Improving your brand can be steadily achieved in small strategic steps and you don't always have to spend a lot of money upfront to do so. If you take into account that your brand is more than a logo; more than the business name, then you will begin to understand what steps to take.
The first step is to take a look at the image of your business. Does it convey the correct message that you want to send to your customers. After all, your image and that of your staff, vehicles, offices and everything else that people see, is the physical embodiment of your brand that your customers see.
The people
Small changes to staff uniform, such as ensuring everybody who is customer facing is either dressed in a corporate way for meetings, welcoming staff etc. For those who have staff that visit customers or need a more flexible set of clothes for the nature of the work, ensure they are all wearing the correct uniform, and ensure it is clean, is the correct size, and has company branding on it. This is a small way in which we can let our customers know we take pride in how we look; pay attention to detail and create a friendly image that the customers can relate to and trust.
The vehicles
If you use vehicles which visit customers quite often, or even if you don't, but still travel a lot, this is a form of advertising. With this mobile source of advertising, it is important that you are again consistent with the image and brand of the business. Vehicles which look a little damaged, or have poor branding reflect badly on the business and gave the brand an unprofessional image which carries through to the business as a whole.
If you are a business that hardly uses stationery, it is still important to pay attention here. Even if you only send one letter out per year, customers who see it will relate it to your level of success. So if you want to appear to be a professional capable business who have the ability to be carrying out work day in day out, it would be assumed that you would be sending out more than one letter and therefore need to pay more attention to detail. In short, a big business sending out poor stationery can look less professional than a small business sending out well designed, well thought out stationery.
To sum up, all of the issues addressed above are a representation of your brand, which bigger businesses need to address to demonstrate their level of success. So if that is where you aspire to be, and you have the skills to do so – then your brand is likely to make the difference.

From The Roanoke Times
Anna & Elizabeth's new album is their next evolutionary step
By: Tad Dickens
[…] If ["Here in the Vineyard"] was a tentative step onto a new trail, the pair's new album, The Invisible Comes to Us, sounds like a first monumental destination. Anna & Elizabeth's music has always sounded pretty haunted. Now, such songs as 'Ripest of Apples' and 'By the Shore' make one want to listen in the dark, in a corner, hoping that some demon doesn't come along to suck out his very soul. It's a beautiful thing.
'There's a sense that me and Elizabeth have always shared of really wanting to play with people's idea of nostalgia,' Roberts-Gevalt said in a phone call last week from a train headed out of Brooklyn, New York, her home for about a year. 'Both of us were always drawn to the beautiful old songs, but also to the sense of darkness and depression. Those are things that both of us have experienced in our own personal lives, too. It totally felt like having extra sounds allowed us to feel them really personally.
''The Ripest of Apples' song could be nostalgic, like, 'Do I have to go across the sea to my boyfriend?' But to me, it's like that thing when you're in love and the person doesn't love you anymore and it's so frustrating that you can't stop thinking about them. It's this deeply horrifying thing where you're obsessed about this person. I think you can access this a little bit more by having a bigger palette of sounds to work with.'
[…] The 'Hop High/Here in the Vineyard' session was, as it turns out, a test run for the new disc, Roberts-Gevalt said. Over the years, as the duo traveled and met more people, they encountered two types of players. There were the ones like them, who were recording straighter versions of the old-timey canon, when they were recording at all. And there were the ones who were in studios much more frequently and who considered the process an equal art form to the playing itself.
'This whole other process of us making a recording, it reminds me of more like painting or something like that,' Roberts-Gevalt said. 'And it was really fun.'

