Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), has floated a micro-credit scheme for the empowerment of women and youths in his constituency.
Ndoma-Egba who represents the Central Senatorial District of Cross River, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Calabar, yesterday.
He said, "I have introduced a new micro credit scheme which is just designed for women and youths to bring them together to form cooperatives and businesses of their choice.
"We have sponsored few groups and they have come to me to indicate the businesses they want to do and some of them are doing well."
The senate leader added that he had earmarked some funds, specially for selected micro finance ventures for women.
"A bank is already working with many women groups in the senatorial district and as I speak with you, money is already in CDS Micro Finance Bank for that purpose. It is the bank that is managing the project."
He noted that a lot of women and young people had also benefited from his scholarship scheme in the state, stressing that "women and youths are the real resource of a nation.
"It is not oil, not gold or diamond, it is humans that constitute the resource of a nation but how useful they become depends on the kind of education you give to them.
"So, this young women and men are our resources, whether we will come out of the poverty cycle and consequent violence will depend on what we do with our young people and women.
"There is a rental service by Etung women where they rent chairs and canopies for functions. That too is sponsored by me."
He added, "Women are very important not just to me but to our political group. They were active in last year's election.
"We have designed a large economic empowerment programme for the women and I am sure the technical people are talking with women and assisting them on how to go about it. (NAN)

Source: Source: http://www.janetcharltonshollywood.com/So what if she got fired from The View? Now Star Jones Reynolds is free to pursue her dream of becoming a MOVIE STAR! You might not remember, but Star made a guest appearance on the Lifetime series Strong Medicine a few years back and she was DEVOURED by the acting bug. Star figured if Oprah can act, she could too. Sadly, her boss Barbara Walters doused her acting aspirations - pointing out that Star could "lose credibility as a TV journalist and legal expert." And that was THAT. Star had to put her passion to act on the back burner. After her huge weight loss the idea of acting became even more plausible, but Ms Walters always stood in her say. Now she's FREE to give Hollywood a try, and we bet hubby Al is already packing his bags for Beverly Hills.

^^ I don't think you have to worry. I highly doubt anyone in the biz sees any box office potential in her.
GOd I hope you're right. Otherwise, I might have to end it all...
Ditto, I think I would personally boycott the production company who would even CONTEMPLATE giving her a job.
Maybe they are doing a Babe remake......or she could take over the role of the Swamp Thing? I think she's got a lot of.........potential.......
Or.... brace yourself: she & Al are going to do porn... Sorry, I have a really sick mind!!

A-DATA Vitesta DDR3-1600X 2GB Memory Kit
It has been some time since A-DATA memory has crossed our lab table; either they have been hiding or they have been waiting; waiting for a product that would make them into millionaires. Well, maybe not millionaires, but something to impress.
In today's consumer PC market, if you want to get ahead, you need speed, performance and a product that people will want to buy. Graphics cards are held by either NVIDIA or ATI; there are no others of real contention, and this market is cut throat.
One of the biggest performance parts in the system today is the memory or RAM. Your system memory is what makes or breaks your PC; if it's too slow, your CPU can't get fast enough access to the data stored, and with today's ever growing fast paced PCs, you need to keep up.
Intel added what it termed XMP or Extreme Memory Profiling to its X38 and X48 chipsets; this in terms of technology is the same as NVIDIA's EPP which adds extra instructions into the memory SPD, allowing the memory to tell the system how fast it can run, what extra voltages it needs and what timings can be used for certain extreme profiles.
Today we have A-DATA's Vitesta Extreme Edition DDR3 modules designed for XMP with a rating of 1600MHz; the fastest that Intel currently supports on its X series chipsets. Let's see how well it performs.

