Why did you start blogging?
I started this little blog as a place to collect my ideas and thoughts. My Pintrest account was becoming out of control, I needed a way to get all of it out. I love my job, but the nine to five was starting to get the best of me! This little piece of heaven on the web for me changed that. It gave me a spark! Instead of coming home and watching TV, I started to research post ideas, begin projects and meet new friends.
What do you blog about?
Anything! From fashion I love, what I have been up to, DIY fails etc. I don't like to label it too much so I can blog about anything on a whim! I guess a ʺlifestyleʺ blog is the best way to describe it.
Who you say is your "style icon"?
I love Lauren Conrad. I could switch closets with her and never hate a thing. She is so classic with just enough edge and on trend items.
We all have a go to in our closets, what's your FAVORITE item?
This is tough. I just love my closet in general! Some of my go-to's are:
`My LV bag. I bought it for myself when I graduated college. It is my fave.
`Levi's Skinnies in a few different shades. They fit like a glove and have just the right amount of stretch.
`Statement necklaces. I have started a collection!
`MK gold oversized watch
`Chambray button up: This is so versatile. I just love it.
`DV booties. Just a high enough heel that they aren't kitten heels. I can't handle kitten heels, they feel like cheating.
`Any of my flowy blouses. I wear them to work, with leggings, with jeans etc.
`Wide leg dark denim: perfect way to dress up a casual outfit.
I could go at this for hours.....
Bloggers are from all over, where is your bloggin hub?
Boston. The best city on earth :)
Tell us a little bit more about you :)
I am outgoing, ambitious and I don't take myself too seriously. So stop by and let's get to know each other!
You heard here, go stop by and say hi! She is adorable and has such a great blog! Thanks Amanda for sponsoring this month!!

A few things have been on my mind the past 2 weeks that I'd like to share with you…
- Live each day with love & joy. It may be your last.
- Be kind to everyone, family, friends and even the less than friendly…
- Aging well is about living life with youthful effervescence. Truly, you are never too old to learn something new, start out on a new path, or re-visit an old passion with a new and improved state of mind. Try it and you will be pleasantly surprised.
- Coconut oil, milk & water all have become dietary staples for me. Give them a try.
- Do blonds really have more fun? I'll tell you in a couple of months since my hairdresser and I have decided to find out!
- Yes you can get too much exercise, so don't overdo it…
- Chocolate. Simply!
As you can see from my list I tend to mix it up a bit. Okay I mix it up a lot! Maybe we all do. Of course this chatter is pretty much endless for me but as many of you know I find my center & inner peace through movement & also through some of the above items. (Did I mention chocolate?) I am always pursuing new interests, asking new questions and loving the path that brings answers. I make really long lists! Hope you are too.
Happy Adventures to all of you as we enjoy the last few weeks of summer.
Love, PS

Well Haley is back on 4 wheels instead of 2. She can ride without training wheels but is afraid to. So she is zooming around our street training wheels and all. Every moment of Haley's day is about playing. "Mom can I see if Kilyn can play?", "Mom I am going to see if McKinlee can play.". This goes on through all of her friends and I hear it all day. She LOVES playing with her friends. Haley is learning about not hitting and telling the truth. She is very dramatic so sometimes it takes a few tries to get the real story. Haley is very into clothes and make-up and how she looks. She has an incredible knack for accessorizing! We think Haley has a talent for making things look good together. We are however trying to get her focused on looking at the inside of herself and those around her... trying to help her understand that it is the beauty inside that truly counts. So if you see Haley please compliment her on her personality or a talent she has that you have witnessed.
This summer Haley will be learning to recognize her letters and numbers, learn her sounds, learn how to make smoothies, do laundry and have lots of fun playing of course.
Well where do I begin with our little super boy? I decided Camden is a little like Stitch in the movie "Lilo and Stitch". The part where he builds a pretend city and then destroys it....well that is pretty much Cam. The other part that reminds me of Cam is the end of the movie where Stitch shows how much he loves his family. Camden is the sweetest boy I have ever met. He is full of manners and loves to hug. So inside of that cute little tornado that sweeps our house each day is a big heart full of fun and love! I just don't know what I would do without him. I do know my day would be very boring!
Some time ago I posted about Camden taking off his poopy diaper (when I thought he was napping) and spread the poop all around his room and all over himself. Well since then this has been a regular occurrence. So much so that I finally had to keep him in zip up pj's for nap time. I pin the inside so he can't get them down. This has solved the painting with poop issues. Recently one day I thought I would see how he did without zip ups. Opps....he did it again..but this time as he puts it "Look Mom, I cleaned it up!". Sure enough...he found wipes in his room and he picked up the poop and put it back in the diaper. So there actually was minimal mess for me. Rather than scolding him....I saw the humor and saw my sweet little boy understanding that Mom hates the poop out of the diaper...so he fixed it. We still do zip ups but that little experience helped me see that my little boy loves his Mommy!
This summer Camden will try to escape to the front yard every chance he gets....because that is what he is already doing. I think he is with his sister all safe so I take a shower. I get out and check and guess who is on his little bike across the street all the way down on his way to the park? Oh yes....little Camden. So what will Camden be doing all summer? Running away from Mom. I guess I can look on the bright side...running helps me lose weight!
This is what Camden does when he is past the point of needing a nap...he just sleeps wherever and whenever he needs. It is such a good thing that he still takes a nap! Goodnight Super Cam!
I just had to add to this post before I published it. As I was waiting for the the video to upload (unfortunately it didn't work) so I could publish I went up stairs to find a poopy mess. Not a terrible one but it wasn't fun either. As I was cleaning up I was wondering what Camden was doing and where he was sitting....I call him to come and he is fully dressed with underpants on and a clean bum. I was really surprised. It turns out that my little Haley had given him a bath in the sink and then dressed him. All of this had taken place in the few moments I sat here to type. She is such a cute little "mother" to her baby brother. It is moments like this I think ....we must be doing something right!
Little A. is growing so fast. She is now about 10 weeks old and is almost out of her 0-3 month clothes. A. loves to smile in the mornings...and I am so lucky because I get 99 % of the smiles. I can tell I am her favorite person and I LOVE that!!! It is so amazing to witness bonding taking place!
A. is now sleeping through the nights more and more! YEAH!!! I was a zombie for a many weeks so sleeping is very welcomed!
A. is still in the sleep, eat, poop mode..but she stays awake alot more and enjoys looking at her hands, toys but especially loves to talk to us. She is such a sweet baby that we all love very much!!!! I don't know what I am going to do when she leaves our family! I still wish with all my heart she was staying but I know that isn't happening so I enjoy all I can while she is here!

