Experts agree that having a good espresso machine, coffee grinder, espresso tamper, and the right selection of coffee beans are paramount to achieving espresso that is brimming with flavor and aroma.
The Espro Tamper features a patent pending mechanism built into the handle that provides feedback in the form of a subtle click indicating that exactly thirty pounds of downward pressure has been achieved. At last, there is an espresso tamper that takes all of the guesswork of tamping espresso grounds. Now you can be expert after just a few tamps!
Thirty pounds of downward pressure is considered by espresso experts to be the optimum pressure applied to espresso grounds to achieve an even and level pressure, which in turn yields a consistent espresso time after time. It has been suggested that one should use a bathroom scale to get the feel of what thirty pounds of downward pressure feels like.
The revolutionary Espro Tamper is the only tamper currently in production that is spring loaded to measure the exact amount of tamping pressure needed for perfect espresso extraction. Excellent as a training tool or as a great addition to your espresso preparation toolbox, this innovative product takes the guesswork out of gauging the right amount of tamping pressure.
Each Espro Tamper is carefully crafted with a polished stainless steel base, anodized turned metal handle, heavy-duty steel spring components and attention to detail like no other. The manufacturer, Espro, Inc., has a great deal of knowledge about the manufacture of high quality, innovative, espresso brewing accessories. They set out to not only design a functional tool, but also one that would draw you in with its ease of use and revolutionary design. There is clearly nothing like the Espro Tamper in production today. Compare the Espro Tamper for price and convenience to other automatic tampers that cost hundreds more.

The Espro Dillinger is built to stand the roughest treatment a tamper might endure in the most grueling of commercial environments, and then some. As Espro puts it, "The Dillinger tamper is tough as nails. Actually, it's quite a bit tougher. We made it for those who like to push the boundaries."
Made of vacuum hardened stainless-steel, the Dillinger is three times tougher than a regular tamper. For those who need their tampers harder still, the Espro Dillinger is available with a black diamond-like coating for five times' more strength.

Rattleware tampers all feature highly durable, impact resistant ABS handles and precision stainless steel bases for an even tamp. Each tamper is a one-piece item, which means it will not fall apart, it is durable, and there are no nooks to clean out, so low maintenance.
To choose the right size for your tamper base, measure the diameter of the inside of your portafilter (in millimeters). Your tamper should be just smaller than your portafilter for a snug, but not too tight, fit for ease of use. If you have any questions about sizing please refer here or contact us for help!
We offer three different handle shapes for our Rattleware tampers:
The handle has a flat top with rounded edges that can help
Large Round:
This tall handle with a smooth round finish overall is very easy to grip comfortably.
Small Round:
This smaller-handled tamper is perfect for those with smaller hands.
Each of these tampers come in a base size of 53, 57, or 58mm.View full product details
These available base shapes were all carefully designed to allow baristas an option. All of these bases are compatible with the screw-on Reg Barber handles we carry, and were crafted with care to deliver the perfect tamp every time.
This is the standard shape for most tampers. It creates an even surface. It is best used for espresso machines where the shower (where the water comes out) is also flat in shape.
Features a flat surface in the centre with sloped sides (Euro Curve around the edges). It creates a wall that seals in the grinds, and prevents water from going around the puck. This shape can help the coffee grinds get infused by the water more for a richer taste.
This is essentially the C-Flat with ripples that create a more textured finish. This helps to keep the water more evenly distributed for consistency with the coffee to water contact. The C-Ripple was used by the World barista Champion of 2009.
American Curve:
The American Curve has the slightest rounded curve. Like the Euro Curve, it encourages water to the center of the puck and away from the edges, giving a more infused flavour.
Lazy V:
For those who need a big base for a VST basket! Reg Barber's big base won't create suction and won't stick in your porta filter. Out of stock.
We, at Green Beanery, recommend the stainless steel bases for practicality, as they are the most resistant to rust and scratches (meaning easy, low maintenance). The Brass finish is also highly resistant to weathering but will require some work to maintain its lustrous and classy finish. The Copper base is recommended for those with a more rustic look to match with, but we do warn that Copper is the most prone to tarnishing and will require maintenance on the user's part with regular cleaning and drying. Essentially, all three materials deliver the same high-quality tamp if used with good technique.View full product details
We have a variety of Reg Barber tampers with different bases, handles, and logos to choose from! The bases and handles of these tampers are fully replaceable, so you can change up the look of your espresso station with ease. Reg Barber is among the best in the world for tamper quality, both in looks and performance. For over 20 years, they have been creating new styles and methods of manufacturing these essential tools.
Base Options:
Each tamper base has a specific size, shape and material.
The size to purchase depends on your portafilter. Choose a tamper size that is .5-1 mm smaller than the inner diameter of your portafilter. Many espresso machines have a standard portafilter size, making it easier to find the right tamper for you.
We offer two standard shapes for tamper bases; flat or american curve. It is best to match the shape of your tamper to the curvature of the 'shower' of the machine you use (ie. where the water comes out and makes contact with the grinds).
For materials, Reg Barber recommends the stainless steel, as it is the least maintenance over time and maintains its sleek finish. The copper and brass bases are more likely to tarnish, but their heavier feel and classier look make for a higher-end tamper. For actual use, the different materials essentially perform the same.
Handle Options:
Wood handles:
Reg Barber tamper handles are made from a variety of luxurious woods from around the world. Each tamper can take up to four days to make before the handcrafting process is complete. The tampers are shaped and turned on a wood lathe, then hand sanded and polished for a beautiful finish. The wood handles come with a white inlaid crown to prevent damage to your equipment from contact with the side of a porta-filter. Our wood varieties are listed below:
Bubinga: also known as African Rosewood. It is a deep red African hardwood with a dark grain.
Maple: High quality Eastern Canadian Maple wood, with a soft golden finish.
Powder-coated Handles:
These tampers are hand-crafted with aluminum, turned on a CNC lathe. They are then coated with a dry powder applied electrostatically, and cured under heat. Once they are completed, they have a beautiful smooth finish. Powder coating is more durable than conventional paint and looks stunning!
Our available colours are: black, red, yellow, blue
Anodized Steel Handles:
Reg Barber chose the anodizing technique for its durability. This involves immersing the handles in a chemical bath and applying an electrical current to it, causing oxide to be produced from the resulting rust on the aluminum. This layer of oxide hardens the aluminum and makes it resistant to corrosion.
We offer these handles in a red, blue and black.

