Because it enables both the security and sharing of data, blockchain seems ideally suited to health care. Next year, the pieces may come together for it to finally get some real traction in the sector.
The caveat: The prices are now falling for various reasons, but the high cost still means many who might benefit don't have access to the medications.
The caveats: About 40,000 Americans are newly infected every year. And HIV infection is still among the top 10 leading causes of death among Americans between the ages of 25 and 44.
Vertical integration may make sense in the era of value-based care. But will the combinations limit patient choice–and pass antitrust muster?
Insurers are busy merging with retailers and providers in vertical integration deals after attempts at horizontal combinations hit antitrust roadblocks.
The FDA commissioner has an 11-step 'action plan' to get biosimilars out of a repeat mode of unrealized potential. But issues like interchangeability still need clarifying if biosimilars are to have a major effect on drug expenditures.
Community health workers liaise between underserved populations and clinicians, help patients and resources to manage disease, and provide health education, informal counseling, and social support. Interest in community health workers is shifting away from narrowly focused intervention on a single disease toward care coordination of multiple chronic conditions.
BPCI Advanced signals a willingness among Medicare providers to redesign care and take on risk. Commercial payers are watching closely.
The price of biologics can ruin cancer patients financially, this leading oncology expert reminds us. Biosimilars may help, but we need more of them on the market.

The caveats: It is difficult to study. The strongest evidence is for palliative care in hospitals.
The caveats: Most of the evidence involves routine care. It is uncertain whether nurse practitioners will be willing to work in rural areas to fill the primary care void.

Art & Mini Golf!
ya that combo is a LITTLE crazy! but that's just what we did last night.
we headed downtown to the arts administration building for a little mini golf...
it was FREE!
plus, there was lots of cool art to check out while we golfed.
not only was there ART, but the ART acted as the holes.
some were VERY tricky, and some were just crazy!
-afterwards we headed to chili's for a bite to eat & then called it a night.
james and i had to get up early to go help put up flags for 9/11
and my fave...
today: shopping, byu game, take flags down, & get ready for sunday...

New statue unveiled at Underwood vets memorial
Military veterans, family members and friends gathered Wednesday evening, June 27, for the unveiling of the "We leave no man left behind" statue at Underwood Veterans Memorial Plaza.
Honorees, representing all wounded warriors, were Bruce Hanstad and Donald Klaksvik.
The lead person for this project was Ron Shebeck, post historian for the Underwood American Legion.
The statue was constructed in Sioux Falls and transported to Underwood by Shebeck, a long-time leader and volunteer with the Underwood American Legion.
"The soldier, as part of the statue, is seen using the fireman's carry while helping a wounded buddy on the battlefield," Shebeck said.
The Otter Kester and Myrt Trudeau Veterans Memorial Plaza has tributes to those from Underwood who gave their lives during time of war, and to all veterans living and deceased who served in all four branches of the U.S. military.
Shebeck, a retired banker, has preserved many area historic photos that are on display in the lower level of Farmers State Bank.

Another year has passed and another successful Write for Rights campaign has been fulfilled by our friends at Amnesty International. And quite a campaign it has proven to be.
Write for Rights, a project organized by Amnesty International, is an annual campaign based on the concept that when massive amounts of attention are focused on real-word problems that real-world solutions will be realized. In effect, Write for Rights is a worldwide letter writing campaign focused on demanding the release of — and improved conditions of confinement for — political prisoners and other prisoners of conscience.
The success of Write for Rights is simple, even if its orchestration is anything but that. Prison administrators and politicians can ignore a single letter, email, text message, or phone call. These can be easily swept under the rug and hid from the light of day. But can they ignore 10, 50, 100 letters, or how about two million? Obviously, as the number grows larger, the harder it becomes to ignore the demands and public scrutiny. And in 2013, 1.9 million communications were made to prison officials worldwide as part of Amnesty International's Write for Rights 2012.
Write for Rights 2013 was even more successful, with 2.3 million communications sent from hundreds of thousands of project supporters worldwide. In fact, the campaign was so successful that it resulted in the release of two political prisoners: Yorm Bopha, a noted Cambodian housing rights activist, and Vladimir Akimenkov, a peaceful Russian protester.
According to Amnesty International, their Write for Rights campaign focuses on political prisoners in Tunisia, Ethiopia, Bahrain, Russia, and Myanmar; "individuals victimized by the state" in Belarus, Mexico, Cambodia, and Turkey; and communities in Honduras, Palestine, and Nigeria.
Outside of letter writing campaigns, Amnesty International supporters have organized demonstrations, debates, flash-mobs, sit-ins, petitions, concerts, and workshops in locales such as Canada, Nepal, Guinea, Morocco, Katanga, and Portugal. Even "creative light projections" were orchestrated in Istanbul and Paris last year. The light projection in Istanbul, boldly enough, was directed at the Caolayan courthouse and Galata Tower, both symbols of oppression.
The concept of peaceful, passive resistance techniques like letter writing has often been discounted by those in the prisoners' rights community. In American prisons (particularly at the higher security levels), political discussions can often be heard about demanding change or taking control through force or intimidation. While passive and active resistance are both, by definition, resistance methodologies, the idea of a peaceful intervention is surprisingly refreshing. And the successes of Amnesty International's Write for Rights 2013 is certain to embolden both their supporters, and the other groups that learn of this relatively safer and more socially acceptable method of demanding change. Perhaps this is something we in the prison education field should consider.

