I normally read books very quickly, but sometimes I struggle. I put the book I'm halfway through down, pick up another one and speed through it, try to return to the first book... Oh, and I'm already off on another adventure, reading something completely unrelated.
I'm only including books that I've actually finished, because I do have a pile of half read ones on the go at the moment (oh, 'Emma', I've been reading you for four years!).
5) 'The View From the Cheap Seats' by Neil Gaiman
This book of non-fiction essays is lengthy! I started reading it the day I got it out of the library, and had it for nearly two months as I dipped in and out, reading a couple of essays at a time.
4) 'Uglies' by Scott Westerfeld
One of the reasons this took me so long is because I read it in the middle of a reading slump, so I was only able to concentrate on a couple of pages at a time without wanting to tear my hair out. I'm hoping to reread this eventually, and move on with the rest of the series, because I think I would really enjoy it if I was reading it at the right time.
3) 'City of Bones' by Cassandra Clare
'City of Bones' was one of the victims of this. I can remember flying through the other four books in the series ("Why Alyce!" you cry, "There are six books in The Mortal Instruments!". I HAVEN'T READ THE LAST ONE, OKAY?!) but I struggled with this first installment.
2) 'Severed Heads, Broken Hearts' by Robyn Schneider
1) 'Allegiant' by Veronica Roth
My relationship with 'Allegiant' was so bad that it took me almost 12 weeks to chug through it. The middle section and the alternating viewpoints were the areas that really caused me to struggle, but I read the last 150 pages in a day... I was so conflicted!
I hope you enjoyed this Top Five Wednesday! Which books took you the longest to read?

Helen Clare, PhD(USyd), FACP, Dip Phy (UOtago), Dip MDT
Show Notes
Personal Background
Helen grew up in New Zealand on an orchard as a child and shifted life to Sidney, Australia and enjoys her family while not in her private practice or away instructing courses.
Professional Background
Dr. Clare was influenced early on to consider physiotherapy upon reading a novel about a traveling therapist. Her training was at Otago University in Dunedin, NZ, the same school that Robin McKenzie attended years prior. She was influenced by shadowing Michael Monegan the local expert on treatment of the spine at that time. Her observation period with Michael, she remembered, included one occasion when the hospital lost electricity and Helen was most impressed as he was the only physio able to continue to work during the power outage because he was manually trained.
Her early training was based on Maitland principles. She had other exposure to the Kaltenborn approach. In her master's work she performed a systematic review of the literature on the McKenzie Method and later pursued becoming faculty. Through further training and extensive instruction of the method she later applied and was appointed as the International Director of Education for the McKenzie Institute International.
She has since gained a PhD studying the efficacy of MDT and the qualification of specialist in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. She now teaches and has her own private practice with an emphasis in cervical pain, cervical radiculopathy and cervical-shoulder differential diagnosis.
Patient Education Analogy
Helen uses pathoanatomical explanations as well as every day experiences like a sprained ankle to relate the problem to something the patient understands well. She has built relationships with referral sources and educated them as to what she does and what her patients receive so that they're not surprised o what they get when they come to her.
The view that MDT is an adjunct to other things they do. They don't see it as a complete philosophy. And that view results in about 50% drop off rate from those that take part A and B and those that complete part C and D and credential.
Education of MDT will be most effective and far reaching as long as it uses live patients but also is time effective and describes it as applicable to all types of musculoskeletal patients. Additional emphasis will include a strong working relationship between each chapter across the world.

April 3, 2013
By Brom Hoban-American-Statesman Correspondent
Kenyan runner Eric Chirchir, the defending Statesman Capitol 10,000 champion, has a pretty solid road-racing record in Austin. He's run three races here — all at the 10K distance — and he's won every one. Ten years ago, he even set the city's existing 10K record of 29 minutes, 3 seconds at the IBM Uptown Classic.
Even so, he'll have his work cut out for him Sunday during the Statesman Capitol 10,000. Race director John Conley said Chirchir will face perhaps the strongest men's field ever assembled in the 37-year history of the Cap 10K, one that includes former champion Scott MacPherson, a former Austinite who won the race in 2011 and 2012. Lee Troop, an Australian Olympic marathoner who won the race 20 years ago, also has entered.

