Small Pepper Smartphone Packing Dual Cameras Makes TENAA
by Feb 10, 2017 12:08 am2
If you haven't heard of the name Small Pepper before now, you'll be pardoned because sincerely, you are not alone. Small Pepper is a little known Chinese smartphone manufacturer that has got a pretty decent array of mid-range and budget smartphones in its kitty. The company is set to add another spectacular device to its lineup.
The phone recently appeared on TENAA as Small Pepper LA-A1 and it packs a dual-lens camera at the rear. Dual cameras seem to be one of the raves of the moment and Small Pepper is keying into that trend. The phone also uses an oblong shaped front home button that looks like Meizu's mBack button. At the rear, the device uses a fused antenna design that sits at the extreme edge both at the top and bottom. The speaker is located at the lower right corner at the back.
Related: Red Pepper Note 5 Announced: Meizu M5 Note Lookalike!
On the specs bench, the Small Pepper LA-A1 features a 5.5-inch HD display and is powered by a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.25GHz. The device also comes equipped with 3GB of RAM as well as 32GB of storage which is expandable. On the camera end, there is a 13MP + 5MP camera setup while at the front you get an 8MP camera. The phone packs a 2,900mAh battery and comes with full network support. On the software end, the device comes pre-installed with Alibaba's YunOS. Considering the low-level specs, the device might fall in the 1,000 Yuan category when it finally hits the market.

Life Is Full Of Meanings
Just Take Another Look
If don't like what you see
Change it
If you don't like what you do
Do something different
LIfe is all about living
If you are going to be around for fifty years or so
Why not make it a life you would die for
Make it a life others dream about
You have to start somewhere
Why not start now
You don't have to change your life completely
Just one thing at a time
It took all this time to get the way it is
Now it is going to take awhile to make things different
It all starts with an idea
Your idea
You can compain all your life
Where will it get you
Nowhere fast
Just a lot of aggrivation and headaches and less friends
Now look on the other hand
Right or left hand it doesn't matter
What do you see?
A palm with a long long life line
So lets turn this day around and do something fun
Leave that old ghost of a shell
Make a day filled with some good thoughts
Take in a movie or call up a few friends
They will always make you laugh
Well heres a toast to life and all the good you do
Don't listen to others if they don't help you feel good
What do they know
You are your own best expert
Make a day that will please you in every way
Good message here.
Luckily we do have a variety of experiences from which our life is built. All the same stuff wouldn't do it. It would be boring and monotonous, even pure unchallenged joy.
But I have a personal credo (which has been known to raise eyebrows of the more "life-is-hard" folks, because they fail to understand its meaning). It is: "If it can't be fun, why do it?" Now I admit that on first glance it looks like a hedonistic, self-gratifying philosophy. But that is not the meaning at all. What it means is similar to "when you find life gives you lemons, make lemonade". - It is not what happens to us that matters but what we make of what happens. If a person can't be happy "right here right now" - no matter what is going on around him or her - then there is no possibility of any external thing "making" him or her happy. Happiness or joy is not "found" outside oneself, it is created within oneself. If the task is dreary, sing while doing it! If it is sad, find the silver lining. We don't have to be laughing to have joy. But we have to FEEL joyous at the core of ourselves. We can cry when we are sad, be mad when we are stumped, be disgusted or tired - whatever. But at our core - we are happy and mitigate the "negatives" even while experiencing them. And we can try to make the externals more agreeable, but our happiness must not DEPEND on externals anyway.
I had a happy enough childhood, but I was fully born @ age 40. That was after a very trying 18 years which were like a baptism of fire. Not all sweetness and light, you see.
I'm happy for you, in any case. You're a great person.
Really enjoyed this. I love the way you see life.
Does this mean I"m 28 years past the mark when I can rest on my laurels? haha - @ 50 I was just beginning to fully live! It was only natural to make my days good.
Good poem and thoughts, dear DO.
You said it, brother !!!!!
this is great inspiration, a beautiful poem thanks for sharing
can you believe i am still sick. I travelled an hour on Friday to a herbalist, and was delighted to get some medication from him. I am very run down, and stressed, have had lots of trauma over the last year or so, but now i am looking after myself a bit better. Sunday i slept nearly all day.... and today i am resting.
it is working for me too, thanks for a lovely hub

