There are those who will forever be the victim and never see life as a whole. It's only pieces and parts of what's happened to them.
When you talk to them, and try to express yourself, they will twist every word, every sentence, and make it about them and how they are affected. They're happier. They're sadder. They hurt more. They're always feeling more than anything you're feeling. One-upping emotions is second nature to them.
They are so self absorbed they can't communicate without the conversation being turned around in their direction.
They can't simply ask, "How are you doing?", and let you answer fully. They'll always interrupt and answer the question for themselves.
They can't lend unconditional support because it's always, "Why haven't you done this [or that] for me?"
They make up things so they can feel less guilt within themselves.
They preach one thing, but do another.
They will turn everything into something about them.
They say they want to hear your thoughts, your feelings, and your opinions, but it's useless to go there; they'll railroad your words with their own.
They surround themselves only with people who'll pat them on the back and make them feel good, instead of with people who tell the truth and who are honest about how they truly feel.
With these type of people, communication is null and void. You will always be on the other side of the conversation, trying to get a word in edgewise. When you're done, you'll be exhausted from a talk that never really happened. A one-sided conversation isn't really a conversation… and they wonder why you never want to talk to them.
These kind of people are manipulators, and most likely, narcissists, but will NEVER, EVER see themselves that way. Remember, no matter what, they are completely justified in their thoughts and feelings.
They are always right and belligerent about what they believe, but say they hear other people's opinions and point of views, which is almost laughable.
They are tone-deaf. More than likely, they will never notice what they're doing, and if you point it out, they'll act dumbfounded and surprised. "What? I'm not being that way. You've got it all wrong."
With these type of people, it's easy to feel like:
You never do anything right.
The way you're feeling is wrong.
Your response is the wrong response.
You never do enough for them.
Your feelings are less than.
The most important thing to learn in dealing with these kind of people, is this: Find YOUR voice and stand firm in it.
Believe it or not, sometimes, standing firm in your voice means staying silent. Then, sometimes, it means you have to step over the line, and raise your voice above and beyond what you normally would. How to know when to stay silent and when to speak up is very tricky and confusing. For me, silence is my go-to, but when I feel pushed to the edge, my words will fly.
Finding a balance with manipulators is almost impossible. There may be times when you have to cut yourself free from them completely. However, in certain situations, it's very difficult, especially if it's family or a longstanding friendship. Don't make that decision lightly. Think hard before making the final cut; just distancing yourself could be the better answer.
In the end, keep in mind:
Your feelings count.
No matter how these people try to twist your words, your words are yours, and they mean something.
You can still love these people without being brought down by their actions (or lack thereof).
Never change to suit them. Be you, always.
Stand firm and stand strong.
Find peace within yourself and keep the loud voices of others outside your emotional space.
Until next time…

Conflict and confrontation… I avoid them at all cost. I hate them with a passion. It's who I am and I've been this way since I was child.
When some people would face issues head-on and speak their opinion, I normally stay quiet and put space between me and uncomfortable situations.
Just because I don't always speak up, doesn't mean I'm on board with something. In all honesty, some people say they're okay with something to make other people happy or to save face so they don't have to reveal what they truly feel.
My silence speaks more honestly than those who pacify with words.
I know I have a right to my feelings. I know I have a right to speak my feelings. The problem is, when I know my thoughts and feelings are going to be null and void, or compared to how others are feeling, and/or I'll be the outsider no matter what I say, I'll just hang back and feel my feelings without the need to express them. It's better for me that way.
I also can't stand when someone always tries to one-up other people's feelings with their own. Their feelings are more important, have more weight, and mean more, so why express mine? That's how I feel.
Just because I don't always speak up, doesn't mean I'm putting my feelings aside to pacify others. I just don't feel I have to throw up my feelings for all to hear. I think it's okay to stay in respective corners and move along with life.
There are people who surround themselves with only those who fill their glass with something they like to taste, who pat them on the back and make them feel good, who feed them verses that justify.
Like I was told as a child… "Birds of feather all flock together."
Me? I tend to have all kinds of different feathers, which normally doesn't fit in the mold of life that others like or require.
I'll be the lone bird with colorful feathers. I'm cool with that. Actually, I wouldn't have it any other way.
So, some would ask, "Amy, do you only speak your mind when it fits with those around you and when it doesn't make you feel uncomfortable?"
My answer is this: No, not necessarily. I speak my mind often. However, I am choosy about who I speak my mind with. I've learned some people say they're okay about me speaking my mind, but, in reality, they never make me feel that way. In these cases, silence is my go-to. And, guess what? That's my prerogative.
Do I wish I could be straight forward? Do I wish I could say what I feel without second thought? Do I wish I could be blunt?
Hmmm… no, not really. Maybe sometimes, but with my personality, I'll spend days recounting my words over and over and over again, feeling guilty and wishing I hadn't. It's just not who I am. I'm one who spends excruciating time trying to figure out what to say and when to say it. Yes, it can be a pain, but I've learned to embrace it.
Some would probably say I hide behind this blog and written words. Okay. I'll take that. Writing has always been my way of expression and I'm okay with it.
Until next time….

It's been nine long months since I last posted.
My mind and heart have been spinning in a whirlwind of emotions ever since.
However, it's time…
It's time to release ALL the words. It's time to get my emotions out in the open. It's time for me to share what's been on my mind and heart.
I'm going to try my best to not have a filter, which is very hard for me. I always think of who may read my blog and hold back accordingly. I will be as honest as I can be, which means it will inevitably bother some people, but these are my words, from my heart, from my mind, going onto my page. I can't, and won't, apologize for what's inside me.
So, here I go…
This past year has been very hard for me. Most everyone knows I lost my mom last April, which turned my world upside down.
Trying to get to South Carolina in time… the excruciating pain of not being able to say "I love you" one last time… not being able to hold her hand and say goodbye before she passed away– it's all burned in my heart, mind, and soul.
It happened way too fast. (If you want to read the post I wrote about it, go here.)
I don't think my heart has ever hurt so badly in my life. No… I know so. I swear it felt like my heart was glass and had shattered into tiny pieces everywhere.
My mom was the one person in my life who knew me inside and out. She always understood me. She loved me unconditionally. She never made me feel like I should be or act like anyone but myself. She had a way of knowing what I was thinking and feeling, even though I was hundreds of miles away. She would check in on me like a mom, but listened like a friend. I always knew I could call and talk to her until I couldn't talk anymore, and everytime before hanging up, she would say, "I always love our talks and I love you."
I would give anything to hear those words again.
Weeks after her death, I felt an emotion creep inside me. I wasn't all that surprised, but when mixed with grief, it's all encompassing and taxing.
I was so angry.
If only she would have gone to the doctor sooner. If only the large bruises, nosebleeds, fatigue, and horrible headaches would have SCREAMED, "GET TO THE DOCTOR, NOW!" If only she had gotten a second opinion after the first time she went to the doctor. If only she hadn't gone on a trip and stayed home and listened to what her body was trying to tell her.
If only… I may not have lost my mom.
Yes, beating cancer would have been a long road, and it wouldn't have been easy, but she would have fought so hard. She wasn't ready to go. She wasn't.
One thing that pisses me off about grief is how people try to quantify it. You can't do that. You can't say your grief is bigger and deeper than anyone else's. By doing that, you belittle the grief of those around you. You should respect how others are feeling. Respect their breaking hearts. Respect the depth of how much they're hurting. You can't do that while saying you're grieving more.
There are other things that have truly gotten to the core of me during this grieving process… things I wasn't ready for, and still aren't ready for, but… to use my husband's words… it is what it is.
It's hard to overcome, but I'm working on it as much as I possibly can. I've learned I need to rid myself of the anger to allow as much room as possible in my heart for Mom's loving memory. That's what matters the most.
Now, onto to the next feeling, that when mixed with grief, and anger, it's even more encompassing and taxing.
What do I feel guilty about? Let me list the ways….
Over the last year:
I've been a horrible friend.
I've been a horrible daughter, sister, sister-in-law, granddaughter, aunt…
I don't call enough.
I don't message enough.
I've been a bit of a hermit.
I go from happy to sad in a millisecond.
I clam up.
I don't know how to express myself like I used to.
I know… I know… "Amy, don't feel guilty over these things. They're normal during the grieving process."
I get that. I really do. However, I can't deny I feel guilty ALL THE TIME.
I apologize to everyone close to me for how distant I've been. Staying in my little bubble has been a protective shelter and I know I need to pop the bubble at some point.
I hold onto guilt more than I do anger, so I need to work hard on letting it go. It's a process, just as everything else has been, and that's okay.
The next phase of grief is coming toward me. I feel it inching its way in. I'm sure it'll be snail-like in its progress, but I will welcome it…
I know the loss of my mom will always be a part of me. I will never get over her not being physically in my life, nor would I want to.
I love her so very much. We had a special relationship and I miss her to the deepest part of my heart.
I'm so blessed to have had such an amazing woman as a mom and friend.
She comes to me in my dreams often. I can feel her during my simple days and my hard days. I feel her when she's proud of me. I feel her wrap her arms around me when I'm sad. I feel her laugh when I laugh. I feel her smile down on me when she knows I'm happy.
I feel her.
And, for that, I'm so thankful.
I may not be able to pick up the phone and call her, but I can speak to her amazing spirit and know she hears me, which heals a small piece of me each and every day.
Before I sign off, I need to give love and thanks to my husband.
Chris, you are my rock. You have been so patient, loving, giving, supportive, and understanding. I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you for loving me. — I love you.
For the last words of this post, I want to quote one of my favorite authors. She says it well…
"A daughter without her mother is a woman broken. It is a loss that turns to arthritis and settles deep into her bones." — Kristin Hannah
Continue to rest in peace, Mom. I love you.

