"Night keeps all your heart …" ~ Claus Terhoeven
I surrendered myself to the darkness
when you turned out the lights,
a willing body and benighted soul
wishing to follow your luminescent lead.
But the heart doesn't need light,
is a blind thing stumbling over the shadows
of other hearts that hide in still others' shadows.
In the darkened room you offered your body
but not your heart. While mine, tenuously tethered,
I offered to you. But it shattered, its pieces
falling away, chasing echoes of all
my dreams that fell before it.
Now the darkness fills where once a heart
beat for you, lost to your honest duplicity.
You were the daylight of my life and turned
to a thief in darkest night who stole
my heart and never gave it back, for night
hates penumbral half-measures. Night rolls over
and keeps all your heart and all its light within.
A quick "welcome back" write for Annie Fuller's Writing Outside the Lines challenge. I wanted to write a story, and probably will later, but I'm tapped out. You'll have to put up with this fifteen-minute first draft poem until then.

Technological Advancement In Movies
Throughout the previous centuries, movies are providing us with a source of fun and entertainment. A number of people may have come and go but the industry has survived till date to entertain all the movie-lovers till date. However, one of the biggest reasons for the survival of the industry is their willingness to adapt and change according to changing times. From black and white films to making colored, animated films, from using film reels to going to digital camera, a number of technological advancements have shaped the movie industry we look at today. Here are the best of them:
This technology was developed specifically for the most recent installment in the Star Trek franchise, 'The Final Frontier'. VFX artists Brad Degraff and Michael Whorman came up with the idea of using the concept of Previsualization of specific scenes in the movie before actually shooting them. This helps a lot in to visualize complex scenes and effects beforehand so as to make nothing goes wrong while shooting these scenes in reality.
Rigs for Zero Gravity
Producers and Directors who had to work on films that contained scenes shot in zero gravity often complained about their lack of control over the environment which led to a long time to shoot those portions. However, one such film crew on the set of the 'Ender's Game' movie actually went about to do something about it which led to the development of the zero gravity rigs. Created by stunt coordination Garett Warren, this rig placed the lead actor inside a ring hung onto a lollipop arm suspension system which helped them to have a range of motions for shooting scenes.
Fusion Camera
James Cameron widely acknowledge the fact that it took him over 2 decades to shoot Avatar after coming up with its script back in 1994 due to the technology required not being developed yet. He, along with his crew, went onto create a 3D High Definition camera system by fusing two brand-new Sony HDC-F950 cameras together at a distance of 2.5 inches. It was done so as to mimic the human eye imitations and has been successfully used since then in a number of movies such as 'Life of Pi' and 'Hugo'.
The Movie Box app allows you to watch Avatar and many other latest and old movies on your iOS devices for free of cost in HD quality. You can even watch the HD quality movies on your Android devices as well. All you have to do is downloading MovieBox app on your smartphones.
VistaGlide Motion-Control Camera
The crew for the movie 'Back to the Future' faced the problem of showing same actor acting in multiple roles at the same time. Although, actors also used to play double roles on the screen at similar instants, these people went forward to create a VistaGlide motion-control camera. Thisrobotic, motion controlledcamera allowed the Director to take shots of scenes involving actors playing 2-3 different characters at the same time by easily controlling their movement and actions in a single take.
The Last Words
Technology has been used by filmmakers from a long time to improve the quality of their films with the gadgets evolving every day to meet the production demands. Technological advancements have helped to raise the standard of the movies and with more advancements coming every year, the future for the Film industry looks very bright.

We all know the story of the shepherd boy who cried wolf. The boy decided to have some fun at the expense of the villagers. He shouted, "Help, help, the wolf is here.'4 The villagers heard him and came to his rescue, but when they got there, they saw no wolf and the boy laughed at them. They went away. The next day, the boy played the same trick and the same thing happened. Then one day, while the boy was taking care of his sheep he actually saw a wolf and shouted for help. The people in the village heard him but this time nobody came to his rescue. They thought it was another trick and did not trust him anymore. He lost his sheep to the wolf. The moral of the story is - When people tell lies, they lose credibility. Once they have lost credibility, even when they tell the truth, no one believes them. Make yourself an honest man and then you may be sure there is one rascal less in the world. --Thomas Carlyle

