why would "pop" momand creater of the comic strip "keeping up with the joneses", create a phrase based on the joneses of new york city (frederic/lucretia), when the very town that he lived in on long island (cedarhurst), was founded (patented) by the long island joneses in the 17th century. the lineage of the new york joneses are hard to trace beyond the 19th century. it would seem that pop momand would have been well aware of the long and storied lineage of the long island joneses.

London: FW Go Big or Go Home
Lee Preston
A spotlight on the London Fashion Week catwalks from accessories' designers Anya Hindmarch and Sophia Webster – both featuring style that says Hello World, I've arrived!
Handbag guru Anya Hindmarch featured a kitsch Autumn/Winter collection. Models stomped in modern oversized coats emblazoned with some of our favourite 70s classic games – tetris and space invaders!
The bags took on their own life with several featuring eyes staring out at the front row. Among our favourites is the bag featuring a red space invader with a chained handle... Now that, my friends, is a statement bag.
>> See the full Anya Hindmarch catwalk photos HERE
On Day 4, Sophia Webster's surprise catwalk display could have been taken straight from a Tim Burton film. Quoting Beetlejuice on the invitation, the designs included gothic style mini dresses showing off her knee high laced stilettos.
Our favourites from the collection were the little clutches covered in satirical slogans embroidered onto speech and thought bubble shapes.
The wedding dress at the end of the show was flowing – with a long veil covering the face, it provided the perfect backdrop for Sophia Webster's 'Wifey for Lifey' bag - edgy and cute, the perfect combo for the modern bride.

Other notable Go Big moments from other designers included the ever-stunning Julien Macdonald with a show-stopping Day 2 catwalk of the A/W black and silver designs. Finishing with two mini models looking like little figurines from a wedding cake.
And Mary Katrantzou's catwalk featured sparkles, patterns and colours galore! We loved the adorable butterfly inspired dresses that featured some way through.
What has been your highlight so far? We can't wait to see what else appears later this week. If you are at LFW – make sure to send us photos!

My Easy DIY Facial Oil Blends
My recent favorite has been a blend of argan oil with frankincense and myrrh. It's what I call the wisemen's oil since it features 3 simple yet powerful and effective ingredients: argan oil aka liquid gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Argan oil contains antioxidants, vitamins a and e as well as oleic and linoleic fatty acids. This means that it can help blur fine lines and wrinkles, increase cell turnover and overall moisture, reduce inflammation and improve skins permeability. This last quality makes it ideal as an essential oil carrier. This is why I use it in my homemade facial lotion. I particularly love frankincense and myrrh for its anti-aging benefits. This trio has now become my favorite go-to blend for my night time facial oil. Night time is when I really like to bring in the big guns as the product will continue to deeply absorb throughout the night. I store this oil in an amber bottle and keep a bit of it in an amber eye roller for an eye serum/treatment that glides on effortlessly.
To make this, I simply add about 1 oz of cold pressed argan oil to my bottle and drop in 6-12 drops each of frankincense and myrrh. This varies depending on how strong you want your oil to be but it also depends on how high quality the essential oils you are sourcing are. Shake it up and you're done.
If you're looking to add more dimension to your skin care routine, check out my anti-aging eye cream and anti-aging serum.
Let me know if you're interested in a day time/natural sun protection facial oil blend.

All throughout the creation of this, whenever I would hold it up and ask what she thought, she continued to say she did not want to wear flamingos. I was discouraged, which is probably why it ended up taking so long to get it finished, but I kept hope alive. And I'm glad I did, because I sewed on the last button, held it up one more time, and it was like she was an entirely different girl - or I was sewing an entirely different top.
She loved it. "Is it a PINK FLAMINGO shirt? For ME?!?!? Yipp-EEE!!!" (She really does say yippee, by the way.) Crazy three year old. I don't even try to keep up.
So back to the pattern: it has the high low hem, the optional collar, and has no sleeves as opposed to the cap sleeves I used last time. How amazing is that racerback? I'm so obsessed.
The flamingo fabric itself is vintage - in that it is approximately as old as I am. My grandmother (not the one I'm always saying passed some fabric on to me, but the other one that I actually only have two or three special cuts of fabric from) used this fabric to make matching two piece bathing suits for my cousin and myself when we were little. She lined them with terry cloth but, yes, woven bathing suits are unfortunately as uncomfortable as they sound. Oh - and it fits the KCW wild things theme! Coincidentally as I cut this out weeks ago...but still...
So that's it for my KCW sewing this season. Not my most prolific but I'm still really pleased with the results. As is Lisi Loo's closet.
Linking up to KCW here.

Homeopathy Medicine
Chiropractic medicine is better known as complementary medicinal way of treating health issues. For various branches of natural medicine careers such as naturopathic medicine doctor, massage therapist, healing arts practitioner and energy healing practitioner, various alternative medicine schools offer diverse natural health courses so that one can get various educational permits for a career in the relevant professions.
This has resulted in the development of various music therapies that are used as an alternative medicine to help improve the health conditions of various patients, It has been found that the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual aspects of music have a very positive effect on patients and it cats as a medicine in providing them relaxation form various distressful situations.
From his eyes that had seen a stainless steel pen fall from the pocket of a man on a fast gallop on the street, late for work, he had called out to him as he retrieved it from the street corner for him, the man had turned, looked at him and the offering and shook his head after seeing his pen clasped in dirty hands and walked on, to now in front of these wealthy and important people, all under the same majestic canopy.
Remember that the first step to becoming a doctor is getting into medical school, and the first step in preparing for that is articulating why you want to study medicine. Physicians whose primary professional focus is hospital medicine are called hospitalists in the USA and Canada The term Most Responsible Physician (MRP) or attending physician is also used interchangeably to describe this role. The term Internal Medicine comes from the German term Inner Medicine, a discipline popularized on the Germany in 1800s to describe physicians who combined the science of the labratory with the care of patients.
Medicine safety is a responsibility that is held jointly by several organisations, the pharmaceutical companies that develop and produce the medicine, the regulatory agencies that approve the use of the medicine, the medical practitioners who prescribe the medicine, the pharmacists that dispense the medicine and finally the patients that take the medicine or the carers that give the medicine to the patient they care for.

