Sophie, the first friend I ever made in college! Sophie always had the best accessories and is probably the most stylish person I know. So when I was brainstorming a piece to make her, I wanted it to be unique and sweet like her! The "Sophie" bracelet is made out of glass heart beads (no heart is the same), iridescent crystals and a braid made of the multi-colored knitted rope and suede. Hopefully Soph and I have the same wrists size because I kept cutting it shorter to make it fit perfectly around the wrist.
Can't wait to celebrate with my favorite German tonight in Brooklyn! The pic of Soph below is circa Sophomore year Toga party night... jello bowl, classy.

Where is the battery located in the MGB?
6 Answers
Behind the seats, under the floor.
Behind the passenger seat under the floor.
That is right. NOTE: there are two 6 volt batteries wired in series and not one 12v battery,.
Larry that all depends on whether or not the car has been converted to one battery.
True, buI I am a purist that believes classics shoud be kept original. Saying that, I put a 327 in a Volvo 544! If only I could have built wings.
Original is great but with one battery you have some storage. 75 and up rubber bumper cars have only one battery.

Workers with a reliable schedule are more likely to be happy at work
Where does HR place in the rankings?
The Australian Council of Trade Unions' (ACTU) proposed changes to the rights of casual workers could potentially impact businesses across Australia in all industries – here's what you need to know.
As the modern award system is set to be reviewed, the ACTU will attempt to implement a change which will provide casual workers with entitlements including paid sick and annual leave, permanent positions and training and promotion opportunities.
If the ACTU's claim is passed by the Fair Work Commission, business groups claim it could disturb the balance established between businesses and employees by the ability of organisations to hire individuals on a casual basis.
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that countless businesses rely on casual workers during busy or understaffed periods, whilst many employees favour the flexibility of causal work.
"There is a need for balance between the needs of the business as well as the needs of the worker," confirmed Steve Shepherd, employment market analyst at Randstad Asia Pacific. "Temporary work works well for employees as well – a large percentage of people enjoy the benefits of its flexibility."
Currently, employers are not obligated to provide casual workers with any paid leave or notice upon terminating employment.
However, most casual workers are compensated for this with casual loading, and it is arguable that many would prefer the higher hourly rate to the contracted perks.
Casual workers are already given some form of protection in modern awards, such as the right to access unfair dismissal laws if they have been with an employer for 6-12 months, depending on the size of the organisation.
"Many workers who work casually do so through choice," Shepherd told HC. "There are already aspects of the modern awards which have been implemented to protect long term casual workers."
If the claim is passed, it is debatable whether the changes will affect the lifestyle of the employed casual worker. Rather, the changes will be more heavily felt by employers, who could become reluctant to recruit casual workers, leaving those desiring flexibility disappointed.
"Even the recent Business 20 meeting in Melbourne recognised the importance of work flexibility," said Shepherd. "Business has changed over the past 20 years, and there is now a need for flexibility as well as sustainability. Some employers would opt out of recruiting if they can't hire casual workers."
Ged Kearney, the president of the ACTU, said that the claim is designed to benefit "teachers, receptionists, disability support and aged care workers who are already genuinely working permanent hours."
Australia currently has 2.2 million casual workers, who equate to 19% of the nation's workforce.
If all employees are to be regarded as permanent then that is fine, provided the working conditions of all employees reflects the flexibility lost by denying employers casuals. I would suggest employers still want some control or flexibility and therefore may move to more "temporary" contracts.
So casual workers will qualify for leave entitlements? Well then the first thing to go will be the loading.Second to go will be their jobs as employers will prefer to pay their workers overtime than be lumbered with a non flexible workforce.Let's just call it what it is, part time as it no longer sounds like a casual arrangement.This will affect school kid, mum and dads who supplement their income with a second job or flexible work arrangements due to their situation.Absolute madness.
These days there is a high use of what is known as "permanent casual" employment - employees who work regular hours week in week out and who, under a true definition of casual employment, are not casual - but for the employer's convenience are paid as casual as an escape from actually providing them with the benefits granted to permanent employees.This is an entirely different scenario from backfilling temporary needs due to additional work for a season or leave replacement.While most employees don't see the true value of paid leave in "the future" compared to 25% extra now, there should be a way of converting them out of a casual classification when they truly aren't casual

Abuja, Nigeria (PANA) - The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is pushing for the restoration of peace and stability in several of its member states which are facing political instability and terrorism or are in the throes of transition to democratic governance, especially Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Nigeria and Niger.
In a communique issued at the end of its one-day Summit in Nigeria's capital city of Abuja on Monday, ECOWAS leaders also indicated that they were eager to sign the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the EU.
They also called for the involvement of all member states in next year's celebration of the 40th anniversary of the founding of ECOWAS, a regional group of 15 member states dedicated to promoting economic integration of the region.
With Burkina Faso's interim President Michel Kafando attending the Summit for the first time since his appointment, the regional bloc welcomed the consensus reached in the country by all the stakeholders and the establishment of transitional organs, while commending political parties, civil society and the armed forces for their contribution to resolving the crisis.
"The Authority urges the transitional authorities to comply with the provisions of the Transitional Charter, particularly the provisions relating to the duration of the transition and to the ineligibility rules contained in the Charter. More importantly, it urges them to strictly comply with the deadline for holding democratic elections by November 2015," it said
The Summit urged the Transitional Authorities to ensure, at all times, inclusiveness in the process and consensus-building in the implementation of the transition programmes, and urged them to respect the Constitution, adhere to the rule of law and to guarantee individual freedom and the safety of all political leaders.
On Mali, the communique expressed deep concern over the security situation in the northern part of the country and strongly condemned the continued terrorist attacks on civilian populations and international troops.
The leaders reiterated their call on all the armed groups in northern Mali signatories to the Ouagadougou Agreement of 18 June 2013 to distance themselves from the terrorist groups.
They commended the progress recorded in the Algiers Talks to end the crisis and urged all the parties, in particular the general secretaries of the armed groups, to be personally involved in the process with a view to reaching an Agreement as soon as possible on the basis of the Draft submitted to the Parties by the Mediation, as a solid ground for negotiation.
The Summit expressed deep concern over the continuing terrorist attacks of the insurgent group, Boko Haram, in Nigeria, and expressed its sympathy with the Government and people of Nigeria as well as to the families of victims of the recent terrorist attacks in the north of the country
"The Authority appeals to the International Community to support Niger in order to enable this country to deal with the effects of refugees inflow due to Boko Haram attacks in Northern Nigeria," the communique said.
The Nigerian insurgency has spurned 142,000 refugees and returnees in Niger and Chad.
On Guinea Bissau, the Heads of State and Government reaffirmed their firm commitment to support the country in the pursuit of reforms aimed at consolidating peace, stability and security in the country, and promoting sustainable development.
"In that regard, they encouraged the Government of Guinea Bissau to be fully involved in the conduct of the reforms and the implementation of defined programmes.
"The Authority underscores the need to mobilise sufficient financial resources to support Guinea Bissau in its post-transition consolidation efforts. In that regard, and in view of the Donors' Roundtable scheduled for March 2015, the Authority appeals to all ECOWAS bilateral and multilateral partners to participate in the roundtable and take due account of Guinea Bissau's medium and long term development prospects in designing their support to the country,'' the communique said.
The leaders decided to extend the mandate of the ECOWAS Mission in Guinea-Bissau beyond 31 Dec. 2014 for another six months with the retention of the existing force strength.
On the EPA, the communique urged the West African Chief Negotiators to expedite actions to organise, as soon as possible, the signing of the Agreement and its ratification by all member states.
PANA reports that the text of the Agreement was signed on 12 December 2014 by the European Council of Ministers
On the 40th anniversary of ECOWAS, the Authority said it had taken note of the programme of activities for 2015, both in member states and the headquarters of the Commission, welcoming, in particular, the cultural and sporting events planned to that effect as well as the publication of a book on the achievements and the stakes in the deepening of the integration process in West Africa.
"The Authority urges all Member States to fully get involved in the celebration of this anniversary. It requests the Commission to work closely with Nigerian authorities in the preparation of this important event in Abuja," the communique said.
PANA reports that the meeting was attended by Presidents of nine out of the 15 member states, while the remaining six countries were represented by the Foreign Ministers or other top government officials.
The leaders who attended included Presidents Thomas Boni Yayi of Benin Republic; Michel Kafando of Burkina Faso; Alassane Ouattara of Côte d'Ivoire; John Dramani Mahama of Ghana; José Mario Vaz of Guinea Bissau; Ibrahim Boubacar Keita of the Republic of Mali; Mahamadou Issoufou of Niger; Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of Nigeria and Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe of Togo.
Cabo Verde; Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, Senegal and Sierra Leone were represented.
The 47th Ordinary Summit of the regional bloc will also be held in Abuja, Nigeria, in May 2015

