Speaking in a press conference on 12th International Festival of Tribe's Cultures to be held in Golestan Province, Vali Teimori added that despite a 17-percent decline in the number of European travelers, a significant rise has been observed in the number of tourists arrived in Iran from reginal countries during the period.
He said the figures released based on the passport stamps given by Iranian Immigration and Passport Police while the provincial cultural heritage, handicraft and tourism departments are the main sources announcing the number of domestic travelers visiting various parts of Iran.
The official said lack of tourist satellite account (TSA), as an international criteria, in Iran caused the figure not to be precise enough.
The official said establishing TSA in Iran is only plausible through the help of Statistical Center of Iran and the Tourism Bank.
Teimori added a plan has recently been submitted to World Tourism Organization to call on the international body help ICHHTO's tourism department in this respect.
"We are determined to use the trip distribution model in Iran", he said adding holding the international festival of tribe's cultures is among the plans devised by the ICHHTO's tourism department to achieve the purpose.
He believes that the cultural and religious diversity of Iran can't be found in any regional country, stressing that the potential can be used to draw more foreign tourists.
Speaking in the same press conference, Director General of Golestan Province's Cultural Heritage, Handicraft and Tourism Department Ebrahim Karimi said 12th International Festival of Tribe's Cultures will be held in Gorgan from Nov. 20-23 in Gorgan and from Nov. 24-28 in Gonbad Kavous.
He said 31 provinces will participate in the handicraft exhibition to be held during the festival, pointing out that a major number of provinces having local music will also take part in its music festival.
Karimi said holding the 12th International Festival of Tribe's Cultures will provide a suitable opportunity for introducing the Iranian villages having eco-tourism potential.
"A souvenir exhibition, to be participated by all Iranian provinces, will also be held during the festival," he concluded.

After more than a thousand years of existence, the Mikalesons are prepared for just about anything … other than parenthood. Let's be real: Their parents weren't exactly the type of people you'd want them to emulate. And yet, thanks to a one-night stand between Klaus and Hayley, they've found themselves smack in the middle of raising a child. Thankfully, Hayley's there to help, but even she didn't grow up with the best parental figures in her life. In other words, we're lucky Hope is so resilient.

New Delhi: A community of jewellers in the country decided to go on an indefinite strike from Tuesday in protest over the re-introduction of sales tax on gold jewellery after 4 years.
Jewellers are opposing sales tax on gold as now the much desired want of people is going to become expensive which might also prove to be heavy on consumers' pocket.
(Also read: What's cheap and what's expensive post Budget 2016? )
Arun Jaitley's Budget could have an adverse impact on the demand of jewellery which could also see sales go down.
On Monday, in Lok Sabha the finance minister Arun Jaitley while addressing the parliament on Budget 2016 had announced an excise duty of 1% to be increased on gold and diamond jewellery and this is the reason the jewellers are not happy about.
The jewellers have decided to launch an indefinite nationwide strike in protest of the hike.
The community wants to see the reversal of the hike of 1% being made on gold and diamond jewellery.

