How to: make BATH BOMBS
Everybody loves BATH BOMBS!!! They are so colorful and funny to make a simple bath become an amazing experience of relax,fun and aromatherapy!
You can find them in the stores in many colors,scents shapes...but what about creating them at home,with your favourite scents and colors??? Maybe adding some glitters or dryed flowers??
(I'm sure you're running to get the apron! )
Now I'll teach you a simple way to do them,the same recipe that I do for mines. =) Don't worry,it's easy and you don't need strange or dangerous ingredients
You'll need:
- a large bowl for the dry ingredients
- a small bowl for the wet ingredients
- a spray bottle for the water
- spheric moulds (for the classic round bath bombs,but you can use every other kind of mould)
Baking Soda - 8 ounces
Citric Acid - 4 ounces
Corn Starch - 4 ounces
Water (put it in the spray bottle)
Essential or Fragrance Oil
Oil (olive oil or sweet almond oil will work - I use sweet almond)
Food coloring - 1 or 2 drops.
Mix in the large bowl all the dry ingredients. Mix very well.
Mix in the small bowl all the wet ingredients (except the water that must be poured into the spray bottle).
Now mix carefully but as fast as you can the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient's bowl. If you see that the powder starts fizzing, mix fast and this will stop the reaction.
Now you should have a soft colored and scented powder, not too dry and not too wet.
Spray water 3 or 4 times and mix mix mix very fast to avoid it fizzing.
Now you should have reached this consistence
Press the mixture in the moulds; if you're using the spheric moulds (that can be found as christmas decorations in many stores) press well the mixture in each half mould and then press well the 2 half moulds together.
If you want to add something on the top of the bomb (glitters,dry flowers,herbs,sprinkles..) put it in the bottom of the half mould before filling it with the mixture.
You don't need to leave them in the mold for very long, and in fact can tap them out as soon as you fill them.
Leave them drying for some hours.
Tutorial by Bella, pics are taken from google (if anyone has problems please convo me and I'll delete them. Thanks for the collaboration. <3 )

How To: Felted soap
Today I'll feature a super kind seller but I won't feature her by showing her items, but showing her Felted soap tutorial!
The name of the author is Beckyrose and you can find her blog here http://beckyrosedesigns.blogspot.com/

How to: Felted Soap
Felted soaps have been one of my best selling items, probably due to a combination of several facts- they're fun, extremely functional, make great gift, unusual, and less expensive than anything else in my store.
For a while I've been planning on putting together a tutorial on how to make them so that you can all give it a try! I will try to explain everything in a way that someone who has never felted before can understand. Also, if there is anything you don't understand please ask me questions and I would be happy to add that information in.
First off for those of you who are thinking "ok, that's nice, but what on earth is felted soap??" here's the basic description that I include in my etsy listings-
"Felted soap functions as a built in washcloth and gently exfoliates while creating a lovley lather. Just wet, rub a little to get sudzy and use! As the soap is used up the felt casing will shrink with it until it gets very small allowing you to use every last bit as well extending the life of your soap. Once the soap is gone you will be left with a small, great smelling, felt pouch that can be cut open and used to put something special in, or kept as a shower scrubby to use with the other fabulous handmade soaps from etsy."
The basic idea behind wet felting is that agitation, hot water, and soap cause the wool fibers to tangle more and more tightly together and eventually become a solid piece of felt. Felted soap is a great introduction to wet felting because the soap is already part of it, and it is a small project so it goes relatively quickly and you can get the feel for felting before going on to bigger projects.
I would recommend starting out making only one at a time, until you get the hang of it. I usually do 3 or 4 in a sitting but then my hands get so soaplogged (you know how your fingers get all shriveled up and waterlogged when you've been swimming for too long? it's like that but you have soap in your fingers) that I can't stand it any more and need to take a break. The funny part about that is the next time you go to wash your hands they're already soapy.
Let's get started!
You will need:
-a towel
-wool (I use merino because it is the softest and also wet felts more quickly than other types)
-a bar of soap
-hot water (in a bowl, or a squirt bottle)
-(optional) a piece of rubber or plastic mat
Lay the plastic mat on top of the towel (if you don't have a rubber mat
I would reccommend doing this on a plastic table top or some
other surface that won't be damaged by water.
Step 1: (skip if you only have one color of wool)
lay out little wispy bits of wool in the pattern and color that you want, if you would like a really specific design lightly needle felt it together first but only enough that it stays put. I like to play with color in more abstract designs and see what happens.
Step 2:
Begin drafting out THIN strips of wool vertically (I usually use all one color at this point, but you can certainly keep using as many colors as you want) make an even layer in a square about 4 or 5 inches on each side for a normal bar of soap, if it's smaller or larger compensate for that size difference by making the area that you are laying wool out a bit bigger or smaller.
Step 3-5:
Lay out wool in the same manner going horizontally, then diagonally one way and then diagonally the other way. Pat it, it should have an even thickness and not show through to the mat/table in any places, it should be a bit poofy, but not super thick. Then put an extra horizontal piece and vertical piece in the center. The reason for going all different directions is it gives the wool more places to tangle, the barbs on the individual strands of wool all go the same direction so if you lay them against each other facing opposite ways they will snag on eachother more readily.
Step 6:
Ok, now plop your soap diagonally in the middle.
And start to fold in the corners one at a time
Wrap it up like a nice little present.
If there is a color that you like that's being covered up, just pull it out from underneath and lay it lightly over the top wherever you want it.
Now flip your nice little package over so that the weight of the soap holds the folded pieces in place. Check to make sure there are no thin spots where the soap shows through, if there are, unwrap it and fill in those places with more wool.
Now you're ready to start felting!
Step 7 (I think, yeah, we'll just call it 7):
Get your bowl of HOT water. Not so hot that you burn yourself,
but close.
Drip water onto the top of the soap, if you have a squirt bottle you can just squirt a little out.
Pat gently.
Using your other hand to cup the side, drip water on each side, patting gently afterward.
What you are trying to do right now is to get all of the
wool just a little bit wet.
Once you have wet the top and sides flip the soap over, the water should have pooled enough to wet the underside. Pat gently. If there is a lot of water pooled around the soap, dump some back into the bowl.
Continue to work your way around the bar patting all sides DO NOT RUB! Rubbing at this point could cause bits to stick up and become "dread locks" or pull the wool away from parts causing holes where the soap sticks out.
Keep patting... spend at least 10 minutes patting your first time, eventually you will learn to recognize when you're ready for the next step and it may take less time. This step is the felting part, you are making all the different layers of wool stick together.
After a while it will change, you'll know what I mean, see how different the texture looks in the picture? It will also have shrunk a bit around the soap so that it is more fitted to the shape of the bar.
Step 8: Fulling, I couldn't get any good pictures of this because I was using both hands and they were covered in soap suds so hopefully I can explain well enough.
Fulling is the final step to felting where you agitate the wool and it shrinks and becomes more solid. Before this step you can still pull off the fiber without too much trouble if you wanted to, after it you would need scissors or a lot of patience to rip it open.
I usually do this part near a sink because it can get kind of messy and you have the hot and cold right there. Otherwise, get a bowl/bottle of really hot water and one of cold water. The temperature change helps make the fulling process go faster because it opens and closes the scales of the wool. Also, rinsing in cold water at the end helps get the suds out of the wool casing.
Begin by wetting with hot water and rub very gently someone once told me to rub it like it was a baby bunny, I think that's a good motivation for just how gently you should rub at first if you rub hard you could still pull it apart or create dreads. Use a circular motion and try to rub equally on all sides. As it gets soapy rinse it off in alternating hot and cold water, you should feel it start to tighten up after a few minutes, as it does you can rub harder, rotating it around in your hands. If you have a washboard or something textured you can rub it against that for extra agitation.
When you think it's done, keep going, just a bit longer.
Final rinse in cold water, squeeze dry in a towel and place in a well drained place to dry, I use a dish drying rack.
TA DA! Felted soap!
Have fun and we'd love to see pictures of what you make :)

