Can't share folders
I'm trying to network a desktop computer with a new laptop. Both are Windows 7 Home Premium computers. The desktop lists the laptop in the network, but when I try to access folders I'm sharing, I am prompted for a password. The laptop has no password since I log on without it. I've also tried the homegroup password, but it's still not accepted. I've tried other passwords I've used here and there for things, but none of them works.
Furthermore, the laptop doesn't see the desktop. Only the desktop lists both itself and the laptop in the network. The laptop lists only itself.
The laptop has options for creating a homegroup, but the desktop does not, which seems odd to me since they're both Windows 7 Home Premium, and I thought W7 HP could not create a homegroup. In any case, I just want to share several folders with both computers over my home network.
Could this be a firewall issue with the laptop? I see plenty of resources for allowing new programs through the firewall, but how, then, do I allow the other computer through?
If I could solve the password mystery, it might work. Help, please. Puh-leez!

AFAIK, you must have a password on each machine to connect over a network. Since you don't want to have to login to the laptop everytime you boot, you could always Log on Automatically.

James: What, exactly, needs to be passworded--the administrative account? I did that on the laptop, but the desktop is still not accepting the password. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm not really clear on which machine won't allow share access, or if it's both, but try creating an account for the laptop on the desktop and vice-versa, so that when you log in from one to the other, windows recognzes the machine trying to connect as a local account.

Well, that was easy! My network is up and running and sharing between my desktop and laptop.
Thank you, James, for the assist.
In case anyone else has this same problem, I just turned off password-protected sharing! No need for a homegroup.

Family & Friends:
Contrary to popular belief, rats are not disease ridden flea bags that go around biting people and digging through trash. In fact they are actually amazing pets. They are very intelligent, hygienic, and lovable animals to own. Although having pet rats isn't really simple, it's still very rewarding. Rats have many specific needs that have to be met or they may have health complications later on in life. They need to be kept in pairs to avoid depression, they need balanced diets, and you have to take them to the vet just as you would with any dog or cat. Owning rats is easily compared to owning puppies. They chew, sleep, eat, play and can really occupy your time quite easily.
Bathing/Coat Care:
Believe it or not but rats are actually really clean. They spend more time grooming themselves than cats do. This means you really don't need to worry about bathing unless your little pets get themselves really dirty which can happen if you own more than two. Their teeth grow continuously so providing them with plenty to chew on and grind their teeth on is very important. They will find something to chew on like clothes, cords, blankets, and more if you're not careful. Two of rat's biggest health concerns are respiratory issues, and certain cancers. Keeping a close eye on your rats breathing, eyes and nose is important to make sure they don't have a cold. Rats, especially hairless rats are susceptible to minor colds, all the way to pneumonia. These can have drastic effects on their life spans which are only two to three years long. Regular checkups at a vets office should help keep these concerns to a minimum and keep them healthy.
- Diet and Nutrition: Diets for these pets can be a little complicated. They should be eating a balanced diet of veggies and fruits about three to four times a week and a pellet food mix for the remaining days. You can feed them seeds and treats but rats have tendencies to become overweight from overeating so it's important to watch how much they eat because they will take food even if they are just bored. There are a number of foods you should avoid giving rats such as apple seeds, celery, dried corn, raw beans, oranges, and chocolate. The list goes on but the list of food they can eat is even longer. Hairless rats need more protein and fats in their diets so giving them seeds more often is okay. Fresh water is should be supplied daily in a bowl but having another water bottle in your cage does not hurt either.
- Exercise:
These little guys can be packed with energy so they need at least an hour of playtime or handling. They love exploring so making a safe space for them to run around in is crucial. Rats are escape artists and they will find any hole or crack. You can find playpens for rodents but it's important to know that they can jump, and they do climb so supervision is necessary. Running wheels work for pet rats, however they need to be big enough for them and wire wheels will hurt their feet or even rip off nails. Rats can be skittish sometimes so always be ready to grab them if they get frightened. Overall rats can make a great pet. They can provide you with hours of laughter and entertainment as they wrestle with each other or jump around excitingly for food and treats.
- Breeds:
As far as breeds go, rats come in a decent variety including Standard, Rex, Dumbo, and Hairless. Standard rats usually have glossy and smooth coats. Rex rats have curly or wavy hair and whiskers. Dumbo rats have large ears on the side of their heads, just like the disney character. And finally hairless rats have pink, thin school that is prone to scratches, dehydration, sunburns, and dry skin. There are numerous amounts of color variations and markings to choose from too.
- Potty Time:
Rats are very impressionable animals and react well to training. You can train your rats to go to the bathroom in a litter box or even in a specific spot in their cages. They really don't like to be around their own feces or urine so they tend to appreciate litter boxes or bedding that masks the odor. Their waste can cause health issues so it's important to pay attention to how much your pets have used the bathroom so you can clean it appropriately. Using a diluted bleach and water spray bottle to clean urine and feces is the best way to clean up.

