About the coordination project 2017-2017: here
DESIS Network originates from three main international activities in the 2006-2008 period: the European research EMUDE, 2005; the UNEP Program CCSL, 2008 and the international conference "Changing the Change, within the framework of Torino World Design Capital, 2008.
In different ways, these activities introduced the notions of creative community and social innovation in several design schools worldwide and created favourable conditions to start an international network on these topics.
The main ideas behind it were that social innovation could be a powerful driver towards sustainability and that design schools could help in supporting and accelerating the process. In 2009, this network took the name of DESIS: Design for Social Innovation towards Sustainability. In the 2009-2011 period, DESIS spread in several regions of the world, establishing partnerships with other entities and evolving towards a network of Design Labs based in design schools and in other design-oriented universities and operating with local, regional and global partners to promote and support social change towards sustainability."
Within this worldwide framework, some DESIS Labs located in the same area decided to connect and coordinate with each other to discuss regional specificities and develop regional programs (UK, Asia).
Since September 2014, DESIS is a no-profit and cultural association, with the purpose to promote design for social innovation in higher education institutions with design discipline so as to generate useful design knowledge and to create meaningful social changes in collaboration with other stakeholders.
In the complexity of contemporarysociety, social innovation is spreadingand its potential, as a driver of sustainable change, is increasing. To facilitate this process, the design community, in general, and design schools, in particular, can play a pivotal role.
Social innovation is a new idea that works in meeting social goals" (Mulgan, 2006). In other words, social innovation can be seen as a process of change emerging from the creative re-combination of existing assets (social capital, historical heritage traditional craftsmanship, accessible advanced technology) and aiming at achieving socially recognized goals in new ways. A kind of innovation driven by social demands rather than by the market and/or autonomous techno-scientific research, and generated more by the actors involved than by specialists.
Over the past decade social innovation has spread: a variety of social actors throughout the world (institutions, enterprises, non-profit organizations and, most of all, networks of collaborative people) have moved outside mainstream models of thinking and doing, generating a variety of promising initiatives such as community-supported agriculture,
co-housing, carpooling, community gardens, neighbourhood care, talent exchange and time banks. These initiatives propose viable solutions to complex problems of the present (e.g., social cohesion, urban regeneration, healthy food accessibility, water and sustainable energy management) and, at the same time, they represent working prototypes of sustainable ways of living.
Today, social innovation is generating a constellation of small initiatives. Nevertheless, if favourable conditions are created, these small, local social inventions and their working prototypes can spread. They can be scaled-up, consolidated, replicated and integrated with larger programs to generate large-scale sustainable changes. To do that, new design competences are needed. Indeed, social innovation processes require visions, strategies and co-design tools to move from ideas to mature solutions and viable programs. . That is, they ask for new design capabilities that, as a whole, can be defined as design for social innovation.
Design for social innovation can find in the design schools a major driver for its application and diffusion. In fact, design schools (and, more in general, all the design-oriented universities) can orient their didactic and research activities towards social innovation. That is, they can become design laboratories where new visions are generated, new tools are defined and tested and where new projects are started and supported. If a worldwide movement towards sustainability calls for the best possible use of all existing resources, design schools, with all their potential in terms of students' enthusiasm and faculty experience, should be considered a very promising social resource: a potentially powerful promoter of sustainable change.
DESIS Network aims at using design thinking and design knowledge to co-create, with local, regional and global partners, socially relevant scenarios, solutions and communication programs.
in open, collaborative interactions with local communities and other involved actors.
DESIS Network's most ambitious aim is to promote a broad and flexible design program. A design program where several local, regional and global projects may converge, reinforce each other and generate innovative scenarios and solutions. Our desire is to produce knowledge with the contribution of different partners (open processes) and that can be
used by all stakeholders (open results). In short the DESIS Network's higher ambition is to generate an Open Design Program able to give different projects visibility, to facilitate their alignments, collaborations and synergies and, on these bases, to develop visions and proposals adequate to the great challenges of contemporary society.
At the Assembly "non Member Partners" (Universities non Members and other legal entities non Members)can be invited , without right to vote, interested to the activities of the Association.
DESIS NETWORK operates as a constellation of Labs and Lab-Initiatives, supported by a Platform. Each one of these Labs belongs to its own University and has organizational and administrative autonomy with respect to the Association.
The overall political, cultural and organizational direction of DESIS NETWORK is given by the Assembly that approves the Annual Program planned by the International Coordinator (with the International Coordination Committee and the Platform Team) and the President.
The International Coordinator (with the International Coordination Committee and the Platform Team) and the President put into effects the approved Program.
Each Member indicates, for one or more years, a Lab Coordinator that will be representative of the Member in the annual Assembly.
DESIS Labs are administratively and economically autonomous entities: each one of them has its own budget and is administrated by the higher educational institutions where that Lab is based.
DESIS Initiatives are the actions that results from specific written agreement between two or more Members. In this agreement every administratively and economically outstanding (budget/obligations granted by the involved higher education institutions with design discipline and the managers of the agreement) aspects will be stated.
The DESIS Platform is managed and the costs covered, as part of the IC's Program. It has the same administrative and economic structure of a DESIS Initiative.
All the DESIS governance roles are pro bono. The only remunerated activities, by each Member or by each DESIS Initiative if it is the case, are the ones performed by the Platform Team in the economic framework of the principle of Association said at art. 2, "The Association doesn't have own funds because each Member bears own expenses in the area of the Association and no common expenses for the Association will be taken".
Private or public higher education institutions, sharing the DESIS vision and rules, can support specific projects (administrated by a DESIS Lab or a DESIS Initiative) and become DESIS Members.
The outcomes of this association, that is of the DESIS activities, are public, open source and will belong to Creative commons "Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC 3.0)" license, save in duly justified exceptional cases.

