In our Let's Start Talking project, we often repeat Luke stories because we sometimes meet with six or seven readers a day. Thus we teach the same lessons multiple times. The questions and answers, however, are not the same. For example, lesson four is about Jesus staying in the temple in Jerusalem to talk and listen with religious leaders. His parents on their way home don't know this and think he is lost.
One of the questions I often ask the reader after reading this story is, "Have you ever been lost?" Usually the answers center around being lost in a store or at a festival. This middle-aged reader we will call Leo thought for a moment and in his limited English said, "Yes, a long time ago." I wasn't clear on what that meant, so I asked him more about the situation. I quickly realized he was talking about being lost spiritually! He said he eventually found Jesus and is no longer lost. That answer surprised me, but I realized he had made an excellent point.
I have preached many sermons on the crucifixion and events surrounding it. Yesterday with another reader I was talking about how the blood of Jesus takes away our sins because he died on the cross.
Then he asked, "How does the blood take away your sins?" Finding words to give a clear and accurate answer to one who is newly learning about Jesus was for me very difficult. What seemed logical in a sermon no longer seemed to fit this young and curious reader. How does the blood of a person who was killed 2000 years save us today? I did not do a very good job. Since our reading together, I have been mulling over a better answer so I will be prepared when that question is asked again.
Since many readers have a limited knowledge of the Bible and all are from a different culture, finding the right answer and responding to an unexpected answer certainly keep me from growing weary of doing the same lesson multiple times.

This is the game I had been playing with my throw pillows on my couch for, oh around a month after the couch arrived. The game should more accurately be titled: Where's the throw pillows? You see, I am in love with brown…dark rich chocolate brown! So naturally after couch hunting for some time we decided on a big comfy brown sectional that would fit my 6'4 hubby and me perfectly. Here is where the dilemma comes in – the throw pillows that came with the couch were awful! They went immediately to the garage because I couldn't stand them even being in my living room. But have no fear! I happened to have four nice throw pillows that I had accumulated over the years that would go nicely with the couch. These pillows happened to be….you guessed it, dark rich chocolate brown! For several months we had a couch that looked like this:
Yes, you could barely tell we had pillows and it looked like a disaster. BUT being on a budget crunch I felt I had little options when it came to buying new, due to my thoroughly disappointing trip to Pier 1 Imports. This trip ended in me finding some "eehhh these are ok" pillows for $40.00 a pop. If you do the math that means to adequately pillow my couch it would run me $160.00. After my slight heart attack I figured there must be some other way! That's when I ran across a little tutorial similar to this one at From An Igloo that would be the answer I needed. Ahh, it was so obvious the whole time! The solution to my dilemma was sewing me up some throw pillow covers. And, since I am so close to an outlet fabric store I wasted no time getting my butt over there. I wanted to buy upholstery fabric so it was thicker and more durable, but I fell in love with these outdoor fabrics. As a general rule you can use any fabric for throw pillow covers so I didn't let the fact that it was outdoor fabric stop me!
This fabric had just the deep blues and bright greens I had envisioned for my living room! Plus, at $3.99 a yard on super clearance that meant this fabric was easy on my wallet too! I chose to mix a smaller geometric patter with a larger floral patter to give the pillows some visual interest. The fabrics complement each other because they have coordinating colors, but the different styles of patterns make them a funky pair. The total for the fabric was around $16.00 and it covered my four pillows with a little to spare. The icing on the cake though, was that a week later I found this same fabric at JoAnn's Fabrics for around $35.00 a yard – major victory for me! After enlisting the free help of my mom to sew me up some covers this is what I got:
The back gaps a bit at times, making it look like a couple of mummy eyes, so it is an option to tack it closed with a couple of small stitches. However if you pull the back seams together they look pretty good and will stay closed for awhile. Otherwise, the tutorial by From An Igloo has a thicker seam on the back that helps prevent the backs from opening up as much.
I was happy that the pillows coordinated with my floating shelves. I can see my color scheme in the living room finally coming together. So with the throw pillow situation figured out it is on to the next project: the blah coffee table! Check back for an update on the coffee table re-do!