Hybrid: Eternal Whisper Review
Great games, for any system, don't come along nearly often enough. With more than 21,000 games currently available on the iPhone and iPod Touch, there are plenty of ways to just waste time. But if you want a high-quality experience that rivals some of the biggest names in console gaming, spend your time and money on Gamevil's masterful beat 'em up RPG, Hybrid.
Hybrid contains a complex, wide-ranging story, full of interesting characters and its own unique mythology. You play as Grey, a young man with a mysterious background and a charming protector named Fairy. Grey is thrust into the center of an epic conflict that takes him between two parallel worlds to fight thousands of nasty monsters.
Grey's been reading Harry Potter and the Secrets of the Occult.
We were reminded several times during Hyrbid's ten-hour storyline of the Final Fantasy games– those wordy, sentimental tales that sometimes don't make a lot of sense, but never stop trying to win you over. The story may not be Hollywood-caliber, but it's a mile beyond almost any other iPhone game.
Unlike the Final Fantasy games, though, Hybrid's gameplay is all about action, and this puts it in the same category of brawlers like Streets of Rage or Devil May Cry. Every step of the way, you'll gain experience points and currency called POW that can be spent in several different ways, from upgrading your abilities to buying more health potions.
Hybrid's combat system is extremely satisfying. Using just one attack button and a D-pad, you start off with a simple repertoire of moves, including a dash and an alternate grip on your sword that lets you easily attack surrounding enemies. As you play through the game, elemental magic and new advanced moves like double-sworded spins and gravity wells are granted to you by the wise priests and spirits who help you on your quest.
Instead of being just bit characters, each creature you meet will help shed some light on the complicated story, and many have individual personalities that come across through the heavy amounts of dialogue. While some impatient gamers may not like being forced to stop slashing and read the dialogue, it's part of an overall experience that makes Hybrid much more than a typical action game.
When someone asks you if you're a god, say yes!
We have a few minor complaints about the basic mechanics of Hybrid, like the fact that some magical attacks are a pain to pull off consistently, and the overall look of the game tends to sacrifice fluid animation for having lots of enemies on the screen at once. Plus, the cinematic direction is definitely lacking: During cutscenes, characters simply stand at attention and deliver their lines robotically.
What Hybrid may lack in its animation, it overwhelmingly makes up for by its seemingly endless leveling up system. As any gamer knows, the desire for "one more round" to upgrade your character, buy a new sword, or unlock another chapter in the sweeping storyline can threaten to put your real life on hold until you beat the game. And when you do, Hyrbid offers even more combat situations to play, like an endless survival-style mode set in a floating garden in the sky.
We couldn't be more impressed with what Hybrid has managed to pull off. In its mythology, it claims that words have power, and by that measure, the lengthy story that accompanies this game is heavy stuff indeed. However, it's also an addictive action game as well, one that should strongly appeal to adrenaline junkies who are looking for their next challenge. Hybrid pulls off both its action and RPG aspects with a fantastic sense of style, making this easily one of the iPhone's best games.

This Human Tries Tries To Kiss Her Dog, But The Dog Has OTHER Plans!Greg Menz
This dog is hilarious! She only kisses her owner when she gets treats in return! This is one smart doggy! I've seen a lot of dogs do funny things for treats, but I have never seen a dog do this!
Either this lady has bad breath or he has a trick up his sleeve! This knocked me off my chair from laughter! What does your dog do for some treats! My dog usually hits me with his paw! LOL!

I had told her about my new projects and was really thrilled when she handed me the gorgeous 'Romo' textured weave sample book. The sample colours are absolutely amazing. There are thirty-nine different shades including pinks, browns, creams and greens, measuring 30x21cms each.
A week later she gave me four books of quality 'kvadrat' felt samples. They are made from 100% new wool in the most beautiful shades of greens, blues, reds, purples, oranges, pinks and yellows.
There are about fifty different shades, measuring 15x30cms each.
I'm planning to make lots of little cushions with these, design ideas are already whizzing around my head. A lot of birthdays are coming up, so lots of cushions need to be made. I think they will make such lovely gifts. Maybe I can try and sell some the next time I do a car boot. I'm off to Thailand this weekend for a couple of weeks and have packed a small selection of felt and sewing accessories so I can make a start whist on the aeroplane, hopefully it'll take my mind off the flight. This will be my first proper holiday in a very long time and hopefully I can bring back some beautiful fabric to add to my ever growing collection. See you in a fortnight! x

Afrirampo, Dead Meadow and Fuck Buttons @ All Tomorrow's Parties, Brisbane
It was back to the Powerhouse for the final night of Brisbane's disjointed version of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival and as a whole, this was to be my favourite evening.
I was lucky enough to be at the very front and centre for most of the performances, except when a very rude and insisted Fuck Buttons fan kept squeezing in before their set started, after which she stood transfixed, seemingly unmoved by the power of their music – surely it should be about the music, not some idol-esque, blind adulation?
Afrirampo started off the proceedings with a quick jog through the sparse crowd and then up to the stage where they unleashed their noise rock 'n' roll to the slowly growing audience.
Afrirampo formed in 2002, evolving from the avante-garde music scene in Osaka, and consist of two young Japanese women playing guitar and drums and sharing vocal and between song banter duties. They are cute and noisy in equal parts and managed to convey both during their very energetic and joyous set of psychedelic noise rock at the Powerhouse.
They ended the show carried through the now much larger audience on the shoulders of two guys from the crowd, encouraging the audience to participate in the chorus of their final song.
Mayhem and mischief abounded throughout this fun set but they left too early for me to buy their home made CD (maybe next time?).
Afrirampo - Nakimushikemushi Goodbye!
Next up were Dead Meadow who played a very strong set of seventies rock with a few long, very groovy jams and some relatively short rockers. My head was shaking and my body swaying for the entire set of tunes which took me back to the music of my youth. Rockin' fun indeed!
Dead Meadow formed in Washington in 1998 and have experienced a few minor line up changes in their time. Their sound has also alternated between heavy seventies rock and psychedelic stoner rock.
But tonight it was the heavy end of the rock spectrum the audience was entertained with and the band received a very good reception, including a few gifts bestowed upon them (a bottle of soju and a hippy pouch which, if all is right in the world, contained some wicked pot).
Dead Meadow were my find of the festival, thanks guys! (but why no CDs on sale?)
Dead Meadow - Indian Bones
Finally ATP favourites Fuck Buttons dragged their suitcase of electronic goodies on to the stage and set to destroy the hearing of all within earshot with their experimental noise (although there is melody hidden beneath) tracks.
Fuck Buttons formed in late 2004 and in 2008 released their debut, and my album of the year for last year, Street Horrrsing. Hearing this played live was a most amazing experience.
The band were very well received by the enthusiastic audience, especially a small group of lads a few rows back who were jumping around and hollering in support.
They ended with a track I didn't recognise and which bodes well for future quality output from Fuck Buttons. I for one can't wait! I had so much fun I bought the t-shirt.
Huge thanks go out to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for curating such a great fun festival and to all of the bands (with one obvious, local exception) for putting on such quality performances. All Tomorrow's Parties is now my favourite oz music festival and next year I may have to travel to Sydney or Melbourne to enjoy the full festival experience.
Do you like these tunes? Then why not support the artists (and my blogging habit) by buying some music. Check out these links:-

