Else Zinkeisen
(born 1871 Hamburg)
German woodblock printmaker.
(I): River Elbe
Today, again, an Ebay induced posting on a printmaker I'd never heard of before leading to some great discoveries and other fine artists. This above "Boote bei Sonnenuntergang" (Boats at sunset) undoubtedly are sailing in the Elbe estuary and came up for auction recently.
"Fischer Boote auf der Elbe" and "Wolken über der Elbe".
Other than the fact Else Zinkeisen was taught privately until 1899 and that she has been a member of the "Heikendorfer Künstlerkolonie" my research turned up absolutely nothing. But luckily a small but fine collection of her prints is kept in the "Künstlermuseum Heikendorf" at the Kieler Förde.
Left: Else Zinkeisen, Right: Oscar Droege, (same?) dwellings along river Elbe.
The Kieler Förde, an inlet of the Baltic sea, North West of Hamburg in Germany's most Northern and beautiful province of Schleswick-Holstein. Sheltered and strategically situated along the busy trade route between North-Western Europe, Scandinavia, Denmark and the Baltic States. Not one of these prints I could locate outside this Museum: a well hidden treasure of prints of what has to be one of the earliest German Modern Printmakers.
The Elbe River downstream North of Hamburg seen from the Ice-age,
glacier formed East bank ridge by Friedrich Kallmorgen (1856-1924)

Man made Elbe dikes by painter Friedrich Wilhelm Schwinge (1852-1913)
The artist colony sprang up in the 1920's around the house and studio of painter Heinrich Blunk (1891-1963) and it is one of the very few buildings remaining after WWII devastations. Kiel and its surroundings, like Hamburg in 1943, was almost completely destroyed by allied bombs because of its marine and submarine bases. The artists' studios are gone but the House and Gardens survived, now housing the Museum.
Where we meet another great member of the colony: Oscar Droege (1898-1983) also born in Hamburg (but 25 years after Else Zinkeisen) and perhaps Germany's most famous and certainly most prolific printmaker. Many of his (I count over a 100) prints featuring Hamburg and the river Elbe.
Painter Georg Burmester (1864-1936) was among them, very much influenced by Vincent van Gogh and later to become a professor in Kassel art academie. He painted the surrounding Schleswick land- and seascapes
Along the North German coast, to the East the sister "Niddener Künstkolonie" thrived. You can find similar prints of typical Baltic fishing and trading boats by members Margarethe (L.E.M.) Gerhardt (1873-) and Daniel Stachsus (1872-1953). Max Pechstein and Lovis Corinth lived there.
This print by Else Zinkeisen is showing river fishing boats in the small tranquil village and fishing port of Altweder. Just opposite, on the other (West) side of river Elbe, of the mighty city of Hamburg. And situated in a wonderful ancient and rural landscape. Below a photograph from about the time Else was there.
A situation painted (below) by Friedrich Wilhelm Schwinge (1852-1913), my favorite painter of the Frisian and Schleswick landscape (see also above).
And as it was recorded in one of the very last moments of it's existence (above) on photo. The fate that struck the village of Altweder has frightful similarities with the Dutch village of Blankenberg (50 years before) I wrote about in my earlier posting: Blankenburg (link). It's the inevitabillity of progress: it can't be stopped. It's all gone. Forever.
The Scottish sisters and artists Anna and Doris Zinkeisen are not (directly) related to Else. Anna Zinkeisen who designed several London Underground posters in the 1920-30's and her Scottish family of timber traders have a 200 year Scottish history leading back to Silesian ancestry.
Next: some more prints and history by Else Zinkeisen.

Was an interesting weekend... Original plan was to go on an unofficial company/work department desert trip but due to some complications it got cancelled, backup plan was to go climb Mt. Sinai/St. Catherine Mountain in the Sinai Peninsula... But then Thursday night Dave called me up to see if I was up for a overnight camping trip on the bikes with some others in 4x4s.... Sounds like a plan. I can basically go climb St. Catherine any weekend alone, but I cant go out into the desert on the motorcycle alone; to risky even with the satellite phone.
The Jeep sad because she was not going to get to play in the sand! [Note how clean the Jeep is.. For the work trip... Before that with all the rain it was more of a brown color! :) ]
All loaded up in Dave's truck!
Its been more than a month since I have gone on a proper motorcycle trip (due to all the travel, so its not that bad)... But I really have missed the desert and the bike! In this trip we went to a familiar area but took a different and very beautiful path.
Mid trip... Up on an escarpment after playing in those dunes for a while.
The next place we stopped at is what made this trip extra memorable! Steve took us to the side of a mountain where he has found lots of shark teeth fossils in the past. Yup, that's right, shark teeth in the desert. In one of my previous blog entries; mid post I talk about a visit to a whale cemetery. In short the whole desert use to be underwater and that's why there are shells, whale and other marine fossils!
I must admit, Steve found almost all of these fossils... It was Steve, Phill and me looking for shark teeth for like 45 min and the record ended up being 12, 0, 2. Steve has more practice then we had! I was in my moto gear with knee pads and elbow pads... After a while of not finding anything I was crawling almost kissing the ground... Steve was just walking slightly bent!
After a long day of riding we made it to camp!
For dinner Sarah cooked a delicious chicken curry! (Mark was missing in action with back pain, may have been a good thing for the cooking part)
After sun rise we had a really really good breakfast! Lets just say it was better than my everyday cereal and better then on the weekends when I make eggs!! Thanks Steve and Pam!
Sausage and bacon imported from the UK, beans, mushrooms, bread and fried eggs!
The rest of the crew headed out for a few more hours of playing in the desert and Dave and I headed back towards Cairo...
Great weekend!

I Am a Happy Reader
"You are always in the right place at exactly the right time, and you always have been."
I have been in (an artistic) love with Ethan Hawke since I was in high school back in the late '90s and I saw him starring in "Great Expectations", an adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel. I followed his artistic career with the steady care of someone who wants to discover if Ethan Hawke was more than a pretty face. And he definitely is more than that. He is an extraordinary actor, getting better and better with each part and each year passing by, but he is also a fantastic writer. He is the proof that you can be a Hollywood star and still go beyond the shallowness of it all by writing.
He can act in thrillers, romantic or horror movies and impress me deeply. He is my favorite Hamlet (2000) and Snow Falling on Cedars (1999) is among my all time favorite movies.
"Like a dead branch falling from a tree, which them decomposes and nourishes the soil, your disappointments can transform into the elements of change and growth."
A few years ago I read his Ash Wednesday and the novel came as a shock of how well he can write about love, marriage and the intricacies they imply.
On the same note, last year in November he launched his "Rules for a Knight", a small book full of pieces of advice and wisdom about how to raise your children in an authentic way and what lessons you should teach them. I received the (signed) book in January and I really loved it. So simple, yet so true, just as any serious matter of life... and finally, death, and what happens in-between.
Here is Ethan talking about his book:

VolkerWessels Bouw & Vastgoedontwikkeling
Utrecht, The Netherlands
Ca. 70,000 m² (80,000 m² max, with extension)
2-level plinth, above which 6 office and 3 laboratory levels face each other
ca. 21,000 m²
New headquarters for two research institutes – National Institute for Public Health and Environment (Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu - RIVM) and the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board (College ter Beoordeling van Geneesmiddelen - CBG)
PPS Tender Entry
For the design the New Headquarters of RIVM/CBG (National Institute for Public Health and Environment and Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board) UNStudio joined the Consortium I2O (In Omnibus Omnia), formed by Volker Wessels and Facilicom. Following the prescribed PPS-procedure (Private-Public Partnership), the task of the Consortium was to design, build and maintain the property for 25 years.
RIVM/CBG seek to establish the two organisations on the Uithof in Utrecht, as a part of an open research, knowledge and academic network within the Utrecht Science Park (USP). The aim of this integration is to allow for a synergy of universities, educational institutions, research institutes and knowledge intensive companies, as a critical success factor for a climate of knowledge development and knowledge sharing.
The 'Cross' design model proposed would bring together the offices and laboratories into a unified and functional whole, with direct visual connectivity. 'Atrium streets' are introduced which converge in the middle of the 'cross', where a 6-storey, spacious central hall is located. This hall is a public, indoor square, a communal core that binds together the four wings of the building visually, organisationally and in terms of circulation. Within the atrium streets, communication is promoted through bridges which connect between the office and the lab wings. The efficiency of this model lies in the shortened travel distance from the central point to the wing ends, which is reflected also in an optimised maintenance solution.
The plinth volume and the volumes above it are bound together by a continuous white framing, which accentuates the programmatic expression of the building, as well as its reading from the outside. The framing is filled with different kinds of 'infills' – facade elements which correspond to various programmatic requirements and sun orientation. The laboratory and office facades comprise a number of window components, optimised to respond to heat gain and solar intake conditions. Public programmes within the plinth have more transparent glass facades, whereas the logistical functions are situated behind a fence facade.
The New RIVM uses the Cross design model, as well as the facade framing strategy as the 'big details' of the building – key design concepts which orchestrate building performance, both to the users inside, as well as the passer-by at Uithof. The Big detail has the ambition of a highest-rank sustainable strategy, due to its focus on absorbing complex functionalities (spatial, organisational, material, energetic) into a single, multifaceted and effective approach, thus re-defining sustainability as architectural efficiency across all of its conclusive parts.

Imagine this, you are out for the afternoon and notice that your cell phone is almost out of battery. You look around and find a public charging kiosk, where you are able to plug in via USB for a quick top up. Unfortunately this time you fall victim to a "Juice Jacking" attack, which easily compromises your phone. "Juice Jacking" as it is known is made possible as both data and power transmit on the same cable, and by injecting an arbitrary app into an iOS device (up to and including iOS6) through a USB cable (connected to a custom malicious charger or docking station), it is possible for a hacker to gain access to your phone.
This attack vector may come up more often than people presume, as in this age, where business executives travel regularly and depend on access to their phones to respond to emails, check their schedule, and basic work functionality. It has also caused panic amongst organizations using iOS devices causing internal policies being updated stating "Employees are now required to bring power cables and/or extra batteries on travel. In addition, the use of public charging kiosks and are no longer permitted.
Currently, iOS is considered to be more secure than other mobile operating systems, based on security mechanisms including mandatory code signing, app sandboxing, and a centralized app store. The problem here is that Apple has not implemented a means to deny a USB pairing request which is requested when the device is plugged in via USB. Once the unlocked device is plugged into a malicious device it is presented with access to a significant amount of personal data and without the user's permission and can also install hidden malicious software on the device in the same way Apple hides its own built in applications. From here any host that understands the proprietary RPC communications protocol such as the one used by iTunes to communicate with the iOS device can directly query or modify the state of the client. Worst of all, iOS device prior to an including iOS6 are vulnerable as this attack does not require a jailbroken device, or interaction from the user.
The safest way for charging your device is to use the Apple USB cable and power adapter supplied with the device or purchased directly from Apple. There are also battery-powered mobile USB chargers which also work well. If you must use a random charging kiosk, the safest option may be to completely turn off your device prior to plugging it in. The best defense against a compromised mobile device is user awareness. Keep your device charged, disable features not in use and turn down the screen brightness so the batter will last long and also enable the security features provided by the operating system. Avoid plugging your device into unknown charging stations and computers, the same way you avoid opening attachments from people you do not know.

WASHINGTON — As more becomes known about Western participation in the laundering of Russian money, the Washington establishment will likely try to hide behind stories of faraway organized crime and distance itself from any culpability.
But U.S. policy toward Russia has contributed to that country's sorry conditions. Russian "reformers," including many under investigation for allegedly laundering billions of dollars through the Bank of New York, have long been embraced by the Clinton administration and international financial institutions. Among them are current and former members of Russian President Boris N. Yeltsin's government, to which the West pinned its hopes for a new relationship with Moscow and entrusted hundreds of millions of dollars in aid. For years, despite accounts of massive capital flight, money laundering and Russians buying up the French Riviera, the money kept flowing. Yet, no Russian dollar can be deposited in a Western bank account without the knowledge and participation of a Western institution. As former Russian Prime Minister Viktor S. Chernomyrdin, who is accused of corruption, recently asked: "What has suddenly made them [the Americans] wake up?"
Among those under investigation in the West for money laundering is longtime Yeltsin aide Anatoly B. Chubais, the chief architect of Russia's economic reforms. While under investigation in Russia for matters ranging from suspect banking deals to bribery, Chubais and his clique of political and financial power brokers, known as the "Chubais clan," were the darlings of the U.S. Treasury and international financial institutions. With Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers the key architect of U.S. economic policy toward Russia since 1993, the administration gave the Chubais clan much control over hundreds of million of dollars in aid.

