Shannen Doherty's Support Of The 'Charmed' Reboot Is Focused On The Fans
Details about the show's new storyline have drawn mixed emotions, but Shannen Doherty says she supports the Charmed reboot — as long as the creators focus on what's important to the fans. Doherty, who played Prue Halliwell for the first three seasons of the CW's supernatural drama, recently chimed in on Twitter with some thoughts about how she hopes the show's reboot will turn out.
"So curious," she tweeted on Jan. 27. "[If] it was not a reboot and just was a show about sisters and family dynamics with super natural powers.... thoughts?" Fans were quick to respond to Doherty's question, prompting the star to share some additional thoughts. "[I'm] intrigued by the idea that a new generation might be comforted, inspired like all you were," she said. "[Charmed] helped us all in some way."
Doherty's comments showed a decidedly different stance than that of her former co-star, Holly-Marie Combs, who slammed the reboot in a series of tweets just one day prior. "Here's the thing," Combs tweeted on Jan. 26. "Until you ask us to rewrite [Charmed] like Brad Kern did weekly don't even think of capitalizing on our hard work. [Charmed] belongs to the 4 of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye."
Despite Combs' harsh words about the reboot, both she and Doherty seem to share the same concern — the original show's fans. "Thank you for opening up my eyes," one fan tweeted to Doherty in response to her thoughts about the new show. "Without [Charmed], I would be a different person today. Serious. So, if this new show can do that for others, as you said, I'm all for it." Doherty's next tweet conveyed a seemingly subtle message to the reboot's creators, and emphasized her optimism. "I hope [the reboot's creators] respect the original and listen to [the fans] and make a show that's inspired by [Charmed] that focuses on what's important in life."
The original Charmed ran for eight seasons from 1998 to 2006, and in addition to Doherty and Combs (who played Piper Halliwell), the show also starred Alyssa Milano (as Phoebe Halliwell), and Rose McGowan (who played Paige Matthews from seasons 4 through 8). At its core, Charmed focused on the relationships between the four witchy sisters (McGowan's character was technically a half-sister), and was deemed "perfect post-feminist girl-power," by Vanessa Thorpe of The Guardian early on.
Critics of the reboot have been up in arms over the network's description of the new show, which calls it a "fierce, funny, feminist reboot of the original series" — as if the original series didn't already embody all of those things. "Their wording is terrible and a bit offensive," Doherty tweeted about the description. "But, everyone makes mistakes. Perhaps with the backlash they will be more thoughtful in future." One fan zeroed in on the network's use of the word "feminist," specifically, and asked Doherty for her opinion. "[Very] ignorant stupid comment," she responded via Twitter. "Perhaps [the description was] made by a millennial that never watched the show and just read a synopsis on it."
It seems like the creators and writers of the Charmed reboot have some serious work to do, in terms of winning over the fans (and stars) of the original show. Doherty's advice about how they should handle the new version, however, is pretty sound — they should definitely be listening to what the fans want (in the event they haven't been doing that already). In the meantime, here's hoping we can all do like Doherty and stay positive.

Disclosure: I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of REACH® and One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own.
My husband has been talking about having another baby recently. Like what?! Ben is 15 months now and of course he's still my baby. I can't imagine going through pregnancy and labor again. I still remember every bit of labor pain with Ben and no thank you! Then I think about how I sorta let myself go in those first few weeks (heck, who am I kidding, months even) when he came home. No showers for days? that was the norm. I was just worried about staying awake long enough to actually take care of my family. One thing I never forgot to do was brush my teeth though. Wouldn't matter how crazy my day was either. Maybe it was just once a day instead of 2-3 but I still did it.
I'm not alone either. No matter how exhausted busy moms are, a new survey by Kelton Global states millions of American moms (82% of those surveyed) prioritize their pearly whites over washing their face, or removing their makeup before bed, ensuring a bright and healthy smile is always a top priority.
So while I may not be completely ready for another baby right now (if at all). I know that my teeth will continue to get the care they've always had but now even more with the help of REACH.

Sunday 6 October 201916.00 to 19.00
WELCOME to the second infamous UCL Badminton social session! A 3 hour session for you to attend and assess the club before (inevitably) buying your membership. Come and meet some new people who share the love of the fantastic sport that is badminton and have some fun as well!
Please note this event will be very crowded as Badminton is a very popular sport - but don't let this put you off. Within a month significantly fewer people will attend practices and you'll be able to get plenty of court time, this happens every year. We have a small number of rackets to lend out but if you can please bring your own, that'd be fab!
We look forward to seeing you!

