Rustic Catskill Mountain Wedding, Ashokan Dreams B&B
Today we would like to share with you a rustic Catskill Mountain wedding. Such an amazing setting, with a fabulously creative bride who went to a lot of work with her DIY details! Sasha Felix Photography and Betsi Ewing Studio were behind the lens capturing all the moments!
Rustic Catskill Mountain Wedding ~ Bride's Comments
"Having grown up in the Catskills I always envisioned a rustic Catskill wedding. Something very representative of how I was raised. Good food, good music and good company. After moving away to Florida, where lo and behold I met and fell in love with Ryan, I couldn't wait for the day to introduce him to old Woodstock. Rustic, mix & match antique was the theme and from there our summer weekends consisted of drives all over the little towns in search of our décor. We found everything from antlers to antique table cloths, old tins and many more treasures. I had some old pictures of our family's wedding photo's also displayed to add to the antique look. We wanted to show pictures of us over the years so we made a collage in an old shabby window pane. We also made our cupcake stands with old candle holders and cool antique plates. with some trial and error and really strong glue it absolutely worked. We also had a photo booth area with a little Fuji Polaroid camera and little props from Etsy. We hung old-fashioned frames and hung them with twine from the pavilion. With the help of my lovely sister, mom and friends the vision came alive."

Winx Club Forever
The Gem of Courage is the third and final gem that must be placed on the Sirenix Box to acquire Sirenix.
It is located in the Yellow Reef, deep within the oceans of Domino, and was guarded by a horrible fish monster. In order to obtain the gem the Winx must "snatch courage from its jaws", in which Bloom enters the monster's body, takes the gem and blasts her way out, which destroys the monster; therefore solving the final riddle and successfully obtaining the Gem of Courage.
The Gem of Courage is colored green. It is one of the gems the Winx have on their Sirenix Boxes. It is located on the last point of a star along the Gem of Empathy being at its left side and the red gem being at its right side.
Like the other gems, they must also solve two riddles per gem, and in finding this one, they travelled from Linphea to Domino.
"Find the Flowers of the Depths. It answers only to courage."
"Find the Yellow Reef and snatch courage from its jaws."

TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) — Barclays PLC said Monday that Chairman Marcus Agius had stepped down after six years in the post and that the board would begin an audit of the financial-services firm's business practices.
The moves follow a fine levied on the bank for manipulation of interest rates.
Shares of Barclays (BARC) jumped more than 3% in London.
Barclays said it would begin a search for a new chairman from among the current directors as well as beyond. Agius is to remain in the post until a successor is named.
Barclays also tapped Michael Rake to serve as deputy chairman.
Last week's "events, evidencing as they do unacceptable standards of behavior within the bank, dealt a devastating blow to Barclays's reputation," Agius said in a statement. The "buck stops with me, and I must acknowledge responsibility by standing aside."
Agius is preparing to be questioned this week by members of the British Parliament over actions that led to the imposition of a $456 million fine, reports say.
It was levied last week to settle a probe into attempted manipulation and false reporting relating to two benchmark interest rates that form the basis for hundreds of trillions of dollars' worth of transactions.
CEO gives up bonus
Chief Executive Bob Diamond and a trio of other executives have agreed to give up bonuses this year due to their "collective responsibility as leaders." Diamond also noted that the activities by the bank's traders "fell well short" of the firm's standards.
There are reports that as many as 15 people have been disciplined or fired due the scandal, but Diamond has so far resisted growing political and public pressure to step down.
U.K. Business Secretary Vince Cable has called for a criminal investigation, telling the Manchester Evening News that it is hard to understand why the people behind "what looks like a conspiracy" were allowed to "just walk away."
The business-practices audit will be led by an independent third party that will report to Rake and to a panel of independent directors, Barclays said.
The auditors will "undertake a root-and-branch review of all the past practices that have been revealed as flawed since the credit crisis started and identify implications for our business practices and culture going forward," Barclays said.
The report will be published publicly and produce a new mandatory companywide code of conduct, the company said.

Conversion pixels from Facebook allow you to create Custom Audiences to retarget people who click on your pixeled geni.us links. This means that you can create more targeted campaigns around the items you're promoting by advertising directly to parties who were previously interested in the same, or similar products.
For example - If you promote Game of Thrones Season 1 on iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play through a geni.us link, you could pixel that link and create an audience for anyone who clicks. Then, as new seasons become available to stream, you could use that Custom Audience to specifically target users who previously clicked on the first season. This gives you the advantage of only advertising to people who have already shown interest in your promotions, leading to a higher chance of a repeat purchase.
How to create a Facebook Conversion Pixel:
There's two places you can create a conversion pixel: Facebook Ads Manager or Facebook Business Manager.
Ads Manager
1. Log into your Facebook account and go to Ads Manager
2. Click Conversion Tracking on the left side.
3. On the next screen, click Create Pixel on the upper-right of the screen.
4. Select a category for the pixel. We recommend either "Leads" or "Other Website Conversions," but it's up to you to define what you want to track.
5. Name your pixel. Probably best to name it after the promotion or campaign you want to build (or the geni.us link it's attached to).
6. Click Create Pixel.
7. Copy the code that appears in its entirety.
Business Manager
1. Log into your Business Manager account.
2. Click the Manage Ads dropdown in the top-left corner
3. Click on Conversion Tracking.
4. Click Create Pixel.
5. Name your pixel. Probably best to name it after the promotion or campaign you want to build (or the geni.us link it's attached to).
6. Click Create Pixel.
7. Copy the code that appears in its entirety, then head over to your Geniuslink Dashboard.

