Marsa Al Seef is a new highlight for your trip to Dubai. It's an innovative development along the much-loved Dubai Creek that features dining, boutiques and galleries in a traditional Emirati setting.
The Al Seef development aims to seamlessly bring together the best of traditional and contemporary Emirati culture. It has quickly become a new focal point for Dubai culture and lifestyle. Since opening, it has allowed residents and visitors to enjoy the vibrant charm of old world Dubai more easily than ever before.
The development blends a unique area of heritage architecture with a neighboring contemporary space. Unlike any previous development in Dubai, it fully preserves and celebrates the rich history of Dubai, while still providing visitors with elegant, modern shopping and dining experiences.
The waterfront location means visitors can enjoy a walk and scenic water views of the atmospheric marina, the floating market or spend some downtime in one of the floating restaurants or nearby cafes. The proximity of the water to the whole area gives it a relaxed, unhurried feel; a complete change from the pace of modern Dubai.
As a neighbor of the Al Fahidi historical district, the development also aims to educate interested visitors who wish to know more about Old Dubai, beyond the skyscrapers and glitz of modern life. There's plenty to learn about local culture on a visit to Marsa Al Seef.
Here are the top 5 things to do on your visit to Al Seef:
1. Wander through the souks
Step back in time and wander through souks and sikkas, the Arabic names for markets and alleyways. In Old Dubai, these areas were frequented by the many pearl divers, tradesmen and fishermen that made their living.
The area is pedestrianized and genteel, which means you can wander at your leisure before stopping for refreshment at any one of the many traditionally-styled cafes in the area. The area is particularly conducive for unhurried evening strolls.
Witness incredible craftsmanship and detailed handiwork in one of the many live demonstrations of traditional Emirati crafts, and learn the history of the area as you meander.
2. Find some treasures to take home
The area is a fantastic place to pick up traditional souvenirs for loved ones or to purchase a memento that can be a treasured reminder of your time in Dubai. There are also stylish fashion and beauty stores for discerning shoppers.
Both traditional opulence and modern elegance are represented in Al Seef. The boutiques, open-air floating market and creekside pontoons offer the flavors of the emirates, alongside international brands.
3. Take a breathtaking dhow cruise
The view of the creek from Al Seef is spectacular, day and night. It's a perfect place to take a breather and admire the view mid-morning or afternoon. Or, you could easily spend a romantic evening gazing at the reflections of city lights on the water.
Possibly even more magical is to take to the water itself on a dhow cruise. Dubai Creek is central to the city's heritage and to the new Al Seef development. A trip aboard a dhow, a traditional sea vessel, allows you to fully experience the ambiance of the area.
4. Stay in an Arabian-style hotel
Checking in to a traditional Arabian style hotel is the perfect complement to your visit to Dubai and Al Seef.
Traditional Arabian architecture typically features courtyards to provide plenty of shade to shield occupants from the intense glare of the sun. Indoor features are luxurious, beautiful and subtle. This means a traditional-style hotel has a calm, intimate feel that is perfect for a relaxing or romantic break.
5. Visit during festival time
To make your visit to Al Seef even more magical, you could try to time your visit to coincide with one of the many festivals celebrated in the area.
The Ramadan Night Market and Eid-Al-Fitr are particularly interesting times to arrive, with plenty of special events to enjoy. The Sikka Art Fair at Al Seef in March and Dubai Shopping Festival in late December and January are also noteworthy.
To see big celebrations, visit on National Day in the UAE every December 2. In all of Dubai, Al Seef is the perfect place to be so you can witness a showcase of traditional performances and cultural activities that celebrate the heritage of this particular emirate.
Stylish Al Seef has something for everyone to enjoy, whether you are looking for unique shopping experiences, culture and heritage, or a venue for some relaxing downtime in a picturesque setting.