Africæ Tabula Nova, 1570
Two details from a plate of the 16th century Theatrum orbis terrarum, depicting the African continent. This masterpiece is part of the collection of the Boston Public Library's Norman B. Leventhal Map Center, which tweeted out a link to this item last week.
The details above show West Africa and the Guinea coast. Cape Verde and Sierra Leone are already known as such, although the Niger River is incorrectly shown to flow into the Atlantic between the two, a fallacy that would exist for centuries to come.
Benin and Biafra are labeled, as is Guinea, somewhat ironically exactly where modern-day Guinea is. I presume Dauma is kindred to Dahomey, as Melli surely is to Mali. Melegueta, the early Portuguese name for the Liberian coast, is probably the same as Melegete, which this map puts at somewhere near modern-day Ghana. Its fascinating not only that Cape Palmas is clearly labeled, but also the St. Paul River-- showing just how ancient that river's Christian name really is.
I don't recognize a single town name, (although I wonder if Gago is now Gao) and its notable that they are depicted with as tiny clusters peaked by a church spire, in the European style of the era. I love the swordfish, too.

Thanks for posting these. I wonder what the cape is to the immediate east of Palmas. There's really nothing there but a gentle arch to Ghana's Cape Three Points.

The funicular railway takes you to the top of the mountain with the strange name: a nonsense word, a child's burble, Tibidabo. You see the city of Barcelona spread out beneath you; beyond it the Mediterranean. Très beau panorama, the Michelin guide says, as well it may, since the name is not the nonsense word it looks but the Devil's Latin, part of the sentence in which he offered to Christ the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them: Haec omnia tibi dabo si cadens adoraveris me, 'All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.' I don't know when the mountain received its name, but there is obviously a pretty complicated joke in the folk memory here. Is this the world Christ rejected? The Devil's world? Or did Christ make a mistake? Perhaps the suggestion is that Christ didn't take enough time to think, that a little Catalan pragmatism would have allowed him to reject the Devil but keep a piece of the worldly kingdom and glory.
Catalan pragmatism is the great regional myth, peddled in all kinds of forms. It is usually opposed to Castilian abstraction and rigidity, and there is a Catalan word for it: seny. This untranslatable term means, we are told, something like common sense, or the spirit of compromise, but it is also rendered as wisdom and intelligence, and Temma Kaplan associates it with solidarity. 'The man of seny,' we learn from a Catalan writer quoted by Hughes, 'renounces neither salvation nor experience, and is always trying to set up a fruitful integration between both opposed, warring extremes.' Sounds altogether reasonable, but not as if it needs a special word. What the concept actually seems to do is to convert a complex bundle of morally ambiguous habits into a virtue: it is pragmatism in its best possible light. The Vicar of Bray wouldn't have seny, nor would your ordinary malleable politician, but a slave-owning Catalan who built a handsome church might. It's clear, in any event, that whatever moderation is associated with this idea is entirely mythological; the sort of myth needed, perhaps, only by truly extreme types.
Barcelona at the end of the 19th century was a 'bourgeois paradise', Hughes says. It also held, according to Engels, the world record for barricade construction. Manuel Vazquez Montalban, who quotes this interesting assertion, doesn't tell us what the record was for; quantity, say, or the speed with which the barricades were put up. It's certainly an interesting legacy for an Olympic city. 'Between 1919 and 1923,' David Gilmour writes, 'there were more than seven hundred political assassinations in Catalonia'; and Temma Kaplan documents in some detail a large number of bombings, strikes and executions. The bourgeois paradise was also the Anarchists' headquarters, and we need reflect only for a moment to realise that this is not a paradox, or a contradiction, but only a description of the same scene from different angles. The metaphor of several cities enshrined in Vazquez Montalban's title and used several times in the book, is both eminently sensible and, if it merely suggests a relaxed pluralism, a little too easy. Different Barcelonas have frequently been at war with each other, accumulating astonishing losses of life. The factions are in this sense fighting for a single space; if they had a Barcelona each there wouldn't be a problem. No wonder the place needs a myth of moderation.
Hughes reminds us that Barcelona contains, in its Gothic Quarter, 'the most concentrated array of 13th to 15th-century buildings in Spain, and, not discounting even Venice, the most complete in Europe' – but we do need reminding, and I wonder why. Partly because Catalan Gothic, as Hughes says, is unlike French and English Gothic, a matter of mass rather than aspiration: 'Catalan architects did not want to imitate the organic profusion of detail in northern Gothic. They liked a wall. Their bell towers ended in flat roofs, not in spires.' At the same time they produced the austere and haunting arches of the Salo de Tinell, a banqueting hall that later served as a parliament, and the interior of the church of Santa Maria del Mar, than which Hughes says 'there is no grander or more solemn architectural space in Spain.' But mainly, I think we need reminding because we don't picture Barcelona as a Medieval city at all. It is too much an invention of the 19th century for that. It has a Medieval city in it, but that is not what it is.

