A blog gets its name from a Web Log, Blog. They come in all different shapes and sizes. Some consist of small posts sharing images of what three year olds have wrecked, others consist of great complexity and offer commentary or opinion toward the latest polices to impact our climate. One thing is certain, you do not need a degree in English or a career in Journalism to maintain a blog, it's something we all can do with access to a computer and the World Wide Web.
There's a few studies out there that offer insight as to why people spend hours and hours blogging, but I like to think its because we all have a voice and want to speak. I'm writing this article because I believe all students should be encouraged to maintain a blog. I consider it a productive tool in extending learning beyond the classroom and challenging students to take ownership of their own learning. As students share original content they effectively dig deeper into the topics addressed in class and participate in an online community of practice. It's a home run when a student takes a critical perspective on a topic, offering a concise and reasoned argument. Also, and perhaps just as important, learning to write for the Web is an 'in-demand' skill for our digital world. Students must recognize that a blog is different than a research paper and doesn't always have to primarily feature paragraphs of written text. Blogs can include controversial opinions, emotions, and personality, they might also be on occasion bias, and so referencing credible sources is helpful when trying to put forward a reasoned argument. Students should make every attempt to avoid plagiarism in their articles, especially because copying and pasting is so easy, but they should also feel free to recite information they've obtained independently if they feel it strengthens their position and on occasion 'reblog' so long as it's clear that's what they're doing.
Perhaps one of the greatest appeals to student blogging is the concept of a self-journey that documents the learning that takes place throughout a semester, year, or even entire program. A student blog that is regularly maintained will mature and be shaped over time, communicating skills, interests, and career goals. A theme will likely emerge, and it will quickly become a demonstration of knowledge or interest in a particular area of concentration that can be enjoyed by future employers and shared within an online community of practice.
I believe a blog has the potential to be so much more than just a reflective journal. It's a personal experience that tests storytelling skills, while offering opinion or commentary in a student's own words. It's an opportunity to take ownership in the knowledge they master, and the change to establish a credible digital identify. Blogs should be unedited where possible, but also good writing should be encouraged, and inaccurate information discouraged. Feedback on style should be limited, and the focus should be on the voice within the words, rather than spelling and grammar.
The following two articles, 'Why I Blog' by Andrew Sullivan, and 'My 10 years of blogging', by Om Malik, offer great advice for newbies, including suggestions on word count and writing style. These two articles were suggested by Tom Scheinfeldt, a blogger at FoundHistory.org and colleague at the University of Connecticut. Thanks Tom! Below is some tips with selected advice from Om Malik and Andrew Sullivan.
Tips for Blogging in Class
- Remember it's a journey. A student must own their blog. Offer guidance, but avoid anything that can be misconstrued as control.
- Require students to read their peers work. Establish discussion groups or simply demand that students comment on at least three other blog posts by students in their class. Include this as part of class participation.
- Encourage students to support their articles with links to 'credible' sources of information. Ideally this would be an article that a student has stumbled across outside of class.
- Avoid a specific word count unless writing is a significant part of the course objective. Om Malik averaged 215 words over his 10 years of blogger, so I encourage you to avoid ramping it up too high. (This article above is approximately 500 words)
- Welcome a variety of media within a post. It doesn't have to be all text. The goal is to express opinion and share information, not to write the perfect novel.
Blog Platforms
- WordPress
- Tumblr
- Blogger
- Blackboard and Moodle (both have blogging as an activity)

Diplomatic missions and consular posts of Estonia are following when processing visa applications the regulation establishing a Community Code on Visas (Visa Code). Visa Code establishes the procedures and conditions for issuing visas for transit and stays in the territory of the Member States not exceeding three months in any six-month period.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — If you've never seen Mr. Incredible play the violin, you've probably never been to the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra's Spooktacular.
The BPO kicked off their kids series Sunday afternoon at Kleinhans Music Hall.
The annual event invites local kids to dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes, listen to a performance by the BPO and enjoy free activities.
Before the performance, kids can try out different instruments in the "instrument petting zoo," color and meet cartoon characters.
The BPO's kid series includes four holiday themed concerts throughout the year with shortened programs that focus on teaching children about music.
"It's really important for the kids to come see the orchestra and be introduced to classical music. A lot of music is based on classical styles so it's important to have the children learn about it at an early age," said Leah Wietig, soloist narrator.
With Waldo on the violin, a witch on the cello and Harry Potter conducting, kids experienced both familiar Disney music and classical music.
"I think the best thing to do is expose people to pretty much everything and then have them make a decision for themselves rather than choose for them what they should be interested in or what they should or should not like," said Jaman Dunn, Assistant Conductor.
The next kids series event is Jingle Bell Jam on Sunday December 11th . Kids activities start at 1:30 p.m. and BPO performance at 2:30 p.m..

