With housing prices becoming increasingly unaffordable, particularly in capital cities, more families are living in smaller homes. Making the most of a small home is essential if you don't want to live in a cluttered chaotic mess.
Here are some tips for making the most of your small home. From furnishings, colour, design, layout and decoration; through to storage, organisation and function.
Keep less stuff
It is so obvious, but over time it is easy to accumulate mountains of everyday stuff that you really don't need or use. Make it a habit to regularly go through your home and declutter and simplify.
Be smart with storage
Storage for small homes can make or break its livability. A small home with lots of smart storage can feel much more manageable to live in day-to-day than even a large home with little storage space.
Fit in extra storage where ever you can. Behind doors, in corners, under beds or around door frames. Choose furniture that doubles as a storage option. Don't waste small spaces!
Choose multipurpose furniture
There are some truly amazing pieces of multipurpose furniture out there if you've got the budget for it, but even on a more modest budget you can make the most of your small space by choosing furniture with multiple uses. Choose side tables with storage, make the most of the space around the TV for shelving or built-in storage, consider beds with drawers or lift up storage areas.
Check out some of the other great multipurpose furniture I've found on my Pinterest below.

Make use of mirrors and glass
Mirrors are a great way to give the illusion of more space. Use them in strategic positions around your home to reflect window outlooks, open spaces and hallways. Glass is also fantastic for keeping light bouncing around the room and giving the impression of more space.
Don't fill your space with small furniture
A small space doesn't need to equal small furniture. Multiple small pieces of furniture can actually make a space look smaller than a single streamlined piece.
Choose large room rugs and position them so they overlap with furniture. Lower furniture can also give the impression of more space.
Look up
Don't forget to make the most of vertical wall space. You can add storage with shelving and character with artworks or photos.

Don't forget the corners
Every room has four corners… make sure you use them! Little indents in hallways and odd shaped rooms can also make the perfect space for added storage.
Don't try to give yourself more floor space by pushing all your furniture to the edges of the room. People think this makes the room feel bigger but often it makes it feel less homely and welcoming. .
Streamline & minimise
Streamlined furniture and window dressings can give the impression of space and reduce the feeling of clutter. Blinds are usually better than curtains in small living areas. Simple streamlined bedroom furniture can give you much more floor space to work with.
Think outside the box
Rooms don't always have to be used for what they were originally intended. Consider combining children in a single room and using the other room as a play area. If you have a laundry room but really need a study space, you could convert it and add your laundry into the kitchen or a linen cupboard. Think outside the square when looking at room purposes.
Keep it light and bright
Use a consistent colour scheme throughout your home, particularly for walls and floors. If rooms flow into each other colour wise, they will feel bigger. Choose light colours for walls and avoid heavy, dark carpeting or window furnishings.

Behold, I am doing a new thing
This scene caught my eye the other night as I was driving home.
Rain had poured down much of the afternoon leaving the horse farms bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
Just past this was a section of busted up fence and the once-green tree that had crushed it in a previous squall.
And then there was this scene …
The sunbathed beauty that came in the wake of the storm had left the countryside glowing a bright green and the flowers bursting with blooms and life.
Isaiah 43:18-19 immediately came to mind.
It felt a bit like a rainbow moment. A sort of promise that even in the wake of a terribly strong storm, God can bring tremendous beauty. He can bring such healing and light that it's almost brilliantly blinding.
I don't know about you, but there are moments and seasons in the past few years that have felt like the worst of storms in my world.
You may be counted among those facing rising waters in the south or raging fires in the west or your own more private storms and battles.
May you find encouragement in knowing that God's desire is for redemption. May you find Him doing a new thing right smack in the middle of where a mere moment before you only saw destruction and devastation.
May you see this new thing even today and see His healing more clearly in the light of a new day.
Have a blessed Sunday, friends!