Art is war -Germany day 6
Woke up. Breakfast with the team then a morning devotional together. Took a train to a very lost part of town and began a prayer walk from 10:00a – 12:30p.
The prayer walk was in a town called Friedrichshain. It has what they call Squat houses which are Rent free houses for easterners to all temporarily live in community while they waited for the perfect opportunity to escape to the west. It is a very unusual scene and I saw people completely covered in tattoos face included. It accepts all Alternative lifestyles. Some descriptions of the area: creative artistic tolerant punk Graffiti Lawless anarchy antichrist atheist.
On One side of this open green space park you might see a family with kids playing and on the other side drug deals are happening in the wide open plain view.
We all took time and went up and down the street Praying walking and talong photos. I was really excited to see all of the artwork on the buildings and it was inspirational to me.
We stopped in an area and circled up to worship with music and pray for the area. Very powerful and moving.
Stopped for lunch at a world famous burger joint called BURGERMEISTER that used to be a public restroom "water closet " – it was a good burger.
Afterwards we went to see one of the largest preserved sections of the Berlin Wall that is still standing. Our group t-shirts were each designed to look like some of the most famous pieces of art on the walls.
We all searched out ours and we each stood & took individual pics of our shirt design. There were some sections of the wall that were fenced off for certain artists to graffiti on. The most famous paintings painted on the 20th anniversary in 2009 & are being asked to recreate those again today because they have been covered by other graffiti since then. the fences in front of the wall kept people from messing with the art in progress.
This section of the wall was MUCH LONGER than I expected. Amazing.
We then headed to Alexander platz again for 4 performances. Each one was awesome and special in its own way. On the third one we switched things up. We did the Cupid shuffle once and then I painted. Matt L. shared his POWERFUL testimony and the gospel and we all went out into the crowd to have conversations. Many seeds were sown and several people were saved on the spot!! One lady in particular started out very angry and yelling at us and within 15 minutes she was completely different and asked "how can I have this Jesus in my life?" Hallelujah praise God…. Our team led her to Christ right there and it was beautiful.
We went to dinner and had our daily recap meeting at the hotel. Long day but really rewarding hard work for the Lord.

Does anyone know how to view data which is saved in an Infopath formand promoted to a list? I need data that is embedded in a form'sdetail group which is not promoted to the list. Using SPFileCollectionand SPListItemCollection I've found some metadata (the number of fieldsin the form, for example), but I don't see the complete set of XML datain either one. Am I overlooking a method or something?
Fields from the InfoPath form that are promoted will be available in theSPListItem object as columns. Fields form the InfoPath form that are notpromoted must be read by reading and parsing the InfoPath XML file that isstored as the attachment of the SPListItem. Take a look at the following BLOGentry.weblogs.asp.net/.../retrieving-attachment-spfile-ob\ject-from-the-share-point-list-item.aspx
I tried SPAttachmentCollection, but SharePoint throwsan error because I am dealing with a document library, and theSPListItem member Attachments property does not apply to documentlibraries. It returns an ArgumentOutOfRangeException exception ifapplied to a document library.I also can't use XmlDocument to do a document.Load(doclocation),because I get authentication errors. If I do this: Console.WriteLine(oListItem.Xml.ToString()) it displays the metadata with guidsinstead of xml tags.Does anyone know of an InfoPath Namespace that can expose XML so Ican read it from a document library?
why not just load the form XML and use XQuery to grab the underlying data thatyou need?
The problem is I can't read the form XMLfrom this document library because I can't find an object that hasthe authority to read it. Any ideas?
Form libraries are based on Document libraries, so you need to use theobject model calls for a Document Library item instead of a generic listitem. Take a look at SPListItem.File(msdn.microsoft.com/.../...ft.sharepoint.splistitem.file.aspx ) and SPFile(msdn.microsoft.com/.../...ft.sharepoint.spfile.aspx ) which correspond to the actual contents of a document/form in alibrary.
I finally found a link that explained the final piece of the problemI was having pulling the xml out of doicuments in a documentlibrary. The simple answer: I needed to add "?noredirect=true" tothe end of the link, as follows:[sharepointservername.listname.documentname.xml+"?noredirect=true"]With this simple addition to the link url, I am finally able to getthe InfoPath XML detail group and pull the detailed financialinformation in our requisitions into SQL, and then kick back and takea vacation in Bermuda!Here is the full story with the exact same problems I was having:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/f3d306da-9e1f-45c8-9ce1-28ae3f2e1c50/