Local group's Zimbabwe mission sees year of success
An organization dedicated to ending hunger in Zimbabwe recently hosted its annual dinner at the Lycoming Valley Baptist Church.
Christie Heimbach, co-founder of 2 Seconds or Less (2SOL), said the banquet raised over $10,000 and brought in about 130 people.
Heimbach, a graduate of Hughesville Junior-Senior High School, said she was pleased with the turnout. "This is our 'go to' church. This is our family and this church is pretty much the reason (2SOL) exists," Heimbach said, adding that 2SOL was able to sign up "five new reoccurring donors."
"It shows people are interested in a partnership with us (and) it is a good affirmation that they trust in the work we are doing," she said.
The organization began in 2012 when Heimbach and Kelsey Hare traveled to Zimbabwe and met Patrick Makokoro, founder of Nhaka, another organization dedicated to empowering the people of Zimbabwe.
She explained that 2SOL's name came from the fact that "approximately every two seconds, someone in the world dies of malnutrition."
To prevent this, 2SOL works to "to break cycles of poverty through the creation of educational gardens at schools in Zimbabwe (and) … give U.S. students opportunities for global engagement that unifies and builds bridges between cultures, thus growing their capacity for intentional and emphatic leadership."
Heimbach said since 2SOL's 2017 banquet at Loyalsock Valley Baptist Church, the organization has helped build two gardens in two different schools that feed over a thousand students. It also build two wells and was able to take two teams from the United States to Zimbabwe.
"One group had 14 people and the another group had 23," Heimbach said.
For the next year to come, Heimbach said the goal is to raise $90,000 for a rig to drill wells. She said this will allow wells to be dug in remote villages for far less cost.
A Doylestown-based pastor and Zimbabwe transplant, Pastor Rob Chifokoyo, praised 2SOL for its efforts in the past year. He said because of its vision, he joined the board of directors almost a year ago
"(It has) been a bridge builders to communities that are not normally reached by missionary organizations (and it has) made strides into going to more rural areas and empowering those communities and having a vision that says working with children who are tomorrow's leaders," Chifokoyo said.
He said one of the biggest challenges the organization faces is getting things accomplished in Zimbabwe's political climate. In 2017, former leader Robert Mugabe resigned after having been in power since 1980. Since then, the country has been working to rebuild its government.
"For such a young organization to navigate the economic strife and get the money where it is needed, is a task in and of itself," Chifokoyo said.
Yet the organization has persisted, because the mission is a much needed one, he said.
"I have seen a lot of well-meaning organizations come (to Africa) and give money and the project fails when the organizations pulls out. (With 2SOL) there is not a dependence model but rather an independent model," Chifokoyo said.
He explained that 2SOL's approach is to empower Zimbabwe locals.
"(The poor of Zimbabwe) do not have a lack of desire to lift themselves up and people. (The issue is) that they lack the tools and the means and relationships. (2SOL) asks, 'What do you need?" Chifokyo said and added that 2SOL works to provide it.
Heimabach said it is important for the locals to be led by the locals.
"The locals are the heroes in this and we continue to support them," Heimbach said. However, she said 2SOL is able to support the people in Zimbabwe thanks to people like the those who attend Loyalsock Valley Baptist Church.

[All in the same boat: a qualitative study of patients' attitudes and experiences in group acupuncture clinics Online First doi 10.1136/acupmed-2012-01050]
Acupuncture can relieve the pain of knee osteoarthritis and offer a low cost alternative to surgery for the condition, finds research published online in Acupuncture in Medicine.
The researchers base their findings on 90 patients with knee osteoarthritis, who were referred for group acupuncture to two knee pain clinics in St Albans, Hertfordshire, in 2008 and subsequently monitored for two years.
Fifty patients said they would be prepared to have surgery; four said they would only have the operation as a last resort; and 29 said they did not want surgery. They were given acupuncture once a week for a month after which the frequency was reduced to a session every six weeks.
Each patient received an average of 16.5 treatments.
From the British Medical Journal. Full article available here
NICE (the UK's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence) has published new clinical guidelines on the treatment of headaches. They conclude that acupuncture is effective for the prevention of tension-type headaches and migraine, and should be prescribed by doctors. NICE also estimates that overuse of painkillers is one of the most common causes of headache, affecting about one in fifty people. Taking aspirin, paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen for more than 15 days a month can initiate a vicious cycle where headaches get worse, so sufferers take more painkillers, which make the headaches even worse. (Headaches: diagnosis and management of headaches in young people and adults. NICE Clinical guidelines, CG150: Sept 2012, publications.nice.org.uk/headaches-cg150/guidance).

