Stocking progress...and some new starts!
With Christmas day fast approaching, I'm desperately trying to find time to get in some sneaky, secret stitching....which really is not easy at all! Here's where I was last time I posted on my Santa stocking secret stitching...
....and here's where I am now.....
There's still some hair to do along with some holly and berries to stitch and applique. I still have to embroider the name, attach the front of the stocking to the back and then make and attach the lining! All in a week....I can see that I'll be burning the midnight oil to get this done in time and without the recipient seeing it!
So, while said person is around and I can't work on the stocking, I decided that maybe it was time to pull out this gorgeous kit that I got from my hubby a few Christmases ago......
......I absolutely love the design (and the fact that my hubby picked a cross stitch kit as a gift for me!), but I HATE stitching on black fabric.....which is why I have been putting it off for so long. Even with some white fabric on my lap so that I can see the holes in the aida, I still detest working on dark fabric......don't get me wrong, I love the finished result but I hate working with black or navy aida. So, with this in mind, I'm going to take it slow and only work on this design one night per week so that I don't end up having this project become a UFO.
So the other nights of the week (when I couldn't work on the stocking!) I have been working on this little kit...
This was one of those last minute grabs that I did in my local Wal-mart, so that I would have something to stitch when we were back in the UK for my father-in-laws funeral. As it happened, I didn't get time to stitch so have just started it. It's a cute little design with a sweet saying, which is probably too small to see on the photo, but it says 'Loved you yesterday, love you still. Always have, always will.' I wasn't too sure about buying it as I didn't love it, but it was the only one on the shelf that I would have stitched, the rest didn't appeal to me at all and I really wanted to have something to work on in the evenings while in the UK. It was marked at $8 but when I got to the check-out it rang up as $3.50....what a deal! As you can see it's all blues, so i have a feeling that by the end of this design I'm going to be fed-up of stitching with blue threads!
I'm off to see if I can get a few stitches put in the Santa stocking before everyone else gets home from work.
Until next time....happy stitching!

Jo's Advent Calendar blog hop....and an apology!
Again I'm having to start a blog post with an apology. I had signed up for
's Advent calendar blog hop and then with everything that's been happening in the family and two trips back to the UK, I had completely forgotten all about it. So, my deepest apologies to Jo for messing up her plans and to all the other participants and readers, I apologies to you too.
........Jo's question was 'How do you spend boxing day?' Boxing day isn't something that's celebrated here in the US, but being true Brits, we confuse our American friends by talking about it and bemoaning the fact that you don't get another day off work! When we lived in the UK it was a day spent with my side of the family as we had spend Christmas day with my hubby's family. Today, we spend Boxing day quietly, eating the left-overs from Christmas dinner and usually playing board games. I love the fact that my grown up children love to play board games. We often go for a long walk (which seems to be another typically British tradition!) and we are lucky enough to have a nature preserve very close to where we live, so if the weather is good and there isn't tons of snow, a good long walk is also something that we typically do (it also means that you can then eat the last of the Christmas trifle guilt-free!) I also like to get some stitching done too....what's a day without stitching?
Since I don't have any pictures of our boxing day traditions, I thought I would just share some of my Christmas stitching from previous years (lots of pictures as I'm feeling guilty for missing my date!)....
....and now that I have seen some of these old pics, I really want to go and stitch some of these little gems again!
For more of the advent Blog-hop please visit Jo's blog
.....you might find some new blogging friends to follow!
So, apologies once again for throwing a spanner in the works for Jo's carefully laid out plans. Wishing you all the joys of this wonderful season, no matter how you celebrate!
Until next time....happy stitching!

Tis the season of ...seed beads!
I have seed beads everywhere! Luckily, I don't mind working with them....except when you drop the container with them in and they end up all over the floor!
So my first project with seed beads to show you, is a cute little Christmas card that I started stitching on my long flight back to the US....
.... a cute little button, some fraying of the edges and the aforementioned seed beads....
...means one adorable Christmas card!
This was a little kit that came with the December issue of CrossStitcher magazine that I snagged while back in the UK. Oh my goodness.....I love the UK cross stitching magazines....and the prices of them compared to here in the US.
The next project uses not only seed beads but sequins too....got to get that Christmas sparkle! I haven't managed to get as much done on this Christmas stocking as I had hoped to......it's really hard to stitch a secret gift for someone who lives with you!
Each piece has to be cut out, embroidered and then have the sequins and seed beads attached before being sewn onto the main part of the stocking. It's a very time consuming process.....
Some pieces have to be stuffed as you attach them so the end result is 3D.....
....don't you just love those hamster like cheeks?!!!!
The one thing that I have to do is buy another beading needle as the one that came with the kit is looking a bit worse for wear and is far from straight....I have a feeling that it won't last long! Keep your fingers crossed for me that the craft shop stocks those super skinny beading needles!
Until next time....happy stitching (and beading)!

Christmas stitching
This post is being brought to you by the magic of the blogger 'schedule' button. Instead of cracking on with some Christmas stitching, which is what I was planning on doing, we are flying home for my father-in-laws funeral. I am so grateful that we were able to see him when we went back just a few weeks ago. Life is sad sometimes.
Anyhoo....onto the stitching...which is what you came here to see! This is what I have been working on.....
Looks a bit strange doesn't it? This was for an advent calendar idea that, sadly, won't be ready for the start of December. But since I'm an adult (and so are my kids!!!) it's no big deal that it won't be ready in time and we can continue with the idea as soon as I get back.
Another Christmas stitching project that I started was this......
I love these felt applique stockings! Luckily, this one won't be needed till December 24th, so I'll have plenty time to complete it when we return to the US. All those sequins and seed beads that are involved means that it's not really a project to take with you when you travel....
Some of you may remember me stitching these before.......I think they should carry a health warning on the packet....they are addictive! Here are some pics of the other stockings that I've made......
No doubt I'll be complaining of my fingers hurting with stitching all those sequins....which is, I'm sure, what happened when stitching those other stockings!
So all that's left for me to do is to grab something from my stash so that my fingers are busy while we are away..... a great reason to have a supply of unopened kits....even if they are just the freebies from the cross stitching magazines!
Remember there's still time to enter my giveaway....click
if you want to enter.
Until next time...happy stitching!