New Delhi, Dec 3 (IANS) Three fishermen from Tamil Nadu, detained by Iranian authorities after their Saudi-owned trawler was confiscated in January this year, have been released following intervention by the Indian government.
The fishermen are flying back home on Tuesday.
Union Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan tweeted: "Acting on a report, had reached out to 3 Tamil Nadu fishermen Sh Irudhayaraj, Sh Greedwin and Sh Pradeep, detained by the Iranian authorities. With the help of our Embassy in Tehran all 3 are flying back to India today!"
The three Indian fishermen from Tuticorin district of Tamil Nadu were working for a Saudi Arabia-based fishing company.
The Iranian Navy had confiscated their Saudi Arabian trawler in January this year and detained the men.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E.K. Palaniswami had in February written to then External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj requesting that the government should secure the release of the three fishermen and get them repatriated immediately.

A YEAR has passed since Elisa Izquierdo died, killed by her mother in the worst case of child abuse the authorities said they had ever seen. The 6-year-old could have been saved. But she was failed by every institution and government employee who might have changed her deadly fate.
Elisa's death traumatized New York, creating an overpowering desire to find meaning in a senseless tragedy, to find ways to save all the Elisas of the future. That is, of course, impossible. Government cannot stop every depraved adult bent on tormenting a child, as recent deaths have demonstrated and Public Advocate Mark Green noted in a report this week, and as Nicholas Scoppetta, the Commissioner of the Administration for Children's Services, readily concedes. ''You can't avoid every tragedy, but you can do better than we are doing,'' he said this week.
Perhaps all that can be said on this grim anniversary is that government is trying to stop the hurt and maybe, in some instances, it will. Linda Schleicher, director of policy for Local 371 of the Social Services Employees Union, said it is too soon to judge if Mr. Scoppetta is succeeding.
''Everything is fairly chaotic because a lot of changes have been started,'' she said. ''It's hard to know how some will turn out in long run. Some may be a big improvement, and some may be the same old thing in different guises.''
ONE significant change was the State Legislature's. Lawmakers finally approved a measure, long sponsored by Senator Roy M. Goodman of Manhattan, that lifts the veil of secrecy from abuse cases so the public can find out what happened and government can be held accountable. The law does not mandate full disclosure, and the public is not getting it. But New Yorkers are learning more than they used to, and for the first time in memory two workers, both assigned to the Izquierdo case, were disciplined.
Another change came from City Hall. Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, who early in his tenure had cut funds from the city's child welfare agency to balance the budget, provided money to hire 200 caseworkers, reorganized the children's agency, put it under his direct control -- making him accountable -- and brought in Mr. Scoppetta.
The Commissioner will soon announce a plan to restructure his agency further, including a move to improve the pay of caseworkers, who start at $26,000 a year and get no salary increase for 10 years unless they become supervisors. That is part of the reason, along with the daunting caseloads and pressure of the job, for the destructive turnover of 49 percent a year.
The most tangible progress is in the training of caseworkers. Caseworkers, who go into homes to assess whether children are being abused or might be abused, are now getting 25 days of initial training, instead of 20, at the Child Protective Services Academy in Queens. And instead of going to work immediately, with no on-the-job training, they are assigned to training units and gradually increased caseloads for three months. After six months, they return for 19 more days of training.
Even experienced workers are getting a refresher course in ''risk assessment'' -- how to judge a child's risk of harm -- and for the first time, applicants have to demonstrate English proficiency and pass written and oral tests to graduate. Each applicant needs a bachelor's degree in social work, education or another related area.
''For years, they used to come here as a stepping stone to another job, and leave,'' Evan Bland, a veteran instructor, said the other day at the academy. ''Their cases had to be reassigned, and the whole system went out of control.''
THE academy, in a building on Union Hall Street, is attracting a better caliber of student, said its executive director, Paula Y. Fendall: ''They are better qualified and much sharper.''
Emphasis on sharper. Yesterday, one student said he was worried about government's commitment. ''They only do this when children die,'' said the student, Michael Schneider. ''This poor girl died: here's more money. Say a child doesn't die in three months. Are they going to cut the money?''
It has happened before. After Lisa Steinberg died in 1987 at the hands of her adoptive father, Joel Steinberg, the city devoted more resources to child protection. Training improved, just as it has now. But then came the inevitable budget cuts, and services and training deteriorated.
Mr. Scoppetta is not unaware of the pitfalls: ''This is a real beginning, I think. If we have five more years, there will be institutionalized change.''