:-/ Who here is running what I have pictured above? Ribbon burner on NG? (low pressure residential NG please)
cheap fibre blanket
jagboy69 replied to ironmutt's topic in Gas ForgesStill seems strange to see walmarts name attached to certain items. If only it was available down at the corner. lol I'm not seeing half the cost here. And it's rated to 2300 degrees. Looks fine to me. I got a roll of kaowool from these guys. http://www.armadilloclay.com/j-k.html Sign up at Zoro and they send out 20% coupons all the time. Sometimes they even email a 25% off!
Good looking setup ya got there. Where is the ribbon burner? Have you seen this page here?>>>>>>>.. http://waynecoeartistblacksmith.com/uploads/Ribbon_Forge_Burner.pdf I'm thinking about a replaceable firebrick for the floor. Mizzou doesnt tolerate flux for very long.
Qualified? Is anyone really qualified for any of the stuff we do? There is an inherent danger with just leaving the bed in the morning. I've only been pouring metal for 2 years, but I'm self taught. Anyone can do it with the right research, learning and education. If ya work metal and not tried pouring it, I think your missing out. Starting with aluminum is a no brainer, then it's on to bronze and brass with cast iron being sort of the holy grail for those of us casters. Screwing with molten steel while possible is something even we don't suggest for conducting at the home/garage level. Jason
You bring up lots of good points. One of the things I read about is the need to introduce the NG 9times the diameter of the pipe in inches from the burner due to NG not mixing as well as propane. (9x2"pipe= minimum 18" from the burner) ((the article mentions a longer introduction is even better)) What is your setup along these lines? Pictures would be great! The cut and welded corners can be easily changed if this causes problems and I can see some turbulence being created naturally because of the sharp bends, but I'm hoping I'm adding to point one here. My oil burner furnace for melting metal is also made from mizzou and gets wayyy hotter than natural gas burns at. So far I've suffered zero cracks in the material. It's still not too late at this point to relocate the burner to the side of the air tank. Here is a link to a guy on youtube with a ribbon burner mounted on the side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jK5z6malbQ0 I'm really hoping on the design of the ribbon burner to prevent overheating of the metal body of the burner. With my oil burner, the tuyere is on the side and the oil nozzle is only a short 4inches up the pipe from the intense heat of the furnace. The side entry might be better......... Anyone else running a top entry? I find it hard to believe I'm the only one with a setup like this that hasn't run a build thread here. Hopefully more will chime in. Thanks gang for the help so far and safety suggestions are appreciated, I don't need to end up in the newspaper. lmao Jason
I dug up an old little lowes vacuum cleaner, I'll give that a whirl and see if it's got enough pressure on blow with a 1/4" NG feed line. thanks! Jason
Well I'll be.. it really is a vertical forge. hmmm, now get a crucible and lets melt some metal! Looks good. How's your swirl?
Vertical? What you are building is a furnace. Visit www.alloyavenue.com Tons of "vertical" furnaces over there. Here's a few shots of mine. I start on diesel and after a few minutes, switch it over to 100% used MOTOR OIL. Forced air and a 25psi compressed air venturi hookup. Works like a champ and costs literally pennies per hour to run. Will easily melt cast iron. You can see from one of my photos the angle of the tuyere. Creates a nice swirl. If you are going to use a crucible for melting metals, You'll need a top and an exhaust hole. That's the only way to really crank up the heat. (yes that is a drain hole on the bottom after the PVC was melted out)
I've noticed Frosty that the squirrel cage fans lose the force when ya start restricting them. (easily seen with an amp clamp on the wire) What are you seeing frosty for gas line sizes? 1/4" be enough for starters are would you go straight to 1/2"?? Thanks, Jason
Another New Forge
jagboy69 posted a topic in Gas ForgesGreetings Folks! I'm still a little new around here, but after tons of reading, this seems like the place to be! And for that I say thank you! I've been doing a little casting work with a waste oil burner furnace I built a couple of years ago. However, I've grown tired of sticking long rods down into the furnace and getting burnt in the process when I need to bend metal.... So it's time to build a forge. I'm using a shortened portable air tank lined with Kaowool and coated with Mizzou and it MUST be fueled by natural gas. I'm in a residential area so of course the NG pressure will be low. I've got the ribbon burner built from Mizzou and have been working on a 2inch mixing pipe for the forced air and gas feed. At the moment, I'm introducing the natural gas about 20 inches from the burner to allow for a good mix. (I think) I already have the John Emmerling pdf and the Wayne Cohen pdf as well. (big help) I'm surprised I haven't found much here on what I'm doing. I've searched and searched but all I find are threads without endings and threads with missing photos. :-( I'm kinda looking for some ideas on the fuel nozzle. Is one even necessary? My main gas supply is 1/2" black pipe, but I was going to try just 1/4" for starters and see if that's enough when I force air at it. I haven't nailed down a blower yet as I have several laying around to choose from. Some are squirrel cage fan designs and others are fan blade based. SO I guess I've got some experimenting to do on that one. WC suggestions would be helpful here. Anyhow, here's where I'm at for now, been busy with other things, so I'm just plugging away on this thing. Jason This is not how to bend metal. Ribbon burner setup Success!

The Cold War that took place between the Soviet Union and the west (especially Britain and the US) during the 1950s and 60s inspired a number of moody and stylish spy movies - and A Dandy in Aspic is one of the most enjoyable. The movie tells the story of a Russian double agent named Eberlin who is working for the British intelligence services - or at least appears to be. But his double-life is threatened when the British ask that he assassinate a KGB agent - because that agent is himself!

