1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away."
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 "Say to Daughter Zion,
'See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.'"[a]
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on. 8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
"Hosanna[b] to the Son of David!"
"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"[c]
"Hosanna[d] in the highest heaven!"
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, "Who is this?"
11 The crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee."
I love being on the praise team at my church. I love worshiping God, I love to sing and lift up my praise to Him. I enjoy leading the congregation to a place of worship. To see the whole congregation to stir and come close to God is so awesome!
I believe that was what was happening in today's passage. The Holy Spirit was moving within the people. They were all caught up in the moment, praising and worship the God who created us, who gave us Jesus.
Unfortunately these same people who were praising Jesus and honoring Him as King in of their lives one day, were shouting out for his crucifixion the next.
I hope that is never me. I hope that I never just get caught up in the moment of my worship of God on Sunday morning then by Monday I am ungrateful, discouraged and frustrated with the same God who I praised the day before.
It is really easy to just get caught up in emotions, but Our God is the same Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, He never changes.
Let's make it a point that we remain in a state of worship all week long not just on Sunday's.

Dear Neighbors,
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a happy holiday and may 2018 bring peace, love & Joy to our world.
Please join me in appreciating the hard work of the Burlington Public Works snow removal team! They have been working hard to help keep our streets and sidewalks accessible this winter.
As you may know, Town Meeting Day is Tuesday, March 6th and fast approaching. There are a few ballot items introduced so far that I wanted to be sure to share with you: 1.) BALLOT QUESTION RE INCREASING AGE TO LEGALLY PURCHASE TOBACCO PRODUCTS FROM 18 TO 21: Shall the voters of Burlington advise their representatives to the Vermont General Assembly to support increasing the age to legally purchase tobacco products in Vermont from 18 to 21 years of age?
2.) BALLOT QUESTION RE FORMATION OF A UNION MUNICIPAL DISTRICT: Shall the City of Burlington enter into an agreement for the formation of a union municipal district to be known as the Chittenden County Public Safety Authority for the purpose of providing regional emergency dispatch?
3.)BALLOT QUESTION RE CLIMATE ACTION: Shall the voters of Burlington urge the Governor of the State of Vermont to: a. Actively pursue more policies and programs that will lead to achieving the goal of 90% renewable energy for all people in Vermont, with firm interim deadlines; and b. Ensure that the transition to renewable energy is fair and equitable for all residents, with additional support for low-income people, people of color, or rural communities?
The Burlington Democratic Caucus was held on Sunday, January 7th with over 250 residents participating. Ward 7 held the largest caucus meeting, where I secured the Democratic endorsement. Many thanks to the approximately 65 Ward 7 residents who braved the cold to come out and vote.
I am writing this message just after my bi-weekly "Dumplings with Councilor Dieng" gathering at Pho Thao Vietnamese Restaurant on North Ave. Today we welcomed and heard from two Ward 4 and Ward 7 School Board Candidates, Martine L Gulick and Monika Ivancic respectively, who shared their platforms and priorities and neighbors asked questions.
Each time we meet people share their ideas, hopes and concerns for our city, and I share updates from the city and the work of the city council. I hope to see you at a future Dumplings discussion!
Many of you are likely aware of upcoming events around MLK Day. But I wanted to be sure to invite you to join me at the 2018 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Remembrance where Mayor Weinberger will be providing opening remarks, the keynote speaker will be Louis Gossett Jr. and I'll be doing the closing remarks. This free event is at 3pm on Sunday the 14th at the First Unitarian Universalist Church (more details can be found here: https://gbmrc.org/mlk2018/).
Whether I see you at the Dumplings discussions, I hear from you via email, I see you at a council meeting, or we chat on the phone, I greatly appreciate each conversation and everyone's input. Please, let's keep the conversation going as we seek to build a welcoming, inclusive and thriving Burlington community. I look forward to hearing from you.
Stay warm and dry!
Best, Ali Dieng 802-318-2527; email@example.com

Some Good Tips in Order to Help You Choose the Right Trundle Beds
- 0.1 Trundle beds offer an excellent solution for larger families or anyone with frequent overnight guests.
- 1 Trundle Beds
Trundle beds offer an excellent solution for larger families or anyone with frequent overnight guests.
Deciding on the best bed type typically depends on the owner's need, whether that is a need for an additional sleeping area or more storage space. One trundle bed design includes a main bed with a second bed that can be rolled out for sleeping. Other trundle beds include beds with storage centers under the mattress frame or various day bed styles.
Large families may want to consider a trundle beds configuration that offers an additional mattress for sleeping.
Bunk beds are also available in trundle beds style allowing for three separate sleeping areas that only require the space of one bed when not in use. These beds can also be beneficial for anyone that frequently hosts overnight guests, including grandchildren.
If the desire is for more storage space, trundle beds with drawers under the mattress area could be selected. In this design, the bed frame is similar to a low dresser. This style is sometimes referred to as a Captain's bed, and is likely named after similar beds found on old ships. For the greatest amount of sleeping and storage area, bunk beds can be purchased in this style.
Trundle beds can also be obtained in a day bed style. This is often chosen for its versatility because, when the bed is not being used for sleeping, it functions as a small sofa. Therefore, this style provides a solution for anyone lacking space for guests or living in a small, studio-type apartment. Day beds can also be used in home offices or living rooms. A bed in this style offers an alternative to a sofa bed, which may be difficult for some individuals to operate.