When you think viral videos, you think about "Charlie Bit My Finger" or "The Evolution of Dance." You don't usually think about "viral commercials" by brands, but that's exactly what happened twice over the past couple weeks with commercials from Dove and Kmart. Dove's "Real Beauty Sketches" commercial enlisted the help of several ordinary women and a forensic sketch artist to conduct an experiment on how women see their beauty compared to how others see their beauty.
Dove's Real Beauty Sketches commercial struck a chord with men and women around the country. Where every other beauty brand is convincing women they need their products to be beautiful, Dove is telling women they're more beautiful than they think they are already. A clever and innovative concept that flies in the face of the way beauty brands have always marketed to their target audience.
Their unconventional idea worked out well for them. Between all versions of the commercial, it's racked up almost 32 million views on YouTube in less than 2 weeks. Pretty staggering, considering that uploading to YouTube didn't cost Dove anything, and resulted in 32 million intentional views of a three to six minute long commercial. That's a much better return on investment than paying for ad space for a 30 second TV commercial reaching 30 million people who have the power to mute, fast forward, walk out of the room, or tune it out.
Another viral commercial that has gained a lot of attention this week is K-Mart's tongue in cheek "Ship My Pants" commercial. The commercial hasn't even aired on TV yet, and it already has almost 16 million views on YouTube in two weeks.
The humor is sophomoric and may not appeal to everyone, but putting the commercial on YouTube instead of TV gives Kmart a lot more flexibility to reach the people that will find it funny and really make an impact.
If you have an innovative or clever idea, don't sit on it because you don't have the budget to air it on television. Make it happen! Consult with a video production company like Talking Head Studio about how to make your great idea happen, and take advantage of free platforms like YouTube to boost profits and raise awareness for your business

This just in from my pal Susanna Forrest, a British writer based in Berlin and with a book in the pipeline "about ponies," including the eating of them as far as I can gather.
She sent me this piece of vintage advertising.
I know that to the pure in thought all things are pure, but since I imagine that everybody who reads this blog has a mind like a sewer, I think I can allow you all to draw your own tawdry conclusions.

20 March 2016: Palm Sunday.
The Conventual Mass is sung in Latin at 10.00 as usual. It begins with the Blessing and Procession of Palm Branches. The Gospel of this Mass is the Passion according to St. Luke, read by three Priests in English. Mass on Palm Sunday at Pluscarden normally lasts a little under two full hours.
24 March 2016: Maundy Thursday.
Mass of the Lord's Supper is sung in Latin at 7.00 p.m. It includes the "mandatum" or washing of feet by Fr. Abbot. At the end of Mass the Blessed Sacrament is solemnly transferred to the Altar of repose in the Lady Chapel, and the Principal Altar is stripped. The community then sings Compline. After that, there is an opportunity for a vigil of watching in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament until midnight.
5 March 2016: Good Friday.
The Good Friday Liturgy begins at 3.00 p.m. The Passion Gospel according to St. John is sung in Latin: leaflets with translations are provided for all. The Intercessions are sung in English; all other Chants in Latin. The wooden Cross is shown and venerated, the Reproaches sung, and Holy Communion is given. The Good Friday liturgy at Pluscarden normally lasts somewhat under two full hours.
At Compline on Good Friday (7.45) the Relic of the True Cross is venerated.
26 March 2016: Holy Saturday.
The Paschal Vigil at Pluscarden begins at 11.00 p.m., with the ceremony of the Holy Fire outside the Church, and the lighting of the Paschal Candle.
The Exsultet, or Easter Proclamation, is then sung by candlelight in Latin.
At Pluscarden all the readings of the Vigil, without any omission, are read, interspersed by the singing in Latin of the ancient Tracts.
Bells are rung for the singing of the Gloria; and after the reading from St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, the Alleluia is solemnly intoned, on successive rising notes.
In the absence of a baptism, Holy Water is blessed for the renewal of Baptismal promises by all, and Mass then continues as normal.
The Paschal Vigil is the most solemn and important liturgy of the whole year. At Pluscarden it normally ends at around 0145. All are very welcome to attend.
27 March 2016: Easter Day.
The Conventual Mass for Easter Day is sung in Latin at 10.00 as usual. Weather permitting, it begins with an outdoor procession. It normally lasts around one and a half hours.
A Priest is normally available for confession before each of these principal liturgies. But confession can always be asked for by anyone at any time. Please press the front door bell of the monastery, and simply ask for confession.

Big Wednesday lands the Triumph International South Africa account
Issued by:
Big Wednesday
Big Wednesday, the Cape-based integrated advertising agency which launched just under a year ago, has acquired yet another blue chip account, Triumph International South Africa account.
The agency, who pitched against a group of more established, larger agencies for the account, now boast Motorola, Triumph, Sloggi and Lecol as key clients, with a host of other creative projects for leading brands also being implemented.
Big Wednesday is made up of a team of ten (up from two since inception in August 2009) highly talented individuals with a combined wealth of traditional, strategic and digital brand experience. Filon Ardavanis, agency MD, believes the agency's ability to turn projects around quickly, combined with their experience in digital platform communications is what sets them apart, 'Big Wednesday offers the necessary credibility and big brand experience that larger, more traditional agencies can, but critically, we offer the latest digital strategic and creative expertise'.
More on Big Wednesday
Big Wednesday is a full service integrated advertising agency born in the digital age. The agency offers clients a powerful combination of seasoned strategic brand expertise, along with specialist digital know-how, culminating in world class creative across all platforms.