ADVENDURE is the leading web portal in Greece about Mountain Running, Adventure, Endurance and other Mountain Sports
The European concept of Skyrunning has taken off in the UK with a bang. We visit the Lakes Sky Ultra in the newly World Heritage-listed Lake District National Park.
"I don't mean to freak anyone out," says Lakes Sky Ultra (LSU) race director Charlie Sproson at the pre-race briefing. "But, in places, this is an extremely technical course." Please exercise Sound Mountain Judgement at all times," he warns. "That means, if you don't feel safe, connect with other people. If you still don't feel safe, don't go past the next check-point. Come down off the course. You need to make that decision."
Skyrunning races have been in the UK for four years. These aren't trail races, ultra races or even 'fell' (mountain) races. One way to understand them is running meets alpinism or rock climbing. Charlie prefers, "like Fell Running on acid."
LSU is a 56km course with 4,500m of ascent, in England's most spectacular natural playground, the Lake District National Park, awarded UNESCO World Heritage status just a week before we visit. Rather than avoiding knife-edge ridges and any gnarly, rocky, hyper-rugged, un-runnable terrain, this route actively seeks it out. At times, the course's little red flags – a signal more commonly a sign of danger or to stop, here it means 'come this way if you dare' – are erected on a rocky ridge, running parallel with an invitingly runnable trail. "I don't want you on those trails," grins Charlie. "This is a sky race." The runners titter nervously.
It's a tough course, but three sections are particularly notorious. "Striding Edge is really steep and exposed ground, a knife-edge ridge. It's hand on rock, again. You'll want three points of contact on rock as much as possible. Use your hands. Use your climbing skills."
"There's a hand-on-hand, rope descent from Eagle Crag," says Charlie to the room of runners so silent you could hear a mouse fart. "Take care with your footing there. A helmet is advisable."
Pinnacle Ridge is another roped section and the most notorious of all. "I don't want to alarm anyone," says Charlie, "but it's very steep, so there's a rope. We have extra safety staff there. We have more mountain professionals on the course than ever before. We want to make sure you're safe."
"I'm not going to lie, the climb to Pinnacle Ridge climb is a real bastard," says Jason Millward who placed fourth in 2017. "It's just relentless and so steep it feels vertical. Halfway up I thought it would never end. And by the time I reached Pinnacle Ridge itself, my heart and legs felt like they were going to explode."
This is a vetted race. The competitors all declared that they're experienced in the mountains and comfortable on rocks, scrambling and traversing technical terrain. Some of them carry helmets, as they've been encouraged to do. All runners are fitted with a GPS tracker, so friends and family can watch live online. But more pressingly, so safety staff can see if someone's getting into trouble.
The trackers have an SOS button. "If you're feeling a bit low, lonely or lost, don't press the SOS button," warned Charlie. "A helicopter may come. So only use it in a real emergency. If you are in real trouble though, please do use it."
It's not just the runners at risk either. "The cut-offs are hard. That's partly safety for runners, but partly for safety of staff too. Last year the marshals got really cold waiting up on the mountain tops."
It's not all doom and gloom though. There's a fantastic atmosphere around the race. Cow bells clang. At times a banging drum can be heard through the mist. Spectators have made it to the most inhospitable places. Runners have made it here for today's race – and tomorrow's little sister race, the inaugural Scafell Sky Race – from the US, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, France, Norway, Slovakia, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Poland, Netherlands, Ireland and all around the UK.
Knife-edge ridges and exposed, Grade 3 scrambles, combined with difficult Lake District conditions made for a very tough race, testing experienced runners to the limits of fitness and technical ability. "It's not a race for the fainthearted," said Jason. "But it's one of the most rewarding to finish. The course is tough and tests every aspect of trail/fell/mountain running to the limit. Despite their best efforts the mountains did not beat me today. I can't recommend it enough. I loved it and will be back next year without a doubt."
"At the finish line my legs just gave way beneath me. I was knackered. It's certainly one tough race. But it's absolutely awesome. It's extreme. It's gnarly. It's hardcore. For once a race that lived up to the organiser's hype."
"The toughest section for me was the slog from Haweswater to Kirkstone [near the end]. I was on my own and the conditions made it feel very isolated. I could have been anywhere. The headwind and driving rain made forward progress difficult. I've never been so pleased to hear the sound of a car engine through the clag [originally an UK Air Force term, adopted by locals, from the acronym Cloud Low Aircraft Grounded, circa 2nd World War] before."
The most fun bit was Pinnacle Ridge, he says. "I felt out of my confront zone, due to fatigue. But the scramble was so much fun, I wanted to go back for another go. Technical and challenging but within most people's ability if they spend time in the mountains."
Sunday's Scafell Sky Race (SSR), 40km and 2,800m of ascent, was a very different affair. Glorious sunshine blessed the course over England's highest point, Scafell Pike, designed to be technical and challenging, but as an introduction to skyrunning. Unlike LSU, SSR entries are not vetted and the course, created also by Sproson, is designed to showcase the best of the Lakes. From the quiet village of Seathwaite runners climbed past the milk-white Sour Milk Gill waterfalls, up the hanging Gillercomb Valley to the summit of Green Gable (801m).
Technical singletrack led past the Napes Needle (where rock climbing originated, in the 1880s), then a classic, technical ascent of the highest mountain in England, Scafell Pike (978m). Boulder fields, scree and more thrilling singletrack led to a feed station in the beautiful valley of Langdale. A torturous climb back up the fells followed, alongside a huge, serene lake and irresistible ridge-top running all the way to the finish in the village of Ambleside.
"That was the gnarliest and most technical races I've ever done," said Australia's, Salomon athlete Lucy Bartholomew, who also placed first at Ultra-Trail Australia (100K) this year. "It was tougher than [notorious Norwegian skyrace] Tromsø. I am so proud to have pushed myself outside my comfort zone to win!"
The Lakes Sky Ultra and the Scafell Sky race return to the Lake District in 2018. For more information visit www.lakesskyultra.uk and the race's Facebook pages.

6. Magnesium
Belly bloat can be eliminated in one more manner. It has been proved that magnesium is an effective element and can neutralize stomach acid. This mineral relaxes the intestines and reduces indigestion. It becomes easier to release gas. Magnesium can be found in fish, bananas and quinoa. Add some whole grains and leafy greens.

The debut full-length album by Russian Melodic Alternative Metal/Rock band.With their first album, CIRCLE STORY delivers some high quality material that features a bunch of hit potential songs. This eleven-track opus is all about variety. Of course in a good way. You can obviously hear some Grunge influences plus some low-tuned and 7-string riffing here and there. Catchy vocal melodies that won't go away after you stop listening, monumental arrangement with strings and keyboards and tasty guitar playing - that's also what the CIRCLE STORY debut contains.With some Progressive twist that is present on some tracks, the band sounds like GOJIRA meets DREAM THEATER on some Modern Rock radio territory, which is also not bad at all. It is very hard to label this band, to tag this band. If you compare their music to fine arts - "Uncovered Fears" will be like canvas of many colors, hanging in a darkened room. It has everything good Rock or Metal album should have - arena choruses with well-thought-out guitars and rythm section. At a time when mediocrity pervades the music industry through and through, "Uncovered Fears" is a true gem to listen to. With its sincerity, deep emotion and immensity it should satisfy even the most picky listener.Accompanied with a beautiful 12-paged booklet, featuring some interesting artwork by the designer Pablo Antonoff, this CD becomes a great option for the fans of ALTER BRIDGE, ALICE IN CHAINS, GOJIRA, STONE SOUR, KATATONIA, MASTODON.

