So who is my favorite character in Winnie the Pooh?!?! Piglet of course. I don't remember why Piglet is my favorite, but I do remember that I used Piglet in my very first screen name, long long ago in my childhood, I think the the days of Prodigy.
So onto the fun Piglet nails.
The polishes I used in this mani are Essie Cascade Cool and Essie Secret Stash. Secret Stash is a bit of a crelly, took three coats to get to this opacity, Cacade Cool only needed two for the Piglet face accent.
I used a stripping brush to make the stripes with Cascade Cool, and I was inspired by this manicure I found online for the face. I used a finer nail art brush and a black stamping polish to make the detail on I wish I could say I was that creative, but well, I'm not.
Anyway, this was a pretty fun nail art prompt! What do you think of this look? Do you like?
And don't forget to check out the other ladies taking part in the challenge!

In the past few years, I have lost quite a few of my aunts and uncles—on both my mom and dad's side of the family. None of these people were old. Early sixties. Having seen death visit my family so closely and frequently, the person inside of me feels guarded; the philosopher, emotional around words.
When I was in India in the month of August, my mausa (Mom's sister's husband) fell sick. So much so that he was in the ICU, and his children from California and India visited him. First people didn't have the faith but then mausa showed progress and promised to be around. He started to do better. I visited him in the hospital in New Delhi. We spoke for a couple of minutes. But 48 hours later, on the day I left for NYC, he passed away. Death and destiny do not knock before entering, do they?
I didn't find out about my mausa's demise until after I reached New York. My husband, who had come to the airport to pick me up, shared the news. I called up my parents but couldn't wrap my brains around what had happened. Numb. Shocked. Scared. Heartbroken. I couldn't cry or eat properly or fight off the uneasiness.
My mausi (Mom's sister) passed away two years ago. I have mentioned her influence over my writerly-life in my blogs and interviews. My mausa would appreciate my work too. He would print out my blog posts and discuss them with my parents over whisky and wine. He told them how proud he was of me. Every time I saw my mausa, he would bring up my blogs and quote lines from them.
I saved every email my mausa sent me—especially his response to anything I ever wrote about his wife (my mausi) in. In one of his notes, he said, "My dear Sweta, I owe to you to keep alive Memories of Meena. An excellent attempt to heal the wound. Thank you, only you could achieve this belief."
Death of a dear one makes us selfish. Last week as I sent out links to my blog post (Updates on "Perfectly Untraditional") and pictures from the Indian book tour, I marked my mausa a copy on the email. I didn't even think or didn't want to think, I am not sure, that he wouldn't be able to read them. Or that I wouldn't get a reply… from him.
For me, that was the day I felt my loss…the magnitude of it, anyway. I felt a vacuum, broke down, and said to my husband, "I have no mausi-mausa left. Their house, my childhood memories with them, and the precious relationship will be part of anecdotes at family gatherings. A closed chapter."
My family is very close—we don't care about how we are related to one another. Second cousins, third cousins. I am not saying we are perfect—but we are temperamental fools with big hearts who will do anything for the people we love.
I mentioned in last week's post the support the whole bunch showed for my book launch in New Delhi and readings in other cities. I can't even begin to tell you how much moral, emotional, and physical support everybody extends when sickness or death happens in the family. It's almost unreal.
But when you are vulnerable and emotionally unsettled, the mind explores thoughts you normally wouldn't turn to. I said to my husband, "Sometimes I envy parents and children who are in symbiotic relationships—parents give birth and bring up their kids—because of that, once the same children are older, they do what is morally appropriate and socially expected. Basically, the sense of duty keeps the relationship afloat. But there is no affection or emotion—just pragmatism. At least such people can deal with loss, pain, and heartbreaks a lot easily."
My husband said, "You don't mean that. You are saying this only because you are upset." He was right. Later on when I calmed down and thought about what I had said, I cringed. I would be nothing without my family and friends.
Honestly, I pity detached families. What can be more unfortunate than feeling only a sense of responsibility towards your parents or ownership towards your children? That's what charity and work are for, not family. No desire to spend weeks together, chew each other's brains, participate in each other's lives or even pick up the phone and chat/fight? What's sadder than a parent-child relationship with no emotional connection? I know I would die if I were cursed with one. Relationships make us who we are.
There is a reason pretty much the entire city showed up at my mausa's cremation. He was a good man, revered by most. It's the emotional bond that has created this blog post. And it's the relationship we shared because of which I will continue writing to him. I am not ready to give up yet. And one day, when his mailbox is full, the emails will begin to bounce back. And I am not sure if even that day I will stop. Sometimes the dead are a lot more precious than those alive.
More until next time,

Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer at the US Open in four enthralling sets to win his third Grand Slam title of the year and tenth in all. In doing so, he becomes the eighth man to join that elusive club of ten major titles and is just the third man to reach all four major finals in the same year.
With all the focus on Serena Williams during the two weeks at Flushing Meadows and whether or not she could complete a historic calendar Grand Slam, Novak Djokovic's season was somewhat overshadowed. He had already won the Australian Open and Wimbledon, reached the French Open final and won a further four Masters 1000 titles. An outstanding season already, with plenty left to play, he constructed a masterful defensive performance against a rampant Federer, who was yet to drop a set and had only dropped serve twice thus far.
One match too far for Federer
Federer was aiming to elevate himself further ahead of his fellow greats with an unprecedented eighteenth major title, and a first in three years. But it had a similar feel to his previous two previous final appearances at Wimbledon, also against Djokovic. He was the man in form, possibly playing the best tennis of his life, which at 34 years of age is a quite remarkable feat. But much like Wimbledon, he peaked in the semi-final and just couldn't quite hit those heights again, particularly on his serve.

