It is possible that it is really Alocasia x sedenii.
Spider mites like it somewhat; aphids seem to prefer other species.

West Perth Football Club's members and board will meet on Thursday evening at its Joondalup clubrooms after the Falcons called in administrators to address mounting debts.
The club has also accepted a $250,000 loan from the WA Football Commission to ensure it continues to play in the 2018 WAFL season while its future in the state league is scrutinised over the next five weeks.
A statement posted to the club's site on Wednesday confirmed media reports of dire financial times at the Falcons, with members told West Perth was "currently working through various options to solidify its position with its creditors and the WAFC".
"Based on discussions with the board of the WAFC and independent finance professionals, the Club is now at a point where it has decided a course of action to address its financial position and allow it to emerge as a long term, viable business," the statement read.
"Over the last few months your board and management team have been working diligently to assess the extent of the situation and to explore the various options the Club may take to move forward.
"Given the serious implications of the decision taken by the board, a member forum to outline the situation will be convened at the club."
Speaking to Basil Zempilas and Steve Mills on Radio 6PR's Breakfast on Thursday, West Perth president Scott Ballem insisted the financial mire the club found itself in could not be attributed to "no one person, no one event" and said there had been "no misappropriation of funds".
A WAFC statement announced the body's move to provide a $250,000 to administrators Korda Mentha, which will manage the Falcons during the voluntary administration process.
The money will be used to support players and staff throughout the 2018 WAFL season, but would not go towards paying down West Perth's debts.
WAFC chief executive Gavin Taylor said West Perth had an "important role" supporting growth and development of football in Perth's northern corridor, and the loan ensured the integrity of the WAFL was maintained for the rest of the season.
"A loan to support the administrator specifically to meet player, coach and staff commitments to ensure the team can play out the 2018 season was seen as the appropriate response from the WAFC," he said.
"It will be up to West Perth's donors, sponsors, and supporters to rally around the club to support the administrator and the club to find the funding it needs to continue on into the longer term."
Mr Taylor said the WAFC hoped to see the Falcons play on as part of the state competition for years to come and urged fans to support the club.
The WAFC directed queries on West Perth's administration to Korda Mentha.

Service providers are experiencing unprecedented growth in demand for mobile broadband and mobile internet. As the service providers are gearing up to monetize this increase in the demand for mobile data, they have a huge challenge to face ahead of them. The data handling capacity of existing mobile networks is giving sleepless nights to many operators and is seen as a big hurdle to encashing this demand growth in mobile data.
The exciting part is that service providers already have options available to overcome this barrier. The solutions include offloading data to either small cells or Wi-Fi networks. However, due to CAPEX and OPEX involved in deployment of small cells, it is not an attractive choice for operators to adopt.
Wi-Fi has several advantages over small cells. Wi-Fi, these days, is ubiquitously available in all smart devices. Wi-Fi networks operate in unlicensed spectrum and can be deployed quickly. The cost involved in deploying Wi-Fi networks is quite less compared to deployment of small cells. Hence, Wi-Fi is a popular technology with the operators.
The matter of concern now for service providers now is integration of Wi-Fi networks with the existing mobile networks. Various consortiums, including Wi-Fi alliance, Wireless Broadband Alliance, are working to develop standards that allow interoperability and wide spread access. The integration needs to be such that it is a seamless experience for the end-user with no human intervention needed when user moves from a mobile network to a Wi-Fi network and vice-versa. Wi-Fi networks need to incorporate mechanisms similar to cellular authentication and roaming for making whole experience seamless to the end-user. HotSpot2.0 standard spearheaded by the Wi-Fi alliance does just that.
Aricent's WLAN Switching Solution (WSS) for Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) and Access Controller (AC), complaint with HotSpot 2.0 and CAPWAP standards, along with SaMOG implementation helps operators incorporate Wi-Fi Mobile Data Offloading to existing mobile networks.
For more insights on Carrier Wi-Fi and Mobile Data Offloading, attend our webinar on topic 'Wild about Wi-Fi' on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 8:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM ET.

The Minnesota State High School League Thursday approved a list of guidelines for including trans students in school sports, facilities, and activities, despite ongoing right-wing protest, reports Twin Cities TV station KARE.
The decision came three days after the Department of Educationclarified its stance under Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 that schools "generally must treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity" in single-sex activities and spaces.
With the MSHSL's decision, Minnesotan trans students in the nearly 500 public and private high schools that are members of the league will be allowed — once they submit a confidential written request to their school — to participate in single-sex activities and use the restrooms, locker rooms, and showers that accord with their affirmed gender, starting with the 2015-2016 school year. The policy passed nearly unanimously, with 18 voting in favor, one opposed, and one abstention.

These posts are all a work of fiction so enjoy!
Gambling is of the devil. It is one thing to spend money, but to gamble; I lost my entire savings. There are many addictions in the world, all of them can take away what you sacrificed for most and loved the most.
This can relate to my story and what happened to me in the duration of my visit to a casino in Las Vegas. It was last week, for the matter of fact.
Oh that terrible afternoon. It was after I went to a gas station in the outskirts of Las Vegas. As I take a seat to wait for my other friend, I spotted a fun game of gamble right on the side of the gas station.
First, I started out with a quarter. Nope that did not work. I slowly and intently lift my hand up to the machine to slide two quarters into the machine and gripped the lever hard and yet played again.
There was no luck both of those times. Just in that small amount of time, my friend comes out and opens his mouth; quickly spoke about the tickets you buy at a booth of a gas station.
"If you want to win at gambling you have to try something that will actually win you some money. This way I earned money out of it; at least to cover what I put into the gambling. Let us go and try to gamble with the cards."
After his brilliant decision, I look to the right at the gambling machine, I look back to him. I snatch my back from off the table and follow him with precision in my steps to the cashier station; to the front of the store.
"Two tickets please! Can you please pick one ticket for me and one for my friend here?" He said to her with a sense of confidence in his voice.
As she picked out the lottery tickets, we were hopeful that she would pick the winners of the pile.
We quickly take the ticket between our fingers and pulled them back fast. We followed the instructions and scratched off what needed to be.
I loved the site I saw, "I won! I won! I won!!!!!!!"
"Robert what did you win?" He anxiously asked me and peered over my shoulder; just to wait for me to show him.
"Fifty grand. Buuuwya."
As we filled out of the gas station with our fifty grand, we go to the best hotel/casino in Las Vegas to try and earn more money. But the sad thing was; ended losing our money. In fact, we went into fifty thousand dollars of debt. I'm in a danger to lose my house big time.