Nice muscles. The left upper leg seems a bit small in length, though.
Very nice. I'd like to see it on a background, or maybe with an idle motion.
Love the design, although why is his left leg shaded totaly purple? with the lighting it would be at least some pink,
I think the palette is horrible, but you did a great job using it.
Thnx guys! And thnx for the heads up, Bill. I kind of had a similar feeling, but I just really like the whole squarish feeling of the body. =P
The lower midsection looks like it ends prematurely, but that's a minor gripe really. Lovely sprite.
nice, i like the colors a lot, muscles looks good too, maybe change the red eyes to purple aswell

Skateboarding in Indonesia: Will the real Gator please stand up and skate?
Sébastien Abes about the double award winning skateboard movie Indonesi'am. Interview by Xavier Lannes.
When you think skateboarding, you think about California or New York or Skatepark of Tampa, hopefully Europe. Ultimately, China is coming up with a strong scene, so strong that even Woodward has decided to set foot and plant a park other there. But you never go to Indonesia to skate!
Well, that's what Sébastien Abes and his acolytes at Anagram Skateboard have done.
The result is a 25mn movie that won several skateboarding awards. They were crowned by Element Skateboard as the "Best Full Length Film" and by The Skateboard Film Festival as the "Best International Skateboard Movie". The Skateboard Film Festival is a collaborative effort by some of the industry's most respected entrepreneurs, filmmakers, photographers, and skateboarders. It was brought about to promote independent film making in the skateboard community at large.
It is open to the entire public by way of video submissions, and there will be several categories by which each film maker can submit his or her video short or full-length movie. Videos are carefully selected by a panel of judges and some 40-60 will be shown during the film festival weekend. You should go and see the movie below, it is definitely refreshing. Plus, now that it is the rainy season everywhere in skateboardlandia, that's a good time to see free fresh quality movies over the internet. If you like the movie, do not forget to post a message at the bottom of the blog for Sébastien, I sure will forward him all encouragements and critics alike.
The interview was done in French and then translated into English. For the French, the purists or the braggers, the French text will be available in a couple of days... In this interview, Sébastien talks about how hard it was to find spots in Indonesia and how they were about to be devoured by hungry alligators while skateboarding. BTW, I don't think that Mark Rogovski ever skated in Indonesia, but you never know with those reptiles…
Here is the movie:
More anagram Skateboarding >>
Sébastien, Do you work in the skate industry?
I have been doing skateboard for about 20 years, I love that. I have also worked in video for the past 8 years. I shoot, I create video skins, I edit, I am a director and so, I am interested in shooting skate movies from my own perspective. That is my personal project. I also work for skateboard brands. People ask me to shoot in a particular way and I don't add my personality. I also like shooting stuff outside skateboard, like in fashion, but I am much more into skateboarding. I have realized clips for Reef, Quiksilver, Laird Hamilton and Jart Skateboards; they produce their boards in Europe. I live close to Biarritz which is a crossroad for surfers, so it is easy to catch them and produce a surf video.
How did you prepare for the Indonesian film?
I got hooked up with my buddies at Anagram Skateboard, they offered me to do a skateboard movie in Indonesia and I accepted. Going to Indonesia to do a skateboard movie is something quite odd because usually people go where the infrastructure is, where the spots are. But we decided to go and meet the locals to see if it was possible to find skate spots over there and to do something original with nice images and especially to show the contrast between the European and the Indonesian culture.
What is Anagram Skateboard?
That's a French Skateboard Company from the Gers but we met in the Basque county. We got along pretty well because they have a vision of the skateboard culture which is very original: they try to do things differently, to create and that was what I liked about them and what pushed me to work with them. At first Anagram was very local, but now they are pretty well know in France. They have a strong team and a positive way to do things. They manufacture their boards in Canada and not in China and that shows how serious they are about quality.
How did you finance the operation?
I got a deal with the company I worked for and they produced the movie. I took vacations. We pooled all resources with the skaters that had sponsors so we could pay for the plane tickets. Anagram Skateboard could only help with the missing funds because they do not have a big market and they could not pay for the whole operation. But at the end, we juggled with the money and everything worked out fine.
What is Lonesome Star Entertainment?
That's the company I was working for. It still exists, but two years ago, I quit to creating Smogfilms my own company with three partners and now we are trying to make the company run with our own resources. Lonesome Star is working in the Surf business in particular and in all boardsports in general. My boss, Bruno Débauché, let me go to do the movie and I returned with a completed film.
How many of you were involved in that Indonesian trip?
We were 6 skaters: Niels Inne, Bastien Duverdier, Benoit Stevenot, Ludovic Massonau, Jean Matthieu Vincent who is Canadian and Romain Jorda….. There was also Kevin Metallier, a photographer and three people from Anagram. We went there because Anagram had a contact, a Frenchy who has double nationality and who could help us organize everything. He showed us the best spots, the places where we could skate he brought us to Bali, he organized everything.
Is he living in Bali or Jakarta?
Guillaume lives in Bali. His father is French and his mother is Indonesian but he moves all the time between Bali and Jakarta because his parents live in Jakarta.
Is Guillaume the one with the awesome skatepark in Bali?
That's him and his brother, but the skatepark does not exist anymore. The place belonged to the city and they had to give it back.
Does Guillaume still live in Indonesia?
Yes, both him and his brother still live in Bali. They are trying to set-up a skate brand. They are as active as ever in the Indonesian skateboard business.
How long did you stay in Indonesia?
We stayed a total of one month in Indonesia and 6 days in Bali. That was what was needed because it was hard to find spots and in the movie, I explain why there are so few tricks scenes…
Yeah! You got into trouble with local police!
