One of the main outcomes of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), held in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012, was the agreement by Member States to launch a process to develop a set of sustainable development goals (SDGs). Rio+20 did not elaborate specific goals but stated that the SDGs should be limited in number, aspirational and easy to communicate. The goals should address in a balanced way all three dimensions of sustainable development and be coherent with and integrated into the UN development agenda beyond 2015.

Something smells foul with Medicare Fraud and Misuse Detection project05-Mar-2012
On February 23rd, the Associated Press reported that months after the Summer 2011 launch of a $77 million computer system to detect Medicare fraud, only one suspicious payment worth $7591 had been stopped by Christmas. See: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501363_162-57383858/apnewsbreak-anti-fraud-effort-disappoints/.
After hearing about all the studies that have found hundreds of millions and even billions of fraud and abuse in Medicare, I'm convinced a student could have done a much better job preventing bad payments using random manual reviews!
Medicare officials say that the $7,591 in prevented Medicare payments doesn't reflect $20 million in potential savings in the first six months of system operation resulting from flagged cases and denial of suspect claims that went to investigators. But those savings and cases have not been quantified nor analyzed for public consumption. So all we really know is that the new shiny and very expensive system stopped one measly $7K payment in the government's attempt to end 'pay and chase' for Medicare payments (where payments are first made and then fraudulent or unauthorized payments are chased down in attempts to recoup them).
Why is this such a tough problem to solve?
As a U.S. citizen and taxpayer, this subject always riles me up. Various high profile efforts from the White House and our Congress have gone absolutely nowhere that I can tell in stopping Medicare and Medicaid abuse, and returning the stolen or wasted funds to the very needy U.S. Treasury till. I suppose more folks aren't as worked up as I am over this issue because essentially this is an anonymous victimless crime. Unlike credit card or other types of financial fraud, here the crooks and bad guys aren't hurting any consumers directly. (In contrast they hurt the big mammoth private and public insurance companies). But indirectly, they are jeopardizing our national future and costing me and the rest of you a ton of money in wasted taxes that go to worthwhile projects, like our children's education, that are in dire need of funding.
I've heard reliable government (e.g. from the Office of Management and Budget) estimates that Medicare and Medicaid Fraud is as high or higher than $60 billion. I've also seen several reliable vendor estimates, including one recent national benchmark test done for HHS that found about $20 billion of fraud and abuse in just two of the healthcare industry segments (Part A, Hospital and Part B, Physician).
So what on earth went wrong?
I've been talking with lots of knowledgeable colleagues about this flop, asking what they think was the problem, just to make sure I'm not totally off in left field. Summing it all up, here are the three main factors that most think may have contributed to this fiasco:
a) The contractors who developed the system had no expertise in this type of fraud and predictive modeling and analytics. This is the most common theory on the street, since it's easy to point the finger to the system developers. But surely even the worst system could have detected more than $7K in fraud ahead of the payment.
b) The bureaucrats and staff at the government agency helping develop and implement the system did not cooperate with the system developers and contractors, and gave them bad test data and little or bad feedback on test results. This was either a result of inertia or fear of job insecurity. (Who knows if this is really the case, but it's a common theory out there).
c) The bad guys or criminals have insiders in the government agencies and made sure the system would fail. (This sounds really far-fetched but you can't rule this out).
Whatever the reasons for the poor results, I just really hope this doesn't stop the little momentum that exists in the government to put a stop to Medicare and Medicaid fraud and abuse. Most governmental initiatives in this area have fallen flat on their face in recent years, largely because of bipartisan politics.
And while the clock keeps ticking, and our national deficit keeps ratcheting up, the fraudsters and abusers continue to have their heydays and must be laughing all the way to their offshore banks. At the same time, the legitimate doctors and healthcare providers continue to be plagued by what seems to be an antiquated and largely brain-dead rule-based taxpayer-funded health care payment system.

504 - Secret Agent Super Dragon - I don't know what it is about dubbed movies in MST3K, but I find them universally impossible to follow. I had no idea what the plot of this flick was for a very long time. I finally pieced together that it had something to do with drugging people to take over the world, even if that doesn't make too much sense.
The funniest part of this episode, to me, came from the movie and not the riffing. Fremont, Michigan? Home of the Gerber baby food plant? What the hell? What, did the dubbing guys throw a dart at a US map or something? Super Dragon's fellow agent crashed into a river on Canyon Road in Fremont. Either he was driving a King Midget and fell into a ditch, or the topography of Northern Michigan has changed significantly since 1966. And, a bunch of college kids were the test subjects of the Synchron-2 drug? Maybe that would explain why there's no college at all in the town today? I should tell my in-laws about this. I bet they had no idea they live only few miles from the "Super Dragon College Massacre of 1966."
No mention of the XT-5000? Aw, how could Crow and Servo forget their first son? In this episode, they give life to Minksy, the super-annoying but colorful robot ("I am the atomic-powered robot. Please give my best wishes to everybody."). He is soon callously murdered by Grandfather Joel in an apparent "accident." I can only assume the same fate befell poor XT-5000, as we haven't heard from this gentle being who spoke only in foam since 211. Why, Joel, why?
This set of host segments is more my style. We start out with some great acting from Frank in the invention exchange as he fails as a stand-up comedian even with a computerized audience. Following that is Minsky, a song with Joel getting full-on goofy again, another in the "Crow's Scripts" series and some fatherly advice from Joel to the bots about why spies use puns after murder. A nice, well-rounded selection. I note, with interest, that Gypsy does not appear at all in the host segments... and Joel appears to be in a better mood than he has been lately. Hmm.
The end of this episode marks the exact halfway point in the series. From K01 to 504, there are 99 episodes and from 505 to 1013 there are 98 episodes and 1 movie. With only 8 more to go, Joel just barely got more episodes in than Mike, though Mike appeared in all 6 of the specials.
This episode is also the last for which I will be watching The Mystery Science Theater Hour segments. This is the last episode for which fan copies of the segments are available, anyway. I couldn't recommend watching these things to any but the nuttiest of MST3K fans. There's not a lot to them. Each half of an episode gets a very brief intro and outro by Mike dressed in his Jack Perkins outfit. They're not particularly funny, though Mike does an excellent job -- as always -- in this role. In fact, the only parts of these that I really liked were the credits. Instead of fading to black, the credits scroll over a dimmed MSTH set. It's always fun to watch what the silhouette of Mike/Jack will do. For some reason, it's hilarious when he pretends to trip over the set and a bunch of stage hands have to run out and help him up.

