I decided to put a couple of videos up on Youtube, but because my main account is full of dancing videos (I'm a self taught amateur belly dancer!) I thought I'd create a new one specifically for this blog. There's not much on there at the moment but I'm hoping to put some fun and interesting things up soon :). Feel free to subscribe and I'll return the favour. Youtube is so much fun! :)
I wish I could live in the bath! (& a small face mask review)
I think I must have been a mermaid in a previous life or something because I'm completely unable to go a day without having a bath. I shower every morning without fail and even though it probably seems a bit excessive to have a bath every day as well as a shower, I can't help it, I'm completely addicted!
Last night I had the most awesome bath known to man. I poured a cup of milk into the water (I'm turning into Cleopatra according to my friends) and used a strawberry facemask that smelt edible. Then I chilled out in the bath and read some of my new book (The bed I made by Lucie Whitehouse)
Montagne Jeunesse are well known for their face masks - they're literally in every supermarket and drug store, often arranged on a rack with loads of pretty eye-catching designs and titles that just scream out to be eaten (don't laugh! I've often been tempted to eat the fudge sauna mask!)
I decided to try out the Strawberry Souffle mask this time round because it's summer and I love the scent of strawberries. This mask cost me 99p from Tescos which is a total bargain :). It applies like any normal mask, you just clean your face with plain water, dry your skin and apply the product to your face with your fingers. There's a lot in the packet so I applied it to my neck as well. The product claims "loaded with strawberry goodness which leaves skin hydrated and refreshed, allowing your skin to breathe with soothing aloe vera and calming vanilla for purified, toned, smoother skin. Cleanse with this treat weekly". The mask smells divine, really fresh and packed full of strawberries and cream. I left the mask on for about 20 - 25 minutes whilst I relaxed in the bath and tried to resist the temptation to attempt to lick it off my face, lol. After I washed it off I could definitely feel a difference - my skin was a lot smoother and any dry patches had been eliminated, plus the mask has a lingering scent which meant I could still smell strawberries when I went to sleep, which was nice.
My favourite Montagne Jeunesse mask is still the fudge sauna one, simply because it heats up when it comes into contact with water and it smells AMAZING, literally amazing! but the Strawberry Souffle one is pretty damn good too and will do wonders for your skin if it's quite dry.
What are your favourite face masks?

My favourite items
My wardrobe is a treasure trove of random items, I find it tough to throw anything out so I still have all sorts in there, even my super sparkly prom dress from seven years ago! fortunately I have two bedrooms (a tad excessive perhaps, lol, but I have far too much stuff to keep in one room) and my second bedroom has a walk in wardrobe, so I keep the clothes I wear most frequently in there.
I thought I'd document some of my most favourite items and tell you why I love them so much.
This pic is from when I was 20, I'd been doing modelling since my mid-teens but I really love this one pic because of the dress :) I still have this dress and I don't wear it as often as I should. I tend to stick to quite muted colours normally (lots of black!) so I'm completely in love with this red dress due to the vibrancy of it, plus it makes me feel happy :) (dress from a boutique)

A little OOTD post
I'm pretty much just posting this because I'm in love with my shoes and tights, but I thought rather than post endless pictures of my shoes I'd turn it into a little OOTD post :)
Forgive my weird expressions, I was playing around in the garden and it was quite bright! lol. The top is from Miss Selfridge, it's dark brown (bit weird that I bought it considering I don't tend to wear brown) but I love the lace at the neck and sleeves.
Just a quick explanation about the plasters - I had to have blood tests the other day and my inner elbow is all bruised and sore, so I've been covering it up with plasters (weirdly plasters seem to stop it hurting, it's probably the pressure)
I bought the skirt from Topshop - I pretty much live in little black skirts although recently I've begun worrying that I'm too old to wear mini skirts now (I know I'm probably not, but I worry about it all the same! lol).
Now my favourite bit of the outfit :) the tights and shoes! I honestly can't remember where I bought these tights from, but I love them to bits, whenever I wear them people always seem to come up to me and say "I love your tights!" which is a little bit odd but nice of them! lol. The shoes are from New Look - which in my eyes is the best place to buy shoes on a budget. I must have hundreds of pairs of shoes and a vast majority come from New Look, purely because their prices are great, who can stick their nose up at a pair of shoes that cost between £20 - £25 and last for ages? I've been buying shoes from New Look for years and years and I've never had a pair break on me yet (*touch wood*)
I love these shoes because they're so understated and can be worn with pretty much anything really. The scuffed effect makes them look vintage and a bit retro and I really like the two straps :)

Every day makeup looks
I realised earlier that I've never actually posted a picture of my every day makeup look before. I tend to go for quite a basic look - semi smokey eyes, pink lips & soft sheeny foundation / blush. The main focus is often on my eyebrows, which I like to keep quite dark and dramatic. I'm also a total mascara addict and will apply around 3 coats in order to get my lashes to bulk up.
I like wearing nude / natural colours on my lid and then I tend to contour the shape of my eye with a darker shade of brown to accentuate :) The products I use on a daily basis are as follows -
1) Boijous kohl and contour eyeliner in black
2) Estee Lauder magnoscoptic mascara
3) Urban Decay primer potion
4) Urban Decay eyeshadows in midnight cowboy rides again, sell out and oilslick
5) Bare Minerals foundation in fair
6) Bare Minerals GLEE all over face colour
7) Benefit Highbeam highlighter
8) Too Faced Lip injection
9) Bare Minerals Bavarian Creme lipstick
10) Bareminerals precision eyeliner brush (I use this for the ends of my eyebrows)
11) Bareminerals angled brow brush (used to fill in the wider sections of my brows)

Crazy hair! the perils of split ends
I'm a bit of a bohemian, I like things to be laid back and relaxed and my hair is a perfect example of this. I used to be a slave to my GHD straighteners.. until my best friend Becky trod on them, so I bought some more - desperate to maintain my sleek and poker straight mane, but after a couple of weeks she trod on them too., lol. After two pairs of GHDs being massacred by my accident prone best friend, I thought I'd see if I could cope without them. That was about 4 years ago and I'm still hair straightener free!
My hair is naturally quite wavy and these days I tend to just wash and go, no mucking around with electrical appliances (to be honest I'm just too lazy!) but because my hair is so long now and I haven't had it cut for over 7 months, it's prone to looking quite frizzy and icky, which is where my hair life saving products come into play.
Charles Worthington no frizz flawless finishing cream
This product is my ultimate lifesaver, where I used to rely on straighteners to combat the frizz, I now just smooth a little bit of this through my hair when it's dry and it leaves my hair feeling like silk - all the split ends are disguised and my hair looks sleek and shiny, yet still wavy and bohemian. It's no hassle whatsoever and doesn't leave a greasy feel which is always good.I tend to spritz a little bit of this on after I've used the Charles Worthington finishing cream just to give extra protection against the dulling effect split ends can give the hair. Just like the Worthington cream, this spray isn't greasy and doesn't leave a heavy residue on the hair, it just leaves my hair looking shiny and healthy, but still lets me keep my wavy natural hair style.
Lee Stafford spray shine, shine head
Lee Stafford spray shine, shine head
Both of these products are fantastic and I use them pretty much on a daily basis. Without them I'd probably have to give in and purchase another pair of GHDs just to keep my hair looking healthy and gleaming.

