Halloween is incomplete without candies, Halloween costumes, pumpkins, horror movies, ghost stories and of course Halloween decorations. Even if you are not hosting a Halloween party, you still need to deck up your home to frighten your neighbours, trick-or-treaters and other people.
In many countries and areas, people also have a competition to judge whose house looks and has been decorated the most scariest and spookiest. People who are obsessed with Halloween literally spend big money to decorate their house to make it look like a haunted mansion that we all hear about in most horror stories, on the Halloween decorations and costumes, on candies, jack-o-lanterns and of course of good food and cake that are decorated and presented in a scary way.
Halloween decorations are literally infinite
You can come up with all sorts of ideas. In case you do not want to spend money and resources on buying Halloween decorations, you can make your own.
Do it yourself Halloween decorations are easy and extremely simple and hardly require any material. Just make use of the materials at home, re-use certain household items and your Halloween decorations are ready and you can transform your home into a haunted house, the lab of a mad scientist, or into a scary dungeon or even a graveyard.
You cannot have Halloween without awesome Halloween decorations. Also, do not forget to order online cake delivery in Mumbai to end your fright night on a sweet and delicious note. In case you do not want to decorate the inside of your house, you can just decorate your garden, balcony or front porch or even just the area around the main front door. You can hang something creepy and spooky on the door and the windows. You can even just not switch on the lights to make your house seem like a place of absolute terror.
Here are some easy and awesome ideas for Halloween decorations:
- You can either buy spider web stickers and put them up in several places or just use white thread or ribbon to make a spider web according to the size you prefer. You can use black paper to make some super big and scary spiders and entangle them wherever you put the web. You can make big creepy eyes and expression on the faces of the spiders to give people a fright.
- You can use plenty and all kinds of pumpkin decorations. Pumpkins are an absolute must on the night of Halloween be it in terms of it being incorporated in food and beverages or being used as decorations. You can find lights in the shape of pumpkins and hang them anywhere you want. Pumpkin stickers and jack-o-lanterns are the best decorations for Halloween.
- You can decorate your regular books and magazines to make them look like an ancient spellbook of a witch. You can have white candles on candlesticks and dried flowers especially roses. You can even use red paint or sauce to give the candles and the books and flowers droplets of blood. You can make plastic skulls with old newspaper or buy skulls to decorate your house.
- You can use white bandage, newspaper, ribbons and threads to give your home a mummified look. You can either make a mummy or just used the white bandage to mummify the entire house.
- Blacks cats, bats, spiders, owls, other insects, are a few decorations that you absolutely must use on Halloween. You can either buy them or even make them by yourself easily at home. A few creatures here and there to give your home the feel of a haunted house.
After the Halloween night, order cake online in Delhi to end this scary night on a sweet note.

So my journey continues, 4 weeks/30 days following a kick start plan and how am I doing? Well I have lost 22 inches! Trousers that I couldn't get on now fit! I don't crave sugar, biscuits, chocolate, cakes etc
What have I learned? I can cook! I can afford to eat proper food and most importantly feed my family well! I have a new found love for food, proper food not the sugar laden or high fat variety! I have been slowly introducing my habits and meals to my hubby and my daughter who are enjoying home cooked meals daily regardless of whether I am working or not. I am making the transition to gluten free at the moment slowly changing tbe stock in my cupboards. This I will only partiality do with hubby and Alexis as I won't force my lifestyle on them unless it was for their health as recommended by a health professional.
I am still baking once a week with my daughter I love doing a good cake and cannot wait to try almond or coconut floor replacement in my recipes :-)
I have done extensive research into my diet and its effect on the human body at all ages and its all positive so making small changes like replacing the floor is no issue.
The difference in my appearance is amazing I have attached progress pictures and I apologise for them now as they are gross but a step on the journey for me :-)
My girl turns 4 next week, I am off work all week and have my parents down so going to be interesting how I am going to stick to the plan and do my daily exercises!
Update on my journey soon...

This book has, directly and indirectly, been referred to in a number of on-line discussions over the last few months and so when I saw it on the book table at Presbytery last month I decided it was worth a read.
IT was, okay. THere were times when I found that Tickle was over-simplifying both the historical and present analysis. With the result that the picture of what she was describing felt skewed (in favour of her thesis of course).
However I found her basic premise sound. And it was an intriguing look at where the Church Universal may be heading. Certainly worth a read. But not, IMO, a "must read".

