In preparing a Kaleo urban missions trip, we create an itinerary that gives the participants the opportunity to see what God is doing in the city through the work of amazing full-time ministries. Our ministry partners serve year-round in each city, and we work with them to identify ways that Kaleo teams can assist and enhance their existing ministry. We place participants in position to hear the stories of people of various backgrounds, and challenge the participants to listen to what God is doing in the lives of others, be prepared to share what God is doing in their life, and to find connection points to sharing the Gospel.
Here are some of the ministry opportunities on a Kaleo short term mission trip.
Homeless Ministry
Studies show that there are near 1 million homeless people in any given year in the United States, with some estimates going even higher. In many ways, they are truly the "hungry, thirsty and naked" of our day (Matthew 25). We partner with year-round ministries who are familiar with the regional causes of homelessness and who have goals for reaching out to meet the physical and spiritual needs of men, women and children who are in vulnerable time of transition.
Refugee Ministry
Over 60,000 men, women and children have fled threatening circumstances in their home countries and arrived in the U.S. as refugees last year. (as of July 31, 2010) By definition, a refugee is one who flees in search of refuge, as in times of war, political oppression, or religious persecution. The majority of refugees to the U.S. arrive from Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and our ministry partners are on the front-lines to welcome them and help them as they start their new lives. Most have endured some form of trauma in their journey and are seeking peace and hope. Some of the ways we assist is through Kids Club, mentoring, English classes, computer classes, language partners and home visits. If you are particularly interested in refugee ministry, please consider bringing your group to San Diego, where our ministry is specifically focused on the refugee community.
Ministry to Kids-at-Risk
Our ministry partners work consistently with urban kids at risk. We are able to come in and do Bible Clubs to recharge their ministries, bring the fun, and help them attract additional neighborhood kids to come. Additionally, sports camps, soccer tournaments and computer classes give our Kaleo Missions teams the opportunity to do relational ministry in a context where there are year-round ministries present for continued growth and follow up.
Inner City Ministry
Almost 40 million Americans live in poverty, and people living in urban centers are
more than twice as likely to be in poverty than those outside of the inner city. Additionally, they are often caught in a tragic web of drugs, debt, fear and hopelessness. Our ministry partners serving there have the opportunity to show a different way through Christ, through Bible Studies, community development, addiction recovery programs, home visits, block parties, and many other creative methods.
Elderly Ministry
Our Kaleo Missions teams bring life and hope with us into ministry with the elderly. Our teams participate in meals on wheels programs, room-to-room visits, Bingo games, sing-a-longs, manicures and crafts… all which open up doors for us to listen to their stories, and share what God has done in our lives, too! We also build relationships with the doctors and nursing staff, who are serving the immense needs of their patients.

ASA students speak about aikido
I recently overheard an acclaimed MMA fighter make the observation that in the West, the philosophy behind fighting is imposing ones will onto another through taking physical action. On the other hand, he observed that in the East the point of departure is one where the practitioner would argue "well, he has already placed himself off balance, I'll just help him along!" To me this describes beautifully what I have experienced in Aikido. There is no confrontation, only blending and defusing. I have never experienced any animosity nor confrontation in any class attended, and I feel totally comfortable to say that I don't expect to experience anything of the sort in the future either. To me Aikido has opened the door to great new friendships, unsurpassed personal and physical growth, as well as and effective means to defend myself should it ever be necessary.

I am a extremely proud member of AIKIDO SOUTH AFRICA! That says it all.
My journey in ASA started quite recently. During this short time I have seen amazing things happen, my aikido is changing for the better, awesome seminars in Gauteng and best of all 'excellent aikido teachings from Elroy Sensei'.
I wish to thank each and everyone in AIKIDO SOUTH AFRICA for making this organization the best in the country.
Thank you Elroy Goliath Sensei for making this possible.

I first heard about Aikido from my mother who joined her work friends in a demonstration. She soon gave up but I enjoyed the classes so much that I just had to carry on. I've been doing it for a year now and I don't regret a single moment. I love the bonds that develop between all the students and sensei Elroy. Thank you for giving people this wonderful opportunity. Love you guys!!!

I was curious about Aikido but with no Aikido dojo in my surrounding area I visited Aikido South Africa's website. I made contact with Sensei Elroy Goliath and he introduced me to fellow student Peter Lethina, who did not hesitate to take me along to class. I enjoyed my first class very much and since then I am still with sensei.
Sensei said that it is not the teacher that chooses the student but the student that chooses the teacher. I am very happy that we as his students choose to experience the world class Aikido lessons and we are privilege to receive it from him, 4th Dan Sensei. Everyone practice Aikido for their own reasons and I belief sensei cater for all our reasons, including but not limited to fitness, self defense, personal development, anger management etc.
Thank you Sensei, you inspire us and hopefully we will grow as your students to one day share your knowledge, ethics, professionalism and principles to our students.

