It's the last week in July, which means that while summer marches on, Lausanne slows to halt. You may have noticed "closed for vacation" or "summer hours" signs up on the doors of your favorite restaurants and shops. Don't worry; by mid-August the pace will pick up again. Now is the time for picnics and summer hikes. And of course, with Swiss National Day coming up on August 1, there are still some great events in Lausanne to get excited about!
This week:
Life is Beautiful will be shown on the big screen in Mon Répos this Friday evening – and dinner options available at Folie Voltaire.
One final evening of salsa dancing in Sévelin Gardens.
On Tuesday night enjoy a jazz quartet concert in the open air theatre at the Casino de Montbenon.
Take a walk with a historian through Riponne, Rôtillon and St François. Tour is likely in French.
Still don't speak French? A free French course is being offered…on the beach! Every evening from 18:00-19:30 until August 11.
August 1:
The city will be pulling out all the stops with their official celebration in Ouchy – festivities during the day and fireworks from 22:15.
Lausanne à Table, the fabulous organization that puts together culinary themed events each summer, is bringing back their August 1st picnic in Montbenon Park. If you're looking for a day-time event that celebrates local Swiss products and is perfect for all ages, this is for you!
If traditional patriotism and family-friendly picnics aren't you're thing, all the cool people will be hanging out in the Flon's People in the City event. This party gets great reviews every year, so you won't be disappointed!

Good morning!
I stumbled upon this juice concept less than a week ago, and decided to give it a try! Based in Lebanon, these juices are a definite must-try concept; and the best part is – they home deliver!
I started off this cleanse, worried I wouldn't be able to keep up; or start craving food and instead have my money go to waste; but fortunately I was surprised when the first batch reached my door.
They're conveniently numbered from 1-6 making it super easy to split your drinks evenly along the day. Although you don't really get to pick your juices, since they only deliver fruits and vegetables that are in season; some taste fantastic whilst others are a bit more difficult to get through.
All in all, the packaging of these juices are simplistic yet creative, giving the whole concept of what your consuming, a fresh organic outlook. Their labels making it very clear and straight forward as to WHAT you are consuming, and their numbering system making it perfectly accessible as to WHEN you are consuming them.
Anyone can try this, if your willing to say no to food for a couple of days, however I can't lie, I did cheat a little and drank the ones I liked first, and got stuck with the not-so-yummy ones later on at night (not too smart I'd have to say). My favorite, is definitely the 'Green Limonata' which had kale, mint, pear, lemon and 'Carrot Boost' which had orange, carrot, lemon, cucumber, turmeric mostly because I'm in favor of a good Carrot juice and Lemonade every once in a while.
I did find it quite difficult to manage, especially since I can never say NO to a good meal, mostly on the 3rd day, when I just needed a fat juicy burger; but post Cleanse, I felt my skin developed a natural glow, and i definitely felt a whole lot healthier.
You can buy these juices separately or in packs of 6, and have them delivered in sets of 1, 3, or 5 depending on the length you choose you want your cleanse to be.
The nice thing about this cleanse, is that they follow up with you by e-mail with little notes, tips and tricks to stay on the cleanse; which I felt helped with the motivational aspect of it all.
They are a bit pricey since they do cost 10$ per bottle. They are sold at New Earth Organic Store in Achrafieh, and at Live Organic in Naccache.

This writer has been invited by De La Salle University's Mr. Ronald Gue of the Literature department to speak to their students regarding my written works for the gay community. It will be my first time to speak in front of students outside of my school UP Diliman, and I am honestly quite nervous.
It is an honor for me to be invited, hence, I have agreed to do my talk on February 19 in front of students from about four different Literature classes. What I have chosen to discuss is How Narratives Empower A Minority Group.
Having done this blog for almost a year and having written a few gay stories for film, I have received bulks of emails on how these "narratives" have made a difference in the lives of many gay men out there.
And it just illustrates that suffering among individuals coming from a minority group (in this case, the gay men) is relieved whenever their stories are re-told onscreen. The film narrative serves as an affirmation, that these gay men are not alone in their struggles with their personality and sexuality and that their most kept and "shameful" secrets are in fact shared by many other gay men.
Having witnessed this phenomenon first hand, I am just thankful that I am able to touch the lives of other gay men through the stories I wanted to share.
To you Mr. Gue, thank you for this invitation. I hope I could give justice as I represent the issues of "gay men" in front of presumably a majority of "straight" students at DLSU.

Juventus and Argentina international Paulo Dybala is a reported £90m transfer target for Premier League giants Liverpool, according to The Sun.
The Merseysiders, who are vying for a qualification in the Champions League semi-finals tonight as they defend a 3-0 lead against Premier League leaders Manchester City, have reportedly earmarked the Argentine international as their long-term replacement for Philippe Coutinho, who swapped Liverpool for Barcelona in the last transfer window. (January).
Dybala, 24-year-old, is reportedly at Reds boss Jurgen Klopp transfer list of summer transfer target to further strenghten his side for title challenge next season.
Dybala joined Juve from domestic rivals Palermo in a reported £25m deal back in the summer of 2015.
The 5ft 9in forward has since scored 67 goals in 132 appearances for the Old Lady, including 51 goals in 91 Serie games, winning two Serie A titles in the process. He helped his side to last year Champions League final against Real Madrid but the Old Lady lost a strong Spanish side.
Liverpool look set to be able to offer Champions League football next season. A strong showing in the latter stages of this season's competition would help them to lure transfer targets to Anfield.

