CASTRIES, St Lucia, Tuesday August 28, 2018 – Three United States carriers – American Airlines, JetBlue and United Airlines – are boosting flights to St Lucia, starting in the fall.
The St Lucia Tourism Authority (SLTA) says JetBlue is expanding its luxury Mint service in the Caribbean and will launch this service on flights from Boston Logan International Airport to St Lucia starting November 3, 2018. The airline will also resume its Mint service on Saturday flights from New York's JFK airport to St Lucia, starting February 2019.
United Airlines' Saturday-only flights from Chicago O'Hare will operate starting January 5, 2019 through April 30, 2019.
American Airlines previously announced that it will add a new daily flight into St Lucia from Miami, Florida beginning December 19, 2018.
Acting CEO at the SLTA, Tiffany Howard said the Authority recognizes the importance of airlift to grow the tourism sector, and has been working hard to get more flights into the Eastern Caribbean island.
"Already, we have had record stayover arrivals this year, and this new JetBlue service, plus the new American Airlines flight from Miami, Florida starting in December and United Airline's service from Chicago in January, will only serve to increase the number of visitors staying over in St Lucia. This is great news for us!" she said.
However, she stressed that the SLTA would not stop at those gains.
"We are continuing to negotiate additional airlift into St Lucia because it is paramount to our success. We will leverage St Lucia's desirability among potential visitors to attract increased air traffic from both our traditional and non-traditional airlines partners, especially out of our major source markets, so we can satisfy the growing demand for destination St Lucia," Howard said.

It's nearly five years since I started working in FE. On my first day at a college, a stolen car was chased through the car park at speed by police vans. Staff were warned to get back in their vehicles as the dogs were released in pursuit of disembarking young passengers.
In retrospect, I'm surprised I went back the next day. I've come a long way from those first terrifying months when my classes, seen from the outside, looked like the opening shots of a Panorama episode demonstrating the horror of today's youth. The students weren't the problem, my inexperience was.
I know I still have a lot to learn in order to improve, and I hope I'll feel the same commitment to developing my skills 20 years down the line.
But I haven't been attracted to gaining a full-time position in any one place, having always enjoyed the variety of working in a number of areas within the sector. For me, having time to pursue my profession far outweighs any gripes that come with being freelance. Working across a number of settings means exposure to a range of learner cohorts, methods of practice and organisational strategies, making it almost impossible to become infected by boredom or, worse, cynicism.
For some education professionals, descending into a state of institutionalisation is an accidental confusion of loyalty with insularity. It is burrowing, settling or, God forbid, slouching into a role so deeply that the outside world becomes an irrelevant place. This is a dangerous attitude. It does not provide a fertile ground for innovation or creativity, nor produce a respectful questioning of hierarchy. It rolls out an army of once-curious teachbots. With Stockholm syndrome.
In my first year on the job, I had a colleague whose Stepford-like response every time I tried a new strategy to engage a group or created a resource to share with the team was: "Research shows that teachers do the best work of their careers in the first two years of their professional lives." On reflection, not the most encouraging comment. The patronising acceptance that enthusiasm is short-lived concerned me. Would I one day hear a dull klaxon to alert me that my best days were in the past?
A key function of FE is to prepare young people for a world outside education. If staff boundaries of interest and investigation are aligned with those of the campus, how can that essential purpose of the sector be effectively delivered?
Happily, there is much evidence to prove that a jaded attitude doesn't develop in direct proportion to length of time in the job. I have a friend who has worked in FE for more than three decades, and at the same college for two of them. With retirement on the horizon, she still finds working with young people, often at the more challenging end of the behavioural spectrum, invigorating.
I have searched out colleagues with a similar enquiring perspective and I'm fortunate to be in discussion with a growing Twitter network of FE professionals at every stage of their careers. What all these friends have in common is the belief that learning and improvement isn't a journey to be completed. They know their best days are yet to come.
Sarah Simons works in a large FE college in Mansfield.