Mornings are bleary.
Nights hurt like hell.
The in-between is lack luster.
Something is most definitely missing.
Being forced into the grieving world, one I've never been in like this before, is like being pushed into a pool during a Vermont winter's night.
It stings. It shocks. It numbs.
Even though I know how to dog paddle, swim, and even breast-stroke, I can't quite get to other side. Through the flaying arms of grief, through trying to float on my back, through the tears of fear, I need a life-saver.
There are these moments– sometimes, they're only 30 seconds… sometimes, they're 30 minutes… but not much more– these moments quickly go by where I'm brushing my teeth, I'm working out, grocery shopping, working on edits, and in the midst of the moment, I forget I'm grieving. Life has happened.
When I smile, or laugh, is when I pop out of it, and realize I'm feeling not sad. I question the happiness.
There are moments I cave, begin to cry again, and fall back in the pool.
Then, sometimes, there's a nudge… a twist of the shoulder.
Amy, go with it. I want you to laugh. I want you to smile.
And, I do… Example:
Just the other day, I responded to a text about what Chris and I are doing for Fourth of July. Normally, it'd seem like a boring, neutral text, right? Well, not so much with Maeghan. Before I know it, we're sending voice texts back and forth of nothing but laughter. I laughed until I cried and none of the tears were from sadness.
Laughs are the tiny cracks in grief. They allow for breath, reprieve from the fog, a quick lesson in life, which is, life has to continue.
Mom has been so close by. She's been just beyond the veil of life… so close, I feel like I can touch her. I know I've felt her hug me. I know I've felt the brush of her fingers on my arm. I know she's been there to pull me out of a hard cry when I'm gasping for air.
From just beyond… on the other side, a slight whisp of air touches my ear. No, not literally, but almost… almost.
It's so clear, I hear…
Breathe, Amy. Breathe. I'm here. Just breathe.
When I'm floundering in the pool of grief, Mom throws me a life saver.
I choose to believe she has a lifetime supply of those touches and whispers. I know I'll need them for as long as I live.
Yes, for now, in this early phase of grief, I'll need a lot.
As time goes, I'll need fewer.
Then, BAM, it'll all creep back, and I'll end up in the pool again.
She'll be there.
The funny thing about the pool and lifesaver analogy is… Mom wasn't a fan of water or swimming. She hardly ever got in the deep end of the pool.
Thankfully, she was great at life, and being a mom. She can be my lifeguard from the other side any day. Whether she quietly brushes by, or takes hold, and shakes me, I'll welcome her.
I'll ride freely through the ups and downs. I'll feel the sadness. Cry. Scream. Laugh. Cry again. But, no matter what, I won't stop riding.
Until next time…

My apologies. August's Field Visit report is both late and short.
August rather got away from me, but when a friend of mine said she'd seen both a water rat and some echidnas along the Bundidgerry walking track beside Narrandera's Lake Talbot I decided to go try my luck. My friend took me to where she'd seen them, but unsurprisingly they weren't hanging out in the same places when we got there, so no water rat or echidnas for me.

One might expect that Google is going to give the stock Android client interface a visual upgrade.
Records and screenshots have been discovered by Android Police which uncover the updated icons appearing in the Android scene soon enough. Allegedly, the new bearing in Android iconography is named Moonshine.
It is like the style utilized by Google for its online administrations, and uses icons meant to compliment the user. It must be noted that the leaked icons may not be the final ones as everything is liable to change prior to this information being revealed as one that is official.
Subtle elements on the introduction of the new Android icons are yet to be uncovered. It is expected though; the Android users will be pleasantly surprised with the official information regarding the icons at the Google I\O developer conference.

2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cuvée des Cadettes, Ch. La Nerthe
Red | Ready, but will keep | Château La Nerthe | Code: 10868 | 2010 | France > Rhône > Châteauneuf-du-Pape | Southern Rhône Blend | Medium-Full Bodied, Dry | 14.5 % alcohol
Made from equal proportions of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, and aged in new barrique this is the nearest the Rhône come to a Pomerol. The velvety texture coats a most generous fruit-basket. This will need a decade to really sing; the 2005 is not quite as good, and is still very closed!
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012
La Nerthe is one of the few Rhône properties where the grandeur of the wines is perfectly captured by the property itself. Our Fine Wine team love to visit because everything, the elegance of the wines included, makes them think that they are in Bordeaux. Christian Voeux is particularly pleased with the 2010 vintage which, he advises, shares the rigour and precision of the 2005 and the generous fruit character of the 2007. As the 2007 la Nerthe was our best-seller of that particular vintage, these are words that we are happy to hear...
Scores and Reviews
The Wine Advocate
The Wine Advocate - Not unexpectedly, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes (a blend of 39% Mourvedre, 35% Syrah and the rest Grenache, aged in small barrels) is a long-term proposition for Rhone wine enthusiasts. Dense bluish/purple to the rim, with notes of blueberry, black raspberry liqueur, kirsch, spice box, vanillin, graphite and licorice, the wine is extraordinarily complex, deep, full-bodied and juicy, with a sweet, luxurious mid-palate and long finish with moderately high tannin. Give this wine a good 5-6 years of cellaring, as it should age for 30-35 years. Christian Voeux, the general administrator at La Nerthe, told me that of all the wines made at the estate since 1998, this has the highest dry extract and polyphenols ever measured, even richer than their 2001 Cuvee des Cadettes.
Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 31/10/2012
Parker - In most vintages, there are about 1,000 cases of the luxury cuvee, the Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes. The 2010 (a 100% barrel-aged blend of nearly equal parts Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre) exhibits a dense purple color, great acid, ripe tannin and is clearly a modern day classic meant to age for three decades or more. Notes of cassis, blackberries, camphor, graphite and licorice emerge from this full-bodied, pure, intense, super-layered Chateauneuf du Pape. The tannins are sweet, the acidity is fresh, and the pH is a healthy 3.6.
This 2010 should behave somewhat like the brilliant 2001, needing 7-8 years of bottle age, and drinking well over the following 25+ years.
(Robert Parker - Wine Advocate #197 Oct 2011)
One of Chateauneuf du Pape's classic estates, Chateau La Nerthe's 225+ acres are all located in the southeastern quadrant of the appellation. A property that can trace its history back to 1560, La Nerthe was also one of the first estate bottlers. It was acquired by the Richard family in 1985, and they immediately turned this once run down estate around. Long-time manager, Alain Dugas, has quietly slipped into retirement, turning the estate over to his assistant, Christian Voeux.

