SOZOPOL, Bulgaria, Dec. 6 — Bulgarian fishermen for hundreds of years have celebrated their feast on Dec. 6, holding solemn ceremonies and banquets with fish as the main dish.
The holiday, called Saint Nicholas Day, or Nikulden, is also celebrated in the Balkan country in honor of Saint Nicholas who, according to a legend, has rescued a leaky ship, plugging the hole with live carp.
In Bulgaria, Saint Nicholas Day is quite different from the festival in Belgium and the Netherlands. Saint Nicholas is regarded as the patron, protecting sailors and fishermen rather than a bringer of gifts.
The feast marks also the end of autumn fishing season.
Petar Vasilev, an owner of fishing vessels at the ancient southern Bulgarian Black Sea port of Sozopol, told Xinhua that fishermen honored their comrades who were lost at sea, and everyone wished rich fertility of the fish and safe fishing on this day.
Local priest goes to the ships and sprinkles them with holy water for health, fertility, and success, Vasilev said.
After the blessing of the priest on Friday morning, hundreds of people climbed aboard the ships at the port of Sozopol. There they ate fish and other dishes and drank wine accompanied by songs about the sea.
Then a dozen ships and boats went out to sea where flower wreaths were thrown into the water on the background of red signal rockets and ship sirens.
Vasilev told Xinhua that Sozopol has kept its unique celebration traditions for many years, and it was maybe the only city along the eastern seaside of Bulgaria that sends boats to the sea, circling around the nearby island with some of the rituals done on board.
The festival is very important to the fishermen who make a living with fishing. However, this year seems to be very difficult for Bulgarian fishermen in the nearby fishing village called Chengene skele.
More than 1,100 boats are based in the fishing village, about one third of registered fishing boats in Bulgaria, clustered on the banks of narrow channels in front of the homes of their owners.
Filcho Haralanov said that the fish caught this year were much less than in 2012.
"Last year a hard-working fishermen caught a lot of fish, 200 to 300 kg per day each, but the price fell," Haralanov said.
The price of the belted bonito dropped from 6 to 7 BGN (4.1 to 4.9 U.S. dollars) to 2.50 to 3 BGN, he added.
Leaving 2013 aside, Dimitar Yantchev, chairman of the association of fishermen in this village, said that 2012 gave hope to local fishermen also because a traditional kind of fish came again.
"Mackerel, for our great surprise, occasionally appeared here last autumn, which gave us hope that things would get better, as it was the main kind of fish for the Black Sea. Although last year it appeared occasionally, fishermen took pictures to verify that they caught mackerel," Yantchev said.
Yantchev also said that Italian tourism experts went to the fishing village earlier this year and thought the place has a great potential to be an attracting tourist destination with its unique scenery as a second Venice.[db:内容2]

The best restaurants near the 606
The 606 cuts through some of Chicago's best dining areas, so hop off and dig into seafood, Korean food and more
Sure, the 606 connects a number of Chicago communities, reinvents a disused industrial eyesore as family-friendly public space, and adds miles of bikeable and hikeable terrain to our city's park system. But it's also a pathway linking a whole host of great dining spots. Here are some of the best Bloomingdale Trail-adjacent Chicago restaurants, from a top-notch burger joint to Italian classics to cheap food like cheerful Costa Rican fare.
RECOMMENDED: Our complete guide to the 606
Restaurants near the 606
The theme here is "simple, unpretentious Midwestern fare," but expect nothing but big flavors from dishes that might sound unassuming on the page. Must-order plates include the fried uni shooters, Jonah crab salad with waffle fries, saffron tagliatelle with king crab and pecan-smoked baby back ribs. You can't go wrong here, but you will want to make a reservation if you're planning on nabbing a seat in the small space on a busy weekend night.
Club Lucky
Tucked away on a residential stretch of Wabansia in a building that allegedly served as a Prohibition-era speakeasy, this retro-looking supper club has been a neighborhood go-to for unpretentious red sauce fare since 1990. Hunker down in one of the family-friendly dining room's swanky scarlet vinyl booths and dig into Italian-American standards like eggplant parmigiana, veal marsala and chicken vesuvio.
En Hakkore
The cute-as-a-button British tea room aura here belies a menu of decidedly un-dainty Korean fusion fare. There's bibimbap loaded with jewel-toned shredded vegetables and a protein such as barbecue beef, sashimi or tofu, and tasty sides like japchae, sesame oil-scented sweet potato noodles. But the headliner is a gargantuan spicy pork taco served up on flaky paratha flatbread; it's a two-hander, and it's delicious.
Humboldt Haus Sandwich Bar
This no-frills sandwich shop, appended to the corner liquor store that shares its name, is something of a hidden gem. Order up a basic but tasty sub, featuring a range of meaty combos tucked into supremely crusty bread, and head across the street for lunch with a side of Humboldt Park loveliness, or stick around and wet your whistle with a selection from the 20-strong rotating draft list.
Dos Urban Cantina
Topolobampo alums Brian Enyart and Jennifer Jones Enyart deliver inventive Mexican food like carnitas crowned with cabbage and grilled mushrooms and sweet chestnut corn bread anchored in earthy red mole. Finish off your meal with glazed plantains and queso fresco over cajeta, and sip on the Rosita, a Negroni reimagined with tequila and Amargo-Vallet bitters.
With its laid-back beach shack vibe and BYOB friendliness, Irazu is one of those places where the atmosphere nearly outdoes the food. Turn up with a group of friends and your drink of choice and settle in for an evening of boisterous conversation and unfussy Costa Rican fare (think empanadas, grilled meats, rice and beans and lots of plantains). Oh, and save room for dessert; the cinnamon-scented oatmeal shake is arguably the restaurant's tastiest offering.
Miko's Italian Ice
There's a great nostalgic quality to this seasonal spot, sunken just below street level, where styrofoam cups of Italian ice are passed to customers through a walkup window. On balmy summer evenings, lines here are inevitable, and no wonder: The fruit-infused ice is lightly sweet, so smooth as to be almost creamy, and super refreshing, making it the perfect finish to a leisurely stroll.
The fast-casual offshoot of Osteria Langhe, Animale is open for lunch and dinner with house-made pastas, a rotating burger of the month, panini, entrees and dessert. But you'll want to focus your calories on the carbs—pasta can be ordered by the gram (133, 227 or 453 grams) and smothered in pesto, primavera, ragu di carne and puttanesca bianca.
Small Cheval
As the name implies, this is an offshoot of Au Cheval, and the menu is inspired by the restaurant's most famous item—the cheeseburger. It isn't the exact same burger, but enumerating the differences feels like splitting hairs. The rest of the menu is short and sweet: Toss in golden fries and pick your poison (beer, select classic cocktails, shakes and shots). If it's nice outside, grab a seat on the expansive dog-friendly patio and stay a while.
El Nuevo Borinquen
Though Juan C. Figueroa, putative father of Chicago's famed jibarito (or plantain sandwich), no longer owns this California Avenue joint, it's still possible to get a good rendition of his signature dish here. Opt for the tender roasted pork or steak varieties, both satisfyingly salty and dressed with crunchy iceberg lettuce, American cheese, sliced tomato and a dollop of cool garlic mayo. Since a jibarito gone soggy is a very sad sandwich indeed, pull up a chair in the rambling dining room and dig in while the plantain "bread" is still hot from the fryer.
Osteria Langhe
This simply appointed yet intimate (read: good for dates) spot specializes in the cuisine of Piemonte, one of Italy's most northwesterly regions. Don't know the top of the boot from the toe? Expect rich dishes like vitello tonnato (poached beef with crispy egg and tuna aioli), agnello (lamb and green olive tortelloni with pomegranate, mint, almonds and feta) and tajarin (a traditional egg noodle in meat ragù), along with an extensive selection of Piemontese wines.
Roeser's Bakery
One of Chicago's oldest family-run businesses has operated out of the same storefront, distinguished today by its vertical neon sign and quaint painted lady facade, since its establishment in 1911. Today it's a good all-arounder, with doughnuts and danish for breakfast, and a wide selection of cake slices and cookies (many in Chicago sports team motifs) for dessert.

