I bang on about website immediacy and usability. Not much chance of that changing. But it does so help when a site grabs you by the eyeballs and sucks you in to find more.
Regular porn downloaders will doubtless say 'Tell us something new.' One such site is that of Vincent Callebaut Architectures. at http://vincent.callebaut.org Instead of putting up his latest buildings, French architect Callebaut has a collection of his visionary projects. They include his entry for the Prague library competition.
But who cares whether they didn't get built. And who cares whether the commercial boys will label him wacky. It makes you a bit cheerful about the prospect of architecture not always being about on price, on budget and doing exactly what the QS and developer tell you.
I came across this site after a reader had alerted me to an issue of Inhabitat at http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/01/28/anti-smog-architecture-a-catalyst-for-cleaner-air-in-paris/
This is a sophisticated but quite earnest blog about emerging architectural trends which I'll look at soon. Callebaut's latest project, Anti-Smog Paris 200, appeared on a page which, at the time was advertising an AIA seminar on green gadgets. Green tends to be about larch siding, rammed earth and bike riding. Here for once was a rare combination of green and creative. There's hope for sustainability after all.

It has been a while since I've written a full article, shared tips, hijrah humor or general advice. Work as kept me preoccupied. Alhamdulillaah, I'm now on vacation and have a bit of time to share some of my experiences here in Abhaa. I pray that you benefit from and enjoy this word list and the stories behind the terms. Feel free to add tid bits or corrections in the comment section. Baarakallaahu feekum.
Word List #6
تحيفة taheefah is an informal term meaning جميلة jameelah: beautiful. Taheefah is only used here in Abhaa. Most everyone agrees that it is definitely a beautiful city – if not the most beautiful in all of Saudi Arabia.
كيف حالش – kayfa haalish, كيف حالس – kayfa haalis = كيف حالك kayfa haaluki (fem/sing). The women of Abhaa replace ك with س or ش. Men and boys are never addressed with kayfa haalis/haalish just as they are never addressed with "kayfa haaluki."
Local women and girls also profess their love for one another by saying أحبش uhibbush meaning uhibbuki – "I love you."
My employer sponsored a family outing to a مزرعة mazra'ah (farm) in Khamees Mushayt – about 35 minutes east of Abhaa. As the children played in a grassy field below, myself and a friend were delighted by tastey treats hanging from trees above, thus we helped ourselves… twice over.
While making our way past shrubs, fodder, dried herbage, orange and olive trees, we stumbled upon some قرع نبات – qara'a nabaat also known as الأسكواش al asakowaash meaning squash on the ground. The locals refer to squash as دبة dubbah. Dubbah is also a slang term meaning سمينة sameenah (corpulent). Spending a day away from the hustle and bustle of city life was such a calming experience for us. Even though we were beyond tired by day's end, we did not want to leave.
I'll show you around the farm and inside the farm house (which looks like a mansion over looking the Pacific from the outside) in my next post, In Shaa Allaah.
Often times when a favor is done unto a local, they'll supplicate for the one who was generous to them by saying الله خليك – Allaah khalleeka/khalleeki which means حفظك الله hafithakallaah/hafithakillaah, "may Allaah preserve you.Lammaamah – A (non-electrical) sweeper such as this one.
I learned lammaamah while visiting – Muslat – a small قرية qaryah (village) nestled in the mountains on the road to Taa-if. I remember using one while growing up. It brought back memories of days gone by.
We had a pleasant time cooking orange chicken in the sitting room's fireplace, climbing a five-story 300 year old home with stairsteps that seem to have been made for people of considerable height. We also enjoyed learning about Arab women of yesteryear. Funny…they used to compete in decorating their homes back then just as some women do today, but with an unusal (at least to me) twist. Their status in the community depended on how well they performed a certain odd job. Will tell you more in a seperate post, In Shaa Allaah.
مانيكير – Maaneekeer – Manicure. The locals also say "maaneekeer/maaneekyur" intending to mean طلاء الأظافر tilaa-ul athaafir = "nail polish."
مدفأة midfa-ah/مدفأ midfa' means heater. It's also referred to as دفاية daffaayah. Both have other meanings.
حدرة كلام Hadrah kalaam = كلام كثير kalaam katheer.
- Kalaam – speech, talk, talking, word(s), debate, conversation, discussion, dispute, etc.
- Katheer – a lot, much, etc.
I asked about the origin of "hadrah kalaam" as I was humored by the situation inwhich it was brought up. The sound made by a شلال shallaal (waterfall) is called "hadeer." The sound made by "kalaam katheer" resembles it, Wallaahu Aa'lam. I hope to get snapshots of "Wardatain" also known as "Waterfall Park" here in Abhaa, bi idhnillaah. Surprisingly, it's not too far from where I reside.
I'll try to share new vocab words on a bi-weekly basis, In Shaa Allaah. And with Allaah lies all success.
Umm Su'aad Haneefah
"The language which Allaah favoured was the Arabic language as He revealed His Noble Book in this (Arabic) and He made this the language of the seal of the Prophets, Muhammad – sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. And that is why we say that it is befitting for everyone who has the ability to learn Arabic – that they learn it, as it is the best language.'