Despite the match lasting nearly four hours, this was mainly due to the length of the points and the number of times each game went the distance. Federer, in particular, was very quick to get on to the next point, and it was non-stop action throughout. Djokovic to his credit, slipped and fell hard early on, grazing numerous body parts, but only stopped to wipe himself down before carrying on like the fighter he is.
Federer hit the heights of his semi-final against Wawrinka in the second set, as he found his rhythm on serve and constantly threatened the World No.1's serve. He started the third set in much the same vain and had break chances early on, didn't convert and was subsequently broken. In fact, this was the case for the rest of the match as Federer had double break point on numerous occasions along with other break points but just couldn't convert enough of them. The Swiss maestro had 23 break points but could only convert four of them, including only one out of eleven on the second serve of Djokovic.
These kind of matches are always won on the big points and if Federer had taken more of his big points, this clash could have turned in his favour and he could have even won it in four sets himself. But credit where credit is due for Federer. At 34 years old, he has completely reinvented himself into an attacking player who can hurt absolutely anyone. He can beat Djokovic, it just wasn't to be his day, but expect him to finish the year strongly and don't be surprised if he cleans up in Paris, Shanghai and London. In reaching his first final in New York for six years, he further cements his spot as the World No.2 over Andy Murray after another disappointing Grand Slam for him.
Tenacious Djokovic powers though
The mental strength shown by Djokovic throughout the match was unlike anything ever seen before in a major final. The match had a Davis Cup feel to it and it was as if Federer was back home in Basel as the crowd erupted on every point won by Federer, and even every point squandered by Djokovic. A first serve wide, long or into the net from Djokovic received huge applause, no matter what the score was at the time and that was utterly disrespectful to a phenomenal athlete and multiple Grand Slam champion.
The new, ultra-offensive Federer was diffused many times by Djokovic. The Serb was clearly unsettled by Federer's tactic to use the 'SABR' but Djokovic quickly discovered how to nullify it with two tremendous lobs in succession. Unsurprisingly, we didn't see the 'SABR' again until late on in the match. Djokovic himself switched to a more offensive style which worked a treat. The depth on his groundstrokes was extraordinary as always and something that doesn't allow Federer to play his regular game of standing right on the baseline, simply because the ball would be at his feet more often than not in the long rallies.
How far can the Serb reach?
Djokovic will remain firm favourite for each and every Grand Slam next year, including his personal favourite, the Australian Open in January. A win there would take him to 11 major titles and put him alongside the greats of Rod Laver and Björn Borg. He will feel extremely hard done by if he doesn't win the French Open at some point in his career, much like Federer would have done if he didn't and there's no real doubt he will win it at some point. If he was to win the opening two Grand Slams of 2016, he would complete the collection and achieve the career Grand Slam, as well as creating his own unique bit of history by holding all four majors at the same time in what I can only imagine would be named the 'Novak Slam.'
For the second time in his career, he has won three out of the four majors in the same year, a feat he also managed in 2011, and that is something Federer managed to do an impressive three times in his career. Federer, though, had achieved that by the age of 26 and at 28, the same age as Djokovic, he had acquired 15 major titles, five more than Djokovic currently owns. At that stage though, many were writing off the Swiss as they felt he was lucky to overtake Pete Sampras, largely to the temporary demise of Rafael Nadal at the right moment, allowed Federer to collect more majors against arguably lesser opposition. Not many saw Federer adding two more to that tally, though.
But having just had a stellar year, at 28, Djokovic is by no means on his way out. In his 29th year, Federer was no longer favourite for the Slams, Djokovic will be. But in order to overtake more of the tennis greats, Djokovic must remain injury-free, which he has somehow managed to do throughout his career, despite the punishing style of play he enforces upon himself. The World No.1 clearly looks after himself extremely well. But to win eight more majors and overtake Federer, is a huge ask. He's won eight majors in the last four years, so even if he were to play at the highest level for the next four years, winning eight majors in that time would be some feat.
There are lots of new challengers appearing and not to forget the old guard. Federer looks as though he will keep reaching the latter stages of the majors more often than not. Andy Murray is very consistent, and you can never rule out a comeback from 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal. Roland Garros is his second home and having won an incredible nine times there already, don't be surprised if he makes that double figures.
Then you've got the other major winners, Marin Cilic, Stan Wawrinka and even perhaps a return for Juan Martin del Potro at some point. As for the new breed, Kei Nishikori reached last year's US Open final, big servers Milos Raonic and Kevin Anderson are constantly adding new aspects to their game to add to their monstrous serves. Grigor Dimitrov will hope to find himself again in 2016 and Borna Coric is certainly one to watch out for.
One thing that all of those players have in common is inconsistency, though. Perhaps it's wrong to even try and compare their consistency to the likes of Federer, Djokovic, Nadal and Murray though. That is an unrivalled era where those players always got to the back end of the big tournaments, and that level of consistency from four players is unlikely ever to be matched.

Palmer and I have been home alone since Tuesday morning when Mitch left for work out of town, so it kind of seems like this whole week has been one long weekend for us. But, it is officially over as I head back to work tomorrow for my second last week before this baby arrives.
Palmer and I managed to keep ourselves busy during the days, arranging play dates and outings, but the evenings were a different story. Trying to entertain a toddler ALL. DAY. LONG. is much more difficult with just one parent! And when a 2.5 year old decides she doesn't need a nap today, the count down to bedtime can't come quick enough!
Friday we kept it pretty low key. We met up with a girlfriend and her baby for lunch then walked down the street to the cutest little bakery where we indulged in some mini cupcakes. We did a little running around and we both had a short rest in the afternoon (Ok, Palmer napped while I enjoyed a Starbucks). In the evening, Grandpa (Mitchell's dad) came over and took Palmer to the park for awhile, giving me a short rest time, which I happily took!
That evening, I some how managed to convince Palmer it was a good idea to head out and take some pictures "like Scarlett's mommy did." which she fell for after I said that! I am happy with how some of them turned out. I have been trying to practice a little more with different settings on my camera. (my next purchase will be a 50mm lens.)
Saturday morning was looking like a beautiful day, so we headed out to the Petting Zoo at Lethbridge Corn Maze. It was surprisingly busy, but it a great day for it. Palmer absolutely loved feeding all the animals. She loved the baby goats and could have just sat there with them all day had I let her!
Saturday afternoon we both happily took a much needed nap and went to visit family. Mitchell's aunt flew in from Ontario and his sister came from Calgary so we went to Nan and Grandpa's house for a quick visit.
Sunday was again pretty low key, but I'm ok with that since it's back to "real life" (aka not having 9 days off work and single parenting) tomorrow. I'm hoping this week flys by though, it's my second last week of work before this next little munchkin arrives and there are a few things I would like to do before then, like head up to the Zoo since we weren't able to make it there last weekend due to the rain!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

smoothie breakfast!
pink - banana, mango juice, apple, kiwi, raspberries
light green - banana, mango juice, apple, kiwi
yellow - banana, mango juice, apple
dark green - 2 leaves kale, 1/2 apple, 1 kiwi (so good!)
I didn't make them all separately...I made the kale one then made the "yellow" one, added kiwi to make "light green" and then added raspberries to make "pink."
I received these vintage juice glasses at my bridal shower from a friend in California. I love them - they are one of my favorite gifts (and they are one of the only gifts we have in our apartment, everything else went into storage until we have a house better suited for displaying cute things).

