Four Port Jeff Village code officers honored for saving life
When Port Jefferson Village code officers James Murdocco, Michael Hanley, Brent Broere and John Vinicombe arrived for their shifts Dec. 22, little did they know they would each play a vital role in saving a life.
The four constables were honored by the Port Jefferson Village mayor and board of trustees during a public meeting Jan. 3 for the roles they played in resuscitating with Narcan an unresponsive victim. Narcan is used to block the effects of opioid drugs and to reverse overdoses.
"On Dec. 22, 2017, officer James Murdocco responded to a call at the Fairfield Apartment complex and upon arrival, officers found an unconscious man in a vehicle," the proclamation honoring Murdocco read in part. Hanley, Broere and Vinicombe were also each given matching proclamations. "All four officers, while working together, cleared the scene and administered two doses of Narcan to the patient which resulted in bringing him back to life. The actions of these officers are well deserving of an official recognition and are positive role models in the community as these officers are not merely giving out tickets, but are there to save lives also. Therefore as the Mayor of Port Jefferson Village, I do hereby recognize James Murdocco, on this 3rd day of January, 2018 for your act of heroism and many years of public service. You are truly a valuable asset to our community and we appreciate and applaud you."
According to code Chief Wally Tomaszewski, when the officers arrived on the scene the victim's skin was a shade of purple, and as far as he was concerned he thought the man was dead. He said the actions of the officers were heroic and saved a life.
Mayor Margot Garant was visibly moved emotionally while presenting the officers with the proclamations. She thanked them for their service and dedication to the community.
Tomaszewski indicated this was not the first time members of his constabulary were called into action to save a life using Narcan, and that Port Jeff code officers are encouraged to undergo Narcan training on their own time should it be needed in the line of duty.
Murdocco and Vinicombe were honored by the board in 2016 after they responded to an opioid overdose at the Islandwide Taxi stand near the Port Jefferson Long Island Rail Road station. Garant said when honoring them during a February 2016 meeting that the officers were told the young victim was dead, and they found no pulse or respiration. Murdocco and Vinicombe each administered the anti-overdose medication Narcan and Murdocco performed CPR.
Tomaszewski also indicated the importance in code officers receiving Narcan training because in situations involving overdoses time is of the essence, and they are able to be on the scene of an incident faster in most cases than Suffolk County police. Tomazewski encouraged all members of the public to undergo Narcan training to be ready in the case of an emergency.

"Most teens aren't addicted to social media; if anything, they're addicted to each other."
– Danah Boyd, a Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research, a Research Assistant Professor in Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University, and a Fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center.
Grrrl, have I been busy! #sheworkshardforhermoney
This is the first week in three weeks that I have not been in another country or state. Was in Toronto giving a distinguished lecture in the Children's Studies Program at York University (second only to the one at Brooklyn College-CUNY which I didn't know). Then was in Ohio for a job talk and interview. Last week it was #IASPM14 in Chapel Hill where I again showed a really rough cut of the iMovie documentary that is emerging from the digital ethnography with my students at Baruch last fall. Getting lots of feedback that it inspires people but there is so much more work to be done.
In the meantime, I ran across a book that relates to my research on black girls twerking and then found that it's available for free online (probably for a limited time). If you're interested in the digital lives of teens, this is the hot book of the presses by the remarkable ethnographer danah boyd.
As a fellow at Harvard's Center Berkman Center for Internet & Society, danah boyd, has produced research on social media, social networks and its users (e.g. teens) that was also referred on this blog in the past. She recently published a book titled "It's complicated – The Social Lives of Networked Teens". She explores a range of issues, research and trends related to teenager's (and their parents use/role) utilization of new technology/social media. You can buy it but since she is interested in sharing her research with as many people as possible, the complete book can be downloaded as a PDF for free.

Tennyson (Tink) Jenkins
A Present Universal Miracle In This Triunity Of Ours Called Time
Poem by Tennyson (Tink) Jenkins
Is the Alpha and the Omega inherent in God's Triune, Creative Mind
Omnipotent always..Omniscient always..And omnipresent, ever
God simply Wills with incomprehensible power; merges Reality with Heaven
As the True cause of all that matters in our Forever.
God created an Exactness of Himself; challenged humankind to understand
How a Man of God, though of virgin birth, could also be the Son of man
But so God was and, as Jesus Christ, His miracles were So Right
That He could say; some say He did, 'I Am the Way! I Am the Truth! I am the Life!
No one can come unto the Father but through me, the Son.'
If Faith, the Substance of Things Hoped For, the Evidence of Things Not Seen; and
Hope, springing forth Eternally, seeking fulfillment in Faith's Same Things,
Cross paths, wonder of wonders, with each enveloped in Love--God's Breath,
God will, as Love's true measure, Trigger, the Spirit Manifest
God's Eternal Stream of Consciousness baptizes them.
One message in the Bible clearly identifies Triunity as the Unifying force that
positions humankind to Eternity
It lets the Physical Universe unveiled through humankind's use of mind
Portray the Energy of God as the reality of--All space; All matter; All time;
With Energy's potential motion--Space; it's actual motion--Matter; and
it's successiveness as Time, always, interacting
In the direct image of Triunity: The Cause, the Three-In-One.
This cause of Triunity--God: Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent
Wills Space or the outspreading or Primal Power, into dimensions of Forever
This potential motion of energy--Space; generates actual motion of energy--Matter
which, when combined, produces Time; the successiveness resulting as the latter;
Traverses Space, to return to the Eternal Mind of the Creator.
The physical Universe mingles from-and-to God's mind, just, like the Three-In-One
With Space, the source, like the Father; Motion, its embodiment, like the Son
With Time, from Space through Motion, as Spirit is from Father through the Son
The Spirit returns the Godhead to God, and Time returns Reality to the Mind of the
Creative One; Likewise, Triunity fashions Universals from the Cosmos' Three-In-One.
This poem, Could it be the greatest ever written? says perfectly: Perfection is a fact.
It is of God! It is His very Own! He can Only loan some back
To those crying: 'God is Perfection!' It was foretold, absolutely, by His Son
Who took mankind's sins to the grave with Him through God's Love; thus the
Three-In-One: Defined Heaven, via Reality, through God's Own Self-His Son.

One of football's greatest runners, Joe Perry was one of the National Football Leagues' original 1,000 yard rushers in a 12 game season. Nicknamed "The Jet" because of his extraordinary quick start, he led the 49ers in rushing seven years in a row and eight out of ten. He was the first in the history of the NFL to carry the ball through two successive 1,000 yard seasons —1953-54. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1969, his first year of eligibility.
Inducted into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in 1986.