The Producer
Château La Nerthe has a history stretching back to 1560. The Château itself is one of Châteauneuf`s most elegant buildings and was built in 1760. This large property, with over 90 hectares of vines, has had a chequered history and it has been only since its purchase in 1985 by the Ricard family that its true potential has come to be realised.
In the capable hands of Alain Dugas the Estate has been making wines that are fully worthy of such a grandiose setting. With a focus on organic viticulture and a winemaking regime which juxtaposes modern stainless steel and very old cement, the wines are made with great skill and attention to detail. In 2008, Alain Dugas retired, and Christian Voeux took over from him.
La Nerthe's wine is firmly in the modernist camp of accessible Châteauneufs; softer tannins than in Beaucastel or Vieux Télégraphe, and ready to drink earlier. Almost all La Nerthe wines are vinified in wood, many in small barrels, which is rare in Châteauneuf. No filtering takes place. The white wines are richer in fruit than most other white Châteauneufs.
Other wines by this producer:
The Grape
The vast majority of wines from the Southern Rhône are blends. There are 5 main black varieties, although others are used and the most famous wine of the region, Châteauneuf du Pape, can be made from as many as 13 different varieties. Grenache is the most important grape in the southern Rhône - it contributes alcohol, warmth and gentle juicy fruit and is an ideal base wine in the blend. Plantings of Syrah in the southern Rhône have risen dramatically in the last decade and it is an increasingly important component in blends. It rarely attains the heights that it does in the North but adds colour, backbone, tannins and soft ripe fruit to the blend.
The much-maligned Carignan has been on the retreat recently but is still included in many blends - the best old vines can add colour, body and spicy fruits. Cinsault is also backtracking but, if yields are restricted, can produce moderately well-coloured wines adding pleasant-light fruit to red and rosé blends. Finally, Mourvèdre, a grape from Bandol on the Mediterranean coast, has recently become an increasingly significant component of Southern Rhône blends - it often struggles to ripen fully but can add acidity, ripe spicy berry fruits and hints of tobacco to blends.
The Region
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the largest and most important wine appellation in the southern Rhône. It is home to more than 3,200 hectares of vineyards and over 80 growers; more wine is produced in Châteauneuf than the whole of the northern Rhône put together. The vineyards are bounded to the west by the Rhône river and to the east by the A7 autoroute.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape was the first ever Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée established in France, in 1932. Small, rounded rocks from the ancient river bed known as galets roulés are a key aspect of what makes Châteauneuf -du-Pape wines so distinctive, with the rocks reflecting heat back into the vines at night, thus increasing ripeness and reducing acidity.
The gloriously rich red wines, redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, are enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several grape varieties. Fourteen are permitted for reds: Grenache, Mouvedre, Syrah, Cinsault, Vaccarese, Counoise, Teret Noir, Muscadin, Picpoul Noir, Clairette, Grenache Blanc, Rousanne, Picpoul Gris and Picardin. With red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Grenache typically dominates with Syrah and Mourvèdre in support.
White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is becoming increasingly sought-after, even though it represents less than 10 percent of the total production. Here, five grapes are permitted: Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Picardin.

Restaurant News & Reviews
Get your big fat Greek salad on Original Greek food truck
The Place: The Original Greek operates from a mobile kitchen in a bright blue food truck that can be found in Wynwood and various locales two hours south or north. The blue and white Greek flag flaps by the logo depicting a trio of Greek islands in a white sea done like a woodcut print. Order at the counter and take your food to go or stand and scarf your gyros at one of two high-top tables. The truck is out mostly in late afternoon and evening. There are plans to move into a permanent location with an expanded menu before the end of the year, with the truck participating in events like the Wynwood art walk and roundups and available for on-site catering.
The History: Greek-American owner Michael Kritikos served in the Greek army to honor his heritage. His parents are from a village on the island of Karpathos between Crete and Rhodes in the Aegean Sea. They emigrated to Cleveland in the early '60s and both worked in factories until opening street food stalls around the city. Michael had his own stand in the worst part of town when 13, so he learned street smarts (a family spy kept an eye on him). He studied international marketing at the University of Akron and did some import export business but ended up helping a good friend open a Mediterranean restaurant in the Little Italy of Cleveland. In 2011 he came to Fort Lauderdale to run an exclusive restaurant and club. When the food truck trend hit he invested in a custom-built truck with a kitchen he designed. He also owns the OG Meat Distributing Co., delivering 60-pound stacks of hand-sliced meats for gyros and other sandwiches to restaurants in Florida and the Bahamas.
The Food: All items served are made from mother Joanna's recipes passed down through the generations. Gyros are the specialty, with stackers slowly rotating on vertical electric rotisseries. The outside of the meat is sliced vertically in thin shavings once the outside is crisp, with lower parts basted with juices running off the upper part. Gyros include pork, chicken, lamb and falafel with pita bread, red onion slivers and diced tomatoes with thick yogurt tzatziki with dill dusted in oregano and paprika, all good with skin-on Greek fries with crumbled feta. Spreads include chickpea hummus and Kalamata olive tapenade with grilled pita triangles. Dolmades are pliant grape leaves stuffed with lemony rice with tzatziki. The spanakopita is a golden coil baked in the truck's oven just before opening. Of course there's a big fat Greek salad and walnut baklava sticky with honey syrup.
You Didn't Know This: There is evidence from the Mycenaean Greek and Minoan periods that Greeks were the first to create gyros. Gyros, pronounced "yeeros," means "to wind up" in Greek. Originally, the term referred to intestines wound around a spit and broiled. Gyros comes from the Greek word "gheereezo," meaning to turn a stacked pile of thinly sliced meat on a vertical spit, traditionally pork or chicken. Surprisingly, in Greece you will not find lamb gyros, as lamb is reserved for cooking at home.

April is the peak season for broad beans ( favas )and peas ( ervilhas ). Although the first pods appear in the markets as early as March, signalling the beginning of spring.One glance at menus will show that risotto made with peas and or broad beans is currently the dish of the season...Gone are the days when the only bean ever to to appear on restaurant plates was the ultra fine french bean,and the only pea, a mangetout.I drew my inspiration for this dish from the River Cafe cook book, Green.What drew me to this particular recipe was the fact that every part of the pea is used.After podding you save the pods and boil them in salted water and then pass them through a mouli, which results in an astoundingly sweet emerald purée that you stir through the risotto.I enhanced the dish with mint and chives for an added springtime flavour. I also used two extra cheeses which were not in the original recipe, mascarpone for a round creamy finish and some Requeijao ( Portuguese curd cheese ).
Risotto di favas , ervilhas e suas descascas
serves 6
2kg broad beans in their pods ( choose young,bright green thin pods )
1kg fresh young peas in their pods washed
Flor de sal and freshly ground black pepper
200g unsalted butter,softened
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
handful of mint leaves for garnish
small bunch of chives for garnish
1.75 litres chicken stock
200g spring onions chopped
300g risotto rice
100g parmesan,freshly grated
125 g requeijao
2 tablespoons mascarpone
Pod the broad beans and the peas. Keep the pea pods. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.Add the pea pods and cook for 5 minutes.Remove with a slotted spoon.Put through a mouli, then add 2-3 tablespoons of the cooking water.Blanch the peas in the boiling salted water,drain and add to the pea-pod pulp.Season and add 25g of the butter.
Add the broad beans to a clean pan of unsalted boiling water, and cook for 2-4 minutes.Drain and when cool remove the skins with your fingers then add 25g of the butter, the parsley and salt and pepper.Put half of this into the food processor and pulse-chop.Return to the whole beans.Heat the stock and check for seasoning.
Melt half the remaining butter in a large, thick-bottomed saucepan.Gently fry the onion until soft and beginning to colour.Add the rice, stir to coat each grain with butter, and cook for 2-3 minutes.When the rice is opaque,start adding the hot stock ladle by ladle, adding the next only when the rice has absorbed the last.. Stir continuously. Continue to cook until the rice is al dente, about 15 minutes.
Finally,stir in the peas and their pea-pod liquor,the broad beans ,requeijao and mascarpone.Add the remaining butter,and stir in the parmesan.Serve immediately

