I am Not a Muslim, but I am Observing Ramadan. ~ Wendy Keslick
If you think that Ramadan is simply about the act of refraining from food and drink between sunrise and sunset, think again.
Yes, it is true that during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar—the month in which the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) received the first revelation of the Quran—Muslims refrain from food, drink, smoking and sexual activity from dawn through sunset each day. But truly, what is being given up is small when compared to what is being gained.
Ramadan is a time for reflection, introspection and spiritual growth that brings one closer to God. It provides a path for increased self-control and discipline. In addition, there is an intention for a deeper level of empathy and connectedness to one another, especially to those less fortunate—serving as a spiritual catalyst for charitable actions.
It is a time to delve even deeper into the pursuit of living each day with right thought, right words and right deeds.
All of these attributes speak to the heart of who I am—the path I travel—and why I am so intrigued.
I had been contemplating observing Ramadan since 2008, but it is in this present moment—for reasons dear to me—I have decided this 2013 will be my first attempt at embracing this important pillar of Islam. Having discussed my intentions with my closest Muslim friends, and receiving a tremendous amount of their support and advice, I feel that I am well-prepared.
Dried dates. Check.
Athan app on phone. Check.
As far as what my personal experience will be, I will have to be patient to see how things manifest.
Interestingly though, I have noticed that the preparations are drawing from both sides of my brain. While part of me is focused on clearing my mind, contemplation, increased prayer and mediation—the other part of me is tapping into my indepth knowledge of nutrition to meticulously plan out my meal that will be eaten before sunrise each day. I teach yoga and am massage therapist, so I need to plan accordingly for my active lifestyle. A nutritionally dense and hydrating meal that will sustain me until the evening meal after sunset will be imperative.
I believe that Ramadan has the potential to enhance my spiritual journey in this life. I will try my best to be present, allowing my experience to unfold as it is meant to be and avoid holding on to any expectations. My heart and mind are open and I welcome any continued growth that emerges from this period of Ramadan.
As a non-Muslim, I am not alone in my interested in Ramadan.
As a matter of fact the Philadelphia Dialogue Forum has established a program call "Iftar with a Muslim Family," that gives non-Muslims an opportunity to join a Muslim family for iftar, the special Ramadan fast-breaking dinner.
This is incredibly refreshing and beautiful to me, to see people so interested in coming together to share in something meaningful that has potential to be so transformative.

don't forget to tell us about your experience
Zairous, I definitely will do that! Thanks you for reading!
Thank you, Alaa!
Hi Wendy. I am also a non Muslim yogi observing Ramadan for the first time this year. I'm glad to hear we at not alone. Good luck on your journey
Hi Stephen! Thanks for the feedback. Wow! Great to know we are sharing in this experience. I hope that Ramadan provides you with many opportunities for spiritual growth and that your blessings are many.
I would like to do this but I haven't tried as I think it would be difficult because of other commitments. I'd love to hear how you get on.
Wow! So nice to know there are those who are joining us this month. Ramadan is a wonderful time for reflection and I do find it also compels me to get on my yoga mat for a deep practice every evening.. the stillness and the 'being here now' of it is really beautiful.
Please keep us posted!
I agree — it truly is a wonderful time for reflection. I am having many wonderful experiences and will write more about them once Ramadan has passed. I am happy to hear that you are maintaining your yoga practice during Ramadan. I am finding my practice enhanced during this time. Ramadan Kareem.
Whoever fasts two consecutive months of Ramadhan with good intention will receive forgiveness for the mistakes committed throughout the year.
And I would venture to say that having fasted through Ramadan with good intention, good deeds, deep reflection and dedication to a continued spiritual growth, one would tend to make less mistakes the following year. Meaning, in my opinion from my experience thus far, it brings us back to balance—between the material and immaterial—and deepens our commitment to right thought, right words and right action.
Ramadan is not the month only, but, a complete therapy session of Inner illnesses and Bad habits. Literally, the meaning of Swam (Roza) means to behold oneself from the bad and ill things and train yourself to pass your life according to the golden rules and regulations describe by the Almighty Allah in the Holy book (Quran).
Appreciated Article was written I just added my own opinion about Ramadan. Hope you will like it:)