Parents name their kids the craziest things. But an infant Cubs fan named "Waitle Nex Yeare" is too good to be true.
But there it was in the Tribune's birth announcements page this week.
Turns out, Suki and Justa Crappi are not the worst parents in the world (nor the goofiest named people ever, hello!), they don't exist. Their grandmother wasn't a Cubs fan either.
The birth announcement was a hoax; the brainchild of Rick Kaempfer, who runs Justonebadcentury.com.
"It's not so much a hoax as it is a political statement," Kaempfer said.
He got the idea for the name while he was watching a Cubs vs. Dodgers game with a buddy.
"Right then I knew their season was over," Kaempfer said. "So I said 'Wait till next year is born again'."
"We came up with the idea of putting a birth announcement in the paper, but we never thought the Tribune would actually run it."
But they did, and then the story started spreading across the blogosphere, even landing on the popular Deadspin.com.
This story is rather believable because people do name their kids stupid stuff, like Addison N. Clark, for instance. But it looks like you'll have to wait till next time for "Waitle Nex Yeare".

Sometimes a girl just needs a preppy tote.
A tie tote is not only a cool project with ties,
it's a great way to show your school pride!
I found ties that correspond with my beloved
Arizona State University!
Maroon and Gold!
Again I found ties at Goodwill
and for this project you'll use the entire tie.
No waste!
Canvas Tote
Ties (I used 8)
Seam Ripper
Sewing Machine
Embroidery Floss in complementary color
Measuring Tape
1. I used a simple white tote I had lying around my craft room. These are typically sold in packs of three at craft stores. Measure your tote's width and length.
2. Measure and cut your ties. You will need the wide end of the tie and the skinny tail for this project.
3. Deconstruct all your ties. For detailed instructions on deconstructing, please see the Tie Pillow Tutorial.
4. Figure out your pattern. I focused on every other piece being skinny and wide, as well as the maroon and gold being evenly spaced.
5. Pin your tie flaps together in such a manner that your pressed seams (from the original tie structure) will be sewn together.
6. Sew together along all the seams. Be patient with this. It took me forever because I am not a very skilled sewer - but practice makes perfect! When you're done, you will have a tie fabric!
7. Lay out your fabric face up and fold in half length wise. We are going to sew two seams along the outside to create a pouch. Pin your fabric together. Be sure to measure multiple times. You will want to be sure that your tote will fit in your little pouch. {The picture below makes it look crooked... I swear it wasn't - bad photographer moment}
8. Sew up your sides with two straight seams. As always, please remember to reverse stitch your seams. This will lock your thread into place.
9. Turn your fabric right side out and stuff your tote inside.
10. Fold your excess material so it is even with the top of the tote. Pin into place.
11. Use a blanket stitch to finish off the top. If you've never used a blanket stitch, have no fear! It is super easy and looks lovely when done.
Go all the way around the top edge of your tote and you're done!
I would recommend adding some extra embellishments if you'd like!
Check back tomorrow for our last Preppy Project!

|Reunion in Headlights
When I was 23, I moved to a small town in the Sierras to teach first grade. Seems like someone else's life. But I still remember getting really lost one night, going to a dinner party. I drove up and down highway 49, and I finally gave up. I called my friends from a gas station down the hill and cried and said I couldn't come. "No! We'll all stand outside and wave!" they told me. There was no more wonderful sight than this wacky group of missfits, waving at me in the forest.

I recently got the idea to make an album for each of my kids to document each play they are in. But I haven't been real successful in finding kits that deal with acting, plays, Shakespeare, etc. So, I'm going to create my own! It got me to thinking, am I the only one who would have a use for kits of this nature? And if you would also have a need for a kit or two of this kind, what specific things would you like to see in them? I would love any ideas or thoughts on this as I start my brainstorming process!
In the meantime here is your freebie for today!

Welcome back to the August 2014 Release. Kara here to share a project showcasing the new Flora & Fauna 2 stamp set as well as the Strictly Sentiments 5 stamp set. Flora & Fauna 2 is a set full of beautiful butterfly, hummingbird, and floral images.
I was blown away by the stunning watercolors Dawn shared on Instagram and Facebook using this set. While I'm building those skills I can still achieve beautiful results by stamping the images 'as is' to create a clean and simple design.
I stamped the 3 sizes of butterflies in several shades of PURECOLOR Dye Ink, slightly overlapping from largest {at the bottom} to smallest {at the top} to create the feeling of movement or flight.
I used the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from Strictly Sentiments 5 stamped in black ink to push the images to the background and make the sentiment stand out.
Recently, I have started to pay attention to the long neglected inside of the card. I added a single butterfly image and secondary sentiment to tie the inside and outside together.
Flora & Fauna 2 has a companion die set that will be available on 8/5/14 as well. While I didn't use the dies on this project, I did use them on another card I'm sharing on my blog today. I'd love for you to come by and check it out!
I hope you are enjoying the release so far. What's your favorite set?

