10/31/2007, Have you seen this before? this is not in USA, this is in Shanghai, in AOE, the Chinese version OFC/NFOEC. OSA organized 12 companies to attend this show.
We cann't say this show very successful. I can say it is more successful than last year for visiters, and it is successful for organizers. But for exhibitors, I don't know, especially for those foreign exhibitors who pay a good price for the show. Many their counterparts in China got the booth nearly free.
I don't want to critize the organizer, they have done a good job, it is not a easy thing to make this kind of optical communication show in China. Chinese companies often don't want to waste their money on advertisment or kinds of show, except they cann't find other direct way to find customers. You can think, such kind of show cann't help them find customers.
The organzier told us they would continue this show next year, I hope thye will be more successful in 2008.

I've been freelancing now for a month or so and I am loving it.
The best part of it is feeling OK about saying no.
Saying no to a projects I think I'd be no good for
Saying no to something I'm not intersted in
Saying no because I want to spend more time with Fin
Don't get me wrong. I'm not turning down stuff left, right and centre. But the power of being able to turn something down is one of the most attractive aspects of this gig. And hopefully it will free me up for the fun stuff and the fun people – and there is a lot of that about.

Speaking of patience, on October 25th Bush made the following statement: "We're making it clear that America's patient [sic] is not unlimited." Yes, that's what he said--in fact that's straight from the official White House transcript, including the [sic].
When I searched for this quote on Google the first hit was for an article on NPR's web site, and the excerpted text that Google displayed for the NPR page showed the "patient" gaffe exactly as Bush had said it. But when I clicked through to the NPR page as it actually is today, I found that NPR had corrected the quote so that it now contained the word "patience" instead, like a normal, educated, literate human being might say it. The fact that Google had cached the "patient" text means that NPR initially published the correct quote, but later decided that they should go back and cover for Bush's idiocy.
There goes that liberal media again--always trying to make Bush look bad.
This is nothing new or even uncommon. The fine folks at FAIR caught the CBS and NBC nightly news shows carefully editing Bush's response to a question about whether he was frustrated with the level of violence in Baghdad, in a way that made him sound like not quite the tone-deaf nincompoop he actually is. The jarringly offensive part of Bush's response was this: "Sometimes I'm happy. This is -- but war is not a time of joy." Both CBS and NBC were careful to omit this part of Bush's response from their reporting, but CBS actually went the extra mile of dropping just these two sentences from Bush's answer, accurately quoting what he'd said both immediately before and immediately after as though it was a single, contiguous quote; the offending words simply disappeared. It makes you wonder if Winston Smith is working for CBS these days.
And back in 2003, after reporting Bush's statement that the US gave Saddam Hussein "a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in," the Washington Post said that "The president's assertion that the war began because Iraq did not admit inspectors appeared to contradict the events leading up to war this spring." This would be roughly like the Post saying that "The president's assertion that the sun hasn't risen for the last decade appears to contradict the observed series of sunrises over the past ten years." It's hard to imagine a more bald-faced lie on Bush's part--or a more mealy-mouthed way for the Post to present it. Salon has a good summary of this particular repeated lie of Bush's, and the media's ongoing dedication to ignoring and underplaying it for him.
So the "liberal" (and supposedly adversarial) media won't even publish Bush's actual statements if they feel it would reflect poorly on him, and will go so far as to edit and correct them for him if necessary--despite the fact that the most basic standards of journalism require them to provide accurate quotes. That's a level of servility you wouldn't be surprised to find in a dictatorship.

Hello All!
I wanted to design a business card for a blog that I just started and wanted it to echo some of the imagery on the blog. As I'm still in the process of defining the content, I didn't want to add the description of it just yet to the card. So far, its very romantic, modern, shabby chic and inspirational. I do intend on turning it to a business later so I want the idea to translate later on with just adding words. I used Helvetica just as a break from my normal font usage.
For the second project, I used the bio blurb on my blog to utilize the serif fonts. My favorite fonts to use are Georgia & Goudy Old style so the top right was me "going crazy" and mixing them up. The bottom right is just Georgia and the top left is Adobe Caslon ( I love it's stylized amperstands!) I also used American Typewriter because of the nostalgic aspect. I chose center alignment for all of them just as a matter of personal preference because all my blog posts are also center alligned a well.

I would ruffle the world if I could.
and so....when it's snowing and blowing what do I do??
Pour a nice glass of vino and hop on-line to do a little dreaming!
I love ruffled clothes.
Just look at these spring coats, aren't they dreamy:)How about a cute little belt~
Or a happy little sweater~Or if you're like me and really love shoes~
Or maybe you just want to do a spring sprucing to your space~
I will be teaching myself how to make these pillows! I just need about 3 more hours in the day:)
Either way.....you won't be disappointed if you add a few ruffles to your life:)
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The search for sponsorship can be a tough one. You may think that your work is done once the race season starts, but, in fact, that may be the best time to be lining up sponsors. It doesn't hurt to put a little extra money into your program throughout the year, does it?
One of the biggest challenges in finding sponsorship is asking the right people. Some are willing to listen to your proposal; some won't return a phone call. It's the nature of the sponsorship hunt. However, there are some types of companies that are primed and ready to sponsor racing. They might not know it yet, but they could be much easier to convince.
Here are our top ten types of companies you should ask to sponsor your race team.
- Your Local "Mom 'N Pop" Store.
Local family-owned businesses are always looking for ways to keep up with the big-market types of store. Whether it's groceries, sporting goods, hardware, etc., they all have to try to compete with online shopping and the big-box stores. Let them know how loyal race fans are. Did you know a recent study showed 72% of motorsports enthusiasts showed loyalty to a brand/company? Use that information to show the value of advertising with your race team.
- Any Company that Advertises on a Billboard
This one is pretty simple mathematics. If a company is doing well enough to advertise on a billboard, they certainly should be able to afford a race car. Depending on where these billboards are located, the prices can be hefty. You might not get the same number of eyeballs as a billboard on the freeway, but who is more attentive to the message? Wouldn't you rather advertise to a captivated race fan versus someone who might be road raging on their way to work?
- Any New Business
If you have a finger on the pulse of the businesses in your area, you should know when something new is opening. If it's a new restaurant or a store, let the owner know how much you can help spread the word. Offer to show off your race car at the grand opening, or on a day they would like to drive some extra business. If it's a new service company (i.e. plumber, electrician) offer them a chance to come see you at the track. Help them build some team chemistry for the office, and let them see their race car in action.
- Local Distributors
Have you ever seen a car that is sponsored by a big beer or beverage company and wondered why you can't have that on your car? For the most part, those drivers didn't get that sponsorship through the big corporation itself. They locked down that sponsorship through a local beverage distributor. Check to see who distributes beverages to your favorite local gas stations, grocery stores, and even the race track. They might be worth a proposal the next time.
- Local Bars
The bar business is tough. Much like the other Mom N' Pop shops, locally-owned bars are always looking for a way to get an edge against the big chains and other forms of competition. This particular tip comes with a caveat…you may not get much money from a local bar. However, a lot of bars may sponsor you with "product" or a tab after the races. Money saved is money earned.
- Pet Care Businesses
Have you seen a pet care business on someone's race car and wondered, 'what does that have to do with racing?' Well, when it comes down to it, pets are pretty universal. They can generate some serious dollars too. A 2015 estimate showed that American may have spent up to $60 billion on pets. Do you have someone locally who sells pet food? Maybe a pet daycare service? Check those out next time you're working on proposals.
- Local Sports Teams
No, you don't want to go to the Green Bay Packers, Boston Red Sox, or Indiana Pacers asking for money. However, many lower-tier sports teams have an interest in different types of promotions. It isn't rare to see a minor league baseball or hockey team lending their colors to a race car. If you see your local sports team doing things outside of the box when it comes to advertising, let them know how your race team could help them sell some tickets.
- Your Work Place
It may seem obvious, but have you asked? Many race teams are sponsored by the driver's, crew's, or owner's place of business. If you haven't asked, you could be missing a major opportunity. Who better to spread the word of a business than a happy employee behind the wheel of a race car?
- Your Family/Friends/Fans
Some racers have found an interesting way to get together some extra cash, either for the whole season or a big event. Racers will put out an all-call on their social media pages and ask for small amounts at a time. In exchange anyone who donates gets their name on the car for the event. You never know, something like this could attract a bigger fish in the future. Just make sure you follow up with whatever your promises are to these people.
- The Company on that Other Race Car
Now, don't get us wrong. We're not advocating that you try to steal someone else's sponsor. However, if a company is already willing to sponsor one race car, are they willing to sponsor more? Try to show them the extra value. Maybe you race at another track and can help bring their product/service more exposure. So long as you show them the extra investment in racing can be worth it, they might be willing to help. But remember; don't try to tell them they are wrong to sponsor someone else. There is a reason they made that investment. Be sure to respect that.