Columbus, Ohio, NewsTrain, Sept. 20, 2014
Please join us in Columbus, Ohio, for a daylong NewsTrain on Saturday,
Sept. 20, 2014. Sessions include maximizing your use of social media, improving
your video storytelling, and generating better data-driven enterprise stories.
Please email Teresa Cooper at email@example.com to join the waiting list.
What You Will Learn
1:10-1:20 p.m. Break
1:20-2:35 p.m.: Efficient Video Story Forms for Digital Platforms Many newsrooms start out shooting video for digital platforms that look like TV-news segments. But there are other video story forms, including some that are quicker to produce and others that will have a longer shelf life. Instructor Kathy Kieliszewski gives examples of video story forms and standards for each. She also discusses how newsrooms can improve planning and execution of the different video story forms. Bring your smartphone for the exercise.
Mandy Jenkins is the editor of the open newsroom at Storyful and former managing editor of Digital First Media's Project Thunderdome, where she oversaw the national video and data journalism teams and worked with local newspapers on special projects and social media strategy. Jenkins was previously social news editor for politics at The Huffington Post and coordinated the company's citizen journalism program, OfftheBus. She also worked as the social media editor for Washington, D.C., local news startup TBD and served in several roles involving social media and online news for the Cincinnati Enquirer and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. She is a board member of the Online News Association and a journalism instructor at Georgetown University in Washington. @mjenkins
Kathy Kieliszewski made her first piece of multimedia with an eight-track player, a cassette tape, a vinyl record and a bunch of still pictures cut out of teen magazines. It was 1986, and she knew then she wanted to tell stories for a living. More than 25 years later, she's still telling stories as the director of photography and video at the Detroit Free Press and a four-time National Emmy Award-winning journalist. She oversees the video and photographic efforts of a staff of 15 photographers and editors. Kathy's most recent endeavor includes co-founding the Freep Film Festival, a new Free Press documentary film festival, to showcase films about or relevant to Detroit and Michigan. She is the producer of a feature-length documentary, Packard, The Last Shift, about one of Detroit's most notorious abandoned factories. @kkieliszewski
Jill Riepenhoff has worked at The Columbus Dispatch since 1985 and as a projects reporter since 2004. She has investigated issues ranging from naughty teachers to naughty mortgage brokers to naughty landlords and, most recently, naughty guardians - those charged with caring for mentally incompetent adults. She also enjoys digging into sports and has written extensively about the dark sides of youth, high school and college athletics. @JRiepOur Donors
NewsTrain's 2014 donors include The Ethics & Excellence in Journalism Foundation, The Associated Press, The APME Foundation, The McClatchy Co., The Gannett Foundation, Scripps Howard Foundation, GateHouse Media, APME past and present board member donations and The Seattle Times.

A rose by any other name might smell as sweet, but surely it would seem a little bit different if we knew it as a "puddingwife" or "slippery dick."
Thankfully roses escaped that fate, but these two fish weren't so lucky:
How about the slippery dick? What did it ever do to you, science? #stupidcommonnames pic.twitter.com/ts0FfQYV82— Sarah Keartes (@sarahkeartes) September 1, 2015
Puddingwives and slippery dicks of the world are finally getting some long-deserved sympathy on Twitter, thanks to the latest in a recent string of trending sci-humor hashtags. On the heels of #CuteOff, #JunkOff, #FieldworkFail and #distractinglysexy, marine biologist and blogger David Shiffman made waves this week by challenging scientists and naturalists on Twitter to list #StupidCommonNames for animals:
Ok scientists & naturalists, it's time for a new hashtag game. #StupidCommonNames . List animals with stupid common names. Photos encouraged— Dr. David Shiffman (@WhySharksMatter) September 1, 2015
All species have a formal, Latin name that's informed by international standards. Although these can be whimsical — sometimes honoring celebrities from President Obama to SpongeBob SquarePants — the rules of binomial nomenclature help keep them relatively descriptive. But this rigidity also keeps such names a bit dry for everyday use, so people have given colloquial names to lots of familiar species. Some of these predate the 18th-century advent of binomial nomenclature, and some are just a mix of linguistic necessity, creativity, laziness and absurdity.
Halichoeres radiatus or Halichoeres bivittatus don't exactly roll off the tongue, for example, so it's no surprise we've given those fish simpler titles. But while their common names may be less of a mouthful, they offer little information about the fish themselves. Halichoeres radiatus is more commonly known as the puddingwife wrasse, or simply "puddingwife," a memorable yet baffling moniker. At least Halichoeres bivittatus' nickname, slippery dick, conveys that fish's knack for slipping out of human hands, even if it inevitably brings out the third-grader in all of us.
And it gets weirder. Some species' common names are downright deceptive, like the geoduck, which is a clam, not a duck. Or the bombay duck, which is a fish. Or the African pygmy goose, which is a duck. There are interesting stories behind misnomers like these, revealing our jumbled efforts to categorize the world around us. But as Shiffman and others have explained, the goal of this hashtag isn't necessarily to dissect or disparage "stupid" names — it's just to point out how odd or amusing they are. And in that spirit, here are some of the best examples so far:
Mudpuppy is not a mammal and prefers rocky substrates to muddy ones #stupidcommonnames #amphibian pic.twitter.com/PCk0mn9lij— Molly Grace (@mollykgrace) September 3, 2015
Common Nighthawks are rare diurnal flycatchers. It's wrong three times in only two words. #stupidcommonnames— Andrew Middleton (@EcoAndrewTRC) September 1, 2015
#StupidCommonNames is my new favorite hashtag. @WhySharksMatter pic.twitter.com/DRqRfEEKog— Rosemary Mosco (@RosemaryMosco) September 1, 2015
As far as #StupidCommonNames is there anything worse than "bass" - multiple families, fresh/marine - random fish=bass pic.twitter.com/Hhz3PeCVyJ— Prosanta Chakrabarty (@PREAUX_FISH) September 1, 2015
Vampire squids aren't vampires OR squids http://t.co/TBUIhqNmsT #stupidcommonnames pic.twitter.com/cl2YYoBMP6— Rachel "The Yellow Dart" Feltman (@RachelFeltman) September 2, 2015
And finally, one of our species' most infamous misnomers: the pineapple.
#StupidCommonNames the pineapple which is not related to pines nor apples pic.twitter.com/NDaoA36afE— Dr. Geeky Girl Engineer, P.E. (@gkygirlengineer) September 1, 2015
Don't feel sorry for the slippery dick and his ilk, however. Their strange names are just relics from a simpler time, and they're mostly harmless. If any word becomes confusing or outdated enough, language will eventually evolve to correct it.
And for now, these stupid common names are bringing a wealth of publicity to some otherwise obscure species. While Halichoeres bivittatus and radiatus might deserve more dignified titles, the fish have generated more buzz on Twitter this week than most of their brethren in the Halichoeres genus. (Halichoeres means "salt pig" in Greek, by the way. Sometimes even scientific names can be kind of stupid.)