The Community College of Allegheny County provides a supportive and transformative learning environment that prepares graduates to meet critical needs in the region's workforce.
At CCAC, we believe that life outside the classroom is an important part of your college experience. Each CCAC campus has a variety of activities to enhance your lifestyle – including athletics, cultural events and personal development seminars.
The CCAC Educational
Foundation is the fundraising and benefactor arm of the college. It seeks to
create vital connections between the college and the wider community
to ensure the ongoing viability of the college.
PITTSBURGH-Charlene Newkirk, president of the Community College of Allegheny County's South Campus and Washington County Center, has been appointed to the Jefferson Hospital Board of Directors. The board is made up of volunteers who represent a broad cross-section of the communities and constituents served by the hospital.
Newkirk is pleased to join in the mission of Jefferson Hospital, which, she said, offers a wide range of high quality and affordable health care services, works diligently to keep patients healthy and has a long history of meeting the needs of the region's diverse populations.
"This appointment is a great honor for me, and my membership on the Jefferson Hospital Board of Directors is a significant highpoint in my service to the community where I grew up," said Newkirk. "The hospital and its staff have demonstrated a continuing commitment to the health and wellbeing of all people in our region for more than 50 years."
A native of Pittsburgh, Newkirk graduated from Westinghouse High School in 1969, received a BA in English from Oberlin College in 1974 and a JD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1978. She passed the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania bar examination in 1978 and actively practiced law for several years prior to entering the field of higher education administration.
Newkirk has been with CCAC since March 2009. She previously served as vice president and dean of the Prince Frederick Campus of the College of Southern Maryland. In addition, she has served as a member of Middle States reaccreditation teams, as a Baldrige-trained examiner team member for the Maryland Performance Excellence Awards program and as a grant reviewer for the U.S. Department of Education.
Last year, Newkirk received a 2017 Shirley B. Gordon Award of Distinction at the 99th annual Phi Theta Kappa "Catalyst" Convention. She was among 19 college presidents and campus CEOs from across the nation who were selected for this award based on their outstanding efforts toward promoting the goals of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

Neighborhood change/gentrification
The fourth phase of the new headquarters that Vulcan is building for Amazon.com is seen at an unveiling on March 22, 2011 in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood. Elliot Suhr/seattlepi.com.
When I write about "gentrification" I make the point that the issue is really about neighborhood change, and that the "new people" are different from the "old people" and that these differences aren't always economic or racial, but can include differences in educational attainment, where you work, etc.

Justice Michelle M. Keller to be formally sworn in as a Supreme Court justice May 14 at the Capitol
Justice Michelle M. Keller to be formally sworn in as a Supreme Court justice May 14 at the Capitol
Ceremony is open to the public
FRANKFORT, Ky., May 10, 2013 – Justice Michelle M. Keller will be formally sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court of Kentucky at an investiture ceremony Tuesday, May 14, at the state Capitol in Frankfort. The event is open to the public and will take place at 11 a.m. EDT in the Supreme Court Courtroom on the second floor of the Capitol. The Capitol is located at 700 Capitol Ave.
Gov. Steve Beshear appointed Justice Keller in April to serve as the justice from the 6th Supreme Court District. Justice Keller was a Court of Appeals judge for the six years prior to being selected for the Supreme Court. With her appointment, the seven-member Supreme Court now has three female justices for the first time ever.
Justice Keller was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Justice Wil Schroder, who retired in January 2013 due to health issues.
The 6th Supreme Court District is composed of Bath, Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Fleming, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Henry, Kenton, Lewis, Mason, Nicholas, Oldham, Owen, Pendleton, Robertson, Shelby, Spencer and Trimble counties.
Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is the state court of last resort and the final interpreter of Kentucky law. Seven justices sit on the Supreme Court and all seven justices rule on appeals that come before the court. The justices are elected from seven appellate districts and serve eight-year terms. A chief justice, chosen for a four-year term by fellow justices, is the administrative head of the state's court system and is responsible for its operation. The Supreme Court may order a ruling or opinion to be published, which means that the ruling becomes the case law governing all similar cases in the future in Kentucky.

This mental laziness is real.
Mental laziness is the worst type of laziness yet because one really can't do much about it.
Just gripe and gripe and gripe and sulk and rail at something or someone for the fact that you just can't seem to get your brain to get off the couch.
Bloody couch potato.
No amount of cussing will help.
Just walk away.

Guglhupf – Kugelhopf – Ringcake – a Culinary Art Experience Worthy of an Austrian Emperor & of course of You!
Name this cake: Guglhupf, Kugelhopf, Gugelhopf, Guglhopf…(a tricky twister!)…in plain English a typical ring-shape exquisite Austrian cake, with a gratifying culinary history behind it. Independently of the varied names and more or less ingredients, this Ringcake can achieve the maximum of your sweet expectations if you try it.
If you enjoyed the Sachertorte / Sacher torte especially of Wein (Vienna) or Salzburg in Austria you should taste this marvelous Guglhupf, a real pastry art for your joy.
The Sachertorte and the Guglhupf are different cake styles but for sure, both, deserve a big slice right now together with a cafe-coffee! The Kugelhopf is also delectable with sweet white wines like an aromatic flowery Riesling wine, typical of that area.
Let's do it, Cafe-time with your Kugelhopf! and see the Guglhupf Culinary History
The Ringcake history goes back to the ancient Romans that were near to Vienna about 2000 years ago. Archaeological excavations on that region show that the used Roman baking pans are practically the same till today.
About the Ringcake shape, some explains that the form could be of the rotating sun at the Romans period, others to the Turkish turbans because the Turkish were in Austria at the 17th century.
As always in food history often the origin isn't very clear but the Guglhupf came from the Austrian pastry and baking school. Anyway, dreamy variants can be tracked in Germany, Swiss and Alsace-France similar to a brioche.
One history is that the Guglhupf recipe arrived to France with Marie Antoinette coming from Austria; she had fondness for sweet breads and became very popular.
When the Emperor of Austria Franz Joseph began to order the Guglhupf for his daily breakfast, the Ringcake history changed for ever, switching to a next level.
The marbled cake Kugelhopf can be perfectly fruit topped or mmmm (sorry!) and as your morning-bread more honey or butter.
Do you know that there's a luxury 5 star hotel that has a secret recipe of the original Vienna Ringcake that the Emperor Franz enjoyed for breakfast?
I'm talking about the sumptuous Grand Hotel Wien located in Austria, who has an original Guglhupf recipe.
Only I know that the original Guglhupf cake has white flour, butter, cacao in powder, salt, sugar…and many other ingredients more…taste it and tell me later!
As foodies… take a look of a Restaurant of the Grand Hotel!
Can you imagine delighting the Guglhupf and other enchants in some of the magnificent places like these?
How about to wake up in the morning in a great room like this and enjoy the first meal of your day with a Guglhupf?
The Guglhupf, Kugelhopf is nowadays heritage of the international culinary world with many recipes and available in different countries; but if you want the Original Wiener Guglhupf of the Emperor Franz, visit the Grand Hotel Wien for this Vienna-Ringcake.
The same is baked in the Grand Hotel bakery and It's available in two sizes but with identical results, your tasty enjoyment!