• You may want to start out by reading Woolf's manifesto for the new
form of writing she is trying to invent: "Modern Fiction." Slightly
revised from an essay called "Modern Novels" published in 1919 -- around
the time she was writing "Mark on the Wall" (1917) and "Kew Gardens"
(1919) -- this is Woolf's best known and most often-quoted essay. You
want to look for what she is attacking in the previous generation of
writers and what she wants to see in the new writing. (make lists)
• Then think about how "Mark" and "Kew" embody these ideas.
• Jane Goldman has a brief section on "Modern Fiction" in her book
(103-6), and Mark Hussey has a page-long entry on it in his A to Z (on
• As you read the short stories, be thinking about "A Sketch of the
Past." What structures/ ways of writing do these works have in common?
Can you begin to articulate a sense of Woolf's characteristic style? How
does she think? And how is that revealed in the way she organizes or
structures her stories? Also be alert for common themes and images.
Twenty+ years separate these short stories from her memoir. Are there
issues which she seems to be concerned with across that arc of time?
• There are several overviews about the short stories available:
o Goldman, Cambridge Intro, pp. 87-92 (R) REQUIRED
o Sandra Kemp's Introduction to the selected short stories for Penguin (BB)
o Baldwin, Dean. "Bold Experiments" 13-26 in Virginia Woolf: A Study of the Short Fiction (1989) (BB)
o I personally favor A. Fleishman's "Forms of the Woolfian Short Story"
(1980) which posits 2 different forms for the stories: linear and
circular (though we can argue quite a bit over which stories are which).
o Dick, Susan."Chasms in the Continuity of Our Way: Jacob's
Room."Chapter Two of Virginia Woolf. London & New York: Edward
Arnold, 1989. (R) Connects the early short stories up to the method and
themes of Jacob's Room.
• On first reading, this story appears to be quite random and chaotic.
Just read it a couple of times, letting the images sink in. Then I would
advise going through and trying to make your own outline of what each
paragraph is about.
• Can you see any turning points in the story? Can you clump any paragraphs into groups?
• What seem to be the repeated images and concerns? ( Repetition is the key to meaning)
• What is the story "about"?
• Use the same reading process with "Kew." Notice the various characters
in the story and how the narration/ point of view shifts among them. Is
there any pattern here?

Course Description
This graduate seminar explores a chronological selection of Virginia Woolf's works, viewed through numerous theoretical lenses, with special emphasis on phenomenological, feminist, and space/place approaches. Sustained attention will be paid to interdisciplinary perspectives which link Woolf to a variety of other arts, to research opportunities in digital archives, and to participation in the lively international Virginia Woolf Community. Students will be encouraged to bring in and adapt critical/theoretical contexts from other RCID classes to produce original, inventive interpretations of Woolf's work. For the RCID program, this course will provide background for subsequent work with Dr. Holmevik in producing a serious game based on Woolf and her circle.

In deciding whether to vote YES or NO on the fiscal treaty I have focused in on one question i.e.
" Will voting YES or NO be best for jobs?"
I am clear that the answer to this question is unequivocally YES. Specifically I believe a YES vote increases the likelyhood of new multinational companies coming to Ireland and existing ones expending their presence here. This in turn will give rise to jobs in the indigenous companies big and small who provide services to these multinational companies.
I am not persuaded by many of the arguments on other aspects of the treaty by proponents and opponents but I am very clear on the jobs issue which is why I will be be voting YES on May 31st.

