So a few people have made the Frijoles de Olla recipe and each one has told me there's "too much water".
Of course since I believe I am perfect, I assured them "No, they're supposed to be soupy!"
And my mom insisted hers were too watery. And I told her "No, they're SOUPY beans! You're supposed to eat broth with them!"
And she said "You should add just a little bit of lard to them because THAT would make them ..."
And I said "NO IT DOESN'T NEED THE LARD! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID WRONG BUT THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH WATER!"
And she went on and on and on forever insisting she was right.
And wouldn't shut up about it.
So I thought about recipe, checked it again, and realized that OH MY GOD I AM AN IDIOT!
The water should be 8 cups NOT 12 CUPS! I already modified the original post so this doesn't happen again. That is to say, so my mother won't nag me about this recipe again.
But, uh, I'm sorry about that guys.
So, um, you might want to try making them again .. this time the way they're meant to be enjoyed.
Far, far away from the "I knew I was right" smirk on my mom's face.

Per your previous "judging at the Oscars" post, which dress was your favorite? I vote for Marisa Tomei. The pleats? To die for. And is it just me, or are Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer trying too hard?

I agree - she was GORGEOUS! Also, hated Kate Winslet's hair, also hated Reece Witherspoon's dress (does she weigh 400 lbs now or something?) and I would like to OFFICIALLY invite you to join the Team Aniston I co-chair with my friend Kim. Our mission statement involves eventually seeing to it that Jen marries Luke Wilson. We are convinced they are soulmates.

Kirsten Dunst at Bachelorette Premiere in LA
The Bachelorette Starlets Put a Glam Spin on Red, White, and Blue
Last night's red carpet showdown at the Bachelorette LA premiere proved quite the Americana-hued affair. Let's recap: Isla Fisher stepped out in a sexy red lace Reem Acra number, pairing it with nude satin Sergio Rossi pumps and minimalist Bulgari jewelry. Lizzy Caplan went the ultra-curve-hugging route with a white corseted Dolce & Gabbana sheath and sleek gold sandals, while Ali Larter struck a particularly retro note with her navy-striped ensemble. Kirsten Dunst's Jean Paul Gaultier dress not only made us swoon with its perfect shade of cobalt blue, but it also kept our attention with its subtle trench-coat-inspired button detailing and soft neckline-adorned ruffles. Her studded Chloé bag and classic Rolex watch added just enough intrigue to keep the outfit daring. With a star-spangled lineup of Bachelorette looks to choose from, which starlet gets your best-dressed vote?

ENCINITAS — Several restaurant owners and a group representing downtown business interests asked City Council to support outdoor alcohol service. While the council discussed the pros and cons of such actions during the Sept. 24 meeting, it directed staff to research the matter further.
The biggest hurdle is the encroachment on public sidewalks. Under the state's Alcoholic Beverage Control regulations, outdoor dining areas that serve alcohol must be separated from the public sidewalk by a permanent barrier-railings, fences or landscaped planter boxes. The federal Americans with Disabilities Act requires accessibility of public areas to those with disabilities. The narrow downtown sidewalks may not meet the federal threshold of 48-inches of space between the dining area and the curb according to the council.
"I'm not against serving alcohol outside a restaurant," Encinitas resident Cheryl Perkins said. "I just don't want a situation where I can't navigate the sidewalk in my chair." Perkins, who is wheelchair-bound, said the permanent railings at Vigilucci's Trattoria, at the corner of Coast Highway 101 and D Street pose a problem for her. "I always have to cross the street to avoid the area," she said.
Vigilucci's and Roxy were grandfathered in after the council restricted downtown outdoor alcohol service in 2002. Apparently, staffers mistakenly allowed the two restaurants to erect permanent barriers on public right-of-ways.
For some area business owners the decision is purely economic. In a July rally, Via Italia owner Paolo Pedrazzani told a crowd that he has been attempting to get permission to sell wine at the few tables outside of his restaurant. Pedrazzani claimed that his sales were 20 percent lower than other restaurants allowed to sell alcohol outdoors.
City Council candidate Bob Nanninga said he was pleased to have the topic up for discussion. The co-owner of E Street Café said it was an issue of fairness and equity. "This is really about our downtown businesses being able to realize their full economic potential," he said.
According to staff, 18 restaurants have sidewalk dining in the public right-of-way within the downtown area with 17 obtaining encroachment permits. The permit fee costs $150.
Gary Tucker, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, said that the playing field should be level with restaurants in Del Mar, Solana Beach and other cities allowing outdoor alcohol service.
Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident George Hadar said he was concerned with the encroachment on the public sidewalk. "Give a table and they'll take a sidewalk," he told the council.
Daniel Schaffer, manager of When in Rome, said the "visibility" of outdoor dining was crucial to increased business traffic. "Whether in good times or bad, every chair makes a difference," he said.

Finally! A new knitting pattern is here!
Let me introduce you to Ondée, a classical rectangular scarf knit with a twist!
In French, Ondée refers to a rain shower. The one you get caught in on a summer evening after a warm and sunny day.
I have always felt that water can be such a mesmerizing element. Whether it's ocean waves crashing on a sandy beach or the sound of rain drops on a window, it's just one of those thing that soothes and relaxes you, just like knitting does. Inspired by this feeling of tranquil meditation, this scarf will bring you warmth and peace of mind the whole way through.
The yarn is the beautiful and sooo soft Kaya Yarn Lilly. Dyed by Jana from Kaya Lana, knitting with this yarn is an exquisite experience. Composed of wool, silk and SeaCell, this blend is a joy to work with and it's supposed to have amazing properties. The SeaCell fiber comes from seaweed and apparently has great effect on your skin. I've not worn my scarf enough to confirm this, but in any case, it's so soft and shiny, I already love it!
And just to give you a glimpse of what this scarf would look like in the other amazing colours Jana has in her shop, here's two beautiful test knits done by Judy and Jana herself.
This pattern is perfect for the advanced beginner that wants to try out lace knitting. With lots of help included and easy to follow instructions, you'll knit Ondée in a breeze.
The thing that makes this pattern special is that while it's a rectangular scarf, it's in fact knit in diagonal.
You start by casting on a small number of stitches and increasing them until you reach the final width, creating a small triangle. Then by decreasing and increasing on each sides, you'll magically create a diagonal lace pattern. So cool!
I hope you'll enjoy knitting this pattern! It's now available for a week on Ravelry with an introductory price -20%, so grab yours will it lasts!
And don't forget that I love seing what you all do with this scarf! Share your pictures on Ravelry or tag me (@stitchnsmile) so I can see your Ondée on Instagram!