Ethiopian Airlines on Tuesday commenced flight operations to Kaduna with Boeing 737-800 aircraft, which landed at the Kaduna International Airport from Addis Ababa at Noon carrying 17 passengers on board.
The flight, with registration number ET-9221, also departed for Addis Ababa at 1:30 pm with 10 officials of Kaduna State Government on board and other passengers.
Speaking before departure of the aircraft, Governor Nasir EI' Rufai said the state had hitherto been disadvantaged in terms of access to the outside world.
The Governor said the state had no access to sea, as well as international flight until the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja was shut for rehabilitation of its runway in March.
He said that with the inaugural flight, the airport had become full fledged and that would enable the people of the state to connect with over 100 destinations using the airline.
According to him, Ethiopian Airlines is the only international airline that has indicated confidence in Kaduna by deciding to fly the route.
"This is a very happy day for me and all of us in Kaduna State because when we came into office, we recognised that Kaduna has two disadvantages.
"The first is that we do not have access to the sea, and the second is that we do not have international flights flying into Kaduna.
"So, our business men and residents have to go to Lagos for access to the sea, or go to Abuja or other destinations to board international flights.
"We decided that we had to work round the clock to remove those disadvantages. l'm happy to say today that with this inaugural international flight out of Kaduna, we have broken the ice."
The Governor assured the management of the carrier that the state government would fully support the airline in order to make the route viable and sustainable.
"We are going on this inaugural flight along with 10 representatives of the Kaduna State.
"Government is to spend two or three nights in Addis and come back because we want to show the airline how grateful we are that this has started."
Earlier, the Ethiopian Ambassador to Nigeria, Samoa Zakaria had said that the airline had always been with Nigeria in good and bad times.
Zakaria said that Kaduna was their fifth destination in Nigeria, adding that it operates five destinations in only two countries, China and Nigeria.
He said that the airline was willing to begin operations to any destination, adding that Ethiopia recognised the big brother role being played by Nigeria in Africa.
"When the Abuja airport was closed, international airlines refused to come to Kaduna. We were also pushed not to come but we came.
"We have so much confidence in the government of Nigeria and that will not change.
"Today, Kaduna is the domestic route of 100 destinations. Also, effective today, Kaduna is connected to 55 African countries and this is what we mean by bringing Africa together and bringing Africa to the world.
"We are capable of bringing Africa together and that is why we are investing a lot in the industry.
"We have the biggest maintenance centre in Africa, five big hangers and the biggest catering services in Africa that can produce over 100 meals a day.
"We also have the largest fleet of 95 aircraft, the largest airline, most profitable and with the largest network in the world."
The Minister of State for Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika said the government would support any airline that showed commitment to growing aviation business in the country.
Sirika, while commending the airline for accepting to commence full operation to Kaduna, said the government would provide an enabling environment for it to succeed.
He also commended the Kaduna State government for its resilience toward developing and encouraging aviation business into the state.
According to him, the government is in position to encourage any airline that has the where withal and the capacity to provide service.
"We will indeed provide the enabling environment for that entrepreneurship to succeed.
"However, I must commend the effort of the government of Kaduna state for its support for aviation.
"So we will encourage Kaduna State Government in its bid to provide employment and ginger economic activities and put their name on the map of aviation worldwide to bring economic benefit to people of the state.
"We thank you for encouraging international airlines to open routes here and we thank Ethiopian airlines for partnering with us because they have been with us since the time we shut down Abuja airport."
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ethiopian Airlines now operates five routes which include Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Enugu and Kaduna. (NAN)

Bernie Sanders Schools Millennial Moron Abby Huntsman on Bill Maher
Here is a cautionary note for any up and coming "Millennials" (aka Generation Ys) seeking to make a bigger and brighter name for themselves over the tube: Educate yourselves first! Abby Huntsman's pathetic appearance last night on Bill Maher's Real Time, reminded me why we have books like Mark Bauerlein's The Dumbest Generation widely circulating.
Huntsman, much like the woefully ignorant 'Kennedy' (aka Lisa Kennedy) last year on Maher's show ( in regard to global warming - who spouted "Sunspots!" as the reason) had to be schooled by Sen. Bernie Sanders on the details of the Chained CPI (i.e. Obama's proposed cut via changing the cost of living to inflation index for seniors on Social Security). She also had no clue, not one, that the federal budget game isn't stacking her Gen Y bunch against my Boomers, but rather BOTH our groups against the Military Industrial Complex, which is sucking us all dry.
But instead of being informed, demonstrating some scintilla of education, she whined about "My generation - what're they gonna do?" like a sniveling nitwit. Bernie tried his best to educate this star of 'Huffpost Live' - in the brief spans of time allotted to him - between her interruptions, as well as those of the congenital moron Stephen Moore. But it seemed at times she was more invested in getting her two cents in than in listening to what the elder statesman Sen. Sanders had to say - given he has about 40 years more experience in the political -economic world.
I know not all Millennials are clones of either Kennedy or Ms. Huntsman, but so far the feature performances are not inspiring.
Regarding 'The Dumbest Generation', readers may recall from a blog three years ago that it revealed how a whole generation of youth (mainly Generation Y'ers) were being dumbed down by their aversion to reading anything of substance, and their addiction to digital crap, and socializing via Twitter, Facebook, etc. Wasting time when they ought to have been developing their minds by accessing the (written) works for politics, science, history, economics etc. As soon as I listened to Huntsman for five minutes, after her first interruption of Sen. Sanders, I pegged her in this category of hyper-social networking twits.
The problem with the hyper-networked bunch is that they erect confected and artificial solipsist worlds in which all the things that bother and bore them are blocked out. In the case of Huntsman, it could well be that she simply didn't care enough to really learn why the Chained CPI is a terrible idea or why her generation isn't losing to us older farts, but rather both of our generations are losing out to the rich fuckers and the war mongering assholes. But her narative, that we (older folks on Social Security) are "taking from" her gen's mouths, and grabbing their jobs - while corporations sit on $1.7 trillion in capital - discloses she's in the same brain league as Kennedy.
Of course, this is exactly the strategy of the Neoliberal scumballs and parasites who are all about "divide and conquer". Regrettably, Abby Huntsman, by her obtuse reaction to Sen. Sanders, shows she's bought this hook, line and sinker. She actually believes in her heart of hearts that we old farts would rather her generation fall behind than that we miss out on our 'goodies' (Never mind Obama plans to cut them!)
Meanwhile, Abby's take on letting the Keystone XL pipeline go through was equally uninformed (adding 'Well, we all have to take risks, like when we walk across the street!' which had Maher falling out of his chair in a pseudo-mock demo) . Abby then interjected "bestiality" in a discussion of same sex marriage. One is left to wonder if she really got all those brains from dad, Jon Huntsman.
Sadly, if Facebook "friending", texting, tweeting and video gaming is what defines a group's limited universe, then their overall education (which must exist beyond any classroom) will be a casualty. As author Bauerlein notes (p. 138):
"For education to happen, people must encounter worthwhile things outside their sphere of interest and brainpower. Knowledge grows, skills improve, tastes refine and conscience ripens only if the experiences bear a degree of unfamiliarity"
What that means, as he further observes, is one must move through and beyond the initial knee-jerk reaction: "I don't get it! That's not for me, not my cup of tea!" Even if it's a blog on the chained CPI, or 'order and disorder' and evolution, or even complex numbers. At least make a minimal effort to learn.
Bauerlein again (ibid.):
"Nobody savors the process, but mature adults realize the benefits. Adolescents don't and digital connections save them the labor of self-improvement…..the screen and cell bombard adolescents with youth trifles and the sporadic brush with challenging subjects that recall their shortcomings are quickly offset by a few minutes back in virtual comfort zones"
And – as the author warns, the "opportunity costs are high". Imagine instead of wasting hours and days on pseudo-socializing (which I define in terms of digital contacts-communication, rather than face-to-face or the famous "bull sessions" such as we used to partake of in the 60s) the young adult pursued actual knowledge aims – learning the conjugation of Russian verbs, or Latin, or how to integrate around a pole using residue calculus, or …just learning about what's transpiring now at the interface of politics and ecoomics, say in terms of financial implications of the sequester, or the history of the deficit and the debt ceiling. Oh....and how U.S. taxes are at the lowest percentage of GDP in over a generation!
Well, yes, to the undeveloped and raw mind. But getting beyond that reaction is what molds and defines the adult. It is, if you will, the sine qua non rite of passage to adulthood in a civilization which generally foregoes such rites.
One hopes Abby Huntsman will learn and actually apply that next time she gets a prime time gig. Assuming she does get one! But given how often superficial looks get a pass in our consumer, 24/7 Bimbo-Himbo corporate media culture, I wouldn't be surprised if her star rises even further after her just concluded 'brainiac' performance!