Frequently Asked Questions
The Association of Information Security Professionals (AISP) is announcing the launch of the Qualified Information Security Professional (QISP) training programme.
The objectives of the programme are to raise the professional proficiency of information security practitioners in Singapore through training and qualification, and to build a critical pool of competent personnel in Singapore to handle, contain and manage cyber security threats.
The QISP programme supports IDA's second Infocomm Security Masterplan (MP2) to build Singapore's security preparedness and competencies in cyber security.
Every information security professional in Singapore or any person wishing to be trained in information security and has met the criteria should aim for the QISP qualification.
QISP training will equip participating professionals with broad information security knowledge and in-depth skills to handle, contain and manage cyber security threats. QISP qualification will ensure information security practitioners in Singapore are qualified for their job roles and they are recognized for their professional standards.
QISP professionals will be equipped with international best practices in information security as well as knowledge of Singapore-specific infocomm security laws and regulations. They will be confident to perform their information security roles competently in Singapore organizations, as well as in the larger international environment.
In addition, QISP professionals will also qualify for membership in the Association of Information Security Professionals (AISP) which will provide them further opportunity for education and skills upgrading in the information security profession.
The AISP is a professional body supported by the IDA. It aims to transform information security into a distinguished profession with qualification standards and career development programmes.
The QISP programme has just been launched. We certainly aim to establish a track record in raising professional proficiency and building a pool of qualified professionals. The training is based on a strong curriculum developed by the AISP and ISS. QISP-qualified professionals will benefit from comprehensive training that covers various skills sets required in information security practice and that includes international best practices in information security. QISP graduates will be qualified to perform their information security roles competently, in Singapore and in the international environment.
The Qualified Information Security Professional (QISP) course is jointly developed by the AISP and the Institute of Systems Science, the premier IT training institute in Singapore. Training will be conducted at the ISS.
The QISP is intended to be a complementary or additional training and qualification programme for information security professionals in Singapore. It is not a direct alternative for other training certificates. The training content does not totally overlap. The QISP training includes Singapore security-related laws and regulation so that graduates will be equipped to handle cyber security issues in the Singapore environment.
QISP professionals have another important advantage. QISP-qualified professionals with at least one year relevant working experience can qualify for membership in the AISP which will provide them further opportunity for education and skills upgrading in the security profession. AISP aims to transform information security into a distinguished profession with a recognized professional body, qualifications, established career paths and career development programmes. Members of the AISP will have access to a community of information security professionals providing formal and informal opportunities for interaction and knowledge exchange.
QISP trainees are currently eligible for NICF funding. For more information, please visit here .
The QISP training will have comprehensive content, including Information Security Governance, Risk Management, Information Systems Audit, Security Incident Management, Cryptography, among others. It will also include Singapore security-related laws and regulations.

Keen Category: Astrology Advice
Have you been spending too much time trying to get something right instead of something finished? Your quest for perfection might be endless if it were not for an intervention in the stars. Saturn, the planet of limitations, is going to be visiting the zodiac's sign of perfectionism: Virgo. This is a return visit for the ringed planet. Saturn usually spends about two and a half years visiting a sign and recently left Virgo to move on to Libra. Turning retrograde and appearing to move backward across the sky, Saturn will move back into zodiac Virgo on April 7 and will be there until it says goodbye for good (or actually for the next 27 years) and moves into Libra for an extended stay.
Wherever Saturn is in the zodiac, limitations occur. Because Saturn is in a sign for over two years, most people adapt to changing circumstances and learn to go with the boundaries that are being established by this plodding planet. It is when we do not adapt to Saturn's demands that this planet turns into the zodiac's manifestation of annihilation.
As planets move through the zodiac, they intensify the aspects of the signs they visit. Virgo is the sign of paying attention to detail and getting organized. At its extremes, this sign strives for precision and perfection. Saturn's limiting effect when in Virgo applies to our pursuits of perfection that border on the trivial and fussy. There is an old saying, "Good delivered is better than great pending." Saturn in Virgo punishes those who hold back delivering what they promise in order to achieve a perfection that is more likely than not just an illusion.
It is rare for Saturn to retrograde back into a sign after it has left. Consider this shirt visit to Virgo a "last chance" blessing for you to have a "do-over" on some situation in which you were recently engaged. Saturn was in Virgo from the beginning of September 2007 until the end of October of last year. Think back over that time period. If you can spot the areas in your life in which you sought a needless perfection and were rebuffed, you are about to get a chance to try again. It is time to deliver your best, flaws and all.
Saturn revisiting Virgo will allow you to focus on a workout routine in order to stay trim and in shape. Instead of making unreachable goals for yourself, this is a chance to make exercise fun and perhaps even a social event. Maybe it is a time to take a class and make new friends.
In trying to be a perfect parent or lover, you have not reached the impossible goal of being all things to all people. Saturn's new journey allows you a chance to define your relationship with kids and with a special romance.
Your home life is in serious need of reconsideration. Perhaps Saturn's initial visit to Virgo made the finances in your house a touchy subject – now is a better time to figure out the future. Redecorating projects that were overwhelming can be revised in a breeze.
Rigid attitudes in the way you communicate to people were to blame for so many miscommunications while Saturn first visited Virgo in 2007-09. April through July is your chance to cross some interpersonal bridges that you might have thought had been burned.
Finances have felt the brunt of Saturn's limiting powers for too long. The return to Virgo could give you a chance to become more disciplined with your spending. A revisiting to the way you use credit could be an eye-opener as late fees and interest may be sapping you.
Saturn in your sign was a severe lesson in understanding what it was that you earned. You might have been benefitting from unstable structures, be they relationships or employment. With Saturn's revisit, you can better see stability having been without it for so long.
Your intuition was sharp while Saturn visited Virgo, but the problem was your refusal to rely on it more. Letting the facts speak for themselves found you silenced more often than not over the past two years. You have a chance to get in touch with your hunches now. It is time to follow your gut.
Finding any way to hide from all the small talk became so difficult while Saturn was in Virgo. You might have actually gotten a little more sociable, but you will never admit that. The revisiting process allows you the chance to impress a possible lover, as you will know how to utilize some recent popularity to your advantage.
The big moment in your career has arrived yet again. You had some opportunities to make a name for yourself but may have been thwarted by details you overlooked. Recent regrets might have sharpened you up and the time to strike at the big prize has arrived sooner than you realized.
Saturn is the ruling planet of Virgo and what other people see as a limitation, the Goat knows as a methodical process of moving up in the world. Your love for a good time is legendary; the limits that Saturn set on your recreation while visiting Virgo probably taught you to appreciate the good times that can be had.
You had a good run over the past few years, enjoying the generosity of other people. But by the end of 2007, things got a bit cooler. Offers of assistance that used to be volunteered were no longer forthcoming. Saturn's revisiting of Virgo will give you the chance to see who your friends really are.
Partnership intensity defined Saturn's visit to Virgo. You learned the limits of what you could and could not bring to a union. Now you have a chance to add another dimension to the two of you. As your relationship grows, this is a great opportunity to add to the foundation to ensure future growth.

