The above image and link popped up unexpectedly while meandering from site to site, and somewhere along the way I stopped at The Kamla Show – that post is coming later – and before you knew it, I am exploring the Baghdadi Jews & Bombay Cinema connection.
Turns out, very early in Bombay's film history, before Bollywood became a world wide word, Jewish women were starring in Hindi films in Bombay! Who knew!!
Wonders and discoveries never cease. Enjoy this excellent podcast from a terrific Jewish web site that takes great pains to record history and experience.

Hope Springs Eternal As Girl Born Without Hips Runs 5k Scoring Some Excellent Coverage
Thursday, August 10th, 2017
on behalf of Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity
A great run of coverage as brave Hope completes 5k and puts ECHC on the podium
A BRAVE girl from Alloa who was born without hip sockets, has completed a 5k Fun Run in aid of Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity.
Hope Gilmour was originally born without hip sockets and her family were told it was unlikely that she would ever be able to walk properly. Determined Hope, however, has now made a full recovery and defied all odds by tackling a charity fun run in aid of ECHC.
Read the original press release on Hope's inspiring story from being told she may never walk again to signing up to run a 5K to raise awareness for the work of ECHC
We thought this story was too good not to share and made sure we spread the news of Hope's amazing resilience, getting some very impressive results to boot. These included:
- A total of 17 pieces of coverage
- Print and online hits across a series of UK and Scottish national newspapers, including The Scottish Sun, The Courier, The Metro, The Scotsman and the Daily Record
- A big-hitting piece on the BBC News Online, which has a staggering reach of nearly 2million users
- Four pieces of coverage (two print and two online), including a front page spread, in the Alloa and Hillfoots Advertiser – the main newspaper that covers the town that Hope is from, spreading the news far and wide around her local area
- A further regional piece in the Edinburgh Evening News – the key target publication of Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity, raising further awareness of the important cause
- A hugely impressive total of 3,943,383 opportunities to see
Hope's story praised ECHC for the support it provided her and her family following her operation. This coverage helped increase awareness of the amazing work the charity provides to young people and their families.
Following the renaming of the charity in May, securing positive coverage in key titles is essential to continue to raise awareness for ECHC. These recent hits for Hope's story have allowed us to do this, sharing news stories about the charity in widely read publications all over Scotland and the UK.

Join us at The Earl Spencer for Burns Night for Join us at The Earl Spencer for Burns Night on January 25.
Burns Night is annually celebrated on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the bard (poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759. The day also celebrates Burns' contribution to Scottish culture. His best known work is Auld Lang Syne.

Robert Burns
The first supper was held in memoriam at Burns Cottage by Robert Burns' friends on 21 July 1801, the fifth anniversary of his death, and have been a regular occurrence ever since.
They held the first Burns supper on what they thought was his birthday, 29 January 1802, but in 1803 they discovered in Ayr parish records that his date of birth was 25 January 1759. Since then, suppers have been held on or about 25 January.
Burns suppers may be formal or informal. Both typically include haggis (a traditional Scottish dish celebrated by Burns in Address to a Haggis), Scotch whisky, and the recitation of Burns's poetry.

"Piping" of the haggis
Everyone stands as the haggis is brought in. It is usually brought in by the cook on a large dish, generally while a piper plays bagpipes and leads the way to the host's table, where the haggis is laid down. They might play "A Man's A Man for A' That", "Robbie Burns Medley" or "The Star O' Robbie Burns".[5] The host, or perhaps a guest, then recites the Address to a Haggis
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, (fa = fall, sonsie = jolly/cheerful)
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place, (aboon = above)
Painch, tripe, or thairm: (painch = paunch/stomach, thairm = intestine)
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace (wordy = worthy)
As lang's my airm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill, (hurdies = buttocks)
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o' need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dicht, (dicht = wipe, here with the idea of sharpening)
An' cut you up wi' ready slicht, (slicht = skill)
Trenching your gushing entrails bricht,
Like ony ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sicht,
Warm-reekin, rich! (reekin = steaming)
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an' strive:
Deil tak the hindmaist! on they drive, (deil = devil)
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve, (swall'd = swollen, kytes = bellies, belyve = soon)
Are bent like drums; (bent like = tight as)
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive, (auld Guidman = the man of the house, rive = tear, i.e. burst)
"Bethankit" hums.
Is there that o're his French ragout
Or olio that wad staw a sow, (olio = stew, from Spanish olla/stew pot, staw = make sick)
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi' perfect scunner, (scunner = disgust)
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him ower his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit; (nieve = fist, nit = nut, i.e. tiny)
Thro' bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his wallie nieve a blade, (wallie = mighty, nieve = fist)
He'll mak it whistle;
An' legs an' arms, an' heads will sned, (sned = cut off)
Like taps o' thristle. (thristle = thistle)
Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinkin ware (skinkin ware = watery soup)
That jaups in luggies; (jaups = slops about, luggies = two-handled continental bowls)
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,
Gie her a haggis!