It's the best damn time of the year.
Syfy's annual 31 Days of Halloween celebration kicks off this coming Saturday, and in addition to countless horror faves that will be playing during the marathon, the network just announced that five brand new original genre films will have their world premieres. The first one, airing on Saturday, October 1st, is titled The Crooked Man and is based on the very same nursery rhyme that inspired one of The Conjuring 2's most memorable sequences; and that's just the tippy top of this spooky iceberg.
Check out full details below!
The scare is everywhere during Syfy's "31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN"! All October, the network will unleash a mix of spooky Syfy originals and nightmare-inducing horror movies in a cross-platform celebration of the most wickedly wonderful time of the year.
The 2016 "31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN" highlights include the premiere of Syfy's original anthology series "CHANNEL ZERO: CANDLE COVE" on Tuesday, October 11, at 9/8c. Based on a popular "creepypasta" story shared on the internet, viewers will want to keep their nightlights on for this chilling tale.
The spook-a-thon also features the Syfy movie premieres of horror favorites Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Zombieland, The Strangers, The Cabin in the Woods, Wrong Turn, Maleficent, I, Frankenstein, and Drag Me to Hell.
Additionally, audiences will discover new scares with five original Syfy fright films airing Saturday nights, including THE CROOKED MAN, STAKE LAND 2, and THE NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN. New episodes of "VAN HELSING," "AFTERMATH," and "Z NATION" will also continue to air throughout the month.
To accompany this terrifying cache of programming, Syfy will feature blood-curdling Halloween lore, as well as horror movie trivia on air throughout the month. The network will also plunge viewers into the middle of the action at Universal Studios' "Halloween Horror Nights" with on-the-ground fan interviews. Syfy.com and its editorial arm, Blastr.com, will offer a veritable Halloween editorial graveyard with daily Top 13 lists, party tips to make your guests scream, and horror trope bingo cards, along with interviews with genre insiders. On the network's social channels, viewers will be asked to submit their best costumes, screams, and holiday décor – and the most frightening entries will be featured on-air and on Syfy's official Snapchat and Instagram Stories of the Week.
On Halloween itself, Monday, October 31, at 7/6c, fans can celebrate the holiday with Syfy's social team as they take them inside the New York City Greenwich Village Halloween Parade on Snapchat, Instagram, and Twitter.
Original programming airing as part of Syfy's "31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN" includes:
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, at 9/8c – THE CROOKED MAN
Original Syfy Movie Starring Michael Jai White (Spawn) and Amber Benson ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") – Singing a nursery rhyme summons a demonic figure known as Crooked Man. Once you sing the rhyme, everyone in the house is cursed to die by his hands.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, at 9/8c – DAY OF RECKONING
Original Syfy Movie – Some years ago, the world experienced a "day of reckoning" when creatures came up from below and purged humanity of evil… now, it is happening again.
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11, at 9/8c – "CHANNEL ZERO: CANDLE COVE"
Syfy Original Anthology Series – "CANDLE COVE" centers on one man's obsessive recollections of a mysterious children's television program from the 1980s and his ever-growing suspicions about the role it might have played in a series of nightmarish and deadly events. From Universal Cable Productions (UCP), "CHANNEL ZERO: CANDLE COVE" is from showrunner and executive producer Nick Antosca ("Hannibal," "Teen Wolf"), who wrote the CHANNEL ZERO pilot, and Max Landis (Chronicle, American Ultra). The six-part anthology series will continue on Tuesdays at 9/8c through November 22.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15 at 9/8c – STAKE LAND 2

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29 at 9/8c – THE NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN
Original Syfy Movie Starring Bailee Madison ("The Fosters," "Good Witch") and Anthony Lemke ("Dark Matter," American Psycho) – When a Halloween prank goes wrong, it unleashes a creature that will hunt each of the participants down and kill them, unless they can figure out how to transfer the curse to someone else.

We often meet people that after hearing we have been traveling for so long – almost 19 months now – express how terribly jealous they are of our life style and how they would love to do the same forgetting about everything else. Our answer to them is simply: "What are you waiting for? Just do it!"
People like to find so many reasons not to travel, we were exactly the same before dropping everything, packing our backpacks and – even if a bit scared of what was expecting us – left for this still ongoing trip. After doing it ourselves, we feel like we can give you some tips and encouragement so that perhaps you too can finally travel the world and live that life that you always dreamt about, no matter how long for and if by yourself or with somebody else.
No Need to Win the Lottery
We aren't rich, we didn't win any millionaire jackpot (and never really tried to), which means you can find the way too. You don't need a lot of money to enjoy your trip, even though having endless cash will help for sure. There are many ways to save money before getting on the road and many ways to still enjoy yourself whilst watching your savings by being a bit more budget friendly. For instance there are many alternatives to expensive hotels that will save you money and will make your experience more real and close to the locals, Couchsurfing is one of them. Also using public transport or, even better, walking instead of calling a taxi not only will save you some pennies but we'll make you see places you'll never would otherwise.
My point is that there is always a way to save money before and whilst you are travelling, it depends all on you, on how badly you want this experience, that should motivate you enough and help you to find the way.
You Can Do It Without Mummy
I'm not going to lie to you on this one, we constantly miss the people we love and we left behind, in actual fact since we've been travelling we learnt to appreciate our loved ones more than ever, but this shouldn't stop you from travelling. Don't use it as another excuse, your family and friends will understand why you are doing it and most likely will support you too. Plus communication nowadays is super easy and almost instantaneous that you won't need to send a pigeon to stay in touch 🙂
My family and some of my friends were very surprised when I told them I quit my job and sold everything to travel the world, but with time they understood and accepted my choice fully, they know these kind of experiences don't happen everyday and I should really make the most of it.
Employers Will Never Look at Me the Same Way
You are scared that when your adventure finishes it will be hard to get a job, to explain that you've been away for so long and you're ready to get back into work. Maybe many people will think you simply wanted to enjoy yourself, but the smartest ones will appreciate first your courage for leaving everything to follow your dream, then the new skills you picked up whilst travelling and how you have changed and matured (hopefully).
I cannot guarantee on this one because I still have to get there, I'm not sure what I want to be when this trip will end but I talk based on other travellers' experiences and on my faith that people will see how important gaining different experiences and learning to deal with them is.
The Fear of Travelling Solo
I always had the desire to travel, after I lived for a while in the same place I felt closed in a box and I needed a change. I did my little short trips here and there but never really thought of setting off long term because I was kind of scared of doing it by myself and also because I enjoy sharing the good and bad moments with a travel companion. I have been very lucky I met Dale who followed my craziness and he is a fantastic travel partner, but if you cannot find that someone, don't make my mistake. There are plenty of solo travellers out there that can prove you wrong and, looking at the bright side, you'll meet so many people whilst travelling and perhaps your perfect travel companion too, who knows?
How Will I Manage Without My Favourite Food?
There are plenty of meals, delicatessen and foods from home I miss whilst travelling, so many things I was used to eating that I have to do without – Marmite for instance – but it's not that bad overall. In fact it opened my mind and my tummy more to try local and new food, to be more adventurous when it comes to ordering something from a menu I don't fully understand.
Don't use this as another reason to put you off traveling and remember that if you are that desperate to have some comfort food from home in a foreign country, there are always Italian, American, Spanish, Mexican, Chinese and more restaurants everywhere nowadays. It's not what I do, in fact the local cuisine is usually my choice no matter what, but that option is there for you.
Not Speaking Another Language
Not speaking the local language can be very challenging but there is no need to be afraid of it. It's true that in most parts of the world people will understand and probably speak English, but that shouldn't make you expect it. There is always the body language, you can use your hands (like us Italians do so well 🙂 ), your facial expressions, you can draw a little sketch if necessary but you'll find the way to communicate for sure. When you find yourself in certain situations, like it happened to myself, I'm sure you will make an effort and explain yourself no matter how.
Being Scared of the Unknown
Not knowing what will be waiting for you, who you will meet, what you will have to be dealing with can be very frightening for many people to a point that can be a good enough reason to dissuade them to travel all together. It's very normal to feel that way, I was afraid too, again though it shouldn't stop you from make that first flight that you want to book so badly. It's natural to be scared of leaving the comfort zone for who knows what in exchange, but it's very exciting at the same time too and it can get you (be sure that it will) so much more than you would by staying at home and doing exactly the same things every week.
I'm not an expert or a physiologist, I believe everybody makes their own destiny and choose to be what he or she really wants to, I don't want to push you into something that it isn't for you, even though until you try it you'll never really now if you will or not.
I simply think that if, like me, you always wanted to travel more and experience the enormousness of things out there, don't let any of your fear stop you. If your eagerness and enthusiasm for travel isn't fake, STOP finding excuses and finally book that first ticket.
So, which will be your first destination?