Etudes aux fraises

More on Metallics!
I have in fact finished Etudes aux Fraises, but the light today is awful and I can't get a good picture of the finished stitching, so I'll leave that for another day as I want you to see it in all it's glory!.
I thought I would continue on the theme from last week which was metallic threads. There are so many different types of metallic threads available that it's sometimes confusing as to what to buy and what the differences are of each type of metallic threads, so hopefully this might help :)
Just to make everything clear and above board, these are just my opinions/experiences with these threads and I have no connection to the companies and have not been paid or compensated by these companies (But if they do fancy sending me some samples of their threads, I would be most grateful!!! :) )
DMC Light Effects
seems to be the most easily available metallic thread...well it is for me anyway!
According to the DMC website there are 35 colours available, although your local craft store (if you're lucky enough to have one) might not stock them all. DMC Light effects can give you everything from a subtle sheen to a vibrant sparkle in your stitching, depending on how many strands you choose to stitch with. It is a six stranded thread that comes in the usual DMC skein and can be used on its own or combined with regular stranded thread. For a softer, more subtle look you can combine one or two strands of light effects with regular stranded thread or for a more intense sparkly look, you can use DMC light effects on its own using one or two strands.
Light Effects uses the same color numbering system as regular DMC thread with each colour beginning with an 'E' then the colour number.
for the Light Effects page on the DMC website
Another DMC metallic thread that's great to work with is
DMC Diamant
This luxurious twisted thread is available in twelve gorgeous metallic colours – Check out the DMC website
for a colour chart.
Diamant has a slightly more subtle sheen than some of the other metallic threads, but is really soft and easy to work with – probably my favourite of the metallic threads!
A single strand of Diamant thread
is equivalent to 2 strands of DMC stranded cotton. You can use this thread straight off the spool or double it for a richer effect.
Another metallic thread that seems to be used quite frequently is
Kreinik Blending Filament
This is often used for a more subtle sparkle and, as the name suggests, is typically combined with regular thread. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to colours of this blending filament....there are over 100 colours available, some of which glow in the dark! You can check out all the colours on the Kreinik website which you can find
. This is an exceptionally shiny thread but does tend to curl when you unwind it from the spool.
If you want a slightly more sparkly effect than blending filament gives, Kreinick also offers
Kreinik very fine braid (no.4)
(Sorry there's no picture for this thread....all I could find in my stash box was an empty spool!!!)
Again, this thread comes in a host of colours as you can see
. You can combine this thread with regular stranded thread.
This is another thread that comes in lots of different colours, glow in the dark and multi-colour options as you can see from their website
Kreinik also does fine braid (no8) which
is a slightly thicker version of the very fine braid no4 and is designed to be used on its own. Check out the colours
and while you're there look at the wonderful names they have given to the threads.....Pixiedust, Dragonfly and Mermaid! The names alone make me want to buy them :) Fine braid no8 is easy to use and gives nice coverage without being too bulky.
And finally, the
metallic thread that came free with the World Of Cross Stitching that I showed in my last post. The packaging states that it is Madeira Metallic No 4, but I found it very hard to find very much info about this thread on the Internet. I have several packets of this thread in my stash (courtesy of WOCS as it's their free gift every Christmas!)
This thread is packaged quite differently from the other metallic threads, it comes in a pack Madeira call
the StickTwist Spiral Pack which is supposed to keeps the thread clean and tangle-free until you use it. I'm not a big fan of the packaging as I find that it's a bit messy once you have started to use the thread. The colours that I have gorgeous, but I can't find how many different colours there are in the range. As for ease of use, the thread itself is very similar to DMC light effects. I will try to contact Madeira to see if I can get any more info and I will definitely update this post if they respond.
Soooo, I hope this was helpful if you have been wondering about metallic threads.
Here's a Christmas chart that I designed for using with metallic threads.....hope you have fun trying out some different types metallic threads. I haven't given a key for the chart as I think it's quite self explanatory....2 colours that's all you need. You can use whatever metallic threads you have on hand - absolutely any colour combination would work...enjoy!
Click here for a copy of the chart.
Please do not copy or share this chart.....thank you!
Until next time....happy stitching!

Stitching with metallic threads
Sparkles, sparkles, sparkles….who doesn't love sparkles? They add a little pop to your stitching and the end result can be breathtaking and Christmas stitching lends itself perfectly to using sparkly metallic threads.
This months free gift form the World of Cross Stitching magazine is their Christmas metallic stitching bundle, which is two colours of metallic threads and a booklet of Christmas designs using just these two threads. My little animal design feature in the booklet this year…..
Since we are beginning to think of Christmas stitching (I know some of you have been thinking about this for ages, but I'm not that organized!!!) I thought now might be the perfect time to talk about metallic threads.
Unfortunately, metallic threads aren't always fun to stitch with, they twist and tangle, shred and break and generally add a bit of stress (along with some colourful words!) to our stitching routine. Here are some tips to hopefully reduce that stress and make life a bit easier to get the perfect result when using metallic threads…
1. Use a slightly shorter length of thread than you would normally stitch with.
2. Use sharp scissors to cut the the lengths of thread…..don't start with thread that is already beginning to fray!
3. Slow down your stitching…..make sure that the thread lies flat for best results.
4. If you are using two strands of metallic thread, secure the thread on your needle by folding the length of thread in half and thread the needle with the loop end...
pull the rest of the thread through the loop....
and pull tight so that the knot is at the eye of the needle.....
(I've used a large crochet needle and six strands of thread for the picture so that it's clearer to see)
5. Metallic threads are a bit stretchy so make sure you secure the threads on the back of your stitching. I tend to leave a longer 'tail' and go through more stitches than normal (beginning and ending) to secure the threads so they don't end up breaking free.
6. Using a slightly larger needle can help prevent the metallic threads form fraying.
7. Let your needle hang every few stitches to unwind, this helps reduce the twisting and tangling that often happens with metallic threads.
8. Using a 'conditioning' product helps the thread move more smoothly through the fabric. Thread heaven is the product most stitchers rave about but, unfortunately is no longer being produced (if you can get your hands on this product, you've struck gold!) You can find other conditioning types of products in the sewing/ quilting sections of craft stores. I personally don't use them, so I can't give an opinion about them.
9. Use the correct type of metallic thread for your project. There are many different types of metallic threads and they all produce different results. (I'll be doing another post about the different metallic threads….so watch this space!)
10. Leave the metallic stitching to the end so that there is no risk of damaging the stitched metallic threads.
I hope this might helpful for those of you who have never used metallic threads before. If you have any other tips about metallic threads please do leave a comment....I'd love to know more!
Until next time....happy stitching!

