"How do I get there?"
"Go down Main Street until you come to Acme Business, the one with the red blinking signs, turn left…"
Wouldn't it be nice if you were Acme Business? Having people use your business to give directions? Can you imagine what that would do for your business?
Similarly, what if you were known as the business who put current community messages and alerts on your LED Signs, do you think that would keep people looking at your Business LED Signs?
Many LED Sign owners think the only way to use their sign is to put up their sales messages. I will admit that is a key use but it is not the only use. If you put in a mix of community related messages and time/temperature messages you will quite possibly be surprised at how this will lead to increase to revenues over time.
Let me explain why it works than I will give you some ideas of the types of messages you can display.
Obviously you want to put sales messages on your sign. The risk is that people will stop looking at your sign after it has been up for a while. You can counteract this by putting up messages that are relevant to current events in your community.
This will keep people looking at your Business LED Signs to see what is going on in the community. It will also build goodwill towards your business. People will see you as giving back to the community. They will see you as a caring business owner who is interested in the best interests of the community. All of this helps to build a loyalty between your business and the community.
When it comes time to buy something you offer do you think people are more likely to think of your business, who they already feel a connection with or with one of your random competitors?
Displaying time and temperature will train people to look at your sign to see what time it is and what the temperature is. In my car, I have a reading for the outside temperature; do you know what I do? I compare the two. I also appreciate seeing the time on signs because it helps keep me on schedule (or at least lets me know how far behind I am). While I am watch the signs for this information, do you know what I see? Sales messages. Lots of them. check it here!
Suggestions Of Where To Get Community Messages
You don't want hunting down community messages to take up your day so here are a few suggestion of how you can put it on autopilot:
- Contact the police about receiving Amber Alerts for your area
- Let the local schools know you will put important information on your sign for them (snowy days, etc.)
- Have the local theaters call you with upcoming shows
- Get the local sports results from the newspaper
- Have your church send you messages about their local mission work and donation drives
The list goes on and on, but if you do just those 5 things you will have more than enough community messages.
What Should The Mix of Messages Be?
Here is message rotation I recommend to my clients:
- Time/temperature
- 2-3 sales messages
- Community message
- 2-3 sales messages
As you can see, it does not take a lot but I think you will find it will really pay off! get complete news from http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/churchill-rail-port-omnitrax-dumas-1.4143982…

DriveThruRPG has a new contest with great prizes! Simply submit your favorite character to email@example.com and a panel of three celebrity judges will decide who wins.
The Rules:
- You must have a DriveThruRPG.com account. It's free, so make sure you're signed up. OneBookShelf, Inc. employees and publishers may not participate. All ages welcome.
- Your entry must consist of two parts - the character presented in your choice of game mechanics, and a brief biography of no more than 400 words. Naturally, you must include a name. As well, don't go crazy with the stats part; anything past the half-page mark is too much. Any system and any genre is perfectly acceptable (though it needs to be "Safe for Work," please).
- No images, please. The judging will be strictly on the crafting of the character and the bio.
- All submissions should be sent to email@example.com.
- Judges will select Finalists based on creativity, effective written descriptions, and how compelling the character is. Humor is fine if it fits, but dramatic narratives, "Action Figure Stat Card" style, and any other approach is also strong.
- There will be two levels of screening before Finalists are chosen. The first level will be handled by a team of Gaming Commandos under the expert leadership of Sean "Big Irish Gamer" Fannon. The top dozen entries will then be submitted to our Triad of Terror, who will then submit the Top Five Finalists. All Finalists will win something, but the results of fan voting will determine who gets the top prizes.
- The contest gets officially underway on May 19th, with the last day of submissions being two weeks later, June 2nd. Finalists will be posted for fan judging on June 9th, with the votes tallied and winners announced on June 16th.
- Fred Hicks, creator of The Dresden Files RPG and Spirit of the Century, and one of the brilliant minds of Evil Hat Productions. Careful here - if you don't entertain him, you will receive some very negative Aspects.
- Eddy Webb, writer and designer for Deep 7 and Z-Man Games, and the main man behind everything White Wolf is putting out these days, is a fine professional and a great gamer... and very likely your worst nightmare if you don't make him smile.
- John Wick, legendarily "indie" long before anyone was using the term, is the magnificent mind responsible for the creation of L5R, 7th Sea, Houses of the Blooded, and much more from John Wick Presents. Fail to amuse, and you may well appear as someone killed horribly in his next work; no, wait, that would be cool, so you wouldn't stand such a chance.
|ViewSonic gTablet
The Prize:
- The Grand Prize Winner will receive a ViewSonic gTablet with 10" Multi-Touch LCD Screen, Android OS 2.2, perfect for carrying and reading our products on. As well, their character will be custom illustrated by Bradley McDevitt, top-notch artist for Postmortem Studios!
- Our First Runner Up will receive a $100 Gift Certificate for DriveThruRPG.com products! Second Runner Up will receive a $50 Gift Certificate, while the remaining finalists will each receive $25 Gift Certificates.

