TUNE Biig Piig - Sunny
- Stream
"It was such a lovely day when Sunny came about. Zach was playing around with drums and it started off with us just dancing about and having a laugh, but once he started building on top of it I started thinking of Sade on the beat. And obviously I'm nowhere near Queen Sade but I wrote the chorus with her in mind, and it just kept flowing after that. I wanted to capture what it feels like when the sun's out and you haven't a worry at all, on the beach or the park just letting go from stress. Also I feel like I haven't made a happy tune in ages so I'm well happy with the fact this one is that."

Fallen leaves, apples, pumpkins and wheat represent a bountiful fall harvest in this autumn coloring page. Autumn Harvest is one of the twelve adult coloring pages in the Halloween Mandalas adult coloring book.
Autum Harvest Product Specifics:
Download this coloring page upon purchase to print and color as many times as you please. The PDF is not colored, signed or watermarked. It is made to fit an 8.5×11-inch page with 1/2-inch margins. It can also be printed on A4 paper. The final printed page looks very crisp, with no blurs, blemishes or unwanted lines.
Tips for printing Autumn Harvest:
Print using a laser printer to prevent smudging when coloring, especially if you'll be using ink, markers or paint rather than crayons or colored pencils. You may want to print on card stock rather than plain paper to prevent your pigments warping or bleeding through your page.
Please don't sell the PDF files you buy from Candy Hippie and do not sell printed copies, or use the image(s) for any commercial use. You are welcome to give printed copies of this image unaltered as gifts, but the artist requires that you please do not give away copies of the file itself. Thank you for understanding! :)
Autumn Coloring Quotes:
"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
– Albert Camus
"We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away."
– Zhuangzi
"It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn."
– B. C. Forbes
"The autumn wind is a pirate. Blustering in from sea with a rollicking song he sweeps along swaggering boisterously. His face is weather beaten, he wears a hooded sash with a silver hat about his head… The autumn wind is a Raider, pillaging just for fun."
– Steve Sabol
This Autumn Harvest mandala coloring page is also available in the Candy Hippie Etsy shop.

Today, we're partnering with Season of Mist to bring you a song stream that's nothing if not semi-controversial.
The following song — "The Coalesce" — is the opening track off the forthcoming album from Order of Isaz, the gothic metal act founded by former Tiamat bassist Johnny Hagel.
Called Seven Years Of Famine, the album will be released March 14 and was literally recorded over a seven-year period at the House of Voodoo studio.
Formed in 2009, the band boasts Tobias Sidegård, who was accused last year of spousal battery and subsequently fired from his gig as frontman for Necrophobic.
Hence, the controversy.
Order of Isaz are a band fans of Tiamat, The Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim, Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, and Moonspell will certainly appreciate.
If you can forget those allegations, that is.
Check out the band below and let us know what you think of them. You can pre-order the record here.

Frank knows it's too soon for Marka to go to bed with him, but he can't help wanting it to happen — soon. Over dinner, he tells her about the death of his best friend, his sister's husband. Marka counters with a story of her own.
He nodded, conceding her point.
"The guy I told you about. . . ."
"The jerk who dumped you for some dumb, redneck bitch."
"How did you even get that idea? I never told you."
"Only a dumb redneck bitch would do something like that. What I can't figure, is why a man who had you would want anyone else."
Marka looked like she was going to cry. Instead, she forced a smile, thanking him. "She was. I guess he was pretty much trash too. But I was young and thought I was in love. So, a few months later, I met this other guy. Rock star wanna be."
He rolled his eyes, rocking back on the couch. "Oh, I know where this is going."
"I agreed to be the manager of the band. I was smart, a good talker, excellent organizer—I said yes."
"Let me guess, they skyrocketed to fame and he dumped you?"
"You're half right. He dumped me for a groupie. I don't think they'll ever be really famous, but they're pretty popular in Florida."
"My turn again?" He nodded, answering his own question. "When I was in school, there was this girl. . . ."
"Isn't there always?"
He made a rude noise. "Yeah, well. . . . This one was different. She was a senior and I was a sophomore. She asked me to prom."
"Wow, does that actually happen?"
"Not often, but I guess I caught her eye. I was a jock, like I said. Filled out by that time, looked pretty good. You know how lots of kids spend the time after prom."
"Getting laid." She nodded. "Yeah, lots of babies are born nine months after."
"Every guy hopes he'll get lucky. Every girl's deciding if she's gonna give it up. So, I was hoping like the rest."
"Especially since she was older."
"And experienced. Only we get to the hotel and I find out this chick's way kinky. She was wacko. Wanted it rough. Keep in mind, homeboy never done nothin' before. I was ready to give up and go home, but she drugged me. Gave me something like a Viagra cocktail. Did me for hours on end. I finally crashed. She had the decency to call 911, then ran away."
"How horrible!"
"Of course, no one believed me when I said I'd been assaulted. Rape is something that happens to girls."
"Evil bitch."
"Yeah. I lived like a monk for over a year. Finally, got drunk at a party and a very sweet, soft and alluring girl convinced me to take her to bed. Much better experience."
"That was nice of her."
"I thought so."
"That's not the one that broke your heart."
"No. Neither of them." His lips snapped shut and he looked ready to run. "Your turn."
"Are you ever going to tell me about her?"
His eyes flooded with tears. "Maybe. But it's the kind of thing I have to build up to. Tequila would help." He tried to laugh, but it was a raw, painful sound.
"My first guy, he really tried to make it nice. We'd dated awhile and I finally decided to give it up."
"Prom night?"
She laughed, nodding. "Exactly. I was a junior, he was a senior. . . . I liked to fool myself into thinking I was his first too, but I know I wasn't. It was okay. He lacked imagination and he was a lot more interested in his needs than he was mine."
"Lots of guys are. Selfish pricks."
"Exactly. The rock star was much better. Had my first orgasm with him at the wheel."
"Prom king didn't give you orgasms?"
"Damn. I guarantee, that won't be a problem. Unlimited supply, all you have to do is ask."
She giggled, tossing her hair over her shoulder. "Thank you. I'll be sure to let you know when I'm ready for delivery."
"Did you ever pick a good guy?"
"Almost. I came very close. Unfortunately, I dragged my feet long enough, he wasn't interested."
"That bites. I like to hope no one ever thought that about me."
"I can't imagine anyone thinking you were a loser. You've got so much going for you. Great body, good looking, intelligent, capable, impeccable fashion sense. . . . How did you get so good at that? You always look like you walked off the page of a magazine."
"In this?"
His feet were still bare. His jeans were frayed at the bottom, faded in all the right places. His T-shirt showed off his physique to perfection. His brown hair was tousled, his long black lashes gave him a sleepy look.

