'Tis the season for holiday ballets and recitals!!! Do you or your ballerina need a ballet bun for an upcoming recital? Don't hyperventilate! Here's a very easy one for all my fellow dance moms…
First, find a women's trouser-type sock that closely matches your little one's hair color. Then cut the very tip of the toe off and roll the sock into a doughnut shape – quick tip: it works better if you roll from the toe to the top of the sock.
It should look like this when your done:
Make a ponytail about where the bun needs to be and pull the ponytail through the sock, like this:
Then, have your ballerina tuck her chin and lean forward and fan out the ponytail over the sock, like so:
Next, put a tight rubberband around the whole thing – or wrap a bigger rubberband around as many times as you can.
Then, twist and bobby pin all the little pieces around the edges of the bun.
To make sure that the bun has ballet dancing and costume-changing staying power, make sure to wrap the bun in a hairnet – I buy mine from Sally's Beauty Supply.
There you have it! Quick easy and ready for the stage!

After releases on Bush, Nervous, Muzik X Press and recommended dj legend by Carl Cox, Spanish artist Affani do his first steps on Deeptown Music with his house disco song 'Disco Lab V1'. This track reminds to the old pumpin' house tracks and has it all inside what it needs: Groovy baseline, filtered disco combined with cool vocals.
Barcelona based artist Diego Hernandez took this house song to a more soulful stage with his cool piano chords, mixed with saxophone and cool organ pads.
Further more, Deeptown honcho Danny Coleman edited the song with his beats to bring a variation of the original.
Let's jump on the dancefloor and move your feet to this great piece of house music.
It's Deeptown Baby !

Scientists Hope to Sequence Genome of Richard III
LONDON — About a year and a half after finding King Richard III's corpse under a parking lot in Leicester, British scientists will proceed to grind up some of his bones to try to sequence his genome. They hope to discover his hair and eye color and see what kind of infectious bacteria he might have been hosting.
They have already confirmed that the last Plantagenet king had scoliosis, that he was infected with roundworm and that he died from the blow of a sharp instrument, like a sword or halberd, to the head.
The king died at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, and his body was supposedly taken on horseback by the victor, Henry Tudor, who later became Henry VII, ending the Wars of the Roses. His body was brought to the Franciscan Greyfriars Friary in Leicester, where it was buried in a crude grave, but was later lost after the friary was dissolved in 1538 and demolished. The body was discovered and exhumed in 2012.
A geneticist, Turi King, will lead the project to produce the genome sequence, which will take about a year and is estimated to cost 100,000 British pounds (about $166,000), according to a statement from the project's co-founders, the Wellcome Trust and the Leverhulme Trust.
"It is an extremely rare occurrence that archaeologists are involved in the excavation of a known individual, let alone a king of England," Dr. King said.
There is a continuing dispute about where Richard will finally be buried, whether in Leicester Cathedral or in York.
An article on Thursday about a genetic project involving the bones of King Richard III of England referred incorrectly to the sequencing procedure that British scientists plan to attempt. They will try to sequence his genome, his complete set of genetic information — not his genetic code, which is the set of rules that cells use to turn a sequence of DNA into specific proteins. (The error was repeated in the headline.) The article also referred incorrectly to the spinal deformity that scientists have confirmed the king suffered from. He had scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine; he was not hunchbacked, in which the spine is curved forward, although he has been described that way by Shakespeare and others. And the article also misidentified the religious order associated with the Greyfriars Friary in Leicester, where Richard's body was originally buried. It was a Franciscan friary, not an Augustinian one.

Who Wears What at Assumption
October 20, 2014 in Style
I have to admit, I am no fashionista myself. I actually dread shopping most of the time, and it's probably due to the fact that I have never had a disposable income. You can usually find me scouring the racks at TJ Max and Marshall's for cheap steals, but other than that you will only find me in a completely new wardrobe after christmas and my birthday.
Honestly I would have to say that the majority of people at Assumption aren't crazy about being fashionable, but there are a few exceptions like with anything. You can definitely tell who is who by what they wear if you observe…
Jocks: Clearly, most of the athletes here wear their warm ups around campus, since they usually have practice throughout the day at random times. You will see guys wearing gym shorts, sweatpants, sneakers, warm up sweats, and team sweatshirts around the school. They also get backpacks with their sport on it as well as their number. I am not sure if every team gets these though, I have only seen some students with them. Usually the athletic girls will wear sweats or workout clothes to class, and their team shirts or sweatshirts. Of course, athletes wear other clothes too, but you will usually see them in comfortable, sporty attire.
Rich Kids: Assumption is a private school, that costs about $50,000 a year, so you can probably guess that there are some people that go here that DO have a disposable income. It's common to hear someone say they're going shopping with their parent's credit card, and you can usually tell who these people are. You will see these kids sporting all of the name brands and nothing less. You might see the girls in lucky brand jeans, real leather Michael Kors boots, ray ban sunglasses, a Marc Jacob's purse, and some expensive jewelry. As for the guys, they might wear Vineyard Vines, Polo, or an expensive watch.
Majority: Most people at Assumption dress similar and just try to keep up with the trends as best as they can. Currently, girls are wearing north face jackets, riding boots, leggings, cardigans, flannels, leather jackets, scarves, combat boots and bean boots. Most people shop at TJ Max, Marshalls, Forever 21, or any other reasonably priced store. Most college kids don't have the extra cash to drop $500 on a shopping spree, so most of these things are from average stores. For boys, gym shorts, jeans, t shirts, sweatshirts, and Nike attire are all popular. For some reason bucket hats are coming back for the guys as well…not sure where that came from. As the winter goes on, more students are apt to dress for comfort, rather than style.
Artsy: Assumption is not an art school to say the least, but there are definitely some artsy and creative people out there who dress to their own beat. I've seen everything from a boy wearing capris to a girl who dresses in halloween type dresses year round. You can't help but admire these people who aren't afraid to be themselves and break away from the mainstream style and expectations.
I do think that when it comes to Assumption, it's small size contributes to its lack of diversity when it comes to style. Because Assumption is such a small community, it's easy to just blend in with the current fashion and wear what everyone else is wearing. I think most colleges are like this though, and that fashion can tell you a lot about the people who go there.