Entering 2012, the dual core war has just ended. Vendors are now tightening their work to give the crowds some techy gadget to freak out for!
Speculated as the year of multi-cores, HTC, has begun the battle of quad-cores, giving the geek crowd a gadget that will hit you right in your geekiness.
The Taiwanese manufacturer launched its flagship phone, One X, which takes the lead baton from previous flagship model, HTC Sensation, a dual-core smartphone. The HTC One X was announced on the 26th February, 2012, at the Mobile World Congress and boasts the most powerful specs we have ever seen on the technology front today.
One X comes preloaded with the new HTC Sense 4.0 along with Google's Ice Cream Sandwich OS, making it an eye-candy, due to changes made in Android 4.0 OS.
It packs in a vicious a 1.5 GHz 4-Plus-1 quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 with a fifth Battery Saver Core. One X surely gives you some excellent user experience like no lags and better performance with the beastly CPU-GPU combination.
Moving onto the Camera part, this is got some mighty camera processing power. One X comes with a rear camera is f/2 in aperture size and 8 megapixels with smart LED flash, and BSI sensor and can autofocus in 0.2 seconds which can take four digital photos per second while watching videos or movies and a front camera of 1.3 MP. (Wait let me pick my jaw up)
HTC really sets the bar so high for further quad-core mobiles coming up in the future, Samsung and LG will have to prove their might against the ONE! Notice how beautiful the Gorilla Glass 2 touch screen is while it mirrors the ceiling in the above image.
I, for once, am impressed with the speed and sexiness of the HTC bandwagon along with the monster camera specs, this is phone to watch out for. And as it says on the cover, this is ONE you have been waiting for!


text: Dear Vegas, thanks for all the mixed emotions my family and I got from you! One second we love you and the next we are slowly dying from the heat or the smell but then the views just took our breath away and then those rides at stratosphere were just horribly terrifying! BUT… at the end of day it was an amazing trip. Not only because of the food was good and the views were amazing but because I got to laugh so hard with my family, cry with my family, hate the heat or smell with my family and fall in love with the beauty of the city with my family. One of my bestfriends once told me " I rather have 'alright' plans with quality people than 'quality' plans with alright people." So even though vegas wasn't exactly the perfectly plan trip, it turned out perfect because of the quality time spent with the most amazing people in my life. I am so grateful to have the relationship I have with everyone in my family. We all talk to each other like we are best friends and we all come to each other if we are ever stuck in a bad situation and that I believe is how it is supposed to be. I have many friends who feel they are to scared or think it is stupid to talk to their parents or siblings about personal things but who better to go to then them? Your parents are there for you and will always want the best for their children so why would they ever give you bad advice. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice about ANYTHING and going to them when you need something because they were our age before and they know way more than we imagine. So for those who are close to their families thats amazing! and for those who aren't, I encourage you to talk and open up because there is no love stronger then the bond of any family<3 Happy 4th of July guys!

No extra Medicaid money could make state budget even tighter
When the new state budget took effect earlier this month, it included sizable hits to some Health and Human Services programs. But life could get bleaker for all state agencies if Medicaid money from Congress doesn't pan out. Many state officials nationwide have their fingers crossed that Congress will come through with extra funding for the health insurance program that is split with the states and covers the poor and disabled. The economic downturn has added more people eligible for… Read More »

I have witnessed the cavalcade directed toward a meridional kingdom, under the command of an agreeable lady. I saw the imitation of spring and of her bizarre escort.
Each man was on foot in front of the palfrey of his chosen woman, leading it by the right hand, and was listening to some mirthful or gallant tale from his companion. In this manner they were driving away melancholy, following the instructions imposed for the journey by the sovereign of the retinue.
I had retired to a barren wilderness, where I was simulating the fulfillment of a penance assigned by the lady of my devotion, discontent with my eccentric ways.
The ladies of the retinue heard amid laughter the story of my mistake and decided to take me with them, in the hopes of attaining my absolution.
I joined the company of nobles and adopted their delirious happiness, mounted on a recalcitrant ass.
I fell on my knees in front of my lady, while the others persuaded her in a noisy chorus. The most beautiful of all of them meanwhile was adapting a paper crown to my head.
The lady of my thoughts lifted me from humiliation, stretching out her right arm to me.

