With the Germans still in disarray the Allies were pushing on rapidly eastwards across France. In the north, after a short sharp battle, the British had captured a bridgehead over the Seine. Every bridge had been destroyed by Allied aircraft attempting to block the German retreat, now it was necessary to quickly build their own bridges to enable the pursuit.
Sergeant Major Ernest Powdrill was in charge of a Troop of four Sexton self propelled guns and was to cross the Seine late on the 28th:
I viewed the pontoon replacement with great trepidation — the Seine is very wide at this point (approximately 215 yards), with a high water level — and led the guns to the west bank at 1800 hrs, just as the sky was darkening. I watched closely as tank by tank negotiated the pontoon bridge, a procedure that did nothing to increase my confidence. A pontoon bridge is no more that a series of flat sheets laid transversely over a series of pontoons laid side by side.'
As it is a floating structure, secured to the banks at both ends, it is not, in my untutored opinion, a particularly stable arrangement. Thus, as the tanks went over, they appeared to wobble from side to side and we wondered if their tracks were submerged below the lapping surface of the river.
If ever a jar of rum was needed, now was the time. No such luck, however. On the west bank, engineers and military police were in command, signalling each tank over at the appropriate moment. The richness and extent of their vocabulary was to be admired, but they did a marvellous job.
Then it was our turn and the sky was getting darker. In front of me was an American White half-track, which served as the Troop Gun Command Post, with the GPO (Charles Coad) in charge. 3 RTR had gone on ahead, and we were behind the tanks of the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry and the 23rd Hussars. I was behind the GPO in my Bren carrier (known as TLD).
As this was a lightweight vehicle of some 4 tons, compared to the 32-ton Shermans of the tank regiments, it meant that, as they cockled on the pontoon, they caused the Bren carrier to wobble even more.
The Seine stretched away each side, with a width of over 200 yards, and it looked most forbidding with its strong flowing current. The sky darkened by the minute, which did not improve driving conditions.
The drivers' eyes were glued to the narrow line of the pontoon, knuckles glowing white as their hands tightly gripped the steering tillers. Some drivers later reported cramp from their feet arching sensitively over accelerators and clutches. Neither was the way forward made any easier by the wash thrown up by the vehicles in front.
The first few yards were not too bad, but then, as the pontoons sagged under the weight of the tanks, water sloshed over the tracks so that the roadway in front temporarily disappeared from view. It was a nightmare drive and it was with huge relief that we found ourselves safely on dry land on the opposite bank of the river at Vernonnet, a small, pleasant riverside settlement, now completely deserted.
By now the night was pitch black and, with all the action and tension of the past few hours dissolving into slight relief, we then found ourselves entirely alone. No other units were in sight or sound. I bunched the guns nose to tail, forming up in the little square of Vernonnet.
My job was to see that every one had crossed over safely, so it was with considerable relief that I was able to report to the GPO that all was well. Then the worry began to nag again as our detachment from the rest of the convoy produced an unreal situation. There were no inhabitants or anyone else to be seen and we began to feel lost. The tank regiments had gone ahead and there seemed to be no other units behind us. It was strangely quiet and somewhat sinister.
It was just the beginning of an eventful night as they pushed ahead in pitch black darkness, narrowly avoiding ambush by German troops when they took the wrong road. See E A Powdrill: In the Face of the Enemy: A Battery Sergeant Major in Action in the Second World War.

Pink, Black and White Classic Vintage ColorsOne of the unique hallmarks of French Country Shabby Chic decorating is a mismatched style along with a worn comfortable look. This just caused more frustration and they decided it was time to go to the Apple Store.
Engel vs Vitale was Kemba Walker Jersey
the case that decided this. The subspecies had been reduced to eight worldwide because of poachers, who target cheap jerseys rhinos for their Malik Beasley Jersey
horns.. No other candidate in modern times has appealed to the racists so completely as Trump has. Basically everyone from my high school cheap china jerseys goes to say they went to Lolla, to post pics, get totally wasted for 4 days, don show up until like 5 pm, complain about being so tired when they only at the fest like 4 hours out of the whole day.
The first pass just removed the highest peaks, the second removed material from about one third of the surface, and the final pass covered nearly the whole thing. However, there's an art to using vintage furniture and accessories in your wedding without it looking like your great Aunt Susie's garage sale!.
The cannons weren't the only things that had been improved. Millonarios are favorites coming into cheapjerseys this one. So we're all comes. I know a handful of people who reverted to eating meat and/or fish again within a year or two. Because these sites are all Bitcoin you do not need to send them all your personal details to register, deposit, play and withdraw.
You can also keep bananas and nuts in your room. Blame the CALLER. Remember the Ecuadorian young woman pregnant with a baby which could not survive and denied an abortion even though the pregnancy would kill her and deprive her 14 month old son of his mother? That was Christianity at its worst.
One limitation to biosensor suits is that they must be custom made for each user or the sensors will not line up properly on the user's body.. Mask match is one of the more underrated Apuesta matches in Aniversario history, proof that sometimes the best things come from the most unexpected places.
Despite cheap jerseys the lack of color and activity, I don't find late autumn depressing. You can bet he won't be doing anything wrong."Three Iditarod champions also are among the competitors lured by the largest cash prize for a sled dog race in Alaska (the Iditarod pays $69,000 to the winner).

