DESIGN YOUR OWN AUSSIE SIZE PLATE and have a unique product that none of your mates have, as our plates lend themselves very well to the 'custom' side of things. You could promote your region/town to tourists; provide a souvenir of a tourist attraction; promote your business; or promote your car club or rally with our customised items. Each sign is top quality aluminium a little under 1 mm thick, with a lovely gloss finish, that only our high quality dye sublimation process and photo quality digital printing methods will give, so if you would like plates made to your design, we can easily do this for you. Virtually anything you want can be created with our digital equipment. The Key is Good Art!
This type of plate comes standard as completely flat and non-embossed but for a little more cost we are able to give it a pressed out embossed border, or a pressed out embossed border and characters, so you have a choice. Please select your preference from the drop down menu.
These novelty number plates are made from high quality aluminium and the artwork applied by a dye sublimation process with a lovely gloss finish. They measure 37 x 13 cm, exactly the same as the traditional fully embossed type of plate and look just like our other Aussie made novelty number plates; even the mounting holes are in exactly the same positions, so they can easily be hung on display indoors or outdoors. One great advantage the flat non-embossed version is that owing to the absence of embossed border, and being just under 1 mm thick, it's quite flexible and will flex about 10 cm from the centre, so can be mounted on curved surfaces.
Each embossed rim style plate is sealed in a clear plastic sleeve, and each flat non-embossed plate is shrink-sealed in plastic film, so both types are ready for retail display, plus we offer the option of fixing them to a cardboard display card, so they can then be hung and displayed on the same display racks that are used for the other Aussie size plates we sell. To see what the display card looks like please click here
For protection during delivery we use extra packing materials to ensure they arrive in tip-top condition

Important note about images we provide : Just as we sometimes see that "pricing is subject to change without notice", so too are "designs subject to change without notice". In 99.99% of cases, what you see on Dixie's website or brochure is what you get. However, there are the odd times when designs have changed in some small way (eg: maybe a logo moves to a different location on the item, or the colour changes). Sometimes this information doesn't always trickle down until the new designs are manufactured and shipped to Dixie. We hope this is helpful and understandable.

It should bounce back.
Remember that the scoring system was originally designed by the Big Banks and Financial institutions to protect them from making bad loans.
When you dispute something, they don't like it. They will even note on your accounts the results of any disputes you file.
My score dropped 53 points on 1of my credit report for a dispute on a charge to one of my CC accounts. They found in the merchants favor so I still had to pay the debt but my score dropped as a warning to other lenders that I may not be just a passive customer but a trouble maker.
The reality is that these kinds of dings to your score are basicly temporary, Go about your business, make your payments on time and your scores will generally bounce back in a couple of months.
Good luck

People-centered design is a rapid and iterative interaction design methodology focused on understanding and engaging individuals in ways that are useful, usable, and desirable.
While there is no perfect 'one size fits all' approach, the essence is as follows:
- Understand the mission, vision, and stakeholders
- Conduct some research, including competitive and audience
- Develop insights through models, stories, prototypes
- Iterate design through rapid, low fidelity techniques
- Get the big questions answered before you niggle the details
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
– Samuel Beckett