About Cecilia P.
I am a South-american violinist and violin-music teacher who loves music, dancing, arts, nature, and animals. I am a social, kind, caring, persevere and self-disciplined person.
I started teaching 9 years ago when I was studying my Bachelor's degree. In my country, I was the teacher of 25 lovely children and youth, with whom I created my own violin studio. It started only with 3 students, and after 7 years we were a wonderful group that performed in different recitals, festivals and trips around our country. Together we learned about violin, classical music, popular music, folk music, singing, etc., but most importantly we learned about sensitivity, sharing, self-discipline, respect, creativity and many other personal skills that music helps us learn in such a joyful way.
In Boston, while doing my masters, I also had the opportunity to teach two children in English with new methods I was learning in my string pedagogy course. In addition, I have taught adults and elderly (70-72) to play the violin, and find their smiles and learning process more than satisfying. Finally, I was the music teacher in a kinder garden, and had students from 2 to 4 years old. I like to teach people with different ages because I learn from them and their different needs.
I have also had some few students with different abilities such as Down syndrome, Asperger's syndrome and Dwarfism. I cannot say I am an expert but I am open to learn from these students if I have a good orientation and support from the parents and specialists.
Right now, after finishing my Master's degree in Boston, I am living in Chicago because my husband is studying his PhD at Northwestern University. I miss teaching and sharing my love for music with others, that is why I really want to find new students that want to join me in their musical journey.
*** Lesson Details ***
I believe every person is talented and can learn music. I think that the best way to learn music and arts is from the experience, where the person can develop not only music and instrumental skills, but also creativity, originality, joy and love for music. These are skills that are needed to enjoy and learn music, but also to be a more sensitive and rounded person. My goal is to build a professional and positive environment where the person can develop his/her musical abilities as well as his/her personal skills. In order to achieve this goal, it it usually better to have the lessons in my own studio instead of the student's house. That way we can work with a complete music environment and the student can benefit 100% from the music experience.
I have learned in the process that regular practice and a consistent schedule encourages not only progress but great motivation. Also, I have found that a experience-based approach helps them keep motivated because the students learn much faster and gain a deeper musical intuition than with a theoretical and approach.
I think it is important to give the students the time to talk and share their thoughts about the music. I like to guide them discovering how their bodies feel more comfortable with the instrument, instead of telling them the "correct form". I like to make them clap, sing, move and feel the music before telling them how to play it. I like to introduce music theory and reading from the beginning encouraging them to use their knowledge about music.
In addition, I have found that following the literature of more traditional methods with scales and etudes, helps the students to develop completely in their instruments, with a great technical foundation. That is why I like to mix experience-based methods such as Suzuki, Kodaly and Dalcroze, with traditional books such as Essential Elements, Wolfhart, Kreutzer, etc.
I usually start with Suzuki, The Blue Book, and some personal material that I create for each student depending on their needs. After a while, I start to introduce some pieces of different parts of the world or different styles while introducing scales and etudes. This way I maintain the student's motivation and give them a broader view of music, while developing important skills for their instrument. Then, when the student is ready, I introduce more difficult pieces and solo repertoire.
For adults, I try to adapt my method to their particular goal in music, giving them both fun and the best level they want to achieve. I give them material that is adequate to their needs and also to their preferences.
*** Studio Equipment ***
I have several materials for children and adults. Music cards, music games, toys, puppets, etc.
I also have books to start our journey.However, the student will have to buy his/her own books once we start.
I own one 4/4 violin that could be rented for a tall or adult student. I also own a 3/4 violin for rent.
Smaller violins would have to be rented or bought.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can travel to the student's house with my instrument if it is within my travel limits (5 miles) and if it is accessible via public transportation.
*** Specialties ***
- Suzuki method mixed with some traditional books and world
- Experience with Alexander Technique, Dalcroze, and Kodaly.
These methods deal with music freedom and tension free
- Music performance work with professional musicians and
conservatory student (effective practice, musicianship, tensions,
creativity, etc.)
- I speak Spanish fluently (that is my mother tongue), and could
teach in Spanish if wanted.
- Folk dances from Peru: Marinera Norteña, Festejo, Huayno, etc.
ReviewsWrite a Review
Patient, kind, innovative and creative are just a few words to describe Ms. Cecilia. She brings her love for music into each lesson - private or group. She is full of ideas and suggestions for learning that next piece and celebrates all victories - big and small.
Cecilia taught 2 of my children for four years, and as a musician myself I can wholeheartedly recommend Cecilia as an outstanding violin teacher for both beginners and advanced students. She is an incredibly passionate and dedicated teacher who is always fully prepared and focused for every single lesson. She always has a plan for what comes next, and she systematically teaches in a very clear and organized way that is easily understood by the student. She is always adapting and responding to the needs and temperament of each student. She figures out how to motivate and bring out the best in every student. She demands excellence and high standards, and yet always shows compassion, patience and love for everyone. Cecilia is a very special and passionate musician who is fully dedicated to teaching and sharing her passion of music with everyone. You will be in very good hands with her!
Cecilia is an amazing teacher. She is able to adapt your lessons to what you need. Makes things easy to understand and makes me feel comfortable with playing. I highly recommend her for other students.
Very good instructor!
All of these reviews are very consistently themed because of her adaptive abilities.
She knows how to find exactly what you personally need to practice, and helps you find the joy of perfection!
Cecilia has been an incredible teacher - she is patient, create and has customized the experience for our daughter to meet her exactly where she is. She is also thoughtful, and has come up with creative ideas to get our daughter to practice more and be engaged. I highly recommend her!
Cecilia was an absolutely amazing violin teacher! She not only had a great method of teaching, but she would treat me not only like a student, but like a friend. She always took special time to address the issues I was having while playing, and carefully adjust my method to ensure better playing. She allowed me to rent one of her violins and gave me the best advice on everything one would need to know about caring for a violin. She even guided me through the process of bringing the violin on an airplane when I traveled. I would definitely recommend Cecilia for violin lessons (or any type of lesson!) because she is such an amazing teacher!!
Awesome teacher
I'm a violinist and teacher myself; Cecilia has helped me a lot with my playing and teaching skills, improving my technique and showing me new tricks. She has a natural flair to help you have fun with what you're doing, and classes are even better with her. She keeps you motivated and knows how to keep a clear view of the objective you want to reach, and how to reach them with clear and simple concepts. Ceciliaâs helped me a lot with my posture and playing tension free, which has improved immensely the sound of my music. You shouldnât miss out on this opportunity of having classes with her. Strongly recommended.
Excellent teacher
Cecilia is an excellent teacher and a great human being, of whom I have the best memories. One of the main qualities I see in her is that she is a very intuitive person, perceiving what the child's learning style is and what each child requieres to succed. As a teacher, she is always motivating her students, while being cheerful, optimistic, and trying to innovate. She would organize violin recitals for children ages 4 to 12 years, allowing each child to participate and feel important with their performance. Cecilia taught my daughter violin for 5 years. During that time, not only she helped my daughter in learning the violin, but through the violin, she helped her in many aspects of human development, such as to persevere and overcome her fear of public. Cecilia's ability to combine music lessons with life lessons makes her an amazingly unique teacher. I highly recommend her!
Music Performance Classes
I loved taking lessons with Ceci! I was a student in a series of music performance classes she taught and I thought they were very helpful. The classes were well organized and full of information as well as fun. She knows how to create a pleasant learning environment. She helped me with issues such as time management while practicing as well as how to use practice time to its fullest. She also focused a lot on how to play without unnecessary tension and helped me to start working on my neck and arm pain (I'm a violinist). Very helpful!
Excelent teacher
Cecilia was my violin teacher for 5 years. I started learning violin when I was 30 years old and was lucky enough to find Cecilia. She's an extraordinary teacher, always very patient and encouraging. She has an excelent technique and she's definitely a very gifted violin player. She was always a very concerned and responsible teacher. She did not only teach me how to play violin but also reinforced my love for music. I enjoyed every class with her!
An excellent teacher. By far, the best I have ever hadC
Cecilia is by far the best teacher I've ever had. Seriously, I have had teachers with more credentials and with more teaching experience (years) than her, but she is superior than them, by far. She has an incredible charisma, a great teaching methodology, and she really cares about your learning experience. As a senior violinist, I tend to ask many questions about my technique in certain pieces, and she always knows the best answer.
After each class, I just feel relax and happy because I was able to interiorized new meaningful concepts. My interpretation has improved significantly since I started my lessons with her. She helped me a great deal with my technique, my sound and my posture.
I started with her a year ago having classes face to face once a week. Then, she moved to another city and we started with the online classes that have worked just perfect. For me is even more practical to have online classes because I don't have to waste my time traveling for the classâ¦and she is as amazing teacher online as when we started, face to face.
Moreover, I know Cecilia from long ago as well as many of her past students. You can clearly see Cecilia's work in those students. They all have an impeccable technique.
In summary, I would say that if you are deciding to take violin classes and you are so lucky to have her available, just don't think it twice and hire her as soon as you can, because this professor is just too good to be true. I ensure you will get the whole learning experienceâ¦which will be fun, relaxing and, above all, high-quality.
Ceci is a wonderful human being, the best teacher for my daughter, not only taught her to play violin, also discipline,responsibility, timeliness, respect for others and to love their instrument, have a lot patience with childs.
Sharing the love of music
Cecilia introduced both of my children (6 and 9 at the time) to violin. She was their first teacher, and not only taught them good technique, she also cultivated their sense of rhythm and musical appreciation. She combines tenderness, playfulness and patience with firmness and structure in perfect proportions, helping children achieve progress step by step. I wholeheartedly recommend Cecilia as a teacher for both private and group lessons!

