Willem Reuter's panoramic market scene is animated with multiple tableaus: a fallen cache of fragile crockery, a beggar accepting alms, and a commedia dell'arte performance, among many. Each event is legible, however, thanks to the artist's rigorous design: the vertically-oriented buildings provide stability to the composed figural groupings loosely arranged throughout the piazza from background to foreground. A strong raking light further clarifies the figures and their interactions.
Such carefully orchestrated compositions, in combination with colorful depictions of every-day life, were highly appreciated by aristocratic collectors in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Brussels-born Reuter lived among the Dutch and Flemish artists in Rome who specialized in making these picturesque subjects. Their paintings earned them the title of Bambocciati, or "ugly dolls," in reference to their ostensibly lowlife subjects.

A new website was required for Setley Ridge Vineyard to replace the outdated one. Having already designed the site for Setley Ridge Garden Centre Hayley and Paul wanted a design consistent for the two businesses. It was also important that the site showcased and linked to the other attractions at the Vineyards. Rebecca visited Hayley at Rosie Lea Kitchen on site to help get content for the new website. Matt later visited to take some photos to feature on the new website, and plans to be back near harvest time to snap some more of the grapes at their best!
It was important that the new website functioned well on all devices and was easy for Hayley to edit and update herself as the seasons move forwards.

When New York parents end their marriage or their relationship, one of the most difficult decisions they have to make is which parent is going to be the primary custodian of their child. On occasion, the court may choose to award joint custody. Another common resolution is for the court to assign legal custody to the parent deemed best suited to ensure the well-being of the child, and provide the other parent with regular visitation rights.
Sometimes the parents fail to agree on a child custody arrangement. This was the case recently in New York, where Olympic skier Bode Miller and the mother of his son were unable to agree to a shared parenting schedule at a Family Court conference. The judge said if the couple were unable to reach an agreement by April 7, she would schedule a hearing and take testimony from witnesses.
The mother has also alleged that Miller, who married another woman after his relationship with the mother ended, has paid no child support for their son. Miller's attorney disputed this allegation, saying that the parties were working on a child support agreement in a separate court proceeding in California, where Miller lives.
In earlier days, the courts used to follow the so-called "tender years doctrine," which generally meant the best interests of the child would be served by staying with the mother, at least during the initial years of the child's growth. This doctrine is no longer used, but the best interests of the child remains the standard.
Source: New York Daily News, "Bode Miller's custody battle with Sara McKenna over baby son still on as former couple can't reach agreement," Nathaniel Vinton, March 31, 2014.

'Dirty Dancing' grooves in Folsom
"Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage" is kicking off its North American tour at the Harris Center in Folsom.
The stage presentation is an evolution of the original story, which turned 30 this year. Seventeen-year-old Frances "Baby" Houseman is on vacation with her family in the Catskills, and becomes mesmerized by the racy dance moves she glimpses in the Kellerman's resort staff quarters. Her life changes forever when she becomes dance instructor Johnny Castle's leading lady.
There's more time, which means the summer of 1963 lasts a little longer. There's a lot more about Baby (Kaleigh Courts) and Johnny (Aaron Patrick Craven) and more about their parents.
The show runs Oct. 5-7.
Eleanor Bergstein, the screenwriter and co-producer of "Dirty Dancing" also was responsible for the stage adaptation. She wrote the play book, and has added 20 new scenes, 36 numbers of live music and an eight-piece orchestra.
Beloved songs from the movie such as "Hungry Eyes," "Do You Love Me?" and "(I've Had) The Time Of My Life" complete the show's live soundtrack, along with those iconic dance scenes: on the log, on the bridge, on the dance floor and in the resort staff quarters. Songs are performed by the orchestra or as live recordings.
The stage production has been running for more than 10 years, visiting four continents and more than 20 countries.
Johnny and Baby's relationship has had a lasting appeal because they learn from one another and become better, braver people.
But the story is also appealing because of its genuine celebration of dance, said Bergstein.
"I think everybody has a secret dancer inside them," Bergstein said.
Bergstein resisted bringing "Dirty Dancing" to the stage for 20 years because she thought it wasn't necessary. Bergstein's change of heart was inspired, in part, by a Bruce Springsteen concert she saw after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorists attacks that expressed hope and possibility during a fragile, uncertain time. The recent civil unrest is reminiscent of that in 1963, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.
"Suddenly the world has become, very much to my sorrow, like the world Baby was trying to change in '63," Bergstein said.
Bergstein remains modest about the success of the movie, which was given a cold reception before the public saw it. Bergstein heard one producer's advice was to "burn the negatives and take the insurance."
"We thought it would have about a week in the theater then go onto a video and disappear," she said. "I have fans of this movie now whose parents had not met and had sex yet when this movie came out."
Dirty Dancing
When: 7:30 p.m. Oct. 5; 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6 and 7.
Where: Harris Center for the Arts at Folsom Lake College, 10 College Pkwy, Folsom
Cost: $49-$79; Premium, $89. Friday matinee single tickets get 10 percent discount

