Survey: Millennials' views of religion, media increasingly negative
What may surprise some, however, is that Millennials tend to have a more positive view of most major U.S. institutions than their older counterparts.
When it comes to financial institutions, large corporations and labor unions, a larger number of Millennials believe these groups have a positive effect on the country than older generations, according to a survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center.
Additionally — and perhaps more importantly for this age group — Millennials reported having a much more positive view of colleges and universities in relation to older generations. Seventy-three percent of Millennial respondents believe higher education has a positive impact on the country, compared to just 64% of Gen Xers and 59% of Boomers.
It's not all unicorns and sunshine, though.
In two important areas, Millennials have grown increasingly pessimistic — namely, their views on religious institutions and national media.
Just 55% of Millennials responded positively about their perception of religious institutions — an 18% dip since 2010. This represents an important shift, as older generations are now more likely to view religious groups positively. Sixty-two percent of Gen Xers are more likely to view them positively, and 67% of Boomers. This marks the first time that Millennial perceptions drop below that of older generations.
This corresponds with a November 2015 report from the Pew Research Center that suggested Millennials were less likely than other age groups to believe in God. About half of Millennials reported believing in God with absolute certainty, compared to about 70% of Boomers.
It's not just religion — Millennials are growing increasingly pessimistic about the news media, too.
When asked if national news media had a positive impact on the country, only 27% responded favorably — down from about 40% five years ago.
They're not alone in their view of the media, however — their views are now almost on par with that of older generations, which were also down from 2010. Gen Xers responded at 26% favorability, with Boomers coming in at 23%.
The survey was completed by the Pew Research Center between Aug. 27 - Oct. 4, 2015

"At almost each block, beside the men standing in line, bodies of. persons are lying. These are the victims of the night that have not lived to see the day. Even yesterday they were standing numbers at the roll call and today they lie, lifeless and motionless. Life is not important at the roll call. Numbers are important. Numbers tally. How horribly they are looking, as if returned from the war. These are the marks of yesterday's work."

Here at Pacific Fertility Center, we believe in proper diagnosis and treatment of both male and female infertility. By using state-of-the-art fertility treatment, we can help couples and individuals start families and realize their dreams. We have helped countless people throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
A number of women who come to our practice are often affected by a condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Let's consider the basics of PCOS and then look at what treatments may be best to address the condition.
What Is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
PCOS is a disorder of the endocrine system that affects women of reproductive age. The condition leads to hormonal imbalance, which can cause problems with your period, alter physical appearance, and make it much more difficult for you to become pregnant. Many women develop small cysts on their ovaries as a result of these hormonal imbalances, hence the name of the condition.
How Common Is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
PCOS is rather common. Some estimate that up to 10% of women who are of reproductive age are affected by PCOS.
What Causes Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
The exact cause of PCOS is still trying to be determined and understood. In general, many think that PCOS has a genetic component, and it may be more likely if other women in your family have been affected by PCOS. High insulin levels have also been linked to PCOS.
Signs and Symptoms of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Common signs and symptoms of PCOS include the following:
- Irregular menstrual cycle
- Excess facial and body hair
- Adult acne
- Weight gain
- Hair thinning
- Changes in mood
Be sure to discuss these issues with your physician should they arise so you can be tested for PCOS. From there, treatments can be discussed.
Treatments for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Treating PCOS per se often involves lifestyle changes that promote wellness. This could include changes to your diet and a moderate exercise regimen. By improving health, weight, and wellness, the symptoms of PCOS may be improved. Drugs that improve insulin resistance and lower insulin levels may also be considered.
Fertility Treatments for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
In terms of improving fertility while affected by PCOS, many specialists prescribe birth control pills or fertility drugs that can help adjust hormone levels and regulate a woman's menstrual cycle. In vitro fertilization (IVF) may also be considered if the fertility medications alone prove ineffective.
Is Fertility Treatment Necessary?
Not necessarily, but this can vary. Sometimes a woman's fertility is improved simply from lifestyle changes that promote a healthier diet and more exercise. If this does not prove successful, the use of fertility drugs or IVF may be considered.
If you are affected by PCOS and have not been able to become pregnant despite lifestyle changes and lowered insulin levels, that's where our fertility specialists can help. We'd love to discuss these matters with you in a supportive and informative manner.
Contact the Team at Pacific Fertility Center
For more information about PCOS and how we can help you start the family you have always wanted, be sure to contact our team of fertility specialists today. The team at Pacific Fertility Center is here to help you make smart choices about your fertility options.