In her new musical The Assassination of Katie Hopkins, Chris Bush explores the polarising effect of Twitter and Facebook on public debate. She tells Natasha Tripney why theatre must embrace the language of online forums
If you spend much time on social media, as playwright and theatremaker Chris Bush admits she has of late – partly out of habit and partly in the name of research – the world can seem like an angrier place than it really is.
Everyone is so confident in their opinions, she says, and those opinions tend towards the extreme. People don't tend to send tweets acknowledging that there are valid points on both sides. "The distillation of opinion online doesn't do anyone any favours," she says. "It's dehumanising. We make this distinction between online and real life – but it's all real life."
The Assassination of Katie Hopkins, the new musical by Bush and her co-writer Matt Winkworth, is an attempt to explore the politics of outrage in the age of social media. Before it has even opened at Theatr Clwyd in Mold, it's been a source of controversy, with Hopkins herself wading into the debate. "As a straight, white, conservative I am an acceptable target," she tweeted after the work was announced.
It's satisfyingly circular that this is exactly this kind of controversy that Bush and Winkworth have set out to explore. Their show is about the "dehumanisation of figures in the public eye, particularly contentious figures. We think that we know these people but we only have a very small idea of who they are."
The musical uses Hopkins' death as the basis of a satire on outrage and how it can be fuelled by social media. Early in the process, they decided to make it in the style of verbatim theatre. "Verbatim as a form is problematic because it presents itself as absolute truth." In this way, she explains, the form and the subject of the show are well suited.
Bush grew up in Sheffield, "in the glory days of Michael Grandage", and theatre was part of her upbringing. "In a very precocious way, I wrote my first play when I was 13." Her work was selected by the National Young Playwrights' Festival. "At that age seeing your work done by real actors in a real theatre was formative and I thought that's what I'm going to do."
She attended the University of York because of its drama department's reputation. There she wrote Tony! The Blair Musical with composer Ian McCluskey. They took the show to Edinburgh just after Bush graduated and the show opened just as Blair stepped down. "We rode this insane wave of publicity and I thought my career was made." It didn't quite work out this way. She adds: "For five years I felt I was treading water."
As part of the Pearson Playwrights' Scheme, Bush contributed to the show 20 Tiny Plays About Sheffield in 2013. Following that, Daniel Evans, then artistic director of Sheffield Theatres, approached her to work on the Sheffield Mysteries, an ambitious community project for Sheffield People's Theatre. Bush speaks passionately about community theatre.
What was your first non-theatre job?
A short-lived temp job picking shoe boxes in a warehouse.
What was your first professional theatre job?
Working front of house at the Grand Opera House, York. My first full commission was The Sheffield Mysteries for the Crucible in 2014.
What is your next job?
Pericles at the National Theatre in August.
What do you wish someone had told you when you were starting out?
It'll take time. I had, and still have, no patience.
Who is your biggest influence?
Probably Caryl Churchill, for her constant need to innovate. Also Alice Birch, Elinor Cook, David Greig, Caroline Horton, Mark O'Rowe and TEAM.
Do you have any theatrical superstitions or rituals?
Not really, although I try to avoid saying 'good luck' as I'm aware some people don't like it.
"It's vital for any theatre that considers itself to be serving its community to be doing work like this. If community work is to have value then the community needs to be front and centre," she says, adding that Sheffield People's Theatre is "setting the bar for large-scale community work".
Bush followed the Mysteries with A Dream, a Shakespearean mash-up performed by a cast of 80 local residents. Last year's People's Theatre production, What We Wished For, took characters from myth and legend and placed them in a contemporary setting. "Part of me is heartbroken I'm not doing it this summer," she says. This is because she's been commissioned by the National Theatre to create its first Public Acts production, an adaptation of Pericles for the Olivier, employing a large community ensemble alongside a small cast of professional actors.
The polarisation of public debate clearly fascinates Bush. Earlier this year, Bush contributed a short play to The Words Are Coming Now, Theatre503's season exploring consent and power.
The Words Are Coming Now review at Theatre503, London – 'thought-provoking, nuanced new writing'
"It's brilliant that we are starting to have conversations in a slightly more public forum than we have in the past," she says. "It's like we're learning a new language, though. There's a caginess around the debate. We all have a voice at the back of our heads saying: 'Is my opinion acceptable in this space?' But I absolutely resist and am infuriated by talk of things going too far. It's a vital discussion. If it results in a burning of idols that's arguably a necessary thing."
