New Shelby Cobra 427 S/C is emissions-free and strictly for kids
While it can't match the visceral thrills of an original Shelby Cobra 427 S/C, this scaled-down 12-volt repro variant will definitely ramp up enthusiasm in the younger set. Officially licensed through Carroll Shelby International and co-developed by Carroll Shelby Licensing and National Products Limited, the battery-powered kid-sized replicar made its debut at the 2013 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Billed as "the ultimate reward for aspiring children" this zero-emission variation on the theme will be produced in two versions: a standard model and a limited edition run of 998 - which equals the total number of all legitimate Shelby Cobras produced between 1962-67.
Also: 10 Cars That Exude Attitude
Capable of carrying a child up to 65 pounds and running for up to 45 minutes on a single charge while producing appropriate engine-like sounds, both iterations of this new Shelby Cobra feature low (2.5 mph) and high (5 mph) forward gear ratios as well as reverse. Standard mini Cobras will be finished in red or blue set off with the classic Shelby white racing stripes and details like chrome wheels, side exhausts and a rear-fender gas cap as well as a rollbar and official badging. In addition to navy blue metallic pearl paint, each limited-edition Cobra variant will have functional headlamps, Shelby's famed "98" racing number on its hood and doors, and a unique serial number that will be documented in an official Shelby Cobra 427 "ride-on" registry.
Also: 10 Best Sedans Under $25,000 for 2013
"One of the earliest photos of Carroll Shelby is of him as a child in a pedal car," noted Jimmy Chau, V.P. of Sales and Marketing for National Products. "This inspired us to give youngster a chance to follow his footsteps but in something far more powerful, a Shelby Cobra." Chau also indicated that the prototype limited edition ride-on Cobra will be used to help raise awareness about the Carroll Shelby Foundation, a organization the late racing legend established to help provide financial support for children fighting life-threatening illnesses. No word yet on pricing but the mini-scaled Shelby Cobra 427 S/C will go on sale in October at select retailers and online at www.funcreation.net.

- Hardcover: 240 pages
- Publisher: Simon & Schuster Childrens Books (20 Jun 2013)
- Language: English
- Product Dimensions: 21.8 x 14.2 x 2.6 cm "The fourth book in the series. B finds refuge with Angels, a group of teenagers who are dedicated to the task of restoring order back to the living. They are led by a mysterious, kindly doctor who can answer many of the questions that have been thrown up so far in the series -- where did the zombie virus come from? How did it spread across the globe so quickly? What sort of creatures are Mr Dowling, Owl Man and the mutants? The answers come as B trains to find out if she is good enough to serve with the Angels, but they are so terrifying and mind-blowing that B soon starts to wonder if maybe she was better off before..."- DarrenShan.com
My Thoughts:
Darren Shan has really done it again with his new book; Zom-B Angels. I mean seriously, I am impressed.
Answers are dropped everywhere. On the streets, in labs, under fish tanks and as Dr. Oystein believes; in the Bible. All those burning questions from book one finally get quenched; in a refreshing and satisfying style. I was not expecting any of the revelations provided here; and that's saying something.
As usual, Zom-B: Angels was fast paced and smooth while still maintaining substance. Landscapes and settings were easily transmitted to the readers mind; with little effort necessary. Though there was the regular amount of gore, It didn't quite feel that way. Mostly because eating human brains is the norm now; and no longer " Eww, I'm eating human jelly- I'm a horrible person!".
And that, brings me to this woman. Ciara
I thought the introduction of Zombie friendly HUMANS to the story was a great idea. Just think of all the dynamics you could bring, lessons you could teach, and the general drama that could ensue! *smiles*
On a curious note, it seems Daren Shan has taken to a new moral theme; and that theme is Religious friction. Before people get me wrong, Zom-B: Angels is by no means a religious book - and does not try to convert/scare people to or from religion. In my opinion, it simply has a light overtone about the misconceptions between religions; and how we can live prejudice-free as one. (Note: This book is YA..)
Wow, long review. Anyways; erhm..

Do Our Portfolio Websites Set Unrealistic Expectations?
December 15th, 2016
Rich in SC asks:
Do our websites set unrealistic expectations? I've shot quite a few homes now and made the transition from HDR shooting to Flash. I've taken some of my best images and incorporated them into my marketing and it's worked well. For the vast majority of shoots, my clients have loved what I provide. I try to provide consistent results as best I can, however, every now and then a Realtor or homeowner will expect that Architectural Image while paying Real Estate prices. Any effective way to deal with that? There's obviously a balance in time and money that needs to be played out.
Yes, I'm sure you are right. We put our very best shots on our portfolio sites so they will get attention for marketing purposes. Yet, each interior space we shoot contributes quite a lot a to making a stunning portfolio image.
There's no amount of attention to composition and lighting that can make a very ordinary property look like a luxury property. Kind of like the old saying "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear".
But I don't think this should make you back off on what your portfolio site looks like. I think you should do everything you can to make your portfolio look breathtaking. It's your marketing tool to get business. The vast majority of properties you shoot are not going to look good enough for your portfolio.