Illegal wars, global demagogues rising, the fury of the disenfranchised, millions suffering the effects of unmitigated climate change, wage stagnation, fake news, unfettered corporate expansion exploiting nearly every area of public and private life .. It is easy to despair at the state of the world in the early years of the twenty-first century. It is also hard to make sense of the forces that have led us to this ongoing crisis.
In Optimism over Despair, Noam Chomsky insightfully describes the state of the planet. He shows how we got here, explains the motivations of those on the world stage, as well as those behind the scenes, and carefully articulates why and how resistance can be the source of a fundamental and lasting change. As he writes : "We have two choices. We can be pessimistic, give up, and help ensure that the worst will happen.
Or we can be optimistic, grasp the opportunities that surely exist, and maybe help make the world a better place."

Crocheter's Notebook
During the last several days I have been on a mission to organize my crochet chaos. One of the first things I did was to create a place to collect my notes on projects. I researched various resources online then decided that creating my own made more sense for me. I also wanted to keep track of information I would need when I uploaded my projects to Raverly. Initially I had envisioned making at least four, one for a quarter of a year, all different colors, partnered with color coordinating folders for printed patterns and swatches. Part of the inspiration for my notebook came from years of using writer's notebooks with students at school. For me, crafting a sweater and wearing it is like publishing a piece of writing.

BlackRock's Rieder buying longer-term bonds as Fed pause seems likely
NEW YORK - BlackRock Inc's <> Rick Rieder is buying lοnger-term bοnds because softening inflatiοn cοuld fοrce the U.S. Federal Reserve to pause interest rate hikes, the top fixed-incοme investοr told Reuters this week.
Rieder, who is chief investment officer of global fixed incοme fοr the wοrld's largest fund manager, said inflatiοn cοuld be declining frοm current levels.
"People keep waiting fοr the bοgeyman cοming in terms of inflatiοn, and they're gοing to have to wait a lοng time," Rieder said οn Wednesday. "Why nοt pause?"
BlackRock manages $6.4 trilliοn in assets, with nearly a third of that in fixed incοme.
Over the past three weeks, Rieder has been buying lοnger-term bοnds, particularly Treasuries cοming due in 5 years, but also those due as far in the future as 30 years.
Earlier this year, Rieder had been selling lοng bοnds, citing uncertainty arοund Fed pοlicy.
Now, he says, the picture is clearer.
Markets, bracing fοr an ecοnοmic slowdown pοssible by 2020, are pushing back against three years of Fed rate hikes aimed at restοring pοlicy to nοrmal fοoting a decade after the 2007-2009 global financial crisis.
Strοng buying pushed 30-year U.S. yields US30YT=RR to 3.12 percent οn Thursday, frοm highs this mοnth abοve 3.3. The benchmark S&P 500 .SPX stock index is down 2.2 percent over the same period, including dividends.
Fed Chair Jerοme Powell said οn Nov. 28 pοlicy rates are "just below" estimates of a level that neither brakes nοr bοosts a healthy U.S. ecοnοmy.
Markets assign an overwhelming prοbability that there will be two hikes at mοst between nοw and the end of 2019. Rieder in September predicted the Fed would raise rates οnly twice οr so in 2019. At the time markets priced in a better-than-even chance that the Fed would mοve three times οr mοre.
Investοrs await a U.S. jobs repοrt οn Friday that will shed light οn wage inflatiοn.
But inflatiοn is unlikely, Rieder said, as cοnsumers fail to purchase big-ticket items. Housing and other interest rate-sensitive sectοrs, meanwhile, are reeling frοm rate hikes.
The Fed is also shrinking its cache of bοnds bοught after the financial crisis to spur lending and investment.
Partly as a result of that, global market liquidity is set to shrink cοmpared to the priοr year fοr the first time since the crisis, BlackRock estimates show.
Indeed, investοrs should expect mοre volatility, Rieder said.
"People are underestimating the amοunt of liquidity that's being drained frοm the system."

Iedereen die nu denkt een rondborstige brunette te zien, helaas, Kornelia is één van de beste vrouwelijke Q3ers op deze planeet. Gamespy was zo onder de indruk van deze vrouw dat ze een contract aangeboden gekregen heeft. Ja heren, deze dame zal uw ass toch echt fraggen in one-on-one If you attended either this year's Game Developer's Conference or E3, chances are you had a chance to witness female Quake player Kornelia Takacs dismantling opponents inside GameSpy's booth. Well, GameSpy announced today that it has signed Kornelia to a one-year contract to represent the company at numerous conferences and expos around the world. Her next appearance will be in the Hercules/GameLoft booth at ECTS in London (GameLoft is an investor/partner with
Typically, Kornelia plays one-on-one against anyone brave enough to play her, and rarely loses, let alone even getting fragged. Kornelia says, "I love this game. I'm very competitive, and when Quake first came out, I played for many days online and became immediately
'hooked.' My goal is to become respected by my fellow professional gamers around the world not just because I'm a female, but because of my overall gaming skills."
Some people may be of another opinion that female-only tournaments exist due to a difference in skill level between the sexes. Munoz shuns this idea right away, "Kornelia, who is one of the best ranked gamers regardless of gender, is up there with the very best. She has to be one of the top 50 best gamers in the world. If you are in the top 50, you are beating a lot of men to get there. Kornelia would be the first to tell you that it is very difficult for a female gamer to get the type of attention that male gamers at same level
get -- it's pretty annoying for her.In dit artikel staat Kornelia ook in de schijnwerpers. Gameweek

One of the things I was really looking forward to on our visit to Gatlinburg, Tennessee was introducing my children to HOT Kripy Kreme donuts. Have you ever had one? If so, you know what I'm talking about! A cold Krispy Kreme donut that's sitting on a shelf in a store, nope. A freshly made hot one, I want more than one!
I learned about Krispy Kreme donuts when I was in college, yummy!
This particular place had an even better view of how they make the donuts than the one by college. It's so fun to watch them being flipped over and going under the icing waterfall!
I chose to use the Krispy Kreme colors for this layout, but I realize they are also Christmas colors. Those attending Scrap Club will have the option of swapping out the red for another color in class so they can make their layout a little less "Christmasy" if they like.
I'm looking forward to Scrap Club on Monday, August 15! If you are not a part of the club, but would like to join us for the day, contact me!
I'm so glad you came by to visit today. Have a great one!