On Monday this week Mairead McErlean presented the cheque to a Road Victims Trust. The Road Victims Trust seeks to fill the gap by providing support for the bereaved and people otherwise affected by road death or life changing injuries, who are resident in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.
In their letter of of thanks they say 'a significant donation such as yours will support at least 6 families, individuals or witnesses over a 12 month period.'
Mairead commented, "The RVT does a wonderful job of supporting the families of people who have been killed in road accidents. The support they provide is specialised, immediate and free of charge. For its recipients it is invaluable. Geoffrey Leaver Solicitors are delighted to be able to make this donation to support their ongoing work."

Happy Wednesday everyone!
I don't know why this always happens, but once Wednesday roles around....that's when I'm like "Yes, I need to blog today!". If you look at my post history, I pretty much always blog on Wednesdays! I think I'm in mourning on Mondays and Tuesdays from the weekend being gone and by Wednesday my spirits are lifted because Friday is coming? Makes sense to me....
Anyway {back from my little tangent there}, have any of you ever tried the Aveda comforting tea? I first tried it while being in an Aveda salon for services and I loved it! I would drink like 5 cups alone while sitting there, so I finally decided to buy the tea bags so that I can drink it at work. It's a little pricey for tea ($15), but I just love it! They sell it in tea bags and also in loose leaf, but I don't own a tea brewer {however, I bet the flavors are even better that way}. I highly recommend you try it if you enjoy tea! Have any of you had it before?
Did you all hear about Miley Cyrus getting engaged to Liam Hemsworth? Hmm...I never really understood them as a couple but hey, who am I to judge? They've been together 3 years, BUT she is only 19 years old! Seems a little young to be getting married, no? And looking at the Hollywood track record......they don't stand a chance for staying together for very long! If they even make it down the aisle...... I think we are all a bit negative about Hollywood marriages after Kim Kardashian put the icing on the cake. How long do you think they'll make it??
I recently won a giveaway from The Southern Eclectic {Sheridan French's blog} for $100 towards jewelry from Erin McDermott, and my picks came in the main last week! I decided on two pairs of earrings:
These Venice Beach Earrings
And these Julia Earrings
I love them both!! I am wearing the Venice Beach ones today....I highly recommend you go visit Erin's website. The quality of the earrings are great, and they are so unique!
And lastly, I saw this on Pinterest and decided this should probably be framed in my house!
So true, right? :)
Have a great rest of the day!

When you strip away all of the bells and whistles, a resume is basically a sales tool. But instead of selling products or services, a resume sells your most important commodity – you.
Unfortunately, many jobseekers miss the point of a resume. In an effort to keep pace with the latest style trends, they download a few sample resumes and plug their information into prefabricated templates without considering why a solid resume is important.
First and foremost, a resume is a sales tool – a promotional device designed to capture the attention of prospective employers and hopefully pave the way to a personal interview. So from start to finish, your resume needs to written in a manner that highlights your strengths and makes your candidacy irresistible to employers. Does that sound like a tall order? It may not be as difficult as you think. Here's how to get started . . .
Be Concise
Long-winded resumes full of flowery language and filler material are like kryptonite to employers. As the number of applicants for available positions continues to rise, today's employers prefer applicants who can clearly and succinctly make their point. If you are in the early stages of your career, a single page resume should suffice; more experienced candidates should limit their resume to two pages.
Emphasize Results
Anyone can make vague claims in a resume. But the resumes that stand out to employers are the ones that emphasize empirical results. For example, the phrase "Consistently outperformed sales objectives" sounds nice. However, "Exceeded sales goals by 5,000+ units (30%) for each of the past five years" gives employers something they can really sink their teeth into.
Create a Career Narrative
The most successful sales professionals create a narrative or story around their products. The same strategy can be applied to your resume, regardless of the type of position you are hoping to land. Employers look for resumes that make sense and illustrate a logical career progression. Career gaps are sometimes unavoidable, but with a little effort they can be finessed into a coherent narrative that emphasizes your vocational strengths.
Consider Various Resume Formats
There are several different types of resumes you can employ to sell yourself to employers. Although a chronological approach is the most common resume format, a functional or targeted (by employer) resume may be a better vehicle for communicating your message to employers.

AB InBev Will Try to Keep SABMiller's Stake in China's Snow Brand
Future of Snow is being determined in talks with joint-venture partner China Resources
Anheuser-Busch InBev NV will try to defy conventional wisdom and hold on to SABMiller PLC's China beer business CR Snow, according to two people familiar with the company's plan.
The idea flies in the face of analysts' expectations that AB InBev would be forced to divest itself of Snow, the world's No. 1 selling beer by volume, in order to secure regulatory approval in China for its roughly $108 billion takeover of SABMiller.