St. Anns Beach is awash with color.
Three murals have been painted on the beach-facing walls by three different artists. All are seascapes.
The most recent and colorful, clear-coated to preserve it vibrancy, was painted by Roy Gonzalez. It cascades down the hillside on a Laguna Riviera Hotel wall and features caricatures of locals and surfing celebrities.
"I worked for eight months on the mural, but I still have to add Red Locks, a Reggae musician that Laguna Beach loved, and legendary lifeguard Dean Westgaard," Gonzalez said. "But I had to come up for air. I was a slave to that wall."
Already pictured are the Laguna Greeter, Eiler Larsen; national champion surfer Jack Denny; rock 'n' roll musician and surfer Joe Petrovich, a regular at the Sand Piper; big wave surfer Peanut Larsen, who used to babysit Dick Metz, worldwide promoter of Hobie surfboards; skimboarder Max Caputo, tragically killed by a hit and run driver on Coast Highway; and Harry Willats, shown on a raft.
Willats was one of the "orrible arries," a trio of community activist that included The Cottage owner Harry Moon and Mr. Laguna, Harry Lawrence, all now deceased.
Willats bought the Laguna Riviera Hotel in the 1930s when it was a barn, said his great grandson, Kris Pearson, who is manager at the hotel. Kris' father, Kort, is the current owner.
He plans to have a formal unveiling of the mural later this year.
"People are always painting, but it isn't always artistic," said the elder Pearson.
Gonzalez and Pearson met through a mutual friend last year. They worked out an arrangement for the mural.
"I had done murals before in Hawaii and Costa Rica, but never one close to home," Gonzalez said. "I said give me a place to stay and I'll paint it."
He virtually lived at the hotel while working on the mural.
Gonzalez has kicked around a lot since he was born in 1960 in Los Angeles.
"My Mexican father was in the Coast Guard and he stole my mother from Ireland," said Gonzalez, the only boy of the couple's six children.
The family moved to Orange County, and Gonzalez graduated in 1979 from San Clemente High School, where he was on the surfing team.
"I was the first national champion," Gonzalez said.
He was also a budding artist.
In 1978, Gonzalez went to Peru as a member of the National Scholarship Assn. team and there he met Laguna's Bruce Hopping.
"Bruce called us pioneers," Gonzalez said.
He is a vocal supporter at virtually every City Council meeting of sports, figurative art and Laguna's reputation as an art colony and home to the Victoria Skimboard and Brooks Street Surfing competitions.
"Roy's mural relates to the history of Laguna Beach and its identity as an art colony," Hopping said.
Gonzalez said his art has always been related to surfing. Those are his loves, art and surfing.
However, between surfing and a hospital stay, Gonzalez missed a lot of school, and that could have cost him a scholarship. But a
fellow high school student submitted Gonzalez' work to Color It Orange, the annual countywide student art competition.
"I won a scholarship to the Laguna School of Art (precursor to Laguna College of Art & Design)," said Gonzalez. "But a month after I started, the school burned down."
Gonzalez took off for Hawaii but returned to San Clemente. He opened the Surf Spot in the 1980s.
"I was doing skateboard and surf art and I began making more money off of my art than the shop," said Gonzalez. "Since then, I have pretty much been freelance."
Gonzalez' mural couldn't be more different from the one painted at sand level by Loren Hellige, better known as Loren Shaw, in Laguna, where she lived for 20 years.
Hellige's mural, sponsored by the hotel, has a softer palette and more delicate representation of sea life.
"I started it in 1998 and it never gets finished," said Hellige. "It always needs touching up."
That's OK. She is back in Laguna every year to paint murals for Patch Cunningham's toe ring booth at the Sawdust Festival.
"He has a different theme every year," Hellige said. "This year is was Leonardo Toe Vinci.
Hellige's work can also be seen in the hotel's interior.
Her paintings hang in guest rooms. Three murals originally created for Cunningham can be seen in the hotel game room.
The third mural at St. Ann's beach, along the steps to the beach, was attributed by Hopping to Dennis McTighe. Attempts to contact McTighe for conformation were unsuccessful.
OUR LAGUNA is a regular feature of the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot. Contributions are welcomed. Call 1 (714) 966-4608 or email@example.com with Attn. Barbara Diamond in the subject line.
[For the record, 5:47 p.m. Aug. 16: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated in the photo caption that the artist's name was Ray Gonzales. It should read: A mural painted by Roy Gonzalez on Laguna Riviera Hotel.

This week we're featuring Cory Williams very popular YouTube video "Hey Little Sparta" (aka "The Mean Kitty Song"). It has it all; neat visuals, a catchy tune and a photogenic and energetic house cat.
This video, and some subsequent ones made by Cory, were so popular, he created Mean Kitty's own YouTube video channel (just like the Pope!). You can find the channel by clicking here.
When I was at the PAWS-Chicago spay-neuter clinic last Saturday, Yvette Pina (another person who helps people with Feral Cats - be sure to check out her story about the "Convent Kitties") told me that Sparta was Feluk positive (i.e., Sparta had feline leukemia). I checked this out and it is unfortunately true. If you visit the Mean Kitty channel, you'll see this update about Sparta:
UPDATE JANUARY 14th 2009:
Some of you may be wondering why I haven't released a Mean Kitty video in a while, but I wasn't ready to announce why publicly until I knew for sure what was happening to him. Sparta has been limping for a bit over a month and after many visits to the vet, they found out why. He tested positive for leukemia. We're not sure what is causing the limping, but we do know that joint issues can be caused by the virus. He doesn't seem to be showing pain and he is just as playful as he has always been, so we're not going to show any sadness. Love and comfort is the best remedy and we are working with the doctors to find long term solutions to keep him healthy.
So, let's all hope for the best for Sparta and, without further ado, here is the "Hey Little Sparta" video:

Dear Students and Friends,
This week is my birthday and I turn 43 on Wednesday. I remember when I first began studying yoga in February of 1997 I was 27 and living in what I remember during the winter we called the frozen tundra or woods of Dingman's Ferry Pennsylvania where I owned my first home. I was a young mother who had fallen ill during an important time as I was only married 3 years, we had an active 2 yr old son, I had a full time demanding career in health care administration and I was the caretaker to an ailing parent whom lived with me. I had very little time to myself, let alone time to fall sick. The Doctors could not find out why I was passing out and fainting all over, or why I was so weak. I would wake up on the bathroom floor with no idea just blacking out, it was very scary for me. My blood cells were not reproducing fast enough and so a lot of traveling around the country to different Doctors and hospitals and testing and stress evolved during that time. Turns out in the end that I had a not so common blood disorder VonWillebrands disease and also Sojourns syndrome. On top of that I was having incredible joint pain later found to be arthritis at age 27. The Doctors told me I would be in a wheel chair with 7 years if I did not get out of the cold climate. My marriage and my family was torn by all of the news and 3 years later we moved to sunny Florida where more change and lose occurred.
In in time I came to understand God's will for my life and for others in my circle.
Today I don't have a wheelchair and recently found out from my hematologist that my VonWillebrands diagnosis no longer shows any evidence of being in my system which I am still puzzled about. I don't suffer very much from the arthritis as long as I am practicing my yoga and well as you know I went on to become a Sports Yoga teacher. I later moved around the State a little and then to the Island in Key West with my next spouse Ira and now today spend my time up and down the East Coast of Florida where I practice yoga along the way.
I shared all of that to say this that there are many decisions we make and things that we try in life some people and situations stick with us, others change. I have had a lot of the "change" on my end and not so much of the "sticking" but I am really happy to say that sixteen years later this yoga is the one constant in my life, it stuck. More importantly I want to say that it's no longer a hobby, it's more a way of life and for that I am eternally grateful as I do believe it saved me.
As we continue our study of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga we come to probably the most important Law Karma.
Karma as studied in the Bhagavad Gita translation tells us for every action there is a reaction.
Nothing happens by chance.
You have heard "You shall reap what you sow."
"Do unto others what you want done to you."
So I asked my spouse his take on Karma last night and he said "Yes I do believe in Karma but I also believe in Redemption", and yes the Gita speaks of redemption.
You see Karma is a great teacher because it helps to balance the world. Redemption leads to freedom.
Only God can save you by doing repentance God will interfere.
You should live a life where you are trying to please God and others and not so much of yourself.
Find out your purpose, "Why am I here?", you need to know this answer, even if you are saying that you are not sure you want to know, you really do need to know.
Your purpose is to serve others. Once you realize your purpose God will bestow his many gifts upon your life beyond your greatest dreams or imagination.
If you've been hurting inside or if you have hurt others that could very well be Karma. The good news is with realizing your purpose and repentance and taking responsibility to making it right with those that you have wronged God will acknowledge that and loving Karma will prevail.
It all starts with a tiny grain of Faith.
In the end you can only answer for what you have done with the talents he has bestowed upon you.
Everyday I pray for the people on my mind and in my heart and everyday I wake up and do the right things, that is action and the reaction will hopefully be my soul closer to spiritual enlightenment. For those students that say they are not sure who they are and not sure if they really wanted to know after learning things from their past, I challenge you to learn about Karma and more than that for your own healing isn't it time you get real with your past transgressions and I promise you when you do it will all make sense.
I attached a great interview with Pundit Venkat Machiraju he talks about what Karma is and the types and about how to live based on Hinduism and Gita teachings. As you know I study all religions. I was raised a Catholic and later converted to being a Baptist the same year I started yoga 1997. It was after that during deeper studies in my quest to learn more about yoga that I decided I want to learn and be open to all religions. So I guess you can say I was baptized a Catholic and I guess that is how I found my way through the large wooden doors with the beautiful stained glass windows of Catholic church on Christmas Eve in Key West a year ago and this Christmas Eve I was here in Port Orange where I drove up to a local Baptist church. My spouse is Jewish I have been to Synagogue as well and I celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas in my home. I guess if you have to classify me I am simply a Christian who desire to learn more and to accept all beliefs. By doing this I open myself up to being non denominational and that allows me to marry all religions and as in my nature as a Notary also to be neutral and not opinionated either way.