Accidental Hiatus!
Oops! it appears as though I went on an accidental hiatus for a while there, I'm back now though :) yay!
Quite a lot has happened in the past couple of months... I went to Download (as I mentioned in the post below) and it was AMAZING, I also won a competition to present my own show on Download FM on the Sunday which was great. Sadly it rained loads on Sunday during and after Billy Idol, so I was soaked for my show, but it was great fun :) staying in VIP camping was awesome too - proper toilets (with sinks and soap!!) and hot showers and it only took us about 2 minutes to get into the arena from our tent, lol, we literally just wandered into the hospitality entrance and then into the arena past the main stage, good times! :) overall it was a fantastic weekend (highlights being - AC/DC, Rage against the machine, Cinderella, Slash, Saxon, Billy Idol and Aerosmith)
A couple of weeks after Download the lease on our flat in Aldgate East came up (one of my flatmates has gone travelling around India for a year so we had to cancel our contract early) so Dan and I moved back to Suffolk. I was sad to leave London as I have loads of happy memories of being there, but I'm a country girl at heart so being back in Suffolk is great - so many trees, fields and animals! plus we're surrounded by beaches (which has been super handy given the heat wave we've had recently)
The main news though is that I now have a wonderful boyfriend... Dan! yes, my best friend Dan and I decided to stop messing around and actually get together. We've been best friends for 6 years and something has always been there but I only just realised. I literally woke up one morning and thought "Omg... I love him!" so we had a heart to heart and decided to get together :) we're blissfully happy and I've never felt this way about someone before, so completely relaxed and at ease, he's amazing and I feel so lucky to have realised how much he means to me :) we've lived together for a year already in London, so we did things kind of backwards really, lol... but we're looking to move into a cottage in rural Suffolk soon :)

I'm going to High Voltage festival this weekend coming up which will be great! and we're staying in a 5 star hotel over the weekend too, woo, exciting times! :D
I'm going to work on some review posts and things now, I just wanted to keep you all updated as to what I've been up to recently, hope you're all well :)

Public input sought for Storm Surge Suppression Study
The Gulf Coast Community Protection and Recovery District (GCCPRD) will host a series of public scoping meetings in December 2014 to encourage public participation and feedback in the Storm Surge Suppression Study.
Following three major hurricanes, the last of which (Hurricane Ike) was the most expensive in Texas' history, Governor Perry issued an Executive Order creating the Governor's Commission for Disaster Recovery and Renewal. One of the Commission's recommendations was to conduct a study to determine how coastal communities can reduce the damage impact of future storms. In conjunction with that recommendation, Brazoria, Chambers, Galveston, Harris, Jefferson, and Orange Counties formed the GCCPRD as a local government corporation. The GCCPRD is now leading the Storm Surge Suppression Study, a technical, scientific-based effort to investigate opportunities to alleviate the vulnerability of the upper Texas coast to storm surge and flooding.
The study is funded by the Texas General Land Office through a $3.9 million federal Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant that was awarded in September 2013. Since then, the GCCPRD has been collecting and analyzing existing data, and collaborating with other organizations and universities conducting similar work. The Storm Surge Suppression Study will yield a system of alternatives that may consist of a variety of natural, structural, and nonstructural methods. Using these findings, the GCCPRD will recommend a cost-effective and efficient system of flood damage reduction and surge suppression measures to help protect the six-county region. This effort is an opportunity for the GCCPRD to assume a leadership role and work collaboratively with federal, state, local, and public and private institutions to develop a plan that meets the needs of the region and the nation.
Public feedback and participation will be encouraged throughout the duration of the study. Public scoping meetings will be held on the following dates and locations:
December 4, 2014
6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
League City Civic Center
400 West Walker St.
League City, Texas 77573
December 9, 2014
6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Harris County Precinct 2 J.D. Walker Community Center
7613 Wade Rd.
Baytown, Texas 77521
December 11, 2014
6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Jefferson County Courthouse
Jury Impaneling Room
1001 Pearl St.
Beaumont, Texas 77701
Materials, presentation, and format will be the same at all three meetings. The open houses will last from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Informational displays will be available for public viewing, and GCCPRD representatives will provide information and answer questions. No formal presentation will be made. Materials will be available in English and Spanish.
If hearing impaired or language translation services are needed, please contact the GCCPRD consulting team at 713-868-1043 or at firstname.lastname@example.com by November 26, 2014. GCCPRD representatives will make every reasonable effort to accommodate these needs.
Comments will be accepted at the public scoping meetings and throughout the duration of the study. Written comments may be mailed to the Gulf Coast Community Protection and Recovery District in care of Col. Christopher Sallese at 3100 West Alabama St., Houston, Texas 77098 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Are You Exfoliating Correctly?
Using a face scrub may seem straightforward, but it turns out, there's a right and wrong way to rid your face of dead skin cells. From the order that you apply a scrub with your other products, to the pressure you apply, there's more to it than meets the eye.
To get the scoop on the best way to use the exfoliator in your medicine cabinet, we asked Beverly Hills-based esthetician Gina Mari to take a break from clients like Heidi Klum and Famke Janssen to answer our burning questions.
Click through our slideshow for expert tips to get the most out of your face scrub!
GM: Exfoliating with a face scrub is an extremely effective way to slough off dead skin cells. When the skin is not properly exfoliated, dead skin cells will "stack up" and give your complexion a dull appearance. Pigmented areas will appear darker, and fine lines and wrinkles will seem deeper. Plus, when the skin is exfoliated, it will be more prepared for serums and moisturizers to penetrate properly.
GM: This is completely dependent on the individual's skin type. Our skin changes day to day due to changing hormone levels, therefore your routine may change. I believe it is important to have an open dialogue with your esthetician or dermatologist to discuss the frequency that's right for you. [Editor's Note: In the meantime, start with once a week.]
GM: I recommend a stronger scrub, like Ayur-Medic's Anti-Bacterial Wash ($27) for acne-prone skin, and their Orange Blossom Exfoliant Scrub ($27) for normal skin. AmorePacific has a wonderful Treatment Enzyme Peel ($60) that has powder-y granules that turns into a paste with warm water, which is great for all skin types. If your skin is extremely delicate, I recommend a pumpkin exfoliant or a papaya enzyme peel that doesn't contain actual granulated beads. [Editor's Note: try the Resurfacing Mask ($55) from Tata Harper]

Know Your Rights
Knowledge is power. As educators we know that, and try to teach it. All too often though, we don't even know the rights we have on the job — rights to professional and fair treatment and to working conditions that help make a tough job more doable. The totality of these rights has been negotiated in a give-and-take process with management (the Department of Education and the City of New York) over half a century. Some chancellors have wanted to work with the union, and with them we've been able to forge greater professionalism for our members (see, for example, Articles 7 and 8 of our contract) and others have wanted to strip our members of the wherewithal to do their job.
But the contract is no more than words on paper if it is not used. Unless members exercise their rights and raise their voices, unless we demand fairness, oppose arbitrariness and speak out when we believe it is in the best interests of our students, our voice will fade to a whisper. So it's important to become familiar with your rights and benefits, and use them. When teachers are respected, students benefit.
These rights, listed alphabetically, have been explicated in an easy-to-read style. It is by no means exhaustive and can't substitute for reading your contract (and the many arbitrations that have interpreted it), as well as some hard-fought laws, such as on tenure.
If you have a question or need help, do not hesitate to ask your UFT chapter leader or call your UFT borough office, where there are experts on different topics to advise you.

