When I was thinking about what to write for this post, the Holy Spirit reminded me of a message from T.D. Jakes, Senior Pastor of the Potter's House, I heard a while back.
The message was about a scene that takes place right before Jesus' triumphant entrance into Jerusalem. This is Mark's account of this scene "And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him." (See Mark 11:1-4 KJV)
Jesus instructs two of His disciples to go into the village, where there is a colt tied up at a crossroads, untie it and bring it to Him. Jesus says that, if anyone questions you, tell them that the Lord needs the colt. Some of you feel tied down. You have tried everything. Nothing seems to be working. And you're wondering why God hasn't used you yet. I just want to let you know don't worry, don't stress out, don't be anxious, stop your straining, stop your pressing; God will loose you in His perfect timing and raise you up as soon as He needs you. He is keeping you tied up and stuck where no one else will burden you or use you so that when He needs you, you will have the strength to be able to carry out the task that He has called you to.
Others of you who are reading this, you are stuck at a crossroads in life. You have a tough decision to make. You are at a fork in the road and you don't know which path to travel down. God wanted me to let you know that He has you tied up and stuck for a reason. And the reason He has you tied up is that, if He were to have let you loose earlier, you would have gone down the wrong road. But God is sending someone your way in order to untie you and to lead you down the road that He has purposed for you.
So don't worry about being stuck anymore. God had you right where He wants you. He will come get you and lead you down the path everlasting.

If the auction doesn't last long, then this price will often be lower,
because fewer interested buyers will be available, perhaps only one.
If the auction lasts a significant amount of time, then this price will
be higher, because money bid on an item is "invested" with no return
until the auction is over, or at least until you are outbid. Bidding
a little more than you really want to pay drastically reduces the
number of auctions your money has to sit through before you get what
you wanted in the first place.
> These models imply that there are theoretical, as well as practical, reasons
> for fixed-price transactions to be common.
Mm? You mean, other than transaction costs? Am I missing something?

LaMichael James likely to miss entire preseason
LaMichael James is that he is expected to be ready to go by Week One after suffering a practice injury on Sunday. The bad news is that the inexperienced James won't benefit from any preseason experience.
James suffered a dislocated left elbow that will take about a month to heal, meaning he's likely out for the entire preseason, ESPN reports. The 24-year-old James has just 39 carries for 184 yards so far in his NFL career, and the 49ers would have liked to see him get more action in the preseason, especially after they already lost running back Kendall Hunter for the entire season when he suffered a torn ACL on Friday.
The 49ers suddenly find themselves thin at running back, a position where they expected to be deep. In addition to the Hunter and James injuries, 2013 fourth-round pick Marcus Lattimore is still not practicing because he's still not 100 percent recovered from the serious knee injury he suffered at South Carolina in 2012.
After starter Frank Gore, the only 49ers running backs able to practice right now are second-round pick Carlos Hyde, newly signed Alfonso Smith, and former practice-squad player Jewel Hampton.

Going on what others having been saying, and the TED talk by Katz. I truly believe that Katz was correct by saying that when people think of gender equality, they often are only thinking of promoting equal rights for women. However gender refers to both men and women, people often think women when they hear the word gender. This is the same way in which people hear sexual orientation they often think homosexuality, we don't often hear people describing heterosexuality as a sexual orientation.
I do believe that men are pivotal to promoting gender equality between men and women. In many cases pivotal in ways that women cannot be, "locker room chat" and "guy talk " are areas in women would have a harder time to confront. When a man hears degrading talk about women it must be addressed there and then, this is not as easily done however in a dominant masculine society. As Katz mentioned in their TED talk.Men must be made to feel that they must not act controlling so as they will not be controlling. This is not only controlling towards women but towards other men also. The majority of abuse against men is of course by other men, the road to gender equality is not only aiding women but men also, hence equality.
Men can make progress in a number of ways, most notably the workplace. Take parental leave, for example, the majority of men do not take it, even when offered.
"Not only do too few companies consider extending paid leave to new fathers, when they do, men rarely take advantage of the entire leave. While a 2011 study of men at large companies found that approximately 85% of new fathers take some time off after the birth of a child, the vast majority of them only took off a week or two. And a study of 2011 study of college professors found that only 12% of fathers took paid parental leave when it was offered, compared with 69% of mothers."
This not only perpetuates the idea that it should only be women who should take maternal leave but also stops other men from the possibility of spending more time with their children, even if they wanted to. They may feel that they may be "emasculated". This can also hold women back from career progression in a number of ways. Employers may feel that they would give a promotion to a man over a woman because she has the possibility of taking maternity leave and he would not. Paternal leave is just one of a number of ways on how men can help promote gender equality in the workplace.
As for the people claiming that feminists are anti-men, these quite often are not people who are trying to promote gender equality. Feminists, real feminist are trying to promote gender equality and not female superiority. These are entirely different ideas and yet are so strangely often confused. More often than not it may be a struggle for power, male patriarchs feel that some feminists are gaining power for themselves and social change and therefore will lose some of their own power. This is true, power does not dissipate but rather changes directions. In this way, it would flow towards women, not threatening men but rather make them equal. As women progress towards gender equality men are aided also as they are becoming more who they are and not what society has told them to be.

Pearl's victory in the battle for Resolution has been broadly welcomed by advisers.
Closed life insurers have been criticised from advisers over their speed and willingness to give out policy details and client information.
But Syndaxi Financial Planning managing director Robert Reid believes Pearl is more committed to treating customers fairly. He says: "Resolution is somewhat difficult to deal with but Pearl has the attitude that they need to improve service. Perhaps Resolution's service will improve as a result."
Advisers say that they had concerns over a potential deal with Friends Provident or Standard Life but Pearl represents a good match.
Richard Jacobs Pensions & Trustee Services director Richard Jacobs says: "Pearl and Resolution are a new breed of predator and suit each other admir-ably. When I first heard about Friends' bid for the firm, I stop-ped giving business to them because I did not want to see a good client-centred insurance company merging with Resolution because they have shareholder priorities at heart."