I'm going to start with a bit of my story because it is very similar to many of the people I meet. You see, I saw mediating as a New Age practice that "woo-woo" people did. It made me uncomfortable just thinking about it! Although I was curious about people found these practices so helpful, I felt they were not for me. My world had taught me two things people who do that sort of thing are judged harshly and that in my religion we pray.
My thirties were a blur with balancing work, a family and babies but as I look back at it, this is when meditation began to creep into my life. (I'll tell you about that in a bit)
Then I attended a class where I was expected to close my eyes and meditate.
For Real!
Honestly, I was that person who smirked, giggled and could not keep their eyes closed. I thought this was ridiculous, but everyone else was so serious I played along!
I got better with each class I took, but my brain was a hot mess. (Again, this was not for me)
Allowing yourself to view situations with a fresh perspective brings a reality check.
You see, I always saw meditation from the eyes of other people and what worked for them. I needed to do some research to understand the purpose for myself. I Googled every combination of words and read countless books.
Meditation is not spiritual, ALTHOUGH you can make it that way.
- Catholic, Yes
- Islamic, Yes
- Jewish, Yes
- New Age, Yes
- Buddhist, Yes
- Christian, Yes
Plus countless more
To meditate means to take your attention Away From, and Focus on Another, meaning:
- Music
- Nature
- Yoga
- You name it!
- Breathing
- Mantra
- Painting
- Visualizing
It does not need a special place. It can be done during one breath, a jog/ walk, staring into space or yes a purposeful moment of meditation in the traditional sense.
A moment of peace - Ahh exactly what I was looking for
For me, the first time I experienced this was holding my sleeping baby in my arms, inhaling and feeling the stress leave my body as I exhaled. Both my babies were cryers, and I had so much stress built up in me, this simple act of release was something I began to look forward to.
Did this fit under the traditional definition of meditating? No.
Does it fit under the actual definition of meditation? YES.
Why all the talk about mediation?
I'll leave that up to the experts! Here is Giovanni with a great article + infographic explaining 76 Scientific Benefits! of Meditating
He boils down the 3,000 scientific studies which show how meditation benefits our emotional well-being, our brains, and bodies.
Our Focus - Increases
Our Immunity - Strengthens
Our Overall Sense of Well-being - Increase
The question remains, why are so many of us resistant to it?
We would rather tolerate our hectic, stressful lives than to stop and be quiet and live in silence for just a few moments. What does that say about us?
For me, it was clear I had no idea how to take care of my mental health.
Let me take it a step further. If I didn't know about my mental health how did I expect those around me to know what I needed?
This is where MINDFULNESS came into play.
If I couldn't figure out how to meditate or what I needed to feel comfortable in silence, then at least I could start paying attention to what I was thinking and feeling.
Something amazing began to occur, I began to shorten the amount of negative chatter in my head. This may not seem like a big deal, but listen to yourself for a day, and you'll hear it!
What did I do?
Every moment I would catch myself going on and on about something, I'd asked myself:
Why does this bother me so much? (answer A)
But why does _(A)___ bother me so much? (answer B)
And why does ___(B)___ bother me so much? (answer C)
I did this until I could get no further. And then I would decide what to do about it.
A strange way to begin mindfulness, right! But it was perfect because it met me where I was at not trying to jump to an expert.
In doing this exercise not only did I discover what was "really" going on, but I also became mindful of my thoughts and feelings and why I acted the way I did!
I learned why I was getting ticked off, why I was hurt when XYZ happened. I discovered what boundaries needed to be shared.
Gradually this process becomes second nature.
Mindfulness simply means to Pay Attention.
When our minds and brains are working at lightning speed, this is not possible to hit the emergency break. Makes complete sense why we have so much trouble even attempting to meditate, right!
Here are suggestions to start the process:
- Begin with the mindful exercise I described above. As you go about your life pay attention to your thoughts and feelings and actions
- Begin meditating by focusing on one thing. (Below is link with resources)
- When you hear chatter in your head, let it go until you are done OR write the thought down, so you don't have to try to remember it.
- Set the alarm on your phone, so it's one last thing to keep track of.
These are just some suggestions. Today, I challenge you to find your meditation path. You can start small as I did, but start! With even a few moments of clarity, you will find a clear head can give you fresh perspective.
Send me a note, I'd love to hear about them: email@example.com
Remember, Focused Direction starts when you stop to Breathe. Think. and Create. the world you want to live in!

I've been getting a bunch of emails asking where some of the best thrift stores are and some of you said how helpful it would be to know other readers' faves, especially when traveling! So, if there are spots that you're totally obsessed with, let me know!! I'll put together a handy list so when any of you are heading to Toronto (Amber - we'll get some great spots together for your next trip!) or Tucson, you'll have some legit go-to favorites!
I took a trip to Solvang which is this fab little town about an hour and a half outside LA.
For those of you who saw Sideways, it's the lovely wine stop where Paul Giamatti got wasted :) It feels like Disneyland! The buildings are all Danish themed from bakeries with delish pastries to cheese shops and windmills.
Of course, amidst all the driving through the vineyards...
...I had to stop at a thrift store my eagle eyes picked up on from the side of the street!
People Helping People Thrift Store was what we found. There were a bunch of clothing racks and shoes, but I was drawn more to the jewelry counter.
All the proceeds go to fund the People Helping People charity which made it even better.
Address details:
1980 Old Mission Dr # C2 Solvang, CA 93463-2262 (805) 686-9897
Leave your favorites below or email me - email@example.com! We'll continue to compile an amazing master list of thrift store 'musts'!

ABOUT US: Detroit Youth Food Brigade (DYFB) is a collaboration between local high school students, food-based business, and neighborhood markets to promote food justice and build the local food economy in Detroit. This summer, 20 motivated students recruited through an application process will be trained and paired with 10 committed food-based businesses to learn their ins and outs and sell their products in 10 neighborhood markets around the city.
And the students get paid! Participating students receive a $580 summer stipend in addition to 60 hours of rigorous training in food production, business development, sales, marketing, financial literacy, customer service, and general work ethic.
WHY SUPPORT THE FOOD BRIGADE? It's a win for everyone!
Students gain hands-on skills and expertise in entrepreneurship and business management, marketing and sales, cooking and nutrition, sourcing, and logistics. Local food businesses gain additional product outlets, a brand boost, and valuable staff support. Neighborhood markets gain increased support and product diversity, greater economic impact, and improved food security in their surrounding areas.
WE NEED YOU!: We received a generous $30,000 grant in support for our program, but we need another $12,000 to purchase a truck along with the necessary equipment and supplies (tables, chairs, tents, coolers, displays) to make this program a true success. The more money we raise through Kickstarter, the more students we can hire, the more interactive training we can offer, the more food-based businesses we can include in the program, the more neighborhood markets we can support, and the longer we can extend the program. We ultimately hope to extend the program into the school year and provide Detroit high school students with year-round employment!
THERE'S MORE?!: Not only does this program have fantastic current impact potential, it's also financially sustainable! We need funding to get off the ground, but each market stand will generate income for the program. All income will be invested back into the program so that we can continue expanding to more students, more businesses, and more markets. This is just the beginning of a youth-led campaign for city-wide food security and a flourishing local food economy in Detroit.
HOW DOES KICKSTARTER WORK?: You can select your rewards and level of donation today, but your credit card won't actually be billed until July 2nd at 11:59pm, when the campaign ends. And you only get billed if we reach our funding goal. On the flip side, we only get paid if we reach our funding goal, so we need your support!
Funding period
- (20 days)