Hannah Jayne and Levi David are two little twins that were so excited to meet their family they arrived a little earlier than expected. Their very wise doctors didn't like that much and told them they needed to stay nice and warm in a little incubator till they grow big and strong enough to go home. Now after 2 months of growing strong and getting healthy both twins are finally home.
Jenna their mommy wanted to record the occasion and asked me to take some family photos that they could share with everyone.
Jenna and Grant have been friends of mine for years and I'm just so happy that both twins are doing so well after this very difficult time. They are still so tiny but it was truly amazing to see them home and to see just how happy and relived both parents are to have their beautiful family all together. Here are a few photos taken on the day.

Yeah buddy! I got a chance to sit down with (figuratively) Bell of Lost Souls' master converter Isotope99. I asked some of your questions, and some of my own. I hope you guys enjoy this! Feel free to comment/ask more questions!
The Big Mek: OK, lets start with an easy one. What's your name?
Isotope99: Phil, but you'll mostly find my stuff under isotope99 (don't ask me why I've just been using it for ages).
TBM: Do you have a Facebook Page and Twitter for your art?
I99: I don't, I mostly upload to Bell of Lost Souls as it's easier to manage. One day I may set up a blog of my very own, but I haven't gotten round to it yet.
TBM: Do you use third party parts, or just GW?
I99: Pretty much just GW. I like to play at the official events at their UK HQ so I tend to stick with standard parts. Plus I've gotten used to working with their plastic.
TBM: If you use third party parts, which companies do you recommend?
I99: Machinator, from Blood and Skulls Industry does some impressively crisp tank parts but I mostly stick to GW.
TBM: It looks like you have a huge collection of Rogue Trader era art. Where else do you get your inspiration for your work?
I99: Sometimes the novels, probably indirectly from some video games and films, mostly out of my imagination (at least I like to think so). I do a lot of rough sketches before starting that sometimes suggest poses and parts that I might use. Sometimes it's just rummaging through my various bitz boxes and putting aside useful potential parts.
TBM: Do you like converting or painting better, as you seem to excel at both equally? Which do you think you do better?
I99: Converting is my favourite part of the hobby, I like to make every model unique wherever possible and enjoy building the crazy monsters. My painting has improved quite a bit over the last few years (this Khorne army is the best painting I've done by some margin) but it's usually the conversions that people remember.
TBM: Do you play, or just model and paint?
I99: I play (probably around average skill) but not extensively, mostly at the official events as I don't have a convenient local club. My armies are often influenced more by what looks good to convert than pure effectiveness but I like to be at least competitive.
TBM: Do you have any armies other than the incredible Khorne army?
I99: A few, Thousand sons (using grey knights list), Exodites (Eldar), Mechanicus (Necrons), Dark Eldar, some more daemons from the other gods and some Orks. I have trouble sticking to one army and tend to swap between them pretty fast. Search in the BoLS threads and you'll find most of them.
TBM: Do you play games other than Warhammer 40k?
I99: Not yet, there are far fewer independent stores here in the UK so it's mostly GW. I have pitched in for a couple of kickstarters like Kingdom Death but likely will end up just converting/painting the models (if they ever ship grumble, grumble) .
TBM: What's next on your workshop desk?
I99: After my various whacky armies, I feel the need for something more regular and Imperium-y so I am going to do an embarkation deck Ultramarines force (gearing up for war, putting on their armour, checking weapons and so on) with some mini scenic bases like armoury chambers, teleport pads etc. May also include a Roboute Guilliman conversion using the new Ferrus Manus.
TBM: What is your dream conversion?
I99: Not sure, I already did an Imperator Titan, but with forge world releasing more primarch scale stuff and a successful Sanguinius conversion under my belt, I may well skip ahead and do a diorama of the final battle Horus versus the Emperor. FW probably won't get there for another 10 years at this rate after all 🙂

What do you have to gain with our
FREE Fit Blueprint Program?
Strength, Endurance, Confidence, Performance
The Only Thing to lose is:
Fat, Inches off your waist, Pain
Take action today or miss another opportunity
at a better physique!
I'm pushing 45-years-old, just had lots of daily aches and pains especially in my back. I was kind of hesitant to come in. I'd never done a gym-based workout before. I was a little nervous that it might not be good, but I've noticed pretty quickly into the workout that those daily aches and pains have pretty much just gone away.
I was a bit nervous about coming into a training environment. One thing is you are made to feel very comfortable in here, which took all the intimidation away and lets you get down to focusing on improving your fitness. The results have been tremendous.
Since training at Studio Fitness I've noticed a huge increase in strength and body awareness. Now when I surf iy feels like I can catch everything. All the little aches and pains that I started having in my late 30's and early 40's have vanished.
Greg Finch, ACSM cPT
Over the 15 years Greg has been a trainer a lot of things have changed in the fitness industry.
The one thing that has never changed for him is a pure drive and joy to help individuals become the best version of themselves.
He is a father, husband, trainer, entrepreneur, and surfer.
He is much more enjoyable to be around after a good surf & finds writing in the third person hilarious.