The first batch of acts gracing Tornado Town at BT 2013 has been announced.
Maroon Town will be headlining the Town on the Friday night due to their reputation of tearing up audiences across the globe and being widely regarding as one of the best dance Ska bands on the circuit; this was evidenced by headlining Brixton Academy's International Ska Festival earlier in the year. Joining them on stage will be Buster Shuffle following a hugely successful support tour with Dropkick Murphys, Left Step Band, Port Erin, John Robbs post punk outfit The Membranes, the town house band Boot Hill All Stars, Bootscraper, Bakseats featuring ex-The Sea front man Sam, Frenzy and Sunday Driver.
We are delighted that the Tornado Town team are returning for a second year following its huge success in its inaugural year. Tornado Town will be flowing out into the festival grounds and the space will include a Cocktail Hut, outdoor seating area, tree lights, site art and a garden.
2013 improvements will not only stop there with more toilets located in the live in vehicle fields, Main Stage better located, more showers, disabled camping located onto flatter ground, improved bar, Waters Edge stage being replaced, new Cabaret Tent located in the campsite and lovely new campsite cafe. We installed a permanent water supply into the campsites last year and plans are afoot to build another access road into the hall for large vehicles.
All the 2013 Early Bird Tickets have sold out and we are well on the way to having our earliest sell in our six year history.
Keep tuned for the next line up announcement on October 26th 2012

Category Landing Pages for the New Poppin.com
Created at Poppin
With the launch of Poppin's new website, we needed new category landing pages. These pages can be a new customers first touch-point if they're coming from search. Alternatively, it's reachable by selecting the category from the navigation. This presented a unique challenge to speak to the brand's larger stories, as well as the specific category features (eg. all trays are designed to fit with one another).
First, I sat with the Director of Marketing and Copywriter to decide on the main stories to tell for each category. For notebooks, it was the different innovative formats and colors. For desk accessories, the story was form meeting function. Then I put in my headphones and did some sketching.
Another designer worked on the first category landing page for the furniture collection, which established some elements. I enjoyed thinking through the best way to convey these stories to two different audiences; a brand new customer and an existing one. I also had to design responsively.
I also designed the category landing pages for Notebooks, Writing, and Desk Accessories.

Hatters boss John Still felt defender Dan Potts benefited from a 'bold' second half approach during his league debut for the club on Saturday.
The 21-year-old was given a start in place of the rested Scott Griffiths, but adopted a cautious approach in the first period, often taking the safety first option when in possession.
"He's a really good player and if he keeps playing he can set up more goals."Cameron McGeehan
Some words from Still during the break saw the shackles lifted in the second half though, as Potts became far more of an attacking threat, eventually winning the penalty for Cameron McGeehan to equalise.
Still said: "Dan's not had a lot of football and we were just encouraging him to try not to worry abut losing the ball in their third.
"Be bold and in the second half he was bold, very bold.
"I'm pleased for Dan as he's had a difficult time since he's come in.
"He had a little knock in pre-season and another little knock since.
"Second half I think he pushed on and provided us with a little bit of impetus."
Meanwhile, goalscorer McGeehan was impressed with his team-mate's display, adding: "Pottsy did well in the second half, he built into the game.
"I think he's been unlucky not to have many games as he's been injured, but it was a good run for him and he's got that in his locker.
"He's very good going forward and it's good to play with him. He's a really good player and if he keeps playing he can set up more goals, as he set up the goal on Tuesday against Gillingham too."

