A few weeks ago, Adam and I headed down to Costa Rica to attend a family wedding and see what all the fuss is about this tourist-beloved, eco-conscious country. After a long weekend by the beach in northwestern Guanacaste, a spectacular drive down the Pacific Coast to the wild, remote Osa Peninsula, and a night in the capital city of San Jose, the fuss has now been seen…and believe me, we're on board.
Here's why, in pictures:

ROCK HILL, S.C. - A high-tech treasure hunt, a scenic, educational campus tour, a celebration of Winthrop's 125th anniversary – the new 125th Anniversary Geocaching Exam offers something for everyone armed with a GPS and sense of adventure.
Members of the Winthrop University Geocaching Organization (WUGO) have established a 125th history exam/geocaching challenge, which is now open to the public. To complete the 125th history exam, geocachers must find eight of the 10 caches listed on the exam and locate the code in each cache. The caches have been hidden at various locations across Winthrop's campus (including The Farm), and each contains a logbook for recording names and dates found.
Participants who finish the exam will receive a limited-edition, customized Winthrop 125th anniversary pathtag, or coin-shaped item. Completed exams should be turned in for grading to the DiGiorgio Campus Center information desk. The campus center can be found at N 34 56.325 W 81 01.925 and is open to the public Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-11 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.
The history exam will remain active until the supply of limited-edition Winthrop pathtags runs out, said Mickey Taylor '60, an avid geocacher who teaches a course on the increasingly popular pastime at Winthrop.
Participants are encouraged to note all parking regulations and to visit campus during the evenings and weekends to avoid weekday traffic.

On Monday 6 April 1981, the wave tank at Monash University was officially opened. The ceremony itself was performed by the Federal Minister for Science and Technology, the Hon. David Thomson MC, MP and the State Minister for Public Works, the Hon. Alan Wood MP.
The wave tank was built for the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at a total cost of $120,000. Funding for the build came internally, from the University as well as from external sources, including the Collier Charitable Fund, which contributed $6000.
The tank itself measured 50 metres in length, 2.2 metres wide and 4 metres deep with an adjustable floor. Jon Hinwood was actively involved in the development of the wave tank and used it to facilitate research into industry related problems, such as off-shore structures and fluid mechanics.
In 1984 Monash was involved in the Bass 84 project – the largest collective exercise in physical oceanography ever undertaken in Australia at the time. Bass 84 also involved collaboration with CSIRO and the Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology. Monash was involved in testing wind, wave and tide conditions in the Bass Strait on the Woodside Petroleum North Rankin A oil rig. As well as conducting tests using 'Scylla', Monash University's floating instrument platform, Jon Hinwood and his team were also given a model of the rig to run tests on in the wave tank.
The wave tank testing facilities at Monash University are world class. The facilities have been upgraded and the tank is now 80 metres long, which means it can successfully simulate the actions of any large body of water. Like many of Monash's research facilities, the wave tank is used for both commercial and research testing.

Check out our Forum Rules. Lets keep this forum an enjoyable place to visit.
Pierre and folks @ fiddlerman,
I need your help since I hurt my right wrist playing. This problem built up for a while and by watching previous videos of me playing, I came to realize that everytime i would go on a downbow, my wrist would turn counter clock wise generating tension. Right now, it's been 2 days without playing. I need guidance on drawing the bow back and forth since it is a motion that should look natural and effortless.
I would appreciate if you guys could get back to me on this issue to see how I can fix it.
Thank you all very much.
There's nothing better than a cold beer and the warm soothing sound of a violin.
Hopefully somebody with more knowledge can give you some advise but here is my two cents.
I noticed I would do the same thing from time to time. I think it was how I would create enough pressure towards the tip of the bow to keep the sound the same. By turning your wrist you adding more pressure to the index finger and in turn adding pressure to the bow.
My instructor told me to reduce downward pressure from the pinky and use an upward lifting pressure from the ring finger along with some downward pressure from the index to increase the weight of the bow when playing in the upper half. My wrist will still rotate some but not like it used to.
Wither this is a proper way to do it...i dont know but it seems to be working for me. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
A hoopy frood always knows where his towel is!
There are several Fiddlerman video tutorials
- Finger flexibility for smooth bow changes
- Learn to play Row Row Row your Boat
- Learn to play fast G major scale
- Trills on the Violin
Thanks for these.
After finding those, I am still wondering if there is any video tutorial here on the following slightly-related-but-not-quite-addressed issue (in what I have viewed) ?
Concerning the right wrist and fast playing and repeated notes and smooth bow changes (i.e. four of the five elements above rolled into one different issue)...
What are the merits or demerits of using the right wrist/hand versus using the right elbow/forearm when bowing repeated notes quickly. E.g. What shall we do with the drunken sailor : for the viola it begins with and later uses B played 7 times consecutively, sometimes as quavers (3 off) and sometimes as semi-quavers (4 off).
I can do that readily with either: pivot at the elbow or: pivot at the wrist, which of these two is preferable ?
It becomes a larger issue because at higher speeds in theory I should be physiologically better able to change direction of the bow from the wrist than from the elbow because my hand weighs less than my forearm so has less momentum to overcome when changing direction and should be able to change direction faster for demi-semi-quavers (or even for hemi-demi-semi-quavers ... can hemi-demi-semi-quavers be played on a viola at all ?)

Brain is the most crucial organ of the body which is responsible for making the person who he is. It is responsible for each and every coherent thought which comes to us. It also is one of the most sensitive organs in a human body. Any damage to the brain can cause irreparable and irreversible effects on any person's body. That is why, it is imperative that a person always seeks the advice of an experienced neurosurgeon in Colorado in order to ensure the best possible care for themselves and their loved ones.
Generally, in case of any kind of head trauma, a person is first examined by ortho physicians of Colorado. In case any superficial damage is there and no internal damage, then the ortho physician can take care of it. In case the damage extends beyond the surface and the skull, then the neurosurgeon in Colorado and ortho physicians of Colorado would work simultaneously to repair the damage caused. In cases like these, a patient should immediately be rushed to a place which specializes in ortho and neurosurgery. Such cases are actually so complicated that it is next to impossible for the person to completely recover sometimes.

