David Cameron's speech to the Tory faithful today will warn the nation he plans to preside over more hardships and cuts.
But our message to the Prime Minister is this: It's time you started listening to the British people. Stop talking us down and give us the chances we need.
Mr Cameron will use his big conference speech to say he knows how difficult times are for us all.
He will try to match Ed Miliband's performance last week by talking about his own family's troubles.
And he will target UKIP's threat to steal Conservative votes by signalling there will be a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union.
But above all Mr Cameron – who celebrated his 46th birthday last night with a curry with wife Samantha, 41 – will say that mending the nation's finances is "not complicated". It simply means more hardship and pain, including extra welfare cuts.
Is this a man who, as he claims, really understands what life is like for millions of families in Britain?
Perhaps reading the three letters from Mirror readers we publish today will make him think again.
Ex-Coldstream Guardsman Barry Witham, 37, is struggling to find a job to support wife Donna, 33, and their children Natasha, 15, and Liam, nine.
Barry, from Middlesbrough, says: "I have applied for countless positions. It is so demoralising. At my last interview there were 150 people going for one job.
"I've had a heart attack. The doctors said stress of not being in work may have contributed."
A letter from Ellen Arthur, 15, of Abingdon, Oxford, says: "I'm angry. Councils are cutting services deaf children such as me need to achieve their potential."
Mr Cameron should also read the message from Terri Balon, 50, who is registered blind and lives with her daughters, Kimberley 20, Georgina, 18, and Francesca, 16, in Leigh, Lancs.
She says: "This Government seems to think the longer you're blind the less help and support you need. It isn't true."
She tells the Prime Minister: "There is no more money to take from us – nothing left to give."
Mr Cameron's speech will warn: "Unless we take difficult and painful decisions Britain may not be in the future what it has in the past.
"We are in an hour of reckoning for a country like ours – sink or swim, do or decline. It's tough. These are difficult times. How will we come through it? Again, it's not complicated. Hard work. Strong families. Taking responsibility."
He will also say a referendum, possibly after the 2015 general election, will be the "cleanest, simplest and neatest" way of letting the country decide if we want closer ties with the EU.
Mr Cameron will speak about his stockbroker father who was disabled "born with no heels and with legs about a foot shorter than they're meant to be". And he will reveal for the first time his grandparents' marriage broke up.
The Tory leader will be speaking after the International Monetary Fund's shock forecast that the UK will shrink by 0.4% this year instead of its earlier expectations of 0.2% growth.
The IMF also said George Osborne's deficit reduction targets will be missed.
But Mr Cameron insists: "It's not Plan B that we need. What we're doing is making sure that every part of Plan A is firing on all cylinders.
"It's a slow and difficult healing process."
Blind mum-of-three Terri Balon, 51, lives in Leigh, Greater Manchester, and relies on benefits to survive
I WAS born severely sight-impaired but in my 30s, when I had children, it deteriorated even more.
My condition, aniridia, runs in the family and means my vision is like looking through an opaque bathroom window. I have also developed glaucoma.
To me, your Government does not understand disability. I rely on my disability living allowance of £105.90 a week to get by, but more than half of that goes on paid assistance, where a carer comes round for 12 hours every week.
Once they discovered a jam jar full of fly eggs where my daughters hadn't resealed it properly – I would never have noticed.
Can you imagine what it would have been like if I'd eaten them?
I have to spend a lot of money on washing powder because I'm more likely to get my clothes dirty. It also means it's costing more in terms of electricity and wear and tear on the washing machine itself.
The bus stop is five minutes away, which might not sound very far, but when you're carrying heavy shopping and using a cane, using a taxi is the only option. That can be as much as £24 a week.
I don't go out, I don't drink, I don't have money for treats or anything special and I can't really cook meals from scratch, so I rely on ready meals, which makes shopping more expensive. My weekly food bill can be as much as £120 a week.
I don't need anything else to make me feel like a second class citizen, I already do. But any changes to DLA will make life untenable.
I fear for my three daughters' future. There's already a school of thought that suggests those on benefits don't deserve them and don't want to work. This simply isn't true. Ask any disabled person and most will tell you they'd love to work if only they could.
I'm also a single parent, which brings its own stigma.
There's a belief that the children of those on benefits will grow up on them too. Again, that's not true.
Please don't make any more cuts. The impact they have makes people more vulnerable and I fear for what will happen if more is taken from those who desperately need it.
Deaf teenager Ellen Arthur, 15, of Abingdon, Oxfordshire, is fighting to defend the rights of youngsters
I am angry. Being a teenager is difficult enough but for many deaf young people like me it can be even more challenging if we can't access things other young people take for granted – such as being able to hear what teachers say.
But councils are cutting services deaf children need to achieve their full potential.
That's why I want to tell your MPs about the Stolen Futures campaign, run by the National Deaf Children's Society.
I am one of the lucky ones, my mainstream school provides specialist support from a Teacher of the Deaf and a teaching assistant.
They make sure I understand lessons and monitor my progress. With this extra support, I am doing very well and feel fully included in school life.
But I have friends who are not so fortunate. Their help has been cut by penny-pinching councils and, as a result, they have failed their GCSEs.
It upsets me that many deaf children in England are being deprived of the right to good education, so are failing in school.
I know that deaf children can do everything like other children, they just need to have the right support. In fact, I would like to become a teacher to support children like myself.
That's why I have come to the Tory party conference. It is important for me because I want to help to make changes for the future.
This is the party in power and I have come to tell MPs about the impact of funding cuts on schools.
It makes me angry that friends and other deaf youngsters are not getting the support I receive and you need to stop them falling behind in class.
It is essential to help deaf children get through school and make the most of their lives.
Not everyone has the same experience and everyone has very different needs but, without the support at school, deaf children will be disadvantaged in later life through no fault of their own.
I want MPs to be aware of the issues and the need to improve services and not cut them. So, please, we need your support.
* The NDCS believes deaf children are being set up to fail and wants to collect 100,000 signatures on its e-petition to force the Government to explain what it will do to protect services for deaf children. You can sign the petition at: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/34073
Unemployed Barry Witham, 37, of Middlesbrough, is struggling to find work in austerity Britain
I have been unemployed almost three years, but I'm desperate for a job. I started off in the Army at 16 and went into the Coldstream Guards.
I left after a year because my wife Donna was ill after our first child. So I did a two-year mechanics course and studied numeracy and literacy.
After working in garages more than 10 years I lost my job and have struggled to find anything since.
I have applied for countless positions, but you get 200 or 300 turning up for the same job.
It is so demoralising – at my last interview, there were 150 people. It was ridiculous.
I have been volunteering at my son's school's breakfast club to build up my CV.
But in August I had a heart attack. Doctors said the stress of not being in work may have contributed to my condition.
Now I have to declare that I have been ill, and I think: who will give me work?
I am on Employment Support Allowance, and have to wait for an MRI scan before I go for physical jobs.
It may have to be a desk job, which is just not me.
Child benefit is £33 a week and child tax credit £111 a week for two children.
My ESA is £222 a fortnight for me and my wife.
I was on Jobseeker's Allowance before my heart attack, but now I have to be on the sick.
We are always short of money. School uniforms are not cheap.
Me and Donna have been together 16 years, but we've never had a holiday.
We don't spend money socialising. We get housing benefit of about £85 a week to cover the rent.
We wanted more children but if child benefits were cut, we couldn't even think about having another child.
We are on the breadline.
Try walking around in my shoes for a while. I'll see what it's like to live on your income.
I don't agree with families having seven, eight or nine kids, just so they can have more money.
But who are you to tell us how many children we can have? You don't have a clue how the other half live.
All I want is a decent job for a fair wage. Instead we struggle day to day.
If the washer or TV breaks, we need hire purchase to replace them. We have expensive Provident and Shopacheck loans.
I'm desperate to work but there is so much competition.
Something has to be done about people who abuse benefits, but it is not all of us.
Don't tar us all with the same brush.