I started Aikido about a month and a half ago and am enjoying it very much. I've always been looking for something to do, but past life were a bit rough and I were on the wrong path. I finally decided to go see and try Aikido, and I loved every moment of it. Its helping with my anger and depression and also my fire dancing. I just want to thank Sensei Sam Olivier for taking me in and Sensei Elroy Goliath for all the support and for the seminar he recently had. Thanks to Sensei Johan Greyling for hosting the seminar, and I'm hoping to see me still doing Aikido 10 years from now.

I want to thank Elroy sensei for welcoming me and my students in the ASA fold. We are all looking forward to a bright future in ASA. We are especially looking forward to new aikido endeavors.
This passed weekend was a taste of what is to come. If all the training is going to be like we experienced, it is definitely going to be great fun...

Sensei Elroy invited me to his dojo for Aikido practice in Feb 1999 during a very difficult time of life. I am grateful I accepted the invitation.
Currently, I am practicing Aikido for 12 years under the leadership and guidance of Sensei Elroy. During this time, I think we as students of Paarl School of Aikido had the privilege of witnessing the growth of Aikido in our dojo as well as membership. Myself and Robin Bailey accompanied Sensei Elroy in July 2009 for the annual seminar in Laces (Yes, we survived). My experience on the tatami at that time was that our level of Aikido was on par with the rest of the world. Those ten days of practice and teaching received, directly from Fujimoto Shihan, was an experience that will live with me for many years, because what I've learned became part of me and the way I practice Aikido.
Thanks to Sensei Elroy's dedication to Aikido, he ensures that the standard of Aikido in South Africa is that of Fujimoto Shihan's teaching.

Shodan student of Sensei Elroy, Vredenburg, Vredenburg
My journey in Aikido started on the 11th of August 2010. My son, at that time 8 years of age, had been hounding me for some time to do karate. I investigated some of the more commonly known arts but never felt comfortable with any of them matching his personality or temperament. After reading a newspaper article on Sensei Goliath and his relationship with Shihan Yoji Fujimoto, I decided to attend one of the classes. On Saturday the 9th of August 2010 my son attended his first class and I signed up the very next Monday. We have not looked back since. I am in constant awe of Sensei Goliath's ability to work with the children in a calm and patient way every time I watch him teach. He has this amazing ability to attend to each one at his own individual pace, and truly care a great deal for all of them. The senior classes are constantly exposed to the best teachings on offer in South Africa at the moment, with frequent visits from international leaders in the art to supplement our growth even further. Sensei, from both myself and Evan, we would like to thank you for your professionalism, your kindness, your uncompromising passion, your true friendship and not least of all, your brutal Nikyo demonstrations. We look forward to many years of joy and growth in Aikido with you at our side.

From childhood I wanted to do aikido but unfortunately it was always out of reach. To find an aikido dojo in South Africa is hard but for the past 6 years I have been fortunate to do aikido under Sensei Goliath. The best part is that am able to learn aikido from the best I have seen and based on seminars here and abroad we are on par with the rest of the world.
Excellent work Sensei!

