True Confessions
Okay, so I'm going to confess my downfall right here on the blogosphere (Or is it technically in the blogosphere?)! Anyway, I'm quite embarrassed to admit this. Today I gave into a ridiculous temptation! I obviously was not practicing my Proverbs 31 womanhood...as "She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness." Well, first I was eating the bread of idleness. Yes, even with laundry and dishes to be done and papers to be graded, I was just sitting...idle. I flipped on the TV. There was nothing on of any interest, but coming up in the next 10 minutes was one of my favorite talk shows. I went ahead and changed over to that channel. There was a soap opera on...one that I had watched in my younger days, before my walk with the Lord brought the conviction and wisdom of Paul's words, "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." Well, I saw a familiar face...a little interesting drama...and I was hooked. Not only was I idle, but I was "watching the affairs" of another household!!! (Can I just say that some of those people look the same as they did over 20 years ago...and some, well, they don't!)
After I watched that 10 minutes, I thought, "Nothing has changed. Twenty some years later I tuned in to see the same stories being played out over again." That brought a verse to mind. (Yes, God recaptured my mind...and "provided a way out" (1 Cor. 10:13) and redeemed the situation.) In Ecclesiastes 1:9, we read, "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
And here's the encouragement in that. Whatever we face...whether it is temptation or circumstances that seem to be overwhelming and spinning out of control...it has been faced before (and will be again) and we can have victory! We must remember His Word, remember His promises, remember His faithfulness. "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." Romans 15:4 (NIV) Oh, that we just turn to His Word and realize the hope! Deuteronomy 7:9 (NIV) says, "Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep His commands." The heights and depths of His love are far greater than we can imagine. He is our God, and we are His children. "God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." 1 Cor. 1:9 (NIV) He will carry us through, and we "can do everything through Him who gives [us] strength." Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
Abba, Father, Help us to remember the hope that is in You. Help us to remember Your covenant of love to us. Help us to remember Your faithfulness...that reaches over thousands of generations. Lord, You are good and Your mercies endure forever!

I struggle with idleness...as if I deserve to sit and watch tv after a long day at work; like I've earned it. And then, the next day, I wonder why I let so many opportunities pass me by.
I need to be intentional about keeping my focus on things of eternal value not temporary relief.
Thanks for the great message.

Oh, Kristi Love, if being on the Internet is idleness, I plead guilty, guilty, guilty!! Sigh
As always, you've given me something to think about.
Love you!!!!!

Good word; you are right, it's the same ole, same ole on daytime T.V. I struggled with watching soaps for years, until I really realized what I was bringing into my home. Horrible. Thanks for the reminder.

Upcoming Event: Redressing Settler Cultural Policy in the Era of Reconciliation/
The BC Alliance for Arts + Culture is proud to co-present an upcoming event, Redressing Settler Cultural Policy in the Era of Reconciliation. This presentation by Irwin Oostindie takes place Thursday, October 26, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at SFU's Djavad Mowafaghian World Art Centre in Vancouver.
Irwin Oostindie suggests that "this place shall be merely the forever colonial wild west" unless cultural policy makes a shift. Genuine reconciliation and redress requires the policy changes to be made throughout culture sectors and include community, and cultural policy makers.
This free talk looks to help decolonize settler and migrant cultural policy and show a path forward. By inventorying and including reconciliation and redress mandates in our individual and organizational practices, we will move beyond tokenism and brief marquee appearances. Reconciliation shouldn't be a funding opportunity — it should be genuine and society-wide.
For more information about the event, including co-presenters, running time, and to RSVP, please click here. The free event will also be broadcast live on Facebook.

Healthy fats your skin needs to stay plump? Fish. Inflammation-fighting antioxidants? Algae. Naturally-occurring moisturizers? Seaweed. Anti-aging and bone-health fortifying collagen?

Something that I feel I could never do enough is thank all of you who read my blog for taking the time to read my posts. It really means a lot to me when people "like" and comment on my posts. I love getting feedback on the things I share.
I know I have mentioned this before, but my reason for starting this blog was to write things that I thought a few of my close friends might have an interest in reading occasionally. I wanted to give them an option for something positive to read on the internet, since so much of the media is focused on negative stories. I am genuinely excited and happy when my friends tell me they enjoy reading my posts and look forward to reading them. What I never expected, however, was for so many people around the world to also have an interest in the things I write. I have been learning over the past several months just how small this world really is. I have been finding out I have a lot in common with people throughout this beautiful world of ours. The interaction I get to have with so many amazing people on here, and the truly wonderful posts I get to read on other people's blogs give me a lot of hope for our world. We are all individuals and have a lot of differences, but what is overlooked far too often is just how much we have in common. Too many people seem to forget that we are all human beings. We may come from different places, we may speak different languages, we may have different values and beliefs, etc., but there are truly wonderful people everywhere around the world. It has been a pleasure getting to know some of those wonderful people from all parts of the world through this incredible blogging community, and I look forward to getting to know even more people.
Last night, Positively Rolling Through Life passed the 1,500 views milestone. I know that isn't very many views compared to a lot of bloggers who have been blogging for as many months as I have, but it's something that is really special to me. Considering I honestly expected about 20 people, at most, to read my posts, 1,500 views seems like a lot.
Once again, I just want to thank all of you who have joined me on this journey of Positively Rolling Through Life. I really appreciate all of you taking the time to read the posts I share. It has been a great few months, but I am just getting started. I can't wait to see how this thing continues to grow in the future, and I'm looking forward to meeting even more people in this great blogging community. Those of you that I keep in touch with regularly, I don't know if I could ever put into words how much I admire you and appreciate you. Thank you all!!