I'm impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

Farrah Abraham
UPDATE (9/13/2017 at 9:24 a.m. ET):
Farrah Abraham is breaking her silence on the latest bout of rumors claiming she's making a comeback in the adult entertainment world.
The Teen Mom OG star is denying reports she has another sex tape in the works.
"I have NO new sex tape coming out and don't plan too [sic]," the 26-year-old told In Touch in a (misspelled) statement.
"Been there, done that."
She doesn't, however, address the rumors that she has a new partnership with porn hub CamSoda, but we'll have to wait and see!
Click on for more on Farrah's supposed new business ventures, her "vaginal rejuvenation" procedure, and more NSFW stuff.
UPDATE (9/12/2017 at 11:24 a.m. ET):
Well, this could explain why Farrah Abraham underwent that painful-looking vaginal rejuvenation procedure...
A new report claims the Teen Mom OG star has landed a deal with an online porn company. Yes, world, another Farrah Abraham "adult film" is on its way!
The 26-year-old has landed a partnership with online porn site CamSoda and will debut herself — naked, if that wasn't clear— on the site on Wednesday evening, September 13, TMZ reports.
Clearly we've all seen the mom of one's lady parts before in her 2013 sex tape with James Deen, but this will be the first time we're seeing her in the flesh since her cosmetic procedure back in August.
For more on Farrah's surgery, plus TMI vids from the doctor's office, keep on clicking through!
Original story (8/28/2017 at 2:24 p.m. ET):
Leave it to Farrah Abraham to be TMI on social media.
The Teen Mom star recently underwent a vaginal rejuvenation procedure and shared the experience on Instagram.
Yeah, we wish we were making this up!
The mother of one posted a picture from the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center with nurse Sara Fowler on Sunday, August 27 ahead of her 2017 MTV VMAs appearance.
"Loving my lady parts! #vaginalrejuvenation," the 26-year-old captioned the photo.
The reality star was also featured in a video of Sara explaining the procedure, which focuses on tightening the lady parts.
"What this does is distributes little wounds through radio frequency which kind of breaks up the collagen and forces it to restore during that healing process," Sara said.
"So everything becomes tighter and you actually experience..."
"Like I'm 16 again?" Farrah interrupted.
"There you go, like you're 16 again!" Sara exclaimed.
The MTV vet shared pics of herself undergoing the actual procedure — but don't worry, they're safe for work — in a silvery crop top.
Sara also posted photos from the experience and opened up about working with Farrah.
"Today, @farrah__abraham visited us at BHRC to rejuvenate her lady parts. Like so many, she was a little nervous at first but quickly realized there is nothing to fear," she shared.
"#VaginalRejuvenation with our Ultra Femme 360 is a 30 minute pain-free non-invasive treatment. It works by delivering radio frequency to the underlying fibers, provoking the skin to produce NEW collagen."
She continued, "As a result, women experience a dramatic increase in tightness and sexual satisfaction.
"This treatment also helps eliminate stress incontinence, a common issue for women who have given birth."
So basically, this procedure is perfect for all the Teen Mom stars, right?!
Do you think Farrah went too far by sharing this? Let us know your thoughts below!

How far your mind goes determines were you would, why! You can't get farther than your mindset because your mindset determines how your life is set.
When you wake up every morning, what do you think about, how do you place yourself, where do you see yourself going, do you put a full stop in your life when God hasn't even put a comma.
Until you see yourself growing and expanding, you would not set your actions to move in that manner. For every step you take in life, let there be a picture of a higher level.
The bible says godliness with contentment is great gain- 1 Tim 6:6. Do not mistake contentment for ignorance. For every place and position you are, satisfaction and appreciation to God is good, but an understanding of the fact that God doesn't want you to remain there is even better.
Gen 13:14- lift up your eyes from WHERE YOU ARE and look north, south, east and west…. (NIV)
Until you leave where YOU are, you would never get to where God wants you to.
Lift up your eyes, stretch your mind , and prepare for expansion!

Real Salt Lake 3 vs LA Galaxy 0
September 19, 2015; Rio Tinto Stadium
Real Salt Lake (10-11-8, 38 points); LA Galaxy (13-9-8, 47 points)
Man of the Match: Forward Devon Sandoval had two goals on the night, giving him three in his last two matches after he scored last week against the Houston Dynamo. First, he pounced on a third-minute goal after Javier Morales played a ball in for Aaron Maund and Maund redirected it across the goal for Sandoval to knock it home for the early lead. Then he put the match out of reach with his second goal in the 53rd minute, heading in a great ball from Juan Manuel Martinez. In three matches this week, including the CONCACAF Champions League match against Santa Tecla FC on Tuesday in El Salvador, Sandoval played 259 minutes and was the only RSL player to start all three matches.
Telling Stat: Saturday was the fourth time this season that Javier Morales finished with a goal and an assist this season. In those four matches, RSL is 3-0-1, with the lone draw coming in a wild 3-3 affair with the Philadelphia Union in March. It's a feat he's accomplished 11 times since 2013, with RSL totaling an 8-1-2 record in those matches.
What You Missed: Tony Beltran – a two-time All-Star right back – started the match at left back for the first time since June 30, 2012. After Demar Phillips suffered a hamstring strain that knocked him out of contention for action on Saturday, Head Coach Jeff Cassar opted to keep Jordan Allen at right back, where he started in place of Beltran when he was out on yellow card accumulation last week against the Dynamo and deploy the veteran Beltran in the left back role. That duo was able to limit the Galaxy's danger on the wings while also getting involved occasionally in the attack.
So What: This was a convincing win for RSL but there is still work to be done over the final five matches of the season. The three points put RSL within striking distance of the final playoff spot, three points behind the Portland Timbers entering Portland's meeting with the New York Red Bulls on Sunday. The match next week in San Jose becomes even more crucial as RSL needs to leapfrog the Earthquakes, two points ahead of Salt Lake with 40 points. The race in the Western Conference could make for an exciting final month, to say the least.