Counseling is a successful therapy to cure mental health issues and other funny behaviors that are generally connected with substance abuse. The negative outcomes on the personal and legal side are an extraordinary obstacle to anybody, particularly adolescents, to accomplish balance and sobriety while managing their families, companions, and society all in all. A combination of behavioral and pharmacological treatments is important to address the problem.
You can read more about substance abuse by visiting other websites that discuss this topic.
Substance abuse counselors recognize the manhandling individual's negative behaviors and apply the essential procedures to change and give a solution for it. Counselors work intimately with a group of caregivers from clinics or therapeutic centers. Being an instructor, your determination and patience are tested, and it requires a lot of empathy and a powerful urge to stretch out help to those affected. Successful counseling includes distinctive sorts of advocate client collaborations and participation that are reflected by the treatments utilized. Utilization of treatment techniques may shift depending upon the sort of counseling picked.
Individual counseling is a technique that gently enables the client to acknowledge the reality of how abuse influences their life, and in addition the lives of everyone around them. Group counseling is a strategy that gently enables the client to acknowledge the reality of how abuse influences their lives alone together with other individuals. Patients will likewise understand that their case isn't special. This sort of counseling gives solid support and opens up an opportunity for the abuser to face his circumstance since patient manifests disapproval of the problem and blame others to rationalize injurious conduct.
Following a couple of long periods of counseling, out-tolerant counseling program serves as a finish of the pledge to finish aversion and finish abstinence from substance abuse.
Substance abuse counseling for sure assumes a vital role in the mental recovery of a patient. It guides them towards building up and maintaining motivation to change, creating basic problem-solving or interpersonal skills, accomplishing a balanced lifestyle, enhancing relationships, finding higher importance in life and in the end driving a productive and happy life.

This announcements included WhatsApp and YouTube support in the Jio Phone, the launch of Jio Phone 2 and Jio Smart Home appliances suite, and more. Additionally. While Jio GigaFiber and Jio Phone 2 took away most of the spotlight at the event, here are all the important things announced at Reliance AGM 2018.
Jio Phone 2 : The Jio Phone 2 4G feature phone was launched. It comes with a few improvements in terms of design compared to the model that was launched in 2017.

7 Undeniable Benefits of Tarmac Driveways
If you desire function, aesthetics, and other features on your driveway, you can choose from a host of available materials. One material that doesn't disappoint is tarmac, and its 7 advantages are highlighted next.
During the installation process, tarmac is always in the form of a hot liquid that is allowed to cool before other processes can take place. The ease at which such steps are carried out make tarmac driveway cost per square meter to be very low because the contractor will not spend a lot of time on your property. The low cost of the process explains why the government uses the material during the construction of public roads.
During the installation of tarmac; its particles bond completely, making it a durable material for your driveway. Even with several heavy vehicles that use your driveway often, there is very little damage that can result. A long period has to pass before a replacement becomes necessary. What's more, you can carry out repairs on the damaged sections that may have potholes.
Learning The "Secrets" of Options
It is easy to maintain a tarmac driveway because of the strength of the material. Even if there is serious damage present, a contractor can apply a top layer onto the existing one and that is sufficient to reinstate your driveway's functionality and looks.
A Simple Plan: Services
Tarmac driveways have no joints or cracks after they are installed by experts. Such a characteristic makes it resistant to water, frost, and snow. If you compare block paving versus tarmacking, among results you will get include the fact that the former is usually overgrown with weeds and mold in its joints and cracks. Tarmac driveways are desirable during winter because of their salt resistance, which will make snow elimination an easy process. Another feature that will ease the process of removing snow is the fast rate at which tarmac heats up.
A tarmac driveway can be laid on another material, something you cannot do with its alternatives. As such, there won't be a need to prepare your surface, which is a task that may cost you a lot of cash and time. Opting for an alternative material for your driveways may require you to do full depth bedding before its installation takes place.
Over time, an alternative surface such as paving stones can become loose after rising or even crack. The presence of such issues results in unsightly scenes and property value drops. You cannot get such issues with a tarmac driveway.
With colored driveways now present, personalizing your outdoors has gone a step further. Some popular options include red, blue, and green. You can even add borders to your driveway to enhance its looks.

Roasted Northwest Chestnuts
In the shadow of Mount Baker and the neighboring Twin Sisters, lies a grove of trees harvesting our fresh chestnuts for the holidays. The Washington Chestnut Company is owned and operated by Bernie Hilgart and his family in Everson, Washington. Due to the cool growing season, these Northwest chestnuts are sweeter in flavor (similar to those found in the mountains of France and Italy) and stay on the tree longer than warmer areas. While warmer climate chestnuts fall from the tree weeks before the holiday season, our Washington chestnuts are harvested just in time for freshly picked nuts for the holidays. We'll have these chestnuts in our stores through Christmas.
Visiting Bernie's chestnut orchard is a festive experience, to say the least. The unique growing process of chestnuts displays other-worldly, stringy blooms and spikey burrs. In the final growing process, the ripe nut falls to the ground before being harvested. Chestnuts are known for their meaty flavor and can be incorporated into soups, casseroles and desserts.
To easily remove chestnuts from their skins, boil or roast them. Roasting chestnuts on an open fire is as nostalgic as it is delicious so here's the simple process for open fire roasting that Nat King Cole would be proud of.
Roasted Chestnuts on an Open Fire
Note: Use extreme caution whenever cooking over open flame.
- Using a paring knife, cut an X onto the flat side of each chestnut. This eases the peeling process and prevents the chestnut from exploding during cooking.
- Place scored chestnuts in cold water for 15 minutes.
- Set soaked chestnuts on a pan (preferably with a long handle) and place into fire for about 15 minutes, rotating often until the shells have begun peeling back.
OVEN ALTERNATIVE: No open fire? No problem. Place soaked chestnuts on a placing sheet with the X side up and bake in a preheated 400° F oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until shells have begun peeling back.
- Wrap hot chestnuts in a towel and squeeze to crush the skins. Allow 5 minutes to cool then peel and enjoy!

KeyEast singer-actor Kim Hyun-joong's agency, called the police on Sunday to look into Saturday's hacking of his official home page.
According to a statement from KeyEast, Kim had been recruiting fan club members on his home page since May 2 and requested that new members transfer a subscription fee of 10,000 won ($9) to his account.
On the morning of May 7, the account number was suddenly switched and the membership fee was changed to 35,000 won. A new notice on the site that told potential members that if they paid an additional 100,000 won, they could be part of a fan-club meeting with Kim next month on Jeju Island. The notice also said that another 800,000 won would get a personal dinner date with Kim.
Some fans expressed doubt about the suddenly changed account number and subscription fee amount and informed KeyEast. The agency announced on May 7 that the site was hacked, the account number was wrong and the notices posted were false.
"We found that 20 fans were deceived by the hackers to pay [a large sum of money]," a KeyEast representative said. "We will compensate them for the damages, while the police pursue the hackers."