Shakeology and the "Made in a Facility with Nuts & Shellfish" Labeling
Shakeo Labeling : "Yes, all Shakeology formulas are made in a manufacturing facility that also processes known allergens such as soy, milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and wheat (gluten) ingredients. While our manufacturing procedures follows strict, required FDA Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), which include immediate cleaning and breaking down of equipment after every production batch and proper air filtration systems as precautionary measures, the possibility of cross-contamination can never be 100% eliminated, therefore we are required by the FDA, to include a warning that addresses this."
What those labels MEAN: It says "made in a facility the ALSO". Not "made using or made with". That is a big difference. From my pharmaceutical days it was explained to me like this...Many food and drug producing factories are located within one primary building. (similar to an office building or sky rise for business) Its very common to have one massive factory with hundreds of smaller productions. Because of this, the FDA requires that be said on the label. Shakeology does not contain the above ingredients at all so it doesnt even make sense that it would be on the the equipment. But in the rare case a small soy, shellfish or peanut fragment or particle "got out" and crossed over into another factory, it MUST for liability be printed on the packaging. This wording is pretty clear, but confuses alot of people that all the production is in the same room mixed in together. Not the case at all. If we were to certify Shakeology vegan (or organic for that matter) it would take certifying EACH individual superfood since they come from different parts of the world. The cost to do so (for really what extra benefit??) would escalate the cost of a monthly bag shakeology to a small mortgage. Just for a label. The entire reason we import the products from their original countries of origin is so that monsanto has no hand in manipulating quality and the soil stays nutrient rich and the products are grown organically.
Anyway- it does NOT contain shellfish or nuts etc nor is made with shellfish or nuts. But production guidelines make it such that it must be listed if produced in the same facility as the above. People are at a far greater risk of cross contamination when they eat at a restaurant or goes grocery shopping at a place that also sells seafood or nuts.

Alright – whooooaaa.
The aging is going just a little too fast for this mama. Now that Mackenzie is out of diapers, can dress and groom herself, as well as entertain herself, the time is just flying by!
I know there were more than a few days during her toddlerhood (triggered by poop or vandalism, for sure) that I couldn't wait for 6 years old. Now it's here, and I just don't know what happened to all the days in between!
I'm thrilled that she's 6. She's such a fun person to be around! She's a creative, smart, active girl who has done something to amaze us (both good and bad) every single day of her special life. We can't wait to see….strike that….we CAN WAIT and are excited to see what God has planned for her future.
A few months ago, we were walking around the only store in Manila that sells cake decorating stuff, and Mackenzie saw a castle cake that she loved. So I had Josh pick it up last week.
* When I showed Mackenzie the cake, her entire face lit up. Then I could see her comtemplating something. I asked her what she was thinking. "Well…I kind of wanted it to say 'courtney' on it."
The example page that came with the pan had "Courtney…6" on it!
What started out as a Princess/castle party ended up as Barbie/poolside party. We ran out of time to trek out to the big toy stores who carry princess decor, so we had to settle for one of the close-by malls who specialize in Spongebob, Dora, and Barbie party gear. No problem, she loves Barbie these days.
Last year, I had a bunch of games and activities planned at Mackenzie's Tinkerbell party, and it was a lot of fun but also a lot of work. This year, we decided to party at the pool. Badabing badaboom – the kids scream, laugh, and make up their own fun, and the ants and birds do most of the clean-up! Plus, us mom's relax in the sun and chat.
Here's the party crew. There were some girls from her class, some of her neighbors, and some older girls who she loves being around. Since she didn't get to include all of her classmates, we took cupcakes up during merienda at school.
Like I said, they create their own fun in a pool!
Josh did get in on the fun by making water balloons for the girls. We should have made more! They loved throwing them and watching them explode everywhere. This little girl, Olivia, is quite terrified of balloons (we think it goes back to when she was at Deacon's birthday party and a balloon popped really loudly.) But since the water balloons don't make that loud noise, she loved them!
Kenzie got all kinds of great gifts! It was a good thing that we went with the Barbie theme, because she got two different Barbie mermaids and a bunch of Barbie make-up. She was cute. She squealed with excitement at every gift.
Josh and I got her a set of dolls with magnetic dress-up clothes.
She's really into crafts these days, and she was so excited to see this adhesive mosaic craft set that we bought, courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa. She already has her afternoon planned out, starting with one of these.
Mackenzie, Abby, and their sisters are all really into My Little Pony these days, so that's what Abby and Olivia gave her. When I went to wake the girls up at 6:15 this morning, they were already up and playing with their ponies!
The last time Josh went to the U.S., he came back with this great keyboard that his mom found on a great sale! Mackenzie is so excited, but of course, we have to buy batteries for it first.
Deacon missed the party, as I don't disturb his afternoon nap for ANYTHING. When the party was over, we went back upstairs and greeted him with cake and party horns. It took him a few moments to figure them out, but when he did, he was adorable!
He would blow it hard enough to make a noise and unravel it…
He walked around the house for a good hour doing the same exact thing. Horn, laugh, horn, laugh…
OK, FINE! Here's a clip of him.
It's going to be hard for Mackenzie to do her nightly reading and homework tonight with all of her new presents just staring at her. That's right, she has homework! It's fun stuff though – word searches, activities, and thought-provoking art.
Happy Birthday Mackenzie!!! We love you so so much and are proud of our 6-year-old girl!