This blog was always a quiet place, but lately we have had some fights, so we reserve the right to delete your comment if we find it creates a potential for a flame war. It doesn't mean that you are banned or that we are mad at you. It simply means that your comment was deleted.
Romana Challans says
Well, teach you to be popular, really;)
Kristi says
LOL. Guess you've got a few fans.
CharisN says
Its not like we have anything else to read, sorry, to do. hee hee
Rhyn Gabriel says
Sleep the sleep of the over-subscribed. 🙂
AnneB says
We will smother you with help.
Barbara says
Lol, an embarrassment of riches… At least you have plenty to choose from! Here's a bad "beta reader" pun to lighten up your day: How many beta readers does it take to change a lightbulb? Depends on how many think that "lightbulb" was grammatically correct. (Groan…) 😊
trailing wife says
*giggle* I had to read that twice, pondering: one word or two? The result of the first search, "lightbulb", yielded entirely two word results, but when I challenged it with "lightbulb vs. light bulb", I hit the jackpot: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/should-light-bulb-be-one-word-or-two/. So now I know. And I have to decide whether to invest in yest another dictionary, so it was time doubly well spent. 😉 Thank you.
Felicia says
Yes, a fellow sufferer of webstractionary (looking up a word in the Webster's dictionary and reading the words before and after the original word you for which you were seeking a definition). It's a sniglet: a word that's not in a dictionary but should be. My favorite sniglet is wagon diva: singing along at the top of your lungs (more or less) with the music playing in your car. James Corden could be considered a wagon diva–karaoke-style.
Finula Mccaul says
Resisting the urge to throw myself on the growing inferno of Beta Applicants, but please, please, I beg you, shoot anyone who think the word 'taut' has an N in it. This pernicious disease is spreading, but unless you really are tormenting your features or fabric, leave that N home where it belongs!
Tink says
That's your pet peeve? That wouldn't even make my top 10. Mainly because taut isn't a word a lot of my engineers would write. They would use the word taunt, although probably not in a written document.
Finula Mccaul says
And yes, I left the S off thinks. I am bad about proofing myself, and hate autocheck
Carol says
A lot of itchy 'red pencils' out there…
Samantha says
Maybe, and maybe just itchy horde really wanting the next book. I know I was tempted, but grammar errors aren't my pet peeve. Printhouse typos drive me nuts. When the book is being released for the third or fourth time and you come across words like "Eolward" instead of "Edward" grr bad printer, no doughnut.
Bill G says
While I would love to try being a beta reader, I did see that request was for previous beta readers.
I'll wait and keep plugging my name into later requests for new ones.
Tink says
You gave me a bad moment. I thought I was one of those who hadn't followed instructions. I still might not have, but if so, it wasn't for that reason. The text said previous beta readers would be given preference, not that it was only open to previous betas.
That said, if there are 300+ responses, then I could definitely see narrowing down the list just by picking out the previous betas. Bummer.
Gail says
Shh! Be vewwy quiet! We're hunting Oxford commas.
Chris T says
Tink says
That would be Oxfowd commas.
Felicia says
Karen the Griffmom says
Ow, ow, ow – I hurt from sniggering so hard.
Samantha says
Jen Temple says
LOL!! Too bad I can't proofread. Could have been fun!!
BB says
Shall we talk about rein/reign/rain? If we are exchanging increasingly persistent irritations
Tink says
Manger/Manager (at least that one you can fix by find-and-replace, since we don't work with mangers here 😉
Which when it should be that (for some reason, engineers love using "which")
Felicia says
Sometimes managers belong in a manger by virtue of boorish behavior. 😛
Barbara says
I have a giggle when I come across seized/sized – I always wonder if the leading lady will get a gift of lingerie if "he sized her with his piercing gaze"…
Charis N. says
Only if this too/to/two solid flesh is in danger of melting! 😉
Tink says
Oh, how could I forget to/too/two?
kitkat9000 says
How about "zinc" instead of "sink"?
"Liberry" instead of "library"?
"Pixture" instead of "picture"?
"Dundack" instead of "Dundalk"?
"Bawlmore" instead of "Baltimore"?
"Stripper" street instead of "Streeper" street, which, granted, isn't that bad… but all of this happened just in my family alone in addition to being surrounded by it. And these are the ones that most immediately came to mind. Gods help me, there are more. So many more but it's hurting me to type this.
I am a lifelong viewer of PBS/BBC produced drama programs liberally populated with RADA trained actors. I sound nothing like my family or neighbors and never have. I am somewhat OCD and a grammar Nazi to boot.
Now imagine my pain.
neurondoc says
Bawlmer, not Bawlmore… 😉
kitkat9000 says
Bawlmer, Bawlmore, whatever.
Since I say it the way it's supposed to be said I wasn't sure how to misspell it. Thank you for the heads up.
Ista says
Weary/wary. I'm so tired of that nonsense. This week's glaring error in what I assume wasn't an edited novel was "faucet of her personality". I stopped reading & asked myself if she turned her feelings off/on so easily
Monica S. says
Auch. Sorry. I'm also one of the people who contributed with an email to that huge avalanche, knowing full well how huge the number will be. But you are one of the epic Author Overlords, so it was to be expected :))
Jess says
Apparently there's a great deal of crossover between grammar enthusiasts and Ilona Andrews fans!
Lisa says
Better than hearing crickets.
Dave_5k says
LOL! Most authors on Amazon are lucky to get 300 reviewers, Ilona gets 300+ proofreaders 🙂
Samantha says
Diana says
Good Luck on picking the ones you need.
Jennifer says
Then everyone here must love Weird Al Yankovic's 'Word Crimes'.
ladyreadsalot says
Abso fricking lutely!! . My whole family likes Weird Al but this is one of my favourites . I am Canadian so this is correct for me before any red pencils come out!!
Kimmelane says
Oh, yeah. "Word Crimes" rocks! Absolutely slays me. A lot of the folks I work with need to get a big dictionary.
Natalie says
It is 10:43 AM here in Texas, do you think they are awake yet?
P.S.: my phone is so bad now that I don't always bother fixing the mistakes. Unless it writes total gibberish. Love that word gibberish.
Tink says
I went with gibberish because my first choice was gobblygook and according to spellcheck it's supposed to be gobbledygook, which is not how I say it.
On a similar note, we always said "kitty-corner" but apparently the original phrase was "catty-corner" or something like that. Funny how you always learned a phrase one way only to discover that at some point in time it was mispronounced to the point where the new pronunciation because the word you know it as.
So do you guys say kitty-corner or catty-corner?
Tink says
new pronunciation *becomes the word…
Dave_5k says
I'd still write it as cater-cornered, spoken as caddy-cornered or catty-cornered. (or more like "kat E-konah" as R's aren't pronounced much anymore in American English.
But apparently this word is another regional thing.
Samantha says
Yup, ova dere.
Felicia says
My mother pronounced the word "creek" as "crick" which I noticed as something someone from the East Coast would say as opposed to someone from the West Coast.
Charis N. says
My mother cannot say the "w" in "yellow". I grew up thinking it was "yeller"
Patricia Schlorke says
I heard "crick" for creek a lot in southern Missouri. I also heard "wursh" for wash and "ol" (pronounced o l) for oil. Regional dialects can be funny.
Karen the Griffmom says
Kitty-corner. Cattywumpus.
Colleen Whitley says
My dad said "Caddywampus". These comments have been fun to read. I always get practise and practice mixed up amoung some other spellings and pronounciations. If you want to be unsure of a word try being Canadian, living overseas in a metric country but educated in an American educational system to age 13, switching to a British school for 2 years only to come back to Canada just in time for high school.
kelticat says
Whosiwhat, thingamajob, caddywhompus, powwow. A phrase that my mom used whenever she blanked on the name of an object.
Barbara says
Can someone please enlighten me as to what a "caddywhompus" is?
Kimmelane says
I spell it cater-corner and pronounce it "kitty-corner," which is a southern dialect way to say it.
Tink says
I'm from Michigan and we said kitty-corner.
Patience says
I'm surprised it wasn't over 1K. I was tempted (I'm a medical transcription), but chickened out.
Jocelyn says
Well, that's what you get for being so approachable :-). I considered applying again, but it doesn't work with our schedule these two weeks, sadly. Happy sorting!
Mimi says
Perhaps you could have them challenge one another, as the Pack Betas might. Something like Strunk and White at 50 paces…
FCina says
Thank you for the belly laugh. My roommate sniggered.
Amanda says
OMG that is an AWESOME idea! However, I think someone would end up swinging a sword to end the fight!
Tylikcat says
I'm kind of jealous. I suck at copy editing, and have a bunch of articles to write, so self-knowledge says: no.
Karen the Griffmom says
I love copy editing – it's so calming, unlike trying to to explain to an eighteen-year-old that BELIEF and FACT aren't the same thing! (Deep breaths, focus " You're retired, you're retired . . .")
Tylikcat says
Style and usage I can do. Teaching undergraduates to write for a serious scientific audience I can do*. Crafting figures that will explain complicated ideas, and visual display of quantitative data, oh, yeah.
Spelling? Aiee… It's not too bad when I'm fresh, but when I get tired I just can't tell. (Technically, I have a minor form of dyslexia, which is very well compensated for. I never took it seriously until I realized that yeah, in some ways reading Chinese was actually oddly easier on me…)
Booklover says
I did proofreading – someones thesis- once and got paid for that, but it wasn't an English text. My active English skills are non-existent. Otherwise I'd been tempted to apply. Darn, I nearly applied just to read it in advance.
So I totally understand why there are so many wanna-be betas.
Jolie vines says
This doesn't surprise me one bit. I think the series is going to be huge!
Quick question to Ilona – a couple of weeks ago you asked if people would be interested in special printed hardbacks of the Innkeeper series. I obviously raved about it because my husband asked me today where he could source it, as he wants to buy it for me for Christmas. Did the conversation with this specialist publisher go anywhere near publishing dates? 🙂
Kimmelane says
Yes, I was curious about that also. Want one!
Samantha says
I know it's sick to laugh at other peoples pain, but I can't seem to stop. You are hilarious!
"I am going to bed!"
Z's Wife says
I submitted mine at 2:00 am this morning …. I hope Ilona and Gordon don't give up.
Bless their hearts 😉
Mary says
You can thank me for not sending my request to provide my services. Being a beta reader, preferably of a good writer is on my bucket list.
Romana Challans says
I can't help it. Bad grammar and typos make my teeth itch, to use a quote. Academics have to be rigorous. It's what makes us academics. Another word is nitpicker;)
And yes nitpicker is two words but now accepted in common parlance.
I really need more tea this morning, I am arguing with myself!
Booklover says
Well at least you know yourself so you hit the right points. Arguing with someone else is too much without a cuppa before talking.
merrykats says
omygawd! ROTFL! This is one of the funniest thread ever! Thanks beta and would be beta readers 😀
neurondoc says
Eeny, meeny, miney, moe…
Tink says
…catch a beta by her toe
Charis N says
If she hollers, let her goe …
Charis N says
I know, I no
Tink says
Diana says
Romana Challans says
I love coming here. It's been fun to lurk, even more fun to post back!
AnneB says
Have all the slots been filled?
Ilona says
Do you want in?
Amanda says
I'm only surprised that there weren't more responses, actually! You are best-selling authors with a loyal following. I read comments on the post of those who would have liked to apply but couldn't due to time constraints. You know, the next step is paparazzi!
sandra says
It's voter fraud!!!!!! Those are illegal emails. There might even be some hanging chads!!!!!
Jolie says
I'm wondering now if you wanted the home address upfront? I'm dumb. I didn't supply that because I assumed you'd ask for it later. Looks like I can't follow directions. Sad face

