Free2B Music Ministries
About Free2B Music Ministries
About the Musicians
"I for one am so glad they do what they do...music is one of the last things the brain hangs on to and to see the happiness they bring to the residents is just amazing!"
-Judy Cunningham
Share Your Testimony With Us
"I have followed Free2B not only because Kim and CJ are my friends, but because of their ministiries. I have followed their music from playing at our church every Sunday, other churches, colleges, senior centers, and medical care facilities just to name a few. However, it was not until I set at the back of the room at one of the medical care facilities that I saw the depth of their ministry. It was Valentine's Day and one by one the wheelchairs came into the room, whether being pushed by staff or the limited strength they had, some propelling their own chairs into the room. They were curious to see what the music was all about that they had heard from down the hallway. Free2B was warming up, and before you knew it the room started to fill up. Only a couple were joined by their family members on this special Valentine's Day, and the rest were alone. Kim and CJ thanked them all for coming and the music starts. Many patients came in with no expressions on their faces and barely lifting their heads. I watched as the music played, a ray of sunshine enter the room. It was if angels had just joined us. Heads lifted up focusing on the front of the room where Kim played the guitar and CJ on the electric piano, singing with heart and soul. Their words and music begin to fill the room. Fighting back tears of joy, I observed patients clapping their hands, smiling and yes, even singing along. All of a sudden the room filled with love, song after song. If just for that hour the worries appeared to be gone and they were wrapped in God's arms. The hour ending, Kim and CJ thanked all the patients for coming. Then a suprise to many Kim asked if she could give everybody a hug. Kim walked up to each patient and asked if she could hug them while CJ played softly in the background. My heart warmed as I witnessed every single patient open their arms up to welcome Kim. The joy and power of the hugs showed in their faces; they just knew by that hug that someone cared. Just because some of the patients didn't have a friend or family member there, they all of a sudden knew that they were not alone at all. The power of God's love and word is shared through music, peace, joy, hope and hugs. Thank you Kim and CJ for sharing your gift of music, touching one heart and one soul at a time. Godspeed Sisters in Christ!"
Love you, Kim Wegner

Trade and Markets East Africa (TMEA) works on supporting the growth of trade in the region, focusing on ensuring trade results in tangible gains for east Africans. TMEA has chosen coffee as a focus for their export capability programme as a high contributor to GDP and forex for the EAC countries, its high potential for poverty reduction and ability to impact large number of women.
This collaboration with Twin focuses on landlocked countries such as Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda with learning from other East Africa countries. Rwanda and Burundi have the highest potential for speciality coffee markets and its high prices are mainly due to having the right certification demanded by the market, the project will focus on marketing these two origins.
designed by market analysis:
The intervention has been designed in market analysis, the map illustrates key constraints and market chain actors, the critical inputs/services that market actors need and the key 'influencers' at play in the business environment. The mapping process provides clarity regarding how market chain linkages and functions can be improved so as to facilitate the flow of income to target producers and is a basis of intervention design.
create demonstration effects from processing coffee to certification, export process and market access:
The specific interventions of this two years project are:
- Developing and harmonising good coffee washing practices in Rwanda and Burundi and providing training for technical staff to meet these practices will increase the amount of quality coffee available for sale on speciality markets.
- Improving buyer linkages will provide access to speciality markets and higher prices.
- Streamlining and harmonising export processes for coffee will reduce the barriers to trade in these countries, decreasing delays and facilitating export.
- Increasing the number of auditors certified in these countries will improve services needed to facilitate trade in certified coffee, thus increasing its value on the international coffee market.
Reach: 10 Producers organisations in Rwanda and 10 in Burundi, cupping lab in 10 of them.
Possible partnerships with stake holders in the region: LEAP process, Rwacof, IWCEA, MAERKS.

Video: Is Gerry Marsden from Gerry and the Pacemakers being very rude about Liverpool?
You'll never swear alone
Gerry Marsden, the man whose version of You'll Never Walk Alone was adopted as Liverpool's anthem, has been giving EA Sports a tour of Anfield to celebrate the release of FIFA 11. Unfortunately, he – we think unwittingly – gives a very neat appraisal of the current squad.
We just wanted to check with you, loyal OTP readers, precisely what his team walk in like (2mins 5secs).
Yeah, we thought so.

Chorley Ladies continued their good form in the Women's Northern Premier Division One with a 3-1 victory at bottom club Sheffield United Community.
Chorley started cautiously as they knew Sheffield's only previous point all season came in a draw against them at Charnock Richard.
Numerous early chances fell to Chorley, but it was Sheffield who took the lead from a badly defended corner.
It was only midway through the second half when Chorley equalised.
Ruth Harrison sprinted forward, and after playing a one-two with Sam Cadwallader, finished coolly by slotting the ball past the keeper.
Chorley then took the lead when Harrison headed home an accurate cross from Natalie Parry.
Relief fell across the Chorley team who started to play composed football.
And another goal followed through Cadwallader, who collected the follow-up off a fumbled long-range effort.
Chorley now head to
Norton in the league this coming Sunday in search for three more points.

