Many, many things have changed since my glory days as mother of the bride. Specifically, there are several wedding trends that have emerged in the past few years – such as the increasing popularity of personalized weddings, non-traditional weddings, theme weddings, mismatched bridesmaid dresses, and more. But one trend that has nearly trumped them all is the emergence of the so-called "wedsite," or wedding website. According to recent statistics, a whopping 75% of soon-to-be-married couples have their own website, the URL of which is typically included on their save the date cards. But the question is – what is driving this trend?
3 Reasons Why Wedding Websites are Popular
Well, the obvious answer is that the technology behind wedsites helps harried couples be more efficient when it comes to coordinating their wedding. They typically have all the key dates and specifics laid out in writing – such as the event time(s), hotel details, directions to the venue, registry location, etc. – the provision of which definitely helps to minimize the possibility for wedding guest confusion down the road. Plus, if anything changes, or if the happy couple just wants to blog about their day-to-day experiences leading up to the big day, the new information can be disseminated quickly.
Another reason for this growing trend is that wedding websites help improve the overall level of interactivity between the happy couple and the guests. For example, the happy couple's site might have polls or surveys designed to gather feedback from the guests on things like the theme, music selection, food, first dance, and more. Many of these websites also link directly to Pinterest boards which allow guests to vote on and/or suggest dresses, shoes, flowers, etc. As the old saying goes, two heads are better than one, and as such wedsites are great to get the creative juices flowing.
The other less obvious reason I can think of for the growing popularity of these websites is that sometimes there is a financial benefit. For example, one person I know actually included a PayPal donation button on her site to allow guests to contribute financially. Similarly, this concept could also be used as a piggyback technique to maximize your wedding registry bounty!
The Downsides of Wedsites
As far as I can tell, there are only a few downsides to having a website for your wedding. One is that the grandmother of the bride or groom (or any elderly wedding guest for that matter) might not be equipped to use a website. Another downside is that if your site gets indexed and ranked in the search engines, you could potentially have hundreds or thousands of strangers access your personal wedding details. Another potential downside is that the URL of choice is likely not available these days, so you'll need to go with a more obscure and/or longer URL, which raises the slight risk that one of your guests might get confused and land on the wrong site!
The Bottom Line
All in all, I am all for this hot new trend. Wedding websites are dirt cheap to create, and they make life easier for the happy couple as well as the guests. Thus, they provide tremendous value for everyone. Three of the more popular wedding website companies are eWedding.com, WeddingChannel.com and MyWedding.com. Just make sure to hold grandma's hand throughout the process, and mark your wedsite as 'private' to block it from the search engines. Follow these simple tips, and all the downsides essentially disappear. Good luck!

How to Succeed More in Business
The more your experiment, the more you'll succeed in business.
- Great products aren't formed by one magical idea.
- Magnificent designs aren't conceived by one magical spark.
- Thriving businesses don't thrive on one magical business plan.
Instead, to succeed in business, it takes:
- Experimenting.
- Experimenting.
- Experimenting.
Every experiment gets you more:
- knowledge of what the market wants
- understanding of what influences human peeps
- insight into what you can exploit to rock the world
How Something Becomes Great
The process to making anything great:
- You start with something totally sucky.
- You make it suck less.
- Then less.
...until you're gradually releasing/selling/developing/building something totally coooooooooool! Hooray!
But, when do you know specifically how to make something suck less?
You'll know after:
- Experimenting.
- Experimenting.
- Experimenting.
Every experiment gradually gets you closer to your ultimate goal.
Why Can't You Plan These Things?
If it's possible to tell the future, fortune-tellers would be rich and we'd all be their little b@^ches.
But the fact is:
- Amazon still fails.
- Google still fails.
- Steve Jobs still fails.
- Sequoia Capital still fails.
- Your momma still fails.
We can't tell the future. We can't really know what works.
But, we can have a clearer insight of what works.
- Experimenting.
- Experimenting.
- Experimenting.
Every experiment gets you a better insight of what will work.
Result: You make freakish progress to your ultimate goal.
Yay! Hooray! High-five!
The Steppers
- Choose your ultimate goal.
- Experiment like a mofokoko to discover the best path to get there.
- Win!
Experiment like a drug-induced ostrich who just discovered he can't fly.

text: Either the low carb diet I've been on has affected my brain, or I slept through what appear to be several posts about Anthony's pizza, but we finally made it there last night and I'm considering either forgetting about this low carb stuff or cheating on a more regular basis!!! We tried half and half - the sliced tomato,fresh mozzarela and basil - and the most delicious pizza with thinly sliced eggplant. This was probably the best pizza I've had since Italy and better than some pizza I've had in Italy. Oh, their house salad was very nice, too. I'm so excited that this place is actually 15 minutes away from home!!!

