If you have been following our blog, you'll know that my boyfriend and I are moving in together in September. You can read my announcement about it here. Because we're getting a place together we were able to spend a bit more money on things, than I would be able to if I were living alone. Today I wanted to do a quick post on how we shopped for our place, because this is a big part of my life right now. Hopefully some of you will find this helpful if you are planning on getting your own place in the near future.
Step One : Establish a budget. This is the most important part about shopping. We sat down together and figured out what each of us could put into the budget, and how much we were willing to spend on buying new things. We also have a folder which holds all of our receipts, our list of things to get and our budget to date page.
Step Two : Figuring out what you need to get. I made a HUGE list, room by room, of everything we could need. We then went through the list and started checking things off that we already had (I had an apartment last year while I was at school so I had a lot of cooking things already) and things our family was going to give us.
Step Three : Figuring out what style we wanted to get. We decided to go for simple and classic things. Things that we know we can use for years, and the basics. We wanted to get the basic items first and then collect more things as we have more money.
Step Four : Buying! This for me is my favourite part! If you're moving in with someone, wether it be a friend or your partner, it's important to do this together. You want to buy things that both of you will like, because both you have to live with it!
I hope that you guys find this interesting. I know I really enjoy writing about this because it's such a huge part of my life right now. Let me know if you'd like more post like this!

Look Back at Jennifer Lawrence's Oscars Red Carpet Fashion
This year will mark a first for Jennifer Lawrence – she is going to attend the Oscars for the first time without having a nomination!
The 27-year-old actress has only attended the Oscars in the past while nominated. She was nominated in 2011 for Winter's Bone, in 2013 for Silver Linings Playbook (and won!), in 2014 for American Hustle, and in 2016 for Joy.
If you didn't know, Jennifer holds the distinction of being the youngest person to have four acting nominations!
Jennifer will be attending the 2018 show as a presenter and she's reportedly going to present the award for Best Actress in Casey Affleck's place. Usually the previous year's winner for Best Actor would present the award, but he decided not to attend due to the allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

News: The Future of Music and DRM
For those of you interested in the debate about copyright protection for music (digital rights management, or DRM, as it's called) here's an interesting article from the industry point of view — and a lively discussion on the lively Slashdot forum (some contributions are more, er, erudite than others). Something I think hasn't been thought through by either side on the debate is that once a product ceases to be purely the property of the holder — like a CD — then problems will occur. What happens if I want to sell the music I've downloaded via an online service using DRM? What happens

Believing Is Receiving
Mark 5:28–29
28For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." 29Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
You have heard people of the world say, "I will believe it only when I see it." Generally, that is the way the world thinks. But God's ways are not like the ways of the world. The world says, "If I can't feel it or see it, I cannot believe the miracle is here." God says, "If you believe it before you feel it or see it, you will see your miracle."
Believing first before seeing the evidence of what we are believing for is called faith. Faith is like a spark and Jesus is the dynamite powder.
In the story of the healing of the woman with the issue of blood, there were many people who touched Jesus (Mark 5:31), but nothing happened to them. They didn't touch Him in faith. But when the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years came to Him and touched Him in faith, He felt power leave His body (Mark 5:30), and it sparked off an explosion of healing in the woman's body!
Hearing about how good, kind and loving Jesus was fired her faith to believe that He could and would heal her. So convinced was she (even when the condition in her body was still evident) that she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well." Did she experience her healing first before she believed? No, she believed first in Jesus' goodness and power, acted in faith and only then felt the healing in her body.
In the same way, God wants you to believe in His goodness and love toward you. He wants you to know how willing He is to act on your behalf to bless you, and how, with Christ, He will freely give you every good thing. (Romans 8:32)
He wants you to declare by faith that all is and shall be well with you, and to expect to see just that. And then, no matter how long you have had the problem, no matter how bad the experts say it is, an explosion of healing and restoration will take place, and you will receive what you are believing for!

Early winter means it's time to plant sweet, succulent peas and crunchy carrots. These vegetables are easy to grow in cooler weather. Grow snow peas, snap peas or shelling peas and a companion crop of carrots you can harvest at the same time. Winter never tasted so good.
Plant Peas and Carrots:
- Select a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sun daily.
- Remove weeds to prepare the bed.
- Mix in 2" of compost and balanced organic or time-release fertilizer. Follow label instructions for how much to apply.
- Attach a trellis, netting or any type of fencing to stakes spaced 2' apart. Plant peas 2" deep and 2" apart in rows on both sides of the trellis. Peas like to be crowded, so plant plenty of seeds.
- Loosen soil deeply in carrot bed and rake smooth. Plant carrots 1" deep and 1" apart in rows spaced at least 6". Cover lightly with 1/2" of soil.
- Water and keep moist until seedlings emerge, usually 7-10 days.
Product Checklist:
- Pea and carrot seeds
- Spading fork
- Rake
- Compost
- Organic or time-release fertilizer
- Stakes and trellis material