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
Apple's Share of Global Mobile Phone Market Hits 5%
Research firm IDC today released results for global mobile phone sales for the first quarter of 2011, showing Apple hitting a 5% share of the overall market for the first time. The data also shows Apple regaining the fourth-place position it lost to ZTE last quarter.
Apple maintained its number 4 spot on IDC's Top 5 list thanks to a record quarter for unit shipments. The company posted the highest growth rate of the worldwide leaders. Apple's results were buoyed by strong sales on Verizon Wireless and additional carrier deals; the company is now on 186 carriers operating in 90 countries. The iPhone once again sold particularly well in developed economic regions of the world, such as North America and Western Europe.Apple's 114.9% year-over-growth easily led the major mobile phone manufacturers and enabled the company to grow its share of the market from 2.8% to 5.0%.
Apple's initial goal when it launched the iPhone in 2007 was to capture 1% of the global mobile phone market, a figure met with some skepticism by the company's competitors. Apple of course quickly reached that goal and has continued to post strong unit sales growth as consumers have increasingly turned to smartphones for their mobile device needs.
In support of IDC's numbers, Strategy Analytics released a similar report today showing Apple with 5.3% of the overall worldwide mobile phone market for the quarter. The primary difference between the two reports comes from IDC counting approximately 20 million more handsets in the "Others" category than Strategy Analytics.
A report released just yesterday by NPD showed Apple taking 14% of the total mobile market in the United States, but the company of course holds a lower share of the worldwide market due in part to the premium pricing its devices carry in many countries where consumers are more likely to purchase low-end phones on prepaid plans.
Top Rated Comments(View all)
I only know 2 people with an iphone all the rest have either the HTC Desire or Desire HD. Once I showed my friends my Desire they all switched. Same as my work too. Nearly everyone had an iphone then I brought my HTC into the office and within a few weeks everyone had a Desire :D
HINT: When lying, always make it a believable lie.
I find both places very style-centric (Stockholm especially), but also somewhat frugal. I don't think that iPhone will reach as large of a market share in Europe due to the high upfront cost of an iPhone (659€/799€ for 16GB/32GB).
Actually, it's running joke that you can identify an American by iPhone/iPad (aside from the loud inane conversation).
The problem for Apple is that Android handsets come out, which are the very top and, as you say the same price, then a while later a new top Android phone comes out, so the old one gets offered to people at a lower price, then an even newer Android handset comes out, so the original one is now offered at a very lower price and so it goes on.
So, people can may a LOT for an iPhone or get an Android phone that was the very best a while ago for much less.
Apple don't tend to let old models slip down the pricing ladder in this way, hence they will always lose out from amass of sales that are at low to medium price bracket, and that's where the bulk of the consumer market is.
Apple are the only ones that lose out due to this policy.
And to be honest, a lot of people don't know, care, understand. the iPhone is just another phone, like and Android phone. they are all the same thing, you can get apps and games on them all and they are all phones.
Lots of people just don't care.
Cool story. Only problem, of course, is the facts.
iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS are the #1 and #2 selling handsets.
Not big on business sense, are you? Apple doesn't "let old models slip down on pricing" because they don't have to. Do you think other companies reduce prices on their phones out of the goodness of their heart? They lower the prices because nobody wants them.
Guess not, if I was selling Fruit on my market stall and someone said, what's your top/best selling item of fruit and I said, oh, Apple's Apples are the No.1 and No.2 best selling pieces of fruit I have, they outsell everything.
Oh, so you sell loads of Apples the guy asks?
No, I don't sell that many Apple's compared to my other fruit.
the bloke leave with a confused look on his face.
Just because someone is confused by math, doesn't make the math wrong.
To use your fruit example. Say your top 2 selling fruits were green and red apples. 30 red, and 20 green each a day. Which would account for 50 apples a day. Now to keep things simple, let's say you also sell 95 other fruits that aren't apples, but you only sell 10 of each of them a day.
Now, in a day, you sell 3 times as many red apples as you do to all non-apple fruits, and you sell 2 times as many green apples as you do to all non-apple fruits. They are your top 2 sellers by far....but they still only account for 5% of your fruit sales.
I'm still amazed that we're at the point where we can measure Apple on the 'mobile phone' scale and not just the 'smartphone' scale.
Indeed, and unlike the trolls, Apple users are amazed at how well Apple is doing in these rankings. When the iPhone first came out, I doubt anyone expected Apple to do as well as it has.
Do you work for Apple?
AAPL works for me.
Good comeback. So you haven't done much work in sales, I take it? That's cool, you can just admit that you were wrong, and nobody will think less of you.
No, I'm a prof who designs some of these systems discussed here. I would get laughed out of any meeting where I compare numbers in the manner than you do.
It's absolutely imprecise, but if you're in sales, I understand how it makes sense to simply for the customer.

The store fronts testify to an integral and economic piece of the Tulsa puzzle, but legal or not, many local Hispanics are feeling harassed by Oklahoma legislators.
"It's a harassment, and I think they're being racist," said Irma Ramirez, who was in this country for 20 years before getting her citizenship.
Do you have undocumented friends and are they worried? "Oh yeah, of course, I do have, and they're very worried, they're even afraid to go out, even to go shopping because they're afraid of being deported," she said.
The legislative session began this year with some 30 bills aimed at illegals. That's been whittled down to a potent handful, proposing everything from seizing property to denying in-state tuition.
"These undocumented people do pay taxes," said Tina Pena, trying to tackle anti-illegal arguments one by one.
"When we go to Walmart we don't say, 'Hold my taxes I'm undocumented,'" she said.
"I think part of the conservative ethic is that we need to be pragmatic, we need to look at dollars and cents," said pastor Leonard Busch, saying that the economics favor illegals.
"There's a larger contribution to the economy, then there is a drain on the economy.
But economics aside, the bigger picture is the bulls eye many Hispanics feel painted on their backs, even if they are legal.
"The system doesn't work," said Pena.