Be sure and check out our GIVEAWAY while you're here.
If you had asked me when I was seventeen what one of my favorite foods would be when I was twenty-seven, never in a million years would I have told you beef heart...
But here we are today. And it's true. Honestly, this recipe is the only way I've ever prepared beef heart because it just that good. I'm sure there are other delicious ways to eat it that I will get around to trying, some day...
So what does beef heart taste like? You might ask... Frankly, it tastes like the most delicious steak you have ever had. As long as the kebobs aren't overcooked, you can't even taste that organ-y flavor most people think of when they think "offal".
This recipe is my variation on Sally Fallon's in her book, Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats. I've changed the way the meat is cut, the spices as well as the cooking time. But credit is due for the inspiration.
This is one of our family's favorite meals to take camping. We marinate it the night before and then cook it up for dinner. We haven't met a friend yet who didn't love this recipe, no matter how skeptical they were before they tried it. There is something about the tanginess of the vinegar, mixed with the spices and the flavor the grill adds... mmm... I'm hungry just thinking about it!
All that to say, if you give it a try, I know you'll like it! Just make sure not to overcook the meat.
Beef Heart Kebobs
- 1 beef heart
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil (where to find)
- 1 cup raw apple cider vinegar (where to find)
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1.5 tsp Celtic sea salt (where to find)
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 Tbs. minced garlic
- cutting board
- large knife
- bag or bowl with lid for marinating
- metal skewers (where to find)
- vegetables for roasting (optional)
Directions: Remove any hard, fatty bits from beef heart. Cut into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes. Place in container for marinating. Pour over olive oil, vinegar, spices and garlic. Mix well. Place in refrigerator and marinate for 24 hours. Stir or shake every few hours if possible. Place kebobs on skewer sticks along with whatever veggies you would like to grill. Grill about 4 minutes to a side, or until meat turns a slightly darker brown. Enjoy!
Step-by-step instructions:
Remove any hard bits from the heart. Fat, gristle, tough membrane, etc:
Cut heart into 1/4-1/2 inch pieces:
Place heart and remaining ingredients in a bag or bowl and mix thoroughly. Marinate for 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
Place on skewers with optional vegetables. Enjoy with wine, of course.
Grill for 4 minutes a side or until meat turns a slightly darker brown. Better to under cook than over. Serve with sauerkraut. Best enjoyed out of doors with friends.
Waste not want not?

It's a little less overwhelming at the Harrogate show compared with the Festival Of Quilts. There's still some of the big sellers there and a few smaller ones too. Even the stalls that were at the Festival Of Quilts remain interesting and I often spot things I didn't see, perhaps because it's not quite as crowded.
Again, lots of fabric caught my eye and it was difficult to decide what to buy as I could have spent a fortune there. I bought some embroidery threads almost as soon as I got there. I had a good look round before committing to anything else. I looked for some fabric for binding my robot quilt and came close to buying some but I wasn't totally convinced. I think I'll leave it until I've done some/lots of the quilting as I'll have a better idea of the finished look then.
I was so tempted by lots of the Christmas fabric. I have quite a lot already so managed to stick to just one fat quarter, along with a Halloween spider web FQ.
As in previous years I was drawn to the Images Of Egypt stall. There's a wonderful mix of solids and spotty fabrics that are great for stash building. If you look closely, the packs do vary slightly and I managed to get a lovely pack of FQs in solid colours. I also went for a roll of 3" x 40" strips of hand dyed fabrics.
I also saw a lovely Halloween wall hanging at the Quilter's Quarters' stall. It was even better when I asked the price and was told that the other Halloween wall hanging was from the same panel. I snapped one up.

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A panda was born at the Taipei Zoo, the home of two of the rare animals which were donated to Taiwan by China in 2008, the Taipei City Government announced Saturday.
The zoo, located in the southern suburbs of the capital, announced that the panda named Yuan Yuan gave birth to a baby panda at around 8:05 p.m. Saturday. Television stations interrupted routine news programs and coverage of the Golden Melody Awards, also in Taipei, to report on the panda birth, the first ever in Taiwan.
China first offered the gift of Tuan Tuan, the father of the newborn, and Yuan Yuan in 2005, but as relations between the two countries were at a low ebb, the move did not take place. The government of then-President Chen Shui-bian saw the gift as a propaganda move to underline Chinese designs over Taiwan, which it does not recognize as a sovereign and independent nation. Even the names of the animals had a political connotation, with the term 'tuanyuan' meaning 'reunion.' There were also doubts about the Taipei Zoo's ability and preparedness for the reception of the delicate animals.
The government of President Ma Ying-jeou, which emphasized closer relations with Beijing, approved the transfer and the two pandas arrived in Taiwan in December 2008. Visitors to the zoo first had the opportunity to see the two rare animals during the Lunar New Year holiday in early 2009.
The move of the animals from China's Sichuan Province to Taiwan was surrounded by issues related to sovereignty, including the question whether the trip was domestic or international.
It was not immediately known Saturday when the newborn panda would be on display and which name he would be given.