Remember Abbey Johnson the former employee at Planned Parenthood? If you don't know the story, I will give you some cliff notes. She was working one day, she was asked by a doctor who was performing an abortion to assist her briefly. At that time, she saw the ultra sound of the child fighting for it's life in the womb of it's mother. The rest as they say is history, she quit, wrote a book and is speaking all over the country about the evil that is Planned Parenthood. Well friends it gets even better! She and her family are going to enter the Catholic Church! Remember a little post I wrote about Epic Conversions and St. Paul? Uh-huh, they still happen! God's grace is far greater than anything Satan has to offer! Keep Mrs. Johnson and her husband in your prayers, Please! And check out her book, I haven't read it, but, a friend at Credo Catholic, says it is pretty darn good. Bloggers Note: The two things I talk about Ad Nauseum? The Eucharist and Mary. When people get those two truths when they are not only taught but lived, conversion is like a train out of control! Only it's actually under complete divine control and all you want to do is give your fiat!
"SAN FRANCISCO (CNS) -- A woman who walked away from her job as a Planned Parenthood clinic director after helping with an ultrasound-guided abortion is preparing to enter the Catholic Church. Abby Johnson, 30, who has been speaking at pro-life events around the country, will become a Catholic, along with her husband, Doug, in her native Texas within the next few months. The couple has a 4-year-old daughter. "When we went to the Catholic Church for the first time, we knew that was where we were supposed to be and we have been there ever since," said Johnson, who said she particularly loves the church's reverence for Mary as the mother of God. "The more we started learning about the beliefs of the church and the Eucharist and everything, it seemed like this was what had been missing our whole lives." After eight years as a Planned Parenthood volunteer and employee, Johnson walked away from her job as director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan/College Station, Texas, Oct. 6, 2009, during a prayer vigil by 40 Days for Life. Johnson, who had one abortion at age 20 and another at 23, first began working as a clinic escort while a student at Texas A&M University. Assisting with an ultrasound during an abortion in September 2009 turned her into a pro-life advocate. She describes the experience in her book "Unplanned: The Dramatic True Story of the Planned Parenthood Leader Who Crossed the Life Line to Fight for Women in Crisis," written with Cindy Lambert (Ignatius Press, 2011)."

Best Nurses Story Winner Named; Contest Honored SVMC's Magnet Nurses
Hope McCarthy's heartfelt thank you to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center nurses and other staff earned the top prize in the Best Nurses story contest. The contest honored the hospital's nurses on their re-designation as one of only 238 Magnet Hospitals for Nursing Excellence.
Announcement of the winner is one of the events marking National Nurses Week (May 6–12).
McCarthy's story highlighted the extraordinary care her father received at SVMC during his last year of life.
In her story, McCarthy commended, "The teamwork from doctors, nurses, certified nursing assistants, dietary, and housekeeping was noteworthy … Thank you for the many gifts your team gave our family in some of our darkest hours."
McCarthy's winning story is reprinted in the May-June edition of SVHC's Wellness Connection newsletter.
The hospital's Magnet nursing coordinator and Magnet clinical nurse specialist judged the winner and runner-up stories. Harvey M. Yorke, president and CEO of Southwestern Vermont Health Care, said he was struck by the fact that the winning story recognized all SVMC employees.
"It's typical of our nurses that they chose a Best Nurses story that is about not just nurses, but about all of the best employees and physicians at SVMC," Yorke said.
Just as the nurses selected a story that recognizes their colleagues, McCarthy chose a prize that honors another.
The contest offered a grand prize of a $200 gift certificate for massages or other services at Integrative Therapies at SVMC or a $200 certificate for the hospital gift shop.
In lieu of one of those personal prizes, McCarthy asked that her prize be used for Integrative Therapies to sponsor the Relay for Life team she is leading in honor of her father, Macy Cookis. The relay is the American Cancer Society event, held in Bennington in June, that celebrates survivorship and raises money for the society.
The Best Nurses contest runner-up, Sharon Pinsker, wrote about the exemplary care she received from 2 East nurses.
"From the midnight nurse who always managed to make me laugh, to the day nurse who pampered me when I needed it, to the evening nurse who used her craftiness to make a cup holder for me — to all of you I am forever grateful," Pinsker's story said.
She also wrote that she "twice transferred to Mass General, and although the care there was sufficient, I couldn't compare those stays with my stays at SVMC."
Magnet designation is widely considered the "gold standard" in patient care. The Magnet Recognition Program for excellence in nursing was developed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Independent research has documented what Magnet means for patients. Here are some examples: Magnet hospital patients experience lower mortality rates; Magnet hospital patients have shorter hospital stays because of improved care; Magnet hospitals report higher patient satisfaction rates; and in Magnet hospitals, nurses spend more time at their patients' bedsides.
Southwestern Vermont Medical Center is part of Southwestern Vermont Health Care, a not-for-profit organization with a quest to make the communities it serves the healthiest in the nation.

Former UFC featherweight challenger Chad Mendes put on another impressive performance last night as he topped featherweight contender Nik Lentz in a three round beat dow. The fight was the co-co-main event of the UFC On Fox 9 card in Sacramento.
Mendes seemed to run out of steam at the end of the second round but we now know he came in fighting an illness. Even with a sinus infection Mendes managed to put on a dominant performance. Lentz rallied late in the fight but it wasn't enough and Mendes took home the unanimous decision win.
Prior to his loss to Mendes, Lentz was on a three fight win streak since dropping down to 145lbs and has looked impressive. But "The Carny" never had any answers to Mendes' early onslaught in the first round.
Check out the full highlights of the fight below:

VIDEO> Ken Block Gymkhana Grid Invitational
The very first time I ever posted a video by Joshua Herron on the internet, I was still writing for Speedhunters, he had just finished editing his 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon video (he didn't even have an HD camera yet), and Josh's name was pretty much unknown in the automotive scene. Man, have things changed – and in such a short amount of time!
Our own design guru Andy Sapp just sent me a link to Josh's latest video, which showcases his coverage of the Ken Block Gymkhana Grid Invitational at Irwindale Speedway on December 4th. I'm pretty sure that pretty much everyone will agree with me when I say that this is the_best_video I've ever seen from the 'Hobo' from Las Vegas! Check the footage of Ken Block's Ford Fiesta, Toshiki Yoshioka rocking the Driftspeed S15 Silvia, Alex Pfeiffer and the Battle Version SC300, Mike Essa in his M5-powered E92 BMW, and Tanner Foust getting sprayed at the podium once again!