Scottish Collections
Named for the holiest island in Scotland, site of an ancient abbey, and burial place for centuries of Scottish kings.
About 800AD, under Viking threat, a stunning illuminated manuscript of the gospels was carried from Iona to a hiding place in an obscure Irish abbey: it came to be known as the Book of Kells.
An Ola Gorie classic, this design focuses on one of the stylized yet characterful wildlife illustrations in the Book of Kells, and transforms it into unique and beautiful jewellery.
Kilmartin Glen in Argyll is home to a great concentration of prehistoric monuments, including an unparalleled range of rock carvings.
Luckenbooth brooches originated in 16th Century Edinburgh.
The first Christian missionary to reach Scotland, St Ninian is commemorated in monuments and legends.
Legend tells that a Viking night-raider stepped on a thistle and yelled in pain.

Study abroad and build on your experience Study abroad and build on your experience
My experience in France was beyond my expectations. I wish I could go back and re-live it all again because it was fantastic!
Athena Mills-Vingoe, BA Translation and Interpreting with Modern Languages (Double Honours)
Your entry level, the degree programme and honours language(s) you study will determine how you spend your Year Abroad.
- If French is your single honours language, you must spend a minimum of 30 weeks in a francophone country between your second and final year
- If you are a double honours student and are taking French and Spanish from A-Level, you will normally split the year between two countries where those languages are spoken.
- If you are enrolled on a double honours programme and studying French, Spanish or Japanese from below A level, you will spend spend 25 weeks in the country of the weaker language (but continue taking classes in the stronger language) and 10 weeks in the country of your stronger language.
Working as a Teaching Assistant
'I have learnt an incredible amount, not just in terms of linguistic improvement but with regard to the education system and how good students of all different ages are at retaining and expressing what they have been taught. Every day I felt like I was achieving a great deal and making the most of my year abroad as I was always overcoming different challenges.... Being part of the teachers' "huddle" during coffee breaks was one of the best parts when I felt a real member of staff and I would recommend an assistantship to anyone who is thinking of becoming a teacher.'
Zoe Robinson, Translation, Media and French
Teaching assistants are appointed through the British Council. Most placements are in mainland France, but a small number are available outre-mer: Guadeloupe and Martinique, for example, and in Belgium and Québec. The British Council looks for an interest in and a commitment to teaching.
For further details of how to apply and full terms and conditions of being a English language assistant abroad please see the British Council Website.
Studying at a university in France
If you choose to study abroad, we strongly recommend that you go as an Erasmus exchange student. We have exchange agreements with the following French universities and the Faculté de Traduction et d'Interprétation in Geneva for students of interpreting and translation: Clermont-Ferrand, Corte in Corsica, Montpellier 3, Nice , Université de Lorraine , Paris, Pau, Toulouse 2 and Tours.
If you spend the whole year as an Erasmus exchange student, you currently do not pay fees to UEA (reviewed annually) You normally receive an Erasmus grant, study full-time and can still receive your student loan while abroad.
You can of course study for the whole year as an independent student at a non-partner university which might appeal if you want to experience France outre-mer: La Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, for example. Please contact us for further information if you are interested in this option.
Studying at a university in Geneva
'I have gained a great deal from going to Geneva: you benefit both academically (the standard in the department is second to none) - and many of the lecturers are/have been professional translators, either working for one of the international institutions or freelance, so you gain greater insights into being a translator.'
Keilah Line, French Language with Management Studies
We have a student exchange agreement with the renowned Faculté de Traduction et d'Interprétation in Geneva. If you are going to be studying one of our translation degrees, we recommend you spend the 'French' half of the year abroad there. Your application would be made in the same way as those applying for the Erasmus exchange. For further information please see www.unige.ch.
Work placements in French-speaking countries
You may prefer to spend your time abroad in a work placement, or stage. We already have many contacts with a number of companies but if you have a particular interest, we support you in your search for a placement appropriate to your area of interest. Past student have been very enthusiastic about the benefits of working during their year abroad and find that the skills and experience they have acquired are invaluable when applying for jobs after graduating.
Salaries for stagiaires can be modest, but this is is counterbalanced by the enormous experience you would gain. In the Paris area, you might also receive 50% of the travel card (carte orange). If you choose to find your own work placement you must ensure that you would be speaking French for at least 80% of your time and that you would be doing meaningful work. We issue a signed convention de stage of which you will receive a copy. The convention states the hours of work, your salary, and what you would be doing. You will also receive an Erasmus grant and may be eligible for a tuition fee waiver.
If you want to work during your time abroad, we require that you make a back-up application to a French University.
Additional information
Feedback from returned students affirms that it pays to make every effort to integrate and to avoid other English-speaking people. At first it might seem difficult to make French friends but those who persist have a much better experience. Never refuse an invitation from French colleagues or students is a piece of advice we hear over and over again!
Students arrange their own accommodation, and receive support from us in preparing for their time abroad. Some assistants are given a room in their school and pay very little for their accommodation, depending on where they are, and some may not pay anything at all, but this is rare.
Whether or not you study as an Erasmus exchange student, you will be able to apply for accommodation before you go. Once your application has been accepted by the host university, you will be sent a form or given a website where you make an online request for accommodation. You can find out more from CNOUS (Centre National des Oeuvres Universitaires et Scolaires)
If you are working you will probably have to find your own accommodation, which the employer might be able to help with. In all cases it is advisable to go a few days early and stay somewhere cheap until you find something. Membership of the YHA would enable you to use hostels abroad and benefit from hostels run by the Fédération Unie des Auberges des Jeunesse. You will receive advice on this in your Year Abroad preparation classes and through meetings with the coordinators.