text: How to make an Aircraft Carrier Published on March 29 2012 by AnshanJohn Bows wow as giant future carrier section joins her sister in Rosyth News Bows wow as giant future carrier section joins her sister in Rosyth 29 March 2012 The bow of future carrier HMS Prince of Wales has joined that of her sister Queen Elizabeth on the Forth after a 900-mile barge journey. The 400-tonne bulbous section was transported from Appledore in north Devon to Rosyth, where the biggest ships built in the Royal Navy's history are being assembled. Pictures: Aircraft Carrier Alliance SIDE-by-side for the very first time are Her Majesty's Ships Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales (nearest the camera) – well their bows at least. The very bulbous section of the second of the Royal Navy's two future carriers was delivered to Rosyth on the Firth of Forth, where the 65,000-tonne leviathans are being assembled. Just under two years since the bow of Queen Elizabeth was completed at the Appledore yard in North Devon, the same segment for her younger sister was floated on a sea-going barge up the Torridge and Taw estuaries into the Bristol Channel, around Land's End, along the South Coast, through the Dover Strait and up the East Coast, before passing under the iconic Forth road and rail bridges and into Rosyth. At 400 tonnes, the bulbous bow weighs the equivalent of nearly 40 double-decker buses and is similar in size to the front of a submarine. It arrived at the Babcock yard under what was described as a "typically gunmetal sky" – ie grey – and is now sitting next to the specially-enlarged Dock No.1 where the 900ft carriers are being assembled one at a time. Half a dozen yards around the UK are involved in the carrier project, with some 10,000 people directly or indirectly involved in building sections, parts or providing equipment for what will be the largest ships ever built for Britain's Navy. Although there is intense media speculation about the outfitting of the two ships – whether they'll be conventional carriers with 'cats and traps' or serve as launchpads for jump jet versions of the F35 Joint Strike Fighter – work on the vessels continues apace. Lower Block 05 is accurately weighed in the huge ship construction hall in Portsmouth In Portsmouth, Queen Elizabeth has been 'fired up' for the first time. With all the switchboards wired, Lower Block 02 was switched on – the first time power has been applied to any part of the ship. The work was due to be carried out in Rosyth, but with things going faster than expected, the decision was taken to power up six months ahead of schedule. The team at the BAE Systems facility are now preparing that section, and another giant slice of Queen Elizabeth – Lower Block 05 – for transportation to Scotland. Block 05 leaves at the end of April, 02 a month later – but before they leave the construction shed and are lowered on to a barge, they have to be weighed. Obviously bathroom scales won't do. Carefully-position hydraulic jacks and sensitive load cells convert force into an electrical signal which in turn is translated into an accurate measurement of the block's weight. "Getting the weight and centre of gravity right is really important when it comes to arranging for sections to be safely lifted – or moved by barge," explained Paul Bowsher of the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, the combined BAE-Thales-Babcock and MOD team working on the huge project. "We weigh each section at least three times to make sure the readings are accurate."

Business Continuity is often described as 'just common sense'. It is about taking responsibility for your business and enabling it to stay on course whatever storms it is forced to weather. It is about "keeping calm and carrying on"!
BC is about building and improving resilience in your business; it's about identifying your key products and services and the most urgent activities that underpin them and then, once that 'analysis' is complete, it is about devising plans and strategies that will enable you to continue your business operations and enable you to recover quickly and effectively from any type disruption whatever its size or cause. It gives you a solid framework to lean on in times of crisis and provides stability and security. In fact, embedding BC into your business is proven to bring business benefits.
Business Continuity (BC) is defined as the capability of the organization to continue delivery of products or services at acceptable predefined levels following a disruptive incident. (Source: ISO 22301:2012)
Business Continuity Management (BCM) is defined as a holistic management process that identifies potential threats to an organization and the impacts to business operations those threats, if realized, might cause, and which provides a framework for building organizational resilience with the capability of an effective response that safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value-creating activities. (Source: ISO 22301:2012)
At the heart of good BC practice, sits the BCM Lifecycle.
The BCM Lifecycle shows the stages of activity that an organization moves through and repeats with the overall aim of improving organizational resilience. These stages are referred to as the Professional Practices and are made up of Management and Technical Practices.