Rustic, Outdoor Wedding at the Old Grove | Miami Wedding Photographer
Just one month after Hurricane Irma, Karina and Karlos were married in the beautiful gardens of the Old Grove in Homestead, Florida. Thank goodness they had minimal damage to the avocado grove, as the lush greenery and rustic charm was the perfect venue for their wedding day.
Karina and Karlos opted not to do a first look, but still wanted to say a prayer together before their ceremony. We arranged them to meet in the hotel lobby and we got to witness sweet moments as they squeezed each other's hands and spoke some words about their future. As if that wasn't magical enough, we dodged the rain just in time for their intimate reception with details planned by Jo Irigoyen Events.
Here are a few of my favorites from their October wedding:

My prosites registration page has changed, maybe from the plugin updates??
A few weeks ago, I used to have a two-page registration process, and after the registration was complete, a welcome message appeared for the new site user. They could then click on "wp admin" in the message to go the checkout with Paypal. Then, the last time I looked (a couple days ago), the registration changed to one page, which included the pricing tables. Today, there are no registration fields, only the pricing tables.
Can you please see what's going on with my setup? I am granting access.
Thanks, Joe.

There is a French television show called Plus Belle la Vie that Agnès and I watch some evenings together, sitting on her neatly arranged couch with our feet on the floor. The show is set in Marseille, the large port town just a 30-minute bus ride away from Aix, and features lots of tanned characters with dramatic relationships and secret dealing in the underground crime scene. The usual stuff of soap operas, I expect, but it's a pretty nice half hour that I spend with Agnès. I'd take any kind of connection with her at this point. Our time together, however, does not always go uninterrupted.
Agnès's son is named Jérôme. He is 13 years old and spends most of his time when he's not at school in his room, playing online games or doing homework. I've been living in this small apartment for weeks, and I've still barely spent any time in the same room with him. Jérôme opts not to eat at the kitchen table for dinner most of the time, which I had never heard of in a French household until now. When he decides that he is hungry or just wants an answer to a homework problem he can't solve, he shrieks Maman! Viens! in his shrill, pubescent voice. Mom! Come here!
And just like that, Agnès wordlessly gets up and goes. I stare after her every time, wondering why.

These are the most haunted places to spend the night in Wales
As an ancient land with myth, legend and mystery in its past, Wales has more than its fair share of ghostly goings-on. These are some of the best places in Wales to hear a hauntingly good ghost story. You may even see a spectre for yourself!
Craig y Nos Castle, Penycae, Powys
Truly a sleepover of the sinister variety, Craig y Nos Castle is known as the most haunted castle in Wales. It is the former estate of acclaimed 19th century opera singer, Adelina Patti - once one of the world's most famous women.
Serious ghost-hunters can test their stamina at one of the castle's overnight paranormal investigation events, where scientific tests and spiritual experiments are carried out throughout the night with the use of investigatory equipment. If the ghoulish activity becomes thirsty work, the castle's Cross Bar offers warming spirits of a different kind.
Prices: Overnight prices available by contacting the organisers
Brave enough to stay the night? You can stay at the castle on a bed and breakfast basis as part of the tour package.
The Ghost Walk of Tenby, Pembrokeshire
With witches, fairies, strange Pembrokeshire customs, omens, mysteries, murder and - yep, you guessed it - ghosts, this guided evening walk around the historic and atmospheric harbour town of Tenby is a light-hearted option for families and groups looking for some spooky storytelling.
Named by The Sunday Times as one of the top five ghost walks in Britain, the 90-minute walk is run by the popular and enthusiastic Guided Tours Wales company. Group walks start outside the Lifeboat Tavern in Tudor Square, running nightly until early November when only private walks are available.
Prices: Adults £6.00, children £3.50

Conwy, North Wales
This town may be small in size; but it is big on spooks. At the dramatic Conwy Castle, ghost hunters are said to have recorded a spectral voice from beyond the grave. Meanwhile, over at the Cadw-managed Elizabethan town house of Plas Mawr there are tragic tales of past inhabitants.
A haunted trip to the town should also take in the smallest house in Britain. Measuring 72 inches across, 122 inches high, the house has been declared too small for human habitation, but its current owner has reported strange smells and sightings when she opens it up for visitors.
Prices: Entry fees apply to some attractions
Brave enough to stay the night? Search for accommodation near Conwy
Llancaiach Fawr, Nelson, Caerphilly
Originally built in 1530, the walls of this Llancaiach Fawr a Grade 1 listed manor house hold centuries of secrets. The house has been restored and furnished to accurately reflect its Tudor heritage, but the authentic atmosphere goes far beyond that, with regular reports of strange experiences in every room of the house. Steel yourself for strong odours of violet, lavender and even roast beef.
Ghost tours of the venue include a 90-minute tour of the manor by candlelight to hear true stories of uncanny things that have happened to staff and visitors over the years. There are also family ghost tours suitable for children aged 12-15, a ghost tour with a meal option and a tour with a full paranormal guide and sensors to detect any uninvited guests.
Prices: Ghost tours start at £16.50 per person.
Brave enough to stay the night? Bryn Meadows Golf and Spa Hotel is an ideal place to unwind nearby after a tense evening.
Bodelwyddan Castle, Denbighshire
This 600 year-old castle's long and grisly history extends to numerous reports of hauntings including disembodied voices and mysterious knocks and bangs in the night. Guided by the castle's expert in-house paranormal team, ghost hunts take place from 9pm - 3am and can be booked as a private group event all year round.
For a less intense experience, which is more suitable for children, the castle also offers an evening ghost walk of the historic rooms using dowsing rods.
Prices: Ghost hunt – adults only, £43pp; ghost walks – adults £12, children (8+) £6
Brave enough to stay the night? The adults only Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel is just next door.
Llandaff Ghost Walk, Cardiff
Another haunted hotspot can be found in the heart of the Welsh capital in the 'city within a city' of Llandaff. Join this guided walk for mysterious, sad and terrifying true tales of a mournful white lady, seen for generations near the river and in the woodlands around the village.
Expect an atmospheric, walking storytelling event followed by a drink in one of the many cosy village pubs. Walks start at the large stone cross at the Cathedral Green in Llandaff.
Prices: £11 for the two hour walk

Skirrid Inn, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
Standing in the shadow of its mountainous namesake, the Skirrid Inn is one of the oldest and reputedly most haunted pubs in Wales. Formerly used as a courtroom, according to local legend more than 180 convicted felons were hanged from an oak beam over the staircase at the inn, and it is said their spirits can still be strongly felt and seen.
The pub hosts regular ghost hunting vigils and séances in small groups as well as leading ghostly experiments including glass divination, table tipping and ouija boards.
Prices: Ghost tours start from £49pp

Facebook is offering up a new frictionless sharing option: on Friday, the social networking giant announced "Photo Sync," a feature that lets you automatically upload every photo you take with your smartphone. You don't need to freak out. The feature is opt-in and the photos go into a private photo album that only you see. "When you want to share these photos, just pick and post your favorites," says Facebook.
Though there are privacy protections in place, there are a few reasons you might not want your mobile photo archive automatically put into Facebook's eager hands.
First off, more copies of your photos means more places you have to delete those photos. Facebook's offering is not novel. Apple and Google also offer this service. With "Photo Stream," Apple will sync all your photos across all your iDevices. And Google will automatically put smartphone photos into a private Google+ album; it promoted this feature in ads for Google+, with a sentimental dad expressing thanks to Google after his smartphone with his "only" photos of his newborn son was stolen (copies were in his mobile album on Google Plus -- Yay!).
Thanks to these helpful tech companies, your photos are starting to replicate like wet Gremlins. That means that when you want to delete a photo, you can't just do it on your smartphone, you have to remember and visit all the places it's now stored. It makes deletion that much harder. (My Android used to be synced with Google+, but I unlinked them after photos I deleted from my phone and from my private Google+ album continued to show up in personalized Google searches, like ghosts in the privacy machine.)
Having your photos in more places also creates more ways that your photos can leak. The most famous recent case of this involved a schoolteacher in Indiana. She took a racy photo with her iPhone and, thanks to Apple's Photo Stream, a copy was sent to her other iDevices, including her work-issued iPad which she let students use. They wound up getting an unexpected sex ed lesson from her. By creating a second stash of your smartphone photos on Facebook, you run the risk of their getting exposed if your Facebook account is compromised. And of course, you're putting them in a place where they're just one click away from becoming public. That might be fine if you're taking a photo of your dinner, but not if you're taking a photo of what you want your significant other to have for dessert.
As my colleague Tomio Geron points out, this is Facebook's move into becoming not just a sharing platform but a storage app. But I wonder whether people want to do their storage in a place with so few locks, that was originally designed for broadcasting and sharing.
Thirdly, as pointed out by many a blogger, while the photos will be uploaded to a private album, information from them will be available to Facebook. With the "immense amount of photo metadata Photo Sync will give it," Josh Constine at TechCrunch writes that "Facebook can pull out geolocation to help it figure out where you are now and what local business ads to show you."
"Now, all photos - good and bad - will be available to Facebook," writes Graham Cluley at Sophos. "That doesn't mean anyone apart from you and Facebook's servers will be able to see them, but there's clearly a reduction in your level of control."
Having a little friction around sharing is one of the better ways to protect your privacy, so think twice before automatically placing sensitive information in places where it can easily go public. As is often the case, the upside of a feature like this -- it makes sharing easier -- is also its potential downside.

Many of you will have heard of the near-fatal tragedy which befell the President of the free world yesterday afternoon as, watching American football, he took a few minutes rest from what was no doubt a long day of reading background briefing papers to prepare him for the week ahead.
I simply want to use this space to state the obvious; our thoughts, here in the UK, are with you Mr President. No doubt your able lieutenant, our Prime Minister, will have already conveyed our best wishes to you.
Indeed, there is no small concern over here for those adequates who must also be feeling rather shaken that, at a time when strong leadership is needed more than ever, the world nearly lost its leader. Although I can hardly dare to imagine the event, at least there is some small comfort in the fact that, had Our Leader died, he would have gone in an all-American way.
Get well soon, Mr President.

According to UNICEF, 26,500-30,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they "die quietly in some of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more invisible in death."
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.

More details released about Macon-Bibb firefighter accused of child molestation
A Macon-Bibb County firefighter jailed Wednesday on a child molestation charge is accused of inappropriately touching a 3-year-old girl in January, according to an arrest warrant released Thursday.
Jerald Lavel Giles, 41, of Oakland Hills Drive, was released on a $16,700 bond late Wednesday night, according to Bibb County jail records.
Fire Chief Marvin Riggins has said Giles is on administrative leave without pay pending further investigation of the circumstances of his arrest.
The girl's mother reported the alleged molestation to police Jan. 24 after her daughter became shy while taking a bath. The girl told her mother that Giles had touched her genital area with his hands, according to a Macon police report released Thursday.
The girl's mother told police she confronted Giles twice and that he denied touching the girl inappropriately, according to the report.
Phone messages left for Giles and Riggins were not returned Thursday afternoon.
Giles, hired by the fire department in 2004, was charged with criminal trespass and theft in 2009 on allegations that he tried to steal metal from a Lizella property where he had responded to a fire while working the previous night.
Prosecutors later dismissed the criminal trespass and theft charges.
Information from Telegraph archives was used in this report. To contact writer Amy Leigh Womack, call 744-4398.

|Secretary Sally Jewell
But this was no ordinary March afternoon. Just after two o'clock an SUV pulled up to the RMEF entrance and out stepped Secretary Sally Jewell, the head of the U.S. Department of the Interior, and a few of her staffers along with Montana Senator Jon Tester. Members of various wildlife and conservation organizations and sportsmen also arrived to take part in a roundtable discussion.
"I'm here with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation hearing about what's important to them, about the conservation of public lands, our management of the public lands for the long term health of wildlife as well as the people that live here and the people that come and recreate here," Jewell told a television reporter.
Though relatively small in stature, Jewell has a big influence regarding outdoor issues. Formerly the CEO of REI, Jewell is 11 months into the job as secretary of the Interior and fills one of 15 seats on President Obama's Cabinet.
Much of the roundtable discussion also focused on the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), a federal program that provides funds and matching grants to federal, state and local governments for the acquisition of easements to protect vital landscapes. LWCF was recently reallocated back into the president's latest budget proposal. RMEF has been and remains a staunch proponent of LWCF as it provides funding to help ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage.
Below are a few of the comments offered during the 60-minute discussion.
Secretary Jewell:
"It's heartening to see organizations like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation working with landowners."
"I appreciate the advocacy of this organization for the LWCF. Conservation easements kept a lot of ranchers ranching rather than turn their land over for development."
"We're in the forever business and you want us to be in the forever business."
"You're all probably elk hunters which I think is great. Fishermen and bird watchers are great. We all have to work together."
|David Allen welcoming participants
RMEF President/CEO David Allen:
"Our state agencies are at a critical point in terms of their fiscal health—certainly the western states are. It's extremely concerning. Our wildlife system crumbles if they're not healthy because state-based management is how it works."
"Access is one of our mission priorities but kind of the 800-pound gorilla in the room is the private landowner. If we're going to crack the code we have to consider the private landowner and work with them."
Secretary Jewell:
"Private land ownership and conservation can be done in harmony."
"Managing the lands for multiple use means it's the Bureau of Land Management's job to think about how the lands are used, how they're developed and how they're not developed."
"People have wanted to pay less to support government at every level for decades now. Running a federal agency that's cut and cut…you have to do less with less."
"There is a role for government especially in managing our landscapes and parks that will keep people keep coming back. LWCF is a good example. Support for your state folks is critical."
"Hunters and anglers, the fees you pay whether Pittman-Robertson or duck stamp or fishing licenses, those are critical monies to help the state fish and game departments to do the jobs they need to do. They need to hear from you when they've done something right and not just something wrong."
|Hunter education class at RMEF
Senator Jon Tester:
"We're going to need your help to keep LWCF in the president's budget."
"We need to think of some creative ways to hold a carrot out there to allow private landowners to allow access."
Secretary Jewell
"Generations of young people are increasingly urban and busy, tech-enabled and well-educated but they know little about the environment. They get very little time to roam. It's roaming in nature where kids learn about nature."
"If we want to have people that understand how nature works, you need an informed and engaged younger generation that not only cares but knows what to do because they've had exposure. 'Play-learn-serve-work' is a four-tier approach to make that happen. We want kids to learn in nature's classroom. What is an invasive weed? How can you tell the difference? Service enables kids to develop a connection to the land. One-hundred-thousand jobs on public lands in the next four years is our goal. A lot of biologists need to transfer their knowledge to young biologists."
Our thanks to Secretary Jewell for her service and for taking time to visit the RMEF.

Trout bum
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Trout bum is an affectionate nickname for dedicated trout anglers, particularly those who practice fly fishing. Use of the term is similar in tone and meaning to the antiquated term, "Surf Bum." The term was popularized by author John Gierach, whose first book, Trout Bum is an anthology of informal, narrative essays on flyfishing; and magazine articles he wrote before 1986.
The Norwegian film Trout Bum (2004) featuring André Brun, is the first fly fishing film on the subject, and has further popularized the term.
Fly Rod and Reel Magazine hosts an annual trout bum tournament dedicated to the pursuit of as many trout species as a two-man team of anglers can catch on a budget of only $500.[1]

I love sitting down with my sketchbook and working on new designs. It's so exciting when you have an idea and see it develop from a sketch (then two, then three, then four…!), then gradually into a pattern (then two, then three, then four…!), then a mocked up bag in calico and finally the finished product….! There are many changes and tweaks along the way but the whole process is incredibly satisfying, especially when you end up with a bag you love.
A lot goes into creating a new design, so I thought I'd share a photo of what my sewing table looks like when I'm mid-creation with all my musings and workings out.

If you sign up for this kit this month, you get LOVE BUG for FREE! I don't have a pic of that one, but if you go HERE you can see it! TOTALLY HIPPILIOUS!!!
I do have something to share, a card I made for today's Featured Stamper challenge on SCS! We're CASE'ing Miss BOO this week! Her cards are CAS and amazing, loved her gallery!
Here's my card based on THIS SWEET CARD by Miss Boo!
My card base is Pure Poppy by PTI. I stamped the oranaments from Merry and Bright in Pitch Black on white cardstock and mounted it on a piece of Sweet Blush. The ornaments were colored with Copics *and then heavily with Red stickels:)*
I stamped the sentiment and then cut it out with a circle punch. I loved Miss Boo's simple layout so this was a very fun card:)
Hope you enjoy your Sunday! I did, Billy and I spent the afternoon together and then went out to dinner, it was wonderful:) Now we're hangin out watching tv so I'll see ya later!

Unhealthy Credit? Jumping Into A Dangerous Car Loan Could Be Straightforward
Champs Auto Sales has the Used Vehicles stock you have been looking for at a price you can afford. Beyond that, Detroit seems to endure, and to have lengthy suffered, from dysfunctional leadership – not simply governmental management, but leadership throughout the board. This story becomes even more sophisticated since oblique dealers have the ability to supply decrease costs than the service owned stores because it is independently owned. Search the in depth stock of all the Legacy Motors Used Vehicles, financing that we offer at great costs, request a vehicle worth quote, view pictures and data concerning the Used Vehicles , Automobile Loans or find out about our Used Cars, financing that we at present have.
There are plenty of weak credit car dealerships in Oakland County, Michigan who will work with you. As talked about, this enterprise has a very heavy advertising and sales side to it, so without that have, you could not be capable to provide the strong figures that the Grasp Sellers and the carriers anticipate. We have seen loads of specific ethnic group dealers, such as Latino and Asian dealers succeed very nicely as a result of continuous movement of latest immigrants coming into Read more

If you have been following my work, I had posted a wedding card sometime back.
Wedding Card for Bihari Bride & Assamese Groom
Since it was situation where the Bride was from Bihar and Groom from Assam, I had tried to create an amalgamation of the two cultures. The card became very popular and I was repeatedly asked to make a complete Maithil version.
So here the groom is also dressed up in Maithil attire with traditional Red Dhoti (bottom) , Red Dopta (shawl) and Mor (traditional Headgear for Bridegroom in Mithila). Since rest of the elements were also prevalant in Maithil culture they remained same.
At the cost of repeating, mentioning the details of the card once again.
The design of the Card starts with the Blessings of Lord Ganesh on the top with symbolic Swastik amidst the sound of Shankh. The central part depicts the symbolic marriage where the Bride is dressed up in traditional Bihari finery with the style of drape of the embroidery Saree and the Groom also in traditional Maithil style with traditional Red Dhoti (bottom) , Red Dopta (shawl) and Mor (traditional Headgear for Bridegroom in Mithila). Lotus (Kamal) an auspicious symbol of prosperity is also present as a design in the Saree of the Bride. The bottom part of the Card is highlighted with the presence of auspicious wedding symbols in Mithila, Kalash with Mango Leaves and the auspicious Fish, symbol of growth of life. The border of top and bottom segment have the presence of Betel Leaves (Paan) and Areca Nut (Supari / Tamul) an auspicious symbol in Maithil weddings.
Although, Jaimala is not a traditional ritual in Mithila but I took this as a concept since it took place during the wedding of Ram and Sita in Mithila. And the ritual has become popular in recent times in Maithil weddings too.

We finally did it! Yesterday Sherry and I baked macarons yesterday, and they turned out beautifully.
We filled them with lemon curd and nutella, and kept half in the natural almond flour color, and made the other half a rosey pink color.
I've learned from past baking mistakes and I think I actually have this mastered.

Mental health is a sensitive subject, and there are still some skeptics who believe those who suffer emotionally simply need to toughen up. That's not the case, of course, which is why so many people are finding relief with a regular bullet journal mental health practice.
Many doctors, therapists, and coaches recommend journaling to their patients and clients who want greater self-understanding and emotional well-being. There are many ways to use bullet journal layouts and spreads for self-care and each one of them helps you in a different way. Discovering how to make a mental health bullet journal for yourself is going to help you to focus on feeling better.
The Bullet Journal Mental Health Connection
A bullet journal is a specific type of journal. It's almost like a to-do list with all the bullet points, so it's already helpful by taming the chaos of life's many details. You can keep other types of notes about your day. You can jot down what you must do, break down your goals into smaller pieces so you can meet them more easily, and you can even use it as a diary. It's yours, and you can do whatever you want with it. It's going to help you clear your mind, focus on getting healthier, and to live your life with more enjoyment.
Why a Bullet Journal is Good For Mental Health
Bipolar tendencies, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, stress related confusion, and paranoia are conditions that some people unfortunately may face at sometime in their lives. Since there are varying degrees of mental health issues and symptoms, check with your doctor or therapist regarding journaling as a treatment option. Especially if you want to stay away from chemicals or simply can't afford to pay for ongoing counseling or medication. Journaling may be an answer for your minor to moderate anxiety and mental health issues. Here are a few reasons why.
Root Out Problems to Fix Issues
When you journal, you will likely be doing it while experiencing anxiety or depression. This means your thoughts may be manic, fast, or very slow but emotional. As you write, you will likely start off with what you feel the problem is because that is the immediate issue in your mind. After a while, you may find yourself moving towards the root of the issue without even realizing it. This can help you find what the main problem is and fix it to prevent further mental health trouble or, at the very least, to reduce it.
An Outlet When You're Alone
All too often, we find that our depression or anxiety or other issues occur when we are alone. They may be in the middle of the night when no one is awake or during the day when friends and family are busy with their own lives and responsibilities. This makes journaling ideal. You can still get it out of your system — you're just talking to your journal instead of another human.
Figure Out Triggers
You know that you're depressed, anxious, stressed, or about to have a bipolar swing but you may not know what brought it on. Perplexing. Journaling can lead you to figure out your own emotional triggers, though. Writing allows you to pinpoint them, work through them by reviewing your journal entries, and finally to remove them. Once you can avoid those triggers, you can move into a better mental state and reduce further reactions.
Though journaling will not cure mental health issues, it can help reduce some of the symptoms that cause your day or life to derail. If you're experiencing increased stress and other concerning conditions, consider seeking care from a medical provider or mental health professional.
Mindfulness Bullet Journal Ideas
The art of being mindful takes practice. It doesn't happen overnight. The great news about being mindful, though, is you're focusing on being more present at any given moment so practice is built-in and on-going. One of the most popular ways to add mindfulness to your journal is to write down a certain number of "Mindful Moments" at the end of each day.
For example, you may choose to write down four moments each day when you were especially mindful. Perhaps you really noticed the way the roses in your garden smell and you took a few moments to appreciate their beauty. Maybe you really took a few moments to breathe deeply before you responded in a stressful situation, and it helped you remain calm and in control. Whatever it is, write it down. This serves as a reminder to be more mindful in each moment, which naturally boosts your overall mental health.

Gratitude Bullet Journal Ideas
A gratitude bullet journal section might seem unlikely to have an impact on your mental health, but it does have surprising power. Most people spend a great deal of time focusing on things that upset them. Their upset mood lasts a long time, and their happy moods seem to pass quickly. Why spend most of your time in a state of anger, only finding a few moments of happiness in between? Perhaps you are frustrated because of traffic and you don't join in to sing a silly song along with your child.
Maybe you are so focused on how mean someone was to you earlier you don't recognize how kind another stranger was. Gratitude journaling gives you an opportunity to spend time each day thinking about the things you're thankful for. You have no choice but to put aside whatever negativity you're feeling to find things that make you happy each day.
Each day, write down two or three things that make your life richer, or easier, or more fulfilled in some way. Some days this will be a stretch, but remember it's not always the big things you have to be grateful for. Sometimes it's nothing more than just the way someone smiles at you when you walk by on the sidewalk each morning. If that makes you happy, let it make you happy. Spending intentional time focusing on what makes you grateful takes the power away from the things that make you less than pleased.
This can help you improve your physical health, too. When you feel happier, you're more likely to work out. When you work out, you feel good about your health. When you feel good about your health, you might make better choices at mealtime. Perhaps you pass on dessert because you're feeling less stressed that day.
Free-Writing Bullet Journal Ideas
There is no right or wrong way to keep this journal, so let yourself be free to express yourself in whatever way you like. All you need to do is to spend a bit of time each day writing in it.
It can be lyrics you love from a song you heard. It can be a poem that touched you. It can be a rant about something someone did that really upset you or something amazing you hope for in the far-away future. Whatever you want to write about, you get to write about.
This kind of journaling makes it easier to get in touch with your true self by focusing on certain themes. What makes you happy? What seems to make you sad? You really get to know yourself when you write in a journal, and that's what makes it so beneficial to people who suffer from ordinary stress, anxiety and depression.
With or without therapy, keeping a journal is a powerful tool for getting to know yourself. There is no right or wrong way to feel, but you do know you may be able to change the way you think and feel by focusing on the good things. You can't control what happens in life, but you may be able to control your reaction to the things that happen to you in life. It's your power, and no one can take that from you.
Physical Activity Bullet Journal Trackers
So often people forget that physical activity affects mental health, too. Those who take care to exercise are more likely to have stronger immune systems, less stress, less anxiety, and a better quality of life. Physical activity decreases the production of stress hormones in the body while increasing the production of endorphins. Paying attention to your physical health allows you to improve your entire life. Not only are you more physically fit, your mind is sharper, your attitude is better, and you are less likely to be diagnosed with many diseases later in life.
Yoga Poses and Intentions Trackers
Practicing gentle and mindful yoga is a special kind of physical activity that calls in the mental and emotional aspects of you, too. Yoga will help you reduce stress, increase well-being, and to give you a feeling of peace.
A BuJo can remind you of how good you feel when you've spent some time on the mat, stretching and breathing your way to a greater sense of well-being. So, even when you're bone tired and ready to crawl into bed after dinner, flip through to that collection of new yoga poses you want to try. Or to a tracker showing your favorite flow that curiously relaxes and refreshes you at the end of the day. Maybe you have a list of yoga intentions in the goals planner section of your bullet journal that will inspire you. Experiment until you find the system that motivates you to practice.
Food Bullet Journal Trackers
A food journal is a wonderful way to start the journey to better mental and emotional health. A food journal is just what it sounds like. It's a journal in which you write down what you eat, what you're feeling, and everything in between. The key to succeeding in keeping a food journal is to leave nothing out. Did you have a sip of water this morning? Write it down. Did you have a glass of wine — or two — with dinner? Write it down.
At the end of each day, go over your journal and write down how you felt that day. Over time you might begin to see patterns in how you feel versus what you ate that day. It helps you make a conscious decision to stop eating or drinking a certain way if you feel anxious, sluggish, or depressed afterwards. Sometimes that's the best thing you can do for yourself.
It's all a trickle-down effect when it comes to journaling and your overall health. You might find you benefit from keeping more than one journal to break down your feelings, your meal plans, and your food.
You might also discover that you're better off with only one journal in which you keep all your information. It's a trial and error situation for most people. Do what works for you, make changes that work for you, and don't worry about what other people are doing with their journals.
Each of these ways of journaling can help you change your life and health. Let them help you along the way. When you're guided to making better decisions, you're going to like the way you feel about them. When you like the way you feel, you're going to continue making good decisions. All it takes is one step in the right direction.
Many bullet journaling bloggers cover mental health and self-care issues, in addition to productivity, so look around and you'll find someone you connect with. Marlena atA Pen and a Purpose has a PhD in psychology so you know she's legit. Also, I've been impressed with Channon Gray, who recently graduated from college in London. Young but wise, that Channon!

A total of 71% of adults will try to get their holiday shopping completed as early as possible this year with 34% of them saying they will start shopping over the Thanksgiving weekend (Friday through Sunday), according to a recent survey. On average, adults are expecting to spend $636 on holiday purchases with men spending a bit more ($677) verses women ($598) this holiday season.
According to the survey of adults commissioned by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), respondents said that they will make most of their holiday shopping purchases at a department store (44%) or discount store (20%) this year; followed by small specialty stores (9%), online (7%), catalogs (6%), and large specialty stores (5%). About 9% are undecided as to where they plan to do most of their holiday shopping.
Gift certificates/gift cards will be a popular gift this year, as 46% of those surveyed said they would purchase at least one as a gift.
Opinion Research Corporation conducted the survey on behalf of ICSC, during the period of Nov. 20-23. The telephone survey consisted of eight questions relating to consumers' projected holiday spending plans and featured a national sampling of 1,014 adults, 18 years and older. Margin of error is plus or minus 3%.Follow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

Community participation should engage not only interested stakeholders — nonprofits, advocates and local government leaders — but the homeless people who provide essential perspective for a fix. Homelessness will continue if we don't address the necessary preventive measures that make people more vulnerable. The National Homeless Coalition has been promoting this directive as homeless-led organizations partner with local governments. Some of these programs incorporate harm-reduction intervention that focus on acceptance to create continuum of care. "Regional cooperation" must focus on preventive strategies that incorporate affordable housing and health care, domestic violence, mental illness and addiction disorders. It has become clear that the housing-first paradigm must include partnerships to deliver accessible services that address these social issues. Engaging the faces behind homelessness have been critical to the success of providing lasting programs that mitigate these barriers. And unless they become integral members in these coalitions, groups and city programs, temporary fixes is all that can be had — the product of a failed 10 years initiative.

After more than a month in Vientiane, I have to admit that it's still the case that I've still only been able to find a scant handful of places that do good Lao food. Luckily I live literally around the corner from one that I, not to mention many locals, consider the best place in town.
Nang Kham Bang ('Ms Khambang'), or as the sign says, Khambang Lao Food Restaurant, is a third-generation family run place serving a relatively short but solid menu of Lao dishes. I've eaten here at least eight times now, both by myself and with others, and can say with confidence that the kitchen is consistent and service is also good, the latter a true rarity in Laos.
Just about everything here suggests quality, even down to the good-quality and perfectly steamed sticky rice:
The house dish is fish (pictured at the top of this post), in the form of a half or whole paa neua on (a type of freshwater fish) lightly seasoned and grilled. Mekong River fish is also featured in kaeng som paa, a sour fish-based tom yam-like soup with lots of dill, bai menglak (a basil-like herb), shallots and galangal:
They do an excellent sai ua:
a Lao-style sausage, often associated with Luang Prabang, that's less herbal than its similarly-named Thai counterpart. Other good meat dishes are a sublime grilled beef tongue:
very good laap:
including an excellent koy plaa (like laap, but made with larger chunks of freshwater fish), and jee sin lot:
strips of beef that have been grilled until charred then scraped of all the burnt bits and pounded until tender.
Other dishes worth ordering are or laam, a thick stew-like stew of beef or pork with lots of herbs and vegetables; a very good jaew mak len, a dip of grilled tomatoes; and I reckon their tam maak hung (som tam -- papaya salad), served here with tiny crispy tomatoes and even tinier freshwater shrimp, is the best version of the dish I've encountered yet in Laos.