I'd say that shiz don't fly in NYC either, but I don't hang with the fashion elite.
I love it. Had to do the DIY version the minute I heard about it. If you're going to wear this look, you have to own it. And I do.
Hmmm…yah not for me. Def not in So Cal! I remember my old roomie from London would always wear hats and I just thought she was nuts. Had no idea that's what the rest of civilized society does!
Congrats on your office space! You just have to do what you have to do. Great idea to dedicate a drawer to footwear rather than files:)
Amy R.
{plain & fancy living}
Yay for those ballsy enough to wear them! I live in NYC but not nearly as ballsy as I need to be 🙂 xoxo
LOVE IT! But love those… I've seen a lot of rinkie-dinkie ones in ALDO, department stores, etc… they are horrible. Those that you posted are classic. Can we talk about the makeup? Look at the contour on their cheeks! AmazeNUTTERS!
it's so cute! I also think I might get a few weird looks, but all groundbreaking looks do:)
def. nay for me, although these women pull it off perfectly. like you said, if i lived in nyc or outside of the u.s. then maybe 😉 😉 {not a west coast thing}
Whoa, where have I been? I haven't seen this before. Yeah, people around our parts would not get it. Actually, I don't know if I even get it.
I'm gonna have to go with Yay if you can pull it off but a Nay for moi.
Strange…it looks good on the gorgeous ladies above though (and so would anything else). 🙂
Nay. Unless your name is Victoria Beckham. Than you can wear whatever strikes your fancy.
Or yay if you are going to really own the look (like these ladies). Then that's cool. 🙂
XO – Marion
These are something I wouldn't have thought of, so they have that going for them. Maybe it's that I don't do beanies? I think I'd stick with the traditional caps, but more power to anyone who rocks one and manages to look good in it 😉
Not for me.. looks wonderful on the models 🙂

Regulator of fatwas on the anvil
THE ULEMAS ? Muslim religious heads ? on Monday decided to set up a body to monitor the issue of fatwas and other religious edicts. The decision follows a sting operation by a television channel in which three clerics were caught on camera allegedly taking bribes for declaring fatwas.india Updated: Sep 19, 2006 01:33 IST
Deoband angered by cash-on-cam clerics
THE ULEMAS — Muslim religious heads — on Monday decided to set up a body to monitor the issue of fatwas and other religious edicts. The decision follows a sting operation by a television channel in which three clerics were caught on camera allegedly taking bribes for declaring fatwas.
Meerut Naib Qazi Jenur Rashideen told reporters that at a late-night meeting attended by ulemas and qazis, the mosque management decided to set up a body, the Darul Ifta, to monitor the declaring of fatwas. While Rashideen will head it, prominent clerics will be its members.
A TV channel had shown a few clerics — among them, Mufti Habibur Rehman of the Islamic seminary Darul Uloom Deoband, Maulana Imran of Meerut's Shahi Jama Masjid and Ahmed Nadir Al Qasmi of the Delhi-based Islamic Fiqh Academy — allegedly agreeing to issue fatwas on a variety of activities, including the use of credit cards and camera phones by Muslims, acting in films and watching TV, in return for money.
While Habibur Rehman is suspended as the chief mufti of the seminary's fatwa department, Imran has been removed from the mosque's clergy. Rashideen constituted an 11-member committee to probe the fatwa racket while Darul Uloom Vice-Chancellor Marghoobur Rehman set up a four-member panel to investigate the matter.
"It may be a conspiracy to malign the image of this world-famous seminary," said Marghoobur. If Habibur Rehman is found guilty, he will be dismissed. Otherwise, Marghoobur said, the seminary would initiate action against the television channel.
Habibur, however, has refuted the charges levelled against him.
Senior clerics of the Deoband seminary asked the community to seek fatwas from reliable institutions to ensure their legality.
In Meerut, the peace of namaz was disturbed as the faithful refused to offer prayers under the head of Imran of the Nakkarchiyan Mosque. He apologised to the community admitting that he took money to release fatwa. He, however, said the channel people kept him in the dark and urged for a fatwa for the sake of Islam.
Rashideen told reporters that Imran had been asked to leave Nakkarchian-Gudri Bazar locality,
Meanwhile, an emergency meeting was called at the Jama Masjid of Meerut led by Shahar Quazi Zenus Shajidin. A committee was formed to probe into the matter and Imran was terminated from his post of imam. While a few religious leaders lashed out at the TV channel for maligning the image of the community, the All India Milli Council announced "a social boycott" of those involved in the fatwa racket.