5 Salon-Style Frames
Hanging frames is one of the simplest and fastest ways to fill up empty wall space. Make this old technique your own by experimenting with salon-style framing, which involves many small frames clustered together. Your photo album is a good source of images from vacations and family history. Add a few fine art pieces and rotate the frames on display regularly to add new events and people.
4 Textured Paint
Certain colors can make a plain wall look interesting, but adding texture to the surface will take the wall to the next level. Textured paints are available in a range of colors. You can also paint a wall any color you like, and then apply a textured glaze that lets the color show through, creating a subtle, bumpy surface. Textured walls can mimic other materials in the room, such as stone, brick and fabric.
3 Wall-Mounted Headboards
Headboards aren't just for beds. Hang antique headboards or large, finished planks of wood behind furniture. Use brackets that attach to the wall studs for heavier pieces. Wall-mounted headboards will protect the wall itself from damage if a desk, dresser or bed is pushed against it repeatedly. It will also help accent the furniture in front of it, creating a focal point in the room.
2 Creative Shelving
Shelves provide much-needed storage space or a dramatic, central place to show off certain objects. Shelving doesn't need to be boring or traditional. Floating shelves, which attach without visible brackets, give a clean, modern look, allowing your guests to focus on what's on the shelves, not the shelves themselves. Most shelves can be painted to match the wall or with a contrasting color. Apply wallpaper to shelves to bring pattern and color to an otherwise flat, neutral wall.
1 Oversize Storage
Whether you have a cozy apartment or a spacious home, storing oversize items can be difficult. Specialty wall brackets, which attach to wall studs, can hold large, heavy items out of the way. A well-designed bicycle rack, for example, can become a piece of wall art when it's not in use. In the bathroom or kitchen, brackets can support cabinets and sinks right on the wall, saving floor space.

I'm the type that likes facts, and I don't always enjoy issues within verses that I believe are too vague to be dogmatic about. But still, these verse and issues need to be evaluated. I bring this up because of the topic I'm writing of now, and will continue to write of for at least one or two more posts—the beast that was, is not and will come, and the seventh and eighth kings of Revelation 17. There are so many conclusions concerning these kings and this mystery beast that will come, and I admit that I am not completely satisfied with all of my conclusions, but no matter what position I try to consider it seems that I always end up concluding that my belief seems like the most viable one (don't we all?). I refuse to speak dogmatically about this topic, but I will do my best to present my case the best I know how to as I hold the opinion that we will just have to wait and see to know for sure.
And for the record, if anyone desires to come forward claiming that they have the contents of Revelation 17 nailed down to factual conclusions with no "ifs," "ands" or "buts," I would like to stress that I believe that anyone that speaks dogmatically about every detail in chapter 17 is at the very least, foolish, and quite possibly even stupid beyond recovery! That being said, blogs and web sites are a perfect place for every kind of individual under the sun to express their every opinion, and it is certainly your right to be dogmatic if you desire, but I think wisdom advises against it.
Revelation 17:7-8
And the angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction and those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come."
It seems quite obvious, at first, that the beast that "was and is not and will come" must be the same beast spoken of in the previous verse that carried the woman. At first glance it flows perfectly. After all, the angel in verse seven said that he was going to tell John the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, and then continues in verse eight by saying, "The beast that you saw." But it also, for more than one reason, seems to me that something else is going on here.
The beast spoken of in verse seven is a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns (Rev. 17:3). As I've attempted to show in previous posts this beast's heads represent beast empires, or the kings of those empires, while the ten horns represent kings that will be present when the future eighth king reigns. How can this beast that is a combination, or a collage, of all of these entities, be the beast that "was, and is not?" This scarlet beast is not an individual king, an individual empire, spirit, or even the individual himself (Satan). How can a beast that is made up of seven kings of seven empires, and of ten more kings (including the final, and eighth) be spoken of as something that "was, and is not, and is about to come?" It no longer flows smoothly as it first seems to as it's simply read from verse seven to verse eight.
Furthermore, we know that Rome is in existence at the time of this vision, and considering the fact that Rome is one of the heads of this scarlet beast it seems unlikely that it could also be included in an entire scarlet beast that "was, and is not." Rome is (or the king of Rome "is" v. 10) , while the beast of verse eight "is not," therefore, again, it seems that the entirety of the scarlet beast is not in view here.
I believe the vision makes a beast shift in verse eight and begins speaking of an individual beast. Some will say that this interpretation is very awkward, and I understand this, but as I've considered this for many years I do not think that it is awkward.
What if, instead of simply continuing to speak of the entirety of the scarlet beast, the angel begins explaining the scarlet beast by speaking of one aspect of the entire beast system by focusing in on only one of it's many beastish parts? After all, the explanation to John continues in this manner by explaining one aspect at a time. The angel explains what the seven heads are, what the ten horns are, that there is an eighth king and that the ten kings will be in cahoots with the eighth. All of these revelations are small aspects of the entire scarlet beast that, when combined, make up the scarlet beast in all its "glory."
Therefore, in verse seven, when the angel says, "I will tell you the mystery…of the beast," and then continues in verse eight by speaking of "the beast you saw," it no longer has to be the same entire scarlet beast he just mentioned because the focus shifts to begin speaking of individual parts of the scarlet beast so that John would gain the full picture once the explanation was complete. I will come back to this textual beast shift later.
I think that the "beast that you [John] saw (v. 8)" is referring to the beast that John previously saw in his vision that we have recorded for us in chapter thirteen. The beast. The Antichrist. He will wage war against the saints and will overcome them and he will demand worship from the world (Rev. 13:7-8) until his inevitable destruction by the Son, our redeemer.