Our guest blogger is Brian Katulis, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
In a NewsHour interview this week, New York Times correspondent Rod Nordland said Iraqis aren't paying much attention to the Wikileaks video showing U.S. forces shooting Iraqis from a helicopter during the height of the 2007 surge of U.S. force because it confirms what they already think about the U.S. troop presence. That most Iraqis see the U.S. troop presence in a negative light still seems to surprise initial war supporters and many counterinsurgency (COIN) advocates. Here's the exchange:
GWEN IFILL: Rod, there — on a related subject, there has been some discussion here, some controversy here about the release, the leak of a video of an Apache attack helicopter killing, among other people, some Reuters employees in 2007 in Iraq. Has that video been circulated widely there, and has there been reaction at all on the ground?
ROD NORDLAND: It has circulated widely here, but I think there was actually a somewhat muted response here, even compared to other Arab countries. Sad — sad to say, most Iraqis have a pretty cynical attitude toward the Americans. And incidents of this sort don't really surprise them as much as maybe it does ourselves.
GWEN IFILL: So, there is no reaction at all from U.S. officials on the ground or from Iraqi officials about this particular incident?
ROD NORDLAND: Iraqi officials have been pretty preoccupied with the bombs going off today. American officials refer questions to Washington. It's one that they really don't want to touch.
Indeed, no one wants to touch this. The White House and Pentagon have seemed to downplay this story and not really dealt with it. Matt Armstrong commented on the Pentagon public affairs shop's passive approach to dealing with the release, and Spencer Ackerman characterized the response as the Pentagon's "fetal crouch." My American Progress colleagues Zaid Jilani and Matt Yglesias both asked the important question of whether the U.S. military is trying to cover up this story. Many questions remain unanswered, yet few are talking and there's not much of a debate about it outside of the blogsphere.
I've been surprised how muted the mainstream U.S. media coverage to this story has been, especially compared to foreign media outlets. In several interviews I did with foreign and new media outlets this week, I was asked why the US mainstream media and broader public don't really seem to be paying attention to this story. And the best I can say is that most Americans are not paying attention to the fact that we're in two wars. As I told David Dayen of Firedoglake, America's not had a robust and engaged public discussion on the wars our country is fighting for a few years now. A New York Times/CBS News poll earlier this year found that the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, combined with other national security and foreign policy concerns, barely registered among the top problems facing our country today.
But it was Rob Nordland's observation about the Iraqi reaction to this Wikileaks video that I found most interesting — and it seems accurate to me based on some conversations I have had with Iraqi friends and my reading of the Arabic press in Iraq. Earlier this week, I took part in an hour-long news interview program on Iraqiya television, and the host didn't bring up the story. Iraqi leaders haven't said much about the Wikileaks video either (though they do have their hands full with negotiating over a new government and dealing with an increase in attacks this week.)
Nordland's statement that most Iraqis being cynical attitude about Americans and incidents of this sort not really surprising Iraqis is an important observation — it challenges the conventional wisdom among many Americans about the Iraq surge and how Iraqis view American forces. There is a myth perpetuated in narratives peddled by many COIN advocates that ordinary Iraqis view U.S. forces as positive and constructive, and this fundamental misunderstanding leads some analysts like Tom Ricks to make specious arguments about extending the presence of U.S. forces beyond the redeployment deadlines outlined in the U.S.-Iraq security agreement.
A few months before U.S. forces withdrew from urban areas last summer, nearly three quarters of Iraqi citizens (73 percent) said in an early 2009 poll that they did not have confidence in U.S. troops (strong confidence in U.S. forces was mostly found among Kurds, and the United States doesn't have much of a troop presence in the Kurdish regions of Iraq). And this overall negative view about U.S. troops came at a time after Iraqis had recognized there were substantial gains in security. Incidents like the one depicted in the Wikileaks video have not been uncommon in Iraq, as former U.S. Army soldier Josh Stieber told Glenn Greenwald in this interview.
Watching the killings in Wikileaks video — again it was filmed at the height of the 2007 surge- it makes sense why Iraqis don't seem to buy the notion that the U.S. military has been operating with an effective "population-centric" strategy in Iraq, even as some Americans seem to so badly need to believe that to be so.
This morning on ABC's This Week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the Wikileaks video was "not helpful," but added that it "should not have lasting consequences."

