Have you ever received the dreaded phone call from your bank? Not the one saying you are late on your bond repayment but the one where there is an amount for a few thousand dollar reflecting on your card for the latest SLR Camera – purchased in Bangkok. These stories appear to be happening more regularly. Especially when you consider how easy it is to whip out your mobile phone or tablet to make online payments or even start playing your favorite slot game for real cash.
What most people are not aware of is how they expose themselves to potential criminals when transacting, especially in public places.
Important tips to ensure online or mobile purchases are secure:
- Before logging into your casino account always make sure that you are on a secure Wi-Fi network. Under you Wi-Fi settings, make sure that you don't allow your phone to automatically connect to any unsecure network. These unsecure networks are where fraudsters prey on the ignorant and uninformed. We recommend that unless you are 100% sure the network is secure, rather opt to use your mobile networks' data instead.
- An easy way to protect your online mobile purchases is to use Web Wallets. For example, ewallets like Instadebit or using UKash for mobile casino slot deposits will act as prepaid cards or vouchers.
- Make sure that all your transactable Apps have strong passwords that cannot be easily cracked.
- Before downloading any Free Slots App, do your homework. Your phone or tablet could easily become infected with Malware by Apps these criminals plant inside the App stores. Even worse they could potentially scrape your personal details for their own financial gain. Recent studies suggest that Android apps are targeted more with this sort of an attack.
- Take simple precautions to protect your mobile device by setting up a 4 digit passcode. This will protect your info should you misplace it or if it gets stolen. Another consideration is your kids getting hold of it, then finding themselves inside the casino playing slots with your cash balance.
Keep these tips in mind. Especially if you would prefer to hold on to your casino winnings to make your own choice of SLR camera.

Day #6 – Service
Another trip around the sun
Today I am taking another trip around the sun. Yup, today is my birthday. Here are pictures of my past passports.
The first one is 1977 and I'm 16. I was new to the world. Trying my best.
Second one is 1982. Still in college still trying to figure it all out.
Third one is 1987. Out of college, living in New York City, trying to find an acting job. It looks like I'm just a bit more jaded.
Yet now I reflect more on life and think about the next generation and their survival.
More wisdom, less judgement and around the sun I go.
Enjoy your life because it is slipping into the future.
Tangle #2
It is time to tangle together. Working on Tangle #2.
- Sit comfortably, take a big breath and exhale
- Grab a small piece of paper (mine's about 4 inches by 3 inches)
- Put a dot in each corner- use a pencil or pen
- Connect the dots to make a frame
- Draw a squiggly line in the frame
- relax, there is no wrong way to do this
- Find your favorite patterns and fill up each space
- Shade it
- Initial it
- Bada bing Bada boom
Here's mine.
I decided to color in the frame, and make the patterns a bit more 3 dimensional by attaching the lines in the Keeko pattern (that is bottom left). Adding hashmarks to the bubbles, and going over the Mist lines (upper left). Shading also adds 3 dimensions-you just color it in with your pencil and smudge it with your finger.
I'd love to see yours. You can share it below.
All the best.

Water Project to complement women and girls in Climate Change fight
The Africa Centre for Climate Change Knowledge Foundation, ACCCKF, has launched a program to sink boreholes in rural areas as part of empowerment initiatives for women and girls.
By Staff Writers
The foundation is a non for profit organization manned by volunteers and seeks to provide awareness on issues pertaining to Climate Change while making practical interventions on the negative impacts of Climate Change on African communities.
Through its website, www.accckf.org.zw, the foundation has won awards for providing quality information on Climate Change and the environment which has seen its readership growing to cover all parts of the globe.
ACCCKF Trustee, Sithabile Dhlakama said in rural Africa, fetching water for domestic and sanitation purposes was in most cases, the responsibility of women and girls.
In some instances, those responsibilities included sourcing the precious liquid for watering livestock, poultry and nutrition gardens.
"As a result of Climate Change, girls are kept away from school and self development as they spend a lot of time trying to collect water."
Dhlakama said the negative impacts of Climate Change were hitting Africa very hard.
"Some of the impacts of Climate Change that we are experiencing in Africa include more frequent droughts and increasing temperatures which naturally make access to safe water a big challenge.
"Because of the roles that women and girls play in accessing safe water in Africa, they bear the brunt of the negative effects of Climate Change through water responsibilities," said Dhlakama.
Although communities will be the major beneficiaries of the project through provision of clean water, it is expected to reduce the workload of women and girls.
The provision of clean water for some rural communities by The Foundation would enable girls and women to spend more time in school and to spend more time on school related activities such as homework.
Already, in some African countries, rural girls have the added burden of failing to access sanitary wear, which also keeps them out of school for a considerable time.