IndyCar's irrepressibly cool list features impressive impresarios from the pinnacle of motor racing, including personalities, WAGS, tracks and other incredibly cool characteristics of the series.
Photo from pinterest.com
Graham Rahal's fast wife. The newlywed drag racer is among the fastest people on the planet, not to mention she's downright hot. Having a WAG of Courtney's caliber in the series is priceless. There's no denying Mr. Rahal married above his station, which isn't easy for a legacy IndyCar driver. Just ask Michael Andretti with his many exes.
Photo from flickr.com
Helio's Twitter handle, @h3lio: It's clever, brief and to the point – even including his car number – and makes the perfect social media moniker. Too bad most of his Tweets aren't nearly as interesting as his ID.
Photo from usatoday.com
Sage Karam's fearlessness: Just re-watch last year's epic Iowa race for evidence, or consult our logical list "Ten Reasons Sage Karam Deserves An IndyCar Ride." Unfortunately for the young Pennsylvanian, fearlessness can cause fear and revulsion in certain beefy owner's increasingly hairless heads.
Image from Indy Race Reviewer
Ryan Hunter-Reay in a business suit: He looks amazing in semi formal attire, more than good enough for another line of work in the future if he so chooses. Judging by his political leanings though, Floridians had better hold on to their wallets.
Photo from 360sportsnetwork.com
KV Racing's kick ass metallic paint scheme: The metallic silver and black KV car driven only occasionally by Frenchman Sebastien Bourdais is the toughest looking IndyCar livery, possibly ever. They should stick with it and ditch their usually bland colors, which look tired and timid by comparison.
Photo from thesportport.com.au
A.J. Foyt: Having the ornery octogenarian and legend of the sport still involved with his team – even when it's not particularly successful – is very cool, indeed. His choice of drivers, however . . .
Photo from ap.org
Racing at Fontana: IndyCar racing at California's Auto Club Speedway – and most all oval tracks, really – is the coolest form of motorsports in the world. Drivers maneuvering their open wheel vehicles at speeds over two hundred and twenty miles an hour, it just doesn't get any better than that. While Fontana is off this year's schedule – thank you Mark Miles – we're hoping after a regime change at 16th and Georgetown this glaring mistake is corrected.
Rick Mears' involvement in the series: Another four time Indy 500 winner alongside the great AJ Foyt, Mears' various roles in the series through the years have added gravitas, grace and style to the series like no one else could. It's just a shame he still works for Penske.
Photo from foxsports.com
Texas Motor Speedway: If you've never been to TMS just south of Denton, Texas then you need to attend an IndyCar race there, ASAP. Why so soon? Because the dire direction in which the series is headed, tragically oval track racing is in danger of becoming extinct. It's just wrong to abandon your heritage. The coolest place in the entire universe is . . .
Photo from Indy Race Reviewer
IMS: Shrine of speed, home of the five hundred miler and all around awesome racetrack, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the epicenter of racing for true fans of artistry on wheels. She may be over a century old and undergoing an epic face lift, but with the 100th running of the Indy 500 approaching IMS shines more brightly than ever as a beacon of scintillation, speed and significance.

Lauren O. of Weiser, Idaho had her life impacted in a very special and particular way which, in turn, impacted ours. Isn't it uncanny just how intricately the Lord works? In January, I received an email from Lauren and the Shipping and Receiving team at Teton Machine Co. out in Payette, ID saying that they had a gift for us and would we be willing to come and tell their company about our work and accept this gift? Ummmm, ya! We made a date and my husband, Dan, and I drove the hour out to beautiful Payette where we met the entire crew at Teton. What a great group of people! We were welcomed into their weekly company meeting where stats were shared and checks were being handed out.
A little bit about Teton – "We have customers in aerospace, defense, medical equipment, oil and gas exploration, firearms, scientific test equipment, and the semiconductor industries. We are a 100% employee-owned ESOP company with around 40 employees," Lauren explained. "My father has worked for Teton for over 30 years from the bottom to his current position of president and general manager. To me, Teton feels like home because I grew up going to company picnics and hanging out with Dad at work when I had a day off from school."
Teton has something called a 5-S challenge. It's a bi-monthly audit of the organization in each department in five phases: sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain. Whichever department scores highest wins and can direct some money toward a local non-profit of their choosing. That's where Wipe Every Tear came into the picture.
When I asked Lauren how she found out about us she explained that she went on the World Race with Adventures in Missions in 2014. After the race, in 2015, "One of my teammates from Spokane, WA was involved with AIM's first Beauty for Ashes trip that traveled to three countries, one of them being the Philippines. She met the women of Wipe Every Tear while there, which is how I first heard of you. I looked into you a little more and was surprised to find that you were headquartered in Boise!"
"I have been an assistant high school softball coach in Weiser, ID for the last nine years and have a heart for young women. When I read about the ministry and Kenny's story about his love for young people and coaching, I really related to it. My time as a coach gave me the opportunity to really understand, encourage, and love young women. When I think of the young women that WET works to bring out of bondage, I can't help but think that those could just as well be those that I have been privileged to coach. That breaks my heart but also compels me to tell others about the work that Wipe Every Tear does in setting girls free from the sex trade. So, last year we invited Kenny out to receive our first 5-S donation. I am hoping that we will continue to give in the future. The 5-S challenge has definitely been a motivation for me to work hard every day so that I can contribute money to something that I really care about."
I was so impressed with Lauren, her company that is like family, and the 5-S challenge that encourages hard work that gives back to our world-wide community! Thank you, Teton, for all that you do, and a special thanks to Lauren and the Shipping and Receiving department for your labor of excellent love.