Texas attorney general tries again to end his criminal case
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is trying one last time to have his criminal indictment on securities fraud charges dismissed before trial.
The Republican has asked the state's highest criminal court to throw out felony charges that accuse Texas' top prosecutor of deceiving wealthy investors in a tech startup. Two lower courts previously rebuffed Paxton's request.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is the same panel that cleared former Gov. Rick Perry of criminal charges earlier this year. Perry had been accused of abusing his power as governor, while Paxton's alleged crimes happened outside elected office.
Prosecutors say Paxton broke the law in 2011 when he recruited investors toward a startup called Servergy without disclosing he was being paid by the company.
Paxton has pleaded not guilty.

Smaller and more formal workshops with instruction on perspective, pastel and portraiture will also be offered. Drawing tools and paper will be available in the galleries.
There is free parking, and handicapped access is available by appointment. For directions and more information visit loftartists.org.

When it comes to feeding your baby, there's no single choice that's right for everyone. Experts generally agree that breastfeeding offers significant health advantages over formula feeding. However, a small percentage of women can't breastfeed for health reasons. Others may choose not to breastfeed for personal reasons. Many women also choose to breastfeed and supplement their baby's diet with formula.
The American Pregnancy Association (APA) notes that there are advantages and disadvantages to breastfeeding as well as formula feeding. It's smart to learn the facts about breastfeeding to help you decide what's best for you and your little one.
Advantages of Breast Feeding
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding exclusively until your baby is six months old, and continuing to breastfeed for one year or longer, as new foods are introduced. That's because breastfeeding:
- Gives your baby the right balance of nutrients needed for them to grow strong and healthy
- Helps provide extra protection for babies against infections and common childhood illnesses
- Lowers the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
- May help reduce your risk of some types of cancer
- Breastfed babies may also have a lower risk for certain chronic conditions, such as asthma, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
When Breastfeeding Alone Is Not an Option
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) note that some women need to avoid breastfeeding. If you are required to take certain medications, your doctor may advise you not to breastfeed. However, most women who take medications can still breastfeed. For women with substance abuse problems, such as alcohol or illegal drugs, breastfeeding is not a good choice—consider speaking with your doctor to seek help. If you have HIV or tuberculosis, you should not breastfeed because you could pass your condition on to your child.
Other conditions, such as breast hypoplasia, may result in a new mother being unable to make enough milk to support her baby. A study by the University of Colorado found that 15 percent of the breastfeeding women studied had a low milk supply three weeks after giving birth. Four percent of these women appeared to have a chronically low supply of breast milk.
For women with these or other health conditions, breastfeeding may not fully meet their babies' nutritional requirements. For parents who adopt babies, breastfeeding may be impossible. In these situations, formula is a good choice.
Some families also consider seeking donated breast milk. Although this may give babies the benefits of breast milk, it could also carry significant risks. The
Weighing the Pros and Cons
Although there are many advantages to breastfeeding, the APA notes several disadvantages as well:
- Discomfort for the mother
- Inconvenience for the mother, who must either be physically available for feedings or provide pumped milk
- Certain medications may make breastfeeding difficult
According to The Nemours Foundation, women who use infant formula to feed their babies will still bond with their babies. Mother and baby will enjoy the connection of feeding time whether or not they breastfeed. The APA notes that disadvantages of formula feeding include:
- Some babies' tolerance for certain formulas may be low
- Inconvenience for parents of carrying formula and bottles on outings
- It takes time to mix, prepare, and warm the formula
Make the Best Choice for You and Your Baby
Although breastfeeding carries certain health benefits, women shouldn't feel guilty if they can't or choose not to breastfeed. New parents face so many decisions in their own personal circumstances—it's important that you make the choice that's right for you. Take the time to consider your own medical history, lifestyle, and preferences when making the decision about how to feed your baby.

