Introduction: After Supper
For this project I decided to depict my own idea of what would likely happen shortly after a man in his mid thirties had a dozen or so friends over for a going-away party. Of course if he was unmarried and living with his mother, she would be cleaning up the dishes and tidying up the table.
Step 1: Step 1
For this project you will need:
White glue (preferable)
Coloured paper - if you are copying exactly you should have brown, blue, yellow, grey, green and white and a colour for the figure's face
Brown acrylic paint (optional)
An egg, or if you are prone to breakages - two eggs
A needle
A small paintbrush
Bowl (for the contents of the egg)
Exacto knife
Step 2: Step 2
Pierce the egg at both ends with the needle.
Blow out insides of egg into bowl. (feel free at this point to pause and put the egg in the fridge, make an omlette or call yuor cat to eat the egg)
Once you have the empty egg, draw a line down the middle of the egg.
Score the egg with the exacto knife.
Repeat the scoring, being careful to stay on the same lines until your knife goes through the egg shell.
Gently pry apart the two halves.
Rinse the egg well under the tap and dry gently. This is a good time for the omlette.
If you have never tried this before or you just want t o make lots and lots of display egg things - blow out several eggs at the same time. This will save time in the long run.
Step 3: Step 3
Take one of the egg halves and trace it on the brown paper. I wanted my ground/floor to be sunken in about 5mm so I trimmed the shape unitl its was the size I wanted.
Rip up some paper into small squares (about 2x2 cm) and squish them into small balls.
Line the bottom of the egg with a bit of white glue using your paintbrush.
Place the small paper balls (about the size of the spit balls you used to make at school) onto the glue in the bottom of the egg.
Add a bit more glue and continue to add paper balls until the bottom of the egg has reached the level you would like the ground to be in your egg.
Put some glue onto the paper balls an dpress the ground onto them.
Step 4: Step 4
Roll a small piece of the blue paper into a cone and cut down to size when dry. Mine is about 1 cm tall.
Cut out the shape for your table.
Cut tiny arms for the figure from the blue paper.
Cut out a face shape from some 'flesh' coloured paper. I left an extra piece that I olded over to facilitate gluing.
Step 5:
Glue arms to figure, and face.
Cut our head covering and fold and glue to fit around the head.
Step 6: Step 6
Glue on head covering and additional 'hat'.
Cut out tcircles for plats and decorate with leftover bits of food. I used mostly asparagus and bits of meat.
Glue the plates togetehr with a small piece of white paper in between to give them some depth. Glue onto front of figure.
Step 7: Step 7
Fold down table legs and glue to ground inside the egg.
Add plates, leftover food and cups. Try and visualise a guy's night out with several friends - a kind of going-away party - and what the aftermath is likely to look like.
Make some stools with a tube and square pieces of paper. Pain on patches of extra glue as spilled beverages.
Glue figure into egg, facing awayy from the table.
Add more debris as needed.
Step 8: Step 8
Paint the outsideof the egg with the brown acrylic paint.
I didn't like how ragged the cut around the outside was and since I didn't have any sand paper to hand, I mixed white glue and paint together and made a more robust medium for the edge of the egg which I layered on to give it a softer, rounder effect.
Step 9: Step 9
Make a cone from the brown paper.
Cut it to the appropriate height and trim to top to make a nice base for your egg.
Glue your egg onto the top.
Step 10: Step 10
Cut out a circle from the blue paper.
Trace a wiggly spiral and cut along the lines to make some mystical smoke to go around the brown base of the piece.
Step 11: Step 11
Wrap the blue spiral around the base and glue the ends into position.
Voila! Your masterpiece is complete!
Stand back and admire your genius. Invite your friends to gaze upon its beauty and marvel at your cleverness. Bask in their adoration.

Thread OP
EMAX MT1804 2480KV Thrust Tests
My other thrust tests:
Going through different motor options to test, I got my hands on the EMAX MT1804 2480KV motors to put on my static thrust jig. Tested GemFan 5030, HQ 5030, HQ 5040, and HQ 6030 in this line of tests. Without further adieu, here are the results:
GemFan 5030 Nylon prop. 345 Grams of static thrust, pulling 7 amps @ WOT.
HQ 5030 Nylon prop. 330 Grams of static thrust, pulling 6 amps @ WOT.
HQ 5040 Nylon prop. 370 Grams of static thrust, pulling 9 amps @ WOT.
HQ 6030 Nylon prop. 410 Grams of static thrust, pulling 8.5 amps @ WOT.
I found it interesting that the HQ 5030 made slightly less thrust than the GemFan 5030, small enough I call it margin of error on the jig, but does so at a full amp less. This is a nice bump in efficiency for longer flight times.
Then comes in the more aggressive props, the HQ 5040 and 6030. The thrust produced and current pulled are in line with that I figured what would happen. Interestingly though, the 6030 uses less current to make more thrust. In theory the 5040 should produce more air speed, but the 6030 will make more lift.
In short, if you're looking for a motor that isn't power hungry to power your reasonably light mini quad, less than 450 grams all up flying weight, these motors give a wide spectrum of efficiency or to be able to make a respectable amount of power. I had intended get these tests done while MultiRotorMinis still had some in stock, but they sold out to quickly for me to keep up. Glad to see the interest in these motors!
I just ordered a set of Sunny Sky X2204S 2300KV motors from BuddyRC, and trying to get my hands on a set of DYS BE1806 2300KV motors as well. Stay tuned for more testing.

