June THREE
We've been {sorta} packing and planning and some big things have been happening and I'm so excited about them and I'm so excited to see friends and family and give them big hugs and sit and drink large glasses of Canadian milk {oh yes.} and give them all the lovely things I've been buying for them.
Needless to say, we've been busy. And so this blog has been neglected. But it won't always be this way.
Blaise has been sleeping a bit better {as in averaging 1 wake up to nurse per night, not including the one between 10 and 11pm} and napped for a total of 5.5 hours yesterday! Whaaaa?!?
Noah and Jude have helped me do a preliminary sorting of toys and it was relatively pain-free as we decided what toys to leave here/give away and what toys to bring back to Canada. They're excited to move, although every now and then one of them will mention something they'll miss about Uganda like our house or our yard or their friends.
I just realized that our next monthly picture will be in Canada! That makes me both incredibly sad and yet also incredibly nervous/excited.
Oh the things we will do! Oh the places we will go!
I take pictures of my kids every month. Check out past months here.
10 comments:
i can only imagine the emotions you are all going through.ReplyDelete
i'll miss the African posts :) but looking forward to the Canadian ones.
i'm impressed that with everything you're doing right now that you got this picture and post done on the right day. way to go!
i think i need to move to another country so that we can purge our toys easier.Replies
Yeah, as silly as it seems, it was a priority to get it done today. Maybe to have one thing that I know is going to happen. :)Delete
Yeah, moving (anywhere) helps with the purging process for sure. Just don't move away just as we're coming back, though! :D
Oh so lovely! sad and happy thoughts - all good! get up each morning and have the boys yell wtih you 'thank you God for ...' as you look out around you! I love the pictures - great captures. MomReplyDelete
I will hug you. It will be great.ReplyDelete
We'll laugh, cry, laugh, hug and eat. oh. there will be eating.Replies
YES, YES, and YES. So excited. *fist pump*Delete
i CAN NOT wait to see you my friend, I miss your hugs, and chats, and coffee dates, and baking, and laughs. So thankful for your faithfulness to follow God to the ends of the earth - and just as thankful that He's bringing you back home :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, you've had such an amazing experience and it's been so fun to follow along but I am sure you are glad to be going "home". I know I would be... Look how big Blaise is getting - WOW! Good Luck as you continue to get ready to go! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Elaine. I am glad. It's been such a wild ride and I'm so glad we did it. :)Delete
I love hearing from you!

On a chilly winter evening is there anything more inviting than a plate of hot stuffed parantha with a dollop of butter melting on the top, a cup of steaming ginger tea to go with it, curled up inside the warmth of a quilt watching a good movie with your favorite person?
|Stuffed Parantha
This is the season when you can indulge in a bit of oily stuff which you normally avoid in the summers. And with all those fresh winter veggies flooding the market you can stuff your parantha with those of your choice. I stuffed mine with potatoes, carrots, beans, green peas, onions, ginger, chopped green chillies and lots of chopped coriander leaves.
|Stuffed Paranthas
Here's the recipe of this delish Indian bread…..
- 3 large potatoes peeled
- 3 carrots peeled
- 300 gms green peas peeled
- 12-14 beans
- 2 large onions finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped
- 2 tsp green chillies finely chopped
- Lots of coriander leaves finely chopped
- 2 tsp chat masala powder
- Wheat flour for the parantha dough
- Salt to taste
- A mix of white oil and ghee/clarified butter for frying the paranthas
Cut the potatoes in four dices, and boil/ steam them together with carrots and beans. In a separate bowl boil the peas with a pinch of salt. Keep on a plate to cool after straining the water. The veggies must not be overboiled.
Step 2:
Prepare the dough for the parantha. Knead it soft.
Now prepare the stuffing. Mash all the boiled veggies and mix chopped onions, ginger, green chillies and coriander. If the stuffing becomes a bit soggy sprinkle some flour and mix. Add salt and chat masala powder. Check the seasoning before stuffing.
Step 4:
Now tear out small dough, flatten it with hands, fill in the stuffing and carefully fold it in all sides so as not to spill the filling. With the help of a rolling pin flatten it out into paranthas.
Step 5:
On a tawa fry the paranthas well on both sides and serve hot with any chutney dip of your choice or malai. I just love them with a heap of butter. Yummmmmmm……

How to access application level variables in Puppet
I know this question can be open to interpretation so I will ask for specifics.
I am leveraging Puppet to keep some application level variables and settings in check. The problem I am having is a lot of these variables are not set in facts like things like operatingsystem, hostname, ipaddress, etc. I am then having trouble trying to figure out how to leverage puppet to create variables to act on.
For example, I have some servers that are running different versions of an application and so I need to be able to figure out what version is running on the server. How can I do this?
My first thoughts are that since these facts are not provided in the standard facts list that I should create facts of my own that I can leverage and so I am doing something like the following:
In my script.sh I am executing linux commands to get variables from the application. and then echoing them out in the format
So where the application version is stored I would find that location and then echo out the version. Then at runtime I can use a variable like $app_ver to make specific configuration changes. Such as
- Is this the correct way of defining external facts?
- Are there standard ways of getting Application-Level details?
- When puppet applies on a given app server, will the script.sh run, provide facts and then make those variables available to the puppet master to determine config changes?
- Will the computation in the script.sh file have to run on every server that matches this class?

A Boy Raising Beef
Our oldest son loves cattle. Right now he has ten Black Angus steers that he is raising for sides of beef.
It's his own deal. He has a lease on the property behind us and bought the calves. Investing a year of time and money into them is a big investment for a young man. But it's something that he loves to do and it's helping support him through college.
It's also a good example of why we built a farm. In our day and age, boys are not given the opportunity to work. We believe God instilled in them a need to be active and achieve something. Hard work and responsibility teach boys to become men.
Getting up before the sun comes up to feed them isn't always easy especially on the weekend. The rewards can be small but satisfying. The cattle allowing him to pet them is one of those rewards.
Jake's cattle are pasture raised but are brought in each day and feed a minimal amount of grain so he can check on them. They like their daily ration of corn, alfalfa, soybean, cotton seed hulls, and molasses (with no antibiotics or steroids).
The nose licking means that's good stuff. I love that cattle do that! It's so funny!
After their meal, they go back out to graze and grow.
By June they will be full size.
Jake is taking orders for sides of beef if anyone local is interested. You can even come pick one out.
And if you are not local, I would like to encourage you to support a local rancher. Home grown beef is the best!