About 20 communties in two area councils have been cut-off from the rest of the Federal Capital Territory following days of torrential rainfall that has destroyed their access roads.
Residents from 12 communities in Gwagwalada Area Council could not access their homes, markets and neighbouring communities due to an uncompleted road project which they said had worsen because of torrential rainfall.
The residents of some of the affected communities including Dada-Biri, Wumi, Gbedna, Goi, Gurfata, Rafin Zurfi, Ashara, Maje, Peti, Ledi, Tsauni, and Dutse said the Gwagwalada-Dobi-Izom road has remained the Achilles heel of several past governments, adding that this administration has not fared any better.
While residents in the communities in Gwagwalada Area Council wade through water, on foot or motorcycles, their colleagues in about eight communities in Abaji Area Council use canoe to cross a river across the road after the bridge linking Yaba- Dangara caved in.
The bridge connects several communities including Dangara, Ashara, Kuka, Bubo, Gurdi, Madani, Tekpeshe and Lafia-Yaba.
Aliyu Bako, a motorist who spoke with our reporter, said since a recent flood wreaked havoc in the community on Saturday, he now spends more than two hours travelling to Abaji as he had to go through Yaba to Kpada, Gulu and Suleja in Niger State.
"In fact you can see it for yourself what the people of Yaba are passing through. We have been cut off completely as one has to travel through Kpada-Gulu in Niger State before getting to Abaji. It is frustrating," he said.
He said there was no provision for speed boat to convey vehicles across the river, adding that those with vehicles in Yaba town have to pass through the long detour through Niger State.
Also, residents of Dada- Biri, one of the affected communities in Gwagwalada Area Council said the remaining section of the road has been abandoned.
They said the first phase of the Gwagwalada-Dobi-Izom road project which began under the past administration was awarded to an indigenous construction company, Ndubueze Engineering Company Limited, in 2010.
The completed section of the road was constructed and asphalted from Paikon-Kore to Government Secondary School (GSS), Dobi, while the second section of the stretch, which is uncompleted, was also handled by an indigenous company, Niek Engineering Construction Company, under the supervision of the Satellite Towns Development Department (STDD).
The residents lamented over the delay in completing the road, especially some bridges and culverts across some streams and rivers.
A farmer, Ayuba Darwana, said residents could no longer go to the popular Kara market in the area to sell their farm produce as such some of the harvested crops get spoilt.
He said the recent heavy rainfall in the area also affected motorists, especially motorcyclists that plied the road after two culverts on the road caved in.
He said residents going to Lambata market in Niger State to buy and sell goods have become stranded since the incident, adding that others returned to their villages and few people waded through the stream.
"That very day, I was going to my farm across the stream from Wumi. When I got the stream, I discovered that the bridge had collapsed. People who were going to market at Lambata were stranded, while some of them had to wade through the stream with their loads on their heads," he said.
A native of Dada-Biri community, Markus Barau Mamman, said it has been difficult for him to access his farm since the bridge collapsed.
He said the new bridge which was constructed along the new road, has been abandoned for three years by the construction company.
Locals mostly travel by the road to Lambata market to transact business, but the collapsed bridge has caused untold hardship to them.
According to him, residents from Gbadna, Goi, Ashara, Wumi and Peti that mostly go to Kara market near Dobi to sell their farm produce also find it difficult to do so since the bridge collapsed.
"The day the bridge collapsed, the former House of Representatives member, Alhaji Isah Egah Dobi, and some of his aides who were travelling to Lambata had to turn back as they couldn't cross the river," he said.
Mamman maintained that the collapsed bridge has affected the socio-economic activities of the residents.
"The contractor handling the project abandoned the work over three years now. While a part of the bridge they constructed across the river, another collapsed due to the heavy flood," he said.
He therefore called on the authorities of Gwagwalada Area Council under the leadership of Alhaji Adamu Mustapha, to liaise with the FCT Administration on the need to mobilize the contractor back to site to complete the road project.
Also speaking, the Madaki of Dada-Biri, Malam Abubakar Daniya, said the collapsed bridge has made life difficult for his people and those of other neighbouring villages along the area.
He said majority of the inhabitants are peasant farmers who mostly transport their crops to the market at Kara or Lambata in Niger State.
"The day the bridge was washed away by flood, many people from my village and other villages as well as motorists coming from Gwagwalada and Dobi were stranded. It is those with motorcycles that were able to wade through the river to continue with their journey," he said.
He said also that many farmers are now finding it difficult to transport their crops across the river to Lambata market due to the collapsed bridge on the Dada-Biri-Wumi road.
He therefore appealed to the FCT administration to come to their aid by fixing the road and the collapsed bridge, saying residents of the area have no other road apart from the Gwagwalada- Dobi-Izom road.
"I am sure you know how important the Gwagwalada-Dobi- Izom road is; it is the short cut which some people who are coming from the South/east and North/east ply to avoid being caught up on traffic holdup along the highway, but the project has been abandoned for three years now," he said.
Reacting over the abandoned Dada- Biri road project, the coordinator of Satellite Towns Development Department (STDD), Ishaku Tanko Yamawo, said the department would meet with the contractor handling the road project to ascertain the level of work and later mobilise him back to site.
He further stated that the department had also met with officials of the Ecological Fund Office to inspect the Yaba bridge which has cut off residents of the community as a result of heavy flooding.
"As I speak with you now, we have mobilised workers to the scene to provide a temporary measure pending the commencement of the main work because we saw the need to increase the length of the bridge," he also said.