Mint & Lux Teething Necklaces for Moms & Littles
I started making teething necklaces because I had one too many of my favourite necklaces broken by my lovely, but strong babies. So, I started to make my own kid friendly, teething necklaces. I wanted to create necklaces that were both stylish and practical, that didn't look like I was wearing a craft project or toy around my neck. I wanted to create necklaces that blended in with my wardrobe and style.
I love creating functional and comfortable necklaces for both stylish mommas and littles.
Both of my babies were also easily distracted and busy nursers, I found wearing a teething necklace kept those busy hands, busy and helped keep them focused.

Accountancy: Days Two Hundred Fifty-Two - Two Hundred Fifty-Five/
"You are the poster child for meditation," my lunch date said to me today. "Yes, I am." I say that without sarcasm and without much modesty either. I acknowledge success. I have been meditating on an almost daily basis since February of this year. That's more than eight months ago. (I quickly did this calculation in my head; hope it's right) My success surprises me. Of all the activities and practices I've tried to master over the last fifty-five years, the ones that require steady and sustained effort on a daily basis, those are the ones that give me the most trouble. I've gotten to be pretty good at lots of things, but really, really good at almost nothing. But I've got this meditation thing down. Not to the point where I've found enlightenment, but I do sit in a chair and give it a go almost every day. I've been told by many people that this this is unusual. Most people cannot stick with it as consistently as I have.
I have a theory as to why: I'm counting and I'm accountable.
Numbers are not my thing. I transpose the entries in my check book; as soon as I'm presented with a numerical statistic, the number flies out of my head. It's inevitable that I either already have or I will mess up on the number of days I've recorded in this blog. Still, there seems to be something about the fact that I've kept track of the number of days and I've kept track in a public way that has allowed me to remain consistent in my meditation practice.
Day 255: done. I'm still counting.

Ten Years!
We met and starting dating after our friend introduced us in the hallway of our high school. It seems longer than ten years. We've changed so much since those high school days - in many ways, thank god for that and equally in many other ways, I miss our hopefulness and naivety. What's funny is for two anniversaries before this one, we took trips to Nashville for mini trips and we would talk about how it was great to visit but we could never live here. We've been reflecting a lot, especially in light of baby coming in August this year and observing every emotion that comes with that realization. In the midst of the shock, I am becoming, for the first time, so thankful for Nathan and that he is the one I get to have a baby with. There is a new level of appreciation and immense humility in me; for him, family, and life in general. I'm already softening and it feels like I am about to (to my surprise) step into the best place I've ever been in life.

I am so happy with how the built-ins turned out especially after toying with how to set this built-in up for a long time. The reason I couldn't do a second tower to make it symmetrical is because to the right there is the door to the bathroom and a second tower would block access to that door.
Here is the little sketch of the built-in plan, things change during the building process as per usual when it come to me.
Here is how things began , plain roman shades and a nice but not properly sized dresser for this room.

The Bank of England has hiked its interest rates from 0.5% to 0.75%, only the second rise since 2009.
Members of the nine-strong Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) voted 9-0 in favour of the move.
"It feels like there is an element of the Bank of England reloading the interest rate gun in case we need an emergency Brexit related cut next year," AJ Bell chief investment officer Kevin Doran said.
"The UK economy is hardly charging ahead but, with interest rates at historic lows, Mark Carney and Co know that they have little room for manoeuvre should there be a stumble as we head towards the 29 March Brexit deadline next year. Today's 0.25% increase at least reloads one bullet.
"Whilst the increase is an improvement for savers, with inflation still being fuelled by a rising oil price and weak sterling it is little help for the vast swathes people whose purchasing power has been eroded by inflation comfortably outstripping the meagre interest earned on their savings. Let's hope banks are quick to pass on the increase to at least provide some help to savers although unfortunately this often doesn't materialise.
"It will also not be welcomed by the vast numbers of UK borrowers, many of whom will only ever have known rock bottom interest rates and hence might be vulnerable to increases. From an investment perspective a base rate of 0.75% is still exceptionally accommodative and is likely to continue to stoke asset prices as investors look for a real rate of return above inflation, something that is scarce in cash or government bonds."
Commenting on how it will affect the mortgage market, Vida Homeloans sales and marketing director Guy Batchelor added: "More than a third of homeowners are still on a standard variable rate mortgage (SVR) according to research by L&C Mortgages and borrowers on this type of mortgage have been enjoying a low interest environment for nearly a decade, so this interest rate rise represents a significant change in landscape. This rate rise will not cause a drastic increase in monthly repayments but could be a signal of things to come so we may see some buy to let properties coming back onto the market which would be good news for first-time buyers.
"Those borrowers who are on SVR should contact their mortgage broker for whole of market advice, as this rate rise could make certain customer segments more vulnerable. For example, any significant movements upwards in base rate may cause some downsizing activity amongst older borrowers. They should also take professional advice about their options."

