The Case of Lauren & ETHAN: An Argument on the Brink of Disaster is Saved by 4 Magic Words
Lauren listened as her husband Ethan described his frustration with her criticizing and correcting him when he was giving their 2-year old son a bath that evening.
"You always have to make these comments about what I'm doing wrong and how I should be doing it differently," he said in an exasperated tone. "It's so frustrating! And you wonder why I don't help out more. You always have to criticize everything I do."
Lauren immediately felt a surge of anger and felt a strong impulse to defend herself. She could think of plenty of times when she didn't criticize him or tell him to do something differently with their son. She wanted to set the record straight and tell him about all of those instances to prove how wrong and unfair his characterization of her was.
Thankfully, she didn't get sucked into escalating the conversation into a full-blown negative fight—which is exactly what would have transpired had she gone down the path of correcting the record and defending herself.
Instead, Lauren took a deep breath and thought about whether even just a small part of what Ethan was saying could be true. As she thought about it, there was some small truth to what he was saying. Tonight was a particularly difficult bath night—their son had been fussy all afternoon and then was screaming and crying during bath time. She was just trying to help them all get through the bath time chaos, but she had to admit that she probably did come across more as a commander barking out orders rather than a partner offering help and support.
So she responded using the 4 magic words. "I can see that," she said calmly. "I can see how that whole bath time tonight was a very stressful situation with that screaming tantrum." She continued, "And it probably didn't help when I came running in half way through and tried to tell you what to do in the midst of the craziness. I probably could have just backed off and let you handle it."
Ethan's facial expression, posture and tone shifted almost instantly from irritability to relief. He felt understood and he appreciated that Lauren seemed to get how frustrating that situation was for him and that her coming in and trying to help actually made it worse for him. From there, the conversation continued and Ethan and Lauren were able to talk calmly about how challenging they both find their son's tantrums and they even laughed about how appropriate the name "Terrible Two's" is for this phase in their son's life. They talked about how they could handle future situations when one of them is in the midst of dealing with a tantrum and what would and wouldn't be helpful for the other person to do during those stressful times. They were on the same team during the rest of the conversation, strategizing together as to how they can handle future challenges.
Expect that Your Partner's Complaints About You Will Probably Feel Unfair & Exaggerated
It would be nice if it were the norm for your partner to bring up complaints in a gentle way every time, but the reality is that even the most kind and loving partner at times will still, in frustration, express a complaint that feels unfair or exaggerated.
In the example of Lauren and Ethan, Ethan brought up a complaint about Lauren that felt unfair and exaggerated. Lauren didn't agree with the facts that she "always" makes comments of what he does wrong and that she "criticizes everything" he does.
Even in my own marriage, I do not perfectly express my concerns in the most loving and patient way every time. There are times when I'm feeling particularly frustrated or overwhelmed and a complaint to my husband comes out more harshly than necessary. (And I'm the Marriage Therapist who is supposed to communicate with my husband perfectly all the time, right?)
We are all guilty of sometimes over-generalizing or exaggerating when we are upset. Therefore, it's important to know how to get a conversation back on track to be productive even if your partner initially describes the situation in a less-than-ideal way. What ultimately determines how the conversation proceeds in these cases—whether it will become a productive discussion or escalate into a big fight—is how you choose to respond.
Focus On the Small Part of the Complaint that You Understand and Can Agree With
Lauren knew that focusing on correcting the facts would have really been missing the point of what Ethan was trying to say to her. Often when couples focus on correcting the facts while defending themselves against an exaggerated claim, they completely overlook the most important piece of information that really needs to be talked about—the core hurt, worry, or desire underlying the complaint.
Focusing on the unfairness and exaggeration doesn't help to make a conversation more productive. Rather, it usually thrusts the conversation into even more negative terrain. So instead of correcting the record and defending herself, Lauren rightfully focused on the small part of what Ethan said that she could understand and agree with. Then she used the 4 magic words "I can see that" to express empathy, understanding, and to take responsibility for her part of the situation.
A 2015 research study examining newlywed couples' arguments found that the act of expressing empathy and taking even a small part of responsibility for a situation has a significant effect in turning a negative conflict conversation into a much more positive and productive discussion (Gottman et. al, 2015). The results suggest that a couple's ability to have empathy and emotional connection during an argument predicts how successful the couple will be at resolving the conflict and maintaining a strong, loving bond.
So what can we learn from Lauren and EThAN?
When your partner brings up a complaint that feels unfair or exaggerated:
1. Resist the urge to immediately defend yourself or correct the 'facts' of what was said.
2. Focus on finding a small part of what your partner is saying that you can understand, agree with, and take some responsibility for. (You probably won't agree 100% with your partner's characterization of the situation and that's okay. Just focus on the part you can agree with and can take some responsibility for).
3. Use the 4 magic words, "I can see that" to express your understanding and empathy of that part you agree with and can take some responsibility for.
Now, you try it!
Think of a time your partner brought up a complaint about you. What small part could you have understood and taken responsibility for. How might the conversation have been different if you had used the 4 magic words: "I can see that"?

