An odd thing to be blogging about this rather wet Tuesday in Feb, but hey - I'm going with it! I've been seeking inspiration for my impending (tiny) bathroom makeover, in particular - sinks.
Take a look at my top picks below (none of which would actually fit in said bathroom), but they're rather beautiful none-the-less.
I'm going to have to go for a wall-mounted option to free up that valuable floor space and am looking for something with a vintage feel in black and copper. If you've seen anything that fits the bill, let me know won't you. x
Had enough of the grey skies and the dull hues of January? Never fear, this weekend we welcome in February and the return of colour! Hoorah!

A thriving local economy can have such an impact on our everyday life. It makes our area a nicer place to live, meaning more new businesses will succeed, which in turn will mean people are better off and have more money to spend - some of which will be spent back in the local community and so it goes around again......
Businesses that are independently owned, that create local employment and that use local suppliers all play a really powerful part in helping our local economy and we should support them all when we can. Of course, we have a vested interest in promoting local spending, but it's about more than just FROM. It's about spending locally within Thame, and within Oxfordshire and Bucks as a whole.
Here's ten compelling reasons for you to shop locally today......
1.) Keep your money circulating in the local economy
2.) Help to retain the character of your local area
3.) Nobody wants to look at empty, abandoned shop windows
4.) You will be reducing your carbon imprint
5.) You will be helping to protect local jobs
6.) Local businesses know their customers personally and you get better customer service
7.) Local business owners are REAL people whose children go to local schools, churches, parks etc and they CARE
8.) Local businesses are at the heart of your community and everyone needs a community
9.) Local businesses invest back into the community
10.) Diversity = more customer choice
Here at FROM HQ, we firmly believe that it's the curiosities that make a house a home and that's why we love a bit of mismatching furniture in the world of design and interiors!
I'm currently updating my dining table - well actually, I'm not, I'm just updating the chairs and the theme I am going for is 'MISMATCH'.
Some of my favourite pieces of inspiration are below but my main aims are to:
1.) Keep my existing oak table
2.) Not to pay for any of the chairs (or pay very little)
3.) Find something to tie the theme together i.e all chairs made from the same material, made in the same period, or different chairs but same colour etc....
4.) Keep all the chairs at a consistant height, I don't want mealtimes to become a circus act!
What do you think? Has anyone achieved this look at home already? Drop us a line if so >>>>
Now's probably a good time to pause to reflect and pay homage to our bestselling Christmas products - in particular this heart shaped pomander FROM Branche d'Olive. We (and you guys) couldn't get enough of them. At one point we were taking pre-orders and reserving stock via twitter and suchlike, so these little trinkets really were creating a buzz over the festive period.
I think one of the things folk like about these silver hearts is the fact that they are so versatile, slightly vintage (pomanders were one of the earliest forms of aromatherapy) and of course oh-so-pretty. I am sure they could be wonderfully incorportated into a winter wedding somehow......if anyone does have any plans to do this, please let us know!
Every so often a trend comes along that not only looks good, but it's genuinely oh-so-cheap to create. No strings attached....well maybe a few strings as the trend I am talking about is paper pom-poms. Currently taking the world of interiors, gifts, weddings and parties by storm, these beautiful, delicate hand-made pieces can be used as table centrepieces, wrapping accessories of even as stand-alone decorations in your childrens bedroom or nursery. They look simply exquisite against a neutral backdrop and my favourites come in shades of peaches and pinks, but you can have any colour you desire.
Here's a few of my favourite images from pinterest, and here's a link to a wonderful DIY tutorial via Martha Stewart.com >>>>
P.S If you don't fancy having a go at making these yourself, they're still cheap as chips to buy from ebay Etsy and Folksy.
Juliet Thornback and Delia Peel met in 2003 whilst working as a florist (Thornback) and theatre designer (Peel). They set up a studio together in 2006 at Cockpit Arts, London and now create beautiful, intricate screen-printed pieces for the home.
Their work is inspired by an eclectic mixture of Victoriana, Mrs Beeton's household management, Mr McGregor's garden, 17th century microscope imagery of the natural world, Norfolk and Devon. Thornback & Peel is a celebration of the quirkiness of British humour and design.
Here at FROM, we love all that quirkiness, and are delighted to welcome Thornback & Peel to our shop floor and our website. Good day to you Ladies.
Designers Chris Harrison and Polly Glass created Wrap in 2010 to showcase the work of up-and-coming illustrators. This publication bridges the gap between magazine and product – while each themed edition comes full of interviews and features on an eclectic range of creative endeavours, it also includes ten illustrated wrapping papers made especially for that issue, printed on five double-sided pull-out sheets.
Form and function all wrapped up.
On one of their furniture-selling trips to France, Jane and Ruth found a traditionally made Marseilles soap. 11 years on, that original product base has expanded to include a range of elegant gifts, home fragrances and luxury bath and body products. Having outgrown their kitchen tables, they now operate from premises in Oxford, fulfilling orders for the likes of Liberty, Fortnum & Mason, Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons.... and FROM!
Please welcome.....Branche d'Olive >>>
This Autumn, we're inviting a few of the neighbours over.

We are excited to open our doors to our nearest and dearest and hope you'll enjoy a few new faces.

What a wonderful weekend we had setting up shop on the street, for the 6th annual Thame Food Festival! People came in their droves and we had a fantastic day of sales and recognition for our local artists and produce. Thank you so much to Elaine from Littlecote Soaps for helping out big time. We couldn't have done it with out her.

Well, it's officially Autumn folks, and here at FROM we're fully embracing the colder weather, the darker nights - and the abundance of new autumnal collections hitting the high street and the web right now.
One little fella we've noticed popping up everywhere is our friend Mr Fox. From cushions and lampshades, to ceramics and ovenware, anything emblazened with a fox (or other woodland creatures for that matter), is hot to trot.