Darkest Flame by Donna Grant (#1 Dark Kings)
Series: Dark Kings (#1)
Author: Donna Grant
From: Netgalley
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Release Date: 29th April 2014
Challenges: 2016 Netgalley & Edelweiss Challenge, 2016 Reading Assignment, 2016 Blogger Shame
Links: Goodreads - Amazon
Synopsis (from Goodreads): The Dark Kings have fought for centuries to preserve their dragon magic. But one of the most powerful warriors of his kind will be put to the ultimate test. Is he strong enough to resist his greatest temptations? Or will he be forced to surrender - body and soul? Her beauty is a weapon. Denae Lacroix is a beautiful MI5 agent on a deadly mission. Sent to the Scottish Highlands to spy on the mysterious Dreagan Industries, she discovers too late that she's been set up - as human bait. She is an irresistible lure for a man who has not seen or touched a woman for centuries. He is a man with a destiny - and a desire - that could destroy them both... His passion is a curse...It's been twelve hundred years since Kellan has walked among humans - and there's no denying the erotically charged attraction he feels for Denae. But as a Dragon King, he is sworn to protect his secrets. Yet the closer he gets to this smart, ravishing woman, the more her life is in danger. All it takes is one reckless kiss to unleash a flood of desire, the fury of dragons…and the fiercest enemy of all.
This was an interesting book when it comes to the whole standalone factor. I think I've maybe read one book by Donna Grant before this, but despite this being the first book in a series, I did feel like I was maybe missing a little something from not reading previous series. However, once the book got going, it didn't really matter and I got into it easily enough.
I loved the fact that the heroine was not only able to take care of herself, but was allowed to take care of herself. Sure, Kellan had his alpha moments about wanting to protect her and all that, but he also let her be herself, and when she managed to protect herself he felt proud rather than berating her.
This was an interesting take on the insta-love/mate thing. Neither of the characters were particularly moony by nature, and neither of them spent the whole book just thinking about the other one and how they didn't know how they were feeling. Now don't get me wrong, there was a little bit of that, but it wasn't taking over the prose. I felt like they were their own people and they got on with their own jobs.
Now Rhi...as a side character, I loved Rhi and enjoyed the fact that there was more to the story than just the couple busy falling in love. I was slightly confused about exactly which Dragon King had an affair with the Fae, but I feel like it will come out in later books anyway, so I probably shouldn't worry about it too much!
This was a good read, I love dragon-shifters, and this mythology was well thought out and interesting.

Egypt's president criticises "oppressive" Syrian regime
Aug. 30 - Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi tells the Non-Aligned Movement summit that it has ethical duty to support the Syrian people against the ''oppressive regime'' in Damascus. Simon Hanna reports.
Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi arrives in Tehran - the first Egyptian leader to visit since Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979. Mursi, who gained office after Egypt's own revolution in 2011, was quick to support another regional struggle - the Syrian uprising. Speaking at the Non-Aligned Movement summit in the Iranian capital, he declared his support for Syrian's fighting to overthrow president al-Assad. (SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) EGYPTIAN PRESIDEN MOHAMED MURSI: "Our solidarity with the struggle of the Syrian people against an oppressive regime that has lost its legitimacy is an ethical duty as well as a political and strategic necessity." His comments reportedly sparked a walkout by the Syrian delegation. The NAM summit's final delaration is set to express deep concern over the violence in Syria and support UN-Arab League efforts broker a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Colorado City's big birthday
Historical Society quickens memories with monument, music, time capsule
The town, failing financially after 58 years, was annexed to Colorado Springs in 1917. Its orphaned name, Colorado City, was later grabbed by a new town that grew
up south of Pueblo.
But such identity losses made no difference to the hundreds of people who attended the 150th anniversary of the original Colorado City Aug. 8 in Bancroft Park. After a day of historically geared entertainment and a craft fair, loud applause followed the unveiling of a new monument that commemorates permanently the exploits, contributions and overall story of the town and the surrounding area known as the Westside.
Organizing the event was the all-volunteer Old Colorado City Historical Society (OCCHS). "We were very pleased with the many people who came and stayed the better part of the day," said Joanne Karlson, OCCHS president. "It was truly a celebration."
The unveiling of the monument was the day's featured event. Funded by a grant and donations gathered by the OCCHS over the past year, the 6-foot high, 4-sided, rose-granite structure displays eight scenes reflecting the Westside's past.
Another high point was the 72-member New Horizons Symphonic Band's performance of a march that had been written 110 years ago for Colorado City's Midland Band. The latter band had folded along with the Colorado Midland railroad in 1920, and the whereabouts of the march's score was unknown to local historians until this year.
The event emcee was Dave Hughes, a longtime Westside civic/historic preservation leader, who had played a major role in organizing the monument plan as well as in finding the Midland Band score (its original publisher still had a copy) and convincing New Horizons band leader Ed Nuccio to play it.
"Founders' Day went even better than I expected, given the packed program - dancers, big band, ceremony, very authentic Civil War display, shootout reenactment, large crowd and Farmers Market hubbub. Looked to be at least 1,000 people in little Bancroft Park." Hughes said afterward. "And I think the two highlights - the playing of the Midland Band March - to a very enthusiastic audience - and the ceremonial gift of the monument to the City were just right."
Founders' Day is an annual celebration by OCCHS members, but they wanted to give it extra touches in 2009 for the 150th (also known as the sesquicentennial), Karlson explained. Sandwiched around the Founders Day event was an art show in the OCCHS' History Center featuring Old Town paintings by Jack Ekstrom Aug. 7 and the burial of a 150-year time capsule in the History Center courtyard Aug. 12 (which is the actual date Colorado City was founded in 1859). The watertight lid on the metal container instructs that it not be opened until the year 2159.
"There's a lot of us who are pretty tired," Karlson said after Founders' Day, noting that the majority of the OCCHS volunteers range in age from their "late 60s to early 80s." She estimated that at least 30 of them were involved in some form or another in the Founders' Day activities, and added a plea for younger citizens who might want to become volunteers.
The monument required raising $11,500 during the better part of the past year. In-kind donations along the way helped ease the cost pinch: the Historical Society received for free artist Johnnie Johnson's illustrations, Ideal-Concrete's preparation of the monument base area and the A-1 crane company's monument installation.
Stone engraver Dick Wilhelm of Wilhelm Monument Company was among those present for the unveiling. He said the stone was extracted from a family-owned quarry between Lyons and Estes Park, and he cut the illustrations and lettering into the 2 tons of stone by hand. "It felt like a noble task," he said. "It's been kind of fun."
Other entertainment at Founders' Day included an encampment by a small contingent of reenactors representing Dodd's Company, which fought at a Civil War battle in New Mexico in 1862; 19th century dance demonstrations, including several in which the public was invited to take part, by the Victorian Society of Colorado Springs; a dramatization of Colorado City's Laughlin-Devlin gunfight and murder trial in 1860; and about 25 arts/crafts booths. The Old Colorado City Library also had activities in conjunction with the event.