Electric Gun Buyer's Guide
It is a daunting task for any beginner airsoft/MilSim player to choose electric gun from the huge selection that is available today, but don't you worry because the old hands like us will tell you in this RR Buyer's Guide what to look for when selecting AEG.
Electric Gun's
Does the gun fit me?
If you are 160cm tall it is hardly practical to purchase 120cm long gun since you can barely move with it and at the other end of extreme it can be amusing to see 200cm tall person using the smallest AEG available, the Marui MP5K.
The length of gun does not appear so important in first glance, but you will be surprised how much it affects in long run. Consider this: In recent news coming out of Iraq it has been reported that US Army is seriously considering replacing their standard assault rifle Colt M16A2. The M16s length has proven to be major drawback in new combat situations that US Army faces in Iraq. The same news details that M16A2 has proven to be too long to be fired from inside vehicles like HMMW and is very clumsy in CQB situations (building clearing, street fighting, etc.). The same applies to its airsoft versions and anyone who has tried to manouver M16A2 inside cramped house knows how difficult and slow it can be.
One word: Ergonomics. Now, you are checking the AEG selection at your nearest retailer or at your buddies airsoft get-together. When you first inspect the AEG check if you feel comfortable with that particular AEG's key functions like firing selector, safety, magazine change, sights, etc. If you feel clumsiness or in-convenience with the basic functions you should already think moving forward to next gun and ditching this gun from list of candidates. Consider yourself lucky because real soldiers just get on with whatever they are issued with.
Sights: Boy, are these important or what. In airsoft shooting is done from very much different set of rules and conditions than what it is done with real steels. Only thing is that the sights are completely same in airsofts as what they are in real steels and that is a PROBLEM that players must face. Only few real steel sights tend to perform satisfactorily in airsoft and there are as many tastes for sights as there are people. As general rule Heckler & Koch type sights have proven to be effective in airsoft. They allow more wider field of view and that is very convenient in airsoft as it allows you more visibility to track your shots and targets. This topic is discussed in more detail in RR Beginner's Guide Marksmanship lesson.
Metal parts
Metal parts are not really crucial as people make them to be. Well made plastic AEG are durable enough for standard gaming needs. What is important is the overall design of the gun, which should have features that stiffen and reinforce the gun frame at crucial parts such as for example front assembly. Metal bodied electric guns can be easily broken if the overall design doesn't hold up.
Metal parts are, however, helpful in giving the gun more realistic feel and giving the player more confidence about his or her gun durability in gaming situations.
Electric Gun's
To obtain reference about performance differences one should see our Electric Gun database profiles for each AEG and compare the performance levels. Muzzle velocity, accuracy and any known weaknesses should be checked before purchase. General misconception is that all AEGs have about same level of performance, but that is not correct at all. Muzzle velocity, accuracy and rate of fire are different in almost all models. Manufacturer's have great differences in the three categories just mentioned plus in reliability and gun pricing.
As you read our content you will get to understand how all design aspects of AEG ties to overall performance. At the end of the day, for the average Joe the best AEG is gun that performs steadily in all categories right out of the box. The common consensus among airsoft players is that Tokyo Marui makes the best stock AEGs all-round, but these days many alternatives have risen on side of Tokyo Marui AEGs such as the electric guns made by Classic Army and ICS.
Accuracy & Range
Effective range of stock electric guns can vary between 30m - 50m (99 - 165 foot). Thus, if you regard accuracy and effective range important it is crucial to understand what type of AEG you are purchasing. Like mentioned in this article before nearly all AEGs have differences in this category although they can be hard to spot even for intermediate and experienced players. Any minor - medium level customization will multiply these differences (understandably rebuilding most of the gun body will change the whole construction of the gun).
To understand the type of the AEG let's see the design features that affect the accuracy and range of the gun. Body stiffness is important for base accuracy. Metal body does not equal stiff body, so you need to understand how the AEG has been built in first place. Well designed and build front assemblies, receivers and internal features designed to improve stability of the gun all contribute towards stiff body of electric gun. Stiff body, as mentioned, equals higher accuracy and muzzle velocity. Latest Marui electric guns have all addressed this particular issue. Reliability issues can be only found from long-term results and feedback of users, but often single cases tends to be over emphasized in places like internet forums or as rumor among the players. Try to see behind the rumors and make your own decisions.
Hop Up is small device inside the inner barrel that gives BB spinning motion when it touches Hop Up on its way out. The spin negates some effect of gravity and gives increased lift to the BB thus allowing better range than guns without Hop Up. Due to concept of Hop Up it can also easily have negative effect on accuracy. Hop Up is critical piece of equipment in gun that cannot be over emphasized. It affects an great deal to effective range and accuracy, so if there is anything wrong with Hop Up it spells major problem. Basically Tokyo Marui has this area very well in its pocket excluding its M4/M16 series that need some customization.
Rate of fire
Most AEGs have same rate of fire expect few notable expections. Marui FA-MAS series have the very first AEG mechanism, which fires about 1000 rounds per minute while others are doing 750-850 rounds per minute. Upping the battery voltage will give you higher rate of fire in any AEG, but remember that AEGs are not designed to use any higher battery voltage than 8.4v or, as in case of Systema's new Personal Training Weapon series, 7.2v.
Bottomline: There are lot of differences in AEGs when it comes to range and accuracy. Try to understand the design features of the AEG before purchasing. It is worthwhile to check the details and reviews. One of the best places is our equipment database.
Will I need to customize?
If you are planning to customize that is just fine, just check that your gun can take what you have planned. Some AEGs (especially cheaper brands or those known for unrealibility) even require customization to make them perform in average or above-average levels or to function at all.
For serious upgrader, gearbox durability is critical question. Marui version III can take more customization than what other Marui gearboxes and recently Classic Army started to include Systema Pro Gearbox-type knock offs in their M15-series (this gearbox was originally designed by Systema for M130+ level upgrades). Systema's planned 'Professional Training Weapon System' offers modular upgrade possibilities and real 1:1 sizing to accommodate real steel accessories, but at the time of writing this there are no internal parts or upgrade kits are yet available for Systema Professional Training Weapon system.
Inner barrel lenght has some sort of mythical status among airsofters when it comes to accuracy, but in fact, the inner barrel lenght main feature is its relation to the muzzle velocity. The longer barrel the more muzzle velocity gun can have.
Not all the AEGs have many custom parts available. Some, like Marui UZI, Thompson and FA-MAS series, have only few and mostly just inner barrels. This is because these models are not so popular as for example M4s and MP5s and thus making parts for them is less profitable for the custom part manufacturers.
Mandatory accessories
For AEGs you need standard 8.4v battery charger with correct pins (that fits with battery pins) as the ones used in electric gun mini/ak/sd/sg type batteries are of rare sort. Large type batteries use common pins that are compatible with e.g. RC-model battery chargers. If you use 9.6v-12v batteries then you will need different charger than standard 8.4v, which most retailers carry around the world.
Batteries, you need plenty of them. As general rule standard 8.4v 600mAh battery has enough juice for 1200-1500 rounds in stock AEG while 8.4v 1300mAh battery can do about 3000 rounds. Any power upgrade will require more juice and will drop these numbers significantly. Typical beginner resorts at this point to higher voltage battery that has enough "power" to operate the system.
Higher voltage batteries cause wear and tear to the operating mechanism of AEG and are not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Many upgraders remove fuses from AEGs and put high voltage battery so that the mechanism can operate. Well, removing fuse and using high voltage battery is like covering up deficiency in upgrade since if the work is done properly and professionally the mechanism can run with 8.4v battery no matter how much power is in.
Another common misconception is mAh levels. mAh contributes to the stamina of the battery as generally known, but also to voltage. The more mAh battery has the more voltage it has. Thus some 2100mAh etc. batteries are not that good idea.
One example of high voltage battery damage is gear breakdown. It happens because of the synchronization error with piston that is caused by high voltage battery. More details about this in our upgrade articles.
Coming back to more simple topics, batteries require discharging before recharge. If you recharge with some battery charge remaining in battery you are contributing to rapid decline of battery life span. Best way to discharge batteries is to use so-called "smart chargers" that can recoqnize when battery is empty and when it is full. These chargers do cost a lot more than standard ones, but they are worth it in long run.
Word about the quality of batteries and their chargers. Some retailers love to issue knock-off batteries and cheap chargers with AEGs to cut costs. However, some of these (not necessarily all) are of not up to standards and are not recommended. If your battery cannot do the shots mentioned in above texts with stock AEG then you either charged in wrong way or there is something wrong with its cells. Many of the low-quality chargers are defective from the beginning and might not work at all. Just to be in the safe side, it is better to check charger types and batteries. Some known good batteries are Tokyo Marui (altought expensive), Systema (expensive), LayLax and most RC-brands (you can get 8.4v large-type batteries from them).
Practical Buyer
Com'on I'm not gonna start messing with my gun
For the practical buyer, who is looking for real performance right out of the box AEG should have high performance level without any upgrades. Tokyo Marui offers extreme reliability and excellent performance in specific model types.
All of the above recommended AEGs have stiff bodies and good basic design that doesn't erode performance unlike some that basically "suck 'ss". The recommended AEGs are good choices for those who do not want to tinker with inside things like gearbox and demand performance right out of the box. AEGs that use large batteries are preferred because of the higher mAh capacity (more shots can be fired with single battery).
Marui AK47 Performance notes: Excellent accuracy and range. See Recon Report 01 for test results.
Marui MP5K PDW Performance notes: Good range and accuracy for gun of its size. Folding stock helps aiming.
Marui P90 Performance notes: Excellent accuracy and range. See Recon Report 01 for test results. Integral red dot sight is sort of a problem since it is difficult to replace.
Marui Steyr AUG Performance notes: Best muzzle velocity in all Marui AEGs in despite of field takedown system. Good accuracy, highly respected AEG.
Marui B-Spetsnaz Performance notes: Good all-round performance thanks to body design.
"Solid, no wobble and durable –type gun" Buyer
No to the wobble guns
Body stifness is not only convienient for the player, but very important for accuracy and sufficient muzzle velocity.
Tokyo Marui G3 SAS has been redesigned from the old G3 series and has much increased body stiffness unlike its predecessors (now no longer made). To use the large battery it needs to exchange the stock to fixed type stock, but that is easy to do. Tokyo Marui MP5K has very compact and solid body and uses AK-type stick battery that further reinforces the body. You read correct there, AK-type stick battery contributes to the body stiffness as its shape fits the body of gun. Tokyo Marui MP5 SD5 and SD6 are relatively solid from inside and very reliable in performance, but pale in front of ICS and Classic Army similar MP5 SDs, which have metal bodies and silencers.
For add-on type of player who likes to build things like M4 SOPMOD, Marui AEG series has plenty of M4 and M16 AEGs. Classic Army and ICS offer their variants for the same model types and some additional variants as well. Recent Classic Army full metal production M15A4 has received some excellent feedback and is worth looking into, while ICS just released their own full metal M4 series that appears to be more solid than what Tokyo Marui's is.
Marui G3 SAS Body notes: Incredible hard outer barrel system lies inside G3 SAS barrel assembly that represents new era of AEGs from Tokyo Marui. It dont get more solid than this.
Marui MP5K Body notes: Classic AEG that never fails you. There is almost no external part that is subjectable for break down. It is also solid from inside.
Marui SG552 Body notes: Heavily reinforced barrel assembly that makes this previously shaky SG series solid as rock.
Marui M733 notes: M4A1 with juiced up barrel assembly, which is also more realistic now. Strong and solid, no complaints anymore.
Z-shot SR-16: No longer made, but with full metal construction this is awesome gun that deserves to be mentioned while we are waiting for the new Systema rifle. Marui M4 served as base gun for Z-shot (Systema). You can find similar offerings from Armored Gallery (Japan) altought the guns are extremely steep in price.
Selecting the electric gun by gaming style
The other way to select AEG is to select the AEG by their gaming style.
Small and lightweight AEG is recommended for the attackers who don't want to carry big fat 'ss rifle and prefer mobility.
Although PDW is already old model it has high accuracy compared to its size and it is extremely compatible. Again, use of AK-type stick battery makes the body stiffer. You can also consider building custom variant from MP5 "Kurz" variant by attaching silencer and extended inner barrel for example.
SG552 is one of the latest models that feature stiff body and metal chamber. It also has folding stock (making its size really small when needed) and there is a rail system at the front, which can take fore grip or tactical lights.
For assaulter weapon compactness is important. For example, lets take look at the famous AK47. Ergonomics of AK47s are for tactical missions, well, plain Soviet and are far from tactical. For example, the firing selector of AK47 is on the right side in front of the trigger and out of finger reach. In other words you have to slam the firing selector down with your right hand palm when things get hot (that is if were keeping it correctly in safety position) and during this time you have no chance to fire the weapon until you have repositioned your hand. If you are left handed then this is not that big issue for you, but most people are right handed.
Marui MP5K PDW: Very compact in size, but has the necessary folding stock that allows accurate aiming. Front grip faciliates quick horizontal movement of the gun. Heckler & Koch type sights are perfect for close-range fighting and help you to stay on top of things.
Marui SG552: Similar to MP5K PDW, but slightly bigger in size. However, SG552 is light and can be made very small with use of folding stock. Short barrel makes it ideal for CQB-situations.
Marui G3 SAS: Advanced version of the compact MC51, which was designed for the gamers. Numerous loadout options available with four different stocks available(!).
Marui MC51: Before G3 SAS MC51 was one of the most popular guns for serious gamers, who only wanted practical AEG. MC51 doesn't have any major drawbacks and is solid all round AEG with compact size.
Marui M733: What can be said about M733…its essentially updated Marui M4A1 that has slightly shorter barrel and reinforced body. Very compact carbine.
If you want tobe just simple rifleman instead of the latest uber special forces then some of the more standard AEG assault rifles will do just fine.
All of the above AEGs are fairly standard that will perform well and reliably.
Marui AK47: With more than 50 million real steel pieces made around the world, AK47 should give you variety of options what real world outfit to represent. Not to mention that it is one of the better performing AEGs out there as seen in our Recon Report 01.
Marui M16VN: VN stands for Vietnam, but it is not exactly why the gun is listed here. M16VN is one of the more earlier Marui designs and actually performs better out of the box than the latest M16s. It also has metal outer barrel unlike the A1 version. Of course, standard VN version should be accompanied by Vietnam-era US Army outfit.
Marui Steyr AUG: Futuristic looking Steyr AUG fits only with few military and law enforcement outfits, but it is high performance AEG. It comes in two flavors from Tokyo Marui, civilian version and military version.
Marui M16A2*: For now, M16A2 is the standard assault rifle for US military and it cannot be overlooked. However, it is recommended to customize the hop up and chamber to get better performance.
Marui M16A1: M16A1 is standard AEG with relatively low price (it is mostly plastic) and its real steel counterpart is still being used by many third world armies and paramilitaries, which makes it decent choice for scenario game that features third world units.