Benjamin Vrbiceck's new book, Don't Just Send A Resume: How To Find The Right Job In A Local Church, is the kind of wisdom pastors need today as they look for work in the local church. Benjamin gives sage advice for pastors in this stage.
When Benjamin asked if I'd be willing to contribute a short essay to encourage pastors while they apply and interview in churches, I couldn't say no. You'll also find contributions from Jared C. Wilson, David Mathis, Jeremy Writebol, Kristen Wetherell, Dave Harvey, and more.
With Benjamin's permission, and encouragement, here is what I contributed to Don't Just Send a Resume:
The Home Depot and I don't belong together. I'm a foreigner in this strange store. It's a playground for men and women who know what to do with tools, electricity, plumbing, and other home-related whosie-whatsits. When I pretend like I know what I'm doing, and I tackle a DIY project at my house, I always regret it. From putting holes in the wall when I was just unscrewing a towel rack to electricity bolting through my body, I'm no handyman. I'm not wired for it. I've come to terms with who I am, and my house and sanity are better for it.
One of the worst things you could do as you interview to become a church's pastor is to gloss over certain theological stances you have because it might keep you from getting the job. Don't hide who you are. Doctrinal deception is disqualifying. If you begin your ministry with deceit, you've already derailed it. Don't let the pursuit of a pastorate push your beliefs to the background. If this temptation lurks in the interview, know that an unhealthy pursuit for ministry is behind it all. Ministry idolatry will help you get a ministry—and then it'll help you ruin it. One way you can crucify this idolatry, or fear, is by owning your convictions. Make them known, and let the job offers fall where they may.
Show the committee, the elders, or whoever is interviewing you that you take the Bible seriously and you have given credible, pastoral thought to a variety of doctrines that matter in discipleship with the risen Jesus. Doctrine is for discipleship. Theology is never irrelevant. It matters for sermons, counseling, staff meetings, search committees, job offers, and every situation under the sun.
If you are a Calvinist, don't hide your TULIP because its aroma might offend. Talk about the bouquet of God's grace in a gracious manner. If you pray in tongues, let them know. Maybe the church will encourage it, or maybe they will end the interview right then. Whatever the outcome, own your views. If you believe in a rapture, don't leave that behind. Does your position on the end times differ from the church's?
As you do your homework on this local church, itemize potential places of disagreement, grade how critical the disagreement is to you, and then have this conversation in the process. How flexible are you on the frequency of communion? Where do you and the church land on baptism? Credo, paedo, a hybrid? Does the church's structure and practice for eldership and deacons align with yours? Make your list, see where there can be unity in diversity or if there's too much disagreement—on either side—to serve effectively. Do it for your benefit and the church's.
It's better to talk about controversial theological issues in an interview than in a conflict resolution meeting or a meeting where the church is voting to fire you. You don't want to turn a blind eye to any theological positions or church practices, because it will eventually come back around. Your secret stances will become obvious. The tension will snowball. The drama will escalate and then a new secret search committee will accept their mission. You can save yourself the time of moving your family and attending many tense meetings if you'll simply say what you believe.
As you unfold your personal views, see where the church may be open to change and where there are thick walls of concrete. When a pastor differs too much from the doctrinal distinctives of a church, it's best to pack up, thank everyone for their time, and move along. If they are open to your views or open to being convinced from God's word about fill-in-the-blank, keep the conversation going. Be who you are. Show what you believe. Don't act like me, a hypocrite in The Home Depot.

Heather Morris Channels Britney Spears 6 Years After Epic 'Glee' Episode
The April 3 episode of 'Dancing With The Stars' was a blast from the past for Heather Morris who got a chance to perform Britney Spears' 'Toxic' again six years after she first channeled the pop icon on 'Glee'!
Heather Morris' performance of Britney Spears' hit "Toxic" on Glee will forever go down as one of the show's most epic numbers. So when fans of the 30-year-old actress found out she'd be performing the song again while competing on the April 3 episode of Dancing with the Stars they totally freaked.
Of course their excitement ended up being totally warranted, as not only did Heather and her stand-in partner Alan Bernsten totally crush their tango to the pop hit, but the former Glee star looked as amazing channeling Britney now as she did six years ago!
[interaction id="58e302ca47afc37b3b046837″]
The stunning sequin dress she wore to perform on DWTS was definitely an homage to the sparkly bodysuit Britney wears in the "Toxic" music video. Heather also wore a very similar costume when her character Brittany Pierce was performing the song on the Glee episode.
Click here to see pics of 'Glee' Season 6
Though Heather ended up doing an amazing job with the song, she admitted before the show she wasn't entirely "thrilled" to be performing it again. "We found out we'll be performing to Britney Spears' 'Toxic' for this week's Vegas theme, which has me a little bit thrilled and a little bit disappointed all at the same time," Heather wrote on her DWTS blog for PEOPLE. "Haven't I already done this? Isn't this what my iconic character on Glee is based on? I'm here to show my fans — and the rest of the world — more about who Heather really is and, to me, this seems like a step back in time."
"I called my sister to share my thoughts and she quickly assured me, saying, 'Heather, so many of your fans will be so happy to see you perform this again!'" Heather wrote. "Talking to her allowed me to understand that I have to set my ego aside and bring myself to this as much as I can because, without my fans, I would not be where I am today."
Don't worry Heather, we assure you it was totally worth it for the smile it put on your fans faces!
HollywoodLifers, what did you think of Heather's performance of "Toxic"? Was it even better than the one she did on Glee? Give us all your thoughts below!

