Crochet Bikini
A Small Piece on the Disadvantages of Crochet Bikinis
The wonderful thing about crocheting is that you can make almost anything your little heart desires. The field, however, has taken this bold claim just a little too far with the following item. Imagine how good it will feel this summer to strut your stuff along the beach in your own handmade crochet bikini. You're imagining? Got the fun, attractive, carefree picture in your mind? Good. Now drop that image because it's as far from the reality of crochet bikinis as you can get. Yes, in theory, there are a number of seemingly valid advantages to this project. Crochet bikinis come in a variety of styles for you to choose from. Do you prefer to wear a halter-top, tube top, or maybe the more modest tank top? Bottoms range from the standard size briefs, and go up to shorts briefs, and down (and I mean way down) to string. You even have a choice of shapes you can try out for your crochet bikini.
Triangle is the typical trend, though a fun style that is up and coming is the circular crochet bikini. There's so much you can do with this one. You can simply crochet a string of circular pieces together, or, use different sized circle combinations. For the more contemporary-styled crocheters, there is the square crochet bikini. It's fun and easy, but still chic`. If you are really out to make heads turn, the spider crochet bikini is the only choice for you. This bikini uses web-like strands to connect the front and back pieces (and the two cups on top), while the actual suit is usually crocheted in solid mesh. The ultimate, though, in risqué beach attire is the open and closed mesh crochet bikini. This style needs no further explanation. Other options in crochet bikini land are the gauge size, and tightness or looseness of your stitch. Colors will vary along with personality type, as well.
So, yes, it seems that crochet bikinis are a must for any beach goer. But wait. While the ease of making them and the, ahem, unique tan line they can deliver do have their appeal, crochet bikinis lose BIG points in the practicality department. Crocheted pieces are made of yarn or thread that is very often soft and comfortable over other clothing or on more weathered body parts. I think, though, that you will be hard pressed to find a thread that doesn't send you into epileptic fits of itching when placed directly against the more private areas of the body.
The concealment, or complete lack their of, factor is also to be considered. Regardless of the stitch, gauge, and yarn used, the majority of these suits can hardly cover much more than the size tag they could be sporting! Most convincing, though, of all the arguments against crochet bikinis would have to be the following scenario. (If you don't take my advice, and swear off of crochet bikinis after this story, I have only five words for you: get back to your football-this article is for women, only!) Imagine, just imagine, boldly walking along the beach, hair whipping in the wind, suntan oil glistening in the midday sun. Now imagine looking down, suddenly, to find your very own, handmade crochet bikini, quickly unraveling before your own (and everyone else's) eyes! I for one would probably go into hiding for a few years, or, at best, revert to a lumberjackesque style of dress for the rest of the summer. Good enough argument? I rest my case.
So before you go out in your freshly crocheted bikini, perhaps ask yourself if you're really interested in interviewing for the next VS catalogue on your day at the beach. A quick look in the mirror may reveal that you are revealing much more than you are willing. (In which case, these lovely crochet bikinis double as great coasters!)
In short, perhaps to save yourself the likely embarrassment of the above happenstance, or any other awkward, compromising, or down right humiliating situation, you should consider crocheting a hat, instead. There are wonderful patterns out there, and think about it, what's the worst that'll happen if your hat comes undone? A little bit of hat hair is certainly better than having to streak across your favorite beach!

Writing defines u is the application which defines the Positive and Negative Qualities of a person.It is the process of 22 contiguous step which calculates the characteristics of a person.Graphology is the study of handwriting. As a theory or practice for understanding a person's character, disposition, and attitudes from their handwriting, graphology is generally considered pseudoscience.
How you craft letters and words can designate more than 5K diverse personality traits, according to the science of graphology, also known as handwriting analysis.
A person's handwriting is as unique as their personality, and there's good reason to look for traces of their personality in their handwriting. Whether you want to analyze someone's handwriting for fun, or you're considering a job in graphology, you can learn to notice the differences in handwriting that connect to differences in personality. It's such an amazing thing!
The primary basis of handwriting analysis as a science is that every person in the world has a unique way of writing. When we were all kids in primary school, we learned to write based on a particular copybook - a style of writing. Which copybook our handwriting is based on when and where we grew up. So at first, we all probably wrote in a similar way to kids of our own age and location. But with the passing of time, those writing characteristics we learned in school - our style characteristics - became only the underlying method of our handwriting. We developed individual characteristics that are unique to us and distinguish our handwriting from someone else.
Some companies use graphology during recruitment processes and the methods have also been used in court cases.The result of this application will be 87.88-95% accurate if the analysis is performed with recent and regular handwriting.
This matter is collected with the help of 137 journals by -"Mr. Albert. E.Hughes" in his book "What your handwriting reveals". effort of his whole life must be admired.