Town resident Ellen Crovatto, prior to joining New Canaan Library as its development director, spent a career in investment banking.
She worked 12 years on Wall Street and the last part of her career was spent raising private equity capital for investing in the former Soviet Union.
"My role was to invest and raise half a billion dollars for the very first early stage investment in Russia in vouchers," Crovatto recalled on a recent morning.
And in that role, she crossed paths—at conferences, for example—with Bill Browder, the founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management who would go on to publish the nonfiction bestseller "Red Notice," subtitled "A true story of high finance, murder, and one man's fight for justice."
An absorbing book that is, as the back cover says, part "financial caper," as well as "crime thriller" and "political crusade," "Red Notice" tells the story of Browder's intrepid and freewheeling professional entry into post-Soviet Russia, launch of Hermitage and subsequent clashes with corrupt Russian government officials and oligarchs, punctuated by the death of his own attorney, Sergei Magnitsky (whom Browder calls "the bravest man I have ever known" in a photo caption).
Next month, thanks to Crovatto's connection to him, Browder will come to New Canaan for a special library-organized event. Browder will appear Nov. 30 at the New Canaan High School auditorium—registration requests are required.
Browder knew who Crovatto was because she had success in raising capital for investment in Russia, and "then he went on to do it with Credit Suisse First Boston," she recalled.
"I eventually got out of the business for a variety of reasons, family among them. But when I heard about this book and I understood how important his role was in the creation of the Magnitsky Act," Crovatto recalled, she "understood immediately that that was shorthand for this sort of counterpunch that the government had for Putin."
She referred to the bill that President Obama signed into law five years ago, recognizing and punishing the Russian officials who killed Magnitsky while in custody in 2009. The law emerged in the news again this summer when the New York Times reported that Russian officials had met with Donald Trump Jr. during the 2016 presidential campaign to discuss it—as well as U.S. adoption of Russian children, which the former Soviets banned in retaliation for the Magnitsky Act—in exchange for promised damaging information on then-Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
"And Bill had started to raise his profile a bit and I just had sent him an email and I said, 'Hey remember me from years ago' and 'Would you consider coming to talk to us, we would love to have you here and here's what we could do.' And he said 'Sure.' "
His appearance fits nicely into the library's approach to programming—which Executive Director Lisa Oldham said mirrors its approach to collections.
"When we think of a collection of books, we are looking to have representation of all the areas of knowledge in the collection and we approach programming the same way," she said. "So, for example, having a speaker on human rights and finance is really important. We understand our audience is extremely well educated and hungry for really good quality content. So the team has as its goal making sure that we are getting the most interesting speakers on the widest range of topics that we possibly can."
Crovatto noted that the library has taken the themes of Moscow and Russia and expanded them throughout the entire month of November.
The library's annual Literary Luncheon—its largest fundraiser, which sees 400 guests go to Woodway with an author—this year features Amor Towles, author of "A Gentleman in Moscow."
"It's read widely by all kinds of book groups," Crovatto said. "We are practically already sold out and it's quite a big deal."
Together with Browder's talk, the Literary Lunch—to be held Nov. 2—is a kind of bookend, Crovatto said.

Yes! I'd love to be emailed when a new, high quality document is available for my Peugeot 108. My email address is:
The Peugeot 108 is a city car, launched by the French manufacturer Peugeot in March 2014, at the Geneva Motor Show, with sales expected by summer 2014. It is related to the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo, again sharing the same chassis, engines, transmissions and electricals. Cars are built in the same factory, situated in the Czech Republic.