Firefighters face uncertainty each time they enter a burning building.
The smoke can be blinding. Many times, the only light available is from the flames roaring above, beneath or behind them.
"If you close your eyes, you'll be seeing exactly what the firefighters see," Vernon Assistant Fire Chief Tony Patrizz said. "You couldn't see your hand in front of your face."
Many departments have begun using thermal imaging to help firefighters see through the smoke and the dark. Now, through the efforts of a local woman, Vernon's department has the equipment, too.
Thermal imaging systems use the varying heat from objects to create images, which allow firefighters to see doorways, sources of fires -- and possible victims.
Resident Ellen Prairie was not aware of the daunting task that faced firefighters when she first learned of thermal imaging on television in 1997. Once she realized its importance, she asked Fire Chief Robert Kelley whether the department had one of the devices. When she learned it did not, she spearheaded a fund-raiser.
Her efforts netted about $40,000, which allowed the department to purchase two Talisman hand-held thermal imagers, one for each department in town.
On Wednesday, half of the department's firefighters traveled to the Hartford Fire Department's training academy to test their new equipment. About 25 firefighters, in teams of five, entered a training building in which a fire had been set and "victims" were waiting to be rescued.
"Without the [imagers], we would have to hold hands and crawl on the floor to determine where the fire or the victims were," Patrizz said. "It was all done by touch."
With the imagers, the firefighters were not only able to see where they were going, but they could locate the victims without having to feel around the burning structure, where temperatures can reach 500 degrees. In addition, the devices transmit images to a remote monitor, which allows firefighters outside the structure to see what those inside might miss.
"The image between the imager and one's eyes is somewhat blurred because of the smoke," Patrizz said. "So it's not only good for finding people, but it helps us get out."
The department sent half of its officers to the training academy to use the equipment last week. Wednesday's group was the other half, said department spokesman Ken Kalos.
"We had to use two groups because we couldn't strip the town of all its firefighters without a training center locally," Kalos said. "We wanted to get them familiarized with it. Of course, you can't wait for a fire to happen."
The equipment will be formally presented to the department Sept. 20, at the department's Nye Street headquarters. Prairie and other contributors will attend the presentation, and will see a videotaped demonstration.
"We owe a lot to [Prairie]," Kalos said. "She felt it was something that was a worthwhile cause."
Kalos said the department was also grateful to the Hartford Fire Department for letting Vernon's firefighters use the training facility.
Kalos said that in addition to their use in improving firefighters' capabilities, the imagers will be used to locate people who may be missing in wooded areas.
"It's really amazing what a difference it can make," Kalos said.

Our two weeks in Lanzarote were brilliant. The diving was a lot of fun, and the guys and girls at the dive club were very entertaining (thank you Jo for you patience ... especially with my weight belt issues). The surf wasn't anything different (reminded me of Woolly but with a lot of wind and a bloody strong x-shore current) but it was great to get wet in warm water and a great big lump of sunshine. Lisa was a bit jealous of my trips to the north side of the island and so in the second week jump on-board the minibus and had a days surf lessons. She might even now be a convert ... although I don't think she'll be letting go of her bodyboard just yet. The big surprise was finding some very worthy and technical downhill mountain-biking. Only got on a bike for one day but the big downhill we were taken to (down the side of a volcano) was fab; I just wish I had taken my own bike. The only downside to biking on the island would be when you hit the ground, you'd definitely know about it as the entire island is made from sharp volcanic rock.
I guess you could say we had a few drinks but oddly enough the hang-overs were minimal .... apart from the cocktail session that ended at 5.30am!Now back at home and I've been back to the lake just the once for a spot of wakeboarding. The guys gave me a different board to try out. It felt so much better than the usual board I ride but as it was the first session I've had since f*&king-up my knee and so I was too much of a pussy to go for any real jumps ... I'll try and push it next week when I hit the lake again.

In July they both wanted to be Indiana Jones. Next my oldest wanted to be Steve from Minecraft and my youngest wanted to be "something small and cute and furry." In August we watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and they were absolutely convinced they wanted to be Indiana Jones, at least until we watched Men in Black and they wanted to be, well, men in black. Then my oldest said wait, he wanted to be Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon, while my youngest began wavering between a Minecraft creeper and "something big and scary and scaly."
You guys, say it with me: Halloween-costume-related kid indecisiveness is the WORST. Cheezits, take the wheel.
Maybe you are the kind of mom who can whip out the sewing machine and put together an amazing homemade costume on October 30, but I am most definitely NOT that kind of mom. I can barely sew a button back on a shirt, and that's only if you give me like 45 minutes to squint at the needle and repeatedly lick the thread. I'm also not the kind of mom who's willing to scour the stores during the last couple days before Halloween night because Junior made the last-minute decision that he wants to be Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy instead of Emmet from The Lego Movie. Oh hell no, that is some serious bullshit right there.
This is the first year I realized I need to create some ground rules about Halloween costumes. My kids need to 1) give me enough lead time to find/assemble their costume, 2) not expect that I will magically Martha Stewart together some sort of amazing concoction that I can later sell for $200 on Etsy, and 3) commit to their choice, because if they experience a change of heart in the final hour ...
I asked my mom friends on Twitter if it sounded reasonable to give my kids Halloween costume deadlines, and most folks said they did something similar with their own families:
Definitely! This is the only way I maintain sanity about Halloween costumes. Otherwise the dithering will last until it's too late. -- @ryenerman
Yes. I also have a Do Not Discuss Until deadline of 10/1 so I don't have to listen to costume discussions in August. -- @cheriebeyond
Absolutely. Mine have an October 1st deadline. Then I can procrastinate! -- @mrafiki19
I intend to force them to choose and buy this weekend. No scramble please. -- @jibbertwit
Whew. I mean, I don't necessarily need reassurance that I'm not deploying a draconian, uncommon parenting strategy, but it's nice to have it all the time.
The problem is their ages, I think. They're well past the years when I could simply decide for them (I don't miss much about taking care of babies, but I'm not sure any Halloween experience can top the year I dressed my child like a lobster and carried him around in a cooking pot), yet they're young enough to be fickle about their choices. I get it, I really do — when you only have one day out of the year when costumes are not only allowed but actively encouraged and rewarded with bags of tooth-rotting candy, you want to get it right — but my sympathies only extend so far.
This year, I put my foot down: they had to settle on their costume decisions early enough for me to Amazon one-click my way to being free of my parental obligations without any inventory SNAFUs or shipping delays. "Are you positive," I said, hovering over the BUY button. "This is your last chance, guys." Sure enough, after the purchase was made, my 6-year-old thought maybe Harry Potter would actually be cooler than a Ghostbuster. But by then I only had one response:
Do you have to enforce Halloween costume deadlines in your house?