By Jonnelle Marte
Major stock indexes hit a six-month high today, but many financial advisers are warning clients to not make too much of reaching the mini-milestone.
Boosted by a strong jobs report and better-than-expected bank earnings, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 45 points today, to 12623, following a 96 point rise on Wednesday. The Dow is up 3.3% this month, and has gained 18% since markets hit their lowest level last year on Oct. 3. The S&P 500 is up 4.5% for the year, while the Nasdaq Composite has risen 7%.
While investing pros say reaching the new high is a sign the economy in the U.S. may be improving, they also say more volatility is likely. "The rug could be pulled out from underneath investors quickly," says Brian Jacobsen, chief portfolio strategist for Wells Fargo Funds Management. For example, a disappointing report from the Federal Reserve next week, or another round of bad news from debt-laden Europe, could send stocks spiraling again, he says. Today's inflation report, which said prices on gasoline and groceries continue to rise, could also have a negative impact on consumer spending — and the markets.
But while some advisers were tweaking portfolios regularly during last year's extreme turbulence, including shifting more clients to cash during August's downturn, many now say they're advising clients not to overreact to the recent movements. Devin Pope, a wealth adviser with Albion Financial Group in Salt Lake City, says he's keeping his clients' stock allocations steady. That said, he has been cutting back on certain sectors that had a nice run last year, such as utilities, and moving the proceeds to cheaper pharmaceutical stocks that have a promising pipeline of drugs.
Other advisers are even upping their equity allocations, despite the challenges. Jacobsen recommends investors increase their stock holdings by roughly 5%, and to add a mixture of shares from defensive sectors like consumer staples and health care, which should outperform if the economy improves. He also still likes technology stocks, which would also benefit as companies upgrade their computers, equipment and software. "We're being guardedly aggressive," he says.

Build a Popsicle Stick Clock in the Style of an Old English Georgian Bracket Clock!
It all started in 2010 with an eBay search for a nice wall clock. I wanted a clock decorated with animals, preferably wolves or dogs, in color, but with a traditional look. Almost immediately, I found the perfect clock (well, almost), new in box. The only problem is that these clocks are almost always powered by battery quartz movements and rarely (if ever) mechanical (spring wind, weight driven, or synchronous AC motor). And I absolutely HATE battery quartz movements. Then, an idea came to me: why not build a clock?
Searching around, I came across an E. Ingraham spring wind clock movement dated 1868 (bought off eBay earlier for a now-abandoned project idea) and a bag of Popsicle sticks I had been saving since I was a kid (some were used but most were really purchased as "craft sticks") and other junk materials. I had collected craft/Popsicle sticks with the intention of using it in "high end" quality Popsicle stick crafts – is there even such a thing??? Now would be the perfect time to take the challenge to find out…
The Design
The next step was to come up with a design. The clock should have a traditional look, be able to use as much as possible, the material I already have on hand, and I should be able to paint a picture on it somewhere. I found many sites on how to build a clock but they were all designed for battery movements. Woodworking plans that were available were mostly for purchase, and examples of Popsicle stick clocks and other Popsicle stick crafts, while fun and creative, were either too playful or childish in appearance. Many of those projects published online do look nice but they just weren't what I was looking for.
After researching various clock designs, one style I really liked was the Old English Georgian bracket clock with a bell top (or inverted bell top) and a break arch front window. They are called "bracket clocks" because they were designed to be placed on wall-mounted bracket shelves, although a majority were actually placed on mantels or tabletops. This beautiful design dates back to the 18th century (1700's) and production continued into the turn of the 19th century (early 1800's). Georgian bracket clocks were often made of mahogany veneered on pine or oak; others were ebonized or lacquered. Many were built in London by various clock-makers (those of a modified design built outside London are called "provincial" bracket clocks), and bracket clocks were always expensive when new (more expensive than long-case [grandfather] clocks). This is the design (English Georgian bell top) I have decided to use for my Popsicle stick clock.

Give Thanks with a grateful heart today and everyday of your life. I didn't grow up celebrating Thanksgiving being that I was born and raised in the Caribbean and back in the days we didn't know about this beautiful and meaningful tradition. It wasn't until I came to U.S. when I started celebrating Thanksgiving that very same year. Even though we all may have different menus on our table depending on our culture, we still have in common the main purpose of this Holiday:
Give Thanks With A Grateful Heart!
I am personally thankful for who I am today; for the person I have become; for the crazy but so loving Family I have; for the crazy but also great and Real Friends I have; for having Eva María (my Yorkie) in my life; for the Job I have; for being able to breath and feel the artic cold outside; for having all the clothes and accessories I ever dreamed about 😉 ; for the opportunity of celebrating this Holiday today with some of the most important people in my Life♥
There is an infinite list with things that I am grateful for, same way I'm pretty sure your list is; but the important thing is to Give Thanks with a grateful heart everyday and every time you are able to. The more you are grateful, the more you are preparing yourself to receive great things.
It is easy sometimes to forget about all the great things God or the Universe have conferred to us, especially when are going through hardship; but this is the perfect moment to show appreciation for all the good things we have, instead of focusing in the negative and what we don't have.
I have previously written an article called "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." -Oprah Winfrey and I had said that "by being thankful for everything we have and always expressing it, we are sending a positive message to the Universe and what that means is that we will be attracting more of that positive energy toward us…"
Focusing in our lacks it is just a way of attracting more of those lacks. Today, choose to give thanks with a grateful heart for all the positive things in your Life and make a commitment to do it every single day from now on…
Happy Thanksgiving My Friends!!!

The Round Table - Learning How to Think
Art Type: Mind Games
The Round Table is a unique meeting place where the broad public can be introduced to thinking games, as well as, learning thinking strategies and implementing various solving approaches. Today, there are four active arenas – in Tel Aviv arts and crafts fair, in Caesarea Harbor National Park, in the Greek Market in Jaffa and in LA California. A number of new stands are expected to open in Europe soon. People of all ages, regardless of their backgrounds, are invited to the arena. The activity in the site is based on the original thinking games, developed by the game inventor - David Hirsch. The unique thing about David's games is that, each one of them enables confronting dozens of varied thinking challenges in various levels of difficulty. The high quality games produced by David himself have a splendid aesthetic design, and can be purchased on the spot.

Research to Improve Profitability and Environmental Benefits of Grass Seed Farming Systems
General Background: Over 60% of the world's supply of cool-season forage and turf grass seed is produced on farms in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Because these farms constitute a significant portion of the regional landscape, especially in
A more science-based approach for future environmental policy decisions will require considerably more detailed knowledge of farming practices and ecological consequences of those practices across the landscape. Previous research found that losses of nutrients, sediments, and pesticides were far higher during periods of stand removal and reseeding than after establishment of perennial grasses grown for seed.
Because of spatial variation in soil types, crop species, and stand durations, delivery to rivers and streams of sediments, nutrients, and pesticides can also be expected to vary across the landscape, along with their impact on fish, amphibians, waterfowl, and other biological indicators.