Bush met Winkworth through the Perfect Pitch awards, an initiative to develop new contemporary British musicals. They won the award for Odd, a contemporary adaptation of Homer's Odyssey seen through the eyes of a teenage girl. Though Bush doesn't "like Sondheim as much as [Winkworth] thinks is necessary, other than that we're on the same level. We want to make the same kind of work and tell the same kind of stories."
Bush has had no direct communication with Hopkins in the run-up to the opening of the musical. "We made the choice early on that we didn't want to ask permission." And she is aware that the musical is generating more publicity for Hopkins, but "we've made our peace with that".
"She's not stupid. She's wilfully misinterpreting what we've clearly stated the show is about." Bush says: "If the show ends up humanising her and makes people think about her differently, I wonder if that might infuriate her the most. She is not someone who trades on nuance – nuance is what might defeat her."

2 'Maestro' Reviews
After shelling out 200 dollars for this, I was barely able to even land a single sale. The problem is that it relies mostly on you getting your own friends and family to purchase from the site. Without any real SEO etc. it's virtually impossible for anyone to find your site. It's a waste of money and time, unless you want to haggle your community and the people around you to buy from the site...DO NOT FALL INTO THE TRAP I DID.
Perhaps you need to promote via various social media and not totally rely on your friends and family? How about joining various FB groups, tweet etc. I have tweeter following, therefore I'm counting on that. Also, you may stumble upon, if you have a blog, write about the various products? Do you still have the site up? Is there a way to see it? As I'm thinking about having a store myself. Thanks.
I first found the Maestro program while looking online for home based biz-opts. Maestro caught my attention because they operate in a niche market (Ethnic Foods) that I don't see many other people marketing online. I decided to join the program and so far it has been going well. Sales from my store are going well and I am eagerly awaiting my first check.
The business idea is sound and so far customers that report back to me are happy with their products.
When I first signed up, they actually had an account manager give me a call within 24 hours and walked me through the whole site. I've joined a couple of other affiliate programs before and this is still a first for me.
I have to say so far I'm impressed and do recommend the program.
Hello Sebastian ;
I hope you check back to find this. I too am looking at Maestro. I was wondering if you have any additional thoughts now that you have been dealing with them for 4+ months. Any info you provide would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also looking into this business. Would you please at least share your maestro website, so that we could have an idea of how it looks? As they don't have any sample websites that are up and running. Thanks!

Recently a colleague of mine was recruiting for a fairly entry level supervisor role managing a team of telemarketers. After reviewing the resumes, only one stood out and my colleague was seriously considering bringing the candidate in for an interview even though he currently lives hundreds of miles away in another city.
Since she could tell from the experience level on the resume that the candidate was fairly young, she decided to conduct a Google search on the candidate, assuming he probably had some sort of on-line presence. Despite the fact that the candidate had a very common name, she was able to quickly locate his MySpace page. What she found there was less than flattering. The page was filled with several derogatory comments towards women and accounts of recent drinking escapades. My colleague never called the candidate in for an interview.
I recognize that living your life out in front of people is part of the Millennium culture. Maybe the culprit is You Tube or reality TV. But how will young job seekers cope with an interview where the goal is to maximize accomplishments and minimize blemishes? How will their MySpace page reflect on them if a hiring authority chooses to conduct an on-line search?
If you find that your job search is compromised by a questionable on-line persona, there are tools available to help. Ziggs, ClaimID, Ziki, Naymz, and Zoom Info help people manage their on-line presence by creating new, cleaner listings that can overcome the positioning of the less flattering ones . But since it's probably easier to remove a tattoo than to clean up a damaged on-line identity, make every effort now to proactively manage your on-line identity and keep it dirt-free.

When you plan your travels, you may have your own reasons to visit a particular place. So why would you choose to visit Malacca? Of course, you may have your own motivations. Let me write some general reasons which often attract tourists to this historical city. These are the reasons which undoubtedly make Malacca as one of the best holiday destinations in Malaysia.