If you're into muscle cars, then screw those four bangers. If you're into rotary powered vehicles, then screw those pistons! If you're into road racing and time attack, then screw drifting. If you're into Formula One, well, screw everybody. If you've been around car culture for any length of time, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You also probably know that not everyone feels this way. As we get a bit older and experience some of the great aspects of other car cultures, more and more of us are discovering that we're all the same under the hood – we're all just car guys.
In the middle of 2009 when we started MotorMavens, we established the site on a basic principle – that everyone's voice is validated by their passion for the cars and car culture because the one thing that brings the entire spectrum of car culture together is passion. We call it the "passion principle." Wherever you find some mind blowing interpretation of the automobile and the lifestyle that revolves around it, you also find some passionate person wrenching away – usually with a ton of pride and satisfaction in his/her accomplishments but very little money to show for it. That's exactly what the MotorMavens Crew searches for; we look for that passion in every possible niche of car culture so that we can broadcast it loud and clear to everyone when we find it.
So, what does all of this have to do with the Mass Appeal Show? It's simple. When Ken Block and the Gymkhana Grid team approached us to produce a car show at their Ken Block Invitational, we already knew that it would need to be different than what most people might expect. We knew our car show would need to represent the driving principles of MotorMavens... the car show would have to be multi-car-cultural; reflecting the wide spectrum of car culture that we love so much. It would have to have mass appeal - get it? Read more...
NEWSWORTHY> We're Back From Being Hacked!
MotorMavens readers (aka: our worldwide automotive family, supporters, and friends)! We're back from being hacked! This malware attack on our website was crazy, and we're still working to restore photos and functionality on the website. We apologize for the inconvenience – trust us, we're just as pissed about it as you are! It screwed lots of things up on the website, and really screwed up the quick and easy carshow registration forms that we set up. It couldn't have come at a worse time… right before our first car show – MASS APPEAL at Irwindale Speedway this Saturday, December 4th!
A LOT of people have been asking questions about the Mass Appeal show. A lot of people have told us they have been registering their cars just because they don't want to miss our very first show, and we love you guys for it!
Since Ken Block and Gymkhana Grid partnered with MotorMavens to find and showcase the west coast's most stylish cars for the special project that Ken Block's crew will be filming at Irwindale, we have invited some of the best looking street cars that have been featured (and not yet featured) on our website to this show! Mass Appeal is going to be an awesome gathering of friends and like-minded car owners. We can't wait! We have LOTS of friends driving their cars from all over for this event, but we need to emphasize one point… The Mass Appeal Show is focused on QUALITY. The point of our show was to attract the dopest cars – not necessarily the shiny, high budget builds you see at SEMA (although we have quite a few SEMA demo vehicles registered). (more…)
NEWSWORTHY> MotorMavens Mass Appeal Show!
YES!!! Are you excited?! I know I'M excited!
The MotorMavens Crew is finally doing its very own car show! MotorMavens was approached by the good people that are organizing The Ken Block Invitational Gymkhana Grid event to bring the most stylish street cars and show cars to Irwindale Speedway on Saturday, December 4, 2010.
For this event, we plan to showcase the freshest cars that our friends and readers own for a massive MotorMavens streetcar party at Irwindale! Come out and chill with the MotorMavens Crew (and the MotorMavenettes), as we'll be shooting an HD video of the car show to profile all the freshest street cars at the event! We will also have all the top automotive media outlets in attendance as well, scouting the best cars for magazine features. We've even received confirmations from overseas media – I'm talking the UK, Europe, Australia and even Japan! This is so exciting!!!
If you own a super fresh, super stylish street car and/or show car, and would like to be included as part of the show, please make sure to pre-register your car at http://www.motormavens.com/massappeal/ to receive a limited edition MotorMavens x KenBlock Gymkhana Grid shirt and other gifts from our sponsors – DC Shoes, Monster Energy Drink, Discount Tire, Castrol Edge.

