Quinoa Green Power Salad
Quinoa is a diverse ingredient which is incredibly nutritious. It is high in protein compared to most plant foods and contains all the essential amino acids that we need. In other words, quinoa would be a great post-workout meal! As it also contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium, zinc and potassium.
Check out my Quinoa Green Salad!
1 cup black quinoa or regular quinoa
2 cups water
1 3/4 cups cooked edamame
2 ripe avocados chopped in cubes
1 cup finely chopped kale
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 tsp pepper
1. First, bring 2 cups of water to boil. Rinse the quinoa. Once, water has boiled turn the heat to low and add quinoa to cook for about 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
2. While the quinoa is cooling, make the dressing. In a small bowl, lime juice, and sea salt and pepper.
3. In a large bowl, combine quinoa, edamame, cucumber, avocado and kale. Gently stir. Pour the dressing over the quinoa salad and stir to combine.
4. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

Believe it or not, but learning about Museums starts as a five year old in Kindy these days. Earlier last month I received a call from teachers Tanya Delaney and Michelle Hayes at Norfolk island Central School, to ask if I could talk to their Kindy classes about museums. I was most impressed with the depth they explored the subject, which began with making a 'me museum', where the kids collected and displayed three artefacts that were significant to them. They each had to explain to the class the significance of their artefacts. They'd also been looking at how things change over time - in particular school, kitchen, and laundry equipment, and school uniforms.
Tanya and Michelle asked me to discuss things like, what is a museum, what kinds of things you see at a museum and why people go to museums. We also covered what an artefact and exhibit is and why we display things. We have the most beautiful class of kids in Kindy and they were great fun to talk to. While I was a little unsure of how five years olds would understand museum concepts (do they even know how to read yet?) or if they'd find the topic boring (some adults might!), I found enquiring minds, kids who had already learnt how to listen and were fully engaged with the subject. We had a great hour talking and looking at a few objects from the Pitcairn Norfolk Gallery.
The class visited three museums here on
It is great that at five years old these kids have been taught all about looking at objects and to appreciate things that may be old. They have also found that Museums can be places that they love to visit and while enjoying themselves, are also learning. It may also mean that they really pester mum and dad to visit our museums here on

I realize it's possible that writing a post on Monday where I complain about how my Monday is going could be misunderstood as a reach or disingenuous. But, that couldn't be any further from the truth.
The plan was for me to start the day editing 'Not Without Sunshine' before transitioning into work on this week's Elliot chapter.
I have an article about getting to know your characters that I was planning on putting together for you folks today, but instead, I am worked up and underslept. For no substantive reason, I'm unsettled and having trouble focusing.
My Monday started last night. My husband and I were falling asleep watching a movie. Before retiring for the night, we let the dogs out one last time which led to the discovery that our washing machine with our son's Gee for Tai Kwon Do class the next day, was overflowing and backing into the sink. I was proud I didn't freak out, just like my husband didn't freak out when his computer's motherboard fried a little bit earlier in the day. No, we stayed calm, saved the Gee and talked about our options.
I made a joke right before my husband fell asleep about how it's possible we have Yo-Kai in the house. In case, you don't know Yo-Kai are spirits that cause mischief a lot like Gremlins. My son is obsessed. My husband fell asleep; my dogs started snoring, and there I was listening to the dryer hoping that the contents weren't too soapy. Thoughts about creatures in the house causing trouble starting cycling through my head. Then the thought of my daughter's doll walking down the hallway for some reason jumped into the forefront of my mind.
Yep, I was completely wide awake.
My night consisted of less than four hours of very light sleep. Sometimes sleep doesn't come easily to me. I've been in a pretty good cycle recently but have suffered from long insomnia bouts on and off most of my life.
Like every morning, my dogs wake me up (usually before 7) to go outside. This morning started no different. Both boy dogs had their faces right in mine. I rolled over instead of getting right up. My one dog made one of his signature complaining noises and went downstairs. I reluctantly dragged my butt downstairs to find him lifting his leg and peeing on all of my shoes. Yes, all of them. Which, I have to say I'm shocked this particular dog even did that.
He had to go, and I blew him off.
The dog, of course, felt terrible. Jake is such a good dog and is such a pleaser. He was so upset that when he went outside, he didn't want to come in. Jake clearly saw I was turning into a dragon.
I am not my best in the morning when I've had eight hours of sleep. Between the lack of sleep, my shoe dispair, and all my wacky hormones (because, yes, of course, it is also that time of the month) came together in a slendid show. There I was barely awake standing in my yard yelling at my dog to come in the house, waking up my family, and standing in boots filled with my dog's urine.
Needless to say, my day and week isn't getting off on the right foot so far and at the same time it is, because two really great news emails that I've been waiting for came in.
So, long story short, life happens, and it happens on its own without permission. I realize none of these are real problems, and we are well aware that we've needed a new laundry setup. Nothing has really happened, but because my overpriced shoe collection got covered in a gallon of pungent male dog pee and I'm worried I'm in for a weird sleep cycle phase I've decided to share all of this with you guys instead of my character post in a desperate attempt to regain focus. I guess you can expect the character post tomorrow.
One thing I have been trying to pay attention to is my gut when it comes to what I work on when. The whole reason behind having multiple projects is so I always have somewhere to focus my wordsmithing. There are times I make myself work on this one thing when my mind is on the other. I fight it because I like lists and control. I need to be the one driving and saying no. But doing that works against me. In the end, if I just listen to my mind's focus and not try to micro-manage my own creative ability so much I end up accomplishing more. Life doesn't always care that I wanted to wait until next month to buy the laundry machines.
I'm low on sleep, and my husband had to go buy me shoes, so I have shoes to wear. I appreciate that he's my partner. I know I'm not always an easy one.
Well, I suppose the rant is over. Hopefully, I can focus on editing and crossing things off lists, so I can happily hum along in my small, little world again.
Thank you for listening.