Summer is one of those times we spend more time in the pool and venture out to our local waterways to beat the heat. While we've all learned not to leave a pet alone in a hot car during these warmer months, there are other perils present for our pets near the pool. Here are Pool Safety Tips for your dog to keep him just like you love him- Happy and Healthy !!
Aside from some obvious dangers, like ingesting too much chlorine and other pool chemicals that can cause an upset stomach and other digestive problems, there's some lesser known dilemmas that many dogs face. For example, the surfaces that commonly surround swimming pools can become burning hot under the summer sun, so be sure they have a blanket or other surface that protects them from possibly burning their sensitive paws. You may also protect the paws with our cute doggie waterproof summer sandals.
Before Going In
You should never force an animal into the water, whether it's a swimming pool, lake, pond or other waterway. But if your animal is familiar with the water and enjoys a good swim, make sure they are also familiar with the where they can safely exit the pool. For dogs that aren't good swimmers but still enjoy a dip in these waters, consider purchasing them a life vest to keep them safe in the pool or sea.
You should never assume that any particular canine can swim since some breeds are simply not designed for floating or "dog paddling." Smaller dogs like dachshunds and breeds with broad chests and shorter legs like Bull dogs are notoriously poor swimmers when it comes to being in a pool. Other animals that have trouble in the water are:
- Basset Hounds
- Chows
- Dachshunds
- Maltese
- Pekinese
- Pugs
- Scottish Terriers
- Shih Tzu
There are also dogs that are more susceptible to a condition known as brachycephalic airway syndrome or BAS. Found in many of the dogs mentioned above, these canines often have shortened (which is brachy) heads (cephalic) that causes them to have breathing difficulties that could be problematic when swimming. While no animal or person for that matter should be left unsupervised when in the pool, pay particular attention to dogs that could struggle in the water.
Don't Forget The Sunscreen
Just like humans, dogs can be subject to a painful sunburn from spending too much time outdoors. Especially for canines with shorter hair, lighter colored coats and skin, they could benefit from the use of sunscreen. You should be able to find a pet-friendly product at most local chains or online, you may also consider using those that are child-friendly. Read the ingredients and avoid using any that contain zinc as this is very toxic for pets.
Add Some Extra Fun and Colors
Colorful doogie bikinis and swim trunks with nice patterns. And, don't forget to few dog's water toys for a perfect water time on a hot day.
After The Pool Party
Be sure to properly wash and dry your pet after they're done swimming. Be especially careful and vigilant when it comes to washing their ears and areas around the eyes. Look for any redness or other possible signs of irritation or issues from too much sun or exposure to chlorine.
As always, if there's ever a problem with your pet that's beyond your expertise, take them to see a veterinarian immediately. But for the most part, enjoy your time in the sun with your precious pooch, in and out of the pool.
Enjoy the summer while keeping your pets and family safe.

Avens Place Avens Place
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
AVENS PLACE is dedicated to provide stability as a coordinator to families with children who suffer from cancer or other life threatening conditions who urgently need support. A charity that supports families with terminal children during troubled times. This assistance is to help keep these families day to day life as stable as possible. Anyone who has experienced the strain associated with missed work, massive medical expenses and the traditional daily expenses following this type of illness can surely understand why this help is needed. During a time when families should be focused on the care and comfort of their children, help is provided to allow them to cover everyday expenses and living.
AVENS PLACE believes in devoting your time with your child with a terminal or life threatening condition is the most important thing you can do.
During this time, your focus should be on the one that desires and requires your full attention. We wish to help you so you don't have to worry about making ends meet or how you are going to get through the day. We want to help alleviate some of the stress and worries of everyday life. Your child needs you during these times as much as you need them. Our desire is to help you hold on to those moments as much as possible. Our genuine wish is to help you during this difficult time in your life.
So many families deal with so many challenges, obstacles, and struggles when caring for a terminally ill child. All effort, hope and faith is devoted to that child. There's not much room left for any thing else. But life still goes on. For these families life has come to a stand still. We are here to help them tackle the things they might need help with to keep up with life.
Imagine life as a bunch of marbles that you are responsible for and care for on a flat table. There is one big marble that represents your family. That marble is your most important marble and you will have to do anything to protect it. There are another 99 marbles that you have to care for also but take a lot less attention.
One day your big marble gets cracked and it takes all your time to kept that marble from moving, bumping into another marble, chipping away... In the mean time the other 99 marbles are slowly rolling off the table and you can't stop them or your big marble will be lost. Avens Place will help you keep you keep your marbles together.

My aunts started coming to Orange County in the '20s to swim cozy Balboa Harbor with their water wings. In the beginning, they stayed at a white clapboard hotel called the Viking, which I sure haven't seen in a while, and eventually they made a practice of renting summer homes in Laguna. By the time I started spending my summers with them, they had rather settled opinions on everything in Orange County.
Not that there was much to argue about in the restaurant department. As far as I could tell, the only restaurants in Laguna were the Jolly Roger, Diz's As Is and the Victor Hugo, which has since closed. In any case, my aunts insisted that the only good restaurants were in Newport Beach. My pheasant-and-champagne aunt liked the Arches, and my beefsteak-and-bourbon aunt preferred the Bell, which is the Five Crowns today.
It was all pretty academic to me. They weren't about to take a teen-age lout to a restaurant he couldn't possibly appreciate. As a result, I've always had a vague feeling these two places somehow wouldn't let me in. My aunts must have told on me.
It wasn't until last week that I went to the Five Crowns for the first time. It was a sentimental journey, although I know it's not really the same place, because the Lawry's corporation bought it about 20 years back (hence the new name and the sign out front reading Est. 1965). But have a little respect for a guy's sentiment.

