Brandy honey banana, chilli and lime strudel
1 banana chopped
juice of a lime
1/4 dried red chilli, crumbled
1/4 cup brandy
2-3 tbsp honey
Slice the banana and squeeze a quater of lime juice over it. Mix the honey, brandy, red chilli and rest of lime juice, and simmer in a saucepan till it reduces to a syrup. Add banana slices and simmer in the syrup for a few minutes, till banana softens, but still keeps it's shape. Once cooled the banana mix is ready to fill the strudel dough. A handful of chopped walnuts can also be added for crunch. I regret not adding a pinch of cinnamon to the banana mix, as I think it would have made it a nicer, warmer spiced dish.
Poached pear in pimms and tamarillo syrup strudel
1.5 pears peeled and chopped
1/2-1 cup pimms liquer
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c water
1 tsp vanilla extract
pulp of 2 tamarillo's
Cut pears into chunks. Put pimms, water and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to simmer. Add pear and simmer till just starting to turn tender (as it will cook more in the strudel). Remove the pear, and boil the pimms till it is a thicker syrup. Towards the end add tamarillo flesh, and mash it through the syrup. Add vanilla. Poor syrup back over pear, and this is ready to fill the rolled strudel dough.
The May Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers.
Strudel dough
from "Kaffeehaus – Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague" by Rick Rodgers
1 1/3 C plain flour
1/8 tsp salt
7 Tbsp water (I used the whey from making ricotta)
2 Tbsp vegie oil
1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1. Combine the flour and salt in a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix the water, oil and vinegar in a measuring cup. Add the water/oil mixture to the flour with the mixer on low speed. You will get a soft dough. Make sure it is not too dry, add a little more water if necessary.
Take the dough out of the mixer. Change to the dough hook. Put the dough ball back in the mixer. Let the dough knead on medium until you get a soft dough ball with a somewhat rough surface.
2. Take the dough out of the mixer and continue kneading by hand on an unfloured work surface. Knead for about 2 minutes. Pick up the dough and throw it down hard onto your working surface occasionally.
Shape the dough into a ball and transfer it to a plate. Oil the top of the dough ball lightly. Cover the ball tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to stand for 30-90 minutes (longer is better).
3. It would be best if you have a work area that you can walk around on all sides like a 36 inch (90 cm) round table or a work surface of 23 x 38 inches (60 x 100 cm). Cover your working area with table cloth, dust it with flour and rub it into the fabric. Put your dough ball in the middle and roll it out as much as you can.
Pick the dough up by holding it by an edge. This way the weight of the dough and gravity can help stretching it as it hangs. Using the back of your hands to gently stretch and pull the dough. You can use your forearms to support it.
4. The dough will become too large to hold. Put it on your work surface. Leave the thicker edge of the dough to hang over the edge of the table. Place your hands underneath the dough and stretch and pull the dough thinner using the backs of your hands. Stretch and pull the dough until it's about 2 feet (60 cm) wide and 3 feet (90 cm) long, it will be tissue-thin by this time. Cut away the thick dough around the edges with scissors. The dough is now ready to be filled.
The strudels were lovely to eat, I even had plenty left over to freeze, which has been a yummy treat getting home from a long day at work, now our nights are feeling more wintery. I prefered the pear to the banana. I love the caramely banana flavour, but there's something nice about the way the pear held it's shape baking. The nuts in the banana strudel however, were a nice addition that made up for the lack of bite in the pieces of fruit. I was really happy with how both the strudels layered and had flakiness with air between the layers of pastry, I think I must have been able to roll it thin enough, even though I used an improvised, floured cloth, that was a bit slippy and slidy. I just wish I had more people at home to share the strudel with. If you try it out, I hope you enjoy yours 🙂

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words #3

I see many a fashion faux pas in my daily travels, but this one made me take out the camera phone: A kitty tapestry purse.

Maybe she didnt know. Its could be a very honest mistake!
I suppose we should content ourselves that the purse didn't have "Hang in there!" embroidered on it.
At the very least she should have had kitty shoes. How gauche.
That purse would be awesome if it had a caption like the ones on this website:
Oh my gosh! It reminds me of the Kat!!!! She would definitely have wanted one of these…

Note to self... Do not put anything on your blog, even as a comparison, that you might end up needing. This is why, in the future, you will never see this, this, or this here at the eyes of my eyes.
"This may seem weird but I couldn't help but think that having the sweet love of my life singing and whispering in my ear while I passed away would hands down be one of my biggest "dreams come true". People spend their whole lives chasing after that kind of intimacy and Chris had it."
He is waiting for her. The door is open. She climbs in. They sit together coffee in hand, and watch their grandchildren's story unfold. They aren't worried that it is taking too long. They have faith that it will happen. They know that someday their son, his wife, and their Ethiopian children will use those cookie cutters. They are omniscient and beautiful. They suffer no pain. They are together at last. It is a heavenly day.
That would be nice wouldn't it?

"Exorbitant interest rates on new university loans mean that average middle-class students will owe £6,000 more on the day they graduate than they originally borrowed to fund their three-year course.
From the moment they receive the first tranche of their loan, they will begin racking up interest at a crippling rate which is 3 percentage points above inflation and higher than at most high street banks.
A Daily Mail investigation found that typical students will have to borrow £43,500 to fund their higher education over a three-year course – £9,000 a year for tuition and £5,500 a year for living costs."