My grandmother uses Ideal Healthcare Services for services needed for our grandfather. We actually switched from another agency to go to Ideal Healthcare Services. The staff is always dependable, and on time. These are companion services that go over and above anything that we could have ever imagined.Pamela Childress,
My mother passed away last week and I want to give you my sincere thanks for recommending the assistance of Ideal Healthcare Services. The staff has been both efficient and responsible. What saved my sanity as a caregiver, however, wasn't their professionalism, but their honest compassion and care for my mother's well-being. She was in severe pain those last days, and suddenly having extra sisters was such a gift.Janine Maves,

Dear Annie: What is the etiquette with handicapped stalls in restrooms? When I go into a public restroom and there are multiple stalls to choose from, I like to go with the handicapped one because it's roomier. I imagine that many other people do, too. Is that wrong? If I ever saw someone with a handicap, I would of course yield to that person, but that hardly ever happens. Also, when taking the train, if the car is crowded but the seats reserved for disabled people and seniors are open, is it OK to sit there? -- Not Sure in Norfolk
Dear Not Sure: Err on the side of courtesy. If there are multiple stalls to choose from, always opt for a non-handicapped stall. You never know when someone who needs the handicapped stall will enter. If the handicapped stall is the only one open, I think it's reasonable to use it. However, if someone behind you in line has a disability, let that person cut ahead of you to take that stall.
As for the train, always leave those seats open. Not all disabilities are obvious, and you shouldn't put someone in the position of having to ask you to get up.
Dear Readers: Not long ago, I printed a letter from "Sitting Around," a woman who had recently lost her job after many years but was unable to find a new one because of a disability. She was experiencing a sense of inertia. I heard from many readers with additional insights for "Sitting Around." The following letters have practical tips that are worth printing, as they also may help others.
MARGARET B.: "Sitting Around" made reference to being rejected twice for "government help" but not being disabled enough to receive it. She didn't specify whether she had applied for Social Security Disability Insurance, but even if she isn't eligible for that, she should look into her state's vocational rehabilitation program, which falls under her state education department.
Her doctor could provide documentation to show the extent of her disability and prove her eligibility for VR services. If she were to be accepted in the program, a VR counselor would be assigned to work with her to determine her interests, skills and career goals. She might be eligible for job training or other educational services to improve her skills and job prospects.
SHARON: You left out a major component in your answer to "Sitting Around." She needs to get her doctor to do a complete thyroid blood panel. Women in their 40s may be going through premenopausal symptoms, and antidepressants can sometimes contribute to an alteration of the thyroid. Please tell her immediately to request those tests, or she might continue to suffer, because some doctors don't look at anything unless you tell them. I suffered for 20 years and don't want anyone else to.
DEB Q.: Please tell "Sitting Around" to get a full medical checkup -- including a complete blood count and tests for her levels of vitamin D and vitamin B-12 -- along with the mental health checkup. I'd also encourage her to review her diet, to get some fresh air every day and to make a list of a few things to do. And she should do the things on the list before allowing herself a reward. When I get a bit depressed, I clean something. It takes my mind off things while I accomplish stuff. Now would be a great time for "Sitting Around" to declutter, while she is not employed and has some down time. And I also encourage her to help others. I'm retired, but I still help the elderly.

Dude - my two favorite pants right now are my gold skinnies that I got a few weeks ago, and my camo skinnies from Zara that I got last week (and am wearing in today's post). Love. Them. Both. As far as I'm concerned, you can't get enough camo and metallic for fall, but that's just me. And you. And apparently, a whole bunch of other WAY COOL people too.

I have to say I am quite unenthousiastic about the trending trends for Fall: leather? for the umpteenth time? black? too much. Cameo? Not really me. I like the metallic and the brocade, though, sort of mixture between Dandyism & renaissance

Every summer tapas meal needs Salpicon de Marisco (seafood salad) and it was a must have at our dinner as well. Since we were designing a menu highlighting the similarities between Korean and Spanish foods, we chose this version from northwestern Spain. It had all the things Korean's love like octopus, pickles, and onions in one beautiful dish plus olives, one of the few imported ingredients we allowed ourselves.
Let's be honest, this recipe sounds really weird, yet there weren't any big issues making it because the core ingredients were the same between countries. Of course, we still had our doubts about how this would turn out out since it's a delicately flavored dish and we were changing the light ingredients that add the melody which make the core ingredients work together. Thankfully, everything came together from the pear vinegar to the pine nut oil. Even the sweet pickles found the perfect home next to bacon stuffed green olives. The salad was delicate, yet rich in balanced, diverse flavors.
1 lb fresh boiled octopus
1.5 lbs fresh boiled shrimp
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 yellow bell pepper
1/2 finely chopped sweet onion
2 medium sized sweet pickles
two handfuls pitted stuffed green olives of your choice
Pear vinegar
Pine Nut oil or Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sea Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste (optional)
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add octopus. Let it boil until easily cut with scissors. That's right, when it's done it easily cuts and is no longer rubbery. After it's finished cooking cut it up into small bite size pieces.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add whole shrimp. Cook 3-5 minutes or until firm and fully pink. Clean the shrimp and - if medium or large size) cut in half or thirds.
Dice up the onion, bell peppers, pickles and olives.
Toss everything together in a bowl with oil, sea salt, vinegar, and a little pepper.
Toss everything together in a bowl with oil, sea salt, vinegar, and a little pepper.

S: Aztecs Mays and Incas
BC: Aztecs are unique and here is their story.
FC: Aztec Government and Social Classes By M ryan
1: The Aztecs believed that a white god would come back. Cortes was a Spanish Christian but looked white. So they believed that Cortes was there God coming back. So they worshiped him and so he lived in there kingdom for a while so they trusted him and they let him bring his army. So he ambushed them because they believed in manny gods | Aztec government became rich and powerful because the ruler got money and gold for his respect from the people that called him King. The King made a paved road so that they would be able to travel and trade more often then if he didn't.
2: The Tlatoani and his Advisers | The Tlatoani and his Advisers are on the top of the social classes to us he would be like our president. The tlatoani was the religious leader, he was a huge part in their ceremony. He was the army officer and he often went with them to war.
3: The next class, Commoners and Calpolli contained fisher men and others. There had to be twenty people or more in each house. They sent there children to a local school. Commoners very rarely became nobles, but one way they could was to be brave. The second way you could was that you capture a large number of enemies. | Commoners and Calpolli
4: Soldiers and Warfare | Warfare was a vital part of Aztec life because they would have war and they would kill people for their region and give their bodies as a sacrifice to their gods. The main reason the Aztecs would fight was to surrender there army by teasing them or even mock them. They would line up in a row across the battle field.Most of the men had served. The boys started to train at school and when they were ten they had to shave their heads and when they began there training they would grow a lock of hear and they couldn't cut off their lock of hear tell they were capture. The Aztec solders wanted the people that they captured alive so they had weapons designed so they would wound them.
5: Merchants | The Merchants were rich and didn't think that they should tell anyone about the stuff they had gotten. They would get raw materials from other states. They were in a dangerous position because they would be riding in a caravan (a group of people traveling together for safety.) They often would get robed or even enemy soldiers might attack a caravan. The Aztecs didn't have any horses so they had to walk place to place. The Merchants were like spies to they could pass the border during war so there master the Tatoani would pay them go to the other side and get information for him. For example someone special like a leader that means much to them.
6: Farmers | Most Aztec farmers didn't have much land. So they used different methods instead. There were different areas on the slopes the soil was soft and in the lower areas there wasn't enough water, so the farmers would dig big ditches to get water from the river. The farmers even grew crops on the water. They would weave a raft and cover it with dirt and then plant their seeds. This would float on water and the roots would grow to the water.
7: Aztec Men and Women Roles | The Men were in charge of the household and worked outside for most of the day. They also went to war and made the decisions. The Women worked inside the home took care of their children, swept the floors, and spent the most of their time smashing corn to make tortillas and other foods. They were respected by having children and raising their families.
8: Slaves | There were different ways to become a slave. If you were captured in a war you became a slave. If you were poor or needed to pay off a debt you became a slave. Slaves from beaten tribes were also handed over to Aztec rulers as slaves.
9: Another way to become a slave is if did crimes against the leader, if you stole, or if you kidnapped someone . Once you were a slave you might be sacrificed to their Gods or be a working slave. If you worked as a slave the men worked outside in the fields or inside as a servant. The women worked in clothing and cooked. Some slaves did have rights. They could own land or marry someone free. If you were born and had one parent as a slave and one that is not then you were free. If you went into slavery because of debt you could buy yourself out if you saved enough money. Sometime the ruler would set you free or if your master died you could be free.

