Childlike innocence,
Eyes all brightened up with exemplary shine,
A heart filled with nothing but love,
Oh! That laughter is so divine.
Curiosity at its level best,
Questions about anything and everything do they catechize,
They wear their heart on their sleeves truly,
Giving warmth to the world so frosty and hostile.
Life, their garden of Eden
Them, being the Prince and Princess of this paradise
The hands that touch not body but soul,
The Lips that utter only raw thoughts.
They look for the good in everything,
Their souls so pure and angel-like,
No walls but The world, their ally,
No wars but the goodwill their bowie knife.
Grown up to a whole new being,
Becoming more of the frigid earthling,
Holding us to the faith and Hope,
The memories of our childhood will suffice.

As Jews and Americans, we are committed to aiding members of our community in need through the work of our synagogues, CRCs and other private organizations, while relying on our federal government to ensure that it has the fiscal means to meet the needs of all its citizens. To feed the hungry, clothe the poor, heal the sick, and educate our children, our federal government requires the resources that come from tax revenue.
The Bush Administration's proposed Fiscal Year 2005 budget seeks to make permanent the recent federal tax cuts. To do so would increase deficits by $2 trillion between 2005-2014, inhibiting federal investment in both existing and new programs. These tax cuts will affect the lives and well-being of our children, and our children's children, who will struggle in a society weakened by the fiscal decisions our government is now making. The JCPA calls on the Administration and Congress to enact legislation that will allow the federal government to meet its responsibilities to its citizens and to reject efforts to make permanent the recent tax cuts.

FOR AS LONG AS HER FRIENDS AND family can recall, Sheila Rauch Kennedy, former wife of U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II, has played strictly by the rules. "I remember as a child, if you were playing canasta with Sheila and our grandmother cheated, Sheila would take umbrage," says her brother Ben Rauch. "Sheila pointed out to her that it wasn't quite cricket."
Joe Kennedy might have thought twice before asking his ex-wife four years ago for a quick annulment of their 12-year marriage, which ended in divorce in 1991, so he could remarry as a Catholic. (The church does not recognize divorce.) "We had been married for 12 years, had known each other for nine years before, and we had two children," says Sheila, 48, who has taken her fight against the annulment, granted by the Archdiocese of Boston last fall, all the way to the Vatican and has stated her case in a new book, Shattered Faith. "My concern was for the children," she says, referring to twin sons Joseph and Matthew, 16. According to the church, children of an annulled marriage are considered legitimate, but they are not, as Sheila notes, "products of a true marriage." Asks their mother: "How are we going to teach them…what truth is, if everything can be bought and sold, bartered and then denied?"
Since going public, Kennedy, an Episcopalian, has become an unlikely hero to many women, Catholic and non-Catholic, who have felt devastated by the secretive annulment process. The 193 church tribunals, each composed of at least three priests, grant approximately 60,000 annulments a year in the U.S., often over the objections of one of the spouses. "It was a very emotional experience to have the church tell you that what you had devoted so many years of your life to hadn't existed," says Tucson writer Patricia B. Cadigan, 67, who met Sheila in 1995 as a result of her anti-annulment crusade. Cadigan's ex-husband tried unsuccessfully to annul their 23-year marriage 15 years after they divorced. "You just have to keep fighting," she says. "Otherwise the grand machinery runs over you."
For Sheila, the four-year struggle has been a bitter coda to a once happy marriage—and an initially amicable divorce. Raised in the affluent Philadelphia suburb of Villanova by banker R. Stewart Rauch and his wife, Frances, a homemaker who later got a master's degree in reading and special education, Sheila was introduced to her future husband by a mutual friend during her senior year at Wheaton College, where she graduated with a degree in government in 1970. When she and Joe were married at St. John Baptist Vianney Church in Gladwyne, Pa., in 1979 after a nine-year courtship, friends commented, "It's about time," Sheila says.
The two complemented one another. "He's an extrovert. I tend to be shy," says Sheila. They settled in Boston, where Joe had started a nonprofit oil company and Sheila worked part-time as a city planning consultant while concentrating on raising the twins, born in 1980. But fault lines began to appear after Joe won a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986. "I don't think she was ever comfortable with political life," says Cory Atkins, wife of former Rep. Chester Atkins (D-Mass.).
As Joe raised his public profile, "family life really wasn't on the menu anymore," says Sheila. "The house was always full of campaign people. There was more pressure put on me. You know, 'You and the children ought to look good [for] the next event.' " Before Joe's election, says Sheila, "he really enjoyed that I spoke out." Afterward, she says, "I was supposed to change into this doormat. I wasn't even supposed to have ideas about how to raise the children." In 1989, Sheila and Joe separated; she filed for divorce two years later. (In a prepared statement, Joe says, "I understand Sheila's feelings and respect her right to express them.")
Politically, Sheila's crusade couldn't come at a worse time for Joe, who is preparing to run next year for governor of Massachusetts. A recent poll showed his strength slipping significantly, particularly among women voters. "There is no question the annulment issue had an effect," says pollster Lou DiNatale. Still, observers note that Joe, who married longtime staffer Beth Kelly in a 1993 civil ceremony and hopes for a church ceremony one day, is accustomed to weathering political storms. Says one Capitol Hill veteran: "He will play the devoted father—which he is—and hope the voters forgive him."

