If you read my post on SalonSpy.co.uk, you'll know that I recently started working with them on reviewing salons in my local area. So, last week I hotfooted it over to Queen Bee Salon in Scunthorpe for the pleasure of receiving a couple of treatments, courtesy of SalonSpy.co.uk.
I was booked in for a facial with Kylie and a cut and blowdry with Jenny, and I was so excited at the prospect of having a pamper whilst checking out the salon. When I arrived, I was given a really warm welcome, was seated and given a skincare form to fill out as my facial was first on the agenda. The staff waited patiently whilst I filled things in, and once done I was lead up the stairs to the beauty salon area. I have to say, I was completely blown away by how stunning the salon itself is. It was decorated beautifully, with a deliciously decadent decor, and was by far the prettiest salon I've ever been to.
I was shown into the treatment room, which again, was completely stunning, and made myself comfortable whilst Kylie had a look over my form and decided which facial would be best for me. At Queen Bee Salon they use Darphin products, which I've never used before so was really looking forward to trying something new. The Darphin Customised Facials are great because they are bespoke to your skin needs, and I was given the Stop Shine Purifying Facial, which was perfect for my oily, acne-prone skin.
I have to say, the facial was completely luxurious and relaxing; I've only had a couple of facials before in the past but this was most definitely my favourite. The lights were dimmed and candles were dotted around the room, as well as relaxing music playing in the background. It was a really thorough treatment, which Kylie was extremely knowledgeable in, and she talked me through the products whilst filling me in on the Darphin brand, all of which I found really interesting. Essential Oils were used which smelt completely amazing, and I was given a gorgeous massage whilst the products worked their way into my skin. The face mask I was given during the facial was unlike any I'd ever had before; the mask was applied, followed by sheets which Kylie had previously asked if I would be okay with as anyone with claustrophobia might find them a bit unsettling, but I was fine and found the treatment really soothing. I was given an arm and hand massage whilst the face mask worked its magic, and once the facial was over I was given as long as I wanted to get up and go into the next room to sit down and wait to be called for my hair to be done. I was given a glass of water (a must after a facial) told to sit down and relax whilst being shown some of the products that were used for me to try out on the back of my hand, both of which felt amazing. I was handed over a 'Personal Recommendation' booklet with all the product details of what had been used, as well as instructions on application. I had a little read through this and then Jenny came to collect me to have my hair done.
I was lead downstairs to the hair salon area, which was just as lavishly decorated as the rest of the salon, and took a seat in the hairdressers chair whilst Jenny asked me what I would like doing. I am really precious about my hair, so I stated I only wanted a little trim as I'm growing my hair out, which Jenny completely understood. I felt entirely at ease with her and whereas I am usually extremely nervous about getting my hair cut, Jenny reassured me she would only take off a tiny bit which put my mind at rest. I was taken over to get my hair washed and conditioned, and then lead back to the chair where Jenny talked me through the products they use. Queen Bee Salon uses only the best Bumble and Bumble hair products, which I was really excited about as I've never used them before. I explained to her that I love big hair, so she got a selection of Bumble and Bumble Thickening Products to use on my locks. She took no time at all to give my hair a nice subtle trim (no huge piles of hair on the floor here - phew!), and then proceeded to blowdry my hair. I'd never previously understood why people go to salons purely to have a blowdry - until now. The blowdry Jenny gave my hair was absolutely amazing - she explained she would give my hair lots of bounce and flicks at the end, and she carefully sectioned out my hair and worked her magic, blowdrying the sections, applying the thickening product and gripping my hair in place to allow it to set. Once done, she ungripped my hair, brushed it through and applied a bit more product, and I was utterly amazed at the result. I have always, always wanted to achieve that Hollywood, Cosmo-Cover, big bouncy hair look with loose waves and loads of volume, but I've never been able to do it. Jenny transformed my hair and made it look exactly like that - almost as if she'd read my mind. I was totally ecstatic with the results and really wish I'd taken a picture now, as I really doubt I'll be able to recreate the look at home! Once done Jenny handed me over a booklet with all the information on the products she'd used, and I left the salon feeling like a million dollars.
Overall I am SO impressed with Queen Bee Salon. The treatments I had were completely amazing, and left both my skin and my hair feeling and looking gorgeous. The staff were lovely, the atmosphere was great and the decor was divine. The products they use are the best of the best and this completely shows in the results I was given after the treatments. The facial would have been £42, which I think is a great price, especially as my skin is now looking the best it has in ages - no word of a lie. The cut and blowdry would have been £45.00, which is more than I would usually pay, however I would most definitely pay this to have my hair done there again as my hair seriously has never looked so good as it did walking out of the salon! I have to say, hand-on-heart, that Queen Bee Salon is the best salon I have ever been to and I would not hesitate to go there again. It's a complete hidden gem and I am so happy I was given the opportunity to go there and receive these fantastic treatments - I was most definitely treated like a Queen!
All the reviews for Queen Bee Salon on Salonspy.co.uk are fantastic and I can completely see why. You can follow Queen Bee Salon on Twitter here or 'like' their Facebook page here.
*As stated above this was a complimentary service on behalf of SalonSpy.co.uk however my thoughts and opinions on the service are 100% genuine as always.*

High-Tech and High-Touch Ways to Earn Your Living from Home

Here are just a few high-tech home businesses that are hot today:
Computer consultant for small and home businesses: This type of job can involve anything to do with computers, from minor computer and software troubleshooting to full network installations.