Matt Arnold
Excalibur Hotel and Casino
Las Vegas, Nevada
"Matt Arnold"
The first sightings of the Excalibur excellence told us that we were in for a tasty treat! The premises is ginormous with more than everything we'd need for our trip, from the bright casino settings to the long list of stores and restaurants as part of even more on the strip. I first found it tough to navigate round but the goosebumps it filled me with made this easier. Staff are always attentive and go the extra mile to help, access to the boulevard is easy and looks extremely picturesque by sunset. The larger pool was closed due to I think seasonal works but the spa facility was a lovely make up for it. Bar drinks are lovely and refillable, plus the weather ticked every box! Would love to return in the future ????

Administrator basics when starting a Proposal
As you get started on the Proposal Outline in the Administrator role, it's important to know the basics as you begin collaborating with your team.
In this article we'll cover:
- Basic Navigation
- Applying Filters to View the Question Status and Assignment
- Assigning Writing/Approving Tasks
- Using the knowledge library to Respond
Getting Started: Basic Navigation
Use the sections navigation on the left-hand side to click through the different sections. The counters help you see how many questions are completed out of the total.
(i.e. 2/7 means there are seven questions in the section and two have been fully approved).
While working your proposal, the center pane will show all the response statuses and assignees:
Want to learn more about the phrases of working a proposal? See this article here to view the various response statuses.
Applying Filters to View the Question Status and Assignment
Tasks may also be filtered to see only tasks belonging to an individual and/or desired statuses to narrow results.
Assigning Writing/Approving Tasks
Once you've uploaded your Proposal or accepted an invitation to participate in an RFP or Profile, one of the next steps is to assign writing or approving tasks to your team members based on their areas of expertise.
There are a couple of options including assigning a whole section at a time or an individual question one at a time.
At the Section Level:
To do this, click on the Section name at the top middle of the page. On the right-hand panel, you can select the writer and approver. You can also set due dates. After making your sections, click the button to update. You'll see the writer/approver user initials change for all of the impacted questions.
You can check in to specific questions to ensure the changes were made. Your new writers will be notified via email.
At the Question Level:
Likewise, if you need to assign out an individual question, click directly on the question, which will highlight that question's area, and simply repeat the same selection process in the action menu off to the right. The icons that indicate status and task owners for that particular question will update and reflect your changes.
At either level, the Writer/Approver and Due Date for task emails to be sent may be set. If the User you wish to include on your account does not exist yet, you can press the Add a User button to add them on the fly.
Using the knowledge library to Respond
Automatically, the knowledge library is performing a keyword search, looking at the question to find any related results.
The default setting on an account is to save new content to the knowledge library automatically to build out your library organically behind the scenes. New content means that you didn't use the search engine to copy responses out of the knowledge library. This could be content you authored or copied from an external source.
When you use content out of the knowledge library, the Save to knowledge base button turns itself OFF...so we don't have duplicates.

