These days, it seems that everywhere you turn there's a new smoothie establishment popping up. No longer a quick-fix for a sweet tooth, these blended concoctions are becoming our go-tos for quick (and delicious) nourishment. Who knew that smoothies would become just as trendy as the lob or coral lipstick! While we are well aware of smoothies' effects on our waistlines and overall health, they are also chock-full of benefits for your complexion. We consulted with registered dieticians (and smoothie enthusiasts) Lauren O'Connor and Dawn Jackson Blatner on how to make smoothies a regular supplement to your beauty routine.
Directions (for all): Blend all the ingredients in a blender until the liquid is creamy and smooth. Enjoy!
Avocados may seem like a weird ingredient for a smoothie, but O'Connor insists they're a must. "With its mild flavor and creamy texture, avocado is an ideal thickener for any smoothie," she says. "It provides skin-protecting nutrients such as monounsaturated oleic acid, heart-healthy omega-3s and vitamins E and C." These nutrients also make the avocado great for sealing moisture into the skin and supporting collagen production. In other words, it's the ultimate wrinkle-fighter. And, we're all about that.
Strawberry, Basil, Avocado Smoothie
Carotene-rich fruits and veggies like tomatoes, carrots and pumpkin are ideal for a sun-protection smoothie. Tomatoes are especially known for keeping the sun's rays at bay, says O'Conner. "(Tomatoes contain) a carotene compound that may help prevent sunburn and reduce premature aging due to sun damage, according to a study in British Journal of Dermatology."
While most see smoothies as a sweet treat, O'Connor favors a savory (and slightly spicy) formula for those days she wants to give her SPF a helping hand. This smoothie is great for you Bloody Mary lovers!
Refreshing Tomato Avocado Gazpacho
Leafy greens like kale, spinach or arugula are a great addition to any smoothie, especially if you're looking to give your complexion a radiance boost. "Greens contain carotenoids which actually give the skin a subtle orange, glowing tinge, which is said to be more attractive than bronzed suntan skin," says Jackson Blatner. "And, of course, they also include a nice dosage of vitamin C, which helps keep collagen healthy and wrinkles far away!" If the idea of a blended salad doesn't appeal to you, throw in some fruit for added natural sweetness and nutrients. Vitamin-rich bananas and berries are great options! Go crazy!

Here is a taste from the only Kenyan artist on the album, Juma, who is just spazzing at the rehearsals. One thing you should do is remember the name "Juma" because from the few bars that he spat on the clip and the switch of flows, dude is definitely going to be a problem.