The first two games in this series, Dead Space and Crysis, were both three-quels but it is time to change the pace a bit with a prequel or rather an origin game.
Chances are that if a gamer ever owned a PlayStation One, PlayStation 2 or a PC around the time of those consoles, then they have either played or heard about Tomb Raider. The series spawned a number of titles and spin-offs as well. Not only that but Hollywood got in on the act and decided to cash in on the popularity of the series when they released two Tomb Raider movies. The films starred none other than Angelia Jolie and were met with reasonable success.
While Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3 are more inclined towards science fiction, Tomb Raider is looking to make the survival-action-adventure genre its own. The game is releasing on the 5th of March, which essentially means it is following hot on the heels of EA's two titles.
The reboot or rather origin story will allow players to find out what made the innocent student a globetrotting adventurer. Currently in the final stages of development at Crystal Dynamics, Square Enix has plenty riding on the game to ensure it also has something on offer in what has become a rather competitive Q1 for 2013.
Rhianna Pratchett is the person responsible for writing the story of the game and comes with vast experience in the field. One can expect a visceral, gritty experience this time around with Lara being forced to take her first life as she looks to survive and ensure that those with her do too.
Tomb Raider courted plenty of controversy following its reveal trailer during E3. The alleged 'rape scene', which saw Lara apparently being manhandled by one of the game's goons before she rounded him and took his life, the first life she ever took, was met with an outcry from certain members of the public.
The developers of the game were swift in their response, claiming that there was no attempted rape and that they wanted to show the world what finally pushed Lara and forced her to kill someone for the first time.
Many have likened the game to the Uncharted series with its various set-pieces and quick time events and that is not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination.
Does Lara's origin as the Tomb Raider interest you or is it another prequel that you are looking more forward to? A certain prequel regarding a certain God of War perhaps?

First and fore most - THE OPENING CEREMONY! Personally, I thought it was amazing - I loved the fact that it told a story, and totally grasped what it is like to be British. More than anything, however, I loved the Children's literacy part. J K ROWLING WAS THERE! I almost burst! The cauldron was fantastic, too. I loved how it was a little bit different - I couldn't understand why everyone was getting so excited about it until I realized that it was truly a piece of art. I think it was nice that the show wasn't completely concentrated on flashy fireworks and stunts - I loved the simple, totally you'd-only-get-it-if-you-where-British feel too it. However, I could've done without Paul McCartney - yes, he is a music legend, I loved the Beatles, and think their music is amazing but... is it just me who feels he is a tad past it? He's sort of croaky and painful to listen too, and his weird jackets kind of make me cringe a bit... I mean, if you didn't know who he was - what he had written - how talented he had been in his hay-day - and simply closed your eyes and listened to him NOW... Well, you know what I mean. Or maybe you don't. Hey-ho, as my Granny Pat would say, it wouldn't do if we where all the same.
Now though, I've come up with an idea - an idea that could either go brilliantly well, or be a total and utter disaster. Either way - and I'm warning you now, it may well be the most atrocious piece of garbage I've ever written - I'm going to post it, because otherwise, I'm not going to move forward AT ALL. The story I mentioned yesterday is mainly dark fantasy - so I thought that I might try out some of the more emotional, real-life stuff - the kind that I wrote for my Pushkin portfolio. I'd never written that kind of stuff before the competition, it has always, mainly, been totally fictional goblins and dragons type stuff, so looking back, it was the most bizarre and stupid think to randomly put two stories forward of a genre I rarely wrote in. However, I did enjoy it (even if it was a bit depressing) so I'm going to try it out again, and see if it helps me shift this writer's block...
Wish me luck,
Sarah x
(P.S. I'm writing this in installments, different periods of time in this girl's life... I don't know where it's going, no more than you, but maybe it'll turn out alright).
Time, And How Best To Waste It.
Karma isn't the bitch, time is.
Karma is the belief that if someone is a bad person, in the end, they will get their comeuppance, what they deserve. Time is different, time is worse, in my opinion. Time is a relentless, overpowering force that drums on regardless - never stops, never gives you a moments rest. Time is a race, a race with no destination, it just keeps on going - and going - until you are breathless and panting and desperate to stop. Yet you will never stop. You will just keep running - and running - and running - sure that, one day, you will reach the end, you'll finally cross that finishing line...
But you won't.
You'll die. Right there, on your feet. You'll slump to the ground, a pulse less, lifeless body - crippled and wizened with age, broken and aching. You will never reach the end of time's race - nor will your children, your grandchildren, anyone. Yet you will all run it, you will all die trying to overcome it, and yet you will never question the race's motives, nor why you must keep running, you must keep going,why you must run this tiresome race at all.
No matter what you have done - no matter how hard you have tried in life, how hard you have worked, you will still run the race of time, and you will - inevitably - lose. No matter how good a person, you will still die on that track, still never reach the end. Karma is only for the bad in us, is only for those who deserve it. Time is a battle for us all - good or not. It is a punishment, not only for the murderous, the cruel, the deceiving - but for the good, the kind, the loving, too. And time will always triumph - time will always win. No one can beat time, just like no one can control it - manipulate it - stop it, even.
However - and perhaps this is the cruelest of time's many feats - time can be wasted. Time can be dwindled away - hours and hours lost forever, days upon days slipping through outstretched fingers, year after year fading into a great, infinite expanse of nothingness. It is both sad and laughable - how we desperately try and claw it back when it is too late. How we concentrate all of our emotions, all of our strength, on stupid, pointless things - until, too late, we realize all that time we took on reaching a stupid, pointless conclusion, has left us with no time at all.
Observe, if you will, time - and how best to waste it.
There is no place more undignified to break down in aching, gut-wrenching tears than your school toilets. Trust me on that one. As I slumped there - a weak and pathetic being - clutching at the toilet bowl, drenched in sweat, eyes blurred as they stared up at the painfully bright, strip-light above me, I came to find perfect clarity:
I hate my life.
I take a gasping breath, surfacing from frothing, dark waters, the torrents grappling my body like icy hands - only for a moment, before their grasp fastens, tighter still, and I am pulled under once more. The sea is the truth, you see, and within it, I am drowning.
I really, really hate my life.
Hot tears, burning like fiery coals against my cool, pasty skin, drip down my cheeks like droplets of tar, bubbling on the tarmac streets beneath the heady, burning sunlight. I briefly wonder why, after everything that occurred this morning, why I had bothered to put on eyeliner and mascara. Was I really so painfully plastic, so disgustingly obsessed with my own reflection, that no matter how fast my world is crumbling, how heavily I have fallen from grace, I will never stop applying make-up.
My stomach gives another pulsating, coiling gurgle. I can imagine it - squirming uncontrollably, withering like snakes, taking it's time, stalking the moment, waiting to strike. Bile rises in my throat, and I hunch over, my perfectly manicured nails gripping at the porcelain bowl, my body contorted as if halfway through a terrible, and painful transformation - blood pounding in my ears - tears, pouring, faster and thicker still. I am disgusted in myself, my actions. As I vomit - God, this is horrible - I dimly hear someone squeal in horror from the sinks and hurry out the door. No doubt I'd face another anorexia rumor, now. If only - it would be far easier to face than when they finally got their hands on the truth.
Oh God, don't remind me.
The explicit activities of last night burned in the back of my mind like a white-hot poker, searing against bare flesh. Blurred, tainted images slip through my mind, no matter how hard I try and forget them forever. The fifth empty bottle in my hand…The glance across the room at Damian Price, kissing some blonde bitch so passionately, so aggressively, that you couldn't make out which limb belonged to who…The feeling - the desire - to avenge myself, to prove that it was his loss, and another man's gain… The hot prickle of that boy's eyes on the back of my neck. Examining my body like I was some piece of meat on the counter, as if I was nothing more than some biology experiment, something to pick over and probe, without needing to feel ashamed - guilty for his actions…Another bottle…Another glance at Damian Price…Now his gaze wasn't quite as offending…Another shot…Another swig…The room is spinning, my conscience's warning sirens fading… And then, I feel myself move - the heavy weight that is my body - stumbling towards the boy - the boy with no name, with no story. The boy who has been staring at me all night… Finally, I smirk to myself, someone who gives a damn.