The confectionery market is a steadily growing market with rising sales in emerging economies. Confectionery products are typically low in nutrients and high in calorie content. Increasing incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart diseases coupled with rising health awareness has given rise to new product segments such as sugar-free confectionary products. Rise in demand for sugar-free, low-calorie, and organic products is projected to boost growth of the market. Sugar substitutes such as sorbitol, mannitol, maltitol and lactitol among others are used in confectionery. Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli A.G. and The Hershey Company are some of the players offering sugar free chocolates, mints, toffees, candies, and jellies.
The biggest restraint to the confectionery market is the rise in raw material costs. For example, cocoa prices have been fluctuating over the past few years due to erratic production and supply demand imbalance. According to the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO), prices have fluctuated between US$ 2000/ton and US$ 3000/ton since 2014. The ICCO recommends that producers either reduce the volume of chocolate products or raise prices to achieve profitability in such market conditions.
Confectionery Market Taxonomy:
On the basis of product type, confectionery market is segmented into:
On the basis of distribution channel, confectionery market is segmented into:
On the basis of product type, chocolate confectionery is expected to be the dominant segment over the forecast period. According to Coherent Market Insights, the global chocolate market was valued at US$ 99.60 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period.
On the basis of distribution channel, hypermarkets and supermarkets are projected to be the two largest segments over the forecast period. A broad product display and tactile buying experience has retained the market dominance of offline stores. Moreover, food & beverages sales, which are inclusive of confectionery have not witnessed much growth in the online distribution channel segment due to issues such as customers being unable to gauge product quality and freshness.
Global Confectionery Market Outlook:
North America is the largest confectionery market region with the U.S. being a prominent consumer of confectionery products. One of the major drivers for this market is the seasonal demand for confectioneries. There is a high demand for candies and chocolates, as they are a vital part of the U.S. festivals. The consumption of chocolate and other confectionery treats is associated with many events and holidays throughout the year such as Valentine's Day, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The sales of confectionery products in the U.S. are observed to be high during such festivals. Also, the urban population is more inclined towards consumption of confectionery compared to its rural counterparts. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 80% of the population resided in urban settings in 2017. According to UN sources, 82.3% of the population is urban in Canada. These factors are expected to contribute to the market growth in the region. Furthermore, artisanal chocolates, which are manufactured by local manufacturers are in high demand due to perception of ethical sourcing of ingredients and healthier alternative to products from major market players.
Europe is also among the leading consumers and producers of confectionery products. In Switzerland, sales of premium chocolate continued to rise in 2017. Swiss consumers were more inclined towards high quality confectionery products, which incorporate organic, fair-trade chocolate and/or chocolate with a high cocoa content. Leading players such as Chocolat Bernrain A.G. and Max Felchlin A.G are offering organic chocolates in the market. In 2016, the total quantity of Swiss chocolate sold in the domestic and international market increased by 2.3% to 185,639 tons from the previous year. According to Coherent Market Insights, chocolate confectionery segment was the largest segment in France in 2017. In 2016, a thriving tourism industry, which hosted over 80 million tourists according to French government sources coupled with high local demand is expected to further bolster the market for chocolate confectionery in the country. Market players operating in France such as Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG (Lindt), Nestle S.A., and Mondelez International have reaped the benefits of the tourism industry. Lindt reported a sales growth of 4.8% in 2017 over the previous year and plans to invest US$ 32.3 to expand manufacturing of chocolates in Switzerland.
The crucial strategies adopted by the market players include acquisitions, mergers, new product developments, capacity expansions, and flavor differentiation that helps to capture market share. In 2017, Hershey's acquired Amplify Snack Brands to create a broader portfolio of brands by merging Hershey's snack mix and meat snacks products with Amplify's products such as Skinny Pop, Tyrrells, Oatmega, and Paqui.
Leading players in the market include Nestlé S.A., Mars Inc., Ferrero Group, Meiji Co. Ltd, Candyrific, Elmer Chocolate, Mondelez International, Grupo Arcor, and The Hershey Company.

A public inquiry has been confirmed as the way of determining the future of the long-awaited Maybole bypass.
The decision was taken following a pre-examination meeting at Maybole's Carrick Centre on Thursday, with a number of objectors being represented at the meeting.
The inquiry is set to begin on Monday, May 25 and will be held over a four-day period, finishing on Friday, May 29. It will not sit on Wednesday, May 27 as reporter Michael Cunliffe is unavailable.
A venue for the public local inquiry is still being finalised, though it is hoped that the Carrick Centre will be able to accommodate the four days.
At the pre-examination meeting objectors concerns over various issues including farm division, increased traffic on Culzean Road and land drainage problems.
William and Elizabeth McJanett, of East Enoch Farm were represented by Guy Russell of Savills, who outlined concerns that the bypass would bisect their farm causing 'undue impact and hardship'.
They want the bypass to be moved further east, while still being located on their land as an agricultural study had shown that the farm would be uneconomic if the current bypass plans were implemented.
The McJannet's had concerns over accommodation works, stock welfare, the impacts on drainage and water supply and the amount of land taken.
Representing clients including Lord David Kennedy, the Marquess of Ailsa, Hugh Blythe of Nether Culzean Farm, James Caldwell of Baltersan Mains Farm and David McNaught of KirklandHill farm, agent Martin Hall said that his clients shared a common concern about land drainage claiming that undertakings from Transport Scotland had been insufficient.
In addition, the Gilmour family of Broomknowes Farm had a specific concern about the proposed southern roundabout which they wanted moved further east so it would not impact on the steading.
Colin and Jacklyn Johnson of Maybole's McCrae Court were concerned about the increased traffic on Culzean Road which would affect their privacy and amenity and they asked for a change in junction designs.
Responding for Transport Scotland, solicitor Douglas Milne asked for early notification of alternative road lines and junction arrangements as well as specific plot numbers of alleged excessive land take.
Mr Cunliffe asked for details of design changes proposed by objectors to be supplied by April 2.
After the inquiry in May, a report into the bypass proposals is set to be published by the Directorate of Planning and Environmental Appeals by the end of September which should pave the way forward for the scheme.

One requirement on the
Parenting Curriculum Vitae is disciplining.
As you try to administer punishment you never know if you're flailing or
failing. We discipline to teach the concept of consequence. How can you expect
your child to be ready to leave home after 18 years if the kid doesn't
understand the concept of cause and effect? So we play Whack a Mole with
best-guess parenting.
Last year, teachers informed us our son was out of line and
rightfully looked at us to solve "the problem." So we took away Max's band for
six weeks. He had gigs and practices. Our intention: teach him the concept of
consequence. You step out of line you get punished. The problem was we beat him
down more than the teachers were already doing five days a week. Max was
Amidst our Whack A Mole parenting we sought the advice from
Candace Fitzpatrick, President of Core
Clarity. Candace knows a lot about helping children and teachers maximize
the strengths of students for measurable benefits in the classroom. When we
shared our strategy with her, we expected the same response we got from all
parents we told. (Parents do this when they get together. They talk about their
kids to the point of hives, uncontrollable twitching and medical attention.)
The universal response was always, "Good for you. It's hard to punish your kid
but you have to do it. I bet he sure learned his lesson."
Yet Candace said immediately, "That was a mistake. What you
did was take away something that gave him joy and energy. This creates less
enthusiasm and more problems." She was right. Our punishment didn't solve
anything. It wasn't until months later we discovered Max had dyslexia and was
acting-out from frustration. This year we moved him to a school for children
with learning differences.
The joy and enthusiasm is back. But he's still a kid with
lapses in good judgment. Recently we found out he was signing my name on
homework sheets instead of proper authorization. Meanwhile his marks were
suffering and Max was just getting by. We needed to punish him but Candace's
advice was not lost on us.
This time the six-week punishment involved two things. In
his room by 8:30 pm. (Max loves to stay up late.) And his cell phone charges in
the mudroom. (Eliminating interruptions or texting distractions at night.)
The net effect? Max gets more sleep. His "punishment" is
over but his marks have gone up and his level of joy and enthusiasm is even
higher. We asked Max if he thought continuing the curfew was a good idea and he
So in the world of good parenting I guess we can "whack a
mole" every once in a while.