A reusable shopping bag, sometimes called bag for life is a type of shopping bag which can be reused several times: this is an alternative of single use paper or plastic bags. It is often made from fabric such as canvas, woven synthetic fibers, or a thick plastic that is more durable than disposable plastic bags, allowing multiple use.
Reusable shopping bags are a kind of carrier bags, which are available for sale in supermarkets and apparel shops. Reusable shopping bags require more energy to produce than common plastic shopping bags. One reusable bag requires the same amount of energy as an estimated 28 traditional plastic shopping bags or eight paper bags.
An unpublished report from the UK's Environment Agency found that when compared to a traditional plastic bag, a canvas or cotton reusable bag would have to be reused a total of 171 times to offset the higher carbon emissions. The same study found however that the average cotton bag is used only 51 times before being thrown away.

"Obama developed a real feud with Bibi [Netanyahu]," Podesta said in an email dated May 12, 2015.
According to Rouse's email to her father, some people had expressed fear that Clinton could become "the most unfriendly [US president] to Israel in our history, worse than Obama."
On October 8, WikiLeaks began releasing emails to and from Podesta. Since then, the secret-documents website has released 11 additional troves of emails, with the latest on Wednesday.

After just six months on the job, Uber president Jeff Jones has resigned.
According to the AP, Uber has not identified a reason for Jones's resignation. Their statement on the matter was brief, reading "We want to thank Jeff for his six months at the company and wish him all the best."
Jones, however, has stated on the record that his values are not congruent with those of the company.
"The beliefs and approach to leadership that have guided my career are inconsistent with what I saw and experienced at Uber, and I can no longer continue as president of the ride-sharing business," he explained in a statement.
This departure is one in a flurry of resignations. Failing to disclose a sexual harassment allegation at Google, where he was previously employed, engineering executive Amal Singhal quit after only five weeks. Ed Baker, vice president of product and growth, as well as Charlie Miller, the company's top security researcher, both recently left Uber as well.
In the meantime, the San Francisco-based company is embroiled in controversies. CEO Travis Kalanick was caught on tape verbally abusing a driver who had asked about rate cuts. And last month former Uber employee Susan J. Fowler revealed the company's sinister efforts to conceal workplace sexual harassment. It's no surprise that attracting—and keeping—employees of any sort is difficult right now.