Gwen: Hi there! Thanks so much for having me. I've always been a writer, and I've always had this desire to see my words in formal print. Stories can have such a hold on people and I've always wanted to contribute something great to the field. As for A Hunter's Passion—I've always had a weakness for stories about forbidden love, and Ryker Bennett and Jenna Sinclair were adamant that their tale be told.
Is this your first book?
Gwen: No. A Hunter's Passion is my second. My first published book is Her Alpha Protector, and it's a shifter romance. I have two more projects I am currently working on. A Hunter's Soul (tentative title) is about Ryker's brother, Weston Bennett, and takes place after Ryker's story.
With this particular book, how did you publish – traditional, small press, Indie, etc. – and why did you choose this method?
Gwen: A Hunter's Passion is with a traditional publisher. I chose Harlequin because of my mother's love of their books. Growing up, I saw how much she enjoyed reading them, and I wanted to contribute.
Can you tell us a little about your publishing journey? The pros and cons?
Gwen: It's a challenging task at times, but invigorating as well. For me, the best pro is knowing that I've succeeded. But with that success comes the pressure of continuing to do so. I noticed that once I was published, writing took on a different role in my life. Rather than something that I did purely for fun, it was also now a job. Once the adjustment was made, the love of writing returned but it took some time. Another would be social media. It's another two-headed beast. While branching out and meeting new people is exciting, it's also very tiring. And when you work an 8 – 5 job as well as trying to find the time to write, social networking can be incredibly exhausting.
What lessons do you feel you learned about your particular publishing journey and about the publishing industry as a whole?
Gwen: Promoting oneself is rather important. It's something I hadn't taken into consideration until I was published. Marketing and promoting can be a whole other full time job.
Would you recommend this method of publishing to other authors?
Author: Absolutely. Harlequin has treated me very well.
What's the best advice you can give to aspiring authors?
Gwen: Don't quit. So many stories go unfinished because the writer is self-conscious or believes that their ideas are hokey. If you write it epically, it'll be epic.