When you dive into the body you uncover truth beyond what you know, and in doing so you access the vastness and depth of the human potential.
When you dive into the body you uncover truth beyond what you know, and in doing so you access the vastness and depth of the human potential.
Dominique Sire leads people to discover and master the landscape of their inner lives. For almost 30 years, Dominique has created acclaimed workshops and private sessions for thousands of clients around the world, guiding them to places within themselves that need to be transformed so that they discover the greatness of who they are and the gift of what it is to be human.
Dominique has conducted seminars and talks for groups from 4 to 400 people. She has developed over 50 distinct workshops, working with men and women from a diversity of backgrounds and vocations - artists, scientists, doctors, teachers, therapists, and executives.
Watch Dominique's TEDx talk : The Passion of Living in a Fearless Body
When accessed our body becomes an alchemist that can transform any internal obstacle into power.
When accessed our body becomes an alchemist that can transform any internal obstacle into power.
Relationships are intrinsic to life. In the natural world everything that exists is in relationship to something else and vice versa. We as human beings in the same way are simultaneously in relationship to ourselves and to others and it is unnatural to try to cultivate one separately from the other to achieve a state of wholeness and happiness. This simple truth creates a paradox because it is also true that to have healthy relationships with others the entry point will always begin with being in a healthy relationship with oneself.
Our inner self, like the natural world, has its own unique and complicated landscape encompassing many different and unique elements for each one of us. Therefore Self love is only possible when all these different aspects of the Self are in balance harmoniously with one another which in turn inevitably becomes reflected outwardly with all our relationships with others, from the most mundane to the most intimate. For this to become an embodied reality in our lives we must choose to go beyond what we consciously know and understand about ourselves and dive into the body to discover our own inner landscape and explore it with rigorous love and commitment.
I have always said, when people ask me about Dominique Sire, that she is one in a million, once in a lifetime. She is a woman of rare and extraordinary gifts. Her wisdom, intelligence, and depth have provided me with everything I've needed for this enduring quest to live and to understand the following burning pillars of my life: relationships, love, power and sex. She has taken me to the edge of myself and then beyond. Given the state of affairs on the planet, she and her work are needed now more than ever. If you have a chance to work with Dominique, I urge you to jump into the opportunity, grab it with both hands and go for it with all that you have. Then, experience your life unfold as you become something more than you could ever imagine.
To be human is to go on the ultimate odyssey of love and our body is the only place where this mysterious tale can unfold to reveal to us who we really are.

Sexuality Workshop
How would you feel if no one in the world was attracted to you?
Could you still feel your own valuableness, attractiveness and sexuality?
Sexuality is not about anyone else, or how you look or what you do in bed. In this workshop you will learn that it is rather an energy within you that must be experienced and owned by you alone first, before it can be truly expressed with another.
As you feel the power that comes from no longer being dependent on anything outside of yourself you will feel the birthplace of your personal power….You will access the core of your creativity.
To stand firmly anchored into your Self, is to be anchored within your soul. Sexuality is the energetic Fire that is the fabric of your soul. Sexual energy is where lies your integrity. It is the energy that allows you to learn conscious responding instead of unconscious reacting to the events and people in your life.
It is the intelligence of your instinctual self. It is the energy that is indispensable to give you the power to participate in all your relationships from the safety and freedom of your vulnerability and create appropriate boundaries with ease. It is the transformative energy of life because it is your life force. It is the fire that gives your heart strength and support. And it is the essence of your personal uniqueness and charisma.
The Women's Workshop
Access your own feminine power as you reclaim and experience the deepest essence of being a woman. Throughout this two-day workshop, Domi will guide us to explore the female essence that resides within each of us and will show how this knowledge and power are inherent gifts that can never be taken away.
Domi's unique, movement-based method is designed to dive into the mystery of your Self and discover what is at the core of your soul. Together, we will discover and own the full power of our feminine self and the authentic strength within us that defines our own greatness.
Warrior Intensive
Our ego is a resourceful con artist, relentlessly trying to persuade us that it is our true self.
Our ego is a resourceful con artist, relentlessly trying to persuade us that it is our true self.
Through Dominique's work, I have learned to be more effective and creative in my work and my personal life. She is a master at communicating creative concepts. Because of her keen intuition and understanding of human nature she's able to empower both the artist and the human being simultaneously to access their artistry.
On a personal level, I have become more aware of and connected to my own true power and creativity. Dominique has changed my life forever.
Dominique is unlike anyone I've ever met. She has an extraordinary ability to see you - the real you, the essence of who you are - and in doing so, she helps you reconnect with your true self. Domi is charismatic, playful, funny, genuine, non-judgmental and absolutely delights in her work. She approaches each person and each situation with curiosity, wonder and love.
Every encounter with Domi feels like your favorite ride at Disneyland.
Dominique's work has touched me and others deeply, it has ignited in us the courage and hunger for our own greatness. This greatness is coupled with humility, moving those who experience Dominique's work to get out into the world to make a tangible difference.
Unlike those who act only on what is happening to them, or who get buried in the pain of the world, as a result of her work I can feel the pain and act in a way that makes a difference. My life since meeting her shows this. Imagine how the world could change if more people understood the power of their humanness and humanity.
Her work offers a world view in which transformation is not only possible, but also our natural birthright. She gives us a way to embrace the parts of ourselves that we once judged or feared, and in so doing to claim our authentic wholeness. This shift doesn't ask us to deny or transcend our humanity, but rather to celebrate our capacity to live as fully embodied human beings within the world. The vision she offers is exciting, transformative, and imminently practical.
Bottom line — it works!