The Route
This bike highway connects Delft with Rotterdam, mostly following the old main road between the two cities before the A13 motorway was constructed. It begins near the TU Delft campus on the south side of Delft and follows Rotterdamseweg. It stays parallel with the road as a two way cycle track and also follows the course of the Delftse Schie canal for almost 5 km.
Approximately halfway to Rotterdam, the cycle track ends and the bike highway follows Rotterdamseweg (which later becomes Delftweg) as a bike boulevard through the village of Zweth. Once outside of Zweth, the bike boulevard becomes a road with advisory bike lanes for a little over 300 m, before becoming a two way cycle track once again. The cycle track stays parallel with Delftweg and the Delftse Schie canal for another 1.3 km before once again becoming a road with advisory bike lanes. These advisory lanes continue for another 1.2 km, terminating at the bridge entering the village of Overschie. Through this village, the bike highway is a bike boulevard, before turning onto Delfshavensweg as a bike boulevard. This concurrency only continues for about 200 m before the bike highway transitions to a fully separated bike path. The path runs parallel to Delfshavense Schie canal, passing under Rotterdam's ring road. A bridge was added across the Schie-Schiekanaal to complete the link between Delft and Rotterdam. Aelbrechtskade joins the bike highway, and the highway is concurrent with the road as a cycle track. As it gets closer to the center of the city, signalized crossings occur at Nieuwe Binnenweg, Heemraadssingel/Pieter de Hoochbrug, and both direction of the S114 road. The highway finally follows a short concurrency with the S103 highway to the Maastunnel before terminating near the Euromast in downtown Rotterdam.
Route Description
The highway takes every effort to minimize stops for cyclists by prioritizing bikes at most crossings, or isolating bikes from crossings altogether. The highway has priority at every intersection in Delft. The first large road the highway intersects is the N470 on the south side of Delft, which is avoided by a grade separated crossing by crossing over the bike highway and canal. This bike highway can be divided into two sections: rural and urban stretches.
The rural stretch follows Rotterdamseweg/Delftweg to Overschie while the urban section follows Delfshavensche Schie from Overschie to Rotterdam (see map above). Throughout the course of the rural stretch, the highway is a cycle track along the canal and Rotterdamseweg. The highway is paved with smooth asphalt, rather than brick, which balances comfort with the ability to gain high speed. The fact that only a few streets with very little traffic intersect the bike highway compounds this ability to reach high speed on long, uninterrupted stretches. Even at these infrequent crossings, the bikes get priority. Along the rural section, the bike highway is not directly lit, but gets indirect light from the streetlights along Rotterdamseweg. In the villages of Zweth and Overschie, the tracks end and the bikes are integrated on the local streets as bike boulevards.To alert both cars and bikes that they are approaching towns, the road surface changes to brick and the speed limit drops, making it suitable for bikes and cars to share the road. Between the villages, advisory bike lanes are used. There may have been enough room to maintain the cycle track, but the lanes may have been added along with the brick road surface to keep cars slow not only in the villages, but between the villages and encourage high speed travel on the A13 motorway.
Once the bike highway turns off Overschieseweg/Delftweg, it enters the urban stretch of its route. The path now is lined with streetlights and the area becomes more built up and urbanized. For the rest of its route to the Euromast, the bike highway is a fully separated cycle track. The roads in Rotterdam are wider than the roads in Delft as well as Delftweg, with higher traffic counts. The cycle track keeps cyclists safe and makes it easier to give them priority at intersections, as they have their own right of way/ path. The track was also placed on the canal side of Aelbrechtskade to minimize the opportunities for cars and bikes to intersect. This not only keeps bicycles safer, but allows for less interruptions to the route, which allows bikes to go faster over longer distances. The bridge over Schie-Schiekanaal is an important link in the bike highway, as it is the most direct link between Delft and Rotterdam. If this bridge was not built, cyclists would have to take a detour towards Rotterdam and Overschie, needing to find ways around the A20 and possibly A13 motorways. This bridge is the link that completes the 14 km route between Delft and Rotterdam.
Length: 14,3 km (I rode the entire length)
Number of Stoplights and Yield Points: 3 stoplights with 4 additional yield points
Number of Grade Separated Crossings: 7 (Only including roads, no railroad tracks or canals)
% with Smooth Fast Surface: 13,44 km – 94,0% (All asphalt, on bike path and advisory lanes, towns had road surfaces made of brick)
% standalone bike path: 11,5 km (13,3%), beginning at Overschie and continuing towards Rotterdam
% cycle track: 9,6 km (67,1%), mostly along Rotterdamseweg/Delftweg, Aelbrechskade, and Rochussenstraat,
% lighting:4,17 km (29,1%), only includes direct lighting, almost the entire path had lights along the parallel roads, but only this percentage had lights specifically for the path
Ease of Travel
For the most part, the bike highway was well marked and easy to follow. Along Rotterdamseweg, there were minimal bike specific markings. The highway followed that route from Delft to Overschie with very few cross streets. As a result, it was unnecessary to have many signs marking direction as Rotterdamseweg was the only street to follow. The one intersection that did require signage was an intersection with another bike path just north of Zweth. At the intersection, the sign is very clear about what destinations are in which direction and their respective distances. It gives an extensive representation of your location and how far you are from the next town(s). At certain intersections (including this one), there were also maps to show your location in relation to the path system as a whole. While the northern part of the path was well marked and was easy to find the route's continuation, the turn at Overschie had no signage for the bike highway's route continuation.
There was a sign directing cyclists to certain destinations, but gave no indication of which path to follow or how long to follow it to get to the center of Rotterdam. I looked up this turn on Google Maps in advance, as other people had told me about the risk of missing this turn and as a result, did not get lost. However, this lack of direction would be problematic to other cyclists who did not know the directions. In addition, this turn is not only unmarked but also misleading.The road that continues straight over the drawbridge (see picture) is visibly wider than the correct route, giving cyclists a possible assumption that the correct route is straight rather than left. Once on the urban section, finding the end is much easier and again does not need signs. The bike highway is known to end at the Maastunnel which is at the base of the Euromast. Since this is a tall landmark tower, following the highway eventually becomes visual.
Non Transportation Elements
This bicycle highway was planned along an intentionally scenic route and quiet street to minimize the stress while riding. Rotterdamseweg had traffic meters to limit the amount of cars that travelled along certain stretches in certain windows of time. This made the street much quieter and more pleasant to ride, as cars were dissuaded from taking this route instead of the motorway. This route also had few houses or businesses due to the abundance of farmland on one side of the road and a canal on the other. South of Zweth, trees were added to isolate the bike highway from Delftweg and to further quiet the path. Closer to Rotterdam, the surroundings were more heavily urbanized, but the cycle track was still isolated from the adjacent commotion. It was placed next to the canal to not only minimize crossings from side streets, but to create a more scenic atmosphere, along with the intermittent green space and strategically planted trees to create a green oasis in the center of the city.
The Rotterdam-Delft bike superhighway is an ideal link to connect two important cities in the Rotterdam-Den Haag Metropolitan Area. Most of the route is well marked and provides clear direction between Delft and Rotterdam. The route is also smooth and relatively straight, with few crossings or interruptions, giving cyclists a chance to gain higher speed and waste less energy getting back up to speed. Overall, this 14 km bike highway is a suitable, free alternative to taking the train between the two cities if a cyclists has the time.

