10kt Blue Topaz Statement Ring, Size 6.25, White Gold, Appx. 7.5 TCW
$ 250.99
10kt Blue Topaz Statement Ring, Sz. 6.25, 7.5TCW, Appx. 3.26 gr. White Gold. Marked 10kt and tested. Signed OTC. Large Oval stone that is appx. 13.5mm by 20mm. Sits high on the finger at appx. 8.5mm with open bridge work under the stone. The band is appx. 5mm at the top shoulders of the ring and tapers down to 1.5mm at the back of the finger. The stone looks perfect. The stone may be lab created. This does not mean glass or crystal but actual topaz that is grown in a lab under pressure with the same materials as the natural gemstone. Lab stones are not simulated stones but lab created stones with the same properties as a natural gemstone. Jewelry stores also sell lab created stones and may say "real" or "genuine" in front of their name but unless they say "natural" they are likely lab created as it allows jewelry to be a little more affordable. Very good, like new condition. (INV. W.1.420.10X4, WV193, LDMV 1.10.20)
Jewelry is not stored on site and may take a few hours to answer questions. Thank you for stopping in - mariasvintage.com
Please note that most of my photos are taken at 10X magnification. This shows any blemishes much more magnified than they really are.
I keep great notes about each item and can answer most questions quickly, but I do not store fine jewelry on premises, so answers about specific measurements may take some time as I arrange to inspect the piece again.
In addition to this website, Maria's Vintage, I am on eBay as stampshopgirl, on Etsy as stampshopgirl, and on StorEnvy as Maria's. I have many vintage jewelry items and other vintage and new items - a very wide variety.
I will combine shipping, even if you buy items from one of my other stores. If you purchase one item and know you'll be picking more, just email me and let me know and I will ship them at the same time and refund the shipping over the combined limit.
Given the number of different items I carry it is hard to know what combination of items can be purchased to pre-plan the shipping, so just email me and we will work it out to save you shipping charges whenever possible.

text: danp2482 #26 Posted August 9, 2019 Day 3: Nassau For those that read the Symphony review, you know that we've been fortunate enough to have ported there a handful of times so now we tend to stay on the ship and enjoy lighter crowds while onboard. We woke up on day 3, got ready and headed up to the vitality spa to use the gym which is deck 12 aft. A lot of people posted how upset they were with how the renovations affected the gym on navigator and how they ruined it. I will say, the gym was a bit small and the ceilings were very low! I felt like I was going to hit my head on the ceiling as I used the elliptical. Nichole knocked out a quick 4 miles and I used an elliptical. Even thought the gym is small and cramped, it seemed like all the equipment was new and it all worked. We headed back down to the room to get cleaned up and head to breakfast. I grabbed some pics of the sport deck and solarium pool on the way back! We grabbed breakfast at WJ and then head to the WJ bar where (you guessed it) Herbert was waiting for us! He cracked a few jokes and put 2 fresh squeezed OJ screwdrivers in front of us. He also made us iced lattes. As I ate breakfast, a 2nd screwdriver showed up and then a 3rd! My intention was not to get buzzed during breakfast but my man Herbert was a bad influence! We finished up breakfast and headed out to the main pool. Dumbo was showing poolside and Nichole wanted to see it. We grabbed a few in water loungers and took in the movie. After that we headed into the solarium and grabbed a couple of loungers in the shade. Nichole grabbed a quick nap and I headed to Lime & Coconut to people watch. I went back after about an hour and we headed back to WJ for lunch. We headed back out to the solarium and relaxed a bit. Around 3 we headed back out to the main pool to relax and get a decent spot for the belly flop competition. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mid Coast Modern Wins MO Rising Star Award for Small Businesses
Matt Bramlette is the owner and operator of Mid Coast Modern, a Crossroads-based retailer that sells apparel, home goods, gifts and other products—much of it from regional, "mid coast" creators.
Mid Coast Modern just won a Rising Star Award from the Missouri Small Business and Technology Development Centers—one of 10 winners statewide and the only one from the Kansas City metro.
Bramlette talked with Thinking Bigger Business about how he started the shop and what lessons he's learned along the way.
Tell me a little about Mid Coast Modern. What kinds of products do you sell? How would you describe it to someone who's never been there before?
Mid Coast Modern is a source for design-centric home goods, apparel, jewelry, artwork and limited edition gifts. We support indie business, makers and artists from the "mid coast" and bring in goods from indie business, makers and artists around the U.S., to offer a unique, fresh selection.
What's the origin story of your business? How long have you been in operation, and why did you decide to go into business for yourself? Did you immediately open a brick-and-mortar location, or did you sell online first?
I worked as a designer and art director at various agencies in Kansas City for many years and decided I wanted to experience a new career. I wanted something that related in some way. Many of the products I carry are created by former ad people and designers. So, I get to work with creative, passionate people on a small scale and help them grow their small business. And I get to continue with my experience in branding, but with my own products and business.
I did not start out online because I felt like breaking through that wall and getting out to strangers was even more difficult online. There are so many retail websites out there that it's a sea of options. A brick-and-mortar can be a bit more relevant with this type of more localized business. I don't carry exclusively KC-made products, and that isn't the goal. But about 40 percent of what I carry is KC made, and I'm totally supportive of the local scene and have popups with local makers regularly.
Community is a huge reason I got involved with this. We are going in our sixth month of operation.
You worked with Rebecca Gubbels, a consultant at the University of Missouri-Kansas City's Small Business Development Center. How did Rebecca and the center help you?
I took a FastTrac business course with Rebecca as the instructor. As a designer and not particularly a business person, I was clueless to the business side of things. The class was very informative about all the important business topics that needed to be addressed. To be honest, my store was a mere concept, and some of the class topics glossed over my comprehension until I got the business up and running. It's a lot of info to take in before you have an actual business in place.
But I have revisited the class book many times since opening and Rebecca has been kind enough to offer some follow-up assistance a few times. She is extremely busy, and to go the extra mile says a lot about her commitment to the program and helping mentor new businesses.
What's been the most challenging part of launching your business?
The most challenging part for sure is getting customers in the door to shop. We did a good job with grand opening and did well during holiday for a new business, but it was A LOT of work promoting and getting awareness without spending money. People have lots of options, and when you are a destination location, you have to really offer something special to get customers to go the extra mile.
Has there been anything about the process that's surprised you?
I'm not sure if anything has surprised me, but most of the warnings people have about opening a new business have come true. I think everyone thinks they can skip the growth parts, but it's just part of the reality.
The weather and sports has a major impact on business in Kansas City. That is tough for a brick-and-mortar, for sure. But, when sports are going well, business picks up, as long as there isn't a game on! I'm not a sports shop by any means, but sports in Kansas City is the backbone for the city pride that has been so powerful in the last few years.
What's the next big goal you're working toward?
In addition to the store, I've launched a soap brand with my partner, Rick Leavitt, called Bear Soap Company. It's doing quite well and is definitely a focus in 2016. We plan to grow that brand and add more products and create a line. Also, as makers, we have yet another brand called Mid Coast /made. We have a growing list of goods including T-shirts, pillows, hats and custom drinking glasses.
In 2016, we've decided to participate in many of the artisan craft events in KC and even a few outside of KC. This will be a good opportunity to promote the store to a new market.