CTE Frequently Asked Questions
CTE Technical Support
Pay Online
Register Online
When are courses offered?
We offer a full schedule of courses in Fall and Spring semesters. The course lists are posted in the CTE Information section of this webpage. The semesters are 12 weeks typically beginning in September in Fall and in February for Spring. During the summer,we offer an abbreviated selection of courses. We have two summer sessions that run for 6 weeks each: Summer 1 has licensure classes only and Summer 2 has both licensure and recertification classes.
How do I register for a CTE course?
The course registration process is an online process that only takes a few minutes. Since our courses are not part of a degree-seeking program, there is no need to complete a full admissions packet or send transcripts. You can find the online registration link on any of the spring, summer, or fall course listing webpages.
How do I pay for my course(s)?
Tuition charges are posted within a few days of registering and must be paid prior to the starting day of the course. Tuition can be paid by either mailing a check payable to UVA-WISE ,Attention Cashier's Office, 1 College Avenue, Wise, VA 24293 ~ OR ~ by calling the Cashier's Office at (276) 328-0107 or 0108 and paying with a debit/credit card. If you have indicated that your school division is paying your tuition, please ensure they are aware of the incoming invoice.
How do I drop a course?
Your (digital) signature on the registration form serves as a contract between you and the college that contains financial obligations. If situations arise in which you wish to drop any course, it may be done by clicking the "course drop form" on the left of the CTE homepage. At that point, refund of tuition will be made in accordance with the UVa‐Wise refund policy. According to your drop date, some tuition charges may still be due. Please reference this site to ensure your account balance is settled.
Is my CTE course online?
Nearly all CTE courses are online using the Moodle course management system. Unless specifically stated your course will be online.
How is my CTE course structured?
CTE courses are in a modified asynchronous format. This basically means you will log in each week to work through media, text, and project resources at the time that suits your schedule best. Some instructors will offer webinars or conference calling options for students to additionally interact. Please consult your course syllabus for specific details.
What do I do if I forget my password?
The college offers students the opportunity to reset their password 24/7 through the online SMOP (Self Maintenance of Password) website. A SMOP link is accessible on the CTE homepage on the lower left of the page. This is where you will originally establish your password – AND, where you will come to reset your password if you have forgotten it or tried the wrong password too many times (3) and become locked out of the course site or email. Based upon successfully answering the 3 security questions used to initially set up your password, you will be permitted to reset or change your password. For more information please visit CTE Technical-Support .
How do I get my grades/transcripts?
Our college semesters typically end by the second week of May (spring), the second week of August (Summer), and the second week of December (fall). Grades will be officially posted shortly after that time. Paper copies of grades are no longer standardly mailed out but can be accessed along with unofficial transcripts via the web through the student information portal MY UVAWISE. Here are directions to get the following:
GRADES – Go to MY UVAWISE log in at the top left; select the brown "student" tab; select "grade report" on left; choose appropriate semester; then click "view final grade report". If your grade report is showing WIP, this indicates that the course is still "work in progress" and the official grades have not be posted by the Registrar as of yet.
UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS – Unofficial transcripts can be printed off during the semester you are enrolled in a course and for a few weeks after the semester ends (print them at the end of each semester for your records). There is no charge for unofficial transcripts, and it is up to your employing school division as to whether they will accept unofficial in lieu of official transcripts. To obtain an unofficial transcript, go to MY UVAWISE log in at the top left; select the brown "student" tab; select "reports and billing" on the left; then select "unofficial transcript" under the reports and billing section on left. If your unofficial transcript is showing WIP, this indicates that the course is still "work in progress" and the official grades have not been posted by the Registrar as of yet. PLEASE NOTE: You can only access this portal if you currently have an active campus user ID and password – you would use the same information to login to the MY UVA-WISE portal that you have been using for Moodle or campus email.
OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS – Typically, school divisions and the DOE will require an official transcript in dealing with Virginia licensure. If you are in need of an official transcript (minimal fees apply), you can order them online at the Registrar's Website. You may go ahead and order an official transcript any time prior to the end of the course. Be sure to indicate "wait until close of current semester" so your pending/current class will show on the transcript. If you are not currently up for renewal, I encourage you to wait until closer to your renewal year to order official transcripts because there is a minimal fee involved – and it could be that you take another course through our department prior to your renewal.

Being inspired and committed to an entrepreneurial dream are two key attributes of every successful business owner, and there was no place this was more evident than at the NFTE Dare to Dream Gala April 18th.
Being inspired and committed to an entrepreneurial dream are two key attributes of every successful business owner, and there was no place this was more evident than at the NFTE Dare to Dream Gala April 18th.
It was on this night that 33 young entrepreneurs from 10 different countries were recognized by NFTE as this year's "Global Young Entrepreneurs of the Year." With businesses ranging from fire-resistant vests for chefs to the business of tea culture and products, each business was more intriguing than the next and behind them all were the conceptions, dreams, and hard work of those who pursued their entrepreneurial goal.
What motivates these young people to keeping believing in and being inspired by an entrepreneurial dream? Many NFTE kids make their first entrée into the business world through us, thus we have very big shoes to fill in helping them keep their dreams alive. We like to continually provide them with resources that will guide them towards the next milestone that develops their business. In part two of this article, we'll be discussing some of these resources, including our newest, most exciting effort to date: www.MakeYourJob.org, which will be released in mid-May and will be accessible to all kids around the world and across socioeconomic lines.
Wes Moore (l) and his mother Joy (r) congratulate NFTE Global Young Entrepreneur of the Year Stephanie Foxworth on her business, Elaborate Dips
But what we'd like to first discuss — and pay tribute to — are the many meaningful ways NFTE kids have access to one-on-one support through our teachers and our supporters. Who can possibly build a successful business without knowing there are people behind them who believe in their effort?
NFTE President and CEO Amy Rosen (l) congratulates NFTE Global Young Entrepreneur of the Year Qiong Qiong Wang on her business, the Tao Mingxuan Teahouse.
At NFTE, we stand on the shoulders of giants — our foundation's supporters — who not only provide us with the funds to help kids, but are there to nurture them and share in the joy of their development as students and entrepreneurs. Imagine being handed a college scholarship from Ernst & Young directly from the firm's own president and CEO Jim Turley. NFTE student and Global Young Entrepreneur of the Year Stephanie Foxworth didn't have to imagine that scene, as she was presented her award from him at our Gala and personally congratulated by our own NFTE President and CEO, Amy Rosen, who acts as mentor to all GYEY if they want it. Or how about a young entrepreneur being personally congratulated by Goldman Sachs' Tucker York, Global Head, Private Wealth Management and NFTE Board member. Mr. York welcomed each of our entrepreneurs at the Gala and lauded their business and academic achievements. Daymond John, star of ABC's Shark Tank, personally recognized the work of Andres Cardona, NFTE Global Young Entrepreneur of the Year from South Florida during the Gala, and inspired the crowd with his story. MasterCard's Ron Garrow, Group Executive, Global Head, Human Resources announced each NFTE teacher and personally thanked them for their innovation and dedication to NFTE students.
NFTE teachers receive recognition during the NFTE Gala from MasterCard International.
Our NFTE teachers are equally inspiring to their kids, and do much of their teaching through their actions as well as classroom instructions. Our teachers act as sounding boards for their students, and are their constant mentors and cheerleaders. Teachers across the country have realized that using entrepreneurship education to motivate their students is a wonderful way to link classroom work to the creation of practical business models and real-life opportunities. And as kids get more involved in the classroom, their relationships with their teachers improve. This means more students stay in school, complete their studies and go on to post-secondary education, and quite possibly a life of entrepreneurship.