The Chief Rabbi visited Exeter on 8th June 2003
Chief Rabbi's visit to the Exeter Hebrew Congregation was even more successful than had been hoped for. There was a full house, a rapt though not uncritical audience and copious copies of Dr Sacks's books for the signing.
It might not have been so. In fact it never has been so. This was the Chief Rabbi's first visit to Exeter - the first, in fact, of any Chief Rabbi at all since our lovely mid-Georgian shul was built in 1763. Why no Chief Rabbi before, and why this one now? Judging by the scant history of almost-enacted visits, there were two sides to the scenario. On the one hand, all other visits seem somehow to have, quite by accident, bypassed Exeter. That's not difficult to understand, the South-West, being, well, west of London. And thus most decidedly south-west of Bushey, Hendon, Mill Hill, and all other outposts of Golders Green. And perhaps there may have been something in our defiantly free-thinking Exeter congregation of the I-wouldn't-belong-to-a-club-that-would-have-me-as-a-member school of thought.
But - Sunday, the Chief Rabbi came to Exeter. And you have to take your hat off to him (well, maybe not in Shul and - providing The you were not wearing one at all) he spoke well. First he promised not to bore. "I notice your clock - a timeless warning to preachers that time moves on." Instead he spoke compellingly: about Jews in the West Country whose roots stretch back to pre-Expulsion times, about the restoration work which has returned our Grade II listed shul to its former early Georgian glory, and of the role of small communities in Anglo Jewry.
True, he skirted issues of divergences within liberal and orthodox thinking, but made indirect reference to what he thought of Exeter by the analogy of the Ark which, during the restoration process, was found to be clinging tenuously to the wall by one nail. "If you're attached to something immovable then all the winds cannot drag you away from it." It was a double-edged comment. What was to be anticipated, should Exeter, on the fringes of it all, choose to relinquish a shaky grasp of the salutary cliff edge of orthodoxy, was not to be thought of, although a shunt down the slippery slope of Shabbos driving and the like into the Slough of Liberal Despond might well be the consequence.
The Exeter congregation - and many visitors from Totnes and other communities - also heard that "we should all work together despite our religious differences". Jews are proportionally few everywhere, yet their distinction and contribution in all spheres of society has traditionally been disproportionately high.
The Chief Rabbi was alive to the contrariness of us Jews, a predominant trait of this most unhierarchical of religions. If there are five Jews in any one city, you can be sure there will be six synagogues. On putting up a mezzuzah (kindly donated by Mr Sedighi but then sadly stolen) the Chief Rabbi mused on the theories on the reason for the angle at which it is always nailed in: Rashi said it went vertically, his son said it went horizonatally, and because no-one could ever agree it traditionally goes on a slant. And he was prepared to be irreverent about the ultra Orthodox: "the Chasidim, you know - they're the ones who drive around in Volvos".
Then there were questions from the floor. With which Jewish person "dead or alive", would the Dr Sacks choose to have dinner? - was the question from a young member of the audience. Moses, replied the Chief Rabbi - "just to know how bad it can get" but also one of the many ordinary but heroic people you never hear about: Janos Kotschka, for example. A Jewish philanthropist in Poland before the War, he founded an orphanage for Jewish children before being asked to establish a Catholic one. When all the children orphanage were sent to Auschwitz, he was told he was exempt, but he refused to be parted from them and thus they all perished in the gas chambers.
Dr Sacks went on to answer questions on the current situation in Israel. He said that the American-British programme was the best possible news for Israel, who could not fight terror on her own. He spoke of the threat from Syria, Iran, and elsewhere, and of the world bias which piles criticism on Israel while refusing to put any moral pressure on the Palestinians, and colludes in perpetuating their hatred of Israel. The message to them is clear: "Don't use your children as cover for snipers or suicide bombers. Don't teach geography with none of Israel's borders on any map."
It was, all in all, a successful visit. As the Chief Rabbi commented at the end of his address: "May all of you continue the strong filaments that constitute a community and may it not be another 200 years until another Chief Rabbi comes here again."
But will any of those Chief Rabbis be Dr Jonathan Sacks? Maybe the Reverend Malcolm Weisman, `that indefatiguable sustainer of Anglo-Jewry' ...?

Your Number 2 tip should be WATER, but what will serve you better is To Tell Someone Where you are Going and How Long you will be Gone.
Tip Number 3 WATER, WATER, WATER! Pre-hydrate (drink plenty of water the night before), carry plenty of water (bring more than you think you will need, and then bring some more), and drink the water you bring.

The Lafayette Municipal Pool
Long Beach, New York
The Lafayette Municipal Pool
SW Corner of Broadway and Lafayette Blvd,
between Broadway and the Boardwalk.
Painted advertisement for the pool on the side of 428 W Broadway, the old Victory Apts., just west of the pool in 1938
The Long Beach Municipal Pool opened for business sometime in the late 1920's. It was the first pool built by the new city. It occupied the SW corner of Lafayette Blvd between Broadway and the boardwalk. The distinctive white stucco building with blue trim and a red Spanish tile roof would provide an alternative to ocean bathing and was recognized by all. It also was the place where a half century of Long Beach kids first learned how to swim. Swim teams were developed here, lifeguards trained here, celebrities showcased here and bands played here. 50 cents would get you in as an adult, a quarter for a kid (it may have been 10 cents at one time)
The advertisement seen above, from the late 1930s, speaks of handball courts, special kids pool, outdoor theatre with movies every night and band concerts 3 times daily. Famous swimmers and divers performed at the pool, especially in the 1930s. It was then that Olympic medalists Eleanor Holm and Johnny Weismuller (of the 1930s Tarzan movies) could be seen performing bits from Billy Rose's famous "Aquacades" act, showcased at the 1939 World's Fair. Eleanor Holm, born in Brooklyn, was the daughter of a New York Fire Department Chief, and learned to swim at the pool, which was near her family's summer cottage in Long Beach.
The pool was originally built with a deep diving end, reported to be about 12 feet deep by people who remember it. Some time later it was filled in to a maximun depth of about 5-6 ft for safety. That is how I remember it in the early 1960's.
The last mention of the outdoor Municipal Pool is in the 1968-69 Long Beach Guide, where it was still advertised as 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for kids. The 1970 guide no longer lists it, and that would be about the time it closed for good, and all activities moved to the year round indoor pool on Magnolia and the bay. The structure remained for some years later, mostly used for beach maintenance offices and storage of life guard chairs and ocean barrels in the winter.
As always, these images would not be possible without the contributions of many people including, but not limited to, the late Dr Kenneth Tydings through his son Dr Albert Tydings, Lowell Taubman, Ellen Spooner, the Long Beach Historical Society, the Long Beach Public Library, the Library of Congress and our own private collection.