I am embarrassed to be a peer of Abby Huntsman's. I cannot believe the Huffington Post, or any organization, would employ such an idiot. She was throwing around basic terms like "markets" without ANY context and pretty clearly without any understanding of current events and their repercussions beyond superficial media-minded connotations. Ew.
Well, I guess she made for an entertaining guest. Thank goodness Bernie Sanders was there.

Her use of the term 'marketplace' at one point was definitely stunning and provided an excellent 'in' for Sen. Sanders - who then asked her: "What market place? What do you mean?" He then had to complete her jumbled thoughts for her, by specifying Wall Street and its (controlled) markets, and how corporations are continuing to ratchet up profits by sending jobs overseas to the detriment of us all, especially Millennials.
She was definitely "entertaining" simply by virtue of the sheer scope of her superficial knowledge and mistaking that for adequate qualification to even be in the same room as Sen. Sanders.

Just watched her on Real Time and found her to be annoying and prone to platitudes. She was out of her depth relative to Bernie Sanders' knowledge on most topics discussed, which made it all the more jarring when she'd interject/interrupt him to make some clichèd observation ("What else is new? Everything is political!" when Sanders is explaining Obama's support of Chained CPI). She should thank the other guest, Steve Moore, who's histrionics served to reduce the number of opportunities she had to make a nitwit of herself.

Abby Huntsman is a moron.She got the job because her father got kicked out of the Republican party. Why??? Msnbc do you employ this stupid woman?

"And why should we care what this bimbo thinks? Remind me..."
Short answer: She had air time and too many in this country believe anything they hear and see so long as it's emanating from a talking head on TV.

Floating Mega Solar Power Plant in Japan
Following the devastating earthquake and tsunami off the coast of japan in 2011 — a disaster which brought monumental nuclear accidents to affected cities — the country has had an increasing motivation to consider and exercise solar energy production. Japanese electronics manufacturer Kyocera has recently unveiled a 70 megawatt solar power plant in Kagoshima prefecture, now becoming japan's largest utility-scale facility. a restructured fit program launched by the government stipulated the requirement of local utilities to purchase 100% of the power generated from solar installations of more than 10 kilowatts for a period of 20 years, a promotion for the use of renewable energy. the major project that began in july 2012 has finally begun operation on november 1st, 2013.

Hey, beautiful. Oh my WORD. We have a new pattern for you and I'm positively gushing and drooling over this one.
It's called Jazzy Barista by the amazing designer: Kristina Smiley
She designs many of our patterns for us and is truly remarkable. She has a knack for making patterns simple and delightful and easy to follow.
This beautiful crochet triangle shawl pattern is a pleasure to work up. It features adorable tassels which are all the rage right now. It truly makes me want to grab a novel, rush to the nearest coffee shop, snuggle in and read for hours. How does it make you feel?
There are solid panels and lacy panels. For a fun look, we opted for speckled yarn. This is a joy to dye up and we love how much our customers love these speckled shades! As we have thousands of formulas (no joke), colors come and go so these may or not be in stock when you click over. However, you can always request shades by writing us on the Contact Form here if you like! Just let us know exact yarn colorway and yarn base and our happy team will assist you as best as we can.
We used Woodland Song and Freshly Ground, both dyed onto our Dewy Dk yarn. I chose our Dewy Dk as it's buttery soft and has a major SQUISH factor. You'll just wanna squeeze and squish it all day, 'er day. It's a blend of superwash merino wool (can be machine-washed but I truly recommend hand-washing all of our yarns for longevity of your beautiful, hand-crocheted project), nylon for longevity and strength and a touch of silk for the hintiest hint of glow. All of our yarns are custom spun with high-quality fibers, just for our company and hand-dyed here locally in North Carolina. All of our DK yarn is here.
I know what you're thinking… what if I want to substitute another yarn? The simplest way is to use another DK weight yarn. Ours is about 250 yards per 4 oz/115 g skein.
Now, truly, worsted weight yarn will work as well. If you're buying your yarn in a larger craft store, worsted weight is often denoted with a number 4 weight.
If you feel comfortable with crochet, you can absolutely use other yarn weights. Try sport weight, keep everything else the same (hook size, etc) and you will have a gorgeous shawl as well. It may be a bit more drapey/light/airy.
Try fingering weight and lowering the hook a size or two and you'll have a very lovely drapey shawl.
You can hold lace weight or fingering weight double, stick with the same hook size as required in the pattern and stitch away! So many options.
My motto is, as long as you like the look of it, you're golden. Stitch away, my love!
There are so many ways to wear this beautiful crocheted shawl pattern. Since it's a triangle shawl, my favorite way is to put the point in front and wrap the ends around my neck. Those little tassels really look adorable hanging off the front!
See what I mean? Just wearing this thing made me so happy! 🙂
In case you're wondering about size, hook size, how to make the tassels, etc… you can find more info about this crochet pattern HERE. And yes, that is where you will go to download this pattern!
While you are at it, grab some more patterns here, both knit and crochet. Many are free! And many are free for a limited time only before the price goes to its full amount. If you'd like to receive notifications when these free knit and crochet patterns go live, just join our email list there and I'll let ya know! You'll also get a coupon code to our shop.
No worries – we're cool people! We don't want to bombard you with emails if you don't want to hear from us. I understand we are not for everybody so you can always opt out if you get tired of hearing from me. I may cry into my soup a bit but I will wish you well and hope we reconnect at a later date. 🙂
Another thing… I am 5'1″ – I hope that helps you to visualize the size of this shawl.
If you're wondering how to make those tassels, I have a tutorial already made for ya! See it here! The link is also provided in this crochet pattern PDF so you'll have access to it later when you're ready for it.
I could talk on and on about this beautiful triangle crochet shawl pattern, however… I know you are probably anxious to just go make the darn thing. So I'm gonna shoosh.
Have a most DELIGHTFUL day and find some time today to knit or crochet! You deserve it! Life is too short to do dishes all the time, I say. HAHA! Create something!
Chandi (and happy team!)