Woo Hoo!! The scales are moving in the right direction!! I am struggling soooo much with the last 8lbs of baby weight, oh, and some days the last 15lbs of baby weight!! The scales are finally moving in the right direction again, and this time I am determined to keep the numbers getting smaller!!
I see woman with babies much younger than mine, and they look fantastic. Its so heartbreaking to know how hard I have worked, and how I am still not there!! I found the following quote, and its true. Those girls who are back to pre-baby weight in a few weeks are so lucky, but my fight with my weight loss is making very strong.
I have a constant battle with eating whatever I want, and eating responsibly. I want to be in my skinny jeans so badly, but I want that piece of cake, I want to go to Red Robin for a sandwich and fries, or KFC for some hot wings once in a while, I want that glass of wine!!
The reality of it all is I can have all those things/treats that I want so badly! I just have to earn it. I have to go for a run, or work out, or do enough exercise to incorporate those extra calories in my diet. That is why fighting to be skinny is making me stronger. It is forcing me to do that exercise on the days I am not wanting to get out there. I will keep fighting! I will comfortably wear my skinny jeans!!
Keep Fighting!!

What: The Echoes of their Wings: The Life and Legacy of the Passenger Pigeon, an illustrated presentation and book signing
Who: Joel Greenberg, Project Passenger Pigeon and Field Museum
Where: Wagner Free Institute of Science, 1700 West Montgomery Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19121
Website: http://wagnerfreeinstitute.org/syllabi%202013-14/PassengerPigeon.htm
On September 1, 1914 the world's last passenger pigeon, Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoo. How did this species, once the most abundant bird in North America and possibly the world, disappear so rapidly?
Unlike any other bird, the passenger pigeon likely numbered in the billions and often formed vast, unimaginable aggregations. Single flights were estimated to exceed a billion birds — John James Audubon described a flight that darkened the sky for three days. In 1871 their nesting spread across an 850 square mile span of central Wisconsin. Despite this abundance, exploitation of these birds for food and recreation destroyed the species in the wild by the first few years of the twentieth century. Joel Greenberg will explore the fascinating story of the passenger pigeon, highlighting the important lessons it presents to us today in the 21st century.
Joel Greenberg has over 25 years experience working on natural resource related issues in the Chicago area. He is a research associate of the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum and the Field Museum in Chicago. Author of three books based in natural history, most recently A Feathered River Across the Sky: The Passenger Pigeon's Flight to Extinction, Greenberg has taught natural history courses for the Morton Arboretum, Brookfield Zoo, and Chicago Botanic Garden. He helped spearhead Project Passenger Pigeon to focus attention on human-caused extinctions.
Presentation at 6:00 PM followed by a book signing for Joel Greenberg's latest book A Feathered River Across the Sky: The Passenger Pigeon's Flight to Extinction (Bloomsbury USA, January 2014).

"Everything resets outside. Your mind resets, your priorities might reset. All these different things click over. And when you come back, you have this spark of creativity; the barrier that was there is no longer there. How powerful is that?" – Ben
We're one week into the Great Outdoors experiment, and, unsurprisingly, it's off to a super enjoyable start. In today's episode, Ben and I talk about how we've spent the last week getting out in nature and what we've been noticing in ourselves as a result. We also dive into some specific research around the emotional benefits of spending time outside (there's a lot more than I expected, to be honest) and while some of it feels a little "Well, yeah, obviously…" I find it amazing that we know how beneficial time outside can be and still manage to avoid it. Us humans are so accomplished at putting off those things that benefit us the most, aren't we??
We also talk about how we spent our outdoors time over the past week. It's been a combination of solo time and family time, active and contemplative. One day I spent my 60 minutes outside just sitting by the river watching the water flow, and loved being reminded that we don't need to overcomplicate this idea of reconnecting with nature. It doesn't need to be grand, it doesn't need to be exercise, it doesn't need to be Instagrammable. It is so often enough to simply focus on the being rather than the doing.
Ben talks about the difference he's noticed between time spent outside in nature versus time spent outside in an urban environment. He shares some research where this distinction was made between urban and natural outdoor environments, and the different impacts they had on stress, happiness, creativity, generosity, kindness, attention and the feeling of being alive. No surprises, nature comes out ahead.
The other discovery I've made this week, as I've been reading up on the emotional benefits of time spent outdoors, is that awe is one of the most effective experiences in delivering big emotional benefits. I always thought that feeling awe-inspired by nature was nothing more than a beautiful by-product, but I've discovered that there is a significant amount of research that shows just how important it is as a standalone emotion. Studies have found that awe is more important than happiness when it comes to unlocking all the emotional benefits of time spent outside, as it forces us to slow down and be immersed in the thing we are in awe of. Pretty magical stuff, right?
So I'd love to encourage you to try and keep that sense of awe and childlike curiosity with you this week as you spend time with nature big and small, and stay tuned for the experiment episodes for the rest of the month, where Ben and I will look at the mental (especially performance) and physical benefits of spending time in nature. If you're playing along, don't forget to share how you're going over on Instagram using the hashtag #slowexperiment, or comment on Facebook. We'd love to know what you've found challenging or easy so far, and if you've noticed any emotional benefits at all!

We get some strange mail here at Sound Check World Headquarters (er, the Courant building), but this one wins: "Atlas of Creation" by Harun Yahya.
It's a 12-pound tome that, according to the publisher, "displays the invalidity of the theory of evolution by illustrating dozens of fossil remains gathered from various parts of the world." Harun Yahya, the pen name of Turkish author Adnan Oktar, has "become the well-known author of important works exposing the imposture of evolutionists and their invalid claims, and the dark liaisons between Darwinism and such bloody ideologies as fascism and communism."
Dark liaisons? Sounds juicy!
From fox skulls to mayflies, Yahya argues that ancient fossils are exactly the same as modern skeletal remains, which therefore invalidates the concept of evolution. "Fossils in the earth's strata confirm the fact that all life forms have existed in their original state ever since they were first created," he writes in a section titled "Evolutionists' Intermediate-Form Dilemma."
Ignore, for a moment, the sheer lunacy of publishing a ravishing 800-page attack on Darwinism — volume 3 of a planned seven-volume set. Why on earth did they go to the expense of sending it to a music writer?