Every day, 22 years old Harsh wakes up early in the morning. It had become a routine, one that he had no control or choice over. He is usually out of breath, under stress and always on the edge. But it's not a chronic ailment or an infectious disease that is bothering him – he just hasn't had his fix in a while.
What is his fix? It could be anything from substance-abuse (alcohol, marijuana etc.) or otherwise (gambling, shopping, the Internet, gaming etc). And every day, countless people like Harsh wake up to another day where their lives are affected by their addictions – mostly in a very bad way. To understand their plight, one must understand addiction itself, and what it does to the human body. But first…
…Take it seriously
Addiction and its effects are not to be taken lightly. There is a certain tendency to label one's affinity towards certain things as addiction. For instance, how many times have you heard, "I'm addicted to this song!" or "I can't do without my morning coffee, I'm addicted to it". While there is nothing wrong with either statement spoken casually, it also belittles a situation where a person might actually be addicted and refuse to acknowledge it as a problem. So first things first, beyond obvious signs, if you or anyone you know might repeatedly refer to something as addiction, sit up and take notice.
The biology
While quite a lot of physical effects that are present in drug-induced addiction are missing from behavioural addiction, they are both, at a neural level, the same. And to understand one would be to understand another up to some extent. So, what causes us to be addicted? We start off with understanding neurotransmitters.
Our body functions the way it does largely due to our brain controlling it via the nervous system. In this system, every part of our body is linked to our brain with nerves either via our spinal cord or directly. These nerves, in turn, are made up of nerve cells. But these nerve cells, or neurons, are not connected continuously – they have gaps in between them called synapses. And when a signal to or from the brain needs to cross this synapse, it is carried over by chemicals known as neurotransmitters.
Drugs can play havoc with neurotransmitters – flood the brain with excess neurotransmitters, stop the brain from making them, bind to receptors, causing the neurotransmitters to be destroyed and way more. And that is what causes addiction.
The role of dopamine
All major drugs of abuse create excess dopamine in the body that causes a feeling of pleasure. In excess, drug abuse leads to high level of dopamine in the body. But wait, if it makes you feel happy all the time, what's wrong with that? Enter homeostasis.
Without going into too much detail, homeostasis can be explained as the tendency of the human body to maintain its state. That includes the brains and the neurotransmitters it produces as well. Once acclimated to, say, a high supply of dopamine from a drug, the brain reduces its own production capacity to maintain a normal level. But this causes low dopamine level when the drug is not being used, eventually leading the user to depression, stress and the belief that the only relief they can get is through the drug.
And this is not just limited to drug addiction. A 2009 study by the Scripps Research Institute concluded that the same molecular reactions that occur with human drug addiction also show up in compulsive overeating in obese rats. The receptor that was studied – D2 – is responsible for vulnerability to drug addiction in humans and responds to dopamine, a central neurotransmitter released in anticipation of rewarding, satiating experiences such as those involving food, sex or psychoactive drugs. When checked, it was found to be up-regulated in obese rats exposed to a high-fat diet, and the sensitivity to dopamine went even lower when the rats were allowed to continue their compulsive eating behaviour.
In a now classic experiment that has been repeated a number of times, researchers attached electrodes to rodents in such a way that when activated, they stimulated the reward centres of the brain. This activation can be done by a button in the enclosure, which is repeatedly done by some rodents until they reach the point of passing out due to exhaustion. This is important since biochemical processes work in a remarkably similar way in rodents and humans too. Even in humans, the effect of behavioural compulsion is the same.
Other factors
One of the most common conceptions associated with alcohol and other forms of drug abuse is the eventual degradation and death of brain cells. Research indicates that alcohol abuse eventually reduces the size of the brain, methamphetamine kills cells that produce dopamine and trigger apoptosis, a process where cells self-destruct. Needless to say, a brain with fewer cells to do its tasks is less capable of things like judgement, willpower and making the secession to addiction involuntary.
Another factor that influences addiction is genetics. The FosB gene has a splice variant ΔFosB that is agreed to be a critical factor in almost all forms of behavioural and drug addictions. To put it simply, ΔFosB can be described as a "sustained molecular switch" when it comes to developing an addiction. And like all genes, it can be inherited – and there's been sufficient research to establish that it has been. For instance, children of alcoholic parents, even when adopted by non-alcoholic parents, have shown a greater tendency towards developing an addiction.
With or without genetics, there are other ways to detect a risk of addiction as well. While the judgement on genes being used to diagnose addiction is still in debate, Henri Begleiter, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the State University of New York in Brooklyn, New York, has come up with a new method to detect the risk of an addiction through brain waves.
Brain waves are usually measured through an electroencephalograph and printed out as an electroencephalogram (EEG). Anyone experiencing any significant light or sound stimuli shows a peak in the graph of values of about 300-500. For addicts the peak is lower, which means that they cannot distinguish between everyday stimuli and special stimuli, thus processing each one as new, a characteristic called hyperexcitability. This excited state is often dulled down by going after more drugs. This distinct difference in the EEG graphs of addicts and non-addicts can help in early detection of addiction tendencies.
The Cure
The knowledge of the impact neurotransmitters and specific chemicals can have on the functioning of the brain can help create medicine for specific addictions – and it has. For instance, methadone for heroin addicts, naltrexone for alcoholics, and bupropion for nicotine addicts do exactly that.
In addition to that, knowing that there are other factors apart from one's own choice can help individuals and families come to terms with addiction more easily. Taking it one step further, knowing about an inherited tendency towards addiction, people can choose to abstain from substances and addictive behaviour altogether. This does impact the brain – as people keep away from the people, places and activities that caused their addiction, the brain gradually dissociates the availability of those factors and the eventually induced pleasure from addiction.
Even though we have discussed the physiological and neurological details about how addiction works in the previous sections, one of the most important factors behind addiction has been missed out – us. Both drug and behavioural addictions are dependent on us taking the first step or deciding where to draw the line. Irrespective of which gene we've inherited or how our addiction has already affected us, if a choice is made to say a simple 'No' and then stick to it, then it is certainly possible for a mind to win the battle against addiction.