Web merchant and auction trader: You can sell goods to clients online, whether through an auction site like eBay or through your own virtual store via a personal Web site.
Webmaster: This position involves setting up Web sites and managing servers, hardware, and software for other businesses from your own home.

How to Create an Effective Home Business Web Site
Your home business's Web site may look great, but if it's not helping you sell more products and services, it's a waste of your time and money. Here are some tried-and-true ways to build a Web site that's a real asset to your home-based business:
Make sure you're easy to find. Don't make it difficult for your clients to find you via online search engines. Keep your Web address and content as simple and specific as possible.
Advertise your new address like crazy in daily correspondence. One of the best ways to get the word out about your Web site is to include its address on your business cards, stationery letterhead, invoices, marketing brochures, e-mail taglines, and anyplace else you can possibly fit all those letters and dots.
Give your visitors a reason to visit your site — and to come back again and again. If your site is boring, your client or prospect will click out of the site just as quickly as he or she clicked in. Look for ways to include interesting content on your site that gets updated regularly, such as a blog that lists your business updates or a thread that includes local or business-related news that may or may not affect your clients.
Capture contact information. Encourage your visitors to give you contact information, via e-mail or other means, that you can use in your organization's marketing and promotional efforts.
Check your site's statistics, and visit it regularly. Make your Web site your Internet browser's home page so you can check it every time you go online and make sure all is well. Also, look for online tools that help you track who visits your site, when, and how often.
How to Avoid Work-at-Home Scams
Many companies hire home-based employees to sell goods or provide services for them. Although the vast majority of work-at-home opportunities are legitimate, plenty of them aren't. For every opportunity you explore, follow these tips to help you avoid the scams:
Identify a company or product that appeals to you. Check with the Direct Selling Association (DSA) for a list of member companies, or look in your local phone book.
Take your time deciding. A legitimate opportunity won't disappear overnight, so don't let someone tell you that you have to make a decision right away. Think long-term.
Ask questions. Ask about the company, its leadership, its products or services, the start-up fees, the realistic costs of doing business, the average earnings of distributors, the return policies, and anything else you're concerned about. Get copies of all company literature, and read it!
Consult with others who have had experiences with the company and its products. Check to see whether the products or services are actually being sold to consumers.
Investigate and verify all information. Don't assume that official-looking documents are accurate or complete, or even produced by the company. (They may be created by the person trying to recruit you.)
How to Be Productive When You're Working from Home
When you're working from home, separating your home life from your work life can be a real challenge. Your home-based business is a real business, and, as such, it demands both a professional environment and professional conduct. To help you be productive when you're working from home, follow these ten commandments:
Set regular business hours, so work and home tasks don't interact.
Maintain a professional attitude when you're "at work."
Use technology (such as an automatic e-mail-based calendar) to leverage your time and yourself.
Set up a separate business phone line, dedicated computer, and other equipment and systems.
Locate your office in its own space, preferably in its own room.
Set specific daily business goals and track your progress.
Avoid distractions.
Stay organized.
Don't become a prisoner to your home office.
Have fun!

Gratitude: The Gift That Keeps on Giving/
"in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Love is in the air, the nights have become colder and longer, and the holiday season is officially upon us. While for some, this may feel like it's "the most wonderful time of the year," but for others, not so much. Losing loved ones, still waiting to find love or for love to find you, the disappointment of unaccomplished goals, family feuds, etc. is enough to send anyone into a funk. If we are not careful, we can quickly lose the very heart of the matter of what the holiday season really means.
It is a time to celebrate and show our gratitude, not just for what God has done, but in anticipation for what He is going to do in the upcoming year. It is a time to spread love, peace, and joy. So naturally, the enemy would love nothing more than to rain on all of our parades! He does this by planting seeds of bitterness, resentment, jealousy, loneliness, grief, fear, and doubt into our minds. He tries to make us focus on our failures, rather than our successes, on our losses, rather than our wins, on what we don't have, rather than what we do have. He would love nothing more than to ruin this season of thankfulness and cheer.
So how do we combat the enemy's antics? We follow the instructions in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 which tells us to give thanks in everything. It does not say to give thanks in some things, or when we feel like it, or only after someone gives us a gift or word of encouragement. It tells us to give thanks in everything, because it is the will of God in Christ. That means that it is God's desire for us to find something to be grateful for no matter the situations in which we may find ourselves, or what lies the enemy may throw our way. Why? Because gratitude protects our hearts from becoming calloused and filled with evil.
When our hearts become hardened, we no longer feel what God wants us to feel, and we are no longer able to give what God wants us to give. He not only wants us to feel His love, peace, joy, contentment, etc., but He also wants us to give those things freely to others. But when we become distracted by the cares of this world, and when we allow the enemy to make us depressed and ungrateful, we have removed God from the throne of our hearts, and placed the enemy there instead. He then controls, or influences, the way that we think, feel, and behave, and why would we give him the satisfaction? Misery loves company, and that is one guest that we should refuse to entertain.
I want to challenge you, not only this week, but in the weeks to come, to set your heart and mind on being grateful in all things. It does not matter how big or small. That does not mean that you walk around in a state of delusion or denial, but it does deny the enemy access to your heart and mind. You can simply be honest with God about how you feel, and immediately follow that with a statement of gratitude. For instance: "Lord, I'm worried about how I'm going to make ends meet, but I thank you for being Jehovah Jireh my provider." "Lord, my family is driving me crazy, but I thank you that I have a family and for your gift of peace." Lord, I feel like a failure, but I thank you for being the God that never fails."
While it might not seem easy or natural at first, just keep speaking God's truth by the power of His Holy Spirit that is alive in you. Eventually, your heart and mind with align with your spirit, you will notice a difference in your demeanor, and you will probably have a newfound love for the things and people around you. Remember, the more gratitude you are, the more grateful you will become. That is one gift that you cannot afford to live without, and one gift that truly keeps on giving.
Have a Blessed Week!