Everleigh awoke, blinking against the first rays of sun tickling her face.
Instantly she was wide awake.
Today was the day. THE day. Her and KC's wedding day. And Heath's too. And the sun was shining. The promise of a perfect day.
Sitting up, she looked around her old bedroom at her parents' home.
According to the old tradition, she and KC had spent the night apart, he at their home in Newcrest, she at her parents' home.
She had always loved her bedroom and as excited as moving in with KC in a home she and her daddy designed together may have been, moving out had been tough on Evey. She missed her parents, her brother, her home, the old neighborhood and the fact that most of the rest of her beloved family was just minutes away from here.
She got up, got dressed and as soon as she opened the door to the hallway she could already smell the coffee and pancakes, heard her parents' muffled voices and laughter from the kitchen downstairs. Pulling the door shut behind her she felt happy and anxious.
As she descended the stairs she caught her dad dip-kissing her mom, which made her smile. The first signs of wedding jitters dissipated instantly.
"Oh, good morning sweetie! How is our little bride-to-be?" her mom said when she noticed her.
"Excited. Nervous. Famished." Evey said smiling, kissing both parents.
"Breakfast is almost ready. Would you get your brother, honey?" Katie said.
Evey ran back up the stairs and knocked on her brother's door.
"Yeah?" she heard his drowsy voice, an odd voice these days, somewhere between his old voice and a new, deeper, manly one.
"Breakfast sleepyhead!"
"Not hungry. Tired."
"I am coming in!" she warned, grinning.
"No!" she heard him stirring inside, probably quickly putting on whatever clothing was laying on the floor next to the bed.
Evey had already opened the door.
"Gawd you are annoying! I bet KC is on a flight far away from here by now."
"Nope! KC LOOOOOOVES me, just like I looooove you, my adorable, sweet baby bro!" Evey gave her brother a big, purposely wet kiss on the cheek, he pulled away and rubbed his cheek.
"Argh! You're gross!"
Undeterred Evey pulled her brother into an embrace which he reluctantly let happen, frowing.
"Breakfast now! If you are not downstairs in 2 minutes I am coming back!"
Everleigh had opened the door and on her way out heard
"Okay okay, I'll be right down."
Breakfast was fun.
Everybody reminisced about funny childhood moments, and there was a lot of laughter.
After everybody was done, all helped clear the table, still laughing, teasing.
Until Katie suddenly said something that gave both Everett and Everleigh a sting in the heart, causing both to look at each other.
"I can't believe that after tonight, my baby will no longer be Everleigh Rose Cameron, but Mrs. McCoy."
"Oh my sweet girl! You will always be my little girl, my little Evey, no matter the last name or how old you may get." Everett quickly assured his daughter, or probably more himself too.
"Daddy!" Evey started crying, Everett pulled her into his arms, comforting her.
"Ummm…. may I go back to my room before I start growing boobs and throw up all over?!" Josh asked, making puke noises.
"Josh, quit being so vulgar! Today is a BIG day for your sister!" Katie told him firmly.
"I know, I have seen some of the BIG bills! Knowing my luck, there won't be any money left for a car for me when the time FINALLY comes."
"Joshua Liam Cameron! A) You are not even quite 14 and B) You are not to old for me to spank you!"
"Yeah, mom, as if. I'll be in the shower, meeting the guys in the park in a little bit."
"Oh no, you won't! We have to get things ready for the wedding!" Katie reminded him.
"And I need the shower first!" Everleigh said.
"What the hell?! Mom – I do not even have to do anything for HER wedding other than show up in a friggin penguin suit and behave, according to YOU! And sis – YOU moved out, so I get the bathroom first." He addressed the last part at Evey, who started running for the stairs, where he arrived at the same time.
The kids began shoving and trying to keep each other from going up the stairs first.
"KIDS!" Katie reprimanded, but only got one brief look by both before they continued up the stairs, jockeying for position.
"And we have a downstairs bathroom too!" Everett called out, then realized both kids had already disappeared upstairs.
"I have NO clue how my mom and dad managed four children at the same time." Everett moaned, directed at Katie.
"Me either. And they keep adopting and fostering, I swear, whenever Josh is off to college, I will run through the house naked and not pick up a single dish or piece of clothing for DAYS." Katie grinned.
"Tell me more about those plans…" Everett caressed her cheek.
"I will. AFTER our daughter's wedding tonight."
"Our daughter's and that creep's. I cannot believe that I am basically paying for some New Breed vampire weirdo and his odd bride." Everett growled discontent.
"Sam? Odd? I don't find her odd at all. Very down to earth. I spent lots of time with her regarding the flowers for the event. She and Evey get along so well. And you know Evey has this thing with collecting oddballs and rebels to 'save' them. It's actually proof of a great character, to help those who need it most. You should be proud of your daughter." Katie smiled at him, her head cocked.
"I AM proud of my little girl, but for other reasons. She is smart, diligent, a go-getter. I am not proud that she spent her teen years sneaking around with a criminal and a dangerous vampire and who knows what else. Remember the trouble all that caused her – and us! Not to mention the fact that she is marrying that criminal tonight. Oh well, at least he came around. Just wished he had a real job. What is going to happen when she gets pregnant? Will he watch the baby while she works?" Rett shook his head at the mere imagination.
"Honey, that is not our problem. If they need help, we help where we can. It's called being parents. We need to let our babies leave the nest and stand on their own two feet at some point." Katie told Rett.
"We both work full time! How are we supposed to help with …" Everett was interrupted by someone barreling down the stairs loudly, then Josh came into view, sounding upset
"DAD! Your daughter used up the last of that shampoo/conditioner two-in-one shit. I bought that with my own money!"
Everett sighed.
"Joshua! No cursing! Use mine this time, until I get to the store to get you a replacement!" Katie told him.
"I really do not know how mom and dad did this." Everett sighed as he sat down on a chair, defeated.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Melbourne?
Dental Implants are the closest you will ever get to having a natural tooth again. They are an innovative and convenient option to dentures. A dental implant is a better, cost-effective, and a long-lasting solution.
A dental implant is a procedure where titanium based sturdy screw is placed in the prepared sites inside the jawbone to replace missing teeth. After the recovery period, the bone grows back to the implant surface and adds the strength to hold this implanted tooth firmly to the jaw. As it looks very similar your natural teeth, it fits seamlessly, so that there are no uncomfortable smiles for you.
Not many people are aware that in addition to replacing the missing tooth, dental implants also help minimise the affects of oral diseases. Sunshine Dental Group offers quality dental implants at the most affordable cost.
Usually your general dental professional possesses the expertise to perform a dental implant. You do not need to see a specialist straight away if you are looking to get a dental implant done. Engaging a dental specialist to perform your dental implants will incur more cost than what is needed to carry your treatment through. Increasing number of dental clinics have general dental practitioners who are experienced and specialised to perform dental implants. These general dental practitioners can offer you the optimal treatment owing to their specialized knowledge and experience.
Cost of Dental Implants
Dental Implants in Australia are usually very high. This leads to people postponing their dental treatment and look around for more affordable options. Below are the general dental implants costs in Melbourne. Please be advised this is just a general outline and individual costs may vary on a case by case basis.
1. Full Dental Implant including full price fixture and crown costs about $2850 in Melbourne
2. An implant fixture by itself costs about $1500
3. An implant crown by itself costs about $1350
As part of your initial consultation, your dentist will conduct a thorough dental examination, take X-rays and photographs of your dentition to arrive at the correct course of treatment and the exact cost it would incur for you.
Benefits of Dental Implants
1. Similar to Natural Teeth
2. Possess advantage over other techniques like bridging as no need to remove the adjacent teeth and damage the existing tooth structure
3. Do not slip out of mouth like ill-fitted dentures