Native Vermonter and Vietnam War veteran Pete Laframboise of New Haven has had a long affinity for things with wings. The 62-year-old private pilot got a real taste for flying as a gunner aboard a Huey helicopter in Southeast Asia during the 1960s. Later, he learned to fly at the Middlebury State Airport. And now with more than 30 years of VFR (visual flight rules) flying experience under his belt, Laframboise has completed the dazzling task of building a first-class experimental aircraft called the RV-7A.
Classified as "experimental," a new class of civilian sport planes came on strong in the private aviation market starting in the 1980s. By the 1990s, homebuilders could purchase planes as kits, building and paying for sections as they go - everything from gyrocopters to private jets.
"I was attracted to the experimental RV-7A manufactured by Van's Aircraft; it's the most popular kit plane on the market," he said. "It's fast, very sleek, and ideal for aerobatics."
Lamframboise began building the highly aerodynamic RV-7A in the basement of his New Haven home in early 2006. Crates arrived over the span of a year as the pilot began the tedious assembly process. He taught himself how to read aircraft blueprints and even rivet aluminum to complete the airplane.
"When the plane got to be almost too big to fit through the door of my basement," he said. "I moved it to my garage. Once the fuselage and tail assembly was complete, I moved everything to the Middlebury Airport."
Laframboise encountered some technical roadblocks. However, he found virtual friends on a Van's Internet forum who were also building their own "X-planes" (not to be confused with the USAF's and NASA's storied series of research X-planes). Bloggers shared their tricks and secrets. Before long, Laframboise was confident that he could complete assembly by the end of summer 2008.
The RV-7A has a roomy cockpit that will easily accept two adults with sufficient leg, head and elbow room to stay comfortable aloft for four hours at a time.
"It's an all-around sport airplane, with excellent cross-country capability, fine aerobatic qualities and superior handling."
With its clear, sliding, jet fighter-inspired canopy, the RV-7A is a cool shapeshifter - a propeller aircraft that was probably a jet fighter in a previous incarnation. But unlike most propeller and jet aircraft, Laframboise's RV-7A is capable of very short take-offs and landings.
Equipped with a fuel-injected, 360 cubic-inch, four-cylinder Superior Air Parts engine, Lamframboise's RV-7A can fly between 150 and 200 hp. According to its designer, while cruising at 160 mph, the RV-7A can achieve better mileage than many of the compact cars it's flying over.
"It has a roller cam, something totally new," Laframboise said. "It makes an aircraft engine run easier and the cam shafts last a lot longer. Yet in so many ways it's solid 1930s technology. No battery needed for ignition, just magnetos. It's basically low-tech when compared to a modern automobile engine."
At the very end of the assembly process, Laframboise hired the expert services of J&M Aviation, operators of the Middlebury State Airport, to paint the bird in a dazzling patriotic red, white and blue. Following Laframboise's sketches, J&M rendered the final product as a visually magnificent, glossy "sports car" with wings.
The RV-7A's maiden flight took place on a warm, sunny day last September. The pilot's wife, Bonnie Laframboise, was on hand to see her husband take off. While she may have been a little leary, she sure didn't show it on flight day. While not a certified pilot, Bonnie is comfortable around aircraft and airfields, too. She has learned about flying, first hand, in the family's Archer aircraft.
All went well during the RV-7A's first flight. The plane performed flawlessly - from basement workshop to blue sky.
Subsequent test flights are now helping the builder-pilot get a better feel for the bird plus work out any technical bugs. So far so good. However, Lamframboise's wife, two sons, daughter, and five grandchildren will have to wait for their turns in the twin-seat experimental craft. The FAA requires experimental planes such as the RV-7A to fly at least 40 hours before passengers are permitted aboard.
In the meantime, you may be able to see Pete Laframboise flying his RV-7A through the airspace of Addison, Chittenden and Rutland counties. The plane has a distinctive engine sound; with its rakish, electric-like lines of red, white and blue, it's also easy to spot.
So, just when the rest of us ground hogs are easing our cars into the morning traffic pattern on Route 7, Pete Laframboise is already up and out in his experimental RV-7A-free as a bird and zooming off into that wild blue yonder.

Monday, September 24, 2012
At present there are several widely distributed food products in the U.S. that are being recalled because of contamination with Salmonella bacteria. But Trader Joe's peanut butter recall (contaminated with Salmonella Bredeney) is getting more publicity than most. Why?
Well, for one thing, just about every American household buys peanut butter. The average American child will eat about fifteen hundred peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before he or she graduates from high school. And some of us adults like peanut butter too (one of my personal favorite sandwiches is peanut butter and banana on whole wheat).
And another reason for the concern could be that we remember huge Salmonella-related peanut butter recalls in past years where hundreds have become ill, and some people have died. There was that Peter Pan peanut butter recall in 2007 and another even bigger one in 2008-2009 with at least 714 people - and many dogs - ill in 46 states. This second one involved other peanut products as well, and was traced to the unethical Georgia-based peanut plant with the pompous name - Peanut Corporation of America.
So what about the Trader Joe's recall of Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter made with sea salt which was distributed to Trader Joe's stores nationwide? Well, the store downplayed any proven link to illnesses, but the Centers for Disease control have linked eating this product to 29 illnesses in 18 U.S. states, and 4 hospitalizations (no deaths as yet).
The real issue is what ingredient caused the contamination. If it was the peanuts - as is likely - other companies will be affected as well if they use the same peanuts for the processed foods. I guess we'll find out.
In the meantime - check your cupboard or refrigerator if you shop at Trader Joe's (that is where an opened jar should be kept). In the case of past outbreaks people were sometimes becoming ill as long as a year after the recall, because of the long shelf-life of the product - and not knowing about the recall.
To your good health,

text: gkkworks provided construction management services to the City of La Quinta for this new construction project, consisting of the 7,700-SF Fire Station No. 32 and Phase I of the corporate yard on a four-acre site. Key features include its LEED component; photovoltaic panels on steel canopies; compressed natural gas station; low-roof reflectance value of 29; low-irrigation desert scape; permeable pavers; low flush urinals and plenty of windows for daylighting. The corporate yard remained fully functional and secured throughout the construction phase, which led to the demolition of several offices and the relocation of personnel. gkkworks was able to create and encompass the Design-Build portions of the photovoltaic system and compressed natural gas systems as an addition to the original contract. Despite the increased scope, including the 22,000-SF addition of landscaping for a retention basin, gkkworks kept the project under budget and on schedule.

Case Overview
Patient diagnosed with breast cancer. Two months later underwent a bilateral mastectomy with deep tissue reconstruction. Pt couldn't move arms. Back to surgery from clotting of left breast and within 10 hours-had to re-vascularize the breast. Functional use came back fully on left side, right side has yet to come back. Limited ROM in left arm- she suffered brachial plexus injury which change in nerve function and circulation. No function in certain fingers, nerve pain from shoulder to hand and on max dose of gabapentin. Went to OT who told her this was brachial compression injury based on original position placed during surgery.
Negligence with causation?
From the limited info sounds like a hyperextension injury that occurs during surgery if the arms are not protected which can cause these issues. Other possibility is that the brachial plexus was in the surgical field and perhaps injured during axillary node surgery if that was done in this case.
Dr. DK – Breast Surgeon
Sounds meritorious and worthy of review.