Brewery: Stringers – www.stringersbeer.co.uk / @Stringersbeer
Style: Pale Ale
Pouring and Look: Light, clear copper, small white head, very little carbonation.
Smell: Light tang of citrus hops, oranges, malt base and sweetness.
Taste: Bitter grapefruit taste with a marmalade sweetness, the after-taste reminds me of the of malt-loaf.
Thoughts: A perfect BBQ beer, full of flavour and very tasty, it packs a punch at 6.5%. It could do with being a little more lively. There was a nice head at the start but as you can see that went totally in the time it took me to take the picture. Still a fantastic beer though.
The perfect time to drink it:
Once upon a time in a land far away there lived a very grumpy dragon. Everybody annoyed the dragon; the local knights harassed him as they tried to steal his treasure, his neighbour – the unicorn – was continually too happy and the way he pranced around wound the dragon up even further. One Sunday afternoon was particularly bad for the dragon, he'd met an overly chatty mermaid and magician who wanted to capture the dragon and ride him. He'd had enough, he was going to move! Looking out of his cave, at the foot of the valley, he spied a very large and tall mountain in the distance. "That's it" he thought "I'm going to move up there away from all these cretins that live around me". So in the space of two days the dragon had moved all his possessions – mainly treasure and a spare pair of underpants – from his valley cave to his new cave high up in the mountains. Now I think it's safe to say that the dragon loved his new home high up in the mountains, he had a fantastic view and wasn't interrupted by crazed magicians, prancing unicorns, thieving knights or overly chatty mermaids. Life was good – in the first week alone he'd already gone through the backlog of his books and his daily high altitude flights made him fitter than ever.
But as the weeks went by and the dragon had nothing left to be grumpy about he began to feel a little empty inside. You see the dragon kind of liked being angry at everyone as it gave him a little fire in his belly, of course it was nice being relaxed some of the time but he was made to blow fire and gobble cattle, not read books and lounge around. The dragon realised he needed the annoying cretins for him to be a dragon. With a set heart the dragon flew down from his mountain cave to the valley below. On the way he picked up – and roasted – a few sheep as he'd decided to host a BBQ. He invited the magician, wizard, mermaid and even the unicorn. Their idiocy annoyed the hell out of him and made him grumpier than ever. At the end of the BBQ once everybody had gone home the dragon felt grumpier than ever, to celebrate this he opened up a hidden bottle of Stringers Delta V and thought it's good to be a dragon again.

Sitting Down Is Not An Option ~ Part Deux
2 comments:
- AnonymousMay 3, 2016 at 9:40 AM
I made a decision that I can't vote for these clowns. So about 6 months ago I quit- I stopped reading, I stopped listening, I stopped my political veins from bleeding. I DON'T THINK I'VE MISSED A THING! I'm so much more healthier since I don't care about the Clintons, the Sanders, the Trumps, etc. I don't care. Not a single candidate can help this country. So I ain't voting either! Not even 3rd party.ReplyDelete
Let me fix ONE THING for you.... you said--- The GOP has reduced the process of selecting the next President of these here United States into some kind of reality game show. It's so twisted that it's pathetic beyond description. >Where it says GOP- please replace this with POLITICIANS<
I would have to disagree, Doug. The GOP turned it into a game show with its collection of rivals to be voted off GOP island. The Dems have their own issues, but game show was not one of them.Delete

Naseeruddin Shah, Anupam Kher Fight over Kashmiri Pandits
A war of words has broken out between two well-known Bollywood actors, Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher, over who can fight for Kashmiri Pandits.
Kher, a Kashmiri Pandit, was quick to respond and tweeted, "By that logic, NRIs should not think about India at all". Kher has been vocal about his fight for Kashmiri Pandits and had last month urged the government to build "first smart city" for the displaced community in Kashmir Valley and said he felt that the Article 370 (which prohibits Indian citizens from other parts of the country from purchasing land or property in the state) should be abolished.
In India, there are around 62,000 registered Kashmiri Pandit families who migrated during the nineties from the Valley due to rising militancy in the Jammu and Kashmir region.
The Jammu and Kashmir government had earlier this month informed the Centre that it had identified three areas for rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants. The Narendra Modi government had kept the rehabilitation of Kashmiri migrants on top of its agenda and had sanctioned Rs 500 crore in its first budget itself.

A children's nursery in Fife has been forced to review its safety procedures after a four-year-old boy was found wandering the streets half a mile away.
The child managed to open the main entrance doors to Carelton Nursery in Glenrothes before walking out of the building.
The youngster then managed to reach Woodside Way before using a pedestrian crossing and proceeding past the Lomond Centre.
He was eventually found as he entered the A92 underpass by his mother who was on her way to pick him up.
The serious breach of security at the nursery happened at around 3pm on Thursday, April, 20.
Jacqueline Price, Education and Children's Services acting head of service (early years), said: "Last week a child managed to open the security door at one of our nurseries by climbing up to reach the magnetic release."
It's remains unclear as to how long the child had been missing before staff were alerted, though Jaxcueline Price added: "The child had only been out of staff's sight for a short time, which is normal as children move between the garden and nursery rooms.
"We're very sorry for the distress this has caused the family.
"I'd like to reassure our nursery community that safety and security of our children is our top priority.
"We're reviewing the incident and nursery processes to make sure it cannot happen again."
Reports that door mechanisms at the nursery were faulty and were a contributory factor in the incident have been ruled out by Fife Council
Jacqueline Price said: "While there have been intermittent problems with the spring on the door, this was not a factor in last week's incident.
"Tradesmen have been to the nursery to repair the door but, once again, this is not linked to the unfortunate events of last week."

Officially Launching the Fair Share Campaign
- Posted by: Adiel Pollydore
- September 18, 2015
- BIC, Featured, MCAN, News & Updates
- Economic Justice, Fair Share Campaign, Raise Up MA
This week, MCAN and our partners at Raise Up Massachusetts launched the Fair Share Amendment Campaign, and our signature gathering period has officially begun. Will you join us in collecting signatures? Email firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll mail you petition forms.
This is an opportunity of a generation to make systemic economic change – to create an economy where we all contribute to a future of abundance for our children. Our faith traditions teach us that all things belong to God, and that as stewards of land and wealth, we each have a responsibility to help build a beloved community where every one of God's children can thrive.
But right now, our economic system in MA does not reflect these values. Right now, millionaires pay a smaller share of their income in state and local taxes than everyone else. This is largely because low and middle-income earners pay a higher share of their income in sales taxes and property taxes, and due to the tax benefits for the wealthiest residents.
This amendment will raise $1.3 billion annually in new state revenue by raising taxes on income over $1 million by 4%, and ensure that we all pay our fair share. The revenue will be dedicated to investing in education (public schools, pre-school, state colleges) and transportation (fixing roads, bridges, and the MBTA and regional transit systems) – the future of our children, and the reliability of our livelihoods.
We have from now until November 15th to collect 100,000 petition signatures. We can do it, but we'll need your help.
**Can you please get 10+ of your friends, co-workers, church or synagogue members, or other people to sign this petition? If you think you can do it, email email@example.com with your name, mailing address, email, and phone number to let us know, and we'll send you petition forms.
Thanks and with peace,
Lew Finfer and the MCAN staff and leaders
PS: We're proud of the two MCAN leaders who will be listed on the petition as some of the first signers – Debbie Frontierro, a leader in our ECCO affiliate and Rev. Jose Encarnacion, a leader in our Worcester Interfaith affiliate.