What sort of person was our matriarch Rachel?
Jacob's love of Rachel is perhaps the most famous love story in the Bible, emphasized in many verses. For example, "Jacob loved Rachel...and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her" (Gen. 29:19-20). Even years after Rachel's death, Jacob referred to her as his only true wife, as follows from his words to his sons, quoted by Judah: "As you know, my wife bore me two sons" (Gen. 44:27).
Alongside the unqualified love between Jacob and Rachel, the written Torah as well as the midrash describe several incidents in which Jacob and Rachel had disagreements or behaved quite differently one from the other. One such disagreement between them was mentioned in the previous weekly reading:
When Rachel saw that she had borne Jacob no children, she became envious of her sister; and Rachel said to Jacob, "Give me children, or I shall die." Jacob was incensed at Rachel and said, "Can I take the place of G‑d, who has denied you fruit of the womb?" (Gen. 30:1-2).
Another disagreement is not explicitly mentioned, but clearly follows from the text in the story of Rachel's stealing her father's idols. While Rachel had stolen the idols, Jacob condemned the thief: "But anyone with whom you find your gods shall not remain alive!" (Gen. 31:32).[1]
The Torah notes that while Jacob did not know Rachel had stolen the idols, he condemned the theft in no uncertain terms, not considering the possibility that there might have been a positive objective might behind the theft.
A third difference between them appears in the naming of Benjamin. Rachel, in the last moments of her life, called the newborn "Ben-oni" (according to Rashi, "the son of my suffering"), but Jacob changed his name to Benjamin. Of course there was no argument here, but a different way of relating to reality, which was certainly tragic for Jacob, as well.
A fourth point of contention arises from the famous legend (Bava Batra 123a, cited in Rashi's commentary on Genesis 29:25) recounting how, when Laban substituted Leah for Rachel at the wedding of Jacob and Rachel, Rachel passed on to Leah the private signs that she had agreed upon with Jacob, all to avoid the deception coming out and Leah being humiliated. The Sages applauded Rachel's sacrifice for her sister. But did Jacob, too, think that the proper way to behave? Presumably not! The very fact that he worked out signs with Rachel ahead of time indicates that he had no intention of letting himself be cheated. No explicit mention is made of his response to Leah and Rachel after the fact, yet only a few verses later Scripture says: "The Lord saw that Leah was unloved" (Gen. 29:31), and the Sages (Genesis Rabbah 71.2) wrote that Jacob hated Leah for her involvement in the deception. If so, it appears that Jacob thought it had not been proper to enable Laban to deceive him, even in order to save Leah from embarrassment.
Are these separate, individual disagreements, or do they perhaps all stem from some common difference in principle?
As we see it, all the events we have mentioned have one underlying element—a fundamental difference of opinion between Jacob and Rachel regarding the correct way of viewing reality. Jacob attempted to see the overall picture, and hence at times he did not think that a problem needed to be addressed immediately. Even in certain times of stress he did not relate to what was happening as negative because he viewed the event in terms of its place in the broader context. Rachel, in contrast, was not prepared to tolerate the bad, and demanded that one fight against it immediately, doing away with it as far as possible, even at the cost of subsequent embroilment.
This difference in approach runs throughout many episodes in the life of Jacob and Rachel. When Laban substituted Leah for Rachel, and Rachel saw that Leah was likely to be humiliated should the deceit come out, she chose to save Leah on the spot, even at the intolerably high price of her losing Jacob forever. When the Lord kept her from conceiving, she was not willing to accept Jacob's explanation that such was the Lord's decree, but demanded immediate remedy of the situation. When Rachel was about to leave Laban's household, she stole his idols in order not to leave her father with the contamination of idolatry when she would not have any further chance to influence him. And as she breathed her last, no name for the newborn was more fitting to describe the tragedy of her life than "child of my suffering."
In contrast to Rachel, Jacob did not think it right to give up his future relations with Rachel in order to save Leah for the moment. He did not see an immediate solution to the problem of the barrenness of his beloved wife, yet he did not think one could forcibly demand a solution from G‑d with the words, "Give me children." He considered that stealing Laban's idols was forbidden, especially since, rationally thinking, the chances of such an action stopping Laban from being an idolater were small. And when Rachel died in childbirth, Jacob saw the light amidst the great darkness and changed the child's name to Benjamin.
With this understanding, we can now explain the ostensible contradiction between the famous interpretations that deal with the question of why Rachel was buried along the road to Ephrath, and not in the Cave of Machpelah, along with the rest of our patriarchs and matriarchs. On one hand, some interpret this as reflecting badly on Rachel, as a punishment for her having been willing to give up a night with Jacob in exchange for Reuben's mandrakes: "Since she had disregard for sleeping with this righteous man, she did not have the privilege of being buried with him" (Rashi on Gen. 30:15, based on Genesis Rabbah 72.3). On the other hand, others have said that it was necessary for Rachel to be buried en route so that she could pray for her children as they passed by her burial place on their way to exile:
Know, however, that I buried her there by the command of G‑d, that she might help her children when Nebuzaradan would take them into captivity. For when they were passing along that road, Rachel came forth by her tomb [and stood there] weeping and beseeching mercy for them, as it is said, "A cry is heard in Ramah…" (Jer. 31:15), and the Holy One, blessed be He, replied to her, "There is a reward for your labor…Your children shall return to their country" (Jer. 31:16; Rashi on Gen. 48:7, based on Genesis Rabbah 82:10).
Why, then was Rachel buried along the road? Was this to fulfill a special role that the Holy One, blessed be He, destined for her? Or was it a punishment for not having had proper regard for Jacob?[2]
As we see it, the reason for Rachel's actions in the story of the mandrakes is precisely the reason why Rachel's prayers would be the ones to protect her children when they were exiled.
Why did Rachel want the mandrakes? In those days mandrakes were considered a lucky charm for conceiving (and some still think so to this day). Rachel was not willing to come to terms with being barren and tried to find a solution at any price. First she asked Jacob to help out, but she was refused despite her asking with such desperation. Then, in the hope of obtaining children, she brought her rival into her home, thereby to a certain extent giving up closeness with Jacob: "She said, 'Here is my maid Bilhah. Consort with her, that she may bear on my knees and that through her I too may have children'" (Gen. 30:3).
After this step, too, proved to no avail, the mandrakes were yet another attempt to solve the problem of barrenness here and now, even if it be at the expense of temporarily giving up time with Jacob.[3] Of course Rachel did not know that as a result she would not get to be buried alongside Jacob. It is possible, however, that she would have done the same even had she known, just as she agreed to give up her entire future with Jacob in order to spare Leah embarrassment at her wedding.
The midrash (Lamentations Rabbah, proem 24) recounts how all the patriarchs in the world prayed to the Lord to have mercy on His children who had been exiled, but their entreaties were rejected, until Rachel came and beseeched that just as she had overcome her jealousy and had ceded to Leah, so, too, the Lord should forgive Israel its sin of idolatry and redeem them. Rachel's prayer was the one that was accepted. Why were her prayers answered while those of the rest of the patriarchs were rejected? Was the sacrifice Abraham made in the binding of Isaac, which he mentions in his prayer, any lesser than Rachel's sacrifice in revealing to Leah the secret signs she had agreed upon with Jacob?
According to what we set forth here, the prayers of the rest of the patriarchs were not accepted because they viewed the exile as part of a larger picture, and even though they bemoaned the hardship they nevertheless accepted the factors that made it impossible to bring it to an end forthwith. Rachel, in contrast, demanded an immediate solution to the hardship, requesting that just as she had been willing to give up her entire future to spare her sister even a moment's humiliation, so, too, the Lord should redeem her children immediately. Since Rachel was willing to pay such a great personal price for the road she chose to take, therefore her prayers were accepted.
Such was the way of our matriarch Rachel—to look at the reality of the moment and not to allow the bad to persist even temporarily, rather to attempt to cope with it, even if she would have to pay a price in the future. Even though we are more accustomed to follow the way of Jacob, the midrash teaches us that there are times when only Rachel's way can succeed.