Freeze-Dried Microbial Food Culture Market - Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2017 - 2022)
Freeze-Dried Microbial Food Culture Market
Freeze-dried microbial culture is the best dehydrated form, due to its high shelf-life and product quality. Functional dairy and fermented drink products have created a huge competition among freeze-dried microbial culture companies. Freeze dried microbial culture holds a significant share in freeze-dried food market. The global freeze-dried microbial food culture market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period of 2017–2022, to reach USD XX billion by 2022.
Market Dynamics
Freeze-drying produces a superior quality culture by facilitating long-term storage and retaining the intact structure of the culture by minimizing the damage that may be caused by other drying methods. The increased shelf-life makes it a profitable product during its supply chain. Moreover, the cultures retain their original shape, while being light-weight, which makes them convenient for transportation. Freeze-dried cultures can be easily revived after prolonged storage by adding liquid medium, and transferring the rehydrated culture to a suitable growth medium. Consumer demand for freeze-dried cultures is also growing mainly due to their convenience; consumers mostly use these cultures to prepare home-made yogurt and sourdough bread. Freeze-dried cultures are preferred for probiotic food and fermented drink applications. The demand for fermented foods is growing rapidly due to the increased consumer awareness, which is another growth factor for the market. However, freeze-drying of culture is an expensive process, and large-scale production of the cultures is not very favourable. Availability of other microbial cultures, such as spray dried culture and liquid microbial culture, are affecting the market.
Market Segmentation
The global freeze-dried microbial food culture market has been segmented by application and geography. The freeze-dried microbial food culture market, by application, includes dairy-based, cereal-based, meat-based, beverage and other products. The dairy-based segment holds the largest share in the market due to the massive consumption of dairy products, followed by the beverage market.
Regional Analysis
North America and Europe hold the largest markets in the freeze-dried microbial culture market due to the high technological advancements and increased consumption of fermented food products. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow at a faster rate during the forecast period. In the developed regions, such as North America and Europe, the application of freeze-dried cultures in dairy-based products and fermented beverages is growing at a fast rate, which is another major driver for the market.
Some of the major players capturing the market include -
Chr. Hansen
Lallemand Inc.
Lesaffre Group
Nebraska Cultures Inc. (U.S.)
Direct NewGen
Recent Industry Insights
"DSM's new freeze-dried Delvo® cultures support sustainable production of set yogurt."

Yesterday, President Obama issued Executive Order 13,610, which fleshes out the ex post regulatory review requirements initially imposed on executive branch agencies last year in EO 13,563. Those agencies have for several decades by required by various EOs to conduct ex ante economic analyses of proposed regulations.
I strong support the addition of ex post assessments of regulations to the existing system of ex ante regulatory impact analyses (RIAs). Arguably, ex post economic assessments are more valuable because they can be based on hard data about the relative performance of regulations over time, and provide a greater opportunity for learning about what kinds of regulations work best in different circumstances.
What EO 13,610 specifically adds are requirements for public input, including taking suggestions about which regulations should be reviewed and how they might be modified in light of review. The EO also requires agencies to prioritize regulatory review based on the potential cost-savings, reductions in regulatory burdens (consistent with statutory requirements), and paperwork reductions. Agencies are to report to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the President's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) twice each year on their regulatory review efforts.
The only part of this new EO that concerns me is the biannual reporting requirement, which could consume a large number of staff-hours that might be better devoted to other matters. It's not clear to me that reporting once a year would be insufficient.
The new EO can be read here.

Researcher discovered vulnerability in PayPal
Researcher Michael Stepankin has found a vulnerability in PayPal. By making use of the vulnerability for Stepankin it was possible to perform system commands on the PayPal servers.
Stepankin gives the r emote code execution vulnerability have been found on one of PayPal's business websites. The vulnerability enabled him to execute arbitrary shell commands on the PayPal servers due to unsafe Java objectdeserialisatie. With this he had access to production databases PayPal. He has reported the vulnerability to PayPal, which the company has resolved the vulnerability and Stepankin has a fee.
In December 2015 the investigator conducted safety tests of the manager.paypal.com website when he found out that it was possible to execute arbitrary control commands on the PayPal web servers. Stepankin could also connect to its own Web server, for example, and upload a backdoor and use. To demonstrate the vulnerability Stepankin moved the "/ etc / passwd" file to its own server. He also made a video in which he uses the Java Object deserialization vulnerability.
PayPal indicates that the vulnerability was greater than that which was anticipated. The cause of the vulnerability are Java applications that suspect data still deserialize and have commons-collections in their classpath. Mark Litchfield, a security researchers PayPal had the vulnerability according to the company a few days before Stepankin who reported indicated. According to Litchfield, there were nine different points where the problem occurred, but PayPal claims that they all had the same origin and that the underlying problem is resolved.Viewing:-247

When Taylor first contacted me she had a deep desire to submit and serve. She wanted to swallow and learn the consequences if she didn't. She also felt a satisfaction in pleasing a man and wanted to be taught that pleasure no matter how red her bottom got. When thing she learned quickly, as others have come to learn, is NOT to answer a question or command with a question. The plain simple fact is that you can't force anyone to do what they don't want to do in any clip. Taylor, like other submissives, submit to my training and spankings because they want to!
|Taylor, Naughty Neighbor

Are we witnessing the death of a dynasty?
The way things have been going, the new album by Janet Jackson that arrives in stores today could be one of the final acts of a royal line that's presided at the center of pop music for four decades.
Now the Jackson 5 is long gone, Michael Jackson is way gone and the legacy that produced "ABC," "Rock With You," "Billie Jean" and "Rhythm Nation" has dwindled to this, the suddenly sputtering career of little sister Janet.
The title of her new collection, "20 Y.O.," alludes to the 1986 release of "Control," her first "grown-up" album, the one that made her a legitimate successor to brother Michael as the Jackson clan's hit-maker and media star.

Wildlife biologists are trying to find the third cub of a litter that was captured Tuesday in a trap set in a Longwood neighborhood while they investigate another report of a bear-human conflict.
A female bear and two of her cubs were captured and sent to a rehab facility in Apopka but a third ran off before officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission could catch it. Officials said the yearling can survive on its own if it isn't trapped.