It's massive and cracked down the middle
1. Here are the facts.
Uranus is located at a distance of almost 20 AU from the Sun. It has a very long orbital period of 84 Earth years, although it only takes it over 17 Earth hours to do a full axial rotation. By volume, it is roughly the equivalent of 63,000 Earths, although only about 14,500 Earths by mass since it is a gas giant.
2. It's got a weird name.
We're not referring here about the double entendre that creates so many opportunities for jokes which we will, of course, be avoiding here (apart from the one above). Someone who is good at mythology should be able to spot it. Other planets, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn etc, these are all named after Roman gods. Uranus (well, Ouranos) was a Greek god. However, it could have been a lot weirder. Initially, its discoverer, Sir William Herschel, wanted to name it George, after King George III who was a big supporter of his efforts. More specifically, it would have been named Georgium Sidus (George's Star).
Unsurprisingly, this decision wasn't very popular outside of Britain so other options were proposed. For a while, Neptune was actually the frontrunner but we eventually settled on Uranus at the suggestion of Johann Elert Bode.
3. Herschel thought it was a comet.
Naming a planet George's Star would have been quite confusing but the truth is that, for a while, we weren't sure exactly what Uranus was exactly. When he first discovered it in 1781, Herschel thought it was a comet or a nebulous star. According to his journal, he eventually ruled out a star and went to present his discovery to the Royal Society, but still touted it as a comet. Over the next few years, further observations allowed astronomers to conclude that Uranus was, indeed, a planet due to its almost circular orbit.
4. It is sometimes labeled an ice giant.
Although it's still a giant ball of gases, there is quite a difference in the composition of Uranus (and Neptune) as opposed to Jupiter and Saturn. The latter two are mainly composed of hydrogen and helium – somewhere around 90% of their total composition. On the other hand, Uranus is composed of volatile ices, primarily water, ammonia and methane, thus being referred to as an ice giant. It still has hydrogen in its composition, but it is thought to lack the metallic hydrogen core that the gas giants have.
5. Let's talk moons.
So far, we've discovered 27 moons orbiting Uranus, but none of them is particularly impressive. The largest satellite, Titania, is still about half the size of our own Moon. Other notable moons include Umbriel, Oberon, Ariel and Miranda. Even so, Uranus has the least massive satellite system of all the giant planets.
6. It gets pretty cold.
In fact, true to its name as an ice giant, Uranus is the coldest planet in the Solar System. You would expect the planet farthest from the Sun to be the coldest but actually Uranus has a colder atmosphere despite the two planets sharing a similar composition. Temperatures in Uranus' atmosphere can get as low as -370 Fahrenheit (-218 degrees Celsius).
7. Uranus has rings.
Like we mentioned before, Saturn is not the only planet with rings even though its ring system is, by far, the most well-known and most visible. Jupiter also has rings and so does Uranus. The rings of Uranus are not very thick and very tricky to spot. So far we have identified 13 rings around the planet, although it is possible that more exist.
8. Uranus has a weird axial tilt.
It is almost 98 degrees, making the axis of rotation almost parallel to the plane of the Solar System. While the other planets rotate similar to a spinning top, Uranus' rotation will be more similar to a rolling ball. This also means that each pole is exposed to the Sun for about half the year and then left in complete darkness for the other half; so each season on Uranus lasts roughly for 20 Earth years. There is only a thin strip around its equator that experiences the regular day-night cycle.
9. It has a dark spot.
Uranus doesn't have particularly interesting weather anomalies like the Great Red Spot on Jupiter or the vortex on Saturn. Even so, it still has one thing which is a bit mysterious – a dark spot. It probably has more (Neptune has loads of them), but the spot in question was the first one discovered and we're not really sure why it's there. We've already talked about Uranus' bizarre and extremely long seasons so the appearance of the spot could have something to do with the coming of spring in the planet's northern hemisphere.
10. You can see Uranus with the naked eye.
With a brightness magnitude of about 5.3, it's really at the limit of what we can see in the sky with our own eyes. However, you will need ideal conditions for this to happen. Here's a rundown of what that means.

The Patriots have been holding their breath about tight end Rob Gronkowski, wondering if he will have to have a fourth surgery on his left forearm or not.
The last month has been more of a "wait-and-see" period, with Gronkowski essentially buying more time for doctors to determine if the infection has cleared.
Gronkowski has been working in the Patriots' offseason program, and for what it's worth, one opinion from someone who has seen him is that he "looks great." A month ago, surgery was seen as "very likely" but there has always remained a chance that it could be avoided.
At this point, there have been no unexpected setbacks; however, as Gronkowski has already learned, things can always change quickly.

Fish in Gulf of Mexico experience heart attacks due to oil contamination
by: L.J. Devon
Friday, February 21, 2014
Swimming majestically in the open seas, with eyes wide on both sides of its face, the bluefin tuna gazes into… a curtain of crude oil.
When the 2010 BP oil spill contaminated the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, beautiful wild fish like the bluefin tuna were forced to face new challenges for survival. Now, researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Stanford University are discovering that oil pollution can elicit early heart attacks in this species of fish.
Bluefin tuna cannot escape or hide from heart-debilitating oil pollution

