If we're going to be honest, these chicken taquitos are more like miniature chicken chimichangas. They are wrapped in flour tortillas with the ends tucked in, as opposed to open-ended corn tortilla cigars. They may fall into the chimichanga family, but since their size is smaller I can see why they'd be referred to as taquitos.
Semantics aside, the resulting dish is seriously delicious. I tweaked mine a couple ways from the original version. First, I used "portion control" wheat tortillas from Whole Foods instead of the soft taco sized flour tortillas. I think this was a mistake on my part, as the tortillas were slightly stiffer than a nice, soft flour tortilla, and it was challenging to tuck in the ends properly.
I also opted to bake mine instead of frying them. This was probably a good idea since my ends weren't tucked in very well, and some of the filling leaked. The crust got pretty crispy even in the oven, and this was an easy and less-messy (and less-fattening) way to prepare this dish.
The filling is so yummy, with gooey cheese, and nicely seasoned ground chicken making up the bulk. The guacamole puree is also excellent. It's the perfect consistency for dipping. Please note, however, that by adding tomato to this pureed guacamole you will automatically lose the vibrant green color, so even if your avocado is perfectly fresh, it will get a bit muddled from the tomato.
My sister and I polished off all 6 of these taquitos in one sitting while watching football, so if you plan to share you may want to plan a larger menu than just these. They are pretty irresistible, so I'd expect them to go fast either way!
Chicken Taquitos with Guacamole Puree
Makes 6 taquitos
(From Share)
Guacamole Sauce:
1 ripe Haas avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
1 Roma (plum) tomato, seeded and chopped
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh cilantro (I used some ground coriander instead)
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons minced seeded jalapeno
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chicken Filling:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces ground chicken
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded white cheddar cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 (6-inch) taco-sized flour tortillas (standard flour tortillas, not the puffy soft taco variety) (I used 7-inch "portion control" wheat tortillas from Whole Foods, which were a little too dry and awkward to wrap; I wouldn't use them again)
Vegetable or canola oil, for shallow-frying
To make the guacamole sauce: Puree all of the ingredients (except salt and pepper) in a food processor to make a smooth sauce. This smooth guacamole is easier to use as a dip than the chunky style. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressing directly on the guacamole, and refrigerate. The guacamole can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
To make the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, stirring often and breaking up the meat with the side of the spoon, until the chicken loses its raw look, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper and red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the sugar, oregano, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir the cheese into the warm mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let cool completely. The filling can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day.
For each taquito, spoon about 3 tablespoons of the filling in a strip at the bottom third of a tortilla, leaving about 1/2-inch border at the right and left sides. Fold in the sides, then roll up the tortilla from the bottom to enclose the filling, closing the open end with a toothpick. Be sure that the ends are tucked in and the filling is not exposed. Transfer the taquitos, seam side down, to a rimmed baking sheet and loosely cover with plastic wrap. The taquitos can be refrigerated up to 4 hours ahead.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with a wire cake rack.
Pour enough oil to come 1/2 inch up the sides of a large deep skillet and heat over high heat to 350 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer. In batches, add the taquitos and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack and keep warm in the oven while frying the remaining taquitos. (Alternatively, I placed my taquitos on a baking sheet, brushed the tops and sides with oil, and baked them at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes until crispy).
Place the guacamole in a small serving bowl. Cut the taquito in thirds crosswise (seriously not necessary). Arrange taquitos on a platter, and serve immediately, allowing guests to add the sauce to their plates as desired for dipping.

A Biomass Briquetting Plant is a project that converts agro forestry waste to bio-coal. Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value. Biomass energy is on par with sun and wind energy when it comes to sustainability.
Biomass briquettes are must cheaper than other briquettes. Biomass briquettes are therefore bio fuel substitutes to charcoal and coal. Biomass Briquettes have excellent source of fuel with good thermal value. Its materials are easily available in market. Biomass briquettes have a consistent quality and it is clean to handle. Its cost is very low to compare other material like coal and fire wood. Biomass briquettes have much lower moisture content than coal or firewood.
Biomass briquette machine is also called briquette molding machine. This process has no sulfur content so there is lower risk. Biomass power can use a large variety of feedstock such as wood pellets, rice husk, biogases etc.

Temp reporting and fan control, it gets easier to do both all the time. Not long ago we brought you a look at a high dollar system that did it all but was a bit pricey. Today we look at an entry level setup that does less and more at the same time.
A few months ago I took a look at one of the upper echelon fan controllers on the market. It ran upwards of $100 but offers a nearly endless level of customization. Today I take a look at a more budget friendly unit that while not as flashy still brings a good deal of utility to the table, the Spire Digipanel. The Digipanel features a simple LCD temp/RPM display for three fans and probes, adjustable over temp alarm, set able RPM underage alarm (either off or 1000RPM) and forward dual USB, firewire and audio ports. I'll go into greater detail on these last three later.
The Digipanel comes with all the required cabling, a full set of assembly instructions and a decent surprise. It will act as a HDD cooler/5.25" bay to 3.5" bay converter.
The Digipanel brings your rearward ports forward by way of the included cables. Sadly these cables don't hook to motherboard headers but instead plug into ports on the rear of the PC. This means that if you're using all your rear USB ports you're just transferring those cables to the front of your PC. Same goes for audio. In order to use my trusty Z-560's I had to plug the mic cable into the surround port on my sound card so that I could plug the front and rear speakers into the front panel outs on the Digipanel. If you've got a 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 setup you'll just have to forego the front audio ports until you haul your rig to the local LAN hotspot. This is, of course, assuming that you're not using the SPDIF to hook up your surround system.
As you can see the added cables are rather substantial. Happily they're long enough for just about any case you care to put the Digipanel in. Sadly they'll be hanging out of the rear of your case or require you to coil them up inside the case to keep the rear clutter to a minimum.

Tips for tea party success
Invite guests well in advance
Set a date and time when you'll get the maximum number of friends, family and colleagues involved.
Plan your menu
Which foods will you serve? Will you keep it simple or go to town? Tea party favourites include sandwiches, scones, cakes, sweets and fruit. Decide in advance which tea you'll serve – a Yorkshire brew or speciality loose leaf?
Add extra sparkle
Charging for tea and cake aren't the only ways to raise money. How about holding a raffle, treasure hunt, best bake competition, herbal tea taste test or second-hand book sale, too?
Invite a celebrity
Invite along a local celebrity, your mayor or local MP. This could bring in the crowds and help you to raise even more money.
Bring out your best tea service
Set a lovely table and bring out your teacups, saucers and infusers, together with small spoons, forks, plates and napkins.
Thank your guests
Follow up by letting your guests know how much you've raised and how it will help JDRF to fund vital research to find the cure for type 1 diabetes.
Pay in your donations and share your success
Remember if you're an early bird fundraiser you'll stand a chance to win your height in tea! Pay your donations in online at our Donate page, post updates to your social media to celebrate and share your story for our blog.