Could this be my holy grail LBD?
Now to be fair, the reason I wasn't panicking was that I do have a back up. Well, one of my closest friends has my back up dress and has in fact had it for about five years. There clearly is a sensible brain cell rattling around my head somewhere as, what would normally happen is, I would have asked for return of said dress next Friday say, to wear on Saturday night. In my head this dress still looks great. Black satin strapless, very fitted, just below the knee, little fishtail at the back. You can guarantee that in reality, as I've had 3 children since I last wore it (I bought it for my hen do - this story just gets worse, doesn't it?) the chances of it fitting me properly would be lower than zero. And it's probably actually quite nasty.
So, partly as a distraction and partly as that sensible brain cell has a loud voice saying go and find something or you'll be going in your pants, I've been having a look for a dress that would suffice for a black tie dress code and one that would also just be a handy LBD. Or just an LBD as I actually don't have one. Shock. Horror. But, as I may have mentioned one or a million times, I'm not really a dress person (no shit sherlock).
And what do you know. I think I've come up trumps. I haven't had to resort to feeding the kids beans for the rest of the month (ok so maybe cheesy beans and I can stretch to a sausage or two - Annabel Karmel, back in your box) and - oh and this is the most wonderful bit - it covers my knees. YEEE HAAAAAAA. Well, it covers my knees when I stand still. I'm slightly scared that when I walk it might ride up and flash double doughy knees at the world but I can either a) waddle or b) just not walk anywhere. Works for me.
If that wasn't enough, it gets better. The ruching of it means that it's so flattering, it gives me curves. I actually don't look like an ironing board with two fried eggs glued on a third of the way down. And lastly - oh bum, I think this really might be age evident - it's comfy. I don't have to breathe in permanently (another reason why ruching should be sainted).
I don't have a pic of me in it but here it is - The Taka Darwin Dress from All Saints
I have shoes (Zara - black suede either shoes or ankle strap sandals) and a bag (Coast bullet bag) (Husband - are you reading?!) but could probably do with (Husband - stop reading now) some new mega Pat Butcher stylee earrings. I am chuffed.
I'm also thinking if there's any way I can maybe wear shoehorn it into the Italy Outfit hole. Am thinking I'm going to struggle for a day ceremony in Italy in the blistering August heat. Perfect for the night do though. So I "may" be partly there. I'm leaving this subject now. As am too hungover.
Which leads me neatly onto the last couple of days which have been totally manic here. Last night, had my launch party of my Wardrobe Consultation & Personal Shopping business, along with a Taylor Stephens clothes party. Fantastic night (tomorrow will do complete blog on party and all the wonderful clothes - have loads to report) and a huge public thank you to all my friends who came and made it such a successful evening. I also have a great new logo and so shall be remodelling the blog in the next few weeks and putting on a page all about the business for anyone who may be interested. In the meantime if you would like to know more, please don't hesitate to contact me on email@example.com
So a quick round up of what I've been wearing in - wait for it - the sunshine. Oh lord, how much better does life seem when it's not raining?
Wed - great meeting with a wonderful lady who sells the most beautiful jewellery. Have some on the way and can't wait to blog about it! Plus a successful haul in Majestic Wine of supplies for Thursday night.
Blush silky jersey t-shirt - H&M
White straight leg jeans turned up - Zara
Brocade jacket - Wallis
Statement stone and gold necklace - Anthropologie
Tan leather cuff - Mulberry
Brown leather cuff - Hultquist
Tan multistrap wedges - Clarks
Sunglasses - Tom Ford
Vanilla Roxanne - Mulberry
And yesterday I didn't even have time to take a photograph of my day outfit. Can you believe it?! Last night, RR1 was in bed and so the lovely Mrs. L was nominated as Photographer. This was taken exceptionally late hence I am a little worse for wear. But you get the gist. (I also couldn't get her to take 80 photos like RR1 does. So it was these or nothing)
Beige longline vest - Primark
White loose knit top - Cos
Black leather corsage necklace - Sportsmax
Black/navy/beige leopard print trousers - Whistles
Black suede sandals - Zara
Black blazer - newly purchased last night! More on that tomorrow.
So it's goodbye from me today but see you definitely tomorrow. Out again tonight - and wearing a new purchase from last night. Beyond bargainous. I can't wait to tell you all about it.
Oh and did I mention we have chicks? Three week old chicks. In the kitchen. Hmmmm. And people wonder why I drink.

Love, love, love the dress. xxReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you darling! You, of course, were the inspiration! I just love the fabric, I don't think it's remotely cheap, it's dressy enough for black tie but not overly dressy to not be able to wear for a night out iyswim. I think it's a bargain for £150 seeing how expensive some AS dresses are now. You did order it, didn't you? xxxDelete
I'm waiting for it to arrive BUT and it's a big but I think it's going to be way to long on me.:-(Delete

ahh hence the chicken feed and the hangover! Lovely dress, Mawi do some fabulous chunky Pat Butcher earrings....Still being so tall I expect you would look fab even if you did have to resort to going in your pants!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes exactly! I love Mawi jewellery & you've reminded me that I have a charm bracelet from there that's buried in a drawer. WIll hunt it out, thank you! That's exactly the sort of thing I'm after earring wise, deffo. And lovely of you to be so kind but believe me - it's not a great look - me in my pants!Delete
I love the dress - surely it would do for daytime wedding too - its very Sophia Loren.ReplyDeleteReplies
Do you know what, I think you're completely right. In fact they mention La Dolce Vita as inspiration for the dress code on the invite so I think black would definitely work if I add some colour. Am contemplating the Zara shoes I have above in the peach and orange and getting an orange suede clutch. Or something along those lines - maybe gold? hmmm I'm liking it definitely. Thank you! xxDelete
My favourite LBD is from All Saints and I wear it all the time; it works for both summer and layered up for winter, dressed up for work worn with smart shoes or dressed down with casual boots or a pair of Converse. I bought it in the sale for £30 and it is, seriously, the best £30 I have spent.ReplyDeleteReplies
You're so right, I think All Saints really are fantastic for dresses. I do actually have another black dress - v V Westwood inspired and VERY short so opaques are a complete must which I wore to a wedding at Le Manoir last year. It's perfect for dressy Winter dos and I've had it for about 3 years. Impossible to dress it down though. Doh!Delete
Fantastic dress, bet it will look lovely on, i have some beautiful ruched dresses from Velvet by Graham & Spencer and love love love them :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Have to say I am super pleased with it! Hunting down accessories now..... well, earrings anyway. Extensive research on the go..Delete
Love the dress...LOVE AllSaintsReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks love! and yes, I have to say it's definitely one of my fave shops. How looking forward to coming home are you? Perfect timing for the sales!! xxxDelete
Gorgeous dress and I notice you've been able to wear your new sandals despite the awful weather - yay.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks love and yes, am over the moon at being able to wear the sandals. Which I'm completely loving. Have had so so many great compliments on them and no-one can believe they're from Clarks! Hopefully next week the weather is looking good and so might get to wear them a bit more. Finally.Delete