My life is certainly no different. I can't get through a day without reading stories about poisonous salmon, deodorants being linked to cancer, or landfill sites reaching full capacity. I gasp at the saddening and maddening facts about our wasteful and contradictory lives - that globally, $33bn (£18.45bn) is spent on makeup and perfume annually, whereas just $29bn a year would be required to eliminate hunger and provide clean water to all; or that the US has more private vehicles on the road than people licensed to drive them.
But I also prefer to switch over to EastEnders or turn to the football results than dwell too long on all that nasty, negative stuff. Besides, what can "little me" do about it all?
It was against this backdrop that I was set a challenge by the Guardian. Could I - someone living a typically comfortable and routine life in a city suburb - take a step back from my daily habits and consumer choices, and try to understand their true impact? Could I, over the course of a few months, start to lead a more ethical life, in which I reduced, to use a popular axiom, my "footprint on the earth", as well as being a more positive force both to myself and those around me? Could I join the small but growing proportion of society striving to live less wastefully; those that, according to the Ethical Consumerism Report 2003, pushed sales of organic food over the £1bn mark last year, up from £390m in 1999, and which in 2002 spent £19.9bn on a wide range of ethical purchases, from free-range eggs to A-rated energy-efficient appliances?
This wasn't to be an exercise in dropping out and taking up life as a hermit on a croft in the Scottish Highlands. Nor was it to be an attempt to replicate Tom and Barbara's stab at Good Life self-sufficiency in the suburbs. I wouldn't have a manifesto as such; the idea was to simply see where the journey would lead me. There was certainly no anticipation of a day when I would, like a Weight Watchers champion, proudly crack open the organic champagne and declare: "I've done it, my life is completely guilt-free."
But I spotted a problem immediately. I was going to need some help - someone to kick my weak-willed, unethical butt whenever I wavered and started to shows signs of giving up. But I wasn't interested in someone entering my life who eats only tofu burgers and says that they are in touch with their chi. If I was to connect with this experiment, I wanted serious professionals who could explain with reason - and preferably hard science - why I needed to make changes to my life.
Upon reflection, I felt that I needed help in three key areas - the food I eat, the environmental damage I'm responsible for, and understanding more about the power that big corporations and government hold over us all.
Three people answered my call: Renee Elliott, council member of the Soil Association and founder of the Planet Organic shops; Mike Childs, campaign director at Friends of the Earth; and Hannah Berry, writer and researcher at Ethical Consumer magazine. Between them, I hoped, they would provide the spur I required.
However, a second - and probably more fearsome - hurdle I faced was my family. If I wasn't to give up after the first weekend, I was going to have to bring my partner Jane and our baby daughter Esme along too. Jane, it has to be said, needed some convincing, especially after I explained how the challenge would commence - namely, that the three "ethical auditors" would enter our house and ask us a series of probing, personal questions about our lifestyle. The thought, she said, of anyone rummaging through our kitchen cupboards, or asking us what loo paper we use, was abhorrent. I agreed, but managed to sign her up with the promise that the experiment may lead me, at the very least, to take more of an interest in how the house got cleaned.
Next, we had to define what we meant by "a more ethical lifestyle". The intention wasn't to create a diet-like set of rules that we would fret about if we broke ("If you enter that McDonald's, you won't just be letting me down, you'll be letting yourself down"). Rather, it was to be about living out a daily battle where we fought to establish priorities and tackle dilemmas: if you have to choose, is Fair Trade coffee better than organic? Are disposable nappies OK to use at night if washable ones leak? Should I always give loose change to someone holding a collection box in their hand? In terms of pollution, should I get the bus or the train to work? Should I let my child watch television adverts?
It was with these questions in mind that invitations for lunch - and to audit our lives - were dispatched to Renée, Mike and Hannah.