The New School University Center / March 01, 2014
A block to the west of Union Square stands the newest addition to the New School's urban campus, the SOM designed University Center. The Center is the latest in New York City's recent academic building boom, in which almost every major institution is adding to their campus. Since its founding in 1919, the New School's campus has grown as a multi-building network of schools that are concentrated in the Union Square neighborhood with several buildings spreading out to the east and west and two buildings further uptown. In order to provide a central hub for its 10,000 degree-seeking students and faculty of all disciplines to centrally connect, collaborate and live, the New School has developed the University Center.
The massing of the building employs the classic New York typology, driven by zoning regulations, of volumes that step back from the street wall as the height increases. A full site base volume houses the academic and performance spaces while the upper volume accommodates the residential student housing in its smaller floor plates. Covering both volumes is a mixture of glass and the dominate chocolate brown of the muntz metal, which echoes the brown of the First Presbyterian Church (Joseph C. Wells, 1845) to the southwest. Muntz metal is a type of brass composed of about 60% copper and 40% zinc that is both cost effective and durable compared to other metals of a similar hue.
The academic volume is visually dominated by the strongest architectural concept, the grand stair and the egress stair that have been pushed to the building's periphery and run in a parallel stack. This relocation opens up a building feature often concealed by interior location or the demands of life safety code, which requires two stairs which can withstand the effects of a fire for a period of time to allow building occupants a safe exit. On the facade, the stair registers as a dynamic, diagonal gash that erodes the opaque walls with faceted glass like an 8 bit termite swarm eating its way around the building. Not merely an aesthetic flourish, the concept seeks to address the real challenges of providing adequate vertical circulation for academic buildings which, unlike residential or office with its more concentrated periods of peak usage, have to accommodate hourly fluctuations as students and faculty migrate from class to class within the building. In the University Center, a skip stop elevator strategy encourages building occupants to utilize the stairs by confining elevator stops to every other floor, requiring the use of stairs for the floor above or below. The openness and novelty of the grand stair at the periphery rewards the occupant for the more active and energy efficient means of circulation.
At the top floor of the academic volume and the termination of the grand stair lies the Center's library and student study area, the Arnhold Forum. Occupying two floors, the library culminates in the first setback floor of the residential tower, where a Mathews Nielsen designed landscape provides a sustainable solution for rain water runoff and a tranquil foil to the urban panorama on view from the large expanses of glass.
Also present in the library, as in other floors of academic spaces, the grand stair's railing makes a strong presence in the space as a solid concrete faceted form that alters its shape from wall to bench, affording social engagement and transforming a mundane detail into a sculptural installation. The mechanical systems also impact the academic spaces with an artistic flair from the air ducts that double as sculpture by the American artist, Rita McBride.
Students and faculty find the same level of thoughtfulness in design and function in the 57 classrooms and supporting hallways which they will spend the greatest amount of time in. Each hallway is painted a different color, from the walls and storage lockers to the exposed mechanical pipes and ducts running along the ceiling. The specific color continues into the classrooms from the sprinkler pipe, while the remaining elements of the exposed mechanical systems and the walls are a neutral white. These classrooms are work spaces that remain flexible and raw to meet any future needs.
At the base of Center resides the most public programs of the Event Cafe and the John L. Tishman Auditorium, an 800 seat theater that can transform to accommodate dramatically different events. With the help of 18 electric lifts, the auditorium can reconfigure itself from a theater for dramatic performances to a lecture hall to a runway for fashion shows. A connection is maintained to the other occupants in the building with a tall vertical window along the side of the hall that allows people in the hallway to catch a glimpse of the activities on stage.
The iconic impact of the stair on both exterior and interior is matched by the building's signage and way-finding system, utilizing a typeface specially designed for the building by the Franco-Swiss graphic designer Ruedi Baur. A three dimensional typography has been created from a basis of the typeface Gotham and Irma that plays off of the iconic architectural elements on the exterior facade. Also included in the way-finding design is a graphic architectural element that acts as a logo for the building and is applied to the many glass interior partitions to satisfy the requirement for visual indicators of glass to occupants to avoid accidental collisions.
Kerrey Hall, the approximately 600 bed residential dormitory on the setback tower of floors 8-16, loses the intricate facets and folds of the grand stair for a more uniform envelope of metal and glass horizontal stripes. Though the reduction in floor plates for the dormitory is necessitated by zoning regulations and the standard dimensions of housing units, the tower's stripped down language of form and skin makes it feel like an afterthought tacked onto the more defined architectural language of the academic building's folds and facets.
With the completion of the University Center, the New School has built a new academic and social hub for their student body that also engages the neighborhood and its architectural heritage. As academic institutions continue their expansion projects in New York City in the coming years, lessons can be learned from the level of community engagement, implementation of sustainable strategies, and quality of design that have guided the New School in their development.

This report from the Biofuels task force of the World Energy Council reviews the debate between supporters and opponents of Biofuels, against the backdrop of rapidly increasing energy demand.
Skyrocketing prices of crude oil in the middle of the first decade of the 21st century accompanied by rising prices for food focused political and public attention on the role of biofuels. On the one hand, biofuels were considered as a potential automotive fuel with a bright future, on the other hand, biofuels were accused of competing with food production for land. The truth must lie somewhere in-between and is strongly dependent on the individual circumstance in different countries and regions. As food and energy are closely interconnected and often compete with each other for other resources, such as water, the World Energy Council – following numerous requests of its Member Committees – decided to undertake an independent assessment of biofuels policies, technologies and standards.

I find it ironic, and not in a funny way, that a certain, "loose network" of people who despise Western culture and ultimately wish to destroy it… have no qualms about using technology invented and refined by the Western culture to coordinate attacks in pursuit of its downfall. Satellite phones and, now more than ever, the Internet. Call it "martyrdom by way of convenience", I suppose.
Article: "Al-Qaeda cyber terrorist panics US" over at El Reg.
Don't give me any of that "by whatever means necessary" bullshit. If these assholes are going to inflict the harshest kind of fundamental-slash-dogmatic rhetoric upon the world to justify their zealotry, then I suppose that their gestalt "word of god" doesn't address hypocrisy? How is that possible?