OH, the glories, the deliciousness of gossip.
A book, published this week and written by experienced biographer Paul Scott, reveals the so far only suspected side of Tony and Cherie Blair.
On a trip to Balmoral, this pushy pair attempted to thaw the royal ice.
"Call me Cherie," said Mrs Blair.
"Actually no," said the Princess Royal. Let"s stick to Mrs Blair, shall we?"
At an engagement weeks later, the Princess, known to be an imperious soul, looked through Mrs Blair.
"The bitch blanked me," Cherie is said to have complained.
Scott reveals that the Queen, disliking Cherie's habit of haranguing her on social problems, now limits the traditional Prime Ministerial weekend to simple bed on Saturday, then breakfast on Sunday - that's their lot.
Other Prime Ministers, invited to stay longer, have luxuriated in Balmoral's grounds and formal dinners, the relaxed shooting party picnics.
Cherie hates the corgies and the Queen's habit of throwing them titbits during meals. She also complains of the noisy plumbing at the royal Highland Retreat.
Can't take the scouser out of the woman, can you?

The long, warm and dry summer of 2006 created perfect conditions for the raisining of our Muscat de Frontignan grapes whilst still on the vine.
After harvesting selected shriveled grapes, the berries are left to macerate on their skins for several days in order to soften, thus facilitating the recovery of their golden juice with pressing. The nectar obtained is fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and wooden 500L barrels. The total maturation time in the cellar before bottling the 2006 Vin de Constance was just under 4 years.
Golden hued, deep amber in appearance. First nose is of freshly dried pineapples with hints of vanilla and roasted almonds. Heady woodspice scents intermingle with fresh mandarin, lemongrass and mango.
The seamless palate is elegantly structured, with ripe tropical flavours of mango and pineapple. Raisined Muscat flavours provide concentrated acidity and a piercing lift to the seemingly endless finish.
The combination of high residual sugar and alcohol levels has a well known preservative effect on bottled wine. Provided the cellaring conditions are ideal (12ºC and 75-85% humidity) this wine is capable of ageing for at least 20 years from the date of bottling, and in many cases somewhat longer than that .
Vintage: 2006
Alcohol: 13.14 % vol
Residual Sugar: 170 g/l
pH: 3.55
Total Acid: 7.15 g/l
Composition: 100% Muscat de Frontignan

I've never met a blueberry muffin I didn't like. After all, blueberry muffins are the closest I'll let myself get to eating cupcakes for breakfast (and I can even say I ate some fruit). My favorite blueberry muffins always seem to have streusel topping – the more streusel the better. It's like having cookies on top of my breakfast "cupcake". I'll admit that I've had several favorite blueberry muffin recipes over the last few years but I consider blueberry muffin recipes to be like chocolate cake recipes. Even when I've got a recipe I like, I'm always trying new ones to see if I can find one that's better. This recipe for streusel blueberry muffins has been my favorite for the last couple of years, so I thought it was time to share it. Creaming the butter and sugar together as well as the addition of sour cream in the batter give the muffins a cake-like texture with a tender crumb. Each muffin gets a very generous serving of crumb topping that bakes on top and also works its way into the muffin doubling your streusel joy.
A few years ago, I discovered paper muffin molds and I haven't used a muffin pan for baking muffins since. The paper molds let me bake muffins in any quantity I want without being limited by the number of muffin pans I have. They also take up a lot less room than traditional muffin pans (if storage space is an issue for you) and they are just plain pretty. You simply put the self-standing paper molds on a rimmed baking sheet leaving enough room around each one to allow for even air flow. I order mine from Amazon but I've also seen them at baking supply stores.
Note that the recipe only makes six muffins (at least for the size muffin molds I use). In most cases, six muffins is just enough for our family of four. The molds I use are 2 3/4 inches in diameter x 2 inches high which is big enough for everyone to have a muffin at breakfast leaving us with one or two muffins left over for snacking on later. If you want more leftovers, the recipe easily doubles.
Double Streusel Blueberry Muffins
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 45 minutes
- Yield: 6 tall muffins 1x
For the streusel topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
For the muffins
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, picked through for stems
For the streusel topping
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
For the muffins
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place 6 paper muffin molds on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl about half way through. Add the egg and blend until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add half of the sour cream to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined. Then add half of the dry ingredients and mix again. Repeat with the remaining sour cream and dry ingredients until the batter is combined. Fold in the blueberries with a spatula until the batter is evenly mixed.
- Scoop the batter into the muffin molds, filling each cup about halfway. Top each muffin with streusel topping evenly dividing the topping among the muffins. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the muffins are lightly browned on top and a cake tester comes out clean.
- Cool muffins for 10 minutes before serving.
For the streusel topping, you can also use a food processor to cut the butter into the dry ingredients. I find that the food processor can make the crumbs too fine so be careful not to over-pulse as you want some larger pieces of crumbs.
I use paper muffin molds that are 2 3/4 inches in diameter x 2 inches high.
Recipe adapted from the Clinton St. Baking Company cookbook.