Riding the Storm Out
Won't know total specifics until the wee small hours of the morning -- and let me go on record as saying that this guest... totally not invited.
But I have prepared for this arrival because I am not only the consummate hostess, I am also interested in trying to preserve my sanity -- amongst other things -- during this visit.
Yep. It's hurricane season, y'all.
And those damn storms -- SO rude -- will just come by, sans invite, to wreck tropical havoc for who knows how long. At least we have an idea about them coming -- even though they don't actually call first, which would be the mannerly thing to do. Forewarned is forearmed dontcha know.
I've had a little experience with these sorts of things before -- can't have lived in Florida all your life without having an encounter or two with a hurricane.
When I was a kid, there was a certain naive excitement about the storm. The perceived invincibility of the young coupled with the belief that Mama and Daddy would make sure all was ok. Now, the advent of the season is tinged with the scent of adult responsibility, caution and a bit of fear masquerading often times as stress.
I give you this picture from my youth -- the calm before the storm, as it were. I think this was taken right as Hurricane Agnes was sending feeder bands our way.
(By the way, I have NO idea what is up with those shorts I'm wearing. And do you think I could have combed my hair before the shot... good grief. A hot mess, even at age 9.)
And then there was the joy and delight of Hurricane Elena. Fall 1985. Big ass storm. Supposed to come onshore somewhere on the west central coast of Florida and then cut across the state -- through Gainesville.
My parents wanted me to come home -- but I opted to stay in town. I had homework and assignments that were due shortly and I figured I'd take advantage of being housebound to get some work done. So on Storm Day, I helped make sure the sorority house was secure and could weather whatever craziness Mother Nature threw our way before my two galpals (both PR majors with me) and I went to the art supply store to pick up materials for our respective projects. Very responsible students we three.
So... we then decided we were hungry. Figured we might as well get something to eat while we were out and the weather was still tolerable. I had a hankering for a chicken salad sandwich -- my favorite. There are few things in this world that make me happier than a really good chicken salad sandwich. And the place in town that made the best chicken salad, as far as I was concerned, was my favorite watering hole -- the Red Lion Inn. Off we went for a sandwich and a beer. And maybe a couple of games of video trivia. No big whoop.
The sandwich stayed a single sandwich.
The beer, however, turned into several pitchers.
A couple of video trivia games turned into a tournament. (In case you were wondering, I won. Boo-yah!)
And our well-intentioned plans of working on our projects morphed into a hare-brained scheme to sit in the bar and drink until the storm came.
The skies, however, were less than ominous. There was some rain -- those weird tropical showers that beat down like hell for a few minutes then pull back to a light sprinkle only to become torrential again. But nothing to get all excited about.
Unless you were us -- three drunk co-eds determined to be thrill-seekers, even if it was just from the parking lot of a bar. We drug tables and chairs outside and sat in the lot, just waiting for the storm to come on down.
We waited.
And waited.
Ate some chips.
And waited some more.
Nothing. No big onslaught. No funky looking funnel clouds. Nada.
Turns out the storm made a pinball machine move and literally bounced off the west coast and ended up coming on shore in the Panhandle. The only thing we got in Gator Town were some feeder band shower. All our prep work -- and liquid lubrication -- was for naught.
And so, as our dreams of being hurricane rebels cane to an end, it came time to pay our tab. As luck would have it, the only cash I has was coin. My laundry quarters, to be exact. Nothing like drunkenly trying count change to pay your bar bill. I have a hard enough time when I'm sober figuring out bills -- I'm so right-brained that looking at a complicated restaurant tab gives me a headache. Don't ever ask me to be treasurer of anything. Tales of my financial shenanigans have caused more than one of my accountant-type friends to break out into hives. I kid you not. More on that later. Promise.
Leave it to me to turn an act-of-nature non-event into something that required Tylenol, Gatorade and a big greasy breakfast to soak up all the beer in my system. Ridiculous idea. Dumb idea. Stupid idea. But at the time, it made perfect, beautiful sense. Don't plans like that always?
PS: Had to include this video from one of my fave new groups, Black Kids. Damn good name for a song -- don't you think?

We spent Hurricane Elena in Clearwater, I was 16 and living with my parents and younger brother. At 2AM, my 80-something, approaching senility like a freight train, great aunt was evacuated from her Belleair condo and my Dad dutifully brought her to our home. We spent two days taking turns distracting her while the other three snuck into a back bedroom to eat as quickly as possible because she decreed that we were all "far too fat to eat". Literally, we could not eat or drink in front of her or she completely went off the edge. Every time I see thin sliced ham, I flash back to us chewing like mad so she wouldn't know we were eating while crouching behind furniture in my parent's bedroom. Ah, good times!

Have you ever heard of the Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along? Awhile back it was all over some of my favorite blogs, so I requested the book from the library. I was fascinated reading it. The background on it: In 1918 World War I ended; 1920 saw women with the right to vote; during these changing times:
Society was also beginning to see a change in young women's behavior, exemplified by the 'flapper'; and all were not pleased. In 1922, The Pittsburgh Observer noted, "a change for the worse during the past year in feminine dress, dancing, manners, and general moral standards," and warned against any '
"failure to realize the serious consequences in immodesty in girl's dress."
City people believed the farm woman to be a drudge and slave - that she was miserable and would be anxious to leave, if given the chance for a new live. However, The Farmer's Wife (popular women's magazine with approx 750,000 subscribers), believed this to be far from the truth.
So the editors of the magazine asked their readers a question: "If you had a daughter of marriageable age, would you, in light of your own experience, want her to marry a farmer?"
The editors asked participants to "consider this question in all its angles. Talk it over with your husband, your children and your friends. Consider not only the financial side of the question but the moral and physical viewpoint and the things that make for real happiness. You wish the best things in the world for your children. Would your daughter as a farmer's wife be better off - all things considered - then she would be in the city or town?"
The magazine offered cash prizes for the best 68 answers submitted. By the end of the contest... the editors were overwhelmed with the response from over seven thousand readers. When the opinions were tallied, it was found that the editors were correct: 94% of farm wives stated that they would, indeed, want their daughters to marry a farmer. (excerpts from The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt, by Laurie Aaron Hird)
The rest of the book contains the many letters submitted by these farmers wives, as well as the 111 quilt blocks they inspired. You really should read these letters. They are fabulous. So many of these ladies re-affirming what is really important in life. I found it amazing that women (even back then) felt the pull from the world, and the need to try to keep the important things...important.
Block 1- Attic Windows
Block 2 - Autumn Tints
Block 3 - Single Wedding Star (actually block 80)
Block 4 - Basket Weave
Block 5 - Bat Wing
Block 6 - Big Dipper
So... 6 down, and only 105 more to make!