Martin Solveig was born in 1976. At the age of 13, he got his first
turntables and that influenced him to take up a career in electronic
music rather than the classical music he was learning. He started his
first residency at Paris's leading club Le Palace with the support of
Claude Monnet.
Martin Solveig then moved to another famous Paris nightclub Les Bains Douches where he worked with famous DJs such as Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez and Bob Sinclar. His popularity further increased with the Pure parties at the Queen Club either as a DJ or as an art director.
He started producing at an early stage of his career. Through his own Mixture label, he released two 12-inch singles, "Heart of Africa" and "Come With Me". These singles combined dance music with musicians playing traditional instruments. Bob Sinclar then asked him to join the Africanism project combining African music and electronic music. He later released the "Edony" single which received airplay worldwide.
In 2002, he released the album Sur La Terre, which contains both "Heart of Africa" and "Edony". The album was released internationally through Universal Music. Another notable track on the album is "Linda" where he plays tribute to Fela Kuti and Serge Gainsbourg. The album was released in 2004 in the US. In 2003, he worked with Salif Keita on "Madan" which made the charts across Europe, notably France, Italy and Greece. "Rocking Music", which features a punk rock guitar riff (and also known for having Justin Timberlake style vocals), has also made the top 40 in Australia in February 2004. "Madan" and "Rocking Music" have both been featured in his second album, Suite. Following singles included "I'm A Good Man", and "Everybody".

text: 30 Sep 2005 Did you know there's a difference between an "agreement" and a "contract"? by Audine Bartlett Share and print this article Share Print This is a very basic "contract law basics", but it doesn't hurt to be reminded. This month's edition follows on from our previous Did You Know where we looked at the issue of your potential liability under "non-binding"documents, particularly in the context of a memorandum of understanding or letter of intent. The question as to whether or not the document is binding revolves around whether there is an intention to be legally bound. A "contract" is legally binding and an "agreement" is not. To create a contract there must be a common intention of the parties to enter into legal relations, mutually communicated either expressly or impliedly (Rose and Frank Co v JR Crompton & Bros Ltd [1923] 2 KB 261). In most instances there will be no doubt that a legal relationship was intended, or equally clear that it was not, but there are many cases where the matter remains in doubt. The intention to create legal relations can be implied from the circumstances. Relevant to assessing intention is the circumstances in which the agreement was reached. There are certain presumptions that arise depending on the circumstances surrounding the formation. The social or domestic context If you enter into an agreement in the context of a social or domestic situation, there is a presumption that you did not intend the agreement to have any legal consequences. On the other hand, if you enter into the agreement in a business/commercial setting than there is a presumption that the necessary legal intent was present. Ultimately, a court would ask: "would a reasonable person regard the agreement as binding?" To work out whether the presumption applies in the domestic or social context, the nature of the relationship of the parties who enter into the agreement is relevant. For example, the relationship of husband and wife, or a de facto relationship is a strong indicator of lack of intention. The presumption may also extend to agreements entered into between parent and child or between friends. However, the presumption can quite easily be rebutted if, for example, the words used indicate an intention to contract. In Merritt v Merritt [1970] 1 WLR 1211, a married couple separated, but before they divorced they mutually agreed that if the wife paid off the mortgage, the husband would then transfer his interest in the home to her. He signed a document to this effect but later refused to transfer his interest after she had paid out the mortgage. The court held the requisite legal intention was established, and the presumption rebutted. In Wakeling v Ripley (1951) 51 SR (NSW) 183, a wealthy old man invited his sister and her husband (both lived in the UK) to move to Australia to care for him on the basis that he would provide them with an income, and also his property upon his death. The couple agreed, the husband giving up a stable job in the UK in order to relocate. A dispute arose, and the couple sued for breach of contact. They succeeded on the basis that the agreement was 'more than a mere family or social agreement'. Some factors relevant to determining whether the presumption can be rebutted are: the seriousness of the conduct involved (eg. relocating interstate/overseas, transfer of a property interest); whether the subject matter of the agreement is business/commercial; whether there is a degree of hostility in the relationship; the degree of closeness of the family ties; and the expense involved. The business/commercial context If you enter into negotiations and reach agreement in such a setting, it is automatically presumed you intended to create a legally binding contract. The presumption is difficult to rebut. However, as we have discussed in previous Did You Know articles, examples of where the presumption may be rebutted are letters of comfort, "subject to the preparation of a formal contract" clauses, and letters of intent.

Cheerson CX-20 BuildHello, I have been getting extremely into drones over the past few years. I have become a pretty decent pilot and I feel that I am ready for an upgrade. I bought an Open-Source Cheerson CX-20 to "build" to understand more about how UAVs work (not just how to fly them). I've went ahead and done some normal upgrades like a gimbal, landing gear, and props but now I need some help. I would like to get a bigger battery to be able to support the added weight but I have no idea what to get? I am also looking to put telemetry into the drone and not quite sure what all I need. I would really appreciate any advice or input! Thank you, Robert

olesailor posted a topic in Accessories & Other Drone ModelsI have updated my Solo . 1. mRo GPS u-Blox Neo-M8N (Release 2) http://store.mrobotics.io/category-s/109.htm 2. Solo GPS Shield V2 First the GPS was made for the Solo it was an easy, remove the original and connect the version 2. There are others out there that would work, however it requires soldering new connectors. The GPS from mrobotics should have been in the production release of Solo. Also the GPS shield Ver 2 is icing on the cake. After I upgraded and powered up I had lock in a few seconds with 7-9 SATS. That was while I was indoors in my office. Cannot wait to see how this works outdoors. From product review on various forums we are talking about 19-20+ SATs. Note: When I ordered it said out of stock. However less then two days I had an email with confirmation and tacking number. "I always use PayPal, well protected".