More than nine years ago, self-proclaimed germaphobe, Howie Mandel went public with his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and sent celebrity-watching societies into a fist bumping frenzy.
The fist bump dates back to the 1800s boxing arena. At the beginning of a boxing match, the two contenders would meet in the center of the ring and hit their gloved fists together as a form of greeting. This action slipped into the Cricket world in 1990 when two batsmen in Australia met at the plate and bumped fists at the start of the game and continued to do so throughout the game. Since then, the fist bump has made its way into other sports as well.
The Urban Dictionary defines it this way: fist bump
When 2 or more people, friends, make a fist and bump each other
with their knuckles as a way of saying hello, what's up,
keep up the good work.
In 2009, the Dean of Medicine at the University of Calgary suggested the fist bump could help prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus, which seemed to be spread mostly by casual handshakes. Thus began the craze of fist bumps spreading into the general population of the world.
Violence seems to be more prevalent today than it was in the first centuries A.D., the dark ages, during the Salem witch trials and other barbaric times in the world's history. Perhaps it isn't more violent, it just seems that way due to the modern ways we indulge. It is no longer enough to simply engage in violent acts. We prefer to view it on television, at the movies and on the internet. We read it in books, magazines and newspapers.
With a society that is becoming more violent, it is, perhaps, appropriate for the greeting to be a greeting of violence by putting up your closed fist rather than an open hand. This is, in actuality, what is happening. Ceasing with handshakes does not stop the spread of germs. People do not realize that germs can survive on the knuckles as well as they can on the palm of the hand. In order to keep your body free of germs you may as well walk around in a plastic bubble.
The handshake dates back to 5th-century B.C. via ruins found by archeologists who found carvings depicting two persons shaking hands without weapons. For centuries, the handshake has been the greeting in polite societies. There are other greetings, a number of which do not involve the touching of hands at all.
In dealing with animals, if you approach them with a closed fist, you will likely get bitten, if not eaten. However, if you approach with an open hand and gently speak to the animal, you may be able to pet it and perhaps befriend it.
Now there's a novel idea. Approach with openness in a non-aggressive manner.
As an adult survivor of child abuse, I had been punched many times. While I have dealt with this part of my PTSD, I still feel a twinge if someone raises a closed fist to me even in a manner of greeting. Raise your fist in greeting to someone who hasn't dealt with the punches of childhood or those who have been beaten during 'spousal' abuse and you can either cause that person to have severe flashbacks, which can put them in the hospital or they may react to the fist and put you in the hospital.
Violence only begets violence.
During a time when we desperately need peace in the world, why would we want to incorporate a greeting that comes from a violent sport? No, everyone is NOT fist bumping. I prefer to greet those I consider my intimates and friends with an embrace. Others, I will greet with a handshake. If you feel you must refrain from germs passed during a handshake, keep your hand sanitizer handy or opt for a bowing of the head. Show yourself to be open and non-violent and spread warmth and caring along with a few germs.

When Ava was little she did suffer with a little bit of colic and I wish I knew about these bottles. Even though she no longer has colic I could see the difference in her from using the mam anti-colic bottle. I find with the current brand we use not matter what teat I use on them she can collapse them .Quite often she will get hiccups after a feed. I experienced non of this whilst using the mam anti-colic bottles.
The MAM bottle teat is called a Silk Teat it fits perfectly in your little ones mouth.I found that Ava dribbled a lot less of her feed whilst using the MAM silk teat. The ultra soft silk teat makes switching between breastfeeding and bottle feeding easy. The surface of the teat is silky soft and research has shown that 94% of babies accept the MAM Silk teat .These teats can also be purchased in a variety of different flow to suit your child's needs.
The bottle comes in four different sections. First of all you have the lid which is spill proof and also works as a measuring guide which becomes really handy when needing to measure water for the self sterilising method. secondly is the teat as explained above . Thirdly is the bottle section which has a wide open neck making it easy to clean and also make sure all the formula powder goes into the bottle. lastly is the base which is vented to help reduce colic and gives an even drinking experience that follows your little ones drinking rhythm. Research has shown thanks to the vented base 80% of babies experienced less colic related issues.
One function of the bottle that I really loved was the fact that they self sterilise meaning I only need to take one bottle out with me leaving more space in my changing bag for all the new food items I have to carry. As shown below it takes three simple steps to sterilise the bottles
The mam anti colic bottles shown above hold 160ml of fluid and come in a pack of three.They are priced between £11.00-£18.00 and are available in different colours. For more information about the Anti-colic bottles. Or any of the other MAM products then please visit their website . You can purchase these bottles and many of the other MAM products from Boots,Mothercare,Argos,Asda and I'm sure many other high street shops and also from the MAM website.
* The mam anti colic bottles shown above was sent to me for free. In return for an honest review all opinions are my own*

