We've bounced around the globe and back and one thing is for sure: traveling with a big ol' bag is an absolute nightmare. If you can get everything you need in a carry-on and personal item, it will make your trip at least 9 times easier, guarantees. Here is everything we know about how to pack light, and just as importantly, why to pack light!
The 'HOW' of Packing Light
Pack the Necessities
Have you ever gotten home from a vacation and, while you're unpacking, you realize you didn't use half of the things you brought. "Yeah, but what if I HAD wanted to use them??" or "What if it had snowed 6 inches??" You were going to Florida, honey…
In order to pack light, you're going to have to make one or two (or 31) tough decisions. Let's start making them.
By FAR what is going to end up taking up the most space in your luggage. Julie has on multiple occasions been literally jumping up and down on her carry-on trying to smash it closed so she could zip it up. Why? Because she packed half of her already-bloated wardrobe.
When you're deciding what to pack, you have to start out by reading (and trusting…) a weather forecast for your destination. If you're going to Cancun, you probably won't need a rain jacket. Seattle on the other hand? Maybe pack two…
With your clothes, we use a concept called utility. When packing for a vacation, the utility of each piece of clothing is really how valuable that article of clothing is for your outfits and how many different weather situations it can be used for.
Confused yet? We certainly are. Let's get unstuck.
Picture you are taking a trip to New York City in Fall. In NYC you are going to want to go all out on your wardrobe, but do you really have to bring your whole closet? No. Let's put things in a utility perspective. Here's what you had planned on bringing:
- Puffy Winter Jacket
- Warm Boots
- Other Boots
- Walking Shoes
- Vest
- A Couple Pairs of Jeans
- A Couple Pairs of Leggings
- Tops
- Warm Tops
- Light Jacket
- And on and on and on
For us, we would ditch the puffy winter jacket, the other boots, one pair of jeans, and one pair of leggings. Why? Because these take up SO much space and are easily replaced! They have low utility.
Jewelry, Jewelry, Jewelry: You think we're going to tell you to leave jewelry at home, don't you… Nope! Jewelry is SO easy to bring along and can make you EXCITED about your outfits! Pack some jewelry in a small case, and bring it along so that you have options to dress-up or dress-down your wardrobe. When it comes to packing, jewelry is easier than loading up clothes, so bring it along.
We replace the puffy winter jacket with a warm top combined with the light jacket. If you absolutely need the big jacket, just wear it to the airport and stuff it in the overhead compartment once you board.
We always wear the warm boots or walking shoes to the airport also, because shoes are always so clunky and difficult to pack. If you get some easy-to-pack shoes, then bring them along, but otherwise best to limit your shoe selection to two or three.
Are one pair of jeans and one pair of tights really not enough? Is everyone you see on Friday night going to be with you on Saturday afternoon? Probably not… Bring one of each and find other ways to make your outfit stand out.
Another Big Tip: Pack neutral colors. Maybe not the best idea to bring your bright red shoes Dorothy, unless they go with a few different outfits. The more neutral colors you bring, the more versatile your wardrobe will be, and the better you'll be able to pack lightly!
We know you can get creative with your vacation wardrobe. Count the days you'll be gone. Just make sure you have that many outfits that are different-enough that you'll be happy!
We pack a lot of electronics. Drone, camera, Kindle, Headphones, computer, chargers for everything, the list goes on.
See if you can consolidate whenever possible. For instance, our drone and Kindle have the same charger, so we can get away with one! Also, it helps that we have the smallest drone DJI sells and the Kindle is a great space saver.
Really with electronics, we feel that they are more important than wardrobe, so we make space. But you have to pack them as efficiently as possible. Roll the chargers up really small, make your laptop accessible for airport security, and you'll be good to go!
Toiletries & Accessories
This category is really everything else you'll need once you get to your destination. Name of the game here is REMOVE ANYTHING YOU WON'T NEED! Julie has a toiletry bag with only the bare necessities.
No sunscreen on non-beach vacations. No hair curler for a hiking trip. And for face wash, lotion, shampoo, mouthwash, etc: Do you really need the whole package? Maybe you can find a smaller one to keep space manageable! For more tips on this, see our Pack Hacks post:
We don't travel without a few snacks. Key word: few. We don't bring a pantry-full to feed the whole plane. Just a little sustenance if we ever need a hold-over.
The reason is because Zach basically refuses to buy anything in an airport or on a plane. $15 for what costs $6 outside the airport? No thanks… Folks, admit it, the airport knows they can charge you more, so they do!
We usually get a small bag of beef jerky, a few granola bars, some nuts, and maybe something sweet like a chocolate bar. All of that is usually small enough to fit in the smallest pocket of a backpack, and it is enough to feed us for quite a while!
Find the Right Bag(s)
Finding the right bag is an essential piece of the packing puzzle. Our strategy is to always go with a two-bagger: one backpack and one rolling suitcase (carry-on size).
The backpack we rock is this North Coyote cooler backpack, but really any backpack will do! The larger the better, but make sure it is small enough to fit under an airplane seat. We love this one because it has an extremely large central pocket that fits any number of things, and it has a cooler pocket we use for picnics in our destination.
As for the rolling suitcase, any one of these will do fine. We recommend to get an affordable hard-sided case that fits in an overhead bin. Our unofficial rule is that we can only bring as many clothes as we can fit in our suitcase. Zach's rule is half a suitcase, because he has to pack the electronics in the other half 😁.
When packing your clothes, you have to roll your clothes. Have you never learned this trick? Time to learn now! It is an ENORMOUS space saver, and will allow you to maybe pack another top or two…
Rolling clothes is best done on a flat surface, the bed will work best. Essentially, you are going to take each piece of clothing, laying them out flat on the bed. Fold over once or twice the long way, then roll the article of clothing up as tightly as you can, like a sleeping bag or air mattress.
Pack each rolled item as tightly as possible into your luggage, making sure that nothing expands after you pack it. You'll be able to fit SO MUCH MORE using this strategy!
Lay Everything Out Before Packing
Lastly, one final tip before we get into the 'why' of packing light. Lay out everything before packing it away. Why? 2 reasons.
Number 1, you'll be able to make sure you have everything. There is not much worse than getting to your destination realizing you forgot a charger or your toiletries bag, both of which has happened to us.
Number 2, your last chance to put things away that you don't need! Or maybe you can start packing things in order of importance, so that once you have a full bag, you'll know that you won't get to bring anything that isn't already packed. Laying everything out beforehand will help you figure this out!
The 'WHY' of Packing Light
No Lost Luggage
Our very first vacation together was to San Diego, and Julie packed HEAVY. As in a giant-purple-suitcase-stuffed-to-the-brim. She checked the bag, and you can guess what happened… The bag did not make its way to San Diego.
What happened? Julie was balling her eyes out throwing a temper tantrum in the San Diego airport, and Zach realized maybe he shouldn't date this psycho… Well, that's only partially true, but you get the picture.
Here's what it comes down to. Would you rather pack lightly and guarantee your bag makes it, or pack heavily and risk not getting your bag? For us, it's a no brainer. Carry-ons for the win!
Easy Airport Experience
Have you ever met someone who liked standing in line? If you have, might be time to report that sociopath to the authorities… If not, then congratulations, you've chosen your friends wisely.
What is any airport full of? Lines… Lines at the airline desk. Lines at security. Lines at boarding. Lines to deplane. Lines at baggage claim. Everywhere you go, lines, lines, lines. I've got a prescription for your line addiction: packing light
We literally can not remember the last time we had to wait in line at the airline desk before security or at the baggage claim line. Matter of fact, it was probably that San Diego slugfest…
When you pack light in a carry-on and a personal item, you can roll straight to security, bypassing any line to check bags or get boarding passes. It honestly feels exhilarating passing a line, knowing that if you made some bad packing choices you'd be in that very line. Added benefit: you don't have to worry about your bag being over the 50 pound limit. If you've ever dealt with that, you know how fun it is…
What's more? Because your bags are smaller and lighter, you won't be running over other people's ankles trying to pull that flatbed truck you call a suitcase behind you. And you'll get to cruise straight from the plane to the car/train, not like those saps stuck waiting at the baggage claim line.
No Baggage Fees
Maybe the number one reason for why to pack light! Airlines can absolutely GOUGE you on baggage fees, so it is best to avoid this expense whenever possible.
Use that money for something better, like a new top to wear on your vacation, a souvenir to bring home, or our personal favorite… save it as a deposit for your next vacation! If you do that, then packing light literally translates to being able to take more vacations! Seems like a win-win to us.
More secrets on cost-cutting while traveling:
Less is More!
This is just as true in life as it is while packing for a vacation. Sometimes, the less you have, the happier you are.
Have you ever purged your closet and felt like a weight was lifted off your shoulders? Or cleaned out your garage and felt like you could run a marathon?
These things are real! Cleaning out your closet has a positive impact on your mental health, and it is a great way to live your life. I'm not saying packing light is the key to happiness, but I can guarantee it sure won't hurt!
There you have it, everything we know about how to pack light – and why! Use the picture below to pin this article and save it for later.

Yusmeiro Petit can probably take this off now.
I remember watching Yusmeiro Petit pitch against the Yankees last year when I had this random thought that "hey, this guy isn't so freaking bad." I hadn't been paying attention to him in San Francisco that season. There really wasn't a need. After three rough years in Arizona, I figured he would play out his career, bouncing around the minors or ending up with the Rockies or something. He struck out seven against the Yankees in 6 1/3, allowing six hits because no one ever said he wasn't hittable.
The Giants won that game 2-1.
In that 18-inning marathon with the Nationals in the NLDS, Petit struck out seven in six innings while allowing one hit. When he entered, I thought the Nats had the clear advantage, and maybe if the night isn't cold and windy or if the Nats actually had an approach at the plate other than swing real hard and hope the wind doesn't knock it down, that series and this postseason is a little different.1 Petit pitched great, though, after the Giants had already burned through six pitchers, so it was basically just him to eat innings in case something finally happened, like a Brandon Belt home run or something.
The Giants won that game 2-1 as well.
In the NLCS, after Ryan Vogelsong lasted all of three innings, allowing four earned to the Cardinals, Petit provided three innings of scoreless, one-hit relief, and the Giants came back and won that game 6-4. So, after Vogelsong surrendered four to the Royals last night in 2 2/3, should it come as a surprise that Petit came in at the top of the fourth inning and pitched three more scoreless, pitching out of trouble in the fifth and sixth after leadoff hits? The Giants were down 4-2 when he entered, up 7-4 when he left, and he's now 3-0 in this postseason while allowing just four hits in 12 innings. He's struck out 13, making his 9.8 K/9 just slightly lower than his career high in '14 of 10.2. Petit has lasted 2/3 of an inning more than the 37-year old Vogelsong who's started three games.
To think, Petit was once traded by the Marlins2 to Arizona for Jorge Julio (which is essentially punting), bounced around the Seattle organization for a few years, and signed by the Giants to a minor league contract. All the headlines today read journeyman reliever and the Giants stealing Game 4. To me, Petit, like the Royals Mike Moustakas, are what this postseason is all about: a few guys essentially given up on by teams and fans alike and now making headlines under the brightest lights imaginable.
We're discussing Petit today because the Giants came back and won, and isn't it amazing that on the same day where I write that Ned Yost probably should have used Brandon Finnegan to pitch to Pablo Sandoval in Game 3 (because Sandoval can't hit from the right side), Sandoval drives in two against Finnegan with a two-out single in the sixth? Bah! Stats are meaningless anymore, aren't they? Conventional wisdom, what's that? If there's a book, throw it out the window because it doesn't mean much this year.
I forgot one very important thing: when rules collide, such as a dismal history against lefties or the opportunity to play hero, opt for the latter. That's how it worked with Joe Panik last night. I don't think last night was the difference maker game I think is coming, but it's a step in the right direction. When you hit it so that even the Royals outfield can't catch up to it, it's either in the Bay or should be counted twice.
Degree of difficulty should count for something.
- I haven't written anything about this, but it was the most amazing piece of non-strategy that I've witnessed in a long time. Oh, look, another fly out. Hey, why not strike out going for the fences. Maybe the team could have tried to steal a base, drop a bunt, or play a little hit and run. Make the Giants earn the win. Sure, it sucks that the Giants tied it up with two outs in the ninth, negating Jordan Zimmermann's ascension to postseason BAMF, but doing nothing but swinging from the heels is nonsense. If Matt Williams would have stayed around a bit longer, maybe he could have, you know, done something. I'm not bitter about this. Damn, that game was stupid. ↩
- He was originally signed by the Mets. One day I'm going to figure out every player who was either signed by, played for, or traded by the Mets. There's a six degrees of Mr. Met thing going on here ↩

Who's Your Cousin?
What do the Wright brothers, Mark Twain, and John Wayne possibly have in common? You. That's right. Find out which historical figures– and even members of your ward– you are related to by checking out Relative Finder.
The Relative Finder project was started by two BYU professors who wanted to help people get excited about family history. Thus the creation of Relative Finder. I learned about Relative Finder from our ward family history consultant. One Sunday afternoon I decided to check it out myself to see what it was about.
I went to www.relativefinder.org and registered for a free account. I then was linked to FamilySearch where I signed in with my LDS username and password. After signing in, Relative Finder opened up and asked for my name as it appears on FamilyTree. With that information a search of my records began, and in only a moment a list of historical figures appeared. The list was divided into categories such as presidents, scientists, Declaration of Independence signers, and numerous others. Rather than scrolling through the entire list of over a 1,000 names, I clicked on some of the categories and found that I am distantly related to the Wright Brothers, Jesse James, Elvis Presley and Marion Robert Morrison (John Wayne).
LDS historical figures were broken into subcategories, such as Eight Witnesses, Mormon Battalion, pioneers, handcart companies and several others. Since I am a convert, I was amazed to see how many Church historical figures both living and dead I am related to. It appears that my all my relationships can be traced through my paternal grandmother's line, which carries back further than the 1600s. In going through the different LDS categories, I couldn't help but wonder why I was a convert rather than being born into the Church. Trying to answer that question would be a project all its own.
The column next to a name shows our relationship. The middle column shows the source information. Several of my sources were the Salem witch trials. When I hovered over and clicked the name of a grandmother who is mentioned in the witch trials a box popped up that gave some additional information including a link to a Wikipedia article about the trials. I clicked on the "view" button of any given name to see a pedigree chart beginning with the common ancestor. Included is a photo of each ancestor who has one on FamilyTree. I also found that by clicking on a name on the pedigree chart, I could go directly to that person's page on FamilyTree– where I saw more information about photos, stories, or documents added as well as any temple work that has been done.
Our ward family history consultant created a group for our ward. By signing into that I learned that I have many distant cousins in my ward. My closest relative is the bishop, who is a fifth cousin once removed. My most distant relative in the ward is a 14th cousin. I also learned that my husband is my eighth cousin once removed.
I suggest checking Relative Finder periodically as changes do happen. It's only been within the last couple of months that photos have been added to the pedigree view. And I've found my ward cousin list has grown as ward members have joined. Using Relative Finder is a great family activity, and an exciting way for the kids or grandkids to connect to historical figures and learn more about them.

Celeste's Breathing Minigame Helped My Anxiety
I have been making my way through one of my new favorite platformers Celeste and was struck by one of the activities the game has you do. During one of the cutscenes, Madeline and a character named Theo are going up a ski-lift, which is stopped by your doppelganger. At this point, Madeline begins to have a panic attack, and Theo must calm her down. You work to calm Madeline down in a player-controlled event and eventually, she relaxes and the starts to lift move again. I've been thinking about that event a lot and realized it has helped my anxiety quite a bit.
As a little aside about myself. I have bad social/situational anxiety which has become quite a bit of a problem for me. I make strides to improve myself as much as I can, but you can only get so far. I am always working to find new solutions to curb panic attacks, as after a few times using a tactic, it begins to not work; as if I am fighting an AI.
Enter Celeste, a game I went into completely blind, only to find out it is actually all about overcoming anxiety. The game, much like Getting Over It, personifies the protagonist's struggles into the form of a mountain for the player to cross. Madeline is determined to climb this mountain as a symbol of overcoming her anxiety even though people are telling her she cannot. This spoke to me much more than I thought this game would, and I appreciate seeing my issues personified so well.
The minigame you play to calm Madeline down has you holding and releasing the A button to simulate breathing in and out. Theo instructs you to imagine a feather. For each inhale the feather ascends, and for each exhale the feather falls. The gameplay involves keeping the feather in a box that is continually moving along with your breaths, and if you keep it there for long enough, the panic attack subsides.
As I was engaging in this, I caught myself breathing alongside the feather, and felt much calmer than I had in a long time. I decided I was going to give this a try to calm myself down during my next panic attack, and when it happened I couldn't visualize that feather quick enough. I was excited to find that this tactic worked for me, and I felt a calming energy wash over me that helped to cool me down. I was surprised at how quickly it worked, and how even a week later, it is still working.
Games have a way to personify abstract concepts in a way other mediums of art simply cannot, and a developer like Matt Makes Games using it to bring mental disorders to life can be a powerful tool for those struggling. I implore anybody struggling with a mental disorder to play Celeste, a test in fortitude with amazing teaching tools. Even though this game is quite difficult, the assist mode will allow less skilled players to take a crack at what is 2018's most important game so far.

Today, we are half way between our first weekend and our final weekend of shows. We had packed out audiences for most of our shows, giving us around 1,000 audience members. Due to the generosity of our patrons and the greatness of our God we are over our half-way mark of our goal, sitting at approximately $8,400, all of which will go to the Allentown Rescue Mission.
For those of you who weren't able to attend, there are still tickets available for this weekend, especially Thursday night. We hope that you are all able to attend this beautiful show. Of course, I am biased as the proud director of over seventy talented actors, but I believe I can say with confidence that this show is a wonderful way to start the holiday season.
Some reflections on the past week....
Theatre is hard. Theatre is glorious. Theatre is community.
As I leaned against the wall at the back of our current space, unable to sit down due to our packed out crowds, I absorbed the performance in exhausted wonder at the privilege that I have been given to wrestle with life's beauty and issues on stage. This doesn't happen in a vacuum. I collaborate with my actors, staff, and volunteers, often asking the near impossible from them with a smug smile because I am confident they can pull it off. They almost always do. I think I've been told 'no' twice in the twelve shows I've directed. This is because I work with amazing people who give, practically volunteer, their time to be able to bring my vision to fruition.
In between our Saturday night show and this Thursday night's show, I've been dragging myself out of bed to plug away at the other POTS work I must do, to catch up on house work, and just to do life. I think it may be the most exhausted I've been from a show, but I wouldn't trade the beauty or the community that comes with a theatrical life.

Blue Diamond expands its estate to 21, with the addition of independent Dorset garden centre, Orchard Park, which also has planning consent to triple its current size.
The garden centre, which is situated just outside Gillingham in Dorset has been trading as Orchard Park for the past 11 years. It started when two smaller popular local businesses - Milton Garden Plants in Milton-on-Stour and the Rare Breed Centre in Gillingham - got together in 2002.
The close partnership between Richard Cumming & Sue Hardy, who ran Milton Garden Plants – a specialist perennial nursery and country plant & garden centre – and Ron and Sheila Clark, who operated he Rare Breed Centre, Lagan freezer meat centre and children's play area, The Funny Farm, developed a concept for a new garden centre and farm shop.
Orchard Park managing director Richard Cumming said: "We're absolutely delighted that Blue Diamond will be taking over the business. We've worked hard with our staff to create a business which is successful at a local and regional level and has lots of potential".
The garden centre was built in 2004 on a green field site and has developed a strong customer base.
It is on an eight acre and has an existing planning consent to expand it more than three-fold to create a 50,000sq ft lifestyle centre. Blue Diamond managing director Alan Roper said: "Orchard Park is a very well located centre. It has a loyal customer base and we were particularly attracted by the opportunity of developing the centre and moving the business forward."
Gilbert Evans acted on behalf of Orchard Park during the acquisition. Gilbert Evans partner Mike Gilbert commenting said: "there's a strong demand for well-run garden centres with potential. We approached a limited number of parties and received very strong interest. We're all delighted with the result."

From the Greek katharos, meaning "to purge" or "cleanse" we derive the modern English catharsis. Colloquially, we use the word to signify a cleansing or purgation of our most worrisome troubles or thoughts. For many Catholics catharsis is found in the confessional. Some say writing is cathartic, while still others flail away at a heavy bag. My wife tells me that Pilate's is cathartic. I really don't know, but on occasion it is fun to watch.
Back to the point. When I write or fish, I scrape barnacles off the bow, sand away the rough edges of the day, buff the scratches out of whatever weighs on my mind. Yes, flyfishing is cathartic.
I won't be cliche and say that I lose myself in the rhythms of river and cast, the forms of fish and of fly. No, I do not lose myself. Rather, I find myself in those forms and rhythms. When I am fishing I am unfettered by the mundane troubles of the day. I can choose to set responsibility aside. I am purely myself.
I wax philosophical because the cathartic nature of the sport was especially important earlier this week. Early Sunday morning I was told that my father has cancer.
The "C" word. For God's sake, he's still a young man. I've never seen him ill.
Understand that I adore my dad. He is quite simply the finest man I know; a man of talent, integrity, compassion, and humility. Here, I will be cliche. My father is my hero, and the paradigm by which I judge the merits of my own life. He taught me how to drive, and how to drive a nail. He taught me how to cast a fly. He taught me how best to love my family. I am not now, nor could I ever be, ready to lose him.
The news was devastating, and when Adam phoned and asked if I could get a pass from Boss Lady for a little fishing, I was desperately in need of relief. We spent the entire day on the river, and I barely wet a line.
Instead, I watched Adam christen his first bamboo rod, an 8'6" Montague Manitou, which had been expertly refinished by Charlie Hise, a friend and the Orvis company's bamboo rod guy. The first fish on Adam's new rod was a gorgeous twenty-two inch brown; a special fish not only in terms of its size, but also for its spectacularly rich colors. Even though the honors are all Adam's, I will never forget that fish or my friend's excitement at having caught such a fish on such a rod.
Nor will I forget the intensity of Ben's stare as he focused all his will on a similarly outsized fish later that same evening. Again, I didn't fish much. Instead, I did my best to help Ben (a neophyte relatively new to the long rod) sting the fish he was working. Sadly, our best efforts weren't up to the task, but what fun would fishing be if we caught every fish every time? Those that get away make more meaningful those we capture.
And that is flyfishing. Flyfishing is all about the moment, a snapshot free of life's worries, fears and regrets. A life spent flyfishing is a collection of such moments, snapshots of the best of times. My father stands prominently in many of my snapshots, and I pray he'll be in many more.
Love you Pop.

Game Of Thrones S7 E4 Recap: 10 Things That Fried Our Brains In 'The Spoils of War'
It's the shortest Game Of Thrones episode ever, but that doesn't mean 'The Spoils Of War' doesn't pack plenty in - including several of the most monumental moments in the show's run.
Yep, this was a big one, possibly the biggest yet, so here's all of our favourite bits.
bronn and jaime reunited
It's been a while since these two knocked around together and - some mild bickering about money aside (it divides all couples eventually) - it's good to see them back. Bronn wants the castle he was promised, but Jaime believes the more you have, the more it weighs you down. We guess Jaime's gold hand is heavier than it looks.
But it's just friendly banter, and we're sure everything's going to be just fine between these two by the time the credits roll. No big problems to deal with here, it's all cool.
mark gatiss is back…
…And he's looking smugger than usual, what with the Lannisters getting ready to pay their debts in full. But, until he actually has the cash he's been promised, he's going to continue to throw pass agg shade. Much like our bank manager, then.
Still, we hope nothing happens to that gold Cersei's promised him. We're sure it'll be fine though.
bran's been watching a lot of game of thrones
Okay, we get what Bran's power is now. When he was a greenseer, he saw the future. Now that he's a three-eyed raven, Bran is the world's biggest Game Of Thrones Stan. Like, he's the kind of dude who goes to conventions and keeps replica dragon's eggs in an ornate box.
That's because he's also the sort of dude who quotes the show constantly (such as when he says Littlefinger's classic 'Chaos is a ladder' line back at him, like he's just asked him to sign his action figure).
We're not sure how Littlefinger's going to feel when he finds out Bran also saw the episode where we found out Littlefinger sent the assassin to kill him, an act which directly led to the events of Baelor. Looks like Ned's going to finally get justice after all.
"I remember what it was like to be Brandon Stark, but I remember so much else now." This is basically what we said when we started binging the show too, Bran.
arya's back at winterfell? arya's back at winterfell!
A huge moment for show watchers and book readers alike, and - after a stressful scene where it seems like she's not going to get in - just the sight of Arya sitting on a snowy wagon looking at her old home gave us goosebumps. But then the guards who brought her into the castle turn around, and she's gone!
arya and sansa reunited
Phew, it's okay - the guards tell Sansa what's happened, and she knows exactly where Arya is, and goes straight to her. We're not sure if we could have coped with this plot thread being extended any further - we've basically already waited six years for this. But as lovely as the sight of Sansa and Arya hugging is, we can't wait for Jon to get back and see his other sister is home. "When he sees you, his heart will probably stop," Sansa tells Arya. OURS TOO SANSA. OURS TOO.
Sidenote: What with Bran cradling the dagger earlier in the episode, and Sansa and Arya visiting Ned's tribute in the crypt, anyone else think Littlefinger's about to be added to, then crossed off, Arya's list pretty soon? If that happens this season, well, RIP us because it's hard to live with an exploded brain.
bran and arya catch up
"I saw you at the crossroads," Bran tells Arya. All right mate, this isn't Love Island and you're not Marcel from Blazin' Squad. Still, Bran's weirdness leads to an important moment, him handing Arya the Valyrian steel dagger Littlefinger's crony used to try to assassinate him way back in season one. That means Arya has a Valyrian steel weapon now - which is hugely significant for the war to come. Valyrian steel and dragonglass are the only weapons that can kill White Walkers. So it looks like our fave is safe for the time being.
jon's cave
As if this episode didn't contain enough fan service, we cut to Dragonstone and the subtlest hint that Dany fancies Jon (we mean, who wouldn't after a romantic trip into a cave to gawp at some dragon glass? Wookey Hole eat your heart out!) which will make several shippers very happy.
But then Jon shows Dany some cave paintings (which are so on the nose in terms of what he needs from her - to team up against the White Walkers - we're pretty sure he drew them himself) and it's back to her wanting him to bend the knee. Should have quit while you were ahead Jon!
arya vs brienne
Okay, so we can't write too much about this scene because we're crying too hard. Arya, in Winterfell, sword-fighting, using the skills that Syrio gave her. OUR FEELINGS.
Now, can someone hurry up and add some lightsaber effects to this scene for us please? Thanks.
jon and theon reunited
We're going to ignore the bit where Missandei (an interpreter) hasn't heard of the concept of a bastard (which seems slightly unlikely, seeing as she knows about everything else in Westeros, but okay) and cut straight to the bit where Theon washes up on Dragonstone, because IT'S QUITE SIGNIFICANT.
After seasons and seasons of keeping all these characters as far apart as possible, everyone's back together. Don't expect hugs from this scene though, Theon did all those bad things in Winterfell in season two, remember? Luckily, he saved Sansa in season five, or Jon would have killed him in season seven (this one).
um, what just happened?
First, we get arguably the greatest battle in Game Of Thrones history (it's the first one that features a Dragon turning Lannister soldiers into literal ashes, after all). Then Bronn SHOOTS DROGON, and we worry we're going to be the ones who die because we can't actually deal with seeing a dragon getting killed today, but then Drogon turns around and fries that big crossbow thing and we breathe a sigh of relief the size of Wun Wun.
But then we gasp, because it looks like Jaime's going to die, but then someone saves him, and he doesn't. Or does he? We did mention that heavy golden hand earlier, we're pretty sure that thing doesn't float.
Now get checking out the GOT cast revealing the craziest fan theories ever....

Mayor David Miller calls on Torontonians to sign global petition pushing for climate deal in Copenhagen
On the eve of Mayor David Miller's departure for Copenhagen, where he will represent Toronto as Chair of the C40 at the Climate Summit for Mayors, he invited Torontonians to join him in signing the "Hopenhagen" petition which calls for world leaders to reach an agreement to address climate change. The petition, which has been signed by more than 1.7 million people around the globe, will be presented to world leaders at the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference.
Mayor Miller, who helped convene the Climate Summit for Mayors, will continue to champion the leadership and actions taken by cities around the world and in Toronto, where the City has lowered its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 40% since 1990. Toronto's goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. A recommendation from the mayors of the world to the heads of state of the world will be a central part of the summit.
"Toronto and other cities are leading the fight on climate change and we're going to Copenhagen to show the world how," said Mayor Miller. "I'll be in Copenhagen as Chair of the C40 fighting for action on climate change with more than 100 mayors from around the globe because action is urgently needed. Torontonians want to live in a green city, and it's in cities that the fight against climate change will be won or lost. I encourage all Torontonians to join me in signing the global petition which calls for world leaders to act now."
Toronto leadership on the environment will be profiled in the "Future Cities Pavilion" along with nine other cities. Each of the cities has prepared a video which will run 24 hours a day for the duration of the UN Conference. Toronto's video showcases many of the City's environmental solutions including our Deep Lake Water Cooling system, the largest of its kind in the world. The system uses cold water from Lake Ontario to reduce the energy demand for air-conditioning in high-rise buildings in downtown Toronto, including City Hall, by up to 90 per cent.
Other high profile Summit events include a roundtable discussion - Cities act and show HOW! - where mayors will present case studies on environmental initiatives from their own cities.
Regular updates about the Mayor's efforts at the Summit, and more information about the Climate Summit for Mayors and a link to the "Hopenhagen" petition can be found at
About the Copenhagen Climate Summit for Mayors
Mayors from more than 100 cities around the world will attend the Summit, which is being held alongside the United Nations heads of state Climate Change Conference. The Summit for Mayors is an opportunity for cities to continue their work in leading the global climate agenda and send a clear message to the heads of state and all residents that cities will continue to act to fight climate change. Toronto is represented at the conference by Toronto Mayor David Miller, Chair of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group.
About C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group
C40 is a group of the world's largest cities committed to tackling climate change. Cities have a central role to play in tackling climate change as cities bear a disproportionate responsibility for causing it. Cities and urban areas consume 75 per cent of the world's energy and produce up to 75 per cent of its greenhouse gas emissions. That is why it is important for cities to work together, set the agenda on this issue and show leadership on this issue. Through effective partnership working with the Clinton Climate Change Initiative C40, cities are reducing the emissions which contribute to climate change.
Toronto is Canada's largest city and sixth largest government, and home to a diverse population of about 2.6 million people. It is the economic engine of Canada and one of the greenest and most creative cities in North America. Toronto has won numerous awards for quality, innovation and efficiency in delivering public services. 2009 marks the 175th anniversary of Toronto's incorporation as a city. Toronto's government is dedicated to prosperity, opportunity and liveability for all its residents.

Today is the national day of prayer.
As you journey through the day keep in mind the fact that God is present and desires to hear from His creation. What are you praying for today? Have you found that talking to God is a priority? Take a few moments and share with Hold To Truth what you are sharing with God.
"Prayer is not to inform God or to move Him unwillingly to have mercy, as if, like some proud prince, He requires a certain amount of recognition of His greatness as the price of His favor; prayer fits our hearts by conscious need and true desire and dependence to receive the gift which He is ever willing to give, but we are not always ready to receive." Alexander Maclaren

I don't know if I have stated it during the project but I have this obsession with giraffes. A few years ago there was a commercial that featured a mini giraffe on a treadmill and I have been asking for one since then. Well tonight my dream came true. Shannon had me go sit in my chair and told me she would be right back with a surprise. She walked into the living room wearing a giraffe onesie and it is so cool. Just for fun we took tonight's photo with her wearing her new gear.
Until tomorrow,

The Old West: Cowboys riding the range, cattle ranchers, six-shooters and dream-chasers on the new frontier. Some 150 years ago, that was the life you would find in the area now called North Phoenix.
When Phoenix began to grow from the downtown area out, just before the start of the 20th century, North Phoenix was merely grazing land for cattle and sheep.
Most of North Phoenix remained unsettled land in the early 1900s. A system of canals was planned in the late 1920s to make the area an irrigated agricultural paradise. A major portion was named "Paradise Valley" as a result. It wasnt until after World War II and the development of air conditioning that the area started to stand up and be noticed. The City of Phoenix was growing rapidly and the canal projects were abandoned. Fueled by mild winters, high environmental quality, low cost of living and available, relatively inexpensive land, rapid growth developed.
Today, North Phoenix is a perfect mix of the Old West and modern lifestyles.
Just about wherever you turn, there is a reminder of some sort of how life used to be. In North Phoenix, it isnt uncommon to see something straight out of the Old West the way it was 1 1/2 centuries ago next to a recently constructed building or home.
With the Valley owning one of the fastest growth rates in the country, its certain North Phoenix will continue to grow. It always will maintain a very special link to its roots roots that have made North Phoenix a good place to live, work and play.

"I have played many courses over the 20 plus years that I have been playing and I must admit that this is the best one by far, not only was the course excellent but the hospitality was second to none, was welcomed from the moment we got there."Brian Seal - Visitor
"I was a member here for nearly 30 years and my name is on the clubhouse wall twice. Simply put, I love Surbiton golf club and if we ever move back to the area I'll be applying to re-join."Greg Sharp - Visitor
"I agree with Greg, I was a member for nearly 30 years too, played yesterday, best condition I've ever seen the course, magnificent job, the whole set up was great, met some old friends, also Paul the pro, top man."Keith Flack - Visitor
"Our Society has been coming to Surbiton for the past 20 years. In all that time I can't remember ever hearing a single complaint from one of our members. The course is always in good condition, the staff are always courteous and helpful and the food excellent. I would recommend Surbiton Golf Club to any society thinking of booking with you." Alan Borley - EDSC Golf Society
"The LWT golf society has been playing at Surbiton for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. We are always welcomed with a cheery smile from the office the pro shop and the catering staff The course is perfect for a friendly day's golf but with enough challenges to keep everyone on their toes. We play a number of courses throughout the year, but Surbiton is always first in the diary" Larry Davis - LWT Golf Society
"Onva has been hosting its golf day at Surbiton for the last four years. Each year it gets better. The course condition is fantastic and the club goes out of its way to make everything easy. We wouldn't think of booking anywhere else." Matt Manners - Onva Consulting Golf Society
""Surbiton is a lovely old fashioned parkland course; narrow fairways, small greens, plenty of mature trees. Lots of changes of height and direction which adds interest. Some spectacular views from the 5th 10th and 16th tees. Not long by modern standards but you need to think your way round rather than batter it into submission." David Downing - member
"I just finished the Seniors April Qualifying Scroll and wanted to thank Tony and his team for the amazing way the course now presents. Six weeks ago (after the worst rain on record) we thought we would never play on it again and, now, it is, seemingly, better than ever with fairways to die for. Hearty congratulations to a fantastic greenkeeping team." Colin Stokes - member
"The club is run by the members and for the members who essentially love golf. The result is a well maintained and constantly improving course with loads of well organised events and competitions." Richard Gray - member

Hardin County Sheriff has a solution for his jail that will benefit EVERYONEPosted by Jack Howser on Saturday, September 1st, 2018 @ 4:33 pm.
HARDIN CO., Ill. - Leave it to practical-minded Hardin County Sheriff JT Fricker to come up with a solution to an issue that's kind of crippled county residents and those from surrounding counties for several years now: The closure of the Illinois Department of Corrections work camp out on Highway 1 north of Cave-in-Rock.
Fricker posted on the Hardin County Sheriff's Department Facebook page the following:
For those mobile-y challenged, it reads:
When the Hardin County Work Camp closed our community took a hard hit. This was one of the few major employers in our area. Although our community fought to keep it open the attempts were unsuccessful and there are no plans of reopening it. Tonight (Thursday - Jack note) Sheriff Fricker met with the commissioners about his plan to pen the work camp as Hardin County's new detention center. The former work camp would provide us with enough room to house between 75 to 100 inmates and would employ approximately 35 to 40 workers! Our current jail is the 2nd oldest that's not had major renovations and the very smallest jail in the state. We house 6 inmates in 3 double cells and employ 3 full time and 5 part time jailers/dispatchers. Even though our jail always passes inspection without issues, the building is old and has been grandfathered in under Illinois Jail Codes. We are thankful for our jail however the new detention center will house federal inmates like Saline and White counties do now, inmates from surrounding counties that don't have jails and the overflow of inmates in other counties. Housing these inmates will bring in revenue for our community! We are currently working with state and federal resources to secure funds for this project. Although we are still in the early stages of planning we are excited for the employment and revenue opportunities and to bring life back to an existing resource in our community!
It's a great idea...and it needs folks to get behind it; not just those from Hardin, but also from the surrounding counties of Gallatin, Saline, Pope, Johnson, etc....especially if the ongoing push to gather up illegals (federal criminals) begins in earnest and the facilities in counties where the majority of them light (Gallatin, White, Wayne, Hamilton and Franklin to the north; Johnson, Union, Jackson, Alexander to the south and west) fill up and overflow. Federal holding brings in big bucks, yours mine and our tax dollars at work...why not put them to work in a place where people need jobs??
Go to, JT....git er done.
Don't forget (because apparently the word is slow getting out, since we didn't take it to our now-defunct Fecesbook page) - We're no longer producing the print version, so you won't be getting anymore copies in the mail. We will be refunding all print subscribers over the next several months, so watch the mail for your refund....and use it to subscribe to our online version, which is in the process of getting reworked and will be rolling out very soon! If you're missing your Fecesbook fix of Disclosure...hey, we didn't like the idea of the CIA or any other alphabet agency having access to all our stuff, since MarkyMark Zucked all of you with that exact thing, and we didn't want it done to us anymore...so we signed up for GAB.ai and Minds.com. Check us out on both of those at the hotlinks on the names, and join us there. Say no to the Zucking of America...and make a dent in MarkyMark's wallet.

A very warm welcome to Blackstem Plants and our website for 2019.
We are a specialist plant nursery near Lamberhurst in Kent.
There are many new plants this year and as usual many are weird but all are quite wonderful. Our selection is based on plants that we like, that look good in the garden and that provide a little something extra for wildlife. Very few are chosen for their current popularity in garden centres - you won't find hanging baskets or bedding plants here. Hopefully you'll find some interesting varieties of old favourites but also something new, a bit different. We grow everything at the nursery from seed, cutting or division.
Some plants will not be available until they mature, and we will be adding plants to this site throughout the year. Do get in touch should you require further information.
We add interesting items to our Events page as well as Facebook and Instagram.
We are open from Spring until Autumn, from 10 am to 6 pm by appointment.
Please note that we do not supply by mail order.

A nonprofit organization that serves recovering addicts and homeless people is challenging the city of Blue Island's authority to order it to shut down its operations.
Three Blue Island City Council members said they were unaware of the order and raised questions about the leadership of Mayor Domingo Vargas. A central question is why Blue Island taxpayers are footing the bill for legal services to pursue a dispute that apparently was resolved in 2014.
"I can't comment on that, that's all pending right now," Vargas told me before Tuesday's city council meeting. "They have to comply with whatever the building department says."
Attorney Leslie Quade Kennedy of Evergreen Park-based Odelson & Sterk wrote in an Aug. 28 letter to Affordable Recovery Housing that the organization was in violation of the city's zoning code.
"Affordable Recovery has blatantly flouted Blue Island's zoning code," Kennedy wrote. "You must immediately abate the zoning violation by ceasing and desisting operation of Affordable Recovery … at the premises."
Affordable Recovery is continuing its operations while it awaits a response from the city.
Affordable Recovery Housing first occupied the former Mother of Sorrows Catholic High School and convent complex at 13811 Western Ave. in 2011. Kennedy, a former Blue Island City Council member, wrote that the property is zoned residential and that Affordable Recovery needed to obtain a special-use permit to continue occupying the 250-bed facility.
Blue Island ordered tenants in Affordable Recovery's residential program evicted in 2012, saying the facility did not comply with a building code that required sprinklers in rooms where people slept.
Affordable Recovery sued and prevailed in 2014 when a court ruled that the state —not the city — holds jurisdiction over regulation of residential treatment programs. The Illinois Department of Human Services licenses agencies that house recovering drug users and alcoholics.
"Under the DHS regulations, plaintiff is not required to install sprinkler systems," U.S. District Judge Robert M. Dow wrote in a ruling on Nov. 17, 2014. "DHS regulations preempt the city's Life Safety Code such that the city may not enforce its sprinkler requirements against plaintiff."
In an interview Wednesday, Affordable Recovery founders John and Mary Jo Dunleavy and their attorney said they are frustrated by a lack of cooperation from the city.
"There is a history of prejudice against recovery homes like ours," John Dunleavy, president and CEO said. "People tend to be afraid that recovery homes are dangerous. We have a good track record at Mother of Sorrows."
Contrary to the mayor's claims, the Dunleavys and their attorney, Andy Norman, said the two parties are not involved in an active legal case.
"Right now there is no litigation," Norman said. "There appears to be animus toward us."
Three city council members — Candace Carr, Kevin Donahue and Nancy Rita — told me they were unaware of the letter ordering Affordable Recovery to vacate its facility.
"None of this has been discussed in closed session, or otherwise, with any of the council members, as far as I am aware," Carr said. "Much of city business is now being conducted without the council's knowledge."
Affordable Recovery also wants the city to respond to its requests for permits to work on a building that was donated to the organization. Dunleavy said he applied in May for permits to work on the former Libby, McNeill & Libby building at 13636 S. Western Ave.
Until 1968, workers produced ketchup and other products in the vast, 550,000-square-foot facility on 19 acres. In the 1980s, it was redeveloped as the Blue Island Industrial Terminal and housed several small businesses as tenants. The last four tenants recently had to vacate the building when the city shut off the water due to a $9,000 unpaid water bill, Norman said.
"We want our permits approved," Norman said. "They will not give us any response. We're just asking for communication. That's not unreasonable."
John Dunleavy said he's applied for six building permits to secure the property with fencing, clean up the exterior and remove interior walls erected when the Blue Island Police Department used part of the interior for training exercises.
Dunleavy said he's fielding offers from trucking companies and others interested in using the property. Work on the building and site would provide employment for Affordable Recovery clients and others, he said.
"We want to bring the building back to life and create jobs," he said. "We're not asking to be exempt from paying property taxes."
Donahue said he and other council members were being kept in the dark about Affordable Recovery.
"I was unaware of the Libby building and I don't remember hearing anything new in regards to Mother of Sorrows," Donahue said.
"I might disagree with the ruling but I respect the decision," he said of the 2014 judgment that appeared to resolve the dispute over jurisdiction.
Since winning re-election to a second term as mayor in 2017, Vargas has fired several key city administrators. Ousted officials include John Rita, public safety director; ShawnTe Raines, city attorney; Lori Brown, deputy finance director; Andie Trucco, deputy general counsel; and Angel Infante, building commissioner.
Vargas appointed Cary Horvath, of Odelson & Sterk, to serve as city attorney.
"Cary Horvath is the city of Blue Island's attorney, not just Mayor Vargas's attack dog and personal attorney," Donahue said. "What has gone on with Mayor Vargas since May of 2017 speaks for itself and I have said multiple times that because of his actions we — the residents — all now have to suffer from a lack of leadership that's also inefficient and ineffective."
In a Sept. 4 reply to Kennedy, Norman wrote that the 2014 court ruling deemed the city has "little authority" to regulate the residential facility at the former Mother of Sorrows campus.
"We have had almost four years of peaceful, successful and uninterrupted operations at Mother of Sorrows on behalf of our residents in recovery," Norman wrote.
"We suspect that this is all related to our attempts to rehabilitate the Libby Building, and we reiterate our demands that the general contractor's and all permit applications be approved immediately," Norman also wrote.

Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that's taken over our lives.
The president hasn't yet made himself everyone's favorite.
Indeed, when his 2018 budget was announced last week, many saw cuts to arts funding, education, health and even Meals On Wheels and gasped.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is one of those left unimpressed.
In a storm of tweets on Sunday, the astrophysicist offered his own grim criticism of Donald Trump's budget. To lighten the mood, he made use of the president's most famous campaign slogan.
"The fastest way to Make a America Weak Again: Cut science funds to our agencies that support it," began Tyson.
He continued: "The fastest way to Make America Sick Again: Cut funding to the National Institutes of Health."
Then there was: "The fastest way to Make America Stupid: Cut funds to programs that support education."
Which was followed by: "The fastest way to thwart Earth's life-support systems for us all: Turn EPA into EDA -- the Environmental Destruction Agency." Shouldn't this have read "The fastest way to Make America Not Exist Again"?
Tyson wasn't done. "The fastest way to melt glaciers & flood the World's coastal cities: Ignore scientists and do nothing to stem the rise of CO2," he tweeted. And then: "We can all imagine a land that provides no support for Art. But is that a place you'd want to Live? To Visit? To Play?" Does golf count as art? It does in my world.
Tyson had almost reached his tweet-raging conclusion. But first he offered: "The very best way to support and feed your delusions: Surround yourself with people whose world views match yours exactly." Wait, but don't scientists only ever hang out with scientists?
Still, as with all the finest treatises, Tyson's conclusion was succinct.
"We all want to Make America Great Again. But that won't happen until we first Make America Smart Again," he tweeted.
The White House didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Perhaps the president himself will reply with his own tweetstorm soon.

The weather was unseasonably warm this past weekend. I was sort of bummed because we had plans to visit an apple farm and a pumpkin patch and in my mind, we would be dressed in sweaters and sipping hot cider or hot chocolate and we would be feeling autumnal (can you feel autumnal?).
Short sleeves and sunshine aside, we had an eventful day. I got to photograph my favorite subjects and it inspired me to add another day to the fall mini sessions. I got such a great response to the previous mini sessions post, that I am almost booked solid. Yay! And Thanks!
So, if you weren't able to schedule a session on the 18th or 25th, I'm also offering sessions on November 1.
here's the scoop: sessions are 30-45 minutes. included with your session are edited, high resolution image files and an 8x10 print. the cost is $150.
spaces are limited. to book your session, email us: email@example.com

The utility will subsidize sprinkler system maintenance.
As rain eases drought conditions, Gainesville Regional Utilities is giving its customers incentives for devices that shut off sprinklers during wet weather.
GRU announced Monday that it has started offering water conservation rebates for its customers. The utility is giving a $50 rebate for maintenance of in-ground sprinkler systems and a $25 rebate for sensors that turn off sprinklers during rain.
Customers need to get the work on their irrigation systems through a GRU-approved contractor to receive the rebates. The sensors prevent sprinklers from automatically activating at times when rainfall makes them unnecessary, said Rick Hutton, supervising utility engineer for GRU.
"What happens with in-ground irrigation systems is people sort of set it and forget it," he said.
In recent years, GRU has increased rebates for energy-saving appliances as a way to reduce electricity use. But the utility has focused less on water conservation, except for charging higher rates to customers who use excessive water.
Lingering drought across the Southeast has brought greater attention to water conservation. The U.S. Drought Monitor indicates that drought conditions have eased in Florida this year, with less than a third of the state designated as abnormally dry as compared to nearly all the state one year ago.
Gainesville is still 1.43 inches below normal rainfall for the year, said Matt Zibura, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jacksonville. While May is typically a dry month, he said, the long-term forecast shows rainfall to be near normal for the month.
"It's normal to be dry," he said. "Hopefully, we won't be too much below normal if this outlook's right."
Long-term lack of rainfall and projections of a growing population have raised concerns about drinking water supplies in the state. Florida utilities have typically waited for crisis conditions before aggressively promoting conservation, said Jim Heaney, chairman of the environmental engineering department at the University of Florida.
"It's usually proportional to the severity of the water supply situation," he said.
He cited the example of Tampa Bay, where excessive groundwater pumping in the 1990s caused water bodies to dry and salt water to intrude into the aquifer. Tampa Bay Water, a water provider for six local governments in West Central Florida, subsequently pushed a major effort to retrofit toilets and change out shower heads to conserve water.
But Heaney said the Florida cities have generally lagged in water conservation efforts as compared to cities such as Austin and Seattle. He was part the workshop last week at GRU to discuss ways to reduce water use.
"Even if we're not in a dire situation like other places are, we want to be ahead of the curve," he said.
GRU is targeting lawn irrigation as a way to cut excess water use, Hutton said. The utility estimates its customers use a third of their water for outdoor irrigation, while some experts say more than half of household water consumption is used on lawns.
Hutton said the area's drinking water source, the Murphree Wellfield, has enough water to supply water for the next two decades. Conservation efforts can extend that time and prevent environmental impacts, he said.
"We want to make sure our future withdrawals are not going to have an impact on our environment," he said.
Since 1992, the utility also has charged higher rates for excessive water use. The rate structure, which has been expanded in recent years, charges a higher rate for water use exceeding 9,000 gallons a month and the highest rate for water use beyond 25,000 gallons.
Heaney said it's hard to gauge the effects of such a rate structure, but charging more for water can be a way to give customers a better sense of its worth.
"You get people's attention when it's a lot of money," he said.

Tu Ever since Nokia and Microsoft entered a partnership in which the Finnish phonemaker would manufacture handsets featuring Windows Phone, there's been speculation over when the first such devices would hit the market. It's been expected that that would happen this fall. Now a tweet on Nokia's corporate Twitter account offers slightly more specifics. It says the first such devices will ship in the fourth quarter of this year. It's unknown specifically when that would happen, or which countries would get them, though the tweet cc's Nokia Australia. The tweet reads: "@gorval32 We cannot confirm local availability but the 1st Nokia w/ WP devices will ship in Q4 and with volumes in 2012 cc @NokiaAustralia." Nokia chose Windows Phone as the OS for all its smartphones going into the future and a lot is at stake for both companies in this partnership. Both companies have seen their shares of the mobile phone market slide, and both are counting on the partnership to help them regain market share. Comments

HOW A BOUDOIR SHOOT HELPED THIS NEW MOM FEEL BEAUTIFUL AGAIN | Amber's Vancouver Boudoir Testimonial
There are certain times when writing a new blog post that I'm not in flow the flow of things, I drag my feet, and hesitate to hit the keys. That sentiment could not be further from the truth for this post! I feel so incredibly honoured to bring this post to life on the blog today. The words absolutely were flowing out for me as I typed this
Over the years I have had the honour of working with some women who are truly beautiful from the inside out. Amber is definitely on this list of gorgeous souls.
When I photographed her post-baby, she had shared her thoughts on her boudoir photoshoot experience with me here at Chelsey Luren Portraits. Don't believe me? Check out what she had to say in her testimonial here:
Admittedly, as a now stay at home mom and trying to bounce back from pregnancy, I was nervous about doing a boudoir shoot as I wasn't really comfortable in my new body. But I decided to go for it.
Chelsey was amazing to work with. I felt an immediate sense of ease & comfort. She made me feel amazing in the body I was in. I felt so confident. She made me feel beautiful & for the first time since I have had my son I felt amazing.
When I got my photos back I felt so good about myself. It was just the boost of confidence I needed. It made me see myself in a new and beautiful way. I'm so grateful for the experience I had with her and wouldn't hesitate to refer her for a second!
Knowing that I have been able to make even the smallest impact on how women see themselves and feel about their bodies, is the entire reason why I became a boudoir photographer. Seeing the transformation that comes from having a boudoir photoshoot is such an honour and a gift that I am so grateful to be able to share with the world.
Thank you so much Amber for sharing this review of your experience and allowing me to share your images!
Do you have more questions about your Vancouver boudoir photo shoot and what to expect with Chelsey Luren Portraits? Please don't hesitate to send me a quick email. I can't wait to hear from you!

Note: All applicants will be subject to a credit reference check by the lender.
Credit is subject to application and status. Warehouse Express Ltd trading as Wex Photo Video act as credit broker and not the lender. Barclays Partner Finance act as the lender.
Can I repay early? If so how?
No repayments are scheduled in the initial six-month deferral period. However, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, but a £29.00 early-settlement will be incurred. Such repayments may be made to Barclays Partner Finance by cheque, debit card or standing order. Unfortunately it is not possible to set up a direct debit within the deferral period. Further information on how to make such repayments will be set out in the loan agreement pack provided by Barclays Partner Finance.
What happens if I don't repay within the first six months (deferral period)?
Following the six month deferral period, Barclays Partner Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 19.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Late payment penalties and early repayment charges will apply from this point. Barclays Partner Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six month deferral period is due to elapse. Note: If you chose to spread the cost and pay monthly, interest is charged from the start of the loan, not from the start of the repayment period.
What will I receive from the finance provider (lender)?
Barclays Partner Finance will send a loan agreement pack approximately four weeks after delivery of the goods, confirming that the account has been activated and, from this point, it is possible to make repayments against the loan.