All Types of Flus and Colds
NEW FLU VARIANTS are being reported on television and in newspapers with dire warnings that we may face a global pandemic. These new strains could spread rapidly from country to country. Five years ago the SARS flu strain caused numerous deaths primarily in China. Later, in 2007 bird flu variants were tracked as they spread from country to country.
Now, as of April 13, 2009, Swine Flu cases were identified and reported in Mexico on April 13, 2009 and three days later in the US and England.
MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution) is a germicidal agent capable of attacking and killing evolving flu viruses. It operates without regard for the strain or variation that may evolve from time to time. This opinion is based on the chemistry and behavior of activated MMS when it is used according to the instructions below. Unlike antibiotics or vaccines, activated MMS (chlorine dioxide) is pathogen-cidal without regard to strains or evolving variants of Flu viruses – as has been known since 1950. Methods for using activated MMS as a universal flu deterrent will be described herein.
Flu Facts To Consider:
The recent strain of swine flu, for example, is claimed to be new and different from any seen before. Unlike bird flu, or SARS, this virus attacks pigs, producing lung congestion that sometimes results in death (not always). Now, suddenly the virus began to spread to people who work with pigs and then it was observed to spread through the air from person to person. Within two weeks, over 1000 people in Mexico were hospitalized with Pig Flu and 60 deaths were reported within the first two weeks following April 13. Then the virus spread quickly to the US and England.
The number of deaths and people in hospitals are tracked daily on Internet sites. The Center for Disease Control provides a web site where statistics about flu cases are maintained and reported. See: http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/investigation.htm
On April 26, 2009 the US Department of Homeland Security declared Swine Flu to be a Public Health Emergency. Janet Napolitano immediately released 25% of the Federal stockpile for flu antiviral shots (50 million vials) to be used by federal authorities against the virus as may be needed. See her formal statements, photo, and early analysis – [ Click Here ] .
You will not catch Swine Flu from eating pork or pork products. It is spread through the air from pigs to people who can then spread it to other people primarily through the air. Face masks are being handed out by the Red Cross and other agencies for hospital visitors or for people working where they might be at risk.
MMS is a broad-spectrum germicidal agent, but it is quite different from antibiotics in its approach to the killing of viruses and bacteria. Persons who are curious about the germicidal properties of MMS can review a graphic brochure [ Here ] dealing with the oxidative chemistry properties of chlorine dioxide.
You can use MMS both as a preventative and as a remedy to overcome Swine Flu. The method is to take MMS on an hourly basis. See instructions below.
Suggested Procedure for Using MMS as a Flu Deterrent or Remedy:
1. In a cup or glass mix 1 drop of MMS with 5 drops of unfiltered vinegar or fresh lemon juice. Swirl and wait three minutes for activation to be completed.
2. .Add ½ glass of water or juice that does not have added ascorbic acid or vitamin C (Vitamin C prevents proper functions of this solution). Drink this whole amount as quickly as possible.
3. If you felt absolutely no change during this first hour, go ahead and go to 2 drops on the second hour. (Always use 5 drops of vinegar or lemon juice for each drop of MMS, and of course, the three minute wait) Go to 3 drops on the third hour if you have not felt any change in nausea) The nausea is not bad. It indicates that the MMS is killing pathogens. But do not cause yourself nausea by taking more. Over time increase to a maximum of 6 drops MMS with 30 drops of the acid. If you weigh over 200 pounds then 10 drops might be the maximum.
Keep in mind that most people will not go over 3 or 4 drops an hour before they begin to feel added nausea. Upon any sensation of nausea, they must reduce the number of drops by at least one drop. Nausea occurs when MMS is killing germs and viruses faster than your elimination system can handle the debris. There is no benefit in tolerating nausea.
4. Continue taking MMS each hour for 12 hours. The flu should be gone by the end of 12 hours; however, in any case, do not stop taking MMS until you are sure you have recovered. If you still feel flu symptoms the next day be sure to continue on the same hourly doses. Children can have the same treatment except be extra cautious to prevent nausea or sick feeling. Do this by using smaller doses. Increase by 1/2 drop each time and never go above 3 drops an hour.
5. Continue to take a six drop dose twice a day for the next week or two.
6. To prevent the flu and maintain you immune system in top condition take one 6 drop dose of MMS every day for adults and children should take a dose each day depending upon their age or size. Use 1 drop for each 25 pounds of body weight, and 1 drop for babies.
Educational information about MMS has been collected at this site where there are no marketing or purchase options. Click here: http://MMS-education.com
MMS can be purchased from various labs and MMS resellers, visible on the Internet search engines.
It remains to be seen if one or another flu strain will develop into a serious epidemic. A number of people die each year from influenza and other typical flu viruses but those events are rarely classified as an "epidemic" or health emergency. By the end of May 2009, the Center for Disease Control will have official statements about the severity of the virus.
Some researchers argue that there are risks associated with stockpiled flu vaccines.Most vaccines are preserved not only with mercury but also with aluminum – heavy metals that scientists claim are harmful to nerves, glands, and brains – long-term.
Vaccine critics argue that it is contradictory to state that Swine Flu is new, quite unlike any flu virus seen before, while at the same time promoting millions of stockpiled vaccine vials that were manufactured months or years prior to any given outbreak. If a new strand of virus is "new and different" then older vaccines will probably be useless. Numerous Internet articles expose the debate about vaccine effectiveness as is shown when searching for terms such as "vaccine risks."
Recent laws passed by Congress make the government immune from law suits if a government vaccine appears to cause harm or damage to one's health. This immunity applies even if you are forced to receive a shot by military or federal officials.
MMS is in daily use by at least 230,000 individuals since its public release in 2006. No one has died from its use – even when they mixed it backwards – or overdosed by mistake. If you read the articles at the MMS-Education site [ Here ] you will learn how MMS distinguishes accurately between normal living body cells and unwanted pathogens.
MMS is attracted to germs and viruses because it seeks to rip electrons out of the walls of pathogens, causing them to implode and die. Swine Flu viruses have electrons to give up and MMS will never know that this virus was a slightly different viral strain.

A report of hare coursing prompted a rapid response from officers at Boston and led to a number of arrests and seizures of dogs and vehicles.
The incident in Wrangle, Boston on 18 February was aggravated by the use of threats and violence by hare coursers who caused damage to a farmer's property and vehicle. Officers from Boston were soon on the scene and as the incident was on the north-east side of Boston, reinforcements arrived from Skegness too.
Police were able to successfully contain six offenders within a large area who were forced to abandon their vehicle and make off on foot. Officers worked as a team, keeping observations across the area to ensure the offenders could not escape.
The offenders entered a small section of trees and two were found, with the support of local farmers. They surrendered and the remaining four chose to flee on foot and were soon captured and arrested. Their vehicle and six lurcher dogs were also seized who were taken to an approved kennel.
The six men, aged between 18 and 42 were arrested for hare coursing offences, specifically trespass in the pursuit of game, and trespass near to a railway.
They have been released on bail pending further inquiries for the hare coursing offences.
This enforcement comes on top of two recent days of coordinated action to target hare coursing. On both days our officers joined forces with those from Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, East Midlands Operational Support Service (EMOpSS) and were supported by the RSPCA.
A day of action, also on 18 February, focused in the Deeping St Nicholas area. Three men were directed to leave the county warnings, a vehicle was seized and a driver dealt with for traffic offences.
A day of action in Deeping St James on Saturday, March 4, was organised following concerns from the local community. This resulted in two vehicles being seized and five people directed to leave the county under a Dispersal Order in relation to hare coursing.
Superintendent Mark Housley said: "We have received fantastic support in these cases which has been great to see – from local farmers on the first day of action and from officers from neighbouring forces this weekend.
"Support of this nature is key to our crackdown on hare coursing and we will continue to listen to communities and deploy our resources to problem areas.
"It is vital that incidents of hare coursing are reported to us and I'd like to thank those that have done so in these days of action. If you become aware of a case, please report it to us on 101 giving as much information as you can."

So I've been in the market for a new coffee table for a very long time. I've been using an old roommate's white wicker chest as a make-shift for almost 4 years. I repeat, four years! It was always thought of as temporary until I got my hands on a great coffee table.
Problem is, I could never put my finger on which style I craved: modern? antique? simple? weird? Just make a decision, already! Many meals are consumed on this couch and I just wanted a large, flat surface on which to set drinks, plates, condiments, what-have-you. I've had it with wobbly, tilty glasses and ketchup bottles!
Today I'm proud to announce that I've finally pulled the trigger. My only requirements: long, flat, and $30 or under. Say hello to this chunk of goodness:
Found on Craigslist (of course) for $25. Yesss! Now, I won't lie and tell you that I love this table, because I don't. But it masculines-up the living room, looks kinda cool and, most importantly, will allow Evan and me to watch Californication while gorging ourselves without fear of my wine glass toppling over due to faulty crevices. Ah, how much simpler life will be.