Did you know it was National 'Love a Pug' week?
It's not really, but here at FROM Towers, we just love pugs for what they are and think you should too!
In honour of all things Pugly, we created a mood board over on pinterest, which you can view here ..... It's the next best thing to actually owning a pug, plus it doesn't shed its hair or make you want to dress it up in 'other animal' outtfits.
P.S If you do happen to own a real live pug, feel free to send us some snaps as we'd love to celebrate some local pugliness.
As everyone else seems to be talking about Fenella Smith at the moment - we thought we would too!
We caught up with the beautiful Fenella this month, to find out what makes her tick.
Meet the Maker.....Spotlight on Fenella Smith.
1.How did you get started as a artist/designer/maker?
I remember pottery being my favourite class at junior school, I'm not classically creative - I'm not great at drawing but I have a real interest in form and function which I think is crucial for a potter. I'm lucky to have my very talented illustrator animator brother who has won a BAFTA to work with. We have huge fun creating new designs.
2. Talk us through your work.
My ethos is to create objects to love and use everyday. I think my products combine elegance, fun and good quality. More and more I think we want the pieces in our home to define us and the Animals range is a perfect accent to an elegant kitchen.
3. Do you have an all time favourite piece?
The Labrador Dog Bowl is my favourite. The Labrador design is of my much loved lab Bramble the Bear. It always amuses me that as she finishes her supper, she comes face to face with herself!
4. Who/What inspires you?
I daydream lots (maybe too much?!) and it is in these moments I think my mind becomes really open to the surroundings. I am often inspired by the lifestyle and relaxed approach to life of those that live on the Ile de Re where I spend a lot of my time. I cycle for hours taking in the views; amazing wildlife, the quiet tenacity of the oyster farmers, it is in those moments ideas just appear.
5. Where is your favourite place to visit round here?
I love the wide open fields at the top of the hill at Maidensgrove. The sky seems so epic and endless up there. Even on a wintry day the light is quite remarkable.
6. Whose work from round here do you admire the most?
I love one of the ranges in FROM - I can't remember the brand name but the cashmere range for babies …. the softest! They need to make adult sizes!
From the area - Isie Norgrove - she is so talented and enormous fun. She also made my engagement ring and wedding ring.. she captured exactly what I had envisaged in my mind. http://isierocks.com
Calling all snap-happy youngsters
As you know at FROM we love nurturing the next generation of talent from round here. If you're 14 years or under (or know someone who is), live within 20 miles of Thame and fancy yourself as a budding photographer, then send us your best locally-inspired image.
Images must be high resolution (300 dpi or more) and with us by October 31st. They will be judged by professional, local, photographer Rob Wheal.
The winning photograph will be framed by us and sold in FROM with all profit in the pocket of our young snapper.
Go on, give us your best shot. Images can be posted to us, or emailed to us using the contact details here. Or dropped into the shop in person. Please make sure you include your name, address, age and telephone number.
Joe Kinch - Making Britain's favourite drink cool again.
First it was coffee, then smoothies, now Britain's favourite drink - tea, has been given a modern day makeover by home-grown entrepreneur Joe Kinch, FROM Great Milton. Alongside quirky re-inventions of Earl Grey (The Earl of Grey) and English Breakfast (Ever-so-English Breakfast Tea) Joe gives us weird and wonderful explorations of fruits (St Clements Lemon Tea), herbs (The Berry Best Tea) and even chocolate (Chocca-Roo-Brew) perfect for those of us who love a more creative cuppa.
When Joe was growing up - his parents owned the local pub in Great Hasley, where he originally trained as a chef. Here, he learned from a young age how to combine flavours and carefully select ingredients.
In his fruit teas - Joe uses only large whole leaves to maximize flavour, all packaged up in corn starch 'good-to-go' fuso bags. This means the leaves can expand and infuse like a good tea should do and have none of the bitterness you may get with other teas – just pure, refreshing local loveliness.
In the herbal teas - Joe uses organic herbs and fruit only. The large cut pieces ensure you get fullest of flavour and the farms that grow all the ingredients only use organic methods of farming.
This isn't because of any moral worthiness, but simply because if you don't want chemicals in your body, you probably shouldn't have them in your food.....or your tea.
Joe may look more at home DJ-ing in a trendy London bar, but his passion for tea has created a unique mix of fine teas that, are guaranteed to surprise and delight anyone who loves a brew... We'll get the kettle on Joe.
Let's talk about Tassels...
If you thought tassels were strictly reserved for Burlesque dancers, Cowboys or on the set of Aladdin then think again! This season, the pom pom, fringe and tassel trend continues, adorning shirts, shoes, necklaces, bracelets and even swimwear!
Here at FROM towers, we're embracing this playful trend and hanging them from our handbags. Oh yes sister! You heard it here first.
How fabulous are these tassel keyrings from Liz Fletcher of Miller and Jeeves fame?!
Available in an array of stunning colours from cobalt blue to mustard yellow, they're fun, flirty and would make a perfect gift. What's even better is they all cost just £14.99 (thank you very much, Liz. Don't mind if I do)!
Our ceramics ad featured in this month's fabulous FIX magazine, written and published exclusively by Little Italy Espresso Bar.
If you're yet to sample a coffee from Little Italy - make sure you pay a visit to one of their 3 coffee bars at either Bicester North train station, Haddenham & Thame Parkway or Haddenham High Street. We guarantee you'll be impressed enough to keep going back.
Oooh - and aforementioned ceramics can be found here >>>>
We caught up with the wonderful Cate Wise this month, to find out what makes her tick.
Cate has been a freelance artist, author and book illustrator now for almost 20 years, and put quite simply, we think she's great.
Meet the Maker.....Spotlight on Cate Wise.
1.How did you get started as a artist/designer/maker?
Love started me. Obession started me. Total, infatuation and adoration of the subject and inspiration that is ART. I studied Fine Art at School and University, then studied Book Illustration in Oxford, under the tuition of the genius Korky Paul. I became freelance from school age, happily selling work through private commissions or local exhibitions. When my second child was born, eleven years ago, I was able to commit to being an Artist full time. I always drew, made books and loved all things Art and Craft, so it's been an utter dream to be able to follow this through into a daily job. I also feel the continuation beyond yourself, creating something that matters to others, that out lasts and out lives you; something that can connect to people you have never even met and make a difference to their home or for a moment or a special day is a priviledge.
2. Talk us through your work.
My work involves many varieties of art disciplines as my mind in constantly buzzing with new projects and ideas, and I require various art skills to produce these both in volume and in quality. I work in unbelievably divine Watercolours by Schmincke, collage from almost entirely recycled papers, dip pen and ink for all sorts of detailed images, I make second hand book sculptures, hand stamped lyrics and poetry using the supreme Memento ink pads, as well as creating and printing work with a Tablet and in Photoshop on the computer.
With these mediums I am able to produce large and ornate paintings for Children's Picture Books, hand cut, collaged cards and stationary, as well as endless picture design series such as the inked graphic black dogs and the serene watercrayon Hares.
3. Do you have an all time favourite piece?
My "Beautiful Death" range of rock and royal collaged skulls and crossbones, with Pink Floyd lyrics hand stamped over the paper sunglasses were created in honour of my Dad so it has an eternal love for me personally.
4. Who/What inspires you?
Wonderful Children and Graphic illustrators from the 50's, 60's and 70's, like Mary Blair, Alice and Martin Provensen, M Sasek are all stunning to me. The wonder that is Korky Paul, my teacher, mentor and friend whose watercolours are like looking at magic. Also my most prominent inspiration is Recycling. Recycling is a concept I value greatly, in all aspects of my home and work life. Converting unloved or lost pieces into new and interesting works of art in all diciplines both fascinates and soothes my soul.
5. Where is your favourite place to visit round here?
Will I be selling my secrets if I confess to the charity shops as well as the car boot sales that surround us in the summer? Heaven for me and my children to visit.
6. Whose work from round here do you admire the most?
I admire so many artists, especially those who can sew, crochet or knit as I am incapable of these skills and in awe of their work and talents. But hand on heart I have to say the beautiful Fenella Smith. Her button mugs with gentle animal paintings are my weakness. I am lucky to have a few which my guests can look at from a distance or use at their terror. Unfortunately I have also just spied a new fox version in FROM...oh dear, far too lovely to leave behind...