Your Longmont Neighborhood Photographer
Modeling. Headshots. Family portraiture. You've booked your Longmont portrait session and you would like to keep costs down. I totally get it, so here are some simple tips to follow that will help you save a little:
Practice your smile.
It sounds simple enough, but it's actually one of the most challenging things I have to deal with sometimes. You see, most people have a "perm-a-grin"—a "smile" or other facial expression that you've been using for years and don't really know how to change because you're not sure how to get your face to relax. (You know who you are!) I see this mostly when taking wedding photos, because let's face it, everyone is tired of standing around for what seems like hours, taking a zillion pictures. But some people just always seem to have this type of fake smile; I see it all the time. I'll be talking to someone, laughing, socializing, and they look great, but then as soon as I bring my camera up to my face—BAM! They immediately plaster on their perm-a-grin.
So, how will practicing your REAL smile help you save money? Well, time equals money! (Or in this case, less time equals less money.) Because the sooner you get away from your perm-a-grin, the quicker and easier your photo session will be.
The cure to perm-a-grin is threefold: First, relax. Then, trust in your photographer (believe me, I will let you know if your smile looks unnatural). And of course, practice your real smile. Just tell yourself a joke. Or remember a happy time and let your face do its thing. And stop thinking so much! When you have a natural smile, you also have a happy, I-don't-have-to-do-so-much photographer, which leads to a happy client and genuine results (without wasting valuable time).
Follow directions.
My best models are not the ones who look the prettiest, the ones who are the thinnest, nor the ones who practiced. (Although as we just learned, it does help to practice your smile.) No, my best subjects are the ones who listen to my directions during the session. Unless you've been in front of a professional photographer's camera at least 10 times, you still have to follow simple directions like "chin down," "right shoulder back," or "eyes to me." It's funny, but everyone—EVERYONE—who comes into my studio starts out apprehensive but leaves a confident model. In fact, I usually throw out the first half of the session because the second half is when they are most relaxed and engaged, so therefore I get better portraits!
And how will following directions help you save money? Same as above—the session goes faster and is then less expensive.
Get your a$$ to the gym!
Or, better yet, take a jog or bike ride around one of the beautiful paths we have here in Longmont. Don't get me wrong—feeling overweight isn't a reason to NOT book a photography session. Most of us are carrying around a few extra pounds! But if you don't like the way you look in the photos, you're going to be paying extra Photoshop fees for me to make you look 10 pounds lighter.
Bring examples.
From business headshots to a Longmont Modeling Photography session, everyone has preconceived ideas of what their portraits will look like. I'm a great photographer, but I'm not a mind reader, so let's get on board to eliminate any confusion or "I assumed you knew what I meant!" If I'm not exactly sure what you're hoping for, it could end up prolonging the shoot or worse, rescheduling! Pinterest is a great place to find ideas, and my Pinterest board is filled with examples of great photos. Find it here: https://www.pinterest.com/lisaboudoir/

Historic City News learned that, according to a report of 2012 County Health Rankings released yesterday, in overall rankings of health factors, St Johns County ranks first among Florida's 67 counties; and has for the last three years; and, for 2012, replaces Collier County to rank first in health outcomes, as well.
Social and economic factors account for 40% of the total score of elements that determine health factors, and, for the past three years, St Johns County has led the state — consistently earning first place rankings in 2010, 2011, and again in 2012.
The five elements measured to establish "social and economic" factors, ranked by relevance, are Education (10% of total score), Employment (10% of total score), Income (10% of total score), Family and Social Support (5% of total score), and Community Safety (5% of total score).
The report ranks St Johns County first in income and second in education — but only 16th in citizens actually employed. St Johns County ranks highest in the state in terms of providing adequate social support and two-parent households for the county's children.
The largest detraction to St Johns County's social and economic ranking was community safety — our violent crime rate causes the county to drop to 19th place out of 67 counties.
Behind social and economic factors evaluated, the three remaining major factors, ranked by relevance, are Health Behaviors (30%), Clinical Care (20%), and Physical Environment (10%).
St Johns County ranked second highest in health behaviors, fourth highest in clinical care, and seventh highest in physical environment.
Clinical care in St Johns County is improving, according to the reports published at www.countyhealthrankings.org and www.flphi.org. We went from seventh place in 2010, to fifth place last year, then, this year, advanced to the fourth highest position. Counties that led St Johns in clinical care this year were Alachua (1st), Sarasota (2nd) and Leon (3rd).
The two elements, measured to establish "clinical care", are access to care and quality of care. Although St Johns County ranks third behind only Alachua and Leon counties, in terms of "access to care", in terms of "quality of care", comprised of preventable hospital stays, diabetic screening and mammography screening, St Johns County achieves a ranking-score of only 72%; placing us only 19th highest out of 67 counties.

This is my first post to the board but I have discovered many fine restaurants as the result of reading it.
I just wanted to post that MAMA's HOT TAMALES cafe in McArthur park was the best Mexican (and I should not call it just mexican, since they feature tamales from around the globe) food I have EVER had. The prices are cheap, and after reading the history of the cafe, I discovered that it is a venue designed to TRAIN local apprentices and to aid in the re-development of the McArthur Park area.
This was better than anything I have ever tried.

Games Workshop and Forge World were showing off more of what's on the horizon for Blood Bowl this year as they took a peek at the awesome Dwarf Team and some Star Players too.
The new team was shown off in its fully painted form at the Open Day at the beginning of the week and they truly are looking superb. I am most certainly going to be picking them up as my team of choice.
It's nice to see a set of Dwarves with a bit of motion to them as we're so used to them standing stoically still as they await the charge. With some rather flashy beards you get a sense of them at play.
Additionally, we also got to take a look at their impressive Death Roller which will be squishing goblins into a thin paste on the field of play.
I always found them somewhat temperamental and usually a waste of your gold but they are good fun.
Star Players & Leagues
We also got to see some plastic Star Players that are also on the cards. It seems like each of them is going to be available in blister packs and will allow you to bring some famous faces to the tabletop.
Interestingly while we're seeing some blasts from the past here the folks behind Blood Bowl seem to have their sights set on rookies and casting a whole new breed of star player with the Blitzmania League on the horizon.
More details are forthcoming but all you need to play is the core box so that's a good start.
What do you think of these new players?