I was in our lift with two lads.
Person 1: The lift is still not working. I don't know why be pay our f***ing body corporate fees.
Person 2: Always problems with the lift.
1: I don't know what they do. The lift is always breaking down. Did you see what they did to the f***ing foyer. They put in a new couch.
2: They gutted it (the foyer) didn't they?
1: Nothing wrong with the old couch. F***ing useless c*****. And what about that new treadmill in the gym? How much did that f***ing well cost?
2: Yeah.
I said nothing. I did not press the door close button on the lift so I could see which apartment they went to. But I am not a quick verbal thinker on my feet. Here is what I should have said.
I am not a committee member but I know how many hours they put in for the benefit of this building, and it is a lot. There are good reasons why apartments in this building sell for $100,000 more than they do in the blocks next door, and the dedicated and active committee is a major reason. Your asset is being protected. And for your information, none of the committee people are lift technicians and cannot fix the lift. The part is coming from Canada to repair the lift, after attempts to source it more cheaply in Sydney failed. That is nothing to do with the committee anyway. The treadmill was a bargain at $3000 when a new one would cost around $13,000. It is commercial quality and there was a strong demand for it.
It hurts you know. I can't help but think the big mouth knew I had a connection to the committee and was making a point. He was clearly a nasty piece of work and I shouldn't take any notice. If he is who I think he is, he doesn't pay the body corp fees anyway. His mother does.

So it's that time of the year again, time to switch over my wardrobe from Autumn/Winter to Spring/Summer. I decided to add a few items to freshen everything up for the warmer months! You may have seen some of these in a Style post I popped up – I was lusting after a few items…
First up H&M
|H&M Statement Pieces
First is the Kimono, unfortunately I can't find this on the website…it's new. I got it for £19.99, utter bargain! Perfect for a plain black outfit, or over bright plains..well you get the idea. The pattern ankle grazer trousers – again I can't find on the website..This look lovely and oriental and help me even me look kinda delicate!
|H&M Basics
I got two of the white basics t-shirts and one of the black ones, these are always handy in the warmer months and retail for £7.99. The leggings are excellent! Really comfy, good elastic, nice on and all for £12.99.
|Statement Ring
I got this rather excellent ring for £3 in the sale – can't find it on the website!
New Look
|New Look Statement Pieces
I picked up these lovely statement pieces. First is the Longline Cream & Floral Bird print t-shirt £17.99. I love that this is so much longer at the back. The next top is the Apricot brand from New Look, unfortunately I can't find it on the website. This is a lovely boxy top and it has wide sleeves. (I'm actually wearing it in the video so you can have a closer look).
|New Look Basics
More basics, this is a black short sleeved t-shirt for £6.99. I'm more excited about this voile maxi skirt, I have hunted for a long time for a black skirt that was long enough to graze the floor while sitting nicely, I think I've finally found it with this skirt! Not bad at £14.99.
|Primark Statement Pieces and Basics
Firstly, how fabulous is this boxy jacket? I had to size up for this jacket – which worked out in my favour as there was only a 14 and an 8 left when I was in Primark. I bought this for £19.99 I think and I love it. The scarf was a bargain at £3 and the basics t-shirt was about the £3 mark too. I think the jacket was the find of my day! Utterly love it!
|Pull & Bear Shirt
Finally I found this mint shirt from Pull & Bear. I've been searching for an oversized minty shirt, I was delighted when I seen this on a mannequin, of course I couldn't find it in the women section. I asked a shop assistant and I was told it was a mans' shirt! So of I trot and tried on multiple sizes and ended up with an XL size. I love it!
Thanks for reading!

Many of us have been to various capital cities in Asia such as Bangkok, Beijing, Tokyo etc. Whilst these are incredible places to visit, and host a large number of tourists per year (for a reason!), there other great cities of Asia out there on the rise and hungry for tourists. Make sure you don't miss them out on your Asian adventure travels!
Here are some lesser-known cities that absolutely should be on your "travel to do" list.
5. Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Phnom Penh is certainly not a "road less travelled" kind of place. Many people pass through on their way to other parts of Cambodia. However, tourists never seem to actually sit back and take in the city. It has a reputation amongst backpackers as "boring" and that could definitely be the case if you comparing it to neighbouring Bangkok. Phnom Penh has a few interesting sites worth checking out that will make you think long and hard, such as the genocide museum and the killing fields. Where this place shines, however, is its bar a restaurant scene. Because many people quickly pass through, they fail to find the amazing and often super hip places that are not located in the backpacker district. Due to its thriving expat community, you can find all kinds of amazing home comforts for a ridiculously low price. This city is the perfect place if you want to experience culture, food , a good night out and all at a slow pace and low cost. We recommend next time you're in Southeast Asia, don't just pass through, spend time and explore the city and you might be pleasantly surprised.
Join YPT on our tour to the Killing Fields including both Phnom Penh and Siem Riep.
Click here for more info.
4. Almaty, Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan's largest city and former capital is a great starting point for anyone planning to travel through Central Asia. Over the past few years, like anywhere nowadays, gentrification has truly set in. Hipster coffee shops are popping up like daisies, cool bars are becoming more common and the restaurants will have you eating like a King! Almaty is now easily accessible with Kazakhstan's new visa regime allowing 15 days visa free for about 40 countries. Even better is their recent currency devaluation, which for the average Kazakh is not so good, but for a tourist looking for a cheap destination, it gets top marks.
Want to see a live rocket launch? Join YPT on our epic Baikonur Cosmodrome Tour.
3. Irkutsk, Russia
Located in Eastern Siberia, Irkutsk is the gateway to visiting Lake Baikal, one of the most spectacular natural wonders out there. Irkutsk itself has blossomed since the fall of the Soviet Union, maintaining many of its scientific institutions turning it into a sort of Siberian student town. That means Irkutsk has a shockingly modern face for a city in the absolute middle of nowhere. Beautiful architecture along streets like Karla Marksa host a range of new super cool restaurants and bars that resemble back alleys of Melbourne or San Francisco. All this with some great low price tags. If you're travelling through Russia on the trans-Siberian or are looking for your next stop on tour of Asia, go to Irkutsk! You won't regret it.
YPT explores Irkutsk as an individual tour or part of the Eurasian Adventure Tour.
2.Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
Another one of Central Asia's more tourist-friendly locations, Bishkek is no longer the dodgy backwater that is used to be. With amazing national parks just near the capital, Bishkek should absolutely be on your list. Just as with the abovementioned cities, gentrification has also made its way to Kyrgyzstan, slower than others for sure, but nonetheless, the sprouting of new bars and cafes is happening. With 60 day visa-free entry for most, Kyrgyzstan is a must and is one of the most beautiful countries in Asia. So if you're keen for some yurt camping, lake swimming and mountain-packed action, get yourself to Bishkek!
Click here for more information on YPT's various tours to Kyrgyzstan.
1. Yangon, Myanmar
Change is coming quickly to Yangon, and when I say quick, I mean lighting speed. Old is fast becoming mixed with the new since it has opened to the world. Historic colonial style buildings of its British past are being renovated to host department stores, cafes, bars and everything in between. If you need a few days to relax and sort out your travel plans, Yangon is a great breather. The contrast of this city is also reason enough to visit. Go to vista bar and listen to the latest top forty tunes with a beer while over-looking the golden façade of the Shwedagon and you'll see what I mean. Yangon in easily accessible from many parts of Southeast Asia, and is a necessary stop off point on your journey to the countries best-known places like Inle Lake and Bagan.
Visit Myanmar with YPT for a Christmas Adventure. Click here for more information.
YPT travels to all these destinations with expert foreign and local guides to show you how to make the most out of these less discovered cities.