GamerConnect, as many gamers in India knows by now, is an initiative undertaken by the leading gaming hardware company, Nvidia India, to bring gamers under one roof and discuss gaming and provide information about the latest games and gaming hardware. In this GamerConnect, the ambiance was changed quite a bit, as Aman Biswas from Nvidia India decided to do more than just provide information to gamers and give them food and posters.
The event took place at Infi Gaming, a soon to be open premium "Entertainment Hub" , as Aman puts it, at Salt Lake Sector III. This GamerConnect was arranged by ASUS India and Nvidia India. The event had in attendance, Aman Biswas, Gaming Specialist at Nvidia India, in Eastern India, Atul Moona, Consumer Business Manager, East India and Bangladesh at Nvidia India, Swarup Kumar Dhar, Channel Manager at ASUS India, and Koushik Roy from View Paker India. Debjit Majumdar and Tathagata Das came from RevCo, a registered brand reviewing technology, event hosting and management for community purposes. Sumon Pathak, from Techarx, a one stop solution for hardware enthusiasts in India, who mostly performs overclocking, reviews games and hardware, were also present. Atri Ganguly, a professional film editor and gaming enthusiast were also with us. Trilokesh Barua and I were there to represent AsidCast. Tamojit Das came from FerOus, who mods gaming PCs.
Infi Gaming in Salt Lake, is expected to launch in the next week. It will not only be a gaming cafe, like the ones already present in Kolkata, but will be a complete "Entertainment Hub" and a "Heaven for Gamers and Geeks" to quote Aman. Rishi Raj, the owner of Infi Gaming shared his plans for the place. The Cafe will have a room for competitive gaming featuring 10 View Paker Barebone PCs, 5 on each side. It will have another Premium Zone, with high end PCs, 4K display and HTC Vive Virtual Reality Headset, a Streaming Zone, from where gamers can stream their gameplay on Twitch, Youtube and other websites with the help of High speed Internet connection, and can also upload reviews and other videos. There will also be a Cafeteria where gamers can enjoy food and drink, although food can also be ordered while playing games. There would be another zone to watch live streams and gaming videos. Besides all these amenities, the Place will provide free High Speed WiFi, and besides PCs, there are also plans for consoles so that gamers can come in and enjoy the exclusives. Infi gaming will be the only one of its kind in Kolkata, and Rishi assures us it will be very much affordable.
In this event, we were introduced to the View Paker Barebone all-in-one PCs, the first and till now the only one of its kind, which is a range of powerful and affordable all-in-one PCs, for all purposes. Even being a barebone, the PCs give the users independence to build the machine according to their liking, thus, providing space for innovation. The gaming range PCs feature a professional HD gaming screen, and it's the first All-in -One to support dual graphic cards. ASUS India showcased their latest CERBERUS range of gaming gear, Headphones with mic, Keyboard and Mouse. This range of gaming gear is affordable, and at the same time provides professional gaming experience. Techarx brought in a PC featuring Thermaltake water cooling.
As the event proceeded, a lot of gamers turned up, and as mentioned earlier, Aman took a very casual approach, and being a gamer himself, discussed things with the gamers present there to learn about their wishes and their demands, because it is them who define the gaming industry. The discussion brought to front several ideas and many of the gamers present there were very excited and had a good experience. Aman promised to support any gamer if they wished to organize any innovative event regarding gaming and gaming hardware, which drew a very good response from the crowd. Besides talking to the gamers, Aman also shared his views and ideas on improving gaming in eastern India and encouraged gamers to increase the visbility of the region when it comes to gaming in India.
It is really good to realize that leading global companies like Nvidia, ASUS and View Paker are directly communicating and supporting our cause, sucht that together we can make Kolkata a leading hub of gaming in India.

BBC journalist freed in Gaza
A press conference has been held by him and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Alan Johnston said that he was moved twice during his captivity. His release was announced earlier by Hamas' TV station and the TV pictures show that Johnson was released by Hamas gunmen. Mr Johnson also said that he is tired but in good health and it is a fantastic thing to be free.
"The last 16 weeks, of course, were just the very worst you can imagine of my life, like being buried alive, really, removed from the world. Occasionally terrifying. You were in the hands of people who were dangerous and unpredictable," Alan Johnston said.
Johnston said that he was unable to see the sun during the months in captivity. He was also once chained-up for 24 hours but was not harmed physically until the very last moments, when his captors apparently showed their frustration with having to release him by beating him lightly.
One of the region's senior Muslim clerics, who helped negotiate, said that no ransom was paid to free Johnston.
"We are very happy that he now has his complete and absolute freedom. It was clear from the first day that the kidnap of the journalist Alan Johnston that would become an issue for all the Palestinian people and for all the free peoples of this world," said Ismail Haniyeh, Former PM of Palestinian Autonomy.
The 46-year-old has been a BBC correspondent since 1991. He has worked in Uzbekistan and Afghanistan and was the only full time Western correspondent in Gaza at the time of his capture.
Alan Johnston was kidnapped on his way home from his office in Gaza on March 12 this year. His car was found abandoned.
A militant group called the Army of Islam claimed it was holding Johnston. It demanded the release of Muslim prisoners in Britain and other states in exchange for Johnston. If demands were not met, they said they would kill the captive. Three videos were released showing Johnston or his belongings.
Hopes were raised as Hamas took control of Gaza in mid June and set a deadline for release. But on June 24 another video was released in which Johnston was shown wearing an explosive vest with the warning he would die if attempts were made to rescue him by force.
Intense international efforts were launched to secure the release of the journalist. Rallies and vigils were held worldwide, Johnston's BBC colleagues organised special celebrations to mark his 100th day in captivity and also his 45th birthday.
Now Johnston is looking forward to being reunited with his family who live in Scotland. And in telephone conversation with his father he said: "I'm a 100%".

With talks of trying for baby number 3 I thought I'd share the big sister hamper from Daisie I done up for Issy in the run up to Daisie's birth.
Of course when it comes to having another baby all sorts of worries go through your mind, will they feel pushed out? will they take badly to having a brother/sister? will they feel less loved? the list goes on.
So through out my pregnancy I stocked up on things to add to a little hamper to keep Issy super busy in the early days of us coming home or while I'm in hospital if for any reason I was to be kept in,
In the box 2 x big sister tops
big sister badge
pens & pencils
big sister card
drinking cup
big sister teddy
jumbo pen
plenty of colouring/activity books
chocolate lollies
mini books
book light
magnetic calendar
home made taggy blanket (I made Daisie one too)
treat/surprise bag
It's likely I've missed some bits as it was 3 years or so ago!
The tops made Issy feel really special and part of the team, everywhere we went she told everyone she was a big sister and to come and stroke her baby sister lol, she loved feeding Daisie at every chance she got (I even woke up to her doing a night feed with daddys help of course)
helping out with nappy changes and bath times.
Alot of the little colouring packs, magnetic calendar, pens & pencils etc cost as little as £1.5O or so alot of it I grabbed from ebay :)