MONTREAL — O.L. Entertainment's Hard X studio has announced the upcoming release of its wild blowbang title, "Facialized" on Feb. 12.
Mason-directed "Facialized" stars Veruca James, AJ Applegate, Ariana Marie and Veronica Avluv in four intense bukake-type scenes. Marie, a blowbang virgin, tests the waters with six guys. James, Applegate and Avluv take on ten guys at a time — each ending in a facial extravaganza.
"Mason's 'Facialized' is proof-positive that she is making some of her best movies to date, a look at the trailer is enough to realize that," O.L. Entertainment President Claude Hyppolite said. "Fans have been asking for her blowbang series release, and this film will exceed all expectations."
As some fan's eagerly noted on the HardX blog, the inclusion of Vol.1in the title suggests that the series will be ongoing.
To check out the hardcore trailer for "Facialized," click here. The film is slated to release on DVD Feb. 12.
O.L. Entertainment is the recently launched network of adult content between industry powerhouses Mile High Media and Gamma Entertainment.
In contrast to its sister studio, Erotica X, movies from Hard X include the "wildest, kinkiest and dirtiest sex," O.L. said

Good day to all.
Yes it is Friday. Hopefully everyone survived the US non-farm payroll.
The EUR/USD dipped sharply and tested the 1.3600 line. While 1.3740 did present a support of sorts as mentioned yesterday, the negative sentiment overwhelmed the defenders.
The S&P 500 continues falling despite the improved unemployment rate of the US. This strengthens the view that the current correction is caused by global problems.
Oil falls below $70 and this is a cause for concern. As oil can be a clue to the global economy's health, a break down may indeed be occurring should it fail to snap back above $70 soon.
Gold has fallen to $1050+, a level unseen since OCT 09. The pressure from the strengthening US Dollar is strong and close observation must be done to see if gold falls below this area of support.
While the US unemployment rate became better, the non-farm payroll clocked in worst than expected. The unemployment problem remains a threat and with the current correction underway, i am concerned that it may put a strain on the labor market again.
Over at the Eurozone, the problems of Greece, Spain and Portugal continue to weight down the sentiments like an anchor to a ship.
G7 meetings will occur over the weekend and hence do be careful of possible volatility over the weekend.
As the market prepares for the closure of the week, bullish pressure may bring us closer to 1.3680 while continued bearish momentum may target 1.3550. If momentum fails to pick up, we will probably close the week near 1.3600. Stay tune for the EUR/USD Weekly Review and the Non-Farm Payroll Report over the weekends.
It is the weekend and i need to catch up on my sleep. Anyway i did not get a migraine this morning and hence this week will not be remembered as "Migraine Week." A koala buddy of mine was telling me that a newcomer to forex had his account reduced from $5000 to $900 in just 9 days. Am sad to hear this. Sigh. Is there anything else we can do to make folks realize the dangers of margin call?

Geraldine "Geri" Alice Petris, age 84, Tyrone/Dundee, was received into Glory after a valiant battle with her last illness on Wednesday July 19, 2017 at the Homestead, in Penn Yan.
Respecting her wishes there are no prior calling hours. A funeral honoring her life will be held at 10am Friday July 28th at the Waneta Lake Baptist Chapel, 8855 West Waneta Lake Road with Pastor Adam Hunt officiating; burial and committal services directly after the service, at the Tyrone Union Cemetery in Tyrone.
Memorial contributions honoring her life may be given to the Mustard Seed ministries @ the Weston Schoolhouse, P.O. Box 73, Tyrone NY 14887.
"Geri" was born in Nunda, NY on June 1, 1933 to George William and Josephine Margaret (Haldeman) Withey. She was the 2nd of five children. She was 20 years young, while visiting her older sister Shirley; she walked down the road to the Petris Farm and asked John Petris if he would teach her how to milk cows. Within a few short weeks, they were married by Rev. Ben Disbrow in Dundee and on their way to New York City for a week long honeymoon. Upon returning, she assumed this responsibility for 35 years until they retired from dairy farming in 1988. Geri was the perfect wife, herdswoman, business Partner, and mother. The Petris Farm was a "busy beehive" during the summer harvest months with relatives and friends pitching in. Geri always unloaded the hay to the boys in the mow. Mary Litteer always said no one could unload wagons faster than Geri Petris.
In 1952 "Geri" decided to help in the Korean War conflict and was employed by Mercury Aircraft and worked there until 1957. She enjoyed Otto and Carl Kohl and her manager Harry Saltzman, would visit and land his plane on the Petris Farm.
She was a member of the Weston Presbyterian Church throughout her adult life and was very active in many aspects of the ministry. She was very close to the Allen, Bailey, Barker, Carpenter, DeCamp, Disbrow, Dykes, Grace, Litteer, Saunders, Skeleton, Steiner, and Families with Jackie Steiner being her "Spiritual Sister." Geri also ministered at the Mustard Seed Ministries, food pantries, and participated in many bible studies around the area. She enjoyed very much the Presbytery of Geneva meetings which she attended for many years. She enjoyed making many craft projects at Home Bureau with her very good friends, Judi Robertson, Joyce Perry, and Kay Couse. Judi Robertson called her "A Great Lady." Geri also had a great love for the trust group in Bath and attended it whenever she could. Her great love was always visiting and ministering to all her friends and family and giving of herself. After retiring from milking cows in 1988, she had spare time to pursue new interests. Geri decided since she was never able to finish school, having quit in the 10th grade, she would go back to School and obtain her high school diploma which she did in the early 1990's. After this, she took an interest in town politics and in the late 1990's she became the first councilwoman for the Town of Tyrone. She retired from her position after serving nearly four terms. She was a mentor to many who worked on the Petris Farm. Many of these young people have returned and thanked her for the wisdom and instruction she shared with them. After suffering an illness in 2012, she became somewhat homebound and enjoyed many visits from her good friends; J. Robert Allen, Randy Andrews, Cliffy Perry, Gary Oborne, Doug Combs, Robert Wylie, Cubby and Harold Gerow and John and Pam Grimmke.
She is pictured with Mike Wolfe in 2015 when he and Frank Fritz of the TV show American Pickers visited the Petris Farm for two days and Mike Wolfe called her "Honey" as so many did throughout her life.
She is sadly missed by her husband of nearly 65 years, John Sr.; son Johnnie both at home; daughters Mary (Lonnie) Chappell and Kathy Petris of Springfield Massachusetts; sisters Shirley Buchanan of Wayland, and Florence "Pat" Hagadorn of Sun City Center, Florida; four grandchildren, Miquel, Kya, Alexis, and Alon as well as several nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by not only her parents, but a brother Farley Earl Withey, and a sister Mary "mar-mar" Jean Gross.
Arrangements are entrusted to the Baird Funeral Home 36 Water St. Dundee. To leave online condolences to the family please visit bairdfuneralhomedundee.com