It's been raining since yesterday. I've heard that there is a tropical depression here in my other part of the world. I am glad that although it was raining cats and dogs earlier I able to attend the second day mass of the nine morning masses. I am kinda sleepy but I am going to attend a Pre Jordan seminar since my card is already expired. Yes, I will be a god mother again this time for a dear friend way back in college really hope the rain will stop soon.
On the other note I am almost done with my Christmas shopping. I've been shopping for two days in a row for the little tot, nephews and nieces. But I could not complain although it is very tiring for when I saw the glow in their eyes I feel rejuvenated. As for me, I will have my present few weeks from now. It's a Nikon camera and a channel perfume that my boyfriend bought in the United States of America. Yay, I should not reveal it here but my excitement could not stop me from sharing it. So while my present is not yet in my hand I shall buy few stuff for myself as a gift from the boyfriend, also. Am I a pampered girlfriend or not? You'll be the judge..hehehehe..

flats: thandos
jeans: ami clubwear
tshirt: primark
jacket: element eden
THERE ARE PILES OF LEAVES EVERYWHERE. I'm going to just slip underneath them and pretend my country isn't falling to absolute shambles.
Gonna be real - my TOMs are usually the only flat-flats in my wardrobe, and I only wear them when I'm moving so fast you won't notice that I'm two inches shorter than usual. I like to be tall and intimidating, which is hard because I am short and not very scary at all. (Unless you ask children).
But these ballet flats are something else. They're squishy, came in their own pouch, and fold up into tiny little balls when you're not wearing them so you can toss them in your bag, and not think about them again until you've climbed your twelth flight of stairs for the day and your feet feel like they're gonna fall off. Not that anything like that ever happens to me. Definitely not this morning.
Thandos are designed in Nigeria by J.G. and Taffi, who are literal ~power couple goals~. They're big on improving their community through smart commerce, which is something I am not only 100% here for, but think everyone should learn more about. They also make really comfy limited edition shoes, which is what's really important here.
Side note:
do not throw leaves at your photographer unless you have made
absolutely unequivocally definity postively sure
that there are no rocks/squirrel poops in them.

We've been flying airplanes for more than 100 years, and we're still waiting for something like the retro future of our dreams. Well, the aviation firm XTI hopes to change that.
Though it's just a concept at this point, the company has proposed a concept vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) plane dubbed the TriFan 600, which utilizes tilt-rotor engines. Put simply: The tilt-rotor engines function in a similar capacity to a helicopter and allow the plane to take off vertically, then turn and fly at high speeds like an airplane. The proposed model would be a five-passenger craft with a maximum speed of 400 mph and a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet.
According to Popular Science, three ducted fans will lift the airplane in approximately 90 seconds, and two of those fans tilt from parallel to perpendicular, propelling the plane forward in the air. The report notes a sliding door covers the third fan, to prevent it from interfering with the aerodynamics during flight.
The concept might be awesome, but sadly, XTI doesn't actually have the money to build this thing. The company is currently raising money through an "equity crowdfunding platform," though it's admittedly a long shot they'll actually be able to pull it off. Regardless, this thing is absolutely beautiful. Just. Wow.

The Story Of Zonbei
Zonbei's Dad
It was thirteen years ago to the day that Zonbei's dad left for 7-11 and never came back. It was a special day -- Zonbei's birthday -- and his father knew just the present to get his four-year old bundle of joy: poptarts. Zonbei's father left the house with a skip in his step . . . and never returned.
Zonbei waited and waited for his father to come back; he was excited for his birthday and really wanted those poptarts! They had just introduced strawberry frosting and he was excited about the prospect of a new frosting flavor to coat his mouth with. He had seen commercials about how delicious this particular poptart frosting was on the television.
To this day, Zonbei has yet to eat a strawberry-frosted poptart because he wants to share his first one with his dad. Every day he wakes up and frantically looks around the house, hoping against hope to see his father smiling and holding that box of poptarts out towards him, an open invitation to smear some tasty strawberry frosting all over his face. Sometimes he thinks he sees his father out of the corner of his eye -- but when he turns, his father is gone.
Zonbei has started to believe that his father is just playing an elaborate game of hide and seek with him when, in reality, his father has a new family in Freemont, Arizona with children who are not fabulous persongy internet disappointments.
Zonbei has an unfortunate tendency to call random phone numbers; if a male answers, he screams, "YOU GOT ME! SEE YOU IN FIVE MINUTES!" If a female answers, however, he has two variations: in option one, he vents about how girls only want the "bad boy" and never him and it's discouraging because he's a nice guy and doesn't want sex without a relationship and is, thus, supervirgin; in option two, he invites himself to Australia.

Happy Holiday's to the blogging world.
I have a lot to be thankful for this Holiday Season. I'm not a religious guy, preferring the world of math and science to any spiritual realm. It's been a week since Kimmie and I went down and even though their is nothing that physical therapy and a little bit of grit can't fix...I've been hurt in other ways.
For the first time in a long time I've been reminded that my actions affect others. Well a Can-am or a trike may be in my future, Susan feels they are more stable and therefore "safer", I'm not sure if and when I'll climb back on. My faith in myself and my ability has been shaken to the core.
So I just want to thank my friends, my family for their support and love during the last few years of this blog. I have met a few of you. I have smiled and laughed at your adventures. I've made friends. I've gone on adventures that I would not have otherwise; and hope that you smiled, laughed and enjoyed the ride as much as I have.
I don't know what lies ahead. Maybe I will take up cheese making, or finally get around to that home brewing kit that I've threatened Sue with for years. All I know is this...your always welcome into my life and into my home.
Happy Holiday's my friends. May the New Year be full of adventures. I'll be reading them.