Investment and products from abroad begin flowing—along with oil
Investment and products from abroad begin flowing—along with oil
By Stanley Reed and Nayla Razzouk
• Boosting private investment won't be easy. Officials were "raised in a statist environment"
Customers heading for a Baghdad branch of Dar Es Salaam Investment Bank know the drill. You walk through the entrance and heavily armed guards stop you. You get body-searched at least twice. And your phone is taken away before you reach a teller. Mobile phones, of course, can trigger bombs or send a signal to armed accomplices.
Yet Dar Es Salaam (known as DES) is thriving as Iraq begins to show signs of life. Profits have grown from about $600,000 in 2004 to more than $16 million. HSBC (HBC), the giant international bank that bought 70% of DES in 2005, feels so confident that it may put its own brand on the banks. "We think the timing is right," says James Hogan, HSBC's country manager. "Iraqis are starting to reconnect to the outside world."
Seven years after the ouster of Saddam Hussein, Iraq has changed. Yes, convoys of SUVs packed with heavily armed security men still roar down Baghdad's busy streets. Armed gangs still prey on truckers. Iraq's political class struggles to form a new government. The few expat managers in the country live like prisoners: Every night, HSBC's Hogan holes up in a walled compound run by a security company.
Ordinary Iraqis, however, are living more normally than they have in years. Shops on Saadoun and Karrada Streets are filled with flat-screen TVs, computers, and clothing from China, Turkey, Iran, and Korea. Pedestrians have to step around the Turkish and Iranian refrigerators and stoves piled outside. At night many Baghdadis relax watching one of the privately owned television channels that have sprung up, or checking the latest Iraqi Web sites.
Oil money from rising production is powering growth, as is pent-up demand for housing and better infrastructure. Now that the government has awarded oil-field contracts worth billions of dollars to BP (BP), ExxonMobil (XOM), China National Petroleum, and others, foreign clients are besieging Hogan for help in financing everything from pipelines to power grids to workers' camps. Suppliers are following in the majors' footsteps: Weatherford (WFT) for drilling, Centrilift (CAM) for pumps, Cameron for valves. The International Monetary Fund figures the economy could grow 7.3% in 2010. In 2003 the economy barely had a pulse.
The central bank, buttressed by the IMF, has stabilized the dinar at about 1,170 to the dollar (it was once 1,500) and has lowered inflation to single digits from a peak of 80% in 2006. Foreign reserves stand at about $50 billion. "This definitely gives predictability," says Marcel Cobuz, Iraq general manager of Lafarge, the French building-materials maker.
Lafarge gained its two Iraqi cement plants, both located near Sulaimaniya in Kurdistan, through its acquisition of Egypt's Orascom Cement in 2007. From this relatively safe base—Lafarge has never experienced a security incident—Cobuz is expanding into the trickier center and south of the country. Lafarge now sells almost half its 5-million-ton annual output in Iraq to construction companies in the Baghdad area. Figuring demand for cement can only grow, Cobuz may next buy derelict state-owned plants, refurbish them, and boost production. Construction, he reckons, will be up 15% this year.
One by-product of the regime's fixation on oil is that it has done little to encourage private investment, says Ali Allawi, a former Finance Minister: "[Officials] were raised in a statist environment. They don't see the connection between private-sector investment and reducing unemployment." Entrepreneurs who lack the funds to modernize their businesses struggle against better-financed rivals. Thabet Al-Beldawi, 80, owns an aluminum plant in Baghdad. He's down to 85 employees from 250 since the fall of Saddam Hussein. "There is a growing demand," he says. "But the market is full of cheap imports." Sami Al-Araji, chairman of the National Investment Commission, says the government is now "trying to emphasize the role of the private investor."
The most encouraging thing about Iraq is that outside investors press on. Schlumberger, the oil services company, is quickly moving $100 million into Iraq, in part to build a base camp that will employ 300 workers. Iraq Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani, who negotiated with the oil majors last year, thinks the oil fields will eventually generate 100,000 Iraqi jobs. Schlumberger's top brass are primed to hire: They figure the country is a Saudi-size opportunity and that up to 100 drilling rigs will be needed for what could be the biggest oil boom of all. The Iraqi people are ready.
The bottom line: Foreign direct investment is key to Iraq's revival, but the IMF figures less than $1 billion came in last year. That number could multiply fast.