Former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt - who was born 135 years ago today - is an enigmatic figure in cannabis culture. His arguments in support of repealing alcohol prohibition in America - which he accomplished in 1933 - can be applied to support cannabis legalization. But at the same time, he's the president who signed marijuana prohibition into law in 1937. So at first glance, he's both a hero and a villain in the legalization movement.
But the whole story is much more complicated than that. Here's an overview of Roosevelt's complex position on prohibition.
A 'Damp' Candidate
While campaigning for president in 1932, Roosevelt pledged to repeal alcohol prohibition. It was a defining moment in his evolving political career.
Although he himself drank, Roosevelt was hesitant to cast his lot in with "wet politicians" who wanted to repeal the federal ban on alcohol in the late 1920s. FDR's hesitance was pragmatic rather than personal: siding with the wets could alienate dry voters. So when he ran for governor of New York in 1928, he campaigned as a "damp candidate" - someone who supported the rights of individual states to decide the legality of liquor.
Sound familiar? The "let states decide the issue" has become a position adopted toward cannabis by politicians like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and even Donald Trump. So candidates today are still following in Roosevelt's footsteps when it comes to marijuana.
Repealing Prohibition
When public opinion soured to prohibition, Roosevelt championed repeal during his first run for the presidency. But even then, his stance was guarded. When addressing prohibition in a famous campaign speech from 1932, he argued that "the intemperate use of intoxicants has no place in this new mechanized civilization of ours." He added, "we may differ as to method, [but] we all agree that temperance is one of the cardinal virtues."
So Roosevelt agreed that drunkenness was a social evil, but he also said that federal prohibition was a complete disaster.
"[T]he methods adopted since the World War with the purpose of achieving a greater temperance by the forcing of Prohibition have been accompanied in most parts of the country by complete and tragic failure. I need not point out to you that general encouragement of lawlessness has resulted; that corruption, hypocrisy, crime and disorder have emerged, and that instead of restricting, we have extended the spread of intemperance."
So trying to suppress drinking only led to widespread alcohol consumption. FDR argued that the experiment failed because temperance was an issue for the church and the home, not the federal government to sort out. By interfering with morality, the feds essentially encouraged criminality and supported illegal enterprises that didn't return one cent to the government in taxes.
"The only business of the country that was not helping to support the Government was in a real sense being supported by the Government," he said. "This was the business that was the direct product of [alcohol prohibition] — a business which is lucrative, vicious and corrupting in its influence on the enforcement agencies of Government."
In other words, prohibition wasn't just bad social policy. It was bad business. So instead of meddling in the American people's liquor cabinets, FDR argued that the states should be allowed to decide what was legal for residents to consume.
"The experience of nearly one hundred and fifty years under the Constitution has shown us that the proper means of regulation is through the States, with control by the Federal Government limited to that which is necessary to protect the States in the exercise of their legitimate powers."
Prohibiting Cannabis
If you take all of those above quotes and swap out "prohibition" with "the War on Drugs," you can use FDR's arguments to tear apart the rationale for cannabis prohibition -- an even more disastrous enterprise that fuels organized crime, costs billions of dollars and inflates America's prison population -- which are disproportionately comprised of racial minorities. And for all that, the drug war hasn't curbed cannabis use -- recreational or medicinal. Sounds like the sort of broken system that Roosevelt would campaign against.
Yet cannabis is illegal thanks in large part to FDR. His administration promoted The Marijuana Tax Act, which essentially prohibited the use, production and sale of marijuana as well as hemp nationwide when Roosevelt signed it into law in 1937.
So much for the rights of states.
Hemp for Victory
But Roosevelt the pragmatist reared his head again in 1941, when he signed an executive order legalizing hemp production for the war effort. Basically, hemp could be used to make rope, oil and other essential World War II materials. And his administration was so desperate for it, that they even released the short film "Hemp for Victory" (1942), which encouraged farmers to grow the essential crop.
So Roosevelt's America gave us both the pro-cannabis "Hemp for Victory" as well as the anti-marijuana movie "Reefer Madness" (1936). And that contrast might be the perfect way to sum up the FDR's contradictory words, beliefs and actions when it came to the prohibition of social vices.

Summer's Last Blast
Most kids (parents, too!) love going to the amusement park. Why not give the kids one last summer blast by taking a family beach vacationat one of the great New Jersey attractions, the Morey's Piers amusement park?
You may know that they have Radio Disney stars on Mondays throughout the summer. Did you also know that they have specials every day of the week?
I like that they understand that a family outing should not be a budget buster. There are all-you-can ride deals as inexpensive as twenty dollars! When was the last time you saw prices that good at an amusement park? I'm guessing the 1980's!
On Thursdays, they have a thirty-dollar deal which lets you ride all day until six PM and then includes a buffet! That is an unbeatable deal. Friday nights is fireworks night so you can enjoy fireworks displays right up until the end of August.
No matter when you visit Morey's Piers, there is a ride for roller coaster lovers like me that is not to be missed – the Great Nor'Easter – it's a suspended seat roller coaster that lets your feet dangle as you whip through the track (over 2000 feet long) at speeds of 50 miles per hour!
If taking the family to Morey's Piers and the Wildwood area involves more than just a day trip and you need overnight lodging there are plenty of links and information for local accommodations right on the amusement park's website.
Through product recommendations, Someone Else's Kids acts as an affiliate marketing partner for Zazzle & Amazon.