Although Mary Midgley has achieved prominence for having crossed swords with science fundamentalists such as Richard Dawkins and Peter Atkins, to see her merely as a tribal warrior in the culture wars would be a serious misreading of her many important, eloquent and passionate books. She has a deep understanding and sympathy for what scientists have tried to achieve and a gratitude for the gifts they have bestowed on humanity. She even acknowledges the benefits of reductionism in advancing some types of scientific understanding. Indeed, as she says, it is precisely because reductionism "has been so successfully used to connect physical sciences that it always seemed seductive". Her enemy is not science but rampant scientism, of the kind represented in Dawkins's recent pronouncement that "science is the only way we know to understand the real world".
This sort of claim is not itself scientific. Even so, it would be unexceptionable, even banal, if all it meant was that we cannot understand the general nature of the world without transparent theories and clearly defined concepts underpinned by facts. But it means more than this: it is a statement of imperial intent ("We shall conquer all") or a profession of religious faith ("Thou shalt know only one God"). For the arch-reductionists, many rigorous academic disciplines - including neighbouring sciences such as much clinical science, most social science and any form of psychology that does not conform to certain paradigms - are viewed as primitive. Humanist disciplines such as history, philosophy and political theory are deemed to be cognitive leftovers from earlier stages of human development. As for creative writers, they may be dismissed entirely. Other, informal, modes of understanding are derided as yet more backward: the intuitions, intelligence and understanding deployed by a good social worker, doctor, teacher or even a close friend are too remote from physics to count as knowledge of anything real.
This position looks plausible only because it stipulates in advance what shall count as real: reality is ultimately what is captured by physics or by those sciences that ape the terminology of physics and aspire to be assimilated into the latter's world picture. That is why consciousness itself - the necessary precondition of scientific inquiry, one would have thought - is viewed with suspicion. It cannot be real if it is truly available only to (unscientific) introspection; moreover, it involves secondary qualities and first-person perspectives, and these have no place in the impersonal scientific world of abstracted quantities. If its reality is to be allowed, this is only on the understanding that it proves to be identical with particular sorts of physico-chemical elements in the brain, so that it may qualify as a suitable subject for physical science. For this to be plausible, consciousness must be shrunk from (to use Midgley's phrase) "the crowded scene of everyday life" to a cluster of puzzling physical phenomena in the cabinet of the skull. Elsewise, it is a chimera, a ghost left over from folk psychology or its cousin, philosophy.
Midgley's case against intellectual imperialism of the reductionist scientism is witty, richly illustrated and decisive. She illustrates the need for different modes of inquiry yielding knowledge of different kinds of reality by considering the different maps in an atlas. No one in their senses would insist that cartography should aim to fuse these maps into a single one showing earthquakes, national boundaries, wealth and trade routes as manifestations of a single underlying substance. Yet this is precisely what reductionist scientific thought envisages: all forms of human knowledge ultimately reducible - and improvable to - the viewpoint- less view of mathematical physics. Midgley argues that the things that preoccupy poets and novelists are not third-rate data that will eventually be clarified and reformed, via some intermediate science such as neurochemistry, into physics's (first-rate) equations describing the transformations of mass-energy.
A great strength of Science and Poetry is Midgley's deep understanding of the impulses that motivate the commonest form of reductionism: that "way of thinking that deliberately extends the impersonal, reductive, atomistic methods that are appropriate to physical science into social and psychological inquiries where they work badly". Atomism, she reminds us, originated as a liberating vision, seminally expressed in Lucretius's On the Nature of the Universe . Lucretius had little empirical evidence for his theory; indeed, it was not primarily a solution to scientific problems but a moral crusade. By showing that natural causation was independent of the gods, it freed mankind "from the crushing load of superstition" that had led humans to do such terrible things in the name of religion. Unfortunately, he launched the notion of science as primarily "a benign kind of weed killer designed to get rid of religion". Weed killing then extended not only to superstitions but also to modes of knowledge and understanding other than its own. Ironically, as Midgley points out, Lucretius's treatise was composed of "great rolling hexameters that gave it force it would never have had if it had been expressed in unemotive prose".
The Lucretian origins of atomism, and the role of poetry in establishing its central place in the scientific mind, illuminate a central theme of Midgley's book: the dependence of detailed scientific thought on non-detailed background visions. Scientists who dismiss poetry and the imagination betray their ignorance of the roots of the very science in whose name they believe they speak. The formative images that shape scientific theorising are not developed in-house: there is a brisk trade of ideas and preconceptions and unstated assumptions between science and the society in which it develops and to whose development it makes such a contribution.
Midgley does not, however, use the pre-scientific roots of science and the external influences on its key concepts to support a dubious social constructivist or facile anti-realist view of science. She accepts that, within its limits, science provides objective knowledge of the aspects of nature it describes. She does not confuse the pre-scientific roots of science with its leaves: its specific theories are open to testing, and they are only as good as they are objectively effective. But it is precisely because of this that the escape of the atomic paradigm from the places where it has been so productive - the investigation, understanding and control, of certain aspects of the material world - to other places is unscientific. The arrogance of atomistic imperialism is particularly perverse given that atomism is somewhat passé in its home discipline of physics, which is increasingly inclined to take account of the role of the subject in measurement and has long abandoned billiard balls.
Atomistic notions of the social world, as in gene-based sociobiology, and the idea of memes (independent, self-replicating atoms of cultural transmission) demonstrate the continuing power of the Lucretian vision. Such is the hold of atomism that these developments can be passed off as belonging to science when the independent data in support of them are laughably inadequate. E. O. Wilson's declaration that "behaviour and social structure, like all other biological phenomena, can be studied as 'organs', extensions of the genes that exist because of their superior adaptive value" has all ordinary observations against it and only a atomist-inspired dream in favour.
Atomist reductionism is not just a matter of academic interest. The wider intellectual harm caused by misplaced atomistic thought is a major preoccupation of Science and Poetry . The influence of atomistic imagery, and the atomistic habit of breaking up wholes into ultimate units, is apparent in individualistic social thought and "the idea that human beings are essentially separate items who only come together in groups for contingent reasons of convenience".
The dangers of individualism and the associated social-contract thinking are becoming increasingly clear and present. Social-contract thinking, like atomism, was a liberating force when it was advanced by Enlightenment thinkers. It was part of "a political campaign against the use of religion to justify exploitation"; and its narrow contractual view of political obligations was "a defence against the use of religiously motivated loyalty by self-interested rulers". Contractual and individualistic thought, however, has had the unintended effect of making it difficult to understand, even less to accept, our wider responsibilities towards humans outside our own society, or even our immediate circle, and towards non-human nature, which we have come to think of "as an inert and bottomless larder stocked for our needs". Globalisation and the threat to the future habitability of the planet from the ever-more massive sum of human activity make atomic individualism an increasingly malign misunderstanding. By denying that we are all part of each other and that even our self-interest is best served by looking far beyond the horizon of our short-term interests, social-contract thinking and individualism threaten catastrophe on a planetary scale.
Midgley urges us to question the atomistic world pictures by which we live and, in particular, to develop a more realistic picture of the way society, the living world and the planet as a whole work so we can "correct the delusive idea that we are either engineers who can redesign our planet or chance passengers who can detach themselves from it when they please". She offers James Lovelock's Gaia - a vision of life on earth as a self- sustaining natural system - as such a world picture. Inasmuch as Gaia talk reminds us of the interconnectedness of all things, it is to be welcomed. It is less welcome as a potential focus for the personification of nature and insincere animist thought: the journey from Lovelock's Gaia to New Age Gaiarrhoea is short enough to discredit the former for some. We do not, however, have to believe that our planet is in some sense a single organism to be persuaded of Midgley's call to wider responsibilities.
The attraction of holistic or organicist thought for Midgley is of a piece with another of her strengths as a thinker: her desire to overcome what she calls intellectual apartheid. She likes the Gaia hypothesis because it "brings together official scientific beliefs with our imaginative life". As she declares in her opening sentence, Science and Poetry is about the unity of our lives, which is deeply connected with our sense of who and what we are: "We will never make sense of life if we do not somehow keep our various faculties on speaking terms with one another." This will not be achieved by one discipline declaring itself sovereign over all others, with scientists dismissing poetry as inferior to science or sociologists of knowledge cutting science down to size by pretending that the truths it has revealed about nature are socially constructed. Midgley's books over the past 20 years have made a signal contribution to ending "the contest of faculties" and to furthering the central philosophical mission of making sense of life. Science and Poetry is perhaps her most important book yet.