India, US shielded Bangla paramilitary
India might have colluded with the US in shielding a Bangladeshi paramilitary force despite its patchy record of human rights abuses and torture, indicates a leaked state department cable released on Tuesday.world Updated: Dec 22, 2010 23:04 IST
India might have colluded with the US in shielding a Bangladeshi paramilitary force despite its patchy record of human rights abuses and torture, indicates a leaked state department cable released on Tuesday.
"(Indian high commissioner) Pinak (Ranjan Chakravarty) also agreed when the Ambassador (James F Moriarty) argued the Hasina government should not disband the Rapid Action Battalion," said the cable sent by the US embassy in Dhaka.
RAB as the Battalion is known was being trained by the UK and encouraged by the USA to one day become the Bangladeshi version of the FBI had several human rights issues, which was confirmed by the US in other cables. The US said it was working with the force to take care of this problem.
This cable was sent in January 2009, just a month after the election of the Awami League into power making Sheikh Hasina prime minister of the country for the second time.
The new government, the US embassy cable said, might be opposed to the RAB as it was formed by the previous Bangladesh National Party government of Khaleda Zia, a bitter rival of Sheikh Hasina.
The new prime minister had excellent relations with India, and the US might have tried to leverage this to keep the RAB going, while also reforming the elite force from inside – the cables show the US had plans.
That India had excellent relations with Hasina was not hidden from the Americans.
The cable notes that in his conversation with US ambassador Moriarty, Indian high commissioner Chakravarty "expressed pleasure" at the landslide victory of Sheikh Hasina's Awami League in the elections.
The embassy notes in the cable that with the Hasina as prime minister the two countries will step up cooperation in the fight against terrorism. India earlier accused Bangladesh of not doing enough.
Bangladesh has long been home to leaders of the terrorist group ULFA and Harkat ul Jihad Islami-Bangladesh, which has been used by Pakistan-based terror groups to infiltrate terrorists into India.