By David Stringer and James Paton
Aug. 19 (Bloomberg) — Tugboat crews, including deckhands paid more than some New York bankers, are threatening to disrupt shipments from the world's biggest iron ore port as they negotiate for increased wages and improved conditions.
Australian iron ore miners may collectively lose about A$100 million ($93 million) a day as a result of stoppages at Port Hedland, according to BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company. The port exports about half of the nation's shipments, forecast to reach A$76.5 billion in the year through June 2015, according to government forecasts.
"Any tightening of supply, particularly at current levels, could see an iron ore price reaction that might offset any short-term revenue losses," said Michael McCarthy, a chief strategist at CMC Markets in Sydney. "It's not an overwhelming negative."
Iron ore sank last week to the lowest level in almost two months as a credit gauge in China plunged, adding to risks that demand will slow from the world's biggest buyer of the raw material. BHP said in May that its mining operations may start winding down after two days of any strike action because stocks at the port were reasonably high.
The deckhands' union has approval for unlimited stoppages for periods between two hours and 12 hours, while two other unions will ballot engineers and tug masters to enable strikes for as much as two-days and one day respectively. Unions have discussed possible industrial action since March and, depending on the results of voting, rolling stoppages could stretch to November.
Wall Street
The deckhands earn at least A$137,000 a year, which can rise to about A$211,000 with benefits and allowances, according to BHP. A junior banker on Wall Street typically makes a base salary in a range of $70,000 to $90,000, with bonuses bringing total pay to as much as $140,000, according to New York-based compensation consultant Johnson Associates Inc.
At the top end, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. awarded Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein at least $23 million in 2013 compensation, according to an April filing.
"A threat to strike has been seen by others across the community as extraordinarily unreasonable," Deidre Willmott, chief executive officer of the Western Australia Chamber of Commerce and Industry said by phone from Perth. "The fact that most of these disputes are ultimately resolved through negotiations is cold comfort."
Winner Rio?
Any strike action would likely have a short-term share market impact, said CMC's McCarthy, though he rates the chance of a strike as extremely low.
Deckhands typically work for at least 12 hours-a-day and spend four week stretches away from their families, said Will Tracey, the assistant secretary of the Western Australia branch of the Maritime Union of Australia.
"They deserve to be paid well," Tracey said in a Aug. 14 e-mailed response to questions. "They also deserve to have annual leave, which they don't currently receive."
Iron ore exports from Port Hedland advanced to a record 364.3 million tons in fiscal 2014, according to the Pilbara Ports Authority. Rio Tinto Group, the biggest iron-ore exporter after Brazil's Vale SA, makes shipments through Western Australia's Cape Lambert and Dampier ports.
Rio "may be a potential beneficiary if the strikes concerns were to escalate and have an impact on iron ore pricing" as it isn't directly affected by the Port Hedland disputes, Michael Bush, Melbourne-based head of credit research at National Australia Bank Ltd., said in an Aug. 7 note.
14 Tugs
Fortescue Metals Group Ltd., which also exports from Port Hedland, has said jobs among its 8,000-strong work force could be put in jeopardy as a result of any strikes.
Tugboat engineers at Port Hedland earn a basic salary of A$220,000 a year, and with allowances can command a total annual package of as much as A$390,000, according to Teekay Shipping (Australia) Pty, which operates 14 tugs crewed by 166 staff under a contract with BHP. Masters, who pilot the tugs, are paid between A$220,000 and about A$322,000, BHP said.
Engineers will accept a wage increase in line with the consumer price index and are seeking changes to working patterns they say leave crews dangerously fatigued, said Henning Christiansen, the Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers' federal secretary. The union's intention is to "shine a spotlight on the dangerous hours of work that BHP" and Teekay require of tug crews, he said in an e-mail.
The Australian Maritime Officers Union, which represents the tugboat masters, didn't respond to three phone calls seeking comment.
One the other side of the continent, union members working on more than $60 billion of liquefied natural gas export projects in Queensland, for companies including ConocoPhillips, last week approved a labor agreement, easing concerns of delays to first production.

Vehicle Mileage Allowance
Vehicle Mileage Allowance
Mileage is reimbursed at the IRS rate. Allowable mileage is not to exceed 110 percent of the most direct route. Actual expenses for parking, toll roads and bridges, ferries, etc. while en route are also reimbursed. An average of at least 350 miles per day is required on trips of more than one day in order to receive full lodging and per diem expenses (except where uncontrollable circumstances make it impossible to maintain this average).
Mileage reimbursement forms are available on the
Accounting Department
Mileage Allowance Form
Privately Owned Vehicles
When travel by private auto (rather than by common carrier) is elected and approved by the supervisor, reimbursement shall not exceed the total cost of the authorized method of common carrier and lodging expenses associated with the use of that method. Any additional cost is to be borne by the traveler and not the Laboratory.
A personal automobile may be used to travel between the employee's residence and travel destination. The standard mileage allowance is paid for the round trip mileage between such points, minus normal commuting distance. Overnight air, rail, or bus terminal parking charges, if deemed cost effective by the trip approver, are reimbursable.
Mileage reimbursement for use of a private auto for official business not associated with business travel, such as, on-site mileage or mileage incurred for off-site local travel (i.e. to a training site), is subject to the following:
Division/Section approval
Claims are to be filed within one month of the date the private auto is used.
Claims older than one month may be denied.

Realme is expanding to China
Realme was announced last year as an affordable series of Oppo, just to separate later into an independent brand that still uses the infrastructure of its parent company. Interestingly enough, the company is present in plenty of Asia-Pacific markets, but none of them are the homeland of China.
Now, it appears this is bound to change, since Realme established a Weibo account, a first step that many other companies have done, before starting their campaigns in the country.
Yesterday the verified account asked Did you hear I am back? and today it doubled on the announcement with I am here, I am Realme, accompanied with a picture of a person, making a courageous jump, clearly a hint that the sub-brand is willing to go even further with its development. And if you think this is some practical joke, the company founder Sky Li is among the followers of the new account.
Currently, Realme is available in Asian countries like India, Bangladesh, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and others. The brand is also offering its devices in Egypt via Jumia where the Realme 3 was just introduced yesterday. However, the Indian division is one step ahead, with yesterday introducing the Realme 3 Pro and Realme C2. Only time will tell which devices will appear on the home market, and we will follow closely.