The History of Etching
Etching is not just a small industrial aspect that revolves around the end of the year holidays or Valentine's Day. Etching is for giving someone you love a unique design and object you chose for me. But where did this trend originate? Before machines were made for this during the industrial revolution a traditional pure etching technique would use metal of a variety covered with waxy grounds resistance to acid. These meals are either copper, zinc or steel. The artist would use an oval-shaped etching needle to scratch off the ground. They will scratch at this ground until the metal is bare and exposed to create more designs.
Evolution of Etching
It was a primarily old usage of printmaking that evolved into etching that has now grown into laser engraving. Laser engraving mechanisms are a wide range of designs. Laser engravings are mainly used during the end of the year festivities and times of love. You give someone a laser engraved gift and it is extremely valuable for all ages. Etching evolved into laser engraving due to the boom in our technological advancements. They make a wide range of materials besides just metals. Any object from personalized cards, IDs, jewelry, and even food too!
Where You Can Find Out More
Laser engraving may not seem like a daily task. And it isn't. But it is a common one. Laser engraving has been around for years and is only becoming more part of our consumerist demands. You can find out more details about laser engraving not just from researching on the web but at a business' reliable site. Not only does it offer reliable information you can find as well on Wikipedia about the evolution of laser engraving. Click to find more out at https://www.needham-coding.com/systems/yag-laser-etching-machines/. The YAG laser system website is a U.K based business. With fast and wide coverage of the U.K this business can offer affordable and reliable information about the various laser engraving design machines offered o the market.
In the End: What to do now?
Researching this topic is interesting and can add a new perspective on our world today. Not only is laser engraving a product to buy but also to investigate. Instead of buying it for yourself maybe you know someone whose regular hobbies would also lead them to being interested in laser engraving.

Okay, who else is fed up with the gross weather? It's so bad that, to quote James, 'outside can do one'.
I hope it's not too bad wherever you're reading this, and you have some good wellies to splash around in.
To warm us all up a bit, I thought I'd share some photos from my trip to Rome in September – and remind myself that sunshine DOES exist.
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling much warmer for that. Hurry up, spring – okay?!

Mews Cottages

Nestled in the foothills of Mount Macedon is this gorgeous collection of cottage-style escapes, just 45 minutes from Melbourne. You can even leave your car at home because Mews Cottages are within walking distance of the train station in the quaint village of New Gisborne, which offers a sense of history, with a fabulous pub and cafe/provedore. Of course, if you do drive, Mews Cottages is the perfect base for exploring the wineries, restaurants, galleries and hiking trails of the Macedon Ranges.
What we love about Mews Cottages is their inimitable style. They are all sumptuously furnished with a French provincial feel, and wonderfully provisioned (the continental breakfast provisions are very generous).
Romantics will love Jasmine and Magnolia cottages with their big open-plan living areas and spa ensuites. Families and friends traveling together will be spoiled in the house-sized two-story Dahlia. Birch has one-bedroom, and is next door to the two-bedroom Lavender Cottage – combine both for three-bedrooms and you can share the sun-drenched courtyard. In total, the cottages can accommodate up to 14 so they are perfect for memorable group escapes - especially wedding parties, small corporate retreats and girlfriend getaways.
Complete with English-style box hedges, sunny courtyards and a beautiful tree-lined avenue setting, this is a charming yet contemporary getaway in this historic village.

Like Father Like Son – produced by Beardforce Films
Like Father Like Son – Our Entry Into The 54 Hour Film Fest
I recently competed in the 54 Hour Film Fest in Murfreesboro, TN. It was a fun competition and I had the opportunity to help out a friend by doing location sound for him. Our category was time travel. We had a blast and the replacement director came up with a great way to show time travel. Don't let me be the judge though. You judge for yourself. Enjoy and please comment below to let us know what you thought of the film.
Cheers! And Kepp Makin' Movies!

Film Riot – Mondays:
Ryan answers the viewer questions including character development and Upercut the Butt remixes (my personal favorite). He also recommends the short film Duet directed by Glen Keane. The only criticism I have of the film is the unrealistic lifetime of the dog. What a great animation. It looks like it's frame by frame art, but I could be wrong. Have a look by clicking the link above and make sure to comment on your thoughts on this episode of Film Riot with Ryan Connolly below in the comments box. If you want to edit like Ryan and many others, make sure to get your Adobe Premiere Pro CC [Digital Membership] and you're good to go. Once you edit something, send us a clip or trailer and we'll be glad to feature it here on the site. Until next time, keep making movies!

If you think she's big now, just wait until she's a behemoth.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, it was most frustrating trying to tell those who believed that Sarah Palin was a "snapshot in time" that we were actually looking at an "evolving candidate." While many bought into the caricature that the media painted, this blogger sat back looking at the attacks and the uncertainty with a kind of dismay, a lack of understanding at how people just didn't understand what I saw: a great one that was only running the early laps of her greatness.
Palin's greatness is a concept that will have to be proven to many disbelievers before they can see what I've seen in advance. The Sarah Palin that ran for vice president was the closest thing we've ever had since Ronald Reagan. And that's when she sucked.
The sing-song, happy go lucky girl who believed she could fly regardless of what the people thought has evolved into a polished woman who commands hundreds of thousands of dollars a speech, has written a best selling book and has access now through her position at Fox News to a media that once tried to destroy her. If I was a liberal, that would scare the crap out of me.
The woman on Fox News' O'Reilly Factor tonight was polished and ready. Word is she also brought the house down at her speech in Arkansas. Because the standard for her is so much higher than it is for the rest of the political field, it's almost impossible to imagine how big she will be when she breaks through and convinces the American people she's ready to lead. If there is anyone that leads this country, it should be someone who will have to go through the grueling test that will improve her even more than the one she's just been through. No one can make it through that kind of a "workout" without becoming ridiculously huge.