Nearing 80 years of age, Pastor Gary is riding his Harley, running in Marine Corps marathons, and beating out the competition in billiards tournaments. He is a preacher who brings the grace of God into the most unexpected places. In my life, I have been privileged to call him "Uncle Gary" as he was married to my Aunt Judy for 29 years.
Because of his influence, I grew to know God in such a personal way. He taught me so much; for example, how to share Jesus in my day-to-day life, how to have grace for myself and for others, and how much Jesus loves me. Also, he has done the same for others. He has touched countless lives by sharing the hope of Jesus by going where people need to hear the Gospel the most.
After living near Washington, D.C. for over 20 years with his wife and dedicating their lives to their local ministry, Aunt Judy and Uncle Gary bought a farm. They wanted to enjoy their golden years in a place where they longed for most in life. However, after decades of marriage, he lost his wife to kidney failure. Understandably, he took the loss of his best friend, his constant cheerleader, and his life partner extremely hard.
Wanting to retreat from the city, Gary searched to find solace in their country home. He told the "Man" upstairs, "That's it. It's just you and me, God. I'm moving to this farm. I need to heal. I don't want to preach, teach, or do anything other than just be with You." Yet, God had other plans. Pastor Gary might have moved to the farm—to get away from the busyness of the city and the people— but God had other plans such as bringing people who needed to hear the truth of Christ. Consequently, these people God brought into his life are now around Pastor Gary's kitchen table. That table is where we meet Gary Ehlert – on the farm.
The sun was beginning to set behind the horizon on that beautiful farm in West Virginia when a cloud of dust barreling up the road reminded Gary that he had failed to prevent entrance to his property. Remembering, he thought, "Oh no, I forgot to lock the gate." The truck, oblivious to its unwanted presence, kept coming towards the house.
Sauntering from his haphazard parking spot and heading up to the front porch, the man called out, "Hey there, neighbor! I just told the missus that I was gonna go up there and see that preacher. I brought some ham and bean soup. She's a pretty good cook, if I say so myself. I hope you don't mind." My uncle replies, "No, no – of course not. Please come in."
Polite, obligatory conversation ensued. The neighbor asks, "Have you been getting acquainted?"
My uncle responds, "I've been trying out the local churches."
"There's some good ones 'round here. Have you been to the one up on the corner?"
Answering my uncle said, "I sure have. The people seemed nice. I liked it there."
"I've been told I can't join there because I'm not married to my woman, so I don't go anymore."
Pastor Gary replied, "Oh, I see. Well, how long have you been living together?"
"15 years."
"Have you been faithful?"
"Oh, yes sir!"
"Did you love her?"
"About as much as a man could."
Pastor Gary shares, "I have some good news for you neighbor. You might not be welcomed in some church buildings, but the real Church isn't made up of a big old building. The real Church is made up of people who have chosen to love and follow Jesus – and there is no pre-requisite to be able to attend that church." When my uncle talks about Jesus, there's a spark in his eyes; people who come in contact with him see that Light. He can't help it. It comes from a genuine love of God and love of others. He loves to tell people the truth of the Gospel.
The neighbor seemed flabbergasted that Jesus Christ might actually accept him, despite his "living in sin." Pastor Gary went on to explain how we all have sinned and no one is perfect – not even after they become Christians – on their own accord. "You see, even though the flesh will always continue to sin and desire sin, the Lord has made us perfect and righteous in His eyes, once we accept the gift that Jesus gave us by dying for us."
One can almost see the neighbor's eyes growing wide and then misting as the revelation flows over him. Jesus loves him – as he is. Jesus will make him perfect – first in the spirit when he believes and then in the flesh beginning here on earth (although we still struggle with sins born from human nature) and finishing the work when he is home with Christ in heaven.
"I feel like I've been talking to an angel" the neighbor utters with a sense of awe.
Laughing it off, Pastor Gary comments, "I'm no angel. The message sounds angelic, but the messenger is always as messed up as you."
The time came for the neighbor to go home – back to the missus. His parting words came thoughtfully from the open door of his truck, "You got me thinking about God, you know."
In his typically casual and insightful way, Pastor Gary responded, "Well, that's what you came for, isn't it?"
Walking inside his home and closing the door, he chuckles to himself. Pastor Gary said out loud to no one in particular other than the Lord of all the earth, "I get it God. I can run, but I can't hide."
2 Comments
Hello Rachael – I greatly enjoyed your story. I was "looking" to find the Ehlerts after not seeing them for nearly two decades. Gary married me and Walter Ramsay in 1997. It was a small wedding at our home, since Walter had terminal cancer. The only guests were Walter's one child Sean, and Judy, who I recruited as the photographer!. (I wish I had a CD of her singing; she was a huge draw to my ear and heart when I discovered and joined Gary's SDA Alexandria VA congregation). Walter died 7 months later and – although deep down I'm a rock – life has been challenging emotionally and physically, so I've had less contact with many wonderful friends. For years, I wanted to leave the DC area, and last year, I finally decided where and moved to Prescott Arizona. I would be grateful to get Gary's contact information so I can say hello. My contact information is [email protected] or 703-477-4533. Most gratefully, Leslie (Leslie Sorg Ramsay)
My father was a friend of Gary's in the marine corp and he would like to contact him. I can be reached at [email protected]