Direct Lenders Like Spot Loan can offer those who find themselves in a financial pinch a way to make ends meet. The best way to utilize such loans correctly is, to arm yourself with knowledge. By applying the tips in this piece, you will know what to expect from cash advances and how to use them wisely.
Approximately $1000 inside Hours. – Direct Lenders Like Spot Loan – Paper free On the web Program. – Effortless Quickly Say yes to. – Obtain Quick cash These days.
In order to avoid excessive fees, shop around before taking out a payday loan. There may be several businesses in your area that offer payday cash advances, and some of those companies may offer better interest rates than others. By checking around, you may be able to save money when it is time to repay the loan.
Always educate yourself on the total cost, fees and hidden costs before you sign up. Lots of people are stunned when they discover how much they are charged for a payday loan. Ask lenders about their interest rates without any hesitation.
It is common for payday lenders to require that you have your own checking account. The reason for this is because the lender may require repayment through a direct debit from your account. The date is usually the date your regularly scheduled paycheck is due to be deposited.
If you take out a payday loan, make sure that you can afford to pay it back within one to two weeks. Payday cash advances should be used only in emergencies, when you truly have no other alternatives. When you take out a payday loan, and cannot pay it back right away, two things happen. First, you have to pay a fee to keep re-extending your loan until you can pay it off. Second, you keep getting charged more and more interest.
Before entering a payday loan agreement, be certain you understand all rates, fees and policies completely and have your agreement in writing. If you find a company that refuses to give you this information right away, there is a high chance that it is a scam, and you can wind up with a lot of fees and charges that you were not expecting.
Compile a list of every single debt you have when getting a payday loan. This includes your medical bills, credit card bills, mortgage payments, and more. With this list, you can determine your monthly expenses. Compare them to your monthly income. This will help you ensure that you make the best possible decision for repaying your debt.
An excellent method of decreasing your expenditures is, purchasing everything you can used. This does not just apply to cars. This also means clothes, electronics, furniture, and more. If you are not familiar with eBay, then use it. It's a great place for getting excellent deals. If you are in need of a new computer, search Google for "refurbished computers."� Many computers can be bought for cheap at a great quality. You'd be surprised at how much money you will save, which will help you pay off those cash advance loans.
Only take out a payday loan, if you have no other options. Payday loan providers generally charge borrowers extortionate interest rates, and administration fees. Therefore, you should explore other methods of acquiring quick cash before, resorting to a payday loan. You could, for example, borrow some money from friends, or family.
Always look as payday advances as your last resort and not as a first choice. These loans have enormous interest rates and you can easily wind up paying at least 25 percent of your original loan. Look at all other options before you decide to apply for a payday loan.

If you are someone who enjoys the finer things in life, Colgate's most recent announcement will have you reaching for your wallet: The toothpaste manufacturer is releasing a new signature toothpaste that has been barrel-aged for 85 years.
First put in casks during the Hoover administration, Colgate 85 promises an exclusive tooth-brushing experience with a complex and aggressive flavor profile that finishes smooth with tartar control. While younger toothpastes are very mint forward, the nearly 90 years that this signature paste has been aged in oak casks has brought vanilla and almond notes to the fore, with a pungent nose of hibiscus and mouthwash.
"When our founder, William Colgate, first started putting toothpaste into oak barrels in 1806, he sought to create an experience for the discerning man and woman who wants something more from brushing, and Colgate 85 continues that tradition," Colgate said in a press release accompanying the announcement. "As this aged paste is cask strength, we remind our customers that it has more than three times the fluoride in regular toothpaste, so a little goes a long way."
Colgate also recommends that connoisseurs and collectors enjoy Colgate 85 twice a day to fight against gingivitis.
If you want to get your hands on the special black tube of this vintage toothpaste that comes in a limited-edition velvet pouch, you better hurry—Colgate has already received enough pre-orders to account for half of its stock. And when it's gone, it's gone.