Problem: Adoption and use of precision agriculture methods in grass seed production is limited by quality of data and difficulties in formulating and rigorously testing statistical hypotheses.
Objective: Improve the signal-to-noise ratio in combine yield monitor data streams by procedures that better recognize non-uniform operating conditions to select the most reliable data for further analysis against known spatial patterns, including soil types, elevation, and proximity to pests and variable rate management inputs.
Goal: To develop profitability maps identifying portions of fields most and least suited to grass seed production and other alternatives land uses, including conservation easements, riparian zones, and forests.
Monitor and analyze weed distribution patterns
Problem: Limited knowledge of weed severity patterns across the landscape hinders effective decision making by farmers, production consultants, and regulators. Public availability of a grass seed weed GIS could improve pesticide development, registration, and application decisions, but privacy concerns have delayed the development of such a GIS.
Objective: Develop procedures to characterize the significant features of weed demographics in the grass seed industry without revealing confidential business information.
Goal: To transform weed severity data in 10 years of Oregon Seed Certification inspection reports into publicly available maps of weed severity hot spots useful in weed control decision-making by farmers, consultants, and regulators.

- Cuisine in the Country
- August 20, 5 p.m., $100
- Buckhorn Ranch, Highway 93, 877-870-3003
- Beyond the Weekly
- lincolncountynevada.com
Imagine expert chefs crafting a casual Italian meal on a working ranch using produce and proteins from the farm and its neighbors. If it sounds like the kind of daydream reserved for residents of California, the Hudson Valley or the Pacific Northwest, it's time to put Alamo, Nevada into your GPS. On August 20, Buckhorn Ranch will host the second annual Cuisine in the Country, a celebration of Lincoln County bounty and Strip culinary skill that merges the two for a one-night-only dinner down on the farm. Chefs from Mario Batali's Venetian/Palazzo eateries—Carnevino, B&B and Otto Pizzeria—will do the cooking, serving dishes like spit-roasted ribeye, Sardinian-style goat and summer salads, with courses paired by Batali sommeliers. Buckhorn Ranch and Batali already take farm-to-table dining seriously, with the restaurants using local produce from the ranch, then shipping vegetable trimmings back to Alamo to be turned into rich fertilizer. On Saturday, the farm and the table just get a little closer together.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Trace the pattern you want to make on a sheet of parchment. You can use a simple design or one more intricate, but make sure they image leaves enough room to easily fill the spaces with candy.
Line your patterned parchment into a baking sheet. Use the gingerbread cookie dough to create 1/8-inch thick ropes and lay them over the pattern on the parchment.
Be sure to pinch together any seams so they are strong, especially if you intend to hang the stained glass cookies by ribbon.
Bake the cookie dough for about 3 minutes, just to set it. You don't need to bake it completely, because it will bake further after you've added the candy. Allow the cookie dough to cool completely before adding the candy.
Select the candy you want and crush it into small pieces. Depending on the candy this can be done with a knife, mortar and pestle or food processor.
Arrange the crushed candy in the spaces between the set cookie dough. Make the layers even and bring it as close to the edge as possible.
Bake the cookies for about 5 minutes, until the candies have melted and are smooth. They will be very sticky when hot, but as soon as they cool they will peel right off the parchment.
There is usually a bubble from the candy that will allow you to thread a ribbon in the glass. Don't try to hang it from the cookie edge, because the cookie alone won't be strong enough to hold it up.
To make the gingerbread cookie dough:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and clove.
In the bowl of a stand mixer cream together the butter and brown sugar with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium-high speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each and scraping the sides of the bowl. Mix in the molasses on low speed, until well blended. Add the flour all at once and mix on low speed just until it all comes together. Scrape down the bowl and turn the speed to medium, beat for 15 seconds.
Wrap the gingerbread dough in plastic and refrigerate until set up, at least an hour.

I kicked off my Whole30 on July 1, and experienced the familiar "I'm eating right" signs: much reduced bloat, and higher, steadier energy.
One thing that really surprised me, since I've never gone dairy-free for an extended period: My skin looks so much better. Zits went down to negligible levels, and the oily/dry difference (T-zone anybody?) has evened out a lot. Why, with results like this, I'm starting to consider trying out the oil-cleansing method.
So far, the hardest things for me to give up have been:
- Giving up my coffee with heavy cream. Old habits die hard.
- My pastured butter. However, in the absence of butter, I've found that a modest drizzle of macadamia oil is a great dairy-free substitute for butter in topping veggies.
- Cheese
- Honey, and plain whole fat yoghurt with honey

The Scottish Conservatives have selected their parliamentary candidate for North constituency Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross ahead of May's General Election.
They have selected Alastair Graham – who is head of a private school in Surrey and partner in a Devon farming business – to contest the vote against incumbent Liberal Democrat MP, John Thurso; Scottish Labour's John Erskine; and formidable SNP candidate, Dr Paul Monaghan.
Also a borough and parish councillor for Surrey Heath, Mr Graham stood for election in the constituency in 2010 and came in at fourth place.
Bookmakers currently set Mr Graham odds of 100/1 to win the seat.
Approached by Independence Live, local Tory Campaign Staffer, Max Bannerman, refused to answer questions surrounding Mr Graham's candidacy but said "Alastair was a very good candidate in 2010 and was warmly received by constituents – significantly increasing our vote."
However, all eyes are on incumbent MP John Thurso who believes he is running a "two horse race" with the SNP's Paul Monaghan.
In previous years, Thurso had enjoyed a large majority of the vote but this was slashed in 2010 to 16 per cent. Currently, all bookmakers and polls are agreed that Monaghan will unseat Thurso in May.
We can be certain that the coming weeks will make for interesting and entertaining political commentary.