Another pool existed, believed to be on Grand Blvd and the boardwalk called the Olympia Pool, or Olympia Baths.. we are doing some research on that one and have located a couple of photos. There were apparently dispays by famous swimmers there also. If you have any information or photos of the Olympia Pool please email us with it !! Thanks !
These two photos, reprinted from a book by the Long Beach Historical Society, show the Olympia Pool. In the photo on the left you can just make out a street light of the type used on the boardwalk in the 30's to the right of the man on the diving board. It is believed this was on Grand Blvd and the boardwalk, unknown exactly where. Please email us if you have any other info on this pool. Thanks

What about short term changes? How many of us think their instruments sound better after playing it x minutes after its been in the case for a week, a month? Can we separate out the player vs instrument warming up by playing a different instrument before testing the "waking-up" nature of the instrument in question?
There is some evidence to bear this out. Instruments that are played get played in certain modes, in certain keys, that cause the wood to vibrate in ways that are more pleasing. The more the instrument is played, the more it starts to respond in certain ways that the physical structure is used to. Think about vibrations in your car. Things start to rub and respond in ways that are typical for the way that car is driven. I feel that same is true for musical instruments: they begin to respond in more musical ways, assuming they are played in ways that produce the desirable sound. Very good, antique violins are often prized not only because of their heritage but because of the great musicians who have played them, this adds to their provenance. This makes them "played in."
I know when my mandolin was not broken in other mandolin players would say "your mandolin sounds great except for the G string". Now many years later the G string sounds great along with the rest of the mandolin. No memory involved, although I know how the G string changed, but others opinions over the years. Now the comments are "that is a great sounding mandolin". The G string is completely different than it was the first several years, it's easy to hear and I don't think my technique could make the change, I have played a long time before this mandolin and have not done anything different that I am aware of, tho it could happen. Many many hours of playing have definitely opened this mandolin up. When new others have said it was bright in the highs, now it is warm and lovely and complex, and a joy to play.
The question I have is. If auditory memory is so short, how did I know Dad's banjo had been apart (post 20) I realize that I'm talking about an instrument that I " knew" very well, had heard every day while I was living at home and had heard many times the difference in sound when it had recently been apart but if not memory how did I know it had been apart after not hearing it for a week or so. I think I noticed every time and never accused wrongly. By the way Dad seldom took the banjo apart, hebwas not one to work on it on a whim.
I went to Gryphon every week for a decade or more when I lived in Palo Alto, and would play everything on the used wall. I must have played a hundred or more D 28s in that time, most were 60s and 70s models which were between twenty and thirty years old. Played many newer ones too. The impression I came away with, was heavy playing had more of an effect than time. I would play a D 28 that had heavy playwear, pick worn through the finish type wear, and they always sounded better to me than very clean examples of the same vintage. Now, the problem is, and has always been, were these instruments better to begin with, and handpicked by advanced players and played a lot, or did playing them a lot make them better? So it impossible for me to say, heavily played instruments sound better because of it. They might very well have been played heavily because they were better to begin with.
But that does not negate that I light up when I see a very played in instrument.

I've always thought it wasn't that my mandolin was necessarily opening up as much as it was a reflection of what I wanted to hear. Which is why some days it just doesn't sound right to me simply because there is a sound in my head that my mandolin isn't going to meet no matter what.
1. Human - can have sinus infections, ear inflammation, bad sleep the night before, etc which contribute to our perception of sound/tone. Also if it's a cold wintery day we probably don't play as dextrously.
2. Weather - temperature and humidity do make physical (geometry) changes to our instruments which can impact tone, as well as the efficiency by which the sound gets to our eardrums. I think warmer, humid days make my mandolin sound the best.. but maybe that's just when I feel the best.
3. The instrument itself