Is It Convicting Rather Than Condemning?
Do I Sense God's Peace About It?
We have been considering the important question, how can we know whether it is God's voice that is heard?
As we have discussed, sometimes we hear things in our minds or our spirits. Sometimes others tell us that what they say is from God. The question is, whenever either of those things happen, how can we know that what we hear within ourselves or from others is really and truly from God? That is so very important so we can be confident we are doing God's will and not our own will or someone else's will, or, even worse, the devil's will.
In this series of messages, we have so far considered four questions to ask to determine if what is heard or felt is from God. Does what is heard or felt agree with the Bible? Does it make me and you and us more like Christ? Does this, our church family, confirm it? And is it consistent with how God has shaped me - shaped me with spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experience?
In this message - the third in this three-part series - two more questions. And remember the challenge. All six questions - the four just mentioned and the two to be discussed in this message - have to be answered in the affirmative to determine for sure whether what is heard or felt is from God.
The two questions for today. Is it convicting, as in something that prods us to positive action, rather than condemning, as in attacking our value? And do I sense God's peace about it?
There is one more test that will close this message, but first, is what is heard or felt or said convicting or condemning?
Again, convicting is something that prods us to positive action. It might not be easy to be convicted. It might cause us discomfort to have to follow through with the action called for. But the purpose is positive.
An example is found Revelation 3.
In chapters 2 and 3 of Revelation, Jesus directed the apostle John to write certain things to seven important early churches.
In most cases, the things included both positive and negative things.
The positives included to Ephesus, their patient endurance. To Smyrna, their facing of tribulation, which does not sound positive, but sometimes suffering is a sign of the Lord's confidence in a person's or a congregation's spiritual strength. To Pergamum, even in times of trial, their faithfulness to Jesus. To Thyatira, their patient endurance and their love, faith, and service. To Philadelphia, all that was said was positive, including their keeping of the Lord's name.
The negatives included to Ephesus. their love for God had been abandoned. They were not as excited about Jesus as they once were. To Smyrna, Jesus challenged the Christians there to prepare for greater hardships so they would be able to survive in the future. To Pergamum, some of the Christians there had gone to false teachings. To Thyatira, they were allowing a false prophetess - a false teacher - to remain in the congregation. To Sardis, there was nothing but bad words for that congregation. They were dead spiritually. Their only hope was to awake.
Jesus, through John, had messages for Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia. And Laodicea. To the members of that church, there were also only negative words spoken. The reason is they were lukewarm spiritually. That was because they were successful enough they did not consider themselves to be in need of Jesus. However, being neither hot nor cold, the Lord said He would spew them out of His mouth.
That was a harsh message for the Laodiceans. It is a harsh message that we, even today, want to avoid being said to or about us. Also harsh were the negative messages said to most of the other early churches on the list.
But listen to verse 19 of Revelation 3. "Those whom I love, I reprove." I reprimand or scold. Those whom I love, I reprove "and chasten." Chasten means to discipline. Why? Not to condemn those who are scolded and disciplined. Not to beat them down to discouragement. But to inspire them to repent of what is being done wrong so they can grow into the state of receiving more and more positive comments from the Lord.
Repentance is what the Lord wants. Verse 20 is a familiar one. "Behold," Jesus said, "I stand at the door and knock." He does that even with scolding. His scolding is an attempt to get the attention of the one being reprimanded. "If anyone hears My voice and opens the door [everyone who will listen to and respond to the corrections of Jesus] I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me."
The point is that Jesus will scold and discipline. But not for the purpose of condemning us or destroying us. Here is an explanation of condemning. It is to declare a person doomed. Unfit for further use. The result is like a huge stone falling on a house. The house is crushed and devastated, once and for all.
That is not what God is about. Instead, His purpose is to convict us. To convince us that we are able to have a deeper, pure relationship with Him. Convinced to the point we will, with His help, strive for such a relationship.
Which means that if what we hear or feel threatens to discourage us - to depress us away from serving the Lord - it is not from God.
I think I am comfortable sharing this. About three-and-a-half years ago, I experienced a season when just about every Saturday night a thought came to me and settled in my mind. The thought was in the form of questions. Who do you think you are speaking about Jesus every Sunday? What makes you think you have the right or the authority or worthy to do what you do? Who do you think you are?
Those questions were very disturbing. Guess what I finally realized. They were not from God. That, by the way, is not to pretend I am worthy of the privilege of speaking about Jesus. I dare say no one is worthy because compared to the Lord, at least I fall way short of what is ideal, but the thought I dealt with was not from God because it was a discouragement. It was a condemning thought rather than something that could inspire me to greater spiritual growth.
That thought - those questions - fortunately happened for only a season. I am over that now, which fits something the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:1. "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
That verse does not mean any of us is perfect. However, as long as we live, there are ways we can grow. Relating that to the earlier review of comments made to the early Christian churches, we need to constantly work on staying excited about Jesus and being prepared for hardships and avoiding false teachings.
We need to keep growing because, compared to Jesus, none of us is or, this side of Heaven, will be, perfect. But again the word "convicting." The Lord does not want to condemn us. He does not want us to be so discouraged we will not try anymore. He wants to convict us of the need and the ability, through Him, to grow and be better and closer to Him.
If what you hear or feel condemns, it is not from God. Therefore, do not believe it. Do not follow it. Have nothing to do with it.
If, however, what you hear or feel encourages you to be excited about growing in your faith, it is from God. Do believe that and follow it and obey it.
How can we know whether it is God's voice that is heard? It is if what is heard or felt agrees with the Bible and make us more like Christ. If this, our church family, confirms it and it is consistent with how God has shaped us with spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experience. If is it convicting, as in something that prods us to positive action, rather than condemning, as in attacking our value. And do I sense God's peace about it?
Two passages for this sixth test.
I Corinthians 14:33. This, too, was written by the apostle Paul. He wrote, "For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace."
To put this into its proper context, Paul is addressing how worship services are to be conducted. As he added in verse 40, his point is that worship is to be done "decently and in order."
That is the context, but I think it applies as well when determining whether what is heard or felt is from God. Taken negatively, does it interfere with the teachings of the Bible? If so, there is confusion, which is not from God. Does it interfere with proper Christian living? If so, it is not decent, which is not from God. Does it interfere with how God made you? If so, it is not orderly, which is not from God. Does it interfere with peace within a congregation? This does not apply to when discipline must be instilled. This refers to intentional conflict within a congregation. If what is heard or felt interferes with peace, there is confusion, which is not from God.
So, what should a congregation be like? Philippians 4:8 provides a list. It is a list of what we are to think about. This applies to the entire congregation, made up of each member of a congregation thinking about these things.
"Brethren [fellow people of God] whatever is true [whatever will not let us down, such as the word of God], whatever is honorable [whatever is dignified, such as being serious about the Christian faith], whatever is just [whatever promotes doing for others and for God what others and God deserve], whatever is pure [whatever is morally clean, mentally and physically], whatever is lovely [whatever helps develop kindness], whatever is gracious [whatever is fit for God to hear and see], if there is any excellence [anything that fits the purpose of serving God], if there is anything worthy of praise [anything spiritual that is worthy of enthusiastic approval], think about these things."
There is Christian writer who shares something that happened when he was a boy. He and his friends, along with his dad, went to a video store to rent a movie. They picked one they thought was cool.
They got home and started watching the movie. Five minutes into it, his dad got up, ejected the movie, and put it back in the case. He said, "Kids, I am sorry, but we are not going to watch this movie. It has too many curse words in it. As you know, I do not use those words, and I do not want you to use those words. If we had a guest in our house talking like that, I would ask him to change his tone or leave. I thought by the rating on the video it would not be this bad, but I was wrong. We will take it back tomorrow and find another movie."
The Christian writer reports that at the time, he was totally furious with his dad. They had watched five minutes of the movie. The boy was being entertained.
Now, though, as he looks back, he realizes his dad was trying to guard the thoughts of his son and his son's friends - and even his own thoughts.
Think of things that are good and wholesome and positive and helpful, the point being that if what is heard or felt encourages each of the things on the list in Philippians, it is from God because those things are approved by God.
The rewards of each of those things? Verses 6 and 7. No anxiety, which brings peace - the peace of God - a spiritual peace - to our hearts and minds.
Again, how can we know whether it is God's voice that is heard or felt? The questions to ask. Does it agree with the Bible? Does it make us more like Christ? Does this, our church family, confirm it? Is it consistent with how God has shaped me? Is it convicting, as in something that prods me to positive action, rather than condemning, as in attacking my value ? And do I sense God's peace about it?
All of which can be summarized in one more passage.
Mark 12:30-31. Jesus was asked which of God's many commandments was the greatest. Here is His response. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." In other words, you shall love God with everything you are and do and think - with every fiber of your being. "And you shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Those teachings agree with the Bible. Loving God and others makes us more like Christ. All of us at least should agree with those two statements, so we can all confirm that anything that promotes love for God and for others is from God. God has shaped each of us to love Him and others. Both statements should convict us to live well. Love for God and for others will hopefully give us at least spiritual peace.
Whenever any of us hears or feels something, we can know if it is from God. It can be tested using those questions. When someone else tells us something they claim is from God, it can be tested. Let's test everything that is heard and felt so we can be confident that what we follow is God's will.
Let's say them together.
Does it agree with the Bible?
Does it make us more like Christ?
Does our church family confirm it?
Is it consistent with how God has shaped me?
Is it convicting rather than condemning?
Do I sense God's peace about it?
If not, it is not from God. Do not believe it. Do not follow it. Have nothing to do with it.
If, however, what you hear or feel leads to affirmative answers to those questions, do believe it and follow it and obey it.
Today's closing song alludes to the peace that comes from knowing the voice of God. The joy of being able to obey God's voice when we know it is Him we are hearing or feeling. It is Come, Holy Spirit, Still My Heart.
Come, Holy Spirit! Still my heart
With gentleness divine.
Indwelling peace You can impart;
O make that blessing mine!
Give me a heart of calm repose
Amid the world's loud roar,
A life that like a river flows
Along a peaceful shore!
Above these scenes of storm and strife
There spreads a region fair;
Help me to live that higher life,
And breathe the Heavenly air.
Come, Holy Spirit! Breathe that peace,
That victory make me win;
Then shall my soul its conflict cease,
And find a heaven within.
Lord, thank You for talking to us in our minds and/or feelings and/or through others - and thank You for giving us questions to ask to make sure who we are hearing and/or feeling is You. Help us to test everything to make sure we are listening to You. When we are, help us to obey. Amen.