Death Canyon Trailhead - Search Nearby - Added by IdleTheoryBus
Enjoy epic cliff jumping with equally as great scenery! It's a moderate hike to one of the best swimming holes in the Tetons.
Don't look down! You're about to cliff jump 40 feet from a granite boulder into a lake cold with Glacier runoff. This short and beautiful hike, with a four hundred foot climb, will lead you to our favorite summertime activity…jumping and swimming!
If you park at the Preserve trailhead, plan to get there early during summer months; the lot fills up fast. Using this trail the hike is flat out to Phelps Lake. When you reach the lake take a right in a north eastern direction and in a mile or so you will reach the jumping rock.
The insider/adventurous way to go is to park by the trailhead for Death Canyon. This trailhead is #12 on the paper park map. Down the dirt road there is unlimited parking, a major plus. Just don't drive too far down the road; it becomes four wheel drive in a very obvious way. On this alternate entrance you will hike up 450 feet to Phelps Lake Overlook for a fantastic view down on the lake. Hike down the other side of the overlook and take a left south eastward around the lake to reach the jumping rock. This direction is a bit more strenuous but it is the way to go if you prefer quiet hikes.
The jumping rock is on the east side of the lake, and is visible from most open sections of its circumference. Its backdrop, looking north west into Death Canyon, is simply majestic. Likely, you will hear the screams of others taking the plunge as you near the water. Follow them to the adventure.
The top of the rock is wide enough for small groups of people to hang out, sun, and watch others leap. Be considerate of others on busy days and don't occupy the space the entire afternoon.
In the Tetons, you must be bear aware. There are often black bears and grizzlies around the lake. Bear spray is recommended by the rangers, and we did see a bit of scat. Make sure to bring some food, maybe an adult beverage. Kids love this place; they'll take the plunge over and over. You should too; as today's deep philosophers put it, YOLO.

Make it a day
You can spend a whole day here. Bring some lunch, and hang out on the rock for hours. Pro tip: If you're going to try to flip, time it right; otherwise a painful, painful belly flop is in store.
over 2 years ago
must do
This is a great afternoon adventure.. bring a couple inter-tubes to chill on in the water after you get your fix of jumping off the boulders.
over 2 years ago
Great opportunity to get the adrenaline pumping. Great for beginners but fun for all, just jump far and you'll be grand. Went on Memorial Day and the waters cold but bearable. Just make sure you park at the Preserve or you'll have a 6 mile one way hike through back country to get to the hike. We did a 16 mile loop but know that that's not for everyone. Also be aware on the long trail there's still plenty of snow and fallen trees so it's hard to find the trail at times. Great spot though!

Jaco Transfer and its three co-founders including CEO Loic Jasmin are changing the Haiti food transfer and remittance industry. In addition to offering the traditional staples offered by its competitors, the fledgling startup has staked out other markets ignored or underestimated by older competitors. Jaco Transfer sells motor scooters for example? Motor scooters? Yes! But what does this have to do with helping folks in Haiti? Um, plenty, and rather clever thinking. Family members wanting for male relatives to have economic autonomy can order a scooter and have it home-delivered to said relative to start a motor scooter taxi company. The company also offers home goods. So if a client would like to help a relative in Haiti set up a home goods business in Haiti, the he or she can order everything in bulk to send to said relatives. And Jaco Transfer doesn't stop there. It offers electronics…so if you have a relative who'd to be spoiled with an HDTV…well…there you go! Other electronic products offered by the company include refrigerators, stoves, mobile phones, pedestal fans for those heat waves, and even blenders.
One of the reasons why the company is thriving is because Jasmin and his three twenty-something co-owners are bringing not just new products, but new tactics. They no doubt realize that the Haitian immigrants who arrived in the United States in the 1970s and through the 1990s are reaching retirement age. Their USA-born and Canada-born and raised children are taking over or assisting them with some of their responsibilities which of course includes remittances. Members of this younger generation may not live where there is a transfer money office, but they do have access to the internet. This is where Jaco Transfer comes in. The company's website makes it easy for users to log on and order. And then there are all these Web 3.0 and Web 4.0 strategies that the other older companies have not taken advantage of in the way the Jaco Transfer team has. Jaco Transfer sends out newsletters to existing customers and makes a point to send coupons regularly, an incentive traditional Haiti food transfer companies do not generally offer. The company is hyper-active on social media, a platform neglected and under-used by most of the other Haiti transfer and remittance companies.
Follow along as Jasmin answers more of my questions about Jaco Transfer.
Kreyolicious: What milestones accomplished by Jaco Transfer thus far that makes you especially proud?
Jaco Transfer: I think our biggest accomplishment at Jaco so far is to have created a community of Haitian online shoppers that love our service. Getting people who had been sending transfers to Haiti in retail locations to switch to online transfers is no small feat! On top of that, many of the people who try Jaco out are shopping online for the first time. We try to surpass our customers' expectations to create a community of happy users. I think we've been successful in doing that. Those same customers who were shopping online for the first time are now effortlessly placing orders every few weeks! I think that's our biggest accomplishment.
Kreyolicious: Where do you see Jaco Transfer five years from now?
Jaco Transfer: Five years from now Jaco Transfer will without a doubt be a top player in the Haitian remittance industry. We plan on using Jaco to have a positive impact on Haiti. The Diaspora is one of our biggest assets as a nation and should be given the opportunity to participate directly in strengthening our economy and bettering our country as a whole. That's Jaco's mission, and I'm confident we'll make it happen.
This concludes PART II of the interview with Mr. Jasmin of Jaco Transfer. Be sure to watch out for PART I and PART II of the interview with him. Meanwhile, don't keep your those relatives in Haiti waiting for that diri, pwa and somon!