Hot ChocLED!
Do you always burn your tongue on a fresh brewed coffee because you're in a hurry? Do you forget your hot drink often and experience the "special" taste of cold coffee then? The solution for this problems is called hot chocLED. Just plug hcLED to your computerUSB or to another power supply and place your drink on it. HcLED will light up. The colour shows you if your drink is cold (blue), warm (yellow) or hot (red). The heat is conducted via aluminium foil to a LM35 temperature sensor. The signal of the sensor is interpreted with an arduino that switches the light on and off concerning the actual state. The spot for placing your glas or cup is a bit soft to adapt as good as possible to the container for the best possible heat conduction. HcLED is very light, easy to use and fits in almost every modern kitchen. The USB port can be used to enhance hcLED by everybody because the hot chocLED software is open source. So stay tuned for the processing user interface or for the hcLED twitter app ;D.
Hot chocLED is the miniproject of Naghmeh, Suvash, Diogo and Alex (Group 7).

This project involved hacking into a Logitech Gamepad, which would be controlling the Super Mario game character in a computer ( emulated inside a Nintendo Game Emulator ). Instead of directly using the gamepad, wearable sensors/switches were made which connected to an Arduino, which in turn then controlled the gamepad using a hack in the circuit.
We(Group 7) fabricated two bands which could be worn over elbows or knees as preferred and two switches which were intended to be place inside shoes. Bending the elbows/knees would move the Mario in either directions, while the other two buttons performed the "Fire" and "Jump" action.
Below is a video in action…

"The Interactive Doll House"
This doll house is an interactive toy for kids, any gender, any age! The house is divided to 2 floors and 4 different rooms. Bedroom, living room, kitchen and hobby/music room. Kids can experience real life in their doll house by putting their dolls in any parts of the house. They can learn more about the real life in this way. For instance by putting the doll on the bed the curtain will drop and the light will go off. Or whenever the doll is in front of the TV, it will be on and vice versa. The same stories in the other parts of the house happens. They can listen to music as well when the doll is in the hobby room. There is a switch embeded in the bed which is connected to the servo motor ( for moving the curtain) and turn on or off the bedroom light. In the other rooms there are IRs which can detect the doll's presence. Totally it would be fun for children even for adults to play with a completely intelligent doll house…
Designed and implemented by Group # 8 (Physical Computing 2009) as their Mini project.
'Huggable Lily' is an interactive flower, made to cheer you up when you feel a little low.
The flowerpot has two temperature sensors attached to it sides which, when heated up, will start a servo motor which will push the stem of the flower upwards. Three sets of LEDs are attached to the top of the flower, which will light up, one after another, as the stem is raised.

Compose:Me is designed as a toy to help kids learn music, recognize notes and compose some simple music.
The device was designed to look like a piece of sheet music (although we did not end up drawing the lines of the staff in our prototype) where you can place magnets that function as notes. The notes are then automatically played in a loop and can be changed in realtime.
There are eight different columns where you can place notes (magnets) and you can place either one or two notes per column. We are working on increasing this number so that chords can be played. Currently the odd rows correspond to the notes EGBDF and the even rows correspond to FACE. The LEDs at the top of the columns indicate which column of notes are being played. At the bottom of each column is a switch that can change the length of the note between short or long. The overall tempo can be changed with the rightmost slider and the cycle speed of the LEDs changes to match the tempo. The device has internal speakers but can also play the music on earphones or external speakers. The volume is controlled by the leftmost slider.
After presenting this project in our Physical computing course we went to the Valand School of Fine Arts to present it at an experimental music exhibition on October 16, 2009.
We received some very positive feedback and it has encouraged us to keep on working on the device. Our first goal in improving Compose:Me is to upgrade it so it can handle more than two tones at a time. Other ideas we have are to create similar devices that can interact with each other and make Compose:Me communicate with a computer to be able to play more complex sound with it.

Hidden Cities by Daniel Fox
The first two volumes in the trilogy, Moshui, the Books of Stone and Water, were impressive. Indeed, the quality of both the narrative and the writing were, if anything, improving as the story moved towards a climax so nicely poised. So there was a moment of trepidation as I picked up the final volume. Would Hidden Cities maintain the momentum? Could Daniel Fox weave all the hanging threads together just so and leave us all satisfied?
Let's just cast a brief glance back at Jade Man's Skin. In a way, that's all about the big stuff of people going to war and a dragon bringing destruction from the skies. It reaches a high point and then, because of the typhoon, everything finds an unexpected point of balance. It's yin and yang between the earth and the sea, between the warring forces and the dragon. It's time to hunker down and wait for the rain to stop. Only then can you review where you are in the campaign and decide what to do next.
Except the moment you stop running after the enemy, all the details come back into focus. What do you do with all the wounded? Can you feed all the surviving troops? Can you defend the city you so recently captured? What about the people who've been caught up in all the fighting? Even more importantly, the personal relationships intrude. There's no time to think of your wife or lover while you're fighting. Survival is all in the moment. So when Emperor can sit down with Mei Feng, and Jiao can observe Yu Shan with Siew Ren, the realities of pregnancy and of lost love become all too clear. Such recognitions change people's emotions, perhaps even reshape them as individuals. Later, Tien can meet up with Han, that's when Han is not riding the dragon and talking with her, of course. And then there's Ma Lin and her daughters who now find themselves in service to Li-Goddess. Yes, it's always important that people talk to each other, and with their gods and monsters.
As an aside, we should note a more general point about war. From time to time, there have been real attempts at total victory. Think about the destruction of Carthage where not only did the Romans pull down the city, but also salted the earth so no-one could farm there for generations. But few military campaigners have gone beyond the literal decimation, i.e. a reduction in the opposing forces by ten percent. You always need a core of competent people to till the land and run a range of manufacturing and service industries. There always comes a point when stability is more important than the egos of the leaders who would prefer to fight on. Except fighting is addictive, just like hunting. Addicts do not stop voluntarily. So the people have to save themselves. There's a tipping point when enough of the people grow tired and hungry, where they run away or resist the call of the generals to attack or defend. If there are not enough soldiers, this forces an accommodation. The fighting stops.
In Hidden Cities, our interest must spread beyond the human. Think about a tiger who has lost his mother, but may have found another to take her place. Think about a dragon who had an agreement with the people but was betrayed by an Emperor and chained. These animals have a right to be angry, but how do you negotiate with them? What might they want or desire as the price of peace? Perhaps they might answer the question through a lesson for all of us: that every creature comes to a better understanding of the world and universe around it by coming to a better understanding of itself. What will that introspection produce? Will it keep a dragon or even a jade tiger happy enough to coexist with the people around them? And what of Li-Goddess? She has the endless power of the sea but no dominion over the land. Can a being so powerful have any interest in the ordinary run of humans, particularly when the majority has grown lax in worshipping her?
Overall, this trilogy is rooted in Taoism, a belief system that aims to reconcile yin and yang whenever possible. This is action through inaction, a relativism of inherent flexibility. In nature, the reed bends before the wind and survives the typhoon. Scaled up, this is the way of the universe. Like water, it has a natural flow, finding a path of least resistance through the land. Our eyes may be caught by the excitement of rapids and waterfalls. Eddies and whirlpools may appear chaotic. But there's always some level of order and purpose to the direction of the flow. It may only be gravity in untamed nature, but when humans organise, those who show the virtue of integrity will find a way through the chaos, identifying the potential harmonies and building on them to direct the flow. In Hidden Cities, it falls to the characters with humility, to those who are sufficiently self-sacrificing, to see a way of negotiating an accommodation between warring parties. Now it's their turn gently to adjust the situations so that those with the trappings of power may see compromise as both achievable and desirable. And because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, this may involve betrayal of long-held beliefs as individuals take sides and push for peace. Surely, it's worth sacrificing some of your principles if peace is the prize you seek.
In the end, perhaps some of the "traitors" must perish so that the innocent may survive. So where does this leave the people? Well, in the hidden cities, the next generation is waiting to be born. Before, during and after wars, relationships flourish. Soon wombs fill with new life, confirming the cycle of destruction and renewal — the persistence of life.
Although there are some alarums and excursions as generals try out new technology to attack the dragon while keeping old knowledge as Plan B to restore the chains, the overall tone of this concluding volume is deliberately muted. There has already been too much death. Despite some new military skirmishes, the final resolutions must ultimately depend on the people deciding what they want and who they should follow. Daniel Fox continues to produce some fine prose and, in the end, there is peace. Perhaps that's as much as anyone ever deserves.
Overall, Hidden Cities is the final volume in one of the best trilogies of the last few years, providing thoughtful fantasy against a background of war. Unlike other fantasy authors who leave bodies littering the landscape, this is unflinching when it comes to describing the conflict, but then considers the aftermath with empathy and constructive compassion. In the Taoist sense of the words, Moshui, the Books of Stone and Water is a well-balanced trilogy. So don't even think of picking this up as a stand-alone. You will not know who anyone is nor understand their motivations. This is a book best savoured after first devouring the first two.