NGE >> History and Archaeology >> Civil Rights and Sunbelt Georgia, 1945-1990 >> People >> Millard Fuller (1935-2009) |
Millard Fuller (1935-2009) Millard Fuller and his wife, Linda, founded Habitat for Humanity International in 1976. Now an international organization, Habitat is a Christian ministry that seeks to provide decent housing to those unable to afford it through traditional channels. In 1995 the couple founded the Fuller Center for Housing. Early Career Millard Dean Fuller
Fuller graduated with a degree in economics from Auburn University in Alabama in 1957 and went on to attend the University of Alabama Law School. Expanding his entrepreneurial horizons, Fuller sold Christmas trees and mistletoe with another law student, Morris Dees, who became Fuller's partner. (Dees later cofounded the Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights law firm and educational publisher in Montgomery, Alabama. The center's first president was Georgia politician and activist Julian Bond.) They began their first lucrative undertaking, a direct-mail business, by selling imported Italian wreaths to the Boy Scouts. The business, named Fuller and Dees Marketing, eventually began selling cookbooks and knickknacks. In 1959 Fuller married Linda Caldwell; the couple had four children: Christopher, Kim, Faith, and Georgia. Upon finishing law school, Fuller began an industrious career as a lawyer while also continuing to run the marketing firm. Working long hours, Fuller managed by 1964 to become a millionaire at the age of twenty-nine. The preoccupation with increasing his wealth led to health and family problems, however, and Fuller reassessed his priorities. He and his wife, members of the United Church of Christ, decided to simplify their lives by living simply, selling their possessions, and focusing on their religion. The Fullers sold their share in the marketing business to Dees for $1 million and donated the money from the sale of their possessions to Tougaloo College in Mississippi, a rural Christian community in Sumter County called Koinonia Farm, and various missionary projects. The Seeds of Habitat In 1965, as they began their new life, the Fullers visited Al Henry, an old friend and former pastor from Alabama who was living at Koinonia. During the visit Fuller met Clarence Jordan, the farm's founder, and the two quickly became close friends. Jordan had established the farm in 1942 as an interracial Christian commune, which supported the belief that all people are brothers and sisters of God and that people of different races should live side by side in harmony. This concept, however, was unpopular at the time in rural south Georgia. Fuller and his wife remained at Koinonia for several months, until he accepted a position at Tougaloo College in early 1966 to establish a development office. The job took him to New York, and Fuller often traveled over the next two years, speaking on behalf of the school as well as the United Church Mission Board. Although their correspondence was irregular, Fuller and Jordan remained connected, and in March 1968, Fuller resigned his position and returned to Koinonia. It was during this period that the two men explored possible ways to accomplish the mission they envisioned—to grow closer to God while uniting all people as partners and ridding the world of racism, poverty, and ignorance. As a result, Jordan suggested the establishment of the Fund for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that would provide funds to build modest homes. The men envisioned a partnership between those who could not afford to own a house and volunteers like themselves. No-interest loans would be
Habitat Years From 1973 to 1976 the Fullers and their four children lived in Zaire, Africa, using the fund concept to build sufficient housing for 2,000 people. Upon their return to the United States, Fuller established Habitat for Humanity in Americus. By 2008 the organization had provided more than 250,000 affordable homes for more than 1 million people throughout the world. Numerous volunteers have worked with Habitat over the years, including U.S. president Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, who together head the Jimmy Carter Work Project, an annual "blitz" build. In 2004
Awards and Publications The Fullers received the Harry S. Truman Public Service Award in 1994 and the Bronze Medallion from the Points of Light Foundation in 2002. In addition, Fuller has received numerous awards and honorary doctorate degrees, including the Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award from the King Center. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution also named him one of the Twenty Georgians Who Most Influenced the Twentieth Century. In October 2005 the Extra Mile Points of Light Volunteer Pathway,
Fuller wrote nine books, including Bokotola (1977) , Love in the Mortar Joints (1980), No More Shacks! (1986), The Theology of the Hammer (1994), A Simple, Decent Place to Live (1995), More Than Houses (2000), Building Materials for Life, Vol. I (2002), and Building Materials for Life, Vol. II (2003). He and his wife cowrote The Excitement Is Building (1990). Fuller died at age seventy-four, in an ambulance traveling from Americus to Albany, on February 3, 2009. He was buried at Koinonia.