Archive for September 2004
I'm leaving now, but leaving slowly, because I have a diamond tiara up my pipe.
— Lorraine (Minnie Driver), Will & Grace
I've started logging website referrals again, and it's looking very different from the last time. There are many referrals from the MPC Forums and mpc1000.com, a site belonging to a developer working on a program editor, now with a link to my MPC1000 FAQ on the front page. I'm also seeing search engines returning results from searches for "MPC1000" and "MIDI", "tutorial", "FAQ". There are also some Rush-related searches, mostly finding my review of Peart's Ghost Rider.
Then there are the odd ones…
- I have no idea what is going on at http://ime.nu/stereoroid.com/ . The Japanese text reads something like "here's a useful link", but I can see no reason for it.
- Ditto for: http://www.poppville.com/homepage.html . I think the webmaster just likes the rotating logo.
- OK, I did include the Kanji for "sushi" back in March, which Google found, that's understandable.
- Palladino vs Entwistle: the former joined The Who's tour after the latter died back in June 2002. (Over two years ago? Sheesh.) It's not like they're competing, folks.
- What is "Grant's Topographic Memory"? Whatever it is, bits of it are found here, as are "Southern California Tsunamis" and a "pretty Indian girl".
- Then there's the man – must be a man – who Googled* for "huge breasted Germans" and wound up in my August 2004 blog, when I saw Germans in Dubai, then breast reduction surgery on Channel 4. That's what I get for dividing this blog into month-sized chunks, I suppose.
* Yes, I know – Verbing a Noun is a typical Americanism, but it suits Google.
Now it's after midnight – I should retire, I suppose. Night Night.
I'm browsing a few Usenet messages, and someone on alt.fan.pratchett made the mistake of asking for a quick definition of Newton's law of gravitation. It didn't take too long for the discussion to hit the following level:
According to Newton, bigger things suck more, but if you're sucked by something, you blow as much as they suck, and if nobody sucks you, you just go on doing what you were doing before.
— Ori Pessach
OK, I give up… my head is still spinning a little from the Japanese class earlier this evening, after all. We have 先生 telling us this is a difficult section, and she's not kidding. Getting a verb from the "dictionary" form to the commonly-used forms is a tricky multi-stage process, with added complications such as the way you use two or more verbs in a sentence means mixing the forms up in a particular way. She tells us it will be easier after we get over this hill, which may mean more to her than to us, since she'll be about nine months pregnant by the end of this course, the silly mare…
After my communication experiments, last night, I went to see Collateral, the latest movie from Michael Mann, the director behind Heat, one of my favourite films. It marks Mann's return to Los Angeles, the city that played a leading role in Heat and does so here, too. It also features a performance from Tom Cruise that will appeal to those, like me, who are not particular fans of his.
He plays Vincent, a hitman with a list of targets in LA, who rents a cab for the night, saying he needs to make some real estate deals. Things do not go to plan, however: he botches the first job, letting the victim fall three stories on to the cab, damaging it, forcing him to take Max (Jamie Foxx), the driver, hostage to keep him quiet. He underestimates Max, however, even ironically encouraging him to take charge of the situation and his life, a strategy that backfires in a most spectacular fashion. You get the impression that he'd spoken this way before, but this time Max was listening and paying attention.
The direction is inspiring, the most impressive set piece being a shootout in a nightclub, in which we see Vincent's in his element, and it's not a pretty sight. I don't think it's a coincidence that his character is drawn in shades of grey, down to the steely hair and the expensive suit that eventually comes apart at the seams. Max, meanwhile, has had enough, and flips things over in no uncertain terms.
Mann doesn't go in search of LA, merely lets it show itself to the camera, and finds it through many unusual camera angles and textures; close-ups, top-down aerial shots, monochromatic scenes with the downtown area a background rainbow blur. It's all shot on digital cameras with much use of "practical" light from fluorescents and sodium street lights, a palette of colour I'm not used to seeing on the big screen, but one I recognise in spirit from the times I've spent in various cities around the world, up way past my bedtime.
Someone on Henry St., Dublin's main shopping street, has unsecured wireless internet access. OK…
1/2 hour later: this is ridiculous. I'm sat on a bench next to the Liffey, in the heart of Dublin, with free internet access. I can't even tell whose bandwidth I've been poaching, since all three access points I've connected to had SSIDs of "Wireless", "SMC", "Apple" – the latter two being wireless equipment makers – but nothing that indicates the current owner.
In the unlikely event that an administrator logs this page's FTP upload and reads this: you're an idiot who needn't bother moaning at me, just secure your bloody network. If you don't know how, contact me and I'll enlighten you without charging my usual consultancy fee, which you probably can't afford anyway.
Last night I went to the agreed bar for the leaving bash, but no-one was there, so I went home. It was only when I was nearly home, curry in hand, when I figured that the gang probably got settled in the local pub near our offices. Being literal-minded, I assumed they would have actually done what they said they were going to do, and I was even an hour late, which cut them some slack on the timing. It seems that, after five years in Ireland, I still have not learned my lesson. Good!
This afternoon I'm checking out a film I may or may not have seen many years ago: Robin and Marian, with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. Maltin's Movie Guide says "arid, uninvolving film strips beloved characters of their magic". Huh? These characters are only "magic" if you buy into the Disney version of events.
The Robin Hood story is fiction on a historical timeline: the Disney film is set in c. 1194, ending when King Richard I (Lionheart) returned from a Crusade to find his traitorous brother John trying to usurp the throne, a plot thwarted with Robin's help. Robin and Marian starts with the death of Richard in a skirmish in 1199, leaving the throne to John, while Robin returns to Sherwood forest to look for Marian.
The gap between the two events is stretched to 16 years in the latter story, with Robin, Marian, and all the supporting characters much older, but only Marian any wiser. On neither historical occasion was Robin Hood actually involved, of course: the legend is based on accounts of thieves in two separate locations (Sherwood Forest near Nottingham, and Barnsdale in Yorkshire). That was over two hundred years later, if I understand my sources correctly.
The way Robin and Marian ends is justly celebrated, the only part I remembered. The legends have little to say about the way Robin or Marian died, so I can't begrudge the writer the chance to bring the story to a satisfying emotional conclusion.
Another Friday evening, another leaving bash to go to. This is for a guy who's been here for seven years, was in the team I used to be in before I was promoted, and was still there, until today. His departure is being regarded as serious but inevitable, considering that his current position will be outsourced to Bangalore, and a colleague of his has just been promoted. Unlike other departees, he kept his leaving email short and polite, then sent another "thank you" note to my boss that included some nice words about the help I had been giving. To be fair, I had been helping him more because he was pestering me more, but I didn't mind because he actually understands the way to do it. (If you want the right answer… ask the right question!)

An important tool to help build email lists is the Squeeze page which was discussed in my last blog. How do you get people to give you their email address on your squeeze page? Well, the most important thing to do is to give them something for free in return for their email address. Here's 10 ideas for free offers you might want to consider on your squeeze page...
1. FREE Special Report or Article
This can be a physical item that you mail out or it can be part of your Lead Capture "Thank You" page. The key is to make the shared information compelling. Solve a problem, address a fear, or give your target market a secret tip or strategy that will help your Squeeze Page visitors get what they want.
2. FREE E-Book
This can simply be in the form of a downloadable .PDF file. You can easily compose your content in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice (free at OpenOffice.org) and then just save it as a .PDF file.
3. FREE Product Sample or Trial
This is great if you are selling physical products or membership services. Remove the buying risk and build your list at the same time.
4. FREE Consultation or Coaching Session
People like the idea of talking with a real person. The Internet is usually cold and impersonal. Offering a free consultation or coaching session on your Squeeze Page also takes away a lot of fears that many people have that they are on their own to figure things out for themselves. The more you can add a personal human element to the process, the more effective you'll be.
5. FREE Software
This is similar to offering a free downloadable report or ebook. There are lots of private label rights software products that you can purchase and re-brand as your own. Just do a Google search using the term "PLR software" and you'll find lots of results. This can be a great Squeeze Page incentive depending on your niche.
6. FREE Newsletter or Mini E-Course Subscription
All you need for this one is an auto-responder and some good content. When your prospect opt-in through your Squeeze Page web form, they can automatically be added to your e-mail auto-responder campaign. This series of e-mails can include a monthly newsletter or can even be broken up into a series of training messages (i.e., an e-course).
7. FREE Novelty Gift or Trade Show Item
These physical items can be great Squeeze Page incentives, which can also be branded with your contact information, website and slogan/message. For example, I know some Internet marketers promoting fitness/weight loss products gave away free digital pedometers for opting into their Squeeze Page. This was a nice gift for those who wanted to lose weight and get in better shape by monitoring the amount of their walking/jogging. And, of course, the phone number and website address printed on the pedometer acted as a constant reminder to order/re-order the product that would assist them in their efforts.
8. FREE Chance To Win (Raffle/Contest)
Sometimes it pays to offer something of greater value than what you could offer each and every person who opts-in through your Squeeze Page. You could offer a chance to win a special prize in a drawing for every person who opts-in. Pick a specific date for the drawing and then randomly choose the winner(s). You determine the value of the prize and the number of prizes you want to give out. If done right, you should get a whole lot more valuable opt-in leads worth much more than the cost of the few prizes you give away. You may also want to give out consolation prizes for all those who participated so all your Squeeze Page Leads will feel like they got something for their time. This consolation gift can be a digital item that doesn't cost you very much, like a free ebook, special report, online presentation, etc.
9. FREE CD or DVD
This can also be a very good incentive for a Squeeze Page. It has a higher perceived value than a digital/downloadable product. Of course, there is more cost involved, but you can cover your costs by charging for shipping and handling while giving the CD/DVD away for free.
10. FREE Instant Access Online Presentation
This is one of my favorite Squeeze Page Offers. It has a higher perceived value than an audio or an e-book and you don't have to worry about shipping costs. All you need is an inexpensive digital video camera or web cam. After you record your video, simply upload it to "YouTube" or another video sharing site. Then simply copy & paste the embedded code into the "Thank You" page of your Squeeze Page. A video presentation can also increase credibility and trust with your prospects. People are much more inclined to do business with a "real person" that they can see. A video which shows you speaking directly to your prospects is so much more personal and compelling.

hi all
Yesterday I've upgraded my jessie in an acer laptop with windows dual boot, and added the non-free repositories because it was a problem with the fg3 module that wasn't installed. Now the system is not working at all.
I've looked at the journalctl and it appears a problem with the plymouth: file not found. However, in google I've noticed that the plymouth problems are not really the main issue, and they recommend to look into the fstab. I did it, by switching off everything that is unnecessary, and I'm still having the problem. Actually, in the recue mode I'm able to enter to my home, see my files, and even run programs without any problem (eg python).
In concrete, once I do a normal boot (not the recovery mode), debian freezes right after the text login appears, when it should start the graphical mode (kde in my case). Without any explanation.
Any suggestion?, this is the second laptop with dual boot whose debian stop working after upgrading Jessie.

How the Making of 'The Good Dinosaur' Was Different From Other Pixar Movies
Posted on Thursday, October 8th, 2015 by Peter Sciretta
In August 2014, we learned that Bob Peterson was removed as director of The Good Dinosaur, and co-director Pete Sohn was appointed the sole director of the project. We've heard about just how much of the film has changed under the new direction, and the word "drastic" isn't at all hyperbolic in this case. Perhaps that's why my visit to Pixar to preview The Good Dinosaur felt very different from my past trips to Emeryville.

Betty Carter was an independent artist, owning her own label in the 1970's, way before indie was an industry term. Her voice had a floating quality that Ray Charles called "haunting." From the time she was 16, and won an amateur contest, her entry into the growing jazz scene seemed charmed. She sang with Mingus, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and many other greats of her time. She was a composer and arranger, unusual for a jazz singer in those days. And she insisted that the voice was as valid an instrument as any other.
Betty hit the charts only once with Ray Charles on "Baby It's Cold Outside" in 1961. But she performed and taught until she died in the late 90s. She taught at New York's Jazz Ahead program for musicians under the age of 30. She never held back and she encouraged her students not to. She said. "Be a leader, don't follow. Do things so others follow YOU. Never hold back. Be an individual, something somebody will never forget."

text: FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 7 -- AXT Inc. has signed a one-year multimillion-dollar contract to supply MBE Technology Ptd. Ltd. with 6-inch gallium arsenide wafers during 2001. MBE Technology is a Singapore-based manufacturer of epitaxy wafers via molecular beam epitaxy for wireless handset and device manufacturers in the US. The substrate market continues to grow, driven by the demand in fiber optics, wired and wireless communications, and light-emitting devices, said Morris Young, president and CEO of AXT. Furthermore, many device manufacturers are moving from ion-implantation to epitaxy, and from 4-inch gallium arsenide wafers to 6-inch. As a result, shortages of high-quality substrates have become a concern for many epitaxy and device manufacturers.

I have updated the OP with an estimate of 65,000 LEAFs sold worldwide in 2014. This number is an extrapolation based on 50,000 LEAFs sold between February and November 2014 when the LEAF crossed the 100,000 and 150,000 marks, respectively, with a little end-of-year growth thrown in.
That puts LEAF worldwide sales at 2.25X sales of the Prius during their fourth full calendar year on the market and brings cumulative sales for the LEAF to nearly double that achieved by the Prius during their first four years and one month on the market.
In its fifth full calendar year of production, worldwide Prius sales dropped slightly during a period when gas prices were low. Likewise, the LEAF will face strong sales headwinds in 2015 due to low gasoline prices as well as the promise of longer-range EVs on the horizon. Nissan will need to at least maintain the 2014 sales rate in order to get to double the cumulative sales of the Prius during the upcoming year.
I will update the table again once worldwide sales numbers for 2014 are available.

UoN management signs performance contract with Council
The Council Chairperson (ag.), Mrs. Pascalia Koske and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research, Production and Extension, Prof. Lucy Irungu.
The University of Nairobi Executive Board has signed a performance contract with the University's Council.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, the Council Chairperson (ag.), Mrs. Pascalia Koske, noted that the performance contract has been negotiated in a manner that resonates with the public expectations, demonstrates progressive achievement of Vision 2030 Medium Term II targets, benchmarks with international best practices and is fully aligned to the University budget.
"The University is in the process of cascading the performance contract to the various levels," she said. "I call on all the members of staff responsible for the implementation of the performance contract at different levels to carry out their duties with due diligence and commitment so that the University maintains its excellence performance as it has been in the past"
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Peter Mbithi, noted that the university units had matured over time in managing the performance contract process to a point where it is now institutionalized. Prof. Mbithi said that the government has put emphasis on indicators picked from the Medium Term Plan II (MTP II) of Kenya's Vision 2030 while also focusing more on the outcomes and not processes.
"For the universities' performance contracts, great attention has been given to performance indicators geared towards delivering Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) sector," he added.
The financial year 2016/2017 performance contract puts emphasis on allocation of 30% of the procurement budget dedicated to the youth, women and people with disabilities and 40% of all procurement budget dedicated to locally produced goods and services.
At the ceremony, the Council witnessed the signing of the performance contracts between the Vice-Chancellor and the Deputy Vice-Chancellors and the College Principals.

Another burgundy look! Can you tell I'm loving this color right now? :) I got this Comme des F*down hat at American Rag with the other t-shirt I wore the other day (shown here). Dressed it up with a moto jacket for an edgy vibe.
And with Thanksgiving coming tomorrow, I am so thankful for the support and love from my friends, family, and readers. Loved ones around me are sick with the flu right now, so be careful everyone! Dress warm and drink lots and lots of liquids!
Have a very very Happy Thanksgiving! I can't wait for my thanksgiving get together with my family tomorrow (I'm going to wear my fat pants)!

It's hard to lead a healthy lifestyle when you're traveling. (especially with all those delicious croissants in France!) I'm happy to get back to my healthy meals.
Today, for breakfast, I had Oikos yogurt, with Bear Naked granola, which I tried for the first time and loved. I topped it with strawberries, raspberries and honey. I enjoyed it with a cup of Bigelow French Vanilla black tea. One of my favorites.
For lunch, I made a salad with spring greens, red, yellow & green bell peppers, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, green plums, pine nuts, and Breakstone's low-fat cottage cheese. I drizzled it with an olive oil and lemon vinagarette dressing. Salads don't keep me full for long, so I'll have to have a few snacks before dinner 🙂
Dinner is TBD!

I have to admit that many of the meals I cook are eaten in front of the T.V. I make the effort some times, setting the table and setting some mood lighting, but more often than not dinner is sprawled out over the huge coffee table in the sitting room whilst watching the telly. I'd like to say that it what I'm watching is intellectually stimulating or particularly essential viewing, but I can't. Basically, it's utter geekery like Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Spaced repeats and Life on Mars, which I missed the first time around. I'm fending off the advances of Big Brother as hard as I can, but the girlfriend keeps getting sucked in and I follow, like a sheep, either that or she's getting a fix of Extreme Makeovers: Home Edition and we stare at the screen in fascinated horror for hours until they finally move the fucking bus and you get to see what consumer durables the family get. It's like the most drawn out porno you ever saw, taking two hours to get to the money shot.
Anyway, cooking for TV viewing is a skill in itself. For preference you have to be able to eat with your hands, which is why I assume there's always a temptation to go the fast food route, which is a pity since I read that eating in front of the TV is the modern world equivalent of eating round a campfire whilst the shaman tells tales. An activity quite so ancient, even in its modern form demands something a little better than a Dominos, I reckon. I'll happily roast a chicken and steam a couple of corn on the cobs with a dollop of butter and a sprinkling of cayenne pepper for a double bill of CSI. Tapas style grazing strikes me as near perfect, a couple of warm potato tortillas and some peppers, an olive or two and a racion of jamon. Perfect for shouting at the 10 o'clock news or hiding behind the sofa with when Dr Who's on. A bottle of wine, a bowl of fettuccine and tomato sauce and an episode of The Sopranos is near perfection.
It's always soothing and comforting to be in front of the TV with something good to eat. The experience is far too depressing if the food is as shit as most of the programming, somehow it's ok if you've spent the time in the kitchen beforehand, it feels like you've paid your dues for the evening and are entitled to watch whatever you like, no matter how brain numbing.

Home is the place where we feel most comfortable and safe, no matter family members or your family possessions, we are all careful to them. keeping the family member be hurt, as well as not leting the family property be damaged and so on. Fortunately, as with the developments of smart home devices, home security is one of the most popular area to spread these devices. But what we should do when facing with it?
In fact, there are many optional ways to choose for our home security, these methods can help us protect our family members, including childrens, the eldly, even the pets. Of course, it also should include family property.
- Dogs and other pets
- Neighbourhood watch
- Home security system, such as wireless security monitor
It is better to let your dogs around your house, if there coming a stanger, the dogs may have a barking to stop him near, but I think wireless camera monitor system is not a method of completely at ease, the animal was not much smarter than man. You can image that if a thief throw a piece of food to attract his attention, and the another man can take the chance to sneak in to your home. So you should not put burden of the family safety on your pets. Some people may think about letting the neighbors to help take care of them, this is also not a good advice. after all still a distance between you and your neighborhood, he or she has their own house and thing, even though they have time to help you do a while, it is not impossible to help you all the time. Therefore, the most suitable way to protect your home is with a wireless monitoring system.
A home security system can reduce the chance of a burglar, which we have mentioned in our blog article. In an advanced system, the control box will activate a siren or other loud alarm noise flashing outdoor lights and a telephone auto-dialer. This alerts the occupants and neighbors that has broken into the house. It drives the intruder away and can inform the police which house has been broken. When you are on a vacation, you may worry about the condition of your home and your things, install a home security system in the home, you will have a relax vacation without having to worry about anything. It is possible to say that you can find a house sitter, but you should make sure that the person you choose is so reliable so that you can trust her completely while you are away. However, surveillance cameras in system used to be only for the rich, but these days, you can get a wireless monitor with wireless security camera systems for less than 200 dollars. At the same time, it is easy to install if you follow the instruction to the letter, or you may end up with no or poor-quality pictures.
Home security systems have different costs because of various bells and whistles. If you have been worried about your home and the things you keep inside your home, you should get a wireless monitor with alarm system. They will help you keep peace of mind in a reasonal price. If you own a home, you should not hesitate to use a wireless monitor. Come to http://www.jimilab.com to get one!