Much to the chagrin of the medical marijuana supporters who lined the street in front of Kent City Hall, the city council voted Tuesday night to ban medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens.
The supporters hoped to convince the council that medical marijuana is a necessary part of many people's lives.
"Please don't take away the medical marijuana," said Michael Ranetta, who suffers from multiple sclerosis. "We need it, it's safe and we don't want to die on pain pill narcotics."
Inside city hall, tempers flared as more than 150 people packed the small room to voice their opinion on the issue.
"All these dispensaries have helped many of us stay out of jail, because we have a place to go," one man said.
Despite the emotional pleas from the public, the council voted 4-3 in favor of the ban.

Bethel volunteer firefighters are looking forward to moving to their bigger, safer fire station on Oakridge Road this summer.
A $2 million station is under construction beside the current Bethel Volunteer Fire Department station, the oldest of three stations in the department. The new facility will have five drive-through bays and 15,000 square-feet of space.
"The contract finish date is May 26, but we're definitely looking forward to moving in early summer," said Chief Michael Laws.
Workers last week said there has been soft ground the past few months because of rain and snow, but clear weather is helping the job progress. When the station opens, it will have more training room, more up-to-date technology and better parking, Laws said.

Response times will improve with more parking, he said, as firefighters can get to the trucks faster. Set back more from S.C. 557, the new station will improve safety for firefighters and others, he said.
With the current station, Laws said, "we're actually having to back in off a major highway."
Ten to 15 firefighters regularly work from Station No. 2 on Hands Mill Highway, which is getting interior improvements as the new No. 1 station is built. The department also has a station on Dr. Nichols Road.
"We're actively making things better at all three stations," Laws said.
Bruce Henderson represents the Bethel service area on the York County Council, which approved spending money from the department's special tax district to build the new station.
"It's certainly going to enhance the abilities of the firefighters," Henderson said. "Overall, just the newness of everything, it could help draw more volunteers."
The current station No. 1 has "limitations," Henderson said. The building barely fits some trucks and has been expanded multiple times. The new construction in Lake Wylie could be a model for other departments in the county.
"A lot of people have a lot of interest in what goes on with this station," Laws said.
With more homes and businesses in the district, Henderson said, it won't be surprising if even more fire improvements are needed.
"Growth is coming," he said. "We just want to manage it the best way we can."
The Bethel department has 67 firefighters, including four full-time employees who work 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Volunteers fill in the rest and supplement the weekday crew as needed.

The national Acadian anthem was chosen in Miscouche, Prince Edward Island in 1884, during the second National Acadian Convention.
Delegates of the third commission which was called "Drapeau et chant national" (National anthem and flag) were unable to submit only one appropriate suggestion, so they named a special committee to do so. However, the committee did not have to make any preliminary studies or recommendations, since the Convention was instantly won over by the Marian hymn, the Ave Maris Stella, probably more for its melody than for its lyrics. In fact, when Father Richard and Father Cormier displayed, before an emotional audience, a superb tricoloured flag decorated with a yellow star, the enthusiasm was universal. Loud cheers welcomed the standard seen for the first time. From all sides, everyone asked for a song, so Father Richard struck up, in a solemn and low-pitched voice, the Ave Maris Stella, which everyone repeated after him. Father Richard, taking the floor, expressed his hope that our musicians would soon find a national melody. Pascal Poirier, interrupting him, announced that for him "the Acadian national melody has already been found, and found in a splendid way that shows the hand of God, the intervention of Mary, our patron saint. This melody that we have been looking for, that we implored, has just echoed in our ears, it has generated the most sweet and gentle sensation in our hearts. It is the melody that Father Richard struck up, which was repeated by the entire audience; it is the melody of the Ave Maris Stella, a hymn which is being sung in all our churches and that we so often hear in our homes; the salutation of the Church to Mary, patron saint of the Acadians". [Unofficial translation] These words were welcomed by the crowd with jubilation. The President submitted the proposal to the assembly, who adopted it to the sound of the delegation's enthusiastic cheers.
Afterwards, individuals showed that they were in favour of rhymes which would be more representative of the Acadians, with their past full of storms and their future filled with hope. Others were shocked to hear a Church song brought to places where there were politics and alcohol. Time and time again, individuals have tried to compose a national Acadian hymn on the melody adopted in Miscouche. Two profane compositions were somewhat successful, the Marseillaise acadienne, written in 1910 by Father A.-T. Bourque, and En avant!, a work by Father Stanislas Doucet, dating back to 1912. From 1960 onwards, the Ave Maris Stella issue was raised during various meetings. So much so that, in 1972, at a meeting of New Brunswick Francophones held in Fredericton, 58.7% of the delegates agreed that the national Acadian anthem, the Ave Maris Stella, be replaced, while only 16.8% were against this idea. In 1984, one hundred years after it was chosen, the issue of the national anthem is still not settled. The Ave Maris Stella, which is still being sung in latin during certain patriotic events, remains the offical national anthem of Acadia. There is however, a lack of consensus around this symbol.
The following are the lyrics of the Ave Maris Stella:
Ave, maris stella,
Dei Mater alma,
Atque semper Virgo,
Felix coeli porta. (bis)
Sumens illud Ave
Gabrielis ore,
Funda nos in pace,
Mutans Hevae nomen. (bis)
Solve vincla reis,
Profer lumen caecis,
Mala nostra pelle,
Bona cuncta posce. (bis)
Monstra te esse matrem,
Sumat per te preces
Qui pro nobis natus,
Tulit esse tuus. (bis)
Virgo singularis
Inter omnes mitis,
Nos culpis solutos
Mites fac et castos. (bis)
Vitam praesta puram,
Iter para tutum,
Ut videntes Jesum
Semper collaetemur. (bis)
Sit laus Deo Patri,
Summo Christo decus,
Spiritui Sancto,
Tribus honor unus. (bis) Amen.
("Un peuple à unir", special issue of La Petite Souvenance to mark the Acadian flag's Centennial, 1884-1984, published by the Société historique acadienne de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard.)
French Version:
In 1988, the Société nationale de l'Acadie initiated a contest and retained the version of La Voix acadienne journalist, Jacinthe Laforest. Here are the French lyrics that she composed on the melody of the Ave Maris Stella.
Ave Maris Stella
Dei Mater Alma
Atque Semper Virgo
Felix Coeli Porta (bis)
Acadie ma patrie
À ton nom, je me lie
Ma vie, ma foi sont à toi
Tu me protégeras (bis)
Acadie ma patrie
Ma terre et mon défi
De près, de loin tu me tiens
Mon coeur est acadien (bis)
Acadie ma patrie
Ton histoire, je la vis
La fierté, je te la dois
En l'avenir, je crois (bis)