Here it is April already. Where has the time gone. March was crammed full with various things including my pilot class. I still don't have all the revisions done yet but one student has her piece completed!
We have watched the weather fo from the 80's to the 30's during the last month. And that was just in 24 hours too! Tornados have been plentiful as well as rain. Now I'm hoping that Easter day will be pleasant.
I seem to be far behind in lots of thing and yet barely keepahead of deadlines. Makes me wonder what I have forgotten. I will try to post more in April. It still has a lot on the schedule but the upcoming week-end (Easter) is for relaxing and enjoying family.
Happy Easter !

What Is Bowen Therapy?
Bowtech, the original Bowen Technique, is a gentle form of body work where subtle moves are performed over the muscles and connective tissue sending messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory of a preferred relaxed, balanced way of wellbeing. Results can be remarkable, even from the first session; often only a few sessions are needed to correct the presenting problem.
Whether your body or life is speaking to you with a physical illness, or emotional upset every symptom represents emotional experiences buried within the subconsious mind which manifest in the physical body as symptoms, disease, pain and emotional upset.
- Physical Issues -
Neck & back pain
Arm & shoulder pain
Respiratory issues
Jaw tension / sinus / headaches
Hip / buttock, groin and sciatic pain
Hamstring / thigh / knee complaints
Menstrual / hormonal imbalance
- Emotional Issues -
Anxiety/depression, feeling numb
Feelings of lethargy/rundown
How Does Bowen Therapy Work?
There are frequent but essential pauses throughout the session that allow the body time to respond and begin the healing process. The practitioner can target a specific problem or address the body as a whole. The technique addresses not only the musculoskeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. The body's integrated response improves circulation and lymphatic drainage and aids the assimilation of nutrients and elimination of toxins.
Bowen Body Mind is a powerful modality which assists the body to release trauma, effortlessly. It is still 'Bowen Therapy' yet only minimal movements are applied to the body with long pauses. The sessions are long with very important breaks, which allow the body to process that which it is ready to let go of. On the right is a client, hands resting on lap, whom started to organically unravel trauma, her hands were twitching, fingers jumping and hands moving inches in the air. This was probably related to when she was born, (apparenty her mother endured a long labour, forceps were used). If you have any queries please feel free to contact me.
Is Bowen Therapy Right For Me?
The original Bowen Technique is very gentle and is considered appropriate for anyone from pregnant women, to newborn babies, the frail and the elderly. It can assist recovery from many conditions, from traumatic injury to chronic illness, depending upon each individual's capacity to heal. No adverse side effects have been reported.

2013 Native Plant Sale & Expo- 20 Years and Still Going Strong
Spring had a splendid day planned for our Native Plant Sale and Expo this year with an abundant supply of sunshine, happy plant goers, and tons of conservation opportunities! Our annual sale is one of the biggest in the county, offering low-cost, native bare root plants and groundcovers. Over the years, the event has expanded from a small sale at the WCD's office in Lynden to a large event that includes local plant nurseries and environmental organizations. This year, plant sales and accompanying educational outreach was complemented by face painting and music from our community's youth, food, and fun – a day the whole family could enjoy.
The past three years we have partnered with Whatcom Community College, holding the sale on campus, at the Roe Studio. We couldn't make it happen without the help and support of WCC and their grounds crew, local businesses, and the community. The 19th Annual Sale and Expo once again successfully educated the community and promoted stewardship of Whatcom County's natural resources. This spring, over 16,000 native plants will be planted throughout Whatcom County!
Here's what you all told us you're doing with your native plants (from survey):
70 – Wildlife & Pollinator Habitats installed.
33 – Hedgerows and/or Windbreaks installed.
77 – Landscapes enhanced with native plants.
12 – Buffers installed on Small Farms.
23 – Forest stands improved.
17 – Erosion control projects installed or enhanced.
12 – Riparian Forest Buffers installed or enhanced.
14 – Wetlands restored or enhanced.
8 – Other – from replacing blackberries to permaculture
Special thanks to our Partner and host Whatcom Community College

Shad Johnson's Vintage BMX Collection
I made this video for ESPN a couple weeks ago. Shad runs the BMX shop, Goods, here in Portland, and has a ton of cool old stuff around the shop that I end up poking through every time I'm in there. He's in the middle of remodeling the shop, and starting to sell vintage stuff as well as new on the shop floor. Take a look inside.

Topic: [Solved] Gparted partition question
I am running Ubuntu 18.4.2 LTS
My primary disk is an SSD /dev/sda
I added a second hard drive to be my backup (its not a SSD).
Anyway, it appears in GParted as /dev/sdb1
When I initially setup the partition I selected the default "msdos"
I then created an extended partition (the size shows 465.76 GiB) is also shows /dev/sdb1
Next I selected the unallocated space and then created a Logical Partition with the file system ext4 and it shows /dev/sdb5
I have rebooted. I cannot Mount it for some reason. Have i done something out of line?

It's made of injection molded polymer primarily with just a bare minimum of metal - the barrel, some action parts, springs, sights, firing pin etc. Read about it in Guns & Ammo and they say the MSRP is $250. The gun is made in Turkey and will work with Ruger 10/22 mags. Anyone seen one yet? Anybody with any experience with one? Here is a media picture:

Moses Lee was thinking. Here he was, program director for research and science at the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, a man with an unbridled passion for science and a philanthropic pot of money needing a good home.
His task? To find a way to advance science research at four-year colleges in the Pacific Northwest region that the peregrinating Canadian native had come to call his second home.
So what to do? He picks up the phone and makes five calls to five university researchers. Some of them live hundreds of miles apart, all are at different stages in their careers, and most have never met. They don't even all work in the same field.
There were the chemists: Carlisle Chambers at George Fox University; Andrea Munro at Pacific Lutheran University; and Mark Bussell and David Patrick at Western Washington University. Then there was the lone physicist: Amy Spivey at University of Puget Sound.
"Out of the blue, Moses called each of us," says Spivey. "He said, 'I'm trying to bring together a group of scientists who do research with undergraduate students to collaborate. I would love for you to meet and see what ideas you can come up with.'" The prospect of a $240,000, three-year grant and some exciting work for their students no doubt sent a few test tubes crashing to the ground.
Read the full story on the University of Puget Sound's website:

Engine revs itself to redline
Vedad1944 posted a topic in Engine, Transmission and ExhaustHello everyone! I've had quite the adventure in the past two years driving this car. It's quite the old car, but I kind of like the character these have. Problems pop up, and go away over time, most of them ignorable, but this one was a nasty surprise. I drive 1995 Ibiza 6K with a 1.4 8v ABD. I know, I know, it's not a Polo 6N but they're very similar so I was hoping if someone would help me here. All of the other SEAT-related forums seem to be just related to the newest cars or just downright dead. No help whatsoever. :/ I once again apologize for it not being a Polo, I just can't find anyone with this specific problem. What happened prior to the problem: The other day, the weather is damp, and the car started oscillating it's revs in a rhythmic way between 750 and 1200 rpm (idle and warm up revs), it is about to stall, but then it gives itself some throttle and goes to 1200 but then stalls to about 750 and throttles itself again until I intervene with a quick blip of the throttle and it goes away. It was odd, and enough to get my attention. After about a month, I decided to reset my ECU, so I disconnect the battery overnight and after 24 hrs I reconnect it and start the car. I let it run and it got down to 750. 10 minutes later, down the road, I stop my car at a stoplight, and it starts oscillating again, I blip the throttle, and it just revs itself to redline! It does not take any throttle input anymore, and I just cut the ignition. I start it up again, and it revs itself again to redline. I was afraid to dump the clutch to see if it would keep going, but I pushed the car to the side of the road and tried to see what was going on. The mechanic replaces the throttle actuator, and it went away for 15 minutes. Second replacement, 600RPM and it was away for 10 minutes, then the 3rd one was okay for 3 weeks. Now, I was having some short-lived fun, where I used full throttle, the car pulled no problem from 2000rpm to 5000rpm. And 2 minutes after that, at a carpark it's idle went from 750 to 1000, and when I tried parking, it again went to redline, same problem, whatever I try (it was wet outside again). When I turn the ignition on, the butterfly valve is wide open, is it supposed to be like that? I've searched high and low for answers, from one forum to the next, 2003 to 2015, I've learned how Monomotronic/Jetronic is supposed to work, what inputs it takes in, how it operates and whatnot. My mechanic has a parts car, so I can get replacements right away, I just don't want to burn a hole in my pocket (it's charred as it is :/) The car sits for 3-5 hrs and the problem goes away, but I'm afraid to make any longer journey in it. Can the actuator even push the throttle body all the way to wide-open? Could the ECU be knackered? I understand that all it takes is a small short circuit between the contacts on the ECU and the actuator goes out all the way, but W.O.T.? No way. I'm lucky it's not an automatic. If anyone can help me narrow down the possible problems, I would be very grateful! I have heaps more info I got from observation research of the car, but no-one had a W.O.T. problem like I do. P.S. The MPG was usually 26, but during winter it drops to 14. Any help with that would be good as well!

