I have a bit of an obsession that I feel compelled to share with my readers…I'm currently loving reversible pieces. There's nothing better than finding a piece you love and discovering that you can wear it TWO ways! That is the absolute definition of versatility. And to make matters even better, Furla, one of my favorite handbag designers, gave their Metropolis a 90th-anniversary makeover that included interchangeable pieces.
One fun fact: reversible garments have been around for a long time. Ancient shepherds used reversible fabrics, with a warm side they would wear when the weather was cold, and a cool side when the weather was hot.
Okay, now back to the cool handbags!
Furla, the producer of amazing bags and other Italian leather goods recently unveiled their 90th-anniversary collection. While these bags are beautiful and anyone who looks at them would want one, what's really amazing is the backstory. For Furla's 90th anniversary they decided to create nine versions of their iconic Metropolis crossbody bag. Each bag represents one of their nine decades in business. As a press release from Furla explains, "to narrate the story of a brand that began its journey in 1927 and since then has traveled, in women's hands, across these ninety years".
Each bag embodies a popular music genre of the decade. Just a few of the genres included are; jazz, rock n' roll, hip-hop, and disco. The final bag represents the 2000s, the age of technology that Furla couldn't have predicted when they began in 1927. The bags were presented at Milan fashion week this year by a flash mob performance (of course).
Ninety years of history is impressive enough, but Furla went a step further. The bags are extremely versatile since the flaps and straps are interchangeable. So if you decide you need some 1970s disco in your life but also love the cute red, black, and white pattern of the 1940s, no worries! You can get both flaps for the same bag and change them out depending on your mood.
As you can see I fell in love with the 80s bag and it totally inspired me to go a bit punk in these edgy white and black striped pants, black platforms, and a satin (reversible!!!) jacket. While in this picture I went with the classic black strap, the bag also comes with a chain strap for nights when I'm feeling extra edgy.
Reversible fashion has come a long way since the days of shepherds. No longer constricted to outerwear, fashion-forward brands like Furla are making luxury bags more versatile. Furla has officially deepened my obsession with all things reversible!

Teresa Giudice Is Reportedly Returning For 'RHONJ' Season 7 & She'll Definitely Bring A Whole New Perspective With Her
If you're a fan of the Real Housewives franchise on Bravo, then I bet you're thinking about whether Teresa Giudice will return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey . Well, if you miss Giudice and would love to see her back on the drama-filled reality show, then you're in luck. According to Us Weekly, the 43-year-old, who is currently serving a 15-month prison sentence for fraud, will once again join the series that made her famous upon her release in December. Per a source, "She's definitely back next season."
Another insider claims that Giudice is "set to profit off her prison stint." After all, she is writing a memoir about her time in prison and all those tater tots she's eating. As for a show source, they said, "There is no Jersey without Teresa." Well, I can't argue with the latter. Ever since Jersey came on the scene in 2009, the show became a huge success in part thanks to Giudice, her family, and all of the dramatic moments she brought. You know, like that time she flipped a table while fighting with former housewife Danielle Staub. So it's hard to imagine the series without her on a permanent basis.
Also, Giudice would bring a new perspective to the reality show, which is purely known for its drama and feuds. There's no doubt that prison has changed her, so it would be compelling to see how she's grown personally and emotionally. Plus, it'd be interesting to see how she'd interact with the housewives. Not to mention how, with her return to the show, the ratings would skyrocket. I have a feeling that many Housewives fans would love to see Giudice in action after serving prison time. Fans just might see a whole new Teresa, and what's more captivating than that in the RHONJ world?

Seventeenth-century Java is in turmoil between its Hindu-Buddhist past and its Muslim future, while pepper draws Europe's quarrelling spice-hungry traders to its shores.
Thomas Hodges of the East India Company seizes a chance at glory by being the first to venture ashore at the pepper port of Banten in 1608. Will he unlock the mysterious riches of Java for the English, or die forgotten with a Javanese kris or Portuguese poignard between his ribs? He falls under the spell of a captivating interpreter, Sri, but can only retain both her and his Englishness by inventing a mission from King James to the mysterious great ruler of the interior – Mataram.
In Mataram he finds a kingdom poised to decide its destiny – between a rich past of gods and spirits, a sterner Islam and pushy Europeans offering both science and God. For Hodges and Sri, survival alone will be a challenge; reconciling survival and desire with conscience in this baffling spiritual landscape appears impossible.