Veteran to adopt beagle he rescued on I-470
Aaron Schneider to take unclaimed injured pup
A Kansas City-area Iraq War veteran who risked life and limb to rescue a badly wounded beagle has taken the dog home with him.
Last week, Aaron Schneider spotted the dog on the side of Interstate 470 in Lee's Summit. He rushed into traffic to pick him up and brought the badly injured dog to a veterinarian's office.
Schneider and the dog, known now as Buster, were reunited Tuesday. He said since no one stepped forward to claim Buster, he will adopt him.
"After you go through something like that, you just bond," he said. "It tugs on my heart. I lost a dog to a car, so to save a dog, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome."
The veterinarians at Blue Pearl Veterinary Partners worked to treat Buster for five broken ribs and a hole in his lung. He also needed a blood transfusion and was given a blood donation from another dog.

Temperature & Humidity
It's not enough to just designate a spacious, well lit area for your new hydroponics garden. You need to provide the appropriate microclimate for maximum production.
Proper temperature and humidity also repels bugs, algae, fungus and disease.
How to Grow Hydroponics:
Temperature Requirements
so maybe you're tired of hearing this by now... but it's so important!
The proper temperature range is such a basic and crucial element to a
successful hydroponic garden that we don't want you to overlook it!
Remember the magic optimal range: 65-80°.
There are two types of vegetable crops, each requiring a different temperature range:
- Warm season crops and herbs: [tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cukes, beans, squash, melons, herbs]
Daytime: 70-80 degrees; Nighttime: 60-70 degrees. Absolute max temp=90 degrees
- Cool season crops: [broccoli, cabbage, lettuces, endive, peas, spinach, green onions]
Daytime: 60-70 degrees; Nighttime: 50-60 degrees. Absolute minimum temp=40 degrees
you can mix them up some (like growing lettuce with tomatoes) by
compromising on temperature. But in general, you'll have the best
results if you grow seasonal crops together, grouped as above. So you
can stay within the best temperature range.
More on seasonal crops and when to grow them here: Hydroponic Vegetables.
How to grow hydroponics:
You might get the
idea that since warm temperatures seem to spur plant growth, then why
not keep it warm in there 24/7?
Well, it just doesn't work that way.
Plant metabolism requires a cool-down at night. For optimal plant growth
and crop production, shoot for a 10 degree drop in temperature at night (at the same time the grow lights are off).
They make a thermometer which records the high and low temperatures reached during the day. This is very helpful:
Or get a combination thermometer/hygrometer (+humidity readings) and place the probe near your plants.
This one, from EcoPlus, has large, easy-to-read numbers:
You can order either one of these Instruments here: Cheap Hydroponic Supplies.
At the bare minimum, you absolutely need a plain thermometer, under the grow lights, where the plants are.
How to Grow Hydroponics: Humidity
Have you ever been in a moist and humid
orchid greenhouse? Then you might have the idea that the highest
possible humidity would be best for your hydroponics crops, too. But
this is not so. The optimal humidity range for vegetable crops is 50-80%
RH (relative humidity), with 50% being the best.
If it gets too
humid, plants are unable to transpire (breathe) properly. Very humid
air is also perfect for powdery mildew and nasty funguses to take hold.
Very high or low humidity makes pollination difficult (a very important
process addressed fully here: Plant Pollination).
a hygrometer or thermometer-hygrometer combo and hang it right in your
unit so you can keep tabs on this daily. You may be surprised to see how
low the humidity in your air-conditioned or gas-heated living room
really is.
How to raise the humidity in your garden space? Buy an
inexpensive room humidifier or vaporizer and plug it in next to your
unit. These are cheap, too. This one costs $26 at WalMart:
Chances are slim that your inside humidity
is too high, however, the cure for that is a fan, which you need,
anyway. Air movement helps prevents mold and fungus, and promotes air
Now, listen... you don't want your crops blasted with a
big box fan set on high. What you do want is a small oscillating
(turning) fan set on low to gently refresh the humid, stale air around
your plant's leaves. You want to see slight, gentle leaf movement. This
fan should be left on 24 hours a day.
These are cheap, too. They cost about $15:
Yep, you guessed it... WalMart. Oh, throw in another $5 and get the floor model.
If you have set up in a damp basement,
you might want to invest in a portable dehumidifier unit (good anyway,
to help prevent mildew).
if you are growing in a closed-off room, with no windows, you may need
an exhaust fan to vent the moisture and stale air to the outside, like
the kind used in a bathroom.