Lets be honest no couple has vast amounts of finance available to them for their wedding, so they need to be creative and clever about how and where they spend their money. When it comes to styling couples need to think outside the box and come up with alternative ways to decorate their venue!
This is where the ordinary and everyday tin can comes in!! There are so many ways that this simple item can be up-cycled into a fun and interesting piece for your wedding. Go on, have fun and give it a go!!

Business Studies
Business Studies provides students with knowledge of how the world of business operates. In addition to knowing how to deal with finance, marketing, production and the human resource functions, students also look at how business operates with regard to central and local government, the EU and the importance of international trade. Business Studies is a subject requiring imagination, together with a creative and inquisitive mind. Business decisions are often open-ended; there may be more than one way of approaching problems. Students investigate, analyse and interpret results in order to draw balanced conclusions.
The Business Studies Department offers GCSE Business Studies at KS4 and the BTEC Level 3 Extended National Diploma at Sixth Form.
Grouping and Setting
Business is taught in mixed ability classes at KS4 and KS5. Business is an option subject for GCSE.
Students complete an interim and landmark assessment every half term. Students are given feedback on their work based on both of these assessments and complete improvement prompts based on these, ensuring that they know how to improve their work.
The Business Studies Department ensures that students gain practical experience of the business world, through industrial visits. Visits in the past have included Coca Cola and Thorpe Park. In the Sixth Form we offer a variety of clubs introducing the Student Investor Challenge.

Ohio community seeks clues, fights fear after 6 women vanish
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The fate of six women — four of them dead, two missing for months — has people on edge in this small southern Ohio city as relatives seek clues, seemingly in vain, to whatever happened to their loved ones.
Grieving family members and nervous residents worry about a serial killer in their midst. Police say they aren't ruling anything out, but say it's more likely the women's troubled histories caught up with them in deadly ways. All were drug addicts and several had prostituted themselves to feed their habit.
Police also say that because the women ran in the same circles, someone knows the fuller story.
"There's that one person out there that has the information that's going to break this case. We know that, we just have to get to them," said Chillicothe police Officer Bud Lytle.
Charlotte Trego, who would be 28, has been gone the longest, missing since her mother dropped her off at an apartment in Chillicothe in early May 2014. She was into drugs and may have turned to prostitution to support her habit, said her mother, Yvonne Boggs.
"She wouldn't go this long without calling me," said Boggs, of Waverly, about 15 miles farther south on U.S. 23.
Tameka Lynch, 30, disappeared a couple of weeks later. Her body was found on a sandbar in Paint Creek by a group of kayakers on May 24, 2014, four days after the coroner says she likely died.
Lynch was scared of water and wouldn't willingly have gone anywhere near a river, said her mother, Angela Robinson. She described her daughter, a mother of three, as a beautiful but naive person who was too trusting.
"Somebody just tossed her away like a piece of trash," Robinson said.
The body of Shasta Himelrick, last seen on surveillance video leaving a gas station early on the morning of Dec. 26, was found in the Scioto River on Jan. 2. She was pregnant and had traces of painkillers and cocaine in her system. The coroner ruled her death a suicide.
Timberly Claytor, 38, was found shot to death in nearby Massieville on May 29. A suspect in her death is in custody on unrelated charges.
The body of 26-year-old Tiffany Sayre, missing since early May, was found in neighboring Highland County on June 27 not far from where Lynch's body was recovered. A cause of death hasn't been announced. She had been hanging out earlier in the evening with men at a Chillicothe motel that has a reputation as a site for prostitution.
Police are still looking for Wanda Lemons, 38, a mother of five, missing since last fall. She was a kind person whom people took advantage of, said her mother, Diana Willett.
The deaths and disappearances have spurred the creation of a task force including Chillicothe police and the Ross County Sheriff's Office, the FBI, state investigators and other local law enforcement.
Nineteen people died of heroin overdoses in Chillicothe and surrounding Ross County last year, up from eight the year before. One in three people receiving addictions treatment in the county are on heroin. The most recent statewide data shows a record 983 Ohioans died of heroin-related overdoses in 2013.
Police recently announced a crackdown on drugs and prostitution in areas the women frequented. An online petition and Facebook page call for the closing of the motel Sayre had visited.
Chillicothe residents say they are locking doors more, are hesitant to go out at night and aren't allowing daughters to walk alone.