I had Ink in my Netflix Instant queue for quite some time, but never got around to watching it. I finally did see it recently and I was glad. It is a film that deals with a little girl being stolen away to another reality, and the beings that fight for her. Once you see the entire movie you realize how many different elements were important and how they fit into the overall story. Ink has a few action scenes, has a little bit of humor, and has at least one scene that is heartbreaking. It is a very good movie.
The first thing you should know is that this is a live action film. I was surprised by this because based on the look of the movie poster/DVD cover I had assumed it was animated.
This is an Independent film from writer/director Jamin Winans. There are no big names in it, nor are there any familiar faces, unless you have seen other movies from Winans. I think I recognized the little girl (Quinn Hunchar) from a TV commercial, but I could be wrong. The other key roles are played by Winans' regular Christopher Soren Kelly and relative newcomer Jessica Duffy.
The movie opens with John (Kelly) leaving his office in a hurry and swearing up a storm. He ends up being in a traffic accident. While losing consciousness he thinks back to a moment with his daughter Emma (Hunchar) where she was playing pretend. Monsters were coming to get her and she wanted her father to play along and save her from them. While at first reluctant, John eventually does get into the spirit of things.
We are then shown scenes of several people asleep. Beings travel into their homes and bedrooms. Some of them, the Storytellers, give good dreams to them (not unlike the beings in Wings of Desire). Others, the Incubi, give them nightmares. Both sets of beings are not visible to humans. Storytellers and Incubi oppose each other, sometimes physically. The Storytellers look "normal", while the Incubi all wear masks that project the same false smiling face. By the way, these Incubi are not presented in the traditional definition of the male demon that enters women's rooms at night to have sex with them. In this case, they want people's souls.
That night a being that is neither Storyteller, nor Incubi, enters Emma's room. Storytellers are alerted and show up to fight him. His name is Ink and he is very disfigured and dressed in rags. He manages to get away with Emma, but in the fight his device which allows him to journey between our reality and that of the Storytellers and Incubi was damaged. He can get away, but he can't get directly to the Incubi, which is his goal. He has stolen Emma's soul in order to take it to the Incubi so that he can become one of them. In the real world, Emma was been left in a coma.
The next day John goes to the office to find that an account that his team supposedly had wrapped up is thinking about going to another firm. He rallies his team and they are in the middle of planning strategy when John's estranged father-in-law shows up. He tells John that Emma has been taken to the hospital and is in a coma. You see, after the death of John's wife, her parents fought John in court for custody of Emma and won. The result is a lot of hard feelings from John towards them, and a disconnect from Emma (hence the reluctance to first play along in the memory we saw.)
Emma's grandfather tells John it's very important that he go see Emma in the hospital. John is now torn because he's literally the only one who can save this massive account for his company. He is scheduled to go meet with the account. If he goes to the hospital he will miss the meeting and the account will be lost. Unbeknownst to John, there is an Incubi standing beside him whispering thoughts into his head about how the father-in-law is wrong, that John's life is more important, etc.
Meanwhile, the Storytellers have split their efforts. The majority of them join with a blind Storyteller who is a Pathfinder. What does a Pathfinder do? We find out as the movie goes along. It does tie in to whether John goes to see his daughter or goes to the meeting. The leader of the Storytellers, Liev (Duffy), manages to locate Ink. After first fighting him, she gives up when he threatens the girl he has with him. (If her soul dies in this realm then she dies in the real world.)
Liev offers herself as another hostage for the Incubi. Ink doesn't trust her, but he can't deny that she would be a great gift to present to the Incubi. It quickly becomes apparent what Liev's plan is. First, she comforts Emma, who is very scared. Second, she starts working on Ink, trying to sow some doubt about his plan. She finds that Ink does have emotions, including guilt over what is going to happen to Emma. We eventually learn that Ink is who he is because he had been a human who committed suicide. When he woke up he was in this other realm and was horribly disfigured. He covered himself in whatever clothes he could find to hide his appearance. He feels his only hope is to get the Incubi to let him join them.
Does John go see Emma in the hospital or go to the meeting, and why are both the Incubi and Storytellers so interested? (And what about that accident we saw John get in at the opening of the movie?) Does Ink manage to make his way to the Incubi, and if so, does he go through with his plan to sacrifice Emma to them, or does Liev manage to change Ink's mind? The answers are presented and past, present, and even future blend together.
One note - you'll have to pay attention. I've seen a lot of posts on the film's IMDB message board from people who didn't understand the movie. I certainly wouldn't call the reveals "straightforward", but I didn't have any trouble understanding them. Of course, I was watching the film without distractions, too.
Even though the movie was low budget compared to mainstream films, they still managed to have some key scenes, including the traffic accident. The special effects used for the masks the Incubi wear are effectively creepy (pun intended). Kelly, Duffy, and Hunchar all give good performances. I was especially taken with Duffy. She just seemed to have a real presence on screen.
This film is not your average movie, and as I mentioned above, it is not straightforward. If either of these things would bother you, then this is not the film for you. For everyone else, I highly recommend this movie.

Here is a totally unexpected and wonderfully touching word gift from the missus, this Father's Day. I also got a card with a top pun as well!
The universe is overwhelmingly made up of things that cannot be seen. In fact, the stars, planets and galaxies that can be detected make up only 4 percent of the universe, according to astronomers. The other 96 percent is made up of substances that cannot be seen or easily comprehended – but how can it be possible when one father-to-be's universe revealed his 100 percent to us?
It's his first father's day! I know that some people won't consider that you are already a father when the baby is not yet born but I do.
Today, I want to honor and thank the man who gave his entire universe to me and the people (and dogs) that I love. To my best friend, my husband, and father of my baby, thank you for giving all that you can for me and our baby (fur babies: Rambo, Rexie, Claire, Hurley, and Sawyer)…

Very annoying website!
This happens to me ALL the time on HSN's website. They show an item that is nowhere to be found! The website advertises Jay King and shows a multiple strand lariat type necklace but when I click on the promotion, no sign of the necklace! Come on, HSN! The promotion pieces are where we should land first yet I can NEVER find them!
Thanks Kim, but you DO know that HSN does it all the time – teases us by posting items on the main Fashion or designer's page picture that wwould not be available for a very long time.