Today I decided to do a little reading to find out more about the Saints related to Christmas. Of course I found most things to be written about the most well-known: St. Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Nicholas. As I read more and looked to less familiar sites online, I discovered some writings about the "Christmas Saints". These are the main Saints with feast days during the advent season. There are saints for almost every day in the Catholic calendar, but only the "major" saints are considered Christmas Saints. AS best I can tell, their feasts are celebrated during advent in part because of the important work of these faithful servants. For today I picked one to find out a little more about, Saint Francis Xavier.
Saint Francis was born in 1506 in Navarre, part of modern-day Spain. He was the son of an aristocratic family, but much of their wealth and stature was lost when his father died and the Catholic Spanish forces invaded Navarre. Francis moved to Paris to study and was ready to become an academic as his family had planned. Instead, he joined with a new friend to devout his life to missionary work. He was good friends with Ignatius of Loyola and with 5 others they would form the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits. In Paris on Montmartre they took vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. From France he would move first to Venice and then on to Lisbon. There he would begin his real life's work as a missionary. He took out to bring the word to the Peoples of Asia and those Portuguese living in the empire. He based his work in India and preached to the poorest of the poor. He lived among them and shared their food and housing. Much of his work was with lepers and the very sick. His work moved him into Malaysia and then Japan. In Japan he would convert the first Japanese Christian. From Japan he planned to move into mainland China. Unfortunately he caught fever and died before making the journey. Saint Francis is said to have converted the most people to Christianity since Saint Paul. His work with the masses was heavily partnered with music. Francis put the verses of study to local music to help the indigenous people hear the message.
"What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" (Matthew 16:26) These words from Jesus are believed to be the ones that caused Saint Francis to devote his life to faithful mission work. He is included as one of the Christmas Saints because of his tireless efforts to show all people the joy we receive with the arrival of the baby Jesus. He led a life of pure sacrifice. Sacrifice is leaving yourself behind at times for a greater good, the good of prayer, the good of helping someone in need, the good of just listening to another. The greatest gift we have is our time. Francis gave his to others. Pray for his intercession during the advent season if you want your time spent in advent to bear fruit long beyond the season. He is the patron saint of Japan and of all missionaries.
St. Francis