The performances…are an almost unalloyed pleasure. Both Lenka Máčiková and Kateřína Kněžíková are gifted actresses, and each is a fine lyric soprano. Jaroslav Březina…acts with great energy and self-control. He possesses as well a refined vocal technique…Vojtěch Spurný leads a sprightly, disciplined performance. His orchestra displays enough technique and silky phrasing to make it clear they don't just hang around Schwarzenberg when the opera's not in season.
Ondřej Havelka does an excellent job of blocking his actors, both in the opera, and in its modern Prolog that features the cast supposedly getting ready to perform.
There's also a documentary about the castle theater included with the opera. It's sumptuously photographed and insightful in its further display of the architecture and stage machinery.
…the production itself shines. It's solidly performed and directed in a way that emphasizes the behind-the-scenes mechanical contrivances of its risen-from-its-ashes 18th-century theater. This is an excellent halfway house to period productions, and just plain fun. © 2014 Fanfare Read complete review
…Dove è amore è gelosia [is] a charming piece on many levels, musically swift and bright and easy on the ear.
A very young cast chosen from the Prague National Theater brings a slight air of collegiate theatricals to the proceedings but it's all for the good as the story veers closer and closer to farce. Their enjoyment levels are palpable…Sopranos Lenka Máciková as the Marquise and Katerina Knezíková as Vespetta, show the most polish.
Compliments should go to Jana Zborilová for her lovely costumes which have no trouble concurrently blending in and standing out from their overtly baroque surroundings. Also, the very witty staging by Ondrej Havelka puts a fresh face on a lot of very old routines
The glory of this performance and the true star of the evening is the theater of Cesky Krumlov itself. This last true baroque wooden theater in the world that hasn't been modernized is now restored with painstaking attention to detail. The very first set change…won my astonished gasp as I watched the flies, wings, and backdrop switch out simultaneously in near-perfect synchronicity.
An hour-long documentary goes into serious detail about the history of the theater and the opera…it's well worth watching. Before pictures of the theater in total disrepair are shocking and the working model for the riggings is truly fascinating.
DTS Digital sound is crystal and the picture is so good it makes you feel like you're there. For lovers of the baroque, or theater itself, this really is a must have. © 2013 Parterre Box Read complete review

More captivating than the work, the theater or the period charm are the four attractive, fine-acting young singers—sopranos Lenka Máčiková, a Clarice with an edge to her voice and temperament to burn, and Katerina Knežiková, a Vespetta whose phrasing is nuanced and deliciously suggestive; tenors Aleš Briscein, an Orazio of aristocratic, sweet tone when the line doesn't run low, and Jaroslav Brezina, a Patrizio of heartier voice at home in a lower tessitura. © 2013 Opera News Read complete review
It is difficult to single out any of the singers. All convey their anguish (and their sense of joy at inflicting anguish), and their satisfaction when they have sorted out all the confusion created throughout the course of this delightful farce. Non-speakers of Italian are greatly helped by the onscreen translations…
Enjoy this amusing performance. © 2013 The WholeNote Read complete review

The stage business is more wholeheartedly 18th-century…from the handsome costumes and sets…to the bewigged, candlelit period orchestra in the pit and conductor's rolled-paper baton. The cast's gestures and moves are of the kind standard in most modern-day buffa productions…but in truth nothing more seems necessary here than to sing and act with skill and wit, which the four Czech singers all manage very well.
The opera itself is an appropriate choice…The libretto by the talented Marco Coltellini is firm and smart, and the music by a composer of over 30 serious and comic operas follows its moods skilfully, with some clever gags along the way…The orchestral playing and conducting are neat and tidy, and there is a 55-minute documentary on the theatre to boot. © 2013 Gramophone Read complete review on Gramophone

Chapter 8: 'Forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing!' Other
Problems, Extremes and the Social World of Jesus
Chapter 9: Red Tory Christ
Chapter 10: Conclusion
You can also pick up a copy on Amazon, if you so wish:
Amazon.com: Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism: Quests, Scholarship and Ideology (BibleWorld) (9781908049704): James G Crossley: Books.
Update 6/26/12:
My review copy of Jesus in an Age of Neoliberalism arrived yesterday and I had some extra time that I could skim through it and make some initial impressions. What struck me first was the weight of the book; for the subject matter, at over 250 pages, it covers quite a bit. James Crossley and I had talked about the publication and he mentioned that I would be in the volume so, the narcissist that I am, I eagerly looked myself up in the book (this being the second volume that I know of to discuss my forthcoming collection of essays, in which James Crossley has a chapter, it was rather exciting). I was pleased to see that Crossley references both my blog and 'Is This Not the Carpenter' on several occasions, all in good order. Interestingly, Crossley cites me within the context of the Jesus Project, and he spends a great deal of time on the Project as a whole, in a manner which is both responsible and apt–and he would know since, like myself, he was a part of it. I'll cover more on this issue when I get to reviewing that chapter at some point in the next month or so.
One minor correction (which is not Crossley's fault) which should be highlighted is that he lists me as a mythicist. At the time of the Jesus Project in 2008-2009 I did consider myself a mythicist, and by the time Crossley had submitted his manuscript to Equinox for publication, I had not clearly denounced that affiliation. Crossley is aware of the change but, alas, it is too late to rectify the volume!
I browsed through the rest of the volume with interest and found the range of topics compelling. Crossley's book, while he admits is not comprehensive, is perhaps the most solid examination thus far of the subject of the political-social-religious reception of the figure of Jesus across the spectrum. From atheists and secularists, to fundamentalists, to republicans and liberals, to diverse social groups, concerning confessional theology and presuppositional apologetics, Crossley does an exceptional job of laying out the subject. And he isn't doing it to make friends. From the brief exposition into the volume, no one comes away from the volume feeling clean and unscathed. And that is a good thing. It keeps the world of New Testamentlers honest.
UPDATE 6/29/12: Chapter 1
Because the book is divided into sections, with Chapter 1 sort of standing alone, I'm going to review the first chapter and then move on to reviewing the sections instead of each subsequent chapter. My skim of the book was positive and, so far, James Crossley's book does not disappoint. Chapter 1 is primarily an introduction to what he wants to do with the rest of it. At times introductions can be boring and appear almost as if they were an afterthought to the reader, but not so with Crossley's book. Crossley delivers his purpose with lucidity and humor, making it a joy to read. He spends the appropriate time necessary laying out definitions for his terms and, while normally that may be dull, the way he organizes it–with bits of funny tongue-in-cheek thoughts in parentheses–kept my attention.
To the meat of it, Crossley discusses doing away with the function of named quests (i.e., first quest, second quest, third quest, etc…); and I find those thoughts echo my own, since I don't believe that is a practical way of describing the cultural phenomena of politicizing or socializing the figure of Jesus. And I certainly appreciated Crossley's discussion of 'the well'; that is to say, scholarship on the figure of Jesus which has predominantly been about the scholar staring into the well, seeing his own reflection, and calling that reflection 'Jesus'. But Crossley does argue that he feels that this cannot always be the case; of course he is correct. My concern though is that I am not so sure that we might not clearly be able to recognize those instances when the Jesus presented to us is a reflection of something other than ourselves (i.e., Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs seems to suggest that we are forever wrapped up in the self concept and the figure of Jesus provides, for many at least–though not all–some of those basic needs).
I am looking forward to getting into the sections now; it is hard to put the book down! More anon.