Gateway to Malaysia's history
As people say, Malaysia was 'born' in Malacca. You can also say it was here where it all began. The history of Malaysia started from here. Indeed the Malacca history is the history of Malaysia. Besides, Malacca is an abode of many renowned cultures of Malaysia. Verily, Malacca is a melting pot of multiple Malaysian cultures. We can call Malacca as a Mini Malaysia.
You must cherish if you have included Malacca in your Malaysia visit itinerary. If not, you must include a Malacca day trip in your tour program. A couple of days would be better. In this article, we would try to give suitable Malacca itinerary and list of places to visit in Melaka (Malacca).
Malacca – the focal point of Malaysian heritage
Melaka is the most seasoned capital city in the territory of Malaysia. It is the focal point of Malaysian history too. Many protected points of interest speak to the pith of Malaccan history appropriate from the control of Portuguese, Dutch, British and Japanese. Today, Melaka has been built up as one of the UNESCO world legacy destinations. You shouldn't miss it when visiting Malaysia.
Malacca is easily accessible
Whether coming from Singapore or Johor Bahru or Kuala Lumpur , Malacca is easily accessible by road. You can get a bus, luxury coach, taxi or even Grab (Uber-like service) from these places. You can travel by bus easily and don't really need a taxi or Grab! (more details below).
Sightseeing and food in Malacca
Besides historical eminence and easy access, picturesque sightseeing and inexpensive mouth-watering Malacca food are the other reasons for you to visit Malacca. We will take up these topics individually.
Bus to Malacca or train?
You can get lots of buses for Malacca from various places. However, lets first talk about the trains.
If you prefer the train, you won't be able to reach the Malacca city by it. You would need to alight at Pulau Subang/Tampin train station and then go to the city by Grab or Taxi. This may take about thirty minutes to reach there. Don't forget this would also be costing you some extra money too. Therefore, its wise to use a bus to travel from Singapore/Johor Bahru or Kuala Lumpur to Malacca.
If going to Malacca by bus, you'd reach Malacca bus station called Melaka Sentral. From Melaka Sentral, you can take a local bus or a Taxi/Grab to go to your hotel or the place you would be staying. You can find local Panorama buses' schedule at Melaka Sentral bus station. You may need to wait half an hour to one hour at the bus station for your Panorama bus.
Bus to Malacca from Singapore
If you are traveling from Singapore / Johor, it is better to go to Larkin Sentral Bus Station of Johor Bahru and take a bus to Malacca from there. For a coach to Malacca, you can get from various points in Singapore and Johor Bahru (JB), including Larkin Sentral Bus Station.
There are customs and border control authorities' checkpoints at the Malaysia – Singapore border. Hence it is wiser to take a local Singapore – Johor Bahru bus to reach Larkin Sentral first. The advantage of using the local bus is that if passport and customs checks take longer time, you don't need to worry about the bus leaving without you. If you miss one bus you can use the same ticket to ply on another bus of the same company to reach Larkin Sentral. However, if you are going to Malacca directly from Singapore, you may really have to hurry to avoid missing your bus. Your bus may not wait long for you if passport and customs control takes longer time.

Bus to Malacca from Kuala Lumpur
If you are going to Malacca from Kuala Lumpur, the best place to start your journey to Malacca is TBS Bus Station. Most of the buses and coaches start their journey from here. You can book your ticket online or buy from the bus station counters. However, booking online would ensure your seat. Sometimes, if long holiday weekend or on festival eves it is often difficult to get a seat. Better safe than sorry, so we recommend booking online.
Step by step instructions to Get from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca
When you have invested adequate energy in Kuala Lumpur, a standout amongst the most widely recognized goals to see a while later is Melaka (Malacca). As mentioned earlier and as UNESCO has recorded, the city has numerous motivations to visit. Some prominent attractions incorporate Jonker Walk Night Market and Dutch Square. Getting to Melaka from Kuala Lumpur can be a conceivably confounding undertaking though not difficult once you understand. Nonetheless, this well-ordered guide should make it simple for you to achieve Melaka (and Jonker Walk) from KL in roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes utilizing to a significant degree reasonable open transport.
Take after these means on the most proficient method to get from Kuala Lumpur to Melaka by transport
- On the off-chance that you are remaining at an inn or guesthouse in Kuala Lumpur, at that point, it's best that you continue to KL Sentral Station using a taxi, Grab, Monorail, KTM Komuter or LRT. The method of transport you select eventually relies upon your area and spending plan. Kuala Lumpur is known for substantial activity downtown. You may attempt to take one of the people in general transport alternatives restricted to a taxi if conceivable.