Sleeping tips will blow your mind. Sleeping is the time when your body heals itself. It also steps up its production of antibodies if you are coming down with an illness and works harder to heal injuries than when you are awake. It will also help prevent you from getting illnesses, especially the colds and coughs that circulate through the population during the winter time. Sleeping tips make you healthier in general, and a healthier person is less susceptible to catching diseases. Combined with exercise and a healthy diet, you can improve sleeping tips that is the key to a healthy lifestyle.
Sleeping Tips for Better Health
If you want to improve sleep for better health, you need to give sleep the importance that it so rightly deserves. This might mean falling asleep on the couch with the television blaring or dozing off at the office or on the train home. It can also mean hitting the snooze button over and over again because we can't seem to manage to get ourselves out of bed. None of these practices are good for healthy sleep.
Instead, you need to create a room, generally your bedroom, which is designed only for sleep and keep it that way. This room should be peaceful and soothing. Your bed should be at the center of this room. Your bed should be comfortable and inviting. However, you should only go to it and when it's time to sleep. Keep it full of pillows and comfy quilts or duvets. Take all the distractions out of your room, especially the computer and the television. Only allow soft music to be played and eliminate sources of harsh light. Converting your bedroom into a haven of peace will improve sleep and give you better health.
Facts About Sleeping Tips
You should find that after a few weeks of better sleep you will feel fitter. You should have more energy, even in the morning, and may even be able to give up your usual cup of coffee. If you exercise, you should be able to run longer or lift more weights. You should also note a difference in your ability to concentrate on mental tasks. Over the long run, you should find yourself staying healthy even when people around you are getting the seasonal flu. You may even notice a difference in your allergies. If you do get sick, sleep will help you to heal faster. It also helps you to heal faster from injuries. There is almost nothing better you can do for yourself: improve sleep and get better health.
Sleeping Tips: 10 Great Ways to Improve Sleep
Adults need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Without it, you can wake up irritable, tired, memory problems, and headaches. Also, you can fall asleep during the day and have a lot of micro sleeps (when the body loses concentration for fractions of a second). The body needs rest to feel replenished and healthy. It is also important to have sleep to improve immune, brain functions, and to produce growth hormones.
Long-Term Lack of Sleep: key
If you don't get enough rest in the long term you can develop depression, irritability, stress, anxiety or obesity which are all serious illnesses. In someone's lifetime, up to 30% of our day is spent on sleep. It is essential to have enough quality sleep during the nights.
Sleeping Tips: 10 Strategies to Improve Sleep
- Taking a warm bath improves sleep. Your bodies temperature also influence the way you sleep. Take a warm bath a few hours before bed so you can feel good. Then when you go to bed your temperature will slightly drop and induce sleep.
- No medications for sleep and that include alcohol. Sleeping pills and alcohol can worsen someone's sleep patterns, and they can have sleep deprivation, headaches, and memory problems. Long-term use of medications can cause insomnia.
- Try meditation to induce sleep. Yoga or meditation exercises can help relax the body. Relaxation can promote healthy sleep.
- Buy a good quality bed mattress. The best mattresses have custom firm levels that really help someone fall asleep. The bed also has to be big enough so someone can move in bed at ease. If you share your bed with a partner, a large bed is a must. Second-hand beds are the worst as they contain dust mites, and are worn out.
- Working out earlier before bed. If you finish your workout 10 minutes before sleep, you'll be awake half the night. After a workout, you will feed very active and not be able to sleep. So finish your workouts a few hours before bedtime.
- Paint your bedroom. When you can use different colored paints to build a good atmosphere you can fall asleep faster. You can try to use your favorite colors so you can enjoy being in your bedroom.
- Dim the bedroom lights. When you have bright glaring lights it can affect your mood. Lights stimulate your body in different ways so bright lights are bad for sleep. If you read, you can try a low light table lamp.
- Free up space in your bedroom. If your room is cluttered it will make you feel confined by your items. Stuff like televisions, workout equipment, and large obstructing items can clutter your bedroom. So remove them to free up space.
- No pets in your bedroom. Pets can keep you awake because they are constantly surrounding you. People with allergies can be affected by their pet, and they can have nausea, nasal congestion, and snoring.
- Avoid bad snacks prior to bedtime. Some people have a big craving for high-calorie foods before they sleep. It is strange because this habit creates obesity, and sleep disorders. Eating bad snacks before bed will affect your sleep quality. Stick to fruits an hour before bedtime. Bananas and apples are great healthy snacks.
How to Improve Sleeping Habits
Why improving sleeping habits are so important…
Research suggests that on average most adults need between 7 – 9 hours sleep a night in order to function to the best of their ability. Unfortunately, the reality is that with increasingly stressful, busy schedules we often don't get the optimal amount of sleep. There are many things that may prevent us from getting a good night's sleep, in my case it is a chronic spinal pain, but other issues such as stress and anxiety have a major impact on how well we sleep.
Lack of sleep can cause various problems and hinder our everyday lives. Issues caused by lack of sleep can include; a lack of motivation, reduced the ability to cope with stress, increased frustration and moodiness, difficulty concentrating, memory impairment and a lowered immune system, making you more prone to illness. These are to name but a few of the results of lack of sleep.
Sleeping Tips: My story…
I am 28 years young and have been diagnosed with chronic spinal pain syndrome. In short, that means, I am in pain most of the day, every day. My main problem is lack of sleep, I find it extremely difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. I have tried various medications, acupuncture, and physiotherapy. Many of these have not solved my issues with sleep and all of the pills I have tried have left me feeling groggy and nauseous. I often feel frustrated, upset and above all else, knackered! I frequently fall into the dangerous trap of 'clock watching' where I get increasingly anxious as the hours disappear, resulting in even more frustration and the inability to get to sleep.
Don't worry – it's not all doom and gloom! I have found an answer!
My eyes have been opened to the importance of a good night's sleep and just how much difference simple, easy tasks can make. The following are to name but a few;
10 Easy to Follow Tips for Improving Sleep
- Try engaging in a bedtime routine to let your body know it's time for sleep.
- Get up at the same time every morning – this helps to regulate your body clock.
- Exercise can help to deepen sleep, however, it should not be done too close to bedtime.
- Keep your room at a moderate temperature as excessive heat can disturb sleep
- Try to avoid drinks that include caffeine, such as coffee and alcohol in the evenings, this act as stimulants.
- If you smoke then be aware that tobacco can affect sleep, try not to smoke for at least an hour before bedtime.
- Try to make time earlier in the evening to work through any thoughts about your day, or any plans for the next day – do not take your problems to bed.
- If you do not fall asleep quickly then do not lie in bed becoming increasingly frustrated. Get up and does something else until you feel sleepy, e.g. reading a book, listening to relaxing music.
- If you are a 'clock watcher' like me then tries moving your clock to a place where you are less likely to be checking it every few minutes.
- Only use the bedroom for sleeping and sex – watching TV, using a computer or eating in the bedroom, for example, can all lead to sleep disturbance.