Get Off Your Treadmill
by TEC Chair, Greg Hadubiak
For those who know me well, the title of this blog entry might seem at odds with the lifestyle I've tried to fashion for myself over the past five years or so – two Ironman Canada finishes, variety of other smaller distance triathlons, and up to 2 workouts a day. But sometimes, there is a real need to re-evaluate progress, goals, and the processes you are using to achieve results. Sometimes, you have to get off the treadmill, dismount from your bike, and step back from the pool to objectively assess status in order to reach your desired level of performance.
The same is true in your leadership journey. In my one-to-one coaching sessions and team development engagements, I often find myself working with my clients to help them carve out time for them to step back and critically evaluate and reengage with the fundamental core of their roles, vocations and business. Almost without exception they lament their lack of time as they face the impossible task of juggling all the "priorities" being thrown at them, all the urgent issues requiring their attention, and all the stillborn and "critical" initiatives they believe they must tackle.
In most cases, individual leaders try to address this by simply extending their work week. In essence, however, this extended effort typically does not leave us any more satisfied with our workload then when we started. Rather, we find ourselves on "the treadmill" and rather than effectively using our creative talents and ingenuity as leaders – utilizing the brainpower and capabilities for which we were selected – we are far more often engaged in a pure test of our stamina. At this point, as leaders, we have to question whether we are truly leading. Are we running an organization or is our organization running us?
The same dynamic plays out for leadership teams as well. The frustration that exists for individual leaders may look different for a team – competing priorities, lack of collaboration, competition for resources, and conflict – but in reality it comes from some of the same sources. Teams have not taken the time to step back to critically re-evaluate the nature of the work they are doing, how that fits in with a bigger picture of organizational success, and what truly is a critical priority for success in the coming month, quarter and year.
So what's the solution to this time press? Ironically enough it's having the courage to step back from the coal face of work long enough to gain some perspective. As I described at the beginning of this entry, I often engage with my clients to establish a structured approach to setting aside protected time on a regular basis to simply evaluate and take stock of their work. This time has to be established as sacred and critical to the leader (or a team as the case may be). It has to be focused and uninterrupted time. Consider this time as important as any non-negotiable event in your calendar – meeting with your Board of Directors, meeting with your boss, a major presentation to your professional peers. You can't defer or neglect these kinds of events. You wouldn't be asking your Board Chair/Boss to be excused from your once per month meeting while you take a series of phone calls. You need to make the same kind of commitment to yourself as a leader or a team to effectively evaluate your current status and future effort
Your future success as a leader is NOT going to be predicated on your stamina or ability to endure. You have been selected to lead your organization for the quality of your decision-making, for your ability to discern key factors and information in a chaotic environment, and for your ability to focus organizational effort on common goals. You can't do this if you don't exercise personal leadership and discipline. Be deliberate and strong with yourself to stay in charge of your business – don't let your business run you. Be decisive and courageous enough to take time for yourself and to truly discern where your leadership is going to make the biggest difference. Taking that time is going to be one of biggest tests of your leadership.
Do you have the courage to step off the treadmill if even only for a little while?

What do Valentine's Day, books by Sandra Magsamen and books by Joyce Wan have in common? They celebrate love, cuddles, and all things sweet and adorable!
Therefore, we thought that the perfect way to get in the mood for February 14th was to highlight some of these creators' most delectable board books—I'm Wild about You, Whooo Loves You? and BEEcause I Love You by Sandra and You Are My Cupcake, Hug You, Kiss You, Love You and Good Night, Sweetie by Joyce.
Read below to learn a behind-the-scenes fact about each title and how you can win a bundle of all six! Valentine's Day is about to get cuter than ever.
I'm Wild about You – Sandra Magsamen
I had a lot of fun drawing these fellows and finding the cuteness in each. When my daughter was a little girl, I would take her to the zoo and of course we would say to the animals... "I'm wild about you!"
You Are My Cupcake – Joyce Wan
This Sunshine character did not make the cut when I decided that You Are My Cupcake was going to only feature food characters. However, you can catch Sunshine in my upcoming book, Count My Cupcakes 123.
Whooo Loves You? – Sandra Magsamen
We have a walking path near our home in Vermont and on the trail we often hear owls calling "whooooooo, whooooooo." These calls were the inspiration for this book. I got to thinking about how do animals speak to each other and how do we tell one another we love you.
Hug You, Love You, Kiss You – Joyce Wan
Hearts are my favorite shape. I thought it would be fun to fill Hug You, Kiss You Love You with hearts. If you look in the background patterns and within the animals themselves, you will find hearts everywhere in the book.
BEEcause I Love You – Sandra Magsamen
I have always loved how we can play with words. A bee can be a bee or a be! There are a ton of words and phrases that begin with BE and most of them are really inspiring to me. I loved using BEEcause in a playful way, and I love these BE (BEE) words and phrases too….
BEE You
BEElieve in yourself
Good Night, Sweetie – Joyce Wan
"Sweet dreams on moonbeams" is something I say to my daughter every night as part of our bedtime ritual.

text: JACKSONVILLE, Ala. --- The Tennessee State women's basketball team wasted no time in getting into the win column this season in Ohio Valley Conference as the Lady Tigers opened league play with a 77-74 victory at Jacksonville State Thursday night. TSU, which was winless in OVC play last season, rode a strong first half and came up with big plays down the stretch to capture the victory and give interim head coach Tracee Jones a victory in her conference coaching debut. The win came over a Jax State team which had defeated Southeastern Conference opponent Auburn on Sunday. "I could not be more proud of my team right now," said Jones. "We have been working on staying focused and executing at the end of the game. We told them it would come down to the little things. At conference time, you look for people to step up and tonight we had people meet this challenge." The Lady Tigers made an 11-0 run in the first half to build a 23-12 lead at the 8:23 mark of the opening half. TSU would lead by as many 17 points before carrying a 40-27 lead into halftime. Jax State made its expected run in the second half and came back to lead 58-57 with 9:04 remaining. TSU took the lead for good on LaToya Clay's free throw at 73-72 with 1:31 left. Kendra Bailey followed with a field goal with 32 seconds left and Quanecia Fletcher hit a pair of free throws with 12 seconds left. LaKisha Clay and Leslie Dean each scored 23 points to lead TSU (4-8, 1-0). LaToya Clay added 10. TSU was 27-55 from the field and had a much-improved night at the free throw line, making 17-22. JSU (4-6, 1-1) was led by Rebecca Haynes 25 points. TSU will play at Samford Saturday afternoon.