Someone with a 3,000-bottle wine cellar isn't a likely candidate to also own a brewery, but last fall, Mary Wolf turned from Barolos to brewskis when she opened Wild Wolf Brewing Company on Route 151. She and her husband, Doug, had been Nellysford part-timers for 14 years until Doug retired from a software business in Northern Virginia and they permanently relocated. But it was their son Danny's passion for homebrewing (discovered well before he was legal) that inspired this gig that's shaped their lives into something bigger and better than they ever imagined.
The 10-acre brewery, biergarten, and restaurant grew from a mini-microbrewery and homebrew supply shop just a stone's throw down the road, where Danny brewed 10 gallons at a time, testing out recipes, which sold out every two weeks. The hunt for an ideal location took years, but Mary kept returning to the 100-year-old landmarked building that served as Nelson County's first high school from 1910 to 1939. "This is a high maintenance property. We found things we didn't expect, but you can't replicate the charm," said Mary.
And charming it is. The biergarten is pretty as a picture and keeps true to its German roots by offering outdoor seating with gorgeous views, crushed gravel underfoot, a natural canopy of 60-year-old Siberian elm trees, lights strung overhead, and a pond with irises and koi. The old schoolhouse building houses the restaurant and kitchen and was modernized with a sports bar and a brewery building that holds a dozen 15-barrel tanks.
Back outside, a covered patio that's heated and enclosed in the winter offers more outdoor seating options, and five tobacco barns being transformed into a shopping village will sell everything from homebrewing equipment to jewelry once completed in the next year or so. There's live music Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, trivia on Tuesdays, and food specials the other nights, including summer holiday pig pickings, compliments of the new outdoor smoker and grill. A sculpture of a howling wolf (which will get painted with a different design every month) sitting amidst a pond with a water wheel serves as the brewery's mascot, and the grassy field's perfect for outdoor concerts, like the Oktoberfest planned for fall. It's a happy and happening place for tourists and craft beer-lovers alike.
And Wild Wolf's still expanding. Four 30-barrel tanks are on the way to accommodate growing demand. "I always knew we'd expand, but didn't expect it to be within six months of opening," said Mary. They opened with five beers and now with their rotation of seasonal brews, Danny, who studied brewing at Chicago's Siebel Institute of Technology, regularly makes 10. "I am blown away by how many recipes Danny comes up with, and the beers are incredible. He's like a gifted chef," said Mary.
Because beer doesn't depend on a yearly harvest the way wine does, they're always in production mode, but keep their seasonal batches small. Their fall Howling Pumpkin, for instance, required hand-roasting 800 pounds of pumpkins just for six barrels, so when it was gone, it was gone. Making enough for the brewery (where you can order flights, 2 oz. tastes, 16 oz. or 20 oz. glasses, or 64 oz. refillable growlers to-go) and restaurants like Miller's, Beer Run, Rapture, and Brixx Pizza, which regularly pour Wild Wolf brews, keep Danny plenty busy, but retail bottles are on a distant horizon.
A hoppy Imperial Wit with pear and honey that's on the current menu and brewed on the premises with beer from Blue Mountain and Devils Backbone (the other two breweries on the Brew Ridge Trail), suggests that the local brewing biz is a collaborative one. "I want visitors to have a good experience at all three and believe that the more people we bring down the road, the better," said Mary, who credits Nelson County's "perfect" water with why the area's had such success with beer.
While Danny splits his days between brewing and selling his brand from the road, Doug (who built the restaurant's tables and bar) keeps the acreage looking sharp with his new tractor, and Mary gives regular tours of the property. At the end of a long day, she sits down to enjoy what her family's created, and over a glass of her favorite Blonde Hunny Ale laughs at the irony of her stymied wine cellar, "Of course, now that I can get a great price on wine, I've absolutely fallen in love with craft beer."

Ashford University Teams Up with Operation Shower to Host Large-Scale Baby Shower for Military Families in San Diego
Forty military moms-to-be showered with baby gifts
A total of 40 military mothers-to-be were all smiles yesterday following their group baby shower presented by Ashford University and Operation Shower. The event was hosted by San Diego's Amy Mickelson, the wife of PGA Tour player Phil Mickelson, and held during the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course from 12 to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22. The shower is designed to show appreciation for the service and sacrifice of these expectant mothers whose spouses are deployed members of the U.S. Navy, U.S. Navy SEALs, U.S. Marine Corps and California Army National Guard.
"We are thankful to Ashford University and other supporting sponsors for making this event possible. For women who are expecting a new baby and whose spouses are deployed or soon to be deployed, the impending arrival of a child can be both exciting and stressful," said Operation.
Shower Founder and Chief Shower Officer LeAnn Morrissey. "Operation Shower was created specifically because military moms are typically the ones who hold it all together at home while their spouses are deployed to another part of the world and they deserve our love and support."
Each mom-to-be received Operation Shower's signature "Shower in a Box" – a gift of high-quality products for mothers and babies that have been generously donated by companies. In keeping with the theme of "Go, Baby Go!," a Radio Flyer ride-on toy and a Maclaren stroller were given to each of the moms.
For more information about Operation Shower, visit the Operation Shower website.

Dear Reader Who Walked Into My Pie Shop With A Difficult Novel In Hand,
I asked you if it was Infinite Jest you were reading. You replied that it was. I asked you if it was your first time. You replied that it was. I expressed what must have a sheer excess amount of joy, glancing at your page and imagining how much as-yet-unseen beauty laid ahead of you in the pages to come. You asked me if I meant to say that I'd read it more than once. I replied I only wished that I had, as I'd been told that the novel was more than doubly powerful upon re-read. You said you loved his work, and I -- manic with glee -- interrupted your sentence to ask you if you'd read any of his other works; you replied that you had read The Pale King, and I made motions implying that I had as well while silently cursing myself for never finishing it, disappointed that you hadn't said The Broom of the System as I would have had far more impressive things to say about that one, but I couldn't dwell for very long since you were revealing that you had come to Claremont from hundreds of miles away to see the house in which he had died (725 Indian Hill Blvd. Claremont 91711 CA, I recited to myself), which he had written down in the -- and this we said at the same time, though you winced when it happened while I grinned -- "Author's Foreword." And now I was caught in a crude caricature of one of His infamous double-binds: I was swooning at the fact that you were of my ilk, willing to journey far for a glimpse at genius, and I wanted nothing more than to sit down at your table, abandon my previous life, and begin anew with you, and at the same moment I realized how violently I was bothering you, knowing that I would have felt just as perturbed if I had sat down in what seemed to be a nice enough place to get through a few more segments of the Difficult Novel I was reading only to be bombarded by interrogatives at the hand of an overzealous food service worker. After I had finished speaking the few words I hadn't bothered to remain conscious of during my contemplation of the pros and cons of staying or leaving, I told you I would quote-unquote let you get back to it.
And I bid my adieu.
My dearest Reader, may I never see you again. For I can only hope that the thoughts spurred forth by the experience of consuming that Difficult Novel will lead you far, far, far away, far from any place that's near here. My dearest Reader, I can only hope that He can do for you what He did for me.
at 14:32 this was something I made with purpose, with words