The Vision
No more special than the Church down the street, City Life was birthed out of joy. We are the product of City Life Church in Wichita, KS, who decided to unselfishly send people and resources to San Diego for the purpose of sharing God's love with San Diego.
Unique in form from other churches and similar in devotion to Jesus.
A church that desires to be for the City. People who encourage each other as we seek to draw attention to Jesus.
Equipping the believer to share the saving love of Christ with all they come in contact with and enjoying Him together.
We desire to be a multi-ethnic congregation that reflects the beauty and diversity of our city.
1. Sunday morning.
Sunday mornings we gather together to sing songs to God and learn from the Bible. That might sound kinda boring, but it feels pretty exciting to us.
2. Multi-Ethnic diversity.
We believe the church is best when it is as diverse as the community. Southeast San Diego is dense and diverse, which creates the perfect recipe for a woven tapestry of a church. When Christians follow Jesus our loyalties change. We celebrate our ethnicities but willingly bend for each other when gathering together on Sundays or meeting in homes. We believe our willingness to treat each other as more important than ourselves tells the world about whom we follow. More Here:
3. City groups
Our hope for city groups is as our church expands so our city groups expand to neighborhoods throughout San Diego. (Hopefully near you!) City groups find a local mission, school or local need and serve them once a month.
We also have meals together once a month. We try to keep those meals as not churchy as possible.
We try to keep these groups under 20 but they can fluctuate over during certain seasons.
4. Growth groups.
We encourage same gender groups to meet throughout the city at times that work for them. We have a written prompt so anyone can take anyone through the Bible. These groups pray for each other and encourage each other. They should never be larger than five.
5. Simplicity.
Throughout the year we do other things like conferences and special events, but not very many. Mostly because we don't want church bogging you down. We want you to grow closer to God, find friends, encouragement, and accountability in the Church. But we still want you to spend time with people outside the church and if your schedule is packed, you'll end up becoming an awkward churchy person. We don't want that for you, or anyone
City Life willingly partners with the Southern Baptist Church for networking purposes and mutual goals of seeing the gospel transform everything.

One of the advantages of building your own computer is that you can pick and choose all the components to deliver the performance you want. The problem is that you are spoiled for choice with the variety of components, such as computer motherboards, that you can choose from.
It is important to choose correctly when buying computer motherboards, since the motherboard will dictate what options you have with the rest of the devices you will need in the computer.
The CPU is the heart of your computer system, and ultimately controls everything else. When you buy computer motherboards, you can buy them with a CPU already on board. Alternatively, you can source and fit your own CPU. However, you must source a CPU that is compatible with the motherboard.
There is a temptation to go and buy the fastest, newest CPU, but you should really give some thought as to what you will be asking your computer to do, and then buy enough power to handle those tasks with maybe a bit extra left over. The more modern and powerful a CPU is, the more it will cost. If you are into 3D gaming, then buying power is your best option. In contrast, if you intend to use your computer to run office type applications or just to surf the Internet, you can save money by buying a lower specification CPU.
You need to analyze your total requirements before researching motherboards. You must know what devices you will be connecting so that you can narrow down your choice to those motherboards that have the physical capability to let you attach your devices. Do you want multiple USB connections, or can you get by with just a couple?
If you are upgrading an existing motherboard, you will need to get one that is compatible with your existing CPU, RAM, and other devices. Otherwise, you will end up having to replace these as well.

Book Review – "Echoes of Sherlock Holmes" eBook was published in 2016 and is a compilation of short stories inspired by the tales of Sherlock Holmes.
I received a galley of this novel for review through https://www.netgalley.com. I categorize this novel as 'PG' though there is some violence. With several Short Stories the settings vary widely. I thought that these were OK stories for the most part. My favorite was 'Raffa', where an actor portraying Sherlock Holmes on a popular TV show is approached by a little girl for help. I am not a fan of Short Stories, but I do read almost everything I see pertaining to Sherlock Holmes. I give this Short Story collection a 3 out of 5.
My book reviews are also published on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/31181778-john-purvis).

Much has been said about the law of attraction and some have called it "the secret". However, this topic is only a secret for those that didn't know it yet as it has been mentioned and used for thousands of years.
Most of the information is kept under the cover of faith and religious believe, and many have used this knowledge to control people and lead them within political agendas; others have used it for personal gaining while hiding it from everyone else.
Whatsoever is the case there's still plenty to learn about the law of attraction or the law of dream manifestation.
Most books discussing it will show strategies, techniques and methods to obtain what we wish for in our life but they still hide the main secrets.
These Authors show us what to do but not how it works, why it works or the purpose of its existence.
After decades of personal studies on spirituality, a simplification within a specific theory was possible to explain more than anyone ever said about this issue.
This book doesn't intend to represent any religious dogma in particular and was written based on the insights from several spiritual believes, ancient and modern, as well as known and secret to the public.
Religion promotes a life philosophy and, although very misleading, also talks about universal truth.
This paradigm is being noticed by modern science, which in some fields attests the dogma and in others reveals its fallacy.
We're now much closer to know what is true, false or merely half-true.
Quantum Physics, for example, is still at its starting point but much has explained already.
Willing to describe a more complete understanding matching all these subjects, the Author will here reveal what he knows with a reasonable and humble perspective based on personal experiences.
This book will not make any promises regarding becoming a millionaire or famous and none of the theories here exposed are immune to failure.
Instead, it will explain how personal and spiritual growth matches the law of attraction and how we can understand life and the changes in our reality better while applying the necessary responsibility we must have as the spiritual beings that we are.
The following chapters are supported by the Author's background and studies in Religious Societies, Greek Philosophy, Chinese Philosophy, Modern Psychology and Psychopedagogy, related to the mechanism of life and the anatomy of the spirit, as well as these sources' acknowledgement in what can be applied to the law of attraction.
The theory presented is complete, flexible, simple and practical, allowing an easy assimilation to any lifestyle.
With this knowledge the reader will have the power to change reality and manifest his own desires, while understanding all the dynamics involved in such process.
The major success of the first edition wasn't expected but the Author took into consideration all kind opinions and uplifting reviews to improve this second edition and make it even more powerful and accessible to anyone.
You have now in your hands a book that has been recommended by famous Entrepreneurs as being in the same level as Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" and Wallace D. Wattles "The Science of Getting Rich", both books that inspired the movie "The Secret" and all the speakers in it. But also a book that climbed rapidly into the Bestsellers list of Amazon soon after being published for the first time.
This is truly the most revealing book about the Secrets behind "The Secret".