If you haven't had chance to see our in-store exhibition this month, here's what the clever students at Lord William's Lower School have been up to.
A handful of year 9 students who have shown a natural ability to design, communicate and make technological items were selected to take part in a Gifted and Talented Workshop.
The project focussed around resistant materials and product design. The aim was to provide students with enhanced Computer Aided Design skills. Access to the computer controlled equipment at the Upper School site enabled them to make and then hand-finish the intricate mazes.
We're proud to display the next generation of talent from round here. Well done to all the students who took part.
We've just got some gorgeous new stock delivered from the ever popular Elaine Stavert a.k.a, Littlecote Soaps, and felt the need to shout about it!
If you're not familiar with Elaine's work, she specialises in handmade organic toiletries made using nature's herbs, aromatherapy oils and exclusive perfumes. And of course - she's FROM round these here parts.
Elaine formed The Littlecote Soap Co after ditching her London TV career for life on a farm in beautiful Buckinghamshire.
'I've always had a keen interest in herbalism and aromatherapy, and I couldn't wait to start designing my traditional toiletries and bath products with a contemporary twist', says Elaine.
Some of our most popular products from the new range include this Sparkling Wine Hand & Body Wash and Shimmer Cream made with real Champagne. Such luxury!
And the addition of the Seagrass scented candles and diffusers to our collection is just perfect for the summer.
Or how about this beautiful little jute travel bag containing a mini bar of soap, hand & body wash, hand & body lotion and a lip balm all in Littlecote's signature Gin & Tonic scent.
If you're feeling lucky, subscribe to our mailing list to receive our monthly newsletter below, and you could be the first person to receive this travel set absolutely free! Winner will be announced on 24th July!
Pssst.....don't forget, we're now trialling free delivery on orders over £50, so now's the perfect time to order.
We're live!
The FROM team is thrilled to announce the launch of our ecommerce site.
It's been a long time in the making, but we're proud to say we're now able to share the talent, from our little corner of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, with the whole wide world.
It's been a labour of love to gather content, photographs and descriptions for each and every piece. Our little shop in Thame, has grown to represent hundreds of artists and producers. We couldn't add them all here (lots of pieces are one-offs), but we will be adding to the online offering all the time, so don't worry if you can't see your favourite piece just yet.
The site is super-easy to navigate, you can select to shop by product type, producer or price. We've bundled together ideas for the perfect wedding gift or something for 'him' or 'her'. And if it's still tricky to decide, you can always spoil someone with gift vouchers to spend in store.
Each and every item will come with a little biography of the artist who has made it, where they're from and how they work. It will then be wrapped with love, in the finest white tissue paper and if you'd like it gift-wrapped, there's a button for that too. Just let us know when you click through to order and we'll finish with ribbon for that extra special touch.
Thank you to Tracey and David at Adapt Communications for all your genius coding and expertise, to the brilliant Lynda, who has joined the FROM team to help us with all things online (we would not be here without her) and to Becky, Miranda, Diana and Rachel, who will be fulfilling your orders from the shop floor on a daily basis. We salute you all.