Windows Vista
Posted by Chris @ 9:16 pm
Installing some Windows XP security updates on Friday evening seemed to cause some major issue for Windows XP come Saturday afternoon when I tried to boot up my machine to upload some photos, from Fountains Abbey. You see as soon as it hit Windows in the boot sequence, it restarted itself. I tried it in safe mode, last good configuration mode, and a few other modes, nothing, every time a reboot. XP had died, long live Vista!
After whipping my HDD out of my machine I stuck it into my Ubuntu box, figured out how to mount the Windows partitions using this very handy page, and copied my data onto my external HDD.
I then started the job of repartitioning and formatting my HDD, and installing Vista, which I have to admit was made very painless by the Vista install. In fact, my whole experiance of Vista so far has been positive. I got it up and working in no time, all the apps I need are working, and it actually has some nice touches, like Media Center being included and a snazzy look and feel. The only downsides, I don't get the full on glass (Aero) snazzy look and feel because my graphics card is deemed not good enough, and IIS7.0 is confusing and doesn't work with .aspx and .asp file, but nothing that a bit of reading won't cure, I'm sure.
All in all I can't be happier with Vista, I'd recommend it!

Bubba Wants Role of Super-Ambassador
Bill Clinton wants to play role as super-ambassador for Obama.
He says he could restore the goodwill for the United States abroad.
The Politico reported:
Former President Bill Clinton says he is open to the possibility of a role in the Obama administration but said he otherwise plans to be deferential to both the president and Clinton's wife, the soon-to-be secretary of state.
Clinton could be named as a sort of super-ambassador on a specific issue like India, or on a broad topic like restoring goodwill for the United States abroad. He was deferential to President George W. Bush, accepting assignments on hurricane and tsunami relief in conjunction with the president's father, former President George H.W. Bush.
Clinton told CNN International that he's "just try to be a helpful sounding board" for Hillary Clinton when she becomes the nation's chief diplomat.
"Unless he asks me to do something specific, which I'm neither looking for nor closed to," Clinton said.

Always Choose The Harder Option
Robert Frost has long been one of my favorite poets. One poem that made a lasting impression on me, and I thought it would be fun if we conducted a thought experiment for this blog post.
The Poem Is "The Road Not Taken"
You may know it:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
If we read it rapidly and mindlessly, it seems that Frost is suggesting to us all that we should take the road less traveled and this has been the interpretation for some.
Lets Look at The Words More Closely
First of all, the title is "The Road Not Taken" which makes no claim about which road was traveled more. If we read carefully, Frost eludes to both roads being worn "really about the same" and that both lay equally covered in leaves that hadn't been walked on.
So really, he's painting us a picture of a fork in the road (a metaphor for decisions in life) where either path (at least on the surface) looks to be about the same. The last stanza is really what interests me. Frost gives us the idea that he'll look back on this moment someday, and recount it (with a sigh, suggesting he won't even believe himself) differently than he currently sees it. He'll say that he took the "road less traveled by" and that this has "made all the difference."
Our Minds Are Tricksters
I won't go into a great deal of psycho-analysis of Frost's work, but knowing the way I think I can say with some certainty that if I were to recall a "fork" in the road where each path were equal I may inflate the recollection as Frost does just to make myself feel good about myself. As if to say that I got to where I am because I chose the "harder" path in life. That would make me feel good about myself I suppose.
Another idea planted in my mind a few times in life is that when we are faced with two choices, we should choose the harder. The very fact that we are even considering the other is pure laziness. We know intuitively in the back of our minds what's the right thing to do, and this trick simply forces us to recognize this fact.
Use This Trick In The Gym, Get Better Results
If you're trying to decide between a 25# and a 35# kettlebell for a workout, pick the 35#. If you don't, likely you'll go Robert Frost when recalling the decision and embellish the facts saying you could have used a 35# KB.
This advice, of course, is intended to be used within reason. Don't pick the harder choice that will lead to injury.
I have tried to engineer a situation where the harder of two choices would be a bad idea. As of yet, I have yet to develop a serious one. Let me know if you can think of a situation where choosing the harder choice wouldn't be a better idea.

Snowy Road
Bus 835 photographed during a recent snow storm. In the background the old stationhouse at the commuter station in Tungelsta. I'm running out on photos now so I need to go out and shoot something new tomorrow. Looking at the weather forecast it says gray skies and crap weather for the next ten days.

Happy Black Fabric. I also used an Italian Linen bought in Hickey's. There's a lovely stretch to the linen.
Here's the inside:
Fuáil is the Irish language word for Sewing. This is my place as an amateur seamstress on the web - a diary or a scrapbook - where I record my projects, my designs, my attempts at dressmaking and sewing. I would love to gather around me a community of fellow dressmakers that are also based in Ireland... and some further afield too.

Brrrr! But exotically beautiful.
It looks like you have more snow than us. Did you get any from that last east coast blizzard?
Beautiful. Always glad to see you post something.

This magical, pampering treatment uses a candle massage oil in a special ceramic pitcher designed especially for the light appliance of the oil which contains a variety of scents. Before the start of the treatment, guests are able to choose the appropriate fragrance to suit their mood. The solid palm oil turns liquid after being heated. The candle massage oil has a superb skin softening and protecting effect. By the end of the treatment, the skin becomes velvety-soft, flexible and pleasantly-scented, while the body is physically, energetically, and mentally recharged.
This aroma cup contains argan oil and gold dust, which is lit and changes to liquid gold before your very eyes. Our guests are spoiled during the treatment with this heated "liquid gold", combined with sophisticated massage movements. The unique features of skin-nourishing argan oil are its 80% essential fatty acid and its high Vitamin E content. It increases oxygen supply to the skin, provides elasticity to the skin, regenerating and binding free radicals, and helps restore the skin's hydration. The soothing warmth and perfumed fragrance of the liquid gold is nothing short of enchanting. After using – just as if you had stepped out of Cleopatra's shrine - the skin becomes silky to the touch, bewitchingly attractive, golden shiny, and fragrant.
We have now extended our Danubius Magic holistic hot-oil candle massage to include a special champagne/strawberry aroma. After it has been lit, the warm massage oil melts and turns into a rose colour, coupled with an irresistibly alluring champagne/strawberry aroma. Champagne is symbolic of luxury, pampering and special occasions. The dry Champagne extract promotes vitality and hydration to the skin and maintains and repairs collagen fibre. After the treatment the skin will stay fresh and youthful thanks to the anti-oxidant effect of the strawberry extract. At the end of this 50-minutes full body massage, your skin will glisten and be slightly perfume-scented thanks to this hot massage oil.