Learning Ally Introduces Personalized Support Services for Parents of Children with Dyslexia
Press Releases
August 28, 2013 by
Doug Sprei (LAE)
Parent Ally is an extensive suite of new resources for parents of children who struggle to read because of a learning disability
Learning Ally
, a nonprofit organization supporting 300,000 students across the U.S., is rolling out a new set of services for parents of children who have learning and reading based disabilities with customized resources to manage their educational and personal needs. Since it was founded in 1948, Learning Ally has traditionally served families and schools with the world's largest digital library of accessible, human-narrated audio textbooks and literature titles. The new parent support service, called
Parent Ally
, was developed after years of exhaustive studies focusing on the experiences and urgent needs of families of students with dyslexia and learning disabilities. "Parent Ally is the result of research and conversations with thousands of parents who know the challenges involved in searching for solutions to their children's reading struggles," says
Andrew Friedman
, Learning Ally's President and CEO. "Until today, there was no service offering truly personalized parent-to-parent support and insight around dyslexia. For parents seeking help, it is hugely empowering to hear from another parent of a child with learning differences who can say, 'I've been there before and know what you're feeling. Here is what worked for me.' These new services fill a critical information gap for parents and get them to the point of helping their children find success much faster." The new Parent Ally offerings include:
Parent Support Specialists:
One-on-one phone consultations between parents and a team of highly trained professionals in a learning disability-related field, who are themselves parents with firsthand experience raising children with dyslexia and print disabilities. Drawing on many backgrounds, the team of Parent Support Specialists includes family advocates, attorneys, teachers, and certified tutors. Their diversity provides a large knowledge base to help parents find resources and tools that address their particular situation.
Member-only webinars
A regular series of interactive parent training sessions, presented by some of the foremost experts in the field of dyslexia and learning disabilities. These sessions feature small audience sizes and offer extensive opportunities for parents to dialogue together and pose their own questions to the experts.
The Parent Framework:
Providing a pathway of proven strategies that help parents navigate the long-term challenges of raising a child with print disabilities. It includes guidance on how to both manage a child's education and develop her self-esteem and confidence.
"The results we're looking for with Parent Ally include kids who can confidently manage their school reading challenges and feel better about themselves, and families that quickly find support and relief through resources that are best suited for them," says Friedman. "I'm happy to note that early parental experiences with the program have been very encouraging." "Learning Ally and Parent Ally are helping to make middle school a little less scary," reports Amy W., who recently participated in an interactive member webinar on identifying dyslexia. Dorrie P., the mother of a dyslexic middle schooler in Maryland, says: "Learning Ally has literally changed our daughter's life. We were able to get the right accommodations put into her 504 plan; she has become successful in school, and we feel like her future is very bright. This experience has taken away a lot of frustration and stress from the entire family." Parent Ally is included as part of the standard Learning Ally audiobook service membership for free through October 31. For more information visit the
Parent Ally
resource section on Learning Ally's website.
About Learning Ally™
Founded in 1948 as Recording for the Blind, Learning Ally serves over 300,000 K-12, college and graduate students, as well as veterans and lifelong learners – all of whom cannot read standard print due to blindness, visual impairment, dyslexia, or other learning disabilities. Learning Ally's collection of more than 80,000 digitally recorded human-read textbooks and literature titles – featuring a heavy emphasis on STEM resources – is delivered through internet downloads, assistive technology devices, and mainstream devices like iPhone and iPad, and is the largest of its kind in the world. Thousands of volunteers across the U.S. help to record and process the educational materials, which students rely on to achieve academic and professional success. Learning Ally, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is partially funded by grants from state and local education programs, and the generous contributions of individuals, foundations and corporations.

Guardian Ad Litem (GAL)
Guardian Ad Litem in Ansonia, Milford, Orange, Stratford, Seymour, Oxford, Woodbridge, Bethany, Woodbury, Southbury, Waterbury, Shelton, Bridgeport, Fairfield, Trumbull, Monroe, New Haven, Hamden, North Haven, North Branford, Branford, Westport, Wilton, Weston, Easton, Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Stamford, Greenwich.
In cases where the Court feels the interests of a divorcing couple's minor child or children are not easy to discern, the judge may appoint a "guardian ad litem." The task of the guardian ad litem is to investigate on behalf of the Court the family circumstances, and if necessary, to take legal or other appropriate action to defend the interests of such children.
Courts in Connecticut take the matter of child welfare very seriously, and may appoint a trained social worker or licensed attorney versed in family law to ensure the safety and well-being of children whose parents are at legal odds with each other.
Shelton-based attorney Carmina (Tessitore) Hirsch has a great deal of experience with this system as it works in Fairfield and New Haven County. She is an important resource for the Connecticut court system both in serving as a guardian ad litem in extraordinary circumstances that require legal expertise, and in recommending or working with guardians ad litem in cases where her client is a party to a divorce action or has a legal interest in the welfare of a child whose parents are ending their marriage.
Investigations requested by the Court may be very intrusive and very thorough, as the State has an interest in making sure that children are not subject to abusive or cruel treatment during the extremely stressful separation and divorce process. A parent who loses the trust of the Court pursuant to the investigation of a guardian ad litem will have a hard time gaining or retaining custody and visitation rights with respect to their children.
During a divorce, heated words are exchanged, and many of these exchanges include accusations that may be completely unfair or even false. Children may be used as a bargaining chip to gain increased alimony or other settlement advantages.
If you live in Westport, Danbury, Stamford, Bridgeport or any of the other surrounding localities, and you are facing a child custody or visitation dispute where the judge has decided to appoint a guardian ad litem, you need to retain the services of an attorney who can advise you on how to weather the investigation successfully, so that you will be able to continue your relationship with your child on terms acceptable to you.
In Fairfield County, there is no better family law attorney than Carmina (Tessitore) Hirsch, who has consistently been voted by her peers one of Connecticut's leading attorneys in divorce law and family law. As an officer of the Court she recognizes that one of her primary responsibilities is to protect the safety and well-being of children whose fates are being adjudicated. If the evidence is overwhelming that a parent presents a danger to his or her child, the path for the Court is clear; if, on the other hand, there is reason to believe that her client is being unfairly maligned or dispossessed of parental rights, she will move heaven and earth to reach a fair and equitable settlement in her client's favor and or take the matter to trial if settlement is not an option.
You may have a crystal-clear conscience with regard to your fitness and suitability as a parent, but a hard-charging spouse backed by an aggressive legal team will eat you alive if you and your attorney have no idea how to deal with a Court-appointed guardian ad litem. If your children are important to you, the best move you can make is to hire a top-notch legal advocate to represent your interests. "Super Lawyer" Carmina (Tessitore) Hirsch and her team have the experience and the savoir-faire necessary to present your case both to the judge and to the judge's designated investigators in a manner that gives you a chance to prevail.