Image Collection Albert Kahn
Long obsessed with hand-tinted color photographs I saw a documentary on the amazing and indeed 'Wonderful World of Albert Kahn' some years ago on the BBC and bought the subsequent book an amazing early catalog of global cultures and adventures rendered in weird dream like tones. Turns out Kahn's early color process was something called the Autochrome an ethereal and other-worldly technique involving potato starch and soot.
Not content with already having invented cinema, the Autochrome was pioneered by the Lumiere Brothers who switched to stills photography after their adventures in cinema, patenting this first color process. It must have wowed a public already amazed by the new technology of the photograph when it was pioneered in 1907.
The technique went on to be adopted by those good folks at the National Geographic society and was the main color photographic process available to those early and adventurous snappers. Excerpts of the Nat Geo collection go on show tonight at the Steven Kasher Gallery in New York, check it out if you're about town.
New York Times photographer Stephen Crowley has a blog post over at Lens with a nice slideshow of images.

CHICAGO, April 4 (UPI) — A services employees union in Chicago said rank-and-file members have authorized a strike if a deal is not struck by Sunday, when their contract expires.
The Services Employees International Union Local 1, which represents 13,000 custodians, is holding talks, separately, with management firms that cover downtown Chicago and outlying suburbs, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Wednesday.
The newspaper said 4,000 union members clean and maintain commercial buildings downtown, while 3,000 work in suburban buildings. An additional 2,000 union members work in public city buildings, including schools, and 3,500 work in area shopping malls.
"The big issues are funding (health) insurance enough and wages," said Tom Balanoff, SEIU Local 1 president.
Balanoff said the Building Owners and Management Association has "made progress towards insurance, but we're not there yet. On wages, we're far apart."
The wage for janitors is $15.25 per hour, the union said.
Michael Cornicelli, executive vice president of BOMA, said he was "cautiously optimistic" a deal can be reached before the strike deadline.

The 2014 Formula 1 season is upon us, with the opening round this weekend in Australia. With it, we present the Enthusiast's Guide To The 2014 Formula 1 Season!
Formula1 has always been the absolute pinnacle of motorsport; it absorbs the best of drivers, the best of teams, and the most money. Huge budgets do not always equal great racing, and the last couple of years have been dominated by Red Bull. Leading into this season, indications are that the new regulations will throw a wrench in the works, and it just might be anybody's game.
See the brief history, this season's changes, car details, race schedule, drivers, and find out how to watch on Hooniverse.com.
Without Formula 1, there would be a much less interesting history to international motorsport. F1 is the original professional motorsport which exists only for the enjoyment of the fan. The cars are constructed and shipped all around the world simply for the fact that people enjoy it. Outside of soccer, more people in the world watch Formula One than any other sport that exists; there are hundreds of soccer matches in a year, and only 19 F1 Grands Prix.
Currently ran under the Federacion Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) banner of intercontinental racing championships, Formula 1 has existed as a championship since the 1950s. The rules change almost every year, and over the years several manufacturers have come to the forefront, be they road car manufacturers like Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes, Peugeot, Honda, and Toyota, or privateer constructors like McLaren, Williams, and Sauber.
In recent years Formula 1 has been ruled by a few very brilliant people. Bernie Ecclestone went from an average car salesman to a very wealthy man by selling something which did not expressly belong to him, the television rights to broadcast Formula 1. He is the current CEO of Formula One Management, making him the single most influential man in the sport. The current head of the FIA, Jean Todt, also has a say in how F1 is run, as the president of it's sanctioning body.
Current Season:
There are so many changes this year, it is difficult to know where to start. The FIA has completely torn up the rulebook
After almost a decade of the stalwart 2.4 liter naturally aspirated V8 engines, artificially limited to 18,000 RPM, they are being replaced by a new-design 1.6 liter V6 turbo which are now limited to 15,000 RPM. The new engines are in response to the FIA requiring a more efficient racing series, now limiting each car to 100Kg of fuel per race, where the old V8 would consume around 150Kg of fuel in a race. Where the 2013 engines produced around 750 horsepower, the 2014 spec turbo engine will only make about 600 horsepower. The new engines are not as piercing as the old high-rev V8s, but they do have a certain sound that isn't necessarily unpleasant, just different.
Hybrid Systems:
Some of the power lost in the engine regulation change has been won back with the increased power of the new spec Energy Recovery System. In addition to a system similar to last year's KERS, the new system also introduces "electric turbocharger technology" that captures waste exhaust pressure to help charge the batteries. Interestingly, the turbochargers can also be actuated electrically to reduce the boost threshold (commonly referred to as "turbo lag") coming out of slow corners and between gear changes.
The KERS system takes wasted kinetic energy produced during deceleration and stores it in a battery pack, which is then used to power rear-axle electric motors again under acceleration. In past years, KERS was allowed to be deployed for up to 6.7 seconds per lap, and could only produce 60kw worth of forward motion force. For 2014, the power output has been increased to 150kw, and it can be used for up to 30 seconds per lap. Recent years have seen the drivers "deploy" their KERS via a "push to pass" style button, but this year, the extra energy boost will be built into the engine mapping, backfilling the gaps in power at lower revs and aiding with acceleration automatically. This means less work for the drivers, and it will be much less gimmicky than it used to be.