Here's to a new year!
Here's to a new year!
How perfect would this be for New Years Eve?
Then again, maybe not... Last year's adorable Website Want turned out disastrously disappointing!
What was on the site and what came in the mail were two completely different things - one sexy & cute, the other was trashy & uncomfortable. It wasn't glittery, it wasn't even sequiny ... it was made up of big plastic pieces which maybe shined a little at certain angles. Ugh.
I didn't even wear it like I was planning to for New Year's Eve because it was so awful. I ended up wearing a shirt I had forever ... We went to a house party last year with mostly strangers to me (boyfriend's friends), so it's not like they had seen the shirt before anyway.
Hope you all are enjoying the holiday!
Miss you, Roo baby. RIP
Going through the motions of a loved one being sick enough to need a caregiver is not easy on anyone, let alone the caregiver. The stress can so easily be overlooked, can overshadow good things going on or morph into some big, ugly, green giant. These aren't easy on anyone involved in general.
I had so much more I wanted to say, but I just can't tonight. I'm not even home caregiving and yet I'm completely burnt out. Ugh. I'm sorry everyone. Maybe I'll add more later.
Happy blogging.
He gained 5 lbs thanks to my sister's new habit of feeding him almost every hour. Unlike other FTD patients who gain weight, my dad has been losing it - drastically! This happened a couple years ago too, it was actually one of the reasons we really pressed to get a diagnosis. He's down to 175 lb now (he was 170) and bloodwork, body scans, a scope, etc. have not given us any answers. Feeding him every hour (and pretty good size meals too - like Shell will make him a loaded sandwich and soup) is the only thing helping, but it's expensive! I can only imagine the food bill ... who'd think you could LITERALLY be eaten out of house and home?!
Also, the study that my dad has been a part of for the last 3 1/2 years is no longer going to see him anymore. Through this program, my dad had pretty frequent visits to a neuro/FTD specialist at the University of Penn every 3 - 6 months. They did testing during Also, once a month a med student was out asking my dad questions for the study. I remember some of the testing they did with him while I was there was something like a photo with some birds in a tree and on the ground and they'd ask my dad how many birds were in the tree to see if he answered that correctly or just answered how many birds he could see in general. They'd also ask him say the word to identify things in a photo. They were also always available for questions, suggestions on increasing/decreasing meds or helping us identify FTD symptoms.
I guess my dad has now progressed to the point that he is no longer assisting in the study. He doesn't really answer questions much anymore and when he does, you're not even sure if it's the right answer to the question you asked. At his appointment the other day, my mom said when my dad was asked what day it was, he answered something like April 1998 (not sure on the exact month, but yea - 1998!). The doctor also said that it is very obvious and very quick that my dad becomes anxious over answering questions now. What a shame...
I'm not sure what this means for my dad's future care. I was under the impression that the med students coming out once a month, the meds, the appointments at the U of P, the MRIs and such were all extended to us and my dad for free because of this study. If that's the case, I'm not sure what my dad's current insurance covers and that's concerning...
All the same, I did not want to miss out on caregiving.com's Holiday Blog Party! I had such a wonderful time participating last year and became involved with so many wonderful people, like Denise and GJ.
I did stop home today - mostly to take care of the cats. I did see my dad, but he was pretty much focused on either food (Michelle was in the kitchen) or sitting in his room. Sometimes when no one is there, I'll make my dad stand around in the room with me while I take care of the cats and I'll talk to him. That didn't happen today though.
Brief post, but the day is almost done, so goodnight, goodnight! :)
Doesn't it just sound delicious?! I haven't had the chance to make it yet to give you a review, but I can confidently say that very soon I'll be buying the ingredients to test out this yummy sounding dish
I saw this quote today though and hope that some day soon the ladies of my family all feel like this "I must be a real farmer now since I found myself capable of such a practical decision to make myself an independent woman. This is my farm, and I am home…..and I am happy."

Three Filipinos who were convicted of drug trafficking in China have been executed, Vice President Jejomar Binay announced Wednesday.
"Malungkot na araw... Patay na po 'yung tatlong kababayan natin," Binay said in an interview over GMA News TV.
Earlier, Noel Novicio, consul of the Philippine post in Xiamen City, said convicted Filipinos Sally Ordinario-Villanueva, Ramon Credo and Elizabeth Batain were brought to a "private place" where they will be executed after they were read their death sentence at 9:40 a.m.
"After promulgation, dinala sila sa isang pribadong lugar upang isakatuparan ang final na hatol," he said in an interview over GMA News TV.
The three Filipinos — Credo, 42; Batain, 38; and Villanueva, 32 — were originally scheduled to be executed last February 20 and 21. The executions were put on hold following the humanitarian visit to Beijing of Binay, who is also the presidential adviser on overseas Filipino workers' concerns.
The Supreme People's Court of China affirmed the death sentences on the three last February 11. Binay went to Beijing upon orders from President Benigno Aquino III on Feb. 18.
Ordinario-Villanueva was convicted for smuggling 4,110 grams of heroin on Dec. 24, 2008 into Xiamen, while Credo was convicted for smuggling 4,113 grams of heroin on Dec. 28, 2008 in the same city. Batain, meanwhile, was convicted for smuggling 6,800 grams of heroin on May 24, 2008, in Shenzhen.
Under the Chinese criminal code, smuggling of 50 grams of heroin or any narcotic drug into China is punishable by death.
Meeting with relatives
Hours before their scheduled execution, Villanueva and Credo met with their families in Xiamen, Philippine consul Noel Novicio said in an interview on dzBB radio.
He said Batain also met with her relatives between 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. in Shenzhen before the promulgation of her sentence. The meetings were arranged with the help of two China-based Filipino priests, Novicio said.
Maylene Ordinario, Sally's sister who is currently in China, said in a text message to her relatives in Quezon City that they were only given an hour to talk with the prisoners.
"Binigay na nila ang mga gamit ni Ate. Grabe, one hour lang talaga. Pababa na kami ng court. Wala sila awa," the text message read.
Last-ditch appeal
On Tuesday, Binay made a last-minute appeal to Chinese President Hu Jin Tao for the suspension of the execution after the Philippine authorities uncovered evidence that could "break wide open" the illegal drug trade between China and the Philippines.
Binay said the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has taken into custody Mapet Cortez, also known as Tita Cacayan, whom convicted courier Villanueva had named in her sworn statement as the person who recruited her for a job in Xiamen and gave her "the empty suitcase" that later turned out to be lined with heroin.
"I appeal to the Chinese government to help us keep Villanueva and the two others alive to enable us to establish beyond any reasonable doubt whether at least one or two or all three of them are mere unwitting couriers, while the real principals are still at large in the Philippines," said Binay in the letter dated March 28. - VVP/YA, GMA News

Quin-Sea acquires new facility as part of Newfoundland lobster strategy
Group will use new facility as leaping off point for development of Newfoundland lobster expansion.
Quin-Sea Fisheries on Monday announced it acquired a new facility it will use as a leaping off point for an expansion of its Newfoundland lobster operations.
The Royal Greenland-owned company acquired Woodman's crab facility in New Harbour, Newfoundland, and will make "significant investment" in the site, including operating a live holding facility for lobster. The facility will also serve as a cold storage for existing Quin-Sea operations.
Part of the company's "lobster strategy" is to develop the Newfoundland lobster brand, the company said.Embed: new harbour
"It is our objective to promote Newfoundland's premium quality lobsters directly to international markets," Simon Jarding, managing director of Quin-Sea Fisheries, said in a press release.
Royal Greenland acquired Old Perlican-based Quin-Sea in late 2015, in part as a platform to consolidate the North Atlantic coldwater prawn sector.

For juicy fajitas, I use a flank steak, marinating it overnight before grilling. It may not look or smell pretty, but the flavor is fantastic and the meat comes out incredibly tender.