Village Industries Play an Important Role in Eradicating UnemploymentAt a time when our country was plagued by unemployment problem, village industries came a long way in solving the problem to a great extent by creating employment among rural people, engaging them in various manufacturing activities. State Governments have also played a significant role in helping for the promotion of the manufacturing units and inspiring villagers to engage themselves in those activities by offering them incentives and welfare benefits. Benefits of village Industries There are many positive aspects of village industries which can be mentioned as follows: Solving to a great extent the unemployment problem and restricting the migration of rural people to urban areas By reducing the total dependence of the villagers upon agriculture Through promoting creativity and arts while unearthing promising talents from the rural areas Maintaining the quality of products so that they are of international standards and thereby increasing exports By avoiding the clutches of money lenders who had always tried to exploit the poor people of rural areas Building self confidence and enhancing the growth of self inspiration Products Among the main produce of the village industries are textile, processed food items, leather goods and condiments and spices. The textile products namely khadi and silk are some items that have earned international fame for their quality and durability. Footwear, bags and other fancy items made of quality leather have drawn attention to customers in India as well as abroad. Urban citizens have a great favor for spices, jams, pickles and other condiments which are made of organic ingredients and are approved as per health standards. Handicrafts produced by the village industries find their way to millions of homes in urban cities as well as to other countries. Marketing In order to showcase the efficiency, purpose and significant contribution towards Indian economy, the products of these village industries need to be marketed in the proper direction. While Governments have come forward in helping those engaged in the cottage industries through offering them insurance and other protections, some private marketing agencies have a lot of contribution towards promoting these products. There has been a constant endeavor by these marketing agencies to follow a bottom line marketing policy through promoting eco friendly products while incorporating sustainability in the process. It is through purposeful promotion of village produce that artisans in rural areas are becoming motivated and inspired to enhance the quality of products, which enables them to compete with others in the national and international niche.... read more

