A carefully designed landscape for a business premises is critical in advancing its brand and reflecting the seriousness of the management. In the hospitality industry, how the visitors find the lawn helps in drawing conclusions about a hotel or restaurant even before being served with meals or booking in. It is from theseconsiderations that landscaper Essendon come in handy to help advance a business goals and brand. Here is an account of how they assist your business brand and faster realization of its potential.
Landscaping involves careful designing of different items in the compound to give a business complete sense of uniqueness. Through colours, live lawns, and pool designs and constructions, your business will look elegant and attractive to clients. To an exterior designer, his work is simply bringing out a business theme and using it as a marketing tool to draw clients. A good example is a well deigned landscape for a weekend getaway restaurant in the countryside. With its appearance in marketing magazines and even online adverts, more people will be attracted to visit whenever they have some extra time.
When you decide to hire experts in landscape construction in Hills District, they tell you that every client always wants to be associated with a serious business. As clients enter your office, they want to be treated with respect, urgency, and with special focus on details. For a building construction retailer, clients need to be shown different types of material samples and get assisted to make the right decision. This seriousness is easily delivered by the landscape you adopt in the business premises. A building outlet with a good landscape can easily display all the items to help clients make their decisions faster. If you decide to landscape your business, make sure to consult a professional in order to understand how to reinforce your brand.
A landscape is a tool used to drive a competitive advantage in any business. When the lawn of a restaurant leading to main dining and guestrooms are carefully designed with over wintering naturally flowering plants and carefully selected lights, it becomes easy to convince corporate, couples, and other merry makers to come to your venue. The serene environment is used to deliver a special sense of greatness that everybody to be associated with. The secret of landscape design in Sydney Hills has become very critical in helping businesses rejuvenate their sales and profitability.
The ultimate value of a carefully landscaped business goes higher compared to others. The landscaped compound together with other exterior decor holds a specially hidden value that defines it. A client visiting the business will get a feeling that the landscaped business is immense and capable of meeting all that he wants by simply looking at the compound. This is evident as clients get special connection with outdoor decorations and always ask to hold their transactions there. Always remember that when you want to succeed in any business, you must start with the image that the client gets when he looks at you. Go for the best landscaping expert and discuss the best method of strengthening your brand.

Food&HotelAsia2016 - The Asian Palate Going Forward
SINGAPORE - What will the Asian food and hotel scene be like in the near future? According to a recent report, investment in the Asia Pacific hotel market was US$3.3 billion in the first half in 2014. In those first six months, Southeast Asian investors completed 38 per cent of all deals in Asia. These trends point to a promising future in the region for the food and hotel industries.
FHA2016 (Food&HotelAsia2016) spoke to Mr. Otto Weibel, Director of Ottscott, WACs Approved Judge and Overall Chief Judge at the FHA Culinary Challenge 2016, to get his insights into the factors that will affect the food and hospitality sector in Singapore and the region.
Millennials - the fickle consumer
The Millennials, consumers aged between 15 and 35, continue to be one of the main target groups for F&B companies. Now accounting for about a third of the global population, they are tech savvy and socially engaged. The Millennials are also well informed, keen to try something different and are generally less brand loyal than older consumers. Mr. Weibel believes that most consumers, not just the Millennials, are spoilt for choice and this is a worldwide trend, not just in Asia.
Otto: People have so many choices. They want to try everything until they like something. It is like, any new restaurant, any new form of entertainment, people are going to check it out. Particularly for an expensive restaurant, you see all the same people.
Personally, I don't think there is much loyalty to restaurants. There are some who say, "That is my restaurant, I am going to go there as many times as possible" but their choices are often dependent on their colleagues, friends or family. I don't hear them saying, "Oh, I only go to this restaurant".
There are a few restaurants that I prefer and patronise more than others. When I hear there is a new restaurant opening and has earned some good reviews, I will definitely want to try it out. This is not only in Asia but worldwide. People want to experience new things and it is not limited to the food, it is the atmosphere, layout of the restaurant and so on. People love to go to restaurants that have beautiful surroundings and where you feel comfortable and good.
The impact of marketing
Otto: In New York, many people talk about restaurants because of aggressive marketing and advertising. There are restaurants in London and New York that are not great, but their marketing is so strong. I don't think Asian food establishments have put in the same level of publicity, something which is lacking particularly for world-class establishments. I believe our (Singapore) food is as good as in many of the world-class cities, and we surpass in the wide variety of food choices available here.
Singapore has one of the best three national teams in international competitions. After the team returns from winning a world cup, there is little coverage of the achievement in local newspapers. When Switzerland or Norway wins, they receive pages of coverage, they throw parties, and they are received by the President. In comparison, when Singapore comes in second or first, there is hardly any fanfare.
Another example, Thai food is already world-class and can be found all over the world. But when you look in 2014's S. Pellegrino's World's Best 50 Restaurants there are few listings from Thailand, although the number one spot for Best Restaurant in Asia which is also No. 13 on the World's Best 50 actually went to Thailand.
More needs to be done to raise the awareness and educate the locals. How many know that Singapore is world champion in cooking? Believe me, not many. But when you go to Norway, the whole of Norway knows. They are superstar chefs - this is the difference.
Future of Asia's food scene
Otto: In other parts of Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Vietnam are considered now up and coming. Locals are becoming more affluent and sophisticated and are willing to spend more on good food. Many F&B players are entering the market and in three or four years, there will be an even bigger scene for restaurants. I was in Jakarta recently and I saw a lot of new restaurants coming up already. It will take time but they will catch up with their peers in the region.
In ten years from now, I believe Asian cuisine will be one of the best in the world. I have been in Asia for twenty five years and I have witnessed its development. Now, everyone wants to be in Asia. We have many good Asian chefs as they have in New York and Melbourne. Definitely in terms of variation, we are far out and now already the best. In terms of quality, we are good but there is room to become better.
Strong support for Food&HotelAsia
Otto: FHA is very important because it brings people from the world together, as well as the newest techniques available globally. It is particularly useful for the chefs to network - they can go around and check out the latest equipment on the market and they can engage directly with the equipment maker or distributor.
Chefs can also browse from a wide range of food ingredients from all over the world. We get to see, touch and try it out. FHA brings the world much closer together and I think this is what makes the event great. Without this trade exhibition, we will be far from what we are today. I love FHA as I get to see so many new things under one roof, and meet a lot of old and new friends. FHA and chefs like me work in unison - it is fantastic as we share a common vision to create more awareness of, and promote the food and hospitality industries in the region.

