Governments should not have to provide care or financial support for elderly people because it is the responsibility of each person to prepare for retirement and support him or herself. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Many states in the world have offered the benefits for long time to those senior citizens after they become retired. Some are of the opinion that there is no need providing welfare. I personally reckon that the government should support the elderly people.
On one hand, some claim that many old people have enough money to live their rest of life with a high living standard. Many people can get high salary during service period. Others are involved in various types of businesses after their retirement and earn money enough for their lives. Yet,the proportion of these group are perceived to be less than those who cannot achieve money after retired for the whole country.Besides, helping from governments can make citizens uncompetitive or not spending money wisely which probably make country lessen down.
However, many people earn low salary and cannot save significant amount of money. They do not have enough money for living after their retirement. They probably find jobs which generate income for them. However, Senior individuals's healths are not suitable for the selected jobs. Retired people were helping government and the country during their working life. They deserve a better, healthier and happier life after stopped working. Government should not neglect these people who used to help the country develop prosperously. Plus,In present day family relationship is not so tight compared to the past. Children tend to live separately from their parents after they have become mature. Unfortunately, some families may put parents to almshouse due to the boredom of looking after them. Moreover,as clearly be seen from many places there are many elder beggars asking for money from people along the walkways.To tackle such manners,authorities have to provide various benefits such as monthly allowance,free medical check-up ,and so on.
All in all,I would reiterate that Government should provide care and financial support to those retired elderly people who are not capable of standing the expenses to live a good life but those who are able to live well with their own money can be exempt.

Final Analysis: The Neurotic's Guide to Relaxation
So you want to chill out? Go right ahead. No judgment here; just some facts.
By November 5, 2013 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016published
People claim yoga is so effective that it can change one's personality. From what I can tell, that mostly means creating an insatiable desire to talk about yoga. Basically it comes down to this: Would you like to be tense and cool, or relaxed and annoying?
Side effects May include wrist soreness, increased body odor, and sudden bouts of accidental farting.
Deep breathing might calm you down, but meanwhile you'll appear to others as if you're staving off a homicidal rage.
Side effects Expect light-headedness, hyperventilation, and halitosis—and to make everybody around you tense as hell.
Meditation is kind of like a nap, except you aren't permitted to fall asleep. First, sit in the most uncomfortable position possible: cross-legged on the floor. Then close your eyes and release all judgment, because meditation is mostly about trying not to get mad at yourself for failing to successfully meditate.
Side effects You can look forward to the experience of pure relaxation—a feeling that will stay with you for the rest of the day, even while you're walking straight into traffic.
How can exercise—which feels terrible—make you so happy later? Perhaps it's just stopping exercise that feels good. Let's put it this way: Say you hit your knee with a drywall hammer. You'll be relieved once the pain goes away. But what if you didn't hit your knee with that hammer? You'd probably feel consistently decent.
Side effects Pulled groin, sprains, blisters, fatigue, and a sticky layer of sweat.
Pills and booze always work. You'll feel great, and very relaxed. So relaxed that you might even be able to meditate.
Side effects You'll be abandoned by everyone who loves you and die at 38.

My dad taught me long ago that Adams peanut butter was superior to all others. He was a clear supporter of the peanuts-and-salt-only tradition. Back then there were few options on the nut butter shelf. I didn't think much of it then.
But I've since had many debates with friends over the years. My issue: Do you want peanut-flavored margarine, or do you want peanut butter? And don't get me started on crunchy versus creamy. These are the important issues.
When I got married, I had to compromise my position on "real" peanut butter. My husband grew up on the opposite end of the spectrum — it's really a wonder we ever ended up together. We now have two different peanut butter jars in our cupboard, as well as a few other nut butters. But I failed to indoctrinate my kids. They both gag when I try to push my all-natural peanut butter.
As it turns out, peanut-flavored shortening is best for cookies. I've tried to make the natural peanut butter work, but it doesn't do what I want. Peanut butter cookies are notoriously crumbly, and the reason the cross hatch on them is so iconic is that they need to be flattened out — without help they don't spread.
I like every cookie chewy, the kind that sticks together even when you make it big. It should be thick, doughy in the middle and crunchy on the edge. It should form and spread like a chocolate chip cookie.
Pulling cookies out of the oven at the right time is a huge part of getting the texture right. I have a problem with alarms and timers. I'd much rather check on progress myself, even if I do so too many times. Perfectly baked cookies will have already puffed and are starting to settle back down. They will be just a touch golden on the top.
I have a friend who encourages me to leave my last batch in the oven until they're downright burnt. He actually prefers it. The amount of diversity in the world is astounding.
Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies
- 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup Skippy or Jif creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2-2/3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2-1/4 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
- Turbinado sugar (optional)
With mixer using paddle attachment, beat butter, peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Scrape sides of bowl and add 1 egg, mixing until incorporated, and then the other egg, along with vanilla. Beat until sugar is almost dissolved and mixture feels a little gritty, about 5 to 7 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl again.
In separate bowl, place flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture all at once. With mixer set on low, stir flour into dough until just incorporated, about 45 seconds.
Onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet, scoop out dough with an ice cream scoop with a release handle, or measure out a heaping 1/4 cup. Flatten tops just slightly. Sprinkle each with pinch of turbinado sugar if using.
Place cookie sheet into freezer 30 minutes prior to baking. (This is an important step.) If you choose to freeze longer, be sure to let dough thaw slightly before baking. It should be cold but not frozen through.
Heat oven to 375 degrees and remove 6 pieces of dough from freezer. Arrange them on another parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, then check for doneness. Bake for up to an additional 3 minutes, checking texture after each minute. Remove from oven when cookies are golden brown on edges, middle is barely done and they still seem raw straight from the oven.
Let cookies cool on pan for 2 minutes and then remove to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Cool at least 10 minutes before eating, although the thick and chewy texture is better after cooling and sitting for much longer. Store in an airtight container for eating the next day, or in the freezer for longer. Makes 2 dozen large cookies.