Una Maestra!
Cecilia es simplemente una Maestra! Es innato y muy natural en ella. Soy contrabajista y no he necesitado cambiar mi técnica, ella me ha escuchado y me ayudó a repotenciar mi performancia con conceptos muy simples. Sus ideas son tan claras que hizo sonar mi contrabajo como si fuera un profesional. Necesitamos maestros como ella.
Cecilia is simply a Master! She has a natural talent. I am a DoubleBass player and I didn't need to change my technique, she just listened my playing and helped me to 'repower' my performance. Her ideas are so clear that she made my bass sounds like a professional player. We need masters like her.
As a violin teacher, Cecilia is a total success!! My daughter was 4 years old when we started and Cecilia was very patient with her. In the four years
As a violin teacher, Cecilia is a total success!! My daughter was 4 years old when we started and Cecilia was very patient with her. In the four years Cecilia was my daughter's teacher, she always had a 100% positive and motivating attitude. In weak times, she was a moral support for the family and always gave us advice to improve our home practice with the instrument. In addition, she is an expert at organizing recitals periodicly with all her students, making them play as soloists and in ensemble, and creating a nice group of violinists of every age. This group had trips of cultural interchange around the country, where they had master classes and an unforgettable experience. All this was organized by her while she was still working towards her Bachelor's degree!
Excellent professional
Excellent violinist and educator with a genuine interest for their students to learn. She has a great connection with her students, which allows achievement grades in them. Perseverant and with a great talent for music and teaching. Strongly recommended.
I first met Cecilia while she was teaching violin to my niece. Iwas fascinated whith her caring, sweet, and patient nature while working whith a child. I liked her so much that I offer her to work at my kinder Garden (Kangurito, Lima- Perú) School, wich I am the principal. Cecilia was both the music coordinator of the basic levels and the Music Teacher. As music teacher, she taught six classrooms full of chijdren aged 2 to 5. I have only fond memories and the deepest gratitude to her for all the work.
I´¨d give her 100 out of 100 score in an evaluation!!!
Excellent teacher
I took music performance lessons with Cecilia. I am a professional recorder player and in the lessons I learned and discovered many things about how my body works and how this influences my way of playing. It has been wonderful to learn to play connected with my body and tension free! My sound and technique have improved and I can express my musicianship easier.
The lessons with her have been a very enriching experience for me as a musician. I also learned to detect the important issues I need to work in each piece and to find an effective solution. This experience has been wonderful!