45th House candidates want to improve business climate
The four Republicans running for the 45th state House seat in the March 18 primary agree Illinois' path back to prosperity begins with creating a business-friendly climate.
"Our government needs to work for its people," said Seth Lewis of Bartlett, one of the candidates. "We need to put in a system where business owners can thrive."
The candidates are vying for the seat vacated by state Rep. Dennis Reboletti, who is running for the state Senate seat Kirk Dillard is leaving in his bid for governor. The winner of the primary will advance to the November general election against Democrat Jenny Burke.
The GOP candidates are Christine Winger of Wood Dale, Daniel Brinkman of Carol Stream, T.J. Lewis of Bartlett and Seth Lewis.
Winger, a 42-year-old financial adviser, is a third-term alderman in Wood Dale with 11 years in office. She said Wood Dale's budget "always has been in the black" during her time on the board.
"I have learned how to budget correctly and plan to take those experiences to Springfield, (where they are) gravely needed," Winger said. "The way to grow Illinois is through predictability. Right now, businesses look at Illinois and it is unpredictable."
Brinkman, 26, who worked for the Illinois House for seven years as a district director and legislative assistant, agrees with his opponents that the 2011 temporary income tax increase should be allowed to expire in 2015, and regulations "choking business growth" should be rolled back. He also is in favor of a statewide forensic audit to examine the state's finances.
"Illinois has more taxing bodies than any state in the union," Brinkman said. "We need to look at which taxing bodies are working and which are not."
Seth Lewis is a 45-year-old owner of a State Farm insurance agency who said his business expertise would serve him well in Springfield. He is married to Dr. Bhavna Sharma-Lewis, superintendent of Riverside School District 96, so he said "I know I'm going down to Springfield to affect her pension."
"I would have voted for the (pension-slashing) Senate Bill 1," Lewis said. "We need to reduce our exposure with pensions. The most important thing is to prevent the shift from coming back to the local taxpayer."
T.J. Lewis, 39, has held positions in the private sector with real estate finance title and trust, in the public sector as a firefighter/paramedic and for five years in the Illinois House as a district director/legislative assistant. He said he is running for office "because of the fiscal crisis."
"What we're seeing now is these small- and medium-size businesses are not going to be able to operate within their margin," Lewis said. "We have to build more of an atmosphere in Illinois that builds trust. We have to be able to advertise to these corporations. Illinois does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem -- but soon it will turn into a revenue problem as more businesses jump ship and leave Illinois."
The 45th District includes all or parts of Addison, Bartlett, Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Hanover Park, Itasca, Roselle, Wayne, West Chicago and Wood Dale.

Last night was the first night that really felt like winter to me. I was craving something comforting for dinner and pasta is the quintessential comfort food for me. This recipe combines many comforting flavors, especially for the fall and winter seasons. Butternut squash, Tuscan kale, and spicy sausage make up the backbone of this dish and the flavors go perfectly together.
What I love most about this dish is that the butternut squash actually becomes the sauce for the pasta. It's pureed with chicken stock, mixed with some half and half and parmesan cheese and simmered until it becomes thick and creamy. I saw this idea on one of Rachael Ray's shows and thought it was genious. I love butternut squash but I've never thought to turn it into a sauce for pasta. I bet you could also use canned pumpkin puree as a substitute if you didn't have butternut squash on hand. This recipe has many different components and does require a number of steps and ingredients but it is really quite simple to follow and it's so worth it! I've broken down the ingredients and recipe into two parts – making the squash sauce, and assembling the rest of the dish (the pasta, kale & sausage). Continue reading

Although deviations in intraoperative blood pressure are assumed to be associated with postoperative mortality, critical blood pressure thresholds remain undefined. Therefore, the authors estimated the intraoperative thresholds of systolic blood pressure (SBP), mean blood pressure (MAP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) associated with increased risk-adjusted 30-day mortality.
This retrospective cohort study combined intraoperative blood pressure data from six Veterans Affairs medical centers with 30-day outcomes to determine the risk-adjusted associations between intraoperative blood pressure and 30-day mortality. Deviations in blood pressure were assessed using three methods: (1) population thresholds (individual patient sum of area under threshold [AUT] or area over threshold 2 SDs from the mean of the population intraoperative blood pressure values), (2). absolute thresholds, and (3) percent change from baseline blood pressure.
Thirty-day mortality was associated with (1) population threshold: systolic AUT (odds ratio, 3.3; 95% CI, 2.2 to 4.8), mean AUT (2.8; 1.9 to 4.3), and diastolic AUT (2.4; 1.6 to 3.8). Approximate conversions of AUT into its separate components of pressure and time were SBP < 67 mmHg for more than 8.2 min, MAP < 49 mmHg for more than 3.9 min, DBP < 33 mmHg for more than 4.4 min. (2) Absolute threshold: SBP < 70 mmHg for more than or equal to 5 min (odds ratio, 2.9; 95% CI, 1.7 to 4.9), MAP < 49 mmHg for more than or equal to 5 min (2.4; 1.3 to 4.6), and DBP < 30 mmHg for more than or equal to 5 min (3.2; 1.8 to 5.5). (3) Percent change: MAP decreases to more than 50% from baseline for more than or equal to 5 min (2.7; 1.5 to 5.0). Intraoperative hypertension was not associated with 30-day mortality with any of these techniques.
Intraoperative hypotension, but not hypertension, is associated with increased 30-day operative mortality.
Although the American Society of Anesthesiologists recommends monitoring blood pressure during surgery, the association between blood pressure deviations during surgery and mortality are confounded by lack of agreed upon definitions
In a review of more than 18,000 patients undergoing noncar diac surgery within the Veterans Administration Hospital system, application of three definitions of blood pressure deviation based on population and individual patient level data showed that hypotension but not hypertension was associated with increased 30-day mortality