Let me first start out by saying I'm not one of those Christians who claim to hear from God all the time. To be honest, God has never audibly spoke to me, but I always know when He's speaking. I hope that makes sense.
It was last February (2013). I can't remember where I was, or what I was doing. I suddenly had what I thought was a regular thought: "Don't talk to any men for an entire month". Where did that thought come from? I immediately dismissed it. A few days later the same thought came to me, but this time it was different: "You shouldn't be talking to any men this month." This time I knew this was indeed the Lord speaking to me, but there was one major problem that was quite confusing: I ALREADY WASN'T TALKING TO ANY MEN. I didn't have a boyfriend, boo, or random. There was NO ONE. Who was I supposed to not talk to? Nevertheless, I concluded with only speaking to the men in my family during what I was now calling a "man fast". If I only knew what the next 30 days had in store for me.
I seriously can not make this stuff up. A different man reached out to me almost EVERYDAY during my 30 day man fast. I would literally go to work and show a new message to my roommate & co-worker. They were aware of my man fast and couldn't believe what was happening as well. I can honestly say it wasn't hard not talking to these men, although I did wonder about their intentions. It became clear that God was doing something, which encouraged me to simply be obedient.
Guard thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
Boy oh boy, I am a bit too familiar with this scripture. This had become my go-to scripture whenever I became frustrated with dating. Realizing I'm a sucker for love, I saw exactly why the Lord informed me to refrain from talking to men during that time. Can you imagine my heart being pulled in a million directions? I would have been entertaining a plethora of men, who clearly were not my future husband. I guess the Lord decided to help me guard my heart, since I wasn't exactly a pro at it. Isn't he such a great Father?
Last February I didn't talk to men, this February I'm engaged…
Obedience is always better. In April (2013) my soon to be husband started reaching out to me. Sometimes I wonder where would I be if I had decided to ignore the nudge of God. I can't imagine missing out on the awesome blessing of marrying Mr. Stephen. Seriously, I can go on & on for days about how amazing my man is. But the best part is, I submitted myself to God, and allowed HIM (and only him) to write my love story.
Sisters… Has God called you to give up something? DO. IT. My former pastor always says God isn't trying to take something from you, He's trying to give something to you. God wasn't trying to take me away from men, he was trying to prepare me for my soon to be, only husband. Get it? Good. Now completely trust the Father.
UPDATE! I now have an ebook available entitled "The 30 Day Man Fast". To purchase, click here.