Yesterday was the big girl's last day of holidays so we went to the beach - she says a holiday is just not a holiday unless you wiggle your toes in the sand at least once!
We drove to Sandgate, which is about half an hour from the bushy edge of Brisbane city where we live. We have lived in Brisbane for about two and a half years and are still exploring, this was another new stop for us. Sandgate park which is right alongside the water was lovely and because the weather in Queensland is more like spring than winter, a picnic of fish and chips on the grass was perfect.
After lunch the girls played in the sand flats 'cause the tide was out - the wee girl particularly enjoyed herself!
Today - with her back at school and the wee girl sleeping - I finished off what was to be the sample for a project this term at craft group - a kangaroo and her joey. I have been fiddling with a pattern my mum gave me from a June 1973 copy of the Australian Women's Weekly (it's a month older than me!) and while I love what I have created it is just too small and fiddly so now i will have to make another - but that is ok, I have an idea for this one :)

News release prepared by: Beth Bohn, 785-532-6415, firstname.lastname@example.com
Friday, March 26, 2010
MANHATTAN -- A video game has helped a Kansas State University student place highly in a prestigious Japanese language speech contest.
Xavier Gavin, freshman in arts and sciences-open option, Wichita, placed second in the category for students with less than a year of college Japanese instruction at the 24th annual Japanese Language Speech Contest, March 6, at the Consulate General of Japan, Chicago, Ill.
Gavin's speech was "Bring in Guitar Hero!" In his presentation, Gavin discussed the use of high technology in the classroom and shared his idea to introduce video games like "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band" to promote music education.
"I am very proud of Xavier's accomplishment and glad that his hard work was rewarded well," said Kumiko Nakamura, director of K-State's Japanese language program. "Xavier started his study of the Japanese language at K-State in August 2009 with no previous learning experience in the language."
Japanese is considered one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn and takes considerably longer to master, Nakamura said.
"Xavier's success and recognition as the second-place winner sent us all an encouraging message that starting to learn a foreign language at college is not too late," she said.
"It was my pleasure to represent Kansas State University in the Japanese speech contest," Gavin said. "In order for me to be invited to Chicago, both professor Nakamura and I had to put in much time and energy into the creation of this speech."
Gavin said one moment he will remember from the competition is what the chair of the judges said about why she thought it was important for students to learn foreign languages.
"She said how it opens doors to both career paths and relationships, and also understanding," he said. "She said it was unfortunate that universities everywhere were closing their language programs because of financial stress. I would like to express my most eternal thanks to the K-State College of Arts and Sciences and the department of modern languages for making education and experience a standard for their students."
It's the fourth year in a row that a K-State student has placed at the competition, including a first-place finish in 2009.

Physiological and genetic analysis of 3D microscale gas exchange and light penetration
This project aims to build a comprehensive heuristic thermodynamic biophysical-biochemical super-model which quantifies the various aspects of photosynthesis. It tries to create more clarity on the uncertainties in the Farquhar-von Caemmerer-Berry model, which includes the quantification of the impact of alternative electron transport pathways necessary to balance NADPH and ATP synthesis, the uncertainties about the proton to ATP ratio, the uncertainty about the fraction of electrons used for the Q-cycle and the uncertainty about the lower efficiency of the PhotoSystem II electron transport. From there we will develop a more complete model in which a thylakoid membrane module and a metabolic module are combined and integrated into a leaf module taking into account the spatial aspects of irradiance penetration and CO2 diffusion within a leaf.
With the renewed model we will be much better able to address research questions related to the efficiency of C3 photosynthesis of tomato under diverse conditions, the impact of stress on photosynthesis, the 2D and 3D aspects of gas exchange in anatomically and morphologically diverse structures,
and the 3D distribution of light energy within a leaf, a plant and a crop stand. The model will be instrumental in identifying the best (technical and genetic) strategies to increase the efficiency of photosynthesis and resource use (light, energy, water, nutrients) of tomato.

WATCH: Spectacular Record-Breaking Fireworks Over Zurrieq
Drone footage shows result of 260kg petard, the biggest Malta has ever seen
Malta has always been fireworks-obsessed, but Zurrieq yesterday showed everybody else how its done.
A record-breaking petard, known as the 'ballun tal-blalen', was exploded over the southern village last night.
Koala Media's Roberto Sarcia captured the impressive feat by drone.
The 260kg petard was 2.97 metres wide and was created by Manwel Gauci from the Santa Katarina V.M. fireworks club of Zurrieq.