Wayne Coyne Is Dead To Me
Well, that's it. It's over. Done. There's no saving it.
Like most music journalists, I just viewed the Miley Cyrus and Wayne Coyne (it's not a Flaming Lips collaboration, you and I know it) video collaboration "Blonde SuperFreak Steals The Magic Brain." Apparently I'm supposed to be impressed with a constant loop of the string section from The Flaming Lips' "All You Need Is Love" cover along with Miley Cyrus screaming "fuck!" while a naked lady runs around with aliens. Now don't get me wrong, I'm always down for a little avant garde performance art. But, not when it's the most forced and pretentious thing I've seen in quite a while. Here's the bottom line: Miley Cyrus makes pathetic cliched pop music, and so far she's never proved herself as anything else than a hyper-managed pop star who's every move is precisely planned out. The Flaming Lips are the one of, if not, the most innovative rock band of the last several decades. They deliberately messed with the rules, both musically and on stage. Whether you're talking about the pure genius of the Zaireeka concept, the practically unknown magician that is Ronald Jones, or the paralyzingly depressing The Terror, it's very easy to see why I don't consider Miley Cyrus and The Flaming Lips to be in the same realm of musicians. But, however, Wayne Coyne and Miley Cyrus are slowly becoming the same types of people. Bullshitty, fake, pop stars. Wayne Coyne is no longer the mystical magician of a frontman he once appeared to be. He is now the man known for kicking out longtime Flaming Lips drummer Kliph Scurlock because he spoke his mind, and smoking weed with Miley Cyrus. Why? Well, that's a great question that I don't know the answer to. But here's what I do know. Wayne Coyne is dead to me. As a dedicated fan for years of The Flaming Lips, it really hurts to see him make the change from frontman to fake celebrity and still pretend that the music he once helped create has any sort of value other than furthering The Flaming Lips live agenda. In a way, I'm almost relieved that they've taken almost all songs from The Terror off the setlist. Because those songs are so emotionally powerful for me personally, I just don't think they should even bother with it. Their live set is nothing more than a party that Wayne orchestrates now. And he knows it. Some people might be ok with this, and that's fine. Their shows are meant to be enjoyed, so I can't say that people should stop going if they're looking for a good time. But I can't support Wayne Coyne's BS anymore. And this god awful, overblown, pretentious LSD trip with Miley Cyrus is the nail in the coffin. Thanks for all the good things you've given us Wayne, but I hate what you stand for now. If the Flaming Lips is all about love, as you insist, prove it to me.

It has been a little crazy around here for blog time. Keeping a journal was never my strong suit. It has been a most exciting May. Two Birthdays.. a visit from my sister, a visit from my parents later this week, and my oldest graduates!!! I am proud though that my lack of documentation doesn't mean I gave up.
I confirmed my deep passion for food last week, when I got to share my new recipes with my sister. I even teared up a bit when she LOVED the vegan sausage. I made a extra big batch so we could have left overs and guess what I did…. I used the sausage in a omelette! It was very very good, but I forgot to snap a photo.
I did remember to take a not so great photo of the banana cream pie. IT WAS SO GOOD it made me giggle. It was so good we still are talking about how good it was…however, I'd rename it coconut banana cream pie because then you won't be fooled to think its just bananas.
I never was a super fan of people in my youth. I liked movie stars or boy bands.. but I didn't get all star struck on anyone. Some how my fandom attitude has bloomed and I am totally star stuck, in awe, or just down right grateful for awesome people. I was so excited when my Chef Chloe books came, but even more excited when I got my Minimalist Baker's cook book. Even MORE excited they are exclusive, none of these recipes are on her amazing blog.
And in my hast to snap a photo of my first recipe from the book.. I took this. A bad picture doesn't capture the good flavor.
One of the cool things about vegan burgers.. there are tons of ways to make them. So its never the same old burger around here. So far this one goes to the top of the list. The great thing about making these, the kids eat the left overs with BBQ sauce like chicken nuggets.
Kailey wanted a fruity cake this year, and I in my hast to throw something together I made a orange cake with raspberry frosting. The frosting was not a win for me. even though the kids loved it.. I should have researched more recipes. The cake was a white cake from who else.. M.B. and I added the zest of one orange. If you are wondering why the cake looks so dark, its because I used coconut sugar.
OH MY GOSH!! We have another winner of a dinner here!!!! The worst thing about this dinner is it serves 3-4. We didn't read that and we were fighting for scraps! IT was sooooooo good. Brooks said he would pay a lot of money to eat it again. HAHA
This diet has not been with out some challenges. Here are just a few things I have had.
- With picky eaters I failed to realize that some of the kids were not getting enough iron. I assumed with their multi vitamins I didn't have to worry about these things. I failed to realize gummy vitamins (my little dude really has a hard time swallowing pills) do not have iron in them! So I am looking into so super food supplements to put into the smoothies.
- Time vrs. Hunger. Preparing dinners takes time. I am horrible at planing things because I feel like every time I plan a dinner I don't feel like eating it, or other people in the family complain. Sometimes we all want that dinner that takes a hour to make and it is already 6:30. We have a local natural pizza chain, its been the go to when this momma doesn't want to cook, but I don't know how ideal this is. I also really like Annie's frozen meals they have been a great backup plan when I can't make dinner. I have an idea of what meals I will make in the week, I buy and have good intentions for that cabbage in the fridge, but by the end of the week sometimes it sits in the back of the fridge sad.. and alone.
My guilt set in JUST for a little bit, when I realized we weren't hitting all our nutritional needs, but then I just happen to see a obese person on tv, and when they tested their blood they were very malnourished. Low b's low iron, low protein levels.. you name it you would think that person was starving.That person eating pizza, burgers and fries, and who knows what else. I think people unfamiliar with a veggie based lifestyle can be quick to point out that it is bad because these things happen. But I have always had a problem meeting my protein intakes. I have always had low iron, I have also always struggled with getting daily fruit and veggie intakes. I feel like besides a little more learning and tweaking in this lifestyle, I am actually doing much better then before.
Change doesn't happen overnight. Slow and steady.