Recently Alasdair Allan MSP for the Western Isles visited Comunn Eachdraidh Nis as part of a series of MSP visits to museums organised by Museums Galleries Scotland.
The museums national development body has invited all of Scotland's MSPs to champion their local museums by experiencing first-hand their achievements and challenges.
On the visit Dr Allan also presented Comunn Eachdraidh Nis with their certificate of accreditation from Museums Galleries Scotland.
Mr Allan, said: "Comunn Eachdraidh Nis is a wonderful asset for the North of Lewis and it is always a pleasure to visit.
"I hear nothing but praise for how helpful the staff are and for the work the organisation does in the community. They also do a fantastic job in promoting the Gaelic language, as shown by their success in winning Gaelic Business of the Year a few years ago.
"Our islands are steeped in tradition and culture and we should appreciate the work that places like Comunn Eachdraidh Nis carry out to preserve this for future generation."
Annie Macsween, Chair, said that Comunn Eachdraidh Nis is delighted that Dr Allan has visited the historical society at the request of Museums Galleries Scotland.
The community had been saddened by the closure of Cross School in 2011, but shortly afterwards, Comunn Eachdraidh Nis, which had been established in 1977, was able to secure ownership of the building and has developed it into a vibrant community historical and educational hub, catering for people of all ages and from all over the world.
Joanne Orr, CEO of Museums Galleries Scotland, said: "Museums play a vital role in the lives of individuals, families and communities across Scotland.
"Their learning and outreach work bridge inequalities in education and mental and physical health provision. They enhance the experience of visitors to Scotland and bring a positive economic impact. They connect people with their community."
"As difficult decisions are being made about budgets across the country it is vital that the true value of the sector is understood and that is why we have organised these visits."
MGS delivers strategic development support to a sector of over 450 museums and galleries. MGS will be visiting other museums and galleries with MSPs across Scotland over the coming months.

Opeth – The Roundhouse Tapes / 2007 Peaceville / 9 Tracks / http://www.opeth.com / http://www.peaceville.com / Â
Opeth have been making intense metal music since 1990, and they have been doing just that with singer Mikael since 1992. Since then, they have provided fans with 8 full length albums and a smattering of other material. "The Roundhouse Tapes†are recordings that were captured from a live performance at (you guessed it) the Roundhouse, a venue in London. This review is for the audio version of the release; plans are already underway to release a DVD version of these recordings sometime in 2008. "The Roundhouse Tapes†has a number of Opeth hits, whether it be "Ghost of Perditionâ€, "Demon of the Fallâ€, or "Face of Melindaâ€.Â
In comparison to the band's last live album, "Lamentationsâ€, "The Roundhouse Tapes†feels to be more of a representative work, where "Lamentations†was based much more heavily on "Damnation†than any other of the band's releases up to that point. Perhaps the most interesting part of "The Roundhouse Tapes†is the ability that individuals have to hear drastic re-envisionings of certain tracks. Where it is common practice to essentially recreate a band's hits by rote, Opeth put some thought into creating new and interesting versions of their classic tracks. Two of these tracks that are given a new lease on life have to be "The Night and the Silent Water†and "Under The Weeping Moonâ€.The dark of the band's compositions during "The Roundhouse Tapes†is balanced quite nicely by the in-between song discussion that takes places.
Where the compositions are intense, the talking done by Mikael is humorous and a little bit grin worthy at times. All in all, it feels as if these brief interludes act like coffee beans in a perfume shop; they cleanse the pallet and ensure that individuals are able to continue with listening to this 2 CD set. The fact that the band is not afraid to pull tracks from their earlier and lesser known releases (tracks from "Orchid†and "Morningrise†are present) solidifies this as a definitive live album that is a must buy for anyone that calls themselves a fan of Opeth. The band is currently in the studio recording their next album, so it still yet may be a while until the disc is released to the masses. Until then, "The Roundhouse Tapes†is a disc that can easily tide people over until this new album is released. Check it out.

4 Reasons Why Gas Prices Are About to Fall Rapidly
While U.S. gasoline prices have been on the rise for the past two months — and are presently $0.15/gallon higher than they were a year ago — I expect that gasoline prices will start to fall rapidly in the weeks ahead. There are four reasons for this.
- First is that the spike from Hurricane Isaac will be short-lived as damage to oil and gas infrastructure seems to be limited. Facilities will be back online relatively quickly.
- Second is that summer driving season is at an end, and demand for gasoline will now decline.
- Third, the transition to winter gasoline (explained in depth in Refining 101: Winter Gasoline and Why Summer Gasoline Means Higher Prices) begins on September 15th. This will both lower the cost and increase the supplies of gasoline.
- Finally, the recent run-up in oil prices appears to be already priced into the cost of gasoline.

Dianne Dernie
Diane Dernie is a tireless campaigner for disabled veterans' rights and a full-time carer to her son, Lance Bombardier Ben Parkinson. They live in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Diane's life changed in an instant on 12th September 2006, when her son Ben was severely injured by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Ben is almost certainly the most seriously injured serviceman to have survived his injuries, although he has severe brain damage and a catalogue of long term injuries, including a broken back and the loss of both his legs.
Ben will need round the clock care for the rest of his life, but was awarded just £152,150 in compensation by the Ministry of Defence, in accordance with the rates set by the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. This scheme, which was introduced with the aim of fast-tracking compensation to injured service personnel, awards the maximum payment of £285,000 only to those who have lost all their limbs. Ben was offered compensation only for his three most serious injuries (to his legs, brain and arm), meaning that the other 34 wounds he suffered would not count. Diane set up a fighting fund and carried out a successful legal challenge against the MoD on behalf of Ben.

I'm pleased to be able to offer my services as Patron to The Forgotten Heroes, to help soldiers such as me get the support they both need and deserve."

The Proclaimers
Scottish melodic folk-rock duo The Proclaimers' first came to public attention in 1987, and have, at the time of writing, currently just completed the recording of their 9th studio album, which will be released in Spring 2012. Next year also sees the movie version of the hugely successful, award winning musical drama, Sunshine on Leith featuring their songs set to be filmed by Glasgow based production company Black Camel.
They have enjoyed Gold and Platinum singles and albums in UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The last few years has seen The Proclaimers grace main stages at the likes of V Festival, T in the Park, Isle Of Wight Festival, Womad and Glastonbury, in between regular touring across the globe. In a career spanning into its 4th decade, the brothers are best known for such classic songs as "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", which was featured in the films Benny & Joon, How I Met Your Mother and Burke and Hare; "King of the Road", "Letter from America" and I'm On My Way, which was featured in the animated film Shrek. Craig and Charlie have stated: "We are honoured to lend our support to this unique charity. The carers for our wounded service people are worthy of everyone's support. The nation owes them all the practical help and support that they need."