Staring down the slope of the world's longest speed skiing track pulls your focus into acute clarity. Picking your line is a decision about your best guess on fastest, most naturally efficient path to your destination. The sound of the other competitors, your breathing and even your heartbeat disappear. The only thing on your mind is the line you have chosen and how fast you can possibly go.
In business today, there are a multitude of things that can happen and you know they will come at you fast. So, the line you choose is of utmost importance.
Here is how to pick the fastest and best line to your destination:
1st identify… The Straight Line. Define the shortest distance between you and the outcome you desire. For example, let's say you want to close a deal and you know that going straight to the decision maker is the straight line.
You ----------------------Decision Maker ------------------- Closing the Deal
2nd identify… The Detours Line. Imagine all points that could take you closer (or keep you away) from the outcome you want. Pinpoint all the people who can influence the decision maker. Also research all the issues that the decision make might be dealing with. With google.com and an imagination you can find all sorts of issues the company might be struggling with.
PEOPLE ISSUES Controller Market Product Receptionist VP Marketing Conditions Launch You --------------------------Decision Maker------------------Closing the Deal Executive VP of Sales Competitor Assistant Pressures
3rd identify… The Smart Line. Collect information that will lead you to the heart of the solution. Then draw the most efficient and effective line to the outcome you desire. In the case of closing the deal example you will see how this works. Interview one key person that is an influencer to the decision maker. This person would have a handle on the issues that are on the mind of the decision maker. Let's say the Executive Assistant is the influencer. You ask the EA for help. With the issues you have already researched, you clearly state that you have ideas but didn't want to bother the decision maker until you were sure you had the right solution. The influencer fills you in and becomes a partner in the solution. You are then ready to go to the decision maker.
PEOPLE ISSUES Product Launch You ---------------------Decision Maker--------------------Closing the Deal Executive Assistant
The "Smart Line" might not be the most direct path. But when it's well thought out, you will likely triumph with speed and fearless clarity.

In the last day or so there have been emails going back and forth between my family members getting the details straight for this weekend. Who is hosting? Who's making the potatoes? Did anyone remember cranberries? (This is one that I just thought about. Seriously though, did anyone in my family grab cranberries yet? Mom?)
For a lot of you there are similar messages going back and forth as you plan to be together with people that you love for a special meal this Thanksgiving. Maybe you have traditions to uphold. Maybe you have a great aunt who makes a sweet potato casserole that you look forward to all year.
But no matter how you manage to get around the table, what you eat or who carves the turkey, I hope you will find moments to practice gratitude. Being thankful is a lifestyle choice and this season can be so helpful to bring us back to the centre of recognizing the blessing and favour of God in our lives.
If you're in the middle of a difficult season and are struggling to find joy, let me encourage you to look to Jesus. In every circumstance His gift of life and freedom are always something to bring joy and hope.
Looking forward to celebrating His goodness with you on Sunday!

Create special memories with your child or create something unique for your home with some fun arts and crafts. However, arts and crafts can get pricey and leave you scratching your head for new ideas. Read the following article for suggestions on how to do just that.
To avoid mess while you are getting creative, spread out some newspaper. Once the project is complete, remove the newspaper.
Beadaholique is a store where you can find nearly everything needed to make custom jewelry. Make any kind of jewelry from the fantastic variety of beads, chains and other supplies. Lots of today's fashion includes some costume jewelry. When you create your own, you'll save money and have great pieces to wear.
Would you like to know where to find the best craft supplies? You can find everything you need on the Internet. With a quick search you can find lots of great deals. Some of the better stores even provide free shipping to save even more.
When you are working on a craft project, carry out one project before starting the next. Sometimes you want to try out a million different things. This is why projects don't get completed. Take your time to finish one project before you start on another. You'll get more done this way.
It's important to remember that you should not have one set idea in mind as to how the finished project should look when doing crafts with children. Let your kids run wild with their imaginations, either by not showing examples, or by showing a range of differing possibilities. For instance, never tell a child that an animal must have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Instead, let them decide what the face should look like. Let them do what they want, or you will stifle the creative process.
Take the time to organize your supplies. Your supplies can be stored in many various ways, just find one that works the best for you. If your supplies are organized, finding the right item for any project will be a lot easier. You will also be able to keep track of your supply inventory.
Cover surfaces with old newspaper to avoid damaging furniture or floors when creating arts and crafts projects. When your project is done, throw newspaper away and you won't need to be concerned about mess issues.
To give your mosaic a shiny surface after the mortar dries, wipe the surface down with a bit of glass cleaner on a rag. The mortar powder is hard to get out without it and you don't need it gumming up the finish of the final project.
With oil painting you can paint over mistakes or regrets. The surface won't be harmed at all. You can create depth by adding extra layers of paint to your painting.
Peanut Butter
Don't be extra hard on kids when they are creating their works of art. Your main objective should be to foster creativity. You will defeat this purpose if you keep pointing things that your children are doing incorrectly.
If you want to make bird feeders with the kids, get a pine cone. Then, cover it with peanut butter. When the peanut butter becomes nicely sticky, drop it into a bag of birdseed. The seeds will stick to the pinecone even after the peanut butter dries, so by attaching a string to it, you and your kids can watch the birds enjoy their feast.
An arts and crafts project is a terrific way to keep lots of kids, or even adults, entertained. You can find a project for any age group. Find crafts online for the ages you will be working with.
Make sure that you have all the supplies before starting a project. You wouldn't want to start doing something and realize you don't have the things you need. Get a list of every item you need for project completion, and make sure you have it before you start.
Remember that kids can be messy with arts and crafts. If messiness stresses you out, protect your surfaces with a paper covering. Washable materials, such as markers and adhesives, may also help you.
Use a spirograph to show kids how patterns work. Your kids can actually learn something about wave patterns in the science of physics by watching how pens move through the varying shapes and patterns.
Arts and crafts projects provide children with amazing learning opportunities. Depending on their age, ask them questions about the supplies, such as how many there are or how many more they need.
If you want a beautifully finished craft project, it's crucial to take your time with it. You can't rush doing projects. This will help the quality of whatever you are making. You'll have a project that looks sloppy and half-hearted otherwise. Therefore, take your time and the results will show that.
If you can't find the supplies you need, look at thrift stores. Thrift shops have different types of supplies for crafts. Check in frequently, because this sort of merchandise sells quickly!
You have now read some great ideas that can help you get going. Use this new knowledge and create some beautiful and useful things for your home. If you want, consider using your skills for crafting gifts for family and loved ones.