In Your presence is where I want to dwell. Life is so time consuming. 24/7 Keeps us occupied. We are either wanting more time or pleading for it to slow. For You, Jesus, You are timeless. You are the Alpha and the Omega. You are in the morning and the evening. There is no hurried for You. We call out for You as if You have gone somewhere away from us. Lord, You're always present us with us.
"You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with you in Your presence." Psalm 16:11
We rush to You with requests, but they are already known to You. We hurry with our time spent as You are wishing we would linger more. Time. Is there never enough for us? If there is more time we just fill it with more, don't we? I wonder, Lord, how much of my time is spent with You. How much of my 24/7 have I given to You, the Maker of all the minutes that pass through my day? Not enough. Not enough.
If we lingered more, if no rush requests came from our lips as if there was no control, oh, the peace our hearts would know. The simply joy we would meet as we faced You with not requesting, but just being in Your presence. You are the All-Knowing. Where is our patience? Why is it so difficult for us to trust in You with all? If we lingered more Your sweet grace would extend from our words and actions. Your mercy that You give to us would freely be given to others more. Prayer wouldn't be a quick request followed by busyness, but a lingering conversation that takes us through the day into the night as we lay our head upon the coolness of our pillow. You would be our first and last thought.
A conversation between Father and daughter, brother and sister, friend to friend. Lord, may I not rush through today without giving thought to You. May I not hurry through our time together before my day begins, but may this day be a gift between You and I that lingers into tomorrow and continues until time just isn't known.
"The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26
"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1
"Therefore I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me." Micah 7:7
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End", says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."" Revelation 1:8

Charlie Dimmock to make TV return with new gardening show
- Bang Showbiz
- 19 January 2016
'Ground Force's Charlie Dimmock is set to make her television return, following 11 years away from the spotlight, with her new gardening show on BBC
Charlie Dimmock is set to make her television return with her own garden makeover show.
The 'Ground Force' expert, who hasn't been seen on-screen since the popular construction programme came to an end 11 years ago, is set to bounce back into the spotlight as she gets her hands dirty in a bid to transform people's back gardens into beautiful masterpieces.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Charlie is without doubt one of the biggest names in the gardening world and was part of an era when garden landscaping became unmissable TV. She is a green-fingered legend and everyone is very excited to have her back on telly.
"Her water features were particularly popular with viewers and became a recurring theme on 'Ground Force'. The show was more popular than anyone could have imagined.
"Charlie may have disappeared off telly for a while but she hasn't gone to seed yet. She was one of 'Ground Force's biggest attractions and the BBC hope she will get Britain interested in gardening again.
"They have incredibly high hopes and think the new show will really propel Charlie into the big time."
The curly-haired beauty, 49, will be joined by Chelsea Flower Show stars the Rich brothers, Harry and David, as they attempt to spruce up back gardens on a strict budget.
Meanwhile, other details surrounding the BBC show have been kept tightly under wraps, including the title, but a release date will be announced in due course.

Sometime back someone asked me why I blog. But I'll add to that, why I go to work day after day, why I attend church gathering on Sunday, why I go to the nursing home on Sunday afternoons, why I try to be a faithful husband, father, and grandfather, why I seek to follow Jesus in all of life with others in Jesus.
I hope it is because of the sense of a calling from God. Our Pastor Jack was mentioning the importance of calling at the beginning of his message yesterday. The sense of being called and having a calling from God should drive our entire existence. Of course part of that calling is to rest, and even do some things out of sheer fun and enjoyment. But much of what we do we have to do, there is a sense of responsibility, indeed a sense of being called by God to do so.
To provide for my family, to be present for them and for friends, to be a witness to the world of the good news of King Jesus, this should all be a part of fulfilling our calling from God.
A calling is in the older understanding a vocation, or what one does to make a living, or provide for one's family. Extended to that understanding is the idea of using one's gifts from God in a responsible manner as a steward, out of love for God and for one's neighbor.
Calling in scripture also extends to one's salvation in and through Jesus. It is a call into blessing both to one's self, and in scripture usually to one's entire family, and to the blessing of others. We are blessed to be a blessing as part of the called in Jesus.
This is what keeps me going and doing what I do. Whether it's blogging, or whatever else. I can think of blogging right now, because that is precisely what I'm doing. I'll be doing a good number of things today all either a part of, or related to my calling.
Without that sense of coherence in a calling which brings all of life in the world under the lordship of King Jesus, meaning can be up for grabs. There will be a sense that all is meaningless under the sun, since it all comes and goes without any underlying purpose. Although the sense of calling seems built in us humans as part of our being made in the image of God. Indeed part and parcel of that calling in the beginning was to be rulers and priests of God to and for the world of creation. In Jesus that call awaits fulfillment when the children of God are revealed in a resurrection in which all of creation will share in the new creation through Jesus. But what we do now can anticipate and somehow be taken up into that change which is to come. Even as we seek to point human beings back to God's story and how this story will at long at last be fulfilled in and through Jesus.
And so I go on, seeking to fulfill my calling from God for today. And wanting to grow in my understanding of that calling, together with others in Jesus for the world.

The eye gel has a refreshing minty feel, not greasy and helps makeup adhere better. It dries very quickly & smooths out the eye area. I don't have wrinkles showing but it really does help in smoothing out creases especially under the eye. A little goes a long way, I dip my finger in the pot and whatever adheres to my finger I gently spread it around the eye area and it is enough so the little pot can last a long time. It is my favorite eye gel for the moment and I love love (1000x) how it really lives up to its claim.
I never thought a gel could deliver moisture I was happy with but this one did the trick. Being that it's a gel, the product goes on cold and instantly starts working on my morning's puffy eyes. The Aloe in the product is very gentle to the skin in that area and I love how my make-up glides on after. The instant results alone of reducing puffiness is hard to beat and I used it with the Sano Vitamin C Serum +, just to get that extra help in my problem areas.
This is one product that I give a 100 stars. I really highly recommend it.