7 top investment tips to start applying now
Although it is important to make the best of your finances, it is even more important to avoid losing what you already have. If you follow a few basic investment guidelines you increase your chances of making profit. Follow these 7 golden rules and make wiser decisions!
- Start small
Do not invest all your capital at once. A few small loses are better than a big one. If you want to check a new business or investment direction, first put it on a trial: try selling what you interested to invest in, and see how the market reacts and measure the extend of the demand. Only then you can estimate more accurately if the investment worth it, and start investing –gradually!
- Invest in necessity
Supply and demand on most products and services are subjects to change. For a smart investment, choose what will always be on high request: people will always want to make money, to survive, to be better than the rest and avoid pain and boredom. Those are basic human needs that are never doing to reach full satiation. Make sure you invest in a business grounded on a basic need – and you will always have steady demand.
- Slow down
Your investment starts to show profits? Great! Now take your foot off the pedal a bit. Once you make a profit – you at a greater risk of losing it. From this point, each decision need to be carefully made to keep what you already earned. Speed can be your enemy – keeping on a high pace can result in a loss.
- Take chances
You cannot afford sitting around doing nothing, expecting the safest opportunity to arrive. Life is short and we have a limited amount of time to make money and enjoy it. So, if an opportunity presents itself – jump on it! it is better to have 500$ a month than 1000$ a year.
- Be careful who you listen to
The people around you will always have an opinion on everything you do. Most of them will try to teach you what to do with your money, how to invest it etc. If you try to follow up on everybody's advices, you will end up broke. Pick carefully who you are listening to and take advices only from the successful people who can show you actual results.
- know when to stop
If you keep investing and nothing comes out of it – maybe it is time to let go. Consider the lost money as a tuition. There is no point in trying desperately to save a bad investment – you will end up losing more. It is part of the game. Just put it behind you and keep going.
- Set high bars
The only way to grow is to look up on the those above you. Aim to reach the top by choosing a big company as a competitor. It will make you be more creative; competition with a big company will add you more value, while give you time: big company will not see a rival in you, what gives you the advantage of the time. You will learn how to be more unique.

The Atago features many outstanding details which make it unique." says Jonas Taureck, the CEO of Petromax.
Set up well: Ready to use with just one hand
Holding and setting up the Petromax Atago, you will already feel its extremely robust and durable quality. The Petromax Atago is set up in no time and with just one hand, thanks to its unique folding mechanism. Retracting the Atago is just as fast. With a height of only 5.9 in when retracted, it takes up minimum storage space.
Effective heating up with the chimney effect
Charcoal, charcoal briquettes and wood can be used to start a fire. The continuously adjustable ventilation allows you to regulate the temperature as desired and, with the air supply fully open, the Petromax Atago is heated up in no time. Thanks to its highly elaborate design, the chimney effect is used optimally. The intelligent ventilation further promotes the wood boiler principle, whereby the Petromax Atago is heated up very efficiently and requires little fuel.
Unique double-walled design
The Petromax Atago is made of stainless steel with a double-walled design, which makes it not only appealing but also effectively isolates the burning chamber while keeping the outer wall cool, even after a longer use. The Petromax Atago radiates little heat at the bottom. With its three feet, it will be stable on any ground.
Three in one: The basic functions of the Petromax Atago
The Petromax Atago with its three basic functions is perfectly fitted for the Petromax product world.
Petromax Atago as a grill
The Petromax Atago can be used as a classical grill. Once the fire is started with charcoal or briquettes, it is quickly heated up thanks to the chimney effect. A matching grilling grate and charcoal grate are included in the scope of delivery.
Petromax Atago as an oven or stove
The Petromax Atago is an efficient and versatile cooking place. It is best used in combination with the cast-iron Dutch Ovens by Petromax up to size ft9, which fit into the inner cylinder of the Petromax Atago and are placed directly on the ember. The Dutch Ovens of size ft6 and ft9 are ideal as they are flush with the Atago which ensures an optimum heat yield with its good isolation. The Loaf Pans are used in the same way to bake bread or cake or to prepare casseroles. The Atago is also perfectly suited to be used with Ring Cake Pans or the Petromax Percolator to prepare coffee. On top of the round opening of the Petromax Atago, the pans quickly reach the perfect cooking temperature and, in combination with the Petromax Fire Bowls, the Atago becomes a Plancha grill.
Petromax Atago as a fire bowl
After having used the all-rounder to prepare the dinner, a camp fire for a cosy evening can be started directly in the Petromax Atago, which makes it a practical and safe fire bowl. The Atago can be used as fire bowl when being extracted as well as retracted.
Accessories for more possibilities
With the perfectly matched convection lid, the Petromax Atago will be a convection oven. The circulating heat provides for even and energy-saving baking and cooking outdoors. Thanks to the coated inside and the close-meshed aramid fibres, heat can hardly escape which ensures a constant cooking behaviour and even allows for baking pizza, also in the open air. Petromax also provides a matching bag for clean and convenient transport and storage of the Petromax Atago.