3. This will start the repair
4. Press F8 for I Agree at the Licensing Agreement
5. Press R when the directory where WindowsXP is installed is shown. Typically this is C:\WINDOWS
6. It will then check the C: drive and start copying files
7. It will automatically reboot when needed. Keep the CD in the drive.
8. You will then see the graphic part of the repair that is like during a normal install of XP (Collecting Information, Dynamic Update, Preparing Installation, Installing Windows, Finalizing Installation)
9. When prompted, click on the Next button
10. When prompted, enter your XP key
11. Normally you will want to keep the same Workgroup or Domain name
12. The computer will reboot
13. Then you will have the same screens as a normal XP Install
14. Activate if you want (usually a good idea)
15. Register if you want (but not necessary)
16. Finish
Hardcore method when nothing else is working
Step #1
1. Locate the Nettcpip.inf file in %winroot%\inf, and then open the file in Notepad.
2. Locate the [MS_TCPIP.PrimaryInstall] section.
3. Edit the Characteristics = 0xa0 entry and replace 0xa0 with 0x80.
4. Save the file, and then exit Notepad.
5. In Control Panel, double-click Network Connections, right-click Local Area Connection, and then select Properties.
6. On the General tab, click Install, select Protocol, and then click Add.
7. In the Select Network Protocols window, click Have Disk.
8. In the Copy manufacturer's files from: text box, type c:\windows\inf, and then click OK.
9. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click OK.
Note This step will return you to the Local Area Connection Properties screen, but now the Uninstall button is available.
10. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click Uninstall, and then click Yes.
11. Restart
Succesfull uninstallation of TCP/IP will remove numerous keys from the registry including:
These represent various interconnected and interdependant services.
For good measure you should delete the following keys before reinstalling TCP/IP in step #2:
Step #2
Reinstall of TCP/IP
Following the above substep #3, replace the 0x80 back to 0xa0, this will eliminate the related "unsigned driver" error that was encountered during the uninstallation phase.
Return to "local area connection"> properties > general tab > install > Protocol > TCP/IP
You may receive an "Extended Error" failure upon trying to reinstall the TCP/IP, this is related to the installer sub-system conflicting with the security database status.
To check the integrity of the security database
esentutl /g c:\windows\security\Database\secedit.sdb
There may be a message saying database is out of date
First try the recovery option
esentutl /r c:\windows\security\Database\secedit.sdb
If this don't work for you, you needthe repair option
esentutl /p c:\windows\security\Database\secedit.sdb
Rerun the /g option to ensure that integrity is good and database is up to date.
Now return to the "local area network setup"
Choose install > protocol > TCP/IP and try again

Mentoring and Coaching for Trainers by Richard Bolstad
Can your NLP training business be a fun way to earn money for the lifestyle of your dreams? For some years now, I've been running NLP and other training in several places around the world. Now that we have completed NLP Trainer trainings on four different continents, there are hundreds of NLP trainers who have trained with us at Transformations and who are working to spread these skills throughout the world. If you are one of them, you know that just attending more trainings is not the most efficient way to build your expertise, in terms of time or money.
To be your best you need an individual Training Coach or Mentor. Unfortunately most successful trainers are too busy to provide this service, or they guard their personal training secrets too carefully. I do have training commitments on many days, AND, after a few requests, I've decided that making this coaching service available is a priority. Furthermore, I want to share my 40 years of training, coaching and writing experience with you and help you plan your own career. I am currently coaching trainers in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Details: Skype allows us to connect wherever you are across the world, and quickly link into coaching without wasting travel time. Paypal makes payment easy from the same computer or phone you use for coaching. Sessions are done in English so you may need to organise an interpreter if that is not a language you speak. Email me your outcomes or topics for our session 24 hours before to get the best out of each session. Join me for individual 30 minute sessions (NZ$120) or 60 minute sessions (NZ$240). NZ$100 is currently about 7,450 Yen, US$68, or 60 Euro. New Zealand clients who are GST registered can claim back the GST. Email me right now to arrange a time that suits us both, and to let me know your Skype account name at Richard Bolstad.

My Kindle died halfway to work this morning and as I then found myself with nothing to read I picked up a copy of the Metro. I had a quick flick through it and found the following texts that had been sent in. Unfortionatly I didn't read yesterdays paper so I don't have the full context for them but I think you can get the jist;
"Andrew, not everyone with coloured hair is an attention-seeker. I'm free to dye my hair whatever colour I want and shouldn't have to put up with the bigotry of narrow-minded folk." – Chris, Manchester
"Green mohawk lady, don't let the other comments bother you. I've never laid eyes on you but I bet you're amazingly beautiful." – Purple Mohawk Bloke, Newcastle
"Happily anonymous brunette, why should people change their hair colour because other people are being rude?" – Red/Black-Haired Girl, via text
I must say I agree. Why shouldn't we have whatever hair colour makes us feel confident and happy. I have suffered from the opposite problem to the people above and had people insult me because I have chosen to keep my natural colour. Yes I will occasionally add coloured streaks, purple and red to date, but on the whole I am happy with my hair colour. Yet I at one point when I was at university had a teenager yell after me, and I am paraphrasing here because I really don't want to repeat what he actually said, "The carpet matches the drapes!"
People should be free to present themselves in whatever way makes them happy. Yes, I understand that there are some situations when you do need to tone it down a bit, but on the whole what is the problem with having green hair or a mohawk. Just because it doesn't fit with other peoples, sometimes very narrow, view of what is attractive does not mean that everyone else agrees with you or that they are just doing it to get attention. When people have asked me and my boyfriend why we dress a certain way my usual response is to say, well why are you wearing what you are. Because you like it and you feel comfortable in it. It's the same for us.
I did text a reply to the metro I wait to see if they will publish it.