- TWO (2) tickets to watch the Ken Block Gymkhana Grid event itself (Valued at $50 ($25 x 2 tickets)
- Pre-registered car owners receive ONE (1) limited edition MotorMavens x KenBlock Gymkhana Grid tshirt. ($20 value) (more…)

Local law enforcement officials agree that a domestic violence call is one of the most volatile situations an officer may get involved with.
A Sept. 29 report from the Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WCADV) highlights how tensions between couples and family members can turn deadly.
The WCADV reports that 33 domestic violence homicides resulted in 46 deaths in 2008. No domestic homicides were reported in Fond du Lac and Dodge counties in 2008.
"The release of the Wisconsin Domestic Violence Homicide Report provides an opportunity to mourn the loss of domestic violence victims, reflect on the cost of domestic violence in our communities and articulate and advocate for policies that will prevent violence in future years," said Patti Seger, executive director of WCADV, in a press release.
The numbers are not expected to improve this year.
WCADV is predicting 2009 may have the highest domestic homicide rate since the report was first published in 2000. Twenty-seven cases with 30 victims were added to the database through July.
Two domestic homicides — one in Fond du Lac County and one in Dodge County — will be included in the 2009 statistics.
On Jan. 9, the Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Department responded to a murder-suicide in the town of Eldorado that shocked the community.
The first deputies on the scene had little time to react as Kurt Hinkley shot his wife, Julie Hinkley, outside their Town Hall Road home before turning the gun on himself.
On July 13, Larry Henry of Waupun walked to the Waupun Police Department to report a problem with his wife, Tammy. Officers found the woman dead in the home. Larry Henry is in jail on $250,000 bond. He is charged with first-degree intentional homicide in Dodge County Circuit Court. A trial date has not been set.
In 2008, at least 15 minor children and 25 adult children in Wisconsin lost a mother, father or both as a result of a domestic violence homicide. Firearms were used in nearly half of the deaths, three children were killed and 12 children were at the scene of a homicide, according to WCADV.
Unknown danger
Devra Ayala, Fond du Lac County assistant district attorney for domestic abuse and sexual assault cases, said domestic violence — often fueled by alcohol and/or drugs — typically does not end after the first unreported incident.
"Most of the cases are not isolated. There are some that you only see (the offender) once," Ayala said. "It is situational where someone made a poor decision or people are really stressed out. For the most part, when you see domestic violence, it's a trend within a relationship."
The Fond du Lac Police Department realizes the potential danger in a domestic violence situation and sends at least two officers to every call, said Capt. Steve Klein.
"Usually, the emotion levels are very intense and there is a hyper-propensity of bodily harm to all of the people involved, including officers," Klein said.
On Oct. 19, 2003, Green Lake County Deputy Bruce Williams was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call.
"Bruce Williams was somebody I went to recruit school with. I knew him quite well," Klein said.
The suspect shot Williams with an automatic rifle when Williams exited a squad car, said Klein.
Officers attempt to find out as much information as possible before entering a home where violence has been reported. They are trying to determine if weapons are present, if those involved have been drinking and if there is a history of violence, Klein added.
Due to the size of Fond du Lac County, a Sheriff's Department deputy often enters a home alone, says Sheriff Mick Fink.
"We don't have the luxury of waiting for a backup officer," he said. "Deputies are asked many times to go in alone. It isn't the best police procedure or practice, but our deputies are not going to stand outside while somebody in the house is being injured."
Sometimes all parties involved will turn on an officer when the victim realizes his or her spouse or significant other is going to be arrested, Fink said.
"Deputies, by nature and by the geography of the county, have to sometimes be silver-tongued devils to keep the situation at bay until backup arrives," he said.
Potential impact
Domestic violence, whether reported or not, has a greater impact on the community than most people realize, said Klein.
"A lot of times people think domestic violence occurs behind closed doors. That is the case, but it has an overall effect on the community," Klein said. "You have to realize the children in the home have to go to school the next day. The combatants and the victims have to go to work the next day. They bring that (tension) into the workplace."
If the alleged offender is not held in jail, steps are taken to keep the victim safe, said Ayala.
"The court issues a no contact order. Whether or not they follow it is another story," she said. "The court does try to protect the victims."

Porto Lounge HostelPorto, Portugal
A lovely, clean hostel that is centrally located in Porto. Great breakfast too! I reckon a hot tub/plunge pool (on the terrace) and daily evening meal (for 8-10 Euros) would be a great addition to this hostel! www.facebook.com/TRGTALP www.roughguidetoalonelyplanet.blogspot.co.uk
Sweet & CheapSplit, Croatia
Very hard to find! They need a sign on the front of the building! The rooms need locked storage. The kitchen needs turning into a proper kitchen with the other half of that room with sofas or a big table etc so people can meet. That's what Hostelling is all about!
Hostel pod VoglomBohinj, Slovenia
Very much an outdoors centre hostel. Not great for meeting people as most people there were in groups as part of an activities programme. Lovely location though.
Home Made House/HostelVilnius, Lithuania
A lovely hostel, run by the brilliant Lina! Great location and lovely large top floor room!
The Blue Cow BackpackersRiga, Latvia
Not a great deal of atmosphere...more just a place to sleep. Really clean with ample room, great beds and secure lock boxes for your things. :D
Budapest BubbleBudapest, Hungary
A truly fantastic hostel! I loved every moment at the Bubble. From stepping through the door, I was greeted by the amazing Olga and felt like I was staying with friends rather than a hostel full of strangers. The atmosphere and friendliness of this place is just brilliant. Olga is one special person who makes EVERYONE feel welcome and part of the group; offering to show and take part in the great nightlife Budapest has to offer and she really makes this place what it is. Highly recommended!
Lisbon Lounge HostelLisbon, Portugal
A truly fantastic hostel! The free activities are brilliant and the food, cooked by the awesome Pedro, are restaurant quality! He kindly offered me some of the vegetarian leftovers. I just expected a lump of pasta to be put on my plate, but no...he lovingly crafted it with olive oil, balsamic, herbs and chopped cherry tomatoes as if his life depended on it! This hostel is truly fantastic! Thank you!
Old Town HostelDubrovnik, Croatia
Nice hostel, thanks mainly to Mike (the owner) who runs this place...a fun loving, laidback guy, who's well-travelled and is keen for everyone to be comfortable and enjoy their stay. Recommended!