Melt & Mix Steamed Chocolate Banana Cake with Mixed Fruits
The first thing that came to my mind is my aunt's moist melt and mix steamed chocolate banana cake. This recipe is extremely quick and easy to make, delicious and great for the little ones to get involved because it takes only 10 minutes to prepare.
Being as Asian, I somehow prefer the steamed version of the chocolate banana cake because it's lighter and more fluffy than baked cakes, without compromising the rich chocolate taste and light banana flavor. I also like adding dried mixed fruits like raisins, cranberries and orange peel to the cake as it gives more bites of sweetness to the cake. If you are a coffee lover, add 1 teaspoon to the mixture.
This moist cake is delicious eaten on its own, served with ice-cream or glazed with chocolate sauce. It's also great as a base to make a chocolate fondant cake. Here is Rui's first steamed chocolate banana cake with fondant...:-)
Note: You can replace mashed bananas with various types of vegetable and fruit purees such as carrots, mangoes or steamed yam to the batter. Rule of thumb, for thicker purees, add some water to make the consistency somewhat close to mashed bananas. For thinner purees, just reduce the quantity used to about 3/4 cup instead of 1 cup. Of course, bananas are still my preferred choice as they give an intense flavor and aroma to the cake.
Enjoy the steamed chocolate banana cake!

Subaru Outback
A stereotypical Subaru – sacrifices interior appeal and ride comfort in favour of reliability and all-round ruggedness. …
The second-generation Land Rover Freelander represented a big step up for the British commpany's smallest product. With smarter looks inside and out, it could take on premium-badged opposition for the first time.
True, the interior plastics still don't feel as classy as those in contemporary Audis and BMWs, but they're closer than the original car's are, and there's good head and leg room in both the front and the rear. It's just a shame that the Freelander's boot is so small.
The driving position is good, placing you high and giving an excellent forward view. While there's a lot of body lean in bends, the Freelander grips well and has a very comfortable ride.
As Land Rover was owned by Ford at the time, there are a number of Ford-sourced components and parts. The best of these is the 2.2-litre TD4 diesel engine, which produces 157bhp and gives the Freelander pretty good performance.
The second-generation Freelander also made a bit of history by becoming the first Land Rover product to be sold with front-wheel drive; that fuel-saving eD4 model was added to the range in 2008.

The Security Council of Russia instructed the FSB and the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media to take measures that will allow to identify all users of online games and social networks by their mobile phone numbers.
It is suggested to extend the requirements, that will come into force on January 1st for social networks and instant messengers, and apply them to online games too. The games will be required to identify users by phone number, and provide such information at the request of law enforcement agencies.
According to the 'Yarovaya's law', starting from July 1st, 2018, all of the 'information distributors' will be required to store information about users' communication for up to a year, and the contents of their correspondence for up to 6 months.
Chief analyst of the Russian Association of Electronic Communications, Karen Kazaryan, said that extending of these requirements to online games are 'weird'.
"Apparently, the myth of terrorists, communicating through multiplayer online games, still lives," Kazarian said.

Today I am out hunting. Just a quick trip to town to post this blog via my telephone. No elk yet, but hoping for a gift this afternoon. Venison in the freezer and hoping for some new elk treats to accompany soon. It is a sunny day, after some wet weather in the woods. I need a shave, a shower, and a good bed, but life is good! Had to do an emergency repair on my powder gun Saturday, locked my keys in my truck Sunday, but I haven't lost my character. Having a good time with God in the midst of it all.
What is the purpose in becoming expressions of God as the children of God in the earth? An expression of something is the word of something. A word is not just what is spoken verbally. It is what is expressed. It is something though made known in the word I influence. God does everything by His word and He has placed the creating source of words within each of us. The Bible says that out of the heart flow the issues of life. It's not deeds that get us in trouble, it's words; but our deeds are our words. The Scripture teaches us that we are not to make oaths, but our yes is to be yes and our no is to be no (Mt. 5:34-37; Jam. 5:12). Why is this? It is because God understands the power of words.
God does everything by His word. How can we become a people who operate according to the prophetic principles of God and produce life in the earth? How can we allow words to flow forth in our lives that will change the world around us in a positive way? How can we release thoughts, verbal expressions, and actions that are all-powerful words, which produce the life of God in the earth? I want to be a part of a people who influence the communities of the earth by the power of God's word. This includes our thoughts, attitudes, verbal and visual expressions, as well as actions. Laughter is a word that breaks the power of depression. Peace is a word that breaks the power of confusion. Hope is a word that breaks the power of despair. Faithfulness is a word that breaks the power of faithlessness. I want to live, breathe, and become the power of God's word in the earth. God does everything by His word. If we can become people of God's word, we can change the world. This doesn't mean we become people of Scripture memory. The Scribes and the Pharisees were people of Scripture memory, but they were not people of the word of God. They quoted the Scriptures, but the true words that came from their mouths were words founded upon the attitudes of their hearts. God doesn't do everything by the Scriptures. God does everything by His Word. I am not making less of the value of the Scriptures in any way. I am simply clarifying the purpose of the Scriptures. The Scriptures testify of Him and are a confirmation to the true sound of God's words.
We are the people of God and as the people of God we must become expressions of God in flesh. We must become expressions of Him in our thoughts, attitudes, verbal and visual expressions, and our actions in life. When we become the sons and daughter of God as He intends for us to be, our world will change. God is not made in our likeness and image, we are born and formed to be as He is in this world. We are the ones who will change and as we change our world will also change by the power of His word, His expression in and through our lives.
Psalms 8:1 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory above the heavens! 2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, that You may silence the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, 4 what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? 5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 7 all sheep and oxen—even the beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!
We have been given dominion over everything that God created. Specifically, our personal dominion is in the realm of influence given to us by God in this life. We need the presence of God's Spirit to subdue what has been given to us. This is the power of God's grace that brings life to formless, void, and dark places in our world of influence. We need to become a manifestation of God's word in the flesh of our lives. We must become who we are intended to be in Christ. This is our flesh made an expression of our Father God. This is the power of dominion. It is truth. The truth of who we are in Christ and that truth will crumble every lie.
We cannot just know the word, we must become the word, but we cannot expect to become the word if we don't seek to know God's word. We must seek to know who God is and then we must be willing to become as He is. How we were born naturally is not how we remain. We are transformed by the power of God's grace at every revelation of Jesus Christ in our lives. It is not a revelation about Him, but a revealing of Him in our lives that changes us to become expressions of Him in this world.