Resilience refers to the ability of a socio-ecological system to withstand, respond to, and adapt to stresses and shocks. While most of us have an intuitive understanding of resilience, the term also has technical meanings. Resilience often is conceptualized and approached differently by the development, disaster relief, and ecological communities. There is a growing body of scientific literature and community of practice focused on resilience, yet there are surprisingly few quantitative, integrative, multi-scale and data-driven analyses to inform resilience thinking and, particularly, the design of interventions and investments to promote resilience.
In this context, we developed RESILIENCE ATLAS as an interactive analytical tool for building (1) understanding of the extent and severity of some of the key stressors and shocks that are affecting rural livelihoods, production systems, and ecosystems in the Sahel, Horn of Africa and South and Southeast Asia; and (2) insights into the ways that different types of wealth and assets (i.e., natural capital, human capital, social capital, financial capital and manufactured capital) – and combinations among these – impact resilience in particular contexts.
The RESILIENCE ATLAS database was created by integrating and analyzing more than 12 terabytes of data from over 60 of the best available datasets related to resilience, and summarizing the output in the form of easy to understand maps that can shift focus from regional to national and, where the availability and resolution of the data permit, to local scales. We hope the RESILIENCE ATLAS analytical tool and database provides new insights to help catalyze a revisioning of resilience and support for the growing community of practice around resilience.

The difference a few weeks can make in football! viewtopic.php?f=107&t=12636
Of course we still have lot to do, there will be plenty of twists and turns, as there always are, but at least we have given ourselves a fighting chance of avoiding relegation.
Two really tough games coming up against the two best sides in the league, who also happen to be the top two sides on current form, I'm not expecting us to get much from these two games and will be pleased if we can somehow get a point or two. Every chance we will find ourselves in a relegation spot at this time next week but the most important thing is we need to stick together, back the Manager and players and hopefully we'll muster enough points to stay up.

Streaming ZIP files in PHP
I ran into an interesting bug in OSX the other day. Well, I regard it as a bug, anyway - Apple may feel differently, as it's been there for a while.
I was using a PHP library called ZipStream. It basically lets you create a zip archive on the fly and stream it to the client as each files is compressed, as oppsed to generating the entire on the server and then sending it to the client. This is nice because the user doesn't have to have a (potentially) long delay before the download starts - you can start sending data right away.
Anyway, the library was working wonderfully...until I tested the archive on my MacBook. Turns out that OSX doesn't like the archives that ZipStream generates. Or, rather, the OSX Archive Utility doesn't like them. When you double-click the archive in Finder, rather than properly decompressing it, OSX extracts it into a .cpgz file. And if you double-click that file, it extracts into another archive, and so on ad infinitum.
By way of contrast, everything else seems to be able to extract the archive normally. The Windows zip archive handles manages it fine, as does WinRAR and 7-zip; on OSX, Safari's built-in zip handling transparently decompresses it without problems; even the OSX command-line "unzip" program handles it without problems. It's just the Archive Utility - which is, unfortunately, the default handler in Finder.
Luckily, the solution is pretty simple. It turns out that the OSX archive tool doesn't like the "version needed to extract" set by ZipStream. The value set for ZipStream's archives is 0x0603. If you change that to 0x000A, then the OSX Archive Utility will open the file normally, just like every other program. Of course, you have to modify ZipStream itself to get this to work, but that's not really a big deal - it's just a one-line change.
I'm not entirely sure why the OSX archiver doesn't like that version number. Perhaps that flag implies some other features that the Archive Utility doesn't support. Or maybe it requires additional metadata which wasn't set in the archive, and so it was technically out of spec. But to me, it really doesn't matter - either way, it's a bug in the OSX archiver. If the zip file was out of spec, they should just detect that and handle it, because everybody else does. And if the program doesn't support other features implied by that version number, then they should have either implemented those features (I mean, it's not like the ZIP format is new or anything) or they should have done the check based on the archive content rather than version number - if the file doesn't use any of the unsupported features, then there's no reason that the archiver shouldn't handle it correctly.

Hi Peter, can you help me? I think this is the line:
array('v', (6 << 8) + 3), # version needed to extract
What I need to change?
Thank and sorry about my newbie question.
That's it
That's the spot. You just need to change the value of that flag to 0x000A, so:
array('v', 0x000A)
That should do the trick.
Great fix
Thanks for this one Peter!

The next tip to keep those energy levels up: get some sunshine. A deficiency in vitamin D can make you feel both tired and depressed. SAD (seasonal affectation disorder) is common especially in winter and can stem from both lack of vitamin D and gloomy days. Some foods contain vitamin D, like oily fish, eggs and meat. However it's hard to get sufficient amounts from food alone. Your body can make vitamin D but only if it is exposed to 15 minutes of sunshine. So outdoors is the place to be; if it's cloudy like it so often is in winter in the UK try for 2 lots of 15 minutes a day. A walk is great but why not combine your vitamin D dosage with some endorphin producing exercise in the form of a run?
Not only does being outdoors burn more calories than exercising inside but you will get some vitamin D too. Fortunate then that at Diets Don't Work we do home visits for personal training and make it outdoorsy as often as possible, come rain or shine!
Next in our series on how to boost energy levels: listen to music. If you find that your energy levels are flagging then get the radio on or listen to your iPod for a bit. This works especially well in training. Even though our personal trainers mainly do home visits in the London and Windsor areas, we often take a small music system along or use a client's to get the tunes going. This also has the advantage of not having to listen to the gym's awful raving music selection. Research has established that music heightens motivation and stimulates interest because it syncronises both the left and the right sides of the brain, which in turn helps you to feel more alert. So get hopping just like John Travolta!
Sometimes we come across personal training clients who have the unusual problem of eating the right things, just in the wrong quantities. Of course increasing the metabolic rate through proper structured exercise is a great weapon in the battle of the bulge, but eating is just as important. Your weight is after all a two sided equation. Getting a visual idea of how much should be on your plate can be really helpful, so try these tricks.
Each meal should contain 5 different food groups: a low glycaemic carbohydrate, some vegetables, some lean protein, a good unstaurated fat, and fibre.
To get the portion size right try matching your portions to the same size as the following:
1 – the biggest item on your plate should be a good quality lean protein like grilled chicken or fish. This should be about the same size as an i-phone.
2 – although your carbohydrate should not be processed, we do live in the real world, so rice (brown is better), potatoes (sweet are better) and wholewheat pasta are certainly OK and also have the advantage of being easy to make.Try to make this group the same size as a cricket or tennis ball.
3 – The vegetables should be the same size as a small bar of soap. The greener and leafier these are the better; these leafy vegetables are packed full of minerals and nutrients but are low in calorie density.
4 -The amount of fat should be about the same size as a matchbox. Remember that this fat will most likely not be a stand alone food group but will be contained in the other foods on the plate. A great source of good fat is plant oils that are liquid at room temperatures, so you can always use these as a dressing.
5 -The meal should also contain some fibre. This would be the equivalent of a chalk cube that you would use on a pool table. Again this will be included in the vegetable portion of the meal, and will take care of itself provided that you have chosen good leafy greens.
Remember also that having water or a squash that is not filled with sugar can really help make you feel fuller too. Eating slowly also helps. Good luck!
Childhood obesity has become a big worry not just in the United States but also here in the U.K. Many campaigns have been launched to try and tackle the problem; the Let's move! campaign as endorsed by Michelle Obama and the change4life that we have here in the U.K. Both of these schemes focus on the premise that obesity (or, on the other side of the equation, being slim and fit) is solely caused by too many calories going in and not enough going out. As we are constantly telling our personal training clients you can't deny the laws of physics; if energy out is more than energy in there will be a defecit, so there will be loss of fat.
Unfortunately the problem in our modern society is slightly more complex when it comes to children. The energy in energy out approach is convenient as it does not demonize any of the food industry, but it fails to understand the role of insulin in the regulation of fat accumulation. As insulin levels go up in the blood stream so does the amount of fat that we store. Insulin is triggered by foods high in sugar (or with a high G.I.) just like the processed carbohydrates that are in many popular children's snacks. Thus the more refined and easily digestible the carbohydrates – think fizzy drinks, bagged snacks, ready meals etc – the more insulin is produced. So to tackle child obesity we have to demonize the industries that produce these foods. Big food companies will not like it, but just as drink driving and smoking have become (read "been made") socially unacceptable it must be achievable to do the same to the high G.I. industry too.