When you go into a new country that you know nothing about, you don't know how people will react. Fortunately, we got help from local skaters. Sometimes we had to give money to local enforcement and they let us skate and sometimes we did not quite know how to handle it, so it was kinda hard . On top of that, there was the harassing heat and the nasty weather which does not help for skating and finally, we had to move from one spot to another all the time and that's like mission impossible because you take the cab and there's traffic everywhere and it takes forever. That's a pain.
More trouble apart from the cops?
Indonesia is a Muslim country but we did not run into any kind of extremism. Of course, we saw people with the Hijab, but most of them were up to date, very modern, some chicks were even wearing mini skirts.
Is there an extended skate scene in Indonesia?
You can't say that there are a lot of skaters, but that's because of the way the Indonesian society is divided. You have a lot of very poor people and some affluent people. No middle class. All the skaters are coming from rich parents because they are the only ones that can afford to buy a skateboard. Curiously, there are a lot of skate shops. We even went to a contest not only with people from Indonesia, but with other people from all over the world. So, yes, there are skaters, but they don't have the same level as the Europeans, and we Europeans don't have the same level as the Americans. But I was really happy to see that the skateboard scene is thriving and buoyant.
What was the material you used to shoot the movie?
A Panasonic HGX200, like Ty Evans and a mini 35 which is an adapter where you can put different kinds of lenses and therefore have the same focus as in a movie. The adapter makes really nice images.
In the movie, there is a special dedication to the beauty of the image and that makes it totally different from any other skateboard film and therefore, very interesting. On top of that, what I liked is the fact that you are relating a story… We are used to see skate videos where there is no storyline, where there are only tricks and I am not saying that's bad, but it's just that it is only for certain kind of people. That is very true that my purpose was to do a nice movie in a foreign country with beautiful images…
You definitely have you own way when it comes to color processing. That is magnificent. Are the colors in you movie natural or do you have some kind of treatment or editing secret?
That's the editing! I always try to do this when I edit my movies. I try to homogenize all my clips' images so that, for example when there is a beautiful prevailing orange there should not be a dominant blue after that. I like that uniformity and a certain picture environment so the images have a soul, because when you mix beautiful images with beautiful music, it gives you a special emotion. That's what I like to do: to really give a soul by itself to the editing and the images that I treat.
Is it that image treatment that gives its authentic cachet to the movie?
That's the way I shoot it. I used a maladroit kind of filming…
But it's done on purpose; it's filmed like a voyeur…
Yes, it's done on purpose. For example, I use odd angles, I take cover, I use free hand and at the end that gives a special style to the movie. The spectator is like a witness. You are here, you witness the scene but you are not into it, you are detached from the action.
There is an amazing scene in Bali, in an old attraction park…
This place was truly amazing. To go there, we had to take the cab for 45mn. The park is close to the beach but it is so forlorn that we had the impression to have landed in a no man's land, we felt like Indiana Jones. There were abandoned temples everywhere, like a lost city that once hosted a great civilization. So, we skate everywhere to try to find spots and suddenly, we hit dozens of crocodiles. Suddenly we were tripping, because we were skating on top of an unstable bridge about to fall and down below were blood and crocodiles everywhere. We had no idea where the crocodiles were coming from, but they were alive and kicking.
How many hours do you have in stock?
A lot! I shoot whatever I can: the surroundings, the trips in the cabs, people around the skaters. I try to have a lot so I have a lot of choice and then I edit my movies like a jigsaw puzzle but to do that you need to shoot a lot, so I have gigas of hour of skate.
Do you shoot in analogue?
I would like to shoot with films but it is too expensive. I'm used to work in digital so that's what I will keep on doing. I don't have enough money to use films, maybe Super-8, but there's not a lot of things you can do in Super-8. You can't shoot a good trick in Super-8.
How did you learn about the Skateboard Film Festival?
A friend gave me the link, I looked at it and I though it was very interesting, especially the fact that there was a lot of different movies coming from so many different countries. I think doing festival like this is an excellent idea it helps people to evolve.
You won the Best International?
Yes, what was interesting in that festival was all the categories : the films had to fit into one of the 7 categories, sponsor me (5 minutes maximum), shop video (15 minutes minimum), feature film
(over 20 minutes), creative short (under 20 minutes), documentary (any length) and finally International (any length). There is also something called wild card which is a 30 seconds maximum commercial of any favorite skateboard company containing these 3 props: cell phone, car and a tree. At the end, I am happy I won the best International award; it is a recognition in the skate business.
What did the award bring you?
Just something to add to my resume, it did not bring me more. Only a couple of people like you contacted me. I did not have anyone asking me to come and work for them. But I definitely loved the award and it is definitely a recognition and an incentive to keep doing new films.
You live in Bayonne (close to Biarritz), in the Basque County in France, how is the skate scene over there?
We have skate parks, but not the one we would like to have. The Cote Basque is the French California. There are a lot of companies from the skate and surf industries, we have Volcom, Element, Quiksilver etc… so there should be more skate infrastructure but there's really nothing top notch. Those companies have their own private mini ramp and they often do private parties but that's it. What are missing are the street spots. When we want to skate we have to go to Spain. They actually are building a nice skatepark in Irun, on the Spanish side of the border
The last word?
This movie is really the one I enjoyed most to do. When I watch it, I see it has a soul. It is a movie that defines me. I would like to do another one with Anagram Skateboards, but going in another country where there is no skate at all…
Labels: Anagram Skateboard, Sébastien AbesI skate therefore I am: skateboard pools, pipes, parks, bowls and vert, daily skateboarding news...