Judge my book by its cover
Had to put this out here because of an interesting thing that happened to me. So let's do a quick blog about book covers.
Do you judge a book by its cover? Do you judge how good it is by the cover? Do you judge what genre type of book it is by its cover?
The reason I ask this, is because of an invitation I was extended and then was later rescinded all based on the cover of my book. First, for those of you who are asking yourselves, "What does the cover look like?" Check out the left column of my blog or go to www.deniserobbins.com and voila, there it is.
Now that you have seen it. What do you think? Is it offensive? Does it make you think it is a "smut" book? Is it any worse than what you see on television or in-person at the beach?
Personally, I love it. It leaves everything to the imagination and lets you know that the story has swimming and diving and sharks in it. At no time do you see the woman's face because I don't want you to know what she looks like. I want you to use your imagination. Honestly, the only thing I want you to know is that she likes pink. . .see her fins. :-)
Now that I have asked my questions, let me tell you what happened. Yesterday afternoon I was asked if I wanted to be on a community TV show and talk about my book. WAHOO! Yeah!
So I emailed the woman who contacted me the information she requested, one of which she wanted to see the book cover. Well, about 15 minutes later I received the following message back.
I am so sorry Denise, but I am not going to be able to have you as the guest. My viewers will have a heart attack. I could get away with it if the cover was not so sexual because the story sounds fabulous. I have a lot of viewers that are of the older generation and they let me know what they like and dislike. Please do not feel bad but perhaps when you next book comes out let me check out the cover and that might work. We always show the book on the air as you are talking about it.
Notice that her take was that my cover was "sexual." For the record, I am a pretty easy going person and thought her email was hysterical. It was the first negative comment I have received about the cover. Most people think it is eye-catching and gorgeous. Me included! Yes, the book is a romantic-suspense, therefore it does contain love scenes, but so do books by Jonathan Kellerman, David Baldacci, Janet Evanovich, etc.
Here's a question. Do you think if David Baldacci had that same cover on his book that anyone would have thought it was "sexual?"
So, do you judge a book by its cover? Should you?
Share your thoughts.

Proposing used to be a simple affair. One knee, "Will you marry me?", job done.
The key in that sentence is 'used to be'. The traditions around a marriage proposal haven't completely disappeared but they have gained additional required elements like, surprise and spectacle and the popularity of destination proposals is on the rise.
Now there's nothing wrong with this and we're certainly not here to spoil the party! However, that's a lot of pressure for any 'proposee' and if you're feeling that kind of weight on your shoulders, you're not alone.
The destination proposal is becoming more and more popular and there are a great many reasons for this, but we've picked what we believe are the top five reasons that will make a destination proposal the right decision to make it an unforgettable moment.
Why a destination proposal?
#1 Being in 'Holiday Mode'
Being away aides your proposal because you're focused on one another.
For both parties this will be a memory that lasts a lifetime, and there will be elements of stress to it – what if he/she says no? Let's assume the actual proposal is a formality on that front! If you are on holiday or simply taking a short break however, the chances are that you're trying at least to relax. You've left the 'real world' behind and are focusing on each other for a few days. You are unlikely to achieve this kind of focus on home turf where everyday life pokes its nose in and has a tendency to meddle.
#2 There are fewer things to trip you up
That's not strictly true (and hence why we encourage you to seek assistance to help with the smooth running of your proposal) but there are certainly fewer things likely to disrupt your plans!
You may be keen to orchestrate an outdoor proposal. If you choose the right destination, at the right time of year, you can mitigate against tropical downpours and hurricane winds. You can have a crystal clear view, overlooking one of the most spectacular cityscapes in the world. Never thought about sunny Barcelona 😉 ?
The romantic bit isn't hard in those conditions!
There's also the relative isolation you have away from home. The number one most likely thing to mess up your surprise proposal is …. whoever you confide in, and you can't organise a special proposal alone. Ordering rings, cleaning your shoes – all behaviours can seem suspicious to the inquisitive mind and the simple act of booking a table at a fancy restaurant may be treated with suspicion!
Being away in a different environment, whether it's new to you or not, means that most behaviour will be viewed as unusual so you can do all sorts of strange things in the run up to your proposal and get away with it!
#3 Cameras aren't unusual
Many people like to capture the moment they make their proposal. It would however be a little odd to whip out your phone to take pictures or a video at your favourite local restaurant at home! You may even alert people to what's going on by doing so. So unless you're an instagramer who always takes pictures of their dinner companion and side-salad, you're unlikely to get away with this without raising eyebrows.
However – being away is different. You can take your phone or a camera anywhere and your partner may not even be alerted to a stranger discretely taking pictures – this is how you can capture the entire event to share with your family if you wish. It takes a little organising to find the right photographer (we've done the hard work on that one too) and you may even want to meet again in a few days to do a more formal 'engagement shoot'.
#4 The surprise element
As much as people want the process of being proposed to, or proposing, to be a surprise, the event itself shouldn't really be too much of a shock! Most people are on the same page about marriage when it comes to the stage where a proposal is on the cards so it's worth considering how much of a surprise you'd like to create. When you're planning your destination proposal, you should be going for amazement and excitement, not disbelief and a bombshell! There's a fine line so make sure you're thinking about how your partner might like to experience that event, as well as how you'd like to arrange it.
#5 You can keep in your bubble
Announcing your engagement to your nearest and dearest has to be orchestrated very carefully. One wrong move and your Great Aunt Flo will hear the news from her neighbours-daughters-school friend who heard it on Facebook and then you really will be in the dog house!
Being away gives you time to discuss your announcement strategy and if you want, stay in your proposal bubble as long as you're away from home. There's no need for anyone to know whilst you're away and you can enjoy the experience, just the two of you.
We find that many people like to do their proposal early in their holiday so that they maximise this time together. Perhaps they shop for a ring, discuss venues and maybe even set a date. In the destination proposal, you can achieve all this without distraction and you may even be able to make your announcement with many elements of your wedding already planned out.
Many people who choose the destination proposal, actually come back the same place for their nuptials. This place can hold strong personal memories for you, and you already have one successful event under your belt so why not build on that?
If you do choose this route it is really important that you select your proposal destination with care. Does it have sufficient venues for the two of you to choose from? Are you able to get the support you need to make arrangements when you're far away? Is it accessible for friends and family, the people you'd like to share your wedding with? All these questions need to be answered if you intend to revisit your proposal location for your wedding day.
Of course, we're head over heals about Barcelona so of course we think it's the best place to set the scene…. but we would say that. However there are good reasons for this and in coming weeks we'll cover some of the reasons to chose Barcelona for you proposal.
If you like the idea of a destination proposal, please simply get in touch and we can talk to you about your ideas. It's simpler than you might imagine and sets the scene for what is no doubt, one of the most important days of your life.

To Renovate or Not to Renovate?

A homeowner dilemma: To stay-and-renovate an existing property
or to buy-and-move into a new house

A homeowner dilemma: To stay-and-renovate an existing property
or to buy-and-move into a new house
2011 @ wobuilt.com
When talking to prospective clients often they wrestle with the choice "Shall we renovate or just move?"
Even though there are many reasons that will play a role in the decision, such as loving the house, proximity to schools/amenities, friendly neighbours, gardens, making the house exactly as you want it etc, money is high on the list.
Let's look at the following scenario: An existing house and a new house located in the same Toronto's west end neighbourhood.
The existing house required a rear or side extension to gain extra bedroom or family space : Current value: $ 400,000 + Reno cost $100,000 + HST
New house with required extra space (some renovation required): Estimated: $475,000 - $500,000
Scenario 1: To Renovate an Existing House
(owner can live in property while it is renovated)
Current value: $400,000
Renovation costs (Addition): $100,000 + HST
Estimated renovation cost: $113,000
Total staying and renovating costs to get the extra space: $113,000
Scenario 2: To Move to a New House
(some renovation required)
Estimated value: $475,000 - $500,000
Upgrade costs:
Difference to existing house : $75,000 – $100,000
Land transfer tax: $11,200 - $12,200
Difference to existing house buying costs $86,200 – $112,200
Moving costs:
Commission: $24,000 + HST
Moving expenses: Estimated: $2,000 + HST
Legal expenses: Estimated: $1,500 + HST
Home inspections: Average: $500 + HST
Minimum renovation: (window coverings, painting, bathroom upgrades, new carpets etc): $10,000 + HST
Estimated moving costs: $42,940
Total upgrade and moving costs to get the extra space: $131,140 - $154,940
Of course this is a simplified calculation and in reality the cost will vary according to the specific circumstances, but the case can be made that a renovation is more cost effective in the above situation.

Abstract and Introduction
Aim Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease including atherosclerosis. The pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis (AS) also includes an inflammatory component. We therefore investigated the risk of AS in patients with psoriasis compared with the general population in a nationwide cohort.
Methods The study comprised the entire Danish population aged ≥18 years followed from 1 January 1997 until diagnosis of AS, 31 December 2011, or death. Information on comorbidity, concomitant medication, and socioeconomic status was identified by individual-level linkage of administrative registers. Incidence rates for AS were calculated and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) adjusted for age, gender, calendar year, comorbidity, medications, and socioeconomic status, were estimated in Poisson regression models.
Results A total of 5 107 624 subjects were eligible for analysis. During the study period, we identified 58 747 patients with mild psoriasis and 11 918 patients with severe psoriasis. The overall incidence rates for AS were 8.09, 16.07, and 20.08 per 10 000 person-years for the reference population (48 539 cases [mean follow-up 12.3 years]), mild psoriasis (509 cases [mean follow-up 6.2 years]), and severe psoriasis (99 cases [mean follow-up 5.4 years]), respectively. Correspondingly, the fully adjusted IRRs for AS were markedly increased in patients with psoriasis with IRR 1.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12–1.33) and IRR 1.61 (CI 1.32–1.96) for subjects with mild and severe disease, respectively.
Conclusion In a nationwide cohort, psoriasis was associated with a disease severity-dependent increased risk of AS. The mechanisms underlying this novel finding require further study.
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory disease estimated to affect between 0.9 (USA) and 8.5% (Norway) of the world's population.[1] Psoriasis appears to be an independent risk factor for ischaemic heart disease and shares inflammatory mechanisms with atherosclerosis.[2–8] Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is one of the most frequent valvular diseases with prevalence increasing from 0.2% in adults between 50 and 59 years to 9.8% in octogenarians, and is associated with major morbidity, mortality, and societal economic burden.[9,10] Aortic valve stenosis shares risk factors with atherosclerosis (e.g. smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolaemia) and the pathogenesis of AS also has a number of similarities with atherosclerosis with active remodelling processes in which inflammation plays an important role.[9,11–14] From this perspective, a link between AS and psoriasis due to shared inflammatory pathways and overlap of classical cardiovascular risk factors may exist. We therefore used Danish nationwide registers to determine the risk of AS in patients with psoriasis compared with the general population.

Lunch in Mitte: Qua Phe
I imagine if you live and work in Mitte, you want a delicious lunch and you want it fast – something that's feeding you without making you tired, that's tickling your taste buds without being unnecessarily experimental – all of which you can find at Qua Phe, the Vietnamese coffee house that serves really good lunch fare.
I finally went for lunch after already having enjoyed their Vietnamese coffee and sweet treats last winter, and chose the xôi, sticky rice with marinated herb-tofu (4,80 Euro), as well as the phở cuốn, rice crepes filled with Vietnamese coleslaw, coriander, tofu, and herb and soy sauce (4,50 Euro). A more logical addition to the sticky rice – that I had to order because I love sticky rice and think it's way underrepresented in Berlin – would've probably been the gỏi, a salad with glass noodles, celery, mint, pickled baby eggplants, and lotus roots for 5,00 Euro. However, the crepes were really good, especially when adding hot sauce.
My favorite was the sticky rice though, for once: obviously. But also because the herb marinade just added loads to the tofu, and I feel like sometimes Berlin chefs forget that tofu actually doesn't taste like much on its own. It also had roasted onions on top and came with a little slaw, all in all making this dish a pleasure for a quick lunch break. If you want to make it longer, have a dessert: the Vietnamese coffee is a must, slowly dripping on the sweet condensed milk, and then add a steamed chocolate bun, or vanilla-mungbean-mochi in ginger and coconut sauce, or even more sticky rice, this time in red and in the shape of cake with mungbeans, sesame and coconut sauce – or the black one with Vietnamese yoghurt. So many options!

Relative strength is one of the most useful indicators in the market, highlighting when stocks and sectors are outperforming or underperforming a broader index. Traditional RS compares the percentage change of one symbol over a given time frame and subtracts the percentage change of the S&P 500 over the same period. This is handy, but it can produce false...
Moving averages are perhaps the most common indicator in the world of technical analysis, highlighting trends over time by smoothing out values. Because they show direction, moving averages inevitably rise or fall. These changes are often obvious in retrospect, but now they can be spotted as they happen with our MA Speed script. This indicator calculates one of...
Moving averages are one of the most basic tools for technical analysts. They can be useful for both trend analysis and for mean reversion. But how can you know when price is historically overbought or oversold relative to a moving average? Distance from MA can help. This indicator calculates the distance from a moving average as a percentage and plots the result...
Price is never wrong, but sometimes reading it can be tricky. Movements in the broader market or a sector can distract from a symbol that's been steadily trending in one direction or another. Sometimes the beginning of a move can also be so subtle that it flies under most people's radar. Price Streak can help overcome these limitations by tracking consecutive...
Volume can help confirm signals we might discover using other methods of technical analysis. This indicator tracks volume intelligently. Its logic spots above-average turnover and then tests against the price change. BrkVol highlights sessions with heavy volume and directional moves. This can help take out the noise and help confirm the trend. Tesla is a...
Moving averages are perhaps the most popular indicator in technical analysis. But sometimes they're not the easiest to interpret.

Google employees have carried out their own investigation into the company's plan to launch a censored search engine for China and say they are concerned that development of the project remains ongoing, The Intercept can reveal.
Late last year, bosses moved engineers away from working on the controversial project, known as Dragonfly, and said that there were no current plans to launch it. However, a group of employees at the company was unsatisfied with the lack of information from leadership on the issue — and took matters into their own hands.
The group has identified ongoing work on a batch of code that is associated with the China search engine, according to three Google sources. The development has stoked anger inside Google offices, where many of the company's 88,000 workforce previously protested against plans to launch the search engine, which was designed to censor broad categories of information associated with human rights, democracy, religion, and peaceful protest.
In December, The Intercept reported that an internal dispute and political pressure on Google had stopped development of Dragonfly. Google bosses had originally planned to launch it between January and April of this year. But they changed course after the outcry over the plan and indicated to employees who were working on the project that it was being shelved.
Google's Caesar Sengupta, an executive with a leadership role on Dragonfly, told engineers and others who were working on the censored search engine in mid-December that they would be allocated new projects funded by different "cost centers" of the company's budget. In a message marked "confidential – do not forward," which has been newly obtained by The Intercept, Sengupta told the Dragonfly workers:
Over the past few quarters, we have tackled different aspects of what search would look like in China. While we've made progress in our understanding of the market and user needs, many unknowns remain and currently we have no plans to launch.
Back in July we said at our all hands that we did not feel we could make much progress right now. Since then, many people have effectively rolled off the project while others have been working on adjacent areas such as improving our Chinese language capabilities that also benefit users globally. Thank you for all of your hard work here.
As we finalize business planning for 2019, our priority is for you to be productive and have clear objectives, so we have started to align cost centers to better reflect what people are actually working on.
Thanks again — and your leads will follow up with you on next steps.
Sources with knowledge of Dragonfly said staff who were working on the project were not told to immediately cease their efforts. Rather, they were instructed to finish up the jobs they were doing and then they would be allocated new work on other teams. Some of those who were working on Dragonfly were moved into different areas, focusing on projects related to Google's search services in India, Indonesia, Russia, the Middle East, and Brazil.
But Google executives, including CEO Sundar Pichai, refused both publicly and privately to completely rule out launching the censored search engine in the future. This led a group of concerned employees — who were themselves not directly involved with Dragonfly — to closely monitor the company's internal systems for information about the project and circulate their findings on an internal messaging list.

Moving Out of the Residence Halls
by blogemu
You finally feel free – classes are done for the summer and you (hopefully) passed all of your exams. But then you realize you have to somehow move everything out of your dorm without chaos ensuing. You definitely thought you needed those nine pillows but now it's dawning on you that your car just might not be big enough. To ease your mind of these stressful situations, here are some tips to remain sane come move out day:
- Take Things Home Over Time – instead of trying to take everything home at once, take stuff back periodically. Going home for the weekend? Pack the car with things that you won't be using. Friends or family coming up to visit? Send some things back with them. This makes the end of the year packing much easier.
- Pack Ahead – Don't wait until the last minute to put things together. Plan ahead and start packing a couple days before you want to leave. Things can take a lot longer than you think and you don't want to be rushing. Start with the stuff that you don't use on a daily basis (decorations, desk items, etc.) and then pack the necessities your last day you plan to stay.
- Don't Stock Up on Food – it's easy to continue your habits of buying food up until you leave. But whatever you buy, you'll have to take home. It's best to keep spending to a minimum so that everything will fit in the car.
- Consolidate – when packing, put your things in any organizers you brought with you. Instead of grabbing an extra bag to pack things up, use the storage container you used to store things during the year. This lessens how many large bags/containers will take up space.
- Double and TRIPLE Check – the worst thing to happen would be to get home and realize you left your charger in your desk drawer. Make sure all the drawers are empty and that nothing has fallen behind the furniture. You wouldn't want to wait a whole summer to get your stuff back.

On our trip there have been quite a few places that have stopped me in my tracks. The Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is one of them. The children are almost numb to anything church or cathedral – they were kept in the dark of today's trip because they would have revolted. Honestly, I didn't think we could see another cathedral that was really all that different from what we have already seen. I was wrong. This place cannot be missed. The outside is surreal but the real show stopper is the interior.
The architect is Antoni Gaudi – a famous architect of Barcelona who specialized in the Modernisme style. This style doesn't look like anything we've seen anywhere. The guidebooks and information describe his buildings as cakes in the rain or melting ice cream. Those descriptions are quite accurate. There are a number of buildings in the city of his and others of the style – but you have to pay about $20 per person to view the interiors. We decided that our money would best be spent on Gaudi's end-of life masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia (The Holy Family).
The outside definitely has the characteristics of melted ice cream but it is covered with sculptures. There are three entrances and each has it's own style and story. We could have spent hours just looking at the exteriors. The nativity side was completed during Gaudi's lifetime while the Passion entrance has only recently been completed. Work has been continuing on this goliath since the end of the 19th century. The HOPE to have it completed by 2026 in time for the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death.
The interior is like something out of Willy Wonka if there had been a church service scene. The columns were made to branch like trees into a canopy and the like shines in in a multitude of colors. No other church has ever captured light in such a striking manner. THere are no gold ornamentation, statues or wood carvings – it's just cement. Guadi employed geometry to design his pieces. Frank Lloyd Wright employed geometry as well but Gaudi took it up a notch and started incorporating calculus, his designs included parabolas, hyperboloids and helicoids. I didn't know what helicoids were before today. How he did this without super computers is simply amazing.
Maybe one day the children can return to see the finished project. According to Brent, at least it will be done before Crazy Horse.

Asian Carp arrived in the United States in 1963 as part of an experiment to reduce nuisance vegetation without the use of poisons that might enter the food chain, and sewage treatment. Prior to the Clean Water Act, American rivers were often highly polluted and the bottom feeding varieties of carp excelled in sewage treatment lagoons. Bighead Carp. This species of Asian carp consume microscopic zooplankton. Zooplankton is an important part of the diet for many native fish such as shad, buffalo, and paddlefish.Larval sport fish such as crappie, bass, and bluegill also depend upon zooplankton in their early life stage.
Bighead and silver carp are the Asian carp species that pose the greatest, immediate threat to basins and reaches of rivers not yet colonized. Black carp also poses risk of establishment and ecologic impact. Grass carp have already become widely established. As large populations of Asian carp become established, cumulative effects of. Introduced Asian carp in North America pose a major threat to the ecology, environment, economy, and way of life in the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada. Asian carp are a group of fish species, which include several known to be invasive, and represent the most urgent potential danger to the ecology of the Great Lakes.
However, new research was unable to redetect the presence of Asian carp, although several have been caught in Minnesota over the past two years. Possibilities of why Asian carp were not detected include a change in the method of sampling or a disappearance of the carp from Minnesota waterways.Kanji: 鯉. Asian carp can invade new bodies of water by accident. Anglers throwing cast nets for bait in the tailwaters of Kentucky and Barkley lakes or beneath locks and dams on the Ohio River may capture young Asian carp along with the native shad. Young Asian carp look exceptionally similar to .

Our experience
When we started our own business several years ago we quickly realized that we were going to fall short on our pension in the future and would have to continue working till at least the age of 70. Not a very alluring idea. We've seen couples where the wife was 16 years younger than the husband and by the time she reached the age of retirement he died.
Recently we were in a restaurant in Atlanta GA USA. The lady that waited our table was at least 75 years old. With insufficient funds to retire, she had no choice than to work till the end of her life. We were shocked! Someone that age should be taking care of her grandchildren.
Therefore we'd rather retire at 60.
However, with the money in the pension fund and the money we've saved over the years it is not possible to cover many years of retirement, given an life expectancy of 80. So what to do?

Where Jason recaps his adventures on Nerd Quiz Live, hosted by Michael Channing. Evan then drops some knowledge about Jack Torrance and why he and Wendy Torrance may have been having issues. Which leads us into a true crime story where we discuss, "Which movie is the best one to take your dad to after you've committed multiple murders?"
Then we get into Evans long day and how his ancestors were lazy asses, but respected lazy asses, which leads to a discussion of lazy-ass gym-rats. (Link to video below)
We discuss minorities in film, (or lack thereof). And we close with Etta James's "Feeling Uneasy" and how sometimes, less is more, or less is less, or damn woman just say something!!!
P.S. If you listen kids, your Dad will see "Terminator Genisys", and trust us you don't want that.
Watch video of lazy-ass gym-rat eating pizza HERE!

The Next Best Thing To Mummy
The Next Best Thing To Mummy Unicorn Oo personalised book review
Karen has spent years working as a registered childminder, we think she has read a story or two in that time. We sent her a Unicorn Oo book as a Christmas present for her granddaughter, Katlyn.
Bangon books asked a few questions in order to personalise the book: the child's name and whether it was for a boy or a girl, next I was asked to chose a character with the same colour hair as the child the book was for.
I could then add a special message for the child, making the book a real keepsake and something that will be treasured for many years to come.
I received an email confirming the the book was being processed and a week later a further message telling me that it was in the post, a few days later it arrived as promised.
Adventure and Excitement
As can be read in Karen's review she can't wait for her granddaughter to get her hands on her book, can you blame her? We are always excited for our books to be given to children and even adults, who wouldn't want to be the hero in their own adventure!
The book will entice children to want to have a try at reading by themselves because the adventure and illustrations make you want to discover what is going to happen next. Children who are too young to read themselves will equally enjoy the book being read to them by an adult , some of the illustrations can be used to promote early learning by pointing to objects or asking the child to find things, the page containing Katlyn's photo would be particularly good for this as it is of a bathroom containing items that young children will be familiar with.
Hannah has spent many hours on making sure there are lots of details in her hand drawn illustrations. Even now I still find little details in each scene that have almost gone unnoticed. I do have to admit I have spent too much time looking at the words when reading, maybe I need to have the story read to me so I can appreciate it more!

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Mechitharists
MECHITHARISTS, a congregation of Armenian monks in communion with the Church of Rome. The founder, Mechithar, was born at Sebaste in Armenia, 1676. He entered a monastery, but under the influence of Western missionaries he became possessed with the idea of propagating Western ideas and culture in Armenia, and of converting the Armenian Church from its monophysitism and uniting it to the Latin Church. Mechithar set out for Rome in 1695 to make his ecclesiastical studies there, but he was compelled by illness to abandon the journey and return to Armenia. In 1696 he was ordained priest and for four years worked among his people. In 1700 he went to Constantinople and began to gather disciples around him. Mechithar formally joined the Latin Church, and in 1701, with sixteen companions, he formed a definitely religious institute of which he became the superior. Their Uniat propaganda encountered the opposition of the Armenians and they were compelled to move to the Morea, at that time Venetian territory, and there built a monastery, 1706. On the outbreak of hostilities between the Turks and Venetians they migrated to Venice, and the island of St Lazzaro was bestowed on them, 1717. This has since been the headquarters of the congregation, and here Mechithar died in 1749, leaving his institute firmly established. The rule followed at first was that attributed to St Anthony; but when they settled in the West modifications from the Benedictine rule were introduced, and the Mechitharists are numbered among the lesser orders affiliated to the Benedictines. They have ever been faithful to their founder's programme. Their work has been fourfold: (1) they have brought out editions of important patristic works, some Armenian, others translated into Armenian from Greek and Syriac originals no longer extant; (2) they print and circulate Armenian literature among the Armenians, and thereby exercise a powerful educational influence; (3) they carry on schools both in Europe and Asia, in which Uniat Armenian boys receive a good secondary education; (4) they work as Uniat missioners in Armenia. The congregation is divided into two branches, the head houses being at St Lazzaro and Vienna. They have fifteen establishments in various places in Asia Minor and Europe. There are some 150 monks, all Armenians; they use the Armenian language and rite in the liturgy.
See Vita del servo di Dio Mechitar (Venice, 1901); E. Boré, Saint-Lazare (1835); Max Heimbucher, Orden u. Kongregationen (1907) I. § 37; and the articles in Wetzer u. Welte, Kirchenlexicon (ed. 2) and Herzog, Realencyklopädie (ed. 3), also articles by Sargisean, a Mechitharist, in Rivista storica benedettina (1906), "La Congregazione Mechitarista." (E. C. B.)

Play the Trompowsky Attack - Dmitry Kryakvin7565
Play the Trompowsky Attack - Dmitry Kryakvin7565
Product Details
With the efforts of Magnus Carlsen, the ancient attack 1.d4, nf6; 2.Bg5 has earned, lately great popularity. The world champion posed problems in the Trompowsky to such opening experts as Vladimir Kramnik and Sergey Karjakin. He even employed the bishop sortie in the world title match against Karjakin.
The early attack on the black knight does not allow the Nimzo-Indian, the Gruenfeld or the King's Indian, which all require from White deep theoretical knowledge in well trodden lines. The Trompowsky brings on the board fresh, creative and complex positions.
Russian Grandmaster Dmitry Kryakvin bases his recommendations on his own tournament practice, with stern tests at a Grandmaster level. The book is aimed at a wide range of players.

Hot Tip Tuesday- 13th Edition
Hot Tip Tuesday
Each week I bring to you helpful tips to become a more effective educator on the Always A Lesson fan page on Facebook. (Give it a quick like by clicking here!) I decided to start grouping my social media posts into a blog post in case you didn't catch it in your feed. (Want more? Simply type in 'Hot Tip Tuesday' in the search bar on my blog to easily find past editions.)
Time to get caught up:
- Forget about choosing sides for Super Bowl or celebrating your team's win. Focus on teaching kids good sportsmanship before, during and after The Big Game!
- There will be LOTS of meetings on the job. Grab a notebook or binder dedicated to all things meetings so that all of your notes/information can be organized in one place, found at your fingertips!
- As often as possible, see your students outside of academia. You'll learn a TON about them as people and better understand how to best serve them.
- Improve student writing by making exercises applicable to daily life… blogging, resume writing, tweeting, text messaging etc. The more they practice, the better they will get!
- Memorizing shouldn't be the focus of recalling information, but when it is necessary, use a song or beat to help it stick!
- Don't just write and say the learning objective. Tie it back to why it matters for kids.
- Beginning your day with upbeat music helps students get into the right frame of mind to get psyched for learning!
- Provide a warning to staff, students and parents before you unplug for Spring Break to avoid conflict and misunderstanding.
- Helping students manage their time is a challenge, but if you put Ss in charge of the classroom due date calendar, they will be more aware and highly likely to meet upcoming deadlines.
- If you want to know how you're doing as a teacher, ask your students! Their feedback can elevate your potential overnight

In Review
By Elizabeth Wroten
Picture Book Review: The Quickest Kid in Clarksville by Pat Zietlow Miller
On 29, Jun 2016 | In Review | By Elizabeth Wroten
The Quickest Kid in Clarksville written by Pat Zietlow Miller, illustrated by Frank Morrison
From Goodreads: It's the day before the big parade. Alta can only think about one thing: Wilma Rudolph, three-time Olympic gold medalist. She'll be riding on a float tomorrow. See, Alta is the quickest kid in Clarksville, Tennessee, just like Wilma once was. It doesn't matter that Alta's shoes have holes because Wilma came from hard times, too. But what happens when a new girl with shiny new shoes comes along and challenges Alta to a race? Will she still be the quickest kid?
So, I don't really have many runners that I'm aware of in my library. We have several biographies of famous runners, including Willa Rudolph and Jesse Owens, but I haven't gotten any of the kids to pick them up. Which means that may not be the best selling point for this book. At least not in my library. Fortunately the story is more about competition and friendship, finding a common interest and working together. I suspect this is the kind of book that a handful of kids would pick up off the shelf and take home.
I really love the illustrations of the little girls. They have these long athletic legs that really emphasize the running theme. And Morrison totally captured their facial expressions, body language (look at Alta on the cover!), and their motion. The girls completely come to life on the page and for the casual browser that's going to be a point in the book's favor. Again, it lends itself to being picked up off the shelf and making the cut.
As far as the deeper meaning in the story, the one about working together and making friends, makes this a great story to share at the beginning of the school year when we're getting back into the swing of having lots of kids around. Or around Valentine's Day when I prefer to highlight strong friendships instead of romantic love. Another great addition to all library shelves.

I will teach you four phonemes from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). You will learn /e/ as in pet, schwa /ə/ as in to (unstressed), /ɜː/ as in bird, and /ɔː/ as in court. This lesson is for beginners who are unfamiliar with IPA (the individual sounds of English). Learn the IPA vowel symbols to greatly improve your pronunciation. This lesson is also for more advanced students who are already familiar with the sounds of English and their IPA phonetic symbols, and who wish to refresh their knowledge as a result of doing some practical pronunciation practice. Do these exercises for some time and you WILL hear a difference.

Libre Naturals Inc. was created by the parents of a food allergic child. As such, we strive to be clear about the ingredients and protocols we use.
We want you to feel comfortable about choosing any Libre Naturals product. If you have any questions about our lines or allergens, please feel free to contact us toll free at 1-866-714-5411 or by email
You can also see our products and their allergen declarations at the SnackSafely.com Product Portal:
While no reputable manufacturer can 100% guarantee a level of zero risk, we have created strict allergen protocols to offer you products you can trust:
No ingredients containing dairy are used in the Libre Naturals facility. This includes all derivatives such as casein or whey. Cocoa butter is not dairy but is the fat of the cocoa bean.
No ingredients containing egg are used in the Libre Naturals facility.
No ingredients containing fish are used in the Libre Naturals facility.
No ingredients containing gluten are used in the Libre Naturals facility. All of our products are certified Gluten Free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO) which has a standard of 10 parts per million (ppm), more stringent than the national standard of 20 ppm.

No latex gloves are used on any Libre Naturals production line. We use only medical grade, powder-free nitrile gloves.

Additionally, we closely adhere to all food allergen labeling regulations and would declare any of the top 11 allergens or gluten as an allergen warning if the flavors were to contain a top food allergen or gluten.
The Libre Naturals facility is organized into two separate lines that are not separated by walls. Manufacturing schedules are set up to minimize cross contamination between different products and/or varieties but it may not be completely avoided. If you would like to review what ingredients we use in our facility, please check out our Ingredients page.
This declaration is accurate as of its last update in November 2018, but may change without further notice. Please read ingredient labels and online declarations every time you purchase.
Once you've determined that our product is safe for your special dietary needs, you can take pleasure in great taste but don't forget your overall health. Here are some healthy reasons why you'll want to enjoy this yummy granola:
Suggested Serving Options
International ground courier is our standard shipping method to the contiguous USA and we may use a variety of couriers such as Fedex, UPS and DHL. Orders are most often shipped from our manufacturing facility in Duncan, BC, CANADA but may at times also ship from our Amazon US warehouses. If you are located in Hawaii or Alaska, please contact us for other options.
The total delivery time includes the time it takes to process your order plus actual shipping time and US Customs and FDA clearance. Weekends and holidays are not included in business days.
Orders are shipped from our manufacturing facility in Duncan, BC, CANADA and the price quoted is what DHL charges by weight to your location.
The total delivery time includes the time it takes to process your order plus actual shipping time which may take more or less time dependent upon whether you are in a major urban area. Please note that if you place your order on a business day after 10 am, Pacific Standard Time, the shipment can not go out until the following business day due to DHL cut-off times. Weekends and holidays are not included in business days.
All deliveries by International ground courier take place during regular business hours from Monday through Friday for home delivery. If you are not home and the driver feels it is unsafe to leave a package, a notice will be left with further instructions for redelivery or a pickup location. To avoid this, we suggest you ship to an address where someone is available to receive the delivery during business hours, such as your workplace.
If you order from the Libre Naturals online store over the weekend, on a Canadian holiday or after 10 am on a business day, your order will not be processed until the next business day under normal business volume conditions.

Your order will pass through both US Customs and FDA clearance and we cover this cost at no additional charge to you. If, for any reason, you receive a bill for these services, please let us know within 24 hours toll free at 1-866-714-5411.
Please note that US Customs/FDA may choose at any time to detain and examine a package and may require further information from the US recipient before releasing the package. Although extremely rare in our many years of experience, any delays, examinations and/or demanded information are due to US Customs/FDA and are completely beyond our control.
If you require the shipment address to be changed once an order has been shipped, you will be charged a redirection fee. This fee is what the courier companies charge us and ranges from $15 to $50 depending on your location and is payable by credit card when the change is requested.

For the safety of all Libre Naturals' customers we do not return food items, regardless of their condition, therefore all sales at Libre Naturals are final.
Ingredients, nutrition and allergens for all Libre Naturals' products are posted on each product's page, and it is a customer's responsibility to read and understand them, contact us to ask questions if necessary, and to select only those items that are safe for their specific diet.

When shipping chocolate items, there is a risk of product damage during warm weather or when shipping to warmer climates. If you choose to ship any products that have chocolate in them, you assume the risk of this possibility when you place an order for those items with Libre Naturals Inc.
If granola bars do get overheated, the granola bars and chocolate should resume their shape if left to return to room temperature without being handled. The heat will not affect the taste or quality of the bars although long term shelf life may be compromised.
Any chocolate that has been heated and then cooled may get "bloom", a gray surface on the chocolate. Bloom is not harmful and does not change the quality of the chocolate; it's simply the cocoa fat coming to the surface of the chocolate.
With the exception of melted chocolate, if any package arrives obviously damaged, refuse the package and contact us via the directions below. If you receive a package and don't realize there is damage until you open it or it was left damaged on your doorstep, we require pictures and a description of the type and number of damaged items. This is necessary for us to make the damage claim with the courier.
Please notify us of your damaged shipment claim and all photo documentation within 24 hours of the receipt of shipment with our customer care team at 1-866-714-5411 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We will then begin the claims process with the courier and advise you on how we'll replace your damaged products and what to do with your damaged order.
Please allow the full shipping time indicated above to elapse before contacting us about a missing shipment unless you see by your tracking link that the courier has indicated either a delivery problem or that your package was delivered yet you do not have it. We can then work with the courier to track down your shipment.
If you have given permission for the driver to leave the shipment when you were not home, Libre Naturals is not responsible for the missing shipment. We strongly suggest that you provide a shipping address where you know someone will be present during the day. Many people choose to ship to their work address for this reason.
