Second is Sara's 'One Fine Day' - very easy to scrap with!
Finally is Mel's 'In My Dreams' - very dreamy! TTFN.

Great layouts!! I don't suppose that first one that you did with the "Little Fruity" kit might end up as a template? I love the circle shape!

Discover What The Facebook Data Can Give You When Uploading A Video or Going LIVE on Your Facebook Business Page. It's Incredible!
Below you can either watch my own Facebook Live Video for all the details, or better still, register for a 4-part video series where I have recorded the whole Keynote presentation, with an extra module at the end showing you where to find the Custom Audience when creating your Facebook Ad Campaign.
Going LIVE On Stage
I was fortunate enough to talk to over 1,000 people at the Bolton Macron Stadium on 24th September 2016, which was my very first talk on such a huge stage to so many people. Up until this point my largest audience had been 150!
The nerves definitely kicked in on the build up to this huge event, however, once I got on stage it wasn't half as bad as I'd made it out to be in my head. That's usually the case though, right? Nothing like fighting the fear.
Although when you're talking about a topic you're passionate about (and of course you practice your craft and rehearse your slides), then this certainly helps to calm the nerves!
What You Will Learn By Watching
The Video?
Reading The Data
In this video I not only talk about the impact of Video Marketing on Facebook, I dive in and give you some step-by-step training on the Data you get when you either upload a Video to your Facebook Business Page, or if you go LIVE on your Facebook Business Page.
You will also learn how to Edit your video so that it has all the relevant information and CTA's (call to actions) and also choose a thumbnail image that people will see in the Newsfeed.
I also show you how you can very easily use the content again by hitting a Create New Post button. This is great if you had a video that did really well, yet in 2-3 months time you have lots of new people that have liked your page and didn't get to see your video. A great way to re-purpose your content and get engagement.
Create A Custom Target Audience
You will also learn how to create what is known as a Custom Audience using one of your Videos as a targeting option, which is incredibly powerful when it comes to creating Advertising Campaigns to a warm audience.
Basically it means that Facebook will capture the details of those that have watched your video. So when you create a Facebook Ad Campaign it now means that you can choose a targeting option of those who have already seen a previous video of yours.
In other words - people who have already connected with you and your brand, making them a 'warm audience' - building the Know, Like & Trust.
Watch The Training Video From The LIVE Event
Below is the Facebook LIVE video from the event. Unfortunately the sound didn't kick in until 3mins 21secs - so you can scroll on to this time to start watching the video.
To get access to the 4-part recorded Keynote Presentation from the event, scroll down the page.
Note: The volume kicks in at 3mins 21secs, so scroll to this point to get started.
Want To Get The Full Keynote Presentation?
Below I have created a 4-part video series of the full Keynote Presentation.
As you can see from the image below it has been broken down into 4 bite-size chunks, rather than watching a full Live 50 minute video above.
How To Get The Videos
To get access to the 4-part video series all you need to do is click the SEND VIDEOS TO MESSENGER button below and we'll send them direct to your Facebook Messenger, where you'll get access.
If you haven't messaged the Ribbit Media Facebook Page before, then simply click 'Get Started' after hitting the button below. Our lovely Ribbit Chatbots will take care of you from there!
24th September 2016
Here's a few photos that were taken from the live event.
And yes, that tiny person on the stage is me! Wow, this really was the most incredible day of my Ribbit Media Solutions business to-date.
For all the business owners reading this right now, my message to you is.....
If something scares the crap out of you, but you know it's aligned with your goals - say YES and worry later.
Growth is most definitely on the other side fear!