- Products for Wiser Living
You decided to become a farmer because you love being outside, working the land and making a difference in the way we eat and farm.
And when you decided to become a farmer, you also became an entrepreneur and business person. In order to be ecologically and financially sustainable, you must understand the basics of accounting and bookkeeping, and learn how to manage a growing business.
Author Julia Shanks distills years of teaching and business consulting with farmers into this comprehensive, accessible guide. She covers all aspects of launching, running, and growing a successful farm business through effective bookkeeping and business management. She provides tools to make managerial decisions, apply for a loan or other financing, and offers general business and strategy advice for growing a business.
Whether you've been farming for many years or are just getting started, The Farmer's Office gives you the tools needed to think like an entrepreneur and thoughtfully manage your business for success.
Such self-sufficiency is largely the result of basing their farming practices around intensive pasture management. witty and welcoming style, The Independent Farmstead covers everything from choosing a species of ruminant and incorporating it into a grass-based system to innovative electric fencing and watering systems. Best of all, it's the kind of rare how-to book that the authors themselves view not as a compendium of one-size-fits-all instructions but as "the beginning of a conversation," one that is utterly informative, sincere, and inspiring.
Root cellaring isn't just for off-the-grid types or farmers with large gardens. Storing food makes good sense, both financially and environmentally. And root cellars can easily fit anywhere. In this intelligent, convincing book, authors Jennifer Megyesi and Geoff Hansen show how to make them part of every reader's life.
The Lean Farm makes the case that small-scale farming can be an attractive career option for young people who are interested in growing food for their community. Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the kind of burnout that startup farmers often encounter in the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor.
For those interested in developing their own agritourism project, this book offers an overview of the origins of agritourism and provides useful information on developing an original plan. With profiles of farmers and their microfarms from around the world, this book shows innovative ways to develop and structure a plan that is safe, legal, promotes the enterprise, and is sure to progress and prosper in coming years.
The New Farmer's Almanac, Volume 3 contains 360 pages of original agrarian content, essays, cartoons, imagery, and historical snippets, ?harnessed from more than 120 contributors to the Greenhorns (a nontraditional grassroots organization made up of young farmers and ranchers). Farmers hold space in many interwoven commons, and possibilities for our shared future rests on how these intersecting commons are governed?particularly at the juncture of humanity and ecology, where farmers make their workplace. In re-visiting the almanac format, this volume asserts a version of Americana and addresses how to equip ourselves for the challenges of rebuilding the food system and restoring a more democratic, more diverse, and more resilient foundation for society. In the face of a dystopian future where the weather is unpredictable, the fossil fuel economy is on the point of collapse, monopolies are endlessly consolidating, and the country is, for the first time in our history, majority urban, this publication provides a utopian voice. It reminds today's farmers about the foundational concepts of an agrarian democracy?concepts that are themselves utopian. This almanac also rejects the self-propelling logic of techno-utopia?dependent upon extraction economies and enclosure of common resources. Instead, the book orients itself toward the words of Ursula Le Guin, who reminds us that the intent in utopian thinking should not be "reactionary, nor even conservative, but simply subversive. It seems that the utopian imagination is trapped, like capitalism and industrialism and the human population, in a one-way future consisting only of growth." This tidy volume holds a civil, lived testimony from people whose work, lifeworld, and behavior patterns beamingly subvert the normative values of the macro economy called America.
The New Livestock Farmer provides pasture-based production essentials for a wide range of animals, from common farm animals (cattle, poultry, pigs, sheep and goats) to more exotic species (bison, rabbits, elk and deer).
Coleman updates practical information on marketing the harvest, on small-scale equipment, and on farming and gardening for the long-term health of the soil. Written for a serious gardener or small market farmer, The New Organic Grower proves that, in terms of both efficiency and profitability, smaller can be better. As seen in High Mowing Organic Seeds catalog.
The Nourishing Homestead tells the story of how we can create truly satisfying and permanent relationships with the land, nature and one another.
Ben and Penny Hewitt offer practical ways to grow nutrient-dense food on a small plot of land, and think about a farm, homestead or home as an ecosystem. Much of what the Hewitts have come to understand and embrace about their lives of deep nourishment is informed by their particular piece of land and local community in northern Vermont, but what they have gleaned is readily transferable to any place—whether you live on 4 acres, 40 acres or in a 400-square-foot studio apartment.
The Hewitts (including their two sons) maintain copious gardens, dozens of fruit and nut trees, and other perennial plantings, as well as a pick-your-own blueberry patch. In addition to these cultivated food crops, they also forage for wild edibles, process their own meat, make their own butter, and ferment, dry and can their own vegetables. Their focus is to produce nutrient-dense foods from vibrant, mineralized soils for themselves and their immediate community. They are also committed to sharing the traditional skills that support their family, helping them be self-sufficient and thrive in these uncertain times.
Much of what the Hewitts are attempting on their homestead is to close the gaps that economic separation has created in our health, spirit and skills. They use the term "practiculture" to describe the family's work with the land—a term that encompasses the many practical life skills and philosophies they embody to create a thriving homestead, including raw-milk production, soil remediation, wildcrafting, Weston A. Price principles, bionutrient-dense farming, permaculture, agroforestry, traditional Vermont hill farming, and more. The Nourishing Homestead also includes information on deep nutrition, the importance of good fats and integrating children into the work of a homestead.
The Hewitts' story is reminiscent of The Good Life, by Helen and Scott Nearing, and is sure to inspire a new generation of homesteaders, or anyone seeking a simpler way of life and a deeper connection to the world.
Farming without tilling has long been a goal of agriculture, yet tilling remains one of the most dominant paradigms; almost everyone does it. But tilling kills beneficial soil life, burns up organic matter, and releases carbon dioxide. If the ground could instead be prepared for planting without tilling, time and energy could be saved, soil organic matter increased, carbon sequestered, and dependence on machinery reduced.
Andrew Mefferd, editor of Growing for Market magazine, offers a comprehensive, farmer-developed roadmap showing how no-till farming lowers barriers to starting a small farm, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases efficiency and profitability, and promotes soil health.
This hands-on manual offers:
This is the only manual of its kind, specifically written for natural and small-scale farmers who wish to expand or explore chemical-free, regenerative farming methods.
The urban landscape has swallowed vast swaths of prime farmland across North America. Imagine how much more self-reliant our communities would be if 30 million acres of lawns were made productive again. Permaculture is a practical way to apply ecological design principles to food, housing, and energy systems; making growing fruits, vegetables and livestock easier and more sustainable.
The Permaculture Handbook is a step-by-step, beautifully illustrated guide to creating resilient and prosperous households and neighborhoods, complemented by extensive case studies of three successful farmsteads and market gardens. This comprehensive manual casts garden farming as both an economic opportunity and a strategy for living well with less money. It shows how, by mimicking the intelligence of nature and applying appropriate technologies such as solar and environmental design, permaculture can:
This guide contains 101 easy things you can do to ready your home for a disaster. The simple yet smart projects ensure that any household is prepared for that inevitable day when disaster strikes. From California earthquakes and Rocky Mountain wildfires to Midwest floods and Atlantic hurricanes, millions of people face life-threatening emergencies each year. This handy and helpful book shows readers how easy it is to prepare their home and family for any disaster. By breaking down the many facets of prepping into straightforward steps, this book transforms a seemingly daunting task into easy-to-do, manageable projects. Author Bernie Carr's unique "survivalist lite" approach requires readers to dedicate little time, money, or space, but provides a big payoff: being fully prepared and self-sufficient.