Please take a look at my newest Mayor's summer, 2018 Newsletter for the city of Oak Grove, MN.
Please take a look at my newest Mayor's spring, 2018 Newsletter for the city of Oak Grove, MN. I try to convey my thoughts on leadership, values and issues that affect us all in some way throughout everyday life. Thanks for reading!!!
Have a great day!
They pulled me up from the deep when I jumped in.
Here are some pictures of Mayor Mark Korin and the Sheriffs posse at the Polar Plunge.
This is my latest newsletter for the City of Oak Grove, MN. I wrote this LONG before the political caucus turnout disaster. Whether it's volunteers for a city celebration or supporting political ideology or a great candidate it's a major problem. No one, let me rephrase that, very few people in today's culture change or alter their schedule to focus on a "cause" outside of their immediate personal view. "Times they are a changin"…… and people wonder why our candidates don't inspire, that we have low turn outs and we have more "Let them do that" ideals……..
If it is such a great regional model, why after 50 years is still the only one in the country?
Look what was at the Oak Grove city council meeting!! Thanks goes out to Ron and Susan Herman for the fantastic birthday cake and All the ice cream from Council member Paul Tradewell!!!
Okay they did it to me again. They talked me into taking a leap of faith. It's for a good cause. Hopefully this time I come up alive. I joined the Anoka County Sheriff's posse. Please click on the image to donate. It all goes to a great cause for the Minnesota Special Olympics.
When I asked the residents to elect me to be their Mayor I made 3 major promises.
1. Run the city like a business.
2. Restructure and get the best operation I can for the lowest tax dollars.
3. Eliminate Met Councils reign of terror over our 2600 acres...
It's great when all my goals for my residents come true. Have a great 2018. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
After more than 10 years of hard work, 2017 ends on a high note in the city of Oak Grove for our residents. We got our city back!
This is what happens when a true conservative mayor along with 2 other city council members have a mission and stand for private sector values in government operations. The one video is our budget hearing the other is a discussion on what it took to get here over the past 8 years.
Four times a year I have an opportunity to share my thoughts on different topics as the Mayor for the city of Oak Grove, MN. This is the most recent Article for the Fall 2017 Oak Grove Newsletter! Have a GREAT DAY!
Some insights into the taxation process and why this lower taxation in Oak Grove is monumental to achieve!
Good afternoon Friends….. Anyone that tells you that a government operation can't be run like a private sector business is WRONG!!! Real conservative leadership and a strong commitment from our ENTIRE City staff is showing that it does work and works VERY WELL!! It's great when a 7 year plan can continue on! LOOK AT THE 2018 CHART! We, In Oak Grove, Minnesota are AGAIN THE LOWEST TAXED CITY IN ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA!!! Our fifth year of ZERO Percent levy increases to our residents!!!! More to come!!!

- Started early with a drive to the Oak Grove, Minnesota, Acorn Day festival ! MORE TO COME!
- What a nice drive!
- A first !!!! Anoka County Sheriff's department drone demonstration!!!
- This was the start to the Acorn day festival!
- This is the beginning of at least a dozen hay wagon rides!
- The last wagon ride.... 2017City of Oak Grove, MN. Acorn day festival
I was very humbled and honored to welcome Builders first Source into their new manufacturing plant!!! Yes , I'm the one with the BIG scissors… and they are sharp!!! Welcome to Oak Grove, MN!!!!!
We won! We won a significant battle for the residents of 2,200 acres of the southeastern portion of our city and to be honest, all of Minnesota. We stood up against an outrageous mandate that essentially took the developments right away from those citizens.
After more than 10 years of standing up against the out of touch, appointed (NON-ELECTED) Met Council through legislative action WE GOT OUR CITY BACK!!!!! Working diligently on the elimination of the HIGH DENSITY MANDATE ON 2,200 acres of my residents was completely unacceptable…… It's wonderful when we have special legislators, House Speaker, Representative Kurt Daudt, Representative Cal Bahr, and Senator Michelle Benson spearheading our bills through the legislative process… Without their drive and the entire committee's efforts the Met Council would still be dictating unreasonable mandates on my residents….. From the deepest part of my heart, Thanks so much for making this happen for my city legislators!!!!!!
Here is the Star Tribune article and the audio from the interview, please tell other city officials that it IS possible to stand up against the Met Council!!
It's obvious to the most casual observer that the children are the future of this country. The residents of the City of Oak Grove, MN would not allow me to continue as Mayor if I announced that we are going to raise everyone's city taxes 10 percent, we have ideas where we may want to spend it, but once we take the money, (from you) we'll figure out where it will go. Why is it that more and more parents are homeschooling or sending their kids to private school and yet pay and pay and now asked to pay more for public school education for 20 years? Do you think there will never be another public school tax increase? No more school referendums? When is someone going to ask the important questions, like, what happened to the money we already gave you? HOW MUCH MONEY IS ACTUALLY GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE CLASSROOM? Please listen to the full interview I gave to the reporter from the Star and Tribune. Thanks!
"You should never be satisfied with success, you should never be discouraged by failure, failure can be sad, but the greatest sadness is not to try and fail, but failing to try."
Mayor Mark Korin fighting met council article by Andrew Richter of Community Solutions MN.
The real question that everyone needs to ask.... Is the Met Council planning for regional growth or doubling down and forcing Oak Grove residents to pay for an extremely bad, costly investment of the failed East Bethel sewer system? Local ELECTED officials standing up for residents rights!!!!
It's important that we as leaders stand up and defend our residents property rights against unreasonable mandates from the unelected Met Council. This was at my last city council meeting. Please share and support dismantling the Met Council.
Here is the 2017 State Of The Cities - Chamber Luncheon video from QCTV. To see my part go to 73:24.
Had a great conversation on saturday with Sue Jeffers on the Sue Jeffers show on Twin Cities News Talk. Part 1.
Conversation with Sue Jeffers part 2.
This is how our representative stays in touch.
You wouldn't believe who called me during a city council meeting...
Jeff does a great job explaining the Met Council Cartel... Their out of touch, Extremely poor planning, wasteful misguided vision is catastrophic for this state which completely disregards my Mayoral and our City Council leadership , our residents property rights and ALL planning for our city of Oak Grove, MN. I am on a mission to GET MY CITY BACK FROM THE MET COUNCIL'S TYRANNICAL OVERREACHING CONTROL...
Do you like getting told, by a nonelected board that we, elected officials do not have the right, by their interpretation, of a Minnesota statute, 473.857 to ask or question the REASONABLENESS of their planning????? This is lunacy that the Minnesota Cartel, known as the Met Council is above asking or listening to the leaders that are defending residents rights!!!! I need help to spread the word…. IMMEADIATLY CHANGE OR ELIMINATE Minnesota Statute 473.857!!!
On Sunday May 8th 2011, (mothers day) the Minneapolis Star and Tribune "crafted" an article to fit their "whistle blower" section trying to demonize my actions of volunteering after the City of Oak Grove, MN was left without a City Administrator. This story is simple, my name is Mark Korin and I was elected Mayor in 2010, and at the same time our City administrator quit. Knowing that the new City Council had a strong conservative direction and was looking for ways to restructure, cut costs and identify actual staffing requirements, what better way to get a first hand look but to immerse myself into daily operations as the City Administrator and report back to the entire City Council with suggestions of how private sector business values of management, staffing, budgeting and operations would allow us as council to restructure in a more cost efficient way while planning long term and still get the most value for our residents.
Friends and ALL Minnesotans, The Met council has overstepped its bounds and "Planning" for the "Possibility", Maybe, Could be, sort of, for the years 2045 and beyond, today!!!! They are taking my residents property rights away and your rights across Minnesota…. This unelected group has usurped state and local leaderships voice. The attached letter I wrote in 2013 and was my objection to the Met Councils 2040 year estimated planning process…. WHICH I RECEIVED NO RESPONSE OR COMMENTS ON…. THEY ARE NOT LISTENING AND ARE DEFT TO ALL LEADERSHIPS CONCERNS!!!!
This is a big problem and effects land owners, elected officials of BOTH party's across the 7 county metro area. Please share and stand up against ANY efforts that allow this Cartel to dictate to elected officials!
Good morning friends and fellow Minnesotans. I'm just getting started!! Please read and share this document to every person you know. This is my letter to the Metropolitan Council outlining unjust taking of our residence property through an overbearing and out of touch non elected bureaucratic government organization.
Well, WE DID IT!!!!! Oak Grove, Minnesota is OFFICIALLY the LOWEST TAXED CITY IN ALL OF ANOKA COUNTY!!!! As Mayor, I'm very proud to have helped lead the city through restructuring allowing a total of 33.5% reductions and put us on a path for 0% levy increases and keeping that goal now for the last 3 years... Since I took office, the City Council a I took the city from 9th highest taxed city to the lowest in 5 years!! A special thank you for the hard work from Council Members Scott Lawrence and Dan Denno and for the acceptance of the city staff guided by our City Administrator, Rick Juba
In a campaign I ran for Republican endorsement, I started my speech with " The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, with the same people, and expecting different results".... I thought about one statement I left out.... "and lack of true leadership"... The Republicans, Independents and Conservative Demacrats have to get back to the foundation of what and why this country has a government. The values that the Tea Party (MOVEMENT) brings to light is a core foundation of what makes this country great! Sarah Palin is right, leadership built on a swampy foundation will sink, settle and never be stable... Are there people on our side of the conservative fence that have a problem with what our founding fathers did during the first tea party revolt against the British over a 2% increase in taxes ???? What are they afraid of, that the truth will come out? And, I find it strange that the organization that's supposed to stand up for the conservative voices, (Republican leaders), are siding with the progressives and distancing themselves.... Something's wrong in OZ, Toto.
Now this is a GREAT SPEECH from a great conservative president.... I love his command of the spoken word and his sincere passion.... Just wonderful!!!
Big Tax Cuts for Small City in Anoka County - KSTP TV
This video is from 2011. It was 18% in 2011 now it totals almost 34% which equals $1.2 million a year in savings to the residents of Oak Grove, by restricting government operations like we are forced to do in business.