An opportunity to work closely with the Vervain team on a beautiful destination wedding in the Dordogne, France.
You must be available from August 3rd to August 7th 2016.
This is a chance to gain hands on experience while working with Vervain creating pieces for a beautiful wedding set in the grounds of a French Chateau.
Previous experience working with flowers is a must as you will be asked to create pieces by yourself, formal training isn't necessary but a good grasp of colour, shape and styling is helpful. You may be asked to create vase arrangements, flower crowns and buttonholes so it is essential that you feel confident working with flowers.
Accommodation, travel and food expenses will be covered by Vervain.
Before the wedding we will arrange a meeting to discuss all aspects of the trip, we will share the designs and ideas of the day with you - giving you an insight into the full process of working on an event with Vervain.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with your name, a bit about yourself (who you are, why you are interested, what your experience is and anything interesting about yourself!) your contact details, and a link or attachments of your floral work.
The location of the wedding -
August 3rd - 7th 2016
Earlier in the year I created a few floral pieces for the Most Curious Wedding Show 2016 campaign shoot. Using as many British grown flowers from my patch, and from a fellow flower patch friend, as I could, I created a chaotic colourful vase arrangement, along with a more delicate pale pink arrangement and two bridal bouquets to match each. I also created a few long carnation garlands and a carnation wall hanging for the Most curious team to use, the long garlands were mixed in with some beautiful fabric hangings created by Oh Squirrel.
I will also be exhibiting at next year's show, so make sure you get your tickets and come say hi!
Below are a few of my behind the scenes pictures taken on set at the Most Curious shoot. Scroll down for more pictures of the set and behind the scenes.
Below are some images from behind the scenes taken by Cinzia Bruschini on the day, I really love some of these, especially the double exposure ones.
Below are the finished images take by Natalie J Weddings.

NEW YORK, March 20 (Reuters) - Enterprise Products Partners LP said on Wednesday it would team up with exchange operator CME Group to conduct a second electronic auction within about a month for crude exports.
Enterprise said bids for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light sweet crude oil produced in the Permian basin will be accepted during the auction on April 4, 2019. The cargo will be exported from Enterprise's Houston terminal.
The auction comes as the United States heads towards becoming a net exporter of crude and refined fuels consistently after surpassing Saudi Arabia and Russia last year as the world's biggest oil producer. International Energy Agency officials recently estimated that the nation would reach net exporter status by 2021.
Enterprise and CME's first crude cargo auction was held on March 5 and the winning bid was a 46-cents-per-barrel premium to CME's newly launched WTI Houston futures contract, for one cargo of about 650,000-850,000 barrels of crude.
A total of 17 participants and buyers from around the world have expressed interest in participating in the auction, CME said.
Commodities merchant Glencore Ltd lifted the first WTI Houston cargo via the auction process and hopes to add liquidity to the contract and auctions going forward, David Keller, crude trader at Glencore said in a statement in March.
From the Permian Basin, Enterprise transports crude oil to Houston through the Midland-to-ECHO pipeline system, which has 575,000 barrels per day (bpd) of capacity.
Traders have said few people globally have adopted the method of auctioning crude export cargoes.
"The Enterprise auction is interesting," said Morningstar analyst Sandy Fielden. "This is packaging crude for export in cargo size lots in order to reduce the hassle of getting crude out of Houston pipelines and onto a ship."
While Enterprise's approach cuts back on the effort an exporter has to make to assemble exports by leaving that work to Enterprise for fees, it is likely going to deter producers looking to build long-term relationships with buyers, Fielden said.
"It's more of a 'spot' cargo export process than a term deal structure," he said. (Reporting by Devika Krishna Kumar and Laila Kerney in New York; editing by Diane Craft)

Just got this new CD from
Hiphopsite.com packed with obsceene beats from Primo, Pharell, Cut Chemist, Just Blaze, Ad Rock and more. WoW. Nigo put together a rediculous group.
HYPE is KING in 2005-2006 for shizzle.
Check out the review of the release from Japan Times here:
Teriyaki Boyz article by Japan Times
If you want my opinion, even though I have no clue what they are saying I am feeling the overall package. You can't go wrong with a album full of beats from all the best producers of the time. We had to shell out $40 for this thing as it is an import here only released on Def Jam Japan. So don't trip if you can't find one for less, could be awhile before the price comes down on this one.

He was very helpful working with me on the phone and via text to see photos of what I was looking for. He sent me the proof so I could see the design prior to printing. He also promised that although it was a rushed order, that nothing but quality leaves his hands. He delivered as promised and was willing to meet with us to deliver the koozies in time for the party. Thank you to Clint for superior service and output! :) I highly recommend PVD for anyone looking for custom design and printing.★★★★★ LAURA | MASSACHUSETTS

Woodland Shores Weekly Update 1/29/2018 - 2/4/2018/
5 Reasons to Become a Church Member
- For the sake of the pastors. It lets the pastors know who you are, and makes them responsible for you (see Acts 20:28; Heb. 13:17).
- For the sake of obedience to Jesus. Jesus did not give you the keys of the kingdom for binding and loosing. He gave the keys to the apostolic local church (Matt. 16:13-20; 18:15-20). You don't have the authority to baptize yourself or feed yourself the Lord's Supper. It requires a church to affirm your profession of faith, which is what membership is at its very heart (see Acts 2:38).
- For the sake of other believers. Joining makes you responsible for one local congregation, and they for you. You now own or have a share in their discipleship to Christ. That is, you are now responsible for their growth and professions of faith, insofar as you are responsible for the church's faithful gospel preaching (Gal. 1) and that individual's discipline (Matt. 18:15-20; 1 Cor. 5).
- For one's own spiritual good and safety. Suppose YOU ever become that lamb who wanders away from the fold (Matt. 18:12-14). It's your church that Jesus will send after you (Matt. 18:15-20).
- For the sake of non-Christian neighbors. Membership helps to protect and promote the reputation of Christ on earth by guarding the church's witness (see Matt. 5:13-16; 28:18-20; John 13:34-35). Membership is how the world knows who represents Jesus!
These reasons are taken from an excerpt from an excellent article on 9Marks.org by Jonathan Leeman find the whole article here.
Please Consider our Church Membership Class February 18th and 28th.
Don't forget about our college students this week! Pray for them as they get ready study hard and donate snacks, stationary, or anything that will let our 14 college students know they are loved. Everything is due this Sunday so the teens can pack the boxes and get them out before Valentines Day.
We have a lot of other events coming up on our calendar like our Family Movie Night! Please save this picture below and share it on social media or forward this email on to your friends and family who live in the area. This is a great opportunity for us to connect with many who might not regularly attend Sunday mornings. (This movie was chosen by vote and received good ratings for all ages on pluggedin.com and Dove.com.)
God bless you this week! I can't wait to see you Sunday!
You are Loved!