If travel is education, then Mumbai is a teacher. I had an opportunity to take a 7 days crash course from this teacher and I hope the wisdom acquired stays with me. I went to museum, I saw play in theater, I enjoyed street food but something that stuck with me was the spirit of the city. In between all the chaos there is an order which keeps the city in place. After all a city with more than 10 million people requires some automated internal management.
Yes, Mumbai is crowded, polluted, humid, expensive and not a place which would be first choice of any one to settle down. But despite all the problems, 'Mumbaikars' love their city and if you stay in the city for few days you can figure out the reason yourself. Efficiency has been embedded into the lifestyle of everyone and you can witness the examples of effective utilization of time and available resources everywhere.
The way local trains operate is an important case study taught by the teacher Mumbai. Their departure times are scaled to minutes and nowhere else in India you will find departure times like 10:28 AM. At the ticket counters, queues move at a brisk rate and I never noticed any delay because of issues like non-availability of proper change. People get in proper queues and no one is jumping those. Trains arrive at correct time unless there are situations like flooding which are beyond control. Inside local trains you can watch people utilizing their time in different ways. The whole local train eco-system is lifeline of city.
Moving from trains to road will also make you notice some differences. Although traffic conditions on the roads is not much different from the other bigger cities of India, still traffic sense of people is much better than rest of India. If you hire an auto, you actually get to pay on metered rate and also get your change back. I am not saying walking on road is like walking on red carpet but experience on road is a bit better than other cities.
Mumbai has food and transport options for all the budgets. It's cheap to travel far distances in train/bus combination and adding the street food in your plan can help your travel in Mumbai at reasonable amount. There are various destinations which are absolutely free to destinations with a nominal fee. So if you can somehow manage the accommodation, you can travel in Mumbai on a tight budget.
My agenda for this trip was not to cover all 50 destinations so I am not going to tell how to cover all places. But I can tell you that going to Nehru Planetarium along with your kids will be good experience for entire family. I can also tell you walking on Marine Drive is one of the most romantic thing you can do in Mumbai although people do take their romance further 🙂 . It's actually not about what I can tell you to do in Mumbai. It's about taking one step further toward travel maturity where you travel a city in your own style, doing things which you want to do and being happy about the fact that you are able to walk peacefully where everyone is running around.
There has been written so much about Mumbai in the past and will be written in the future, but these are my notes taken during the lectures of crash course. I do not see myself suitable for the fast paced life of this city for long-term stay but I like the short stays in city. I don't have crush on my teacher but I respect it.
Note: As I wrote this post, I read about the unfortunate incident of stampede in Mumbai :(. Sad to read about death of more than 20 people. May their soul rest in peace. I know the incident is not in line with the post, but the whole point of post was to show the positive things in Mumbai which has its share of problems as well.

Wannacry & Qualys
As you will have read, Wannacry ransomware is taking advantage of systems which are missing Microsoft patch MS17-010 and/or Eternal flaws and propagates via SMB.
Qualys's detections for systems vulnerable are :
- 53007 IBM Lotus Domino Remote Code Execution – Shadow Brokers (EWORKFRENZY) – Zero Day
- 87284 Microsoft Internet Information Services 6.0 Buffer Overflow Vulnerability – Shadow Brokers (EXPLODINGCAN) Zero Day
- 91345 Microsoft SMB Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (MS17-010) and Shadow Brokers
- 91357 Microsoft Windows SMBv1 Remote Code Execution – Shadow Brokers (ETERNALCHAMPION) – Zero Day
- 91359 Microsoft Windows Remote Privilege Escalation – Shadow Brokers (ETERNALROMANCE) – Zero Day MS17-010
- 91360 Microsoft Windows SMBv1 and NBT Remote Code Execution – Shadow Brokers (ETERNALBLUE) – Zero Day
- 91361 Microsoft Windows SMBv3 Remote Code Execution – Shadow Brokers (ETERNALSYNERGY) – Zero Day
You can create a new static searchlist in your Qualys subscription called "Wannacry Detections" for these and report against that.
Additionally Qualys has created a further detection that detects the presence of the ransomware itself. This is:
- 1029 WannaCrypt Ransomware Detected
You can create a new static searchlist in your Qualys subscription called "Wannacry Compromised" for this and report against it.
All these detections require authenticated scanning.
To monitor the situation across your enterprise you can create a new Asset View Dashboard in Qualys for Ransomware. The image shows two widgets – one for compromised machines and one for vulnerable ones. These widgets auto-update as scans complete and don't require reports to be run.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The leader of an influential Christian conservative lobbying group said on Tuesday he backs Senator Ted Cruz for the U.S. Republican presidential nomination. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said on Fox News: "I believe the one who is best positioned, best prepared to lead this nation forward, pulling it out of the tailspin that this president has put us in, I believe is Ted Cruz." Cruz and billionaire businessman Donald Trump are locked in a tight Republican race in Iowa, which holds the first-in-the-nation nominating contest on Monday. …