"JACK THE GIANT SLAYER," starring Nicholas Hoult and Eleanor Tomlinson. Director Bryan Singer ("The Usual Suspects") adds all the carnage that the original fairytale "Jack and the Beanstalk" was sorely missing in this effective fantasy retelling, which pits naive young farm boy Jack (Hoult) against some seriously frightening giants. Aside from a few misguided stabs at bathroom humor, "Jack" provides some quite rousing fantasy entertainment, and its inexplicably underwhelming box-office performance stateside hopefully won't be held against it. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:54
Suggested retail price: $28.98; Blu-ray $35.99
"THE LAST EXORCISM PART II," starring Ashley Bell and Julia Garner. Ditching the found footage conceit that gave the original its immediate intensity, "Part II" favors a traditional approach that works surprisingly well. This one follows Nell (Bell, reprising her role) as she attempts to piece a relatively normal life together — no easy task, one supposes, for someone who's recently given birth to a demon baby. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:28
Suggested retail price: $30.99; Blu-ray $35.99
"MOVIE 43," starring Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry. Easily the worst reviewed movie of the year, "Movie 43" has the curiosity factor going for it if nothing else, with a wide array of A-listers gamely lining up to debase themselves in a cornucopia of scatological and perverse sketches. Best viewed as a modern "Kentucky Fried Movie" or "Amazon Women on the Moon," "Movie 43" isn't without cult potential viewed apart from the unanimous critical drubbing. Rated R. Running time: 1:34
Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $39.99
"QUARTET," starring Maggie Smith and Michael Gambon. After 50 years of enchanting audiences and critics alike in front of the camera, actor Dustin Hoffman is finally giving directing the old college try at the age of 75. But that experience well informs this wonderful dramedy, wherein we are invited to a retirement home designed exclusively for musicians: A lively, cantankerous lot made all the more upon the arrival of Jean (Smith), an aging diva and the former fleeting spouse of Reginald (Tom Courtenay, "The Golden Compass"), for whom unresolved emotions come immediately rushing back. Special features include a commentary from Hoffman. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:38
Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $39.99
"21 & OVER," starring Miles Tanner and Justin Chon. Last year we had "Project X," and this year it's "21 & Over,' a breezy enough hour and a half of young people drinking way too much and subsequently engaging in various sundry shenanigans, including but not limited to fighting with mascots and gluing stuffed animals to one another's genitals. Brought to you by the writers of the first two "Hangover" movies, "21 & Over" unsurprisingly plays much like a younger version of those films, and as such it has a certain giddy, profane appeal. Rated R. Running time: 1:33
Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $39.99
"THE HOWLING," starring Dee Wallace Stone and Patrick Macnee. The never adequately praised director Joe Dante ("Gremlins") shadowed B-movie kingpin Roger Corman for years before making his filmmaking debut with this 1981 horror favorite. An anchorwoman (Stone) is advised by her therapist to take a much-needed vacation at The Colony, a posh resort that would surely afford more effective refuge were it not for the fact that there are werewolves in attendance. Slyly sending up both psychiatric trends and horror tropes, Dante's first foray into filmdom is a low-budget wonder that has held up surprisingly well over the years. Special features include a commentary from Dante. Rated R. Running time: 1:31
Suggested retail price: $29.93
"SAFETY LAST!" starring Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis. All too often eclipsed by better-known contemporaries Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, the great Harold Lloyd made a legendary career from his unassuming nature, creating an overly confident but easily deflated nebbish that most anyone can relate to. So when unfavorable circumstances force him to have to climb a towering building for the purposes of a publicity stunt in this 1923 classic comedy, you really feel for the guy. The special effects were so impressive for the time that reportedly nurses were on hand in theaters to assist audience members suffering from vertigo. Special features include a commentary from critic Leonard Maltin and a feature-length documentary about Lloyd. Not rated. Running time: 1:14
Suggested retail price: $39.95
"AMERICAN MARY," starring Katherine Isabelle and Antonio Cupo. For viewers who can handle its casual approach to gore, there are macabre pleasures to be found in this effective offering from the Soska sisters, in which we meet "Mary" (Isabelle), a young medical student about to resort to stripping to make ends meet before being approached by Beatrice (Tristan Risk) to try her hand at body modification. It's an enterprise she finds herself exceptionally skilled at, enough to wield it as a form of revenge when needed. Rated R. Running time: 1:35
Suggested retail price: $14.99; Blu-ray $20.99
"STOKER," starring Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode. Marking the American debut of revered Korean director Chan-wook Park ("Oldboy"), "Stoker" is a brilliantly realized take on Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt." Misunderstood teen India (Mia Wasikowska) is forced to contend not only with the recent death of her father and cruel classmates, but with the unexpected appearance of her mysterious Uncle Charlie (Goode), an alternately seductive and off-putting man with unclear intentions who comes to stay with India and her oft-inebriated mother (Kidman). Rated R. Running time: 2:00
Suggested retail price: $22.98

My hubby always laughs at my addiction to self-help books. At the heart of it, he does not believe they help at all. They make you feel good and motivated for a brief moment after reading them, and then you continue your old ways.
In a way, he is correct. I have read tonnes of self help books this year: The Happiness Project, The 7 Habits of Effective People, Gravitas, Working with Emotional Intelligence, etc. I do not really feel that I have improved that much.
I have pondered why I feel the need to read self help books. Now that I have read several of them, I am also getting sick of reading such books. But when I have the chance to browse at a bookstore, I still tend to gravitate towards the "Self-Help Books" genre, or at those self help books disguised as management books.
After some reflection, I thought that at the heart of it is my desire to improve.
I would like to become a better person. A person with EQ. A person who is happy. A better leader. That, in itself, is not a wrong desire to have.
So why have I not become a better person?
One of the reasons is because I jump from topic to topic. I jump from the topic of EQ, to happiness, to presentation skills, to leadership, to general personal effectiveness. And of course, I do not actively practice the concepts that I learnt.
To be more accurate, I try to apply the concepts. But after a while, because I have nothing to sustain my actions, I revert to my old ways.
This brings to me to the topic of this blog! I have been trying to find a focus for it. I do not think it is sustainable if I just wake up every Sunday morning and try to squeeze a topic out for my blog. It needs some kind of focus.
Well, for now, I will let myself meander from topic to topic. Perhaps after a while, a theme will emerge by itself?

Here, to launch Today's sabbatical, are my three extraordinarily smart and talented Albuquerque granddaughters. And the furry one's quite beautiful as well.
Sara and Patricia…life after Cheerleading is approaching for Sara.
Another sabbatical in my blog family. Today will sleep awhile—maybe until the days dwindle down to a wretched few of Chief Weasel Trump. Then Rip Van Winkle-like Today will rise again because every day will be a bright new adventure in progressive thinking. Yeah, right.
I would delete this blog but then four years of life's more trivial pursuits would disappear. True they're of absolutely no interest to anyone, mostly even me (except for those glorious photos of cherry tomatoes sizzling in brown sugar and butter and of Luna, the wonder dog). But a journal's a journal; a diary's a diary and that's what Today has been. I suppose there's room enough for her to be tucked away in the Cloud or…

Modern tradition.
Kicking timeless up a notch, the De Marchi Classica Short-Sleeve Women's Jersey finds a perfect balance of classic heritage and modern tech. Aesthetically you might evoke thoughts of classic races from a century passed, but don't let the bold colors and historic white stripe fool you — the Classica was built to perform, with Sportwool construction that blends from one season to the next with natural wicking and support.
You're certainly not wrong if you find yourself thinking that the Classica closely resembles vintage cycling jerseys. The Classica was inspired by the golden age of cycling and has been slightly tweaked and altered for more modern demands. Not to mention, the prospect of cycling in thick, scratchy woolies brings forward a distinct discomfort that's similar to our Grandma's hand-knit gifts.
Regardless, its style is impeccable, and as such—you will be too. Flattery aside, the Classica isn't just a pretty face. Its regular cut and styling maintains a comfortable fit and feel, assuring comfort whether you're in the saddle or enjoying a warm, buttery cup of golden espresso delight.
To further its identity as a cycling staple, the Classica is fashioned with De Marchi's beloved Sportwool fabric, which consists of blended polyester and merino wool. Consequently, this premium fabric regulates temperature with ease, manages moisture efficiently, and dries quickly for enhanced convenience and performance. Meanwhile, the raglan sleeves promote a comfortable fit and three rear pockets to protect valuables and nutritional morsels—and for the record, that nip of amaretto doesn't count as electrolyte fuel, but we won't tell anyone about your stallion aspirations.
- Take timeless style to the next level with this tech-packed jersey
- Blended merino wool fabric wicks moisture and dries quickly
- Fabric is naturally odor-resistant to eliminate funk
- Regular fit maintains a comfortable feel and look
- Multiple pockets offer secure respite for necessities
- Item #DMA00A3