This Week: Huge Road Matches at Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount
The Broncos will head back out on the road next weekend, traveling to No. 9 Pepperdine on Friday night and to Loyola Marymount Saturday evening. Santa Clara is currently in second place in the West Coast Conference, just one half game behind Pepperdine but two and a half games ahead of San Diego who is in third place. Since Jon Wallace took over the program in 1999 the Broncos have gone 3-3 on their trips to Malibu and Los Angeles, with the three wins all coming against LMU and the three losses all coming to Pepperdine. Two of the three losses did come in five games while the lone other loss came in four games.
Santa Clara vs. No. 9 Pepperdine
Santa Clara and Pepperdine have met 41 previous times entering this weekend's matchup with the Broncos trailing in the all-time series by a 28-13 margin. Last year the Waves swept the season series between the two schools, winning by a 3-1 score in Malibu, and a 3-0 score in the Leavey Center. Earlier this season Pepperdine handed Santa Clara just their third loss of the season, taking the match by a 3-0 score in the Leavey Center. The last time that the Broncos beat the Waves was on Nov. 17, 2000, when Santa Clara posted a 3-2 victory to claim the WCC title for the third time in school history.
Scouting the Waves
Pepperdine enters the week with an 18-6 overall record, a perfect 10-0 mark in the West Coast Conference and the nation's No. 9 national ranking. The Waves are currently on a nine-match winning streak that includes wins over then No. 14 Santa Clara and No. 5 UC Santa Barbara. Katie Wilkins leads the offensive attack for Pepperdine with her 4.75 kills per game average while her 2.49 digs per game average ranks fourth. Christina Hinds leads the Wave defense with her 3.56 digs per game but Paola Rodriguez is right on her heals for the team lead with her digs per game average of 3.55. Rodriguez has directed the Waves to a .285 team hitting percentage with her 12.45 assists per game average.
Santa Clara vs. Loyola Marymount
Santa Clara and LMU have met 43 previous times entering Saturday night's match in Los Angeles, with the Broncos trailing in the all-time series by a 25-18 margin. Recently the Broncos have posted a 7-2 mark against the Lions since 1998 including a current six-match win streak that dates back to the 1999 season. In the Leavey Center earlier this season the Broncos defeated the Lions by a 3-1 score while last year the Broncos swept both meetings with LMU. The last time that Santa Clara lost to Loyola Marymount was on Oct. 23, 1999, when the Lions handed the Broncos a 3-1 loss.
Scouting the Lions
Loyola Marymount enters the week with a 14-9 overall record and a 5-5 mark in the WCC. They are currently in fourth place, two games ahead of Saint Mary's and two games behind third place San Diego. The Lions are currently on a two-match losing streak and have dropped six of their last nine. Their three wins during that time span have come against San Francisco, Saint Mary's and Gonzaga. Kristen Gallup leads the Lion offense with her 4.56 kills per game average while her 2.87 digs per game average is also tops on the team.
NCAA Selection Show Approaches
As the season draws to an end the focus shifts to postseason play. With the winner of the West Coast Conference receiving an automatic big to the tourney, all other conference teams must wait to see if they receive an at-large bid to the tournament. With their current record and ranking, the Broncos are in good shape to make the NCAA Tournament regardless if they can claim a share of the WCC title. This year the field of 64 will be announced on the ESPNEWS network Sunday, December 1st at approximately 6 p.m.
Broncos Honor Seniors
Seniors Amy Grabill, Chrissy Hirsch and Cindy Hirsch were all honored prior to the start of the Broncos' match with Gonzaga on November 9. The three seniors were all met by their parents, escorted out onto the court where they watched a highlight montage and listened to a list of their accomplishments while on the Mission Campus.
Next Week: Home Match with Cal, Back on Road against San Francisco
The Broncos will return to the Leavey Center next Tuesday evening for their final regular season home match of the year as they play host to Bay Area Rival, California. The Golden Bears will enter the Leavey Center hungry for a win as they are on the bubble for a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Following that match the Broncos will return to the road for their final WCC match of the year at San Francisco. The Broncos have beaten the Dons in each of their last 25 meetings which is an all-time record in the WCC. Their 25th straight win over USF came earlier this year in the Leavey Center when the Broncos swept the Dons on October 25.
Last Week: Broncos Sweep Portland and Gonzaga
Santa Clara had to guard against a let down after being ranked 11th by the AVCA/USA Today Coaches Poll, the program's highest-ever ranking. Add to that two teams near the bottom of the WCC standings, and there possibly could have been a catastrophe. But, the Broncos came out and swept the Pilots in three-straight Friday night, including a 30-14 score in game two, and followed that up with a convincing 3-0 win over Gonzaga Saturday night on Senior night. The wins pushed the Broncos' record to 22-3 overall and 10-1 in league play.
Many Broncos At or Near Top of WCC Stats
Becky Potter continues to have a tremendous year for the Broncos, posting a 5.24 kills per game average in all contests and a 5.81 kills per game in conference matches only, both of which lead the West Coast Conference. Kelli Sousa also leads the conference in overall assists per game with her 14.60 average and in conference only matches with her 14.78 per game average. Becky Biniek ranks fifth in the conference for hitting percentage with her .346 percentage in WCC only matches and seventh in all matches with her .324 percentage. Potter is fourth in overall hitting percentage at .335 but sixth in WCC only matches with her .338 percentage. Chrissy and Cindy Hirsch are currently sixth and tenth, respectively, in overall digs per game with their 3.40 and 3.06 per game averages. In conference matches only Chrissy is sixth while Cindy is eighth with their 3.38 and 3.24 digs per game averages. In WCC matches only Potter is 10th in the league with her 3.14 digs per game, while her 1.25 blocks per game ranks fourth conference play.
Head Coach Jon Wallace
Santa Clara volleyball has moved into the national spotlight under fourth-year head coach Jon Wallace. One of the top young coaches in the country, Wallace earned West Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors in only his second season on the mission campus, taking his 2000 squad to the top of the league standings and into the national spotlight. His career mark currently stands at 89-29 (.754). His winning percentage is currently the highest-ever in Bronco Volleyball history, while his .830 (44-9) winning percentage in league play ranks second in WCC history, trailing only Nina Mathies of Pepperdine who has a .839 win percentage in her 18 years in the league. On Oct. 7, 2000, Wallace earned his 35th career win against USF, becoming the fastest coach in WCC history to reach that plateau. In 1999, Wallace led his team to its best record in six seasons and its first trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Prior to Santa Clara, he spent seven seasons as an assistant coach at Pepperdine. A three-year starting setter at UC Santa Barbara, Wallace directed the Gauchos to the NCAA Tournament title match in 1988.

It seems that I often find myself trying to come up with ideas to utilize partial amounts of ingredients such as part of a can of evaporated milk, a cup of spaghetti sauce, or half a block of cream cheese. I recently ran across a recipe that would utilize that half block of cream cheese that was in the fridge and decided to try it. The result was these delicious Cream Cheese Brownies. I saw the recipe on the America's Test Kitchen TV show on PBS. We thought the brownies were delicious and I plan to definitely add this recipe to my file.
I needed to make a dessert for a church function recently and I tried a new recipe for Old Fashioned Apple Cake from the King Arthur flour website. It too was very tasty. It helped use up some fall apples that were starting to shrivel a bit. The frosting is especially good.
Hyacinths are one of my favorite flowers. I found this bulb in the vase at the grocery store a couple weeks ago and we have enjoyed watching it grow and finally bloom. It smells wonderful! After it wilts Rob will plant it out in the yard to add to our collection. Forcing spring bulbs is one of my favorite after Christmas traditions. It makes it seem like spring truly is approaching soon. 🙂

*** Psicoterapia en Español *** Online and Telephone Sessions *** Face to Face Sessions
Welcome and thanks for taking the time to read through my profile!
Are you finding yourself struggling with things and situations that used to be easy for you? or have you reached a point where things just need to change, and starting with yourself sounds like a good idea?
I offer an empathetic , non-judgmental, caring environment in which to explore life's problems and find a way to move forward in life.
Together in the counselling room we can find a way to gain insights about your current distress and deal with it in a patient and timely fashion, taking our time to understand what has brought you here now.
I have a private practice in Brighton and Hove, working with Spanish and English speaking clients with a wide range of life difficulties. I also work online via Skype if that is something you want to consider as well. Some clients find it easier talking to me from home, and I find it is just as effective as face to face.
My approach is psychodynamic at its base, but I adapt my therapeutic approach with each individual client, drawing from previous knowledge in cognitive, gestalt, person centred, and existential theories, as well as drawing from my experience of working with different cultures and different groups, including aspergers, autism, adults and older mental health clients. I believe building good rapport and a good relationship with my clients will help both of us work together to gain insights and freedom from feelings that might be stuck in the past or left unprocessed or repressed.
I am actively attending continuous professional development and training days/courses to increase my skills in the counselling room, with the aim of having more tools in my toolkit to support my clients with what they bring to the room.
It is such an honour to be allowed into people's worlds and be there for the realisations – sometimes good, sometimes not so good – about themselves, their upbringing, their experiences, and see lasting change happen – gradually – so they can continue a happier, healthier life, with a more robust approach to challenges and whatever else life might bring.
I am also passionate about teaching, which you can find on my tutoring and languages page. I have experience in supporting students with their Psychology and Counselling/Psychotherapy studies, as well as in teaching Spanish and English in a variety of settings — classroom and one-to-one.

Por este medio quisiera ofrecerte la oportunidadd de contactarme para poder tener una conversacion en nuestro idioma nativo a manera que entre los dos podamos encontrar la mejor forma de comprender tu situacion actual para que puedas disfrutar mas de tu vida.

The Discussion
I'm not very sure if I have understood you (a) ... but not totally agree with you that you should apply each principle from the previous one although it would be a good idea... ;).
1) If you are doing TDD/BDD/... when you are starting to code you aren't following those principles/good practices/patterns (although you should)... and at the end of the day when you are refactoring it is posible that the way to get your SOLID code is LIDSO...
2) S.O.L.I.D are a series of principles/good practices/patterns you may follow and the order you follow doesn't matter.
I believe that SOLID sounds better than LIDSO or DISLO and so on... and I don't think that you should follow the order SRP, OCP, LSP, ISP and DIP in order to code. The order doesn't matter because while you are writing the code come to your mind (or at least it what happens to me). Is when I'm refactoring my code when I think about better ways to implement it and at this time is when I start to apply SOLID principles.
Congrats because of your great explanation!! It has been very funny! [H]

Thanks in advance.

Comparing the training debt to returns on other varieties of funding also shows a far higher long term return compared to investing within the stock market, company bonds, lengthy-term Treasury bills, housing or gold.

USPS Direct Mail Promotion Gets Boost from SpyderLynk
The U.S. Postal Service has come up with a summer promotion that aims to show the relevance of direct mail to smartphone marketing. It is called the Mobile Commerce and Personalization Promotion.
For the 2012 round, marketing technology specialist SpyderLynk stated that it will be participating by offering its Buy-it-Now Mobile Commerce codes throughout the summer within consumer direct mailers.
If you recall, SpyderLynk developed the SnapTag, which is much similar to a QR code. A SnapTag, however, is a code ring with visual data aligned in a neat pattern of bars and breaks. Inside the ring is a Facebook, Twitter, or any icon that gives the scanner an idea where SnapTag leads to.
Throughout the promotion, USPS will be offering a discount to customers who use direct letter mail through First-Class or Standard Mail, as well as for cards and flats using a QR code or any other kind of scannable print-mobile code that takes a scanner to a mobile optimized website. The website where the code leads to, however, must be relevant and must be made specifically for a recipient's needs.
We have previously reported about USPS running another summer promotion that provides a 2% discount on Standard and First-Class Mail that carries a QR code. This year, however, USPS is implementing stricter requirements regarding the online content that the code leads to. More specifically, USPS requires that the code take recipients to meaningful content.
To further sweeten the deal, SpyderLynk is offering a 10% discount to direct mail customers who use SnapTags. The SnapTags are intended to provide a turnkey solution to increase return of investment (ROI) and to lessen acquisition costs.
We think that this promotion is good in that it recognizes the ever-growing importance of mobile marketing and mobile commerce and therefore the need for people to familiarize themselves with mobile marketing resources like quick response codes.