"Have you seen Luke Hemmings?" Rylie tapped an old man's shoulders. He gave her a peculiar look, and shook his head.
Rylie was on the most popular boardwalk, it seemed, in Sydney. The pathway was covered in people walking different directions. Mixtures of different color t-shirts passed Rylie as she asked anyone if they had seen Luke. No luck.
"Hey." she waved at a teenage girl to stop. "You know 5 Seconds of Summer, right?" the girl looked like a fan. She wore a Misfits band tee, and baggy shorts. Her ends were died a light pink, and she looked like the perfect age to love 5sos.
The girl nodded. "They broke up, though." she sighed looking down at her sandals, then looked Rylie seriously in the eyes. She gasped, and clasped a hand over her mouth. "You're Rylie Higgins!" she mumbled through her fingers.
Rylie allowed a moment to laugh at her surprise. Apparently, she was more well known than she thought. "Yes, and I'm looking for Luke. Have you seen him?"
The girl laughed, and the giggles reminded Rylie of Ashton. "I wish." her Australian accent was thick with hope and shock. "Please tell me when you find him, you'll get back together!" The girl put her hands together in a beg.
Rylie frowned her eyebrows. "How'd you know about that?"
The girl laughed again, and shrugged her shoulders. "If you're a 5sos fan, you know." she left Rylie without a goodbye or even an ask for a picture.
Rylie nearly screamed in frustration. She slammed her boot against the ground like a child throwing a tantrum. She gained a few looks from passerbys, but she didn't care. She needed to find Luke, and no seemed to see him. Not even the paparazzi had pictures, considering there were none around. Maybe now that 5sos wasn't together or famous anymore, they gave up caring.
She had gone everywhere she could even think of him being, and places that made no sense. Hopefully, he hadn't left the country. Hopefully, he wasn't like a fugitive, and disappeared off the face of the Earth.
"Sir. " she put a finger up to stop a middle-aged man walking near her. "Excuse me." she cleared her throat, and he looked at her with a confusing expression. His hair was slicked back with Ray Bans nestled on his head. He looked friendly, but if Rylie knew anything at all, it was people were not who they seemed.
"Have you seen a boy? About 18? Blonde hair gelled back maybe? Or maybe not? Beautiful blue eyes? Really tall?" Rylie placed her hand high in the air, indicating his height.
"You basically just described every guy in Sydney." the man scoffed at her, but before he walked away, a woman walked over to him, and wrapped her arm around his. Now she looked truly kind. Her hair was a short brown, and her eyes popped with a golden green. "Everything alright?" she asked, looking from her, Rylie assumed, husband, and she.
"I'm looking for my-" Rylie paused, unable to identify him as. "Boyfriend." she went ahead and said.
"He's missing?" she asked, the first person truly concerned. "Can you give me some details of what may have happened to make him disappear?"
The man next to her rolled his eyes, and planted his feet firmly on the ground in impatience.
Rylie tried to shorten her life story. "Um...well his best friend died like a week ago, and at the funeral, I told him I didn't love him...which wasn't true!" Rylie didn't see the need to explain herself, but she did anyways. "I think he was feeling lonely from everything and he just...ran."
The woman looked awfully confused, but her forehead creased in deep thought. "Well..." she looked down at her feet, thinking hard. "If I were him, I would go to the one place where I could talk to the person I would never see again."
Rylie knitted her eyebrows together, showing she didn't understand.
The woman stifled a laugh. "Maybe he didn't, but I would've gone to my best friend's grave."
Rylie's mouth gaped open. Why hadn't she thought of that? Of course. He had to be there. That was the last place that made sense.
"Thank you so much!" she said excitedly to the woman, and shook her hand vigorously. "Thank you!"
The couple walked away, and Rylie was filled with a lurch of hope. He had to be there. If he wasn't, she would have to give up looking. She missed him so much, and all she wanted was for them to be together again.
She took off running. She ran as fast as she could down a thin road, faintly remembering it in her head. She strained to see the outside from the taxi she took to that cemetery, and if her memory was correct, she was heading straight there.
Her legs slowly began to get weak as they realized how far the cemetery was from the beach. Rylie tried to keep going, but she eventually had to rest, and walk the remainder of the way. She was just so eager to get there. She hadn't a clue how she would greet herself or what she would say. All she cared about was seeing his beautiful, glorious face, and knowing he was okay.
What if he wasn't there? What if that hope that Rylie built inside her just crumbled into a billion pieces? Rylie felt almost sure he would be though. She could practically feel Michael telling her he was. Michael. She hadn't forgotten about him. She still missed him so much, it hurt. It was just that she was at piece with herself knowing what happened was a fluke accident.
The area was bare still. No sign of cement blocks anywhere. It was pure dead grass surrounding a dirt road. Rylie expected a kangaroo to pop out at her, but she knew that was an Australian cliché. Australia was nothing she assumed it would be. It was actually mostly suburbs, and hardly anyone was outside if the weather wasn't magically gorgeous. Most Australians feared the sun because it was so hot, and the chances for skin cancer was high. The only reason people were on the beach that day was because the weather was actually pretty warm; a contrast from the snow and freezing temperatures winter brought. Rylie imagined in the future her and Luke on that beach, soaking in the sun. It was a scenario that gave pleasure to her worried soul.
She looked up at the bright blue sky slowly transfiguring to a darker color. The sun rested on the horizon, and mixtures of yellow and pinks formed in the clouds.
She was running out of time. He had to be there.
Please still be there, Luke. Please.
Thankfully, a fence appeared before her eyes. A tall metal fence, made up of black, slender poles that configured to a point. Rylie sighed with relief as she walked to stand in front of the tall gate that towered over her with the words, 'Gravestone Cemetery,' engraved in a dirty calligraphy.
She dragged her dirty leather boots against the worn gravel as she searched around the large place for any sign of life.
The dark slowly creeping in made everything a lot more spooky. So many graves rested in that cemetery, occupied by so many dead people.
The eerie air only added to the suspenseful fear Rylie felt. The few trees cast shadows on the ground, reminding her of bony skeleton fingers grasping for her frail body. The moss crept in the crevices of the old gravestones, and the haunting feeling was enough to make Rylie want to crawl in a corner and cry.
Why was the place so big? It would take her forever to find him, and she hoped she wasn't too late. She hoped she was close to hugging him, and feeling his warm embrace.
Suddenly, she heard a voice. A small voice barely a whisper, but she heard it. Rylie turned her body towards the direction the sound was coming from, and only yards away, Luke was kneeling in front of a newly installed grave.
A flood or relief enveloped her soul, seeing his presence. She was so close. She smiled at the back of his head, but immediately shuttered in fright.
There he was. On his knees; in front of Michael's grave; with a gun to his head.
Rylie's eyes widened in shock as they traced the shadow or Luke's forearm up to the gray pistol resting between his fingers. The gun pointed directly at his temple.
His back was facing her, but she could still feel the tears from him seeping into her, and flooding her veins with despair.
She was frozen in her place. She felt the air catch in her throat, and block her esophagus from speaking. She felt her limbs become stiff and immobile. She had to do something! She tried to will her body to move, but she feared if she twitched an inch, Luke would pull that trigger.
No, he couldn't. Luke was a smart boy, and even if he was blinded by his heartbreak, he still wouldn't. Rylie didn't dare take a second to question his motives, but there was nothing she could do. If only she could think of a way to ease him out of it. She knew the clock was ticking down before Luke made that fatal mistake.
"Help me Michael." Luke spoke. His voice was so weak, and he let out a sob that made Rylie grip her stomach with sickening grief. "Help me put the gun down."
Rylie was right there. She could help him; if she remembered how to speak. Her heart reached out to touch his and mend it, but the utter terror that filled her body blinded her functions.
Luke gulped loudly, and Rylie nearly screamed. Her body tensed up, and she felt her heart race to the point of maximum speed.
"Luke..." she finally got out. Her voice was calm; hoping her tone would calm Luke down and help him see clearly. She had to tread lightly around the situation, and if her voice gave faulting rush, then Luke would too. She stepped forward calmly and slowly, taking extreme precautions in her moves.
Luke tensed up, and Rylie could see his shirt tighten, and his back dimples etch into the fabric. He turned so slowly that the suspense in the air was frightened too. His eyes met Rylie's so quickly that they widened in pain and humiliation. For a millisecond, Rylie thought she had gotten through to him, but he instantly shook his head rapidly, the gun unwavering in its position. "It's in my head..." his eyes squeezed shut as he told himself the lie. "She's not here..." he whispered. "It's all in my head."
"No, Luke..." Rylie spoke slowly, but she felt so out of breath. She felt like she had said a thousand words, opposed to three. Her body tried to keep steady, but it shuttered every few moments. "I'm really here...." she took another small step towards him, only a few away from snatching the gun out of his aching hand. "Grab my hand..." she reached out her small hand, and offered loving fingers.
Luke glanced sharply at them, and cringed his forehead in confusion. His expression reminded Rylie of a lost puppy. His frown was deeper than the Grand Canyon, and it offered no comfort in her quest to save him. Save him from a making a unfixable mistake.
"But why would you really be here if you didn't love me?" his tone of voice held so much unforgiveness and pain, and Rylie knew it was all her fault. She had stripped him of his common sense, and made him lost in the world of depression.
"I lied, Luke. I love you so much. Please don't do it." Rylie pleaded for Luke to somehow know she was telling the truth this time. She dared to take another step towards him, and she could almost reach for his body. Luke flinched in terror, but the gun still stayed prominent in its position.
She was at a loss for what to do next. She was so scared and overthinking every move, but her mind was a jumble of sickening scenarios and thoughts.
Suddenly, Luke looked up from his slumping position, and placed his blue eyes right into Rylie's. Rylie saw straight into them the look of hate she feared to see. There was no hope. His pupils pierced hers, and he grimaced at her in utter hatred.
"I have a feeling this isn't gonna last..." Luke spoke sharply, and his fingers trembled as they stretched for the small button that ends lives.
"What?" Rylie was completely thrown off and her eyebrows laced together in a confused expression.
The next moments were a blur. It was as if time had stopped, and everything was frozen. Rylie heard the clicking of a trigger, and the erupting bang as the bullet found its target. She watched for she could do nothing as a spray of red droplets showered from the other side of Luke's head, and landed in delicate mists on the grassy dirt. Then, her eyes must have been playing tricks on her mind as she watched Luke's body stiffen quickly, and immediately crumple to the ground; lifeless.
All she could hear was the pounding of her heart. Ba-boom. Ba-boom. Ba-boom.
She was frozen, still not comprehending anything. All she could remember was that night they laid on the hard concrete floor, and drifted off to sleep at the dreams of lasting.
And then she realized that she had just watched the only person that kept her heart alive with love and happiness pull that unfaithful trigger, and destroy the most precious thing in the world. Nothing compared to the pain gripping her lungs...and stomach...and head...and heart. Michael's death was nothing compared to this one. It was over....
Rylie pushed that horrible thought out of her head. She would not lose Luke. They would walk out of that cemetery together, and if they didn't, neither one would ever leave. Luke was still alive, and Rylie would do everything in her power to keep it that way.
"Please think about this Luke." she said, her eyes catching every single itch Luke moved.
Luke looked at the newly filled dirt hole, and breathed out. "I can't live without you..." he mumbled.
"You don't have to..." Rylie raised her voice slightly, still holding her hand out for him to hold. "I'm here, and I'm never leaving."
She saw Luke's eyes twinkle with a flicker of hope, and a flash of sense coming back into his mind. His arm trembled, following the rest of his body. Rylie felt air flooding into her lungs as she took a nice sigh of relief.
"You promise? You promise you'll never leave?" Luke's voice was as small as a child's, and his question made Rylie tingle with shame, knowing she had caused the pain that made him fear of loneliness.
"I promise..." she sad quickly, taking no hesitation in her words. "I'll always be here...but if you pull that trigger, Luke...I would have to the same." She realized she meant those words that left her mouth. When she said that she couldn't live without Luke, she couldn't. She couldn't go through that pain again of losing someone, and knowing for sure it was her fault this time. They planted both feet in that relationship, and all in meant they made the life altering decisions together. If he went down, she did too.
Luke's facial features cringed as he battled within himself, a fight Rylie couldn't begin to understand. She didn't know what he was feeling, but she knew he felt that love she was virtually giving him. She smiled lovingly at him, hoping he had made the right decision.
Luke sighed as his hand went down, taking the gun with it. He glanced up at Rylie and smiled weakly as he tossed the pistol to the side, too far for him to reach.
Rylie let a unbelievable yelp of excitement escape her as her eyes filled with relieved tears. She lunged for Luke, and wrapped her arms around his bust body. She gripped him so hard, not planning to let go.
She was so terrified of losing him. That was too close of an awful experience, and she never, ever wanted to feel sad again.
She felt Luke's hesitant arms eventually wrap around her, and she felt a sense of home in his embrace. She felt like she was in the right place; she belonged in his arms. She had missed him so much that joyful hysteria had overtaken her. Everything was right in the world; their hearts were mending at an untimely rate.
They had been through so much that it was scary, but they would get through the other hardships of their long life together.
Rylie allowed a heavy sigh to express the solace and remedy of her shaken nerves.
She loved Luke so much, and she was filled with a gleeful intoxication knowing they both had peace of mind. Her mind was in a frenzy of bliss and delight.
The warmth radiating off his body made Rylie forget the harsh memories and replace them with the beautiful memories of the cherishing emotions they made together.
"I love you Luke." she mumbled into his shirt, and she lost track of time of how long they stayed in that hug.
"I love you, too Rylie." Luke's words were filled with relief too, and Rylie spotted over her shoulder that hateful gun that could've taken the love of her life. She frowned at it, and gripped Luke harder. The touch of his fingers on her waist sent Rylie's body flooding in happiness. "I'm so glad I have you."