Afternoon friends. I hope you are having a great afternoon. Things are pretty quiet around here still.. :) I don't really feel like getting into all the details but last night.. and the night before were full of drama and problems. AGAIN. Last night Scott and I finally feel good.. we are talking and then the kids hit us again with a problem that knocks us out of our socks. I seriously think we ( husby and I ) are close to have a nervous breakdown. I seriously don't know what the hell is going on around here. Scott and I get our first calm and easy day in a long time...and then the kids go crazy..and the ex's start calling. Yea. Not so fun. Then to make matters even more interesting.. my phone dies....and my mom can't get a hold of me. By this point, the kids are in trouble.. I took all the electronics and phones away from them. So she's calling Brittany and cant get her. Then checks facebook and such.. no activity there.. so she sends me a message that says - You have 15 minutes to call me or I'm calling the police! - WHAT!?? Thankfully I signed on to facebook right after she sent that message and called right away. I was just hoping that I was in the time constraints! She giggled when I called and said " You know I have a wild imagination " and I couldn't get a hold of anyone. Thank goodness I made it in time or police officers would have been knocking at the door last night.
And then we got some insane weather last night too. Check out these pictures of a tree up lifted.
I thought we were going to loose our electricity last night but we didn't. It flickered on and off for a while but it actually stayed on for us. I worked on laundry all night and finally collapsed in bed much later than I should have. Today I have a lot to do and then we are heading off to the YMCA this evening. Scott and I are just hoping that today is the day that it will actually be calm. Fingers crossed. This summer has wore us all out emotionally. I'm not just talking about Scott and I either. The kids too. I think we all need the break of the school year to help focus us on something different and give us a fresh start. God knows we need it.
Anyway, I miss you guys! I haven't been able to blog that much with everything that has been going on.. but I will try to catch up with you guys more in the coming days! I hope you have a great Thursday!

Pierre Macquer
Pierre-Joseph Macquer (9 October 1718, Paris – 15 February 1784, Paris) was an influential French chemist.
Pierre-Joseph Macquer
Pierre-Joseph Macquer
|9 October 1718
|15 February 1784 (aged 65)
|Known for
|Dictionary of Chemistry
|Scientific career
|Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon
Guillaume-François Rouelle
|Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier
Geneviève Thiroux d'Arconville
He is known for his Dictionnaire de chymie (1766). He was also involved in practical applications, to medicine and industry, such as the French development of porcelain. He worked as a chemist in industries, such as the Manufacture de Sèvres or the Gobelins Manufactory.[1] He was an opponent of Lavoisier's theories. The scholar Phillipe Macquer was his brother.
In 1752 Macquer showed that the dye Prussian blue could be decomposed into an iron salt and a new acid (which eventually was named by others, after the dye, as Prussic acid, and eventually shown to be hydrogen cyanide).
In his 1749 Elemens de Chymie Theorique, Macquer builds on Geoffroy's 1718 affinity table, by devoting a whole chapter to the topic of chemical affinity:[2]
|All the experiments that have been hitherto carried out, and those that are still being daily performed, concur in proving that between different bodies, whether principles or compounds, there is an agreement, relation, affinity or attraction (if you will have it so), which disposes certain bodies to unite with one another, while with others they are unable to contract any union: it is this effect, whatever be its cause, which will help us to give a reason for all the phenomena furnished by chemistry, and to tie them together.
He became adjunct Chemist at the French Academy of Sciences the 5th of April 1745. He later became Associate Chemist in 1766 before being granted the permanent Chair of Chemistry in 1772.[3] In 1768, Macquer was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

What is The Abington Education Foundation?
Abington Education Foundation (AEF) is a volunteer non-profit 501(3)(c) organization that helps enhance, support, and enrich public education in Abington. We seek to promote innovative and productive programs that will challenge and enrich the students and teachers in our community. To make this all possible, we raise money for teacher grants.
What does AEF support?
Abington Education Foundation encourages applications that impact the classroom experience by bringing programs or innovative ideas to our students. AEF will not fund projects and/or materials that are usually funded by the School Department or PTO such as field trip busing. AEF may supplement funding that exceeds the funding of the PTO to provide our students with the best experiences and materials possible.
How much funding is available?
The number of grants and dollar amount for each grant is determined by the AEF Board and Committee Members, which is based off the success of fundraising efforts each year. (This is where the community support is vital!)
How do teachers apply for a grant?
At the start of the application process, the forms will be distributed to each school. AEF usually sends the forms out in the early with a closing deadline of June 1. At the September meeting, the board will review all grants and notify teachers of accepted grant proposals.
How can community members become involved with AEF?
The Abington Education Foundation meets the second Wednesday of the month (September -June). You can look for our meeting times on our Facebook page (Abington Education Foundation-AEF). If you are unable to attend a meeting, there are plenty of upcoming fundraising events to attend, which support our schools and grant funding. In addition to attending fundraising events, AEF is always in need of sponsors and/or donations to help with the fundraising events. Please reach out to AEF at firstname.lastname@example.com for further details on how you can assist the organization.
Sampling of the 2017-2018 Funded Grants:
- Arts Power
- Enrichment Buckets
- Time for Kids
- Wordwright Challenge 2017
- Social Emotional Learning Vocabulary Project