My tabletop is now enhanced with this 120x100cm green grass mat. The most important detail is that bases slide nicely on it so we don't have to pick them up each time for a move.
To celebrate the mat, we have played two Maurice games with the two armies I brought home with me. In the first, the attacking (sort-of-French) player quickly marched two of his columns to the objective and captured it. The game was won in three or four turns, with unfortunate musketry dice on the defender's part.
In the second, the struggle was more prolonged, lasting through the better half of the third action deck, ultimately ending in the French isolating two cuirassier units on the enemy right and two unlucky morale rolls. Curse the dice, but praise the mat!

An Orange in My Stocking
Merry Christmas
When I was growing up I always had a Christmas stocking. Hung somewhere in the house, usually the banister, waiting to be filled by Santa Claus. Except, my stocking wasn't filled with candy or small toys. Every year, when I would check its contents, it would be full of oranges and nuts, always in their shell. Sometimes, there might even be an apple in it. As a child, I found this to be rather curious. My friends didn't get fruit and nuts in their stockings. I was convinced something was wrong at my house.
Bishop Nicholas learned of a poor man with three daughters who had no dowries. And, without dowries, they could not marry. Bishop Nicholas took it upon himself to take three bags of gold coins and toss them down the poor man's chimney.....which somehow happened to land in the daughter's stocking that were hanging up to dry in front of the fireplace.
The bags of gold turned into balls of gold which now symbolize the oranges. Bishop Nicholas is often shown in pictures wearing a red ceremonial robe and miter, while holding the staff of a bishop as well as holding three gold balls, gold coins, or pieces of fruit. He was later canonized and made a saint. Thus we know him as Saint Nicholas.
So, we have him to thank for those wonderful oranges in our stockings on Christmas morning. They do fill out the toe rather nicely, I think.

T.R. Fehrenbach never minced words.
In 1998, the San Antonio historian and newspaper columnist told Texas Monthly: "I don't believe in social science or all those tables and statistics. All the great historians have been great writers. But most of the new ones write small things. Hell, I read three pages of their work and my eyes dull."
Fehrenbach, who died Dec. 1 in San Antonio of a heart condition at 88, is considered a dramatic literary craftsman. He did not write about small things. He despised "flabby multiculturalism." And whether you agreed with him or not, he was never dull.
His "Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans" remains the landmark history of the state 45 years after its publication in 1968.
"I love that book," said James Magnuson, the director of the Michener Center for Writers in Austin, whose latest novel is "Famous Writers I Have Known," which includes an encounter between Fehrenbach and James Michener. "Lone Star," he said is "a book I always recommend to incoming [master of fine arts] students if they want to learn about Texas. There have been a lot of revisionist takes on it, but there's not another book that has pushed it aside. People have quarreled about it, but Fehrenbach is still standing. He's the Muhammad Ali of Texas history."
Journalist and novelist Stephen Harrigan calls Fehrenbach "a sort of broad-focus narrative historian — like Francis Parkman, Bernard DeVoto or Doris Kearns Goodwin."
He praises Fehrenbach's "storytelling power, command of character and mastery of detail that can make history vivid and exciting" and calls "Lone Star" "a landmark work of Texas literature, an indispensable and compelling read."
The subjects that fascinated Fehrenbach were wide-ranging and eclectic. He also wrote influential books on the Korean War, Swiss banks, the Comanches and Mexico.
Born Jan. 12, 1925, in San Benito, Texas, Theodore Reed Fehrenbach Jr. had his lifelong interest in history sparked at age 15 while reading Edward Gibbon's "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." He moved with his family to California and graduated from Hollywood High School at 16. His education at Princeton University was cut short when he was drafted into the Army at 18 in 1943. After leaving active duty in 1946, Lt. Fehrenbach earned his degree in modern languages and literature from Princeton, remaining in the Army Reserve. After returning to Texas and working in the family agriculture business, he was called up and sent to Korea in 1952, where he saw front-line action as a first lieutenant with the 72nd Tank Battalion.
He was promoted to company commander and became a battalion staff officer and intelligence officer before leaving active duty in May 1953. He retired from the Army Reserve as a lieutenant colonel in 1964.
After Korea, Fehrenbach and his wife, Lillian, moved to San Antonio, where he worked in the insurance business and began to devote more time to his writing.
In 1961, Fehrenbach sold his first short story to the Saturday Evening Post, followed by sales of short stories and essays to other publications, among them Argosy, Atlantic Monthly and Esquire. Many, written under pseudonyms, were science fiction stories.
He began a weekly newspaper column in 1973 in the North San Antonio Times and moved over to the San Antonio Light in 1975. In 1980, the column began appearing in the San Antonio Express-News, where it continued until he ended work on it this August.
In all, Fehrenbach, who worked in a small office in the Alamo Heights neighborhood of San Antonio, wrote 18 nonfiction books, including the Korean War study "This Kind of War: A Study in Unpreparedness" (1963), "The Gnomes of Zurich: The Inside Story of the Swiss Banks" (1966), "FDR's Undeclared War, 1939-1941" (1967), "Lone Star" (1968), "Fire and Blood: A History of Mexico (1973) and "Comanches: The Destruction of a People" (1974).
"This Kind of War" remains on required reading lists for Army and Marines for officer education and for soldiers assigned to Korea. Gen. Colin Powell praised its "eloquent, sometimes painful description of the GIs who must bear the burden" of decisions made at high levels.
"Lone Star" became the basis of a 1986 PBS miniseries.
"I can think of only two books that dare to start out with the words 'In the beginning' — and the other book is T.R. Fehrenbach's 'Lone Star,'" said John Radziewicz, publisher of Da Capo Press, which printed the 2000 updated paperback. "He was a larger-than-life figure who wrote about larger-than-life topics, and his mastery of the subject and the language has ensured that his history of Texas will remain a classic for generations to come."
From 1989 to 1995, Fehrenbach was chairman of the Texas Historical Commission.
He is survived by his wife.
Bennett writes for the San Antonio Express-News and McClatchy Newspapers.