Meatand1veg.com's first review from outside of London! We thought we would check out Reykjavik and most definitely had to check out what Iceland had on offer when it comes to food.
Skólabrú has amazing reviews and caters well for vegetarians. The restaurant is set back from the main drag in an converted old house. The chic but cozy furnishings work really well to create an upmarket, yet homely feel.
We had two starters, two mains and a bottle of wine. The bill came to £106.
Situated in the heart of Reykjavik this traditional Icelandic restaurant had a lot of of potential. I decided to choose a selection of traditional appetizers to start followed by pan fried duck breast with potato fondant.
The starter was very nicely presented and included; langoustine, a local fish, smoked salmon and cured goose gazpacho. All the flavours were delicious and together complemented each other nicely – my only complaint was there wasn't enough of each!
For main course, the dish was nicely presented and the duck was cooked well, I initially thought it was over cooked but actually the meat was very tender. The potato fondant looked more like a stack but tasted well seasoned, the green vegetables cooked al dente, just how I like them.
Overall I was very impressed with the food and the atmosphere was especially great at this charming authentic Icelandic restaurant – if you're in Reykjavik I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance.
There was a 3 course vegetarian menu on offer, but I opted to order off the menu as I really wanted to try the butter dough tart filled with cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, herbs, goats cheese and lingonberry compote. I wasn't quite sure of what to expect but when it came out it looks amazing. A puff pastry case filled with homemade pesto, goats cheese, tomatoes and spinach. It was to die for, the best starter I have had since writing these reviews. I wish I had have had it again for my main!
Instead I ordered the vegetarian special; mushroom risotto. It was served with slices of toasted baguette with grilled cheese. They had made the risotto from what looked like basmati rice, which is a first for me, but it was really nice. The consistency was just right, and flavoured really well. The only little criticism I had was, should it have been served with toast? It was a bit of carb overload. I think just on its own would have been better.
If you are going to Reykjavik anytime soon I would thoroughly recommend checking this place out. The food was great and the service was fabulous too! We hadn't booked a table but the host was more than accommodating, asking us where we had come from and were we enjoying our trip so far. He even gave us a discount card for if we ever came back.

Sterling Ruby is a Los Angeles artist working in sculpture, collage, video, and photography, now showing at both Metro Pictures and Foxy Production. I don't get him—but I want to. His art is too weird, and too fierce, to dismiss.
On a table at Metro lie two ceramic sculptures: a kind of still-life of mortars and pestles, and a mottled human torso, open at the back to expose swirls of color suggesting bodily fluids. Photographs of graffiti line the walls; computer-drawn drops of blood fall through them. Standing tall on the floor are two geometric totems made of PVC piping coated in shiny black urethane that hangs off the structures like frozen black rain. One totem suggests a mesh moon gate on a wooden pedestal spray-painted with graffiti. The same circular form rests on a black cage at the base of the other totem, supporting a big black square turned on the point of a corner.
If these constructions recall heroic steel sculptures by David Smith, "Recondite" is an ode to Fascist monumentality. It's an enormous stage for a pair of black, Judd-like cubes that rise almost to the ceiling; at the end of a low platform running the length of the room, an amorphous pink-and-red object hangs from the ceiling like a long, thick dripping candle. Over at Foxy Production, Ruby has built a Formica rendition of an L.A. freeway overpass marred by fingerprints and gang graffiti. It looks like a dirty white monolith by Tony Smith.
Ruby has an intriguing love/hate relationship with the minimalists, obsessively measuring himself against them while caricaturing their icons in visceral terms they might abhor. His real argument is with order and containment-—though where he's taking it, I'm not sure he really knows.