There is so much information out there when it comes to venture capitalists. What do you say to them? What is the best way to approach a VC? Will they even care what I have to say?
As our team discusses the process of raising our first angel round, these sites have proved to be an invaluable resource for us. We believe it is always best to hear directly from the source. We did a brief summary of 6 blogs that we read (I am sure we missed some..feel free to suggest other blogs).
I don't think any blog can match the sense of community that is found in the comments of Fred Wilson's blog. Most of the comments are worthy of entire posts. Every morning, some of the most engaged members of the tech community take the time to see what Fred has to say. More importantly, Fred is just as interested in hearing what the community has to say. Plenty of people make a lot of noise about engaging with entrepreneurs. I can say that I have sent Fred two emails, and he has responded to both. Fred certainly cares about his readers, and his actions speak louder then words.
Founded by David Beisel, Rob Go, and Lee Hower, NextView Ventures is a micro VC fund that just closed a $21 million fund. Although they are based out of Boston, they invest across the East Coast, and Silicon Valley. Their blog is a great resource for actionable information for entrepreneurs, with advice ranging from talking about their start as a firm, to how to deal with inbound VC interest.
Charlie O'Donnell's blog is a great resource for those entrepreneurs that like to hustle. Charlie is all about developing a sense of community in the NYC tech scene. He discusses how you should be "human" when trying to raise money, or talk to a VC. Now that he has his own fund, it will be interesting to see the impact he will have on the NYC tech community, and if he will be able to discover the next Sean Parker. Charlie's blog is a must read.
Mark Suster's blog has some of the most actionable information on the web. I have printed out plenty of his posts to read as I try to build up Loquiveri. Mark's #longreads style is a great for those entrepreneurs looking for a clear framework for how to do business. Printing out Mark's posts is a much more cost efficient way of getting an MBA level education. I would consider Mark's blog the Sunday NYT of the tech world. You have to take your time because there is so much information, but it is well worth the read.
I like to think of Brad Feld's blog as the New Yorker of the tech blogs. You get a great variety of topics and great content. This is valuable because so much of the tech space is so specific, and there needs to be more variety. Brad has a no BS style that comes across in his writing. His book reviews are phenomenal, and his thoughts on management and boardroom efficiency are a must read. Like Fred Wilson, Brad is someone who practices what he preaches regarding caring about his readers. I have sent Brad two emails, and he has been incredibly helpful with his responses.
I would consider Chris Dixon the voice a reason in the tech community. He never hypes anything up, and always expresses his views in a calm and articulate manner. In an industry full of big personalities, Chris does a great job of cutting through all of the noise by presenting his views based on facts, not perception. His "Founder Stories" work has always been great, and he makes it very easy for entrepreneurs to talk about how they plan to change the world.

Drumeo Review
Thinking about signing up for Drumeo, but not sure if it's worth the money? I've bought and used all of the options for drum lessons online, so I wrote reviews of them to help you determine which one is best for you.
Drumeo Edge (which consists of Drumeo Live lessons and an organized archive of video lessons) earned our highest rating for its 100's of hours of lesson archives, excellent interface, and experienced team of 20 teachers.
It's cheaper than private lessons, but $29.95/month is still worth an in-depth look, so let me take you through all the details in my Drumeo review below.
– 250+ hours of archived lessons
– Filters to find the style and skill level you are looking for
– 5 or 6 live lessons added every week (live and archived)
– Live lessons have chat function to ask the instructor questions
– 20 different teachers covering a wide range of styles
– Play-along tracks included to practice your skills
– Sheet music and MP3s for all lesson material
– Videos are available in both HD and standard definition
– All content is online, so you don't have to wait or pay for shipping
– Take lessons on any device (desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone)
– Community forum for asking and answering questions
Here are the most common questions I receive about Drumeo. If you have more, feel free to leave them in the comments below and I'll do my best to find an answer for you.
Q: How much will this cost me?
A: $29.95 per month
Q: If I don't like it, can I get my money back?
A: If you are dissatisfied for any reason, just call them up within 90 days and they'll refund your money, no questions asked.
Q: How does Drumeo Edge compare to private lessons?
A: In my experience, Drumeo is going to be less expensive than any worthwhile private instructor. And 80% of the time, these online lessons will actually be more valuable, because 1) the instructor has more time to give examples and explain concepts, 2) the material can be easily viewed and reviewed 24/7/365, and 3) Drumeo offers more camera angles, sheet music, and MP3s than would ever be possible with a live instructor. These are the economies of scale.
However, some benefits of private lessons don't scale so well. I would recommend that beginners use Drumeo for 6 months or so while they get comfortable with all of the fundamentals. Then find a reputable private drum instructor who can give you feedback about your technique and fill in the gaps in your musical understanding. After 3-6 months with the instructor, you've probably completed the beginning stage and are ready to build experience with all of the styles, songs, and exercises. This will take you a while (several years) before you feel really well-versed and throughout that period you might follow a regimen of 9 months online, 3 months private, 9 months online, 3 months private, etc. Of course this can and will vary depending on many factors, but it's an approach you might consider to reap benefits from both lesson formats.
Q: How many lessons will I have access to?
A: Drumeo Edge has over 250 1-hour lessons in its archive currently (2012) and they release 5 new lessons every week. You'll also get access to a large library of play-along videos/tracks.
Q: How many instructors are there?
A: There are currently 20 instructors and they will add more if needed to cover interest for some particular niche.
Q: System requirements?
A: As long as you have a reasonably modern computer and an internet connection faster than 56k dial-up, you should be fine. The videos are available in HD and standard definition so you can choose which is best for your connection. The website works on both PCs and Macs, and has been optimized for mobile devices like Android phones, iPads, and iPhones, so you can easily put it on your music stand and mix it in with your practice.
Q: Can I learn actual songs with Drumeo Edge?
A: The focus of most lessons is on techniques and exercises to get you to a level where you can hold your own with other musicians. However, while the live lessons do not focus on actual songs, they have separately recorded a library of 50 play-along tracks for you use and experiment with, complete with notation. These include songs from hard rock, alternative rock, pop rock, folk rock, latin, and jazz.

Full Review
Rating: 97.9/100. Drumeo combines a deep archive of lessons with 5-6 new live lessons every week. The entire site and lesson series is infectiously positive and encouraging.
Production values are high and each of their 16 instructors adds valuable expertise. In short, Drumeo is everything that online drum lessons should be.
– 100's of video lessons covering all styles & skill levels
– Less expensive than private drum lessons
– 20 experienced drum instructors to learn from
– Great support (forum, email, phone and chat), 7 days/week
– Learn on any device: desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone
– Live lessons with chat daily
– 90-day, 100% money back guarantee
– Access requires monthly subscription
– Old drumming courses are sold separately
– Lessons are usually about an hour
– Computer and Internet connection required
Lesson Format
Each lesson starts with the instructor rocking out with an example of the lesson's material. This will last for a few minutes and then the instructor and moderator will discuss the topic and any housekeeping updates regarding the website. Then around the 5-minute mark they will get into the 10 or so exercises for that lesson.
As you can see, they give you a couple different camera angles as well as the sheet music to follow along with. They also use something called SmartBeat to show the bouncing ball above the music as the instructor plays. I find it very useful to be able to see both the hands, feet and music all in one screen.
If you're viewing a live lesson then you will be able to discuss the material with other students and ask the instructor questions through the chat room. They also have some giveaways for the live viewers, but the lesson material and feedback is more than enough reason to attend.
Each Drumeo lesson is taught by one of their 20 highly-qualified instructors and is moderated by an assistant.
Each instructor has their own specialties and strengths and this allows Drumeo to offer you lessons on every aspect of drumming from someone who really excels in that area.
Lessons range from beginner to advanced in every style and there are very handy filters built into the lesson library.
So if you are a beginner just starting out, you can set it so that you don't get overwhelmed with the advanced material.
Sometimes it's nice to watch that stuff just for inspiration. Lesson 112 – "Introduction to Blast Beats" is a personal favorite of mine.
Here's a small sample of lessons on a wide range of topics you'll find in the Drumeo Edge member's area:
01 – Bass Drum Technique
06 – Drum Set Dynamics
13 – Single Stroke Roll Speed
23 – Jazz Drumming
29 – Stick Tricks and Showmanship
33 – Drum & Bass
38 – Percussion and Hand Drumming
42 – Progressive Rock
69 – Broken Up Hi-Hat Beats
79 – Developing Speed Around the Kit
97 – How to Tune Your Drums
107 – Hand Drumming Djembe/Cajon
132 – Practicing on V-Drums
149 – Funk Drumming for Beginners
The resources are fairly straight-forward, but everything is high-quality and exactly what you need. Each lesson video uses several camera angles so that you can see exactly what the instructor is talking about. The camera angles may sometimes be combined with the sheet music so that you can view everything at the same time.
The sheet music is available directly below the video or you can download it as a PDF. They also have each exercise recorded independently at two different tempos so you can quickly queue up the specific exercise, put it on repeat, and play along. And if you're attending a live lesson (versus those in the archives), you can ask the instructor questions via the chat room.
If you miss a live lesson because work runs late or you've got tickets to the game, you can always find it in the Lesson Library and watch it when you have time.
There you have access to a couple hundred archived lessons with 5 new lessons added each week.
The new lessons they add are mostly from Drumeo Live, their daily live lessons with chat support.
Plus, you can always discuss your questions and drumming interests in the forums with other students and instructors.
To see everything that's available, check out the video tour with co-founder Jared Falk in the Video Tour tab at the top of this page.
Is Drumeo for You?
For most students, I predict the answer will be yes. Even compared to live lessons (which I've had for more than a decade), I would have preferred Drumeo for most of those years.
Once you get to the semi-professional level, you're going to need a private teacher to give you direct feedback and help you make contacts in the industry, but until you're ready to make that step, Drumeo is less expensive, more flexible, and offers more resources than could ever be expected from a private teacher.
If you're concerned about not being motivated enough to take advantage of the live lessons, then Drumming System (their DVD course) might be better for you. Not having lifetime access is the only real downside of Drumeo, so if you prefer to have lessons waiting for you until you're ready, then I would go with Drumming System.
Otherwise, Drumeo is going to offer the best value for money of anything out there. Either way, it's worth giving it a shot for a month to see if it's worth the investment in your drumming long-term.
Conclusion to my Drumeo Review
I hope you enjoyed my review of Drumeo and that you now have a better idea of whether it's right for you.

There are a couple of unscrupulous DNA groups on Facebook that claim to help adoptees find their birth families. The "searchers" misrepresent themselves as experts when they are not and they are asking for money to "help" with your searches. If you are an adoptee looking for your birth family, or you are a birth family member looking for the adoptee, the group you need to join is Search Squad. The "Search Angels" volunteer their time and expertise and they are vetted by the administrators. I am one of those Search Angels and I am appalled at what I am seeing in some other groups. Search Squad is an sister group to CeCe Moore's DNA Detectives group.
Here is the description of the DNA Detectives group:
"The DNA Detectives group is focused on bringing together volunteers with genetic genealogy and searching experience with those seeking biological family -- adoptees, foundlings, donor-conceived individuals, unknown paternity and all other types of unknown parentage cases, near or far. This group is for members helping members and self-education."
And here is some information from Search Squad pinned post:
"We are a group of VOLUNTEER Search Angels. We called this group Search Squad for a reason - we work together as a team and amazing things happen. Cases are not assigned - this group is truly a squad and we work together on cases. Each volunteer has their own set of skills and databases and chooses posts they think they can help with...then finds and posts information that other volunteers can work from when they are here. With that being said, there can also be people here who are not helpful and may even be harmful. Be cautious when communicating in private with any individual, trust your instincts. If you keep your search in the open on this group, we can monitor and jump in if something seems off. If you have concerns, please let an admin know. We conduct searches on your post. We do not use email, phone calls, or texting to work your search, we work as a TEAM. You may be contacted by an "Authorized Angel" in a PM with questions or sensitive information. Those "Authorized Angels" can be found in the files section, and are also linked in your "welcome" post after your post is approved."
DNA Detectives is more for the do-it-yourselfer and for people wanting to learn more about DNA strategies. There are quite a few expert genetic genealogists that monitor and contribute to this group so it is a great learning environment.
Search Squad is more for the person that does not have much experience with traditional genealogy or genetic genealogy and needs help with their search.
If you stick to these two groups you will not go wrong.

The New Armouries was built against the medieval inner curtain wall at the Tower of London in 1663-4 as a small arms store, and was later used for displays of the Royal Armouries collections. On the opposite side of the curtain wall a range of buildings providing soldiers' houses was constructed in the mid 17th century. This was rebuilt as the Irish Barracks by Dugal Campbell in the 1750s, but was demolished during the 19th century. Oxford Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological and building recording at the New Armouries and Irish Barracks during redevelopment works by Historic Royal Palaces between 1997 and 2000. Excavations found traces of Roman deposits, and the remains of medieval buildings and features constructed within the royal garden. The complete plan of Dugal Campbell's Irish Barracks was revealed. This Occasional Paper contains a full account of the archaeological results and building surveys, a discussion of the historical and cartographic evidence, and reports on finds and environmental remains.Keevill, Graham is the author of 'Tower of London New Armouries Project ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780904220360 and ISBN 0904220362.[read more]

The Bayelsa State Government has concluded plans to move against residents of Yenagoa causing the blockage of drains thereby leading to flooding of several parts of the state capital.
The month of June has been terrible for many residents of Yenagoa as the heavy down pour had caused serious floods, thus sacking many people from their homes.
The state government said it was ready to checkmate incessant flooding in some parts of the state capital and warned residents against indiscriminate dumping of refuse, blockage of the drains and illegal structures along drainage lines.
Chief of Staff, Government House, Rt. Hon. Talford Ongolo, who led other top government functionaries including Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Hon. Jonathan Obuebite, Commissioner of Works and Infrastructure, Mr. Lawrence Ehwrujakpor, Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Williams Alamene, on an on-the-spot assessment to some areas being ravaged by flood, said the state government would not watch residents of the state capital suffer because of the conduct of few people.
Ongolo, who expressed concern over the issue of flood recorded in some parts of the state, assured residents of the affected areas and other parts of the state of the administration's commitment to put an end to the menace.
According to him, Governor Henry Seriake Dickson has set up an inter-ministerial committee to look into the issue of flooding in the state and proffer a lasting solution.
He disclosed that relevant government agencies have commenced work on the clearing of drainages for free flow of water and called for the collaborative efforts of the people in the state at ensuring that the issue of flooding becomes a thing of the past.
Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Lawrence Ehwrujakpo, in his remarks, said the government would adopt a short term measure of clearing the drainage and channeling it to a particular point.
He, however, warned that any resident caught violating the state environmental law would be dealt with in accordance with the law.
Ehwrujakpo who accused some Bayelsans of building houses on canals which has affected free flow of water in the natural channels and subsequently resulting into flooding in the affected areas threatened that government will not hesitate to demolish houses that are blocking the canals.

The Evolution of Diamond Cutting
Simply put, diamond cutting is about the style and design used when sculpting the diamond before it is polished. There are a number of different diamond cuts that each have their own unique characteristics associated with them. The cut does not necessarily refer to the shape of the diamond, but rather the symmetry, proportion and the eventual polish of the diamond. A diamond's cut significantly affects its brilliance, which means if it's badly cut, it will be more likely to be dull and lackluster. The history of diamond cuts goes back to the 13th century, in India, when the natural point cut diamond became a symbol of mystical power and royalty.
Point Cut
The original natural "point cut" is not actually a "cut" at all, as the technology did not exist to cut diamonds until almost a century later. In fact the term point-cut comes from the diamonds natural dodecahedron or octahedron shapes. For many centuries to come natural point cut diamonds would remain the most precious of all and would remain in their natural uncut form.
Table Cut
Somewhere around the mid 14th century, significant advancements in diamond cutting techniques occurred, and some adjustments and improvements were made to the natural point-cut by shearing off some of the octahedrons top half to create the flat looking table cut. This was usually reserved for colored gemstones rather than diamonds due to its duller luminosity.
Rose Cut
The rose cut first appeared in the 16th century and was most common during the Victorian and Georgian eras. The rose cuts key features are that of a flat bottom, a dome-shaped crown and the single apex on top. The Rose Cut is far more complex when it comes to diamond cutting than that of the table cut, and it features anywhere between 3 and 24 facets, a rose cut diamond somewhat resembles the shape of a budding rose, hence the name.
Single Cut and Full Cut Modern Brilliant Cut
The single diamond cut is one of the oldest cuts and dates back to as early as the 14th century. Its main features are the large table top and the octagonal girdle and it usually features at least 18 facets. This cut made way for the full-cut or modern Brilliant Cut which is a more complex version of the single cut and features 57 or 58 facets. The rounder full-cut became prominent in the Art Nouveau period in the early 20th century and is still popular to this day. The Brilliant cut enables more light to shine through due to its complexity and therefore appears to be more luminous than other cuts.