Jerry Brown, the best governor for California
When Jerry Brown won the governor's job in California in 2012, the conservative media announced the death of the California dream. When he took office, the state had double-digit unemployment, a $26 billion budget deficit and debt in the $35 billion range — dubbed the "wall of debt." The right was convinced he'd just make things worse. While on the campaign trail, Mitt Romney joked that "America is going to become like Greece, or like Spain, or Italy, or like … California." Things hae since got a lot better under Governor Brown: California's budget runs a surplus, unemployment is 8.3% and falling thanks to the fastest job creation rate in America, and the wall of debt is being paid down as the economy grows 3.2% annually. And he did it with policies that run contrary to the conventional wisdom.
California's Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown, Jr., is the nation's oldest governor at 75. He was also once the nation's youngest governor; when he was elected in 1974, he was 36. In between he was a presidential candidate (three times: 1976, 1980, and 1992), a failed U.S. Senate candidate (once), Mayor of Oakland, Attorney General of California, a radio host and a volunteer worker with Mother Teresa. A Jesuit by training, Jerry has always attacked problems with intellectual deliberateness and creativity. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes people miss the point, which is how Pulitzer Prize winner Mike Royko of Chicago dubbed him "Governor Moonbeam" — an epithet Royko later said he regretted.

The conventional wisdom in American politics is that you can't raises taxes, and you have to run a deficit to get the economy going again. Jerry proved those were just plain wrong. He crafted Prop 30, which hiked the state's income taxes on the wealthiest and the state's sales tax that everyone pays. And he campaigned for it personally, risking his own political standing. The funds raised were dedicated to paying for education. The people voted for it 55-45% — voters raised their own taxes. That brought in $6 billion right there.
At the same time, he cut spending in other areas to create a budget that was balanced. This is something the Republicans talk a lot about, but whenever they govern, they run up deficits. As governor of California, Saint Ronald Reagan never got the state's deficit under control. As president, Ronnie doubled the national debt and signed the largest tax increase the nation had ever seen (and traded arms for hostages, cut and ran in the Middle East, and invaded a nation that posed no threat to American security).
Indeed, The American Conservative said in 2009, "Governor Brown was much more of a fiscal conservative than Governor Reagan." The AC noted, "Reagan had raised taxes several times and boosted spending by an average of 12.2 percent a year [as governor]. In his first year as governor, by contrast, Brown increased spending by just 4.6 percent, less than the rate of inflation."
President George W. Bush's budgetary behavior was even worse.
Meanwhile, Democrats have a reputation, largely deserved, of not caring about debt and unfunded obligations. Ask Argentina, Greece or Detroit how that works.

Cards on the table time — I was Jerry's New York State Coordinator from 1991 to 1992 when we lost the nomination to Bill Clinton (I maintain to this day that a politician beat a statesman at the convention). I got to know Jerry a bit when I spent three days as his right-hand man in New York City — I drove him around the city, arranged a fundraiser and made sure that he made his media appointments.
In November 1991, I found myself at LaGuardia Airport at the gate meeting the San Francisco flight (remember when you could meet people at the gate?). He got off the plane by himself, no Secret Service, no entourage, wearing a beige trenchcoat and carrying his own bag. We took the 59th Street Bridge to Manhattan and Joan Didion's house where he was staying. Jerry started talking to me like he knew me from way back and asked about New York politics.
For the next three days, I took him to law offices for meetings, back to Didion's to change clothes, over to Rockefeller Center for a TV spot (he was interviewed along with Gene McCarthy by Garrick Utley — three heroes of mine in one afternoon), and down to Chinatown for a $45-a-head fundraiser I had helped organize. After that, I drove him down to Atlantic City to hand him off to the New Jersey organization at an AIPAC meeting.
You learn a lot about a guy when you spend that kind of time in a car together. Four things stick out about those hours.
First, the "Governor Moonbeam" story I got from the horse's mouth. Early in his career, Jerry was on a flight from San Francisco to LA on state business and discovered that half the plane was filled with state officials. It struck him as a complete waste of time and money. He made an off-the-cuff proposal that California send up its own communications satellite and have those bureaucrats teleconference. Back in the 1970s, that was science fiction. Royko turned that into "Governor Moonbeam."

Second, Jerry told a story about his time in a Jesuit seminary. When it was your turn to sweep the floor, you had to get a broom out of a closet so small that you had to bow down to get into it. As a result, you wound up looking directly at a sign that read "DO what you are doing." In other words, be deliberate about all of your actions. "Those words really stuck," Jerry said to me.
Third, on the way to Atlantic City, Jerry was listening to the radio, looking over some notes and eating an apple (which is a favorite). A woman from the California staff was catching a ride in the backseat. When he finished his apple, Jerry rolled down the wind and tossed the core out. The woman in the back said, "Jerry! That's littering!"
"No it isn't. I just planted a tree in New Jersey," was his reply.
Fourth and last, he got into a policy discussion with some people late one night, arguing over costs, and Jerry burst out saying, "What good is a social program if you can't pay for it?"
Social liberal, fiscal conservative, environmentalist visionary — I'd take a guy like that over Hillary any day.