I started this post initially by writing a long winded explanation about this post and realising that probably isn't necessary. It's sort of obvious from the title… these are some first impressions of some products I've been testing for the past week. Simple. I figured it would be a nice way to sum up products I've been playing with recently (with ambitions of making it a weekly thing). So I can share my first thoughts on if they're any good and if they might be staying in the routine or maybe not making the cut. So here we go…
I haven't tried much from Fresh but if this is anything to go by I need to try more. This is a gel like cleanser that works on face and eyes (plus points for this) and feels like a gel but then sort of melts into a creamy cleanser. It rinses off fairly easily – even more so with a flannel or muslin cloth. This one will be staying around for sure – it's great at balancing the fine line between taking make-up off but not stripping the skin of all moisture.
Cult 51 Immediate Effect Serum*
I initially assumed this was an all over serum but it's only on reading the application guide that it tells you to apply to the eye area. But does say can be used on other areas too. It's a little confusing to be honest – is it for eyes or is it for all over?! Or both?! If both then that's ace. The confusion comes from first the name, then the initial intro to the product on the packaging is vague enough that I wouldn't assume it was an eye product until I got to the bit about application that says apply to eye area. But then it does also say you can use it elsewhere. Who knows. I use it on my eyes but do like the texture so have been popping it all over a little too. The texture is really lovely – it's a sort of thick serum but it's light and hydrating and it does feel like it does have an immediate effect on the skin. Confusion aside, first impressions really good on this one but will see how it goes after a few weeks of use before I give it a full review treatment.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day 5 in 1 Styling Treatment
I picked this up last time I was in America as had heard amazing things. I love this on first blow dry – it leaves hair feeling light and smooth. Styled without feeling weighed down. But I feel like I want to find whatever the secret is to make it last the second day – for day one hair, love it. But I feel like on the second day I lose it a bit and the light/volume gets lost a bit.
NIOD Multi Mollecular Hyularonic Complex*
I started using this when I read the Cult 51 was for the eyes – it's a hyularonic watery serum that's designed to help add moisture to the skin and keep it there. It feels instantly hydrating and very light. The smell is a little unusual I can't put my finger on what it is. I like it as a pre-moisturiser and feel like this will be one that will impress me more with time.
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Cream*
I reached for this when I just wanted a good all rounder moisturiser for my dry skin. I've used the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion before, but this is the thicker, cream formula. I already like it more than the lotion version – it feels light but somehow like it's working more than the original version. A good all round moisturiser so far – so if you just want something that really just keeps skin soft without any fuss then this is a good option!
Neutrogena Hydra Boost Gel Cream Eye
I picked this up as it was something recommended as a drugstore purchase in America. All signs point to it being one I would love. But so far I haven't been wowed. It does feel lovely to use, but the effect just doesn't last. It's refreshing and gives instant hydration, but I find an hour or two later the eye area feels dry again. So far, not too impressed so not sure I'll stick with it when I have better options.