This is a list of all major characters that appear in the series. This may or may not include characters coming from roleplays that are not yet released. Characters may also be named after another character, this will be noted with (G1), (G2), (G3), etc...The older character is (G1) and the younger character is (G2). With the addition of DSZC4, characters that reach max level then evolve into stronger versions(This only applies to new characters in the actual games/roleplays). Keep in mind, that these characters often live for extreme amounts of time.
Zero(G1): A powerful knight who led the team of warriors in DSZC1. Zero was a 5' 9" Human, with an average build. He often wore loose-fitting Dragon Wilds styled clothing. He had piercing blue eyes. He wielded a god-like 2H sword, but he died of old age at 641.
Zero(G2): He was a great hybrid warrior in the adventures of DSZC2. Zero was a 6' 1" Human, with a stocky build. He wore Ancient Cloth robes with some Mithral plate armor. He had dull gray eyes. He wielded two powerful blades, but ended up dying in action at the age of 72.
Dracon: A knight who used the power of the dragon gods to bring pain upon his enemies in DSZC3. Dracon is a 7' 3" Dracokin with a small build. He wears light Rainbow plate armor and wields a Rainbow bident. He has neon yellow eyes. He still lives, well over the age of 1,000.
Reuage(G1): The character from the Betrayal at Zakianshin. Reuage is a 5' 10" Human-Elf mix, with an average build. His common name is the Whirlwind Swordsman. He has leaf green eyes. He disappeared after the battle, never to be seen again. He used the blue 2H sword known as "Zephyr" and controlled the power of the wind. Reuage is still alive, being over 400 years old.
Sapphire(G1): Another warrior from the Betrayal at Zakianshin. Sapphire is a 6' 3" Human-Dracokin mix, with an average build. Her common name is the Dragon Knight. She has eyes that slowly shift colors. She was kidnapped and sealed away to stop her from killing the demon army's leader. She used the red spear known as "Fenrir" to leech her enemy's health and power. This allows her to become infinitely powerful, however long it takes. She is currently over 400 years old.
Ragnar(G1): A crazy drunk berserker from the Betrayal at Zakianshin. Ragnar was a 6' 4" Human-Spiritkin mix, with a large, muscular build. His common name is the Flaming Wraith. He had cool blue eyes that shift to fiery red when he's angered. He was killed in action, and his red sword was passed down to his younger brother, Genesis. The sword's name was the Sword of Odin. He died at the age of 58.
Genesis(G1): A pacifist from the Betrayal at Zakianshin. Genesis was a 5' 7" Spiritkin, with a small build. His common name is Silent Apocalypse. He had iceberg cyan eyes. After his brother died, Genesis was so filled with rage, even Tok-Dramae felt a major disturbance in his realm. He single-handedly wiped out the entire demon army with his rage. After this, he was so angry with himself, that he challenged Yzaar-Ratoris to a duel, which he purposely lost. He used to wield the Shield of Odin as his weapon. He died at the age of 56.
Reuage(G2): A 20 year old warrior who excels in his leadership skills. Reuage is a 5' 8" Human, with an average build. He has leaf green eyes. He leads Sapphire, Ragnar, and Genesis into many different adventures. He's very strong willed, and almost no wound will stop him.
Sapphire(G2): A cocky female warrior, who always ends up getting kidnapped. She is a 5' 1" Human, with a small build. She has eyes that seem to slowly shift colors. In DSZC4, she is the only ally character early on. She doesn't excel in much, except for magic. She is also fragile, and a heavy wound would stop her in her tracks.
Ragnar(G2): A chaotic berserker, and Genesis' older brother. He is a 6' 1" Human, with a muscular build. He has eyes that change color with his mood. He may not have much health or defense, but he makes up for that in sheer strength. The single best and worst thing about him, is he doesn't feel pain until he's nearly dead.
Genesis(G2): A calm, cool, and collected semi-pacifist warrior. He is a 5' 6" Human-Spiritkin, with a small build. He has cyan eyes. He uses a shield to attack, and defend his allies. He excells in healing magic and supportive magic. If Ragnar falls while Genesis is still alive, Genesis gains a boost to every skill, effectively making him as strong as both of them combined.
Zero(G3): A local farmer, whose kids, wife and animals were killed by trolls. He is a 5' 7" Human, with a stocky build. He has leaf green eyes. He is a berserker, who uses spiked gauntlets as his weapons. Not much else is known about him.
Grand Magus Laren: Her common name is The Water Waker. She is a 5' 3" Spiritkin, with a small build. She has gold eyes. An ancient mage who has the ability to project her sight both around her and into time. Along with The Knight Valor and Shkilor Ikhram, she has survived through most of the realm's events. She has such power, that her minions' minion's minions can summon minions. She is a master in nearly all magic types, although she isn't an ascendant. Her age is unknown.
Shkilor Ikhram: It's name is The Sky Waker. It is a 8' 3" Nightkin-Spiritkin mix, with a slender build. It has ebony eyes. An ancient archer who has the fastest known reaction time of all mortal creatures. It can see behind itself with his supersonic movements, and can attack just as fast. It uses two built in Crystallized Bone Crossbows on his wrists, and two Crystallized Bone Crossbows which it holds. It also uses throwing daggers, axes, darts and uses a variety of magic. It is thought to be older than the realm, itself.
Subzero: What happens when Zero becomes overpowered? He becomes Subzero! Subzero has the same abilities as Zero, only amplified. He also comes with level 9 Ice magic, and can learn Nova Magic!
Whirlwind Swordsman: Our friend Reuage has evolved himself into a powerful reincarnation of the real Whirlwind Swordsman from the Betrayal at Zakianshin. In this form he can master Astral, Nova, Sky and Dragon spells.
Dragon Knight: If Sapphire was to be infused with pure Dragon magic, this is what she becomes. She turns into an Elemental Dragonkin, who can master every spell to the fullest extent. She can also then copy and use two of her own weapon. The copy weapon is a fake, but has the same stats. This means it cannot be sold or traded to anyone, or it will dissipate into nothing.
Flaming Wraith: If Ragnar were to become more overpowered, he would become a powerful berserker who cannot feel pain. His blood is so hot, that if a sword were to almost impale him, it would simply melt. He can also create armor out of rock, and a sword of fire. He now has the ability to bend light around his body to make himself invisible.
Silent Apocalypse: Genesis has become something else. Something other than Spiritkin. He can wear armor stronger than nearly any other mortal can wear. He still only uses a shield, but now has the ability to summon weapons. His weapons of choice: A scythe, a 2H sword and daggers. He can also grow a pair of angel wings.
Bayne: A character whose motives remain unknown. He is a 5' 11" Nightkin, with an average build. He is, however, known to be evil. He grows nearly as strong as Silent Apocalypse, with the ability to grow a pair of demon wings. He uses a scythe as his main weapon, and uses the skin of many Spiritkin as his armor. He can cast Reaper magic. He is a force to be feared, and should be avoided whenever possible. Since he's a powerful Nightkin, he holds the favor of Nyxa; allowing him to possess a small dimension, and summon minions whenever he pleases.
Oura: From DSZC: Dragonslayers, he leads the Dragon Shadow Guild. He is a 5' 10" Human-Spiritkin, with an average build. He has silver eyes. He masterfully uses his Sky Magic along with the ability to summon a weapon called the Cyclone Axe. He is a force to be reckoned with with the ability to slice straight through even the thickest armor. He is equal in power to only one of his Guild members, Dragon Reaper. The two often duke it out, and in the end it's always a tie.
Dragon Reaper: It is unknown if Dragon Reaper is male or female, so we'll presume it's male. He is presumed to be a Dracokin-Spiritkin mix at 3' 3". He has a child-like build. When seen without a mask, he has electric blue eyes that pulse with Mana. Dragon Reaper is a silent and powerful warrior from the Dragon Shadow Guild. He wears a black cloak, and sports many masks that he uses for power. He uses Portal Magic and a few other minor tricks in battle. His abilities change with his emotions. For instance, when he's angry, his regular straight faced mask breaks off revealing a Demon mask. When this happens he uses the stick he carries with him, and transforms it into a Scythe strong enough to cut through Zephyrium Armor. Oura and Dragon Reaper have some sort of special bond, and are often seen together. Since Dragon Reaper doesn't talk, or rather make any noise whatsoever, people look at Oura funny thinking he's talking to himself. Apparently, Oura and Omnari can hear him.
Sir Hendrick III: A lazy, stuck up Fire Hybrid, who uses a Crossbow, a Dagger and a Quarter-Staff. He is a 5' 10" Human, with an average build. He has light red eyes. He rarely lifts a finger in combat, and if he does, it doesn't do much. He's also extremely inexperienced, and often finds himself with horrible injuries. There have been a few times he hasn't been next to useless. He actually managed to cast an Inferno spell and single handedly slay a Dragon. That's only when he's serious. He's often found messing around with Rayzr. His favourite part of the day is lunch, which he often spends with Rayzr, Lotus and Rave.
Rayzr: A rather idiotic Earth Mage, who finds eating and sleeping his biggest habits. He is a 5' 7" Human, with a stocky build. He has dark gray eyes. He's constantly competing with Oura, trying to become stronger, but always falls short. In large battles, he's of great use with his ability to combine his power with Hendrick to form Lava Magic. Once this is done, Oura comes in and launches it at the enemy. When the fighting gets serious he gets quite powerful, but otherwise is just an average Earth Mage.
Lotus: A serious and quiet Earth Mage, who joined the Guild later down the line. He is a 6' Human, with an average build. He has deep green eyes. He arrived with both Omnari and Rave, and was determined to become the strongest Earth Mage in the Guild, until Rayzr showed his face. He and Rave are practically brothers, because of how to treat each other, and the fact they're rarely apart.
Rave: An extremely annoying Sound Warrior, who's eventually going to get smacked for one reason or the other. He is a 5' 10" Human, with a muscular build. He is blind. Paired up with Lotus, they're a deadly duo, and can dish out some heavy paralyzing attacks. He doesn't know when to quit, whether it's in combat or in a conversation. Either way, the guy has earned his stripes by beating a Green Dragon by himself.
Omnari: A secretive and silent Omni Mage. She is a 5' 6" Spiritkin, with a small build. She has rainbow colored eyes. She uses all kinds of Magic, even though she cannot master them, at this time. She is often with Dragon Reaper and Oura, talking about something. When she's not asleep or with those two, she's in the library researching nearly anything she deems worthy. Even if she's one of the three strongest in the Guild, she stands no chance against Dragon Reaper or Oura. She's proven her power many times to the two at the top by beating a Blood Dragon, four Psychic Dragons and a Fire Dragon within a week.
Saul: Saul is one of the main characters in a story that takes place far from Zeterra. Saul was originally a regular Spiritkin child living on Wintergreen, the same as Dramae and the others. However, when Wintergreen was attacked, his village was destroyed by a conjured army of the deceased. His family was killed, but he was saved by a God of Chaos, named Sauul. Sauul combined his body with Saul's in order to help him traverse the Void, and eventually landed in the unnamed realm where he currently lives. Saul began his new life as a Shadow mage, and through it, he unlocked situational immortality. By removing his own shadow, he technically forced himself to stop existing, while still existing. He, with his many years ahead, mastered most other common magics, and developed his own specialty magic: Guardian's Edict. He, like Dramae, bound himself to his realm, allowing him to share even more power. He takes little care in the happenings of mortals, although he will sometimes act as a mortal, himself, out of boredom. He's blind in his right eye, and his other eye is cyan.
Sauul: Sauul is a Chaos God, whose strength hasn't been measured accurately, although he is definitely stronger than Saul. He does little in the way of acting, instead, he enjoys watching over all else. Sauul once shared a body with Saul. Once every hundred years, give or take, Sauul would take command over his body, before returning control to Saul after another century. Saul grew tired of this give and take, and used the ultimate division magic, the Great Divide, to split their existence apart, once again. Sauul is often depicted or seen as a mostly or fully unclothed, gender-neutral, emaciated humanoid. He regularly defies the laws of physics, pushing the boundaries of possibility. His strange nature makes him highly popular with many mortals in the realm he inhabits.
Captain Nal: Nal is one of Saul's creations, in an attempt to police the realm. Nal, along with his soldiers, are very large stone golems, usually shaped like ordinary statues. Nal, however, towers over the others, at 17 feet tall, whereas most of his soldiers are between 10-13 feet tall. Nal wields a grandsword-class sword, made of stone, with many enchantments bolstering its power. Nal, just like his soldiers, are all their own beings, with personalities, goals, ambitions and emotions.
Thammartus: Thammartus is Saul's Warfare Officer, being of the same rank, albeit different division, as Nal. Thammartus is a shadow from Stahlmite, the lost Uares homeworld. Thammartus is incredibly skilled with combat. He wields a warhammer made of an unknown material. He has absolute control over his hammer, able to control its speed, weight and size, which he often uses with a single hand. Being a shadow, he's entirely immune to any physical damage, and most magic attacks will pass through him, as well. He's incredibly loyal, yet also a bit of a rebel, in that he likes to have fun and converse with mortals instead of fighting. He has a younger brother, named Vakubos.
Vakubos: Vakubos is Thammartus' younger brother, and Saul's Officer of Mortal Affairs, also being of same rank as both Thammartus and Nal. Vakubos is a child-like shadow, who champions fun over all else. He spends a lot of time playing with mortals, and getting them to meet Saul. Vakubos speaks in third-person, and often refers to things either by what they look like, or what they do. To him, Saul is "Man Where Shadows Came From", his brother is "Person I Really Like", and Nal is "Big Stone Guy." Vakubos is also a shadow, like his brother, also coming from Stahlmite. Vakubos has almost no combat skills, often hurting himself instead of the enemy. However, he's also immune to physical attacks, and is quite competent with dodging.