Magical Beginnings
by Steven H. Silver (Editor), Martin Harry Greenberg (Editor)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is an anthology of early stories from well-established writers of speculative fiction, some of them nowadays big names such as Ursula Le Guin, Robin Hobb, Peter S. Beagle and Charles De Lint. Most of the stories are the first genre story the author got paid for to be published, but not necessarily the first that was ever published. I didn't exactly have overly high expectations before starting - I simply purchased it to complete my collection of the Ki and Vandien stories and thought it might be a nice curiosity and that it would probably be mostly interesting or helpful for people wanting to become authors themselves. As it turned out I enjoyed reading the book quite a lot, and certainly not any less than any other fantasy anthology that I've read.
It is perhaps noteworthy that of the 16 authors, 14 are female and a great number of the protagonist are girls and women as well. Each story is preceded by an author's note which, excluding a couple of them that were slightly off-topic or spoilery, were very useful in understanding the context in which each story was created. For whatever reason, the stories have been arranged in a chronological original publication order, starting from the late 40's and ending in the late 90's - and I think it's important to note that. It would feel wrong to be too critical of these stories or compare them to each other - not only because they are "early efforts" but because they are from such a wide period of time.
Having said that, here are my notes on the individual stories:
- People of the Crater by Andre Norton
I found the premise interesting but very much agreed with the author's note that if feels more like a rough outline than a real story. The plot basically follows a paint-by-the-numbers prophecy and the hero's machismo comes off as badly dated. Not perhaps the the strongest story to open the anthology.
- My Daughter's Name Is Sarah by Peter S. Beagle
This was short and sweet and well crafted, but I was left wondering why it was included in this collection as it didn't seem to me like a genre story.
- April in Paris by Ursula Le Guin
Having always appreciated Le Guin as a quite serious writer, I was surprised (positively!) about the humour in the story. The anthology really feels like it is kicking off here.
- The Fires of Her Vengeance by Susan Shwartz
Having previous knowledge of the Darkover universe would have probably eased me into this faster but this was my first glimpse of that world. I found the way this story treats the main character's rape quite disturbing - although I can see how other people could see it as empowering. I want to point out that the anthology was published in 2003 so this is hindsight, but the author's note gushing about MZB didn't help matters.
- The Fane of the Grey Rose by Charles de Lint
I loved the language in this story, it set it apart without feeling too Ye Olde Days. And there was a sweetness to the story that carries through the sadness.
- Bones for Dulath by Megan Lindholm
It's difficult for me to review this one without bias because I was already familiar with the world and the characters and happen to think Ki is one of the most delightful characters I've ever met. The only thing I can say is I wanted to immediately abandon the rest of the book and go reread the other Ki and Vandien stories!
- The Unicorn Masque by Ellen Kushner
I feel like I will re-read this story in the years to come, that there were layers and meaning I didn't necessarily find in just one reading. I also felt I wanted to discuss it with someone and compare thoughts.
- The Stuff of Heroes by Esther Friesner
This is, thankfully, a very short one. I usually quite like the trope it employs, but somehow was left cold this time - maybe it was just too tropey?
The Ulfjarl's Stone by Mickey Zucker Reichert
This was neatly crafted and I enjoyed the change of setting from the generic fantasy lands to my familiar cold and dark north. Very well written, it was easy to feel sympathise with the protagonist.
- Rending Dark by Emma Bull
This was exciting, fun, and I loved the characters. I would gladly read more stories set in this world.
- A Different Kind of Courage by Mercedes Lackey
A sweet although somewhat predictable story where the Lesson takes precedence over Plot - what happened to the package they were delivering? Compared to the other Darkover story in this book, I found it easier to understand the world-specific terminology.
- Third Time Lucky by Tanya Huff
Amusing although again a bit too predictable. I found the main character intriguing and would probably enjoy more stories about her.
- Sing by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
I liked this one very much and thought it was quite clever. The author's note definitely added to it.
- Birthright by Michelle West
Bittersweet but left me with mixed feelings. Maybe felt a bit rushed towards the end.
- The Jewel and the Demon by Liane Norman
Author's note almost ruined this one as it gives away too much of the plot. I liked the characters, but found the way the demon spoke really irritating.
- The Raven's Quest by Fiona Patton
Before I realised the stories were arranged by publication date, I simply thought they intentionally saved the best for the last. Genuinely moving, well paced and written, there's nothing I didn't love about this story!

|...in cool little pockets of the deep woods.
Nothing expresses the way we have been feeling around here, on these fabulously warm days of February, quite so well as Kenneth Grahame's, Spring House Cleaning, from his wonderful book, The Wind in the Willows.
"The Mole had been working very hard all morning, spring cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing. It was small wonder, then, that he suddenly flung down his brush on the floor, said, "Brother!" and "O blow!" and also "Hang spring cleaning!" and bolted out of the house without even waiting to put on his coat."
One thing's for sure, our heavy coats have been left hanging, all week, on their hooks beside the back door.

Happify is a positive psychology games and activities program. Learn more about the site and app, get information on when it is appropriate to use it, find out what young people thought of it, and read professional advice and young people's tips for using it.
Happify is a website with accompanying app that provides a range of 'brain-training' games and activities based on principles of positive psychology, with good links to the evidence base behind positive psychology practice. The aim of the program is to help users improve their ability to practice the five 'essential' skills of happiness – the ability to savor, thank, aspire, give and empathise.
A user joins the site and completes initial questionnaires to obtain baseline data on their current state of happiness and wellbeing. They then have the choice of over 20 'tracks' to complete on specific target areas for various life situations such as 'Be Kinder to Yourself' and 'Build More Self Confidence'. New activities are made available each day and users can track their progress over time.
Pricing: Happify is free for one activity per day. To access additional features and games users can pay a subscription fee. We recommend trialling the free version with a young person and letting them decide for themselves whether it is worth paying the subscription.
Happify is suitable for older adolescents 16+ who:
Certain tracks of Happify would be applicable for young people with mental health difficulties, stress or those with a negative mindset. The principles of Positive Psychology can benefit all young people in a preventative way.
For a young person with a severe mental illness such as major depression, this site may not be a good place to start treatment.
I would use this tool to keep my brain 'fit' and make sure I'm mentally healthy.
- Michael
Young adolescents 10-15 may not find the information presented in a way that appeals to them – the people pictured are all adults.
I would introduce the theory of Positive Psychology and possibly review the section of the website called 'The Science' with the young person, which gives clear connections to the activities and the scientifically proven benefits. Given a task is made available on a track each day, I would suggest they complete the track before returning for their next appointment.
I would also promote the site to young people as something they could complete independent of receiving counseling and identify specific tracks that are age appropriate.
This website/app would also be useful to recommend to parents, given the tracks include 'raise, happy resilient teens'.
Not very useful on its first use. Really great to use over an extended period of time.
Maybe talk about some of the activities in sessions, as many activities involve a lot of thought.
Appropriate for all ages!
This tool was reviewed by Chelsea and Michael, young people from the ReachOut.com community. Professional advice was provided by Angelique Foran (Clinical Psychologist) and Laura Allison (Psychologist).