Batouly Camara leaves Kentucky for UConn
Recommended Video:
Playing close to her New York home and suiting up for the 11-time national champion UConn women's basketball program made it clear where Batouly Camara wanted to land after deciding to leave a Kentucky program riddled with departures.
Camara drew some interest from UConn when she was at Blair Academy but the 6-foot-2 forward was committed to Kentucky. After a freshman season when she averaged 5.1 points and 4.3 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game, she was one of six players who left a program in disarray. Now she joins former Duke star Azura' Stevens and ex-Georgetown standout Natalie Butler as players who have transferred to UConn in the last 24 months.
"We developed a great relationship with Batouly during the recruiting process a couple years ago so we already knew what a great kid she is," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement. "She comes from a great family, is an incredibly hard worker and has outstanding ability. I can't wait for her get to Storrs."
Camara had a couple of advantages over a typical transfer because she had some contact with the UConn coaches during the recruiting process. One of her coaches at Kentucky was former UConn star Tamika Williams, who also left the program after the season ended and was recently hired as an assistant coach at Penn State. Williams, a member of two national-championship teams with the Huskies, was able to give UConn an accurate assessment of what kind of player and person Camara was during the season the two worked together.
"I am extremely excited and thankful for the opportunity to join the UConn family, Camara said in a statement. "This is an incredible opportunity that I do not take lightly. I can't wait to get to campus this summer to meet my new teammates and create lasting relationships on and off the court."
Camara had a career-high 11 rebounds against UNC Asheville in the first round of the NCAA tournament. In a loss at South Carolina Camara had a career-high 14 points to go with nine rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot in 25 minutes before fouling out. She also had eight points, nine rebounds and two blocked shots in an overtime win against Tennessee.
Both Camara and Stevens will have to sit out the upcoming season due to NCAA transfer regulations. Stevens has two years of eligibility remaining while Camara has three. They will team with former Georgetown star Natalie Butler, who will be a senior during the 2017-18 season, to give UConn three post players who didn't begin their collegiate careers with the Huskies.

I was glad when I saw Bryan's initial post (at Home Theater Blog) on the Mini so similar to my own and I think that's what drew us together on this adventure. Already we've heard about the Mac Mini getting installed in cars and there is a forum dedicated to the development of a standard media center user experience.
The Mac Mini is primarily targeted at PC users with iPods by all accounts, but the Mac (OK and PC) enthusiasts are jumping at the chance to purchase a low cost Mac we all know to be a highly capable, multimedia focused system. Initial critiques of no digital audio out and a lower than desired based RAM standard are easily passed by with some creative thinking and of course a few extra dollars. My current brainstorm as I've noted elsewhere includes the following components:
Current Plan
- Mac Mini – Faster model, but just 512MB…debating on super drive needs, it might just be nice to have the option.
- Apple composite/S-Video adapter – direct to my 34″ Toshiba HDTV via Composite Connection
- M-Audio Transit to enable digital audio out to my stereo
- Griffin just came out with the Firewave which is another digital surround sound option
- iTunes for Audio – nice!
- I can either use the eyehome for video playback or instead just go with VLC, Quicktime or Mplayer. Pop in a DVD and it's on!
- I just discovered a great new remote from Macally that allows for remote mousing as well as simple App control.
The Mac Mini may just be the first machine in a line of consumer electronics focused computers — those that easily fit in the living room, get cleared by the wife approval factor, and of course are as reliable as your current stereo components. I look forward to brainstorming ideas on how we can take advantage of this great machine together. The adventure is just beginning!

Sorry have been so long in blogging but I have had very serious back surgery and I just couldn't get back to this right away. I have come a long way now and maybe I can get back in the groove, If I can get my pictures uploaded again.Just wanted to show you first ,the last quilt I finished hand quilting.It is the end of all the star blocks we swapped a few years back. I really like these setting blocks of Courthouse Square. This is all Thimbleberries.
Now a little more about my surgery. I was surprised to get this going so quick. Then when they got in it was a lot worse than the Dr. expected. It involved all the lower vertebrae from 5 down. He ended up putting in a rod, screwing vertebrae together and putting in what they called 3 cages which were filled with bones and would , we hope, meld in with the other bones.
I am still using a walker but can stand good and have taken a few steps. I just started what will be a month of more serious Physical Therapy. Hopefully will be able to drive in a couple weeks.
I have not felt like doing anything. I spent one week in the hospital and the rehab as I had no one at home to take care of me. Then I had bladder problems and the day I was suppose to go home the Dr. noticed my blood count had gone down and gave me 2 pts. of blood. That made me feel much better. Now I just want to get out and sit in the sun but I can't get down there. I need to get this mess of pictures in a place that I can upload them. I finished the last Kids Quilts and delivered it today. Had a picture if it and one of the Jelly Roll quilt on the board in the setting I'm using.
Enough and probably more than you wanted to know. Hopefully will be back sooner than before.