It is the wrong question.
Do instruments change over time?
Well, if you take a new instrument and put it away in a case for 30 years, probably not.
It will probably be a bit lacking from nonuse, and not a lot different than when new.
It might have improved slightly from wood settling in, getting used to the shape they have been forced into.
It might then open up if it is played vigorously over time.
Do instruments change over time when they are played a lot?
Of course they do, especially when they are a finely crafted instrument.
A low end, heavily built instrument has less chance of developing, although it may still improve with playing, and probably will. Anyone who has ever had a fine instrument will see changes in the tone and resonance as the instrument gets played in.
Fine classical instruments (violins, violas, cellos, and double basses) are very changeable over time with consistent playing. I doubt if you can find one pro violinist who will say instruments don't change with consistent playing over time.
You can even use techniques and exercises to train a fine instrument to be better is specific ways.
My viola teacher, when I was a teen, had a wonderful old viola, but was disappointed with the G string compared with the others.
He took it to a specialist who gave him a series of exercises to perform on the instrument every day.
My teacher played these exercises every day and eventually he corrected the issue after 6 months to a year.
Fine quality instruments open up over time, and then can continue to improve over time if they are played a great deal.
I have experienced it in a variety of instruments, from mandolins, to many guitars, to Classical Indian Sitars.
A fine quality Classical Indian Sitar usually takes about a year of hard playing before it "blooms".
It will open up into a very different instrument, with increased volume, sustain, resonance, and sympathetic response.
No one in the sitar world would dispute this fact.
Is there a point the instrument won't improve past?
Sure. An instrument will get to a point where it is just about as good as it is going to get.
It will change with the weather, temp, humidity, etc.
Some times it will sound labored, and some times it will sing, depending on the environment.
BUT in general, from new, a fine instrument can be improved with dedicated playing over time.
Mandolins: Northfield 5-Bar Artist Model "Old Dog", J Bovier F5 Special, Gibson A-00 (1940)
Fiddles: 1920s Strad copy, 1930s Strad copy, Liu Xi T20, Liu Xi T19+ Dark.
Guitars: Taylor 514c (1995), Gibson Southern Jumbo (1940s), Gibson L-48 (1940s), Les Paul Custom (1978), Fender Strat (Black/RWFB) (1984), Fender Strat (Candy Apple Red/MFB) (1985).
Sitars: Hiren Roy KP (1980s), Naskar (1970s), Naskar (1960s).
Misc: 8 Course Lute (L.K.Brown)
Its interesting to note that there are lots of studies about how music changes your brain, which is apparently a lot more plastic than a wooden instrument.
Play it like you mean it.

Everybody says that they're instrument has improved over time but nobody has any recordings to prove it. The recordings would have to be in the same room with the same mic at the same temp and RH, etc etc, so that is probably why.
My two mandos sound pretty much like they did when I bought them, but they sounded good then. Hopefully I have gotten better.
Never say "bouzouki" to a TSA agent...
My new mandolins have all gone through an adjustment period, they feel tight and not openly responsive...tone seems compressed, and they're definitely finicky about staying in tune. That changes quickly with play over 2-4 weeks I believe. I say they think they're still a tree at least for a period of time.
It makes sense to me that the vibration (non-scientific term) of the top changes the response if it gets consistent play unless it's a complete dog from the start.

People believe lots of things and they talk about them a lot.
Sharps/Flats ≠ Accidentals
I then, and now, point out that though guitars and mandolins share wood, wires, and bracing as their means of sound production, they are different machines. There is no compression load on a flat topped guitar, no arch, no tailpiece attachment to endblock...
I consider the guitar research to be relevant to guitars, I think you should too
Additionally, wood does age, and the internal unfinished wood is quite exposed to the environment...my instruments go through radical environmental changes seasonally, and daily.
My more than two cents...ymmv

My experience building mandolins and guitars is that the knowledge gained from one is transferable to the other. And anyway, guitarists say the same thing about their instruments maturing, crystallizing, drying out, etc. Oh yeah, I can tell that guitar sounds great from the eBay pictures, by the way that lacquer checking looks.
I think the only real argument ender is to agree that the instrument itself is a small part of a complex system. There are many things in that system which change considerably, and on a daily basis. The instrument is by far the most static part of the whole system. It's not surprising that we perceive the instrument differently on a daily or minute-by-minute basis. But we don't need to assume the world moves around the elevator.
One thing that never comes up in these discussions is how we all have a vested interest in this phenomenon being real (real, and strong -- personally I do believe it is real, but too small to perceptible).
We have a vested interest because this is a major selling point and rationalization point in used instrument transactions. Hence why there's not a myth that all new instruments sound the best because they haven't been "worn out by all those vibrations, gone all mushy and dead" - that would be great for builders, but terrible for most people to talk about instruments, and engage in buying and selling used instruments.
Things in which we are financially vested tend to skew our perceptions to a great degree.

21st February 2015
We went to Norfolk for Mum's birthday weekend. We popped into Mildenhall to see if the Waxwing was still about. The 1st Winter Female was first seen on top of a birch tree. Then it flew onto some berries in the bush. It perched on top of a small tree to digest the berries before flying down for more. Afterwards it flew back to the birch tree and we went back to the car. As we were close to Lakenheath, we thought we would pop into the visitor centre and have a look on the feeders. There were Reed Buntings, Greenfinches, Chaffinches, Blue & Great Tits. We went to look at Lynford Arboretum to look for Hawfinches. We saw Marsh Tits, Blue, Great & Coal Tits, Grey Squirrel & Nuthatch. We finally spotted a Male Hawfinch feeding right at the back of the feeding station. He was joined briefly by a Female. I only managed a couple of distant record shots. We also saw a Female Brambling feeding at the back as well. While Mum stayed by the feeding station, Dad & I walked to have a look at the paddocks where Hawfinches are sometimes seen. There was Nuthatch, Great, Blue, Marsh, Coal & Long -
Before we went to the B&B at Cley we had a quick look for Snow Buntings at Salthouse. Unfortunately, the car park had all but disappeared due to the storms, although the Turnstones were still about, the Snow Buntings weren't sadly.
Salthouse, Cley & Holkham 22nd February 2015
We started our first day in Norfolk at Salthouse watching the Turnstones foraging along the shingle beach. There were still no Snow Buntings this morning so we continued to the marshes at Cley. We walked along the East Bank where we saw at least 8 -
We continued to Titchwell itself and there was a Woodcock hiding in the undergrowth a few metres away from the car park. We headed to the beach to look for Snow Buntings & Twite. On the beach were a quite few Sanderlings & Bar -

One of the birders told us about some Grey Partridges in the nearby field. I managed a couple of record shots. We had a quick look at Choseley Barns and the only birds of note were Yellowhammers.