It's Thursday afternoon, and…yup, that's "3sday's 3Q's in 3 Min" hittin you on your iPhone. You can go ahead and answer.
Every Thursday, socialTNT channels the spirit of citizen journalism by putting bloggers, reporters, PR pro's or anyone with something to say about social media in front of the camera for a short, three minute interview. The videos are meant to encourage dialog between PR/communications practitioners and marketers on the future of media.
Today, socialTNT chats with Matt Mullenweg, Founding Developer of WordPress and Founder of Automattic. Besides this humble blog, WordPress also powers the New York Times, Fox News, CNN, All Things D, GigaOM, TechCrunch, and many others. In this week's episode, Matt suggests big media is whole-heartedly embracing the new media, and shares his tips on how best to control brand image.
Just barely 24, Matt Mullenweg is revered by both the blogger and open source communities. That's because WordPress, one of the top blogging platforms on the Internet, empowers millions of people to create daily. It's also completely open, so anyone can develop plug-ins or integrate it without licensing fees. Whether WordPress.com for consumers or WordPress.org for Enterprise, I don't think there is a better selection for blogging.
It's a busy time for Matt and the Automattic team. In January, they released Prologue, a micro-blogging WordPress theme that enables Twitterstyle communications to increase collaboration within companies or work teams. On the day of the interview, Matt had just announced the hire of Andy Peatling. Since Andy had developed plug-ins to create a social network, Chickspeak, built on the WordPress Multiuser platform, speculation ran rampant through the blogosphere of a WordPress move into the social networking space. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, WordPress is releasing a major update, WordPress 2.5, in the next couple of weeks.
Matt loves MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn. He doesn't think there will be one SocNet that rules them all. Instead, Matt sees a diverse online world with as many social networks as there are hobbies, interests or personalities. WordPress, however, doesn't want to be a social network; Automattic's vision is to provide smooth running machinery that works behind the scenes to make it easier for people to communicate and express themselves.
In his blog post discussing the new hire, Matt says, "Someday, perhaps, the world will have a truly Free and Open Source alternative to the walled gardens and open-only-in-API platforms that currently dominate our social landscape."
With the upcoming release of WordPress 2.5, bloggers can expect several major upgrades. The Editor has been completely renovated with a more streamlined look, fullscreen writing mode, and increased ease of media integration. Flickr fans watch out: WordPress 2.5 allows bulk uploading of photos. Photos can also be tagged and commented on. Video and audio are also easier to embed within posts.
Fun Facts about Matt:
- He's originally from Houston
- Plays Alto Saxophone
- Automattic is funded by True Ventures, the VCs who also back GigaOM
- No surprise that GigaOM is his favorite tech blog, but have you looked at another fave: the comedic musings on Stuff White People Like
- Avid photographer, has a photo blog, PhotoMatt
- Sorry ladies Matt's got a GF
Wondering what the Blogmeister thinks about branding? Check out the video below. He also gives tips on how to track communication for global teams, and cheers on Fox News.
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Is proper hiring and training the solution to ensure your brand image is maintained? What social media tools do you use for increased internal collaboration? Is big-media really embracing social media? Let us know in the comments!

There are certain issues in the course, like purchasing a book fo the course. Ideally this should be more opensourced
von Dave Oesterreich•
Aug 15, 2017
There is interesting material in this course, but the overall experience is frustrating to the point of being net negative. Quiz questions cover material which has not been presented yet or covered in the "web tours". Some answers scored as correct (or wrong) contradict the "web tour" material, maybe due to poor QA of the multiple answers and double negatives in the choices. The course also says you must obtain a book for the final quiz which, it turns out, is unnecessary.