Our olive trees come from Montemayor, which is located in the south of spain in the province Córdoba. Young trees already have their typical and unique habit. The trees can grow even in our cold climate if you put them in flower pots. The more you live in the south, the better it is for the olive trees. The maintenance of the trees isn't difficult but you need to have an instinctive feeling for taking care of them. Also needed is a place where you can put the tree in winter.
The olive trees have been planted in a flower pot made of a half barrel. We drilled a few drainages in the bottom of the flower pots. The pot can be moved with lift trucks due to the beams beneath the pot.
Location: - warm - sunny - sheltered
Care: - avoid stagnant water - the soil shouldn't be dried out but also not to wet - you don't need to fertilize the tree but if you want to you can use fertilizer for plants in pots
Dimensions ca.: Height: 250 cm Ø Flower pot top: 105 cm Ø Flower pot bottom: 90 cm distance to the floor: 14 cm
Note: Because of the height we can't send the trees with a shipping company. Therefor the trees are available only by pick-up. Every tree grows different so the measurements are only a lead to the actual size of your tree.

The ministry at Trinitas Church is directed to a unique convergence of cultures along the Interstate 405 dividing line between North King and South Snohomish counties. On the one hand, it is home to a wealth of college students, career bound young adults, and artfully inclined individuals who work, study, and recreate in the urban center of Seattle, but make their bed in the more affordable towns of Bothell and Mill Creek. On the other hand, there are many families, young and old, who once dwelt in the city, but who migrated to the suburbs as a more desirable place to raise their children. Taken together, the Mill Creek-Bothell area is blessed with many of the virtues of urban and suburban life—high accessibility to education, the arts, lucrative jobs, family-friendly communities. But, for that very same reason, it is filled with unspoken pressures to be well-educated, successful, well-rounded, savvy to cultural trends, etc. In this respect, there is a looming sort of legalism which promises a better life through sustained human effort. As a result, the people of our community need most of all to hear the good news about the gift of rich and genuine community in the present, and of life in eternity that is given to those who have faith in Jesus Christ. Moreover, it is the mission of Trinitas Church to teach believers to rely on Christ as their great hope and comfort, rather than their accomplishments, careers, and social status by instilling patterns of worship and spiritual discipline through our weekly worship services together. In having the worship of Christ infiltrate all that we are and do, we hope to bear witness to the saving power of the Gospel to our community, and to extend redemption to the world.
In pursuing the mission to make disciples of Christ, and to nurture believers in the worship of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Trinitas Church relies on three Biblical and Historic avenues for ministry and outreach. (Click on each of the Headings below for more detailed descriptions.)
- Lord's Day Worship
- Mid-Week Discipleship (Men's and Women's Studies)
- The Great Commission

Brickworkz LEGO mosaics : Gallery : "Noah's Ark"
LEGO Mosaic: "Noah's Ark"
Click for larger version.
I was commissioned to create a LEGO mosaic with a Noah's Ark theme for the children's section of Bon Air Baptist Church's library.
The concept was in honor of a very young boy who passed away. His middle name was Noah, so they thought the theme was fitting.
After going through several ideas, I focused on the Christian children's library, and went with a cartoon look for the piece. It was intended to be a colorful and cheerful Lego mosaic that depicts the story of Noah's Ark in a fun and educational way.

Many people change their career several times during their lifetime; this is due to trying to find a career that actually matches with their interests. It can be very hard when you finish high school to know what you want to do the rest of your life as a career.
Before doing anything else you should try to figure out the things you enjoy doing as well as the things you are good at. This way you can have an idea what your major and minor interests are and hopefully be able to use these to find the courses relating to your dream job.
If you are headed to college or have decided to take up further education then you will want to try your best to fit the right combination of your major and minor in order to find the perfect job. Let's say you like working with numbers and wish to go with an Accounting, however, you also love to write and would like to have the opportunity to find job's writing. If you choose English or Professional writing as your minor, then you will have the best of both of the worlds you love. Now, you can always find employment with an accounting firm, or possibly work as an accountant with a publisher thus being able to write professional reports while keeping up with the accounting department.
What about someone that loves engineering but would rather not be out in the field? Using business as the minor with engineering as the major you may be able to find a great position working in a managerial position for an engineering firm.
Foreign languages can open up all kinds of doors if used as a minor. This way you may be able to travel to other countries or even work as a translator in your favourite industry. Visit Translation Jobs to view bilingual, multilingual and other language jobs.
Employers often look for specific skills that are coupled with skills relating to working with others. Such skills may be Architecture, Engineering and Graphic Design along with people skill minors like Communications, Public Relations and English.
Combinations that often go well together include Accounting & English, Engineering & Business, Biology & Business, English Literature & Media Studies, Science & Journalism, Pre-Law as a minor & any major, and Psychology & Criminal Justice.
Many times talking with a careers counsellor you may not find the best combination to ensure you find the perfect dream job, but if you have an idea of the type of careers that you will enjoy it would be in your best interest to learn what type of courses you need to ensure you can apply for that particular job.
The good news is you can create all kinds of combinations of majors and minors that will offer several career opportunities. Your possibilities are unlimited when you look at all the courses that are available. It just takes a bit of research to come up with the best combinations to ensure you have the chance to enjoy your dream job.