Expecting? 13 Reasons to Consider Maternity Reflexology During Your Pregnancy
Being pregnant is a physically demanding time as your body works, grows and expands to create the new life inside of you. Some even say that every day you are pregnant, your body does the work equivalent to running a marathon... on top of your other daily responsibilities. Now, more so than ever before in your life, it is pertinent to take the best care of yourself as possible, for your baby's sake, as well as to prevent any post-partum complications.
Thankfully, there is an all natural, drug-free tool to help you through the challenges pregnancy brings. Even better? This tool has even been proven to drastically reduce labor times. Maternity Reflexology is excellent in helping you deal with the ups and downs you face through your pregnancy.
During Pregnancy, reflexology has been proven effective to:
1. Prevent and decrease severity of morning sickness
2. Reduce Edema (swelling of the feet and ankles)
3. Help lower high blood pressure
4. Reduce back, hip and leg pain
5. Control mood swings
6. Prevent and reduce the severity of heartburn
7. Reduce breast tenderness
8. Drastically reduce labor times, with regular sessions received throughout pregnancy
9. Prevent insomnia caused by anxiety, pain and discomfort
10. Reduce cravings and food aversions
11. Increase success rates of having a natural, drug-free labor
12. Promote relaxation and a general sense of wellbeing
13. Prevent and reduce the severity of constipation
As well, many women report that their Maternity Reflexology sessions help to put them in touch, and keep them in tune, with their changing bodies and their baby. Plus, it just feels good. And you deserve a treat! Regular sessions are recommended - ideally once a week - but let's face it, time and money are of the essence. You will reap the same benefits with sessions once or twice a month.
It is important to note that you seek out a certified Maternity Reflexologist, or let your regular practitioner know that you are pregnant. Some practitioners will not preform reflexology on a woman in her first trimester. Phone around and ask a lot of questions to find the right practitioner for you.

I know one on another forum who actually tried to 'gotcha' me by not only saying they'd seen it, but daring me to name any other character traits she had.Doesn't this presume they actually saw the work and thought about it? Because given the review bombing I'm inclined to think they didn't and are just trying to spread hate.
People ripped 'em apart but this person claimed to have both seen the movie and felt confident enough to challenge others on a SF forum over it.
This person I do think was just so up themselves that they didn't let themselves see anything they didn't want to and missed a darn good movie they would've enjoyed if it weren't for their hang ups.