For those who don't know, finger monkeys are basically a specie of monkeys that is classified as a special animal. Now the name finger monkey is given to this specie because the monkeys are really, really small; in case you're wondering how small, we're talking about anywhere from 14 to 16 cm, with tails that are longer than their bodies.
Now even though the finger monkeys are classified as special or exotic animals, the fact that they are not endangered has allowed the people to keep these monkeys as pets. They can cost anywhere from $2,000 and go all the way up to $10,000. Now keeping a finger monkey as a pet isn't all that difficult since they're not high maintenance, but there are some things that you need to keep in mind.
If you want to make sure that the baby finger monkey is healthy, and happy once domesticated, you need to properly take care of it. So, with that out of the way, let's take a look at how you can properly take care of a finger monkey.
Know Their Diet
A lot of people don't know this, but a finger monkey has a very specific diet that they have to intake, this is something a lot of people aren't aware of. For those wondering, finger monkeys feed off of saps and gums from a variety of vines and trees. The good thing is that their food can be purchased.
Understanding Their Mood
When it comes to mood. Finger monkeys are pretty much like other monkeys, however, when they are hungry, or displeased, they can get agitated and even angry. When angry, a finger monkey is known for biting and jumping around, and even throwing stuff around or at their owner.

"Violet said she has never had a problem with this business. They are very helpful."
Review for Massey Cadillac Orlando Body Shop
Charles K. on 03/14/2016
Charles said the quality of the repair was very good, but they took twice as long as what he was first told. When he first took the vehicle to them they looked it over and were to have ordered the parts and told him repairs would take about 1 week. After they started work on the vehicle he was told they needed to order more parts and that pushed the completion of the repairs out another week. They needed to order more parts, the thoroughness of the person that prepared the estimate must not have been very good. He said he did not communicate with the business, he communicated with Terry and there were a couple of times he had to call Terry for an update then he would get a text message, overall their communication could be better.