Great dress! Just wondering what sort of wedding it is in Italy- formal? or would a maxi dress suit? Would solve the knee issue! I relate to knee shyness...ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! It's a very modern, glamorous wedding. I was going to wear a maxi dress (which I do have and so it's a perfect back up - I'll take it with me anyway) There's also a dinner the night before and brunch the day after so may use the maxi for the brunch. The more I think about it, the more I think the dress will work really well. Am loving another knee shy person - we definitely need to start a club! xxDelete
If I looked that good when I was a little worse for wear, I'd be one happy lady!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh you're funny! The photos of me the day after - hmmm yeah, not so hot. Will be posting them in the morning. Today - boy, a complete right off! Hope you had a good weekend doll xxxDelete
Love the dress, I adore ruching, sooo forgiving!ReplyDelete
Have you thought of getting a dress made for you for the wedding? You could ask the dressmaker to base the design on the All Saints dress. The bonus will be you can have it made to the length you want which means no waddling on the day and also no fear you'll be wearing the same dress as one of the other guests!
I bet there are students at the fashion collages in London who'd take the commission for not too much money. Some of the stuff the fashion students at my son's collage make is outstandingly good.Replies
That is such a great idea! I think I'm going to see if I can make this dress work for the wedding - although there is a patterned one which I'm really tempted to see if I can justify.....Delete
But I'd love to meet some fashion students and have them work on some other stuff - what a wonderful wonderful way to get some new and totally individual outfits. Is your son at fashion college? If he has any contacts at all, I'd love to have a chat to them. If you could email me, I'd be so grateful. Thank you! xxx
I think you will ,ook extremely gorgeous in the All Saint dress.. the cut and design is so classic you can still wear it for your kid's graduation! (ok, pushing it a bit too far now ;)) I am still (for the past God knows how many years) on a look out for my ultimate LBD - just below the knee, sleeves or single sleeve on the left side (scared), not too fitted not too loose.. the hunt goes onReplyDelete
Have a good weekend!
Thank you so much - here's hoping it lasts the test of time! And good luck with the hunt. I often think it's harder if you have a fixed idea of what you want. But, as Lisa suggested above, have you thought about having one made? xxxDelete

I love your blog! You always look fabulous, and you always make me laugh!ReplyDelete
Love the black rouched dress - it has my two favourite qualities; comfort and creates and optical illusion - buy it in every colour!Replies
Oh thank you so much, that's such a lovely thing to read!Delete
And yes, there is actually a patterned one which I'm tempted by........
Love your writing and your outfits! Wishing you all the best for your business!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much - what a lovely comment to read. And fingers crossed I make a success of it! xxxDelete

Oh my goodness I live up in Yorkshire where it has rained ALL week I am considering blogging my transformation from reasonably stylish mummy into soggy wet tramp!!! Enjoy your blog thank you!!! XxxReplyDeleteReplies
It's hugely hard to look stylish in this utterly crappola weather, isn't it? But I have high hopes for next week - I refuse to believe it's going to be hideous till we hit Autumn....... And thank you so much for being so lovely and hopefully keep reading! xxDelete
What an amazing black dress! You will look fabulous:)ReplyDelete
Thank you! Am pondering now hair up or hair down - I'm thinking maybe hair up actually so that you can see the whole top of the dress (and will save me a trip to the hairdressers!!) Will post photos - obviously! xDelete
That's a fab dress, I'll have to head to All Saints to see if the sale has any gems!ReplyDelete
Thank you. And yes, I have a big list for as soon as the AS sales starts! Sod's law of course it will either be a) all sold out or b) not in sale. Doh! Hope you grab a bargain!Delete
The dress is fantastic, I have exactly that style in black, shocking pink, white and bright yellow (La Perla had an irresistible sale about 12 years ago and they are still going strong) Check out black as a colour at weddings in Italy though, I have a vague memory about wearing black meaning bad luck in some countries. I read that you haven't been to Westbourne Grove, you should check it out as there are two large Matches shops, a DVF with full range, Maxx Studio, which I normally don't like but they have some AMAZING dresses, there is one that could be a saviour, it is a short fitted dress with a translucent silk chiffon cover up which covers everything, you can see the shape of the body but all the nobbly bits are blurred by the chiffon, I could imagine it blowing in the wind on walk way into club 55, but I need more dresses like a hole in the head! They have it in a range of colours and the web site doesn't do any justice, they are also properly long (and look like they would cost £1000+, but they are £250 pre sale and I would imagine sales have started by now). Other shops along there include Joseph, Whistles, Reiss, Nannette Lepore, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Melissa Odabash, Heidi Klein, All Saints, Nicole Fahri and loads of independents, it is almost the perfect location for finding something really special, but make sure you go the right end, the Paddington end is a s**t hole. And sit outside at Daylesford and watch the world go by, it is the best people watching in London. I did not very inspiring post on it on my blog if you want more of an idea.xxReplyDelete
this is the one that I saw, it is great quality, easily as good fabric Gucci, much better than you would think from these pics.