After a few pleasantries by the front door, the auditors don't waste any time and move straight into the kitchen armed with their clipboards. "Do you mind if we open your fridge?" asks Renée. "I love looking in people's fridges." As she scrutinises the contents, I feel as if she is reading my diary - it says almost as much about me. Are we a margarine or butter family? Do we eat ready meals? Have we bought own-brand, multi-packs of yoghurt for our child? How long has that tin of tuna with clingfilm over it been languishing at the back? Didn't you know that cooked and uncooked meat should be kept apart?
Soon the auditors are holding up packs of mangetout and tutting that the contents have been flown in from Kenya. And asking whether my milk is organic. And noticing that my eggs are free-range, but not organic.
It gets worse. They move on to the cupboard under the sink stuffed with cleaning products. "Why would you keep so many poisons in a room where you prepare food, Leo?" asks Hannah, holding up a can of oven cleaner.
Next, the bathroom. "Do you know what this soap does to your skin every time you use it? And just look at the contents list of this moisturiser," says Renée.
Reams of notes are taken about how we wash our baby's bottom, what make our television set is, what we do with our plastic bags, how we commute to work, whether we eat takeaway food, what bank accounts we have, and whether we know our neighbours.
Lunch throws up more problems. What on earth do you give an ethical auditor for lunch? Are they vegetarians? Or vegans? Or that thing where you only eat windfall fruit?
They kindly try to put us at ease by asking us just to serve something that we would typically eat. Jane and I desperately rifle through the contents of our cupboards, looking for something that will ooze class and sophistication as well as earning ethical brownie points, but we just keep pulling out tins of baked beans and jars of mango chutney. Luckily, we do have some lettuce, a few eggs, some green beans, a tin of tuna and a jar of olives so we have a go at making a salad nicoise. At least it's healthy, we think, as we pull up our chairs.
"Are these the non-organic eggs from your fridge?" asks Renee.
"Is that tuna in there, Leo? I'm vegetarian," says Hannah.
"Where are these beans from? Have they been air-freighted in from abroad, or grown locally?" asks Mike.
Half an hour later and the plates are mostly clear, despite the odd flake of scraped-away tuna or crumb of egg. I feel like I've just forced a herd of sheep into a pen full of wolves.
Over the next few weeks we start to act on the advice handed out by the auditors and slowly begin to analyse every area of our lives. We go organic, start doing voluntary work, move our money into ethical bank accounts, put Esme into washable nappies, change our fly/drive holiday plans to a walking holiday, recycle more, start a wormery in our backyard, use less gas and water and change our deodorants. In fact, it is so all-consuming that at one point friends start to joke that they think we have joined a cult.
Our journey is still ongoing - and should never end, of course, according to the auditors - but throughout the past few months, as well as acting on the auditors' advice, we have also been receiving hundreds of emails from readers of the Guardian's website where I have been posting updates about the experiment. Most offer practical and hugely welcome advice (ethical methods to deter slugs that attack your garden herbs, and the like). Many have recommended reading to inspire us (Gandhi, Plato, Aristotle and Peter Singer, to name a few; one reader even asked if I wanted to download the lyrics of Dido, but I think that may have been sent by mistake). I have even received hate mail (is that ethical?) along the lines of "having children is the most unethical thing you can ever do, so try ceasing that for starters". But overall I look forward to the constant flow of advice and expressions of interest.
Living through an experiment that invites constant criticism of your life leaves you vulnerable and raw. At times it seems that there are few highs and many lows - you always seem to feel guilty, it is hard work and you have to battle against appearing smug and self-righteous. But I have found that the trick to avoiding the feeling that your life is one drawn-out exercise in self-flagellation is to make sure that you retain a sense of perspective and humour throughout. No, you can't save the world, but you have made more of an effort than you did yesterday.
Besides, I always like to recall one particular benefit to our new lifestyle - we now get to excuse ourselves from doing the much-dreaded weekly supermarket shop "on ethical grounds".