There's a much-used Italian word – 'furbo' (feminine form 'furba') which means sly or smart depending on the context.
It's basically what Florence is, as demonstrated by the photo.
She was due this morning to be sterilised, but the only way to get her into the car is to bribe her to jump up with a bowl of food.
Since she had to have an empty stomach for her operation, this device wasn't possible.
So what happened? She saw straight through all my pretences, flatly refused to co-operate, and we had to cancel.
Full moon through the branches
It's been grey and misty today with non-stop rain.
Typical, when we'd arranged to have a delivery of pellets for the stove and were obliged to cancel because otherwise the sacks would come into the house wet.
Before today, there was blue sky and bright sunshine.
And a bright full moon.

A pressing issue
For 99% of my pressing I use a June Taylor Press & Cut II. It is about the size of a fat quarter...
I am mentioneing this because I need to press some yardage - not fun using the press & cut (Or is that cut & press?).
I must mention that I have an over the door ironing board, but I don't like it & rarely use it.
I probably could get a better ironing board, but... (That is so not how I want to spend my money!)
I might be bale to use the one at the LQS - but then I'd "want/need" to actually buy something...
My GF has one of those big boards, but do I want to visit just to iron? What kind of friend would that make me? "Hi, I'm coming over, can I use your ironing board?" Sounds as good as it looks in type...
Oh well, at least my mini-group is meeting this weekend, I can ise that big board without guilt.
Here I come with far too many yards that need to be pressed!

I have a regular stand-up ironing board that I have used for years. My sister's husband made her a 'big board' that she could put on her ironing board for pressing quilt stuff. I put off making my own for a long time but love it now that I have it. I recently made one for each of my 4 crafting friends that meet each week. Here is a post from my daughter explaining how she made hers: http://latebloomercrafts.blogspot.com/2009/04/nest-ironing-board.html

I took a 2 foot by 4 foot table and placed a thin piece of wood on the top. Then I covered the wood with that batting that you use for potholders. I covered the whole tabletop, batting and board with an sheet I picked up at a second hand store. This work really well for me. You could possibly just take the board and the batting and cover it. Then store the board in a closet somewhere until you need it for your big ironing jobs.

On time.... Honest, ethical, friendly. Great clean-up, fair price for work involved.... worked through a storm to complete work...we could not be any happier with MMM!
MMM did a great job. They were quick to come out to give us an estimate. Quick to come out and start the job. Very polite crew. Would recommend to use them.
Great Job men! A large, 55', high severely damaged Box Elder tree with (2 large vertical limbs were leaning over my front room of my mobile home. The tree was severely damaged from a wind and thunder storm 3 days earlier. The left half of the tree was already broken in half and blown down but the remaining two 45+' high vertical leaning limbs were standing over my mobile home. If they had fallen, it would have destroyed my mobile home.
Sam and his crew safely removed the two big limbs, piece by piece, and cut down the rest of the standing tree. They had already been working all day in 90 degree heat when they got to my place around 7:00 P.M.. With sever storms forecasted for that night and the next two days I feel that the quick and expert workmanship of Sam and his crew saved my summer house. Great job, Stay safe!
Sam and Joe trimmed 2 trees for us and did a fantastic job! When I reached out to them for a quote, they returned my call within a few hours. The estimate to do the job was very competitive and the job was completed ahead of schedule.
MMM is a first class contractor with quality workmanship. The entire job site was left spotless which I really appreciated. If you want first class service, use MMM!
Thank you for the great service! We appreciate your being so responsive, doing the job as promised, when promised. The trees we wanted gone were removed with little evidence to the remaining yard. Thank you for being concerned with yard damage and surrounding plants. We highly recommend MMM Tree Service.
We are very pleased with the work MMM Tree Service did on our land. Thanks so much, Sam and Joe. Great experience.
Excellent experience. Very punctual with quote and scheduling the actual work. Extremely professional, safe and efficient in completing the work. Price was reasonable considering the scope of work. Will recommend to friends and neighbors.
We had Sam and his crew come out to take down a tree that part had fallen on our house. They were able to get me in quickly and the worked safely and fast when they were here doing the job. They also ground the stump plus another one in our yard. They came with the know-how and the right tools. I will definitely be recommending them to anyone who needs any kind of tree service.
I had Sam and his company come out to our home to trim up a birch tree on the side of the house. Sam and his staff were quick, efficient and clean. When I returned home I didn't even realize they had been there, except for the fact the tree had been trimmed. There were no tire tracks in the yard and no left-over mess of the tree having been trimmed at all. I was so impressed with the work and the service they provided. I will definitely be using MMM Tree Service in the future and will recommend them to any and everyone I know. Thanks again for the wonderful work.
Excellent service, very professional, speedy removal, very fine people. Couldn't ask for better service.im so grateful! Thank you for your prompt service.
I had 3 dead trees that needed to come down. I had a chainsaw but was afraid, if I cut them down, the trees would end up in the neighbor's yard or on top of me. I had these professionals drop the trees for me and I did the rest. The trees were dropped in my yard. Neighbors were not upset and nobody was hurt. Great job. I will call these guys again when I need some trees dropped.
Sam and his staff are professional, friendly, precise, and knowledgeable! We would highly recommend their services!!