This was a fun project to upgrade the tool post and compound of a little h harbor freight 7x10 mini lathe I snagged on Craig's list for $100. When purchased it was missing the change gear, reverse Chuck Jaws, tools and a few other minor components. However this was fine for my application because this little lathe is slated for a CNC conversion and some chassis upgrades to stiffen up the movements to cut small parts in stainless steel for business. Should be a great value for second operations that doesn't take up any more space than a tool box in the shop!
Follow along as the little projects come together to become a working machine! Hope you enjoyed this build!

Congratulations to these two dumbasses for potentially ruining the rest of their lives with a criminal record because, as members of the Lizard Squad and PoodleCorp, they thought it would be fun to launch DDoS attacks against Xbox Live, PSN and Battle.net. Your parents must be proud.
ZACHARY BUCHTA, 19, of Fallston, Md., and BRADLEY JAN WILLEM VAN ROOY, 19, of Leiden, the Netherlands, are charged with conspiring to cause damage to protected computers. The charges are the result of an international investigation into the computer hacking groups "Lizard Squad" and "PoodleCorp," according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago. Buchta and van Rooy allegedly conspired with others to launch destructive cyber attacks around the world, and trafficked payment accounts that had been stolen from unsuspecting victims in Illinois and elsewhere.

Company Overview
Agrimin Limited is a Western Australian based minerals company and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX: AMN). Agrimin has 100% ownership of the large-scale Mackay Sulphate of Potash (SOP) Project located in Western Australia.
Agrimin's strategic focus on SOP is motivated by excellent market fundamentals which are supportive for the creation of a new large-scale SOP producer. Growth in demand for fertilizers, including SOP, is forecast to be driven by the world's need to feed growing populations from shrinking arable land resulting in the need to improve agricultural yields. Accordingly, Agrimin expects that SOP deposits throughout Western Australia will become an important source to meet increasing world demand.
The Mackay SOP Project is situated on a Western Australian salt lake and spans 3,383 square kilometers. The Project contains the world's largest known Mineral Resources of brine-hosted SOP and the deposit only extends to an average depth of only 24.7 meters. In May 2018, Agrimin reported the results of a positive Pre-Feasibility Study.
Agrimin has a strong working relationship with traditional land owners and the Company believes the Mackay Project can create greatly improved community and employment opportunities for the Aboriginal people of local communities.

Here are the first of my images of KBIS 2007! Images are from the Perlick, Gaggenau, Blanco, and Thermador booths. I have access to pretty pictures from press kits, but you know, sometimes I just like the "live from the floor" feeling of the images, so I'll include both types of images.
Also, in this first kbis 2007 flikr set is Thermador's fabulous booth. I'll talk more about Thermador's introductions soon, but for now, enjoy.
Now, hear a podcast of the new sink introductions from the Blanco booth, and follow along in the images included above. Any questions, let me know!
Just fyi, what happens at the show is that there is a press room, where most of the (smart) exhibitors put together a press kit, a folder with information on their new product introductions for members of the media. Then, we go around the room, pick out the press kits which interest us, put them in a box (in my case two large boxes) and send the boxes to our address. I'm not sure just when my boxes will arrive, I'm guessing Monday or Tuesday, so for this particular post, I don't have specific information to fill in on new product introductions, and some of the websites linked (shame shame) do not have their current press releases up either. So, when I get the press kits, I'll fill in the blanks so you know more specifically, what you were looking at in my flikr images.
For now, enjoy the images, podcasts, and links!

Actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley sexy images gallery. Do not hesitate to comment and share your favorite!
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Bio
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (born April 18, 1987) is an English Model and Actress. She is best known for her work for lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret and for being one of their brand "Angels". She has also worked for Burberry and was the face for their 2011 brand fragrance "Burberry Body".
Moving into acting, she became known for her supporting role as Carly Spencer in the 2011 film Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third installment in the Transformers film series, and for co-starring in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).
While a 15-year-old student, she undertook work experience at West End, London-based Model agency Profile, before taking her GCSEs. Signed after graduating in summer 2003 aged 16, her first modelling session was for a Levi's jeans commercial. She got her first big break in January 2004 when she travelled to New York for a shoot with Teen Vogue. She later made her catwalk debut alongside Naomi Campbell in New York in Spring 2004, and was then photographed by Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch.
In early 2006, she was signed to American lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, making her début at the brand's 2006 show in Los Angeles.
Huntington-Whiteley remained unknown outside the fashion industry until 2008, when she was cast by chief creative director Christopher Bailey, replacing Agyness Deyn for Burberry's autumn/winter campaign with actor Sam Riley. She got her first British Vogue cover on the November 2008 issue, alongside Eden Clark and Jourdan Dunn in a feature celebrating British models. The following year, she was featured as the face of Karen Millen's spring/summer 2009 advertising campaign. She starred in a short film for Agent Provocateur playing a woman whose boyfriend forgets Valentine's Day.
For fall/winter 2009, she modelled in campaigns for Godiva and Miss Sixty. In February 2010, Huntington-Whiteley officially became a Victoria's Secret Angel, modelling for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York City.
In 2010, she posed nude for the Pirelli Calendar, which was photographed by Terry Richardson. Huntington-Whiteley hit the runway for designers Prada in Milan and Giles Deacon in Paris. For SS10 her advertising campaigns included Monsoon's first underwear line, Thomas Wylde, Full Circle, and VS Online. In March, she collaborated with VOGUE.COM to share her outfit choices daily for the Today I'm Wearing feature. She appeared on the covers of the May 2010 issues of Harper's Bazaar Russia and GQ UK. She was featured on the cover of LOVE Magazine's September issue, styled as a pinup girl. For FW10 she modelled for Burberry as well as the company's first Beauty line; her other advertising campaigns included Loewe, Thomas Wylde, and Leon Max.
Fashion photographer Rankin devoted a book entirely to her entitled Ten Times Rosie. Rankin opined that Huntington-Whiteley brought something different to modelling: "We've been looking at very, very skinny, almost masculine girls for a long time. (Rosie) really is the Model of the moment. She's the Actress of the moment. She's definitely going to become something much, much bigger." Celebrity make-up artist Ruby Hammer, who has worked with Huntington-Whiteley for years, described her as the "quintessential" English rose.
In March 2011, Huntington-Whiteley landed her first solo British Vogue cover and appeared on the covers of the UK's July issues of Elle and GQ. She was unveiled as the face of Burberry's newest fragrance, Burberry Body, in July 2011. In 2013, Huntington-Whiteley starred alongside Helena Bonham Carter and David Gandy in the Marks & Spencer Christmas advert. She was also announced as the face of Australian cosmetics brand ModelCo.
In May 2010, it was announced that Huntington-Whiteley would become the new female lead in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, released 29 June 2011, replacing Megan Fox. She had previously worked with the film's director, Michael Bay, on a Victoria's Secret commercial. MTV Networks' NextMovie.com named her one of the "Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011". Prior to the film's release, she won the "Female Star of Tomorrow" award at the 2011 CinemaCon Awards.
Critics were highly critical of the acting of Huntington-Whiteley and co-star Shia LaBeouf. Peter Travers (of Wenner Media) stated the two "couldn't be duller". Jason Solomons of The Observer wrote that "we're first introduced to Rosie via a close-up of her bum, segueing straight from the film's opening sequence and titles on to the pert buttocks and underwear of our heroine", and that Huntington-Whiteley's English posh girl accent "renders her practically unintelligible when surrounded by American accents and falling masonry". Much of the criticism towards Rosie Huntington-Whiteley compared her in an unfavorable light to Megan Fox. Lou Lumenick said that her "'acting' makes…Megan Fox look like Meryl Streep in comparison". Baz Bamigboye gave his review of the film the title "Come back Megan Fox, all is forgiven…". In a positive review, Drew McWeeny of HitFix said, "She reminds me of Cameron Diaz in The Mask, an Actress who doesn't really show off any range, but who gives a natural, winning performance and who is up to the challenge of this particular picture."
Huntington-Whiteley had her second acting role in the film Mad Max: Fury Road, which was released in May 2015. She played The Splendid Angharad, one of the Five Wives of the warlord Immortan Joe. In order to portray her pregnant character, she wore a prosthetic stomach throughout the film.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (age: 32) is an English model and actress known for as a Angel of Victoria's Secret and Transformers and Mad Max: Fury Road movies.

I'm making my way through the backlog of Star Trek commission pieces and I always love a good Year of Hell request. I think Year of Hell is probably one of the most imaginative ways to do an "it was all a dream" episodes and in the end, I wasn't disappointed that it would leave no lasting impact on the show. It was a pretty grim what-if but it gave them a chance to do some really interesting things.
I had to reframe this scene for my particular style but I think it came up really well. Sometimes I get requests to do a Star Trek colouring book so I grabbed the linework so you can download it and colour it yourself if you'd like (post a link if you do!)

NY Six 6 Hour Motor Vehicle Accident Prevention
On 8/3/17 I found the course very informative and helpful and I really enjoyed the internet session. I didn\'t receive the certificate so I called they were very polite.
The certificate looks professional front and back however there was a typographical error. I called and they will correct it and mail out by fed ex. The wait is well worth even if you come across a problem and I\'m certain it will be correct when I receive it.
Response: Hi Jody,
Thanks for your review! Please feel free to let us know if there is anything else we may help you with after you receive your updated certificate.

Made the course possible
My wife needed to take the online Michigan Basic Driver Instruction Course today. Registration was basic and straightforward, but the course would not load. After a few good-faith efforts, we called the help line. Harold was not only encouraging, but with a few questions he guided us through our advanced Chrome settings to allow Flash presentations. We were on our way in under five minutes. Many thanks and much appreciation for such helpful people.
They contacted took care of me.
I started in the course for excessive speeding . I took the course for AZ DEFENSIVE DRIVING . Initially just doing it for ticket dismissal and to avoid the points . I learned allot because of the technique of the writers on this course . The exam was a little crazy but it ensures you read all important text because if you didn't , guess your not gonna pass !! Lol. Great job American Safety Council. 5 stars for sure !
Advance Defensive Course by American Safety Council
I just completed the advance training provided by the American Safety Council. I have taken several advance defensive courses in the past. This course really impressed on me the costs (personal, social and economic) of vehicle accidents that can be reduced by better driving habits. Hopefully I will continue to use the pointers and ideas that I have learned from this course. But these is my responsibility!
I thank the American Safety Council for this course.
I had trouble accessing my account and Ian was nothing but helpful.
Very helpful
Lalaine A. was extremely helpful. Helped answer what was wrong in a snap!
Great customer service
I was having an issue with the page, but it was resolved quickly and very efficiency by Lalaine Anulao. Ms. Lalaine Anulao is a customer service representative , she was very nice and professional.