Kern Richards began his musical life as a small child sitting and listening beneath the Steinway piano which was played by his musically gifted and classically trained mother. That, along with relentless reading of Webster's American English-language dictionaries and access to his father's Kay acoustic guitar set him on a trajectory to the musical place which he now inhabits.
With his Tom Waits-like gravel voice and Johnny Cash style, Kern Richards speaks to the Country Western traditional audience as well as to the rocker in us all. His songs of heartbreak, loneliness and dissolution are sung by a master storyteller with a unique sense of humor, irony and warmth.
Kern Richards has shared the stage with a diverse range of elite performers including American Folk Legend Ramblin' Jack Elliott, songwriter/producer Stevie Tombstone, banjo artist Buck Thrailkill, Country songwriter Chris Gaffney, cowpunks Tex And The Horseheads, L.A.

HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) issued Notice CPD-16-18 providing guidance on the timing of FY17 Consolidated Plan (ConPlan) and/or Annual Action Plan submissions. Jurisdictions must wait to submit these plans until they know how much money will be allocated for each of the CPD programs covered by the ConPlan.
Regarding the national Housing Trust Fund (HTF), because HUD will not know how much each state will receive until April at the earliest, states may submit a ConPlan/Annual Action Plan addressing their other CPD funds before HTF allocations are published, and submit an HTF Allocation Plan as a substantial amendment to the state's Annual Action Plan once HTF allocations are published. A state may begin to develop an HTF Allocation Plan following its public participation process but may not submit the plan before HTF allocations are published. HUD recommends states use their 2016 HTF allocation as a baseline estimate when carrying out public participation regarding the draft HTF Allocation Plan.
The CPD formula programs appropriated by Congress are the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs. While the HTF is a formula program administered by CPD, HTF monies are not appropriated but are derived from dedicated sources, currently a 0.042% assessment on the volume of new business of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Jurisdictions must prepare a ConPlan (covering three to five years) showing the public the jurisdiction's priorities for using CPD funds during that period. Jurisdictions must submit Annual Action Plans indicating the activities that will be funded each year. These documents must be sent to HUD for review 45 days before the start of a jurisdiction's program year.
HUD explains that in most years it does not receive annual appropriation amounts from Congress until several months into the fiscal year, sometimes as late as April. Consequently, the procedures in Notice CPD-16-18 apply to any jurisdiction with a ConPlan/Annual Action Plan submission deadline (45 days prior to the jurisdiction's program year) that falls within 60 days after the date HUD announces FY17 allocation amounts for CDBG, HOME, ESG, or HOPWA. Jurisdiction should postpone submitting a ConPlan/Annual Action Plan until these FY17 allocations have been announced and may delay submitting the plans until 60 days after the allocation announcements. For example, if a jurisdiction's program year starts on July 1, as many do, the jurisdiction can postpone submitting a plan until June 26.
The Notice offers jurisdictions two options regarding fulfilling their public participation obligations while waiting for HUD to announce FY17 appropriations. One option is to engage in public participation regarding a draft plan using estimated formula allocation amounts, clearly explaining to the public how it will adjust the proposed plan once actual allocations are known. Five examples are provided. The second option is to prepare a proposed plan using its regular timetable, but waiting until actual allocation amounts are known before carrying out public participation.
Notice CPD-16-18, issued on December 15, 2016, is at: http://bit.ly/2hPd0c1

pH and Conductivity Standardization Solutions
The break down of the pH sensor electrodes and the depletion, and/or saturation of the reference solution require your pH instrument to be re-calibrated. This should normally be performed twice a month, but depending on the actual use of the instrument it may be necessary to increase the intervals between calibrations. The calibration should be performed using at least two pH buffer standards. The initial calibration should use pH buffer solution 7. This will check and allow the instrument to be adjusted so its output reflects 0 millivolts, neutral, or pH 7. A second calibration using a standard solution that reflects the normal range of solutions being analyzed. If acidic solutions are normally tested, a pH buffer solution 4 should be used. If solutions to be tested are normally alkaline, a pH buffer solution 10 should be used. It is not necessary to calibrate your instrument over three standards (4, 7, and 10) unless during normal daily use of the instrument, the solutions being tested varies from low to high pH ranges. In this case an increase of calibration intervals is also recommended.