New Development "Chesa Godin"
Located in the privileged and picturesque region of Zuoz, this is one of the last secondary-residence developments in the Engadine.
The residents of these apartments, housed within two buildings, will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views, with each point of the compass offering a different vista. From the property's hillside location, a pleasant three-minute stroll amid picturesque meadows takes you to the centre of Zuoz village in the northeast. To the southeast, you have an unobstructed view of the plain of Zuoz, where you will also find the famous 18-hole golf course.
To the southwest, an idyllic grove promises hours of sun-kissed – and above all windless – enjoyment. Directly to the north lies the ski resort of Zuoz, from which you can ski straight down to the apartment buildings. All of the views have one factor in common: the unique mountain scenery of the Plaiv.
The two multi-family dwellings will be built in accordance with traditional, high-quality construction standards.

So, I'm very lucky to have with me, one of the Liberal economic advisers, Mr Fik Tishus, to work us through the Coalition plan to get the country back back on its feet. Thanks Mr Tishus, can I get you to outline what you feel are the priorities for this country.
Thanks, Rossleigh, can I call you Rossleigh?
Ross, thanks, but back to the question what are the priorities for this country?
Rossleigh's a very unusual name where does it come from?
My parents called me that – no idea why. The priorities?
Yes, we have them all worked out.
And they are?
In a sealed envelope in my desk.
Could you, perhaps, tell us one.

Here some DIY tips and information about paints and painting that a home handyman will find useful.
The problem is caused in wood by resin seeping from knots that have not been properly sealed. To solve the problem, remove the paint from the damaged area, use a knot sealant to treat the area, and then repaint.
Caused by air or water becoming trapped under the paint causing it to bubble up. Blistering occurs on a wooden surface if damp or resin is drawn out of it by heat. To avoid the problem, make sure that wood is thoroughly dry before you paint it.
A pattern of tiny cracks on the surface that looks like crazy paving. Crazing is due to painting over a previously painted surface with a paint that is not compatible or painting over a previous coat that was not completely dry.
Different Brushes
When painting a room with more than one colour, use a different brush for each colour. You will save time by not having to clean your brush each time you change colour.
Laying Off
Laying Off - Applying light, finishing, paint strokes to avoid runs.
Matt Finish
A matt finish is a non-glossy, dull surface.
Paint Brushes
You should always clean a paint brush as soon as you have finished using it. Use white spirits or brush cleaner for oil-based paints and clean water for water-based paints.
Paint Runs
These are caused by too much paint being applied. You can help avoid it by not putting too much paint on your brush, especially if the paint is very liquid.
There are basically just two types of paint used for home decoration - water-based paints and oil-based paints. Water-based paints are used on plaster, wallpaper and ceilings. Oil-based paints are used on wood and metal.
Primer is the first coat of paint applied to a surface to prevent subsequent coats being absorbed into the surface. The paint used to do this is called primer.
Sugar Soap
Sugar soap can be used to clean and degrease painted surfaces.
Undercoat is a type of paint which is applied to a surface to provide a good key for the top coat. It is a matt coat and will help cover small discrepancies in the surface. If the surface has previously been painted with a strong color, undercoat will help stop it showing through the new top coat.
Universal Sealer
Universal sealer is a clear paint that seals porous surfaces such as chipboard, concrete and plaster before they are painted.
Here is a selection of household cleaning and stain removal tips and information that you will find useful.
They are listed alphabetically to make it easier to find the information that you want. Click your mouse on one the letter shown below and you will be taken to the correct page for that letter.
Please be cautious when cleaning items or trying to remove stains. Before using a cleaner or stain remover always do a test on a small piece of fabric that won't be seen to check that it won't change the colour or damage the item.
Stain removers need to be handled with extreme care. Always read and take note of any instructions or warnings on the label. The chemicals used in stain removers are often poisonous and highly flammable so make sure that you keep them safely away from children and pets. Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when using stain removers as they often give off dangerous fumes. Don't smoke when using them. Be careful not to mix stain removers - if you try one stain remover and it does not work make sure that you have thoroughly rinsed it away before trying a different stain remover. It is best to wear rubber gloves when touching any cleaning or stain removing products to avoid damaging your skin.

Under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations (CDM 2015) the principal contractor has to produce a construction phase plan outlining the key arrangements to ensure that the work is carried out safely.
The HSE guidance outlines 3 key points to focus on when preparing the construction phase plan, these are to plan and organise the job, and work together with others involved to make sure that the work is carried out without risks to health and safety, which will also assist in compiling with CDM 2015.
If you are working for a domestic client, then the plan does not need to be complicated, a simple construction phase plan prepared prior to the works commencing will usually suffice and show that you have thought about health & safety.
If the works need to be notified to the HSE (last longer than 500 person days or 30 working days with more than 20 people working at the same time) then the construction phase plan would need to be more in depth.
CDM Regulations 2015 and The Construction Phase Plan
The CDM Regulations now apply to all (including domestic) building and construction work, including new build, refurbishment, repairs and maintenance
The client should not allow work to start on site until there is an adequate plan in place.
The principal contractor is required to ensure that a suitable construction phase plan ('the plan') is:
(i) prepared before construction work begins,
(ii) developed in discussion with, and communicated to, contractors affected by it,
(iii) implemented, and
(iv) kept up to date as the project progresses;
A generic plan will not satisfy the requirements of CDM 2015. The plan must also be tailored to the project
For preparation of your plan, wether it be advice or completing the plan on your behalf, contact us.
You can purchase a construction phase plan template from our website click here

WINNIPEG — Blake Wheeler liked 57 minutes of Monday's game between Winnipeg and Vegas. The other three minutes, not so much.
Tomas Tatar and Jonathan Marchessault scored twice for the Golden Knights late in the first period to jumpstart the visitors to a 3-1 victory that tied the Western Conference final series heading into Game 3 in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
"There was about 57 minutes of that game that was pretty good for us," Wheeler said. "Three minutes of it got away from us. They could have scored four goals in three minutes. We just gotta stay with it better."
Tatar and Marchessault, with his first of two goals in the game, beat goalie Connor Hellebuyck in a four-minute span.
Tatar's shot hit the post, he got the puck back and then slid it around the post past Hellebuyck, who finished with 25 saves.
Marchessault made it 2-0 at 17:22 after a Winnipeg turnover during a line change, beating Hellebuyck with a backhand shot through his pads. Vegas outshot the Jets 13-11 in the opening period.
Winnipeg veteran forward Paul Stastny took responsibility for some of his team's errors.
"The first goal was a couple of turnovers," Stastny said. "I turned it over by the net and (Hellebuyck) makes a good save, and then I kind of tried to jump over him and I kind of actually take his (stick) knob so I get him twisted a little bit.
"The second goal was the same thing. It was just a turnover, kind of a lack of communication with the line change. So, two goals right there."
Kyle Connor scored for Winnipeg on the power play at 7:17 of the third when his angled shot at Marc-Andre Fleury hit the goalie's chest and went under him. The veteran netminder finished with 30 saves.
The Jets' lone goal was only the third time in 14 playoff games they've been held to one goal or less. However, Winnipeg has scored 48 goals so far, one ahead of the Washington Capitals.
Marchessault supplied his sixth goal of the playoffs at 8:45 of the third to make it 3-1. Reilly Smith had a pair of assists.
"We didn't do anything clean, we didn't do anything quickly," Jets head coach Paul Maurice said. "That part I think was true for the whole game and we want to be better there."
Winnipeg defenceman Jacob Trouba said they knew the Golden Knights would come out quicker in this game. They matched the pace, but only for a while.
"I don't think anybody in here minded our start. We liked it," Trouba said. "We had some good chances, they capitalized on theirs."
The loss dropped Winnipeg's record on home ice to 5-3-0, but they've also went 4-2 on the road.
"They're a good team," Wheeler said. "Sometimes the bounces are going to go their way, sometimes they're going to go our way. It's just a matter of getting back on it next game."