Study Of Psychology
The literal meaning of the word psychology is the "study of the soul".Derived from the Ancient Greek: "ψυχή", psychē, meaning "breath", "spirit", or "soul"; and "-λογία" , that is-logia, translated as "study of", the term was coined in the mid-16th century most probably. Today the study of psychology means in simple words the "study of the mind" and used in reference to behavior. Read on to know more on the subject of psychology study.
Study of human psychology is a branch of science that is the systematic study of human behavior, mind and thought. Dealing with mental processes and behavior, one should have a real desire to help other human beings, if he wants to pursue the career of a psychologist. Studying psychology is mainly concerned with how the mind works. The processes, motives, reactions, feelings and nature of the human mind are studied in detail by the psychologists. In this field, the professional practitioner or researcher is known as psychologist. The psychologists counsel and help the people by trying to change their thought process and bringing an improvement in the quality of life without medication. Psychologists as social or behavioral scientists, also try to explore the underlying physiological and neurological processes.
Study of psychology includes a range of subjects of human activity- the family, education, employment etc; Psychological knowledge is applied to emotion, motivation, perception, brain functioning, attention, personality, cognition, interpersonal relationships and behavior. Psychologists use experiential and deductive methods to find causal and co relational relationships between psychosocial variables. They also rely on inductive techniques and symbolic interpretation sometimes.
Today, the study of human psychology has branched out into many diverse sub-fields like the health psychology, developmental psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, legal psychology, media psychology, forensic psychology and even sport psychology. Incorporating research from the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities, in order to study psychology, one need not have a medical degree. But they have to teach, practice and do research for several years to specialize in various aspects of psychology.
There are specializations in many fields of Psychology study today, like child psychology, clinical psychology social psychology, educational psychology, occupational psychology, experimental psychology, etc. Psychologists apply their knowledge and methods to a broad range of activities, including human services, management, education, law and sports.

In a perfect world, everything would go to plan and we'd always catch loads of big fish etc etc. Today's fishing trip was a good example of how things don't need to be perfect or to even go to plan in order to be classed as an enjoyable day out.
Jason & I had planned to pike fish the River Avon near Keynesham, Bristol, but a match on that stretch of water put pay to that idea. I'd travelled up to Bristol to meet Jason with only my pike fishing tackle in the car which as it turned out, proved to be a bit of a school boy error. Not being able to fish the Avon we scratched our heads and came up with a plan B. Fish the River Chew! Hopefully we'd pick up some grayling and chub. Thankfully Jason was able to lend me a rod and the requisite gear plus provide maggots and worms to make plan B viable.
We met at day break, and proceeded to try various swims along our chosen stretch of water. It was a cold start with no wind at all, although the temperature did begin to rise as the morning wore on.
My first trot downstream resulted in a nice (but out of season) brown trout on single maggot under a waggler, set pretty shallow. Jason also swiftly had another, before things went quiet and we moved on. Things didn't get any easier and after this we moved frequently to scratch out a few gudgeon and numerous minnows. Jason did bring in a couple of small chub, but the chub just didn't seem to be feeding in any numbers today. We had hoped for a grayling or two as well on the upper sections of the Chew but these also eluded us. Whilst it turned out to be a day of small fish, at least it was a lovely morning weather wise. What was particularly educational was getting to explore the river without the mass of summer undergrowth hampering access to the bankside. This allowed us to explore and fish swims that just weren't accessible during the height of summer. It also helped give me at least, a slightly better understanding and knowledge of the river which should all help for next time I return.