Journeys: Captain James Cook
Journeys: Captain James Cook
As a North Yorkshire based singer, songwriter and producer, I was interested in creating a musical project about one of the great heroes from the region, Captain James Cook.
After joining the Captain Cook Society, I encountered Frederick McKinnon, a New York City playwright and seasoned writer of librettos, who was searching for a new composer and a fellow Cook enthusiast to compose and professionally record music for his theatrical play. I joined forces with Fred to collaborate on development of a full-length musical play about Captain Cook's accomplishments and his demise as well as the loving relationship between him and his wife Elizabeth.
I thoroughly studied Fred's lyrics and created music to convey the drama, character and aura of each scene. I brought out the emotions of each scene using classic rock/pop and funk music styles. Although Fred and I are 3000 miles apart, we were nonetheless able to establish an efficient working relationship by utilising frequent teleconferencing and listening to recordings via Dropbox, to discuss the script and songs. By the end of 2014, I had written and demoed most of the 21 songs to both our approval, including arrangements of 2 songs of original composer John Saclausa, which had not been previously recorded or scored professionally.
I then engaged 8 singers to perform the songs and dialogue. In July 2015, I released the first CD featuring 6 songs from the play, which is available here. Later, in September 2015 I performed as a resident artist at the Staithes Arts festival to promote the play.
I cooperated with a Sibelius expert to produce the entire score with lead sheets, for the full-length musical, which we completed and made available by November 2015. During Fred's visit to my Northern Soundscapes Studio in December 2015, we finalised all 29 scenes for the double CD audio version and in February 2016, we successfully launched full-length audio version of 'Journeys', receiving excellent feedback.

The ability to split into two or more people, each having a specific emotion. Combination of Replication and Emotion Embodiment.
Also Called
- Emotion Cloning
- Emotional Division/Duplication
- Empathic Cloning/Copying/Division/Duplication/Replication
- Irregular Emotional Cloning
The user is able to split into two or more bodies, each having a specific emotion, the copy has the same personality, with only a few differing details. Being the incarnation of the user's other emotions, their copy is shown to be much more emotional and sincere. When letting their emotional side out, the original person doesn't change.
This ability could be used in fighting as it can give an advantage to fighting a person who has no one to back them up. It can also give help when doing an activity that needs more people (e.g. going on a date with a girl and doing work simultaneously). However, the twin has free will, which means a user must be in harmony with themselves to make the ability work.
- Aspect Expulsion
- Emotional Energy Manipulation
- Emotion Manipulation
- Empathy
- Ergokinetic Cloning
- Replication
- User's copy only comes out when they feel lost or irregular emotions.
- User has no control of the copy once it is out and it is the copy's choice whether it goes back in or not.
- Copy may only have a certain emotion.

-blogged by @worldwidekeege
With the new year here, everyone has resolutions about not just losing weight but eating healthier. Here are some ways you can change dishes in your normal diet to make them better for you.
1. Adding Onions to a dish always adds flavor. Instead of adding a bunch of seasoning salts and oils to sauté them, use an organic margarine
and add an herb like thyme or parsley to add some color and some spice.
2. If you are one of those people that add sugar to everything before you eat it. This tip is for you. Instead of adding those fatty substances to cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, and/or fruit, try cinnamon first! It is still light and airy in consistency and can help kick your fix for something extremely sweet.
3. Instead of chips and dips, snack on pita and hummus. There are some that feel like hummus is nasty, but you can always add some pizazz with Tahini and lemon juice. If you're feeling really spicy, you could also throw in some veggies and make it a side dish.
4. Everyone loves strawberries and sugar! Piggybacking on tip #2, instead of dousing your strawberries in sugar, add a different twist by sprinkling some balsamic vinegar and black pepper on your fruit. It may not be for everyone, but for those who love it it is a perfect way to save some calories!
5. For those salad lovers out there, we have a great and healthy alternative to salad dressing. To avoid ranch, vinegarette, etc., all of which have so much saturated fat and other acidic ingredients, here's a different twist to spice up your salads. Take some olive oil, add oregano, apple cider vinegar, and some garlic, and now you have a nice fat free dressing for salad or any other delicacy.
Try some of these recipes and let us know how you like them. Are there any quick healthy fixes that you use daily?