PKDH happened to me out of the blue. I was working on my Indie film, 'Avant garde pythagoras sharma' last year when I received a call from Rajshri for the show. I have had a long standing association with the Production House and this chance to work together seemed too good to be refuse. When I heard the concept and my role, I just knew that I had to be a part of this. Fortunately, the channel loved my screen test as well and bingo, I am playing Aditya.
Do you believe in the concept of the show, that upbringing can develop a person?
Yes I do. Whatever, I am today, personally, is to a large extent because of the upbringing my parents gave me. So the credit or blame should go to them. Similarly, Adi is someone who has been primarily shaped by the relationships or lack of them within his family. I can completely relate to and feel for somebody like Adi though personally I am very different from him.
How is your bonding with your co-star Disha Parmar?
Disha is great costar. We barely spoke initially as she is very reserved and an introvert but with time we've managed to break the ice and now I share a great rapport with her. She is still a quiet person and speaks not more than 5 lines during the day but we understand & compliment each others style of working beautifully.
Aditya is shown to be very close to his nana Mukesh Khanna, how is your chemistry with Mukesh Khanna?
Mukesh Saab and I share a fantastic bond, on and off screen both. I have grown up watching his work in Mahabharata and Shaktiman and I look up to the man for his sheer energy and enthusiasm for his work even after all these years of being in the industry. I love performing scenes with him and there is so much one gets to imbibe and observe by just being around him.
Where do you see yourself in the future?
Good question. 10 minutes from now, I see myself digging into this massive thin crust pizza, which has been staring at me for the past half hour, waiting for me to finish with this interview. On a more serious note, I'd love to be in a position to be able to entertain people and in some way touch their lives with the work I do or the person I become. That is my only reason for being in the profession. It's my love for people.
Are there similarities (in nature) between Nakuul and Aditiya?
None. Nakuul is everything Aditya is not yet there is a part of Aditya which is a part of Nakuul too. My mother is the center of my my existence just like Aditya's, though luckily I have not had a childhood like Aditya's. The only thing common would be our non-biased nature. I don't judge people and am usually trust people just like Aditya.
What do you enjoy the most? Movies or Television?
Watching movies and currently acting on TV :-)
Do you believe in love marriage or arranged marriage?
Whatever floats your boat. But I do believe in the institution of marriage.
Fans on India-Forums has given the couple Aditya and Pankhuri the name PaYa and for Nakuul and Disha - NaSha, what do you feel about this love of fans?
Wow! I dint even know that. I like NaSha. I think its cool.
Message for your fans on India-Forums?
I am really happy to get this chance to interact with you. I do what I do for you and I hope somewhere that honesty comes through to you. I would love to hear what you think about our show and if you have any criticism or messages for me. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Just make them loud ;-) Lots of love and Good wishes, Nak!

2017-18 Budget Application Process
What's new for 2017-18?
We'll meet with you during short term.
No more scrambling to find time right before finals! The Budgets and Clubs Board will now meet with you during short term to discuss your budget allocation for 2017-18.
Decisions will be communicated to club leaders in September.
In fall 2016, we received a number of inquiries from club leaders who were not informed by previous leadership what their allocation was for the year, or who were otherwise confused due to poor communication among club members. This will ensure that your incoming leadership knows from day one what their allocation is.
Questions about this process? Please contact Danielle Fournier, Chair of the Budgets & Clubs Board, at email@example.com.

Cigar stub incident tars image of game
GORDON TAYLOR, the chief executive of the PFA, was left shaking his head in despair after learning yesterday that yet another wayward youngster had succeeded in bringing shame upon the sport at a time when the players' union has been endeavouring to improve the image of its members.
Joey Barton, the Manchester City midfield player, faces serious internal action — a fine of about £60,000, which is equal to four weeks' wages — after he pushed a lit cigar into the eyes of a young team-mate at the club's Christmas party at a city-centre nightclub on Sunday evening.
James Tandy, a 20-year-old reserve-team player, has suffered from blurred vision and been told he is lucky that there will be no lasting damage.

The good news is that the flu vaccine is covered under most individual insurance plans, Medicare, Medicaid and plans purchased through your employer when administered at your primary care doctor's office. "The season hasn't peaked yet, and we don't know when the peak is going to happen", she said. "We hopefully are approaching the peak but we may not be there yet". It's also particularly important for babysitters and elderly caretakers. In short, the flu isn't messing around this year and it could have unsafe consequences for kids, the elderly and people with chronic illnesses.
Although the current vaccine includes protection against H3N2, the CDC said viruses in that category evolve so quickly and frequently it's hard for vaccine-makers to anticipate the changes.
This year is not an exception.
And so far, the percentage of doctor's visits for the flu has exceeded the national baseline for eight consecutive weeks, the report said.
That's why fresh flu vaccine cocktails are needed each year.
There have been 2,878 reported influenza cases in Allegheny County and 984 in Westmoreland along with 506 in Butler County and 921 in Washington County. The Wichita Falls/Wichita County Health District said cases in Texas are on the rise and are expected to continue for the next few weeks.
"Still, we can do a lot of good with a pretty good vaccine available today". Each February, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a group of medical and public health experts, makes the final decision about which virus strains will go into vaccines, which will be sold beginning in September to protect people during the forthcoming flu season.
In a separate report, Lenee Blanton, MPH, of the CDC, characterized influenza activity as "moderate" so far this year.
"The current flu vaccine is the best preventative measure we now have".
Overall, its effectiveness reached 48 percent.
Last week Canadian researchers reported they are seeing about 42 percent protection from the H3N2 component of the vaccine north of the border.
While 40 percent to 50 percent effectiveness may not sound like much, when spread across an entire population, the effect is significant, he said.
But if you think we're on the tail end of the peak of flu season, think again. That's true of all families of flu but for some reason the H3N2 viruses adapt in ways that introduce important differences.