Our party is then approached by a nefarious character representing the, let say, local chamber of commerce? They want us to sabotage construction of the rail lines just enough so the project takes longer, not to ruin it completely. If nothing else, this looks a lot better than before, and I think you could probably allow this at a table without too many worries, especially if it just for your table.
Mom paid good money for those teeth and she will kill me if I mess them up Ended up breaking basically all the bones surrounding my eye and my nose. Multiple times. This is just simple motivation to increase profit that is cheapjerseys seen in all economic systems.

I would like to thank you for following along with my journey. This blog is important to me. This is "me". The Facebook page is a different animal. It's too…temporary. Stuff gets buried in the feed. A post on the page is a lot like fireworks – fun but short-lived. It's cool for what it is, but the blog is more satisfying. If I find a blog I like, I have easy access to a ton of content. I know some of you have read everything I've written, and for that, you have no idea how honored I am. Humbly… ThAnK YoU!!
I want to write today because it's the first day of a new year, but for the life of me, I don't have anything profound to say.
I don't make resolutions. I set goals when they need to be made and then I do a ton of work to get the thing done. To me, every day is a new opportunity to progress. I do need some concrete, measurable goals. I just don't know what they are going to be yet. Ugh. Frustrating.
But if I had to describe what I think 2014 will be about, I'd say GROWTH.
First, I'd like to work on my marriage. We have a good one, but a relationship is always a work on progress. There are things I've promised I would do and I haven't done yet. I need to fix that. A promise to him is a vow in my heart. I'd like that relationship to grow deeper.
I'm not planning on competing again until 2015. My goal is to look better on stage than I did in June 2013. By better I mean I want it to be such a dramatic difference that I blow my own mind. I need more muscle, I need that muscle to be denser, I need to be leaner, I want to pose better, and have a better routine. I'm willing to invest an entire year working towards those things. I'm going to gather input from new sources. I might even take a dance class. I don't know why I don't make specific goals about moving a certain weight on specific exercises (like squat x pounds for y reps). Maybe I need to reflect on that. It might be helpful to me to do that. Now that I type that…I think that would be very helpful to me. I'll get back to you on that one.
I'm training and coaching a few people. Of course I'd like to grow my business, but there is a limit to how much I can handle while I'm teaching full time. And retirement looks like it is something that won't happen soon. So I'd like to grow my client base slowly so when I do retire, I'm ready to jump into a new adventure.
I'm always grateful for the new opportunities that come along – opportunities to learn and to share what I've learned already. I suspect more of that is coming in the near future.
Not sure what 2014 will bring, but I know I'm happy to be here. Happy to be able to work hard and workout harder.Let's connect!

We don't know about you, but festival season left us with some seriously thirsty locks! Our Corporate Educators have given us 5 hair recovery tips to help you revive your tresses to peak flawlessness.
1. It starts in the shower! "Always make sure to use a shampoo/conditioner that will seal the hair cuticle," says Chanel Peraza-Munoz, Blo Corporate Educator. "A Shampoo and Conditioner like UNITE's Lazer Straight smooths the hair and combats that frizz!"
2. Products are key. "Have you heard about the Color Wow Dream Coat?" says Savannah Fincher, Blo Corporate Educator. "It has a one-of-a-kind anti-humidity seal that acts as a raincoat for your hair, keeping your mane perfectly tamed no matter how hot and humid the weather gets. You don't have to worry about frizz or poof ever again! The seal also lasts 3-4 shampoos, so it's perfect for that fun weekend getaway!"
"The Color Wow cocktails, Kale in particular, will revamp and revitalize dry dull hair, while returning it to its natural state," adds Savannah.
3. Seal the deal. "UNITE's 7 Seconds Deep Conditioning Masque contains organic Amber extract, which has been scientifically proven to repair and rebuild damaged hair. Use this after a long day outside to nourish those sun-drenched locks," shares Blo Corporate Educator, Stephanie Rich.
"UNITE's Smooth and Shine product will add moisture to dull, dehydrated hair, while providing shine and reparative attributes from crushed pearl powder. It can be used on the hair when wet for protection against heat styling, or on the hair when dry to smooth and moisturize dry ends", shares Savannah Fincher.
4. The final finish! "I always like to finish with UNITE's Glossing Spray, which gives the hair some added shine and protects against humidity. You will want one that contains UV & thermal protection and anti-humectants to prevent puffy, frizzy hair. Spray the product throughout the hair prior to laying out in the sun or in a tanning bed," says Savannah Fincher, Blo Corporate Educator.
5. Maintain, maintain, maintain. "Use a dry shampoo, like UNITE's 7Seconds Refresher Spray, right before you go to sleep to help absorb any extra oil in your hair (especially if it's humid out!). It will also help extend the life of your style, add body and leave hair fresh and clean," says Ashley Agugliaro, Blo Corporate Educator.
We've got you covered, Blo Babe! Visit your nearest Blo to get a flawless blow out in no time, and add-on a UNITE deep conditioning or Color Wow Dream Coat treatment to re-sass-itate your tresses! Don't forget to check out our humidity-fighting products to maintain that mane all Summer long.