Hi! Alanna here. I'd like to welcome you to the Empty Nester Blog. I started this website a few years ago when I saw that there was a real need for legitimate ways to make money online. It was born from making my own mistakes. Making money online can be a complicated journey but a journey I hope you will enjoy by reading the many different articles I have created here. Now I'm an empty nester I have a lot more time on my hands to generate online income.
Why Making Your Own Money Can Be An Attractive Option
Your reasons for choosing to make your own money from home can be born from many different situations. This blog is unique in the fact that I am a woman in my 50's with an empty nest. Compound that with being an American living in a foreign country–Ireland–and you can see why making your own money can be an attractive option. I don't regret any of the choices I made when it comes to leaving my job and raising my daughter. There can be no greater gift than to spend as much time as possible with your kids while they grow up. I know it's not always possible for parents which is why I call it a gift.
When you are up into your 50's it gets a lot harder to find decent paying full-time work. It's even hard for young people these days. Sure, there are probably plenty of jobs out there but they don't pay well and you may end up killing yourself working more than one job to make ends meet. My goal is to help you create a decent, work from home, online business for yourself. You'll find product reviews, information on how to create an online business, tips and tricks, tools of the affiliate marketing trade and more.
How I Got Started
I started my journey into online marketing many years ago; I want to say it was probably around 2006 or so. There have been many changes since then and it would seem that affiliate marketing and making money online is a living breathing thing because of all the changes. When I first started out, I was writing HubPages and Squidoo articles and made nothing. Then I found Wealthy Affiliate (WA) among other programs that would teach you how to create your own online business with affiliate marketing. I really wasn't looking to learn affiliate marketing at the time. I wanted to learn how build websites with WordPress. Affiliate marketing allowed me to prove that having a website and monetizing it could actually work!
At that time, I didn't have a clue what affiliate marketing was but the beauty of being a member of WA is that you are taught the tools to create any kind of affiliate marketing business you want. Wealthy Affiliate has changed dramatically over the 10+ years it's been in existence. I've been a steady member for many years now and I have learned so much about creating your own business! I've had successes and failures, but to me, they are all successes because I learned so much from my mistakes.
I hope you will stick around and join me. You can find me helping people hanging out in live chat sometimes. I also help people by answering questions, writing blog posts and adding training. Every Friday I like to hang out with Jay for his live webinar training. The live training is an amazing opportunity to watch an expert walk you through the many different aspects of running an online business. At the end of each live webinar, there's always a Q&A session so if you are confused about anything, your questions will be answered.
Don't Be Afraid of a Little Hard Work
Should you join me, you'll learn a lot and work hard. But you won't be alone. There will be plenty of help from the WA community. Anytime you feel stuck, jump into live chat and talk about it. There's always someone there to help. That's what is so cool about WA and the reason I'm still there. In one word: support. I've never found any other program with support like this. And don't be afraid to contact me!
If you'd like to get started building your online business, click on the link below and get started. I'm really looking forward to working with you! I'll see you on the inside!

Index of Dicsrimination
The term discrimination is widely used in European and Slovak public discourse mainly in connection with access of the segregated communities to the labor marker, quality housing, health care and education. The relevant data which could describe, explain this status and draft solutions for the practice in public policies are absent. Relatively new terminology is the term antigypsyism, which introduces the specific hate based on the racial differences towards citizens with the Roma nationality. Project not only reacts on above mentioned issues, but also with its output "Index of Discrimination" (of Romas) which contributes to the solutions of the practical limits & barriers , which stops the inclusion of Roma communities in the public policies. Our aim is to create a tool, which will be able to localize, identify and afterwards through recommendations eliminate or reduce the discrimination of Roma community in Slovakia. Index of discrimination will be able to localize formal and informal discrimination and also the reasons, which lead to it (institutional & individual), together with classic social stereotypes on both sides- on the side of minority, but also on majority.

Directed by: Maxime Giroux
Written by: Simon Beaulieu, Maxime Giroux, Alexandre Laferrière
Produced by: Sylvain Corbeil, Nancy Grant, Eric Connelly, Danelle Eliav, Maxime Giroux, Neva McIntosh
Other cast: Martin Dubreuil, Sarah Gadon, Romain Duris
Running time: 1 hour 34 minutes
Le grande noirceur, a sinister, absurdist allegory about our turbulent times, is a radical departure from Giroux's recent pieces and closer in look and tone to his more stylized short work. The film follows Philippe (Martin Dubreuil), a would-be Québécois actor stuck in an unnamed southwestern American state and forced to deal with crushing poverty, a collapsing moral order, and persecution, all sparked by an ongoing, vaguely outlined war and the odious ethics of an unseen leader, whose rants over the radio tout success at all costs. Yet all around him, Philippe only sees abject squalor and a fearsome propaganda machine recalling 1930s-era Germany. Even those he encounters who are doing comparatively well derive pleasure only from others' pain, underscoring the depraved moral and economic conditions that contribute to and create fascism. An aloof, proud woman (Sarah Gadon) who lives in a cave/abandoned basement introduces another girl as her dog; a nasty ringmaster tortures the weak to force them to become informants. Already an outsider because of his accent, Philippe jumps from the frying pan into the fire. Fearless, striking, and disturbing, Le grande noirceur is comprised largely of tableau-type scenes laden with ominous mystery. It's also timely, conjuring the current crisis at the US border.