Weapons, Stick & Knife Fighting Classes in Phoenix, AZ
When it comes to defending against a knife, stick, or any weapon, there's nothing more important than focusing on the threat (weapon) and your ultimate priority (control or escape). Coach Jeremy's real-world, scenario-based weapons training courses, including stick and knife fighting classes in Phoenix, utilize practical techniques, pragmatic philosophies, and legal considerations to create effective and efficient uses of and defenses against knives, sticks, handguns, and other weapons. Originally from Los Angeles, where he served in the military police unit of the California State Military Reserve, Coach Jeremy brings stick and knife fighting classes to Phoenix with more than 25 years of training in a variety of martial arts, and a special focus on weapons for more than a decade. Moving from the traditional weapon systems, which he still teaches in practical forms, he now focuses on knife fighting, stick fighting, handgun defense, and other practical street weapon systems.
Contact Coach Jeremy
Coach Jeremy teaches private lessons, weapons workshops, and semi-private group stick and knife fighting classes in Phoenix.
Call 310-895-9927 or firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule an appointment.
Coach Jeremy's Knife & Weapons Defense Philosophy: Key Points
- Safe Word for family – they know when to run or hide (not a joke)
- Safety plan for home – what to do/not do, where to run, where to meet
- Technique drills – get used to perceiving the knife, stick or weapon
- Practice with various partners, environments, attacks, and knife or weapon types
- Test different defenses to determine what works best for you
- Full speed, 80% power sparring
- Adrenaline drills / Fear Inoculation training – watch knife clips, visualize scenarios, create fear, then spar with weapons
- Do not practice stopping after being cut/stabbed; practice keep fighting
General Awareness
- Be suspicious, without being paranoid.
- Never underestimate capacity for others' aggression.
- Never be naive.
- Watch the HANDS! Hands are where the weapons are.
- Know when heightened alert is necessary: extremely crowded or non-crowded
Exits/escape routes & Entrapments
- Weapon in hand when legal and/or reasonable
Preventing Attack
- Escape/run – Never fight a weapon unless absolutely no other choice; don't be a "tough guy"
- Yell for help; alert everyone to what is happening; create witnesses
- Look for weapons, shields, blinders, obstacles – ANYTHING you can use
- Become intimidating
- Be prepared to kill, to rise to level necessary for vicious defense without losing control – product of training
Defending Attack
- W.O.M.B.: Will, Opportunity, Mobility, Bodily Functions
- Priority: protect yourself first -- safe techniques for incurring least amount of damage
- FOCUS: on the weapon (first threat); all other threats are secondary
- Second Priority: Go for kill. -- never intend to simply submit/control. Only end at control when reasonably safe for you.
- FOCUS: once weapon is controlled, attack soft targets (throat, gut, groin, eyes)
- GOAL: Always aim to escape; if can't run, go for kill or control; if can run, do whatever is necessary to gain momentary advantage to escape
- LEGAL: Able to articulate reasonable use of force; do not continue to attack once in control.

Dating today has changed dramatically from the time our parents dated. In those days people met in church, libraries, grocers or were introduced by friends. Blind dates were very well liked and often unsuccessful. Today, dating has taken on the new and refreshing form. There are, I would venture to say, pluses in both strategies to meeting new people for potential dates. It is good to fulfill people in the flesh the first time since you reach look them eye to eye and if you're very observant, you observe gestures. You can determine if that individual is nervous, fearful, overly excited and perhaps, unfriendly or arrogant. The great thing about meeting people on the internet is you are able to live almost from any location but still meet and connect with fresh faces or you can meet people absolutely need city. In addition you be able to have conversations together prior to deciding to ever meet.
Well, marriage is merely locating a partner in life. One who could be a friend, somebody and a soulmate for the remainder of your life. If you proceed through Philippine online dating sites like, ,, ,,, and many other dating sites you will find profile pictures of numerous ladies who post personal descriptions, age and intentions of getting married. Some women even post the word "soon" or "right away". It may sound somewhat discomforting however, if you might be a man going online for your specific purpose then it narrows down your research in the colossal manner. Still, understanding someone that would like to got married 'right away', will truly take time. What are the reasons for this particular behavior or intention?
After you've experienced contact by e-mail for some time you might restrict your listing of potential wives to six, or one lady particularly may capture your heart. Skype and G-Talk are perfect means for getting to know your lady or ladies before you take a trip to Russia to satisfy her. Ask her plenty of questions regarding her life and her views; show your interest in her being a person, not just her figure.
12 Safety Tips for Traveling Abroad for Romance
An Update On Programs For foreign mail order brides When I was fourteen, I proceeded a faculty cruise to Leningrad where there was obviously a party of exchange students going you will find Sweden for a passing fancy ship. I sought out with one of them for around weekly and first realized the issues that can come from international dating. There would have been a slight language barrier, however it was fun getting over that. The real problem came, because I had preconceived ideas of the items Swedish girls were like, probably instilled in me after years of silly 'Carry On' films.
Get the Girl of Your Dreams – A Woman's Point of View
Generally people are not able to pick one up soul mates in their life which caused their life being purposeless. With an aimless life everything becomes dull and finally leads our life towards destruction. There it is essential need of everyone to get loved which if unsatisfied may spoil us from inside. Therefore we must connect individuals with common interests to find soul mates. In the beginning nobody is expert we learn so many things eventually, experience and knowledge. Moreover using the lack of understanding we perform a lot of things inappropriately which in exchange seems to become out of control causing many problems.
This might have kept a number of nice people like you faraway from many great dating opportunities. Online dating… A stigma you can forget… Online dating is not a social stigma any longer. Now it is a widespread, established means of dating used by all sorts of people, both conventional and radical thinkers, longing to have an expanded and pleasing self confidence. Why indulge into online dating? Because it involves a shorter time, less money plus a massive amount options to pick from.

Build a fantastic profile in social networks. Look for friends of friends, you may can spot your future girlfriend somewhere out there. Send out a pal request having a friendly message. That is always a good gesture. Meeting women online is significantly less hard mainly because it sounds, you can make contact. But, now you ask "how are you going to snag the kitty?"

If you need another idea on where you should grab women then you definitely should look into churches. Here you'll meet women which can be morally in-tune with their life and as an additional benefit, they cannot live greater hedonistic kind of lifestyle that so many women apparently do today. Of course, that isn't to say that ladies who attend church do not like to get a good time or party, they may be just like likely as anyone else being interested in having a good time.
Life presents us with many challenges however, there is the one which truly shines to be paramount. To live life fully and freely we will need to have the option where you can face our fears and overcome them. If we usually do not find our approach to carrying this out then our fears can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Fear of loss may be the main perpetrator of loss. Fear of not being loved is the main cause of not feeling loved.

ok ive got two problems with this security guard at the newt gingrich glitter party
1. how do you let a guy into your hotel meeting room with a bag? there could be a gun in that bag.
there could be a whip in that bag. (like indiana jones.)
there could be bin ladens head in that bag. (like indiana jones part 5)
and yes, there could be a cheese-it box full of asbestos-laced glitter.
2. the security guard outs himself from not being Of This Realm
because as he "holds" the elevator door, it continues to close on him
as if he was not even there.
this happens to vampires too, i understand,
which is why the "peace be with you" is equal parts creepy, sarcastic, and FORESHADOWING
and drink beer and sake all nite.
and open the freeway between my heart and my mouth
and just let everything out
(sounds gross but you know what i mean)
im hours away from a two week vacation. thirteen days, actually, of no responsibilities.
there are a few options:
i could declutter my home.
i could go on 13 dates with 13 people i meet on match.com
i could go to 13 different places of worship.
i could eat at 13 different taco trucks.
i could read 13 different books in my library.
i could see 13 different movies at 13 different movie palaces.
or i could pay $400 and travel around america on amtrak.
the truest is looking for a new career and i asked her to rail with me, but she politely declined.
errrything she does is polite. and even though last night she was on a roll saying no to me,
when i proposed the amtrak plan she stopped in her tracks and shyly smiled cuz she knew shed love it.
i had to run to her side of the table to hug her cuz it was so sweet.
went to bed early, came in to work early, but for the first time in my life i have writers block.
which means i'll probably only knock out three posts today.
i could write 13 short stories, so my man in west virginia has a book to give to his friends at christmas.
and i gotta say im a little stunned too.
this weekend i barely watched any hoops, instead i rooted for Vancouver over the SJ Sharks in playoff puck.
i had a great weekend. hope you did too. good food and fun on friday. good food and a god flick on saturday.
then sunday i curled up with the Good Book and did very little else on the day of rest.
im not very good at keeping anything holy, especially the Sabbath, but i think i did a pretty good job yesterday.
and yet today i am feeling a tad under the weather which worries me because I work today and tomorrow, then im off thru memorial day.
im thinking about having a staycation. but a working one.
ive been trying to de-clutter for quite a while.
i know its boring, but im really thinking about spending 4-5 hours a day putting things into three boxes: trash, keep, donate.
most of the keep stuff i want to put in storage just to see how much things like high school yearbooks and old rock posters cost to store away.
i also have way too many clothes. that are crappy. that i shouldnt be wearing any more. those need to go too.
then when the 5 hours is over, i will go to the movies.
i really loved seeing Thor with the truest this weekend.
very few girls let me hold their hand all day.
i like doing that.
odd future was at the troubabdour this friday the 13th
have i told you i love friday the thirteenths? do.
but yes its the same troubadour that prince played in on wednesday
so in this video you can get a taste of how small the place is.
back in the day people like elton john, david bowie, and the eagles started off there.
here they pulled off the impossible: making rebecca black's "friday" feel fun again.
black folk can do anything.
i feel like im assuming things. too many things.
i feel like im assuming that im not assuming so many things,
but im pretty sure if i tested that theory, my assumptions would probably be proven false.
we have a test kitchen at work. things are tested there before we put it in the paper.
if i ever had a house id want one room where things get tested.
the rest of the house errryone can go around assuming things,
but all bets are off in the testing room.
if things went well id want to expand the testing room so as to be able to create a vacuum.
for id like to test some crap in the vacuum from time to time, im assuming.
i would also like a hot tub.
and yet we avoid it.
we try to put it in a corner.
25 years after Spinal Tap, and dials still dont go to 11.
when was the last time you went to 11?
lemme tell you a few things about 11, 11 doesnt mean youre puking
it doesnt mean youre being dangerous or irresponsible.
in the movie, the musician was talking about an amplifier,
a quality device that could go "one louder" when he needed that extra kick.
so 11 is just the plus in a A+
buts a rock A+
i went to 11 like twice last month.
now im shootin for it twice a day.
doesnt always happen, but its fun trying.
ask anyone, im and old moldy washed up has been.
friday night i had a great meal and lovely mini afterparty at the 4100.
next day i slept till noon. wanna know how? cuz by some miracle i woke up at 5am
and took a leak. i know i know tmi, but listen its important, heres why.
if all your bod has to do is relax, it'll relax, but if its gotta hold in several shots of jameson,
not to mention the amaretto sour youve suddenly acquired a taste for
then you're not gonna be able to sleep past 9.
luckily around 5 my body was all yo you left the xbox on, your light is on, and youve gotta take care of some biz
and i did all of that in a quick minute and when i woke up at noon i felt like i had just won a great game of something.
did a little laundry, ate some delicious free ice cream in the Feliz
saw Thor, ate a spicy meal at Heartbreak Thai
and im still trying to figure out where to go on vacation.
since im so old ive been errrrywhere

The Department of Justice has 27 open investigations into "leaks," Attorney General Jeff Sessions told lawmakers today in Congressional testimony.
Sessions was answering a question about how his department investigates leaks to the media, specifically when it came to the names of Americans who had been "unmasked." When the names of Americans are swept up in U.S. National Security Agency surveillance operations, they are by policy redacted from intelligence reports, but can be "unmasked," or revealed, at the request of NSA officials or some other top U.S. government officials if the identity of the American is believed to inform the context of the communications.
Republicans have accused Obama administration officials of improperly unmasking individuals linked to President Donald Trump's campaign, like former White House National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, and leaking that information to the media for political purposes.
Later in the hearing, Sessions added that of the 27 leak investigation, some of them began before Trump took office and some after. With respect to potential prosecution of members of the press, Sessions said his department would respect the role of the press, but he believed members of the media were under the mistaken impression they had absolute rights to do some things they shouldn't. Sessions did not immediately clarify and a follow-up question on that subject has not been asked as of this report.
See the tweetstorm below for @CodeAndDagger for other highlights from the five-hour-plus hearing or watch the last four on ABC News' YouTube channel here.

Real Client Stories: Patricia
We first met Patricia while her husband was undergoing skin cancer surgery with Dr. Imola. And while those circumstances were definitely less than ideal, we're so glad that she found us! Patricia had been passively looking for an aesthetician for some time, but had not committed to anything. While her husband was in surgery, she walked upstairs to the Aesthetics by Design desk and booked her first appointment with Beryl, and, as she says her skin has been wonderful since.
"I look forward to my monthly appointments with Beryl, which usually involve small peels. I've had quite a few peels at this point. About once a year, I get a big one. The first one I had, I went into my appointment at 7am and then left my white face on for 7 hours – now that's a peel. It was the first time I'd ever undergone anything like that, and it was amazing. It got rid of my sun damage. I've also gotten cheek bone filler injections, after consulting with Beryl. That was fun because you get dramatic results. It's huge! I'm 70 years old and while gravity can certainly get you, I have very few wrinkles. Luckily, there is usually very little healing time with Beryl or the injectionist. My injections came with minimal bruising. Even deep peels don't put me down; I've never been hampered at any time by any treatment they have given me. I always leave Aesthetics by Design feeling rejuvenated, especially after a peel. But really, my monthly maintenance routine does most of the work. I love NIA products and use them regularly. Also, every time I go in for a treatment, I get a boost in collagen for firmer skin. The next thing I want to try is laser skin resurfacing! Beryl really thinks about her clients all the time, constantly looking out for new things to recommend and tailor to your specific needs. I especially appreciate that she'll tell me when something won't work. When I call to make my next appointment and the person on the line asks what it's for, I just say, 'Whatever Beryl wants!' That's how much I trust her. She's so capable, so professional. She knows everything, and she figures it out."

Over Thanksgiving, I roasted a TON of sweet potatoes, because we love them and of course there only two of us so roasting 5 sweet potatoes made perfect sense. **facepalm**
Anywho.. I searched the internet for something amazing to do with them and stumbled across Alton Brown's Sweet Potato Waffles..
And I immediately screwed around with this recipe.. I replaced the refined sugar with a natural sugar and replaced the white flour with 100% whole wheat flour..
oh and I made them pancakes.
By the way, you will not see any blow by blow photos.. it was early and I just didn't care enough to take them.
A few words of advice before you start.
- The batter is thick… I mean really thick.. I had to smoosh the batter out a bit on the griddle to thin it out. You must do this in order to not have gooey undercooked pancakes.
- Cook them low and slow. They will get dark on the outside. It's the nature of the pancake.
- Don't flip them until the edges look dry. Unlike regular pancakes, the middle won't get full of bubbles. The batter is too heavy, but the pancakes are not
- You need to know how to fold in egg whites. Don't know how? Go here
Also? Don't have buttermilk? Here are your options:
- Measure 1/2 cup yogurt into a measuring cup and add enough milk to get 1 1/2 cups.
- Measure 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice into a measuring cup and add enough milk to get 1 1/2 cups
- 1 cup mashed, cooked sweet potatoes
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (you could use white if you wanted)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs, divided (meaning separate the yolks from the whites)
- 1½ cups buttermilk (see notes)
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- chopped walnuts (optional)
- Measure flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder in a bowl
- Combine the mashed sweet potato, buttermilk, honey, egg yolks, butter, vanilla and beat until smooth (yes with your electric mixer)
- Beat the egg whites until stiff (use your whisk attachment on your electric mixer)
- Combine the mashed sweet potato mix with the flour mix and stir until just combined.
- Fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Cook by ¼ cup full (or so) on a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spread the batter out with a spatula or knife to even it out. If you want walnuts, now is the time to sprinkle some over the top.
- Flip only once, when edges look dry. They should poof up.
Measure ½ cup yogurt into a measuring cup and add enough milk to get 1½ cups.
Measure 1 and ½ tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice into a measuring cup and add enough milk to get 1½ cups