"Visiting a patient 26th September 2014"
About: Weston General Hospital Weston General Hospital Weston-Super-Mare BS23 4TQ
Posted by Anonymous
Whilst visiting our Grandad, on the evening of the 26th within the short space of time that the family was there we witnessed disgusting disregard to other 2 patients dignity. Both asking for help to get to the toilet. Not at the same time I might add. Being that we were in the neighbouring bed, we went to the nurses station and mentioned that these 2 people needed help and being flippantly told "yeah" in an uncaring manner and then they carried on with their personal chat about their private lives l, which meant both men had accidents. Now I know you will argue the point of staff cuts and I know that nurses are underpaid and overworked. But pass this on, the country needs to have more nurses to be able to cope with the high needs of our sick elderly patients. Everyone has the right to be able to use the toilet when they need to. I was overwhelmed with emotion by my visit experience, Weston Super mare hospital. Not a nice place for elderly patients.
Response from Weston General Hospital 2 years ago
We are very dissapointed to read your post as the dignity and well-being of our patients is our top priority at Weston General Hospital. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. It would help us enormously if you could let us know which ward your grandfather was on so that we can look into this further. If you prefer you can contact our PALS department (Patient Advice and Liaison Service) who are our patient advocates and they will liaise with the hospital for you. You can contact them online here http://www.waht.nhs.uk/en-GB/Our-Services/Non-Clinical-Services/Patient-Advice-and-Liaison-Service-PALS/.

In this episode, more questions are asked, but only a teaspoon of answers are supplied.
Subaru makes a wonderful come back in this episode, as she delivers a monologue that would have all your previous hate for this character melt away. Sora, whom was being set up to receive his end of karma. Just when you think he's turns to the right side, that glimpse is taken aback with a depressing notion.
This is not an entire project, just the prequel to end. Instead of asking the local questions, questions that you would never have thought an anime could provide are asked. Though answers are sparse, and located within either the games or another anime, you'll find yourself glad that you had witness the stone in motion. And that stone doesn't look like it'll be slowing down any time soon!

(For reference, I am 16)
I am a high school student (second year) and most of the kids I go to school with are in a relationship/sexualy active. They all think it is strange that I have never had my first kiss, and that I've never had a boyfriend. Personally, I am not attracted to any of the boys at my school... I tend to like older guys, I am talking about 20 years and older. I feel a bit left behind, and my peers pressure me to say "yes" to guys all the time, but I just feel awkward. All they want to do is kiss and "get from base to base" so they can high five their friends later, and they expect me to be attracted to them when they don't take care of themselves and get high every lunch.
Sometimes, I feel like a 30 year old stuck in a teenagers body. Can any other girls relate to this? Or do I have impossibly high standars?
Please lend some insight on whether or not I should indulge more in my peers behaviours.. Thank you!
Most Helpful Guy
You obviously shouldn't give in to peer pressure. Do what YOU feel is right and not what others want you to do.
Also it is not uncommon for girls to like older guys. Usually in the realm of 2-5 years older. Anything older than that can hint to some deeper lying issues, like being very insecure and wanting someone to take your hand and lead you with his experience and taking responsibility of you, etc. and/or daddy-issues.11|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I feel you girl. I really do. I've had a guy who likes me tell me I talk like an 80 year old sometimes. On the contrary I'm also called a little kid a lot. But I think it's completely okay to wait for the right time and person. There is no point of rushing into a relationship for douse bags in society. Live free and let people think what they have to. Stay awesome. When the right guy comes it'll all happen. Rushing into sex is really stupid. Kids around you probably just aren't mature enough to to understand the seriousness of it.11|00|0

In the collection's "nomadic" spirit, the stool functions well in any room in the house, although it was designed to be used with the desk.

Portable Atelier: a capsule collection of co-branded design objects Driade is presenting the première of a new collection of objects and furnishing accessories created in partnership with Moleskine, a company that has always created tools to encourage creativity, such as the iconic notebook. The Portable Atelier collection designed by the French designer Philippe Nigro reflects and underscores the values shared by the two brands - love for culture, creativity, and attention to personal identity - to create a playful project that is also elegant and timeless. The collection includes a line of desk furnishings and accessories, created with the idea of making a "nomadic" study and/or workstation that can be moved from place to place in the home or office. These simple elegant objects were designed to define and customise our personal workspace and turn it into an inspiring journey. A small, lightweight desk with a flap top that can hold a laptop, sheets of paper and wires. Pen holders and storage boxes in wood and metal are for personalising the space with different shapes and colours. An adjustable stool goes everywhere with the desk or can be moved independently for dynamic, improvised seating. A shelf made of wood and metal fitted with sliding elements is ideal for furnishing tables and desks to create a defined personal space anywhere. These are the features of Portable Atelier. We will be getting a sneak peek at the larger project that will be developed in time, which will be distributed simultaneously by the two brands.

text: I've been a fan of MK ever since I first saw somebody do Sonya Blade's kiss of death fatality in a Bowling Ally back in early '94. I admit when they make huge changes to certain aspects of the game it can be annoying but it's not like the end of the world. I've been following the conversions on the official forums for the new game and it continues to be fans acting like children over such things as the Cyber Sub-Zero extra and when they think that Shao Kahn or Kintaro will not be playable. It's these boss character whiners that are the most obnoxious.. through out game design history Boss characters have barely ever been playable and when they are they are after thoughts having very few if any moves and animations and a general imbalance in their gameplay since they were never designed to be normal player characters in the first place. When they made Shao Kahn and Goro fully playable in Deception for the GameCube it was a nice addition however it didn't make or break the game. When I see people bitching about Kintaro possibly not being playable and screaming 'boycott', "i'm gonna cancel my preorder!", and "I'm not buying the game if i can't play as so and so" it's rediculous.. I don't see how the exclusion of one character could make the experience totally unenjoyable especially when they are characters that have never been staples of playable content.

Holes can be drilled by a drill press onto a precise depth. This tool works with belts and pulleys. A motor drives chuck and the quill to whirl. The bit is held by the chuck. The bit will drop onto the wood, when the lever is pulled down.
A drill press got two principal kinds: the floor model as well as the seat top. It comes with motors of to 1 hp using a 5 to 12 speed setting. Mortise-machine-like function is realized when pocket hole machine and a spindle sander are attached.