Simone you have done it again!! I have been wanting to purchase the… whats it called again? … Oh yea clarisonic for so long now, but I am not a proud owner because of the pricey price tag.
Sigma will soon be releasing their version very soon! What so interesting with this product is that it comes with three different heads (soft, medium, & firm). This is AWESOME because it can be used by everyone. Knowing me I probably will love the firm option, but I know there are a lot of people out there who have really sensitive skin and will be so happy that they have options to choose from!!
What I am really excited to see is the price tag for this baby, and I am thinking its going to be a much LOWER from Simone's tweets.
Are you guys interested in the product?
Will be released May 30th and retail for $39!!!

The American Automobile Association found that the ownership costs of a medium sedan is nearly $9,000 a year when driven 15,000 miles. (This does not include the cost of parking tickets!)
In Cambridge, many residents skip automobile ownership costs altogether by going car-free. Since 2000, the number of Cambridge households owning zero vehicles has increased from 27.7% to 32.2% (Census 2000, 2006-2008 American Community Survey).

By David Joel Miller, MS, Licensed Therapist & Licensed Counselor.
Trim away the worries and live a healthier life.
Want a reduced stress diet? Try trimming out some of the stress. Just as weight loss programs tell you to trim the fat out of your diet there are three ways to trim excess stress out of your life.
1. Cut off the future
Learn to be mindful and stay in the present. Yes, of course, you should make plans for the future and take the steps needed to get there, but stressing over things that may or may not happen adds a lot of stress to your diet for events you haven't even tasted yet.
Worrying that you may not get what you want can add a lot of stress to your life today when what you should really be doing is the required work to get where you are going. Stressing over the uncertainty of the future can keep you from enjoying the taste of the present.
2. Cut down on the past
A steady diet of regrets and recriminations about the past can keep you stressed out and unable to live in the present.
The work of grieving over losses and letting go of guilt and shame may require seeing a therapist or counselor. Make the effort to process those old hurts and let them go.
Many of us have resentments towards people who have harmed or wronged us in the past. Holding onto those old wounds keeps us living in the stress of events that have long since ended.
Let the past live in the past and spend your time having the best possible present to enjoy your low-stress diet.
3. Stop trying to eat other people's dinner – worrying about problems others need to solve
That you care about others is wonderful, but if you are finding your life overrun by stressors then you need to send some of them back where they came from.
You can't solve problems for others and the more you stress yourself out over their issues the fewer resources you have for your life in the here and now.
If you chose to worry and stress there will always be negative news from around the globe twenty-four-seven. Some people believe that worrying and stressing over what might happen somehow keeps the safe from an unwanted future. It doesn't work that way.
Prepare for the worst but live in the now. Limit your worrying to the things that you really may be able to influence and practice your acceptance of those things that are out of your control.
Is a reduced stress diet for you?
Try one for a while and see if you are not healthier and happier. If reduced stress does not work for you then you can always go back to worrying about the problems that are out of your control.