Throughout August I have barely seen the inside of my Sewing Room. It's the same every year. But as summer draws to a close and the nights slowly begin to draw in, I am already dreaming of Autumn. It could be 20 degrees outside (although we haven't seen many days that high this year) and I can be found gazing longingly at my jumpers and boots and wondering if a hot chocolate would be entirely inappropriate?!
And it's the same with sewing. Come August, already I am planning autumnal makes in my head. I love Autumn! This is "my" season. So I was rather excited to finally get stuck into my first make of the season, Burda 6847. I made View A
I make no secret that I am not a huge fan of Burda patterns, but they do have some fabulous and unusual designs that sometimes I just cannot resist.
Years ago, I purchased this Bench jacket that I wore to it's death.
So, with this Month's MAGAM theme "Average August" (make something average/essential) this was my cue to finally replace this much loved and worn, practical jacket and Burda 6847 fit the bill perfectly.
This time, I decided on Navy Blue. The fabric is a brushed back sweatshirting with a faint horizontal pinstripe about every inch. It's difficult to see unless you look close.
You can literally just abut make it out on this photo
The fabric is available HERE from Croft Mill and just to add a bit of contrast, I lined the hood in a cream Ponte Roma left over from a previous dress project, and also purchased a contrast cream double ended zip
One addition I did make to this jacket was to add in seam pockets at the sides. I mean, let's face it, what use is a jacket without pockets..?!!
So as Autumn has already arrived nice and early in our little corner of England, as soon as this was finished, it was literally hot off the sewing machine and out the door on the same day.
And here I am wearing it on one of it's first Autumn Amble's out..
Yes, the scenery is somewhat distracting is it not..? So here's a final couple more, un-distracting shots..!

According to Romans to those who by persistence in doing good seek what?
Romans 2 :(5) But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. (6) God "will repay each person according to what they have done." (7) To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. (8) But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. (9) There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; (10) but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. (11) For God does not show favoritism.

text: So I have spent about a day with my new Droid X, and I am liking most things and not liking some others. Perhaps some are just due to my ignorance. Firstly, I am not a fan of haptic feedback, so I turned it off. However, its still present for the unlock screen and for selecting home screens. Annoying. I cant seem to delete the camera widget and I think its big and intrusive. Is there a way to remove it? Also, if I change the 'notifications' sound, it makes my text message sound the same. I want one sound for texts, and one for notifications, is that doable? I am also trying to have different volume settings for text message alerts and ringtones. Finally, and what might be the most ******ED thing of all, is the text message sorting. WHY THE HELL ARE MY MOST RECENT INCOMING TEXTS not at the top of the list! This makes NO sense and might just be a deal breaker for me because I text a LOT for work, and this is my work phone. Anyone have any insight on this? Now onto the good.

Wary children return to schools after Nepal earthquake
Thousands of children affected by last month's earthquake in Nepal returned to schools on Sunday, a working day in the Himalayan nation, five weeks after the disaster killed more than 8,600 people and destroyed many homes.
Dressed informally, children clutched their parents' hands before filing past ruins of collapsed buildings to enter tarpaulin tents and makeshift cottages that will serve as their schools until their old one is re-built.
More than 32,000 classrooms were destroyed across Nepal when a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on April 25, affecting almost a third of the 28 million population. A second quake of 7.3 magnitude on May 12 led to no further deaths but hampered efforts to rebuild.
"I am nervous. It is painful to see my classroom in rubble," said Shasham Shrestha, a tenth grader at the Kuleswor Awas Secondary School in Kathmandu.
Shrestha and his friends stood near the collapsed walls of a classroom as teachers assured parents of safety and regular classes.
Hari Lamsal, an education ministry official, said opening of schools was important to show that life is getting back to normal.
"We will construct temporary learning centres for schools because reconstruction of old buildings will take time," Lamsal said.

The government and aid agencies have built 137 temporary learning centres for 14,000 children who attended schools across Nepal on Sunday.
Aid workers said over 4,500 education centres will have to be built to accommodate students who have been forced out of their classrooms by the earthquake.
Nearly a million children have been severely affected by the earthquakes, according to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
"Education can't wait for all recovery and reconstruction," Tomoo Hozumi, UNICEF representative in Nepal, told Reuters on a visit to temporary learning centre, a plastic roofed structure made from long bamboo strands woven as mats to create walls.
"Opening of schools even in temporary centres has several benefits. It provides psychosocial recovery of children who are in stress, protects them from violence ... the risk of being trafficked and their parents can go to work," Hozumi said.
UNICEF says $24.1m was needed to set up the learning centres, train more than 19,000 teachers and volunteers on psychosocial support.
School authorities said children will be made to play and interact with teachers before studies start in two weeks.

In early November 1834, an aristocratic young couple from Savannah and South Carolina sailed from New York and began a seventeen-year odyssey in West Africa. Leighton and Jane Wilson sailed along what was for them an exotic coastline, visited cities and villages, and sometimes ventured up great rivers and followed ancient paths. Along the way they encountered not only many diverse landscapes, peoples, and cultures but also many individuals on their own odysseys - including Paul Sansay, a former slave from Savannah; Mworeh Mah, a brilliant Grebo leader, and his beautiful daughter, Mary Clealand; and the wise and humorous Toko in Gabon. Leighton and Jane Wilson had freed their inherited slaves and were to become the most influential American missionaries in West Africa during the first half of the nineteenth century. While Jane established schools, Leighton fought the international slave trade and the imperialism of colonization. He translated portions of the Bible into Grebo and Mpongwe and thereby helped tolay the foundation for the emergence of an indigenous African Christianity.
The Wilsons returned to New York because of ill health, but their odyssey was not over. Living in the booming American metropolis, the Wilsons welcomed into their handsome home visitors from around the world as they worked for the rapidly expanding Protestant mission movement. As the Civil War approached, however, they heard the siren voice of their Southern homeland calling from deep within their memories. They sought to resist its seductions, but the call became more insistent and, finally, irresistible. In spite of their years of fighting slavery, they gave themselves to a history and a people committed to maintaining slavery and its deep oppression - both an act of deep love for a place and people and the desertion of a moral vision.
A sweeping transatlantic story of good intentions and bitter consequences, By the Rivers of Water reveals two distant worlds linked by deep faiths.

freed American slaves return to Africa
- Jean
I listened to this book twice back to back: but it was the story rather than the narration that held me. I think it was the most interesting and thought provoking book I read in 2014.
The whole book was memorable-every page was a learning experience for me.
I wasn't crazy about his performance to begin with but it grew on me.
The missionaries' move to Gabon introduced me to a period of West African history of which I was completely unaware.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the history of Protestant missions, of slavery in the American South, or of the colonial history of West Africa.