Remember when Barack Obama told the American people that if he couldn't fix the economy (not like a president has that power anyway), that it would be a one term proposition? Well, apparently he didn't mean it. In fact, in a speech at Illinois' Knox College, Obama blasted Republicans for his five years of a failing economy, blaming it on "distractions, political posturing and phony scandals."
The speech is the "same old same" old from Obama. He talks about roads and bridges that need repair, fighting those making too much money and fighting poverty, all of which continue to exist. One of the points he made really made me chuckle and that is how he continues to promote the idea of "saving the auto industry." In light of the recent admission by the city of Detroit that they are bankrupt and the fact that General Motors is building plants in Mexico, after stiffing taxpayers for $10 billion, I just shook my head at the outright lies this man tells.
Trending: How Could Stanley Ann Dunham Have Delivered Barack Hussein Obama In August Of 1961 in Hawaii, When Official University Of Washington Records Show Her 2,680 Miles Away In Seattle Attending Classes That Same Month?
"Today, five years after the start of that Great Recession, America has fought its way back. Together, we saved the auto industry, took on a broken health care system, and invested in new American technologies to reverse our addiction to foreign oil and double wind and solar power," Obama said. "Together, we put in place tough new rules on big banks, and protections that cracked down on the worst practices of mortgage lenders and credit card companies. We changed a tax code too skewed in favor of the wealthiest at the expense of working families, locking in tax cuts for 98% of Americans, and asking those at the top to pay a little more."
First and foremost the auto industry was not dying, just General Motors. Ford didn't have their hand out and neither did many auto manufacturers. The real issue was Obama was out to pay his buddies back for helping him get into office.
Second, the health care system is broken far more now than it was when he took office. In fact, it's so broken, that his administration is pushing back certain aspects of his "not so" Affordable Care Act for an entire year.
It's true he did change the tax code, in more ways than one. He, along with Congress, did stick it to the American people for sure when they did their little fiscal cliff deal earlier this year and Nancy Pelosi basically said that the Democrats aren't done taxing Americans!
As for his investments, I mean, redistribution of wealth to wind and solar companies, we saw how that worked out. Solyndra, anyone? That entire fiasco was more pay back and a complete waste of American's money,but what did David G. Frantz, Obama's Acting Executive Director of the Department of Energy Loan Program back in July of 2012 say about those loans, including those to Solyndra? He said the Department of Energy's loans were and "enormous success."
Ultimately it led to thousands of jobs lost and literally billions of dollars squandered, all at the expense of the American taxpayer.
We've got 50 million people on food stamps and 23 million people unemployed. Our gas prices are averaging about $3.68 per gallon and yet we keep getting stuck with the tab for Obama's Keynesian economic incompetence.
Ah, but that was just the warm up. Instead of taking blame for his agenda's failure, he turns to Republican and blames the economy on "distractions, political posturing and phony scandals."
"With an endless parade of distractions, political posturing and phony scandals, Washington has taken its eye off the ball. And I am here to say this needs to stop. Short-term thinking and stale debates are not what this moment requires. Our focus must be on the basic economic issues that the matter most to you – the people we represent," Obama said.
Hmmm. Well, let's see. Was Operation Fast and Furious, which his Justice Department and ATF oversaw and which resulted in the deaths of 2 federal agents and hundreds of Mexicans, including a beauty queen and police chief phony? How about Benghazi and his administration knowingly engaging in lies to the American people about it and then knowingly did nothing to help Americans who were under attack from Muslim jihadists? Was that phony? Was it phony that Obama's IRS targeted his political enemies? Was it phony that Obama's NSA has been spying, apparently unlawfully, on millions of Americans? Was it phony that his Justice Department were sticking their noses where they didn't belong when it came to AP and other media reporters?
I didn't even mention that a budget has yet to be passed under his administration and he has overseen four consecutive years of over $1 trillion in deficits, while claiming to cut deficits, plus an ever growing national debt. Obama is a big believer in taxing and spending your way to prosperity. The only problem is, it's an illusion.
It's true there are lots of distractions, but those aren't among them. Obama just sticks to the playbook and continues to blame everyone and everything for his failures, but himself.
Here's the entire speech, if you can stomach it.

Foggy has asked a handful of M.E. sufferers to write a blog post so that readers can see/understand how varied and wide ranging M.E. can be. He has chosen someone from each of these areas: Young, severe and 'recovered' to tell their story. This blog post is written by an 18 year old young woman called Daniella Russo.
|Beautiful 'fighter'..... does Daniella look ill? Just shows that M.E. is an invisible illness.
Hello there!
Before I begin I'd better tell you a little about me- paint the picture so to speak. My name is Daniella Russo and I am an 18 year old cat-lover who is addicted to chocolate, life and shoes... and I just happen to suffer with chronic migraine and- just my luck- another chronic illness called M.E.
My Dreams:
- A good, restful nights sleep!!
- To work for Disney- preferably as a Princess with a Palace.
- To be able to hold a normal job.
- To be understood and loved.
- To marry Channing Tatum/ Olly Murs/ Ryan Gosling (I'm not picky -we can all dream!)
- To be happy.
- To be healthy.
My Fears:
- That I can't reach my full potential and the very high standards I set for myself.
- Spiders of all shapes and sizes, irrationally so!
- That I won't find "The One" and love my fairytale (because how can you meet people when you spend your life in bed- well, not the kind I want to meet!).
- That I will feel like I have slept or watched my life go by...
- That many more members of my family or friends will fail to understand my illness and I will lose them too; I have lost many already.
Hopefully you feel like you know me a little better now and, if not, you probably think I'm a little bit nuts... which is quite accurate, actually!!
Back to business:
I was diagnosed less than a year ago, despite doctors recognising that all these symptoms were progressively ruling my life since 2011. I developed this condition following a bad case of glandular fever; however, post-viral fatigue (leading to M.E) is not the only cause for the onset.
One of the main issues with M.E is that it isn't spoken about enough. This means there isn't enough: education; research; funding or compassion for this disabling illness. Which is why (with many thanks for the invite to share with Foggy) I am going to share my fight and, hopefully you'll agree, my success, up to this point, with you.
So, to have looked this far and to have reached this blog you must have some link to M.E., I assume. Therefore I welcome you! Whether you're curious to learn more or suffer yourself and are searching for someone who understands, I'm going to give you a really brief lowdown on what it is and what it means for me and my life.
Actually, let me backtrack a little now. As a sufferer, I can't seem to find a definition that does it justice. Perhaps this is because it is a different experience for everyone with M.E as there are so many symptoms and problems which occur as a result of it. The frustrating thing is, because it is different for everyone, there is no one definition that summarises M.E and this means diagnosis and understanding is extremely difficult. So, in an attempt to summarise it, I'm going to write my own, personal definition- so here goes!
To me, M.E is an overwhelmingly disabling illness that, whenever I want to do something, tries to stop me from succeeding by attacking: my body, my spirit and my mind. It's as if, out of all your bodily functions, only a few can work fully at any one time. This means you're never at full health and have to always fight through something as best possible. Basically, it's one thing after the next!
But that's it- it's a fight. Which means it hasn't won yet.
Inevitably, due to my age, the main impacted area of my life far has been my education; I suffered through my GCSE's, AS' and my final year of A-level exams.
For my A-levels, most recently, I studied: Sociology, Business Studies with Economics and English Language. In retrospect, it was my most difficult year yet battling M.E. as I consistently failed to maintain concentration to work and the energy necessary to get up to attend college. Often bedridden, I pushed myself to the extreme on the rare occasions I felt I could work.
In the lead up to my exams I was shattered; this isn't any kind of tiredness someone of relatively good health can comprehend- this is the unspeakable lack of ability to move or think... It's zombie mode! In fear I was sleeping my days away, I often doubted whether I should sit my exams at all as I didn't possess the energy to catch up what I had missed due to my low attendance, let alone revise. So why bother to put myself through all this pain and struggle to force myself to sit them? After all, I thought, I was surely going to fail myself and be disappointed beyond belief... it would only be a reminder of how I am not able to live up to my potential.
Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. I am now the proud owner of 2 As in English Language and Business and an A* in Sociology at A-Level!!!! (Yes, I'm a nerd!) *Well done!!! Doggy snogs from Foggy!!*. I also have an unconditional place at my chosen university (NTU) to study Marketing, beginning September 2015; this is due to me having to take the decision to defer my place in order to improve my health after being advised by both my teachers and- more importantly- my doctors. I was extremely lucky my parents were supportive of my decision.
I've been told on numerous occasions that it seems to hit those who want to take the world and run at 100mph to grasp everything in life and do as much as possible. I've been told that people could see me as "The next Prime Minister" if I wasn't suffering with illness... Who knows, perhaps I still may be.
I hope it proves and inspires other young sufferers, we can still achieve- and it means more when we do because we've had to overcome the full equivalent of trying to juggle whilst completing a Marine-level obstacle course called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
Yes -it's disabling. Yes -it may feel like it has us defeated sometimes... BUT, WE ARE FIGHTERS. And I sure as hell think I'm giving it a good run for it's money- I will not be held down, not today and not tomorrow.
We are a success. Somedays it may only stretch to (as most would consider) basic chores such as showering or doing the dishwasher... But others perhaps we can be unstoppable. It may take us longer. It may be harder. It may feel damn right impossible. But WE ARE a success.
For those who don't suffer: all we can ask is that you try to understand us (even if it makes no sense), love us, don't abandon us, be patient and support us. Also, thank you for caring enough to listen to my story.
For those who do: 'good luck' for the future and 'well done' for surviving and fighting it all this far. We can do it and I am confident that it will improve for us in the future. With dedicated angels (like Foggy and Sally- and all others who are fundraising and fighting for us), I believe there will be a cure; I'm currently part of some research being undergone by a few universities, so there is hope. Until then, organisations (such as the ME Association) will continue to educate others and support us in our rights.
... Or, even better, you can tune into this lovely blog to smile with Foggy.
Anyway, for now I will say my goodbyes because my cat is nagging me for her lunch! (...and my tummy is nagging me for mine)
Thanks for listening- reading?!
Ciao, Dani x

Classy Thief Steals $26K of Bourbon
Note to self: make friends with this robber. Over the past couple months, an unknown thief has stolen roughly 65 cases of 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon from a Kentucky distillery—nine of which are specialty family reserve rye. Detectives investigating the robbery, which took place at Buffalo Trace Distillery's Frankfort factory, are calling it an inside job, according to Sheriff Pat Melton. "This is the mac daddy," Melton said. The popular Kentucky bourbon, which retails for about $130 a bottle, has a reported production of only about 7,000 cases a year.