Over Christmas break I had a revelation. I'm not doing my kids any favors by paying for their electronics. Of course almost all kids now play on iPads, iPods, iPhones, Kindles and whatever else is out there. My kids have the goods too and they use them regularly.
When a bad grade strikes, or behavior isn't up to snuff, the electronic is the first thing to go.
But when I had my revelation I thought about how my kids have their electronics all the time. We have limits, but they never have to worry much about when they'll have their electronic again. For the phones, I pay for them monthly. Life doesn't work like this. There is no one paying for my car, my house, my phone or anything. Just being a nice person doesn't pay my bills.
And I want my kids to know how life works. If you want it, you work for it. If you don't make enough, you don't get it until you earn what you need to have it.
Which made me rethink my system. I decided all electronics had to be earned through grades and chores.
You earn days and when you don't earn enough, you don't get. Period. Or as my son would write, #thestruggleisreal.
I made a chart. Every child starts the week at zero. They can earn "days" with an "A" on a test or a quiz. They can earn partial days through helping with laundry and sweeping the floor. There are many ways to earn the days necessary to have their electronic for a week. Every week we are earning for the next week. So Sunday night I add up what they earned and they start over Monday morning.
My points system goes like this:
A on a test – electronic for 2 days (this is the gold standard)
A on a quiz or project – 1 day
All homework completed for 1 week – 1 day
Good behavior for the week – 1 day
Chores are all ¼ day, and 4 must be completed to earn a day
When the kids complete a chore, they fill out a sticky note and stick it to the chart. Sunday night, I check grades and go through the sticky notes. I award days for homework and good behavior if it was earned. If a child earns more than 7 days, they can "bank" the extra for a week they may not earn as much. Another good lesson for them - earn more than you need and you put it in the bank.
I then mark my chart. If they have to hand in their electronic for a day I let them pick what day to go without.
This system has worked marvelously. We had two children go without their electronics for a day already because they didn't earn enough time for the week. It was a lesson learned. It hasn't happened since.
There is no punishment. There is no "you lose this for a day"…it's all about what you earn. If you earn it, you get it.
Obviously if you are well behaved, do your work and help there should be no trouble earning what is necessary. This holds true in life as well.
I love to share what helps my house running smoothly, and this has been an eye opener for 2016. After all, we aren't raising kids. We're raising adults. And when my little munchkins go into the world I want them to know how it works.
I am not one to keep up a system long that requires me to work harder (adding up all the chores...keeping track of days...) but it was worth it to start off the year. I did this for a month, and I've seen my kids go from "ughhhh" when I need extra help to "yes mom..." And that was exactly what I was looking for when I implemented my system.

As most of you know, this past spring I graduated from the College of Charleston with majors in Studio Art and Business Administration. Charleston has been VERY good to me for the past 4 years and has provided me with a number of fantastic opportunities that very likely would not have been possible elsewhere. Its small, youthful, and encouraging arts community has made it a great city in which to come of age, to discover a calling, and to grow as an aspiring artist. In just three weeks I will be relocating to the DC area to attend graduate school at the University of Maryland, College Park, but before I say goodbye to this lovely city, I'd like to recognize some of the artists and arts organizations that have been most influential to my development while I've been here.
CofC Studio Art DepartmentAs a student, I've had the opportunity to work closely with some super cool, endlessly encouraging professors. Some of the most supportive and influential include...
encourager and motivator who knows how to do everything - always has a humble (and helpful) recommendation or two
non-stop sculptor and perserverant collaborator - will go to lengths for his students
click here to learn more about our collaborative project
studio manager and foundry extraordinaire - made me apply for an exhibition as punishment for leaving a mess
not your typical painting professor - an intellect and a source book for all things art
click here to see a blog post I wrote on one of Lily's shows
Local Arts Organizations
I've worked closely with the following organizations in a variety of ways...
known for its diverse exhibitions, subsidized studio space for artists, educational programming, and multidisciplinary approach to the dialogue between artists and audience - I have exhibited here as well as taught classes
click here to see previous blog posts about the classes I taught and the exhibition I was in
In addition to producing exhibitions, lectures, film series, publications, and a comprehensive (kick-ass) website, the Halsey serves as an extension of the undergraduate curricula at the College and as a cultural resource for the region - I have been a pseudo-intern, gallery attendant, helping hand, and research assistant here over the past 2 years - Director and curator, Mark Sloan, has served as my adviser and mentor this past year (he deserves a post all to his own)
click here to see images of my work in the Halsey
owned and operated by the city of Charleston - a venue for contemporary artwork that is new, vital and innovative, with a focus on broadening Charleston's arts outlook - host of the annual Contemporary Charleston exhibition, in which my work was included this year