Forgetting to change smite/runes
Okay so I swapped lane with the jungle from top, but forgot smite. And it's not possible to play with out smite, I was thinking riot should add so the first minute everyone can swap summoner if they haven't been in combat and if they swap, enemy's get a message so people can't abuse it for other reasons. Allso the same thing should apply to runes. That people can change that first minute if they haven't been in combat. This would be rly good backup plan for when u forget or the client locks :)

Beaumont/Port Arthur
'The Boss Baby'
Starring: Alec Baldwin, Steve Buscemi
Directed by: Tom McGrath
Rated: PG
There is something inherently funny about a baby dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, especially if the baby has the voice of Alec Baldwin. From the animation team at DreamWorks comes this clever and creative animated movie with a thoughtful premise.
Bad things can happen in deep space. We know this because films like "Alien" and the many other sci-fi horror films it inspired have engineered all kinds of extraterrestrial creatures to prey on mankind. "Life" succeeds better than about 90 percent of those due to its relentless claustrophobia and a twist ending that director Daniel Espinosa insisted on before he agreed to make the movie.
This tale as old as time gets an extravagant makeover in the live action version that Disney is poised to make box office history with this weekend. Bill Condon, the director, goes full tilt and it's as overdone as Neil Simon plays in community theater.
What a throwback in time—literally as one of filmdom's most awesome monsters is resurrected for what is a fresh take on a timeworn genre. King Kong, or just Kong here, has been around since the silent films, but just when you think you've seen it all, the fog bank enshrouding Skull Island parts and the fun begins.
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart
Directed by: James Mangold
Rated: R
This franchise might be aging, but don't count it out. At least, not with this installment that is equal parts brutal and poignant to the point that, hold on, tears might be shed. Fair warning, X-Men fans.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Trends at Spring High Point Market
Sondra Hannan and Lydia Mason ventured off to this year's Spring Furniture Market in High Point, NC to explore the vast array of showrooms providing a first look at new releases as well as the latest design trends. As always we were in search of new vendors and unique pieces to bring back to Tampa Bay Furnishings in St. Petersburg, FL. While browsing the showrooms, we couldn't help but notice certain recurring items and themes that lay the foundation for this year's design trends. Here are some highlights of our visit that will surely add excitement to any interior.
Can anyone say acrylic? Once popular in the 1960s and 1970s, acrylic furniture is making a comeback in a big way providing a clean and sophisticated look. We saw acrylic added to decor in a number of ways from subtle accent as sofa and ottoman feet all the way to whole pieces such as chairs and tables providing a clean, modern look. What we found most exciting were pieces that combined acrylic with a natural component such as the desk pictured below that combines acrylic with a live edge waterfall top to balance the rustic with a modern feel.
Green is here to stay! Though green was the color of last year, it is still popular as providing a bold statement for whole furniture pieces to a subtle accent with pillows and throws. Rich emerald greens and deep pine greens graced sofas, pillows and chairs. Hints of pastels also showed here and there.
Ottomans and more ottomans! Ottomans were another dominant theme that stole the show with their unmatched versatility. Large square ottomans were a popular sight and used in lieu of cocktail tables to provide more real estate for putting your feet up or providing additional seating for guests in a pinch. WE also saw ottomans used to add bold pops of color to a room and in some cases smaller ottomans were clustered together to provide an interesting look along with added utility. Of course there were a number of ottoman options that achieve all of the above as well as provide internal storage.
It is always interesting to see what new styles and colors are introduced and fun to see which ones will become trends in the coming years. Just as in clothing, some trends work great for your style and others not so much. We keep trends in mind but love bringing out YOUR style.

Anyway, I HAD a lot of D. adelae, until I went to my grandmas. Nothing happened there, but whne I got home, I forgot about them and they boiled in the sun. However, my Grandma insisted on taking 2 of the plantlets before I left. She gave them back to me in less then good state(giving them tap water etc. etc.)...but they're alive. They have the little runner attached...and are pretty good sized.
Question is:
They seem to have "frozen" in growth right now. The newest leaves arent unfurling, and the rest of the leaves look a bit limp. I've been keeping them both moist and in the original pot. Anything else I should do?