Wind up Matters about Richmond
General Grant expresses optimism while a Confederate government clerk hopes for intervention by France on behalf of the Confederacy. Longstreet and Lee try to anticipate Grant's next move. A Southern woman mourns the death of a slave. Families mourn the death of loved ones.
March 18– Saturday– Lynchburg, Virginia– "Your model of gun is so incomplete that it will be useless to take it Richmond in it present condition & I haven't time to have one made. I have left it in Farmers Bank with Mr. Lo. Norvell. I think you had better come here & complete the Model & take it Richmond But I have ascertained that you can do nothing with the government or any one else unless we can furnish the metal for its manufacture. I can get up a large company here if we can furnish the metal. So I think you had better go to Orono at once & put things through there & then start the gun nearly at the Armory works in Richmond are stopped for want of metal. Some very wealthy men are anxious to go into the iron business at Orono we get the iron & then we can go ahead with the gun. I would have written to you sooner, but have been worked half to death by generals in & around Lynchburg ever since I parted with you. Keep me acquainted with your movements." ~ Letter from A. D. Robertson to Lorenzo Sibert.
March 18– Saturday– Richmond, Virginia– The Congress of the Confederate States of America adjourns. [It will not meet again.]
March 18– Saturday– Warsaw, Poland– On or about this date, Anna Held is born. She will become a star in American musical comedy and common law wife of Florenz Ziegfeld. [Dies August 12, 1918.]
March 19 – Sunday– Milwaukee, Wisconsin– Birth of William Morton Wheeler, entomologist and educator. [Dies April 19, 1937.]
March 19– Sunday– Richmond, Virginia– "As beautiful a spring morning as ever dawned since the sun spread its glorious light over the Garden of Eden. Cannon is heard at intervals down the river; and as we have had a few days of wind and sunshine, the surface of the earth is becoming practicable for military operations. . . . Thousands of non-combatants and families, falling weekly within the power of Sherman's army, have succumbed to circumstances and perforce submitted. I suppose most of those remaining in Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington, etc. have taken the oath of allegiance to the United States; and I hear of no censures upon them for doing so. Whether they will be permitted long to enjoy their property– not their slaves, of course– will depend upon the policy adopted at Washington. If it be confiscated, the war will certainly continue for years, even under the direction of President Davis, who is now quite unpopular. If a contrary course be pursued, the struggle may be more speedily terminated– perhaps after the next great battle. And Mrs. Davis has become unpopular with the ladies belonging to the old families. Her father, Mr. Howell, it is said was of low origin, and this is quite enough to disgust others of 'high birth,' but yet occupying less exalted positions. Ladies are now offering their jewels and plate at the Treasury for the subsistence of the army. It is not a general thing, however. Yesterday bacon was selling at $20 per pound, and meal at $140 per bushel. If Sherman cuts the communication with North Carolina, no one doubts that this city must be abandoned by Lee's army– and yet it may not be so if diligent search be made for food. The soldiers and the people may suffer, but still subsist until harvest; and meantime the God of battles may change the face of affairs, or France may come to our relief." ~ Diary of John Jones.
March 19– Sunday– City Point, Virginia– "We are now having fine weather and I think will be able to wind up matters about Richmond soon. I am anxious to have Lee hold on where he is a short time longer so that I can get him in a position where he must lose a great portion of his army. The rebellion has lost its vitality and if I am not much mistaken there will be no rebel army of any great dimensions in a few weeks hence. Any great catastrophe to any one of our armies would of course revive the enemy for a short time. But I expect no such thing to happen. . . . I am in excellent health but would enjoy a little respite from duty wonderfully. I hope it will come soon. My kindest regards to all at home. I shall expect to make you a visit the coming summer." ~ Letter from Union General Ulysses S Grant to his father Jesse.
March 20– Monday– New York City– "The secessionists of East Tennessee, who, at the outset of the war, practiced every imaginable outrage on their neighbors, are beginning to suffer the just penalty of their action. The Union men, the courts having been reestablished, are prosecuting their former prosecutors for damages sustained, and the juries, so far as cases have come to trial, indicate a disposition to see full justice done to all concerned. Parson Brownlow has just recovered $25,000 damages in the United States Circuit Court at Knoxville, from three persons who had made him the object of their malice; another loyalist has obtained a verdict for a similar amount, while the heirs of a third have recovered the large sum of $40,000 in a similar manner. Brownlow, in his paper, advises all Union men who have suffered to commence suits at once; and the verdict in the cases named will, no doubt, influence very many to follow his advice. . . . Should the practice thus initiated in Tennessee be carried out in other States, as they are gradually recovered and civil government reestablished, many wrongs will no doubt be righted and the wealthy secessionist, even should they escape all political penalties, will find, as others have done before them, that crime always brings, in some form, its own retribution. The action of the east Tennessee juries affords conclusive evidence that the loyal people of the insurgent States, when the rebellion is finally expelled, can be depended upon to administer the laws and take care of the secession element without any help from loyal bayonets." ~ New York Times.
March 20– Monday– outside Richmond, Virginia– "I presume that the enemy's next move will be to raid against the Danville Railroad, and think that it would be well if we begin at once to make our arrangements to meet it. In order that we may get the troops that may be necessary to meet such a move, would suggest that we collect all the dismounted men of Generals Fitz Lee, Rosser, and Lomax, and put them behind our strongest lines, and draw out a corps of infantry and hold it in readiness for the raid. General W. H. F. Lee's dismounts might also be used behind our works to great advantage. With a cavalry force of two or three thousand men to hold the enemy in check, I think that our infantry may be able to overtake the raiding column. If we can get a large cavalry force I think that we would surely be able to destroy the raiding force." ~ Message from Confederate General James Longstreet to General Robert E Lee.
March 20– Monday– Albany, Georgia– "The rain has stopped at last and the waters are beginning to subside, but the roads are terrible. We have had a mail at last, too, and a long letter from home giving us carte blanche as to future movements; as dear old father expressed it: 'Go where you please, when you please, do what you please and call on Mr. Farley or Mr. Butler for all the money you need.' That is the way I like to be treated. I think now we will go to Chunnennuggee by way of Eufaula and the Chattahoochee. The river trip would be pleasant, and Jenny and Julia Toombs are with their aunt in Eufaula, who has invited us to meet them there. However, our movements are so uncertain that I don't like to make engagements. We will stop a few days in Cuthbert with the Joyners, anyway." ~ Journal of Eliza Frances Andrews.
March 20– Monday– Kyoto, Japan– Yamanami Keisuke, a prominent samurai, dies by his own hand at 32 years of age.
March 21– Tuesday– Richmond, Virginia– "The Battalion from Camps Winder and Jackson, under the command of Dr. Chambliss, including the company of colored troops under Captain Grimes, will parade on the square on Wednesday evening, at 4½ o'clock. This is the first company of Negro troops raised in Virginia. It was organized a month since, by Dr. Chambliss, from the employees of the hospitals, and served on the lines during the recent Sheridan raid." ~ Richmond Sentinel.
March 21– Tuesday– Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia, Virginia– "I wrote you immediately on Seeing the two notices in the papers of our Brother, I know you would be in a State of great agony of mind. We have no farther news at all & keep indulging in a hope that he may be only wounded. I have telegraphed to all the Sources, I think I can get any farther information from, and am still without any news. If I can get suitable papers I will go on myself and look after him. It would be next to impossible for you to get on these now. I will do all in my power for him & if wounded will contrive him someway of getting to Georgia or make him comfortable where he is. I feel greatly for you my dear sister & trust you will find support in this dark hour of suspense. I have not written Father & Mother yet until we can find out the facts." ~ Letter from one of the King brothers to his sister, concerning his brother Barrington Simeral King.
March 21– Tuesday– Bentonville, North Carolina– Three days of fighting concludes in another Union victory as the last effort to stop Sherman's advance fails. Total casualties– dead, wounded, missing– are approximately 1500 for the Federals and approximately 2700 for the Confederates.
March 22– Wednesday– McMinnville, Tennessee– "Poor Martha [a slave] passed away from earth– I trust into a heavenly rest. I felt very badly . . . winds roared and raved everywhere, shook the windows, and drove the smoke down the chimneys. I had a fire made in the front bed-room, where I staid with the children after we got Martha laid out, and all the house clean and quiet. I made wreaths to put over her of white peach blooms and hyacinths and arbor-vitae. She looked very natural. That evening Mollie came and how glad I was to see her! I had been feeling so sick, and lonely and depressed all day. Mollie had heard in the evening that Martha was dead, and came right off as soon as school was out, walking three miles and crossing the river on horseback behind a Negro to get here. I was so grateful to her. That night there was a room full of Negroes to sit up. I sent them in refreshments about midnight—coffee, cordial, bread, fresh peaches, etc. They were very quiet and orderly, no noise except when some one slipped out for wood to replenish the fire and the sound of the hymns they sung all thru the night. I could not help feeling sorry for the Negroes – times are so changed with them from what they were before this war. Their merry-makings then were so numerous and so characteristic as also were peculiar ways of conducting all these things, which were characteristic—and so picturesque, if I may use the term. In a few years these things will pass away, be merged in Yankee customs, in accordance with, and obedience to that old Puritanic spirit which will never permit anybody to speak, act, or think but just as it thinks, speaks and acts. Let us of the South be not boastful that we are a separate and different people– but grateful." ~Journal of Lucy Virginia French.