256 people died in road accidents in Catalonia in 2018
Figure is a 7% increase over last year as upward trend in fatalities that began in 2015 continues
With 231 people dying in road accidents in 2016, last year's total continues an upward trend that began in 2015, when there were 261 deaths (in 2014 the number was 230).
Worst interurban figures since 2012
Of last year's total, 185 deaths were on interurban roads, the worst figure since 2012, when the toll was 194, while 17 fatalities on these roads were people hit by cars, a rise of 240%.
Meanwhile, another 60 people died on road interchanges -where most accidents are caused by speeding, distractions or intoxication- representing a 54% rise.
Police to use more dynamic measures
In order to reduce the number of road accidents in 2019, the Catalan police -the Mossos d'Esquadra- will implement more dynamic measures, including more monitoring by helicopters, in-car cameras, and improved speed cameras.
Interior minister Miquel Buch spoke bluntly about the figures, referring to "homicidal behavior" and pledging tough action against risky driving, such as speeding or mobile use.
Road deaths in Spain below EU average
On a European scale, Spain as a whole, with 39 road deaths per million inhabitants, is below the EU average of 51, based on the most up-to-date figures for the bloc, which are from 2016.
In December, the Spanish government passed a decree reducing the maximum speed allowed on minor roads from 100km/h to 90km/h. According to Spain's road authority, surpassing the speed limit causes 20% of the victims every year.

We've been hearing rumors & speculation of Lil Wayne's Dedication 6 mixtape for the past couple years now. In fact, DJ Drama first mentioned the project way back in 2015 when he said the project would be dropping AFTER the Carter V, but we eventually knew that wasn't happening thanks to all Weezy's legal woes with Birdman. Having continued to tease the project ever since then however, Lil Wayne came through a few weeks ago and finally gave fans something to look forward to when he announced that Dedication 6 will finally be dropping Christmas Day.

Clothes, like cars or children, are investments. A person looking for a job will expectedly dress smartly depending, of course, on the type of job desired. You wouldn't attend a formal event dressed informally unless you're seeking to make a statement of some sort, or that is in fact the image you chose to portray. The type of clothes you wear says a lot about you as a person and it is up to you to acquire the right ones in order to be perceived in the right way.
Thus we enter the debate of quality over quantity. Often, big retail chain stores sell replicas of higher end designs, but you should not only consider looks or pricing when purchasing clothes. It is easy for any store to sell a basic white button down shirt, it's a whole different story however when you consider the materials that make up this shirt and the way that is made. It is impractical to purchase a poorly made shirt for less money because it will eventually show the signs of its quality, and repurchasing it will, after a while, cost you more than if you had bought the more expensive but better made one. The term quality isn't only applied to suits and shirts, everything, from t-shirts to sneakers can be well made.
Some things to consider when searching for well made clothing are the labels which tell you what kind of fabric is used and how it should be taken care of, and whether the fit is what you are looking for. Some stores to find quality clothing that won't leave you bankrupt are Topman and ZARA. Shopping online would also be beneficial, as in most cases you will be able to read reviews of specific items and often there is a sale section containing reduced price goods.

For our full-time, 24-Hour Live-In clients, we introduce HomeLife Partners' Emergency Link Program. A while ago, the staff sat together and talked about how natural disasters would impact our seniors and what to do in the event of such an emergency. All South Bay residents know the risks in the area, and that there is a 99% chance a disaster will happen in the next couple of years whether it's earthquakes, floods, wild fires, or landslides just to name a few. More than any other demographic, dependent elderly individuals are most at risk so we want to make sure that our seniors and caregivers are fully prepared.
We consulted with South Bay's local authorities, such as the Palos Verdes Police Department and their guidelines in order to devise a plan for our staff and caregivers to follow. The 72-Hour Emergency Preparedness Kit includes water, dried and canned foods, a gas wrench, a lantern, and many other supplies that will allow both the client and caregiver to survive for at least 3 days until help arrives.
Starting this week, our care managers will introduce the emergency kits to each of our 24-hour care clients. We are proud to be the first and only home care company in the area to offer a disaster preparedness program – we are honored to show our dedication and depth of care that includes not only the everyday aspects, but also the long term prevention and preparedness.