Earlier this year we interviewed Tess Corkish, an impassioned young social justice activist working for Catholic Earthcare. When we heard her mother, a parish secretary in Sydney, was arrested protesting at a coal port in Newcastle we decided to get in touch with the family again to see where their spirit of activism comes from.
Tess Corkish says her activism began early. So early, neither Tess, nor her parents quite remember the first protest she attended.
'But I have a distinct memory of marching through the streets at an anti-war rally when I was about eight or nine years old and leading the chants', recalls Tess. She says she can often still be found with a megaphone in hand, leading chants and songs at protests.
Tess's parents, Maryanne Hemsley and Dr Richard Corkish, met at RMIT while doing Engineering degrees. Her mother, Maryanne Hemsley, is the parish secretary at St Joseph's Enfield, NSW. Tess's father Dr Richard Corkish is a researcher at the University of NSW and CEO of the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics and has been working to save the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, an agency that funds renewable energy, which the government has threatened to cut.
A Gospel concern
For Maryanne, there is no separation between her faith and activism. 'My faith is fundamental to my activism. I can't listen to the Gospel and hear about Jesus' concern for the poor, and warnings to the rich, and pretend that they don't provide the core Christian principles on which we will be judged at the end', she says.
Richard also points to the New Testament to prove the strong connection between activism and our Catholic faith. 'The nuns, priests and lay people that were at the forefront of the imaginative anti-war and anti-nuclear protests understood the New Testament and their actions inspired more subsequent actions than they would have dreamed', he explains.
Tess says singing with her mum at Mass, debating theology around the kitchen table, and her family's passion for faith and social justice has bonded their relationships and made her who she is. 'Faith has provided a great foundation for me to fight for justice. It's given me this burning passion and drive to right all things that are wrong and be a voice for the voiceless.'
Celebrating Mother's Day
On Mother's Day, the Corkish Hemsley family travelled to Newcastle, NSW for Break Free 2016, a protest calling for the Australian government to divest from fossil fuels to combat climate change. 'I went there not expecting to do much except hang around with a banner. In fact, the organisers told me beforehand that it probably wasn't worth me going if I wasn't going to paddle a canoe', Maryanne recalls.
But approximately 2000 people showed up to protest at Newcastle's coal port that day. In addition to kayaks blocking the port, protesters marched across one of the port's vital railway bridges. Tess joined friends in a kayak. Tess's dad, Richard, was low key as he had to travel internationally for work so couldn't risk arrest. But Maryanne, wanting to take a stand for climate change, joined the protesters on the bridge. The police didn't arrest those in kayaks, just those on the bridge – Maryanne included.
Although Maryanne says it was humiliating being arrested, Tess couldn't have been more proud of her mum. 'The photo of Mum getting arrested was one of my most popular Facebook photos ever. My heart was so full that day, and is every time I think about it', Tess proudly recounts.
For both Richard and Maryanne, the responsibility to stand up against climate change is that of concerned parents. Paraphrasing American environmentalist Bill McKibben she explains, 'It isn't fair that we leave it to the young people to fight this battle and risk the consequences (like a criminal record). This battle to change the hearts and minds of our communities belongs to all of us.'
In the end, Tess feels lucky to have a family that gets her and that she gets. 'At the risk of sounding gooey, it just makes me so happy to be able to do these sorts of things as a family, to know that I have people immediately around me who are just as passionate and disturbed by injustice and who are willing to walk and chant beside me. I'm so proud of my parent's commitments to justice and creating a better world.'