you have been loved/
For the Son of Man has come to seek and save that which was lost.
Luke 19:10
Of my 23 years attending church almost every week, I would wager a guess that the single topic I've heard preached on the highest number of times is evangelism. And to some degree, this gives the topic its due: Jesus called His disciples "fishers of men," and more than once in the last days of his time on earth, he commanded them to spread the Gospel to all the nations of the earth.
However, it's not that difficult to swing many of the Bible's passages toward evangelism if you really try. And from my seat in the sanctuaries of many a call to evangelize, it sometimes seems we forget that the Bible isn't a handbook on spreading the Gospel - it IS the Gospel. And as such - as the living message of who God is and what He has done - it seems to me that we should be so impacted by it that we don't even need sermons on how or why to evangelize.
To seek and save
Last night I couldn't get in touch with my sister, whom I typically hear from by text or Facebook message multiple times a day. Despite the fact that she lives across the mountains from me, two and a half hours away, I usually have a pretty good handle on her routine and general whereabouts, and I knew that it wasn't normal not to hear from her after an hour . . . or two . . . or three.
Then I called her phone, and it went directly to voicemail.
Then I called my brother who lives near her and had him go check her apartment, and she wasn't there.
Then I let myself panic.
I was hours away, I had no way to contact her and I had no idea where she could possibly be.
It all turned out to be a miscommunication - I called my mom and she knew exactly where Hannah was and why she wasn't answering her phone. The information had just somehow missed Stephen and myself. I've never been so relieved in my life.
And it reminded me of the parables in Luke 15 - the stories of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son.
What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
Luke 15:4
The shepherd values and cares for his sheep as his life's work. The woman knows the worth of her ten silver coins, and would never be so wasteful as to let one go missing without searching it out. The father deeply loves his son, prodigal or not, and yearns to celebrate his return.
And I love my sister - so I would never have been able to rest without first making sure she was safe.
This is the Gospel of the Bible: that humanity, and every individual person therein, is so loved by our awesome God that He would spare no expense to seek and save the ones who are lost.
And having once been there, lost in the pitch-black night without a hope of finding our way, the light that God has flooded into our souls should leave us with no other response but to desperately seek those who are still out there in the dark.
But "shoulds" are a waste of breath. Yes, we should be evangelizing - as has been pounded into me (and probably you) hundreds of times. But if we speak only in shoulds, if we drive people to peddle the Gospel out of a sense of guilt or obligation, we've missed the point entirely.
If you have love
I wasn't inspired by guilt, obligation, or "should" to look for my sister. I love her.
And I can't be inspired by guilt, obligation, or "should" to share the Gospel - I must love the people that God loves.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
John 13:34-35
This is the harder message to preach. It's the harder motivation to nurture because it's so very unnatural to us - it demands the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, and it can't be accomplished by our own grit. It forces us into a state of dependency and vulnerability. It leaves us humbled at God's feet, desperate to be filled with the kind of love that can't be found within ourselves.
I can't speak for you, but in evaluating myself, I see that most of the time I purposely keep other people at arm's length. I purposely don't lay down my life in that risky vulnerable position. I purposely use a lot of self-powered busy-work ministry to make it look like I'm doing my part for the Great Commission, when really I'm running hard in the other direction.
I would much prefer evangelism to be all about the "should." I can do "should." I can accomplish a lot when I'm running on guilt, pride, and duty.
But what part did guilt, pride, or duty play in Christ's loving walk to the cross? None at all.
And that's the kicker. "Love one another, even as I have loved you."
By THIS all people will know that we are the disciples of Jesus.
Don't evangelize because you should. Instead, love - because you have been loved.

Four on the market: period homes in need of rescue
A choice of four period properties currently available to buy in need of some TLC.
9 Ranelagh Road, Ranelagh, D6
€575k DNG Central (01) 679 4088
It will take a lot of commitment (and money) to restore 9 Ranelagh Road to its former glory, and it's a listed building as well, which will complicate matters. But you'll end up with a three-storey-over-basement Georgian townhouse less than 100 metres from the Grand Canal. At present it's 2,178 sq ft in size, with a dining room and kitchen in the basement, two reception rooms at hall level, and six bedroom on the two floors above. The back garden, now very overgrown, is about 70 ft long and has vehicle access.
20 Belvedere Place, D1
AMV €375k Kelly Bradshaw Dalton (01) 804 0500
In 1853, Ephraim McDowel Cosgrave was reportedly born at 20 Belvedere Place, off Mountjoy Square in Dublin 1. He would go on to become a physician and a noted antiquarian. Number 20 has had mixed fortunes since then, and is now being auctioned (on December 10) as either an investment property or a potential family home. It's 2,847 sq ft on three floors with a basement, which is a one-bedroom flat at present. There are two good-sized rooms on each of the three floors above.
56 Palmerston Road, D6
€995k Sherry FitzGerald Rathmines (01) 496 6066
This late Victorian house in Rathmines was damaged by fire 15 years ago and now needs a complete restoration. It's a protected structure, and there are good bones to work with, with many period features. At hall level it has a drawing room and a dining room, while the garden level has a kitchen, family room (or spare bedroom) and bathroom. There are three bedrooms and another bathroom on the first floor, and an attic room above. Total floor area is 2,271 sq ft, and there's also a 77ft garden out the back.
45 Montpelier Pde, Monkstown
AMV €500k Lisney Dun Laoghaire (01) 280 6820
When the houses at Montpelier Parade in Monkstown, Co Dublin were built, at the very end of the 18th century, they had an uninterrupted view of the sea. Not now, although it's still a convenient spot for the coast, and only 500m from Seapoint DART station. Number 45 will be auctioned next Wednesday, December 2, and is all set to be refurbished. It's 2,725 sq ft and divided into four flats, but it has the makings of a grand seaside home with living rooms at hall level and basement and at least four bedrooms above.