Left-handed pitcher James Paxton walked into the interview area at Safeco Field this weekend when the Mariners held their annual FanFest — and the first question was easy: "Where's the rest of you?"
Paxton, now 27, is down 20 pounds or more since he ended last season relegated again to inactivity due to the latest in a series of odd and often baffling injuries.
"(The weight loss) was a little bit planned," he said. "Rick (Griffin, the head trainer) talked to me about losing 10 pounds or so. I did a little bit more than that. So I'm feeling really good and ready to go.
"I'm about 220, down from 240-ish. When I came in (as a rookie), I was right about 215-200. That's about where I'm at right now. I kind of hover between 215 and 220."
The overriding hope is a leaner Paxton is a more-athletic Paxton and less susceptible to what he terms "weird injuries" after pitching less than 75 innings in each of the past two seasons.
"I think it's time for me to show that I can last an entire an entire season," he acknowledged. "Knock on wood. Hopefully, I'm done with those (injuries) and can just move forward."
But Paxton's tone sharpens when asked for his response to those who contend his history shows he simply can't remain healthy.
"I'd say, 'You don't know what you're talking about,' " he countered. "I can't control a finger injury. It's not like I've blown out my elbow or shoulder. It's not because I don't work out or work hard.
"I'm just going to go out there and do what I do and trust that the work that I've done is going to keep me healthy."
It's a defensible point.
Paxton missed four months in 2014 because of a strained left latissimus dorsi muscle in his back. (Hisashi Iwakuma missed more than two months last season with a similar injury.)
"I think that injury, my lat, was because I was working out too hard," Paxton said. "I think I needed to draw back a little bit once the season started. I've learned that.
"With the training staff, I've made the adjustments necessary for that not to happen. But as far as the finger stuff, I feel like that's just a fluke thing. Just bad luck."
Maybe so.
Paxton missed time last spring when he bruised both forearms after stumbling to the ground during an agility drill. He recovered in time to begin the season in the rotation and made 10 starts before suffering a strained tendon in his middle finger.
The finger injury healed slowly because of its location. Efforts to accelerate the process by using paraffin wax, Paxton believes, prompted September problems with a blister and a torn nail on the same finger.
"It just softened my skin up so much," he said, "that when I started putting all of that pressure on it, (the nail) just lifted up."
That troublesome nail provided a possible benefit when Paxton returned to action in the Arizona Fall League as a way to log some innings. He was only permitted to throw fastballs and changeups. No breaking balls on the still-tender finger.
Paxton sharpened his changeup and began working with minor-league pitching coach Rich Dorman on a high fastball.
"Guys were always looking down in the zone for me," Paxton said, "because I have that (12-to-6) angle. But when I change the angle, and have a high fastball, they can't cheat down there all of the time. It makes it a lot harder for them.
"I'm looking forward to continuing to work on that in spring training."
The main thing, Paxton said, is he's healthy. And when healthy in the past, he often performed like a top-of-the rotation starter. Paxton is 12-8 in his career with a 3.16 ERA in 30 starts over the past three seasons.
Some perspective: A year ago, only five American League pitchers had better marks than 3.16 while pitching the 162 or more innings necessary to qualify for the ERA title.
"James Paxton has shown that he's capable of being (dominant) when he's out on the mound," general manager Jerry Dipoto said. "We need to make sure he's out on the mound."
Simply put, though, the Mariners' new administration isn't willing to bank on a healthy Paxton — or even guarantee that a healthy Paxton will open the season in the rotation.
"I think there's going to be a great competition for the fifth spot in our starting rotation," Dipoto said, "and I think we have, minimally, six and perhaps up to eight or nine legitimate candidates.
"The fact that our fifth or sixth starter may be physically as gifted as most people's two or three. I think that's exciting to me."
Let's break that down.
Longtime ace Felix Hernandez isn't going to be fighting this spring for a job. Barring injuries, veterans Hisashi Iwakuma and Wade Miley are also locks because of their contracts (guarantees of $12 million and $6.167 million in 2016).
That leaves Paxton, Taijuan Walker and newcomer Nathan Karns in a battle for two spots. All three have options — meaning they can be sent to the minors without clearing waivers — and none are likely to make more than $525,000.
But don't think all three are viewed evenly as the Feb. 19 start of spring camp approaches. Dipoto began gushing over Walker's potential when hired Sept. 29 as the club's new general manager.
"Right now, going in," Dipoto said, "Taijuan Walker made great progress over the last half, even last two-thirds of last year. I think you started to see some of what he was capable of, and we want to see him take one of those jobs."
That doesn't mean Walker couldn't pitch his way out of the rotation, but it seems to position Paxton and Karns are the likely candidates for the final spot. Karns, 28, was 7-5 with a 3.67 ERA last season at Tampa Bay.
"It's going to be a competitive thing," Paxton agreed, "but that's what baseball is. Nobody said it was going to be easy. I'm looking forward to the competition.
"I'm just going to go out there and do the same thing I do no matter what the circumstances: That's just compete to the best of my ability."
That starts with being healthy and, right now, Paxton is healthy.
"I don't want to talk about injuries anymore," he said. "I just want to talk about baseball. Hopefully, this year it will be all about winning games and not `when are you coming back?' "
Outfielder Herschel Mack Powell is used to explaining how he came to be called Boog even though he is no relation and bares scant resemblance to the burly power-hitting first baseman who spent 17 years in the big leagues from 1961-77.
"No, it wasn't my grandpa's favorite baseball player," he said. "They called my grandfather Herschel. They called my dad Mack, and I needed a name when I was a kid.
"I went by Little Mack for a while, and then my dad started calling me Boog. My dad coached me in baseball. I went to school with my baseball friends. They would call me that at school. Then everyone just started calling me Boog. It just stuck."
The Mariners acquired Powell, 23, from Tampa Bay on Nov. 5 as part of a six-player trade. He batted a combined .295 with a .385 on-base percentage last season in 61 games at Double-A Montgomery and 56 games at Triple-A Durham.
Powell said he has never met the other Boog, who now owns a barbecue stand that operates at Orioles' ballpark in Baltimore.
"Nope," the younger Powell said. "I'm waiting until I get to Camden Yards. I'll go out and get some barbecue."
The Mariners took a small step into the burgeoning Cuban talent pool recently by signing utilityman Dayner Moreira to a minor-league contract.
Moreira, 32, spent time with the Cuban national team before defecting last year after the Caribbean World Series. He will report to the Mariners' minor-league mini-camp, which begins Feb. 21 in Peoria, Ariz.
"What you have is a 32-year-old who can really, really run," said Tom Allison, the club's vice president of player personnel. "He's got multi-positional flexibility. He can play short. He can play third.
"We've never seen him in the outfield. Maybe he can run out to left field. Maybe he can be another depth option."
Moreira is a slasher-type hitter who draws comparisons to Pedro Ciriaco, a six-year veteran who recently signed with Texas. Moreira agreed to a standard minor-league contract that did not include a signing bonus.
"He hasn't played active games in a year," Allison said. "That's why we're going to bring him in early (to mini-camp). We're trying to add depth and flexibility. That's one thing he can do."