Well to be honest its nearer June by now, but May has always been one of my favourite months - well in the UK that is..... here in the Middle East its when life starts to get hot, hot and even hotter! Temperatures soaring into the mid 40's (centigrade that is!!) and so most time spent indoors with the air con switched on - as it will be for the next few months!
The title for this week's blog comes from the fact that I have been turning back time by looking through old photograph albums. I found some photos of when I was in Camelot - had such a laugh, I was sooo skinny, and some of the costumes were absolutely hideous!! Think cones on heads with chiffon attached to the back or pointy boots a la Blackadder the First!! Thank goodness they are not digital!!
I have also started to listen to 'Fifty Shades of Grey' - lots of hype about this book and it's foray into the world of S&M. However the first 3 hours were VERY tame and I was fine with audio - until this morning when on the bike at the gym and it started to steam up - JUST could not bear to listen and had to switch off and then download to the Kindle instead to hide my embarrassment! A 49 year old on the bike at the gym is not a pretty sight anyway, let alone a 49 year old on the bike listening to someone narrate kinky sex........hahahahaha!
Well as for the knitting - have been doing ok on that front aside from one mess up which I will reveal later!
Firstly I finished my Tidal which I really enjoyed knitting - although I had to do lots of skein changing to make sure I did not have too much pooling. It seemed like the finishing took just as long as the knitting - but its a lovely pattern.
I must take a photo of me wearing it as the photo does not really do it justice and its much brighter in 'real life'.
The next FO was the Knitted Postcard which I did as part of the UAE Amiras swap. I always knew that I wanted to do something with knitted flowers since I really love the Knitted Flowers book I have and knew I wanted to do something out of that. I was pleased with it, although took a lot longer than I thought it would - there is no getting away with a few flowers.....you have to knits loads!! Anyway I passed over to my swap partner last week and she liked it so hurrah for flowers!
Then the last knitting news is that I have cast on the Cedar Leaf Shawlette and boy oh boy have I made a right royal mess of it! Due to not reading the pattern and just complete knitting incompetence! Frogged twice already and now I realise I have been doing the short row shaping with the wrong number of stitches.......DOH!! but I am half way through now so I think I will just fudge along with the leaves. Its not as if its not clear on the pattern - Alana writes such fab patterns - I just did not concentrate on reading. I blame The Killing which I am addicted to, which requires me to multi-task, ie watch, read and knit!!
Finally a quick update on my health situation - new surgeon wanted a biopsy which has been a bit of a pain since firstly there was some problem with the insurance, and then when I finally went along for the procedure, the Radiologist decided that she cannot get to the right parts so I have to have another more complicated procedure, which apparently sounds as if I have to spend 2 hours in a mammogram machine whilst being skewered with needles - going back to the Camelot/Blackadder theme it sounds like it would fit very well into a Medieval torture chamber (hmm a bit like Fifty Shades of Grey too!!)
I would like to dedicate the song below to my body - who has treated me a bit like a cheating lover over the last few years......
Speak soon

Rain or shine this weekend, celebrities and pros will join forces to play in one of the long-standing golfing traditions in Pebble Beach, now known as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Although less than forecasted, housing inventory rose slightly ahead of the AT&T tourney. Carmel roared ahead to retain the weekly crown, led by a flurry of new sales (8) – the most in '17. As always, a few highlights from the week below:
Sales slowed in Pebble this week, dipping below seasonal averages with just 2 closed escrows and 2 new sales – tight inventory levels being a large contributor. The top closed escrow came from the Country Club East area – a partially remodeled ranch-style home on an artery near MPCC that closed at the list price of $1.375M. The other closed escrow was a condo in the Upper Forrest that sold just 1% off of the list price of $658K. The top new sale came from an enclave (Macomber Estates) in the Southern part of Central Pebble – a Mediterranean-style home built in '00 with ocean views and an ask of $6.995M. The other new sale also came from the Central Pebble area – a partially updated Townhouse just above the Lodge with filtered ocean/golf views, that's listed at $3.495M.
Carmel's market extended its February hot streak with 4 closed escrows and 8 new sales this week (highest in '17). The top closed escrow came from the NE area of Carmel – a traditional-style home built in '88 that closed at $1.35M (7% off of List Price). The other closed escrows included a duplex in downtown Carmel that sold at the list price of $1.35M; a 70's Contemporary-style home in the outskirts of NW Carmel that closed 8% over the list price of $1.15M and a teardown in the heart of the Golden Rectangle that closed 4% over the list price of $1.15M (essentially dirt value). The biggest storyline from this week comes from the frontlines on Scenic Rd – a stunning Contemporary-style home with unobstructed ocean views, listed at $8.995M. Great to see activity pick-up at the top of Carmel's market. The other new sales include an updated, oversized cottage (2,700+ sqft) in SE Carmel with an ask of $2.85M; another oversized cottage with similar finishes, offered at $2.395M; a major fixer on an oversized lot, just South of Ocean Ave on Casanova with an ask of $2.3M; another major fixer a couple doors down on Casanova, offered at $1.995M; a couple of small cottage fixers (1,200 and 1,300 sqft respectively) in the heart of the Golden Rectangle with asks of $1.689M and $1.595M and a major fixer in SE Carmel that's listed at $1.34M.
For the second week in a row, the Highlands had activity to report with one new sale in the Carmel Meadows area – a 1960's Contemporary-ranch style home, just off of Highway 1 on Ribera Rd that went into escrow this week with an ask of $1.25M.
No news to report in the Quail area this week.

The smash hit GHOST the Musical, based on the Academy Award winning film "Ghost", opened November 5 at the Fox Theatre. The opening night served as a fundraiser event for the Georgia Breast Cancer Coalition Foundation. With each ticket purchased, $10 was donated to the local charity organization, whose mission is to educate about the disease and advocate for research funding."Ditto! Ghost The Musical is a beautiful story of love and loss with spectacular visual effects that will keep you at the edge of your seat".Liza Cardona
Ghost The Musical is directed by Tony Award-winner Matthew Warchus and created by a team of Grammy and Academy Award-winners, including an original score by Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard. Ghost The Musical features a book by Bruce Joel Rubin, who has adapted his Academy Award-winning original screenplay for the stage. This brand new score also includes the iconic song "Unchained Melody," famously performed in the film by The Righteous Brothers.
Set in modern day New York City, Ghost The Musical is a timeless fantasy about the power of love. Walking back to their apartment one night after a romantic dinner, Sam and Molly are mugged, leaving Sam dead on a dark street. Sam is trapped as a ghost between this world and the next and unable to leave Molly, who he learns is in grave danger. With the help of a phony storefront psychic, Sam tries to communicate with Molly in the hopes of saving and protecting her.
Ghost the Musical is full of cool holograms, illusions and cool tricks that gives you the feeling that you are watching a three-dimensional movie. Oda Mae, the "unhappy medium" clearly steals the show with the best number, songs, and hilarious acting. I was not particularly impressed with the singing and dance of this musical and I felt like the love story between Sam and Molly was lost in the theater adaptation. The sentiment you get from watching Molly grieve Sam in the movie is lost, and the musical fails miserably in being able to translate that "devastation" on stage.
There are others aspects of this musical that were more inventive and successful like when Sam takes over the body of Oda Mae, so he can interact with Molly. I also enjoyed the live orchestra and all the technology behind the production, including the 150 moving lights used to track Sam and Molly during the performance. The acting, overall was pretty good, and I did enjoy watching all the scenes about Sam learning to control his powers while he was in "limbo". The scene where he fights another ghost in a subway train kept the audience at the edge of their seats. GHOST the Musical has been seen by over 500,000 people and has been nominated for five Olivier Awards and three Tony Awards so make sure you go and see it before it's too late.
Ghost The Musical will play November 5-10 at The Fox Theatre as part of the Fifth Third Bank Broadway In Atlanta 2013-2014 season. The performance schedule is:
Tuesday-Thursday, Nov. 5-7 7:30 p.m.
Friday, Nov. 8 8:00 p.m.
Saturday. Nov. 9 2:00 p.m., 8:00 p.m.
Sunday, Nov. 10 1:00 p.m., 6:30 p.m.

Around 2 weeks later I broke it off cause we couldn't fix any of the issues we had and I felt like I was the only one trying!
Between then and now I found out he'd lied about a lot of different things and he asked for me back not long ago. I said we could chat after a certain event he was attending (it caused us the most issues), he agreed and then I found out just a few days later he went on a date with another woman.
Also that he'd messaged back another woman who he was just sleeping with before me saying I'm the reason he hadn't replied as I didn't like him talking to people (she messaged him through our relationship and he didn't reply cause he was getting sex from me! Told me he was just using her for sex when we first got together and broke it off cause he had me now). He then didn't tell her the main reason we'd broken up as that'd look bad on him!
Anyway I messaged him saying i knew about the date and he got very aggressive and defensive. At a later date he went to his friends wedding which I hadn't been invited too when we were together and he made out with the grooms sister... then sexted her after to try and get her to sleep with him!
It didn't work... He doesn't know I know that part.
We left it on pretty bad terms as I caught him out with going on a date even after asking for me back so it's more on him. But how do I act if I see him? Just normal or really friendly or indifferent?
Most Helpful Guy
Sheesh!!! After reading all the crap he did to you, HE should be the one that's nervous!
You've got the right idea - act normal and indifferent toward him. If he says anything, be polite and courteous but don't let the conversation go anywhere. Don't allow him to try to get back into your life (coffee, drinks, lunch, etc...) Sounds like you've dealt with enough drama from him to last a lifetime!
Well he was nervous when my parents and sister had to go in! Apparently he was shaking!
It's ok he wasn't there, I was so nervous! My heart was racing, I think he had a day off. When I go in for my appointment my mum and sister will be with me so that won't be as bad :)
That's true, but you don't need to be nervous about anything. Relax. You'll be fine.
Thank you! I know it sounds silly, I think it's just cause I haven't seen him since we broke up and got off of our holiday. It was just a weird ending!
Also I don't know what he's been telling other people in his workplace but i know that he's twisted the story to a few people in his favour which makes me very wary.
Think I'm just more concerned about how he will react as he knows I know his true colours and after a lot of hurt I actually realised he had the traits of a Sociopath and my sister who studied a degree in Sociology agreed with me which is pretty scary.
Most Helpful Girl
Do you really have to go there, can't you book your appointment at some other place?
If you see him, just ignore him. If he tries to talk to you, just say that you don't have the time and walk away.
Or even just call the place up in order to book your appointment, lol. Unless you're actually hoping to see him there.
It's a bit of a trek to go somewhere else as it's only up the road from me or I have to go an hour away and I don't drive...
Ok I shall do that! Thank you!
Well it's just that I have to go in there anyways to actually have the appointment... no I don't want too! But ill have to at some point! We work in the same town just down the road from each other, surprised I haven't seen him yet!

I recently received an post from a new member who joined to support her friend who is married to someone with ASD. Here is what she said, "Thank you for your welcome. I was happy to find this group as I was very much helped by your book, which I've passed on to my friends. They found it tremendously helpful. I am glad to find any discussion on these issues as those outside the situation find it pretty nigh impossible to understand the pain involved. I'm not married to an AS but my friend is."
The support group is not limited to those with family/partners of ASD, but also those who are friends to Neuro-typicals with Asperger partners. Many times the NT's feels like no one understands the pain that they are experiencing. This new member set a wonderful example of a supportive friend. I encourage anyone else in this situation to please join our support group meetings or Meetup page if you live outside of the Portland/Vancouver area.
My book Life with a Partner or Spouse with Asperger Syndrome: Going Over the Edge is available for purchase on my website or feel free to download the first chapter for free. This is also an excellent resource for friends to read to gain a greater appreciation for what their friends may be experiencing. Thank you to all of you who are taking the lead to help spread the word about Asperger Syndrome.

Arcane powers from beneath the rocks have come to gather the children of
Dream and Gaia. An ancient land stirs to those who listen beneath the southern stars.
Two Butterflies in the heart of a storm

Delirium and Dream struggle together
Against encroaching darkness
Voices of a once mythical Gondwana Land rise in vengence.
Faces of crimes against the tribes of people slip through the veil.
Fingers of the dreamtime touch the slumber of mortals.
All those who have gathered must remember nunquam terra nullis.

An anonymous letter that suggested an autistic teen should be "euthanized" among other things does not meet the threshold of a hate crime, Durham regional police said Tuesday.
However, charges could still be laid as police continue their investigation.
"Despite the hateful language used, the Crown Attorney's office has advised that the content of the letter falls below the threshold for a hate crime," police said in a statement on Tuesday.
Max Begley, 13, of Oshawa is autistic. He spends his summer days at his grandmother's Newcastle home while his mother works. The letter by an anonymous mother, which suggested his organs should be donated to "unretarded" children, was dropped off at her home on Friday.
Despite the tone of the letter, Max and his family have found support online – and from all over the world. Colleen Plunkett, a New York woman, has created a Facebook group for Max's grandmother, Brenda Millson, and the boy's mother, Karla.
The group "We Support the Grandma who got mean letter from "neighbor"" has more than 550 members just hours after it was created Tuesday.
The story has touched a chord with parents across the world, with hundreds of thousands of people viewing the original story and writing in to CityNews to show their support to the family.
"What kind of heartless person says something like that? Maybe someone should call the writer's parenting into question," Bluerose33 wrote on CityNews.ca.
"I am also the mother of a son with autism, and cannot fathom anyone being so simple minded, hateful, and cruel as to say the things in that letter."
Another woman, Amy Miller, wrote that people who support Max and his family should ignore the person who wrote the letter.
Do not confront this letter writer or otherwise park our children on her front yard (as tempting as this may be) because she deserves no recognition. Instead let us continue to support Max and his family. Let us take a page from their family and friends and celebrate our beloveds joyfully and publicly. It was truly inspiring and certainly more worthy of our attention than some hate-filled letter and its writer.
Do not wish this woman had children/grandchildren with autism. Let us be grateful that she does NOT. She could neither love nor understand them and she is unworthy of such an honour.
Do not (and this is most important) be angry with her "frightened" children. They are afraid because their mother feeds their fears and ignorance. Instead, let us educate them with the same generosity of spirit and kindness we wish others would show to our beloveds. And do not abuse their mother to them. It will only serve to close their ears and minds.
I'm sure some people are still in favour of the tar and feather method. However, think about what I said. That is all my daughter and I ask.

Yay! I have another Your Next Stamp Challenge today! Before I get to it though, I wanted to make sure you all saw this post on Karen's blog - a very interesting read!
This time around, our challenge was chosen by Beth and is "Nicely Negative" - stamp your image using white ink on black or other dark cardstock. Check out the Challenge Blog for lots of awesome samples and ideas on different ways to get the look!
Here's my card outside:
I used the Happy Halloween Fhiona set and a sketch from Taylored Expressions.
I stamped the skull image with Papertrey's white ink on a piece of black patterned paper, let dry thoroughly and cut it out with a rectangle Nestie. All the paper edges were distressed with the edge of my scissors and I also sponged a little white ink on them as well. The spider strip was cut from another piece of PP and the border was done with a Martha Stewart punch. I cut the BOO letters with my Cricut and covered them all with black Stickles.
Here's the inside, part 1:
I got the idea for the framed pop up from an *awesome* blog I recently came across called Extreme Cards and Papercrafts. You all really need to check it out. Seriously.
The Haunted House is from the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge and the bats are from the Doodlebat font Boo Ya. I brought the house image into Make the Cut and did all my designing there (did I mention how much I LOVE this software?!). After I cut out the pop up piece, I stamped the sentiment from the same set in white ink and used a little bit of sponge to smear it around a little. I also smeared white ink all over the rest of the piece too to look like a cloudy, misty night. The hanging bat has yellow Stickled eyes and is hanging by a bit of black sewing thread.
And finally, the inside, part 2:
I just did a zig zag stitch all the way around, distressed the edges and stamped the little spider. The final touch was to add black brads in all the corners to hide the wonky stitching there.
Other challenges:
- Charisma Cardz - Autumn Colors
- Secret Crafter - distressing
- Scrappy Saturday - Halloween
- Bitten by the Bug 2 - 3D Haunted House from Happy Hauntings cart or other haunted house
- Going Grey with Scrap Creations - Make it 3D
Also, the challenge hostess will choose her favorite card, and that winner will get the YNS Challenge "Top Pick" blinkie to proudly display on their blog PLUS $5 in YNS Stamp Bucks! You must use a YNS image to be eligible to be chosen for Top Pick.
Full details can be found at the YNS Challenge Blog. TFL!

Method claims reciting specific means or improvements to the art are patentable, while method claims directed to abstract results or effects using generic processes and machines are not
McRO, Inc. v. Bandai Namco Games America, No. 2015-1080 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 13, 2016)
The patent owner sued numerous companies alleging infringement of a patent related to automating lip synchronization and facial expression. Both the district court and the Federal Circuit considered a single method claim as representative, which included the limitation "obtaining a first set of rules." The district court found this language to be preemptive and non-patentable. The Federal Circuit reversed.
For Alice Step 1, the Federal Circuit considered two aspects: 1) the specific limitations and 2) whether the claims were "directed to" an abstract idea. The limitations in the claims were found to not be abstract because they required that the rules be rendered in a specific way as a relationship between subsequences of certain features. In considering the specific limitations, the Federal Circuit directed that "a court must look to the claims as an ordered combination, without ignoring the requirements of the individual steps." The alleged infringer's argument that the claims "do not claim specific rules" was rejected because the claims "are limited to rules with certain common characteristics, i.e., a genus." As a general matter, genus claims are patentable, but those claims "create a greater risk of preemption, thus implicating the primary concern driving 101 jurisprudence." The key point is "whether the claims focus on specific means or method that improves the relevant technology or are instead directed to a result or effect that itself is the abstract idea and merely invoke generic processes and machinery."
The claims were also not "directed to" an abstract idea. The court rejected the alleged infringers' argument that the claims use the computer as a tool to automate conventional activity. The court recognized that the rules were performed on a general purpose computer but explained that the alleged infringers "provided no evidence that the process previously used by animators is the same as the process required by the claims." "It is the incorporation of the claimed rules, not the use of the computer, that 'improved [the]existing technological process' by allowing the automation of further tasks. This is unlike Flook, Bilski, and Alice, where the claimed computer-automated process and the prior method were carried out in the same way."

Ski profile with a rocker at the tip and tail, camber in the middle. Reducing the pressure on the edge at the tip and tail makes the ski even easier to handle and increases flotation on powder snow. The camber guarantees great grip on packed snow.
Carbon Flip Core is the evolution of the revolutionary Flip Core process. 90 degree directional carbon fiber is integrated into the rockered areas of the tip and tail of the ski. The carbon fiber stabilizes these rockered areas, which results in better performance and more control. A lighter swing weight is also achieved, which delivers a feeling of complete confidence. Carbon Flip core is the evolution of freeride technology.
ABS or Phenol structure on the side of the ski that provides performance and durability. All Blizzard skis are built with sidewalls. The advantages? Stability, power transmission, improved handling, durability.

I am sat here waiting for my little man to wake up for his midnight feed, reflecting on the last 13 weeks that I've been off work, embarking on a new chapter of my life… Motherhood.
I finished work at the beginning of July and was awaiting the arrival of a baby (at this point not knowing that he was going to be a he)! Sensing my impatience, Teddy Ray Chapman came 10 days early and this is when my world changed forever (alongside my vagina!!)
No exercise session will ever compare to childbirth, however I do think my fitness background helped with the mental element of labour. My marathon/triathlon mindset got me through each contraction and each push as if it were another mile to the race.
After 10 weeks of sleepless nights, endless nappy changes and learning about a whole new love that I didn't think was possible, I am about to embark on working life as a mummy.
I have missed exercise more than I ever realised I would and naively, didn't think it would be this tough to restart. My muscles are weaker (mainly referring to my pelvic floor muscles, which I can honestly say don't think will let me ever perform a star jump again). My used-to-be toned bits are now wobbly. And my once small boobs are now swollen and decide to randomly leak as I come to an end of breastfeeding!
Time permitting, I will keep you posted with my journey back into fitness and share with you the differences I find with not only juggling the work/home life balance but with my body changes too.
And 5, 6, 7, 8…. Let's go!

Though your breasts come in pairs, they are not twins. In fact, they will always look slightly different from each other. One is bound to be smaller than the other and many a time the size and colour of the nipple differs too.
2. Nipple orgasm are real
3. Inverted nipples are no big deal
4. Sometimes you've three of them
5. The bumps around your nipples are normal
6. Nipple discharge can be a warning sign
8. Nipple piercing takes a very long time to heal

- InfoACTsuccessAsked on February 10, 2017 at 02:19 PM
Hi there! My question is can I show a video, which is stored in Google Drive, in my JotForm? If not, is there a way to store the video on youtube (or another service) so that it can only be viewed in the form.
Here is the background of the situation in case it is helpful;
Currently, we have a 4 step process for potential new clients to get on board with us.
Step 1: Call our office and speak to the owner. This call usually lasts anywhere from 30-60 minutes. If the potential client likes what they've heard and wants to proceed with using our products, they let our owner know and move to step 2.
Step 2: Our owner sends the client an email thanking them for taking the time to speak to him and letting him know that one of his staff members will be back in touch with them to provide a price list and Site ID, which is necessary to order.
Step 3: Our Fulfillment Specialist emails the new client back with the Site ID, Price list, and some general welcome information. Usually she is also verifying addresses and such in the exchange (usually a couple emails or phone calls back and forth).
Step 4: The client can go ahead an order
We really find it valuable to provide all of the information to the potential new client so that the really understand how our programs/products can help their businesses grow, but with our owner being out of town on business a number of times a year and there being a lot of new potential clients, he is getting swamped and finds himself having several conversations a week, which are primarily the same information. This is a great "problem" to have, but never the less, it is somewhat of a problem because it leaves him with much less time to get his work done. We are looking to streamline this process just a bit (for the new client, the Owner, and Order Fulfillment Specialist) but still offer all of the information.
I would like to create a form where folks can watch a video of our owner giving the information, which is currently an MP4 on Google Drive and then decide if they'd like to move forward. I would prefer, if possible, that the video is directly in the form rather than having to direct the new client to another site. I'll use the conditional functions so that if they want to move forward, we ask them for all of their contact information. The confirmation email that is sent when they submit the form will send them the price list and explain that a second email will be sent with their Site ID. In essence, I will combine step 1, step 2, and part of step 3 and replace it with the form. Then steps 3 and 4 are what remain.

You can try to embed the link to the video in an Iframe widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/iframe_embed
If you have uploaded the video to YouTube, you can use the YouTube widget: https://widgets.jotform.com/widget/youtube
Let us know if you need more help.
- InfoACTsuccessAnswered on February 10, 2017 at 04:47 PM
Hi there! Thank you for the speedy response. I tried the iFrame widget, but it didn't seem to show the video. I ended up posting it to YouTube as "Unlisted" so that only folks with the link (I'll put it in the YouTube the form widget) can see it. Thank you!

Yes, I'm the blogger who takes stuff that I see and/or hear and spins it into my own creative web. I loooove good material and my fingers get itchy as my brain says, "Oh, that's good stuff!"
Well a nugget presented itself and like the good little blogger I am I couldn't resist. However, if someone read it they'd immediately, without a doubt, would know what and who I was talking about. They'd say, "That's me!" And probably would get offended or upset. People don't give a rat's behind about me "expressing my creativity" if they feel it's at their expense.
Even now I'm skirting around how I really, really want to describe the way it went down (and it's such a good one, ugghh!!!).
Imagine, a location where phone reception goes to die, phone battery on E, and a "Sign in" button nowhere to be found, making signing onto my blog impossible. Let's just say this chick was scrambling, sweating, and cursing trying to get the darn post down before it could be seen.
And I'm not too sure the attempt was successful. Eek!
Oh well. Next time, I won't be so descriptive.

Posted May 16, 2003 by publisher in Cuban Culture
Email this article | Print this article | Search Havana Journal Tweet
By Stephanie Shapiro | [url=http://www.Sunspot.net]http://www.Sunspot.net[/url]
HAVANA, Cuba - The gaunt bicycle taxi driver in ragged clothes who wheeled a travel companion and me over Havana's pocked side streets said he earned $7 a month plus tips and could not afford shoes for his daughter.
He would move to the United States if he could. But he didn't blame Fidel Castro, whom he still revered. How could the leader give to his people, he asked, if he has nothing to give?
Patriotism and acute need make strange bedfellows, but for many Cubans, it's all of a piece. Such paradoxes seem to define life in the island nation.
Not everyone in Cuba is pro-Castro, of course. His sweeping crackdown on dissidents occurred largely during our stay.
But Cubans of all stripes can point to any number of reasons for their hardships - the U.S. trade embargo, a faltering economy and their government's archaic restrictions. At this point in the convoluted history of Cuban-American relations, no one cause and no one government can be singled out for blame. They are of a piece as well.
And whether they side with Mr. Castro or with the dissidents he threw in jail, average Cubans have a more pressing concern than ideology: survival.
When the dollar was made legal tender along with the peso by Mr. Castro in 1993 after the collapse of the Soviet bloc, he helped to create a class system as a crutch for limping socialism - yet another mind-bending twist. As our van driver intoned with a mock air of sage wisdom: "Dollars are the hope of the world."
Those who have access to U.S. dollars, through work in the tourism industry or the largesse of exile family members, are at the top of the ladder. The U.S. government recently increased the amount of cash travelers are allowed to carry to friends and family in Cuba even as it severely curtailed educational tours to the country. Such contradictory moves send mixed messages while widening the gulf between Cuba's haves and have-nots.
Clearly, the striking woman who alighted from a car at the trendy El Aljibe restaurant in Havana was living a dollar-enhanced life that most Cubans can only imagine. Dressed all in white, she made a dramatic entrance, air-kissing friends and staff with movie-star elan.
In Old Havana, we visited a crowded "dollar store," where those with dollars buy electronics, washing machines and Cokes at prices above those in the United States.
But most Cubans we met were not profiting from policy loopholes. In Havana, we also saw Cubans waiting patiently in long lines to receive monthly rations of meat, flour and other staples. Our bicycle taxi driver told us these provisions often ran out before his appointed time to collect them.
While Cuba trades with other countries and the United States has relaxed the embargo to permit the sale of food and medicines to the country, it still lacks necessities. As a result, everyone, it seemed, has honed a strategy for asking, whether for money or books or toothpaste.
For example, we encountered ingratiating sorts on the street who offered guidance - for a price. When I took a photo of a young man carrying a spectacular cake, he automatically asked for a dollar. When we snapped leap-frogging children, adults demanded candy for them.
In more official settings, asking took on a genteel guise. Students at an arts school performed for visitors who came with donations, including art materials, guitar strings, a violin and cash. At an AIDS clinic in Matanzas, the grateful staff reminded us of all that their American benefactors had done for them. The need for more assistance was implicit.
In Havana, the vice president of a synagogue said she spent much of her time soliciting everything from matzo to medical supplies from Jewish communities around the world.
My travel companion's mugging in a desolate Havana neighborhood summed up Cuba's plight. A boy, perhaps 13, had tried to snatch her money belt. He failed, but she was badly bruised and scraped.
At a hospital, she received immediate attention. The visit was free, of course.
But it took stops at two pharmacies to fill prescriptions for an antibiotic and ibuprofen. Even with its own biotechnology industry, Cuba still suffers from shortfalls of basic drugs.
The next day, as we waited for a cab, a man idling on a corner befriended us and asked my friend about her injuries. His concern seemed genuine. But when we got into a cab, he hopped in, too. He insisted on staying with us to make sure there would be no more trouble. It wouldn't cost much, he said.
When we declined his offer, he shrugged and exited the cab. It was worth a try.
Such constant asking must take a toll on the collective soul of Cubans. As neighbors of the United States, they are also reminded ad nauseam of Americans' voracious consumption of the luxuries they are denied by the embargo.
After years of this, an ever-present sense of deprivation has set in, determining Cubans' national character as much as socialism.
Again, it's all of a piece.

Yoga is known to bring forth anti-aging benefits. It coordinates a number of poses that require balance to hold. This coordination and the breathing exercise are what boost your ability to use yoga as an anti-aging exercise. It helps you stay young and energetic. The following yoga exercises are bound to keep you physically fit and maintain a glowing facial look.
Anti-aging Yoga
1. Downward Facing Dog Pose
This is an exercise that keeps you looking young and revitalized. With a mat ready at hand, start by getting down on all your fours and follow this by spreading your fingers apart from each other.
Ensure that your shoulders are above your wrist level. Your knees must also be above your ankles. Extend your right leg as far as you can on the mat. Lift your back and hips with your head low on the ground. This position, you are facing your legs and your body is shaped like an upside-down letter V.
Try this pose for about three minutes daily and enjoy the benefits in the long term.
2. Standing Forward Bend
In an attempt to stay young and active, try this exercise. Stand with your feet apart to create a balance. In this position, bend over towards your front folding yourself. When folding yourself, you are attempting to meet your head and your legs. Ensure that your feet remain straight. You are only folding from your waist.
In this position, you can twist your arms in any position that makes you comfortable. Relax your head and neck to avoid cramping. Stay in this position for about a minute.
3. Supported Shoulder Stand
Other than being an anti-aging yoga pose, this exercise is ideal for many other health benefits. It is not only simple to achieve but it also relaxing. To get started, lie down on your back on the mat. Lift your entire body in an upward direction. As you raise your body, support it using your hands so you do not drop easily. Put pressure on your lower back using your fingers to maintain that position.
4. Plow
With this exercise, lie down on your back as well. Lift your body just like with the supported shoulder exercise. Once you are up, lower your legs towards your face until they touch the ground. Lower your hands in the opposite direction which helps you get some support.
5. Bridge
Start by lying down on your back. Get comfortable then bend your knees. Try lifting your tailbone and your head at the same time. Ensure that your hands are below the pelvis. Hold this position for about eight breaths.
Are These Yoga Effective?
These yoga exercises are very effective. This is because they help you keep you physically fit. In addition, just like with other exercises, it helps to rid your body of toxins. The relaxation and breathing also help to manage stressors. These benefits come together to rejuvenate the entire body thus keeping you healthy and looking younger.
How these Yoga Exercises Work?
What is it that these yoga exercises do for your body to make it work? These yoga exercises are meant to relax your body while at the same time keep you physically fit. It provides your muscles with more elasticity, tones your tendons and ligaments. In addition, it reduces fat and slows weight gain. In respect to the heart,it calms your heart rate and eases your mind. This promotes both spiritual and bodily peace.
An improved posture is an asset when it comes to yoga. In this, it helps you from developing a bad posture which is a feature that an aging body will most likely suffer from. Yoga will also strengthen your back and shoulders as well as promote a strong sense of overall balance.
All these are important aspects of ensuring that you remain young and healthy.
In this, these yoga exercises work to help you stay young. They are simple and easy to work with. In addition, they require very little of your time. As a result, you will have a stronger body with the lean exercise program, manage your weight and at the same time manage any stressful activities with ease.

An appeal to sympathetic coffee drinkers to shun disposable cups is gaining global momentum after its start in Hobart.
The cupconsciouscafe.com website guides users to nearby cafes that support customers bringing reusable cups, and chief executive Peg Putt of environment group Markets for Change says the initiative is expanding to the US and UK.
"Billions of throwaway cups are used every year, then dumped, which is a pointless waste of resources. Paper cups in particular use more than 30 million trees," she said, adding most of the cups were not recyclable.

Welcome to Waiting on Wednesday! Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly featured hosted by Breaking the Spine to spotlight the not yet released books that I wish were in my hot little hands right now.
Oh My Goodness I want this book! I adored both the study and glass series and cannot wait to read more about Yelena and Valek, who are probably my favourite couple of out of all Maria V Snyder's books. The minute I saw it was due out I have been dying to read it and I am anxiously awaiting payday so I can pre-order this and get it in my hot little hands as soon as it comes out So far there seems to be a number of different covers for this book so I have chosen the cover that is my favourite for this post :-)
Shadow Study(Soulfinders #1) by Maria V Snyder
Once, only her own life hung in the balance…When Yelena was a poison taster, her life was simpler. She survived to become a vital part of the balance of power between rival countries Ixia and Sitia.
Now she uses her magic to keep the peace in both lands—and protect her relationship with Valek.
Suddenly, though, dissent is rising. And Valek's job—and his life—are in danger.
As Yelena tries to uncover her enemies, she faces a new challenge: her magic is blocked. And now she must find a way to keep not only herself but all that she holds dear alive.

Talk about a bummer!
Ryan Reynolds thought his teenage dreams were coming true when he was cast opposite Julia Roberts in Fireflies in the Garden. But his bubble soon burst when he found out the context of their roles.
"I was so excited until I found out the scenes I have with her are when she's playing my mother," he tells Parade.com. "I was like, 'Couldn't we have a hot romance instead?'"
Unfortunately, a steamy celluloid love was not meant to be, and 31-year-old Ryan — who's only nine years younger than Julia — had to break the depressing news to his buddies too.
"It's so sad," he says. "I have to tell my friends that I'm getting to act with the old Julia Roberts."
But no matter who she's playing, the Oscar winner still left Ryan very much impressed with her skills. "She's iconic for a very good reason. It's just so smooth, how she comes to the set and how she works. It looks incredibly effortless. She's just a classy lady."
Fireflies in the Garden will hit theaters later this year, but before then, Ryan, who's dating Scarlett Johansson, has his romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe opening on Valentine's Day, in which he recounts his past romances for his daughter (Abigail Breslin) in order to find his true love. So has that taught him anything about what women want?
"Are you crazy?" he says. "How would I ever know that? I would need some serious alone time, some face time with you to get into that."

There is no doubt about it: I am lost. Deep in the Prussian-blue darkness of Somerset woods, I have spiralled into an almost trackless centre.
I take a deep breath and step outside the car, leaning back against the thin metal door.
There is barely a breath of wind or sound, and it is the mildest of winter nights.
As I lean backwards I look up. Above me a new horizon unfolds;
a whole sky-blanket of darkness lit through by a million pale lemon stars.
My work, too, has journeyed into new horizons: the search for light and colour in unexpected places.

The question of whether Alex Smith could continue the rhythm he and his cast of receivers found during the second half of their loss to Green Bay was answered pretty early against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
In fact, it took Smith all of two plays to show the kind of poise in the pocket it appears he'll need this season behind an offensive line that has allowed a league-high 19 sacks.
On second-and-6, the Bengals called a five-man zone blitz that sent two linebackers at the gaps to the left and right of guard Zach Fulton, who was making his first start of the season. The pressure got home, but Smith shuffled to his left and lofted a perfect pass in the flat to Jamaal Charles for 12 yards.

It was a harbinger of things to come, as Smith completed 31 of 45 passes for a career-high 386 yards despite being sacked five times and hit 10 times.
Some of Smith's improved performance had to do with Cincinnati's game plan on defense — the Bengals took away the deep ball by surrendering short passes and essentially playing a bend-but-don't break defense — but some of it also had to do with improved, slightly more aggressive play by the Chiefs' quarterback.
"I think there was a concerted effort by all of us, just to play like that, period, especially on offense — me included," Smith said. "No question, just game plan-wise all week, yeah, we were going to spread it out, we were going to pick our spots, and if some opportunities presented themselves, we were going to take them.
"I feel like we did a better job of that (Sunday), mixing it around, spreading it out, putting (the Bengals) in some tough situations."
And while it still was not good enough to get a victory — to be clear, Smith deserves some blame for the Chiefs being forced to settle for seven field goals in their 36-21 loss — the performance was a positive step after uneven performances against Denver in week two and at Green Bay in week three.
"He did a nice job on Sunday; I thought he played well," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "Were there a few plays you'd like to have back? Absolutely. I think he'd agree with you: We need to get the ball in the end zone when we get on the plus side of the 50. We've all got a piece of that we can do better at."
This is a good, strong throw past the marker to Jason Avant on 3rd and 10. The #Chiefs could use more of this. pic.twitter.com/s1uiMOlqbY— KC Star Sports GIFs (@KCStarGifs) October 7, 2015
Smith got the message; when asked to evaluate his play during his midweek media session, the Chiefs' inability to crack the end zone was the first thing he mentioned.
"Yeah, I think looking back, like in a lot of games, there were probably a handful of plays you wish you had back or maybe made a different decision or saw something that you missed," Smith said. "But for the most part, yeah, I thought it was a lot of good stuff done.
"Offensively, we had a lot of production, yard-wise. Obviously you don't get any points for that, but we were moving it, got in some good rhythms, had a lot of good stuff out there."
Smith's performance capped a six-quarter run against the Packers and Bengals that marks a sharp turnaround from his stats in the previous six quarters.
In his most recent six quarters, Smith has completed 66 percent of his passes (52 of 78) for 639 yards, one touchdown and zero interceptions. In his previous six quarters of work, he completed 18 of 34 passes (52 percent) for 230 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions.
Veteran receiver Jason Avant said the Chiefs learned a great deal from the second half of the Green Bay loss, when Smith completed 21 of 33 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown after they went into halftime trailing 24-7.
"On Monday, we kind of realized that we could be a really good passing team," Avant said.
More encouraging was Smith's budding chemistry with receiver Jeremy Maclin, who signed a free-agent contract this offseason worth $55 million over five years. In his last six quarters, Maclin has caught 19 passes on 22 targets for 289 yards and a touchdown.
In the previous six? Four catches on nine targets for 57 yards.
"There's certainly scenarios where he's just winning 1-on-1," Smith said. "There's scenarios when it's (the) play design and we're getting it to him. And there's times where you're like, 'I'm just gonna let it go because he's rolling right now, he's competitive and you trust (him).' "
This is why the Chiefs (and Alex Smith) were excited to get Jeremy Maclin. pic.twitter.com/wixEfMfEmP— KC Star Sports GIFs (@KCStarGifs) October 5, 2015
The Chiefs will try to keep that chemistry going this Sunday against the Chicago Bears, 1-3, in what amounts to a must-win game if the Chiefs want to avoid a disastrous 1-4 start.
"I think the effort was there, the energy was there," Maclin said. "The difference in the game was they scored touchdowns in the red zone, we didn't."
Haven't seen a #Chiefs WR run away from cats like this in a long time. pic.twitter.com/1zCqUD2yn2— KC Star Sports GIFs (@KCStarGifs) October 7, 2015
Needless to say, the focus this week will be on eliminating the negative plays that sabotaged five of their seven scoring drives against the Bengals.
"It seemed like every single drive, you can point to a negative drive that we had when we got to the red zone, when we got a run, a penalty or something that put us behind the chain," Smith said. "Once they've got you in that situation, they were going to make you throw underneath, come up and tackle (you) and (make you) take the field goal.
"We've just got to be better down there — that's it. This week's a different challenge, so you're taking the things you learned last week but moving forward. This is a new challenge this week, and we have to figure out how to beat these guys."

There may be changes on the horizon for my online customers!
Etsy has been sending me emails for the last month or so about updating my Payment Policy and accepting Etsy Payments. The new email I got this morning stated that any Etsy Seller that doesn't accept Etsy Payments will have their account deactivated on May 18. I prefer using PayPal as the funds are received instantly, the customer is protected and I can ship via PayPal (which also protects the seller). Basically the difference between Etsy Payments and PayPal is that Etsy would hold onto the funds until a deposit date. So I would have to use Etsy's shipping method and they would hold onto all the funds until they deposit it. So i emailed my concerns to them, since I was grandfathered into the previous payment policy. So if they decide to force me to accept the Etsy Payments I will be shutting down my Etsy Shop on May 17 and sourcing out an online shop domain. Sorry for the inconvenience to all my customers and more info will be announced as I know it 😄

On Thursday afternoon the whole excited Senior Syndicate walked to the hall to get ready for fishing. When we were nearly at the wharf I was exhausted and nervous because I had been fishing once before.When we got there we sat down and I put my fishing line in the water. My hands were sore because I was holding the fishing rod too tight.When my hands were better I sat back down and I started to fish.I waited for a fish to come but no fish came but I was having fun with all of my friends and my sister.Then I noticed my fishing line was at the bottom of the sea, so I pulled it up a little so fish could come and eat the bait that was on my hook.Lydia and Malia caught a fish and their fish were big and small.They felt proud and tremendous that they had caught a fish.I took my time fishing and I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for a fish to come and eat my bait.
I had a great time fishing with my school! Next time I will see if I can go fishing with my Mum and Dad at the wharf. I will go in a car though because the walking was long and hard!
I felt brilliant and proud because some people caught fish and some people didn't. Next time I go fishing I will have a bigger hook. I love fishing and will go with my family.

What's this protest all about?
As you can probably tell, this protest is meant to be a joke.
But this joke today is going to be the reality in the very near future.
This protest is representative of what will happen to those industries and companies that fail to understand times have changed.
Legacy industries that have gone unchallenged for decades will soon begin to see their monopoly slip away.
The consumer abuse that's been possible due to a lack of competition is over. The biggest competitor they've ever faced has arrived and it's not a company or organization, it's a decentralized technology.
It will soon no longer be possible to charge the poorest people in the world exorbitant fees to send money back home to support their families.
The lucrative $15 billion overdraft industry that enriches banks will soon disappear.
And all the middlemen who've built business models simply from being in the middle – will see their control slowly slip away.
These are just three of the hundreds – if not thousands of examples of the industries blockchain technology will disrupt.
As Jamie Dimon once said "Silicon Valley is Coming to Eat Our Lunch".
Well Jamie, and all the others who stand to be disrupted – Bitcoin will be coming for a lot more than just your lunch if you fail to adapt to the new world we live in.
Marco Streng, CEO Genesis Mining

The basis of all yoga postures stems from your contact with the earth. But how can you draw maximum benefits from this teaching in everyday life, once you leave the mat?
When you think about being grounded, it's also about being anchored, stability, assurance, balance and strength, presence and the present moment: everything that naturally emerges from regular meditation. However, it is possible to cultivate grounding by making small changes to your everyday life.
Here are just a few examples:
Have a daily ritual: it's one of the best ways of cultivating grounding no matter where you are. You see it in children as soon as they are forced to break away from their routine: they become distracted and agitated. It's the same thing for us! Think about what happens when you travel or face an important change in your life; it's hard to feel stable, because you lose your roots, your foundation. Therefore, it's important to create a ritual dedicated to internalization every day, kind of like stopping time, which will allow you to come back to what you know.
Eat root vegetables: Food has an energetic effect on the physical, as well as mental and emotional body. The energy drawn from the ground will enhance this element in your cells and at the same time, your connection to the earth and your ability to recenter yourself.
Disconnect from social media: Unless social media presence is part of your work, try to use them in small doses. It's well known that they cause us to get caught up in daydreaming, and take us further away from our fundamental values, increasing feelings of envy. Nothing could be more toxic in terms of separating you from your roots!
Go on a technology fast: Anything linked to technology reduces our ability to stay in the present moment. One day a week, try not to use your computer, your television and your smartphone. You'll rediscover how present you can be during life's precious moments without letting yourself be interrupted by instant messages or the latest news in your feed!
Go play outside: Being out in nature feeds your body with prana and allows you to take a break from your hectic everyday life. Go breathe in some fresh air by taking a walk, build a snowman, go swimming outdoors, walk barefoot on the grass or try an activity in the forest. Nature is calming and will help you get in touch with the peace that lives inside you.
These examples can seem basic, but make an effort to put them into practice in order to recreate the grounding you feel after a good yoga class. You'll feel the benefits of simplicity, which is not very sought after nowadays, but remains so essential.
In fact, grounding literally translates into your ability to strongly stay in the present moment with every instant that passes.

I've spoken to both authors and receivers of the "Dreaded Newsletter." And I call it that, not to offend, but because those who write them see it as a chore and those who receive them tend to file them away with the rest of the bills and mail because they're just a 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
So after seeing both sides of this issue, I decided to come up with an idea to satisfy everyone...
If it looks like a card, it will be displayed with all cards received that year; and if it has photos and cute captions, it'll be enjoyed for years to come. My idea? A tri-fold card with both a Christmas message and a "year in review" photo montage.
I began with photos and Photoshop Elements to make the insert. If you're a digi scrapper, it's a breeze. For me however, although somewhat PSE savvy, it took a few hours. After that was done, it was off to the print shop for color copies. At 39 cents a copy, it was more economical than printing on my photo printer.
Next, create the trifold card base. I used Close to my Heart cardstock (New England Ivy) for my base and a Martha Stewart scoring board that I just can't live without. Then came the fun! Using the Mistletoe paper from CTMH, I designed the front and the sentiment on the inside, and voila! A super simple, totally sassy twist on the annual newsletter.
If you'd like detailed instructions on this project, please email me or include your email address in your comment.
Thanks for stopping by and have a Sassy Day!

- Tesla resorts to air shipments to fix Gigafactory bottlenecks
Tesla resorts to air shipments to fix Gigafactory bottlenecksby Drew Johnson
Tesla is hoping to alleviate a major production bottleneck.
It's no secret that Model 3 production hasn't gone exactly as Tesla had planned, but the company is reportedly taking drastic steps to remove one of the key bottlenecks that's holding back production.
According to Reuters, Tesla flew six planes full of robots and equipment from Europe to the United States to revamp the battery production line at the company's Gigafactory near Reno, Nevada. An inadequate supply of batteries is reportedly one issue that is slowing production of the Model 3.
As you'd expect, shipping manufacturing equipment via air is quite expensive, but Elon Musk reportedly ordered the expedited shipping to help alleviate the ongoing problem — shipping via boat and rail would have taken weeks, if not longer.
"As usual with Tesla, everything is being done in a massive hurry and money seems to be no obstacle," an inside source revealed.
Musk has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the subcontractor that originally assembled the Gigagfactory's battery lines, saying, "we were promised they would work, and it just didn't work."
It remains unknown how long it will take to get the new equipment up and running, but it will likely take some time to get everything setup and calibrated. But even without the updated battery line, Tesla says it should be able to hit its goal of production 5,000 Model 3s per week by June.

I've been playing this game on facebook for the last 24 hours now and find it really quite addicting especially for me because it plays pretty much the same as Sid Meier's Civilization.
It also has things that looks like farmville(not too sure as I've never played it and don't ever want to). Basically you have a 2x2 tile which you can either plant, mine, etc, etc... Then there's also the part of building World Wonders ala Civilization except that you will need FB friends to help you out to complete it.
The interface looks like this. If you like Civilization, you'll most likely like this game to pass and/or waste time. :)