Question about Universal Remote Control DIRECTV Universal Remote Control
We got our parents an Emerson TV LC320EM8 for Christmas. The only problem is that the Dish Network Universal Remote will not recognize any of the codes provided in the book. Any suggestions of codes or ways to program the remote so they don't have to have two remotes lying around?
Posted by Bhuffman on
Hi, Bhuffman! I bought the LC320EM8 today and am having the same problem. I have an electronics degree and nothing gets past me. My local Dish Network provider says I need to sign up for another 18 month contract, which gets me new equipment and remotes; I've seen this dirty sales trick done before. The new remotes Dish Network has won't program a new digital tv any better than the old remotes. For now, until Dish Network or DirecTV convert to ALL DIGITAL and Hi-Def, I believe we're stuck using two remotes. In a few months (hopefully) some satellite provider will have real digital capabilities and compatability and connectivity for convenient and user friendly operation.
I have the same problem with the Emerson LC320EM8A. Bought one for my parents for Christmas who are 87 years old and they need two remotes to operate the living room set. The Panasonic in the kitchen works fine. I've called Emerson and gotten codes for other makers and tried all of those and I've recently gone on line with Directv to get more codes some which I have already tried but there are some new ones that I haven't tried yet. email@example.com
I have the same problem with a Emerson LCD 32" digital tv I bought at Walmart. I cannot program the universal remote (I control) to operate the tv's volume and on/off switch. None of the codes work.
i got an lc320em9 "32 tv and cannot seem to program my rc64 directv remote control to work my tv.If anything is found on this issue or there is a code,i would appreciate that information.I tried the codes that wre on the directv website and cannot seem to get tjem.email me at mvstyle firstname.lastname@example.com
i got a lc320em9 "32 tv that cannot figure out the code for a rc64 directv remote.I tried the codes provided by the directv website,but have not any success.I would appreciate the help in resolving this matter. Thank you
I have a LC320EM9 32" Emerson... I cannot get the DISH TV remote to control the TV. I have tried ALL the codes. Please let me know if a solution is found. Thank you. email@example.com
I have Verzion FIOS TV and cannot program their universal remote for the Emerson LC320EM9...anybody else out there have any success with the Verizon remote?
same problem.
Same Issue... Please notify me if someone has a code that works. Thanks!
I have the same problem Just connected to Fios with remote RC44. Cannot find device code for this TV. I have gone through the whole list at least 5 times plus others that verizon gave me on the phone. HELP!!!
I just purchased the same TV and have the same problem using a verizon fios remote. I've tried every code several times and cannot get it to work. Does this TV simply have a remote code that's out of range?
Can program Dish Network remote control to Emerson LC320EM9 HD TV.
I have the same problem. Purchased the Emerson HDTV for hubby's birthday. Now I can not get the Dish Satalite remote to pick up code signal from TV. Help. Tried all codes from Dish booklet as well as from online. NOTHING is working (code wise) Like others I would love to have 1 remote to control all. Need answer - anyone with it?
We have the same problem, we just purchased a television (Emerson LC320EM9 ) at Wal-mart and called Dish network. We went over all of their code numbers and the remote still wont work. We need to figure out something because the silly television is already installed high up on our wall.
I have the same tv and the same problem with my Cox universal remote
Same problem with (BLC320EM9) DishNetwork's 6.0 remote. Power scanned for 15 minutes. Soar thumb...
Same problem here. Called DISH and they gave me some extra codes which also didn't work. Per technician at Dish, they update codes daily. Suggested trying periodically.
I have the same problems with my new emerson and dish network. i can't believe they cant come up with a solution. Email firstname.lastname@example.com
I don't have a problem at all using 4 remotes, which we are. Lol. We just want our dvd player to work. I don't know WHICH remote I'm supposed to fo what to. Its not working using the dvd remote. Which and how can I make it work??? Pls help and yes I'm blond.
This worked for me. I had to scan down quite a few times but eventually my tv turned off and I set the code with the # button. It may work for you too and save you some money on a UR.
Scan For Device Codes If the code for the device you are programming is not listed in the user manual or on this site, try these steps to scan the remote controls memory for device codes.
1) Turn the power on the device on
2) Select and hold the mode button for which you are programming, such as the TV button, on the remote until you see all the lights of the mode buttons flash. Once you let go, that mode button that you chose should now be blinking. When using the Aux mode button only use the number pad to enter 0 for a second TV, 1 for a second VCR/DVD, 2 for a amplifier, tuner, or cable box. Then press the STAR (*) button.
3) Press the power button on the Dish Network remote control.
4) Repeatedly press the UP or DOWN button on the remote to scan for the correct code (do this slowly so you do not skip over the right code for your device). When the correct code is reached the device will turn off.
5) Press the POUND (#) button to store the code in the Dish Network remote.
6) Press the power button to turn the device back on and try using other buttons on the remote to make sure that they also work. Sometimes the power button will work while others may not.