Craft has healed many of my own generational wounds and brought me back to spirit. We all need it, whether we know it or not. In the absence of hand-made things, our culture is lost. Just as connecting with our food brings greater meaning to our lives, so connecting with the people who make everyday items brings meaning to the things we use in day to day life.
When items are made by hand, they have their own soul, teachings and memories to share with us. Tradition creates lineage, and that lineage connects us to the birth of time and the creation of the universe.
Katie Botkin wrote an article http://www.spokesman.com/…/kalispel-paddle-the-pend-oreil…/… about the Kalispel paddle in their traditional dug out canoes. The photos below are of a sturgeon nose canoe, which I've been enamored with since moving to this region.
The boat was created by a super cool guy we met, Shawn Brigman, http://shawn-brigman.squarespace.com/ who was kind enough to let us paddle her.
Traditionally the skin of the boat was made with inverted Western white pine bark, but we've lost many of that relative to blight decades ago and we are less culturally rich for it.
It's not humans by themselves who create culture. Culture is born out of our relationship with the earth and each other. If you want to save your culture, turn to the earth and begin anew.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website in a search engine's natural or unpaid (organic) search results. This includes searches through Google, Bing, Yahoo!, etc. It is driven through a combination of keywords and links associated with your site and online brand. With just a little bit of tweaking, your site can perform better and rank higher in searches, more effectively reaching your target client.
One of the most important elements to building an online marketing strategy around SEO is empathy for your audience. Once you grasp what your target market is looking for, you can more effectively reach those users.
Once you've established what your potential clients are looking for, write down a few keywords that encompass your business. For example, if you are an accountant, your keywords might be: tax help, accounting help, bookkeeping, payroll, etc.
The next step is to make sure these keywords appear on your site. It's important that these words are featured in a natural, organic way, either through an introduction paragraph, "about us" page, or a services page. Think about other ways you may be able to focus on these keywords, either through additional website content or a blog entry.
These keywords can also be added into the back-end of your site through the meta-tags area. This is going to help the web recognize your keywords faster.
Finally, setting up and adding the Google Analytics tool to your site will help you see which keywords are driving traffic to your site!
Have any questions? Feel free to reach out to our team at Green Bag Designs, a boutique marketing firm in Charleston, SC. We can be reached at (843) 860-1944.

As far as I can tell, everything's back to normal with me, well… as normal as I can be. I, myself, am far from "normal". You get the gist, anyway. I haven't had any episodes or swelling since Tuesday, so all is well in that department. I've slowly been getting things done this week, mostly errands and jewelry, but also a bit of cleaning. I'm so glad it's finally Friday!
So, I thought I'd share a few funny things today. First of all, I've discovered a new thing my cats are doing. Not sure why, but it's happening. Apparently, they like the smell of my sandals so much, they've tried to dig in for closer inspection.
So, then I decided to wear these shoes to work.
They look great on me except for the fact that I'm so not used to wearing shoes like that, I walk like a duck. It's really a sight to behold. There should be a video of this.
In other news, I got some awesome new glass beads from someone I talk to who makes them! They're so pretty! I just don't know what to use them with first!!
Also, my creativeness has been kicked into hyper drive. I have little notes and diagrams scribbled all over my planner for this week. Plus, I've started making some of them. I made some new bracelets but also, these great hair clips!
I'm so happy with how these turned out! There will be a lot of different colors and even more types of hair accessories and other new jewelry to come! I'm so very excited about all of it. I'm thinking that by Grape Jamboree weekend, I'll have a bunch of new stuff up for grabs! I also hope to find time to work on adding more for to the shop this weekend. This weekend will be dedicated to me purging the apartment of things I want to sell in the upcoming garage sale next weekend, packing, and making stuff! So, expect some fun updates coming up! Oh, and I've updated my events section! Be sure to check it out!! Thanks for stopping by!