2011 Note: Unfortunately, the Cheverly Bike Club seems to have fallen by the wayside. For anyone interested, the domain name CheverlyBikeClub is available!
A friend of mine (and a Cheverly resident) started the Cheverly Bike Club several months ago with the following goals in mind:
This site was created as a result of a conversation between friends. We were trying to find ways to bike to work. While researching bike paths, safety tips, and various other biking information, I joked that we should start a bike club in Cheverly. This prompted us to buy the domain name CheverlyBikeClub.org. Our goal for this site is to provide a biking resource to the Cheverly community. This resource will provide tips on bike safety, bike routes in and around Cheverly, biking equipment reviews and suggestions, information on organized rides, and stories from the road.
For those of you with an interest in biking, visit the website — it's a fledgling club and could use some support from others who share the same interests.Now, for me, it's a little hot for bicycling right now. However, this is a great time to start planning for fall trips and events.
Meanwhile, I did a little searching and found a listing of Maryland cycling events at ohbike.com. The Bicycle Trails and Advisory Group has a meeting in October (yep, that far away) and then there is the Potomac Trail Council with all kinds of information on places to ride bikes and hike.

One's being redeveloped, the other torn down
Interior demo complete for future Spruce hotel
The interior demolition stage has been completed in the redevelopment of 105 N. Spruce St. into a Holiday Inn Express.
Greg Maxwell, whose G.A. Maxwell company is the general contractor on the project, said this week that reconstruction work "will get more amped" soon, with the schedule calling for the hotel to open by December.
Plans call for the hotel to have about 100 rooms.
The 2.44-acre property has a four-story building and a 300-space parking lot.
The demolition work was handled by Murphy Constructors, a Westside-based company, as a subcontractor to Maxwell. "The building is in real good shape," said the company's Kevin Murphy, who oversaw the work. Part of the demo included cutting out exterior walls so that big windows can be installed to allow views of the mountains or the downtown, he said.
From 1972 until 2011, the building was used by El Paso County government. It housed the county's Department of Human Services (DHS) offices.
But when the DHS moved to the new county location on Garden of the Gods Road, the county put the property on the market, and it was purchased last year by the Jarosz Family LTD Partnership, which also owns the Clarion Hotel a block away on Bijou Street.
According to Maxwell, the partnership consists of Ted and his wife Tammy Jarosz. Greg Maxwell is Tammy's brother.
Ted Jarosz has previously said he sought the property because of the building's solid construction and "good visibility."

I guide women through a five step system so they pay off their debt faster, save money and focus on other goals.
Are You Afraid Your Debt is Getting Out of Control?
One of the reasons that debt keeps increasing is due to interest rates. Do you realize how much is being added to credit cards and other debt with interest rates? It is incredible!
The 90 Day Turnaround, 90 Days to Financial Stability is a three month program where I will guide you to find lower interest rates so you can pay your debt off faster, save money and release some of the pressure being in debt is putting on you.
More importantly, I will get you on the path to realizing goals and dreams. Remember how you used to dream as a child? The future was limitless! Let's get that feeling back again and plan how you can achieve your goals - no matter how big or small.
Imagine how you will feel knowing that your debt is going down and you haven't had to make a lot of sacrifices. You will make some but you won't feel them after a short time.
Here's what my program is:
- One - Two hour in depth, one on one meeting either by Skype or telephone to go in depth on your financial situation
- Weekly one hour meetings to help you stay on track and set new goals.
- Unlimited email support. I will respond within two business unless there are circumstances beyond my control
- Opportunity to be involved in the creation of online courses
- Lifetime access to an ever growing library of eBooks.
- That's a $7,184 value but that's not what I charge. I charge less than a third of that. Only $2100 for a three month program!
- And how much is it worth to save hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of dollars in potential interest payments?
If this sounds like something you might be interested in then the next step is to book a 15 minute consultation with me. Go here and set up a time that works for both of us. During this call, we will see if you and I can work together and if I can help you.

Two More Red Dot Design Awards For Kia
By Arman Barari on Mar 15, 2012 with Comments 0
Kia wins another two red dot design awards, bringing the total up to six since the new design team led by Peter Schereyer took charge.
Kia has been awarded two top honours for its Picanto and Rio models in the 2012 red dot design competition. Kia's striking A-segment Picanto and B-segment Rio were both winners in red dot's internationally-acclaimed 'Product Design' category, in a competition that saw more than 4,500 products entered by 1,800 manufacturers from 58 countries.
This is only for Kia's European models. They also have some exclusive models for America as Forte and Koup. The Koup especially has been praised massively for its cool coupe looks. If it were offered in Europe the number of awards would have been significantly higher. Still, amazing results for Kia.
Kia press release:
These latest wins bring Kia's red dot awards total to six, with the Soul winning in 2009, Venga in 2010, and both Sportage and Optima claiming top spots in 2011. Optima was also named 'best of the best' in 2011 – the red dot competition's highest accolade for ground-breaking design, for which only the best products in each category are eligible.
"We are very proud of the red dot awards for the Picanto and the Rio," comments Kia's Chief Officer Peter Schreyer. "They are a great tribute to our entire global design team, because all three Kia design centres were involved in the development of both vehicles. I am particularly happy about this thoroughly creative and successful collaboration between our teams in Korea, Europe and America."
The red dot product design awards are one of the world's major design contests and have been held by the Design Centre of North Rhine-Westphalia since 1955. The 2012 awards will be presented to winners at a gala event at the Alvar Aalto-designed opera house in Essen, Germany, on July 2 2012.

Burg Eltz in Germany. It's not only big tourist draw, partly because it's off the beaten path and ingests a wee hike, but it's utterly alluring. The castle itself is gorgeous but still cozy, and it's nestled beside a sparkling stream among hills.
It could be said that British sufferers are probably essentially the most frequent visitors Spain. The next wind storm has to be a definite draw these. Spain promises warmth and sun kissed brown tans to all holiday firms. Deep snowfall and minus zero temperatures might winter weather in Britain very frosty and dismal. Instead they could be cosy all year long round under-inflated tires result in packing up and in order to their second house in spain.
If shopping is your thing, Nyc has some great inexpensive places to shop. We really enjoyed walking around Little Chinese suppliers. The shops offered us the power to buy both small and enormous souvenirs for everything our family.
Puli: this dog is extremely intelligent generally does extremely well in obedience trials. Its coat is corded and felt like, rather in comparison with rope like texture often seen various other breeds with similar coats. The Puli wants a lot of grooming quit the cords matting a number of owners in order to clip the coat short rather than take near the task of endless proper grooming. Originally a sheepdog from hungary queen, the Puli has been in for over 1000 numerous. They make faithful companions but perceive the family as a flock to protect, hence the will continue their distance from guests. This breed is not prone to any major body ailments.
Ask your travel agent if there are apartments, condos, or even home rentals available in the destination. You'll find tons of desperate owners presently now who will rent a flat or fine home for significantly less than you'd pay in a terrific hotel. Or check out Bed & Breakfasts: off season, you may pay less for extravagant lodging and gourmet breakfasts than you'd pay to your ho-hum vacation resort. If you have no choice, at least sign up for hotel loyalty programs that offer a free night after so many stays at their archipelago.
There is no doubt eating cooked garlic also has it's benefits so dont pass up that oppertunity. Just like everything though, moderation is the key, an excessive can lead to problems. It can thin your blood too much, cause stomache disorders, and indegestion, as well as other not so pleasnt techniques. start out wiyth 1/2 clove any day for 1 -2 weeks, then progess to Now not then 2 cloves daily except when sick, then you may double your does, just be certain to drink lots of water!