The Eastern Continental Divide at Blackberry Cabin
Driving home from Boone, NC, I was so surprised to see the sign that read "Eastern Continental Divide" two miles from my house. I started researching it on-line and found North America has 3-5 continental divides according to the drainage basins. Of course most people know about the The Great Divide in the West but there is also the Northern, the Eastern and the St Lawrence Sea Way. These divides separate the watersheds that drain into the oceans.
The Eastern Continental Divide runs south through New York down the Appalachian mountains to the watershed of the Florida Bay, which then separates into the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the info on this subject I found on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. There is so much more than the simplistic definition here, but I thought it so interesting.

Blake Shelton is getting ready to return to the road next month, and just shared with fans some of the things he does to get ready before a big show. Not surprisingly, one of Blake's main pre-concert rituals is to have a few drinks before taking the stage because he says he "likes to feel like I'm on the same level of that crowd out there."
Blake also listens to music before a show to make sure he's having just as fun as his fans are. He notes, "they come here to have a good time, and I want to be having a good time when I get out on stage."
Blake kicks off the next leg of his tour September 9th in Oklahoma, City.

i only have my boys living with me, my daughter doesnt. (its a little bit complicated)
I dont have any support from any of their fathers. The baby dad "says" he will be involved but I dont hear from him very often...Which I am not worried about that, I would rather have no father for my children then a father that says he will be there to the kid and never shows up (if that makes sense)

Tighter security at boxing fight after Gary Hutch killing
'We don't want any revenge attacks' say family of slain Hutch
Slain gangland figure Gary Hutch's mother pleaded for no retaliation for her son's gun death in Spain, saying: "Let God be our judge."
Kay Hutch told hundreds of mourners at his funeral that the family does not want to see further violence.
"We don't want any retaliation. We don't want any family to feel the pain we are feeling. Our son is gone, so let God be our judge," she said.
However, according to today's Irish Examiner, garda security arrangements are to be put in place for a potential flashpoint between gangland members following the funeral yesterday.
There are fears that an upcoming boxing match in Dublin could spark a revenge attack for Hutch's death. The boxing match involves a club associated with a well-known Irish trafficking syndicate.
Yesterday, parish priest Fr Richard Ebejer said "evil does not overcome evil" and told the congregation they were not there to judge the circumstan- ces of Hutch's death, but to mourn.
Dubliner Hutch (34) - a nephew of former criminal Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch - was gunned down outside his Spanish apartment as he returned from a morning jog two weeks ago.
His funeral Mass was held yesterday at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Sean McDermott Street.
Hutch's close pal 'Fat' Freddie Thompson was a noticeable absentee, as were several other of his close associates.
Thompson's attendance was always in doubt as he is regarded as the next target of the Christy Kinahan gang.
Friends took turns to carry Hutch's coffin, which featured a carved image of the Last Supper, as it made its way down the north inner city street just before 11am.
During Mass, several offertory gifts signifying Hutch's interests in life were brought to the altar including a motorcycle helmet, boxing gloves and a Dublin GAA jersey.
Also present were councillor and former Lord Mayor Christy Burke, Labour TD Joe Costello and former Dublin GAA selector Paul Caffrey, who is a garda based in the inner city.
Fr Ebejer called on the "cycle of violence" to be broken by not seeking revenge for Hutch's violent death.
He described Hutch as a "family man" who was "a great dad to his daughter".
"We are all aware of the circumstances surrounding Gary's death. We are not here to judge, but to mourn," he said.
"To those who are here, especially the young, I repeat the words of St Paul: 'Do not overcome evil by evil, but overcome evil by good'.
"He had a few downs in his life and made a few mistakes, but things were getting better. He loved his family."
A letter was read out on behalf of Hutch's brother, Derek 'Del Boy' Hutch, who is serving a lengthy prison term for manslaughter.
He was refused temporary release for the funeral but was allowed to view his brother's body at a funeral home on Sunday evening.
There was a visible garda presence in and around the north inner city before yesterday's Mass.
A detective unit from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) patrolled the area, while a uniformed garda stood watch at the entrance to Champions Avenue from where Hutch's body was being brought to the church.
Undercover officers kept a discreet watch on the cortege.
Dozens of locals also waited outside during the Mass, while around 50 mourners later travelled to Glasnevin Cemetery for Hutch's burial.