Day 2
Floating past the clustered huts of locals living on the banks of the river, cruise down the Rio Negro to the MEETING OF THE WATERS. Marvel at the confluence of the dark-colored Rio Negro and the light chocolate-colored Rio Solimões, where the two rivers come together to form the mighty Amazon.

COVID-19 Update & Customer Support Information >
Added: 18 February 2019
Are you ready for a new type of SUV? You might be interested in the Skoda Vision X. The freshly designed car will be closely related to VW cousins, the VW T-Cross and the Seat Arona. It's expected to launch in 2019 and so far, has already showcased some very impressive features that you won't want to miss out on. Let's take a look at this new vehicle and what you can expect from it when it launches later this year.
You're definitely going to be impressed with the interior of this vehicle because it's packed full with plenty of tech. Let's start with the massive touch screen which slots firmly in the centre of the dash. All the dials on the vehicle are also digital providing a simple, clean user interface. There's some cool, clever ambient lighting too and while it's a little extreme right now, it will probably be dialled back before final production. Ultimately, this is a car that manages to feel both contemporary and cool.
As well as this, there are going to be notable changes to the interior of this SUV that is different from other similar vehicles. Instead of having a full set of four individual seats, the car is designed with a rear bench. However, the car hasn't lost a personal feel and the unique stitching ensures that it will stand out and look great on the market.
As for the exterior, the vehicle is designed to look powerful despite the compact size. It should be practical when trying to find car parking spaces too due to it's sleek, subtle design.
The car is actually powered by the VW Group 1.5-litre TSI engine. As well as this, the car is expected to come equipped with a small electric motor. This is designed to ensure that the car is eco-friendly and guarantee that it offers versatility as well. The motor can even provide extra power to the rear axle and provide, for at least a short amount of time, all-wheel drive. However, the car will actually be available in front and four-wheel drive too.
As the name suggests, thus far, the only teases of the car have been concepts. This points to the fact that the final design has not been fully formed yet. However, Skoda claims that the Vision X is unlikely to see too many changes when it does hit the market later this year. The innovative features that have been showcased are likely to remain intact as will the shape and size of the vehicle. Though, it's possible there will be minor changes the company says that the concept is a realistic design that is virtually road ready.
An impressive machine then and with an expected price of just £16,000 this is certainly going to be a budget-friendly SUV. There's definitely a lot of reason to be excited for when this car finally does enter the market a little later in the year. Contact us today to find out more.