Last week has whizzed by in a sort of super blurry blur, and I feel as if I'm on some sort of exceptionally fast high speed train and I can't find any way to get off. Still, it's almost all good so can't complain.
On Monday we didn't go to our usual home-ed group meeting, preferring instead to have a baking, art, and reading day.
Tuesday was my favourite day of the week, as we headed off to spend a lovely few hours with friends. Pizzas and cakes were consumed, role playing games were acted out, a stroll to the beach was enjoyed, and various movies and music videos were watched. Taisia entertained everyone with her little ways, and I received a lesson in using Powerpoint, so it was a rather fruitful day.
Wednesday, again we missed home-ed group. I spent much of the day rearranging the dining room, sorting through our home-ed resources, and finding lots of things that have inspired me for future "schoolwork". The children played board games, including Monopoly and Game of Life, read books, watched a Viking documentary and helped me work out our finances.
We went to the library on Thursday, and new books were bought home. I always know not to plan anything for after our library visit as I seem to lose the children for a few hours whilst they pour over their new reads. This does give me time to spend with Taisia on a one-to-one basis though which she really does benefit from. She is coming on in leaps and bounds development wise. She can walk steadily (and is fiercely independent, frustratingly so). She often refuses to be carried when out and about now, instead preferring to take things at her own pace and wander aimlessly along. I have to keep reminding myself that the world is fresh and new, fascinatingly exciting to her and a wonderful learning experience. Not easy to do when I am desperate need for the loo or running late for an appointment. Vocabulary wise, Taisia amazes us everyday with new words. She picks things up incredibly easy, quickly mimicking back what is said to her - it means we have to watch what we say! Off the top of my head, words she uses frequently and in context include...
"Pwease" = Meaning please, as she reaches up for or points to what it is that takes her fancy.
"Batpan" = Thanks to Chelsea singing the Batman theme tune.
"Cookie" = When she wants the C is for Cookie song on.
"Chocochoc" = Chocolate.
"Jo Jo" = when calling Joseph.
"Harry" = This is said really clearly when talking about or calling our cat.
"Keer" = Short for Kira our dog.
"Baba" and "Baby"
"Whatisit?" = What is it? Sometimes said as "Whatsat?"
"Bye Bye"
"Up" = when wanting to be picked up or sit on the sofa.
"Pat Pat Pat" = as she's stroking the dog or cat.
"Pwetty" = Pretty.
She roars when she see's dinosaurs, lions or tigers, and miaows when she see's a cat. She "awwws" when she sees animals or baby's.
I've just had an appointment through for her developmental check and cancelled it. I see no point in wasting my time and that of the health visitor's when it's clear she has no issues with vision, eyesight, health, or development at this stage.
Thursday evening was spent with Tiegan and Chelsea heading off to the pantomime with Tiegan's Brownies. Taisia missed Chelsea so much, she wouldn't settle until she returned home again, then snuggled up with her to watch music videos on Chelsea's phone...
|Sisterly love.
Friday. I dyed Chelsea's hair red for her before the teens went to youth club in the evening. She wants it a much brighter red, but we did a basic red as a base coat. The day was spent writing stories, looking at what we needed to get for science experiments, and reading through some bird spotting literature. Joseph did more research into what he needs for a career in forensic science, whilst Chelsea starting researching contacts for the make up industry.
The weekend. Saturday we went to Torquay. We had a snack in one of the pubs, and bought new books. Chelsea got "Kiss, Date, Love, Hate" by Luisa Playa, whilst Tiegan bought "The Longest Whale Song", by Jacqueline Wilson. We also bought "War Horse" by Michael Morpugo, which will be next months chapter book. Tiegan and I went through a few ideas for lapbooks and project ideas, and Joseph read some of the British History book to Callum who has started to show a real interest in historic events.
On Sunday we stupidly decided to go to Trago Mills, which was over the top busy and not particularly pleasant to walk around. I did treat myself to a new knitting and crochet book, which will prove to be very useful I suspect, particularly when I'm creating new pieces for the nature table display or taking part in Season's swaps on the Greenparent forum.
Talking about crochet, do you know what I did at 3am this morning? I made these...
Now, don't look too closely as there are mistakes. I know it's not perfect. I know it's not anything special. I know that I'm bloomin' proud of myself. I know that I'm grinning from ear to ear as it feels as if I've made a breakthrough.
For pretty much 10 years, on and off, I have been desperately trying to teach myself how to crochet. I just didn't "get it". I couldn't see where the hook had to go in the chain, I couldn't see where the hook had to go to make a stitch, I just couldn't do it. Full stop. I'd tried learning from books, from magazines, from website tutorials, from watching people, and from the ol' trusty YouTube videos, but all to no avail, I had almost resigned myself to never being able to crochet which was horrid. There are so many utterly fabulous patterns out there that are crying out for me to make them.
In the early hours of this morning, it all fell into place. Why the change, I don't know, but all of a sudden I could clearly see each stitch and where the hook needed to go (this doesn't mean it always went in the right place mind you - hence the few mistakes!) So now dear readers, I can foresee my home becoming a haven of multi-coloured granny-ness, with crocheted blankets and throws, cushions, artwork, toys - the list goes on and on. Can you tell I'm just a teeny weeny inchy winchy bit utterly fantastically chuffed with myself?
I am.
In other utterly fabulous news, the giveaway is coming together nicely. I am awaiting to hear from a few companies I've contacted, but I am very happy to tell you that the very nice people over at Creative Steps magazine have offered a free year's subscription for the winner. The magazine is only available on subscription, and I was a little dubious as to whether it was good value for money. However, I have been sent a few copies to review, and wow, I really like it. I will write an in-depth review in the coming week when we have had chance to make some of items that are contained within it, but definitely on first impressions I'm loving it.
Tiegan has thoroughly enjoyed looking through and choosing what to make too, so much so it was done before she got dressed or had breakfast...
Watch out for more giveaway information coming soon....

text: Two films within the space of a year about the man behind Mondrian dresses and Le Smoking suggests Yves Saint Laurent was much more than a gifted fashion designer and a finger-on-the-pulse trendsetter. But neither Jalil Lespert's Yves Saint Laurent or this latest offering from Bertrand Bonello adequately explain the fascination with a man whose personal life, although far removed from the glamour of the catwalk, was not exceptional. Bonello's Saint Laurent, which has just been selected to represent France in next year's Acadamy Award's foreign language section, is a darker, more complicated, stylish film than Lespert's. He concentrates on Saint Laurent"s most productive and influential decades leaving aside his early years in Algeria and the time spent as an assistant to Christian Dior. His leading man is less shy and self-effacing and more a fragile, troubled, artist controlled by his one-time lover and business partner, Pierre Bergé.