I didn't really know who this guy was till I moved 'home' (the office) and started keeping msnbc on in the background during the day. He came over from the MONEY channel side to the news side. He's a real earnest guy, no bullshit, but very personable, but takes no prisoners when someone gets it wrong. And then explains (or rips) whatever story with facts and figures replete with graphs and charts and other visual aids. Great 'explainer' to the common man about complex subjects
At the risk of pooh poohing Trump's $12BIL paltry sum, that was before 3 hurricanes. (Sucked that up x 4 with the emergency aid package put through Congress this week).

MSNBC's Ali Velshi corrects Trump's fake math on the deficit: 'Dude, nuh-uh. That's not how it works'
MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi (Screen capture)
MSNBC's Ali Velshi took President Donald Trump to the woodshed for comments the president made in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity.
Trump claimed that gains in the stock market during his first nine months in office have erased the federal deficit left behind by the Obama administration.
"Dude," said Velshi. "Nuh-uh. That's not how it works."
"That is an erroneous claim by the president of the United States," he continued. "For fact's sake, increases in the stock market have absolutely no connection to the debt."
Velshi — a veteran financial and consumer affairs reporter — explained that the only way to reduce debt is to raise taxes, to have strong economic growth or to reduce spending.
"That's it," he said. "Those are the only ways. It's got nothing to do with the stock market."
The president's boasts to Hannity, Velshi said, were "just dishonest."...

To the Editor:
In the June 5 paper, there was a photo of three young girls getting ready to roller blade. What a fun and exhilarating way for these youngsters to spend the day! There was, however, one major item missing by each of these girls -- their helmets. As parents, it is our responsibility to have our children prepared with the proper equipment as well as the knowledge in how to use them. With summer upon us and the children home most of the day, there will be no doubt many hours spent riding bikes and skating. In our house, the rule is "No helmet -- No wheels!"

New Delhi: Indian security forces can defend the country's territories bravely, said Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday, August 21.
"Our security forces have all the power to protect Indian borders," said Singh at an event organised by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP). "Thought they'll be cold and tired but the spirit I saw in them (security forces)! No one would dare raise eyes towards India. We have such brave soldiers."
"I went to Ladakh once and had never experienced such harsh cold in life. I was told (ITBP) Jawans would meet me in morning," recalled Singh, further adding the the government will make sure that "their promotions aren't delayed."
Speaking on the ongoing standoff between India and China at Doklam, the minister said, "There will be a solution soon and I am sure China will make a positive move."
"India has never attacked any country, nor does it have an ambition to expand its borders. Security forces are equipped to handle any situation (at the border)," he further added.
The home minister said he wanted to convey a message to all neighbouring countries that India wanted peace.
The ITBP guards the 4,057 km long Sino-Indian border from Jammu and Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh.
India and China have been locked in a face-off in the Doklam area of the Sikkim sector after Indian troops stopped the Chinese Army from building a road in the area over the last two months.