With just a few months before her big day, Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz's wedding festivities are getting into full swing. But while she's ogling over her engagement ring, planning the big day, and enjoying that engagement-year bliss, one of her co-stars is wearing a engagement ring — without a fiancé! Kristen Doute isn't engaged, but she's been wearing a faux engagement ring.
"Kristen wears a fake engagement ring!" the ladies chorused in unison during an interview with E! News. "Show it! She's wearing it right now. She's practicing." The Pump Rules star bashfully held up her left hand, which has a gold band with (what we're assuming is) a cubic zirconia center stone.
Photo: E! News
"You know he's a keeper. I bought it for myself — I just wanted to test it out. It looks good. I just wanted to see — what if I don't like this cut?" Doute responded. She seems totally smitten with her new beau Brian Carter, saying, "everything's great. I have zero complaints." That must be the case, especially if she's sporting a sparkler sans proposal. She went on to share that she and her main squeeze are living together and have a puppy, so it's not thaaat far of a cry to be trying out the engaged look.
As far as the real bride-to-be, Katie Maloney seems pretty relaxed about the whole wedding affair. "I'm getting married this August," she revealed to E! News. "I have a dress. I got the dress before we picked a date. We have a location, we have a date — now we can get into the really fun part of planning of like, you know, colors and who's going to be my bridesmaids and all of that." Yes, you heard correctly. Three months until her big day and she hasn't informed her bridesmaids that they are, in fact, her bridesmaids.
"She hasn't told us that we're [her bridesmaids]," Scheana Shay shared. "We're waiting." But Maloney had a response to her friends' comments.

"I want to tell those that I've chosen before I tell anyone else. I'm not trying to tease and, and be secretive about stuff but it does feel like I want to keep things a little more private until they become more concrete," she said — all while hiding her face with her hands as to not give anything away.
The reality star went on to explain how Schwartz is as a groom in the planning process: on a budget. He wants to save us money, she shared. "He basically said, 'We don't need flowers. We don't need food. Let's just get really good music," she laughed. "That's not really how it works." Oh Schwartz.
No matter where she is in the planning process, it sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders about the whole thing and isn't too worried about much. We can't wait to see how beautiful she looks on the big day — and perhaps see a recap of the bachelor/bachelorette party shenanigans on Vanderpump Rules too. If it's anything like a regular episode, it's sure to be pretty ridiculous.

Balenciaga wrapping iv

I don't want this to go to your head or anything, but by the most recent evidence, you dress -- or have, within living memory -- a lot better than Pauline de Rothschild.ReplyDelete
(I have always felt that the Wolf did his duty by Little Red Riding Hood.)
Merry Christmas!
Oh, I love the dress....ReplyDelete
I am reading the Crimson Petal and the White, it goes with it!
His clothes remind me of my aunt. She used to have the most beautiful Balenciaga dresses and coats. Have a Merry Christmas!ReplyDelete
goodness. this is un-beatable. the most immaculate wrapping ever; could there be better?ReplyDelete
amazing series. pure delight (like your skirt; i do hope you find it. but the pictures are priceless, and thankgod you shared them. just brilliant. and completely beautiful.)
This reminds me, I MUST go and see the Balenciaga show in town before it closes. In fact, I think I shall go there tomorrow. Thank you! ReggieReplyDelete
She's wearing this as her great '45 vintage just begins to peek out from its folds, although tonight she is probably serving the '26, advancing wonderfully but retaining much to anticipate. Really the balance in the scale of the thing is what one has to admire. The most excellent creations, without being bashful about it, have to be taken as fundamentally normal; one can't do justice to them or truly relish them if they matter too much - or too little. Certainly a dress of this character can shelter excellence in that way, with proportionate context and custom. A glass today of her 1970 bears it out.ReplyDelete
Fab yet once againReplyDelete

Domestic rates in Ballymena, Larne and Carrick are to rise by 0.98% for 2016-17.
Mid & East Antrim District Council struck a new district domestic rate of 0.3999 pence in the pound at a special meeting in The Braid tonight (Thursday) and a district non-domestic rate of 27.9666 pence.
When the regional rate is included, this will represent an increase of 22 pence per week for the average household in the borough and an average increase of £2.84 per week for businesses.
Councillors unanimously agreed the new rate which was proposed by Alderman Tommy Nicholl who said Council had restricted the increase in the light of "the challenging economic climate faced by all ratepayers of the borough" and pointed out that it was below the rate of inflation.
"This low increase has been achieved by Council absorbing significant cost increases and, in response, we have commenced a Business Improvement and Efficiency Strategy to ensure that we minimise any impact on the ratepayer going forward," he said.
Seconding the proposal, Cllr Declan O'Loan said he was "content" to support the "small increase" stating: "The public should be aware that the Council faced financial pressures which, without savings elsewhere, would have pushed the rates up much more than is proposed. These include increased landfill tax, a 1% pay rise, and the loss of a large National Insurance rebate."
He went on, however, to make "a number of cautionary points" including potential further capital spend of £650K on The Gobbins.
In a statement issued after the meeting, the Mayor, Cllr Billy Ashe said: "I'm delighted that we have been able to keep the rate increase below one per cent.
"In the coming year, we are absorbing increasing costs outside our control, such as the introducing of the National Living Wage, changes in National Insurance and increases in waste disposal costs. This approach represents a sensible balance between keeping rates as low as possible, whilst still enabling us to grow the local economy in the borough as we have committed to do, to invest in our facilities and to provide high -quality services to the public," he stated.