The Nyandarua County Government has signed an agreement with Tower Sacco to help women, youth, and persons living with disability to access cheap loans to help them executive contracts awarded them by the county government.
All they require to access funding from Tower Sacco are legal documents as proof that they have won a tender or contract with the county government. They will then use the papers as part of collateral to access up to 60 per cent financing from the sacco.
The county has, on its part, committed to assist targeted beneficiaries get company registration certificates qualifying them to apply and compete for the tenders.
"It's a two-year agreement on trial. We seek to support and empower the interest population by minimizing funding requirements, training them on fiscal discipline and management skills. The programme is picking very well and we have an encouraging number who visit our branches," said Tower Sacco chief executive Gabriel Njihia.
Nyandarua Governor, Kimemia
"We are treating each case on its own merit," said the CEO without revealing how much has been set aside for the initiative.
A special team from Tower Sacco has been appointed to handle the programme.
"Besides training and monitoring the groups' progress, the team also expects clients to fully exploit their potential as well as identify and explore other investment opportunities, guiding them to thinking bigger and out of the box," said Mr Njihia.
Nyandarua Governor Francis Kimemia said half of the newly-registered companies are to be considered in the award of county contracts and tenders this financial year, with qualifying groups to be placed under the County-Tower Sacco financing and mentorship programme.
"All county departments are under strict instructions to give priority to the target groups when awarding contracts. Our target is to have a minimum of 100 such groups registered as companies and doing business with the county government, that was the reason behind having devolved governments," said the governor.
The project is part of Tower Sacco initiative to boost the devolved unit's bid to realise the elusive two-thirds gender rule and other aspects of the Affirmative Action.
The agreement is a relief to the special interest groups, who have for decades missed the opportunity to trade with both the national and county governments for lack of capital and sureties.
With the partnership, women, youth and disabled persons are expected to be motivated to tender for the county jobs that include contracts and tenders to supply goods and services to Nyandaraua County government.
It has already led to registration of 30 groups into companies, with ten out of the twenty already trading with the county government and placed under the County-Tower Sacco financing and mentorship programme.

EBooks are the new trend among Bookoholics, with eBooks people can carry their favourite books anywhere and read them whenever they want. The best part is that they don't want to carry any physical item or extra weight, everything is there in their phone or tablet. Now wherever they go, they have their library with them. Another best part of eBooks is that, you can download them over Wi-Fi or mobile internet and read them instantly unlike paperbacks, for which you have to wait for the shipping to arrive. EBooks are instantly available and are cheaper than regular paperbacks and you can keep it with you wherever you go. You can also read them at night without turning on the lights.eBook Reading
I'm a book lover and since I travel a lot, I have to rely on EBooks for quench my book thirst. Since our phone is a very important aspect of our life and our whole universe revolves around it, we usually face problems with battery. Phone is a device which is used for listening to music, watching movies, browsing internet, reading book and of course for calling, we can't afford losing battery when travelling, So what to do? Today I will list 5 ways to save battery while reading books on Android device.
How to Save Battery while Reading Books on Android Device
1. Low Brightness
Most of the big screened Androids are equipped with AMOLED displays which suck battery big time. The display is responsible for most of the time when battery is low, so if you want a long-lasting book reading experience on your android device then you have to turn the brightness down. I'm not saying to completely bring brightness down, but to a level where you can read without forcing your eyes to focus more.
Go to Settings > Display > Brightness : Lower Brightness down
2. Black Background
Almost all eBook reading apps have an option to turn the background black and text white. This is the best way to save battery when reading books on android, though it is sometimes difficult to use this option during daytime as black tends to show mirror reflections. Whenever possible, try to use black background when reading books, since most of the androids have AMOLED display, so when you keep background black, the display does not require to emit light and thus power is saved.
If you have a habit of reading books at night when the lights are turned off then make sure that you use black background for reading. Using black background at night also prevent your eyes from hurting due to bright white light.
Go to eBook app settings > change background color to Black
Night Mode is a free app available at Play store which lets you lower the device brightness even more than the stock limit. You can lower your brightness more than default setting and it is very useful for night book reading.
Install Night Mode app > Tap on Start > Lower the brightness from the app
4. Power Saving Mode
All Android devices come with an inbuilt Power saving mode which helps reduce battery consumption. Power saving mode lowers CPU usage and is ideal for book reading. It helps reduce battery life big time and is the quickest way to save battery in case you forgot installing Night Mode app.
Go to Settings > My device > Power Saving : Turn it on
5. Use Battery Booster App
There are plenty of apps for boosting battery, these type of apps clear RAM memory, temporary files and also closes apps which are running in background thus saving battery life. These apps also provide full battery stats and also display estimated battery time. I recommend using DU Battery Saver, you can download it for free from Play store.
Bonus Tip
6. Switch Off Radio Signals
If you are in "No network" coverage area then you must keep your phone on Airplane mode, this prevents your phone to waste power searching for network. Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, 3G, 4G, NFC etc. This will help you save battery and you can have a long-lasting reading experience.
So I hope these tips were helpful and you can now enjoy reading books on your android device without worrying about the battery. I will keep bringing more such article, till then have a good day.

Margareta Waddles
This is the story of my cat Margareta Waddles. Margareta Waddles was adopted by me while she lived in an Animal Shelter. She is a very old cat and was going to be put to sleep if she was not adopted very soon. She is black with what appears to be brownish type strips. She has green eyes and has no claws. She also is very fat and her body looks like a very large oval.
Margareta Waddles likes children to pet her. Margareta has a favorite fish toy she bats around that is tied to a string. Margareta Waddles also likes to stare into space after playing with the fish.
Margareta will wake up around noon and cry until she is fed. She likes gravy without the food in it and Temptation treats. This is just about all she eats and only eats a little at a time. Her water has to be room temperature; not too warm not too cold.
After eating Margareta goes to sleep on her favorite pillow on the sofa. If anyone else sits on the sofa she gets annoyed and will try to nudge them off the sofa. Margareta Waddles will then sleep until 11 PM. Margareta cries until her food and water dish is cleaned and refilled. Then Margareta will go back to sleep until it is time to wake up again around noon.
That is just about it. After all Margareta Waddles is a cat and that is what old cats usually do.