Hey guys!
Thank you all for the overwhelming response to my last article on how to dress for a formal event! I'm so glad to hear you love the look and got inspired! Dare to show some leg girls! 🙂
Some of you commented on my Filmfare look recently, asking why I chose to wear an Indian outfit instead of opting for a gown as most celebrities do at a black tie or red carpet event.
Let me say that first of all, I think there is no more graceful way of dressing than in a beautiful Indian outfit! Anarkali being my favourite! So whenever there is a chance for me to go with an Indian style, I do it. Filmfare being our Indian equivalent to The Oscars, I find it the one opportunity in the year to go all out with my most stunning red carpet style.
Sukriti, my lovely stylist, chose this gorgeous Anju Modi ensemble and I instantly fell in love with it! Mid-night blue with sparkly silver embroidery and a sheer dupatta… It made me feel like royalty. Ravina put up my hair to let the outfit stand in all it's glory and chose a slightly heavier eye make-up for the red carpet occasion.
A special thank you at this point to Filmfare and Mr. Nilesh Singh for the honourable mention of our charity foundation Seams For Dreams at this years awards function. It really means a lot to us having the support of the Indian film and fashion industry to help us achieve our mission to give back to the ones in need.
What do you think of this look and where would you wear it? Comment below!

Director: Greg Mottola
If Pegg and Frost were even half as funny as they patently think they are, then their science fiction comedy would be hilarious. Sadly, theyre not.
What we get is a single joke alien meets nerds extended far beyond its natural limits and rapidly descending into a series of juvenile japes lavishly decorated with the F- word in place of genuine wit or comic invention. While fans of the duo will probably be happy with the crass, coarse and crude humour on offer from the Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz stable, non-fans are unlikely to become converts to Pegg and Frosts particular brand of obvious comedy and queasy bromance.
The plot melds Starman with E.T. when their characters a couple of comic book nerds, in seventh heaven after attending a Comic Con shindig in San Diego, embark on a road trip around Americas most notable UFO sites and end up giving a lift to a mini-alien in the E.T. mould who is on the run from the authorities. Cue lewd humour which is no funnier for being uttered by the smart-ass know-all alien (gay jokes followed by the topper, Everyones bi on my planet) who claims Agent Mulder was my idea. Along the way Pegg and Frost liberate Bible Belt belle Wiig from her fundamentalist father and use their characters to spring a series of mostly less than side-splitting gags about religion. And their idea of sophisticated wit is to name the pursuing US government agent, gamely played by Bateman, Lorenzo Zoil.
Rogen gives far and away the best performance and sensibly stays off-screen to speak for the CGI alien. Pegg and Frost once again play Pegg and Frost, which I found increasingly wearisome, and my sympathy and admiration go to Wiig, Lynch, Bateman, Danner, Weaver and Hader for bravery in the face of a facile script. Mottolas direction is exactly what the duo's screenplay and acting abilities deserve - he appears simply to have pointed the cameras at them and let them do what they want.
Personally, I felt I deserved better, and Im a fan of science fiction films - and comedy.

"By now, I'm sure you've all received many thanks for your hard work in putting this event together over the last six years, to which I can only add my own humble compliments: Wellman Hall, the Quad, Freeborn Hall, and all of UC Davis for that matter was absolutely illuminated this past weekend by the fierce radiance of the SAYS Summit, for which I can only imagine tides of roaring applause from the individuals after whom the workshops of the event were named. And I do not mean this lightly; your work is historic; for bringing together young people of all backgrounds together, it creates a spectacular vision within the chronology of activism at UC Davis, within Sacramento, and within the various, transnational struggles to uplift consciousness worldwide. I had the chance to sit in on two workshops, and found myself impressed both by the leadership skills of the facilitators, as well as the maturity and intellectualism with which the students responded. Now, I want to know how I can take part. I recognize that organizations like SAYS are only possible through the contributions of each student, parent, volunteer, and every other member of the community who is willing to create a better world; I am here at Davis precisely because of the presence of such figures in my own life, and now I reflect their will, struggling to do justice to all the sacrifices they've made for me to get here. The road has been jagged. It has been cruel and unrelenting. And yet, in the matter of a few weeks, I will be the first of my family to graduate from a four-year university." – UC Davis Undergraduate
"Hello, I got the great privilege of hearing you [Vajra Watson] speak and I truly thank you. In a matter of minutes your words already had me thinking and speaking differently. Personally, your words have motivated me. It is the end of the school year and my classes coincidentally are becoming harder as we get closer to transcripts. Each day I get closer to wanting to give up, but your words have given me an extra push and I refuse to give up. So in advance I want to thank you for contributing to my success." – local high school student