Wan-li: Year 37, Month 5, Day 2
3 Jun 1609
Some Japanese ships drifted to Xiao-cheng in the Fu-jian seas. Naval forces pursued them to Zhang-zhou Port and Xian-qi, where 27 yi persons were captured. Through interpreters it was learned that they were Japanese merchant yi who travelled to foreign lands, and that they had been blown ashore by the winds. Among them there were people of the country of Korea who had in years past been carried off by the Japanese and sold. Also, there were Luzon people and Western fan people, some of whom had sold themselves as servants and some of whom were returning home on the ship. The Fu-jian Grand Coordinator Xu Xue-ju advised and noted: "Korea is a country under our jurisdiction (我屬國). These people are homeless and vagrant. We should make suitable arrangements for them. The Western fan are not tributary yi, but rather are a rebellious tribe. As to [those persons from] Luzon, in past years, they killed almost 10,000 of our merchants. Its people must not be treated indulgently. As long as they have no rebellious desires, we cannot be too severe on such people. Also, among the Japanese and the various other yi, there are many women and children. We cannot kill innocents, but likewise, releasing them would violate the law. The only option is to detain them but without executing them." The memorial was sent to the Ministry of War.

A 32-year-old Iranian who is a US citizen has been imprisoned without notice of any formal charges while visiting his family in Iran, according to Fox News. Reverend Saeed Abedini, who lives in the US with his wife and two young children, was visiting his extended family in Iran when he was reportedly pulled off a bus and interrogated by the Iranian government.
Abedini spent many years as a Christian leader in Iran, working as a community organizer developing Iran's underground home church communities. In Iran, converts to Christianity are not allowed to meet and worship in public, and have therefore organized an underground community for converts.
After persecution for their work in the Christian community, Abedini and his wife left Iran in 2005 to settle in the US and raise a family. On the pastor's last trip to Iran to visit family, the Iranian government pulled him off a bus and said he "must face a penalty for his previous work as a Christian leader in Iran."
He was originally held at his parent's home under house arrests, according to his wife, but is currently awaiting trial at Iran's notoriously brutal Evin Prison. He has been incarcerated there since September, when the Iranian police ambushed his parent's home, putting the family under house arrest and taking Abedini into custody.
According to Abedini's wife, her husband's extended family is under house arrest, as well.
"When he became a Christian, he became a criminal in his own country. His passion was to reach the people of Iran," Naghmeh, his wife, told Fox News.
"He comes from a very close-knit family, and he loved evangelizing and passing out Bibles on the streets of Tehran. This was his passion," she said.
On September 26, five men allegedly kicked open the door of Abedini's parents' home in Tehran. They confiscated all communications devices and arrested Adedini while placing the rest of his family members, who are also Christians converts from Islam, under house arrest.
Naghmeh reported that her husband is "the father of a house church movement," and that over the course of his involvement, the movement had about 100 churches in 30 Iranian cities, with more than 2,000 members.
"It was just growing so fast. They see the underground churches as a threat and they see Christianity as a tool from the West to undermine them," Naghmeh said. "They think if the country becomes more Christian, they are no longer under Islamic authority. That's why it's a threat."
But Christianity "saved his life," Naghmeh says of her husband. Abedini converted to Christianity at the age of 20, after undergoing training as a suicide bomber.
Abedini was recruited in high school by a radical Muslim group and taken to the mosque to be trained, she says. Fox News reports, "The more he sought to be a devout Muslim and the deeper he went into training, the more depressed he became."
"It's hardest on the kids," Naghmeh said of her husband's absence. "Saeed was a stay-at-home dad. My daughter said she is forgetting Daddy's voice and she asked me, 'Do you think he has a beard now?' I didn't even think of that. She keeps playing the home videos over and over. It's the hardest at night because he had a night routine with them when he would read them books and tuck them in. They miss that the most."
The National Review Online calls for Iran to free Abedini, noting: "Simply put, Iran cannot be permitted to imprison and abuse American citizens."

Aaron Hackett helped my wife and I to better understand why our new son had a flat spot on his head. It turns out our son was born with tense neck muscles, which caused him to keep his head turned in one direction. Now our son has a great head shape and is so handsome, thanks to Aaron's recommendation. I trust his opinions and advice, and would recommend him to anyone with any therapy needs! Aaron will help you, no matter your needs!
I worked with Aaron as a physical therapy aide for about a year and a half. Aaron is highly dedicated to the field of physical therapy and to the treatment of his patients. Aaron always makes the effort to enact an effective treatment and to make it as enjoyable as possible for every patient he treats. He takes the time to really get to know people as well as their injury. Aaron always acts in a professional and ethical manner in his dealings with patients, associates, or anyone else he comes in contact with. I have no reservations in recommending Aaron to friends, family or anyone else in need of treatment.
Aaron is awesome. I was in a lot of pain due to a injury sustained while boxing. He came to my house for a evaluation and everything he did to help me during that visit helped! I would recommend Aaron to anyone and will!!
Arron is a man of great integrity and sincere concern for the wellness of others. I highly recommend him.