Studies have shown that a large percentage of all cancers have association with environmental factors. These environmental factors could be physical (air, soil, water), biological (virus, bacteria, fungi, plants, animals) and/or social (lifestyle). Of all these environmental factors, lifestyle is the most important. Exercise smoking and excessive alcohol intake are well known associates of lung and liver cancer respectively. The relationship between diet and some cancers is well known.
1. Diet.
A diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps ward off cancer especially cancer of the stomach, and large intestine. For fruits, citrus fruits appear specially favoured. Reduce fat intake, also limit consumption of salt and salt preserved foods. Maintain a balanced diet and exercise to maintain healthy body weight.
2. Good lifestyle.
Alcohol and tobacco have long been known to be associated with lung and liver cancers. Duration and dose of these two habits are very important. Parents should avoid smoking in the presence of children to avoid spreading the habit; same goes for alcohol intake, having a bar in the house stocked with assorted alcoholic drinks though socially desirable encourages children to drink alcohol. Creating awareness in schools about health implications of alcohol/smoking will go a long way.
3. Reduce exposure to occupational/environmental Hazards
Cancers associated with occupational exposure include those of the lungs, bladder, nose and skin. Several chemicals and chemical groups have been identified to cause cancer. Avoid or reduce exposure to them. Use protective clothing and equipment- insist on them. These chemicals/substances include benzene, asbestos, soots, arsenic and wood dust. Go for regular screening for levels of the chemicals in your body.
4. Reduce or Avoid Exposure to Radiation.
Adopt sun protective behaviour, minimise time spent under the sun; ultra violet radiation from the sun is a known cause of skin cancer accounting for about 80% of cases. The use of protective clothing, sunglasses, hats and sunscreens is recommended. Unnecessary exposure to medical x-rays should be avoided.
5. Immunisations.
Two infections are associated with cancer; Hepatitis B infection which can lead to cancer of the liver, and Human papilloma Virus infection which is associated with cancer of the cervix. Immunisation is now available against these two infections. You can consult your physician.
6. Prevention by use of drugs.
Some drugs and micronutrients are known to reduce the risk of some cancers. The cancers include breast cancer, cancer of the large intestine, cancer of the prostate. The micronutrients are vitamins and minerals which can be taken as supplements but better obtained through regular and adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables.

Brooke Logan Quotes
Stephanie: You think this is all my fault? You have brought this on yourself.
Brooke: All I ever did, Stephanie, was to love Ridge.
Stephanie: And his father, and his brother, and your son-in-law. Is it any wonder Bridget is confused? I mean, is it any wonder your daughter would confuse natural feelings of respect and affection for romance? You have blurred the lines of socially-acceptable behaviour. And you stand here and you tell me you're proud. What are you proud of? Having your son-in-law's baby? I know what you're proud of. Chasing after a man whose wife's body is barely cold in the ground.
Brooke Logan Forrester is nobody's fool, nobody's.Brooke

Emmy DickWatch: 'Dick in a Box' Wins the Emmy, Pressure Increases on Producers
Surely the producers can't censor Andy and Justin now!
Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake's quest for justice took another positive step this weekend, as the auteurs of "Dick in a Box" won the Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics at Saturday night's Creative Arts Emmys, the Carlos Mencia–hosted pre-awards in which the television academy hands out the marginal trophies the September 15 Emmy telecast won't have time for.
The triumph of A-Sam and J-Tim should only increase pressure on the awards show's producers to let the duo perform their viral megahit uncensored on the live telecast. After all, it's one thing to ask some comedian and some schmo from N*Sync to expurgate their bawdy tune, but are you really going to censor an Emmy-winning song? Hell no!

Critic Reviews for The Hot Rock
All Critics (8) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (3) | DVD (1)
OK Redford caper flick directed by Peter Yates.
Audience Reviews for The Hot Rock
Enormously entertaining caper flick where a quartet of thieves don't have just one job, they have to pull off four - a museum, the state prison, a police station, and a bank - and all to get the same diamond! Redford is typical Redford as the cool-as-a-cucumber brains of the group, although he tends to get arrested and needs antacids to offset the nerves he internalizes. George Segal is the optimist and master locksmith, while Ron Leibman and Paul Sand round out the team, and we can't forget Zero Mostel as a crooked lawyer. There's always something amusing going on in William Goldman's script which adds offbeat color to the story, like an old woman who interrupts a gang meeting in the park to feed the birds, or a bum who steals Redford's watch when he's casing a building, or the getaway driver and his mother who listen to speedway recordings of roaring engines for recreation. Plus, there's a breathtaking extended helicopter ride through downtown New York City. If you love caper movies, you've got to see The Hot Rock. "Johnny.....Can't you go straight this time?" "I just don't have it in me."
Super Reviewer
Afghanistan Banana Stand, See this movie! How was this not a hit? Robert Redford + George Segal + Zero Mostel + William Goldman + Peter Yates = a pretty fun movie.
Super Reviewer
A band of criminals played by some great 70s actors, go out to steal a diamond, with hilarious results. I enjoyed this movie, it's not very different from other movies like that, but it's fun.