How to become a Professional Blogger – Make Money From Home Publishing Your Own Blog
Updated June 2016
A weblog (or simply blog) is a website that 'publishes' or features articles (which are called 'blog posts', 'posts', or 'entries'), written by an individual or a group that make use of any or a combination of the following:
a) Straight texts
b) Photographs or images (photoblog)
d) Audio files (audioblog)
e) Hyperlinks
Usually presented and arranged in reverse chronological order, blogs are essentially used for the following purposes:
- Online journal or a web diary
- Content management system
- Online publishing platform
A typical blog has the following components:
- Post date – the date and time of the blog entry
- Category – the category that the blog belongs to
- Title – the title of the blog
- Main body – the main content of the blog
- RSS and trackback – links the blog back from other sites
- Comments – commentaries that are added by readers
- Permalinks – the URL of the full article
Other optional items – calendar, archives, blogrolls, and add-ons or plug-ins
A blog can also have a footer, usually found at the bottom of the blog, that shows the post date, the author, the category, and the 'stats' (the number of comments or trackbacks).
There are a wide variety of subjects and categories that cater to numerous types of blogs. Some of them are the following:
- Political blog – on news, politics, activism, and other issue based blogs (such as campaigning)
- Personal blog – also known as online diary that may include an individual's day-to-day experience, complaints, poems, and illicit thoughts, and communications between friends
- Topical blog – with focus either on a particular niche (function or position) that is usually technical in nature or local information
- Health blog – on specific health issues. Medical blog is a major category of health blog that features medical news from health care professionals and/or actual patient cases
- Literary blog – also known as litblog
- Travel blog – with focus on a traveler's stories on a particular journey
- Research blog – on academic issues such as research notes
- Legal blog – on law (technical areas) and legal affairs; also known as 'blawgs'
- Media blog – focus on falsehoods or inconsistencies in mass media; usually exclusive for a newspaper or a television network
- Religious blog – on religious topics
- Educational blog – on educational applications, usually written by students and teachers
- Collaborative or collective blog – a specific topic written by a group of people
- Directory blog – contains a collection of numerous web sites
- Business blog – used by entrepreneurs and corporate employees to promote their businesses or talk about their work
- Personification blog – focus on non-human being or objects (such as dogs)
- Spam blogs – used for promoting affiliated websites; also known as 'splogs'
Blogging is typically done on a regular (almost daily) basis. The term "blogging" refers to the act of authoring, maintaining, or adding an article to an existing blog, while the term "blogger" refers to a person or a group who keeps a blog.
Today, more than 3 million blogs can be found in the Internet. This figure is continuously growing, as the availability of various blog software, tools, and other applications make it easier for just about anyone to update or maintain the blog (even those with little or no technical background). Because of this trend, bloggers can now be categorized into 4 main types:
- Personal bloggers – people who focus on a diary or on any topic that an individual feels strongly about
- Business bloggers – people who focus on promoting products and services
- Organizational bloggers – people who focus on internal or external communication in an organization or a community
- Professional bloggers – people who are hired or paid to do blogging
Problogging (professional blogging) refers to blogging for a profit. Probloggers (professional bloggers) are people who make money from blogging (as an individual blog publisher or a hired blogger).
Below are just some of the many money-making opportunities for probloggers:
a) Advertising programs
c) Sponsorship
d) Affiliate Programs
e) Digital assets
f) Blog network writing gigs
g) Business blog writing gigs
h) Non blogging writing gigs
i) Donations
j) Flipping blogs
k) Merchandising
l) Consulting and speaking
Its always best to have a Business Plan and therefore the following are a few things that you need to consider if you want to be successful in problogging:
Click Image To Enlarge
- Be patient. Problogging requires a lot of time and effort, not to mention a long-term vision
- Know your audience. Targeting a specific audience or group is a key to building a readership
- Be an 'expert'. Focus on a specific niche topic and strive to be the "go-to" blogger on that topic
- Diversify. Experiment with various add and affiliate programs that enable you to make money online (aside from blogging)
- Do not bore your readers. Focus on the layout. White spaces, line spacings, and bigger fonts make a blog welcoming to read
Certainly, it is possible to earn money from blogs. One just needs to take risks, the passion, and the right attitude in order to be a successful problogger.
If you're pretty good at stringing words together you could make good money blogging with this skill and even if you're not there are other ways. For example, do you have a hobby or interest you know a great deal about? Do you have a particular skill or knowledge gained over a period of time? These are things you would be seen as an expert on and you could blog about them on a regular basis with your own blog. Once you start to get a following the sky's the limit for you to earn an income from blogging as a member of online communities, forums, newsletter, newsboards or even with your own website.
Having your own websites is a great idea because then you have total control over it and what your blog content is about as well, and with an RSS feed you can spread the word world-wide and get visitors flocking to your site to see what you have to say. You could also advertise products as an affiliate on your site as well that are related to the subject of your blog and make yourself a pretty decent online income. Interested, because if you are I know just the place where you can go to get started.
There is an online company with a program that in my opinion is second to none for launching internet careers, and they will give you two websites for nothing and host those sites on the internet for you totally free as well. I can assure you this is a great deal if you know anything about building money making websites and the cost of hosting them. Still interested?

FLG has a long-standing theory that ambitious men are, with few exceptions, the offspring of abusive or absent fathers.
A column by Peggy Noonan about Diane Blair's notes about the Clintons reminded him of his theory, not that he forgot it per se, but it just hasn't been at the forefront of his mind lately:
the Blair papers remind us that in the past quarter-century the office of the presidency has become everyone's psychotherapy. There is an emphasis on the personality, nature, character and charisma of the president. He gets into dramas. He survives them. He is working out his issues. He is avenging childhood feelings of powerlessness. He is working through his ambivalence at certain power dynamics. He will show dad.
FLG really needs to sit down and write a post looking at the Father-Son relationship of every president.

