A response to message: Ten Commandments Controversy - America Founded on Judaic-Christian Priniciples
From: "ricky"

Subject: WHO is G-d?
Gloria, I can see that you, like myself, are searching for the true G-d, because, for all these years, you have been inundated with conflicting information that has you confused and uncertain. Let me relate a true story of something that happened to me just last week that should help you find an answer.
For the past 35 years I have been an absolute atheist. Raised a Roman Catholic, I, of course, began to question the veracity of the scriptures and the authenticity of the new testament. It has been my belief that the story of Jesus was the greatest hoax perpetrated on mankind in all of history. NOBODY could convince me I was wrong. With this in mind, last week, Monday, September 15, I was checking out the stocks, looking for something to buy low and sell high, watching CNBC, when I realized it was time to take my granddaughter to the schoolbus, which has become a daily ritual for me. Before I disconnected from the trading site I said to G-d, "Father, I TRULY believe that YOU are the one true G-d and Jesus was not your son. I believe that Christians, believing otherwise, are breaking the first commandment. If I am on the right path, and YOU are the one TRUE G-d, please send me a sign...mess up my computer; leave a message across the screen....ANYTHING to give me a sign that I am on the right path."
I, then, shut down, went over to my son's house and picked up my granddaughter. After she wasdriven off, I returned home and returned to the very same website I had been on, only THIS time I couldn't submit a buy order, I couldn't browse, couldn't send or recieve EMail...in other words, my computer had gone haywire.
I packed up my equipment to take it to a computer expert to have it purged of this virus, and, later that night I was washing the supper dishes. My wife was gone, playing Bingo, and, as I rinsed a glass, with the TV on in the backround, I said aloud, "Well, G-d, I guess you showed me."
IMMEDIATELY, one of the characters, I think it was a woman, (and I really don't know what was being shown on the channel, or even WHICH channel I had on) said, "That's what you asked for, Ricardo". I know you must think I'm some lunatic, but the fact that I found your website should convince you that, since I experienced those two miracles, I have done little except try to find out whether this was truly a connection to the one, true G-d. Take it for what it's worth. I swear that EVERY word I have written here is the absolute truth. As hard as it is to go contrary to the Christian faith, I am CONVINCED now that the Jews and the Muslims might just be correct in their assertions that Jesus was no more than a man and that G-d is angry that this carpenter has been given a status
he does not deserve.
What do YOU think?

Subject: Re: Hello
I read, with interest, your miracle, and certainly will not argue with your interpretation.......except........when I read:
"later that night I was washing the supper dishes."
Now we all know that male/washing dishes do not belong in the same sentence. What planet did you say you live on?
Just joking, I also, have a husband who washes dishes - (lucky me) -
Now for your question: What do YOU think?
You know 'Ricky' it is not for me to question your interpretation of an experience that you call a 'miracle'. I will share with you that my computer crashed last year, and it did not occur to me to put a 'God did it' interpretation on it. - and I will say that I disagree with your characterization of God as 'angry' - (amused, maybe), but we've got to stop attributing to God all these negative human emotions - Isn't it amazing he has not sued for defamation of character a long time ago?
Sincerely, Gloria, ss (struggling soul)

Lose yourself on the trails in this secret garden packed with rare trees and blooming shrubs.
Pack a picnic and head for the 85-acre Thorp Perrow Arboretum near the town of Bedale, a private, year-round garden criss-crossed by winding nature trails.
The themed gardens include the pretty Spring Wood, thought to date from the 16th century, and the Milbank Pinetum – a collection of conifers planted by Augusta Milbank in the mid-1900s.
Pop into the thatched tea rooms for some sugary sustenance before visiting the Bird of Prey and Mammal Centre, where the hands-on experiences include watching new hatchlings undergoing training, and the chance to help fly a hawk.
Meanwhile, at the Mammal Centre there's a chance to hang out with meerkats, wallabies and rare breed sheep too. Best get up early to pack all that in…

Amazon.com announced today that it is buying 450 titles from Marshall Cavendish Children's Books, expanding its footprint in the book publishing business.
Titles that were acquired include "The Night Before Christmas" illustrated by Gennady Spirin; "Three Little Tamales" by Eric A. Kimmel; and "Chalk" by Bill Thomson.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Most of the titles include picture books.
"We believe the children's book market segment presents a unique opportunity to innovate in both print and digital formats," said Jeff Belle, vice president of Amazon Publishing. "And since many of these titles are not readily available as eBooks, we see a chance to connect a terrific group of authors and illustrators with more readers. We also see the potential for similar deals across other categories in the future."
Amazon plans to publish the titles under Amazon Publishing New York. In recent months, Amazon has established six different imprints: AmazonEncore, AmazonCrossing, Powered by Amazon, Montlake Romance, Thomas & Mercer and 47North.
The purchase of the Marshall Cavendish titles is yet another sign of how serious Amazon.com has become about publishing book titles on its own, creating some fear among traditional publishers.

The Disco/Freestyle/Rock 'n' Roll Faculty is one of the newest of all of the ISTD's Faculties, only being formed in 1990. Peggy Spencer MBE, Sydney Francis and Anne Lingard were responsible for steering the Faculty through its early development.
The aims of the Faculty are to create a sound and safe technique for Disco/Freestyle/Rock 'n' Roll and Country Western Dance while understanding the need to allow freedom of expression and musical interpretation and to educate teachers that dance within this Faculty is an ever-changing art form. Modern music, trends and different cultures will always give us new challenges and material to introduce to our dancers.
The basis of an excellent technique has helped to create a challenging examination system. Amateur Medal Tests follow the same structure as all the examinations within the Imperial Dance and Dance Sports Faculty. Every age and standard is catered for, from the colourful Under 6 and Under 8 Rosettes through the medal system to the Peggy Spencer Eight-Dance Award and the Rock 'n' Roll Shield.
Professional examinations may be commenced at Student Teacher through to Fellowship. At all levels teachers are required to have a good knowledge of anatomy and mechanics of the body with an understanding of dance preparations and techniques.
The Faculty has an annual Congress offering a wide variety of lectures with new material suitable for class and competition work. These Congress workshops also provide teachers with modern trends and new ideas. Successful medallists may enter the many Medallists' Competitions held throughout the country and the Imperial Championships are held annually, all exciting and prestigious events. Disco/Freestyle/Rock 'n' Roll Associates who achieve a Highly Commended result in their examinations may be eligible to enter the coveted Phyllis Haylor Scholarship.
Country Western
In 1996 the Faculty conducted its first Country Western workshop. Regular professional workshops and study seminars are now held. With a syllabus covering Line, Western Partner and Freestyle Couples, the DFR Faculty has established a complete Amateur Medal Test system and professional Associate examination, with Licentiate soon to be implemented. An ISTD Country Western Festival is held annually. This is a popular event for Amateurs and Professionals with world class lecturers, top country bands and featuring all types of Western Dance.
The DFR Faculty is pleased to encourage and promote this popular dance style and above all welcomes the friendship and sharing of knowledge that emulates from the world of Western Dance.