I can see it made fancy by using two shades of gold metallic for the edges, Very Velvet in a textured stitch for the scroll case, and maybe Whipped Chain Stitch for the letters. Such a delightful piece!

Peachtree Presbyterian is a church in Atlanta. Seventeen stitchers got together to stitch this charming 23-piece needlepoint nativity, seen here. A lovely article from the Atlanta Constitution and available here tells the story behind this lovely and enduring legacy to the church. The pieces use 58 different stitches, 20 kinds of threads, and 129 colors. Not only is it a gift to the church, it was part of an initiative to raise money for My Sister's House, a transitional home for homeless women and children. It took about eight months to stitch, with many of the stitchers meeting together to stitch twice a month. It was completed in 2010 and has a display that includes a stable made of wood from the Holy Land. This is such a lovely project and a real testament to the faith of the stitchers. My thanks to my friend William Swords for letting me
Originally posted 2009-08-12 07:27:02. Republished by Blog Post Promoter October 11 is the feast of St. Clare, who is the patron saint of needlework. There are patrons for many, many things, so you shouldn't be surprised that needlework has its own patron. If you don't know much about St. Clare, she was the daughter of a noble family in Asissi and a friend of St. Francis. She was called to the life of the Franciscans and became the first Franciscan nun. It's because of her that the order is commonly called "Poor Clares." She is the patron of needlework because she was a fine embroiderer and her convent made vestments and liturgical pieces for the Franciscans. Clare is also the patron of television, because of this charming story. She was sick and in bed on Christmas Eve and so unable to attend Midnight Mass. She saw the entire Mass, as
Galina Tregubov makes stunning embroidered icons in Split Stitch using only DMC #5 perle cotton. The tradition of writing icons in the Orthodox Churches is a long (Yes, you "write" an icon, you don't "paint" or even "stitch" it). It's said that the oldest icon of all was painted by St. Luke. It's of the Virgin Mary. The look of a particular icon is copied exactly and is passed down through the generations. These icons are found in churches and homes. What makes Galina's icons unusual is that they are the traditional images you will see elsewher but they are done entirely in thread. I astonished at how lovely they are, especially when you consider they are done with the thread as it comes out of the skein. On her site she has a lovely slide show of her work. If you want to learn more about her technique (which
Originally posted 2008-06-23 17:40:06. Republished by Blog Post PromoterDoing needlepoint to adorn a church is a dream for many needleworkers. Many people will seek out churches with needlepoint kneelers to see them and countless other stitchers volunteer their time to make these lovely works of faith, skill, and art. Designing Women has just published a delightful guide that is a starting point for anyone considering making religious needlepoint. Keeping the Faith is a spiral-bound book that not helps you plan and execute your project, but includes charts for 50 different Christian symbols to get you started. The book starts with a chapter on how to use the book, then it continues through all the steps of the church project, from forming the committee to cleaning and storing the finished items. While many books on church needlework focus almost completely on kneelers,, Keeping the Faith looks at a wider assortment of
In thinking about threads, there are some pretty clear preferences. Some people love silk, some won't touch it. Some people only want to use threads that are single-strand, others like the flexibility that comes from having threads you can adjust. And then some people are like me, they just love threads. At TNNA, Planet Earth introduced additional colors to their variegated 6-ply silk. The 6-ply silk is a great thread because it is dyed to match the single-ply silk, but allows you to use it on more types of grounds. (A great tip when you have matching threads like this is to use one or more strands of 6-ply to bulk up single-ply when it's just a little bit thin on coverage). I've used the solid 6-ply in the past, but this was my first chance to use the variegated. I was delightfully surprised by it. The colors are different
I love Designing Women's Canvases and have stitched many over the years. My favorites are their crosses which come in such a wide selection of styles. Recently Canvas Connection took over their line of canvases. Happily the have an extensive website and have a whole section of it devoted to the Designing Women canvases. Go to their home page and click on "Designing Women" to see 17 pages of designs. Each collection of canvases is grouped together, with a thumbnail (not clickable) and the design number. Each collection also has the size and mesh listed. On collections spanning multiple pages, this information is on each page. While the pictures aren't large, they are clear. On a few of the pages, you'll find pictures of finished items. Navigation through the collection is only through the page number links at the top of every page. There is no index of which designs