When we first moved into our town home I was a bit concerned about the size of the kitchen. I really enjoy cooking and hosting and didn't think it would be quite big enough.
But, like with the rest of the house, as soon as I purged it of everything unnecessary, it is more than big enough and actually functions extremely well.
I've really appreciated having the counters clear of everything. Mentally, it makes cleaning up a breeze. If there is stuff on the counters, it means that it needs to get put away, I don't have to process "that stays out, that goes away…maybe I'll leave that out for now because I'll use it again tomorrow…" Instead, everything has a place out of sight and that is its home.
I keep serving dishes and my grandma's milk glasses on the shelves above the sink, they also double as decoration. The vintage pendant lights (Ikea) were a fun, inexpensive update to our kitchen–only $30 each.
But I think what most people want to see, at least I know that I did when I was getting rid of things, is how far do I go? How many plates? And cups? And spoons??? Here is a look inside our cupboards:
I have more than one plate/cup/bowl per person because the kids aren't quite old enough to wash their own yet, so for right now, I try and do the dishes once per day, and we have enough to eat a couple of meals before I need to do them.
And here's a look inside our pantry:
I don't like stocking up on grocery items (besides meat), because I usually forget that I have them…instead, I try to make a loose meal plan each week and get just enough groceries to get through the week.
I also really like the table set (still available at Ikea). The glass top makes the table appear to take up less space and the metal framed chairs are indestructible. Even the cane seats don't show any wear yet.
Let's head upstairs to the baby bedroom!

Wrapped in an illustrious blanket of dangerous colour and melody, In the Mood for Love is a dreamy cinematic escapade. Beauty drips from each intrepid detail as the camera glides about, intoxicating its audience with the appeal of intimacy devoid of touch, superseding not desire but sex. Aching in its lustful quality and tortuously enticing in its soft restraint, love is captured not within the limits of a melodramatic story, but fleshed out in all its rawness and urgency, allure buried thick in suggestion and movement. Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai's features are classically highly stylised works, appreciative of the paltry, transient quality of dialogue. Instead, he builds pictures resonant in their form, tone and feeling, rebelling against the standards of strongly narrative driven, 30-shots-per-minute sweeping romantic epics. Wong Kar-Wai reminds audiences of the intensity of emotion without event or tragedy. In the Mood for Love is set against the backdrop of a 1960s Hong Kong in an exiled, nostalgic Shanghainese community of narrow alleyways of walls of waxed posters, tiny, cluttered apartments and steaming noodle stalls by night. It tells the tentative tale of a man and women who move into neighbouring apartments with their spouses and grow close over respective suspicions of their partners' infidelity.
The exceptional qualities of the moving imagery are created of not one but two cinematographers: loyal collaborator Christopher Doyle responsible for the iconic slow-motion moving shots while the long shots detailed with fleeting beauties exhibit the handiwork of Taiwanese DoP Mark Lee Ping Bin. The distinctive styles of the filmmakers blend seamlessly into one. The seminal slow-motion montages are heightened by composer, Shigeru Umebayashi's, Yumeji's Theme, blatantly taken from Seijun Suzuki's 90s Japanese independent film, Yumeji. The reuse of an original score crafted for another movie entirely is almost unheard of, but when its cinema giant Wong Kar-Wai behind the camera, the rules of film shall bend. The result, of course, is only the making of a quintessential slow-motion sequence, a vibrant, elegant specimen studied to death at any film school. Drenched in the romance mystery nuance of Alfred Hitchock's Vertigo and the stream of consciousness quality of Andrei Tarkovsky's Mirror, the picture thrives on a consistent visual ambiguity which takes no pleasure or concessions in the idle or the pretentious. The spouses are seen only in silhouettes and heard as convenient voices, the man and woman are never shot in the same frame until the second half of the film. Emotional distance, variance and romantic longing are things to be visualised, not minimised to spoken word. Love has never been depicted so far from the sentimental yet so close to the tangible. Who would've suspected the most romantic film of the 21st century to be an ode to, of all forms of the love, the unrequited and unconsummated kind?