I awoke to freshly made croissants by my middle child, she's the baker. The kids stayed home for the most part and I basically lazed about and did some work on my minis.
For dinner, hubby made his famous cheese steaks. (I even had him make me an extra one,which I had for lunch today, yummy!) Then, ice cream for dessert.
I got mom a big box of Whitman's chocolates, her favorites. I got chocolate from my oldest daughter, enough to last me til Christmas, well, maybe... and a pot of impatients from my son, which when I said, "Impatients?" he thought I was referring to him. Cute. ;)
And, guess what else I got?!
Something I've been wanting for a long time!
My very own
pink tool box!
pink tool box!
Or hang a picture or something.
How cool is that?
They will stay nicely in their box. :)
Well, since today was spent on chores, tomorrow will be spent on mini making. :)
And, hopefully, I can get something new listed in my etsy shop and possibly finish my custom order. Details about that, forth coming!
until next time,
dale ;)

MUCH more sparkly than on pics!
The online pic doesn't do it any justice - it is stunningly shimmery sparkly in real life. I wouldn't have bought it if the MHJ Erina Fair shop assistant didn't show me in person. Easy to look over online, a stunner in real life!

To subtract one number from another, like 825,346 - 315,273, model the minuend (the first number) on a place value chart. In each place value column, remove disks from the minuend equal in number to the subtrahend. When the second number's digit is greater than the first number's digit, regroup from a greater place value. Finally, count the number of disks remaining in each column. There are 5 hundred thousands, 1 ten thousands, 7 tens, and 3 ones, so 825,346 - 315,273 = 510,073.

For instance, an emergency stove will help get through this uncomfortable period. Emergency cooking supplies are a must have in your survival cooking kit, as you never know when they will be need.

Visiting Hoi An, Vietnam in 2018
Nestled on the banks of the Thu Bon River, 30km south of Danang, is the ancient town of Hoi An. A small town with a rich history, and one that people flock to in droves. Despite having a population of just 120,000, the town caters to upwards of three million tourists per year, and there are no signs of its popularity slowing down. From ancient buildings to enticing beaches to the surrounding highlands, Hoi An has a lot to offer. We spent a couple of weeks wandering the red hot streets and thought we should share our two cents on the town in 2018.
The Lantern Lady, Hoi An
Hoi An is a small, ancient town on the Vietnamese central coast. A popular tourist hot-spot, the UNESCO world heritage site is known for winding canals, mouth-watering signature food and local handicrafts. Perhaps most famous of all is their love of lanterns.
Sustainability Spotlight: Zero Waste Saigon
Zero Waste Saigon is a fast expanding social network and planet-friendly movement dedicated to raising awareness and reducing waste in Vietnam. The group provides education, community support and sustainable alternatives to single use plastic and are making waves in the war on waste.
Losing Track of Time in the 4000 Islands
Don Det is the perfect place to disconnect and rejuvenate – there are no ATM's, the Wi-Fi is limited and there are more hammocks than tourists. It's relatively remote and difficult to access, but the journey makes this blissful slice of heaven all the more rewarding for the effort.
Laos' breathtaking best natural wonders
We didn't know too much about Laos before visiting, but soon after crossing the Thai border we were enamored with the friendly people, laid-back way of life and stunning natural landscapes. This sparsely populated country is a great place to explore the outdoors – we've written about a few of our favourite locations.
COPE – supporting the victims of unexploded bombs in Laos
Before visiting Laos, we were unaware that the country was subjected to one of the most relentless aerial bombing campaigns in the history of mankind – the U.S. dropped some two million tonnes of ordnance on the nation during 580,000 bombing missions between 1964 and 1973. A lot of these bombs didn't explode, and over 40 years later they are still killing and maiming innocent people. We visited COPE – an organisation trying to make things right.
Paradise Found in the Trang Archipelago, Thailand
For many people, visiting Thailand is a rite of passage. Slightly exotic, mostly comfortable, great weather, food and friendly people – the perfect spot to dip your toe in the water with your first independent backpacking trip. For one reason or another we'd never made the trip… until now. Tucked away down south we found some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
The Siam Express – An overnight train journey from Bangkok to Trang
There's something unique about long train journeys; a hint of romance, a pinch of nostalgia, visions of The Darjeeling Limited. We decided to ride the rails for the 839km trip from Bangkok to Trang, in Thailand's far south. It was a beautiful experience that attested to the sentiment 'it's as much about the journey as the destination.'