I have a few adjustments I'd like to make to my blog. I like where everything is, I just want to change the background.
I would like a gray background, which I know how to do, but I also want a white background behind my actual posts, so that I could keep the text colour black.
Does this make sense? Can someone help? Am I posting in the right place?
Thanks in advance,

SEO. Search Engine Optimization. Three little letters that define to the search engine bots what content is on each page and post of your website and which collectively work to affect your rankings or visibility in search engines.
Why should you care about your images?
Google does. If you do a search for your business name in Google and click on the "images" tab, you want to make sure that you and your website is showing up at the top of those images. If you're not, you have some work to do. Don't believe me? Go to Google and type in "activate her awesome" and check out how many of my images are at the top of the page! AND they all link to my website. Instant credibility.
Once upon a time, I had no idea about the best practices I'm going to let you in on today. I wish I had known so much sooner.
Here's my list of 5 things you can do each time you upload an image to your website to improve your SEO.
I'll also add a video tutorial showing you how I do each step below!
1. Resize your image to reduce the load time of your images.
If you're using an Apple computer, you can use Preview to do this. Open the image in Preview then go to Tools >> Adjust Size. Making sure the size is in pixels and the lock symbol is clicked on, adjust your image dimensions. My personal best practice involves setting full width images to 1800 px in width and images to be used within a page or post to be 100px in width. If I'm creating a social media post, I'll do 2500 px in width (because they compress the crap out of our beautiful images and they need to be that large to show up fully).
You can also use Canva to do this. Check out the tutorial below.
2. Before you upload any image to your website, make sure you rename it in plain language that is also descriptive.
For example. For the featured image on this post, I've named it "5 Things You Can Do To Improve Your SEO Today by Krista Smith at ActivateHerAwesome.com".
3. Make sure you're using the right file type.
Use Jpeg images as much as you can. JPEGs are much smaller in size than PNGs. If you need a transparent background, go for png. If you're downloading from Canva, they often come in with the PNG suffix. You can use this website to make them into jpegs.
4. Optimize the file size of your images.
This is different than reducing the actual dimensions of your image. You can use https://tinyjpg.com/ or https://tinypng.com/ to easily do this to every image you're about to upload to your website.
5. Make sure to customize the ALT tags and Description of each image.
I typically copy and paste the file name in each of these fields. I do this so that when someone shares my post or page on Pinterest in particular, the description is accurate!
Here's an easy video showing you what I do each step of the way:
That's it! 5 easy things you can start doing today to improve your SEO!
Not interested in doing this each time you upload an image? Reach out and inquire about working with me. I do this for my clients all the time!

Hi, Krista. Thank you for this wonderful advice. I hit a snag. I used 2500 x 2500 on canva, downloaded it as a png, but tinypng tells me that my file is too large. They have a max. of 5 MB and mine comes in at 5.9. Perahps it only works if you pay for png pro?

Unfortunately, bathroom mold is one of the most common household problems that homeowners face. Due to the fungus being drawn to damp, dark and isolated places, there's a good chance you'll experience mold in your home at one point or another especially if preventative measures aren't taken. But don't let the ugly "M" word scare you. There's good news! As stated, there are ways to prevent mold and if you already have it, ways to easily get rid of it.
Before we outline how to prevent and cure mold issues, let's talk about detection. The most obvious way to discover whether you're suffering from a mold problem is if you can see or smell the fungus. However, it isn't always so set in stone. Sometimes, you have to play a game of hide & seek. Try looking under your sink, behind your toilet, or underneath your shower's access door. There are plenty of hidden spaces that are prone to excess moisture where mold could be making a home in your bathroom.
Taking action to prevent mold requires a few steps to keep in mind.
- Firstly, always ensure your bathroom is properly ventilated as this tends to be the most common reason for mold growth in the first place. When bathing or showering, always turn the fan on during your bath or shower and leave it on for 30 minutes once you're finished.
- Take care to ensure your household humidity levels are below 50 percent. Utilize your air conditioner as this will help combat the humidity, especially in the summer when the house starts building moisture more quickly. If you don't have an air conditioning unit, use a dehumidifier which can also help.
- Invest in a shower rack to place your shampoo, conditioner and soap bottles. Leaving them on your bath's shelving areas will only encourage mold to grow and hide.
- Always make sure to wash your shower curtain. Unless you have a mildew-resistant shower curtain, these are a fungi's playground. Also, invest in a mildew-resistant shower curtain!
- Keep your bathroom rugs washed and clean at all time.
If you already have mold making itself comfortable in your bathroom, curing your space of mold is relatively simple (given it's not a substantial mold issue that requires professional attention)
- Clean your bathroom with bleach, vinegar OR hydrogen peroxide, all fantastic for killing out mold. Never mix these products as they can cause toxic reactions, so just choose one. Ensure you keep your windows and doors open while cleaning to help dry out the mold.
- Tear off and replace any caulking that has developed the fungus.
When clearing your bathroom of mold, source the problem in the first place, kill the mold and THEN remove it. This will help start the preventative cycle of ensuring you never get mold again. If you have questions or need advice on how to prevent mold from occurring in your bathroom or anywhere else in your home, call Lloyd! There's no obligation and he is more than happy to lend out his knowledge on household mold issues and of course, inspection services!
Need the C4U Eyes? Lloyd doesn't break the rules for anyone and as a leading chief home inspector in BC, that means he follows industry requirements, government regulations and licensing codes of conduct to the letter. He offers unbiased, ethical and professional home inspections and building consultation services. Contact Lloyd from C4U Inspections today and he'll be happy to help you out.