MV Skincare comes to the UK this month
My favourite London beauty boutique Content Beauty/Wellbeing is about to become the first stockist of Australian range MV Skincare. Beauty experts like Bethan Cole and Nichola Joss endorse the brand and I'm keen to try it once I'm back to the real world as it's apparently great for sensitive skin. I have skin that gets inflamed and red at the mere thought of the elements or lesser products.
Founder Sharon McGlinchey has been creating beauty products for 13 years. The MV range features products like pure Jojoba Oil and Rose Facial Mist... the Gentle Cream Cleanser seems to have expert approval. Full ingredient lists are missing, which is a pet peeve. But there is an abbreviated list of what is and is not used in the FAQs so that's where you should start if you want to read up on the contents. The site is pretty information-rich otherwise and I'm wondering if Content will pick up MV Skincare treatments too.
It seems that Australia is exporting its beautywares more and more to the UK and beyond. Furthermore, it seems to be seriously nudging its way into the natural/organic beauty market. Kuush, Invisible Zinc, Grow and now MV Skincare. Well done down under.

Well, after 20 years of atrial arrhythmias, I find that it has now been joined by ventricular arrhythmia. These have worsened in the last few days, and I have been in hospital twice to have them checked out. I am getting frequent v. ectopics, up to trigeminy, and they appear to be related to exercise - even modest exercise, such as walking to the back fence. I've started on a low dose of beta-blockers, but to no avail so far. Am now madly thinking about what my options might be - more pills, another ablation or even a pacemaker. Going back to the cardio on Thursday - so I will see what he has to say. Google has nothing good to say about VEs, or the prognosis.
I realise that this is an atrial-focussed group, so I don't expect that folks here know too much about it. Perhaps there is an allied site for folks with ventricular issues. I tried searching through Google, but without success.
Feeling shattered here. Any comments welcome.

Lilith Tour cancels 10 dates, but L.A. stop remains intact
This afternoon the Lilith Tour canceled 10 dates on its summer concert schedule in what Lilith co-founder and Nettwerk Records President Terry McBride calls "one of the most challenging summer concert seasons." The all-female tour, which was revived this year after being dormant for a decade, is the brainchild of McBride and singer Sarah McLachlan.
In Ann Powers' recent profile of McLachlan, the singer admitted that the challenge of Lilith in 2010 was perhaps greater than when the tour started in 1996 -- not only because of the economy but because of the recent successes of women in pop and rock music:
"Maybe with Lilith, there's not so much of a need," McLachlan said, acknowledging that more women are out front in pop today than when the festival launched in 1996. "It's more of a want. One of the things I remember the most about Lilith, and that I yearn for, is that sense of community. We are in an age of technology where we sit in our little cubicles and we IM each other and Skype each other and never connect as human beings. There was an incredibly powerful and intangible feeling of being with these women."
Despite this longing for community, the challenges of the 2010 concert season were perhaps too much to sustain such an ambitious schedule.
The canceled dates are: Salt Lake City (July 12), Montreal (July 23), Raleigh (Aug. 4), Charlotte (Aug. 6), West Palm Beach (Aug. 10), Tampa (Aug. 11), Birmingham (Aug. 12), Austin (Aug. 14), Houston (Aug. 15) and Dallas (Aug. 16). Refunds are available at point of purchase.
The full text of McBride's statement:
"We are in the midst of one of the most challenging summer concert seasons with many tours being cancelled outright. Everyone involved with the tour would like to apologize to the fans and artists scheduled to play in these markets, and express appreciation for all the support for the festival's return. Lilith remains the only tour of its kind, and we are confident that fans will be amazed by what each date has to offer."
The Los Angeles date, on July 10, remains on the schedule.

Crunchyroll and Hulu offer limited selections of Korean dramas for free viewing online. More Korean drama content is available with subscriptions to these services. These dramas are licensed and fully legal to watch in the United States and are accompanied by English subtitles.
Netflix also offers a selection of Korean dramas with English subtitles, but they are not free to view. Like all other Netflix streaming content, they require a monthly subscription fee to watch. Cable networks, such as Time Warner Cable, offer limited Korean drama programming, primarily in markets with large numbers of Korean viewers.
Most Korean dramas are produced series of 12 to 24 episodes. Korean dramas typically run for a single season instead of broadcasting across multiple seasons. The exception to this is historical drama, which may have 200 or more episodes in a single series. These historical drama programs do not air as multiple seasons; all of the episodes air as one long season.
Korean drama is exported worldwide and is particularly popular in China, India, Singapore and Mongolia. Korean series have been remade in Indonesia and dubbed into Sinhalese, Filipino, Tamil and other languages. Korean drama series also air on broadcast television in Thailand, Nepal, Japan and Taiwan.