'The Guardians' a masterpiece about rural Frenchwomen during WWI
"The Guardians" ("Les Gardiennes" in French) is either a masterpiece or a near-masterpiece — time will tell. But it takes its place among the best films of Xavier Beauvois, an eclectic group of exceptional pictures that includes the crime drama "Le Petit Lieutenant" (2005) and "Of Gods and Men," about Trappist monks in Algeria.
Like "Of Gods and Men," "The Guardians" is about people in a seemingly peaceful community who are, nonetheless, under siege. It takes place during World War I, in the French countryside, where a mother and daughter are trying to work the farm in the absence of the three men in their lives. Two sons are off fighting in the trenches, and so is the daughter's husband. It somehow helps the movie — makes things more immediate, more poignant and more interesting to watch — that the mother and daughter are played by a real-life mother-daughter pair, Nathalie Baye and Laura Smet.
The film details three years in the life of a single family, from early in the war to war's end, with a brief epilogue that updates the action through 1920. For Baye, this is one of her great showcases — and in a sense, the first of her old age. From the earliest days of her stardom, some 40 years ago, Baye has always depicted the sorrows and struggles of average women. Not a unique eccentric like Isabelle Huppert or Isabelle Adjani, Baye has always been normal, yet sad, a witness to the perfidies of men. Now, as the farm's matriarch, she is striving in the face of the ultimate male stupidity, World War I.
The film presents a loving vision of the countryside, with beautiful, long pans across women working in the fields. These shots are like paintings in motion, with an intentional air of unreality — no one is dirty, no one speaks. It's a vision of idealized memory, a celebration and appreciation of the women who, in their own way, suffered during the war years. The misery was considerable. The carnage at the front touched every town, and every family lived with the specter of the knock on the door that could come at any time.
"The Guardians" documents this history, while at the same time hinting at the modern world soon to come, with heavy machinery relieving the physical toil of farming and modern mores rushing in on the tide of war. Iris Bry, as Francine, is a kind of unwitting emblem of the new, an orphaned farmworker brought in by the family, whose life course embodies the journey of women during this period of transition and upheaval.
The performances are extraordinary, as they often are in Beauvois' films, with Baye a study in quiet suffering and Bry wonderfully enigmatic — seemingly simple, but hinting at a soul capable of expansion and adaptation.

Humankind: the post-truth speciesMonday, April 17, 2017
New Delhi, April 17 -- We are told that we are living in a new and frightening era of "post-truth". So when, exactly, was the halcyon age of truth? In the 1980s? The 1930s? The 18th century? Ever since the Stone Age, self-reinforcing myths have served to unite human collectives. Indeed, Homo sapiens conquered this planet thanks above all to the unique human ability to create and spread fictions. We are the only mammals that can cooperate with numerous strangers because only we can invent fictional stories, spread them around, and convince millions of others to believe in them. Just try cramming 50,000 chimps into Yankee Stadium, Wall Street or the Vatican. Yet if you put 50,000 humans in Yankee Stadium, Wall Street or the Vatican, you will get extremely sophisticated networks of cooperation, provided all these humans happen to believe in the same stories about baseball, stock markets or Christianity. You can never convince a group of chimpanzees to attack a distant chimpanzee group by promising them that if they die, they will go to Chimpanzee Heaven and enjoy countless bananas forever . No chimp will believe this story. Humans, in contrast, develop deep and abiding faith in such myths even in the absence of any confirming empirical evidence. That is why we rule the world rather than the faithless chimps. So if you blame Facebook or Vladimir Putin for ushering a new and frightening era of post-truth, remind yourself that centuries ago Christians locked themselves inside a self-reinforcing mythological bubble, while Muslims put their unquestioning faith in the Quran. We have zero scientific evidence that Eve was tempted by the Serpent or that the creator of the universe dislikes homosexuality-yet billions of people have believed in these stories for thousands of years. Some fake news apparently lasts forever. Many people might be upset by my equating religion with fake news, but that's exactly the point. In more recent times, each nation has created its own national mythology, while movements such as communism, fascism and liberalism fashioned elaborate self-reinforcing credos. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda maestro and perhaps the most accomplished media-wizard of the modern age, allegedly explained his method by stating that "a lie told once remains a lie, but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth". The truth is that truth was never high on the agenda of Homo sapiens. Many people believe that if a particular religion or ideology misrepresents reality, its adherents are bound to discover it sooner or later, because they will not be able to compete with more clear-sighted rivals. In practice, the power of human cooperation depends on a delicate balance between truth and fiction. If you distort reality too much, it will indeed weaken you by making you act in counterproductive ways. For example, when the Soviet Union adopted the bogus evolutionary theories of Trofim Lysenko and punished any deviation from his mistaken dogmas, it crippled Soviet agriculture and contributed to the economic collapse of communism. On the other hand, you cannot organize masses of people effectively without relying on some mythology. If you stick to unalloyed reality, few people will follow you. Consider that when President Donald Trump took his oath of office on 20 January, he did so on a Bible, just as Barack Obama, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln did. Similarly, in many countries around the world, including the US and UK, witnesses in courts still put their hand on a Bible when swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Isn't it ironic that they swear to tell the truth on a book brimming with fictions, myths and errors? They might as well swear to tell the truth on a copy of Harry Potter. (Some people may be offended by my comparison of the Bible with Harry Potter. Devoted Jews and Christians may explain that the Bible was never meant to be read as a factual account, but rather as a metaphorical story containing deep wisdom. But isn't that true of Harry Potter too?) Of course, 2017 is different in some respects. First, fictions and myths are reinforced today not through strict censorship, but through flooding people with irrelevant information. Inundated by funny cat videos, we just don't know what to pay attention to, and often spend our time investigating and debating side issues. In ancient times, having power meant having access to information. Today, having power means knowing what to ignore. Secondly, technology makes human fantasies more powerful than ever before. In ancient Egypt, the pharaohs dreamed of living forever in paradise, so they built pyramids and had their bodies mummified. In the 21st century, tech moguls who dream of living forever in paradise are investing in genetic engineering, Artificial Intelligence and virtual realities. Within a few decades perhaps they could really extend human lifespans and create paradise by rewriting our DNA code or by directly connecting brains to computers. People expect reality to eventually burst the bubble of fiction-but in our century, the bubble might end up engulfing reality. As technology makes humans more powerful than before, it also makes our fantasies and myths more potent than ever. If you dream of a society in which truth reigns supreme and myths are ignored, you have little to expect from Homo sapiens. Better try your luck with chimps.