The letter she would write to him
The happy memories they were to create
The curtains she was to choose for their room
The wines they were to collect
The crystal bowls she was to love
The Bayern posters he was to adore
The saree she was to wear for their engagement
The quotes of marriage they were to laugh over
The unconditional love she was to recieve from his parents
The old, old dictionary his paa was to gift her
The home they were to build together.
In minutes it was gone.
Burnt to ashes by the fire they set on it.
Do you still see the memories we
have to make, when you look into my eyes?
November 13, 2012 § 34 Comments
The fire that i start
is the one i let kill me.
I inhale its toxicity
because its mine and
mine alone.
It consummates me
and burns me organ by
organ. You, stand right
there watchin' me,
muted. Afraid to speak
or weak hearted.
I will never know.
You know where my heart
burns, and i know where
your thoughts are
That should be enough.
November 7, 2012 § 17 Comments
I tried to stitch myself into
it, but nothing held.
I am okay. It's just that before
felt like a million rainbows,
superimposed over each other.
And i linger, as if still waiting
for them to magically reappear.
It was this hour, just as early
darkness fell, that you would come
to me. With your clarity, and your
carefree-ness. Stepping into the
wall i'd built. Slowly. And steadily.
I am okay. It's just that i have been
impatient. Very much. I thought
i knew everything you didn't tell,
and understood everything you did.
And i believed things will be fine,
with time. Silly, silly girl.
What is can be as elusive as
what is not. Both beguile, and
neither stays. Or sticks. I am lost
in this transition.
From what we were, to what we
are, to what we will be.
It is winter here.
And unquiet.
October 19, 2012 § 30 Comments
Awakened with a broken heart
she doesn't feel a thing:
the cool breeze, the rain that
falls harshly on the tin roof,
the lightning that gives her
a mini heart attack.
She only watches.
And she sees lingering darkness,
dark clouds in her skies.
Never will her heart be unbroken
Never will she fall in love again
Never will she embrace someone to bare her soul.

In less than a month I'll be flying to Silicon Valley for Stanford University's Medicine X conference, one of the premier medical conferences in the world. I have been awarded an ePatient Scholarship and feel very honored to be giving a 90-minute workshop presentation called "Health Advocacy in the YouTube Age." The workshop will highlight my experience as a film producer over the past year and will empower the audience to use film, video, and visual media to bring attention to the most pressing and overlooked health challenges of our time.
Held this September 5th-7th, the conference is dedicated to exploring "how emerging technologies will advance the practice of medicine, improve health, and empower patients to be active participants in their own care." And it has an extraordinarily exciting perch in the world of social media. According to MED X:
In 2013, Medicine X broke all records for the most tweets per day from a health care conference, besting even TEDMED and HIMSS, according to analytics data firm Symplur. More than 3,500 participants engaged with Medicine X via Twitter, making it the most talked about conference of the year with nearly 27,000 tweets in three days.
This year Stanford is opening up the conference for FREE to viewers all over the world who would like to learn about patient-centered medical innovation. I can't encourage YOU enough to join in!
I think it is vitally important to move ME/CFS into the mainstream of medicine and MedX is the best place to be a part of this innovative, world-changing conversation. The conference lives and breathes on Twitter and social media, which is the type of advocacy the ME/CFS patient community excels in most. You can watch all the main stage presentations streaming live on your computer and you can tweet about the dialogue as it unfolds.
I want to challenge each and every ME/CFS patient to join this conversation September 5-7th. Watch each presentation carefully, learn as much as you can, and tweet as much as you can. LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD! This is the chance for a major coming-out party for our patient population. We already know that Stanford has become one of the premier institutions in the world for researching and treating ME/CFS. Let's build on that momentum and build bridges with many of the world's leading minds in health innovation. Conversation and dialogue are a two-way street. If you engage with the speakers, they'll engage with all of us. And the rising tide will lift all boats.
And these speakers are going to be absolute blockbusters. You'll be so inspired.
–Charles Ornstein, Senior Reporter, ProPublica will talk about harnessing data to better involve patients
–Daniel Siegel, MD, of UCLA, will talk about "the art and science of integration in the promotion of health"
–Barron Lerner, MD, PhD of NYU, will give a "unique perspective on medicine, bio-ethics, and the doctor-patient relationship.
Stanford University and Silicon Valley hold a special place in my heart, the ME/CFS community, and, I believe, in the future of human progress. I was once a creature of Washington, working in Newsweek/Daily Beast's Washington bureau. But I felt compromise and collaboration were dirty words in Washington. Very little was getting done. It's not a mystery that this is a similar fate for ME/CFS advocacy in Washington as well. In an era of increasing budget cuts and legislative deadlock, our voices are often being ignored.
Yet Silicon Valley is a different place, a fresher place, a more creative place. Silicon Valley uses technology in a democratic way that Washington has forgotten. We're all welcome. It's a brand new world. We might not be capable of marching on the Mall, but we sure can tweet. So come West with me to a land of collaboration, teamwork, and inspiration. ME/CFS is already alive and well at Stanford. Now, as the premier minds in health descend on Silicon Valley this September, let's make ME/CFS the newest and brightest blip on their radar screens.
I have the unique privilege of being the very first ME/CFS patient chosen for this ePatient Scholarship, an honor I take very seriously. I sincerely hope that I am just the first of a long line of engaged ME/CFS patients who will be chosen to represent our emerging patient population at Medicine X in the coming years. I thank my friend and fellow Blue Ribbon Foundation board member, Joey Tuan, for encouraging me to apply for the scholarship. And I sincerely hope that he might just be the next ePatient Scholar from our community to address the Medicine X Conference on his successes in e-patient engagement.
So let's move forward together. Sign up for the Global Access Program and let's MAKE SOME NOISE!!