From the Written Memory to Social Space
Sylvette Babin
FEATURE: LIBRARYParticipatory Libraries and the Possibility of Making a MessIn this essay, Anja Bock discusses the paradigm shift that libraries have undergone in the last few decades and artists' position within them. By looking at the work of Cliff Eyland, Julia Weist, Elisa Lee and Adam Hinshaw, as well as Hal Ingberg, Bock shows how the library is both a rigid institution and a place of creative potential. She questions the idealistic rhetoric of democracy that envelops libraries, as well as the possibility of intervening in library procedures in more than a symbolic way.Anja BockThe Library and the Reconstruction of Discarded HistoryThe contemporary public library is a proactive performative space that liberates creative energies to challenge warped social and political dynamics. Yet the collective identity of the library still reflects an image of book repositories. The collections, which are less and less browsed, potentially become the material for creative stimulation. As library programming is rooted in its socio-political context, the ambiguity and contradictions within post-soviet Hungary present interesting experiments. Two Budapest-based exhibitions, Concrete and Dead Library, reflect on the socialist (written) heritage while encouraging visitors to think critically about their discarded history, and especially their present.Zsófia Bene & Olindo CasoThe Library as Social Space in the Work of Christine Hill and Shooshie SulaimanAlthough their work diverges on many points, artists Christine Hill and Shooshie Sulaiman both embrace the library as a social space that encourages engagement from the spectator including roaming, handling, reading, information gathering, social exchange and conversation. Using carefully crafted handmade books, as well as a range of appropriated books, Hill and Sulaiman tap into an everyday object that is both familiar in its form and at home in multiple social contexts, making it ideal for individual and collective consumption.Anna ArnarThe Library of 2114In 2014, Berlin-based Scottish visual artist, Katie Paterson, in collaboration with Bjorvika Utvikling, and the city of Oslo, began an art project called Future Library – Framtidsbiblioteket. Future Library is an art project intended to span over one hundred years. A forest with one thousand trees has been planted in Nordmarka, Norway, in order to supply the paper to print an anthology of books that will be read in one hundred years' time. While at first glance Paterson's art project is a reflection of what the library as an institution and the transfer of knowledge in general might look like in a hundred years, it is also an alternative way of reflecting on what the library is representative of and what role it plays in contemporary society.Paulina MickiewiczRetranscription of Foundational Texts in Simon Bertrand's WorkThe Québecois artist Simon Bertrand has retranscribed major works in the history of literature, among them a selection of foundational texts such as the Bible, Homer's Odyssey, and Plato's Symposium. To ground his process, Bertrand is particularly inspired by Truth or Death: The Quest for Immortality in the Western Narrative Tradition, by Thierry Hentsch, in which the philosopher looks at foundational texts from a different angle. Following Hentsch's path, Bertrand proposes new writing of the great narratives.Sylvette Babin

Shattering of the Nocturnai: Book One
Seventeen-year-old Lilik is gutterborn and sick of it. Done groveling to the tyrannical trader class and watching her family suffer, she is ready to be a hero. And the opportunity has finally arrived.
Lilik's nation is under siege by brutal sea tribes. But there is hope: on a distant volcanic island, a months-long night has fallen. An expedition plans to set sail, including young women—all trader-class—who will harness powerful magic gathering in the island's dark. Blind to the consequences, Lilik bluffs her way aboard and plunges into the dark.
Shortly after landfall, disaster strikes the expedition. Marooned in the oppressive dark, Lilik's shipmates succumb to primal fears and turn on each other. To survive, Lilik must evade their savagery, unravel the island's ancient secrets, and master her own, innate magic before it drives her mad.
Anything else will lead to her execution… and a cataclysm unseen since the last millennium.

I had a birthday recently. And I don't feel a day over 40! Which is great, except for the fact that I turned 36.
A few years ago, I gave up writing my New Year's Resolutions on New Year's Eve and began writing them on my birthday instead. (Sound familiar? Nataly does something similar on her birthday. Could this introspection be a key to success as a working mother? I'd like to think so.)
When I was a kid, my New Year's Resolutions were all about the things I thought I was supposed to be doing — practicing my violin every day, getting As in school, being nice to my brothers, etc. As I grew older, the resolutions changed, but the idea behind them didn't; they were still about the things I thought I was supposed to be doing. Each year, I'd vow to lose weight (why did I want to do this? I had a killer body back then, and no idea what to do with it), ace my performance reviews at work (the same as getting As at school, really), learn how to be less of a control freak (about 10 years ago I decided that you can't be a control freak if you can't control yourself, and I set to work on that instead).
New Year's Resolutions are supposed to be about bettering yourself, yes? Well now, firmly in my mid-30s, I've decided to make mine about bettering my life. So, here's what I'm going to do, I hope, in the next 12 months:
1.) Learn to put myself first, sometimes. I am terrible at this. I'd give you an example, but every one that I can think of makes me cringe a little. The point is that I realized recently that if I am last on my own list, then I'm allowing myself to be last on everyone else's lists, too, and I deserve better than that.
2.) Take better care of myself, emotionally and physically. Our 10-year-old looked at me this morning and said, "I think you still have a bit of makeup on from last night, around your eyes." Except I didn't — I just had enormous dark circles from being way too tired. I laughed it off, then wondered where the tipping point is — you know, the one where you stop wearing makeup to look older and start wearing it to look younger — and then decided I'd be getting myself a little of that Benefit Eye Bright Kristin raves about. It's just time. I'm also going to start scheduling those regular massages I used to treat myself to before I decided that I wasn't worth spending $75 on every month. They kept me sane, and relaxed, and centered — all of which gave made it easier for me to handle my daily juggle.
3.) Stop being afraid to ask for what I want. Our oldest girls — ages 12 and 14 — are in the throes of adolescence, and were complaining of their impending death by boredom. I tried to explain that if they'd only tell me what they wanted to do, I could try to figure out a way to make it happen, and that they're much more likely to get what they want in life if they can find a way to articulate it. And then I left the room and smacked myself because, hell, I'm 36 and I find myself reluctant to ask for what I want all the time. So, I'm going to stop being a hypocrite and practice what I preach. If I want something, I need to find a way to articulate it in order to get it. That includes asking for help when I'm overwhelmed.
4.) Set new goals. I had bunches of goals when I was in my mid-20s, and I am lucky to have been able to achieve most of them, 10 years later. Time to set some new ones.
5.) Count my blessings. Yes, the economy is awful and yes, I'm the primary breadwinner in our household and yes, that does stress me out a little. OK, a lot. But blessings abound. And I have been very lucky. Sometimes, remembering to be grateful for what you have can make it easier to differentiate between what you need to work for and what you just want.
What about you? What are your resolutions?