17 Great Places To Visit For Veggie & Vegan Travelers
Being a vegetarian is becoming easier and easier all the time as more products become commercially available and more shops, and restaurants cater to your needs, but travel can offer up a problem depending on the availability of certain foods and the cultural approach to cuisine. However, that doesn't mean it is impossible.
Here we look at a few amazing places for vegetarian and vegan travelers to make sure you can get the most out of your vacations without having to compromise your lifestyle.
1. Austin, Texas - USA
Texas is one of the last places many people think of when they are considering vegan-friendly places but Austin is the exception to the rule as it has opened itself up to lots of vegan-friendly restaurants in the past few years with an explosion of vegan eateries in under a five-year period, so much so that, in 2013, PETA named the city the most vegan-friendly in the entire nation.
Granted, Austin does not have the highest concentration of Vegan restaurants in America but it is a food scene that is on the up and continuing to grow, and it even hosts an annual Veg Fest. Combine that with its unique and amazing music scene and why wouldn't you want to go there?
2. Glasgow - Scotland
The friendliest place for Vegan travelers in the UK, Glasgow's veggie scene is pretty darn good which is, perhaps, not too surprising considering that the city has a history of radical politics, innovative live music and bar-based socializing. The Merchant City area has a range of fantastic eateries and cuisines from across the globe that cater to the non-carnivorous.
The main shopping areas also serve up some delightful options regarding tea rooms and pun-grub that can be scoffed by the veg-heads out there.
3. Singapore
Singapore is renowned for its food scene with fantastic hawker markets flogging street food and up-market restaurants for the well-to-do, it has all bases covered, and this includes vegan-friendly. Malay, Chinese and Singaporean cuisine all use a lot of Tofu while Indian dishes also cater to the vegetarian and it just so happens that these are all the largest populations in Singapore.
With whole districts devoted to just restaurants and food shops, you are bound to find something that suits your dietary requirements.
4. Tel Aviv - Israel
Middle Eastern cuisine has long been veggie friendly with its propensity for use of lentils, and hummus that bring about mouth-watering dishes such as falafel and veggie shawarma. However, in Tel Aviv, this has gone even further with around 1 in 20 residents describing themselves as a vegan, which has even led to local pizza chains like Domino's having a vegan option on their menus.
There is an ecology project in Tel Aviv that teaches urban dwellers how to live a sustainable and green lifestyle in the heart of the city and these lifestyle choices are taking off.
5. Taipei - Taiwan
Should you see a sign that looks like a swastika reversed on shop windows and restaurant fronts in Taiwan, do not be alarmed as it actually pre-dates the co-opting of it by far-right groups and is a Taoist/Buddhist symbol of peace and is used to denote vegetarian or vegan-friendly restaurants throughout the city.
The fact that you will see this sign everywhere shows how prevalent vegan eating is, and the Chinese symbol 'su' is also used a lot to denote this. Street food vendors and restaurants all have this sign, and the options are plentiful and delicious.
6. New York City, New York - USA
New York is one of America's most diverse cities in terms of history, ethnic communities and cuisine and being one of the most multi-cultural places in the world helps it cultivate many flavors. Raw restaurants and vegan bakeries are all the rage at the moment in the hipster areas of the city while the healthy and clean eating trends have helped solidify the market for veganism in NYC.
You can pretty much find anything you want in New York if you are prepared to search it out.
7. Portland, Oregon - USA
Portland has long been America's city of 'weird', and as such it has clung to and celebrated alternative lifestyles openly, and this includes veganism, which also relates to the city's green ethos. With a wealth of vegan, vegetarian, organic and fair-trade eateries and food stores, even the mainstream stores (the few that are around) have to offer similar options to compete in the area.
There is even a vegan mini-mall as well as it being a city for local produce and artisanal foods, so there is much quality stuff to get your hands on too!
8. Chennai, India
Being a predominantly Hindu nation with large portions of the population being Buddhist as well, around 40% of India's populace is vegetarian, and the country as a whole is widely considered the ancient birthplace of the movement, and so the whole country is pretty easy going for vegetarian diners.
Chennai, however, is where it all comes to a head with many restaurants proudly displaying the label "pure veg" on their doors which means all food served is both egg- and meat-free and South-Indian cuisine typically utilizing rice, legumes, and coconut milk. The variation of food is immense and satisfying, and a typical thali (a platter with curries, rice dishes, and bread) will set you back less than a latte from Starbucks.
9. Chiang Mai - Thailand
There are vegan restaurants everywhere in Thailand due to its significant population of Buddhists, and typically these are 'jay' restaurants that serve basic selections in a buffet style. If you want grander and more varied options of vegan food, then Chiang Mai is the place to head with salad bar concepts, organic farm-to-table, Japanese macrobiotic and all sorts of other vegan dishes readily available.
Even the non-vegan specific restaurants usually have a great range of vegan options with some restaurants even having their own organic farms.
10. London - UK
Once named the world's most vegan-friendly city, London is like New York in the sense that if you want it, it can be found and its size, scale, and multicultural makeup mean that nearly any cuisine on the planet can be found there. Neal's Yard, in between Soho and Covent Garden, and the Seven Dial's areas are both full of amazing veggie only restaurants and raw food eateries.
Hipster districts like Hackney and Bethnal Green also have a wide array of veggie restaurants, and it is the law that every pub, bar, restaurant or cafe have at least one veggie option! The famous Borough Market allows for some of the best fresh produce to be bought as well as some fantastic quality street food and stalls.
11. San Francisco, California - USA
San Francisco was the first city in the nation to adopt Meatless Mondays enthusiastically, and AT&T Park, the home of the MLB's San Francisco Giants, was the first major sports facility to provide produce for concession stands as well as an educational organic garden for kids. This approach to healthy living and sustainable consumption is a staple of the city by the bay, and on any given day of the week, you can find a farmer's market open somewhere.
These options often come in a range of cuisines including modern takes on classic American fare such as burgers and hot dogs as well as Asian, Mexican and plenty other food styles.
12. Seoul - South Korea
Temple food is an entirely vegan cuisine found across South Korea as it was born out of Buddhist beliefs and Seoul still has plenty of fantastic spots to pick this up. These beliefs have also led to the proliferation of most menus having large swathes of vegetarian options but be careful as some dishes, such as bibimbap, may contain fish or spam but will still be listed as vegetarian as many don't consider it meat. Be sure to ask your server just to be certain.
Visitors can also hook up with groups like the Seoul Veggie Club and the Seoul Vegan Potluck Group who will gladly tell of the best places to chow down on some plant-based goodness.
13. Vancouver, British Columbia - Canada
Vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free and raw foodies are all in for a treat should they find themselves in Vancouver with many places serving sturdy and filling meals aimed at helping those who need the energy to climb the surrounding mountains with many of them being seasonal menus stuffed with locally sourced produce.
Raw and vegan are both very attractive lifestyles in the city, and the food options reflect this accordingly.
14. Amman - Jordan
The mezze cuisine of the Middle East makes finding veggie food in Jordan a cinch, and the Bedouins in the area have also managed to push forward a diet of fresh fruit, flatbreads and easy to make stews with falafel and hummus also being common staples.
Salads with natural dressings like lemon and olive oil are extremely popular with the whole country being a comfortable place to be veggie.
15. Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia
The capital of Malaysia a melting pot of cultures from India to China which goes some way to explaining the hundreds of veggie or vegan specific restaurants that dot the city streets not to mention the numerous vegetarian hawker stalls as well.
Many Chinese restaurants will sell mock-meat versions of their most popular dishes so as to cash in on the vegetarian ringgit being spent.
16. Berlin - Germany
Beer and bratwurst don't lend themselves to veganism easily, but Berlin is more than just these archaic stereotypes (although, undoubtedly you can still get some excellent beer and bratwurst should you want it) and actually goes above and beyond in providing for veggies.
Some places even exclusively sell 'ugly' veggies in an attempt to cut down on produce waste.
17. Mumbai - India
Home to the largest vegetarian population in the world, Mumbai has it all as almost every restaurant, food stall and caterer will have a wealth of veggie options. Vegans be wary, though, as Indian vegetarians are mostly lactovegetarians, meaning they don't eat meat, eggs or fish, but they do consume dairy.
That said, there is still plenty about with black rice risotto being popular and dairy free kulfi and gelato options abound.