The parents' guide to what's in this game.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Scoot & Doodle is a collaborative doodle app that lets people draw together using the Hangouts feature of the Google+ social network. There are some significant privacy concerns, including video and voice chat, text bubbles, screen-sharing, and sharing videos on YouTube, so it's extremely important that kids only use the app with friends they know personally. This app could be used by families that are distant as a way of playing games together, but since it is on Google+, a social network that requires you to be age 13 to participate, we aged it at 13. To use it with younger children, parents would need to be around to monitor the use and provide the email and Google+ account. If monitored, it could be a tool to play games with distant grandparents or parents who are traveling. It can also be used for doing homework projects.

What's it about?
SCOOT & DOODLE is an app that adds a collaborative drawing tool to the Hangouts feature of Google+. Up to nine Google+ friends can work together on a shared canvas and communicate in real-time through video and voice chat to create a single piece of artwork. Scoot & Doodle comes equipped with standard drawing tools including brushes, stamps, and speech bubbles that kids can fill with their own text. Finished collaborations can be shared via email, Google+, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, or YouTube.
Is it any good?
Scoot & Doodle is a very versatile app whose usefulness goes far beyond simply doodling. Kids can play visual games like Tic-Tac-Toe or Hangman, or collaborate on homework and school projects by using the screen as a virtual whiteboard. With a robust community and plenty of ways to share finished collaborations, Scoot & Doodle is a fun, positive, and useful way for kids to engage with social media. And it can be a very powerful tool for communication for families that are distant from one another.

Search Engine Optimization April 25th, 2012
We SEO copywriters often see ourselves as a breed apart. And quite rightly so! We are not quite writers, not quite web designers but a mixture of the two. In terms of our knowledge, we are real generalists: we know something about everything. You can even get a degree in that, which is called Interdisciplinary Studies. Of course, only very few of us hold a degree in those studies, but we may as well. Unsurprisingly, because we know so much, there are some important life lessons you can learn from SEO Copywriters. I would like to take the time to share some of my own.
You may have heard the story of one of the US presidents walking into NASA and asking a cleaning operative what his job entailed. The man answered that he helped put a man on the moon. He recognised his own importance and the vital role he played in the huge cog that is NASA. And he is right. It is important to know who everybody is, what their name is and what they do. This sets you in good standing as a copywriter, because it shows you care about your clients, but it is also a lesson you can learn in life. Learn what the cleaning operative's name is, because without them, you wouldn't be able to live in the comfort you are accustomed to.
There is a beautiful story of an African American woman standing next to a broken down car in the rain. This was in the 1960s and it was not common for people, certainly not white Americans, to help and African American. One man, however, did. He picked the lady up and drove her home. Wanting to send him something as a thank you, she asked for his address. A few days later, he received a huge television, signed with thanks by Mrs Nat King Cole. Not everything in life is about making money. Sometimes, performing a selfless act will help you move on in life. Perhaps they will never be able to repay you, and that shouldn't matter because it is a selfless act. But perhaps you do some copywriting work for free for a company that is need, and thereby help to save a lot of jobs. Or, if you're really lucky, they will remember you later on in life and send lots of work your way. It pays to be nice, even if it is just in terms of karma.
As an SEO copywriter, you will come across many obstacles in your life. You may be presented with a subject you know nothing of. You may be asked to write about something you strongly oppose. You may struggle to get work in and wonder where you will get the money from to pay your mortgage. Always remember that obstacles are put on your path in order to help you achieve more. Don't blame others for these obstacles, but find a solution within yourself. At the very least, you will learn something about yourself that you may not have known before, which in turn will help you to be better at what you do.

Salt crusted potatoes might not be the first side dish you think of when you're planning dinner, but after you make them the first time they definitely will be.
The flavor combination of potato and salt is quite perfect. You get that bite from the salt mixed with the sweet of the potato. We enjoy it on potato chips and french fries, why not whole potatoes? These salt crusted potatoes come together in minutes and combine those two flavors perfectly.
I realize the recipe for these salt crusted potatoes is going to sound a little strange. But trust the recipe. It's the only way you get that salt crusted goodness on the potatoes.
We really enjoy these potatoes as a side dish to roasted chicken. There's something about the combination of the chicken juices that pairs really well with the potatoes. But I've also used them as a side dish to pot roast and cut up and tossed into a steak salad.
You could also serve these salt crusted potatoes as a party snack along with a bowl of melted garlic butter or a chimichurri sauce. I like to serve these potatoes on a dark plate (it really shows off the salt crystals.) If you find them to be too salty, you can always wipe off some of the excess salt with a towel, but I'm guessing you'll find these potatoes to be just right.
- 1½ pounds fingerling potatoes (you could also use small pee wee potatoes)
- 1½ tablespoons kosher salt
- Add salt and potatoes to a large pot and Pour 2½ cups of water over potatoes. They should just be barely covered by the water.
- Turn heat to high and bring water to a boil.
- Continue boiling potatoes until all of the water has evaporated (about 20 minutes)
- Remove pan from heat and toss potatoes onto a plate.
- Serve warm or cold.
Welcome to My Man's Belly! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about the site or if there's a recipe you'd like to see here. Have a great day.