Today I made a version of this particular recipe.
Serious Eats posts a Gluten Free recipe on Tuesdays very often.
Here is my version of the recipe from Serious Eats...
- For the Cake
- Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups Rice Flour Blend (rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch blend)
- 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- For the Icing
- 4 ounce butter, softened
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 5 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
Line 24 muffin cavities with paper liners.
Measure out all dry ingredients and mix together. Set aside.
In a separate bowl mix all wet ingredients together.
Using a whisk or an electric mixer add dry ingredients to wet and blend for about 2 minutes until all lumps are broken up and it is smooth.
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.
Bake cupcakes until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Remove from pans to cooling rack and let cool at least 30 minutes before frosting.
In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and butter. Cream until crumbly. Add milk and vanilla. Cream until smooth. Icing should be spreadable. If needed, add an additional 1/2 tablespoon milk. Spread icing on cooled cupcakes. Cupcakes can be stored for up to three days at room temperature or frozen for one month.
I easily got 24 cupcakes out of this recipe instead of the 20 specified in the original recipe. It was very moist and flavorful. I served them to a crowd that could not tell they were gluten free. Winning recipe indeed!
Here is the finished cupcake...

This way I will be sure that the photo will be sharp at from 2-3 feet in front of me till infinity. Have a read about hyperfocal distance.
Exposure time: 6.7 seconds
The sea water is silky because of the longer exposure time it took for this photo. Having the shutter opens for 6 seconds allow the camera to record the movement of water. Of course to achieve this, you'll need a tripod to keep the camera steady so that the only movement you'll be tracking is the movement of water (and possibly the movement of clouds). I placed my tripod in the water for this shot (Which is not a good thing to do because the sand will get into the joint and it takes a long long time to clean it @@).
I used a low ISO to keep noise out and to make sure that the quality of the photo is at it's best.
Focal length: 11mm
Just wanted to take it more details.
That's not all though. It was around 4-5pm when this photo was taken, and it was quite bright at the time. It would have been hard to get a 6 seconds exposure time at that condition so I used a ND8 (Neutral Density 8-stop) filter. This is basically a heavily 'shaded' filter which prevent light from entering and since less light were to enter I can use a longer exposure time to make the water silky.
Another important thing to keep in mind when taking landscape photos will be to have points of interest which directs the eyes of the viewer to explore the whole foreground and background of the photo. One can easily achieve this by placing something of interest in the foreground, midground and the background. In this photo I placed the rock in the foreground, and the tree trunk brings the eyes from the foreground to the midground and eventually towards the rocks and the island on the background. Of course, to be honest I didn't plan it out this way as what was on my mind when taking this photo was to keep the rock at the foreground. But this shot works because to its ability to draw the viewer's eyes throughout the whole photo.
It was a cloudy day so some white balance changes had to be done in post processing. Also… It was quite a hazy day by which I had to do a bit of 'burning' to darken the island in the background. I didn't bring my graduated filter and the highlights of the original photo was a bit washed out at the sky but since I took the photo in RAW, I managed to darken it and made the clouds more prominent.
All in all, I believe the photo turned out quite well.
Happy shooting ^^

omg that combination is divine! and the broach is perfect. have fun at snl!!! wouldnt it be awesome to have a job where there is an afterparty for everything you do?ReplyDelete
Eeep! This is adorable! I just put it on my Pinterest inspiration board. I bought a top that's somewhat similar to the one you're wearing at H&M on sale last spring and I'm waiting for colder weather to wear it...the bodice is like a sweater, but the sleeves are lace. My point is: I love the color and the lace!ReplyDelete
And yeah, ENFPs and INTJs are supposed to get along =D I think NFs and NTs generally understand each other well. It's funny that you and Jasen are both ENFPs because he LOVES to cook too. I mean, really loves it. I like it when I have the time, but he always finds the time, if you know what I mean.
Your weekend plans sound fabulous! I hope you get into the SNL after party. My friend Natasha is throwing a birthday party for me tomorrow at her place in Santa Monica, so that should be pretty fun!
I love this top. I want like...ten just like it. Also, I think you should really go for the fork and knife tattoos. You'd be the coolest person in America. And wouldn't that be something?ReplyDelete
your dress is super cute AND you get to see radiohead? not too shabby. :)ReplyDelete
Love that first photo so much and the hair/outfit is amazing! SNL!! Sounds like you'll be having so much fun!ReplyDelete

Oh wow, you look spectacular! I've been dreaming of a dress like that (with multi-coloured scallop layers), and here it is! Or at least a sneaky way of making it happen :)ReplyDelete
Your style is incredible.
Have a magical time xx
The dress is amazing - I love the detailing on the bottom so much)ReplyDelete
I also really like your new hairstylre - when I just started following you, your hair was dark and a bit longer, and I loved that look. Now it's so different, but really beautiful too <3
sunny colors despite rain is my motto!ReplyDelete
love the scalloping on that dress, and the way it goes with that top - ridiculously perfect. and your hair! so good. sooo gooodd.
oh my god you are amazing and so is that dress!ReplyDelete
These two pieces look great together and your hair is still awesome. A wedding and SNL in one weekend? Sounds like loads of fun :)ReplyDelete
I love your new cut and colour! Totally rad. I actually chopped off all of my beautiful long curls recently, and now I'd like it coloured, too. If you go for new look, you'd better be thourough, right? I wish I could find a salon as great as yours, it's so rare to find dedicated hairdressers.ReplyDelete
Love the layering of the scallops, looks so good!ReplyDelete
Ooo, really love those two colors (and items) together! And, they look great on you. Bon weekend!ReplyDelete
A Glossy Giveaway
Oh I love bringing sunshine in my clothes when the weather is not cooperating.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous layering! Love the dress detail.ReplyDelete
Marie @ Lemondrop ViNtAge
what a gorgeous dress and I absolutely love that first photo. Really cute blog!ReplyDelete
Oh my, I've missed so much! Love the blonde, it looks amaaazing! And I saw SNL last week, but to be able to be in the studio audience?! I hope you got to the after party, Alec Baldwin hosting SNL is the best, although it competes with Steve Martin. Love the scallops and lace, I need to get me some of those!!ReplyDelete
I just might be obsessed with this outfit. The colors are SO good, and the lacy, scallopy thing is so cute.ReplyDelete
Just. Wow.
This FLOORED me! What fun! I've loved so many of your creative ensembles but this one takes the cake (or will be making it at least... har. har... I think the internets should not let me comment when I'm sleep deprived). Anyways, back to the outfit... it embodies femininity, fun, glamour. I would stop you on the street and make you twirl if we were strangers.
Aaaand I can't move on to the next/previous post without noting the adorableness of your hair. 10 out of 10.
So - you are perfect and so is this outfit. AMAZE!ReplyDelete