In search of skinks and geckos
On Christmas Island , our captive breeding of blue-tailed skinks has been incredibly successful - we now have over 414 blue-tailed skinks and 168 Lister's geckos. The captive populations are split between the national park and Taronga Zoo, as a safety measure against any on-island disasters.
To house our growing reptile populations we're building eight predator-proof exclosures with a grant received from the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife – there's plenty of room for growth as the exclosures will hold up to about 1000 skinks.
Meanwhile we've been able to confirm that two small populations of Lister's gecko remain in the wild, plus a good population of giant geckos. We've also had anecdotal reports of forest skinks and blue-tailed skinks on Dolly Beach so we've set up monitoring equipment to take a look. It will be great to get evidence that our reptiles are in a healthier state than we had thought.

Peter Hitchens on Lewis.
Steve Donoghue reviews Daniel Swift's Shakespeare's Common Prayers: The Book of Common Prayer and the Elizabethan Age.
From John Stubbs' review of John Drury's new biography of George Herbert: 'By then Donne was the dean of St Paul's and was finding new self-definition in a venue that demanded preaching "loose as the wind, as large as store" to fill its vast Gothic chamber. Herbert's path, on the other hand, lay towards minimalism, the quietness of retreat.'
A book by Laura Mooneyham White: Jane Austen's Anglicanism (on Google Books). Reviewed here.
'Is there an Anglican culture? Anthony Trollope and the Barchester novels.'
From a review of Hermione Lee's Penelope Fitzgerald: a Life: 'The family included Quakers, Ulster Protestants, Wesleyan Methodists, Evangelicals, Anglicans, Anglo-Catholics and one famous Catholic priest, Mgr Ronald Knox. Fond of all (or most) of them, Fitzgerald decided that schisms were pointless and that all religions were really one, but also that faith was essential for life.'
An article on Rose Macaulay: '"Oh dear, if only the Reformation had happened differently": Anglicanism, the Reformation and Dame Rose Macaulay (1881-1958)', by Judith Maltby, appears in The Church and Literature. This volume also includes 'Jesuit Pulp fiction: The Serial Novels of Antonio Bresciani in La Civiltà Cattolica' by Oliver Logan.
I haven't yet read Macaulay's Towers of Trebizond but I've found these choice quotations from it online:
Then he stopped laughing, and said in the voice one uses when a friend has been killed by a shark, "You heard about poor Charles?"
I went on musing about why it was thought better and higher to love one's country than one's county, or town, or village, or house. Perhaps because it was larger. But then it would be still better to love one's continent, and best of all to love one's planet.
"Take my camel, dear," said my Aunt Dot, as she climbed down from this animal on her return from High Mass. The camel, a white Arabian Dhalur (single hump) from the famous herd of the Ruola tribe, had been a parting present, its saddle-bags stuffed with low-carat gold and flashy orient gems, from a rich desert tycoon who owned a Levantine hotel near Palmyra… I did not care for the camel, nor the camel for me, but, as I was staying with aunt Dot, I did what she bade me, and dragged the camel by its bridal to the shed which it shared with my little Austin and, till lately, with my aunt's Morris, but this car had been stolen from her by some Anglican bishop from outside the Athenaeum annexe while she was dining there one evening.
I wonder who else is rambling around Turkey this spring. Seventh-day Adventists, Billy Grahamites, writers, diggers, photographers, spies, us, and now the BBC.'Between 1991 and 1999 D.M. Greenwood produced a series of 9 'Ecclesiastical Whodunnits' centred on the character of Deaconess Theodora Braithwaite. D.M. Greenwood is in fact Dr Diane M. Greenwood who, after teaching classics, took a position as what she described as a 'low-level ecclesiastical civil servant'' in the Church of England.
Philip Hensher on the centenary of Barbara Pym's birth: 'She has her revenge: on her 100th birthday, all her books are in print, and every one is loved. We Pymmians toast her, even if we reflect as we raise our glasses, like Dulcie Mainwaring, that "there should have been wine… but she drank orange squash".'
'Pym's world is inhabited by an eccentric cast of winsome curates, pompous vicars and canons, enthusiastic students, vague professors, badly dressed clergy wives, aging men who live with their cranky mothers, bored civil servants, crotchety librarians, "splendid spinsters," dotty retirees, professed agnostics, titled nobility, "distressed gentlewomen" and discreet homosexual couples.'
Barbara Pym and the Sermon: 'If the sermons reported in the novels fail to satisfy her most reflective characters, a consideration of Barbara Pym's own long-standing interest in John Henry Newman may offer insight into the kind of sermon that would have satisfied her and her creations.'
Rev. Richard Coles, formerly of the Communards. 'Former popstar, BBC presenter and parish priest Reverend Richard Coles talks to Caspar Melville about faith, doubt and dachsunds.' 'When he applied to train for the priesthood, the church's medical officer asked if he had taken non-prescription drugs and, if so, which ones. ''I only knew their street names, and he only knew their pharmacological ones. It was a very, very long phone call.'''

