which was a huge honour and was lovely for my charity work to be recognised at such a level. Even got a letter from Big Dave himself...
I'm also slap-bang in the middle of my exam right now, this time next week I will be finished exams, and my third year of uni for the rest of summer. Hoorah!!
To make things worse, I made the responsible decision to leave my sewing machine at home while I'm at university for my exams. So, as soon as I'm back home for summer, expect a lot more blog posts and tutorials coming your way. I can't wait to get back into it!
Since I have been away from Daisy and Sergio (my sewing babies) I decided to concentrate on giving my blog a little maintenance. You may have noticed my blog is looking VERY different since the last time you visited, this is because I have completely rebranded the blog to make it more crisp and minimal as things were looking a little too "busy" for my liking. Sharing my blog posts and tutorials is a lot easier now too.
Just click on one of these four buttons at the end of the post to easily share on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or Pinterest. Neat huh? ;)
I'm really interested to know whether you like the new look of the blog. Let me know in the comments below, and while your there, let me know if there is any particular tutorial you would like to see from me this summer.
Ciao for now!

As discussed last blog Six Senses Resorts and Spa's commitment to a sustainable future commenced at Eco Centro on the Flag Ship Resort Soneva Fushi.
|Leaf Garden and Restaurant
As Soneva Fushi has grown and developed the "Waste to Wealth … Eco Centro" and progressed with sustainable systems to turn most waste into some form of wealth as Composts, Bio Char, Charcoal, Mulches and soil conditioners (Coconut powder).Permaculture designed food production systems have shown that there is a solution to sustainable agriculture on low coral islands .
|From Leaf Garden
The objective was to roll out replicable models that could be used on other sister resorts and within the local communities to reduce the impact of pollution on the environments tourists and travelers come to see world wide.
As seen last Blog Soneva Gili has now begun construction of their own Eco Centro and Six Senses Laamu is now under way.
An area has been cleared and the initial design altered slightly to reduce the foot print to lessen the impact on the natural vegetation.
On my last visit there we concentrated again on improving soil health to improve food security.
|Just add waste
|More waste
The Gardens at Soneva Fushi produce up to 35% of vegetables and herbs and salads on 3500m2. Currently there is about half this area under cultivation at the
. Leaf Garden
During the visit we started clearing the next garden area that would link to the existing
and to the planned Eco centro. Leaf Garden
|New Garden Area
First things first... again ...."Healthy soil healthy plants". No soil so let's grow it!!!
As we have proved at Soneva Fushi Food waste incorporated with green manures and mulches and compost grow healthy soil and reduce the pH at the same time.
|Vardi's make shift Eco Centro
|Growing Soil
Within the new garden we have looked at the Bio Mass coming out from the trimming. On first inspection everyone said lets take it to the shredder... Why ?
Why not arrange it as in a no dig garden system and let nature grow the soil for us ?

Over the years I have admired Hendrix's work in covering many women's groups and activities--with the Church Women United, with the pre-conference in Los Angeles for the Women's Decade, and others.
Her reporting of the Nairobi Conference certainly represents the problems and accomplishments, and agrees with other reports from the attendees of the Forum from this country and abroad that the Forum seemed to address the real issues of the times, and that the official conference pretty much surrounded the U.S. delegation and isolated them. We can only express sorrow that the official delegation did not represent the real peace and women's concerns in the United States.
We are especially appreciative that Hendrix mentioned one of the longstanding international peace organizations, which for 70 years has been working to eliminate the causes of war and to set up the procedures for dealing with the tensions of the world in non-violent means--the Women's International League For Peace And Freedom.