70% of our CYC students are Members, which means they receive unlimited adult classes 7 days a week, for $85 per month, paid by cash, check or MC/Visa once a month—a significant savings over the single class price for the regular yoga practitioner. We will never pressure you to become a member. However, if you plan to come to class at least twice per week, membership may make sense for you.
I encourage you to join our membership program and receive 6 months of unlimited classes for only $85 per month. We have an incredible community of yoga students and teachers at Camarillo Yoga, who would all say yoga has been transformative in their lives. If you have any questions, please e-mail me. I am looking forward to sharing your growth in yoga, and your participation in making Camarillo Yoga a warm and welcoming place for everyone!

Shaun Tomson (born 21 August 1955) is a South African professional surfer[1] and former world champion, environmentalist, actor, author and businessman.
Life and career[edit]
He was born in Durban, South Africa. As a Jewish athlete, he was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1995. He learned to surf in the beachbreaks in and around Durban under the watchful eye of his father Ernie, and alongside older cousin Michael Tomson and brother Paul Tomson.
Tomson attended school in Durban - Clifton Preparatory, Carmel College and the University of Natal, where he received a Bachelor of Commerce degree majoring in Business Finance. He graduated from Northeastern University with a Master of Science in Leadership with a focus on social change. Tomson went on to dominate amateur surfing competition in South Africa and began venturing over to Hawaii in the late 1960s, courtesy of a bar mitzvah present from his father. It was on one of these trips that an awestruck 14-year-old Tomson witnessed at first hand the so-called "Biggest Wave Ever Ridden" by Californian Greg Noll at Mākaha in 1969. Hawaii's surf proved to be a daunting challenge for Tomson, but he continued to mature and train in South Africa's hollow waves, such as Cave Rock, the Bay Of Plenty, and Jeffrey's Bay.
Tomson has been listed as one of the 25 most influential surfers of the century and as one of the 10 greatest surfers of all time. During his career he was both the youngest and oldest surfer to win a pro event and is considered to be one of the architects of professional surfing.
Surfing and the Free Ride generation[edit]
In 1975, Tomson was an integral part of the "Free Ride" generation. Along with Australians Wayne Bartholomew, Mark Richards, Ian Cairns, Peter Townend and Mark Warren, they rode the infamous waves along Oahu's legendary North Shore with a style, aggression, and raw courage unseen prior to their arrival. Collectively, these surfers changed the face of surfing and were the first to really apply themselves as serious professional surfers. With his good looks, eloquence, and undeniable athleticism, Tomson served by default as the face and voice of this movement and he is still viewed as the prototype blueprint for today's pro surfer, with legions of fans throughout the world. Tomson won the highly coveted IPS World Championship in 1977.
On a performance level, Tomson completely changed the way the tube section of the wave was ridden, using a unique style of pumping and weaving through and around collapsing sections of the barrel. Even today, his electrifying performances at Off The Wall and Backdoor Pipeline stand the test of time. A memorable quote of his from the period was, "Time is expanded inside the tube." A very underrated aspect of Tomson's inventiveness was his in the tube punch throughs where he escaped unscathed from hideous closeout sections over a shallow reef.
In film[edit]
Tomson has appeared in many films, including Free Ride, Fantasea, Many Classic Moments, and In God's Hands. Tomson also co-produced an award-winning full-length feature film about the benchmark mid-1970s surfing era called, Bustin' Down the Door, which premiered in early 2008. He also wrote and narrated a documentary about Jeffreys Bay called A Pure Line.
Books and digital media[edit]
Tomson is the author of the best-selling Surfer's Code – 12 Simple lessons for riding through life and the #1 Amazon teen bestseller: The Code - The Power of I Will.
He also authored Bustin' Down the Door – Revolution of '75, a companion to the film of the same name and Krazy Kreatures – Under my Surfboard!, a collection of illustrated rhymes for children.
He has released 3 iPhone/iPad applications – Surfboards, a reference guide for surfboards; Surfer – a digital form of Surfer's Code and Surf Creatures, animated rhymes for children.
Tomson is a board member and ambassador for Surfrider Foundation, the world's largest environmental group dedicated to protecting the world's oceans, waves and beaches. In 1984 he was the first professional surfer to become a member of the foundation and was chairman of the Advisory board. In 2002 he received the Surf Industry Manufacturer Association Environmentalist of the Year Award for his environmental efforts. Tomson is also co-founded and remains affiliated with the environmentally active celebrity surfer organization Project Save Our Surf.[2]
Tomson founded, managed and sold two multi-million market-leading clothing brands – Instinct in the 1980s and Solitude in the 1990s.
He is currently an inspirational speaker for some of the world's largest companies and talks about the influence of positive values on success in life and business based on his own experiences of overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges, in and out of the surf. An attitude of Commitment and Positivity is the basis for his unique empowering business philosophy based on his "Surfer's Code – 12 Simple Lessons for Riding through Life". He has spoken internationally and inspired and touched the hearts of audiences as large as 3,000 people, has shared the stage with well-known personalities, including Sir Richard Branson and Malcolm Gladwell, and inspired corporations like General Motors, Cisco, Price Waterhouse, Toys R Us, Sasol, Disney, Google, Primedia, MTN and Adcock Ingram.
Personal life[edit]
The Tomsons' son Mathew died on 24 April 2006 in Durban, South Africa from an accidental death caused by playing the "choking game."[3]
Tomson lives with his wife in Santa Barbara, California. And surfs daily.