The scene takes place a few weeks back during the presentation of the results of the study conducted by IPSOS for the IAB France on the phenomenon of adblocking in France. Tongue in cheek, IAB Director Christophe Dané questions the room to ask who, among the advertising professionals there that day, uses an adblocker on a personal basis. That's when, amazingly, some twenty hands went up spontaneously, with no embarrassment at all, some even smiling. And they say we are never betrayed by our fellows…
This delightful episode mercilessly illustrates how far we still have to go to change the way of thinking in a world – communication – in which we sometimes have difficulty aligning words with acts. In order to deal with the threat of the proliferation of adblocks in the digital advertising ecosystem, it is time for advertisers, publishers and the media to stop dithering. Because it is urgent: the IAB France study shows that 30% of French Web users are equipped with an adblocker, 69% of whom for over one year. A constantly rising figure on the worldwide scale, and that represents over 21.8 billion dollars in lost earnings for the advertising market.
@@The growth of adblocking is equivalent to the excesses of the marketers@@
The growth of adblocking reveals the excesses that are all too often caused by disrespectful attitudes from performance-obsessed marketers towards their clients or prospects. As they multiply the intrusive formats that perturb Web browsing and put advertising pressure before good campaign contextualization and quality content, e-advertising professionals have ultimately put themselves in danger and consumers are making them pay for their blindness. But if everyone were to agree now on concrete measures to make them take a more responsible attitude, there is no guarantee that they will be able to glue the pieces back together as easily as they hope. Because trust and respect are two fundamental drivers in marketing, but they are as powerful as they are fragile. Making an act of contrition after a mistake has never totally absolved anyone. We mustn't forget that an admitted error is only half pardoned.
@@With adblocking, Modern Marketing becomes truly meaningful@@
What is true in BtoC is also true in BtoB. In a digital era where customers now orient corporate strategic choices rather than the other way around, it is crucial to live according to the commandment: "Do not impose on others what I would not like others to impose on me". Modern Marketing imposes that we give meaning to our sales actions and customer relations. It starts with personalization. But relevant personalization. The Ipsos study mentioned above shows us that Web users are not ad-phobic, in fact they admit that advertising is better targeted than before. However, it requires less repetition and ads that meet a real need that they themselves have expressed. The same goes for BtoB.
Addressing the right message to the right person at the right time is no longer a marketer fantasy; new technologies and marketing data now make this entirely possible. All it takes is adapting content marketing strategies to clearly defined objectives. That is the essence of Modern Marketing.

This review of Doodle Jump contains the following information:
The game was played for several hours over several days.
This arcade style game involves manoeuvring an alien (Doodle) across and up the screen (which looks like a piece of graph paper) by tilting the device from side to side. The aim is to move the Doodle from platform to platform while collecting items, shooting monsters (to do this the player taps the screen) and avoiding broken platforms. If the player is not successful they drop to the bottom of the screen and disappear. Throughout the game players gain points, and are encouraged to share their overall score with others on the leader board. However, you need to be logged into the games centre to do this. If you are logged into the games centre you can also play the game with others online. There are many opportunities to customise your Doodle character and even buy a soft toy that resembles this character in the app. However, both of these options cost real money, with one exception, where the player can win a small amount of in game currency (coins) by watching an ad.
This game is an entertainment based app with limited opportunities for learning. The gross motor skills required and eye hand coordination to tilt the screen may be challenging for younger children. The developers have gone to alot of effort with the graphics which mimic kid's drawings. Although the app appears to be very child friendly there are several features (as mentioned above) that parents need to be aware of including links to purchase a branded toy, the ability to play with others online, and in app purchases (either by watching an ad or with real money).
There is a permanent link to a site where you can purchase toys that resemble the main character in this game.

Two former presidents slam Donald Trump over race riot cop-out after he insisted both sides were to blame
George H W Bush and his son George W Bush hit out at the current president
TWO ex-presidents led a fierce backlash against Donald Trump in the race riots row.
George H W Bush and his son George W Bush hit out after the current president insisted both sides were to blame for the violence.
The intervention by his fellow Republicans came as Mr Trump scrapped two business councils he set up to boost economic growth after top firms pulled out over his comments.
They included executives from Campbell Soup Company, Intel and manufacturing giant 3M.
The row followed a protester being mown down and killed by a white supremacist in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday. Mr Trump later claimed some of the right-wing protesters were "fine people".
But the Bushes said yesterday: "America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism and hatred in all forms."
White House aides say Mr Trump "went rogue" during his press conference on Tuesday.

Jamaican Style Fish and Shrimp with Coconut Milk, Papaya and Plantains
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
This light, slightly sweet Jamaican Fish and Shrimp recipe was created after an incredibly tasty dish that my husband and I had during our visit to Jamaica. We love traveling and we are the kind of people who go out and explore, so we had the chance to try all kinds of different dishes during our stay. We tried from the simplest and also the most elaborate Jamaican delights and, hands-down, this recipe was our favorite. So once I got back home, I HAD to replicate it.
Figuring out the flavors in Jamaican cuisine is not that hard for me – Brazilian cuisine is quite similar – which means that both cuisines use plenty of tropical fruits, herbs, coconut milk and seafood. The techniques are simple too. Although, in the recipe that I am sharing here, I tried papaya and bananas (plantains) for the first time mixed in a savory sauce – and it was phenomenal! In Brazil, papaya and bananas are typically served in desserts and cakes, so I loved to have tried something unexpected!
I want to say a big THANK YOU to Chef Shane Thompson from Blue Mahoe (at the Spa Retreat Hotel, in Negril) for serving me something that delighted and inspired me. ONE LOVE.Add a comment

Panqueca de Carne Moida (Brazilian Crêpes with Meat Filling)
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
Crêpes are really thin pancakes and they can be used in both savory and sweet recipes. I grew up eating them at home – my Mom makes the best ones! In fact, this is a very special recipe post because during the testing and photo shoot I had the chance to be hands-on in the kitchen with my Mom; and since she is the crêpes expert, this time I could take a step back and watch the process, photograph, and take some really good notes. We had a lot of fun! The whole family ended up getting involved: my husband, my 4-year-old, and even the baby ended up participating on the process.
Cooking with my Mom is an opportunity that I unfortunately do not have very often. She still lives in Brazil and I live in the US. But I just recently had my second baby boy so she flew to Indiana to spend some time with us. When baby William give us a little break, I often ask her to help me prepare some of the recipes I grew up eating.
My Mom's "Brazilian Crêpes with Meat Filling" are delicious and fairly simple to make (the step-by-step with pictures is helpful!). You can make the crêpes in advance and store in the fridge for a couple of days. You can also be creative with filling: besides the meat and vegetables, I also love to use shredded chicken with corn. For the sweet lovers, my absolute favorite is dulce de leche. Once you have the crêpes ready, the possibilities are endless and SO GOOD!!!Add a comment

Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
Slightly sweet and nutty, this risotto recipe is one of my favorites. If butternut squash is in season, I always make sure I include this recipe when I teach a risotto class. People usually like it a lot!
Also, nowadays we hear a lot the concept "Meatless Monday"… I don't necessarily cook vegetarian food every Monday, but I think that this is a great recipe for those who like the idea of eating without any kind of meat once a week or more. The reason why? This risotto is rich, decadent, and the cubed butternut squash have a meaty texture that replaces the meat texture well.
Finally, I want to encourage you to try making risotto the traditional way – which means standing next to the stove and stirring pretty much constantly for a perfect al dente rice texture. Believe me, it's more fun than you think; especially when wine and friends are involved ;) Happy fall!
Avocado Brigadeiros (Brigadeiro de Abacate)
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
Rich and sweet with a hint of lime, my Avocado Brigadeiros are super simple to make and definitely a crowd pleaser! The famous Brazilian chocolate bonbons called Brigadeiros were the sweets that inspired me to make this avocado version. Guess what else served as an inspiration for me? The Incredible Hulk – yes, he did! I know there is nothing sweet about Hulk's personality, but my son really wanted a superhero party for his 4th birthday this year, so I created several different kinds of flavored Brigadeiros to go with the party theme. Of course that somehow the Incredible Hulk Brigadeiro would HAVE to be green! That's how my delicious Avocado Brigadeiro was born! Kids and adults loved it, and my husband even said it was his favorite out all the other flavors I made!! Now, if you look at the picture above, you can definitely notice that its looks are classy enough to go with any party, and not necessary with just a crazy kid's party. So make it for your next event, but be sure to eat in no longer than 48 hours after the preparation time. Enjoy!Add a comment
Pumpkin Flan

- Written by Cynthia Presser
Pumpkin is a very popular ingredient in cakes and pies, but not many people know how wonderful it tastes when added to a flan. In Brazil, pumpkin flan is just yet another variation of a classic dessert. I like to think that anything goes well when mixed with a classic flan recipe, so it could not be any different for this one. Creamy, sweet, with a hint of cinnamon, this Brazilian dessert is a must try for pumpkin lovers. Serve with freshly shaved coconut flakes on top, adding a twist on this delicious and unusual fall recipe. I hope you enjoy!Add a comment
Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

- Written by Cynthia Presser
Are you looking at the picture above and thinking "WOW! This lasagna looks yummy"? Now, I am going to break you the news: it is not lasagna, but a much lighter and healthier dish, that still has the heartiness and comforting flavors of regular lasagna. How? Thanks to a delicious vegetable that works very well with all kinds of pasta sauces: spaghetti squash! I often use this wonderful vegetable as a substitute for pasta with the addition of any pasta sauce, especially when I want something hearty, but gluten-free and light. I am not going to lie to you and say it tastes just like lasagna noodles, because it doesn't. It is different, but it works in a way that adds flavor and texture to any "pasta-like" dish. It is gluten-free, lower in calories and carbs if compared to regular noodles. But above it all, it tastes really really really good!!!! I used sweet Italian sausage in the sauce, with the addition of carrots, onions, tomatoes, green peppers and fresh herbs and I layered with ricotta and mozzarella – just like regular lasagna. It worked!!! My husband was licking the plate! Replace the Italian sausage with more vegetables, if you want something meatless. All the vegetables used in this recipe were locally grown (most of them organic) and they were delivered at the convenience of my door steps by Green Bean Delivery! To get a PROMOTIONAL CODE and learn more about this great service provided by Green Bean Delivery, read my Cook's Notes on the bottom of the recipe… Spaghetti squash is on season now and I hope you get to try it in this dish!Add a comment
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
Casseroles are the go-to dinner for weeknight family meals: they usually feed a ton of people and, even better, left-overs from casseroles are delicious the next day too! My Chicken Enchilada Casserole is definitely one of those meals. Yet pretty simple to make, I have decided to give you two alternative recipes for the method to use for preparing the chicken. You know me; I am a girl who goes for full flavors… So the first option involves roasting a whole bird, which results in a more flavorful and moister sauce. If you don't have the time or patience, you can definitely use chicken breast instead. One last thing, this recipe was modified from the Chicken Enchilada Casserole I ate 3 weeks ago at my Husband's aunt's (Angie Dennig). Her good friend, Jean Ricchiute, made a recipe that had me craving more and more. I could not stop stop thinking about it, that's how good it was (yes, pregnancy does that sort of stuff). So huge thank you to Jean for sharing the recipe that inspired me to make my own Chicken Enchilada Casserole. I hope you enjoy!Add a comment
Butternut Squash Quibebe with Chicken and Coconut Milk (Quibebe com Frango e Leite de Coco)
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
I was so excited to see the very first few butternut squash of the season showing up at the grocery store! I love all squashes, but the winter ones are my favorites! In Brazil, the varieties that we call winter squashes can be found year round. Every year, I look forward to this season to share some of our delicious recipes. So my first Brazilian recipe of this season will be Quibebe. Don't be intimidated by the strange name, Quibebe is really easy and quick to make (prep time and cooking time shouldn't take longer then 25 to 30 minutes). Now, you are thinking: "So what is this"? Ok, Quibebe is a delicious butternut squash stew, usually cooked with some spices and, sometimes, herbs. It is a typical dish from Northeastern Brazil. It is a side dish, but sometimes it is prepared with some kind of meat (very commonly jerk meat) and it becomes a main course. In this recipe, I made a richer version with the addition of chicken breast, coconut milk and fresh herbs. It is to die for! Quibebe is usually served with rice, but you can leave the rice out and make it a Paleo main course. If you are doing it the Paleo way, also remove the dark brown sugar. I hope you try this easy and flavorful Brazilian dish!Add a comment