- THE MPRESSIONIST 470hp 1M-kitted 135i / HARDCORE 135i 470hp, #1M-kitted beast
With 1M looks backed-up with a lot more than 1M power, what was once an unassuming 135i is now a package of pure muscle. Words: Elizabeth de Latour Photos: Matt Richardson
Fitting the 3.0-litre, twin-turbo, straight-six N54 engine into the 1 Series Coupé is one of the best things BMW has ever done. The engine amazed when it first appeared in the E9x 335i thanks to its combination of huge torque spread, impressive top-end, and stirring soundtrack (despite the presence of two turbos to muffle the exhaust note). And then BMW decided to stuff it under the bonnet of the smaller, lighter 1 Series Coupé creating something of a performance hero. But the story doesn't end there because a couple of years later BMW came out with the 1M, with the E9x M3 running gear crammed under those swollen arches, more power and more attitude, this time creating a performance icon. These days you can pick a 135i up for about £10,000 whereas you'd need about £40,000 to get your hands on a limited edition 1M. Of course, the 1M is a very different prospect when compared with a plain Jane 135i but certainly as far as performance goes there's hardly anything in it. And once you've whacked a remap on the 135i it'll be the quicker car, if that's what you're interested in. Of course, there's nothing stopping you from buying yourself a 135i and building it up into something that's even better than a 1M…
Meet Sachin Patel, a man who's done just that. And while he's got a fair bit of cash invested in his long-term love of a 135i, he's built this beast of a 1 Series for less than stock 1M would cost to buy. It's packing some serious firepower, enough to refuse to be intimidated by all but the most heavyweight high performance machinery. And, of course, pouring money as well as your heart and soul into your BMW is just part of everyday life when you're a lifelong fan of Bavaria's finest.
"Actually, I was never a BMW fan," says Sachin. Oh well, scratch that then. "I lived in West London and saw so many so I wasn't really interested in them at all. That all changed, though, when I drove a 120d. I was really impressed by it. I was looking for a small, powerful car that was also economical and when I read Jeremy Clarkson's review of the 135i I was sold and went and bought one."
Sachin always knew he was going to modify his 135i and the first item on his list was more power, because when it's so easy to extract it would be rude not to. In order to ramp up the power the 135i was treated to a remap, along with an induction kit and a pair of uprated diverter valves. This was enough to nudge power up to the very high 300s and plenty to be getting on with. Sachin also decided to give his chassis a bit of a tweak with the addition of some thicker Eibach anti-roll bars to improve its cornering abilities. And that was enough to satisfy his needs for mods for a while.
"After I'd had the car for about four or five years I decided to sell it and move onto something else," says Sachin. "A prospective buyer came over one day to have a look at it and said that he was going to put a 1M kit on whatever car he bought. It sounded like such a good idea that I removed the car from sale and started looking at getting the 1M kit done myself. I called MStyle, said I wanted a 1M kit, and everything snowballed from there."
The transformation was no gentle transition, though. "The styling went from standard to this in one go!" Sachin exclaims. That's one hell of a transformation. The kit is a Prior Design M wide-body kit, consisting of front and rear bumpers, side skirts, wider front wings and wider rear quarter panels. It's comprehensive and means that this 135i looks every inch the 1M that inspired its makeover. Now, the kit on its own is awesome and Sachin could have left things there and been extremely happy with the results, but he didn't. At the same time as the kit was being added a whole host of other styling additions were thrown into the mix to take the car to the next level. Up front there's an MStyle carbon fibre vented power dome bonnet, a full-length carbon front splitter, and #BMW M Performance gloss black kidney grilles. Then you've got the 1M door mirrors, a carbon boot spoiler and carbon fibre rear diffuser from #MStyle , plus LCI Darkline rear lights. These elements are all pretty subtle compared to the impact of the body kit but they definitely add the perfect finishing touches.
Originally, Sachin's 135i had been white but with its transformation to a wide-body monster it needed a fresh new look. "I'd decided I wanted a matt colour and was debating between black and grey," he says. You can see which choice won in the end, with the car now finished in stunning Frozen grey. It's a gorgeous colour that accentuates all of the car's lines and gives it an otherworldly look. In addition to the Frozen grey bodywork the roof has been painted gloss black, which offers a nice contrast. With the new body kit there was no way that the M Sport wheels that the car had come with would cut the mustard any longer, nor were they beefy enough to fill those fat arches, so the hunt was on for a new set of rims that would be up to the job. Those wheels are Forgestar F14s, forged 14-spoke affairs which are, usefully, available to order in some serious widths and with astonishingly deep concave designs. Indeed, the 9x19" fronts are labelled Deep Concave while the 11x19" rears are what Forgestar calls Super Deep Concave, and that's no exaggeration, the spokes disappearing deep within the wheel before they hit the centre. With a kit as wild and wide as this you really need to make sure your wheel choice won't be overwhelmed by those massive arches and that it is capable of delivering its own brand of wow. Well the Forgestars definitely deliver on that front.