When it comes to "old school", few managers are better suited to speaking on the subject than Harry Redknapp. "Scotty Parker will be great for us, not only as a player but as a person," said Redknapp after second-half goals from the debutant Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe gave Spurs their first win and, indeed, points of the season.
Redknapp's decision to single out the contribution of Parker was understandable. Aggressive, creative, and as far as the Wolves supporters were concerned, irritating, in equal measure, the England midfielder was a major influence on a breathless match.
"He's old school," said Redknapp. "He's one of those footballers every club used to have, but they don't breed them like that anymore. He's a Stevie Gerrard or John Terry type, a leader – they are very rare now, and we needed that."
In their first two games of the season, heavy defeats by Manchester United and Manchester City, Spurs had lacked aggression, said Redknapp. "We just tried to outplay the opposition," he said. The results spoke for themselves, but in this game, Spurs were able to mix it too.
It took Parker barely two minutes to make a positive impact. His perfectly timed challenge caught Karl Henry in possession outside the Wolves penalty area, and set up Jermain Defoe for a shot which Roger Johnson deflected wide.
Not to be outdone by his midfield partner, Luka Modric's first-time pass soon afterwards put Benoît Assou-Ekotto clear down the left for a low cross which Johnson almost turned past his own goalkeeper. Wayne Hennessey's reaction save was outstanding, but he had to rely on Stephen Ward to clear the attempted follow-up off the line.
Wolves were looking equally dangerous. Somewhat questionably, Brad Friedel chose to punch Jamie O'Hara's long-range shot, but the Spurs goalkeeper was at his best when Henry cut into the penalty area and curled in a low shot which Friedel dived to his right to touch around the post.
Incident piled on incident, but the best first-half chance came shortly after the half hour, when Johnson glanced Kightly's free-kick just past the post from inside the Spurs six-yard box.
It would have been remarkable if the second half had provided a similar level of entertainment, but chances continued to be created. It was evident that Adebayor was becoming more of a factor, an impression he soon confirmed. Nico Kranjcar's pass was helped into his path by Parker, and Adebayor was calmness personified as he took the ball around Hennessey before turning it into the empty net. Ten minutes later Kranjcar was again the provider, a simple pass to Defoe in the Wolves penalty area giving the England striker the chance to turn and shoot beyond Hennessey.
Redknapp was relieved that Spurs, already without William Gallas, Michael Dawson, Vedran Corluka, Steven Pienaar, Rafael van der Vaart, Tom Huddlestone and Aaron Lennon, left Molineux without any injuries, though he admitted he had no idea which players he will take to Greece this week for the Europa League clash with PAOK Salonika.
"Losing to Spurs, a Champions League team of last season, is no disgrace, and for the most part I was happy with how we performed," said the Wolves manager, Mick McCarthy.

The Best Dance Ever, Strictly Come Dancing Movie Week : Well I think its quite interesting to know that the stylish, cool, master, flicky, trendy and amazing personality who made himself perfect by itself have picked the best for himself that he took himself in top 10. Then after that he took himself in a trio of nines along with having five points cleared with himself on top of the leaderboard. He did this great steps along with his partner Aliona Vilani.
The Best Dance Ever
The boost of today's show is Jay McGuiness's Pulp Fiction Jive, who ia just like the best of the show. Jay came at first with the help of his pro-partner Aliona Vilani who won the contest with a boyband member before, in McFly's Harry Judd.
The result show is at 7.15 on sunday's night i.e. on today so its time to tighten up your seat belts and buckle up your socks for the most awaited and demanded result. The result of the show is featuring a high concept and the theme of the film is based on group dance from professionals and a performance by Italian Classical Tenor Andrea Bocelli.
A few latest tweets for the show are extremely inconsistent marking from judges this week.Why not revert to original format of everyone doing same dance? Surely fairer #strictly
— Emma Cresswell (@emcresswell) October 10, 2015
Jay is going to be outstanding by the end of this. I can sense it. He's so full of joy and potential right now. #strictly

These are donuts are quite delicious and also very easy to make! I got the recipe from here.
1 can of refrigerated biscuits (The recipe uses Grands but I just used the Safeway brand, which are called Jumbos)
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup melted butter
1. Preaheat oven to 350 degrees. Place biscuits on a cutting board and cut a hole in the middle of each. I used the narrow opening of a water bottle for this, but you could also use a prescription bottle or something else.
2. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl. Dip biscuits in butter, coating the entire surface and shaking off the excess before dipping in the cinnamon sugar and placing on an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: You can also use the parts you cut out o make little donut holes. Yum!