October 1965. So many friends of mine from Europe had moved to New York, further reminding me that New York in the 1960s was the place to be! Ground Zero Central. BINGO!
While San Francisco had the Summer of Love in 1967, the streets of New York were festivals all the time!
Harrison Cultra, a young designer I'd known as a playboy driving around Paris in his light blue Austin Healey sports car with his Arizona license plates from his days as a student at Arizona State, arrived with his companion/partner, Dick, and was working at the glamorous Rose Cumming showroom on Park Avenue.
|Harrison started his own business as a decorator with Georgina Fairholme, and one of his clients was Jacqueline Onassis. He later purchased and restored Teviotdale, the historic home of Robert Fulton in Germantown on the Hudson River.
|And Buddy Felio had also left Paris and became the unlikely manager of Hamburger Heaven!
|It was always fun to drop in and visit and watch Buddy being a charming and capable business person, such a far cry from his ever-present boulevardier persona in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. There he was frequently thought to be a reincarnation of Oscar Wilde. Or someone.
|He carried his considerable weight very impressively. One night, while dining with him at the Brasserie Lipp in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, he ordered two servings of everything and the waiter prepared to leave until I piped up saying, "And I'll have ..."
|Buddy knew everyone and people he didn't know certainly knew of him as he was hard to miss!
|He'd grown up in India and was an expert on all the rituals of Indian cooking and dining.
He'd introduced me to Harrison.
Someone I'd also met in Paris through him was another American, Charles Buffum, and with Charles, his consort, Louise Deutchman (LouLou) who seemed to always be longing for some sort of commitment from Charles, a commitment that, as far as I know, never came.
|Charles frequently spoke of his "Aunt Buff" and much later I learned that she was Dorothy (Buffum) Chandler (Mrs. Norman Chandler) of the family owning The Los Angeles Times and the woman responsible for the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at the Los Angeles Music Center.
|The last I'd heard of Charles was that he'd been pursued by the police down Fifth Avenue after bathing seminude in the fountain of the Steuben Building. I don't know if it was true (and I hope it wasn't), but again I don't think Louise ever had her wish fulfilled!
So Buddy was now affiliated with Hamburger Heaven and commissioned me to come and do drawings, which for years were hanging in the restaurant.
Bud also introduced me to Roberta (Bobby) Waddell whose husband Richard owned The Waddell Gallery on the Upper East Side, a gallery that focused on known contemporary artists.
|Bobby became a good friend and there were many fun nights meeting new people, talking long into the night and frequently ending up at the new hot discotheque, Arthur, owned by the recently divorced Sybil, ex-Mrs. Richard Burton and her new young husband, Jordan Christopher.
|The gang at Bud's on a busy night in January, 1966 ...
|Much wine was consumed at Bud's over the course of the evening, but into the night at Arthur ... we danced it away!

Nintendo Has a Lot of Work to Do if They Want to Take This Year
Great start, but a long way to go.
2017 has already been an extraordinary year in gaming. In the first quarter of this year alone, the phrase "game of the year" has already been thrown around about a handful of games and it doesn't seem like the stride is going to let up. It has also been one of the strongest years in recent history for Nintendo and with the company's blazing comeback, it definitely seems likely that they could snatch this year right up. But they're going to have to work for it.
To really delve into Nintendo's chances, we have to address the elephant in the room. The Switch released into a market that was fairly divided on whether or not it would succeed and managed to exceed many of its expectations. It's hard to deny the innovative hardware's place in the industry with its modular design and overall versatility. This isn't to say the Switch doesn't suffer from shortcomings. It's lack of various media apps sets the device behind its competitors as a multimedia device, the friend code-system is clunky and outdated, and I can't help but feel I'll scratch the screen every time I dock and undock the machine. However, despite all this, the Switch's very successful launch was just what Nintendo needed to jump start their year the right way.
At the end of the day, though, a well-made console means very little if there aren't games to play on it. This is where Nintendo is really biting the bullet. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was, by almost every account, an absolutely phenomenal game. It invigorated a previously monotonous series by introducing a fresh style to the adventure and arguably darker thematic tones. However, one game doesn't bring home the win of a year any longer. That just isn't the gaming landscape we live in anymore. And unfortunately, Breath of the Wild was really the only solid launch game the Switch had. Sure Super Bomberman R was fun and I Am Setsuna is a great RPG, but when compared with the lineup from Sony and the PS4, they just don't compete with games like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata, Persona 5, or Resident Evil 7.
It's no surprise that Nintendo games tend to hold more weight with the gaming populace than other games and there are some exciting things to expect from Nintendo later this year. Splatoon 2 has been looking pretty great with all the improvements over the original and Super Mario Odyssey has the makings of another Super Mario 64. The question still remains however, will that be enough? And yes, while we have games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to look forward to, these are older games that many have already played before. Skyrim will be a great test of the system's hardware, but ultimately it isn't anything new and certainly isn't something to get overly excited about. The Switch's innate lack of third-party support really isn't doing Nintendo any favors here. Especially with the year seeing the release of some large-scale titles like Mass Effect: Andromeda and Destiny 2.
No matter the pessimistic view one might have, Nintendo does have a serious shot here. There is still plenty of time in the year for important updates to the Switch and the announcement of more title releases this year. If Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey continue the quality set by Breath of the Wild, then three games could likely be enough for Nintendo to take it all. Not to mention the slightly smaller releases like Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 having the potential to be total powerhouses. Nintendo's strength is almost always shown toward the holiday season, so to have this good of an opening for the year is definitely setting them on the right track.
Nintendo has done a very noteworthy job keeping their focus on innovation and this time around it actually seems to be working. But it'll be incredibly important in the coming months that they remember innovation needs a strong foundation to build from. To their credit, the company does seems to be learning from their mistakes with the Wii and Wii U. But with Sony snowballing out of control with a strong line-up and ever-growing VR support, Nintendo definitely has their work cut out for them.
What do you think Nintendo's chances are of taking 2017? Leave a comment and let us know!