There are many reasons to consider responsive web design (RWD) when you already have an existing desktop website but need a mobile website as well. For one thing, RWD is cheap and an efficient way to take an existing desktop design and ensure it works efficiently on a mobile device as well.
However, when RWD is treated as an afterthought or lazy add-on, the benefits of properly implemented RWD can be lost. Here are five ways to ensure your RWD efforts will stand out and enhance your mobile web presence and brand image.
1. Take the differences of desktop and mobile into account (but don't overthink it).
In the early days of mobile, it may have been appropriate to view desktop web visitors as static and mobile ones as viewers on the go. Those stereotypes no longer hold with the reality of mobile device usage. Today, people surf the web while watching television, lying in bed or even while having a quick bite to eat.
Ideal RWD will address the reality that mobile devices are used for both static and roaming purposes.
That is not to say, however, that there are not key differences between mobile and desktop. Navigation, font sizes, website buttons and similar website elements should be treated differently, but it is no longer safe to assume that mobile is simply an "on-the-go" web browsing experience.
2. Think big by starting small.
When starting the RWD process, think about the big picture by designing for the smallest practical screen first. It is far easier to design upward to larger devices than it is to start by designing for large screens and moving downward.
When defining breakpoints, ensure that the steps are not too large. Around 200 pixels between breakpoint steps should suffice. These steps could be as simple as floating images or a change to font size. Making these simple tweaks and focusing on the "small" details of RWD will make a big difference for your RWD performance.
3. Treat RWD as a solution, not a compromise.
As mentioned at the outset, the key benefits of RWD are lost when lazy and half-measure solutions are implemented for the mobile version of the website. RWD is not a compromise. Instead, it should be viewed as the means by which your mobile website can include mobile-specific features, such as offline support and geolocation tools.
Users will also appreciate it when your RWD process does not hide content or use browser sniffing that compromises the mobile website's functionality. By avoiding these mistakes, users will appreciate the enhanced user experience.
4. Emphasize user-friendliness.
Enhanced user-friendliness is a natural extension of treating RWD as a solution and not a compromise. There are a few essential user-friendly elements to RWD that all websites should take into account:
- Context: RWD is about more than fitting a desktop website to size on a mobile device. You also need to consider the website's industry and viewing audience. For example, a brick-and-mortar store with a physical address should include a functional and easily accessible "Store Directions" page that takes advantage of geolocation and provides a mobile-accessible phone number.
- Simplify:The smaller nature of mobile means that cluttered and unfocused pages are unacceptable. Include essential information, images and the like, but trim the excesses that serve no practical purpose on mobile.
5. Prioritize performance above all else.
Finally, if a mobile website does not perform well, all the RWD development efforts are moot. Users will not stay on the website for long unless the website performs admirably.
For example, attractive visuals are an important element of RWD, but these files can be large in size. The appeal of sumptuous images has led to slower web pages, with the average site now operating at a size of 2.1 megabytes. RWD should focus on striking the proper balance between effective visuals and reduced file sizes that enhance performance.
By implementing these key RWD design points, the resulting mobile website will be a true standout.