I was looking for information on a particular block pattern and pulled out so many quilt books, I found some I hadn't looked at in awhile. So, I thought that I would take a minute and look them over; then provide a review of a book for all of you.
One book that caught my eye was Quilts An American Legacy by Mimi Dietrich; copyright 1996 by Smithsonian Institution and That Patchwork Place, Inc. of Bothell, WA. I purchased the book in December 1999 for $4.98, but don't know where or what made me buy it. I don't recall anything in particular happening at that time. By the price I paid, I think that it must have been a bargain I couldn't pass up. The cover has a scrappy quilt and states that royalties paid to the Smithsonian benefit the care and conservation of the textile collection at the National Museum of American History. My eldest daughter just vacationed in Washington D.C. in August and, I believe that she visited this museum. I would certainly like to see the quilts in the collection.
The book is a collection of quilts from the Smithsonian National Collection with a contemporary interpretation by the author. Basic quilt-making instructions, patterns and templates are included in the back of the book. As I leafed through the book, the quilt that popped off the page for me was "Reel" made by Mrs. Annis Lawrence Curtis of Marcellus, New York, from the second quarter of the nineteenth century, measuring 80"X85" in blue and white. The fabrics and pattern are reminiscent of the Civil War. The pattern is also called "Hickory Leaf". You can view some of the quilts online in the The National Quilt Collection. A few of the quilts from the book are shown here.
Although I couldn't find a picture of the quilt in the online collection, I was able to find an example in The Quilt Index, a growing research and reference tool designed to provide unprecedented access to information and images about quilts held in private and public hands. The Quilt Index is a joint project of The Alliance for American Quilts, MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters and Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University and the Michigan State University Museum.
Quiltmaker: Troup, Nancy Marie (Grey)
[1850, Kansas Quilt Project] Kansas State Historical Society: Kansas Quilt Project
This pattern also reminds me of "Order #11", which was a pattern named after an order issued during the Civil War in Kansas. The pattern was published in the Kansas City Star in 1929. More information about quilts during the Civil War can be found in books by Barbara Brackman.
I hoped you've enjoyed this book review. Check out any or all of these references for a history on quilts and quiltmaking in America.

'Mum, I killed a man please call me back' Road rage killer's chilling message
ROAD rage killer Matthew Daley phoned his mum to tell her he knifed someone to death, a court heard.
Then he told her: "I want you to think about what I just said and ring me back in 10 minutes."
The call came hours after he stabbed 79-year-old Don Lock 39 times in the head, back neck and chest.
The "frenzied" attack followed a minor crash in which the retired solicitor bumped into the back of Daley's car at just 16mph, the court was Knife son's chilling message told.
Mum Linda Daley, 79, said she'd had a premonition her 35-year-old son, diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic, was going to hurt someone.
She had taken the day off work because of her constant fears about him.
She said it was "the day all your nightmares come true" and added: "I felt physically sick."
The jury at Lewes Crown Court, East Sussex, also heard Daley's police interview, in which he said Mr Lock had "invaded" his personal space.
"I wasn't thinking, I was just doing," he said.
"I stabbed him quite a few times."
Daley, formerly of Worthing, West Sussex, has admitted the killing on the A24 in Findon, but denies murder.
The trial continues.

Australian psych-rockers Tame Impala are back next week with their highly anticipated new LP Lonerism, the follow-up to 2010's acclaimed debut Innerspeaker. We've previously heard a trippy album cut titled 'Apocaylpse Dreams' and the churning single 'Elephant', and now you can stream the album in its entirety. Recorded by group mastermind Kevin Parker and once again mixed by Dave Friddmann, Lonerism is at once instantly recognisable as Tame Impala — buzzing, prog-influenced guitars; dreamy psych-pop vocals; occasionally discernible lyrics detailing solitude and alienation — and yet also somewhat of a departure, expanding their signature sound to include synths, drum machines and samples. The result is a wonderfully lush and expansive record of psychedelic slow-burns which take influence from the likes of Todd Rungren, The Flaming Lips and The Beatles but still manage to sound remarkably fresh and exciting. Lonerism feels like a natural progression from Innerspeaker, and I'm immensely pleased to report that it's already one of my favourite albums of the year.
Lonerism is out October 9 in the US, October 5 in Australia and October 8 in Europe. Stream it below (via NPR).

London, we salute you!
It's the time of the year again, the London Fashion Week! Just like every season, we have picked some of our favourite collections to show you... Here we go!
Markus Lupfer
We are all crazy cat ladies at Dahlia, we think those super cute kittens have totally stolen the show! Apart from the uber cool feline t-shirt and embroidered pieces, we also loved the contrast of the sci-fi metallic fabrics with the girly ruffles.
Holly Fulton
With Noosha Fox (the singer of the British-based pop band Fox in the mid-70s) as the muse of Holly Fulton's SS'14 collection, there's a fresh 70s vibe in the air - sideswept hair, printed denim pinafores, soft geometric, pale tones and Swedish Hasbeens worn throughout the show.
Simone Rocha
Citing Nobuyoshi Araki as her inspiration, PVC, garter socks and lots of sheer panels are used in the collection. The heavy use of pearls, forming tightly bound coils around models necks - reminiscent of Araki's strapped and bound subjects. We particularly loved the pearl-rimmed knee-high stockings and we guarantee that they will be on the top of every fashion victim's must have list next season.
Sister by Sibling
The SS'14 show kicked off with a model wearing the shortest pair of cut-offs we've ever seen and a pink "Lead Sister" sweatshirt. From monochrome crochet skirt suits, to oversized gingham sweater dresses, the design trio showed that wool is just as versatile for summer as it is winter.
Fashion East - Ryan Lo
How can you not fall in love with the dressing-up box, Sylvanian Family inspired, sugarcoated collection by the Hong Kong-born designer Ryan Lo? From piglets to playhouses this little collection was the definition of cuteness.