NAID helps ARMA with NARA initiative
Dec. 3, 2014
NAID is one of a handful of records and information management organizations that were asked to join a coalition of key stakeholders to help the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) implement the President's 2011 Memorandum on Managing Government Records and the Office of Management and Budget and NARA's joint 2012 Managing Government Records Directive.
The coalition, formed by ARMA International, brings together industry leaders in records and information management, including those involved in the valuation, creation, storage, use, archiving, deletion, and security of records and information, to help NARA improve the management, preservation, and access to government records and to develop and implement new records management techniques to capture real-time interactions.
The coalition currently includes AIIM, AHIMA, ARMA, NAID, and PRISM. To date, the coalition has held two meetings and is in the process of formulating its strategic plan. NARA, while not technically part of the private sector initiative, welcomes the initiative and has been represented during preliminary discussions.

Arrived in Japan a few days ago and all is well so far. My plan for the day was to stroll through the famous Nippori Textile Town. Why? To buy fabric of course.
But it's Sunday and the shops were closed... not to mention it is cold, cold cold and windy today. So not the fun filled fabric shopping trip I was hoping for. But the good news is... now I know how to get there, and I have time to go back.
Here' Five Tokyo Travel Stories that may interest only me.
1. The Japanese actually form nice, well organized lines to get on the subway or trains! So polite. Can you imagine telling a bunch of New Yorkers to stand in a neatly formed line to enter the subway.
2. Note to self: there are no paper towels or hand dryers is the women's restrooms. Women here carry their own little towels around in their purse. Kinda odd. Need to get one of those!
3. The Otemachi stop on the Tozai subway line is essentially the same stop as the Tokyo station... so the 90 minutes I spent yesterday morning connecting through 3 subways stations and one train platform was pretty ridiculous when all I had to do was go 2 more stops and walk 5 minutes. Hmmm....
4. The taxi doors open and close by themselves. So cool. Pretty much the same for most doors here.
5. I was given a very special fortune yesterday (in English!).
It says: LAWSUITS: you will win. (do they know about us Americans?)
THE PERSON YOU AWAIT: He will come. (Not sure if this means the person I aspire to be, or if I'm waiting on someone!)
TRAVEL: Favorable. That's my favorite part... partly because it sounds like a weather forecast... and partly because I hope it stays true.
I'll be heading back to Nippori Textile Town soon, hopefully it will be alive with activity and not so cold! I'll also be attending the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival 2014 which starts this week. Everyone here just calls it the Tokyo Dome Show. So, me and 300,000 other quilters are all awaiting the Tokyo Dome Show! Should be fun.
Stay tuned.
Jan 19, 2014
Tokyo textile town... not the best day to visit

Men's Basketball Battles Demon Deacons Friday
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Arkansas men's basketball team (3-3) is set for its first true road game of the year Friday evening, traveling to Winston-Salem, N.C. for a date with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-2).
Tip-off: Friday, 6 p.m. CT
Location: Winston-Salem, N.C.
Radio: IMG Sports Network | XM: 81 | Sirius: 81
The Opponent
• Wake Forest, from Winston-Salem, N.C., is 5-2 on the season. The Demon Deacons return home after four games away from LJVM Coliseum, including three in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational, where they went 2-1. In Hawaii, Wake defeated Indiana (82-78) and lost to Vanderbilt (86-64), before edging UCLA (80-77) in the consolation game. Most recently, the Demon Deacons were in Piscataway, N.J., where they defeated Rutgers (69-68) in a B1G/ACC Challenge matchup.
• Wake has five players averaging double figures, as well as one just missing the cut at 9.7 points per game. Senior forward Devin Thomas leads the way with 18.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per game, which ranks second in the ACC. Even though the Demon Deacons are 5-2, they are being outscored by 10 total points thus far. All five of their wins have been by eight or fewer points, while their two losses have been by nine and 22 points. On average, Wake outrebounds its opponents by 7.1, but they also commit 5.1 more turnovers per contest.
• Head coach Danny Manning is in his second season with Wake, with a record of 18-21 (.462) in one-plus seasons. Manning came to Winston-Salem from Tulsa, where he coached the Golden Hurricane for two years. During the 2013-14 season, Tulsa won the Conference USA Tournament and earned a bid in the NCAA Tournament as a No. 13 seed, where they lost to UCLA (76-59) in the first round. Manning is regarded as one of the best college basketball players of all time, earning the 1988 Naismith National Player of the Year award and leading Kansas to a 1988 National Championship. He holds the Jayhawk records for most points (2,951) and rebounds (1,187) and ranks 10th all-time in NCAA scoring.
#Fastest40 Facts
• The Razorbacks are 3-4 all-time against Wake Forest, but have won three of the last five meetings, including a 30-point victory last year in BWA. Arkansas won its only game in Winston-Salem, N.C., picking up a 75-59 victory on Dec. 23, 1998.
• Arkansas is 21-29 all-time against current teams in the ACC, posting a conference-high three wins against Louisville, North Carolina and Virginia.
• Jabril Durham is one of four players in the country with three double-digit assist games this season. He has three of the six double-digit assist performances in the SEC this year and ranks No. 4 in the nation with 8.0 assists per game.
• Dusty Hannahs leads the SEC in three-point field goal percentage (.515), free throw percentage (.958) and ranks fifth in scoring (18.0).
• Dusty Hannahs and Moses Kingsley are the No. 3 scoring duo in the SEC, combining to score 34.7 points per game.
• Moses Kingsley is one of two players in the SEC averaging a double-double, joining SEC Preseason Player of the Year Ben Simmons from LSU.
• Kingsley is one of 13 players in the country and one of six from a power five conference averaging at least 10 rebounds and 16 points per game.
• After one double-double in his first two years, Kingsley has four in six games this season.
The #SplashZone
• Anthlon Bell (19) and Dusty Hannahs (17) are the No. 1 three-point shooting tandem in the SEC, sinking 36 treys on the year.
• Arkansas has had a player make five-plus three-pointers in four of six games this season after doing so just twice all of last year.
• Arkansas has made at least six three-pointers in all six games this season.
• The Razorbacks have made at least four three-pointers in 49 of the last 54 games dating back to the 2013-14 season.
• Arkansas has made at least one three-pointer in 880 consecutive games dating back to a 0-for-2 performance against Texas on Jan. 7, 1989.
• Hannahs ranks No. 1 in the SEC with a .515 three-point field goal percentage, making 17 of 33 attempts from behind the arc.
• Hannahs is one of four players in school history to make five-plus three-pointers in a game without a miss when he went 5-for-5 against Charleston Southern.
• Bell went 5-for-5 from long range against Stanford in a span of six minutes and 34 seconds, taking Arkansas from a two-point deficit to a 19-point lead.
• After leading Arkansas in three-point shooting each of the last three years, Bell is attempting to join Pat Bradley (1995-99) as the only players in program history to lead Arkansas in three-pointers made for four consecutive seasons.
Up Next
Arkansas returns home to host Evansville on Tuesday, Dec. 8 in Bud Walton Arena. Tip-Off is scheduled for 8 p.m. CT on SEC Network.