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Menswear details, including blazers, vests and button-downs, have been invading women's fashion trends for a while. Now comes the most obvious of all for fall: pants.
Dresses had been dominant for several seasons – there is appeal in an effortless uniform, after all – but pants are powerful, utilitarian and versatile, and that seems to be what women are craving this style cycle.
"I don't need to tell the girls in the room how practical pants are. A great black pant goes desk to dinner, morning to evening. It's easy and you don't have to think about it too much," says Simon Kneen, creative director at Banana Republic.
"We see pants as the next 'it' item," agrees Colin Dyne, CEO of William Rast. "The categories we're focused on for fall and going into spring are chinos, cargos, pants that utilize silk blends and other fabrications."
And that's what's new about pants this go-around: Pretty much anything goes. There's not a specific skinny silhouette that's the must-have, nor a tailored trouser. The runways – and now the racks – have wide legs and narrow ones, high waists and low. They are all, however, relatable, not kooky concoctions meant only for the catwalk.
"There's a return to the idea of a flattering pant," says Mark Holgate, Vogue's fashion news director. "We were knee deep, no pun intended, in the world of crazy pants … and then what happened was women wore leggings. But now the trend is coming back like the 1990s – a wonderful Helmut Lang pant that's boyish and womanly, that could be worn with a jacket shirt, evening top, heel, flat or boot."
He also sees a nod to the '70s, which Holgate calls "the great years of pants."
Susan Cernek, Glamour's senior online fashion and beauty editor, says she recently was flipping through a book of Yves Saint Laurent's archival work and had to do a triple take at the date. "There was a 1974 runway look but it looks like so many looks from the runway this year. It was worn with a bow blouse, loose jacket and tailored trousers."
Pants create an image of strength, Cernek says, "not because they are borrowed from the boys but because you have to be committed to this look. You literally suit up from head to toe."
The top you choose, the shoes you wear and the scarf wrapped around the neck all become more important when your outfit is built around pants, Kneen explains.
It's almost ironic, but wearing pants can be dressier than a dress.
Dyne sees movement toward a more refined look, even for William Rast's cool, casual customer. Even cargo pants are getting cleaned up, and you'll see people wearing them with blazers out at night, he says.
Gap's new black-pant collection is a reaction to consumer demand, says Lexi Tawes, vice president of women's merchandising. People want a pair of pants that can be worn seven days a week, and, for many women, that's their black pants. "The challenge for us was, 'How do you make black pants cool and sexy again?'"
Fit might be the key. You'd be surprised what flattering pockets and tailored waistband can do, Tawes says.