- When you touch base at KL Sentral, your next goal will be TBS Station. TBS (Terminal Bersepadu Selatan likewise called Bandar Tasik Selatan) is a cutting-edge transport terminal that administrations the majority of the transport trips traveling south of Kuala Lumpur. We prescribe that you take KLIA Transit from KL Sentral to TBS Station (Cost 4.50 RM, around USD 1.50) The KTM Komuter and LRT additionally go to TBS, so these are alternatives however we discover KLIA Transit more dependable, with more up to date prepares. Bandar Tasik Selatan is the primary prevent from KL Sentral on KLIA Transit.
- If you've just landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport and going to Malacca straightaway, take KLIA Transit to TBS Bus Station.
Extra Tip
Make beyond any doubt that on the off-chance that you need to go to TBS, you don't take KLIA Express. This will skip TBS all together as it makes a trip straightforwardly to Kuala Lumpur International Airport without making any stops after KL Sentral.
At Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) Bus Station
- When you land at TBS Station, you will even now need to make short travel to the transport station. TBS is a substantially rectangular building that can't be missed. It will be to your right side as you land at TBS using KLIA Transit from KL Sentral. Take the signs and stroll to the transport station. This will take roughly 5 minutes.
- While in TBS you will doubtlessly need to gather your transport ticket regardless of whether you obtained it online. If you haven't bought a ticket on the web, search for the transport organization you need to move in and buy one to Melaka. On the off-chance that you obtained your ticket on the internet, they have individual counters to change over your online ticket to an official card. The least expensive transport to Malacca from Kuala Lumpur is 10 RM (around USD 3.00), while the average ticket value ranges from 13-15 RM.
- When you have your ticket, take after the signage to your loading up the door. TBS is set up similar to an air terminal, along these lines it's anything but confusing to explore.
- The transport ride from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca should take somewhere in the range of 2 hours to 2 hours and 40 minutes. If the activity is light, expect that it will take around 2 hours.
- Most transports are going from Kuala Lumpur to Malacca end at Melaka Sentral.

I was born in Rotterdam ( 1945) , painted all my life, but full time since 1995. My speciality is the square style. I developed this style myself.
I am a self made artist. Working in this style gives me all the opportunities of using much more colors, showing surprising effects and
sparkling images, independent of the subject. A square style painting is built on about hundred squares, all little abstracts and painted
one by one. After the last little square is painted, the hard work begins, to create balance and harmony in colours and light.
I cannot make square paintings only. Sometimes i have to give it a break. My other styles are "Double images" ( a integration of figurative
and abstract ) and "dreamscapes " ( surrealism) I see myself as a aesthetic sensualist. Always looking for beauty ans always trying to paint
with imagination, intuition and feeling. This emotional language has to radiate from my work. I am not ready with my development, of
course. I am working very hard to reach higher levels in using colours, techniques, compositions and styles.

OAKLAND (KCBS) – In the aftermath of the Raiders' decision to move to Las Vegas, the question remains of where they'll play for the next three seasons before a stadium is built.
While there are those who would love to see the Raiders leave town right now, but the team has a lease agreement through the next two NFL seasons.
As for a possible third year? Scott McKibben, executive director of the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority told USA Today that he will be against recommending a third-year lease extension for the Raiders.
McKibben said neither he nor any of the Coliseum board members want the Raiders back for a final lame-duck season in 2019.
On Monday, NFL owners gave the Raiders and owner Mark Davis approval to move to Las Vegas with a 31-1 vote. The team has already started taking $100 deposits for rights to tickets in the yet-to-be-built facility.

Life With Dog Family Movie Night Review
Recently, for family movie night, we watched Life with Dog from Mill Creek Entertainment. The premise of the movie sounded interesting to me and the kids, so we were happy to review it. The film filled us with a lot of emotion, and I wanted to take a moment to share about this film with all of you.