Beginning's End Book One of the Shattered Skies series by Heather Linn begins with an alien invasion. But it's not the kind we think of: little men with big heads. No, it's something far worse, and humans ignored the warnings.
The aliens of Catalina's world are vampires who have come to enslave, feed upon and breed with the human race. The product of vampires and humans are Dominus, who are virtually invincible because of the vampires' careful planning. But will their over-planning be their downfall?
The first chapter caught my attention right away. Who is Catalina? What is her weapon against these creatures that are twice as fast, twice as strong and can survive in the daylight? And how did she just kill one?
The author's world of the Shattered Skies series has pretty cool concept of vampires and what would happen if they invaded Earth. The main character Catalina is brash and tough. She is not satisfied with her lot in life and is out to fight for her freedom. But one night everything goes horribly wrong when she finds herself face-to-face with the king Dominus.
As far-fetched as the events in the book are, I kept reading. Catalina was an OK character. She was consistent. She was tough. She also was bit annoying, but not enough for me to stop reading. The other characters were one-dimensional. Some of them were stupid. I should say naïve. OK. Some were naïve and some were down right stupid. But they did their job in supporting whatever Catalina took it upon herself to do.
The plot is sketchy. I kept waiting for something to be revealed and it never was. Nothing was really resolved and Catalina makes a mess of things. However, the background and the history were good. I think that's why I kept reading, just waiting for that big reveal that never came. I was not satisfied with the ending.
The setting is basic. It plays a role in the "plot" but is not overly important.
This book has a lot of sexual content in it, so I'll have to rate this for adults only even though the characters are barely out of their teens. It bordered on erotica in places so be aware.
Although it began with intrigue, the breadcrumbs left by Beginning's End were not enough for me to follow into the next book of the series.
Rating 3/5

This Weeks Devotional: "Wisdom of their ways"
Read: Psalm 36:9; Proverbs 10:11; Proverbs 13:14; Proverbs 16:22
Every other week I go to the Arthur Home to read to the residents there. I spend a half hour reading various books from start to finish over time. Recently I started reading Billy Graham's new book entitled "Nearing Home, Life, Faith, and Finishing Well." It has been interesting to see and hear some of their responses as they listen to Pastor Graham's wisdom of 93 years. (Many of them are close to the same age as Billy Graham and can relate to what he writes)
It has been a good experience for me as well. As we begin a new year I am reminded again about the wisdom that the older generation has to share with us. In those scriptures above David and Solomon remind us as well about the "words of the Godly" and the "life giving fountain" of wisdom that older believers have to share with us.
Even those who are 10 years older have had 10 more years of experiences, and life situations to learn and grow from. We would be wise to tap into that wisdom and use their stories and their advice to help us in our Christian journey.
It is also important for us to think about who we can mentor. At any age there is always someone younger that can be helped by some of the experiences that you have had and learned from. When we encourage the next generation of Christians we are planting seeds for God's kingdom that will flourish long after our time on earth is over.
I ran across a poem by Lanette Kissel that says it well….
"They have made their share of mistakes, may have learned life's lessons the hard way. It has taken years of living and learning to turn their hair to lovely shades of gray. Though their hearing and eyesight may be weak, and the gait of their walk may be slow, they are able to point you in the direction it would be best for you to go. They have seen the sun rise and set on an endless number of days. You know you can surely benefit from the wisdom of their ways. Do you find that they are truly wise, or do you think of them as simply old? Yet realize that their knowledge and insight are worth more than silver and gold."
Make it personal: Who is a mentor to you? Who can you mentor? These are good questions to ask as we begin a New Year. Remember that each interaction you have with an older or younger person may be an opportunity to learn or to teach.
Many blessings in the year ahead,
Glen Rhodes, Minister of Discipling and Community Life

Why you need a referral
Since we opened our doors in 1976, our team at Veterinary Specialty Center (VSC) has worked closely with the Chicago-area veterinary community and the families that they serve. Although some cases do come to VSC through the emergency room, most cases are referred by a pet's primary care veterinarian when they either don't have the diagnostic tools to identify what is wrong or a pet needs more advanced veterinary care than they are able to offer.
Once your pet is referred, our specialists stay in contact with your veterinarian throughout the case to keep him or her updated while diagnosing and treating your pet. That partnership continues until we are able to return your pet to your regular veterinarian's care.