Aspen figures into Steve Jobs' legacy
ASPEN – Today marks the first anniversary of the death of Steve Jobs, and the brainy innovator's visit to Aspen nearly 30 years ago is being hailed for its historical significance – and for being indicative of the Apple Inc. co-founder's vision.
On Tuesday, Marcel Brown, of Edwardsville, Ill., posted online a recording of Jobs' presentation in June 1983 at the International Design Conference in Aspen, where the theme was "The Future Isn't What It Used to Be."
Graphic designer John Celuch was among those who attended Jobs' speech. Cassette recordings of the presentation were offered to audience members, and Celuch claimed one for himself. Celuch, in an interview this week, recalled hanging on to the tape over the years and eventually lending it to Marcel Brown, a technology consultant in Edwardsville with whom he does business.
Brown had the tape in his possession since 2011 before giving it a listen. And when he did earlier this summer, its historical value was not lost on him.
"It was really neat information," he said.
That prompted Brown, who also blogs about the world of high tech, to digitize the tape and post it online this week. Before Brown went public with the recording, Aspen Institute CEO Walter Isaacson, also Jobs' biographer, discussed the talk in an August article he wrote for Smithsonian magazine.
Brown marveled at Jobs' vision of the future, which was put on display in Aspen.
"Regarding the speech, it is amazing to hear Steve Jobs talk about some things that were not fully realized until only a handful of years ago. This talk shows us just how incredibly ahead of his time he was," Brown wrote on his blog.
Jobs also hints at a future with computer tablets, a concept that Apple pioneered with its launch of the iPad and subsequent editions.
"We will find a way to put (a computer) in a shoebox and sell it for $2,500, and finally, we'll find a way to put it in a book," Jobs told the Aspen audience just six months before the debut of the Macintosh, which would permanently change the landscape of personal computing.
While Celuch attended Jobs' presentation, he also was at the site – the current grounds of the Aspen Institute and Aspen Music Festival – when the so-called Aspen Time Tube was lowered into the ground. Celuch spotted Jobs and asked him if he wanted anything left in the capsule.
"He reached over to his Lisa computer, pulled the mouse off of it and handed me the mouse by the tail," Celuch said. "And we buried it into the time capsule."
That was on June 23, 1983, when a crowd of onlookers buried the Time Tube, which harbored such relics as an eight-track recording of the Moody Blues, a Sears Roebuck catalog, a June 1983 copy of Vogue magazine, a Rubik's Cube, Coca-Cola drinks, a six-back of beer and a muffin.
Nick DeWolf, Aspen's eccentric genius who designed the dancing fountain on the Mill Street mall, also left its secret plans in the capsule.
And then there's the mouse, which Jobs removed from one of Apple's biggest commercial failures: the Lisa.
"I can't imagine it would be worth that much," Brown said of the mouse. "It wasn't like a rare item. It was from a mass-produced computer that certainly wasn't successful. But the fact that (the time capsule) had been buried, and Steve Jobs virtually put it in there himself, some collector might find that valuable."
As for now, the Aspen Time Tube remains buried, despite original plans to unearth it at a ceremony in June 2000, when the mayor would deliver a proclamation. The reason for the delay, now 12-plus years and counting, is that no one know its precise location.
Permission was needed from the Institute when the capsule was buried because the Institute owned the Music Festival grounds at the time. Now the Music Festival owns it.
"The problem is the landscape has changed the location of the landmark that would have been pretty important to pin it down," said Basalt architect Harry Teague, who designed Harris Concert Hall, which was erected on the grounds in 1983, and the Benedict Music Tent, which was built in 2000.
Because of those changes, some markers for the time capsule might have been removed or relocated, making it even more difficult to pinpoint the location, he said.
"We did have it surveyed. We could get close and then hit it with a metal detector," Teague said.
On Brown's LifeLibertyTech.com website, he blogged Thursday about the time capsule.
"There is a piece of Apple and Steve Jobs' history buried in Aspen, Colorado. And no one seems to know exactly where it is. Making it yet another 'lost' piece of Steve Jobs lore," he wrote.
Brown said he and Celuch are trying to locate people who were in Aspen at the time of the capsule's burial.
"Wouldn't it be great if we could dig up the time capsule next year, on the 30th anniversary of its burial?" he wrote.
Teague said the capsule was made of PVC pipe with each end capped.
"It's pretty much moisture-proof," he said. "And it's not going anywhere. The only thing that could hurt the plastic is ultraviolet, and it's not getting much of that."

How can I help…and what's in it for me?
I admit to a bit of depression setting in over the hurricane recovery. It didn't hit our house—we were fine—but several friends had flooding and are still without electricity. I feel helpless.
I spent another day down in the Rockaways over the weekend. I was needed to drive again and I was happy to do it, but there were a lot of other people helping, too—maybe because it was a mild day. I helped with some unloading of food and cleanup at two church centers, but that was it; I sort of felt "extra." Read More

Mohamed al-Mady says outlook for petrochemical demand over the next three years is positive
The global outlook for petrochemical demand over the next three years is positive and there is room for prices to rise, the chief executive of Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC) said on Sunday.
Mohamed al-Mady was addressing a news conference after SABIC, one of the world's largest petrochemicals groups, earlier reported a 7 percent year-on-year increase in second-quarter net income, matching analysts' predictions.
Forecasts suggest shale gas, a potential feedstock for petrochemicals, will only be produced in large quantities from the United States in 2018, leaving room for improvement in petrochemical prices before then, he said.
For this year, Mady predicted the business outlook would remain similar to 2013, with petchrochemical product prices probably staying stable.
He added that Africa was a very promising market for SABIC and the company was focusing on opening distribution centers in a number of African countries, especially for fertilisers and plastics.
Chief financial officer Mutlaq Morished told the news conference that SABIC's sales in the second quarter climbed to SR48.15 billion ($12.84 billion) from SR44.99 billion a year earlier.

National Health Investors on board for $25 million skilled nursing project
National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE: NHI) entered into an agreement to finance the development of a 144-bed skilled nursing facility near Milwaukee, a $25.35 million commitment with a 9.5% initial yield.
Under NHI's commitment, initial funding totaled $4.7 million. The yield earned during construction will be capitalized into NHI's investment, according to a statement announcing the real estate investment trust's (REIT) involvement in the project. Construction is in progress, with an expected completion date sometime in the second quarter of 2020, reports Skilled Nursing News.
The facility, called Ignite Medical Resort Oak Creek, will be operated by a tenant entity owned by affiliates of Villa Healthcare and Ignite Medical Resorts; the parties will enter into a 12-year lease term with two 10-year renewals and a 2% annual escalator.
It is the first time all three entities — NHI, Ignite, and Villa Healthcare — have worked together, Villa president Ben Israel told Skilled Nursing News, though executives with Ignite and Villa have long-standing relationships. The new SNF, which is located in Oak Creek, Wis., is the second facility on which Ignite and Villa have partnered.
Villa provides several back-office services for Ignite, according to Ignite CEO Tim Fields, and that arrangement will continue in the new venture — with Ignite dealing with day-to-day operations and Villa handling such functions as accounting and billing. But Villa is no stranger to SNF operations; the company has a portfolio of 35 facilities, primarily in Minnesota and Michigan, with three in the state of Wisconsin.
"This was a project that Villa had anticipated doing on its own," Israel noted, adding that the bed licenses for the property came from Kindred Healthcare, which exited the SNF market last year. "We had initially purchased the beds from Kindred and then went to go identify some land to build the nicest and the newest facility in the state of Wisconsin."

Poor leftovers, they get such a bad rap from some folks. Even the name sounds pitiful! Well, before I tell you how we used some of last week's leftover in dinner-friendly ways, let's see how I did on my goals for this week:
Letter/Layout the rest of Chapter 4Done! *artist does the happy dance*
- Update the look of the website (theme testing and tweaking being done on a dev blog, first) *new theme installed, tweaking begun*
- Sketch some new header art for the website *working on it*
Two outta three (I'm giving myself half credit for each of the in-progresses) ain't bad. Meat Loaf is seldom wrong.
This week's goals look strangely familiar…
- Pencil at least 2 pages of Chapter 4
- Draft introduction (I've suddenly remembered that there are bookish parts to this thing, too, and I need to get on that)
- Finish webpage revamp
- Finish new header art
Something else that I've been working on is the recipe sponsorship options and incentives. Oh, yes, those are coming back–you still have time to be an actual printed part of the book! More details soon, I promise.
Now, about those leftovers.
As usual, I over-prepared for Game Night. In my defense, several who RSVP'd had to make last-minute cancellations, so there was some overage right off the bat, and some who came, came late or left early, skewing my figures. Totally my fault, though, was setting out heavy hors d'oeuvres only 2 hours before dinner. Realistically, I could have done one or the other and been perfectly fine, food-wise, but I like to have not only variety but make sure there's no way we're going to run out of food.
In that sense, I was totally covered.
Still, we had leftovers and they needed to be dealt with.
Leftover soup was simple: we had it for dinner a couple times the following week (score for me: no cooking and no additional grocery shopping!). But what about the more snacky bits, how to make them into actual dinner? Here were 2 of my creative (and tasty) solutions:
Black Bean Dip became a base for taco salads. With plenty of tortilla chips still in the house, a layer of bean dip was added (in the place usually reserved for refried beans), topped with seasoned ground beef from the freezer, diced Colby-Jack cheese, lettuce, salsa and Greek yogurt (we use it in place of sour cream). Not only was the bean dip delicious, it contains very little fat (I'd say none, but there is avocado in the dip–granted, that's a healthy plant fat) compared to most refried beans.
Bacon-wrapped artichoke hearts (almost never leftovers of any number, but this time we had a dozen pieces or so post-party) were diced, along with Swiss cheese, and used to fill 2-egg omelets for a light supper another night. With such flavorful fillings, the eggs themselves needed only a touch of salt and pepper and a splash of milk. Add some sausage links or fresh fruit to round out the meal.
(items in bold were things leftover from the party)
Until next time…

Jaboticaba Brazilian Grape Tree Plinia Cauliflora Seeds
Fresh Seeds still in fruit. 15 FRESHLY HARVESTED WHOLE FRUIT.
Also know by Eugenia cauliflora, Eugenia jaboticaba, Myrcia jaboticaba, Myrciaria cauliflora, Myrciaria jaboticaba, Myrtus cauliflora, Myrtus jaboticaba, Grape tree, Jaboticaba, Jabotica, Jabuticabeira, Guaperu, Guapuru, Hivapuru, Sabará, Yvapurũ and Brazilian Grape.
Awesome seasonal fruit that keeps producing for a couple months. Loves creeklines and rivers, but is still very drought hardy.
What you are buying is 15 freshly picked fully ripe fruit, each containing at least one viable seed.
I will pick or collect the fruit, I will put the fruit in a labelled baggie, I will put the baggie in a bubble mailer, and send it out to you standard postage, within two days.
About ten days to two weeks from the date of payment the fruit will arrive at your place.
On arrival thoroughly wash and remove all the fruit flesh, and plant them in a nice well drained soil, water and wait. You may want to use a sterile medium or an antifungal to stop damping off issues. I don't bother.
Why send it special?
Seed of this species older than 3 months, or seed that has had the fruit skin pierced or removed before storage has a greatly reduced germination.
I will only send these difficult to store seeds like this, and they will only be available while the fruit is available. If I go out to pick your order and the bats or critters have eaten them all, then you will be refunded immediately.
You will not get fresher seeds anywhere, but due to sometimes difficult nature of the seeds, please look at germination as a gamble, and if you can not afford to not have success, then please choose an easier species.
When thoroughly washed, fresh seeds like this should have a near 70% strike rate but fungi and rotten fruit pieces can mean a ZERO% strike rate.
These guys are a gamble.

Day one of the Seward County Saints trip to the Lone Star State Saturday will not be one that they will want to stay in their memory bank for long. Taking on Odessa in a doubleheader, the Saints were hammered 11-2 and 11-1 by the Wranglers to send them to 4-8 on the young season.
Odessa was on the board early and often in game one, plating three runs in the bottom half of the 1st to take a 3-0 lead on the Saints after one.
The Wranglers blew things open early on with a four spot in the 2nd to make it a 7-0 game.
It was a 9-0 game in favor of Odessa after four as the Wranglers pushed two more across in the 4th to put the game away midway through.
The Saints finally got on the board in the 5th with a pair of runs to make it 9-2, but Odessa answered with two of their own in the 6th to push their lead back to nine at 11-2.
Seward put two on in their final at bats in the 7th, but struck out three times, including a backwards K to finish things off in an 11-2 Wrangler win.
The Wranglers pounded out 17 hits against Seward pitching in the contest while Seward had 9 hits in the loss. Four different Saints had multiple hits in the game including Errett Edwards who finished 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Brian Tims took the loss on the hill, allowing 12 hits and 9 runs, 6 earned in 3 2/3 to fall to 1-2 on the year.
SEWARD COUNTY/ODESSA GAME ONE BOX SCORE<http://www.sewardsaints.com/sports/bsb/2016-17/boxscores/20170218_uxnu.xml>
Game two didn't start much better for Seward as Odessa struck for six unearned runs after a Saint error in the 2nd to take an early 6-0 lead.
The Saints had a chance to answer back in the top of the 3rd as they put two on with one out, but a line drive and a strikeout ended the threat and kept the Wranglers comfortably in front 6-0.
Odessa added another run in the 4th and then blew the game wide open in the sixth with four more to make it an 11-0 game.
Seward got their only run of the game on a balk from Odessa pitcher Wellington Belen and went down quietly in the 7th 11-1.
The Wranglers outhit Seward 13-8 in the game, but it wasn't the hits that hurt the Saints, it was their three errors that led to six unearned Odessa runs in the contest. Tabor Johns was the only Saint with multiple hits in the game as he finished 2 for 3 with the lone Seward run scored. Jordan Pepper took the loss on the mound, falling to 0-1 on the year as he allowed 8 hits and 7 runs in 4 1/3 innings pitched.

Gemcitabine Side Effects
A few of the most common side effects of gemcitabine include increased liver enzymes, leukopenia, and nausea and vomiting. Some side effects occur less frequently, but are much more serious and should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately. Seek medical attention right away if you develop serious gemcitabine side effects such as difficulty breathing, blood in the stool, or any signs of an allergic reaction.
An Introduction to Gemcitabine Side EffectsAs with any medicine, side effects are possible with gemcitabine (Gemzar®). However, not everyone who takes the medication will experience side effects. In fact, some people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in some cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are easily treated by you or your healthcare provider.

In these studies, the most common side effects of gemcitabine included:
- Increased liver enzymes (which can be a sign of liver damage) -- in up to 72 percent of people
- Leukopenia (low levels of certain white blood cells called leukocytes) -- up to 71 percent
- Nausea and vomiting -- up to 69 percent of people (see Chemotherapy and Nausea)
- Anemia -- up to 68 percent (see Chemotherapy and Anemia)

- Diarrhea (see Chemotherapy-Induced Diarrhea)
- Bleeding
- Hair loss (see Gemzar and Hair Loss)

The following blog post was written by James Thurston – Director of International Accessibility Policy at Microsoft. James works with Microsoft's global subsidiaries, NGOs, and governments around the world to develop public policies that support broad digital inclusion.
Last month, I joined the annual meeting of the Human Rights Coalition of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, DC. In all my years working on accessibility, I had never come across an event where scientists and technologists together explored how technology could expand and safeguard human rights.
But, the linkage between human rights and technology is important. At the United Nations, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities stresses the role of technology in enabling rights. In the treaty, Article 9 talks about the power of technology for people with disabilities to enjoy their human rights and fundamental freedoms. It marks the first time a human rights treaty raises access to technology to such a high level, where digital inclusion is defined as a human right.
At Microsoft, we absolutely agree that technology and human rights are connected, and we recognize it explicitly.
Our corporate human rights statement says that as a global company operating in more than 100 countries, we believe a human rights strategy should respect all human rights, including civil, political, economic, social, and cultural.
Last year, we created a Technology and Human Rights Center in the company to deepen integration of human rights within our company's culture, business operations and strategies. We demonstrate our commitment to human rights in other ways, including by partnering with governments, disabled persons organizations and non-governmental organizations to implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in countries around the world.
The event last month was a great opportunity to explore how the technology community, including Microsoft and the members of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, can continue to promote the human rights of persons with disabilities.

Dorota, my lovely technician, put me at ease the moment I arrived at the studio, but I still braced myself at the start of the session, expecting a thousand tiny elastic bands to snap away at my sensitive lady parts, and… nothing! No pain! Finally, a company that stands by its claims! It actually felt like a warm stone massage, and the procedure took a fraction of the time than regular lasers. Chi-Chi gets two (hairless) thumbs up from me!

Luxury Property for Sale on the French Riviera
Nestled on the French Riviera is the stunning cosmopolitan city of Nice, the second-largest city in France. Appropriately nicknamed Nice la Belle, translating to Nice the Beautiful, the city sits on the Mediterranean coastline on the southeast of France. It's incredible Mediterranean climate has caught the attention of many upper class nationalities over the years, attracting property investors, international residents and jet-setters purchasing second homes in the city.
Nice first attracted the attention of wealthy Englishmen during the 18th Century, when aristocratic families preferred spending their winters in the warmer Mediterranean climate that the Côte d'Azur offers. The main seaside promenade in Nice, Promenade des Anglais, translating to Walkway of the English, comes from the resort town's original holidaymakers.
Nice's growing popularity with tourists as well as residents has forced the city into making changes and develop further with new hotels and residences. Nice currently has the second largest hotel capacity in France and hosts over four million visitors per year. It's local airport, Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport, is also one of the busiest in France, coming in third place after the two airports in the nation's capital of Paris. The airport is also a gateway for visitors on their way to the Principality of Monaco, located just 8 miles (13km) away.
Aside from the city's beautiful views, excellent weather conditions and historic buildings, Nice also holds its position as a significant cultural centre. The city has, over the years, attracted many famous painters and sculptors, including Chagall, Matisse and Arman, to name a few. The city's rich history and the works of local famous artists is represented in local museums, including the Musée Marc Chagall, Musée Matisse and the Musée des Beaux-Arts, among others. Nice has also been home to several significant composers and intellectuals over time.
The Mediterranean climate is one of the most attracting characters of Nice, offering hot coastal summers and mild winters with little rainfall. Snow is so extremely rare in Nice that, when it does snow, locals celebrate these days with special events throughout the city. The area benefits of natural vegetation that is consistent with a Mediterranean climate, with evergreen shrubs, dense forested areas, palm trees, eucalyptus and citrus fruit trees.
The port of Nice, also known as Lympia Port is one of the most popular on the French Riviera. The port's nickname comes from the Lympia spring, known for feeding the lake where work was started on the port in 1745. Aside from the city's main Lympia Port, there is also a smaller port in the Carras district.
Vieux Nice (Old Town) is one of the most tranquil areas in the city. The street running parallel to the Promenade des Anglais is known as one of the most popular pedestrian zones in Nice; cars in this area are forbidden. Vieux Nice is home to many historical squares, lined with exquisite restaurants offering all types of cuisine, including traditional Niçoise, French, Spanish and Italian, among others. Niçois cuisine is similar to that of Provence, Liguria and Piedmont, using local ingredients including anchovies, fruit, vegetables and olive oil. Other products are delivered by Northern European ships visiting Nice to collect local olive oil.
Vieux Nice also has endless cafés and bakeries with beautiful terraces where one can enjoy the area's fine offerings, as well as an abundance of small shops and boutiques selling clothes, shoes and souvenirs of the area.
Nice hosts several festivals throughout the year, including the famous Carnaval de Nice in February and the much-loved Nice Jazz Festival. Many of these festivals attract tourists from all over the world.

Broadband issues have figured in our news a lot this year. Much of that was centred on government reviews including those of the "Digital Dividend", the Telecommunications Service Obligation (TSO), and the Telecommunications Act.
One of the things common to each of these reviews, is that our government's proposed broadband outcomes do not favour rural people and businesses.
The multi million dollar Digital Dividend to be reaped by the government will be paid by the large telcos of Telecom, Vodafone and 2Degrees. This means increased revenue flows to achieve their desired return on investment. The consequence is ever higher broadband costs for those rural people who rely on mobile technologies for fixed broadband services.
The TSO looks likely to be scraped. This will save an impost on the telcos but at the price of the availability and affordability of telecommunication services to rural New Zealanders.
Amy Adams' review of the Telecommunications Act requires copper-based broadband users to pay a higher price than that justified by international cost-based comparisons. Chorus will be the beneficiary of the enhanced income stream.
If this assessment of the government's policy direction is proved wrong, I will be pleased. If not, rural households and small businesses will be at an economic disadvantage compared to their urban cousins.
The economic impact of broadband policies on households was brought home to me last week in a just-published study of the relationship between household incomes and broadband speed.
The study, done by Swedish telecommunications equipment supplier Ericsson, is the first to quantify the impact of broadband speed on household incomes.
They found that the average increase in household incomes for a broadband speed upgrade from 4 to 8 Mbps was US$120 per month in OECD countries. For BIC [Brazil, India and China] households, incomes went up by US$46 per month when broadband was upgraded from 0.5 to 4 Mbps.
The study supports the idea that the gains from increasing broadband speeds, increase where more advanced services are available via the broadband access.
It seems reasonable to consider this idea against our government's urban Ultra Fast and Rural Broadband policies.
Urban households will see broadband speeds increasing above the present average of 11 Mbps as the UFB network is rolled out.
Rural households dependent on the 3G wireless network, will see average speeds of under 5 Mbps decreasing as mobile broadband use flourishes.
These speed comparisons are consistent with the OPEC and BIC data. Is the conclusion concerning household incomes also comparable?
Why does increasing broadband speeds lead to increasing household incomes? There are several reasons.
First, high speed broadband gives access to more advanced services. Through services like videoconferencing, more effective and productive ways of working increases personal productivity.
Second is that future services will be defined by the speeds available to the majority.
Third, repeated studies show that broadband enables people to become more informed, better educated, and socially enriched, leading to a faster and higher-paying career path.
As broadband technologies innovate and mature, participants with lower speed broadband will find it harder to stay competitive in the labor market – reducing their chances of finding a job and building capital.
The Ericsson study demonstrates that the more advanced an economy, the greater the benefits that flow from high speed broadband.
Yet in New Zealand, government broadband policies, reviews and actions are all pointing in a direction that disadvantages rural households and businesses.

Would Cowboys' Bryant sit out first game? Sure, why not?
By most accounts, Jerry Jones is a generous soul, prone to bestowing untold kindnesses upon the people he holds near and dear.
In fact, if the NFL didn't have a salary cap, Owner Jones conceivably could be half-broke by now, Dez Bryant would be the world's richest football-catcher and the Dallas Cowboys would have a dozen Lombardi Trophies.
But as Jerry himself said recently, rules are rules.
"These are difficult decisions that are part of the NFL," Jones said, upon the occasion of free agent running back DeMarco Murray signing with rival Philadelphia.
"They are decisions that take into account the entire team, the current economic structure of the team, and the financial concerns for the short and long term future of the team.
"At the end of the day, this is about finding the best way to collectively fit all of the individual pieces together, in terms of talent, offensive players, defensive players and dollars — under the salary cap structure — that gives you the best chance to have a championship team."
So says the man who will pay quarterback Tony Romo, who has yet to play in a championship game, $94.4 million over the next four seasons.
Bryant isn't asking for $94 million, we think, but he doesn't seem enthralled with the prospect of negotiating with the Joneses, owner Jerry and son Stephen, every off-season. Hence, his threat to sit out the first game of the season, if the Cowboys don't address Dez's long-term security by the deadline of July 15.
Would Dez really sit out a game?
Sure, why not? Bryant could recoup the lost game check in his eventual new contract. And what's the worst that Owner Jones could do, whisper rumors about Dez's house mates misbehaving to the NFL Network?
Whoever tried to muddy Bryant's reputation either mistimed the alleged leak or miscalculated its impact. If Bryant were declared a free agent tomorrow, his phone wouldn't stop ringing.
Extrapolating further, a healthy, free agent Bryant next year could even attract more than the guaranteed $50 million that Calvin Johnson has.
Dez is that good — that valuable, one could argue, to a team that finally has another Super Bowl within reach.
Why play stupid money games, therefore, with Bryant, of all people?
The answer, we're supposed to assume, is somewhere in Owner Jones' above statement.
If he's still considered a behavior risk, let's hear it, because some of us don't see it. Instead, we've watched Bryant mature during his five seasons as a pro.
He can be thoughtful and articulate. The TV networks focus on his fiery sideline outbursts, but Bryant and his Cowboys teammates insist it's all about winning.
On Twitter, Bryant chattered about wanting security. He presumably means guaranteed money, something north of $28 million (because he could earn that anyway by being slapped with the franchise tag this year and next) and south of Johnson's $50 million.
Owner Jones and Son, therefore, should just split the difference and guarantee Dez $39 million.
The last thing the Joneses should want is a healthy Bryant going to free agency, and letting the (pick one) Seahawks, Eagles, etc., set his 2016 price.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. If the two sides can't agree by July 15, Bryant may well miss a game. Why not?
Clocks are ticking everywhere, frankly. Romo's clock. Owner Jones' clock.
The Cowboys' "best chance to have a championship team" is now. Risking any part of that without their best player seems a foolish risk.