Recipe: corn tortilla with vegetables, beans and saucePosted: August 15, 2011 Filed under: food | Tags: food, recipe Leave a comment
Today I really wanted to write about how much I would like to have a pair of J Brand jeans (because I know you are dying to learn that), but considering completly sick weather (there was a monsoon between 7 am and 8.30 am and now the heat is unbelievable and unbearable) I should rather discuss bikinis but it's already August and really no point in that. Consequently I want to share with you my today's pain.
I totally forgot that we have bank holidays today in Poland and everything is closed. And I don't have almost anything to eat, because I was lazy on Saturday and thought I would live through the weekend and shop for grocieries on Monday, well… that's how I ended up eating the same thing for the third day in a row for my dinner.
It' not really a recipe, more likely a suggestion for serving. I really wanted to make it on Saturday (I just love mexican food) and I brought all ingredients for that so it's not like I used the leftovers from my fridge.
It was also my first time with corn tortilla – and I really love it now! I used a lot of vegetables so it's light and fullfilling at the same time. I prepared sauce so it wouldn't be dry and hard to eat.
per one tortilla
1 corn tortilla
2 mushrooms, sliced
1/2 onion, chopped
2 tbsp rice oil
1 tbsp carmelised red onion
2 leaves of lettuce, sliced
1/2 tomato, sliced
3 tbsp red beans (I used canned red beans)
2 tbsp sweet corn
1 tsp mayonnaise
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp sour cream
2 tsp tao tao spicy sauce
Warm up the tortilla. Heat up oil and roast slightly onion and shrooms. Smear carmelised onion on the top of your tortilla, cover with onion and shrooms pasta, sprinkle with: lettuce, tomato, red beans and corn. Stir mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream and spicy sauce and pour on the top of vegetables. Fold up your tortilla and bon appetite!
Recommendation: Cetaphil (lotion)Posted: August 14, 2011 Filed under: beauty, recommendations | Tags: beauty, recommendations 1 Comment
Some time ago I was searching for a good moisturising cream. All of whose I came across were good when it came to effect but: a) were not efficient, b) left your skin looking oily, c) had too heavy consistency. So when I've started using Cetaphil about two months ago, I was full of worries (especially as it cames in 250 ml container and I thought – what was I gonna do when it turned out to be bad? Well, I don't have those worries now :P).
From the continer's sticker we can learn that Cetaphil is a lotin, has high tolerance, is for sensitive or dry skin, fragrance-free and non-comedogenic. Moreover: "Clinically proven to bind water to the skin and prevent moisture loss. Quick absorption and long-lasting hydration of the (outer-most layer of the) skin. Helps maintain skin's natural protective barries.
Provides immediate soothing and softening. Fragrance-free and lanolin-free formulation, appropriate for sensitive or dry skin.
Specifically formulated to hydrate sensitive or dry skin. Recommended to re-hydrate damaged skin associated with common skin conditions and following dermatological treatments."
I have to agree with most of it (and I'm not knowledgeable about the rest). It absorbes very quickly, skin is smooth and moisturised afterwards. The formula is really delicate and light. It gives immediate relief to your skin, and when using for a longer time improves your skin condition. I also recently (unfortunately) found out that it's good for sun-burned skin. And moreover lotion is very efficient (watch out when applying!).
I use it everyday for a night treatment for my face, and twice a day (morning and evening) for the rest of my body. Really highly recommended (especially for summer and after-holidays time when your skin is tired and dehydrated).
Note: available only in drug stores.
Average price – £8.00 / $10.00 / PLN30.00 for 250 ml container (16 Oz.)
Review: September IssuePosted: August 13, 2011 Filed under: movies | Tags: movies Leave a comment
I wanted to see this movie since it came out in 2009. It was impossible as it wasn't shown in cinemas in Poland nor came out on DVD. But thanks to my best friend who owns it, I got a copy only recently and saw it twice. First time I just watched and dreamed. For the second time I took it to pieces and learned (quite a lot actually).
The movie, or rather a documentary, shows a long process of putting together the biggest issue of Vogue (and any monthly magazine) and the action (if we can call it like that) takes place in 2007, starting during Mercedes Benz NY Fashion Week. We learn that it takes approximately five (!) months and consists of a lot of aspects, all of which are consulted and personally supervised by Anna Wintour.
But – from the beginning – I love the opening of the movie in which Anna Wintour says: " I think what i often see it that people are frighteened about fashion. Because it scares them or make them feel insecure they just put it down. On the whole people that may say, the meanny things about our world I think that's usually because they feel, in some ways, excluded or, you know, not a part of 'the cool group' so as a result they just mock it." It geniuely applies to every aspect of our lives – we fight what sceares us, put ourselves in defensive position while sometimes there's no need to. And then we also hear Anna basically repeating herself: "There is something about fashion that can make people very nervous".
Whole documentary contains a lot of interesting and insightfull interviews with Vogue main staff, designers and even Anna's daughter.
Candy Pratts Price (creative fashion director) says that "it's a church and Anna's a pope" and continueing that "Vogue is a bible in fashion world" what ultimately becomes the keynote of the movie. Alongside the statement that "September is the January in fashion".
We learn (or rather confirm ourselves in the belief) that what Anna says and thinks ultimately becomes 'it', a trend ("- It's texture!, – Well, not for Anna."). Seasons ago she put furs back in fashion, in this documentary we learn how jackets became ultimate clothing for AW 07/08. Also we find out that she credits growing up in London in 60s for her love of fashion, that she dislikes black colour, that she gives advices to biggest designers before fashion weeks and that September Issue is all about unique stories.
From what we can see in 'September Issue", I think that Anna's 'nickname' – Ice Woman – is well exaggerated. She's a very busy woman, extremly professional, doing her business. She doesn't need to be particulary nice and friendly with everyone, and she says what she thinks and is stubborn and adamant (all features which make her who she is now – most influential person in fashion industry). Yet when shot with her daughter she seems to be really nice person, actually quite warm.
Absolutely highlight of the movie, hilarious quote (for me) was told by Bee Shaffer (Anna's daughter) if she's ever gonna work in the industry: "It's a really weird industry to me and it's just not for me. She wanted me to be an editor (…) I would never want to take it seriously. Some of the people in there act like fashion is life. It's just… really amusing and you can make fun of them but that to be your career… it's just… you know… there're other things out there, I think."
However the best quote from professional point of view (if you wish to work in fashion) is probably one said by Grace Coddington (creative director): "you have to demand because otherwise you're gonna be left blamed. Don't be too nice (…), honestly, because you'll lose." And she continues that you have to make yourself important and irreplaceable.
Also during the almost 1,5 hour long documentary we learn how Anna helped Thakoon booked Gap designers line, how she makeed everyone nervous about closing the issue and how cover photoshoot of Sienna Miller by Mario Testino almost ended up as a disaster (and many more!).
This movie is simply a must-see for everyone who wants to force his way through to the top (or somewhere near it 😉 ).
unconventional manicurePosted: August 11, 2011 Filed under: beauty, clothes, fashion | Tags: beauty, fashion 4 Comments
The day before yesterday I was very inspired by my best friend's unconventional manicure and pericure. Consequently I decided to do something with my nails too 🙂
I think that such duo-colour nails are very summerish and very 'holiday-spirit'. However I have to admit I wasn't sure at the beginning if I can pull that look off, but I feel really good afterwards (even though some people – esp. middle-age and older women – look a bit suspicious at me :P) I will definiately try some other combinations and maybe patterns as well soon.
What do you think about such pedicure? Do you have your own inspirations and ideas for fun manicure?

vintage leather jacketPosted: August 7, 2011 Filed under: clothes, fashion | Tags: clothes, fashion, styles Leave a comment
Just before I went on my short holidays, I've started sorting out my stuff – things I need to get rid off before October (THE date!). Somewhere in the depth of my boxroom (or rather 'boxwardrobe') I found a vintage leather jacket.
It's really vintage – from about 25 years ago, and was bought by my parents and never really worn (!) so the quality is overwhelming. Sadly it's way too big for me and I have to sell it 😦
But still – it's a great find and I hope someone will embrace it. Wonder what more is waiting for me? And what treasures do you have in your own boxroom? 😉
Countryside gate-awayPosted: August 7, 2011 Filed under: Poland | Tags: Poland 2 Comments
The weather is so nice recently that I decided to pack myself and my dog and spend a few days in my grandpa's summer cottage, in a place where I spent a lot of time during my childhood. Last time I was there, was two years ago, so a lot of new things and changes were waiting for me.
First of all – I almost didn't recognize the train station as it is currently being renowated, thanks to EU funds for upcoming 2012 events.
Then the village itself – whoa! Really, looks more like a modern village now then a true countryside I remembered from years ago (*sights*). But still, very enjoyable.
I spent there full three days and was so busy doing exactly nothing (and eating a lot of my grandma's fabulous cooking) that I didn't take much photos. (I have to admit I had no idea how much I was exhausted and stressed until I was there and was allowed to stop thinking and just enjoy my life).
Probably the best surprise was the new dog female, my grandpa's neighbours bought about a year ago. My dog was totally mersmerized and they were both so happy to have each other. They are really look-a-like and have the same crazy, vivid character.
As I mentioned before, I didn't take much photos being very busy with resting and just socializing with grandparents, but I think I might come back there for a few days again later this month, so I will take more to show you. Right now – two more snaps of the garden.
Hope you are also having a great weekend and plucking up your forces 🙂
Recipe: Spelt pancakes with blueberriesPosted: August 2, 2011 Filed under: food | Tags: food, recipe 2 Comments
Who's up for a healthy breakfast? During the summer I try to eat and use in my recipes as many berries as possible (except for strawberries, they aren't available in Poland during other seasons. And I have to admit I was totally mesmerized when I saw fresh berries – all kinds – when I was in London in February!). This recipe is double good – not only blueberries (but you can use any small berries) but also the healthiest of all flours – spelt one! This recipe, with my changes, was taken from this site. It's really good, easy to make but next time I'm gonna skip salt (as they were a bit too salty for me).
for about 12 pancakes (5 – 6 cms diameter)
1,5 cups whole grain spelt flour
1 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp sea salt
3 large eggs, beaten
1,75 cups buttermilk
2 tbsp honey
1/4 cup sunflower oil
1 cup blueberries
Begin by mixing the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. In a glass measuring cup, mix together the buttermilk, eggs, oil and honey. Fold the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. Do not overmix (the batter may still have a few small lumps).
Let it sit for 10 minutes. Add blueberries, stir gently.
Heat a well seasoned cast iron skillet or griddle to medium-low heat. Place portion of batter onto the skillet and spread into a 5 – 6 cms diameter. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the top and the edges are cooked, about 1-2 minutes. Flip. Cook about 1 minute on the latter side. Repeat for the remaining batter.
I served mine with extra honey on the top.