Royal Caribbean is working with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to launch Automated Passport Control and Mobile Passport Control programs that are designed to expedite customs processing for eligible travelers arriving at Port Everglades.
Photo by Marc-Andre Mireault
The Sun Sentinel is reporting that the new programs are being tested this summer, with passengers arriving on Oasis of the Seas in Terminal 18 able to use new passport kiosks in the cruise terminal.
With Automated Passport Control, qualified inbound travelers can use kiosks to submit their travel documents and customs declaration forms before speaking to a customs officer. They must have U.S. or Canadian passports, or be an eligible Visa Waiver Program international traveler.
U.S. and Canadian citizens with smartphones can opt to use the free Mobile Passport Control app to complete their customs declaration form prior to arrival. The mobile passport app is expected to launch in late July.
Port Everglades is the first cruise port in the United States to test these passport kiosk and mobile app programs.
One of the largest cruise ship ports int he world is Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale and if you are not lucky enough to be on one of these cruise ships, the next best thing is to watch them leave! Blog writer Michael Poole shares where to watch the ships leave if you want to see them in Fort Lauderdale.
More often than not, if you are sailing on a cruise, you arrive to the departing city the day before to avoid any unplanned delays. That's exactly what I did on my last cruise on Oasis of the Seas out of Fort Lauderdale.
Once I arrived to Fort Lauderdale, I reached out to my good friend, Emmy Schaffer, about the best place to watch ships sail out of Port Everglades. I've always seen pictures of people on rocks at the beach waving bon voyage to the ships, but honesty had no clue how to get there.
Almost all the cruise ships sail between 4:00pm – 5:30pm, so I'd recommend arriving no later than 3:00pm.
The cross streets you want to look for are South Ocean Drive and Anchor Drive SE 20 ST. You can also look for Everglades House condos, as they are on the same block.
Once you arrive there are only a few meter parking spots on the right side, so get there early. We had to circle around a few times and lucked out getting one, but it was almost 4:00pm.
Now that you are parked, you are going walk back towards the street signs and look for a black gate. This gate gives you access to the public beach and is not locked. Upon entering the beach you will see a long walkway and then you want to turn right when you pass the ally.
Now you will see a large section of rocks to the right and this offers the best views for watching ships sail away.
Just a warning don't get to far out, because the water will splash up on you, in fact I got soaked!
This is such a great way to get even more excited about your upcoming cruise, if that's even possible at this point.
If you have any questions about how to get here please leave them in the comments section below.
Royal Caribbean is investing more and more cruise ships in Fort Lauderdale these days so if you're looking to get to Port Everglades (the cruise ship terminal in Fort Lauderdale), here's a quick guide to getting there easily.
Royal Caribbean currently operates a few cruise ships out of Port Everglades including Oasis of the Seas, Allure of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, Independence of the Seas, Adventure of the Seas and Vision of the Seas.
Port Everglades is pretty easy to get to via car thanks to a number of major roads that connect to highways.
If you're driving from outside of Fort Lauderdale (elsewhere in Florida or out of state), you can get easily to the main entrance of Port Everglades via U.S.1, I-95, State Road 7 (441), Florida's Turnpike, Sawgrass Expressway and I-75.
You just need to look for an exit to I-595 East straight into the port (I-595 becomes Eller Drive once inside the Port).
If you are flying into Fort Lauderdale and want to go straight to your cruise ship there are a few options for you. The airport is very close to the cruise terminal via U.S. 1.
The quickest and arguably simplest option is to take a taxi from the airport and have them drive you to the port. Taxi fare will cost you about $10 to $15.
There are also other shuttles and private car/limousine services available to purchase. Shuttle services can be cheaper, especially with larger parties but may take longer. Private sedan/limousine service will be more elegant than a taxi but cost more.
If you are staying at a hotel near Port Everglades, many hotels and resorts near the port offer complimentary shuttles to the port. Check with your hotel about if one is available and how to sign up for it.
Some hotels require advance sign up and/or a specific pick up time to be brought to the airport.
In addition, many area hotels offer parking for the duration of your cruise for a fee or included in your hotel price.
Royal Caribbean offers a bus service of its own (called transfers) to bring you to the port from Fort Lauderdale Airport as well as Miami International Airport.
Royal Caribbean offers transfers in one way increments (you can book two one-ways to create a round trip). At last check the cost was $29 per person, each way for a transfer from either Fort Lauderdale or Miami airports to Port Everglades.
To purchase a Royal Caribbean Guest Transfer or for additional information consult your travel agent or the Royal Caribbean reservations department at 1-800-327-6700.
Port Everglades Terminal 18, home to Roya Caribbean' Oasis of the Sea and Allure of the Seas, has a brand new piece of art on display.
"Cruising School", a public art installation by Washington, D.C., sculptor Larry Kirkland can now be viewed by the 12,000 cruise guests that pass through the terminal each week.
The artwork is made up of 300 painted aluminum fish suspended from a swirling oval bracket attached to the ceiling, which cast shadows on the walls when they rotate. The art cost $605,000.
Port Everglades, home to Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, saw its cruise passenger numbers jump 2.4% up in the third quarter compared to the same period last year.
Port Everglades Director Phil Allen is happy about the results, "These trends show the resilience of the nation's cruise market and the importance of the cruise industry to South Florida. In a tough economy, cruising offers guests affordable vacationing options."

Port Everglades, Florida is the home to Royal Caribbean's flagships, Oasis and Allure of the Seas and the last quarter of 2010 saw cruise traffic up 25% to 1.17 million cruise passengers.
This is great news for not just Royal Caribbean but the cruise industry as a whole because it shows the industry has rebounded nicely from the recession, thanks in part to new ships like Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas or Oasis of the Seas. Locals in Fort Lauderdale area are happy as well as that means more cruise passengers spending money in the local area before and after their cruises.
In addition, port revenue for the first fiscal quarter was at $37.5 million, a level that exceeds the previous first fiscal quarter peak of $30.6 million in 2008.
The city of Fort Lauderdale, home to Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas, is seeing increasingly large growth in terms of the amount of passengers that pass through the city on their way to a cruise and the city is looking to capitalize on the big business.
In just two years, Port Everglades will become the busiest cruise port in the world and city officials want to get as many of those millions of cruise passengers to stay in their city and spend money locally.
To get things going, city officials agreed in principle earlier this week to start a new bus service to take people from cruise ships into Fort Lauderdale before they take their flights home from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Routes would run to downtown and the beach.
How big of a number are we talking here? It's expected to exceed 3.5 million passengers per year once Allure of the Seas starts regular cruises and many more will follow as a result of a recent deal with Carnival cruise line that will bring an additional 25.5 million cruise passengers over the next 15 years.

This is the first time I have ever tasted or made Panna Cotta. Oh good grief! I have to stop being intimidated by desserts with fancy names. This was incredible and easier to make than homemade pudding! The vanilla flavor was wonderful. Panna Cotta reminds me of a very expensive ice cream with it's smooth , soft, cream laden texture. This delicious dessert can be topped with fresh fruit or grated chocolate to make it easy to serve.
To save myself from having to buy cream and half and half for this recipe, I made my own half and half. Take 3/4 cup whole milk and add 1/4 cup heavy cream to make one cup half and half. It works like a charm!
Panna Cotta … my new favorite no bake summertime treat, Enjoy!!
To Print The Recipe,Click Here.
Panna Cotta
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2 Tablespoons water
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup half and half
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla
Place gelatin in the smallest saucepan you have and sprinkle the water over it. Let sit until gelatin is softened, about a minute. Heat the pan under low heat until the gelatin is dissolved, remove from the heat, set aside.
In a large saucepan bring the cream, half and half and sugar up to just under a boil over medium to high heat. You want the mixture to be very, very hot, but not boiling. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the gelatin and vanilla.
Divide the Panna Cotta up into eight 1/2 cup ramekin dishes, cool to room temperature. Cover cooled ramekins with plastic wrap and chill 4 hours or overnight.
To save you from having to buy heavy cream and half and half for this recipe, make your own half and half. Take 3/4 cup whole milk and add 1/4 cup heavy cream to make one cup half and half.