It's that magical time of year again when everyone begins to get more festive and it's acceptable to drink mulled wine. You must know what that means? Obviously it means that Hyde park is taken over by bright lights and the smell of roasted chestnuts fills the air. Yes, Winter Wonderland opens its doors for the 11th year today…
Last night I was able to have a nosey around before the general public attend in their thousands at the charity preview evening thanks to the Grosvenor House Hotel (all proceeds go to charity so it's an amazing cause). It was a perfect night, all the rides and attractions are included so you only have to fork out your hard earned money for the necessary food and drink! As there were only a limited number of wristbands available, it also meant that it wasn't as crowded as every time I've been before which was a blessing. (ALSO – very sorry for the state of my photos, my phone has been having a very tough time this week, wishing it a very speedy recovery)
We decided to try out the ice skating rink which is the largest outside UK rink and was lovely as it wasn't too busy. (I'm like Bambi on ice so this was probably a good thing for everyone). It looked so pretty under the lights that you forgot how uncomfortable the plastic skates were. PLUS, I didn't fall over so all in all it was a job well done in my opinion
Thank you so much to Grosvenor House Hotel for the tickets!
To find out more about Winter Wonderland or to book tickets for various attractions click HERE – i'm returning next weekend to one of the Hutte bars for an afternoon on Karaoke so i'll keep you updated with the goings on of that!

When you work in social media, staying up to date on the latest trends is sometimes a struggle. Attending in-person conferences to stay informed can be expensive, especially if you work on a small team or on your own.
Thankfully there are a multitude of ways to continue learning and keep tabs on changes in the digital marketing space. With low cost resources like digital conferences, webinars and Twitter chats, it's easy to find the tools and knowledge that will expand your skill set.
Always Be Learning
It's vital to your career advancement to be constantly learning new skill sets and trends in the industry. Be sure to keep your continued learning cycle consistent and do more than the bare minimum.
Take Time to Learn New Skill Sets
You have to remember to step outside of your own bubble of work. The time you invest in learning new skills outside of your specialized role will help you in the long run, whether that means reaching business goals or personal goals.
Pay Close Attention to Trends
Outside of expanding your skill set, it's important to keep tabs on trends and breaking news for every social platform. Being proactive in this approach will help ensure that brand accounts do not fall behind and are always effectively delivering content.
No Budget for Conferences? No Problem
It may seem like in-person conferences are the most effective way to continue learning, but it's okay to think beyond costly methods to connect with new people and ideas. Digital conferences are a great way to get in-depth information in a short amount of time.
Share Learnings With Leadership
Be your own champion. Start sharing insights gathered from conferences and webinars with senior leadership and list action items from what you've learned to set informed goals for your work. Sharing these ideas shows leadership that you take your career seriously and are capable of taking initiative on new projects.
Be sure to tune in next week, Wednesday, July 26, for #SproutChat at a special time, 3 p.m. CDT. We'll be joined by special guest, Lizz Kannenberg, Director of Content at Sprout Social, where we'll discuss creating impressive content that drives results.
Until then be sure to join our Facebook community to keep up on on all things #SproutChat.

Coming up with the wording for a stellar bridal shower invitation isn't as tough as you think--even if you aren't exactly a creative type. The key to penning a perfect bridal shower invitation is to put your own apprehensions aside and think about the couple getting married. Drawing from their desires, interests and relationship with you will provide all the inspiration you need to capture the vibe of the event in just a few short lines. Remember--the simpler the better.
Basic Information
Before beginning to think creatively about invitation wording, remember to include the very basic information guests will need for the event. Be sure to specify the event is a bridal shower, and include the brides' name, where the event will be held, where the event is located, what time the event will take place, and an RSVP name and phone number. Also be sure to specify the date by which guests must respond.
Creative Wording
A basic, traditional bridal shower invitation will likely say, "Please join us for a bridal shower honoring (bride's name)," followed by all the other appropriate information. While this will always work, you may want your bridal shower's invitations to send a message about the intended mood or theme of the event. Some suggestions include writing a short poem about the bride-to-be or the engaged couple, or using plays on words that coincide with the party theme or favors. For example, if the favors include coffee or tea, phrases such as "love is brewing," or "the perfect blend" would work.
You could also introduce the information by saying "(Bride) and (Groom) are tying the knot" or "Let's shower the bride-to-be with love."
Special Considerations
It is usually not customary for the person throwing the shower to have their name included on the invitation, unless they are the person guests will RSVP to. Consider more generic wording, such as "join the happy bridesmaids/mothers/friends as they celebrate the marriage of (bride)."
If the bridal shower is a surprise, be sure to make note of this prominently in the invitation wording. Differentiate the word "surprise" with bold, larger or different colored lettering, or be sure "Shhh! It's a surprise!" is displayed at the top of the invitation.
Include where the bride is registered. Or, note prominently that the bride does not want gifts (for giftless showers). In addition, be sure to specify any special instructions, such as whether guests should bring a recipe, a kitchen utensil or some other smaller sentimental item the bride can keep and cherish.
Don't forget jack-and-jill showers and showers for gay couples. These events allow for even more creativity. Be sure to cater to the tastes of both parties and capture their unique style.