A year ago, (Yes a year. I don't procrastinate, not at all.) our friends were flying off to Perth for the holidays and insisted that while they were gone, we should take their car and go on a road trip. So Christmas day we packed up the car and pulled out onto the highway. They'd given Craig some driving-on-the-other-side-of-the-road lessons in the days previous, but he was still quite nervous. I wasn't allowed to knit, as I had to be his second set of eyes to make sure he was doing it right. He didn't really need my help, but it made him feel better.
We drove south on the A1, leaving the city behind. The freeway cuts through the wooded Royal National Park, then comes to the city of Wollongong on the other side. Keep going past the town and suddenly the landscape opens up and you're surrounded by green rolling hills. The sheer expanse of space made me feel as if I'd just been released from a small closet where I'd been kept locked up for several months. At that moment I thought, "oh, I'm not going back."
Soon we started seeing signs for kangaroo crossings. My main goal on this trip was to finally see a kangaroo! I hoped the first one I saw wasn't roadkill. We drove through places with wonderful names like Jerrawangala and Ulladulla, words I want to repeat again and again just to feel the syllables roll around in my mouth.
In late afternoon we arrived at our Airbnb rental at Dolphin point. After meeting our host and having a short rest, we walked to the nearby beach, where the waters from Stony Creek River meet the ocean. We walked down the short beach, crossed a narrow inlet onto another large expanse of sand, and across that to the lagoon. The tide was coming in, so we left our belongings a good ways up on the sand, and waded into the water. There was a sandspit on the other side that we wanted to get to and look out on the ocean from there. The river was intent on making its way to the open sea, so we lifted our legs and let it carry us. Once to the other side, we discovered it was pretty much a straight vertical climb up, and it was all we could do to hold our ground and not be swept away.
Craig wanted to go ahead and follow the current around the spit and out to sea. That didn't sound like a good idea to me. Aside from drowning, I was also worried about our cameras we'd left back on shore. A quick glance over told me we'd better hurry back. The water was close to lapping at our cameras now. Even swimming across the current rather than trying to swim against it was obviously going to take me far from where I was trying to go. We eventually made it, just in the nick of time. By this point, the "large expanse of sand" was a small island.
According to my itinerary, the next day was when I would finally see a kangaroo. We set off for Pebbly Beach, known for the abundant kangaroo population. The beach was mostly deserted except for other folks who read the same reviews of the beach that I did. On the way back from the loo, one went hopping by and was gone before I realized what was happening. I spoke to a local who told me that, indeed, it was a big kangaroo hot spot, but they usually show up for four o'clock happy hour. So we decided to continue our trek south to see what we could find.
At Batemans Bay we found Birdland Animal Park and my new boyfriend Gabe.
Craig found a different kind of friend.
And wallabies!
The next day we turned back north and drove to Jervis Bay to our next Airbnb. It was a just perfect size tiny cabin in our hosts' backyard, surrounded by flowers and chickens. Our hosts recommended Orient Post Bakehouse for truly amazing fish and chips, and invited us by in the evening for a drink. That's one of the things we appreciate about Airbnb, is the chance to meet people and make new friends. We ended up staying until midnight or later drinking wine and chatting with our hosts, two other Airbnb guests from Germany, staying in a caravan out front, plus two of the hosts' friends from Ireland who were there visiting.
The next day we went to Hyams Beach, where it's said to have the whitest sand around. Hmmm. Not exactly white, but it was a gorgeous beach! On the way to the beach, we stopped off at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum in Huskisson. A year later I don't remember everything that we saw, but I know I found it interesting and there were lots of things from boats and an old ferry.
For lunch we went to Greenwell Point for oysters. There are several stands were you can buy oysters shucked and served with lemon. And we're told that there are people just on the side of the road selling them too. We did see some signs, but apparently they were sold out. It's a popular attraction, so go early if you want oysters.
There are lots of fishing boats around, and that attracts one of my favorite birds. I got such a kick out of this greedy guy. All that mess he's swallowing looks painful, doesn't it?
Next up, we visited Currarong to find the shipwreck. At the beginning of the trail we found this obsidian black river. Somebody told us that it's the tannin from the tea trees that turns the water black.
At the end of the trail we found the shipwreck. On a stormy night of March 27, 1928 the S.S. Merimbula ran aground at Whale Point. The next morning, the fourteen passengers and 35 crew members rowed safely ashore. These are the remains that have washed up here.
Following Lighthouse Road down to the southern tip of the Currarong peninsula we found Point Perpendicular Lightstation. For awhile we were the only people there. It was so quiet, the only sounds coming from the wind and sea and gulls. The late afternoon sun was glorious.
Finally, it was time to go search out some dinner. Nowra is the nearest town of any size and most likely to have a few restaurants to choose from. We learned something about Christmas week in Australia. Everything is closed. Well, not quite everything. We did find an Indian restaurant that hit the spot.
On the final day of our holiday, we thought we'd make one last side journey on our way home. We drove over the twisty windy roads of Cambewarra Range to arrive at Kangaroo Valley. We had brought along a little picnic and stopped to dine beside this peaceful river.
This Christmas, we're heading south again. This time we'll have home base at Batemans Bay, and take some short trips from there. I'll try real hard not to wait another year before I post pics!
Happy holidays to all!

The Spin
These are the words that let tennis fans know that a match is about to start. For Venus Williams, she was like most of us who hear the alarm clock, decide to hit it and say just one minute more please.
There is no doubt that Venus' first round opponent, Swiss Miss Belinda Bencic was on her game. We saw that during her Hopman Cup matches. Her net game was much improved. she was fitter than before she had her injury layoff but what impressed a lot of people was her return of serve. Prior to her injury layoff, Bencic would routinely lose matches and one key stat was her inability to return serve. One cannot forget her suffering through 15 aces by Sharapova at the Australian Open in 2016.
Venus on the other hand could not get a read on Bencic's serve. She had multiple break point opportunities to get even in the first set and while most of those opportunities had to do with Bencic serving her way out of trouble, it also had to do with Venus' sluggishness.
Last year another great champion got taken to task for skipping the whole clay season to focus on the grass season. This was a decision that paid off in the end as Federer ended up winning Wimbledon. Perhaps the time has come for Venus to start scheduling smarter. I am sure that Serena was quite upset about not being able to defend her title here this year but she took the view that it was better that she return when she is able to compete effectively rather than just seeking to defend points.
Venus needs to take that same view. The Australian Open is a tournament at which Venus has had some shocking losses. She has made the finals twice in her long and storied career and frankly I would not miss her if she never played it again. I think Venus and her team need to take the long view when it comes to her schedule. She is not a young player. She has health issues and in my honest opinion, if Venus expects to win big tournaments or any tournament she needs to schedule better. If that means dropping tournaments that are too close to the end of the season or too close to the start of the season then she needs to drop them. I believe she should start her season in the spring by playing smaller tournaments to get match fit.
American Carnage
They kept dropping like flies. Sloane, Venus, Coco, Falconi, Kenin, and Townsend. The men were not to be left out as both Jack Sock and John Isner were both sent packing (MAGA). Even Ryan Harrison barely made it through as Dudi Sela served for the match, but failed to do so.
Sloane Stephens has not won a match since winning at the US Open last season. In her match against Zhang, Stephens served for the match at 5-4 in the second set but would go on to lose the set in a tiebreak, get broken early in the third set and seemed to tire at the end. Reduced to chasing balls and being pulled from side to side, Stephens would try drop shots that did not make their over the net, and the constant looking at her coach for guidance became the hallmark of the rest of the match.
As someone else has opined elsewhere, the worst thing to ever happen to Sloane Stephens was winning the US Open. It is a travesty that similar to Kim Clijsters who returned to the Tour in 2009 rested and refreshed only to win the US Open that year, Stephens returned to the WTA Tour, recovering from a knee injury and returned refreshed and renewed.
Australian Open App
Usually, I never write about these things because I find it quite tiring but I have to register my disgust with the Australian Open App. It does not work. No live scoring. No results. No schedule. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Millions of dollars have been spent. A draw ceremony that left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Maybe the Australian Open has lost its way. Hopefully, the same amount of effort that went into getting Sharapova to stand there and smile and answer questions about "returning" to the Tour will be made into getting an app that actually does what it is supposed to do.
Day 2 Schedule
The top half of the draw plays today and the Spin's picks are below:
Rod Laver Arena
Pliskova (Ka) v. Cepede Royg
Barty v. Sabalenka
Halep v. Alava
Margaret Court
Witthoeft v. Garcia (picking the higher ranked player but maybe an upset in the making if Garcia is not 100%)
Maria v. Sharapova (less said about this match up the better)
Muguruza v. Ponchet
Konta v. Brengle
Kerber v. Friedsam (confidence is everything)
Court 2
Bouchard v. Dodin (while Dodin has not had much match play, Bouchard is not the picture of match toughness these days. It could very well be that Bouchard finds her game as she usually plays well in Australia. Pick at your own risk)
Petkovic v. Kvitova (which Petra shows up and has Petkovic peaked?)
Court 3
Safarova v. Tomljanovic
Mladenovic v. Bogdan (surely Kiki can get her game together on the big stage, but her first round opponent has a big game and is fearless. Look for the upset here)
Court 5
Jabeur v. Vesnina
Vikhlyantseva v. Tsurenko
Court 7
Cabrera v. Haddad Maia
Giorgi v. Kalinskaya (my dark horse pick to make it to week 2)
Court 8
Wang v. Keys
Pliskova (Kr) v. Radwanksa (it's a Major, surely Aga will get her life together? The less famous Pliskova beat her earlier this year)
Court 10
Lucic-Baroni v. Rogers (one is injured, the other is in a bit of slump. Look for the slumping player to take this one)
Osaka v. Kucova (new coach, new outlook. Let us see if Big Sascha has what it takes to be a coach)
Court 12
Nara v. Vondrousova
Hibino v. Vekic (very tough match for Vekic who struggled in Hobart against Heather Watson. Let us see if the resurgent Vekic's loss in Hobart was an anomaly)
Court 13
Lepchenko v. Sevastova
Putintseva v. Watson
Court 14
Ahn v. Strycova
Davis v. Cepelova (Lauren Davis has virtually disappeared since winning her lone WTA title last season in Auckland. Cepelova has been beset with injuries. This will be a match of who wants to get to the second round more)
Court 15
Gasparyan v. Blinkova
Hsieh v. Zhu
Court 19
Cirstea v. Diyas (Cirstea has been enjoying a fantastic resurgence. Can she make it past the very tough when she is on her game Diyas?)
Hercog v. Alexandrova
Court 20
McHale v. Sasnovich
Court 22
Arruabarrena v. Hogenkamp (neither player has shown good form over the past 12 months. Arruabarrena has regressed to obscurity. If she is on Hogenkamp will be sent packing, but I don't see it)