I still chuckle to myself when I recollect learning about the word "idiopathic" in medical school. My professor said that it meant that the doctor was an idiot, and the patient was pathetic. We all realized that it was funny because it was sadly, partially true.
The medical term basically means that the cause for the patient's problems could not be found. The diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is idiopathic, because it is a diagnosis of exclusion. This means that doctors can only give the diagnosis of IBS when all other possible causes of the symptoms have been ruled out.
Meaning, your bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, urgency, or incomplete evacuation of stool cannot be attributed to any inflammatory, infectious, or other diagnosis that is recognized by the medical community thus far.
Since no cause is found, that basically means that you're **** out of luck. You might get sent home with a few palliative medications to ease your symptoms, but the chances of you spontaneously having what's considered normal digestion without the use of pharmaceutical medications are slim to none.
The problem with endowing someone with an idiopathic diagnosis is that once it is given, the search for the answer concludes. The term "IBS" has been in use since the 1940s. I was also taught in medical school that just about 50 percent of the information you learn in medicine will be obsolete in 10 years. So why are we still using a diagnosis that is more than 50 years old when we have come so far in our knowledge of the gastrointestinal tract?
We know in Functional Medicine that the gastrointestinal tract governs how the rest of our body functions. If the digestive system is not functioning properly, then nothing else in the body will — that includes the mind and brain, immune system, hormones, nerves, muscles, bones, etc.
The main reason for this is that the digestive tract is where we assimilate and interact with our environment. The skin also does this; however, although it is permeable to an extent, it is nowhere near as selectively permeable as the gastrointestinal tract. The one-cell-layer-thick lining of our gastrointestinal tract must decide what gets incorporated into our bodies and what gets eliminated through our stool. This is a very important and intricate task, and if we are suffering symptoms associated with IBS, then we can assume that this imperative role is not being conducted properly.
Therefore, these seemingly benign gastrointestinal symptoms that the patient presents with may cause the development of more serious ailments in the unforeseen future. These symptoms are best not to be ignored, brushed off, labeled as idiopathic, or "controlled" with pharmaceutical medications.
Luckily, Integrative and Functional Medicine doctors have been helping patients with IBS for decades. Having an extensive knowledge of other possible diagnoses, additional testing to do, and executing empirical treatment options when reliable tests may not exist, we have been able to work diligently and persistently with patients on getting rid of these symptoms the majority of the time.
If you are suffering from IBS-type symptoms, and don't feel that your doctor is giving you enough attention or investigation, then you may want to reach out to an Integrative or Functional Medicine doctor to look into what might be the underlying cause. There are a multitude of gastrointestinal conditions that are associated with IBS symptoms which can be treated and actually cured. Here is a list of some of them and a little information about each one:
SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth: This diagnosis can be made by testing one's breath or, more recently, blood. SIBO can be caused by hypochlorhydria (lack of stomach acid), induced by long-term use of acid-blocking medications like Nexium or Prevacid, or related to aging. Other causes can be antibiotic usage, poor diet, or stress, among others. The treatment consists of either antibiotics or antimicrobial herbs, both of which have been shown to be just as effective by a study done at Johns Hopkins University. The incidence of recurrence after treatment is high, so it's best to work closely with your doctor on this.
Fructose malabsorption: Most people can absorb about 25-50 grams of fructose from one meal; however, some can absorb less than 25 grams. This can lead to excessive fructose in the GI tract and IBS-like symptoms. This has become more of an issue recently due to the addition of high-fructose corn syrup to so many processed foods. Avoiding these and high-fructose fruits can certainly help with symptoms. Testing can be done with a breath test by certain gastroenterologists.
Yeast/candida overgrowth: This is a giant issue that is frustrating on multiple levels. For one, it is not recognized as a diagnosis by the conventional medical world. Secondly, it is rampantly increasing due to liberal and overuse of antibiotics and excessive sugar in our diets. Third, no reliable testing exists to diagnose it. And last but not least, it can be very difficult to get rid of.
Food sensitivities: For many reasons, including astronomical changes in our food industry and production over the past 50 years, we are becoming more sensitive to multiple foods and additives (gluten, dairy, soy, corn, nightshades, preservatives, emulsifiers, etc).
Parasite infections: Another diagnosis that is difficult to make and treat. However, if this is highly suspected, many times we will empirically treat patients with herbs or medications that are well tolerated, benign, and effective.
Gut-brain axis disturbances: We know now that there is direct interplay between our emotions and the microbes that live within our GI tract. If we are chronically stressed, for instance, certain neurotransmitters will dominate our brain, nerves, and blood, and cause maladaptive changes in our microbiome which can lead to IBS-type symptoms. Ensuring that mental health is being addressed is imperative to our gastrointestinal health.
Hormonal imbalance: In addition to the gut-brain axis, there is also a direct interplay between our hormones and our gut bacteria. There is bi-directional communication happening between all our sex hormones (i.e., estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone), and thyroid hormones and the bacteria that live in our GI tracts. If our hormones are imbalanced, then our microbiome's bacterial environment will likely also become imbalanced, and visa versa.
This is not a complete list of all the pieces of the puzzle that make up our gastrointestinal health. As you can see, there are multiple factors that should be addressed when a patient presents with gastrointestinal upset. The key is finding a doctor to work with you.
It can sometimes take a lot of investigative work, and certainly takes lots of patience and diligence to get to the answer. But believe me, to heal your gut, the center of your health, it will all be worth it.

United States Doctorate in Biomedical Sciences Programs | PhD Biomedical Sciences Degrees
PhD in Biomedical Science Overview
Graduates interested in conducting independent research and gaining laboratory experience might benefit from earning a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Biomedical science degree. Biomedical scientists conduct research in order to comprehend human disease and find ways to improve human health. PhD Biomedical Science programs are designed to educate learners who aspire to pursue careers as research scientists and scholars, or academic careers in biological and biomedical science.
While Doctorate in Biomedical Science degrees tend to focus on research methods needed to be a scientist such as product design and data interpretation, some students may be in a dual degree program that pairs a PhD with a range of specialized medical degrees. These degrees, such as Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) and Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), teach the clinical skills that these professions require.[i]
Typical Requirements for Biomedical Science Doctoral Programs
At the doctorate level, PhD in Biomedical Science programs usually necessitate that students have at least a bachelor's degree in biochemistry, biophysics, microbiology, molecular biology or another closely related science field, as well as prerequisite coursework in calculus, chemistry, biology, genetics and physics. Depending on the program, other prerequisites may include letters of recommendation, a letter of intent and a minimum undergraduate grade point average.
Ph.D. programs in biomedical science generally take 4-5 years to complete, and include core and elective coursework, laboratory rotations and dissertation research. Generally, the first year exposes students to research in biological, bioengineering and biomedical fields to help them identify an area of specialization and dissertation
topic. Some of the areas of specialized concentration for PhD dissertation research may include:
- Cell analysis and modeling
- Structural and quantitative biology
- Neuroscience
- Immunology
- Genetics
- Toxicology

I know it is getting old. You come to my blog. I profess my love for butternut squash in any form. Well, sorry- the story is not changing. Today, I added another of my favorites- cranberries.
I saw this very interesting recipe on The Recipe Girl and thought it would be the perfect way to use up some of the rice paper wrappers I had in my pantry. Plus, the combination of ingredients just sounded so interesting and well, delicious.
I mean, who doesn't love pumpkin seeds? I was afraid that there wouldn't be any of them left to put in the wrappers because they taste so good roasted.
Don't worry, I made sure some of them made it in.
These rolls required a little bit of extra work, but the final product was oh-so-tasty and worth it. Everyone was pleased.
Cranberries were going for $1 a bag, so I stocked up on them and put a bunch in the freezer. The dipping sauce is reminiscent of cranberry salsa or another fruit salsa, just a little bit tarter. Delish!
Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Seed Rice Paper Rolls w/ Cranberry- Chile Dipping Sauce from The Recipe Girl
A delicious twist on this Asian favorite...
1 lb butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into ¼-inch cubes
2 to 3 tsp olive oil
Twelve 8-inch round rice paper wrappers
4 ounces vermicelli rice noodles or rice sticks (the kind you boil in water)
1/3 cup roasted, salted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
DIPPING SAUCE: (about 2 cups)
1 cup whole, fresh cranberries
1½ cups cold water
½ cup granulated sugar
1 to 2 large serrano chiles, seeded and finely minced (use 1 or 2 based on spice preference)
2 Tbs fresh lime juice
1. Prepare Sauce: Combine cranberries, water and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. When the cranberries start to pop, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, partially covered, for about 5 minutes. Add the minced chiles and lime juice, bring to a boil again, and then lower the heat to medium-low. Stir the sauce occasionally, using the back of a wooden spoon to mash some of the cranberries against the sides of the pot. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by about less than one-fourth and looks syrupy. Remove from heat. The sauce will thicken up more as it cools. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Yield: 12 rolls
Cooking Tips
*To roast pumpkin seeds, spread raw pepitas on a baking sheet and place in the oven at the same time that you're roasting your butternut squash. I gave pumpkin seeds a quick spray of Pam and sprinkled them with salt. Watch closely and stir often. They should begin to brown in about 7 to 10 minutes.
**When you get ready to assemble, it's helpful to set up a little assembly line of the fillings- placed into little bowls makes assembling more efficient

When a congregation or non-profit group is considering a building program of any size, it's easy to overlook a range of issues that aren't directly part of construction, but will likely occur before, during, and even after. These frustrating details have to do with all the disruptions caused by construction activity. Where will groups meet? Will they need help to move out or move in? Who will ... Read More

If you don't already know of one, there's a good chance you'll be seeing an abandoned church sometime soon.

How did I miss the eulogy for church steeples? Apparently, in 2011, a reporter from US News and World Report noticed lots of disappearing steeples, and penned an article to mark the trend.

In the past decade, there have been increasing instances of church closure. So what happens when a church is no longer needed?

However, without a program or strategy for transition, many of these buildings ... Read More

Annette's Websites of the Week – Father's Day Special.June 15, 2012 at 1:16 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: Annette's Websites of the Week, Audiobooks, Father's Day, Gifts, Internet, Moonpig Cards, Red Letter Days, Websites, www.audible.co.uk
As its Father's Day on Sunday I thought I'd share some websites that will give you a helping hand in making this year's Father's Day extra special- for every type of dad!
Moonpig Cards – Personalised greeting cards are a lovely way to say Happy Father's Day. If you visit an online customising site such as www.moonpig.com there is lots of variety, everything from comical cards, sentimental cards, sports themed cards and even photo cards. Each greeting card can be edited specifically for your dad to add that extra special touch.
I've used Moonpig in the past and was really happy with the whole experience. Picking a card is really simple- search the Father's Day card selection (or whatever occasion you're looking for) and edit accordingly. I like to pick cards which allow me to use lots of photographs but chose a design that suits you and your dad best.
My top tip when using Moonpig is to ensure that you spell check any text which you edit as once the card is printed it can't be changed. Additionally save postage costs by delivering the card directly to your dad's address- simply select this option in the delivery process.
Final delivery for Father's Day cards from Moonpig is 2pm today!
Red Letter Days– If you want to treat your dad to an extra special day out then head to www.redletterdays.co.uk. Here you can purchase all sorts of days out, which will be a brilliant surprise for Father's Day.
Red Letter Days have something for everyone so if your dad's a fan of sports why not buy a tour of Wembley Stadium or a master class golf lesson. If like my husband, Alan, your dad is a car fanatic, then check out the driving experiences where dads can drive at Silverstone in a Ferrari or Lamborghini, and if your dad has a head for heights how about a Hot Air Balloon ride? The options are endless so it's sure to be a Father's Day gift that he won't forget.
The best thing about a Red Letter Day gifts is that you don't have to decide on a date when you purchase the experience. So you can give your dad his Red Letter Gift on Sunday and then organise a date to go motor facing, hot air balloon riding etc… whenever is convenient for both of you- most experiences let spectators go along and watch so you get a day out too.
Audible.co.uk – Earlier in the week I blogged about audiobooks and how they have been revived thanks to modern technology. Now you can download audiobook onto smartphones and iPods which makes listening to stories easier than ever before.
If your dad loves to read but can't because he's too busy or finds reading text in a book too much of a strain then why not load your iPod or smartphone will a selection of audiobooks for Father's Day. The website www.audible.co.uk has a huge selection of books (classics, new books and best sellers) which are affordable (around £3.99 each) and can be uploaded onto a device in seconds!
Using audiobooks as a gift is a great way of encourage dads to get back into literature, especially if he's had to stop reading because of old age or poor eye sight. And it's a fantastic way to get older dads to use gadgets such as iPods. I'd love to know if you like this idea so please do leave a comment below!
Annette's Websites of the Week- Anthropologie, National Volunteer's Week, The Lady MagazineJune 8, 2012 at 1:18 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: Annette's Websites of the Week, Anthropologie, Magazines online, National Volunteer's Week 2012, Recommended websites, The Lady Magazine, Volunteering, Websites
Anthropologie – The internet is a great place to shop because you can find brands which may not have stores located in your hometown. Only yesterday I found a gorgeous American based fashion and lifestyle website www.anthropologie.com
Anthropologie sells clothing, accessories, shoes and bags and a whole host of interior ware; bedding, lamps, wallpaper, artwork and kitchen accessories which all have an artistic and free spirited feel and incorporate a huge range of wonderful colours which really brought my attention to the site.
Anthropologie has a grown up hippie approach (that's my impression anyway) which is difficult to come across nowadays and I absolutely adore it. www.anthropologie.com is certainly a site I'll be revisiting and storing in my favourites file. Even if you don't make a purchase the site's creative layout and beautiful garments are a real delight to look at.
National Volunteer's Week- Did you know that this week has been host to National Volunteer's Week? Running from 1st – 7th June 2012 National Volunteer's Week has celebrated the thousands of people who volunteer their time and raised awareness of how you can lend a hand by volunteering.
Volunteers are crucial to charities and organisations who reply on the generosity of others, and it's not just the charities that reap the benefits. People who choose to volunteer get an enormous sense of satisfaction and a feel-good feeling because they've made a difference to a cause they feel passionately about.
Anyone can become a volunteer and the sectors of where to volunteer are endless. Schools, charities, hospitals, tea rooms, community centres, shops, local events… The trick is to pick something that you have a personal connection to or can offer practical help to.
I always think that volunteering is a great idea for elderly people and those who have recently retired. Often too much free time can lead to loneliness and in some cases depression. Volunteering a couple of hours a week will not only give you social interaction but keep your brain active and make you feel good!
For volunteering opportunities visit www.volunteering.org.uk or www.do-it.org.uk
The Lady Magazine- I've blogged about The Lady Magazine in the past because it's one of my favourite weekly magazines. A fan of the magazine, I follow The Lady on Twitter, and often check out their website to read blogs and get daily updates from The Lady team.
In recent weeks www.lady.co.uk has been revamped. They've stuck with their bold and instantly recognisable logo but updated the layout making the Home Page a lot more visual with up to date graphs, quirky retro icons and beautiful images that definitely get you clicking through the site.
I really enjoy visiting The Lady online and think that it's opened up a new readership to the iconic magazine. With fashion forward style pages, blogs from different 'Lady' readers and a range of features from, how to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee and dressing for the Ascot Races, to dealing with Alzheimer's, there is something for every Lady; however young or old.

Love Food Hate Waste- This week I've been sharing some of my favourite veggie recipes for National Vegetarian Week. On the search for veggie dishes I visited the Love Food Hate Waste website which is packed full of handy ways to prevent food and drink waste with top tips and fantastic recipes that use up food you might have otherwise thrown away.
As someone who really enjoys food I'm conscious about trying to get the most out of my groceries so LFHW's website is perfect for me. I like the recipe search tool which uses categories according to the ingredients you have and the type of meal you want to make- a quick breakfast, light lunch or a vegetarian evening meal etc…
You'll discover a huge variety of beautiful dishes which can be made out of pantry essentials and leftover, helping you save money and use all the delicious ingredients that you bought at the supermarket/grocers.
Also check out LFHW's tips on ways to make sure you don't over stock your fridge and how to control the amount of food you're cooking. I've found the 'Perfect Portions' tool really helpful for ingredients such as pasta and rice- I always make more than I need.
Royal Horticultural Society- This week Royal Horticultural Society have been busy hosting the annual Chelsea Flower Show and it's fair to say that they chose the perfect week as the sun hasn't stopped shining.
I wrote a blog earlier in the week about my favourite gardens featured at this year's show and since the RHS have handed out awards to their favourite gardens and gardeners. You can view all of the winners and nominee at the Chelsea Flower Show 2012 section of RHS website along with a host of photographs of the gardens and video footage from this year's event.
Whilst at www.rhs.org.uk I also had a nosey around the site's gardening section which has lots of information about how to tend your garden during the summer months. Including how to maintain a grow your own veggie patch, which is handy to read if your currently growing your own veggie, fruit and herbs like me.
This weekend is set to be a scorcher so why not try and get your grandchildren to help you around the garden. If they aren't convinced read RHS's top tips on gardening for the whole family where you'll find fun garden tips aimed at children, but don't forget the sunscreen.
Olympic Torch Relay- As I'm sure you already know the Olympic Torch Relay began its tour of the UK last weekend. The torch has already travelled from Land's End to Worcester and is now en route to Cardiff before it tours Wales.
Throughout it's week- long journey various famous people from the world of sport have carried the flame including Darren Campbell, Sharon Davies, Zara Phillips and Didier Drogba. Along with these sports personality's people from local communities have also had the opportunity to carry the flame, which was saluted by two elephants at West midlands Safari Park yesterday.
As the torch travels most people want to keep track of its whereabouts, including me. I've been tracking the torch via BBC News who has created a fantastic Torch Relay landing page that gives up to date coverage of the relay.
From here you can view a live video stream or read up to date reports of what's happening on the relay. The page also includes an interactive map with the route highlighted and estimated times of arrival, plus pictures from the relay so far. A great resource which I'm sure I'll be glued to next week when the torch arrived in Staffordshire.
Annette's Websites of the Week: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, BBC IPlayer and Talking TablesMay 18, 2012 at 1:18 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: Annette's Websites of the Week, BBC Iplayer, food, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, On Demand TV, Party Wear, Talking Tables, Websites
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution- On Saturday 19th May Jamie Oliver is hosting the first ever international food revolution day. He wants people to join together and share their skills, knowledge and passion for food with the hope that together we champion healthy and notorious food.
If you read my blog earlier this week you'll know that I'm a real supporter of Jamie's vision and I think that getting involved is something that everyone can do really easily by hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon in the kitchen with grandchildren and getting them to do some of the cooking- you'll be surprised by how eager they'll be to get involved.
The Food Revolution Day website is a fantastic resource for anyone who is interested in finding out more about the campaign and how you can support Jamie and his army of foodies. Get ideas for events; register yours online or search for an FRD event in your local area. Alternatively use the website to find some delicious recipes– Jamie Oliver has even featured a special collection of his own.
Talking Tables– Yesterday I blogged about party accessories from Talking Tables after seeing their Jubilee Range of cake toppers and cupcake stands- the cupcake thrones are my favourite. Although the website currently features lots of Jubilee inspired items it also has a variety of other ranges which could come in handy for birthday parties and summer BBQ's.
Specialising in everything from party ware for children's parties, weddings, anniversaries and afternoon teas Talking Tables is a great site to keep bookmarked for inspiration when you've got an event to organise.
I think that the prices online are pretty pricy, however there is something for every occasion and some of the items really are show stoppers so you could mix and match stand out pieces alongside more affordable party basics from supermarkets etc… Overall a really lovely site that will get you into the party spirit.
BBC iPlayer– I regularly use BBC's iPlayer to catch up with TV programmes which I've missed or forgotten to record. Although I'm aware that lots of people use this online on-demand service I'm always a little surprised when I come across people who've not used iPlayer or don't know what it is.
So I decided to include BBC iPlayer into my recommendations this week because it's a site which is incredibly easy to use (plus a great way to get started on the internet) and can be a handy tool if you've miss something which you'd have like to watched. I caught up with Chatsworth earlier this week after missing it on Monday evening which I'd recommend watching.
You can use the iPlayer to view programmes which have aired on BBC TV or Radio. Search the 'Most Popular' selection for shows or if you're looking for something more specific then select the relevant channel and day it was aired (or search by A-Z). Once you've found the programme click and play- it's worth noting that most programmes only stay online for a certain amount of time so be sure to check out how long you've got to watch to avoid disappointment.

Britain's Got Talent– The country seems to be gripped by Britain's Got Talent after a series of live semi-finals this week. With the 10 finalists now selected everyone is looking forward to Saturday night's live final show (ITV, 7.30pm) where the public will choose the 2012 BGT winner who will receive an enormous £500,000 and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Show in front of the Queen.
I've really enjoyed this year's show but I have to admit that I've not had chance to watch every semi-final show so I am a little behind on which acts got through to the final. Luckily the Britain's Got Talent website is packed with all of the latest news from the semi-final shows including profiles of this year's finalists, videos of their performances and exclusive interviews with contestants and judges.
So if you're planning on watching the Britain's Got Talent final this weekend checkout the website before hand to find out more about your favourite act. I'm backing the 'paw-some' duo Ashleigh and Pudsey because I can't help but adore a dancing doggy.
London 2012 Olympic Games- This summer's Olympic Games seem to be edging ever closer and this week a handful of events have taken place to ramp up the excitement including The School Games and the lighting of the Olympic Flame. Today the Olympic Orbit Tower, a steel sculpture designed by Anish Kappor was officially opened too.
The statement sculpture, which has caused a dived between people who love it and loath it, boasts a structure that is taller than New York's Statue of Liberty and a observational suite that offers panoramic views of London. I'm yet to decide whether or not I like the design- what do you think?
In addition to the opening of Orbit Tower an extra 200,000 Olympic tickets were released this morning to Olympic applicants who were unsuccessful in securing tickets for the Games during earlier ticket distributions. With tickets to most events on offer, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, I'm sure that there will be lots of very happy Olympic customers by the end of today.
Check out the London 2012 website for more information on event, venues etc…
Age UK Care in Crisis– This week's Queen's Speech to open parliament disappointed many people including those who had hoped for a change in the social care system. Instead of a full social care bill been announced the speech revealed that only a draft bill on social care would be drawn up by the government this year.
For charities such as Age UK who have campaigned for change the draft bill is deeply unsatisfying. Despite this Age UK is still steaming ahead in their campaign for change in social care. To achieve a full bill next year they need to secure as much support as possible, which is why Age UK want as many people as possible to sign up to their Care in Crisis petition.
The online petition takes less than a couple of minutes to complete and includes a full and in depth insight into the whole Care in Crisis campaign, which I believe is worthwhile supporting because it could eventually help implement crucial change to the care system that we will all use at one point or another- sign the petition here.

Naidex National 2012 has been a focus point this week because of the annual exhibition at The NEC in Birmingham. Having already posted my highlights from Naidex I thought it would be a nice idea to finish the week with a Naidex themed websites of the week.
www.naidex.co.uk – If you visited Naidex this week you no doubt came back with a list of products that you want to research online. Thankfully the Naidex website is set up with a simple A-Z category system that makes searching for products and suppliers stress free.
Along with directing visitors to everything featured at the show- exhibitors, products, industry experts- I like how www.Naidex.co.uk includes a live Twitter stream which made following the expo throughout the week easy and fun.
If you're planning on visiting Naidex National next year I'd recommend visiting the site to get a feel for what you can expect from the show- check out the printable PDF's of 'Show Features' including The New Product Showcase which I've found really useful.
www.rethinkthings.co.uk- Rethinkthings is home to one of my highlights from this year's Naidex the stylish 'Flo' walking frame. The website is full of quirky products which all have a similar artistic style to the Flo. Plus the site includes a blog that explains all of Rethinkthing's products in greater depth which is definitely worth a read.
www.lepmis.co.uk – The Orthros by Lepmis was my favourite product from Naidex 2012 because I was bowled over by how much joy the one handed video gaming joystick gave to its fans. A small but informative site, www.Lepmis.co.uk hosts a variety of different products which are all adapted to make video gaming accessible to disabled fans so it's definitely worth book marking if you're a gamer who currently has difficulties handling generic controllers.
www.mobilegarden.co.uk –As I'm sure you can tell from my Highlights post yesterday Naidex is hugely diverse so it's a delight to say that accessible gardening was also on display from The Mobile Garden who has come up with an in or outdoor gardening solution.
Their invention, a circular rotating planting tray, allows gardeners to plants vegetables, flowers and plants from their wheelchair or the comfort of a chair. It's a lovely product which I'm sure all keen gardeners will be interested in especially as summer is just around the corner. I'd recommend visiting the website where you can watch a demonstration video which explores how the mobile garden works in its entirety.
www.ihusaccess.com – The Independent Living Home Show was hosted by iHUS who specialise in creating living spaces which are accessible to you. Their website includes an impressive portfolio of work which is exquisite and shows how homes can be adapted with additional living space.
Although I know that renovation is a big step for most people we have worked with customers who've used the Bath-Knight in speciality adapted Granny Flats, our latest was featured on Grand Designs. I think the iHus website is a great one to keep on file for future options and inspiration.
Annette's Websites of the Week- Just Giving, Queen Victoria's Scrapbook and BBC's Diamond JubileeApril 27, 2012 at 2:42 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment

Claire Squire's Just Giving page– The untimely death of Claire Squires, the 30 year old runner who collapsed and died only a mile away from the finish line of last weekend's London Marathon, has dominated this week's headlines. Despite been an incredibly sad story the generosity of the public in such a sad time has been overwhelming.
Over 70,000 donations have been made on Claire's Just Giving charity page raising an incredible £811,000 (at this moment in time) for her chosen charity, Samaritans. Inspired by Claire's story I've pledge a donation myself and feel confident that it will be welcomed tribute to Claire and help both her family and Samaritans regain something positive from such a tragic lose.
Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee Scrapbook– Prior to Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee only one other monarch has achieved such a milestone, Queen Victoria who celebrated her Jubilee in 1897. To celebrate the first ever Diamond Jubilee, and the life and reign of Queen Victoria, the website 'Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee Scrapbook' has was launched this week.
The interactive site, which allows users to click through an online scrapbook, covers all areas of Queen Victoria's life including her becoming a Queen, her love and marriage to Prince Albert, the Queen's home and her empire and Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
What's so unique about the website is that all content, including official documents, paintings, audio and film clips, diary entries and personal letters from Queen Victoria, are from Royal archives which have been specially opened for people to enjoy prior to this summer's celebrations.
I'd most definitely recommend this website if you're interested in learning more about Queen Victoria and her Diamond Jubilee (a great site for grandchildren) as it includes everything from pressed flowers from Queen Victoria's Jubilee bouquet and even the royal seating plan of the 1897.
BBC Diamond Jubilee: Royal Tour Maps– Yesterday I blogged about the Queen and Prince Phillip visiting South Wales on the welsh leg of their Diamond Jubilee Tour of the UK. Throughout the coming months the Queen will visit the towns and cities throughout the country whilst other members of the Royal family will represent the Queen overseas.
On these visits The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to South East Asia, Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall will visit Australia and New Zealand and The Duke of York will travel to India.
Throughout these visits, many of which are in commonwealth countries, special tributes will made to the Queen and her 60 years on the throne. To keep track of the Diamond Jubilee globetrotting the BBC have created a site with interactive maps that documents the royal tours.
One map follows the Queen and Prince Phillip's tour of the UK and the other, a map of the globe, tracks all international visits. Each map is pinpointed with destinations where the Royal family will visit and will be updated with videos clips, photos and articles about their travels as they happen.
A great way to keep up to date with the events in the run up to the Diamond Jubilee.
Websites of the Week- National Trust, Sizzix and Face BritainApril 20, 2012 at 2:49 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: 50 things to do before you are 11 ¾, Annette's Websites of the Week, Art, Craft Website, Face Britain, Family days out, Sizzix, The National Trust, The Queen's Diamond Jubilee
National Trust- Free Weekend offer– I've featured the National Trust in my recommended websites of the week on a number of occasions now and its mainly because I am a real fan.
This weekend National Trust is exclusively opening its doors to over 200 sites in an offer which enables the public to enjoy the National Trust free of charge. Giving families ample opportunity to enjoy all of the treasures which National Trust sites behold and the chance for children to kick start their 50 things to do before you're 11 ¾ challenge.
It's worth noting that to be entitled to free administration visitors must fill in a short online form and print out the National Trust Free Weekend Voucher. The free entry voucher is valid between Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd April making for an entire weekend of National Trust fun.
Sizzix-Online Craft Store– I came across http://www.Sizzix.co.uk after seeing a selection of beautifully designed Sizzix patterned paper in a craft magazine. To my delight the Sizzix website is a wonderland for craft lovers like me as it's packed with creative ideas, products and even features a quilting section complete with patterns- need I say more?
The best thing about Sizzix's website is it's free downloadable packs which will get your creativity buds flowing and enable you to create beautiful cards, scrapbooks, gift tags, invites and everything in between.
Capitalising on The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the small matter of street parties, family gatherings and generally lots of celebrations, Sizzix have come up with a range of jubilee inspired paper that is free to download and will add a touch of creative magic to any jubilee party. I'm considering turning my patterned paper into homemade bunting that's fit for a queen.
Face Britain- Face Britain, a self-portrait art project aimed at children, lit up Buckingham Palace last night as montages of the Queen have been created with over 200,000 school children's self –portraits to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee.
Set up by The Princes' Foundation for Children and the Arts, Face Britain wanted to encourage as many children as possible to create a self-portrait and published them all in an online gallery. The deadline for submission has passed but the website is fantastic to visit nevertheless.
Bright, fun and interactive www.FaceBritain.org features a wonderful online gallery and has an interactive canvas which enables users to join in the fun and draw themselves online. But what I like most about the website is how visually exciting it is. Set out it artistic frames and filled with bright colours it's a website which will please everyone and is perfect for grandchildren.
Along with fantastic contributions from school children the site also features celebrity art work from a number of famous faces who've shown their support. View 'Famous Faces' to see self-portraits of Adele, Quentin Blake, Cilla Black and Derren Brown.
All in all www.facebritain.co.uk is a brilliant website which reflects all of the enthusiasm and creativity which so many school children have put into the Face Britain project; a site which is most definitely worth visiting.
Annette's Website of the Week- Britain's FinestApril 9, 2012 at 11:00 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
Tags: Annette's Websites of the Week, attractions, Bank Holiday weekend, Britain, Britain's Finest, Great Britain, Ideas, recommendations, Tourism website
Before Easter I did lots of research on places to visit with my family over the Bank Holiday weekend. Generally I get lots of my ideas from other people's recommendations and then look further into them online. This way I've always got a starting point rather than aimless searching for nothing in particular.
However when I was recently searching the web I came across a wonderful site called 'Britain's Finest' a website that catalogues the best places to visit in Britain. The site covers all areas of tourism across the country sharing the best hotels, B&B's, museums and galleries, gardens, sports attractions and the country's most thought after pubs and restaurants.
With so much variety and practical information it's packed with ideas and inspiration if you're trying to think up the perfect family day out or weekend away. But most interestingly its extensive content might spring a surprise on how much your local area has to offer.
I searched "Stoke-on-Trent" for ideas for those weekends when it's nice to do something but when I don't want to stray too far away from home and was astonished by how much there is to do which I wasn't aware of. For example I didn't realise how many beautiful dog friendly gardens there are in and around my home town and the amount of pottery and china factories which are still open to the public.
So with all of this in mind I would definitely recommend spending a little time browsing Britain's Finest as it could help fill your weekends away with exciting activities but also spruce up those quite weekends at home- www.britainsfinest.co.uk

Donate to defend freedom. Share this article far and wide. Resist tyranny.
Friend —
So, did you catch the Democratic debates? I did. Want to know what stuck out to me? Well, there are a few things.
One, how many of the traitorous Democrats raised their hands when the moderator asked if they would provide universal healthcare to the invaders infecting our civilization through the southern border? Seriously. Go google the question.
Two, did you catch the traitors Cory Booker and "Beto" O'Rourke signaling their abandonment of our culture, language, and history by answering "debate" questions in Spanish? SPANISH. Is there anything wrong with speaking a second language? No. I speak multiple foreign languages myself. But this is NOT some South American underdeveloped country. This is The United States. This is an English-speaking country.
And third, the suggestion that the best way to solve the crisis at the border is to decriminalize illegal entry into the US. The reasoning given (and this is not an exaggeration) was that "if we decriminalize illegal entry, then they won't be criminals and we won't have to deport them." I'm paraphrasing, but the message and meaning are clear. The rest of the Democratic field was in total, robotic agreement for the most part.
They are traitors. Plain and simple. These candidates have signaled to all that, should they gain the White House, they will dissolve the borders by decriminalizing unauthorized entry into the US, they will incentivize MORE of the invaders to come with promises of free universal healthcare should they successfully invade our land, and they will not defend our culture, language, or any other aspect of our civilization.
After all of this, I DARE any true patriot to say it's racist for us to ARREST THE TRAITORS, DEPORT THE INVADERS, AND DEFEND OUR BORDERS.
At no other time in history has a nation so willingly sacrificed itself to people who hate it and want to see it wiped off the map. And make no mistake. These people invading North America from South and Central America ARE invaders. Even the argument that they are non-violent can easily be tossed out the window. Ninety percent of girls trafficked by the invaders in order to gain US sympathies are raped by the disgusting creatures that smuggle them up to our border. Most hard drugs that the US is awash in come by way of these invaders. They send their jungle Satanists (in the form of MS-13 and other narcotic cartels) with guns to rape and murder Americans. Let's tally that up: Drugs = chemical warfare, MS-13 and other drug gangs = armed paramilitary forces, and the fact that so many of these invaders are dying trying to find sneaky ways in tells us that they KNOW they are coming illegally, which equates to forced penetration of our borders.
We should be defending our borders with lead. Secure the border and then push south to Mexico's southern border in a joint military operation. Don't build a wall. Make Mexico the wall. The mainstream news media tries to portray these invading peasants as noble refugees fleeing violence. Not a single one of the countries they are fleeing from is at war. There are no ethnic purges going on. No genocides. The closest to any of that is the crisis in Venezuela caused by the tyrannical socialists in charge there. Most of those coming are seeking to take advantage of the free gibs-me-dats (slang for welfare) being offered up by traitorous liberal progressives and their Neo-Con cohorts.
Let's take that a step farther. Even if these people were healthy, well-educated people who could speak English, the fundamental truth is that THEY ARE DISLOYAL EVEN TO THEIR OWN COUNTRIES. Why would we expect them to be loyal to OUR country? Their countries are underdeveloped because they don't work to make them better. Instead, they come here, they wave the flags of their homeland nations, they refuse to learn OUR language, they refuse to live life according to OUR values. They import their native cultures into our country, they take tens of billions of dollars in welfare, and then they call us racist.
The military won't defend our borders. The president is wishy-washy on his promise to defend our border. Republicans won't defend our border. Mexico certainly won't do its part to seriously defend our border. What are we to do? Well, fellow patriots, read on.
The Founding Fathers in their splendorous wisdom gave us two answers.
First, they gave us the First Amendment, affirming our right to challenge the tyranny of bad government with our own superior ideas. However, the fascistic collusion of Big Tech oligarchs and the Cultural Marxists of the democratic party have ensured that our speech can be silenced, censored, and punished under the umbrella of "But muh private corporation". These traitorous tech companies DO NOT BELIEVE in our fundamental rights. They have nothing but utter disdain for them, and they have the resources to silence them. The recently leaked emails, videos, and forum posts from within companies like Facebook, Google, and more prove this BEYOND A DOUBT. Now, Facebook is announcing its cryptocurrency called Libra in conjunction with numerous transnational corporations. This should be frightening to patriots everywhere.
Large multinational banks are stripping us of our ability to fund our lives by closing conservative bank accounts, refusing service to conservative organizations, and enforcing their corporate policy by pushing payment platforms (like Patreon and PayPal) to remove users they don't like. They are silencing voices critical of the destruction of our sovereignty. They benefit from this by being able to import hordes of easily manipulated, uneducated people with zero background in our values as a civilization. They are encouraging this invasion of peasants from the third world. And they are doing it for their own gain, at our expense. Invaders from AFRICA are now turning up at our southern border! That is actually happening!
They have already shoved us into the corner of a cage, and now they are beginning to shut the door.
We do have recourse, however. The First Amendment isn't the only gift bestowed upon us by the Founding Fathers. There is another amendment immediately following that one.
In the words of Thomas Jefferson the Wise, in his 1787 letter to William S. Smith…
the people cannot be all, and always, well informed – the part which is wrong […] will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. if they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. […] & what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms – the remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them – what signify a few lives lost in a century or two? the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants – it is its natural fertilizer. – Paris Nov. 13. 1787
The time for action is already upon us!
The power these traitorous psychopaths have over us is illusory. They know this, and that's why they want to replace our people with easily manipulated third world imports. They do this by subverting the meaning of words, by filling conservatives with dread at being label "racist", or any of the other pejoratives that they use to demonize us. They know that We the People are the sleeping giant in the immortal words of the famous WW2 Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. They know that if they push too hard, too fast, that they will "Awaken a sleeping giant, and fill it with a terrible resolve." Well, fellow patriots, they have pushed too hard.
They have made it abundantly clear that We the People are their enemy. They have taken sides with the invaders. They have promised on national television to tear down the border and incentivized the hordes with promises of protection from the law and free healthcare. They realize they have pushed too far, and so they unleash their Antifa dogs to hospitalize citizen journalists who would publish the truth.
Just this weekend, an independent journalist named Andy Ngo was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage by Antifa thugs in Portland. They doused him in milkshakes laced with caustic acid. They attempted to blind him. Then they piled on by the dozens to kick and beat him as he lay helpless on the ground. They are escalating actual street violence to try to keep us silent.
Awaken, true patriots. Fill yourselves with a terrible resolve to take back our nation! Get on social media. Be loud, be proud of who you are. Wake up your friends, your neighbors. Share this message far and wide. This is a fight for the mind and the soul of our nation. If we lose those, then the psychopathic Cultural Marxists, their Antifa dogs, and their hordes of invaders will take this nation by force.
The time is not only coming. It is not a far-off, distant concept that is abstract to the common men and women of our land. The time is upon us. We, as a People, have only but to lift our eyes to see that it is devouring us alive. It mocks us with sharp-toothed, animalistic malice and dares us to resist.
The time to restore our Republic is well upon us. Restore it or forever be held in shame by your progeny. Inaction today ensures that this country will not exist for your grandchildren. The simplest action that most people can take is supporting the only political party in the United States that seeks to preserve and protect our way of life. This is not a call to violence. However, it is to say that violence is inevitable if this ship isn't righted and the invaders dealt with. These invaders are a destabilizing force on our civilization. The Democrats know it. They count on it. The Neo-Cons that have lodged themselves in our government with the backing of transnational corporations don't care. The responsibility falls on We the People.
Sharing this with others and donating to the party is critical for our success in turning the tide. We are a non-profit organization. We depend on the support of patriots just like you to fund our efforts to restore the Republic. Donate what you can. Every little bit helps, and the more you give, the more we can do to defend your rights, your land, and your civilization.
Resist or lose everything,
Continue to fund our struggle against tyranny. Donation and subscription links below. Share this message with everyone you know. It may sound like a cliché, but the future of our civilization depends on it. Don't let the traitors win.

The thematical days of the Tour stop in Dublin allows everyone to get involved in volunteering according to their interest. The second day theme was volunteering for all ages, which included a workshop on EVS, so all young people interested could clear their doubts about this great opportunity. A very interesting presentation of an intergenerational project followed called: Wizards of Words Workshop carried out by Barnardos organisations. This project is an outstanding example on how older generations can share their knowledge, experience and be a great helper for children who are "little bit behind in reading". They are working together with schools, where children has limited access to book, limited life experience therefore limited vocabulary. Once the children, parents are ready to participate and the project coordinator has gathered all relevant information on the child from the school, the child has a reading class with one of the volunteers (who are always 55+ of age) and meet them 3 times a week, which is "not just reading a book to a child", but much more. Two of the actual volunteers of the project explained why he loved to participate and how much he enjoyed helping in such a natural way. There is always an amazing bond between them at the end of the school year.
Afterwards Volunteer Now, the umbrella volunteer organisations from Northern Ireland gave some insight on some of their research why people over 50 makes great volunteers. Just to mention a few point: maturity, life experience, variety of skills, availability, loyalty, diversity. They encouraged organisations to top on this age group, but also emphasized on the right approach, which would be "try before you buy", as they have the fear of pressure to commit.
The following days had great thematics such as arts & sports, development & campaigning. Here again everyone could find opportunities for volunteering in many domains. Children had great fun in participating in a Fairytale Family Dance in the Three Little Pigs fairy tale presented by the Dublin Children Museum: Imaginosity. Wednesday afternoon the traffic was "affected" by the Dawson Street, as life music was performed in front of the building and as a group of children amazed the passersby with a typical Irish dance.

Emma Stone was back on the red carpet for the premiere of 'Battle Of The Sexes' on Saturday (September 16) in Westwood, California.
We've seen Emma go from slinky in Tom Ford to this contemporary number from Louis Vuitton's Resort 2018 collection.
I'm not sure this will go down well with the majority, but I think this combo manages to deliver sophisticated, polished vibes, as the dress shirt manages to temper the flamboyant mood of the shimmery blazer.
Did Emma ace this look for you, or did she serve up a double fault?

Tonight we had our traditional dinner of goulosh and cornbread at Grandma and Grandpa Clark's house. My kids LOVE this tradition!

Hey Brown family! I stumbled on your blog through a couple of others and it was so fun to see what your family was up to. We are looking forward to this years Christmas card. Maybe we should try to get together this year and catch up on life?

The kids have insisted that I have a Halloween dinner every year too since we have moved away from Grandma. I told the kids that maybe it was too hectic to do it on Halloween, maybe we should move it another day or just order pizza, but they would have none of it. Abigail said, "That is my favorite part of Halloween!" We would have LOVED to have been there.