This week we showcase the latest slots from Oryx Gaming and Endorphina, new products for PKR and Ikibu, and a new integration for Vermantia.
Oryx Gaming
Gaming platform and content provider Oryx Gaming is marking the festive season with the launch of two new slots, Fairytale Forest and Golden 7 Christmas.
Fairytale Forest invites players on an enchanting journey packed full of mystical creatures. There are free spins that can be multiplied by a maximum of 10x and an engaging bonus game. Players can then use the unique re-pick feature to enjoy two opportunities to change their mind and increase the chance of winning the main prize.
Oryx said that the game was cast from its Flash version and has been optimised to ensure a faster game flow, similar to recent release Anaconda Eye Rapids.
Oryx's other game launch is Golden 7 Christmas, a festive version of its popular Golden 7 Classic game. Like the original, the game is played on a 5 x 3 matrix, with five paylines and one scatter symbol.
Both of the titles are available in HTML5 for mobile and desktop.
"The HTML releases of Fairytale Forest, Golden 7 Christmas and Anaconda Eye Rapids are great Christmas gifts for our clients and a perfect way to sign off on a prosperous year," said Oryx Gaming CEO Matevz Mazij.
Malta-licensed operator Ikibu Casino has expanded its offering with the launch of Ikibu Christmas Races.
Ikibu is a newly formed island that takes players into a new world of excitement, challenges and fun. Players must travel through the Island of Ikibu, passing through villages, meeting the indigenous population of Iki's and harvesting seeds as they progress.
The new game sees races run hourly, daily, weekly and monthly, allowing players to join races, compete and earn up to 3m seeds throughout the Christmas season.
With a countdown timer and a set amount of spins, players need to get the biggest wins in order to move up the leaderboard.
"With the launch of races the playing experience in Ikibu will be taken to a whole new level, ensuring that we continue to offer our players an online experience like never before. Ikibu is now more than even a strategy casino," said Ikibu CEO Rafael Ríos.
Online gaming operator PKR continues to expand into new verticals with the launch of Kiron Interactive-powered virtual sports games.
Having recently launched a live casino, the 3D poker operator now offers players access to virtual horse racing, greyhound racing, football and four other virtual sports games from Kiron.
The company said that the addition of virtual sports takes the brand one step closer to its strategic vision of becoming both a multi-product gaming portal and poker technology provider.
"We believe in quality products that offer great entertainment," said PKR CEO Chris Welch. "With realistic graphics and nonstop action, virtual sports sits well alongside our 3D poker software.
"Many of our poker players like a bet, so we hope they'll enjoy these new games in between hands. We look forward to PKR Virtual Sports adding to already record casino revenues this year."
PKR also launched Microgaming's Tarzan slot earlier this month and its '36 Days of Christmas' casino promotion.
Vermantia/MOHIO Gaming
Greek games developer Vermantia has expanded its virtual games portfolio with a new partnership with Austria's MOHIO Gaming.
Integrated via its CONNECT platform, Vermantia's clients will have access to MOHIO's horse racing and greyhound racing games which are based on pre-recorded real races, as well as other games such as Live Keno, Soccer Bet League, Street Racer, and Darts Bet.
The agreement also allows MOHIO to promote Vermantia games to its own customer base.
"We are excited with our agreement with Vermantia that meets both our goal to reach wider markets, like those served by Vermantia, and our quest for high quality virtual games to complement our own offering to our customers," said MOHIO Gaming CEO Andrej Machanets. "We therefore believe that the agreement will soon spawn new projects for both our companies."
Vermantia's chief product officer Yiannis Gangas commented: "With our agreement with MOHIO Gaming, we are adding market-proven pre-recorded games to our offering in line with our strategy to provide our customers with the widest choice of virtual games in the marketplace.
"We are very glad that through this partnership, also our own games, such as the industry's first Virtual Baseball game, will be made available to MOHIO's customers."
Prague-based casino games developer Endorphina has partnered EveryMatrix to add its games to the supplier's CasinoEngine platform.
Endorphina's full portfolio of HD games will be available via EveryMatrix, including its latest release Twerk. Jetbull will be the first operator to take on Endorphina's slot games.
"Here at EveryMatrix we are always looking for new and interesting content, that's why we are delighted to add the thrilling slots games from Endorphina to our product portfolio," said EveryMatrix CEO Ebbe Groes. "This partnership will surely increase our casino platform's appeal, while delivering the perspective of a better gaming experience to operators that look for an impressive suite of online casino games."
EveryMatrix's CasinoEngine platform has been integrated with nearly 40 game developers, with close to 4,000 games available to operator partners.
"We are pleased to announce that we started our cooperation with a well-established big industry player, EveryMatrix," said Jan Urbanec, VP of sales at Endorphina. "As a start-up, we used to admire companies like this and I am proud to say that now we became their business partners.
"I believe that our content will find its way to EveryMatrix's customers and that Endorphina will have an outstanding reputation and a highly profitable relationship with them."
Endorphina also announced this week the launch of its latest slot game, Voodoo.
The supplier described the game as a "dark and intense" experience, with the game inspired by the spiritual West African religion.
Players will be immersed in a gloomy atmosphere, with enchanting sounds and characters including sorcerers, witches, Damballa - the serpent God that is said to have created the world - and majestic raven, the symbol of courage and wisdom.

- Updated information will be provided on the potential of a hearing in Harrisburg.
- Review the outcome of meetings held with ODP and a SELECT few Providers.
- Provide contact information from other Providers, family members, advocacy groups, etc. throughout the Commonwealth, in order to build a stronger network.