I know many of you (including me) are trying to maintain a more balanced, healthier way of eating in 2012, so I'd like to introduce you to a new website (that I'm very excited about!) called The Balanced Platter (TBP).
TBP's primary focus is to show you how simple it is to eat well and live a balanced life. TBP is unique, because several amazing bloggers in the gluten free/allergy free community will contribute to the site offering different perspectives on healthy living (for the whole family).
The Balanced Platter was founded by Amy Green of Simply Sugar & Gluten Free and Maggie Savage of She Let Them Eat Cake (I'm a big fan of both these ladies!).
Through the month of January, TBP is hosting a month long event called Balanced, Healthy, and Gluten Free in 2012. Gluten free bloggers will contribute recipes and tips on eating healthy and living balanced – AND there will be a giveaway on February 1st, so make sure you stay tuned for more details! Sign up to receive all the latest updates from The Balanced Platter on Facebook and Twitter.
My Fish Ceviche recipe is today's contribution to Balanced, Healthy, and Gluten Free in 2012 – thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this, Amy and Maggie!
Ceviche ("seh-BEE-chay") is a popular dish in South America. The first time I sampled ceviche (it was soooo long ago!) I was working in the reservations center of a small local commuter airline in Anchorage. I worked with a few Latino women who would make ceviche occasionally for the many potlucks we had. I fell absolutely in love with it. It's the perfect blend of tartness, saltiness, and spiciness – great for eating with gluten free flour tortillas, brown rice snaps, corn chips (for those of you who tolerate corn), or for using as a lettuce wrap filling (I added more Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce to my lettuce wraps – YUM!).
By all means, feel free to get creative with how you use your ceviche!
Ceviche is made with raw fish; however, the acid from the limes and lemons change the protein structure of the fish, basically "cooking" it without using heat. The translucent fish will quickly become an opaque white as it sits (or "cooks") in the acidic marinade.
I recommend using only fresh WILD CAUGHT fish in this recipe.
Tomatoes are commonly found in ceviche, so if you tolerate them, feel free to add chopped/seeded tomatoes in to the mix!
Fish Ceviche Recipe:
1.5 – 2 pounds cod (or halibut, red snapper, or another firm white fish), completely boned, skinned, and cut into 3/4 inch pieces
1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 – 2 Serrano peppers, seeded and finely chopped (CAUTION: Remember to always use rubber gloves when chopping and seeding hot peppers or other chilies)
1/2 cup lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1 – 3 teaspoons Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce (depending on how spicy you like it)
1/2 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
- Blot off the excess moisture from the fish using paper towels, then place the fish, onion, and Serrano peppers in a (non-reactive) glass 9″ x 13″ baking dish.
- In a medium sized (non-reactive) mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lemon juice, sea salt, and Sriracha; pour the mixture over the raw fish. Mix until combined.
- Cover, and place in the refrigerator. Allow the fish to marinade for 2 hours, then mix, place back in the refrigerator, and allow to sit for another 8 to 10 hours for the flavors to blend together (I make my ceviche in the evening and allow it to sit overnight).
- Stir in the cilantro before serving and garnish with avocado.
Wishing you a very healthy and balanced 2012!