Happy Easter!
I was sleeping so good this morning I didn't get up until about 10:30 and made coffee while Jan heated up muffins.
I worked on web stuff for a while and then went out and mounted a new rack on the side of my electrical bay to hang my dogbone power adapters so they don't just have to lay on the bottom of the bay.
About 1 pm our son Chris called to say Hi and see how things were going.
I was also trying to help Nick with a clogged black tank valve, but after flushing and refilling it a few times, he finally got it to dump.
Certainly glad I didn't have to lend a hand.
About 1:30 I made a run to Home Depot for some 4-40 screws and then on to Wal-Mart for cake flour, strawberries, and whipped cream.
She wanted to bake her world-famous pound cake for dessert tonight after Terry's fantastic Mexican feast. So after a short nap, we headed next door about 5:45 for dinner with Nick and Terry.
And boy, was it good. Shredded Beef Tacos with homemade pico de gallo, chicken enchiladas, and of course, refried beans.
Muy delicioso!
After that great dinner, we sat around for a while trying to make room for pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream, and trying to nail down our plans for the next few weeks.
We know we're leaving here on the 27th, and heading over to Williams, AZ to take the Grand Canyon Railway day-long trip to the southern rim of the Canyon. While we're there we also want to check out Bearizona, a drive-thru wildlife park in the area.
After that the plans start to get kind of hazy. We're trying to get tickets to The Talk day-time talk show. If so, we'll probably try to stay at the Soledad Canyon Thousand Trails near Acton, and then head up to Park of the Sierras Escapees park in Coarsegold, CA near Yosemite where we stayed last year.
If our tickets don't come thru, we'll probably head straight up to Coarsegold. But who knows?
It could all change tomorrow.
After all, that's part of the fun, isn't it.

If you ever want to convince someone that a college swimming dual can be just as intense and exciting as any football or basketball game, take them to the next showdown between the men of SMU and TCU. Last night in Fort Worth, the TCU Horned Frogs grabbed their third win in program history, 152-148, over the SMU Mustangs in a meet that could have gone either way based on tight finishes at many points. It was a fight from beginning to end with lead changes throughout the meet and the final score depending on the finish of both their A and B squads in the final relay.
Full results are here.
The meet opened with the 200 medley relay team of Christopher Hearl, John Story, John Smith, and Garrett Hills squeaking out the win on Hills' blazing, come from behind 20.55 anchor leg to edge SMU 1:31.49 to 1:31.75.
TCU extended their early lead with a win from Connor Dobbs in the 1000 free, finishing at 9:31.73 over SMU's Lucas Schenke who turned in 9:36.93.
SMU's Christian Scherubl showed us why he was chosen as the AAC Swimmer of the Year, as he won three events, with the first being a momentum stealer. His 1:40.03 200 freestyle held back TCU's Tommy Thach by .02 to keep TCU's lead from building steam. Later in the meet his golden fingertips also edged out two charging Horned Frog sprinters, with a 46.53 finish leaving TCU's 46.58 by John Smith and 46.64 by Tommy Thach just shy of the big points. Even crazier is that Scherubl was third after the 50 and split 23.70 for the second half to burn past the two Horned Frog sprinters. Scherubl also stole the win later in the 500 from Carlos Hunnicut, 4:36.18 to 4:36.62.
SMU had three more double event winners. Bartos Krzyzaniak won both backstroke events, turning in a 49.29 for the 100 and 1:50.14 for the 200. Samuel Straughan also took the 50 free (21.08) and 100 fly (49.12) to keep the Mustangs in the hunt. Both diving events were also won by Bryce Klein. SMU swept both diving events with 1-3 finishes, and also picked up three diving zone qualifications. In addition to Bryce Klein's double zone Q performance, SMU's Parker Meinecke also surpassed the zone standard in the 1-meter.
Both breaststroke events were won by Horned Frogs, as John Story took the 100 breast in 56.15, and John Remetta won the 200 breast in 2:05.06.
TCU made up ground with two events earning 1-2 sweeps. The 200 fly featured Carlos Hunnicut and Matthew Spallas holding the Mustangs back with their 1:50.92 and 1:52.61 finishes respectively. The 200 IM was also a 1-2 for the Horned Frogs, with Tommy Thach and Hunnicut turning in 1:51.96 and 1:54.83. Those points were a game changer for TCU, as the 200 IM was the last individual event before the 400 free relay, and put TCU back into a position for the entire meet to come down to the final relay. The only possible outcome for a TCU win would have been 1st and 3rd from their A and B squads. If they didn't win, the meet was over– and if they won but their B squad was fourth, the meet would have been a tie. Who doesn't love a high-stakes final relay, right?
The Horned Frogs pulled it off as the TCU team of Smith, Hills, Leonardo Sanchez and Thach were able to hold off the Mustangs' best squad by a mere .62, finishing 3:04.35 to their 3:04.97, and their B squad got the job done as well with a third place finish at 3:07.49 to seal the deal for a hard-fought TCU win. There have been no reports of a brawl in the parking lot, but we will let you know if it is reported that the fight continued after they all got dressed. I would imagine both coaches are proud of the way this dual played out. It sounds like it was a heck of a show.

Department Faculty
Jeremiah (Jerry) Morrissey, PhD
Research Professor of Anesthesiology
Research Interests
Based upon a history of renal disease investigations and the interests within the Kharasch lab of Anesthesiology, Dr. Morrissey's major interest is to identify clinically useful urinary biomarkers of kidney disease. The focus is on the early diagnosis of kidney cancer and predicting predisposition to acute kidney injury in patients within Intensive Care Units.
Renal cancer accounts for about three percent of adult malignancies but is typically silent and frequently fatal. Early diagnosis, triggering surgical excision, is usually curative. Physical signs and symptoms occur late, and by the time renal cancer is consequently diagnosed, it has usually metastasized to lymph nodes or adjacent organs and advanced beyond a therapeutic stage with minimal chance for survival. In a recent publication, we have shown that aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and adipophilin (ADFP) are significantly increased in urinary exosomes of patients with kidney cancer thus providing the first sensitive and specific biomarkers of this disease. Therefore, it is further hypothesized that urine exosomes, vesicular structures released into the urine by all parts of the nephron, will be a discovery tool for additional novel biomarker proteins and will serve as a non-invasive biopsy of kidney cell oncogenesis and metastasis. The overall objective is to identify proteins in the urine exosomes of kidney cancer patients which are unique to this disease, and which can be developed into a diagnostic test to screen whole urine to detect kidney cancer at an early curable stage, to follow patients post-operatively for recurrence and follow patients in treatment for metastatic disease. Unique up- or down-regulated proteins will be identified by unbiased top-down and supervised bottom-up mass spectral (LC/MS/MS) and Western blot proteomic analysis of the urine exosomal proteins. Once proteins are identified in training sets of patients by mass spectrometry, precise but economical ELISA-based immunologic assays that give same-day results will be developed, for protein quantification in whole urine and serum in validation sets of patients. Overall, this study seeks to improve the diagnosis of kidney cancer to a stage early enough to allow a significant chance for cure while maximizing existing kidney function, and identify future molecular targets for selective disease intervention.
Acute renal failure occurs in a significant number of patients in hospital Intensive Care Units and is preceded by acute renal injury which has been traditionally diagnosed as an increase in the serum creatinine level. This increase in creatinine, however, takes place 1-3 days after the actual injury and delays implementation of effective treatments. There is a need to identify novel predictive biomarkers of kidney injury and renal repair equivalent to the serum troponin levels that have revolutionized cardiac diagnosis and care. Identification of non-invasively acquired
urinary biomarkers will help spare patients possible renal biopsies for disease diagnosis and remove uncertainties if the biopsy sample missed focal disease. The unmet need is a simple test to determine a patient's predisposition to develop and then to diagnose acute kidney injury earlier than changes in urine output and/or serum creatinine thus positively altering their course of treatment. We will use proteomic techniques, described above, to identify candidate biomarker proteins in the urine exosomes of patients which are pathogneumonic of sensitization to acute kidney injury and the injury itself and differentiate these proteins from patients who do not develop such kidney injury.