The change of prime minister has put the Coalition ahead in Newspoll for the first time since before the 2014 draconian budget, with Malcolm Turnbull taking a 34-point lead over Bill Shorten as better prime minister.
The Coalition leads Labor 51-49% on a two-party basis in the poll published in The Australian – a dramatic turnaround from a fortnight ago, when the government trailed the ALP 46-54%.
With Turnbull's cabinet meeting for the first time after Monday's swearing in of the ministry, the poll found Turnbull the most popular prime minister in more than five years. 55% rate him as preferred prime minister to 21% for Shorten, which is the lowest level for any leader in six years. Shorten's better PM rating has dropped by 20 points in a fortnight.
The Coalition's primary vote is up five points to 44%. This is the highest since November 2013, soon after the election; it is 1.6% below the election level. Labor's primary vote is down four points to 35%. The Greens have lost one point to 11%.
Turnbull's satisfaction rating is 42%, with 24% dissatisfied. This compares with Abbott's satisfaction level of 30% and a dissatisfaction of 63% in the last poll. Turnbull has a net satisfaction of plus 18. Abbott's last net figure was minus 33. But 34% were uncommitted about Turnbull.
Shorten's satisfaction ratings changed little in the fortnight, with a one point fall in his satisfaction to 29%, while his dissatisfaction level fell four points to 54%. His net satisfaction rating improved from minus 28 to minus 25.
In interviews on Monday Turnbull continued to leave the way open for policy changes, including in higher education, while avoiding locking himself into specifics.
Asked whether he intended to push ahead with university deregulation, Turnbull said the cabinet would be considering that.
"The government's position is that reform of the higher education system to enable, really to promote excellence and greater diversity and choice in higher ed, is very, very important," he said.
"But, clearly, we've got political realities to deal with in the Senate and so … if you can't get something through the Senate, it is, I would say, it's highly possible that you could change it to something that will get through the Senate. This is what John Howard calls the iron laws of arithmetic," he told the ABC's AM.
Asked on the ABC's 7.30 what he learned from his time as opposition leader, which ended badly, Turnbull said: "I'm wiser about people … I feel much more confident and centred in myself. But not in a sort of ebullient way - I just feel quietly confident and settled. I'm at peace with myself and I feel that the leadership I can provide to Australia will make a difference. I believe the leadership I can provide with my colleagues in this Parliament will ensure that we are better able to meet the challenges of the future and take advantage of those opportunities."

Alzheimer's and Dementia
More and more people are living with Alzheimer's and dementia. There are now over 850,000 people in the UK living with Alzheimer's alone, and the numbers are increasing year on year. In the very early stages of Alzheimer's and dementia the impact of memory loss is manageable and people are able to continue their lives quite independently. As Alzheimer's and dementia progress it begins to affect the person's ability to engage in everyday activities. No longer knowing if you have done something or how to do something often results in great stress and anxiety, so that if asked the person will reply, 'oh I've done that', or 'of course I can do that', and quietly the person does less and less.
At Blue Sky Enabling we have worked with many people with different forms of progressive dementias so they are able to participate in activities and re-discover the joys of life despite their diminishing mental capacity.
"J couldn't have had a better life or been better taken care of." Mr A

Intuit Finally Lets Banks White-Label Mint
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
The bank has begun providing account balance forecasts for interested online banking customers, signaling a continuing trend of financial services players offering consumers deeper insights into their own transactions.February 19
Developers are starting to add collaboration tools to mobile banking and personal financial management apps to provide better information sharing (or non-sharing, as the case may be) for couples.February 14
Cash flow predictions and deeper spending insights will be the key to adoption for personal financial management applications, say bankers and industry observers.January 16
The difference between digital banking and personal finance management (PFM) software continues to blur.
Intuit Inc. (INTU) announced Wednesday it is incorporating features from Mint, its well-known consumer-facing PFM software, into its digital banking line. Pilot tests with bank customers will begin later this spring, with general availability of the offering expected to hit by early next year.
Intuit bought Mint, which now counts more than 12 million users, in 2009.
The initial Mint product line for banks will combine Intuit mobile banking apps and online banking software with aspects of Mint PFM featured front and center. On the online banking home page, Mint content, such as a newsfeed-like stream of account alerts and a collective view of linked external accounts, will appear in widgets to customers. To access more Mint features, such as a budget creation tool and a feature that displays category spending within a pie chart, consumers will click on a tab labeled Mint.
"We want to blur the lines between PFM tools and digital banking," says Greg Wright, vice president, product management at Intuit Financial Services, the company's unit that sells to banks.
This latest development is a natural evolution of the Intuit product.
"This is a sign of where Intuit needs to go and wants to go. …It's all part of this essential movement to resurrect and redefine PFM," says Mark Schwanhausser, director multichannel financial services at Javelin Strategy & Research. "This is where the industry as a whole will go. …I'm intrigued and happy to see it. The word that comes to mind is 'finally.'"
Others agree.
"I'm surprised it took so long," says Ron Shevlin, senior analyst at Aite Group.
Intuit's move underscores a trend at large, in which banks and other financial services providers feature PFM tools within digital banking view in an attempt to engage more users. To date, PFM delivered through online banking has suffered from single-digit adoption rates, which some blame on poor positioning and a lack of intuitiveness within the design of the features.
Some banks have already begun featuring PFM tools in a more prominent way. Regions Bank, for one, recently added pie charts of online banking customers' transactions on the home page as an attempt to draw customers to PFM services.
Future iterations of Mint online banking, meanwhile, may integrate PFM elements more deeply with online banking. (Think of the ability to set up goals while a person views his savings account, for example.) "We have more ambitious plans down the road," Intuit's Wright says.
In the meantime, it's worth noting what didn't make the homepage of Intuit's new product: the ubiquitous pie chart. "It has fewer payoffs for the key real estate," Javelin's Schwanhausser says. The decision, he says, likely has to do with how the slices of pie won't change much for consumers over time.
Instead, account alerts are getting prime real estate in a widget labeled "Money Insights" on the home page, which analysts view as the most interesting content of the forthcoming Mint offering for banks.
"That's what I think people want," Shevlin says. The section displays a feed of account alerts, such as when a credit card APR has increased, for example.
Cathy Graeber, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research, Inc., also cited built-in advice as the most intriguing PFM tool as it can fuel more ways banks can cross-sell, if done successfully.
Though the final product is in pilot phase, one notable difference between Mint.com and Mint digital banking is that the latter will only serve offers to consumers from a specific bank, while consumer-facing Mint pitches offers from numerous banks, including ones that pay it. In other words, in Mint digital banking, consumers won't get pitches by a bank's competitors.
Shevlin points out this may potentially cannibalize current Mint advertisers.
Intuit serves about 2,900 financial institutions, providing about 1,100 with digital banking (online and mobile) and 1,800 with data services. Roughly 500 financial institutions offer FinanceWorks, Intuit's existing white-label PFM offering. Intuit did not share future plans for FinanceWorks.
Intuit will aim to sell Mint well beyond its customer base, likely trying to sign deals with large banks.