Meghalaya, the land of indigenous productsTucked away in the mountainous terrains of the North-Eastern region of India is the state of Meghalaya, commonly referred to as the 'Abode of Clouds', and also known as 'The Scotland of The East' since the colonial periods. Its scenic beauty and majestic hills topped with the lush green undergrowth has made this hill state an undiscovered paradise. Given the technicalities of the ground situation, small businesses have sprung up. We can see a diversified consumption of the local resources and the home-made products produced are marketed effectively to fit the needs to the local populous. Some of the homemade products of these indigenous businesses include: * Turmeric: Turmeric is forming the base for flavor and color in the Indian dishes is widely cultivated among the locals of Meghalaya. Being a Tropical herb it is well suited to the loamy soils and rain-fed climatic conditions prevalent in this state. After boiling the turmeric rhizomes they are left to dry in the sun for a few days until it thoroughly attains a bright orange-yellowish color. The powder is then packed sealed and sold at the local bazaar in Shillong the capital. * Chili Flakes: This is another spice that is mostly used as a substitute for chili powder in the traditional delicacies of the people of Meghalaya. In these gardens most also grow chili for the more conventional green chili dietary requirements and some also choose make dried red chili for various dishes and some also fancy the occasional chili flakes along with their meals. This is done by manually grinding the chilies until they turn to flakes. * Pickles: Pickles form the sides of most north-eastern dishes, with numerous kinds of pickles being made in the eastern states. Meghalaya is the land of some of the eminent pickles in the northeast such as the Bamboo Shoot Pickle, the Chili Pickle, Jackfruit Pickle, and with regards to the considerable non-vegetarian diet of the north-eastern people. Home made products and marketing have had their significances in serving the needs of the people of Meghalaya as insignificant as they may seem. These products have been developed with traditionally, safe, hygienic and organic techniques, these of which seem to have become less prevalent in industrially made products that we know of today, and as little as most know or are aware of these home made products, their wonders to the makings of dishes and delicacies need to be promoted throughout the... read more

Ross Fretten was fired from The Apprentice last night (November 1).
But he doesn't think Lord Sugar made the right decision and is standing by claims that he was not at all responsible for the failure of yesterday's task.
During an exclusive interview with Digital Spy, the axed candidate insisted the real reason he was dropped from the show is because the business guru didn't think they were compatible partners.
"I should not have been fired," he said. "However, I knew from episode two that we were not compatible business partners and I believe Lord Sugar came to that same conclusion.
"So why waste each other's time?"
Explaining what was at the centre of their differences, Ross suggested they came from "different worlds".
He continued: "If you look back at the history of The Apprentice, Lord Sugar likes to invest in businesses that he has experience in – with the exception of the beauty clinic.
"Lord Sugar comes from a hardware background. I'm from the world of new media. He doesn't know that industry and I don't know his. He has worked in the tech industry of course, but he's never been involved in the launch of an app or continual digital service. So I think my business plan put him on the back foot immediately.
"I have a lot of respect for Lord Sugar but there are points where we just didn't compute. He is driven by gut [instinct], which works well for him, but I'm more about details which can frustrate him. We do have a positive relationship though and I think he respects me."
Looking back at his time on the show, Ross admitted that he does have some regrets.
The 29-year-old from Essex suggested he should have played up to the cameras more to stay in the competition.
"I could have leaned into the fact it was a TV show a bit more and just run with it," he added. "Why be so serious all the time?
"It was obvious that a few of the other candidates knew they were on a reality show – without saying any specific names. I guess we will see over the next few weeks once people leave the process whether they just want to be reality stars.
"With me, I've already started focusing on the business plan I would have been working with Lord Sugar on."
"It will be interesting to see how many of the other candidates forget about their business plans once they leave the show..."
The Apprentice is on BBC One, Wednesdays at 9pm.