With Sachin's styling plans accomplished, he decided to look at getting a bit more power out of the N54 as, while the 135i was quick, there was still a lot of untapped potential. And who better than MStyle to help tap it? As such, the engine has been fitted with a Mosselman MSL 500 turbo kit, Mosselman twin oil cooler kit and oil cooler separator. There's also an induction kit, uprated intercooler, uprated low pressure fuel pump, cat-less downpipes, a de-cat centre section with a custom quad exhaust system, and the whole lot is topped off with a Mosselman Stage 3 remap. The end result?
A dyno-proven 470hp with a thumping 480lb ft of torque, huge gains that deliver equally huge performance and really push what was once a humble 135i to the next level.
Up until this point Sachin was still riding on nothing more than the stock suspension with the only handling aids being those Eibach anti-roll bars, so that needed to change. MStyle recommended coilovers so he whipped his wallet out and opted for a set of BC Racing height and damping adjustable items with matching front camber adjustable pillow ball top mounts. "It rides and handles brilliantly now," says Sachin, "and there's so much grip it's actually scary!" He's has kept the standard callipers because they're pretty massive, with six-pots up front, but they've been given a lick of orange paint which really makes them stand out against the black wheels and grey bodywork.
Inside you'll find red leather, which looks equally good against the exterior, with carbon trim and a BMW M Performance gear knob, Alcantara gaiter, and matching Alcantara handbrake gaiter. Since the shoot Sachin has added an M Performance Alcantara steering wheel with shift lights and a digital display. He is now thinking about fitting a pair of M4 front seats, which would look awesome.
As we finish up our shoot, Sachin asks if I'd like to take the 135i it out for a spin. I grab the key off him with such ferocity he's lucky he's still got a hand left. The first impressions behind the wheel are defined by the stubby gear knob, UUC short-shift kit, and UUC Stage 2 multi-puck ceramic clutch.
It all feels a bit sharp and snatchy for someone who's just jumped in the car for the first time, so I'm gentle with the clutch and gear change and it's clear that you'd very quickly get used to the combination and drive it as smoothly as any other car. What a short-shift kit does do, though, is make you want to drive fast and rip through the gears – so that's exactly what I do. The performance is awesome! It's the torque that really gets you. There's so much of it spread over such a wide rev range that it's always there when you put your foot down. When you do the 135i just explodes forward. It's incredible and makes this car ridiculously rapid. It takes no effort to find yourself travelling far more quickly than you ever had any intention of doing. The mid-range is so astonishing that you find yourself shortshifting, which drops you right back into the torque plateau, but when the opportunity arises I keep the throttle pinned to get a taste of the top end and it doesn't disappoint. There's no let up in acceleration and the power just keeps on coming. When you tap into that heady top end the car feels ferocious and furious and it's addictive.
The ride is firm but compliant and the chassis feels taught and precise, the 135i cornering hard, fast and flat, while the brakes feel strong with plenty of feel through the pedal providing massive stopping power. Oh, and it sounds good, too. Really good. That fully-decatted exhaust really lets that straight-six sing. It's a great noise, the icing on a very fast cake indeed.
"I'm very happy with the car," grins Sachin as I hand back the keys, though perhaps that's why he's smiling. "It gets lots of attention. I'm actually surprised just how much. It's got the look I've always wanted and it's the car I've always wanted."
What Sachin's done is taken a good car and made it great, which is the ultimate modifying goal. And when the end result is as impressive as this, that's something you can be truly proud of.
Interior features carbon trim, a shortshift kit and red leather, which looks great against the grey exterior; orange brake calipers add a flash of colour.

Small Target Concept Store Coming Soon to Dallas Shopping Center
We hate spam too, we'll never share your email address
Dallas News writes that Target plans to open 130 small concept stores by the end of 2019 in areas where the usual size of the megastore simply wouldn't fit. At this time, they have already opened up 59 small stores that "range in size from a 19,600-square-foot store near the University of Cincinnati to 50,000-square-foot stores in East Palo Alto and Phoenix."
Now, WFAA writes that DFW residents will be welcoming a small concept store of their own in the Preston Center Pavilion in July. The store will employ 75 people and have items that are specifically chosen for the community's needs. Dallas News writes, "Groceries will be focused on fresh produce and grab-and-go items, snacks and meal solutions. The store will stock smaller selections of home décor, beauty, apparel and accessories, some consumer electronics, toys and sporting goods."
A pickup area for online purchases will also be available. Basically, customers can shop online and then stop by and grab the items they need that have already been collected by employees. Imagine only popping into Target for a few minutes!
If you're curious to see inside one of the smaller Target stores, check out this video from ABC15 Arizona of a location that opened this summer in Phoenix (though keep in mind, this is an example of one of the larger concept stores).