Breaking down YSU's fall camp roster
by Joe Scalzo - "A blog about YSU Penguin athletics, not the insides of penguins." | 155 entries
On Tuesday, Bo Pelini starts his first training camp at Youngstown State. He takes over a team with eight returning starters on offense and, on paper, another seven on defense. Of the 98 players on the roster, 66 were with the team in the fall.
Here's a breakdown of the roster, which is YSU's most talented in years:
Who's back: Sophomore Hunter Wells (returning starter), junior Tanner Garry, sophomore Ricky Davis.
Who's new: Freshman Nathan Mays.
Scouting report: After winning the job midway through the season, Wells is now entrenched as the starter, having impressed Pelini during spring camp. He threw for 1,772 yards, 14 TDs and seven interceptions last fall in 10 games (seven starts). Davis is a talented athlete with a big arm. Mays is a four-year starter from Urbana, Ohio, who earned second team All-Ohio last season. Dante Nania, who started five games last fall, transferred to Slippery Rock.
Who's back: Junior Martin Ruiz (returning starter), junior Jody Webb, senior Demond Hymes, sophomore Ryan Moore (out for year — ACL tear).
Who's new: Redshirt freshman Tevin McCaster, freshman Joe Alessi.
Scouting report: This was a team strength until Moore went down with an ACL tear early in spring practice. Ruiz (who ran for 1,320 yards and 10 TDs last fall) and Webb (715 yards, 9 TDs) give YSU as good a 1-2 punch as anyone in the conference, but there's not a lot of depth behind them.
Who's back: Senior WR Andrew Williams (returning starter), senior WR Andre Stubbs (returning starter), senior TE Kintrell Disher, junior TE Jacob Wood, junior WR Joe Gallinatti, sophomore WR I'tavious Harvin, sophomore WR Jaylon Brown, sophomore WR Darien Townsend, sophomore TE Shane Kuhn, sophomore TE Anthony Parente (moved from offensive line), redshirt sophomore TE Kevin Rader (moved from defensive line), redshirt freshman WR Michael Callender, redshirt freshman WR Robert Byrd (moved from defensive back).
Who's new: Freshman WR Darius Shackleford, freshman WR Ryan Emans, freshman WR Jermiah Braswell, freshman WR Tre'von Williams, freshman WR Isiah Scott, freshman WR Chad Swanson, freshman TE Mark Schuler, freshman TE Joey Davidson.
Scouting report: Williams had a breakout season last year, catching 47 passes for 776 yards and four TDs in MVFC play alone, while Stubbs combined for more than 500 yards rushing and receiving. But there are a lot of question marks after those two. Harvin has the potential to be YSU's No. 3 receiver and it's a safe bet that one or more of the freshmen will see some playing time this fall. At tight end, Wood can follow in the footsteps of TEs like Carson Sharbaugh (2013) and Nate Adams (2014) as an solid blocker/occasional receiving threat. Disher, whose knee injuries nearly ended his career, is an intriguing player to watch.
Who's back: Senior T Trevor Strickland (returning starter), junior G Brock Eisenhuth (returning starter), junior G Dylan Colucci (returning starter), sophomore T Justin Spencer (returning starter), junior T Christian Wilson, junior G Matt Bell, sophomore C Cole Newsome, sophomore T Cameron Fraser, redshirt freshman C Charles Zaborsky, redshirt freshman T Jeff Rotheram, redshirt freshman T Warren Marlowe
Who's new: Redshirt freshman Cole Costy (2014 recruit who was not on fall roster), freshman Cole McKenry, freshman Gavin Wiggins, freshman James Wilson, freshman Jacob Zinni.
Scouting report: This should be a team strength if they can stay healthy, something that didn't happen in the spring. YSU returns four starters, with Newsome expected to step in at center for the graduated Stephen Page. Spencer earned preseason first team all-conference honors.
Who's back: Senior DE Terrell Williams (returning starter), senior DT Emmanuel Kromah (returning starter), junior DE Derek Rivers (returning starter), senior DE Eric Myers, senior DT Steve Zaborsky, junior DE Joshmere Dawson, junior DT Rickey Hagood II, sophomore DT Milton Williams, sophomore DE Fazson Chapman, redshirt freshman DT Cody Squiric.
Who's new: Junior DE Avery Moss (transfer from Nebraska who practiced during spring), junior DL Donald Mesier (transfer from Mesa Community College), freshman DL Shereif Bynum, freshman DE Steven Wethli, freshman DT Lamont Ragland, freshman DT Savon Smith.
Scouting report: The MVFC's best teams typically have outstanding defensive lines and the Penguins finally have the depth and talent to match up. Rivers, a preseason first team all-conference pick, set a YSU record with 14 sacks in the regular season last fall and Williams added 10. Moss had a promising start with the Cornhuskers until he was kicked off the team for a public indecency charge. This unit overwhelmed YSU's beat-up offensive line in the spring game.
Who's back: Senior Dubem Nwadiogbu (returning starter), junior Jaylin Kelly (returning starter), sophomore Mike Palumbo (returning starter), sophomore Cole Kochman, sophomore Lee Wright, redshirt freshman Nathan Pittman, redshirt freshman John Linkosky, redshirt freshman Johnson Louigene (moved from defensive line).
Who's new: Freshman Christiaan Randall-Posey, freshman Vincent Schnell, freshman Cash Mitchell, freshman Curtis Parks, freshman Armand Dellovade
Scouting report: Nwadiogbu deserved all-conference honors last fall, recording 104 tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss. Kelly, the middle linebacker, had 84 tackles and looked improved in the spring. Pelini spent as much time praising Wright as any player in the spring.
Who's back: Senior SS Tre' Moore (returning starter), junior CB Nate Dortch (returning starter), senior CB Kenneth Durden, junior CB Eric Thompson, junior CB Deion Hall, junior CB David Rivers, junior SS Jameel Smith, junior FS Kenny Bishop, sophomore CB Sidney Sandidge (moved from RB), sophomore CB D.J. Thomas, sophomore FS Shane Dixon (injured — will miss training camp), redshirt freshman CB Chrispin Lee.
Who's new: Junior SS LeRoy Alexander (transfer from Nebraska), junior SS Jamar Pinnock (trasnfer from Scottsdale Community College), sophomore FS Jalyn Powell (transfer from Michigan State), freshman CB Avery Larkin, freshman CB Mike Nash, freshman S Kyle Hegedus, freshman Zack Torbert
Scouting report: Moore had a solid season last fall after taking over for Smith in the starting lineup. Smith, a starter as a freshman, turned in a strong spring. Durden, who sat out the season after USF refused to release him, has elite talent for this level. There are still a lot of question marks here, but if they don't get answered, it won't be for a lack of options.
Who's back: Sophomore K Connor McFadden, redshirt freshman P Nick Sheely.
Who's new: Freshman K Zak Kennedy (enrolled early and practiced in spring).
Scouting report: YSU lost starting kicker/punter Joey Cejudo to graduation and his replacements had a shaky spring, to say the least. McFadden did have a solid spring game but this could be the team's biggest weakness.
Who's back: Offensive coordinator Shane Montgomery, offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo, defensive coordinator Ron Stoops (promoted from linebackers coach).
Who's new: Bo Pelini (head coach), Carl Pelini (defensive line), Brian Crist (wide receivers), Kyle Brey (tight ends), Pepe Pearson (running backs), T.J. Hollowell (linebackers), Richard McNutt (secondary), Tim Marlowe (assistant secondary).
Scouting report: After fielding lousy defenses for most of the Eric Wolford era, the Penguins should improve under Pelini, who made his reputation on that side of the ball. He's vowed to play press coverage in the secondary, which should thrill YSU fans tired of watching the cornerbacks play 10 yards off the ball to avoid giving up the big play. With Montgomery back on offense, the other big question is on special teams, which was another Wolford weakness. Pelini won at least nine games every year at Nebraska, which was good enough to get him fired. Here, it would be good enough to get him in the playoffs. I think YSU would settle for eight wins and the program's first postseason berth since 2006.