There were a significant number of conversations with my father that most people would agree usually occurs between father and son when the son reaches 20 or so. They are the first man-to-man conversations where sire and offspring bond and where the proud papa gets to transfer his "wisdom" to his son(s), you know – man stuff.
I began these conversations, and the relationship that accompanies them much later; in my late 30's. It gave me and interesting perspective on parenting and living with other people on a planet and being a man. This one, by far, is my favorite of all time.
I was maybe 40 or 41 years old and my Dad was visiting my house. Suddenly he says to me: "Let me see your wallet, son. Please." I don't think anyone is ever prepared for that question. I asked him why he wanted to see my wallet, to which he replied: "If I don't see your wallet, I won't be able to share a particular thought with you that might be useful." So I handed him my wallet. He looked into all of the slots and pockets or whatever they are called until he was satisfied and then gave me my wallet back without saying anything at all. He then took out his wallet; a brown bi-fold leather wallet; simple, classic and practical. He opened it wide to expose the two pockets that one accessed basically from the inside middle of the wallet. A common place for business cards and such that one considers "wallet-worthy" but don't require quick access. He opened up one of those pockets and began to pull out a folded piece of paper, or at least that's what I thought I was seeing. Suddenly the gesture became familiar: I'd seen him do this before; the folded piece of paper was money, usually a $100.00 bill. He pulled out the bill and unfolded it, indeed it was a nice crisp $100.00 bill. Then he looked at me and his eyes became those of a mischievous little boy and he smiled his irresistible smile – whatever was coming next was going to be, if anything, fun.
Even though we were alone, he looked to his left and then to his right and lowering his voice a bit, said to me:
"Now listen up Son, and listen well. This is what's called "mad money" you should always keep a C-note in your wallet for mad money. It's important. Do not forget this, okay?
I simply had to ask, so I did, I said: "What for, pop?" He grinned and let out a slightly sinister giggle as he looked at me and put a hand on my shoulder right before answering my question. He winked at me and said: "Because;… you never know!" and skipped out of the room, giggling all the way out the front door."
As usual, pop was right. I carried my "mad-money", as my father taught me until we destroyed the function and concept of money, but during the years that I did, on more than one occasion, it saved my ass, got me out of a mess or was that which allowed me to ask the gorgeous blonde sitting on a buddy's couch looking bored after everyone else lost their pocket money playing poker if she wanted to have dinner, or drinks. Dad always said: "Never use mad money for anything that you should cover out of your pocket. It will let you know when to pull it out of your wallet. It most certainly did.
Mad money. I would have never, ever calculated the enormous importance of that concept in my life if my father had not passed it down. It may be one of the most useful tools I've ever had, because: you never know!
That's my pop
My father, born Mario Francisco Vidal on October 4, 1923 in Key West, son to Victor Vidal and Dolores Lopez Mayg, also of Key West, FL, passed away this past July 6th, three months shy of his 90th birthday. You may have even ready my post of the day he passed and perhaps even been one of the countless well-wishers who crashed my e-mail server with e-mails! My father loved his home town and carried that love, and the name of Key West, to the 18 countries that he would live in during his career as one of the world's top hoteliers. Before passing away, the only request he made of his wife and his five sons was that Key West be the final resting place for his ashes. Our family's commitment to honoring my father's last request is what is at the root of this message, but it can be much more than that, if we choose as much.
Our plan is to drive to Key West on Friday; October 4, 2013, what would have been his 90th birthday, and together with friends and other members of the family we will do as he instructed us to and spread his ashes out on the water from the Reynolds Street Pier, the very place where he learned to swim as a child. My father was a man who spread a great deal of love during his lifetime and that love was returned and has manifested in the multitudes of people who will join us on October 5th to bring a Native Son of Key West back home to rest and pay our last respects. We need your help to do this; How? We need a tiny bit of financial support in order to make this happen and you can be a part of it! I am asking for you help by contributing whatever you can. There are many of you and even though we only have 24 hours, I've never known you to back down or not step up. This is a chance to do better, between all of us, we can give my father the only this he asked all of us for: to go back home to rest in peace. I invite you to participate in what is a truly human event. I will be posting on the events of the upcoming weekend and everyone who was a part of this journey will have their name listed in the honor plaque that I will post next weekend; never forget – what any one of us can do, two can improve on and many of us can make it happen! Thank you for your support! Just click on the Donate button below to join the caravan and bring a native son of Key West back home!
Now this is what I call doing better!
Just click on the link below to be a part of this grand homecoming! Thank you!

Have a fun time in Vegas! How appropriate........I was just thinking of using beadboard wallpaper painted black on the front of my breakfast bar. I will probably just tack it around the wood piece (that is screwed in to hide the water heater in my apt). Now, I am definately going to look into peel-able stuff! Thanks.
Oh, btw-- did you ever have a Culver's fish sandwich and/or cheese curds? I have been way outta the loop for quite some time.
Have a great day,

UPDATE 10/21/10 @ 11:46 AM: According to Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune, Lecavalier will be a game-time decision tonight.
UPDATE 10/18/10 @ 11:38 AM: According to the teams official twitter, Lecavalier is listed as very doubtful for game tonight per head coach Guy Boucher.
During Saturday's crushing loss to the rival Florida Panthers, the Tampa Bay Lightning might have lost Vincent Lecavalier too. The hulking center took a shot off his right knuckle and left the game briefly before returning to the bench. He would continue to play sparingly but did not take any faceoffs.
The injury seems to be somewhat minor, but the team will take precautionary measures with their leader. He is questionable for tonight's game, here is the latest from Damien Cristodero of Lightning Strikes:
Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vinny Lecavalier, who during Saturday's 6-0 loss to the Panthers took a slap shot off the first knuckle of his right hand , continued to have soreness, the team said, but no further testing was done. Lecavalier said an X-ray on Saturday was negative. His status for Monday's game with the Stars will be determined perhaps at the morning skate.
We will give you an update on Lecavalier's status after morning skate.