Author Notes: This recipe was inspired by my friends who gave me a box of delectable Kishu Tangerines.These juicy tangerines from Ojai, California are so good simply peeled and popped into your mouth like candy; that said, it is that addition of cardamom that transforms this simple citrus granita to a lush dessert with complexity and depth of flavor.
Making granita is ridiculously simple, but it is not a quick dessert. If you have a few hours on a weekend afternoon to occasionally stir the slowly freezing concoction, you will be greatly rewarded. - yummy supper
—yummy supper
Food52 Review: This is a delicious, fruity and tart granita with a mysterious background flavor that makes you want to keep eating it to figure out what it is. I made a half batch, but forgot to halve the cardamom and the flavour was still not too strong. The predominant flavours were citrus and rum, which is not a bad thing at all! I found it really refreshing on its own, but I also served it atop a coconut panna cotta, which added a nice creaminess. Mine did not freeze hard in my fridge freezer, meaning it was scoop-able rather than scrape-able, but it did not melt too quickly, giving me time to plate and photograph. I'll definitely be making this again come summer. —MaryMaryCulinary
Makes: 1 pint
blood oranges
Kishu, or other juicy small tangerines
cardamom pods, slightly crushed so the flavor releases easily
cup sugar
tablespoon rum
- Squeeze citrus until you have 2 cups of juice.
- In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, stir citrus juice, sugar, cardamom, and rum. Over high heat, dissolve sugar, stirring constantly. When sugar has dissolved, remove from heat. After letting the liquid sit for 15 minutes, strain out cardamom pods and seeds. Cool completely, even overnight if you don't yet have time to slowly freeze the granita.
- Freezing: Pour liquid into shallow baking pan. Freeze 30 minutes. Remove from freezer and stir to break up any frozen bits. Make sure to scrape the edges of the pan, this is where the freezing begins.
- Continue to freeze for 20-30 minute intervals. Stir. Freeze again. After two to three hours of freezing and stirring, your granita will be ready to eat.
- Once you are ready to eat the granita, remove from freezer and serve immediately. It melts quickly.
- We have made this granita repeatedly and served it with a dollop of whipped cream, a little slice of brownie, or a few salted chocolate shortbread. The additions are decadently delicious, yet in truth the granita can easily hold its own as a fresh and bright end to a meal.

I signed up for the upgrade several months ago, and since it's release a few weeks ago a little screen has been popping up offering to install it for me. I duly scheduled the install but chickened out at the last minute and since then I've been rescheduling every few days.
However, the feedback from those with more chutzpah than me has been fairly universally positive, so this morning I decided to throw caution to the winds and go for it.
I started at 9.50 am and it finished just a short while ago at 11.45
Some time later.....
Nearly there.....!
Maybe not....
Losing the will to live now.....
Just as well I had this in my eyeline....
Eventually, after almost two hours, the install is complete and seems to be working. I had a bit of a wobbly with the reinstated start menu (hallelujah!) when I couldn't find 'All Programs' but it turns out that 'All Apps' is the same thing.
Who knew....?
The very bestest thing is that those annoying side panels which popped out when you moved the cursor from right to left in Win 8 have gone, and the random screen switching thing has stopped too, which is a blessing.
It does look and act differently but it's nowhere near as scarily different as Win 8 and I'm tentatively hopeful that we'll get on fine. I have loads of work to get through today so I don't have time to play with all the new bells and whistles, so apart from resetting my default browser and ensuring that I can find my files I haven't taken it for much of a run but I'm giving it a tentative thumbs up so far.
After all.... what could possibly go wrong?