You've been thinking about an open store remodel for months, maybe years, but worry that dust, noise, and chaos will drive customers away and negatively impact your bottom line. You delay and delay again, struggling in a space you've outgrown or that no longer serves your needs. Sound familiar? It does to us. We hear these concerns all the time.
While open store remodels aren't invisible, disruption can be kept to a minimum by following a few proven best practices. Whether your "store" is retail or a restaurant, bank branch, or other facility, business doesn't have to slow to a frustrating crawl. Everyone on site can stay safe, and your project can move forward on track and on time with your revenue stream intact.
To explore these best practices, we recently sat down with some of EMG's open store remodel experts. With decades of collective experience overseeing thousands of projects, Chris Varney, Tracy Follmer, and Eric Berger understand how to balance the need to remodel with the need to conduct business as usual. Here's what they recommend:

Goal Setting For Young adults Sets the Foundation with regard to Adulthood
Goal setting is an activity that can virtually change lives. As grownups, we can certainly discover proper goal setting techniques. However, if it is learned years earlier, goal setting for young adults can become an ingrained practice and set the foundation for any fruitful and productive adult life.
Goal setting regarding teens begins with the actual whys of goal setting. Young adults tend not to look further than this weekend's get together. Long-term thinking consists of counting down the days until summer vacation. One of the best approaches to communicate the importance of setting goals for teens can be a quote from goal-meister Zig Ziglar: \"When you are doing what you have to do if you should do them, enough time will come when you can carry out what you want to do when you need to do them.\"
Think about that: teenagers want to party, goof off, and hang by helping cover their friends. For many, university is secondary. But if they do well in college and can achieve their goals, the time will come when they can party, goof away, and hang out with pals all they want, sometimes sooner than they think.
Goal setting for teens doesn't always have to be earth-shattering. It can be as small as earning an \"A\" on the next math test. Have him or the girl write down the goal – \"I will score 90% in my mathematics exam about March 1, 2006.\" Then ask them how it is going to take to earn 90%. For example, if the analyze is on certain algebra formulas, they can exercise those formulas until they know it chilly. Once test moment comes around, they will have the particular confidence to earn at least an \"A\" on the exam. If and when they carry out score that 90, they will develop the confidence to set larger and larger goals. They can set a goal to earn an \"A\" for the session in math. If they are more ambitious, they could set a goal with regard to straight A's for the entire university year.
Once young adults get into the habit regarding setting and achieving goals, the sky is the limit. These are skills they are able to bring into adulthood, and they'll know exactly what they need to complete to succeed.

This is My Story
I started this website after I realized I wasn't the only one.
I wasn't the only one feeling 'burned out' doing something I thought was my passion.
I wasn't the only one feeling panic that my time here on this planet was running out without me having accomplished what I felt like I was sent here to do. And that feeling, that knowing that I was somehow on the wrong career path fed into my doubts, fueled stress, and stole the enjoyment from continuing to show up every day to do the work that I thought I was destined to do.
I wasn't the only one worried about chronic health issues interfering with my future independence and mobility–and I was beginning to feel the effects of the stress in my life tearing the hinges of my health apart. The all-too-real fear of developing a chronic, debilitating medical condition fed the stress and worry cycle. I was on a downward spiral health-wise.
I thought I was the only one to experience these feelings. But I was wrong. As I gained the courage to talk about what I was going through, I found that a lot of women were experiencing feelings of fear, 'burn-out', running out of time without feeling fulfilled, and beginning to develop symptoms of chronic health issues due to stress. That last one, health challenges from what I call 'Lifestyle Disease', I determined that I would make better choices so Lifestyle Disease would NOT become a part of my future.
I'm Dr. Melissa Brown, a successful pediatric practitioner for over 25 years. Yet I left my pediatric practice in 2009 and started a journey to become my own best patient. I sampled various complementary and holistic healing modalities and educated myself on best practices for self-care.
Along the way, I tapped into my life's purpose–helping to guide other women who want to reverse the effects of fear, stress, and overwhelm in their lives. Helping women design a life that optimizes their health and allows them to remain independent, mobile, functional and free of pain. Free to check off all the adventures and experiences on their Life List. Helping women live a more satisfied, happier life with a knowing that they are tapping into their inner wisdom. A more fulfilling life, living the purpose that they were meant to achieve.
For those who struggle with all the things I felt and think you're the only one, know this: You are not alone. We have a community of empowered women right here. A community for you if you want to upgrade your life, remain healthy or break the chains of a chronic illness (it can be done!). A community here for you if you want to dial in happiness and tap into your inner wisdom and fulfill your life purpose.
If that sounds like you, then you're in the right place here. Your peeps are here and I've got your back, too. Welcome home!
Connect with me on social media using the icons at the bottom, too. I love making new friends!

Amtrak conductors will soon be upgrading from hole punchers to iPhones, reports the New York Times.
By late summer, 1,700 conductors around the country will scan ticket barcodes using Apple hardware instead of punching holes in them.
Customers don't even need to print their tickets. If they can pull up the barcode on a smartphone, conductors can scan it on the phone's screen.
We're reminded of how many airlines are switching out loads of paper flight documentation and having pilots carry around iPads instead.