A new product for me that I want to write about today is a non-stick silicone baking mat by Greenco. I tend to try to limit the number of kitchen accessories that I own due to the size of my kitchen, so I have never had or used one of these. Now I got a few for reviews, I am so happy. I think these are a must to have in the kitchen.
I have used these particular mats for baking chicken and cookies so far. The first time I baked the chicken it was shocking because the chicken was not stuck at all to the mat! It was great! So easy to enjoy your chicken when you know you are getting all the skin to yourself, and not leaving it on your foil. Also, the cleanup (which is usually an issue for me as I am lazy, if you have read my blog enough by now) is so easy because nothing is stuck to the mat, so no need to scrub – saves a lot of time. The mat does become quite oily, so it does need to be washed still (bummer, man, when are they gonna make mats and dishes that are self-cleaning! this is the 21st century!)
Really, except for I wish everything in the world was self-cleaning, I don't really have any concerns, happy that there are two mats that come in this set.

It has since combined day-to-day operations with its sister paper, The Turlock Journal, in Turlock. Jeff Benziger was appointed Editor in 1987. There is also a Spanish-language paper.
Ceres hosts annual events at different times of the year. Spring brings the Ceres Street Faire on the first weekend in May. Concert in the Park is a regular summer event. Halloween Fun Festival marks the Fall followed by the colorful, and much-attended, Christmas Tree Lane opening ceremony.
The first non-native families that inhabited Ceres were those of John Service, Cassius Warner, and Daniel Whitmore in the year 1867. Daniel C. Whitmore is considered the first family and founder of Ceres. He built his home in 1870, the Whitmore Mansion at 2928 5th Street. That home still stands, fully restored by the city and the Ceres Historical Society.[8]
In the early 1890s, the outlaws Chris Evans and John Sontag robbed a Southern Pacific Railroad train at Ceres and several other area locations.[9]
In the late 1930s, a labor camp was developed within the city of Ceres.[10]
The history of Ceres is recounted in Arcadia Publishing Company's Images of America series entitled, "Ceres, by Jeff Benziger. It was released on August 23, 2010.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Ceres has a total area of 8.0 sq mi(20.8 km²), 99.9% of it land and 0.1% of it water. The formation of alluvial fans in the San Joaquin Valley has led to a rather flat regional geography. There are no known active earthquake fault traces in the project vicinity. (Earth Metrics, 1989) Hydrological feature mapping of the Ceres area has been conducted by the U. S. Geological Survey. (USGS, 2003)

Who is shaping what your kids believe?In these busy, hectic days we take our kids to sports practices, games, music lessons, school tutoring and other activities to give our children the best opportunities for success. But what if we're missing the chance to teach them what matters most?
Our children can grow up smart, athletic, popular and polite but lack a vibrant relationship with Christ. The few hours they spend in church each week can be helpful, but it cannot nurture a faith in our kids that will withstand the trials that are on the horizon. Church alone cannot teach them, we must start at home. But many parents feel ill equipped to develop the faith of their children.
In these six sessions, we will explore biblical and tangible ways that parents—couples, single parents, blended families and grandparents—can build a legacy of faith for their children.
Each session includes interviews with everyday parents talking about their own doubts, fears and desires. Gary Thomas, Matt Chandler, and Kurt and Olivia Bruner provide powerful teaching that will help you give your kids what they need to build a solid framework for lifelong faith.
Six video-driven sessions:
Session 1 - Faith: It Starts At Home (38 min.)
Session 2 - Marriage: Your Children Are Watching (27 min.)
Session 3 - Relationships: Your First Priority (31 min.)
Session 4 - Truth: What Are Your Kids Learning? (26 min.)
Session 5 - Communication: Each Child is Unique (26 min.)
Session 6 - Character: Preparing Your Kids For the Real World (26 min.)
This series includes 8 real-life stories, 6 filmed Family Night Activity examples, and 6 original illustrations including:
A downloadable Leader's Guide will be available for purchase. Group handouts will be made available online for free.
Visit www.ItStartsAtHome.org for more parenting resources and tools.
Powerful, biblical teaching from:
Gary Thomas is a best-selling author and international speaker whose titles include, Pure Pleasure, Sacred Parenting, Sacred Influence and Devotions for Sacred Parenting. Gary has also brought thousands of married couples closer together through his popular Sacred Marriage seminars.
Matt Chandler serves as Lead Pastor of The Village Church in Highland Village, Texas. Matt is a sought after teacher and speaker at conferences. Alongside his current role as lead pastor, Matt is involved in church planting efforts both locally and internationally through The Village and various strategic partnerships.
Kurt and Olivia Bruner co-founded Heritage Builders to provide practical tools to parents to give the next generation a strong legacy. Kurt serves as Pastor of Spiritual Formation at Lake Pointe Church and is the author of books including It Starts At Home and the best-selling Family Night Tool Chest series. Olivia is the author of The Minivan Years and speaks to moms about the hectic joys of parenthood.