My work week was extremely uneventful. I spent most of it online shopping and getting super excited for Friday night. Jenn's birthday fell on a Friday this year {June 26th}, and I was more than excited to go out and get reckless like the good old days! It's been a really long time since we have all partied together, so we decided to make it a girl's only celebration. This weekend was Gay Pride in Toronto- a guaranteed good time no matter what our final destination of choice was.
One of our good friends from college, Lisa, has a connection at Muzik, and got us bottle service at Muzik Beach Club {the outdoor section of Muzik} for a really good price. Toronto clubs can get to be crazy expensive, so we obviously all agreed to go there Friday night. Muzik is a very high scale club, located across the street from Lake Ontario, and celebrities are always partying there. They have a pretty strict dress code, but they're always more lenient with a group of gorgeous ladies!
I decided to wear a black and white high waisted body-con mini skirt that perfectly emphasized my curves. I paired the skirt with a black lace crop top, and my new Lanvin strappy pumps. I have naturally curly hair that was not co-operating with me, and eventually ended up blowing it out and adding some beach waves with my curling iron. When I was all ready, I snapped a picture of myself and sent it to Matt for his approval, but mostly to make him jealous.
The twelve of us met at Jenn's house, and took 2 Uber SUVs to the club. We arrived at Muzik just after 11pm, and the hostess walked us over to our booth where we were greeted with 2 bottles of Grey Goose and 1 bottle of Hennesy. I immediately insisted that the hostess bring us over a bottle of Dom Perignon, we are classy ladies after all. The club was gorgeous. I had only ever been inside, but the beach club was just as beautiful. They had canopies set up around the perimeter with white draping and candles lit to create a more intimate vibe. There was a pool in the center, and the DJ was blasting the latest Techno/EDM hits {which is Jenn's favorite!}.
Jenn was having so much fun! We made sure to direct all of the male attention her way- it was her birthday after all. I'm pretty sure I saw her exchange phone numbers with a few good looking men, which is exactly what she needed. Jenn was thanking us repeatedly for the night out, and kept sitting on my lap and kissing my cheeks. She was way passed drunk, and normally we would cut her off, but the night was almost over.
Before we left, we made a quick washroom stop before the long ride home. Sophia, me and Caroline {a girl that works with Jenn}, were on our way back from the ladies room, when I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and I was face to face with the most beautiful blonde woman I have ever seen in my life. She had a good few inches on my 5' 7" frame, piercing blue eyes and natural curves in all the right places. With legs like hers, I would have sworn she was a supermodel.
"Are you Victoria?" She asked innocently. She had a sexy raspy voice, and in that moment I decided there wasn't one thing about this woman that I didn't wish for.
"Yes. I'm sorry, do I know you?" I responded curiously.
"My name is Carmen. I'm actually surprised you don't know me, because I know all about you." She said with a touch of bitterness in her voice.
"Okay, so are you going to tell me how you know me?" I asked, getting frustrated with her growing attitude.
"Matt is my ex." She spat. " I'm not surprised that he hasn't mentioned me. But, I really don't get why he left all of this," She waved her hand up and down her body, "For all of that." She said as she looked at me from head to toe.
I was speechless. It takes a lot to shut me up, but Carmen had me completely dumbfounded. How did she find me? How did she know who I was? Why is she ruining my night? Sophia and Caroline eventually realized I wasn't walking with them and came back to find me.
"Tor, what's wrong? You look like you saw a ghost." Sophia asked, looking between Carmen and me.
"I'll let you girls get back to your night. It was nice meeting you Victoria, I hope we run into each other again!" Carmen said as she turned on her heel and walked off.
I quickly filled them in on my awkward encounter with Carmen, and immediately saw looks of sympathy in their eyes, which is the absolute worst. I have always been extremely insecure with my size, and Sophia has always been the one to pick up my pieces. She assured Caroline that we were fine, and told her to go back and join the other girls.
"Please don't do what you always do, Tori. I can see your brain working over time. Just let it go for tonight, and talk to Matt about it in the morning, when you don't have any alcohol in your system."
I nodded, acknowledging what she was saying, but I could feel the tears building up. Sophia, always being in tuned with my emotions, noticed and pulled me back in to the ladies room. "Victoria, don't you dare cry because of some supreme bitch. I've seen the way Matt treats you, and the way he looks at you, and the way his eyes light up when someone says your name. He want YOU Tori, and don't you dare let anyone else try and make you feel any different."
"I know baby girl. It's going to be okay. I promise." She said while pulling me into a hug and rubbing my back.
As if on cue, my phone vibrated with a text message from Matthew.
"I hope you're having an amazing night, babe. I'm going to sleep but we'll talk in the morning. I can't wait to hear all about the trouble you ladies get yourselves into! Goodnight princess."
I didn't have the energy to respond, so I turned my phone off and made my way back to the rest of the girls.

Sudden Shower
Black grows the southern sky, betokening rain,
And humming hive-bees homeward hurry bye:
They feel the change; so let us shun the grain,
And take the broad road while our feet are dry.
Ay, there some dropples moistened on my face,
And pattered on my hat--tis coming nigh!
Let's look about, and find a sheltering place.
The little things around, like you and I,
Are hurrying through the grass to shun the shower.
Here stoops an ash-tree--hark! the wind gets high,
But never mind; this ivy, for an hour,
Rain as it may, will keep us dryly here:
That little wren knows well his sheltering bower,
Nor leaves his dry house though we come so near.

An apt poem for a day under a capricious sky; the trees in leaf have been kindly shelters.
'Dropples' is lovely! It conveys not just what they are but also something of the feeling they have on one's face.

This little guy has been keeping me company while getting over the flu. If only he could also keep me in a constant supply of smoothies and bad movies, I'd be set. More to come when I'm back from the dead. Is it just me, or is this the week that everyone's been hit with the flu?

I got the one up, one down from at least 20 women with the worst plastic surgery jobs I've ever seen! If we ever want a Housewives of Bellevue, we need a better plastic surgeon! I was scared. Seriously... I was about to go hide behind the fur vests and throw one at the aliens so they wouldn't attack me with their Christian Louboutins and fangs!
It's pretty sad when the sales staff at Neiman Marcus looks better than everyone else. I don't know where they came from, or how they were recruited, but they all looked very well put together. One of them was wearing these adorable red Valentino heels (below). My question is how a sales employee can afford $900 Valentino shoes when she hasn't had a day of work yet. Doesn't add up, right?
Beautiful open back with exposed zipper.
According to the Bellevue Network, there were a lot of sales opening weekend, but let's just be honest and readily admit that stores have return policies, and the bubbly allure of having Magic Johnson in the same room as you when you bought that dress is going to die down once your mortgage payment comes around. Washington isn't the place for luxury retailers. We never have been. I don't care how many wood planks and textured walls were installed inside the Bellevue Neiman Marcus. That doesn't make it Northwest.
Perhaps I'm partial, but Nordstrom is a Seattle native, and Neiman Marcus doesn't quite fit in. If nobody has been buying Gucci from the Bellevue Nordstrom boutique, why would they buy it at Neiman Marcus?

The first is finished with gunmetal ebony veneer to match the black spiral staircase next to it and contrast the white knotty pine floors. The second has a Teragren honey veneer to match the strand woven floors both upstairs and on the staircase. The clean straight lines of the bamboo and of the decorative inlays give both the doors and their surroundings a distinct modern feel with the elegance of a custom-designed interior.