J.K. Rowling has jokingly castigated Harry Potter star Matthew Lewis for stripping off in a magazine shoot.
The Harry Potter creator admits she was shocked when she saw Lewis, who played Neville Longbottom in the film adaptations of her books, wearing just his underpants for a spread in Britain's Attitude magazine.
In a discussion with Lewis on Twitter.com, Rowling also referenced Daniel Radcliffe's 2007 theater stint in Equus, where he appeared completely naked onstage.
She wrote, "Not as bad as watching Dan in Equus, but close. Warn me next time, for God's sake... I will always support you whatever you want to do, Matthew. Now go put some clothes on... I hastily averted my eyes and read an article on Political Correctness to get over the shock."
Lewis responded to the posts, writing, "Well, this is awkward. Sorry, Jo..."

From United States:
Is it possible to infuse magnesium sulfate (in solution) subcutaneously via insulin pump and would it work in a consistent manner? Currently, I have to get it via I.V. because I require 4 grams every week. It would be much more practical (and less painful) to use a second pump to administer the magnesium. I have another pump so that's not an issue.
Micromedex indicates that magnesium sulfate can be given intravenously or intramuscularly. I do not see how this can be used effectively with a subcutaneous pump.

2012 Flex Pro Championships Review: Beyeke Wins
Lionel Beyeke wins, but does so with mixed reviews. Find out how the other competitors fared in this year's IFBB Flex Pro Championships.
Lionel Beyeke won the 2012 Flex Pro Championships, but not everyone in the auditorium agreed. Here's my take on what went down with these controversial placings.
After arriving at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, I immediately went backstage to see if Fouad Abiad had shaved his beard. He had been growing it out to somehow gain an edge through good luck. Abiad was clean shaven. His face was lean and taught and he assured me he was in better shape than last year.
The Guys
About an hour later, the athletes filed out on stage for their individual, 60-second routines. Abiad was competitor number one so I didn't have to wait too long to see if his self-analysis was accurate.
He was very tight -- maybe even tighter than last year, but not as full.
Beyeke came out next. This was the first time I had seen him compete, and my initial thoughts were that he had great size, nice flow, a tiny waist and he was smoother than Abiad -- a lot smoother actually, especially from the back.
According to our experts on the forums, Abiad, Beyeke, Pakulski, Rhoden, and Correa were the guys to watch. So I was excited to see Correa. Holy cow! That guy was peeled! I mean, we're talking cellophane-for-skin crisp.
Correa reportedly weighed about 217, that's more than 10 pounds heavier than the last time I saw him as a 202 competitor.
Last year Pakulski came out strong, but faded quickly. This year he seemed to gain momentum as he posed, and was able to keep his crispness throughout the judging.
Ben's super-wide shoulders and huge calves are really a sight to behold.
Shawn Rhoden has a very pretty physique, but when he turned around his back was very smooth. His herniated belly button was very distracting.
It reminded me of a huge zit on a beautiful woman's nose: I just couldn't help staring at it.
I thought Mark Dugdale might pull it together, but it wasn't to be.
He looked sharp from the front, but his back was smooth like most of the competitors.
Mark's doing the 212 show in AZ next weekend; he said he'll definitely tighten up for that one.
In the first callout were Abiad, Beyeke, Pakulski and Rhoden. That wasn't too surprising, but I thought Correa should have been in that callout as well. I was sitting next to the guys from RXMuscle and they thought Correa should have been in the callout too. They had him pegged to win the whole show!
It was easy to see that the top three was going to be Abiad, Beyeke and Pakulski, but I wasn't sure about the order. At first, I thought Abiad had it hands down because he was so sharp and his shape was better than Pakulski's. Beyeke had the best shape, but he was too smooth, especially in the back of his lower body. As the judging progressed, I thought Abiad started to flatten out a bit and he lost that "pop." It became more noticeable that he wasn't as full as he needed to be.
Ben got stronger during the callout while Abiad faded. Beyeke looked about the same and had a thin film of water the entire time. I also thought Beyeke lacked calves, but anyone standing next to Pakulski is going to lack lack calves unless his nickname is The House! Beyeke didn't know how to hit a back double biceps pose either: he scrunched his shoulder blades together much like Paul Dillet used to.
Correa, Rhoden and Pakulski put their best sides forward.
Correa never did a comparison with the top guys like I thought he should have, and based on the way he was compared and moved around in the callouts, it looked like he would be in fifth. (Chris Aceto from RXMuscle wasn't too pleased with the way Correa was overlooked.)
After the judging, I talked with a few people to get their opinions. Those opinions were all over the place. Some people thought Correa should chalk up a win based on his conditioning. It was split between Pakulski and Abiad for first and second. Most people had Beyeke in third. From my seat in 10 feet from the stage, I saw Ben in first, Abiad in second, Beyeke in third, Correa in fourth and Rhoden rounding out the top five.
The Finals
While waiting for the show to start, I chatted with IFBB Pro judge, Brian Bullman. Brian wasn't judging the Flex Pro, he was the guy on stage pointing out where the guys should stand making sure they were all on stage at the right time. (My hat is off to Brian. That is not any easy job.)
Brian pointed out that the Flex Pro had the top judges in the IFBB; All of them had judged an Olympia - there's no higher rank than that. I asked Brian who he thought looked best in the lineup. From his vantage point on the side of the stage, it isn't easy to see. (The judges sit directly in front of the stage, so they see a whole different perspective.) Brian could tell from back in the pump-up room, however, that Eduardo Correa was easily the best conditioned guy in the show.
When the routines began, I was looking to see if Abiad had filled out or if he was still flat. After his routine I concluded he was a little bit fuller and still tight.
Correa, Beyeke and Abiad hit their best "lights out" shots.
The next thing I was expecting to see was a sharper Beyeke. He's working with Hany Rambod so I thought they'd make adjustments to improve for the night show. If they made adjustments, I couldn't tell because I thought he looked even smoother at night. At first I thought it was just my eyes, but even one of the guys from Flex magazine agreed that Beyeke was smoother. I thought Beyeke needed to lose about five pounds of water to have the sharpness he needed to pull off a decisive win.
I also wondered if Pakulski would hold his conditioning. After seeing his routine, I thought he had. He looked about the same, but might have eaten a few too many carbs because his stomach seemed to bloat a little when he was in relaxed stances.
Finally, I wanted to see if Rhoden could sharpen up. If he wasn't tighter, I was certain that he would leave the fourth place, or possibly third, open for Correa. Because Correa was so well-conditioned, I just couldn't see him lower than fourth. Sure he wasn't quite as big, but conditioning has been rewarded in so many other shows, it just seemed that it would be recognized in this one too.
Return of the Titans: Pro bodybuilding is back!
The Top Five
After the confirmation judging round, the final five competitors were called out. Unsurprisingly, Abiad, Beyeke, Correa, Pakulski and Rhoden were the finalists. I wasn't sure though, about the placings.
When the announcement for Correa placing fifth was made, the crowd booed. That happens all the time at shows. Sometimes, I agree with the judges' decisions and sometimes I don't. And while I wasn't booing, I did think that Correa should have been placed higher than Rhoden.
As I waited for the top three to be announced, I tried to figure out how the chips would fall. Would Abiads's conditioning, which resulted in him being too flat, be rewarded? Could Pakulski pull out his first win despite not having the most pleasing shape and proportion? How would Beyeke fare? He had the best shape and plenty of size, but some of his poses were awkward and he was clearly holding water.
I've seen about 20 pro shows and I know how the process works, so I quickly made up my mind. Conditioning is usually the determining factor in placing, so I placed Beyeke in third, Abiad in second and Pakulski in first. I thought Pakulski had the best combination that day. If Beyeke was sharper, he would have had the lights out win.
The judges, however, saw it differently. Abiad was third. Pakulski was second and Beyeke was declared the winner.
Beyeke brings home the big one.