Winter Blahs, Blues and Behaviours
- 27
- Jan
As we get closer to February I find myself feeling more and more blah. I remind myself that the days are getting longer and that we are getting closer to spring each day, but the cold, dull days really start to get to me by February. Fortunately I have a birthday in the middle of the month so I've learned to look forward to that.
I've really had to search to find ways to feel better during these cold dark months. I've found that going for a drive on a sunny day helps, especially with a piping hot cup of Starbucks, as does planning my gardens for spring and researching summer get aways.
Last year I decided to enjoy the remaining days of winter by looking for movies I've wanted to watch and having "movie nights" in my cuddly, warm pyjamas in front of the fire. I usually don't have a hard time convincing my husband and ten year old son to join me, especially if I offer hot chocolate.
I also took up "birding" last year as a hobby. I am surprised by how interested I have become in bird behaviour, especially in the winter months. I am so focused on making sure there is food in the feeder and water in my heated bird bath, that I go out early each morning to replenish the supply. It really is amazing to me that those tiny little beings can survive in the -15 weather we've had, not to mention the crazy winds. In fact, I feel fortunate to have a warm, shelter to sleep in when I wonder where the birds sleep at night and how they stay warm. Feeling grateful and fortunate in these short, dull months is an improvement in my mood in and of itself.
And finally, cooking things that only "make sense" to me in the winter months, like chilly, soup and muffins, that create a heavenly scent in the house, make me feel better for awhile.
So, if like me, you count the days until spring, and watch your mood improve with the presence of the sun and the warmer temperatures, know that as we move toward and through February, that spring is right around the corner and that the long cold days of winter will soon be behind us.
So snuggle up in your PJ's with a hot drink on these chilly days. Try to get out into the sunshine when you can and allow it to lead you gently into spring.

Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kenya Moore stunned fans and cast members alike when she married restaurateur Marc Daly earlier this summer.
There was no indication that Moore was in a serious relationship that would result in an elopement, considering she was dating Matt Jordan.
Moore's surprising nuptials aren't deemed the real deal by some of her cast members and they are reportedly looking to expose it as a sham.
"Kim Zolciak, Sheree Whitfield, and Nene Leakes are the ring leaders in searching for the truth behind Kenya Moore's shocking elopement earlier this year," an insider told Radar Online.
"After Kim and Kenya got into a heated altercation at Nene Leakes' house, Kim has made it her priority to find proof that Kenya's wedding was just a publicity stunt instead of actual nuptials."
The insider added: "At a recent taping, the RHOA cast grilled Kenya about the details of her relationship and why she chose to wed after being single for so long. The group consensus is that her marriage was never recorded and that she does not have a wedding license. Kenya feels the entire ordeal was instigated by Kim in retaliation for their blow-up at Sheree's housewarming party last year, where she took shots at her husband, Kroy."
As previously reported, Zolciak and Moore, 46, were involved in a heated discussion that nearly ended in a physical altercation between the two had it not been for security detail provided.
The source of their spat is said to be Moore slamming Zolciak for bartering her daughter for John Legend tickets. Zolciak has said she was being cheeky and would never prostitute her teen daughter.
The source concluded by: "Additionally, Kenya confronted Nene, who did not come to her defense regarding the rumors, causing a rift between the two. Nene has made it very clear this season she is not tolerating anyone who steps out of line with her during filming. Thus far, she has had intense spats with both Kenya and Porsha."
Moore's controversial wedding to Daly in St. Lucia wasn't captured by BravoTV cameras. Producers considered firing Moore for failure to disclose her wedding to the team but it looks to be they have decided to keep her on.
Moore or her new husband have commented on the rumors swirling around their union.

I am not a big one to set "Resolutions" as I feel like that term conjures feelings of changes that will be forgotten just a few weeks into the new year. However, I do like to use the start of a new year as a time to reflect upon my goals. So, I recently sat down and thought about what I really hope to accomplish in 2017, and just as importantly the steps I will take to make those goals a reality. I set four 2017 Health and Wellness Goals and also four Personal and Business Goals (coming in another post soon) and felt like 8 goals was plenty – any more than that and I worried they would get a bit too overwhelming.
So, I am sharing my 2017 Health and Wellness Goals with you today, and the three strategies I am using to meet each goal, not only so you can see where I am headed this year, but also for my own accountability.
2017 Health and Wellness Goals
Medical = get healthier and learn to manage my Leaky Gut and other issues
– stay 100% gluten free (I've been bad and sneaking in small cheats)
– continue to see my Functional Medicine Doctor
– visit my sports med chiro for ART (Active Release Techniques) every 2 weeks
Diet = eat better overall, less junk!
– track food daily for accountability
– work hard to control binges, find alternatives
– no late night CVS/Food Lion runs (they are right across the street from my house and sometimes, especially on weekends, I'll run across the street after dinner and come home with lots of junk!)
Fitness = get back my speed (I slowed down about 2 min a mile over the last 2 years when I got sick)
– ditch the extra 38 pounds of weight I gained
– get cleared to return to Orange Theory Fitness
– commit to my workouts – stop making excuses to skip
Mental Health = feel less mentally exhausted
– focus on getting more rest
– listen to my body when it tells me to slows down (like taking a night off blogging just to relax)
– be kind to myself and don't pressure myself so much
Let me know –
What are your 2017 Health and Wellness Goals?