As a result of the Supreme Court's decision to keep the Federal Communications Commission's indecency rules in place, more than 1.4 million complaints that have been sitting in limbo at the regulatory agency will now have to be reviewed for potential violations and fines.
In a statement Thursday, FCC Commissioner Robert Robert M. McDowell said, "It is now time for the FCC to get back to work so that we can process the backlog of pending indecency complaints — which currently stands at just under 1.5 million involving about 9,700 TV broadcasts."
The FCC had not acted on the complaints because it was awaiting the high court's ruling.
Thursday's decision did not declare that the FCC's indecency rules and the agency's enforcement of them were vague and unconstitutional, as the broadcast networks had hoped. Instead, the decision, concerning two specific cases involving Fox and ABC, was very narrow in scope, and is not likely to have any broader effect.
Specifically, the Supreme Court said a fine the FCC levied against ABC had to be nullified because the agency had not given the network "fair warning" of an a change in its enforcement of indecency rules. That fine was in relation to some nudity in a 2003 episode of "NYPD Blue."

Cichorium intybus
Credit: google images
Related to endive, escarole, and radicchio, chicory is a warm season vegetable. The names chicory and endive are sometimes used interchangeably, although this is not technically correct. Chicory has oblong, basal foliage, which forms a loose head of dark green leaves that can be used in salads. The roots of 'Magdeburg' chicory are ground and used as a coffee substitute or additive. What is known as French or Belgian endive is actually a chicory, called witloof chicory, which is forced and blanched in the dark to produce tubular heads of leaves, usually but not always indoors in the winter.
Chicory seeds are planted outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, 1/2 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart. Thin plants to 12 inches as they grow. Chicory grown for greens needs average soil; chicory grown for root requires a soil that is loose, rich, and moist. Fertilize at planting time and again in 2 months.
To harvest chicory for leaves, pick them at any time until frost, after that they become too bitter. Plants are hardy to -40 degrees F and can be left in the ground all winter, and new growth harvested in spring. If allowed to grow as a perennial, chicory produces blue flowers in summer. For roots, harvest after the first fall frost.
To grow French or Belgian endive, grow witloof chicory from early summer to fall. Then, after cutting back the tops and digging up the plant, set the roots in moist soil in a warm cellar and cover with a 6 inch layer of moist sand. New leaves will grow in the sand and produce tight, blanched heads.
In mild-winter areas, the same results can be achieved in the home garden. Sow seeds in early summer, not before, because a plant that goes to seed is useless for forcing. Thin seedlings to 4 to 6 inches apart. When plants are fully grown and the first frost hits, cut off the tops two inches above the crown to prevent injury to the crown buds, then cover plants with 6 to 8 inches of soil. In late December start harvesting in the first few feet of the row by removing the soil to expose the white shoots. After cutting the shoots, scrape the soil back over the roots in a mound to force a second crop. By driving a stake, you can mark how much row you have harvested. The harvest can go on through the winter and early spring.
The leaves of chicory are used alone or mixed with other greens in salads. They have a slightly bitter flavor. Chicory roots used for coffee should be dried and ground immediately after harvest. Add an ounce of ground chicory to a cup of ground coffee before brewing for a coffee reminiscent of that served on the Left Bank of Paris or in New Orleans. French or Belgian endive (the forced greens are called chicons) is used fresh in salads; a winter favorite is a combination of chicons and beets. Endive can also be steamed until tender (about 10 minutes) and topped with a seafood creole.

MPAA Effectively Shuts Down Largest Fan Edit Movie Site
from the can't-make-stuff-better dept
TorrentFreak reports that one of the biggest sites for sharing such fan edits has effectively been shut down by the MPAA, which sent a DMCA takedown to the site's hosting provider, forcing the site to pull all of its download links. Prior to this, there were no specific complaints, and Lucasfilm apparently was a big supporter of various fan edits. Considering the nature of fan edits, it's difficult to see how these are likely to diminish the commercial value of a movie. Some might claim that people will be drawn to the fan edits, rather than the authorized cuts of a movie, but that seems unlikely for most people. Realistically, the only folks who are going to invest their time in watching a fan edit would be someone who was already a fan of a specific movie, and was interested in how other fans had re-imagined and re-cut the film.
Lucasfilm has been able to build up tremendous goodwill among fans by allowing such fan edits, knowing that they tend to make fans of various films even more attached to the originals. It's disappointing, though not surprising, that the folks at the MPAA would rather shut off such creativity rather than encourage it.

In Argentina, for example, a recent analysis found a negative correlation between annual deaths from asthma and sales of inhaled corticosteroids during the 1990s, said Hugo Neffen, M.D., president of the Argentine Association of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in Cordoba, Argentina, at a symposium held in conjunction with the meeting of the American College of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology here.
More specifically, sales of inhaled corticosteroids increased by 441% in Argentina during the 1990s while the asthma mortality rate declined from more than 3.5 deaths per 100,000 people to about two deaths per 100,000 (P=.003), Dr. Neffen said.
The trend in Argentina is part of a global phenomenon, with declining asthma mortality rates reported in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United States, and many European countries as inhaled corticosteroid use has increased, Dr. Neffen said.
The trend is especially noteworthy because asthma deaths had been on the rise worldwide during the 1970s and 1980s, largely due to increasing prevalence of the disease and sub-optimal treatment, Dr. Neffen said.
However, asthma still accounts for one of every 250 deaths worldwide, many of which could have been prevented with better medical care. As of 2004, Kazakhstan had the world's highest asthma mortality rate, with nearly 2.5 asthma deaths per 100,000 people, while Iceland had the lowest rate, with fewer than 0.5 deaths per 100,000, according to a report from the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), Dr. Neffen said.
The United States ranked near the middle, with slightly less than one asthma death per 100,000, Dr. Neffen said.
When Inhaled Corticosteroids Fail
Despite the success of inhaled corticosteroids, not all patients respond to this treatment. For patients with persistent allergic asthma not controlled by inhaled corticosteroids, the anti-IgE drug Xolair (omalizumab) may be a useful add-on therapy, said William Berger, M.D., of the University of California, Irvine.
The Investigation of Omalizumab in Severe Asthma Treatment (INNOVATE) study included more than 400 patients ages 12 to 75 with allergic asthma not adequately controlled by inhaled steroids. After 28 weeks of add-on therapy with Xolair, symptoms were reduced by more than 26% in the treatment group compared with placebo (P=.042), Dr. Berger said.
In addition, a pooled analysis of seven studies examining Xolair as an add-on therapy for severe, persistent allergic asthma found that the drug reduced symptoms by more than 38% compared with placebo (P<.0001), Dr. Berger said.
Preliminary research suggested that inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), a cytokine linked to airway hyper reactivity in asthmatics, may also be useful for refractory asthma, said Lawrence Du Buske, M.D., of Harvard Medical School in Boston. Available TNF-a inhibitors include Remicade (infliximab), Humira (adalimumab), and Enbrel (etanercept), Dr. Du Buske said.
For example, a pilot study published in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this year evaluated Enbrel (25 mg twice weekly) in 10 patients with refractory asthma. The double-blind, crossover study found that after 10 weeks of treatment, lung function significantly improved in the treatment group compared with placebo (P=.01), Dr. Du Buske said.
Enbrel is currently indicated to reduce the pain and swelling associated with rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis.
The symposium was sponsored by Interasthma, an international health organization focused on asthma.