text: For this blog it was so hard for me to narrow down which photos to use! (I apologize for an overflow of pics...) But this wedding was just so beautiful and sweet! First of all, I shot Brittany and Zach's engagement pictures back in the fall and before hand they had told me they struggled with getting good pictures because they felt awkward and thought they weren't photogenic...SO FALSE! You two were so sweet and genuine in front of the camera and that always makes for the best pics! The wedding was at Sandy Creek Barn right on the water of Lake Oconee, in the evening, so of coarse it was a beautiful setting. And all the details of the wedding tied together so wonderfully. Everything from the venue, to the koosies with the bass on them, to the margarita bar the guests hit up on the way to the CEREMONY (Such an genius idea!), to the AMAZING flowers (gosh, they were beautiful), to the band and the party people!! (they had some really fun family and guests) The mother of the bride told me they were going for, "casually elegant" and I think it was a success! It was such a fun laid back atmosphere but Brittany and Zach looked stunning and so did the rest of the bridal party. Which consisted of her two sisters as her bridesmaids and Brittany and Zach's brothers as the groomsmen. It was so sweet to see a smaller bridal party made up of just family! I hope one day my daughter has a sister and has the close relationship Brittany and her sisters have. Thank you guys for allowing me to be a part of such a special day and for giving me a glimpse of what a close loving family can grow to be! Brittany and Zach, congratulations! Your wedding was a success and you are married!! Enjoy everyday together! 3 Comments

Copenhagen calling
The UN climate conference in Copenhagen in December 2009 presents a crucial opportunity for global leaders to lay the framework for a low carbon economy. Despite delays and challenges in the final stages of the negotiations, pledges from many of the world's largest economies in the immediate run up to the event have added new momentum to the Copenhagen process. The priority now is to convert these into an ambitious global deal, with the appropriate mechanism and adequate funding to deliver it. There is mounting scientific and political consensus around the need to limit warming to 2°C. Three questions are therefore paramount:
To help assess the velocity of this transition to a low carbon economy, PricewaterhouseCoopers has developed two new indices for the G20 economies:
The index looks at the period from 2000 to 2050, and an intermediate timeframe to 2020. Four economies, the US, China, India and the EU, are key to tackling change, as they make up 63% of the global carbon budget. For the US, China and India, and representing the EU, the UK, we have identified:

The first in a two-part series on electrocution hazards, MARCOM's Electrocution Hazards In Construction Environments PART I
Types of Hazards and How You Can Protect Yourself Construction Safety Kit discusses the major types of electrocution hazards, and how employees can protect themselves from electrical hazards and electrocution in construction environments. There are a number of causes of shock, electrical burns and electrocution. If the power to electrical equipment is not grounded, the grounding path has been broken, or there are live parts or bare wires, a fault current can travel through your body. Even when a piece of equipment or a tool is properly grounded, it can instantly change from safe to hazardous because of extreme conditions or rough treatment. So employees need to know what hazards to watch out for and how they can protect themselves. Materials in the kit include a DVD program, a compliance manual, five motivational posters, and 30 employee booklets. Topics covered in the DVD program and employee booklets include electrical hazards and electrocution, major types of electrocution hazards, power lines and GFCI's, power tools and extension cords, lock-out/tag-out and more. The posters in the kit emphasize the importance of working safely around electrocution hazards. The DVD program in the kit comes with a comprehensive leader's guide, reproducible scheduling & attendance form, employee quiz, training certificate and training log.

The stunning Kristi Spurgeon, Elanor (4.5), and Cora (1.5).
Kristi had healthy pregnancies with each of her girls but found herself quite uncomfortable throughout. Elanor arrived on her due date and Cora a bit early; both were born vaginally in hospital. Breastfeeding was something that Kristi always thought would just happen for her because that's what everyone says but it was difficult and incredibly painful at first. They worked through the cracked, bleeding nipples and she continued to nurse Elanor in part because that was what she had committed to doing. It was great but it was also a lot of hard work. As a working mom she was also pumping and continued until Elanor was just over a year old. Kristi says that it was all very stressful and intense, she was doing what she thought was best but it was also so much pressure.
Kristi's nursing experience with Cora was much different. She had a very laid back baby and found herself to be much more relaxed as well. They moved cities, houses and jobs just after Cora was born and life was very busy. Kristi nursed and pumped in her early months, then supplemented and eventually switched to formula. Everyone was just fine and she was so much less stressed! Sharing her experience is so important to Kristi so that other women know that there is a wide range of experience and all are normal.
As the mother of two daughters, Kristi hopes to raise them to love themselves and their bodies. She is dedicated to having a home free from body shame and negative commentary. She's doing her best to lead by example and hopes that some day, her girls will look back on this experience and these photographs with awe and pride.