Teaching Jobs Overseas Topics: international teaching, teaching overseas, teaching abroad, American and international schools, overseas jobs, international employment, etc.
by Erik Richardson
Erick Richardson,
"Surprisingly, ... somehow there is a method to the madness"
|Since I had taken a
taxi one week before from school to the airport, I knew how much to
pay him. He, of course, made it sound like I was insulting him with
my offer. But, when I finally got to school, I gave him Rp. 40,000
(around $5), the price I had paid 7 days earlier, and started to
walk off. I suppose if he was really insulted with this fee he would
have come after me.
God, where do I begin. I guess the hardest thing to get used to is that a car whose hood sticks out farther than mine has the right-away, regardless of either of our speeds. That means, I can be doing 80 km per hour and a car doing a u-turn can get his headlights in front of my path. I have to slow down and let this person in.
It is so maddening because your "flow" in continuously being interrupted. Well, there really is no flow. Never have I driven anywhere when I can keep a constant speed. I'm always stopping for something.
Soon, though, you learns that this is just the way you must drive if you want to get anywhere. Small mini-vans called "bee moes" (bimos) stop in the middle lane of traffic to let people out or on the bus.
Larger buses belch filth and have breakdowns in the middle lane on the toll road (like a highway). People are always honking their horns, too. These guys on the mopeds are always lurking to your sides. They weave in and out of traffic (especially when it's stopped at a red light) and get very close to you.
It would seem dangerous, crazy, chaotic, and life-threatening to a Westerner. Surprisingly, though, people DO get where they need to go and somehow there is a method to the madness.
Police routinely signal "bad" drivers (whatever that means here) to pull over and pay a bribe. It will take forever to eradicate this element of the police department because they've been doing it for so long and everyone grows up knowing that bribes are a part of life.
In Indonesia, I'm always shelling out money to someone for something: Every time I park, I pay 10 cents to some random guy with a whistle who signals me out of my parking space (but who wasn't even there when I parked),
Every time I get to a red light there are boys playing one-stringed guitars, beggars of a variety of ages and deformities, transvestites, and people brushing off your clean car with a duster.
Every time someone does anything for you- 500 Rupiah. It is such a miniscule amount of money, but to always be dishing out cash gets a little ridiculous.
Here's an interesting tidbit: It's so humid here that after playing one half of soccer (45 minutes), my hands look like they've been in a bathtub for a whole day. They are all pruned, like a raison.
There is so much moisture floating around in the air. If you combine that with someone who sweats a lot (like I do), that equals frog-like fingers and palms! Yuck. I still keep on playing, though

While as an 'Alumni of the Chamber', we're expected not to reveal what we saw or indeed where we saw it on our own visit, we can say with confidence that our experience was marvellous. On the day of our booking, we received a text message at 4:30pm with details of the secret location – it's always a short walk from one of the stations on The East London Overground (that is, the Ginger Line) somewhere between Highbury & Islington & Crystal Palace.
Diners are advised to arrive in plenty of time so that you can have a drink and a look around the outer chamber before being whisked off for the multi-dimensional dining adventure. Upon entering the waiting room, we sampled – and recommend that you do too – one of their delicious rhubarb cocktails while we awaited our departure into five otherworldly dining dimensions.
Our lips are, of course, firmly sealed as to what the Chambers of Flavour actually hold within their walls. But we can tell you to expect inventive, completely believable sets, paired with delicious, at times too-beautiful-to-eat food. Gingerline have gone to incredible lengths to improve the quality of their cuisine since their last venture – and it really shows.
You'll be thrown into the sea, launched to the skies and taken back in time by a joyous troupe of in house actors. Immersive-phobes fret not, any awkwardness soon gives way to euphoria.
Please note that this experience is not suitable for people who do not like small spaces or have serious food allergies. Over 18s only. Terms and conditions apply.