Meanwhile, customers such as Payless, Woolworth Australia and Best Buy are making use of some of the hundreds of new workflows already included in i2s Six Two supply chain software suite, Pallab Chatterjee, i2s president of Solutions Operations, said in a briefing for eWEEK.com at this weeks National Retail Federation Convention here.
For instance, discount shoe chain Payless was the first to take advantage of an "Excel Gathering" workflow that lets retail personnel continue to use their customary Excel spreadsheets for gathering data. The information is then funneled into Six Two for use in SCM (supply chain management).
Like many other retailers, Payless has found its staffers resistant to giving up the traditional spreadsheets in favor of newer data entry tools. "The Excel Gathering workflow is helping to wean them from the spreadsheets," Chatterjee said.
Payless initially used i2s software only for setting pricing during product liquidations, according to Chatterjee. But now, the shoe discounter is starting to deploy Six Two for pricing management throughout the product lifecycle. With the spring fashion season coming up, Payless will use the suite for planning Easter promotions.
As Chatterjee sees it, i2 has no head-on competition in the enterprise software market. "There are competitors in certain areas," he admitted. Retek and JDA, for example, compete against i2 in inventory management. Others compete in pricing management. "But we have no competitors for our MDM [Master Data Management], and none for Excel Gathering."
i2s MDM, the architecture behind the Six Two suite, is aimed at letting businesses introduce supply chain innovations while retaining their existing hardware and software infrastructures. "Some [other] vendors arent doing so well because they want customers to rip and replace instead," Chatterjee said.
Born from Content and Data Services, i2s data transformation and normalization business, i2s flavor of MDM uses an EAI approach for connecting to outside applications, along with data synchronization.
In the past, i2 has also been known for its transportation, logistics and merchandising software. "But [our] MDM is brand-new, and its been attracting a lot of attention," he said.

I am going to start reposting some of the older pieces that never made it to this site. Originally when I started channeling messages from the faeries, I sent them as a constant contact newsletter to a select subscriber list. Some have been posted and published in New Age Journal. I thank Robert, the editor, for all the continued support, and for helping me to share this information with the world.
Anyway, I do want them to be accessible to all without having to dig through your old emails, as well as to all the new subscribers who only have access to my blog and not my mailing list.
So over the next few weeks I will post them here.

BT's 80Mbps fibre broadband service is now available to ten million premises in the UK, with the fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) technology roll out "months ahead of schedule" according to the telecoms giant.
BT is also set to make fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband available on demand in all fibre-enabled areas from spring 2013 – meaning homes and businesses would benefit from speeds of 300Mbps and above in the future.
See also: Best home broadband deals
BT believes that a 90 percent fibre footprint would ensure the UK is a European leader in superfast broadband as homes and businesses across the UK would have access to speeds of up to 80Mbps. The current average speed in the UK is 7.6Mbps.
Broadband news, reviews and advice
BT has invested £2.5 billion in plans to make fibre broadband available to two thirds of UK premises by the end of 2014.
The company claims it has recruited hundreds of extra engineers in the past year to help with the fibre roll-out.
BT suggests that small businesses will benefit from the much faster broadband speeds on offer. This, it claims, has already been shown in Northern Ireland where fibre broadband is available to 89 per cent of homes and businesses due to a partnership between BT and the Department of Trade, Enterprise and Investment.
BT believes it is possible to replicate the success of Northern Ireland in the UK mainland with the help of.
BT is bidding for extra Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) funds in each region of the UK, and says it is prepared to invest further funds should it win them.
Currently BT is the preferred BDUK supplier in Rutland, has won the bid in Lancashire, and is bidding in other parts of the UK.
BT chief executive Ian Livingston said: "Our engineers have worked tirelessly this past year and BT has made a real commitment to the UK's infrastructure.
"Rolling out fibre is no easy task and so to have passed ten million premises in such a short time is fantastic. Our roll-out is one of the fastest in the world and our engineers deserve lots of credit.
"The UK is making great progress with fibre broadband. There are more than half a million customers already using the service and more than 60 ISPs trialling or offering services.
"This is a significant achievement given we only began selling services a couple of years ago. Momentum is building in the market and that can only be good for Broadband Britain.
"We already compare very well to other major European economies and given our plans, the UK can sprint ahead in the future."

I am female and I have a female body. I know! How retro! Weren't they last seen in biology textbooks from the 1950s? (My bleeding vagina says no.) I am writing this having just read a trans woman's response to Laurie Penny's recent article on trans rights the New Statesman. I am not interested in discussing that particular "controversy"; what interests (and angers) me is the following passage:
The British feminist media cadre — particularly its triumvirate of transphobes whose filter on current events is more or less penis shaped — has given Penny heaps of abuse. I will not link their statements, nor bother to once again speak their names, but I reckon you all know who I mean. And they've been utterly hostile to Penny solely for having critical thinking that is resistant to the nostalgic imaginations of feminism's nature-over-nurture iconification of the True Female Body.
It's hilarious, isn't it? Let's all have a laugh. Oh, those silly, silly TERFs, thinking that the female body is something that they, mere cis women, can define. How regressive! How conservative! That's not how it works. As the opening sentence of the blog post shows – describing "the blistering zap of laser against upper lip" – having "a female body" isn't having a womb and a vagina and all of the shit that comes with it. It is, on the other hand, having a hairless upper lip (a surprise to sufferers of PCOS, but never mind).
Few things make me viscerally angry but I read this and I can't help thinking "how dare you?" How dare anyone that it is okay to dismiss the reality of a female body with superiority, smugness and snark? How dare anyone who does not experience female oppression from birth ridicule those who try to locate and articulate it? How dare anyone imply the very act of describing the female body makes one complicit in the objectification to which it is subject (nostalgic … iconification)? To write something like that is cruel, mean-spirited and heartless. It pisses all over the abuses women and girls suffer every day because of the bodies they are born into. It erases the disjuncture between male fantasies of what a female body is and female experiences of having one. It sneers at feminists who passionately challenge essentialist beliefs about what female bodies mean.
The True Female Body was never a feminist fantasy; it was and is a patriarchal one. The True Female Body is fetishized, objectified, used and then rejected. That those who attempt to put a better narrative in its place – one that is based on flesh, blood and the humanity of women – should then be accused of patriarchy's own crimes is nothing short of shameful.
Female bodies are imperfect. If you do not have one, you will not know this. You may want one, but that is by the by. You can't erase someone else's existence because it isn't yours. There are things that females experience that you would not want. You will not, from the day you are born, be told to fear men because you are smaller, weaker and less valuable. You will not experience puberty as becoming a piece of meat, all tits and arse for others to devour. You will not endure the pain of endometriosis. You will never sit alone on a toilet painfully passing out the bloody clots of an embryo that didn't make it. You will never literally piss yourself laughing because that's what childbirth has done to your muscle tone. You will never go through a premature menopause. You will never know what it is like to be born into a body that is not supposed to shit, urinate, stink, fart, sweat, burp, grow hair in the wrong places, make too much noise or take up too much space, and which nevertheless does all of these things. You will never feel the weight of millennia of disgust for the hole that is between your legs. This is not idealisation. This is not iconification. It is the very opposite – a plea for the female body to be taken seriously, not as an object for others to describe, but as something that is inhabited and experienced by real, live human beings.
The female body is not an imagining. It is not an object to be picked off a shelf. It is not lip lasering or hormones or implants or restructuring. It is pain and blood and guts and strength. There are few things so misogynist as to dismiss all that women and girls go through with a smug, superior quip while simultaneously deciding — you, the expert — precisely which physical experiences do count as "female" (hairless upper lips? What do you think women are? Barbie dolls?).
You accuse feminists who disagree with you of "nostalgic imaginings". You write of "iconification". There is nothing nostalgic in granting female bodies status and meaning. There is nothing essentialist, muddle-headed or sentimental in defending bodies that have been viewed as disgusting, dirty and the source of all sin for millennia. There is nothing shameful in describing female experience of female bodies. Women are not the sum of their reproductive systems but this very fact – that they are HUMAN BEINGS and not just walking wombs – means they damn well have the right to talk about what their body is and what it means.
To treat women who seek to articulate their own physical realities as naïve, bigoted earth mothers, consenting to the hatred directed at their bodies simply for daring to admit these bodies exist, is a disgrace. To say "I am female and this means something" is not to say "I am what male observers of the female body throughout the ages have reduced me to". Not to be able to see this is out and out misogyny. It is hateful and it is not okay.