Many question that to be eligible you must be a veteran discharged or separated from active duty under conditions other than dishonorable who has completed the required period of service, and U.S. Armed Forces members who die on active duty. Spouses and dependent children of eligible living and deceased veterans, and of current and deceased armed forces members, may also be eligible. Note: The surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who remarried a non-veteran prior to October 31, 1990, and whose remarriage was terminated by death or divorce prior to or on that date is eligible for burial in a national cemetery. A surviving spouse of an eligible veteran who remarried a non-veteran prior to October 31, 1990, and whose remarriage was intact on or after that date, however, is not eligible for burial in a national cemetery. A surviving spouse who remarries a non-veteran after October 31, 1990, is not eligible for burial in a national cemetery.

"Discreet Vulgarities," which opened at Simone DeSousa Gallery on September 11th, could be accurately billed as a two-person show, featuring the work of photographer, multi-media, and performance artist Nicola Kuperus, and fine art painter and videographer Adam Lee Miller. But it could just as easily be considered a kind of two-headed hydra, with only the technicality of distinctions between two artists who have been in close conversation for two decades of create collaboration, as well as a 17-year marriage during which, according to Miller, they have only spent a handful of nights apart from each other.
On the surface, there are distinct bodies of work that can be instantly attributed to one artist or the other—Kuperus' contributions largely consist of photography, particularly to capture moments within open-ended performances, as well as interactive sculptures; Miller is a formalist painter of commonplace building materials like gutter downspouts and pine studs, the tight rendering of which initially conceal a series of sly insinuations and vaguely dirty jokes.
Indeed, insinuation and lowbrow humor is the pulsing thematic of "Discreet Vulgarities" (as the title would suggest)—nothing graphic, nothing overt, but nearly every piece contains a subtle insinuation of the basic animal realities that lie beneath Kuperus' satin gloves and Miller's art historical references. Fluids drip from the joints of PVC pipes, gloved hand probe naughtily, two-by-fours emerge from and penetrate painted portals within the canvas. Kuperus' "Peep Seats" go a bit beyond insinuation, forcing viewers to get on hands and knees if they wish to view through peep holes the collaborative video loops being screened within (foam kneeling pads thoughtfully provided). In another sculptural work, XXX, two wooden chairs nestle seamlessly within each other in a tender tableau of anthropomorphic intimacy. The personification of chairs cuts both ways; a photographic work features Kuperus, in a blonde wig and nude body suit, doing her best to blend in with a stack of chairs, and failing amusingly.
"Discreet Vulgarities" also breaks some new ground for the pair, who, despite collaborating musically via their band ADULT, have never before created a painting together. Their inaugural effort, "What A Mess" not only ties together a number of the show's visual motifs—gloves, spills, drips, bright washes of color—but creates a satisfying centerpiece in formally fusing two practices which clearly exist apart only ostensibly to begin with. Kuperus and Miller acknowledge the give and take in their partnership, exchanging help with fabrication or conceptualizing, riffing off each other, making jokes that turn serious—in the way of musicians, of married people, of prime interlocutors. The vulgarities may be discreet, but the impact and resonance of these two artists on each other is obvious, and intensely interesting.