Over the past few years I've experienced an uncomfortable shift. It started when several of my friend's dads/husbands graduated to heaven. These were men who had a great impact on my life. They were faithful men who loved their families and their God.
In the past two years, just among my Jones cousins, we lost three of our parents. Three people who have ALWAYS been in our lives. Just a couple of weeks ago, a cousin's husband lost his epic battle with MS and last year another cousin's 9 year old daughter lost her battle with DIPG.
Every day I see it on Facebook and in the news. Parents, siblings, grandparents, children. . . On and on it goes. I know this is life. After all, I am in that uncomfortable middle age where the parents are leaving us and we are left with the realization that the generation between us and death is shrinking.
Of course, for me, like a tectonic plate shifting underground leaving big cracks in the earth, the earthquake of my own father's death on August 30th changed my life forever.And now, I face a question many others before me have asked. We know we must go on. But how? How do we live in a world without them? How is that even possible?
One of the difficult things for me is the realization that the future generations of my family will never know my dad. Much like the dismay I often feel when I realize that my husband never met any of my grandparents except Grandma Jones and Grandma Elizabeth, it makes me so sad. Even my youngest niece and nephew won't have the memories of Daddy that the older ones have. The majority of their memories are of a grandpa unable to talk, struggling to stand, tucked into bed where they would climb up and hug him goodnight. But the Grandpa who at 75 raced his grandson across the picnic ground. . . they don't remember that.
I remember Grandpa McKnight expressing these same feelings. "Susie," he said to me one day, a wistful tone in his voice. "I sure wish you could have known your Grandma McKnight's Grandpa Stover. He was a wonderful man." Then he brightened and said, "But someday in heaven you will!" Then he pumped his fist in the air and shook with unshed tears. I guess this sadness is normal, or at least hereditary.
Something happened with my husband and my grandparents, though, that encourages me. It is no secret that I am a storyteller. A talker. A reminiscer. (Yes, I just made up a word.) Bruce has heard me tell the same stories over so many times, and my family has talked about being Grandpa McKnight's "favorite oldest South Dakota granddaughter" and other Grandpa-isms that Bruce has internalized it. He will say, "Grandpa McKnight would have liked that." And he is right. I could share similar stories about the things he has learned about my other grandparents.
We can keep them alive in the minds of those that come behind with the stories, the memories, their quirks, their strengths, and maybe even their weaknesses. As I was thinking about this today I pulled out an old journal book to use for another purpose. I read the last thing written in it. There was no date, but it was written after we put the addition on the house Bruce grew up in.
This is the prayer I wrote:
Thank you LORD for our home.
For this house, the old part and the new.
Thank you for the couple who built this house to be their home.
For the young soldier who stretched the distance his leave allowed in order to make their home livable for his bride while he was gone to war.
Thank you for the love that sustained them through the separation that war brings.
Thank you for the care with which they raised their four boys, sacrificing many of their own dreams and possibilities to provide all the boys needed.
Thank you that they chose to be better parents even than theirs were, and in so doing raised four men of solid, honest character.
Thank you for all of the treasures they saved, the big and the small.
The lifetime of joys and sorrows written in the things left behind.
Thank you that I have the privilege of learning who these precious people truly were, bit by bit, through the things and people left behind.
I don't have a tidy, clever ending for this. I'm still muddling through the shifted earth, trying not to fall into cracks that weren't there before. But this I know. There is solid rock on which to stand and that is Christ.
"On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. . . "
So, I'll stand on that rock instead of the shifting sands of my emotions.
Thank you Lord for elders who taught me this truth. Help me to be one who helps those who follow to understand just who it was that came before them, and the wonderful gift that is their legacy.