Pulled-Pork Sandwiches

Pulled pork sandwiches have to be one of the most flavorful go-to meals of any casual party. Moist and delicious they are always a crowd pleaser. This version has an unexpected ingredient that leaves people wondering: red pepper jelly! Yet time consuming, this recipe is very easy… Plan well your time and you can make this a day or two ahead of serving. My favorite kind of bread for pulled pork is Hawaiian roll, which totally relates to the kid inside of me, but any kind of fresh bun will be great. Serve with tortillas and top with salsa and you will get pulled pork tacos. There is no way to go wrong with this one!Add a comment
Lime-Cilantro Rice with Corn and Jalapeno
- Details
- Written by Cynthia Presser
I made this rice several times during this summer. Every single time it has been an absolute hit! In fact, I created this recipe for a Fourth of July party, about a month ago, and it was so popular among the crowd that it kind of became my go-to side for barbeque parties during this last month. It so delicious that both my husband and I have reheated left-overs and ate as main course, instead of a side dish! Fresh, a bit sweet and tart, this rice is just a guaranteed success! I have wanted to post it so bad, but all the commitments related to the release of my cookbook have been keeping me away from the kitchen and from posting on my website. Finally I had time today to share it with you. Corn season is not over yet, neither are the summer parties… I hope you think about this recipe for your next summer party, or just at any time!Add a comment

We know that there are often tonnes of questions to be asked when you're considering sending your child to a boxing lesson, so here's what you need to know if you are thinking of signing your child up to a boxing class. There are numerous advantages of kids boxing classes and you can see changes in your child's confidence, coordination, growth and fitness quickly.
Let us explain how…
Boxing can help with confidence
Being in a class that's fun, active and encourages you to hit milestones can help kids come out of their skin and feel more confident. We see it every day in the gym, and not just with kids! The skills that are run in class are specific to help people slowly build their skills and confidence in class. Spending time in an environment that fosters growth and is encouraging for all levels makes children feel comfortable and work hard. What we see so often, is this behaviour and confidence reflecting into other areas of a child (or even adults) life. Achieving in one area of life can help boost confidence in other areas too!
What's also key to gaining confidence in classes is meeting new, different people. Some children can be shy when they meet new people, which is only normal! In school, we often spend time with the same people which is great for fostering friendships that can last a lifetime but in a boxing class you meet so many different people, children and adults alike from different backgrounds and experiences. Learning to meet, have fun and work with new people is a sure fire way to gain confidence and meet new lifelong friends.
Boxing and fitness
Sometimes, getting a child off the couch and doing something active can be the hardest part of the day. Or they're used to a sport with lots of running on a field or court. Even though all sports are beneficial for children when it comes to fitness, boxing is a cut above the rest. Boxing is a high cardio workout and is a form of aerobic and anaerobic exercise because it's usually at a higher intensity. This type of exercise can help prevent a huge amount of health issues in kids by helping to prevent weight gain and keeping the muscles and lungs strong.
In boxing, we build muscle not just from cardio but from body weight exercises and for older folk, using weights. Body weight exercises build the strength of muscles and bones in growing kids which could help prevent injury and set them on a great health path in to adult hood.
Agility, coordination and concentration can be improved through boxing too. In class, children will need to practice foot and hand work while striking a pad. They build up to it at a pace suited to them, but eventually you will notice your child being much more agile and see an improvement in their hand-eye coordination and balance.
Boxing and behavior
Alongside feeling more confident, you'll hopefully notice some other positive changes in your child. Boxing promotes determination and motivation in kids by providing a safe and fun environment to fail and try again. Although classes are fully supervised and lead by the coach, it's up to the participants to put in the effort to improve and be able to learn more skills. Think karate kid, but boxing. Practice, control and discipline all play a massive part of being successful at boxing. Even the kids who don't usually portray these traits can find themselves dedicating themselves to training and focusing on improving.
Children learn a lot about respect and discipline at boxing classes. Movie reference: Rocky. The coach is the leader in a boxing gym and is always listened to and respected by everyone who goes there. A great boxing coach is approachable and understanding of children's different abilities and personalities and helps kids to reach their own goals. Despite how nice the coach might be, if he's ignored or rules are broken in the gym, someone will find themselves doing a lot of burpees. It always pays to be on time to a boxing class!
Exercise, has been proven to hugely affect happiness and mental health. As conditions such as anxiety and depression are becoming more prominent in our youth the importance of exercise to improve mental health becomes more important. As explained above, boxing is a great way to get your child active, without making it seem like a chore but instead just something fun to do. Many find that boxing is also a great outlet for any aggression or anger that kids bottle up, offering a safe environment to exert some of those feelings.
Boxing and enjoyment
Most importantly, boxing is fun and for countless reasons. Kids get to meet new kids their own age and outside of school opening them up to a broader social circle and helping their confidence. If you've been in a boxing gym, you'll know that the environment is always pumping. Music in the background, people exercising, practicing and generally having a laugh. Exercise gets the endorphins running and a boxing gym is one place where everyone's endorphins are running high. Although the classes can be physically hard and tiring, children get to exert their energy safely and enjoyably with other kids. While just as importantly, a boxing class gives caregivers an hour to catch up on some adult time, whether that's a coffee, a run or a snooze.

Let's list reasons ppl should call themselves anarchists and not communists
Submitted by BlackFlagged in Anarchism (edited )

Viewing a single comment thread. View all comments
I think anarchism is a far more useful descriptor than 'liberty + arian'. Liberty can mean anything to anyone. Anarchy is very specifically anti-hierarchy.
Perhaps, but it also implies the source of inspiration. I draw more inspiration from Marx than Kropotkin, and garden variety communists have set an unfortunate precedent of authoritarianism, which is where we differ from them. There's not really another established descriptor here* unless we just referred to ourselves as Luxemburgists, which I personally don't really consider the best solution because her influence wasn't given the opportunity to mature thanks to the socdems.
*Perhaps there is a better descriptor but I'm not as well-versed as other leftists because I wasn't exposed to leftist thought at all up until a few years ago, and since then I've been precluded from studying it as thoroughly as others because of life stuff.
What's wrong with 'anarchism'? Anarchists haven't put people in gulags, caused famines, invaded other lands, created nuclear wastelands, forced millions to work in factories or created ultra capitalist dictators.
Oh, at what point did I actually argue that I had an active problem with anarchism, or try to justify atrocities committed by state capitalists? Being sectarian this early in the game serves nobody but the bourgeoisie.
I'm talking about the word 'anarchism' vs 'libertarian' and demonstrating that it's an uncorrupted word.