The Korcula Backpacker - Onelove HostelKorcula, Croatia
Erm, tough one. I didn't mind the hostel, but it's a bit of a 'try hard' place - thinks it's cool and hip when really it's just a noisy bar and beds. Ask for a room higher up if you want to sleep. I had to laugh when the guy at reception told me, "I gotta warn you, you won't get any sleep here!" Basically, this hostel is like one of those people that says, "I'm kerrazy!" when actually it's just annoying.

I-O Data, Maker of multiple IT product types, has been revealed to have put together a new series of solid state drives, one that relies on the high data rates achievable via the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface standard.
The solid state drive industry is a field that has progressed at a rapid rate, what with both consumers and the enterprise market finding them worthwhile.
This goes for both 'standard' models and mobile units that utilize the Universal Serial Bus standard.
Speaking of USB, it is the latest iteration, otherwise known as the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 specification, that has been used in I-O Data's newest product.
Users might remember that, not long ago, this company introduced a number of internal SSDs that stuck to the SATA II (3 Gbps) interface instead of lunging for the SATA III (6 Gbps).
Now that it has also designed a line of external, portable units, the company did not enact the same principle of staying at lower yet affordable data speeds.
Instead, it went all the way at threw in the full benefits of the USB 3.0 connection, leading to read and write speeds of up to 220 MB/s and 180 MB/s, respectively.
The series is named GH-SSDE-U3A and is composed of three members, their capacities being 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB.
All of them are identical in size, measuring 79 (W) x 137.5 (D) x 12.5 (H) mm, and the same goes for the weight of 141 grams.
Finally, the trio are constructed out of MLC (multi-level cell) NAND Flash memory chips and are enclosed in solid metal, colored black.
Regrettably, even though the one-year warranty was among the details made available, the prices were kept under wraps. Fortunately, with availability scheduled for the end of the month (July, 2011), in Japan at least, this final mystery will be unraveled then.

Bahraini regime forces attack houses of opposition leaders
Wed Sep 19, 2012 1:28AM
FIDH urged Bahraini authorities to release all political prisoners and "to support the establishment of an international monitoring mechanism ... to monitor the implementation of the recommendations" of the independent commission of inquiry.Prominent Human rights figure, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, and opposition leader, Hassan Mushaimaa, are among those sentenced to life in prison. The Bahraini revolution began in mid-February 2011, when the people, inspired by the popular revolutions that toppled the dictators of Tunisia and Egypt, started holding massive demonstrations. The Bahraini government promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring Persian Gulf states. Dozens of people have been killed in the crackdown, and the security forces have arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses accused of treating injured revolutionaries. A report published by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry in November 2011 found that the Al Khalifa regime had used excessive force in the crackdown and accused Manama of torturing political activists, politicians, and protesters. The protesters say they will continue holding anti-regime demonstrations until their demand for the establishment of a democratically elected government is met. MP/AS

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally touched home ground this week following their lengthy stay in Australia, with the couple spotted arriving in Los Angeles yesterday with their brood of children following their long and exhausting flight.
Leading the family through LAX airport was 12 Years a Slave star Brad, 50, who walked alongside 10-year-old son Pax, leaving Angelina, 38, to keep a watchful eye on the rest of their brood, eldest son Maddox, 12, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and twins Knox and Vivienne, five.

The group, who looked tired after hours of flying and were escorted by airport staff safely to their getaway car while appearing to ignore the paparazzi, are no doubt pleased to be back home in the US after spending weeks living in Queensland where Angelina worked on her upcoming movie Unbroken, which she directed.
The Maleficent actress and the couple's children have been Down Under over the last few months while Brad flitted back and forth so juggle working on his movie projects and spending time with his family.

Angelina is said to have employed a cast and crew tally of 130 as they shot scenes for the World War II film around the Whitsundays area of North Queensland and despite the large work force, the picture got the seal of approval from the local mayor who applauded the actress for creating jobs and plummeting millions of dollars into the city.
With filming complete, Ange hosted a wrap party at the Shipwreck Bar & Grill restaurant in Queensland on Monday evening where she was spotted arriving hand in hand with fiance Brad, with the couple taking the time to greet the hordes of fans that had gathered to see them, shaking hands and allowing photos to be taken.