They just read. They don't get stressed about love triangles or care about the things that get us in a tizzy.

They just read. If they like something yay! If they don't they move on.

I keep wondering if blogging and reviewing is what ruins it for us. We start dissecting and notice things more. Plus, I read so much there will be repetition!

I think teen YA is amazing right now though! The stuff I have been reading is light years ahead of adult in terms of taking chances and diversity. It doesn't always pan out but I guess that's the risk of writing outside the box.

Up to a point...if one likes fantasy, for example, there's plenty of it in YA lately (though it usually does include romance). But love triangles and the likes are, indeed, the reason why so many people think YA is a bunch of trash (or a sub-par thing at least) and won't touch it with a ten-foot pole...Roberta R.https://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-32912124886318837212018-05-04T18:50:09.522-04:002018-05-04T18:50:09.522-04:00I've quit a few authors when they started chas...I've quit a few authors when they started chasing the trends instead of writing how they used to.

Hmmm....why doesn't this vampire book sell?

i dont' think any kind of book (or music or movie) actually goes out of style but if you gave a little more variety it could transcend trends.

Like for awhile there EVERY vampire YA/dystopian was a 3 book, love triangle. And they were almost all resolved int eh same ways.

First of all, the blogger things are spot on, it's so painfully obvious when an author/publisher deosn't read the blogger's policy, how hard can it be?!

Second of all, I hope the THG/Stranger Things/Love, Simon/Jumanji mashup is not a thing, please don't let anyone ever write such a thing, my brain is screaming right now.

And lastly, I totally agree with the trend but also, once something becomes a trend it also looses some of it's value, like Twilight, like Hunger Games or FSoG (not that they are all on the same level) but now every book with vampires, girl heroines or BDSM is categorized as THAT KIND OF BOOK and that is not okay, people are missing out on some great books just because they are marketed as THAT TYPE OF BOOK.Anonymoushttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-17462927703421979362018-05-03T10:51:04.890-04:002018-05-03T10:51:04.890-04:00I LOVE YOUR POINT about readers being able to read...I LOVE YOUR POINT about readers being able to read more than one type of book at a time.

The Cruel Prince is the only one I can think of that I caved on recently but I got it from the library.

It's a complicated issue for publishers and I get that but their stubbornness to say certain things don't sell is making them miss whole swaths of readers and breaking trends that self/small pubs are taking advantage of. Karenhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

Popularne fragmenty
Strona 787 - What conscience dictates to be done, Or warns me not to do, This, teach me more than hell to shun, That, more than Heaven pursue. What blessings Thy free bounty gives, Let me not cast away; For God is paid when man receives, T
Strona 648 - Before their eyes in sudden view appear The secrets of the hoary deep, a dark Illimitable ocean, without bound, Without dimension, where length, breadth, and height, And time, and place, are lost ; where eldest Night And Chaos, ancestors of nature, hold Eternal anarchy, amidst the noise Of endless wars, and by confusion stand.
Strona 655 - Saturn, quiet as a stone, Still as the silence round about his lair ; Forest on forest hung about his head Like cloud on cloud. No stir of air was there, Not so much life as on a summer's day Robs not one light seed from the feather'd grass, But where the dead leaf fell, there did it rest.
Strona 545 - Weep no more, woeful shepherds, weep no more, For Lycidas, your sorrow, is not dead, Sunk though he be beneath the watery floor. So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed, And yet anon repairs his drooping head, And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore Flames in the forehead of the morning sky...
Strona 592 - Works in the secret deep ; shoots steaming thence The fair profusion that o'erspreads the spring ; Flings from the sun direct the flaming day ; Feeds every creature ; hurls the tempest forth, And, as on earth this grateful change revolves, With transport touches all the springs of life. Nature, attend ! join, every living soul Beneath the spacious temple of the sky, In adoration join ; and ardent raise One general song ! To Him, ye vocal gales, Breathe soft, whose spirit in your freshness breathes.
Strona 647 - The other shape, If shape it might be call'd that shape had none Distinguishable in member, joint, or limb ; Or substance might be call'd that shadow seem'd, For each seem'd either: black it stood as night, Fierce as ten furies, terrible as Hell, And shook a dreadful dart ; what seem'd his head The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
Strona 787 - Teach me to feel another's woe, To hide the fault I see; That mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me.
Strona 837 - gainst that season comes Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, The bird of dawning singeth all night long : And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad; The nights are wholesome ; then no planets strike, No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
Strona 738 - All the images of Nature were still present to him, and he drew them, not laboriously, but luckily ; when he describes anything, you more than see it, you feel it too. Those who accuse him to have wanted learning, give him the greater commendation: he was naturally learned ; he needed not the spectacles of books to read Nature ; he looked inwards, and found her there.
Strona 645 - Nor was his name unheard or unadored In ancient Greece ; and in Ausonian land Men called him Mulciber ; and how he fell From heaven, they fabled, thrown by angry Jove Sheer o'er the crystal battlements : from morn To noon he fell, from noon to dewy eve, A summer's day ; and with the setting sun Dropt from the zenith like a falling star...