You shouldn't judge a book (or in this case a DVD case) by its cover. That phrase especially holds true for Blade & Soul – a thirteen episode anime currently available to buy in the UK courtesy of Animatsu Entertainment. Before watching the series I was expecting fan service aplenty, based on the bevy of beauties pictured on the cover art. My expectations were also influenced by the fact that Blade & Soul is based on a Korean MMO. For those of you not familiar with online gaming, let's just say that South Korean titles have a reputation for starring unrealistically proportioned ladies (do a quick Google search on Scarlet Blade if you don't believe me.) Surprisingly however Blade & Soul has a meaningful plot and avoids watering down its story with superfluous titillation… although worry not perverts – the comedic final episode does showcase some skin.
Blade & Soul follows the adventures of a former assassin named Alka, whose silver haired locks, lack of emotion and talent with a sword remind me a little of Claymore's Claire. Alka is on a quest to avenge the death of her master (a wise sage who looks like the by-product of Mr Miyagi and a squirrel.) Unlike your usual revenge caper Alka isn't fuelled by hatred, but is merely retaliating in line with the code of the sword that she devoutly follows. Alka's target is a fellow fencer named Jin Varel who, aside from being skilled with a blade, is also able to control a deadly miasma. If you have any doubts on who to root for simply follow the cowboy hat colour code. Alka dresses in white so she is the goody whilst gothic Jin, who is clad in black, is the villain of the piece.
For the most part Blade & Soul is broken up into episodic tales. Viewers witness Alka travel across the land offering her services to anyone who needs them. The first episode for example has Alka protecting a village from the nefarious Palam Empire. Episode five on the other hand sees the heroine serve as bodyguard to a revolutionary who is attempting to sabotage a drug plantation. Anyone expecting stories were Alka waltzes in and saves the day be forewarned that Blade & Souls' yarns often end in tragedy. The sadistic scriptwriters have no qualms about slaughtering innocents to get a reaction from their audience. Even the leading lady is not immune to the carnage around her. Although portrayed as a silent badass, Alka suffers a mental breakdown later on in the series when the atrocities she committed in the past begin to catch up with her.
Over the course of her journey Alka regularly crosses paths with a predominately female supporting cast. Where ever Alka goes bounty hunter Hazuki Jin follows, eager to claim the price on the protagonist's head. Hazuki is a gunslinger that loves firearms and a good drink. Her favourite watering hole is an establishment run by Karen El – a refined blonde beauty whose dance moves have the unfortunate side effect of transforming her into an uncanny valley CG model. Last but not least is Loana Dan who leads a group of outcasts known as The Pleasure Gang. If you wish to join their ranks be aware that the gang's dress code demands that you wear Legion of Doom imitation spikey shoulder pads.
My rating for Blade & Soul is four stars. A tad generous perhaps, but given that watchable video game adaptations are a rarity you'll have to forgive me for being less critical than usual. The show also gets bonus points, as it finally gives me the opportunity to pen an anime review were the synopsis is free from the words "high school." I think the series will appeal to fantasy fans and anyone who appreciates high-octane swordfights. Why anyone in the Blade & Soul universe would choose to carry a pistol is beyond me. This is one of those shows were everyone can gracefully evade projectiles from point blank range and bullets can easily be deflected with the mere swipe of a dagger.
I was impressed by how poignant Blade & Soul's narrative is. Although I am not acquainted with the source material, I doubt the game's story matches the anime's quality. Writers seldom put effort into MMO scripts, as your average player would rather slaughter ten rats for a quest rather than read. My only gripe with the story would be how Alka becomes a dejected mess. A battle-hardened warrior turning into a crybaby due to the death of two acquaintances is a bit of a stretch. Similarly the manner in which some of Alka's rivals switch allegiances on the drop of a dime could have been explained better. Those quibbles aside I really enjoyed Blade & Soul. Even the bonus fan service episode has merit, as it adds some levity to an otherwise sombre show. Now all we need is for someone to make a thought provoking Scarlet Blade anime and my faith in video game cartoons will be restored.

GMTV Fitness Instructor, Deanne Berry attributes much of her healthy lifestyle to growing up in Sydney, Australia. " Being an Ozzie, I just love being outdoors," she enthuses, "Dad loves growing his own herbs and veg and Mum makes fabulous salads from the papaya's, so we would often have our food straight from the garden. It would go straight from the plant to the BBQ. It's really healthy and obviously all the preparation of growing it and then harvesting it keeps you active too. Gardening is definitely one of the best ways to keep fit," she emphasises.
Now living in London, Deanne continues, "When I go home, Dad and I go fishing in a little kayak and then light a fire on the sand and eat the fish we've caught. It tastes amazing and we also burn loads of calories catching it." she laughs. "I miss having a garden in London but I still manage to grow herbs and I get to the Parks as often as possible to run and just enjoy Nature. Being in Nature is good for you too," continues the motivational maestro. "I have just been to a wedding in the Cook Islands and we picked fresh flowers for the Bride. The Frangipani's are so pretty and even the little wild flowers are amazing."
"When I presented the Bikini Diet on GMTV last year, most of it was filmed outdoors as I think the fresh air is so good for you. We were lucky as most of it was also done on a Cruise in the Med." she admits. "But even in this icy cold British weather you can still wrap up warm and run or walk outdoors. Take the family to the Park and just run around and have fun," she suggests. "Exercise needs to be enjoyable and fun or you won't stick to it. That's why gardening is so good for you; there's load of variety, you burn up calories and get great tasting food and lovely flowers as well."
Having motivated stars like Colleen Nolan and Kylie Minogue, Deanne advises, "On really wet, horrible days you can use my fitness DVD, 'Clubland – The Workout of Your Life'. It's a high energy work out with fun dance routines and a lot of jumping about," she laughs. "There are lots of different sections to keep you motivated so you're not counting the minutes until you finish," she adds.
The fitness Queen has another tip, "Keep a pair of trainers just for indoor use and treat yourself to some nice fitness clothes and you'll feel better about exercising," she says, "Don't hide under baggy clothes, they won't inspire you."
"Though," she adds cheerfully, "that's another good reason for exercising outdoors …. there are no mirrors!"
Deanne's DVD is now available from www.amazon.co.uk.


text: I spent most of my career as a Financial Services Representative. I spoke to people all over the United States about investments and personal risk management. I educated, informed and really took a very consultative approach to my business. I ,however, became very burnt- out to the point where I physically felt ill every time I went to work. I was depressed and had aged dramatically from the level of stress that I experienced on a day to day basis. I finally had it. My health was really being affected . My blood pressure was to the point that I was taking three medications to keep it under control. Then I found internet marketing about 1 year ago and have really enjoyed the day to day opportunity to earn an executive income without the executive stress. I have lost weight. My blood pressure is down. I don't have to worry about making it to work on time. I am my own boss. Funny thing is, I work all day and I don't even feel tired!

Jazz singer Sachal Vasandani on his new album and upcoming India tour
Vocalist Sachal Vasandani takes swigs of an extra fizzy drink at a bustling cafe in Manhattan as Eminem blares through the speakers. "It's Diet Coke and club soda," confesses the 33-year-old, grinning boyishly as he fiddles with the orangey beverage, which, like the brand of jazz he delivers, is a self-made concoction.
"Since I was young, I've always believed in being cutting edge and needing to revolutionize," asserts the Illinois transplant, who arrived in New York via Michigan over ten years ago. "But it needs to be balanced with discipline and structure."
In many ways, Vasandani's third album, Hi-Fly, released by Mack Avenue in late June, is a soulful seesaw, teetering between artistic conventions and a
highly individualistic brand. Original songs like "Flood", an emotional ode to victims of the recent natural disaster in Japan, exist alongside more familiar tracks, like "The Very Thought of You," previously crooned by Bing Crosby and Billie Holliday. Then there's a heartbreakingly honest rendition of the Amy Winehouse hit, "Love is a Losing Game". "The album's title pays homage to a tune written by Jon Hendricks, a jazz legend," Vasandani says. "For people who don't necessarily want to listen to it for all the layers, it's also breezy."
Some of Vasandani's earliest musical memories include listening to his grandfather's Hindustani classical collection, peppered with the occasional K.L. Saigal tune and a healthy dollop of modern American jazz, courtesy of his forward-thinking parents (both architects). "The Indian idea of respect for your elders translated really well when I got into jazz music because paying homage is such a constant part of what it's about," he reveals. "It's also about moving forward."
In addition to an upcoming showcase in New York, the young musician's plans include a multi-city trip in India, slated for October. It's no coincidence, either, as he's more open to adapting to the Indian market than before. "When I first started out, I was so obstinately purist," explains Vasandani. "[Now] if there was any potential to put me in a film situation and sing a song in a different style, as long as it's rewarding, I'm open to that," he hints, as his voice rises slightly. "I love collaborations and I'm ready to be inspired."