Habitat 67 is an iconic and world-renowned Montreal landmark, built for Expo 67. It is a beautiful urban habitat that gives residents their own garden on a roof with privacy and direct access in a property that's mass produced.
This is one of the coolest buildings in the world, and it calls Montreal home.
Cool Facts about Habitat 67 in Montreal:
1) The urban housing project was designed by a 24-year-old McGill University student! The famous architect was Moshe Safdie, who was originally from Israel.
2) Habitat is made up of 354 concrete boxes! Each box is about 600 sq. feet and weighs in at 90 tons.
3) The complex was supposed to be 1000 units, but that obviously didn't happen. Originally, there were only 158 units.
4) Habitat 67 really is made up of concrete prefab boxes! Every box went through an assembly line for the windows, insulation, modular kitchens and bathrooms installations. There was an on-site prefab factory putting it all together. Then, a crane lifted each box into its position!
5) It took 30 months to complete Habitat 67 from start to finish.
6) The units were rented out at a jaw-dropping rate of $1000 back in 1968! Obviously, only the affluent could live at this "affordable" urban dwelling.
7) The building's private gardens were all set up with automatic sprinkler systems! Not bad for those days, aside from the fact that they were extremely expensive.
8) The Federal Government sold Habitat 67 in 1986, which later became private residences.
9) Units listed for sale in 2018 were asking up to $1.5 million.
10) Condo fees at Habitat 67 go between $1200 and $1500 each MONTH!
11) Habitat 67 was declared a heritage site in 2009 by the Quebec government.
12) Safdie intends to donate his own 10th-floor unit that would be open to the public for viewing.

The Indian Premier League has begun and everyone has geared up to throw in lot with their respective teams. To watch the matches, we tour all around the country to support our teams and celebrate each win. But if we can lengthen the period of our stay by a little, then we might end up exploring at least one exclusive attraction of some of these states that are represented by the participating teams.
So what are you waiting for? Book your tickets and make a plan to not only have fun this IPL but also make the most to satiate the traveller in you.
To See - The famous and incredibly beautiful Victoria Memorial is located in Maidan. It is a marble-made building that houses a museum inside. You must visit this colonial structure if you love history as it showcases invaluable and precious artifacts from olden times.
To See - The verdant hill station Mahabaleshwar is located in the Sahyadri mountain range. This stunning place was the erstwhile summer capital of Bombay province during British India.
To See - The war memorial of India Gate is one of the most popular attractions in India. When you go to Delhi to root for your team, do not forget to visit this place.
To See - The green stretches of Coorg will be a good contrast to induce a sense of calm into you as opposed to the chaotic revelry of a chock-a-block stadium.
To See - It will almost be a crime to not make a trip to the Gir Forest National Park when you are in Gujarat. Spend a day watching the forest beasts and excite your primal instincts no end.
To See - A monument of national importance, as declared by the Archaeological Survey of India, it was built by Sultan Muhammed Shah Aga Khan III to succor the famine-hit poor people. It is today of immense national importance.
To See - Sight of commemoration of the innocent lives lost in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre is the Jallianwala Bagh Park in Punjab. It is one of the most important places to visit in Punjab.
To See - Hyderabad is extremely synonymous to the Ramoji Film City and hence next time you visit Hyderabad to support your team, do make a short trip to this fantastic place.

Raji: An Ancient Epic
Raji: An Ancient Epic is an action adventure game set in Ancient India. Raji, a young girl is chosen by the gods, to stand against the demonic invasion of the human realm, her destiny to rescue her younger brother and face the demon lord Mahabalasura.
The Story of Raji
The story of Raji: An Ancient Epic, takes place right at the start of the next great war, where demons and their ambitions will drive humanity to the threat of extinction.
While the demons have challenged the very gods who put them in despair, they plan to avenge their embarrassing defeat, thousands of years ago in the last great war. During the thousand years of peace, the human race became content, falling into a false sense of security. Not only were they ill-prepared for an invasion, but they had forgotten the ways of alchemy. The situation threatens their very essence, leaving the humans to the mercy of demons.
Amidst the chaotic invasion where cities and forts fell, Raji was chosen by the gods as the sole defender of the human race. Blessed by various gods who still stand compassionate to humanity, she wields weapons and powers of the gods that have yet to awaken from within.
Raji herself suffered during the siege of Jaidhar, having had her brother abducted by the Demons. She felt powerless and was knocked unconscious during the invasion. She awakes days later only to realize that she's been gifted with godlike powers, yet her brother is nowhere to be found.
Raji sets on a journey of self discovery, to find her younger brother amidst the raging demonic enclaves, while the great Lord Mahabalasura plans to capture the human realm for himself...

Ritalin LA and Depression
During clinical studies on Ritalin LA, depression was one of the reported side effects. Since it is a serious condition, notify your healthcare provider if you notice any symptoms of depression in you or your child. On the other hand, stimulants like Ritalin LA are sometimes used "off-label" to treat depression. The Ritalin LA manufacturer, however, warns against this, since the drug has not been studied for this use.
Several side effects are possible for people taking Ritalin LA® (methylphenidate extended-release). Depression has been reported in clinical studies of methylphenidate (the active ingredient in Ritalin LA). However, medications like Ritalin LA are also sometimes used to help treat depression.
Before medicines are approved, they must go through several clinical studies in which people are given a particular medicine and compared to a group of people not given the medicine. In these studies, side effects are always documented. This way, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine. Side effects are then usually separated into those that occur in more than 1 percent of people (common side effects) and those that occur in less than 1 percent of people (rare side effects).
For Ritalin LA specifically, depression was not reported as a common side effect in short-term studies. For other forms of methylphenidate (which have been studied in larger groups of people), depression was a reported side effect (although the specific frequency was not reported). Based on this data, it is difficult to say how common it is for people taking Ritalin LA to experience depression.