Fortnum & Mason has appointed David Mold, a seasoned retail IT expert, as its first CIO.
Mold started at the luxury London department store last month. Until then, he had been director of IT and logistics at womenswear retailer Whistles for four years, where he was responsible for IT and supply chain.
"This new position demonstrates mine and the board's belief in technology as we look to the next 300 years of Fortnum & Mason," Fortnum & Mason chief executive Ewan Venters told Retail Week.
"We need to be on the edge of technology and modernisation."
Mold has extensive experience in the retail industry, with his 26-year career spanning roles at Aurora Fashions (which includes high street brands Karen Millen, Coast, Oasis and Warehouse), Rubicon Retail, where he was head of business systems for brands such as Principles and Racing Green and Arcadia Group. He began his career as business systems analyst at Debenhams in 1988.
Whistles has yet to appoint a replacement IT director.
In December 2011, Fortnum & Mason suffered an IT glitch that prevented the company from delivering its luxury hampers - which cost up to £5,000 - in time to customers for Christmas.
It blamed the IT failure on the technical complications related to an IT systems upgrade and a three-fold increase in online transactions compared with the previous year.
A month later, the retailer came under fire for asking a customer to email their full credit card details in order to get a refund after the delivery glitch.
Although the request contravened the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) for protecting confidential data, Fortnum & Mason insisted it did comply fully with the standard.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Zara' tag.
There's something about being within the virtual realm of the blogersphere that makes you feel connected to people that you don't even know. Instantaneously, you have the liver to proclaim "Oh I love your outfit" or ask "where did you get that ?", without a glimpse of hesitation. We thought we would make the most of this new virtual boldness and ask to meet up with the creative mastermind behind the most beautiful blog in the blogersphere.
1500hours, Sketch on Conduit street, Olivia of My New Favourite Thing strides towards us 'Wang' in hand and perfectly groomed. She's a total knockout ! It was so refreshing to meet Olivia in person, naturally effervescent and of course stylish in every way. Although we had questions lined up to ask Olivia, the natural flow of our conversation overrode the clichéd structure of an interview hence we have tried to capture the essence of our gabfest in a structured form, for your reading pleasure.
SBQ: Why did you start your blog?
OP: At the time I was working for a well-known magazine, which folded. I was made redundant. As a writer, I had all these thoughts and ideas and I really needed a place to channel them. That's how the blog came about. It's only been in the last six months that I have really begun to go for it. Ultimately, it takes a lot more time to put together a post than people think. Simply because if you are a good writer you want to put your best work out there. Work and life in general keeps me so busy that I don't get as much time to blog as I would like. I always seem to get a case of blogger's guilt.
SBQ: What makes you want to keep blogging?
OP: I really enjoy the blogersphere as a whole. It's surprisingly a really positive, friendly and supportive environment. Where people are really keen to help and encourage each other. To me it's kind of like a refuge, especially when i've had a bad day or a tough run at work. Its so refreshing to come home and read such kind words, from people whom you don't even know. Ultimately I'm really nosy, I love looking at what's in people's bags and what they get up to in their lives. I always have fashion in my head and it is a really big part of my life.
SBQ: Who are your style icons?
OP: Miroslava duma, of Russian Harpers Bazaar is absolutely amazing. She has the ability to pull of different looks with such ease, without looking too contrived. She has this great doll like figure but not too skinny, so everything looks great on her. Yep, she definitely has incredible style. The Olsen twins just look fab. They have perfected the downtown New York shabby chic look, which for most is difficult to pull of and most of us probably couldn't because we don't have 'Olsen-cash' to back it up. Oh and Chole Sevigny, she can pull off a variety of different styles and outfits, another great style icon. Having said that, Fashion and dressing up should always be fun and you shouldn't be afraid to experiment, Miroslava does this really well. The real style icons are the people living and working in london and of course the bloggers. It's more inspiring when you see a real person with impeccable style looking absolutely amazing. London is full of people with great style and great wardrobes. Although, I have to say I am not a big fan of the whole 'Shoreditch' look. Britain's high-street is the best in the world.
SBQ: What is your ultimate bag ?
OP: It would have to be the Chanel 2.55 in black . The Birkin is another great bag but it is definitely a bag that you have to graduate to. There's no point in having a Birkin, if you don't have the wardrobe to match it, because ultimately if you don't – the bag will look like a fake.
SBQ: What do plan to buy next?
OP: Ashish "Same old Chic" T-shirt, absolutely stunning Sass and Bide Tank, Matthew Williams tribal scarf, khaki belted culottes from Zara and a pair of classic ballet pumps.
We had such a lovely lunch, If I lived closer, Sketch would be an extension of my living room . I wish you were all there for our girly confab, you name it we spoke about it! We even talked about our school days. Ironically Olivia and I (Tobi) actually went to the same school but I was too busy trying to work out how to make the school kilt into some sort of McQueen inspired designed, whilst Olivia was plotting her break through into the fashion world.
We can't thank Olivia, fashion writer and blogger extraordinaire enough for coming to meet us, her Blog is a must click. Here are the rest of the pictures from our gathering.
Tobi – Zara shorts, H&M vest, Zara bag, RayBan Aviators, H&M Sandals
Kike – Topshop leggings, Zara blouse, Missoni bag, Giant Vintage sunglasses

The Queens,
Believe it or not this outfit is the product of throwing all of my clothes onto my floor and screaming "I have nothing to wear!" Since graduating last year and starting Law school, I go out less and less. Going on a night out has become somewhat of an infrequent fantasy. All my "going out clothes" from my university years no longer fit me or match the woman I believe I'm becoming. Hence, I literally threw on an oversized t-shirt from H&M's trend label and paired it with a skinny belt and voila! The bag is an absolute gem, and was a gift from my sister . If you're outside london Cow Vintage is one of the best vintage stores I have ever stepped into, I thoroughly recommend it. I took these pictures a while ago and it seems strange looking back on them now because I've changed my hair (again!) its a lot shorter and I now have a blonde streak in it, I must have woken up thinking I was Rihanna! I hope to show you in coming posts. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.

Wet Hair - The Floating World
- by Joseph Majsterski Release Date:2017-06-16 Label: Wharf Cat Records
Sometimes in life, you'll just be trudging along, your feet dragging, your spirits low, when out of nowhere a sublimely refreshing piece of aural joy pops into your ears. Such is the case with The Floating World, an extremely polished work by veteran genre-defiers Wet Hair. Perfecting their ability to blend grimy garage sounds with beautiful synthwork, taking a trip back to 60s psych via early 2000s indie, the band is at the top of their game here.
A lot of the music is both hard-charging and remarkably laid back. The pulsing guitars and pounding drums contrast nicely with the whimsical key melodies, like the band is in a hurry to go nowhere in particular. This is particularly evident on the first two tracks, 'Dear Danae' and 'Lift the Stone'. The former leans more towards psych with its tambourine and organ, and features a supremely mellow guitar/bass combo, while the latter is a bit more modern sounding, somewhere in the neighborhood of Built to Spill, with the rhythm section coming across more forcefully and strongly undergirding the twisting key melodies.
'Endless Procession' feels like a Boards of Canada track during its intro, and takes its time doing a slow build to its nougatty center, a delicious piece of moody electro alt-pop that's somewhere between Apples in Stereo and the Cure. The vocals are fed through light distortion, giving them a distant feel. And processed vocals are something that run through many of the tracks, with a lot of variety to the specific way they're modified, which helps add interesting textures.
There's more melodic twisting layered with jangly guitars in 'Black Paint', which calls to mind a lot of the stuff Beck did on his 1996 masterpiece Odelay. 'Revealed' is perhaps the most straightforward tune, with the vocals and keys spiraling around each as the soar over the rest of the song.
Things take a playful turn towards the end of the set, with 'Through the Night' bouncing along like an out of control clown car, with the drums tumbling all over themselves as the rest of the instruments go extremely staccato and pepper across the track wildly. It's almost as though the band gets exhausted and has to cool down at the end of the song too. Finally, 'Ice Cream' is a cute little outro, more of a spoken word piece with light musical accompaniment than a full song. Its sweetness is belied by the grim lyrics, however.
This is a relatively short album, clocking in at only thirty-five minutes with just seven songs, but it punches above its weight class, with plenty of memorable hooks to liven things up. Anyone interested in music situated at the crossroads of a few different musical traditions should enjoy this set.