New Blog! I've Moved Addresses
Hey guys! In my absence here I have set up a brand new blog with a new design and everything. You can find it here. Lotsa love! - Manna
How to Set Goals (and Actually Follow Through!)
I decided that right now is the perfect time to post about goal setting, and how to keep going once you've done that. Why? The beginning of February is when most New Years Resolutions run out of steam. What's really cool is that there is a way to set and sustain achievable goals!
- Step 1: What Do You Want?
Whilst I believe it's all well and good to discuss how social media is 'fake' and you shouldn't compare yourselves to other people's 'perfect' lives, because they are just the highlights, and so on and so forth, it's more productive to actually use those feelings of envy to your advantage.
What is it about that photo that appeals to you so much? What parts of that blogger's 'perfect' life would you like to be a part of yours? Is it the ridiculously tumblr smoothie bowl they have of a morning? The way they seem to fit both study and socialising easily into their lifestyle? Their ability to spread positivity wherever they go?
Write a list of everything you want to add, remove or fit into your life - whether it's physical, social, spiritual, emotional, mental, financial or blogging related. Do you want a job? An A in maths? A pair of those SUPER DUPER cute converses? Whatever it is, compile it all into a massive list. Look at pictures that inspire you if you want. What is it about them that excites you? Keep going until your happy with your list, like if you had all these things you would be SO HAPPY. More time with friends? Waking up earlier in the morning? Healthy school lunches each day? Just write.
- Step 2: Prioritise
What are the few goals that are most important to you right now? What are the ones that move you towards where you want to go in life - the ones that would make you feel the most satisfied to have achieved? The ones that would most excite you?
- Step 3: Make 'em S.M.A.R.T
Time bound
Writing out your goals like this ensures you know exactly where you're headed. Vague goals like 'get healthy' are basically a one-way route to failure.
For example: 'study maths on Khan Academy for 15 minutes every weekday' seems a lot more doable than, 'be good at maths'.
It's specific - not vague. It's measurable - you'll know when you've completed it. It's achievable - everyone has a spare 15 minutes in their day and you have all the resources there to help you if you get stuck. It's reasonable - it won't get in the way of other important activities, and it's time bound - 15 minutes every weekday.
Once you've done this, write yourself a list of reasons you both can and want to achieve each goal, and file them away for when you're lacking motivation. The more excited you are about your fabulous lifestyle-in-progress, the more likely you are to keep on keepin' on.
- Step 4: Write Them Out
My current goals look like this:
(Whilst some of these may seem lofty, each and every one gets me excited. It's important to have goals that are achievable, but that you still have to work for. :) Of course, your goals will be unique and these are just for reference!)
These goals only have to make sense to you, a quick reminder of what you're aiming for. They don't even have have to be written in S.M.A.R.T. form, they should give you a big picture of where you want to go. You should never feel embarrassed for what you want, even if it seems ridiculously far off!
It's helpful to have your goals up where you can see them (mine are on my pin board) so that whenever you're tempted to stay on Instagram for an extra 10 minutes, you can see the very definite goals you have and you can do something to work towards them instead.
- Step 5: Game Plan:
Write out every. single. step you need to take to achieve every goal. I keep all my game-plans in a folder because they take up 1-2 A4 pages, so they don't quite fit on my pin board.
For example, in order to top 5 classes I will need to top: the in class work, homework, assessments, exams and behaviour. Then I have steps for doing all of those things. :)
Make sure you have steps right down to something you can do today, like 'get some new pens that don't leak' if you want to study more often, or 'take or find a nice photo of me for my résumé' if you want a job.
If your goal is something you want to do daily, like cook a nice breakfast, write a game plan/to-do list, but also add it to a check-list of activities to do daily, otherwise you just might forget it in the rush to get ready for school!
- Step 6: Just Do It!
You know what you need to do, so go do it! Add the activities to your to-do list for the day. Have a spare minute? Work on your goals. Get busy creating your dream life! If you've got a detailed plan, it's likely that nothing can stop you except yourself, so go get 'em!
Still don't feel like powering on?
- How to Start and KEEP GOING:
- Work out what inspires you. Incorporate that into your day. e.g. going for a run, reading a good book, reviewing your goals.
- Likewise, work out what makes you feel 'blah'. Avoid those thoughts and activites. e.g. eating an entire bag of chips when you get home from school.
- If you really feel like you can't knuckle down, do everything on your list for 10 minutes (or whatever works). Everyone can fit 10 minutes of exercise, study and cleaning into their day. You have the same 24 hours as everyone else.
- If you find something like exercise a chore, do it for you and how you feel not because you 'should'. Don't you feel better after you've exercised? Do it because it puts you in a positive headspace to tackle the rest of your goals.
- Working towards one goal makes you feel productive and successful, which allows you to work on the next one, and so forth.
- Realise how lucky you are to have access to every resource you need to complete this goal, be grateful, and then utilise them.
- STOP BLAMING. It is no-one else's fault if you don't exercise today. Not the weather's, not the people around you and not school, You can always wake up earlier, and I'm willing to bet that those 10 minutes you couldn't find for fitness were spent on your phone. (I'm often guilty of this...)
- Do it because it's what YOU want. Visualise the future you want - the one you'll have if you work your butt off towards this goal!
- Put your goals and sources of inspiration in a place where you can see them.
- Talk to other people. It makes your goals feel real and definite.
- Remember that if you don't achieve this goal, it doesn't affect anyone else. It'll just be your problem, and there will always be people out there who are working harder and achieving what YOU want.
"I will write one goal (and a game plan) out, and do one thing towards making that dream a reality by 9 o'clock tonight."
Go get 'em!
Leave a comment or check out my social media and send me a message, I can't wait to hear all about what you're excited about achieving!

I had a very interesting class today. The course is called Foundations of Liberal Arts and its a philosophy course in the sense that we'll be studying various renowned philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche, al-Ghazali and Descartes to name a few) in order to learn and analyse what makes up "the true, the good and the beautiful."
So anyways, we started off with along discussion about how nothing in this universe, including the universe itself, is necessary at all. In fact, the universe was a mere POTENTIALITY that turned into ACTUALITY because of some sort of NECESSARY CONDITION. This condition, we concluded, could either be pure chance, some necessary law/creator/force or the desire/will of the potentiality to grow into an actuality. It must seem confusing right now but it was actuallyreally interesting. This went on for a while, and we even got into alot of nitty gritties of science and physics and what all of it has to say about this. Science, apparently, advcates that the universe was created due to pure chance. In fact there's even some really famous science-ish guy called Roger Penrose who calculated that the mathematical likelihood of the universe being created by pure chance is 1:10(to the power of)10(to the power of)123. Its a really TINY number, very close to 0 but NOT 0. Infact, I was taught today that the distance between this number and 0 is INFINITY. HOW? No idea!
Anyways, the discussion then moved on to the reading we had to do of Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and we talked a bit about how it was different from other narrative works mostly because Frankl was actually qualified as a psychiatrist to write about and analyse the concentration camps. Experience clearly does make big difference when it comes to doing something well. Which brings me to my main point. Now I'm quite sure our professor is very well qualified to teach this course. He has ALOT of degrees and has even written a few scholarly books. Yet he himself said very straightforwardly that having degrees and such accolades does not give a teacher the right to impose any sort of thought pattern on any student in the class. It does not make the instructor superior to the student in any way just because the teacher is..well, teaching. And thus far, he was following his own advice pretty well. Until today.
Somehow, and I have no idea how, while discussing the Holocaust, he suddenly paused and started talking in very Islamic terms that what happened to the "Bani-Israel" would happen to the Muslims. In other words, he was saying that the Holocaust that the Jews went through is what Muslims will have to undergo in the future, that there will be a Muslim Holocaust. Now the professor is a pious man, he dresses modestly, and maintains a long beard which is indicative of his faith and never before has he tried to talk about it to the students. And, certainly, there ARE definitely signs of a Muslim Holocaust happening, I do not deny it, but what he did next really confused me. He started to quote Quranic verses to support what he had just said and stated that this was expressly for the Muslims in the class. Fair enough. But what I did not understand was how the recitation of Quranic verses and in any way linked to the Holocaust and Victor Frankl's narration of what he went through. I do not know if the rest of the class was perplexed as I was, but no one was really saying anything. So I decided to raise my hand and ask how any of this was relevant to what we had just read. I was really not expecting the poor reaction I got from the professor.
He responded by getting very worked up and saying that depending on the degree of my faith as a Muslim, it would vary in its relevancy. That people with high devotion and piety will find the link to the reading more relevant than maybe I would. First of all, this was insulting. I may not be as religious as the professor or even some of the hijab-wearing girls in class (whom I have respect for, rather than any sort of negative feelings), but how does that give him the right to say to me that becuase my faith may not be as strong, I may not care about there being a Muslim Holocaust as much. Furthermore, this is the same professor that vowed to not impose his own beliefs and thoughts in the classroom. So why and how do the recitation of Quranic verses help anyone else in the class except him? He would recite the Quranic verse and then translate it and look around the room to see if anyone else understood, repeatedly asking, "Anyone? Really? No one?" Does that not sort of imply that he is letting his own piety come in the way of his instruction, by expecting a few, even one student to know the translation of the Quran?
I guess he sensed my annoyance and probably found me rude, which is why he asked to speak to me after class. He spent 5 minutes telling me he couldn't answer my question properly because it would start off the debate on how many Muslims believe that the Holocaust is just a made up story and never really happened. Fair enough. Then he became defensive about quoting the Quranic verses and told me they were probably more relevant scientifically than any Marxist or feminist theory I may have learnt. Excuse me? Just because I questioned you in class about your teaching, that makes me a Marxist AND a feminist? No one has to make any apologies about quoting the Quran and I myself agree it holds alot of scientific value than plenty of other theoretical works but that is no reason to insult a student's views and theories.
We may not all be as good of Muslims as he is but what right does that give him to judge us, to judge me? This is just while studying the work of relatively secular Victor Frankl, what happens when we get to the more religiously charged al-Ghazali material? I was told this course was about learning of "the true, the good, and the beautiful". How is predicting a Muslim Holocaust and then telling a student it does not apply to her because she's not Muslim enough fit that description in any way at all?