Browsing in the Scottish Poetry Library recently, I found a copy of an anthology called A State of Independence, edited by Tony Frazer, who is behind the Shearsman magazine and press, one of the UK's most important outlets for quality, non-mainstream poetry.
The anthology, first published in 1998, features 18 poets, about 10 pages to each, all of whom come from outwith the poetic mainstream.
Tony Frazer writes in his introduction:
"If these poets are so worthy of attention, why is it that they are not all given the accolades accorded their more mainstream contemporaries? It may be that refusal to play the literary-political power game or not bothering to be a reviewer / reader / lecturer / biographer proves detrimental to a poetry "career" as it exists these days in Britain.
"Innovators of course — and some of those included here may justifiably claim that description — are always outside the canon, until such time as they are recognised as forgotten geniuses — as with Basil Bunting in Britain — or until the canon swivels about to accommodate them — as with John Ashbery in the USA (although his fecundity and intellectual playfulness still seem distrusted in Britain).
"No conspiracy, this, but simply the natural moves and countermoves made by political human beings, who seek comfort with their kin and the safety of their own walls rather than an exploration of the harsher country beyond."
I've decided to read the book, and to write about each of the poets in turn on this blog. Obviously, I am not attempting to judge the work of these poets overall, but simply to provide a personal reaction to the work evidenced in the anthology – a reaction from one reader to poets who are attempting to write in a non-conventional way, and who have some skill in doing so.
The poets featured are mainly UK poets, but there are a few from other nationalities. They are:
Guy Birchard
Richard Caddel
David Chaloner
Peter Dent
Andrew Duncan
Roy Fisher
Harry Guest
Lee Harwood
Philip Jenkins
Grace Lake
Tom Lowenstein
Christopher Middleton
David Miller
Billy Mills
Peter Riley
Gael Turnbull
Catherine Walsh
John Welch.
I'll be back with my reaction to Guy Birchard over the next day or two.

Remembrance Day
Every year I think about my great-grandfather Albert Edward Crust who died 1917 in Belgium.
His grave is one of those amongst the emotive lines of white crosses seen across fields in Europe.
Albert's wife was pregnant with my grandfather, George Crust, at the time of his death. George never met his Dad.
George Crust went on to serve as a Sgt Major in WWII. George's own war story is remarkable.
He received a message whilst on duty abroad telling that his brother had died in action. He didn't believe his brother would be so careless as to be killed and went looking for him. After several days travelling and searching he found his brother injured, but alive in hospital!

Insurers see opportunities in blue economy'
SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda — Coral reefs, mangroves and even some fish could soon have their own insurance policies as the industry seeks new ways to boost protection for those affected by the ocean changes wrought by climate change.
Warmer sea temperatures have led to more intense storms in the Atlantic Ocean, contributing to $320 billion in disaster losses from weather and climate-related events last year, according to the World Meteorological Organisation.
Only about a quarter of these were insured.
But despite high payouts, industry experts speaking at the Ocean Risk Summit in reinsurance hub Bermuda said so-called "ocean risk" — which encompasses storms and hurricanes as well as marine diseases and declines in fish stocks — can present opportunities for insurers if the risks are modelled correctly.
One way to increase coverage is to devise new financial instruments to insure "green infrastructure" — such as coral reefs, mangroves and salt marshes that act as natural barriers against storms and can reduce devastating losses on land.
"There is a new role for insurance companies in the context of development strategies for countries most vulnerable to ocean risk," said Falk Niehörster, director of Climate Risk Innovations, a risk management consultancy.
Niehörster has urged the creation of new insurance products to cover the $1.5 trillion global "blue economy" including fisheries, marine transport and other sectors.
Mark Way, a former reinsurance official who helped Swiss Re implement a policy for dozens of miles of coral reef and beach in Mexico this year — a world first — said his charity was inundated with calls from other insurers after the concept was announced.
"There's a lot of capital looking for investment opportunities so there are incentives to find innovative new ways to provide cover," Way, head of global coastal risk and resilience for The Nature Conservancy, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on the sidelines of the summit last week.
Governments also have a keen interest in such insurance policies since they can reduce the human and infrastructure losses on land that devastated parts of the Caribbean last year.
Kedrick Pickering, Deputy Premier of the British Virgin Islands, which was hit by Hurricane Irma last year, said reef insurance was something the country would consider.
The Mexican reef insurance model works by automatically triggering payouts once storm-force winds hit a certain level.
The same concept theoretically could be applied to damage to fish stocks causes by El Nińo, based on changes to water current. Payouts would go to fishermen in that case.
"There is a whole host of ideas and we are just scraping the surface," Way said.
However, some risks — such as pollution and overfishing, which scientists say could contribute to the loss of as much as 90 per cent of global reefs by 2050 — are not covered under the novel Mexican insurance model.
And many species that have an enormous value to ocean ecosystems, such as crucial oxygen-generating bacteria, do not have easily quantifiable benefits to humanity, so are difficult to insure.
"Insurance can't solve all the problems and we need to be mindful of the blind spots," said Rashid Sumaila, director of the fisheries economics research unit at the University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre.
But so far even clearly identified threats to established markets remain largely uninsured.
The nearly $23 billion a year northeastern US fisheries market, which includes high-value species such as lobster, scallops and cod, is expected to suffer from rising sea temperatures but so far remains largely uninsured, for instance.
Experts say more data and research on the oceans, such as plans to map the ocean's resources as well as an ambitious project to create an ocean risk index by the end of this year, may help provide the missing pieces for insurers.
"Insurers are already developing products in response to ocean risk but an index could accelerate and deepen their engagement," said Robert Powell, a senior consultant with the Economist Intelligence Unit, which is formulating the risk index.
Creating insurance products for marine assets could also build incentives to protect them against threats, or at least the ones local communities can control, Way said.
"If you can make the case successfully that its worth investing in an insurance policy then why spend that money if you are going to kill the reef through nutrient run-off or pollution?" he asked.
Still, conservationists say there is a limit to what insurance can do and other protection will have to come from regulation, such as reducing illegal fishing and implementing a UN goal to transform 10 per cent of the world's oceans into protected areas by 2020.
Another shortcoming is that insurers, who tend to offer policies on short time horizons, are only likely to be interested in providing coverage against ocean risks in milder global warming scenarios.
Under the Paris Agreement on climate change, countries aim to hold average global temperature risk to "well below" two degrees Celsius, with an aim of 1.5 degrees. So far, however, inadequate global plans to cut emissions suggest temperatures could rise three degrees or more.
"At three to four degrees (temperature increase) you are looking at a structural challenge for billions of people and that creates a whole new level of economic and social challenges for which insurance may not have all the answers," said Rowan Douglas, head of capital, science and policy practice at global advisory firm Willis Towers Watson.