If you haven't yet watched John Oliver's genuinely brutal takedown of third party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, do yourself a favor and check it out. You'll get all kinds of bizarro fuckery and Stein's attempt at being Ani DiFranco.
But that only scratches the surface of the things that Libertarian candidate Johnson has on his own website, where everything is written in the drawl of Johnson's middle-aged stoner who just discovered weed is far more potent now than when he was a teenager. For instance, here's the actual language from the section "Environment," which is notable for having no plan for protecting the, you know, environment: "Is the climate changing? Probably so. Is man contributing to that change? Probably so. But the critical question is whether the politicians' efforts to regulate, tax and manipulate the private sector are cost-effective – or effective at all."
That sort of "Eh, maybe, but whatcha gonna do? Shit happens" approach is pretty much the entirety of the Johnson/Weld platform. (And, by the way, a johnson weld sounds like an incredibly painful and ultimately useless operation to get a bigger penis.) Frankly, Johnson's got a boner for wrecking the environment, being pro-fracking and pro-fossil fuels expansion without trying to mitigate the effects of all of that.
Other issues are treated with basic Republican bullshit, except with an added twist of madness. In "Education," Johnson asserts, "[He] advocated a universally available program for school choice. Competition, he believes, will make our public and private educational institutions better." And Hunger Games will make our students learn how to survive the collapse of society. The mad twist, and, to be fair, he's not the first right-wing politician to propose this, is "he believes we should eliminate the federal Department of Education" and send everything to the states, which means that Alabama could pass a law saying that your Pell Grant can only be used for colleges that teach creationism is true and slavery was awesome.
Now, sure, sure, Johnson has policies that a liberal can love, like being pro-choice and pro-pot and anti-interventionist, but your cool uncle who'll drive you to your abortion and tell you why the Iraq War is bullshit while sharing his stash also has your usual "Oh, fuckin' c'mon" Ron Paul-ish beliefs, like a return to the gold standard for currency, cuts to and privatization of Social Security, and other shit. He likes ludicrous "religious freedom" laws and is against pretty much any gun laws, including schools as gun-free zones. He opposes raising the minimum wage and paid family and medical leave.
In other words, sure, if you're a Republican who cannot stomach a vote for Trump and doesn't give a shit about climate change and just would like to vote for a dumbass without a Hitler complex, well, have at.
(Note: No, I won't be doing one of these on Jill Stein because why?)

kids coats // little goodall
Friday, 3 May 2013
I'm pretty excited about winter now and strangely a large part of that reason is that kids wear wooly, cuddly coats. There is something about miniature coats that just makes my cheeks dimple. Little hands poking out, hoods on little heads and all the more squeezable little bundles of warm! These coats by Little Goodall are possibly too ridiculously cute (can something be tooo cute?!) Incredible right?!
They don't come cheap though... so until I hit lotto, this little yellow fishermans coat will have to suffice for our little lion. I think he quite likes it too (I dont think I'll show him the other options!)
4 comments:
oooh! So adorable! I wish they made them in grown-up sizes! That little owl is amazing!ReplyDelete
Wow, that owl! Yes, please:)ReplyDelete
And I love their bunny coats too. But I agree, for kids that are growing so fast it is a lot to spend on something they'll only be able to wear for a little while. Though for a handmade coat it's probably a fair price.
Oh yes, I completely agree - more than fair in price for all the amazing hand done work there is in there. It's only that I know it will only last 6 months so can't justify it (& it's never even that cold here either)... still very tempting though I must say!Delete

UNION GROVE, TEXAS (Upshur County). Union Grove, a farming community a mile west of State Highway 155 and eleven miles southwest of Gilmer in southwestern Upshur County, was first settled before 1900. Around that time a school opened there, and in 1907 it had twenty-six black students. During the mid-1930s the community included a school, a church, a cemetery, and a few houses. After World War II its school was consolidated with that of Big Sandy, and in the mid-1960s all that remained of the community was a church and cemetery. In 1990 Union Grove was a dispersed rural community. The population was 346 in 2000.

The Principles of Hiding | Butternutten AG
The Principles of Hiding
translate functional and formal aspects of military objects into a domestic context. Between design and strategy, the Principles explore the dynamics of comfort, protection, defence and danger in our daily lives.
The first Principle of Hiding can be used in a similar way to camouflage netting: a broad mesh net designed to be thrown over objects or areas. When having unexpected guests, the throw might be used to conceal disorder. Unlike traditional camouflage netting, the texture is not created by cutting into a textile surface, but by generating volume: Canvas is formed into tubes around ropes, which, when pulled, allow the net to be smocked. The covered arrangement becomes almost sculptural, but individual items can be recognised under the throw with the coloured surfaces of objects shimmering through the adjustable grid, allowing the user to experience the 'Principles of Hiding'.
The second Principle of Hiding has a practical and formal function inspired by ballistic blankets. The tear, bite, cut and shock-resistant blanket transfers the age-old quest for protection into the home. The inner lining of the blanket is a cut-resistant textile, made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and other technical fibres.
The viewer won't recognise the blanket as a protection tool, and the user will experience it much like a conventional blanket: Canvas textile covers all of the functional, technical material. In a way, it's a more passive act of running for shelter: most of the time the blanket is used you won't be expecting an attack. But if something happens, you're protected.
Butternutten AG
is a Karlsruhe/Marrakesh-based design studio run by Oliver-Selim Boualam (Germany, 1992) and Lukas Marstaller (Germany, 1993). They describe their practice as a 'Super Design Service'. After meeting at Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design they started making music and DJing together before establishing Butternutten AG. They realise projects at the interface between art and design, always searching for what is fun and unusual. In their work they try to reflect both a playful and social component.
Butternutten AG has shown work at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany; Etage Projects in Copenhagen, Denmark; Villa Noailles in Hyères, France; Lothringer 13 in Munich, Germany; the Folk Art Museum in Hangzhou, China; MAK – Austrian Museum for Applied Arts/Contemporary Art in Vienna, Austria; SCHUNCK* Museum in Heerlen, The Netherlands; and ZKM – Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany. Boualam and Marstaller were artists in residence at Villa Lena, Italy, in 2017. Recently one of the studio's designs was placed in the Top 100 of the Design Intelligence Award 2017 and they were placed second in the 2016 Pure Talents Contest, run by the German Design Council.