As long as we are all throwing our 2 cents in, I'd suggest Matlab as a great place to start. It has the advantage of being a single environment in which you can design stimuli, collect and analyze data and perform model simulations. It also provides a very flexible graphical output mechanism. In addition, the number of labs using it is very large, providing a wide range of fellow-users to draw upon.
In terms of programming, I have written experiments in Max/MSP, Psyscope, Pascal and Matlab and find Matlab to be a wonderful compromise between high-level opaque programs and low-level, steep-learning-curve languages.

Delta Air Lines has banned for life an unruly passenger following a pro-Trump outburst aimed at Clinton supporters on his Pennsylvania-bound flight, the company's CEO announced on Monday (28 November). The unnamed man can be seen shouting praise for President-elect Donald Trump while insulting supporters of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
"We got some Hillary b*****s on here?" the man asks before clapping and yelling Trump's name. "Donald Trump baby!" he yells, as his fellow passengers attempt to ignore him. "Donald Trump is y'alls president. Every goddamn one of you. If you don't like it, too bad."
The 45-second video was posted on Facebook by passenger Emma Baum, who was initially sitting next to the man. The 21-year-old, who lives in Belize, told The Morning Call that she first noticed the man as she waited to board the flight. The man reportedly shouted Trump would "make America great again" several times in the airport terminal
The two were seated next to each other and he mentioned his support for the president-elect again. Baum said she eventually switched seats but asked the man about the election as she had been out of the country. The man reportedly stood up to talk to her and gave her the go-ahead to film him.
Baum said the man was removed from the flight by a flight attendant but was later allowed to return. "When he came back in, he said, 'This is what I get for being a patriot," Baum told the Morning Call. Once they landed, Baum said she reported the man's behaviour to airport security.
The company said on Saturday (26 November) it should have removed the man from the flight.
"We are sorry to our customers who experienced this disruption," Delta wrote on its website. "We have followed up with the teams involved and all agree that this customer should not have been allowed to continue on the flight.
"Our responsibility for ensuring all customers feel safe and comfortable with Delta includes requiring civil behaviour from everyone. The behaviour we see in this video does not square with our training or culture and follow up will continue so we can better ensure our employees will know they will be fully supported to make the right decisions when these issues arise."
CEO Edward Bastian released an internal memo saying the company would refund the tickets of the passengers aboard the 22 November flight from Atlanta to Allentown. According to The Guardian, Bastian confirmed that the crew questioned the man and made the best decision they could based on the information they had.
"However, if our colleagues had witnessed first-hand what was shown in the video, there is no question they would have removed him from the aircraft," he wrote. "He will never again be allowed on a Delta plane."

The Broncos practiced for the first time Wednesday since Sunday night's victory over the Saints.
That means it was the first opportunity to see if there were any aftereffects from the thumb injury he sustained when he banged his hand on Saints linebacker Martez Wilson's helmet while throwing a pass. Manning was able to practice fully, prompting coach John Fox to say "no" when asked if there were any lingering issues from the injury. Manning was a bit more expansive when he was asked the same question.
"It's OK, it's OK, it's sore, but it's more of irritant than anything," Manning said during a media session on Wednesday.
Manning's play didn't seem to be affected all that much by the thumb in the second half on Sunday night, so his full participation at practice is a pretty good indication that he will be in the lineup when the team takes the field in Cincinnati in Week Nine. If Manning plays as well as he did in Week Eight, the Broncos are a good bet to improve to 5-3 and possibly extend their AFC West lead over the Chargers, Raiders and Chiefs.

Good morning sweet (once like a spark) photography family! I write this this morning with tears in my eyes, because this is a VERY special post for one of the most dear couples we know. One of the greatest honors of owning a photography business is being able to not only work with amazing new couples that we meet along the way, but it also means we get the unique opportunity to work with and shoot those closest to our hearts. Today we're bringing you highlights from Sara + Anthony's wedding, shot absolutely beautifully by our own fabulous photographer, Krista. Sara is the lifelong very best friend of Cali, the co-founder and original OLAS photographer, and Cali was the matron of honor at this event. There are just no words that can adequately explain how special Sara and Anthony are to us, and their wedding day was a perfect expression of their incredibly sweet love. Sara and Anthony's wedding was held on Sara's parents property, which has been a central place of gathering and celebration for all of Sara's life, and absolutely no detail was left undone. From the mix-and-match plates that have been collected over the past year of their engagement, to the succulents that were all personally grown and cared for by Sara's mom to the dessert table, which was filled with treats made by family and friends – each and every detail was a celebration of Sara and Anthony and all of the things and people they hold dear, and the result was spectacular. In fact, Anthony actually proposed to Sara at this special place, (a secret surprise set up by Anthony and Sara's parents during a trip home!) and the lights from the proposal stayed on the barn. As you'll see in these photos, Sara + Anthony have such sweet spirits, and hold an incredibly special place in the hearts of those that love them, especially ours. Their love for each other and for life seeps through these images, as you'll see. We are so blessed to not only have been a part of your wedding day, but also your lives. We love you both more than we can explain! xoxo. ~ A+C