Press release
Flooding and footpath repairs for A585 near Poulton
A £740,000 Highways England scheme to make a section of Lancashire's A585 safer for drivers and pedestrians started on Monday (28 September).
This news article was withdrawn on
This press release is no longer current.
The drainage system along the route near Poulton-le-Fylde between Skippool roundabout and Singleton junction is being completely overhauled with cleaning and repairs to reduce flooding. New footpaths are also being provided on both sides of the road.
Construction work will be taking place around the clock but during the day the route will remain open in both directions through narrowed lanes. Between 7pm and 6am each night temporary traffic lights will be in place with one of the carriageways closed. The work is due to be completed by Friday 18 December.
Highways England project manager Peter Gee said:
We're working hard to ensure we minimise disruption for residents, pedestrians and road users by keeping the road fully open during the day, doing any noisy works before 11pm at night and keeping one of the footpaths open at all times.
No temporary traffic lights will be used before Blackpool's annual illuminations event finishes on Sunday 8 November.

Tattooing has come out of the closet and into the mainstream. Once considered the "consequence" of a night of heavy drinking while on shore leave, tattoos have gained popularity as works of body art. Nearly 40 percent of all people--men and women--from age 18 to 40 have at least one tattoo.
Many of those already inked would like to get more work done but do not want to experience the uncomfortable "pain" often associated with tattooing. Others would like to get their first tattoo but shy away from inking for the same reason.
Inking does not have to extremely painful. In fact, depending on the tattoo artist, the size of the tattoo and the use of a few recommendations, some tattooing can be virtually painless.
Look at images and decide what you want tattooed and where. Start with a small image. You can always add to it later. Tattoo removal is expensive, painful and not always 100 percent effective.
Make an appointment with your regular health care provider (MD, NP, PA). This person should know your medical condition best and can advise you if getting inked will negatively affect your health.
Request from your health care provider some "numbing cream." Be clear that you are asking for this medication because you are getting a tattoo. This will help the nurse or physician make a better clinical decision and provide you with the correct amount. You will also need instructions on how to use it. (Note: Most insurance carriers will not cover this medication, so take that into consideration. Cost varies, but a general rule of thumb the cream is about $50 to $75 per tube. A tube may last for several "small" tats or just be enough for one "big" inking.)
The "numbing cream" consists of lidocaine (like the numbing medication you get at the dentist) and prilocaine (another type of numbing medication). If you have ever had an adverse reaction to these medications, never use them for tatooing or for any other reason.
Apply the numbing cream as directed by your health care provider. Generally, it is applied in a thick layer as opposed to a cream that is rubbed in. Cover the area with clear plastic wrap with the edges taped around the wrap. This should be done at least one hour before your inking.
Remove the dressing and wash away the numbing cream just before your inking session. Let your tattoo artist know you used the cream.
Always wash your hands before and after applying ANY medicated cream. Always ask your tattoo artist his opinion of numbing cream. (Some may object.) Have a friend drive you after you apply the numbing cream. While the cream is topical, a little amount may get absorbed throughout the body and lead to drowsiness.
Never use numbing medications if you are allergic to any component of the cream. Consult your health care provider before using cream and getting a tattoo if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or are nursing.

I paid for the "Tao" version for the Tag Editor feature, but the album info in the tag appears correct.....Album Art Grabber even finds the correct album art....yet "Album Name" still shows "iMusic" I'm probably just being OCD (since it in no way affects the song), but any advice would be much appreciated.

It is a "normal" part of life now to have your data stole. The question is "Do you know if you have been hacked?" It took Yahoo two years to share with us that 500 million accounts had been hacked. Hard to believe they did not know.
This article by consumer reports "66 Ways to Protect Your Privacy Right Now" is a great way to take some actions to safeguard your data.
I immediately went to HaveBeenPwned.com and checked out all my email addresses. My personal one had 3 items where I needed to change my password ( I actually had already taken care of two) but I had no idea that i had a myspace account.
In one of the other articles that I read talked about you might not even know you had an account, if you signed up and never used it or if you changed platforms and did not deactivate the account, then it is still there with your username/password/birthday/security questions. The same birth date and security questions you currently use on other sites. CHANGE THESE
I went to myspace, sent a password request and waited. Was my account still active? Nothing came. It must be over 10+ years since I would have had a myspace account. In fact, I don't ever remember having one. It says the hack was in 2008 and it took 8 years for myspace to report it.
You can't trust the Online platforms to self regulate. YOU must be diligent about your information, use safeguards and check.