Please RSVP Tim Miller or Deann Wallbaum at 724-837-1250 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Action Needed – My Work, My Choice
PLEASE take time to comment on Proposed Changes that the Commonwealth is planning to make on individuals with an intellectual disability.
These changes will eliminate an individual's CHOICE on where they want to work.
The deadline to comment is January 17, 2017.
Here is the information that you can use to comment on these changes.
As a concerned resident of the Commonwealth, I would like to take this opportunity to Comment on Appendices A through H of the Consolidated and Person/Family Directed Support Waiver Renewals, effective July 1, 2017 (PA Bulletin, Doc. No. 16-2086). My comment will specifically focus on Appendix C pertaining to the service known as "Community Participation".
I firmly believe that ALL individuals with developmental disabilities should have a CHOICE to achieve greater independence and opportunity in their lives. As you are well aware, this is also the mission of the Office of Developmental Programs. The most important piece of this statement is CHOICE. I do not agree with limitations placed on ones CHOICE in Appendix C pertaining to Community Participation.
The following limitations placed on attendance in Vocational or Adult Training Facility settings take away ones CHOICE.
- From 1/1/18 to 6/30/18, a participant may not receive Community Participation Support services in a licensed Adult Training Facility or a licensed Vocational Facility for more than 75 percent of his or her support time, on average, per week.
- From 7/1/18 to 12/31/18, a participant may not receive Community Participation Support services in a licensed Adult Training Facility or a licensed Vocational Facility for more than 50 percent of his or her support time, on average, per week.
- Starting 1/1/19, a participant may not receive Community Participation Support services in a licensed Adult Training Facility or a licensed Vocational Facility for more than 25 percent of his or her support time, on average, per week.
The amount of time an individual wants to attend Vocational or Adult Training Facility settings should be the CHOICE of each individual and should not be mandated.
Please contact Governor Tom Wolf at Office of the Governor, 508 Main Capitol Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120 or call 717-787-2500 or fax 717-772-8284.
You may also email your comment to firstname.lastname@example.com

Deprenyl has a unique selectivity to the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons, and for the time being is the only promising tool for this purpose in humans because of the following reasons:
a) Given concurrently with levodopa and a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor (-)Deprenyl is now widely used in Parkinson's disease21, it is an effective antidepressant 22,23 and its beneficial effect on Alzheimer's disease was recently demonstrated24. The small dose administration of (-)Deprenyl even for several years was described to be free of significant side effects25.
b) The supplementation of (-)Deprenyl to Madopar significantly prolonged the survival of parkinsonian patients as compared to those on Madopar alone indicating that (-)Deprenyl protected somehow the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in these patients6.
c) (-)Deprenyl exerts its specific pharmacological effect in animals with an excellent safety margin17.
d) (-)Deprenyl turned out to be an efficient inhibitor of the uptake of dopamine in the striatum and this effect was found to play an important role in the facilitation of the activity of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons in animals treated continuously with (-)Deprenyl 12,26,28.
e) (-)Deprenyl in striking contrast with the MAO inhibitors used previously inhibits the noradrenaline releasing effect of indirectly-acting amine in vascular smooth muscle. This latter effect of (-)Deprenyl, which is not shared even with other known selective inhibitors of the B type MAO26, is the reason of its safety. It is at present, the only MAO inhibitor free of the "Cheese effect" 28.
f) The selectivity of (-)Deprenyl, in the small dose range, to the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neuron is also supported by our findings that whereas the turnover rate of dopamine was enhanced in the striatum, a significant decrease of the turnover rate of noradrenaline and unchanged level of this amine in the brain stem were found 29.

Tom and Deb C, aka stnick22, are long-time collectors who typically shower us collectors with a cascade of vintage goods auctions around this time. There are a number of their 88 lots that I hope to add to the collection, but thankfully I already own this incredibly rare set. I bought it sight unseen over the phone many years ago from a famous dealer in Chicago named Bindy Bitterman. (Bindy even made a cameo in the fairly recent documentary on the now-famous street photographer, Vivian Maier.) I discovered Bindy had two complete sets from long-time collector and publisher of the not-forgotten Boo News, Dawn Kroma. Even though the photos accompanying this auction are super, they don't do the individual pieces justice. The pieces are really beautiful. Frankly, this is THE party set to own. I've only seen a handful come up for sale in 30 years. The last complete set sold for ~$2300 some years ago now, but in a very tatty box. I can't wait to see what this example fetches.
10/02 Update: This set fetched an impressive $2,762.40.

Brownies By Sam
Do you remember learning how to bake and the first experience you had making something all by yourself...with no one home from scratch? About a month or so ago, I was 100 long Kansas miles from home at a training when my phone rang. It was my daughter asking where she could find the baking powder. Being the mom that I am, my response was "what are you making?". She responded that it was a surprise. After a few moments of going back and forth trying to pry it out of her she finally gave in and told me she was making brownies from a recipe. I started to panic a little as she had not experimented with baking while I was in the home more less, 100 miles away. I reminded her how far away I was and that I prefer not to see a fireman outside of the house when I arrived home. I then asked if she knew how to turn on the temperature for the oven. A long silence occurred and I instructed her through this piece as well as turning on the timer. I prompted her to read the measurements well and one more warning not to burn down the house was given before I returned to class. The phone rings 35 minutes later...still worrying..I leave class and answer--"Mom, They taste NASTY"--no time for talking since I was in class (only wanted to know that the house wasn't on fire!!), I called her back on my way home. My first question to her was "did it turn out really tall like a cake"? She said yes it did...when asked how much of that baking powder she added she responded....are you ready????.....1/4 cup. I laughed and told her that this was the problem. Being 12 she promptly began to argue with me, imagine that. I had her get the recipe out.....again, I heard silence and then a chuckle from the other end. She then read 1/4 tsp...and we both laughed. Later on we also figured out that she had put in 1/2 cup of salt. EWWW!! My husband stopped that night at the store and picked up more ingredients. And I will say the next batch turned out PERFECT! Very Good! And she did it all by herself!!
The pictures above are of an apron that I made for her --- there were a few more baking experiments this summer....and the picture of the "fallen brownies". I was just proud of her for trying something new!