These are two pictures of a person who was protesting at the hearings for Judge Kavanaugh being paid for her protest. The pictures were posted on Twitter.
What we are currently seeing in the hearings on Judge Kavanaugh is nothing more than Kabuki Theater. It is disgusting to see the process of appointing a judge to the Supreme Court become a circus. Some of the protests were so out of hand that Diane Feinstein apologized (and then was criticized by some of the more radical opposition for doing so). I hope we can complete this circus quickly. I don't think it enhances the public's view of our political process.

Last week, when it was wicked cold and wet outside, I stopped at CVS on my way home from the train. I had to pick up a prescription and decided to buy other essentials before retreating to the dry warmth and comfort of my home for the night. "Paper towels!" I reminded myself and went to the appropriate aisle.
CVS doesn't sell my preferred brand: Viva. I love Viva paper towels! They are the best for cleaning up after a cat has deposited the contents of his/her stomach on my carpet.
I settled for Bounty, but it wasn't the same. When it comes to certain products, I want what I want and I want nothing else.
Milk? Whatever. Bread? Ditto. I'm a complete slut when it comes to condiments -- the cheaper, the better. But for the 13 items listed below, they're my faves and they're the ones that I want.
so I can thank you.
1. Viva Paper Towels. White, no prints. And one size fits all. I resist those "choose-a-size" sheets; they tear too easily and then no matter what, I have the smallest size.
2. Shout Color Catchers. These lovely white sheets catch the loose dyes, enabling me to wash my white panties with my sweaters, regardless of the color.
3. Pledge Multi-Surface Wipes. I use them across (almost) my entire kitchen. Counters, stove-top, refrigerator door … even spot cleaning the floor. Good on mirrors, too. And, unlike any of the disinfecting wipes, I can dependably get them out of the package!
4. Woolite Foam Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner. I used to be a Resolve Foam girl, but I've found Woolite to be gentler, yet just as effective.
5. Edge Shave Gel. I trust these calves to nothing else.
6. Aquify Contact Lens Solution. It cleans! It soaks! It moisturizes! It would start my car, too, if I had one.
7. Dove Original Scent Anti-Perspirant Solid. Doesn't leave streaks on my clothes. Plus I love Dove's Everywoman advertising, so I'm happy to support the brand.
8. CVS Moisturizing Oatmeal Bath. In the packets. This is the "store brand" version of Aveeno, and trust me, it works just as well as the expensive name brand.
9. The Body Shop Shea Body Butter. Thick enough to really moisturize, fragrant-neutral enough to not compete with any scent I apply later.
10. Clinique Repairwear Eye Cream. Preserves my natural, dewey beauty.
11. Yoplait Yogurt. Fools my sweet tooth into believing we've had dessert.
12. Coke Classic. Coca Cola, preferably in the red can. I don't like Pepsi, I don't like generic, I don't like Diet Coke. I want my Coke Classic.
13. Post Select Great Grains. Flakes, pecans, dates and raisins – my favorite cereal. Bar none.
Leave your link in comments and I'll list you here:
1. Sandy Carlson's TT is lovely, musical and inspirational -- all at once!
2. Pjazzypar has a movie TT (and I love movie TTs). This one lists her favorite soundtracks.
3. Morgan Leigh serves up a Presidential TT.
4. Greatfullivin takes us around Boothill.
5. Malcolm takes a closer look at some SNL cast members
6. Ellen B gives us a lovely tour of a historical site that was completely new to me
7. Hootin Ani offers it all -- new banners, jokes and tongue twister!
8. Nicholas has a book TT, as only Nicholas does them
9. SJ Reidhead devotes her TT to Bond, James Bond

Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Jeffrey G. Weil and Robert A. Chu, both of the commercial litigation department, had an article on Email Theft posted by The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel. In the article, the attorneys explain how the Stored Communications act ("SCA") of the federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 ("ECPA") can be used to bring a lawsuit against a hacker, however, the ambiguity and the out datedness of the SCA and ECPA have led courts to have wildly different interpretations of the statutes. An example of this in the article is the SCA not being clear on what exactly qualifies as a violation. Courts have interpreted a violation to be each individual email accessed, each time the hacker logged-in to the email service, or if the log-ins were timed closely together as a single violation. This makes the possible damages vary from court to court. The article concludes with a declaration that it is time for Congress to update the remedy for email theft.