Weekend Perk
Yes, yes, on weekends, I can sleep as late as I wish only to wake when my stomach growls in protest... on weekends, I have the luxury of time of making breakfasts at leisure... on weekends, I actually get to see the morning sun-rays streaming into my home giving me the wonderful natural lighting for photoshoots of my breakfast.... can't wait for each weekend to come and embrace me!
Two weekends ago, this bowl of colorful reds and blues bathed in gold greeted my Saturday morning.
A simple bowl of plain yoghurt, sprinkled with a generous handful of organic apple walnut muesli (from Bunalun), decorated with slices of sierra sweet plums and dotted with a few blueberries, and heavily drizzled with thistleflower honey.... need I say more when you can just feast your eyes on the shots here!
Is it too hedonistic to claim that this is one of my simple weekend pleasures... ahh well, a hedonist I will be then if all weekends consist of pure simple pleasures of this nature!
And so from one hedonist to another (I assume you must be one if you're reading my blog), let me bid you a hedonistic weekend filled with epicurean pleasures :-)

KAMLOOPS - If you have an opinion about the proposed $90-million performing arts centre, or perhaps don't yet have an opinion but want to know more, a public input session is being held with you in mind this weekend.
Serious discussion around a performing arts centre in Kamloops began again in 2013 when an open house was held to get an idea of what the community would want out of a centre. By October 2014 consultants were asked to complete a study to determine what a performing arts centre in Kamloops should look like.
The findings of the study were released in a preliminary report last week. The key issues coming out of the first public presentation on April 16 included the former Kamloops Daily News site being named as the desired location and the $90 million dollar price tag.
The Kamloops Daily News property, originally purchased about a year ago as a potential site for a future downtown parkade, performing arts centre or civic building, was considered the most feasible location.
The price includes a parkade, which comes in at just over $25 million, but with the centre itself costing $61 million, the grand total currently sits at more than $90 million, which would make it one of the most expensive city-owned building ever built in the Interior.
There are two potential streams of revenue to pay for the centre. The city presented a funding strategy that would build a capital reserve of $25.5 million by 2020. This strategy includes revenue from on-street parking, an annual allocation of the gaming and community works fund and a one per cent tax increase in each of the first two years of this five year plan. The city also expects about $10 million in grants and naming rights.
This would leave nearly $49 million of debt, which the city expects to service for the next 20 years.
The public input session will be held this Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to noon at Parkside Lounge in the Interior Saving Centre. Input from the meeting will be taken back to city council, the performing arts committee and consultants to help fine-tune the proposal before another public session is held.

Multi Billion Dollar Pipeline Project Advances
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Enbridge Energy's proposal to replace its Line 3 crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota has taken a step forward.
The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission on Friday approved plans for conducting an environmental review of the $2.6 billion project, which would replace a nearly 60-year-old pipeline doesn't run at its original capacity. The pipeline runs from Alberta, Canada, to Superior, Wisconsin.
The PUC denied a request by environmental and tribal groups to reopen the public comment period and further delay the project.
Enbridge wants to run part of the replacement along the same route it proposed for the Sandpiper pipeline.
But Enbridge recently canceled Sandpiper when it announced it intends to buy a $1.5 billion stake in a pipeline system that includes Dakota Access, which has been the subject of tribal protests in North Dakota.

I don't often write personal things here, in fact I don't think I ever do.
But just in case you're taking a few minutes to read this, please click on the link above or on the 'Just Giving' panel below to read about Ray Hart who is raising money for a great cause.
Evie Hart was a friend of ours - the Hart family's youngest who was taken away suddenly and cruelly by cancer.
We all know someone who has had cancer and one in five of us will develop some form. Survival rates are increasing and the UK Government and Barack Obama's administration are putting a lot of money into research. But that's the future.
Right now little girls and boys are living their life in a hospice as their families try and come to terms with an illness that has no cure. Hospice in the Weald does a fantastic job supporting them in Kent and here in Greenwich.
Just give a few pounds or dollars to help them keep doing it.
Thank you.

Devi Ma jaldi se tumhe ek beta de!
Question to all married women (esp. the ones who are yet to enter motherhood): Have you ever been blessed with something like, "may God bless you with a healthy and hearty daughter". At least I have not been, not even once!
I know we have discussed it enough and many including me have expressed million times our dissatisfaction over this bias that happens in our so-called progressive society till date. In fact I have given up on arguing on this topic of male child obsession, it's only me and my husband know as to how much delighted we would be if we will have a baby girl whenever we will have our child. And I really-really mean it, nothing can compare to the joy of having a cute and caring daughter. We always say we will be really happy to have a healthy baby but super joyous if it turns out to be a daughter. Then why am I writing on this topic again today? Well, because of these two incidents which happened yesterday:
A lady not too old and from her personality you cant even call her orthodox blessing me like this (verbatim quoted): "Mata Rani jaldi se tumhe ek swastha beta de, bas devi maiya se yahi prarthna hai ek beta aa jaye tumhare god mein". Hmmm…I just silently smiled. Then her next discussion with my mom was another cherry on top. She explained a whole puja ritual that is done during Navratri festival to have a beta. And how this puja is a sure shot method to be blessed with a son, if you follow all these XYZ instructions Goddess Durga will indeed bless you with a son only! Mom also smiled and replied, "bhagwaan inlogo ko ek sawasth santaan de, phir beta ho ya beti kya fark padta hai". But that lady kept on & on & on explaining whatever... with a conclusive statement "aap ek baar karke toh dekhiye, dekhiyega jaldi hi beta aayega, beta"! And no that lady was not some old haggard conservative granny, she was a middle aged woman, educated and working as well!
Another person who works at a senior position in a corporate announced his leave citing reasons of his trip to Vaishno Devi temple up north. He is going even in the rush season of Navratri as Goddess has fulfilled his wish. Mr. X just got a son few weeks back and would you believe if I say it's his third child? Yes, a third child in this generation and no points for guessing that earlier two kids aged 11 & 7 are girls! Though he never mentioned it explicitly but this question was there on almost everybody's face when he had announced the arrival of his son as to how come a third child in this age esp. when he already has two angel like daughters? Nevertheless, neither it was asked directly and nor it was our business to interfere in his matters. But Mr. X definitely has the nerves to accept that son was his mannat from Devi Mata and he is trekking all the way up as Goddess has fulfilled his wish.
Wow, so you pray to a Devi Mata who is actually a woman to bless you with a male child? You're asked to keep a fast during Navratri and do numerous rituals to offer your prayers to Mata Rani so that she can bless you with a son? You believe in the Shakti of a Goddess, in the power of a woman to fulfill your any wish, yet when it comes to ask for a child you ask for a son! You have faith in a woman but ask her only for a male heir … Interesting & ironical isn't it :-) ?
All you educated and supposedly broad-minded people from my society – I know seeking a blessing to have a daughter is unfathomable and asking like too much. But least you can do is bless a lady to have a healthy child. If you can't utter the words "Devi Ma tumhe ek sunder si beti de", then you don't even have to say to have a beta… "swastha santaan" or a "healthy child" makes much more sense. Accept the child as the best gift that you can get and let the decision of giving you a beta or beti be better left to Almighty!