Did you know that more than 300 million people around the world are living without shoes? We are fortunate in this nation to have as much as we do. Of course, I say this fully understanding that in our wealthy country, millions will sleep tonight hungry. We certainly have to do better as a nation. But, beyond our borders, there is also great poverty. And, because of it, being barefoot is not a choice to hundreds of millions.
Add to that the reality that in our country and around the world, people have so many needs. And, also, that our planet is in great need of saving. The ongoing reality is that there's so much that we have to do.
Being Barefoot After the 2004 Tsunami
Over the recent holiday season, I remembered how I got from the day, December 26, 2004, to here. I got reminded of it all having gotten my license plates this past holiday that read "SHOEMAN." I've been in the shoe industry for decades. But, it was the 2004 earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific countries that changed my life. I saw the horror of what happened to people after the tsunami. As a guy in the shoe business, I realized what being barefoot meant to the millions of survivors.
Living without shoes means risking disease. It's something that should only happen if someone makes a choice. However, after the tsunami and through subsequent natural disasters, humans continue to find themselves in great need of the simplest things. Poverty is also a reality that harms people and has 300 million people around living without shoes.
An Idea Becomes a Reality
After the tsunami, I started a nonprofit and then a social enterprise, Funds2Orgs. That organization has grown to the largest for-profit company. Funds2Orgs was my destiny after seeing the devastation of people living without shoes through disasters and because of poverty. It was in visits to developing nations that I witnessed many people without the funds to buy a cheap pair of shoes. I decided I couldn't live with myself if I didn't figure out how to create a win/win situation.
Because of the work of my team and I, we witness incredible things every day. Through Funds2Orgs and our other shoe drive fundraising brands, we have met incredible partners in the U.S. They have wanted to raise money with shoe drive fundraisers. And, we've wanted to collect their shoes so we can develop opportunities for people living without shoes and micro-entrepreneurs.
Overcoming Living Without Shoes
I'll share with you a bit of what I've seen when being barefoot is not a choice. One of the most memorable experiences of my life was placing the first pair of shoes on the feet of an older man. He never owned a single pair of shoes in all of his years. He was simply too impoverished. Yet, I will always remember the smile on his face and the pride he felt when I correctly fitted him with a pair of shoes.
If you follow my writings, then you know that social good is a passion of mine. You may also know that one of the stories I often tell is of Silvia. I met her after the 2010 Haitian earthquake. She was a single mom with a young son. It was through sheer force of will that she pulled through that experience—after losing all their material possessions. Being barefoot was the least of it because they lost so much. Still, in the years since, she has a thriving business selling shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers. I'm happy to report her son went to college.
Finding Hope in the Work
I enjoy working in the social good sector. And because of it, I've had many immense honors. However, the highest honor I have every day is doing what I do. It's having the chance to meet incredible nonprofit, church, and school leaders seeking a creative fundraiser. I also have the honor of working with an incredible global team of people. And, most importantly, I continue to have the chance to create opportunities for people to help themselves out of poverty by selling shoes. As a result of our work, my hope is fewer people are living without shoes.
Finally, as the world focuses on climate change and going green, I'm happy to have the chance to keep shoes out of the trash. My life took a different path after the 2004 tsunami. It wasn't what I would have expected. But, I found my passion. And, at the start of 2020, I hope you, too, continue or find the path in your life. Maybe, like me, it could be helping those living without shoes and creating opportunities for them.

Last month Brandon and I went on a date to a basketball game and his mom watched Tyler and Kallie for us. We meant to bring our pack n play to her house so there would be two pack n plays for when she put them down. We forgot ours. So we told her just to put them in the same one and hopefully it would be okay. I had made them sleep in the same crib back in November when I was babysitting my nephew and needed a crib for him, so I knew it was possible.
Well, when we came home she told us they went down really well and I went to go find them and this is what I found. Tyler totally has his arm around Kallie. Cutest thing ever!!! We pretty much died from how cute this was and Brandon decided they needed to sleep together from then on.
This was the picture of them sleeping together when I babysat my nephew.
Anyway, from that night on, they have slept together in Tyler's crib almost every day. It doesn't seem to work as well for naps so I usually put them in their own cribs at naptime but at bedtime they almost always sleep together. I have some other friends with twins who kept them in the same crib a lot longer than I did (we separated Tyler and Kallie at about 4 months I think) and I always wondered how that would work, but now I know, it's totally possible! They just find room in there somehow.
So now I am kind of obsessed and every time I go to check on them I can't help but take a picture. It's so fun to see their different sleeping positions.

Manufacturing wars China vs USA
Can the US, in fact, be the new rising star in manufacturing?
"We are hands down more competitive than Europeans both because of energy costs and because of lower labour costs," says Kati Suominen, professor of global economics and management at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. Indeed, according to a 2014 study by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), manufacturing costs in the EU have risen by up to 10% relative to the US over the last decade.
"We should, if projections of the direction of Chinese labour costs are right, be more competitive than China right about now—even if we, too, will have some wage inflation coming as slack in the economy decreases," says Ms Suominen. In fact, and according to the same BCG study, China's advantage over the US in manufacturing costs has gone from 15% in 2004 to less than 5% in a decade.
Ms Suominen cautions that labour costs may, in the near future, become less of an issue than the availability of technologies such as 3D printing and factory automation as cost drivers for manufacturing. Even so, she says, "What I'd conclude at this point is that, yes, the United States is well-placed to be the global leader in manufacturing."
Not so fast, says Willy Shih, professor of management practice at the Harvard School of Business. Although he agrees that labour costs are currently relatively low in the US and that lower energy costs do give the country competitive advantages—notably in petrochemicals and other products that depend on oil and gas feedstocks—he cautions that manufacturers that left the US for cheaper shores may not be so easy to get back.
One problem, he notes, is that the US "industrial commons" has atrophied—the supplier base, workforce skills and other elements needed to support a resurgence in manufacturing may not be up to the job.
Mr Shih also believes that the US manufacturing boom is nuanced, with some sectors ripe for reshoring and others that most likely will never come back. Smaller items, such as consumer electronics, will probably continue to be manufactured in Asia, he maintains. "China has captured the electronics supply chain, so it just doesn't make that much sense to bring stuff back. The cost to pack all the components and ship them to the US for assembly is more than if you just assemble the thing over in Asia."
That's a problem, says Mr Shih, that doesn't apply so much to larger items, including the products made at Appliance Park. With a greater volume and, hence, a relatively lower value density than for an item such as a mobile phone, it makes more sense to bring the manufacture of, for example, a refrigerator or a car back to the US. "Honda this year is going to export more cars that are made in the US than it will import to the US from Japan," says Mr Shih. In other words, large manufacturing such as autos, airplanes or appliances should continue to do well in the US.
As for an atrophied manufacturing infrastructure, that's a challenge that Appliance Park, for one, doesn't seem to have. GE invested $800m in upgrading the facility between 2009 and 2012 and announced its intention to invest another $277m in the near term even as it finalised the deal with Electrolux.
Since the deal for Electrolux to acquire GE Appliances won't be concluded until mid-2015 at the earliest, it's too soon to tell what the future holds for Appliance Park. But as the European appliance maker completes its largest acquisition, it seems to be betting big that manufacturing in the US will continue to remain competitive.