No snarky comments like last weekend. I seemed to have jinxed a few pitchers.
Per Jamey, Martin Perez has been placed on the Frisco DL with
TOS a cracked fingernail. Strop has been sent back to OKC, BMac and Madrigal both activated off thier DLs and in the OKC bullpen. So the Rangers make a trade. Jailen Peguero goes to Houson for future considerations. Doug Mathis continues in the OKC rotation. Are my 75 words up yet?

I have always loved sweets. My family used to joke that every tooth I have is a sweet tooth and when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I loved the idea of owning a bakery, "Let's eat cake all day long!" However, I didn't think it was a "real career", so I set about to become a lawyer. But along the way I realized that feeding people made me happier. When someone marvels at how tasty something is that I've made, I get all warm and glowy inside.
My "aha moment" came three years ago when I was 30 years old. I had just married an amazing man and despite feeling stuck in a desk job that didn't challenge or excite me, life was rosy. I had been with the same company for nine years and though I wasn't full filled by my career, I didn't define myself by my job. One sunny July afternoon, my husband called me over to the computer. He was reading Steve Jobs' (CEO of Apple Computers) commencement address to Standford University, and had felt that it contained a message I needed hear. As he began to read aloud, tears started rolling down my face. Jobs said, "You've got to find what you love. And that's as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."
I had taken my time (and dated quite a bit) before finding the love of my life to marry, so why had I settled for a job I didn't like? Steve Jobs mentioned in his speech that he looked in the mirror in the mornings and asked himself, "Do I love what I do?" When the answer was a resounding "no" for too many days in a row, he simply changed what he did. Was it that simple, I wondered? And if I changed what I did for work every day, what should I do? What DO I love? My husband stopped reading and put his arms around me. He wiped a few years away with his thumb and said, "If you were just now graduating from high school, what would you do? Would you go to college?" I sniffled and replied, "I'd still attend my undergrad university, because I had an amazing time there and have fond memories, but immediately upon graduation, I'd go to pastry school." My husband shrugged and simply said, "So go to pastry school." I replied, "But we have a mortgage, we're still paying off our huge student loans...how will we afford it?" He shrugged again and simply said, "Go to pastry school." My husband kept telling me, "Go to pastry school." He new what was in my heart, and what I really loved.
Once we moved past all the superficial reasons why I couldn't or shouldn't go back to school (on top of almost $300,000 in combined student loans), I began looking at the local Le Cordon Bleu patisserie program. There was a new session beginning in a month, and with my husband's full support, I enrolled in classes. Having been diagnosed with an auto immune disorder when I was twenty, I was restricted to a gluten free diet. Maintaining a gluten free lifestyle when none of your friends understand what that means (or where gluten can hide) is not easy and pastry school was no different. I'd arrive at class at 6 am every morning and start mixing my bread dough, or kneading and rolling out the croissant dough, or pouring out cake batter. All day long, the smells would entice me and it was a testament to my willpower that I was able to refrain from eating everything in sight. I'd come home after class and begin experimenting with gluten free flowers, such as millet flour, quinoa flower and potato starch, and see if I could recreate what I had made in class that day. There were a few hockey pucks, rather than light, fluffy biscuits, and there were some crumbly piles of sandy crumbs, instead of a moist springy cake, but as I kept experimenting, I gradually developed a handful of trusted recipes so I, too, could have a treat at a friend's BBQ or birthday party.
At potlucks, I'd always bring something I knew I could eat, since I wouldn't be able to read the ingredient labels on the sauces and dips and dressing that garnished the food on the communal table. Being gluten free meant skipping out on the desserts (invariably gluten-filled brownies, cupcakes, muffins, scones and cookies that I couldn't touch). Really, being gluten free meant sitting out on part of the celebration, and it wasn't because I wanted to be excluded - it was because I'd get sick if I indulged.
With increasing awareness about Celiac Disease and other autoimmune disorders (such as Colitis, Crohn's, Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis) that can benefit from a gluten free diet, more and more of my friends and colleagues knew someone who had recently switched to a gluten free diet. In addition, many people who haven't been diagnosed with one of the above illnesses, find that they too feel more energetic and healthier by avoiding gluten. Eventually, I was so busy with this "side business" that I quit my day job to focus exclusively on Crave Bake Shop. Initially, we were only a custom order and by personal request online store.
Last December, I was featured on the season premiere of the Food Network's popular show "Cupcake Wars". I was overwhelmed by shipping orders from around the country, as well as personal stories of people who had heard the judges reviews and finally had hope that they too could eat a delicious gluten free dessert. I also heard from many parents who were thankful that they could serve something delicious to their child who had a restricted diet. From there, we just kept gathering momentum...and we recently opened our first brick and mortar location. I get feedback from customers telling me that they have been gluten free for 3 years (or 7 or 15) and in all that time, have never had a gluten free cinnamon roll that actually tasted like a cinnamon roll...until mine. Indeed, most of the gluten free baked goods that I had tasted prior to starting Crave Bake Shop weren't products I would care to eat on a regular basis, and certainly weren't delicious. It seems that many companies are simply trying to capture on what they see as the "gluten free fad". What they don't realize is that for most of us, "it's NOT a fad, but a lifestyle that we must maintain in order to stay healthy.
My experience with pastry school not only taught me about the function of ingredients, but also honed my taste buds. I am able to taste when a product is made with cheap shortening and artificial flavourings, and I find it to be a turn off. Our products taste so good precisely because I use pure vanilla extract and Callebaut Belgain chocolate, and sweet cream butter. We test and retest recipes. Our gluten-eating friends try everything before we put it on the menu. Our goal isn't just to make Crave Bake Shop pastries the best gluten free treats, but to make them the best treats period. The pastries have to wow and delight and tantalize buds and make people immediately crave more. What gives me the most satisfaction is creating a new product or new flavour that thrills people. I love when they take a bite of something I've made and their eyes rolls back into their head and they moan in delight, "There's no way THIS is gluten free!" I just smile and quietly assure them that, yes, indeed it is gluten free and that they can safely eat it all.
Of course, that's not to say that there aren't times when I'm frustrated or tired and don't want to further develop a recipe. We all have those days. What really motivates me are the letters and emails that pour in from people around the country, thanking me for what I do and telling me how they cried tears of joy when they took a bite of my cinnamon roll - their first in 15 years - and it was delicious and tasted like the best cinnamon roll they could ever imagine. I have one repeat customer who was addicted to eating scones with here morning coffee but had to forgo that for the past 6 years. That was until she tried our orange currant scones. There is another family that calls me their "Cake Angel" because for the first time ever, their 3 year old daughter got to eat the same cake that all other kids enjoyed at the birthday party, and she got to feel included and "normal".
Whenever I think of these stories, it touches me. There is such an emotional component to food in general; we all have memories of our favourite family meal and scents of those foods can evoke strong nostalgia for the feeling of being safe, loved, happy and crowded around the table. When you introduce a serious food allergy or intolerance into the equation, the sense of nostalgia is even more powerful, because it's often combined with a sense of loss, of never again being able to eat that particular food. I think this is a big reason why so many of my customers are vocal about their opinions of my cakes, cupcakes and cookies and so on. It's strange, thinking that by doing what I love genuinely helps people, but when I reflect on all the stories my customers share with me, I can see that people definitely feel like I am making a positive impact on their lives. I'm just grateful that I am able to help! If that's not enough reason to keep on baking and doing what I do, then I'm not sure what is.