Hell Ride:
Righteo, I need some more time at my limit because I don't like not being able to chase down riders and/or come over the top of everyone on the rollers to Mt Eliza.
We rolled out into a steady head cross, I found myself two up chatting on the front initially, then DK and Smax performed flyby that sucked the air out of my lungs. After that was chased back it was Joe Cooper's turn to kick away up the road. I went after that one, and soon found myself wondering when skinsuit/speedsuit Saturday became a thing. I'm not too sure who threw out the next attack, the bunch got a period of solid but steady tempo and I drifted back a few wheels to suck in the air. In fact the rest of the trip to Frankston blurs together in my memory, a little bit because I did nothing, mostly because we were flying along at 50km/h+ for most of it.

Despite the interview being done by Gus Van Sant, Madonna seems to be just talking at him rather than with him in the first part. She warms up when talking about her new project, a film she is directing. Can she pull it off? Can she do a Tom Ford? All signs point to a hearty No, but never count her out.
As for the photos, check this out. I love the fanboy reaction of the (brilliant) Madonna Scrapbook site: "With one photo shoot, She has wiped the slate clean. Goodbye wannabe nothings. A new process is in order. "
Finally, a bit of news confirmed: If you are expecting an album of music from Madonna anytime soon, don't.

It wouldn't be the worst for her to detach from music for a hot minute or two. Let her remove herself from the industry and find a sound that inspires her (or the future sound that Gaga hasn't discovered yet.)

You can now book a stay at former Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's island.
Ellison owns 98% of Lanai, a 90,000-acre Hawaiian island about a 45-minute ferry ride away from Maui. Ellison's holdings include the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, a high-end hotel that just reopened after a months-long renovation.
You'll find everything you'd expect from a top-end resort, including extravagant suites and facilities, a Nobu sushi restaurant outpost, luxury spas, retail, and an 18-hole golf course designed by legendary champion Jack Nicklaus.
Larry Ellison (second from left) bought the island back in 2012. The Four Seasons was shuttered in 2015, making way for a $75 million renovation, according to the Los Angeles Times. And now, it's open for business once more.

Series two of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mix and Match toys has been released, with Casey Jones, Bebop and Rocksteady. These are more toys to add to the batch of action figures which exchanges body pieces. A fun toy line that gives some of the Ninja Turtle figures a chance for a makeover. For better or worse, let's take a look at these new versions of characters who were released in the on going TMNT Action figure line. This is my review of Mix and Match Casey Jones, Bebop and Rocksteady.
Casey Jones was the first one I pulled out of costume. Looking at Casey, he's got a much different body than the original release as they had to make it bigger to take on parts from the other toys. I wish that they gave him his mask and took away the face paint for this version, though sadly they took away the mask and kept the face paint.
Bebop and Rocksteady are both great. They're bigger than their original release, which works for me. Much like how I treat Slash from this series of TMNT toys I have them standing with my normal TMNT toys retiring the tiny versions of them. They're neat because of their size. I go over the other detail changes inside the video and show a few different Mix and Match idea.
I highly recommend Bebop and Rocksteady to everyone who's collecting the Nickelodeon toys. They do stand a little taller than the original releases which makes them good for any action figure collections. Though Casey Jones I only recommend for people who are like me, enjoying the Mix & Match TMNT action figure line. He adds some fun extra pieces to throw into upcoming Mix and Matches, though brings nothing new to the table to make him stand with the other toys, if you already have a Casey Jones figure.
These are from Playmates Toys. The company that has stayed with the TMNT for the longest time, and helped make the Turtles to be what they are today. Please do take the time to check their websites:

St Peter's Lodge… the perfect environment for first class dental care
Getting the environment just right is crucial if a dental practice is to be the kind of place where patients can feel at ease from the moment they cross the threshold.
St Peter's Lodge couldn't be further away from the old stereotype of sterile rooms filled with threatening-looking equipment. Located on the ground floor of a beautiful Edwardian house in the heart of St Albans, our practice combines exceptional modern amenities with an atmosphere that perfectly complements the warm welcome you'll receive from our clinicians.
Location, of course, is important too. We're a five minute stroll away from St Albans city centre and the mainline train station, with car parking for patients available right on the premises.
Everything about St Peter's Lodge is customer-focused. Our waiting area – where we'll always try not to keep you for too long – has pleasant décor and comfortable furnishings. And once you're inside the surgery, everything is arranged to help put you at your ease, in a rigorously hygienic and welcoming environment that's built around your needs.
A practice with people at its heart
A great dental practice, of course, is about more than its surroundings. Come and visit us here in St Albans city centre and you'll find our team – from receptionists and nurses to therapists, hygienists and dentists – looks as professional as our premises. More to the point, this is matched by training to the highest standards and a willingness to listen to the needs and desires of our customers. Ours is a practice where you can always feel free to tell us what you want and expect from us!
Getting the atmosphere right is never more crucial than where our youngest patients come to see us. We're always delighted to see children at St Peter's Lodge and go out of our way to make sure they feel at ease with us. We also organise educational programmes and fun visits for children so that they grow up with positive perceptions of oral hygiene. It's the first step to a lifetime of great oral health and attractive smiles!