Splashdown (Xbox) review
"Splashdown, a game developed by Rainbow Studios released in the United States in mid-2002 portrays the sport of Jet Skiing in a race-style atmosphere.

A most needed victory for Panther boys' hoop
A rare Monday night game against the Wright County Conference West co-leaders proved to be just what the Glencoe-Silver Lake boys' basketball team needed to cure what was ailing them.
The Panthers, who entered the evening on a four-game losing streak and had lost their past two contests against New London-Spicer and Dassel-Cokato by double digits, overcame a 15-point first half deficit to defeat Rockford 79-78 and improve to 6-15 on the season.
"It feels great," guard Teddy Petersen said. "The last few weeks have been really tough on us. We've had a lot of downs and it's just nice to get an up here. Maybe it'll get us rolling a bit."
Petersen led the Panthers with 25 points in the game, sinking five three-pointers and drawing comparisons to Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry from his coach, Robb DeCorsey.
"Teddy was fantastic tonight," DeCorsey said. "But overall, you have to hand it to our kids – they really stepped up in the second half. They needed to close out and win a game like this."
As triumphant as the contest finished, it sure didn't start that way.

Buccia Vineyard
K.L. Sullivan
Summary: Buccia is a winery and bed & breakfast. The tasting room is laid back and has a relaxing atmosphere. Several tables were available inside and outside under grape arbors for enjoying a glass of wine. The tasting room is adjacent to the Bed and Breakfast, which has four rooms for lodging.
Buccia started as a result of Fred Bucci's frustration of traveling back and forth to Cleveland for work during snowstorms. It did not take long for him to desire another lifestyle. Having successfully produced wine as a home winemaker, Fred planted the current vineyard in 1975. The vineyard consists of 4½ acres and the winery produces 4000 gallons, (about 1700 cases). The vineyard grapes include Baco Noir, Seyval, Vignoles and Steuben as well as smaller quantities of other grape varieties. Eleven years after beginning the winery in 1975, the Buccias added the bed and breakfast. The result today is Buccia's Vineyard and Bed & Breakfast with four available rooms.
Outside of the dual-purpose facility, grape arbors are covered with Concord grape vines. Even on an early November day, grapes still clung to the vines. Seating is available for enjoying a glass of wine in a nice setting especially for an Indian summer day.
Fred delights in growing and producing unusual wines along with the traditional wines. The first wine he mentioned was Agawam. This was a hybrid developed in Massachusetts in the 1800's. Fred discussed other unusual grapes he has discovered in his travels around the world.
The tasting counter is small however there is plenty of seating at the tables. Visitors are instructed to buzz the intercom buttom if no one is in the tasting room. We did this and Fred quickly came from the winery. Rather than standing at the tasting counter to taste wines Fred brought bottles of wine to a table.
White Wines
Vignoles was a light yellow color with a fruity aroma. The taste offered pineapple and the aftertaste went from pineapple to grapefruit. Riesling had both fruit and floral aromas with a peach taste. It was crisp and fruity. The Reflections of Lake Erie produced at Buccia, is a blend of 25 percent Riesling, Seyval, Vignoles and Cayuga. The result is a wine with a golden yellow color. The taste was fruity and the finish was crisp and drying. Reflections of Lake Erie had an alcohol level of 11 percent.
Red Wines
Agawam was a light golden color with a reddish tinge. With a residual sugar of 2.5, it offered a floral and fruity aroma with a fruity taste. The finish was crisp and fruity. Baco had a black cherry aroma with a fruity, black cherry taste. The wine had a crisp finish.
Bed & Breakfast
The four rooms available for rental are spacious and include unusual features. Each room has a six-person hot tub, patio and grape arbor as well as the usual amenities guests expect today. The four rooms are unique. The honeymoon suite has a den with a fireplace with the bedroom and bath located on the second floor.
If you want to get away from traffic, heavy congestion and city life for a few days, consider a visit to Buccia. Here you will find a reasonably priced bed and breakfast with an adjacent winery tasting room. If you have an opportunity to talk with Fred, be sure to ask him about some of the unusual grapes he has discovered.