A recent study discovered that fewer than half of the cats who arrive at Canadian shelters get adopted out. This is just one of the key findings in the report "Cats in Canada," published by The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS).
To learn about cat overpopulation in Canada, CFHS collected opinions from nearly 500 shelters and rescue groups, veterinarians, government organizations and spay/neuter groups. Across the board, respondents agreed that adoption is the easiest, most successful solution.
Odds are against cats in shelters
Canadian shelters are jammed with cats, and every day more arrive at their doors. Shelters receive twice as many cats as dogs. In 2011, organizations that participated in the survey took in more than 150,000 cats.
Adding to the problem: cats are less likely to be reunited with their families than dogs are. And generally, a cat's stay in a shelter is longer than a dog's, because it takes longer for cats to be adopted.
Since cats stay in shelters longer, they're more likely to get sick. Shelters also need to free up space to take in new pets. Long stays and illness often lead to euthanasia for cats. In 2011, responding organizations euthanized almost 6 times as many cats as dogs.
Adoption is the most available solution
Overpopulation, crowded shelters and cat euthanasia — these are problems we can help solve, together.
The CFHS survey found that adoption is the most readily available solution to the cat overpopulation problem. Most respondents thought that adoption was a successful option, too.
Canadians certainly love cats
CFHS learned that 1 in 3 Canadians — more than a third of households — has a cat. That's a big win, considering that in the U.S., 35% of respondents in a 2012 American Humane Association study said they "don't like cats." Canadian cats already have a good reputation.
While people in Canada don't need much convincing about how lovable cats are, cats do need help getting the word out about the fight for their lives in shelters. The CFHS study found that Canadians are more likely to acquire a cat from a friend or relative or from their own pet's litter, or take in a stray instead of adopting from an adoption organization.
PetSmart Charities® of Canada is working to solve the problem
The report emphasizes the importance of a range of adoption strategies to increase the number of cat adoptions. That point hits close to home for PetSmart Charities® of Canada.
We are a leader in pet adoptions. Together with our animal welfare partners, PetSmart Charities of Canada finds homes for more than 14,000 cats and dogs each year.
Through our relationships with our adoption partners, we address overpopulation at the community level, all across the country. No other charity is able to save as many lives as we do, because of our reach and collaborative approach.
Saving pets' lives through adoption
- Everyday Cat Adoption Centres: In more than 80 PetSmart® stores across Canada, you can find your purr-fect forever friend every day. Right from the beginning, PetSmart pioneered the first adoptions in retail stores in 1994. PetSmart donates in-store adoption space to PetSmart Charities of Canada, offering chances for pet lovers to meet adoptable cats.
- Community Adoption Events: At any time during the year, adoption organizations can receive a grant from PetSmart Charities of Canada to help run an adoption event in their community. Whether in a PetSmart store or off-site, an adoption event is a great way to help find forever homes for adoptable pets.
- National Adoption Weekends: 4 times a year, PetSmart Charities of Canada holds national adoption events across the entire country to showcase adoptable pets. These simultaneous events save the lives of nearly 1,000 cats and dogs every year.

For eight years, Evie Rose has managed just fine on her own, running a business and raising her son, Jonah. But when Jonah's father reappears on the scene, she risks losing everything if she can't prove she provides a stable family environment for her son. And fast.
After watching his parents love dissolve in heartache, Declan McCormick is single by choice, and has dedicated his life to helping others. So when the super sexy, fiercely independent, Evie Rose asks for his help, there's no way he can say no.
Especially since she needs him to be her fake fiancée.
After all, anything that means stealing a kiss or two, seems like a good deal.
It's not supposed to be real, but the longer Evie spends with Declan, the closer they get and not only does it start to look real, it also starts to feel more real than anything she's ever felt before. The only problem is, Declan only sees her as a project, just someone else he can help. And when everything starts to unravel, tough decisions have to be made, quickly.
Evie will do anything to keep her son, and the life they've built. Even if it means closing her heart to something she's never felt before. Declan didn't think love was possible, but if he doesn't open his eyes to see what's in front him, he could lose the family he's grown to love—forever.
Meet the rest of the McCormicks with:
Book One- Love in the Moment (Ian & Gwen's Story)
Book Two- Only for the Moment (Mitch & Jade's Story)
Book Three- One More Moment (Cal & Milena's Story)