Deception is to think that a man who loves you won't want to touch you. You hear Christian ladies say "if he loves you, he won't even think of having sex with you as a Christian."
The truth is, irrespective of a man's status or religious inclinations, once he develops interest in you, the subject of wanting you is already in the wings, even though it may lie dormant."
A man who loves you will definitely want to have sex with you! In fact, the deeper and more intense the love is, the more he wants to consummate his love for you quickly. It is both a natural and a supernatural order, once the mind is there, the body naturally follows.
The difference however between the carnal and spiritual man is that, while they both feel and want the same thing, the spiritual man has control over his mind and body and as such won't want to defy or defile you.
The natural man has no such control measures and is liable to follow the direction of his erection.
So if you have been in that relationship for a while and you are both keeping yourselves, don't assume that he is so spiritual that he can't touch you and won't touch you.
The bottom line is this:
Don't be gullible to the extent that you believe nothing would happen, even if he can speak in tongues from here to the pacific. And watch out for signs- of absolute self-control and respect for you in the area of sex.
I am not talking about you affirming this by saying he has never had an erection near you, in this case you even have to be sure he is not suffering from erectile dysfunction. In fact, ask him to go and do a test if your church doesn't normally request for it.
Is it as serious as that? Yeah, it is very serious.
Don't base your findings on the absence of erection, let it be firmly assured by the conditioning of his heart.
Is he a Christian brother? Watch out for the fear of God in his life, that's what will keep and save you both.
Look out for the moment he withdraws his hands and keeps them in his pockets, look out for the periods his breathing becomes heavy and he turns away momentarily from you, look out for the times you are supposed to meet and he cancels your meeting, look out for the fear of God and the restraining ability of the Holy Spirit.
In those moments, help him as you can- in demeanor and comportment, dressing and carriage, words and conversations. But most importantly, help him on your knees.
Help him approach heaven from your own end.
Are you thinking that is much work? Actually, the
Benefit is more of yours than his.

Cato News Notes
The blog Empirical SCOTUS recently attempted to quantify the quality of amicus briefs filed at the Supreme Court using BriefCatch, a popular legal analytical tool that measures briefs' performances on five criteria: flow, plain English, punchiness, reading happiness, and sentence length. Using this system, they ranked the Cato Institute as the top overall amicus brief filer for the 2017–2018 Supreme Court term. "In an era where some scholars question whether oral arguments have very much utility, briefs — and especially amicus briefs — are thought to play a unique role in Supreme Court decisionmaking," the blog noted. "High‐quality writing remains one of the best ways for groups to get the Court's attention, especially when the group does not have the institutional presence of the United States."
In June, Cato's David Bier won "Best Activism Journalism" at the Southern California Journalism Awards for his May 2017 Reason magazine piece, "Why the Wall Won't Work: The Legal, Practical, Economic, and Moral Case against Trump's Border Barrier." The judges called his piece "a thorough, brick‐by‐brick explanation why the Trump wall won't work."
Turkish journalist and author Mustafa Akyol joined the Cato Institute as a senior fellow in June. A regular contributing opinion writer for the New York Times, Akyol also writes regularly for Turkish publications such as the Hürriyet Daily News and for the Middle East–focused Al-Monitor.com. Akyol is the author of Islam without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty, praised by the Financial Times as "a forthright and elegant Muslim defense of freedom." His book has been published in multiple languages but was banned in Malaysia after Akyol was arrested by the country's "religious police" for delivering a lecture on religious freedom.

Is 'Spectre' really the 'worst Bond in 30 years?' Don't believe the anti-hype
And once again, the Englishman saves the world. Spectre has the second biggest opening of any of the 24 canonical EON Productions James Bond films. To inflame the Bond fever, some 15 earlier 007 films are now streaming on Hulu Plus, including the magnificent 1969 cult Bond On Her Majesty's SecretService, an early attempt to bring Bond back to earth and to make him as much a lover as he is a fighter.
Spectre is a matter of controversy—"Worst Bond in 30 years," cries one critic, Scott Mendelson of Forbes. This, even though Spectre delivers what the fans had wanted for decades: the resurrection of the British secret agent's greatest enemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The Professor Moriarity of the Bond saga, Blofeld is played this time around by Christoph Walz.
Even people who dislike the rest of Spectre admire the lavish opening sequence in Mexico City during a Dia de Los Muertos parade, shot seamlessly in a way that's been compared to the endless tracking in the movie Birdman, and finishing with a fist fight in a helicopter over a crowded Zocalo. Bond's been to Mexico before, in the pre-titles of Goldfinger (1964) and in License to Kill (1989). The parade of skeletons deservedly welcomes this killer, who has come in so many faces over the course of the last 50 years. He keeps coming back from the dead, surviving "this ever-changing world in which we're living" to quote that awful Paul McCartney song from Live and Let Die.
Craig is peerless in highlighting Bond's suffering. Homely yet handsome, like Clark Gable, well-built and bemusingly human, Craig wears the mask of Bond perhaps better than any actor, though Connery's particular heft in the part keeps drawing you back beyond the technical limitations of the 1960s Bonds and the awkward sexuality. And yet Craig may be on his way out. Time Out London's Dave Calhoun recently asked him about his plans for the next Bond movie, and Craig reacted like a man discussing the prospect of Monday morning's work during a Friday night at the pub: "I'd rather slash my wrists" than revisit the role, he said.
But Craig cares about the role—a sentiment he makes clear later on in the less frequently quoted part of the interview. Giving hypothetical advice to the next actor to take up the mask of James Bond, Craig said, "You've got to step up … people do not make movies like this anymore. This is really rare now … you've got to push yourself as far as you can. It's worth it. It's James Bond."
Bond mirrors what Robert Warshow said was the essence of the Western movie hero: "He has his own kind of relevance. He is there to remind us of the possibility of style in an age that has put on itself the burden of pretending that style has no meaning."
And Spectre is rich with style. Maybe the best moment besides the Zocalo scene is the one that gives Craig's Bond and Léa Seydoux's lovely Madeleine Swann some negative space, when they wait at a train station in the desert, soon to be the guests of the natty, cheerful and criminally insane Blofeld. The madman has his musings about the best way to torture, in uncredited dialogue by Kingsley Amis. (Amis wrote a very good Bond novel once, Colonel Sun.) Waltz is a sterling Blofeld, the living embodiment of the eye that never sleeps, the ear that hears all.
Leaving the movie, I am stopped in my tracks by the image of Craig on the Spectre promotional poster—so magnificently insolent and slouching next to the splendid Seydoux—and I think of Shakespeare: What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?
The studios make blockbusters, but they don't make larger than life movies. Craig was right: "People don't make movies like this anymore." When was the last time you saw a movie star hold his space like that, without irony or apology? The posters, lining the ever-emptier hallways of multiplexes, do what a movie ought to do. That is, to summon its fans from whatever morass life has caught them in, to provide wickedness and peril.
SPECTRE With Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes and Monica Bellucci. Directed by Sam Mendes. Rated PG-13. 148 minutes.
SECRET AGENT, MAN Daniel Craig once again plays James Bond in 'Spectre.'