Zach Kilian (@zachkilian) a senior stylist at Hairroin Salon, Los Angeles, was up for a challenge. "My client came in with an inch of new growth and faded previously level 4 violet midstrands with bleached ends that had been purple," says Killian. "She had done a clarifying treatment a week before coming in for her color service."
Here he shares the details for the transformation:
STEP 1: Apply Wella Blondor and 20 volume to the previously colored midstrands. Isolate in foils. Once target color is close, rinse and apply more Blondor and 20 volume from roots through the midstrands. Process to the desired level. Rinse and shampoo.
STEP 2: Then apply Wella Color Touch 7/43 and 6 volume on the now lightened new growth. Apply Color Touch 8/43 through the midstrands. ("I added 9/3 to the 8/43 to put a bit more gold into the midstrands because there was more red in them from the bleaching.") Process for 10 minutes, then pull color through the ends in the last minute to give a touch of depth. ("This gave her a nice even copper base.")
STEP 3: Then apply equal parts Joico Orange and Joico Yellow to get the poppy orange result. Process under heat for 20 minutes and cool for 10.

text: Law at the HSG HSG, one of Europe's leading business universities, offers a number of attractive legal degrees. Informal atmosphere Over the past years, the HSG has had an average of 540 law students. Thus, the Law School of the HSG is one of Switzerland's smaller law faculties. It exhibits an especially favourable coaching ratio (number of students per professor) and offers a homely atmosphere. The day-to-day life at our Law School is marked by close contact between lecturers and students, which promote the success of the studies. Business-oriented All legal course programmes at the HSG are characterised by broad content and business orientation. The foundation for a clear understanding of how enterprises and national economies work is laid out right from the first year of studies in St.Gallen. This type of understanding is necessary to appreciate many areas of law, such as corporate law, capital market law or certain areas of contract and administrative law. Employers appreciate the ability of the graduates from St.Gallen to look at law from a broader perspective. In practice, this ability is often the key to success when it comes to the elaboration of practical solutions as a lawyer, judge or specialist in administrative law. Interdisciplinary In addition to legal skills, HSG jurists gain insight into other relevant subject areas. Foreign languages and the fundamentals of business administration and economics are part of the course syllabus. Furthermore, the contextual studies enable the students to acquire key competencies that are important for a career (rhetoric, presentation technique, etc.) or to pursue other interests, e.g. in the field of psychology, history, philosophy or sociology. These interests can be enlarged upon at the Master's and Ph.D. levels. Freedom of choice after the Assessment Year At the HSG, all students (economics, business, international affairs and law) complete their first year (so-called Assessment Year) together. In this way, they acquire a broad basis of general knowledge. From the second year of their studies, they concentrate on their selected course of studies. This also means that the students have already studied for two semesters before they decide whether they would like to study Law, Business Administration, Economics or International Affairs. Students who decide to study Law can then additionally choose between the two Bachelor's programmes "Law" (BLaw) and "Law and Economics" (BLE). At the Master's level, there are three Master's programmes to choose from: the two German Master's programmes "Law" (MLaw) and "Law and Economics" (MLE) and the English programme "International Law" (MIL). Career perspectives HSG graduates with a degree in law are greatly appreciated for their broad and sound knowledge, their openness to new developments, their attitude to work and their social competencies. Not surprisingly, then, law firms, courts, administrations as well as international organisations and legal departments of companies actively establish and maintain regular contact with the HSG and its law students. Experienced practitioners regularly participate in teaching units, offer interesting glances into the prospective professional world and help to establish networks. For HSG graduates who would like to enter the field of public law, the proximity to Switzerland's largest court, the Federal Administrative Court in St.Gallen, offers interesting opportunities.

Our Little House
I often dream of having one more living room or even another bedroom. Molly at the moment sleeps in our walk-in closet but will one day have to share a room with her 8 years older sister. Our little house also doesn't have a garage or much of a yard. One of the many drawbacks to having a small house with no garage is that the master bedroom ends up being the catch all. It is where the computer, the t.v. and all the "stuff" tends to reside.
We decided the computer and t.v were going to be in the bedroom to make them less accessible to our children. Out of sight and out of mind. I actually don't mind having the t.v. in the bedroom. It is rather nice to be able to lay in bed and watch a good movie. On the other hand, when the kids want to watch a movie I have them all sitting on and in my bed. I can't tell you how many times I have found popcorn in my bed when I am trying to sleep.
Today after months and months of telling myself to clean and my husband saying we needed to organize or get rid of a lot this of junk, we decided to finally get to our bedroom/t.v/computer/stuff room. Rather then just tidying up like we usually do, I decided to rearrange everything. All the "stuff" got shifted and the furniture moved. It felt nice to sweep up that much dust and fluff. The garbage can is filled and there are a number of books that are going to be given to the Friends of the LIbrary booksale and even a bag of items that are going to the Goodwill. And the rearrangement is such a better use of space. The room suddenly feels more spacious. This is quite an achievement considering what needs a home in this room. My kids are even trying to convince us that there is now enough space for a Wii.
As much as I complain about the tight quarters that the 6 of us live in, I am actually very happy to live in our little house. We feel pretty lucky to able to live as comfortably as we do, in the area of the world in which we live, and on one income. This little house keeps us from gathering too much "stuff" or getting too "Heavy" as my husband puts it. Many purchases have been averted, since I always have to consider the space it is going to need or take in the house. It helps me keep things simple.
As much as it would be nice to have a dining room, a play room, a theater room, a nicely planned out school room, a bedroom for each child, and a really nice big pantry for our food storage (so I wouldn't have to store it under the kids' beds), I don't think it would make our lives any better. We have it really good! Right now we even have it a little less dusty and a little more organized. It is feeling wonderful!
I hope it stays this way for a little while!
That was a lot of work.

Congratulations on living the 'simple life.' I need to get rid of more things, too. I love that picture of Alice in Wonderland and the outgrown house.

We lived in an 800 sq foot house with four kids. My three oldest who can remember talk about it with fond memories. When we finally moved into a 'HUGE' house (with our six child) my older ones were excited but also wary "It's just that much more we're going to have to clean!" So true. Give me the simple life any day!