Tehillim/Psalms 5.4,9

I sometimes pop in (not often enough) to read some of the psalms you have illustrated here Cecilia – there is so much peace in this one. Thank you for posting.

Thank you for stopping by, Martin. I'm glad this post brings peace. Not many people visit this blog, but my hope is to share some of the inspiration I receive from the Psalms. Blessings to you. 🙂

Hi, My garden was growing, now everything is trying to learn how to swim!!! In the past week we have had over six inches of rain!!! We have two gardens and the one is lower so that is where my plants are swimming. We may have to replant some potatoes if they rot because of standing in water for so long :0( We are covering the strawberries as they are calling for frost tonight and tomorrow, I really don't want to loose them this will be my first year to pick and they are looking really good and have berries already hanging on.
Here is our suggested theme and sketch, I love flowers and decided to put that in the center of the card the flowers have a vellum overlay on them that had the small silver hearts on it. After I finished it I thought I should have used a strawberry set that I have and put three n at different stages of growth. Oh well maybe I'll make that later. Thanks for stopping, if you didn't come from the Try Stamping site you should go an see all the designers cards they are awesome!!!

North Carolina beer featured prominently in national media outlets when Charlotte hosted the Democratic National Convention, including Raleigh-based Lonerider Brewing crafting the "official beer" of the CNN Grill. The CNN Grill — a full-service, invitation-only restaurant CNN operates alongside the conventions. The campaign called for something thematic in the names of CNN brews on tap. As the host of the Democratic Convention — renominating Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama — you could get bottles or draughts of Peacemaker Pale Ale displayed prominently behind the CNN Live Stage.

Villa Christel Reviews
Excellent. Will definitely be back
We spent two fabulous weeks at Villa Christel. The house is spacious: there were 5 of us in the first week and 7 for the 2nd week. Plenty of room for everyone. The pool is wonderful - and kept immaculately clean - and the outdoor space is great. Well equipped kitchen with everything you could need and a good BBQ outside. A very peaceful spot with amazing views, but still within easy reach of the sea. Lakis, the owner, is always on hand to help. The one thing that would have made it better would have been more comfortable mattresses, otherwise this was a wonderful holiday and I would highly recommend it!
We had a fantastic holiday at Villa Christel. This beautiful villa has been finished to a very high standard with spacious rooms, fly screens at all windows/patio doors and everything provided. The villa is easily accessed, is very private and is in such a quiet rural area with absolutely stunning views. It was a very kind gesture of the owners who brought wine and sweets when they came to welcome us. A very nice touch. We would,have no hesitation in recommending this superb villa and Agni Travel. We intend to book with Agni Travel again.
Villa Christel is the most perfect place to stay, the property is very well appointed with wonderful views across the valley and out to Latisi and the sea. Lots of local walks through the countryside and incredibly peaceful. A short walk/drive to a local supermarket or drive into Polis where there are plenty of bars and restaurants as well as well stocked supermarkets. Latsi has many marina located restaurants that are reasonably prices with excellent food. We will be booking the Villa Christal again.
Astonishing new and clean villa with all the luxury you need within reach. All rooms have their own bathroom and a large outside with several places to catch sun or shade. A small supermarket near by and a larger one in Polis. We had a cold start (end of April) but temperature came up fast and we were able to use the swimming pool almost all days. We really enjoyed our 2 weeks Cyprus. Thanks for the care taking Christel!
brilliant! The villa and the owners were excellent. We found the mattress too soft for our liking, but that is a personal thing
Stunning. Words cannot describe this villa. Its a James Bond feeling! How did we become so lucky. This villa is just AMAZING! THANK YOU. THANK YOU!
We had a great time staying at Villa Christel! The house is amazing, with all the necessary items for vacation. It is ideal for group of friends that need to chill out. Is is situated close to Akamas area for the adventure seekers.
10 days in august A real paradise far from noise no neighbourg A fantastic view sun all the day long because of the two orientations The house is new and very well build Everything is fonctionnal Crhistel and his lovely husband are so good people and very helpful If you ask they will tell you the story of the house The agni agency is very prompt and serious We hope come soon again in the next summer without hesitation Very good prestation Thank you