Moroccan jewellery
Visual artist, Jess Stephens, has launched a new blog about Moroccan jewellery.
There are several articles including the facts about Moroccan silver, Tuareg jewellery, Berber adornment including facial tattoos and hairdressing, and the Hand of Fatima.
A resident of Sefrou, Jess is also making her own Moroccan contemporary jewellery. She likes to use materials from her immediate surroundings and the current collection is an accumulation of jellaba buttons (common in her home town of Sefrou), metal beads from the south of Morocco, glass beads, wooden pieces, and other random findings from around Morocco. Bringing into play crafts, techniques and materials in her new collection, Jess is fired and inspired to work alongside traditional craft-makers and local women are employed to create some of the pieces. You can see more of the range at www.jessiculture.etsy.com.

The Holy Heart blossoms like a flower.
The difference between the Holy Heart and the Sacred Heart of Jesus is that the Holy Heart is not surrounded by thorns or pierced by daggers.
And while it may be that Love is crucified in this world, it is not because of Love that this happens.
Jesus was crucified for challenging the Pharisees and threatening the Romans by his popularity.
This is not because of Love.
This is because of fear.
Were Jesus able to allay the fears of the Pharisees and the Romans the result might have been different.
But claiming to be the Son of God was too much for the Pharisees and King of Kings was too much for the Romans.
I do not believe that God intended Jesus to be crucified.
I believe that God hoped the good news of unconditional love and forgiveness would spread throughout the world.
Instead He used the catastrophe of the crucifixion to show us that death is not the end.
The Holy Heart blossoms like a flower.

Bravehearts bagged the first prize. Above is their splendid collage.
This collage won Terminators second position.
And third prize went to team 'Gladiators'.
And this is the collage that I worked on. Splendid, isn't it!!! Yes, maybe so splendid that judges decided giving just one prize to this won't do justice, so they didn't award any prize to this one ;-)
BTW, we, Nevis, are really looking ahead to hire bright sales engineers. If you know someone in your circle who is bright and fit for this kind of job, feel free to get in touch with me.

A topic of today's post will be a program that specializes in strengthening the hips of a human body. This program is presented as a solution to a problem of having a lack of strength and energy when playing sports, either as an amateur or professional player.
Most people do not realize that hip flexor muscle group is one of the core muscle groups in a human body. They are responsible for 80% of our daily movements.
Even the most professional players in basketball sometimes undermine the importance of strengthening these muscles which affect the overall stats of a player.
One of the main selling points of this program as well is raising awareness about hip injuries and how tough they heal and that is why the program to unlock your hip flexors is something you should look out. This unlock your hip flexors review will help you see and decide whether you need it or not.
Let's talk more about the author of this program.
About Mike Westerdal- The author of the program
Mike claims to be a national fitness expert with years of experience in educating people through his websites and personal training. He also says that he is an Iron magazine contributor and that he knows how to reveal the power of hip flexors muscle group. Mike's main goal with creating this program is to help people unlock the true power of these muscles and to raise the awareness and importance of these exercises.
He believes that many physicians and personal trainers often time forget how important is to exercise this muscle group and how life-changing it can be if we decide to implement them.
Is this program that good and what's in it for you?
Today's modern society dictates our daily habits and making us spend a lot of time sitting at the desk at the position that is neither natural nor healthy. Many people believe that this doesn't leave any effect on them because the effects of this are not easily noticeable.
Most people even do not recognize the symptoms when they occur, and even if they do, they surely do not consider that an easy solution might be right in front of their noses.
What is strange when it comes to having tight hip flexors is the fact that this problem affects other muscles in your body. You may not realize that but having problems with lower back, circulation and feeling pain while walking are something that might be produced by tight hip flexors.
It is true that hip flexors are one of the key muscles in human body. They need to be properly stretched and exercised, in order to achieve better performance and have pain-free lifestyle.
Mike's program, in general, covers a lot of ground and it helps you with:
- Increasing strength and performance with a variety of different exercises that involve hips.
- Energizing your body by eliminating the source of the pain.
- Rapidly decreasingthe percentage of body fat.
- Realizing how aware you need to be of these muscles and their involvement in day-to-day activities.
- Eliminating all sources of pain and troubles that are in correlation with this muscle group such as nagging joint pain in your legs, back and hips, walking with discomfort, bad posture and even troubles falling asleep.
Like any other program on the internet, Mike's has a lot of pros and cons as well. Let's see some of those too.
- It is greatly covered and fully explained. Mike's course is 63-pages long, and most of the things he recommends are supported with facts that can also be confirmed by any medical professional.
- The program is really cheap.
- It includes a variety of exercises- dynamic & static stretches, muscle activation movements, core exercises and much more as well.
- It is created by a person who is a certified professional and who offers money back if you are not satisfied.
- The program is easy to follow, simple and it can be used by everyone.
- Some of Mike's selling points are overly exaggerated which makes him and his program seem shady at moments.
- There are some claims that can't be supported with facts and are in general stupid when used as a sales tactics.
Conclusion- Is unlock your hip flexors scam?
This program is not a scam. It is quite cheap, and it is worth the money because the author showed useful exercises that actually eliminate the pain and he did a great job explaining how and why you should use it. Some of his sales tactics look a little bit dumb because they are not supported with any scientific evidence, but that doesn't devalue the usefulness of these exercises.