It's best not to issue a challenge to a class of bright people. It has a way of ricocheting. I recently posted a series of questions for my RCIA class that included a list of Biblical personages with the query: who are these people, what did they do and what does it teach us as Catholics. One smarty-pants asked for answers…….
It's actually an interesting exercise. I instituted the list a year ago because I found that more than a few people in my RCIA and Confirmation classes had gaps in their Biblical knowledge, making it difficult to draw story lines though the great scope of salvation history. I find now as I work my way back through the list that my journey and my classes have opened up a great deal more to me over the years. People I thought I knew well, I have come to know better. They point out ever fresh dimensions to my own story and the great sweep of God's action in the world.
Take Adam and Eve. Reading the story of the creation again, I was struck by a couple of things. First, of course, is the fact that there are two stories of creation in Genesis. The first is a simple tale, but it conveys the essentials: God made everything in creation, and He made us, male and female, in His image, blessed us and blessed us to give life and to be stewards of the earth. The second story carries these essentials, but expands them. The New American Bible has God molding Adam out of clay but the Douay Rheims uses the term slime—a much less tidy word. You can make pots from clay, but I'm hard pressed to find any particularly good use for slime…. the Bible of my youth, the King James version, has it as dust. In any case, the material stuff of our origin is pretty humble but by the hand and breath of God, we became something beautiful, made in the image and likeness of God. But it happens only because God laid his hands on us and breathed in us His own breath. It's a pretty powerful metaphor for how we are to live our lives, holding God's hand and asking for the gift of His Spirit.
The Baltimore Catechism started out with a question about our purpose in life. To know God, to love God and to serve Him in this world so that I might be happy with Him in the next. Adam and Eve—at least until the unfortunate incident with the fruit—had the knowing and loving part already. The brief description of their life before the fall gives us a glimpse of what living life as it God wills it would be: the wholeness God intendeds and creates for us. Adam, it would seem, didn't ask for a wife—God recognized that he needed one. Not a bad lesson for us. God really does know our needs before we do. And before the fall, in Eden, Adam and Eve live as they were made to live: in deep and easy communion with God, who made them, unafraid and unashamed.
Ah, but there's that pesky serpent, that sin of pride, of wanting to be like God, and wanting to make the rules. There's a case to be made that the sin of pride is the root of all other sins. There is the contrast of Mary with Eve, and that language about enmity between Woman and the Serpent, all language of type that, looking back, is the thread from which the tapestry of the Nativity and the Crucifixion are eventually woven. There's the fist of a long series of first sons in the Bible who fail miserably, only to be set right by the second sons. Adam, and the fall; Jesus, the New Adam, and the resurrection. But lately what strikes me about the story is the theme of reconciliation that runs through it.
God looks for Adam in the garden after Adam and Even have eaten the fruit, just as He looks for us today. Adam, ashamed has hidden himself, a practical absurdity given an all-knowing God. But God doesn't grab Adam by the scruff of the neck and drag him out of the bushes, demanding satisfaction. He calls out from a distance, and asks Adam why he is hiding. God knows, of course. He's not asking for information. It seems to me that God is asking for Adam to admit he's done something wrong, and to be open to righting his relationship with Him.
Adam, for his part, like every son and daughter of Adam since, just can't bring himself to do what is needed. He just can't be humble and admit what he has done—humility being, after all, an acknowledgement of the truth. He dissembles, he lies, then he blames Eve, who blames the serpent—between the two of them, they try every human maneuver to avoid the circumstances.
The trajectory of the story is that once fallen, Adam and Eve simply cannot do what is needed—and the story doesn't really tell what that might be—to restore the relationship with God. It seems pretty clear that, left to our own devices, we'll make things worse every time—compounding disobedience with lies and blame. Righting that relationship with God is going to depend entirely, in the end, on God: the first in a long series of lessons about the need for God's grace that ends on a cross in First Century Palestine.
I wonder every time I read this: What if Adam and Eve had just said, "I messed up, God. I did exactly what You told me not to do, and I am sorry!" Would mankind have lost Paradise?
No matter. That was then this is now. They didn't and we did. But the story reminds me of a few of the basic essentials from which my Catholic faith begins:
There is a God.
I am not He.
He made me and He loves me
He knows what I have done.
He looks for me even when I have sinned.
The Exultet at Easter puts it together this way: O happy fault, that gained for us so great a Redeemer. God, in his knowledge, knew Adam would sin, just as He knew Adam had sinned when he hid from God in the garden. He knew that calls to reconciliation alone would not reconcile man to Himself, but He had a plan from the first instant of creation to do just that. That plan would restore man not to the earthly paradise that Adam and Eve lost for us—but to a heavenly one. Instead of an earthly perfection, Adam's sin ultimately gives us access to supernatural life with God.
It's becoming clear to me that the Catholic Church expects me to take seriously Christ's admonition to be perfect as God in heaven is perfect, acknowledging all the while that it isn't going to happen this side of the grave. Like Adam (and Eve) , I cannot do it on my own, but because of Adam (and Eve) , God sent the means into the world—His Son—for me, someday, to become perfect by His sacrifice and His grace. It' a pretty good inheritance from our first parents.