Selma Cherry, otherwise known as Dennis Mitchell, sits backstage before his performance during the 2015 Ventura County Pride's "Pride Beach" event. This event took place at Promenade Park in Ventura, Calif. on Aug. 22, 2015. Mitchell has been performing for 10 years and does occasional shows at Paddy's. "It was such an honor to perform at Pride, but when they're able to afford bigger LA acts, they won't need me anymore."
Mitchell goes through his wig collection stored in his Ventura, Calif. home garage on Oct. 5, 2015. "It started off as a Halloween thing. I occasionally perform at Paddy's, but I don't like doing all of those death drops and other stuff that younger drag queens do. I mean, I'm 55 years old. I like doing simple movements."
Mitchell looks at an old dress in his Ventura, Calif. home on Oct. 5, 2015.
Mitchell takes off one of the dresses he wore to Pride back in August. This was photographed in his Ventura, Calif. home on Oct. 4, 2015.
Mitchell takes a second to breathe while cleaning his Oxnard, Calif. childhood home on Oct. 5, 2015. His father, Anglee Mitchell, a Navy veteran who now suffers from dementia, still lives there with Dennis Mitchell's mother. "I always come on Mondays to clean the house and cook because my parents can't really see the little crumbs and dust. We also can't leave him by himself anymore so we always need someone to watch him." Mitchell's siblings and mother rotate taking care of Anglee each week.
Mitchell (left) works on another one of his regular clients, Coral Norton (right). Most of Mitchell's clients are regular clients.
Mitchell is constantly kept busy as a hairstylist, which is why he can only help out with father on Mondays. He has a steady base of regular clients, and in order to get an appointment with him, clients must do it months in advanced. Mitchell (left) converses with one of his regular clients, Laura Flores. (right) Mitchell has been a hairstylist for about 20 years. This was photographed on Sept. 29, 2015. at I Capelli salon located in Ventura, Calif.

Mitchell plays games with his family on Oct. 18, 2015 in Oxnard, Calif. Since the majority of his family members have birthdays in October, they celebrate by having a big party for everyone.
Richard Sanders (left), laughs with husband, Dennis Mitchell (right) during breakfast. "It's nice to do something on Sunday mornings. We're usually both working all the time." Sanders work full-time as a gardener and Mitchell works full-time as a hairstylist. They both met in the 80's through Richard's brother, who was also a hairstylist. Sanders was 28 at the time, and Mitchell was 20. This was photographed in their Ventura, Calif. home on Oct. 4, 2015.

"Selma" is a day in the life portrait of Dennis Mitchell. This project was done for my former photo story class at Brooks Institute.
Aside from doing the occasional drag show as "Selma Cherry", Mitchell is a talented hairstylist, loving husband of 28 years and faithful son to his ailing father.

While classic weddings will always have a special place in our hearts, we couldn't stop buzzing about these so-weird-they're-awesome nuptials and shocking bridal antics. Check out the most unusual headlines that crossed our desks this past year.
10. Engaged couple sees what they'll look like growing old over 60 years together
One month before walking down the aisle, Kristie Scherrer and Tavis Douchette (both in their late 20s) had a team of makeup artists transform them into what they might look like at ages 50, 70 and 90 using life-like prosthetics and old family photos for reference. Jokes about their thinning hair, unkempt eyebrows, and wrinkles aside, they can't help tearing up while imagining their kids, grandchildren, and stories that they'll share over 60 years from now. "You've made me a better person. There are so many things I couldn't be without you," Douchette shares. Watch the touching video:
9. This couple got married 38 times around the world in 83 days
For most couples, planning one wedding is enough of a challenge — but not for acrobats Cheetah Platt and Rhiann Woodyard, who planned 38 spectacular ceremonies around the world! After getting engaged, the Los Angeles-based couple couldn't believe how much it would cost to host their wedding in their hometown, and they decided to put the money to better use by traveling around the world, throwing a wedding ceremony in each location. "We didn't want to spend a lot of money for a single day," Platt told the Huffington Post. "This wedding, three months around the world with unbelievable adventures... is cheaper than throwing a good — not even 'great,' not even 'epic,' just a 'good' — wedding in California for one day."

8. A man who was invited to a stranger's bachelor party by mistake decided to go anyway
It sounds like the plotline of a rom-com bromance: Groomsmen accidentally invited a stranger who lives 2,800 miles away to attend a bachelor party, and incredibly, he showed up. The saga began on February 11th, when Joey DiJulio from Burien, Washington, received a cryptic email about a bachelor party taking place in Philadelphia. He didn't recognize anyone who matched groom Jeff Minetti's description (a "middle-aged Pavarotti") but instead of deleting the email, he kept following the thread, entertained by the groomsmen's witty responses. Eventually, he alerted the guys to their mistake, and to his surprise, the bridal party not only encouraged him to attend the bash, but they even offered to chip in to cover the cost of his trip. The email buddies finally met face-to-face in Philadelphia on March 28th and they hit it off. The bachelor festivities included a stop at Tony Luke's, a duck tour, basketball and shuffleboard, and gambling at SugarHouse casino.