I have had a couple of customer sites that display
The theme registry has been rebuilt. Turn off this feature on production websites.
And I couldn't seem to disable it. I tried every trick I found on the support pages and still couldn't solve the problem. I could click the checkbox and it wouldn't toggle, and updates to the Zen subtheme didn't make things better.
Here is the real issue: There is a misalignment of the checkbox and enclosing div. Clicking below the checkbox toggles it and, voila, the theme registry is no longer rebuilt.
I am going to try and find the solution to the misalignment, but for now I am just happy that my customers don't have to see that message.
I hope you find this tip useful and that you can spend less time tracking this down than I did.

Here is my roundup of four bags I love for fall and winter.
Celine Leopard Luggage tote, $2,500.
I've read on various blogs that this bag is already sold out everywhere and I can understand why. I love the leopard with the leather.
Mulberry Oversized Alexa, $1,250.
This looks like a bag you'd have forever, one that would improve as it got beat up a little bit.
MZ Wallace Leopard Print Bea, $395.
I've loved MZ Wallace's Bea bags for awhile and here it is combined with a leopard print. Divine!
Longchamp Le Pliage tote, $145.
The bag from this group I'd be most likely to buy. I see this bag all over the place in Manhattan and Brooklyn. What a perfect tote with its nylon fabric and leather handles and accents. It's available in two sizes (this is the large) and a ton of colors. Make mine black.

Fall Bag Lust List

Hi, Jill! Goodness, I love the Mulberry Alexa -- you're right, it's a classic, although Alexa Chung is a young It-Girl sort. Also really liking that Bea bag in the leopard, and I think I'd like the luscious vintagey shape in other colors, too. I'm definitely going to check that style out. I'm wanting a luxurious new bag treat, although my limit is about $200 -- anything more, and I'd worry about it getting snatched from my grocery cart or from a chair at the library!

If I see any great bags in that price range I will be emailing you! MZ Wallace goes on sale, I've seen them on eBay as well. The Bea shape is so beautiful and they produce it every season in different fabrics. I really love it too.

As I pondered what to make for breakfast, this recipe returned to me: German pancakes! If you are interested in a little history on German pancakes, check out here. I love these and they are so easy. They are also called Dutch Baby Pancakes. If you are ambitious and want to impress, make them in a cast iron skillet or use a muffin pan for individual servings.
If you time this just right, you can put them in the oven and then go take a quick shower. When you get out, breakfast is done!!
Here is the recipe:
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 dash salt
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Put 1/4 cup butter into 8x8 or 11x7 inch pan and put into oven until butter is melted and pan is hot.
- Mix all remaining ingredients into blender and blend until foamy.
- Once butter is melted, take pan out of the oven and pour egg mixture into hot pan.
- Return to oven to bake for 15 minutes, or until puffed and brown.
- Serve immediately.
- This is yummy with fruit and whipped cream, or a variety of syrups.
I even sometimes make German pancakes for dinner. My little ones love breakfast for dinner!
If you have breakfast for dinner, what is your preference?
Have a beautiful week!

The birth of a collection – practical support for the creative process
Change the Ending – our collection of flash fiction about the future of public life – was born in October. It was a moment of joy. Despite the hard labour behind the scenes, seeing it grow and develop was fantastic. I loved the creativity and the collaborative process – working with the writers, taking part myself and the basic act doing of it. Write something, publish something and you've made something happen. Who knows what it will become, but it will exist.
The writers in this book are an eclectic bunch who wanted to say different things in different ways, who had differing levels of experience and motivations for writing. Working out who needed what was critical. I'm not someone who has a thousand ideas a day. I have a few ideas (and plenty of random ideas within those ideas) and like to see them through. One of our first-time writers echoed this when he said he wrote his story simply because he said he would. He'd made a commitment, he still had the fear that it might not be any good, but was willing to apply himself. Finishing it was everything. In his case, my job as curator of the project was to sit tight, give him space and, in his own time, he delivered a great story.
There were other people who had important stories to tell, but for various reasons didn't really want to write alone. There are three stories in the book that grew out of intense, inspiring conversations, where we jointly crafted a story based on their ideas and words, using their ways of expressing a feeling and making sense of a situation.
To make the collection happen, we realised we needed not only to tackle writers' fears and show the benefits of the project, but to put in place plenty of practical support. Based on my own experience of what had helped me as a writer, here are some examples of what we did:
* We know that creativity, like many other things in life, requires application, effort, persistence and learning the techniques, so using the structure and tight 350-word constraint of flash fiction helped.
* We provided tips on writing flash fiction and links to other websites to help people get going.
* We ran creative workshops to give people story-telling skills and practical approaches – this was very useful for the project but also their organisations.
* We tailored support for writers depending on need, everything from full collaboration to a light touch – and we were delighted that some stories entered gracefully into the world almost fully formed.
* We enlisted the support of a gifted editor with an approach that supported the writers to tell their own stories in their own way, focusing on flow and technical expertise.
Finally – and it's very much our belief at Shared Press – these are stories that matter. I was very clear about my own intention and, as someone who's worked most of my life in public services, I was emotionally connected to it. That's why the invitation to contribute was to people who care about the subject, who care about changing the ending, and the message to our writers was write what you care about. If you care, readers will understand that and engage with it.
Creativity comes from your own unique perspective or relationship with the world and how you choose to explore that is also unique. The diversity in Change the Ending proves this point and it's what makes the book special. Publishing the collection has meant our writers' stories are out there, being read, and there's an added reward in that readers can hold a beautiful book in their hands.
One of the writers passed the book on to his teenage daughter who read it (yes, really!) and actually talked to him about his job – such a rare thing that he said he went to work feeling anything was possible.
The book has already inspired change in me, to push on and write another town hall thriller. Yes, I know it's not mainstream, but I'm even more motivated to do it after this project. I can only guess at the impact being involved in this project has had on the other writers, but I hope they're proud – they should be – and willing to have another go, or maybe they're now expressing their creativity in other ways, because who knows what other new endings that might open up…