The Bridge
homeward bound
why do we always choose
this bridge?
gerald england
The bridge in the photograph is the Runcorn - Widnes Bridge. Locally and on signposts it is known simply as THE BRIDGE.
When our son, Ian, was staying in a Brain-injury rehabilitation centre, we regularly travelled to Liverpool to visit him. The direct route was along the M62, but often we prefered to use the M56 to Runcorn, over the bridge and past the airport into Liverpool.
Our other son, Craig, used to cheer everytime he saw THE BRIDGE.
This post is in response to the bridge theme on One Deep Breath.

lovely memory for me gerald I used to walk across this bridge every morning to work in widnes from my digs in runcornReplyDelete
there's something about bridges....ReplyDelete
Bridges usually have some kind of beauty attached to them whether they are over a body of water or just indicate the closing in on our destination...ReplyDelete
This was wonderful...
Really nice. Most of my bridge memories are of being stuck in rush hour traffic jams. LOL! So this is a nice antidote.ReplyDelete
I too love this bridge.ReplyDelete
I find bridges a bit scary - but in a good way.
There was a bridge like this on the way to my grandparent's home~it scared me to death when I was a child.ReplyDelete
Your haiku says it all...
Your haiku reminded me of the bridge just like this one that is the only way in and out of a town we call home. I used hate that bridge because it was so scary crossing over the gulf as a young child. Great haiku!ReplyDelete
Bridges are such a symbol of strength, crossings, and transitions. I would certainly choose a bridge route during a time of great stress such as you were enduring.ReplyDelete
Bridges seem to reel in a lot of people, perhaps it is an unconscious pull within ourselves to have connection. Home and bridges, it makes sense in your Haiku and story, I would never have made the association years ago.ReplyDelete
I always think there is something majestic about bridges. I do like the bridge theme. Great picture. (The photos of your sons are beautiful, by the way.)ReplyDelete
Thank you for explaining the meaning of the bridge. What a lovely haiku!ReplyDelete
I love this photograph - the section of the bridge looks so completely solid and sturdyReplyDelete
often photos of bridges look beautiful, or structurally complex or simple, or organic and natural
this picture seems very strong, but leaves me full of wonder about the rest of the bridge - and where it leads from and too
I hope you know what I mean
thank you for the links to more informationReplyDelete
this is still my favourite picture!
I had been on a bridge theme earlier on but, alas, not on a poetic journey like this. I spoke to a man from Newcastle UK, who just happened to be in one photo crossing Maitland bridge. He knew of the severe floods that had occured there (doesn't rain anymore!)ReplyDelete
Not only illegle to climb but also dangerous.ReplyDelete
I collect bridges for a hobby, but because of the size, leave them where they are.
Stanley Holloway had a monologue about crossing the river before they built the bridge at Runcorn
"Per twopence, per person, per trip"
A beautiful bridge as I googled some pictures and they even made a walkway on one side. Nice haiku.ReplyDelete

KINSHASA, March 23 (Reuters) - Democratic Republic of Congo's mines minister rejected a proposal by mining companies on Friday to retain exemptions and scrap some taxes in exchange for higher royalties than those in a new mining code, calling the taxes "untouchable".
Mines Minister Martin Kabwelulu was reacting to a proposal from mining companies under which the companies would accept higher royalty payments if the government agreed to respect 10-year exemptions for existing projects from changes to the fiscal and customs regimes and cancel certain taxes.

20g of dried yeast
30g sugar (or honey)
620ml tepid water
500g bread flour
500g semolina flour
25g salt (depends on preference)
1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar into half the tepid water by gently stirring it with a fork.
2. On a (very large) surface or bowl, mix the two flours and salt together and make a well in the centre.
3. Pour the dissolved yeast into the well but bit by bit (here is when it gets messy and the water starts to drip out in every direction if you don't do it gradually). Make circular motions with your hands to work the liquid into the flours. This should make a very moist dough.
4. Kneading is a lot of fun but make sure to do it thoroughly for five minutes -no more no less. Make sure your hands and the surface are constantly covered in flour.
5. Put the dough in a bowl with cling film on top and place it in a warm place with no draught (e.g a proving draw or above a warm oven). Leave for 40 minutes; until it has doubled in size.
6. Now you have to punch all the air from it. Just whack it a few times with your fist until all the excess air has disappeared. Now mould into your shape and leave to prove again for another 40 minutes. While the dough is proving, heat the oven to 225 degrees
7. Dust a baking tray with semolina flour and put the loaves of bread on it then into the oven for 25 minutes.
8. Smother your bread in homemade marmalade or dip it in balsamic and oliver oil.

One Twisted Crone, The Tale of A Twisted Crone, A Twisted Crone's Story
This is my story. Whenever I finally get the right title.
To Be or Not To Be An Empath
Chapter 1
I never knew until I became an adult and ran across this pigeon hole label, just what and Empath is. I refuse that label unequivocally. "Why," you might ask. All my life I've been taught the importance of fitting in, of being in my right place, and yet all the while, trying to be what I'm supposed to be, not feeling a senses of belonging. Feeling alienated, on the outside looking in. So the logical thing for me to do was to push back, to not fit in, to do the most outrageous things I could think of in order to be different. Maybe that behavior would serve to make me feel part of something. To be a rebel sounded and felt like a romantic way to live my life. So rejecting the label of Empath seems to me the right thing to do.
But what is an Empath exactly? Google...I love Google search because I can now find anything and everything that interests me and I can do it without the painstaking look through countless volumes of heavy books. Google search tells me that an Empath is a "highly sensitive, finely tuned instruments when it comes to emotions. They feel everything, sometimes to an extreme, and are less apt to intellectualize feelings. Intuition is the filter through which they experience the world." Yes, that is what I have experienced all of the years of this life. And I suspect to some degree other lives as well. But of course I must not give into the temptation to put this label on myself, because I am so much more than that.
Being so sensitive to the feelings and the emotions, energy of another person is, to be honest, a heavy burden. I don't know if other people who have chosen to experience this state of being think of it as a burden, but it can be. Because of being such a conduit of energy from everywhere, a person can become overwhelmed. At times, I have withdrawn into complete solitude just because it was too painful to be physically, in the range of another person's energy. I will give you an example or two here.
One such experience comes to mind right away when I think along these lines, so I will recount the experience as best I can.
I was called one morning by my second ex husband with the news that his Mother had been discovered early that morning in her bed deceased. As anyone might expect, even though this man and I were no longer together, still, there was a connection with his family. I had known them all for many years. I went immediately to the home to find it overcome with the energy of grief and loss. Not only was I having to deal with my own feelings of loss for this Woman who had spent years trying to accept me into her family, and finally doing so, there was her husband. His feelings of loss, of fear, of shock, of deep despair over the death of his wife was too much for me. I just wanted to run from the place, to get as far away from that tragedy as possible. I could feel real physical pain right in the middle of my chest area, that hurt me so much, I didn't know how to make it stop. I did care deeply for this Woman but her passing should not have been felt by me that deeply. I was soaking up the pain that her husband was feeling. The more he talked with me, and the longer I sat with him watching silent tears stream down his face, the more distraught I became. There was nothing to do or say but to cry right along with him. As much as I wanted to run out of that house and get away from that energy, I had another discovery. I could run away and be free of that pain, but he could not! He was going to be dealing with this loss and grief for a long time. He could not get away from it just by leaving that house. A house that his wife had made come to life so many times with her Sunday morning family dinners, her Christmas time decorations when she took every picture, every nick knack, away and replaced it all with the Christmas season treasures that she had accumulated over a lifetime! Her very presence in that house brought it to invigorating life. He could not get away by running away, because he had spent his entire adult life up until that day, with this Woman by his side. So I found myself wishing fervently that I could be the kind of person who only sympathizes with someone else's trouble. Wishing that I could gently comfort, hold his hand, sit by him and listen and try to sooth, rather than feel that tremendous pain and loss and loneliness that my own essence was soaking up like a sponge. I couldn't block it, I didn't know how. And I stayed.