Bondarchuk gives 'Stalingrad' the 3D treatmentComments
Russian cinema has chosen 'Stalingrad' to be its first feature-length 3D movie; an appropriate choice for such an historic occasion, and helmed by Fedor Bondarchuk, himself part of an historic filmmaking dynasty.
It has a big budget and an international cast to do justice to the epochal battle that arguably swung the second world war the allies' way. Yet amid one of the bloodiest battles in history and the hundreds of thousands of deaths the action finds space for a dramatic love story.
"The war was fought by people. People. On both sides. We need to tell their stories. During wars, people are in a completely different physical and psychological state, which allows them to do things that they wouldn't be able to think of otherwise," said actor Andrey Smolyakov.
The story – having failed while attempting to cross the Volga and launch a counter-offensive, Soviet troops are forced to retreat. However, a few soldiers manage to land on the enemy-held shore. They hide in a house, where they find a girl.
Stranded on the frontline after her house was occupied by German troops the girl becomes the men's mission. They will protect her at any cost.
"It is a film about real people, a film with no caricatures," explained actor Thomas Kretschmann.
'Stalingrad' is Russia's Foreign Language Oscar entry.

We had a bit of trouble finding this for some reason, even though we'd read here and had a map and know the road... Looking in a false location my hubby and son managed to get coated in cow dung hee hee (I can laugh, it wasn't me!).
For others trying to find it the best advice I can give is... As previously mentioned it's about 3/4 - 1 mile along the A839 driving from the A9 at The Mound. Count gateways / laybys on the right-hand / North side of the road... You'll pass two almost-layby's which are clearly actually gateways - park in the *first proper no other use but as a layby* on that side.
You can then either walk back along the road verge on the same side of the road, and enter the field through the gate (just a few metres around the bend of the road) *or* climb the small wire field fence to the side of the layby, follow the fence and there's a spot to ford the burn. You'll come out into the next field just below the circle.
We visited in Winter, so there was very little bracken, which was great for actually seeing what's there. It also, I imagine, afforded us a much better view across the surrounding landscape, which has quite a lot of deciduous tree cover.
There are seven obvious stones in the circle, which is just a few meters across. Two upright a couple of meters high, another two smaller upright stones / boulders, one fallen which would have been as tall as the larger stones, and two more visible low in the scrubby ground cover, partly covered.
Another sizable stone lies a few meters down the slope where it appears to have tumbled. There's a gap in the circle directly above, so seems likely it belonged in the circle rather than being an outlying stone.
If this stone is from the circle that would make 8, and there would then be an obvious gap for a missing 9th.
There is a ridge a few meters above the circle, with a further, possibly 'placed' (rather than natural) stone on it - just visible from the circle with the low Winter ground cover. It *could* possibly be a tumbled boulder from the craggy hillside above, but it seems to be of a similar shape and alignment to one of the larger stones in the actual circle. From this point, even though very close to the circle, the view completely opens up, and through the tree coverage you are able to see out to Loch Fleet.

Scot's Artist Celebrates The Launch Of 20th Exhibition
Monday, May 18th, 2015
on behalf of Project Work and Other Clients
Acclaimed Scottish artist Janet Melrose RSW is celebrating the launch of her 20th exhibition which has debuted at the Union Gallery in Edinburgh.
The month-long solo exhibition is the second time she has displayed at the gallery on Broughton Street – with the work showcasing her move to more 'semi abstract' style.
Janet is one of 125 members at the prestigious Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours, being elected to the RSW in November 2011.
The new exhibition, entitled "Making Tracks", is directly inspired by her relocation to Crieff and draws heavily on the natural landscape, environment and wildlife which surround her Perthshire studio.
In describing the theme of the exhibition and how the influences of her surroundings have inspired its creation, Janet said: "About two years ago I made a painting of Thomas' Wood, near my home in Crieff, during the winter of 2013 and I became entirely inspired and intrigued by the area and its landscape.
"In particular, the way in which the public use the space of the wood, and all the tracks left by pheasants, dogs and wildlife really inspired me – and also lead me to the title of the exhibition, "Making Tracks"
"This piece from Thomas' Wood in particular will also be one of the focal points at the forthcoming exhibition, and one of the paintings I'm most excited to exhibit.
"There is always for me an excitement and apprehension when embarking on a solo show but thankfully as soon as the paintings begin to appear it disappears.
"One of the biggest differences in my work has been my stronger use of colour which I use both to describe and convey emotion in some of the work. The landscape and animals I see on a daily basis have become my subject matter and I no longer feel any need to stray far from my immediate surroundings."
Janet said the exhibition provides a showcase for her current artistic style – highlighting a significant contrast with her past work.
She added: "I would now describe my style as "semi abstract", in the sense that I abstract from things that I am seeing.
"Everything starts off in a literal sense and then I take what I want from what I see and turn it into a painting.
"I would say that my work changed quite radically when I moved [to Crieff].
"I rediscovered my interest and passion for art from when I was very young and what's been interesting is the way my subject matter is now right on my doorstep."
Alison Auldjo, founder and owner at Union Gallery has expressed her delight in Janet's return to the gallery and recounts her first, and unforgettable, exhibition.
She said: "Janet held her first solo exhibition with the gallery in 2011 and to this day I think about many of the subtle and sensitive paintings that were in that exhibition.
"Secretly, I have worried how it would be possible to better such a show. I needn't have.
"A hard working artist of integrity, the paintings Janet Melrose has made for 'Making Tracks' are quite simply the best work I have seen from her."
Where: Union Gallery, 45 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3JU.
General viewing, May 8th – June 7th.