The newest representative among electric sports cars, the Piëch Mark Zero concept has received 3 motors with a total power of 450 kW (603 hp) and an elegant body design made of lightweight composite material. However, its brightest feature is the phenomenal battery charge rate: 4.4 minutes from zero to 80%.
The founder of the brand Piëch, Anton Piech, is the son of designer Ferdinand Piech, who raised Audi to the new height in the 70s-80s, and then Volkswagen (1993-2015). Anton's entire career was also associated with European car brands, from Volkswagen to Bentley, and its logical continuation was the founding of its own car brand, represented exclusively by electric cars.
The stylish and seductive luxury electric GT-sports car Piech Mark Zero with a fully electric powertrain is presented in detail at the Geneva Motor Show. The company has announced the basic specifications: two synchronous electric motors, each with a power of 150 kW, are installed on its rear wheels, and another asynchronous motor with the same performance is on the front axle. The total weight of the car is a little less than 1800 kg.
Piëch Mark Zero will certainly be rated as one of the most advanced sports electric cars on the market, but the manufacturer places particular emphasis on the incredible charge rate of its battery: from 0: up to 80% in 4 minutes and 40 seconds. The battery was created by the German-Chinese company Desten Group, located in Hong Kong.
Nothing is known about the size and capacity of the battery, except that when testing on the WLTP international cycle, the luxury electric sports car Piech Mark Zero showed a range of 500 kilometers (311 miles). The manufacturer guarantees 5000 fast charge / discharge cycles until the battery capacity drops to 80%, which indicates a very long battery life.
Target specifications - Piech Mark Zero:
- Length/Width/Height: 4,432/1,991/1,250 mm (w/o wing mirrors)
- Overhang: front: 897 mm/back: 915 mm
- Weight: under 1,800 kg
- Wheelbase: 2,620 mm
- System output: Front axle: one asynchronous motor delivering 150 kW
- Rear axle: two synchronous motors (mechanically decoupled) delivering 150 kW each
- Acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds
- Top speed: 250 km/h
- Range: 500 kilometers (311 miles)
In conclusion: Piëch Mark Zero claims 4.4 minute recharge for 300 miles journey. Does this sound too good to be true?