I love Texas Street. Texas Street is pretty quiet and full of Russian tourists and the occasional group of American sailors on shore leave during the day time. At night it opens like a noisy, neon flower.
Today being Saturday I was being especially lazy. I just puttered around my apartment, tidied up, downloaded a pile of movies to watch later. Nothing interesting. So around 9 pm I decided I'd go out and take a stroll around my neighbourhood. I needed to pick up some tofu to make some doenjang gu (bean paste soup), and I was craving a homemade cheeseburger, too. This cute Filipina always calls to me from her restaurant at the bottom of Texas Street, so I figured I'd stop there and try a couple of her burgers. I live at the southern end of the strip and it's about a 20 minute walk to the north end, long enough to be and adventure.
I took a walk down Texas Street to my bank to get some cash from the bank machine. On my way down Texas Street I saw the riot of vice and culture that is Saturday night on Texas Street. A pair of Russian guys holding hands (open homosexuality is taboo in Korea), the usual assortment of familiar heavyset, bleached-blonde Russian ladies calling to me from the doors of Russian "cafes", some attractive Russian girls heading to the "juicy bars" (places where nice-looking Russian girls get you to buy them expensive watered-down drinks in hopes of taking them home), and the clothing and trinket shops that are mixed in with the Chinese restaurants and liquor stores.
On my way back, a Korean guy, middle-aged business type stopped me, the conversation went like this (I'll just refer to the Anonymous Korean as AK):
AK: "Excuse me."
Monk: "Yes?"
AK: "Are you Russian?"
Monk: "Anio, Kanadae. (No, Canadian)"
AK: "Hangookmal haseyo? (Can you speak Korean)"
Monk: "Hangookmal jokum. (Only a little)"
AK: "I want to buy a handgun."
Monk: "Sorry, I can't help you."
AK: "Kamsa hamnida. (thanks very much)"
After this strange encounter (although not so very strange for Texas Street, I guess) I stopped in the Filipina's place and got two of the most delicious home-style cheeseburgers. Just like the ones from Ches's Fish'n'Chips back home but with fresh cucumber instead of pickles. And when I said that I wanted them with everything they were about to put fried egg on them. No dice, when I want some comfort food I don't want anyone to mess with my head. I'll try the burger with egg another time when I'm in my usual "anything goes" mood.
I stopped at a neighbourhood store on the way home and realised that I can now speak enough Korean to ask for garbage bags (garbage bags have to be bought in your district, they're kinda pricey, about 50 cents each, but they subsidize the cost of trash collection.)
I'm going to lie back now and have a big drink, watch a movie and maybe look up how to become an arms merchant in Korea. Or maybe I'll just keep teaching English and enjoying the freak show that is my neighbourhood (and possibly my life.)

Idylls in music and poetry
Forgotten Fields contemplates fleeting images of rural beauty in music and poetry. The natural world fills me with wonder. How sweet is the song of the swallow as it dances in the air, how moving the sigh of the wind as it sweeps over the grass! I am a musician and poet from the Western Cape of South Africa. I compose idylls in melody and verse inspired by my rural surroundings. Forgotten Fields is an act of adoration. Thank you for considering my work.

Since the 1979 revolution Iranian women have had to follow strict dress and behavioural codes in public.
Men and women cannot take part in sports together, and are not allowed to be spectators at events involving the opposite gender.
A group of female runners who were told at the last minute they could not take part in the Tehran marathon risked being arrested and detained by Iran's strict religious authorities in order to stage their own race instead.
Around 160 women out of a total of 600 runners had registered to compete in Friday's first ever 'Teh RUN', a 26 mile (42 kilometre) race around the Iranian capital, including dozens of foreigners.
Love relationships come with several positive and negative aspects associated.
Persian singles falling in love and dating each other must be smart enough to deal with both types of situations easily.
Iranian Personals is an Iranian dating site that caters to Persian singles and Muslima singles seeking to meet their soul mate.We pride ourselves on helping Iranian singles find men and women who are compatible with their specific needs. We engaged a year after and it's been 6 month that we are happily married.Iranian Personals can help you find that special someone! I was so lucky to met him; he is the love of my life.I don't know what to call it, simply a magic :) The 5 Star Safety Program at Iranian Personals is our commitment to ensuring that you'll have a safe and enjoyable experience on our site.Iranian is the top Iranian dating site in the world today.Non-profit 'Free to Run', which encourages women and girls mainly from conflict areas to participate in sport and experience the outdoors, said in a Facebook post the week before that the authorities had been listening to the concerns of female runners and it appeared that women would be allowed to compete after all.

4 Tickets to Drayton Manor + 1 Saturday Night Travelodge Stay + £5 Cashback from £102.30 (£25.57pp) (other nights even cheaper ie from £91.25 for 4)
Thought this Drayton Manor one wasn't bad,you can buy 4 Tickets for £70 (can be any combination ie 4 adults, 3 adults 1 child, 2 adults 2 children etc although travelodge will only allow max 3 adults + 1 child per family room) as long as you book them 7 days in advance.
Then I looked at Travelodge Hotels within a 15 mile radius for a Sat night in Sept & found that you could book a family room for just £32.30 (with discount) at the Burton A38 Southbound for the night of 24th Sept, the hotel is approx 10 miles from Drayton Manor.
If you are not tied to a weekend, then you can find rooms even cheaper ie I checked Sunday 25th Sept & found a room at Tamworth M42 (3 miles from Drayton) for just £23.80, so £93.80 for 4 People + £5 cashback, for the night of Sunday 9th Oct the room would cost £21.75.
Worth playing around with dates to see what you can find, remember to use the go to deal link to be eligible for £5 cashback, I'll pop the link to the cheap tickets in 1st post.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - Gateway late Monday took a swing back at Hewlett-Packard, filing a patent-infringement suit against its larger rival six weeks after H-P filed a similar suit against Gateway.
In the suit, filed in federal court in San Diego, Gateway GTW alleges H-P violated six patents on technologies including keyboards requiring passwords, laptop hinges and video-display cursors. Gateway is seeking an unspecified amount of damages.
Gateway's suit comes less than two months after H-P HPQ, -1.98% sued the Poway, Calif.-based company for patent infringement involving many of the same items Gateway mentioned in its suit.
Gateway also said it lost $6 million more in its first quarter than it stated in its preliminary results in April. Gateway's loss came to almost $172 million or 51 cents a share, as opposed to a preliminary loss of almost $166 million, or 49 cents a share.

My name wouldn't be Rose-Anne if I would follow a pattern to the letter. That is why I have been searching for a twist.....
I am taking another road with the world wide rage of building houses.
Due to moving house and other things that have kept me busy during the first 2 months of this year, I felt I had to look for a different approach. And last weekend an idea grew in my head.
Instead of making a quilt with 365 little houses, I will make one with 15 houses. This is the number of houses my husband and I have lived in during the past 30 years. I will incorporate the number 30, because of our wedding anniversary in April.
Using ties for the roofs (that is why I use the pattern mirror image) and old shirts for door, window and sky.
The idea is still growing, but I want it to be a quilt to celebrate our 30 plus years together. Including fabric from the evening dress I wore to our first party together.
To be continued.......
Happy sewing,

Fast Ecommerce
If you and your company are able to develop an efficient e-commerce business model, your company will benefit massively and will have increased chances of making monetary benefits. But the road to making money through e-commerce can at times be treacherous and difficult, but here are a few pointers to ease your nerves and help you along:
To make more profit with Ecommerce the following should be done:
1. Be sensible in your decision making, and do not opt for software which are custom designed for your needs (say for instance, shopping carts specially designed for you), instead opt for general software and products which you can modify to your needs, which means that in the process you will be saving money.
2. Use your credit card for online payments, only if you have a secure gateway. Real time gateways though are more popular and secure. There are companies available that offer a secure service for payment.
3. Design your website in an attractive manner to impress first time consumers.
4. Deliver the products to your customers as quickly as possible, this will enhance your reputation and attract clients. Don't keep the customer waiting for their order.
5. Start a newsletter to keep your clients updated about product launches and other services offered by your company.
6. You could invest in affiliate marketing, which will increase traffic to your website and bring profit.
7. Apart from online advertising, also try viral methods to spread the word.
8. For greater profit, keep your inventories as low as possible.

Customer ReviewsRated 1 out of 5 by Patrick Lao from I would not recommend it to people I care about My product had factory defects, and also there is a big design flaw in the RED Footholds. When fully assembled it was out of alignment so that part of the core structure is not seated properly decreasing stability and is a concern for safety. The RED Footholds do not have the nuts already in them which is painfully difficult because once you do seat the nut then you have to hold the foothold sideways and the nut wants to fall out. You're doing all this while trying to apply pressure from the opposite sides with a nut driver tool. Also the bolts are too short and one one of mine it wouldn't even catch the thread of the nut so it wouldn't install.Date published: 2018-05-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Our Kids LOVE This Climber! *Disclosure- We were sent this item at no cost to facilitate a review on my blog, Thrifty Nifty Mommy. I was not required to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.*We LOVE this climber/slide. I have two children (ages 21 months and almost 4 years) and they both have really enjoyed it. They love all of the different climbing options and, of course, the slide. We've had hours of fun on it already and I'm sure they will be having fun on it all spring/summer long!Date published: 2014-02-27Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Excellent item Kids love it Very easy to install,... until you get to the wall climber pieces. The nuts and tiny washers are not easy to get into and remain in the indented hole while you try to thread the bolt through the plastic piece and threaded into the nut. It's almost as if the bolts need to be 1/4" longer. Also it's not mentioned in the directions that you will need a 7/16" socket and socket wrench. Other than what I have mentioned this is a great product and my Kids love it!Date published: 2016-04-16Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from A Fun Climber in a League of it's Own... As a 2014 Step2 Brand Ambassador, my family gets to test out many of the newest offerings from Step2, and the Alpine Ridge Climber & Slide was at the top of our wish list for the Spring. Problem is, Spring has been slow to arrive, so when the folks at Step2 had one of these sent to my state-of-the-art toy testing facility (our house and yard), there was still four feet of snow on the ground and I had to stash the box in the garage for several weeks, much to the dismay of my girls.But now the snow is gone, and while the temperatures aren't exactly "warm," we've got our climber set-up, and let me tell you - it's a big hit.A unique offering in this category of toys, the Alpine Ridge Climber & Slide is perfect for kids that may have outgrown some smaller models, but the size is right that it's big - but not too big for the yard. The little nooks and grips really capture the feel of those climbing walls that my little ones love, but here we have it in a safe, home-friendly version.Add in all the cool tunnels and hiding spots, and this climber/slide goes beyond just physical play, and opens up new worlds of imaginative play. Is it a Castle? A Fort? The place where the Fairies live? A Mountain Lodge? Is the slide a ramp for toy cars? The answer is simple: it's whatever imagination wants it to be.Highly-recommended.I should also note that assembly should be handled by two people.Date published: 2014-04-01

ANGUILLA–Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) on Wednesday, August 2, launched its new website. Members of the media in Anguilla were invited to ECCB's headquarters in The Valley to view the launch that was streamlined to all the countries of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) from ECCB's Headquarters in St. Kitts.
An overview of the website was given by Elizabeth Wayland, a member of the website team. She said the project for a new website started in 2016, when Governor Timothy Antoine suggested changes. The website now has a modern look, and has a discussion forum functionality where ideas can be exchanged, concerns can be submitted and questions asked.
The site also allows access to statistical data, to conduct data comparisons of the ECCB member countries, and generate graphical depictions such as charts. Coin enthusiasts can now order commemorative coins on the website. Daily rates are given for other currencies along with interest rates, news releases and public education and outreach.
At the launch, Antoine said the new website is a significant milestone in the delivery of the Bank's service to the citizens of the region, and provides a portal to the world. He said it is a powerful vehicle to connect with citizens, the media, students, and more and has a modern look and feel, and a streamlined layout. He said key legislation will be included on the site, and statistics will be upgraded monthly. He said feedback is important and comments will be welcome, as the bank aims to make improvements to the site all the time.
Following the launch, questions were asked by the media in the various countries of the ECCU. These include Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and St. Kitts and Nevis.