Crystal Dynamics Confirms No Tomb Raider Demo/
There won't be a Tomb Raider demo, Crystal Dynamics has confirmed. There will be no Online or Season Pass, either.
Stewart followed that up with another tweet stating "we've weaved such a personal story we don't believe spoiling it by having you wait a week or so to play on, delivers on our promise."
While pre-release demos are typical, it's not rare to see them pop up after the game arrives on retail shelves. Nonetheless, the news and the reasons given by Stewart are somewhat surprising given how much exposure the game's opening act has already received. News that there won't be a Season or Online Pass also comes as some surprise given the inclusion of multiplayer for the first time in the action adventure series.
Tomb Raider is set for release on March 5.

Reverend Freakchild features a few friends on his latest record, "Dial It In." Chris Parker (Bob Dylan, Joe Cocker, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, John Hammond Jr.) lends his skills on the skins, providing beats for all the tracks.
The Rev. is joined on Track 2 by Hugh Pool (who also recorded and mixed the album) on harmonica, rocking the country blues of "Jesus on the Mainline" into the modern age with a new raw blues version of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus." On Track 3, the Rev is joined by Mark Karan (Bob Weir, Ratdog) on lead guitar for an original sorrowful San Francisco lament, "Hippie Bluesman Blues." On Track 4, Garrett Dutton (G Love and Special Sauce) blows harmonica and sings backing vocals with the amazing Hazel Miller, adding a hint of hip-hop to make for a soulful sounding infectious title track. On Track 8, Brian Mitchell (B.B. King, Levon Helm, Al Green) tickles the ivories, and on Track 9, Jay Collins (Greg Allman) gets a little jazzy with the Bob Dylan epic, adding a Morphine-type tone with tenor and baritone saxes. The Rev. then brings it back home and pays tribute to Blind Willie Johnson with a version of "Soul of a Man," adding a few new verses. The whole album is blues based but with a bit of, as Jorma Kaukonen says, a "psychedelic folk rock" flavor.
This project was recorded at Excello studios in Brooklyn, to 2-inch tape and mixed to 1-inch tape.

When I think of a trader success story, Paul Rotter is someone who comes to my mind first. He is something of a legend among scalp traders with a penchant for the German government bond market. At the height of his scalping career, he would sometimes trade as many as 1 million contracts a day with a more normal turnover of a still very significant 100,000-200,000 daily contracts.
Though he isn't a forex trader, apart from dabbling to hedge his positions in other markets, he has nonetheless caught the interest of forex traders, particularly the scalping fraternity.
While I certainly don't promote trading like Paul, his trader success story serves as an inspiration to what is possible in the trading world. I hope you find this information as interesting as I did.
Some consider Paul Rotter one of the best traders in the world. If that is really true or not is anyone's guess. But there is certainly no doubt that he is one of the best.
He became known as "The Flipper" because of his unique trading style on the Eurex exchange that involved placing a huge order on the opposite side of the market that he really wanted to take. Then when other traders tried to jump in to take a ride with the big position, he would withdraw the order and take the opposite side of the trade to suck in all the bad trades and scalp a few ticks.
You could call it scalp trading.
By some accounts, he was trading as many as 180,000 contracts per day in 2005. That made him the largest trader of German debt futures on the Eurex. This "flipping" style was so successful that the exchange may have changed the tick size of their contracts in an attempt to level the playing field.
In 1998, he helped form a Dublin-based prop trading firm that started with $1.3 million. At the end of three months of trading, they were up to $6.5 million.
But this did not come without a scare. Given the size that Rotter was trading at the time, the firm could have gone under if they had one bad trading day. Luckily, things worked out and they were able to build their trading account.
For about a year, nobody knew who he was, but other traders just knew that there was an Ireland-based trader out there that had a unique trading style and was making a lot of money trading German bond futures. Rotter was despised by many traders who blamed him for their losses.
Some say that he was making as much as $5 million per month. This cannot be confirmed, but it would make sense, given the size he was trading.
According to one of his interviews, he is a Czech native who moved to Germany when he was 9 years old. He started his trading career on the bond desk of a German bank and soon after almost going broke, began trading again with Daiwa Securities. Within three months at Daiwa, he was trading 5 lots well, with the help of some trading mentors at the firm.
He mentioned in an interview that is the biggest strength in trading is the ability to trade bigger when he has the advantage and to scale back when he doesn't or isn't trading well. This is a trait that I have seen often in very successful traders.
You can also Phentermine India Buy. In typical investment management website fashion, there isn't much there, but you can get a feel for his investment philosophy.
I hope that this trader success story post has given you some insight into possibly the most successful trader of all time. Even though he is not a Forex trader, good trading is good trading and there is always an opportunity to learn from it. His story is a great example of a small guy who went on to become one of the biggest players in a market.
If this trader success story interests you, then dig into it and find out if anything about his story can help you trade better. Again, I'm not promoting that you trade like him, but extreme success is always educational. Much of this information comes from sources that were written back in 2004-2005, so I'm not sure how he trades now.

Another day in the books. Made if to Lafayette, Indiana. Easy ride today. Some long stretches on roads with no turns. Paved too! The only thing that sucked a little, was the wind was in my face the entire time. It wasn't scary wind, where I think it's gonna push me over, it was just wind that made Scooter McGavin a little slower than usual. Ah well.
Tomorrow is gonna be a fun day. I'm gonna go off route a little bit and meet up with the guy who once owned the record I'm attempting. He rode his scoot 3,604 miles in the early 80s. He reached out to me and it so happens, he's in Warsaw, Indiana. Cannot wait for that. See you tomorrow, Howard!
Alright everyone. Until tomorrow! Byeeeee.