Message From the Principal
Dear Bluford Families:
I am delighted to be a part of the Bluford School community for the third year. One of my goals
for UBCS is to create strong connections between the home and school and where all staff
members are committed to developing the whole child. In addition to building strong
relationships, it is particularly important to me to make sure your child and you feel safe at
school. We believe in fair and consistent student discipline that first teaches our scholars how
to behave but also holds them accountable for their misbehavior. I value both of these
characteristics and am excited to move Bluford along the path of excellence.
One of the most important aspects of my work as Bluford's Principal is making academic gains
through teaching and learning. We safeguard instructional time and use research and data to

City Guide: Austin, Texas
Hotel Saint Cecilia – classy, chic, sophisticated, and envy-inducing are all words that come to mind when I type Hotel Saint Cecilia. An excerpt from the website reads " Created in honor of the patron saint of music and poetry, the Saint Cecilia takes inspiration from the great era of the late 1960's and early 1970's when a revolution of rock and roll and beat poetry overran the hallowed halls of established convention. We pay tribute to the great creative legacy of our revolutionary idols and to the spirit of the artist that lies within us all." The particulars that the author of this failed to mention is the 50-foot heated lap pool that is open 24 hours a day, the lovely poolside dining; this is a not miss hotel in Austin.
Kimber Modern – Tucked away on a quiet suburban side street off only one block from restaurants and live music galore – yet tucked in a woodsy oasis – is it a mansion? is it a store? No, it is Kimber Modern, the latest in new hotel technology. Here is, in the words of Kimber Cavendish, "My goal was to create an exceptional architectural work of art, tailored toward the independent urban traveler. Here you'll have all the comfort of the finest hotel with the intimacy of a bed and breakfast. I invite you to define your own experience through our invisible service concept where everything you could want or need has been provided effortlessly at your fingertips. Release yourself from the usual constraints and notions of the average hotel. … It's simply a functional, comfortable and beautiful work of art.""
Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa – A sort of resort meets movie backdrop, Texas cuisine and live music reign at their open air pavilion, Three Springs Spa holds all sorts of natural treatments to make you look better than ever before, 11 tennis courts allow you to strengthen your game while on vacation, one of my favorites (golf!) 4 distinct golf courses, their words, my agreement, are settled in the rolling regions of Texas to create a special kind of game where you feel as if you are in a tournament with just you and your competitors- erm, I mean your family. Beautiful views abound this property, especially with its nature hiking trails and indoor and outdoor pools, make you feel as if you are set in a painting.
Travaasa Austin – Conde Naste 2014 rates this as a top hotel and it is easy to see why, beautiful balcony views from a secluded estate, wonderful stables and ropes courses plus zip lining allow for non stop adventures. The infinity pool and yoga studio also allows time to relax and recharge before the spa that has all sorts of refreshing treatments. At night you can dine or help cook with renowned chefs and enjoy culinary masterpieces under the stars on their balcony.
Wine & Dine:
Elizabeth Street Café – Known for spicy bowls that are fabulously flavorful and the best iced coffee i've ever had. Last time I was in Texas I went three times in two days and did not go often enough. Traditional vietnamese fair paired with chic, colorful decor makes for the perfect dining environment.
La V – best meal i've had in Texas hands down. It was pouring down rain as my dad pulled the car around so I hopped out and ran in through the stately doors, I just avoided the downpour. We went for father's day, to start we ordered powdered sugar donuts, bacon, fruit, coffee orange juice, then we continued with salad and many other delightful dishes to follow. After stuffing ourselves completely full of delicious food, we took a walk through the Texas State Cemetery, beautiful grounds on the opposite side of the restaurant.
Torchy's Tacos – there are multiple locations for this traditionally made, uniquely named food across Austin. I strongly recommend getting the guacamole and the independent (in terms of tacos, not political beliefs, I wouldn't tell you what to think) The lines always are long but if you know your order you can be seated in 10 minutes and the casual atmosphere provides perfect dining when you want something spur of the moment.
Dolce Neve – a brand new staple in Austin cuisine. Quality gelato with adorable shirts they have equally adorable workers who are always up for a chat. I strongly recommend the coffee 😉 Across the way there is also a gorgeous butterfly wall mural where you can take fun pictures with your iced treats for instagram (feel free to follow me: @julia_orr)
Franklin BBQ – unbelievably long line, unbelievably worth it. Best in the world BBQ, with the best hype in the business. If you are a fan of BBQ or meat in general, make sure to make a stop for the sweet sauces and the savory meals.
Fonda San Miguel – A formal Mexican food experience, they have wonderful wall art and even better dishes. Caldo Tlapeno, ensalada de espinacas, and angels on horseback are some of the best dishes I have had there, though anything on the menu is sure to be like a mini vacation for your tastebuds.
Juliet- Perhaps the youngest restaurant on this all-too-long list, it is truly fantastic italian food, really cool outdoor seating, pretty unique menu, nice place to go out or even just for upscale drinks, they are trying to cater for people who will go there for bar action and for old fashioned italian food like pizza and pasta, not inexpensive but it is on barton springs road so if you want to go there then go for a dip it is a nice location
Hopdoddy – Insanely long line 24/7. I have seen people standing in pouring rain for over 20 minutes to get inside. This means really good burgers and salads, nice space for seating indoors, not too fussy.
Homeslice – A total typical tourist stop, those in the know will direct you here. Inexpensive pizza on Congress, across from good live music, featured in many movies (The Chef anyone??) it is a staple for good pizza and better conversation on the street
Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge – by standing near this bridge, on it, or below it in a boat on the water, during summer and fall there is a very good chance to see hundreds of thousands of bats fly out. Truly magical.
Zilker Park – across the street from my dad's place, there is Zilker Park. Excellent swing set, trust me i've tested it. Wide open spaces for running around with dogs or small children plus a good skyline view of Austin.
Barton Springs – ah yes, the photo that keeps appearing on your twitter feed. A huge, stunning natural spring in the heart of Austin that they clean regularly it is perfect every time and a great place to grab a towel, a book, and to chill for the afternoon. Fun guaranteed (also if you forget food do not sweat it there is a snack stand across from where you buy tickets on the outside parking lot)! The water is chilly but I guarantee that it will be one of the best workouts. Ever.
Violet Crown Movie Theater – showing all the Bohemian and current movies your heart desires with excellent snacks and better prices. I recently saw Love & Mercy 🙂 Two locations, Santa Fe and Austin, only for those who truly know the city & now whomever reads this, happy movie going!
Travel Bug
As some of you may know, I recently returned from an adventure abroad. In the past five weeks I went to Texas, California, Greece, and Italy. My grand adventure, as I jokingly refer to it, was wonderful so expect some recap photos involving outfits, hair, and city guides coming up on the blog soon! Below are some of my favorite photos from my trips, with much more coming soon!