The plural of sheep and other plural questions
It's probably safe to say that most of us don't give much thought to how plural nouns are formed in English. In fact, add –s or –es, whatever a word's origin or meaning, might be one of the easiest grammatical rules in the language. So we have book / books, church / churches, hula / hulas, and crepe / crepes. Whether a child or an adult, every language learner eventually learns that there is a small group of nouns that change (or mutate) their root vowel, such as mouse / mice and foot /feet. A smaller group of relics like ox /oxen. And an even smaller group of non-English borrowings that technically follow the grammar of their original language, though English speakers often normalize them. The plural of phenomenon is thus prescribed as phenomena, though we sometimes hear phenomenons.
Why doesn't the plural of sheep take an 's'?
Then there's a group of nouns whose plurals have no surface marking at all. If you have more than one swine, you still have swine. And the same is true for sheep, deer, and folk. All these words originated, in the earliest Germanic language, in a class of what are called long-stem nouns, meaning they either had long vowels (as sheep did) or short vowels followed by two consonants (as folk did). For whatever reasons – and these probably had to do with the shape of the word – such nouns did not mark their plurals, though over time, some of these non-marked plurals picked up an –s by analogy with words like book. The plural of thing today is thus things and not thing, as it historically would have been.
As these examples indicate, this group of nouns contained a number of words relating to animals. Horse also was a member and therefore also originally had a non-marked plural, but through analogy it acquired the –s characteristic of most English nouns. Other animal words did the opposite: though not having a long stem, they effectively joined that class by dropping their –s through analogy. Today, a successful angler catches fish, whether that means one fish or many. And still other animal words follow the usual pattern — dog / dogs, cat / cats – if only because they do not have long stems.
Half man, half bull
Then there's the Minotaur, a creature from classical mythology. According to several sources, Minos of Crete prayed for Poseidon to send a bull that would confirm his right to be king. When the bull appeared, however, Minos thought it so handsome that he refrained from sacrificing it. In retaliation, an enraged Poseidon then caused Minos's wife, Passiphaë, to fall in love with the bull, and with the aid of the craftsman Daedalus, she disguised herself as a cow. The product of this fantastic union was the minotaur, half man and half bull. It's the minotaur for which Daedalus built the labyrinth, where it received (and slaughtered) a regular tribute of Athenian youths until Theseus was able to slay it.
Minotaur as metaphor
Theseus went on to many other adventures, but it's the word for his monstrous first victim that interests me here. Composed from the elements Μινώς and ταῦρος, minotaur in Greek simply means 'the bull of Minos'. Rarely does a word convey its meaning so well. And rarely is a word's meaning so narrowly circumscribed. Minotaur might be used metaphorically, of course, but in ancient Greek it's a proper noun with a single referent. Say Μινώταυρος, and you've necessarily said 'the bull of Minos'. As a result, while grammatically the noun can be turned into the plural Μινώταυροι (minotauroi), conceptually the word really shouldn't have a plural. It does, because despite the singularity of the minotaur, the creature came to be understood to represent an entire species. And so images of minotaurs populate ancient Greek art, while the historian Plutarch linked minotaurs with sphinxes and centaurs (which always were species) as the offspring of women who ran 'mad after male beasts'.
Μινώταυρος entered Latin as minotaurus, whose plural, by regular grammatical transformation, was minotauri. The word brought the story of Minos and Theseus with it; in his Metamorphoses Ovid tells a particularly powerful version. But minotaurus also brought the notion of a species and not just an individual, and in fact minotauri were one of the images that appeared on Roman military standards. While references to the story of King Minos persist – Dante encounters the original minotaur in the Inferno – so, too, does this generalizing pattern, with the result that the creature seems gradually to have lost most of its connection to its originally monstrous origins. In C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, minotaurs support the White Witch, making them wicked and dangerous but not perversions of nature in the way the original Μινώταυρος was.
Today, we encounter the species in all manner of games and fantasy novels. And since it is a species with more than one member, it requires a plural. Given the word's origins, this plural could be minotauroi or minotauri, just as the plural of radius is radii and, the Oxford English Dictionary indicates, the plural of hippopotamus can be hippopotami, reflecting that word's Latin borrowing rather than its Greek original. Or, on the model of long-stem nouns referring to beasts, the plural could be minotaur. But both dictionary and usage alike in fact suggest that the common model prevails. If you have more than one minotaur, you will have minotaurs.
Sanitizing history
All this tells us two familiar things about English. First, there is order and not randomness in how its grammar works. We say three sheep for reasons of inherited historical morphology, and we say three fish because later ancestors systematically analogized. And second, this order is produced not by some kind of a language despot but by the usage of English speakers, who have competing interests and follow competing impulses. In the case of minotaur, we forget the word's etymology and animal reference, as well as the social and sexual implications of its extraordinary origin, and remember only that in English, many nouns form their plurals by adding –s. By nativizing Μινώταυρος, we have sanitized its reference and erased its history. Sometimes, how we form plurals really can matter.