1. Barry M Nail Polish: I detest chipping nail polish. ICK! That being said, finding a shade that STAYS PUT is a constant struggle. And on my most recent trip to London, England, my awesome friend Elya, recommended Drugstore brand Barry M! Cheap, quick-drying, and minimal chipping after 5 days of wearage (and counting). It's my DIY shellac substitute! YAY! I picked up only two colors- 'Rasberry'(not a typo), and 'Pink Flamingo' for £5. In hindsight, I should've swept the shelves.
2. Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil: I don't often go for "bold" colors, but a romantic red lip is always chic and I am obsessed with this lip pencil in "Damned". It is the perfect deep purple-y red and it is flattering on ALL skin colors. No really, I tried it on ALL my friends- blondes, brunettes, redheads! It is gorgeous and is the perfect accessory for a night out, or can be worn sheer under some lip gloss for the office.
3. Boots from Clarks: Yes. I am admitting that I have a pair of "comfy" shoes, but I have no shame… and my feet LOVE 'em! These ankle boots from Clarks are my budget version of the Acne Pistol boots (they're of a similar 'look'), and I couldn't be happy that I picked them up on sale via Zappos. HURRAY! I am still lusting after a pair of Rag & Bone Harrow booties, but until then, I'm gonna wear these all season long.
4. Everything and ANYTHING from The Kooples: In my latest trip to London, I stumbled upon this French label and their amazingly cut blazers, shorts, trousers, blouses, and dresses. Designed by three French brothers, it perfectly embodies everything that makes Parisian street style SOOOO chic. They have a solid collection classic seperates, with a bit of British rock 'n' roll edge. I picked up this Jacquard dress and am loving the fit and the subtle, yet intricate fabric. The brand also uses real-life couples for their advertising campaigns. CUTE!! Oh and everything at The Kooples fits like a dream.
5. Food Should Taste Good: These chips are delicious. Everyone that knows me knows that I love candy and chips (a few of my many vices). And these delicious chips make me feel less guilty about snacking! I have been dipping them in homemade hummus, salsa, or guacamole and nom nom nom. I may or may not have already consumed a full bag of them while attempting to write this.
What are your current faves?

Grafted from Journey Pictures on Vimeo.
Adoption is about more than changing your family portrait.
For six families, the journey is about bringing a child without much hope of hearing the gospel into a loving home that will not only provide for them physically, but spiritually as well.
Adoption is about a labor of love.
The process itself is filled with obstacles, setbacks, and paperwork, culminating in the blessing of new life in the family.
Adoption is about the Gospel.
Grafted follows the stories of these six families through the adoption journey from initial idea to life with a new child, as they see God's providence manifested in their lives.
We hope you'll be blessed by this film!
Sola Deo Gloria,
Randy, Pat, Caleb, and Lisa

Bottom left and bottom right also take my fancy, though they're all just lovely. Can't wait to see what becomes of them all xoReplyDelete

We have a passion for food and for educating our diners. Anyone that has dined with us before knows that Chef Cipolla expertly describes the ingredients that comprise each dish and typically shares some story behind the dish's creation. However, there is never enough time to go deeper and share more interesting facts about what might be unfamiliar culinary territory. Therefore, we have decided to start a blog that is meant to be informational and fun about each menu. First up and also our first course in the early spring 2016 menu is …. Opah!
Opah, also known as Moonfish, is beautiful Frisbee shaped tropical fish with red fins and silver body that can grow to 2 meters in diameter. The cool fact about Opah is that it's the only truly warm blooded fish meaning that it can consistently keep its entire body warmer than its environment. Our Opah is line caught sustainably off the coast of Hawaii and flown to us nearly whole. The fillets have a orange color and a firm texture with an even higher oil content than salmon. I'm not going to reveal the full preparation (you'll have to see that for yourself) but it is a ceviche style (e.g. raw but cured in citrus juices).

Who wouldn't love a set of four handmade cards and envelopes in a cute box made with the Envelope Punch Board?! Make up several sets and you'll always have a gift handy for a special occasion.
Stay tuned for my project "Time for a Coffee Break" on August 12.
Happy stamping,

This blog is to showcase my illustration, design and comic works with frequent updates.
Ha! I totally agree. Personally, I feel guys should grow facial hair for a combination of two reasons: (1) it improves the overall appearance of the face, and (2) laziness (hair maintenance should take less time than shaving). This ridiculous look accomplishes neither.