April's Leadership Development Notes
For those that weren't able to attend the Leadership Development night on April 3, I wanted to post the notes with a little explanation. Reid Brown began the time by looking to Scripture. We wanted to ask, "What is our Biblical motivation for pushing the idea of multiplication?" When we consider passages like Luke 22:27, John 15:13, and Philippians 2:3-4 a common message rings loudly - it's not about me! One of the common hesitations about multiplying a group is a reluctance to give up the group you enjoy so much. God's Word reminds us that following Jesus and serving His Kingdom is not about us; it's about others. As we strive to follow Christ's example of leaving our comfort behind and putting the needs of others first, I believe we will be compelled to multiply our small groups so that more people can have authentic community and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Based on these and other Scriptures, we are starting from the belief that every small group should multiply if it is following a healthy path.
We spent the remainder of the time discussing two practical aspects of group multiplication: 1) understanding the general life-cycle of a group and 2) understanding basic methods of actually launching a new group out of your group. Here are the notes we used - How-To of Group Multiplication
The life-cycle portion is pretty self explanatory, but remember that reality is rarely as tidy as it looks on paper. Your group may jump stages in the cycle or take steps backwards at times. Knowing what stage your group is in will help you lead effectively toward multiplication.
The methods of multiplication portion needs a little more explanation. Three basic methods of multiplying a group were discussed. The first two are similar in that only one person from the original group leaves to begin a new group. The third method involves sending half of the original group out to launch the new group. The original and new groups then add new members. The end result of all three plans is the same - one group becomes two. There are variations and hybrids of these three plans so feel free to adjust them to make a plan that will work best for your group.
Hopefully, you have been inspired to pursue multiplication in your group and have a few tools in your hands to help make that happen. Feel free to share any thoughts or questions you may have we me - firstname.lastname@example.com

America has one among the most costly Healthcare IT Services . The federal government has predicted that the yearly federal expending on health care will probably be all around $4.four trillion by 2018, or about $13,000 on every single resident of your country.
The federal wellbeing reforms aim to cut down intensely on this major paying out. The Affected individual Security and Reasonably priced Treatment Act ideas to reduce the healthcare finances by bringing in additional rules on the health and fitness and health insurance plan sectors. These rules will be sure that a lot more pounds are expended on furnishing health care to your people and doesn't go in to the pocket from the personal functions.
A further crucial plan would be the adoption of IT to enhance clinical management and supply and therefore contribute to discounts. Health care It will not save on administrative costs but will convey in additional efficiency and pace in furnishing well being care towards the residents.
Nevertheless, there are specific factors about health care IT that will need specific consideration in advance of it can turn into a powerful instrument in bringing concerning the reforms which the federal federal government hopes for. A few of the essential ideas are:
– The healthcare technological know-how should be in comprehensive sync with all the goals the health reforms are aiming for
– Details needs to be shared via an efficient model that has the consent of the many worried and included events
– The technology adopted should be fruitful in acknowledging the long run goals in the reforms as well as the Act

Dear Mobile Phone,
You have been a wonderful travelling companion these past two or so years, always on hand to make a quick call or take a quick photograph or even visit the internet. You have never let me down, until yesterday when you decided to constantly restart and now you won't even switch on at all. Is it a coincidence that all this has started since I blocked calls from a company 'associated' with my network provider, who were constantly calling me looking for a sale, as the time is nigh for an upgrade? Too much of a coincidence, but if an upgrade is needed, then so be it. I will, however, be looking for my own deals and will not wait to be contacted by a salesperson.
Dear Mobile Network Provider's Website,
I don't use you very often. I have no need to. Everything (usually) ticks along fine. So, why is it, whenever I do need to use you, you always have a holding page saying you are making a few tweaks and you'll be back shortly? It's not just this time, as I really need to use you (see the previous letter), but almost every time I initially use you I get the message. You are very frustrating. I hope the tweaks are good ones, as you've been making them since last night… although it may even be longer as I only first tried you last night.
Dear Watercolour Inspiration,
Where have you gone? Today is 28th July, and I've managed to get to here by (mostly) creating a watercolour painting every day. There are three days left, and I don't know if I can create another watercolour as the very thought of it leaves me dramatically underwhelmed. I've had fun creating the unique masterpieces I have done so far, but with them there was some form of inspiration behind them. Now, though, nothing. All I can say is let's see what happens from now.
Dear New Beginnings,
How often must I start again? Reinventing myself and starting afresh is always exciting and pushes me forward in a new direction, but I've done it so many times recently that in itself has become old hat. I'll just keep on keeping on for now, if you don't mind.
Dear Hair,
It is time for you to go! A new haircut is desperately needed now, as you are so strong and long you will not stay in any kind of 'style' I attempt to put you in. And for my hair that is saying something.
Dear Damp Mornings,
You are playing havoc with my car first thing. Juddery and spluttery are two ideal ways to describe the first run of the day. The other morning, I discovered that it is possible to move forwards on the road, whilst being pushed backwards and forwards in the driver's seat… and not in a fun way. Could you please try to be less damp? Thank you.
Dear El Cheapo Artist's Paintbrush Set,
I haven't tried to use any of you yet, since I bought you at El Cheapo's, the bargain store, the other day (other bargain stores are available). I notice you have very specific cleaning requirements after use for some of your brushes. You don't mention any particular flavour soup, so will tomato do?
Dear Back,
So nice to feel you aching again! Especially when I first stand up and have to take the next thirty seconds nice and slow and bent forwards at an unusual angle. Could you too be being affected by the damp mornings?
Dear Fun,
You seem to be lacking in this post, for some reason. I hope you return very soon, as I would much rather be light and fun than dark and broody.
Dear The Word Crenellated,
Such fun to discover you whilst looking for other words for 'broken'… although the term doesn't seem to fit for the 'crenellated wall around the top of the castle'. That said, the 'down' bits, or the gaps between the wall could be classed as a broken wall, so I'll let you off.
And to finish… Dear All,
Things change. Change is good, and is needed to move us forwards and to keep momentum going. Without change we'd never learn anything, advance our understanding of anything, or, dramatically, have a reason to keep on keeping on. Some changes are frustrating, and we could really do without them, but some are there to teach us that we can handle them, and therefore handle anything day by day, moment by moment. Don't allow change to become bothersome, and just allow it. And, if you don't like a particular change, well, you can always see about changing it!
Thank you for reading!
P.S. I mentioned my El Cheapo paintbrush set earlier, and it's cleaning instructions. Here's a photo of the instructions, just because:
Well, sometimes, seeing is believing!