The smell of popcorn wafting from the lobby, with a bit of a sweet smell coming from the soda fountain will not be a distant memory anymore when the Ector Theatre begins showing the classic movies at the classic theater Sept. 28.
After a long wait films via a digital projector will be shown at the majestic classic theater.
And, the keeper of the keys, the switches and the popcorn Don Stice, is giving a great big thanks to the benefactor for this, Donald Wood.
Stice has been lobbying for the new video machine for more than a decade, having held several fund raisers over the years to get the machine in place. But after all those efforts, they just could not raise the funds to buy the video equipment.
Finally, one day a few months back, Stice took a chance and walked in to Wood's office and asked him to help.
"He personally gave us a check for $15,000," Stice said. "My hat's off to him, we are so grateful."
That $15,000 allowed the theater to purchase a Christie digital projector, which Stice says not only brings the Ector back to its original purpose, but makes the theater a venue where meetings and presentations can be made.
This puts the theater back to doing the business that it was built for back in 1951
And soon, you will see classic movie titles from every decade listed on that marquee.
"The Ector Theatre is one of the few movie palaces left in this part of the country," Stice said. "And most of the 30,000 new residents in West Texas don't even know it exists."
The Ector Theatre opened Aug. 1, 1951 at its location on 500 N. Texas Ave. in Odessa. The first movie ever shown there was "Half Angel," starring Loretta Young and Joseph Cotten.
Stice told me he fell in love with the theater more than 55 years ago, when he moved to Odessa. The first movie he ever saw there was "The Alamo" with John Wayne. I remember seeing "Summer of '42" at the Ector with all my friends – and if memory serves, we may have watched the Elvis documentary there, too.
The historic theater, complete with art deco style interior, was a popular movie spot for years in downtown Odessa, along with the Scott Theater and the Rio Theater. Actually the Ector was the longest hold out in all of the theaters but it closed Aug. 22, 1985 after a final showing of the James Bond thriller "A View To A Kill."
Rather than let the building crumble in to a state of disrepair, back in 1998 the Ector Theatre Task Force was appointed by the City Council and as a proclamation says "a committee of whole-hearted citizens worked diligently to restore this historical building…"
Main Street Odessa, helped with the renovation back then, refurbishing the seats, the wall art, the lights and the marquee. The marquee wraps around from the side to the front of the building. The vertical sign is still in use and is located on the corner of the building starting just above the marquee. Each geometric block along the side and the front has the pattern lined with neon.
All worked hard to renovate the interior and exterior of the building and thanks to their TLC, the theater reopened in Aug. of 2001, presenting the classic James Dean film "Rebel Without a Cause."
Since that time, with the old projector broke, speakers were bad so in recent years, the bread and butter of the Ector has been live performances, like performances by Vince King the Elvis impersonator and of other tribute acts.
Stice said he plans to show movies from every era and of all genres like westerns, family, comedies, mysteries and musicals on the large screen, which is 20 feet tall and 40 feet wide. The bottom floor of the theater seats 500 comfortably. For now, the balcony is closed.
The first movie that will be shown this time around, will be "God's Not Dead," at 3 p.m. Sept. 28. The movie is free and open to the public and sponsored by Asbury United Methodist Church.
Ticket prices for upcoming movies are affordable at $5 for adults and $3 for kids., And, Stice said he's only going to charge $2 for popcorn and sodas – so you don't have to break the bank to enjoy a little entertainment.
Stice believes the Ector could be an anchor for downtown revitalization and so the theater has been chosen by the City of Odessa as the location for a meeting on that very topic on Oct. 16.
The old palatial theaters are our history and many communities across the state, who value their downtowns and their history, have taken on projects to refurbish the old theaters — the places where our ancestors filled the seats and watched the classics.
So the Ector Theatre is back in the movie business…it's been too long.