CMAJ • December 6, 2005
The public system of health care insurance that exists in Canada today was implemented nationally in 1968
and was greatly influenced by the 1964 Royal Commission on Health Services, headed by Justice Emmett Hall.
When, in his final report, Justice Hall described the evolution of health care in Canada, he made brief reference to a health insurance system that existed in the Glace Bay colliery district of Cape Breton. Known as the "Check-Off,"this was a mandatory system whereby deductions were made from miners' wages for a subscription to physician services, medications and hospital care. A reference to the Check-Off in minutes of the Nova Scotia Provincial Workmen's Association suggests that it dates from about 1883, although at least one other historical reference places its origin even earlier, in the mid-19th century. It proved to be a durable system, surviving in Cape Breton mining towns until 1969, when it was replaced by provincial medical insurance administered by Maritime Medical Care.
One of us (C.M.) was first introduced to the Check-Off system by a Halifax-based surgeon, Dr. Allan MacDonald,who had done some general practice locums in Glace Bay in the 1960s. He suggested an interview with Dr. Joe Roach, a veteran of the system, who at 83 was still seeing 11 000 to12 000 patients a year and doing regular house calls. In researching the Check-Off system and preparing a CBC Radio
documentary, C.M. gained information through recorded personal interviews with participants in the system, including patients, physicians, hospital administrators, politicians and union organizers. In this article, we convey the essence of the interviews; the unedited conversations can be accessed through the Dalhousie University Medical Humanities Webpage (www.library.dal.ca/kellogg/subjects/medhumanities/cbcheckoff/intro_cbcheckoff.htm).

Hey Gamenologers!
It has now been 1 year since we launched our website to the world. We are really proud to achieve one year of success. This would have never happened if it weren't for you guys. And we would like to thank you so much for being fans of our site.
Now that Gamenology is one year old, we have made some plans that will change Gamenology's future a little bit. Here's what we are going to do:
We are going to abandon the following services.
Techno Spotlight Playlist Recommendation Service
If you were following Gamenology since it's very beginning last year, you may already know that we have a YouTube Channel called Techno Spotlight. Our aim for this was to recommend videos using playlists which were made on our channel about various topics of Gaming and Technology. However, while the channel went well, most of the time we didn't update the channel at all with new videos and new playlists. Now keep in mind this was not due to laziness, it was the fact that the team were looking for new ways to recommend videos to you all. We all know that YouTube is primarily for sharing videos, not really for suggesting videos in playlists. And due to how social media became a big change in how we use the internet, we had realised that a good way to recommend YouTube videos was via Twitter.
When we launched our Twitter page back in March it became a sudden hit to the public. We got 10 followers in within 5 days and more people share videos using Twitter. That is why we are now announcing that we are going to abandon our YouTube Channel. While it was successful, with 34 subscribers as of this time of writing this post, we feel that Twitter is the way to go.
What's going to happen to the channel you may ask? You may be wondering if the channel will be deleted. That was our plan, but since we embedded some of our playlists in some of our older posts, we feel it would be wise to not shut down the channel, as the playlists would be deleted and the embeds on our older posts would be rendered useless. However, we are going to remove all public links to the channel, and adjusting some of the channel settings so you can still enjoy the content we recommended in the past.
As we said before, we feel that Twitter is the place for sharing so if you are looking for new videos suggested by us, please follow our Twitter @Gamenology1. Our Twitter is not only for videos, but for keeping up to date with tech news wherever you are.
We hope you are satisfied by this change. If you liked how we recommended videos in the past, we apologise for changing our mind, but Twitter is the best place for sharing content, and with so many readers around the world, it's very difficult to tailor content and services for everyone.
Now with that out of the way, we are also going to change how Gamenology will keep you up to date in the future.
WordPress and Twitter
In the beginning, when we launched our site, our aim is primarily keeping you up to date via this site. But as time went on, we didn't update you with posts we promised to post about, and other factors.
We are a small tech news site, hoping to get bigger and trust me, it was difficult keeping you up to date by writing long and lengthy posts. We started off by reblogging stuff from other sites, then wrote our own posts and promised to write some posts, when we haven't. We would like to apologise for not keeping you up to date and waiting forever for new posts, when we haven't. We know you guys were wanting for more, and the team tried to find time to write posts, when it turned out, it was difficult. So that's why we are announcing today a big change to this site.
Now don't worry, we are not going to shut it down or abandon it, but we have decided from now on this site will only post content that is considered important. For example E3 and other press conferences are important, as well as big phone announcements like the HTC One M8. Now where will we frequently keep you up to date with the latest tech and games?
You guessed it! Twitter!
As we all know, Twitter is for posting content in just a few words. And it has become one of the world's biggest social networking sites, with over a million tweets a day. You may have noticed when we launched our Tiwtter, we frequently updated you with great new content. It worked well for the team. So now we have decided that our primary source of keeping you up to date is Twitter. As news gets posted, we get informed more quicker than usual and update you as soon as possible. We hope that we will keep you up to date using Twitter most of the time, but at the same time, we will continue using this WordPress site to write important articles, as, we all know want to be updated all the time. You can keep up to date right now, just follow @Gamenology1 and prepare to be updated.
We hope you are satisfied by this change. If you prefer this site as our primary source, we apologise, but with such a small team, it's hard to write posts for every single thing.
And that is basically it! But before you stop reading this, we would like to say that we have reached over 1,500 views on this site, over 20 followers on Twitter, and over 30 subscribers on YouTube. And this would not be possible if it weren't for you guys. We would like to give a big thank you to all who followed this site, and we promise as time goes on, we will get even more better. Also we would like to thank WordPress. If it weren't for the amazing guys at WordPress, all this wouldn't be possible.
We have some more plans coming your way! Including the Gamenology app (which has been in the works for a very long time now) and Gamenology's presence on other social networks like Facebook and Google+. So stay tuned to this site, and our Twitter for our future plans.
That's basically it for this post! Again we would like to say Thank You for being fans of Gamenology and we hope to keep you up to date for the next few years.
Gamenology Team 🙂

Also, I got word today that my publisher is pretty much out of Desires of the Dead ARCs.
The good news: That means that DESIRES was highly requested.
The bad news: That means most reviewers will now have to wait until there are finished copies. Boo!
Unless, of course, I have a contest.
I totally think I should have a contest soon, don't you?
In other news, it was pointed out to me today that I blink a lot. Excessively, even. (Yes, mom, I was listening…I get it, I blink too much!)
Actually, I was the first one to bring it up after watching a video of myself, and my mom only confirmed what I already suspected: I am a super-blinker!

Iran and Germany mulled over ways for the further expansion of mutual business and commercial cooperation between the two sides.
Head of German Bayern Chamber of Commerce Peter Driessen and his deputy Stephanie Spinner Konig met with Head of Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA) Golamhossein Shafei and Vice President of Iran Chamber for International Affairs where the two sides discussed promotion of bilateral business ties between Iran and German economic sectors.
During the meeting, Shafei welcomed presence of representatives from Bayern and Bavaria states, and highlighted long term business relationship between the two countries in past decades.
"Iranian respectful behavior with Germens is an advantage to expand our bilateral ties, and Iran can play a pivotal role in establishing trilateral relationship with Germany and our neighbors in the region," he added.
"The large number of guests and traders from Germany in past few months in ICCIMA as well as today's participants is an evidence of their longing to enlarge our mutual relations" he continued.
During the meeting, Head of Bayern Chamber of Commerce Peter Driessen and his Deputy Stephanie Spinner Konig pointed to the rise of Germany's economic ties with European and other countries to achieve first status in exports, totaling 168 billion euro.
Driessen also referred to reopening professional training courses in Iran-Germany chamber, canceled in 2009, and enthusiasm of the chamber members to enlarge ties with Iranian traders and economic sectors in order to expand bilateral business relations.
Vice president of Iran Chamber in International Affairs Ali Akbar Farazi taking part in the meeting said, "Participating in exhibitions and use of research and educational capabilities must be preliminary step for both sides".
Iran's geopolitical and geographical position in the region, skilled experts, energy resources and friendly relation with neighbors suggest advantages in making investment in variable Iranian economic sectors, he said, adding, "We expect a considerable exchange of both countries' traders in order to facilitate our mutual trading relations."
Traders and a group of economic and business experts of Iran and German Bayern and Bavaria States explored potentials of the two sides for maturing commercial cooperation as well.

BERKHAMSTED, England, June 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ –
– CIMS V7.6 Delivers 80 New Enhancements to Prologic's Integrated System for the Fashion & Lifestyle Sector
Fashion business systems provider, Prologic, has announced the latest release of CIMS, the integrated-channel software for fashion & lifestyle companies. CIMS V7.6 includes over 80 new enhancements to the core CIMS system. Examples of important new capabilities include:
– Major extensions to CIMS channel capabilities with new sub-channel structures – Channel calculations and prioritisation down to warehouse bin level – New SOA/XML infrastructure to deliver modular business services – Transparent stock visibility at unit, pack, carton and pallet level – Extensions to CIMS Cube reporting to deliver world class data aggregation
Early adopters of CIMS V7.6 include Ted Baker, Paul Smith and Turner Bianca.
Sam Jackson, Chief Executive of Prologic, says, "CIMS is specifically designed to help fashion & lifestyle companies adapt quickly and cost effectively to new business opportunities, whilst maintaining strong control over processes and operations. With CIMS V7.6 we are releasing over 80 new enhancements, all of which are relevant to the fashion sector."
Commenting on the benefits of using a single version, single database product such as Prologic CIMS, Jackson explains, "The implementation of centralised information systems and integrated business processes has helped many of our customers to be more successful and to leap ahead of their peers. Whether you retail through your own stores, franchise, wholesale, or sell through mail order or the web, CIMS can manage every aspect of your business operation, from merchandise planning, through supply chain management to the point of sale and the consumer website. All delivered as a single integrated whole."
The Prologic CIMS model is based on responsive and continuous improvement to a single version, single database product. Because all Prologic customers operate within the fashion & lifestyle sector, functional improvements are of value to most customers.

Miller's Corner Café on Cloud 9 with Pioneer and POS on Cloud
October 2014 – In eastern Kentucky near the Cumberland Plateau in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, there is a small town called Jackson that over 2,200 people call home. Jackson is the proud home of Tim Miller, Founder of Miller's Corner Café that recently opened just west of the central business district. Miller's Corner Café is unique in that it is a café that serves coffee, and baked goods, but also serves as a deli. From reading the restaurant reviews, Miller's lattes, breads, baked goods, are just as famous as their pulled pork and Rueben sandwiches that seem to be some of the best in all of Kentucky. After just a few months of their opening this past summer, they already have over 1,200 likes on Facebook; all they need is a 1,000 more and sounds like the entirety of Breathitt County will be fans of Miller's!
Miller's was looking for a POS and merchant services solution that would be easy to install and service to support for their new opening. William C. Berry, Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at Louisville, KY-based POS on Cloud said that, "Miller's was looking for a cloud-based, state of the art POS solution which would allow him access to reporting, analytics, and the ability to monitor the business even when he was not in the café. To fulfill both the needs of a complete POS solution and a merchant services provider, POS on Cloud and Pioneer's S-Line terminals was the logical choice." POS on Cloud's QSR and merchant solution immediately paid dividends for Miller's Corner Café. From the start, both productivity and profitability have been easily maintained in that the POS on Cloud software is highly configurable, and personalized to the specific requirements for Miller's POS system. The POS on Cloud software for QSR "offers in-depth modifiers, so you can set up your menu into the system with as little or as many modifiers as you choose for an item." William said that, "Tim was also looking for something affordable and subscription based, so that he did not have a long term agreement for both POS and merchant services." With the Pioneer POS S-Line terminal and the POS on Cloud solution, William said that it not only met but exceeded expectations.
With the Pioneer POS S-Line, replacing the paper is easy and works like a standard thermal printer. It allows the printer to be replaced in a matter of minutes without affecting the entire system (watch video). The S-Line (also available in the New Infinity model with a True Flat-zero bezel touch, powered by Intel's 4th Generation Core series) is an all-in-one design and integrates the EPSON® thermal receipt printer into a touchcomputer. The S-Lines compact design allows easy setup and saves much-needed counter space and reduces cable clutter. The S-Line loads the most commonly used paper size: 80mm (3 1/8″) wide by 80mm (3 1/8″) diameter and the printer prints at 250mm (9.8″), and has an auto-cutter which helps reduce paper jams. With POS on Cloud QSR software installed on the S-Line, Miller's Corner Café employees can add dollar amounts for up-charges and can increase the speed of entry by allowing servers to tap modifiers on any item. POS on Cloud also offers a 'Clouds Sales Trend Analysis View' of sales trends in any time frame, making for a seamless solution for the reporting and analytics that Miller's was looking for. Menu performance can also be monitored for inventory management so menu items can be added or removed, to keep them bestselling items top of mind for customers. William also added that, "Motorola, and APG hardware components were also used along with the Pioneer POS S-Line, and Cynergy Data-Priority Payments was the merchant provider with SureGate as the gateway."
William concluded that "Miller's employees were up in running in only two hours, with training taking half of that. They went live the minute they were ready." Pioneer POS is the best in the industry for quick configuration of custom touch screen systems that can meet any application. With satisfied customers across eastern Kentucky and over 1,200 Facebook likes later, it can truly be said that Pioneer POS and POS on Cloud have put Mr. Miller and his Miller's Corner Café officially on cloud nine! In terms of hardware dependability and software flexibility of their POS system, Tim now has the access he was looking for from anywhere at any time.

Hometown entrepreneurs: Moyer Mowing
"If you're cold, you're not working hard enough," is Joseph Moyer's motto as he does snow removal work each winter on anything and everything from residential sidewalks to commercial lots.
"You name it; I do it," said Moyer.
He also offers mowing, tree trimming, dump trailer, shrub trimming and landscape maintenance service during the warmer months as part of his Moyer Mowing businesses—and holds down a part-time job on the side.
His brother and a buddy plow with him as they take on the snow throughout Butler and Bremer counties with snow blowers, three pickup trucks with blades and old fashioned shovels.

In a medium skillet or saute pan combine the turmeric, chiles, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cloves, ginger, garlic powder, mustard seeds, pepper, allspice, and cinnamon and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until spices are fragrant and just beginning to smoke. Remove from the heat, transfer to a shallow plate and allow to cool completely. Transfer to a coffee grinder or spice mill and process until very finely ground. Reserve 6 tablespoons of the spice mixture separately and transfer the remainder to an airtight container and save for another purpose.
In a mixing bowl combine the shrimp, 2 tablespoons of the curry powder, 1 teaspoon of the salt and 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and set aside, covered, for 20 minutes.
In a large Dutch oven, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and, when hot, add the shrimp and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a platter or heatproof bowl and set aside. Add the onion, garlic, ginger, thyme, Thai chiles and remaining 4 tablespoons curry powder and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, tomatoes, and brown sugar and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining teaspoon of salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 45 minutes. Stir in the shrimp, fish sauce, and cilantro and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Serve the shrimp and sauce ladled into the center of shallow wide-rimmed bowls, garnished with hot cooked basmati rice.

Oversharing on LinkedIn? You Could Be Hurting Your Job Search
LinkedIn—that all-purpose gathering place for professionals, recruiters, and employers—allows you to converse with like-minded experts in your field, learn about industry-specific topics and events, post resume information, and send private messages to employers in hopes of securing that perfect job.
However, if you're divulging too-personal details, or letting others have uncomfortably close insight into your job search, it can take longer to find a suitable job, or you can be blacklisted entirely by recruiters.
If you've started to confuse LinkedIn connections for your Facebook friends, it's time to take a step back and consider whether you're harming your job search.
Here are signs that you're wading too deep into personal territory on LinkedIn:
Posting negative comments about your job search in a LinkedIn Group.
While it's perfectly normal to be frustrated with a job search that's taking too long, LinkedIn is not the place to blow off steam about prospective employers, HR contacts, or recruiters.
Yet, you can peruse Groups forums and find this type of activity nearly every day, with disgruntled professionals posting information about negative exchanges with employers, and the occasional rant against a particular hiring manager.
It may seem as if Group communities are locked down, but the reality is different: many Group leaders allow their forums to be visible to all LinkedIn users.
In other words, nearly everyone on LinkedIn (and that means practically anyone interested in hiring you!), can read what you've said… and use it against you in a job search.
Therefore, you'll benefit from limiting your Group Q&A to either lively feedback on professional concerns facing your industry (a great way to become well-known), or innocuous feedback on most other issues.
Issuing Status Updates that are unrelated to your professional image.
One of the best ways to "promote" your professional standing, LinkedIn Status Updates are a great opportunity to publicize professional achievements.
However, this stream of activity is sometimes mistaken for Twitter, where notices are constantly posted that are of minimal news value to readers (such as weather updates or notes on what restaurant to frequent).
What you may not realize is that a Status Update stays on your Profile in a semi-permanent fashion – making last week's comment on the Presidential race this week's advertisement of your political affiliation.
Here's how it works: Updates are shown in a headline fashion to viewers of your Profile, scrolling through in what looks like a transient fashion for about a week, or until another update has been issued. They are then relegated to a news feed shown in another area of your Profile.
So, how should you use Status Updates in a job search? Instead of viewing them as the equivalent of a conversation, think of this feature as a way to make a proclamation related to your professional life.
Your Updates could include comments on a book you've read related to your industry, a note on a professional conference you plan to attend, or information on your latest career win (such as a promotion).
The overall idea with a Status Update is to enhance others' perceptions of what interests you professionally… with the advantage of displaying it on your Profile for visitors to see.
Using LinkedIn Answers for confidential job search, popular media, or other personal queries.
LinkedIn Answers forums are a great resource for nearly any professional Q&A. Not only can you issue questions on a specific topic, but the Advanced Answers Search function allows you to browse all of the Answers history based on keywords.
What you should know about Answers: all queries and responses are both 100% public, and also indexed by Google.
This means your off-the-cuff answer to a pop media quiz (or details about how you hated your last boss) can quickly come to light with a Google search on your name. An examination of your LinkedIn Profile will turn up the same information (even weeks later), as your Answers activity is recorded there for viewing.
Keep your Answers activity on LinkedIn as clean and professional as possible, avoiding the opportunity to initiate or participate in activity that:
- Divulges a confidential job search
- Reveals issues with your job hunt (such as fearing a reprimand from your boss)
- Brings forth job search concerns with a reference or past employer
- Shows that you're engaged in using the site during work hours
- Discloses religious, social, or political preferences
In summary, don't be fooled by the "social" part of social media during your job search. Letting your guard down, with too-personal details shared online, can put a quick halt to your success – before you even make it to the interview.
Instead, leverage LinkedIn as a tool to deliver a clean, polished, and professional brand image – ready for close examination by hiring managers.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) --The 79-year-old man accused of plowing through a traffic stop and running over a Houston police officer made his first court appearance Thursday.
Robert Zimmerman is charged with intoxication assault of a public servant for allegedly hitting Officer Nestor Garcia.
According to court documents, Zimmerman told officers he drank one 24-ounce beer around 5:00 p.m. Tuesday evening, around the same time he had dinner.
The documents also show Zimmerman claims he takes a heart medication and a sleeping pill but was unable to remember the names. He also told investigators he hadn't taken the sleeping medication since Monday night, according to the report.
The crash happened just after 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Investigators are waiting for toxicology results to determine whether he was impaired at the time of the crash.
A prosecutor who specializes in vehicular crimes said Zimmerman was slurring his speech and seemed "detached" from the whole situation.
Prosecutors say Zimmerman passed his breathalyzer test but failed other field sobriety tests.
ABC13 asked if Zimmerman even realized he hit someone and Prosecutor Sean Teare said that's unclear.
"Whether it's prescription medication, whether it's illicit drugs, we just don't know yet. We have to wait on the toxicology to determine the specific type. In general though, it does not matter whether it's a prescription drug, illicit drug, alcohol, if you are intoxicated and you get behind the wheel, we're going to prosecute you," said Teare.
Court records say Zimmerman believed police cars passed him when investigators say Officer Garcia and two other patrol units were stopped.
Zimmerman has posted $30,000 bond and is being processed right now before being released.
Prosecutors have petitioned for the judge to raise it to $100,000.
Officer Garcia is in critical, but stable condition.
Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo is urging anyone interested in donating blood to help Officer Garcia to do so using the code 1879CH31.
Follow Courtney Fischer on Twitter and Facebook.
If you donate blood @commitforlife on behalf of @houstonpolice Officer Nestor Garcia please refer to code 1879CH31. Thanks for your support.— Chief Art Acevedo (@ArtAcevedo) September 28, 2017

Today, on Wednesday, the 19th of July, in Donetsk there took place a meeting between the media and a team of cynologists specializing in the search of bombs, explosive devices and mines. The meeting was organised in one of Donetsk schools in Kuybishevski district located in the north of Donetsk.
The symbiosis between the members making up this canine team seems to be a perfect match. The accordance and the professionalism immediately caught my sight during our meeting with this unity of man and animal.
As soon as the introduction was done, the duties could be performed. The canine team examined Donetsk school № 64 for a routine search of bombs.
Having searched the inner school yard, the team undertook the task in one of the classrooms.
Once the inspection of the classroom was finished, we made our way towards Leninskiy district which is located in the south of the city.
This time the duties were focused on the search of mines and explosive devices placed on the road curbs, and the team looked for the devices that can turn out to be particularly dangerous during their explosion.
Two guardians of the day: as committed as professionals.
How many lives were saved yesterday, how many today and how many will be saved tomorrow thanks to their work? I also want to pay tribute to this team which combines the animal's flair with the composure and professionalism of the man in the search of deadly devices laid…by other men.To both finish and underline the incredible work being carried out by the teams that search for the mines and do the mine clearing in Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) the following should be mentioned: in the period from Saturday, July, 8th to Friday, July, 14th they have neutralized 723 explosive devices (mines, bombs, etc.) ! DAN NEWS
Here is a small video about this day in the company of this incredible team

EXE files are self-extracting archives produced by the WINZIP file archival tool which packages one or more files into a single smaller file suitable for downloading.
Unlike ZIP files which require the user to install the WINZIP program on their machine, self-extracting archives can be downloaded and used without WINZIP. However, EXE files can only be used with Microsoft Windows (95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, etc.). Simply download the file and run it on your computer and it will automatically uncompress the files contained within the self-extracting archive and place them in the correct location on your computer.

I first heard of "Clothing Swap Parties" through my friend Holly who is a Professional Organizer and is very Environmentally conscience. I thought what a great idea! Its a win-win situation all the way around!
Swapping clothes you don't wear anymore with your friends!
- make more space in your closet
- get rid of stuff
- get new outfits for FREE
- meet new friends
- save the planet by not over consuming
- donate leftovers to Women's Shelter
- ________????(still can't find any)
To be fair, I brought Monopoly money and gave each girl a fake dollar for every piece of item they brought and two fake dollars for every pair of shoes they brought.
Each girl got a number, and when their number was called they had 5 minutes to "buy" something from our makeshift "store".
You don't know how good it felt to "shop" and not spend real money! I got so many cute things that I use to this day! A gorgeous pair of orange Bebe shoes, a pair of Capri jeans I wear almost every weekend, a Fab Shirt that goes with EVERYTHING, and I even scored a real Louis Vuitton bag that my cousin brought because she was bored with it! Whooo Hooo!
And the best part? After all the girls spent their "money", we put all the leftover Clothing Items in huge bags and my Designer friend Erica Islas took it to the Good Shepard Center for Homeless Women and Children. They event sent me the Thank You letter below that I keep pinned near my Desk.
Whether you live in Santa Monica, Paris, or South America, I encourage you to have your own Clothing Swap Party and donate all leftovers to a local charity. And if you live in Los Angeles, come to mine! Its happening Oct. 9th. just RSVP on the link below!
Our official FB invitation for the CLothing Swap Party
*And if you are not comfortable using other peoples clothes... puuuuhlease... you can always give it a good wash or dry clean. When you buy "new" clothes do you really think your the first person that's tried it on? Just sayin.

With school starting, many of us are challenged by tight budgets and the need to swap out our summer decorations for fall inspired creations. With these paper mache bowls you can upscale any space and still keep pennies in the bank. These bowls are excellent creations for tablescapes, storage solutions, or decorative side pieces. By adding a little paint you can make the perfect accent for any season!
Water for paste
Craft Paint
Spray Sealer (Recommended, but optional!)
Kitchen bowl as form
Plastic Wrap
1) Cover the bottom of the bowl you have chosen with plastic wrap, and wrap it over the rim. Make a paste of flour and water until it is the consistency of pudding. Tear up small pieces of newspaper or other recycled paper from your home.
2) Dip the paper into the paste and apply a layer to the outside of the bowl. Build up the layer until the plastic wrap is completely covered. Let dry overnight. Repeat until you have several layers for strength. Let dry. Remove from the bowl form and remove the plastic wrap.
3) Use scissors to cut a clean edge around the rim of your paper mache bowl. Consider using a primer on the bowl first to block out any print or colors. Let dry. Paint with craft paints in your chosen colors. Don't forget to consider metallic paints, a different color for the inside and outside of the bowl, or to add pattern. You can stamp and stencil, create freehand designs, or print a word around the rim that carries meaning for you. Use your creativity and dress it up to the style of your home!
4) Spray finished bowls with a sealer you can pick up at any craft store.
5) Now fill your bowl and enjoy years of decorative style you can be proud of! Don't forget to experiment with different types of paper, adding paint to the glue, using white tissue paper, or using a faux stone paint finish. Let your creativity run wild. If you don't like it, repaint it!

Photography drones are traditionally designed for one specific kind of camera or payload, but the DJI M600 is intended to help provide a modular aesthetic. Rather than simply featuring a section to affix a camera, the DJI M600 is capable of being customized to suit different equipment.
Designed with filmmakers and those in the industrial field, the DJI M600 drone can support a variety of different gimbals. The drone features an extended flight time with long range transmission to boot, which allows HD content to be streamed back with ease.
The photography drones market is seeing a number of expansions with units being outfitted with better cameras and other recording equipment. However, the DJI M600 shows how brands might be evolving to the preferences of consumers to use their own equipment on their own terms.