As Members get used to the all-new eMusic, we've heard a lot of great feedback on changes we've made in purchasing, storing and managing your music collection in the My Music cloud. Some have noted that the eMusic Download Manager is no longer supported on the new site – this is true! This post is to reflect on how we came to that choice.
The eMusic Download Manager (DLM) has long been a cause of frustration for many Members. The original code in the eMusic DLM is now incompatible with several modern browsers. Even if the code is compatible, regular browser updates often cause new conflicts with the DLM – creating unnecessary moments of customer dissatisfaction.
Another reason for us to move away from the eMusic DLM was because of advancements in software security. Third-party plug-ins like the DLM are often rejected by new operating systems or security software, and require special permissions to be enabled. Security is a very important issue and no one wants to install and maintain third-party software unless it's absolutely necessary. Considering the advancements in browser technology, we felt the browser's native downloading capabilities would provide a more familiar and stable experience for our users.
However, as we intend our service to be an end-to-end music management service, we understand users with large collections may need a solution for synchronizing their music between devices and their My Music cloud library. This includes bulk uploading of large collections, recovery of lost music, and automatically synching new purchases with a dedicated pc or server. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we've got you covered. We're currently developing a two-way sync agent to better serve our serious collectors with more advanced music management needs. Stay tuned for more details.

For todays post I am sharing with you all a little look at the MAC Hue Glaze Lipstick. I have had this lipstick for some time and used it after a long hiatus today. I was drawn to this colour as I just wanted a natural low key look on my lips, and this lipstick was perfect for achieving just that.
MAC Hue is a lovely pale pink peachy nude that works particularly well with a smokey eye. I do however find that this lipstick picks up every line on my lips, and I don't find this quality particularly flattering. I think I would achieve a better quality finish applying a lip liner first to act as a base and also darken the colour a little.
I applied this in the morning, and it only lasted about an hour. As the finish is so sheer it was very easy to reapply so I did not find that this was a problem.
I have very pigmented lips and found this colour a little too pale for me, but if you are fairer you may be able to make this work. In future I plan to use this to lift matte lipsticks. I am particularly looking forward to trying it over MAC Velvet Teddy.
You can purchase the MAC Hue lipstick for £15.50 from MAC counters nationwide.
Have you tried this lipstick? I would love to hear your thoughts!
Talk to you all soon x

About Breast lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical operation designed to change the shape of a person's breasts and to return it to a more youthful position.
A breast lift can correct the drooping of breasts as a result of:

Mastopexy surgery may involve repositioning the areola and nipple as well as lifting the breast tissue, tightening and removing skin.
It can be performed alone or for optimum results in conjuction with either:
- Breast reduction surgery or a
- Breast augmentation procedure
The breast lift before and after pictures below will prove as examples of what I mean with a "natural" appearance.
Please browse this website's testimonials and FAQs section to ensure that you can get some of your immediate questions answered.
During Breast lift surgery
During breast lift surgery, the technique used will be dependent on the extent of the mastopexy required.
The most common techniques include:
- Inverted "T"
- McKissock design
- "Donut lift"
Inverted "T" breast lift technique
The traditional matopexy technique is the inverted "T" or "anchor incision", whose name derives from the shape of the incisions.
It is a widely used technique because it consistently produces the desired shape and position of the breast on the chest wall, giving maximum change to the breast.
McKissock design breast lift technique
A McKissock design is a very safe mastopexy technique that provides good cosmetic results. There are three scars: 0ne on the crease of the breast, a central vertical scar below the nipple and a third scar around the nipple.
"Donut lift" mastopexy technique
Another popular form of modified breast lift surgery is the 'donut lift'. The "donut lift" is a procedure involving fewer incisions but with less change to the breast's shape.
General anaesthetic is needed for the operation and you need to remain in hospital for 2 nights. The incisions will be closed using dissolvable sutures beneath the skin and a skin adhesive; there is no need to remove sutures.
The scars from the incisions will fade slowly over several months, but it may take up to 18 months to refine completely.
After Mastopexy
After breast lift (mastopexy) surgery you will most likely experience some pain and swelling. The bulk of the swelling will likely settle down within two weeks. However, some swelling and hardness of the breast tissue may persist for several weeks post surgery.
A special bra is usually worn to support the breast for up to three months because it:
- Provides support
- Enhances comfort and
- Helps reduced swelling.
The compression bra is an important part of the recovery process.
After the breast lift procedure, you will most likely be able to return to work within three weeks. However, as with any other cosmetic surgery, it is important that you do not engage in any strenuous activity and lifting for approximately four to five weeks, otherwise it could delay the healing process and compromise the final results of the mastopexy.

Life After Bankruptcy
There is life after bankruptcy. Unlike many bankruptcy attorneys, I provide practical support and coaching to help you navigate the process of repairing and building your credit. If you fully embrace your bankruptcy as the "fresh start" it is, you can position yourself to begin building real financial security, protecting yourself against future financial chaos, and living life without all the stress that comes from overwhelming debt.
You and I will work together to rebuild the credit score you deserve. Believe it or not, you'll qualify for good to great interest rates within a year—saving you money on credit cards and loans—and can even qualify for a home mortgage within two years. Armed with the customized Credit Rehabilitation Plan I'll create for you, we'll launch a campaign to restore your credit score by:
- Paying all your bills on time; this will take careful budgeting and tracking on your part.
- Obtaining a secured credit card, then charging small amounts each month and repaying as agreed.
- Signing a lease on a rental home, then paying your rent on time each month.
- Reviewing your credit report annually to make sure there aren't any errors.
- Buying a home within two years after your bankruptcy, then paying your mortgage on time each month.
It's a common myth that just because your bankruptcy appears on your credit report for up to 10 years, you won't be able to buy a home for 10 years. Not true! In fact, it's possible to qualify for a mortgage within two years after filing for bankruptcy. An FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loan, which is ideal for people coming out of bankruptcy, is often more flexible than a loan offered by traditional lenders.
With your overwhelming debt behind you, a solid budget guiding you, and the responsible use of credit helping you rebuild your credit score, life after bankruptcy can be extremely freeing and rewarding.

The first one is by far the best...more in focus. nice shot.
Beautiful images.. My favourite is the 1st image for the sharpest focus and also because I really like the reflections you captured in the background.. The 2nd image is also very beautiful.
Sometimes you just get lucky, eh Jon? The first one is the stand-out for me because of the larger dof.
First one for me also. You have done well to get a shot without clutter in the BG which I always have problems with.

Frontline care neglected as Liberals focused on central bureaucracy
April 26, 2017
For Immediate Release
HALIFAX – NDP Health Critic Dave Wilson says Stephen McNeil's focus on creating a centralized health bureaucracy has failed patients, their families and the people who deliver front line health care.
"In the last election Stephen McNeil told Nova Scotians that a centralized health authority would be the solution to everyone's health care needs," said Wilson. "Three years later, ER closures are up, wait times for surgery are up, the number people without a family doctor are up and Stephen McNeil refuses to take any responsibility for being distracted building a health bureaucracy he created and no one asked for."
Yesterday, Minister of Health Leo Glavine admitted he was unaware of and could not answer any questions related to a patient dying in the hallway of the Halifax Infirmary.
"This government is out of touch with the real problems people are facing when they try to get access to the health care they need," said Wilson. "How can the government be accountable to people if they don't know what's going in our hospitals? Why doesn't the Health Minister know what's going on?"
Stephen McNeil's obsession with creating a health bureaucracy has meant primary care, emergency rooms, wait times, and other health services have been neglected.
Today, Doctors Nova Scotia appeared before the Public Account Committee. Representatives told the committee that the Liberals have no plan to recruit new doctors and have not made good on a commitment to train an additional 25 doctors per year at the Dalhousie medical school. The province's own Physician Resources Plan estimates that we need 100 new doctors each year for 10 years to address the shortage. There are currently 118 vacant doctor positions in the Nova Scotia Health Authority.
"Even our doctors are saying their concerns are being ignored by this government. We have a doctor shortage and there is no plan from the Liberal government, and the commitment to train more doctors turns out to be just another broken Liberal promise," said Wilson. "The arrogance of Stephen McNeil and this Liberal government is an insult to Nova Scotians. An NDP government will listen to health care workers, doctors, and communities. Together, we can improve patient care for everyone."

It's no secret that I love reading and since getting a Kindle for Christmas I've manage to read more than ever. However, when I got it I knew I would never stop getting actual books, as to me there is something so special about an actual book. So here's the last few that I picked up.
- Impulse by Ellen Hopkins
- The Dead Summer by Helen Moorhouse
- The Gospel According To Coco Chanel by Karen Karbo
- 10th Anniversary by James Patterson
- 11th Hour by James Patterson
I'm really excited to read some of these especially the 2 James Patterson ones as I've been a fan of the series since the beginning. I somehow missed the 10th one being released so I had to get the 2 of them!
I've been itching to read The Dead Summer since I read this review by Sharon over on Behind Green Eyes on it.
I loved all the 'How to be a Godess' type books so I'm hoping the Chanel one will be just as good.
The only one I'm unsure of is the Impulse one as it is written in verse but we'll see how it goes.
Any good book recommendations for me?

Dissect Journal is a new contemporary art publication that presents a range of longer essays, shorter reviews and artist pages. If it is true that contemporary art both reflects and refracts an image of the world, as it is both of it and provides more of it, then attempts to address contemporary art must themselves be varied and complex. In the variety of material published within its pages, Dissect Journal seeks to reflect the manifold interconnections between contemporary art and the world. Featuring both emerging and established contributors, the publication strives for a sustained and intelligent engagement with contemporary art. It aims to analyse and interrogate the work of contemporary artists from various vantage points, sculpting and refining multiple histories of and responses to contemporary art.

It has been another tough week in thesis land. At the moment I am working on finalising chapters (and trying to ingnore any new information from sneeking in). Although I did find Jo Turney's book 'The Culture of Knitting' in the uni library and it is so good. I'm calling it both a karmic lucky find - you know when you go walking up the aisles at the library and just stumble upon the perfect book you have been hoping for - and the driving me crazy with jealousy book, as it feels like it is just what I want to write myself.
However, things have been quite grim, at times I feel on the verge of tears...I keep reminding myself that it will be over soon. That this is the most difficult part but it will be worth it.
I also found the work of artist Sally England, which has been a huge inspiration to my day. She works in 3D and 2D, using craft techniques including macrame
and the Mr Moustace cushion, which I think is just genius...can I have one for my bedroom please?
how handy, you can store the moustaches in a back pocket. So clever!

May is National Mobility Awareness Month
National Mobility Awareness Month is an annual celebration each May in the United States and Canada. The awareness month encourages people with disabilities to embody the spirit of Life Moving Forward by raising awareness of the mobility solutions available in your community.
Millions of Americans are affected
According to the census bureau, about 56.7 million people reported some type of disability in 2010. Of these individuals, approximately 30.6 million had difficulty walking or climbing stairs or used a wheelchair, cane, crutches or a walker. In addition, roughly 9.4 million noninstitutionalized adults had difficulty with at least one activity of daily living. These activities included getting around inside the home, bathing, dressing and eating. Furthermore, approximately 5 million of them required some type of assistance with their daily activities. These numbers are only expected to rise.
There are numerous reasons one might experience limited mobility including issues such as arthritis, stroke, pulmonary or neurological diseases, injury or trauma as well as many others. Regardless of the cause, everyone seeks the same solution of how to keep moving. Fortunately, New Visions Medical Equipment, Inc. focuses on improving the lives of those with disabilities because they deserve to live, and their disability shouldn't be a sentence.
There are many assistive devices available to help and a host of solutions to fit the unique needs of each individual.
Canes: A cane may be sufficient for individuals requiring just a little extra support with walking. However, a quad cane provides added support with a larger and steadier base, but is also somewhat bulkier than a traditional cane.
Walkers: A walker works well for someone who depends more on the equipment for safety. Both hands are utilized with a walker to offer more balance. Wheels are optional and allow the walker to glide along rather than lifting the walker to progress forward.
Rollators: A rollator is a walker with four wheels, a seat and handbrakes. This piece can be utilized instead of a walker with wheels, but the seat is a great feature allowing the user a place to sit and rest when needed. Most rollators come with some sort of basket for personal items.
Wheelchairs: Wheelchairs are available in many different models with many different features; however, a standard wheelchair is similar to what you will see in retail stores, hospitals, etc. for public use. Generally the standard type of wheelchair is available in different widths and weight capacities to allow for the body habitus, but there isn't a lot of adjustability beyond that. These wheelchairs usually weigh somewhere around 40 pounds and can be burdensome to maneuver as well as transport. However, these are typically the least costly. They are a nice option for the individual who is not in the wheelchair all day long but rather uses it occasionally. Of course, if the standard wheelchair is not for you, there are other possibilities such as transport wheelchairs, lightweight wheelchairs and ultra-lightweight wheelchairs.
Power Mobility Scooters: If walking aids and manual wheelchairs are not sufficient to get you around, then the next step is a power mobility scooter. Scooters are generally available in 3- or 4-wheel models. They are operated utilizing both hands on a tiller to control steering as well as speed. Scooters typically require a larger area to maneuver and many times are not the best option inside one's home. For this reason, most individuals choose such an item for outdoor use. A nice feature of a scooter, though, is that many of them can be taken apart and transported in a vehicle much easier than a power wheelchair.
Power wheelchairs: A power wheelchair is usually the best option for someone unable to propel themselves in a manual wheelchair throughout the home but who has the ability and cognition to operate a power wheelchair. One hand is utilized to control the speed and steering through the joystick. The joystick can be mounted on the left or right side to better suit the operator's needs. Power wheelchairs will turn in a much tighter radius than a scooter, which makes it the better choice for most in-home users due to tight operating spaces. However, this equipment is much heavier than a scooter and does not come apart to transport in one's vehicle as easily. As in manual wheelchairs, there are many models available ranging from basic to custom.
The vast majority of us know there are assistive devices available to help people safely ambulate such as canes and walkers. Most people are also aware that there are wheelchairs, scooters and power wheelchairs for those that are no longer able to walk or can only walk for very short distances. These are all items that are fairly accessible as long as you don't need anything "special". However, many do not realize that there are often times when the "standard" equipment isn't enough as these items are not a "one-size-fits-all item". What then?
New Visions Medical Equipment can provide you with whatever equipment it is you need, whether it is standard or custom. The possibilities are endless, but our mission is to provide you with a device that will offer you the maximum comfort level and allow you the greatest amount of independence.
When is customized equipment necessary?
Any full-time wheelchair user, whether manual or power, would most likely benefit from some customized features to ensure proper fit as well as have accessories incorporated that will offer the greatest level of independence. What does customization really mean? In reality, it means a wheelchair built specially for you and your needs with things such as armrests that can be adjusted in height for user comfort and possibly aid in transfers, a proper seat width and depth to accommodate your body habitus, a proper seat cushion to prevent skin breakdown, a back cushion to provide optimal positioning, added lateral supports for better trunk support, or whatever it is you need to help you live life to the fullest. The combinations are endless and these are just a few of the options available. So if you spend much time in a wheelchair and it is not meeting your needs, a custom wheelchair might be your answer.
Of course, if you have restricted mobility, a device to get you from place to place may not be the only beneficial piece of equipment for you. Following are some of the countless options available.
Lift chairs: An ideal candidate for a lift chair is someone who may need help getting in and out of their chair on a daily basis whether due to aging, arthritis or a recent surgery that limits their mobility. And because lift chairs look and feel like regular chairs–but possess a safety mechanism that can allow them to raise or lower the chair in order to easily stand up or sit down–they provide a friendly way of regaining independence. Typically, those in need of a standard lift chair are not able to get in and out of a chair by themselves. Lift chairs come in many sizes, models and colors to fit your home décor.
Stairlifts: There's no place that makes you more comfortable and secure than home. Stairs shouldn't become an obstacle to that contentment. Stairlifts make it easy to once again enjoy your entire home. Whether you need a stairlift to reach an upstairs bedroom or downstairs laundry, a stairlift is a fast, easy solution.
Patient Lifts: Patient lifts are designed to lift and transfer patients who are unable to do so on their own from one place to another using a sling. These medical devices are very beneficial in reducing risk of injury to patients and caregivers when properly used. Lift types vary from portable hydraulic or electric to stationary ceiling lifts.
Automatic Door openers: If you're struggling to get through doorways due to your limited mobility, it's important to understand all the advantages that come with installing automatic door openers. Automatic door openers do come in multiple models and designs, but for the most part, they're incredibly simple to use and maintain. They typically operate using either motion sensor technology or with a simple remote control or button. Ultimately, approximately 6.8 million Americans use assistive devices to aid their mobility, and automatic door openers are just one device that makes lives easier every single day.
We all use the bathroom every day and most of us take this activity for granted and never stop to consider what risks this might present us with. Statistics show the bathroom can be the most dangerous room in the home. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relates approximately 235,000 people over the age of 15 visit emergency rooms each year because of injuries they suffered in the bathroom. About 14 percent of these injuries result in hospitalization and roughly two-thirds of the injuries occur while bathing or showering. Although the shower or bathtub may propose the biggest risk, there are many other safety concerns in the bathroom. Many older adults have problems getting on and off the toilet, and this also leads to frequent falls. There are many precautions we can take to avoid a mishap, but unfortunately many individuals don't take these steps until it is too late.
Grab Bars: Beyond helping to prevent a dangerous fall, grab bars can improve your stability in the bathroom. They can help you safely enter and exit the shower as well as the toilet and provide support for individuals who are not steady on their feet.
Elevated toilet seats: It may not seem like much but a raised toilet seat is a huge quality of life investment for many individuals. We able-bodied individuals take our mobility for granted. Raised seats return independence for those less mobile.
Shower chairs: Using a shower or bath chair helps to increase safety by decreasing the chance of you falling by providing a secure area in a slippery shower or bath. Shower Chairs and Bath chairs are especially useful for those that are in wheelchairs, the elderly, or anyone who finds excessive movement painful or difficult.
Barrier free showers: For those who prefer to spend their 15 minutes of relaxation in a shower, a barrier free shower is a great alternative to a walk-in tub. The low barrier shower has an open side that is level to the floor, which eliminates the obstacle of stepping over a high shower wall and easily allows wheelchair accessibility.
Walk-in tubs: When living a comfortable, stress free life is most important, it is essential to enhance the home with a walk-in tub. The stress relief from a walk-in tub will help strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure, improve metabolism, manage diabetes and improve heart health.
Ramps: Wheelchair ramps enable physically disabled as well as elderly people to enjoy complete freedom, as they allow users to move in and around the home safely and freely. It is a cost-effective and practical solution to enhance mobility. By installing a ramp, scooter and wheelchair users can access steps, doorways, sliding glass doors, showers or even raised landings easily. The type of ramp most useful for you will depend on the application it is being used for and whether you are needing something portable or permanent. New Visions can help you choose a ramp depending upon the structure of your home. In order to comply with the handicap accessibility law, you will need one foot of ramp for every one inch of rise.
Vehicle lifts: You've got places to go! Scooter and power wheelchair lifts make it simple to take a mobility device with you. Transport your scooter or wheelchair inside or outside your vehicle. These lifts make it easy to keep you on the road.
It's challenging to make sure you or your loved one has whatever is needed to ensure quality of life. New Visions medical Equipment was established in 1998 to meet our daughter's needs and help her live life to the fullest. It's been exciting and rewarding to help others accomplish the same.
New Visions is a nationally accredited HME company serving all ages and abilities with custom rehab solutions. Our team offers a personal approach to truly finding the best solution for recuperation or for living an independent lifestyle.
Our company is a provider of all the different types of equipment mentioned above as well as much more. If you know of anyone needing any type of assistive device, please contact our office at 419-678-4979.

(Stephanie is a guest blogger from The Cozy Cook.)
Ahhh, the office. Whether the workday is spent in countless meetings or seated behind a computer, one thing remains certain: Food is a major perk. It wakes us up, gives us energy, and breaks up the day. That being the case, it can be very easy to over-indulge. (Blame those long afternoons, and the 2 o'clock hour in general.) Luckily, here are some tips to help us pull through pretty successfully.
1. Drink Lots Of Water
Water is a key factor in weight-management. It acts as a metabolism booster, appetite suppressant, and anti-bloating agent. Having a glass of water before each meal can also help immensely in consuming fewer calories during that meal. It's also a much healthier alternative over soda or sugary juices.
2. Bring Your Lunch From Home
Bringing your lunch from home allows you to pack sensible meal choices for yourself ahead of time so then when hunger strikes, lunch is served! We don't always make the best choices when we're starving so that's no time to make a rash lunchtime decision. Not only that, but it can be a huge money-saver. Take that savings and go do something fun! Buzzfeed has some ideas for easy, healthy lunch ideas.
3. Pack Plenty Of Snacks
Eating snacks in between meals keeps your metabolism going and keeps your body fueled. You'll also feel more satisfied, leaving less room for junk food cravings. Fruit, nuts, yogurt, veggies & light dip, hummus, granola, and cottage cheese are just some of the options at your disposal. You'll feel great and avoid the guilt!
4. Get Moving
Working in an office can be mentally stimulating, but our bodies need some action throughout the day as well. Sneak in as much exercise as you can, even if in small doses. Not only will you burn more calories, but physical activity has been known to boost productivity as well. Just check out these Deskercise Tips!
5. Set Goals And Rewards
Setting tangible goals for yourself gives you something specific to strive for, along with a reward for following through with it. Example: Stick to home-packed food for a week, and you've earned yourself a manicure! And bonus, you'll also feel better and maybe lose a few pounds while you're at it!
6. Find A Buddy
Don't underestimate the power in numbers! Find friends to get on the right track with. Friendly conversation will make those afternoon walks much more interesting, and you'll have someone to swap healthy recipes with! Feel a junk-food craving coming on? Coworkers can make a great support system (or at least a distraction!).
7. Check Your Habits
Have you ever caught yourself with a mouthful of chips and thought, "Wait, when did I start eating?!" We are all creatures of habit, so try to be extra mindful of your snacking habits in the office. When you do snack, appreciate every bite – slow down and enjoy. Move out any junk foods that are too tempting or unhealthy – you may just end up eating it without even realizing.
8. Treat Yourself
Don't deprive yourself completely. Not only is complete deprivation usually short-lived, but it's also not necessary. Treat yourself now and then! Whether it's a small Dove chocolate every afternoon or a small ice cream on Friday. This not only gives you something to look forward to, but it leaves you less likely to over-indulge on an unplanned snack attack.

Danny Boy de Flobecq Z in shared first place in Pavo Stallion Competition
25 / 03 / 2014
The Belgian Stallion Competition has its annual highlight last Saturday with the finals in Moorsele. In the category for 4-yr-olds five horses managed to stay clear in five successive rounds. One of these was the Z-registered stallion Danny Boy de Flobecq Z (Diamant de Semilly), bred by Marcel Fort and owned by Joris De Brabander. In the category for 6-yr-olds the stallion which was licensed by Zangersheide last year, Don's Diamant (Diamant de Semilly) from Dimitri Thaeymans, came sixth after having won the third round in Moerzeke earlier. In the category for 7-yr-olds the Z-licensed Clockwise of Greenhill Z (Clearway) from rider Philip Gysbrechts could not stay in the lead till the last. One jumping fault in the jump-off dropped the combination from first into third place. The final class For Passion d'Ive Z (For Pleasure) from Frederic Dekens did go clear twice, which was good for a third place.

That's a great chair. I would love to sit in it, a little table beside with me with either a good cup of tea (china cup!) and a scone or some such, or maybe lemonade or sweet iced tea...spiked with something potent. LOL.
Good luck tomorrow...No, I'm not prepared for August, either. :-/

Great chair, I too have a love of rockers. Two on the side porch, two on the deck, one in the bedroom and two glider/rockers in the living room. Oh and a rocker/recliner too. Plus a heavy wooden one, hub needs to redowel. Yup just love those rockers. Good luck at the doctors too.

To enter Rosy Keyser's twelve-painting show at Maccarone's Boyle Heights space, one had to pass a story-high Carol Bove grid sculpture in the gallery's side yard. The sculpture formally echoed neighboring buildings' paned factory windows and wrought-iron door grates, attuning this viewer to the three-dimensionality and underlying rectilinear structure of five paintings on view that Keyser made using wood-bead seat mats of the sort used by taxi drivers. The beaded cushions as well as bundles of string are variously twisted across exposed stretcher bars in these works, spilling into the viewer's space. The pieces are almost entirely absent canvas (the woven support appears in only one) and, like much of Keyser's previous works, can be considered both paintings and sculptures. In some, like Oh Gary Snyder, Where'd You Go? (all works 2017), Keyser painted the beads individually, building up geometric patterns or expansive monochrome passages. In others, such as Pieces of 8, she brushed paint straight across the mats, treating the surfaces as akin to the subtler texture of a canvas's warp and weft.
A series of canvas-based works called "Periscopes" suggests that Keyser may be moving away from messy, loose gestural abstraction and toward more controlled brushwork. In Large Blue Passport, which could be regarded as a transitional work, a black circle floats atop a chaotic field of bright blue and gray zigzag brushstrokes, cut off by the work's left edge. The circle motif reappears in the "Periscopes" but amid more structured compositions rendered in relatively subdued hues. Each features a centrally placed ring supported by a vertical armature, the apparatus suggestive of a pictorial realm subject to the forces of gravity. The rings read as lenses or peepholes. Some have darker-hued, crescent-shapes at their sides that indicate other circles behind them and thus convey a depth into which the optical devices might help us see. In works like Periscope, Cormorant's View, painted lines or brushy passages continue through the circles undisturbed. In Periscope #1, however, a black stroke morphs into a beige stripe only to come out the circle's other end in hazier bluish form; such deliberate inconsistencies recall science class demonstrations of visual distortions—as in the "broken" straw in a glass of water—and play with glib assumptions that seeing is knowing.
One of the "Periscope" paintings, Periscope, Sizhine Breath, takes its curious nomenclature from an Elizabeth Bishop poem that performs ekphrasis—or the act of vivid description, especially of a work of art. Yet Keyser's works prompt us to do more than recount what we see. They ask us to observe, just as a periscope permits a view of that which is otherwise out of sight, the conditions of how we look at a painting.
Who knew an achromatic palette could be so luscious? In "The Moon Ate Me," her second solo outing at Blum, Rosy Keyser made good on the promise of her gutsy 2007 solo debut with materially idiosyncratic paintings (all works 2009) built on seething blacks, grays, browns and metallics and stealthy whites. With the addition of tactile substances, Keyser enhances these neutrals' retinal reach, pitting matte and glossy, tarry and feathery, encrusted and diaphanous—in short, the concrete and the allusive.
Of the 19 works, seven large canvases, most approaching 8 by 6 feet, were the show's focus. Keyser insists on the autonomy of each work, and engages several spatial paradigms. Valentine for a Prizefighter is a low relief that sets a broken "V" made of flattened and sanded beer cans, many riddled with ragged holes, against a splotchy white and silver ground complicated by the loosely stretched canvas's puckered ripple. Like a lifted hand hiding a face, a lovingly brushed gray rectangle dominates What the Thunder Said, pushing the more turgid painterly action—think a goth Sam Francis—to the margins and emphasizing the canvas's topography.
Handfuls of sawdust clogsilky strandsof blackened fringe in The Ray. Elaborating on the sculptural proposition of its exposed stretcher bars, the work relates to eight small wall-mounted objects, hanging suitelike in the gallery's small front room, which variously engage birch bark, perforated leather, broken glass and rusty jigsaw blades. At over 8 feet tall, the spookily magnificent Fever Dream puts its clotted, dynamic surface in the service of a confounding illusionism. White spray paint skitters over areas of black enamel but settles into passages of dye and charcoal, teasing out unexpected spatial rifts. At the top of the canvas, a deformed arabesque in jet-black crushed obsidian looms out of the shadows.
This artist's range doesn't reveal equivocation but rather the desire to test limits, to cast a wide net. Four sculptures suggest narrative, albeit dimly. In Shooting at Weathervanes, the best (and largest), a slender steel pole angles out of a chunk of concrete, lofting overhead a wooden bow strung with rough twine. On a nearby wall, a large inkjet print bears a few dark smudges on an ashen ground. Physically spare yet psychically freighted, the work assumes a mythological dimension, evoking the huntress Diana, the sword in the stone and tilting at windmills. Afraid neither of grand themes nor of dirtying her hands, Keyser is onto something big.

Preliminary Accident Reports
July 1999 Issue
Apr. 14, Superior, Wis. / Cessna 152
At 14:11 CDT, Cessna 152 crashed five miles south of the Bong Airport, killing the flight instructor and student pilot. Witnesses reported the flight, which began about 10 minutes before the accident, was the student pilots first instructional flight. A witness said, What attracted my attention was that I became increasingly aware the plane was in an extended dive. I could hear the engine running throughout the entire dive. I looked up and saw the plane in a dive, at an extremely sharp angle of descent, heading west. The plane continued down long past the time I thought it should have pulled up until finally it reached the tree-top of my vision, disappeared from my view and I heard more of...

So what is a lady to do on a frosty winter night....well the first thing after a hearty dinner is a warm cup of tea and a bit of time to plan.
As we head into June we approach the third year of The Light in Winter is Federation Square's annual winter festival. The Light in Winter brings together artists, designers and communities to explore their ideas of light, enlightenment and hope.
This year the Light in Winter will include thirteen light installations with all power supplied for lighting installations is certified as Green Energy.
"On 20 June, thirteen of Melbourne's diverse communities will bring more light to winter and to the Square with The Gift of Light. Melbourne's community is invited to share in this celebration with music and performance on the weekend of the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year which marks the heralding of longer, brighter days."
from www.fedsquare.com.au
I adore this time of year as its a chance to get back in touch with all the joys of a roaring fireplace, hearty soups, warm bread rolls, lots of soft fluffy blankets and the great excuse for me to wear hats, scarfs and gloves when ever possible.
So now that I have my Winter Solstice plans taken care of its just a case of dusting of the cookbook for soups and chocolate desserts.


text: I have an established, cycled 20 gallon long tank. The filter contains: bio rings, filter polishing pad, carbon and filter foam. I'm setting up a 5 gallon tank from scratch. It will have shrimp and a snail or two. (very small bio load). I'd like to plant the 5 gallon and get the cycle going with seeded material. Do you think I should use the polishing pad in the 5 gallon to help the cycle *OR* do you think I could successfully swap the bio rings: putting the rings from the established tank into the new tank and putting new rings in the established tank? How harmful to the 20 gallon would it be to suddenly have the bio rings removed? Is there enough beneficial bacteria in the polishing pad, carbon and foam to keep the cycle? The 20 gallon also has sand substrate, plants and 3 large pitted rocks that would also have some bacteria.

Lots of treats and goodies for my gorgeous hubby today. But the best part was a homemade cake made by the kids, and a $1.40 packet of candles. We normally blow out the candles a few times because once is never enough, but tonight we took it to a whole new level. Spending what seemed like a very long time seeing who could blow them all out in one go and then who go blow the middle one out of three, and every now and then my little lad would go and get a new candle to add and that's how we ended up with all those different length candles. What a great night!

I LOVE the different length candles! I was thinking what a cute idea! They did good! :)
I can imagine the tear you cried over Talin over the weeks...He has touched me so deeply I can't even imagine knowing them & watching them go through what they are. Praying for them....for a long time to come.

Beastcurse is a spear in NieR RepliCant and NieR Gestalt (NIER). It is part of a set, along with Beastbain and Beastlord.
"A noble lord commissioned this beastly weapon that the world might stand in awe of his power."
Weapon StoryEdit
Once upon a time there were three brothers in a kingdom. The youngest of the three was a lazy person who slept through his days. But the youngest brother had a cheerful demeanor, so he was liked by everyone.
Even when an epidemic broke out in the country, the youngest brother merely hummed to himself while lazing about the palace. But the people in the city found healing in his cheery voice so they praised him. That person is amazing. He really is.
Even when the country was involved in war, the youngest brother merely talked about things past while lazing about the palace. But the people in the city could forget the war with his anecdotes and comforted each other. That person is wonderful, really wonderful.
One day, the youngest brother was lazing about the palace again. But today, he could not hear the voices of the people in the city. While lazing about, the youngest brother continued thinking… idle, "Why?" idle, "Why?" idle, "Why?" But he eventually became sleepy. In a country where everyone had died from sickness and war, only snores resounded throughout the palace today. This is a happy kingdom. A happy kingdom. A happy kingdom. A happy kingdom. A happy kingdom. A happy kingdom.

It's hard to believe 10 years have flown by. I became the person I am today because of the decision I made after having my sweet boy. I no longer was going to feel sorry for myself. I was no longer going to be ok with just getting by. I was going to make that change. I was going to break the cycle and show and prove to myself and my son that it could be done. After Karter was born, I could no longer afford to maintain my apartment. I could no longer work 3 jobs, I had to care for my son. I still worked 2 jobs, with the help of my family taking care of my baby. I had to move back in with my mother. I had to get rid of my amazing dog, Barley. I still think about him, wonder if he's still alive, he was a boxer and would have been about 13ish years old. He was there for me the many nights I cried and found myself questioning why is the point? It was hard to get rid of him, but I couldn't bring him to live with me at my mothers house, she had a dog that didn't get along with other dogs. Moving back in with my mother, meant I also moved back in with my 17 year old brother and sister. It was very tough. At one point in my life, I thought I was the best, very arrogant. Having my son at age 21 and being a single mom changed me in every single way possible. When my son, Karter was about 18 months old, I met my husband.
Chris was the father my son never had. He was and still is amazing. I just knew that he was the one.
If you are reading this, please remember, if you aren't happy with your life--you are the only one that can change that! Believe me, if I can go back to school, while planning a wedding, and having 3 children under the age of 5----ANY ONE can chase and catch that dream!!!
So in honor of my blessing Karter James, I am having a sale in my store, everything 20% off. Go check it out, and don't ever forget, you can make that change!!Momma with a Teaching Mission TpT Store
Take care!!