If a person were to do an internet search of Newfoundland, they would find more websites devoted to the dog breed than to the quaint, relatively untamed Canadian province of Newfoundland/Labrador. Newfoundland isn't as well-known to travelers as Quebec or Ontario or some of the other bigger provinces, but its charm and character won't disappoint.
While Labrador is sparsely populated and part of the mainland, most of the province's population of 530,000 resides on the island of Newfoundland. In years past, the waters were fished by the British during the summer months. The Brits would return home in the winter, but as time went by some of them decided to stay and tough out the cold.
Eventually, more of them started staying and the capital city of St. John's began to develop and grow and now houses 40% of the population. As Newfoundland further developed, smaller fishing villages with brightly colored clapboard houses began to spring up along the rugged coastline.
Today, Newfoundland is full of quaint seaport villages and some of the friendliest and most welcoming folks a visitor to this land of enchantment will ever find. Read on to find out what you might be missing.
St. John's
St. John's is the oldest and most easterly town in North America. It offers all the charm of a small town along with the sophistication and modern conveniences of a larger city.
The city is a maze of narrow crisscrossing streets which were originally carved out by horse-drawn carriages. Brightly colored homes known as jellybean row houses line the steep rocky hills overlooking the Atlantic, precariously perched as though a huge wave might carry them out to sea at any moment.
Quidi Vidi is a small fishing village which is actually a part of St. John's and is considered a city within a city. Things have not changed much over the years and the experience is like stepping back into time.
To say the best seafood on the planet can be found in St. John's would be a gross understatement. If it's seafood related, the people here know how to whip it into a gastronomical delight beyond description. They have survived on seafood since the island's early settlement days, and simply due to their location, they still do. Chances are whatever meal is served was still in the ocean an hour or two before it was cooked. Many award-winning chefs are bringing local seafood and foraged/hunted game to new levels.
The streets of St. John's are lined with lively clubs, cafes, art museums, boutiques, and galleries where local artisans have their works for sale. Live music is never a problem to find and theater groups are quite active. George Street is the place to be. Every year an annual five-day George Street Festival is held with almost non-stop live music, beer drinking, dancing, eating, and a flat-out great time. The entire city turns out.
Parks and Historic Sites
There are several popular nature parks which are nothing short of amazing. At Torrent River Nature Park located at Hawke's Bay, there is an underwater observation window for watching wild salmon as they fight their way upstream to spawn.
Not far away from Torrent River is Port au Choix National Historic Site where for thousands of years four indigenous tribes fished the surrounding waters. It's easy to imagine how life must have been for them prior to the island being modernized.
Gros Morne National Park is the most popular attraction of all. It's a glacier-carved fjord with 2000 foot walls on either side and its beauty is beyond measure. Boat tours are available and they are highly recommended.
L'Anse Aux Meadows National Historic Site is home to the first European settlement formed by Vikings from Norway and Greenland. This is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Terra Nova National Park is where you will find marine exhibits including an aquarium with a touch tank. There are miles and miles of gorgeous hiking trails and the park runs along the coast so there are lots of places to walk along the beaches and go exploring. There is also a very good chance of spotting bald eagles swooping down on their prey as the park is a nesting grounds for them.
Other Activities
A large portion of Newfoundland remains wild and untamed. There are adventure tours available which take visitors to view humpback whales and an endless variety of seabirds. Newfoundland has the largest consolidation of humpback whales in the world so spotting these majestic mammals is guaranteed.
In addition, visitors will see massive icebergs, capes, small villages, an abundance of wildlife, and the natural beauty of this cold weathered paradise. Ziplining and high rope walking are popular activities. The scenery and deep depths of the canyons add to the thrills of both, making them adventures you won't soon forget.
Snowmobiling through the wonderland of the terrain is an activity to not be missed. You'll feel as though you have become lost in a never before seen wilderness just as the early explorers witnessed it for the first time.
Whitewater rafting at Aspen Brook is some of the best to be found anywhere. Badger Chute is the area where the water gets more intense and rafters must shoot the rapids.
Imagine picnicking on the soft green grass bordering a rocky cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean as the waves break on the shoreline below. Can it get any better? No. It can't.
Fishing remains as incredibly good as it has always been. Anglers will have no worries when it comes to finding a charter boat to take them out. The sea captains know the best spots and no one ever comes back empty-handed. It's also easy to find a cafe that will be more than happy to cook your catch for you.
Putting together an itinerary when visiting Newfoundland is difficult to accomplish with so many things to see and do. One week-long vacation is not enough time to see it all and you'll find yourself immediately planning a return trip. Whether relaxing, enjoying a great nightlife, touring the island, or eating yourself to death with the greatest seafood found anywhere is on your agenda, Newfoundland has it all.

Combining digital and print – we talk to Just About Dorset magazine
We spoke to Stuart Cooper, Creative Director, about the importance of combining digital and print to reach readers and advertisers alike to successfully run a free magazine.
"In this day and age digital is an essential component of any new publication. It's becoming increasingly difficult to launch new print titles, and without the digital tools to help spread the word and gain momentum it becomes even harder. The Calaméo editions of Just About Dorset provide a great way to reach both readers and advertisers who might otherwise miss out on the printed version."Read more