Charleston Preferred Properties
Charleston Preferred Properties is a new real estate company located in Charleston, S.C. that will focus on representing buyers interested in purchasing residential property throughout the Charleston region. The company is exploring design options for a comprehensive website, which will be its primary sales tool. The overall framework has been developed; the current objective is to explore options for the specific design and look of the site. CPP seeks a clean, visually appealing site that is easy to navigate and presents information about Charleston and the area's real estate offerings in a clear and concise manner. The company is looking for design ideas and layouts only, not a fully developed and programmed site.
The company's marketing plan targets national, regional and local audiences, with an emphasis on the northeast and mid-Atlantic states in the US. Target audience is generally aged mid-30s to mid-60s, college educated and affluent. Various market segments include empty nesters, retirees, families with children and single professionals.
Overall site design, including colors, fonts and layout, for home page and two interior pages, based on framework sketches provided.
Focus on Home Page first and we'll deal with interior pages once the colors and styles are decided on. File to start with is : CPP_Home
- I've uploaded a beauty shot of Charleston to use for the main pic (called Nav-Charleston) - this helps visualize the layout better. Please use.
- We'd like to see some layouts with the Logo flush Right instead of Left-
- Some of the designs use the sand and brown colors too much, making it have a desert feel instead of a coastal feel
- The boxes at the bottom are like widget boxes. They will have a border/container and may include images, text or both
Also, the quick search box should contain all these fields and in this order: I've uploaded a screenshot of what it should look like (obviously update the color scheme to match your design). Screenshot is called quicksearch box.png

Option 2TBD (dropdown box)
SUBMIT/ SEARCH button
Design Considerations:
The company's logo is in development. The current version being considered is attached and represents the general direction CPP is going in terms of brand identity.
Important traits relating to Charleston and the CPP brand:
• authentic
• traditional and classic, but not old-fashioned or stodgy
• hospitable and friendly, welcoming
• southern
• rooted in tradition, but modern and relevant
• traditional with a "twist"
• coastal, but not "beachy"
Pay careful attention to font consistency, size and inverted text colors. Copy needs to be easy to read. Fonts selected should be consistent with brand traits.
Pay careful attention to line spacing and white space. Site needs to have a very clean layout and be easy on the eyes and not too "crowded."

More Wellington workers take up cross-union soccer
Dec 7th, 2012 | By Melissa Wastney | Category: Latest News, Most Popular, News, Sport
AN INCREASING number of Wellington union workers are spending their lunch times playing soccer together.
Strikeforce soccer team is made up of trade union workers, who emerge from CBD offices on Monday afternoons, wearing bright red t-shirts.
Interest in the team is increasing says CTU communications and campaigns advisor Georgina McLeod, who previously played in work teams and enjoyed the atmosphere and break it provided from the office.
"The more people hear about it, the more it keeps growing," she says.
The team is made up of representatives from at least eight different unions, in both public and private sectors, and includes a wide age and skills range.
"There are about twelve of us, but five play at any given time.
"We play for fitness and fun, and to get out of the office", says Ms McLeod.
Strikeforce team member and PPTA advisory officer Tom Haig says the union team is a fun way to connect with other workers.
"It's all good-natured fun but it's a shame we haven't been defending workers' rights on the pitch as well as we do in the workplace," he says.
Strikeforce plays in a lunchtime league at Wellington Indoor Sports, located on Queen's Wharf.
Teams from various workplaces, such as Telecom, also take part in the soccer league.
The sports stadium is a popular place for CBD workers to burn off some energy in their lunch break.
Kevin Martin from Wellington Indoor Sports says workers have been coming to play at the facility for more than five years.
"I think it's just a good place to get away from their offices and release some frustration," he says.
Ms McLeod says it is important for the workers of different unions to make connections.
Strikeforce includes representatives from NZNO, PSA, PPTA and First Union, among others.
The idea came about after some colleagues at the Council of Trade Unions were talking about how beneficial cross-union activity would be, she says.
"I think playing together is great. The thing is, we're all working for the cause but we don't always get to network.
"Actually, we found ourselves [Strikeforce] hanging out together at the Unions Wellington Christmas drinks party, which was nice."
Ms McLeod says it's great to meet fellow union workers in a social arena and the team plans to continue playing together next year.

I'd known this about Kevin when I walked down the aisle, that he'd been embarrassed to have me meet his family.

I'd known this about Kevin when I walked down the aisle, that he'd been embarrassed to have me meet his family.
This sounds good. I wonder why he's embarrassed.ReplyDelete
That sounds like it hurts and it makes me wonder if it's more about the family than her.
My Friday 56
I feel bad for her. I definitely want to know more about the situation. Plus I love the cover!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this excerpt, Bea. I've had my eye on this book and want to read it. Have a great weekend and thanks for visiting my blog.ReplyDelete
Why was he embarrassed? Did she do something to warrant the embarrassment??ReplyDelete
Why is he embarrassed. Is he ashamed of her? I wonder.
fuonlyknew ~ Friday 56
Sorry. My link didn't work:)
She must have really loved him. She married him even though she knew his family didn't like her. What if he takes their side all the time and not her side? I wonder what will happen in this marriage. I would like to read this one.ReplyDelete
Hey Bea, just letting you know I got the book! Thanks!ReplyDelete
1. Love the teaser since now it's got me wondering why he was embarrassed. 2. I love the cover and 3. I'm going to have to read it soon lol :)

I was going to say they were all HOT until I got down to Tom Cruise! Yuck! I was just checking your blog to see if you wrote a post about your feelings about dying soon. Scary. Your tweep, @snackygirl
Why did no one get on here and say HOT? That was my first thought when I saw only the first pic. LOL

Bioware has officially canceled the multiplayer tech test for the wave-based co-op feature coming in Mass Effect: Andromeda. This news comes from a blog post on Bioware's website about their appearance at this year's PAX East in Boston, Massachusets.
Join us at the BioWare Base (room 2AB) and be one of the first to join APEX and defend our new home in Andromeda. Featuring different character kits each day, this is your chance to try out Mass Effect's fast-paced cooperative multiplayer on PC.
While we will have live multiplayer at PAX East, there will no longer be a multiplayer tech test for players at home. Thank you to everyone who signed up. We look forward to seeing you in Andromeda.
You can still sign up for the tech test on the Bioware Beacon website, but as you've probably guessed by now there won't be any tech test to participate in. The good folks over at PC Gamer reached out to Bioware enquiring about the canceled multiplayer tech test. They got this response:
Our team worked extremely hard building, testing, and balancing multiplayer, and we ultimately determined that a tech test would not be necessary.
There are two ways you can look at this: either the above statement is a testament to Bioware's trust in their product, or there's something going horribly wrong with the multiplayer that forced Bioware to cancel the tech test and use the remaining weeks to make the feature ready for launch while still allowing players at PAX to try the multiplayer in a controlled environment. While we don't really have a reason to doubt their word, we will know for sure once Mass Effect: Andromeda releases at the end of this month.
What do you think of the cancellation of the multiplayer tech test? Share your thoughts in the comments below!More About This Game

For the past few months I've been reading a book called "The art of doing nothing" by Theo Fischer. It's a book about the Tao and I can recommend it for two reasons. 1. It's interesting. 2. It's difficult to read (or badly translated, or both), so it only takes two pages to fall asleep. Easier than counting sheep.
This Tao thing is complicated, but also the easiest thing ever. I am not going to try to explain it, because I am not sure I understand and anyway there are other websites and books that you can check. In short though, I think it is about living in the moment, not resisting what is, not clinging to the past or future, letting go of your ego, and feeling connected to everything on earth. It's also apparently something that you can't understand by trying to understand it, so I guess we've all just failed. Now let go of that failure and move on.
At the end of the book are some suggestions for exercises. One of them talks about how we have so many people, objects, habits that we are attached or even addicted to, and it suggests we pick one and try to let go of it and experience what happens. I decided to give it a go and *shock and horror* delete Whatsapp from my phone. To some people this might not sound like a big thing, but I was definitely addicted to it. It was my lifeline to my friends at home. I am in a different timezone, but always aware of what time it is back home (also because I am just very good at math and adding six hours comes easily to me). I was clinging to Whatsapp and getting RSI in the meantime. And yet it was never enough, never really comforting. You can spend an hour typing like crazy and still nothing much has been said. In short, it was preventing me from dealing with being here and settling in.
I was also inspired by friends who don't have smartphones or whatsapp. They seemed to be functioning perfectly fine. And yesterday I went to see a play and one of the props was an old fashioned airmail envelope, one of those with diagonal red and blue stripes around the edges. I might have to go look for the thin sheets of paper that go with it and start writing some letters. After all, news is kind of like fashion: if you just wait there will always be a time when it's 'hot' again.
So I hit delete, and felt…fine. Relieved. I guess the point of the exercise is to notice that you won't have serious detox symptoms, that you don't need the attachment to still be and feel connected to people. I am drawing the line here though. The Facebook app stays, and Gmail too. But I promise to be more dedicated to enjoying my life here, even if it means having to go to the beach allllll day today. I'll do what it takes.
On another missing-home related note, someone just sent me this link, and it reminded me so much of Sundays at home when I still lived with my parents. I think I miss those times because (luckily) I was free of responsibilities and life seemed so much more simple. I decided to try to recreate that Sunday morning feeling so I am now listening to classical music. It's almost the same, except instead of fresh baguette and boiled eggs for breakfast I just had a huge bowl of pasta, because I forgot to have dinner last night.
Hey, nobody's perfect. Let's just accept it.

Gold fell $9.90 or 0.6% in New York yesterday and closed at $1,646.40/oz. Silver slipped to a low of $29.84 and finished with a loss of 0.2%.
Gold's losses in recent days have been more pronounced in dollar terms as gold's price fall in euros, pounds and other fiat currencies has been far more modest (see charts). Given the challenges facing all currencies in 2013 the price decline is likely another correction prior to further gains.
Gold edged up on Tuesday as the euro held steady on to two days of gains on hopes that the European Central Bank will not cut interest rates at a meeting this week.
A Reuter's poll of economists forecast no rate cut but they cannot agree on whether there will be further cuts in the next few months due to a muddled Eurozone economy.
Data showed Eurozone sentiment improved for its 5th month in a row, based on a drop in Spanish jobless figures and a successful Greek bond repurchase.
Harmony Gold, South Africa's 3rd biggest gold producer said its Kusasalethu mine remains closed and could be shut permanently with the loss of around 6,000 jobs after managers received death threats and police were shot at.
Reuters report that Asia's physical market has picked up so far this year, with buyers tempted by last week's big drop in prices -- when prices retreated to as low as 1,626 per ounce -- and on demand ahead of the Lunar New Year, traders said.
The trading volume on the Shanghai Gold Exchange's 99.99 gold physical contract shot through the roof on Monday, hitting a record of 19,504.8 kilograms, after double-counting transactions in both directions.
"Physical demand is very strong," said a Beijing-based trader. "It's a combination of the attraction of lower prices as well as pre-holiday demand."
But such appetite could waver if prices recover towards $1,700, he added.
U.S. gold gained 0.1 percent to $1,648.60. Shanghai's 99.99 gold traded at 331.58 yuan a gram, or $1,658 an ounce - a $10 premium over spot prices, compared to single-digit premium most of last year.
Technical analysis suggested that spot gold could edge higher to $1,665 an ounce, and a previous target of $1,625.79 has been temporarily aborted, said Reuters market analyst Wang Tao.
Bloomberg quoted Feng Liang, an analyst at GF Futures Co., a unit of China's third-biggest listed brokerage who said "the recent price drop has attracted some purchases, evidenced by the volumes in China," "Whether this rebound can be sustained depends on the emergence of physical buyers, especially from China and India, at a time when demand is meant to be strong."
In China, demand typically picks up before Christmas and lasts through the Lunar New Year in February. India's wedding season, a peak-consumption period for gold jewelry, runs from November to December and from late March through early May. The countries are the two biggest bullion consumers.

Explains how she manages her diurectic medicine.
I take my water tablet first thing on a morning with my others and within an hour of taking my water tablet I go to the toilet. Before I get dressed I go to the toilet; when I'm dressed I come downstairs and start doing something, I have to go to the toilet. On a morning it's the only time it affects me. On an afternoon, after about 1 o'clock, I might go 5 or 6 times between 7.30 or 8.00am and 1.00pm, maybe more, but after that I don't bother. And that's one thing about the water tablets, I must admit is, I don't have to get up, maybe once during the night but I think I've got rid of it all on a morning (laughing) so like there's nothing left.
Yes I have organised my life round them. I should do it more really, because if we go shopping to the local supermarket I know where the toilets are, if we go into town to do any shopping, I know where the toilets are! But it's just a case of I know how long, it's either that, or leaving my shopping in the car and running straight to the toilet, front door open, back door open, all doors open, just quick, get to the toilet!

New Solar Farm Powers Hawaii at Night
Tesla unveiled a new 13MW solar farm on the Hawaiian island of Kauai Wednesday, bringing the state closer to its ambitious goal of sourcing 100 percent renewables by 2045.
The farm includes nearly 300 Tesla Powerpack batteries, which provide 52 MWh of capacity and will allow the farm to sell stored power during the evening. The company estimated that the farm will offset 1.6 million gallons of fossil fuel usage per year in the state, which relies heavily on oil-fired power plants and has some of the highest electric rates in the country.
According to The Verge:
It's the first major solar-plus-storage project for Tesla since its $2.6 billion acquisition of SolarCity last year, and Tesla said in a statement that it "will work with energy providers around the world seeking to overcome barriers in the way of building a sustainable, renewable energy grid of their own."
Stationary storage is "something I think will probably be as big as the car business long term," Tesla CEO Elon Musk said during a tour of the Gigafactory last year. "And will actually have a growth rate probably several times that of what the car business is per year. The growth in stationary storage is really under appreciated. That's a super-exponential growth rate."

'Companies Should Not Be Allowed to Use Hazardous Ingredients in Products People Use': Michelle Pfeiffer Speaks Up for Safer Cosmetics
The beauty products we put on our skin can have important consequences for our health. Just this March, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that some Claire's cosmetics had tested positive for asbestos. But the FDA could only issue a warning, not a recall, because current law does not empower the agency to do so.
Michelle Pfeiffer wants to change that.
The actress and Environmental Working Group (EWG) board member was spotted on Capitol Hill Thursday lobbying lawmakers on behalf of a bill that would increase oversight of the cosmetics industry, The Washington Post reported.
People Power Can Stop the Line 3 Tar Sands Pipeline in Minnesota

World Leaders, Media Ignore Biodiversity Report Detailing Mass Extinction Event Now Underway

Hundreds of Sunscreens Don't Work or Have Unsafe Ingredients, Annual Review Finds
Summer is fast approaching, which means it's time to stock up on sunscreen to ward off the harmful effects of sun exposure. Not all sunscreens are created equally, however.
The climate crisis is a major concern for American voters with nearly 40 percent reporting the issue will help determine how they cast their ballots in the upcoming 2020 presidential election, according to a report compiled by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.
Of more than 1,000 registered voters surveyed on global warming, climate and energy policies, as well as personal and collective action, 38 percent said that a candidate's position on climate change is "very important" when it comes to determining who will win their vote. Overall, democratic candidates are under more pressure to provide green solutions as part of their campaign promises with 64 percent of Democrat voters saying they prioritize the issue compared with just 34 percent of Independents and 12 percent of Republicans.
Senate Approves $19.1 Billion in Disaster Funding After Years of Climate-Fueled Disasters
President Donald Trump has agreed to sign a $19.1 billion disaster relief bill that will help Americans still recovering from the flooding, hurricanes and wildfires that have devastated parts of the country in the past two years. Senate Republicans said they struck a deal with the president to approve the measure, despite the fact that it did not include the funding he wanted for the U.S.-Mexican border, CNN reported.
"The U.S. Senate has just approved a 19 Billion Dollar Disaster Relief Bill, with my total approval. Great!" the president tweeted Thursday.

Health Care IT Still Needs Critical Care
Despite focusing on compliance and security issues, progress to date has been somewhat limited.
Though the federal government has been investing heavily in training for its push for electronic medical records, the big bucks still come with experience, something career switchers don't have.
There's not a huge difference between coming out as a fresh college graduate and getting retrained in health care IT. After a year of experience, you'll be in good shape and then other hospitals and providers will be looking for you. But initially, that first step is the most difficult.
In a post at Health Data Management, Rob Tholemeier, a research analyst for Crosstree Capital Management in Tampa, Fla., writes that the health care industry is too fixated on degrees and credentials - they like to put all those letters after their names: MD, PhD, RN, FACP, etc. IT pros don't. He says the best IT pros are great listeners and problem-solvers - and not necessarily ones with experience with a specific software. He goes on to list some questions interviewers should be asking.
In a separate post, readers weigh in. They agree that with the challenges health care organizations face, they most likely will have to look to IT pros from other sectors to meet their talent needs and the economic climate is increasing companies' reticence in hiring. But this comment seems to sum it all up:
... collaboration and information sharing across the team [are] essential to successful implementations. It is the intimate understanding of the workflows in which technology is used, the needs of users, the other technologies that are needed in concert with strong technical knowledge, project management skills, etc. Finding ways for folks with this subject matter expertise to work and support the work of those with strong technical experience will make us all successful.

This is how they looked after I had applied the tissue paper.
I removed the tissue paper after it had dried to find that canvas one was okay but a bit pale so I added a few more of the hexagon shapes, in another layer on top and, allowed another 'bleed'.
This is how it looked after it was dry and before I started to stencil .
It was good fun and I'll return to the other canvas and give it another go soon.
Thanks for looking today .
Back soon.
BTW .. a million thanks for all the lovely comments you leave for me... very kind of you .XX

Just call me The Mymble. The Mymble is a character from the Moomin books and she is defined as "the mother of a very large and unspecified number of children". As The Mymble, I thought it was a good idea to nickname my kids according to the characters in the Moomin books. Stick with me, I may just change my mind later. I've been married to The Joxter for 10 years. Together, we have 4 gorgeous children. Our oldest and only boy is 6 years old. I'll call him Snork. In the Moomin books, Snork likes to come up with new inventions and he's considered a bit of a know-it-all. Second in line is our oldest daughter. She is 4 years old and I'll call her Mym – short for Mymble's daughter. In the books, she is described as very independent and carefree with long legs and glossy reddish-yellow hair. My second daughter will be Little My. Little My is fiery and irritable, but also happy and friendly, and she wants to decide things for herself – just like my almost-3-year old. Last, but not least is our baby girl. She is 8 1/2 months old, starting to try the crawling thing with two sharp little fangs. I'll call her Thingumy, because it's cute. This blog will hopefully be my outlet for everything going on in our life and my dealings with it.
I love my family dearly and one of our biggest passions is adoption. We would love to add a couple more little faces to our family and desire to add the little ones who have no-one else. Our little family moved to Australia recently and we're getting used to life in another country. Hopefully, we'll be able to make our adoption dreams come true here. We are also a Christian, homeschooling family. That's us!

Reviewed by Jen
With most historical romances series, I rarely feel like I've missed something when I jump in with a later installment. Here, I have to say that starting out with the fourth book in the Secrets in Silk series, there was no doubt I was coming into a story in progress. Even though each book has its own HEA, there was obviously a lot of history in play, both in the romance and the larger story arc.
Though I obviously don't like feeling lost, I think I'm safe in saying that my lack of history with the heroine isn't entirely a bad thing. I think if I would have had much exposure to Margaret as she was at the beginning of this book, I would have wanted nothing to do with reading her story. She was everything I hate most in a HR heroine. She is prim and proper, focused on class and money, and she can't even see a good thing when it's staring her right in the face.
That good thing is Cain Sinclair. And he has loved Margaret the 10 years that he has known her. So when she comes to him with a desperate plan to save her missing sister, he drops everything to help her. The two ride off together, knowing that it will likely damage Margaret's reputation beyond repair.
Obviously, Margaret is attracted to Cain, but for much of the book, she considers life in seclusion as a valid alternative to a life with him. Cain is a really solid guy. He loves Margaret. He is good looking. Sexy. Sincere. And he literally would walk through fire for her. BUT SECLUSION MAY BE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE. Because she is that wrapped up in the trappings of society. This made me really struggle to like her.
Things do get better and the story progresses past their road trip. I did end up liking Margaret more, but then Cain started mucking things up a bit. Generally, I like Michelle Willingham books, but this is not my favorite from her. It had some good sexy times and a satisfying ending. Plus, Cain was a pretty good hero. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't love it.

Predictably, China's Year-on-Year Growth Maintains Its Steady Pace
China said on Friday afternoon that it was revising its economic output data to take better account of fast-growing sectors like intellectual property, health care, tourism and so-called emerging industries. But Xing Zhihong, a spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics, said on Monday morning that this was a continuing project that had not been applied to the second-quarter growth statistics.
China's consistent growth also reflects the government's constant intervention as officials try to reach predetermined targets for the country's economy — currently 6.5 percent growth or better.
Keep On Lending
The biggest reason the Chinese economy keeps growing quickly is that the state-controlled banking system keeps pouring in loans, although the government began tapering the flow slightly during the second quarter.
Total social financing plus bonds, the broadest measure of credit, expanded 14.7 percent in June compared with the same month a year earlier. In most countries, that would be a breathtaking pace. But in China, it was actually a slight slowdown: Credit was up 15.3 percent in May from a year earlier.
The Communist Party Congress, which is held once every five years and chooses the country's top leadership, will be in midautumn. So China's leaders have been eager to keep the economy growing briskly at least until then.
China has many tools for managing a debt buildup. More than half of the credit in its economy consists of loans from state-controlled banks to state-owned enterprises. But Moody's Investors Service downgraded China's sovereign debt by a notch on May 24, expressing worry about the broader buildup of credit.
Factories and Services Surge
While a sizable chunk of China's economy may depend these days on building roads and rail lines into the desert using borrowed money, industrial production and services are also strong.
Steel demand has been vigorous, especially in residential construction. Housing prices have surged in the past 15 months, ever since the government decided during a period of economic weakness in early 2016 to make it much easier for families to borrow for home buying. Some of the biggest cities, like Beijing, have recently tried to curb real estate speculation with administrative limits, but these rules have had limited effect, as credit has stayed plentiful. Overall industrial production rose 7.6 percent in June from a year earlier, the government announced on Monday morning, an unexpectedly faster tempo than May's 6.5 percent.
Year-on-year growth in retail sales accelerated to 11 percent in June from 10.7 percent in May, while fixed-asset investment also picked up speed in June.
Trade Sustains Economy
Part of China's economic health in the second quarter reflected robust exports, with demand beginning to recover in Europe and particularly the United States after a long period of depressed growth. But what counts in the overall economy is not the value of the exports but whether the trade surplus narrows or widens. In that respect, there were a few clouds on China's horizon.
China's imports rose 14.5 percent in the second quarter from the same period last year as prices soared for iron ore and other raw materials essential to Chinese manufacturing. Chinese exports rose only 9.1 percent in the second quarter.
The composition of Chinese exports also changed in ways that could intensify trade friction and affect China's trade surplus. China is becoming even more dependent on exports to the United States, with sales reaching their second-highest level ever last month, trailing only September 2015.
Chinese imports from the United States have also risen, but most of the extra purchases have been oil and other raw materials, which create many fewer jobs than manufacturing.
President Trump promised during his campaign to create more American jobs through a more confrontational approach on trade toward China. But since taking office, he has focused more heavily on addressing North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and on very narrow trade talks involving industries like steel manufacturing and beef production.

Friday Featured Photographer #4: Jonathan-Stacey
It's Friday in my corner of the world once again! This week we are looking at the photography of Jonathan-Stacey, one of RedBubble's most talented coastal landscape photographers, and host of RedBubble's incredibly popular SEA group!
Despite the continuing evolution of his compositional and processing techniques, Jonathan primarily attributes the success of his artwork to his amazement of the world around us… not the man made world, but rather than natural world. The sky and water have been the key features in his most popular artwork – no matter how hard he tries to shoot something else, these two elements keep making their way into his photography (a feeling that I can totally sympathise with).
Jonathan identifies Christian Fletcher (based in the south west of Western Australia) as his most notable influence, thanks to his captivating, pastel dawns and vibrant sunsets – both of which are clearly evident in Jonathan's own artwork! Other influencers, such as Peter Lik, have helped Jonathan to see that an in-depth appreciation and knowledge of light is the key to great photography.
Having purchased his first DSLR camera early in 2009 (a Nikon D90), Jonathan joined the RedBubble community in December 2009. He believes that studying the artwork of others whom he admires on RedBubble has seen his own artwork move forward in leaps and bounds. He also had the following to say about the RedBubble community:
It's a strong community … you can gauge whether you are improving or whether something works from the views … not necessarily the comments, this I think is dependent on who and how many you comment on.
Jonathan is originally from South Dorset in the UK (aka The Jurassic Coast), but moved to Australia with his family in 1999. Despite loving the amazing colours of the Australian landscape, he can't wait to get back to his original homeland to apply his amazing photography skills to the landscapes there.
I personally enjoy Jonathan's artwork due to the similarities between his subject matter and compositional style, and my own. He exhibits a degree of technical perfection that I aspire towards, and serves as a fantastic source of inspiration for me whenever I go through a phase of bringing home uninspired photography.
It's been hard to pick out just five of my favourite images from Jonathan's folio, so rather than clicking on the individual photos above, why not just click straight through to his entire folio and check out the rest of his amazing artwork there…
July 24, 2010 at 4:52 AM
Thank you Jason for this comprehensive look into one of my favorite artists, Jonathan Stacey. I call him an artist instead of a photographer because each piece of his work carries the weight of a finely tuned precision master who is in total control of the concept he portrays. He has a keen sense of lighting which dominates the mood of an atmosphere he can't control. Jonathan uses the flow of the ocean to invoke a mood of strength to gentle lapping of tides. The sky, beach and rock elements are mere tools to create a palatte of texture, color and framing for his main focus- the ocean. There is generally a feeling of calmness even when he shoots a rabid red sunset. I personally think that is the essence of the man coming through his work. Jonathan Stacey is an asset to redbubble and an inspiration to many. I hope he steps into mainstream photography and has the opportunity to share his passion with the world! joni rae
July 31, 2010 at 1:05 PM
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to feature me in your Friday Photographer's Blog Jason..wonderfully written and most definitely a great honour….Jonathan.
August 5, 2010 at 5:44 PM
Thank you so much Jason for such a great review, I'm honoured. The feadback I've had has been very positive, it's a great idea to showcase various photographers and I certainly appreciate the extra exposure..Thank you once again.

PureVPN Review
PureVPN was the first to introduce personal VPN service. Yes, we are the pioneers of this industry. Plus, we operate a rapidly expanding self-managed VPN network with the most diverse range of security, privacy and anonymity solutions. If you want internet freedom, internet security and full internet privacy, there is none better out there than PureVPN.
PureVPN is committed to protecting your privacy across all your devices. It doesn't matter if you are using devices running Windows, Mac OS, Android, iOS, Linux, DD-WRT or some other OS, PureVPN continues to maintain your internet freedom, privacy, security and anonymity. And we offer 5 simultaneous logins.
As Chinese users can't open the link of the VPN in China, I can give them all the information and login credentials after payment via taobao. The price here is for 1 year – 5 devices.
Link(For Chinese users or foreigners who live in China only)
- Great support 24/7
- Many servers
- 5 devices at the same time for a great price.
- Many protocols – The Software for Mac and Windows have all the protocols.
- You can use OpenVPN on IOS using 3rd party. It can work pretty well.
- The servers are stable. You can watch a film on YouTube for more than 2 hours.
- One of the things that I don't like about PureVPN is the windows software. It has too many things to read and sometimes it is confusing for new users. Note that I am talking about the software interface, not its functionality. It can work pretty smooth in China, and after you learn how to use it. Enjoy it!
Here are the links to download PureVPN softwares:

For Windows XP,7,8


text: So you're driving down the highway at 70mph on autopilot and you blow a tire. What happens? My guess is that when autopilot is engaged it always has a positional target for the car, and if a tire blows it will apply steering to attempt to maintain position in the lane (just like when countering strong crosswinds). However, I think autopilot also has an enforced maximum turning angle for a given speed, and this could easily be exceeded in this scenario. Hopefully the car would recognize a rapid loss in pressure in one of the tires and begin slowing. Anyone had this happen, or have theories on how it behaves?

An official parallel event of ArtRio, Art Rua 2013 will occupy two vast warehouses in nearby Gamboa and offers a rich, diverse programme of events and exhibits to entice the hoards from the more mainstream action up the road. Cramming in workshops, film projections, lectures, a gastro-space, concept store (in partnership with Homegrown and Sala de Estar) and an outdoor live music stage, the Felipe Bardy-designed space is set to be a sustainable refuge of artistic endeavour.
The main space, a former train depot, will be filled with graffiti from local heroes like Toz and SWK as well as international names like the Aussie crew Dabs&Myla. In and around the neighbourhood, meanwhile, Wall Projects arrives from successful stints in New York's Meatpacking District and Miami's graf mecca Wynwood to bring the culture to the streets in the hope of creating a permanent new home for the artform.
Friday and Saturday nights will also see a DJ takeover featuring the hip hop and funk styles of Wladimir Gaspar and Pathy de Jesus (Fri) and bumping house music from Triple Crown and High Class Underground (Sat).

The J1 is a compact mirrorless camera that offers excellent optics and autofocus performance, featuring a Nikon CX size sensor. It's ultra portable size and weight make it a great camera to always have with you for every opportunity.
The D3200 features a newly designed 24.2 MP sensor. It is an entry level DSLR that is compact, lightweight, with limited controls. Features an optional WU-1a WIFI module for sharing photos instantly.
The Nikon D90 is a classic camera that can still compete with today's top DSLRs. A full 12MP DX sensor with usable ISO up to 1600. This camera offers excellent control at an affordable price.
The Nikon D600 is a full frame FX DSLR. It features a 24.3MP sensor. It is the most affordable full frame DSLR produced by Nikon, but more importantly it is the lightest FX camera available. Constructed with a magnesium body structure, it is more tough yet portable.
The Nikon D800 takes digital photography to a whole nother level. With a 36MP sensor, dual memory card slot, new autofocus system, and the option of no anti-aliasing filter. This review covers the camera extensively.
The Nikon D4 is the new Flagship DSLR from Nikon. It features the most advanced autofocus system, greater control, and improved metering. Under the hood is a 16.2MP sensor with native ISO from 100-12,800.
The Nikon 85mm f/1.4D is a classic portrait lens. It can be used for almost everything, including weddings, photojournalism, weddings, and events. Known for its bokeh, it can be found in almost any professional's bag.
Nikon has outdone themselves with this lens. The 50mm f/1.8 AF-S G features great bokeh and sharp images all in a light weight, affordable package. Kudos to Nikon for this lens! The only downside is it has some distortion, but it can be easily corrected for in Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture.
The Nikon 24mm f/1.4 is an exceptional lens. Although expensive, it does what no other modern 24mm can, shoot at f/1.4! This is the ultimate low light wide angle lens. VR is not required. This ultra sharp wide angle features low distortion, nice bokeh, and minimal to no flare.
The new Nikon 85mm f/1.8G is an active portrait lens. Perfect for weddings or events. It's 7 bladed diaphragm may produce decent bokeh. This is an ongoing review. The lens is expected to arrive early Feb.
The Nikon 28mm f/1.8G presents a reasonable wide angle prime at a more affordable price point than the 24mm f/1.4G and 35mm f/1.4G. With the ability to shoot at f/1.8, low light is not a problem. It features two aspherical elements and nano crystal coating.
NIKON 50mm f/1.4 G AF-S
The Nikon 50mm f/1.4 G is a great prime lens. It is superior to its predecessor, the 50mm f/1.4 AF-D, because it features faster autofocus, has more pleasing bokeh and is sharper wide open. Its downside is it is expensive for a standard 50mm lens.
Nikon 70-200mm f/4 VR provides an excellent solution for a high performance optical long rang zoom for those looking for a lightweight FX package.
The Nikon 70-300mm VR G is a great lens for both DX and FX. Built well with great optics, it is a popular lens. Its VR works well. Read why this lens should be considered over many alternatives in this focal range.
The 24-70mm is Nikon's best midrange zoom. It is optically excellent. Built for professionals it comes at a high cost. It large f/2.8 aperture allows lots of light throughout the entire zoom range.
The Nikon 35mm f/1.8G AF-S is a fast prime for DX users looking for a "normal" perspective. It's AF-S makes it compatible with the entry level DSLRs. It is the essential for any DX user looking for low-light performance.
The Nikon 10.5mm is a DX fisheye lens. It is unique because it provides 180 degree coverage on DX cameras. A fisheye lens produces a distorted perspective where straight lines only remain straight when they pass through the center.
The Nikon 35mm f/2 lens is very unique and yet its focal length is very common. This is an excellent lens for portable low light situations. However Nikon does offer a variety of alternatives that put constraints on the need for such a lens.
The Nikon 24mm f/2.8 AF D is an ultra portable wide angle lens. Although it was originally designed in the film days, it still holds its own in the digital era. It is super sharp and excellent for low light use.
This older 24-85mm 3.5-4.5G AF-S is an excellent affordable FX zoom. Although it does not feature VR, it is small, light weight, and easy to bring along anywhere. Its performance is more than adequate for most uses.
Lightweight FX Mid-Range zoom. Most affordable zoom on FX. Well suited for multipurpose photography, Travel, Landscapes, etc. Moderate variable aperture from 3.5 - 4.5.

The #metoo hashtag has been making the rounds on Facebook. While I support the endeavor to raise awareness of just how many women have endured sexual harassment and / or sexual assault, I won't be adding that hashtag to my Facebook feed.
For the life of me, I can't come up with a reason why.
Is it because a part of me doesn't want to discuss it?
Or perhaps I'd rather not draw attention to myself that way?
Or that perhaps it's always been "duh – ALL WOMEN HAVE"
I can't articulate it properly lately – perhaps never.

After not making the playoffs, the Montreal Canadiens showed they were missing size and skill at the forward position. With too many grinders or diminutive forwards they lack a towering presence who can win the battles to the net and most importantly finish. The Montreal Canadiens have not had a 50 goal scorer in 27 seasons since Stephane Richer. A player that General Manager Marc Bergevin seriously needs to take a look at is 6'4″ Pointe-aux-Trembles, Quebec native Julien Gauthier. Having scored 79 goals in his last two seasons for Val D'or of the Quebec league, Julien is the package. He is a natural goal scorer. A tough large forward who will drop his gloves regularly to fight to motivate and fire up his team. He is not afraid to go to the net and stay there.
Julien possesses tremendous hockey vision, great skating abilities and skill. His speed and size with his tremendous puck handling skills would fill a void behind Max Pacioretty for wingers with size and raw goal scoring prowess for the Montreal Canadiens. Having been selected to Team Canada Junior teams in a supporting role in the past, Gauthier also possesses leadership and drive that will go along way in his pro hockey career. The Habs have lacked the toughness it needs to make the playoffs and go further in the absence of such type of players as Julien Gauthier. Don't get me wrong, Gallagher, Desharnais and Galhenyuk are good players but just are not strong enough to battle top playoff contenders. Many of the top Quebec players in the NHL for opposite teams up their game when in front of the hometown crowd. This trend has to stop and the only way of doing so is by bringing them to play for the Montreal Canadiens. With Vincent Lecavalier retiring recently along with a generation of homegrown talent superstars, a new generation is rising of Quebec hockey players and Julien Gauthier is one of them. A perfect fit for the Montreal Canadiens at the upcoming draft in Buffalo, NY.

October 11, 2016 - BLAIR RICHARDS, State Political Reporter, Mercury
THERE are calls for an independent process for dealing with conflict between MPs, with a potential legal stoush overshadowing the return of State Parliament today.
A bullying allegation by independent MLC Ruth Forrest against Police Minister Rene Hidding has resulted in Mr Hidding accusing Ms Forrest of defamation. The Minister is considering taking legal action against Ms Forrest, arguing she made a link between her bullying allegation against him and violence against women.
Ms Forrest said she would pursue a code-of-conduct complaint against Mr Hidding after she said he bullied her at a parliamentary dinner.
She is also considering reporting the matter to police, and has written to White Ribbon, the national body that seeks to address violence against women.
Premier Will Hodgman's public response has been limited to the fact that he received advice from the SolicitorGeneral and the secretary of the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
He then formed the view Mr Hidding had not breached the ministerial code of conduct.
Yesterday Deputy Premier Jeremy Rockliff also declined to comment, citing the potential legal action.
University of Tasmania political scientist Richard Eccleston said the affair risked undermining the reputation of political representatives and Parliament itself. "It suggests there needs to be independent process to mediate such disputes in an attempt to resolve them outside the courts," Prof Eccleston said.
"Given the seriousness of the accusations such a process would have to be robust and impartial."

Spain had a leg up on the others since they were willing to fund an adventure that bucked the going dogma of the day, that the earth was flat. Of course, Christopher thought he was actually going to Japan, known as the "Far East", by going West! Imagine that, heading the opposite direction you wanted to go and expecting to end up there. The French, Dutch, English, Swedish, and Russians certainly did not want to be left out of the colonizing business and started their own explorations using their own ships.
The French managed to slide down the St. Lawrence and name a bunch of settlements soon to be called Canada. They also managed to slip by the Spanish and settle a place at the mouth of the Mississippi called "New Orleans" after the "Old Orleans". The Dutch and Swedish focused their settlements along the upper coast of North America called "New Amsterdam" after the "Old Amsterdam". The English, fighting the Spanish all the way, split the difference between St. Augustine to the south, and New Amsterdam in the north, calling their new land "Virginia" after their unmarried, virgin queen, Elizabeth. Of course the Russians went down the other side of the Continent that didn't exist before Christopher stumbled into it, opening the doors to Alaska and the upper Pacific coast.
Besides "Gold" and "Glory", a major factor in driving this arms race, was "God"! Each country had settled into a religious warfare that sought to control the hearts and minds of those participating in this colony-building enterprise. Spain had become the defender of the Catholic faith and was rewarded by Pope Alexander VI who issued two international decrees (Papal Bulls) that all land west of a line running north-south through the Azores and Cape Verde islands would belong to Spain. [Somewhere between the 41st and 44th meridians west of Greenwich.] The land yet to be discovered lying east of this line would, of course, belong to another Catholic country, Portugal. These decrees were issued the 3rd and 4th of May, 1493, at request of Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain.
The Protestants (English, Dutch, and some French) were left out in the cold, literally, since their only options were to explore northeast or northwest, freezing in the Arctic circle. Priests, ministers, pastors, elders, and all sorts of church leaders were involved in the planning and practice of this nation-building enterprise. This religious fervor would be a major driving force to many who were yet to come to these new lands. These forces continued to thrive even to the very building of our little town, Winchester, KY., Pop. 8,000.

If you have ever wanted a more beautiful, flawless smile, dental veneers might be the right choice for your smile. Veneers are very thin shells, typically made of porcelain or resin, that are custom made to fit over the front of your teeth. Our talented dentists bond the custom veneers to your teeth to provide you with a uniform, attractive smile. Dental veneers are typically a very conservative dental treatment, requiring minimal preparation to the teeth. Dr. McConnell and Dr. Bui may suggest dental veneers to enhance your smile by:
- Whitening teeth that are severely discolored, darkened, or stained
- Correcting teeth that are misshapen
- Restoring cracked, very worn, broken, or chipped teeth
- Filling in gaps and spaces between the teeth
- Improving teeth that look too short, too pointed, or too long
- Correcting slightly misaligned teeth
Because dental veneers in Beavercreek, Ohio are made of tooth-colored materials like porcelain or resin, you can feel confident that your new smile will look beautifully natural. Your dental veneers can be finished in only two visits to our friendly dental office. For more information on how veneers can improve your smile, we welcome you to call or visit us soon.

Synopsis – The sixth annual SEMPO results (2010) revealed some interesting trends in search engine marketing. As Marc Engelsman discusses in his article "Search Marketing Evolution Reflected In Annual SEMPO Survey," the rate of change in search engine marketing tactics can be blindingly fast in some instances and relatively sedate in others. Covering the major findings in this short bite from the extensive results that result from this important annual "state of the union" report, Marc concentrates on changes in social media marketing, paid search versus SEO, and sources of budget "poaching."
As the time comes for this year's survey, it's a good time to be Viagra Soft cheapest reminded of the highlights from the 2010 results!
The complete article follows …
Search Marketing Evolution Reflected In Annual SEMPO Survey
Welcome to the world of search marketing a�� a world that is in a state of constant evolution. The Search Engine Marketing Professional Organization (SEMPO) released the results of its sixth annual State of Search Survey in March 2010. For many caught up in the a�?new normala�? of todaya��s business pace, buy amoxicillin without prescription uk. March 2010 may feel more like three years ago than just a few months ago. Sometimes the evolution of search marketing is slow and nuanced, while in other cases, change is rapid and obvious. The SEMPO survey uniquely captures both kinds of search market evolution, as it is designed to reveal shifts in trends over time as well as surface, emerging issues. Here are some of the evolutionary trends revealed by this yeara��s survey that you may find interesting and/or useful.
1. Social Media Marketing a�� It should come as no surprise that social media marketing has rapidly become a key component of a companya��s web marketing activities. But what may be surprising is the high level of adoption of this tactic (72%) in comparison to the more-established tactics of search engine optimization (90%) and paid search marketing (81%).
2. Paid Search Versus SEO a�� A closer look at how companies have used SEO and paid search through the past reveals a subtle yet significant shift in search tactic activity. Specifically, while SEO has stayed relatively consistent at the 90% level, use of paid search has grown from 70% in 2008 to 81% in 2010. Meanwhile, agencies report that their handling of paid search for companies/clients has dropped from 82% to 76% over the same period. The clear implication of these findings is that more and more companies are managing their own paid search programs. Agencies need to adapt to this new reality if they are to succeed.
3. Sources Of Budget a�?Poachinga�? a�� Another area in which the survey reveals shifts concerns the areas from which companies report a�?poachinga�? budget to support their search and social marketing efforts. In last yeara��s report, print advertising led the way at 44%, followed by direct mail at 22%, website development at 15%, TV advertising at 13%, and conferences/exhibits at 10%. Now, 12 months later, conferences/exhibits are poached at a level of 24%. Web display advertising budgets are close behind at 23%, while those budgets were far down the list at 7% last year.
Like the industry it represents, the SEMPO survey has evolved over the years to keep pace with change, with this cialis online discount yeara��s report delving into more detail on challenges for existing search tactics as well as the impact of new trends/technologies. Two comparisons were particularly noteworthy.
1. The biggest challenge identified Sublingual Viagra online generic nolvadex , purchase clomid. by all was a�?measuring the ROI.a�? All three tactics rated ROI measurement as the big challenge a�� 43% each for search engine optimization and paid search and 63% for social media marketing. a�?Optimizing destination pagesa�? was second on the list for both SEO and paid search while a�?making the business casea�? was the second biggest challenge for social media.
2. The a�?rise of local searcha�? was cited as the most highly significant trend by agencies at 37% while companies put it fifth on their list at only Viagra Soft buy generic nolvadex 19%. Companies see a�?personalization of search resultsa�? as most significant at a 31% level. Both agencies and companies had a�?rise of mobile interneta�? among the top three trends. It will be interesting to see if that evolves as rapidly next year as social media marketing did this year.
This yeara��s SEMPO State of Search Survey gathered the opinions of almost 1,500 respondents from 68 countries. The results are presented in 119 figures, some of which I have touched on here. They are exemplary of the depth and variety of perspectives captured and accurately reflect the aura of change that surrounds the search industry and those of us along for the buy motilium ride.

Today is the first day of my Black is Chic Challenge! Today's statement black item is this black skirt. Although it fits me perfectly, I don't really use it as much as I should. So today I decided to wear it with this cute striped tee I got the last time I was in Panama.
I went with the easiest and most fail-proof color combos ever: Black, white, and red. This combo just can't go wrong! I love how the red details just pop, I felt so Parisian chic :)

Some new art
A little bit about how my mind works. Yes, I suppose I'm slightly odd. I hbe some eccentricities and strange habits.
I remember telling a friend of mine several years ago before she came over about a few of my interests; I needed her to be aware of what I'd been studying a lot of at that time, because my Comcast DVR was filled with crime specials, Dateline on ID, Investigation Discovery forensics shows, and interviews with sexual sadist serial killers (such as Dennis Rader). Had she decided to turn on the TV and peruse the recordings without any warning; well, I'd probably have to chase her to the elevator after she bolted — and I highly doubt that that would've gone well.
I've heard countless times: "don't talk about religion or politics."
I don't buy that nor bother with it. So, according to that advice, I'm only supposed to talk about inconsequential things... unimportant things?
"Yes, let us not discuss matters of a serious nature. What would be the point of your college education, if you were to actually use and benefit from it? Just plain silliness. Let us now discuss the finer points of Jersey Shore."
If you believe that, maybe you shouldn't read my blog. Especially if you get emotional about politics in particular. It won't get easier for you when I accuse your "side" of using mustard gas — and then blaming "us" when the wind changes and it blows back on your own people.
What in life should we take seriously, and how many young people are there meandering, directionless?
I was discussing "happiness" with a friend earlier, because it bothered me how we treat emotions in America. People aren't allowed to be sad anymore. Because there's a pill for that. Or a drug for it.
Get high, get drunk, forget about your worries. Isolation stimulates creativity; but I suppose young people need none of that, as they have YouTube and Hulu.
I'm going to post a new piece of art soon. I've been working on something... revealing. You may like it — I'm still looking at writing about "Locked Up Abroad" again, and the messed up laws, double-standards, hypocrisy and corruption in the Philippines.

Burnley secure Taylor and Sordell signings
Premier League new boys Burnley have clinched the signings of Matt Taylor and Marvin Sordell.
The versatile Taylor, who can operate in midfield and at full-back, moves to Turf Moor on a two-year deal after his contract with West Ham expired.
Meanwhile, Sordell joins from Lancashire neighbours Bolton Wanderers after the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee.
Striker Sordell has signed on a three-year contract and will boost a forward line that already features Danny Ings and Sam Vokes, who combined for 40 goals in the Championship last season.
The 23-year-old spent last season on loan at Charlton Athletic, and will need to improve on the tally he reached for the south London club, for whom he scored eight goals.
Burnley have now made three signings in the close-season as they prepare for a return to the top flight, with Taylor and Sordell's arrivals coming after that of goalkeeper Matt Gilks earlier in the week.
Sean Dyche's men begin their Premier League campaign against Chelsea on August 16.