What this film is about
Written and directed by Corbin Bernsen, Life with Dog shows the raw grief of a man, Joe Bigler, who had just lost his wife, Alice, played by Marilu Henner. While Alice was a woman of faith, Joe was not, and the movie focuses on his lack of faith, as well as his path to dealing with grief and closure as his wife's death. While dealing or not dealing with his grief, as well as some developers that want his home, a silent dog entered his life. This dog became his catalyst to ultimately start dealing with the grief and also finding closure for his loss.
What the Kids thought of the Film
All three of us agreed that this movie was definitely a family movie night film for older kids and adults. Some of the themes and Joe's anger issues may be a bit intense for younger viewers. Both of my older kids enjoyed the movie and said they would recommend it to others to watch. They both said the movie was pretty heavy, and they would have liked to see the dog more in the film. However, all in all, they liked the film.
What I thought of the Movie
I read some of the other reviews on this movie before watching it, and I wasn't sure how I would like it based on those reviews. Therefore, I wanted to add my perspective on the subject of grief and faith in this film.
I found the character of Joe Bigler very relate-able to someone who has lost someone very dear to them. While, I thought he might have had some mental issues, as he did talk to his dead wife quite a bit, I also know that grief and the stress from it does some strange things to a person. I found parts of this movie quite raw.
There was a moment where he was talking to his wife and daughter's pastor. He talked about his losses and how he actually prayed, and then he spoke of his anger of how God didn't answer his prayers. For me, I began to cry because I felt that pain…I felt it when I miscarried the first time. I remember praying and yelling at God to bring him back. The anger I felt was so intense. I have had those moments of anger the past few years in dealing with illness and how much it took from me. To go through a deep loss is enough to cause pain, anger, and a loss of faith.
While I also think the dog needed to be more present in the movie, I thought the movie did a great job of showing some of those real and raw emotions of loss. Also, it would have been great to see a bit more to the ending, but I think it did show closure in the end and that Joe moved forward with his life. Overall, I thought this was a great family movie night pick.
Where to Buy Life With Dog
The DVD release of "Life With Dog" will be available at Walmart stores starting June 4, 2019. You can also purchase it on Amazon for $11.99.
You can also find Mill Creek Entertainment on Social Media, so be sure to check them out there for more about this movie and other family friendly entertainment!

The man who authorities say was driving drunk Oct. 23 when he crashed into another car in Jurupa Valley, killing all four men inside that vehicle, was behind the wheel that night even though his license had been suspended, court and state motor vehicle records show.
The license of George Marchan Ponce, 30, has been suspended at least three times since 2015 because he failed to appear in court to answer to vehicle code violations, Department of Motor Vehicles records show. Tickets for running a red light and driving while talking on a phone without using a hands-free device led to the suspensions, the DMV said.
Ponce, a resident of Jurupa Valley, also has convictions for speeding, hit-and-run causing property damage, driving an unregistered vehicle, fare evasion and battery on a spouse or cohabitant, Riverside County Superior Court records show.
Ponce appeared in Superior Court in Riverside on Thursday, Nov. 15, to be arraigned on four counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, all felonies, and one count of knowingly driving while unlicensed, a misdemeanor. The reading of the charges and Ponce's plea were postponed to Nov. 29.
The collision was reported about 11:45 p.m. on Van Buren Boulevard south of 56th Street.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department said Ponce was driving north on Van Buren when he lost control while turning left onto 56th. The car instead entered the southbound lanes, where it collided with a car with people in it. All four were pronounced dead at the scene.
Daniel Smith, 20, Marco Aguilar, 23, Clinton Jellsey, 25, and Nicholas Cahill, 20, were all friends from Riverside. They were returning from Ontario International Airport, where they had picked up Jellsey.

Cheap Barstools
Everyone loves a good bargain, right? This is especially true when shopping for potentially expensive things like a set of barstools. Getting cheap barstools doesn't mean you have to marry the manager at the local furniture store. In fact, there are several ways to go about finding cheap stools that don't look 'cheap.'
If new barstools are not essential, garage sales are often a great way to find excellent bargains on used barstools. Most experienced garage sale holders know that all prices are negotiable. So, after a careful inspection of the stools in question, offer the owner half what he's asking. You will find that in more instances than not, the seller will accept a price significantly lower than he's asking - especially if the sale's been going on for more than a couple of hours.