Adele Blakemore who owns the bar revealed that the couple couldn't keep away from each other throughout the evening and where very affectionate with one another.
"They didn't leave each other's side the whole night. They were holding hands when they walked up… and even thought they were mingling, they were pretty close together the whole night," Adele told the Mail Online, adding that they were "just beautiful" and looked "absolutely" in love.

Jillian Dempsey For Avon Horizon Blush
You may recall my babblings about Jillian Dempsey's new blush from Avon a week or so ago! Having temporary memory lost? Click here!
The Muse was lucky enough to test out this new blush and can I just say one thing, AWESOME! Oh my god it's my holy grail blush *holds it close and never lets it go*.
Ok you shouldn't be sitting here reading this anymore! RUN! NOW! Get to Avon and order it! It's awesome! It's on sale this week…am I tempting you yet?
Avon and I have a strange relationship. I pretend to hate it and it surprises me with sweetly awesome products!
This blush is sincerely amazing. I'm shocked and delighted at the quality, the price, the pigmentation, and the awesome packaging!
Let me start by saying that I'm hyperventilating a little bit because it appears that Avon only has this in one of the two shades. I could be in panic mode at any given moment if I'm unable to get the other color! In my possession I have Apricot Horizon but the blush is also available in Pink Horizon and I needs it, I needs it NOW!
I'm not sure if Pink Horizon sold out but I sincerely doubt it as it just hit the Avon site not a few days ago. Maybe it's just not yet in stock? Believe me I'm at a stage where I'm searching E-bay for it so you know I'm seriously into this blush right?
First of all let's give props to Jillian Dempsey for not only having a super hot husband but for also creating killer blush! I love you Jill, I love your husband more, but I definately have love for you after trying out this blush!
The blush is a gradation blush that gradually goes from a lighter shade to a darker shade in the compact. This basically means one side is really vibrant while the other is very soft. You can go from a daytime look to an evening look with a quick swipe of your blush! Both sides are extremely pigmented, silky, and beautiful on. Whether you want to use one side of the blush or mix it up and swipe across both sides you'll get a gorgeous splash of color. When I was testing this I felt like mixing the colors up gave me the best look. The color is entitled Apricot Horizon but I get more of a pink feel from it with a tiny underlay of a deep, sunset coral. If I use the left hand side of the palette I end up with a rather subdued natural look but if I use the right hand side I get a vibrant, yummie flushed look that I favor! As you know the Muse prefers her blush "popping"! If I mix the two up I feel like the lighter shade really calms the darker shade and I get the near perfect color that makes me look like I just stepped inside from a cold Winter's night! This is a look I favor so it's pure perfection for me!
Swatchy! (My cam takes crummy pics when it comes to swatches but hope this helps some!)
The compact is quite a lovely slick affair and when opened it has a large mirror with Jillian's signature on it. The blush is pretty large for the price of $7.99 USD (regularly $10 USD) so you do get quite a nice bit of product for under 10 bucks! It comes with a brush but it deserves to be said that the brush isn't all that great. It sheds and it's just too small to really work the blush correctly. If you use this to blend you must be a master artist because I ended up looking like a clown when I applied with it! A big, poofy brush is recommended for use with the blush in the Muse's humble opinion!
I have one very tiny minor rant about this. It's pure perfection in a compact however I found that when using my MAC 129 (or even the brush it came with for that matter) I ended up with major powder burst overload. Swiping the brush across the blush caused a major cloud of blush to spill everywhere! I'm saddened to think how much product I am wasting each time I use the blush
Now I'm going to tell you something that'll knock your socks off. Get two. Seriously I'm totally ordering another one of these bad boys. I dunno if this is LE but it's a safe bet to say in a month or so you probably won't find it on Avon so might as well get two while the going is good. It's rare I do backups on anything. I have far too much product to enjoy and buying doubles in my case is ridiculous. But I highly suggest grabbing two! I'm all over ordering another one and please for the love of cosmetics can we please see that Pink Horizon in stock soon? I'm dying here!
All I can say is fab job on this Avon and Jillian! I hope to see Jillian create more products for Avon like this one in the future!
This blush is most definately Muse Approved for purchase!
3/5/08 8:45 Kate:
Hi Muse. THis is Kate. Thanks for your recommedation, but on Avon's website, only Apricot Horizon is available. How did you get the Pink Horizon?? I am so jealous. Maybe I should wait until pink horizon is available. That really looks good on the picture.
3/5/08 8:51 the Muse:
hi kate!
This is Apricot Horizon. I'm sadly unable to locate Pink Horizon and I'm desperately looking for it!
GRRRRR! Where or where is it
Definitely get this if you like the looks of it as this is Apricot Horizon
It's an awesome blush I'm really loving it!
3/5/08 8:55 Kitty:
Really? I am so surprised, cus the color on the website really looks deak and bronzy. If this is the Apricot, I am definitely going to have it. Thanks. *hugs*
3/5/08 8:58 the Muse:
it is indeed kitty
It does look kinda strange on the website but this is indeed the peachy Apricot Horizon that's pictured on the site 😉
You needs it.
It does appear very dark on my swatches but it applies naturally and beautifully!
Let me know when you get it curious what you think!
Hugs right back to you 😉
3/5/08 9:19 Allysia-May:
The colour swatches look really good but i think i'm about to give up on blush. Whatever colour goes on my skin either ends up invisible or i look like a scare crow. Ha!
You're very right about Avon brushes though, i've got some and they're absolutely crap as they were shedding from the minute i started using them. But i guess it's the price we pay for them having really good products at an affordable price.
The best part is you can return them after testing. I hope Jillian comes out with more LE stuff as she's their resident makeup artist.
3/5/08 9:35 the Muse:
Hey girlie!
I think it might be flattering on your deep skin tone! Have you tried stains? Those seem to work well for me and are long lasting plus they look natural 😉
My sister is a very deep color and she's like you, has a hard time finding blush that suits her!
The brush is awful But I don't think it's practical to use anyway as it's so tiny!
I hope she does too as if this blush is anything to go by then we are in for some great treats 😉
3/5/08 9:37 Toya:
I actually have Pink Horizon in my possession! I haven't tried it yet, but look for a review on my site in the next few days!
3/5/08 9:41 the Muse:
You lucky girl! I've been searching high and low! Do tell us when you review as I'll link back to you so people can see your take on Pink Horizon!
3/5/08 9:50 Liz:
I was intrigued when you first posted the news. And now I'm very interested! But Avon is not available to me in Ireland. Oh wells, I look forward to pictures of you with the blush on!
3/5/08 9:52 the Muse:
hey liz
I'm going to order a 2nd one shortly and I'm just sorta biding my time awaiting the second color. So if you need any help getting it I'll do my best to help you out 😉
Thanks for your post! If you don't want my help I'd suggest trying e-bay as many sellers will ship airmail 😉
Hope this helps you find it love!
3/5/08 9:53 the Muse:
btw I had no idea you were in Ireland!
3/5/08 10:13 Dalenna:
Hey Muse!
I actually have both. I got my Pink Horizon from Ebay for something ridiculous like $4.99 plus a miniscule shipping. Try Ebay! And yes, I do like the blush indeed. Very silky and smooth, I'm impressed. I am surprised though to know what you got was the Apricot Horizon, because it looks just like the Pink Horizon with just a tiny touch of coral. Hmm…may be I'm colorblind. Let me look at my Pink Horizon again later.
3/5/08 10:28 Liz:
Hey, yeah, my brother told me about the snow in NY last week. Snow may be pretty but it's a pain to shove!
I just got my MAC blushcreme today! I'm not much of a blush girl, so let me try this new one I have and see how I get on. Who knows, I might be a convert. 😉 But THANKS SO MUCH for offering to hook me up!! You are such a sweetheart!!! <3
3/5/08 12:07 the Muse:
Hey D!
You suck! You're such a tease 😉 hehehe! Can you, by chance, give me the ebay seller's nick? Love to see if she has the anymore of the pink and the apricot for that matter as I want another one 😉
I'm shocked too as it looks like the pink to me too!!!!!!!
It's really great though!
3/5/08 12:08 the Muse:
hey liz!
holy cows we had a bit of the white stuff 😉
It sure is! I have a huge driveway to shovel UGH! Horror!
Sure sure Anytime at all!
*mwah* Enjoy your MAC 😉
3/5/08 13:34 Dalenna:
Hey Muse!
Sure thing! Her nick is "scents-n-such" – very fast shipping! Check her out 😀 Good luck! Next time I see one I'll just grab it for you 😀
3/5/08 18:12 Kaoru:
Now you're making me want AVON products… the last time I used any of those was back when I was a kid, and my mom would give me free samples.
Hmm… but I could use a new blush…
3/5/08 18:40 Dalenna:
Muse, guess what, my Avon order came today 😀 Oh, and in the catalogue book included with my order, they are offering BOTH the pink and apricot horizon blushes for $7.99 😀 If you got your apricot horizon from Avon.com, you should have a catalogue included with your order too. May be look through it?
3/5/08 21:09 the Muse:
hey Dalenna!
Thanks babe! I'll check her out
AWW your a sweet *mwah*
3/5/08 21:10 the Muse:
hi Kaoru!
LOL I create the evil lemmings
I tell you I've tried the Rowley Collection and this so far and Avon has come a long way! Not too bad a product at all lately!
It's worth a try at the price!
3/6/08 0:09 Dalenna:
Yes, 'mam! This weekend okay? I'll post 'em just for you, miss Muse.
3/6/08 0:51 psychoexgirlfriend:
Good Grief, that blush sure is pretty. I love bright blushes and this definitely fits the bill
3/7/08 8:59 the Muse:
Thanks D!
That's perfectly alrighty 😉
I can't wait to see!
3/7/08 9:01 the Muse:
hey psychoexgirlfriend!
Me too I adore bright bold blushes!
So fresh!
9/22/10 18:55 Ozma:
I am just now reading this post – Did you ever get your Pink Horizon? I looked on the Avon.com and couldn't find it, but I just bought Apricot Horizon on eBay. lol But no Pink Horizon to be found. Is there really a big difference?