The Greenwald–Hromadka ketubah is a labyrinth: an intertwined collection of paths with infinite choices, and the potential for serendipity and coincidence. A labyrinth is designed for discovery; wandering is the intent, and every path leads to the center. A labyrinth encourages you to walk slowly, to pause here and there, to experience the path instead of just focusing on a destination. In Bereshit we read about Jacob wandering and wrestling with an angel; afterward, he realizes that he has found holy ground. That's Adam and Anne's story: walking the multitude of paths until they met, realizing they had found something holy, and then wandering those paths together. For Adam and Anne, home is a road.
The ketubah text is surrounded by this labyrinth, built in a palette of blues, purples, and reds. These are the colors of the mishkan — the desert tabernacle constructed by Bezalel and the Jewish people during their desert wanderings; it was a focus for worship and a work of art in itself. These colors also reference grapes (for wine and joy) and pomegranates (for fertility and the mitzvot). The building of the mishkan is a wonderful metaphor for the couple, combining Adam's commitment to serving the Jewish community through his rabbinate, and Anne's drive to bring beauty to the world through creation and curation; accordingly, verses from Shemot/Exodus chapter 26 are incorporated into the labyrinth.
The colorful spaces surrounded by and created by the wandering paths are cut-up comic books representing Adam and Anne — their courtship, their couplehood, and the life they are planning together. Adam's intelligence and focus are found in the characters of Professor X (leader of the X-Men) and Mr. Terrific (the third smartest man in the world), and his passion is seen in his namesake Adam Strange, who travels between worlds to be with the love of his life. Anne's creativity and her gypsy and cajun roots are represented in Gypsy (a member of the Justice League of America) and Rogue (a member of the X-Men, whose real name is Anna Marie), and the power of her love is personified by Star Sapphire.
The ketubah is filled with speech bubbles that relate to the couple and their wedding, and glimpses of the superheroes that stand in for them; there are allusions to many of their stories, including references to Los Angeles — which Adam and Anne describe as a key player in their relationship.

Dramatic rescue filmed after swan hits the shops in Lincoln
Stunned Lincoln retail staff drafted in the help of the RSPCA over the weekend after a swan found itself trapped in a compact shop courtyard.
Filmed by staff at community music charity Soundlincs, the slightly aggravated swan was carted away from the enclosed space behind Agatha Boutique on High Street by an RSPCA worker on Sunday, January 3.
Soundlincs, Scope and Agatha teams worked together after spotting the bird outside their office windows.
Looking slightly fed up, the swan was fastened into protective transporter and carried out through Agatha boutique to be later released in a spot away from January sale shoppers.

My cat's neck bone seems veryprominent suddenly, like a hunch back. Is this just age? (8-ish), has she hurt itself? Is she not feeding herself enough to produce muscle?
You didn't mention if your cat was showing signs of pain or not eating normally. So, it is hard to answer you questions. She could have lost a bit of weight and the bones are more prominent or she may have had a fall that caused an injury.
However, although cats are masters at hiding pain, when you pet her back does she flinch? If she does then I suggest you get her to the vet to check that nothing is dislocated. If there is no reaction to being petted other than being happy for the attention and she is eating normally, then I see no cause for concern.
Here is the link to our page on Cat Bone Structure so that you can see the cat skeleton and bone placement to give you an idea of what is under all that fur.

I recently read My Friend Dahmer and loved it so much that I immediately consulted this list of 100 Must-Read Graphic Memoirs and put a bunch on hold at the library. The first to arrive was Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, which is a book I've heard a lot about. It's dark, funny, and well written. And, as I recently discovered, it has been adapted into an incredibly successful musical that happens to be making its way to Toronto in 2018. I love it when something you've never heard of before suddenly seems like it's everywhere, like it's following you around or something. I can't wait to read more graphic memoirs next year (gotta make my way through that list of 100 titles!). Look at me, already planning what to read next year. What a nerd.
What are you reading?

This week television was all about love and violence. Desmond hinted that love may be the secret at the, ahem, heart of Lost. The American Idol judges showed Big Mike some love. A Criminal Minds pair met cute amidst gunfire. Chuck showed Sarah his love...with a bullet. (Oh, and Bones and Booth kissed!) Welcome to Top Moments: Kissing and Killing Edition.
10. Best Abbreviation: Breaking Bad has the best episode titles on TV. (Last season, for example, the names of several episodes linked to describe the tragedy that occurred in the season finale.) The significance of this week's title, "I.F.T.," only became apparent when Skyler whispered it to husband Walt to punish him for refusing to move out. So what does I.F.T. stand for? The I is for I and the T is another man's name. You can probably guess what the F is for.
9. Best Double-Cross: Just when it seems that FlashForward's Mosaic investigation is over and the mole has been found (and captured), Janis breaks our hearts and reveals to Simon that she, too, is a turncoat. It's a shock, especially considering she took a bullet for the team a few months prior. How hard is it going to be for her to juggle being an expectant mother with being a double agent?
8. Most Contrived Shot: We thought Criminal Minds' Emily Prentiss (Paget Brewster) was too smart to lean over the edge of a building, to check on a suspect who's just jumped, without having her gun ready. But that's just what she does on Wednesday's spin-off episode, only to discover him alive on a ledge a few feet below. Thank goodness for overly flirtatious newbie sniper Mick (Matt Ryan), who's there to pick off the bad guy — and in so doing initiate the most violent meet-cute ever.
7. Best Handwriting: On Lost, Charlie shows Desmond the path between the show's two timelines... by driving his car off the road and into the harbor. It seems that near-death experiences provide glimpses to the other side, hence Des' shock to see NOT PENNY'S BOAT written on Charlie's hand underwater.
6. Best Impersonation: Jimmy Fallon dons a sparkly red blazer and tousled blond hair to do Kate Gosselin even better than she does herself. The Late Night host all too accurately re-enacts her lifeless performances on Dancing with the Stars — and he doesn't even have to emasculate Tony Dovolani to do it.
5. Worst Surprise: Charismatic new dad Michael Lynche is eliminated on American Idol — what's going on, America? Fortunately, the judges come to the rescue, utilizing their one save to give him another week to woo us with his signature R&B stylings.
4. Best Near-Upset: Down by two and out of time in the NCAA men's basketball championship, Butler's Gordon Hayward makes a desperate half-court shot that looks destined to become the most celebrated 3-pointer in college basketball history. It hits the backboard, dings the rim — and bounces out, giving Duke another championship. It's a crushing way to lose for Butler, a school of only about 4,000 that plays, famously, in the gym where Hoosiers was filmed. But it's hard after a game like this one to call anyone a loser.
3. Best Subtlety: Aw, those Suarezes are so darn supportive. On Ugly Betty, to show Justin just how much they love him, they plan him a surprise coming-out party. Fortunately, Marc intervenes, assuring the family that Justin will tell everyone he's gay when he's ready. He ultimately does it at his mother's wedding, by simply asking his boyfriend to dance.
2. Best Flip-Flop: On Chuck, the titular hero saves Sarah from Shaw's perverse Parisian revenge plan when he shoots him dead — making his first kill. As Shaw's body falls into the Seine, we see Chuck's apprehension at becoming a killer all over his scrunchy face.
1. Best Won't-They: When Sweets pushes Bones and Booth to define their relationship, Booth makes a crushing declaration: He's done with the prickly forensic anthropologist and thinks it's time to find "someone who will love me." It's an especially sad moment for its proximity, albeit in flashback, to the pair's first kiss.

Searching the web for original upcycle design is just like a fantastic treasure hunt. It can take some time, but you know it's out there. And it's such a good feeling to find one. A unique, inspiring piece of upcycle design. Not just an object that's reused, but an object that's reused and got a completely different function. And in most cases got more value. Not always, but certainly saved from ending up on landfill.
An type of object that got saved and has only been featured twice before here on upcycleDZINE is a window. Both times it was an attic window or skylight that was upcycled into a stunning cabinet and an impressive chandelier.
Coat rack reveals its history
This time it's German design studio Hidden Rooms, based in Leipzig, who took an old discarded window and transformed it into a Coat Rack. They took a window, removed most of the paint to unveil the over 100 years old pine wood. The coat rack design has grown into a series of different designs. Nice thing is that at first glance it is not clear that an old window was used. But when you look closer it reveals its history and all the small and interesting old details.
The windows used by Hidden Rooms are traditional and characteristic box-type windows. They have been used in many homes for more than 100 years. Hidden Rooms: "Its high esthetic has influenced many styles in all parts of public aswell as private spaces. Up until today this window type has proven that good handling and practicability are the main aspects of its success. Especially the craftsmanship is an important part of urban culture. Unfortunately more and more old windows are replaced by new ones."
Since 2014 the brand Hidden Rooms has designed both individual pieces and small series of unique furniture for contemporary living. Their products bring together high-quality workmanship and sustainable materials.
Hidden Rooms:
"We forgo mass production, exploring and interpreting instead the hidden and forgotten rooms of classic living culture– with all its expressive, playful, sensual, ornamental and odd things. In this process we develop furniture as both practical object and artwork."
Photos © Hidden Rooms
This coat rack reminds me of an old door upcycled into a Church Bench by Liz Fourez. Just like that bench, this coat rack has some paint patches left and has a very friendly look & feel to it and so much character. Would be nice to see these two upcycle design furniture pieces together in one room or hallway.