So I went on an internet search for needlepoint Madonnas and found several. Designing Women has a charming small icon-like Madonna. They don't have a website, but my friend Jane stitched it awhile ago and the link is to her finished one Jane and I have also both stitched Designs by Petei's Our Lady of Guadelupe.

For Debbie Mumm lovers, there is a trick or treat series from her in several sizes that includes a fantastic Halloween house. In the style of her many Victorian and Edwardian figures, there is a Series of Fairy Tale Witches. And adding to her whimsical flowers there are some canvases in great Halloween colors. She has also added many canvases to her Seaside series, including three new starfish. But what I like best in this series is the fish. The colors are just what you would find in old color plates in
Making needlepoint kneelers for your church is a lovely project, not only beautiful, but one that can get the parish deeply involved. On this lovely summer Sunday, let's take an Internet tour of a few churches with kneeler projects. Click on the church name for the photos. Grace Cathedral, the Episcopal Cathedral in San Francisco, has a Flikr slideshow of their kneelers. Of particular interest, but not religious, are the kneelers of California wildlife. These could inspire other projects. Holy Trinity in Connecticut has a page showing the centers of their kneelers with a nice description of each symbol's significance. Church of the Redeemer in Pennsylvania, has a lovely long Communion kneeler with close-up pictures of each. St. James in Virginia has a charming set of kneelers with simple bold designs in bright colors. The white backgrounds are a nice change from the more traditional darker colors. All Souls Cathedral(Asheville,
Originally posted 2006-11-06 07:43:49. Republished by Blog Post PromoterFor a real change yesterday I waitched football most of the day and stitched. It was a wonderful, relaxing change. As a result, I finished the Petei Our Lady of Guadelupe, as you can see. I love the wonderful changes in texture which come from the different threads. The cloak, which is stitched with Fluer de Paris' Velour Fine Mesh, is particularly nice, if I do say so myself. Which reminds me, velour threads which come in little boxes can be a serious pain to use, they tend to tangle. You can minimize this pretty easily by cutting the thread before you start to stitch. Initially, when you buy it, the thread is wound in a fairly tight circle. Open this up, either by completely or partially unwinding it, and fold it over itself until you get a stitching length you like.
One of the things I loved best about my trip to England in 1998 was visiting churches and seeing all the lovely needlepoint kneelers. Kneelers is the term for the padded cushions or individual hassocks you use to protect your knees in church. If you don't have kneelers and kneel on the floor, you get "chapel knees." In England, and increasingly in the US churches do kneeler projects as a way to adorn the sanctuary. These projects involve the parish community and often interested stitchers outside the parish. Sometimes they are done for a special occasion sometimes not. The needlepoint might be only for the kneelers at the altar rail, just in the sanctuary, or for every kneeler in the church. They might have a theme, or they might only have something similar along the edges, I've seen all kinds. Recently St. Luke's Epsicopal Church in Georgia completed their kneeler