My life's work is the practice, study and teaching of peacemaking. As I eagerly turned from one
story to the next in Eric Galton and Lela Love's Stories Mediators Tell, I felt that I was a student
in a master class of mediation taught by thirty-one Hall of Fame conflict resolution professors.
Using Mediation Stories to Improve
the Teaching of Conflict Resolution
Due to confidentiality concerns, it is rare that conflict
resolution professionals are able to be a fly on the wall
to observe the work of our colleagues (an inexpensive
and highly effective way to learn that I describe in my
book Mediation Career Guide: A Strategic Approach to
Building a Successful Practice). This collection of experiences from some of the best mediators in the field
is the next best thing, a treasure trove of insights for
peacemakers regardless of their levels of experience.
As I discovered one lesson after another from the
fascinating and well-written stories in this volume, I
began to reflect on how a more frequent, strategic, and
institutional acceptance and use of mediation stories
could improve mediation training and skills at the table.
One of the many reasons why mediator stories make
such a contribution to the field of mediation is that it
reminds us of the power of helping with a personal
touch. I have found that mediation training participants are generally enthralled with practitioner stories,
which are easy to listen to, come from the practical
experience of the instructor, and frequently anchor a
student's understanding, memory, and ultimately the
use of key teaching points.
Until I read this book, I used only limited story-telling
in my training due a strategic preference to have my
classroom serve as a metaphor for the mediation room,
where the teacher plays the role of the mediator and
the students are the metaphorical mediation parties.
Telling "war stories" in a mediation usually isn't helpful – mediation parties would rather talk about their
own situation and have the mediator listen, diagnose,
and find a solution for them. So I had made a conscious
choice to use training time to focus on material being
presented, address the questions and comments from
the participants, and weave those comments into the
teaching point, rather than commandeer class time by
telling practice stories regaling students with my feats
in the mediation room.
Since first reading Stories Mediators Tell, I have inten-tionally injected more stories into my training, with greatsuccess. My key teaching strategy in the presentationof mediator stories is to have students read a selectedstory aloud. Each student reads a paragraph or two andthen passes the book to the next student. I find that thetime that this process consumes is well justified by theinterest the story engenders; this is particularly so withthe "tangential" setup and background of the media-tion within the story context that often sheds light onthe mediator strategies and interventions within themediation room. Instead of my describing the story oreven asking students to set up the facts of the storyfrom their pre-class assignment, the actual wordsbeing read by different voices in a classroom of otherstudents produces an involvement and appreciation formediation craft that is quite different and deeper thanmany other teaching strategies.
I compare this experience with a bare reading of brilliant books such as The Handbook of Conflict Resolution
by Deutsch and Coleman. The concepts in that book are
essential to producing a competent mediator's thinking
and skill set. Yet when the concepts are applied to one
of the stories in Stories Mediators Tell, due to the emotional connection created by the storytelling, the story
telling concepts come to life and teaching concepts can
be more easily learned.
In exploring how mediator stories fit into current
mediation standards of practice, I surveyed standards
in a variety of settings: federal and state courts; mediator membership organizations (ACR, AFCC, ABA,
International Academy of Mediators); and state mediation funding organizational guidelines (e.g., California
Dispute Resolution Program Act). Most, if not all, mediation accreditation bodies require extensive simulated
role-plays as an essential facet of mediation training.
But I could not find written stories of mediators' performance (and their reflections) to be included in any
mediation training criteria for any organization, except
those institutions that are dedicated to narrative mediation. I believe this is a gap that should be remedied.
The benefits of telling stories goes beyond teaching
about the choices that mediators make in practice. The
human aspects of the mediator stories provide a different type of frame from which to observe mediator
behavior—the depth and emotional context of hurt,
angst, concern, and fear that overcome parties are
challenges that can only be partially captured by the
social scientist researcher.

Arizona, as we now know, has almost no gun laws. No laws to protect children from adults who leave guns unlocked. No laws to require a license with a purchase. No laws to require mandatory reporting of stolen guns. No laws requiring fingerprinting, or the micro-stamping of guns. No laws limiting how many guns can be purchased every month. No laws requiring background checks for purchasing ammunition. No laws requiring that law enforcement have a say in who can carry concealed weapons, as Jared Loughner is accused of doing. No assault weapons restrictions, and no restrictions, as we sadly saw, on how many rounds can be in high-capacity magazines — magazines that declare and wage war on innocents.
I have learned that just about anybody can buy a gun from a private seller at a gun show without a Brady criminal background check. I've been to gun shows and bought guns. I even bought the same kind of gun that the Virginia Tech shooter used to shoot me and 48 other people that dark April morning.
What I learned at gun shows, and as a survivor of the madness that is gun violence, is part of a new documentary called Living for 32 — in memory of the 32 people killed every day from gun violence in our country, and the 32 killed at Virginia Tech.
Maybe crazy people will do crazy things. But why, I ask my country, my president, my representatives in Congress, why do we make it so damned easy?

|The XP-755 concept car, also known as the Mako Shark, was designed by Larry Shinoda in 1961, as a concept for future Chevrolet Corvette production cars. The streamlining, pointed snout, and other detailing was partly inspired by the sleek, fast-moving shortfin mako shark.
Mitchell had a mako shark mounted on the wall in his office, and ordered the paint to match the distinctive blue-gray upper surface gently blending into white underside of the fish. After numerous failed attempts, the team kidnapped the fish one night, painting it to match their efforts on the car, and returning it to the office. Mitchell never realized the difference.