Grabovo, Ukraine: A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with 298 people aboard exploded, crashed and burned on a flowered wheat field Thursday in a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by pro-Russia separatists, blown out of the sky at 33,000 feet by what Ukrainian and U.S. officials described as a Russian-made anti-aircraft missile. (Watch: MH17 Went Up in Flames on Crashing ) | (See Pics)
Ukraine accused the separatists of carrying out what it called a terrorist attack.
U.S. intelligence and military officials said the plane had been destroyed by a Russian SA-series missile, based on surveillance satellite data that showed the final trajectory and impact of the missile but not its point of origin. (Rebel Site Suggests Insurgents Shot Down Malaysia Plane by Mistake)
There were strong indications that those responsible may have errantly downed what they had thought was a military aircraft only to discover, to their shock, that they had struck a civilian airliner. Everyone aboard was killed, their corpses littered among wreckage that was still smoldering late into the summer night. ( Ukraine Releases Chilling Conversation Between Rebels After Crash )
Russia's president, Vladimir V. Putin, blamed Ukraine's government for, he said, creating the conditions for the insurgency in eastern Ukraine, where separatists have bragged about shooting down at least three Ukrainian military aircraft. But Putin did not specifically deny that a Russian-made weapon had felled the Malaysian jetliner. (Malaysian Investigation Team on Way to Ukraine: PM Najib Razak)
Whatever the cause, the news of the crashed plane, with a passenger manifest that spanned at least nine countries, elevated the insurgency into a new international crisis. The day before, the U.S. had slapped new sanctions on Russia for its support of the pro-Kremlin insurgency that has brought East-West relations to their lowest point in many years.
Making the crash even more of a shock, it was the second time within months that Malaysia Airlines had suffered a mass-casualty flight disaster with international intrigue - and with the same model plane, a Boeing 777-200ER. (For Malaysia Airlines, Disaster Strikes Twice)
Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia - whose government is still reeling from the unexplained disappearance of Flight 370 in March, somewhere over the Indian Ocean - said he was stupefied at the news of Flight 17, which had been bound for Kuala Lumpur from Amsterdam with 283 passengers, including three infants, and 15 crew members.
Aviation officials said the aircraft had been traveling an approved and heavily trafficked route over eastern Ukraine, about 20 miles from the Russia border, when it vanished from radar screens at 2:15 p.m. local time, with no distress signal.
"This is a tragic day in what has already been a tragic year for Malaysia," Najib told reporters in a televised statement from Kuala Lumpur. "If it transpires that the plane was indeed shot down, we insist that the perpetrators must swiftly be brought to justice."
Najib said he had spoken with the leaders of Ukraine and the Netherlands, who promised their cooperation. He also said that he had spoken with President Barack Obama, and that "he and I both agreed that the investigation must not be hindered in any way." The remark pointed to concerns about evidence tampering at the crash site, which is in an area controlled by pro-Russia insurgents.
Obama and Putin also spoke about the disaster and the broader Ukraine crisis, White House officials said, and Putin expressed his condolences to Malaysia. But in a statement quoted by Russia's RIA Novosti news agency, Putin said, "This tragedy would not have happened if there was peace in the country, if military operations had not resumed in the southeast of Ukraine."
Adding to Ukrainian and Western suspicions that pro-Russia separatists were culpable, Ukraine's intelligence agency, the State Security Service, known as the SBU, released what it said was audio from intercepted phone calls between separatist rebels and Russian military intelligence officers on Thursday. In the audio, the separatists appeared to acknowledge shooting down a civilian plane.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry sent reporters a link to the edited audio of the calls, with English subtitles, posted on YouTube by the SBU.
According to a translation of the Russian audio by the English-language Kyiv Post, the recording begins with a separatist commander, identified as Igor Bezler, telling a Russian military intelligence official, "We have just shot down a plane."
In another call, a man who seems to be at the scene of the crash says that a group of Cossack militiamen shot down the plane. He adds that it was a passenger plane and that the debris contains no sign of military equipment. Asked if there are any weapons, he says: "Absolutely nothing. Civilian items, medical equipment, towels, toilet paper."
Asked if there are any documents among the debris, the man says, "Yes, of one Indonesian student."
Myroslava Petsa, a Ukrainian journalist in Kiev, said that the voices in the audio sounded shocked by what they found in the wreckage.
By Thursday night, U.S. intelligence analysts were increasingly focused on a theory that rebels had used a Russian-made SA-11 surface-to-air missile system and operated on their own fire-control radar - outside the checks and balances of the national Ukrainian air-defense network - to shoot down the aircraft.
"Everything we have, and it is not much, says separatists," a senior Pentagon official said. "That said, there's still a lot of conjecture."
Russian troops, who have been deployed along the eastern Ukraine border, have similar SA-11 systems, as well as larger weapons known as SA-20s, Pentagon officials said.
Petro O. Poroshenko, Ukraine's president, said he had called the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, to express his condolences and to invite Dutch experts to assist in the investigation.
"I would like to note that we are calling this not an incident, not a catastrophe, but a terrorist act," Poroshenko said.
Reporters arriving at the scene near the town of Grabovo described dozens of lifeless bodies strewn about, many intact, in a field dotted with purple flowers, and remnants of the plane scattered across a road lined with fire engines and emergency vehicles.
"It fell down in pieces," one rescue worker said as tents were set up to gather the dead.
The carcass of the plane was still smoldering, and rescue workers moved through the dark field with flashlights.
For months, eastern Ukraine has been the scene of a violent pro-Russia separatist uprising. Rebels have claimed responsibility for attacking a Ukrainian military jet as it landed in the city of Luhansk on June 14, and for felling an AN-26 transport plane on Monday and an SU-25 jet fighter on Wednesday. But this would be the first commercial airline disaster to result from the hostilities.
Despite the turmoil, the commercial airspace over eastern Ukraine is heavily trafficked and has remained open. Questions are likely to be raised in the coming days about why the traffic line, which is controlled by Ukraine and Russia, was not closed earlier.
With the news of the disaster on Thursday, the Ukrainian authorities declared the eastern part of the country a no-fly zone. U.S. and European carriers rerouted their flights, and Aeroflot, Russia's national carrier, announced that it had suspended all flights to Ukraine for at least three days. The conspicuous exception was Aeroflot flights to Crimea, the southern peninsula annexed by Russia in March, a pivotal point in the Ukraine crisis.
It was unclear late Thursday whether any Americans had been aboard the flight. Russia's Interfax news agency said there had been no Russians aboard.
In Amsterdam, a Malaysia Airlines official, Huib Gorter, said the plane had carried 154 Dutch passengers; 27 Australians; 45 Malaysians, including the crew; 12 Indonesians; nine Britons; four Germans; four Belgians; three Filipinos; and one Canadian. The rest of the passengers had not been identified.
Andrei Purgin, deputy prime minister of the Donetsk People's Republic, an insurgent group in eastern Ukraine, denied in a telephone interview that the rebels had anything to do with the loss of the jet. He said that the rebels had shot down Ukrainian planes before but that their anti-aircraft weapons could reach only to around 4,000 meters, far below the cruising level of passenger jets.
"We don't have the technical ability to hit a plane at that height," Purgin said. He also did not rule out the possibility that Ukrainian forces themselves had shot down the plane.
"Remember the Black Sea plane disaster," he said, referring to the 2001 crash of a Siberian Airlines passenger jet bound for Novosibirsk from Tel Aviv that the Ukrainians shot down by accident during a military training exercise.
In comments broadcast on Ukrainian television, Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kiev and a former heavyweight boxing champion, said the crash illustrated the risks to peace in Europe of the fighting in eastern Ukraine.
"This is not just a local conflict in Donetsk and Luhansk but a full-scale war in the center of Europe," he said. "I'm certain the international community this time will pay attention and understand."