BLACK FOX PLAYS LOVE SUDS17 Sep
Black Fox took to the stage at The Laundry this week for Love Suds – A new indie club night in Melbourne which is sure to flourish. The band smashed out an hour-long set to a crowd of rockers sporting Black Fox temporary tattoos. Thanks to everyone who slapped one on their skin, you all looked radical.
SHOEHORNED11 Sep
Back in mid-2008 I stumbled across a pair of old pre-loved, tan Julius Marlows (yes, that's right) at the Camberwell Market. Eschewing any fads of the time, I parted with a pair of twenty dollar notes and returned home in my new 'all-occasion' footwear.
For the next two years I wore the Marlows consistently both at home, and abroad. Business? Pleasure? All-occasions indeed! Why, those shoes were so comfortable that when it came to choosing footwear for a long, solo trek down the Wakayama coastline, my trusty Chuck Taylors were cast aside.
Sadly, in March 2010, some 8000 kilometers afar from their Collingwood cordwainer (and somewhat in need of a good cobbling), they were surrendered into a garbage receptacle due to excess airline baggage constraints — a move I've regretted ever since.
When the rain receded this morning, I exploited the opportunity to venture into the sunshine and back to Camberwell Market in search of, well, anything really.
Same stall. Same shoes. This time: black.
Julius, you smug f***. The legend continues!
THE BIRDHOUSE ON FIRE?9 Sep
With rumour circulating that Black Fox will cover the track The Birdhouse On Fire by The New Season, Lambrusco Cramond was quick to establish contact with the song's co-writing duo — tight-lipped, mystery figure Keith Zeppelin and our own Leigh Mullens. For your reading pleasure, we've posted an extract of the resulting conversation.
History suggests that musicians are often at their most creative when they're downtrodden. Let's talk about your lifestyles during the original sessions for this song?
Leigh: Birdhouse was one of a handful of songs we churned out in the second half of 2006. It was an interesting time for me; my father was terminally ill, the air was thick with smoke from the bushfires that ravaged Melbourne's east, and I was fast losing touch with reality. At some point I'd decided to turn my back on stable employment, and began a permanent vacation that would span the best part of the following two years. Despite this—or perhaps because of it—I don't remember the period as all doom and gloom. With the shackles of employment cast aside, I was free to spend more time in the great outdoors and busied myself with handicrafts and creative pursuits.
Lyrically, the song continues Revolver / The New Season's tradition of mixing psychedelic inspired metaphors with harsh slabs of cold reality. What do you mean by 'The plane never dies online when I want to hide you'?
Keith: I wouldn't know as such lyric does not exist in the song.
Leigh: Lyrically, I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly what Birdhouse was about. In fact, I confronted Keith about the song's meaning a few years back and the conversation went like this:
'What does the line 'The birdhouse is on fire' mean?'
'It means the birdhouse is on fire.'
'What birdhouse? And why does that mean that you have to leave for a little while?'
'Cause it's on fire.'
Nonetheless, it was a song that captured the essence of the period and never fails to take me back to those smoky summer days.
Somewhere between recording Revolver and The New Season, Mooroolbark's Tony Iommi™ put aside his riff/rock styling in favour of the more subtle sonic approach represented on this song. Was this a deliberate decision, or natural evolution?
Leigh: Musically, it was a bit of a purple patch for both Keith and I. When I look back on this period, the songs that spring to mind are Feathers, Paralysed By The Sun, Escape To Elbrus, Permanent Vacation and, of course, The Birdhouse On Fire. This new batch of songs represented a sonic shift from the drop-D days of Revolver. For the most part, I'd put down my battered Les Paul, switched off my amp and picked up an acoustic guitar. Perhaps it was lethargy that led me down this road, or, more likely, I was searching for something a little more honest and real. It's probably this approach that made the songs of that era a little more timeless than our angst-filled earlier efforts.
People seem to be attracted to music representative of their culture. Having said that, if Birdhouse On Fire was piped into the Mooroolbark train station, what would you expect the crowd's response to be?
Leigh: Commuters would probably relate to the line, 'The trains never run on time'.
Thanks, guys.
INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVER DELUXE7 Sep
For some time now, I've been on a quest for the ultimate overdrive pedal. In recent years, I've been rocking Visual Sound's Route 66 pedal; and while it's rad, I felt there were better pedals out there. While in New York last week, I began hitting up the local guitar stores with the intention of picking up a vintage TS-9 Tube Screamer—a classic pedal that's become known as 'the standard' for overdrive. Enter the Interstellar Overdriver Deluxe.
I stumbled across this pedal while browsing the cabinet at Main Drag Music in Brooklyn. Not only does it have the greatest name of any overdrive pedal, but it looks radical. I asked the attendant if I could try it out and he led me to the live room. The second I started kicking out the jams on this thing, an earthquake hit New York (literally). Sold!
NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN6 Sep
In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, Callum and myself headed to the Purple Piano Studio in downtown Brooklyn to record some additional vocal parts for the record. This well-equipped and eclectically-decorated studio is situated at the back of Sanford and Sven's Second Hand Store, and proved to be the perfect location to spend an afternoon laying down some takes. We rolled around in the early afternoon and were greeted by Sven, the very relaxed co-owner of this second hand store/studio space. He was happy to lead us past his collection of old super 8 cameras to the back of the store, where the studio is located.
We set up our gear in the middle of the room, surrounded by some kind of animal skin and a large collection of posters featuring Elvis, Van Halen and the Spice Girls. In the hours that followed, Callum laid down take after take of harmonies and backing vocals; stopping only briefly to slam down a greasy burger and leave a poor tip at a nearby food emporium. Once the recording session came to a close, we headed back to Callum's pad to celebrate with a round of Drake's Coffee Cakes—a delicious cinnamon snack, packed with great pop-culture references.

The gas man came!
The problem was with the electrics and he spent a good hour or two finding where it was shorting and sorting it all out. However it was all done by 11.00.
Then we went to look at Nic's horse box. It is old and the exhaust is going. Actually, once Brian had crawled under it, he discovered it has gone. It is so old that you can't just buy a new exhaust for it, so Brian has bought some zinc and we have to go and buy some other bits to fix it till the MOT in March (not very hopeful on that one)
After that we went to the tip to get rid of the fridge and freezer which were surplus to requirements plus some other stuff.
The I sorted out all the stuff from the airing cupboard on the basis that as I had emptied it for the gas man I might as well sort it out. So we now have a bin bag full of old towels etc for the dogs home.
I went to work today for a bit of a rest!