Two children have grown up in the Republic for their entire lives. The Republic believes to be the best 'Country' they must have the best soldiers. All the kids in the Republic are raised to be soldiers, and each child will take a test that will determine where you fit in society. If you score high, then you will become a soldier, but you will also be a part of the rich sector. If you pass but you are not extraordinary, then you become one of the normal citizens, and you would be considered middle class or poor. Your social status and job depends on the score you receive. If you fail the test completely, then you are sent to the labor camps. Day had failed his test and escape the labor camps to become a notorious criminal in the Republic. None of the authorities have any information about him, no sketches, finger prints, and they do not even know his real name. June is the prodigy of the Republic. She has been training her whole life to be the star soldier and she is the only person who has ever made a 100% on her test. But, her whole life changes when her brother is killed by Day. Now she vows to find him and get revenge. The only problem is when they meet, he opens her eyes to how the government really operates and she has no idea who to trust anymore.
A few years ago this book was all the rave at my high school. I, however, never got around to reading it. I was more into the Mortal Instruments series back then and the Divergent trilogy. Now, years later, I finally caved in and decided to try to figure out why everyone loved this book, and I was not disappointed. I love the story line of the girl being the one hunting down the boy as well as the mystery this book had. I will admit that when I first started this book it took me a while to get into it. The beginning was very slow, but it gives all the information you needed to understand the structure of the story. After about 1/3 of the book, Day and June meet and from there on I could not put this book down.
I'm going to start off by saying one of my favorite things about this book is the structure. June and Day live two completely different lives and one chapter would be told by Day while the next would be told by June. It continues in this pattern throughout the entire book, and it was so fascinating because not only did we get to see their lives before they met, but we also got to see how each character viewed the other later on. I don't think I ever preferred one narrative over the other because the two narratives worked well together. I believe it was one of the tools that helped grab my attention. When one chapter ended, I couldn't wait to read the next to find out what the other character was going through or how the other character viewed the situation.
One of my favorite parts of this book was how little cliché romance there was. Yes, the girl who was supposed to be hunting the bad guy ends up falling for him but she still continues to do her job in the Republic. She doesn't only believe Day's side of the story, but she does her own investigation as well. When there were romantic moments, they were very cute, but they only lasted a page or two. The whole book didn't revolve around their love, instead, it revolved around finding the truth and trying to make their family proud. At the same time, their romance was why I continued to read. They were the perfect couple and they didn't know. Even with their opposite reputations, they never outshined each other. (SPOILER) When June gets Day captured, Day continues to escape. He never gives up. The same goes for June. June never gives up on trying to find the truth about who killed her brother and when she finds out Day had nothing to do with it, she is not about to let an innocent guy, let alone the guy she likes, die for her mistakes.
At the end, I really enjoyed this book. It takes a lot to surprise me and there were moments (like finding out who really killed June's brother) that completely shocked me and left me with my jaw on the ground. The ending was very sweet and it was such a perfect ending for this book. It allowed for the story line to be continued but it still showed the romance between June and Day. I have read the second and third book, and I kind of wish I did not. This book was perfect but the two others ventures off into a different direction that was personally not for me. If you are content with this ending and you don't want to see June and Day fall apart, then I would suggest only reading this book. I know for me, however, I would never be able to only read one book in a series so I would not be able to take this advice, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Happy new month lovelies! One of my current fashion obsessions is the cover-up, I always feel like this Egyptian goddess who is ready to take over the world. Cover-ups are basically known to be worn at the beach or during that summer season when the skies are romantically blue. There are many pieces that can be worn as cover-ups for instance jumpsuits, robe coats, a pair of culottes, overall shorts, kimono and lots more. My favorite cover-ups are the kimono type. What I love about them is; you can pair them up with lots of different trendy pieces.
I decided to pair my pink kimono cover-up with rugged skinny jeans, a tribal fringe top and pair of maroon puma. Goodness, you should have seen me walking around in it! The way the cover-up was flapping in the wind, it was magical and how i wish i was able to cast a spell.Lol! I wanted the look to be simply flamboyant and exotic.
Another way to style your cover-up, layer it with a dress especially if it's the cold season or the unpredictable weather. Yes, it may seem simple but simplicity is key. Add a pair of heels or sneakers, whichever you feel is the best for you.
For those planning to go overseas to the beach, this is a must have when packing. I love how light and flowy they are. If you are the type that's always scared to dive in the pool, just wear the cover-up on top and flaunt around in it as you sip some margarita, darling.
If you have been wondering how to rock a cover-up, I hope the 3 looks will guide you. Enjoy the post and have a fruitful week ahead of you.

Megaflex is the perfect partnership of two complementing ingredients, Rosehip and Glucosamine.
Gatwick, Surrey (PRWEB UK) 10 February 2014
With winter in full swing, the cold and windy weather stops many people from going about their daily life. Not leaving the house due to bad weather is a choice, and sometimes it's nice to just cosy-up inside. Having to stay indoors due to the pain and limited movement caused by stiffness in the limbs is an unwelcome decision many people have to make this time of year.
With such a high proportion of people living in the UK affected by limited mobility or flexibility it is no wonder an active lifestyle is put on hold until signs of spring appear. With freedom of movement restored it is possible to achieve a healthy active lifestyle whatever the weather.
Your Lifestyle Products is pleased to announce the launch of Megaflex. Megaflex is the perfect partnership of two complementing ingredients, Rosehip and Glucosamine. These powerful components have similar actions within the body, thus offering people the combined strength for maintaining normal flexible limbs.
Each Megaflex tablet contains generous quantities of Rose hip and Glucosamine Sulphate. Glucosamine occurs naturally in the body as it is a major structural component within joint tissue, but as people age, this substance naturally decreases. With no food sources available to replace it, supplementation is often the only way of staying flexible. Rosehip complements the effects of Glucosamine and is an abundant natural source of nutrients and Vitamin C with excellent antioxidant properties.
Taking Megaflex on a regular basis will help provide the extra support needed to move through daily life with ease. Give some attention to your limbs with Megaflex.