Perfect dual-meet seasons for CHS swim, wrestling
Both the Coronado High girls' swim team (10-0) and the wrestling team (5-0) finished their Metro League dual meet seasons undefeated.
A school historian has reported that this is the first time in the 38-year history of Coronado that the girls' swim team has won every dual meet, according to Dave Howard, school athletic director.
In the recent Metro League meet, the Cougar girls took fifth. They will send six swimmers (Alexis Rodarmel, Rosie Bradley, Katy Martinez,Taylor Kay, Morgan DeWitt and Katie Pina) to the state swim meet this weekend.
"All season we stressed the importance of contribution by all of our girls," said coach Karen Busovsky. "Many of our meets were won because of the second, third and fourth place points."
The wrestling team went 5-0 and took second in the Metro League after losing in the championship meet to Pine Creek last week.
According to wrestling coach Matt Brickell, this was the third season (second in a row) that his team has been perfect in dual meets since he became coach in 1991.
He cited four wrestlers, all sophomores, who were especially tough to beat during the season. These are Carter McElhany, Nick Burghardt, Nathan Burak and Ethan Olson.

All vendors can make their product look fantastic during a demonstration, especially when the evaluating audience does not have a solid understanding of the possible drawbacks and limitations of the vendor's specific software or hardware product. Before meeting with a vendor, you need to have a clear idea of what you are looking for, a clear understanding of the vendor's company and current customer ratings, how you want to deal with the vendor if you do purchase the product, and an understanding of the CBL industry, with its frequent mergers and name changes.
Staff development specialists, coordinators, and instructors are often asked to help evaluate vendor products related to clinical or other training or learning management systems. Before the initial contact or before the demonstration, be sure to review the vendor's website, search for information posted online by current and former clients about the vendor, and always take the glossy brochures and glitzy demonstrations vendors provide with a healthy grain of salt.
Ask every vendor the following questions when evaluating a CBL or other training product for your organization:

There's that high school reunion in 3 months or that beach trip in two weeks and you want to look fabulous in your swimsuit.
You start out losing some weight by starving yourself and depriving your body of the foods they need and really like to eat.
Then when you're somewhat satisfied and/or tired of not being able to eat your favorite foods, you go back to your old ways of eating and end up putting on more weight then you had before.
Months later, you're fed up with your body and try yet another diet to prepare for that next big event you want to look great for. The crash dieting begins again. It's a never ending cycle.
Sound familiar?
This is called the rebound effect and it's terrible for your body because it affects your metabolism for the long-term and you end up gaining weight even faster each time.
A New Way of Thinking
If you want to lose weight, let's drop the dieting. The word "diet"
sounds too temporary and is often associated with so many fad or crash
diet plans like
How �bout adopting a new phrase instead -- new eating habits. In other words, make permanent decisions to cut out certain foods and replace them with new ones.
Of course, you'll treat yourself from time to time with your favorite foods. You should never fully deprive yourself of everything. Besides, if you're eating healthy 80% of the time, the occasional ice cream cone won't kill you.
This is a permanent lifestyle change and eliminates the rebound effect where your weight goes up and down like a yo-yo.
Now you might ask...."But what if I want to lose the weight fast"?
If you lose the weight too fast that probably means you're starving yourself and/or not getting the necessary nutrition your body needs to be healthy. That's never good no matter how much weight you lose.
Plus, weight loss that happens too fast can severely screw up your metabolism and cause you to gain weight quicker than you did previously if you start eating the wrong foods again.
Trying to lose 30 pounds in 2 months?That's just not realistic, nor is it healthy. You have to give it time.
The key to a healthy, effective weight loss plan is one that consistently cuts out the saturated fats, involves exercise at least 3 days/week and increases the amount of protein and fiber you consume. And yes, it does take time.
You should also be eating more meals, more often because digestion actually helps boost your metabolism. (Be sure you're eating the RIGHT kinds of foods, though).
So ignore those fad diet plans that have you eating two meals a day or completely cutting out all carbs and fat.
Believe it or not, we do need some carbs and some fat in our bodies. The problem comes in when we have too much it. They aren't as bad for you if you consume them in moderation.
As I said before you can still eat the foods you love. Yes, I'm talking about ice cream, cookies, cakes etc. Again...moderation is the key.
If you completely deprive yourself of the foods you enjoy most, you'll get bored and run the risk of going back to your old eating habits.
Make Healthier Choices
Having new eating habits simply means making better food choices. It sounds much better than dieting, and it doesn't have to mean you're starving yourself.
Here are some ideas for changes you can make little by little. Remember, this is not a diet plan, it's a permanent lifestyle that you should stick to from now on while rewarding yourself with your favorite treat from time to time.
And here's the best part...you WILL lose weight! Accompany this new eating plan with exercise and you'll lose even more.
Now you might be wondering about counting calories.
Well if you make healthier food choices like the ones above you are going to naturally be cutting calories (and fat) because the alternate foods I suggested have fewer of them.
Also, when you're eating out at restaurants, eat half of the meal instead of trying to devour the whole thing. Save the rest for lunch or dinner the next day. Portion control is very important.
So when the pounds start to shed and someone asks you if you've been dieting? Tell them you're not on any diet plan, you've just developed better eating habits. :)
Keeping your weight under control is not about dieting or starting the latest crash diet craze whenever the pounds start to come back on. It's about changing your eating habits for life!
Your body and your metabolism will reward you in the long-run.

Bakerella calls them cake balls, but we decided that they are just too tasty and too fabulous to be called that. We're going with truffle cakes. Gracie helped me with as much of the project as she could, but in the end, her biggest contribution was eating. I won't lie, this was a time-consuming treat, but well worth it!
Finished pics of these, an anniversary cake and the breads I've been making tomorrow! And thanks to my sister Anna for taking these shots (although it felt like being at a real photo shoot with the flash going off so much!).