Vastavam web: Salil Parekh is all set to take charge as Infosys CEO tomorrow as the over USD 10 billion company looks to bring back the focus on revenue growth and business strategy under the new leadership.Infosys, which spent most part of 2017 handling the public standoff between its high-profile promoters and the past leadership, will also announce its third quarter financials on January 12.Parekh, 53, is described as a soft-spoken yet determined man by those who know him. He was chosen from over two dozen candidates in a search that lasted about three months and covered a wide canvas of names within Infosys as well as alumni and external aspirants.
The former Capgemini executive's experience in building the IT firm's operations in India and its acquisition of iGate (in 2015) will also be an added advantage for him, they added.Parekh will work with non-executive Chairman and co- founder Nandan Nilekani, who was brought in to steady the ship after the resignation of Sikka and other board members, including the then Chairman R Seshasayee.Interestingly, Parekh's appointment has received a thumbs up from Murthy, who was vocal in his criticism of Sikka and the previous Infosys management.
Besides bringing stability, Parekh will also have to focus on hiring people who are strong in digital technologies and global sales as the IT industry, as also Infosys, is in midst of transformation.

Beirut Bath House: The Original Disco Dabke Recordings (1981-1984)
Joost Heijthuijsen
, April 1st, 2015 08:40
During the Lebanese civil war the Beirut downtown area, previously the home of much of the city's commercial and cultural activity became a no man's zone known as the Green Line. Many inhabitants fled to other countries. Many of the buildings along the Green Line were severely damaged or destroyed during the war. A lot of bars, buildings and bathhouses were completely empty. It became the poster child of urban decay.
The most cutting edge electronic music always seems to encompass a strong vision on the future, and is always sourced from areas of urban decline. When Manhattan was abandoned, disco tunes filled the deserted lofts. The same happened in Detroit and Berlin with techno. In retrospect, we can put Beirut in this line of metropolitan areas where some of the most daring sounds came from. There's only one difference: the Beirut bath house scene was really dangerous. This scene reflects the idea of absolute and pure hedonism in the Paris of the Middle East, the melting pot of many cultures, against the background of a civil war.
Beirut used to be the gay paradise of the Arab world, which declined rapidly during the civil war. According to oral history, a haunt of extremely good-looking young men, most of them gay body builders, tried to keep this self-gratifying spirit alive. They occupied some bath houses in the desolated city centre and started working their muscles. The towels were needless. First the imported disco records were used as the soundtrack for their work outs. But after the house and studio of pioneer disco DJ Ibrahim Hashi was bombed by Israeli troops, and no imports were available, some of the body builders started creating their own pumped up version of disco, incorporating influences of their local culture.
The result is sublime. Via cheap hardware they created a tape-only scene; it was simply too risky to bring this music out on vinyl. And the music still sounds revolutionary. This is a lost ark of music history. The names of the artists were never published, the tracks don't have any titles. But the sentiment is revolutionary. The smooth disco sounds and falsetto voices mix very well with the cheap dabke synth presets. This is the ultimate gay wedding music. And thanks to Honest Jon's, finally it's legally available.

"In the absence of a long-term staffing plan, the NPCA (Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority) implemented four costly organizational restructurings between 2012 and 2017, which contributed to significant employee turnover, employee morale issues and grievances. As well, administrative spending rose 49% between 2012 and 2017, while spending on watershed services dropped 18% over the same period." – one of the highlights from the Ontario Auditor General's Special Report on the NPCA
News from the Office of Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk
Posted September 27th, 2018 on Niagara At Large
Toronto, Ontario – The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) has taken steps to improve its operations and has several initiatives under way.
However, it still has significant operational issues to address in order to restore public trust and deliver its programs and services economically, efficiently and effectively, Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk said in a Special Report released today (this September 27th).
"Our audit also found that the governance structure established in the Conservation Authorities Act (Act) and weaknesses in the NPCA Board's oversight were two of the key contributors to the operational problems at the NPCA that have been the subject of public concerns and criticisms."
The Report noted that some NPCA Board members (a majority of whom are elected officials, such as mayors and councillors) involved themselves in the day-to-day operations of the NPCA. Their involvement was not always perceived as positive by employees of the NPCA and the public. Under the Act, board members of conservation authorities are authorized to "vote and generally act on behalf of their respective municipalities."
This can put board members in a difficult position when municipal interests conflict with the responsibilities of conservation authorities and their employees.
In light of mounting concerns and criticism of the NPCA, the Standing Committee on Public Accounts of the Legislative Assembly asked the Auditor General last year to conduct an audit of the NPCA.
The NPCA, established in 1959, oversees a watershed that covers the entire Niagara region, along with parts of the City of Hamilton and Haldimand County. Each of the Province's 36 conservation authorities is responsible to protect an individual watershed—an area of land that drains or "sheds" rain and melted snow into a common body of water—from flooding and erosion.
About 90% of Ontarians live in areas managed by a conservation authority.
Some specific operational issues identified in the audit included:
- In the absence of a long-term staffing plan, the NPCA implemented four costly organizational restructurings between 2012 and 2017, which contributed to significant employee turnover, employee morale issues and grievances. As well, administrative spending rose 49% between 2012 and 2017, while spending on watershed services dropped 18% over the same period.
- Impacted by staff reductions, the NPCA is taking significantly more time to review both municipal development proposals (from an average of 16 days in 2013 to 38 days in 2017) and work-permit applications (from an average of 29 days in 2013 to 37 days in 2017).
- The NPCA does not consistently track or respond to complaints about potential violations (e.g., when wetlands are destroyed or debris is dumped in waterways) within its jurisdiction. One-quarter of the complaints we reviewed about possible Act violations between 2013 and 2017 were still open. Timely enforcement action is important because the NPCA has only two years under the Act to take legal action if necessary.
- The NPCA proposed a pilot project to allow provincially significant wetlands in Thundering Waters to be destroyed and to recreate a wetland area three times as large elsewhere, to facilitate development in Thundering Waters. However, the NPCA had not studied the site's ecosystem to determine if it contained unique features that cannot be replicated.
- For more than half of the $3.8 million in purchases between 2013 and 2017 that we reviewed, the NPCA did not adhere to its own policies for the competitive acquisition of goods and services.

Grandi Campioni collection honors cycling's greatest champions
Grandi Campioni collection honors cycling's greatest champions
In 2018 we debuted our Grandi Campioni Collection, which honors World Champions Fausto Coppi, Eddy Merckx, and Stephen Roche with limited-edition cycling kits inspired by their world's victories. At the 2018 Rouleur Classic we presented the collection with new designs dedicated to two incredible riders; Jan Janssen, whose 1964 win in Sallanches was a testament to the twenty-four-year-old Dutchman's confidence and sharp mind, and Beryl Burton, arguably Britain's most-accomplished cyclist.
Beryl Burton - Britain's first Worlds double winner
Beryl Burton, Dame of the Order of the British Empire, in 1960 led the 1960 Leipzig world's pack for the first half of the race fighting against aggressive Soviet competition racing behind the intimidating Iron Curtain. She then broke away with Elsy Jacobs of Luxembourg. Jacobs couldn't hold the Briton's pace, so Burton spent the final 35 kilometers off the front alone. She crossed the finish line with a three-minute margin over a chasing pack of thirteen riders. The accomplishment is especially remarkable because Burton won the individual track pursuit World Championships earlier that week, delivering the most elusive prize in cycling; a same-year track/road Worlds double Championship. Although she chose to remain an amateur, Burton is one of the most decorated cyclists in history. She earned 72 national individual time trial titles at multiple distances and set records that stood for decades. She also won 24 national titles in road and track racing, five pursuit track World Championships, and road worlds a second time in 1967. The Beryl Burton Grandi Campioni kit features the colors of the British national flag, a printed label with her story, and an image of the Licorice Allsorts she was famous for handing out to aggrieved competitors. .
Jan Jannsen's '64 Worlds left nothing to chance
In 1964, when 24-year-old bespectacled Dutchman Jan Janssen crossed the finish line at the UCI World Road Championships in Sallanches, his win all the more remarkable for who he had just beaten, and how he did it considering how young he was. Janssen was already having a prolific season; he won Paris-Nice as well as two impressive stage wins and the green jersey at the Tour de France. With four laps remaining of the 290km Sallanches road world's course, a bunch containing Janssen bridged a gap to a dangerous early break-away group. In a frantic final lap, Raymond Poulidor made a decisive move. Janssen bridged, followed by Briton Tom Simpson and Italian Vittorio Adorni. Simpson fell off the pace over the last decisive climb, leaving a three-up sprint for the win. Adorni, the strongest sprinter of the group, was the man to watch. When it became clear to Janssen that Poulidor and Adorni were working together, he surged past Adorni with 400 meters to go and held both men off for the victory, showing the whole world just how the confidence of youth looks. The Jan Janssen Grandi Campioni kit features Dutch Orange, a printed label with this story, and a graphic of his iconic spectacles.

Lindsay Lohan, Hollywood's favorite bad girl, may have finally completed her court-ordered stint in rehab, but that doesn't mean she's taking it easy, resting on her laurels. This week, the teen star turned party girl launched LindsayLohan.com—a Web hub of everything LiLo, including an entire style section dedicated to the starlet's fashion picks!
Here's a sample post, featuring four of Lohan's best looks:
There are also tons of retro inspiration photos, fashion news that Lindsay's obsessed with, plenty of get-the-Lohan-look stories, and galleries of photos featuring Lindsay as style inspiration.
I was talking with a friend the other day about Lindsay Lohan and what I think it fascinating about her is that despite all her trouble, I'm still rooting for her—I think she's still super-likable. Maybe it's because she starred in one of my favorite girl movies of all time, Mean Girls, or maybe because she's so unapologetic about everything she does.

belt land near Cheswick Green.
Residents have reacted after the application for 57 houses and development of Shirley Golf Club, which was withdrawn two years ago, was re-submitted.
While the number of homes has been reduced, Councillor Ken Hawkins (Con, Blythe) said residents are still against any houses being built on the land.
"I am not against the golf club creating an academy and driving range. The club does some wonderful work with disabled youngsters and I will support this continuing, but the prospect of even more homes being built on greenbelt land in Blythe ward has to be resisted," he said.
The planning application, made through Banner Homes Midlands Ltd, also seeks permission for the development of a golf academy with facilities for disabled golf.

Thought it would be fun to answer today's Daily Prompt. So, here goes:
No Apologies
What's the one guilty pleasure you have that's so good, you no longer feel guilty about it?
My guilty pleasure is french fries (with tomato ketchup)!!! ❤
It's my favourite comfort food of all time! Whatever mood I'm in, french fries is a must-have. Cravings are worst for some days of the month, of course. Sometimes, I wonder how people can have a meal without french fries. Oh – imagine those golden slender slices of potato! It can be seasoned with salt, cheese or truffles, or dipped in ketchup or vanilla ice cream, I will never say no to it. I don't mind wedges, twister or shaker fries too!
Sadly, french fries are deep fried, probably full of trans fats and salt. It's fattening to the max! And, the amount of exercise to burn those of deep fried potato sticks off is just insane! One medium french fries from the golden arches has 380 calories. And I need 98 minutes of walking, 40 minutes of running or 54 minutes of cycling to burn that off. Sigh… "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" I said, I'll cut back on carbs but nope – not my fries, yo!
French fries are too good for me to follow any philosophy. The calorie count and exercise equivalent is not going to deter me. That wonderful "moment" is soooo worth it. Plus, french fries don't judge; it's people who do! So, on a bad day, I'd rather hang out with my french fries than humans. It makes me feel better and makes my tummy feels happier. Offer it to a stranger and make a new friend. Or use it as a mini sword to fend off any foe. Haha!
Oh look at this french fries haven. So, truly, this is my mantra:
After all, in a world of Happy Meals, how can one live without french fries? ❤

At the end of the school year – all you need is love
A number of years ago I did some work for El Gaucho restaurant and later for Amazonia Churrascaria. Each year, in late June, we created Spula Krijt adz, just in time for that fantastic Friday, at the end of the academic year, offering teachers a discounted lunch price, on that much-awaited day, when they could finally rinse the chalk off.
I noticed this year, the festivities started at the bars occupying Tourism Plaza from as early at 11am and revolved around drinking, and music.
Teachers must have had a monumental hang-over the following day, because according to my sources the late-night clubs on the RCA Road, Blue Moon, Cas Casuela, were packed to the gills until early in the morning.
No lunch.
From the sidelines it seems to me that there is a lot of push & pull in education, and that the level of frustration among educators is high.
My friends explain that many of our teachers, are in education for themselves, lured by the convenient schedule and the stable pay. They are not in it for the kids. They wait for GOA to renovate buildings, systems, and educational materials instead of being proactive and doing it themselves.
The Dutch newspapers reported just recently that in Aruba's newest school, teaching materials hail from the 60s, and that the most recent materials are at least 20 years old.
Where is the teacher's personal responsibility in that? Why stick to useless books? Why can't you create your own road map? As long as you arrive at the desired destination, you surely have the freedom to improvise. But it takes more prep work.
The level of frustration is made even higher because our MinEdu, a highly intelligent/educated man, comes from an autocratic system, having spent his formative years within the church.
He comes from an arbitrary background. God is not a team player. I can see the built-in problematica there. And he gets plenty of push-back from everyone.
The last example was the strike, of super-sized women, determined to protect their SECOND salary, the one they get from afternoon activities, AFTER teaching school all morning, and perhaps compromising both.
(Conserving their energy in the first part of the day, in order to deal with the afternoon, and grading papers in the pm, in order to keep up with the am.)
And today's kids are challenging, they are 21st century tech-savvy operators, yet the frontal 20th century teaching leaves them indifferent, and disruptive.
It is harder than ever to teach school, and you have to do it for the kids. Gotta love them, not just that convenient schedule and the stable pay.
Quotes from my friends:
"The most love-hungry student will ask YOU for YOUR love in the most unloving ways."
"Our kids are pure gold, Aruba's children are resilient, and pure, give them a little, and they give you A LOT."
Next in Line, with the Popcorn Soldiers
Cas di Cultura was a hub of activity Sunday evening when the Popcorn organization held its annual Next in Line, talent competition.
I did not know what I was getting myself into, but motivated by the desire to see what young people are interested in, I said yes, to a chair on the judge's jury!
The show presented EIGHTEEN pieces of 6 or 7 minutes each, in succession, including dance, lots of dance, in groups and solo, singing and comedy. Each act was required to have a message, Dream Big, Think Outside the Box, Dare to Achieve, Listen to Your Heart. The word dream came up a lot….
It was a spectacular evening of ARUBA HAS TALENT, and I am full of admiration to these youngsters who came up with complex concepts, music, choreography, costuming, make up, and video editing, all on their own, on a shoestring budget.
I kept pressing the imaginary Golden Buzzer awarding them all top scores, because for amateurs, they were highly professional.
Let me start from the end: POPCORN CLUB & DANCERS ARUBA, since 1989, is a not for profit foundation nurturing young artistic talent. It's an entire ecosystem of performances and events by an extended family of about 100 teenagers and a handful of adults.
Once you become a Popcorn Soldier you embrace the values of the organization, volunteer, train, rehearse, striving for a better future, with a single mindset to improve your skills and get ahead.
Under the Dream, Dare, Do, slogan everything is possible, and best of all, they are self-supporting.
At about 10pm, winners were announced.
Top honors went to a 9-member dance group, both male and female, by the name of Seshaji. They put a Mad Max meets Janet Jackson production on, by the name of Fury Road. That group is blessed by two very strong choreographs/dancers Joel Recappe, who also won the first place solo trophy, and Dijon Inesia, brimming with creative talent, he was also a soloist, opening the show with an interesting teenage angst overview.
And their homemade costumes held up under the pressure of turbo-charged dancing.
The other TEN in my book was a group by the name of Divergent, that works very well as a glitzy Latin Pop & Reggaeton ensemble, blessed by very talented individual stars, among them Steven Mendez, who is tremendous at everything from Salsa to African Tribal dance.
Two classically trained dancers Cristian Bedon and Valeria Guerrero presented a very ambitious program. They morphed from a romantic duet, into a Colombia style salsa, with death-defying spins and throws. I was praying for the performance to end well. These kids are risk takers, and very determined.
I liked the Missy Elliott inspired gangsters of a Different World, though they needed more light to be noticed, and soloist Gabriela Croes, is blessed with great pipes. The robotic Liquid Courage was great fun to watch. They are passionate about dance, and also form part of the Mafia, who presented a full Wild West, bang-bang, saga.
Best of all the kids. A group of very young performers, maybe ten-year-olds, with the irresistibly cute Emmanuel Simon, and his powerful partner Zianne Loepstok, presenting Full of Fiyah; Followed by the adorable Detonators, a bunch of 5-year olds, free-styling as if they were born on stage.
Latin chicas? Sure, the Dancing Divas filled that niche.
A very impactful performance by Joel Recappe, titled the Look of Freedom, proved that while the Popcorn Soldiers are preoccupied by typical teenage issues, they are also citizens of the world. Joel's choreography focused on refugees, Syria, Venezuela, is was woven with powerful video footage, to the music of Eminem's Walk on Water. Well thought-out, deep and poetic.
Freddy Tromp & Crew: Your place in heaven is guaranteed.
Fundashon Stimami Sterilisami is up and running
At a press gathering at the Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort, we were given the great news that another round of dog/cat sterilizations has been made possible thanks to the initiative of that resort.
Executives Suzanne van Grinsven and Rik van der Berg welcomed guests, Suzanne made the presentation, then together with Ewald Biemans they joined for an exchange of what's new / what's happening, over delicious lunch.
NEW: Stimami Sterilisami is now a foundation, legally accepting donations. As such it partnered with TPEF in order to raise the money needed. I have to remind you readers, that TPEF, is the Tourism Product Enhancement Fund, created 100% with timeshare members' contributions. So, our visitors help wipe our noses so to speak, by shouldering the expense that should otherwise be carried by local pet owners.
But, Stimami Sterilisami opted to rise above the should. It acknowledges that the spaying/neutering issue is problematic in our community and that the investment in a pet, is a foreign concept. While protesting that public indifference, it is prepared to help out.
Thus, ALL dogs and cats, owned AND stray, pedigree AND mutt, are all eligible for subsidized procedures.
The foundation subsidizes about 50% of operation costs, and owners are charged super reasonable fees:
Female Dog Awg 150
Male Dog Awg 85
Female Cat Awg 80
Male Cat Awg 35
Above pricing includes basic HCT blood test, microchip and placement of chip
Pet owners must register online, at www.stimamisterilisami.com, he/she will receive a confirmation e-mail with a registration number. Within 7 days of registration, pet owners must personally report at a vet clinic of their choice, pay their share of the operation – see how much above — and make an appointment for surgery, show the e-mail confirmation of registration, including registration number. Don't forget to actually bring your pet in, on the designated day — no food that morning, please.
Your vet will collect the balance of the subsidized amount from Stimami Sterilisami based on the e-mail confirmation, you handed in.
Much easier than before, no paper work, at all.

1989 to 2019, #30yearsofstyle
Facebook told me that local designer Ronchie de Cuba is hosting an open casting on Monday, calling all Knockout later Koma Agency models, past and present, to present at Cas Di Cultura and try out for the upcoming 30th anniversary show, unfolding at the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino, Morris Lapidus Ballroom, September 14th.
This will sell out fast, with just 500 seats, so get your tickets early, at Trash boutique.
The Facebook invitation looked interesting. I personally know many of these models from almost 20- years of fashion editorials in Island Temptations Magazine. But my exercise schedule got in the way, #Fitnessfirst, and I called Ronchi instead. We go back a very long time.
We met for coffee and Panini at the Aruba Experience Café.
What should we expect at the show?
Titled Back to Life, it will be a retrospect of 30 years in fashion, gleaning the best of more than 150 big past productions with about 100 models, two dizzying hours of runway and theatrical presentations, featuring three distinct collections Solo by Ronchi, So Very Me and a Tribal, Women Empowerment line, a total of 400 looks, including décor, hair, makeup, music, the works. "I grew up among powerful women, so expect that to reflect in the show," Ronchi adds. The show will also have a contemporary No Waste aspect with fashion made from left-overs and recycled fabric.
With your regular crew?
Yes, Julio, Andrew, Gareth, Bruce, Jairo, Nicole and Sharine, each in charge of one aspect of the show. We created some big production for the International Male & Female Model Searches, six seasons, the Aruba Male & Female Model Searches and the Aruba Fashion Week, in past years, with guests such as RuPaul & Mario Lopez, with E-Entertainment, HBO, and Showtime on island, in Guatemala and in Curacao. We have been practicing for that upcoming show for 30 years.
Looking back do you love all past shows?
We have some clippings and footage. It's a large body of work. Some I admire, and some I ask myself what was I thinking.
How big is Koma agency today
We keep it relatively small, 35 female models 25 male models, and we enjoy a list of regular local clients
Trash, did you ever regret calling your fashion store TRASH?
Yes. No. Those were my rebellious days, a bit nihilistic, and I wanted to state that fashion is fluff and what's INSIDE is important. I might still change the name one day.
Congratulation Ronchi, I am an appreciative fan and I admire the fact that for over 30 years you have been recruiting young people into your organization, for the purpose of polishing their personalities and refining their presentations. You show many success stories along the way, females and males who graduated your 'finishing school,' and went on to enjoy flourishing careers. All of Aruba fashion boutiques are owned by former models who got their fashion start at Koma.
30 years, what is the difference between today's, and yesterday's recruits?
When we started, our models wanted to compete and fought for the spotlight. They were fearless and determined to leave a mark. Today, with all the scrutiny of social media, our recruits shy away from the limelight, while they crave it, they fear it, and the criticism it brings.
While on the surface people are more willing to go on display, they are in fact hiding. Especially women, and we encourage them to show their feathers, and overcome the pull-down effect of their social circle. I try to get them away from labels and judgements, focus on the here & now, and pursue their passions. Basically, become shamelessly optimistic.
Italian Desserts, delicious summer treats
What do you know about that particular branch of deliciousness?
I know Italian confectioners go easy on sugar, so desserts are not too sweet, not too heavy, and that the world adopted that genre of after-dinner treats as his.
In Aruba, Tiramisu appears on every restaurant menu, but often with short-cuts, made with some ready-made whip instead of snowy egg-whites folded into mascarpone!
Recently my friend Gabriel Donadi told me about his mom, Ines Donadi, and her passion for baking and pastries. Then we both decided I should meet her. #dolcissimobyines
Next. I visited Ines in her doll-house kitchen at Palm Aruba Condo. There, over Illy coffee and a generous piece of her Torta di Nutella, Ines conducted a Show & Tell, a Tiramisu for Beginners class, in my honor.
She did the prep work in advance, laying all nicely measured ingredients out, and I watched her make two tray of Tiramisu, layering coffee-soaked lady finger biscuits, with the rich cream she just made – always in a glass bowl, please – mixing the cheese, with stiffly beaten egg-whites, and spiking the coffee with Amaretto, her secret ingredient – could be any liqueur, especially Limoncello.
The way she makes it, it looks easy.
I knew the origin of Tiramisu, as reported by Wikipedia: Historical records state that Tiramisu has an aphrodisiac effect and was served in brothels in Treviso.
What they mean is that between clients, the prostitutes working in Northern Italy, had a favorite pick-me-up, Tiramisu, so that sugar, coffee and liqueur would restore their energy between jobs.
I am not making it up.
Ines, a biology teacher, turned fashion-designer reports she has been living in Aruba for a number of years, and in order to please her family members and her friends, she often found herself in the kitchen making desserts, following recipes she inherited from her late mother.
She remembers herself in the kitchen, at ten years of age, watching her mom make magic.
#dolcissimobyines is today a small online business, you may order your favorite from a menu of about FIFTY different varieties. Ines is especially busy around the holidays and her top seller include #tortadinutella, #ZuppaInglese any fruit #Crostata, and #Tartufo which she makes with any leftover cake.
Cake for two, or fifty, it is cutely packaged and gorgeous to present.
Bikini Day in Aruba, With a Twist
Last week on July 5th, members of the media were invited at sunset to White Modern Cuisine, to take part in Bikini Day Celebrations on the anniversary of the invention of the bikini in 1946 by a Parisian fashion designer, Louis Reard – with a silent d.
International bikini day featured a fashion of itsy-bitsy things, showcasing the talents of local and international, Latin American designers.
Most notable Gigiola Gomez, who has been active within her own brand since 2010, participating around the globe in fashion weeks, promoting Aruba as a vacation destination. This time Gigiola showed off a bikini and caftan, Biento, inspired by the island's spectacular sunset. The bikini was royally worn by Arnalda Lampe with make up by Andy Mendez, simply spectacular.
Gigiola also introduced a young designer Daniella Carrion, promoting her own brand with a clever name Vitamin Sea.
The show at White Modern Cuisine included a twist, a literal fabric twist on many of the bikinis representing the fight against breast cancer. All designers twisted their bikini tops, artistically, to help promote October, Pink Month, as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Among designers included in the show:
From Argentina, Cipitria, with designer Maylen Irigoitia
From Brazil, Aqua de Sal, with designer Fabiola de Oliveira Machado.
From Chile, Sebastián Del Real Ossa
From Colombia, MolaMola, with designer Adriana Dangond
From Peru, Capittana, with designer María Daniela Núñez Dodero
Most designers used Aruba as a point of departure for their bikinis, inspired by the island's color-scheme, our palm trees, ocean, sun, flowers, flamingos, sunsets, beaches, the Faro Blanco and the Fofoti trees.
During the week, under the umbrella of 'One Fashion Island,' the designers conducted fashion photoshoot targeting the Argentinian, Brazilian, Chilean, Colombian, and Peruvian markets.
The Aruba Tourism Authority in collaboration with the ATA Latin America also invited a number of social media influencers, reporting live from the front with Argentine actress Emily Lucius, 411K followers; Brazilian model Priscila Uchoa, 50.9K followers; Chilean socialite Valeria Ortega, with 145K followers; Colombian actress María José Martínez, with 190K followers and finally actress Daniela Núñez (The Velvet Secret), with 116K followers.
Bati Bleki was there too.