Crowdfunding for the Arts
As musicians ourselves, we know that instruments can be expensive. However, everyone here at Promote Classical agrees that your dream instrument is never completely out of your reach.
Sometimes, applying for grants to fully cover the cost of a musical instrument purchase can not be possible for a number of reasons, funding may be limited to a small amount of the purchase price, you aren't eligible to apply or your application was lost amongst hundreds of others.
That's where Crowdfunding for the Arts comes in.
Crowdfunding is the practise of using the internet to raise the money for a user-defined goal. It has been used to fundraise for charity, to make the money for video games, for anime, for album recordings and also of course for instrument purchases.
The Founder and Managing Director of Promote Classical, Elliot Corner crowdfunded his own instrument, a 17" David Milward Viola sold for £6,000, when he was aged just 17.
Elliot reached his target of £3,000 in just 11 days, using (now inactive) website 'Zequs'. With careful marketing planning, Elliot utilised the follow-on publicity from successfully crowdfunding half of instrument to raise a further £2,700 in direct donations and sponsored concerts. This resulted in him raising the full £6,000 cost of the instrument.
Promote Classical offers expert assistance to get your campaign moving, to ensure that you reach your full targets on a crowdfunding campaign, and beyond.
Contact us now for more information on how we can help you acquire the instrument of your dreams today on email@example.com.
Success Story: Georgia Scott
Georgia Scott engaged Promote Classical to fundraise on her behalf, to raise £5,000 towards the costs of a recording session for her debut Ballet 'The Undercurrent' in Prague, Austria on 15th October 2015.
She had raised almost €10,000 herself, and desperately needed to raise the last few thousand euros to secure the session.
In close collaboration with Georgia, Promote Classical ran a dedicated, engaged and exciting campaign via Facebook and Twitter, and with several days still to go managed to smash past the target on Indiegogo.We are absolutely delighted for Georgia, and even more so that one of our partner organisations Demerara Records has seen fit to secure a record deal for the recording!
All in all, this project was a massive success, and secured Georgia some excellent publicity alongside a prized record deal for a recording, which we can safely say had a significant amount of emotional investment poured into the production.

Photographer's Note
I have shared shots from Saltram with you before, but not one from this particular angle.
This is the path that approaches the house after leaving the main entrance and the reception.
Saltram House is in the care of the National Trust.
Close to where we live, we visit regularly, often just to have a walk around the grounds.
"Saltram was home to the Parker family from 1743 and the house reflects their increasingly prominent lifestyle during the Georgian period."
(From the NT handbook.)
Well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.
Thank you for looking.

Hello Jean,
This is a grand house which, I think is in the Palladian style. I'm sure it great character no matter which angle you choose to view it.
You have set the image nicely off-centre to include the driveway, across which we can see the shadows of trees just out of view.
The image is sharp and well lit.
Just looking at the size of the house, you wonder how many servants the owners would have to employ to make it run successfully.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Jean,
it's a good architectural photo, and I think this is not easy due to the logical distortion of vertical lines, that you've controlled efficiently, but not too much, creating a very real image of this elegant house.
I like the great play of light and shades, and the high chromatic quality of the ensemble.
A nice job.
Kind regards,
macjake (86325) 2018-01-14 10:05
Hi Jean
thanks for the WS photo, it's a bit better quality wise and presentation wise, but this one here is still very attractive as well - otherwise I wouldn't have clicked on it.
I like your latest nature scene, but as a lover of buildings and architecture I had to go with this one :)
ya, this is one sweet Mansion isn't it! I wonder how much it would cost to spend a night if you asked them hahaha, even if it is under Trust. Its very stately, sophisticated and regal, I wonder if the Parker Family were the same way haha. nice pale colours, soft colours and lighting. cheers

AnCnoc 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
AnCnoc is produced at the Knockdhu Distillery which was founded in 1894 following the discovery of several springs of particularly pure water on the southern slopes of Knock Hill. When production first started, the Distillery was a showpiece. Two pot stills could turn out 2500 gallons of spirit per week, motive power being supplied by a 16 horsepower steam engine. Cottages were built for the workers and their families, creating a new community around the Distillery. Much has been done to modernise the buildings and machinery since, but very little has changed in the distillation process. The two originally designed pot stills remain, giving Knockdhu the same traditional, distinctive flavour as was first tasted almost 100 years ago.This non chill filtered 18 year old was matured in x Sherry and x Bourbon casks.Very limited stocks. Other reviews... curious mix of prickly spice and buttered raisin shortcake; the palate is swamped by malt and vanilla; malt sharp and two toned as though the third fill bourbon casks more than equal first. But the middle is a little dull, with fruit fudge the order of the day; disappointingly short of charisma: monotone fruit, perhaps, but badly lacking in lengthening sugars; cleaner sherry at work here, but again the contours of the malt have been flattened out badly. 46% Alc./Vol. 88.5 points- Jim Murrays Whisky Bible 2016

Hi everyone! It's coming up on just about one year that I've been keeping this blog, and I'd like to celebrate that in some small way. So I've decided to give away a ring sling:
I have this ring sling in sage from Baby Ette on Etsy, and I love it. I'm still able to use it with Quinn for hip carries, and it's really helpful when she wants to be close but I need my hands free. It's more easy to put her in this than a woven wrap, and it feels more like I'm actually holding her.
Baby Ette offers these slings in a variety of colors, and I'm offering up one to one lucky reader:
Baby Ette is not sponsoring this giveaway (which is why I am not linking to their shop). That means that whoever wins will need to tell me the color and the size they prefer, and I will order the sling and have it shipped to their address.
Available colors include: Black, denim, baby blue, brown, coppertone, gray, hunter, sage, lavendar, pink, plum, and red. You can also get the sling in a petite (72″), standard (78″) or tall (84″) size.
To enter, you just need to become a fan of Anarchy in the Sandbox on Facebook. You can get optional additional entries by following me on Twitter, tweeting about the giveaway, following me on Pinterest, and signing up for blog updates. Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter:
Entries will close at 11:59 p.m. on June 20, 2013. The winner will be announced the next day.
Good luck to all you mamas and thanks for joining me on this first year!