No need to look beyond the local college basketball team to reach the conclusion that trying to figure out how the Egyptians built the pyramids presents no tougher a challenge than attempting to determine why NBA general managers make the draft choices they make.
Oh well, at least the talent evaluators finally appear to be getting in on the secret that the Morris twins, Marcus and Markieff, both shape up as safe picks worthy of the lottery. While they remain all over the place on mock drafts, they're both moving up. Yet, the mock drafts might not reflect just how highly their stock is soaring, according to one man who earns his living influencing draft choices.
"I won't be shocked if both of them end up being top 10 picks," the man said. "Everybody loves them."
Lot to love. Neither twin ever bobbles a ball. They're both great passers. They're Philly-tough, don't have any whine-and-stew to their games and bring magna cum laude-worthy basketball IQs to the court.
As the twins' stock appears to soar, former teammate Josh Selby's looks to be headed in the opposite direction. The grapevine that had Selby has a possible lottery pick knocking teams dead with individual workouts appears to have soured on the guard whose lone season at Kansas was marred by NCAA suspension, injury and a prolonged shooting slump. Some mock drafts have him tumbling into the middle of the second round.
What's up? Maybe scouts are a lot like Kansas fans. The more they saw of Selby, the less they liked him. Or could it be, as one NBA insider wonders, that one team desperately wants Selby to drop to them and has spread rumors that they think he's a bust waiting to happen?
That sort of thing happens. I once had breakfast with a few baseball scouts and the youngest of them asked the oldest what he thought of a player. The veteran proceeded to list red flag after red flag: He puts way too much strain on his shoulder with that delivery. He grips the ball tighter in big spots and once a choker, always a choker. Etc. Once the other scouts left, the veteran shared that he loved the player and routinely throws competitors off the scent when he really likes a player.
Projecting a college cager to the NBA can be tough, but not as tough as NBA general managers have made it look in recent years when drafting Jayhawks.
Darrell Arthur runs faster, is quicker, more explosive and three inches taller than Xavier Henry and Arthur lasts until the 27th pick of the 2008 draft and two years later Henry gets chosen with the 12th pick? Arthur runs the floor far better than Cole Aldrich, has way more offensive skills and is light years quicker, yet Aldrich, chosen two years after Arthur, went 11th in the draft?
And then there's the curious case of Mario Chalmers. The most ridiculous, often-uttered opinion regarding Chalmers holds that he made himself "a lot of money with that one three-pointer against Memphis." Huh? A long-armed guard deft at finishing at the rim, shooting three-pointers and prowling the passing lanes, Chalmers lit up Texas with 30 points in the Big 12 conference tournament title game and he lasted all the way into the second round, the 34th pick?
Why Arthur and Chalmers lasted so long and Aldrich and Henry were swept up so early — sure, it was a weaker draft, but still — remains a mystery.
So does Brandon Rush. Nothing strange about where Rush was selected, 13th in the 2008 draft. That seemed about right. He's an enigma in that he hasn't established himself as a player capable of earning a permanent spot in the starting lineup. He moves his feet so well and has such long arms, he projected as a stellar NBA defender, but until he learns to use his hands to play more physical defense in the manner Brady Morningstar did at Kansas, he won't reach his defensive potential. His jumper looks like those in instruction manuals and his touch is so pure. He shot .417 on threes this past season, but that translated to just 9.1 points in 26.2 minutes a game.
Mysteries abound in the pool of draft prospects, which makes it logical that the Morris twins keep soaring and Selby appears to be plummeting. The twins have proven so much, Selby so little.