My Father
1910 – 1994 83 and 5 months old
My motive is to preserve the memory of my father as I perceive it. I have chosen to only remember the good and dismiss all negative encounters and events. Exceptions to this rule is when I remember a negative that is humorous.
I would also like to put in writing the following: I forgive my father for each and every confrontation we ever had throughout our lifetime. I choose to believe that if he were here right now, he would forgive me the same. If I forgive someone, I do not hold grudges. I believe that if you forgive something or someone the score should be placed back to zero and a new beginning is created.
As time goes on I will reflect stories and perhaps a bio on him. If anyone reading this page remembers things about Fred, by all means email me and write out the story as best you can. I will then post it on this website.

YOUNGSTOWN — Google is looking for cities where it can install an incredibly fast communications network, and Youngstown wants to be considered.
A local team will begin meeting next week to develop a proposal for how it would use the broadband, fiber-optic network, which Google said will be 100 times faster than current high-speed networks.
Jim Cossler, who assembled the team, is looking for practical ideas about how super-fast connections can help improve society. He is the director of the Youngstown Business Incubator.

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President,
It is with great disappointment that I write this letter. This morning, the Department of Housing and Urban Development announced the second round of Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds, and a proposal for my District, which had been praised by the Brookings Institution as a proposal that "represents an unprecedented level of multi-jurisdictional collaboration," was not funded. This decision is particularly egregious due to the inadequate level of funding received by my District in the initial program funding round.
The cities of Youngstown, Warren, Niles, Girard, Struthers, Campbell, Lowellville, McDonald, and Newton Falls – the Mahoning River Cities Consortium – proposed an innovative redevelopment effort that would utilize $32 million to stabilize neighborhoods that are facing unprecedented population loss, widespread substandard housing, and vacancy rates substantially above the national average. Add to those neighborhood issues significant losses to local manufacturing and service industries, above-average subprime loan rates, and a foreclosure rate that exceeds 11 percent – and you have a region that should be at the forefront of this type of assistance.
This Administration has lauded the benefits of collaboration and importance of government efficiency, yet both were ignored in the denial of this application. The regional cooperation advocated by this application is a model that should have been awarded full funding and replicated by other communities in the Rust Belt and, indeed, across the nation. The Department of Housing and Urban Development has missed a prime opportunity to recognize the plight of those smaller, older industrial cities that have suffered a major decline and are presented with a weak recovery in this economy at best. Given the quality of the proposal and the need of residents of my District, it is hard for me to believe that of the $2 billion announced today, the Mahoning River Cities proposal was of no merit.
As the Congressman of the 17th Congressional District, in which all nine of these cities are located, I plan to raise this issue when Youngstown Mayor Jay Williams and I meet at the White House next week. In addition, I am seeking an opportunity to meet with HUD Secretary Donovan as soon as possible. I will ask the Secretary that our proposal be reconsidered, or that some other form of assistance be forthcoming. The people of my District are looking to the Federal Government as an ally in this recovery effort, but the denial of this grant opportunity is a setback that we can ill afford.

Prince tells incident for mental health kindnes Heads Together that he opened up about Dianas death only three years ago
Prince Harryhas outlined on its own experience of losing his mother to spotlight mental health issues, uncovering that he regrets not talking sooner about how her death affected him.
The 31 -year-old spoke to footballer Rio Ferdinand, a father-god of three whose bride, Rebecca Ellison, died from cancer last year, about dealing with the death of a parent.
Harry, who firstly spoke publicly three years ago about potential impacts of the deaths among Diana, Princess of Wales in a automobile accident in 1997, when he was 12, told the former England and Manchester United footballer: You know, I certainly repent not ever talking about it.
The exchange took place at a Kensington Palace barbecue attended by a number of plays whizs hosted by Heads Together, was established by Harry with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to bring together eight mental health issues kindness and organisations with the aim of tackling the stigma around sadnes and other mental health problems.
Ferdinand, the athletes Dame Kelly Holmes and Iwan Thomas, and the cyclist Victoria Pendleton were among the guests.
The prince told the BBC: The key message here today is that everyone can suffer from mental health issues. Whether you are a member of the royal family, whether you are a soldier, whether you are a boasts hotshot, whether you are a team play, individual boast, whether you are a white-hot van move, whether youre a father, father, small children, it doesnt really matter.