You see it first in the exterior, which everyday folk can tell is a carbon copy of the 2001-2005 Toyota RAV4 from roof to tires. The folks over at Chery's parent company in China could have spent a little more on design and come up with something more original than imitating nearly basic exterior aspect of the RAV4, save for the grille and the two red lamps at the rear bumper. As a result it's a rolling intellectual property right violation.
The interior seems to be at par with many compact SUVs, but upon close inspection and constant use, whatever's inside looks and feels cheap. The plastics (especially those for the center console, the cupholders behind the center console, the front dashboard and the bins around the a/t) look dirty, the buttons for the airconditioning (a/c), defroster and hazard light use feel flimsy, and the a/c blower/temperature/air direction knobs look like pinball launch machine levers. Speaking of the a/c, the leftmost and rightmost aircon vents are similar to that on the Hyundai Veracruz, and moving them to provide cold air to front occupants is frustrating due to their limited latitude/longitude travel. The head unit looks decent, but actual usage isn't nice - there's no manual frequency adjustment feature and no MP3 capability, the sound is tinny and the fonts on the head unit's blue backlit display are hard to see. The steering wheel looks like it was assembled in haste, as several cracks within the plastic steering column housing were noticeable, enough to see the different mechanical bits inside.
At least when it comes to storage and interior lighting the Tiggo does make a positive mark, as there are lots of places throughout the cabin to insert bric a brac, the center console can hold two paperback copies of the Day of The Jackal novel, there are lamps for every cabin section and the rearmost area swallows three sacks of coconut husks (with room to spare for rearward vision). There's another problem that pops up - the rear backrests fold flat, but when they are folded the seats aren't parallel to the rearmost area's floor, seriously limiting cargo space.
The Mitsubishi-sourced powerplant and four speed a/t nestled in the engine bay moves the Tiggo's 1,375 kg curb weight move decently around. You get into the narrow powerband at 3250-3500 rpm, but it's best to use the a/t's manual mode for acceleration (since the shift points are much higher), especially on inclines. That way you won't fall out of the power curve on upshifts, as second gear is short and third gear is tall. Despite the thin power curve, the unit managed 7.71 km/l on four days of mixed driving.
The ride is comfortable enough to get some shuteye (should you become a lucky passenger) and there's surprisingly little body roll, with traction from the Champiro 128 GT Radial 235/60R16s breaking at 70-80 kph. Steering feel is light but feedback is blunt, and the wheel has a tendency to wander occasionally. But the really bad thing about the unit is its stopping ability; it's just plain scary. It feels like the brake pedal (or your right foot) moves an inch or more of longitudinal travel to get decent stoppage. As a result top speed was limited to 139 kph, for obvious safety reasons. Also, the handbrake only bites when the stick is pulled at a 40-45 degree angle. And if that's not enough, the foglight switch location is hard to reach (it's parallel to the driver's left knee). At least the side mirrors have lateral vision up to the second lane of sight, and the foglights' brightness can replace the headlights anytime.
The Tiggo 2.0 A/T, no doubt, is a significant upgrade to the brand and the Chery marque. It actually has the making to become a first SUV/first vehicle for a budding college student or a rookie yuppie, but serious safety and fit and finish issues render interminable the SUV's aforementioned potential. Sad to say, this China-made sport-ute will forever be tasked as such, until a better iteration arrives.

Massage is an ancient technique that has been used by humans for centuries.
So why wouldn't have all the same benefits for your dog as it does for us?
Massage can be defined as;
The art of pressing, rubbing and manipulating the soft tissues of the body.'
Canine Remedial Massage encompasses Swedish Massage and myofascial release techniques with passive stretches and active exercises. All of which aim to re-balance your dog's body and optimize muscle and joint health and mobility.
By getting hands on with your dog, our therapist will feel every lump and bump on your dog's body, in doing so will be able to locate and release any tight muscles and knots. They will be able to note any changing areas of concern and ideally treat the issue before it becomes more of a problem. Passive stretches and active exercises to encourage dogs to weight bear more evenly, increases their range of motion, suppleness, muscle tone and flexibility.
Each dog will have an individual treatment plan and this plan may differ throughout the treatment depending on the dog's progression. Some dogs may take a few sessions to understand what it is all about; they may not be unfamiliar with being touched in certain areas, have a short attention span or may have a lack of trust. Our therapist will work at a rate that your dog is comfortable. Sessions generally last from an hour to an hour and half and will include a full massage, stretches and exercises if and when appropriate.