Illuminated from Above Hawthorne's Cordary Avenue glows with artists
A magician pulls rabbits from his hat or your wallet from his vest pocket. Thinh Nguyen, a conceptual artist who works out of an enclave of aging studios and mechanics' garages in Hawthorne, is a magician of another sort. As a curator, Nguyen has been pulling credible artists out of his sleeve, if not exactly out of thin air. "Lime Light," his newest group show, opens Saturday, June 7.
Instead of selecting individual works of art, Nguyen chooses the artists – and then gives them carte blanche as to what they can put on view. The five L.A.-based artists featured in "Lime Light" were selected in this way, and one has to say this about Thinh Nguyen, the artists he finds have intelligent and exploratory ideas about what they create. Julienne Hsu dissects the metaphor of a "dog eat dog" world with her artistic examination of underground dogfighting. Evoking the fragility of existence and the figurative sense of "feeling trapped," Jane Gillespie Pryor's sculptures resemble traps and shelters.
Deborah Bianculli's work is focused on the effects of organic versus non-organic practices within industrialized farming and how this impacts the soil, coupled with the depletion of water sources. For Melanie Moore, her art dovetails with an interest in cellular biological mutation, embryonic growth, and the effects or implications of such issues as stem cell research. Lastly, Alan Nakagawa will be on hand during the opening reception to discuss his participatory installation piece, where guests can recline on "beds" to physically experience Nakagawa's musical composition, which consists of audible and subtonic tones in a kind of sound therapy.
The title of the show, "Lime Light," presumably bears scant relation to Chaplin's film of the same name.

"I was questioning my idea of why do I want to curate out of my own studio here in this industrial complex," Nguyen says. "Well, because I want to bring light to the artists here." And he doesn't just name his guest artists, but those with permanent work spaces within the compound. These include Axel Wilhite, Scott Meskill, and Sean McGaughey. It also includes two other accomplished resident artists, Paulin Paris and Bob Wilhite, whose studios will be open during the reception for "Lime Light." Of these latter artists, I can't say enough good things about either of them.
les beaux artes and Freedom fries
As the name might suggest, Paulin Paris is originally from France. His last name, he says, "comes from a tribe called the Parisi, who were the first inhabitants of Paris. It's quite an old name then. I feel very French in that sense."
Living in America, and becoming Americanized, he says, at the same time revives his French cultural roots. The effect on his artistic thinking is not lost on him. "As an artist it has been really influential because I don't think I would do the same work in France."
Paris, however, is no Johnny-come-lately; he's been doing projects in New York for 30-35 years, and has lived in Los Angeles (Culver City at present) for 15 years. He has a family, children, and at the very least is slowly becoming Californian.
His father being a noted draftsman and his great-grandfather being a painter regarded highly enough to have works in the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay, Paris grew up in an atmosphere that emanated fine art. His first notable artistic experience or revelation came at about the age of 12 when, in Paris, he attended an exhibition of Joan Miró:
"I understood at that time that art was the ability of projecting yourself in a very deep way to something completely different from what is around you."
This led to an appreciation of art across the spectrum of the 20th century – "you go from one revelation to another" – and the pursuit in college of two fields of interest, philosophy and painting. "Art is not only a cultural or technical practice," Paris says, "but it's also a philosophic approach. I'm trying more and more today to reconnect those two dynamics."
In other words, his art is introspective and it's not surprising that he mentions the ideas and the problem-solving techniques of such artists as Picasso and Duchamp.
"Duchamp for me is one of the most important 20th century artists because he's the one who opened the box," Paris says, "because (with) the ready-mades potentially anything can be art. That was an incredible move. I think Duchamp opened so many paths, and we are still walking on those paths."
During the "Lime Light" opening Paris will show a series of his paintings he calls "Symbolic Symbols." These, he says, "are everyday symbols that we see all around us, but in a way that reminds us that we could also see them with a different view or vision."
He is exhibiting works by two other French artists as well. "Spice Girls" is a series of watercolors by Philippe Charpentier, but the artist has literally added spices into the work (turmeric, cumin, pepper, etc.). Paris adds, with a sly smile, that because most of the work depicts nudes, the work is – in another sense – spicy as well. This sounds like art we'll want to bury our noses in.
Olivier Mirguet, on the other hand, is a photographer who has been living in Los Angeles for several years, and "Supervisions L.A." evolved out of his fascination with LAPD helicopters, especially at night when they prowl the skies for gangsters. Their searchlights, as Christian Caujolle phrases it, put urban life in brackets. The "supervision" thus "is a super-vision that dashes, stalks, and hunts down thanks to a ray that seems to come from nowhere." In short, and what a fine concept for a series of images, "We are back at photography's roots, to writing with light; mostly when night covers the city."
One hand clapping
Sometimes when interviewing an artist we want to cry out, Stop, stop, not because they're talking nonsense or in non sequiturs, but because they're a fount of too many delicious ideas, and you know you'll drown in them and then torture yourself over which of them to include and which to leave out. Bob Wilhite is one of those interviewees.
If you enter his workspace and then his living space you don't have to be told that this is a unique artist. You'll just know.
"I consider myself a sculptor," Wilhite says, "but I also do paintings, I do furniture, I do musical sculptures, I do functional art, I do non-functional art. I guess that it comes back to what your priorities are, and as an artist one of my priorities is to make objects that are compelling, and that discuss the hierarchy of art, sculpture, what is and what isn't sculpture, and how you make art."
A couple of examples to get us started. In Wilhite's workshop is a lifesize replica of Fat Man, the atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. It's constructed out of wood slats and painted black. "The original in this size," he says, "weighed 10,800 pounds and this one is somewhere around 130. I tried to make it a complete contradiction to what the actual bomb was."
Upstairs, we're standing in front of a glass-topped display case. "I design flatware," Wilhite explains. Inside the case are several sets, each set different, of knives, forks, and spoons, the usual culinary utensils. They are, however, in a kind of cubist-geometrical style reminiscent of Purism and its adherents – Le Corbusier, Ozenfant, and Léger. "I thought that flatware and a lot of utilitarian objects hadn't been rethought or revisited for a number of years, so I did this – and I still haven't seen anything else like it out there."
He showed his work to a young curator of decorative arts at a prestigious museum on the East Coast.
"He said, Well, you know, the major designers of flatware would have done like ten of these in order to make sure that one was right. And I said, Well how do you know that I didn't? I looked at everything out there."
Wilhite recently returned from Amsterdam, where he was commissioned to design – and build – a small public bar, which he did, from top to bottom, including the door, the floor, the barstools, the tables and chairs, the decor, everything. But don't picture the usual sort of bar you've been to in Los Angeles.
"I always try to give people what they don't quite expect – and hopefully a little more. I also try to give them a discussion of it." The discussion, or dialogue, is a key ingredient of the artistic creation although, in the end, even after looking at and absorbing other kinds of work, the artist follows his or her own passion and vision.
"In a way, art is an experiment to see what happens, to see what kind of response you get from people." Other people's approval isn't necessary for personal fulfillment, but art isn't meant to remain in a vacuum, and so a dialogue about the work is important.
Referring to some earlier exhibitions, Wilhite says, "They were a discussion about how you make things, and whether you do need to make things, actually physically – or if maybe you can create it in someone's mind well enough" so that a physical object isn't necessary.
What he's leading to here is a series of silent musical instruments, and this embraces a set of plays that Wilhite did in collaboration with Guy de Cointet. "In one of the plays there was a reference to this musical instrument that's picked up and talked about and never played. It's a silent instrument."
Now, that's an idea that Wilhite is still intrigued by.
"I did a series of cubes with illustrations of silence leaving the cube." These pencil drawings, which were shown at the former Galerie Neuartig in San Pedro maybe three years ago, are engaging, puzzling, amusing, and thought-provoking. Think of sound as visual resonance. "The whole thing becomes this conceptual structure that you can move around, and you can kind of manipulate, to make people think about things in a different way. And I try to do that in my work."
Some artists wear many hats (from French berets to Kentucky derbies), and Robert Wilhite is one of them. But rarely, if ever, have you seen hats like these.