MILAN (Reuters) - A row over the running of Italy's Banca Carige (CRGI.MI) has led to the exit of its chairman, the bank said on Tuesday, in the latest blow to its attempts to fix its corporate governance.
"(Giuseppe Tesauro's) resignation is motivated by divergences arising from the bank's governance and its management," Genoa-based Carige said in a statement.
Carige struggled to pull through a cash call demanded by regulators at the end of last year, and is working to reduce a large soured loan burden under Chief Executive Paolo Fiorentino, a former veteran UniCredit (CRDI.MI) manager.
A source familiar with the matter said there may have been disagreements between Carige's CEO and its chairman, while investment bankers say concerns about the influence top shareholder Vittorio Malacalza exerts over the bank complicate Carige's search for a merger partner.
Fiorentino arrived at Carige nearly a year ago after Malacalza fell out with his predecessor. The local businessman was also behind the appointment of Tesauro as chairman in 2016.
Malacalza owns 20.6 percent of Carige after backing last year's 544 million euro capital raising and a previous 850 million euro cash call in 2015.
At the annual general meeting in March, Malacalza sharply criticized Fiorentino's handling of the latest recapitalization, prompting another prominent investor to defend the CEO.
Italian financier Raffaele Mincione, who emerged this year as one of Carige's top shareholders with a 5.4 percent stake but failed to attain a board seat, said he felt compelled to back Fiorentino in the face of Malacalza's comments.
By 1125 shares in Carige fell 1.2 percent underperforming a 0.9 percent drop in Italy's banking index .FTIT8300.
"Governance changes will not slow down actions envisaged by our business plan," Chief Financial Officer Andrea Soro told reporters when he arrived a conference in Milan.
Carige is rushing to tap a state guarantee scheme which risks expiring in September to ease the sale of 1 billion euros in bad debts via a securitization deal.
It is also in talks with investors to shed up to 500 million euros in loans which are not yet in default but are unlikely to be repaid in full.
Carige, which swung to a first-quarter net profit thanks to lower loan losses, targets 2.7 billion euros in gross soured debt at the end of the year, down from 4.8 billion euros in 2017, when they accounted for 27 percent of total lending.

text: After two nights of binging, I finally gave in this morning and b/p-ed. Just woke up and started eating, then purged, then ate more, then purged again. And now I'm eaten by again, but my husband will be home soon so I can't purge. I just feel like such a failure. I want to cry and give up. All I can think of is when I first made get transition from anorexia to bulimia and I just felt so helpless, like I'll never be thin again. That's how I feel now. Last time it lead to a downward spiral of drugs and all sorts of desperate measures to lose the weight. I don't want to go down that path again, but I have to get this weight off. I am so uncomfortable in my skin right now; it's making me want to wear nothing by sweatpants and sweatshirts and isolate as much as possible. And since that's not an option – my husband keeps dragging me out, and I have to wear nice clothes to work and most functions – I just feel so disgusting and like everything must be judging me. I have to go find a dress for tonight that will hide my fat.

Nothing's More Natural Than Naked
>> Wednesday, February 27, 2008
I'm pretty picky about my shampoo and conditioner. OK, I'm a snob. I have my salon brand preferences (I've had my cosmetology license for years so I can get my stuff wholesale) and I rarely vary from them.
The other day I received a sample of a new
I love the bright red that just peeks out. It's fun, and a bit of a surprise. I love to keep people guessing.
So, anyway, I tried the sample of natural shampoo and conditioner. I was a bit hesitant because I haven't used a non-"professional" brand of hair products in a long time.
I was really impressed by the samples I received. I just had my hair colored the other day so when it's wet you can really feel the extent of the damage. Because the naked naturals have no laureth sulfates they are less drying to the hair and the added keravis proteins help to replace the proteins that were broken down during the coloring process so my hair becomes stronger and resists breaking.
There are three types of naked naturals shampoos and conditioners available: one to moisturize, one to fortify and one for color treated hair. I'm really impressed with the Awapuhi & Lavender color treated products. I'll probably run out to Walgreen's for more when we get home from vacation...

SellPoints ecommerce optimization solution delivers interactive hotspots on your hero image, that tell your product story the moment the consumer lands on your product detail page.
57% of consumer engagement is above-the-fold, where SellPoints highlights your product story. And product page performance testing across our retailer and brand network shows a consistent 24% incremental lift in add to cart rates, and 28% increase in consumer time on the page. If you want to enhance your product pages, contact us today by filling out the form to the rightof this page.
Here are some ecommerce best practices from some of our best-performing brand optimization clients.
Does your hero image tell an engaging product story?
Our ecommerce best practices come from analyzing top performers and the great stories they tell. We have more specific tips for each product category, like patio brand optimization, appliances, any many more. But as a general introduction, here are some proven ideas to optimize your product page performance in any category:
Location, location, location
Place your hotspots on a particular part of your product hero image, an option you'll only get on the SellPoints platform. It's a deal maker when consumers find answers right on the area they're curious about, and you'll see it in conversion lift. For your more general content, like a video overview or a user manual, corner placement has the best results.
Exciting videos
Focus on what makes your product stand out, like ease of use or your most innovative features. Hold attention with shorter, 1-2 minute introductory videos and "quick guides" that answer questions but encourage consumers to read more on your product detail page. Show your product being enjoyed by consumers at home, or highlight the great things you can do with it. And always use subtitles so consumers are engaged if they watch without sound.
A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
One of our simplest ecommerce best practices is to use Photocaptions to highlight additional specs or attributes not shown in your videos. These are close-up images and a short caption that boost product page performance by helping consumers understand the unique value of your product. And they're really easy to make, with product close-up images your marketing team already has.
Dimensions and sizing
For appliances and furniture brand optimization, whether the product is the right fit for a home is very important. Include 360° views and clear product measurements so consumers can evaluate sizing and imagine the product in their home. It's essential to make up for not being in-store, and brings significant incremental lift to your product page performance.
Be Friendly – Mobile Friendly
All of our enhanced content solutions are built as mobile-first responsive products that are natively adaptive to all screens and audiences. This means that no matter the platform, consumers are guaranteed to have an ideal shopping experience.
One of the simplest but most critical ecommerce best practices is to avoid large, action packed infographics with too much information. These just won't look good downscaled to mobile screens. Use Photocaptions, our flexible pairs of images and text, to highlight your most compelling features, and they will deliver the product page performance on mobile too.
Our Brand Partners
SellPoints brings 15+ years of trailblazing expertise to the ecommerce space. Our partnerships with premier online retailers provide brands innovative solutions that help drive traffic, increase shopper engagement, and maximize conversion rates.
Our solutions are driving conversions from brands just like you. Fill out the form [on the right/below] to get started today!