I would presume a research statement is a property of a scholarly document. Assuming that there is an HTML page that is a scholarly document and that contains scientific hypotheses, you can use microdata today to mark such a page up with no problems, as far as I can tell. No single item would be both a scholarly document and a scientific hypothesis; instead you would mark them up, something like this: ...
A study of birds

Abstract

We look at birds and see if they have wings or lips.

Hypotheses

 We hypothesise that birds have wings. We base this on the circumstancial evidence that birds have wings according to the dictionary.

 We also consider lips. We presume that birds have lips. You may ask why we think that. We are just guessing.

 ...  This is a microdata document with three items. As JSON, this data looks like this: { "items": [ { "type": "http://swan.example.org/scholarly-doc", "properties": { "abstract": [ "We look at birds and see if they have\n wings or lips." ] } }, { "type": "http://example.net/ao/hypothesis", "properties": { "description": [ "We hypothesise that birds have\n wings." ], "reason": [ "We base this on the\n circumstancial evidence that birds have wings according to the\n dictionary." ] } }, { "type": "http://example.net/ao/hypothesis", "properties": { "description": [ "We presume \n that birds have lips." ], "reason": [ "We are just guessing." ] } } ] } (See http://goo.gl/OgF8C for a live view of this.) > I am using emerging standard vocabularies that have been developed for > separate purposes in a succinct, clear manner. IMO, that is the way in > which most of the people at the workshop would have assumed that support > for multiple itemtypes would work. I don't see any reason in this case that any one item would have multiple types, but maybe that's because I don't understand the vocabularies in question. I would be very interested in studying the vocabularies and the software that consumes them. Incidentally, note that you can't just take, say, an RDF vocabulary, or a Microformats vocabulary, and just use it in microdata directly. A microdata vocabulary has to define processing rules that are often not provided for RDF and Microformats vocabularies, and has to use the terms defined in the HTML specification to describe how the terms work. You can see examples of how to define vocabularies in the HTML standard: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/microdata.html#mdvocabs HTH, -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.

As I paw through my mohair fabrics to find the piece I will use for my next bear, I so enjoy seeing the colors and how they work with each other or even clash a bit. How can I use the flaming orange tipped piece? How can I use the red, the pink, the blue?
In my idea sessions for the bears I'll be making for the upcoming ONLINE Teddies Worldwide Holiday Bear Show, to which you are ALL invited, I've been dreaming in reds and golds and greens and twinkly ivory whites, and Christmas carols have been playing in my head. My bears are cut out, and the next task is to get my sewing machine humming. There's not much time until the show, happening November 20 and 21 (mark your calendars, and join the Crew's mailing list [use the box in the right-hand sidebar] to receive an e-mail reminder), so the fur has been flying here in the New Avenue Crew studio. But I can't reveal all the colors just yet!
*My borscht recipe is a simple one, and you can customize it to your tastes. Chop a bunch of the vegetables you like best (include some beets--they are required for borscht!). I use onion, celery, beets, carrots, mushrooms, zucchini and yellow squash, tomatoes, and green beans.
Saute onion and celery in a large pot in some coconut oil (a good fat) or butter over low to medium heat. When they are translucent or browned, whichever you prefer, add ground beef and brown. Then add homemade chicken or beef broth and your vegetables. I fill the pot with broth to just below the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for approximately 25 minutes (more or less depending on how done you like your vegetables).
Ladle hot soup into bowls and top with minced garlic and a dollop of sour cream (also very Ukrainian). When the soup has cooled a bit, you could also add some extra virgin olive oil for its rich taste and good nutrition. It's another good fat. Season to taste with sea salt. You could include some herbs while the soup is simmering, like dill (very Ukrainian) or thyme. Perhaps you would like to add freshly ground black pepper, too. Serve with some crusty bread, if you like. Enjoy!

Depending on what philosophy you subscribe to, the nature of time can be cyclical rather than unwinding in a straight line. If you do believe in the cyclical nature of time, then it should come as no surprise to see that which was old become new again.
At CES 2018, we checked out some really cool retro gear from Retrobit, designed to use new technology to breath life into your old technology. In other words, cool new consoles to play your old cartridge games. While the concept isn't new, these devices are either new or upgraded versions of existing products.
But there's more than just cool ways to play your old NES games. The gallery has collectibles, retro and modern inspired, along with cool new hardware based on cool old tech. Check out the slides to have a taste of the sweet retro mana we found in the desert of Nevada.
Seth Macy is a retro kind of guy but only because he's so old he remembers when it was all new. Follow him on Twitter @sethmacy.