The chocolate itself is nice but the last 5 or 6 eggs have not had a
toy that you build up they have been solid toys, this is no good whatsoever for an eight year old. The price you pay for one now you would think it would be a toy that you would build up so the child used their brain to build it. Doubt if I will be buying anymore.

We've heard more Democrats talk lately about Jihadists than after Nidal Hasan's massacre
During the Government Shutdown, we've heard more Democrats talk about Jihadists than we have after Nidal Hasan's massacre (the families of the dead soldiers are still waiting for them to be treated as casualties of war) or the Boston Marathon Bombing.
When Muslims kill somebody, then the jaws of life won't pry open a liberal's mouth long enough to talk about Jihadists and 72 virgins. But they find their voice when they're trying to insult Republicans.
What's truly contemptible about this is that the only time liberals are prepared to drop remarks about 72 virgins and the dangers of Jihadism is when they're not actually dealing with Islamic terrorists. It's as if they were willing to call everyone Nazis... but the Nazis.
Cartoons like this and congressional rants about Republican "Jihadism" show full well that liberals know what Islamic terrorism is. Their temporary moments of ignorance are a front.
They know damn well that Muslim terrorists are blowing themselves up and why. They just maintain a bubble of silence about it.
Beyond all the dishonesty, there's something treasonous about that. They are showing that they know about the threat full well. They just aren't willing to acknowledge it. The only time they feel safe denouncing the Jihad is when they're using it as a metaphor for the Republican Party.
Liberals will call anyone a Nazi... but a Nazi.

According to this wiki entry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berthillon
"Like many family-run Paris businesses, Berthillon may be closed for part of the summer (usually the last two weeks of August)"
Is this correct? Does that also mean it would re-open bang on 1st September? I may only have this day then to taste this iconic icecream during my Paris trip..

Is Berthillon Ice-cream gonna be closed for last 2 weeks of August?
According to this wiki entry - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berthillon
Report Abuse
It's just ice cream, and plenty of other ice cream is just as good or better (in my opinion). Besides, you can buy it in other places, I sometimes have it for dessert in a cafe I frequent in MOntparnasse (La Rotonde), but I know lots of other places sell it, also. And yes, it is the same ice cream, you just don't have the same choice of flavors, of course, on other places. I find it surprising that this particular brand of ice cream is so famous, I don't get it, it seems like a lot of guidebook writers don't have anything interesting to actually write about and just copy others.
And yes, that is correct that is will probably be closed at that time in August. Some places don't open until the week of the rentrée, or opening of school, which is the week of September 3rd this year in Paris, I believe. Place that close at the end of August often do it by weeks, it isn't that Sept 1st is a magic day to reopen given it is a Saturday.
So sure, it is good ice cream, but don't think it's so important if it is closed. And it might not be to your taste, after all, ice cream varies a lot and what someone things is so great, someone else may not. I think it is a very high-fat, dense ice cream. Some people may not like that.
Berthillon's own website says: >>Pour l'été, notre boutique sera fermée du 22 juillet au soir au mercredi 5 septembre au matin.>>
exactly what I suspected, it is closed until sept. 5th
Report Abuse
Well Paris is full of sweet-treats and you are right Christina..it is just an icecream at the end of it
I'd keep it for next visit's agenda
Report Abuse
I prefer Amorino on the Rue de Buci.
I am pretty sure they sell Berthillon ice cream in the supermarkets of Paris.
Report Abuse
I also like Amorino more
If I remember, ther are several location in the city.
Report Abuse
I like Amorino a LOT better than Berthillon.
Report Abuse
While I don't like Amorino better than Berthillon, it is wonderful. There is an outlet on the Ile de St Louis. You can get Berthillon at a lot of cafes and restaurants but usually you can't find the unusual and delicious flavors they have at their stores. You will not want for ice cream or gelato in Paris.
Report Abuse
Amorino is really, really great...and there are several locations around Paris...including one just down the street from Berthillon on Ile St Louis and one on R. Vielle du Temple about 2 blocks of R. Rivoli.
Report Abuse
When you walk down the main street of Ile St Louis you will find signs for other outlets selling Berthillon ice cream so don't worry. I find it hilarious that an ice cream maker closes during one of the hottest times of the year! LOL
Report Abuse
Hi guys, I'd check out Amorino definitely. I have a sweet tooth, not particularly into icecreams though. But, this is my first of the (hopefully) many trips to Paris and the first one goes to a lot of "popular" tourist traps or "tourist must-do's" as one takes it.
Report Abuse
I wouldn't call Amorino a tourist trap, though I'd definitely call Berthillon one. Maybe Amorino has become one, too - I dunno. And I don't eat sweets of any kind normally, so don't make a special effort to get there, but I do enjoy the rue de Buci whenever I'm in Paris, and when it's hot and I'm in the mood, Amarino fills a spot.
Report Abuse
Another vote for Amorino
Report Abuse
oh....I just realized that Amorino on Rue De Buci is practically next door to my hotel. I'm in trouble now
On my first trip to Paris I had ice cream from Berthillon at a cafe near Notre Dame. I had the chocolate noir, and i thought it was the most intense and choocolatey ice cream I'd ever tasted. I look forward to making further comparisons!
Report Abuse
You might also like the classic gelateria Pozzetto on the rue du Roi de Sicile in the Marais. Have no idea if it closes in August, though.
Report Abuse
No place can be a "tourist trap" just because a lot of tourists go there. These are legitimate businesses, and there are just a lot of tourists who go there to the ones in the center, actually, it is the location. Berthillon is something guidebooks like to talk about, so tourists go there a lot and make special plans for it. I don't know why, obviously, it is just ice cream. Neither of these companies was founded or designed solely to cater to tourists. Some place like Disneyland, now that's a tourist trap.
Report Abuse
Thanks StCirq, I'd check it out if I'm in that area..this seems to be fast becoming an eating spree trip and yeah I think Amorino is also catching up on the internet as one of the top-10 sweet-treat experiences while in Paris...atleast based on what I've been reading up.
china_cat, hehe, count your lucky stars for being next-door to fasttrack ticket to heaven and go indulge!
ira, I won't go out of my way to eat Amorino, but if I come across one, I'd be sure to drop in
Report Abuse
There are at least two Amorinos in Paris.
Here's a detailed guide for sweets all over:
Report Abuse
Berthillion closes in summer, but they provide enough frozen inventory to other shops to allow their ice cream to be continuously available throughout the summer months. Most of the places selling the ice cream are on the Ile Saint Louis.
Amorino is all over Paris these days, or at least they have a lot more than two stores. They are the ones who make you pay before being served, so that you can't just take the ice cream and run.
There are many Haagen-Dazs locations, too, and a handful of Ben & Jerry's locations.
On the Montmartre Butte, there is Tutti Sensi, which has excellent home-made ice cream. They are my personal preference.
Report Abuse
AnothonyGA, I do have Ben & Jerrys and Haagen Daaz often as it is easily available in Asia now. But my personal preference is artisan home-made desserts. Tutti Sensi sounds good.
Report Abuse
I am just going to say that I stood in line on Christmas Eve for Berthillon ice cream and we were the only tourists. Everyone else was local and picking up ice cream for Christmas Eve dinners/gatherings.
I have not had Amorino yet, but Berthillon salted butter caramel ice cream is the best I have had anywhere. The blood orange sorbet is also wonderful. I am sure both are great and to the OP, I didn't make to Berthillon on my first trip to Paris. Always a reason to go back.
Report Abuse
denisea, yes. Here's to a future of possibilities and multiple Paris trips If I come across vendors selling genuine Berthillon icecream, or come across Amorino outlet, i'd definitely buy. But would not go looking for it. I am sure I'd serendipitiously bump into gorgeous looking and yummy tasting sweet treats in Paris while I am leisurely strolling somewhere (as I imagine it )