Health Talk Outline:
Throughout the caregiving journey, which can last from six months to more than 10 years, the role of family caregivers evolves–and so should the services and the support they receive.
The Caregiving Years describes the path that family caregivers take—from Expectant Caregiver, to Freshman Caregiver, to Entrenched Caregiver, to Pragmatic Caregiver to Transitioning Caregiver to Godspeed Caregiver. Most important, the stages—and their related Stumbles and Steadies—provide a map for family caregivers (and their travel companions, health care professionals) to navigate successfully through the caregiving journey.
A tip sheet will be provided for the participants.
Presented by: Saskia Jennings, Certified Caregiving Consultant & Educator
This Health Talk is part of the Wellnessnews Health Expo, Nainaimo Conference Center.

Time of Saskia's talk: 12.30 pm

Getting Good Cheap Lights For Your Home Studio
Getting Good Cheap Lights For Your Home Studio
An article by Todd Simpson
The age old question. "Why do vids sometimes seem too dark"? Usually it's from not enough lights So here is a quick and dirty list of some inexpensive L.E.D. (no heat produced, very low power consumption, etc.) lights you can add to your home studio setup. I'm using some of each :)
I'm using LED mini spot lights in my home studio since they have spiff colors and they don't put out any extra heat They are quite cheap on ebay @ about U.S. $5 each and sometimes free shipping too! And they come with a remote control to turn them on and off and change color to whatever. I tried the white light from them and it just looks bland so I picked blue and red Here is a link to an example of a 6 pack of these with remote for U.S. $37.
I also ordered some of these lights and some stands. They are maybe not bright enough for stage though They work well for home studio lights though and run about U.S. 60 each. I've got two so far.
I have one of these bigger ones. These can run on their internal battery! So you can put them anywhere about U.S. $ 100 each.
So there ya go. Cheap lights!! Adding a few lights and experimenting with lighting can take your youtube vids / rec vids/ any vids to the next level!! And one more thing.
Always try very very very hard to keep your BED out of the shot!!!!! I know it's a pain and you will have to rearrange your entire room to do it, but vids with gear in the shot look more pro and more like a home studio. Vids with beds/laundry/etc. just don't come off looking as good or pro.
Color Temperature
Power consumption is very low on these and they don't heat up the room they live in. Light temp is a very important issue, for those new to lighting, the "temperature" of the lights can be thought of as either "daylight balanced" (blue/cool) or "Tungsten Balanced" (yellowish/warm)
The good news is that LED lights are not limited to one or the other. They can provide a wide range of color options unlike a regular lamp/bulb which has to be "gelled" (You put a see through color gel on the light itself). But honestly the precise details are probably more than you need to worry about for home vids.
Suffice to say, for CHEAP you can buy some LED bulbs that come with remote control to change color/dimmer settings and and point a few at your recording position and bingo You can start having better light in your vids.
Here is a handy color chart to give a bit more insight:

Mould Remediation
If the mould in your home covers an area of one square meter or more, it is recommended that a qualified mould professional is consulted. Roy Piper is one of the few who maintains certificates in microbial remediation, recognition, and control. He will find the mould, advise you on the cause, and remove it quickly and safely.
There are many companies offering mould remediation services. It can be quite like comparing apples to oranges. We recommend that you enquire about the qualifications, certifications, and training that the inspectors and remediation workers possess. You will also want to be sure the company you choose holds the industry-required liability & pollution insurance, and that they are in good standing with WorkSafe BC.
This photo shows the mould growing through the paint in an attic. The goal of the paint was to encapsulate the mould, but as you can see this is not the best process.
This mould was sprayed with a product with the goal of rendering it non-viable (killing it). Other than watching to see if it grows again, there is no way to determine if this mould is still viable (live). The best way to deal with mould is to remove it!
Home SOULutions does not encapsulate (cover) mould. Both the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) and the Canadian Construction Association discourage encapsulation methods. We do not blast or scrape the mould. Instead, we use a biodegradable product to remove the mould. In most cases, the mould, as well as any staining, will be gone. In situations where the mould is heavy and there has been water intrusion for some time, there may be minimal staining left behind.
Home SOULutions Remediation Ltd. will also provide you with advice regarding the source and cause of the mould in your home. We can help you to make the necessary upgrades and repairs which will improve the ventilation in your home. Improved ventilation means a decrease in humidity. A decrease in humidity helps to prevent future mould occurrences. Roy Piper has 20+ years of renovation and restoration experience on top of his mould training and prides himself on going above and beyond industry standards. Home SOULutions is certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration (IICRC).
This is a good example of how your attic should look. There is no grey, black or white – it is a clean caramel wood colour. The baffles have been installed correctly at the soffit vents to allow the attic to breathe.
I just wanted to personally thank you all for the great job that you did in putting my house back in good shape. You showed us that there are still people out there that will do what is right and not try to overcharge you. You and your staff are to be commended. By looking at the photos I can see it all looks great and that you take pride in what you do. I will ensure I check the attics every year from now on and I definitely know who to call (or recommend to others) if I see anything suspicious.
Want to Know More?
If you cannot see your mould but you have a musty or earthy smell or family members have been suffering from respiratory issues – we suggest starting with a home humidity & mould inspection and possibly air quality testing to test for allergens. Click Here for more information on a home inspection.
Health Canada advises that high concentrations of airborne mould spores may have a number of adverse health effects. These include eye, nose, and throat irritation; coughing and phlegm build-up; wheezing and shortness of breath; and allergic reactions. Some studies show that mould may also affect your immune system.
Mould is often discovered by a building inspector during the sale process. Buyers, insurance companies, and finance companies will often require that the mould professionally remediated. So if you want that quick sale – let us turn your mould into Sold!
Once mould has been identified in your home, isolating the type or measuring the spore count does not change the procedures for mould removal. Mould will actually 'eat' the structure of your home. It will reduce the value of your property. We can remove the mould in your home often in less than a day.
Take care of your family, find out about our mould removal processes and call us today.

text: Using a combination of computer simulations and laboratory experiments we test if the thermal sensitivity of growth rates change during ontogeny in damselfly larvae and if these changes can be predicted based on the natural progression of average temperature or thermal variability in the field. The laboratory experiment included replicated species from Southern, Central, and Northern Europe. Although annual fluctuations in temperature represent a key characteristic of temperate environments, few studies of thermal performance have considered the ecological importance of the studied traits within a seasonal context. Instead, thermal performance is assumed to remain constant throughout ontogeny and to reflect selection acting over the whole life cycle. The laboratory experiment revealed considerable variation among species in the strength and direction of ontogenetic performance shifts. In four species from Southern and Central Europe, reaction norms were steepest during early ontogeny, becoming less steep during later ontogenetic stages (indicative of low-temperature acclimation). In one Northern European species, the slope of reaction norms did not change during ontogeny. In the other North European species, reaction norms became steeper during ontogeny (indicative of high-temperature acclimation). We had expected high-latitude species to show strong low-temperature acclimation responses, because they have a short flight season and inhabit a strongly seasonal environment. Instead, we found the reversed pattern: Low-latitude species displayed strong low-temperature acclimation responses, and high-latitude species displayed weak, or even reversed, acclimation responses to low temperatures. These findings suggest that low-temperature acclimation may be less beneficial and possibly more costly in habitats with rapid seasonal transitions in average temperature. We conclude that thermal performance traits are more dynamic than typically assumed and caution against using results from single ontogenetic stages to predict species' responses to changing environmental conditions.

Exploring the Sydney Opera House district
Stunningly set on Bennelong Point and overlooked by the Sydney Harbour Bridge, iconic Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing arts theatres. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the spectacular building was designed by Jorn Utzon and premiered as a multi-arts centre in 1973, soon becoming Sydney's landmark and a major tourist attraction. Its unique roof design draws on Sydney's long maritime heritage with its resemblance to the billowing sails of the ships which brought Australia's first settlers.
The venue is home to four resident companies, Opera Australia, the Australian Ballet, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Sydney Theatre Company. Over 1,500 diverse performances take place every year, attracting an audience of over a million in total. A similarly huge number of tourists visit the site, and the nearby Sydney Harbour Bridge, Darling Harbour, with its museums and tourism facilities, the Luna Park theme park and the Royal Botanic Gardens all make for a great day's sightseeing.
Sights nearby
Within easy access from Sydney Opera House are a number of Sydney's favourite landmarks and attractions as well as a good selection of hotels at levels from budget to luxury.
Known by the locals as the 'Coat Hanger', the elegant curves of Sydney Harbour Bridge span the waters from The Rocks district to North Sydney, with a charming harbour-front walkway passing under its spans from Circular Quay. Options for the great views from the bridge include walking, cycling and for the best views over the city, climbing the Bridge Pylon or even taking an organised climb to its highest point. Less challenging than it sounds, this option takes around three hours and includes safety tethers and special climbing suits. Taking the climb at night opens up a panorama of glittering lights across the city and the illuminated Opera House in all its glory.
A district of winding lanes and heritage buildings, The Rocks is Sydney's historical old town with its cultural attractions and early colonial homes such as Cadman's Cottage and the terraces of Susannah Place. At night, the district becomes a lively hub for Australia's legendary pub culture, and the area's Wharf Theatre and Sydney Theatre run regular seasons of shows. The Colonial House Museum has original artifacts and photos from Australia's earliest days as a British outpost, and there's a good selection of nearby hotels such as the InterContinental Sydney.
Set on Observatory Hill, Sydney Observatory is the city's oldest, offering exhibitions, tours and exceptional views over one of the loveliest harbors on earth. A night visit gets you use of the giant telescopes assisted by an astronomer who'll guide you around the night sky and its glories. It's an informative, fun experience enjoyed by children and adults alike.
Eating and drinking and shopping nearby
Sydney Opera House itself has a good selection of bars, cafés and restaurants serving pre- and post-performance meals, and its location fronting the city's central district gives easy access to fine dining both in independent eateries and hotels such as the Park Hyatt Sydney and the Marriott. Each city district has its 'Eat Street', with nearby Darling Harbour one of the largest, packed with eateries serving a wide variety of international cuisine. Shopping is never far, with George Street, Darling Harbour and Martin Place offering a mix of designer outlets and department stores.
There is a range of options for all travelers. The most popular hotel in Sydney is the Sought After CBD Location YORK5, which has been booked 5 times from our Hotels.com verified guests. Our guests also highly recommended Urban Rest - The Miller in Sydney as it has been reserved 5 times.
Public transport
Getting to the Opera House by public transport is straightforward, with Circular Quay rail station just a 10-minute walk away. Buses run from the city centre, and ferries link various spots in the harbour with the iconic building. A free shuttle bus aimed at elderly and disabled visitors regularly covers the short distance from Circular Quay to the Opera House, with times to coincide with performances.