"It was only a nightmare at first, but Damont soon realizes that he can see into the future—a curse he has to live with for being the only son of a king dead for a thousand years, with a mother who is the goddess of time.
A man in black armor with a face as obscure as the shadows mantling him laughs wickedly. Who is he and why does he continue to haunt me, Damont wonders. Appearing only in his dreams, the man in the black armor stands alone and laughs high as if to mock him while the world around him burns to cinder. "They are not dreams, my son," a voice calls out to him in a vision after the many nightmares—claiming to be his mother whom abandoned him when he was but a child. "They are shards of a broken world to come if you so take the path of your father." If such a path does lie ahead beyond a throne that sits vacant for centuries, with an empire in the east growling for war, then Damont Langörn realizes he has but one choice: follow the visions and seek out the truth lost to both him and the world behind his lineage—but will he be strong enough to face such a malevolent foe of his nightmares?With a vampire and a sorceress at his side, Damont begins his journey, but such a road is not an easy one to take if the gods themselves do not wish for his return as the king who would unite the world against their existence and bring demise to their very doorstep."

English Speaking Christian Churches in Moscow
Hello! Thought this might be useful for English speaking Christians coming to live and work or study in Moscow and looking for an English speaking church and expat Christian fellowship. I decided to post this after a few people who have been directed to me by my Ministry Director called me from the US to ask for info about churches.
I am working with a Church planting mission from the USA here in Moscow and attend one of the big expat churches here.
There are quite a few English speaking churches, here are a few names:
- International Christian Fellowship (my church)
- Moscow Protestant Chaplaincy (I go there sometimes)
- International Christian Assembly
- Word of Life
- Calvary Chapel (working for Calvary Chapel Church Planting Mission, CA - Russia)
and more...
There is also an amazing Tuesday Night Bible study home group which is ICF based, but includes people from different churches and different countries, and was started as a group for Christian expats to help them feel welcome and build friendships with other expatriate and Russian believers in Moscow.
I will be glad to answer whatever questions you may have about churches and refer you to one of them or put you in contact with church leadership or other expat Christians. I'll be really happy if this post is helpful to someone!

ATC extends arrest warrant of Qadri for seven days
Fifty-five policemen were injured in a clash between PAT workers and Police in Sadhoki on the martyrs day observed by PAT.
The FIR of the incident was registered under terrorism charges against 72 accused including Dr. Tahirul Qadri.
The special court Gujranwala had issued a non-bailable warrant for arrest of Qadri and other accused by August 05.
The police informed the court today that Tahirul Qadri was leading the PAT sit-in in Islamabad and his arrest could create a law and order problem. The police pleaded to the court to extend the compliance time of the arrest warrant.
The judge granted the plea and extended the arrest warrant for seven days and ordered the police to comply the order upto September 22nd.

Pew Research Center reports and data on the Millennial generation, those born between 1981 and 1996 and the first generation to come of age in the new millennium.
5 facts about Muslim Millennials in the U.S.
While Millennials make up 32% of all U.S. adults, they account for roughly half of American Muslim adults. Read five facts about Muslim Millennials.
5 facts about Millennial households
Millennials trail Baby Boomers and Generation Xers in the number of households they head. But Millennial-run households represent the largest group in some key categories, such as the number in poverty or the number headed by a single mother.
Millennials and Gen Xers outvoted Boomers and older generations in 2016 election
Millennials and Generation Xers cast 69.6 million votes in the 2016 general election, a slight majority of the 137.5 million total votes cast.
Millennials are the most likely generation of Americans to use public libraries
About half of U.S. Millennials have visited a public library or bookmobile in the past year.
Today's young workers are more likely than ever to have a bachelor's degree
Four-in-ten Millennial workers ages 25 to 29 had completed at least a bachelor's degree in 2016, compared with 32% of Generation X workers and smaller shares of the Baby Boom and Silent generations when they were in the same age range.
It's becoming more common for young adults to live at home – and for longer stretches
Through both recession and recovery, the share of young adults living in their parents' home continues to rise. As of 2016, 15% of 25- to 35-year-old Millennials were living in their parents' home.
Millennials aren't job-hopping any faster than Generation X did
Millennial workers are just as likely to stick with their employers as their older counterparts in Generation X were when they were young adults.
A wider partisan and ideological gap between younger, older generations
The generation gap in American politics is dividing two younger age groups, Millennials and Generation X, from the two older groups, Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation.
Millennials in many countries are more open than their elders on questions of national identity
In a number of countries, younger people are more likely than their elders to take an inclusive view of what it takes for people to be truly "one of us."
Americans are moving at historically low rates, in part because Millennials are staying put
Americans are moving at the lowest rate on record, and recently released Census Bureau data show that a primary reason is that Millennials are moving significantly less than earlier generations of young adults.

Of all the people in the world to give extra motivation to, Ray Lewis would not be one.
But alas, some Massachusetts folks thought it was a great idea to give him a little poke on an Interstate 93 billboard before Sunday night's AFC Championship Game.
The Ravens won that game, of course, and Lewis had words about the billboard after the victory.
"I was hurt when I saw a sign that actually said my retirement would [start] tonight," Lewis said, according to The Boston Globe.
Too bad about the hurt feelings, Ray. But at least you've inspired another creative billboard, as @MassBillboard has responded with this follow-up to the incorrect prediction.
Welp. http://t.co/qzI1iy2U—

The Muppets Beastie Boy cover is a playful recreation of the critically acclaimed group's 'What'cha Want?' track. Flawlessly integrating Swedish Chef, Animal and Beaker in place of Michael 'Mike D' Diamond, Adam 'MCA' Yauch and Adam 'Ad-Rock' Horovitz, the three puppets lip-sync in front of a sparkling clover backdrop while wearing green berets.
A fun tribute to the celebrated music group, the Muppets Beastie Boy cover ends with a simple hash tag, 'RIP MCA.' Although he passed away on May 4 in 2012, he would have celebrated his birthday on August 5, so perhaps the Muppets Beastie Boy cover is more timely than people would have originally thought. Of course, Mashable writes, "The Internet is a land of endless creativity, so a collision of Muppets and Beastie Boys was inevitable."

