Not too far north of Dunedin along the coast are the geological marvels of the moeraki boulders. Prior to our visit, I'd seen all kinds of pictures of these, they are on the cover of my NZ travel guide and this was my first chance to see them in real life. I was totally excited with anticipation as we left Dunedin. The travel guides suggested the best time to view the boulders was at low tide which would have been great except that when we consulted the tide schedules, low tide for the day we were going to be traveling was early in the morning or late in the evening, neither of which we could make accommodate our travel schedule. As it turned out, we arrived just before high tide and they were still marvelous. The sun was shining bright there was only a slight breeze and it felt warm compared to the days we'd been out and about in Dunedin. It's a very touristy spot; the buildings were built into a dome shape, undoubtedly to mimic the rock formations themselves. There was a lovely café and of course a gift shop. We enjoyed a delicious lunch as we gazed out over the ocean all without our coats on.
From here, Timaru was not much further and we only made one more stop at my request when we arrived at a beautiful picnic area along the coast with the Toi Toi highlighted in the sun against the backdrop of sand and waves. I just had to have a picture.
After we checked in at our new accommodation, we just settled in. Paul got set up for work, concerned about the internet connection and for dinner, I fried the last two eggs that we had. The next morning I began examining the city map in the luxury of our cozy warm room. It's so nice to relax inside without coats. The city has a plethora of parks and miles and miles of walking tracks. When I peeked outside to check the status of the dawn, there was a hint of pink in the sky and a fingernail moon, oh, and a fairly thick layer of frost on everything. The sunrise lured me to the beach, I layered up and made the short 5 minute walk to the beach at Caroline Bay. Captivated by the sunrise, I stood and watched as the blazing red ball emerged from the ocean feeling distinctly the presence of invisible life within me. I was looking forward to coming back to explore more of the beach area with Paul.
We'd already made plans to drive to lake Tekapo after he finished work. The drive was scenic, through more rolling green hills up toward the snowcapped mountains. They were dramatic, even against a bland, monochromatic, cloudy background, easy to imagine how spectacular the white caps would have looked against a blue sky. Lake Tekapo was just as we'd remembered, turquoise blue, surrounded by mountains, colder this visit compared to last, but still beautiful. After resting for a few minutes walking down to the shore and of course snapping photos, we decided to abandon the plans to drive the loop around through Twizel (pronounced "Twhy zell" more like twilight than twizlers) and Waimate and just return to Timaru the way we'd come.
It was time to do more grocery shopping. This again took longer than anticipated even though I'd compiled a definitive list. It just was a matter of navigating another unfamiliar and much larger supermarket, Pak n Save. Even though I was now equipped to prepare a couple "skillet" meals, as this room has a cooktop, we opted for one more dinner out. You're probably not surprised that we sought out another pizza joint. After enjoying a nice bottle of gewürztraminer with our pizza we walked home in the dark through the expansive park behind Caroline Bay. This we would see more clearly the next day.
I spent the morning working on prep for dinners so I could put them together more quickly come evening time. The forecast temperature looked very comfortable and turned out to be so, to our delight. We departed the motel at just after 11am and did not return until after the sun went down, 6 hours later. We started with a walk down to the Benvenue cliffs and then on the beach at Caroline Bay, a vast wide sandy beach with a network of wonderful boardwalk paths through the sand dunes. Beyond the dunes toward the city was an expansive park area where there is a skate park, an aviary, an amphitheater, a rose garden, a pool, a miniature train, sand volleyball parks, skating rink, tennis and basketball courts all with large spacious grassy areas intermingled. It was the most relaxing place to take a lengthy stroll, or a jog or a trip around the "fitness circuit" to the different stations that are set up with equipment to incorporate strength training with cardio exercise. There's a fountain incorporated within a beautiful set of stairs coupled with an elevator to take you up to street level where you can continue walking down Stafford street for an urban hike through numerous café's and shops. We took this walk too, went around the block and sorted out some insurance paperwork. When we made our way back to Stafford we stumbled upon a paper crafting store, I walked through admiring the creativity and chatting with the lady inside, I'd just missed my opportunity to be there for the weekly card class. Aw shucks! We stopped in a couple more shops for a bit of retail therapy and meandered in to Coffee Culture for a bagel sandwich and coffee-YUM! This would become a regular stop during our stay in Timaru, a definite favorite. After that we casually carried on back through the park taking time to walk through the aviary this time. The pink bird that greeted us on entry was rather sassy, just as I get when I feel trapped and confined. Looking back on the video that Paul captured and how "funny" I thought the bird was, it makes me wonder who's observing on the outside of my cage, finding my sass humorous and entertaining.
Then we were back on the beach, beckoned to linger, mesmerized by the waves and the birds. The sun was dipping low and the clouds looked promising for a nice sunset so we went back to the Benvenue cliffs where we'd started our day and waited for sunset. The sky was amazing and constantly changing. There we stayed to soak up the wonderful sunset in the sea air. What a treat. We both really like Timaru and can imagine how beautiful it'd be in the summer. It is smaller and quieter than Dunedin, it has awesome walking tracks and the beach is so relaxing.

A mother got the shock of her life when her Marine son showed up unexpectedly in her kitchen, fresh from a deployment in Japan.
Mom Rekita Lee hadn't seen her son, Tre'Vaughn Lee, since August 2016. ABC News reports she had no idea he was going to make it back home to Jacksonville, Florida for the holidays.
RELATED: Military dad surprised his daughter with an unexpected homecoming at zoo
Tre'Vaughn really threw his mom off the trail by telling her he was being sent on a training mission in a different location.
When he showed up at home on November 9, she let out an earsplitting scream and leaped into his arms.
"I literally thought I was going to have a heart attack. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't believe he's here," said Rekita.
Tre'Vaughn said he wasn't expecting such an enthusiastic reaction from his mom.
"I expected crying, but I didn't expect the big scream," said Tre'Vaughn.

T-Mobile's Giuseppe Guerini is perhaps best known for his win at Alpe d'Huez in 1999, when, while alone in the lead, an amateur photographer knocked him off his bike, apparently not realising just how close the Italian was while he looked through the viewfinder.
Guerini remounted and won, and still rates it as his best-ever win. "I knew immediately that it would be the victory of my career," he told L'Equipe.
Referring to the Alpe as "the climbers'
"Alpe d'Huez is a very strange climb," Guerini continued. "To win up there, you need to really know the climb, or have a good amount of experience."
Guerini - 49th overall, 36-23 down on race leader Oscar Pereiro - has both qualities, and will be hoping he has the legs to repeat his greatest-ever victory, adding to the stage win he took between Issoire and Le Puy en Velay at last year's Tour.

Entrprise Television- Sinosteel Signs Agreement to Invest $1bn in Zimbabwe
China's Sinosteel is to invest $1 billion in Zimbabwe to construct a power plant and increase ferrochrome output, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has disclosed.
"We will continue to review our process to facilitate investment inflows as well as ease of doing business," Mr. Mnangagwa said after signing an investment agreement with the Chinese firm.
According to Sinosteel President, Andong Liu, the firm plans to build a 400 MW coalbed-methane-fired power plant in western Zimbabwe, as well as three additional furnaces at its majority-owned Zimasco business, which would raise ferrochrome output by 120 000 t over the next five years to 300 000 t/y.
Mr. Liu also said he saw ferrochrome output from Zimasco at 500 000 t/y in ten years' time.
Mr. Mnangagwa, who came to power in November last year after a de facto military coup ended Robert Mugabe's 37-year rule, has promised to restore the Southern African country's economy by opening it up to foreign investors.

Parents As Partners
As a school community that prides itself on creating the most effective educational experiences for our students, we value parents with the utmost respect. We understand that their involvement in their child's education plays an integral role in their academic success. We are consistently working to help bridge the gap between home and schools. Many of our family engagement initiatives are unique to our school. Check out some of the ways we are working with our parents as partners below.
The Parent Teacher Home Visit Project
This is a program that was designed to increase the communication, trust and support between families and teachers through a home visit. This year teachers from our school will be visiting the homes of our first grade students. During these visits, parents, teachers and students will share hopes, expectations, and plans for academic success. We have implemented this program to help break down the barriers between parents and teachers. Both parents and teachers have expressed what a positive experience this has been and look forward to continuing these visits throughout the year. Stay tuned for interviews from parents and teachers about their visits.
Family Fridays
Beginning on Friday September 27th, families are invited to come to join us in our classroom on Friday from 1:30-2:20. The purpose of family Fridays if for you to get a better idea of the types of educational experiences your child participates in. This is a great chance for you to get involved and observe your child in the learning environment. It is important for you to arrive promptly at 1:30 and plan to stay for the entire activity. That way the children's learning will not be disrupted by extra arrivals and departures. If you have multiple children in the school, consider switching off Fridays so that you can be present for the entire period.
Highlights of Family Friday Fun!
Literacy Events
This special program brought to us through Scholastic Education will begin in January. We will be launching this program for Kindergarten parents to learn ways to enhance their reading experiences with their children. Parents that attend the workshop will receive free books to build their children's home libraries as well as tips for reading with their child.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Baton Rouge's top cop is re-organizing the city's police department.
Chief Dewayne White announced on Tuesday he is increasing the number of officers on the front lines by 25 percent. But that move will mean some changes on the force.
Baton Rouge's newest officers, 33 men and women, joined the ranks of the city police department at the end of last year. As cadets they learned how to gauge speed, direct traffic, properly use firearms, drive on the job and even brushed up on DWI laws.
But Lt. Don Kelly said the learning is not necessarily over.
"When the academy class graduates you get 30 new officers but they are very inexperienced officers, and at the same time those experienced veteran officers that have been wanting to transfer into specialty divisions are lost," Kelly explained.
Chief White plans to change that. The officers are now in the Field Training Officers, or FTO program. They will join the uniformed patrol division after they finish the course. But this time around, the officers who usually move into a specialty division will stay put.
"The demand for services has gone up and our staffing really hasn't increased over the years. He (the chief) feels like if we can increase the staffing and get sufficient officers out there that will give them time to respond to calls, to be more proactive and use community policing," Kelly said.
An additional 60 officers will join the current patrol team on the streets. The chief called those men and women "the public's first line of defense."
Lt. Kelly said the chief also plans to make some other moves within the department to keep patrol at a solid 60 through the end of the year.
The chief said he plans to put the same plan in motion when the next crew of cadets comes through.
Basic training starts in February.
The department says they expect a class of between 25 to 30 people.

Majer Piazzale Roma is one of many outlets found in Italy. With only 9 Euros you can purchase 2 slices of pizza. An excellent stop for tourists wishing to re-fuel while continuing their venture through the streets of Venice. Within a short walk from the hotel, Majer is the perfect way to sample local cuisine on-the-go.
A lovely spot to eat with friends and family, with home style cooking and a family-oriented atmosphere, Trattoria da Ivano (translations: Ivanís Restaurant) is a wonderful rustic establishment. Providing tourists with excellent value for money, the restaurant offers eclectic cultural meals at affordable prices. We recommend you reserve a table, as Saturday nights especially can get quite busy.
Pizza at any hour, just a five minute walk from where we are staying! Enjoy any kind of exquisite Italian pizza. Pizzeria Mangia e Fuggi (Translation: Pizzeria Eat & Go!) serves delicious pizza, delectable appetizers. A perfect choice if youíre on the run! Prices range from around 10 to 20 Euros.
As you walk towards the Rio Dei Tolentini canal, you'll find yourself outside of an Italian gem: Suzie Cafe. Almost hidden, this petite cafe is a great place to rest during your busy, fun-filled day. Some have called it, 'Venice's little treasure". Suzie Cafe is perfect for those whom have had a long day walking. It's a great rest stop when you feel like a light supper, some dessert, or a glass of beautiful Italian wine. Their cocktails have also said to be a customer favourite. Bar Suzie is a quaint little spot because of its charming wait service and somewhat quiet and secluded location.
Right on the corner of Corte Maggiore and Fondamenta Barbarigo, lies a typical Italian eatery away from tourist traffic. Enjoy their daily ëcatch of the dayí and quality linguine and lasagna. Hostaria provides you with a hearty Italian dinner, fit for hungry tourist groups such as yourselves. While more pricey, it is a great place to eat out on your last night in Venice, or when eating with a group.
In a street filled with numerous other Italian eateries and restaurant, lies Gelato Fantasy. An extremely popular Gelato bar, in which tourists flock to. Gelato Fantasy is a must, when visiting Venice, with every flavor imaginable. Quality, home-made, non-artificial gelato you must try, and brag about trying, to your family and friends. You can try three very large scoops of quality ice cream at an affordable price. Crepes are also available if you are after something more savoury. While it is a 27 minute walk away from our hotel, it's a great place to venture out to when searching for the most perfect and picturesque painting landscapes and environments.
Along the Rio Terra Canal you will discover L'Incontro (translation: The Meeting Place), a restaurant filled with class and a high standard of cuisine. Although Venetian cooking is not found here – it is a great place to try a Sardinian menu (if you aren't planning to travel to the island of Sardinia!). Restaurant mains include pork and rabbit dishes. Satisfy your meat cravings by candlelight and and a silverware laid table. L'Incontro provides real, authentic, mouth-watering Italian food.
Cafe Rosso is a historically classic Venetian Cafe. It dates back to the late nineteenth century. When visiting, you must observe the old-style coffee machine. The local love it, and so will you. Allow yourself a sweet treat with their freshly baked pastries and sandwiches. Their croissants melt in your mouth, and their bruschetta is delectable.

text: The folks at Heffers in Cambridge certainly know how to throw a party, and they did it again on the evening of Thursday 6 July. This was the summer Whats your Poison? event, which brings together a number of authors to read from and talk about their work, and sign books for those who buy them. I've been fortunate enough to be invited to this event several times, and have always found it enormous fun and hugely rewarding. This year, each of the fourteen authors present was asked to read, and I must blow a collective trumpet for all of us. In the interests of time, we were limited to three minutes each, to introduce ourselves and read. It was quite a challenge, but every one of the fourteen of us kept to the allotted time! Catherine, filling in for Kate, who couldn't be with us this time, didn't have to blow her whistle once – and believe me, she had a loud whistle ready and was perfectly prepared to use it! I don't recall any similar occasion on which speakers have been so disciplined, and indeed I do recall various occasions during my legal career, when lawyers were utterly unable to keep to their allotted times! So I think we did well. Both before and after the readings, those present were able to talk to the authors and buy books, while enjoying a glass or two of wine. Judging from the reaction of the goodly crowd that attended, they thoroughly enjoyed the evening, as did the authors. Congratulations to Richard, Kate and Catherine on yet another great party, and thank you for inviting me!

Nominations roll in for CommsMEA Awards
Companies from across the telecom sector invited to enter CommsMEA awards as deadline for nominations is extended to November 19th
With just over a month to go until this year's CommsMEA Awards, companies from all parts of the region's telecoms ecosystem have been busy submitting nominations in the hope of impressing the judges.
Given the popularity of this year's event - and in recognition of the fact that there are still a few key players yet to submit a nomination following the busy Gitex period - we have decided to extend the deadline for submissions until November19th, giving any companies that have not yet entered another two weeks to participate.
This year there are 16 categories of award, giving all types of organisation, from operators, vendors and regulators to content and application providers, a chance to impress the judges and gain recognition for excellence in front of a 300-strong gathering at the Awards gala dinner in Dubai in December.
This year, we have added two categories to recognise the contribution made by vendors, and also an award for regulators. There are also plenty of opportunities for content and application providers to enter the awards.
The categories are as follows:
- Customer Service Provider of the Year
- Telecoms Deal of the Year
- Fixed Line Operator of the Year
- ISP of the Year
- Lifetime Achievement Award
- New Entrant of the Year
- New Telecoms Service of the Year
- Overall Operator of the Year
- Middle East Mobile Operator of the Year
- African Mobile Operator of the Year
- Most Innovative Non-Voice Service
- Telecoms Technology Investment of the Year
- Middle East vendor of the year
- African vendor of the year
- Regulator initiative of the year
To submit a nomination for the awards, simply visit our dedicated website and download the nomination form. All instructions and criteria are listed on the website, and nominations can be submitted by email.
Also remember that smaller operators and solutions providers have as much chance of winning an award as the region's leading operators. The reason is simple: Each nomination is judged on merit, and smaller operators and start-ups are just as likely to have demonstrated excellence in their field as the region's heavyweights.
Once we have collated all of the entries, each application will be assessed and judged by a panel of international industry experts and consultants. A shortlist of nominations will be selected and award winners will be announced and presented at the ceremony in December, among 350 plus people representing the cream of the region's telecoms sector.
If you have any queries about how to enter a nomination, please don't hesitate to send me an email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, or give me a call on 00971 4 210 8419.

Former President John Dramani Mahama
Former President John Dramani Mahama says the 2020 elections will be a make-or-break one for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to him, there have been numerous calls from Ghanaians across the nation for the NDC to return to save them from the hardship under the current government.
He said that makes it imperative for the party to put its house in order for victory next year.
The former president charged delegates, therefore, not to try any flagbearer aspirant but to go in for an experienced person come January 26, 2019, when the party goes to the polls.
He was addressing delegates in the Shama Constituency on Wednesday when he made this known.
The immediate past president said Ghanaians listened to the cry of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to try him in 2016 and the consequences have been devastating for all.
Addressing the NDC supporters in Fante, Mr. Mahama stated that there cannot be any other result after the 2020 elections than an NDC win.
He admitted that results of the 2016 election appear to be God-sent for Ghanaians to see the incompetence of the Nana Akufo-Addo-led government.
He said so far nothing significant has been done by the government.
Mr. Mahama promised to be a unifier after the NDC presidential primary and said he will give responsibilities in his campaign to all the losers should he win.
For him, the opponents of the NDC will be the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and not NDC.
"I will give them responsibilities in the campaign so that they can participate."

Hello Fellow Airstreamers!
Yea, yea, I know I've been delinquent with my posts! Work, trailer mods and another job have kept me quite busy. I hope everyone is planning to go to the Region 10 Rally in Kalispell, Mt.. You can find event information by clicking Here. This looks to be a lot of fun. I've updated the Activities Page with current information.
On a sad note, we would like to extend our condolences to Bea Gibson, longtime member, whose husband, Joe, past away recently. He will truly be missed.
There has been a change of venue for the HAB Rally in September. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the Rally will now be held at the Hansen Family Campground (39180 US Highway 2) 10 miles east of Havre. This is a family run campground. We have booked the entire campground, so there will be room for all. We will keep you posted with more details.
That's All For Now!
Keep 'Streamin'

Genderstanding Leadership: Power to the Pew! questions the gender gap between Christian ideology and practice. It challenges women to move beyond the Pew to retrieve and preserve the dignity of women and the security of women and children that are Divinely intended. The book makes a troubling link between religion and gender-based violence, warns that the way in which women allow themselves to be treated in the Church (based on stubborn misinterpretations of sacred texts) has a direct outcome on the plight of women in the world. The author spurs Christian women to spirit-filled, strategic action for greater and more purposeful gender equality in religious institutions.

Talking with parents about issues involving their health and finances, their feelings about remaining independence, or their thoughts about their final wishes, can be every bit as difficult as that talk you had years ago about the birds and the bees.
Family conversations on such topics make all generations uncomfortable. Yet, they need to occur and often the sooner they do the better. In fact, these talks should take place when things are going well, before there is a crisis and decisions need to be made hastily. Adult children need to listen uncritically and treat their parents with the respect and dignity they deserve.
A recent study found that most elderly parents actually feel better about having these kinds of discussions as part of their planning for the future. Such discussions, they say, help them live life the way they wish.
Here are suggestions on ways for children to handle such conversations:
• Approach the subject indirectly. For example, "I know you're taking lots of pills. How do you keep track of them? Would a pill organizer from the drug store help you?"
• Be direct, but non-confrontational. "You know, Mom, I'm worried that you seem to be unsteady on your feet. I'm wondering how we can help protect you from falls."
• Watch for openings. "Dad, you mentioned having problems with your eyesight. Have you seen the eye doctor lately? Does it seem to affect your driving?"
• Share your feelings. "You've always been so independent, Mom. I imagine it's hard to ask for help. You know you can always ask us for help if you need to, or we can find someone who can."
Here are some other recommendations for children of elderly parents to consider:
• Make a list for your parents with questions or concerns they can prepare prior to the conversation.
• Expect some resistance. Above all:
- Respect your parents' feelings if they make it clear they want to avoid the subject. Try again at a later time.
- Push the issue if health or safety is at risk, while recognizing your parents' right to be in charge of their lives.
- Act firmly, but with compassion. For example, "Dad, we need to deal with this now."
- Hold a family meeting where everyone discusses concerns and together develops a mutually agreeable plan - giving your parents a sense of involvement and control over their lives.
- Involve other people your parents respect. This may include a member of the clergy, an attorney, or a close family friend.
- Look for community resources that can help a parent remain independent, including home care, meal delivery or transportation. For example, most people refer to remain in their current home and today there are options that bridge the spectrum from living totally independently to being in long-term care. Many elderly people, even those with early-stage Alzheimer's, manage to live within the comfort and familiarity of their homes because of the various community services that now exist. Many, for example, prefer live-in care, with a trusted caregiver, over being moved to a nursing home. Senior only independent housing, Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC's) and assisted living all offer housing options.
• Focus on key points and ask your parents for their own thoughts regarding their current needs and concerns and their worries about the future - rather than guessing, which can lead to bad mistakes and hard feelings. Ask about the location of such important documents as insurance policies, wills, health care proxies, living wills, trust documents, tax returns, and investment and banking records.
• Keep it positive and treat them as equals. Even if they make what you consider an unsafe choice, it doesn't necessary mean they are no longer capable of living independently.
• Expect that the discussion will be ongoing rather than a "one shot" deal. Each time the topic is revisited, it should become more comfortable.
• Step back and evaluate. This might include suggesting that your parents talk with a third party - an estate planner, financial expert or attorney - if you think they could use some expert advice.
Physicians and geriatric social workers warn that there are a number of danger signs that indicate that an elderly person needs extra help or an immediate change in their living arrangement. As a result, note any marked change in personality or behavior. However, no major lifestyle changes should be made without discussions with the elderly loved one, other family members, and health professionals.
Once the ice is broken, it will become easier for parent and child to hold discussions. Initiating that talk is often the most difficult part. Don't put it off any longer.

text: So, I had a very interesting week. I gave my girlfriend a really cool Christmas gift, a magnetic pen necklace, which she loves, and I wrote her a little poem because I have a tough time expressing my feelings verbally. Anyway, now we get to the juicy stuff. On Tuesday, her last day before leaving for Christmas break (damn, I want 3 extra days of break too!) things were getting a little steamy after school, and we pretty much started making out. One of my classmates, who happened to be standing a few feet away, took out his phone and snapped a picture. We would have kept going but a teacher got wind of what was going on, and told us to stop. Well, by the next day things got really interesting. The moment I came into school my teacher called me in to have a chat. He asked me if it was true that I made out with that girl. I said yes. He told me that if I'm going to make out on school property, I should hide behind the bushes (I kid you not, he seriously said that). One of t he disadvantages of being in a small school is that gossip spreads very fast, and by the end of the day, I had people calling out to me yelling "Yeah man! You're a pimp!". I have no idea why they were calling me a pimp, since I don't manage prostitutes, but whatever. Well, not only did the entire student body find out, but every living soul in the school knew what had happened. It was quite awkward to say the least. Fortunately it couldn't have happened at a better time, and most people will probably forget over the break...or will they? So, a lesson for all you youngens; don't make out on school grounds, you will regret it. But it's much better than cyber sex!

Mint Green Bridesmaid Dresses & Gowns224 items
Why They Chose Mint Green For Their Wedding
A modern classic color, Mint Green has been a favorite for fashion designers for years. A pale tint of green with a cool under tone, Mint Green is inspired by the effortless cool of mint leaves. Fitting for any style, Mint Green is a go-to choice for brides and grooms who want to create a welcoming and chic atmosphere.
Whenever I think of Mint Green, I think of mint chocolate chip ice cream, which is my absolute favorite. My husband knows how obsessed I am and it's out tradition to go out once a week for ice cream. Of course, I wanted my bridesmaids to look absolutely delicious, so I thought of Mint Green dresses right away. The girls loved the color too!
- Cassandra
Mint Green is kind of an inside joke between my husband and I. After our first date, he invited me up because he said that he had some really great earl grey tea, but when we actually got there, he realized that he had finished it. So we ended up having mint tea and talking for hours. Mint Green bridesmaid dresses is kind of nod to our first date.
- Tina
My favorite color combination is Mint Green and rose gold. I just adore that color combination and knew that I wanted it to be my main wedding palette right from the start. I just feel that Mint Green is such a flattering color as well, which is really important because all my bridesmaids had very different looks. In the end, they all wore these strapless and flowing Mint Green dresses with gold hair accessories.
- Celeste
My husband proposed to me with the most gorgeous princess cut diamond ring. Not only was the ring the ring of my dreams, but the box was so gorgeous too. It was a vintage-velvet Mint Green box. I just loved it. It definitely inspired me to look into Mint Green bridesmaid dresses for the girls, which worked out great because we found so many great styles on Azazie.

An Alternative To Unbundled Pricing – Service Reduction
Are there cases where a business can simply eliminate a service component instead of unbundling it and charging separately for it? There is a very nice Italian restaurant called Trattoria La Siciliana in Berkeley, CA. Their offering is premium – authentic sicilian cuisine, great wines and great service. This is also a small place and … Continue reading

This is part of a regular series that will chronicle Cameron Morfit's attempt to erase his handicap. If you have questions or comments for Cameron, send them to [email protected].
You can swing a golf club any way you want. As Bob Torrance, teacher to Padraig Harrington, among others, likes to say, it's about the "strike." But one thing you'd better have is a good excuse. As long as you can fault an ill-chosen breakfast, lifeless range balls or your playing partner's obnoxious headcovers, your ineptitude can at least share the blame.
But for the next six months I have no excuse. I have a trainer at the gym, an entire array of new equipment from driver to irons to putter to travel bag, a Golf Magazine Top 100 teacher at the ready, and if all goes to plan, I'll have time. I'll probably get a mental coach, too, the poor guy.
The idea is simple: Give an occasionally brilliant, mostly erratic 38-year-old, 6-handicap every advantage of a pampered Tour pro; wait six months; see if he improves or not. If so, by how many strokes? What exactly were the breakthroughs? If there's little or no improvement, why not? What are the limits of great technology and brilliant teaching?
As journalism subjects go, it's not combat duty. It's more like being asked to set up a catered, poolside bureau at the Playboy mansion, and don't reach for your wallet; put it on the corporate AmEx. I'm suddenly like a hybrid of Tiger Woods and Dennis Kozlowski. It's my job.
For a long time I've protested when others, mostly men, have said I have their dream gig. "If only you knew," I've said, sometimes only to myself. If only they knew about the nightmarish air travel, sterile hotel rooms and cookie-cutter Tour pros. But now I think I'll just shut up.
This is too good.
This is more absurd than my most absurd assignments, from the snowmobile hill-climb competition to the profile of a mass murderer who made and sold paintings on giant saw blades, which, in hindsight, perhaps should have been a red flag.
Last week was so action-packed that I hardly know where to start, so I'll begin with the roof of my local gym catching fire. I was with my new trainer, working out some of the "adhesions" in my calf muscles, when we were ordered to evacuate the building. Faulty electrical wiring had started the blaze, and three or four fire trucks converged in the parking lot.
As an excuse to not exercise this was pretty good, but I doubt this kind of thing happens to the top pros, which is why I'll just have to build a state-of-the-art gym at my house, like Vijay Singh. I'll be expensing it.
The fire was just as well, because I had a plane to catch to Carlsbad, Calif., for an appointment at the Aviara Golf Academywith GOLF Magazine Top 100 teacher Kip Puterbaughthat afternoon.
Carlsbad, a suburb of Legoland, is about a half hour north of San Diego, and it's pretty much the center of the golf universe if you're into equipment. There's also an abundance of great courses and instructors. Puterbaugh informed me that it would be easier for him to take a 30 handicap to a 6 than a 6 to a scratch, but I was encouraged when he diagnosed two major ills before I even took the club back: grip and posture.
My left hand was way too weak, and my posture was too close to the ball and too hunched over to allow my hips to fire. It all added up to an overly handsy pass at the ball that depended on timing and too often led to the dreaded both-ways, slices and hooks that on my worst days left me afraid to swing. Playing with two other golf writers on a 100-degree day in Tulsa on the Sunday of the PGA Championship, my long game had gotten so wild that I'd morphed into one of those poor saps who hit only irons off the tee.
"I've never seen someone with your fundamentals get to scratch," Puterbaugh said. He looks a little like Andy North.
"Now you could be the first," he continued, "but …"
But probably not. It had been over six years since anyone had looked at my swing, and then the instructor was so over his job he was hovering. He was about to leave golf altogether, and if he looked at my grip he didn't say anything.
With a stronger left hand I'll be better positioned to get onto my left side, with an attacking angle on the ball that virtually all of the best players have at impact. Puterbaugh mentioned tennis, not to suggest I take up the sport but to get me to grip the club properly, as if I were hitting a backhand shot with my left hand, part Jim Furyk, part Jimmy Connors.
Woods has always surrounded himself with the best instruction. I have not, until now. This could be the start of something big.
The next morning I met Callaway Golf publicist Scott Walsh at the Callaway Performance Center, which has a pimped-out, open-air driving range as well as indoor hitting bays with lasers, cameras and other gewgaws. The whole thing is situated at the end of the Palomar airport's main runway, so your HX Tours fly just slightly under departing G4s.
Walsh introduced me to Nick Arther, a club performance specialist at Callaway, who had me hit enough balls to develop a blister on the middle finger of my left hand, the one trying to get used to the new grip. (I know it's heartbreaking, but I'm already feeling better.)
The absurdity of this assignment cannot be overstated, and this was like Christmas day. I tried to tell myself I deserved it. I'd been using the same irons since I was 15. My driver was a door prize at a long-drive event in New Jersey six years ago. I pilfered my putter during the going-out-of-business grab-athon at Maximum Golf magazine. It's a Bruce Sizemore mallet, and no one I've ever played with has ever heard of Bruce Sizemore, hence my inferiority complex on the greens.
After I'd been fitted for X Forged irons, a 9.5-degree FT-5 driver, a 3-wood, 5-wood and utility-woods, we went to the indoor putting carpet. There lasers demonstrated my flaws in alignment (aiming too far right) and stroke (scooping the ball as opposed to keeping a firm left wrist). The solution: the Odyssey White Hot XG Marxman, which looks like a potato masher on a stick.
Today the UPS man came. He brought me everything I'd been fitted for plus gloves, hats and more. The gear sits just inside the doorway, taunting me, not only begging me to take it to the course but also asking the most fundamental question of this endeavor: What can I do with it?

Congratulations on a well-written [Morris column, March 26] about Second Amendment rights under attack. The Second Amendment is not only the greatest deterrent to foreign invasion, it is the ultimate homeland defense, and the only effective mechanism by which government corruption, treasonous and seditious acts by government powers and "authority," and government-induced conversion to socialism can be defended against.

Hornady LNL AP Primer Cam Wire Bracket
Fed up with the wimpy cam wire bracket from the factory, I designed this one. It's thicker in nearly every regard, and made with a polymer (PETG if y'all care) that is both stronger and more flexible than older polymers. It's a perfect material for a piece like this one, that needs to be stronger and more flexible than the factory plastic.
In addition, the post that hold the wire is open at the side, so you can remount the cam wire in the breakaway post without unscrewing or bending anything. reinserting the cam wire is a toolless operation that takes 5 seconds, and you're back to reloading.
Lastly, it uses the factory screw, so no new hardware!
Reviews Hide Reviews
Better then factory
After struggling with the factory part for years it finally broke. I bought one of these and it fixed all the issues I was having. I was worried the OEM screw wouldn't fit but it does.
As it should
This is, without a doubt, the absolute way the LNL should have shipped. I've had 3 factory Cam Wire Brackets crack on me (you know where) and this one is way more solid and looks and works better than the crappy metal bracket I made to try to correct the issue with the factory version.
Don't run your press without it.
Don't install the OEM bracket. Run this, never question it. Works like a charm, way more adjustment than the stock one. If you have to ask if you need one you shouldn't have bought the LnL AP.
Cam Wire Bracket
Great product, very strong and reliable. Awesome price and fast shipping!
Hornady LNL AP Primer Cam Wire Bracket
This little bracket fit and works perfect. I am glad you came up with this idea. It will save me a lot of grief when the primer rod pops out.

With the 62nd Newport to Ensenada International Yacht race beginning today, the Register's Editorial Board met with the Mexican consul and Mexican tourism officials to discuss growing safety concerns that Americans have given the ongoing and particularly brutal war that's taking place south of the border - and occasionally on this side of the border - between Mexican drug cartels and Mexican authorities. The drug-related violence has claimed more than 7,300 lives throughout Mexico since January 2007, and Mexican officials are concerned that the bad publicity will unnecessarily alarm Americans and depress tourism.
The killings have taken place across an extremely large country, and the violence has focused mostly on cartel members and government forces. The vast majority of tourists has no problems visiting Mexico, and there have been only a handful of times that tourists have been caught up in the problems. Far more tourists are killed in automobile accidents and even suicides than in drug violence. We are sad that so many small shop owners in Mexico are struggling because of the dramatic decline in the tourist business.
Nevertheless, we feel an obligation as a newspaper to report and comment on the Mexico problems and let readers make their own decisions about safety and risks.
The Mexican government has stepped up security to protect visitors, but the sight of military vehicles and armor-clad officials with submachine guns tends to dampen the Margaritaville atmosphere.
There's no doubt that the United States shares the blame for Mexico's drug problems. The gangs are fighting mainly to supply American consumers with illegal drugs. Although the number is greatly exaggerated, many guns used in the war come from America.
At the end of the day, the best service a newspaper can provide its readers is an honest assessment of news events - and there's no question that the war down south is news that must be covered.
We think the public should pay more attention to the problems while keeping in mind the limited degree to which American tourists have been caught up in the problems in Tijuana and elsewhere. We wish the Mexican government the best and hope the yacht race and other tourist events are successful. But, as with everything, an honest assessment of the situation is the best approach. Then everyone can make their own judgments about whether to visit Mexico, or any other place for that matter.

Congratulations to composer Joseph Julian Gonzalez on the success of his composition, Misa Azteca performed in Rome last week. Some of the promo shots taken on Palomar Mountain in 2013.
From the composer: Joseph Julian Gonzalez
"Here are the first and last pages of the Full Orchestral Score of Misa Azteca. I have been working on this 50 minute, 8 movement choral/symphonic work for over 23 years, re-writing movements, throwing parts out and adding parts in. This has been a very personal project that is very dear to my heart and that I've worked on in between TV and Film gigs. I am glad to announce that Misa Azteca is officially DONE.
I have to sincerely thank the immensely talented Joel Clarkson for re-orchestrating Misa Azteca over the past year. Joel started orchestrating for me in my film and TV scores about two years ago, and I recognized a young man of immense talent and the best orchestrator I had ever worked with. Joel took my film and TV compositions to another level and worked as a cool head in the stressed-out world of the industry. Joel has a spiritual depth to him that comes out in his work. I knew that I had found the right person to take Misa Azteca to another level.
Tomorrow in Rome, at the Basilica of St. Ignatius, we will present the final version of Misa Azteca. It is ready to go out into the world!" (Performed October 26, 2014)
"Introducing the wonderfully talented and lovely soprano, Dalia Rodriguez, a treasured member of Team Misa Azteca. Dalia is an ace sightreader and incredible musician; has a voice like an angel; and although she possess many gifts, is a very generous and humble person. She is featured in our updated Misa Azteca Promo Video:"

Well Above Par PR Results From Holyrood for US Kids Golf
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
on behalf of U.S. Kids Golf European Championship
The Liverpool Daily Post and Chester Evening Leader are the latest papers to be giving prominent coverage to the US Kids Golf European Championship taking the amount of people who have read about the event to well over 10million across the globe – with more to come.
And it's given the Holyrood Partnership Edinburgh PR team a chance to indulge in golfing puns as they've been tee-ing up press releases, updated results and human interest stories to TV, web and print outlets across the globe, making sure that each home territory has stories relating to their area.
It seems to have paid off with a huge level of interest – but it does mean mums (and moms) and dad are going to have to fork out for more scrapbooks for all the coverage of their litte Tiger and Tigerette Woods.

I just received an email from a contractor in Austria who described a legal problem that many contractors face. Apparently, demolition crews are sued regularly by homeowners for damage to nearby homes. After a blast that causes vibration in a house, homeowners search their house and discover big cracks. They then blame the cracks on the nearby blasts and the vibrations they cause. According to the contractor, these newly discovered cracks likely were there all along; most houses develop cracks as they age and settle. The key is that people didn't notice the cracks until they started looking for them.
In some ways, this phenomenon is the opposite of change blindness (the failure to notice large changes that we discuss in Chapter 2 of the book)—in essence, people are blind to the lack of change. They see change where none actually existed because they assume they would have noticed a big crack had it been there all along. If the crack is distinctive after they know to look for it, they assume that they would have noticed it even if they weren't looking for it. But the cracks don't draw attention automatically, and you won't spot them until you search for them. Once you do look for cracks, you likely will see them everywhere. The same principle explains why, after being dumped by your girlfriend or boyfriend, every song on the radio is about relationships. It's unlikely that radio stations are attuned to your romantic status—they were playing a similar rotation of songs before and after your breakup, but you're now focusing attention on relationships, so you notice.
The problem is that we intuitively believe that distinctive objects, events, and features—like a crack in the wall—automatically draw attention, when in reality, it takes effort to find them. Once we know about them, they're obvious. Before we know about them, they're invisible. Our intuitions about how attention and the mind work lead us to the wrong conclusion: I couldn't have missed something so obvious, so it must be new. In the case of vibration, homeowners mistakenly attribute the newly detected cracks to the most obvious, recent, external event (vibration from a blast). Mistaken intuitions about attention and perception prevent the homeowners from spotting the real reason they hadn't noticed cracks before: we often don't see what we're not looking for.

People who are unemployed will often have difficulty paying their bills. Due to this, they may need some assistance every now and then. Thankfully these people can get a payday advance for unemployed.
What is a Payday Advance?
A payday advance is essentially a small loan for unexpected financial emergencies. These loans have lenient lending conditions and can be paid out within a few hours. This type of lending has high fees and high interest rates.
Who Can Get a Payday Loan?
Because payday loans have very relaxed lending rules generally anybody who has a job and is over the age of 18 will be approved for a loan. That being said, not everybody would want to get a payday advance. People with good credit and a healthy income are better off approaching their bank. This is because banks can approve and pay out overdrafts within a short amount of time. The overdraft product also has a much lower interest rate than payday loans.
The people who traditionally apply for payday advance for the unemployed are those who need cash in a hurry or cannot meet regular lending conditions. As payday lenders do not conduct credit checks, they are taking on a considerable risk every time they take on a client. This is especially true if the borrower is unemployed. Lenders try to reduce this risk by recovering as much money as possible in interest and set-up fees.
Can Unemployed People Get a Payday Loan?
Unemployed people who are looking for a loan should be aware getting approved will not be easy. Even payday lenders are reluctant to take on clients who have no money coming in to pay the loan back. In fact, many payday lenders will refuse to lend money to the unemployed.
There are some lenders that will lend to the unemployed. However, these are few and far between. Applicants will generally have to spend quite a lot of time looking for a reputable lender. In some cases, the lender may be willing to go ahead with a loan if the applicant puts up some collateral. This could come in the form of a car, jewelry or household items.
Unemployed people who are having trouble finding a lender should not give up. Those who look hard enough will be able to find a company that meets their needs. It is important that applicants keep an eye out for lenders with dishonest business practices. Many loan sharks target unemployed people as they have very few options available to them. Companies that charge ridiculous interest rates or place strange conditions on the loan should be avoided. Some borrowers have reported dealing with companies that asked for the pin number to their debit cards. Anyone who is asked this information should not disclose it. This is both illegal and dangerous. People who have income coming in from government assistance or child support may be able to use this as proof of income. Every lender has different rules regarding how they deal with unemployed applicants.

There once was a tortoise who talked and he talked:
And this tortoise talked – well, quite a lot:
And here I will tell you what happened to him –
For "shut up" this creature could not.
One day as he sat by himself in a field,
An eagle flew down from the sky:
"I live in the mountains," the eagle told him,
"And to get there, I fly through the sky."
The tortoise asked: "Is it a beautiful place?"
"Oh, for certain. Why not come and see?"
"Hold this stick in your mouth, with the end held in mine,
And, come fly to the mountain with me."
"There is only one thing that you never must do:
Don't open your mouth whilst with me -
But for certain, you'll love the nice journey we'll make
And you'll like all things that we'll see."
The plan was agreed and the journey began,
And up in the air they did go –
But, over a town, from high up in the sky
What did they see down below?
Some very rude children were looking at them,
And they made a most insulting joke:
The tortoise was angry at what he had heard
And he opened his mouth and he spoke.
So what do you think that now happened to him
When from his mouth came that first sound?
He let go of the stick and went tumbling down,
Round and round till he crashed on the ground.
So that was the end of that tortoise, for sure,
For his fate was for certain quite bad.
So for those who don't heed the advice they receive,
Well, like him, their demise could be sad.

Steel Yourself for Metallic Trade War