Robert asks…
What are the side effects of spironolactone?
I started taking spironolactone for acne a couple weeks ago, and I was wondering what other effects it might have. I've been going to the bathroom a lot more, and I know it's often used to treat hirsutism. What else does it do? And how long should it be before I see a noticeable change in my acne?
admin answers:
Spironolactone Side Effects
Although the spironolactone side effects does not occur frequently, some side effects are mild ones that individuals can easily tolerate or can be treated by one's physician, while some are of serious kinds. Some of the common spironolactone side effects are:
* Dry mouth or thirst that are signs of dehydration
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Fatigue
* Weakness
* Loss of appetite
* Nasal congestion or sleeplessness
Besides these common spironolactone side effects, some people may experience certain side effects that are more severe in nature. In case, one has any of the following symptoms, then immediate medical attention is required:
* Muscle weakness
* Drop in heart rate
* Hyperkalemia or high levels of potassium in blood
* Breast enlargement (spironolactone side effect in men)
* Breast lumps
* Sore throat
* Extreme weakness
* Yellowing of the skin
* Irregular pulse
* Persistent cough
* Decreased sexual ability
* Alterations in the amount of urine passed daily
In some cases, individuals also develop allergic reactions like skin rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, hives, difficulty in breathing or swallowing and wheezing. These are spironolactone side effects in men and women both. However, there are certain spironolactone side effects in women which include irregular menstrual cycle and tenderness in breasts. This conditions are commonly experienced as spironolactone side effects for acne. Read more on spironolactone for acne treatment.
Spironolactone Precautions
Just having information about spironolactone side effects does not guarantee complete knowledge of the discomforts or complications that may arise due to the use of this drug. If one is prescribed this medicine, he/she should always inform the doctor in case he/she suffers from heart disease, kidney disease, liver problems, diabetes, urinary problems, allergies or sodium and potassium imbalances. The doctor should know if his patient is on steroids or any other diuretic before prescribing spironolactone to him. Aspirin may also decrease the effect of spironolactone. In case, you are buying a non prescription drug and you are not sure if it contains aspirin, confirm the presence of aspirin from the pharmacist. However, for those on spironolactone, it is always advisable to consult one's physician before taking any drug.
In case one has to undergo surgery, even if it is dental surgery, he must inform his doctor if he is using spironolactone. This medicine may increase the amount of potassium in one's blood. In case, one experiences abdominal pain, difficulty in breathing, he must stop using the medicine and contact his doctor immediately. In case, one detects lumps in his body, he should refer to his physician without any delay as this medicine can cause tumors in the body.
Women who are pregnant should be aware of the fact that the drug is harmful for the unborn child. It may also be harmful for babies who receive the drug through breast milk of the mother who has been prescribed this drug. Hence, pregnant and nursing women should avoid spironolactone or consult their physician before taking it. This drug changes fluid imbalance in the body. Hence when one stands up from lying position, he might feel dizzy. To avoid this sensation, always get up gently from a lying position.
Spironolactone is used to treat a number of ailments. However, a knowledge of spironolactone side effects is always helpful as one should contact one's doctor immediately at the slightest side effect that he may experience.
Linda asks…
Is there any way I can stop ingrown hairs and acne after shaving?
The hair on my upper neck goes every which way possible. Whenever I shave I end up getting a bunch of red bumps and what seems like acne. The spot becomes very irritated and I am not able to shave it for awhile because it's too painful. Any tips on how to prevent this? It happens whether I use a razor or electric shaver.
***just wondering… what would happen if I waxed my neck. would i still get bumps and possible acne if I attempted that?
admin answers:
Hi I'm Pedro and I work for Gillette. Pseudofolliculitis barbae, [PFB], is an inflammatory skin condition that can result from the re-entry of curved beard hairs into the skin after shaving or from the penetration of the wall of the follicle by hairs which have been cut below the skin line. I hope that the following tips can help in managing razor bumps, ensuring a more comfortable shave:
- Shave Daily: Clinical research shows that shaving daily can reduce the frequency of re-entrant hairs, which cause razor bumps.
- Prepare your skin before shaving: Hydrate the hair for three minutes with warm water and apply a moisturising shave gel or foam to help reduce the razor drag that can cause skin irritation.
- Use a good razor: Comfort is key for men with razor bumps. Select a quality razor so you can shave comfortably on a daily basis.
- Take It Easy: Use gentle strokes when shaving. The razor should do the work, not you. Shave lightly and in the direction of beard hair.
- Blade Change: Fresh blades provide a closer, smoother, more comfortable shave. Replace your blades at the first sign of dullness or discomfort.
- Condition Skin: Refresh skin after shaving to soothe and moisturise it.
- Consult Your Dermatologist: Consult your dermatologist to determine an individualised course of action for your condition. Different degrees of PFB may require different treatment plans.
I hope this helps, but can always drop me a line if you have more queries to email@example.com or follow us on Twitter @GilletteUK
Charles asks…
What is the above all best answer for acne?
Like seriously?? There's a million products out there, but man, come on! I don't have that bad of skin, just small break outs every now and then, maybe a little redness. Help a Brotha Out?
admin answers:
• Hey, I'm a dermatology student and I've dealt mostly with acne.
The treatment I've seen work over the years is Nucelle's Mandelic acid based products.
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid and is found in cleansers, moisturizers, toners. It works by killing the bacteria which causes acne. It is also able to shrink pores really well !!!
Nucelle.com is a great site and I prefer these products over store bought products..because we all know those cleansers don't work ! So give Nucelle a try, and check out their website.
Hope that helps !