I hear ya sister!! What a great post! We've got a computer and desk in our room too- along with the baby. The two oldest share a room and listen to audio books together at night.
We saved so much money this year on Christmas presents for the kids because we just don't have any space for more toys!
I do look forward to having our own place soon. It will be nice to hang our own pictures and eat on our own dishes.

I love it! Reading the Little House books always reminds me how little we need and makes me question how much stuff I have. Very inspiring post!

For Steve Smith and David Warner the wait is nearly over.
After a year of soul-searching, knuckling down in the nets, avoiding paparazzi and plying their trade in far-flung Twenty20 leagues, the batsmen are about to be let back into the fold.
From Friday, Australias former captain and vice-captain will be eligible to play for their country once more as their 12-month bans for ball-tampering expire.
The sandpaper scandal that rocked not just Australian cricket but the entire sport may have long since passed but the return of its two instigators sees a new phase of the saga begin.
Without them Australia have been forced to patch themselves up, adapt and move on. With the World Cup just two months away and the Ashes looming at the end of the summer, how will they reintegrate their star batsmen?
Ex-Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne, who himself sat out a year after failing a drugs test in 2003, believes both Smith and Warner will come straight back into the team.
"I think theyll be desperate to show how good they are, how much theyve missed the game, how determined they are and how hungry they are to make runs," he told City A.M.
"I think theyll be welcomed with open arms back into the side because theyre class acts. Steve Smith is not a bad person. Theyre not Pablo Escobar. They just made a mistake. I think theyll come back in and enjoy playing in a team environment."
David Warner looked in good form, scoring 85 for Sunrisers Hyderabad today (Source: Getty)
Warnes prediction seems to be spot on. Smith and Warner were invited to join the Australian squad in the United Arab Emirates ahead of a one-day international series against Pakistan to assimilate with their team-mates and received a warm welcome.
"Its like we didnt really leave," was how Warner summed it up. "[There were] a lot of big hugs and cuddles."
"Its like two brothers coming home," was head coach Justin Langers description.
Despite the image of happy families being portrayed to the media, its unlikely to be a straightforward process for Langer. A year is a long time and Australia have moved on in their absence.
After chastening losses there are now finally signs of green shoots Down Under. A 3-1 Test series defeat by South Africa, a 5-0 ODI thrashing by England, Test and T20 reverses against Pakistan and a historic home Test defeat by India have been followed by more positive results.

How wanky is your coffee?
Australian comedian Kitty Flanagan is sick of those people who order a soy-flat-white-with-a-dash-of-chocolate.
In a piece for The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Kitty decided to quit the bitching and do something constructive about her disdain for wanky coffees.
And what she says may just turn you off ordering ridiculous coffees for life…
What's your favourite coffee?

It will include high-containment certified PC2 and PC3 laboratories for virology, bacteriology, microbiology and molecular biology; refurbishment of existing animal and plant health laboratories, and an upgrade of electrical and safety systems.
Cockram Construction was engaged in an early tender involvement (ETI) process with NSW Public Works which essentially required us to provide feedback on documentation and potential design issues/risks. At this time we identified one of the key issues for the client was the programme and at tender time proposed a temporary PC2 certified laboratory structure to house researchers between moves so as not to disrupt their research. This in turn also cut 12 months off the practical completion date.
Melbourne Centre for NanofabricationAustralia
As the main facility of the Victorian Node of the Australian National Fabrication facility, this project links seven university-based nodes to provide researchers and industry access to state of the art fabrication facilities. Based at Monash University Science Research Park, the 3,800m2 building is made up of three main functional pavilions. The research pavilion is one level plus a dedicated mezzanine plant room with trafficable ceiling. The pavilion contains Class 10,000 clean rooms, Class 100 clean rooms, PC2 laboratory, general labs and associated offices and amenities. Cockram was subsequently awarded the Class 100 clean room fitout and we worked closely with the client to ensure minimal disruption to the operation of the newly completed facility. The Class 100 area is of the highest standard of clean room construction.

"Google Succeeded Because" Part I: UXPosted: July 22, 2005 in Uncategorized
Ads may have been secondary in position on the page, but now many users look there first. The uniformity and cleanliness of the ad column is often more appealing to the eye than the left column, which for some results is becoming quite busy (top ads, new icons for books/news, photos at times, indented results, various lengths of page titles and descriptions…). Pay attention, and don\'t "improve" the UX incrementally bit, by bit, by bit, convinced that each addition is useful, when overall it may just further distract.
Willie, can\'t agree with you more!Last year I took an interesting audience poll at Gnomedex, a great tech/blogging conference.With about 500 tech-heads in the audience, I asked the question: "When you look at a Google page, how many look on the left first (natural listings)? How many look on the right first (ads)?"I asked this because over the last year, I\'ve found myself looking on the right first… and many times exclusively on the right.Can\'t get much better than that if you\'re trying to create a helpful ad mechanism.I figured a good portion of the audience — maybe 10-20% — were doing the same as me.The answer blew me away, though.75% of the audience — folks I would consider hypersensitive to advertising — looked on the right first… at the ads.Wow. Kudos to Google for building a killer ad mechanism.