Valentine's Votives and a New Platter~
These are one of my favorite projects to do with the kiddos, but they are pretty enough to use on a grown-up-ish table. Now, I used baby food jars to make mine (because I had plenty of them handy at the time) but you could use honest-to-goodness, real-life votive holders to make yours.
All you need are a few votive holders, some tissue in pretty Valentines-y shades (I used pinks and reds), Mod Podge, a paint brush (or sponge brush), and scissors.
WARNING: This project is goopy...so if you want to try it with little ones, realize that you better cover their clothes, and also realize that you will actually end up doing a lot of the project yourself.
- The best way to do this is to work in sections.
- Apply a little Mod Podge, then add a piece of torn tissue.
- Continue in this fashion varying shades of tissue. Make sure to overlap the tissue so none of the glass is showing. (This also helps to diffuse the light from the candles and casts pretty shadows.)
- Take special care to only go up to the rim of the votive holder...DO NOT FOLD THE TISSUE OVER THE EDGE INTO THE VOTIVE HOLDER...that would be a fire hazard with an open flame...and we're not aiming to cause fires here.)
- I like to cut out a little heart shape and place it on top of the other tissue.
- Then seal the entire thing with another coat of Mod Podge.
- Allow holder to dry thoroughly before placing a candle inside.
Then enjoy the soft glow these create. But please make sure not to leave candles unattended.Now for one other little tidbit. Some of you may remember in my post about the shelves in my kitchen, that I mentioned needing another platter for the bottom shelf. Well, the cute Hubby was listening (or reading my blog) and guess what he got me for our Anniversary? Yep, a cute little square platter for the bottom shelf. Melts my heart, that guy!
Have a lovely Thursday~

Hey guys,
Really impressive employee management software but are you planning to release a cloud based version in the future? It would be awesome to have something similar in the healthcare field for doctors, etc.
It would be nice to have that option. These days, they even have options to send and receive invoices. Which could come quite handy down the road as well. I recently came across a cloud based rap name generator which seemed quite promising.

It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you fall on, things are tense politically these days. Whether your organization embraces the political banter or bans it, it's true that strong opinions on many issues are leaking into the workplace, regardless.
So, imagine this scene: You've met up with an old buddy at one of your favorite lunch spots. You quickly get into a discussion on the day's political situation when your server approaches to take your drink order, and makes a direct rebuttal to your political point.
That's an eye opener.
And a quick way for a server to receive a complaint and/or lousy tip. Not to mention the possibility of a longer term backlash for the restuarant due to a single social media post gone viral.
Our head of HR at StratEx, Gretchen Van Vlymen, contributed to an article for FSR Magazine on this very topic: Don't Let Political Talk Destroy Your Restaurant
Check it out for an in depth discussion of politics in restaurants and how to avoid problems with a clear code of conduct, written expectations in handbooks, and an ongoing discussion with staff to ensure a pleasant dining experience — no matter what's happening in D.C.

I was extra-tired at Robyn's practice because Cindy and I were up late watching old episodes of "The Dog Whisperer" They are hosted by Cesar Millan whose shtick Dog Psychology. He's absolutely hilarious! My favorite line to dog owners: "They're not less than human; they're just not human"
The main theme of the show is that dogs are most comfortable when they are in a pack and are around the dominant pack leader. So be that leader! The mindset you want the dog to be in is "calm-submissive."
The one tip that I think will work wonders with buddy is that, in dogs, there is a big difference between 'excited' and 'happy'. To Cesar, 'excited' is just as bad as 'agitated'. The dog is 'happy' when he is 'calm-submissive'
I think that for Cesar's advice to work owners need to get over any negative connotations about the word 'submissive'. Submissive is perceived by most to be a strongly negative human term but it's a strongly positive dog behaviour.

We always need volunteers for coaches and assistant coaches. This program only works with parent volunteers and we always need help. Each session we lose coaches as they move up with their kids to new age levels. Please consider helping out, your at the field anyway. There is no experience needed at this level. We do have training. If you played soccer or coached in the past that is just a bonus!

This Blog will be the primary source of information for schedules, cancellations, etc. This link is always on the Malden Youth Soccer website as well. It is located on the left side of the home page, along with link to U5 and U9, if needed.
Cancellations due to weather will be posted to the blog... please check it within an hour of the start time on game-day morning. If you do not have access to the internet on Sunday mornings, please let me know.
1 If you already have the correct uniform color, please use it. If not, the league will supply a shirt, shorts and socks on the first day
2 Appropriate shoes. We'll play on real grass, cleats are recommended (but are not required) Sneakers are fine as well.
3 Shin pads are required. Your child may be excluded from the game if this important piece of safety equipment is not used.
4 Players must come to the game with their own size 3 ball with the players name on it
5 Long pants and long sleeved shirts may be worn under the team uniform if desired
6 Water - for frequent breaks
7 A snack for between the practice and game may be desired
8 Players must not wear any jewelry (earrings, watches, etc.) during the practice or game
9 Parents must remain at the field with their children during the entire session
At the U7 level we continue focusing on basic skills, and begin incorporating more of the basic rules into the experience.
Our primary focus remains providing a fun and healthy environment for the kids to discover their emerging soccer skills. We do not focus on winning. We don't keep official score, celebrate wins, or mourn losses. We strive for every player to get equal playing time, and try to keep the number of players on the field small in order to maximize opportunities to play. We reward skillful play, good attitudes and sportsmanship.
Adults, please try to keep this in mind. If you see a player on a team opposing your child's team, and that player is exceptionally good... please try to celebrate that skill as opposed to trying to suppress it. All players develop at different rates, and at this age, some kids really stand out. This is a good thing, try to not take offense by it.
Here are some additional notes about the U7 format:
1 For this outdoor session we will play 6v6 including a goalie. We will use the bigger nets. Coaches may decide to change the structure as needed for a fun and fulfilling game depending on attendance.
2 Coaches may decide to balance teams at game time if there is a need to equalize the number of players on each team.
3 Substitutions should be made when play stops and should occur approximately every 5 - 10 minutes
4 We will play with throw-ins, goalie kicks and corner kicks.
5 The game will start with a kick-off at the center, as will the second half of the game
6 After each goal, the team scored upon will start again by kicking-off at center. A successful kick-off means that the ball needs to roll 1 revolution forward and be touched by another player
7 Hand balls result in an INDIRECT kick to the opposing side
8 No slide-tackling allowed, results in an INDIRECT kick to the opposing side
9 No pushing with the arms or hands allowed, results in an INDIRECT kick to the opposing side
10 No tripping from behind allowed, results in an INDIRECT kick to the opposing side
11 No checking with hips allowed, results in an INDIRECT kick to opposing side
12 No off-sides called
13 The coaches may decide to break for half-time
1 Players must play within their designated age group.
2 Players must play on the team they have been assigned to. Requests for specific teams will be honored if availability permits. Requests made close to the start of the season are often hard or impossible to accomodate for.
3 At least one adult supervisor must stay during the entire session and is responsible for watching kids if they wander away from play
4 Parent involvement is appreciated and encouraged when appropriate but please try not to interfere with the session
5 Due to insurance rules players who are not registered with the league cannot play
6 Players must not wear jewelry such as earrings, watches, necklaces, etc.