Accused mother tells Bradford court: I heard my son shout 'save me'
7:30am Tuesday 1st April 2014 in News By Jenny Loweth, T&A Reporter
A mother on trial accused of attempting to murder her next-door neighbour told the police she heard her son screaming: "Save me. Save me."
Fazilat Nawaz, 63, of Ringwood Road, Canterbury, Bradford, said she was in her nightclothes upstairs at her home when she looked out of the window and saw up to eight people attacking her son, Nadeem. She said he was being kicked and punched and a woman was holding him by the hair.
Fazilat Nawaz told detectives she dressed hurriedly and went outside in her bare feet.
"I was begging and screaming 'Please leave him. Don't hit him'," she said.
She feared the group was going to kidnap her son because they were dragging him towards a car. "They beat my son so much that my brain is not working," she said.
Fazilat Nawaz said she called her daughters and they woke.
She denied hitting anyone or being involved in a confrontation. Asked if she had stabbed anybody, she replied: "I'd never do that, it's lie."
The jury at Bradford Crown Court has heard that the Nawaz's neighbour, Mohammed 'Raza' Shah, 26, was stabbed at least 16 times to his chest, abdomen and back after 11pm on September 20 last year.
A surgeon told the jury he could have died from his injuries if they had not been treated promptly.
Fazilat Nawaz, Nadeem Nawaz, 25, also of Ringwood Road, and his sister Shazmeen Nawaz, 32, of Chelwood Drive, Lower Grange, Bradford, all deny attempted murder.
Nadeem Nawaz has admitted an alternative charge of wounding with intent, but the women also deny that.
Fazilat Nawaz said she had previously been involved in a dispute with her neighbours over parking but it had all been sorted out.
She had called out of the window telling them to move a vehicle and they had.
Nadeem Nawaz gave a prepared statement to the police and answered 'no comment' when questioned.
He said he was involved in an altercation with a neighbour who had made abusive comments to his sister.
Nawaz said Mr Shah had a knife but dropped it when he went backwards.
He said he used the weapon to defend himself when he was attacked.
The trial continues.