March 2, 2012 (JUBA) - More constitutional post holders in South Sudan declare their personal income and assets to the South Sudan Anti-Corruption Commission (SSACC) on Thursday, although like previous declarations the results were not made public.
The policy was reintroduced by a presidential decree, after the previous attempt had failed, calling on all the constitutional post holders, senior civil servants and officers from the organised forces to declare their income and assets before the 31 March. Any official who fails to submit the form before the deadline will be asked to resign.
Two weeks ago the vice president Riek Machar declared his income and assets to the commission, although his net wealth and assets have not been made public. Machar urged his colleagues to follow suit. The army's top generals were also issued with the declaration forms and expressed their readiness to declare their wealth.
The most high profile of the latest batch of officials to declare their assets was Rebecca Nyandeng Garang de Mabior, a presidential Advisor on gender and human rights. Upon receiving a certificate on Thursday verifying she had declared all her assets and liabilities to SSACC she denied rumours that her family owns a beer company in Juba.
Speaking to reporters after receiving her certificate of declaration on Thursday, Nyandeng thanked the anti-graft commission. She said it was appropriate for officials to declare their wealth and assets so the public knew what was happening to the country's resources.
In a statement on national television, Nyandeng explained that she filled all her income, assets and liabilities clearly. She said that most of her assets were from an insurance payout after the death of her husband the former chairman of Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), John Garang de Mabior. Garang died in a helicopter crash in 2005 just weeks after becoming the first vice president of Sudan and the President of South Sudan as part of the north-South peace deal.
Nyandeng denied and condemned the rumours and allegations that she owns the White Bull Company, which makes beer. She told state TV and radio that she did not know who owned the company, stressing that if the company belonged to her family, she would have declared it like other assets she had declared.
Other officials including minister of information and broadcasting, Barnaba Marial Benjamin and water resources and irrigation, Paul Mayom Akec declared their assets at the same time.
The declaration forms are South Sudan's latest attempt to root out corruption, which is rife in the young country. Billions of dollars of public funds have gone missing since the SPLM took power in Juba in 2005 following a peace deal with the Sudanese government in Khartoum.
In July last year South Sudan became independent but the world's youngest country faces a host of problems including humanitarian emergencies and security issues as well as corruption.
On Thursday the chairperson of South Sudan's workers trade and union also joined the top government officials in declaring his assets and liabilities to the SSACC.
Meanwhile the minister for information and broadcasting, Dr Barnaba Marial Benjamin urged all the ministers and top officials of the government to be transparent in the exercise saying everybody should be accountable.
At the same time, the minster for water resources and irrigation, Paul Mayom Akech asserted that they will assist the commission take tougher decisions to reduce corruption vowing that they did not fight to embezzle public funds.
On his part, the chairperson of the Anti-Corruption Commission, Justice John Gatwech Lul announced that whoever fills the form without declaring all the assets and later discovered will forfeit the assets which will then be transferred into government account.
There are concerns that some officials may have banked stolen money under different names, making it difficult to trace.
The SSACC boss however earlier said he was mobilising expertise from Europe and America who will employ the latest techniques of tracing and detecting "stolen" money from financial institutions around the world.

Forget Big New Year's Resolutions and Focus on Simple Changes
For a long time now, I've wanted to write a fiction book. All of the books I've written so far have been nonfiction, and I really want to write a novel. But that's a HUGE undertaking! And, not surprisingly, I've been kind of paralyzed in my goal. I have the idea, but I always seem to be able to find plenty of other things to do besides actually writing down my story. So, it's time for me to change my strategy if I'm ever going to get this book done! Here's my plan: Instead of saying, "I'm going to get my book done this year," I'm setting a simpler goal. One day a week, I'm going to spend the morning working on my book. I'll put aside my blogging, editing and housework, and just focus on writing my novel. If I stick with this plan, will I have my book done by the end of the year? I don't know for certain. But I'll definitely have a LOT more progress made on it than I've accomplished so far with my current plan!
If, like me, you really want to make some sort of change in your life this year, SocialMoms and Simply Orange Juice would like to encourage you to take a pledge to make simple, positive changes in your life this year. What do you want to accomplish? Maybe it's to eat better or shed some weight. It might be to improve your marriage or your relationship with your children. Perhaps you want to get your finances in order or save for a large purchase. Now, break that goal down into simple steps that you can take on a daily or weekly basis. Just commit to those goals and don't think about the "big picture" for now. If necessary, get out your calendar and write down your small goals. My calendar is going to have "work on my book this morning" every Thursday! If you're working on your marriage, you might want to write "Date Night!" on your calendar once a month. If you want to save money, my mom has a very simple way of doing so. Every time she gets a $5 bill, she puts it in a jar. She's saved hundreds of dollars this way and says she hasn't missed the money in her wallet a bit.
So, go ahead, take the first step. Commit to a small, positive and achievable "something" that you can do to get closer and closer to your dream. It's a new year, and it's time for a "new you." You can do it!
DISCLOSURE: I wrote this blog post while participating in the SocialMoms and Simply Orange® blogging program. If I am one of the first 65 blogs received by SocialsMoms, I will receive a $25 Target gift card and a gift pack that includes a Simply Orange® cooler bag and logoed fleece.

Rockboard Scooter
Do your kids love kick scooters, but also want the versatility of a shredding scooter? Turn to the Rockboard Scooter, a two-in-one scooter, which combines the best of both worlds. Designed for kids 8 and older, the Rockboard scooter is equipped with advanced Rockboard propulsion technology, which includes a steel power-drive chain that allows kids to shred the pavement in Rockboarding mode. However, if they're looking for a more casual ride, they can adjust the two-position locking joint and turn the Rockboard into a low-profile kick scooter. It's like owning two completely different scooters but without spending the extra money. The Rockboard scooter is built to last, with an ultra-strong aluminum frame, an aluminum front fork, and a die-cast aluminum deck. The scooter's rear spring-enhanced suspension system, meanwhile, creates a smooth ride on the most unforgiving pavement. And thanks to the nylon-reinforced spokes and super-tough urethane wheels, the scooter provides amazing rolls and even better traction.
Here are some of the other great features of the Rockboard Scooter
- Reinforced handlebar assembly for safety and over-sized nylon coupler allows handlebars to be folded for compact storage
- Telescope downpipe with height adjustment lock lets you adjust the handles to your exact height
- Comfort grip and aluminum alloy brake handle allow for hours of Rock-boarding with perfect control on the pavement
- 2-position locking joint for Dual-Mode scooter capability and easy folding the lets you take your ride anywhere
- Racing inspired bearings to keep your scooter rolling