Edited March 12, 2015: Because Ed Sheeran is in Manila, we're spreading the love today with some of the singer's sweetest songs. Add your favorite lyrics in the comments section below!
Should this be the last thing I see,
I want you to know it's enough for me
'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need.
- "Tenerife Sea"
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now.
-"Lego House"
And your heart's against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with a feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now.
-"Kiss Me"
Give me love like never before,
'Cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same.
-"Give Me Love"
Darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am.
-"Thinking Out Loud"
Take my hand and my
Heart and soul, I will
Only have these eyes for you.
Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And is the only thing
That I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it's the only thing we take with us when we die.
I could look into your eyes
Until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped In light and life and love
Put your open lips on mine
And slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together
-"Afire Love"

MOAH Earrings of Sterling Silver, Amethyst and Zircon, MOAHE22
These dangler earrings are set with amazing Amethyst exuding beauty with their enchanting purple colour. These are great to wear to work, to light parties, or just like that. The earrings will look great in all seasons. They will look extra special if you want to wear that summary look.
Gem Lore : Gems are nature's gift to us. They are said to have healing properties. Amethyst healing properties are as plentiful as the stone itself. It is thought of mostly as a protective stone. As it is linked to the crown chakra, it is helpful in purifying the mind and clearing it of negative thoughts. This includes the negativity of stress and anxiety, which is why many meditate with amethyst so as to rid themselves of that darkness. Amethyst healing properties are especially useful in regards to work-related stress, because the stone is also associated with abundance; therefore relieving stress while emanating prosperity. The amethyst properties which facilitate intuition and communication can also be applied to increased work effectiveness.
This is a handcrafted product and may differ somewhat from the image. We will update you about the timelines.

A few heartbeats away lies the holiday season. I know, I know. Just the mention of it covers your now rapidly-beating heart with a blanket of stress. Gifts. Parties. Decorations. Events. Dinners. So much to do in so little time.
I'd like to slow your heart rate for a few minutes with a thought that might encourage you to breathe a little deeper and offer up a sigh of relief as we jet toward 2019. (Go ahead, and take a breath now.)
We will soon exit the frightful month of October. Has it been a scary one for you? Or, have the months leading up to October been frustrating? Have significant changes jumped out at you or have unforeseen circumstances caught you by surprise? Maybe, you've been scared out of your ever-loving mind by the overwhelming number of Satan's fiery darts you've had to dodge. Are you looking forward to some thanksgiving, peace and joy, and a happier new year?
In Freedom for the Good Little Church Girl I made a statement that was actually more of a confession:
"They've [good little church girls and boys] grown so accustomed to constantly striving, that lives lived without the strain seem almost irreverent."
While that quote addresses the problem of trying to earn our salvation, many Christians and non-Christians alike currently live under so much stress that inner conflict has become our default mechanism. Many Christians have forgotten what peace feels like – if they ever truly knew. Whenever their minds experience even the smallest release of tension, some of them begin to look for something to worry about or fret over. In some warped kind of way, they miss the tension to which they've grown accustomed. Let's face it, for most of us it's become harder and harder to relax our minds. Peace, though a necessity for a soul-satisfied Christian, has become an elusive promise.
A couple of weeks ago at a Beth Moore conference I bought the shirt pictured above. "Just Breathe" seemed like a great tagline to remind me of my newly-formed attitude. Philippians 4:6-7 says:
"Don't worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."
It was the word THANKSGIVING that caught my attention. It convicted me of the fact that I forfeited my peace when I forgot to be thankful. I looked at my circumstances and saw a tsunami of devastating unrest when I should have looked at my Jesus standing peacefully in the middle of the surging wave. Had my eyes been fixed on Him, I would have remembered to thank Him for all the times He had stayed with me and restored my peace. Focusing on His calmness in those past painful moments would have more quickly restored my confidence knowing that He could and would do it again. And, had I spent more time with the people He sent to love on me rather than isolating myself, I would have thanked Him and them sooner and more passionately for their hugs, smiles, and encouraging words of wisdom.
Today, the thankfulness I've most recently discovered may be wearing out the little army God sent to my rescue. I sure hope they don't mind being overwhelmed with gratitude. Expressing my thanks helps me focus on whatsoever things are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and praiseworthy. (Philippians 4:8) I doubt God gets tired of hearing our thanks because He knows our willingness to be thankful allows our minds the opportunity to rest peacefully.
Your worries can be defeated by giving them to God with prayers of thanksgiving. Thankful prayers produce peace. And the peace that passes all understanding will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. That's a never-ending cycle of promises you can count on; so just breathe!
If no one has thanked you yet for anything today, let me be the first! Thank you for traveling with me here at Perfection Road every Tuesday. You've become part of my larger army! Thank you for sharing my stories with others. Thank you for your encouraging words and thoughtful comments. Thank you for reading and sharing Freedom for the Good Little Church Girl. Most of all, thank you for your prayers. I know exactly how Paul felt about the Philippians because I feel the same way about you!
"I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Indeed, it is right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, and you are all partners with me in grace." (Philippians 1:3-7a)
Ahhhh! Thanksgiving! Peace and joy! In October! Let's celebrate!