The $2.7 million contract involved in the program is between the Air Force and a Silicon Valley company, Pivotal Inc., that has often worked with large corporations such as Ford and Home Depot. The effort is expected to reach beyond the operations center in Qatar to eventually assist in similar U.S. military facilities across the world.
It was a project to digitize refueling aircraft, from the previously analog approach:
The visitors, part of then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter's new Defense Innovation Board, were surprised to see that the Air Force used a white marker board to plan the elaborate daily effort to refuel aircraft involved in the war in Iraq and Syria, said Joshua Marcuse, the board's executive director.
Next project:
The next project will focus on improving the coordination and management of airstrikes. An initial version could be available by next month, and DIUx is hopeful deployed airmen could use it within a few months, Oti said. Other programs planned will focus on compiling analytical data about airstrikes and studying potential targets.
Source: The Pentagon has tried to get Silicon Valley on its side for years. Now it's part of the air war against ISIS.

Naturally, since your kids will be using this bed, you'll want to make sure it's safe. Be sure your plans include guard rails on the sides, especially on the top bunk. Also, the mattresses need to fit perfectly into the frames, the frames need to be sturdy, and the ladder should be attached to the bed and not removable. These precautions, included in most plans, will ensure your kids have a safe night as well as a fun one. There will be no rolling off the top bunk on YOUR bed!
4) Keeping the frame tight – This is essential when making a wooden frame. Make sure all the joints are tight. Loose connection will create creaking and movement that will affect the integrity of the entire support frame.
If you are interested in creating your own bunk bed, you need to get sturdy materials together. Wood, plywood, deck screws, carriage bolts, nuts, washers, wood plugs, finishing nails, lag bolts and lock washers are often used in building such beds. The number and size of the materials depend on the size of the furniture that you will be making.
Bunk beds are considered some of the best space-saving furniture construction ideas ever invented. They are excellent at freeing up space in a bedroom and children love sleeping in them. For generations, bunk beds have been the answer to depleted space in bedrooms and giving kids something fun they can enjoy having in the room of the home they share. This style of sleeping arrangement is as popular today as it ever was before, and the great thing is that bunk bed plans make it possible to construct your own custom piece of furniture. You can build as elaborately as you choose, but be sure you pick a plan that fits within your level of construction skills.
Before talking about bunk bed plans, let's discuss further the benefits and advantages of this type of bed. The most obvious advantages are: space efficient and effective room layout. They can save a lot of space within a room. Imagine this; you can use a single bed in order to accommodate two people at once, instead of using separated single beds. Imagine how much space is being saved by having this bed idea? If you can build your own set of beds, you can also enjoy additional benefits.
If you have researched correctly and found the right plans for your project then you will be able to build perfect bunk beds. They will last your children many years and will save you vast amounts of money; bunk beds aren't cheap so building them is a great alternative. Once you have finished your bunk beds you will have so much more space in your children's room.
Other things to consider are time and cost. Building two beds, of course, will take more time and increase your costs. If time and the additional money are not an issue, this can be a good way to go.
Obviously, while design is important in guaranteeing that your children will enjoy the end product, safety is number one. Your children will be sleeping on this piece of furniture. It is not like a coffee table that harms no one if a connection gives way. Your children could be seriously injured if you select poor bunk bed plans to build from. Mattress frames should be sturdy, the ladder should be attached properly and all connections should be tightly screwed into place. Taking these precautions will protect that which is most precious to you.

"Kids have personality," we reasoned, "their clothes should too." Our vision was built on high quality kids' and baby clothes that were designed by mothers, not corporations. These creations were full of gorgeous colors, textures and spirit. Kids loved wearing these clothes and parents loved owning them.