It's been a while since we've had two Hidamari Sketch – Honeycomb parts both devoted to Yuno. I don't know if there's been an episode like that all season. Well, episode 7 makes up for it. It's a full episode of good things happening to Yuno!
The episode feels like it wants to have fun after the sentiment of last week. It feels more playful all around. Even those cards between gags are more fun (I loved the "shoujo manga Miyako"). First, her class is assigned to make brochure designs for the upcoming cultural festival, the best one being used. It's a chance for her trade lines with Miyako, who as usual is as carefree as Yuno is stressed. while being creative. It's as entertaining as all the other such scenes we've had through the seasons–and it has an imporant difference. Yuno wins! The show has never been concerned with showing us how the characters mature as artists; all we've seen in fact is Yuno's work being ranked rather low, leading to her usual self-esteem moments. This is the first time the show has ever suggested she's improved. She's certainly tougher now. When the time was running out she remembered what happened last year, buckles down, and finishes. After that it's all congrats and watching her nose grow. And besides Yuno's "Preparations …" drawing we also get the return of the infamous bust of the Principal by Yoshinoya.
So Yuno has plenty to be happy about, but in the second half she gets more when Arisawa calls out of the blue. I looked for hidden meanings here but really couldn't find any, but it's still rather odd. As far as we know they met twice last season and got along great, but why would Arisawa suddenly call her out of the blue after graduating and heading to college? All I could think of (ignoring the yuri undertones, even with the restaurant they choose) is that Arisawa is a little lonely, or homesick for high school, in spite of how great she says everything is, but I think I'm reading too much into it. There's a brief return to sentiment when Arisawa makes the point about not letting go of friends; that brings us back to Hiro's episode last week, but with no tears shed. So it was a great episode for Yuno; I doubt shell get another one like it this season. Enjoy it, Yuno!
Last week Robotics Notes looked to be discarding the "plucky kids build a robot for competition against all odds" in favor of the more sinister thing about the sun blowing up or something. This week it's the opposite. There is some of the latter here in episode 6, with Kaito going down the spooky stairway and findng a big machine that's transmitting a signal into space, but that discovery is left there as if the creators signed out of the game at just that point, and we move to the plucky kids part, though Akiho, frankly, is about the only plucky one, the rest there by the sheer force of her enthusiasm, or something. And it takes a classic turn when Subaru's father shows up for a "I told you never to ___" scene and references from two characters about the death of a dream (different dreams, though). The question is how long is the show going to tell these two stories at once? Furugoori seems to be a key to combining them but she refuses to come out, just snickers from her bunker. I don't mind, really. I like both the stories and I'm looking forward to where it's all heading; I just wonder how long it will take.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 7 is a little disappointing. After a big buildup for Zeppeli's epic battle with Tarkus he's pretty much incapacitated (cut in half) only a couple of minutes into it. Yeah yeah, he gives his life force and his biggest power (SUPREME DEEP PASS OVERDRIVE!!) to Jojo before he goes, but I expected more from him. As it turns out, he's cut in two, Jojo gets his power, and destroys Tarkus with half the episode to go. All that's left is Zeppeli's dying inspirational speech while Jojo holds him up like a ventriliquist's dummy and we move on to the next part which is basically Dio acting evil and Jojo and Speedwagon (who does nothing again except declaim how cruel something is then giving out a huge scream) meeting Sage Tompeti (Zeppeli's tutor) and his disciples (sigh) Dire and Straits. And there's a town full of Zombies, and Poco's sister … Yeah, could have been better. Let's see if Zombie-town is any fun.
Oh yeah, and I watched this.

Upturned-Lip Kiss…
Lovers paused to share a kiss,
Playfully enraptured.
Stationary among passers by,
Upon a sidewalk, far from demure.
Entangled in a deep kiss,
Was an infectious smile.
A voyeur as I walked,
I pondered the display a while.
Outside the upturned-lip kiss,
Is a fun place to reside.
Different from the delight from within,
Because I experience a different side.
I see the joy it can bring another,
To witness the blissful moment.
When inhibitions don't inhibit,
And old memories or new hopes are opened.

Customer Reviews
I bought this sword for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it! The blossom pattern on the scabbard is absolutely exquisite, and the blade is beautiful and came razor sharp. It's high end as far as machine made blades go, and an excellent deal for the price. There are a few minor flaws with the lace around the handle not quite covering the rivets, but that is to be expected from machine quality swords. This is one of the best deals you'll find for the price. If you're super picky about technicalities and minor flaws, go to Japan yourself and spend $10,000 on a custom made flawless sword, you won't find it here.
Very happy with this sword.
This sword is not only shaving sharp out of the box, it's gorgeous. It makes a great display peice for the man cave.
@Alexander no where does it say this sword came from japan. it only says its a japanese style katana. giving 2 stars because you misread something is sad.
This piece is beautiful, it is very well made and feels very secure in the scabbard without being hard to pull, this is also very well balanced unlike other katanas which can feel heavier at the top. the artwork is fantastic and everything about this sword is high quality.
You know I have to admit as beautiful as these hand forged blades are it sad that none of then actually came from Japan.

Will you overspend on your holiday?
NEWPORT, Wales - British holidaymakers run out of cash exactly four days and eight hours into their week-long summer holiday according to a study conducted by Gocompare.com.
NEWPORT, Wales – British holidaymakers run out of cash exactly four days and eight hours into their week-long summer holiday according to a study conducted by Gocompare.com.
The study of 2,000 holidaymakers shows that by day four of their seven day break, holidaymakers have spent all of the GBP422.79 they budgeted for the week. They then go on to spend a further GBP115 over the remainder of the holiday – averaging just under forty pounds each day, compared to more than GBP100 each day at the start of their break.
Jeremy Cryer, head of travel insurance at Gocompare.com, which conducted the research, said: "Going on holiday is an expensive business, and as this survey shows, when people land on foreign soil, it is as if all common sense disappears.
"Despite setting realistic budgets for the week before jetting off, a large number of people then seem to go mad on holiday and overspend on food, drinks and excursions. Most Brits would think it crazy to spend over GBP500 during the course of one week at home, but for some reason, when on holiday this seems perfectly acceptable. It is only when people get home that the reality sinks in, and they have to pay the consequences."
The poll suggests 35 per cent of holidaymakers simply visit the cashpoint to withdraw more money when they run out, while 25 per cent spend on their credit card. More than one in 10 people do a combination of both – and worry about how they'll pay everything off later. Indeed, a third of people who choose to overspend on their credit cards when on holiday usually end up paying off their debts over a course of two and a half months.
While most holidaymakers set themselves a budget at the start of a break, holiday essentials such as food, alcohol and day trips always seem to cost more than anticipated:
– Two in five people claim food is their worst indulgence on
holiday, as they overspend on meals out or cuisine they may not try at
– Alcohol or other drinks sets nearly half of all
holidaymakers back more than they'd first thought, and 37 per cent get
carried away with all the tourist attractions and day trips – which
often cost an arm and a leg.
– A fifth of Brits also don't plan to spend as much on nights
out, while a generous 12 per cent can't resist packing their suitcase to
the brim with souvenirs and trinkets to remember their stay.
– Clothes, travel, car hire, shopping trips and gifts for the
children also eat into the average holidaymaker's spending money.
Jeremy continues: "It's all very well budgeting before you go on holiday, but much harder to do so when you are actually there. Those people yet to embark on their summer holiday would be wise to save an extra couple of hundred pounds to put by before going, in anticipation of a bit of overspending."
The survey also polled people who prefer to take 14 day holidays. It shows that these jet-setters usually run out of money nine days and 18 hours into their two week break. In this case, holidaymakers usually allow themselves a spending budget of GBP1,002.07, but end up spending nearer GBP1158.26 – an overspend of GBP156.29.