Why Unbound?
Sunday, 26 March 2017
So, I had an interesting conversation in the pub yesterday about why I'm crowdfunding this book with Unbound, instead of self-publishing, which is how my first book came out. I learnt many things publishing Caposcripti. I had already been working in digital publishing, producing ebooks and apps for the likes of Penguin and Tate Publishing - so the actual production was pretty easy. I found a good printer for the physical copies, James Wallis helped with the proofing, and Caposcripti sold out 4 print editions and lots of digital copies. I recorded an audio version, which has had 50K+ listens, from people around the world. So, I discovered I had an audience.
So far so good. But what happened when I tried to send review copies to the mainstream press? Or get the book into bookshops? Or enter it into writing competitions? The answer was the same: self-published books not eligible.
Distribution is hard!
Unbound has a fairly unique model: demonstrate that you have an audience, that people have an appetite for the book, and they'll nurture your work - provide an editor, expert cover designers, pr...and crucially access to mainstream shops and press once the book is published.
I'd rather write than spend all my energies on these problems. Fukushima Dreams is ready to go, and I'm working on the next book. A deal that gives me the freedom to focus on my work is amazing.
So that's what I decided to do. It wasn't an easy decision, because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and used to doing everything myself. In the end, crowdfunding is a decision to trust others - and that's never easy. It's like diving into a deep pool, knowing that you can't swim.
I'm jumping. Please catch me!

Hey everyone!
For my Swatch Gallery feature today, I'm swatching all my Colorbar lipsticks. I love Colorbar lipsticks especially the Velvet mattes. This post contains swatches of 7 Velvet Matte lipsticks, 3 lip pots and 5 others from different ranges.
Don't forget to tell me your picks in the comments section!


text: Been playing around trying to make some things incorporating some of the broom casting bits I did for my metals class. I know broom casting is a bit dated, but I do like the look of it. It reminds me of caves and stalagmites and stalactites. I'm going to stitch down the rusty washer with some waxed linen thread. Either a red or a blue.

The power of print is the tactile, the feeling of something physical that you can touch.
We are Tori, Owen and Luke from Bread Collective.
We are a multidisciplinary design studio that specialises in hand crafted typography with a focus on large scale public artworks and murals.
From a young age we were all encouraged to visit art galleries and were always drawing and painting.
We can't really imagine doing anything else.
Seeing Ed Rucha artworks, with the combination of painting and typography had all our favourite things right there in one place. It's inspiring to see the overlap of graphic design and art/painting in his work, rather than as two separate practices.
The ampersand design is based on a sketch from an old notebook. We created a logotype using a 2-colour modular 3D design a while back that was never used, and were interested in how it could be turned into other letterforms. It evolved into its own piece with various re-drawings, experimenting with dimensions and how it would work with limited colours. We liked the idea of using an ampersand as we thought it could represent Strut & Fibre, or the idea of people working or coming together.
The power of print is the tactile, the feeling of something physical that you can touch, a piece of craft that you can take away with you. We feel that print is important as it has so much more impact and resonance than a transient image flickering on a screen. The importance of making graphic designs physical is one of the reasons we started Bread Collective.
We often have a very varied work pattern, depending of the projects we have on.
This is definitely one of the best aspects of our type of work. When you have been working 10 metres high in a cherry picker for seven days straight, the thought of getting back to the studio to sit in front of a computer is quite appealing, and vice versa!
I know it's a cliche, but just find your passion and focus in on it. By having a few key passions and combining them together, you will find that you are doing something that's interesting, different and that only you could do.
We just completed a large typographic mural for a primary school in Stoke Newington, London.
We worked alongside the school children and local poets over a 2 year period. The reaction from the locals and the kids at the school was brilliant. Also the location was on one of our favourite streets in London, so it's great to have our work standing there, hopefully for a long time.
A well designed, quality business card will say everything you need, and will be more likely to be something people want to keep. We think it's better to be simple, confident and high quality, rather than gimmicky or over designed.
Go with the colour that you feel best represents your personal or professional brand.
If I have my dog with me I let him handle introductions. He is very good at it.

Neurolinguistic Programming
NLP must be the hardest thing to describe, in terms that most people will understand. WHAT IS IT?
Well, if you break it down into the three words it goes like this.
Neuro: This is the part of our nervous system, (our mind,) that processes everything we experience. It does this through our 5 senses, which are:-
1. Visual (to see)
2. Auditory (to hear)
3. Kinesthetic (to touch)
4. Olfactory (to smell)
5. Gustatory (to taste)
Linguistic: This is our communication system. It's the language which the mind (neural network) uses to give meaning to the things we see, hear, touch, etc.:-
1. Pictures How we see things
2. Sounds How things sound to us
3. Feelings How we feel inside,(sad, happy, frightened etc.) how we feel outside
(the feel of the grass underfoot, the warmth of the sun or how a snowflake feels when it falls onto you cheek)
4. Tastes How things taste to us)
5. Smells How things smell to us)
6. Words The Self Talk that we use to help us understand what's going on
Programming. This is the way we are able find and use these programmes. It's the way we communicate to ourselves and others through our mind, our neurological systems, in order to achieve our goals.
NLP is how we learn to use the language of the mind to consistently achieve our specific and desired outcomes.
If you have even a little curiosity and a willingness to examine the possibilities, by using the techniques that are taught as NLP, I can help you.
I can help you, to develop the techniques, and methodology to become the person you always wanted to be.