After Kondô-wase cultivar sencha from Mariko (Shizuoka), which is already sold out, here is the second early shincha hasty on Thés du Japon.
With the cultivar Sôfû, it is still a variety of "inzatsu" type. It is also a cross of Yabukita (♀) and Inzatsu 131 (♂).
This one comes from Nihon-daira, from the plantations of Mr. Urushibata. It is a manual harvest, a production of barely 10 kilos, of which I have only one part. Quantities very limited therefore.
Nihon-daira is on the city of Shizuoka, in the district of Suruga. It is a plateau overlooking the bay of Suruga. It is therefore a very temperate zone, which is therefore well suited to an early cultivar sensitive to the cold such as Sôfû.
It has only been a few years since this producer made this Sôfû, and if it had not convinced me last year, I must say that this year, I found it particularly attractive.
The tea soup gives a delicate sweet fragrance, predominantly floral but a little fruity and slightly green.
This aromatic profil arrives in the mouth from the first attack in an intense way. This sweet floral aromas get perfectly married with an umami present but very thin. This sencha has a silky sensation. Without any aggressiveness, the tea flows very fluidly in the throat, and despite the richness of the aromas, it remains very airy. Delicacy and elegance seem to be the key words. However, the character of the teas of type inzatsu is here perfectly recognizable, in the aftertaste in particular.
The after-taste is light, rather diffuse, but it helps to give this sencha a very refreshing character.
Starting from the first infusion with water at 80-85 ° C, one can perform 4 infusions without any trace of astringency.
If one feels that these aromas are still little asserted, it is also a characteristic of the shincha, but on the other hand it is a sencha that seems to me to possess a beautiful balance and a great elegance, qualities that are not always put together with these new teas justly.
My first impression on this season 2017 is that it seems to me that one can hope for more perfumes on these inzatsu type cultivars than last year when many were disappointing. I'm looking forward to see the Sôfû from Tamakawa!
By the way, the Shincha Kondô-wase cultivar from Osaka 小坂 (not Ôsaka 大阪 !!) in the Suruga ward of Shizuoka, is now available.

Festive Greeting Card
151 comments:
Lovely card, it's gorgeous. I love all of this one.
Well just finished two full days of intensive training at work, I only work 6 hours per day so they already owe me over a day now. Have to admit I struggled with it but so did the rest if the team and they are years younger do it can't be an age thing.
Elaine, if anyone deserves to sit under a sunshade sipping homemade lemonade, it is your Andrew, all joy to him, hope he does it again today .
Tina how are things with the Carers, has it been sorted out. Hugs to you and Mick.
Tracey, what a fab idea to join a crafting class, go for it, it will do you the world of good. I wish we had one close to me.
Wheelybad, Yvonne, Lorraine, and all who are not well, a nice comforting blanket of caring is wrapped around you.
Thinking of missing friends, Norah, hope you are okay, Cheryl too.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, IK remember seeing this video when it went onto You tube and loved it then, it really is a beautiful die and card, I love it.
Pam you take some time out for 'me time' it is always stressful when doing training, I used to train people on how to use software on the computer, )'word, excel, powerpoint, and bespoke applications') so I understand where you were coming from.
Elaine how lovely for Andrew sitting with the homemade lemonade, yummy, make the most of this weather because I think it is going to be changing next week.
Tracey, do you have any friends near you who are interested in craft, if so why not invite them to your home to craft with you, or even do what I did.......... when our local craft shop closed their second warehouse, which is where we used to hold our weekly craft group, I looked around and found a local church who let out a largish room to us, it holds about 20 comfortably, we have to get the tables and chairs out each time but I have a wonderful group of ladies who all help, it is an idea if you could do something like this, even if you only held it once a month at first to try it.
Sending lots of hugs to Tina (hope you sorted the carers out), Wheelybad, Yvonne, Lorraine and all who need them.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

WOW Sue now that's what you call an outstanding festive card, one that will out shine any shop bought expensive manufactured greeting card.
I only have the gift card stocking die from this year's collection but it's time to add to the list ready for the annual marathon for market. I'm so way behind now with my whole collection this year with no hope at all at ever catching up ! Oh well never been a millionaire and never will be so may as well come to terms that I will never own every single die you release, such is life.
Andy off to look after our little Lottie today so mummy & daddy can have a nice relaxing spa day together before mummy has to return to work. Unfortunately Lottie is so full of cold and without my immune system it could turn into more than a cold should I get it, so he's really looking forward to his day with his princess.
Will send you my usual hugs Sue, enjoy your day xx