What Margaret Thatcher can teach your church
On the day of the funeral of Margaret Thatcher, Britain's longest serving Prime Minister of the last 150 years, tributes continue to be been paid from all-sides of the political debate. Love her or loathe her no one denies that, through her leadership, she changed the face of a nation and her influence continues to be felt across the world to this day.
Looking back over her time in office, what made her the leader she was? Here's a personal take on seven qualities identified by Thatcher and those who knew her that shaped her leadership. Seven qualities that all leaders can learn from starting in this post with 1) conviction and 2) clear vision.
1. Conviction
Margaret Thatcher famously said above all I am not a consensus politician but a conviction politician. Her leadership was borne out of a strong moral conviction that what she believed in was what could make Britain great again. And Thatcher was to attribute her success to this unswerving conviction in the rightness of her cause. After nearly ten years in office she still maintained if you just set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time and you would achieve nothing.
Leadership not borne of strong conviction is leadership that will fail. Even when at her lowest political ebb, in 1981, she argued pragmatism is not enough, nor is the fashionable word consensus. To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects.'
Lord Saatchi, in an interview on the BBC the morning after Margaret Thatcher's death, paid tribute to this quality. He summarised her outlook in the following way:
The aim in that period when she was leader of the opposition was to present an ism, called conservatism, which in her mind was a philosophy and the object of the exercise was to explain that philosophy and see if people would support it and now we have a situation all these years later where you can tap anyone on the shoulder any where in the world and ask them 'what did Mrs Thatcher believe in?' and you will get a straight answer in a second.
Applying this principle of leadership to churches we might well ask whether it is obvious what we, as a church, stand for? We also have to ask are our principles matters of conviction,derived from God's word and God's purpose for the church in the world, rather than our own ideas? Do we lead from conviction or consensus?
2. Clarity of vision
Thatcher had not only strong convictions which guided her actions but a clear vision of where she wanted to take the nation. Henry Kissinger comments on why he thought Thatcher was a breathe of fresh air as a leader in her generation: The appearance of a leader that confidently asserted a vision of the future and, was wiling to tackle the economic problems of the day based on an alternative theory, had both a practical impact and also a psychological and moral impact on the period in which she lived.
He concludes her view was that leaders should define themselves by clearly articulating for their public their vision of their future.
What can we learn? It couldn't harm if we as Christian leaders were to ask ourselves just how clearly are we articulating a vision for our particular churches? Are we able to assert not just guiding values that under-pin our ministries but a compelling vision as to where such principles might take us? For example, it is surely a good thing for a church to affirm the spread of the gospel as a necessary core value, it is another thing to set out a vision for how the church will seek to see the gospel go out over the next, say, 5 to 10 years.
In our next post we consider what it meant for Thatcher to be a leader defined by courage, clear communication and commitment to her cause.
This man wants to change the way you lead
Al Mohler's new book on leadership has recently dropped through my letterbox. The conviction to lead: 25 principles for leaership matters is everything that you might expect; wise, clear, biblical and focused! Above all else what guides Mohler's principles for leadership however, is conviction. He writes I want to fundamentally change the way leadership is understood and practiced.
It won't do to ignore best practice in leadership as some evangelicals are prone to do. We cannot hide in our studies, write a few sermons and pay our pastoral visits and believe we are doing all we are called to do as church ministers. Leading a church requires much more than that. But neither can we reduce our role to that of 'leaders' who mimic the world, seeking to take a church forward through motivation, vision, strategy and models of leadership. Mohler seeks to bring these, too often separate, worlds together. His purpose in the book? My goal is to redefine Christian leadership so that it is inseparable from passionately held beliefs [convictions], and to motivate those who are deeply committed to truth to be ready for leadership. Let a book like this shape your ministry and that of others in your church. Be clearer on your convictions and put those convictions to work as you learn to lead through them.
Here is Mohler on The Leader and Death
A legacy is what is left in the wake of a great leader. The leader is gone from the scene, but his influence remains essential to the direction and culture of the work he led. Once again, conviction is central. The idiosyncrasies of the leader will not (or should not) remain. The plans and visions of the leader will be outdated soon after his burial. The style of the leader is a personal signature. Your tastes will not be the tastes of the future. Yet none of this really matters. What matters is that the convictions survive.
Remember that leadership is conviction transformed into united action. If the convictions are right, the right actions will follow. The wise leader does not try to perpetuate matters of style and taste, or even plans and programs. The leader who aims at a legacy aims to perpetuate conviction. If the conviction is truly perpetuated, all the rest will follow. If the convictions are not perpetuated, none of the rest really matters. The leader who truly leads by conviction drives those convictions deep into the foundation of the movement. A legacy is built on that foundation as convictions frame reality.
Every leader needs to know the reality that we will die one day and that others will take our place. Hopefully, these new leaders will bring talents and abilities and vision greater than our own. Our greatest concern, however, is that they come with a wealth of conviction. Otherwise, all that we build can be turned against the very truths we have championed.
Are you man enough?…part 2
In an earlier post I looked at what the Bible has to say about men and leadership.
The key to leadership is letting your definition of leadership be set by the one man who can truly teach us what it means to lead. For Jesus, leadership was three things 1) God-dependent, 2) servant-hearted, 3) leadership of others.
To learn to lead you must therefore first be willing to be led by Jesus. So below are the final three points from my City Church men's breakfast talk;
5. To be a leader you have to lead others to the gospel
Where in your leadership are you seeking to lead others? As we lead our Christian family and other Christians for whom we have responsibility, the need is to show them Jesus and lead them to him.
CJ Mahaney in his book Humility asks 'What are your ambitions for your children?'
Are any of your ambitions for your child more important to you than their cultivation of humility and servanthood –the basis for true greatness as biblically defined? Are you more interested in temporal recognition for your child than you are in his eternal reward? Ultimately, that's what parenting is mostly about – it's about preparing our children for the final day.
If you are ambitious for your child's godliness, what will that mean for you as a leader?
As we lead others at work we seek to lead in a way that commends the gospel. Servant leadership is quite a contrast with lordship-leadership, which seeks to use others for selfish reasons. Servant-leaders are able to get the best from employees or colleagues under their lead by taking a genuine interest and serving their needs. As we lead in this way, so we commend Christ to all around us.
Q. Is your priority for others their eternal salvation?
6. To be a leader you have to know whom God has called you to lead
Godly leadership involves making right priorities. God calls on us to lead those we are called to lead. There is a God-given hierarchy to our responsibilities.
That means that to lead in the wrong way is a failure to lead. Jesus knew this for himself when tempted by others, including his own disciples, to pursue a healing ministry. In Mark 1:32-39, Jesus goes to a place to be with his Father and on return renews his commitment to move on from a town where he was wanted and needed, to preach the gospel elsewhere because he understood that God had commissioned him to preach – a ministry that in time would lead to his rejection.
We are to lead our wives and children ahead of our work colleagues, for example.
Q. How might leadership in one part of your life be an excuse for failing to lead in a more important part?
7. To be a leader is to lead through your God-given personality & God-given gifts
There is diversity in the body of Christ. God has not given you the same gifts as others in the church and he has given you a unique personality. We lead through our God-given strengths and have to work on our weaknesses.