Sul Ross State University Field Camp Information
...Space is Limited
THERE ARE A FEW SPACES REMAINING AS OF FEBRUARY 25. PLEASE SEND YOUR COMPLETED APPLICATION ASAP TO BE CONSIDERED. CONTACT JESSICA KELSCH (firstname.lastname@example.com) TO CONFIRM THERE ARE SPACES AVAILABLE.
Ms. Jesse Kelsch, MS
Dates: May 29 - June 30
Course Number: GEOL 3601; Credit: 6 semester hours
Field course fee
$300 (deposit applies to Field Course fee); nonrefundable after April 4
-Structural Geology
-Sedimentology and Stratigraphy (Sed/Strat)
No exceptions will be made regarding prerequisites. Your transcript is required to register. If you are enrolled in the prerequisites during registration time, documentation from your instructors that you are on track to pass the courses (C or better) will suffice.
Other Requirements:
-Valid permission from medical doctor (MD) or certified nurse practitioner (CNP) confirming physical fitness for full-day hikes at elevations of 7,000-8,000 ft amsl on slopes of 10 to 30o carrying a ~40-lb backpack. This documentation is due on March 27. Physical evaluation form to take to your doctor will be e-mailed to you when you send your application.
- Minimum of C grade in all geoscience courses. Preference will be given to applicants with higher GPA if more students apply than fit in the course.
Cap: 14 students
Location: The SRSU 2019 Field Geology course will start and end at the Alpine campus in the Davis Mountains of West Texas. After a few days investigating local geology, the class together departs Alpine for a 3-week-long driving loop into northern New Mexico through the Sacramento, Sandia, Jemez, and Sangre de Cristo Mountains, then returns to the Big Bend area to do some closer-to-home mapping projects. The focus of this class is geologic mapping and construction of geologic cross sections. Even if you, a geology major, don't intend to be a professional mapper you will benefit in any field from developing your ability to visualize and solve problems in three dimensions and in the subsurface-whether that is in the mining, geologic-hazard, petroleum, or water industries, or whether you go into further research. All future employers will be impressed with these visualization skills—this is the focus of our field camp. The major exercises based in these ranges include:
- Geologic mapping of deformed Mesozoic sedimentary strata near the Jemez Mountains in NM
- Geologic mapping of deformed Mesozoic-early Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rock on the margin of the Rio Grande rift and Colorado Plateau in NM
- Geologic mapping of Proterozoic metamorphic rocks in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in NM.
- Measuring stratigraphic sections within Tertiary volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks.
- Geologic mapping of Cretaceous-Neogene rocks and sediment in Big Bend National Park, TX
- Mapping and measuring structures related to the Laramide Orogeny and Basin and Range tectonics in Big Bend National Park
Logistics: We will be camping for the duration of the course. Camp sites range from primitive (no facilities) to developed. There will only be occasional showers and laundry. Your course fee covers all of the campground fees as well as entrance fees, food, transportation, and reference material. If you don't live in Alpine you can rent a Sul Ross dorm room ($30/night) for the couple of shoulder nights when we are not on the road, though there are local campgrounds as well.
- For the camping parts of the trip, you are responsible for your own personal camping gear: tent with useful rain fly (it WILL rain,) strong tent stakes, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, camp chair, flashlight(s), etc., plus your own drink cup and coffee mug (all other kitchen gear is provided.) We will be car-camping so you can even bring a pillow, but try to sensibly minimize your personal-gear footprint as there will be 14 of us plus our gear. (However, you are welcome to bring the extra comforts you deem important.) In the past, students have brought hammocks to sleep in, for the few sites where there are strong, mature trees. (This is in addition to a tent, because not everywhere are there ample trees.) Shower facilities will be available only at some of our camp sites—we will have three separate five-day camp sites without a shower. There will be a cook/ camp steward traveling with us who will set up a camp kitchen and provide us with three meals a day (sack lunch into the field) plus water and gatorade. Students will rotate through kitchen-help duties. Work tables will be set up at each camp for completing field assignments.
- You must also bring your own personal gear for comfort and safety: sturdy, broken-in hiking boots that provide ankle support, plenty of good socks, outdoor clothing for all-day sun and for cool summer nights at ~7,000 ft amsl and for rain both in the field and at camp; waterproof shoes both for fluvial geomorphology work (wading in a shallow stream) as well as a suit for optional recreational swimming. Sunscreen, a large-brimmed hat, and refillable water bottles are also required. Temperatures in Big Bend will likely exceed 110°F during the day, so you MUST carry at least a gallon of water into the field with you (there are no refill sites in our remote field areas). Camelbak or similar bladder-type backpacks work well, as do Nalgene or Klean Kanteen bottles. In addition to three meals per day, snacks will be provided daily but we will also intermittently stop for gas as we move between project locations, so you should bring spending money if you'll want extra treats or soda. We'll also have one afternoon on the town in Santa Fe.
- There will be commercial laundry facilities available on a few of the days off, so you should also bring quarters and soap.
- You also need to bring gear to operate as a field geologist: a hand lens, a map board, colored pencils, quality mapping pencil(s), a scale and protractor, grain size card, a comfortable and sizeable back pack, and rock hammer with holster. A field belt, and a field pouch to hang on your belt next to your hammer holster is VERY handy as well. (Plateau Designs of Flagstaff, AZ has been providing good cheap field pouches to field camp students for a couple of decades.) What will be provided to you: an empty Rite-in-the-Rain field book; a collection of literature pertinent to the geology on our traverse; stereonet paper; base maps and mylar. Bruntons and hand lenses will be checked out to you at the beginning of the course, to be returned in exchange for your letter grade at the end of field camp. Also, a copy of "Geology Field Methods" by Tom Freeman will be available for purchase when you arrive in Alpine for $15. You can pick one up early to study it (email@example.com), or find Compton's "Geology in the Field," which costs a bit more but is far more robust, and is the classic.
- Campground fees, food and entrance-fee costs when we are on the road are provided. Students are responsible for their own board and lodging during the nights in Alpine at the start of the session before we depart and one night in Alpine at the end of the session when we return. SRSU dorm rooms will be available for rent to visiting students for the Alpine nights, and Alpine has a few nice campgrounds as well.
Application: Print, complete and mail the one-page application form with your $300 deposit and your unofficial transcripts to SRSU Department of Biology, Geology and Physical Science / Attn: Geology Field Camp / Box C-64 / Alpine TX 79832. Applications must be received by March 5, 2019. We will send notifications of receipt and acceptance shortly AFTER March 5. If you are not accepted, your deposit will be returned to you. If you are accepted, your deposit will be held until you register and pay for the class.
Registration: If you are not a Sul Ross student, you'll have to apply to SRSU through ApplyTexas. Contact Taj Lewis, secretary of the SRSU Department of Biology, Geology and Physical Science, for assistance in how to proceed, as well as whether there are places remaining. firstname.lastname@example.com; 432-837-8112

All levels of government have recognized the need to achieve greater
integration of data across organizations through the implementation of
enterprise-wide information architectures. A baseline of geospatial
specifications continues to mature through the work of consensus standards
organizations such as the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). Such work will
enable interoperable geospatial processing and data sharing across distributed
multi-vendor computing platforms. Furthermore, an increasing number of agencies
have defined their expectations for future geospatial systems to be
interoperable, standards conformant and integrated with enterprise-wide
technology architectures.
The task for our industry's future is transforming the National System for
Geospatial Intelligence (NSG) to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Today's
geospatial information is pushed out through many different interfaces and
products, both non-standard and proprietary. We are headed for a tomorrow where
users will use a standards-enabled environment to acquire and contribute
information in a net-centric system of collaborative, predictive, actionable
intelligence analysis. Users will also employ the fullspectrum of advanced
sensors in a multi-intelligence, virtual and physical data environment.
In addition, SOAs are changing how capabilities are deployed. In a SOA, web
services are the framework which will enable information sharing in net-centric
operations. Web services will be deployed much faster and be used by a broader
set of users. A Compliance & Interoperability Test Framework is needed that will
not only assure quality and readiness of systems delivered to operations by NSG
acquisition organizations, but will also support the movement towards SOA.