Everything You Need to Know About Social Media and India's General Election
BY Jessica McKenzie | Wednesday, April 9 2014
The biggest democratic election in the world to date is taking place in India from April 7 to May 14, and, for the first time in India, the results might hinge on who runs a better social media campaign. The Mumbai research firm Iris Knowledge Foundation has said that Facebook will "wield a tremendous influence" but Indian politicians are not limiting their attentions to India's most popular social media platform. In addition to virtual campaigning are initiatives to inform, educate and encourage Indians to participate in their democracy.
Keeping Up with the Candidates
As techPresident has previously reported, Facebook got involved in Indian politics last year when the company partnered with the Times of India for a get-out-the-vote campaign. In March they launched an election tracker and a series of town hall conversations called Facebook Talks Live, in which candidates responded to questions posed by Facebook users.
(Narendra Modi, the National Democratic Alliance candidate for prime minister, backed out of Facebook Talks Live just before he was scheduled to appear as the first guest of the series. Some report he canceled because of another television partnership, whereas others say he backed out because of the kind of questions Facebook users had submitted.)
Google launched their own elections portal—imagined as a one stop shop for voters—in December. Like Facebook, the portal has election-related videos and recorded Google Hangouts, and Google tracks the amount of search activity around candidates, updating a list of the five with the highest "Google Score" every day.
Google has also partnered with Storyful to produce their Open Elections India Google+ page, which will feature content curated by Storyful journalists and "key partners" about election issues and candidates.
Social Somosa is also running an election tracker, another one stop shop for "all social media conversations around the 2014 general elections," and for tracking popularity—based on followers and engagement—on major social media platforms.
Global Voices reports that the election awareness initiative run by the company Tate Tea, Jaago Re, is sponsoring a campaign to get women to the polls called the Power of 49. (Women in India represent 49 percent of the electoral base but are less likely to vote than men.)
Big Data Tactics
The Washington Post published an interesting article on the "Obama-style" campaign tactics being used by some of the candidates, including the micro-targeting of specific groups.
"[Narendra] Modi's followers run war rooms in three cities," the Post reports, "with social media and speechwriting teams that can fine-tune his message for specific groups."
Campaign analysts translated polling information from the past six elections from dozens of languages to discover voters likely to be sympathetic to Modi.
The BBC reports that political parties have hired the digital marketing agency Pinstorm to track conversations on online platforms so that they can adjust their message accordingly.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), is using Pinstorm to "compare how we are faring against others," the party's social media strategist told the BBC. This is the first general election the anti-corruption AAP has participated in.
Tools of the Trade
Finally, a Financial Times blog post highlighted four interesting uses of social media in the India election, including a voter registration and mobilization platform by Narendra Modi's campaign called NaMoNumber, the use of WhatsApp's group messaging function to organize volunteers and campaign workers, and using lo-tech missed calls and SMS messages to communicate with voters.
This year has also seen a change in the way journalists cover Indian elections. The BBC has begun using WhatsApp and WeChat to send election updates and news to subscribers.
Still, some remain skeptical of the "tremendous influence" social media will have on the election.
"The importance of social media has grown," Sanjay Kumar, an election expert and director of the Center for the Study of Developing Societies, told the Washington Post, "but look at the size of the population, the number of people living in villages, the number of illiterates."

Ingredients and Health - Improving meat products by different quality parameters
Testing and implementing new ingredients or optimizing and replacing current ingredients are ongoing processes in the meat industry. By performing experimental work in our pilot plant facilities supplemented with in-house analyses we support the meat industry in solving current challenges.
- Healthy ingredients such as dietary fibers or protein enrichment are used to develop new products with more healthy profiles. Satiating effects and consumer attitudes towards new meat products are evaluated when adding healthy ingredients.
- Functional ingredients can be replaced, reduced or even left out in order to develop new products – e.g. more "clean label" products. When changing a recipe, it is important that the resulting product has the same or an even better quality.
- Product and process optimization in a meat production can be used to improve the products or processes. DMRI are currently looking into ways of changing processes of cooking a product to a lower core temperature and still ensure a safe process and product.
- Quality analyses can be sensory, chemical, physical or microbial information – all relevant for the overall quality of meat products. At our laboratory facilities, standardized as well as new techniques to measure the quality of meat and meat products are used.
Both as an intern, bachelor and master student you will be able to build your project from your expertise in relation to our current projects. You will be conducting your own experiments in our laboratory facilities together with our skilled technicians in our pilot plant, sensory or chemical laboratories.

This recipe for Cordon Bleu Appetizers has been in my "to try" file for years. By years I mean years. I've seen it often in my file but never made it. Then I had so much ham leftover from Easter I froze some of it and thought, I'm finally going to make this nibble! I did make it recently when our neighbors came over for a spontaneous happy hour a few weekends ago. I must say, they were well received by our guests. Not one was left. Serve them warm from the oven or at room temperature.
I really love the addition of mustard in this recipe. It's a very subtle flavor. The recipe originally says to use a loaf of French bread but I would have preferred to use a baguette. Unfortunately I couldn't find one at the supermarket the day I shopped. I sliced the loaf then cut each slice in half for a more manageable appetizer. I also love the flavor the Swiss cheese adds.
These cordon bleu appetizers would also be great for a game day gathering, cocktail party, New Year's Eve or as a snack. They are delicious with wine (a nice Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay), beer or a cocktail. I served them with all those beverages.
Cordon Bleu Appetizers
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- ¾ cup diced fully cooked ham
- ½ cup minced chives, divided
- 18 slices French bread (½ inch thick, each slice cut in half) or use a French baguette sliced ½ inch thick
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese and mustard until smooth. Gently stir in the Swiss cheese, ham and ¼ cup chives. Spread 1 tablespoon mixture over each bread slice. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with remaining chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.
I would have preferred using a thinner baguette but there were none available at my store. If you use the French bread be sure to cut each slice in half. It's more of an appetizer portion.
Recipe adapted from Taste of Home.