I am blessed.
I've been weepy all day at the thought of all that is good and right, at the generosity of kind people, at the sight of an abundant Christmas Eve spread contributed by my colleagues and the sounds of their children's laughter through the hallways.
I've been waxing nostalgic at Christmases past and imagining, hoping Christmases to come.
I pray for those who are struggling this Christmas. May the Universe guide them through this time of year laden with social pressures to be cheerful. May they find peace and a quiet place to cry if they need to. May they find the courage to reach out for support when they need it. May they be overcome with joy - even if only for a moment.
I sit in silence. I live in laughter.
I am grateful for it all.
I wish you a peace-full, joy-full Christmas...
Sounds of the Season: It was tough call today, but this one seemed to fit...

unless it's time for their vacation.)
I'll be posting some of our photos soon.
I'm really running out of products to do review so I thought of making an entry on how I personally use my Konad nail art starter set.
You can buy this at any nail art stores but I got mine here:

5 Years of From Roses & My Biggest Blogging Lessons
Every year as I approach another milestone for my blog I can't help but reflect. 2016 marks 5 years that I've been writing From Roses and I can't believe that I've been curating and creating this little internet space for that long. As well as having a look back over the past 5 years I wanted to share some of my favourite blogging lessons with you today.
When I turned my old neglected photography blog into From Roses I had no idea what would happen with it. It was somewhere for my own pleasure and it didn't matter whether people read it or not. Because it was just a place for me to write about something else than photography during my degree. The concept of readers baffled me and I didn't ever look at my stats and comments were very few and far between. And part of me does that miss that carefree relationship I had with blogging as it felt so innocent. But I wouldn't change where FR is now for the world as it's grown into something that my brain can't quite comprehend and I'm incredibly grateful for that.
So I want to thank the people that have stuck with me and supported my blog for years as I know there is a good few of you. And anybody else who ever takes the time to just click on a post, leave a comment, tweet or even reach out to me via e-mail. Those things mean so much to me that I'll never be able to put it into words. Because without you none of the awesome things that I've been able to do throughout this internet space would never have happened. And of course to thank you for allowing me to create the content that I do and feel like I'm able to sit down and write those truly personal posts and discuss those taboo topics. Thanks for providing me with a judgement free place to share my thoughts and a generally positive internet destination. I'm eternally grateful and I'll hope you will all continue to follow along as long as I'm doing this.
This is the biggest lesson that the past 5 years has taught me. The world of blogging doesn't look the same for everyone and we're not all trying to achieve the same thing. And it's all too easy to presume that each person is in the industry for the exact same reason and it can even cloud your own judgement with what you want to achieve. We all have our own aspirations and whatever they are it's so important to respect what other people are doing online. As whatever it is it doesn't take away from what you're trying to achieve.
Before I properly started blogging I presumed that the community would be so welcoming and that all bloggers would have respect for each other. But how wrong I was, whilst I think the community is great I do find it to be a little hostile and not quite as welcoming as I'd like to believe. There is room for everyone in the blogging world and that's the beauty of it. The internet can never be full because it has no capacity. And there is so many different circles within the blogging community that you're bound to find one that you like you're a part of.
One of the biggest misconceptions about blogging is that it's incredibly easy. And whilst I know all too well that it isn't difficult in the traditional sense. It's not all free trips and PR's constantly wanting to throw money at you for an Instagram post. Whilst it might be painted like that on a daily basis you have to be incredibly savvy to take your blog further than just a hobby. You also have to be so many things rolled into one unless you have a team of people helping you with every aspect which is very rare. And I completely understand why people roll their eyes when bloggers complain that they're stressed because most live an incredible lifestyle. It doesn't take away from the complex aspects of it all and the negativity that occurs. And whilst people can argue that it's something that bloggers choose to do. In reality, if anyone has the chance to do what they love for a living than they're probably going to take it.
- Create a blog that you'd want to read.
- Do what you're passionate about, not just what's popular.
- Be nice and be humble.
- Don't allow fear to fog your brain, be brave.
- Be proud of your internet space.
- Make connections, not contacts.

D got gifted a wonderful Radio Flier Trike from our neighbors down the block. He LOVES it. he rides all over the place, as much and as fast as he can (he usually pretends to be a train of some sort, doing really useful work). He rides so much, in fact, that his butt is all bruised from the hard seat.
just in case anyone else needs to do this, here's a step-by-step of how I made it.
Materials needed:
trike seat (remove it from the trike with pliers and elbow grease while batting away pesky toddler who's upset that you're messing with his trike)
foam (i bought 1/4 yard of 2"thick foam from joanns (ONLY buy it on sale, or it's ridiculously expensive. it seems to go on 1/2off at least one weekend a month, so wait for the sale!)
Leftover batting (i had some junky poly batting left from something old... )
1/4 yard of scrap fabric
scissors, needle and thread.
trace the seat on the foam with a sharpie
here's the shape of his seat.
the people at joanns told me to use a serrated knife to cut the foam. i don't think i have the worlds dullest bread knife, but all it did was make the sides look like this. so i turned to my kitchen shears
voila! a seat cushion shape!
cover it with batting (to round out the edges and ... actually, not sure why i did it, but i know you do this when upholstering things, so i figured i should do it for this....) i tacked the batting down with some quick and dirty stitches
these were the two semi-vintage red prints i had on hand, so i let D choose which he wanted. he chose zigzag (it looks like rows and rows of primary colored rickrack). (so glad he chose that one, i have jumper plans for the polkadot, but i have learned that i MUST give my boy a choice)
i laid the seat (with its foam and batting) on my fabric, and roughly cut the shape of the trike seat. (i took a rectangle and cut 2 corners off, so it was a very oddly shaped hexagon)
i used a lot of pulling and pinning, and threaded my needle with super strong thread, doubled, and sewed the fabric taut around the underside of the seat. i didn't bother covering the underside, cause it's not gonna rain upside down, nor will D be riding through lots of puddles in drought-ridden (ha, pun) SoCal.
D won't stop riding to let me take a cute picture, but at least it's getting used!