Mar 31, 2010 - California Energy Markets
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Monday signed SB X8 34, a bill designed to expedite the licensing of large solar-power plants in the desert and create a state-run mitigation program for environmental impacts. On Wednesday Schwarzenegger signed SB 71, a measure that would eliminate sales and use taxes on clean-technology manufacturing equipment.
The governor signed SB X8 34 at a press conference at NextEra's Harper Dry Lake Solar Electric Generating System in Hinckley, currently the world's largest operating solar plant.
The bill authorizes the California Department of Fish and Game to buy and preserve land as mitigation for the impacts of large solar-thermal and photovoltaic projects on endangered and threatened species. The law will allow developers to pay a per-acre fee into a fund managed by DFG rather than carry out mitigation strategies themselves. Those fees will include the costs of acquiring and managing land as well as administrative costs of the program.
The bill pertains only to large solar-thermal and PV projects proposed in California's Colorado and Mojave deserts-within the planning area of the state Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan-that are seeking federal stimulus money and whose applications were accepted as complete as of Feb. 1 this year.
There are about 11 proposed solar-thermal projects being reviewed at the CEC and four PV projects under review by local counties that meet those requirements. Combined, the projects represent about 5,000 MW, according to Sen. Alex Padilla (D-San Fernando Valley), the bill's sponsor and chair of the Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications Committee.
According to the CEC, the list of solar-thermal projects includes BrightSource Energy Inc.'s Ivanpah Electric Generating Station; Solar Millennium's Palen, Blythe and Ridgecrest projects; NextEra's Genesis and Beacon projects; Tessera Solar's Calico and Imperial Valley projects; Abengoa Solar's Abengoa Mojave Solar Project, the Palmdale Hybrid Power Project; and SolarReserve's Rice Solar Energy Project.
"Today's action will help speed up the process for some of these projects to break ground this year and qualify for federal stimulus funding," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
The bill also requires solar developers covered by the bill to pay a retroactive permitting fee of $75,000 to DFG to assist in the permitting process. Renewables developers previously have been exempt from such fees. It also allows the CEC to spend more to retain staff and allows developers to pay the commission additional funds for third-party contractors to assist in analyzing projects.
The change in the way mitigation strategies will be carried out is perhaps the biggest piece of the bill. While the amount of mitigation will still be determined on a project-by-project basis, depending on project impact, the bill will help streamline the mitigation process, said Kevin Hunting, chief deputy director at DFG.
"It is simply a means to provide more certainty to everyone" from environmental groups to developers and their backers, he said.
The measure requires DFG within 60 days to develop an interim mitigation strategy focusing on habitat conservation, preservation and species enhancement.
Typically, mitigation plans for these types of projects include land acquisition and enhancement to make it better for target species, and long-term management, Hunting said.
Predicting costs for enhancement and long-term management is relatively easy, Hunting said, but land-acquisition costs are less predictable. Desert land can range from $300,000 to $500,000 an acre, he said.
The per-acre fees for the so-called in-lieu mitigation will actually be decided when a developer is issued a permit. Those fee negotiations could be an issue.
As of Wednesday, no developers had specifically said they would opt into the program, Hunting said.
Keely Wachs, a spokesman for BrightSource Energy, said the company was still looking at the implications of the bill. But he said he expected that BrightSource could make a decision on the program relatively quickly to bring "certainty into the [project] cost structure."
Alice Harron, senior director of development at Solar Millennium, said in an e-mail that the company would continue to explore all options for mitigation until the DFG develops its final regulations for the in-lieu mitigation program.
A diverse group of developers, trade associations and lobbying groups, environmental groups and utilities supported the bill. That group included the Chamber of Commerce, the Large-scale Solar Association, First Solar, NextEra, Tessera Solar, Defenders of Wildlife, Southern California Edison, the Nature Conservancy, and the Trust for Public Land.
Carl Zichella, director of Western renewables at the Sierra Club, expressed cautious optimism that the mitigation model proposed for fast-tracked renewables projects in the state could be a model going forward.
"We think it has a lot of promise," he said. "We're going to see how it works."
On Wednesday, the governor was at the headquarters of Nanosolar Inc. to sign SB 71, also sponsored by Padilla.
The bill specifically targets investments in clean technology, alternative energy and advanced transportation to help boost job growth. SB 71 passed the Legislature Monday.
"We are sending a clear message to manufacturers: locate and expand in California," Padilla said in a statement.
The sales-and-use-tax exemption will run through Jan. 1, 2021 and is capped at $100 million a year [Mavis Scanlon].

STEP TWO: Body language means everything
Remind your child how important it is to be aware of the power of their 'native tongue', regardless of what language they speak. Body language is the only language that's already hard-wired into our brains at birth, and without the ability to gauge another person's words within the context of their body language, their meaning can easily get misinterpreted. That's why kids need to be reminded that what they say isn't anywhere near as important as the way they say it.
When standing up to a bully, appearances count for everything. The statement, "You think you're cool but you're just a bully!" won't deter a bully if the speaker has hunched shoulders, fails to make eye contact, or is using a whiny tone of voice. Bullies can spot the kind of body language that telegraphs, "I'm not feeling sure of myself!" at 500 paces.
On the other hand, a child who stands just a little to close to the bully, with their shoulders squared, and making strong eye contact while saying, "Watch it!" is going to make a much stronger impression on the bully, even though their actual words may not be particularly eloquent.

Las Vegas' Bagel Café rated as among the 'Best in the West'
June 11, 2018 9:36 AM
by Robert Mann
The Brooklyn Bagel Blog has declared the bagels at Las Vegas' Bagel Café as among the "Best in the West" after surveying competitors in Seattle and in Venice, near Los Angeles as part of the site's, "West Coast Bagel Showdown."
The popular blog declared the Bagel Café the winner noting that the losers did not have double-sided toppings, lacked freshness and had a poorer bagel to cream cheese ratio. The winning Bagel Café bagel was also praised for its size and freshness by host Brooklyn Bagel Boy.
Savvas and Shari Andrews own and operate the Bagel Café at 301 North Buffalo Drive with a satellite operation, Del Mar Deli, at the South Point.

(b) refund any delivery costs you have paid, although, as permitted by law, the maximum refund will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer (if this is a common and generally acceptable method); and

9.7 Our site contains many Products. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Products on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that:
(a) where the Product's correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Products to you; and
(b) if the Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Product at the correct price or cancelling your order.

(a) we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible to notify you; and
(b) our obligations under a Contract will be suspended and the time for performance of our obligations will be extended for the duration of the event outside our control.

15.4 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these Terms, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.
15.5 If you are a consumer, please note that these Terms are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law.