Can 2012 deliver the world's first social enterprise square mile?
New Olympic contract wins could start a trend, says SEL's Allison Ogden-Newton
2012 starts with a bang as news breaks that social enterprise, Leisure Trust GLL, has won the landmark contract to manage the London Aquatics Centre and the Multi Use Centre (Handball Arena), whilst the development agency Renaisi, in partnership with Balfour Beatty and charity Groundwork, gets the contract to run the Olympic Park. These bids will deliver jobs and community regeneration and much more through entrepreneurialism that understands the importance of enhancing social value. There is a vision at work here and it is to make good on the promises of the legacy by supporting the most audacious community development any games has ever undertaken through the canny management of the site's assets.
That might sound like hype, but a closer look at the successful tenders show some very clever, ethically-driven plans to create jobs; giving local people a real stake in the facilities the games leave behind.
I spoke to Rob Pearce, Director at Renaisi, who told me that "We argued strongly that you will only get a great park if you create and involve successful neighbors and unless you create a specific mechanism, like a social enterprise, with that purpose in mind a park that inspires would be hard to achieve."
The community interest company "Our Parklife" that got the green light from the Olympic Park Legacy Company brings together co-curators Balfour Beatty, Renaisi and Groundwork. It will guarantee that jobs are created for local people and will ensure that a minimum of 50% of the supply chain contracts go to local small and medium-sized enterprises. It sets a clear vision for local integration and, like the GLL bid, creates a framework for a sustainable park where local communities will see real benefits.
GLL is another success story, and this latest landmark contract will mean a great deal to others in the social enterprise world given their strong social enterprise supply chain. Mark Sesnan, GLL's managing director told me they will "make a real difference", by working with other social enterprises. For example, GLL plan to work closely with transport specialists Hackney Community Transport (HCT), as well as London Recycling Network who have developed innovative recycling in East London and local social housing agencies. This will ensure that GLL's success supports other community based partners for a socially sustainable future.
HCT has been providing transport on the Olympic site for the last four years and its managing director Dai Powell told me he was delighted with today's news, adding: "When you look at the confidence public bodies and the public themselves are showing in social enterprises you realise that now is our time."
These latest contracts and other proposals, such as Business In The Communities plans to turn the 2012 Olympics Media Centre into a social enterprise business hub, all add up to the possibility of the world's first social enterprise square mile, set in London's Olympic park, post 2012.
I am sure the OPLC wants to make sure we don't get a games like Atlanta in 1996, where jobs failed to materialize, or Sydney in 2000 where the Olympic Park, set 18 miles outside the city, couldn't inspire a community to grow up around it and remains isolated and in a state of decline. Or, worse yet, Athens: where a failure to plan for any legacy missed every trick in the book with many of the facilities mothballed and jobs nowhere to be found.
It is fortunate that the 2012 games are set in the city that is acknowledged worldwide as the lead for social enterprise development. By choosing to back social enterprises based in London which innovate in regeneration, environmentalism and social impact, the OPLC has invested in a vision where a great games is just the starting gun ahead of the main event: a sustainable community where everyone is a winner.
Allison Ogden-Newton is chief executive of Social Enterprise London.

Gold Country Trails - Unifying the Trails Community
About this time last year, I wrote a blog post about my then new singlepseed. One year later, I find myself drawn more than ever to this bike. Out of my collection of rigs, it is certainly my favorite.
How did this happen? How did a bike which delivers one gear, exponentially more pain on climbs, and zero rear suspension become my first choice for fun?
There are a number of reasons, some of which are easier to understand for those who already attend the Church of One True Cog:
SIMPLICITY: The shifting system of modern bikes is precise. It is also heavy, complex, expensive and prone to misfire and even self destruction in mud and weather. I choose to ride this bike frequently in the colder months partly because of its simplicity. Hose it off, wipe it down and hang it up.
CHALLENGE: This is the part that non-singlespeeders find most confusing. They shake their heads as they see us standing up, grunting away at climbs on which they can gear down and ascend with relative ease. But here is the thing: I don't want "relative ease". Twenty years into this mountain bike thing, I look for different experiences, including hard ones that test my stamina and determination. I already know that my uber plush bike can zip down rock gardens with ease. Question is: how can I perform without all this technology?
WEIGHT: This point is easiest to understand: the bike is six pounds lighter than my full suspension pig.
TRAINING: When I compare my times on my usual local loops, the singlespeed almost always bring me in faster. Why? Because you have to go faster/work harder on climbs, there is no choice. See aforementioned Challenge section.
My singlespeed does not work well for all rides, I would never take it to Grouse Ridge, nor would I choose it for rides with exceptionally steep, prolonged climbs. But this bike has found a place on my local trails. And in my heart.
See article from last year:

We live in a world of labels. The wrong one can be devastating, but a good label can get across a complicated idea, make it easier to understand and talk about. Here are some of the labels I think about all the time.
Cerebral Palsy
Although it sounds fancy, this label is not a medical term or a diagnosis. Chloe's official diagnosis is "static encephalopathy with spastic quadriplegia and athetosis." Which means she has a brain injury that affects her muscles, and a simple way of saying that is cerebral palsy. I say sa-REE-bral, but some people say SER-bral. I can't figure out if this is a regional thing or what.
Our go-to word. Disabled can be seen as problematic for its negative quality (not-able), and yeah, some conditions could be more accurately described as differently abled rather than not abled. But I think in Chloe's case, it is both accurate and useful. Let's face it, Chloe is unable to walk. And when we're faced with stairs or mud or snow or a bumpy field, it's a pretty big hindrance.
Disabled often gets replaced with terrible euphemisms, because people who are uncomfortable with disability try to hide it behind sentimental or vague terms. This is especially true when it comes to kids. The worst one I've heard is extra-exceptional. As in "I just love working with extra-exceptional kids!" When a therapist said that to me, I had to fight the dual urges to laugh in her face and walk out of the room. I won't have a grammar-geek fest over how ridiculous it is to modify the word exceptional with an adverb like extra, but if you would like to do that, here is the definition of exceptional.
Special Needs
A euphemism for disabled. Not as bad as extra-exceptional, but like that term, special needs has an element of compensatory sentimentality, which makes it sound patronizing. Special needs and its cousin, special ed, get used pejoratively all the time. Once, another mom in a therapy waiting room woman told me that she homeschools her two children (both on the autism spectrum) because "special ed teachers are usually special ed themselves." She probably didn't realize that with her obnoxious insult to teachers, she was also insulting her own kids.
Kathy Snow of disabiltiyisnatural.com doesn't like this term, pointing out that the "special" needs of people with disabilities are just variations on the tools that we all need to make it through life. Which is a good point. And disability is natural, not special, and it should be seen that way. However, when your kid is the only one in her the school who uses a wheelchair and can't speak, her needs are pretty damn special for the people who have to meet them.
Totally out of style these days, but, after looking up its history on a very entertaining Snopes.com article, I now have a special place in my heart for the word handicapped. Forget about the whole "handicapped came from a time when disabled people had to beg in the streets" myth. Basically, the horse-racing version of this word is the original: as Snopes puts it, the word has always been "a term for leveling out the field by making the stronger contestant bear a penalty." So I would be proud to call Chloe handicapped, since it implies that without her physical limitations, she'd be too awesome for this world.
Also, is it just me or is handicapped parking still the only thing that sounds right? I sometimes try to say disabled parking, but it sounds so awkward.
When Chloe was a baby, I realized I needed a new label in my life—a term to describe other people's kids, the ones that weren't disabled. As in, "you don't understand because your kid is…" I came up with regular, which I kind of liked because it implies a boring, everyday quality. But that does that mean Chloe is irregular? Like the cheap clothes you get at TJ Maxx? Then I discovered what other people use, and it's perfect: typical.
I love this word, because its opposite, atypical, is not an insult. Atypical is not abnormal or irregular; it's interesting, even refreshing for those of us who enjoy variety in life. And although typical is not a negative word, you can say it with a tone of scorn that's really satisfying when you're feeling resentful. "Your seven-year-old just read all the Harry Potter books in her spare time between soccer and gymnastics? Typical."
Mentally retarded
This one is still used as a diagnosis, though that is changing as it gets a reputation as "the R word." It will hopefully soon be completely replaced with "intellectual disability" so that the medical diagnosis will no longer share a term with a stupid insult. But the problem with retarded is not inherent in the word. Before we had retarded, we had idiot and moron, both words that began as descriptions of a disability and turned into pejoratives. This happens because we live in a world where people whose brains function differently are not usually respected and valued. And as long as this is the case, suggesting that someone is anything other than neuro-typical will continue to be an insult. But, luckily, it should be a little more difficult for middle school kids to use the term "intellectually disabled" when referring to someone they don't like.
I suspect this label is overused. For example, I don't think Chloe has an intellectual disability, but she's probably been labeled that. People are quick to generalize about abilities and disabilities. Chloe can't speak, a very specific physical disability. Which means she can't tell you what she's thinking. Which means that many people assume the answer to "what is she thinking?" is "not very much." How many other people labeled intellectually disabled actually have very specific disabilities (physical, sensory, expressive) that hide their intellectual abilities from the world?
An intellectual disability isn't a devastating thing–people with this type of disability can have happy and productive lives. But being mislabeled this way is like being strapped into a wheelchair you don't actually need.
No one should be reduced to a single word. Chloe is much more than disabled, much more than a kid with CP. But when I need to explain what is exceptional and atypical about our lives, I need these labels. I choose them carefully and probably overthink them sometimes, but they get the job done.