Vacant land: major building defects exception10/01/2020 by Liz Gibbs
The building defects saga that's happening all around Australia has understandably caused public uproar and forced state governments to act. It is unsurprising then that this issue was at the forefront of the Federal government's attention when it decided to enact an exception to disallowing deductions for holding vacant land. Having the exception available provides peace of mind to investors that if things do go wrong in a major way, they will not lose the ability to negatively gear their property.
As a testament to the far-reaching consequences of recent residential building defects crisis, the government has recently decided to change the legislation on vacant land deductions to exclude structures affected by natural disasters or other exceptional circumstances such as substantial building defects.
Previously, the government had sought to crack down on "land banking" by disallowing expenses, such as interest costs incurred in holding vacant land from 1 July 2019. Basically, any land that did not have a substantial permanent structure on it would be captured. The term substantial permanent structure does not include any premises that is being constructed or substantially renovated unless the premises are able to be lawfully occupied.
Therefore, under the legislation as it was originally written, investors who held defective units in buildings all around Australia would've had their expenses disallowed. These expenses could not be carried forward for use in later income years, with only some expenses allowed to be included in the cost base of the land for CGT purposes.
After the scale of the building defects debacle became known, the government decided to provide an exception to disallowing deductions for holding vacant land for those affected. For the exception to apply, there must've been a substantial and permanent structure on the land prior to the time the exceptional circumstance occurs, and the circumstance must be exceptional and beyond the reasonable control of the taxpayer.
Under the exception, investors holding structures affected by natural disasters or other exceptional circumstances (ie substantial building defects) are allowed deductions for three years from the date the event occurred.
The Commissioner may also extend the three-year period if the failure to replace the structure is beyond the control of the taxpayer or due to the size of the structure, it is unable to be realistically completed on time.
The exceptional circumstances exception can apply to any unusual events or occurrences (ie major building fires, floods and discovery of asbestos) not just substantial building defects. However, the exceptional circumstance must not be caused by the investor/investors and there must've been nothing a reasonable person in that position should have reasonably done to prevent the circumstance (ie outside the reasonable control of the investor/investors).
Therefore, this exception would not apply to investors suffering financial hardship due to renovations that do not affect the structure, and those investors may not be able to deduct any costs associated with holding what is considered to be "vacant land". If you're unlucky enough to have to use this exception, you must keep written records of the exceptional circumstance (and their effect on the structure) until the fifth anniversary of the end of the income year in in which you first deducted the loss.
Not sure whether this applies to you?
Etched into the collective consciousness of Sydney-siders is the building defects saga of Opal and Mascot towers. The investors in these buildings, along with many others all around Australia may benefit from this measure. If you have a residential investment that may have defects but are not sure whether this can apply to you, we can help, contact us today.