Waldo's new Kansas City Bier Co. is specializing in German brews.
The 10,000-square-foot brewery and taproom, at 310 W. 79th St., is scheduled to open at 4 p.m. today. It will offer five German-style beers on tap: Helles (a pale Munich-style lager), Dunkel (a dark Munich-style lager), Hefeweizen (a pale wheat beer), Hopfen Doof (a double Alt) and Weizenbock (a strong wheat beer). Some beers will change seasonally.
Menu items include authentic German pretzels, along with sausages and cheese plates.
Steve Holle, founder and chief executive officer of Kansas City Bier Co., grew up in south Kansas City but moved to Texas in 1992. He retired as regional director of the real estate investment office for Northwestern Mutual before moving back to his hometown to start the brewery.
Area residents had made Boulevard Brewing Co. a big success, and he figured they also would embrace a neglected beer category — locally made German-style lagers and ales.
He became interested in German beers while studying German in Germany during his junior year of college. Now a home brewer for nearly three decades, Holle has written two brewing books published by the Master Brewers Association of the Americas and has earned a diploma in brewing from the Institute of Brewing Distilling in London.
Holle is in charge of brewing operations and sales. His business partner, Juergen Hager, a native of Bavaria and friend of Holle's, also moved from Texas and is chief financial officer and tasting room manager. They now have about 35 other local investors in the brewery.
Karlton Graham is the brewer for the 30-barrel system. Most of the ingredients are imported from Germany, and the brewery will sell its beers by the glass.
Once the brewery is more established, Holle and Hager plan to roll out bottled beers for retail sale. They also plan to sell the beer to area restaurants and bars starting in March.
An outdoor beer garden will be on the east side of the building, overlooking the Harry Wiggins Trolley Track Trail. A children's play area also is planned.
"There are so many things to think about, I wake up early, and I don't get back to sleep," Holle said. "But we've had good feedback from the people who have tried the beer."Martini Corner
Barrel 31, a new bar and restaurant that will feature "whiskey and bourbon-inspired" drinks and "creative cuisine," is scheduled to open in the former Velvet Dog space this spring.
Owner Chris Ridler is remodeling the 120-year-old building at 400 E. 31st St.
"We want to be a fun casual spot that offers great food and unique cocktails," he said.
The menu includes a wide selection of tapas — deviled oysters (deviled eggs topped with fried oysters), pork belly sliders and ale cheese fondue. It also will feature sandwiches from the house-ground hamburgers on a brioche bun to the Three Pig Dip (pork belly, pulled pork and bacon). Entrees will include shepherd's pie, bone-in short rib and duck-fat-fried chicken.
Barrel 31 plans to stock about 60 varieties of whiskey and bourbons, American craft beers and a "Paper Bag Special," a random selection grabbed by the bartender and sold at a discounted price.
The top level of Barrel 31 will be available for private events and parties.
Ridler also owns Sol Cantina in Martini Corner and The Drop Bar Bistro. He also is a partner in Zócalo Mexican Cuisine Tequileria.

Earphones Quotes
Because when you put on the earphones and go to work, I guess your commitment to art is greater than your lack of commitment to each other. So you always get responsible and serious toward doing your best work from the heart with all the beauty you have within you when it's tape time. - Art Garfunkel

Alexa Danyliuk
2009-2010 AWSN Scholarship
Program: 2nd year Electronic Engineering Technology (EET), SAIT
Age: 22
Hometown: Saskatoon
Career Aspiration: "I would like to be an Electronics Engineering Technologist or maybe even go into Engineering"
Alexa did not start her education in a Science field. She spent two years at U of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon studying Sociology and Criminology. Deciding that this wasn't quite the fit for her, she worked for a year while thinking about what direction to take next. That year was a crucial turning point in her life. She got a job at a Technology firm as an electronics assembler. She worked with people who had been through the EET program at SAIT and encouraged her to take the program.
" I have always been interested in computers, electronics, and technology . I just didn't know that I could make a career of it. I didn't even know this program existed when I finished high school."
The hardest thing for Alexa when she first started the program was the reaction from the other students. She was the only female in a class of about 30 students and many of her classmates stereotyped her. Alexa did not let that discourage her, though and now she doesn't have any problems. Her instructors were very supportive and Alexa enjoys the applied approach to the program. She likes Calgary and believes there a lot of companies with good job opportunities in Calgary.
In addition to her demanding course, Alexa is also involved with the Ukrainian community dancing, volunteering at events, and graphic design. She also teaches music and enjoys cross country skiing.
SAIT offers spend -a-day workshops for high school girls in programs that are non-traditional for females. Alexa encourages girls to attend these workshops to try explore some of these careers.
"It (Science programs) can be hard, but it is worth it. Women should not be afraid."

|I collect Amazing Spider-man comics with Mark Jewelers inserts. They aren't really worth more, it just depends on who collects them and what they are worth to collectors. These comics are typically found around military bases for the soldiers to come home with a shiny ring for their SO

|pjray55 private msg quote post Address this user
|Like KM mentioned they were generally made available to military bases.
I do find that they will generate a small premium in sales but it is a niche market. But look what has happened with the newsstand variants of late so it's not to say that this niche cant have similar growth.
In addition to lower print runs with these inserts what else makes them special is condition of the book. Because they were most widely available on military bases condition of the books tends to be poorer and high grades do command a premium.
Although CGC identifies the variant on the slab label they don't differentiate the books in the pop reports which is unfortunate.
I come across National Diamond inserts less frequently than Mark Jewelers. There are also Pizzazz inserts in some bronze books but I am less familiar with those.

Two of the most tantalising potential performance cars that Ford could build right now don't seem to have much of a chance of ever entering production.
Global chief engineer of Ford Performance, Jamal Hameedi, spoke to Drive this week and rejected the idea that the brand would bother with either a pocket-rocket Fiesta RS or a high-performance version of a Ford SUV.
On the surface, both concepts should hold water, but Mr Hameedi more or less dismissed both ideas.
Of the Fiesta RS concept, Mr Hameedi said he believed the business case would be a difficult one to construct.
"We've talked about it (a Fiesta RS) a lot, and there's a debate on whether it would have a lot of customers," Mr Hameedi said.
Mr Hameedi confirmed that while some Ford Performance models still had a regional focus, new products had to be conceived with a global market front of mind.
"Certainly the hard-core guys would go for it, and it would work in Europe. But we've now prioritised projects that we think would have a more global reach."
The other concept that would seem to be waiting for the green light is a performance version of a Ford SUV.
"We're having that conversation, too," Mr Hameedi said.
But as a motorsport enthusiast and engineer, Mr Hameedi said he believed the innate traits of an SUV and the aims of a performance vehicle were somewhat at odds.
"Personally, I'm leaning toward the purists' side; there are other projects I would rather do."
SUV drivers looking for a bit more driver involvement, not to mention other brands which have already taken up the hot-SUV challenge, would probably disagree.
But it seems the best we can hope for is a watered-down SUV with some performance aspirations.
"I think there's probably a market for an ST (rather than RS) cross-over," Mr Hameedi conceded.