Thanks, Heathcote Primary!
On the 3rd, I had a lovely trip out to Heathcote P.S, and was startled to find myself surrounded by fairies, pirates, supervillains, and other creatures of legend and mystery. I thought I was going to be talking to a bunch of plain old school children, but the kids of Heathcote are clearly an extraordinary lot! Luckily one of the Year 2 girls explained to me... "We're not REAL fairies - it's just costumes!" So that was very reassuring. They were all dressed up for Book Week, and absolutely getting into the spirit of it all.
Thanks for letting me come and talk to you, Heathcote P.S! And special hi to Zak, who's pen I had to sign - twice!

Lynne Lambourne: Simple styling ideas for your home this Christmas
We recently announced the exciting news that Lynne Lambourne was joining us as our monthly resident blogger! If you missed it, you can read all about it here. Lynne has decided to dedicate her blog this month to Christmas, of course! She has shared with us some amazing tips and ideas to get your home ready for the festive season. Take it away Lynne...
If you're like me one of the best bits of Christmas is styling up your home ready to welcome friends and family. At this time of year, every magazine is full of amazing photos of rooms all styled beautifully giving us all house envy and making us feel like that old box of decorations that we stored somewhere in the loft may just not cut it this year!
Don't panic … pop on the kettle and let's have a look at a few simple and inexpensive ways that we can create some 'Christmas Wow' into our homes.
Before we begin, let me just say that as amusing as it is when one of your neighbours erects a 40 foot inflatable snowman in the front garden, that is not my style and certainly not the 'wow' that I'm advocating we try to achieve. Read on if you're with me...
Alternative Christmas Trees
I love making things and these were super simple to make. I used old bed slats from a bed that had seen better days. I cut them to size and used a nail gun to secure them together to form the Christmas tree shapes and then I added a wooden star to the top. A coat or two of chalk paint and they looked amazing.
They look great either on your door step or propped up against a wall of a living room … you can even hang baubles on them. If you don't have enough space for a huge tree then these can be a great alternative.
I also made a Christmas Tree using lampshades that I found in a charity shop. I stacked them all on top of each other and then secured them with wire. These look really effective when they are decorated with birds and vintage baubles. I have even attached lights to mine and at night it looks really stunning, it usually takes people a while to spot that it is made from upcycled lampshades but when they do they are always impressed.
Christmas Displays
Simple displays on top of cupboards can also add some Christmas interest. Popping vintage style faux mini Christmas Trees in domes is a great trick and painting an old piece of pallet with a Christmas message can add a nice touch.
No need to spend a fortune on an expensive wreath when you can make them so easily. Just collect ivy from your garden, plait it together, bend it into a hoop, secure with gardening wire and finally attach baubles to it!
This is something that the children can get involved in doing as it is so simple to do. Not only would they look great on your front door but collated together on a wall of your home and all hung at different heights they would look fantastic.
Last year I made a wreath using a swim noodle and lots of old baubles. It took a while to assemble but looked super effective in the end. It did require a fair amount of patience and the odd glass of wine to complete but pop on those Christmas Tunes and make an evening of it.
I loved the look of all the colours working together and something similar in the shops would cost a fortune. You can see a YouTube video of how I did it here...[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7T2nTC5KbA&t=93s[/embed]
I spotted this on Pinterest too and thought it was a clever idea. I don't know about you but I lose at least an hour of my day being inspired on Pinterest. This looks very effective considering it's just an old coat hanger and some wooden pegs.
I also found this inflatable wreath when I was at the Ideal Home Christmas Show which I thought was great fun. Perfect if you're going on holiday over the festive period!! It even looks great hung on the wall!
How many times do we go to hang baubles only to realise that they are broken and can't be hung up anymore? Well don't bin them … I think large oversized jars of baubles make great Christmas centre pieces on tables, even better if you weave a battery pack of lights through them that can be switched on at night to give a cosy glow.
Wow Factor
If you want impact then this inflatable 'Merry Christmas' sign is a winner. I won't lie and tell you it's not a little bit fiddly to put together but it is really worth it as it makes a great wow factor at the end of any room. I used some sticky hooks that I attached to the ceiling to hang it from and I think it looks really effective.
So there you have it, a few ideas that should keep you busy and help you create a unique look this Christmas in your home. Remember, it's your home and your style, be as creative as you like, good luck with untangling those Christmas lights and I hope that all your vacuum cleaners can cope with the onslaught of pine needles thrown their way this festive season!
Merry Christmas Interiors Addicts.
Love, Lynne x