This evening I heard through a friend
that an old co-worker/friend's husband is no longer here.
She's my age;
he was just a little bit older;
they have three kids.
My heart physically aches for them.
Today, I am thankful that I have an Anchor to rest my hope in.
"When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
through every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil."

Your background is in agricultural economics. How did you become involved in selling mezcal?
I was passing through Guatemala to improve my Spanish [when] someone cloned my bankcard and relieved me of about $10,000. So I got a job at a fantastic hole-in-the-wall bar [in Antigua] called Café No Sé. The owner, John Rexer, (now my business partner), was traveling frequently to Mexico to purchase mezcal to be sold at the bar, and I made many trips with him to Oaxaca.
I understand the company name was derived from your early methods of procurement. Why did mezcal have to be smuggled into Guatemala?
Back in 2005, artisanal mezcal was uncertified, which meant it could not be legally exported from Mexico. To get real mezcal into Guatemala, we had to bring it across the border by being a bit creative. Over a couple of years, we transported mezcal dressed as priests, we floated it on rafts at night, we hid it under buses. We got caught a few times but managed our way out.
How does mezcal differ from tequila?
By law, tequila can only be produced from blue agave. The heart of the agave is generally steam-cooked, fermentation is done rapidly and artificially, distillation takes place in large stills and flavor profiles are adjusted in laboratories. Mezcal can be made with up to 25 different kinds of agave. The agave is cooked in earthen ovens and smoked. Each small batch will have a slightly different flavor than a previous batch, similar to better wines.
Do you have a preferred cocktail? How about food pairings?
Cocktails are a great way to introduce people to mezcal. An ice-cold beer with a glass of the joven is fantastic on a hot afternoon. For a pre-dinner drink, I recommend trying equal parts Ilegal joven, Aperol and sweet vermouth; or a Oaxaca Old-Fashioned after dinner with Ilegal reposado; and then the anejo nice and neat to finish the evening. The joven works wonderfully well with ceviche. The reposado complements a great cheese and dried fruit platter, and the anejo does wonders with dark chocolate and nuts.
Have you ever done anything crazy after drinking too much mezcal?
A good way to put it is that mezcal has expanded the boundaries of what I now consider crazy.
Ilegal Mezcal is currently available in three different styles: joven (unaged), reposado (oak barrel–aged for four months) and anejo (aged for one year). Check out the "Where To Drink" page on Ilegal Mezcal's website for more information.

This story comes to us from Janice Kaplan:
It's 10 a.m. on a Friday, and there are familiar sounds that fill the air outside of the Navy Yard Metro station stop in Southeast. It's the sound of wind whipping against the wood board advertisements for Half Street. It's the sound of an empty soda can rolling to and fro on the construction lot, clinking as it moves. It's the sound of a ghost town.
And it's these sounds, these notes of nothingness, that serve as an eerie reminder that Half Street, one of the city's biggest development projects, still has not come to fruition.

Soon a new president will be elected, and the race is starting to heat up. For landlords and property owners, it's important to understand how the 2016 presidential race will impact the industry. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and Jeb Bush are leading in polls in a very crowded field, and each has different views on the real estate market that could affect you if elected.
Donald Trump
Donald Trump's name is synonymous with real estate, the industry in which he made his fortune. As a result, it's very likely that he would take a business-friendly and real estate-friendly attitude if he were president. In fact, he has taken an extremely negative view of tax reforms that remove tax shelters for real estate, and he is deeply opposed to a new law in the works that would end like-kind exchanges that allow deferrals on capital gains from real estate sales. Trump has also called for the following policies:
Jeb Bush
Jeb Bush generally has a pro-business approach similar to other Republican candidates. He also has real estate experience, serving as a consultant to a number of real estate companies and running a successful commercial real estate enterprise. While Bush's tax policies remain unclear, these policies would likely involve tax cuts; however, he is currently the only GOP contender who has refused to sign Grover Norquist's famous anti-tax pledge.
As governor of Florida, Bush pushed through $13 billion in tax cuts, many of which went to the richest residents of the state. Given Jeb Bush's experience, it is likely that he would maintain and implement real estate-friendly policies, but specifics are still hazy.
Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton is currently the top Democratic primary contender, but her potential impact on the real estate market is also not entirely clear. In general, a Clinton presidency will likely result in higher taxes on wealthy individuals, while small businesses are expected to receive tax cuts. She is seen as a moderate Democrat and is relatively business-friendly, which might be due to her large support from corporate donors. For example, she promised no tax increases for those earning under $250,000 a year in 2008 and also voted to raise taxes on those earning more than $1 million. As a result, a Clinton presidency may maintain the status quo for smaller landlords, whereas larger landlords may see higher taxes.
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders may be a long shot, but he is the number two contender in the Democratic primaries. If Sanders were to win the presidency, it's highly likely that his presidency would have the biggest impact on the real estate market overall. He touts that he grew up in a rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn and may be interested in strengthening laws to protect tenants. Based on his past voting behavior, he may also increase taxes on real estate deals and individuals with high incomes.
In fact, Sanders was apparently inspired to get involved in politics due to rising rent in his own apartment, and he was involved with an unsuccessful attempt to introduce a rent stabilization ordinance when he first entered politics.
Overall, the presidential primaries are shaping up to be interesting, and the impact of the presidential election will likely reverberate through the real estate and property management industry for years to come. LandlordStation will keep readers up to date on major political developments and how they'll impact landlords and others involved in the real estate business as the race develops.