Even though he doesn't have to do science-fair projects, King George high-schooler sees a lot of value in them
King George High School freshman Taylor Courtney visits with a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. View More Images from this story Visit the Photo Place |
When Taylor Courtney told other students they should enter the science fair--voluntarily--it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out their response.
"They thought, 'No way,' not if they don't have to," he said. "They said it seemed a little boring."
But Taylor, a ninth-grader at King George High School, wants to spread the message that moments spent monitoring marigolds in Mars soil--his particular project--are worth their weight in Bunsen burners.
Participation in the school science fair is mandatory in middle school, but not in later years.
That's probably why Taylor was the only high school student from King George to enter the Piedmont Regional Science Fair in Charlottesville in March.
Two high-school students from Orange County and two from Stafford County also participated. None from Spotsylvania County's five high schools competed. Fredericksburg is not in the Piedmont region.
Taylor's entry won first place in regionals, which earned him a ticket to the Virginia State Science and Engineering Fair in Norfolk last month.
There, he won third place in earth and planetary science and was the only student from the Fredericksburg region to win an award.
Taylor's science-fair project also led to an invitation to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. During his visit, Taylor discussed his project with six scientists doing similar experiments.
"They were impressed that he thought of a project like this," said his mother, Lisa. "They said it was above his young years."
Taylor, 14, also pointed out the many scholarships available through science fairs and how good a state award looks on a college application.
And then there are the prizes.
"I won four awards at the regionals, one was a set of astronomical binoculars!" Taylor wrote in an email, his enthusiasm coming through his keyboard.
Taylor, whose mother sells Mary Kay cosmetics, and father, Curtis, works for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., did a project to determine how well flowers and vegetables might grow on the red planet.
He bought "Mars soil," dirt from a Hawaiian volcano that's similar to that on Mars. He added peat moss and soil from his backyard, potted the mixture in four containers and planted two seeds of marigolds, tomatoes, radishes and beans in each pot.

Comments about Chaco Z/1 Yampa Sandals - Women's:
I wear these the moment I come home from work to work in the garden. I wear them hiking and walking. I also wear them fishing in rivers when I don't want to put on waders. The webbing dries out in about 10 minutes.
There is little to no chaffing. The z-straps are adjustable to every need of my hobbit-like feet. This is my second pair of these sandals in that last six years. They are just so great! Plus the arch support is a must for those with flat feet. You know who you are! Socks always look styling in these. If you get the black webbing, and wear black socks, people will have to second guess themselves about you wearing socks with sandals.
For those with sweaty feet problems - again you know who you are - the ridges in the sole help keep the bottom of your foot dry. Kiss smelly feet goodbye!
Yes, they are a little pricey. However, they last for years. When I say years, I mean four or more years. That really breaks down to $25 dollars a year for a good arch and great sandal combination. I got 6 years out of my last pair and only bought a new pair because dirt had piled up in the cracks that the z-webbing wouldn't move easily.
There is no equal to this sandal.

The Saint-Martin Temple in Montbéliard is the biggest Protestant temple in France.
The Church was named Saint-Martin after Martin Luther, born on Saint Martin's day in 1483. Count Frédéric de Montbéliard, duke of Wurttemberg, decided to have it built in 1601. He appointed the architect Heinrich Schickard and travelled in Italy with him, so that the Italian style might influence the building of the imposing edifice.
The material used was white chalk from the Jura region enhanced with pink sandstone from the Alsace region.
According to the early plans, it should have been surmounted by a four-storey high tower with a protruding gallery between the third and fourth floor, topped with a pyramidal steeple. As funding became scarce, a small temporary steeple, still existing today, was paid for by church members and was inaugurated in 1677.
Not much is known about the interior arrangements, except for the remaining magnificent wood panelled ceiling, with a 17th century Italian painting, featuring the Good Shepherd, in " Tondo " style in the centre,. In 1837, a monumental organ was installed in the tribunes built in 1684. Renamed Temple of Reason during the Revolution, then used as a food store in 1870-1871, and a flour store between 1914 and 1921, the Saint-Martin temple was an impressively solemn, outsized building, that loses some of its cold atmosphere only when large crowds gather on special occasions.