'Garbage gardening': How to turn kitchen scraps into plants
"Garbage gardening" is an easy and inexpensive way to grow flowers and edibles using kitchen scraps – the pits, seeds and roots that otherwise would be headed to a landfill. It's a fun way to recycle. Educational for the kids, too.
"Almost every unprocessed fruit or vegetable can be grown into a decorative houseplant," said Deborah Peterson, co-author of Don't Throw It, Grow It (Storey Publishing, 2008).
"Some are perennials, others are annuals or biennials," Peterson said.
"You will be amazed as you discover how these beautiful plants can develop."
Chickpeas, for instance, can be coaxed to flower in hanging baskets, and beets can be transformed into showy dish gardens with their colorful purple and green foliage surrounding contrasting blooms.
Start new plants on the windowsill by using the byproducts from roots, nuts, tubers, beans, bulbs, seeds or cuttings. The "garbage," if you will.
Water, pebbles, soil or peat can be used as a growing medium.
"Every plant you grow should go outside for five months or so, depending upon where you live," said Peterson, from Scituate, Massachusetts. "Winter becomes a holding pattern (for perennials), just keeping them alive. But once they're out again, in summer, they're wonderful."
Marianne Ophardt, Washington State University Extension's Benton County director, added, "Garbage gardening is done more to teach children about plants than it is to create new gardens."
"Most of your kitchen scraps will be thrown away, but some can be used to provide a unique learning opportunity," she said.
Children often want instant gratification, so keep things simple. Choose quick-sprouting plants like potatoes, beans, carrots, melons and radishes. "Pineapples wouldn't be a good idea," Peterson said; it takes pineapples two or more years to fully mature and produce flower stalks.

So, this is the first topic related to D&D.
I wanted to share with you some of the most funny characters that I DMed or played along with.
Strangely, most of them come from one person alone, I wonder why...
So first we have:
Paxaxan, the Barbarian!
Paxaxan is an halfling barbarian that uses a spear as his weapon. He normaly abandons the fight to take some sips of ale. The name, Paxaxan, comes from the word Paxaxa, wich is another word to say Cona, wich means pussy. So, instead of being Conan, he was Paxaxan.
Also from the user of Paxaxan, we have Boi Jorge, the Minotaur Bard!
Boi (meaning bull) is a huge minotaur that usualy hangs back in battle, playing his lute and telling the others what to do, although he once impaled a skeleton in his horns and walked around with the skeleton hanging from his head.
The last one from this awesome rolepayer is Rã Kyao, the Bullywug Invoker of Mephistoteles.
Rã Kyao (parody to the musician Rao Kyao, using the word rã, meaning frog) usualy walks around on the back of the strongest member of the party. If he sees that the battle is being to simple, he ignores his foes and turns his atention to another place. On the other hand, if the battle is being to hard, he would simply turn his back on his fellow adventurers and run like only a toad can.
The last character I wanna talk about was a Human Fighter, one of the crown jewels of that beautifull 2nd Edition. He had 18 STR, 17 DEX, 16 CON, but had 6 INT. This was one of the best roleplayed characters I ever saw. I played alongside this guy and it was a blast. Once, while in front of a door, a simple wooden door, the thief started to search for traps, the mage was casting detect magic, the cleric and the other fighter (me) were ready to spring at anything that could come out of the door and the dumb fighter walks up to the door, knocks, listens for a while and says "Nobody's home. Let's go." and heads away from the door. Beautifully reoleplayed charatecer!
If you want to share some interesting stories, please do in the commentary section.
So sit back, relax, and let me flay your mind.

Happy Tuesday! The Etsy On Sale FAQs series is back with our second installment. This quick video will guide you through how to include or exclude specific listings when scheduling your sales events.
How would this feature be useful to you? There are several ways in which this feature comes in handy. It is primarily used when you want to run a sale on specific items you hand pick for discount.
Example scenarios:
- Maybe you are running a Father's Day sale, so you want to select items you think would make great gifts for Dads. And since these items are spread over several sections, you need to individually select them.
- Perhaps you have some older items in your inventory you want to put on sale in order to make room for a new product line coming up.
- You want to run a sale on everything in your shop except those two newest items you just made. You can exclude those listings you do NOT want placed on sale.
The Include/Exclude feature enables you to customize your sales event beyond just a certain section or your entire shop.
If you missed our first FAQ post about important Sales Event Guidelines, be sure to check it out! And for other questions on our tools and managing your EOS account, you can also check out our Help page.
As always, feel free to reach out to us at email@example.com with any questions.

Almond Berry Linzer Cookies
And I'm not sure why it's taken me this long??
They're so beautiful, like little stained glass windows.
And they're amazingly delicious.
And puts a smile on every kid (and husband's) face.
Yep. That's what these are all about.
I already use Crisco for the Never Fail Pie Crust recipe, and I use it in my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies, and also in the Gingerbread Softies (Dang. Are the holidays here yet?? I need all of these).
So I already know how amazing Crisco works in baked goods. It really gives cookies that really light-and-crisp-but-still-soft kind of touch. It's hard to describe----it's just that, magic of Crisco!
And I LOVE the Crisco butter-flavor baking sticks because it makes the process even easier. For this recipe, you just toss in one stick. EASY.
(makes appx. 2 dozen cookies)
1 stick Crisco® Baking Sticks Butter Flavor All-Vegetable Shortening (or 1 cup of Crisco)
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp almond extract
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup ground almonds (optional)
Berry jam
Powdered sugar for dusting
Beat the first four ingredients in a bowl with an electric mixer for one minute.
In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. The ground almonds are optional, but they are SO good in there---they add a lot of flavor. To create the ground almonds, I took a small package of sliced almonds and ground them in my food processor. If you don't have one, just crunch them up with your hands or use a mallet over a bag.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix, just until incorporated. Try not to over mix.
Work in small batches and roll the dough onto a floured surface, till it's fairly thin. It's important to work in small batches so your dough doesn't become oversaturated with flour and become heavy. You want to it stay light and soft. I also prefer to roll the dough as thin as possible without it breaking, since you are going to sandwich two cookies together in the end. This makes for a lighter cookie if you can roll them thin.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out many stars (you can use other shapes too. I just like the look of stars, but they're definitely more fragile to work with!). Use a metal spatula to transfer the stars to a baking sheet. Then use a smaller cookie cutter to cut out a smaller star from the center, on half of the cookies. Remove the smaller star with a toothpick.
Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cook. Then comes the fun part...
Use your favorite berry jams to create the little "stained glass" windows. I used homemade Strawberry Jam, Blackberry, and some other berry mixes. It looks so pretty to use a variety of colors. Maybe I should throw jalapeno jelly in there for a real holiday mix!
Then dust the cut-out cookies with powdered sugar. Place them on a baking sheet or plate to do this---and shake a small strainer filled with powdered sugar over the top. Then place each window cookie on top of the jam cookies and carefully sandwich them together.
And I definitely won't admit how many I ate while preparing this blog post.
Of course every bit started with, "I'll just eat one point of the star"....and ended with me having to try every flavor in the mix.
Hooray for the holidays! And hooray for Crisco.