Another good option for cheap used barstools is online at big auction sites, like Ebay. These sites are like huge garage sales, only they're all in one place and you don't have to fight the traffic, the weather, and all the rest of the unpleasant aspects of shopping in person.
If deals on new barstools are what you seek, one option is to get out the yellow pages and call local furniture and billiards stores to find out if anyone is having a sale on them. Sometimes you'll find that stores will take less than the listed price, even when there isn't an advertised sale going on. This happens when merchants have been sitting on inventory they need to move. Just ask. That may be all it takes to get cheap barstools from a local provider.
The aforementioned online auction websites are another place to find nice bargains on new barstools. Merchants selling new stools will sometimes place them on Ebay to clear their inventory. If you check the site often, you can find truly awesome deals on great barstools.
Finally, take some time to find several websites selling barstools. If you're not in a hurry to buy some cheap stools, what you'll discover is that most of the bigger sites have seasonal and clearance sales from time to time. Waiting for one of those may save you a bundle!

The UK Film Council, as the Government‐backed strategic agency for film, has a responsibility to ensure that there is a strong evidence‐base to support our activities. Where there are gaps in the research, it is important that we identify these gaps and address them. There are many myths and theories about the position of women screenwriters in the UK. It may come as no surprise to learn that women are under‐represented, but the extent of the imbalance, and the reasons behind it, have never before been examined in any detail. The Institute for Employment Studies has brought together, for the first time, academic research and up‐to‐date industry data to produce an in‐depth, well‐conducted report.

Summer Holiday Essentials
I am thrilled to welcome Miss Ashley Kassab as my Guest Blogger today. Ashley is an expert in fashion and travel. Here are her suggestions to make your Summer Holiday packing more streamlined.
When I'm on holiday I'm all about simplicity. I tend to pack light and I stick to a neutral palette. The last thing I want is to waste precious vacation time agonizing over what to wear. Without further ado, here's a list of my holiday essentials.
1. A button down shirt
My first holiday essential is a button down shirt. I especially love slightly oversized striped ones that have that 'borrowed from the boys' vibe. The beauty of a button down shirt lies in its versatility –whether worn undone over a bathing suit or paired casually with denim shorts, a button down just works.
2. A pair of white shorts
My next essential is a pair of white shorts. Denim, basic cotton or even crocheted (like these luxe Chloé ones… *swoon*), white shorts have a light, airy feel to them and really complement a tan.
3. A pair of sunglasses
My third essential is a pair of sunglasses. It's no secret that I love sunglasses –gradient or mirrored lenses, a solid-coloured or tortoiseshell frame, I love them all. Is this an obvious choice? Yes, but you shouldn't underestimate the ability of a pair of sunglasses (like these amazing Fendi ones) to make a bold statement and complete a look.
4. A small bag
Last but certainly not least on my list of holiday essentials is a small bag that can easily transition from day to night. I would recommend bringing a bag in a neutral colour that either has a detachable strap, like this Saint Laurent one, or that can be converted into a clutch, like a wallet on chain.
Obviously you want multiple tops and bottoms that you can mix and match over your Holiday. But don't go overboard, you really need a lot less than you think. Bon Voyage!
Let Me Entertain You
I love having people over at our house. Even though I am not the most social of butterflies, I love to fuss over a table, prepare something exquisitely simple, and relax over a bottle of wine with friends.
The thing about entertaining people is that the details matter. Whether it is brunch or dinner the idea is to enjoy each other's company for a few concentrated hours. I like to make that time feel special making the table look special.
Be Inspired
First find a few images from around the web to help inspire you with an overall look. You don't have to drag out your best tablecloth and the iron. A simple runner makes a huge difference to the look of the table and set the mood of the event; from playful to sophisticated. You can coordinate your candles and flowers or lay out your dishes to share.
Placemats are another alternative to full table cloth. The protect your table while adding color and texture.
Create Your Own Look
Then, make it your own. Remember those dishes that you have tucked away for special occassions? Well, Hello?!?! Bring them out. Or that little trinket you fell in love with and just had to buy? Make it the center of the table.
The only rules that I follow are
Simple Touches - Big Impact
The biggest impact can often come from the smallest thing. Here are my top 3 favorite little details.