a guy could get used to this...
I really like the nederlands. It even looks nice on the flight in. Schipol is cool and modern. On the cab ride home I was trying to decide if I remembered being in a mercedes before. It was a really nice cab.
Tried to check in and hit a systems are down we can't check you in. At least it was a free drink. More world cup. France won. That game was annoying. Both teams were constantly falling over. The italy game the refs let em play and didn't call the falls. Much better game once the decided to play rather fall over looking for a restart. Hopefully we get the mexican ref so he will let them play out the cup.
When I got the room i was treated to a very nice hotel. Missing the living room of my dublin place this one supplemented with a plasma tv and a automated drapes. They still don't have the interface on the drapes right.
Steamed my jacket, worked like a dog for two days and (hopefully) got most of what I needed to, done
Hopefully I will retire the bb for awhile.

Brooke Shields To Have Recurring Role on SVU

I have a very weird, sinking feeling about this. I will however try to keep an open mind. Since they want to create some mystery, I hope it's nothing cliche or corny.
Have we lost ADA Barba?

@Cardinal - I think every showrunner wants to make their mark and I suspect that Michael Chernichin is doing the same. Not sure about Raul, I think he's with the show (for now?) but they weren't very specific about how he and and Philip Winchester's Peter Stone will fit in. I really like Raul and I also like the addition of "Peter Stone" and all I can hope is that we get both. It's better than only have Raul what seemed like half the time last season!

Again, as long as the main cast isn't tampered with, I'll be perfectly content. I love Brooke Shields, can't wait for Season 19!

I'm thrilled Philip Winchester is joining SVU. I loved Chicago Justice and felt strongly it should have had a season 2. Many shows had ratings way lower then Justice but they were renewed.I couldn't figure out why Dick Wolf was not standing by the new show and Winchester. Now I feel happy about the coming changes. I also am a huge Barba fan and expect that Raul will stick with the show. He has such high regards for Mariska and enjoys working with her.
- August 12, 2017 at 2:35 AM

I'm very concerned about the addition of "Peter Stone", especially since it's in the 2nd half of the season. Does this mean if SVU comes back for a 20th year, which I know both NBC and Dick Wolf really want to push for to tie the original Law and Order's record, that Raúl will not be there. SVU has NEVER had 2 REGULAR ADA's why now? Why with SUCH a popular guy such a Barba. EVERYONE loves him and is already annoyed that he's not on more. Now it appears he'll be on less? How could any of his fans possibly like this? I'm hoping upon hoping that Raúl has another TV show in the works. I know he loves Broadway but it seems to me that as of the last years he has been geared more towards moves and TV, so if anything, I hope that that's what's happening. As someone who doesn't live near NY (I'm a California girl) I would be happy for Raúl if he wanted to be back on Broadway and was able to get a show worthy of his talent, but oh so sad for me as I wouldn't be able to see him on a regular basis. I'd MUCH rather he get a leading role in a movie, or another series. That said, I know that he and Mariska are the BEST of friends and I believe she would look out for him. Still I'm worried about this change of events. Plus, does the addition of Brooke Shields mean that yet again, Carisi, Rollins, and Finn's characters will once again not have the character devleopment they deserve? Not real happy right now :(

@Jamie Leigh Littlewolf: I would also be very sad to see Raul leave the show, unless, of course, he has a better gig or is doing something that he enjoys more. He adds such a spark to the show! But I'm also thrilled to have Philip Winchester on the show because he also would add another interesting character to the show. I want them both! I guess I want to have my cake and eat it too, as the saying goes.
I am keeping an open mind about Brooke Shields. I don't know what's in store for the show and I like that they appear to be trying to build some suspense. All we can do is wait and see and hope for the best.
- August 12, 2017 at 2:50 PM
- Draven Long said...
I saw a report saying that Brooke Shields' character is going to "cause trouble for" and "torment" Lt. Benson. THE SUSPENSE IS TOO MUCH!