Friday 29th June – Sunday 1st July 2012; 10:00-17:00
3 Day Workshop
When we are fully present in the immediate moment, without expecting anything or assuming anything, simply and playfully alert to possibilities, the world and our own presence within it becomes more alive and therefore full of surprises.
The workshop invokes this state of mind and body through fine tuning the senses and opening up our responsiveness in movement to what emerges.
Through body work and improvised movement the workshop is intended to deepen awareness of experiential anatomy, touch, and breath. Through a weave of story making and explorations in the body we allow ourselves to shift and change – become more fluid and metamorphic in how we see, move and dream.
Full rate £120 ¦ Independent artist £100 ¦ Student £80
Only available to book as a 3 day package.

From 1990-2004 she worked part-time within the NHS for a GP surgery and set up a Breath of Fresh Air, a dance and health project for people living with chronic illness.

Genre: Women's Fiction, Contemporary Fiction
Type: e-book
Source: NetGalley
Publisher: Lake Union Publishing
First Published: Sept 27, 2016
First Line: "In the cemetery tucked back behind First Baptist Bible, next to the broad-leaf tobacco patch twelve miles south of town, scrawled out writing on a buckled tin sign reads 'No Burials Without Written Permission."
Book Description from GoodReads: Food, friendship, family, and a fresh start. Shelby Preston, a young single mother, is at a crossroads. She feels suffocated by her hardscrabble life in rural Georgia and dreams of becoming a professional chef. Lord knows her family could use a pot of something good.
In Atlanta, Mallory Lakes is reeling from a bad breakup. The newspaper food columnist is also bracing for major changes at work that could put her job at risk. Determined to find the perfect recipe for how to reinvent herself, she gets involved in the growing farm-to-table movement. But an emotional setback threatens to derail everything she's worked for.
Shelby and Mallory couldn't be more different. But through their shared passion for food, they form an unlikely friendship—a bond that just might be their salvation.
This heartwarming and lyrical tale reminds us that family isn't necessarily whom you're related to—it's whom you invite to your table.
This is a new release of a previously published edition titled Simmer and Smoke; it contains twenty delightful recipes.
My Rating: 2/5 stars
My Review: This is a down home Southern read about family, making one's way, food and a whole host of other issues. The book centres around two women - Shelby, a small town, young single mother who dreams of becoming a chef so she can make a better life for herself and her young daughter and Mallory, a well-to-do and recognized food blogger who wants more out of life. These two very different women's lives intertwine as the book progresses.
Lampman is a very descriptive writer regularly bringing her readers into the mindsets of her two main characters, Shelby and Mallory and even occasionally into the thoughts and feelings of Shelby's daughter, Miss Ann. But readers don't always have to be privy to every emotion a character feels in order to have a connection with them. In this case, the excessive inner dialogues and descriptions bogged down the pace of the book so much that I was left to gloss over these exceedingly detailed sections in search of the story line. I'm all for descriptive imagery and getting into the mindset of a character but surprisingly this in-depth look into their emotions didn't help me to connect with any of them.
What this book does have is a foodie's dream of vividly depicted foodie delights with the end results being quite tempting to the reader's palate. But one cannot live on food descriptions alone. The main issue that I had with this book is that there were 'too many cooks in the kitchen'. Lampman addresses so many different, and often weighty and emotional, issues within her story that it quickly became convoluted and lacked direction. I'm talking about issues such as racism, struggles of single parenting, vast discrepancies between social and economic classes, cheating spouses, the organic farm-to-table movement, bullying, drugs, humane slaughtering of animals, alcohol and prescription drug abuse, drinking and driving, discrimination against Mexican immigrants ... That's a lot of issues in one small book. The inclusion of all of these issues didn't give Lampman enough time to delve into any of the issues with any depth and resulted in a rather lackluster read.
While I enjoyed that a food blogger was one of the main characters and that this book focused on the strength and power of women, this book suffered from having too much yet not enough going on. I think the premise was interesting and I thought that I'd devour this book but in the end I left Lampman's literary table hungry.
Note: Some readers who enjoy good ol' southern cooking will enjoy that the recipes mentioned in the story are included at the back of the book.
Disclaimer: My sincere thanks to the author and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary e-book copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