RHONDA: When we were first married, we both had full-time jobs. We had two paychecks, and we had money left over after we paid the bills. We were living very comfortably. When I became a full-time mom and I didn't work outside the home, we continued to live as if we had two paychecks. I used the credit card to pay for things that the paycheck didn't cover. When the credit card bill came in, Greg would say, "Where did all these charges come from?" And I would say, "Well, we had to have it. You pay the bills. Figure it out."
GREG: Our credit-card debt had become out of control, and I knew we were in a lot of trouble when we started making our mortgage payment on our credit card. So having been in real estate for a long period of time, I decided to make some real estate investments. And unfortunately, as the economy started going down, so did my real estate investments. And it really kind of threw us for a loop.
We had a couple of friends that said, "Hey, you really need to go to Financial Peace University." Didn't know anything about it. So we tried it out, and, my goodness, it really helped us dramatically. I had taken care of the budgeting for twenty-five years, and I hadn't really allowed Rhonda to do any of the check writing or anything in regards to budgeting.
The first couple of sessions were extremely difficult for us. But I tell you what, that was life changing for us. We committed to doing this together.
RHONDA: When we began doing Financial Peace University about four years ago, our marriage really began to heal, not just in financial issues but in our communication and our relationship. We began to make decisions together. Our kids would see us working on these things together. It had a great impact on them to see us work through things even when it was really hard. It has given us a tremendous amount of freedom in our communication about finances. We don't have it all mastered or perfected, but we are working on it together, and we do not use credit cards. I would recommend anyone taking Financial Peace University—the sooner the better!

A featured excerpt from Big Mind: How Collective Intelligence Can Change Our World. Geoff Mulgan's new book provides a guide to managing and optimizing collective intelligence. The five fundamental principles Mulgan outlines in this excerpt offer a nuanced answer to the question: "What is it, at the micro and macro levels, that allows collective intelligence to flower?"

Do you include the high resolution files?
How long do you need to shoot our photos on the wedding day?
We need to chat about this. When deciding on the best times for ceremony and reception, most brides do not take into consideration the time that the photographer needs to take your wedding pictures between the end of the ceremony and beginning of the reception. Your day and your wedding photography will be much more relaxed and memorable if you space things out and allow yourself to enjoy every aspect of the day, including your unrushed photo shoot.
How do we arrange for a consultation with you to view your work in person and to discuss our specific wedding needs, and what is covered during a consultation?
Please inquire online for available times and we will make arrangements for a meeting with us. Various time slots are available for such consultations. Early evening hours (generally, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.) are popular for many of our clients.
Our advice to couples concerning choice of a wedding photographer usually involves answering these three questions:
• Do you like the photographer's work?
• Do the photographer's prices fit within your budget?
• Are you pleased with the photographer's style and personality? (That is, do you feel that your personality and the photographer's will blend well on your wedding day?)
If you can answer "yes" to all three of these questions, you are well on your way to making a decision. If the answer is "no" to one or more of these questions, you might want to shop around a bit more before making your final decision.
How do we book Darren for a shoot?
We require a non-refundable deposit/retainer and a signed contract to book our wedding services. Once the deposit has been received and details of the chosen wedding package have been finalized on the agreement sheet, your booking with us is finalized.
How many photographers and assistants do you use at weddings?
Darren Hull is the primary photographer and assistants and second shooters are selected based on need.
What shooting style do you use for weddings?
I use a combination shooting style, mixing a candid photo approach (occasionally referred to as a photojournalistic style) with the more traditional posed formal photographs. Much of the style that I use is determined by the agreement that we reach with the bride and groom concerning the type of shots that they want us to use to tell the story of their wedding. I generally adjust my shooting style to some degree based on what the bride and groom want from us, and we are usually able to determine what the bride and groom want in our pre-wedding consultations or conversations.
Do you allow other people to take photographs while you are working?
For the most part, there is no problem with friends and relatives taking photographs while we are doing our work. All that we ask is that any friends or relatives respect the fact that we have been hired to do a job as quickly and efficiently as possible, and that it is especially important that we have minimal interference during the creative couple portraits.