I often wonder if I am doing the right thing as a parent.
Daily I think to myself "did I do the right thing?" in regards to giving my daughters advice.
Gigi often comes home with stories of mean girls and bossy boys that she has encountered during her school day. I try to give her advice along the lines of "remember who you are, what you stand for, and don't bend down to the mean kids."
I want to raise strong, independent, mindful, helpful, loving, funny daughters.
Our oldest daughter, Zoe, is all of those things that I just wrote about.
She has overcome a lot and she, I believe, has a strong sense of who she is as a teenager.
She doesn't bother with girl drama at school, she offers advice to her friends who get involved in such drama. She's the unofficial leader of her little troupe of friends. I have heard them say as such when they are all together and I'm in earshot. She has a tight group of both male and female friends. She's not really (I think) interested in boys as boyfriends yet. She knows that she doesn't need to jump into the area of teen love yet.
But, her confidence is lagging at times. It really does baffle Man-Farmer and I when she comes home from school and tells us "Ms. H asked me if I wanted to be captain at the JV scholastic bowl game and I said no."
We were with her at the last home girls volleyball game and she was doing double duty as a photographer for the yearbook and as a member of the pep band that was going to perform between the 7th and 8th grade games.
Man-Farmer and I had dropped her and her little sister off at the front door of the middle school and told them we would meet them inside after we parked the car.
When we got in we found them sitting in the middle of the stands and Zoe was starting to take some photos of the volleyball team warming up. I told her that she would get some better shots if she got closer.
"I'm fine right here."
Man-Farmer and I just looked at one another and simultaneously sighed.
I pushed her..."get down to the first row and get some closer shots."
She did.
And then she climbed back up to where we were sitting in the middle of the bleachers.
"Why don't you go sit on the other side in the player seats for a few seconds to get some pictures of the girls on that side of the court."
"No, I'm fine right here" she said again.
But, I made her go…"go over there now, you are here to get good pictures."
She reluctantly got up and walked over to the other side of the gymnasium.
She uses a DSL camera that used to be my camera of choice and when she's wearing it around her neck, she looks like a real-deal yearbook photographer.
The coach of the girls volleyball team is a teacher that has a special connection with Zoe. This teacher adores our daughter and I knew she would have zero problem with Zoe sitting over there while the team girls were practicing their lobbing and spikes.
She finally sidled her way into a chair and one of her classmates, who is on the team, said something to her. Something along the lines of "you taking pictures for yearbook?"
I saw Zoe smile and nod and get back to taking pictures.
She got some nice photos from that side of the gym.
And when she came back she was more talkative with me and said "will you take a few more pictures once the game begins because I have to go to the band room now."
I did just that. And even took some photos of the pep band, with some close-ups of the girls in the percussion area because Zoe plays a mean bass drum.
I said to a few moms that were sitting around us in the bleachers, "I've gotta go take some pictures for the yearbook!" and we all had a good giggle about it.
We try to push Zoe out of her comfort zone when she's feeling scared. When she's feeling unsure. Because we know that there's nothing to be afraid of. We know that the benefit outweighs her fear.
We have talked to her about the honor her scholastic bowl coach was giving to her when she asked her to be captain. We told her to always say YES when situations like that come up. To take on the challenge. To face her fears. To not get pushed into the backseat, but to instead take the wheel and drive forward.
We have been doing this with her since we became childhood cancer advocates. She has met Illinois State Legislators. A Governor of Illinois. She has been on television and has been interviewed countless times by newspaper reporters about childhood cancer and also about being at summer camp (she and her sister go to a kids cancer summer camp every year for a week at the end of June and every year a reporter from some newspaper in Central Illinois interviews her or takes her picture). She's used to having attention on her.
She gets many awards at school and often has her name announced at events for her academic accolades.
Maybe it gets to be too much?
She seems confidant when performing a piano solo or tapping with her small tap dancing group at the yearly dance recital.
But, sometimes she holds back.
And we urge her forward.
And then my heart questions if I am doing the right thing.
At times we all need that extra little push to do something that makes us nervous, right?
We need to step out of the comfort we find on the edge of the scene we are looking at.
I understand that my daughters are not me.
I can be loud and bold and unflinching in my actions.
But, it has taken me 47 years to get here. My girls are just getting started in this game of life.
Just jumping into the fray, ready for battle.
I feel that we are more powerful as women if we fight the inner voices that tell us that we aren't good enough, that we should stand back and let someone else take the reins.
I want my daughters to feel powerful. To feel that they are capable of anything set in front of them. And that if it doesn't go as planned for them, that that's okay.
At least they tried.
And Dad and I, we will always be their loudest cheerleaders.

Morning all! Prov 31.8 says "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed."
The busy-ness of life often makes us more self-centred than we'd like to admit. We can spend so much time thinking about ourselves, our wants, needs and dreams that we forget that the world doesn't revolve solely around us and our convenience. God has given each of us a circle of influence and expects us to be aware of other people's needs. So often we think we need to wait for a golden opportunity, a microphone and a main stage to make a difference when the truth is that God can work through us in our everyday. Choosing to be a friend to someone everyone else has shunned or defending that person who has seemingly brought drama on themselves, can be enough to ensure justice and brighten someone's day. Helping those we can help and caring for those we can care for may not seem like game changing actions but, if someone's feeling emotionally vulnerable, it might be the boost they need. The reality is we don't know the battles people face in their minds, lives or otherwise so let's commit to being God's hands here on earth showing kindness and compassion in any way we can. God will give us grace.
Happy Wednesday!