A range of accessories and safety features are available for your Allweld Industrial Platform Ladder to help you do your job safer, quicker, and more comfortably.
Becoming extremely popular is the Safety Gate. This fully encloses the operator whilst on the platform, satisfying work places with red hot OHW&S. Contractors requiring a transportable platform ladder with a safety gate choose the Allweld Platform Ladder because it can still be folded up, even when the safety gate is fitted.
An alternative to the safety gate are the yellow powder coated Optional Handrails. These fit all models and simply bolt on.
Optional LD Castors (spring loaded) are available for the two, three, four, five and six step models. A spring automatically disengages the castor when the operator mounts and automatically engages when the castor when the operator dismounts the ladder.
HD Castors (lever system) operate the seven and eight step platform ladders and this gives far greater stability than spring loaded castors on these large units. The lever system is also available for the six step wide base (FPS18WB) platforms on request. The lever castor system is simply operated by the operators' foot but still allows the platform ladder to be folded for storage.
Loading Trays are available with a load capacity of 5kg. The tray simply clicks on or off the platform ladder's tummy rail.
Wall Mounting Brackets can be purchased to allow the folding platforms to be folded and hung for stowage.

12.09.08 Baby's 31st Week
Nearing the 7 month mark, I've had that 'oh, so this is what they were talking about' feeling a lot lately. Sleep training: you finally get somewhere, your child takes great naps for 2 days straight and is a different, much easier, kid to parent--then you have work done on your house and you have to move into your best friend's living room and your child becomes a sleep-deprived wreck. Cloth diapers: they're cute, they're great for his skin, great for the world, but I'm doing wash every 3 seconds and you know, the ones we got leak. Baby's first cold, Daddy's long weekend in Europe for work. You get the picture.
I now see very clearly how a person could feel haggard, housebound, plump and overwhelmed in that stereotypical mom way. No wonder moms are always being given slippers, bubble bath and cocoa mixes for the holidays. We're desperate for the kind of lifestyle that would allow us to enjoy those things. Alone. For as long as we want.
Right now, I'm Leo's primary caretaker and I'm breastfeeding every few hours all day; The big mug of cocoa, the bubble bath, sleeping in, massage and cushy slippers belong to a lifestyle that's not worth dreaming about. If I take a bath, the cat comes and uses the litter box right next to my head. If I make a hot drink, Leo lunges out of my arms to take a terrifying swipe at the mug. And let's not discuss how many times he has spat up on my formerly fluffy white memory foam slippers.
The gifts I've got are a loving, supportive husband and a bright-eyed little boy who loves to wave his arms around in excitement, and who digs around in his toy box every morning like it's the most wonderful treasure chest that anyone ever discovered. And he's right. This year, I don't need any of those stereotypical mom gifts (unless maybe you were thinking bourbon and bacon?). I need a shape sorting box, wooden blocks, a toy piano, and most delightful of all, the cardboard boxes they came in.
That's right. Next time Aaron stays home with Leo for a few hours, I won't be heading to the spa or lunch with a girlfriend. I'll be hitting the toy store to choose Leo's Hannukah presents, then running home eager to sit back and enjoy the gift of delighting my little boy. Despite all the slogging-through and griping that I do, there's nothing that would make me happier.

We're squabbling about legislation that clearly hasn't worked.
Last week, the oil and ethanol industries traded barbs over the future of a 2005 law that requires blending the corn-based additive in gasoline.
The American Petroleum Institute, the mouthpiece of the energy industry, released a report that found the Renewable Fuels Standard will drive up gasoline prices and shave as much as $770 billion from the country's gross domestic product in the next two years.

We believe that God must be a part of our family life if it is to be good and healthy. "Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain." Psalm 127:1
We believe that parents' actions in raising their children are important to God. We have a responsibility as followers of Christ to raise our children in a way that will please the Lord. "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4
In Scripture there is an example of dedicating children to the Lord. In 1 Samuel 1:11, 26-28, Hannah vowed to dedicate her child to the Lord if He would grant her one. The Lord honored her request and she kept her vow, dedicating Samuel to the Lord. " . . . then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life."1 Samuel 1:11
As a Christian parent, by dedicating your child to the Lord, you are acknowledging your need for God in your family. You are inviting God to be active in your family life, submitting your own desires for your child to God's desires, and making a commitment to raise your child in God's way.
We believe that your child is not only yours but is a gift from God. We are earthly stewards of the life God has placed in our home. "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." Psalm 127:3-5
The responsibilities the Lord has entrusted to parents include continuously praying for their children (Deuteronomy 6:4-9), instructing them in the way of the Lord, setting a godly example, and disciplining them as the Lord would discipline us (Proverbs 29:15, 17; 13:24). As parents, you are only able to do these things through Christ's strength (Philippians 4:13).
This isn't the day of salvation for your child! Salvation is the free gift of God, received when someone grasps his or her need for Christ and makes the conscious decision to enter into a relationship with God.
It isn't baptism for your child. Baptism is the public profession of faith as described above. Once a child is old enough to make a decision to accept Christ as his or her personal Savior, then he or she can make a choice to be baptized.
At Harvest Rochester, we typically hold a Parent Commitment & Child Dedication service during our main services at 9:00AM and 11:00AM at Kellogg Middle School. This portion of the service lasts about 15-20 minutes where a pastor will introduce your family to the congregation, ask you a couple questions about your commitment, and then ask the church to pray for you and encourage you and your family as you live out God's desires for your life. You can register to participate in this service below.

I haven't really gotten over mum's death. Though most people would think otherwise. And that's the problem, they only see what I want them to see; a strong happy person. Little do they know that this strong happy person is actually broken and crushed inside, who turns her face to the wall every night and cries silently. She who grieves in silent anguish even when she smiles.
I thought I would be fine in a month's time. Knowing that with all the pain and sufferings mum went through, her going would be a relief. But it seems that as the days got further away from the day she departed this life the tougher it became, having to cope with her absence. Every familiar thing became unfamiliar, everything of her brought back memories of her. Painful memories. I felt I've been robbed off a precious jewelry, a diamond, taken off me. She was taken unfairly early. And she left with a part of me.
This grieving, though no one knows gets me thinking about her everyday, dreaming about her and crying to sleep over her…
I miss her