Walon is a drug rehabilitation counselor.
Walon is recovering drug addict and drug rehabilitation counselor.
Season 1Edit
Walon speaks at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting attended by Bubbles and Johnny Weeks.[1] They see him again in the low rise projects, trying to get his nephew to stop using.[2]
Bubbles' conversations with Walon help him realise that he wants to get clean. When he makes a serious attempt, Walon gives him advice on keeping clean, which Bubbles is unable to stick with.
Season 4Edit
Years later, when Bubbles is locked in a medical rehab facility, Walon visits him to again help him with his sobriety and grief after Bubbles caused the accidental death of his business partner, Sherrod.
Season 5Edit
Walon becomes Bubbles' NA sponsor but has trouble getting Bubbles to open up about Sherrod's death at NA meetings. He also supports Bubbles when he gets himself tested for HIV. When the test comes back negative, Bubbles seems disappointed but Walon tells him he can't dwell on his past for an explanation.
Walon is a recurring character in the first, fourth, and fifth seasons. He is played by guest star Steve Earle and debuts in "One Arrest".
Earle is a singer/songwriter and recovering heroin addict. Earle also performs the theme song for the fifth season, and his song "I Feel Alright" is featured in the montage at the end of the second season. When Omar leaves for New York at the end of the First Season, episode 10, his line appears to be taken from Earle's song "NYC." The original lyric is "Must be something happening there, it's just too big a town."

The "three-body problem" is the term given to a situation in physics where you take the starting conditions for 3 planetary bodies and then calculate how their orbital mechanics will affect each other. It is a classic physics term because calculating how two bodies interact is simple, but when you add the third body, the math gets complicated.
Third Body Press is devoted to publishing books where things get complicated. We are an independent publisher based in San Diego, Calif. We have been in business since 2016, and our books are available worldwide in English in both ebook and print. Find us on Amazon.
We welcome inquiries around rights licensing, and we are currently accepting submissions for new or previously published works in the genre space opera and SF horror.
Our Team
Engelbart Humperdink III, Publisher
Engelbart took over the company from his father following a mysterious disappearance. Peter won't allow us to let him out of the closet.
David, Creative Director
How many publishing companies can say that their creative director used to work for NASA? Well, David didn't "work" at NASA so much as belong to NASA, and he didn't "quit" so much as he was kidnapped in the dark of night. But we're happy to have him!
Peter, Work Distraction & Cat
Peter is the power behind the throne. Our founder, Engelbart Humperdink II, left the company to him so we basically do whatever Peter wants.

Ok, perhaps one year learning German way back in 1994 means I'm somewhat underqualified to write that blog headline. But we had a brilliant evening with this bunch of German visitors...wunderbar!!
We were treated to fabulous food, singing from our overseas guests, polished performances from their Scottish hosts, impressive lederhosen and beermaid outifts. The photo is just one I took of Jorg, a thoroughly entertaining chap who everyone seemed to love!
This was a crowd who were "up for a ceilidh" even though half of them leave at 8am tomorrow morning to drive back to Germany. A treat for us to play for them all!

Ewan spent today wandering up Ben Arthur (or "The Cobbler" as it's probably better known). Then he nipped over to Arrochar to join us at the Three Villages Hall, where we were playing at Heather and Serge's wedding....
This was an fascinating mix of guests because Heather's Scottish and Serge's from the Ivory Coast! The couple had clearly spent a lot of time ensuring both cultures were being represented- they sang hymns at the service in English and French and the evening featured Jiggered's ceilidh music and a DJ with some African tunes too.
We hope Heather and Serge have many happy years together!

Marion and Colin asked us to play at their post-wedding party at St Luke's in Glasgow. We'd never been to this venue near Glasgow Green but it's a great find. St Luke's has a strong focus on excellent music. It was a privilege for us to be kicking off the evening with two hours of ceilidh!
We've been introduced by BBC Scotland's Fred MacAulay before and Scottish icon Sally Magnusson's hired us in the past- it was exciting to have former Scotland rugby player and BBC Radio Scotland presenter John Beattie in the crowd and dancing away...
Another ceilidh tomorrow night in a busy weekend for Jiggered. Bookings have flown in this week for 2016/2017. Please get in touch if you're looking for a ceilidh band!
Posted at 21:53 on 16th October 2015 by Chris Smith
Helen rememebered Jiggered from her Strathclyde days and booked us up for her wedding to Anthony. Helen and Anthony had booked the stunning Altskeith Country House, Kinlochard. It's secluded by the side of a beautiful loch. And what a hidden gem is. We're glad we found it!
Our bride and groom weren't sure their guests would be up for a ceilidh...this photo was taken at the break- it shows what the dance floor (which opened out onto the stunning garden) looked like empty. This was the only time it looked like this! The crowd were absolutely fantastic, dancing all night. Nothing phased this lot- we wheeled out the Folla Reel, Cumberland Basket, Eightsome Reel and they jigged the night away.
Glad I didn't get breathalised on the way home- the wedding cake contained a generous splash of booze I think!
All the best to the new Mr and Mrs Chesshire...thanks for the card and pressie at the end of the night, too!