Реферат на тему Euthanasia DebatePhl Essay Research Paper Passive euthanasia
Euthanasia Debate(Phl) Essay, Research Paper
Passive euthanasia is the deliberate disconnection of life support equipment, or cessation of any life sustaining medical procedure, permitting the natural death of the patient (EROG). Allowing an individual the right to choose if they want to fight to save their own life or to be allowed to die a nature death is becoming a major issue in todays society. This is not just a present day issue; it has been a topic of debate for many years. In 1906 Ohio drafted Its first euthanasia bill and then in 1938 The Euthanasia Society of America was founded (EROG). 1976 though was a turning point for euthanasia in the United States as the Quinlan Family goes all the way to the New Jersey Supreme Court to be allowed to disconnect the respirator from their comatose daughter. The courts approved the families request (EROG). Also in 1976 California passes the nations first Living Will law. A Living Will is the popular name for an advance directive by which a person requests in writing for a physician not to connect life supporting equipment if this procedure is merely going to delay an inevi death (EROG). There are many people who feel that they do not want to have their death delayed by extraordinary means. Allowing passive euthanasia, gives individuals the right to decide about their own life. A right that I will try to show to you should not be taken away from any person.
All possible means should be used to save a life. This is not the best possible alternative. Life at all cost can become an enormous financial stress for families. There is also the added stress of taking care of a loved of that is totally dependent on others. When others are allowed to make the decision for live at all cost for an individual that is seriously ill or injured, they are generally thinking only of themselves and not the quality of life this person may have after the illness or injury. As John Miller states in one of his articles in The American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care; When we fall to the extremes, we take choices away from those who we believe we are helping. Life at all cost if allowed could be taken to the extreme.
Values Protected
Assisted Suicide Passive euthanasia Life at all cost
Freedom of choice.Death with dignity.Individual liberty. Freedom of choice.Death with dignity.Individual liberty.Financial stability for families.Quality of life. Preservation of life.Protection of Doctors oath.Love and caring of a family member.
With assisted suicide and passive euthanasia, a patient is given the freedom to choose what happens with their life; but with life at all cost it is usually the family or the medical personal making the decisions for the patient. Protection of a doctors medical oath comes secondary to the freedom to choice for an individual. Taking away a persons right to make their own decision about their life is not correct. No one knows what is best for an individual except the person involved in the decision. According to the Hemlock Society, if you are terminally ill, a person has the right to use treatment even if they will die without it. To demand and to receive adequate medication for pain control even if it will shorten your life. Life at all cost can be very expensive. Medical procedures and health care for a patient can be taken too far, cost families a great deal of money and emotional stress of taking care of a loved one. With passive euthanasia a patient is allowed to die with dignity. There is no extraordinary measure taken to save the patients life, which can also lower the medical expenses a family endures through a tragedy. Passive euthanasia allows a person to die naturally and with todays hospice programs, the patient is medicated to help relieve the unwanted pain. Assisted suicide or life at all cost can be considered extremes in todays society. As John Miller states in his article called Hospice Care or Assisted Suicide; When we fall to the extremes. We take choices away from those who we believe we are helping. But, there is a middle ground. When we aim for that middle ground, we all win.
Double Effect
G.C.= Patient dies a nature death.
(A1) Passive euthanasia
B.C.=Feeling of guilt.
1. Passive euthanasia is indifferent. (pass)
2. The feeling of guilt (bc) does not bring about the natural death of the patient (gc). (pass)
3. The feeling of guilt (bc) is not intended. (pass)
4. To allow a natural death (gc) is worth permitting the feeling of guilt (bc). (pass)
G.C.= No more pain and suffering for the patient.
(A2) Assisted suicide
B.C.= Death.
1. Assisted suicide is indifferent. (pass)
2. Death (bc) does bring about No more pain and suffering for the patient (gc). (fail)
G.C.= Life.
(A3) Life at all cost.-
B.C.= Patient may suffer great pain.
1. Life at all cost is indifferent. (pass)
2. Patient may suffer great pain (bc) does bring about Life. (fail)
After applying the double effect criteria, a conclusion can be reached that passive euthanasia is morally accep. Assisted suicide is ending a life before it is suppose to end. Life at all cost does not benefit the patient; it only puts a patient through a possible painful dreaded life to lead. Allowing a person to make their own decisions is an absolute right that we all have. So if a person decided to use medical treatment, it is their right to do so. Most doctors do not take the Hippocratic Oath nowadays. They take an oath, which emphasizes the relief of suffering and respecting their patients wishes. (Girsh) Now doctors can protect the rights of life instead of just life in itself. Action taken to relieve the suffering of the patient at the risk of perhaps shortening their life. This sort of action is part of a doctors calling. His vocation is not only that of curing diseases or prolonging life, but, much more generally, also that of taking care of a sick person and relieving their suffering. (ORourke) The policy statement on passive euthanasia for the American Medical Association states;
The intentional termination of life of one human being by another-mercy killing- is contrary to that for which the medical profession stands and is contrary to the policy of the American Medical Association.
The cessation of the employment of extraordinary means to prolong the life of the body when there is iru evidence that biological death is imminent is the decision of the patient and/or their immediate family. The advice and judgment of the physician should be freely available to the patient and/or their immediate family. (Pojman)
Bad consequences
The feeling of guilt, for not fighting to save a life that possibly could be saved is a lot for some people to deal with. But this feeling of guilt can be reduced with the understanding that the patient fully understands what the outcome of usal of treatment and that it is the patients right to choose whether to battle life or not. When a family member feels the guilt of watching a loved one die. The family should be counseled and informed that this is the wish and the right of the patient. Prolonging an individuals life is not always best for the family. They may end up dealing with the dying process longer than it is actually necessary to do so. Family needs to offer comfort and reassurance to the patient, so the patient knows that their family is behind them to the end. In the second edition of Ethics of Health Care the authors state:
A decision to allow oneself to die in such circumstances is not equivalent of suicide. On the contrary it should be considered as an acceptance of the human condition, or a wish to avoid the application of a medical disproportionate to the results that can be expected, or a desire not to impose excessive expense on the family or the community. (Ashley)
A persons right of freedom to decide what is best for themselves is an absolute right. A right that cannot be taken away from anybody. No person should have to suffer through extraordinary means to live. If an individual has the knowledge given to them that their death is imminent, they should be allowed to use treatment to prolong their life, but they should still be allowed assistance when dealing with the physical and emotional pain of dying.