(and yes, we heard a few people say this:)
Come with me on our adventure to "La Ville-Lumière" or
"The City of Light".
We left London on a Saturday morning and took the Eurostar train to Paris, UNDER the English Channel and through a bit of the French countryside.
Oh my gosh...we LOVED the train travel!!!
I could go on and on about this...
the neatness, comfort, service, the feeling of NOT traveling in the air:)
We arrived in Paris and were met by our driver who took us on a scenic tour of the city,
hitting the high spots, before taking us to our hotel.
The architecture and history in this city is incredible, no doubt.
Even the apartment buildings are beautiful, with flowers on every window.
And for some reason, I was in AWE at the beautiful old doors on every building.
Yes...I was the crazy lady taking pictures of DOORS in Paris!:)
And the iron scroll work in all 3 countries was beautiful, too.
We went to the Louvre museum, home to the Mona Lisa:),
the Eiffel tower...and climbed up a number of levels,
all while oblivious to the increased terror threat, I might add!
Whew...we made the climb...
..so don't you think we deserved some pretty french perfume?:)
After our climb, we relaxed in the grassy park at the base of the Eiffel tower...
(Jordan thinking about life in Paris)
...and just marveled at the fact that we were really there. How incredible!
We took an evening cruise down the Seine river and while we FROZE
(we ARE from Florida you know:)
it was gorgeous!
We saw many beautiful cathedrals, including Notre Dame,
visited the Arc de Triomphe
and the Place de Concorde,
a place rich with history, unfortunately not all of it happy during the French Revolution.
This is where they used to do their "beheading".
In fact, King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were killed here.
But it's really pretty now, filled with fountains and statues.
We saw the Flame of Liberty, a life-sized replica of the torch on the Statue of Liberty given at the time of their Centennial. However, now it is commonly referred to as "Diana's Flame" since under this sculpture is the tunnel Princess Diana was riding through when she was in the fatal car crash.
We took the Metro
to the Paris Flea Markets
Two of my favorites...the amazing frames
and the crowns, of course!
and visited the Paris Opera House,
which was one of my favorite spots of all.
(Taylor dreaming of the Paris Ballet at the Opera House)
It was just magnificent!
(Actually, I thought maybe the Phantom of the Opera would appear any minute:)
We strolled down the Champs de Elysse
and since one of the main things we wanted to do was to relax at
a sidewalk cafe like a true Parisian, we did just that!
and they have quite a few!)
While we enjoyed Paris and can't deny the history and beauty of so much of it,
between London/Paris/Italy...
it was lovely but not our favorite.
Maybe if we had ONLY visited Paris but since we didn't...
This SHOCKED me since it was the ONE place I wanted to visit.
It was a big and very crowded...more like NYC.
I'll leave it at that.
Would I go back???
Yes, definitely.
There is way more I would like to see.
But I'm not in a hurry.
Although when I look at photos from our trip like this...
I might just change my mind.
(photo...by Taylor)
As for those so called "rude" French, I didn't get that impression at all.
If you're nice...most of them are nice. Just like here.
But unlike Italy, where they fall over backwards to understand or help you understand,
and London, where they smile and ask if they can help,
it was almost like they had more of a take it or leave it attitude.
Not real warm and fuzzy, you know?
It doesn't make them rude...but I bet that's how some take it.
Our next trip to France will most likely be to the Provence area,
which I'm told I will love...the area and the people:)
But I must say, the churches all had welcoming signs on their doors...
Okay, on to the sites...again.
The street markets were awesome...and so French!
And the croissants and baguettes...AMAZING!!!
I could LIVE on their fresh croissants in the morning.
(Yeah...no dieting on this trip!)
But no dieting needed...because you WALK like crazy!!!
We were warned MANY times about pick pockets, especially near the flea market.
I get it now. I was prepared though and made sure everyone else was. Phil kept money in his FRONT pocket and I had a small bag slung across my body and the girls kept their phones and any money in their front pockets also.
But I did catch one pickpocket hit me on the back of my jeans,
saw him hit Jordan...than Phil and then Taylor very quickly,
all while I glared at him and said out loud to "watch out for that guy, he's trying to pick pocket".
DO NOT mess with me buddy!:)
Maybe it was my glistening watch that made him think I had something to steal.
Hahaha...joke's on you!
It was my $8.00 Jacklyn Smith/Kmart special bought just for this reason!!!
Okay, and here I wasn't going to ramble.
Bottom line, if you ever have a chance to visit Paris,
it is worth the trip, at least once.
I wish I could show all of our pics as there are so many amazing ones.
(photo by Taylor)
Next stop...Roma!
And those Italians are VERY warm and friendly.
Cute, too...not that I cared.
But my girls MIGHT have noticed:)

The only reason the Health and Human Services Department pre-emptively called off this scheme is that former New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg succeeded in inserting a proviso that required the Class program's reality to match Democratic promises as a matter of law. If HHS couldn't provide "an actuarial analysis of the 75-year costs of the program that ensures solvency throughout such 75-year period," it couldn't be legally implemented.Of course, this was always obvious. Paul Ryan was laying out the case when Obama invited the GOP up for a White House summit on health care. Obama ignored him then, but the President can't escape reality and so we got Friday's announcement.
In other words, HHS had to prove that the Class program wouldn't go broke the way it was designed to—and actuarial analysis is a matter of math, not politics. In a 48-page report that HHS submitted to Congress Friday, the department concedes that it is literally impossible to create any kind of long-term care program under the law's statutory text in which revenues match expenditures. Such a plan would cost as much as $3,000 per month, which no one would ever buy.
The HHS gnomes even considered "features deviating from or going beyond a plain reading of the statutory language" that its lawyers didn't think could pass legal muster, and they still couldn't avoid violating the known laws of mathematics despite 19 months of trying. HHS lawyers also said the government would have to warn enrollees that the promised benefits weren't contracts and could be abrogated to "dispel any claims that the Class program had misled the public or had encouraged reliance on its programs under false pretenses."
The WSJ suggests the GOP start pushing a Gregg-like amendment for the whole health care bill.
Our suggestion is for a Gregg-like amendment that applies to the entire health law and not simply Class. If reality can't match the rhetoric that accompanied the bill—about fiscal responsibility, bending the cost curve, keeping your health care if you like your health care and all the other false promises—then, legally, it should be repealed like Class. Call it a truth-in-advertising clause. ObamaCare would collapse in a heartbeat.The Democrats would have to argue that they're against requiring the bill to do what they claimed it could do.
Heck, how about such an amendment for all government programs? That would be one way to make sure that programs did what the politicians assure us that they can do. If, after a set amount of time, it is clear that the program isn't operating as advertised, they'd have to pull the plug. How many programs would be left? Such a proviso might force politicians to actually craft programs that are viable. Imagine that.