Michael Hudson in a review of James Galbraith's new book: 'Welcome to the Poisoned Chalice' says of current solutions to the post-financial crisis world that:
'financial interests override sovereign self-determination and national referendums on economic and social policy…[and] impose austerity and force privatisation selloffs that are basically foreclosures on indebted economies. Galbraith rightly calls this financial colonialism.'
Real-world economics review issue 76 carries the review.
It points out that resolutions to the current situation have been available since the 1920s. The book covers the economic traumas that the Greek nation is going through. The prospect is that similar measures across the Eurozone will turn it into a dead zone along the lines of Latvia's...
'disastrous ''success'' story involving drastic emigration and declining after-tax wages'.
The solutions imposed through bond holders involve widening fiscal deficits, with countries being forced to sell off their land and mineral rights, public buildings, electric utilities, phone and communications systems, et al, at distress prices.
The problem is that the EU'S central bank (ECB) does not finance deficit spending to revive employment and economic growth. Additionally the German constitution imposes austerity by blocking funding of other countries budget deficits (except for quantitative easing to save bankers). The 2010 bailout by banks is likened to the unpayably high German reparations imposed in the 1920s. The hope of the lenders is that deep austerity and privatisation will enable the repayments, when what is really needed is bad debt writeoffs and an expansionary fiscal policy.
Lord Turner back at ECOBATE 2011 spoke on 'managing credit creation to deliver social optimality' See this Blog link.
And (same blog) Chris Giles of the FT in 2013 has: 'Turner defends permanent printing of money'.
In the You-Tube film 'Debt-Free and Interest-Free money' Richard Werner exposes the false notion that debt alone is the only solution for government expenditure: 'The government can spend money into circulation, money it has issued'.
Galbraith's book highlights the rule in Europe by the dictats of finance and banking favouring right wing governments, along with opposition to any left wing alternatives to austerity. They won in Greece.
The UK has a different Conservative government from 3 months ago that looks to be setting policy ideals derived from left, right and centre. How radical will its economic changes prove to be? Chancellor Philip Hammond is soon to make an Autumn Statement on the economy. Does he realise the powers he has to invest for the common good without increasing debt?

Additional Considerations in Behavior Analytic Supervision
** Do not purchase if you have taken BEHP1122. BEHP1079 is part of the course BEHP1122**
(Per the BACB® this course cannot be counted towards Ethics)
Time: 1 hour, 40 minutesPresenter: Corey Robertson, M.S., BCBA The decision to act as supervisor of those seeking certification in behavior analysis, or even of those already certified, entails many considerations, both legal and ethical. This presentation, the second of a series devoted to excellence in behavior analytic supervision, will discuss the differences between legal and ethical considerations, cover general legal principles all supervisors should be aware of, and risk management strategies that may reduce liability, and review the BACB® Professional Disciplinary and Ethical Standards, and Guidelines for Responsible Conduct related to the behavior analyst as Supervisor. In addition, ethical considerations regarding accepting supervisees, providing supervision, and termination of supervision will be discussed, as well as best practices in supervision, as determined by other fields, will be shared.Objectives:

Installing LAMP with PHP 5.3 on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal / 11.10 Oneric Ocelot
I wont cover what's new in php 5.3 since it would be another article, however it contains alot of improvements including PHP Namespaces, Late Static Bindings, lambda functions, closures…etc. I would strongly recommend using it.
I'll be explaining how to install LAMP stack with PHP 5.3.8 without compiling
It's fairly easy using the dotdeb repository
Step 1: Add the dotdeb repository:
first we need to add the dotdeb application sources to our sources list
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
And copy and paste the following lines and save using ctrl+o
deb http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all deb-src http://packages.dotdeb.org stable all
Step 2: Import the GPG key for the dotdeb repository
Then we'll add the GPG key for the dot deb repository by the following command:
wget http://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg && cat dotdeb.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
Now we'll refresh the packages list by the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Step 3: Installation
Now we're ready to install our LAMP stack
sudo aptitude install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 php5 php5-cli php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 php5-dev php5-mcrypt php5-curl php5-gd phpmyadmin
Now we're all set, just need to test it
go to http://localhost/ to test apache
and we can test php by writing in the bash
php -v
you should see something like the following:
PHP 5.3.8-1~dotdeb.2 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Aug 25 2011 13:30:46) Copyright (c) 1997-2011 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2011 Zend Technologies with Suhosin v0.9.32.1, Copyright (c) 2007-2010, by SektionEins GmbH
Since the new distros of the Ubuntu uses php 5.3, the magical command in step 3 will be sufficient, however if you need a more updated version use the dotdeb repository, if you don't care much about which version to use 5.3.x just skip to step 3.

So my friend and I were having drinks in Amsterdam after a concert we went to. After a couple glasses of wine we started sharing our fantasies about destinations we wanted to go to in the near future, not being to serious about it. The next day both kinda hungover we individually thought it over, having this fanasie stuck to our brains we looked at eachother and both said the same 'Wtf let's book a ticket to New York and we'll just see how to make it work moneywise!'. And that's how we ended up in the Big Apple last week.
We decided to go as 3 besties and stayed in this tacky but well known place 'The Roosevelt'. Got a good deal trough hotwire and it's situated right in the centre of Manhatten. Perfecto! Now I can tell you about all the stuff we did but I'll just share you our conclusion about New York and have you make it happen yourself one day.
Go to Brooklyn, Williamsburg and the Meatpacking district to eat, drink coffee and gin tonics, wonder around, shop and enjoy the relaxed and young atmosphere these neighbourhoods have to offer you. Walk past the headquarters of Vice, get fashion inspired by locals biking past you and enjoy the view over Manhatten from the waterside. Go get dinner at Mogador and 5Leaves in Williamsburg. The highline is a must, together with ConeyIsland on a sunny day and don't forget to try the fried oreo's. Hop on the metro and get out in Soho if you want to upgrade your wardrobe with some nice items from Urban Outfitters, Topshop or American Apparel or maybe some cool sneakers from 'Kith'. Little italy and Chinatown are definitly nice to wonder around and have a nice lunch or dinner.
What about all those famous attractions like te statue of liberty, wall street etc? Well let's just say we saw them from a distance but there's much more interesting stuff to do than standing in line to walk over a bridge or go see a statue. We had a blast being in this city and hopefully we can go back someday when it's a bit warmer and the treees have leaves on them!
Up next? I decided to hang around America for a bit longer and go visit my friends in Canada as well, so next will be Montreal followed by Ottawa. stay tuned!