An estimated crowd of over 10,000 people descended on Skibbereen town last Monday evening to celebrate the homecoming of Olympic silver medal winners Gary and Paul O'Donovan to their native town, on an unforgettable night that will live long in the memory of all those present.
Skibbereen town was looking resplendent for the occasion as throngs of people, both old and young, from far and near, gathered to pay homage to their local heroes. The town was bedecked with flags and souvenir posters commemorating the success of the Lisheen brothers, who captured the hearts of the nation with their stunning performances and charming manner throughout the Olympic Games.
Skibbereen was a sea of people and a hive of activity on a fun-filled night, as thousands turned out. The brothers, joined by their friends and family, were led through the town in an open top double decker bus by a cavalcade of vehicles and St Fachtna's Silver Band, much to the delight of their enthusiastic supporters. Pupils of the boy's former national school, Lisheen NS, sang a specially penned song for their idols. Their colleagues in Skibbereen Rowing Club also escorted the bus through the packed streets. The main event of the evening took place in the Fairfield car park, where dignitaries gathered to pay tribute.
The Olympians were thrilled with their triumphant return to West Cork. Paul, who rowed to individual success in the lightweight sculls in the World Championships last Saturday in Rotterdam, revealed their joy at capturing a silver medal in Rio. "It was a great achievement, a great few weeks for us, a great honour. We will train hard and prepare well for more glory down the line."
Elder brother Gary summed up their jubilation and pride in representing their country at the Olympics. "It was a great honour to represent our country, our county, West Cork and Skibbereen. It has been an unforgettable experience."

Last Word: Two Bay Area houses underline the housing crisis
You know real estate is out of control when ...
A fire-blackened home in San Jose is up for sale at $800,000. Now a Fremont house that's condemned due to a leaky roof and mildew just sold for $1.23 million, $230,000 over the asking price. This pair of knockdowns are telling us what we don't want to hear. The housing crisis is getting worse to an absurd degree.
Calling them dumps is an insult to trash heaps. Each house is a teardown, meaning it's the land that's up for sale. Whatever comes next will be more expensive, likely in the $2 million plus range. No wonder people sleep in tents and under freeways.
Real estate war stories get people talking. Maybe these two examples will get the Bay Area and the rest of California headed toward action. Sacramento just whiffed by voting down a plan obliging cities to build more dwelling units.
If that message stands, get ready for more million-dollar wrecks in your neighborhood.

Moscow (AFP) – Bayer Leverkusen played out a 1-1 draw at CSKA Moscow on Tuesday to put the German club on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages.
Kevin Volland put Leverkusen ahead after 16 minutes before Israeli international Bibras Natcho converted a second-half penalty to snatch a draw for the Russian club.
Leverkusen will be assured of qualifying if Monaco beat English club Tottenham in Group E later Tuesday.
The visitors started in a lively fashion and in the eighth minute Hakan Calhanoglu squandered a chance for an opener sending the ball inches wide off the far left post with an angled low shot.
CSKA replied with a shot by Alexander Golovin from the edge of the six-yard box, which was confidently denied by Bernd Leno.
In the 16th minute Volland made CSKA pay for loss of concentration as he escaped an offside trap to latch on to a razor-sharp pass by Kevin Kampl, who fired the ball home from eight yards out past helpless 'keeper Igor Akinfeev.
Alan Dzagoev, who has returned after two months out with injury, missed an opportunity to level just before the half-hour mark as his seven-yard volley flew just over the crossbar.
Bayer skipper Omer Toprak also sent the ball into the net in the 39th minute but his goal was rightly ruled out for offside.
After the break CSKA, who needed to win to keep alive their hopes for a place in the knockout stages, poured forwards and in the 69th minute Alexander Golovin failed to score from a rebound from just four yards out.
But in the 76th minute Natcho pulled level from the spot after Bayer back Benjamin Henrichs fouled Mario Fernandes in the box.
Volland could have restored the visitors' lead with 10 minutes to go but his curling close-range effort hit the woodwork and bounced back into play.

Internet superstar Tay Zonday has set his sights on being Paris Hilton's best friend.
In a campy move that could make for an utterly hilarious reason — and possibly the only one — to watch yet another MTV reality show, the baby-faced "Chocolate Rain" crooner has answered an online casting call for the hotel heiress' upcoming series, I Wanna Be Paris' New Best Friend.
But is Zonday's online celebrity enough to make the leap from the small screen to prime time? The audition reel (right) is less than inspiring and doesn't reveal any television-worthy nuggets.
Only time will tell — so far, the web celeb has netted more than 100,000 votes, and is currently in third place for show consideration.

Game: Forza Horizon 2
Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Release Date: 30/09/2014
Just as it did with the first Forza Horizon game, Playground Games held an exclusive pre-release media at the studio's headquarters in Leamington Spa, and invited Team VVV to try out the anticipated open-world racer.
Along with having a quick go on FH2, our very own Alan Boiston also got to have a quick chat with Horizon 2 Creative Director Ralph Fulton, quizzing him on all aspects of the game's conception, development and overall ambition.
To find out more about what was discussed, watch the full interview in the video below.

…and send a note to someone!
it's so sad that the post office is in so much financial trouble. you can read an interesting story about it here. the real tragedy (ok not really) is that so few letters personal notes are being sent. i can appreciate the effort "to go green" and reduce all the unnecessary and superfluous paper out there (good-bye junk mail!). but i still find so much joy in sending ( and receiving) a hand-written note on carefully selected paper, written with a special pen, and consumed with deliberate thought. i can't imagine an entirely electronic world.
i'll have to add these to my wish list:
