Firmness Both mattresses offer different levels of mattress firmness from soft, medium, medium-firm, to firm. However, you will only get the Medium Hybrid firmness at Tempur-Pedic.

When the price is a big factor for you to consider, Novaform is the more affordable option over Tempur-Pedic.
Both mattresses offer different levels of mattress firmness from soft, medium, medium-firm, to firm. However, you will only get the Medium Hybrid firmness at Tempur-Pedic.
Novaform is a memory foam mattress company while Tempur-Pedic offers both memory foam and hybrid mattresses.
Novaform Mattress
- Hot sleepers who usually suffer from sweating a lot
- Back, side, and stomach sleepers who want a consistently cool mattress for additional comfort
- Anyone who wants a memory foam mattress at an affordable price
- Memory foam lovers with different firmness levels
- Sleepers who need extra support or additional pressure point relief
Mattress Construction
First thing's first, we will focus on Novaform'sSerafina Pearl firmness since this brand offers lots of mattresses. Besides, this is also the only mattress from Novaform that is available in different firmness levels. This 14 inches gel memory foam mattress contains different layers of foams to ensure its durable construction and longevity. The first layer is a 2-3 inches ComfortLuxe Gel-Pearl technology which keeps the mattress cool whenever necessary. Unlike regular memory foam mattresses, it can keep you at your ideal sleeping temperature all night with this technology. The second layer is 3 inches CustomWave Foam which provides a customized level of comfort and support. This is due to its ability to adapt and respond to your movements even if you're on your back, side, or stomach. At the same time, it ensures the mattress' breathability and proper airflow while you sleep. Now, the third layer is 8-9 inches support foam which provides therapeutic support and superior mattress stability. Instead of CustomWave Foam, the Plush version contains LURAcor Air Channel Foam which adds more softness to the top layer. This layer can also contour and respond individually to you and your partner's movement with unmatched support and weight distribution. The air channels are also designed to enhance its comfort level by maintaining the proper airflow through the mattress.
Pressure Point Relief and Proper Spinal Alignment
Of course, NovaformSerafina Pearl is topped with a quilted cover that is specifically tailored with intricate details. Its high-performance fabric gets rid of moisture to make sure that you feel cool and comfortable throughout the night. Also, all 3 layers of Serafina Pearl mattress work together to gently adapt to your body curves. This is where the magic of this gel-infused memory foam mattress works by relieving pressure points. While this mattress gives your joints a break, it also helps promote proper spinal alignment. Thus, you can sleep better without feeling pressure on your joints, neck, shoulders, back, hips, and knees. You can also avoid tossing and turning to wake up feeling more fresh and energetic.
Unlike TempurPedic mattresses, Serafine Pearl is available only in a couple of firmness levels from Soft, Medium, to Firm. Thus, this gives TempurPedic an advantage when it comes to offering more choices for firmness level. If you want a softer and more breathable mattress for a plush feel, we recommend the Soft version. But if you want a thicker layer of support foam for deeper support and superior stability, get the Firm version. For something in between, the Medium version is a must if you want to experience the "just right" feel. But if you're looking for a combination of foam layers and a coil layer, only TempurPedic can satisfy you with that. They got a hybrid mattress that combines the comfort and support level of foams and coils.
Tempur-Pedic Mattress
- Sleepers who want to sleep on a premium mattress
- Anyone who wants a wide range of memory foam and hybrid mattresses
- Sleepers who have existing back issues and need more back support
- Couples who need more edge support to avoid anyone falling out of bed
- Customers who are willing to invest in a pricey but durable mattress that can last for more than 5 years
ProAdapt Construction
Just like Novaform'sSerafina Pearl mattress, TempurPedic'sProAdapt Series contains multiple layers of foam. Its Medium version has a SmartClimate Dual Cover System which is a next-generation technology that features a zip-off enclosure. It has a cool outer layer and a stretchable inner layer to provide you with comfort and convenience. Its Original TEMPUR Comfort Layer is designed with advanced adaptability to provide a customized level of comfort and support.
Of course, its TEMPUR-APR Support Layer is made to ensure a deeper and more refreshing sleep. This is due to its most pressure-relieving material though it is 2 inches thinner than Novaform'sSerafina Pearl mattress. For the Soft version has TEMPUR-ES Comfort Layer instead of the Original TEMPUR Comfort Layer. This one provides a softer feel which works well with its other layers to increase its more relaxing support. For the Firm version, it has a TEMPUR-APR Comfort Layer for a more pressure relieving feeling and rejuvenating sleep. Its Support Layer is made from Original TEMPUR with premium quality to provide more flexible comfort and support. This is good for those who want the best of both worlds in a single mattress.
Medium Hybrid
This is the biggest advantage of TempurPedic over Novaform which focuses on memory foam mattresses only. This hybrid version of TEMPUR-ProAdapt combines the benefits of both foam and coil mattress. Just like the Soft version of Serafina Pearl, it has the SmartClimate Dual Cover System, TEMPUR-ES Comfort Layer, TEMPUR-APR Support Layer, and a Hybrid Technology. This Hybrid Technology consists of more than 1,000 spring coils with premium quality.
TempurPedic Support
Depending on the firmness level you prefer from the ProAdapt Series, the availability of size may vary. But when it comes with support, TempurPedic mattresses can provide more, especially on the edge support. Its memory foam can slowly soften under your body weight while it conforms to your body curves. This creates the sinking feeling just seconds after you lay your body on the mattress but not too much. If you want a premium mattress with more back and edge support, you might enjoy sleeping on a TempurPedic mattress. Just remember that not all Soft, Medium, Medium Hybrid, and Firm mattress feels the same for every sleeper. The Novaform's Soft Serafina Pearl mattress might be softer than TempurPedic'sProAdapt Series' Soft version. We can't decide that for customers so it is up to you to try both yourselves.
Regardless of the firmness level, you prefer for the NovaformSerafina Pearl mattress, you can only choose from 3 sizes. This includes the Queen, King, and California King. Depending on the size and firmness level, the price tag may range from $599.99 up to $949.99. Given that this mattress is 14 inches thick and made from high-quality foam materials, its price is still affordable. Meanwhile, TempurPedic's 12 inches ProAdapt series is available in more firmness levels including the Medium Hybrid version. At the same time, this series is available in more sizes. These include the Twin, Twin Long, Double, Queen, King, Split King, California King, and Split California King. Its price tag ranges from $2,499.00 up to $4,998.00 with Twin as the least price and the Split California King with the highest price. Both brands and models have a big difference in their prices as well. Despite offering thinner memory foam and hybrid options, TempurPedic mattresses are more expensive. TempurPedic also offers shorter warranty period which puts 10 years of limited warranty only on its mattresses. But, its return policy includes up to 90 days of night trial. On the other hand, Novaform mattresses have up to 20 years of limited warranty on all its mattresses. If you want a longer warranty, we'd say go for Novaform mattresses. But if you want a free and longer return policy, go for TempurPedic.
Memory foam is no doubt one of the most popular mattresses today in the market. It is softer and more versatile than the traditional innerspring mattress. But since there are already lots of memory foam mattresses out there, we know that it can be overwhelming. To help you reach your final verdict, we're here to give you some keys which can narrow down your route. First, how firm do you want your mattress to be? Both Novaform and TempurPedic offer Soft, Medium, and Firm mattresses. However, TempurPedic is the only one that offers a Medium Hybrid mattress. Second, do you want an additional layer for support? TempurPedic offers a hybrid mattress with combined the memory foam and coil springs. Third, do you sleep alone or with someone? If you sleep with someone or even with just your pet, you need more edge support which TempurPedic can offer. Fourth, do you want a mattress that retains a comfortable sleeping temperature all night? Novaform offers gel-infused memory foam mattresses that can keep you cool all night so they're also ideal for hot sleepers.

Creating your home gym can save you a lot of time and money. In one hand it will cut short the time you spend while commuting to the high-end gym and in the other, it saves you the outrageous subscription charges. Those, who are busy as beavers and yet looking to build that sexy booty should heed these below points:
Okay, first things first, to build your home gym, you will need a spare and spacious room. Obviously, I won't tell you to exhaust your money on buying treadmills or multigyms, duh! I will just give you the names of some simple things that will bring you equal benefits as a gym.
There is a wide array of workouts that you can do with dumbbells. You just need to use the resourceful internet for inspirations. This buy is completely justified, and I will suggest you add pairs of 1kg-6kg dumbbells. You are suggested to buy the hex shaped ones with black rubber coating which last long. As you gain more strength, you will need more weight to optimize their effects hence up to 6 kg is suggested.
I have a soft spot for kettlebells and I am unapologetic about it. However, there are many variations of kettlebell workouts that you can do with dumbbells but then the kettlebell movements are unique to say the least. The movements that are done with a kettlebell will be more challenging than doing with dumbbells, so I would suggest you invest on kettlebells.
Medicine ball:
Medicine balls are great for polymetric workouts and you can do some core strengthening workouts too with medicine balls. You will have a sea of workout options with medicine balls. You can throw, catch or carry a medicine ball given it is soft. Also, the beginners can do a lot of workouts at ease with a medicine ball because the medicine ball exercises emphasize speed and power.
Your home gym will not be complete without a Barbells. One of the essential workouts, deadlifts can't be done without Barbells. Also, Barbells bring stabilization and co-ordination aspects in your workouts. If you research a bit, Barbells should seem too expensive a buy.
Jump rope:
Jump ropes are infallible to tone your body to perfection. We all have used jump ropes to entertain ourselves as children. But then, this can work your co-ordination in a big way. There are durable ropes too for the beginners. You just need to brush up on your jumping skills and you are sorted for a fitter version of yourself.
Resistance bands:
These are the tiny but powerful stretchy tools that make every workout extra challenging. Also, there are many options in resistance bands to suit different resistance levels. You can work different muscle groups with different kinds of resistance bands.
If you are a craving for a killer sweat session and gym seems to drain all the energy off you, these pieces of equipment and enough space in your home might be extremely beneficial to build the perfect in-house gym.

Today we had a 1 hour chocolate tasting at work. Fabulous? Yes. Well...In theory. Except that it was at 4:00 and I was going out for happy hour oysters after work. Chocolate. Oysters. Two great tastes that do NOT taste great together!
What are happy hour oysters? Obviously they are $1 oysters that are served between 5 - 7 pm...or thereabouts. I'm not telling you where exactly because I don't want you to get in the way of my ordering! (I'm greedy like that.)
Too be honest, I thought about pretending that I had made a fabulous dinner tonight but...I can't do that. When I was walking home from the subway thinking about what the hell I was going to write about, (listening to the live Radiohead album I Might Be Wrong) in the middle of "True Love Waits," Thom Yorke's voice cracks. Subtly. In a kind of cheesy parallel, I realized that it doesn't really matter if I cook every day and have a perfect occasion to write about. Tonight's perfect occasion revolved around NOT cooking and NOT writing a recipe. So there. Just eat oysters and chocolate. And listen to Radiohead. You don't have to cook. Who cares? Except...I'll be back tomorrow. With a recipe.

Our proof is an answer by "ayatullah" Abtahi, in his website's Arabic section, on a question by a Shia girl (translation below):
After our brothers in the Muslim (Sunni) forum "Defending the Sunnah" brought this scandal to light, the Abtahi website first changed his answer, then omitted the question, and then totally pulled down the entire website from cyberspace (to a no return inshallah)!!!!! That only proves how scared they are from their truth being known to the world, particularly their ignorant followers!!!! You can see in what they did the level of shame and embarassment he (who issued that 'fatwa' supposedly) and those working on his website felt after the real Muslims (Sunnis) exposed their Shia filth to the world!!!! We have proofs on the changes that were made to his website before it was completely shut down, and we'll present them soon inshallah).
Shameless, cowards indeed!!! They couldn't even defend the 'fatwa'???
We'll show you soon the origin of this crime from a major classical Shia book (regrettably it's a narration they attribute to one of Ahlulbayt's pure imams, -who is innocent from their filth like was the wolf from Prophet Yusuf's blood-, and that FABRICATED narration was 'starring' both the noble, pure Prophet of Allah, the Master of Mankind, Muhammad ibn Abdullah -may Allah's peace & blessings be uopn him and his pure Household- and his daughter Fatimah!!!! YOU CAN SEE THE SCANNED PAGE FROM THAT BOOK, in Arabic, THAT FILTHY ALLEGATION THAT THE PROPHET USED TO KISS HIS DAUGHTER BETWEEN HER BREASTS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP!!!!!) --of course we'll provide a full reference to that narration and book!!!!
Now read the Shia girl's question to him, then his answer (the original answer, thanks to the "print screen" button on keyboards that allowed us to keep a screenshot of his website), and Allah is our Witness that we are saying only the truth, that we wouldn't accuse someone of something he didn't do!!! That would be the way of the weak, the one who can't refute his opponent but with such low, wicked ways; but we don't need to resort to these ways, as the proofs on the filth Shi'ism is are more than enough!!!!
I tried to make the translation as literal as possible (so that no one can accuse us of changing words or meanings):
I'm a girl aged 15 years, my father is very religious, and I wear full hijab outside, and alhamdulillah (for that), but my father kisses me very often between my breasts or in my mouth or comes from behind me and hugs me and kisses me on my neck, so I tell him: 'are those actions not haram?' then he tells me: 'they are haram if (done) with lust, but I do this to you with fatherly passion, and the Messenger Muhammad used to kiss his daughter, sayyidah Fatimah, on her neck and between her breasts and on her mouth and suck her tongue, so...did the Messenger fall into indecency with his daughter??? No! And if the Messenger did that then this is a permission for any father to do that with his daughter!' [The girl proceeds:] And then he [her father] tells me: 'I don't touch the awrah, which is the front and the back private part, and all that's not an 'awrah' we're allowed to see, touch, or kiss', and [the girl proceeds] he (says that) he does that too out of worry over me from getting lured by young men, (saying) [i.e,. her father] that the girl who surrenders herself to any young man is one deprived of the feelings of love and tenderness at home, so....[and now she's asking Ayatullah Abtahi] is what my father doing with me halal or haram? And if it's haram, how was the Messenger doing that with his daughter sayyidah Fatimah al-Zahraa'? And Thank you on this useful website.
Answer [pay attention to its LENGTH]:
And may Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you. What your father's doing is allowed provided that he abides by what he told you; and that's in his heart, don't think ill of him. And you're welcome."
Just look at his answer, though!!! Almost one third of it (looking at the English translation) is the Islamic greeting!!! A WHOLE ONE THIRD!!!! What a waste of the poor girl's time who was probably reading his answer while her filthy dad was coming near her for another....., so instead of writing in his first line an urgent warning from falling for her dad's trick, Abtahi is relaaaaxed and is indifferent to this poor girl's perplexity and suffering at her father's hands!!!!!
And what is "you're welcome" supposed to mean here, huh???? Welcome in Abtahi's arms after your dad is done???
I think we do wrong when we focus on the mut'ah the Shia are sunk in at the expense of the steady steps they're walk toward incest!!!!!!!!
They just don't like to be but BASTARDS, it seems!!!!

Twenty-four alleged child predators from across New Jersey – including a police officer who headed a county SWAT team – were arrested in a statewide bust known as "Operation Open House," authorities announced on Tuesday.
The multi-agency undercover operation targeted men who allegedly were using social media in an attempt to lure underage girls and boys for sexual activity, according to a release from the Office of Attorney General.
The underage "children" were, in fact, undercover officers, according to authorities. Most of the defendants were arrested when they arrived at a house in Toms River, where they allegedly expected to find their victim home alone.
"It is a frightening reality that sexual predators are lurking on social media, ready to strike if they find a child who is vulnerable," said Attorney General Grewal. "To counter that threat, we are working collaboratively and aggressively across all levels of law enforcement to apprehend these sex offenders. We want child predators to know that we are on social media too – and the child they target may be the undercover officer who puts them in handcuffs. That is the message of Operation Open House."
"We have no higher priority than protecting children, and we will remain steadfast in our pursuit of those who seek to victimize them," said Director Veronica Allende of the Division of Criminal Justice. "Operation Open House is a great example of how law enforcement agencies work best when they work together. I commend our partners on the ICAC Task Force, particularly the State Police and Ocean County Prosecutor's Office, who coordinated this operation with the Division of Criminal Justice."
"It is disturbing that some of the alleged child predators from this operation held positions of public service and authority, but behind closed doors they went through great lengths to avoid detection online, frequenting social media sites with the sole purpose of targeting unsuspecting children," said Colonel Patrick Callahan of the New Jersey State Police. "Our troopers and partners on the ICAC Task Force are unfazed by the outward appearances of sex offenders and will continue to turn the tables on predators by luring them out of hiding and bringing them to justice. These arrests serve as a sobering reminder that parents should closely monitor their child's online activity."

Places to Visit in US : Travel Tips and Advice from Trendy Lifestyle
There is never a poor time to visit with the USA. Broad, A huge state nearly 3,000 jigsaws of 50 different states, five territories and the District of Columbia, America is a destination that will consistently please and thrill, whatever the four-digit number at the top of the calendar. But dash 2016 and alive with political intrigue, grand openings, athletic delight and major anniversaries – is showing an especially opportune year to get a jump over the Atlantic. For help & these 10 fascinating motives;
1 Sprint for the White House:
There is an additional fizz to the USA when its top job will be pursued; a ballyhoo which runs from Television chat shows to coffee shop discussions as presidential nominees make their claim. Why don't you take a ringside seat? Washington, DC is not only the perfect location to investigate & the USA;s presidential history, it is also home to the world' the Smithsonian, s largest museum and research complex.
Don't overlook its latest addition, the much-anticipated National Museum of African American History and Culture, that opens and has been 13 years in the planning on 24 Sept.
2 100th birthday that is large:
25 August marks the centenary of the development of the USA's National Park Service – the body which looks after 411 critical pieces of the American landscape, including 59 national parks this summer. The anniversary will soon be saluted via parties and special occasions – as well as the celebration, could have additional pep at Lassen Volcanic National Park, in northeastern California, which likewise turns 100 in August.
3 Come to the ball:
That's a year of American centenaries. The Copa America, the world's earliest international soccer tournament, was also founded in 1916 and can want itself many happy returns through the Copa America Centenario. This one off ceremonial tournament will see 16 teams – including Brazil and Argentina, as well as the United States – do conflict at 10 arenas all over the country (from Boston in the east to Santa Clara in California).
4 Hail Caesar:
Vegas believes in growing old disgracefully, so there'll be two this year or an angry head as 50 turns.
Caesars Palace (preceding) started in 1966 as a heady take on Ancient Rome and has lost none of its discharge since – though it is gotten a $75million (£52million) makeover in time because of its half-centenary anyhow.
5 Heads bowed in Hawaii:
A somewhat more somber anniversary will slot into position on 7 December – a critical date, 75 years on from the Japanese air attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 which dragged the USA into world war II.
This terrible day will be eulogised most pertinently at the sailors USS Arizona Memorial, the submerged grave of 1,102.But while all memories will undoubtedly be tinged with despair, the ship's setting – Honolulu, on the isle of Oahu – is a reminder that Hawaii (previously) is an excellent destination.
6 Blue is the color
Apr seen the opening of a brand new museum dedicated to the most American of music genres. The bass-heavy beats of the Blues emerged from the Deep South in the late nineteenth century, and the National Blues Museum, in the Missouri city of St Louis, points a hat to the masters who shaped the art form – BB King, John Lee Hooker, Charley Patton, Muddy Waters – in a number of interactive displays.
7 Have your fill of Philly
Pennsylvania's largest metropolis tends to dwell in the darkness of NY with regards to tourism. But Philadelphia trumped the Big Apple last Nov when it had been named the USA's first Unesco World Heritage City, in acknowledgment of its own groove inside the state's story – Independence Hall, at its heart, was the site where the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and US Constitution in 1787 were embraced. This can be an excellent year to fall upon a location that has much to offer.
8 Going green beyond Manhattan
Never to be outdone, the Big Apple (below) includes a birthday of its own in 2016 – the NY Botanical Garden turns 125.
Pitched in the Bronx (the most northerly of the well-known five boroughs), this leafy space, set up in Apr 1891, offers a variation on life inside the city far removed from the crowds of Times Square and can appreciate its year in events which vary from tea parties and picnics to art exhibitions.
9 Harry goes to Hollywood
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was a colossal success as it opened in 2010 in the Universal Orlando Resort in Florida. As of Apr, JK Rowling' s charming character is a star in LA, at Universal Studios Hollywood. The seven books can happen to be read as well as the last movie viewed 100 times, but new stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child opens in London this summer, to be followed by publication of the scripts, so he shows no indication of retiring from view.
10 Valued isle:
The US is awash with tempting beverage and food at any moment, but 2016 is a prime year to visit among its offshore gemstone. The Nantucket Wine Festival, scheduled for 18-22 May, will be the twentieth version of this increasingly popular fiesta – a haze of supple vintages and soft cheeses, all held on the idyllic island which lies off the low coast of Massachusetts, 100 miles south of Boston.

Champagne is a beverage for celebrating special occasions and the Christmas and New Year's holidays are certainly special occasions for most people in the Cayman Islands. The wine professionals from Jacques Scott talked about six Champagnes in the company's portfolio over lunch at the Grand Old House.
For most of those who enjoy fine wine and food, there's a good chance that sometime during the month of December, they'll drink Champagne.
Champagne not only serves as a great accompaniment to any holiday dinner or cocktail party, it makes for an always welcome gift for those who enjoy alcoholic beverages. Although giving most wines as a gift can be risky if you don't know the recipient's tastes well, Champagne will generally bring a smile to the face of almost any wine drinker.
Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits carries a large portfolio of Champagnes, and three of its wine professionals – Lee Royle, Sergio Serrano and Sarah Howard – talked about what they liked best about six Champagnes the company sells.
Getting started
The enjoyment of Champagne doesn't necessarily come with the first sip for those new to the beverage. Part of the reason is the unique method used to make Champagne. After the initial fermentation and bottling, more yeast and sugar are added to the bottle to create secondary fermentation, the process whereby Champagne gets its famous bubbles. Because the finished product spends more time in the presence of yeast, many Champagnes tend to have aromas of freshly baked bread or brioche, something those who haven't drunk much of the beverage might find unpleasant.
However, because production methods vary, different Champagnes have different characteristics and not all of them display the strong yeasty aromas that bubbly lovers learn to adore. Once such Champagne is G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge (Retail: $60.99). Instead of strong aromas of baked bread or brioche, Mumm displays citrus and stone fruit aromas.
"For novices… it's a good introduction into Champagne," says Royle.
"It's perfect for the Prosecco drinkers," says Howard.
With its light and refreshing style, Mumm Cordon Rouge would pair well with smoked salmon and citrusy seafood dishes like ceviche.
"It would make a good breakfast Champagne," Royle notes.
When red is white
Most people know that red grapes are used to make red wines. They might assume then that white grapes are used to make white wines. However, this isn't always the case because all grape juice is white. Red wines get their color from having the juice stay in contact with the red grape skins in a process called maceration. Without that process, red grapes would produce white wines, which is exactly the case with Champagne.
Most Champagnes are a blend of two or three grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the latter two of which are dark grapes. Taittinger Brut Reserve [Retail: $58.99] is just one of many examples of a blend of these grapes producing a brilliant, golden-yellow Champagne.
Taittinger is Jacques Scott's workhorse Champagne, outselling all others. It is a versatile, well-balanced Champagne that has just the right amount of bubbles, just the right amount of brioche aromas and just the right amount of fruit flavors on the palate.
"What's not to love?" asks Howard. "For a Champagne under $60, it shows incredible balance and it could rival a Champagne at double the price."
Taittinger would be at home on a table for any meal from brunch through dinner.
What's in a name?
All Champagne is sparkling wine, but not all sparkling wine is Champagne. The only true Champagne comes from a specific region in northeastern France called, unsurprisingly, Champagne.
What differentiates Champagne from other sparkling wines, and what makes it such a sought after beverage, is terroir – the unique combination of climate, altitude and soil conditions that give the grapes grown in Champagne special characteristics. Located in northeastern France, Champagne's cooler temperatures hinder ripening of grapes grown there. Instead of becoming overly fruity, the grapes grown in the region have higher acidity, a definitive trait of Champagne.
There are more than 100 Champagne houses in France, some widely known, some less so. One that is perhaps less so – even though it has been producing fine Champagne for more than 200 years – is Henriot, the newest addition to Jacques Scott's portfolio of Champagnes.
Like the Mumm Cordon Rouge, the Henriot Brut Souverain [Retail: $61.99] is a lighter style of Champagne, exhibiting refreshing fruit flavors and tangy acidity.
"If Mumm is a breakfast Champagne, then this is a lunch Champagne," says Royle.
Good enough for 007
The favorite Champagne of fictional super spy James Bond is Bollinger. Fictional or not, James Bond has good taste because when it comes to non-vintage Champagnes, Bollinger Special Cuvee [Retail: $74.99] is at the top of many critics' lists.
The Bollinger blend is driven by Pinot Noir – it's 60 percent Pinot Noir, 25 percent Chardonnay and 15 percent Pinot Meunier – giving it more body and structure than many other non-vintage Champagnes. "Bollinger is a classic Champagne," says Royle. "It's the epitome of elegance and grace."
The full-bodied Bollinger can pair with heavier foods, such as Grand Old House's grilled scallops and shrimp skewer. Royle noted that Champagne actually pairs with many foods at the dinner table.
"It's the go-to wine for pairings," he said. "When in doubt, throw Champagne at it."
A good year
Most Champagnes produced are non-vintage, which in practice means they contain Champagne made from multiple vintages. This allows Champagne brands to retain consistency from year to year without exhibiting the vintage variations caused by climate conditions, something common in still wines.
However, many Champagne houses also produce vintage champagnes that are made from grapes grown from a single season. In addition, vintage Champagnes lie on their lees – or spent yeast cells – for longer than regular Champagnes. The result is a more flavorful and complex Champagne, one that can improve with many years of aging.
Usually, vintage Champagnes carry price tags north of $100, but not in all cases. Louis Roederer Vintage 2005 [Retail: $67.99] is an excellent choice for someone who would like to experience vintage Champagne without its usual cost. Vintage Roederer is another Pinot Noir-driven Champagne that is made from 70 percent Pinot Noir and 30 percent Chardonnay. The result is an elegant and powerful Champagne that can pair with a variety of foods and is perfect at the dinner table.
Color for Christmas
As good as Champagne is on any holiday table, Christmas demands color and Rosé Champagne is perfect on Christmas Day.
Rosé Champagne gets its color from allowing the skins of the red grapes Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier to remain in contact with the juice for a brief time. In addition to adding color, this process imparts some red fruit aromas and flavors more associated with red wines. The result is a Champagne that pairs fantastically with the variety of foods typically found on a holiday dinner table, including fruit-based desserts.
Billecart-Salmon Brut Rosé [Retail: $92.99] is an elegant example of a Rosé Champagne that is not only good for the holidays, but it's good for romance.
"This is a wine that you seduce someone with," says Howard. "I think Rosé Champagnes, especially this one, have such an amazing balance of complexity and delicateness.

We often say strange things without being conscious of them. Here are seven phrases that you should not use in your presentation:
- "Going forward". Just what the heck does that mean? Is it the opposite of "going backwards"? Instead of saying:"I think the market is going to crash going forward", why not try "I think the market is going to crash."
- "Quite frankly". I used to have a boss who would use this phrase every time just before he told a lie. It was a dead giveaway.
- "To be honest with you". Gee…I am glad you have decided to be honest with me. Thanks. So what you don't say this again, does it mean you are not being honest with me?
- "At the end of the day". You really mean to say "finally", right?
- "Uniquely qualified". No one is really uniquely qualified to do anything.
- "Full service firm". There is no such thing. No one firm can do everything. Not even Wal-Mart.
- "My friend". Unless you have been living under a rock, I bet you heard this repeatedly during the last presidential election. Stop already! I am not your friend. You don't even know me.
Let me know if you have more of these. I know you do. So post a comment!

It is generally believed that good education has the power to change lives, empower people and create opportunities. Equally, a lack of education can dis-empower those who need the opportunity the most and can lead to extreme poverty spanning generations.
When a humanitarian crisis leads to a subsequent refugee crisis in most cases, there is massive disruption to children's education and the likelihood of disadvantage multiplies. For refugees, education is not only a fundamental right; it is one of the most valuable assets to have. There is therefore need to find ways to increase their access to education and jobs so that they can better support themselves. Ensuring Persons of Concern have adequate access to services such as primary, secondary/tertiary education or vocational training throughout their period of displacement contributes to finding solutions in the long-term and better equips them for their eventual return home if they so choose.
It is for this reason that UNHCR Ghana and Partners are working passionately in the area of education by adopting innovative and creative ways to ensure Persons of Concern are able to get themselves back on their feet. This the Representation has done through several projects at the refugee camps in Ghana.
ICT Center with free Wi-Fi for refugees and host community members in Ampain
With access to free and reliable internet, the opportunities for self-development are limitless. In 2017, UNHCR in partnership with Intelsat built an ICT Center (Smart Wi-Fi Kiosk) in the Ampain Camp which hosts the largest refugee population in Ghana. The center, equipped with laptops, desktops and tablets, aims at serving both the refugee community and members of the host community. The following are impressions by some beneficiaries of the ICT center:
For 45 year old Ivorian refugee, Hama Virginie, it is never late to learn. Previously a banker in Cote D'Ivoire, she is taking advantage of the facility to access the online learning platform 'Coursera' where she has already completed several courses and acquired certificates. "I have plans of becoming an entrepreneur so I have been focusing on trainings in the area of business development and how to manage a business. Hopefully when I'm done, I'll be able to use the knowledge and skills I've acquired to achieve my dream. I wouldn't know how life in the camp would have been like without this ICT Center" she said with glee.
David Kohen, 31, is a Person of Concern (POC) in the camp. According to him the center is a platform for education, social interaction and entertainment. As a graphic designer, he says he has already completed over 30 courses via the 'Coursera' online learning platform including courses such as English, programming and html. He says the center has given him the opportunity to enlist as a translator with 'Translators without Borders'. He is also registered as a UN online volunteer where he is able to make his services available to people in every part of the world. He says life in the camp would have been extremely difficult without the ICT Center.
Toni Gnonso, 28 enjoys connecting with his family and friends in Cote d'Ivoire and other parts of the world. He is also able to monitor news from his country which updates him on issues at the click of a button in the camp. Toni currently works as a mason. He says on days when there is no work available, the ICT center is a safe haven for him. "Life in the camp would have been very boring if we didn't have this ICT center" says Toni.
An ICT Center for Fetentaa Camp is currently under construction and (if donor support is received for internet connection) it is expected that the lives of more refugees and host community members will be positively impacted by the project
Teach To Reach Remote Classrooms project
A major challenge in the camp schools had been the limited number of textbooks and lack of the use of modern methods of teaching, that is, making teaching and learning fun, activity based and child-centered. This affected the pace at which children were expected to grasp lessons causing some to lose interest in school. In an effort to address this, UNHCR Ghana partnered a British not-for-profit organization, the Varkey Foundation, to introduce the Teach To Reach Remote Classroom project. This is an innovative project which targets students in schools in remote areas. Piloted in 2017, the project which is in its second phase has now been extended to Egyeikrom refugee camp. About 370 pupils (made up of refugee and host community children) mainly from primary three to primary six are beneficiaries.
Experienced trainers at studios in Accra broadcast lessons to technologically-enabled classrooms in the camps which allows students to speak with studio teachers and ask questions which are answered in real time. As an interactive and distance learning module, this method helps improve the educational experience of refugee children and gives them foundational skills in English and mathematics. Feedback from most teachers, both in Egyeikrom and Ampain Camps as well as academic records show improvement in the academic performance of the children. Teachers say the children have demonstrated understanding through their responses to questions posed by teachers from the lessons. The teachers also indicated that using the Varkey Foundation's strategies in their teaching such as starter activities, pair work, group work, peer learning and no corporal punishment during lessons has helped a great deal.
There are also after school life skill sessions for both girls and boys known as 'Wonder Women' and 'Boys Boys' clubs respectively which teaches the pupils about personal hygiene and teenage pregnancy amongst others. This is also proving very helpful for both boys and girls.
Osman Esoun Assana has been teaching in the Ampain Camp School for the past 3 years. She's one of the facilitators for the online classes who coordinates with the online teachers and monitors the work of the children both during and after the online classroom sessions. She says attendance rates for pupils in her class have improved as the children are very excited about the method of teaching. As children from other schools are also connected at the same time, the lessons tend to be more interactive and active. Children are also doing better in terms of reading and pronunciation she indicated.
"I enjoy coming to school because they use ICT to teach us and we see the teachers on the video. I like the class"- Kan Moise a class 6 pupil.
E-reader project with Worldreader
UNHCR partnered Worldreader, an American based non-profit organization that provides people in the developing world with free access to a library of digital books via e-readers with pre-installed storybooks and textbooks selected by schools. This is in an effort to help children learn how to read, use those reading skills to enhance their performance in school and generally help children develop a love for reading. The Worldreader project was started in Egyeikrom and Krisan camps. Since the introduction of the projects, there have been significant improvement in the academic performance of children. According to the Ghana Education Service circuit supervisor for Ayensudo, Mr. Gibson Ofori-Owusu, the performance of the children in the Egyeikrom Camp School has significantly improved. He says the school has become one of the top schools in the municipality and more host community members are enrolling their wards in the camp school because of their performance.
UNHCR Representation in Ghana has been adjudged winners of the 2017 UNHCR Team Award for Achievements in Innovation. The Team in Ghana has made significant advances in providing access to education and gr eater connectivity for refugees and host communities. The citation reads "the team brought technology to the classroom and overcame challenges related to age and language barriers between refugee and host communities. With the establishment of an ICT Centre, the team and its partners demonstrated the critical role of education in the protection of refugees and the link between small-scale but sustainable investment with increased school enrollment, as well as the relationship between education, employment and livelihood opportunities".
Ghana is currently hosting about 13,000 refugees and asylum seekers with approximately 50% of them living in 4 refugee camps in the Western, Central and Brong Ahafo Regions of Ghana

Final design set to start, new video animation
Board action and approval
On Thursday, November 19, the Sound Transit Board of Directors approved the project and budget to move into the final design phase which is scheduled to start early next year. During the final design phase of the project, engineering and design work will be advanced on the trackway, stations, train control systems, and public art. At key design milestones, Sound Transit will engage with the public and project partners for input on a variety of project aspects including station designs and construction details.
New video animation
Final design work will focus on the final route and stations identified by the Board earlier this year. A new video animation of the final route and stations is posted online here.
Property acquisitions approved
A limited number of property acquisitions were approved by the Board at their meeting on 11/19. After all the affected property owners were notified, the Board approved this first round of acquisitions since the acquisition requirements for these parcels will not change as the plans advance during final design. For some property owners, this action responds to their requests to be considered for acquisition as early as possible and for others it brings some certainty to the timing of the process.
Another round of acquisitions is expected to be approved by the Board around the middle of next year and after designs have progressed far enough for confirmation of the acquisition needs. A final round of acquisitions will need about 60% of final design to be completed before they can be authorized.
Schedule overview 2016-2023
Early 2016 – Final design begins
Mid 2016 – Station design public meetings start
Mid 2016/2017 – Additional property acquisition confirmed, property owners notified
2018 – Construction begins
Late 2023 – Open for service

|Homeworlds Aplenty?
Typically that is followed with "we have billions of years, so stop worrying."
It is as if there is only one way to think ahead.
Which is to worry about something that might happen in the future, rather than detailing all of the moving parts, all of the issues, then make that future a relevant part of now in an uplifting, competent way that adds a sense of long-term accomplishment to civilization and life.
Otherwise, the type of approach which results is actually denial posing as an efficient grasp of time, summed up by the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy", as if that is the proper frame for those two issues.
The reality is that a sound mind, at the species level, i.e., at the level that considers what must be done for species to survive into the distant future, is both a mental, emotional, and spiritual food stock for the personal altruism that ensures longer lasting health.
Anyway, here is the text of a post from this date in 2009:
The eye in the sky (Hubble Telescope) has been given more time to take a look "out there".
Look for what?
Since our science declares that our star, The Sun, will destroy us some time in the future, we must look for another home planet.
By "our" of course I mean the human race (the human species) if you will.
Our science, specifically our physics, does not tell us how to move matter at the speed of light ('c' in the equation e=mc²) in any realistic way.
When we talk about the speed of light we are talking about photons. But we must travel at that velocity, at a minimum, to effectively find a new home.
At that speed it would take four years to reach the nearest star, then 4 more years to return after staying a while.
But there is no habitable planet there.
We have the Kepler mission looking for potentially habitable planets, which are hundreds and thousands of years away, at the speed of light.
It will take perhaps thousands of years to learn the physics of that kind of space travel, after we develop that new physics which does not yet exist.
The bottom line is that we must stop being a hostile species, hostile to each other, hostile to our own home world, and hostile to the notion of what we must do to avoid a catastrophic death.
A very recent discovery indicates that we may not have an unimaginable amount of time before our Sun becomes the death of our planet by removing it from existence.
Another discovery shows a very large and well known red giant, Betelgeuse, is shrinking for an unknown reason.
"Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Remember that suicide is what individuals do, while Ecocide on a planetary scale (mass extinction) is what groups do.

What It's Like To Ruin A Mercedes - Dapper Drift Episode 7
Imagine taking an angle grinder and a drill to a perfectly good fender. That's what it took to flare the fenders of the E55 AMG Drift Machine in the latest episode of Dapper Drift.
There's something about a widebody kit that just kind of...works. Sure, there are bad examples of this out there in the automotive world, but a subtle, tasteful fender flare, especially when the car is black on black, gives it that extra bit of character.
And that's exactly what Denis Ivanov, FCP Euro's in-house developer and resident drift expert, did to his 2003 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG—except he did the home-brewed version, hacking his fender with shop tools and some painter's tape.
In our ongoing video series, Dapper Drift, we follow Denis as he turns this run-of-the-mill E55 AMG into one of the coolest and most unique (and functional!) drift cars ever built.
Check out episode seven below, and don't forget to subscribe to get all the new episodes pushed to your inbox.


text: [Pb]Cybermat47 1323 Posted February 26, 2018 I don't think I understand your comment. If you mean complaints about "Erich Hartmanns", who practice the art of booming and zooming, please realize that this complaint primarily comes from the guys flying Luftwaffe low-level attack aircraft who are getting pissed off that the fighters are not coming down from 6000 meters to protect them. I don't see the term used much when flying VVS side, by VVS pilots, because there is an obvious understanding that competent German pilots are going to use the advantages of their planes. It's just the way it is. True, but the fighters are there for two reasons - protecting bombers and ground targets. And if ground targets are under attack, it's probably by low-flying Sturmoviks. And a 109 at 6000m isn't much help against a Sturmovik at 20m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Composting confusion rampant in UW waste bins, study finds
A study of waste bins at the University of Washington's Seattle campus revealed that 88 percent of the contents in trash bins could have been recycled or composted. Most – 72 percent – of what didn't belong in trash bins turned out to be compostable items, such as food, carry-out containers and paper coffee cups.

Prada is launching a cheap(er) line of cotton bags this June. The collection of lightweight canvas bags are embellished with select prints from the Prada archive and will retail for $295 (yep, $300 bucks for a yard of cotton) in select Prada boutiques.
Blog Comments
I can appreciate that they are trying to be more affordable, but really, $295? For the same price (or less), you could get a nice LEATHER bag at stores like Off 5th, T.J. Maxx, etc. Sorry Prada, but I think I'll be saving my money.
Oh please, you've got to be kidding???????
My thoughts exactly, Sara!
I think this is absolutely ridiculous… why pay that much for a fabric tote, when for $295 you could get a leather bag from great designers like Michael Kors, Kate Spade or Marc Jacobs!!!

Oh yes, I turned 50! My first indication that I was going to be celebrating a milestone birthday was getting an "invitation" in the mail to join AARP. They are sure Johnny On The Spot with that aren't they???
And wouldn't you know – we forgot the camera! Fortunately all our phones have cameras, so we weren't totally in the dark.
We celebrated in the manner I love more than anything – with my family! I chose Cracker Barrel as the restaurant of choice and Keith came home with a balloon bouquet, which I loved!!! We got a LOT of looks from other customers when we set up all the stuff at the table.
This picture shows the tiara, lei and buttons that he also got for me. The tiara says Birthday Queen and I love it!!! He also brought pointed head birthday hats for everybody to wear – you can see little Brooklyn looking at me wearing hers.
This flower and awesome little vase was from my daughter – isn't it unique? I love it!
Our waiter took a group photo and even though it's pretty out of focus I still love it. So much love sitting at this table right here!
Having never celebrated a birthday at Cracker Barrel I didn't realize what they would do, but I did get the birthday song from the wait staff (and Brooklyn loved that!). Our waiter kept saying over and over that I was celebrating my 29th birthday and I kept correcting him and saying no, I'm 50 today. I guess I'm not one of those that has to pretend about age – I'm happy about all my 50 years!!!
By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves. - Marie Dressler
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming... suddenly you find - at the age of 50, say - that a whole new life has opened before you. - Agatha Christie
50 years: here's a time when you have to separate yourself from what other people expect of you, and do what you love. Because if you find yourself 50 years old and you aren't doing what you love, then what's the point? - Jim Carrey
The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Muhammad Ali

Check out the compilation of nonsense at: Enneagram Institute
At least they don't claim it is ancient wisdom. The blame it all on Oscar Ichazo, who was involved in a lawsuit on the question.
We can then ignore this as a sideshow (and delusive ripoff) and consider the question of Gurdjieff and the enneagram. As to types, I think this area of his teaching was a weak spot in the sense that he overcrystallized the claims for 'types' (they don't really exist in any rigorous sense) and 'chief feature'. You can see how he fudged around the question of astrology here, probably making it up as he went along, wary of any direct correlation, eager to produce his own version (and never reveal it).
As to the enneagram itself, it is cleverly presented you can't refute what is suggested to be non-public. This evasion is suspicious.
Gurdjieff obviously didn't intend to teach anything about the enneagram, instead making it a point of mesmerization with respect to something not referred to directly ('esoteric'), preempting exposure or falsification.
These people at the enneagram institute aren't so clever. Put it in writing, and the result is….vomitatious.

N&N Festival: Wild Longings at The Plantation Garden was a delight
PUBLISHED: 13:08 12 May 2019 | UPDATED: 12:55 03 June 2019
The Norfolk & Norwich Festival opens on fine form. This collection of horticultural musings and quiet cabaret is a delight.
Ever wondered what note bees sing to gentian flowers when they want to pollinate them? How to finally conquer invasive Japanese knot weed? Well, this garden tour offers some surprising answers.
As we meander from bridge to lawn and clamber up the sweet smelling hillsides, there are mysteries to solve and stories to uncover.
Some relate to the place itself. This garden was once a chalk and flint quarry. It was reclaimed by business man Henry Trevor in the mid 1800's. His design, a mixture of Italianate splendour and Gothic folly, created the plot as we now see it.
You may also want to watch:
The tranquil setting has a power all its own. With the dulcet tones of Helen Paris teasing the audience into a state of trance, childhood memories flood back. It's only a matter of time before the garden inspires the performers to reveal their own wild experiences.
Small scale anecdotes give way to epic histories. Stories of midwives swapping cuttings lead on to Leslie Hill's tales of the vast wastes of America and the catastrophic years of the Dust Bowl. We hear how her family endured the lethal whirlwinds that flung soil two miles high, and mourn her ancestors who succumbed to 'dirt pneumonia'.
Ecological disasters, tipping points and transitions teeter around the edges of this entertaining interlude, but never become its focus.
Instead as the afternoon ends in cabaret fashion, we are asked to sing an anthem of hope. It's a pledge to re-wild this country with every plant we choose and to 'grow plants on buses, in shopping bags and shoes!'
A final tasty touch is the freshly foraged food, elegantly served on wooden platters.
We ate the pernicious Japanese knot weed, and rounded off the tea-time treat with guitar player Olly Cherer and singer Claudia Barton. They helped us to charm the gentian, bee-style with a buzzing middle C.

"An architectural object lived in by an almost ergonomically organic handle". These are the words that Ludovica+Roberto Palomba use to describe HIM, the latest mixers' collection designed for Zucchetti. The designers' research started with the intention to create a radical object, a geometry from which water springs with all its energy. The idea developed in the direction of less is more, following essential use of material, formal expression of function. The outcome of this architectural genesis is a light, absolute product, in harmony with an evolution in the washbasin area towards slender, geometric solutions.
The distinguishing feature of this collection, thought up and interpreted for the whole bathroom, is the compact, streamlined design of the flat spout with cascade jet. The Zucchetti patented concealed cartridge made it possible to reduce to a minimum the volume of the mixer body, building the cartridge itself underneath the ceramic surface to give a marked effect of lightness, in harmony with the pure, elegant, squared shapes of the single lever mixer. HIM is also a project with a green soul: its no-frills design enabled a significant reduction in the use of metal and the cascade jet of water, managed and controlled by dedicated devices, allows for constant water savings while guaranteeing comfort of use.
Brass body and handle, other components are made of corrosion and scaling-resistant material. sintered ceramic disks cartridge. Galvanic double-nickel plating, with an overall thickness of 10-12 micron and a chrome layer of 0.2 micron.

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Bhubaneswar, Apr 16:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today visited the century old Lord Lingaraj temple in Odisha capital.
After felicitating the descendants of Paika Rebellion martyrs during a programme at Raj Bhawan, Modi headed to the world famous shrine amidst tight security.
He received a warm welcome from temple management committee and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) when his carcade reached the shrine.
He offered prayer to Lord Shiva at sanctum sanctorum of the temple. Puja Panda Nijog secretary Sachikant Pujapanda, Brahman Nijog secretary Biranchi Narayan Pati, Badu Nijog secretary Kamalakant Badu, Palia Badu Sheshdev Badu were among others who performed Puja for PM Modi.
Modi took pradakshina (circumambulation) of the temple and offered prayer to other deities at the premises.
He closely took the view of architecture of the shrine and interacted with priests and servitors and stressed on cleanliness of temple.
"Prayed at the Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar. The magnificence of the Temple and Temple Complex leaves a lasting impression on the mind," Modi wrote on facebook.
Modi also visited the temple of Goddess Bhubaneswari and Parbati, said Manoranjan Panigrahy, CEO of the Lingaraj Temple Administration.
"The Prime Minister was so enthusiastic to know about Lingaraj temple. He prayed for the welfare of the nation and 'Swachh Bharat'," said chief priest of the temple.
He spent around 25 minutes in the temple premises.

Booking a tour can be a difficult process. Not only are you spending hours upon hours emailing venue after venue, but you're also taking a major gamble on the venues you're contacting. It's often hard to know if the spot is a good fit for your band, if there is decent foot traffic, how hard you will have to work for your draw, and how well their booker will work with you to make the event a success. It's just one huge gamble.View Full Article

302. Quickie Web: Video: Web 2.0 is Us/ing Us April 27, 2007Posted by Matt Fleming, PsyD in Quickie Web, Video.
Created by Kansas State U. cultural anthropology professor Michael Wesch, this 4.5 minute music video demonstrates the power and potential of Web 2.0 without spoken word. It was viewed 1.8 million times on Youtube in in its first six weeks. I was moved to tears by the end of the clip, and not really sure why. Via Wired.
- 1. Jeff Lackney - April 29, 2007
I have a strange feeling this video documents only the tip of an iceberg for creating communities of learning. This video inspires and invites a digital immigrant like myself to indeed go ahead, give myself permission, and rethink everything and see what happens rather than worrying what's "around the corner". Could it be that "what's-around-the-corner" is just something we've created in our minds? These tools are inviting us all to re-invent, re-interprete, re-think everything! What fun! I really hope our school leaders are watching! What could Web 2.0 for mean for the future of learning. How might we imagine our world transforming through the inventive and as yet unknown uses of these tools? Tools that our kids are using everyday at home, in the cafes and other venues.

A couple of weeks ago, I received a box in the post. I wasn't expecting anything, and when I opened it up, I found a couple of cute teddies and some face paint inside. Upon further investigation, I realised the teddies were in fact Feisty Pets… These teddies can change from cute, happy pets to grumpy, snarling ones in the blink of an eye… Almost as quickly as my 6 year old, in fact!
Princess Pottymouth (AKA Crookshanks).was definitely our favourite of the two Feisty Pets we received. We are all Harry Potter mad in this house, so of course Princess was quickly renamed Crookshanks! She has an RRP of £15, and is suitable for children (and adults) aged 6 and over.
Syd and I got our craft on, and made her some cat ears from an old headband and some paper coloured orange. Once we painted her face, Syd declared herself Crookshanks' mum!
As you can see, Syd too pulls a fantastic Jeckyll and Hyde mood switch!
Glenda Glitterpoop The Unicornis a cute, White Unicorn! She is one of the most popular Feisty Pets. Hardly surprising when you factor in how popular Unicorns are.
Like Princess Pottymouth, Glenda has an RRP of £15 and is suitable for children (and adults) aged 6 and over. She's super cute one second and then totally terrifying the next!
Our Thoughts:
I don't know what it is about Feisty Pets, but they really tickle me! So much so, I went live on facebook just after they arrived to share the hilarity. Feel free to watch my random live video here. (Or not)!
Syd definitely took to
Crookshanks Princess Pottymouth and hasn't left her alone since she arrived. they've been to Ordsall Hall together to attend potions class, and Crookshanks also went to Driagcon last weekend (Harry Potter Con). Syd spent much of the day scaring fellow cosplayers (and Dobby) to within an inch of their lives!

Who's in??
(Does this pic remind anyone else of "Bubble gum, bubble gum, in a dish...")
Remember this post from last year? Nothing says hardcore like HAVING TO DUCT TAPE YOUR SHOES TO YOUR PANTS!
My girls and I are getting a team together (yes, there are boys getting their own teams together, blah blah) for this years USO Mud Run! We're aiming for 2 or 3 teams actually. This was so super fun and silly and a great cause that we're adding more friends! Who's in?? Before you get all excited and start stretching, please understand HOW VERY UNCOMPETITIVE (non-competitive? under-competitive?) WE ARE! It's only a 5k and the stretches of running are rather slow-moving for most of us. (Read: bring a glass of wine and your USWeekly, that's how slow we are! You can catch up on Hollywood dirt while sampling local dirt...)
So, that's my plug. If you're at all interested, email me at katie l mohr AT hotmail d0t c0m.