A Homeowner's Guide to Hiring a Painting Contractor
Painting a house may be a difficult task for a simple homeowner like you.
The good news is that there are five steps to consider in finding a painting contractor that does the right job.
These steps will serve as a guide to really hire a painting contractor that is by far excellent and skilled.
1. Where to Start
One of the first five steps to consider is that a painting contractor must have a complete knowledge about the job.
There is a need to further specify the things that need to be done.
Apart from it, he must know anything about the desired finishes, colors and sizes of the space.
2. Ask Questions
The second step is to further ask important questions that may help you with hiring a painting contractor.
There is a need to consider the experience that one has in regard with the job.
Does he acquire the necessary experience needed to be considered as a certified painting contractor?
Is he also insured or licensed?
Always remember that he must fulfill the licensing requirements certifying that he is qualified and is fit on the job.
Apart from it, does he even guarantee a dependable service?
This is important to get the service that is worth the money pay for it.
3. Look for References
The third step is to acquire references from the people around you.
Your family and friends may be familiar with such a painting contractor.
4. Compare Estimates
The fourth step to consider is comparing the estimates.
You need to be completely aware on the estimates of other people.
5. Research the Individual
The fifth step is to mainly search out who will be doing the work. Is it the direct employees or the subcontractors?
If they are the subcontractors, then you must verify their insurance.
For direct employees, they must be fully covered with a contractor policy.
Tips for Making the Right Choice
Furthermore, there is a need to learn more about the signs of respectable and good contractors.
One of the first things to consider is that they must always be busy.
It only means that when they are busy, there are more demands ahead of them mainly due to their dependable service.
Ensure They Are Professional
Apart from it, good contractors are courteous and professional even at meetings.
They must act along with a sense of professionalism to further give good impression to clients.
A sense of professionalism also means of being serious in taking the task at hand.
This only means that you can expect for a good service from them.
Ability to be on Time
Being on time for every appointment is also needed.
Punctuality matters most.
Other than that, being prompt is also important wherein they return to your emails or calls.
Know Their Position
Nevertheless, there is also a need to fully learn about the difference between a foreman and project manager.
Actually, a project manager acts as the single point of entry or point of contact while a foreman supervises the work.
Perform the Job Right
They also handle a thorough and careful preparation of the surface.
They also tend to protect the surrounding areas and clean them up on a regular basis.
On the other hand, they are also professional workers if they maintain a smoke-free worksite.
All of the employees must all be drug tested.
The total satisfaction is also guaranteed such as the job done with utmost satisfaction on homeowners.
They also try to call for feedbacks, either it is positive or negative.

We want to share our good newsWe're proud of it
Some of our clients and associates joined us for an exciting
evening at the Marcliffe to help raise money for Marie Curie Cancer
With our thinking caps on, we embraced the first 4 rounds of
questions with enthusiasm and some unexpected knowledge. The Saucy
Sauces round was particularly good.
But after a very nice meal and a substantial dessert of toffee
flavoured delights, we were all ready for a nap not the remaining
four rounds of gruelling questions, which had most of our party
Needless to say it wasn't our finest hour for general knowledge
but everyone had a great time and we enjoyed the great company.
Third last is a respectable place for first-timers and our
congratulations go to the BP Gold team who topped the leader
The event raised a fantastic £25,600 which will be used to
maintain the home nursing service provided by Marie Curie Nurses in
the North East of Scotland.
Thank you to everyone that joined us.