Sharon Osbourne smitten with granddaughter
Sharon Osbourne says seeing her first grandchild being born was a ''life changing experience''.
The 'America's Got Talent' judge was there when son Jack and his fiancee Lisa Stelly welcomed their daughter Pearl into the world yesterday (24.04.12) and she admits she's already smitten with the tot.
Writing on her twitter page, she said: ''Today I witnessed my first grandchild being born, life changing experience. She is an angel.''
And it seems Sharon is not the only Osbourne family member to be taken with little Pearl, who weighed 8lbs 6oz.
Daughter Kelly also took to her twitter page to say how proud she was of brother Jack and future sister-in-law Lisa.
She wrote: ''thank you so much for your congratulations but they realy should be gonig to @lisamarstelly & @mrjacko! I am one proud Auntie! (sic)''
Pearl was due to enter the world last week and Sharon admitted it was a family trait to be late.
Speaking before the birth, Sharon - who also has daughter Aimee with husband Ozzy Osbourne - said: ''Like its Grandma, it's late. I'm always late and this baby is late ... It could be (born) any second.''
Sharon also said how she was happy for the baby to call her 'Shazza' as a nickname, like the rest of her family does, instead of grandma.

Medicine For People!
Dr. Rienstra,
I am so impressed with the level of research you must go through to provide the monthly newsletters Medicine-for-People. It is obvious you have a passion to provide medical information to the general public for which no strings are attached. How refreshing is this!
In this day, we are marketed beyond belief. We read and watch only to find that the underlying reason for most information is to sell something. Sometimes I feel we are in the Twilight Zone, with only a few left who can give us information that we need to prevent illness and lead a better quality life. This is not to say that doctors and those in the medical field are trying to take that away from us. I think they are in a survival mode as regulation, insurance and drug companies squeeze every bit of common sense out of them.
What you are offering via these newsletters is a service, and your expertise, experience and willingness to spend huge amounts of time in ongoing research should be compensated. I would be the first paying subscriber.
Thanks again and again,
Judy Peterson

This figure of 8 shaped route is tougher than it looks on the map. The initial climb takes you up nearly 400m! From here on, though, its downhill all the way to the halfway point of Pontsticill village. The route should only be undertaken in clear weather as this section is rather featureless and navigation can be difficult. After Pontsticill you choose between the Taff Trail forest route, or a cruise on the road alongside Pontsticill Reservoir. Now its time to go off-road and up again back to the crossing of the figure of 8. Now its down again all the way to the Usk Valley and a few kilometres on the road back to Talybont.

Is it Safe Plastic?
Going above and beyond |
PLA is approved by the FDA for use in food packaging. But we've gone well beyond legal requirements to uphold our commitment to consumer safety. We hired Pure Strategies, an independent scientific consulting firm, to develop a list of potentially dangerous additives like BPA, phthalates, carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxins, and endocrine disruptors, and we signed a contract that prohibits our supplier from using them. We also routinely test the plastic to ensure compliance.

UpFront say
"We are the mums from Up Front Launceston. Together we run two breastfeeding groups in our town. We aim to provide mum to mum support and encouragement, access to up to date evidence based information about infant feeding and plenty of tea, coffee and snacks. Our aims are to help enable mums in our towm to breastfeed for as long as they want to, however long or short a time that is, and to help to make breastfeeding normal in our town. We are always looking for ways to make ourselves more sustainable and selling t shirts is one such venture."
The t-shirts are pale pink and long sleeved with a round neck.
Small: shoulder width: 35cm

This turkey chili is very tasty. My husband doesn't like ground turkey, onions or celery, and he doesn't even know these ingredients are in the chili. He told me yesterday, "Wow honey, this is the best batch of chili you've ever made!"