In college, you learn color theory, gestalt theory, semiotics and other lines of research in order to inform the creation of a logo or a "mark." But what happens when marketing meets the "mark?" Then, you have the creation of a "lovemark." Lovemarks are brands to which a consumer has developed an emotional attachment. These attachments can be quite strong, as evidenced by this image.
Here is a collection of links to consider when pondering the difference between logo, brand, and identity, and which logos are connected to a brand who have ascended to the emotional status of "lovemark."
The difference between brand, identity and logo
But I LOVE Starbucks!! (Lovemarks)
Here is an exercise to grow your identity acumen: Pick one Paul Rand logo from the above site (or one from your current environment). Answer the question: Why are these logos successful (or are they successful)? You may reference use of elements of design, such as line, shape, direction, size, color, value, or principles of design, such as balance, contrast, scale, unity, repetition, etc. Here are some guiding questions.
Line: is it horizontal (restful)? vertical (active)? diagonal (unsettling)?
Shape: Is there a dominant shape? Closed or open?
Direction: Is it "pointing" a certain way? Why? Are there emotional connotations to the direction?
Size: Is there a tension happening in scale?
Color/Value: For the single color logo, are there changes in value? What does this do for the logo?
Balance: Is there symmetry? Asymmetry? How?
Contrast/Scale/Unity/Repetition: Is there a change in the scale of items that are repeated?
Does the logo reproduce well at a small size, such as 1″ x 1″ or the size of a postage stamp? Does it drop line width, legibility, or design elements at such a small scale?
Does it work well in a single color, such as black? (I recommend designing a logo in black and white only at the beginning of every project).
You can blend several of the items above into a single statement about the logo. Don't be afraid to make your observations. There is no right or wrong way of looking…there is only looking until you see. 🙂

High-Tech Gründerfonds and Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn invest in enymotion GmbH
Heilbronn-based start-up develops mobile fuel cell systems as self-sufficient power supply for recreational applications.
Enymotion's fuel cell system allows spatiotemporally independent usage of electricity consumers. It uses the caloric equivalent of conventional fuel or liquid gas to provide the power. Equal-zero-emission of noise and exhaust permit the service in almost all areas of life, where other techniques are inadequate in compliance with requirements. This lightweight energy source will initially come into operation as a battery backup in motor homes, sailing boats and utility vehicles.
The automatic operation mode in recourse to available fuel provides a comfortable and unlimited usage of the fuel cell capacity. Enymotion's first fuel cell system will work with a mixed operating fluid of propane and butane. Dr. Steffen Wieland and Dominic Schluessel, founders of enymotion, state: "The customer's benefit rises by using existent fuel and infrastructure. The valuable support and partnership of High-Tech Gruenderfonds and Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn, enables enymotion to approach this fascinating market."
René Apitz, High-Tech Gruenderfonds Consultant, has an analogue estimation: "The customer's value is obvious and easy to explain. Enymotion convinced us particularly with regard to the dedicated team and the excellent preliminary work." Guenther Steffen, CEO of Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn, adds: "We see an enormous potential of fuel cells in the long run, in particular with combustibles like lpg, petrol or diesel. Enymotion is perfectly positioned and meets an emerging and dynamic market."

LargeEMFModels is a proposed open source component in the Eclipse Modeling Framework Technology (EMFT) project whose goal is to improve EMF's behavior when working with large models. This component will provide such a large model as well as API to query, store and process it. Form the experiences made when working on these models, this project will try to help to make EMF more scalable for such kind of scenarios
This proposal is in the Project Proposal Phase (as defined in the Eclipse Development Process document) and is written to declare its intent and scope. This proposal is written to solicit additional participation and input from the Eclipse community. You are invited to comment on and/or join the component. Please send all feedback to the eclipse.technology.emft newsgroup (please prefix the subject with [largeModel]).
At this year's (2007) Eclipse Summit Europe there was a workshop on this topic. For this workshop we had different position papers illustrating the different scalability issues people run into when working with large models. Some of them seem to be fixable with today's EMF facilities, some other's aren't.
- TODO add stuff from position papers here?
The goal of this component is
- illustrating what is possible with today's emf facilities
- illustrating how to use these facilities
- provide input for EMF what has to be changed or added to make EMF more scalable for such large-scale models