We all have a few things at home, lying around on a table or shelf, always appearing somewhat 'homeless'. The Iittala Vitriini Boxes offer an excellent solution for storing such items – and furthermore present them attractively. The Vitriini Boxes were designed by glass designer Anu Penttinen who became famous as a glass artist with her Penttinen Birds by Iittala. Her use of colour is particularly impressive.
This led to a colourful collection of small storage boxes that use not only glass, which is typical for Iittala, but also other materials such as wood and aluminium.
The Vitriini Boxes are excellent for storing keys, paperclips, buttons, jewellery or other small accessories. The boxes are also beautiful collector's items and a great gift idea.
The boxes can easily be combined thanks to a variety of boxes in different colours - the possibilities are almost endless.Given all this modernity, Iittala's Vitriini series nonetheless remains true to its long tradition of glass: All glass pieces are hand-blown, which should make any expert happy.

I woke up feeling worse than blah. Defeated, like a wannabe who'll never make it.
Then I discovered my external hard drive, which had rescued my business when my computer started to crash, was in the death throes itself. Waves of discouragement rolled over me as it hit me that my book was on there…and my graphic design stuff…and all those pictures since the twins were born. All John's baby pictures. So much work. Gone. Years of it.
I know there are worse things. Of course. But when you're already down, a thing like that can make it mighty hard to get up again.
Misery Loves Company
I'd recently gotten a book in the mail from a new friend on Instagram. She wrote it and was looking for reviewers.
So in my dejected condition I flopped on the couch to read this true story. I could easily identify with Jessica, the author. Her first child was born about the time I was grieving over our first baby we lost. I remember being at a baby shower around that time and fleeing to the restroom to sob, the pain was so great. The baby celebrated at that shower has always been special to me. He's now a freshman.
Anyway, her story gripped me as she told about being brokenhearted at a baby shower two years later, even though she was pregnant again. Why cry when you're pregnant at a baby shower? Because her baby had been diagnosed with a condition that doctors were sure warranted an abortion. Her baby no.2 was still living, but she had no idea for how long.
As I read her incredible story of wave upon wave of unspeakable pain, my own heartaches settled into perspective. I have eight healthy children. Why was I sad?
Then I read as her stressed husband began having unexplained symptoms. The story took an even darker turn. I began to feel ashamed of my whining. My husband is alive and well.
Then, at her darkest moments, a widow with four littles, one severely handicapped, sunlight broke through the midnight.
I read on and on as the pain of her previous years set the stage for a love story so beautiful, so blessed, it could only be real. No novelist would dare to spin a yarn so incredible.
I'm so thankful to Jessica Ronne for writing this book and for sharing it with me. Her faith, honored by God's breathtaking faithfulness, helped me get through a hard week. Sure enough, God allowed the sunlight to break through my midnight so brilliantly I'm also glad for the pain.
Jess gave me a free copy to share as a giveaway. To win, just leave a comment here or on Facebook sharing a verse that's helped you get through your darkest moments. Here's mine:
In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Isaiah 63:9
Here's a link to Jess's blog. Enjoy!

This track is HOT. David Shields kills it on this track and you should listen to all of it for killer feel. I've arranged a couple of loops because it's so easy to play over and feels awesome.
Joe Tex - I Gotcha
A fat nasty groovy tune that a friend of mine showed me. I could play over this for days.
Alicia Keys - Streets of New York
This CD has been in my car for ages, and I wanted to find something to jam with. This is just a funky minor groove with vocals happening and a heavy drum groove.
The Beatles - Oh Darlin'
Found a drum iso from this track and loved the thick compressed beat. Nice and slow 12/8 groove.
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
The drum beat from Billie Jean playing forever. Our innermost dream revealed.
Jeff Porcaro – Shuffles
A few beats I lifted off of his instructional video. His playing is so incredible, makes practicing grooves so easy. Also reveals your inadequacies as a bassist REAL fast.
Booker T and the MG's – Hip Hug Her
Taken from the beginning of the track, just to make a funky Bb7(#9) bluesy track to play to. Included a slowed down version if you want it a bit greasier.
Corey Henry – Blazin!!
Taken from the Corey Henry - Blazin!! video while transcribing. Good half time groove with a bit of harmonic motion, plus a guy saying "not too loud", for the vibe.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique that incorporates bilateral stimulation to help people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Repeated studies show that by using EMDR, people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference. It is widely assumed that severe emotional pain requires a long time to heal. EMDR therapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. When you cut your hand, your body works to close the wound. If a foreign object or repeated injury irritates the wound, it festers and causes pain. Once the block is removed, healing resumes. EMDR therapy demonstrates that a similar sequence of events occurs with mental processes. The brain's information processing system naturally moves toward mental health. If the system is blocked or imbalanced by the impact of a disturbing event, the emotional wound festers and can causes intense suffering. EMDR helps the brain reprocess past traumatic experiences, in effect removing the emotional blockage and allowing the emotional healing to resume.