1940s clay poker chips, 1920s crystal doorknobs
San Diego Reader Classified ads, December 11, 2019
3 p.m., Dec. 11
Mary Smith sat here. So did a lot of her ladies of the night. So did the mayor of San Diego. They say he was a client. But that was the Gilded Age. It was the 1800s. It wasn't uncool.
We're in deepest Stingaree.
Me, I'm sitting in the sun on this cute little patio with iron grilles and flower boxes. I look at the windows above, where the ladies would hang out and burble "Hey, good-lookin,' come up and see us sometime." 'Course, Mary had to approve. She was the madam.
Same building, same street. Century later. That's what I love about this part of town. It's creaking with history.
416 Third Avenue, Downtown San Diego
But it was the name that stopped me. I'd spotted the sign swinging in the wind as I was coming up Third Avenue. "Lazy Hippo," it reads, "Breakfast and lunch."
And what I like is instead of being all stark and woody, like so many coffee-brekky places, it's full of old lanterns, dolls and plants, and knickknacks on the wall. Columns of mauve and black. Patio tables of blue mosaic. Olde curiosity shoppe feel.
Other thing I like is — a breakfast place in the Gaslamp? Tells me one thing: a lot of folk aren't just coming here, they're actually living here. Because, it's a pretty quiet street. Not exactly crowds sluicing past. Stingaree it ain't no mo'.
Whatever. The craving is upon me. Problem: it's almost two in the afternoon. I head inside, past the silver wall lanterns to see if someone's still working back there.
They have about a dozen tables. Wooden, with butcher's paper tablecloths. Kinda cute purple highlights to the cream walls. Lots of fairy lights. Plus hanging lamps, boxes with dolls, bird houses, fruit miniatures, drawings, old milk ads ("Conserve water. Drink milk"). Or bons mots like, "When I said 'I do,' I didn't mean dishes." And, "I like my coffee how I like myself: dark, bitter, and too hot for you."
This is when the gal appears. Name's Sierra. (Why Sierra? "Because my dad took us up to live in the Sierra Nevada when I was about two. I grew up in snow.") I ask if they can still do brekky. "I'll find out," she says, and disappears. I have time to read one more sign ("Many people have eaten my cooking and gone on to lead normal lives.") She comes back.
"Yes," she says.
All right! So, back out to a patio table and a serious menu-check. Hmm... Gaslamp prices: Most breakfast items run around $11, $12. A ham-and-cheese omelet's $11.95, the "Meat Lover's" omelet, with ham, bacon, and sausage, is $12.95. Plus Benedicts all cost $12.95; like the "Bacon Benny," with two poached eggs, hollandaise on English muffins plus spuds.
'Course — dang! I see they have a breakfast happy hour. You get two eggs, one bacon and toast for $4.95. But happy hour goes from 8-10 a.m.
Specials right now come under the "2, 2, 1": like, 2 eggs, 2 meat (bacon, sausage, or ham), one pancake and country potatoes for $11.95; or 2 eggs, 2 meat, half a waffle, and country potatoes ($13.95). Or, huevos rancheros with 2 eggs and ham on 2 fried tortillas covered in salsa ranchera and crema plus refried black beans ($12.95). So, regular prices.
Now another lady, Lais, is standing beside me with an order pad. D'uh, I order the meat-lover omelet ($12.95). And a coffee, natch. Costs $2.75 with refills. But it's Café Moto roasted. Really good. And comes in a big fluted cup.
So, I'm gonna be a Jackson down. Still, I rate this a find. I settle back to enjoy the scene out here.
People still turning up. Sandy, with Lizzy, her little toy poodle. John, with his Maltese poodle, Merlin. Regulars. When Sierra appears with coffee for Sandy, she brings treats for the dogs, too.
So, what would they eat here? Sandy and John say the same: the lemon-ricotta waffle (with "ricotta-infused batter drizzled with raspberry sauce topped with a scoop of mascarpone cheese," as the menu says). Cost: $9.75.
Dang. Wished I'd spotted it in time.
Still, my omelet's plentiful, cheesy, and stuffed with the meats. Love the sautéed potatoes and the sautéed spinach. And the strawberry preserves on the sourdough toast set up the perfect balance to the savory thing going on.
Another missed opportunity: too late, I notice the sandwich board on the sidewalk reads, "Join us from 8:00–2:00 p.m. for our weekday specials for just $4.99!" I ask Lais about it. "That's a menu, mainly for our regulars. We have a breakfast and lunch item each day. Today's was chilaquiles for breakfast and mac 'n' cheese or soup and salad for lunch. But you must ask for the special."
Dang again.
I didn't even get into the lunch menu. Starts off with a $3 soup of the day and queso fundido with chorizo ($8.25) through burgers ($12), sandwiches (like the chicken-walnuts, $13), and jicama tacos (four chicken or beef) for $10.25.
And it turns out you can get grog here. "My husband Alex owns this and the Whiskey House next door. So, we can serve wine, beer, whiskey, anything, from eight in the morning on."
Oh, man. That's it. Next time it's gonna be a lunch. Maybe the $4.99, plus nice li'l glass of vino to help raise the ghosts of Mary Smith and her ladies of the night.
As I leave, I find myself checking those upper windows again. You never know...