Some of us are initiative-takers, others more passive. Some fear confrontation, others are too confrontational, etc. There is no one type that you have to aspire to. Introverts can lead and often do lead better than extroverts. The key is a better knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses so that you are better equipped to lead well.
Q. What has God made you good at and how does that help you lead, what weaknesses do others see that you need to work on?
Are you man enough? …..part 1
What does it mean to be man?
This morning at the City Church men's breakfast we looked at the thorny issue of men and leadership. Let's start with three models for masculinity:
Model 1. Bear Grylls the super-man – strength, self-sufficiency and invincibility
On one website the all-action hero was described this way: The writer and television presenter is known for his amazing feats and has paraglided over the Himalayas, escaped from quicksand and snacked on a still wriggling snake.Bear has also run Class V rapids in the lower Zambezi (without a raft), plunged beneath the ice of a frozen lake in Siberia while naked, and even avoided alligators on his way through the Everglades.
Model 2. Homer Simpson the useless man – immaturity, incompetence and irresponsibility
HOMER: Okay, brain. You don't like me, and I don't like you, but let's get through this thing and then I can continue killing you with beer.
HOMER's Brain: It's a deal!
Model 3. Jesus the perfect man – the God-dependent, servant-hearted, leader of other
The perfect man is Jesus and we need to look to him to learn to be a man. Jesus shows us that to be a man involves three things: It is a God-dependent, servant-hearted, leader of others.
Learning to lead – 7 ways to lead like Jesus
1. To be a leader you have to be willing to be led
Leading is not an synonym for autonomous, self-sufficient existance. It's not an excuse to no longer listen or learn. If you are to be a godly leader you will know your need to let Christ lead you. The Apostle Paul writes Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ – 1 Cor.11:1.
As you follow Jesus you learn how to lead. He was THE God-dependent, servant-hearted, leader.
Q. Are you looking to Jesus to lead you? What does that mean?
2. To be a leader you have to first lead yourself
You are the most difficult person you will ever lead. – Bill Hybels. Unless you can begin to lead yourself you will not be ready to lead others.
Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus – Philippians 3:13-14 (c.f. 2 Tim 4:7, 1 Cor. 9:24-27).
Q. Are you making progress in leading yourself? Where might you be failing to take responsibility for your life? Your character, your sin, your time, etc..
3. To be a leader you must see leadership as living out the gospel
It's not just a question of whether you are leading but why.
Everyone seeks to lead for one of two reasons. We are all of us leading for an identity or from an identity. To lead for an identity will mean our leadership is driven by the need to prove ourselves in some way. Maybe that means to make a name for ourselves by proving our worth to others. To lead from an identity means to be so confident of our identity as children of God and so secure in his love that our leadership is wonderfully liberated from being a tool of self-justification and instead becomes a joyful service of others.
- Leading for an identity works itself out in lordship leadership in which your relationship to others is an opportunity to prove yourself.
- Leading from an identity works itself out in servant leadership in which your relationship to others is an opportunity to offer yourself.
So in a marriage Lordship leadership is an opportunity to be a bully.
Learning to lead like Jesus means that a husband's authority (like the Son's over us) is never use to please himself but only to serve the interests of his wife – Tim & Kathy Keller
Each of us should please our neighbours for their good, to build them up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: 'The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. – Romans 15:2-3
Q. Why do you want to lead? For whose benefit?
4. To be a leader you have to lead others by the gospel
A God-dependent leader recognises his weakness and leads from weakness. The apostle Paul was an apostle of weakness – 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 (c.f 12:7-10 'I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness'). Leaders who lead from the gospel exhibit the following traits;
- Leading in dependence on God
- Leading with the help of others (quick to go to older, wiser Christians)
- Leading by being first to admit fault,
- Leading by being quick to confessing sin,
- Leading by seeking grace
Q. Is it evident to others by your attitudes and actions that you find strength to lead in your weakness?
In a future blog we'll look at points 5-7.
You are the most difficult person you will ever lead
Matt Perman is blogging at the Global Leadership Summit currently taking place at Willow Creek.
His notes on Bill Hybel's talk Leading Yourself are essential reading for all church leaders.
Dig deep and dwell deep – a must watch interview with JI Packer
Carl Trueman unearths nuggets of pure gold from Jim Packer.
Your church needs more than strong leadership
As leaders we not only look to Christ but we look to Christ to become like him as his Spirit works that transformation in us.
So what is it about Christ that you long to see formed in you and manifested in your leadership? His wisdom, his compassion, his boldness, his gentleness? All necessary character traits of any leader made in the image of Christ. But where I wonder does his humility feature?
Humility holds a church together according to Paul. He urges the Philippians (2:3-4) to 'do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself. Each of you should look out not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of other.'
And where does that mindset come from? Chapter 2:5 'Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus'
What then does humble leadership look like?
Ron Edmondson has posted really helpfully offering 10 attributes of a humble leader. Work these into your pattern and example of leadership and Christ will not only be seen in you but your church.
Are you a leader people want to follow? 7 things to look for
Looking to be a leader? Ron Edmonson's 7 Qualities of a Followable Leader is well worth a read…
Are you a leader and an introvert? What do you need to look out for?
Ron Edmondson has highlighted some of the weaknesses, apparent and perceived, in leadership for an introvert. Well worth a read. It's also a great reminder of how crucial it is to be self-aware in leadership and why although we may want to simply play to strengths we do need to compensate for our weaknesses if we are to lead well.
If you are a leader why are you investing all your time in the wrong people?
Dave Kraft in his excellent book Leaders who last says
A leaders greatest assets are the people he influences, one of the real challenges in leadership is to figure out what kinds of people one should be involved with and what amount of time should be invested.
The big mistake Leaders make is to fail to be intentional as to who gets their time. We react to the demands of others rather than pro-actively seeking to develop others.
Kraft argues that there are 5 types of people we interact with in our role as leaders
1. Resourceful people (people who motivate you, inspire you, equip you as a leader)
2. Important people (people who have important roles in the church because they are fellow leaders, occupy positions of responsibility etc. So fellow church officers; Elders, Deacons, Treasurer, ministry area leaders, staff, etc.)
3. Trainable people (men and women who demonstrate potential. Godly, gifted and available people who could lead in the future)
4. Nice people (people who's company we simply enjoy. They might be encouragers or people with similar personalities with whom we 'click'.)
5. Draining people (people with needs, often long term, who look to us to help sustain them over a long-term)
I'm not quite sure what the category titles mean (I've had a go at filling out the detail next to each title but they are my interpretation rather than his).
The point that Kraft is making is that we need to be deliberate and strategic in who gets our time.
Here are his 'Seven habits of Highly ineffective Leaders'
1. They spend too much time managing and not enough time leading
2. They spend too much time counseling the hurting people and not enought time developing the people with potential
3. They spend too much time putting out fires and not enough time lighting fires.
4. They spend too much time doing and not enough time planning
5. They spend too much time teaching the crowd and not enough time triaming the core
6. They spend too much time doing it themselves and not enough time doing it through others
7. They make too many decisions based on organisational politics and too few decisions based on biblical principles.
His conclusion
Why is so little time invested in the right kinds of people? The draining and nice people get all the prime time. The resourceful and the trainable get the leftovers.
I strongly suggest that you arrange your life, time, and weekly schedule to be able to invest in trainable people; growing hungry, teachable disciples; and potential leaders.