By James Witherspoon
It is not unusual for a dog or cat to occasionally shake or tremble. This behavior usually occurs on a normal basis when the pet is enduring a behavior which makes it uncomfortable and anxious such as going to the vet or being bathed. But the shivering should cease after the anxiety provoking experience is over. It is only when a dog or cat has long bouts of shaking or trembling for no apparent reason that it may be necessary for the animal to be checked out by a veterinarian.
Shaking can be a sign of a number of issues in dogs and cats. It is very difficult to know when the behavior is something to worry about and when it is nothing, but it is always better to be safe than sorry so if a pet is shaking when there is no obvious anxiety trigger, it should be taken to the vet.
The Main Causes of Shaking and Trembling in Pets
There are a number of things that shaking can indicate. Some of the more common issues that shaking may be a result of include:
Hypoglycemia-hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. This is perhaps the top cause of shivering or trembling in dogs and cats and occurs when the animal has gone for an extended period without food.
Metabolic abnormalities-digestive upset such as vomiting can result in shaking.
Elevated body temperatures-shaking can be a sign of a serious fever in a pet. If the pet is also sleeping on the bathroom floor or other cool surfaces, there is an additional call for worry.
Small dogs and cats often shake routinely for no evident reason.
To find out more about shaking and shivering in dogs and cats, visit the website of your Austin Vet Clinic today.

Projects finished in 2011
Finished tops, waiting to be quilted
Works in Progress
from left to right:
Joseph's coat quilt along
Tessellation quilt
Hexagon quilt
Blogger's BOM
scrap quilt
I hope to have above quilts finished by the same time next year! I just need determination and willpower not to start too many projects along the way.
There are a few more but I wouldn't call them "works in progress" as I haven't worked on them in a long time. Maybe they should be called "works abandoned".
Wishing you all a wonderful and happy New Year ahead with hopefully lots of inspiration as well as lots of time to stitch.

This thesis has as its central aim to explain, discuss, and defend a particular theory of possible worlds - modal realism. This aim is approached in a number of stages. In Part One I start by introducing the notion of possible worlds, placing it in an historical context (from Leibniz to the present day), and looking briefly at its usefulness for philosophy. Secondly, I review the main rival approaches to possible-worlds metaphysics, including modal and non-modal actualism, deflationism, and realism. Thirdly, I look briefly at an alternative to possible worlds put forward by writers such as Humberstone and Edgington - possible situations.
In the first two chapters in Part Two I deal with the questions of trans-world identity and of impossibilia. These questions have implications for virtually all possible-worlds theorists. I then go on to examine the most important arguments against modal realism, attempting to defend against them or, where this is not possible, to suggest amendments of Lewis s current version of his theory.
I conclude by finding modal realism to be the best available possible-worlds theory, able to withstand most of the main attacks upon it, and to evade the remainder by means of relatively minor alterations. Nevertheless, I cannot deny or overcome the genuine worries that lie behind what Lewis has called 'the Incredulous Stare', and I end by suggesting that those who feel this incredulity should perhaps react by searching for an alternative, not merely to modal realism, but to the very use of the notion of possible worlds.

Activists attracted attention in August when about 50 students converged in the south to support factory workers.
At least 12 Chinese labour activists went missing in recent days in what is suspected to be a coordinated effort to silence the vocal group, mostly university students or recent graduates.
Authorities took away at least nine activists in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen late on Friday, and three more activists were taken away on Sunday in the city of Wuhan, sources told Reuters news agency.
The Ministry of Public Security, which oversees police forces across the country, did not respond to a request for comment.
The detentions appear to be the latest action by the authorities against a small but growing movement driven by students and graduates of some top universities who have said they are motivated by the principles of Marxism.
The ruling Communist Party, which espouses Marxism as one of its leading ideologies, opposes any form of activism or organisation that has the potential to slip beyond its control.
At least five graduates of Peking University, one of the country's top universities, were among those picked up on Friday, student activists said.
'Settle the score'
Last month, Cornell University in the United States ceased cooperation in two exchange programmes with Renmin University, another prominent institution in Beijing, after students there were punished for supporting labour rights.
The young activists attracted attention from authorities in August when about 50 students from across China converged in the south to support factory workers at Jasic International, a welding machinery firm, seeking to form a union.
Later that month, police in riot gear stormed an apartment in the city of Huizhou where the students were staying, detaining some of them.
"I think the authorities have decided now is the right time to settle the score," one student activist at a university in Beijing said.
"The authorities want to shut down the Jasic Workers Support Group in one fell swoop. Why else would they suddenly conduct raids of such a large scale and arrest so many people at once?" the student added, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Bundled away
On Friday, unidentified men grabbed Zhang Shengye, a recent Peking University graduate, on the university's campus at around 10:30pm and bundled him into a car, according to a witness and screenshots of posts, apparently written by students, on the university's internal messaging board. The posts were later deleted.
A video circulated on social media by a Peking University student who said he was at the scene and who described what happened to Zhang.
"I heard one of them yell 'that's him, shove him into the car', and then I saw three to five people grab a student and bundle him into a car," the student said in the video.
He said he and other students who were nearby were pushed to the ground and prevented from leaving until they deleted any photos or videos of the scene.
A Peking University spokesman confirmed someone had been detained but said the incident did not involve teachers or students.
"Public security organs, in accordance with law, seized non-campus affiliated persons suspected of committing a crime," the spokesman said.
Zhang had been in southern China in August to protest against the treatment of the Jasic factory workers and had been involved in a wide range of social issues on campus.
"We aren't solely focused on one particular issue. We're interested in improving society in all kinds of ways, whether it is improving the lives of factory workers, fighting for gender equality or advocating for environmental sustainability," Zhang said in August.