Communication should be of the utmost importance to a teacher. She/he should consider all tools at her/his disposal to get the point across to kids. All the planning and research in the world can't be used unless the teacher knows how to communicate it to students. Direct communication like speaking to a class or one-to-one has it's place of course as probably the most important and effective mode of transporting knowledge from teacher to student. Still, indirect or implicit communication can have a stronger impact in select situations. For example, when teaching social rules of the classroom, a skit or puppet show may be more effective than a lecture. The stuents can see themselves and their peers in the puppet and not feel self-conscious or defensive about the content. Sometimes, even having the kids make brown bag puppets or other type and then allowing them to speak through the puppet.
I got these 2 puppets from my friend who sort of collects them. Ever since we were kids, we were both playing with puppets. The first one was probably my first birthday. My friend has been a collector and puppeteer ever since. I asked him if he knew the best place to buy some. I found out Toys R Us had a nice selection online. I was very fortunate that day because he gave me two high quality puppets as gifts. I use "Mr. Pig and duck" once in a while in my teaching. Anytime I am about to make an word picture or any sort of example, I think of using them. The kids attention is drawn to them like moths to a light bulb. It never ceases to amaze me how powerful puppets are to captivate student attention.

Looks like Krystal Burger coupons are here and into 2016 can help you save on their version of mini slider burgers. They seem to have most of their locations in the south but as they continually expand you'll probably have one of their locations near you sooner or later.
Try their famous Combo #1- 4 all-beef, hot-off-the-grill Krystals topped with mustard, pickle, and our famous steamy bun. Krystal coupons will make it even cheaper! Their chains remind me a lot of White Castle. Both serve freshly made mini burgers. You'll need more than one burger to feel full. Generally I eat about four of these or even eight. They are that small. Each seems to be about the quarter the size of a normal burger.

JIll Stuart Gallery, Human Ecology Building
Reception: Thursday, November 21
Paige Kozak, B.S. '15, challenges the utilization of graphics in apparel with a collection of simple shift dresses decorated with graphic illustrations of heads, creatures, and good-natured monsters. Fabric is manipulated with dying, painting, and handwork and embellish with beads, sequins, embroidery, and more unusual items and techniques. Referencing the creatures from the dresses, garments hang from mounted decals on the wall of alien-like creatures. "What Wears Whom?" intends to present a contortion of whom or what exactly is wearing what or whom.

Unilever Africa has looked to the gaming world in its latest digital recruitment drive to attract graduate candidates.
In a bid to select the best applicants for the roles, Unilever has launched a new digital programme which combines gaming with video interviews, where candidates will follow four main steps. These include an online application form, before playing a series of games for no longer than 20 minutes.
Applicants will then take part in a video interview in their own time, before meeting in the 'Discovery Centre' where they meet virtually, before being involved in a 'day in the life of Unilever' face-to-face event.
Speaking last week, Mechell Chetty, VP Human Resources Africa said, "The programme has been introduced in Africa this week, following a successful launch in Europe, other parts of Asia and North America. "This digital platform will be rolled out in other Unilever companies across the rest of the world during the remainder of the year. The way in which applicants play these games will allow Unilever to get an insight into the candidate's potential and how well they connect with the company's goals and purpose."
Discussing the digital move, Chetty continued, "By enabling applications through mobile devices, the new process will be able to ensure that we reach students more widely across Africa, as mobile devices serve as the primary way to access the internet for many across the continent. In addition, we aim to create a process that removes any personal bias and gives each applicant the most impartial chance."