Radio silence?
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles - email) | Nov 05, 2014
Don't you immediately see the problem with this headline from St. Louis Public Radio?
Priest Silenced By Vatican Shares His Story
If Father Tony Flannery is "sharing his story" on the air, he isn't being silent, is he? As a matter of fact, if the Irish priest is traveling across the ocean to give a talk, he's not acting very silent at all.
It's conventional to portray the Vatican as the dark power, punishing all critics. But it's important to keep in mind that the Vatican actually has very little power in this world. The Vatican might have tried to silence Father Flannery. It didn't work. So now he travels the world as a minor celebrity, giving public speeches about how he has been silenced.
In St. Louis, by the way, he'll be speaking at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church. Does that name ring a bell? Last year the rebellious administrators of that parish settled a long-running legal dispute with the Archdiocese of St. Louis, in which they agreed that they would no longer present the parish as a Catholic church. Thus the priest who will not follow a directive from the Vatican will be speaking to parishioners in a congregation that won't follow directives from the archdiocese.

Ways of Reducing Shipping Costs
For the growth of a business, there are many factors that are effective to facilitate this, factors that customers look out for to see if the company offers them before going ahead and seek for their goods and services and one of the ways is through offering of deliveries; an example of a common means used for delivery of business products include shipping.
In e-commerce there are various forms that a business owner can use in the transportation of their goods to the specified destination and of the effective ways of long distance delivery system is the use of a shipment service, an example of a delivery system that a business owner should go ahead and use as this type of delivery tends to have various advantages that a seller might benefits from in a significant way.
Looking at one of the major challenges that shipment delivery faces is the high cost charges for the services offered, and ways applicable to prevent this from taking place further include:
Light Weight
There is a difference in charges between transportation of goods by vehicles and transportation by ship, the difference is that for the shipping services, they offer transportation according to how heavy the weight is in that the heavier of it, the more you will be charged on the services and as a seller looking for ways to reduce the cost of the shipment, the choosing a way that will reduce the weight of the goods is a great way to ensure that you save more.
After you have successfully made your first shipment, the containers that you used to do the shipments with can be reused to undertake another shipment that is if they are in excellent condition, and through recycling some of the containers you used which can be costly to purchase, is a good way of your reducing your budget expense that you could have spent in your next shipment and inturn save some good cash from it.
Bulk Purchase
Shipping cost, not only does it affect seller, but also the buyer and for a purchaser looking to do their shipment in a cost-effective way, one the effective ways that they can use is buying the goods in bulk all at once and facing the charges rather than purchasing the products in small portion at different shipments and later facing a sum of high charges as they accumulate all at once.
Company's Terms
There are cases where you will find a business owner or a purchaser doing all the necessity of ensuring that they face fewer charges in their shipment but still they face high fees from the shipping company and wonder where they went wrong; however, not many factors that people look out for is considering going through the company basics that include some of their charges of the shipping services that they do offer their clients, which can be a great factor that makes the charges high for the seller or buyer if the fees are high.

Scientists Grow Heart Valve From Stem Cells

According to the statistic, coronary disease is No. one killer out of diseases. We are all afraid that ourselves or our members of to obtain heart disease. So when we even are young children, our mums and dads reveal that "do not consume too a lot oil, and do not be excess fat, control the cholesterol". That's to say, in our mind, cholesterol will be essentially the most fundamental element which brings heart illness. But wise Dr. Lundell discovered that this concept was wrong, totally incorrect.
What I would personally like realize is why we think before you buy to celebrate the accomplishments of individuals who actually certain that contributions to our own society. Where are the Teacher Cash payouts? Why are we not giving just a little trophy and recognition for the best heart surgeon, or probably the most effective firefighter? Where's the fascination with the guy who comes and finds our trash each little while?
The Anesthesia doctor were only available to my cubby hole and provided the pre-sedation. As he was trying this I happened to look across the aisle from me. There was a pretty fifteen yr old girl and her father in the cubby hole across the aisle. While much my bed was being wheeled away from my cubby hole, her doctor had told her they were going to have to obtain rid of her nose and upper lip a new result of a spot on her the nose. The scream that came from her the blood curdling scream when i had only heard inside movies.
Dr. Lundell is a cardiovascular and Dr Mohamed Attawia achieved surgical success. He discovered that some people have regular stage cholesterol, but they've significant heart issue. And by way of observing and testing, he found inflammation may be the essential suggest assault heart and provide heart sickness. This discovery makes them no far more thought which he support 40-year principle that cholesterol triggered heart . So this really is why this book called "The Great Cholesterol Lie".
It's obvious while many do choose plastic surgery for their alternative to be able to younger it's not always one of the most desirable a single. Of course another thing that along with today's modern is everyone wants immediate results, no one wants to hold back for anything, and employed for something doesn't seem become worth in addition to. Of course anti aging supplements are an alternative if looking younger is the goal. But what constitutes an antiaging remedies supplement?
It depends. if you let your personal home go into foreclosure, credit rating is going to suffer, nonetheless it has nothing to do making use of divorce. When get a divorce and complete payments even now being made, that's not going to affect your own. However, if you receive a divorce and suddenly the wife can't make the payments and she or he goes into foreclosure, however the home is at both the husband and wife's names, both inside credits can certainly be smack.
One among the more popular topics recently is fasting for fat reduction. Dr. Oz says fasting has many great many (such as allowing your body to recover from the constant stresses of metabolizing food), but is not the best technique to lose fat loss.
If a person are you're not living your greatness during that time, ask: Am I building my skills so that I'll be geared up when then it's time? Do I know a few things i really want to do but hesitate because of the things others might imagine? Am I waiting until it's too painful to refrain from doing it?