So both candidates had bots spreading fake stories but Trump had morethe week before the election i knew something was wrong with my Facebook feed
my right hand side was lined w support adds for Trump
t'was the same week that Comey posted that he was going to start another investigation on the Clinton emails
everyone was in distress.
47% waited to get data .. virginia + first tallies from midwest .. it was about 9p and in our house it was over. the other 47% were flabbergasted, couldn't believe it, trump looked like someone was playing a g-d damned prank on him...
Ahh ... you may want to understand why AI is already in control of how we feel and how we vote
(and some folks over here are so out of touch they are still talking about Workers Unions)
SAN FRANCISCO — An automated army of pro-Donald J. Trump chatbots overwhelmed similar programs supporting Hillary Clinton five to one in the days leading up to the presidential election, according to a report published Thursday by researchers at Oxford University.
The chatbots — basic software programs with a bit of artificial intelligence and rudimentary communication skills — would send messages on Twitter based on a topic, usually defined on the social network by a word preceded by a hashtag symbol, like #Clinton.
Their purpose: to rant, confuse people on facts, or simply muddy discussions, said Philip N. Howard, a sociologist at the Oxford Internet Institute and one of the authors of the report. If you were looking for a real debate of the issues, you weren't going to find it with a chatbot.
"They're yelling fools," Dr. Howard said. "And a lot of what they pass around is false news."
The role fake news played in the presidential election has become a sore point for the technology industry, particularly Google, Twitter and Facebook. On Monday, Google said it would ban websites that peddle fake news from using its online advertising service. Facebook also updated the language in its Facebook Audience Network policy, which already says it will not display ads in sites that show misleading or illegal content, to include fake news sites.
In some cases, the bots would post embarrassing photos, make references to the Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry into Mrs. Clinton's private email server, or produce false statements, for instance, that Mrs. Clinton was about to go to jail or was already in jail.
Automated Pro-Trump Bots Overwhelmed Pro-Clinton Messages, Researchers Say
By JOHN MARKOFFNOV. 17, 2016
Who was first? Who responded?
Also. For clarity; are you against the use of bots to spread fake news or against it only when your least preferred candidate does so?

Riedel expands digital partyline series
Riedel Communications has added several new products to its Performer digital partyline intercom series. The next-generation intercom system now provides two- and four-channel master stations, rack-mount, wall-mount and desktop speaker stations, call light indicators and two-channel beltpack headset stations.
The new Performer master stations CR-4 (four-channel) and CR-2 (two-channel) are designed for a standalone digital partyline system. An integrated power supply built into the 19in (1RU) device can power up to 32 Performer devices, such as beltpacks, split-boxes or desktop speaker stations, per line. The CR-4/CR-2 also features an additional program input that can be mixed individually to each of the intercom channels. The digital intercom system can be operated using a headset or an integrated powerful loudspeaker with a gooseneck microphone.
The CD-2 Desktop Speaker/Headset Station provides the same feature set as the CR-2 Master Station with the exception of the internal power-supply. This makes the CD-2 ideal for operation as a desktop speaker station or, in combination with an external power-supply, as a two-channel master station for setting up a standalone digital partyline system.
The CW-2 Wall Mount Speaker/Headset Station comes with a standard four-gang outlet box and provides an easy-to-use two-channel digital intercom panel. The large rotary level controls combine volume control and a talk button with momentary/latching operation. The unit can be operated using a headset or an integrated powerful loudspeaker with a microphone. A call signal LED, Call and S-Call function are also included. The system can be powered from the partyline or via a local power supply.

Have you ever wondered what a Christian really is? The term is thrown around causally, but accepting Jesus Christ will change both your present life and your eternal destiny. It is the single most important decision you will ever make. Salvation begins with God, because of His great love for us.
Human Efforts are Futile:
God desires an intimate relationship with us, but we cannot obtain it through our own efforts. It is impossible for us to find peace with God through our own efforts. Anything we try to do to obtain God's favor or gain salvation is worthless and futile because our sin separates us from God.
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (NIV)
A Gift from God:
Salvation is a gift from God. He offers the gift through Jesus, his Son. By laying down his life on the cross, Christ took our place and paid the ultimate price for our sin – death. Jesus is our only way to God.
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (NIV)