All Product Details
Living together in Cambridge in 1989, David Foster Wallace and longtime friend Mark Costello discovered that they shared "an uncomfortable, somewhat furtive, and distinctively white enthusiasm for a certain music called rap/hip-hop." The book they wrote together, set against the legendary Boston music scene, mapped the bipolarities of rap and pop, rebellion and acceptance, glitz and gangsterdom. Signifying Rappers issued a fan's challenge to the giants of rock writing, Greil Marcus, Robert Palmer, and Lester Bangs: Could the new street beats of 1989 set us free, as rock had always promised?
Back in print at last, Signifying Rappers is a rare record of a city and a summer by two great thinkers, writers, and friends. With a new foreword by Mark Costello on his experience writing with David Foster Wallace, this re-release cannot be missed.
David Foster Wallace was born in Ithaca, New York, in 1962 and raised in Illinois, where he was a regionally ranked junior tennis player. He received bachelor of arts degrees in philosophy and English from Amherst College and wrote what would become his first novel, The Broom of the System, as his senior English thesis. He received a masters of fine arts from University of Arizona in 1987 and briefly pursued graduate work in philosophy at Harvard University. His second novel, Infinite Jest, was published in 1996. Wallace taught creative writing at Emerson College, Illinois State University, and Pomona College, and published the story collections Girl with Curious Hair, Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Oblivion, the essay collections A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, and Consider the Lobster. He was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship, a Lannan Literary Award, and a Whiting Writers' Award, and was appointed to the Usage Panel for The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. He died in 2008. His last novel, The Pale King, was published in 2011.

A Boston College senior who was celebrating after acing an interview for her dream job at Goldman Sachs was struck and killed by two cabs on the Upper East Side Thursday night.
Kelly Gordon, 22, of Brielle, NJ, had a job interview with the prestigious Wall Street firm earlier in the day. Her family said it went extremely well, and friends said they all wanted to celebrate.
"She was so pumped to get that dream job," recalled her aunt Lori Centrella, 51, who said Gordon had texted her about the interview that night. "She was a go-getter — with grace."
Gordon and her stepsister Ali Axt went to the Clinton Hall beer garden in the Financial District with two friends they had worked with at the Manhattan Yacht Club in Battery Park City. They later went to a pal's apartment.
Gordon was struck by a yellow cab while crossing 84th Street east to west against the light just before 11:30 p.m. The cab had swerved to avoid her.
She bounced off the hood and was run over by a second cab in the opposite lane.
She suffered severe head trauma, authorities said. Both drivers were licensed and stayed at the scene. Both passed Breathalyzer tests.
Medics took Gordon to New York Presbyterian Hospital, but she could not be saved.
"She was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be so missed," said her mom, Lorraine Zimmerman, 50. "She was a kid who always did the right thing."
Neighbors were comforting the grieving family at their home in Atlantic Highlands, NJ, on Friday.
"She has more promise than any young person I know," said nearby resident John Teza, 40. "She was an unbelievable girl."
Gordon's father was flying home from Amsterdam, where he had gone for a business trip.
The family said Goldman Sachs officials forwarded a letter she had sent them Tuesday, hoping it would bring them comfort.
A company spokeswoman said, "Our thoughts go out to Kelly's family and friends during this difficult time."
Gordon, one of six children, studied finance and marketing at Boston College's School of Management, authorities said.
She and three sisters had worked at the Manhattan Yacht Club. She worked as a bartender on a barge there last summer.
"Kelly was smart, energetic. She could do anything," said Michael Fortenbaugh, 51, the commodore at the club.
She also worked as a campus ambassador for The Next Step Realty, a Manhattan company that finds apartments for recent college grads moving to the city.
She volunteered with 4Boston, a campus service group, and was a member of the Boston College Women in Business organization, a college spokesman said.
All campus Masses this weekend will be offered for Gordon and her family.

No I am not going abroad anytime soon but it was a tiring day (today is market day, and a couple of hours outside can get pretty stressful in Manila!!). So I went online and tried to find something that I can feast on with my eyes. It is no wonder that just looking at pictures of Cabo San Lucas resorts can be relaxing already. (Picture from the site). Who would not want to bask under the sun while enjoying that great view? I will definitely put Mexico in my list of to-go to countries. And hopefully, the time will come when we'll have enough to realize that dream :)

How to Get Full Lips Like Kylie Jenner
I Kylie Jenner-ed My Lips — No Injections Necessary!
I Kylie Jenner-ed My Lips — No Injections Necessary!
I have been keeping up with the Kardashians for longer than I care to admit. I've bought or tried all of the products Kim uses in her regular makeup routine, I've forced significant others to watch E! with me during peak K-family hours, and I've gotten my hair cut by the sisters' go-to stylist.
But along with the rest of the world, I have recently set my sights on the youngest member of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, Kylie. Her bodacious bee-stung pout had me wondering about its secrets — did she share her siblings' penchant for cosmetic dermatology? (Kim has used Botox and various forms of lasers.) Was she using an eye-deceiving makeup trick? (The girls are contouring experts.) Then I realised I knew the secret all along . . .

Including over 20,000 square feet with an automated light deprivation system, the facilities are owned free and clear, with no debt
LAS VEGAS, NV–(Marketwired – Jun 28, 2017) – Freedom Leaf, Inc. (OTCQB: FRLF) has signed a Letter of Intent with the owners of Green Market Europe S. L. (GME) to acquire all of the shares of the Company. The acquisition includes over 60,000 square feet of operational greenhouse, including over 20,000 square feet with an automated light deprivation system to stimulate flowering year round, plus over 200 acres of outdoor production.