FRIENDICOES SECAEdit
Taken from: www.friendicoes.org/Edit
Friendicoes SECA (Society for the Eradication of Cruelty to Animals) is a registered non-profit charity (Registration no. 10188 under the Societies Registration Act 1860). We are an Associate Society of RSPCA, UK and a Member Society of World Society for Protection of Animals, UK. We are recognized and affiliated to the Animal Welfare Board of India, Chennai, India which is our national apex body. We are now almost 28 years old (date of registration: 23 April, 1979) and have been working in the city of Delhi and its environs since then. We have a sanctuary for animals in Gurgaon, 45 Kms. away from Delhi, where we provide a home to all the rescued dogs, cats and other animals that cannot be released back.
We used to run a collaborative programme for equines (providing free medical treatment for the animal and running education projects for the owners so that they can look after their animal better) with Brooke Hospital for Animals, UK from 1999 to March 2006 untill their field of operations geographically moved away from our area of work, and we had to go our own separate ways. Friendicoes concentrates on the belt between Delhi and Agra and in and around the state of Haryana where working equines abound.
1. Visit the shelter (in Delhi ) and sanctuary (in Gurgaon) and spend time with the animals.
2. Walk the dogs, play with the puppies, clean their cages, de tick them, clean them up and give them a bath, feed the puppies (you can get treats for them from home), help answer the phone in office (in case you are a regular volunteer) and help with their feedings.
1. Collect old newspapers (we require 30kgs a day), old clothes, milk tins for the puppies, biscuits or any other treats from people you may know (friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues) and who may wish to donate these stuff. You can drop them off at the Delhi shelter cum office once or twice a month and spend some time with the animals.
2. You can also help get fans and coolers donated during summers and heaters, old carpets, blankets and gunny bags during winters. All it needs is a word of mouth to be passed around your friends, colleagues and family circle.
3. Volunteers can help foster (take home and look after) puppies and kittens and find good homes for them.
4. They can also help man Friendicoes tables and stalls at fund raising and awareness events.
5. Writing articles for websites and helping with photography is another way to help.
6. Collecting stuff for the Friendicoes Yard Sales which are held every 3-4 months. The proceeds from the sales goes to help animals in need.
7. Also volunteering to attend to rescue calls on behalf of Friendicoes for puppies and kittens and birds in your area and dropping them off at Friendicoes is one way to take the pressure off Friendicoes and also help animals.
8. You can also be active in your locality and assist Friendicoes in getting all stray dogs in your area sterilized and create awareness among your neighbors and friends.
9. Helping raise funds - however small the amount, it goes a long way to help the animals.
10. Raising money for anti-rabies camps and holding them in your locality to ensure a healthy stray dog population also helps.
Come join us today in this endeavour and make it a success. For Futher Details Please contact : firstname.lastname@example.com

The Universe Is Speaking To ME!
I had three of the weirdest things happen this week within about 36 hours. I wrote an inquiry about a workshop last March. I knew a couple of people who had gone to the workshop last year and it really sounded interesting to me. I didn't hear back and actually I was busy and I forgot about it. This week I received a reply from them and my inquiry was attached but it didn't show a date in March. Instead it indicated that they had received the inquiry on June 18th. I have no idea where it has been. I guess floating somewhere in cyberspace.
Okay, so that is one of the three things. The second one was that I happened to hear that Keith Carter was in SMA and I contacted him and I had lunch with him and some of his friends. Keith will be one of the instructors at the workshop. I've always wanted to take a workshop with him but it has never worked out.
And the third one is that I had been thinking about maybe taking a photography workshop but one with more of a retreat atmosphere so I'd been looking on line the day before I received the reply from the workshop to see if anything interested me. Nothing did. They all seemed too structured. Too much travel from place to place. I wanted something that gave me time to stay put in one place and dig deeper. Something that gave me time to work with images that I made. Something that gave me time to play with some ideas and techniques. Something more hands on.
The workshop is Spirit into Matter. The whole workshop takes place in a small village near Florence, Italy in a renovated Villa. The instructors are Keith Carter, Kate Breakey and Jace Graf--all people whose work I know and admire. The other thing that some people might not like but I love the idea is that participants are assigned some times to help out in the kitchen. I hear the meals are made with local produce and that they are fabulous. So in addition to photography I'll get to enjoy a "cooking lesson" or two.
When the Universe speaks to me, I listen. I'm going!
The photograph was taken in Italy when I was in Sicily in 2015.

Fabulous! I want to hear all about it. In the meantime, if you talk to Keith (which is not the name he went by when I met him eons ago) tell him we know eachother through our mutual friend Hayes Parker. He might or might not remember me, but we were together with his wife many times. How wonderful that ya'll connected.ReplyDeleteReplies
I probably will not see him again until the workshop but I'll let him know we have a mutual friend.Delete
You are an inspiration.ReplyDeleteReplies

Oh don't you just love it when the Universe lays it out for you like this? I'm so envious of your time near Florence! One of my favorite places ever. Can't wait to hear all about it! Too, I LOVE how you embrace life and make things happen! Felipe is so right - you are an inspiration!ReplyDeleteReplies
Barbara, I'll try to report back on a daily basis. At this point I don't know what the internet situation will be. But I will keep a journal so I can share this fabulous time.Delete

HOW FABULOUS!! You are truly an inspiration!! GO, ENJOY, Take loads of fabulous captures and know you are living our dreams!!! (Under the Tuscan Sun is one of my favorite movies) Teri in CRReplyDeleteReplies