The Folks Up Front at the Berkeley Public Library
When you first walk into the Central Library, the Information Desk is directly in front of you. Unless you know where you're going, it's a helpful and welcoming place to visit.
On this day Teresa Albro is on the desk, spending an hour talking to the public in person and on the phone, fielding questions. Most often Teresa works on the fifth floor in the Art and Music room. Like most library employees, she takes her turn at the Information Desk. "I enjoy the chance to meet the library patrons—finding out what brings them to the library," she says. "People have all kinds of questions," Teresa continues, "Sometimes it's something as simple 'Where are the restrooms?' or 'Where do I go to apply for a job?"' But often it's a question that may require a little digging. "We try to give them a substantive answer or direct them to a resource where they might find an answer," she adds, indicating the fat information binder she calls "the bible." In the branch libraries, the Information Desk often also functions as the reference desk.
Closer to the entrance, you'll usually see one of the library's security officers. It might be Patrice Roland who has been with the library for many years. For many people, the presence of a security officer assures them that the library is a safe place to be.
To the left of the Information Desk is one of the busiest parts of the library—the Checkout Desk. At any one time, several people work behind the desk checking out library materials, issuing library cards or, in a quieter moment, putting books on the hold shelves next to the several self-checkout machines. The old days of your book being stamped with a due date is now replaced with a printed slip giving you the due date along with title, author and other information. Of course you can still stamp your own book (or other material). In the branch libraries during library hours, the Checkout desk is the Check-in Desk.
This morning, Rudy Tapia is on the desk. Rudy is no stranger to libraries having started with the Oakland Public Library as a volunteer at the age of 10. "At the Central Library we're moved around every hour or so," he says. "Sometimes I'm upstairs at the Paging Desk, where I bring out requested materials from the storage area, or I'm in a main floor room collecting returned books that are dropped into the outside and inside slots," he adds.
Jay Dickinson manages the Circulation Department, which includes staffing the Information Desk. Before coming to the Berkeley Library three years ago, Jay oversaw the merger of the San Jose State University library with the San Jose Public Library, followed by a shorter stint at San Francisco State University's reserve book room. "I wanted to come to Berkeley," he said, adding that his wife works as a cataloger at the UC Berkeley library. "I love the urban intensity, the variety of people and the high degree of public involvement, all of which are reflected here in the library," he adds
Although the library plays a number of roles in the community, borrowing books and other library materials is what most people think of the library's primary function.
"Jay keeps track of a wide range of statistical information relating to the circulation of library materials" says deputy-director Doug Smith who looks forward to his time on the information desk as his way of measuring the public pulse.
"Our circulation has increased 8 percent each year recently, probably because of the recession," Jay says. "Before the end of the fiscal year in June, we expect to hit two million library items checked out. We won't know just who that patron will be, but we plan on having some kind of celebration," Jay says with obvious relish.
Jay keeps tabs on ebbs and flows of cumulative checkouts over the course of the year including the percentage of people who use the self-check machines (more children and teens). He also compares the circulation among the various collections and library locations. "This so-called turnover rate helps determine our budget and where to develop our collections," he adds.
Both Doug and Jay stress that in the library's monitoring of the collection use, they adhere to a strict privacy policy which protects the privacy of all patron information. "Our staff has received training on the procedures concerning patron privacy, and they take it very seriously," Jay emphasizes.
"Once an item is returned, a patron's record no longer reflects that they once circulated it," says Jay. "The single exception to that rule would be if the patron accrued and paid late fees on the item. Paid fine information is saved for one year for bookkeeping reasons, and of course unpaid fines remain on the books longer," he says.
Soon, when you enter the Central Library, you'll see certain changes. Anticipating a larger volume of activity than usual once the branch library remodeling begins, the configuration of the Information Desk and the Check-out Desk will be redesigned to accommodate more people.

I use this more than weekly. I love the conditioner, it extends my blowout but most importantly, this company has amazing customer service!
July 23, 2019 by Courtney Van Jacobs
Best Deep Conditioner Out There
I used to leave this in my hair overnight as instructed. But I have found that, for me, the Açaí Deep Conditiong Masque works fine as a 3 minute treatment in the shower. So now I use it every time I wash my hair. Brazilian Blowout has THE BEST quality products. My hair is highlighted and fries easily. This product put my hair back in excellent condition after it was fried when a colorist didn't believe me that my hair was delicate. After a couple if Olaplex treatments, and using this regularly, I have never looked back.
April 5, 2019 by T
Excellent product and great customer service!
January 25, 2019 by carmela
Prevents dryness!
I use this after every shampoo instead of the regular conditioner. Even though it's thick, it doesn't weigh my hair down.

You don't have to follow all the links in the text, take a look at the overview gallery of the different days so far: 2005-07-08, 2005-07-09, 2005-07-10, 2005-07-11.
After a while my luggage arrived in HEL. The days so far had been quite hot, enjoying hanging around with people I've only been in contact via email, irc, or even not at all yet.
Some of them were overexcited to meet again. Some others had problems getting something to eat. (But only for half an hour or such, and only the non-vegetarian ones. Had been nice watching them waiting for their food. ;))
On a sidenode, this could be called the debconf of invalidity. Holger managed to have serious problems with one of his legs right from the start requiring crutches. Jordi was hit by elmo while playing frisbee yesterday and also has problems to move on. And though Amaya is doing pretty well with trying to learn skating she got an incident last night where she managed to get a rather nasty bruise. Others are just disliked by the birds, though (that's madduck's notebook.) I'm really wondering to whom next something is going to happen.
Ah, one last thing: For those being in HEL currently, if you like to buy one of these shirts feel free to bug me, I have several with me, both the girlie shirt and the polo shirt:

text: Bryce Canyon National Park June 29, 2019June 29, 2019 TravellerTraveller Bryce Canyon National Park is a national park of America situated in southwestern Utah. The main feature of the park is the Bryce Canyon, which, despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of gigantic natural amphitheatres along the east side of the Paunsogunt Plateau. Bryce is distinguished by geological structures, called Hood, formed as a result of frost weathering and water erosion of sedimentary rocks of the river and the lake bed. The red, orange and white colors of the cliffs offer breathtaking views for visitors to the park. In 1850's, the Bryce Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers and was named after Ebenezer Bryce. The park occupies 35,835 acres. Bryce Canyon National Park is much smaller and located at a much higher level than the nearby Zion National Park. Bryce rim ranges from 8000 to 9000 feet. Weather of Bryce Canyon National Park: Due to the high altitude of the climate, the weather in Bryce Canyon during the autumn, winter and spring can be very changeable. Snowfall in October is not uncommon, but during the month there are also many sunny and pleasant autumn days. From October to May, the temperature drops below zero almost every night. The park usually experiences the coldest and snowiest periods from December to February. Spring storms in March and April can still cause heavy snowfall, which can affect travel in the region. In summer, days are usually pleasant: day highs in June tend to reach 60–70s (F), maximum 70–80 in July and August, while September is similar to June. The rainy season begins in July and August, with frequent, usually short, thunderstorms in the afternoon, which cause heavy rain and frequent lightning. Camping in Bryce Canyon: Camping opportunities in Bryce Canyon Country are wide. With heights from 4,000 to 11,000 feet, you will have the opportunity to camp in the desert or in the highland forests. There are two campgrounds in the Bryce National Park with the names North and Sunset. Both campgrounds are conveniently located, and both have toilets with flush toilets all year round. North Camping: Four loops. 99 places – loops A & B-RV campers, loops C & D – tent camps. The northern campsite is closer to the visitor center and the general store. Coin shower or laundry facilities are available during the summer months. Sunset Campground: Twenty places for tents and a group site – you can reserve in advance. Sites are limited to ten people – first come, first served. There are no connections, but the station for unloading (charged) is available in the summer. Backcountry campers: Choose from eight camping sites on the Underground Path plus four camp sites on Riggs Spring Loop Trail. Height varies from 6800 feet to more than 9000 feet. Permits to purchase in person at the tourist center for overnight stay in the backcountry of Bryce Canyon National Park. The camp is only in designated areas and leaves no traces. Open fire is not allowed. Bryce Canyon hiking: Bryce Canyon offers several hiking trails. Since many of them are interconnected, our most popular hikes are combinations of two or more of these main routes. Hiking trails are divided into three categories of difficulty: Easy Hiking: The hikes listed below are classified as light. They have soft grades, some partially paved and minimal height changes. Mossy Cave (0.8 miles / 1.3 km roundtrip): Located outside the amphitheater on Highway 12, heading towards the Tropic, this trail is a river road leading to a mossy overhang and a small waterfall. The waterfall flows from May to October. Rome Trail (17.7 km round trip) and Sunset Point to Sunrise Point Trail (1.6 km / 1.6 km): Inspect the amphitheater and its hood hood along the rim. The trail from sunset to sunrise is paved and fairly flat. Bristlekone loop (1.6 km / 1.6 km round trip): Walk through the spruce-fir forests to the cliffs with pine bristles and extensive species. Queens Garden (2.9 km, round trip): This is the least difficult path to the canyon. Using your imagination, you can even see Queen Victoria at the end of a short path. Moderate hiking: Moderate hikes have steep inclines with changes in height "down and back" and include the following routes: Navajo Trail (2.2 miles / 2.2 km round trip): The Navajo loop begins at sunset and descends into the Bryce Amphitheater through a "slit" canyon, where the large Douglas trees stretch to reach the sunshine high above them. Tower Bridge (4.8 km both ways): See the Bristlekone Pines and the Wall of China. 1/4 mile shadowy spur trail leads to Tower Bridge Hat Shop (4 miles / 6.4 km round trip): Go down to the Underground Path to see a hudu group of balanced stones. Marsh Canyon (7.2 km): Descend into one of the less well-known areas of Bryce Canyon. Difficult hikes: Difficult hikes are steep ascents with multiple changes in altitude and over long distances. These trips can challenge the most avid tourists and are not recommended for the faint of heart. Combining some of these trips can also add to the adventures of a more experienced traveler, such as Navajo and Peak-A-Boo or Navajo, Queens Garden and Peak-A-Boo. Fairy Circle (8 miles / 12.9 km round trip): See the Wall of China, the Tower Bridge and the high hoods on this less crowded trail. Loop Peek-A-Boo (8.8 km round trip): A steep but thrilling trek through the heart of Bryce Amphitheater. Look at the Windows Wall. (This trail is common for a concession trip). Riggs Spring Loop (14.2 km round trip): Walk on a high height leaving the Rainbow Point down through the various forests of Spruce, Fir and Bristlekon. Lodges in Bryce National Park: The historic lodge in Bryce Canyon and its surrounding facilities are within walking distance of the famous Bryce Amphitheater Park. The hotel has 114 rooms, including suites, motel rooms and cottages. Reservations are highly recommended for The Historic Lodge. Dining at Bryce Canyon Lodge is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A gift shop is also available at the lodge. There are many opportunities for lodging, such as camping in a tent, connecting your RV or relaxing in a luxury hotel. Many restaurants and entertainment options will be found here. Bryce Canyon Country is the homeland of one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Whether you are driving or relaxing for several days, the beauty of nature will leave you in awe. Bryce Canyon National Park has hiking and cycling trails, ideal for any level of stamina, from the plains to difficult canyons. Even if you stick to motorways and shoulders, there is no shortage of roadside glory. If you are more prone to adventure, think about a multi-day horse ride or a night trekking with a guide, lit by the moon and a bright starry sky. Whether you prefer bird watching, hunting, fishing, golf, or just looking at the starry night sky, there is no chance for boredom.