With all the bad going on in the world right now - I'm not even going to touch religion, politics or racism for risk of my blood pressure going up. So for tonight -
Margarita Chicken Enchiladas! I made this up as I went along and tried to use products from small family run companies here in the Midwest. Though there are a number of ingredients and steps it's EASY to make and pretty much fool proof.
And the sauce is SO flavorful and creamy.This isn't a "spicy hot" dish - but has great flavor and just a bit of heat on the back of the tongue from the jalapeno and hot sauce.
Jalapeno Cilantro Cream Sauce
some of that creamy sauce!

How Fast Can I Mine 1 Bitcrystals – Bitcoin – Fixing the Financial Shortfall
We would like to thank you for coming to Crypto-Currency in search for "How Fast Can I Mine 1 Bitcrystals" online. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network is now the work of a number of companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the right place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet together these businesses decide how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to phone to get it fixed. If the problem is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current constitutional problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't necessary to understand how the process functions in and of itself, but it is basically important to understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can only choose to print unlimited quantities (I am not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. You've probably heard this often where you often spread the great word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What happens when the price failures? " sofar, many POS devices delivers free transformation of fiat, improving some issue, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people will undoubtedly be hesitant to hold any. We need to discover a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to stop operation.
How Fast Can I Mine 1 Bitcrystals – No Credit No Problem: bitcoin
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you're considering going it alone, it's worth noting that the software settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a steady flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to completely block the reward. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the character of the protocol by which it is transacted. All transactions on a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This isn't something temporary where your customers can dispute or need a concessions, or use illegal sleight of palm. In practice, most professionals could be smart to use a fee processor, due to the irreversible character of crypto currency dealings, you must ensure that protection is tricky. With any form of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might get access to your private recommendations and so steal your cash. Sadly, you almost certainly can never obtain it back. It is vitally important for you really to follow some excellent safe and sound techniques when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from all of these damaging activities. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers contend that there is "actual" worth, even through there isn't any physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that's worth an ever declining amount of currency or some kind of reward so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible the regulators simply do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act. In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may possibly be exchanged as a product. Proponents of cryptocurrencies proclaim that form of virtual money is not controlled by way of a main bank system and is not thus susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are a limited number of items, this coin's value is founded on market forces, allowing homeowners to deal over cryptocurrency trades. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a special address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of value, but there is no genuine palpable sort of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.

A SAOVA message to sportsmen, pet owners and farmers concerned about protecting their traditions, avocations and livelihoods from anti-hunting, anti-breeding, animal guardianship advocates. Forwarding and cross posting, with attribution, encouraged.
SAOVA Friends,

Once again Cindy Cooke, Legislative Specialist, is right on target with this essay. Cindy notes that our acceptance of the animal rightist term puppy mill was a mistake and "it's rapidly becoming fatal today." I recently attended an HSUS Lobby Seminar where the HSUS Director used the terms commercial breeder and puppy mill interchangeably, and stated that anyone with more than 6 dogs or who bred more than one/two litters a year was a commercial breeder/puppymill.
Even if you have read this article in UKC's Coonhound Bloodlines it is worth reading one more time.

An Obituary for Words
by Cindy Cooke, Legislative Specialist
You can't really ban a word. In fact, an attempt to ban something often backfires, particularly in the United States , where we don't like people censoring our speech. So I'm not going to tell you not to say "puppy mill".
I'm going to give you some very good reasons for not using that phrase.
I speak to a lot of dog clubs and frequently hear dog breeders supporting so-called "anti-puppy-mill" laws. When I ask these people to define "puppy mill," invariably the definitions given include:
§ People who "overbreed" their dogs;
§ People who don't take care of their dogs;
§ People who have too many dogs;
§ People who breed dogs "just for money"; and
§ People who don't take health issues into account when breeding their dogs.
Let's look at these definitions in turn. What is "overbreeding"? In the wild, most canids can only reproduce once a year. Most domestic dogs can have two litters a year. When I first became a dog breeder, it was almost a religious belief that no female dog should be bred more than once a year. We were told that it was important to "rest" the uterus between litters. Today, however, thanks to advances in veterinary medicine, we know that a uterus is actually damaged by the elevated progesterone levels that occur in each heat cycle, whether the dog is pregnant or not. Veterinary reproduction specialists recommend that dogs be bred on their second or third heat cycle, that we do more back-to-back breedings, and that we spay the dogs at around age six.
The "overbreeding" argument also treats reproduction as something that female dogs wouldn't do if they had a choice. Dogs aren't people - female dogs actually want to be bred when they're in heat and, with few exceptions, enjoy raising their puppies. It's not an unwelcome event for dogs.
People who don't take care of their dogs are already guilty of a crime in all 50 states. There is nowhere in the United States where it is legal to neglect or abuse dogs. Sadly, a small minority of all dog breeders - commercial, home and hobby - commit neglect and abuse. Some of these do so out of ignorance, some out of laziness, and some out of meanness. All are already breaking the law. It just needs to be enforced.
One of our biggest problems now is that animal radicals insist that every dog be raised like a hothouse flower. One bill proposed this year would have required every kennel to be air conditioned. Many owners of working dogs prefer that their dogs be acclimated to hot weather so that they can work when the temperature goes up. Likewise, sled dogs in the north often sleep outdoors in the snow. Dogs can live and thrive in a wide range of environments. The Arctic Circle, the jungles of Africa, and the deserts of Arabia have all produced breeds of dogs that can live happily in conditions that might not suit all dogs. It is important that we not let activists redefine the needs of dogs to the extent that we are forced to provide a brass bed and a down pillow for every animal in the kennel!
What is "too many" dogs? Most of our breeds were developed by wealthy people who kept large numbers of dogs. Hound breeders traditionally kept good-sized packs, and early show breeders did as well. Now that our sport includes more mainstream people - people with jobs or people who need jobs - it's hard for many of us to keep large numbers of dogs. There is no inherent link between numbers of dogs and neglect. People who have the resources to keep big kennels provide a service for all of us, particularly if they maintain a good number of useful stud dogs.
Breeding dogs is expensive, and getting more so daily. It's just plain silly to pretend that none of us needs the money generated by puppy sales and stud services. Without that income, the vast majority of middle class breeders could not afford this sport. When our sport was solely in the hands of rich people, it was the norm to sneer at people in "trade", and part of that attitude was handed down to us with the culture of our sport. Today, however, the majority of us in the sport are "in trade", in the sense that we have to work to support ourselves. Our dogs must, at least in part, support themselves or most of us would have to get out of the game.
We have among us a small but vociferous group of people who think that breeders only care about producing great hunting or show dogs, and nothing about health. In fact, I've never met a breeder who wasn't concerned about the health of his dogs and the health of his breed. Most health problems in dogs don't have simple solutions, so it is only natural that breeders are often going to disagree about how to address health problems. When there's no right answer to a question, then breeders who follow a different path than you might choose are not necessarily wrong or unconcerned. I know that many believe that commercial breeders don't care about health, but the fact is that their professional organizations provide some of the most sophisticated health seminars in the country for their breeders.
Twenty years ago, animal activists created the phrase "puppy mill". Back then, it was only applied to commercial breeders, and then only to those who were breaking the law by neglecting their dogs. In a futile attempt to placate activists, many hobby breeders adopted the term "puppy mill" and used it to separate "them" from "us". It was a mistake then, and it's rapidly becoming fatal today. Every one of these so-called "anti-puppy-mill bills" has a definition that could easily include breeders of hunting and show dogs. Every time you use that phrase, you're contributing to the idea that dog breeders need to be regulated out of existence.
The message we need to send to America is that purebred dogs are good, not just because they have pedigrees, but because of their predictability, and that people should shop at least as carefully for a puppy as they do for a car. We don't need to help the animal radicals spread their message by using their favorite term: puppy mill.