Horoscope 2019 – Year of progress for all zodiac signs
The year 2019 announces one energetic one. The Mars / Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio brings achievements in all spheres, but especially in career and family. The Sun, Venus, and Pluto in Capricorn keep their feet on the ground.
The astrologers suggests that social consciousness develops on all the signs, people are more attentive to what is happening around them, they become more generous, better.
Horoscope 2019 Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
A creative year, beginning with Uranus in Aries and Mercury in Sagittarius. All releases of Mercury are in Fire Signs (Aries in March, Leo in July and August, Sagittarius and Scorpio in November and December), so there is a poor chance of having play time. In November, Jupiter enters Sagittarius, and luck begins to suck everyone, especially the signs of Fire. The lunar Leo node transforms any project you start. Cautious time, make the most of it!
Horoscope 2019 zodiac sign of Earth
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Pluto is well anchored in the heart of Capricorn, the Sun and Venus are all in Capricorn and favors career advancement. Mars is retrograde from March to July, begins with Aquarius and ends in Capricorn, which causes a change in action. It takes more organization and a little determination to succeed. Saturn is in Capricon all year, jump or bias can occur. Take every day of the year as it comes.
The moon is in Gemini since the beginning of the year, you are engaged in any activity you do. It inspires others, especially after the solar eclipse of Aquarius in February.
Horoscope 2019 zodiac of Water
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Neptune in Pisces preserves an idealistic atmosphere, and the March / Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio brings insurances that anything is possible if you strive for yourself. In October, Venus begins releasing Scorpio and brings extreme emotions. You are more sensitive and tend to listen to your reason more.
In numerology, 2019 has the vibration of 2, the transformation of imagination into material reality. To have, you have to act, be pragmatic and intelligent. Year 2019 has all the premises of a prosperous and abundant year!
Love horoscope 2019
2019 will be a very exciting year in love according to Horoscope2019.Guru . Some Natives have the chance to meet their great love, while others will go from one adventure to another. For some natives, the affective plan will be ups and downs, but others even have the opportunity to put their order alive. Happiness, for the happiest, is written in stars.
Aries – Love Horoscope in 2019
When the year begins, Venus, the planet of love and intimacy, will be in a fiery state.
Those who are already in a love relationship and are eager to go to the next level (to marry) must wait for Venus to get out of this state.
Venus will come out of the "burning" state around February. Subsequently, Venus will be presented in his ascension sign. It begins the good times for love to bind the knot and become the relationship to be said to be "made for each other."
There may be some doubts between lovers. If things go too long, this can lead to a break. Considering these planetary influences, those who are in love should not leave unresolved issues. The strong bond and sense of belonging will work well in clearing the cloud of wandering and rejuvenating the relationship.
Mars' presence will play an important role in the issues of love relationships. You will be asked to raise your compatibility level to maintain a standard level of harmony.
The planet indicates the necessity of understanding the partner. This increase in compatibility will be good for building trust in your partner. Jupiter's position in the seventh house does not show happiness in the life of married couples. You will have to take care of your partner's sensitivities.
On the other hand, in general, the year is good for lovers, but they are not married until now. They will have a nice time together. However, the year is not very favorable for those who want to marry.
Jupiter is the head of the seventh house. This house refers to issues of relationships that have become confirmed (such as marriage or business partnerships). Jupiter is placed in the mystical sign. The sixth house deals with adversity and strong disagreement. This means that married people need to be very careful about their relationships.
Adverse situations may arise that can test engagement in relationship. On the other hand, the fifth house is related to love and intimate relationships. Venus is the leader of the fifth house. Switching from Venus can have a huge impact on the love relationships of locals.
Venus's position is not a good sign for the lover's love life, especially for those who are interested in developing a relationship. The period up to February 20 is not very favorable to the development of love relationships. However, the period from February 21 to mid-June supports romantics to enjoy love relationships.
Cancer – Love Horoscope in 2019
Saturn will dominate the seventh house (the house that relates to your relationship with your wife / partner).
This Saturn position does not generally involve a very good year for married couples.
They may not have a pleasant time with their partner. Differences may occur, resulting in discomfort and disadvantage. Couples are required to have quality time with their life partner to maintain warmth and harmony in the relationship.
The fact that Saturn is in Capricorn and stays there for the whole year, which is in direct opposition to your Cancer sign, does not mean a pleasant situation in your personal life. Saturn may not let things go just wrong. At the same time, it does not just mean unhappiness to you all the time.
Leo – Horoscope of love in 2019
Saturn stays in his own sign Capricorn, in the sixth house. These planetary positions can trigger dissatisfaction in the love life. You can sometimes feel loud about how to say how you like and do not like it.
You have advised not to obey this type of inclination. If you intend to raise your voice, it could affect your partner's feelings. You may even worsen your relationship with them. Understand, tolerance is the key to peace and happiness in the life of love.
The mid-moon planetary movements can raise challenging situations in matters of love and personal life. You could get an open statement while expressing your views. You should have a pragmatic approach to solving difficult situations related to your love life.
Virgo – Horoscope of love in 2019
There's good news for you from the stars. Jupiter's fortunate force is to look at the eleventh house for most of the year. This benevolent planet will work well in keeping warmth and harmony in the life of your love.
But, in a different note, Saturn's influence on the eleventh house may present some obstacles in your path. Saturn is not very supportive in maintaining peace and harmony in the relationship with the partner.
If the doubts developed as a result of Jupiter's position are not tactful, they can affect your relationship. Remember that Saturn can destroy. So, you need to be careful about this.
Mars also has the role to influence the relationship of love. Mars will enter the exaltation state in mid-March when it enters the sign of Capricorn. And Saturn is seated in the sign of Capricorn, in the fifth house. The struggle between these two giants can be wonderful. As a consequence of this battle, you could be very well trained and you could be at the forefront of the approach.
Libra – Horoscope of Love in 2019
Two astrological factors are not encouraging in this regard. One is the presence of Ketu (a karmic nodule bearing spiritual energies and is considered in Vedic astrology a dangerous element), powerful and evil in the fifth house, the house that is related to love and intimate relationship. So this planetary position is not very favorable for the trouble-free passage of life.
The second factor: At the beginning of the year, Venus, the planet related to love and intimate relationship, is in a burning state. However, this state of Venus is not oblique because it enjoys the pleasures of physical intimacy with people of the opposite sex.
Venus will come out of the burning state after February 21. The period starting from the beginning of April until mid-June seems to be very favorable for the single. It is a good time for them to enter into a relationship of love with a member of the opposite sex.
Scorpio – Horoscope of love in 2019
The situation in love matters during this year and seems to be a mixed bag. There are two significant planetary movements, one of which supports the intimacy of love and the other that is not very encouraging to the smooth flow of love.
Jupiter reigns the fifth house, the house that is related to love and intimate relationship.
This position of Jupiter is seen as a good position of supporting oneself to develop a love affair. The relationships you develop in this good time will last a long time. But this is the positive side.
On the other hand, the planet of Venus love will be in a burning state. This is not encouraging for your love flow. However, this moment is not bad for oneself.
Sagittarius – Love Horoscope in 2019
Mars owns the portfolio of the fifth house for your sign. This house is related to love and intimate relationship. At the beginning of the year, Mars is positioned in the other sign, Scorpio, along with Jupiter in the 12th house.
All these planetary positions do not support the lonesome ones to develop their love relationship. But, loners can enjoy physical intimacy. Venus will be visible on the horizon on February 21. Then the lonely ones, who are looking for love, can go on and marry.
In addition, the favorable time for love and sex starts as early as the second week of August. This is because Venus changes its own sign of Libra.