Furniture – Finding the right Pieces
Furniture refers collectively to objects that support people in everyday activities – when people work, eat and sleep. Some of the items are designed at different heights to make it comfortable for users to work, sit or even store things.
When one thinks of furniture, sofas and dining sets come to mind. Many other pieces fall under the category of furniture as well – what are the different pieces that one can find in a furniture store? Depending on the size and the location of the store, one can expect to find the following essential pieces that make living and related activities comfortable.
- Seating: There are so many to choose from, depending on the setting. Chairs and sofas come in all shapes and sizes. The most essential items are chairs for the dining area and sofas for the living room. One can choose from other seating options like bean bags, chaise lounges, sofa-ottoman combinations, recliners, bar stools, wingback chairs etc. Benches and couches offer seating options for more than one person.
- Tables: Tables are necessary as well as they offer space to work on. Dining tables, study desks, drawing boards, coffee and end tables are some options. These are available in different materials, shapes and sizes depending on one's needs. Tables can be used for decorative purposes too – in an entryway to display photos, floral arrangements and other knick knacks.
- Sleeping: As far as bedroom furniture is concerned, the choices are a bit more limited. For young children, cribs are the way to go. Cribs have railings which keep the child safe. Other choices are daybeds, full, queen and king size beds. Futons and sofa beds work well for people who live in apartments or a small house and need extra sleeping options. There are many choices in mattresses as well – prices vary.
- Storage: Storage space is essential in every home, for all kinds of items. For families with children, there will always be a need for items such as bookcases, chest of drawers, dressers, nightstands, armoires and ottomans with built in storage. Storage space in the kitchen is essential as well – this is one area of the house where people spend a lot of time. Hutches and baker's racks work well by offering up space to store items that are necessary but not used on a regular basis. A chest of drawers or hope chest supplement storage in bedrooms – clothes and other necessities can be put away.
There are many furniture stores atlanta, GA where sets for every room in the house are available for perusal and purchase. Almost all of these stores offer loans to help people buy what they need. These stores usually carry mattresses as well, but there are specialized Mattress stores as well – check out www.abfmarietta.com to see what sales and savings are being offered.

According to the report, the Danish economy shows clear signs of improvement following the global financial crisis. The report entitled 'Winter 2014 forecast' predicts that Danish gross domestic product (GDP) will increase from 0.3 percent growth in 2013 to 1.7 percent in 2014 and 1.8 percent in 2015. According to the report, consumer confidence has improved significantly since last summer, house prices have stabilised and even increased in the largest cities, interest rates are low and there have been early signs of improvement in the labour market. The report predicts a 0.5 percent increase in employment in 2014, as well as 2015, while unemployment figures are expected to fall from 7.0 to 6.9 percent in 2014 and to 6.7 percent in 2015. The European Commission's consumer survey shows that consumers have become more optimistic with regard to future developments in the labour market, with a majority now expecting falling unemployment over the next 12 months. Compared to consumers in other EU countries, Danes have been the most optimistic over the last eight months. Here is the full economic forecast for Denmark by the EU Commission

DEERFIELD BEACH -- City commissioners, acting against the advice of their attorney, agreed on Tuesday to accept a city resident's gift of engineering drawings for two beachside parking lots.
Resident Lee Robinson gave commissioners plans for the redesign of an existing parking lot in the 300 block of Northeast 21st Avenue and the design of a planned lot across from the beach on State Road A1A. He said he was dissatisfied with engineering work done by the city's engineer.
The lot on Northeast 21st Avenue has been the subject of controversy since city officials first proposed plans to install meters there in January.
Robinson told officials that a design proposed by City Engineer Dale Holinbeck was not acceptable because people parking in the lot would be forced to back out onto busy State Road A1A.
Robinson, who said he used his own money to pay an engineer to draw the plans, also submitted plans to build a parking lot on A1A property that the city bought with a $4.5 million bond issue. He said the construction schedule for the lot was too slow.
According to the schedule submitted by Holinbeck, design work for that lot would not be completed until May.
City Attorney Andrew Maurodis earlier had advised commissioners not to accept Robinson's engineering plans because the city would not be complying with the state Consultant's Competitive Negotiating Act, which has certain requirements for hiring engineers for government projects.
In other action, city commissioners voted to place meters on half the spaces of the lot at 312 NE 21st Ave.

All of the relactation stories I have previously shared refer to anecdotal experiences of the moms, wet nurses or the lactation counselor. For this guest post, I will be sharing the story of Lan Perez. As with Donna, Lan successfully transitioned from pure formula feeding to pure breastfeeding.
While Donna shared her own experience, Lan has not only written a step by step guide but she has also painstakingly enumerated the characteristics and traits necessary for a mom to successfully relactate. Let me emphasize – while relactation is possible, it is not easy and the mom must be willing to throw away that bottle, be humble to accept help and milk from other mothers and be open to to change her lifestyle.
Yes, relactation is a miracle but it is not magic that can be done with a snap of your fingers. Lan shares with us her journey and I hope this will not only inspire fellow moms but will also clarify questions or doubts about relactation. Click this link to read more about my previous posts on relactation.
I'm Lan Perez, mother to two wonderful kids. My daughter, Andre, is now 5 years old and was never breastfed. My son, 3-month-old Jaden, was initially mixed-fed then exclusively formula-fed. Now he is exclusively breastfeeding. This is my relactation story.
I was 24 when I gave birth to my eldest. As first time parents, hubby and I were really excited to welcome the first baby in our family (she was, after all, the firstborn and first grandchild). We bought everything we believed she would need when she came out. I thought I was prepared, but I was wrong—I didn't know a thing about parenting. I was exhausted, and I experienced post-partum depression.
When Andre was two days old, the hospital nurse called me to breastfeed my baby. When I reached the nursery, she handed me my baby and told me to breastfeed. I got scared, really scared. Baby Andre cried and I was clueless on how to comfort her. My first breastfeeding encounter was a disaster. I failed to breastfeed her because of lack of knowledge and support. Formula milk became her source of food from that day until she was 3 years old. I didn't feel any guilt because I thought I was doing the right thing and it didn't harm her.
|#TBT – Jaden formula feeding
Five years after, our son Jaden came. I still thought formula milk was the best for him—until I discovered Breastfeeding Pinays, an online support group in Facebook. Reading post after post, I realized that I should not give formula milk to Jaden. But even though I became aware of the consequences of giving formula, I still proceeded with the "common practice" of feeding babies—formula feeding.
Six days after giving birth to Jaden, my breasts got engorged. It was very painful and my husband bought me a pump to relieve me of my engorgement. I was really excited to see "my milk" for the very first time. But then I suffered from severe nipple soreness and blisters because my latch and position were wrong. Due to lack of information and support, I decided to stop and gave in to formula feeding again.
I felt really bad every time I visited and read the FB forum. I envied those moms who exclusively breastfeed their babies. On Jaden's second month, he got colds and flu. I got really scared because he was too young to get sick. Then I remembered reading a post in Breastfeeding Pinays that formula milk does not contain antibodies to help baby fight bacteria and viruses. That was my turning point. That was the day I decided I will breastfeed by all means possible.
Last July 25, 2013, I contacted Ms. Velvet Roxas to help me with my relactation. I was very hesitant at first but I mustered all the courage I had and I did it. I was really determined to breastfeed and I needed an expert to help me in my transition from pure formula feeding to exclusive breastfeeding. I was surprised when she replied and the next day I met with her during one of the Breastfeeding Pinays regular Friday meet-ups.
|cupfeeding Jaden with breastmilk
When I entered Arugaan Daycare/Creche early the next day, I was taken aback when I learned that infant formula and bottles were not allowed inside the premises. I was at a loss on what to do. What will I feed my baby while inside? Jaden cried, demanding for his bottle of formula. I was so clueless that I just handed him to one of the staff, a wet nurse named Nanay Mhelit. He immediately latched on to her without any hesitation. I was so relieved. Though it was the first time I met the Arugaan wet nurses, my purely formula-fed baby didn't have a hard time latching on his "nanay sa suso." Everyone got very excited since a bottle-fed baby is not used to suckling from the breast. They are usually lazy and wait for the milk to come out from the bottle. They encouraged me and told me "ang galing ng anak mo!" Upon hearing those positive words, I became more inspired and determined that I could do it. I can really breastfeed.
That same day, two-month-old baby Michael (son of wet nurse Rosalie) latched on to me. He didn't cry and so we figured I still got milk. Though I couldn't see it coming out from my breasts, I was positive I had milk. Breastfeeding is 90% psychological and 10% physical. I told myself "may gatas ako, super dami kong gatas!"
When I entered the door of Arugaan, my baby took pure formula – no breastmilk at all. When I left Arugaan that same day, he was taking pure breastmilk. My relactation journey was difficult and there were so many bumps on the road. But I persevered and continued because I knew that I am doing this for my baby.
If you are thinking of relactating, here are the things you should consider before you can start with your RELACTATION.
1. Determination
101% determination is the key. The relactation process is not easy. It takes a lot of guts. Hindi pwede dito ang "Try Lang." If you think this way, think again because it would be difficult to succeed. The effort and time of the mentors, supporters, breastmilk donors, wet nurses and counselors who are willing to help you will just be put to waste. Give the precious opportunity to other mothers who are more determined and more willing.
|A visit from fellow BFP Arianne and Nanay Rich
2. Dedication
There will be lots of changes once you start the relactation process. It will not be as easy as 123 or ABC. Your patience will also be tested. Your character will be tested. Be ready for the challenges ahead.
3. Faith
During my struggle while still establishing my milk supply, I held on to God. I remember crying so hard while praying, asking God to bless my breasts with overflowing milk. Breastmilk is a gift from God. It's the natural form of nurturing our little ones. Don't ever doubt yourself and your milk. Be positive at all times. I saw two grandmothers who relactated for their apo and they succeeded. I even heard about an adoptive mom who breastfeeds. Tayo pa kaya na nanganak! You may also chant…"May Gatas ako, Maraming akong Gatas!"
If you think you have the determination, the dedication and the faith, then you may proceed with relactation.
The following are the steps I took to go from pure formula to pure breastmilk in one minute. Direct exclusive breastfeeding may be achieved within 14 days. Some moms may take shorter or longer—I hope my list will be a big help to them.
1. Ask HELP from a reliable and experienced resource person with expertise in breastfeeding.
My relactation mentors were Ms. Velvet Roxas and Nanay Ines Fernandez of Arugaan. These two moms are the best people to consult because they are the "Mothers of Breastfeeding" in the country. I feel so blessed and lucky that I was under their motherly care.
2. Listen and follow your mentors' instructions, no ifs and no buts.
All instructions must be followed to the last detail. Put aside your stubbornness. Bawal ang matigas ulo, kapag hindi ka sumunod, lagot ka sa mentors for sure. Instead na mapabilis ang relactation mo, baka lalo pang tumagal. I had to spend time in Arugaan to learn how to carry a breastfed baby. This was the first step because holding a bottle-fed baby is stiff compared to the intimacy of holding a breastfeeding baby.
3. Ditch the formula and feeding bottles or teats.
Yes, simply throw it. If you don't have formula milk or baby bottles, you won't have any choice but to breastfeed. I know it's nerve-wracking but it's one of the critical steps. Bottle-fed babies are nipple confused and prefer the fast flow of the teats. During those days when baby Jaden was still learning to latch and I was still waiting to stabilize my milk supply, we practiced drip drop feeding and cup-feeding at home. No bottles and teats were used as soon as I started with my mentoring. We never had formula, too. I had a steady supply of donor's breastmilk and the wet nurses helped me.
4. Consult a pedia/lactation consultant.
It would be great if you can see a doctor/pedia/lactation consultant once you start relactating. Ms. Velvet advised me to see a pedia/lactation consultant because minimal weight loss is usually expected. If I go to an unsupportive doctor then that doctor might tell me that my milk is not sufficient. I went to see the pedia a week after I started my relactation process. She prescribed me some medications and advised me to hand-express or to pump to help increase my milk production.
5. Hire a wet nurse.
The best thing to do is do "switch nursing." I am so very grateful to the wet nurses of Arugaan. They practically saved my life during my journey. Since my milk was not yet stable then, I needed their help to feed my baby. Switch/cross nursing did wonders for my supply too. I breastfed the wet nurse's baby and the wet nurse fed my baby Jaden. Through this, my breasts were triggered to produce milk. Since the wet nurse's baby was a breastfed baby from day 1, his sucking skills were incredible.
6. Lactation Massage
I have had three lactation massages already and I assure you that those felt really good! Nanay Rich played a very important role to my success—not only through her hands but also through her prayers. The massage will help clear clogged ducts and make us more relaxed so we can produce more milk. Happy thoughts will also help a lot.
7. Balanced Diet and Lactation Supplements
Malunggay is a galactagogue, the fresher the better. Gata, spinach and saluyot are also effective in boosting my milk supply. And for my indulgence, I love brownies from Mommy Treats and assorted pastries of Mama Chow. To help me relax, I take Sacred Nursing Tea of Breastfeeding and Beyond. But most importantly, I keep myself hydrated at all times.
|Learning more about breastfeeding
8. Find Support.
Relactation is difficult but it is possible. I am a testament to that. It's best that you have support from your family, most especially your husband. During the first few days, my husband was not supportive at all because he lacked the knowledge. But I told him, "pinagbigyan kita ng formula noon, ngayon naman pagbigyan mo ako sa breastfeeding." I was deaf to his pleas to succumb to bottle-feeding. Jaden is my baby too and I will breastfeed whether he liked it or not. I literally dragged him to a breastfeeding class with LATCH. Instantly, he became an advocate. He is now more supportive than ever. He told me that our baby now smells like a 'real' baby.
I remember feeling so down that I almost gave up on the second week of my relactation. I was successful because I had one barangayful of supporters: Arugaan, Breastfeeding Pinays Friday Meet-up Group, Donna (who also relactated), and yaya Emma.
I am now back to work. I am still expressing milk for my baby. My baby is cup-fed with my breastmilk when I am in the office. He breastfeeds directly whenever I am around. In my small way I want to pay it forward. And may my story inspire a mom out there.

Cryopreservation of animal oocytes and embryos: current progress and future prospects
Mandawala, A., Harvey, S.C., Roy, T. and Fowler, K. (2016) Cryopreservation of animal oocytes and embryos: current progress and future prospects. Theriogenology, 86 (7). pp. 1637-1644. ISSN 0093-691X.

Cryopreservation describes techniques that permit freezing and subsequent warming of biological samples without loss of viability. The application of cryopreservation in assisted reproductive technology encompasses the freezing of gametes, embryos and primordial germ cells. Whilst some protocols still rely on slow-freezing techniques, most now use vitrification, or ultra-rapid freezing, for both oocytes and embryos due to an associated decreased risk of damage caused by the lack of ice crystal formation, unlike in slow-freezing techniques. Vitrification has demonstrated its use in many applications, not only following in vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedures in human embryology clinics, but also following in vitro production (IVP) of embryos in agriculturally important, or endangered animal species, prior to embryo transfer. Here we review the various cryopreservation and vitrification technologies that are used in both humans and other animals and discuss the most recent innovations in vitrification with a particular emphasis on their applicability to animal embryology.

So we should not be like other people who are sleeping, but we should be alert and have self-control.
–1 Thessalonians 5:6 NCV
God's people are called to be wise, while redeeming the time by providing a good example for others. Fulfilling God's divine plan for your life requires you to be alert and self-controlled. Every day provides occasions to glorify God and point the way to others with the hope you have in Christ—so stay alert to the opportunities that God brings your way.
You have been gifted and equipped by God to fulfill a unique purpose at this time in history. Always remember that God's wisdom and power is not hindered by your human limitations. Remain confident that when you are weak, God's strength can be revealed in and through you. He uses imperfect vessels to bring about His will on the earth, so be diligent and wise when investing your time, talents, and resources.
When you're alert to what God is doing, you will recognize the opportune time to do His will. You can revive weary souls with the truth of His word and pray in faith believing for miracles that only God can provide. Faithfully fan the flame of God's Spirit within and let your life be guided by faith, hope, and love.
Prayer Focus
- Pray for God's wisdom and direction when it comes to investing your time, talents, and resources.
- Ask God to help you be self-controlled and alert to what He's doing, so you'll recognize the opportune time to do His will.