Personal injury laws are defined at a state level in such a way that a panel of judges sit together to create, modify, and also amend the laws. Personal injury law may not be the same in some states even though there are always similarities between them. However, there are different kinds of personal injury laws. International torts always deal with the cases in which the offenders are always aware of the consequences of their actions while they were committing it. Read more great facts on
Barfoot Schoettker
, click here. The action may be intentional, assault, household physical and mental abuse or even workplace fully. Negligence torts always consume a portion of personal injury laws. This is because the laws always make it compulsory for all the citizens to act responsibly and reasonably that any other person would do if they are placed in a similar situation. The strict liability of different torts to a different type of behavior. For more useful reference, have a peek here
Personal injury laws also deal with product liabilities which entitles the consumers to sue the manufacturer of a defective product which caused damage and injury to the users. If a person happens to buy a chair from a furniture store and falls from it while they are seated, the consumers can sue the furniture store or the manufacturer for the compensation. For one to make full use of the personal injury laws, one needs to understand the sections that will best suit their case. One also has to decide on whether negligent tort or the transportation injury laws is the right ground for the compensation claim of one's case. Personal injury can also be physical, financial, or a mental injury which is caused by another person, object or company. One can also decide to sue or claim for the personal injury compensation if they were a victim of slip and fall injuries, nursing home abuse, car accidents, defective product injury, drug injury, dog bite and also job injuries. This provides legal rights to victims who might have been physically or psychologically injured as a result of the carelessness or the wrongdoing of another person, company, government, or the entity. It also imposes a legal duty on people and companies to be performing and interact with one another on a minimum of good behavior and even reduce bad behavior and the level of care and attention.

Today, Bing released a detailed overview of its Page Zero experience, a new search feature that delivers deep links directly from the search box with shortcuts to relevant information associated with the search term.
According to the announcement, the new feature gives "best" auto-completion suggestions for a query, as well as displaying "rich information" related to the search term.
Bing says the Satori technology that powers the Page Zero experience delivers relevant search information in the same amount of time it takes to blink, giving users a "Faster way to search" both from the Bing homepage and search result pages.
To demonstrate how the new Page Zero feature displays the "most frequently searched for intents," Bing provided an image of a search for "San Francisco Giants."
Expanding on the intuitiveness of the Page Zero technology, Bing demonstrated how it recognizes a search for "Michelle Pf" as a search on the actress Michelle Pfieffer and responds with relevant search topics such as "Video", "Biography" and "Filmography".
To show how Page Zero delivers the most popular intents associated with a search term, Bing used a search for the San Francisco airport as an example, highlighting the links to maps, weather, parking and arrivals for the airport.
Bing claims that its Page Zero experience is made possible by the search engine's web index combined with its Satori graph technology, providing users with, "The most likely intents from thousands of intents expressed in billions of documents about billions of entities."
Search Engine Land initially reported that Bing was testing this feature the first week of September, and covered the official release earlier this week, along other updates from Microsoft including the new Bing logo.

I love pearls and I think that it is one of the best gifts to give someone because not only are they timeless but they truly are a classic. It looks good on anyone whether it be a young girl or someone who is older.
Laguna Pearl has a great selection of pearl necklaces, bracelets, earrings, pendants, rings and even pearl jewelry sets.
The best part of Laguna Pearl is that they offer such a great selection of products while at the same time being able to maintain affordable prices that can make their jewelry accessible to everyone!
My Review:
Laguna Pearl was so kind to send me a great pair of pearl earrings in order to conduct a review for my readers.
The pearl earrings came in a lovely glossy red jewelry box that is perfect for gift giving.
It is such a classy looking box and a great place to store your pearl jewelry to ensure that they won't get scratched or misplaced.
The lovely earrings that I was sent is valued at $249 but of course Laguna Pearls always sells their pearls at a much more affordable rate.
I love how delicate these pearl studs are. They are not to large but they have such great colour and are so luminous and goes well with anything that I am wearing!