Have Fun
Most importantly, have fun with it! If you want to try and make it look like a magazine - Go For It! If you want it to be minimalist chic - Do It! Just take a chance. If it doesn't turn out exactly the way you wanted it, try again next time. In the end, it's all about having fun and socializing with your friends and family.
The Importance of Girl's Night
I am so very lucky to welcome Ms. Michelle Booker as my guest blogger today. Michelle is the founder of Sense of Self, Inc and an expert in helping women develop a healthy self image. If you would like to learn more about Sense of Self or to support her cause, visit her website at yoursenseofself.com
My Experience
I'm speaking from experience here. I was that wife and that mom that gave 100% of my time to my family and neglected my own needs and wants. My life was totally out of balance, until I was forced to take a step back and reevaluate some things. I had managed to pour everything I had into everyone around me and I was left empty and disconnected from myself. I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to be any good to anyone if I continued down that path. I discovered that in order for me to achieve some type of balance, I needed some space...some "Me Time." I let go of those feelings of guilt that I felt for taking time out for myself and in that space, I was able to think, to create and to reconnect to Michelle.
I also realized that as important as it was to have that quality "Me Time", it was equally important for me to bond with other women. Just like plenty of women out there, I've gone through some pretty tough things in my life. However, I like to think that my trials and tribulations have served some type of purpose. My desire to share my life experiences with other women is why I established my nonprofit, Sense Of Self, Inc. I wanted to reach back to those who may be going through some of the things I went through, so I started hosting my S.O.S "Girls Night Out" Wellness Parties. The focus of the parties is on self-awareness and feeling good about yourself inside and out. I like to think of them as an empowering "Girls Night Out."
Girls Night In or Out?
I like to put these gatherings into 2 categories. There's the type where you and your girlfriends actually stay in and get together. Maybe sip some wine and have heart to heart discussions about life. A Girls Night "In" I guess you can call it. The other is a true "Girls Night Out" where you and the girls get all dolled up for a night on the town. Both are special in there own ways and both are a fun outlet that allows you to be you. Not mom, not wife, not whatever job title you hold career-wise. Just YOU!!
A Girls Night In are the times when you and the girls hang out and there's lots of laughing, listening, releasing and healing going on. The times when you really have the opportunity to uplift, encourage and empower one another. You're learning from other's experiences and providing a support system for those in need. When you're surrounded
by your friends, you're surrounded by a group of positive people in your life who know you, love you and want nothing but the best for you.
Then there's the Girls Night Out. These are the times when you and the girls go out for a night on the town. Dinner, dancing, concerts...whatever! The most important part of this type of night though, is getting ready. There's an art form to getting dressed for a night out with the girls and it's so much more fun when you're getting dressed together. We're women, it's what we do. Putting on that outfit that accentuates your curves, wearing those heels that make you feel sexy...it's how we celebrate our femininity. How does this look? Should I wear my hair like this way? Which shoes match better? What earrings go better with this outfit? Every time your girlfriend tells you that something looks good on you or tells you how pretty you look, that compliment serves as a self-
esteem boost.
What it really does for you
This type encouragement fills you with a fierce, fearless spirit that has you stepping into a room feeling like you're the hottest thing in the place. You know that feeling you get when you know you look good. You have a sense of pride, a sense of worthiness, a SENSE OF SELF. It makes you feel more confident. Everybody has their own set of insecurities, but you trust your friends opinions. Sometimes, you trust their opinions even more than you trust your own. You know they're not going to let you leave the house looking crazy. Let me rephrase that....GOOD friends won't let you leave the house looking crazy.
For the women out there who are long overdue for a Girls Night Out, I strongly recommend that that you and your friends mark a date on the calendar. The inspiration I used to write this my blog came from me having just spent some quality me time on a flight to San Francisco to host a S.O.S. Wellness Party. Great things come from time spent wisely. Oooh the things you can accomplish when you have that special time to bond with yourself and bond with your friends. You come back revived, renewed, ready to take care of business and full of positivity. Everyone around you benefits from that energy. When you're happy and fulfilled, you make those around you feel happy and fulfilled. So in a way, I think it's safe to say that having worldwide Girls Night Outs can create WORLD PEACE!! Okay, that might be pushing it, but there sure would be a lot of happy women floating around.