I know, I know, you have been waiting for this day since last Monday. Too much work pressure, consistent yelling of your boss and the meeting deadlines at the last minute –your life's finished. Isn't it? No, I don't think so. Sundays can never be uninteresting if you are a Delhi resident or staying in the capital for some time now.
If you are a kind of person who does not like to be restricted to the four walls of your home or hotel and want to embark upon a never-ending journey of fun, adventure and amusement, you need to get up early, put aside your blanket and tighten up your shoe lace for an exciting day in the capital of India. There are a pool of things waiting for you out there.
Fun Parks:
Can you hear the constant calling of dozens of amusement parks, water parks and picnic spots? These places get crowded by toddlers, bigger ones and couples occupying respective comfortable places – ideal places for refreshment. There is a wide range of interesting things to keep everyone busy – from delightful amusement rides (such as tele combate, hang glider, ranger and carousel) and water rides (such as flume raft slide, tube slider, multi lane slide and aqua twister) to adventure games (such as balance walking, tug of war, Burma bridge, paintball and commando tunnel crawl). At the same time, one should not miss the scrumptious gastronomy. Grab a chicken sweetcorn soup or bite a slice of pron and fish at Food Court.
Watch a Movie:
Hey lazy folks, there is an excellent way to immerse yourself in endless entertainment is to go and watch a movie. Whether you are a Bollywood movie buff (Salman Khan fan) or a Hollywood flick lover (die-hard fan of Leonardo DiCaprio), the national capital of India has an array of theaters showing flick at your disposal. Just drag your laptop and book a movie at some of the prominent cine-multiplexes such as PVR Cinemas, Fun Cinemas, Wave Cinemas and Satyam Cineplexes. Cinemas are and have always been a major form of entertainment in the national capital.
Shop till You Drop:
From funky to formals, from traditional to western, from jewelry to handicrafts, from branded stores to local stalls, from local souvenir to library, Delhi has an electrifying market that fulfills all your shopping needs. The vibrant atmosphere of Delhi markets keeps you busy shopping. You will find one shopping market better than its predecessor.
Connaught Place, DilliHaat, Sarojini Nagar, Palika Bazaar, ChandniChowk, Lajpat Nagar, Khan Market and Karol Bagh are leading markets bustling with local flavors. Why not buy a Banarasi sari for your mother on her birthday and make the special day even more exceptional?
Dine at Best Places:
What are you left with? Oh!!! How can I forget to mention your favorite eateries? I know you are a foodie, and my blog will be incomplete without mentioning the best places to eat in Delhi with family. Top-notch family restaurants close to your home are Indian Accent, Dakshin, Bukhara, Dum Pukht, Karim's and Punjabi by Nature. However, there is no dearth of Chinese restaurants, French restaurants, Japanese and Italian restaurants if you have had enough of Indian dishes.

As the 2011 Masters Competition draws to close in Augusta, Georgia, for many a budding Charl Schwartzel – winner of this years green jacket, it's time to get those clubs out of the garden shed, dust off your driver and head to the nearest golf course. It's also the time of year, as the weather gets nicer that we start to think about holidays, so why not combine the two? Imagine enjoying a game of golf with the sun beating down on your face, the sea breeze in your hair and stunning view across a dazzling blue sea and, of course, a cocktail or two at the nineteenth hole.
There are now hundreds of golf courses to choose from across Europe with Portugal and Spain perhaps heading the leader board for popularity, mainly because they are both easily accessible from the UK with frequent and short flight times. Turkey and Cyprus both have their fair share of picturesque greens along with African destinations such as Morocco and Tunisia with some better suited to summer holidays whilst others are playable all year round.
The Algarve in Portugal is a Mecca for keen golfers and is extremely popular with celebrities and footballers, many of whom have holiday homes here. The Hotel Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort and Spa is a Thomson A La carte property and not only rates as a 5T, but has something for the whole family, not just the golfer. The resort boasts 5 swimming pools, 2 tennis courts, a Spa with Zen Garden, a gym, driving range and a running track. Children are well catered for too with organised activities, their own pool, club and playground. Speaking of catering, this is where the Hotel Vilamoura As Cascatas Golf Resort and Spa really comes into its own with Portuguese and Latin American cuisine, Moscada international a la carte restaurant, a Mediterranean poolside restaurant and a snack bar serving Tapas.
One of the most beautiful places to enjoy golf holidays to Spain would have to be in the Costa de la Luz at the El Rompido Golf Hotel. This 5T property is located in the El Rompido Golf and Beach Resort and is surrounded by a stunning natural landscape. For those who don't play golf or for in your spare time there is a gym, sauna and option to book spa treatments. The kids have their own pool, playroom and kids club and with 5 further courses within 40km, you really are spoilt for choice.
Tunisia is perhaps not the first place to spring to mind when considering golf holidays abroad; however the excellent climate and great value accommodation make golfing holidays to Tunisia a very definite option. The Houda Golf and Beach Club in Skanes may only be rated a 3T property by Thomson but it not only has a Tunisian a la carte restaurant but also an Italian one too. Children have their own play area, kids club, pool and slides so the there's something for the whole family at the Houda Golf and Beach Club.
Turkey is rising year on year as a popular holiday destination and the Letoonia Golf Resort Hotel in Belek is a highly recommended choice for golf enthusiasts. The 4T Thomson property has a driving range and putting green onsite with unlimited golf lessons available for beginners. There is also easy access to a number of world class golf courses in the local area whilst back at base there are 4 swimming pools, one with slides to choose from at the end of a successful day on the green. If you fancy a break from golf there are plenty of activities around the hotel to keep you busy including badminton, archery, boccia, table tennis, billiards and even fishing. Children have their own pool and section of the main pool, soft play centre, playroom, playground, kids club and special menus. The whole family will love golf holidays to the Letoonia Golf Resort Hotel in Belek.
Golf holidays to Cyprus can be spent enjoying the hospitality of the St George Hotel in Paphos, West Cyprus. This Thomson platinum property has scored good or excellent with 90% or more of its customers and is a stylish hotel with extensive, immaculate grounds. The hotel offers concessions at local golf clubs and is more than happy to arrange bookings and organise tee off times for you. For days away from the greens there is a spa, tennis courts, squash, water sports and a gym to keep you busy, or simply relax on the sumptuous terraces looking out over the sea.
Moving Back to North Africa, the Sofitel Agadir Royalbay Resort in Agadir, Morocco is a 5T Thomson Chic & Unique property. Its exotic beachfront location and immaculate poolside terraces add to the sophisticated air that this hotel breathes. With swaying hammocks and sun loungers that resemble four poster beds it's a wonder anyone would actually want to leave thee property to go and play golf. However, if you do, then you will be lucky enough to benefit from discounted golf packages at the nearby Golf du Soleil course. The Sofitel Agadir Royalbay Resort can also boast 5 bars and 3 a la carte restaurants, a spa, Moroccan bath, sauna, massage, gym, tennis, table tennis and pool table. Children can enjoy their own playroom and kids club, so the whole family are kept happy on golf holidays to Agadir.