I had the same problem with the emerson lc320em8. I thought i was just going to have to live with it, until I tried solution #3 with dish remote and it worked. Go slow and about 30 to 40 tries down should work
Posted on Aug 29, 2009
I had the same issue. I purchased a Logitech Harmony 520 at Walmart and voila everything works. It's the slickest device I have seen. Setup by PC software it easily allows remote key customization. Highly recommended.
Posted on Sep 11, 2008
I also ran into this problem, the installation guy gave up on the code
search. however, the universal remote idea saved me, and got rid
of alot of remote clutter. i purchased a "sony rm-vl610" universal learning remote from target for $30, and recommend it highly.

In the more recent years of our adulthood, we have done quite a few road trips. But if we were to choose the most epic ones so far, there are three that come to mind. What's amazing to realize is that the three were in three different parts of the world and completely different from one another! Here they are …
1. Road Tripping across New Zealand, South Island
New Zealand felt like Scotland on steroids mainly because of the sunny weather. It's the most picturesque place on earth we've been to, ever! It's true when people say you really have to concentrate to stay focused on the road because the landscapes are so breathtaking.
We covered multiple destinations, stayed in all types of accommodation ranging from hostels, airbnbs to a camping site in the middle of nowhere, cooked our own meals, gorged at restaurants and ate at food carts.
See our NZ road trip itinerary – click here and you can watch our vlog here.
2. Road trip from Leeds to the Scottish Highlands (Fort William, Isle of Skye)
The highlands felt like a dream, the clouds and mist around adding to the surrealism. The English countryside along the way, sheep farms, lochs and snow covered peaks so close to the beautiful road was a first for us.
The best part was staying in a camping pod at this campsite called Bunroy park at Fort William. Sleeping snug and warm in sleeping bags, trudging to the common bathroom in the cold and making breakfast at the camp turned out to be an amazing adventure. Whisky Distillery tour at Dalwhinnie, stop over at the Iain Burnett Highland Chocolatier for the most amazing mug of hot chocolate and stop over at the lookout at Laggan Dam were other highlights.
Read our post on the road trip, click here and see time-lapses captured from our action cam here.
3. Road trip from Mumbai to Agra via Udaipur & Ranthambore National Park, India
There was so much diversity to our experiences on this one. We started from Mumbai and first stop was Udaipur, a lovely lake city in the state of Rajasthan. Next was open jeep safaris chasing Bengal tigers at Ranthambore and final stop was Agra, a historic town and the world renowned Taj Mahal.
Read more about this trip at these posts – Part 1 and Part 2.

International Women's Day 2015: The Women Who Have Inspired Us
Every year, International Women's Day recognises the achievements of women, and celebrates how far we have come in terms of equality. The theme for Women's Day this year is 'Make it Happen'- a call to further advance the position of women and girls and to recognise their many contributions to society. So, in the run-up to this Women's Day, we are celebrating just a few of the amazing women around the world who inspired us in 2014!
Malala Yousafzai
In December, Malala Yousafzai became the youngest person to ever receive the Nobel Peace Prize, at only 17 years old. Malala has been an advocate for the rights of all children to education since she was 11, and despite all obstacles she has not let anything stand in her way. This year the Nobel committee honoured her bravery and acknowledged her 'heroic struggle'. In her acceptance speech, Malala said: "This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education… I am here to stand up for their rights, to raise their voice."
Maryam Mirzakhani
In August, Maryam Mirzakhani became the first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious prize in mathematics (often referred to as the Mathematics Nobel Prize!) Mirzakhani, who is Iranian, is currently a professor of mathematics at Stanford University. Mirzakhani says she was not particularly good at maths at school, but she never gave up: "The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to patient followers."
Rosie King
With a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome and two younger siblings with autism, Rosie King has always wanted to make the world a more tolerant and understanding place. Rosie first gained attention in 2011 when she presented a BBC Newsround documentary called My Autism and Me. By that point she had already appeared on local news, talking about her work illustrating children's books. In November 2014, Rosie was invited to speak to 1,000 delegates at a conference in Washington DC, and gave a talk titled 'How autism freed me to be myself.' In her talk Rosie challenged common misconceptions about autism, and shared what her autism has helped her achieve, including her vivid imagination and the ability to communicate with her two non-verbal siblings. Rosie closed her speech with this quote: "Instead of punishing anything that strays from the normal, why not celebrate uniqueness and cheer every time someone unleashes their imagination?"
Laverne Cox
In May, Laverne Cox became the first transgender person to appear on the cover of Time magazine. Cox says she was 'majorly bullied' while growing up for appearing feminine and being 'different'. She now uses her celebrity status to fight for equal rights for transgender people, and is an inspiration to anyone who does not feel defined by society's labels. In Cox's own words: "We are not what other people say we are. We are who we know ourselves to be, and we are what we love."
Emma Watson
Most people know Emma Watson for playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series. But she is also a UN Goodwill Ambassador, and in September, she gave a speech to launch the UN HeForShe campaign. Her speech pointed out how narrow gender stereotypes harm both men and women, and delivered an important message: In order to achieve equality, men and women must stand together! Emma will also be hosting a special HeforShe event in London this year for International Women's Day.
Who are some of the women who have inspired you this year? Are you doing anything to celebrate Women's Day 2015? Let us know in the comments below!

when MKP presents creative, expect the unexpected
Don't get us wrong – each concept will focus relentlessly on your strategic goals. We will respect your brand voice, honor your budget and dovetail seamlessly with your other marketing initiatives. But somewhere in our presentation, you're going to find something that will make you sit up and take notice, laugh out loud or think about the opportunities of your brand in a new and exciting way.
We call this the chocolate/strawberry/pistachio approach to creative concepts: something you're sure to like, something fresh and different and something undeniably unique. While we describe this range of ideas playfully, we're very serious about it. Our job is to expand your taste buds so you can be certain about what you really, truly want.
What about vanilla? Sorry, while creativity abounds at MKP, vanilla creative is not on the menu. We'll give it to you if you ask, but even then, we'll probably find a way to add a few sprinkles.

University of Wisconsin – Madison
Madison, Wisconsin
This symposium brings together contributors to a newly burgeoning mode of work that sits at—and defies—the boundaries between scholarly research and creative art related to nature and the history of science. How does research on past scientific ideas and practices inform art? How do present-day scientific, historical, and experiential methods help us understand the relations between artistic and scientific practices of the past and open new relations in the present? Just how does work that bridges science, history, and art, or that merges scholarship and creative production, disrupt the traditional conventions of artistic and scholarly spaces? Conversely, what sorts of spaces can provide suitable homes for such work? Scholars, artists, and scholar-artists at all career levels at the UW-Madison will join invited external speakers to present their responses to these questions and engage in group reflection on how we might advance this work in all its forms.

My husband and I attended the NHF Regional Conference, Bridging the Gap Between Patient & Clinician, yesterday in Dallas, TX. So, I'd like to pass along some of the things we learned at the conference.
Serene Branson was the keynote speaker. She shared about her on-air migraine attack that happened in February. She has partnered with the NHF to help educate others about migraine.
There were several doctors there that spoke about related topics. Please join me over the next few days, as I share some of what each of them covered (it may not be new information, but it's always good to refresh and return to the basics).
This blog is a place that I can share my personal journey as a chronic Migraineur, help raise awareness of Migraine, and provide a safe and open space for discussion with others that are experiencing their own battles.

Client Name: Mr. David Canagasabey & Family Nationality: Australian Transport service was very good and driver Selvakumar was excellent. We are very much satisfied with the accommodation provided. The sightseeing and the tour coverage was excellent. Houseboat followed by the day tour was really a great experience.

Client Name: Mr / s. Ewing Nationality: USA Our driver was very friendly and an excellent. He was available whoever we wanted him and suggested places to go. We would highly recommend him. All of our tour guides were very knowledgeable & friendly. "Winnie" even arranged to have a birthday cake for me at the hotel restaurant a nice extra touch. We weren't quite sure what to expect since we had never done a tour like this. This exceeded our expectations and we are already talking about doing a Southern India tour next year.

We can hope that Elliott has found some release from the suffering that resounds in these words - and those of us that found in him a truly empathic soul can be thankful that he gave us a voice of uncompromising honesty.

ARGH 22 Aug, 2003
For some time now in addition to the day job, I've been holding another position, a role that is not paid, that receives little thanks, and is painful in the extreme. Many of you will be familiar with it. I am talking, of course, about the role of "Miscellaneous Family Computer Support". Around six weeks ago our household was hit by something bad. Something very bad.
We got our first Windoze PC.
Shudder. Yes, this house has always been a Mac shop, and as such, the study has always been a hive of productivity, calmness, and gentle language. Not any more. Oh no. You can find me swearing as Win98 crashes for the umpteenth time, plug 'n' pray goes tits up, or the machine refuses to see the network. I won't drag you through all the pain, suffice it to say that yes, at the moment Win98 is the only option, yes, we have re-installed, and after the latest security service pack for IE6 (you know, those things M$ insist you install if you're to be a good citizen), my wife's PC now looks like the image above. I don't know how tech. support people do it — this kind of stuff just drives me up the wall.
Bag o'shite. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Windows sucks.

#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Cassandra Clare to Publish Adult Series Based on the Life of Beloved Character Magnus Bane
Click to read more
#1 New York Times bestselling author Cassandra Clare has signed a deal with Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, to publish a series of novels for adults that will feature one of her most beloved Shadowhunters characters, Magnus Bane. The series will explore the life and times of Magnus Bane and will be cowritten by bestselling author Wesley Chu. The first book is slated to be published in hardcover, digital and audio editions in November 2017, and published simultaneously by Simon & Schuster in the United Kingdom and Australia.
"Over the years writing the Shadowhunter books, Magnus Bane has emerged as one of the most fun and fascinating characters for me to bring to life," said Cassandra Clare. "He's always had a lot of secrets— there are so many things we don't know about Magnus, from the story of his first love to the secrets of his parentage, to the beginning of his relationship with Alec. All those are things I was able to touch on in The Bane Chronicles, but I'm excited to dig in even more deeply in these three volumes devoted to Magnus, his past, his future, and his present."
Wesley Chu added, "I am so excited to contribute to the world that Cassandra Clare has created. These books and characters are iconic, and Magnus is a fan favorite. I can't wait to give them all the things they deserve. And probably a few they don't. Sorry, Magnus."
"Magnus Bane has quickly become one of the most complex and iconic characters in fantasy," said Justin Chanda, Vice President and Publisher, Saga Press. "I am sure fans will be thrilled to find out more about his life and times. I certainly am!"
Chanda acquired North American rights from Russell Galen of the Scovil Galen Ghosh Literary Agency, Inc. Joe Monti, Editorial Director of Saga Press, will edit the series. Simon & Schuster UK Managing Director Alexandra Maramenides acquired the UK rights. Danny Baror and Heather Baror-Shapiro of Baror International, Inc. represented the authors in the UK acquisition.
Cassandra Clare is the author of the #1 New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Publishers Weekly bestselling Mortal Instruments series and the Infernal Devices trilogy, and the coauthor of The Bane Chronicles with Sarah Rees Brennan and Maureen Johnson. She also wrote The Shadowhunter's Codex with her husband, Joshua Lewis. Her books have more than thirty-six million copies in print worldwide and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. Her latest novel, Lady Midnight, Book 1 of the Dark Artifices trilogy, was published on March 8 and spent eight straight weeks at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list. Cassandra lives in western Massachusetts.
Wesley Chu is an award-winning science fiction author. Born in Taiwan, he immigrated to the United States when he was young and was raised in the fields of Nebraska before settling in Chicago, Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois and received a degree in information systems. Chu has published seven books, and in 2015 won the John W. Campbell Best New Writer Award. His debut novel, The Lives of Tao, earned him the Alex Award by the Young Adult Library Services Association and was selected by Goodreads as a Science Fiction Choice Award Finalist. Chu's Time Salvager has been optioned for a movie by Paramount with Michael Bay attached as director.

Saga Press to Publish Two Science Fiction Novels from Award-Winning Author Kameron Hurley
Click to read more
New York, New York, December 15, 2014: Award-winning author Kameron Hurley has sold two new science fiction novels, to Simon and Schuster's new genre imprint Saga Press.
The Stars are Legion is a standalone space opera for fans of Ann Leckie and China Mieville; set within a system of decaying world-ships travelling through deep space, it follows the feud between the matriarchal families of two of the world-ships, whose feud will grow into a war to wrest control of the fading hopes of the legion of worlds. Joe Monti at Saga Press bought North American and audio rights to 2 books on an exclusive submission from Hannah Bowman at Liza Dawson Associates.
Publication is planned for Fall 2016. U.K., translation, and film rights handled by Liza Dawson Associates.
Joe Monti says about the new project: "This will show a new facet of Hurley's writing that both echoes the visceral intimacy of God's War and the epic scale of the Mirror Empire trilogy with a level of action-packed immediacy within The Stars Are Legion. I think this book will be an exciting debut to the many-layered imagination that the field has come to expect from a Kameron Hurley novel. It's like Mad Max meets Henry V but aboard a world-sized Wayland-Yutani spaceship."
Hannah Bowman says: "The Stars Are Legion has everything I like best about Kameron's writing: flawed characters, off-the-charts creativity, and visceral, brutal ideas and descriptions that place you right in the middle of strange new worlds. She writes science fiction at its strangest and best."
Kameron says about the new book: "You can indeed expect the best from me in this one: war, revenge, rebels, rotting spaceships.... melted half-people, casual cannibalism, flesh-eating recycler monsters, aborted worlds, frozen spacewalkers, three-headed seers, and cancerous bottom-world mechanics, and oh yes an epic war between two families fighting it out for supremacy in a dying legion of starships. Incredibly excited to see this book out in the world with the enthusiastic help and support of Joe Monti and Saga Press."

Saga Press to Publish First Fantasy Novel by International Bestselling Author Joanne M. Harris
Click to read more
New York, New York, November 24: Saga Press announced today that it will publish The Gospel of Loki, the first fantasy novel by Joanne M. Harris, author of Chocolat. The Gospel of Loki was a bestseller in the UK and will be published in the US on May 5, 2015.
Loki is a Norse god like no other. From his recruitment by Odin from the realm of Chaos, through his years as the go-to man of Asgard, to his fall from grace in the build-up to Ragnarok, The Gospel of Loki is the unofficial history of the world's ultimate unreliable narrator.
Joanne M. Harris is best known as the author of the Whitbread-shortlisted Chocolat (made into an Academy Award–nominated film starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp) and many other bestselling novels, but she is also a Norse mythology fan and fantasy reader. She plays bass guitar in a band first formed when she was sixteen, is currently studying Old Norse, and lives with her husband and daughter in Yorkshire, about fifteen miles from the place she was born.
"As Loki would say, bringing his story to Saga Press, of all places, has the ring of destiny to it," Harris says. "But he has been known to exaggerate the truth, from time to time."
Executive editor Joe Monti acquired US Rights from Jessica Purdue, Rights Manager at the Orion Publishing Group, via Peter Robinson of Rogers, Coleridge & White, LTD.
"The Gospel of Loki cuts deep as the wittiest and wisest comedies do," says Monti. "Publishing Joanne's debut fantasy novel begs the need for a pinch to make sure I'm not dreaming."

'Open Forum - Question and Answers' session at the end of the presentation by Jan Muren of 4 Subsea AS
Steve Patterson from Shell. The question I have probably also relates back to the last speaker as well in that one of the problems we have in designing the total system is looking at the CP requirements and really there's no real clear guidance apart from I think its tucked away in a DNV document somewhere that you're supposed to look at, or assess a one metre level of damage to the sheath and it's very difficult to actually design your CP system to actually accommodate protection from the CP. And the other issue you've always got, is you need a circuit so therefore your wires actually have to connect through the end fitting that's subsea. Now you have to rely on the suppliers to actually confirm that you have that continuity because they're all very secretive about their end fittings so you never know for sure whether you have that continuity. So there's a whole load of issues around CP and I just wondered whether you've actually looked at what the actual CP requirements are for these flexibles?
Jan Muren - 4 Subsea (Presenter). I don't think I have a good answer to that except from I have a comment about fabrication and I've been part of the FAT testing on flexibles several times and one of the activities that should be tested and documented is continuity between the end fitting and the wires so normally that is well taken care of but what requirements you should put on when you add anodes that you normally don't need because you don't expose any armour steel - I don't know, sorry.

Wongan Hills can be found about 2.5 hours north east of Perth. The drive to this town is spectacular because you see so many interesting things – if you look for them! Otherwise the road can be long and tedious.
Right next to Wongan Hills Community Resource Centre is a white building like structure with a fence around it. With a big sign saying "Railway Restoration Project", you are inclined to assume that this is a 'keep out zone'. However, there is a little gate which you can open and wonder through.
Upon entering I could not help but feel a thousand eyes looking back at me. I had this eerie feeling that this was haunted. Everything about it made my hairs stand on end….and not entirely sure why. I don't normally get nervous walking around buildings like this, but this one really spooked me.
There was a long passage way with rooms aligned on each side. I could envision these rooms being transformed into hotel rooms because they would be to small for anything else. With a sense of spookiness I began to wonder the history behind it. Part of me was curious to find out and the other part was more interested to let 'sleeping history …..stay sleeping'.
The thought of turning it into a hotel brings back memories when I stayed at the GoldRush Hotel in Johannesburg. It was originally accommodation for miners. After the closure of the mine, developers turned it into a hotel. I was staying alone in one of the rooms and I had that same eerie feeling that there was more to the place than was being told.
When I entered into my room, which was interior had a strong Victorian theme, I could sense that I was not alone. The bath tub was an Victorian Style design and it was partially closed by a semi-see through Chinese Room Divider. When I ran the bath tub I saw a strange sort of steam come off the water. I put it off to the change in atmosphere and high altitude.
However, when I turned the lights off to go to sleep, I felt the side of the bed drop down as if someone was sitting on the edge. I also smelt dust, as if a miner just returned from work and this huge dust cloud stretched over the bed. It did not take me long to turn the light on…and I spent the rest of the night with the lights on and waking up every few minutes.
Later the next day I asked one of the staff if the places was haunted, particularly my room. To my shock and horror it was, and some people had experienced the same thing in my room. To this day I am unsure if this staff member was having a quick jab of fun…but I was pretty happy to leave the venue.
Outside of the Railway Restoration Centre are some amazing everlasting flowers. Unfortunately, everlastings don't really last that long, so the best time to see this place would probably be around August to October.
I guess, if you are interested in being a little spooked or want to shoot a scary film, then this would be the perfect setting. As for myself, even though I like adventure, I am not entirely sure I would want to go back. Well…maybe just once – for curiosity sake! 😉

William J. McCarter, 81, the broadcasting pioneer who led WTTW in Chicago for 27 years and built it to become the most-watched public television station in the country, died Thursday, April 21, according to family.
Mr. McCarter came to WTTW in 1972 after being recruited by former FCC Chairman and WTTW Chairman and Trustee Newton Minow.
Setting his goal at boosting viewership, Mr. McCarter promptly expanded the broadcast schedule to seven days a week, introducing a wide range of general interest programming. Under Mr. McCarter, WTTW emerged as a major production center producing a large number of nationally broadcast series and specials.
His creativity and innovation was exemplified by the diverse range of programs he developed, which included Chicago Tonight, Chicago Tonight: The Week in Review, Sneak Previews, The McLaughlin Group, Image Union, The Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching, Wild Chicago, Soundstage, and Illinois Lawmakers.
Under his watch, WTTW and WFMT received 12 George Foster Peabody Awards, 5 DuPont Columbia Journalism Awards, 150 regional Emmy Awards and 5 CINE Golden Eagle Awards.

Girly one, this. So boys you can go and do something manly for a minute. What is it with us girls and our hair? Why do we always want the hair we can't have? Every curly girly I know wants dead straight hair, and us straight haired girls probably own every curling device known to man. I recently met a natural blonde who dies her hair black (I thought it was natural). It's a dilemma.
I've always been mousy: not really blonde, but not really brown, and since my teens I've been doing some form of lightening on it. From that awful Sun In stuff that you sprayed on and it made your hair go a kind of egg yolk yellow colour, to the infamous teenage blonde fringe that my Dad called my 'blob of custard'. But I have really fine hair – lots of it, but fine – and being blonde makes my hair really damaged and dry. As they're pulling the foils out, I can practically feel it snapping off.
Last year, I decided to give my hair a break from the bleach and slowly went darker and darker until I was back to my natural colour. Weirdly, as the blonde faded, I kind of felt like I did too. I would catch sight of myself in the mirror and think 'meh', and whatever my outfit, I somehow felt frumpy and boring. It's ridiculous I know, but somehow, my mood and my self esteem is inextricably linked to the colour of my hair. When I'm blonde, I feel bright, happy, perky and attractive, and when I'm dark, well, I'm dark.
Yesterday, then, I went back to my favourite hairdresser, Sean. I'd been avoiding him as he does blonde SO WELL. Again, yes, ridiculous, but every time I said to him that I felt I should go darker he'd go 'now you know you hate that', and talk me out of it. Now, though, after a year of mousiness, I've decided that Sean is right and I should always be blonde. Here I am before (excuse The Claw, it appears in every photo). Mousy and meh:
And after a few scattered highlights, and a quick trim, I was back to blonde. And it feels AMAZING! I'll be treating it really well – buying decent conditioner, not scrubbing it with a towel, and having regular trims, and that's how it's going to stay. There is no room for mouse in this house.