Beauty in a Bottle Premieres October 29 in Cinemas Nationwide!8:25:00 AM
Quantum and Skylight Films proudly presents another film that will tackle insecurities and what real beauty is all about. Starring Assunta De Rossi, Angeline Quinto and Angelica Panganiban.
The movie, written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone, tells how three women (Angeline, Assunta de Rossi, and Angelica Panganiban) cope in their quest for overcoming their beauty (or lack of it) issues.
It will be the second movie of Angeline Quinto after being paired with Coco Martin in the movie, "Born to Love You". For me, Angeline is really meant for Comedic roles, she fits in naturally, she knows how to throw in punch lines which at times may look she's just telling a joke but the truth is, what she is saying is a fact after all and based from experience.
In the presscon of the said movie, Angeline recalled that there were times in the past that she indeed felt ugly especially those times when she was still auditioning in different singing contests.
"People would ask to have their pictures taken with the other candidates, and ignored me," she says. Only a few asked for her autograph. One time, a group of fans asked her to take their picture with one of her fellow candidates. They thought she, too, was just one of them.
Angeline admitted that it's past time she undergoes improvement because it will also boost her self esteem and confidence, she has been taking injections administered by a doctor to make her skin fairer and smoother. She believes her beauty has leveled up somewhat, from 20 percent then by her own estimation to 70 percent at present.
Assunta on the other hand portrays a much different role compared to her sexy roles in the past, this time, she will feel insecure to Ellen Adarna in the movie because she is young, fairer and sexier. Assunta admitted that right now she is indeed trying to gain some weight because her doctor said she needed it if she wanted to have a baby and her husband, also wanted to her to have sexy curves.
As for Angelica Panganiban, she is dealing with aging and being fat. All three find their hopes being buoyed by a so-called beauty solution in a bottle.
In portraying a woman coping with overweight issues, Angelica claimed that she purposely gained a lot of weight to look credible in the part. Most of the press and bloggers find it really funny but we all know how good Angelica is when it comes to comedy and throwing punch lines.
Angelica admitted that is has been an on and off battle with gaining weight issues. She loves to cook and eat which is why she is having a hard time to maintain her weight but nevertheless, she loves her curves right now and we believe so is JLC. "Of course, you get hurt sometimes but I'm not totally affected. I mean, it's my choice whatever I want to do, like if I want to eat or I want to wear make-up at kung ito di mo gusto, hindi rin naman kita gusto so it's just fair."
What part of her body does her beau John Lloyd Cruz love the most?
"Feeling ko 'yung lips ko because he would always kiss me on the lips."
She added that comedy is really difficult for her maybe because she has been doing drama scenes for the past 10 or so years.
"Beauty in a Bottle," produced by Skylight Films and Quantum Films, is co-written by director Jadaone with Chris Martinez. The romantic comedy opens Oct 29.

The last few days have been nothing short of a deep loathing of myself. I have not taken my wellbutrin in a couple days because I just seem to be feeling worse with it than before I started taking it again. It's so hard to get out of bed and do anything productive, or anyless something I'd enjoy or look forward to. I am truely just existing with no drive. In my head I have a drive, to be happy, get back to my original 'normal' weight (what I weighed before my ED started), which was 120lbs. That's 15lbs away! I feel like maybe I cant get back down to that again, but thinking like that solidifies that assumption. Im trying, but obviously not enough. It's that much harder when you aren't happy, you'd rather just dive into food and numb out. But that's how I got fat as a child, to numb out my horrible feelings about myself, which only fed into a cycle of weight gain, guilt of my weight, and eating to punish and feel numb, which only is temporary. I want to snap out of it, and no matter what I do, even forcing myself to do things I once liked, only gets me more angry.
I try to think what 'clicked' the first time when I lost those 55lbs. All I remember is my mom moving out, me starting a job that was viewed as a career, and going to school to get my massage license. I remember being busy. Always busy. Working full time and school full time leaves little room for eating and having time to think about food.
Tomorrow is my day off, and since I cleaned my apartment literally all day yesterday, I'll be going to the gym. I really miss the gym, and I dont view it as a weightloss tool, really more of a toning tool, and a big way to relieve stress. I get a free membership through my work, and I think thats why I dont take advantage of it as I should, because I dont pay and its just there. So I'll have to pretend its coming out of my paycheck...
I got this masterpiece on Friday, and it's fricken huge. (47" HD LCD 1080p 120Hz) My boyfriend and I have been planning to get one, and we finally went out once I got my credit card in the mail. Only $400 left to pay on it and then to buy something else! Since my boyfriend works for a cable company, we have every channel. All the movie channels, and half off on pay per view. Mmmhmmmm.

The Sneak Attack
Bella, my Maremma, turned one year old on November 19. The Maremma is a breed that originated in Italy and has been bred for centuries to protect livestock from predators. When I purchased Bella the intent was to keep the cougar and coyotes out of the yard and away from the sheep. When she was five months old, she chased two coyotes out of the corral, through the field, until they turned on her and began to beat her up. She didn't quit and run back. My dad, hearing her cry, ran out with his gun. Only when he called her in did she back off and return to the barnyard.
Bella was bonding fabulously until the I purchased the sheep from hell (Sheep Escapades). These sheep ran away from her and beat her up when she went out to be with her. Needless to say these sheep didn't last long. Hopefully residing in someone's freezer now. My new sheep are used to being with a guardian dog and tolerate her, just as she tolerates them. Bella was doing a fantastic job hanging out in the field and with the sheep. When to my dismay she went into heat.
I was not interested in having "ooops" puppies. This meant Bella went into jail, only to be released when supervised. Poor confused Bella now thinks the yard is what she should be protecting. So I've begun the sneak attack regime.
Bella is terrified of my old lunge whip with a plastic bag on the end used for sacking out colts. When I catch her near the house, I run out and madly shake the whip, shouting "Get back to your sheep!" Bella always takes off as though someone goosed her. Bella is a very intelligent dog. She's figured out when my car pulls into the drive to take off, or when the door opens to take off. So I've begun setting my watch for half hour intervals. Every half hour I sneak out of the house, grab the whip and go looking for her. If she's in the field I sneak back to the house. But if she's somewhere the sheep aren't I jump out at her and shake the whip at her. This strategy is strangely effective.
I'm sure people driving by think I'm slightly nutty. Whatever works...