text: I haven't had a whole lot of time to spend in my craft room, but I've been checking my blog periodically. So I came across another challenge over at The Color Throwdown and it's palette of colors are those I don't use very often. Pinks and greens!!! I never really liked the color pink, and don't think I own anything PINK. (so girly) LOL The card I'm sharing was for a client and she appeared to be very happy with it. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Retro and bohemian styles always seem to make their way back around as a trend nearly every season with slightly different variations. Rachel Leintz Photography was inspired by these classic style choices to create two different scenes in this Retro Boho Remix shoot. The first at Mountain Shadows, and the second at the JW Marriott at Camelback Inn. Mountain Shadow's simple and modern design coordinates with the stunning desert landscape surrounding it, making nearly every setting picture perfect for brides of every style. The decor inside is elegant and striking and served as a supplemental backdrop to the sleek Sarah Seven's gown with an open back from Lovely Bride. Styling the hair with pumped up volume and tousled curls adds the perfect touch of drama to the elegant look. The simple earrings coordinate perfectly with the stunning ring and serve as the only jewelry pieces. Amongst the understated decor the sophisticated look makes its own statement, evoking effortless glamour.
For the boho look, the team moved to the second venue with an expansive desert setting accented with lush greenery and cacti in the background. Arizona is known for its abundance of cacti, and any bohemian bride would look picture perfect amongst the natural setting. The long-sleeved dress by Rue De Seine from Lovely Bride includes ethereal lace details and embroideries over subtle sheer overlays. The unique silhouette has a shorter train which offsets the drama of the long flowing sleeves and criss crossed fringe. There is no lack of accessorizing with this look which is styled with a unique neck piece that softly trails the open back of the dress and a matching ring. With a softly curled updo, floral headpiece and statement earrings, the entire look embodies the essence of the carefree bohemian bride.

At least 47 people in East Ghouta, near Syria's capital Damascus, were killed on Sunday in the latest pro-Assad attacks trying to break resistance in the territory.
Activists spoke of incessant bombing, as the Assad regime and its allies, including Russia, try to split the remaining opposition-held area into three parts and surround Douma, the center of the enclave. They said incendiary munitions and possibly chlorine were used.
Among Sunday's victims were 14 children and 10 women. Eight people died in Jobar and 16 people from the same family were killed in an attack on Douma, according to local activist Nour Adam. There were also fatalities in Harasta, Zamalka, and Erbin.
About 1,400 people have been killed and thousands wounded in the pro-Assad assault since February 1, amid a tightening five-year siege. The Assad regime and Russia have defied a UN call for an effective 30-day ceasefire.
On Saturday, pro-Assad forces occupied Mesraba, cutting off Douma from the town of Harasta, and they advanced yesterday on the town of Mudeira.
As helicopters threatened barrel bombing of Douma on Sunday, pro-Assad warplanes dropped leaflets trying to undermine civilian morale, "Keep yourself and your family aware".
White Helmets rescuers also reported renewed regime and Russian airstrikes on Idlib Province, including Idlib city.

Casualties are reported on Monday morning in the towns of Taftanaz and Binnish. A kindergarten was hit in Taftanaz, injuring more than 20 children, and markets in Idlib city were struck, pro-opposition media said.
Warplanes carried out airstrikes targeting an Hospital in #Kafr_Zeita town, destroying it completely and now it's out of service.

Pro-Assad forces carried out an intense assault this winter on Idlib and western Aleppo Province, taking some territory and killing at least 264 civilians in five weeks, before deciding to focus on East Ghouta.
And pro-Assad warplanes, breaking a de-escalation agreement, also struck southern Daraa Province, on the Jordanian border, for the first time since last summer.
Meanwhile, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu boasted, in a new film honoring President Vladimir Putin, "We have tested 210 weapons," saying that many of them are better than those in the US and the European Union.
Sisters Noor and Alaa write from East Ghouta:
We will try to put you in touch with what happens when we can. When there is no news, there is no life.
Forgive us. We tried to awaking humanity in the international community to save us. It seems we couldn't.
We love you so much

Victims are buried in makeshift graves in Douma:
According to @DoumaLc, due to the continues shelling by regime/ Russian forces on #Douma city, near the city's cemetery. The city council had to dig a temporary cemetery in one of the city's public park. More than 70 victims were buried in one place.#SaveGhouta pic.twitter.com/DbxXIpXHGl

43 Attacks on Medical Facilities in February
The UN said there were 43 attacks on medical facilities across Syria in February, 28 of them in East Ghouta.
Twenty attacks were on hospitals — 14 in East Ghouta — 16 on health centers, two on ambulance stations, and one medical warehouse. Three of the health facilities were attacked twice, including a hospital in East Ghouta's Kafr Batna.
Nineteen people, including four health workers, were killed. At least 28 were injured.
US Says "Very Unwise" for Assad to Use Chlorine — But No Sign of Action
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has repeated a verbal warning to the Assad regime not to use chemical weapons, but again indicated that the US will take no action over chlorine assaults.
Mattis said it would be "very unwise" for pro-Assad forces to employ chlorine, amid seven confirmed attacks on East Ghouta since January 13 and unconfirmed reports in the past week of further use.
"It would be very unwise for them to use weaponized gas. And I think President Trump made that very clear early in his administration," Mattis said, referring to US retaliation in April 2017 for the Assad regime's sarin attack on Khan Sheikhoun in northwest Syria.
But Mattis has drawn a line in other interviews between a likely response over sarin — which the Assad regime has not used since Khan Sheikhoun and the 56 US missiles on the airbase that launched the operation — and chlorine, which would not bring US operations.
Last week, in a White House meeting, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster favored action but Mattis was "adamantly" opposed, according to officials.
Speaking in India on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron said France would strike over the use of chemical weapons — if the US joined the action:
The day we have, in particular in tandem with our American partners, irrefutable proof that the red line was crossed — namely the chemical weapons were used to lethal effect — we will do what the Americans themselves did…a few months ago; we would put ourselves in position to proceed with targeted strikes.