Quick glossary: Blockchain

Blockchain systems are part of a trend that is moving the internet-of-information era into an internet-of-value era, where assets—and asset ownership—can be transferred instantly and with absolute confidence. Every employee should know and understand what a blockchain is and how it could change every business transaction in your organization.
Whatever else you may think about the Information Age, there is no doubt that the rate of disruptive technology developed since its inception has accelerated precipitously. Personal computers, communication networks, the internet, email, cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things are just a few of the new technologies developed during the era that have changed the way all business is conducted. Business enterprises of all sizes are struggling just to keep up.
So at the risk of piling on, there is now another nascent technology to watch, which could disrupt how business transactions are conducted in the near future. It is called blockchain. The most prominent application of blockchain technology is currently Bitcoin, but that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Blockchain could potentially change the transactional mechanics of the entire global economy. Foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, central banking controls, etc., could all become nearly meaningless trappings of a bygone age.
Whether you're a recent hire at an IT department help desk or the CEO of a Fortune 100 company, you need to know and understand just what blockchain is and how it could change how every business transaction in your organization is recorded, tracked, and stored. This list of 20 blockchain technology terms defines some of the basic vocabulary associated with this budding technology.

With our passion for legal cannabinoids and industry leading expertise we're pleased to introduce our premium range of highly concentrated cannabinoid products, Cannassential®. Three years ago we introduced the UK to the exciting prospect of readily available legal cannabis extracts. Our time and effort has been completely dedicated towards our flagship product, the MediPen® Cannabinoid Vaporizer, which has firmly placed the UK cannabinoid market on the map. Due to the far reaching press attention and heartwarming user feedback we've received, we have developed an industry which has grown exponentially and have raised awareness of the medicinal applications of cannabinoids through breaking down negative connotations. We developed Cannassential® with the goal of replicating the positive aspects of the cannabis plant without the psychoactive effects associated with traditional use. Our proprietary innovation has allowed us to isolate and purify 3 non-psychotropic cannabinoid extracts; CBD, CBDV and CBG, which are completely legal to purchase and are available in various different concentrations via our website. We've made it our mission to cater for everyone and have several solutions ranging from affordably priced capsules to the most highly concentrated cannabinoid tinctures in the world. We'd love to hear your feedback and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Scientists honoured
Victoria's new select-entry state schools for high-performing students will be named after distinguished scientists Sir Gustav Nossal and Professor Suzanne Cory.
Due to open next year with 200 year 9 students, Nossal High School is being built on the grounds of Monash University at Berwick. Cory High School will open in 2011 at Werribee.
Sir Gus — former Victorian chief scientist and Australian of the year — said he was honoured to lend his name to the Berwick school and he hoped it would encourage students to study science.
At a school-naming ceremony yesterday, he said: "One of my greatest regrets as a university professor was that despite multiple efforts to bring more people from the lower socio-economic strata into universities, the demographic essentially has not changed in the last 30 years."
Professor Cory, director of The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, described herself as an strong advocate for government education and said all children deserved the chance to fulfil their potential.

"No one understands"
Video discusses what family members can and cannot do to help their loved ones to quit smoking
Comments from the Freedom from Nicotine board string "Quitting can be a very lonely experience"
Quitting is often a very lonely experience. If you talk to people who quit a long time ago they may make comments like, "quit smoking, there is nothing to it." They may have experienced a difficult time themselves but they could have totally forgotten it. Talk to people who never smoked a day in their life and they can react with comments like, "Hey, you never should have taken up smoking in the first place." Talk to people who still smoke and they may offer you cigarettes. This all can make a person first starting a quit feel like they are alone in the world.
The beauty of Freedom is that you are basically in a group that appreciates the importance of smoking cessation. Some people here have quit at the same time so it is natural that there is a certain camaraderie that is felt for them. But even the longer-term quitters still keep the significance of their quits at a level of paramount importance. They force themselves to remember how hard it was to quit, how bad it was to smoke and how much better off they are because they quit.
Many who are here remember how lonely and hopeless they may have felt in the beginning or in past quits and are eager to help spare others the same feelings of isolation. Their continued participation helps everyone, including themselves maintaining their own resolve to stay quit. So remember your early experiences here and in past quits, and as time goes on you too will be able to share your success to help others.
As you encounter others in your travels through life, let them know there is help out here for them. To help return the support, always be encouraging to people quitting and always make sure they understand to stay off smoking they need to never take another puff!