On Saturday 28th August 2010 I exchanged beautiful wedding vows with Mr M the man who I have chosen to spend the rest of my life with.
Mr M has blown me away by flying me to Ibiza my favourite destination on Earth other than home to celebrate our nuptials! I do have my wonderful parents to thank for as they love spending time with Jay and can't get enough of their only grandson so I know he'll have a good week while his mummy hangs out with his daddy after what seems like a long time. It does feel odd leaving Jay as I am always with him but I think it would be good for him too to have a mini break from his primary carer.
Mr M works long hours and lately it's been a case of ships passing in the night but we always make time to share a joke with one another and laugh. I am looking forward to catching up with my husband and who knows we might even head out to a club after all it would be rude not to when visiting the party Island of the World. I do love the music scene here and the atmosphere but it's not all about the hedonistic crowds. We love taking a leisurely stroll around Ibiza Old town especially Dalt Vila the Unesco World heritage site which is pretty much the iconic symbol of Ibiza.
Tonight we have a dinner reservation at a restaurant called Sa Punta. I can't wait as I've heard it's a beautiful restaurant with stunning decor and views as well as good food.
I'm pretty sure we will be reminiscing about our wonderful mini moon which also happened to be here on this magical Island and we even came back a year later to celebrate our very first wedding anniversary, so you get the picture I really enjoy being here as it holds special happy memories. I guess some destinations make a mark and My Mark is someone I feel glad to have met and fallen in love with.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I know there is a difference between stock and broth. I know there is probably a "correct" way of making it. I've seen boatloads of recipes and ideas online and I figured I'd share my own.
I have to start by saying I did not cook thanksgiving dinner this year. I went to the in-laws. However, the in-laws aren't big on cooking so they graciously donated the turkey bones to me! YAY! (ok, I seriously crossed the line into food geek-ness, I'm excited about a turkey carcass)
To get started I put the whole carcass, meat and all, in the biggest pot I have. Then I fill it with water and add spices. To be honest, I don't really measure anything. I sprinkle in some whole peppercorns, garlic powder, onion powder, sage (or poultry seasoning) and salt. The salt I do measure out just about a tablespoon of course sea salt for my biggest pot.
I then cover and bring this whole concoction to a rolling boil and continue to boil it for about 20 minutes. If the pot overflows a bit I just take the cover off and it normally solves the problem. After the boil, I turn it down to a simmer, cover and cook it for at a few hours. It's just one of those things I do while I'm running errands or cleaning the house. After a few hours, I turn the heat back up to high and bring to a boil one more time. I find this double boil method works great! I get a nice deep flavored broth and the color is amazing.
After the second boil, I turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once it's cooled, I dump the whole thing through a strainer. The broth goes in a large bowl in the refrigerator while I clean off any good meat from the bones to use in the soup. It's a messy job but if you take your tome you can get a a good amount of meat you didn't even realize was even there! Just look at that bowl of turkey!
Back to the broth in the fridge, after a few hours if there is any fat in the broth it will create a layer on the top allowing you to skim it off. If you want to speed up the process put the bowl in the freezer for a bit. I find that if you remove all the skin before boiling this step is not necessary.
After all that (it really isn't that much, is it?) I do two things.
I make soup.
I put the broth back into the pot adding the turkey pickings, carrots, celery, onion, uncooked brown rice and anything else I feel like. Bring that whole concoction to a boil, lower to a simmer and serve once veggies are tender.
I use rice because, unlike noodles, I don't mind if it get's "mushy". If you rather noodles in your soup then make the noodles separately and add to the soup when servings. It will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
I also keep the veggies cut large. It prevents them from coming to mushy as well.
I freeze the leftover stock.
Using a method similar to my frozen meat trick, I put stock in 8, 16 and even 32oz servings so I can pull out just what I needs when I'm cooking.
That's it, the story of the leftover turkey bones. I actually had fun doing this all day today. I love cooking on Sundays!

So you're probably wondering – what does this have to do with driving or how is this going to help me to improve my driving skills?
Well strangely this could help! Recently, my girlfriend passed her driving test and with no discouragement it took her 4 attempts until she got it right. I didn't know she had passed until around a week later, a few days before I was going to see her.
Her success was great for many reasons:
- She could get out more to improve her driving
- We could get out and do things more easily
- It gave me the chance to observe from the sidelines and see what she does differently to me
- And generally, it gave me the chance to trust a brand new driver!
Trusting a new driver
Trust is the first key aspect, without it we wouldn't have been going anywhere – she needed to trust me to be a rational passenger and I needed to trust her to drive safely!
Before I got into the car with her, I was pumped, so happy, and not worried about being her passenger. Once I was in, I did get a bit nervous, but all I could do was encourage her to keep going; and it worked.
By skills I mean, general driving ability – where my girlfriend lives is a mixture between horrible country roads, small compacted towns, and even big cities. Some of the roads we had to face were horrible and the first thing I noticed was the car itself – her car is very different to mine, so some of the ways she did things were different simply because of how her car is designed.
But overall her skill level was great and after each drive I'd rate her up to 10. At first she got 6/7 ish marks, but each day that got higher and higher, which taught me a lesson: Just because you get something wrong and it knocks a mark off, it doesn't mean you're a bad driver, it just means there's space to improve!
From stalling to missing chances at roundabouts – a lot happened to create those lower marks in my experience as the passenger, but what I noticed is that every time something went wrong she'd worry and rush things, and each time it failed again! Cars beeped now and then, but until she thought about it and took her time, it kept on going wrong. So once again the lesson for me, is not to worry if something goes wrong, and not to rush.
How does this help me?
I'm taking on board everything that I observed, into my own driving. This should help to improve my skills and to be more confident behind the wheel. Hopefully, this will encourage others to do the same.
Observe from the sidelines and you may just learn something new.