Discussion in 'The Howard Stern Show' started by dawg, Aug 29, 2016.
Well this should be a nice calm thread.
That progeria looking douche has always creeped me out. Fuck'em and the horse he rode in on.
"And let's burn 'em in Boston too!"
hope he gets put on waivers and has to play in Canadian football league....
This is going to be a fun story to follow as the season goes on,chip kelly was called a racist by former eagle players now he gets to deal with this idiot and not appear racist.The media is pouring gas all over this
Free Speech
What a fool.
This whole controversy is boring to me. If I'm a Niners fan, I wouldn't care whether he stands or sits for the Anthem. I'd be more worried if he can read a coverage and run an offense.
I'm bored w/ the 1st verse of the National Anthem. It's time we start off w/ the 4th verse. Rotate it a little bit.
The oppressive government should charge him his guaranteed salary of 11.9 million this year for all the free American air that giant hook schnoz is sucking up every day. He sucks, and I'm not saying that because of the anthem bullshit. He won't see the field this year. Put his seat on the bench as close to the fans as possible so he can hear all of his fellow Americans supporting him in his fight against the racist police (who ironically will be there protecting him).

Since its Kickstarter page went live nearly a month ago, the Oculus Rift has turned the heads of game developers and enthusiasts alike. The advanced virtual reality headset has already piqued the interest of PC gaming legend like id Software's John Carmack, as well as several other developers and companies.
In only a few short weeks, the small company has managed to rack up over $2 million in pledges — 8x more than it had originally planned to receive. With the sheer number of supporters for the upcoming product, there is little doubt that the gaming world is finally ready to surpass 3D stereoscopic viewing, and jump into the 100+ degree viewing range of the Oculus Rift.
So, too, is Adhesive Games. The developer recently announced full support for the Oculus Rift, and plans to ensure that its upcoming mech combat title, Hawken, is one of the first games to use the Oculus SDK. Though the free-to-play multiplayer project officially launches on December 12th, there is no ship date for the virtual reality hardware as of yet — though it is also assumed to be in December. Built on Unreal Engine technology, Hawken is primed to spark interest and showcase what the Oculus hardware is capable of achieving. Adhesive Games also plans having the Oculus dev team be the first people to play the game, making sure that the cooperation between software and hardware is fluid and seamless.
id Software has also been a powerful ally in pushing the Oculus Rift to the mainstream, and plans to launch Doom 3: BFG Edition and the much-anticipated Doom 4 with full VR support, which will certainly help make the hardware more accessible to FPS players. While there is currently no question that this is a product people want, only time will tell if the experience will be worth the wait — and the money invested. Fortunately, some of the heavy hitters in the video game industry have already been singing Oculus Rift's praises, with not only game developers but critics standing behind it.
What do you think, Ranters: does the idea of controlling a VR headset controlling a character controlling a giant bad-ass robot sound totally awesome? Or, are you waiting for the dust to settle before buying into the hardware? There are only a few days left until the Oculus Rift Kickstarter is closed, but a pledge of $300 or more will guarantee you get your hands on a dev kit and Doom 3: BFG.
Hawken is set to release December 12, 2012, on PC, with the Oculus Rift probably not far behind.

I never date a guy and I never had a boyfriend. Whenevever I have a crush on a guy, I would think that he wouldn't have any interest in me. My stomach and heart will also hurt while I am thinking that. But I don't know what the real reason for the pain, and why it occurred whenever I think about kissing a guy; holding hands with a guy and doing other romantic stuff with him.

text: Teva Respiratory announced today the availability of ProAir ® HFA with dose counter for use in patients 4 years of age and older, for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm with reversible obstructive airway disease and for the prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB). The availability of ProAir ® HFA with dose counter supports the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) recommendations for such mechanisms, as a means for patients and caregivers to track the number of doses remaining in their inhaler, thus reducing the risk of utilizing an inhaler that no longer contains the medication required at the onset of asthma symptoms. "As the market leader in quick-relief inhalers, we are pleased to offer patients the latest in product enhancements designed to help better manage their condition," said Tushar Shah, MD, Senior Vice President, Teva Global Respiratory Research and Development. "This milestone in the ProAir ® brand shows our continued efforts to deliver the best treatment solutions that meet patients' or their caregivers' needs." On March 7, 2012, the FDA approved ProAir ® HFA with a dose counter. Teva spent the months following FDA approval manufacturing a substantial inventory of ProAir ® HFA with dose counter, ensuring a full conversion of supply and product availability to patients. According to the FDA, inhalers without dose counters can present an issue for patients or caregivers as they can be left to guess how many doses remain. Without a dose counter, patients or caregivers may either throw away an inhaler that hasn't been fully utilized or use an inhaler beyond the recommended number of doses and risk receiving the incorrect amount of medication or no medication at all. "Symptoms of asthma and COPD are unpredictable. It's critical that patients know that their quick acting inhaler is dispensing properly and has an adequate number of doses left," said Dr. John Given, ProAir ® HFA with dose counter clinical trial investigator and respiratory specialist at The Allergy, Respiratory and Sleep Center in Canton, OH. "Using an inhaler without sufficient dosage is potentially dangerous because a full dose plays a vital role in treatment. That's why a reliable and precise dose counter like the one incorporated into the new ProAir ® HFA is crucial for effective and safe treatment of the symptoms of asthma and COPD." ProAir ® HFA was first approved by the FDA in October 2004 for treatment or prevention of bronchospasm with reversible obstructive airway disease in adults and children 12 years of age and older. In September 2008, the FDA expanded the indication for use in patients as young as age 4. About Asthma Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the large and small airways that may cause recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and coughing. Without appropriate treatment, asthma symptoms may become more severe and result in an asthma attack, which can lead to hospitalization and even death.