Even though I saw a different outcome than the judges, I thought it was refreshing to be kept in suspense between the pre-judging and the finals.
Some shows are too predictable. Most everybody agreed with the top three, but their places were cause for some debate. That's what the forum is for!
Overall, the Flex Pro Championships was a great production. The event ran smoothly and everything moved along quickly. I like the venue. It wasn't huge, but the seating and lighting was good.
It's location was great too because Gold's Gym, Venice and the Firehouse are only a mile away. Robin Chang and the crew at Flex did a great job with the event. This show was a great warm-up for the 2012 IFBB Pro season.
I'd like to give a shout-out to the guys in the IFBB Pro section for chiming in on play-by-play, posting photos, and giving me advice on how to type better on a Kindle Fire. (My favorite typo was my Kindle auto-filling "Rhoden" with "duodenum." ) Thanks, guys! It was a blast.

I moved to Spain from the UK in 2002. When I saw the villa I fell in love with the size and tranquillity of the garden. . I spent the next several years enjoying the sunshine and slowly renovating and adding new bedrooms and bathrooms. I now live for most of the year in the UK with my daughter using the villa myself during the off season.
Susan Chambers purchased this villa in 2002
Campello was the perfect location for me. It is a lovely town without being too touristy. The beach is known as one of the cleanest and safest in the area. Miles and miles of golden sands. The shops are just off the seafront, perfect for doing your shopping then sitting looking at the sea whilst having a coffee. First class tram and train service. Alicante city is only a 15 minute drive as are all the shopping malls. It's a great place to live and perfect for relaxing holidays.
I would have to say the amount of facilities we have for the children make our villa unique.
We have tried to think of everything mum and dad would like to bring on holiday for the children if packing space was not an issue.

A really warm welcome was given to us when we arrived at this spotlessly presented Villa. We were provided with everything one could possibly want. This Villa is worthy of a FIVE STAR rating.
The property is first class with everything we needed for an amazing holiday. The welcome hamper was just fabulous thankyou so much. We could not fault anything about the whole experience. It was perfect. Thankyou so much. We will be returning.
My husband and I stayed here with my daughter, her husband and their 4 young children aged 5,3 and twins of 1. The kids absolutely loved it, so many toys, bikes, go karts etc all ages were more than catered for. With their own play park area and a football area not once did we hear an 'I'm bored' they loved hunting out all the little animal statues hidden amongst the flowerbeds round the garden. Everything you need is in the villa. Sky tv, dvd and video players and a massive collection of films on both dvd and video. We hardly turned the tv on though we were outside to late every evening enjoying the barbeque and the warm evenings. Supermarket is a 5 min drive away and a lovely restaurant called La Pearla 6 mins away overlooking a golf course. We drove to the beach a couple of evenings took about 15 mins, lovely beach with plenty of bars, restaurants and ice cream shops. Excellent welcome pack containing essentials waiting for us, shame we went to the supermarket while we waited for the cleaners to finish and doubled up on some bits.
Grumbles, the neighbours dog barking all night right near our bedroom window. The garden is mainly small stones which meant we were forever saying to the kids 'put your shoes on'. There was a funny smell when we first arrived and the cleaning wasnt exactly thorough. We bought some bleach mopped the floors and had a clean round with some surface spray and it was fixed. But not how you want to spend your first day. We also had a problem with the pool going green even though we showered before entering as instructed.
On the whole the good points by far outweighed the bad points and i would definitely say visit, you will have a great time and the kids will have a blast!!!
So glad I booked this villa. It was brilliant and had everything for kids, outside toys, inside toys, even a play area outside with a trampolene and swings! Also everything for babies, highchairs, cots and baby monitors. The villa itself was also well equipped with everything you needed and some things you didn't think you needed! Also the villa was very spacious, with plenty of room for everyone and the beds were really comfortable. Outside area was great with enough room for everyone and the kids could play safely as the villa was totally enclosed. Would definately recommend this villa to anyone (kids or no kids!). Can't wait to go back again.
Villa was excellent home from home. We didn't need to take any toys for the children. Marin and Steve was very friendly and answered any questions straight away. As Sue says in her description a car is necessary. We used taxi to take us to El Campello every night. It didn't work out too expensive as it was for 8 adults and 2 children. There was a list of taxi drivers in a file in the villa I would definitely use Bob. The villa was spotlessly clean and everything you would need in the kitchen. We would definitely return. All correspondence with the owner was excellent via e mail or text. Lis Weaver and family
The villa was exactly as described. Great property, great pool and great gardens. Also there were plenty of toys etc. to keep our 2 year old grandson occupied and happy for months. Everything was catered for and the welcome pack was excellent. Karin and Steve were very friendly and helpful on our arrival and made sure we were happy with everything. A hire car is definitely recommended.
The villa is ideally situated being less than a mile from the motorway and within a fifteen minute drive of Alicante airport. The majority of our guests hire a car from Alicante airport. El Campello beach, (less than 10 minute drive) is known as one of the best in the area. It's safe and clean. Sun beds and parasols are available to hire and the promenade is lined with cafes and restaurants, the main shops are just off the seafront. The town of Mutxamel is within a five minute drive as it the beautiful town of San Juan with its golden beaches.
ALICANTE CITY with its vast array of shops is within a 15min drive as are several towns, villages and shopping malls. Markets can be found every day of the week. El Cisne Rastro Market is open every Saturday and Sunday. It has a live Jazz Band and is very popular. Directions to all the attractions are in the welcome folder.