Jarvious Cotton's great-great-grandfather could not vote as a slave. His great-grandfather was beaten to death by the Klu Klux Klan for attempting to vote. His grandfather was prevented from voting by Klan intimidation; his father was barred by poll taxes and literacy tests. Today, Cotton cannot vote because he, like many black men in the United States, has been labeled a felon and is currently on parole. – From 'The New Jim Crow'.
Placed within the context of the euphoria around the election of President Obama as the nation's first black President, Michelle Alexander's first book "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness" argues that while on the surface it seems like racial subordination is no longer entrenched in the law books, the truth is Jim Crow laws have simply been redesigned and appropriated by the criminal justice system.
Some shocking stats. One in every eight black men in their twenties are in prison or jail on any given day. There are more African Americans who are in jail, prison, probation or parole today, than were enslaved in 1850. Alexander reacts against the dominant narrative of racial justice which says that while there is still a way to go, America has come a long way from it's history of racial discrimination, and instead explains the way that the system works to exercise a contemporary form of racial control, a process that continues long after the individuals are officially released out of the system. From Chapter 5 of the book-
The first stage is the roundup [when] vast numbers of people are swept into the criminal justice system by the police, who conduct drug operations primarily in poor communities of color… Once arrested, defendants are generally denied meaningful legal representation and pressured to plead guilty, whether they are or not. Once convicted… virtually every aspect of one's life is regulated and monitored by the system. The final stage… often [has] a greater impact on one's life course than the months or years one actually spends behind bars. [Parolees] will be discriminated against, legally, for the rest of their lives-denied employment, housing, education, and public benefits. Unable to surmount these obstacles, most will eventually return to prison and then be released again, caught in a closed circuit of perpetual marginality.
In Alexander's opinion, far from living in a post-racial utopia, the last few decades have seen the United States move towards a "color-coded caste system" where minority groups are targeted, maligned and marginalized by the criminal justice system. She attributes this increase in the mass incarceration of African Americans over the past thirty years to draconian laws that have been constructed to wage "The War on Drugs", a battle waged against low-income communities of color, even though research consistently counters the claim that any one racial community uses and sells illegal drugs more than any other.
It's a moment to contemplate race and class in today's America. To go beyond the illusion that all is well to a striking reminder that racial injustice is still deeply entrenched in the country. According to Alexander, nothing short of an informed and agitated movement will put an end to this perpetuation of racial inequality in the guise of enforcing justice.

I felt totally low because my so called business is not
going the right way, my handmade items doesn't sell
and it makes me feel like I'm not a really great artist,
it's all a vicious circle.
Today I had enough, my social phobia has got a solid
grip on me and it need to stop.
I can't fix it all at once, baby steps.
Today I actually called my surgery all by myself and
I asked the landlady at a local pub where my man is
gigging next week if I could set up a little stall and sell
rocking X-mas presents and she gave me thumbs up.
I might also have a "job"as a vintage consultant for a
very well known charity.
They have opened a few and will open more shops in
this county and they need my knowledge what to get
into the shops. Don't know yet if I will get paid at first
but it's very nice to be asked.
This my friends is a shawl that I picked up at my old
workplace today for £2. (Click image for larger view.)
I found it a few weeks back but had to have a think
about it and when I went back it was gone but today
it was there again and I got it! :D
I like big shawls, they look quite posh and artsy but
I never dared to get one and I never seen one with
a price tag I liked.
But today I dared, I must have been inspired by my
dear blog friend Ulrika.
I'm totally borrowing her idea to wear it with a belt.
- A lurex belt I might add. ;))
See how awesome it looks on her here and here.

I've been doing craft fairs for over 10 years now, and even now - I sometimes don't sell much! The other week at the vintage fair, I barely made my stall fee back! Its just the way it is sometimes. Have faith that your work is beautiful and you have great ideas - you just need the right audience. Putting yourself out there is the only way, so good for you organising a stall. Get some more in before Xmas I say! :)

Good for you gal!!! Keep taking those small steps and you never know what may happen. Good luck with the vintage consulting too :D

Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania and Sacred Heart University are among colleges clarifying the application process for federal financial aid after a congressman said some students are being misled into paying unnecessary fees.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., asked the Education Department to examine more than 100 colleges — including most of the Ivy League — for possible violations of U.S. law. He said some schools fail to inform students applying for federal grants and loans that they need only to use a free form known as Fafsa.
More students are seeking financial aid as the cost of higher education continues to rise faster than the rate of inflation. Outstanding student-loan debt has climbed to $1.2 trillion. Besides federal aid, many colleges offer their own grants, and hundreds of them require applicants to submit a fee-based form — the CSS Profile — to determine eligibility. That's where the confusion lies.
"We've always been an advocate for students, never wanting them to pay for anything that is unnecessary," said Julie Savino, executive director for financial aid at Sacred Heart, one of at least four colleges that made clarifications on its website last week. "All of us want to provide the best information we can, and we found places where we can update this, and we did it to make it clearer."
Sacred Heart, in Fairfield, Conn., was singled out in Cummings' letter, because of a website reference that said applicants must submit the CSS Profile for any type of aid.
Savino said that reference appeared on the school's "net price calculator" page, which lets families input financial data to see what kind of scholarships a student might receive. The reference was meant to remind students that if they want to apply for a school award, they must submit the Fafsa and the CSS Profile, she said. The Web page now says that the free form is needed to determine federal and state aid, while the CSS Profile is for eligibility for institutional grants and scholarships.
The CSS Profile is a product of the College Board, a New York-based nonprofit that also owns and administers the SAT test. It costs $25 to send the form to one school or scholarship program, and additional reports are $16, according to the College Board, whose members include universities.
Cummings' inquiry evolved over the past few months as Democratic staff on the House Oversight Committee, of which he is the ranking member, reviewed more than 200 colleges that use the CSS Profile.
"The intent of the Higher Education Act is to make it easier for students to apply for financial aid," Cummings said in a statement. "But we have found that many colleges and universities are making this process more complicated and costly, and may be potentially violating the law."
Colleges use the profile, which asks more detailed questions than the federal form, to get a fuller picture of a family's financial situation including home equity and retirement funds.
Students can get fee waivers for the application and for reporting to as many as eight schools. Qualifying students must meet the guidelines of the Department of Agriculture Free and Reduced Price Lunch Program and have few major financial assets, according to the College Board.
For a family of four, that equates to annual parental income of about $40,000 or less, assets — not including the home — of about $30,000 or less, and a home-equity value of less than $100,000, according to the College Board.
The University of Pennsylvania, one of eight Northeastern schools that make up the Ivy League, says that students interested only in federal financial aid are encouraged to submit only the free Fafsa form, said Ron Ozio, a spokesman for the school in Philadelphia.
"To be certain there is no further misunderstanding, we have reworked the language on our website to make this more clear," Ozio said in a statement. Penn requires additional documentation for direct aid from the university.
Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa., also changed its website to clarify that students don't need the CSS Profile for federal financial aid, said Bill Conley, vice president for enrollment management.
Some of the nation's wealthiest universities are among the 111 colleges cited in Cummings' letter, including Harvard, Yale and Northwestern.
Harvard, which waives the cost to use the Profile for low- income students, "will continue working to ensure that our students have the clear guidance they need to access the federal and Harvard-funded aid to which they are entitled," said Jeff Neal, a spokesman for the Cambridge, Mass.-based school.
Yale, which also waives the cost, added language to its Web page to specify that students need only the Fafsa form to apply for federal aid, spokesman Tom Conroy said in an e-mail. Northwestern will review its site to see if additional language is needed, Alan Cubbage, a spokesman, said in an e-mail.
Princeton University, the only Ivy League school that wasn't listed in Cummings' letter, created its own free supplemental form in 2001 "to improve access and make it easier to apply," Robin Moscato, director of undergraduate financial aid, said in an interview.
"Paying to apply for financial aid seemed to be counterintuitive," she said.