A Farmer who punched Poverty using Enset Spring
The Organization for Rehabilitation and Development in Amhara (ORDA), a strong and reliable developmental partner of the people and government of the Amhara region, is strategically filling developmental gaps in its short and long term projects and programs. ORDA implements a project in Mout Guna area which is characterized by rugged topography manifested with devoid of natural vegetation, soil erosion and severe land degradation. Although livestock asset is one of the major sources of household income, its productivity is very low. To change these adverse situations and improve livelihood of farmers, ORDA fruitfully delivers improved agricultural technologies and integrated watershed development practices.
ORDA financed by International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), with a 37.3 million Birr, has started to implement Sustainable Adaptation to Climate Change in Lake Tana Watershed under Community-Based Integrated Natural Resources Management (CBINReMP). It is called IFAD Guna Project which has been working in 15 kebeles of Farta, Estie & Lay Gayint Woredas of South Gondar Zone since 2015. The intervention kebeles consist of 23, 000 households and covers about 51,184 hectares of land which directly benefits 8,000 households (40,000 people).
The project distributed various livelihood options like 17 rope and washer pump, 13, 298 hop seedlings, 107 quintal potato tuber, 2,901 propagated apple seedlings, 4 kilogram vegetable seed/carrot, lentil, cabbage and salad/, 162 quintal of livestock forage, 166 fuel saving stove, 9 biogas, 42 cubic meter compost and 396 solar lantern for 1, 232 households (91 female headed) in Ata Meher and Arga Meher intervention kebeles in a clustered approach.
The project targets to achieve outputs: Integrated Runoff Reduction and Moisture Retention Practices, Forestry & Agroforestry Technologies, Alternative Energy Sources, Water Resources Developed & Efficiently Utilized, Agricultural Productivity & Employment Opportunities, Increased Crop, Productivity & Soil fertility, Increased Livestock Productivity, Employment Opportunities created, Access to Social Services Improved, Access to Education Services Improved.
Target beneficiaries have been progressively changing their lives. Farmer Kindalem Feleke is to be mentioned forefront. He lives in Guna Begie Midir (formerly Farta) Woreda of Arga Didim kebele at Enset Village. The farmer and his wife woizero Alemnat Fenta have two sons & two daughters. Three of their children attend in a primary school. This poor farmer owns a quarter of a hectare of land and obliged to harvest a few crops, such as potato, wheat and triticale/a breed of oat and wheat/. He got insufficient production from his small plot of farm land. Hence, he was assisted by the government productive safety net program to cover the family's annual food consumption. Moreover, he frequently used to get debts to buy house expenditures, such as sugar, food oil, salt, onion, soap, and agricultural inputs.
To beat poverty, the farmer was courageously got a debt of 6 thousand birr for sheep rearing and other agricultural input use. But, he was very much challenged as his sheep all dead. This time, he was put in a bankruptcy and aggravated his life from bad to worse. This farmer lost human dignity by the local community for not having been able to repay the loan in time. Amazingly, the loan exceeded about 12 thousand birr and he was in dilemma for migration. He said, "I never forget that I was in desperate situation to survive."
At this critical time, he was selected as one of beneficiaries of ORDA-IFAD Guna project. In his village, a small river known as "Enset" percolates from the top Guna Mountain to Arga Didim villagers. However, no farmer was aware to use it for irrigation. Then, Kindalem with other farmers trained on vegetable production and apple propagation using irrigation. The project delivered him the necessary agricultural inputs (spade, irrigation watering can, vegetable seeds and apple seedlings. He practically started vegetable harvesting from irrigation since 2012.
The optimistic Kindalem was determined to escape from poverty. He produced vegetables three times a year and paid off a 12 thousand birr debt. He also bought 5 quintals of teff to an annual family diet. Consequently, he was very much encouraged and worked day and night. In 2013 and 2014 irrigation year, apart from fulfilling all his family's food and other needs, he changed his small hut to a full- fledged 53 corrugated iron sheet top and bought a mule for a 10 thousand birr.
In the years of 2015, 2016 and 2017, he expanded his farmland for vegetable and fruit production. A farmer's livelihood is being improved. Food is already secured for the family. Now, he began building asset and saved money for a family's clothes, schooling materials, and other issues. In this case, when his ox died in 2016, he immediately bought a horse for 9 thousand birr. This horse is now serving for both farming and transporting fruits and vegetables to market.
This person now has built a 60-corrugated iron sheet top house of what he has inherited from his father's land at Kimir Dingay which is the capital of Guna-Begie Midir Woreda.
As a result of the training and tools for apple propagation provided by the project, the farmer has earned an average annual income of about 4 thousand birr. He is now selling a grafted apple for farmers & government offices in the surrounding.
Since 2013, the farmer and his wife Alemnat saves 30 birr monthly and have a total of 5 thousand birr in "Megabe Enset" Village-Based Economic and Social Association (VESA). In addition, he saved 5,000 birr at the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE).
ORDA – IFAD Guna project benefited the farmer to use solar lantern. As a result, he was able to save money he spent for gasoline. The children also have been able to attend school without any health impacts. The farmer, who had been disrespected for being poor, has made a remarkable difference. Today, he becomes a model farmer that various offices and farmers across the zone frequently visit his garden to share his experiences. He's also coaching farmers and found many successors in that village.
Generally, farmer Kindalem has totally changed his life style and he is in rapid progress. Everyone who visits his home can be a witness for his livelihood improvement. Currently, he gets a nutritious food, uses solar lantern (children can study better during night and reduced eye sight problems), saves money and builds asset, implements better with the skill and knowledge developed towards using agricultural inputs and technologies.

Religious Socialist Hopes To Capitalize On White Guilt
Hoping to capitalize on the racial hysteria sweeping through the ranks of America despisers, religious socialist Jim Wallis published an excerpt of his book "America's Original Sin" in the February 2016 issue of his propaganda screed Sojourners Magazine.
Apparently even an economic egalitarian such as himself can't resist the temptation to invoke the privileges of rank, ownership and hierarchy.
The article is subtitled on the cover "What If White Christians Acted More Christian Than White?"
Does this raconteur in the coming months intend to run similarly titled essays referring to other ethnicities and demographics?
For example, "What If Black Christians Acted More Christian Than Black?"
For nowhere in the canon of Scripture and the corpus of systematic theology or Christian ethics can one find justification for looting beauty salons for hair care products or boxstore retailers for the latest electronics over a police action or jury verdict with which one happens to disagree.
Nor can one find justification in the divine revelation for an illegitimacy rate pushing nearly 75%.
And perhaps even more importantly, where in Christian tradition is it acceptable for these deadbeats to send their women out to work (if they even work at all) while these so-called men stand around all day drinking in allies or smoking pot in their basements?
Longterm unemployment the result of economic downturns might be one thing.
However, these urban vagrants don't even make an effort to forage for abandoned scrap metal or to use their ubiquitous smartphones to peddle second hand goods or small handcrafts through an assortment of social commerce venues.

An excerpt …
(she opens the door of the primary Sunday School class and bursts into a wide smile)
Good morning, boys and girls! (her smile slowly melts). Who brought the chocolate? Oh, good grief! You've got it everywhere! (she begins grabbing kids and trying to wipe their reluctant faces) You guys are a mess! I know I'm not your regular Sunday School teacher. She's being treated for something … She didn't say what. Would you hold still? Oh sorry ... that's your nose? I thought it was chocolate.
(she tries to teach the lesson)
Okay, now for our lesson. Can anybody tell me … What! What James? Yes, I know Margaret is sticky. She can't help that. Margaret, don't cry. Yes, I know James is being mean. That's because he's a boy. That's his job. Have a seat right here. No, it's a nice dry spot. I already checked. (feels the spot) No, I didn't. Paula's been there. Sit over hear instead. James, she does not need any help sitting down!
(she exaggerated the story of Noah just as the minister entered)
Yes, I think it would be a very good idea if I could just teach the original version but … (whispering to the minister) ... this James kid is driving me nuts. Somebody should lock him up. He's ... he's what? (consults her notebook) James ... James Kelly. And (points) Reverend Kelly. What a coincidence … not. Sorry, Reverend Kelly.