I dream about my very best lady since I am single, but houses no. I won't ever personal one nor have I ever needed to. If I have been going to dream it, can be more than one, like a cottage in New England only for fall colors. When we lived in a home that had excessive humidity, the damp was present because we lived in a moist local weather, the home had thick stone walls with no damp proof course and there was little or no in the best way of ventilation. You can use the standard Nothing within the House pie crust recipe for this- it'll be flakier- but this is extra of a biscuit crust, with the added texture of the almond meal pairing properly with the sweet stone fruit. She began a small enterprise out of her dwelling which at its peak, produced 6,000 grapies each season.
Alternatively, a tropical and joyful setting can be one that is native to the seaside house in scorching climes. The primary factor I have notably enjoyed this 12 months though is a few color- flowers in entrance of the home. In the show, Laurie plays enigmatic and grouchy medical genius Dr Gregory House who heads a team of diagnosticians at a New Jersey hospital. The home has been remodeled a number of occasions but maintains many of its original options. This outdated house has many issues and we're holding on for our new one, patching and band aiding it as we go. In addition to mice, we have had fly infestations (this was Phil Corrigan's private battle, lol!), along with a squirrel problem.
House prices in Scotland differ enormously from area to area, and costs in some of the huge cities corresponding to Edinburgh and Glasgow are just as high, if not greater, than their southern equivalents. Does not taste like it, or act prefer it. I even assume it's some type of pharmaceutical, as Jarrow, because it's sale to a large company, has gone to China for all their supplement manufacture. Although the generous provide of low-cost housing seems to inform a unique story, it could just be that the house costs are solely temporarily lagging behind the larger picture. Braunton is a big village 5 miles west of Barnstaple, which lately, has turn into known for it is wonderful surfing seashore.
I actually have a lot of ideas about learn how to cure the housing shortage, and most of them revolve round restoring MIRAS for first time buyers, and enforcing hire caps to discourage novice purchase-to-letters thus lowering the burden on native councils who typically need to pay extraordinary and extortionate rents for social housing out of the general public purse.
The south-east is expensive whether or not you live in a good area or a not-so-good area, and in all the regions I point out above, the dearest properties are typically nonetheless a lot, much cheaper than a comparable home in Sussex, Surrey or Hampshire. You see, the door that leads to the garage into the house will get critically banged up -especially from the surface which is shown right here. Orientation – Check the orientation of the house in relation to the sun angle and the way natural lighting will penetrate the house. Also, the solar may feel good to you, but rabbits are extraordinarily sensitive to warmth and vulnerable to dehydration, indoor ones especially, but all of them will die in the event that they get too hot. You can assist preserve a wholesome and numerous wildlife ecosystem by inviting more bats into your backyard habitat with these bat box plans for a simple to make and ornamental bat home.

picking roses
I have been busy trying to loose some weight. As you will know, it takes dedication and commitment and above all time. I've been walking twice a week and attending exercise classes twice a week. I'm told the endorphins I get from doing all this exercise will carry me through and help me feel great and give me more energy. I'm wondering if it's possible to overdose on exercise? All I want to do is eat chocolate and sleep!! It's going to be a long road......
We have also decided to sell the Madness and Mess home and that has meant spring cleaning from top to toe. Of course I've had to fit this in between sleeping and eating chocolate so it's cutting into my creative time.
However, I did slip unnoticed into my sewing room this morning and you might get to see what I've been up to....
Back soon,

Wow, selling the 'Madness & Mess' home. That's a huge decision, leaving your gorgeous driveway of daffodils and the sheep. Will you go onto more land or be like many of us and downsize? Good luck with the weight. This time last year I was on the losing thing, this year it's the opposite ;-/
take it easy, hugs

Welcome back! It takes a few weeks to stop the cravings for chocolate and that sense of 'starvation' - ask me how I know, LOL! You are taking on a lot of change all at once with a possible sale thrown into the mix, so be gentle on yourself. Just cut down meal sizes and keep moving - it helps get you there. Packing and unpacking will remove kilos too ... cheers xo

Hope your back feels better soon. All the work involved in selling up and moving on must surely help with the weight loss as well as the walking - good luck with that. Can't wait to see what you've been making - your work is always so inspiring.

Congratulations on your fitness regime - what a coincidence that I too have been on a 'mission' to lose some weight this past month - did you have a sneak peek and see my striding around our little village at 7.30am every cold, misty, and wet morning,for a couple of miles before buying the daily papers for my husband and next door neighbour? Have you watched me 'fasting' a couple of days a week wondering what I can eat on those days for 500 calories - quite a lot actually, I've got quite inventive with veggies!
And please don't tell me you spied on my weighing myself every morning - those sighs when I didn't lose and ounce and the sheer joy when I lost 2lb over a week - and I've now lost a whole stone! It's not hard the way I have been doing it - but alas - the two squares of plain chocolate have had to be resisted each day sigh - but oh the joy of finding clothes in the back to my wardrobe that I can slip into, and the little modest smile on my thinner face when people have noticed
Keep up the good work - it's worth it. And at least it's your summer time and you can eat all those lovely summer meals, whereas here it's cold and wet and miserable so I have to comfort myself with the roasted summer veggies which I've frozen. Can't wait to see what you have created inbetween those exercise classes.
Have a great weekend

Howdy stranger...from Bangkok! How's life? Busy I see! Already done the house thing; eternally on the diet thing, lol! I'm swinging on by all my bestest blog buddy blogs (I've just resurrected mine after a long hiatus). Hope everything goes well for you both. Moving house is up there on the stress barometer.

Oh bother-and I thought we would spend the whole day eating chocolates.
Now I understand why we will be doing a lot of walking as well :-((

Good luck with the exercising and the moving homes. Both of those jobs are really time consuming. I hope that you can get in some creative time as well.

I don't envy you the cleaning up to move or all the peopl in your house that it involves. Good Luck. try brushing your teeth straight after a meal....I find it stops me wanting to pick between meals.Also Focus on what you are allowed to eat not the other way around.
Wondering what your plans are with your move?