By Daniel Carlson | Film | May 19, 2006 |
"When," said the moon to the stars in the sky
"Soon," said the wind that followed the moon
"Who," said the cloud that started to cry
"Me," said the rider, dry as a bone
I love Westerns, but I find most of them unwatchable. The stories and settings are tailor-made for epics about love, death, betrayal; it's a uniquely American genre, our own version of Shakespeare. But the Western's heyday is a good 40 years gone, and it seems now that, at least most of the time, something gets lost in the translation from thought to script to film, and for every film like Unforgiven there's another like The Postman. In fact, that's one of the biggest problems facing the genre today: The need to change it, twist it, make it post-apocalyptic or overly stylized or full of broad, cheap humor. So it's something of a minor miracle that director John Hillcoat's latest film, The Proposition, manages to add a few updates to the classical Western while retaining and expanding upon all the expected themes of bloodlust, murder, bounty hunters, and brotherly disaffection. Hillcoat manages to sidestep the concept versus execution landmine by making the entire concept the execution. The Proposition is thinly plotted at best, but the film is more about the feel of the story and its impact on the viewer than any simplistic kind of conclusion to a storytelling arc. It's an experiential, postmodern Western, and it totally works.
After serene opening credits set to a genre-typical acoustic theme, Hillcoat throws us right into the action with a gunfight between a group of soldiers and a few ragged-looking men and a couple of Asian prostitutes (ah, the West) defending themselves in a tin shack. Among the few men is Guy Pearce, who's made a career out of gunfights where he's holed up in a rotten old house, but this role is a far cry from the slick, manipulative detective he played in L.A. Confidential almost 10 years ago. Pearce is Charlie Burns, doing his best to shoot back at the surrounding lawmen and protect his younger brother, Mikey (Richard Wilson), who's unarmed and balled up weeping on the floor. They're outgunned and apprehended by Captain Stanley (Ray Winstone), who locks up Mikey and cuts a deal with Charlie: Charlie and Mikey will be allowed to go free if Charlie kills his older brother, Arthur (Danny Huston), who's on the lam and wanted for the grisly murders of a local family. Charlie has until Christmas, nine days hence, to do the deed, or Stanley will let Mikey hang.
And that's pretty much it. Like I said, the plot's really just an idea, a loose concept that Hillcoat lets float for just over 100 minutes. But screenwriter Nick Cave (yes, he of the Bad Seeds) manages to sustain the tension and energy by allowing his characters to live in a fully realized world, scraping out a brutal, dirty, sweaty existence in the Australian desert. Older Westerns had a flat, generic look, with easily distinguishable good guys and villains living in a land where things stayed pretty clean and no one seemed to perspire that much. But Hillcoat's look at Australia in the late 19th century is frightening in its genuine grit, where flies hover over man and beast alike, and the lines between good and evil are harder to define. Charlie isn't a rogue with a soft spot, and Stanley isn't a hard-ass regulator with a concrete respect for the law; there are no easy characterizations or stereotypes here. Cave and Hillcoat seem to realize that good and bad aren't separated by a big wall but merely extreme ends of the same spectrum, and it's how far you're willing to go to get what you want that dictates where on that continuum you land.
Charlie sets out to find Arthur and comes across a drunken bounty hunter named Lamb, played to the hilt by John Hurt. Charlie, if I can violently mix Western titles, is a pale rider with no name, and his lengthy scene in a run-down and deserted bar with Lamb is just one the many welcome tangents Cave lays out during the film. The insane Lamb is used to represent the hypocrisy of that era; he frequently remarks to Charlie that they are "white men, not beasts," and don't need to draw their guns or get into fights. Lamb is the furthest xenophobic extreme of Stanley, who stubbornly puts up with his surroundings by clinging to his repeated mantra: "I will civilize this land." But for Hillcoat, this is a futile search. There is no peace or civilization to be had, just an endless series of retributive crimes and the dreadful waiting period in between.
Cave is in love with language, letting subtle dialogue cues serve to shed light on the characters. Stanley detests the desert, at one point gazing out at the sun-blasted expanses and muttering, à la Dorothy Parker, "What fresh hell is this?" Arthur fancies himself a philosopher, too, often reflecting upon man's insignificance while gazing into the sunset. And Cave's own words appear in a whispered voice-over while Charlie rides across the desert, an eerie poem about death and damnation and riders and guns and the usual Western stuff. But it isn't cliched; in fact, it's relentlessly cool. The Proposition does for Westerns what Rian Johnson's Brick did earlier this year for neo-noir, and though it's not as superior as Johnson's film, it's still a gripping adventure that focuses more on the means than the end.
Pearce's performance here is always watchable and sometimes outright compelling. I've never felt he's gotten the attention stateside that he deserves, and though he first showed up on American viewers' radar with L.A. Confidential, his nuanced performance in Curtis Hanson's noir potboiler was sadly overshadowed by the wattage of his costars. But he's great here as a man willing to kill one brother to save another, and it's a shame he doesn't get to share more screen time with Huston, a soulless gunslinger who might be the closest thing in the film to an outright villain (he did, after all, rape a pregnant woman before killing her and slaughtering her family, so he's a bit short on relatability). Charlie and Arthur partner up at one point and ride hard into town bent on vengeance, and the final sequence counters its predictability by presenting the violence in a stark, musicless manner that lends it disturbing weight. And when Charlie finally reaches the end, there's no joy or sorrow in what he's done or how he's done it, just a kind of existential dread as he ponders a question that's been posed to him with the last lines of the film: What are you going to do now? And his empty stare over the plains says it all.

Welcome to Williams Photography
Hello! LeAnne and Matthew here to answer all your burning questions about us, our business,
and everything that goes into shooting your gorgeous wedding from beginning to end.
We are a mother-son team. We know each other very well. A look or a gesture across a quiet ceremony is all that's needed to communicate.
Our styles are similar enough to add cohesion to your wedding photography.
But different enough to capture the artistic side as well as the rush and excitement with a photo journalist vibe.
Plus we really enjoy what we are doing. It's fun for us to go to your wedding and it doesn't feel like a "job" at all.
Once we buckle up our camera belts ; we are on a mission! There is no where else we want to be or anything else we would rather be doing.
Before we dive into all the details of what we offer; we want to tell you a little bit about who we areas individuals.
LeAnne Williams
Hello! I'm the owner and lead photograher of Williams Photography.
Photography has been my career of choice for over 3 decades.
I still feel so excited every time I shoot a wedding.
I've seen A LOT of love and shenangans! I laugh, I cry happy tears, and
I grow to care deeply for my couples.
When it comes to shooting weddings, I'm big on the details aspect of it all. I love to capture the way a bride's veil catches the light when the
wind makes it billow or the overwhelming emotion a grooms face reveals when looking at his beloved.
I do it all but I live for those emotional close ups and otherwise less noticeable details someone else may miss.
Mathew Harader
Hi!! A little bit about me and my background: I've been around prophotography all my life.
Thanks, Mom!
Yet I feel found my calling while back-packing around Europe with one of my moms old cameras.
I was particularly drawn to documentary photography.
Upon my return; I changed course in my studies and enrolled in an intensive photography program.
When my mother offered me a position in her studio; I jumped at the opportunity.
There's just a certain sort of magic about an image and the art of photography in general.
How amazing is it that we can capture one tiny little blip in time for the rest of eternity?

We have a super-tasty-extra-delicious-make-your-taste-buds-scream-with-delight treat for you today. Seriously.
Who doesn't LOVE chocolate? If you don't, you should probably just get out of here. Just kidding :) Well, kind of. We LOVE chocolate. Like that can't-eat, can't-sleep, reach-for-the-stars, over-the-fence kind of love.
Now on to the goods … If you haven't tried Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter yet, put on your running shoes and run as fast as possible to your nearest grocery store (you may want to first make sure they carry Justin's.) I promise you won't regret it. Plus you'll get in a terrific workout (unless you're already at the grocery store).
So I tried this little packet of Heaven and fell in love. You could almost say it was love at first sight. Then I decided to make some lovely hot chocolate using this packet of Heaven. Best decision ever. Try it. Your taste buds will love you.
What you'll need:
1 cup almond milk (feel free to use whatever milk you prefer)
1 packet Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter (as seen above)
Ground Cinnamon, to taste
Whipped Cream, optional
Ready. Set. Go.
1) Heat milk on stovetop at medium-high heat.
2) Once milk starts a slow boil, add full packet of Justin's and whisk continuously until it is completely incorporated.
3) Bring to a rolling boil.
4) Pour into your favorite mug and top with loads of whipped cream and a dash of ground cinnamon
*Note: When using Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter there will be some small pieces of nuts so don't be alarmed to find them as you're drinking your creamy hot chocolate.
<3 Love and chocolate
Lauren, the NBN Chocolate Addict