Buffets out for P&O, restaurants and cafes in
It's being called a revolution in cruise dining, as P&O Cruises reveal they are removing buffets from their newest ships and replacing them with modern food outlets, featuring a gourmet delicatessen.
The plan is to initially roll out the options on latest arrivals Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden. These two ships will complete a record five P&O ships sailing year-round from Australia and New Zealand, when they start cruising in November 2015. Some key elements will then be rolled out across the fleet.
A variety of options
Entitled 'The Pantry', this new area will offer passengers a selection of eateries, with a more contemporary look and feel. The standard open-plan buffet layout will be replaced with longer high tables, round-backed chairs, comfortable banquettes and various other seating options. Just like the buffet, it's part of your package and there is no extra charge for eating at 'The Pantry'. In total, Aria and Eden will have 15 bars, resaturants and cafes.
Dining choices on Pacific Aria and Eden to include:
- Dragon Lady: Pan Asian cuisine with midnight-blue furnishings
- Angelo's Italian restaurant: Stylish food with flair, named after photographer Angelo Frontoni
- Open Kitchen: Learn as well as eat, thanks to a culinary school
- A gourmet delicatessen
- Fresh fish and chips
Luke Mangan's Salt Grill restaurant is also undergoing a subtle twist, with the Salt Grill Bar specialising in sophisticated cocktails. For wine fans, a Cellar Door will offer a boutique winery experience.
P&O excited about new dining direction
Never afraid to try new things and attract first-time cruisers, P&O Cruises Senior Vice President Tammy Marshall is confident this fresh approach will be a success.
"It will be a haven for food lovers, with a contemporary relaxed vibe as guests indulge and discover what's in The Pantry. Guests on Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden will enjoy a dining experience like no other, with our fresh food and stunning décor transforming the way cruise guests dine at sea."
It's not just the food presentation that's set to look different. Ms Marshall said the pool area will be enhanced with day beds, outdoor rugs, lamps and white curtains, adding another dose of luxury to their already impressive cruise ship fleet. The Pantry is also being introduced on Pacific Jewel while it is in dry dock next year.
All set for the biggest year ever
The Australian cruise industry is in full swing preparing for the seasons ahead, with 2015-16 being talked about as the biggest year ever in Australian cruise holiday history. The P&O fleet will be cruising from eight homeports in Australia, with all five ships docking in Sydney Harbour on November 25, 2015. Pacific Aria and Eden itineraries include the Pacific Islands, Hunter Valley, Papua New Guinea and SeaBreak Comedy Cruises.
Melbourne will welcome its biggest ship ever when Carnival Corporation's Golden Princess arrives for the summer season in 2015, although it will stop off in Sydney first. Princess Cruises is also launching a summer season from Fremantle for the first time. However, Golden Princess won't be the largest ship to ever dock in Australia: "that honour belongs to Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the seas; for now anyway!"

In Sharepoint 2013 there may be situations when list edit ribbon which contains such commands as Save, Attach file, etc., is not shown for the user even if user has permissions to add or edit items in this list. For example user may have Read permission on the whole SPWeb and Member permission on the list (i.e. list has unique permissions not inherited from its parent SPWeb). In order to show the ribbon we need to edit system master page used in the current SPWeb (you may check what master page is used as system master pages in Site settings > Master page). In the masterpage file find the following code:
1: <SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl ID="SPSecurityTrimmedControlManageWeb"
2: PermissionsString="ManageWeb" runat="server">
3: <script type="text/javascript">
1:2: document.getElementById("s4-ribbonrow").style.display = "block";3: document.getElementById("suiteBar").style.display = "block";
2: </SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>3: <SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl ID="SPSecurityTrimmedControlAddAndCustomizePages"4: PermissionsString="AddAndCustomizePages" runat="server">5: <script type="text/javascript">6: document.getElementById("s4-ribbonrow").style.display = "block";7: document.getElementById("suiteBar").style.display = "block";
4: </SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
There are 2 security trimmed controls which add the same javascript code if users have ManageWeb or AddAndCustomizePages permissions. Added javascript code shows divs with s4-ribbonrow and suiteBar ids. Div suiteBar contains Site actions gear, and s4-ribbonrow contains ribbon controls. In order to show the ribbon for the user with AddListItems permissions we need to add one more security trimmed control under these 2 controls:
1: <SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl ID="SPSecurityTrimmedControlAddListItems"
2: PermissionsString="AddListItems" PermissionContext="CurrentList" runat="server">
3: <script type="text/javascript">
1:2: document.getElementById("s4-ribbonrow").style.display = "block";3: document.getElementById("RibbonContainer-TabRowRight").style.visibility = "hidden";
4: </SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
Note that in addition to PermissionString property we added PermissionContext="CurrentList" here. In 2 controls shown above there was no PermissionContext propery – they use default CurrentSite value. Here is the list of another values (see here):
- CurrentFolder
- CurrentItem
- CurrentList
- CurrentSite
- RootSite
Also note that we hided another child div with id="RibbonContainer-TabRowRight". This div contains Follow and Share links which may be not desired for users which only may add list items.
After that users which have AddListItems permissions will see list edit ribbon:
Hope that this information will be helpful.

About us
Risk Practice
Legislation Practice
For organisations to act consistently, to have common understanding of the significance of risks, they need to know what to do and when.
A risk management framework sets out the rules of the game. A really good risk management framework integrates risk into decision-making, enables greater levels of co-operation and ultimately, helps the organisation get greater rewards from their risk exposures. Senscia can help write such frameworks for you, based on international standards and strong experience.
Some organisations may have been doing risk management for a while, yet the benefits are not what they should be. There is a disconnect between business divisions and the risk management team. You have a feeling that you can do better but you aren't sure how.
We can provide an evaluation of your risk management activities making informal benchmarks against current best practices. Not only that, we can help devise practical roadmaps for improving your risk management function, providing a strategy to go before top management and supervisory boards.
What appetite do you have for the risk of a complete failure of your core data processing facility, or for the death of an employee?! Everybody knows that they are supposed to have these statements but in practice, even the organisations that do have them, wonder what they are for and what meaningful difference they make.
Assuring Regulators, Board Members and Shareholders that you have a reliable means of understanding and controlling your organisation's response to the simple question: have we got the right balance between risk and reward in our activities? – is the key value-driver in the ERM proposition.
Being able to write risk appetite statements that allow the Board to purposely direct risk exposure, whilst at the same time allowing managers to define concrete parameters to limit operational risks, takes time and thought. Time which many CROs simply do not have.
There are two distinct problems, which every CRO has to face up to at some point in time. The first is how to create a method in which any member of the organisation can assess a risk, or look at a risk report and come to a consistent understanding of the meaning of the risk rating that is applied.
If a risk is called "Low", then just how much worse is a risk that is labelled "Medium"? What sense of urgency or priority should be put into dealing with that?
Many CROs complain that people in their organisations read risk reports and do not act. This is often an indication that there is no sense of the 'scale of risks', that risk labels are not meaningful. Being able to confidently recognise the importance of the likelihood/ probability of a risk event happening and the consequent size of impact, is a fundamental part of the effectiveness of any risk management activity. How good are your scales, how easy are they to work with, how closely do they match the intuition of your business leaders?
The second key issue for the CRO, is being asked, "How do you know this is everything?" when making a risk report. What confidence do you have that all relevant risks have been given appropriate consideration? Did something get overlooked that is going to come back and bite you later on?
Having a defined Risk Map, or Risk Universe can help with this challenge. Drawing out a list of exposures that affect your organisation's structure, processes, internal and external forces for change, your assets and services, markets and governance requirements, in tactical and strategic timeframes – such a map can help top management make sense of the context of individual risks. Senscia can help you define Risk Maps that become the "AHA!" moment when presented to top management, the occasion when risks start to be recognisable and coherent.
Any mature and effective risk management programme will need to design strong risk dashboards, to write risk reports that grab attention and drive action, to use risk metrics like KRIs to track risk trends and set threshold alarms. Senscia can listen to your organisation's way of doing business then draw upon it's extensive KRI portfolio, to help you quickly work out how to signal to management how close you are coming to the limit of your control capabilities.