Day 7 T-Shirt of Choice: No T-Shirt today, just a sweater
The 7th day of our 2010 spring break vacation got off to a very early start. We woke up at around 7:00 am to catch Baylink Ferry at the San Francisco Ferry Building out to Vallejo. From there, we caught a shuttle to the Napa Valley Wine Train Station for what was to be an awesome wine tasting tour onboard vintage rail cars. We purchased the Gourmet Lunch package which put us in refurbished 1915-1917 Pullman Cars.
Before we boarded the wine train, we waited inside of the station for a pre-boarding wine tasting. While waiting, I, as I have been doing throughout the trip, "checked-in" to the wine train station via Gowalla and Foursquare, both of which are location-based social networking services. Shortly after checking in at the wine station, I was greeted by Andrea Guzman aka @dreawinetrain, the "mayor" of the Wine Train on Foursquare. To my surprise, she introduced herself and then awarded me with a voucher for free wine tasting for two, which included 8 full glasses of wine on board the wine train! The President and CEO of the Napa Valley Wine Train, Gregory McManus, also introduced himself to us after he found out that we had received the complimentary wine tasting from checking in via Foursquare and that we were visiting from Hawaii! When he is not in Napa Valley, Greg resides on the Big Island of Hawaii. How cool is that!
I've been a regular user of Gowalla for about 3 months now and have only started using Foursquare since this trip started a week ago. After this wonderful experience using Foursquare, I think that I might make Foursquare my default location service of choice.
The ambience inside the rail cars was classy, the staff was friendly, and the food was surprisingly good! I had the salmon topped with caviar and Michelle chose the fresh sea bass with a shrimp sauce and risotto. I also experienced some great wines, including a riesling that I very much enjoyed, as well as a dessert Port that was the perfect complement to my chocolate encrusted tiramisu.
For us, the Wine Train was the perfect way to experience Napa Valley with the least amount of effort on our part. We were able to sit back, enjoy the scenery while dining on a great meal and all the while experienceing some unique vino. If driving from vineyard to vineyard isn't your thing, but you still want to experience Napa Valley, then I highly recommend that you check out the Napa Valley Wine Train.
After the Baylink Ferry dropped us off at Fisherman's Wharf, we made sure to stop by Ghiradelli Square to pick up some chocolate squares. We had visited Fisherman's Wharf the last time we visited San Francisco in 2008, so we didn't spend too much time snapping photos or sightseeing. We knew what we wanted to do there and we did it! After Ghiradelli, we stopped by Trader Joe's to pick up some snacks to take back home. Interestingly enough, our cashier briefly lived in Hawaii. What's with all of the Hawaii connections today? He also informed us that a Trader Joe's will be opening in Hawaii soon. That excited Michelle very much.
For dinner, we headed back toward the Wharf and ate at Boudin at the Wharf. No clam chowder for us. Instead, we had the steamed mussels with garlic frites to start and for entrees, I had the dungenuss crab mac and cheese, and Michelle had the margharita pizza. After a long day of wining and dining, we proceeded to head back to Union Square satisfied and excited for the following day.
And here's the day in photos:

Photography became possible because of the daguerreotype process, invented by Louis Daguerre and Joseph Niepce. Joseph Niepce did not live to see the completion of his project. He died in 1833, and 6 long years later Louis Daguerre perfected the daguerreotype process.
Once the daguerreotype was created, the first form of event photography–wedding photography–began. Due to the necessity of a prolonged exposure time, the process of capturing wedding memories was strenuous. Couples were required to stand perfectly still for 5 – 10 minutes to ensure one good picture. Many people attribute the serious looks on people's faces in their wedding photos as a reflection of society's mindset, when in actuality, holding a smile for a photograph was extremely uncomfortable.
With the evolutions of film and then digital photography, capturing the essence of an event became much more enjoyable for both the photographers and their subjects. Event photography is still adapting and evolving. Orlando-based event planning companies like Fun Planners offer a collaboration of photography and videography to create memorable and fun souvenirs for event attendees. Here are a few unique ways to highlight your event experience with some cutting-edge event photography techniques:
Green Screen Photography – Green Screen Photos use digitally enhanced backgrounds that allow you to travel the world without leaving Orlando. Event planning specialists and photographers can superimpose event guests into backgrounds matching the theme of the event.
Digital Photo Booths – Who doesn't love a photo booth? Traditional portraits are still an option but now these digital photo booths come with a variety of unique printing options. You can choose to have your photos printed on a 3D cube, or graphic photo stips.
Boogie Heads – This new form of dance video uses chroma-key(green screen) technology that takes your head and puts it on an animated boogie-body. Dance, sing and laugh while your co-workers, family, friends or even a perfect stranger lip-sync and boogie to the greatest pop songs of yesterday and today.
Traditional photography and videography are an important detail to remember for Orlando event planning specialists, but now unconventional forms of capturing memories are also available to further enhance your experience. Whether you want to be transported to distant lands or put your head on an animated boogie-body, Fun Planners has all the event photography elements necessary. Fun Planners specializes in special events, corporate events, fundraisers and much more. We guarantee your guests will be 100% satisfied with our services. To learn more about what Fun Planners can offer you, call us today at 1-866-511-4FUN or visit our website at: http://www.funplanners.com/

FileMaker Kanji Project – Progress 3
Coming soon. I had hoped to release v0.3 of Kanji Sieve in May, but it will now be mid-June. It required a lot of work. I've been cleaning up the behind the scenes scripting etc. and learning a lot as I go along. All the features I want for v0.3 are in place and working (hopefully without any bugs). What I am now mostly doing is sorting out the fonts on Windows. I also have to make some decisions about Kanji Notebook. I am using some data from it but there's at least a month's worth of work before the file is usable as a notebook. It possibly needs to be truncated and definitely needs to be locked away from the user in this release.
Some screen shots after the jump.
Main view.
Here is where you can see the statistics for a document and make your wordlists.
I'm pleased that I can get the kanji to highlight depending on the tab being viewed.
I've based it around a netbook's resolution of 800 by 600. I found it didn't use extra horizontal resolution and I could make the layout expand vertically if there was a larger screen.
I'm fairly happy with the interface, I don't think it will change radically from now on. I may try to iconise it a bit more, maybe use more Japanese as the default language. I'm not sure I have the energy to make it capable of being localised without starting from scratch. My development strategy has been too haphazard really. I want to put my energies into features I want to use first and foremost.
List view.
In this version, you will be able to keep track of multiple files. Here the user will be able to sort and select documents, and perform certain tasks like editing and deleting.
My iPod Touch flashcard program of choice is Flashcards Deluxe. Using FileMaker's webviewer I've made it easier for me to upload decks. There is also automatic generation of a list based around the most frequent unknown 20 kanji from your documents. I'd like to expand the management of wordlists in the next iteration of KanjiSieve.
This is one of a few features I feel I have to get clearance for before I upload Kanji Sieve v0.3 for public consumption.
The web is a rich source of data. It's fine for me to mash it up for myself but to wrap my own app around a webviewer is a different matter. I'm only really automating some of what could be done with a normal browser and concentrating it for ease of use but … it's best to get agreement.
I already have a list of to-do's for v0.4 but for now, back to the home straight on v0.3.
––update 01Jun10––
Windows cleanup is not going well. Many things are ok-ish. But the webviewers are sometimes spectacularly messed up to the point of mojibake. One so badly I'm not sure where to start. I had hoped css would take care of webviewers and conditional formatting would take care of FileMaker native text, but no, I have a lot more work than I thought to Window-ise what I've done. If you want it to look good FileMaker's not as cross-platform as you might hope. If I can't solve these problems I might end up with a Mac only solution.
Comments (3)
Sorry to hear you´re having problems with Windows cleanup Robert. Don´t get disheartened!
A couple of requests I have are:
1. Could you make the program skinnable or at least change the current livery. I´m afraid the blood-red colour you´re using at the moment tends to set my nerves on edge. I prefer Steel-Grey or Light Blue.
2. On the localizing question. Would it be possible to include an English .lng file and leave it up to users to translate it to their local language. If not, I think it would be better to use Japanese as the default language and include a translation list Japanese-English in the Help file.
Keep up the great work.
I am trying to develop something 3 DCD . exe and I need some help . If someone is in the same situation i am prepared to have a mate .thank you!!!