Wow! We had so many participants with our last challenge! I was so excited to see everyone's cards and different styles of creativity coming out! It's our second Fab Friday challenge and this week is a color challenge! I love color challenges because it usually pushes me to mix up colors I don't normally use in my stamping.
I didn't intend on this becoming a sympathy card but it just morphed into that... I love the colors, not too boring but not too bright. Perfect for the sentiment!
I thought the Sahara Sand looked a bit boring so I added a versa mark stamped image as a "background". I even embossed it, but it's very hard to see that in the photograph!
I hope you enjoy the 2nd challenge we have for you! I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!http://fabfridaystampinchallenge.blogspot.com/

Published at Thursday, January 03rd, 2019 - 09:36:10 AM. Furniture. By Colleen J Booker.
Metal patio furniture is often a more economical choice compared to hard wood type especially for people who want the stability of wood but wouldnt want to spend too much. Metal furniture is also great for people that want furniture that has low maintenance costs because most metal furniture doesnt require the kind of maintenance that wooden furniture does. There are three main types of metal patio furniture that you can purchase. They are wrought iron, aluminum and tubular metal. Wrought iron is probably one of the most expensive types in the range. Wrought iron furniture is incredibly popular because its stylish and adds a very classic feel to a patio but its also popular because of its durability. Wrought iron furniture is heavy and requires little upkeep. For instance, just a simple new coat of paint every year or so will keep wrought iron furniture looking beautiful for years. Furthermore, wrought iron patio furniture is sturdy so that it can be comfortable and safe for people of all sizes. It is also heavy which is good in that it wont be blown away in strong winds but not to a point that it is too difficult to move.
Furniture is shipped several different ways when you purchase it online and when you buy online it is important to read on the website how the product is being shipped so that you are prepared at the time of delivery to receive your new furniture. Most sites are pretty good about sharing this information to their customers so that they will have an idea of how the furniture is coming and who will need to be home to receive it when it comes. Below are the three common ways furniture is shipped when you purchase it online. These are common services used by many online retailers and is used typically for items that are RTA (Ready to Assemble) furniture. [More about this later.] This packaging is small enough that one person can easily manage it and the retailer will usually provide you a tracking number that you can use online to track your package for the date of delivery. The delivery driver will usually bring it to your door but if you live in an large apartment complex or on a second floor they usually deliver to a central location. These delivery drivers usually run the same routes every day and typically will come with the delivery around the same time frames of the usual deliveries they do in that area. There isnt a way to schedule a delivery time with this type of delivery as these companies are just too large with too many packages going through their systems to be able to set up timed deliveries so it is best to be able to have someone home to receive delivery on the day they specify or if you know your delivery driver and you live in a safe area where packages can be left at your door you can always leave a note to leave your package.

Altran Technologies: Q3 15 conference call feedback: working for turnaround in GermanyBUY, Fair Value EUR13 (+16%)
We reiterate our Buy rating following the conference call held yesterday. We shave our adj. EPS ests. by 1% and by 0.1ppt our adj. EBIT margin forecasts, as we believe there are uncertainties on the timing to reach breakeven in Germany (H2 15 or only Q4 15). Overall, except unsurprisingly for Germany, we consider Altran is working hard for turnaround in that country while trends are positive almost everywhere else. The next positive catalyst will be the Investor Day on 17th November, for which we expect ambitious operating margin targets for 2020 (BG est.: 12.9% at constant scope).

I've treated myself to a few bits of makeup from blog sales in the past couple of weeks... this is what I've been buying.
(L-R) Benefit That Gal brightening face primer, Bobbi Brown lipstick in 'Pale Pink', Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in 'Hot Gossip', NYX lipstick in 'Orange Soda' and Benefit Powder Puff sparkling eye powder.
I think blog sales are a fab idea, because for the seller, it's a quick and easy way of getting rid of their unwanted bits and giving them to good homes, and for the buyer, it's a way of trying out new products and colours without paying full price from a shop.
That Gal is a pink peach cream. It is a primer, so you can apply it to the face before your makeup as a base. I also find it looks great when worn on its own, it gives a lovely dewy effect on the skin, which is really in fashion at the moment. Another use for this is as a highlighter, it's subtle, but very pretty.
I was so happy when I saw this for sale, as I had recently run out, and I was really missing it. It's one of my must have products, which I will continue to buy again and again.
Here I have blended it into my skin (without flash)
(with flash)
Bobbi Brown Pale Pink Lip Color
Mac 'Hot Gossip'
NYX 'Orange Soda'
Lipstick swatches (without flash)
1. Pale Pink
2. Hot Gossip
3. Orange Soda
(with flash)
I love all three of these lipsticks.
The Bobbi Brown one suits me the most, its a lovely browny pink colour and seems to really suit my skintone.
The Mac one is my favourite consistancy, it's really creamy and lasts the longest without needing a touch up. The colour is quite a reddy pink, especially compared to what I would usually wear, but seeing as though I'm not brave enough to go for full on red lips, this is a good compromise for me!
Finally, the NYX lipstick is basically a coral toned nude. I think I would suit this better when I have a tan, although worn lightly with vasaline or lipgloss ontop, it's really nice.
This Benefit eye powder was a bit of an impulse buy. I rarely wear eyeshadows, but I really liked the look of the colour of this, and I've never been disappointed by Benefit products, so I thought I would give it a go... I'm glad I did. It's gorgeous!
As you can see, it's really, really sparkly, and will look great for a night out.
(This picture was taken with the flash on)
Have you got any of these products?
Or have you had any bargains from blog sales?

I think I need to keep my eyes peeled for these blog sales - I've never bought from one, but it seems like a good idea.ReplyDelete
Noticed you were following me, so thought I'd come & check you out :)