7. Groom levitates during first dance with bride
One couple's first dance to "I Put a Spell on You" by Screaming Jay Hawkins left us utterly bewitched! Justin Willman and Jillian Sipkins got married on September 6th in Malibu, California, and the groom, a magician, treated guests to mind-blowing tricks during their spin on the dance floor. (If the newlyweds look familiar, it's because they also went viral this year with their hilarious "Drunk History" story of how they met.) Watch their spooky and sexy waltz (choreographed by friend Sebastien Stella) and try not to freak out during the finale:
6. Paramedic responded to crash after getting married — while still wearing her dress
Sarah Ray and her husband Paul experienced the unthinkable on their wedding day — a driver ran a red light and slammed into their relatives' car on their way to the reception. What makes their story even more remarkable is that they're both paramedics, and they rushed to assist moments after saying "I do" at Clarksville Grace Church of the Nazarene in Clarksville, Tennessee. "I don't know that what I did was special. I was just making sure my family was OK, and I just happened to be in a wedding dress," Sarah tells Nashville's News Channel 5. The newlyweds' selfless act went viral after the mother of the bride, Marcy Martin, snapped a photo of her daughter in her gown at the scene of the accident, which was then shared to Montgomery County, Tennessee's Facebook page. "I love this photo because it shows her character and accentuates her beauty," she says.

5. You'll never believe why Burger King decided to pay for this couple's wedding
Childhood sweethearts Joel Burger, 24, and Ashley King, 23, from Illinois, been referred to as "Burger-King" since the fifth grade. Over the years, they have come to embrace their wacky nickname fully; they even announced their engagement this past spring by taking photos posing next to a BK logo outside the restaurant. On April 6th, representatives from the fast food giant contacted the bride and groom via Skype and to their amazement, generously offered to pay for all of their wedding expenses. King began shaking and burst into tears before accepting. "We knew deep in our hearts that we wanted to honor the union of Mr. Burger and Ms. King," a spokesperson tells The State Journal-Register. "And we wanted to create a 'whopper of a wedding' that's uniquely their own." The epic Burger-King nuptials took place on July 17th in Jacksonville. Congratulations to the happy couple!

4. This guy proposed with a ring made out of his wisdom tooth
Just when we thought we'd seen every unique engagement ring imaginable, Lucas Mancoon-Unger outdid them all when he presented fiancée Carlee Alisan Leifkes a ring made from his wisdom tooth. "So incredibly excited to marry my best friend, the man who knows that his wisdom tooth means more to me than a diamond. Can't wait to be a weirdo with you and dance our way through life to Thee Oh Sees and Black Sabbath. We have never been the "traditional couple", why the heck start now?" Leifkes writes in a Facebook post. The California couple got married this past November in Las Vegas. Congrats to the unconventional pair!

3. Identical triplets got married at the same time — wearing the same dress!
Talk about a triple whammy! Guests at the Bini family wedding in Brazil witnessed identical triplets marry on the same day, in the same ceremony while wearing the same dress. Twenty-nine-year-old sisters Rafaela, Rochele and Tangiane Bini have always shared similar tastes, ever since they were little girls, and their nuptials were no different. Case in point: They each wanted to have their own unique hair and makeup for the big day, but they all ended up liking the same style. Rochele tells The Daily Mail that "It's not even worth trying, it always ends up like that." The only differentiating factor — besides their grooms, of course — was that they carried bouquets in different hues. Their 18 bridesmaids wore red, yellow or blue dresses that color-coordinated with their "assigned" bride. Sounds confusing, right? The grooms, Rafael, Gabriel, and Eduardo, admitted that they were worried they might get mixed up during the vows; however, the ceremony worked out perfectly.

2. Bride presented father with a medical certificate at her wedding to prove that she's still a virgin
Brelyn Bowman ignited a firestorm of controversy online when she posted an Instagram snap of a document signed by her doctor proving that she was a virgin. She presented the purity certificate to her father, pastor Dr. Mike Freeman, on October 10, her wedding day, because she wanted to give him proof that she had remained abstinent until marriage. "Thanks for all your support on social media over the last couple of days! We will continue to push & celebrate our decision. Thank you for helping us push a positive message! If one person has made a decision to wait until marriage or decide to stop & wait we have done our job," the bride wrote on Instagram.
1. Couple dubbed The "Kim Kardashian and Kanye West of China" threw a $31 million wedding
We've covered some over-the-top celebrity weddings, but this one definitely takes the cake this year. Chinese actress, singer and model Angela Yeung (stage name: "Angelbaby") wed actor Huang Xiaoming on October 8th in a so-lavish-it's-insane wedding celebration that cost a staggering $31 million (only $3 million less than Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's Royal Wedding, and three times more than Kimye's big day). Costs included a custom Dior gown with a 10-foot-long train, enough food and a 10-foot cake to feed 2,000 guests, a holographic castle during the ceremony, a five-and-a-half karat Chaumet ring (valued at $1.5 million alone) and more. The pre-wedding events were just as elaborate, with the couple staging an engagement photo shoot in Paris that featured not one but a series of Elie Saab couture gowns. Kevin Kwan, the author of Crazy Rich Asians, explained the affair to Yahoo Style as such: "If Chris Evans were to marry Jennifer Lawrence in a very public, all paparazzi invited wedding held at Radio City Music Hall, that would not even come close to the magnitude of this wedding."