Bead Weaving, Social Market for a Mirrix: Brenda Kigozi
I finished it!!
If you recall, I was working on AA geometric pattern belt when Social market for a Mirrix came to an end. Well, I finished it in the nick of time – specifically, the day I was to wear it is when I finished it! All due to a bit of procrastination and boredom if I'm honest. Working in just two colours on such a large(r) scale became monotonous!
If I had thought and planned better, I could have had both halves on at the same time. However, what I did do was to weave in those ends as I went along. And it was sooo much nicer to cut it off the loom and have only one…or two weft ends to weave in!!
In any case, I LOVED it. It's nice and comfy, and looks good with my little black dress.
I even went to the trouble of modelling….after some requests! I figured if I'm doing it I might as well do it properly! This is only my second self portrait. It was a quick edit so will need redoing when I have time to sit down properly. In the meantime this will do 🙂
Thanks for reading, and enjoy your evening.
Social Market for a Mirrix: Brenda Kigozi, Tapestry Weaving
They say time flies
When you're having fun. And the Social market for a Mirrix has been just that…if you scrap the fear! It feels like yesterday when I was one of the chosen ones! I have to admit, at first I thought I'd chewed off more than I could handle. But it's been great!! It's helped me enjoy weaving even more…as if that were possible!
It forced me to weave regularly! Yes, that is a good thing 🙂 I sometimes become lax when I've been working on something for a while. Having to blog regularly meant I had to have done something!
Lastly, I've (somewhat) conquered my fear of doing videos for YouTube. I really do hope the ones I did we're useful and helpful.
The one thing that I refuse to let beat me is beadweaving with the shedding device. Yes, that old chestnut. I WILL try until I get it. Lets hope that's sooner rather than later though! I become more frustrated each time I fail. I don't want to end up a mess lying in my own puddle of tears! Ok that is quite an exaggeration.
The good thing about the Mirrix is its' multi-purposeness. In future I hope I can do some (basic) tapestry weaving. For now I have plenty of projects I need to get on with. As a last show, I took the first half of the belt off the loom. The warps on the end are almost done sorting. The others will be needed to join this to the other section. I'm still debating whether to edge it or not. I hope to wear it on a week from the coming Saturday! Must. Weave. Fast! 🙂
It has been a worthwhile and fulfilling journey. Hopefully I can continue in the same vein. Thank you for reading, commenting and watching. And for providing motivation when I lost it sometimes. It doesn't end here – you cn check on me at http://brendakbeading.blogspot.com
Happy reading, beading, weaving and ciao all!
Social Market for a Mirrix: Brenda Kigozi
Finally something for me!
Ok, that's not entirely true! The first project I wove on the loom was to be a bracelet for me. But it's still languishing in a drawer unfinished! I'm not one to wear much jewellery – necklaces and bracelets. Day to day I only wear stud earrings (yes, very plain!) plus my wedding and engagement rings. If we are going somewhere and I (try to) dress up, I'll wear the drop earrings I made.
So, I figured I would Mae something that's a little more functional. I've got a little black dress (with a hint of white) that has belt loops. But I don't have the belt to go with it. The only one I have us cream, that wont work!. As mentioned before, I was in a bead shop for something else when I spotted the buckle. I hadn't thought about doing a belt, but did when I saw it.
All that remained was to come up with a design. Being just two colours, it was going to be easy enough. I first wanted to design for a scroll like pattern. I played (very briefly) in Photoshop but figured it's not how I want to do it. So I just went into BeadTool. I played with circles then diamonds before I settled on the final pattern.
I'd measured the length I need, and calculated five repeats of the design would give the required length. So far i have completed one repeat. And there is a (minor) MISTAKE! I could easily correct it but I'm not going to.
I'm making use of advancing the beadwork. The loom doesn't give me enough length to work the belt in one go, and I've yet to make extenders for it. So the beadwork will be moved to the back as I weave (bottom up). I'll work half the length then cut off and work the other half. Joining isn't daunting anymore so will be just fine.
Then it went wrong! I don't know why but one of the sheds just refused to set itself. I had to fidget with it, and even then it wasn't correct. So I cut it all off and went back to the usual method. I will try again, but with something narrower and not so important!
On another note, I went to a local bead shop hoping to buy more DB1765 for the fringe on the purse, but they don't stock it. I had to order it online (and it arrived on Friday). But, I did get a cone of black Nymo! That should keep me going for a while yet 🙂
In the meantime, today I'll be resting and visiting our friends. It's a miserable day but I'm feeling chirpy! Enjoy yours 🙂

The worst is over!
I'm over the worst of it, yay!!! I sewed the lining on Friday, and also shortened the zip. I couldn't find a zip the right length, and the closest one wasn't the look I wanted.
There was some redrawing of the measurements on the lining before i could cut it.
Anyway, I sewed the zip to the lining on the third attempt. Yes, that says the third attempt! That was after having a little trouble winding the bobbin! While doing all this, I was reminded of the fact I don't like sewing! But needs must so I gritted my teeth and got on with it. Sewing the other seams closed was easy enough. And, stitching the lining into the purse was also easy. I thought that would be a nice video to do.
Because I was working on a black background (the lining and zip) with black thread, I couldn't find a good enough angle to video while I stitched it in. So, I resorted to using close up photos. Hopefully they show the steps well enough.
Now, I need to do the handle and the fringe then I'll be done! I can't wait to see it all finished. I bought some Swarovski bicones, and what I'll be using for part of the handle. I went with the purse so I could pick colours correctly. Hopefully they will work out.
I managed to clear the loom this morning. So I can make a start on the Nelson Mandela bracelet. I'm just going to warp and make a start, with the face!! I just need to find one colour (DB357). I know I have it, just have to find t now!
Hopefully I'll have made enough progress to perhaps blog and share tomorrow. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy the video.
Have a good evening!
Bead Weaving, Social Market for a Mirrix: Brenda Kigozi, Uncategorized
Almost there
It's been a good week! I've made good progress on joining the sides of the purse. Since the last post, I've finished joining one side, and I'm left with about 1/4 on the other seam. And I have to say I like the way it's looking!
It was also easy enough to figure out how to stitch the peyote section and base together so it's completely sealed on the 'corners'. I took some close ups for when I have to the other side, and for future reference. Those extension tubes for my camera are very handy now!
I'm thinking about the strap/handle and fringe while I work. For the strap I'm thinking perhaps this. I'll leave you to imagine what it may look like 🙂
I haven't had time to work on those bracelets and the strip for the violin yet. I work an extra day from home now, so it's one less day of beading. But more money at least 🙂 I've been waking up by about 7:10 these days to get some in before the minis wake up. I've also learnt to take (more) regular breaks. So now I (try to) bead for about 15-20mins then break for about 5-10mins. I find it hard to start-stop so much, but I shall just grin and bear it because it's for my benefit.
This morning as has become my routine, I woke early and worked on joining the side. I managed to do quite a bit but had to put away for work and then having my hair done. I would have gone back to it this evening but my thumb is feeling the strain!
I have a commission to start planning for. It will be another (colour) portrait of newlyweds. I will probably try and work on the pattern over the coming days. I don't know if I'm allowed to share it online so, erring on the side of caution, I will keep it hidden unless I'm told otherwise.
Hopefully the next time I blog the seam will be done and I'll be doing the lining. The part I'm most dreading as it involves a sewing machine 😀 That grin is pure front! But good enough I have enough lining material to make mistakes!
Tomorrow is an early start so I bid you goodnight. Enjoy your Saturday 🙂