This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!Submitted by: MISSRED1970
I love this salad at Applebee's. I knew I had to find a way to make it better for you. This is does not have as much of a kick but is almost half the fat and calories.Submitted by: MELRAE2
Very easy, very healthy, and MUCH more flavorful than other low-fat chili recipes! Don't be scared away by the longer list of ingredients. All of the spices are dried, easy-to-use, and you probably already have them in your pantry. The few extra minutes are WORTH it!Submitted by: RAMOSS1

A Flock of Shoes
by Sarah Tsiang
illustrated by Qin Leng
Where do Abby's sandals go in the winter time?
Abby loves her pink and brown sandals with the lime green trim, and she wears them wherever she goes. But as summer draws to a close, Abby's mom announces that it's time for the sandals to go. Abby is determined to keep them on -- until one day, while swinging at the park, her sandals flip off and fly away.
All winter long, Abby wonders what her sandals are up to. Postcards of sandy white beaches and glorious sunsets reassure her that they are having a wonderful time in far away places.
Come February, Abby realizes that she has also grown to love her cozy, comfy boots. As the warm weather comes, she watches sadly as they march off, but a swish in the sky announces the return of her pink and brown sandals -- all ready for another summer of fun.
Full of whimsy, this circular tale is enhanced by rich, evocative language and delicate illustrations that are sure to delight any young child.
close this panelSarah Tsiang's work has appeared in numerous literary journals. She lives in Kingston, Ontario, where she teaches college and enrichment students.
Qin Leng is an award-winning animator and illustrator. She lives in Toronto, Ontario.
close this panelThis amusing tale that finally explains where shoes go in the off season is great fun.
Front Yard Gardens is a nicely detailed book with beautiful photographs, full of great ideas for people looking not only to replace lawn with gardens, but to improve existing gardens.
This whimsical story filled with charming watercolors will warm the hearts of small children while teaching them a valuable lesson.
The grass may always be greener on the other side of the fence, but the beautiful layouts presented in this book may just persuade you to do away with the front lawn altogether. First published in 2003 and updated in 2010 it offers a new perspective on the front yard, an often-under-used landscape. Ideas include on the cottage garden, Texas-style, English gardens and more.
The art is wonderful...and the text is amazingly and beautifully poetic.
We all found this story...adorable. [It] is an endearing read for any child 2-6.
This whimsical tale is sure to beguile anyone who has ever outgrown a much-loved pair of shoes.
Sarah Tsiang does a wonderful job depicting just how connected a child can be with a piece of clothing and Quin Leng's watercolour illustrations compliment the warmth of the story. The story of summer shoes needing to go away somewhere warm is a delightful way to look at seasonal items.
What happens to sandals during winter? In Abby's case, her favorite pink and brown flip flops fly right off of her feet and join a flock of migrating birds heading for warmer climates. While her sandals send her postcards of sandy beaches and palm trees from far off places -- writing that "we miss you to the bottom of our soles" -- Abby learns to love stomping through the snow in her fuzzy purple and blue boots. But, when spring comes again, Abby's boots hop aboard the Northbound Express as her favourite sandals fall from the sky, ready for another summer of fun. Sarah Tsiang's text is both whimsical and minimalist, perfectly punctuated by Qin Leng's watercolor illustrations. This imaginative, circular story is not only fun and easily relatable for children between ages two and seven, but a pleasure for parents as well.
We all found this story...adorable. [It] is an endearing read for any child 2-6.
Tsiang's text is a delight to read, with a gentle poetic rhythm. Highly recommended.
This is a fun and engaging story, touched with humour and a lot of magic.
Tsiang's simple yet evocative language will engage young listeners... Leng's depiction of Abby's world...is magical.
OLA Best Bets for Children 2010. Abby's sandals are pink and brown with lime green trim. They are perfect for running and jumping and making tracks in the sand. But when summer is over Mum says they are worn out and it's time for them to go. Abby disagrees but the sandals take matters into their own hands, flying away to the south like birds. Soon unhappy Abby learns to love her blue and white boots with purple trim. Until one sunny spring day... Young readers will delight in this nonsensical story about Abby and her faithful footwear.
This is possibly the first picture book on shoe migration, an idea that imaginative children will find nearly believable and wholly satisfying. This is possibly the first picture book on shoe migration, an idea that imaginative children will find nearly believable and wholly satisfying.