- Bernd Kolb (Independent)

Plans for a revamped 12-hole safari-themed mini golf course in Dawlish are set to draw the backing of planners after councillors visited the site.
Following the site visit, a report to councillors says that the revised plans have reduced the number of outside tables to six with 24 covers, and clearly identified the cycle route, the course would have 12 holes, and that the safari animals would be a metre in height
Read more...http://www.devonlive.com/whats-on/family-kids/revised-safari-themed-mini-golf-911628
At the meeting, Mr Phipps had said: The proposed mini golf course will create 4.5 jobs, Whats that 4 and a midget ???
4 x full-time and 1 x part-time?
3 x full-time and 3 x part-time?
2 x full time and 5 x part-time?
1 x full-time and 7 x part-time?
9 x part-time?
Why did 58 people object?
Paul have you looked at the plans i am all for change but we dont need this a steel container on tucks plot a bit out of place i would say.
So is this happening or not, I sincerely hope not.
It will all be decided on the 19th at 10am
No, I haven't read the plans. I just know my learned pals on here would have all the answers.
Yep a steel container sounds bad.

|Tareq Hasan
|A couple of questions about the Dokan Subscription Add-on... 1) Does the Dokan Subscription Pack add-on allow subscribers to purchase more than one recurring payment subscription concurrently? 2) Is there a way to surface current subscription info into users' meta data? For example users subscribed to my "Gold" plan, I want to see "gold" in their user meta data so that I can make lists of users who belong to that plan using another plugin (UserPro). 3) Will Subscriptions add-on work with the version of Dokan for EDD? Thanks!
October 14, 2014 at 8:27 pm 28389
|Tareq Hasan
1) The subscription plugin is for sellers, not for subscribers. And only one pack can be purchased once at a time.
2) Yes, obviously. Those informations are stored in user meta, so you can take advantage to show conditional informations if you like.
3) It's for WooCommerce, if we release a version for EDD, it'll work for sure 😉

RE: #1 – I understand that only one pack can be purchased at a time (e.g. one checkout session at a time), but can a seller purchase one pack (with recurring billing), then purchase another pack (with separate recurring billing) in a different checkout session?
We want to allow sellers to start selling their products for free, but then purchase one or two premium subscriptions. We then display their names in a different part of the site (giving them more exposure) based on the premium subscriptions they have purchased.
As always, thanks for your awesome WordPress work! You guys are the best I know!

No, they can't have multiple packs. If you purchase another pack, it will replace the existing subscription detail. So ultimately you will have only 1 subscription.

New Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne admits he'll have to live up to his large price tag while speaking to Daily Mail in an interview.
Kevin De Bruyne said
"Of course I earn a lot at City, but I had a lot of money and I'm not the only footballer in that situation.
"It is also up to me to keep performing. If I do not at City, I will have to leave or to earn less.
"Obviously, there is now much talk about money, but money is secondary for me. The sweetest thing I do is stand on that field."

HDR Light Studio for Strata Design 3D CX 8
HDR Light Studio for Strata is a plugin application for use with Strata Design 3D CX 8. It is not a standalone application - it requires Design 3D to launch it from the Lights tab of the Environment palette.
The HDR Light Studio for Strata plug-in application works directly with the Lightdome feature in Design 3D and creates custom, editable high dynamic range images that can light your model, be used for reflections and be visible in your renderings.
Light your shots placing lights and reflections directly onto the 3D view – with a dynamic HDRI map generated on the fly. This revolutionary lighting technique allows 3D artists to light their shots faster and produces stunning final renders.
Revolutionize the lighting process inside Strata Design 3D CX 8.
HDR Light Studio lets you easily create and edit HDRI environment maps in real-time. As you develop your custom HDRI map you see its light, reflection and visible background in real-time with Design 3D's new LiveRay technology.
Click on your 3D model to move the active light to a new location on the HDRI map that will illuminate or be reflected in that part of your 3D model. We call this point and click approach to lighting your shot 'LightPaint'.
HDR Light Studio is much more than a HDRI editor - it's a revolutionary new lighting tool that fits into your existing workflow. It's the fastest way to get your lighting vision out of your head, and onto the screen.

I've found birds, plants, decorations, and garden spaces for this week's alphabetical gardening letter P.
The pine siskins are cute visitors to the garden. Their yellow wing bars sets them apart from sparrows and goldfinches.
In the Fall I love to add some pumpkin heads to the garden. These are made by either turning the pumpkin into a planter or by adding bits and pieces from the tool bench to create the faces.
The plants in the garden starting with p can be endless … pansies, peonies, petunias, poppies, periwinkle, phlox, prairie coneflowers and parsley. Each blooms at different times to make the garden colourful all season long.
One of the best things we did was make plant tables and use big containers for the kitchen garden. These make it so much easier to look after the plants, no awkward bending or hard digging to get the crops/plants out of the ground.
On one of our daycations I found this old tool in a museum and it just reminded me of the letter P. I'm not sure what sort of tool it is or what it was used for.
I'm continuing to add to my personal alphabet with P.
P – patient, photographer, parent
I'm sharing with ABC Wednesday.
This is the 25th round for this very popular link up. Be sure to check out what others have found for the letter of the week.