Pam the weekend will soon be here so you can rest hopefully.
Tracey i do a little craft Group for two hours there are only 4/5 of us but we have a good laugh and a natter 3 of us are card makers the other two bring in knitting or crochet and Adult colouring books as well , it gives me something to look forward to i love it .
Thinking of Tina, Wheelybad and Lorraine.
I had to go to the DR on Monday the back of my leg above the Ankle was so painful to the touch, red and hot , the Doctor gave me some cream and told me to sit with the leg propped up she wants to see me again on Fri 26th. When i stand the pain is really awful and it seems to be spreading up to just under the knee , i have never had pain like it , it seems to spring out in all directions if you know what i mean ?
Oh well i will keep resting and hope the cream works its magic and SOON.
Sending big hugs to all

To My Very Special Friend Sue,
Sue Where Can One Begin I've Watched This Particular Video About Three
Times, That's The Great Thing About Being Informed When They Are Available On You Tube.
I Watched Once Again This Morning
As I Never Tire Of Watching Your Video's And Its Truly Wonderful To See The Christmas Card Collection
One's As They Give Me Lots Of Inspiration.
I Love All The Fabulous Dies That You've Used And I Must Say I'm So In Love With "The Greetings Of The Season" Die
I Love The Fact That It Can Be Used In Two Different Ways, I Haven't Got This Die As Yet!! Maybe After I Return From Holiday
Not Too Long Now!!!
Today's Card Is As Always Extremely, Exquisite, Rich, And Just So Opulent You Wouldn't Be Able To Purchase Such A Stunning
Card If You Tried If There Was One Available You Would Have To Pay Double Figures Quite Easily..
Sue Thank You For Your Outstanding Video And Great Tutorial Taking Us Through It Step By Step On How To Achieve
This Very Superb Card.
I'm In Total Awe Of You Sue! You Inspire Me Each And Every Day And I Can't Begin To Tell You How Much I Appreciate It
Thank You Sue For Everything.

Oh my, another reminder to get a move on with my Christmas batch cards.
What a stunner of a card Sue, so bright and cheerful and a beautiful Holly die, I must put this one on my wish list.
Hi Pam, I am here, lol. I've just had three weeks off nattering, shopping and sightseeing with visiting family and friends and no phone, PC or Kindle to disturb us. They stayed firmly at home and turned off.
Now it is time to catch up with everyone's news, Sue's lovely cards and that dreaded word housework.

It was a lovely surprise today to see such a beautiful Christmas card. I really like the Holly Striplet - predictive text made it the hilly striplet!!

Evening Sue
Beautiful. Not watched the video yet but can't wait to see how you created this masterpiece. It's gorgeous. So festive and I know that this would be such a treat for anyone to receive. Thanks Sue x
Well I have a confession. I am in love. No not the DJ from Saturday evening. I am completely and utterly head over heels in love with the pixie powders. Oh my goodness they are absolutely stunning and dazzling and I got so excited playing with them and watching them burst into life like a magnificent firework display. I need to get all the colours and I am hoping that there are more colours in the cosmic shimmer pipeline x
P - the party was great and I am recovering at a slow but steady pace. I have another 25 years to recover before the 50th anniversary party x
Frances - I had forgotten about her!! Gosh yes, I'm going to need a lot of energy for that escapade aren't I. Hopefully I will be back on form so I can keep Laine in line x
Lorraine - so sorry to hear you've been so under the weather. Sending huggles x
Tracy - would you believe I'm sort of jealous of your grey hair. You have missed out the having to colour your hair over and over as you spot more grey hairs growing at a rapid rate. Bet it is classy and fabulous. Hugs x
Laine - hope you're OK hun. I know you were feeling really tired when I spoke to you so hope you are feeling a bit more human. You need to get a wiggle on and sort out your travel schedule for your stay - not long now. Speak soon hun x
So sorry I'm not up to date with everyone. I am having to take things slowly so that my brain cell doesn't overload x
Hope everyone has been enjoying the Olympics. So exciting. Could barely contain myself Tuesday evening when the cycling was restarted twice - the suspense was unbelievable x
Sending love to Tina, Elaine, Maria, Wheely and now my mind has gone blank. Lots of love to everyone especially my bantering blog buddies - you know who you are x
Take care
Happy thoughts

I really love your Holly, Poinsettia Gemini Die. I think it gorgeous Sue and a "must have" Christmas die for me !!! I love the colours, love the layout of the card, love the dies, just love it all !!!
I also have to say that I really love yesterday's card to Sue. I had not seen this particular stamp that matches the Bern die before, I think it is beautiful. I may have to try and get this stamp to, to match my Bern die. It is very elegant. I love the rest of the card to. Thank you for sharing your stunning cards Sue.