In reply to:
William H. Abel mar. Indiana Nov 1870
My grandmother was Emma J. Able (Abel) from Orange County, Indiana.She married William Marion Runyon.Her parents were John and Barbara Able.I have not found who John's parents were, but Barbara was an Able before marriage and I believe her parents to be William Able and Melley Link.There are so many Able/Abel/Abels in Orange County it makes it difficult.I don't know if they are all related or not!

A long-standing holiday tradition of special caring and giving is again providing Christmas happiness to Surface Creek Valley children and their families.
But in many instances, explains Peggy Bathie of Cedaredge, who is helping coordinate the Angel Tree project this year, the community's caring is being asked to go beyond providing delights for wide-eyed kids on Christmas morning with a present to unwrap.
"Local families are asking for basic survival items on their Christmas lists to Angel Tree this year," Bathie said. "You see the need is so great when parents are asking for bottles and diapers for their kids."
Along with her daughter, Heather McGovern, Bathie has been working with the Angel Tree project to adopt entire families for the Christmas season. For groups wanting to adopt entire families for the season, Peggy's phone number is 856-3306, and McGovern's is 970-778-0366.
The Angel Tree was at Cedaredge FoodTown, with opportunities for caring shoppers to play Santa for a youngster this year. Requests for gifts this year as found on the tree last week included: "Anything John Deere;" "Transformers, dinosaurs, games, puzzles;" "Toy cars, toy guns;" "Makeup, perfume and lotion;" "CDs and books;" "coat and gloves;" "Snow boots and jacket;" "Legos, Ninja Turtles."
Local Santas need to have Angel Tree gifts at the offices of Blair and Associates, 105 SE Frontier, Ste. 105, by this Friday, Dec. 11.
Bathie's tree-themed enthusiasm for community holiday spirit has gone beyond the Angel Tree project. Bathie organized an unofficial community Christmas tree lighting last Thursday that was attended by about 20 people. Bathie even supplied cookies for her guests.
"This is a beautiful community. So why don't we have a community Christmas tree?' she asked.
She answered her own question by organizing the carolling and cookies tree-lighting event at a 60-foot-tall conifer located at the corner of SE Buffalo and South Grand Mesa Drive, across from the AppleShed.
"Next year it will be one of the trees in Town Park, and we will light it following the Parade of Lights," Bathie said.
Last Christmas, the Chamber of Commerce had hoped to stage a community tree lighting using one of the big spruce trees in front of the Masonic Lodge building. Some technical difficulties ran afoul of those plans.

BDS from Tripoli University – Dental collage – Libya.
Master degree of prosthodontics MDSc – Dundee University – UK.
Project title: Evaluation and development of dental materials and prosthodontics teaching at Dundee Dental School
Research subject area: Dental materials and prosthodontics
Supervisors: Dr Andrew Hall, Professor Graham Chadwick & Professor David Ricketts
Dental materials has involved a significant amount of basic science teaching for which undergraduate dental students have often struggled to understand the relevance. This has resulted in dis-engagement from learning, rote-learning to pass examinations and a lack of deeper understanding of the subject and its clinical relevance to dental practise. Nowhere is the link between dental materials teaching and clinical dentistry stronger than in the clinical discipline of fixed prosthodontics. Recent publication of a new set General Dental Council (GDC) learning outcomes provides and ideal opportunity to align teaching to national requirements. Finally, students satisfaction surveys form an important part of course evaluation and Dundee Dental School has, in the past, found difficulty achieving this, particularly for the study of dental materials.
Evaluation of current teaching can be done by survey work involving student cohorts as well as comparative work with other institutions in the UK, Europe and beyond. Development of novel teaching methods based on sound educational practise theories and using new media can be pursued and subsequently evaluated. Development of formative course assessments to aid learning is another area that should be explored possibly in the form of development and maintenance of an evidence base with subsequent guardian status of following cohorts of students. Finally, course improvements should map to objective improvement in clinical skills within either the laboratory environment or the clinics that students attend. Objective methods of evaluation of clinical work to test these theories could also have impact of ways in which student work is evaluated subsequently.