- 2 ¾ c flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ c Earth Balance Non-Hydrogenated Spread
- 2 ¼ c vegan granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp Ener G Egg Replacer
- ¾ c water
- 1 c soymilk
- 1 ½ tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tsp lemon extract
- ½ c plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Oil and flour a bundt pan, set aside. In a small bowl, combine the egg replacer and water, mix until frothy, set aside. In another small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a medium-sized bowl, cream the Earth Balance and 1 ¾ cups of the sugar. Add the equivalent of 1/6 of the egg replacer-water mixture at a time to the creamed Earth Balance and sugar, mixing well after each "1/6" addition. Add the flour mixture alternating with the soymilk--start and end with the flour. Mix, or stir well after each addition of the soymilk (before you add the next bit of flour). Once the flour and soymilk have been mixed, add the lemon zest, lemon extract, and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Stir well. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 1 ½ hours, or until toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from oven, let sit in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto cooling rack with a plate or pan underneath (because you'll be pouring hot liquid over the cake, and you probably don't want a sticky mess on your counter). Poke holes with toothpick all over the top of the cake and let cool for a while longer.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, boil the ½ cup lemon juice and remaining sugar over medium heat, and stir until sugar dissolves. Pour this "syrup" over the cake. Ok, it's done. This cake will stay yummy, covered, for 5 days, (I'm almost certain it won't last that long) or thereabouts. I think you'll love this cake too. Enjoy, and thanks for choosing Vegan--it's better for you and our precious planet!

Tesco chief Philip Clarke could face drama at this morning's AGM due to recent lack of progress made and executives quitting the supermarket.
But it is widely expected he will be given more time by shareholders to improve the businesses fortunes.
Clarke recently commented that it will take at least three years for his turnaround plan – largely compromised of sharper price cutting and revamped stores – to improve its vital UK business.
Chief market strategist at CityIndex, Joshua Raymond commented on Twitter: "Clarke & board votes expected to go fine but expect some drama given the lack of turnaround progress & exec abandonment."
Former Tesco boss Lord MacLaurin told the Independent this week that Mr Clarke was struggling but blamed former boss Sir Terry Leahy for the current failures.
"When Terry left Tesco he had left a US business that was wasting huge amounts of money and an underinvested UK business. Of course, it is going to be tough for Philip. I know from experience how long it takes to turn the business around."
Clarke is a Tesco lifer who rose through the ranks, beginning with his first job as store manager in Liverpool 40 years ago.
Revenue was flat in the UK last year but grew in Asia, while profit in its banking arms grew 1.6 per cent. But UK profit fell 3.6 per cent in the worst year for the company for 40 years.
Retail experts CACI found that Tesco is still a leader in 69 of 118 UK postal areas but is under pressure in a third. The second placed retailer is less than 5 per cent behind. This position is considerably weaker than Tesco's leadership in 87 postcode areas in 2008.
Meanwhile, German discounter Lidl, who is squeezing Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury's has unveiled a £220m UK expansion drive as it invests in new shops, its fresh food offer and an extra 2,500 staff.

Something about this house has me buzzing. It is in such a vintage, original state. We both walk around from room to room talking about the place. It feels a little bit like the house I grew up in, (probably the colours) and the Mr says it reminds him of being at his grandparents. Ive been getting up as soon as im awake these last few days to sew or cut out to try to organise things back to a sense of normal. This is the scene of today.
Everyone else was still sleeping so even the idea of putting dishes away was too noisy. I left them sitting and instead placed the machine on the table outside, for another day of sewing in the garden. Realising now ive been sewing outdoors for almost a week.
These are part of my shop update today. Im hoping to squeeze one more thing in before the light fades.

A storm has been brewing among ecologically-aware crocheters across America, who have joined forces to create a hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef.
Initiated at the Institute for Figuring, this collaborative work is designed to draw attention to the Australian Great Barrier Reef's demise as a result of rising sea temperatures and pollution. So far, the exhibit spans 3000 square metres, including undulating corals, ruffled sponges, kelps and slugs, and is still growing. Scientists have warned that the current threat from global warming and pollutants could lead to the Reef's destruction within 30 years - so urgent action is needed. Started in Los Angeles by sisters Margaret and Christine Wertheim, the project has spread across America, involving crocheting groups, scientists, mathematicians and artists. It has been found that the hyperbolic coral forms represent a natural manifestation of non-Euclidian geometry, thought until recently to exist only as an abstract concept. In this way, the 'conceptual enchantment' of the project weaves together craft, science and the environment.

My sister-in-law made me a reindeer pin from a baby bottle nipple. The tip was painted red like rudolph's nose and the antlers were chenille stems, and it had wiggle eyes. I lost mine and would like a pattern to make these, has anyone seen these on the web?
Kaye from Alabama
Hi I seen these years ago and actually have one put up in my decorations. Here is where I found the instructions to make one....no pic tho...hope this helps.
I have made these for years. However, because they are reindeer ~ I always use brown nipples. I use real deer colors ex. Brown pipe cleaners for antlers, wiggly eyes, tiny red pom pom for nose. I wrap the pipe cleaner around the base of nipple, and bring the ends up over the head and shape.
We're having a Thanksgiving and Baby Shower this year at the same party. Does anyone have an idea how to make a turkey decoration out of a baby bottle?

Evan Metropoulos, son of billionaire investor C. Dean Metropoulos, has listed his penthouse atop the Sierra Towers building in West Hollywood for sale at $58 million.
The Metropoulos family are no strangers to big-ticket items in real estate. Last year, Evan Metropoulos bought late actor Danny Thomas' onetime knoll-top estate in Beverly Hills for $65 million. His brother, Darren, is the owner of the Playboy Mansion.
The condo for sale comprises two units on the 32nd floor that Metropoulos combined. It has 7,000 square feet of open-plan space plus terrace balconies totaling another 4,000 square feet. Walls of windows serve up views from downtown to the ocean.
The unfinished living spaces sit under 16-foot ceilings.
In addition, the home comes with a guest suite on the sixth floor and six parking spaces.
Sierra Towers was built in 1965 by architect Jack Charney. Its amenities include 24-hour security, valet parking and a pool.
Jade Mills of Coldwell Banker Residential and Josh Greer of Hilton and Hyland hold the listing.

National Energy Guarantee Final Detailed Design - Commonwealth Elements
Publication date: Wednesday, 01st August 2018.
The Commonwealth Government has prepared a final detailed design document on the elements of the National Energy Guarantee that are its responsibility. These include the mechanics of setting and changing the emissions reduction target, the design of the emissions-intensive trade-exposed activity exemption process and the use of offsets.
The National Energy Guarantee Final Detailed Design – Commonwealth Elements can be found below.
The final design follows from the consultation process on the Commonwealth's Draft Detailed Design for Consultation - Commonwealth Elements paper, released on 15 June 2018. The consultation period has now closed.
The Commonwealth received over 70 submissions in response to the June 2018 consultation paper.
This paper sits alongside the Energy Security Board's Final Detailed Design paper.
Next steps
The Energy Security Board's final design of the Guarantee will be presented to the COAG Energy Council for its final determination at the August 2018 meeting of the Council.
Should the Council agree to adopt the Guarantee, the Energy Security Board intend to release an exposure draft of the National Electricity Law legislative amendments for public consultation.
The Commonwealth Government intends to introduce its supporting Commonwealth legislation into Parliament before the end of the year.