Thank goodness it's over
It's amazing how I fill my time, doing something with my hands. The forced rest was painful (in more ways than one)!. For the first time in years, I was bored!!! Yes, bored!! I played games, read, played more games. And I was still bored! It's been a while since I've been stuck for what to do. The real issue is my hands were idle. I stopped ALL activity to really rest my hands. Luckily it paid off and a few days later I was back on the horse. I've never been happier to pick up a needle!
I've been spending time reweaving the warps on the purse. I even worked on it on the bus journey home from work. Once, a last sat near me was impressed by it. She asked to hold it and seemed to enjoy the feel!
Anyway, I finished reweaving the ends and started joining the sides. With this one, I decided on odd-count peyote for the join. I like the solidness and sturdiness it affords. I got an idea for the strap while searching online for Swarovski crystal beads and pendants. I'll have to see the element in person so I can work out some measurements.
The fringe design is still eluding me. If anyone has any ideas I'd be glad to hear them. There is something I saw, but think t would be too chunky. I'll continue pondering on it, luckily there's still a little time.
I'll be starting the Nelson Mandela bracelet soon….or rather as soon as I empty the loom! So by Sunday it has to be freed up. I've got to buy one colour on Monday then I'll be good to go. I shifted the pattern down so the face would sit in the middle (thanks Noreen). But I've yet to decide what to do with the blank area above. Perhaps a bead soup could work…..I'll decide when I get to it.
I had a little shock when we got home from the beach on Sunday. My husband had cleared the 'cloakroom' and had put my violin in the corridor along with some other things that needed throwing away! It's a good thing he didn't do it that day, I would have been crying!! I've put it back where it was *sigh of relief*
So I have a lot of catching up to do. Hopefully Sunday I'll be more up to date. Till then, have a good evening.

Feel the pain and stop
Ive developed some stiffness in my right hand. I'm not sure if it's from weaving or just work and life in general. I don't really feel it unless I go to make a fist, stretch my fingers out or scratch!. It hasn't stopped me weaving. But what has is a recurring problem with the area beneath my thumb. I developed something like carpal tunnel syndrome shortly after the birth of my first child. I have since had it on and off. However, I noticed earlier this year that if I weave too much or for long periods at a time, I get pain in my thumb which travels downwards. No twinges or discomfort in the wrist, it's all in the thumb and the surrounding area. If I ignore it, it does become a nuisance so I have learnt to stop pretty much as soon as I feel any twinges. I bought this thumb splint which helps. But it's hard to wear it and weave – particularly if the metal is still in there. It's hard to get my hand behind the warps without slowly slotting it in – that just ruins my rhythm and becomes cumbersome! So I'll have to wait a day or two before I can do any more.
Anyway, having waffled on about why I can't weave, here is my progress so far. Not much has been done on the bracelet on the right. With the blues bracelet, I decided it would be easier to weave the pearls into the design once the sides are done. So now it's moving quicker and should hopefully be done soon, fingers crossed.
I've also made progress on the strip for the side of the violin. It's looking very pretty if I say so. I think I may also make some curtain ties using some of the designs but in different colours to suit the decor of the sitting room. I wanted to try advancing warps but it won't work because I started weaving at the top rather than the bottom. So that will be left for another time.
I'm thinking they would look nice as a camera strap as well. I think I'll make one for my brother, a nice surprise 🙂
Since I can't weave, I'll have to try and come up with some more designs! But hopefully I can show some progress by the weekend. Have a great evening!

A lightbulb moment
It's amazing what a bit of time away from something can make it 'click' when you get to trying it again! I felt this way the first time I tried tatting. I just couldn't get the knots to sit correctly. There was a lot of pulling hair (figuratively speaking of course), throwing the shuttles down in frustration, and scissor action! I put it away after being brought to the brink of tears of frustration. A short while later, having refused to be beaten, I tried again. AND SUCCEEDED! I don't know why or how, but it clicked.
So, I felt (almost) the very same thing when I first tried loom bead weaving with the shedding device. The first two rows were okay, but it was downhill from then on! I followed the instructions – specifically a Mirrix video on YouTube – but it just didn't seem to be working! I didn't want to up the frustration level so decided to just leave it for another time.
My loom is empty since I cut off the panel for the purse, so I thought I'd try loom bead weaving with the shedding device again. This time, I used double delicas (size 8), with Nymo for the weft and top stitch thread for the warps. I figured it would be easier to do with larger beads. So I set to warping, getting the shedding device and the heddles on with ease. I watched a recent video that concentrated on the weaving part, and wove as followed it. And guess what, it WORKED!!!! The beads were going into their spaces nicely, and there were none out of place at all!!!!! It's just a sample, so I'll have to try it on a 'proper' project before I give a full review!
So I cut the sample off quite quickly and was once again left looking at a naked loom! I thought I'd make a start n the patterns I designed for the side of the violin. I made the mistake of taking out my stash of delicas and other beads. I ended up having three projects I wanted to work on. So I warped the loom for three. Here is what WAS on the loom up until this afternoon.
I'm not entirely happy with the middle bracelet, but someone likes it so I'll finish it and give it to them. I wasn't happy with the bracelet on the right, so I undid it and changed the deign entirely. There is an element still to be added. This will be done when it's been cut off the loom as I think that will be easier.
I'm absolutely loving the design for the side of the violin. I also drew these up, and will loom them eventually as well. Hopefully they all look s good!
If you're still awake after reading this, thank you for doing so, and I hope you enjoy! Happy beading, and enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

Practice makes (almost) perfect
I have made a lot of progress since my last blog post. I finished joining the two panels, and made a start on weaving in the warps along the top edges – I'm more than half done on one of them. The joining was a little slow going. I made a few mistakes, one of which couldn't be undone. It can be seen if you look closely enough, but It will likely be covered up by the fringe.
I went to the local haberdashery on Saturday to buy the lining and zip. I went to the shop with the purse so I could pick the right colour. I tried it on black, cream and white. The black won out in the end. I had to buy a larger zip to get the one I wanted. But I think (hope) I'll be able to work with it! I'll try and do a video on sewing the lining. I'm not very good with sewing (read dislike) but will give it a go. Let's hope I don't regret it 🙂
I have made a start on the violin – decorating it. I sanded most of it down to get rid of the smooth varnished finish. The colour scheme for the side strip will use the colours in the Ugandan flag (my country of origin) – black, yellow and red. Here is the one motif I have so far designed.
The plan is to stitch the loomed strip to ultra suede and glue that to the woodwork. I have a design in mind for the back. Again based on the culture of Uganda. I still have to measure and design for it, so shall leave that for now. I think it would be good to include the crested crane, perhaps at the front. But there is something else (related to the design for the back) that I want on the violin. I'll have to see if I can squeeze everything in! In the meantime I have made a start on 'beading' the violin. The method of putting the beads on neat a time is very slow going. So it could take a while to get all the way round!
Tomorrow is another day! Happy beading and sleep well.
Bead Weaving, Social Market for a Mirrix: Brenda Kigozi, Uncategorized
Slow and steady wins the race
I've managed to do a little joining on the panels of the purse. When I get a chance to sit down and do any, I get into a rhythm and it goes quite smoothly. But overall it is a little slow going. I've made the mistake of weaving into the wrong space, and had to pull out several warps before i could continue.
I thought it would be a good technique to show, so here is a video demonstrating how you do the join. The principle is the same as for reweaving warps. I hope the video is clear and it's easy to understand.
It's starting to look good though, so I shall soldier on! Of course I'll have to do this for the warps on the top edges as well. Either that or knot. I have decided I will line the purse, so will think of how to handle the warps along the top edge so I don't have to reweave. Once I'm done with the join (hopefully by Friday night time allowing), I will then be able to go and buy the lining. I want to be able to try it out rather than go with what I think would go well with it.
The other things to consider now are the fringe and the side joins. I'm thinking joining the sides using odd-count peyote. Square stitch could work but I think it would be a little slower to work up. Another option could be to loom two strips and join them on. For the fringe, I have an idea I would like to try for the shape and layout. I'm thinking Swarovksi beads of some sort, though that sounds rather vague!. In any case, the plan is to browse some sites of bead shops and see if I can find something that catches my eye. I'm open to ideas if you want to make any suggestions.
I received all the beads for the Nelson Mandela bracelet except for two. I don't know f I an make a start as yet. I still have to edit the pattern. But hopefully the loom will be wiped by Sunday. There's another portrait I need to work on – its on my large homemade loom. So much to do and so little time!
Good wishes for the rest of the week, and I hope you enjoy(ed) the video!

A child's printable handprint craft is a more personalized, economical way to reduce the commercialized aspect of Mother's Day. In 2009, the National Retail Foundation predicted that Mother's Day spending would dip because of the economy, to an estimated total spending bill of $14 billion. Help your children or students save money by guiding them to handprint templates and handprint poems that are offered for free on various crafting and Mother's Day websites.
Free Card Templates
A free printable template for a long-armed, "Mom, I love you this much!" handprint card craft is located at Free Kids Crafts (freekidscrafts.com). A cute "Big Hug" pop-up card from Busy Bee Crafts (busybeekidscrafts.com) can be easily adapted into a Mother's Day handprint card. A child's real hand-prints could be cut out and glued to the template hands. Children can personalize the cards by adding stickers, coloring templates and writing love notes on the handprints.
Free Printable Templates
A Finger Flowers handprint project comes with a free printable flower pot template and has a little poem written on it at Tip Junkie (tipjunkie.com).
A colorful Handprint Wreath craft with a printable poem and decorative template is found on DLTK (dltk-holidays.com). Activity Village (activityvillage.co.uk) offers a medley of free templates to cut out. Children may glue colored heart or flower templates and attach small gifts such as candy, paper clips or barrettes with tape.
Free Printable Poems
A variety of printable poems is available from Activity Village (activityvillage.co.uk). The printed poem may be cut out and glued to the suggested craft, but it could also be attached to another item, such as a card, jar or paper plate. The poem can be set off with a border by mounting it on decorative paper. The paper should be measured wider than the poem shape by 1/2 inch all the way around.
Free Handprint Crafts
A handprint butterfly craft using a coloring page butterfly template is found on Nana's Corner (nanascorner.com). For The Mommas (forthemommas.com) offers a creative craft; the Child Handprint Calendar with a printable calendar template, for free. When the directions suggest using construction paper and crayons, use acid-free scrapbook paper and jelly pens instead to create a truly archival treasure. Personalize the crafts further with embellishments such as glitter, fake jewels, ribbons, feathers and handwritten notes.

Item Description
This beautiful cotton silk saree has a striking kalamkari block print pattern and a vibrant pallu, with beautifully contrasted blouse piece. Truly a designer creation from the artisans of rural South India. Length: 5.5 mtrs for saree+90 cms blouse piece (shown on model) Care: Dry clean first time to set colors. Later handwash in mild detergent (Ezee)/Machine wash with Delicate setting \n\nAbout the craft:\n\nKalamkari or Qalamkari is a type of hand-painted or block-printed cotton textile, produced in parts of India and in Iran. The word is derived from the Persian words ghalam (pen) and kari (craftmanship), meaning drawing with a pen (Ghalamkar). There are two distinctive styles of kalamkari art in India - one, the Srikalahasti style which is entirely handworked and the other, the Machilipatnam style of art which uses a combination of block prints and hand painting. Kalamkari block print is the one of the earliest and more complex techniques of block-printing on cloth using vegetable dyes. The blocks used are made by specialist artisans and have very detailed and elaborate designs carved on them. The fastness of the colours is ensured by washing, bleaching, and sunning. Persian influence on the designs is visible: ornamental birds, flowers, creepers, and mehrabs or archways found chiefly in Mughal architecture are common.

I feel so fortunate to have had Judson Pierce represent me in my workman's compensation claim with the City of Boston. Judson for our initial meeting was kind enough to come to my house and explained to me in clear understandable language what my options were in making a claim. I was injured while at work and was out of work for over one year. Judson worked with the City of Boston lawyers, my doctors and other people involved with the case for over one and half years. He was always accessible, either through email or telephone calls. I always felt invited and that my case was his most important at the time. The law office staff were always clear and would provide messages to Judson for me. I was in court three times and each time Judson was totally prepared and presented my case to the judge in a clear amiable way. Recently Judson was able to work with the City of Boston and get a settlement for me. I can't thank Judson and his law office enough. I feel so fortunate that he was the lawyer on my case. He provided excellent guidance and help throughout this whole process . I highly recommend this law office.

Alan is ethical and smart, excellent attorney, he handled my workers compensation claim in a very professional manner
Posted by Richard
Attorney Pierce represented me, as I now suffer from occupational asthma as a result of a work environment injury. The asthmatic condition is as a result of exposure to auto fumes, especially diesel fumes. The case was settled to my satisfaction. Attorney Pierce exhibited great concern for me and most appropriately researched the occupational asthma. He was prepared in every way.
There is no substitute for competence. I highly recommend Atty Pierce.

Keep your chin up! We "women of a certain age" all struggle with something. You continue to inspire and entertain. Good luck with your fitness program. One day at a time and you WILL succeed!ReplyDelete
You are a better woman than me. I would have told ANONYMOUS to go jump in a lake.ReplyDelete
Pam I suffer the same physical things and feelings. I have been on countless "successful" diets, but after two years I end in the same place. On top of it all I now have goiters sucking at my thyroid. Please continue to tell the advice of your trainer.ReplyDelete
As for the wedding. You looked appropriate compared to the others in the photos. The groom and brides parents are more dressy and should be. I live in NY. A NY wedding it wasn't and no need for NYC dress.
Really, who doesn't feel like you? I suffer the same. Countless diets and two years later I'm back to the same old, same old. To make matters worse I've developed goiters sucking at my thyroid. I'd love to hear all the advice the trainer gives. I need it.ReplyDelete
Looking at the dress of others in your photos, your dress was appropriate. It was not a fancy wedding. This is not NYC, where I am from.
What a PERFECT response - and I've noticed that negative commenters almost always remain anonymous -ReplyDelete
I don't get it.
At all.
If you don't like something you see or read - move on -
My friend and I were just talking about this last night - well sort of - why is it that we ( women ) can get a 100 compliments - and the one negative comment will be the one that sticks with us????
You responded with such GRACE - just loving it ( and wish that that person would have just kept their opinion to themselves really.
In my book anonymous didn't even deserve an explanation. However I understand how arrows like that hit their target hard and HURT. None of us are perfect. We all have something about ourselves we would like to change. I am thin and I hate it. I try to put on weight and I can't. I am at present dealing with a family member who is dying. It puts all our problems in perspective. Live every day and enjoy every moment.ReplyDelete
Funny how the ones that leave negative comments never leave their names.ReplyDelete
Don't you wonder what they look like and are wearing??
I always imagine a person in a moo moo eating chips and chocolate watching tellanovella and wishing they looked as good as the blogs they leave nasty comments on!
GREAT response to a stupid troll of a commenter!! YOU GO GIRL!!!ReplyDelete
I had been wondering what your big change might be, and I wish you the very best. In response to the very harsh critic, we have all worn things that didn't flatter us best, and let us be thankful for the kind friends that did not feel the need to point it out. The internet's anonymity (regardless whether you use a name or not) encourages thoughtless comments from some. I, for one, am amazed at how much good writing, common sense and, yes, style there is for women our age. I am but two years behind you and have recently lost about 25 lbs that seemed to have crept up over the years. It was a long process (combining diet and excercise) and I step on that dead-gum scale now every morning to see just how much leeway I have. Best wishes to you and keep us up to date. There is no reason why you cannot reach your goal.ReplyDelete
I loved your response (even though a nasty comment doesn't warrant an explanation!) I keep this on my Pinterest page - "Holding a grudge is like letting someone live rent-free in your head." Hold onto compliments and constructive advice from those you trust and let everything else go...I should take my own advice here!ReplyDelete
When I read the post I did not even notice the dress. It was the love and happiness between you and your family that caught my attention.ReplyDelete
Only three words seem appropriate and are on the tip of my tongue. YOU GO GIRL!ReplyDelete
Wonderful, gracious response, Pam, to a commenter who did not deserve such. But you are a woman of grace and class, and no rude comment is going to ever change that! And PS, you looked fab!ReplyDelete
Your answer to that troll was excellent ! Good for you for saying what was on your mind although you did not need to justify your choices. Thank you for your fashion advice . I don't often comment but I always read your blog. As a 56 yo plus size woman (14-16) I'm glad to see choices regardless of size, thank you Pam for your blog and to the troll, karma is a b@#tch...ReplyDelete
I think you looked beautiful, Pam, and it was more the happiness radiating out from you than the dress itself.ReplyDelete
Those anonymous comments can be so thoughtless and hurtful - and yes, they never sign their names, and we never see what THEY post on the internet day in and day out!
I'm proud of you for never giving up, for going to a training and for striving to be healthy. You rock - don't ever for get that, Pam!
Hi Pam,ReplyDelete
Sheila - above hit the nail on the head. It was a joyous occasion and live for today and feel its beauty.
You go, girl!ReplyDelete
Dear Pam I am so glad that you responded so graciously to Anon and her meanness.ReplyDelete
I really don't understand some peoples lack of Kindness.
Pam I also applaud your determination to keep on working at it. You know some of the trauma I have been through and weight gain has been part of that, I am frustrated with it big time.
We'll talk more later!
Giveaway from The Enchanted Home!
Great response. I too didn't really pay attention to your outfit I was more interested in the details of the wedding. How empty a person must be to be a troll. I am amazed at the rude, mean comments they make on people's blogs.ReplyDelete
I love your blog and can't believe someone would make that comment. You have great flair, style, and class. Thanks for persevering and sharing your challenges and successes with us!ReplyDelete
I think Anonymous must have been having a bad day and feeling a lack of confidence in herself. Hopefully she'll keep reading your blog and see how you always find the positive side of life. It's nice to have clothes that feel perfect for the occasion, but respect, confidence and friendship are more important than the style of a dress.ReplyDelete
Hi PamReplyDelete
What an excellent answer to a very thoughtless, mean-spirited comment. i do not usually comment but I really enjoy reading your blog. You have a radiance, beauty and artistry in every picture you post. It comes from within, enhances everything that you wear, and will always be with you no matter where your health journey takes you. Thank you for your creative and positive messages.
Great response, Pam.ReplyDelete
You are a beautiful woman and so generous of your time to share with us on this blog. I know those kinds of comments can really bother me though too.
Just have to brush it off and keep being YOU.
Most of us are understanding and are going through similar issues. We're here for each other. Don't let Ms. Rude bring you down.
I can never understand why someone has the need to post a negative comment like that. Her comment could have been phrased in such a nicer manner. Our country has turned into a bunch of rude, faceless, posters.ReplyDelete
I have been reading you for a while now and this entry is so powerful I would like to make MY first comment: You are class, pure class.ReplyDelete
The Anonymous commenter (troll?) is probably gorgeous, thin, young(er) and yet so unhappy they need to spend their time pulling others down. I feel sorry for that person.
BTW I am in Johannesburg, South Africa and do not have access to the retailers you recommend but I learn something new from you often- Thank You!
Three cheers for you Pam!!!ReplyDelete
Pam, some people just want to spread their misery. You, on the other hand, spread positivity, strength, joy, and making the most of each day. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
Don't you dare throw in the towel and let the years decide your looks...You are a lovely talented woman and you own looking absolutely fabulous...Get your rear in gear and work on that weight...You can have anything in the world but giving up...That, my dear, is not on the plate...Bestie...ReplyDelete
Your classy response is what sets you apart from the anonymous. It's hard to understand why someone felt the need to be so mean spirited. You are a REAL woman, and know that you are loved!ReplyDelete
Pam, you are lovely inside & out! Clothes don't make the woman, as we all know! I had a similar incident this weekend, not being able to fit into my more "favorite" clothes, and almost decided to forego the play I had been looking forward to seeing. Instead, I put on my comfy clothes and took off! Next stop - the gym. Hey! That's what it's there for, right? For us to get back into shape! You go, Girl! More support out here for you than criticism - any day! Hugs!ReplyDelete
First off, thank you for your work here. :)ReplyDelete
Secondly, fashion is and, will always be subjective.
While I may or, may not like a particular "style." I do
and, will always enjoy reading your blog!
Your blog offers much more to the reader than fashion.
You offer us self respect. Permission to believe we
are worthy of attention and, adornment regardless of our
age. :) This is much needed therapy, as the fashion industry
assumes only ladies under 40 with great figures are worthy of
being and, looking FABULOUS. :)
- AnonymousJune 25, 2013 at 11:15 AM
Fabulous post Pam. I love your blog and if I didn't I wouldn't read it. This is the downside of internet nasty troll types. I think you saw this one off beautifully!!!ReplyDelete
Wow--i thought you looked fantastic and so appropriate.ReplyDelete
Awesome response to that person Pam!!
Oh, this was great! What a classy way to put her in her place - loved it :)ReplyDelete
Thank you for answering for all of us, in the exact same position.
Maybe Anonymus is younger and slimmer... maybe... but wait until she gets to the age we are right now.ReplyDelete
I hope she will then have the same passion, fun and great community we have!
Well done, Pam!