Over the past year, the provincial government has improved its standing on issues, particularly crime and public safety.
Calgary, AB – The United Conservative Party (UCP) is currently the most popular option for voters in Alberta, the Insights West "Alberta Government Report Card" has found.
The online survey of a representative sample of Albertans also shows that the province's residents have a better opinion of the way their current government has dealt with specific issues and decisions.
Issues and Governance
More than half of Albertans (53%, -17 since an Insights West poll conducted in December 2016) say the economy and jobs is the most important issue facing the province, followed by health care (8%) and housing, poverty and homelessness (also 8%).
At least two-in-five Albertans are satisfied with the way the provincial government is managing five issues: the environment (46%, +9), crime and public safety (41%, +13), climate change (41%, +7), education (41%, +4) and energy and pipelines (40%, -1). The rating is lower for health care (38%, +7), accountability (37%, +10), housing, poverty and homelessness (35%, +13) and the economy and jobs (33%, +10).
A majority of Albertans are satisfied with the provincial government's decisions to reduce the small business tax rate from 3% to 2% (58%, =), ban political donations from corporations and unions (54%, -3) and increase the minimum wage (53%, +6). At least one third are happy with the government's policies to reduce Alberta's greenhouse gas emissions (43%, +6), deal with pending pipeline projects (41%, -1), handle relations with Alberta's First Nations (37%, +8), deal with Fentanyl and drug abuse in the province (35%, +9) and the implementation of a carbon tax (34%, +6).
If a provincial election took place tomorrow, the United Conservative Party (UCP) would garner the support of 47% of decided voters. The governing New Democratic Party (NDP) is second with 33% (+6), followed by the Liberal Party at 10% (+5) and the Alberta Party at 7% (+5).
The UCP is particularly popular among Albertans aged 35-to-54 (53%) and those aged 55 and over (57%), while the NDP dominates among those aged 18-to-34 (46%).
The UCP retains 92% of the voters who supported the Progressive Conservatives in the 2015 provincial election, as well as 79% of those who cast a ballot for the Wildrose Party.
Across the province, two-in-five residents (40%, +3) approve of the way Premier and NDP leader Rachel Notley is handling her duties. The numbers are similar for UCP leader Jason Kenney (39%), but lower for Liberal Party leader David Khan (25%).
All three party leaders post a negative momentum score this month, with Notley at -29, Kenney at -14 and Khan at -11.
"One year ago, 61% of decided voters in Alberta said they would vote for either the Wildrose Party or the Progressive Conservatives," says Steve Mossop, President of Insights West. "The current level of support for the UCP is 14 points lower, and their rivals have improved their standing."

Delicates Fight Regulars as Laundry Comes to Life in This LG Spot
MJZ's Carl Erik Rinsch Directs a Laundry Battle
Editor's Pick
Move over, the Sharks and the Jets. It's the Delicates and Regulars that face off in the street, via some clever VFX, in this spot for LG, promoting its Twin Wash system.
The spot -- which highlights that with the new machine, you can put on a delicate and a regular wash at the same time -- has the laundry come to life without human bodies inside it, in a street fight that evokes "West Side Story," as we're reminded via the voiceover that your delicates and regulars have never gotten on. Shirts, pants and dresses all take part in some beautifully choreographed dance/fight sequences, before all the clothing falls in a heap and we're taken back to reality, with a woman loading the clothes into the two separate tubs.
MJZ's Carl Erik Rinsch helmed the spot; according to creative agency Hill Holliday, the production took four months, and involved CGI, motion capture and digital renders, with dancers and stunt actors performing the laundry battle. Digital Domain was responsible for the special effects.

Local government reform will once again be one of Governor Mitch Daniels' top priorities in the upcoming legislative session.
Daniels highlighted four elements of local government reform: eliminating conflicts of interest, reducing nepotism, consolidating township government and providing the option of having a single county commissioner. Though those reforms have all failed in past sessions, Daniels says he's more hopeful in 2012.
And while local government reform has been a focus of his for several sessions, he says that jobs and economic opportunity are always his top priority…and Right to Work is the key this next session. And he says the issue can't be passed up because it might be contentious.
"We can't skip a day let alone a legislative session. We got too much work to do in this state," he says.
And he says the legislature shouldn't lose sight of other issues because of Right to Work. Daniels cited passage of a statewide smoking ban, addressing online sales tax and finding additional means of compensation for victims of the State Fair stage collapse as measures that could have bipartisan support.
But House Minority Leader Pat Bauer says if Republicans push Right to Work, it will dominate the session.
"I think it's just out of place to go…to try to do this contentious Right to Work for less without health care bill," he says.
Bauer says Right to Work will not bring the jobs and economic opportunity the governor says is his number one goal.