Trade the DAX in firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello friends DAX traders.
We are Tuesday, 13th of October. It is 02:09 pm French time. We will try to see together different strategies on the Dax. Until Friday, It was bearish and I will explain why.
Our signals :
So, here are our signals and as usual, if you want you can note them for you :
We will look at what it has given. We are on the Dax in 5 minutes. We will look at a simple thing : with the price action, you see we have a nice reversal pattern.
Friday, I was in a bearish channel. So, I was only looking for sales positions. Since Monday, we got this figure with that maribozu which is pretty impressive but that's normal with Dax. And so far, today I will only search longs. I'll explain why.
So, the first signal today was 07:08 am (London time of course). It was given neutral. And actually, it was the beginning of a consolidation. There are also 09:32 am which I let you verify by yourself on your own station. So, here is our first long to be taken at 09:32 am. At 10:53 am, we are in a small range.
And now we are expecting the one at 12:10 pm which was announced quite powerful. And indeed, this is our first reversal signal. Today, we should not panic because we have this form that comes often after great bullish and bearish moves also. We have small flat consolidations, which is quite normal. Today, I only searched longs.
What our robot give us :
I'm now switching on our robot. You will see that we also have prices that are displayed. And it gives a completely different angle. You see that here, we have the price cycles are displayed first in red that are more powerful cycles and which have pierced several times. We also had this rebound here. On this cycle, we had a small little feeling of weakness. Yet it bounces, we still have something that is begining and that will rise up again in my opinion.
We have this indication here, where we're below. We just miss a little more indication to support this analysis, but you see we're still around our point (this line). That is to say, at 9884 if I'm not mistaken. And as I said, I will seek only longs today, that's my strategy !
We are waiting our next signals which are : 03:44 pm, 04:23 pm and 05:05 pm (London time of course). I urge you to watch particularly watch the one at 03:44 pm. I am telling it now. We'll see it in a moment or maybe we will talk about it tomorrow.
Do not miss our live trading sessions !
We have a new workshop where we talk about everything here : we will talk about cycles. We, also speak about Gann (for those who are interested). There would be many things to say about Gann, it would certainly take many workshops to discuss about the different techniques of Gann. But, we will focus on one or two techniques and particularly, the geometry of the market : the angular geometry of markets. For the people who are followers of the mid long-term positions (who keep their positions 2 or 3 days), it will give you new benchmarks. These are things that you have probably never heard.
You know that I love the price action, the angular relationship (the forms that the market can take) which is one of the most important things to look at.
We will also speak a bit of the harmonic patterns and different other things which depends also on your level. You can ask all the questions you want. It will take place in a relaxed atmosphere in Paris.
Until then, I wish you good trades. See you soon for the DAX !
Watch right away :To receive your 100% free signals : You want to anticipate and predict the markets, while the others still rely on scenarios based on technical analysis ? What you'll find here you will not find it anywhere else. I will show you the "INTRADAY METHOD" based on the cycles :
- How to get in position without stress more easily than with any known method.
(Test it and chechk out how much time you will gain …)
- My personal method of Trading, that has nothing to do with what you have seen or heard, and how to copy it (I show you my screens with absolutely everything.
- How to ENTER and exit of position knowing in advance where and when …

Our Story
Emerging Trend: Men's Engagement Rings
Engagement rings have always been a symbol of a promise and a commitment to get married in the near future. While traditionally given to women by their boyfriends, engagement rings are becoming more popular for men to wear. Some women are choosing to propose to their boyfriends rather than the other way around and they want a physical representation of their love to present to their boyfriends upon proposing. Additionally, LBGTQ+ couples are getting engaged now that gay marriage is legal in the U.S., and they are electing to wear men's engagement rings to show the world their love and commitment. Outside of these two circumstances, some men simply wish to have a symbol of their engagement. Because of all of these reasons, men's engagement rings are becoming increasingly common and are a growing trend amongst today's engaged couples.
Men's Engagement Ring Styles
The great thing about men's engagement rings is that there are so many styles to choose from. Whether you want something simple and small, bold and ornate or unique and personal, J.R. Dunn Jewelers has a large selection of stylish men's engagement rings, and you're sure to find the perfect one. Take a look at the different styles available and some examples of each.
Simple & Minimalist
Often, men want an engagement ring but don't want it to be too showy or extravagant. The classically simple Crown Ring White Gold & Black Carbon Band is a perfect option for this type of guy. This men's engagement ring is minimalist while chic yet masculine.
For a bold but simple look, this Triton Tungsten Carbide Band is perfect. This men's engagement ring shows the natural beauty and strength of tungsten carbide, and it is embellished with three distinct cuts around the band. This ring embodies strength, durability and boldness.
It's only fitting for a modern man to have a modern ring. If that's your couple's style, we've got some incredible modern men's engagement rings. The Lashbrook Flattwist EuroSquare Band is stunning and unique—it has a square shape, an acid-finished Damascus steel and a unique, one-of-a-kind flat twist pattern.
The Lashbrook Cobalt Chrome & Meteorite Band is distinctive and contemporary. The inlay is made with actual meteorite, while the beveled band is a modern cobalt chrome. The end result is a fashionable yet original men's engagement ring.
With a gorgeous balance of 14kt rose gold and 14kt white gold, this Crown Ring Two-Tone Band is a perfect example of elegant masculinity. Its striking details include textured metal and it is a great way to show the world that you are proudly spoken for.
For a more modern take on a two-tone masculine engagement ring, consider this Crown Ring White Gold & Black Carbon Band. With 18kt white gold as its base and a thick line of black carbon running through the center, the streamlined, chic design embodies rugged sophistication and bold masculinity.
For the robust outdoorsman, there are many nature-inspired men's engagement rings to choose from. One of the most popular is the Lashbrook Cobalt Chrome & Camo Band. The cobalt chrome perfectly outlines the 4mm camo inlay, perfectly combining ruggedness and class.
For another striking nature-inspired engagement ring for men, take a look at the Lashbrook Damascus Steel & Wood Band. This ring is perfect for that strong and reliable man who loves the outdoors and wants a touch of it with him all the time. The wooden inlay comes from an African hardwood, and the Damascus steel is acid-finished for a perfect balance of industrial and rustic style.
Diamonds aren't just for women anymore. Some men want their engagement ring to be just as sparkly as a classic women's engagement ring, so we've got a number of stunning diamond-embellished men's engagement rings. This Crown Ring White Gold Diamond Band is made of 18kt white gold and features pave diamonds set in sections throughout the band. It's an innovative adaptation of a traditional diamond engagement ring that is perfect for a diamond-loving guy.
This Tacori Diamond & Sterling Silver Ring is an absolutely dazzling diamond-embellished men's engagement ring. With several pave diamonds inset into the top of this ring, it will sparkle and shine in the best way possible, telling the world in a bold and beautiful way that you are taken.
How to Choose the Perfect Men's Engagement Ring
Whether you're buying for yourself or your soon-to-be fiancé, choosing the perfect men's engagement ring doesn't have to be overwhelming. Knowing the style preference of the one you're buying for is key, as is knowing their opinion about men's engagement rings. Does he want something showy to match his colorful personality? Does he want something masculine and rugged that reflects his lifestyle? Or does he want something simple that is just a small, sweet statement of his relationship?
You also need to consider the metal of the ring and any embellishments that he may desire. Some available metals include white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, steel, tungsten carbide, sterling silver, zirconium, titanium and chrome. Embellishments include diamonds, meteorite, black carbon, wood and more. There are so many options available, and by knowing the personal preferences of your guy, you can easily select the perfect men's engagement ring that is sure to wow him.