Along with the Windows Live Wave 3 beta download package – comes the new Windows Live Photo Gallery that we've been talking about over and over again. First things first, here's what you get when you load up Photo Gallery:
Simplicity is the word to describe my first impression of the new program. They have abandoned the Vista-feel to it by reducing the bottom rotating/zooming/viewing functions to the bottom-right hand corner. The menu bar up the top is now elegant white. But for those who wishes extra customisation like Messenger offers, I'd be sorry to disappoint you that similar to the previous version of Photo Gallery, it doesn't support changing the colours of this menu bar at the top. But hey, it's the rich functionalities that matters more than a colour-changing menu bar, right?
People Tags
So the newest and sweetest addition to Photo Gallery, as mentioned before, is the ability to tag your Messenger contacts or any person using "People tags". From the window above, we can see that your Messenger contact list is loaded into the left navigation bar, provided that you're signed into your Windows Live ID. Selecting a photo and then clicking the "Add people tag" will allow you to drag your cursor and select a person's face:
Very handy feature there, it has a scroll-wheel that filters through your Messenger contact list as your type the person's name. Here's what it looks like when you've tagged the person in your photo:
Photo Sharing – integration with Windows Live Photos
Clicking on a contact's name on the left navigation bar will bring up all the photos that have the person tagged in. What is not shown in the following screenshot is the new integration with Windows Live Photos. If a contact have uploaded and shared their photos on the new Windows Live Photos website, their photos and albums that have been shared will be able to be accessed from Photo Gallery also, and you will be able to download the entire album into you Photo Gallery, if you wish to do so.
Facial Recognition (Updated)
Searching through your photos has never been easier, thanks to the descriptive tags (the original "tags" in previous versions) and the new People tags, you can now easily search through your library and look for the perfect photo you want…..that is, provided that you have tagged them properly, which could be a pain especially having to re-tag every person in your entire collection of photos (think how you had to tag every single photo you uploaded onto Facebook manually). And this is where the question comes in – where did facial recognition go? We hope that it will eventually make a comeback in the next beta version. (Update: Sorry guys I must've missed it before, turned out that facial recognition is still in Photo Gallery) This is where Facial Recognition in Photo Gallery comes in handy.
After the automatic scan by Photo Gallery to detect facial features in your photos (and this may take a while if you have a very large collection of photos), you'll find that there will be a "People found" category when you click on "People tags" on the left navigation bar. Clicking on any of the photos with people found but not yet identified, and the following screen will appear:
You can then select the contact you want, or enter a new name not in your contact list, to add the people tags to the photo. Notice that this tool is not yet perfect, as you can see it skipped a person's face in the photo above.
Metadata Removal upon Publishing onto the web
On the right infobar you can now see a whole lot of new information such as camera metadata, ratings, and more. When uploading your photos onto Spaces (or the upcoming Windows Live Photos perhaps?) or Flickr, you may choose to upload these metadata or not.
Developer Plug-ins Support
Yes, Photo Gallery will join Windows Live Dev, allowing developers to develop plug-ins for the application:
What we don't know is what kind of plug-ins will be available, as the link to Windows Live Dev is currently not available. Will it allow plugins such as facial recognition? Or will it be plug-ins to allow users to publish their photos onto additional photo-sharing websites (like Facebook)? Update: Windows Live Photo & Video team blog has just posted information about 3rd party plug-ins – seems like our second hypothesis was right, the plug-ins will "includes a new Publishing API that enables the community to build plug-ins for virtually any sharing service".
Photosynth Integration and Extras
Last but not least, notice the "Extras" menu in the menu bar. In addition to stitching a panoramic photo, Photo Gallery now also integrates with the latest Photosynth technology that was released not long ago (only if you have Photosynth installed). It's great to see the services from Microsoft Live Labs coming into a real product:
Developers will also be able to use the Photo Gallery API to add their applications into the Extras menu. Thanks to Scott's tip apparently Autocollage 2008 is also integrated into this Extras menu, provided you have it installed of course.
Overall, Photo Gallery had been a solid tool that does what it should do, and with additional features that helps you to better manage your photos and share them with the rest of the world. It is also great to see that Microsoft is progressively separating bundled applications such as Mail, Calendar, Movie Maker and Photo Gallery out of Windows, allowing additional flexibility in it's feature set and a more focused development effort. The software, although still in beta stages, is quite stable and functional. However, it is quite disappointing that it doesn't have the consistent look and feel with the other Wave 3 application – namely Messenger, which now even offers background themes customisation similar to the Wave 3 headers you seen in online services like Hotmail.

Did you know that you can compose a blog post on your phone using an SMS text?
This is pretty cool the way it's working for me. Of course, it has its limitations like lack of formatting or the ability to add an image (it's not MMS).
Probably the best part is that it's free. Right now I'm composing this post on my iPhone 4S. If Hubby weren't sleeping right now, I could even use Siri to dictate this text.

There are some things in life that make me incredibly happy. One of those things is making someone else laugh or giggle uncontrollably. Humor is a true gift that keeps on giving. I live to crack people up till they shed a tear or snort their beverage out their nose. It's been done to me so I like giving back when I can :)

"The era of the old Broads boys is coming to an end" - Ferry Marina is sold on by boatyard boss
PUBLISHED: 12:15 05 December 2018 | UPDATED: 08:08 06 December 2018
A businessman who invested millions to bring the boatyards of the Norfolk Broads into the modern day has sold his last remaining major site to focus on other projects.
Len Funnell purchased his first boatyard in Wroxham in 1979, moving to the Broads from Grimsby for a life beside the river.
Since then Mr Funnell and his wife Hazel have spent 40 years buying, modernising, and selling boatyards and marinas across Norfolk, including Broads Tours, Herbert Woods, Loynes and Brundall Bay Marina.
"I went in, did it up, and then sold it," he said. "All of the money I made I would put into buying the next one, and save it from literally falling into the river. It's what the Broads deserve – to have nice marinas and boatyards with good moorings."
He has now sold the Ferry Marina to a neighbouring company, to spend more time as a trustee of the Waveney River Centre, which his daughter owns.
"It used to be me, Jimmy Hoseason, Martin Broom, Tim Whelpton, Raymond Jeckells and similar. Now I'm the last one left – the era of the old Broads boys is coming to an end," Mr Funnell said.
Despite this, and increasing cost pressures on providers, Mr Funnell said the industry could still thrive on the Broads.
"I think the future looks bright for a few businesses – probably the bigger ones that are there now, who will continue what they started and will grow."
However, he continued: "When I came to Norfolk there were 2,600 boats on the Broads. Now there are about 800. It's gone down and down every year and the tolls have gone up and up every year.
"The young businesses out there need support from the Broads Authority so that they can continue, but also so that the restaurants and pubs in villages on the river can survive."
Mr Funnell added that although the boats are no longer wooden – and therefore no longer leak – the tools of the trade have improved, but the experience of holidaying on the Broads has always been good.
"We see people who used to come to the Broads as children coming back with their own children," said Mr Funnell, "The experience of being on the Broads has never changed."