How LFR Affects Raiding in WoW
Raiding in World of Warcraft has evolved many times over the years. We have seen numerous new formats and changes to our raid system. Many of these have brought great new challenges for players. Expansions continue to bring new challenges and new difficulty levels that provide exciting gear, mounts, and rewards for completion.
Some of these new difficulty levels have improved the game and provided us with new goals and achievements. One notable format to discuss is 'Looking for Raid' or more commonly referred to as LFR, which is a simplified version of a raid. The Raid Finder tool within WoW allows players to queue for a stripped down version of a raid in order to experience a taste of the end-game bosses and challenges.
Players are able to choose from current content and take on bite-size chunks of the larger raid. 'Pick-Up Groups', or PUGs are formed in groups of 25 and placed inside of the raid but are only able to defeat 2-3 bosses in that section before having to queue again to defeat the other sections and bosses. This format was introduced in Cataclysm and works similar to Dungeon Finder. A few of the benefits of LFR include an easy way to gear up alternate characters, finish gear set bonuses, or practicing and preparing to face Normal or Heroic versions of the raid.
But, alas, that which glitters is not always gold.
While it's true that LFR provides players with a chance to experience current bosses and raids, there is currently a lost art to raiding. Raid finder is quickly becoming a crutch for many new players. The overall mentality of raiding has shifted so far in the wrong direction over the years that it is difficult to pull players away from this "get gear quick" mindset.
Veteran players are often reminiscent of the glory days of raiding when you had to follow strict rules and deadlines in order to progress through content. The evolution of raiding has changed the core values of raiding and basic guild interaction. Casual raiding is quickly becoming the norm. Hardcore raiding is often deemed "elitist", but LFR raiding is being categorized as actual raid progression for many players.
The mindset that LFR achievements actually count for something is a laughable concept. Having experienced every LFR that has been released in Legion, I can do nothing but shake my head and roll my eyes throughout the whole process. It's almost painful sometimes. There is nothing redeemable about this raid format as it stands.
Let's talk about a typical LFR experience…
Using Raid Finder as a healer or tank is usually a quick process, but DPS typically wait in queue for at least 20 minutes. Upon joining, I often find that the group is midway through the section, so it's possible that I have missed the first or second boss. Another queue timer…
Now let's see what happens when we finally get to join!
I zone in and notice the group seems to have had some trouble with a boss. They have 2 stacks of Determination. This is totally understandable, right? The boss has 5 mechanics and you have to dodge fire, soak pools, kill adds. It's absolute madness!
So now we are directly in front of the boss. We have about 18/25 people standing around. Typically in a guild raid, this is where the leader would give a quick explanation or even a ready check. But no! We are in LFR! Let's pretend that the leader does a quick ready check. People who are dead or aren't in the room click "Ready". This is a great start so far!
Now somebody (let's assume a hunter), pulls the boss. We start the fight! Adds are spawning. Fire is being thrown at the group. Weapons are spinning around. So many great mechanics are happening! But because this is not a real raid, we are forced to endure the following:
Raid Member A – Stands in a pool of lava and dies
Raid Member B – Can't dodge the giant hammer and dies
Raid Member C – Decided not to bother with the fight and suicides
Raid Member D – Disconnects from the game and doesn't rejoin
Raid Member E – Thinks he is too good for LFR and proceeds to call everybody a "noob idiot" and then dies to a mechanic
In the first 2 minutes of an 8-minute fight, we have lost 5 members. The rest of the group can't decide if it's a wipe or if we should keep going. They argue back and forth in chat and forget to do mechanics while typing, so we lose another 6 players. Now we've wiped and after a few insults and sarcastic remarks, half the group decides to leave. Back in the queue to sit and wait for more players…
It's important to note that this is not the same experience for everybody. Some people really enjoy the stress-free raid content and LFR is a great way for them to experience the storylines and defeat the bosses that plague our world of Azeroth. However, many players want to achieve the greatness that can only be found through end-game raiding. They are happy to abide by rules and expectations and work with their guild to accomplish everything that WoW has to offer.
Here at Voidwalker Texas Ranger, we want all our members to feel like they can accomplish things way beyond typical LFR. We strive to teach our members basic raid guidelines and maintain a high standard of raiding. Even if you have only done LFR, we can show you there is more beyond long queues, hateful players, and chaotic encounters. Our guild is able to provide members with information and details that will transform an LFR player into a hardcore raider!
We are currently recruiting for our core raid team! You can find more information on our Recruitment Page.

Cassette recording of a 1978 unpublished 19 minute interview with Michael Jackson and 12 minutes of the Jackson brothers without Michael. Memorex 90 cassette accompanied by a CD copy of the tape; these are the only two copies of this recording and the winning bidder will be the sole owner.
The interview occurred after Jackson's filming of "The Wiz" (Universal Pictures, 1978) and prior to the release of The Jackson 5's "Destiny" album. The Michael Jackson interview, conducted by Patrick Salvo, touches on The Jackson 5 leaving Motown Records, Jermaine's solo work, if Jackson can be himself while living in the spotlight, Smokey Robinson and Diana Ross' attempts to introduce Jackson the the philosophical movement EST and Ross' wonderful treatment to Jackson on the set of "The Wiz."
The soft voiced Jackson can be heard over clicking camera shutters in the background. He deflects some questions about race and if he has a "normal" life. There are many revealing comments including Jackson saying he has never had jitters on stage and prefers to be on stage than anywhere else.
The interview with the other members of the Jackson 5 are jovial, while the interviewer asks about different people the band is involved with including Joe Jackson, Berry Gordy, Diana Ross and current events including the Jonestown Massacre, the Alex Huxley book "Roots" and the Jackson's reaction to visiting Africa. Both Michael and his brothers discuss Peacock Productions, their own production company and the symbolism behind the peacock.
These interviews were purchased after Patrick Salvo's death from his estate.

Hidetaka "Swery" Suehiro, the creative mind behind Deadly Premonition and D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die, has announced his return to the video game industry — and he's founded a new indie studio to prove it.
It's called White Owls, a company that will seemingly dabble in video games, virtual reality, and even literature. Suehiro promises to experiment in a "wide variety of fields," listing art installations as one possible example. A global audience is the target, though its first, original project is currently listed as "to be announced" on the official White Owls website. The 'About Us' page does yield some interesting details about the company itself.
Hello, and nice to meet you. I'm the president and CEO of White Owls, SWERY.
White Owls is a small development company that was born in Osaka on November 1, 2016. Our slogan is "From Osaka to all of YOU around the World," and we're working day and night to create completely unique things that no one's ever seen before.
Deep meaning exists in the name 'White Owls.' In Ancient Greece, owls were called sages of the forest, and thought to be servants of Athena (Minerva), the goddess of wisdom.
Their eyes can pierce the darkness, and their ears can hear sound in 3D. Their wings allow them to silently catch their prey, and their powerful claws can effortlessly tear through even the toughest of bodies. There is also an Albino species of owl clad in sheer white fur which possesses an especially mystical quality. We at White Owls hope to keep growing until we can someday evolve into a similar type of mystical entity. We've only barely taken our first breath, but we hope you'll keep an eye on us as we embark along our journey.
There's currently no mention of what to expect from White Owls now that the studio has taken its "first breath," but we'll keep you updated as more information comes to light.