Well, the catamaran cruise and the chef's table were only scheduled one day a week and they happened to be on the same day. So we readied ourselves for the busiest day of the trip so far (because it required us to actually go somewhere besides the beach and look presentable).
The wind had really picked up on our side of the island late Tuesday, so the waves in the bay were looking a little more, um, menacing than usual on Wednesday. We found out later that the resort had actually cancelled the cruise but then decided to give it a go anyway (bad decision, concierge!). I don't want to go into too much detail, but needless to say - 42-foot catamaran + 12-foot waves = feeling like I was going to die. We likened it to waves from The Perfect Storm. You could see them coming but there wasn't anything you could do to avoid them.
(Image from The Perfect Storm)
Ok, so it wasn't really that bad. But it was still really choppy, and I was shaking by the end of it and I'm pretty sure I was on the verge of breaking Steve's hand. Thankfully once we turned back toward the resort it was smooth...which led to 3 of the 6 of us feeling seasick and wanting to hurry along home. No one ate the appetizers or drank the champagne, wine or beer that the resort had put on board for us. Sad.
So Steve and I were worried at that point about whether we'd be ready to eat and drink at the chef's table 30 minutes after getting off the boat ride from hell. Since we had gotten drenched on the boat, we had to race back to the hotel room and shower (for that whole looking presentable thing). Felt much better after that.
Good thing. Because what was supposed to just be a six-course meal turned into an eight-course meal. Usually when you have multi-course meals, the courses tend to be smaller. Not on Anguilla, apparently. Three of the courses the chef served were normal entree size. And the wine pairings? Not smaller pours. Full glasses of wine.
Course 1 was a Spiced Ginger Rum and Blood Orange Martini. Not my favorite - they lined the rim of the glass with cinnamon and sugar and it evoked memories of pumpkin pie. And I wasn't crazy either - another girl said that too. Steve liked his though.
Course 2 was a small serving (thank goodness) of creamy potato puree topped with caviar and fresh microgreens. Really really yummy. Steve thought the puree should have been creamier and not quite as lumpy, but I thought it was delicious. The puree was a perfect bed for the very slight salty flavor of the caviar.
Course 3 was a roasted sea scallop salad with vegetables and tomato sauce and ohmygosh was this amazing. This was the first of the entree-sized portions and I would have been so happy if that had been it. The scallops were beautifully golden and plump and the vegetables (being from the hydroponic farm) were so fresh and delicious. The sommelier paired this course with a sauvignon blanc - one that Steve and I had already had on several occasions at the hotel bar. Nice and crisp and perfect for serving with seafood.
Course 4 was a palate cleanser - ice and armagnac. I thought it was waaaaay too heavy on the armagnac, but most of the other people loved it. Steve ate all of his. Mine melted in its little bowl. At this point, although, I was already starting to feel slightly full.
Course 5 was by far the best. It was Anguillian-style roasted whole snapper on a bed of risotto with cherry tomatoes. This one was the most universal crowd pleaser and multiple people kept wanting to ask for the recipe (I was lucky enough to get it at our cooking lesson two days later). The snapper was so tender and delicious. It was basted in its own juices and fish stock and roasted with vegetables. Home freaking run. And the risotto was made with the leftover juices and stock. Amazing. This course was paired with a white rioja - a little on the heavier side, perfect for the heavier dish.
Side note: Everyone was pretty much stuffed and getting slightly tipsy at this point. Did that stop anyone? Of course not.
Course 6 was a duck breast pot au feu served with szechuan pepper and vegetable tempura. The duck was my least favorite thing of the evening - there just wasn't anything special about it. The broth, however, was like nectar from the gods. It had little szechuan flowers that many people, including Steve, ate and then regretted later - lots of stinging lips at the table. This one came with a gigondas red wine - really delicious. The broth and the wine battled it out for my favorite part of the course.
Course 7 was a dark chocolate coconut bar served with a mango puree and chopped pistachios. At this point, I was beyond stuffed. So I only tried the chocolate coconut bar. The coconut-chocolate pairing was a good balance, but it had some ice cream in it and that was the killer for me. Too heavy. Steve devoured his though, and he's not even a big coconut person.
Course 8 was the dessert that was actually listed on the menu. Because no, the coconut bar was NOT on the menu. It was one of the extra courses. But course 8 was a strawberry tiramisu and it was ENORMOUS. It was served with an espuma of red berries, which was almost like a berry foam around the tiramisu. The dessert was good and tasted REALLY fresh, but at that point most people were really slowing down. On top of that, the wine paired with this course was a sauternes - dessert wine (obviously). I'm not a dessert wine person, so I handed mine over to Steve. Plus at that point I was fairly tipsy from all the other wine.
As we were finishing dessert, Chef Daniel sat down at the table with us and chatted, which was fun. Got to ask him all sorts of questions about cooking and his past and all that. I was at the other end of the table, so I didn't get to hear everything that went on. Plus I was in a food coma.
Overall, an awesome experience. Food was delicious and I can't wait to try making the snapper and risotto. More on that recipe later!

Peter Paul Fortress is the oldest compound/series of buildings in Saint Petersburg. Saint Petersburg only became the city it is because of Peter the Great (June 1622-February 1725). Before most of the Russian people and royalty lived and hid in Moscow. Most Europeans didn't go to Moscow, and most Muscovites didn't leave Russia. All that changed with the creation of Saint Petersburg.
This was a tourist booth, that had two black cats sitting outside of it. The black/red/white stripes signify something. This was the second set of cats that I saw at the fortress.
The photos are out of order for some reason. I thought this was the first image I took. This is the entrance to the fortress somewhere. That's the Russian symbol, and some images of a religious experience or something.
So here is a longer shot of the cats. So the snow is starting to melt a little, but then it would freeze at night. So it was a bit slippery. A lady fell and she was older and okay.
So here is the symbol and the wall thing.
I would like to think that these sculptures (larger than life, my life at least) I would like to assume is of the goddess of wisdom and plenty. Athena and Hera probably. They were huge and impressive. Also I couldn't climb up to get my picture with them.
Athena, Hera, or something like that.
This is like a panorama from the Fortress. We were freezing, and I was trying to get some nice pictures. I had to shuffle out there and not slip and break my leg.
So there you can see, some of the fortress, the bridge and the frozen Neva. The river is pretty darn frozen.
This is a another shot. Apparently in the 1850s the river flooded into the fortress. Though you would think something like that would happen more frequently. Especially since it floods in Oregon constantly. The flag is of some significance because it is to honor both Naval and Land soldiers.
Here is where I kind of almost peed my pants. I don't know if you can see the gun to the left of the photo, maybe you can't but I am telling you it's there. Well apparently they shoot the gun off frequently. In the history of the fortress the cannon(s) have gone off at noon regularly. Then they would shoot off on arrival of dignitary, death, birth and whatever else they thought was a good reason to fire it off. Then around 1936 they stopped the daily noon time boom, long enough to stop before WWII.
Okay, here it is the giant gun. It's a land to air missile launcher, and it was so loud I clutched the stroller that Loki was sitting in and cried out because I didn't think it was as loud as it was going to be. Because I thought fourth of July boom shell, and they bring it. Also I remember there being a huge kick back and people being up along the ramparts(?).
I will conclude the post with a video of the gun being shot off : Peter Paul fortress Gun please enjoy the car alarms.