On my desk this evening is a lot that needs to be picked up. The new October Afternoon that came in a few days ago. My Thickers and easel from my shopping trip on Monday. And a new mixed media art journal and art journaling book. I know with the light it is hard to see, but the first page has been stencil with modeling paste through a heart stencil that I created on my Silhouette. I am hoping to add some color to it today. This will be my first attempt at an art journal and it is part of my trying new things attitude.
And finally, the layout that I finished tonight. I used the starting points from Shimelle's challenge last week.
Thanks for visiting today! Hope you are having a great week!

It was during the Industrial Revolution that the Victorian jeweller was able to tool up for mass production. Machines formerly powered by hand or water were turning over to steam and gas and the pace and scope of jewellery production was vastly increased.
A cameo is an engraved gem with the designs carved from stones with different coloured layers so they project from the surface.
This Cameo Ring is made from lead-free pewter and comes with a cameo depicting a lady's head. The ring is supplied on an information card that is full colour on the front and has historical information on the reverse.

Amazing view from condo and in a great location! We could walk to restaurants, grab a coffee, walk the beach, perfect for a much needed get-away. Laura was very responsive and addressed any questions or concerns we had. Will definitely go back!
We enjoyed our stay over the holidays! The communication with the owners was phenomenal. The beds are comfortable. And the view is truly impeccable. Also, although it is not designated as 'handicap accessible', if you are able to get in and out of a wheelchair, this building and unit were quite accessible. A grab bar on the front and side of the shower stall (there is no tub) would be a great addition. Easy access to and from the parking space and in and out of the building. Plus, beach wheelchairs just down the boardwalk at the lifeguard station. The reason for 4 stars are: There is not a balcony. It is a ledge with a railing & clearly marked to stay off of it. The pool is not in the building, it is a short walk halfway down the block. The shower is tight if you are tall, plus no bathtub. And even though the unit was tidy, I think it could use a good deep cleaning. However, overall, happy with our stay.

I ladies, I need your advise on which hospital you'd recommend as I went to the coombe on my last pregnant and have an awful experience and I'm scared to go there again in case I experience the same treatment.Has anyone gone to holles street? And if so and feedback would be great please to help me decide
I had a very bad experience in the Coombe on my first then again with a mc so changed to holles st. I had another mc there and my last son was born there. All round I found holles st to be amazing. I couldn't fault anything. I also live much closer to the coombe but wouldn't go back
I think you'll hear good and bad stories about both. I think I'd go with whichever is the most convenient for you - easiest to get to for appointments and also in an emergency
It's strange how our experiences are so different. I was scanned at every appointment in Holles Street and hardly at all in the Coombe.I have heard good things of the new birthing rooms in the Coombe.
I havent delivered in Holles street myself, but stories from friends didnt paint the place in a good light at all. They also sounded a bit scabby on the scans. I was scanned literally every time I went to the coombe. The relatively new delivery suites in the coombe are fab too. I'm exactly the same distance between the 2 hospitals and my GP advised me to go to the coombe and I was very happy with my decision in the end
My first was born in the Coombe and It wasn't a good experience. Went semi-private and saw the consultant once in total. Had a planned C-section because baby was breech. Surgery by SHO wasn't perfect and follow up was non existent. Staff were really unhelpful with breastfeeding except for one nurse without whom I doubt I would've succeeded. There was no control over visiting hours or numbers. My husband was working and I was alone most days whilst other Mum's on the ward were practically having parties. I was so upset and no one seemed to care staff or patients. I discharged myself a day early and couldn't wait to get out.Now I have friends who have had good experiences in the Coombe, but Personally I'd be traumatised to go back.My second was born in Holles St and that's where I'm headed this time. Wasn't perfect, the building has it's faults being so old, but I thought the standard of care was really good.
Hi girls,Just wanted to say I've had very postive experiences in Holles street. Two miscarriages, one 10 and one at 13 weeks, both times handled very well, and say leading up to the MC's I was seen a few times each time as I was having problems and found that they were exptremely helpful and obliging. I had the experience of a first clinic appointment there at 8 weeks on my last one and boy was it and eye opener!! Hence this time, all going well we are going private. I had an induction and stayed over night at 13weeks and I had two nurses who fused over me the whole day during it, I couldn't say a bad word about any of it. Sure you meet the odd insensitive staff member or someone who doesn't know what they are talking about but overall it was very positive. This time I had sharp pain and was met by a CNM and she spent 45mins with us, doing scan etc and explained everything, couldn't have gotten better treatment. Patients can be very insensitive too... was in the ER recently and obviously anyone in there at night is in trouble, there was a girl opposite me who couldn't stand up with the pain and then this guy waltzes by with his one day old over his shoulder trying to soothe her.. (lovely for him) but he kept walking up and down the ER and everyone inside wanted to kill him!! How completely inconsiderate of him, as we knew our news may not be good. I like the fact that Holles street is the NMH too, kind of puts my mind at ease. Hope this helps.
Hi Poppy,
I went to holles st for last pregnancy (a miscarriage), and found it an awful experience. The receptionists were rude and even one of the cleaners was rude to me, and it was such a difficult time, didn't need that! I can't really complain about the medical staff who did their best under busy conditions, but overall it wasn't great. Would you consider the rotunda? Had a very positive experience there so far.