Easy Superbowl party menus
Info Guru, Catalogs.com
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Host a great Superbowl party, complete with amazing food and drinks.I love football season, and the epitome of football is the Superbowl. Every year, we get together with my parents, have some great food and cheer on our favorite team. Two years ago, our beloved Seattle Seahawks won the NFC Championship, and were headed to the Superbowl. I knew we had to have the ultimate football extravaganza, and so I went on a quest for the perfect Superbowl party menus.
It doesn't look like the Seahawks will be there this year – barring a miracle – but that doesn't mean we shouldn't all have a blast watching the big game and enjoying some great food and drinks.
Beer Margaritas
Now, I know beer is usually the beverage of choice for Superbowl party menus, but if you want to change things up a bit, try this recipe from All Recipes:
- 1 12-ounce can of frozen limeade concentrate
- 12 fluid ounces tequila
- 12 fluid ounces water
- 12 fluid ounces beer – use a light-flavored beer
- Ice
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Hot Wings
The first thing you want in a football party spread is convenience. We're talking plate-on-your-lap, napkin-tucked-into-your-shirt, no-need-for-utensils kind of food. And what fits the bill better than hot wings? Here's a recipe for hot wings I found on All Recipes.
- Oil for deep-frying
- Ľ cup butter
- Ľ cup hot sauce
- 1 dash ground black pepper
- 1 dash garlic powder
- ˝ cup all purpose flour
- Ľ teaspoon paprika
- Ľ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Ľ teaspoon salt
- 10 chicken wings
- Blue cheese salad dressing
For a great no-utensils-needed appetizer, try some pinwheels. Pinwheels are easy to make, and you can add or switch ingredients in order to personalize them.
Start with some burrito-size flour tortillas or wraps. I like the sun-dried tomato and basil flavor. Spread the wrap with some cream cheese. You can use plain or stir in some ranch dressing or use some of the pre-flavored cream cheese. Layer a thin-sliced deli meat like ham or salami and some thin-sliced cheese. You can also add some onions or peppers for a little kick. Roll the wrap tightly and secure it with toothpicks. Slice into one-inch thick wheels. These are always a hit.
Another food that is perfect for a football party is a dip with chips or veggies or bread cubes. This is my favorite dip to go with yellow corn tortilla chips. My uncle invented it for a New Year's Eve party.
Warm Cheesy Bean Dip
- 1 small box of Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 small jar salsa – medium or hot, depending on how spicy you want it
- 1 package cream cheese
Here's another dip recipe. Buy a round loaf of French bread, carve out the middle and cube it, and serve the dip inside the shell of the loaf. Dip the bread cubes and veggies or tortilla chips.
Spinach Dip
- 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 8-ounce container sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 .4-ounce packet of Knorr dry vegetable soup mix
That should get you started on a great spread for your Superbowl party. Throw in some chips and soda, maybe some cookies, and you should be all set. If you want some more great ideas, check out All Recipes or the Food Network. They've both got some great ideas for football-themed parties.

Magic Software Enterprises (NASDAQ:MGIC), a leading provider
of state-of-the-art development and integration technology, announced
today that Menzies Distribution has successfully rolled out 'Pack by Light',
a customized application developed in conjunction with Magic that handles
order lines for more than 15,000 customers each night to ensure the
successful delivery of more than four million newspapers the following morning.
Pack by Light enables managers at Menzies' thirty depots to react to the
night's events, targeting specific routes and resources to ensure
delivery times are met and updating paperwork in real time so that final
packing notes are one hundred percent accurate. For Menzies' retail
customers it is essential that they receive the exact order and on time.
Therefore not only is the accuracy of the pick paramount, but that the
impact of delays such as printing press problems, transport or the
weather are minimised. The alternative is lost newspaper sales for the
Frank Coyle, IT Director of Menzies Distribution comments, "Working
closely with Magic we have created a system that is directly suited to
the unique pattern of newspaper distribution in the UK. The flexibility
of Magic's technology has enabled us to provide an enhanced service to
our retailers. We are already planning to trial 'Pack by Light' to our
magazine distribution business in the near future."
Magic's technology provides hi-level Business Process Automation and
Monitoring with its advanced Business Rules Engine that facilitates the
rapid creation and customization of large-scale distributed applications
with complex business logic. Complete application functionality -
including data structures, business rules, program logic and
presentation - is developed entirely in a meta-data driven,
point-and-click studio environment. This eliminates need for coding or
proprietary script, freeing the Menzies and Magic's developers to
concentrate on the business issues that need to be addressed.
Pack by Light not only ensures accuracy and timely delivery, it also
cuts down on paperwork with just one set required for delivery and
returns; it ensures that each parcel is created to a uniform size and
weight, within health and safety guidelines.
Menachem Hasfari, CEO Magic Software said "This ongoing project
demonstrates Magic's commitment to providing its customers with
technologies such as Business Automation and Monitoring that address
specific business requirements and will deliver tangible results in
increased customer satisfaction and higher productivity yields. Magic's
ability to rapidly customize applications has allowed Menzies to
capitalize on their culture of open communication with customers and
staff, placing their suggestions at the center of the development to
maximize workflow efficiency. All of which makes this collaboration
worthy of its instant success."

An 'EastEnders' writer has taken to Twitter to defend one of his episodes, which included a scene that saw racist graffiti found on a sign outside the Queen Vic.
Leo Richardson penned Tuesday's (21 February) episode, in one which storyline strand saw the mood turn sour at the pub, as Mick Carter's Polish night advertisement was sprayed over by vandals with the words 'Poles go home'.
Konrad, the recently introduced Polish character, wasn't shocked, telling Mick: "It's the Britain we live in now."
However while some viewers praised the soap for tackling the topic of racism, a number weren't too happy, with some even accusing the BBC of making "post-Brexit propaganda".
In the wake of the criticism, Leo was quick to defend himself, and the episode's content, replying to a number of Twitter users:
This is far from the first time that soaps have triggered debates, and ever since they began airing, shows including 'EastEnders', 'Coronation Street' and 'Emmerdale' have been both praised and criticised for their depictions of real-life issues.
In the last 12 months alone, we've been presented with many storylines that will resonate with viewers, and topics covered carefully include male depression, stillbirth and postpartum psychosis.

- The Guardian
Early indications suggest that power generating companies (GenCo) may soon start supplying electricity directly to customers in the country.
This is as a result of the huge debt being owed the generation companies by Nigerian Electricity Bulk Trader (NBET) for electricity supplied.
The Executive Secretary of the Association of Power Generation Companies (GenCos), Dr. Joy Ogaji, stated that the association is seriously considering alternative ways to sell power. She also noted that the Nigeria Electricity Act 2005 makes provision for GenCos to generate and sell electricity directly to eligible customers.
Dr. Ogaji was quoted saying: "You must take cognizance of the fact that GenCos and DisCos are two major players in an industry that is complex, diverse and directly sensitive to both the economy and the people of Nigeria. And for that matter, they are at two extremes; generation and distribution, likewise the consumption.
"There have been blame games being played by the various players in the sector, it does not matter whose voice is loudest. NERC through its regulations have earmarked clearly what each of the players is entitled to. The onus now lies on NERC, the regulator to play its role as the impartial umpire to monitor and ensure efficiency. The issue of everyone crying wolf should be fast gone. The truth is, the generation companies have in keeping to the terms of their contract; generated power which has been sold by the distribution companies.
"We have a contractual relationship with the bulk trader and what we are advocating is, NBET keeps to the terms of the agreement and pay us in full. We are not debt collectors. We have kept to our own part of the bargain, notwithstanding the challenges.
"What we want is pay us our money. We do not have any contract with the Discos yet, to ask them to pay us, rather we have a contract with NBET who is the wholesaler in this market with a guarantee to pay us 100 per cent. If DisCos, who have contract with NBET has refused or is unable to pay for electricity taken and sold, by the principle of privity of contract, we are not parties hence we cannot be debt collectors. NBET should put a firm and default proof mechanism to make the Discos pay."
According to her, the privatisation programme was to allow government to transfer public assets in the power sector to private hands, for efficiency and cost-effectiveness, saying it was not meant to portend waving a magic wand.
She highlighted that, right from inception, the GENCOs were contractually obligated to ramp up electricity generation capacity by about 5,000 megawatt MW over a five-year period. "We are in the third Year and we have an available capacity of over seven thousand megawatts if the transmission companies can transmit it," she added.
Ogaji disclosed measures put in place by the Gencos and expectations from the federal government to grow operations in the sector, saying expansion plans are in the pipeline.

My friend Wendy has persuaded me to join my first ever swap! This is the February ATC (Artist Trading Card) swap, and I'm really excited about it. I've always thought I hadn't really got time to do swaps, because when I've got the energy to do anything creative, it's to complete projects I have to do for people's birthdays etc. etc., but I thought, ATCs are small so don't take too long, and it would be fun to have a go!
The theme for this month's swap is "Love/Valentine" (of course!), so I decided to do something with hearts and a red colour scheme. When I was at the craft show I bought some scrim from the mixed media stand and have been keen to try it. It's a natural, unbleached colour, so I cut some small rectangles (really difficult to handle, so I damped it a bit, which made it a lot easier) and then I swiped my Fired Brick Distress Ink pad across my craft mat, spritzed it with water and mussed the pieces around in it till they were a nice shade of red. Afterwards I dried them using my heat gun.
I've got some lovely hand-made paper with leaves in it, and I tore some little rectangles from this, and hand-wrote some words on them. The "Love" ones I stuck with photo-mount spray adhesive to the dyed scrim pieces.
I created the background paper with Serif Craft Artist Platinum, the new digital scrapbooking software that I recently obtained – and still have to learn how to use. What I wanted was a hand-made paper look, with a small repeating pattern on it, which in this case is made up of two different heart embellishments.
The top part of this background paper was torn, and overlaid onto a piece of black and pink Core-dinations card which I scored in close parallel lines on my Scor-Pal board, and then sanded, exposing the pink core on the raised parts. This Core-dinations card forms the basis for the ATC.
I cut two hearts for each ATC, one in bright red and the other in darker red, and stamped the bright red one with a darker red ink. The hearts were then hand-embossed from behind, and adhered to the ATC with Pinflair glue to prevent them being squashed. The text pieces were then added, using photo-mount spray adhesive.
I printed the clock face images onto card, and cut them out by hand, and then picked out the Roman numerals with Perfect Pearls, using a very fine watercolour brush.
Finally, I punched out some small hearts from gold paper and stuck these randomly onto the card. I had designed some ATC labels on the computer, using a hand-written script which I have converted into a font, and I glued these onto the backs of the ATCs, completing the details (title, date, etc.).
They have now been sent off, and I look forward to seeing what lovely ATCs come back to me at the end of the month!

Approximate Solution for Unconfined Seepageby Chandrakant S. Desai, (M.ASCE), Res. Civ. Engr.; Soil and Rock Mech. Branch, USAE Waterways Experiment Station, Vicksburg, MS,
Serial Information: Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division, 1973, Vol. 99, Issue 1, Pg. 71-87
Document Type: Journal Paper
An approximate solution procedure by using the finite element method is developed for one-dimensional unsteady free surface seepage. The numerical results are compared with experiments on a viscous flow model and with analog solutions. Satisfactory correlation is obtained between the numerical and experimental results. The results from the proposed procedure based on one-dimensional formulation are also compared with those from two- and three-dimensional formulations. Numerical properties of the proposed procedure with respect to timewise and spatial discretizations, magnitudes of permeability, and use of higher order approximating functions are analyzed also. It is found that the proposed solution can provide satisfactory and economical solutions for many practical problems that can be idealized as one-dimensional.

Everyone loves riding a zipline so it's natural to want to bring one to your own back yard. But don't be like this guy and make one by yourself unless you want to eat out of a straw for weeks.
It's like I mentioned during that video of the Sky Sports reporter falling on live TV earlier this week: The act of falling down isn't what makes these videos. The sounds the person unleashes afterwards are what defines their greatness. Based solely on vocals, this guy either cracked his spine or had the most intense orgasm ever and either way I salute him for his commitment to brightening my day with his pain.

On this the 2nd anniversary of Pride's Purge – a really big and sincere thank you to all the readers and supporters of this blog.
Since I started this blog, I get insulted and trolled on social media on a daily basis. I've been threatened with libel so many times I've lost count. And I've even received threats of violence and death.
Don't get me wrong though – I'm not complaining. If truth be known, my ego loves the attention. In fact I'm quite fond of the trolls. They might be trolls but they're my trolls.
Joking aside, I have to admit, when I started this blog just 2 years ago I had no idea how hard it would be to speak freely and to tell the truth.

'Morning at the Summer House'. 8x10. Pastel. Karen Margulis
Time has passed quickly yet has also stood still. Our four day workshop passed in a blink of the eye yet we felt like we were together as friends for a long time. It was sad to say goodbye to new friends. I had decided to stay on for a couple of days. I'm glad I did. It gave me a chance to slowly unwind before starting the trek back to the U.S. By train and plane.
We mostly sat at the table in the summer house and watched the sea. It changed constantly. It would be as smooth as glass one minute and deep blue and choppy the next. We watched for the swans and duck families to swim into the cove. We talked art and exchanged ideas. We listened to Finnish music and drank coffee....lots of coffee.
I will be traveling home over the next two days and I will have time to reflect on my adventures and write down my thoughts. My regular blog posting will resume with a more detailed look at my trip and the logistics of traveling and painting for a month. Stay tuned!

We love to travel and learn about the world – better still when it involves beautiful, juicy coconuts!
You see, we're passionate about all things coconuts and we truly believe that, after years of scouring the globe for the freshest, most delicious oils on the planet, we've finally found the countries (and producers) who make the very best.
We're lucky enough to source our extra virgin coconut oil from some of the world's most beautiful countries and we never tire of immersing ourselves in each country's unique and wonderful cultures.
Nowadays, our jars can wing their way from the Philippines, the Solomon Islands or Sri Lanka, right into your kitchen cupboards. Yet, while most would be happy just to enjoy their delicious coconutty flavours, we don't want to stop there.
Instead, we want to dedicate ourselves (and you, our customers!) to improving the way of life for our coconut farmers and their families. As part of that, we think it's pretty important for us to learn all that there is to know about these exotic countries.
Want to find out more? Then sit back and enjoy as we prepare to take you on a journey to one of the world's most beautiful and far-flung places. Welcome to the Solomon Islands, home to just one of our Lucy Bee producers…
With cobalt seas, huge lagoons and snowy white sands, the Solomon Islands look every bit like paradise. Based to the south-east of Papua New Guinea, these volcanic islands jut from the water like something from a dream. Here, you can expect croc-infested rivers, coral-surrounded beaches and soaring mountains, all blanketed in lush, emerald rainforest.
These tropical islands are dotted about the South Pacific in a gentle curve and are made up of an archipelago of 992 tropical islands and atolls. Just over half a million people live on the Solomon Islands, although the country's capital – Honiara – is by far the busiest area and is tucked away on the island of Guadalcanal. The islands themselves are grouped into nine regions, each with their own little government and their own customs.
So, what of the people? Well, most of the people who live here are known as Melanesian, although there are plenty of ethnic minorities including Polynesian, Micronesian, Chinese and even European communities.
Surprisingly, the official language here is English (Queen Elizabeth rules sovereign here), although many don't actually speak it and communicate in Pijin instead. Perhaps because of the island's British roots, nearly everyone – a massive 90%, in fact – is Christian.
However, what we find truly amazing - especially given the crystal waters and the beautiful landscapes – is that the islands here are largely unspoiled, even by tourism. Of course, slowly but surely the word is spreading, and more and more eco-tourists have started flocking here to see the islands in all their technicolour glory.
You see, not only are the Solomon Islands renowned for their biodiversity and incredible waters for diving but they're also home to thousands of exotic plants, marine life and animals. In fact, many of the wonderful species here are native only to these amazing islands.
We'll go out on a limb here and say this: if you love culture and history, then you'll be fascinated by these ancient islands. We never stop being amazed by some of the incredible things we learn about the Solomon Islands, which is partly why we're so excited to share it with you here!
So, what's the big deal? Well, they're pretty old, for starters - archaeologists have found evidence that people lived here in caves as far back as 1300-1000BC. Some even believe that Papuan-speakers arrived here as early as 30,000 BC after making their way over from South Asia.
However, we have to wait quite a few years (thousands, in fact) before the first European stumbled across these lovely islands. The first ever European to find his way to the Solomon Islands was the famous Spanish explorer Mendana in 1568, who arrived here from Peru. Before the Europeans got here, the people of the Solomon Islands were supposedly notorious for headhunting and even cannibalism!
Legend has it that it was Mendana who first named the country - Isle de Solomon - after the wealthy King Solomon and the biblical land of gold. Slowly but surely, Mendana was followed by missionaries, traders and labour recruiters from countries across both Europe and Asia.
However, unfortunately the labour trade here became more and more of a problem, with many labourers kidnapped or even massacred. So much so that the British had to step in with a protectorate and, by 1900, the Brits ruled the islands completely, taking the Solomon Islands under their wing from Germany.
It was during this time that British (and many Aussie) companies started to grow a love for the island's lovely coconuts, planting lots of plantations dotted around the islands. Lots of missionaries also came over during this time, converting most of the island to Christianity.
Fast forward a few years and the Second World War was to spell trouble for these beautiful islands, with much of the fighting focussed here. In fact, things got so intense that many coconut planters and traders were evacuated to Australia and almost all cultivation ceased.
Heartbreakingly, there were heavy losses of life on all sides. To this day, names of key battle sites - Bloody Ridge, Red Beach, to name just a few - remain to mark the brutal campaign.
One of the biggest moments came in July 1942 when Guadalcanal was invaded by the Japanese. Since it's so close to Australia, the island was seen as a stronghold but the American Navy soon stormed the island, catching the Japanese completely by unawares.
For months, though, the Japanese held their own and holed up in caves, where they sprayed approaching marines with gunfire. Eventually – after months of incessant fighting - the Japanese withdrew completely.
Slowly but surely, the islands started to recover from the war, forming their own local councils to bring the country back into balance. Eventually, the country gained independence from Britain in 1978, just a few short years after Papua New Guinea took its own independence back from Australia.
However, life here hasn't been easy breezy since. Since 1998, tribal rivalries and ethnic tensions have erupted, causing widespread fighting, particularly between militants on the island of Guadalcanal, who launched a campaign of intimidation and violence towards Malaitan settlers.
As a result, around 20,000 people abandoned their homes, with many leaving Guadalcanal for good. Meanwhile, a rival militia group, the Malaita Eagle Force (MEF) was launched, with fighters staging a coup in June 2000 to force the then prime minister to resign.
A few months late, an Australian-brokered peace deal was signed but fighting and lawlessness continued and the problems seemed to grow and grow. So much so that Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific Island neighbours to step in and negotiate peace.
To this day, there are problems and the civil war had left the country in ruins. In fact, the World Bank says the Solomon Islands, one of the Pacific's poorest countries, has been hit by successive global food, fuel and financial crises.
As you may expect, life on the Solomon Islands can be completely different from one island to the next. In fact, pretty much every tribe has its own traditions and "kastoms" (a Pijin word for 'customs'), supposedly handed down from ancestral spirits. Many of the villagers here are so dedicated to their own clans, that there's even a special word for it, "wantok".
This word shows just how important kinship is to the people here, who feel a huge duty to those who speak the same language as them (amazingly, there are 63 languages spoken here). Although the official language may be listed as English, only around 2% of the people actually speak it.
Oddly, there are even people here known as the "Salt Water" or "Solwata" (in Pidgin) people, who live on man-made islands. These islands are built using incredible skills handed down from generation to generation, with the oldest of these islands (Sulufou) home to around 2000 people.
If you were lucky enough to visit many of these islands and you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stepped back in time. There are plenty of ancient traditions still in place and even money is a fairly new concept – bartering and shell money (you read that right) are often used as currency instead.
Here, the way of life is fairly simple. Think lots of fishing, hunting and crop growing, while the majority of homes will be bungalows built from timber or cement, with corrugated roofs. As you might expect, electricity on many of these islands is pretty much non-existent, as is transport and phones.
Traditionally, there are also very distinct roles for men and women, all dictated by "kastom". Household tasks will often fall to the women, while men are responsible for building canoes, hunting, and fishing. Marriages will also usually be arranged and men must look away when talking to a woman who isn't family out of respect.
While Christianity is a big part of life here, there are also plenty of superstitions and ghostly tales in villages. Traditionally, Solomon Islanders believe that ancestors, although invisible, linger with their own ghostly presence. In fact, many people here will often summon them for help, or even ask them to curse their enemies!
Many of the islanders are also big believers in animism (the idea that animals are spiritual beings with souls). Because of this, the people here will be very considerate of animals and there are even plenty of totem gods – people living inland worship crocodiles, snakes and the owl, while coastal people worship sharks and stingrays.
So, what of the food? You can expect plenty of simple, delicious and nutritious grub – typical dishes include fish, chicken, pork, coconut, sweet potatoes and taro (a potato-like veggie with a nutty taste), although much of what's eaten is simply what's available at any given time.
While many developing nations are going through something of a boom, the Solomon Islands is lagging behind and is still recovering from a recession in the early noughties. Sadly, with just $3,400 GDP per capita, these tranquil islands are classed as a lesser-developed nation and poverty is a huge problem for many villagers.
Incredibly, over three-quarters of everyone who works here don't even do it for money. Instead, they do things such as fishing or farming to support their families and other villagers. And even when people start businesses, they're small and aimed at villagers – think selling rice, biscuits, food, twisted tobacco, or corrugated roofing sheets.
When it comes to exports, the country is mainly famed for its palm oil, copra (dried coconut), cocoa, fish, and timber, which get shipped out to Japan, the UK, Thailand, Germany and Australia. However, much of the land here is impoverished and can also be wiped out by tropical storms.
Tourism is also a huge part of this nation's future although, as we mentioned, it's still largely unspoiled and undeveloped (especially when it comes to transport!), putting many people off. This beautiful country has started to become dependent on foreign aid from across the world.
School isn't even compulsory here and just 60% of kids have access to a primary school. This gets even worse when children are secondary school age – just 32% of boys attend school and only 27% of girls.
The problem is that there's a huge lack of government funding - the percentage of the government's budget allocated to education dropped to 2.2 per cent in 2010 from 9.7 per cent in 1998.
Given this, it's no surprise that very few people here are literate. With only 17% able to read, the literacy rates in the islands are one of the worst in the entire Pacific.
Sadly, as the poorest country in the Pacific, one of the biggest problems facing the Solomon Islands is poverty. Close to 23% of people live in poverty here, which became a growing problem following the civil war.
A problem which only grows worse when you consider all the natural disasters that hit these islands. For starters, there was a Tsunami in 2013, triggered by a huge earthquake which destroyed thousands of homes. As if that weren't bad enough, tens of thousands of people in Honiara were left homeless by flash flooding and heavy rains that hit the islands in 2014.
It's legal to work here from the age of 12. It's a catch 22, really – to overcome the crippling poverty, many parents and families make their children work (including many young girls who work as servants), with as many as 24% of children between the ages of 10 to 14 years in child labour.
So many of us take everyday things for granted. Things like education, food on the table, a warm bed and clean water. Yet, for these villagers, none of these things is guaranteed – and more than 70% of the population, especially those in rural areas, don't have access to proper sanitation.
Heartbreakingly, 19% can't even get hold of clean water and this is a leading cause of death in young children. One quarter of the deaths in young children is preventable and is due to something as simple as diarrhoea, triggered by poor hygiene.
There's a huge problem with malnutrition in kids, too, with many unable to enjoy nutritious, healthy meals. In fact, around one third of youngsters here have stunted growth, while 5% are completely emaciated.
As you can probably tell, poverty plagues the islanders' health, meaning many diseases – including things as simple to treat as diarrhoea – are rife in villages.
These illnesses come from the villager's dependency on open water sources, which is often contaminated by animals or the villagers themselves.
Meanwhile, the Solomon Islands has one of the highest incidences of malaria outside Africa. As if that weren't bad enough, there's even been a surge in so-called lifestyle diseases - including heart problems, stroke, cancer and diabetes - thanks to a growing dependency on imported, processed foods like canned meat, white rice and flour and sugar.
Sadly, it's not always easy to treat these illnesses since reaching basic health facilities often takes days of travel. Even then, the very basic medical supplies that are available to villagers will often run out, while the country's poor economy means that many hospitals have been forced to close.
You see, simple things, that we often take for granted here in the UK, go amiss here, and there's also a huge shortage of doctors – the island is one of 57 countries deemed to have a critical shortage of health workers – with as few as 0.21 doctors for every 1,000 people.
Given all this – and the fact that the islanders are hugely superstitious – perhaps it's no surprise that many will turn to traditional healers when they're sick. In fact, most villagers believe that every disease has a spiritual cause, and "kastom" medicines and healers are widely used to treat all sorts of problems – diarrhoea, malaria, ulcers, diabetes, STDs, cancer, asthma and high blood pressure.
In a country where poverty and disease is rife, coconuts offer islanders a lot of hope. In fact, they are one of the most important crops on the Solomon Islands, where a flabbergasting 600-800 million are produced each year.
That's a lot of coconuts…
Yet while that does provide a ray of hope, the problem is that a lot of these coconuts are inaccessible. Or, if villagers can access them, the cost of transport is so high that it cripples any potential businesses.
Thankfully, that's where a nifty little technique called Direct Micro Expelling – or DME, to keep things easier – comes in. DME is how our very own Lucy Bee coconut oil is made and it's designed to support those tiny, remote villages in the Solomon Islands that have little in the way of technology.
You see, DME is the fastest imaginable way of producing extra virgin coconut oil in these remote, far-flung areas and was first introduced by a British scientist on the atoll islands of Tuvalu.
So, how does it work? Well, using this method, de-husked and fully mature coconuts will be split in half, before the fresh flesh is grated from the nut. Small batches of this grated flesh (think 10 to 15 coconuts worth) will then be dried on a stainless steel drier, which is fuelled with coconut shell! How clever is that?
All in all, the coconut only needs to be dried for about half an hour before it's tipped into a stainless steel cylinder to go through a manually-operated press. This step is also super quick, meaning our Solomon Islands' extra virgin coconut oil is about as fresh as you could ever hope to buy.
Don't skip breakfast! It kick-starts your metabolism and helps you to be alert and awake throughout the day. It also helps regulate your blood sugar levels, so make sure to have a wholesome and nutritious breakfast each and every day!

Dr Zakir Naik who was online via Skype from Medina in Saudi Arabia to address the media had a lengthy interaction with them on Friday.
Accusing Times Now Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami in specific for making false allegations against him, Dr. Naik called him as a 'chooha' (mouse), and issued an open challenged to Goswami to come out and have a debate with him.
"Studio ke andar chooha bhi sher banta hai, sher ka bachcha hai to bahar aao!" (inside a studio, even a mouse feels like a lion, if you're a lion cub, step out!)," said Naik to Arnab.
Dr Naik hit out at Arnab for terming him a terrorist "Listen what Arnab Goswami says. He said anyone who supports terrorist is also a terrorist. Does he know there are millions of people watching my channel? I have million of followers across the world. All these people, according to Arnab Goswami, are terrorist. I want know how big is you prison," said Naik in the press conference.
"I challenge Arnab Goswami to come on neutral platform rather than holding an agenda-driven debates," said Zakir Naik.