"The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created–created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating." – unattributed
Is it possible that I'm creating my own tomorrow right here and now? When I think about it, how can it be possible that I'm not doing so? After all, my decisions and actions today definitely will affect what tomorrow will be like, no matter how tempting it may be to deny that reality. And my actions and decisions depend upon the way that I see the world and the people in it, as well as how I see my place in it.

Maricopa Payday Loans

Maricopa, AZ 85239
Map For Maricopa Payday Loans
Information About Maricopa Payday Loans From Around The Web
Not a bad place to borrow money. Of course no one likes to pay anything back in interest but compared to overdraft fees and other different types of penalty charges its definitely worth it. If you need just a little cash to make it through payday taking out a small payday loan is completely reasonable. – Mike
It is wise to shop locally for personal financial services, if you really have an urgent financial need. Based on where you are located, services can range from easy check cashing services to short term loan goods including fast cash loans, also referred to as cash loans . Contact the firm listed above to see what financial services are available in your city. Some may also offer installment loan programs, allowing you to pay your loan back to bigger loans for example personal loans, which afford a broader selection of giving bundles when it comes to rates of interest and loan amount, depending on your own credit score, to get a set time period.
Before applying for online payday loans you must always explore other options. Attempt to stretch your finances if there is an emergency or unexpected invoice. If you can't pay a bill, get in touch with your lender and make an effort to make a payment arrangement. If your need for cash needs a loan for a period that is longer, apply for an alternate peer-to-peer or conventional loan. Should you have collateral, you can put up property to ensure a low-interest bank loan. When you're refused funds from a traditional lending source you need temporary cash flow until the following paycheck or since your credit credibility is shot, simple loans might seem like the ideal remedy to get you through a tight fiscal circumstances. Taking out an advance on your own next paycheck from a money lender might be your only alternative should you not have a credit card or money in a savings account to cover the cost of a car repair or catching up on your electricity bill before services are shut off.
Applying for quick loans on the internet is a good alternative when sudden emergencies arise or the sum desired is not worth for starting another account, the ding to your credit score. In addition, you avoid the bother of having to assemble all your financial records, submit a lengthy application and meet together with the bank's loan officer to sign packets of paperwork. If your credit is great enough, you might qualify for a higher limit with a new account or a present charge card company with a different lender that enables you to combine all of your debt into one payment. As the consolidation is processed between both businesses, which puts cash in your pocket forthwith, you generally get to skip the following payment. You will likely be paying less overall than you were for the individual minimum payments of the separate debts, when the following payment is due. Many sources of personal credit, including bad credit personal loans, have a high annual percentage rate, particularly if origination fees are contained in the annualized rate. Many personal loans online additionally have durations that are relatively brief, frequently as very little as three months. Rolling them around can prove costly, even though it may be possible to refinance these sorts of loans.

Holy cow. I'm exhausted, my feet hurt, and I smell like raw cow meat, but life is so great! Woke up late this morning and missed breakfast, but got to help mom and Rebecca in the kitchen for lunch until the butchered cow came. We cut and cut and cut at that cow for what felt like forever, served lunch in the middle of all the chaos, then cut cow some more. Then we ground it, cooked it, dehydrated it, and did it all over again. The whole process took about nine hours, but now the children's home will have enough meat for a whole year! The weirdest part about the whole thing was that the cow was still warm on the inside, but it wasn't too bad if you just looked at is as a very large anatomy lesson. Around late afternoon I ran to the market with Bud, who the kids call abuelo, my mom, and Rebecca to get some extra food. We got back, cooked dinner, did some extra thorough cow blood removal and cleaning, then headed back to take another cold shower and hit the hay. Hasta mañana, Mexico.
Mexico Day 3 – Monday
Today was our first full day at the children's home and it was so fun! I spent all day in the kitchen with mom and Rebecca cutting fruit, baking chicken, peeling potatoes, sneaking bites of brownie, and other culinary endeavors. (My least favorite part of the dorms is their lack of a kitchen.) In between all the cooking, though, we got to play with the kids! Rauil, Miranda, Daniel, Angie, all of them are so precious! We swung, painted nails, see-sawed, played tag, and went down the slide until we were exhausted. In the kitchen, though, I got to know Dulce, an 18 year-old girl, a lot more than I did last year. She can understand English and I can understand Spanish we just can't speak them, so I talk to her in English and she replies in Spanish and it works really well! She is the sweetest. Around mid-afternoon I rode with two of the house parents to visit Siuri, a little girl who now lives with her sister, to wish her a happy birthday. She got a pair of Frozen shoes and a beanie baby, so she was super excited! We got to see her sister's baby, and then we headed back to the home. I cooked some more, played some more, ate some food, took a cold shower, and now I'm headed to bed. ¡Hasta mañana, Mexico!
Mexico Day 2 – Sunday
Today was incredible. Absolutely, completely, totally incredible. We went to Pastor Joe's church for the morning service, 80% of which was singing and dancing and praise. The Holy Spirit was so present: there was weeping, and praising, and rejoicing, which is possibly the sweetest communion one can experience with the Lord on earth! From church, we ate at a restaurant in Piedras Negras that serves authentic Mexican food. I drank lemonade and ate pico de gallo, guacamole, fresh tortillas and tortilla chips, queso, chicken, and steak until I couldn't fit any more food into my stomach. Then we went to the market, where I bought a gorgeous blanket and some ice cream with my younger sister. We went back to the children's home for about 15 minutes, picked up some supplies, and headed to another town, Allende, to visit Pastor Oscar's church. The service was incredible and was such a blessing! Afterward, we set up a movie and made hotdogs, popcorn, and snocones for the kids, which was so fun! I made friends with a 12 year-old namesd Gustavo who helped me carry about 300 snocones and distribute them to other kids. He was so patient and was willing to look after the needs of others and did not complain a single time, which was really humbling for me. He was so excited to hear that I would be traveling to Africa this summer and made me promise to write him all about it! Gustavo is one of those people who affects your life long after you've left them. We had to say goodbye, then we packed up and came back to the home. I took a shower (super cold but hey, at least we have clean water) and now I'm about to go to bed! Buenas noches, México.
Mexico Day 1 – Saturday
We made it! After about 30 hours, we arrived in Morelos. We got detained at the border and the trailer got searched, but I guess our little group wasn't too sketchy, so they let us across! Ah, it was so exciting to see all the kids again! They've all gotten so big and I can't believe how much time has passed. 51 weeks–a lot can happen in that time. Nancy, Juan, and Siuri are no longer at the home and have gone to live with their older siblings, which is happy and sad at the same time. The six college girls on the trip–Madison, Kaley, Caitlin, Jackie, Shelby, and I–are all staying in Casa 4, an adorable little blue house in the center of the land. There's no hot water, but there is air conditioning, there are walls, and the doors lock, so we have it better than most people in the city. This week my job is to help my mom and Rebecca, another lady from our church, help prepare meals for the kids! I love this job because I don't really get to cook in my dorm, so I get to see the kids a lot and do something I love! Holy cow, I love these kids. They are precious, lovable, and so so fun, and it breaks my heart to think that they were unwanted or parentless. But praise the Lord for John and Paulina, the founders of the home and an incredible reminder of how Christ took us, broken and unwanted, and showed us that we are so so loved! Well, it's time to go to bed. ¡Hasta mañana, México!