ok-so these before pics are so very embarrassing.
Yes, I did take them when the room was at it's worst, but still.
No, I promise, I don't live like a pig. (usually)
Here is my dilemma with this room. I have a green wall.
NO big deal right? Just paint it. Easy fix
Well, the lovely homeowners before us, loved this green color so much, they put in matching carpet.
I can't replace the carpet. Not in the near future anyway.
So, I kept the green wall. I figure it makes the putrid carpet look less bad. (i know, terrible grammar)
Here is the first before and after. I thought, instead of fighting the wall, I would work with it.Yes-I LOVE old windows. The best part about this love. I can get them for free.
So, I have quite the stash. I use them for clients all the time, so I hung some for easy access. When I use them up, I will just hang some more. Plus, I love how they look.
I also have a tendency to buy frames. I love chunky ones, skinny ones, plastic whatever. There is no favoritism here. So-I used them to my advantage.
I must admit, they look much cuter on the wall, than in the tote in the closet.
this before is pretty bad. So sorry you have to look at it :)I know that this is not quite the same angle, but you get the point right?
I know that there are some of you out there, who make your computer look all pretty in a cabinet or something else to enclose it.
Well-my husband is a freak and he hates to confined when he surfs the net.
See my curtains? More about those later.Holy crap! Whoever lives here is a HOG!!!
This was my work space. I use this room everyday, multiple times a day-so I have to have somewhere to work. This was so not working.
What do you think?I am pretty proud of myself for coming up with this idea.
This is a plate rack. You know the kinds that you hang on your wall. Well-I don't really have anywhere to use this the way it's supposed to-so voila!
A purse hanger. This is not ALL of my purses, but I am looking at them thinking that I don't have enough and I MUST get more. This was what the closet looked like before. Lame closet doors, but behind those doors was a huge closet that I knew I could use to my advantage. Yes-I know this looks like chaos still, but it is organized chaos.
I told you the closet was huge!! I can now put all of my crap in here, and it is much easier to get too. Plus, it looks so much better!!Alright-now back to the curtains. I had one 32" pillow valancy thingy that tied up.
It was originally in my bathroom, but I changed my mind and switched it out for something else. So-the panel was sitting in my linen closet on the shelf that is completely full of old curtains. (I know, you just never know when you might need them)
So-I cut the curtain up. I needed some fabric to recover my footstool.
Then, I cut the ties and used some of the tie to tie back the panels. (the curtain was not wide enough to cover the whole window) I still had some tie back left-so I hot glued it around the lamp shade.
The best part-it was all FREE!!! My husband was not as impressed as he should have been. That is why I have to blog about it, I need someone to tell me what a genius I am! :) Last pic-I promise. I needed a skirt to cover more crap that I have. So, I cut a drop cloth in half and hot glued it to my table.
SO much better!
Total cost of this room: $5.00-This was for the rolly chair that my husband for me from work! Heck, it even matches!! Score!
Now, tell me the truth-did you really even notice the green wall all that much?
How about the crappy green carpet?
It is such a nicer place to work now.
Maybe I will be able to get more done?
Yea-probably not.

Barclaycard have announced the launch of their new way to pay, the PayTag, which lets you pay for items with your mobile phone.
Millions of Barclaycard customers will be given the chance to make payments with any mobile device by simply sticking a PayTag to the back of their handset.
After attaching the extra card, cardholders will be able to use them at contactless terminals up to the value of £15, without entering a PIN code.
According to David Chan, CEO of Barclaycard Consumer Europe, the PayTag will make everyday payments easier and more convenient:
"More than half of us say that the item were most lost without is our mobile phone, so were giving people the option of using them to make easy, convenient, everyday payments without the need to upgrade their current handset.
This news comes just days after experts warned over the security behind the growing number of cash-less payment systems.
However, Barclaycard say that the technology is safe and secure, and comes with the same 100 per cent fraud protection as any Barclaycard.
An exclusive group of customers will be invited to receive their Barclaycard PayTag in the coming weeks, before they are offered to millions of Barclaycard customers later in the year.
So far, contactless payment is permitted at stores including Tesco, Boots, Pret a Manger and Eat.
For more information and to register your interest in the Barclaycard PayTag, visit barclaycard.co.uk/paytag

Franklin Graham Launches 50 State Prayer Tour
Carrie DedrickReligious persecution, missions, Christianity around the world
- 2015 Apr 16
Evangelical leader Franklin Graham has announced a 50-state prayer tour that will take place in 2016. The president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse will travel across the country, stopping in each state to hold a prayer rally for the nation's leaders, Charisma News reports.
Graham announced the event, which he named the Decision America Tour, on Facebook.
He wrote, "America is in trouble. At 62 years of age, I've lived long enough to learn that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can turn this country around; no political party or politician is the answer. The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ."
He continued, "I want to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and to pray for our nation and its leaders. I want to encourage Christians to get out and vote, and to cast their ballots for candidates who uphold biblical principles."
Graham then encouraged Christians to get involved with politics by putting their names on ballots.
"I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level—local, state and federal," Graham wrote. "We will not be endorsing any political candidates, but I will be proclaiming the truth of God's gospel in every state. More details will come later. I hope you will start praying with us now."

Meet up: Who do you want to BE? 3pm Sat Oct 29 (Ho Chi Minh City)
Thank you for reading this!
In our previous meet up "No one cares about you", we shared about:
It's pretty 'painful' when we think about "no one cares about me",
but at the same time, it gives us more freedom to do what we want to do,
without need to think if someone cares about it or not.
In my conversation with T, a student, he said:
Before he cared a lot about title of someone, or if people care about what he posted on Facebook (by likes & comments),
the meet up reminds him that: no one cares about it.
He also shared that: he lives in a dormitory with many other roommates,
(around 18 people live in one room)
although live among people, he still feels lonely.
That's also a reason I want to share my personal purpose of creating this meet up group.
The ultimate purpose is: to create a community of people who can help each other,
and help other people.
It's as simple as, and can start with: create a safe environment to share.
The story of T, who feel lonely, although live among people aren't uncommon.
We feel lonely, not because of there are not people around us,
but because of not many people knows the REAL you.
And sometime, it's not easy to be the REAL you if you don't have environment to be so.
It may take time to build trust, and to build comfortable feeling,
but I want to offer an environment to accept being real and vulnerability.
So, please come to the next meet up to share:
Do you have any personal vision for this meet up group?
AND Who do you want to BE?
A friend of mine told me a story that:
Years ago, one time he went to a restaurant and he saw a girl there.
He approached the girl and asked: "What can I DO to make you go out with me?"
The girl answered: "BE someone else".
Sometimes, no matter what we do or have,
people who really want to be with us, they're with us because of our being
Who did you want to be?
Who do you want to be?
OR, in easier way, what do you wish about yourself?

SRK's father-in-law Colonel Ramesh Chandra Chibber, died on March 1, 2016 at 8.55 PM. He passed away from age-related problems in Escorts Hospital, New Delhi. Shah Rukh Khan put all his work-related tasks on hold and rushed to New Delhi to be with his wife in this trying time.
SRK had earlier said that Ramesh Chibber was an epitome of discipline and love. He said that when he and Gauri Khan were dating, they knew marriage would be a tough call, as SRK was a small-time TV actor and came from a totally different background, not to mention, belonged to a different religion. However, Gauri's father began to appreciate his SRK's patience and dedication for his daughter and gave his permission for marriage. Following the marriage, SRK and Gauri's father went on to become close friends; the actor always spoke highly of his father-in-law who shared similar sentiments about his famous son-in-law.

Santa Cruz, CA (PressExposure) February 21, 2009 -- As everyone already knows, the New Year set off with many companies claiming bankruptcy and even more dropping off of the map entirely. One company however isn't feeling the recession that many other companies have been feeling this year. TopSavings.Net, an online residential and business telecommunications reseller site has been reporting increased sales and revenues from it's web site's cell phone pages since the beginning of January 2009.
While many would assume the increase as a result of low priced and free wireless provider incentives, Aaron Siegel, director of marketing and CEO of TopSavings.Net has more insight on the blossoming situation. "We have been fortunate enough to communicate with many customers over the phone and email during their order processes and it is not only incentives and free phones that are fueling the increase in our sales. With the growing number of jobless rates nationwide and restricted family budgets, many households are replacing their entire phone services with cell phones to save money. This streamlining of household expenses is no doubt a defining factor for our growing success in this niche market," says Siegel.
TopSavings.Net in the past has primarily kept a main focus on it's B2B channels but always kept residential services open for their customers and visitors. "Sales in the residential sector never saw any significant growth other than our high speed Internet offerings. This boom in residential cell phone product sales has us definitely rethinking our online marketing strategies. We are seeing profits for a channel we had basically neglected and ignored. Only a fool would choose to ignore this sector that is bringing in such a high ROI. The customers have spoken and we plan to answer them with improved cell phone shopping experiences online," said Siegel.
When asked what specific marketing strategies and changes might be made, Siegel declined to comment. "All I can say is that the customers have spoken and we plan to answer their needs and meet them online with more options for shopping cell phone plans as well as other residential products. Our name is our core business model as well as our overall goal, save the customer money and be the top resource for saving that money online. We plan to reinforce that core value," Siegel replied.