There is that old saying...if you cant say something nice about someone, dont say anything at all. Just because you can say what you want when you are anonymous doesnt mean you should.Words can hurt. She was just plain old rude. Glad you responded the way you did. Facing up to people who hurt our feelings is important, as long as we respond with class. I wish you well.ReplyDelete
Right on, Pam!!!!ReplyDelete
Great comments Pam.. well said! That's another thing about being 50 feeling 40 or 60 feeling 50.. we know our mind, eventually! And we are not afraid of saying it like it should be said! I totally am behind you.. you don't have to 'please explain'.. and another thing.. you're not too proud to share your heart! Which is after all, the fruit from your tree you're bearing.. so well done Pam.. wahoo! Your blog header clearly states what you stand for.. Strength, confidence and joy. x jReplyDelete
So, what was wrong with the dress you wore? I just went and took a look at it and see absolutely NOTHING wrong with the dress or how it looked on you. I too think that anonymous should share a photo of herself so we can all see the proper way to dress for a wedding. Jeez.ReplyDelete
Ah, the Internet trolls. The more popular your blog becomes the more they will want to pull you into their nasty little hovel under the bridge. Don't let them! We love what you do. Keep doing it!ReplyDelete

Wow, Pam, I can't believe someone wrote that to you, but I love your response to it. I'm glad you are working with a trainer. I can't imagine anybody at a gym would laugh at anyone behind their back. If people are at the gym, everybody's on the same team to get healthier. XO, JillReplyDelete
I came across your blog today by happy accident. I turned 50 last month and am searching out bloggers I can relate to while I get serious about my own blog. This post hit so close to home and is so honest and pure it just made me feel good. Please don't ever let hurtful hateful people stop you from enjoying your life. I'm signing up to receive your posts. Thank you!ReplyDelete
Pam I am stunned that someone would write something so unkind. I think most of us, regardless of age, relate to the challenges you share here. I know I do. For the record, I think you looked lovely at the wedding. Your response to anonymous was very gracious without letting her "off the hook". I never understand why one woman will want to bring another down. Pam you are a real woman providing real inspiration and encouragement to women like me...thank you.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for joining in our conversation today! I appreciate your time and love hearing from you!

Posted 10/16/2013 at 3:56 PM
Posted 4 years ago
PushBullet, an Android app that lets users transfer information on and off their mobile devices, has just received a significant update, which introduces a very useful feature.
PushBullet has made quite the name for itself since launching on Android at the beginning of this year. Billed as being "way easier than email" and "a lot faster than Dropbox", the app has made moving files from your computer onto your phone a pleasant experience. With its latest version 11.3 update, the start-up has introduced another feature that can make all of our lives easier: push-to-Chrome.
Computer-to-phone transfers are nailed down, and now phone-to-computer transfers will be just as easy. With the new feature, users will now be able to send links, notes, pictures, and other types of files to any computer that runs the Chrome browser.
To take advantage of the new feature, PushBullet users will need to update the Chrome plugin. Once this is done, pushing will become a two-way operation, with sent items appearing on a desktop as notifications, which can then be opened or dismissed. In the event that you dismiss a notification by accident, all is not lost, as PushBullet make all pushed content available for access via its website.
In a blog post detailing the new feature, PushBullet's Ryan Oldenburg said that the company has been hearing about how great it would be for users to push to other people and have started working on a feature for pushing to family and friends, making it as easy and enjoyable as its current offerings.
The updated PushBullet Android app is available to download on Google Play now and you can get the PushBullet Chrome Extension here. If you're not already a PushBullet user, you will need to head on over to www.pushbullet.com to sign up via Google+.