Pokemon Go Calculator to Know Catch Chance
It's kind of frustrated for players that they don't know the odds of catching rare Pokemon. Now Pokemon Go Hub has developed a calculator that will help players figure out what their chances are when they attempt to catch any given Pokemon.
Somehow, Pokemon Go Hub was able to bind all those things into a calculator. This gives "Pokemon Go" players an overview of whether they have good chances at capturing the pocket monster.
The calculator is based on the "Grand Unified Catch Theory" (GUCT), which is a surprisingly complicated formula that takes into account the type of Poke Ball used, the Pokemon's species, the throw bonus and more. This formula will take a look at the type of Poke Ball gamers use the Pokemon's species type and throw bonus, among other details.
The GUCT is the same formula used in the catch chance calculator, which enables gamers to know how likely they are to catch Pokemon in a particular time and place in "Pokemon Go."
All "Pokemon Go" gamers have to do is to select a particular Pokemon from the drop-down list, indicate his or her trainer level and select medal bonuses. Gamers also have to indicate whether they used a curveball or Razzberry. The "Pokemon Go" catch chance calculator will automatically compute the gamer's chances to catch the Pokemon indicated.
According to Pokemon Go Hub, "this is the first Catch chance calculator that uses the correct formulas and probability."Although its utility is relatively limited, it might do help in some degree.
Do you feel excited about this? You must be. Of course, you can get rare Pokemon from 10KM eggs, or you can get rare Pokemon or Pokemon accounts or from our website, that coupon code "pokemonbux" will give you 2% off.

Cold Weather Dinner Plans: Spindini on South Main
After eating entirely too much soup for the past few weeks, I was craving some solid, weather-appropriate food. I wound up at Spindini, the Grisanti-owned Italian restaurant on South Main.
I started with the Tuscan Butter appetizer. It's a bowl of warm, almost-liquid mascarpone cheese and red sauce served with chunks of focaccia bread for dipping. It's really good, but exercise some discipline – it's entirely too easy to fill up on the butter before dinner.
When I ordered the lasagna for dinner, I was expecting a 3-4 inch square slice on a plate. Intstead, I got this:
If you can't tell from the photo, that's a seven inch long casserole dish filled with sausage and beef lasagna. It was warm and filling, perfect for the cold night. That said, I wish that Spindini had a vegetarian version on the menu – there was a ton of meat, which made it a little too dense for my liking.
Spindini had the distinction of placing first in the "Best Cougar Bar" category in the Memphis Flyer's annual reader's poll this year. When I was there (around 7 p.m. on Monday), I didn't notice any ladies of a certain age on the prowl, but the crowd was decidedly middle aged.
The space is dark and sleek. The vibe is trendy and upscale – despite having the Grizzlies game on TV, the bar is more martinis than beer. Price-wise, it's a bit of a splurge, with most entrees are around $20 each.
I can't believe you didn't mention the desserts! Ha I've heard about a great kind of custard dish with balsalmic or something..heard its unusual and to die for! Was hoping for your review..that aside do you have any recommendations on where to park to get there? I tried going a few weeks ago and we ended up at majestic grill instead

Julia Louis-Dreyfus took home the Emmy for lead actress in a comedy series for her performance in Veep at Sunday night's ceremony. Seth Meyers presented the honor to Dreyfus onstage. Dreyfus proceeded to give her acceptance speech in what she called the "political way." "What a great honor it must be for you to honor me tonight," said Dreyfus. "Oh no, I'm sorry. Donald Trump said that. It's getting trickier and trickier to satirize this stuff." Dreyfus beat out Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Lisa Kudrow (The Comeback), Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer) and Lily Tomlin (Grace and Frankie) to win the award. "I love powerful, funny women," said Dreyfus who gave a special shout-out to her fellow competitors, including Poehler.