Toy Fair comes to a close buff.ly/2NcUW9R https://t.co/YvRQeUK81R
Amazing Race:Family Edition started off where we left, at the Panama Canal. The Paolos (how, and why, are they still in this race?) were the first to open their clue. They were instructed to find one of three charter buses that would drive them over 600 miles to San Jose, Costa Rica. The buses were first come, first served, and each bus could only take two teams. With 30 minutes between each bus departure, you needed to get there fast. Once in San Jose, they needed to travel 35 miles to the of Volcan Poas, a 1000-foot deep active volcano, for their next clue.
The Paolos were on the first bus, and then wanted to make sure the dreaded Weavers wouldn't be on theirs, so they helped the Linz family find the 11:30 AM bus, securing the Weavers would be later. So, bus 1 at 11:30 AM was the Paolos and Linzs, bus 2 at 12:00 PM was the Weavers and Gaghans and on the 12:30 PM bus were the Bransens and Godlewskis. No big surprise on the Godlewskis since they started with no money since they came in last in the previous leg and were stripped of their money.
Once in San Jose, the Linzs and Paolos teamed up to have a cab driver lead them to the volcano. Upon arriving though, they find the gates locked, meaning the teams would again equalize as they waited for morning. Stupid equalizers. I understand they need to do it because otherwise you will have a really unbalanced race (see Amazing Race 1 for what I mean, don't want to spoil it), but still, you do get annoyed with them sometimes. The Gaghans and Weavers had trouble finding their cars at first, but still made it to the volcano in time to sit and wait with everyone else.
Once the gates opened in the morning, the teams dashed for the clue box and found out that they needed to drive 17 miles to the Doka Estate, a coffee plantation, where, not only their next clue awaited, but there was also a Yield. As this is the first time this has happened this race, let me explain. Any team may place a Yield on a team behind them. Once that team reaches the Yield, they must turn over an hour glass and wait for it to run out before they move on. In the past, these have rarely been used, but this time it seemed everyone was planning to use it on the Weavers. As the Paolos got there first, they used the Yield, as suspected, on the Weavers.
Here was the silly part though. The Weavers had been in second place when they left the volcano. It was due to stopping to ask for directions from a local that they got passed by all the remaining teams, putting them in last place. So not only where they last, they then got Yielded. Not a good day for the Weavers. After the Paolos used the Yield, they got many thank yous and high fives from the other teams.
Inside the clue at the coffee planatation was a Roadblock. The selected team member would have to search through 800 lbs of coffee beans for the lone red bean. Even I cringed at that concept. Once completed, the clue instruced the teams to drive 94 miles to a small town named Jaco. Once there they had to locate a small surf shop and receiver their next clue from an employee named Javier. First team out was the Godlewski family, followed closely by the Paolos. The came the fun as the Weavers arrived to discover their Yield and got to see the Linz and Bransens run past them having complete the Roadblock.
This is what irked me. The Weavers go on and on about how superior they are and that they are so nice. So what do they do during the Yield? Go through pictures of the other teams and make fun of them like kids would, all the time the mother is laughing. I am sorry this family lost their father/husband, but they sure aren't showing themselves to be that nice. Once the Yield was over, they joined the Gaghans in the hunt for the red bean, which was not going well for Mama Gaghan. Sadly, the Weavers found it first, leaving the Gaghans to continue to hunt.
At the surf shop, the teams received their clue to the Detour. As usual, here is the official site's explanation:
"In this Detour, Teams had to choose between Relic and Ripe. In Relic, Teams traveled to a nearby rainforest and traversed six precarious rope bridges while searching for four relics of the Mayan civilization. After delivering the relics to an archaeologist, they would receive their next clue. In Ripe, Teams traveled to a nearby banana plantation, gathered 15 bushels of bananas, and loaded them onto hanging tracks. Then, using a locally devised pulley system, Teams needed to haul the bananas to the distribution center."
The Paolos were the only one's to do Ripe, while everyone else did Relic. Not sure which one I would have gone for. After each team finished the Detour, they received a clue telling them to drive 20 miles to the town of Quepos and find the Pit Stop for this leg of the race.
The pit stop became a foot race between the Paolos, the Bransens and the Linzes. Sadly, the Paolos came in first…again. It seems screaming gets you places. The big disappointment of the week though was the Weavers beating the Gaghans. I have really admired the Gaghans and am sorry to see them go. And if you didn't go "awwwwwwwww" to poor little 9 year old Carissa trying to fight back tears of disappointment, your heart is made of stone.

Welcome to the Scrapper's Delights special
Then it was just a matter of adding some embellishments.
Using brads, I added several gears.
I then added a piece of chain to dangle from the tag top to the gear.
Some paper twine was wrapped around the top,
with some curls left to dangle.
Finally, I added some glossy accents to both the pocket watch and the goggles.
One final look at the texture and dimension:

The on-board telemetry monitoring system has been modified to avoid responding to invalid telemetry values. Aside from these occasional readings, the spacecraft appears to be in good health.

|Chicharito scored the cheeky winning goal against Guatemala putting Mexico in the Gold Cup Semi-final
After conceding an early goal, Mexico bounced back from 1-0 at HT to 2-1 victory at full time.
Interestingly, Mexico was behind for the first time since the start of the tournament after that early goal by Guatemala striker Carlos Ruiz. Their lead held until Mexico's halftime sub Aldo De Negris equalized in the 48th minute.
In the 65th minute, our Little pea "Chicharito" scored the winner with an elegant yet cheeky backheel goal. It seemed like he's born for producing magical goals like these and made it look like a child's play. Check out the video above in HD!
That put Mexico in the semifinals and marked just another day in the increasingly successful life of Javier Hernandez.
However, for Manchester United fans, this goal won't be a big excitement as the Mexican has already scored a similar backheel set up by Nani against Stoke City in the Premier League. The game was against Stoke City at Old Trafford earlier this year (4 Jan, 2011) after scoring which, Hernandez became the leading Mexican goal scorer in the English Premier League; an amazing achievement unlocked in his FIRST premier league season at Manchester United!
Let's wish Mexico and our Little Pea "Javier Hernandez" aka Chicharito all the best for the remaining 2 games of the Gold Cup and hope Chicharito wins the cup for Mexico!

15 Unique Gifts Any Basketball Coach Would Appreciate
Like most team sporting endeavors, the game of basketball is one that depends on coaching for success. No matter how much talent you or your teammates might possess as individuals, there is more to the game than just singular accomplishments. Without a coach to create the unity and teamwork necessary for success, your team would be just a disjointed assemblage of individual talents. If your season is coming to a close soon, what better way can there be to express your appreciation for that team mentor and teacher than to consider finding a good gift idea for basketball coaches for your coach and trainers? After all, the players aren't the only ones who pour their hearts and souls into each moment on the court. Your coaches are as intimately involved in every play as you are, and it's time you show them just how thankful you are that they do what they do. To help you select a fitting item for your team's coaching staff, here's a list of great basketball coach gifts ideas that should make it easier for your entire team to decide what to give those critical team leaders.
Obviously, finding just the right gift for basketball coaches is a task that should involve everyone on the team. Usually, however, there are just a few team members involved in making the whole process work, and that's often for the best. Sometimes, the best option is to have a small group review the items on our list, select the top three or four choices that seem appropriate, and then present that smaller list of selections to the entire team so that they can vote for their favorites. That often provides the perfect opportunity for everyone to feel that they've had some input in the decision, and can even prove illuminating as different players offer their reasons for preferring one item over the others. The fact is that there are so many unique basketball coaches gifts on our list that narrowing down the options is often the only way to ever reach a united team agreement on the matter! That variety of options is there for a reason though: we know that your coaching staff is made up of unique people, and we wanted to be sure that you have the variety you need to give them something that matches each individual personality. With our list of ideas, you're sure to find items that will be treasured for the rest of your coach's life.

This morning Union Bank funded nearly $600,000 of Vermont Housing Finance Agency's (VHFA) highly successful "ASSIST" down payment assistance program. By purchasing Vermont Affordable Housing Credits for the past three years, Union Bank has helped nearly 500 Vermont households buy their first homes.
Interested buyers who qualify for a VHFA mortgage can receive up to $5,000 in the form of a no-interest second mortgage to help with down payment and closing costs. The down payment assistance requires no monthly payments, with repayment to VHFA due only when the home is sold or refinanced. VHFA uses repayments to continue funding the program for future homebuyers.
Faced with increasing home prices in many parts of the state, more and more home buyers are turning to the ASSIST program for help. Demand for the program is more than twice the initial projections.
Union Bank's purchase of this year's state housing credits will provide an additional $593,750 of funding for the program. VHFA is currently seeking additional funding sources to keep up with the unexpectedly high demand for the program because evidence shows first-time home buyers are critically important to improving the Vermont economy. The Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce championed the creation of this program based on their members' need for more housing assistance to attract and retain workers.
Since its enactment by the Vermont Legislature in 2015, this program has helped nearly 500 Vermont households with an average income of $65,000 to buy their first homes. Vermonters using the program tend to be young, with an average age of 31.
"This is an example of the great impact a public-private partnership can have on the first-time home buyer market in Vermont," remarked VHFA's Executive Director, Sarah Carpenter. "We are proud to work with Union Bank to remove the roadblock created by rising home prices and the substantial down payment and fees required at closing for Vermonters who are otherwise ready to become homeowners."
"We are delighted to help address the ever-growing demand among Vermonters for down payment assistance," commented Karyn Hale, Union Bank's Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer.
The ASSIST program is funded through a temporary expansion of the Vermont Affordable Housing Credit program, passed by the state legislature in 2015.
Union Bank purchased all available credits for the first three years of the program. VHFA will be seeking investors to purchase future credits in July 2018 when the program enters its fourth year.

La Mesa School celebrates 25th anniversary
It's never hard to find reasons to celebrate at La Mesa Elementary, but last Friday's celebration was for a bigger reason than usual.
It has been 25 years since the district's newest school, La Mesa, opened its doors to welcome the campus's first students. That's reason enough to mark the occasion with a day of festivities.
There was a time capsule, buried 15 years ago, to be located, unearthed, and explored adding mystery and anticipation to the occasion.
La Mesa principal Alissa Carter says that the search for the time capsule began days prior to the celebration. Carter located a few photos of the time capsule being placed into the ground by former Principal Sharon Wright and former Assistant Principal Greg Brown. They knew the general area where it was located, but things change in 15 years. A metal detector was of no help, the items had been buried in a Styrofoam container. They dug a few holes, eventually bringing in a machine to help dig and at last the time capsule was located. Carter would share the story of locating the time capsule and lessons learned during the celebratory assembly.
The assembly in the school gym was attended by students, staff and parents. Also joining in the celebration were many former students and former staff, along with members of the community.
Five-year-old Manny Garcia, a student in the La Mesa Learning Academy, gave the welcome in a strong, confident voice not often seen in one so young, especially when speaking to a crowd that likely numbered more than six hundred.
The school and its staff clearly mean a lot to students. Following Manny, seven other students took the podium to share their thoughts on the campus — Mary Warren, Timothy Franklin, Maci McKay, Jadyn Halencak, McKaleigh Moore, Sterling Hilyer and Jordyn Ramirez.
"I just want to say thanks for pretty much raising me," said McKaleigh. "I met my best friend here, had field trips, and I appreciate the amazing learning and fantastic teachers." She listed many of the activities that she had participated in during her time at the campus that were fond memories for her.
All students expressed a love for their teachers, administrators, and other school staff. A few called the campus their second home, reaffirming the truth in their school motto, "La Mesa — A Great Place to Learn."
Former Principal Sharon Wright, now the district's executive director of curriculum and instruction, led the group in singing "Happy Birthday." She encouraged the students to "make a wish, think about what you want to be when you grow up, then work hard to make it happen."
Teacher Terry Higgins and retired teacher Carrie Rollins shared what it was like in those first days of classes at the campus.
Rollins said that getting the school ready in time for the first day of school required volunteer help. Parents spent several days putting together desks and chairs while teachers readied the classrooms. Air conditioners were not running yet in classroom areas so box fans were brought in to help keep classrooms cool from the August heat.
The cafeteria was still being completed so sack lunches were delivered to the classrooms those first days. There were no library books yet. There were also no pencil sharpeners in the classrooms. PE teachers made the rounds every morning to sharpen pencils while they waited on the pencil sharpeners to arrive.
"They came. They played. They learned. They made friends," said Rollins.
The contents of the time capsule were on display for visitors after the assembly. Carter explained that a new time capsule would be assembled that afternoon and will soon be buried on the school grounds. There will be some changes this time around.
There were a few lessons learned in unearthing the old time capsule. A Styrofoam container sealed with duct tape might have seemed like a good idea 15 years ago, but when it was covered in earth, it was not able to hold up to the weight of the earth. It had partially collapsed and subsequently the items inside — photos, a La Mesa Corps vest, school T-shirt, video tapes, workbooks, documents, etc. — although still interesting to view, had been damaged. Carter says the next time capsule will probably be sealed in PVC pipe and will have enough metal with it to be located with a metal detector.
In conjunction with the anniversary celebration, the school held a silent auction in the library with more than 60 works of art created by students and former students. The auction raised $837 that will go to a beautification fund at the campus.
Afternoon events included a gathering of items for the new capsule and a parade around the campus led by the PHS drum line. The final event included cupcakes in the classrooms. After all, every child knows a birthday celebration isn't complete without a cake.

The fishtail braid!
This has become a new favourite of mine, and foxylocks has an amazing tutorial of big 60's hair on top with a fishtail braid coming down over your shoulder. I recently wore it on a night out since it's always raining here and my hair always goes puffy, a braid is a perfect way to avoid this, and a fishtail changes it up a bit.
Kardashian Waves
Kardashian waves, or hair in general just makes you feel so glamorous and confident with yourself. With long, bouncy hair that is easy but makes you look a bit more dressed up. Love it! I like how they all do their hair when straight as well with the ends flicked back and around. And yes, I mean it when I say all, they must have the same hair stylist because they all have almost identical haircuts.
Big and Blow-dried
Big at the crown and still straight is my go to most of the time. Every time I go out for the night, this is what I go for. It holds well without having to worry about the weather. It's glamorous but still simple and easy to do. I literally just use a round metal brush and that's all I need. Also, it's not going to take away the attention from what you wearing or makeup etc.
Top Bun
This is such a simple and cute looking hairstyle. It takes like five minutes to do and (like the picture) pairs really well with a red lip. There's something about it that's almost model-esque. I'm a huge fan of this whether I'm sitting round the house, in work or on a night out, it fits well with everything you could possibly think to wear it with. Top marks!
50's style Rollers
Last but not least, hair set in rollers with gorgeous hollywood waves. This is so easy to do, chuck some rollers in, do your makeup, get changed, take rollers out, brush gently, hairspray. Done! My only issue is that from rollers my hair drops really quickly, but it's so much more natural looking and softer than using normal tongs. This I save for special occasions because it's so dressy and over the top that wearing it with jeans would be actually insane.
I hope you enjoyed this article! Let me know what your favourite hairstyles are and any hair tips you have too!

We believe that a comfortable, clean and caring place to stay whilst students study is extremely important. Therefore we provide high standard accommodation for students to make the most of their time with us.
Bath Academy arranges accommodation in Bath with caring and responsible homestay providers. Living in homestay accommodation, students are able to learn more about British customs and traditions, and gain additional conversational practice.
Our Accommodation Officer chooses homestay providers very carefully; they are visited and interviewed in order to ensure that they satisfy our criteria. We always aim to select host families who are genuinely interested in learning more about different cultures.
Students have their own room which includes a bed, wardrobe space and space for studying. In most cases students will share a bathroom with the homestay provider. It is possible to request ensuite facilities but these are subject to availability.
Homestay accommodation is full board (breakfast, packed lunch and dinner) and includes normal laundry requirements. If students have any medical or dietary requirements it is important to note this on the application form so we can make the necessary arrangements. Living with a homestay provider is a wonderful experience that most students treasure for the rest of their lives. Students often remain friends with their host families for many years.
Student Residential House
For long-term students, and over the summer months, accommodation may be available in our college residences. The Academy has two residential houses, which offer full board accommodation for students who are 14+ years of age – one designated for boys and one for girls. Both houses are within 10 minutes' walk from the school and city centre, and have resident members of staff to ensure students' safety, happiness and progress.
Both houses have single and shared rooms which are allocated on a strictly 'first come, first served' basis. The bedrooms are well furnished, centrally heated and are cleaned each week, including new bed linen. All houses are non-smoking.

The 'Who' of Scientific Development
Scientific development is designed to mirror the unpredictability of the scientific method. Most organizations will have a hard time tolerating that. Others, like those in the pharmaceutical industry, may be able to embrace these ideas without difficulty. The primary barrier to using this technique will be from your organization.

A Bird? A Plane? No... It's Mega Saucer!Reviewing: Evenflo Exersaucer Mega | Rating:
The Evenflo Exersaucer Mega is a great alternative to the dangerous baby walkers that used to be available. I was able to purchase mine on clearance from Zellers because a newer model was coming in. My son loves his Exersaucer Mega!
Unlike the death-trap baby walkers, the Exersaucer Mega is a stationary play centre. I guess it gets it's 'saucer' name from the base of the unit. Mine is blue and in the shape of a round plate (...or saucer) that has a 360-degree tilt. The seat inside is covered in a jungle theme and allows my son to move around in a complete circle. The upper tray is red with a snack and sippy cup holder as well as other toys.
The toys situated around the Exersaucer Mega are great for teething babies that can at least sit up by themselves. Each teething toy is brightly coloured with a different pattern/texture - perfect for chewing! There is also a rattle, a flip page book, a carousel that plays music when movement is detected, a mirror and a spinning barrel.
Each toy is within reach of my baby. His favourites are the orange lion, the blue and green elephant (he loves biting the ears!) and the spinning barrel of monkeys. He is also learning to stand and loves that can turn to see where everyone is or grab another toy. Sometimes he likes to give his legs a rest and sits while conversing with the blue seal rattle. This is truly a Mega - saucer that is mega fun for any little one!

Shailene Woodley – 2012 Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards
I will end today's Red Carpet posting with a little bit of a different look, that to be honest, I didn't even knew I would like, as I didn't like it on the runway. I'm talking about Shailene Woodley's minimalist Calvin Klein Resort 2012 look, that was a major hit at the 2012 Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards. I'm not even surprised.
For as much as I love simplicity in a gown, I always felt that the minimal looks were a little bit boring, but that feeling it's slowly starting to change. The grey silk floor length Halter-Neck Gown Shailene wore, had a gentle softness to it and a subtle elegance, that I found to be inspiring.
Luckily she kept the minimal all throughout the styling as well, as she was spotted without any jewelry, a very natural make-up and a long straight cut.

Top: BCBG (old) | Jeans: The Limited (similar) | Necklace: F21 (old) | Sandals: Target (in stores)
I love a good pair of jeans and these easily pass the test. From the moment I bought them, I've felt like I've been wearing them for years. They're not stiff and tight which are often things that make me cringe when putting jeans on. I'm definitely now a fan of the boyfriend trend in jeans. They're loose enough with out being baggy. To keep this look feminine and casual, I paired these jeans with a simple crochet top, a statement necklace, and my favorite Target sandals. It simply makes for the perfect everyday look.

With it nearing the end of August, the heat is still among us. That's why I love a good maxi. This faded fringe maxi is a piece I was excited to wear this summer after purchasing it this past spring. It's perfect for every day activities, but would also be perfect for a good outdoor concert. I paired it with my aztec printed sandals from Target to finish off the look!
Happy Friday!

I'm backkk! Whew! I've had wonderful two weeks with my sorority sisters, but I'm so glad to be back on the blogging routine. Today was my first day of classes and they went well. Although I'm feeling under the weather, so fingers crossed this passes quickly.
Anyways! I got these Gap shorts on vacation last summer at an outlet (so sad I can't find more like them!) But they're such a fun, bright pop of color. Like I said in my floral post, it's all about mixing it up with fun bottoms in the summer and neons are so in! Do you have favorite pair of fun shorts?
P.S. Who else loves the shaken peach green tea lemonade from SBucks?

I'm not a huge fan of graphic tees but when I saw this tee I fell in love. I've always said that when I get older I will own a french bulldog and name her Eloise. Too cute, am I right? Also, we gotta talk about the fact I have a shorts problem. It wasn't until the other day when I was packing I realized the amount of shorts I own is ridiculous. What can I say? I love a variety of shorts.
I must also address the fact that this week is the worst I've slacked on my blog, but I have good reason!
This next week will be super busy for me too, so I won't be posting again until (fingers crossed) August 19th! See you then!

I got this dress on sale in the winter and couldn't wait to wear it in the summer months. I must say, it would look much better with a tan. Being a working gal this summer got in the way of that. But before you say it, I know my skin will thank me years down the road! :) Anyways, I love the breeziness of this dress. It is way too perfect for summer and probably one of my favorite looks!

cool summer nights.
Sweater: Aeropostale c/o | Shorts: Aeropostale c/o | Bracelet: Very Jane | Sunnies: Amazon | Sandals: Target
I recently announced via Instagram that I'm partnering with Aeropostale to introduce their new fall line! Their new line is more mature and very versatile. I love this knit sweater that can easily transition into fall and winter. These boyfriend shorts are already a favorite piece of mine in my closet. They're so comfortable!
Be sure to shop Aero's new line. It's worth checking out!

Yes, i have preordered my copy of Utawarerumono: itsuwari no kamen, and once it arrives we will proceed to tear it apart. Updates follow when we know more.
What comes to Utaware psp, it's progressing (my apologies for not updating project status in a forever.) Basic is taking a small break from translating at the moment to work on other things, and im just poking at the already translated content at my own slow pace. Binary is being mostly idle since there's nothing more to hack as far as that project goes. Don't fret people! it will happen…. when it's done™