Cycling in Jersey
Quiet lanes and miles of cycle paths, ideal for a relaxing riding holiday.
About Cycling In Jersey
Jersey is a cyclist's paradise. Island-wide networks of cycle paths, coastal routes and green lanes provide an ideal environment to explore on two wheels.
Take in the sights and sounds of the sand, sea and countryside as you cycle around Jersey. Our unique network of green lanes give priority to cyclists and pedestrians, with speed limits kept to only 15 mph. Jersey's dedicated cycle routes carve their way through the island, ensuring that you always have a route to take.
A network of well sign-posted routes has been created to help guide the way. Simply look out for the blue signs to point you in the right direction. Our top picks are below.
Jersey Cycling Guide
Top recommended routes - 'Easy'
Route 1A
Albert Pier to La Fregate Café
0.5 miles (approx. 7 minutes)
This short route is perfect for any cyclists who are more interested in enjoying Jersey's picturesque sea views at leisure, rather than getting an intense physical workout!
Setting off from the top of Albert Pier in St. Helier, you can admire the dozens of boats that fill St. Helier Harbour to your right before reaching the striking 'Golden Jubilee Needle' time capsule.
From here, you should bear left and head for the seafront, where you will reach the equally intriguing 'Freedom Tree' monument. Next, turn right and carry on along the Esplanade until you get to the small but charming Les Jardins de la Mer park, the centrepiece of which is an impressive fountain display.
Then, as a reward for completing your arduous (well, half-mile!) journey, you can treat yourself to lunch at the excellent La Fregate Café – find their menu here
What to look out for
- Golden Jubiliee Needle - This 14.25-metre high memorial was erected in honour of the Queen's 50th year as monarch. Although the Jubilee itself was in 2002, the Needle (which contains a time capsule) was unveiled two years later, when Prince Charles visited the island.
- The Freedom Tree – Another monument with a royal connection, the Freedom Tree was unveiled by the Queen in 2005. The bronze sculpture features 12 acorns, which each represent one of Jersey's parishes, and was commissioned to help mark the 60th anniversary of the Channel Islands' liberation from Nazi occupation in World War II.
Route 1B
Jersey Zoo to St. Martin
2 miles (approx. 15 minutes)
Jersey is perhaps most often visited because of the beauty of its coastline but, further inland, there is also scenic countryside to savour. This suggested route – which should only take around 15 minutes to complete – starts from outside Jersey Zoo, meaning that you can easily combine it with a day out at this fantastic wildlife attraction.
After setting off, you will enjoy a gentle and level ride down through some tranquil rural roads towards St. Martin's Village, where you can take time out to look around the peaceful parish church and surrounding area. Why not plan on having lunch or dinner at the excellent village pub, The Royal, whilst there?
What to look out for
- Jersey Zoo - With a fascinating past and a range of species that goes far beyond most of its contemporaries, Jersey Zoo – established in 1959 - is proud to have been the world's first conservation-themed wildlife attraction. It still focuses on rare animals today, being home to a range of endangered mammals, amphibians, birds and reptiles.
- St. Martin's Parish Church - The history of this attractive parish church can be traced all the way back to around 1,000 years ago, and it is just one example of the many beautifully-preserved places of worship that can be explored across the island.
Route 3A
Victoria Village to Jersey Zoo
1 miles (approx. 15 minutes)
This route is only a mile long but gives you the chance to explore some of Jersey's deepest woodland at your own pace. Starting in a quiet residential area called Victoria Village (which is also where any fans of horticulture can find the excellent Eric Young Orchid Foundation), you will then make your way along some truly peaceful – and, at times, quite narrow! – country roads.
Depending on how leisurely you want your journey to be, you should be able to reach Jersey Zoo – where the route ends – in about 15 minutes, giving you plenty of time to get up close to the attraction's 1,400+ animals.
What to look out for
- Eric Young Orchid Foundation - A great all-weather attraction, this hidden-away location is home to one of the world's largest and most impressive collections of orchids. A true paradise for any gardening enthusiasts, the Foundation is bound to impress even visitors who aren't particularly green-fingered.
- Jersey Zoo - With a fascinating past and a range of species that goes far beyond most, Jersey Zoo is proud to have been the world's first conservation-themed wildlife attraction. It still focuses on rare animals today, hosting a range of endangered mammals, amphibians, birds and reptiles.
Route 5
Vallee des Vaux to Liberation Square, St. Helier
2.8 miles (approx. 30 minutes)
This route will give you the opportunity both to explore Jersey's beautiful countryside and ride right into the centre of its busiest, most vibrant spot in just half an hour. When you set off from your starting point in the idyllic valley known as La Vallee des Vaux, you may find it hard to believe that the largest settlement in the Channel Islands, St. Helier, is less than three miles away – but then again, as you will soon find out, Jersey's effortless combination of tranquillity and excitement is one of its best features!
Something that makes cycling this route (among others) even more enjoyable than similar rides you may be familiar with in mainland Britain is the fact that the winding road which cuts through La Vallee des Vaux has a speed limit of just 15 mph. This means that drivers are obliged to take it slowly and respect the many cyclists who use the road regularly; be aware, however, that you may also have to watch out for horses when you're making your way towards St. Helier, as the valley is very popular with riders.
What to look out for
- Liberation Square - One of St. Helier's most attractive and historically significant sites, Liberation Square may only have been created in 1995, but the events that have taken place on this spot rank as some of the most important in Jersey's history – it was both where the Nazis had their headquarters during the occupation of World War II and where the British flag was unfurled in 1945 to mark the end of that terrible period.
- Central Market - Visiting a market may not seem like the most exciting thing you could do during your holiday, but St. Helier's Central Market is truly something special. Proudly serving the community for over 200 years, it today remains arguably the best place on the island to source an amazing range of fresh, local produce and has a fantastic, traditional atmosphere.
Route 7
Victoria Village to St. Helier
2 miles (approx. 15 minutes)
Cycling from the Victoria Village area to St. Helier will allow you to see several different aspects of Jersey's beautiful landscape within 15 minutes or so.
Starting in narrow, blissfully quiet country lanes, you will soon pass by the Grands Vaux Reservoir, which is a great example of how some manmade projects can add to the beauty of places like Jersey, whilst also fulfilling a practical need (in this case, storing and supplying water to the island's residents).
Just a few minutes later, you will arrive in the busy capital, St. Helier, which will feel a million miles away from the countryside you have just cycled through.
What to look out for
- Eric Young Orchid Foundation - A great all-weather attraction, this hidden-away location is home to one of the world's largest and most impressive collections of orchids. A true paradise for any gardening enthusiasts, the Foundation is bound to impress even visitors who aren't particularly green-fingered.
- Grands Vaux Reservoir - Created in 1952, the Grands Vaux Reservoir was the first major project completed post-World War II by the infrastructure company now known as Jersey Water. A favourite spot for members of the Jersey Freshwater Angling Association, the reservoir contains rainbow and brown trout, as well as two species of eel.
Top recommended routes - 'Moderate'
Route 2
Waterworks Valley
2 miles (approx. 30 minutes)
'Waterworks Valley' is the name given to one of the most beautiful areas of the island, which benefits from a combination of natural woodland, manmade reservoirs, peaceful streams and diverse wildlife.
The two-mile cycle around this area in the parish of St. Lawrence will allow you to explore several of Jersey's most tranquil and scenic spots, including the Millbrook and Dannemarche reservoirs. Despite its relaxing nature, however, you should be careful to keep your wits about you whilst cycling through Waterworks Valley – local legend has it that the area is haunted by a bridal procession made up of a coach, six horses, footmen and the ghostly bride herself!
What to look out for
- St. Lawrence Millennium Stone - To mark the start of the new millennium, the year 2000 saw 12 'millennium stones' (one for each parish) placed around Jersey. The Waterworks Valley cycle route will take you past the St. Lawrence standing stone, which can be found close to the ruins of the Vicart Mill building.
- Millbrook Reservoir - This reservoir may be the smallest of the six that are dotted around Jersey, but it is also the oldest, having been created back in 1890. A popular spot with anglers, the reservoir hosts a wide range of fish, including bream, tench, eels, carp, perch and trout.
Route 4
St. Aubin's Bay to Saint John
5 miles (approx. 1 hour 15 minutes)
This is one of the longest moderate difficulty routes you can take in Jersey and cycling it will give you the chance to see several of the island's most interesting landmarks in one journey. If you think you can handle a five-mile ride (with an estimated total time of an hour-and-a-quarter), the trip from St. Aubin's Bay to the parish of St. John will be well worth the effort.
Some of the many highlights you can look forward to passing (or even stopping off at) along this picturesque route – most of which winds through the idyllic Green Lanes of the Jersey countryside – include the magnificent Tesson Mill, the fascinating Jersey War Tunnels, and Morel Farm, a beautiful spot that looks like it has been frozen in time.
What to look out for
- Tesson Mill - Found at the edge of the stunning St. Peter's Valley, Tesson Mill (or 'Le Moulin de Tesson') offers a fascinating insight into Jersey's rich industrial past. The former flour mill fell into disrepair in the post-war years but was restored to its former glory in the 1990s; today, visitors can explore features such as the water wheel, grinding room and steam engine room (open Mondays and Tuesdays between May and September).
- Jersey War Tunnels - The most unique and immersive WWII attraction you are likely to find in Britain, this 1,000-metre network of tunnels was built 50 metres underground by 5,000 slave labourers during the island's Nazi occupation. Not only have the tunnels been preserved but they can now be viewed alongside an informative museum and even (if you have the time) a brilliant escape room game!
Whilst the above routes would be perfect for any visitors who count themselves as occasional or casual cyclists, there are also several circuits throughout Jersey which have been designed specifically for the benefit of advanced, expert riders who are prepared to push themselves to the limit. You can read more about two of our favourite difficult routes below.
Top recommended routes - 'Difficult'
Route East A
Victoria Village to Victoria Village (Circular)
19.7 miles (approx. 1 hour 15 minutes)
The longest advanced route in Jersey, this journey allows you to traverse the entire eastern coast of the island, as well as some of its most scenic inland areas. A circular route starting and finishing in Victoria Village, it is perfect for those who enjoy challenging climbs – there are seven to negotiate in total!
For the seasoned cyclist who enjoys exploring new places, this route really does have it all: from the golden sands of the beaches in the south of the island to the rugged cliffs of the north and historic landmarks such as Mount Orgueil Castle, this is one ride that is guaranteed to be exhilarating, varied and truly memorable.
What to look out for
- Mont Orgueil Castle - Widely considered to be one of the finest remaining medieval castles in the world, Mount Orgueil has overlooked the village of Gorey for around 800 years. Along with incredible sea views that extend to the French coast, there are many unique highlights to discover on a visit here, such as the macabre 'Dance of Death' statue and the intriguing 'Wheel of Urine'!
- Jersey Zoo - With a fascinating past and a range of species that goes far beyond most, Jersey Zoo is proud to have been the world's first conservation-themed wildlife attraction. It still focuses on rare animals today, hosting a range of endangered mammals, amphibians, birds and reptiles.
Route West B
St. Aubin's Bay to St. Aubin's Bay (Circular)
13.75 miles (approx. 55 minutes)
Certainly not one for the fainthearted, part of this hilly, circular route is included in the cycling section of the Jersey Triathlon course. Although it will most definitely be a challenge to complete, taking on this route (which sets off from and finishes at St. Aubin's Bay) will treat you to some of the best views it is possible to enjoy on the island.
Highlights include ascending the extremely steep and winding Ghost Hill, admiring the sea views as you head downhill towards the historic lighthouse at La Corbière (which can be reached via a causeway at low tide), and taking in the wild, rugged Noirmont headland.
What to look out for
- Corbière Lighthouse - The first structure of its kind in Britain to be built from concrete, the lighthouse at La Corbière was first lit in 1874 and is still in operation today. The lighthouse itself and the rocky tidal island on which it sits are well worth seeing up close if you get the chance.
- Elizabeth Castle - Another popular Jersey attraction that can be walked to via a causeway when the tide is low enough is Elizabeth Castle, which is in St. Aubin's Bay, a short distance off the coast of St. Helier. Seeing the 16th-century structure from the mainland will be a memorable part of your cycling trip but, if you get the opportunity, you should be sure to spend a whole day exploring this fantastic site, which is fully open to the public as a museum.
Route North A
St. John's Village to St. John's Village (Circular)
13 miles (approx. 50 minutes)
This route will let you explore the entire northern half of the centre of Jersey which, like much of the island, is made up of an enchanting combination of peaceful countryside and stunning, wild coastline. Although it only includes two climbs, this 13-mile circular journey is still a challenge and will introduce riders to some of the most popular cycling spots on the island.
As well as the lovely Bonne Nuit Bay and the idyllic roads around the La Mare Wine Estate - where both rural scenery and expansive sea views can be enjoyed – another highlight is making your way around the twisting Ronez Loop Road near Ronez Point. The fact that this road is occasionally closed to be used as a karting race track should give you a good idea of how much fun cycling around it will be!
What to look out for
- La Mare Wine Estate - Although you should always avoid combining cycling with drinking alcohol, there are many other things that make stopping off at the La Mare Wine Estate in the parish of Saint Mary worthwhile. You can take a walk around the vineyard and cider orchards, find out how their wine is made on a guided tour, or even meet the estate's adorable miniature ponies!
- Island Centre Stone - In the parish of St. John, you will find a prehistoric stone that is thought to have marked the point which islanders believed was the exact centre of Jersey. Although the location of the stone is, in fact, quite far from the island's geographic centre, it is still interesting to see it up-close and study the cup marks which helped historians to estimate its date of origin.

Options for the event include merely attending the daily seminars by the photo pros, participating in the contents by book your own dives or those by shore. And of course, if you are "mondo", you can still get into the "whole Enchilada."

The article "S'pore lags behind regional peers in Industry 4.0" (Nov 30) paints an inaccurate picture of manufacturing in Singapore.
Far from lagging behind regional peers, we have a strong manufacturing base that is leading the adoption of Industry 4.0, which refers to the digitalisation of manufacturing. It implies greater connectivity and intelligence in industry operations, made possible by new smart technologies such as robotics and artificial intelligence.
Today, Singapore is the fourth-largest exporter of high-tech goods (by value) globally.
Manufacturers in this sector are lead adopters of Industry 4.0 globally.
We continue to see sustained interest by these manufacturers in basing their Industry 4.0 hubs here, given our vibrant ecosystem of Industry 4.0 hardware and application providers, and our workforce which is skilled, reliable and productive.
They are also attracted by the Government's agenda in driving the adoption of technologies in industry and in the workforce, through various schemes such as the National Robotics Programme and the SkillsFuture Series for Advanced Manufacturing.
Next year, we look forward to hosting the first Asian edition of Hannover Messe, which is the world's largest industrial trade fair, to further catalyse Industry 4.0 adoption in Singapore and in the region.
We agree with Mr Brandon Lee, chairman of the Singapore Manufacturing Federation smart automation industry group, that Industry 4.0 is a multi-year journey.
We believe that in Singapore, Industry 4.0 is not just for large enterprises, but also for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Hence, with the support of multinational corporations and local SMEs, the Economic Development Board launched the Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index, a world-first diagnostic tool to help companies harness Industry 4.0.
Companies can use the index to understand Industry 4.0 concepts, evaluate their facilities, design comprehensive road maps, and deliver concrete value.
To help companies understand and use the index, we are running a series of workshops in the next few months.
We also look forward to partnering our trade associations, like the Singapore Manufacturing Federation and the Singapore Precision Engineering and Technology Association, to drive Industry 4.0 adoption here.

Manage your tasks – and your team – with online Kanban boards!
You're probably aware that it takes a lot of work to manage your tasks, if you have to manage a team on top of that, it's an even greater job.
Luckily for you, in today's business world, there are many alternatives and tools that can help the task feel less like a hassle! One of those great tools is the Kanban board. A Kanban board can be a physical board or an online one. We recommend and online board, such as the ones you have on Pipefy, to get you and your team efficiently managing your work in a flash!
Manage your tasks – and your team's – easier and faster!
So how can an online Kanban board help you manage your work? Much like its physical counterpart, an online Kanban software is divided into lanes. These lanes are filled with multicolored visual cards called (you guessed it!) Kanban cards. Each Kanban card has vital information about each task in the workflow, including, who is working on it, what needs to be done at this point, what has already been done, and even estimated completion time.
Having all this information close at hand and easily accessible makes it a breeze to communicate within your group, even if you're not in the same physical location. Borders, time zones, delayed flights, and even the annoyance of putting on "real" pants can no longer stand between you and your team when information needs to be shared.
The advantages of using an online board really come into play when you get down to the metrics property of the software. The built in metric records and behavior analysis, such as total time spent for each task, delivery time, and a whole host of other factors to develop a report that can help you manage your team more efficiently in your next project and implement constant improvements.
When it comes down to it, an online Kanban board is so efficient at managing your tasks and your team's, because it is so versatile that it literally is a one size fits all type of tool. No matter if your project is large or small, your team ginormous or just you and your two associates, Kanban can keep you stay organized, on point, and most importantly, connected.
Manage your tasks – and your team's – with Pipefy!
High quality execution is all about discipline. High performance teams focus on the most important things and executing them, no matter the circumstances.
Pipefy's Team Task Management Template will help you manage your team's tasks better, by showing you what everyone has to do, what are the priorities, what's on time, what's late and what are the bottlenecks of your process.

Just a drawing, nothing more. Sometimes the arrangement of shapes and details gives me an idea for another drawing. I did get an idea this morning from this but plan to let it sit for a while, look at it and think about it and come back to it later.

$ 46.00
Made for stacking. We took our original Brummel design and downsized it to make a petite and delicate women's bracelet.
$ 74.00
The Fid Cuff is the perfect compliment to our signature Brummel rope bracelets. A piece inspired by a nautical fid traditionally carved of wood or bone and used to splice rope. Now hand cast in solid brass and offered in three finishes:
One size fits most.
$ 78.00 $ 104.00
Rubber never looked so good. Italian rubber rope combined with a powder-coated big Brummel adds just the right amount of edge to the Recruit men's rubber bracelet.

*weeps with joy* Oh god, that was an awesome game to watch! My throat is sore from shrieking. Met tersa and co. during the second intermission - it was great talking to you! :)
Ahh! Why are penalties called everytime Mario gets a hangnail? I like McGillis. Gravey rocks! He hits! He scores! Sexy bitch filled his sexiness quota tonight - sweet move! Eee! Lesbian scored twice! Must not find lesbian sexy, must not ... goddamnit!
Mush!!! I'm so proud of you! *weeps*
Thorty!!! Awesome as usual. *sighs happily* Sunny, I love you and you have other talents, but you couldn't score with Jason Arnott if you were both stupid drunk.
I saw Andy! I was thinking of you, Nat!
Eep, there is ficcage to read but I think it's time for sleep. CS writing will have to wait for this weekend.

Jason never gets stupid drunk. Sunny does though.
*cries* Why am I up studying at 3? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
*cries* Why am I up studying at 3? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
That's just what Jason think, eh?
And it's all over!!! *hugs*
And it's all over!!! *hugs*
Lol, Jason doesn't think. When he tries to think he gets really really confused. And then frustrated b/c he's confused. And then he'll go break something or get drunk.
And which point it won't matter b/c he'll get nekid and have sex with random strangers, sig. o, or your choice of hockey boy.
And which point it won't matter b/c he'll get nekid and have sex with random strangers, sig. o, or your choice of hockey boy.
*dies* I guess it's lucky he has Petr to think for him then :P
Yay! I'm so glad you like Gilly! I told you... I'm passing on to you the responsibility of taking care of him. You'll love him. You really will. He's just a big teddy bear with self-esteem issues.
Okay I will. And take care of Rags, too! And ... self-esteem issues?
I think fans of teams playing the Penguins need to put up big signs against the glass everytime there's a break in the action reminding their team that IT IS OK TO CHECK LEMIEUX. Of course, since you get called on a double minor for a clean check, apparently it's not ok to the league, but GEEZ. A friend of mine pointed out last night that if he were to play hockey and noone every got in his way, HE'D have a 30 point season too!
LOL true enough. Hmm and then there was that interference call on Nolan which I didn't see. Was that a "ahh, someone touched me, I'm going down" situation?
LOL stupid drunk *gg* Nice image though :D
yay sharkies
yay sharkies
*dies* No kidding! But Scott would get jealous and kick Jason's ass. Or maybe he would join in. *dies again*
OHHH join in!!! Ex Oiler orgy with a chewy swedish center!!! YUMMY! *thuds*
OMFG Frala!!! *literally drooling*
I want a chewy Swedish center! *cries*
I want a chewy Swedish center! *cries*
*grin* dude that is soo freaking yummy of an image
*cries* me too!!!
*cries* me too!!!
menage a...quatre?
Ahhh! No! /)_(\ Don't feed the thornstrom/arkora bunnies! They BITE!
Re: menage a...quatre?
*grin* And then Petr would show up and be like "*blink* *blink* What's going on?" and Jason would tell him to shut up and pull him in. :)
*ahem* Speaking of Arkora ... *goes back to smut lite*

I had been meaning to dive Stradbroke Island for a year and a half! finally the opportunity presented itself and I headed over last weekend with Nick K and Marky Mark (Mark S). It was a beautiful sunny day and only 23 minute drive from my place to the Stradbroke ferry terminal in Cleveland. A quick ride over and we were greeted by a Manta Ray Lodge operator and driven to Manta Ray Lodge. The dive crew where very hospitable and we were well looked after. $129 included a return trip on the ferry, pick up and drop off to the terminal, two dives out on the boat with a guide if we wanted….hell I thought that was a bargain!
I didn't take the twins as logistically that may have been a nuisance for them (I suspected) although we caught up with our mate Ben B. over there who dived side mount, so I shall have to do that next time. First dive was at the FISH BOWL and there was a rip roaring current so I was really glad I wasn't in twins! I was trying out my new Canon G12 with Patima housing and Sea and Sea YS02 strobe for the first time and having issues with the strobe…so the only thing I really saw was my camera screen while I messed around with settings trying to figure out what was wrong! Yes, if someone was drowning beside me I probably would not have noticed! Sorry Buddy. But I did manage to find and save a dive master's mask and snorkel that she'd dropped whilst getting back onto the boat.
This trip certainly eliminated any nerves about pissing in the ocean in front of people. As the boat stayed out there, and there was no toilet, unless you wanted to pee in your wetsuit and cook in the sun there was no choice but to pee freely. I didn't mind too much as the water was really warm, and taking Travelcalm is about the same for your bladder as drinking 3 jugs of beer! and under pressure…let's just say it was a huge relief! Note to anyone diving here for the first time leave the dry suit at home (laughs). My spring fin strap I bought from Adreno managed to just snap in half and there were no spares on the boat, luckily one of the dive crew helped me make a temporary fix to see me through the next dive.
Second dive we tried to do Manta Ray Bommie as the Manta's are starting to show (up to four at a time) but unfortunately VIS was about 4m so we headed to Shag Rock. This turned out of be an AMAZING dive! Nick K was magic at finding everything incredible you could imagine and I could hardly keep up with changing photography settings and new subjects! He found a huge Bull Ray about 2.5m x 3m a few other rays, moray eels, baby lion fish including a beautiful black lionfish, puffer fish, cleaner shrimp…not to mention the find of the day by Mark S my first FROG FISH (black) which was incredible! and I have wanted to see one of these for ages! Initially I thought it was sea poo aka sea cucumber I wish I could've stayed for longer taking more photos of him but unfortunately I was 7 minutes away from DECO and decided to move up so I could keep the maximum time for the dive. Sigh, if only there was a way to stay down there all day!
We were all buzzing off how great the last dive was and wished we were staying on the island for the weekend. It really is a little slice of paradise over there, and just a stone's throw away. I had to kick myself for not diving here sooner, and we all agreed we will be returning soon for more great diving, sunshine, frog fish, and ice cream in a tropical paradise. Highly recommend!!

Charles Sturt University (CSU) approached me to consult on their new exhibition space in the refurbed main building at the Dubbo campus. We discussed some call-out strategies and exhibition documents. Bart Sykes from the Dubbo campus wanted me to exhibit first up, but I wasn't able to accomodate his dates. I suggested Mal Morris who I new was working on some cultural material we had developed in community workshops called "Carved-Up".
So we had some meeting, calls and discussions and Mal has developed this splendid body of work. It marks a maturation of Mal's investigations into cultural carving, and is a fantastic first exhibition for the new CSU community exhibition space.
Where: CSU- 8 Tony McGrane Place Dubbo
When: Opening reception 2pm Saturday 1st July

A Mid-Century Home with Cool Summer Styling
July 13, 2012 in Decorating, Design, Designers, Inspiration | Tags: bathroom, decor, Design, interior, jessica helgerson, kitchen island, Living room, mid-century, white, white room | 4 comments
When I first spotted this home, designed by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, I felt it perfectly captured that easy summer vibe we all crave at this time of year. Cool white furnishings accented with oversized arrangements of foliage and classic summer textiles like linen and seagrass – it's like a little sun-dappled picnic spot.
But look a little closer and it turns out this space is the perfect year-round home. Take away the fresh green accents and you have a completely neutral, yet highly imaginative, interior that can be styled differently for every season. I love the use of classic black and white throughout this home – in just the right doses.
White is used to blend in storage while black denotes key decorative pieces, feature surfaces, or this stunning kitchen island.
This space has a mid-century feel tempered with antiques, such as the French glass bottles, contemporary and eco-inspired furnishings, like the kirei board cabinets below.
It's like a modern day treehouse! Perfect for a summer's day – or a winter evening.

Inviting White Living Rooms
February 1, 2012 in Decorating, Design, Inspiration | Tags: brass, decor, Design, interior, living room. sofa, white | Comments closed
These rooms are all perfect for cocooning on a winter weekend. White and light and airy for some much-needed vitamin D, yet cozy and inviting for blustery days.
I can't get enough of this room. The genius combination of leather and felt on the sectional, paired with a kilim rug and marble table. Wow.
Gorgeous ceiling, another kilim rug, bench seating and those shelves…
I've got to sort out the pillow situation in our family room. I have my new velvet pillows but this picture tells me I'm far from done…
Herringbone floors, brass accents and a bit of greenery – the perfect way to ease into spring.

Three Ways to Warm Up White Rooms
January 18, 2012 in Art, Awards, Between these four walls: house tours, Uncategorized | Tags: black and white, brick wall, decor, Design, gold table, interior, white | 3 comments
I'm spotting gorgeous white rooms everywhere I look these days. Maybe it's a January thing – fresh new beginnings and all that. But these snowy palettes are definitely speaking to me. Here are three of the very best – each of them illustrates perfectly how to keep a whiter-than-white space from looking like the inside of a refrigerator.
Wood tones and textures
A live edge coffee table, squashy leather chair and patterned rug (is that hide patchwork?) signal lived-in comfort against that white backdrop. By designer Kelly Behun via Desire to Inspire.
Glamorous gold
Gold is a great way to warm up white – yet it still reads as a neutral. More to the point, though, an utterly glamorous ceiling takes any chill out of the white. Ornate crown molding, wallpaper or a darker shade of paint on the ceiling would achieve a similar, if less dramatic, effect. Via Residence Magazine.
Brick and stone
Raw brick and polished concrete are all this black and white kitchen need to feel characterful. Of course, it's not an easy to replicate if your place doesn't already have these features. But a stone tiled floor or even wall with lots of texture can achieve the same effect. The lighting in the recess above the stove helps too – pools of light seem so much more inviting that a completely even glow. By photographer Stuart McIntyre.
Three gorgeous spaces – I'd live in any of them.
Top 10 neutral interiors
August 15, 2011 in All-time favorites, Color palette, Decorating, Design | Tags: beige, decor, Design, fireplace, interior, kelly hoppen, Kitchen, library, Living room, neutral, taupe, Thomas O'Brien, white | 4 comments
I am a huge fan of neutral interiors. Huge. Those people who say beige is boring can't have seen it done right. To me, nothing is more soothing and elegant than a beautifully balanced scheme with whites, grays, taupes, chocolates and charcoals. So this post is both a defense and a celebration of neutral interiors. Here (in no particular order) are my top ten all-time favorite neutral interiors.
1. Contemporary cool
My number one room is actually two adjoining rooms, designed by Charlie & Co Design in Minneapolis (via Houzz). Each has a slightly different feel but the overall effect is very cohesive. I love the concrete fireplace, tan leather sofas and mixed material cabinetry.
2. Eclectic organic
Entry halls are difficult to make interesting because there's limited space for furniture and accessories. So making the most of the surfaces is important. This hallway uses an eclectic mix of Moroccan-inspired tiled floors, period molding and organic materials and shapes such as the branch mirror (and the woodblock table and Jonathan Adler lamp in the adjoining room) to make a stunning neutral space. Apply the same lessons to other spaces and use pattern and texture to liven up a neutral interior. Via The Marion House Book.
3. Modern lodge
I've featured this room before but had to include it here because it's such a great example of neutrals done right. The only splash of 'color' is in two tiny pillows, but this space is anything but drab. That's because the color actually comes from the use of lots of honey-hued wood. Interesting shapes and lots of tactile materials such as linen, rope (or cane?) chairs and felt. House designed by John Maniscalco Architecture via Houzz.
4. Fashionable classic
Here's a neutral space with a completely different vibe. This is the former living room of fashion designer Collette Dinnigan, featured in Elle Decor (via LiveBreatheDecor). There's virtually no color here at all (unless, is that a pale lilac throw…?) and yet the space is both interesting and beautiful. The pale furniture lets the period fireplace take center stage, while the modern floor lamp keeps it all from looking too saccharine sweet. If you have a strong feature like this mantelpiece, an uncluttered neutral scheme – with plenty of negative space to let it breathe – is a good way to make the most of it.
5. Upscale artistic
This space is a work of art – and not just because of the huge canvases. I love the herringbone wood floors, gently curving staircase, uneven turned wood floor lamp and the balance of black, white and beige. This is a great example of how unique shapes can enliven a very straightforward color scheme. The bentwood ball, on the other hand, just makes me think of tumbleweed… Via Canadian House and Home
6. Urban luxury
No neutral round-up would be complete without a room from the Queen of Taupe herself, Kelly Hoppen. This designer is renowned for her stunningly luxurious interiors, characterized by acres of taupe linen, black wood and polished crystal. I personally like her own London loft (above) best as it's more accessible and yet still inspirational. This is one room to study if you want to know how to make beige sumptuous.
7. Nature-inspired
One way to bring a neutral interior to life is with lots of plants. The greenery adds color without it actually 'counting' as color. I love the way this contemporary space uses frothy ferns, a hide rug and sequined pillows to make a more industrial loft friendly and inviting. Via Apartment Therapy
8. Understated glamor
The thing about neutral spaces is that you can go completely OTT on glamor, but it will never look kitschy. Take this stunning apartment, featured in Lonny Magazine. Opulent chandelier? Check. Herringbone hide rug? Check. Faux antlers? Check. Both Bertoia AND Calvin chairs? Of course. This is the epitome of glamor and yet it's tasteful (and gorgeous) because the palette is so subtle.
9. Relaxed Californian
Well, if you know me, you know I love this room and come back to it time and time again. OF course, it's the living room of Julie from Remodelista. What do I not love about this space? White cathedral ceilings, wood shelves, an Eames rocker. But the reason I think it's a great example of a neutral room is that it shows how the right layout and the emphasis on a few key features (in this case the shelving) can make all the difference.
10. Hamptons classic
Where else to search for the ultimate neutral interior than a designer's Hamptons retreat? This is the home of Thomas O'Brien, via Habitually Chic, and is a great example of how different warm whites, layered expertly, with a little dark brown or black to anchor it, can create a casually-styled look. O'Brien is a collector at heart and his rooms always have an inspiring mix of pieces – from stacked books to unusual lamps. If you want to make a neutral space warm and personal, start here.
So, what have I missed? Any other stunning neutral spaces that should make it into the top ten list?
Planning the white-and-wood kitchen
May 15, 2011 in Decorating, Design, My house | Tags: cabinet, caeserstone, countertop, Kitchen, pendant lamp, white | 1 comment
I've been busy sourcing fixtures and fittings for the kitchen renovation. As a reminder, we're looking for a kitchen that combines matte white cabinets, white quartz countertops, and warm-wood flooring and shelving.
This Bulthaup kitchen has been my inspiration for cabinets:
And these two stunning kitchens from Houzz show the type of wood finish I'm looking for, except here it's used in much greater quantities:
(By Schwartz and Architecture)
(By John Maniscalco Architecture)
I've found that Alno, a German manufacturer of kitchens has some great options. Here's one in wood-effect glass. It's not the one I'll choose (you'll have to wait for that!) but it gives you a good idea of the style.
So, in trying to put it all together, here's what I've come up with so far.
Of course, we're still getting all the contractor bids together so haven't even broken ground yet. But at least I know what kind of cereal bowls we'll have….!
13 inspiring white kitchens
January 31, 2011 in Decorating, Design, Inspiration | Tags: countertop, decor, Design, flooring, interiors, Kitchen, marble, vicente wolf, white, wood | 5 comments
We are in the market for a new kitchen this year. It's going to be a huge relief to finally get rid of the ancient cabinets, cracked floor tiles and crazy layout. I'll try to record the process here and will get the first few 'before' shots up soon. Meantime, I'm at the inspiration-collecting stage. I know I want a streamlined white kitchen but I don't want it to look too clinical. So I plan to introduce some warm wood tones, probably in the flooring since that will also provide continuity with the adjoining rooms. And, you know me, a little bit of sparkle wouldn't go amiss either… Anyway, here are some of the images currently fueling the creative process…
This one doesn't have the wood floors, only a wood countertop. But the open shelves are great. Via Eloisa & Abelard.
This is one spectacular kitchen, via Design Manifest. Probably not exactly what I'm looking for as it has no wood at all and uses Shaker-style cabinets. But I do like the steel (or is it zinc?) doors.
This is a very streamlined kitchen but still manages to incorporate warmth with the taupe walls and pendant lights. I'm not looking for glossy cabinets, but they do reflect the light beautifully here. Via Living Etc.
This one has a much more organic feel with open shelves and wood-framed doors. Stepping out onto a deck with a pool wouldn't be bad either…! Via Coco and Kelley.
Another lovely light kitchen, which shows how well the white cabinets look against the flooring. Via Desire to Inspire.
This wall of cabinets is cute, but it's the wide drawers that really appeal here. Photo by Per Magnus Persson.
What a great mix of old (herringbone flooring and cornicing) and new (lots of horizontal lines, wide drawers and the Moooi Random light fixture). Via this photostream.
Now I'm probably not going to end up with a Bulthaup kitchen, but if I did, I'd like it to be this one.
This kitchen mixes materials very effectively. The Carrera marble makes a stunning backdrop to those open shelves. I'm also a big fan of the 'waterfall' countertops down the side of the island. From Canadian House and Home.
Not a fan of the flooring or the countertops here, but the chandelier light fixture adds just the right amount of sparkle. Also from Canadian House and Home.
Ok, this isn't exactly a kitchen, but I do love the combination of white chairs and vintage wood table. By Vicente Wolf.
The last two are via Houzz. Lots to love about this kitchen: the unique hood, the little floating block shelves on the backsplash, the high stools, the mini pendants over the island.
More beautiful Carrera marble, dark wood floors and some striking glass pendants.
No doubt there will be many more twists and turns in this particular design journey, so watch this space…
A unique house with subtle styling

If I'm going to continue the theme of red-accented spaces, this unique house is the perfect place to stop next. It's the home of portrait photographer, Emily McCall.
Why do I love this house? Because it intrigues me and is truly one-of-a-kind. For a start, you'd think a palette of black, white and red would be brash and in-your-face, but instead it's quiet, almost monastic, but with a twist.
Great mix of textiles from Suzani to sackcloth to leather.
Any place that can combine a white bust with a Panton chair and look great is ok by me!
The bedrooms are like negatives of each other (how appropriate for a photographer!) Here's the light and airy white bedroom, with a few graphic punches in the form of the pillow, lamp and quirky clock.
And here's the black bedroom – a perfect foil for a vintage bus route sign….
…and a red velvet wingback chair! Genius. Makes me want to break out the black paint.
Thanks, Emily, for allowing me to post photos of your lovely home. Hope everyone else enjoys them as much as I did!

A room with the right amount of red

There's so much to like about this red-accented space that it almost makes me want to redecorate our entire house from scratch (family – don't be alarmed, I said 'almost').
There's nothing quite like joyful, juicy red, used in just the right quantity. Here, because the space is so light and easy, the effect is uplifting. I'm a huge fan of the kilim rug combined with a very simple, blocky white table.
The central shelving unit looks like a clever disguise for a load-bearing column. Doused in red, it brings the entire space together.
The Asian elements, such as these meditation chairs, the Buddah, rush mats and Japanese-inspired screens below, bring order to a small space and prevent it from looking cluttered.
Is there any smarter combination than red, white and charcoal? That dark wall works well to ease the transition between living area and kitchen.
A perfect study in red.
How to create a calming home
October 23, 2010 in Decorating, Design | Tags: bathroom, Bedroom, canopy bed, chandelier, decor, Design, Dining room, interiors, Kitchen, Living room, white | 3 comments
As you can probably tell from my lack of posts recently, life around here is a bit hectic. Birthday parties, babies, schools, travel and lots and lots of work – frankly I'm amazed we're keeping it together. It's at times like this that I crave a home that is an oasis of calm. Of course, that's not easy when you're slowing disappearing under a sea of toys and laundry. We manage it for a few hours each week, after a major clean-up and when everything is sparkling and tidy. But, for the rest of the time, I have to resort to my favorite books and blogs to find the kind of simple, streamlined, relaxing interiors that make the perfect antidote to a stressful day.
Here are a few of my recent favorites.
This kitchen, featured in Skona Hem, via Emma's Design Blogg, sums up my idea of restful design. Although it's predominantly white, it's not spartan (which I try to avoid as it just makes me feel uneasy). It has honey-colored wood, sloping ceilings, organic shapes, and some symmetry (those beautiful yellow and white glass pendants), all of which contribute to the sense of simplicity and calm.
A calming living room is the perfect balance of formal and casual, organized and relaxed. I've found the ideal combination in this room, from Greige, found via Fondly Seen. The art is what really sets the tone. But the comfortable chairs with a touch of formality, the slightly distressed wood paneling, the tall multi-paned windows – they all combine effortlessly to create an ideal of lived-in luxe.
A calm space doesn't have to be entirely clutter-free. This living room (via Lilac and Gray) manages that relaxed feel, despite having open shelves. The neutral color palette helps but it's the choice of materials that really creates the mood here: linen, cotton, wood and seagrass and the use of unpretentious and unchallenging ticking stripes, give the place a soothing, shoes-off vibe.
Can you have such a thing as a relaxing dining room? After all, isn't a dining room's design supposed to invite conversation, hilarity and stimulate appetite? Well, not in my book, not today at least! I like this dining room, from Elle Decor, via Arianna Belle, because it combines furniture styles and materials so effortlessly, is pretty and yet simple, and it combines striking full-height windows with softer drapes and chandeliers.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but for a relaxing bedroom, I like a lot of light. It doesn't make any difference to me if the sun's rays burst in at dawn because, with two young kids, chances are I'll be up by then anyway! But I do like the sense of space and calm a light room provides. I don't think I'll ever have a canopy like this over my own bed, but the effect here is pretty dreamy. With the soft blanket, acres of white bedlinen and simple furniture, this is pretty much the perfect place to retire after a busy day. Via BeautyComma.
Now, for bathrooms, I'm going to have to go with this one (also from Emma's Design Blogg). It has the cool neutrals, plenty of greenery, symmetry, organization and storage, but a relaxed organic feel, especially with the slate floors.
So what makes a calming room? Answer: whatever relaxes you. For some people that might be features like open fires or soft rugs, for others certain colors relax, for others it's all about organization. For me, it's neutral colors, plenty of negative space and light, a touch of greenery, organic shapes and textures and an effortless mix of styles that looks like it has evolved over time.
What about you?
The perfect summer palette
June 8, 2010 in Color palette, Decorating, Design, Houses, Inspiration | Tags: bathroom, Bedroom, decor, Design, green, interiors, Kitchen, Living room, loft, pink, white | 4 comments
I'm always drawn to modern white spaces with the simple, uncluttered look. But, at the same time, I know if I lived in one I'd long for a splash of color and a more casual vibe. This house is, to me, the perfect compromise. The combination of white gloss, horizontal lines and low-slung furniture with characterful accessories in fresh pink and green is just stunning. It would feel like summer year-round in this house, wouldn't it? (From Micasa Revista via Achados de Decoracao).
The key to this space is the styling. The essentials are all neutral but it's the pillows, blanket and flowers that inject color. The boxy sofas are tastefully restrained but the tropical print cushion and the chartreuse floor pillows just say 'relax'.
A glimpse of the kitchen shows it's just as minimal, with glossy white cabinets and a stainless steel hood. The use of drawers instead of traditional cabinets creates more horizontal lines to echo the living area's low-key, loungy feel.
I love these blue-gray light shades in the kitchen. I bet those bar stools actually live on the other side of the island though and are just placed there for the photo…
This bedroom actually has many of the things I tend to steer clear of: very low beds, multiple pillows, teeny tiny rugs… But the effect here, in the context of the rest of the space, is great. And that color palette again!
Now this is a bathroom to hang out in! Huge limestone tiles and sleek white drawers create yet more of those horizontal lines. And, yet again, it's balanced with a little bit of handcrafted character in the form of the crochet basket and perfume bottles.
Although it looks effortless and laid back, this space is actually a triumph in attention to detail. The fact that there's so much continuity from room to room no doubt adds to the relaxed feel. And the fresh colors and abundant light make this place almost as good as being outdoors on a summer's day. Almost!

ANALYSIS: The Flying Spaghetti Monster Gets A Fair Shake From Deutsche Welle
Does a reporter have to be a believer to cover religion?
A simple question, but a vexing one, as there are two currents of thought at work in Western culture today.
The classical view, characterized as the Anglo-American school of journalism, would say no. For journalists working from this perspective, the highest virtue is critical disinterest. The reporter's personal views play no part in the story. He or she writes from a distance, laying out the facts, providing context and history, with the goal of enabling the reader to make up their own mind.
There are limits. One may assume Hitler and the Nazis were evil. But few questions are as straightforward as that. For example, how do you report on religions on the margins? Do you have to believe in the religion you are covering? What if you are assigned a story on Pastafarians?
The European school of journalism sees reporting primarily as a species of ideological activism. The message the story teaches -- not the content of the story -- is where value lies. The issue for a devotee of advocacy journalism is not whether a story is worth reporting, but what cause will this serve if it is reported?
The precise components of that activism will vary depending on the nature of the politics involved. Radical feminists have their issues and controversies, which tend to differ from issues and controversies that preoccupy devotees of racial, cultural, political, sexual and the other tribal commitments of the postmodern West.
The end product of this school of advocacy journalism differs according to the political aims of the author. But all work from the premise cited by Joseph Stalin in 1932: «писатели — инженеры человеческих душ». (Writers - engineers of the human soul). Союз писателей СССР, Воронежское отделение, «Подъëм» (1990), p. 48.
Advocacy journalism, by its very nature, is more pleasing to a mind predisposed to its conclusions. A skeptic would likely relish the recent story in the Independent -- "Bible says Canaanites were wiped out by Israelites but scientists just found their descendants living in Lebanon" -- that held the Bible had been proven false by DNA testing. TMatt reviewed this canard in a recent GetReligion piece, beginning his critique with the note the Bible does not say the Canaanites were wiped out by the Israelites.
From the classical perspective, this self-contented, hopelessly ignorant, deliberately provocative, commercially compromised, and politically motivated article is wretched journalism. But it's a tour de force of the advocacy school if your goal is to tarnish the Christian faith. It has the added bonus of being "click-bait," driving up a website's traffic and hopefully its advertising revenue.
Were the Independent clever, it would have played this both ways by highlighting the falsity of the Old Testament while also proclaiming a newly discovered miracle of Jesus. After all, Mark and Matthew's Gospels recount his meeting a Canaanite woman. Not only did he drive out a daemon from her child, he revived a destroyed civilization!
Not all continental news outlets have sunk to the pamphleteering epitomized by this Independent article. The German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle recently published a story that gives a fair hearing to the Pastafarians.
"German courts take on the Flying Spaghetti Monster" reviews a court ruling in Germany's Brandenburg state that adjudicated a religious sign dispute. As drivers enter the town of Templin, three signs erected by the local highway authority direct motorists to the Catholic, Evangelical and Protestant churches in town. The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster erected a fourth sign directing motorist to its weekly Nudelmesse, or "noodle mass." The dispute centered on whether the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was a bona fide religious organization.
The article lays out the history of the group, and interviews its local leader, Rüdiger Weida, who goes by the pastafari name "Brother Spaghettus."
Deutsche Welle writes:
Those familiar with German law know that in order to be legally recognized as a registered association, an organization must demonstrate its benefit to the public - something that's easier said than done for a carb-based religious parody. "Our concern - also according to the organization's charter - is the promotion of a scientific worldview," said chairman Rüdiger Weida …
However, the group had moved beyond its protest base and sought to present a coherent worldview:
"Earlier there was the addition of 'factual and satirical means,' but we had to change that a little following pressure from the tax office because there wasn't enough of a clear public benefit," [Weida] said.
The article offers comment by an expert on the subject, explaining its aims.
As journalist Daniela Wakonigg, a theologian and author of a book on the Flying Spaghetti Monster, explains: "Alternative religions are associations with the goal of living out their own lifestyle or building their own fandom, but satirical religions have a serious concern - namely, criticizing the special position granted to religions in society." A community such as the pastafarians want to "hold up a mirror to established religions - especially regarding the non-provability of their gods, the inconsistency of religious argumentation and the special position they demand in society due to unchallenged beliefs," Wakonigg told DW. One method of doing so is erecting signs on the side of the road.
The article concluded with the news the Brandenburg court ruled against the Pastafarians.
The court ruled that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was not an ideological community, and therefore had no right to its own signs. But Brother Spaghettus isn't giving up: If necessary, he will take the fight all the way to the European Court of Justice, he said after the verdict.
I applaud Deutsche Welle for playing this story straight, and not seeking to elicit cheap laughs or juvenile sarcasm. The boorishness on display in the Independent's article on the Canaanites is not seen in this story on a religious group that admittedly arose from sarcasm and protest.
The story is balanced and well written. "Brother Spaghettus" is not presented as a crank, though the photographs permit the conclusion that he is rather eccentric. Nor is the story of the National Geographic-type of religion reporting -- "look at the quaint natives in their exotic dress." The individuals involved speak for themselves. The issues are presented without prejudice, and the story is given an impartial framing. And, I very much doubt Deutsche Welle sent a Pastafarian from Berlin to write this story.
Can a non-believer write religion news stories? Here is evidence that they can, and can do so with professional skill.

IKEA 2009 Catalog & Etc.
I was invited to an event recently down in New York to celebrate the launch of the 2009 IKEA catalog. I couldn't make it with all that I have going on right now, but after looking over their new catalog online I'm thrilled to say that 2009 is looking really good for IKEA. The cover is fantastic, love the art, the rug, the bold black paired with crisp white, and of course the shot of pink. I know I'm a total geek for posting this because you can see all of these images online but I don't care, I like affordable design and feel sometimes like IKEA doesn't get the full respect that they deserve. I was always so hesitant to purchase from them but after a few purchases I'm all for IKEA nowadays.
Home is the most important place in the world is their mantra. Like it. I agree totally. When the world wipes its snotty nose on your sleeve, you have your home as an escape. Of course, home isn't just for hiding from the cruel, cruel world. :) It's also for entertaining, creating, dreaming, and so many other good things and most of all it's the place where you can be YOU. You can do crazy things that you'd never do in public. You can burp the alphabet, treat yourself to a can of Spaghetti O's at midnight watching reruns of Will & Grace, and walk around naked no matter what shape you are in. That is what makes it the most important place in the world. There really isn't a spot on earth where you can be yourself 100%, let's face it, we try to behave most of the time. At home, screw it. We LIVE. And that is just so lovely. I remember when I was 19 and moved into my first apartment, away from family, and how I just laid on the bed the first night gazed up at the ceiling and thought, "You made it, you have your own home now". It was a great feeling of 'arrival' and the only time in my life when it hit me that from that point on, I could do whatever I wanted, when I wanted, in the privacy of my own home. No longer confined to pure freedom in only the bedroom of my parents home, I had run of the house. I ruled the roost and there is no better feeling. Home rocks. :)
Back to IKEA. There are many new products that are very stylish and affordable, and I'm really enjoying the overall presentation of the rooms in this catalog -- they feel a bit different from the '08 one and I'm unable to put my finger on why exactly. I have my eye on this entertainment cabinet for my new apartment. It will be perfect for the space I'm looking to place it. I'm waiting for this white Samsung to become available so I can order it. I told my husband we're doing a white television in our new place. You would have been proud of me ladies, I put my big girl shoes on and down went my right foot. I was prepared to hold my own and battle it out. We have a big black shiny thing here in the states (I lost during our last television purchase) and I'm just so over the massiveness of it and wasn't interested in the whole rinse and repeat of buying the same black 'window to the world' all over again. And there I was in my living room, ready to duke it out, and he was like, "Sure no problem mausy". As calmly and as sweet as that. He's fine with a white television as long as it has everything needed to do what he needs it to do. In other words, it needs to be pimped. So white it is. I LOVE THIS MAN.
Speaking of shopping for new stuff, I'm going to IKEA in Germany this weekend. I leave on Thursday from Boston, arrive on Friday, and Saturday I'm taking the train to the big blue box. I'm fully charged, lists are in hand, and I'm ready to go. I have my shiny new EC card (kind of like an American debit card) and the money I've slaved to save for the past several years is linked to my card and calling to me. "Spend me!", it cries. "If you desire", I reply.
I'm not rich and yet people assume this because oh-la-la I have two apartments in two countries now so I must be swimming in cash. Truth is, I'm kind of good with money and so is my husband. I sucked with money in my twenties but my god the planets must have lined up and hell perhaps froze over because in my thirties I started to climb out of debt and into the plus. Now that we're embarking on this exciting new journey, I cannot lie, I'm extremely excited to have a second pad abroad and the money to do it. And warning: You may have to suffer through me talking about it a few more times but please allow me to bask in all of this. It was my dream for many years and I'm finally reaching it so of course it's all I'm thinking about right now. When I was getting married I was more excited of course, but this is the second most exciting moment of my life to land in Germany on Friday, pick up the keys to our new abode, and turn that shiny key. I think I may pee the second I open the door and breathe in all of that new apartment smell. It may be empty, but with IKEA and the myriads of retail stores waiting, it will be OUR HOME in no time flat.
And yes, of course I'll share all of this with you as we go. I've already launched a second blog called Haus Maus, so you can follow my adventures as an American in Germany over there. I doubt I'll post my home photos and such here on decor8, but I tell you what... When I post them on Haus Maus I'll put a link in the Daily News section so you can go over there and see them.
By the way, and I apologize for rambling... But I found it so funny over the weekend when I was trying to place an order for a German IKEA catalog to be sent to my apartment there and newsflash! Some error message appeared that homes within my zip code would automatically receive a catalog within a few weeks. HELLO GERMANY. I smiled and asked my husband about this and he said that they are usually sent directly to homes without residents having to request one. Now how cool is that? Shows you how popular they really are over there I guess.

LOCATION: Lincoln Centre.
MUSIC: Piano melodies and the upbeat song "Stay Awake" by London Grammar.
FRONT ROW ATTENDEES: June Ambrose & Jay Manuel.
In what is easily one of his most beautiful collections to date, Tadashi Shoji brought classic Venetian elegance to Day 1 of Mercedes Benz Fashion week with his Spring Summer 2015 collection. Delicate and feminine, Shoji showed the most beautiful form hugging lace gowns in soft peach, ivory and lavender. He also created many mid-length dresses – one with a cape – many with half sleeves and collars.
The styling was beautiful: with models in minimal make up and hair pulled into a braided chignon, allowing the focus to remain on the stunning designs.

Closing the Interview/
"Oh man, how on earth do I get out of here? How do I leave professionally?"
You have probably experienced it – the constant struggle to find the right words to signal a professional exit.
Have you ever heard of the phrase "closing the interview"? Why should you close an interview?
Chantelle Svensen-Lewis, Partner with Svensen Neighbour Recruiting, explains this as the process of reconfirming your interest in a position and ensuring you make an impact. A formal close is important in making sure you stand out among all other candidates.
Interview professional, Svensen-Lewis wishes to help you understand the process of closing the interview. By the end of this article, she is confident you can master your next professional exit and make an impact!
Like anything, you must start before you finish. The same is true for an interview. Prior to closing, you must first have a good interview – but, what makes a good interview? Here's what Svensen-Lewis would tell you:
First and foremost, a good interview consists of being prepared; so get researching!
Make sure you can speak confidently about the company – know what they do. Try finding something you like about the company even if it's new to you. Maybe they are involved with the community or a charity that speaks to you. Identify something the company has done recently that you could speak on in the interview. Is this a company you could see yourself working for?
Make sure you know yourself, position requirements, and company culture.
Ensure that what you have on your resume is an accurate representation of yourself; be able to speak on these experiences. Understand what is required of you in this position. What skills, qualities, and experiences do you possess that will make you an asset in this role? How do you align with the culture of the organization?
Ensure you ask questions! This helps to confirm your interest in the position and the company.
Make sure you know everything you need to about the job position. Maybe you want to know what the role expectations are in the first 30/60/90 days. Conclude your questions by asking "Is there anything else you wish to know about me?"
And there it is, the question most hate: "Why should we hire you?"
Now you're sitting in the interview room with sweat rolling down your spine, and if you weren't planning your exit before, you definitely are now! Relax. All your questions are answered and you have been given the perfect chance to make an impact. It's time to close!
Start your close by reconfirming your interest. Re-state an element of the organization or role that is of strong interest or excites you. State why you would be an asset to the company, and re-iterate your qualifications and how it links to the role. Not only does this demonstrate that you care about the company and the position, but you understand what is required. Tell them what excites you about the company and the employment opportunity.
There. That's why they should hire you. Was that so bad?
Now the interviewer will wrap everything up, shake your hand, and send you on your way.
But wait, it's not over yet. Make sure you send a professional follow up email; short and sweet. Thank them for taking the time to interview you and remind them that you are excited about the position.
There you have it! Closing the interview isn't so hard after all, is it? The next interview will be a breeze; good luck!