I love this little brag album. It measures 3" square when closed perfect size for a handbag brag album. Now I'm not going to give too much away in this post because I plan to teach this as a class this year at Scottie Crafts.( I have also made this album in finished size 6 by 6 inches.) Here is a taster...
Here is the undecorated album.
Love the Kaiser 6 1/2" paper pads for this project. I also love to use any of the spellbinders square dies to cut my page liners. As always I ink everything that isn't glued down.
The process of folding the album ....soooo cooool....
This little album will hold 15 plus photos.
The collectables are great for decorating the pages because they are flat and wont take up too much space the the finished album. Mine is all ready to add photos and journalling.
Decorate the front and tie with coloured seam binding. Thanks for following. See you soon. Wendy

1) Bring confidence to remove poverty – the royal heir to Congress party "Rahul Gandhi" has given a new slogan to remove poverty, "Bring Confidence to remove poverty". He feels if a person who is confident cannot be poor. Well Rahul baba you are poor for sure, but are you confident of what you say.
2) Once again planning commission is out in the open to make you laugh so much that your stomach will pain. They declared that a person earning more than Rs. 33 in urban areas and Rs. 27 in rural areas is not poor. So if a person spends more that Rs.33 or Rs.27 on himself he is not a poor person.
3) Raj Babbar speaks- If you are in Mumbai, the financial capital of India and you are hungry, you can fill your stomach with plate of rice, sambhar,daal and little bit sabzi and you just need to spend Rs.12. He was never good in his acting and the it is worse when it come to Politics.
4) Rashid Masud speaks – I don't know about Mumbai but in Delhi you can have complete meals in just Rs. 5.
I am sure if this is the condition of our politicians, India will be declared MAD country by the world.

Kids Swimwear
Finding stylish childrens swimwear
Kids' swimwear is available in the full range of variations made for adults, with a few unique additions that meet the needs of young swimmers. Juniors' swimwear for boys includes everything from swim briefs and looser-legged trunks to competition jammers and thermal wear. Both one-piece and two-piece kids' swimsuits are available for girls.
The world of children's swimwear also consists of specialized products for infants and toddlers. Swim diapers and bathing suits with thicker protective linings are available, as are items designed to protect the sensitive skin of young children from the damaging effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Juniors Swimwear Accessories for Boys and Girls
There is a long list of swim accessories available for boys and girls. Manufacturers and designers make everything from flip-flops and water shoes to swim goggles and sun hats in children's sizes.
Water safety is of particular importance when you're dealing with young children. While children can learn to swim quite well at a relatively young age, you should prioritize safety no matter how comfortable your boy or girl is in the water. Accessories such as water wings, back floats and swim sweaters are strongly recommended, as are pool toys that double as floatation devices. These products can be of great help when you're trying to get your son or daughter used to the water or improve confidence in his or her swimming abilities.
Teen Swimsuits
The worlds of adult and teen swimsuits aren't a whole lot different. For teenage boys, you'll find all the usual suspects: racing briefs, swim trunks, board shorts and Speedos are all made in sizes that accommodate the growing frames of adolescent males.
Teenage girls can get everything from modest and functional one-piece swimsuits to revealing bikinis (even though their parents may not always like it). Other swimwear separates for girls are also widely available, including tankini, halter and triangle-cut tops as well as boy-cut bikini bottoms and even thongs.
Shopping for teen swimsuits is never easy. Adolescents rarely see eye-to-eye with their parents when it comes to any kind of fashion apparel, and many parents find it easier to back off and let their kids make their own choices.

I Want Everything...Everything I cant Have!!!!
Why?? Why am i attracted to things i cant have
why am i curious to meet people i cannot ever meet
why am i inclined to do things i probably can never do
Is this a kind of temptation? am i an unsatisfied soul? i don't know
And if one fine day, out of the blue all my wishes are fulfilled
Then what will be my reaction, i will be happy, very happy...
Will i start taking things for granted and don't value them anymore
Will i start working on my wish list all over again, may be...
So the point is everyone has a wish list, some are open about it while some hide it but there is no harm in having one
As far as you are well aware of your dos and don'ts, and you know where to draw a line, you can wish for anything and everything present on this planet.
Every time i wish for something, i make sure i say this to myself
I am happy with my Life and I will never complain..
ummm... well i complain sometimes, but this is a normal human trait isn't it unless i turn into a saint some day :p
I am one of those who hide there wish list, but the other day, M asked me about my wish list and it really got me thinking, i started penning down things and its bizarre but it made me feel contented
I could imagine myself living my fantasies,
Just in case any one's feeling gloomy or you've got some time to kill try making a wish list.
8 comments:
A wish list helps indeed. And the joy you feel if some of your wishes comes true is an unbelievable feeling. :)ReplyDelete
absolutely :)ReplyDelete
haha... aree yaar..ReplyDelete
i am not attracted to things but one thing...
life is like that
well, I'm a bit greedy then :PReplyDelete
Well you know a life well lived is one where you pursue your dreams and wishes. Some don't come true but others are even better than you imagined. I have been very fortunate in my life and looking back I can see where all of my achievements started from my wish list.ReplyDelete
Follow your dreams....make it happen.
Sure i will... thanks Bobby :)ReplyDelete
I am happy with my Life and I will never complain..ReplyDelete
perfect thought
but very difficult to follow it
difficult but worth to follow :)ReplyDelete
Thanks SM..