Environmental Testing and Consulting
Keeping company properties safe for workers and customers alike is essential to a business's success. Employees need to feel secure when going into work, especially in industries where heavy machinery is used. Responsible business executives know that regular environmental testing and consulting is important to keeping a business up to code and safe for employees to continue their work. Through environmental testing, companies can identify health hazards existent in their buildings and create plans of attack through remediation and removal of these hazards with the help of groups like Airtek Environmental. It takes a thorough and complete sampling of a site to give an accurate assessment of the healthiness of a building. Airtek Environmental inspectors are specially trained to perform tests that provide accurate data for companies to use.
Environmental Testing and Consulting Process
Before a company can schedule and utilize the data collected from environmental testing, it's important to understand what environmental testing is and how it can help a business succeed. Environmental testing is the process of taking samples from a building to test for contaminants and pollutants that could cause health issues for people who use the building. These samples can be taken from the soil, water, surfaces within a building, and even the air inside the building. Inspectors perform tests that identify the presence of environmental hazards like mold and lead.
The data collected indicates the severity of contamination within a building and locates potential problem areas to help companies perform preventative measures against future contamination. By using environmental testing and consulting, company owners and safety officers are able to get a full picture of the health of their properties and can prevent future epidemics of health issues. Widespread illness among employees can lead to expensive losses due to a reduction in productivity and frequent absences. If contamination is left unmanaged, companies can even face fines and reprimands from OSHA for failing to meet regulations. With the in-depth inspections provided by Airtek Environmental, companies can easily avoid these risks to profit and reputation.
Most Reputable Environmental Testing and Consulting Services in New York
Airtek Environmental is New York's most reputable service for performing inspections, testing and consultations for companies. Airtek Environmental's state of the art laboratory facilities provide testing services for companies, day or night. We supply businesses with in-depth analyses on the environmental health of their properties and provide expert consultation services to companies looking to remediate environmental threats present in their buildings. With Airtek Environmental, companies get around-the-clock service and fast turnaround times on data reports, allowing companies to address environmental hazards quickly.
Maintaining a healthy working environment for employees is known to increase productivity and cut costs for businesses throughout the fiscal year.

- cans. shopping list
- If you use fresh roma tomatoes, use 1 1/2 t salt, no more. shopping list
- Forget the bitterness thing. Just salt each side. shopping list
- I always was leary of eggplant because of the name. It actually has little flavor and gets most from the oil and whatever it is cooked with. shopping list
- This was very similiar to Moussaka I learned to make and absolutely love. I have the pics and will post that recipe. shopping list
How to make it
- First this make a lot! Prepare to have a lot of friends or family over for dinner or it can be cut up and frozen.
- 1. Toss eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt in a colander set over a bowl, then let drain 30 minutes.
- 2. While eggplant drains, cut an X in bottom of each tomato with a sharp paring knife and blanch tomatoes together in a 5-quart pot of boiling water 1 minute.
- 3. Transfer tomatoes with a slotted spoon to a cutting board and, when cool enough to handle, peel off skin, beginning from scored end, with paring knife.
- 4. Coarsely chop tomatoes, then coarsely purée in batches in a blender.
- 5. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 5-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then add garlic and sauté, stirring, until golden, about 30 seconds.
- 6. Add tomato purée, basil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and red pepper flakes and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 25 to 30 minutes.
- 7. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
- 8. Stir together flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl.
- 9. Lightly beat eggs in a second shallow bowl, then stir together panko and 1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano in a third shallow bowl.
- 10. Working with 1 slice at a time, dredge eggplant in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, and dredge in panko until evenly coated.
- 11. Transfer breaded eggplant slices to a baking sheet, with sheets of parchment or wax paper between layers.
- 12. Heat remaining 1 1/2 cups oil in a deep 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry eggplant 4 slices at a time, turning over once, until golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes per batch. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.
- 13. Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in bottom of a rectangular 3 1/2-quart (13- by 11- by 2-inch) baking dish.
- 14. Arrange about one third of eggplant slices in 1 layer over sauce, overlapping slightly if necessary.
- 15. Cover eggplant with about one third of remaining sauce (about 11/4 cups) and one third of mozzarella.
- 16. Continue layering with remaining eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella. Sprinkle top with remaining 1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and shredded cheeses (if using).
- 17. Bake, covered 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake until cheese is melted and golden and sauce is bubbling, another 15 minutes.
- 18. **Note: Tomato sauce can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Ok, I was brought up to remove that glob of white stuff (the yuck thing mentioned and shown in pics) attached the yolk. I use a teaspoon and a finger to fut it loose and throw away. I won't say what I think it looks like. I know when frying an egg it doesn't cook, just gags me.

Scandal's Katie Lowes is Fashion Fierce for 'Bello' Magazine
Katie Lowes looks super fierce in her fashion spread for Bello magazine's October 2013 issue.
Here is what the 32-year-old Scandal actress had to share with the mag:
On building her acting career: "For years, I had been waitressing and babysitting and catering and personal assisting, and having any side gig I could possibly find. At the same time, slowly but surely coming up the latter. Getting one line then two lines then three lines then a guest star, then a recurring."
On her audition for Scandal: "I went in to audition for Quinn and I felt really connected to her. For a million reasons but one of them being that my middle name was Quinn. It was one of those auditions where everything just came really easily. I was able to remember the lines really easily and my acting just felt really natural and in place."
On her character Quinn Perkins: "I feel like if she was just a regular person and didn't work at Olivia Pope & Associates, she would have some sort of addiction problem. I think that there was something there last season when she got to control a situation and get that high. That's a real disease that people have. When people are addicted to the high of certain situations it's hard to get rid of."

I know how hard it is to come up with something fresh on fantasy football every week. I can't imagine writing a novel about it. But two guys did.
Wade Lindenberger and Mike Ford are both senior execs with RoseRyan, an accounting and finance consulting firm in Newark. And they found enough spare time to write Brotherhood of the Pigskin and they are having a book launching at Knuckles in Burlingame on Bayshore Monday night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The novel follows Buckeye Bob DiGiorgio as he turns to computer programs to help him win an elusive fantasy football league title. Against all odds, he begins to build the season to end all seasons.
Hopefully, Bob didn't have Tom Brady last season, when his one bad week cost people championships. Or Brady this season, when he didn't even last one week.
Anyway, I'll be in the office so I can't make it, but if you go, buy the guys a drink for me.

This is yet another hot topic for the times! There is so much controversy and disagreement in this country on this topic, but what do Humanists think? Is this going to be an easy discussion or will it be as lively as usual? Come and find out!
Find some articles or links to help with the discussion if you like and feel free to post related articles in the comments section below.
If anybody can get there early, by around 8:45, I will definitely need help setting up tables and chairs. I'm not supposed to lift anything heavy right now. Much appreciated.
If you are interested, a group of us like to go out to lunch afterward. We will wrap up the meeting around noon so you just might be hungry by then.