Today, not only do I have a fabulous designer for you but she is also a very dear friend who is the one that encouraged me to have a blog!!! I would like to introduce Kari of Purple Funtastick Creations. Now, without further hesitation, here's Kari -
Here is my card:
I love the printed paper gave me many color choices to play with and not just pink! :)
While I was fooling around with this it made me think how you have to wait sometimes at hospital and doctor visits. And I usually have my bible or book with me to kill time when I know I am going to be awhile myself. So I thought how about a bookmarker!!
This bookmarker was made with a paint chip in pink and red samples...hehe...I get these free from friends who work in the paint business and I don't promote taking them without permission.
Bookmarker Recipe:
This is not a great pic but you get the idea...I mostly embellished with an I-rock tool I got from my dear friend Susan Bermudez she gave me for my birthday....and I used the stickers (from the Karen Foster kit) for HOPE and then embellished with gems and flowers and fiber ribbons...so pretty!
Hope this inspired you today to think of those who needs encouragement and love! thanks for stopping by and be bless! :)
Thank you dear friend for letting me be a guest on your blog and don't forget to give the bloggy love friends! :)
Thank you Kari for such great projects!!!! I love how you use the paint chips for bookmarks!!! What a great idea!!
Please stop by Just Yolie, Just Create for further Links to Pink and an opportunity to link your own projects.
Well, thanks for stopping by today and please feel free to comment and give Bloggie Love to Kari for the funtastick job she did!!!

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION, W.Va. - Police officer Ronald Fletcher has been mixing with Jefferson High School students for less than two weeks and some of them already are confiding in him about personal issues.
Fletcher, the first prevention resource officer to work at Jefferson High in about eight years, said some students have been talking to him freely about problems they are having at home and similar issues.
"They'll talk to me before they talk to anyone else," Fletcher said Tuesday in an interview at the school.
Fletcher, a corporal with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, is stationed at the school to prevent problems such as skipping and ensure the safety of kids going to school there.
School prevention officers are commonplace in schools in metropolitan areas and Fletcher's position is being funded through $28,000 in state funds and about $22,000 from Jefferson County Schools.

Detailed Description
Simply spray your attacker in the face for 1/2 to 1 second. The attacker will be incapacitated for up to 45 minutes.

Hard work wins hockey games, and the rewards come no better than a four-point weekend.
They're even sweeter coming on the back of a couple of losses.
After a solid win over Dundee, Flyers headed across the Forth on Challenge Cup duty and were well worth their 3-2 overtime winners against old rivals Edinburgh Capitals.
They probably should have knocked it off in regulation time, but Paddy Cullen's sweetly struck winner 3:35 into sudden death was worth the wait.
Caps argued furiously the nets had come before the puck struck the net, but his one-timer from wide on the right on the powerplay was no more than Flyers deserved.
They were defensively strong, winning many, many pucks in their own zone, and created some excellent chances throughout this hockey game.
David Brown was rock solid between the pipes, making clean catches and standing tall under pressure. He was worth the MoM award, although there were a host of candidates - Kyle Haines was immense in defence, Danny Stewart motored all night long, Stephen Gunn sparkled in the third and then second lines as Todd Dutiaume reshuffled his bench followed the early ejection of TJ Caig on a match for boarding Taylor Dickin, while Michael Dorr's work rate mirrored the ethos that ran the length of the bench.
The penalty killing was top drawer all night long as Flyers specialist team went on the offensive at every opportunity as they closed Caps down and threw a ring of steel around their zone.
Flyers looked solid throughout the opening period, although they went in 1-0 down after Ryan Hayes scrambled home a rebounding puck at 4:47.
Less than two minutes later Flyers saw first line forward TJ Caig thrown out on a match penalty for boarding Taylor Dickin who left the ice with a cloth covering his jaw, but returned to play the next shift and the remainder of the game.
That forced a juggling act with Michael Dorr moving into the first line, Stephen Gunn into the second, and Allan Anderson jumping into the third.
The changes were all quickly absorbed and it took Fife just 36 seconds into the second period to tie the game with slick movement and great execution - Haines moving the puck out of the zone, Ryan Dingle heading goalward and teeing up Jeff Lee for the shot which flicked off Carson Chubak's stick and into the net; one the goalie will probably want back.
Quick puck movement delivered their second goal in 34 minutes, this time Gunn working hard to get it out of the zone, Cullen taking up the move and Stewart applying the final touch.
Flyers carved out half a dozen chances which could easily have delivered a decisive third, but they looked comfortable closing the game out at 2-1.
Indeed they had all but achieved their task with the third period all but done when Haines took a needless cross checking minor at 56:11 which allowed Riley Emmerson to net an equaliser and take this match into overtime with a point apiece to the teams.
The breakthrough came courtesy of the specialist team after Dorr's great movement drew a tripping call out of Nate Fleming at 62:28.
Once again they set up the chance, and when Cullen wound up for a one-time strike from wide on the right, there was only going to be one outcome as the puck flew into then net. Caps' appeal that the nets were off first found no favour with ref Steve Brown.
Todd Dutiaume confirmed forward TJ Caig will face a DOPS review following his match penalty.
The Department of Player Safety automatically checks footage of any match penalty and has the power to increase the automatic one-game ban.
''It'll be reviewed, and we will make sure we put our case to them,'' he said.
A four-point weekend was welcomed by the coaching staff.
''After a couple of losses it was important to get back with a couple of wins,'' said Dutiaume. ''We let a point slip to Caps tonight, but we took four points and that gives us confidence.
''Our penalty kill was great tonight - a five on three for a full two minutes - and we had some great, solid performances out there. The guys are playing the systems well, moving the puck quickly, and, for me, one of the biggest things is our speed out of our zone. That's really down to our conditioning and work-rate.''