When was the last time climate change led to something good? For Emily Rochon, it brought something she was never expecting: love.
Rochon, a 30-year-old policy coordinator with Greenpeace International, was stationed in Amsterdam on a global coal campaign and volunteered to spend some time in Brussels as a lobbyist. During her first week there, a colleague invited her to attend an organized night out with some "friendly Belgians."
Over drinks, she struck up a conversation with an environmental activist, 36-year old Bram Claeys. "We actually got into a bit of a fight," Rochon recalls. "I mentioned that I had used a space heater to keep warm during the winter when I lived in Rhode Island, and he was horrified. I thought he would never want to talk to me again."
She was wrong. Shortly after their first meeting, Claeys confided to a friend that he thought Rochon was "spectacularly beautiful." Two months later, they met again for dinner when Rochon returned to Brussels. "The evening never ended," Rochon says. Claeys proposed last April and the couple is planning a green wedding for next year.
Finding love is never easy— and when one's list of desired traits for a potential soul mate includes things like "loves composting" or "has a low carbon footprint," the pool of eligible partners shrinks dramatically. On the other hand, the environmental movement has always lent itself to group volunteerism (e.g. park clean-ups, canvassing, etc.) and coalition building — fertile, if unintentional, ground for budding relationships. And with the advent of eco-networking events like the internationally popular Green Drinks, sustainability-minded individuals are, more than ever, finding opportunities to connect over a shared passion for the Earth.
Like minds on otherwise conservative campus
Take Savannah Smith, 22, who met her boyfriend of three years, 25-year-old Jaban Richards, while they were paired up as water quality testers through an environmental science club at Oklahoma State University. Although Smith was dating someone at the time, she quickly realized that Richards was a better match. "OSU is a really conservative campus and is behind on a lot of green issues," Smith says. "So it was great to finally find someone who cares about the world in the same ways I do."
Similarly, love blossomed between 23-year-old Douglas Smith and his fiancée Kathan Teepe, 21, over shared composting duties in the environmental studies house they lived in during college at Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania. "By complete chance we ended up as next-door neighbors in the house," says Smith, who now calls Teepe the "love of my life."
A bevy of websites such as Green Passions, Eco Dater, Earth Wise Singles and Planet Earth Singles have attempted to augment the world of eco-romance by offering e-dating services geared toward environmental activists, vegetarians and outdoor enthusiasts.
'Carbon neutral love,' anyone?
Unlike most dating sites, many of these services incorporate green philanthropy into their matchmaking. Green Singles, which began in 1985 as a community newsletter and moved online in 1996, dedicates 5 percent of profits to groups like Greenpeace and PETA. Similarly, the newly formed Green Speed Dating, which bills itself as a site for "carbon neutral love," donates participants' $25 entrance fee toward solar energy projects in Nicaragua. And while a quick search on Green Singles for men age 25 to 35 seeking women in New York City yielded a mere six results (four of which had no photograph), the company's impressive success story testimonials indicate that online eco-love is, indeed, alive and thriving.
So what happens when someone is lucky enough to find a match?
Eli Zigas, 25, had always looked for partners with whom he shared "strong mutual interests." So when he met Savanna Ferguson, also 25, at a conference for recipients of the Morris K. Udall Environmental Scholarship, he was off to a promising start.
Their first official date, a hike on Teddy Roosevelt Island in Washington, D.C., blossomed into a relationship built around shared sustainable experiences: a six-day research road trip to West Virginia for Savanna's senior thesis on mountaintop removal coal mining, a cross-country biodiesel bus tour they took with other Udall Scholarship alumni and, most recently, a six-month trip around the world where they hiked and worked on two sustainable farms. "I remember on the bus tour feeling like, at the end of the day, I could be my full self with her," Zigas says.
Plenty to talk about
Unlike Zigas, Rochon had dated all types of men from corporate attorneys to software engineers — but never an environmentalist. "I was worried that we might never talk about anything else," she says. While she admits that, these days, green topics tend to "dominate at the dinner table," she appreciates being with someone who so deeply understands what a stressful day in the climate policy trenches feels like.
Of course, living with a fellow eco-warrior also has its challenges. "The biggest fight Bram and I ever had was over whether or not to buy a fan during the summer," Rochon says. "He argued it consumed too much electricity. I said that I cannot help save the planet if I don't get a good night's sleep."
In the end, Rochon got the fan — because when it comes to relationships, compromise is often the most sustainable resource of all.

"There comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of Champagne." ― Bette Davis
Wine Harlots are gearing up for our favorite awards show The Golden Globes, where the Champagne flows freely, and thus anything can happen, and oftentimes does. The hosts for the 70th annual awards are the sublime Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, who in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter observed, "When you get a bunch of people in a room who don't eat much, and you give them one drink, it gets good fast." And getting your favorite actors good fast is courtesy of Moët & Chandon, who have been the official Champagne of the Golden Globes for 21 years. The wine that will be flowing with be Moët & Chandon Imperial, and Fey and Poehler have a few drinking game suggestions that will have you as tipsy as the award winners.
- Drink any time an actress cries during a speech
- Drink any time you see a person actively not listening to someone onstage
- Drink any time someone says, "I didn't prepare anything!"
- Any time someone thanks Harvey Weinstein, eat a meatball submarine.
- Take off an article of clothing anytime they show Judi Dench or when Maggie Smith wins.

There's only one way to prove how awesome these buns are. Photographic evidence.
Exhibit A:
Puffy, airy, soft, delicious.
And Exhibit B: the recipe.
I took another stab at the vast amount of internet Tapioca Buns, and was intrigued by this version of Tapioca Cheesebuns. And it was the best spray and pray I've ever attempted.
- "Brazilian" Tapioca Cheese Buns
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (I used salted butter and just didn't put in salt)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3/4 teaspoon table salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups tapioca starch (or flour, but I used starch)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- heaping 2/3 cup grated Parmesan, Romano, or aged Asiago cheese (I used cheddar. Mmm.)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Exhibit C: Why you should always follow the real recipe the first time.
On the left: the second batch. On the right: the first attempt.
And now I'm sad because even though I made 2 batches within 48 hours, all of my cheesebuns are gone. When I make my next batch, I'm going to hoard all of the cheesebuns.

We love the house system! We love the culture of togetherness that it brings to our school, with students of all ages interacting daily, informally mentoring one another and forming lasting friendships. -Academy Parents
While traditionally a key piece of English schools (especially English boarding schools), the house system has also come to be a common aspect of school culture in many classical Christian schools.
House systems vertically integrate students. Without such integration, each class often develops its own identity and culture. While this is natural and good in many respects, classes can develop cultures different, distinct, and separate from other classes. These identities are driven not just by the personalities of those in the class but by the natural inclinations and aptitudes, both academic and moral, pertaining to ages and stages in development.
Thus, while students bond together, they maintain a separation by age level. The first, a sense of natural leadership, service, encouragement, yes, even admonishment, from elder to younger. The second, a sense of natural reception of encouragement and service and a striving for emulation of those qualities of Christ-like leadership from younger to elder.
Among the benefits of this type of arrangement are:
- Camaraderie among all levels and ages of students
- Cultivation of responsibility in the leaders
- Opportunity for the strong to be patient with and assist the weak
- Opportunity for younger students to cultivate respect for the older ones

text: China's military budget will exceed combined defence spending of rest of Asia-Pacific region over next five years [EPA] China has announced that it will boost military spending by 11.2 per cent this year, in a move likely to cause concern about Beijing's rapid military build-up and stoke regional tensions.The increase was announced on Sunday by Li Zhaoxing, the spokesman for China's parliament, and will bring official spending on the People's Liberation Army to 670.3bn yuan ($110bn) for 2012, after a 12.7 per cent increase last year and a nearly consistent series of double-digit rises across two decades. "China's limited military power is for the sake of preserving national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity" - Li Zhaoxing, Chinese parliamentary spokesman China's public budget is widely thought by foreign experts to undercount its real spending on military modernisation, which has unnerved Asian neighbours and drawn repeated calls from the US for China to share more about its intentions.Li said the world has nothing to fear, and the money spent on the PLA paled in comparison with the Pentagon's outlays. "You can see that we have 1.3 billion people with a large land areas and a long coastline, but our outlays on defence are quite low compared to other major countries," Li said before the annual session of the National People's Congress, the Communist Party-controlled legislature that will approve the budget."China's limited military power is for the sake of preserving national sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity," said Li, a former foreign minister. "Fundamentally, it constitutes no threat to other countries."Budget 'tops $100bn'Asian neighbours have been nervous about Beijing's expanding military, and this latest double-digit rise could reinforce worries in Japan, India and Southeast Asian nations."China's military capabilities plus its creeping assertiveness, its new kind of aggressiveness in the region, I think those are causes for concern," Richard Bitzinger, a military expert and senior fellow at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, told Al Jazeera. "I think what's most significant, for me at least, is the fact that they finally topped $100bn in defence spending." China's growing military capability has been a growing concern among Asian countries in recent years Bitzinger said the "ultimate cumulative effect is that it has basically propelled the Chinese into the second largest defence spender in the world, behind the United States". Obama has sought to reassure Asian allies that the US will stay a key player in the area, and the Pentagon has said it will "rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region". "China shares its land border with 14 countries; it used to make sense that a country in such a position maintains strong conventional forces," said Kazuya Sakamoto, a professor at Osaka University in Japan who researches international security. "But in this nuclear age, it does not really make sense China, a nuclear-armed country, continues to build up its military at such a pace." Obama's proposed budget for the fiscal year of 2013 calls for a Pentagon base budget of $525.4bn, about $5.1bn less than approved for 2012.China's defence spending was 1.28 per cent of its gross domestic product in 2011, while the US and Britain both devoted more then two per cent of their economies to their military forces, Li, the Chinese parliament spokesman, said. Japan and China have disputed over islands each claims in the East China Sea; Vietnam, the Philippines and other nations have challenged Beijing over claims to swathes of the South China Sea that could be rich in oil and gas.