After two seasons in the playoffs, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about within and surrounding the Cincinnati Bengals. However, with two first round losses since Andy Dalton took over as the franchise's starting quarterback, there are also reasons to feel anxious and uncomfortable moving forward with this roster.
Striking a balance between improvements and continuity within the doors of the locker room is the greatest challenge of any general manager and his coaching staff. Even though the Bengals have ended their seasons earlier than initially hoped for the past two years, there is no need for radical changes this off-season.
Although the last two years will go down as the first in the Dalton era, the reality is the two teams were very different from season to season. None of BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Marvin Jones, Mohamed Sanu, Trevor Robinson, Terence Newman, Kevin Zeitler, Wallace Gilberry, Vontaze Burfict or even Leon Hall carried the roles with this franchise that they did last year, the previous season. In fact, of that group only Hall was actually on the roster at any point during the season.
The Bengals had a very active off-season in 2012 that saw the roster endure much turnover, adding new faces to both sides of the ball. With plenty of cap space and a similar result to the 2012 season, one would be forgiven for expecting a similar season of change this year.
Instead of adding free agents, whether they be big name or lesser additions, the Bengals' primary focus in free agency will focus around re-signing their own starters. Andre Smith, Bernard Scott, Bruce Gradkowski, Pat Sims, Robert Geathers, Gilberry, Michael Johnson, Manny Lawson, Rey Maualuga, Thomas Howard, Nate Clements, Chris Crocker, Newman, Adam Jones, Kevin Huber, Mike Nugent, Clark Harris and Josh Brown are all coming free of their contracts.
It's plausible that the Bengals have varying levels of interest in re-signing each of those players. Obviously within the draft the Bengals will bring in new faces to fill roles, but free agency should be much of the same players signing contracts.
That may initially underwhelm fans who are hoping for big name additions, but the reality is that the Bengals roster is set up for development from within rather than addition from outside. Last year's draft offered a huge amount of promise from top to bottom, but the production in year one was relatively small compared to that promise.
Players such as Zeitler, Sanu, Jones and Burfict did perform, but there were many rookies who barely saw the field. Dre Kirkpatrick, George Iloka, Devon Still, Brandon Thompson, Orson Charles, Shaun Prater and Dan Herron will all be expected to perform more in their second seasons.
In order to do that, the Bengals coaching staff must focus much of their off-season work on developing each individual player into the roles that fit the team. While they are limited in the time they can spend with their younger players, they can simply help their development by being confident enough in them to not bring in replacements or superstars who drain any optimism that they need to work for the positions.
There is no doubt a lot of raw physical talent in that class, so the Bengals won't be scared of pushing the players towards their potential and making use of them early on in their careers. Should even one third of those players step up, the Bengals would have a very different looking roster. So if they all do, as unlikely as that is, the Bengals will once again have a completely new team in 2013.
A completely new team not made of completely new faces.

We're proud to have 4WD onboard as sponsors of our events. Bull Run Raceway has classes for every age to race from children to grandparents and everything in between.
Columbiana, Ohio (PRWEB) July 18, 2015
Leading provider of aftermarket Jeep parts and accessories, 4WD, is among sponsors for the Bull Run Raceway sand and uphill drags happening this weekend July 18-19.

"On Saturday, Jeeps, cars and dragsters will take on 300 feet of sand drag and then 900 feet of shut down," says Doug Smith, Co-owner and Builder at Bull Run Raceway. "Everybody's pleased with the way the track turned out and people from as far away as western Michigan and West Virginia have been here to experience it."
The tracks are designed to drain quickly in case of rain and have extra material onsite to add to weather storms. The uphill drags run 125 feet long on an index pro tree and cars run side by side.
"We're proud to have 4WD onboard as sponsors of our events," says Dave Dorn, Bull Run Raceway Track Manager. "Bull Run Raceway has classes for every age to race from children to grandparents and everything in between."