I Fell Asleep Thinking of a Title for this Post
9 comments:
I don't even like being around my exhausted, grumpy, smelly self after long travel days. I can't imagine having to suck it up and take care of kids too. Hope you get some much needed rest soon!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 21, 2012 at 3:55 AM
Hmmm. Your mom told me the kids slept well and the trip was good. Interesting...ReplyDelete
- Karin ChaseMay 21, 2012 at 2:34 PM
Sleep any moment you can grabReplyDelete
sleep depping - shudder. it's brutal, you're right. and this post is all the more wonderful given the conditions (guantanamo-esque) under which you wrote it. as fuel to your "no international travel with kids," I offer my son's response to me saying "we're going on safari in kenya!" he says (without looking up from his electronic gadget du jour) "am I going to have to poop in a hole?"ReplyDelete
lovely. such a global perspective. ratfink.
Hilarious! You have reminded me of my travels with Edem. He is a fabulous travel, when he doesn't puke all over me, 8 hours into a 32 hour journey. Oh, the joys.ReplyDelete
You poor thing! But you were still coherent enough to make me laugh out loud with this one: "Confess to 2 terrorist attacks and a failed coup attempt." Been there. EllenReplyDelete
This is my new favorite post. HIlarious!ReplyDelete

Hi there! We are the Johnson's, founders of Live Pure Body Care.
After overcoming several health challenges naturally, my husband and I became passionate about getting rid of the toxins in our home, while re-imagining the products we use on our bodies.
Live Pure Body Care is a collection of products we meticulously created for a healthier life. Thank you for taking the time to connect with us, and we look forward to serving you clean personal care products!
Moisturizing Skin Care Salve + more great skin care options!
Moisturizing Skin Care Salve nourishes and repairs the skin, bringing life to your body's largest organ.
This salve's benefits are numerous:
- Great for rejuvenating tired skin
- Helps bring down inflammation of bruises
- Helps with acne, blemishes
- Perfect for moisturizing dry skin
- Great first aid salve, helping mend broken skin
Moisturizing Skin Care Salve is gently infused with herbal oils of comfrey leaf, arnica flower, yarrow, chickweed, and calendula flowers in a natural base of extra virgin olive oil and hemp seed oil. The Salve is blended in smooth organic beeswax and includes the essential oils of cooling peppermint and nurturing lavender oil. Preserved in all natural grapefruit seed extract and neem oil.
Also try our Soothing Detoxifying Clay Mask:
Soothing Detoxifying Clay Mask is a four part mixture of absorbent and detoxifying clays and roots. After application, the skin will feel rejuvenated and clear.
- Moroccan Clay acts as a drawing agent, pulling impurities from the skin's pores.
- Bentonite Clay helps absorb impurities, and helps improve circulation.
- Activated Charcoal is very absorbent, binding to toxins and removing them from the skin.
- Turmeric root powder contains the antioxidant curcumin, to help combat skin aging.
Mix 1tsp of powdery product with clean water to form a mud mask.
Apply to a small area of skin and rub in.
Let stand for 20 minutes, allowing the ingredients to absorb and pull toxins from the skin.
Wash with soap and warm water, thoroughly rinsing the mud mask from the skin.
Personal testimony: This product effectively pulls out the poisonous oil and resin from blistering poison ivy, sumac and oak rashes, speeding up the healing process.
Another great skin care option:
Choose from our favorite selection of essential oils:
- Peppermint
- Tea Tree
- Rosemary
All essential oils are bottled in 1 oz glass vials with dropper dispenser.
All essential oils are 100 percent therapeutic grade - no artificial fragrances or fillers!
*We do not compromise purity with essential oils; therefore, the scientific name and country of origin is marked for each variety. Essential oils are used for medicinal purposes in aromatherapy and topically on the skin. We do not provide guidance on ingestion/dosages, leaving that determination up to the individual.
Deodorant (Aluminum-free)
Live Pure Holistic Deodorant
Live Pure Deodorant addresses body odor holistically and doesn't introduce endocrine disrupting chemicals or toxic elements into the pores. Toxic mainstream anti-perspirants use aluminum salts to block the pores and are full of hormone-disrupting chemicals such as phthalates, parabens, and artificial fragrances.
Additional reading: is your deodorant drugging you daily with this neurotoxin?
Live Pure Deodorant is free from all synthetic chemicals and allows the pores to breathe freely, permitting the lymph system of the human body to function naturally. The arrowroot in this formula helps to dry the armpits, instead of blocking the natural process of sweating.
Live Pure Deodorant utilizes baking soda and anti-microbial essential oils to address the source of the odor – odor-causing bacteria. The glands in the armpits secrete fatty acids that certain species of bacteria like to feed upon. This releases various odors emanating from your armpits. Live Pure Deodorant helps your armpits re-establish their natural microbiome, helping remove the bacteria that cause the stink.
Most natural deodorants contain petroleum byproducts such as propylene glycol. Live Pure Deodorant has just the right amount of hemp seed and coconut oil for smooth application and to help replenish the pores and nourish the skin.
Instructions: Apply to underarms gently. Allow applied product time to dry before making contact with clothing. Coconut oil can stain certain clothing. To remove coconut oil stain, sprinkle stained area with baking soda and put in washer on max heat setting.
Choose from these great options:
- Lavender
- Tea Tree
- Spearmint Clove
- Lemon
- Orange and Bergamot
Sun Care Creme (Natural Protection w/ zinc and red raspberry)
Live Pure Sun Care Cream is a smooth blend of natural, antioxidant-rich ingredients that moisturize and replenish the skin. These ingredients also have gentle SPF properties that help the skin assimilate the sun rays. These ingredients include coconut oil, Shea butter, golden jojoba oil, extra virgin olive oil, and the highest-rated SPF ingredient - red raspberry seed oil.
This unique Sun Care Cream is also effective because it includes zinc oxide (non-nano). Zinc oxide is a safe and environmental-friendly mineral alternative to the chemicals blockers used in mainstream sunscreens. Zinc oxide is proven to block both UVA and UVB rays. Also, since its non-nano, it doesn't embed into the pores of the skin and disrupt cellular processes.
Sun Care Cream comes in three refreshing scent options: lavender, fennel, or frankincense. All three essential oils replenish the skin and provide a gentle aromatherapy effect. This Crème also contains beeswax, giving the sunscreen greater stability in high heat. It's also packaged in a leak-proof container.
The Sun Care Cream is intended to be rubbed in thoroughly, before sun exposure, every hour, and after sun exposure. The antioxidants and minerals of the Sun care Crème moisturize and nourish the skin after sun exposure to prevent skin damage.
Mainstream sprays and lotions aren't applied evenly, aren't fully absorbed and wash off easily, lending to their ineffectiveness. Sun Care Crème is a hands-on rubbing crème that can be applied thoroughly.
In cases of long duration sun exposure or in high UV index climates, Live Pure Body Care advises that you wear a hat and protective clothing. For these discretionary reasons, we are not responsible for misuse of Sun Care Crème product or any incidental sunburn. An individual's ability to assimilate sunlight depends on factors outside our control. For example; some people increase their skin's protective abilities through consumption of antioxidant-rich foods.
Not only does The Sun Care Crème protect the skin from sun damage, but it also protects the body's endocrine system from hormone disrupting chemicals. According to the Environmental Working Group, common chemicals in mainstream sunscreens such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, octisalate, octocrylene, or avobenzone, may cause skin allergy or disrupt a person's hormones. Since these chemicals negatively affect the endocrine system, they may interfere with the skin's natural production of vitamin D, which is essential for the immune system.
Additional reading: common sunscreen chemicals disrupt your hormones, can lead to endometriosis, low sperm count
Live Pure Body Care supports wise sun exposure and natural Vitamin D production within the skin. We support short intermittent exposure to the sun to obtain optimal daily vitamin D levels. Sun Care Crème doesn't include any chemicals that mess with this natural process. It's been proven that (such as astaxanthin), can help the body absorb the sun's rays more effectively.
This product is made to last in high heat, but should be kept in the coolest conditions possible. If it is left in a very hot vehicle, the contents may liquefy. To bring the crème back to stability, return to a cold environment, like a cooler or refrigerator. The contents will stay intact up to 100 degrees F.
This product is safe for the environment. In Hawaii, the chemicals from mainstream sunscreen are actually killing off the reef. The legislature is considering a ban on these chemicals. Live Pure Sun Care Crème is free from these chemicals and is therefore safe for the reefs and your body.
Here's what Rachel from Holistically Heal Mission said about this product: "Sunscreen was amazing. Brae (my daughter) has really never had sun exposure and only got a little pink with a cute tan in the intense FLORIDA sun for two weeks! And she's very light skinned like her daddy...I also loved that if it accidentally got near her eye or she licked around her mouth, I didn't have to worry. For me, I didn't use sunscreen the first few days, but got pretty crispy one day so I started using your sunscreen to block further burn. I think it prevented me from peeling by re-nourishing my skin:-) I put it on after being burned and it didn't hurt to be in the sun like usual when you are burned so from that I know it was effectively blocking..."
Bug Resistance (Lemon Eucalyptus Mosquito Repellent)
Bug Resistance (Lemon-Eucalyptus-based)
Bug Resistance Spray is a pure bug repellent that does not contain harmful chemicals such as Deet (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide). Read more about the dangers of Deet.
Live Pure Bug Resistance is made with proven bug-repelling essential oils, including lemon, palmarosa, peppermint, lemon-eucalyptus, clove bud, and cedar wood. The most effective oil in this formula is lemon eucalyptus, a species of eucalyptus that contains a clinically proven mosquito repellent compound, p-menthane 3,8-diol or PMD. Read more about the effectiveness of lemon-eucalyptus essential oil.
These bug-repelling essential oils offer broad spectrum insect protection by interfering with the bug's senses. Castor oil helps the oils stay on the skin longer and witch hazel is cooling and beneficial for the skin.
Live Pure Bug Resistance is safe for kids and the whole family and comes in a handy 4oz spray bottle.
Get the best deal by purchasing a 3 pack Bug Resistance for the entire family.
Or experiment with your own formulas and pick up a bottle of our pure lemon essential oil or clove bud essential oil.
Our essential oils are 100 percent therapeutic grade.