RUNTUNA, Sweden — The cries of "Hell!" "Hell!" ringing out across a snow-clad landscape attracted a curious crowd of weekend tobogganers. At the foot of an ancient Viking burial mound, one of the prime sledding spots near the Swedish village of Runtuna, a circular gathering of pagan worshipers was completing a sacrificial ceremony.
The religious service involved a wooden hammer held aloft, various invocations to Norse deities and ceremonial drinking from two large black horns, one brimming with beer, the other with nonalcoholic mead. Two women led the service, which honored female Norse gods and spirits.
Several worshipers explained later that no one was referring to eternal damnation while shouting "Hell!" The group are not Satanists. Their chants, they said, were a salutation in the Old Norse language, a commonplace greeting in Sweden and other Nordic countries during the era of the Vikings, whose cultural and political peak was about a thousand years ago.
"Hell" also has echoes of the German word "Heil!" and its haunting associations with Nazi salutes.
This linguistic link forces these pagan worshipers, whose beliefs do have a strongly nationalist tilt, to disavow any connection with neo-Nazi factions.
"I am so sick of those questions," said Stenar Sonevang, the spokesman of the pagan group, the Nordic Asa Community. The chant, explained Mr. Sonevang, "has got nothing to do with the Nazis, I promise you."
Amid a boom in Viking-related TV shows and films — and a corresponding surge in Viking-inspired tourism and advertising campaigns — there is increasing political tension and social unease over the use of various runes, gods and rituals from the Viking era.
Viking symbols are often used in mainstream branding initiatives for everything from barber shops to chocolate bars to Norway's downhill ski team. One longstanding pagan group, Forn Sed, has encouraged the use of Viking symbols like a wooden Thor's hammer as an icon for gay pride.
But some use of the symbols reflects an extremist side of the Viking cultural renaissance taking hold across the Nordic region and beyond.
Avowed neo-Nazi groups like the small but violent Nordic Resistance Movement say they draw inspiration from the Viking era and have adopted elements of the region's Viking past. The group's symbol is a Viking rune on a green background.
Vikings "symbolize everything about Northern Europeans," said Haakon Forwald, a spokesman for the Norwegian chapter of the group. "We are adventurous, we take risks and settle where no man would dare to settle."
This association has put on edge everyone from tour operators who sell Viking-themed tours to the archaeologists, runologists and historians who study the Viking era, concerned that the adoption of Viking symbols by fringe groups could toxify the meaning of a brand, a museum exhibition or an act of worship.
Strong pushback has come from many corners of the Nordic countries, whether from sports fans or grass-roots organizations like "Vikings Against Racism."
That Viking symbols can be deployed in such a broad range of uses, and appeal to such a broad political spectrum, is a sign of how little is actually known about worship practices or local customs during the Viking age, said Fredrik Gregorius, an expert on religious studies and a senior lecturer at Linkoping University. This allows for an almost endless variety of interpretations of Viking culture, Dr. Gregorius said.
Per Lundberg, a spokesman for Forn Sed, pointed out that symbols are always open to interpretation, as he showed a wooden Thor's hammer that was fashioned in a more phallic shape than other iterations.
"Symbols are empty in themselves," he said. "We put meaning on to them."
Mr. Lundberg expressed concern that paganism, or heathenry, which his group had worked hard to instill with a more positive connotation, was regaining a negative association through being tied to the sort of ethnic nationalism practiced by competing groups like the Nordic Asa Community. Mr. Lundberg said membership in his group required a stated commitment against racial discrimination.
After the ceremony by the Viking burial mound concluded — with offerings beneath a fir tree of carrots, eggs, flowers, grapes and the final sloshes of leftover beer and mead — Mr. Sonevang, the Nordic Asa Community spokesman, described his organization's goal as promoting Nordic heritage and tradition.
"The more the world is in chaos, the more people are looking back to where they come from," Mr. Sonevang said. "That is where they feel safe. That is why they turn to Asatru," he added, using a word to describe the Norse religion.
Mr. Sonevang, who changed his first name to Stenar after deciding that Stefan sounded too Christian and therefore inappropriate for a pagan, formerly held positions in his local chapter of the Sweden Democrats. The staunchly anti-immigrant party is expected, according to polls, to consolidate its place in Sweden's political mainstream in an election in September. He noted that his pagan group did not take a political stance on most matters and did not require members to back any political position.
Formed in 2014, and granted its status as an official religious organization in 2016, the group claims to have over 800 members and is currently raising funds for a pagan temple, which Mr. Sonevang said would be the first in Sweden in over 1,000 years.
One point where some of the more liberal or apolitical groups embracing Norse mythology may find some surprising common ground with the nationalist or neo-Nazi adherents is in a love of nature in general, and of locally grown food in particular.
Helene Loow, a senior lecturer at the Uppsala University, and one Sweden's leading experts on fascism, said Nordic extremists connected clean food to the purity of the land, body and race.
"I have hardly met anyone from these movements, neither the old ones nor the young ones, who are not serving me organic food, and lecturing me about the dangers of fast food, the dangers of McDonald's," Ms. Loow said.
As a consequence, a neo-Nazi group like the Nordic Resistance Movement is occasionally represented at local farmers' markets. "When people meet them in real life, they are not their media image. People get surprised. They are nice, they are talkative, they offer you a lot of good food," she said.
"It's the same trick," she added, "that extremists play everywhere: Build on local trust."