My Marriage Is Perfect But I'm Still Empty On The Inside
My Marriage Is Perfect But I'm Still Empty On The Inside
My story is about a girl who has dreams and ambitions of her own but she chooses her parents' wishes over her dreams.
One fine day, my mother said that they were finding a suitable match for me. Initially, I was hesitant, but I agreed eventually.
Actually, the main reason why I agreed was because my father was struggling with a kidney disease and he wanted to see me married before his eyes. So, I agreed.
My parents were very cool, they never said anything to me especially when it came to my choice in education or job. I worked in the events industry. They knew I was happy, and I was happy when I got recognition in my work. Then one day, they finally said they had found the right match. I met him.
We met. He was sweet, kind-hearted and caring. I liked him and he liked me back. We agreed to get married and our roka was done. I had to put in my resignation papers because my office was really far from my husband's place. Before marriage, I had made it clear that I would continue working, and he had agreed.
We got married and after one month, I was looking for a job and he said that I should reach home by 6 in the evening.
At that point, I was taken aback because he said he understood the nature of my job. I tried to make him realize that it was not possible for me in this industry but I could make it by 8.
We had a lot of arguments and fights over this topic. I also cried a lot because I never thought that he would be like this. During this time, I found out that I was pregnant. I was happy, but I still felt my independence was slipping away.
Now we have been married for 7 years. I am blessed with 2 kids, a loving husband, and a great family, but I feel empty because I haven't fulfilled my dream and my ambition.
My husband supports me for everything and says that I can start afresh from next year, but I'm not sure now!

From San Antonio, TX to Stanford University, Jessica Spicer, aka Saint Spicer, has been delivering the truth to her listeners one carefully-penned song at a time.
Having spent much of her childhood moving from place to place, music quickly became a tool for Saint to ground herself, allowing her to express her innermost thoughts while practicing self-care by reflecting and looking inward. "I'm very thankful for music since I use it as a medium to understand and care for myself," she says.
Influenced by the artistry of innovative female industry icons like Nina Simone, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga, Saint Spicer combines funk and soul with silky vocals and fiercely honest lyrics to convey the realities of life—however brutal they may be—with elegance, dignity, and sincerity.
Saint Spicer's ability to tell the truth has found its way into her new single "On Repeat," a contemplative track that gives fans a peak into her love life over the past four years. "When I wrote this song, I kept returning to the moments that would repeat themselves over and over again in these various relationships—getting tea together at a coffee shop, always the same taste, the feeling of the fall season and the emotions that accompanied being in love," she explains. "And then there was the actual fall, where I realized I was taking the emotional burdens of these people and carrying them with me even though there was no reciprocity in the relationship. Once you feel that betrayal, you can never forget what it feels like. It is unforgettable. And I realized I was just repeating the same process over and over again. Each fall I would meet someone new, but repeat the same process. Life is all about cycles, but I was stuck in the same one. This is the song that helped me get 'unstuck.'"
Now based in Austin, TX, Saint Spicer finds strength in the support of her fellow musicians, who inspire her to push her writing skills to greater heights. She aims to build a community through her music and believes that everyone should be celebrated for being their best selves.
"On Repeat" is set for release March 5, 2019.

Welcome to the second part in a three part series about starting and maintaining a WordPress website! In the first part we took you though how to set up your first website With a simply step by step guide. Now we have your site hosted and domain name registered, its time to start creating and tailoring unique content for it!
A website is like a digital business card (especially the landing page) so you will want to think about your content to make it friendly for both search engines and people. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is an absolute must if you want your site to be successful. It incorporates a multitude of variations which enables Google to find your website, and in turn, enables potential clients to find you. It ranks the content on said website in regards to relevance and readability, and this runs through Google's algorithm to determine whether or not your site will display after a user has searched for similar content that your site may offer. In this guide, we will highlight three of the main factors that you should consider when optimising your website for SEO and also users themselves.
UI and UX
UI is the "user interface" which involves everything on your sites such as graphics, navigation, content, and other elements that affect the user experience (UX). In this way, UI and UX work together to create the customer journey.
This is especially important if you have an eCommerce website on WordPress where you need to guide the customer through their journey on your site to get them to the checkout process with a high success rate. Part of this strategy is in writing great content.
Where UI and UX really comes in to play in regards to SEO is how and where this 'journey' takes the user. If there is a link to your page from an external source i.e. Google, that displays a certain item that is part of a Sale, but this link takes the user to your websites homepage instead of the sale items page, then this will go against your Google ranking as the link isn't 'relevant' to the page it takes the user to. Ensuring that links take users to correct pages goes a long way to improving your chances of conversions.
To write content for both search engines and people, you need to consider your SEO by carefully choosing your 'keywords'. A keyword is a word of phrase that accurately depicts what the bulk of the content on any particular WordPress page is about. It is also heavily relied upon when a search is made by a user through Google. For example, if your web page is about Website Hosting, you should include this phrase in the content of your page to allow google to 'index' this page and help your page appear on Google searches. Of course, you can over use keywords which could ultimately degrade your google ranking, as it could disrupt the quality of content, so be smart. For more tips on SEO, read our blog on SEO strategies that work today
Aside from keywords, the content itself can be tailored to bring people back to your page. Using hyperlinks to other relevant pages of your site, and using links around the site to link back to a certain page, goes a long way to keep your users within the constraints of your site and therefore could lead to more conversions!
Keep in mind that this process takes a long time to see results, especially when starting from scratch. Perseverance and patience is key!
Know Thy Audience
Knowing your audience is significant because this means that you have a sense of their 'pain points' to identify their wants and needs to solve the problems they have.
To be able to leverage a need of a potential customer, you should first know what they fundamentally want on a basic level and work from there. For example, if someone's want is to save time while creating content for a blog, a potential solution would be to create content yourself that has links to a blog content title creator spreadsheet, that can be tailored to specific subjects to write about. this will save the writer time thinking about what to write, and even put them on a thought track to more titles that they think of on their own! This is a relatively specific example, but the idea is simple. Find what people want, and give it to them.
This in turn can create a good reputation for you with both Google and frequent visitors to your site. Of course it all depends on what you are willing to offer. if you already have a product or service that your want to put on your site and lead people too, then you can use examples of existing competitors (if any) to tailor your strategy, and to do research on the market before to see what your target audience wants.
WordPress is a great platform to use when it comes to optimising for search engines, it has many plugins available to try out that can guide you through making sure that you site gets noticed and found. Its various designs and customisable themes go a long way to improving UI and UX and making your site look beautiful, and any comments that have been made on sections of your site (that allow comments) such as a blog, which we will cover in the final addition to this series, can give you an idea of what changes you should make according to your visitors.