Brownie Fudge
Brownie Fudge. Divine. Chocolaty, smooth, and unbelievably rich. This melt-in-your-mouth brownie fudge is so easy to make (2 minutes!), vegan, gluten free, almost fat free and nut free, which makes this the perfect treat for those allergic to nuts! This tastes like a brownie but the texture is like fudge, hence the name. In other words, you really really REALLY should try it.
Even my parents, who aren't huge fans of sweet things, LOVED THIS. They said it was the best thing I've ever made which I don't know how I feel about, but that definitely says something!
Brownie Fudge
1/2 cup pitted dates
1/2 cup oats, blended into flour
1/3 - 1/2 cup cocoa powder (1/3 cup for hershey's bar taste, 1/2 for dark chocolate)
1/4 cup yogurt or almond milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Dash of salt
Blend dates in food processor, then add rest of ingredients in order. Transfer to plate and chill for 30 minutes or until set! Double / halve recipe as needed.

HAS ANYONE WON an EXPENSIVE PRIZE from THE REWARD STORE?
We always have a chance, using our tickets won THROUGH 'ARCADE' GAMES…to enter for the opportunity to win various prizes through the HSN Reward Store. However, I don't remember anyone mentioning an expensive item they had won. Of course, this could be my own fault for not checking in enough to look and see. Today, I came across an "HP Pavilion 17.3" Touch LED Laptop". HSN SALE PRICE is $699.95. It says "TIME LEFT: 11 d : 21 h : 47 m : 21 s". It'd be awesome to win such a prize as this laptop. It also clearly states it'll be just about 22 days before a winner is selected. I'm grateful for the tickets and grateful for the opportunity to have a chance to win. Yet, I've never heard anyone say they've won any of the more expensive items. IF you have, please, let me know. :heart::womanhappy:
I love to see the winners post their wins. And I always look to see who won so I can congratulate them.
I would love to have this laptop! And am putting tickets in for it. Ususally with these higher ticket items I use the alternate method. But since I got so many tickets on the double ticket week, I can use tickets this time.
Congrats ahead of time to whoever wins this laptop.
Lizzie818 won the Dyson Animal a couple of weeks ago and the person who won the car last fall posted a couple of times (I don't remember her name). Also, there is a whole thread, including pictures, by the person who won the 2 week Caribbean Cruise.
If you go to the arcade and click WINNERS at the top of the page you can see who won each item when the prize is drawn.All the prizes listed are awarded.

Nothingilikemore too classy
Trainer John Size's equine star lives up to top billing in $1.7 million Hong Kong Classic Mile
Nothingilikemore lived up to his top billing with a confident victory in the HK$10 million (S$1.7 million) Hong Kong Classic Mile at Sha Tin on Sunday.
Champion jockey Joao Moreira steered the 1.6 favourite to a wide passage into the home straight and Hong Kong's latest star did the rest, quickening through the final 400m in an untouchable 22.90sec to clock a winning time of 1min 34.24sec.
Singapore Sling, owned by Singapore interests, chased to finish a length-and-a-quarter second under Chad Schofield.
With the first leg of Hong Kong's three-race Four-Year-Old Classic Series secured, the talented Husson gelding is set for the Hong Kong Classic Cup over 1,800m on Feb 18.
And trainer John Size sees the BMW Hong Kong Derby over 2,000m as a likely target, too.
"He's going to run well in the 1,800," said Size.
"The tempo's going to be a bit different but he seems to be able to adapt to that once he settles and follows horses.
"I don't think that will worry him and I'd envisage that he'd go to the Derby as well."
He's a very relaxed type of horse and I don't think another furlong (200m) is going to hammer him.Jockey Joao Moreira, on Nothingilikemore's ability to handle the Hong Kong Classic Cup's 1,800m trip
The handler's previous Hong Kong Classic Mile winner, Sun Jewellery, followed up in the Hong Kong Classic Cup in 2016 before running seventh in the BMW Hong Kong Derby.
Nothingilikemore went into Sunday's feature rated 10lb (4.54kg) and more ahead of his rivals, but the manner of victory - against the best of his peers - was impressive nonetheless.
"He keeps on surprising me every time that he goes out there. Each time that Nothingilikemore races, he's more relaxed," said Moreira, who won this race 12 months ago on Rapper Dragon and in 2014 atop Able Friend.
The bay - fresh and keen in the parade ring - was a model competitor once the starting gates opened.
A sharp start had Moreira positioned front-rank, but as Ruthven powered to the fore under Alexis Badel, the Brazilian allowed his horse to settle back in mid-rank, one spot off the running rail.
"We were hoping that we could settle a bit closer but, unfortunately, horses around me were making me run, trying to get in, and I had to let them go," said Moreira. "I didn't want to get inside of them and get pushed to the fence, so I had to give away that position.
"Once I got behind horses with cover, two off the fence, I was quite confident that I would have a full-on horse at the finish, and that was the case."
Size summed it up: "He seems to be capable to travel in a field quite kindly and accelerate, so that's all you really want in a racehorse."
When Moreira shifted out towards the home turn, Nothingilikemore quickened his rhythm.
"I was a bit concerned on the bend because he was kind of off the bridle but I know him very well, and I knew that once I pulled him on the outside and gave him a clear run, he'd dash home," said Moreira.
"Once I got him on the outside, he started to quicken and make a run himself, I didn't have to press the button.
"I turned for home pretty close to the leaders, which was the best spot to be anyway, I wanted to be on the outside.
"With 200m to go, I knew I had the race won and I was delighted to be aboard him." - HKJC