The Colorado Court of Appeals issued its opinion in People in Interest of G.S.S. on Thursday, January 10, 2019.
Children's Code— Juvenile Court—Delinquency—No-Bond Order—Speedy Trial.
G.S.S. was arrested and charged with two delinquent acts for threatening to shoot students at his middle school. He was placed in secure detention. At the initial detention hearing on May 2, 2017, the district court ordered that G.S.S. be held without bond. Numerous hearings were held over the next several months regarding the status of G.S.S.'s release from detention. On August 9, 2017 defense counsel moved to dismiss the case for violation of G.S.S.'s statutory speedy trial rights. The district court granted the motion.
On appeal, the prosecution argued that G.S.S.'s requests for continuances waived or extended the speedy trial period, and if there was a speedy trial violation, dismissal is not the proper remedy. Under CRS § 19-2-509(4)(b), a court is required to bring a juvenile to trial within 60 days of a no-bond order, so G.S.S. was entitled to a trial within 60 days of May 2, 2017, or July 1, 2017. The court did not hold a trial within that 60-day limit. In addition, counsel's actions on behalf of G.S.S. were designed to get G.S.S. released, not to delay a trial date. Thus, G.S.S.'s requested continuances did not waive, toll, or extend the speedy trial period. Accordingly, the district court violated G.S.S.'s statutory speedy trial rights. Further, the court of appeals discerned that it was the legislature's intent to require dismissal when a speedy trial violation occurs, regardless of whether the speedy trial period was established by a no-bond hold order or entry of a not guilty plea. Therefore, the district court did not err by dismissing G.S.S.'s case.
The order was affirmed.

Sustaining MoU, UNS invites NCU to conduct recruitment of students for master and doctoral program
An MoU between Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) and National Central University (NCU) Taiwan was established on November 17, 2016. Both universities had pledged to conduct collaborations in a number of educational schemes such as student and staff exchange and collaboration in research and publication.
In addition to collaboration in research and exchange program, NCU had been conducting a selection of prospective alumni from Indonesian university, especially UNS, to study in NCU for master and doctoral degree, as what was conducted on Monday (Nov 6 2017). With the assistance from UNS International Office, NCU broadcasted the information about the recruitment. This was the second time NCU conducted the recruitment. Similar program was organized last year.
The recruitment was only to interview the candidates. A total of 18 professors from NCU were delegated for that purpose. Registration and document checking were done online within the previous week. Forty three people registered online but only 23 came to the interview. They were from various departments from a number of universities such as UNNES, UGM, FET-Sampoerna, and AKPRIND. Upon passing the selection, the candidates would still have to follow several procedures before they were admitted by the university. According to the Head of UNS International Office, Taufik Al Makmun, the recruitment procedure was rather exclusive between NCU and the candidates. "We (International Office) only served as facilitator, we helped spreading the information and prepared the event. Announcement will be notified directly to the candidates by email. They still need to go through more processes until January (2018). This recruitment is for those who are going to start studying in September 2018", he explained.
Aden, a fresh graduate from UNNES Semarang, came to the interview after his colleague told him about the recruitment and enrolled himself. "This is my first time having an interview to apply for something. I guess this will make me more confident next time. I hope UNS can maintain and improve such partnership to support the students", he said.
Aside from conducting recruitment for new students, the delegates were also scheduled to have a meeting with faculty managers of UNS to discuss possible collaborations in the future to sustain the bond between the two universities. After the discussion, they visited Taiwan Center and UNS Museum in the Libray building.
"We tried to provide support in order that many Indonesians, especially alumni of UNS, to continue their study abroad. We hope this recruitment will be an annual agenda, and there will be more collaborations in the future like general lecture", Taufik added.

Appcelerator, the platform for rapidly developing native mobile, desktop, and iPad applications using web technologies, announced the release of its flagship product, Appcelerator Titanium 1.0, for General Availability ("GA").
Titanium 1.0 has been redesigned to achieve performance on par with Apple's iPhone and Google's Android SDKs, and is the first cross-platform solution to achieve this milestone. Appcelerator also introduced a new commercial offering for premium support, training, and analytics, available for purchase beginning today.
Many developers, in particular web development firms, systems integrators and interactive agencies, are turning to Appcelerator to deliver a cross-platform application development solution that gives them a native advantage. These developers require performance on par with Apple and Google's SDK, native user experience capabilities, and native access to the underlying device capabilities (eg: camera, video streaming, maps) on each platform.
"The proliferation of 'smart' devices with multiple operating systems is causing serious platform fragmentation and, as a result, every company needs to reassess their development strategy today," advises Scott Ellison, Vice-President Mobile, IDC. "Appcelerator improves upon the 'write once, deploy anywhere' approach by enabling cross-platform development of applications that leverage the native performance and capabilities of each unique device from a cost effective, web technology-driven code base."
Appcelerator spent three months – and more than tripled its code base – to upgrade Titanium's mobile processing engine. The resulting performance improvements put significant distance between Titanium and competing solutions. Load times are now under 3 seconds, down from 10-20 seconds, transitions between pages are instantaneous, and processing speed has improved five-fold. Moreover, user experience capabilities have dramatically increased to now include over 100 native UI controls, native 2D/3D animation capabilities, and sophisticated data and media presentation capabilities. Branded applications, casual games, and even augmented reality applications are now possible.
"After being in market 6 months, we realized that the user experience needs to be at parity with native development platforms. Anything less is a non-starter. We are pleased to be the first and only cross-platform solution to run on par with native applications, but with the development speed that comes from using web technologies," noted Jeff Haynie, CEO of Appcelerator.

In the final moments of Richard Wagner's Götterdämmerung, the last opera of his epic masterpiece, "The Ring Cycle," the world is set ablaze by a woman who has loved, lost and taken her revenge.
But, there is sooo much more to the story of the warrior Valkyrie, Brünnhilde, and her hero, Siegfried.
Betrayed by the man she loves and complicit in his murder, after lighting Siegfried's funeral pyre, Brünnhilde mounts her winged stallion Grane and rides into the flames to perish with the man she loves. The flames of their love set the world ablaze destroying it completely. The effect of that final scene never fails to set my soul on fire.
Not far from where I was sitting, the runway shows were falling far short of setting the fashion world on fire. This year's Fashion Week in New York was dubbed "derivative" by some and sneered at as a "snoozer" by others, meaning there were no avant-garde breakout trends to set the hearts of the fashion cognoscenti on fire. With a few exceptions, most of the fashions being shown for fall 2012 were dismissed as tired and traditional. Some went so far as to use the dreaded "W" word ----wearable. Eeeke!! This, of course, was music to my ears.
So, have we nothing interesting to look forward to this fall?
Well, fur and leather will be back, and opera (over-the-elbow) gloves, a personal favorite of mine, adorned the slender arms of quite a few runway models last week.
Nothing makes a woman look more graceful and feminine than a pair of long gloves. These elegant beauties are from Diane von Furstenberg.
And the hot color for fall will be oxblood. This is a wonderfully understated color that works well for cool and warm color palettes alike.
A deep maroon with a tinge of reddish-brown, oxblood can stand on its own as an accent color or work equally well as a neutral upon which to build a great outfit.
These Derek Lam leather trousers in oxblood are paired with a neutral sleeveless top and a fur neck wrap in a warm hue of deep beige.
You don't have to be a stick figure model to pull off this look.
Aren't they just fabulous?
Male-inspired footgear has been quite the rage for the last few years and appears to be a continuing trend for fall.
I have a great pair of saddle colored oxford ties with a 2" stacked heel which have become my absolute favorite run-around-town shoes.
And my black, patent-leather loafers with thick crepe soles are absolutely perfect for an afternoon of antiquing.
So, maybe this year's fall fashions won't set the world on fire. That's fine with me. When it comes to setting the world on fire, no one can hold a candle, or should I say a torch, to Brünnhilde.

With so many new folks joining us because of our new CBD product line, some are asking if they have to go recruit people, build a business, commit to monthly orders, etc. The answer is "NO"! If all you want to do is use our incredible products, then just do that. (However, we're convinced you'll like them so much you'll start telling friends. When they ask where they can get some, just send them to YOUR site! Just a few buyers, and your product is FREE!)
We are obviously building a huge network marketing business ourselves. But CTFO never kicks you out for not buying product "often enough." You can buy whenever you need something. IF you're building a business, it does make good business sense to get on automatic monthly shipment for ONE product. But it's up to you.

Pink Paper Doll Dress ( Click Here ) Navy ( Click Here )
I wore this beautiful hot pink dress for a wedding, the off the shoulder lace detail really swayed me on this dress, it is comfortable and flexible, I love that it pulls you in on the waist and that it has a split at the back.
The material is soft and and it sits were it should, don't you hate it when dresses rise and your always pulling it down?
I dont usually wear pink, especially not hot pink, but since wearing this dress I have now added hot pink to my wardrobe, so if you don't usually wear pink, don't cancel it out. However this dress is also available in navy.
Take a look at there collection on Next as they have some variations of this dress and some other amazing dresses ( Click Here )
Thank for reading
Love Amy X

Consultation on student finance launches today
A consultation on the proposed student finance grants has launched today.
Students and parents are asked to give their views on the new finance package that was proposed in the 2018 Budget speech.
The new model would see tuition fees completely paid for all families earning under £150,000. Students living in households with an income of £150,000 or more will get 50% of their tuition fees paid.
If passed, the model will apply to all eligible students studying for a degree from September 2018, whether in their first, second or third year.
However, one of the conditions is that students will have to repay the grant if they don't complete the course.
The consultation period will run between 11th December and 12th January with four drop-in events scheduled at Jersey Library.
- Monday 18th December: 10am - 3pm
- Tuesday 19th December: 5pm - 7:30pm
- Friday 5th January: 11am- 4pm
- Saturday 6th January: 9am-4pm
The Education Minister, Rod Bryans says the Treasury Minister has committed to the long-term funding of the new student finance proposals.

An individual was a gray-haired male of the Gotal species. He served as a guard in the Alliance to Restore the Republic and was stationed aboard the Home One Star Cruiser immediately after the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY. The Gotal guarded the hatchway of a meeting room in which the Rebels Mon Mothma, Crix Madine and Luke Skywalker watched a hologram from Bakura detailing an invasion by the Ssi-ruu species. When Skywalker exited the meeting, the Gotal saluted, but also flinched; his cone-shaped perceptor horns reacted to Skywalker's Force-sensitivity with a buzzing sensation inside the Gotal's head.[1]
Behind the scenesEdit
Author Kathy Tyers created this Gotal for her novel, The Truce at Bakura, published by Bantam Spectra in 1994.