Watford, England, sits at the end of a spur on the London tube's Metropolitan line, a somewhat dreary city of some 80,000 rising amid the pleasant green Hertfordshire countryside. Although not utterly destitute like parts of south or east London, its shabby High Street reflects a now-diminished British dream of class mobility. It also stands as a potential warning to the U.S., where working-class, blue-collar white Americans have been among the biggest losers in the country's deep, persistent recession. read more »
The Future Of America's Working Class
An American History Post 2010: The Great Deconstruction
There is a great battle brewing – the proverbial paradox of the immovable object versus an irresistible force. The battle lines are drawn. On one side is the Greatest Generation, Americans over 60, middle class and mostly white. Mainstream media calls them The Tea Party and worse.
On the other side is President Barack Obama and a younger generation of progressive Democrats who see the need for an ever more expansive government. The battlefield is spending and debt. read more »
The Hong Kong Model for National Identity Cards
"May I see some identification, please?" asked a retail clerk in my home town Seattle taking my check. I said certainly and handed the sales woman my Hong Kong identity card. She looked at it blankly for a moment then said, "Can I see some other kind of identification?"
Sometimes when I'm feeling cranky or mischievous, I hand over my Hong Kong ID card when I need to produce some kind of identification. Why not? It is a perfectly valid document. It has my photograph on it. I know of no law that specifies that my state driver's license has become a national ID card. At least not yet. read more »

Twenty-first Century Electorate's Heart is in the Suburbs
Even as the nation conducts its critically important decennial census, a demographic picture of the rapidly changing population of the United States is emerging. It underlines how suburban living has become the dominant experience for all key groups in America's 21st Century Electorate.
While suburban living was once seen as the almost exclusive preserve of the white upper-middle class, a majority of all major American racial and ethnic groups now live in suburbia, according to the newest report on the state of metropolitan America from the Brookings Institute. read more »
The Broken Ladder: The Threat to Upward Mobility in the Global City
Since the beginnings of civilization, cities have been the crucibles of progress both for societies and individuals. A great city, wrote Rene Descartes in the 17th Century, represented "an inventory of the possible", a place where people could create their own futures and lift up their families.
In the 21st Century – the first in which the majority of people will live in cities – this unique link between urbanism and upward mobility will become ever more critical. Cities have become much larger. In 1900 London was the world's largest urban center with seven million people. Today there are three dozen cities with larger populations. read more »
Santa Fe-ing of the World, Bridging the Digital Divide
This is the second of a two-part piece. Read part one.
If we accept that many rich people are going to find attractive this scenario of dramatically different settlement patterns that feature new aggregation – widely dispersed – the question then becomes whether information technology will ever become a global influence on the built environment, shaping the way the middle class and even the working class live, the way railroads, jets, and automobiles did. read more »
Santa Fe-ing of the World
This is part one of a two-part piece. Read Part two.
Human settlements are always shaped by whatever is the state of the art transportation device of the time. Shoe-leather and donkeys enabled the Jerusalem known by Jesus. Sixteen centuries later, when critical transportation has become horse-drawn wagons and ocean-going sail, you get places like Boston. Railroads yield Chicago – both the area around the "L" (intraurban rail) and the area that processed wealth from the hinterlands (the stockyards). The automobile results in places with multiple urban cores like Los Angeles. The jet passenger plane allows more places with such "edge cities" to rise in such hitherto inconvenient locations as Dallas, Houston, Seattle and Atlanta and now Sydney, Lagos, Cairo, Bangkok, Djakarta, and Kuala Lumpur. read more »
Immigration Is U.S.
You can sing about sea to shining sea or amber waves of grain, but it's immigration that provides America's basic rhythm. Nothing distinguishes the American experience from that of other nations more than the mass migration of people from elsewhere to here. We are truly a nation of immigrants: Close to 90% of the population--excluding Native Americans and those who were forced here in shackles--moved here out of their own volition. read more »
Houston: Model City
Do cities have a future? Pessimists point to industrial-era holdovers like Detroit and Cleveland. Urban boosters point to dense, expensive cities like New York, Boston and San Francisco. Yet if you want to see successful 21st-century urbanism, hop on down to Houston and the Lone Star State.
You won't be alone: Last year Houston added 141,000 residents, more than any region in the U.S. save the city's similarly sprawling rival, Dallas-Fort Worth. Over the past decade Houston's population has grown by 24%--five times the rate of San Francisco, Boston and New York. In that time it has attracted 244,000 new residents from other parts of the U.S., while older cities experienced high rates of out-migration. read more »