My wife and I had planned to make a trip to Waitsfield, Vermont to stay at the Inn at the Round Barn Farm, but the predicted weekend weather didn't call for it. I suggested that we travel up to Gloucester instead and maybe visit the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem along the way. My wife answered surprisingly, "That would be fun!"
To be clear, I do not know a lot about Georgia O'Keeffe, other than a somewhat regular familiarity with her southwestern style of art, and I certainly do not consider myself an art junkie. The Peabody Essex Museum seemed like a more culturally interesting way to spend the day rather than trekking up to Vermont's Mad River Valley in what still promised to be the dreary dead of winter and peruse the local general store (again).
We traveled north of Boston strategically planning to stop by the O'Keeffe exhibit before heading up to Gloucester for what I assumed would be the majority of the trip. I was quick to declare that I would not require the assistance of a GPS. Being the overly self-assured man, I proceeded to get lost in Salem meaning we got to see various parts of Beverly before arriving at our eventual destination.
Traffic at and around the museum alerted me to the fact that the exhibit was much busier than I had expected. I found a two-hour parking spot on the street as we approached the museum which seemed perfect as I assumed there was no way we would be spending more than two hours at the exhibit. My far more suburban minded wife always prefers the garage where, in this case, every driver east of Worcester was attempting to find a parking space.
The museum was packed, which meant that it would be harder for security to identify me as the guy who reached out to touch a sealskin coat featured at the Inuit exhibit fifteen years ago activating an alarm. Not normally a fan of large crowds, I considered myself lucky in this regard. We waited in long lines that were more reminiscent of a Beatles concert than what promised to be a display of reputable artwork. Only twelve people were allowed into the exhibit at a time, meaning I became extremely familiar with virtually all of the opinions expressed by the group of women behind us. "She was really into triangles," said one woman. "Can you remind me when she died?" said another. Their banter (which was impossible to ignore) reminded me of the old Palmolive commercials featuring Madge, who always had to delicately inform someone that their hand was submerged in a bowl of dishwashing liquid.
We expected to find a series of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings upon entering the exhibit, but instead were surprised to find exhibits featuring various articles of clothing that O'Keeffe wore. Interestingly (at least to me), I imagined an exhibit about me years from now featuring various items I have picked up off the 80 percent rack at Kohl's instead of my writing and music (Jay Gillespie - May Ave. for those who of you who are hopefully intrigued).
The exhibit continued with yearbook photos from 1905, various film segments of Georgia O'Keeffe along with her husband, Stieglitz, in Manhattan, and O'Keeffe's early 20th century paintings of New York City.
Interestingly, only the final part of the exhibit highlighted the southwestern art that I was most accustomed to with regard to Georgia O'Keeffe, her paintings created after losing her husband and relocating to New Mexico in 1949.
With an opportunity to view many of the items that characterized not only Georgia O'Keeffe's artistic contributions but also her everyday philosophy of living, the exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum uncovered an extremely complex woman who became publicly enamored for attempting to live life in a way that was anything but complex, subsequently able to recognize and harness the beauty of simplicity.
Georgia O'Keeffe recognized her legacy as the accidental product of courageously living on her own terms staying conscious of and valuing the immediate world around her. "I've always been absolutely terrified every single moment of my life, and I've never let it stop me from doing a single thing I wanted to do."
O'Keeffe did not view her success and subsequent fame as a result of luck.
"Maybe it's because I've taken hold of anything that came along as I wanted."

Is it...... Me?

I agree never settle, but always evaluate and change when needed. Again a great post, but I do hope you get back to a healthy sleep schedule soon; as I'm somewhat no good without some sleep lol. I've been waking up at 4:00 am and unable to go back to sleep these last couple of days. Some people in the church say that if God wakes you up there must be someone that needs your prayers and so I pray, then after I pray I just think and think until finally I go back to sleep or I watch Family Guy on my Ipod. But I say all this to say why do I have so much on my mind at 4:00 am and why is it mostly about an ex or 4 of them, relationships, or cheeseburgers? lol.

Jwriter thank you so much for your insightful comments! And your right perhaps I have been waking up for some reason and have started your prayer method. :)

In many ways, Paul, with those muted tones this seems more like a sunrise than a sunset; apart from the direction of light.
I wonder if cropping a bit of the sky from the first one would look better. Possibly a little 'top heavy' at the moment; I'm not sure. Perhaps a 3 x 2 ratio?
For me, the 2nd is a much stronger image than the 1st. I do like the very muted tones in the first, but I don't think the image has a clear centre point and, as a result, my eyes wander all over the place trying to work out where they should start from.

Swiss Butchery Enters The Highly Competitive CNY market And Things Look (And Taste) Good
Swiss Butchery Celebrates CNY
For the first time since its establishment, Swiss Butchery is joining in the fray for a share of the Chinese New Year market. From 8th January 2018 to 26th February 2018, Swiss Butchery introduces their Spring Festive Special Menu for expats and locals alike, we had a first taste and we were pleasantly surprised!
The Food
For a place that does not focus on Asian cuisine, I must say that they managed to encapsulate the Asian aspect for most dishes on the menu. An added bonus? All their items on the menu are extremely affordable! I'm talking about below market rate affordable! Kudos to you Swiss Butchery!
Signature Roasted Pork Belly (Approx. 1.2kg), $28.80
Definitely my favorite. Who doesn't love Sio Bak am I right? I mean, provided if it's done right of course. And of course, it's perfect at Swiss Butchery. The crackling was crispy, the fats melt in your mouth and the pork meat was tender and juicy. Just perfect. I did a double take when I saw the price too, it's soooo much value!
Braised Whole Duck With Chestnut Filling, $68
I don't know about you, but my grandma used to make braised duck porridge when I was a wee little laddie and the braised duck at Swiss Butchery tasted just like that! (Grandma's will always be the best though). It just reminded me of a simpler time and brought out a lot of positive energy while I was eating it.
Special Braised Pork Rib With Chilli, $48
If you're not a fan of sweet foods, this is probably not for you since they use a sweet chilli. Which means, the spice is extremely mild. Other than that, the meat was really tender and it's a great menu item to mix it up this CNY.
Traditional Spicy Chicken In Gelatin, $42
This was a huge surprise in all honesty. When you chew on the gelatin, it dissipates in throughout the palate spreading a slightly salty and herby aftertaste which compliments the chicken extremely well. Any more Asian and It would be a soup.
Swiss Butchery Bak Kwa (Classic/Spicy), $18.80/$19.90 per pack
Now, what's CNY without the all fattening and sinful Bak Kwa? For first timers, I felt that their Baw Kwa were pretty spot on. No one can deny how good it tastes. I particularly liked the spicy ones (they're really spicy).
Fresh European Oysters, $10 for 3 or $4.30 a piece
Imported directly from Ireland and France, their oysters are sweet, fresh and slightly leaner to their Australian counterparts. And at $10 for 3 oysters, I'll take all of them please.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
For sure! Everything tastes great and oh-so-affordable. You just got to try that Roast Pork Belly! That's not all though, Swiss Butchery has CNY cookies, Yu Sheng and Hot Pot Delights (for that steamboat dinner) available on their festive menu as well! Don't forget to get some oysters too!
Check out their full menu HERE! Remember, it's only available from the 8th of January to the 26th of February