The Low-pressure Side
Thermal Expansion Valve (TXV): Here, the system changes from the high-pressure side to the low-pressure side. If you were to touch this part of the system, you'd feel it change from hot to cold.
The high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows from the receiver-dryer through the expansion valve, where it is allowed to expand. This expansion reduces the pressure on the refrigerant, so it can move into the evaporator. The valve senses pressure and regulates the flow of refrigerant, which allows the system to operate steadily, but the moving parts of the valve can wear out and sometimes require replacement.
Some vehicles have an orifice tube rather than an expansion valve, but it serves the same purpose in allowing the refrigerant to expand and the pressure to be lowered before the liquid enters the evaporator. The orifice tube allows refrigerant to flow at a constant rate and has no moving parts, but it can become clogged with debris over time. Systems with an orifice tube automatically turn the AC system on and off to regulate the flow of refrigerant to the evaporator.
Evaporator: This is where the magic happens. While all the other parts of the system are located in the engine compartment, this one is in the cabin, usually above the footwell on the passenger side. It also looks like a radiator, with its coil of tubes and fins, but its job is to absorb heat rather than dissipate it.
Refrigerant enters the evaporator coil as a cold, low-pressure liquid, ideally at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius), which is why you don't want any water in the system. The refrigerant doesn't freeze at this temperature, but it does have a very low boiling point. The heat in the cabin of the car is enough to make the R-134a in the evaporator boil and become a gas again, just like water turning back to steam. In its gaseous form, refrigerant can absorb a lot of heat.
The gas moves out of the evaporator -- and out of the passenger compartment of the car, taking the heat with it. A fan blowing over the outside of the evaporator coil blows cool air into the passenger compartment. The refrigerant in gas form then enters the compressor, where it is pressurized and the whole process starts all over again.
If the system uses an orifice tube, there will be an accumulator between the evaporator and the compressor. An orifice tube sometimes lets too much refrigerant into the evaporator and it doesn't all boil. Since the compressor cannot compress liquid, only gas, the accumulator traps any excess liquid before it can get into the compressor.
The evaporator also takes humidity out of the air in the car, which helps you feel cool. Water in the air condenses on the evaporator coil, along with dirt and pollen and anything else floating around in the cabin. When you stop the car and see water dripping underneath, it's probably the water from the AC evaporator and nothing to worry about.
We've all heard about "recharging the AC," so we'll take a quick look at that next.

Bowdu is going to be eight years old this weekend.
Even at his age, this Shiba hasn't necessarily learned how to be dignified.
He can still be provoked into a full-on Shiba 500 at the park.
Running and barking…
… and getting his ears snipped off by unfortunate framing!
No doubt he will always remain difficult, but mostly, he has mellowed into the noble dog he was meant to be. Ever proud. Ever Shiba.
Ever Bowdu.

Grace & Alan
Grace and Alan were married in Annacarty church and held their reception in Ballykisteen Hotel. They met when they were both studying in U.L. and Grace invited Alan to a house party on the way home from the Old Lodge – a house party that to Alan's surprise was taking place in his own house!
Their wedding was a fun filled day, from the humour and relentless slagging in Grace's house that morning, to the outdoor drinks reception all the way through to the photographs during the speeches. It will be a day Alan never forgets because he also passed his golf buggy driving test that day! 😉
Here is a very small selection of some of my favourite images to give you a taste of their wedding day…

Important Zoll AED Plus Pads Information
The Zoll AED Plus Pads are great accessories for your defibrillator. When you want to have quality products working for you in a life or death situation, these pads should be included in your equipment box. Here are several reasons why you should depend on the Zoll AED Plus Pads for those emergency situations.
Pre-Connect Feature
This is an important feature included with these Zoll products. When you need to use a defibrillator on someone, a couple seconds can make all the difference in the world. With the pre-connect feature on the Zoll AED Plus Pads, it's quick and easy to attach them to the machine so you aren't fumbling around and trying get it ready to use.
Accurate Diagrams
When you purchase the Zoll AED Plus machine, it comes with anatomically correct diagrams which help you know exactly where to place the pads for optimal effectiveness. This can help in a pinch but it also gives the person using the machine peace of mind in knowing that they are placing the pads exactly where are supposed to be based on the condition that they patient has.
Energy Feed
With some defibrillator pads, the edges aren't as energized as the center of the pads. This can cause the pads to reduce the energy in parts of the surface area. But with the Zoll AED Plus Pads, the energy is equally distributed throughout the surface area for optimal performance and effect.
In addition to the pads, the Zoll Plus Package has several other features that will help save lives when those seconds are vitally important. For one thing, the package includes a full 7-year warranty so if anything goes wrong during the coverage period, the company will replace it or fix the problem with no questions asked. Also included is a demonstration CD that shows you how to set up the device and use it correctly so you will feel confident if you ever need to use it to save the life of a loved one or a patient.
These are great devices to have around in a variety of situations. Whether you are a school administrator, business owner, emergency responder or if someone lives in your home who could benefit from a defibrillator, this is something that could help avoid a tragedy. Hopefully, you'd never have to use one but in the rare cases when you would need it, you could save a life.
Zoll AED plus pads Defibrillator are connected to each other to ensure proper placement on the chest of the victim. For Zoll AED plus pads get in touch with AED Today.