Most financial press opinions can be dismissed out of hand. They don't know what they are talking about, they don't know your plan, and they are far to sensationalist to be of any real value to ordinary people.
This is NOT the case with Jeremy Grantham. He is one of the adults in the room and he is offering us an early warning of a "melt-up." And, at least for the moment, no one seems to be listening.
If he is right and we do experience a "melt-up" or what I have heard expressed as a "Blow Off Top…" be very careful about being "THAT" client.
Investors don't like to lose money, but when we lose money we tell ourselves a story that it's OK… because everyone lost money.
What we really hate, more than anything else, is hearing about our sister's friend whose investments were up 35% when ours are up merely 18%. We take THAT difference personally and we believe it suggests a flaw in our thinking. We confuse lagging outcome with poor process. We missed something that she obviously saw. We feel stupid. We… covet.
But markets are still unfolding.
The interesting thing about bubbles is that there is very often a melt UP before a pop. And that melt up feels like and is reported as a "new paradigm." The Financial Press will parade everyone with big returns in front of the camera and they will, every one of them, tell us how they uniquely perceived the opportunity that the rest of us missed.
Of course, that isn't the whole truth because… markets are still unfolding. When the bubble pops and their portfolios are down (because their risk dial was always turned to HIGH), we won't hear from them again… there will be no mea culpas.
We who are disciplined diversifiers will ignore them as the greater fools they are. But our clients are watching. And, this is THE moment when intelligent, well-meaning clients are prone to abandon their comprehensive financial plans and their disciplined investment process to chase the dream of returns being had away.
This is also THE moment when a behavioral advisor is the most important and can do the most good in their client's lives by helping them stick to the process.

In Uganda, the 'core' of the Health system is the Community Health Promoters (CHPs) programme. CHPs are trained to Levels 1, 2 and 3 - each of which is nationally-approved, bearing increased responsibility and having enhanced qualifications and authority to administer advice, treatment and drugs. Level 3 Promoters provide a bridge between a Clinic and the Level 2 CHPs, working in both the Clinic and the community, while the other two levels are entirely community-based, delivering their services and advice in the homes of the population.
CHPs at Levels 2 and 3 cannot be trained ab initio; they need to progress from Level 1 to Level 2 and thence to Level 3. A period of at least 12 months needs to elapse between one level of training and the next, during which the CHP must be engaged in the community and must undergo Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Each Level's training course is circa 9 months long, featuring periods of classroom training followed by periods of training consolidation in the Community.In 2016 Evergreen held the first CHP Level 1 Course ever to be held in the Budwale area. 70 trainees embarked on the course and a very creditable 64 CHPs graduated. In the final few months of 2016, these CHPs commenced work in the community, advising on basic health and hygiene. They provide their community with effective and practical methods to counteract malnutrition and they are able to recognise, give first-aid for, and refer malaria, water-borne diseases and other major conditions. Level 1 CHPs also guide on the implementation of a clean water chain and advise on sexual health matters and alcohol/substance abuse. The average family in Uganda has six children, and these qualified CHPs are encouraged to share their knowledge with their extended family and immediate neighbours. Even assuming an average of just ten households (a very low estimate) for each CHP to share with would mean an approximate positive impact on six hundred and forty households, roughly 5000 people!
Our Trustees have dictated that absolutely no less than 90%, and ideally no less than 92%, of funds must be spent on our charitable projects

I'm Sorry That Happened to You
My Grandma Jeanne turned ninety this Spring. I didn't think I could manage the mid-semester trip but my mom made it clear that the only cousin not coming was having a baby, something I was not willing to do. So we went. And I am so glad we did. The family all met in the redwood grove where we had mixed my grandpa's ashes into the soil some 24 years ago. The grove, a favorite picnicking spot before his unexpected death, has become sacred. My sister chose to spend her sixteenth birthday there. That day my grandma shared some of her toasting cider with the soil and laughed from her belly, a hard-earned moment of joy, eight years into widowhood.
Grandma Jeanne lives with my parent's, has Alzheimer's, has to be reminded every night that there is a bed for her. At some point she announced that she wanted a family reunion so it was arranged, bringing four extended families from four different states together to celebrate her ninety years. When we got to the grove, Grandma Jeanne asked from the backseat, "Why are we here?"
Its hard to know, at any moment, what she knows. Sometimes she cries with frustration about wanting to go home. Sometimes that home is in Iowa. Sometimes she means she wants to go to heaven. Sometimes she packs a bag and walks out the door without a plan or jacket. But in the grove she seemed satisfied. Quiet. Peaceful. Full. Even if she did not know our names, she seemed happy to be with us.
My aunt gathered everyone around and said a few words of honor. When she acknowledged that my grandma had been abandoned by her parents before she could tie her shoes, living with aunts, grandparents and friends until she was married, my grandma tipped her chin up, closed her eyes and let a little tear roll down her cheek.
My aunt praised her for her bravery, her fortitude, her quiet reliance on Jesus. My aunt thanked her for giving her children something altogether other than what she had been given. We sang into the damp, green stillness, mixing the chords of a favorite hymn with tears and smiling. I bit my lip and took pictures.
A friend of mine recently welcomed some foster children into her home. She says they talk about things that kids should not have to know about. They speak, without flinching, about things I can't imagine. She says it's hard to hear. She says it breaks her heart. And she told me what she tells them when they share with her: "I am sorry that happened to you. That must have been scary. You didn't deserve that."
I keep thinking about those simple sentences. No false pretense of understanding. No Band-Aid. No clichés or empty promises. Just a few words that say, "I hear you. I see you. You have worth." Simple, beautiful sentences that speak the heart of a God who tells us that he has engraved our names into the palm of his hand. I know he knows the names of children whose homes are not places of safety. I know he knows the names of children whose parents pack up and drive away. He cries when they cry and listens when they pray. And sometimes he sees them all the way to ninety, to be sung over by three generations of grateful hearts in a grove of redwoods.
"Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49:15-16