It's hard to believe it's been 20 years. In December 1997 Quality Cheese was founded, and soon thereafter Caroline showed the first samples of our Swiss cheeses to potential customers in New York City. Products of a quality they hadn't seen or tasted before.
Max McCalman of the late Picholine restaurant, and "Dean of Cheese" said: "Caroline Hostettler has singlehandedly raised the bar for artisan cheese making in the U.S."
A lot has changed since. At the time Quality Cheese was the first and only one to offer more than commodities and to show that there is no Swiss cheese but great Swiss cheeses. In the meantime many have jumped on the waggon, the competition is growing. We have been copied over and over. Which we take as a compliment and which drives us forward.
Over the years we have kept on exploring and being fascinated by the health aspects of tradtionally made cheeses. In 2013 Caroline founded the Adopt-an-Alp program supporting transhumance, and cheeses that are more charcterful, tasty and healthy than any others. Adopt-an-Alp has been an unforeseen success. The program is growing, and soon, we will announce a surprising new part of the program.
Hence it's only fitting that for our 20th anniversary we go further in that direction. We have streamlined our portfolio. And together with our partners we introduce a new line: Cheeses made from certified mountain meadow milk. Milk from cows that are fed with grass and hay only, no silage or soy feeding is allowed. A lot of these animals graze in the Entlebuch area, one of 669 worldwide biospheres certified by UNESCO.
The products that we don't actively promote you can still order. You find them in our product archive.
But that is not all. The Mountain meadow milk selection contains another jewel. Our partner InterCheese entered a collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Stefan Wiesner who calls himself an "Alchemist". Check out this video and you will see why. Gault&Millau calls it "ECO Cuisine" or "Cuisine of the Future".
Together with the Entlebuch Mountain Dairy in the village of Marbach Wiesner has created "The Alchemist's Cheese" line. Available in the U.S. exclusively through Quality Cheese.
All these new cheeses have a story to be told. They were introduced to the U.S. at the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco in January 2018.
On this page you will find the newest researches about the health benefits of cheese and dairy in general. It contains information from around the world.

You don't have any saved vehicles!
Look for this link on your favorites:
Once you've saved some vehicles, you can view them here at any time.
When Mazda set out to develop a flawless rotary engine in 1961, it was just a distant pipe dream for other automakers. Our tenacious engineers fought through a number of setbacks like chatter marks on the inner walls of the rotor housing. Ultimately, they conquered these so-called "nail marks of the devil" with high-strength carbon infused seals. The labor of love paid off when they successfully introduced the Cosmo Sport, the world's first volume production sports car powered by a rotary engine.
In true Mazda fashion, one passionate engineer dared to be different. At a time when the lightweight sports car segment was all but extinct, Kenichi Yamamoto led the development of the first generation Mazda MX-5 Miata. He and his team had one mission: Build a lightweight sports car that's a pure joy to drive. They stopped at nothing to reach this goal, even incurring extra costs to achieve the agility they were after. In the end, every ounce of effort was worth it. They created a fan favorite, with more than a million Miatas on the road today.
We believe vehicles should be engineered to maximize driving dynamics and efficiency: from body construction and engine technology, to the chassis and transmission. So we developed our innovative Mazda SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY to give you the most out of every mile without ever compromising performance. It's just one of the ways Mazda makes driving better.
This is the very question our designers ask themselves when they stare at a blank page. At inception, anything is possible. They have the power to craft true works of art like the Takeri, Shinari, or Mazda's latest concept vehicle, the RX-VISION. Although these vehicles are strictly concept cars and not available for purchase, they're a visual demonstration of how Mazda KODO: "Soul of Motion" design is evolving

We're three days into "unofficial pool season" and I'm proud to say I have my first sunburn. "Why proud?" you say … because, as I frequently joke, I could get a sunburn in the dead of winter. By that logic, with a faint sunburn creeping up after three days in the height of the direct sun, I'm pretty impressed with myself.
Everyone always laughs about the ridiculous ease in which I burn, but since it's true, I fail to find the humor in it. Blisters, peeling skin, and a fear of more than 15 minutes in the sun? No thanks. As luck would have it, I married into a family that starts getting a tan mid-March. By our first beach trip of the summer, they're usually golden brown and I'm, well … pale and burnt.
I could bathe in sunscreen all day long, and while it helps, I never fail to miss a spot no matter how many times I reapply. Over the years I've learned a few tricks to keeping the sunburn at bay: a giant umbrella, loads of sunscreen including both lotion and spray, and a diet hefty in antioxidants. Yup, food. My bestie. Who knew? Boosting your diet with certain foods is just one of the many ways to prevent sunburn.
Before you head out to the beach this hot and toasty summer, think about adding some of these foods to your daily plate. A couple of these foods may even surprise you. Hint: They may or may not involve wine and chocolate. Need I say more to convince you to give it a try? (Please don't skip the sunscreen just because you had a few glasses of wine the night before though.)
11 Foods That Help Prevent Sunburn:
1. Butter
Yup, you read that right: saturated fat. It may not help directly with sunburn, but it looks like saturated fat might help prevent skin cancer.
2. Cod Liver Oil
(And other vitamin D-containing foods.)
This one's a little funny: Our main source of vitamin D is the sun, but vitamin D may also help protect us from the sun. In some studies it's been shown to increase the skin's tolerance to the sun, essentially making it harder to get a sunburn. It also helps prevent skin cancer.
3. Chocolate
Now your ears are perking up, huh? Chocolate that's rich in flavonoids may decrease the severity of a burn. One study showed a 15 percent decrease in redness from sunburn after six weeks of drinking flavonoid-rich cocoa, and a 25 percent decrease after 12 weeks. Don't worry, try one of these guilt-free chocolate recipes.
4. Almonds and Sunflower Seeds
The vitamin E in foods like almonds and sunflower seeds helps repair cell damage, along with vitamin C. Eating these foods can help minimize sunburn if you eat them before going out in the sun. Try these cinnamon-roasted almonds or this fresh blueberry chicken salad with almonds.
5. Salmon
Omega-3 fatty acids for the win again! A specific type of omega-3 fatty acid called eicosapentaenoic acid (or EPA) may help prevent sunburn as well as decrease DNA damage in the skin. You can find EPA in salmon and cod liver oil. Omega-3s also help fight inflammation, so if you do get burnt, perhaps they will help lessen the severity. Give one of these easy baked salmon recipes a try.
6. Wine
Along with blueberries, hazelnuts, and sorghum, grape seeds (and the wine that's made from the grapes) contain proanthocyanidins, which just might help decrease UV radiation damage. Cheers to that! Try one of these 7 ways to eat grapes … or go pour yourself a glass of wine.
7. Tomatoes
Lycopene, the antioxidant that gives tomatoes their red hue, can help prevent sunburn. It's the most effective after eating it daily for three months. As a bonus, lycopene also helps increase the collagen in the skin, keeping it more elastic and preventing sagging. Don't like tomatoes? Watermelon is chockfull of lycopene, too. Mix things up with one of these 15 summer tomato recipes.
8. Carrots, Red Peppers, Mangos, Melons, Apricots, and Sweet Potatoes
These red, orange, and yellow foods contain beta-carotene, an antioxidant that may help prevent sunburn when you eat five servings a day for 10 weeks. Try putting mango salsa on fish tacos.
9. Green Tea
Help block UV rays by drinking up the good stuff — green tea, that is. The polyphenols in green tea may help stop sunburn in its tracks, whether you drink it or put it directly on your skin. Try this watermelon green tea punch, the perfect refreshing summer drink.
10. Citrus Fruit
Vitamin C, found abundantly in citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons, can not only help stop but also repair damage done to your cells due to UV rays. It works best when combined with vitamin E. Unlike tomatoes, which have to be eaten habitually before having the ability to protect you from sunburn, eating foods high in vitamin C before heading out in the sun can help prevent or lessen the extent of a burn.
11. Shrimp
Shrimp eat algae which contains astaxanthin, an antioxidant that may help prevent sunburn from UVA rays. Next time you light up the grill, try one of these grilled shrimp recipes.More On

Kolli hills – the ugly or the 'real' part
On a recent visit to Kolli hills (also projected as the Herbal mountain) located in Namakkal district in central Tamil Nadu, I had high hopes of going to an hill station secluded away from the world, all pristine and beautiful. Kolli hills is not yet popular as its famous counterparts, the Yelagiri hills or Yercaud but of late is slowly becoming popular with the weekend crowd and the distance from Bangalore is just lower than 300kms, a potential tourist spot in the making. Reaching there is a driver's delight as you need to counter 70 hairpin bends to reach the small village at the top of the cliff and nevertheless to say the highway is neatly laid out and is a cruise from Bangalore.
Mid-way, while we stopped to enjoy the views (it was dry and hot being summer), a look below the walls and the scene was petrifying. Beer bottles grew on trees and the ground was plastic'd completely. Further, the next couple of stops that we did and the scenes repeated…slowly I began to realize the place been infested with plastic bottles and beer bottles!
With uncertainties and sapping in the hot sun, we reached our place of stay 'Nallathambi Resort' that looked quite clean and well maintained or I thought so! On the outlook, everything looked fine until I looked over the compound wall in disarray, again a plastic trash city over there. I went around different directions peeping over the walls and it was the same sight everywhere. Sooner, I realized not only this resort, other resorts/hotels too bore the same sight!
Sigh! To make mockery of the situation, the bus stand had a board stating 'No Plastics'.
With a troubled conscience hitting me hard, I set off to the 'touristy' places nearby and the overall situation looked grim, far worse than I thought. We walked up and down to the Akash Ganga falls (the 1200 odd steps fatigued us no end) and it was infested with hordes of people (as expected), some bathing, some relishing and some sunbathing and yes littering was common.
Arappaleshwar temple is a favored place for many visiting Kolli malai it was not anymore surprising for me to see a huge dump yard right in front of the temple. The visit to the small falls/stream opposite to the temple yielded more signs with the stream littered with clothes/plastic/bottles. What I expected was a quiet hill station offering solace to the weekend traveler and what I saw was a notorious 'plastic station' infested heavily with plastics and garbage. The signs of herbal mountain turning into a garbage mountain doesn't seem too distant.

i have used a sample of Eye Hope by Phylosophy and its really good...even though it was just a sample size (I got it free from Sephora when I bought stuff over $100 hehe) it lasted me more than a month since you only need a small amount. When I applied it I can already feel the effect and my dark circles and eyebags significantly improved. I'm not sure if it's available in the Philippines but its worth a try ;p

Actually I bought the full-size of this product and it lastet me for 5-6 months :) so eventhough it isn't cheap, I really liked it. The nightcream is kind of thick and won't soak into your skin so well, but it feels nice. The daycream is a gel, which soaks in quickly and it really makes a difference :) just don't put to much onto your skin, because it'll rinse of :/ However, it's a great product, I would definetly recommend it :)

DIY: Backyard Hula Hoop Light Fixture
We found a great Hula Hoop light on Pinterest and we needed to recreate our own! This light is cheap, easy to make and above all else, a really fun touch for your backyard! See how we put this light together in our step-by-step tutorial ….
STEP 1: Find your hula hoop and string lights. We picked up a small hula hoop for our first try and found really cheap string lights at Target and Amazon.com
STEP 2: Slowly and tightly string the lights around the hula hoop. If you have excess when you reach the beginning again, simply keep stringing the lights, but more loosely to ensure you don't have too many lights in one section. Stringing the lights while they're lit will help prevent overcrowding in one region.
STEP 3: To hang our new light fixture under our umbrella, we found bright blue ribbon to match the color of the Hula Hoop.
STEP 4: We looped three ribbons to tie to the spokes under our umbrella
STEP 5: Tie the ribbon in a bow, as long or as short as you'd like
WALA! The finished product is a gorgeously unique light that will illuminate your backyard! Cheap and chic – Yea, we love it!

Expose your sofa's legs by using tailored or customized sofa skirts to give your living room a more traditional ambiance. Use upholstered wooden chairs to match and arrange them accordingly without breaking the symmetry of the design.
Tropical Style brings in the outdoor color pallets. The lush greens and yellows of natural flora are just two of most common colors you can find in a tropical living room design idea. Choose colors that are found naturally like the color of trees, plants, flowers and fruits. Think of a tropical forest or a market full of tropical fruits to inspire your design.

Share Flipboard Email Print History & Culture Ancient History and Culture Figures & Events Ancient Languages Greece Egypt Asia Rome Mythology & Religion American History African American History African History Asian History European History Genealogy Inventions Latin American History Medieval & Renaissance History Military History The 20th Century Women's History View More by N.S. Gill N.S. Gill is a freelance classics and ancient history writer. She has a master's degree in linguistics and is a former Latin teacher. Updated February 27, 2019 The Bible is a series of documents many revere as the backbone of their religion. For others, it is a literary masterpiece. For still others, it is nonsense. But our culture makes reference to many of the people mentioned in the Bible, so regardless of one's feelings about its value, it makes good sense to learn to recognize the names of major figures. These 11 Biblical figures are considered by most to be historically real. The list is basically in chronological order. For important legendary Biblical figures preceding the Exodus, see Legends of the Jews. 01 of 11 Moses FPG/Getty Images Moses was an early leader of the Hebrews and probably the most important figure in Judaism. He was raised in the court of the Pharaoh in Egypt, but then led the Hebrew people out of Egypt. Moses is said to have talked with God. His story is told in the Biblical book Exodus. 02 of 11 David David and Goliath. Caravaggio (1600). Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Warrior, musician, poet (author of Psalm 23 - The Lord is My Shepherd), a friend of Jonathan, and king, David (1005-965) is familiar if one knows the story of his killing the giant Goliath with his sling during the battle that the Israelites fought against the Philistines. He was from the tribe of Judah and followed Saul as king of the United Monarchy. His son Absalom (born to Maacha) rebelled against David and was killed. After causing the death of Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, David married her. Their son Solomon (968-928) was the last king of the United Monarchy. 03 of 11 Solomon Giuseppe Cades - Judgment of Solomon, late 18th century. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Solomon (ruled 968-928), born in Jerusalem to David and Bathsheba, was the last king of the United Monarchy. He is credited with finishing the First Temple in Jerusalem to house the Ark of the Covenant. The name of Solomon is associated with proverbial wisdom. One example of his wisdom is the story a disputed baby. Solomon suggested to the 2 would-be mothers that he use his sword to divide the baby in half. The real mother was willing to give her baby away. Solomon is also known for meeting with the Queen of Sheba. The main source for Solomon: The Book of Kings. 04 of 11 Nebuchadnezzar Nebukadnezar, by William Blake. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Nebuchadnezzar (ruled c. 605 B.C.-562 B.C.) was an important Babylonian king whose Biblical significance lies in his destroying the First Temple in Jerusalem and starting the period of Babylonian Captivity. Sources for Nebuchadnezzar include various books of the Bible (e.g., Ezekial and Daniel) and Berosus (Hellenistic Babylonian writer). 05 of 11 Cyrus Cyrus II the Great and the Hebrews, from Flavius Josephus' illuminated by Jean Fouquet c. 1470-1475. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia While in the Babylonian captivity, the Jews looked to prophecies about their release. Contrary to expectation, the non-Jewish king of Persia, Cyrus the Great, was the one to conquer the Chaldean (Babylonian) Kingdom (in 538 B.C.), and secure their release and return to their homeland. Cyrus is mentioned 23 times in the Old Testament. Books mentioning him include Chronicles, Ezra, and Isaiah. The main source on Cyrus is Herodotus. 06 of 11 Maccabees The Maccabees, by Wojciech Korneli Stattler, 1842. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Maccabees is the name of a priestly Jewish family which ruled Palestine in the second and first centuries B.C.E. and wrested Judea from the rule of the Seleucids and their Greek practices. They are the founders of the Hasmonean dynasty. The Jewish holiday Hanukkah commemorates the Maccabees' recapture of Jerusalem and reconsecration of the Temple in December 164 B.C.E. 07 of 11 Herod the Great From The Taking of Jerusalem by Herod the Great, illuminated by Jean Fouquet, c. 1470-1475. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Herod the Great (73 B.C. - 4 B.C.), was king of Judaea, thanks to Rome. Herod increased the prosperity of the area, including the finishing of the Second Temple, but is portrayed as a tyrant in the New Testament. The Gospels say shortly before he died, Herod ordered the killing of infants in Bethlehem. 08 of 11 Herod Antipas and Herodias Paul Delaroche's Herodias. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Herod Antipas, a son of Herod the Great, was the ruler of Galilee and Perea from 4 B.C. - A.D. 39. Herodias was the niece of Herod Antipas who divorced Herod's brother to marry Herod. This marriage violated Jewish custom and John the Baptist is said to have criticized it. Herod and Herodias' daughter (Salome) is said to have asked for the head of John the Baptist in exchange for dancing for an audience. Herod may have had a role in the trial of Jesus. 09 of 11 Pontius Pilate From Mihály Munkácsy - Christ in front of Pilate, 1881. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Pontius Pilate has come down in history because of his role in the execution of Jesus. Pilate (Pilatus, in Latin) worked with Jewish leaders to put on trial a man who posed a threat. His actions with respect to Jesus are recorded in the Gospels. Harsher critiques of him can be found in the Jewish historical writers, Josephus and Philo of Alexandria, as well as the Roman historian Tacitus who places him in the context of the name "Chrestus" or "Christus" in his Annals 15.44. Pontius Pilate was a Roman Governor of Judaea from about A.D. 26-36. He was recalled after he slaughtered thousands of Samaritan pilgrims. Under Caligula, Pilate may have been sent into exile and he could have committed suicide in about 38. 10 of 11 Jesus Jesus - 6th-century mosaic in Ravenna, Italy. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia The religion of Christianity is based on the figure of the resurrected Jesus Christ. Christians believe him to be the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. His story is told mostly in the Gospels, although there are other possible mentions. Non-Christians who accept the historicity of Jesus, generally believe he was a Jew from Galilee, a rabbi/teacher baptized by John the Baptist, and crucified in Jerusalem by the sentence of Pontius Pilate. 11 of 11 Paul Georgian Orthodox Icon of Saint Peter and Paul. Paul Delaroche/Wikipedia Paul of Tarsus, in Cilicia, was also known by the Jewish name of Saul. Paul, a name he may have had thanks to his Roman citizenship, was born early in the first century A.D. or late in the last century B.C. He was executed in Rome, under Nero, in about A.D. 67. It is Paul who set the tone for Christianity and gave the Greek name for 'good news', i.e., the gospel. Continue Reading

Protein bars and snacks are one of my favourite supplements to use. They are incredibly handy, nutritious, generally very tasty, cheap in most cases and make dieting and integrating a bodybuilding diet into a busy lifestyle very easy.
Protein snacks come in all shapes and sizes with differing ingredients, nutritional values, composition and taste. You can get flapjack bars, brownies, cookies, chocolate bars and ive even seen protein jelly babies.
If you are out and about during the day and aren't able to get a meal or take a protein shake with you then one of these snacks can be extremely useful to you to avoid missing a meal and not getting your nutrient requirements.
I have personally tried and tested a large majority of the protein snacks and bars on the market so feel I can give pretty good recommendations to which ones you may like. The first thing you need to consider with protein snacks is what nutrient requirements you have. For example a flapjack bar will have lots of complex carbs but fairly low protein, whereas a bar like the phd growth factor 50 will have lots of protein but less carbs. There are other aspects to consider like taste, value for money, quality etc.
I will give you my favourite 3 bars and reasons why. They are 3 totally different protein snacks and serve different purposes for me.
To put it this way, I am addicted to these bars!! They are so moreish it is very hard to stop at just one bar. If you are bulking or trying to gain muscle or improve performance and need plenty of carbs in your diet then these bars are fantastic. They contain lots of low GI complex carbs from oats as well as 20g protein per bar. They are fantastic value for money, not too bloating, taste amazing and have a great balanced nutritional profile. In my opinion they are the best snack for anyone on a high calorie diet who needs to get carbs as well as protein from their protein bar.
Number 2 – PhD Growth Factor 50
The GF50 bars are not like the flapjacks. They are a brownie. They are far larger than the flapjack but boast a massive 50g protein per bar. They also contain 25g low GI carbs and 10g fat from MCT's. Another great bar for anyone wanting to gain size. They come in chocolate and chocolate orange which are both tremendously tasty. The GF50 is a great bar if you know you wont be getting a meal for a while and need something serious to keep your body fuelled for a longer period of time. With 400 calories per bar the GF50 is equivalent to a medium sized meal.
The Diet whey bar was literally my saving grace throughout my recent diet. I was allowed 1 diet whey bar per day as it is only 180 calories per bar. The fact that it is so low calorie meant that it was a fantastic low calorie alternative to a higher calorie meal. The reason it was so important to me on the diet was that it tasted SO GOOD! The diet whey bars are a serious joy to eat (especially if you are on a diet and hungry for chocolate all day). It has 25g protein per bar and is relatively low carb and low fat. It also contains CLA and L-carnitine to aid in fat loss. The diet whey bar comes in chocolate, choc-orange and strawberry. The chocolate and choc-orange and my favourite.
So these are my 3 favourite protein snacks. All of them are fantastic in their own right. So if you are looking for a snack to take with you on the go when you may not be able to get any other source of nutrients I strongly recommend any of these 3 options.

We service and replace exhaust fan belts. If your kitchen becomes hot or smoky you may need to tighten or replace your fan belt.
A quality fan belt is critical for any hood system to function. In fact, a broken or worn fan belt is the most common reason why hood exhaust systems don't work properly. It causes the kitchen to be excessively hot and the exhaust fan to operate inefficiently. Not only does this create an obvious safety hazard, it can also cost hundreds of dollars in excess utility bills.
Commercial kitchen exhaust fans are a vital part of your ventilation system. They remove odors and improve indoor air quality. Commercial kitchen fans also remove moisture, which can increase the level of humidity. High humidity can cause mold, mildew and bacteria growth which can ultimately result in major health code violations.
You may need to have your fan belt serviced or replaced if your fan is:
- too noisy?
- not powerful enough?
- not energy efficient?
- a fire hazard?
We are fully insured and offer certificates to all of our customers. Having your hood cleaned on a regular basis by a professional company can lower your insurance cost. We can provide you the proof you need for your insurance company to show that you are taking the necessary precautions against a grease fire .

On weekday mornings, when I do not have to go to work, I get myself a hot cup of coffee, put a fire in the fireplace, sit down with my knitting or crocheting and watch Home and Family on the Hallmark channel. I am so happy! This is my piece of Heaven!
Due to several snow days, I have been delightfully blessed with this pleasure this winter. I finished this baby blanket while enjoying my piece of Heaven on Thursday.
A year or so ago, I read in a Debbie Macomber book what she thought her job would be in Heaven. Right away, I thought about my job in Heaven. I immediately knew my job would be to knit/crochet angel wings. I see myself sitting outside a beautiful little country cottage, at a small round table with a yellow umbrella above it, knitting angel wings. When angels need new wings they will come to me, and I will make their wings. I also see a pitcher of lemonade and beautifully decorated cookies on the table to share with my angel visitors. The angels will sit, rest and have a treat, and I will knit and listen to their stories about their jobs in Heaven.
I am very grateful to be in my home, all warm and cozy, crocheting angel wings this winter.
Thank You, God, for my piece of Heaven.

Dogs may not be able to take selfies (yet), but they still have plenty of swag on social media.
Klooff, an app that lets pet owners share photos of their cats and dogs, found the most popular dog breeds in each country based on posts to the service, as well as the biggest social media trends involving our furry friends (via Mashable).
While some of the results are expected, like the poodle's popularity in France (how cliché), others were more surprising, like the U.S.' love for the French Bulldog and Argentina's obsession with English Bulldogs (what?).
And according to Klooff, cats rule in the social media world, with their photos getting 2.3 times more shares than dog photos.
Klooff looked at the most recent 50,500+ posts on its app and analyzed the types of breeds that each country posts about the most, which ones increased/decreased popularity in the last year, and the digital engagement of each share.

The New York Comic Fest took place as a one-day comic con in White Plains, New York on Saturday, vying for regional attention alongside Eternal Con in Long Island and NY Special Edition by Reed Pop in New York City. It was a rare configuration of comics fandom to have so many events happening at once, but as Ann Nocenti said to me "Why can't we have them all?" There is enough comic enthusiasm in the region to stretch that far, to be sure. But for those who made it out to New York Comic Fest, fans and professionals alike, the day was a unique one with its own flavor and spirit of celebration.
There were spotlight focus panels on the history of Marvel comics, Batman, Writing Comics, and more. And the icing on the cake was having many knowledgeable guests taking part in the panels who had "been there" during significant milestones in comics history like Jim Salicrup, Ann Nocenti, Denny O'Neil, Paul Levitz, and the much-in-demand Scott Snyder and Mark Waid. Walking through artist alley which was, essentially, everywhere rather than in a separate area, you'd also spot Bill Sienkiewicz, Jim Steranko, Fred Van Lente, and Dean Haspiel as well as a number of indie creators. In all, many of the guests and attendees were the cream of the crop in the New York region and their support made NYCF special in a way that reinforces the need for regional shows.
Here's a photogallery from the event:

Google has changed the commenting system on YouTube so that you need to be a Google Plus user to post; the new system uses algorithms to promote some comments above others, and has the perverse effect of making trolls more visible. Vi Hart, the incomparable math-vlogger (and a regular favorite around here) describes how Google's decision to double down on its flagging Facebook-alike G+ service by ramming YouTube users into it has made her lose faith in the service: now her regular, good commenters comments hover at the bottom of the pile, while hateful trolls whose messages generate a lot of replies are judged "good" by G+ and promoted to the top.
The promise of G+ in the beginning was that making people use their real names would incentivize them to behave themselves. It's abundantly clear now that there are more than enough people who are willing to be jerks under their real names. In the meantime, people who have good reason not to post under their own names -- vulnerable people, whistleblowers, others -- are now fully on display to those sociopaths who are only too happy to press the attack with or without anonymity.

Tower MD, James Boonzaier, says the purchase doubles his company's share of the health insurance market. It is now the second biggest behind Southern Cross.
Mr Boonzaier says it has also added a range of comprehensive health insurance products to complement Tower's medical range, and has boosted the company's presence in the group and corporate market.
Tower says its health operations will be merged with the new acquisition the next three months, and the combined company will have premium income of $80m and 170,000 clients. It is forecast to be positive for Tower Group's earnings per share within the first year.
AXA New Zealand CEO, Ross McEwan, says while the sale of AXA Health takes his company out of health insurance from a manufacturing perspective, it still intends to distribute a range of health insurance products.
"We have negotiated an agreement with Tower to distribute health insurance policies through our adviser network. This will ensure that we continue to offer health products as part of our services to customers.
"Moving out of health product manufacturing also assists us in our strategy of focussing on our core business, which is investment and life insurance."

|Chiari 1 malformation with syringomyelia: correlation of phase-contrast cine MR imaging and outcome.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 17939105 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|AIM: This study was designed to determine the hemodynamics of cerebrospinal fluid flow in syringomyelia patients associated with Chiari I malformation using phase-contrast velocity-encoded-cine MRI and also to find out whether treatment outcomes may be predicted by these flow measurements. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eighteen consecutive symptomatic patients with syringomyelia associated with Chiari 1 malformation were included. The PC VEC MRI was performed at the level of foramen magnum and syrinx cavity both preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Following surgery, the modified Asgari score was calculated, and the association between CSF flow pattern and clinical outcome was assessed. RESULTS: Evaluation of clinical symptoms at postoperative 6th month revealed improvement in 11 (61%) patients and stabilization in 5 (28%) patients whereas results were poor in 2 (11%) patients. Preoperative cine MRI flow studies showed a heterogeneous pattern at the foramen magnum level in all of the patients. Postoperative cine MR flow studies demonstrated the change from heterogeneous pattern to sinusoidal pattern in 11 patients and a decrease in heterogeneity in 7 patients. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that CSF flow measurements using PC VEC MRI can give important information regarding the prognosis and follow-up of the patients with Chiari I malformation.

The Glory of God
The word kavod(glory) in the Old Testament comes from a root verb which is translated as heavy, rich, honorable, or glorious. In I Samuel 4:18 the word is used to describe Eli as a heavy man. Also in II Samuel 14:26 the word describes Absalom's hair as heavy. This meaning is rarely used in the OT. The noun taken from this verb is kavod (glory). It is translated as glory, glorious, honor, or honorable. By far the majority of uses translate the word glory.
The word very rarely carries the literal meaning to be heavy or weighty. It is more common to see the figurative use as in being heavy with sin. The word usually carries a negative connotation. "Generally speaking there are three groupings of figurative uses. The first would relate to parts of the body expressing slowness, dullness or implacability. The second relates to events or experiences describing their severity in terms of heaviness, and the third would express size or number in such terms" (TWOT, 426). Another general use of the figurative is more positive in character. In this case the word carries the idea of being weighty in the sense of being noteworthy or impressive. The character and reputation of the individual along with the abundance of possessions or the accomplishment of great heroic acts would make one weighty (glorious) in the eyes of other people. In the same sense God, who has the greatest character, and has done the greatest acts, is the essence of glory. In many instances God reveals the weightiness of his character in the temple and in the earth. This reference means more than just the reputation of God's character. It is synonymous with God's presence among us.
In the negative sense Isaiah 59:1 speaks of God's ears not being heavy, that they cannot hear. Nehemiah 5:18 describes the second negative use, "the bondage was heavy." Genesis 18:20 describes the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah as very heavy. This boasts of the magnitude of their sin. In the positive sense Haman in Esther 5:11 "told them of the glory of his riches." In Job 19:9 he says, "He hath stripped me of my glory." Job is definitely referring to the possessions and health that make him a reputable person. In Exodus 16:10; 40:34 God fills the tabernacle with his presence. In I Samuel 4:21-22 the ark of God, which represented the presence of God, had been taken. So Eli's daughter-in-law names her son "Ichabod, saying, the glory is departed from Israel." Clearly she is referring to the presence of God departing. There are many references to the Glory of God as referring to the weight of His character and works. Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God." Psalm 21:5 says, "His glory is great in salvation." Dueteronomy 5:24 says, "The Lord our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire."
This study helps in the understanding of many verses of scripture. Take for instance I Chronicles 16:24,28-29. David is singing a song of praise and adoration to the Lord because the ark of God has been brought to the city of David. In verse 24 he says, "Declare His glory among the heathen." We should follow David's exhortation and be showing and speaking of God's weightiness of character and action to the lost world around us. Not only should we declare his glory to others, but also we should devote glory to him ourselves. In verse 28-29 it says, "Give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name." Then he tells us how to give him the glory due unto his name. He says, "Bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Fear before him, all the earth." How can we give God the weightiness and honor he deserves? We must sacrifice for him, worship him and fear him. This is what truly glorifies His name.

I'm living in hell. Completely engulfed in flames standing outside of my body watching my emotional wellbeing go up in smoke. Fuck, I'm so dramatic. Ok, let's go back to the start.
First weekend in a while I've been minime free so I organised a date on Saturday at 2pm. With a guy who sold bricks. PLEASE allow me to enlighten you on the world of bricks. Firstly, do you know how many different TYPES of bricks there are? No? WELL I FUCKING DO. This was my second "get back on the horse" date and all it did was reconfirm for me that I'm turning into a raging feminist lesbian because women are beautiful and a less complicated and I hate men. Ok that's not true. I'm just miffed you know? I can't find the part in my brain to switch off the a-hole beacon. Ok that's not true either. I think I found it… later on that night. So back to brick guy. Mate, you're lovely, but I don't care for bricks. I like shoes. And Witchery blouses. After three beers I told him it was imperative I go home and complete an assignment for uni (still successfully procrastinating about that one) and I headed home. I immediately dialled my best bud to give her the low down because she always makes me feel better and it took ZERO convincing for her to come out with me to drown my sorrows. We met some friends out actually, we drank Patrone, we danced at a club that played OUR music (I'm talking about the Spice Girls), and there were A LOT of slut drops and dirty dancing. And then I met someone.
You read that right… I MET SOMEONE DANCING! Not on tinder. This. Is. A. Miracle. Tall… football player…handsome face…. Gently spoken. Gentleman. OMG. I love him. All my friends at 1am were like "Hey, Suzi… it's 1am… we should go." Yeah… no. I've just met my husband, thanks. I'm not going anywhere. Now most of you know me pretty well. You know I have this drunk debaucherous alter ego that only manifests after the right amount of vodka sunrises and white Sambuca shots. We got home at 5am. We. I made pancakes and everything because I'm considerate like that, and was still drunk at 8am. He told me I was amazing. Ok so maybe not the right course of action when you meet your future husband but it was fun. Until he told me he was born in 1996….
OK… have you done the math and regained your composure? Firstly kudos to me. He thought I was his age and told me I was pretty *SWOON*SOOO I've had several discussions about this with a couple of close confidantes. If the roles were reversed and I were 20 and he were 31, no one would bat a fucking eyelid would they? Probably not. In fact, there's a certain something who I used to be close too that has almost done exactly that. I bet all his mates high fived him. I can't particularly get past it. There's really only one reason for not being able to move past it, despite seeing him again. And, by the way, he is still the loveliest young man I've ever met… mostly because I don't know any other 20 year olds. Everyone is like give him a chance, give him a chance #TEAM20!!!! He seems super keen, super sweet natured and super handsome. But it's not his age. It was a text message. When I checked my phone on Sunday morning, there was a text message. Take a guess at who it was from? Can I quote you a line from the conversation? Please allow me to. It reads, "I adore you."
And so returns Mr. Darcy. I am in emotional hell, so here's to you, Mrs. Robinson.

My main computer is pretty fast, with a nice overclocked Core 2 Duo, speedy RAM and a kick-ass video card. Unfortunately it does have one piece slowing it down. While my hard drive is SATA (none of that ancient IDE crap here), I'd love to switch it out for a faster SSD drive. My main issue is that the speed gain just doesn't justify the price. But what if price was no object? Just what could you do with say, 24 top-of-the-line SSD drives? You can open the entire Microsoft Office suite in half a second. You'd have transfer speeds topping out at 2GB. You'd even be able to make the kick-ass video seen above.

My third week in Prague didn't exactly start too great. My mind collapsed a little bit and I had to get some space, so I picked up my bag and fucked off out of class and headed straight to the Metro with my cameras and went to get some peace on my own in the city.
Granted, heading into the city might seem like the last place to go in order to get some space, but in a city no one bothers you; Everyone's got their own shit to be getting on with, which meant I was free to roam and just be content with existing. Hiding in plain sight.
Prague has felt pretty grey while I've been here, there's a cold smog over the entire city, and a side from one brief moment one morning, I haven't actually seen the sky. Honestly, it's weird. I kind of feel like I'm walking round with a bag permanently over my head.
The Christmas markets do bring some colour into the fold though (and while I'm hardly a Christmas kinda person, the pastries and hot wine are too good to ignore).
The city had a brief shower of snow, and it was just the right temperature for it to settle. All the benches were finely covered.
…and just enough so that couples could write their names in it.
I missed my chance here, I clearly should have written "LEE WOZ HERE 2014"..
I'm looking forward to getting more familiar with this city over the next few months. I'm with the right people, that's for sure.

Time has been very much against me this week, so luckily the paper collection I've used in this book has made my life A LOT easier.
The G45 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' collection has been used throughout. I adore this collection which I bought last xmas with the idea of making xmas decorations for this year . . . no time for that option sadly. To accommodate the 3 double page spreads I actually removed one of the chipboard pages from the book, then created a pocket for the tags to slip into.
G45 has cleverly captured the spirit of this 'story line' well here with the design work on these pages, they have been ideal to create my tags with.
On the reverse side of the tags are the lyrics of some of my favourite 'non-traditional' xmas carols. Sadly my printer 'ate' one of the songs, and is still presently jammed with paper, I think due to this damp humid weather we are experiencing at the moment.
Lots of Imagine if . . chipboard and felt have been used to embellish this book. Apart from being a very rushed job, this has been a fun project to complete.
The competition I mentioned above is infact similar to the theme of this book. We are asking you to visit all the Design Team posts (as per usual) following our links provided and gather a clue from each site. . . . my clue is "2 running deer". When you have visited all the sites and have gathered all the clues, simply follow this link to the Imagine if . . facebook page and simply write "I WANT IT ALL". Leaving a comment at every visit I'm sure will increase your chances to win . If selected Jo will then ask you for all the clues, and you will WIN IT ALL.
Easy peasy, now for the necessary directions. Before me you would have visited Katrina and next follow this link to see what Ngaere has instore for us all this week.
Imagine If . . product used here are: stockings
chipboard book
felt xmas tree decorations
Thanks for visiting today and over the last year. Good luck with the competition.
I hope you all have a happy and safe Xmas and New Year.

This sixth generation benchtop diffraction system is a perfect XRD solution for R&D, QA/QC and teaching. Available high-speed detector, sample-changer and monochromator make it incredibly flexible.
>> See more
TiO2 is widely used in white pigments, electronics materials, optical catalysts and UV absorbents. It exists in three polymorphs: rutile, anatase and brookite. The efficiencies of rutile and anatase as optical catalysts are different, so a method to determine the rutile:anatase ratio is needed. The quickest way to do quantitative XRD analysis is to determine the RIR (Relative Intensity Ratio). Data from the MiniFlex, profiled below, is of a prepared mixture of rutile and anatase in a 3:1 ratio. Using Jade to apply profile fitting algorithms, integrated intensities of several peaks were determined. The result showed rutile at 71.6 wt% and anatase at 28.4 wt%, which are approximately consistent with the ideal values of 75% and 25% respectively. This method is widely used as a simple, quick way to perform quantitative analysis.
New sixth generation MiniFlex X-ray diffractometer (XRD) is a multipurpose analytical instrument that can determine: phase identification and quantification, percent (%) crystallinity, crystallite size and strain, lattice parameter refinement, Rietveld refinement, and molecular structure. It is widely used in research, especially in material science and chemistry, as well as in industry for research and quality control. It is the newest addition to MiniFlex series of benchtop X-ray diffraction analyzers from Rigaku, which began with the introduction of the original MiniFlex system decades ago.