Red Pesto:
- 125 gr sundried tomatoes from a jar
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 30 gr pine nuts
- 30 gr Parmasan cheese (optional)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Roast the pine nuts in a frying pan. Do not use oil in the pan, just roast them dry. Mix the tomatoes, garlic, pine nuts and cheese in a food processor. Add some olive oil until the pesto has the thickness you desire. It is a very nice touch to use the oil from the jar of sundried tomatoes for extra flavour. I love that and I use the oil from the tomatoes all the time when I cook with them. Add salt and pepper to taste.
I used the biggest part in an oven dish, but the leftover I used to make marcarpone and pesto toasties. The pesto was gone in 2 days. If you want to store it up to a week, put the pesto in a small jar and use enough olive oil to cover the pesto.

MAMBAJAO, Camiguin, September 28, 2015 — Some 37 graduating students from the Camiguin Polytechnic State College (CPSC) have undergone a one-day Youth Entrepreneurship Development Training on September 18, 2015 at the Mambajao Negosyo Center.
The Department of Trade & Industry (DTI) Camiguin Provincial Office initiated the activity to promote youth entrepreneurship development under Republic Act (RA) 10679; " An Act Promoting Entrepreneurship and Financial Education among Filipino Youth" or the "Youth Entrepreneurship Act" which was ratified last August 27, 2015.
This Act hereby declared to promote the sustained development of young Filipinos whose aptitude and skill in the field of finance and entrepreneurship shall be encouraged and honed through education and specialized training programs as part of the broader strategy to promote the viability and growth of enterprises in order to create more jobs in the country.
In this Act, the promotion of youth entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy Program shall be inculcated in all levels of education nationwide being consistent with the Section 5 of Republic Act. No. 10533 or the "Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013."
The DTI is a member agency of the Entrepreneurship Education Committee being chaired by the Department of Education (DepEd) with members from relevant agencies like the Commission of Higher Education (CHED), Technical Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the National Youth Commission (NYC) in support with the local Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Councils (MSMEDCs).

Today I want to share a new find with you. Lately I've been very busy and slip on shoes have been my go to. To give my Lucky Brand flats a rest, I stopped in Target to see if they had something that would fit the bill for the time being.
Little did I know, I would run across a "new to me collection" named Mad Love.
These are the black and white pair. I also snagged the silver cloud and the black. I may go back for this pair for the summer
So if you're in Target this week, definitely stop in and try on a pair:-)
Btw, this post is NOT sponsored in any way! I just like these shoes a lot!


text: Fun fact about me is that these are just my second pair of NB's. I used to have one NB 420 in a kid size that I got on sale for only 800.00php and thats $18 tho. I must admit having a baby feet is actually pretty cool. New Balance is bringing back the 90's with their 530 sneakers. The original 90's running design. Classic style and very subtle color way with soft grey hue silhouette and ENCAP® Technology ( A core of soft cushioning EVA in the midsole with a tough polyurethane rim for more support and durability.) You can basically pair/wear with everything. I personally like the bold "NB" on tongue. Super soft on feet. Comfy level sooo 100. But I actually don't recommend buying this pair online because for me they're pretty compact. I suggest buying in store and try them on feet. I recommend going one full size up if you have a wide feet. But if you have a tiny feet like me your usual size is just fine.

Located inside Hotel Les Armures, Restaurant Les Armures speaks well of its 17th century Italian charm providing a very dramatic and elegant atmosphere to enjoying some of the more sophisticated gourmet experiences you can ever find in the city.
Restaurant Vieux Bois
With a menu that changes every 6 weeks, Restaurant Vieux Bois is a favorite haunt for the who's who in international diplomacy as the Michelin Starred restaurant is just outside the offices of the United Nations.