Blood Counts charity fund launched at The Royal Oldham Hospital
THE Mayor of Oldham Councillor Derek Heffernan joined staff, patients and volunteers at The Royal Oldham Hospital's haematology unit today (Tuesday 21 March 2017) to officially launch the hospital's new Blood Counts charity fund.
Raising money for the unit, which is housed on ward F11 at the hospital, the fund will be used to purchase additional equipment and enhancements to facilities to assist staff at The Royal Oldham Hospital to provide the highest standard of care to patients.
Although money has been previously raised by patients, relatives and staff on the unit for various pieces of equipment and amenities, the official launch of the Blood Counts charity fund saw the Mayor undertake a tour of the unit and cut a cake which was decorated with the Blood Counts charity logo.
The cake was then shared with patients and relatives on the unit.
Blood Counts cupcakes were also sold in the Café Royal restaurant at The Royal Oldham Hospital for staff and visitors to buy to boost the charity funds.
The haematology unit treats patients with chronic long term blood disorders and blood cancers in the integrated day case and 22 bedded inpatient unit. Most patients attending the department are receiving chemotherapy and can be in hospital for prolonged periods of time combined with numerous day case attendances.
Patient care on the unit is coordinated by an extensive team of consultants, specialist registrars, clinical nurse specialists and many others whose focus is on providing compassionate and quality driven care.
Stephen Rogers from Bury is currently raising money for Blood Counts after his wife Ange received treatment on the unit for multiple myeloma before her death in April 2015.
Stephen explained: "I lost my wife Angela on 18th April 2015 after she had battled with cancer for 18 months, having suffered two tumours. She spent a lot a lot of time in and out of ward F11 at Oldham, as well as having stem cell replacement at Manchester Royal Infirmary. I got to see first-hand the lengths the doctors and nurses went to, to help Ange, and indeed watched as she improved her health enough to get back to work to the job she loved. Unfortunately, we were unlucky as the cancer came back.
"I reflect upon that time, and remember that the amount of progress I witnessed on ward F11 really impressed me, and would even go as far as to say, gave us more quality time together with our family, than at some points seemed possible. I would say that thanks to all your efforts, we were lucky to gain another year of happiness together, that at one time seemed may not happen, and I'm extremely grateful. After my own brush with cancer, I'm now in a position to attempt to give something back, and I'm hoping that Ferringo Fest will help raise much needed funds for ward F11 and the Blood Counts charity."
Stephen has arranged a charity music event called the Ferringo Fest on 28 May 2017 from 1pm at Walshaw Sports Club, Bury. The day will consist of entertainment from his band 'The Steve Ferringo Band' and other talented musicians.
The Mayor of Oldham Councillor Derek Heffernan said:
"I know this ward and unit very well. The dedicated staff here do a fantastic job. I know how important it is to raise funds for such causes. Money that is raised always goes into the unit to support staff, and most importantly, patients and their relatives. I would like to thank everyone involved in the Blood Counts fund and I wish you all the very best in your efforts."
Nicola Firth, Director of Nursing at The Royal Oldham Hospital, said:
"The Trust and The Royal Oldham Hospital is dedicated to providing the highest standards of care to all of our patients and support through charitable donations plays an important role in helping us implement a continuous programme of improvement. The Blood Counts fund will specifically benefit the many patients who receive care on our Haematology Unit. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the generous fundraisers, patients and relatives who have previously made donations, and we look forward to working with many more new supporters whose generosity will help patients in the months and years to come."
Amanda Lane, Macmillan Lead Haematology CNS, Lead Nurse for Teenage and Young Adults with Cancer, Haematology Unit, added:
"We are very proud on ward F11 of the care we give. Our care is quality driven and compassionate with the patient and their family at the heart of everything that we do. The aim of the charity is to further enhance the care that we give by raising money in order to fund items which can help to make the treatment and care that the patients and their families receive more bearable. Some of these items may be considered luxuries but when you consider that a patient can remain in hospital in isolation for four weeks, suddenly these luxuries can be a vital.
"To date kind donations have been used to provide recliner chairs to enable relatives to stay overnight with very sick patients. A complementary therapist is also employed for one day a week to provide complementary therapies to patients; this is a service we would like to extend."
If you would like to make a donation to Blood Counts or to register as a fundraiser for Blood Counts please ring the Trust's charity office on 0161 908 4497, email email@example.com or visit the Trust's website at www.pat.nhs.uk

August 22, 2008; Here's Why I'm Holding My Positions
The Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100 show similar patterns that are text book 5 wave impulsive declines with corrections stalling at their prior 4th waves (for now). The Nasdaqs have tended to lead the overall market all year. When they outperform the blue chips, it's bullish and the market is rallying, when they underperform the blue chips, it's bearish and the market falls. Well this is the third day in a row the Nadaqs have lagged the blue chips. Also, they've traced out a 5 wave decline unlike the blue chips. And their rally today is stalling in a typical resistence area of a previous 4th wave (see 15min chart above).
So the bearish structure of the Nasdaqs are keeping me in the game. Once those give way, and the technicals of the overall market look bullish, then I'll close my positions and become neutral until clarity re-enters the picture.

In June 2008, at the age of 32, Matthew Morton was diagnosed with the deadliest form of brain cancer, Glioblastoma Multiforme. He was given 12-18 months to live by his doctors; statistically he had less than a 3% chance of surviving longer than three years.
Despite the devastation of a death sentence with limited time remaining, Matthew fought hard to beat the disease. Through multiple surgical, chemotherapy and radiation treatments, Matthew has not only survived longer than any of his doctors had predicted but has thrived in doing so.
Matthew has lived an inspirational life to all of us. He is a fantastic husband to Heidi, and they have added two children to their young family in the years subsequent to his diagnosis. He is a devoted and loving father to Brooke, 8, Zachary, 4, and Joshua, 2. A highly esteemed obstetrician, Matthew has dedicated his life to others by helping to bring new life into this world, and teaching the next generation of doctors who have followed in his path.
Unfortunately, no level of heroics could overcome the inevitability of Matthew's condition and after years of treatment, surgeries, medication and prayer, Matthew's condition has recently taken a turn for the worse. He is now at home in palliative care, with limited time left. There are no further treatments available.
This is a tragedy affecting many people but none more so than Heidi and the children. Beyond the physical loss of Matthew's passing, they are losing the primary provider for the family, with no safety net in place. At the time of Matthew's diagnosis, he was in the process of obtaining a life insurance policy. His seizure, which led to the MRI which discovered the tumor, occurred on a Friday, his medical evaluation for the insurance policy was scheduled for the following Monday; ultimately he was denied coverage.
We kindly ask you to help support Matthew's family during this tremendously difficult time by making a donation. Money raised will go directly to support the Morton family's expenses – today with special care and medical costs, and down the road with education, food, clothing and the like.
Just as Matthew and Heidi have always been there for those around them, it is now our turn now to be there for their family.
Thank you.
Matthew and Heidi's friends

Fishing Friday: Head for the rivers this weekend
THE outlook isn't real promising for the offshore anglers as 15 knots or better are the predictions for wind in the coming days.
It must mean either catch up on brownie points with the family or hit the estuaries and the islands.
The Fitzroy River keeps delivering both king salmon and barramundi from the town reaches down to Port Alma and Connor's Creek.
The top barra fishers usually fish near the top and bottom of the tide.
When you don't have time to go when the tides are right, you need to search out other spots. Switch up your approach and look for areas where bait is moving in or out with the tide.
Look for eddies and features which divert bait schools from straight line travel against the shore and also provide ambush points out of the main current for the barra or king.
Barra are generally a lazy fish, if they can let the tide and the features bring the baits to them, all the better. Sometimes these big fish will be in water that barely covers their backs.
Flathead, bream, whiting, salmon, mangrove jack and fingermark are other species on the chew at present.
I saw a couple of decent muddies this week from the delta area in the river.
That could mean there is the odd one about.
The Emu Park Fishing Classic is definitely going ahead. Watch this space for more details in the coming weeks.
At present registrations are open on the website only for the inaugural Emu Park Fishing Classic.

This is a photo taken at the Offshore wind conference in Aberdeen.
Do we see 'Protecting the Marine Environment' here. "Offers better use of resources (applicant, regulator and advisors)" What about THE PEOPLE? You know. The ones that pay your wages! This is a disgrace! Offers a one stop shop for "licensing" and "Consenting". Says it all really. If I were a Wind pimp I would see this as a big green light and sod all those fishermen and sailors who have used our seas for Generations. These are the people that Marine Scotland should be representing balanced with the interests of the Marine Environment. All that Marine Scotland seems interested in would be rape of our seas for Golden Dubloons. Remind them that they are complicit in that.


text: Our project is one that we feel will benefit the Earth as well as the positive and helping spirit of our society. We are going to pick up trash at parks and beaches around the bay area in an effort to make our community appear nicer and help conserve our beautiful planet. So far we have mapped out all the places we are planning to go during the course of our project. Also, we have taken pictures of our preparation such as the map and our supplies that we will be using. We are going to be getting our supplies by calling this number from a commercial that gives you free supplies to help pick up trash. In addition, we plan to get a lot of positive results from this project. We intend to reach a certain weight of trash each few weeks and take pictures of ourselves while doing it. As a result, our community will look cleaner and the Earth will be more taken care of. Also, we hope to inspire others that see us helping the environment to do the same themselves. I, as well as the rest of my group am really excited to help out.

Have you heard of HiShop (pronounced Hai-shop)? HiShop is an online beauty and cosmetics store that only carries Genuine Products. Now for those of you like me, spend a lot of time at home and hardly have time to go out much alone shop (with kids,strollers and bags in tow) HiShop is the solution for you. I do quite a bit of internet shopping and rather than spend the time in long queues and the mad rush of a Big Sale..I prefer to do mine in relative quiet..so shopping via a computer is very appealing to me.
HiShop is managed by the same folks who brought you White.my and MilkADeal.com and together with their highly experienced beauty advisors, they strive to give you comprehensive access to your beauty choices and decisions at your fingertips. The great thing about HiShop is they have regular flash sales, loads of buy and add-on promotions, as well as loyalty points that can be used against future purchases.
So what did I get from my first purchase at HiShop….. Hahah!!!! If you have been reading my previous posts then you probably know I'm an eyeliner junkie. So as usual, when I saw the variety of eyeliners they had in mandatory black to tempting hues I just could not resist.
So what did I get from HiShop … For starters I purchased 2 (two) items. Stage Eyeliner Pencil – RM 33 and Ronasutra 2in1 Mineral Base & Foundation – RM 45 for a total of RM 78. I used my Cosmobox voucher which gave me a discount for purchases above RM 50, so after discounts I paid a total of RM 53. I also got free shipping because purchases above RM 50 are entitled to free whipping and that's not all. At checkout I was give the opportunity to choose two free gift samples so I chose Nature & Co Purity Lift Mask (sample size) and Twistband Hair Tie (sample)
The eyeliner is a twist type and is made in Germany. The line is easily modulated by the pressure you put while drawing and you can do both thick or thin lines. I switch between thick or thin depending on the mood or the occasion 🙂 The eyeliner consistency is thick and creamy and easily glides on. The best thing about this eyeliner is that it's smudgeproof and waterproof so kiss those panda eyes goodbye 🙂
Now without a doubt Eyeliner's bring out the beauty of your eyes and for many they are truly indispensable. But did you know that often we tend to neglect another important feature in our face ..yes!!! our lips. Our lips take a lot of punishment, it's probably the part of our face that does a lot of work. We put food and drink through them, we bite them when anxious, we put colours on them so it's no doubt that they're always chapped, dry and peeling at the end of the day.
I found the best way to care for your lips is to apply a balm to calm and condition the skin on your lips. And for that I use Stage's Wonderbalm lipcare. I've been using this for a really long time and I love how it makes my lips soft, supple and looking absolutely glowing with health. Infused with emollient containing Vitamin C & E, this balm soothes and helps in creating absolutely kissable lips.
So this is it for now ladies. As you know Stage Cosmetics are available on HiShop and you can click here to see what's on offer. Until later…. here's to a great week ahead 🙂

Tonight's Evening Brief is brought to you by the Canadian Executive Service Organization (CESO). CESO mentors are highly skilled Canadians who share their wisdom to accelerate economic development in communities here at home and around the world. Learn how you can make a difference today at www.ceso-saco.com.
Evening all,
Prime Minister Stephen Harper got an unwelcome shock today. Police have charged teacher Phil Nolan, who plays the drums in Harper's band, with five counts of sexual assault and five of sexual interference with a minor. Nolan has been charged in connection with incidents dating back to 1998 and 2000. Jason MacDonald, director of communications in the Prime Minister's Office, issued a statement saying, "We are obviously shocked and disturbed by these serious charges. No allegations of this nature have ever been brought to our attention. Anyone found guilty of these charges should face the full force of the law. Given that this individual is now facing charges, it would be inappropriate to comment any further at this time."
Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand is pushing back against the Conservative government's electoral reform package. Mayrand told reporters this morning that the proposed overhaul risks hampering the ability of the chief electoral officer and the commissioner of elections to do their jobs. Speaking to reporters after appearing before the procedure and House affairs committee, Mayrand said there are a number of clauses in the bill he finds troubling that could impact his ability to oversee Canada's elections. iPolitics' Elizabeth Thompson has the story.
Meanwhile, the NDP is pulling out all the procedural tricks it knows in a bid to stave off the government's shutdown of debate on the new, 242-page bill. The party wants more time to study what they say is a bill that will increase voter suppression among minority groups. "Passing major changes to the Elections Act should be done [in] a non-partisan way, consulting with experts and all parties," NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair said in a statement. "Instead, Conservatives are shutting down debate to ram through a bill that gives them an advantage."
Citizenship has its privileges. That was the message from Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander this morning when he unveiled proposed sweeping changes to the Citizenship Act aimed at strengthening the value of Canadian citizenship and increasing the efficiency of the process required to attain it. The proposed changes include increasing eligibility requirements for immigrants who want to become Canadians and stripping citizenship from terrorists and those who take up arms against Canada. See Michelle Zilio's handy 10 things you need to know about the proposed Citizenship Act changes.
The parliamentary budget office has come up with numbers on public servant sick days that undermine the ones quoted by Treasury Board President Tony Clement. The federal budget watchdog says public servants take an average of 11.5 paid sick days a year, compared with 18 days reported by Clement.
The Protect Aid campaign, a group of six NGOs formed to lobby the federal government on maintaining its fiscal commitments to foreign aid, presented a petition to Parliament this morning with more than 20,000 names on it. The group's representatives have spent the past week meeting with government MPs ahead of next week's federal budget and say they've been reassured that Canada's investment in foreign aid will remain effectively unchanged.
In a political climate that rewards those who shrink government, iPolitics James Munson reports that the government of the Northwest Territories (GWNT) is taking another tack. The devolution deal with the federal government signed last year means a lot of jobs in the federal government have disappeared. In October, the GNWT offered jobs to as many affected AAND employees who already work in the territory as it could. The take-up has been "staggering." In Yellowknife today, the GNWT tabled its first post-devolution budget, which projects a $200 million surplus and echoes the call for more workers.
In Toronto, a coalition of media organizations says Ottawa isn't doing enough to free an Egyptian-Canadian journalist imprisoned in Cairo. Mohamed Fahmy and two of his colleagues were working for satellite news broadcaster Al Jazeera English when they were arrested on Dec. 29. He was charged late last month with allegedly using illegal equipment, broadcasting false news and being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt's military-led government has branded a terrorist organization.
In Sochi, on the eve of the Olympics, the United Nations secretary-general has used a speech to IOC members gathered at the site to condemn attacks on the LGBT community, amid growing criticism of Russia's so-called "gay propaganda" laws. Ban Ki-moon highlighted the fact that the theme of the UN's human rights day last December was "sport comes out against homophobia."
Ban was backed up by an open letter to Russia signed by 200 prominent authors from around the world, including Margaret Atwood and Yann Martel, denouncing the "chokehold" they say Russia's anti-gay and blasphemy laws place on freedom of expression.

From the world of diplomacy, former State Department spokesperson and current Assistant Secretary of State for Europe Victoria Nuland was caught deploying a distinct lack of nuance in the leaked audio of a phone call about Europe's efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. "[email protected]#* the EU," Nuland exhorts the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine in the audio, which was leaked to the Kyiv Post and posted on YouTube. Washington, which should know, is pointing the finger at Russia for the tap and the leak.
Still with diplomacy, a twitterized dustup between the U.S. and Russian ambassadors to the UN over U.S. envoy and human rights icon Samantha Power's threat to join Pussy Riot on the road.
Finally, from the yeah-but-if-they-were-expenseable department: Our friends at the Ottawa Citizen report that the nation's capital didn't even make the list of the top 25 Canadian cities based on orders of sex toys. Victoria was number one, so it's clearly not a government town issue. Grande Prairie, Alta., came in second. Really.
Good night.