Sweet Dreams 悄進夢鄉 We all need a mattress and most of us have no idea how to buy one 優質睡眠 先由揀床褥開始 經過一天辛勞工作,有甚麼比躺在床上 呼呼大睡更令人神往?優質睡眠不 但讓人保持健康,還可令思維敏捷,難怪床 褥市場向來都有捧場客。香港工時長,生活 壓力大,有時就算身心疲累也會緊張得睡不 著,這一點說明了為甚麼一張優質的床褥如 此重要。 Kokoon的Moira Chan說:「床褥生產技術至 今已相當成熟,市場上亦有不少品牌可供選 擇。床褥始終是貼身用品,選購床褥已成為 一種個人品味。」Moira的顧客來自五湖四 海,他們都喜歡在店內試盡不同款式、不同 設計的床褥。她表示,有些顧客追求名牌, 願意大灑金錢來添置床褥,但最終仍發覺買 錯床褥,需要向我們求助,尋求專業意見。 在香港這個彈丸之地,床褥尺寸與歐洲或美國 的標準有差別,需要加倍留意。本港部分寢 室品牌,例如三大龍頭品牌-舒達(Serta)、 Sealy和蓆夢思(Simmons)-均設有度身訂 造床褥服務。因此,若然你已買了IKEA床 架,甚至想要一張「香港尺寸」的雙人床, 也不愁沒有選擇。買床褥的時候,首先要預 算資金,還要留心價格會否因為附送的贈品 | Text : Elizabeth Kerr | Photo : www.depositphotos.com | We've said it before and we'll probably say it again. Nothing beats a good night's sleep for maintaining good health, mental acuity and, if it's important (and judging by the size of the industry it is), beauty. Hongkongers don't get nearly enough hours in sleeping, making quality more important than quantity. That's where the mattress comes in. "Mattress technology has developed and evolved over the years and certain mattress brands have set the benchmark in the market, so choosing a mattress is as much a cultural as it is a personal choice," begins Moira Roberts of bedding specialists Kokoon, whose international clientele wants every kind of mattress available. "Some customers who go for 'brands' and spend a lot on a mattress and find that they have not purchased the right mattress and end up coming to us for help." Size can be an issue in Hong Kong, but it's not truly an obstacle. Many major brands — the big three being Serta, Sealy and Simmons — can have a mattress made to order, so if you have an IKEA bed frame, brought one from home (European sizes and California Kings are different dimensions) or have opted for the more space-saving "Hong Kong Double," you can find a mattress to fit. So start with budget and stick to it. Mattresses, like most consumer products, can come with all manner of useless bells and whistles that inflate the price and do nothing for your slumber. Years ago Slate (in "Going to the Mattress") pointed out that the most important part of the mattress — its coils — all come from the same source, kind of like how a handful of companies manufacture all smartphone processor chips. So make of that what you will. One thing is certain: pure silk threads, double thickness, organic Brazilian yak tacking and odour repelling free range down padding are unnecessary add-ons.

Well, we're still alive and kickin'; the internet at home is super slow, so I'm going to have to rethink how to blog….I'm so used to snapping pictures with my phone, e-mailing them to myself, and then updating the blog from my computer. Well, I've discovered that I can't attach pictures from my phone (or documents on my computer) via e-mail because the internet is so slow. So, I really have to "plan" to blog….
We've had a cold front roll in this week. Yesterday and today the high has only been 34. But, surprisingly, we don't think it feels that cold….we went on a walk this morning when it was only 26 degrees outside! The weather channel said it felt like 18 degrees outside, but again, we weren't miserable. In fact, we didn't even have coats on, just sweatshirts!
I snapped this picture of Paul yesterday, walking to work!
Today "the boys" (what I affectionately call Paul, Tyler, Graham, and Jim) went to the scrap metal yard to take some metal to sell. (They all go together because usually they get enough money for all of them to go out to lunch afterwards)! Paul snapped these pictures….
Can I just say how grateful I am that Paul has friends?!! It is such a blessing to me, as a wife, to see him have friends again. Giddings was a lonely place for us; we didn't have a lot of close friends and struggled to find people to "share life with." All of our friends in Giddings had kids (which was TOTALLY fine) but it seemed they were all so occupied with family stuff that we never really connected with anyone. Here, because we live at camp, we just have an extended family, automatically. Sunday night we went for a walk around the pond. While walking we ran into Jim, Graham, and Ember. An hour after our walk we ended up at Jim and Ember's, having a campfire in their backyard. Then, Jim and Graham came over and watched a movie with Paul. Monday night I needed to borrow something from Ember, so we walked over to their house. They were having a campfire, so we stuck around for about 45 minutes. Then, later that night, we ran into them again….on a walk. Last night Jim and Graham came over (again) to watch another movie with Paul. AND ALL OF THAT was just in a matter of three days!! 🙂 See, isn't it good to have a "camp family!!??"
And, as I mentioned, I have about three more pictures that I'd like to put into this blog post, but for some reason, they won't upload….so, it'll have to be updated at another time!