Denmark's Chorus Grant is back with first new song in 5 years - a folk-rock chamber music mutant called "Lives"
Since the release of 2014's Space, Kristian Finne aka Chorus Grant has released two records and toured with acclaimed duo Cancer consisting of Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild of When Saints Go Machine and Kristian. This past year however, Kristian has focused solely on writing a new solo album as Chorus Grant. The new album revolves thematically around transitions of life, and the liminal space between the old and the new- the "what was" and the "what will be".
Compositionally working on his own take on a new Nordic sound, Kristian found what he calls "the melancholic major" and the harmonic qualities of this tone inhabits the new songs and leads to the core of emotional life.
"Music and songwriting is my most trusted friend. It helps me to understand life and give voice to ponderings that can't not be articulated in normal conversation. I've felt an urgency to write these songs that deal with transition and transformation- floating mid-air between an old and a new life. My hope is that my coming record will resonate with others and serve as a mirror where people can unravel their own lives and find comfort that no one is alone when facing fundamental change."
The video for "Lives" is made by rising star painter and visual artist Jakob Steen in his studio located in an industrial area of Copenhagen. The friendship and kinship between Kristian and Jakob has previously manifested itself in visuals for the songs "O Everyone" and "Godplans" from before mentioned Space. On "Lives", Steen stages Chorus Grant in a locked setting that leaves no other option than to communicate with eyes, face and voice.
Appearing on the recording is Sebastian Rochford(Polar Bear, Patti Smith etc.) ondrums, Adi Zukanovic (IRAH) on organ and keyboard, Karen Guastavino plays the recorder and baritone saxophone and Mads Brinch plays bass. "Lives" is composed and written by Kristian Finne who also plays guitar and sings.

A Decent House, a Decent Job, a Decent Life: Social Reproduction Theory and Working Class Organizing in Cape Town
Presented by CIPS and IPEN
While progressive coalitions continue to oppose neoliberal restructuring, organizing on the left remains fragmented and the underlying unity of the multitude of working class struggles undertheorized. Overcoming these theoretical and practical obstacles is an urgent task in the face of both renewed attempts by the state and capital to ensure stability and deepen market penetration into the remaining untouched corners of working class life, and threats to unity generated within the left by narrow understandings of class and identity. Drawing on empirical research around struggles for housing and public services in Cape Town, South Africa, this paper argues that Social Reproduction Theory (SRT) may provide just such an integrated theorization of the diverse experiences and struggles of the working class. SRT recovers class by building from the material, everyday experience to generate unifying understandings of class struggle within a capitalist totality in which difference within the class is constitutive

Call for Papers | Devils and Daemons: An Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference
August 8 – 10, 2019
Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia
In Plato's Symposium, the wise woman Diotima reveals to Socrates that "Daimons" (later Latinized to "Daemons") are the intermediaries between the gods and humans, mediums for divination, prophecy, and other moments of divine possession. "Love" reveals immortal beauty to mortals in the Symposium, while Socrates' "daimonion" whispers prophetic warnings into his ear in Plato's Apology. Even happiness had a touch of the divine for the ancient Greeks; their word for happiness was "Eudaimonia." As monotheism took hold in Europe, however, the Latin "Daemon" became the evil "Demon" of the Christian era, identified with the devils and fiends that meddle with the good work of angels. Thus, contact with these spirits became a sinful act, a change with real material consequences for peoples accused of witchcraft or spell-casting.
The Dalhousie Association of Graduate Students in English (DAGSE) invites submissions of paper presentations for "Devils and Daemons: An Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference." Proposals from students at all levels and in all areas of graduate study are welcome. We encourage proposals from marginalized voices and prospective presenters are welcome to self-identify in their proposals. This three-day conference will be held August 8th to 10th, 2019 at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Childcare will be provided upon request.
Submissions: Please submit a 250-word abstract plus a 50-word biographical statement that includes your name, current level of graduate study, affiliated university, and email address to firstname.lastname@example.com. Panel submissions are also welcome.
Please include the words "Devils and Daemons Conference Abstract" in the subject line.
Deadline: 31 March 2019. Accepted presenters will receive notification in mid-May.