STOCKHOLM, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Defence firm Saab on Tuesday unveiled plans to raise 6 billion Swedish crowns ($665 million) to bolster its financial muscles in the wake of big contract wins that have swelled its order backlog in recent quarters.
The Swedish company said it needed a stronger balance sheet to develop the large projects in its order book, invest in research and development, and to compete for new extensive contracts.
"Large orders also imply initially increased investments in production and working capital, and at the same time the rapid technology development entails continued investments in research and development," Saab said in a statement.
"Saab therefore needs a strong financial position to create room for continued growth".
The company has developed the T-X trainer aircraft with Boeing, recently ordered by the U.S. Air Force, while large projects in its backlog include orders from Sweden and Brazil for its Gripen E fighter jet.
Saab said shareholders representing 58.9 percent of votes, including major owners Investor AB and the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, supported the rights issue.
The Stockholm-based company reported a 22 percent rise in order intake to 4.52 billion crowns in the third quarter, while its adjusted operating income was 237 million, down from 369 million in the year-ago quarter.
The firm said it booked non-recurring costs of 298 million crowns related to efficiency measures in the quarter.
"They include operating efficiencies and a plan to adapt the product portfolio, improve marketing efficiency and increase the digitisation of internal processes," Saab said.
The company stood by its 2018 outlook for organic sales growth of 5 percent and a higher adjusted operating margin and said it expected continued strong demand for its products as well as increasing defence budgets in most markets.

I am a portrait and wedding photographer located near Moncton, NB. I have a small portrait studio in Hillsborough (about 30 minutes outside of Moncton) where I do my studio work, but I am always more than willing to travel to wherever is important to you for on-location sessions. Making your photos personal to you is important, so hit me up with your best ideas. There is nothing I love more than getting behind the camera and creating beautiful images for you.
Here are a few other random facts about me:
- I am a momma to two girls – Ella, 11 and Lily, 9
- I've been married to my husband, Shawn, for over 13 years, but we've been together for over 20
- I've converted Shawn into a weekend photographer, so we always shoot weddings together
- I have a serious chocolate addiction
- I love to travel and have a long list of places I want to visit someday
- I love summer, the beach, and camping (yes, in a tent!)
- I never dreamed I'd be a photographer, but now I couldn't imagine doing anything else!

|Keychain - another one of Clara's designs, this is very cute. If you are after those "stocking filler" type gifts, this would certain be perfect.
|Digital image - Clara's artist skills extend to creating her own digital images, these are great when making your own cards.
This is what Clara's husband said about her work "Each one is a labour of love - trust me, I know. My wife sites and works on these for hours to make sure they are 'just right'. " Dan, you are spot on!!
|I wanted to share with you the tote I bought - isn't this so pretty.