© Sue WookeyI've finally finished and scanned (I now have my own A3 scanner!) my companion piece to The Green Man Ready for Battle. Where he shows nature at its most implacable, The Green Lady is much gentler! She represents Nature at its most abundant and generous. I've surrounded her with honeysuckle because of its beautiful scent, field bindweed for abundance and strength, and blackberry blossom for its fruit. I've also painted in my favourite butterflies (comma, holly blue and ringlet) and a couple of visiting bees. There is even a tiny ladybird. As a final detail I've given her green eyelashes. If I was a Green Lady I wouldn't have anything less.The quotes around the border read:
Nature never did betray the heart that loved her - William Wordsworth
In leaf and blade, in bud and bloom exultantly her gladness grows - R.W. Service
The Green Lady is now available as a limited edition giclee print at Galley Hill Art.

I'm finally done with sorting out the millions of photos for this event. Phew~
So as you all know, I was part of the Lowrys Farm, Arm in Arm with Lowrys Farm event to showcase pieces from them! They are finally opened at Bugis+ (formerly know as Illuma)
This post is gonna be photo spams with backstage photos as well as on stage.
So be prepared to start scrolling and drool at pretty and handsome models~ Nyahahaha!
Starting this photo spammage with a photo I love that was taken with Fumi-San (http://fumilabo.blogspot.com/) who was the stylist for the day and Yuki-San who did my awesome hair from Monso Salon!
Was supposed to reach the place at 9am for rehearsal and I was quite surprised I actually managed to wake up and reach there on time! Well, it was lucky I didn't have to do any makeup/hair. All I needed to do was to bathe and wash up =D
The stage was done up really nicely with cute lil ponies~ <3
You'll see the full stage soon in the later pictures!
After the rehearsal, all the models scrambled off to have hair and make up done.
Yes this was how messy it was in the room. XD
And then.... The show officially starts!
And.... That is the full runway!
The emcee is super pretty btw, she looks super adorable in that floral pants.
After all the introduction, the first part of the fashion show started!
There were 2 outfits for all the models to change into. I'll post a few here because there were SO MANY PHOTOS!!
Click HERE to see the full album of photos of all the models~
I kinda "represented" HEATHER most probably because of my height as HEATHER comes out with a tad more matured clothes for those who liked the Onee Kei (Older Sister style) which was really me actually unlike Lowrys Farm which was adorable!
And there was Lenne! She's super cute I tell you! Awesomely funny when she started talking in the British accent, I was laughing like crazy. XD

Vera, who was standing behind me. She's super tall too! And nice~~ <3
And the a couple other pretty models whom I didn't get to talk to because it was so hectic =(
But I liked their outfits!
And the final roll for part 1!
After Part 1 was finished, the hair styling session started and So San from Kizuki+Lim who did my hair style the previous time at the Collect Point Fashion Bloggers Event (Read here for my post!) was there too!

Received cute cookies from blogger buddy Kelly too~
She's so cute really~ I love her!! <3 XD
The models and staffs were then invited to the "after party" which was more like a gathering cum dinner after the event.
Some of the staffs as well as Fumi-san and Yuki-San were there too!
Thanks for all the hard work!!
Fumi-san and Yuki-San who were seated beside me started to camwhore together and they were so funny, they wanted to get pretty pictures too and ended up posing all the same to get the "small face" shot. XD
Group shot with Fumi-san, Yuki-san, Kelly and Nabiah!
Yea, Yuki-san is super humourous~ Can't stand him.. XD
I'm so gonna visit him for a hair cut soon~
And how could I miss out on camwhoring with Kelly?!
It was a very fun and experiencing day for me and I really enjoyed it!
I hope that all of you did too!!
I'll see you lovely Golly-Lockies soon in my next post and hopefully I'll see you at the next event coming up soon too!

Analyst: Cyber Attacks On Social Networking Sites Growing at Alarming Rate
Survey finds that Facebook posed the biggest risk to security; iPad will become a threat in the coming year.
Cyber attacks on Facebook and other social networking sites are growing at an alarming rate, according to a report on security threats released Wednesday by IT security firm Sophos.
According to a Sophos 2010 survey that is included in the report, 40% of social networking users quizzed had been sent malware such as worms via social networking sites, a 90% increase since April 2009; 67% said they had been spammed via social networking sites; and 43% had been on the receiving end of phishing attacks, more than double the figure since April 2009.
A total of 82% of respondents felt that Facebook -- which by mid-2010 recorded a half-billion active users -- posed the biggest risk to security.
The report suggests that a major problem for Facebook is its app system and that the social network could combat the trouble by operating more like the Apple App Store with a walled garden approach in contrast to allowing more open access.
"Rogue applications, clickjacking, survey scams -- all unheard of just a couple of years ago -- are now popping up on a daily basis on social networks such as Facebook," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "Why aren't Facebook and other social networks doing more to prevent spam and scams in the first place? People need to be very careful they don't end up being conned for their personal details or get tricked into clicking on links that could earn money for cybercriminals or infect innocent computers."
Sophos suggests that more cyber criminals will target iPad users in the coming year.