LAUREN Goodger has revealed she is "in agony" just three days into her intense exercise regime.
The Towie star is currently on a thirty day workout programme in a bid to get down to a "size small" for the summer, and she is already feeling the burn of her hard work.
Taking to her Snapchat this morning, the 30-year-old said: "My muscles are killing me I'm literally in agony."
However, never one to give up, she added: "But it's day three today so I'm not stopping, another full day of training and clean eating."
Lauren has been open about her battles with her weight and after losing four stone in 2015, she gained weight again last year as she was "addicted" to Pop Tarts.
Now she's back to a size 10-12 but is keen to shrink further before the summer comes.
Last week Lauren claimed that pictures were making her look bigger than what she is, and took to Instagram to write a lengthy post explaining that she was made to look different "facially and body shape wise."
Posting a picture of her medium size dress, she wrote: "Everyone asking what size my @silkfred dress is in my picture today as they being confused by pap pics… which make me look different facially and body shape wise.
"I'm not saying they have been messed with but they certainly shot in some sort of way to achieve such poor quality of a photo."
She went on: "So my dress is a size Medium which in there sizing is 10-12 it fits so comfortably with room and falls right.
"I am currently 10-12 I have boobs and bum I'm still doing my fitness despite what the mags say.
"It's not something that ever stops, a goal doesn't stop so it's something that I'll always be doing which is reaching new goals and training and dieting I do go up and down like normal women do!
"So for anyone asking @silkfred can confirm..happy shopping 😘💗 new goal size is get to size small 😂."

Service Technicians Name Snap-on Best in Five Categories in 2011 Frost & Sullivan Survey
Snap-on Sets Preference Record in Three Categories
KENOSHA, Wis., Sep 23, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE:SNA), a leading global innovator, manufacturer, and marketer of tools, diagnostics, equipment, software and service solutions for professional users, was once again the overwhelming choice of service technicians in the 2011United States (U.S.) Automotive Technicians' Choice: Evaluation of Automotive Tools. In the survey conducted by Frost & Sullivan, Snap-on® products were chosen the overall best brand in hand tools, tool storage, scan tools, power tools, and pneumatic/air tools, and set a service technician preference record in three of those categories.
″Snap-on is honored once again to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan and automotive technicians for designing and manufacturing the most innovative, productive, repeatable and reliable tools in the world,″ said Tom Kassouf, president of the Snap-on Tools Group. ″Our deep connections to our customers, strengthened through the reach of thousands of Snap-on Tools Franchisees, provide advantages in developing the products they need to improve their efficiency and productivity. Based on the results of this survey, we are achieving our goal of meeting our customers' expectations. We thank all of our customers for their ongoing support, loyalty and input on how we can continue to deliver unique productivity solutions.″
For the sixth consecutive year, Snap-on was the number-one selection among service technicians in the hand tools category. The 75 percent of service techs who picked Snap-on as best brand represented a record high for the category since Frost & Sullivan began conducting the survey. Snap-on far outdistanced the second ranked brand, which was chosen by only eight percent of those surveyed. An example of Snap-on's continuing innovation in hand tools is the Wire Stripper/Crimper/Cutter (PWCS7), a popular hand tool among technicians today. Its compact design works well in confined areas such as under the dash or within electrical service enclosures. Technicians appreciate the ease-of-use in tight places, the serrated gripping nose and the precision-ground stripping holes.
As it has for every year since the survey started, Snap-on was rated first when it came to tool storage. In 2011, a record 68 percent of service technicians rated Snap-on the best brand. The next nearest competitor was favored by only 12 percent of the respondents. Snap-on's industry-leading Clear Coat Series offers the highest shine finish ever created for tool storage. Designed to add depth and a mirror-like gloss, the Clear Coat enhances performance with superior resistance to harsh chemicals, chipping, scratching and abrasion. The clear top coat allows the base color to remain intact under the toughest shop conditions. In the event of minor wear, the top coat is easy to refinish, keeping the tool storage unit looking as good as new.
Snap-on also far outranked the competition when it came to scan devices. With a record 62 percent choosing Snap-on over the next nearest competitor (16 percent), Snap-on was the number-one choice of professional service technicians for the sixth consecutive year. The Snap-on SOLUS Ultra(TM) is the latest example of cutting-edge technology in this category. This full-function scan tool boasts a ″steady-charge″ battery, best-in-class seven-inch widescreen display and touch screen operation. SOLUS Ultra(TM) provides enhanced coverage for 40 makes and OEM-specific coverage for the new systems techs are servicing, including hybrids, TPMS, steering, body controls, EVAP, clean diesels and more.
Forty-nine percent of respondents ranked Snap-on as the best brand when it came to power tools, an increase of seven percentage points from the 2010 results. The nearest competitor in this category was chosen by only 11 percent of surveyed technicians.
In only its second year as a category, Snap-on was the pick once again when it came to pneumatic/air tools, with 44 percent of service technicians naming Snap-on as their first choice. Snap-on's latest innovation in pneumatic tools is the PT400 Series of die grinders. These classic tools now provide more power and speed, improving productivity in the repair shop, while giving technicians the comfortable and durable performance they would expect from Snap-on.
″Since Frost & Sullivan started researching U.S. automotive technicians with regards to the types of tools and diagnostic equipment they use, Snap-on is the one name that has stood out above all other brands,″ said Frost & Sullivan global director Tonya Fowler. ″To be voted 'overall best' year after year indicates Snap-on's continued commitment to meeting the demands of its customers, and as being a leader in innovative productivity solutions for U.S. automotive technicians.″