Coach Justin Visits Le Poire Blancposted on 23 March 2008 | posted in Articles / News
After the over night Crossing with Ld Lines to Le Harve , we had a nice 3 hour drive to Mansigne
We only got lost once by taking the wrong turning on the A28 as the road signs at time was a little bit confusing along with the map not being very clear, but it was good in a way as it only put a extra 20 minutes on our journey plus we have a nice drive though all the back roads and small towns to get to our Location
I must say how nice the roads are to drive on in France, so much better then the U.K and the driving rules seem so much better to keep the traffic Clear at all times.
We was very pleased with the local town and how tidy and clear all the towns was if only this was the case in the U.K
Inside the house was faultless in every way and had everything you need to make you stay Great for you to relax and unwind
I quickly unloaded the car then had a quick look around the house
10/10 for the owners Barry and Shirley on how well equipment and clean the cottage was including great Kitchen, Bathroom and shower, 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with twin bulk bed plus there was a pull down bed in the front room which would hold a extra two people easy
Great front room and dinning room with every thing you could think of, books, dvds , cds , videos , games , air condition units plus a log fire is being fitted also.
The back Lounge has lots of seats, sun beds, and bait fridge, indoor bbq plus more games plus lots of room to keep all your fishing gear in
Outside also had flood lights fitted to the cottage if you wanted to night fish the lake which only cost 2 euros
I would strongly recommend this to everyone as it has so much to offer if you fancy a nice week or two to enjoy this great town plus of course to do a bit of fishing on the great lake
Local Town
The Local town is only 5 mins drive the road and has every thing you need to get you by for the week plus the local people are very helpful but if you take a 20 min drive into le fleece there is a lot more with bigger shops, zoo and local markets which is very good
So lots to do for your entire family if you fancy going out for a few days site seeing
Here the Website for more information
We will be returning soon for other week
The Lake and Grounds
Very well Looked after with Kids Swings and a large outdoor bbq , plus some great wild life also
Fish in the Lake
Great for all round fishing
Mirror Carp, common Carp, Tench , Bream , roach , Rudd , Perch , sunfish , Catfish plus a few others
I managed to get a few hours fishing in each day and still ended up with 400lb of fish Out
Heres a Few Pictures For you all

Sorry! I'll do my best to catch up quickly.
And so, speaking of behind. Audrey got her 1st POTTY last weekend! We went all out, and made the entire experience exciting and celebratory. Such a big day for such a big girl! When we arrived at the store and found the potty aisle, we were pleasantly surprised by the numerous and diverse options. Who knew there'd be a market for at least 30 versions of baby toilets?
And, it took our little girl, oooooohhh, about 3 seconds to pick out her favorite...
She was so happy. As if we were with the REAL Mickey Mouse at Disneyland (from a non-scary distance, of course). She would not let it go....not in the store.... not for the cashier....and certainly not in the car.
I wish there was more to say about the literal potty experience once we got home.
Audrey really just thought it was a new, pretty toy. (That also sings 'hooray' when flushed).
We brought out our potty training book she loves to much, the reason for buying the potty in the first place, and we studied....and practiced.
She was more or less focused and interested (for a 22-month-old).
But, then a good song would start playing in the other room, and she'd immediately be distracted by the NEED to DANCE!!!!
Who could blame her?
It is a
party potty after all.
We'll get there soon enough.
love, kerry

Just returned from 2012 GIS in Las Vegas. I have little idea what the weather was nor did I, who likes to gamble, place one bet. Now that the show is two days long or should I say two long days, there is little time spent outside the concrete walls of the convention center.
This was my 39th show, having missed only two since Denver in 1971. We've gone through a lot of mints in that time! I have watched both our booth and the show grow considerably during that time and while the show has shrunk, our booth has not. This really does cause us to pause and consider costs vs. benefit. However, our line has expanded and the Superintendents and Dealers deserve our best foot forward.
We were conflicted amongst our personnel this year as to the traffic and interest. To me, it seemed the numbers were a bit down though in fairness, I am required to give my whole attention to our Dealer network. I do know that in the past, the Par Aide booth was the general meeting place for the MN Superintendents in attendance and that number was down significantly and quite frankly has been for a number of years.
In general the show looked great and I think most enjoy the venue though it can be argued that it probably appeals more to those who make it a guy's or couple's trip than those who use it as a family business/vacation. Two things can be said about Las Vegas. One, it looks very different since our last stop there and two; the town has really fallen on hard times. There are some fabulous new properties to see and visit and a number of projects that have been halted in construction, some nearly complete.
The trade show did not seem to have any buzz this year which is usually created by a new and exciting product. However, don't take my word for it as I usually am the last to know. Next year it's San Diego, with the trade show Feb 6-7. The following year is Orlando and in 2015, San Antonio. Hope to see you there.

If you read my last post you'll know I recently went on a little family holiday to Scotland for the week. These kind of posts have been popular before so I thought I'd share just some of the many photos I took on holiday, I just can't put my camera down! We stayed in the south of Scotland and visited some nice little places such as a castle which the interior reminded me of one of my fave shows, Downton Abbey. We also managed to spot a hare and other bits of wildlife and lots of bright and beautiful flowers!
I hope you enjoyed this post and the photographs. Let me know in the comments or on Twitter if you've been anywhere nice lately!