The Finish Line With Yasmin..
When thinking of independent women within the music industry, a few names instantly spring to mind. One that may not be the first to roll off the tongue is Yasmin, but the 'Finish Line' singer doesn't fall anywhere short of independence. I had the pleasure of catching up with Yasmin to discuss, life, love and Lyrics and to my welcoming I surely found out why she was so determined to 'Make it on her own' (see what I did there)
Yasmin fast became one of this years most mentioned names on the scene and after a series of packed festival performances this summer at home and in the Balearics was also a support act for No.1 artist Example on his recent tour. Impressively notching up a MOBO nomination for Best Newcomer at the 2011 awards, along with presenting an award Yasmin has recently returned from supporting Snoop Dogg on his recent UK tour dates.
Stylishly clad in a long white shirt- dress and the most impressive leopard print platforms I've seen this season, Yasmin broke down her new single Light Up (The World) which is set to be released on January 15th 2012 – an old school, reggae infused carnival jam – featuring the legendary drum'n'bass and jungle maestro Shy FX and Ms. Dynamite which had the video filmed in the beautiful setting of Cuba.
"The aim of the track is to portray and evoke that happiness you get every time you hear a track and it instantly makes you smile. The type you can listen to on a sad day and have your spirits lifted, hence why Cuba was the perfect location for this. Although it did rain for a duration during the video's shooting, the sun did take his hat off and provide the rays of sunshine to make for the most beautiful setting.."
Working with Shy FX in the past, Yasmin instantly felt a vibe when working on the track and although already scorching hot, agreed with there being one thing missing. That one thing was music veteran Ms Dynamite. In true Dynamite style, the track is instantly turned many notches higher, giving that carnival vibe even more life. Moving on Yasmin discussed her adoration for artists such as Katy B, the incredible Sbtrkt, Wretch 32 described as an amazing lyricist, Ed Sheran described as having the best albums of the year hands down, and more, and highlighted that any future projects, regardless whom with would be music worth listening to. Having too many to name and not enough popping to mind being put on the spot, rounding up Yasmin explained there are loads of people she rates highly within music and would like to work with in the future as long as it is guaranteed to be fresh, and exciting.
"As a female artist, there is always a pressure but there are positive aspects that guys don't benefit from. Superficially, as a woman if you wear a nice outfit, you get noticed and extra points. As a DJ, there was a lot of things people would put me down about being a female but when it came to getting a gig, I would most likely get it.. I don't think the negatives outweigh the positives"
When asked what we could be expecting in the new year, Yasmin gushed happily about the acoustic sessions she has recently recorded and also her forthcoming album. When asked about a set date for release Yasmin explained that when writers block kicks in you just need to get on with it and let it pass, hence why there is no date set for the album as of yet. Highly anticipating getting back out and performing at live shows (including HMV's next big thing in February) and with festival season always around the corner, Yasmin will also be working on her visuals a lot more than before, developing ideas and being more hands on in front and behind the cameras. 2012 sure looks set for a female takeover especially if Yasmin is at the forefront.
"I am extremely focused on my career and as much as there is a significant other newly on the scene at the moment, its not something I depend on to get by day by day, its nice having someone there to understand, but I am also comfortable alone, doing me.."
Yasmin "Light Up (The world )" is out 15 January Levels ent/Ministry Sounds

Flemington, NJ, July 31, 2009 – A new national media study among 602 Americans reveals that 68% feel that there should not be a tax placed on foods higher in fat.
The study was conducted by HCD Research using its MediaCurves.com® website during July 30-31, to obtain viewers' perceptions of a video discussion of whether a tax should be placed on fattening foods, and whether obese individuals should pay higher insurance costs.
The study also revealed that 76% of viewers feel that the rise in medical costs has been moderately or highly impacted by the increase in obesity and obesity-related conditions. Only 3% of viewers feel that the increase in obesity rates has not affected the rise in medical costs. While 48% of viewers think obese individuals should pay higher insurance premiums, 52% disagree with this concept.