[This is a review of The Legend of Korra season 3, episodes 6 and 7. There will be SPOILERS.]
Just like that, The Legend of Korra season 3 (Book 3: Change) is halfway complete, as this week's episodes feel like the calm before the storm. Family squabbles are settled, yet Zaheer's ever-menacing presence lurks in the shadows waiting to pounce.
Episodes 6 and 7, entitled 'Old Wounds' and 'Original Airbenders,' slow down the ferocious pace we've been pleasantly subjected to over the past few weeks. The dilemmas our heroes face are of a more personal and intimate nature, but that does not mean they were any less impactful.
'Old Wounds' does a marvelous job by giving viewers a look at Lin and Suyin Beifong's past. During a flashback sequence, watching Toph scold her daughters was entertaining, but also heartbreaking. Did our favorite earthbender from the original series ever find happiness? She appears to have passed her bitterness and anger on to her daughters and now she's somewhere roaming the wilds in search of enlightenment. Hopefully there is more to the story of Toph Beifong that creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are saving for a later date. Only time will tell.
While Korra's metalbending lessons and Varrick's "magnet armor" were interesting, Zaheer's persistent search for the Avatar nearly stole the show. From the bits of dialogue that we are privy to, it seems that Zaheer and his miscreants were planning to kill the president in Republic City, only to forgo their assassination attempt after they were discovered on Air Temple Island. It's still unclear why these criminals are so adamant about destroying Korra. Do you think they're working for someone else, or is this a personal crusade orchestrated solely by Zaheer?
An even greater mystery was how Zaheer knew Team Avatar was with The Metal Clan? At his encampment, we see him in deep meditation, so was he communing with the spirit world, or is there some other force at play? Henry Rollins is doing fine work by giving Zaheer the intelligent, yet frightening voice that any super-villain needs to possess. Now that he knows where to find Korra, the storm is definitely on its way.
'Original Airbenders' has to be the least memorable episode of this season, so far. That's not to say it was disappointing, only the family squabbles between Jinora, Bumi and Tenzin, were not as engaging as the Beifong plot. It's still nice to see Tenzin acknowledging his daughter's high skill level as an airbender and a potential master. Perhaps we'll see Jinora with some new tattoos before the season is over? Also, the lessons about how the bison are the original airbenders was a nice touch to end the episode. Family has always been an important aspect of The Last Airbender franchise and these two episodes are excellent examples of how well written (even in the small moments) this series can be.
We're halfway to the finale and still no clue as to what's going to happen down the line. As always, we love to see what theories you come up with. Are you pleased with how this season has been developing? Stay tuned to find out what happens next.
The Legend of Korra continues with 'The Terror Within' and 'The Stakeout' next Friday @8pm on Nickelodeon.

Kolkata: The Indian Super League (ISL) franchises are likely to have a total of eight foreign footballers in their squad and five in the playing XI from next season, it has been reliably learnt.
Sources in the know have confirmed that after a series of meetings with existing teams, the organisers of the cash-rich league have come to a decision to pay heed to India coach Stephen Constantine's wish of having more Indians in the starting line-up.
"There will be eight foreigners in a squad and five in the playing XI. This means six Indian footballers will get the opportunity. This is what they want to do from next season," an official told IANS on Tuesday.
The Football Players' Association of India (FPAI), among other things, is expected to raise the issue of six foreigners in an ISL team in the all stakeholders' meeting at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) headquarters in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
FPAI President Renedy Singh, former president and All India Football Federation (AIFF) advisor Bhaichung Bhutia will attend the conference.
"I don't think the issue will be discussed in tomorrow's meeting. It's their (ISL) internal matter. AFC has got nothing to do with it. I believe FPAI have been told about this," the source added.
Also, it will not be compulsory to have a marquee player in the side, the source said. Previously, every ISL franchise had a marquee player, generally a big name in the world of football.
The FPAI, however, denied that it has been informed about the possible changes in the rules.
"No, they have not informed us (about the reduction in number of foreign players)," FPAI General Manager Cyrus Confectioner told IANS.
This development comes on the back of Indian Super League being tipped against I-League as AIFF and IMG-R, marketing partners of the sport's governing body in the country, mull running the two leagues simultaneously until there is a merger.

- Fraud & Scam Awareness
Unfortunately, there are people that will use internet sites like ForSaleByOwner.com to run all manner of scams on users. We do all that we can to prevent the willful misuse of our platform, however; every day, the scams get more and more sophisticated. We ask that our users be cognizant of the risk and review the following basic ways to recognize and avoid being scammed.
- Recognizing and Avoiding Scams:
- Use secure, traceable transactions when making payments - Do not pay a deposit by wire transfer, prepaid money card, gift card, or other non-traditional payment method. Also, refuse to make "overpayments" and never enter into "handshake" deals without a contract.
- Don't accept suspect cashier/certified checks or money orders - Banks will process and cash the fakes, then hold you responsible.
- Never give out financial or personally identifiable information - This includes banking and credit card information, your birthdate, Social Security/Social Insurance Numbers, PayPal account etc.
- Suspicious communications - Watch for parties communicating using poor grammar, spelling or those who send nonsensical messages. Be wary of parties that are only willing to text/email and those that will never speak on the phone or that refuse to meet in person. Generally these people will claim to be "travelling" and unavailable to talk or located in a foreign country and unable to speak other than via text or email.
- Deals Too Good to be True - If the list price is obviously too low, or the terms are too generous as compared to the market, it's likely a scam.
- Don't be pressured to act immediately - Scammers typically try to make you think a listing is in high demand in order to push you into immediate action without consulting family, friends, or financial advisors. Say no to high pressure sales tactics.
- Who Should I notify about fraud or scam attempts?
- Internet Fraud Complaint Center
- FTC complaint form and hotline: 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357)
- Consumer Sentinel/Military (for armed service members and families)
- If you are defrauded by someone you met in person, contact your local police department.
- If you suspect that a listing posted here may be connected to a scam, please send us the details at email@example.com or call us at 888–FOR–SALE.