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who can't decide if he wants to anger Kentucky's fiscal conservatives by directly insulting them or merely by being patronizing, is already facing a significant primary challenge from the right this year. And the challenger, Matt Bevin, keeps picking up the kind of endorsements that bring the primary into sharper focus as a voter referendum on the future of the GOP establishment in Washington, D.C.
Bevin, a businessman and former Army captain, received an endorsement Wednesday from FreedomWorks, the conservative nonprofit instrumental in the success of other GOP insurgents like Senator Mike Lee (Utah).
Judging from its official statement, the group's endorsement is as much a ringing condemnation of McConnell as it is a warm embrace for Bevin. Even though there's no reason to suspect any tension between Bevin and his new, influential backer, it's clear FreedomWorks has set out to reflect Kentucky voters' disgust with McConnell's tenure in the Senate.
"For far too long Mitch McConnell has sat on the sidelines of pivotal fights, helping the Democrats pass unprecedented surveillance powers, the TARP/Wall Street bailout, numerous tax hikes and debt ceiling increases, and Medicare Part D," said FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe. "… Now more than ever, we need strong fiscal conservatives who will fight to cut spending on the front lines, not the sidelines. Matt Bevin is a great upgrade for Kentuckians who are serious about transparency, fiscal responsibility and accountability in government."
The support comes with a tangible benefit for the Bevin campaign: money. FreedomWorks for America, a "super PAC" that has spent more than $19 million on Congressional races since 2011, will spend who-knows-how-much money to unseat McConnell. (It's already spent more than $1 million apiece on six separate Congressional candidates in the two short years since the PAC was first created.)
McConnell's response to the news was predictable: FreedomWorks is just riding the Tea Party train.
"[I]nstead of standing with Kentucky conservatives, a group that used to pride itself on grassroots empowerment has endorsed a self-funding New England millionaire who takes taxpayer bailouts and falsely claims he attended MIT," said a McConnell campaign spokeswoman.
Bevin has an uphill climb to unseat an entrenched incumbent with strong establishment support. But to get a taste of how far the McConnell camp is having to reach in order to come up with bogus ad hominem barbs in the early going, check this out.

Comments about SKB Flute Cases:
Please spend your money on something else. I bought six of these for my middle school students and within a week, three of them were broken. The small metal rod that holds the back hinge together slides out extremely easily. Sure, easy enough to fix (slide it back in) but that's not what I paid for. And besides, once the metal rod gets lost (as it inevidibly will do) there's no fixing it. Spend a few more bucks and get something decent.

BERLIN, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Two of Berlin's largest biomedical research centers are merging to form the Berlin Institute of Health (BHI), a joint venture that will receive at least 300 million euros in new funding over the next five years. This makes Berlin an even more significant and attractive research site, not only in the field of biomedicine. This is happening at the right time, for an aging demographic means that there is an increasing demand for health care products and services. Germany Trade & Invest will have experts at this year's MEDICA, the world's largest health fair, from November 14 to 17 to inform visitors about the industry's latest business opportunities.
"The BHI will make Berlin one of the world's top sites for medical excellence and will attract the world's best scientists and junior doctors. The partnership between the Berlin state and federal government has created an exemplary model of cooperation between university and non-university research. Germany has a globally recognized biomedical sector, and it will only improve due to the Institute's innovative models to train medical talent," said Dr. Sandra Bütow, chemical and health expert at Germany Trade & Invest.
Germany is renowned for its effective public-private partnerships such as the Central Innovation Program SME, a country-wide support measure that provides sustainable support to the innovative capabilities and competiveness of small- and medium-sized enterprises. Participants include businesses and researchers from the health and wellness industry who collaborate in order to find innovative and value-added healthcare solutions.
General Electric has also seized on the market opportunity in Germany due to its infrastructure, research and development and changing demographic. Their objective is to powerfully expand its medical division and establish close partnerships with university hospitals.

So I had a lesson on Murray yesterday, which didn't last very long. We were working outside when the troubles began. Tracy, a lady who rides Charity, came early for her lesson. Charity was acting up strange, but Sue said to work around her. Then she fell in the barn. So Sue tried to pull Char up, Tracy was running to the house phone while I got my cell phone and called the vet. After we got her up we got her walking around and waiting for vet Julie to come. Turns out not colic, but gas. So we walked her around alot (I ended up putting Murray away afterwards since my lesson was done for the day). Char went down a few times, but we all got her up and walking. I haven't heard from Sue yet if she is ok, so when I do there today, I hope to see my girl ok and well. =]
Ok, so some pictures for you all to see!