The Cover Up
Posted on
July 5, 2010
Shayna Rose Arnold
We were probably tempting fate when we invited our readers,
followers, and
friends to round up the brightest beach gear they could find and join us on Ocean Park Beach in the middle of May for our July cover shoot. And that's exactly what we did, expecting sun and an eager crowd. In the end, unseasonably cool weather—it was 62 degrees and windy in Santa Monica that day—forced us to make other plans. But we stuck around long enough to hear from bundled-up beachgoers what makes hitting the sand in Southern California so special, even on L.A.'s less than picture-perfect days.

C.J. Mosley is the latest Alabama player to pass on a Senior Bowl invitation.
NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt reported that the 2013 Butkus Award winner will not play in the game.
The news is not a surprise to Senior Bowl executive director Phil Savage, who thinks the risk is greater than the reward of playing in the game.
"C.J. is committed to us," Savage told AL.com on Wednesday, "but I honestly don't think he's going to end up playing. I think with his draft status in the top 10, top 15, no worse than top 20, I think ultimately he'll bypass the game."
A pair of Tide teammates, quarterback AJ McCarron and cornerback Deion Belue did not accept invitations to play.
Mosley and McCarron grew up in the Mobile area, just a few minutes drive from Ladd-Peebles Stadium which is the site of the Reese's Senior Bowl.
This year's game will be played on Saturday, Jan. 25.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated that vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) can be manufactured using ambient air, making the manufacturing process safer and less expensive. VACNFs hold promise for use in gene-delivery tools, sensors, batteries and other technologies.
New technology under development at The Ohio State University is paving the way for low-cost electronic devices that work in direct contact with living tissue inside the body. The first planned use of the technology is a sensor that will detect the very early stages of organ transplant rejection.
A team led by the University of Washington in Seattle and the Southeast University in China discovered a molecule that shows promise as an organic alternative to today's silicon-based semiconductors. The findings, published this week in the journal Science, display properties that make it well suited to a wide range of applications in memory, sensing and low-cost energy storage.
Fazel Yavari has developed a new sensor to detect extremely small quantities of hazardous gases. Made from a 3-D foam of the world's thinnest material, graphene, this sensor is durable, inexpensive to make, and opens the door to a new generation of gas detectors for use by bomb squads, defense and law enforcement officials, as well as applications in industrial settings.
Using carbon nanotubes bent to act as springs, Stanford researchers have developed a stretchable, transparent skin-like sensor. The sensor can be stretched to more than twice its original length and bounce back perfectly to its original shape. It can sense pressure from a firm pinch to thousands of pounds. The sensor could have applications in prosthetic limbs, robotics and touch-sensitive computer displays.
The latest research from the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) scientists unveiling how slim sheets of protein-like structures self-assemble. This "shaken, not stirred" mechanism provides a way to scale up production of these two-dimensional nanosheets for a wide range of applications, such as platforms for sensing, filtration and templating growth of other nanostructures.

Havelid for Salmella: What it means for Ottawa
The New Jersey Devils traded Anssi Salmela to the Atlanta Thrashers for Niclas Havelid today. From a Senators' perspective, this bodes fairly well. Havelid is not as valuable as Filip Kuba should be on the market, and the Thrashers received a fairly young and fairly promising defenceman (possibly a top-four in the near future). He was having a strong year in the AHL after moving to North America from Finland for this season. Reaction: In Lou We Trust, Bird Watchers Anonymous

Okay, show there's a lot of talk, both negative and apathetic about Stephen Ross's decision to host the 2 year Anniversary of the Florida Gators BCS Championship. Most fans on The Phinsider claim to be fans of the U and are upset because they see this as slapping the Hurricanes in the face in their own (sort of but not really) stadium.
These same fans are overlooking the fact that Ross extended an invitation to the Hurricanes first to celebrate the 10 year Anniversary of their National Championship, but declined saying they'd do it themselves.
Now, I'm a diehard Dolphins fan, always have been and always will be, but surprisingly, I'm not a Hurricanes fan. I go to FSU and am now a diehard Seminole fan (FEAR THE SPEAR) and though I don't like Stephen Ross very much, I support his decision to host the Florida Gators.
Now if you would, please take the poll below, so we can once and for all figure out if all Dolphins fans are in fact fans of the U as well. I'm putting my money on no.

Librarian-selected resources for Visions & Voices: Writing about Patients (Memoirs).
On October 18, 2010, Dr. Jay Baruch presented the lecture "Writing about Patients: Truth and Consequences" on the USC Health Sciences Campus. "The recent era has seen a rise in writing about illness, including physician and patient memoirs, blogs about illness and the practice of medicine and fiction based on the experiences of patients. Such writing can be illuminating and healing and can foster important conversations about health and the nature of suffering. But at a time when information can be shared with a keystroke, issues of privacy and confidentiality demand our careful consideration and thoughtful reflection. Jay Baruch, MD, will discuss the moral and ethical implications of this kind of writing.