21 Shows to Watch Before Catching Some Zzz's
If you're like us, watching TV before bed can be a relaxing experience. So we've compiled a list of some of the best shows to watch before catching those zzz's.

text: Parents putting 'fat' babies on slimming diet Baby news News & Gossip 5 Chubby US babies are being put on weight-loss diet before their first birthday So much for cute dimples and chubby cheeks! Some US parents are so concerned about their child's future weight, they're putting their little ones on diets while they are still in important stages of growth. Although one in 10 US children is overweight by the age of 2, experts are concerned that parents are not responding in a helpful way to the problem. Many do not understand their own relationship with food and how to set a good example to their children. "I have seen parents putting their infant and 1-year-old on diets because of history in one parent or another," said Dr Jatinder Bhatia from the American Academy of Pediatrics. We already know that children's relationship with eating and dieting can be influenced by their parents, but this is another level. Cases of eating disorders have also risen in the States by 119% between 1999 and 2006 and there are fears that forcing diets on very young children can harm their self-esteem. Dr Jatinder told ABC that dieting for babies was not the answer to the obesity crisis but that, "We need to stop the notion that fat, cuddly, cute babies are a good thing." She recommended speaking to your doctor when you begin weaning about giving your child a balanced diet and suggested new mums should breastfeed at least for the first six months as this has been linked to lower obesity rates. For more tips on how to feed your child healthy and nutritious food, check out our feeding section. By Kimberley Smith 5 Comments Share Like this article? Showing of audrey1234 At last people are starting to realise that a fat baby is not a healthy baby. I have seen people give their small babys' chocolate, milk shakes in a bottle - generally just rubbish food that a baby should not be getting. Probably even worse in America though, they have probably been getting fast food diets. Peeling vegetables and washing fruit is not hard, nor do they work out expensive if you make a dinner for the family, takeaways are more expensive. youngmummy I completely agree, I was always being told my daughters looked hungry and isn't it a shame that they don't have chubby arms and legs, That was just my Gran. They were breastfed and lean but strong and healthy and their weight gain was slow and steady but they looked very different to my formula fed nieces with chubbier faces and arms and legs. They all look the same now they are older but my nieces don't like drinking milk if its not formula and are reluctant to try eating the same things my daughters will try. The price of baby food horrifies me, I breastfeed as long as I could to avoid paying £7 for formula and a bag of carrots and parsnips costs less than a jar of baby food and can feed the entire family of 5. More importantly, from my experience it fills them for longer and they are more likely to be happy to have savoury snacks. When they have had baby food for convience when travelling or out for the day they want anything sweet and seem to suffer from low blood sugar and be very ratty coming up to mealtimes. audrey1234 I breastfed all my children too, and according to the growth chart, they are underweight. That doesn't bother me, as they will 'fill out' as they get into their late teens, so no point in making them fat before then. My children can run about for ages, and have loads of energy, and my toddler hates jars of baby food, would rather have proper food. cam banner My friends eight month old breast fed son weighs 3 pounds more than my three year son (who was bottle fed). Obviously a balanced diet is important but I think it is ridiculous to be too concerned about these weight charts. theoldwomanwholivesinashoe You don't need to put them on a diet.You just need to feed them a healthy balanced diet to start with. There will be some variation from baby to baby,so babies,children and adults are fatter,some skinnier,I've noticed that with my own children,yet they all eat the same.It's not always the bottlefed ones that are the fattest either.My eldest daughter was breastfed till 8 months,but at her check up I was told she was obese.My number 5 was bottlefed and has always been small and thinner.My youngest was bottle fed from the start,he's tall,he always was,but there's not much meat on him at all. If you're sensible about what you're feeding your child,and how much you're feeding them, there's no need to put them on any special diet. Uh-oh! You need to be logged in to do this...

You may have read our comparison with buying and selling property to heart surgery.
You would always choose an experienced expert to conduct serious medical operations, yet sometimes the general public are quite happy to instruct novices to sell their property with little experience in the industry.
Buying a house (and selling one) needs to be analogous with heart surgery.
You need someone with expertise, experience and qualifications.
So what should be your first 10 steps in buying a property?
- Go online, bookmark and save properties from portals and estate agency websites and keep an eye on time on the market, changes in asking price and switch of estate agents. These can give you great insights as a buyer.
- Get your finances sorted out. Find an IFA or mortgage provider who will assess affordability and find the best deal to provide an Agreement in Principle.
- Portal power play. The big portals, Zoopla, Prime Location and Rightmove, allow you to register for property alerts within set locations, along with other criteria like price, number of bedrooms. Drop your data into portals and you'll know when that dream property is launched.
- Use social media. At Power Bespoke, we have active and engaging social media accounts and we do find buyers on Twitter, Facebook etc as they see a new listing in their social feeds, comment, like or share and viewings are arranged. As a buyer, get in the habit of liking and following estate agents' Instagram, Facebook, Twitter feeds, so you're the first to see.
- Do a Google search for estate agencies in your area and register your details with them. At Power Bespoke, we have an extensive database of qualified buyers and they are alerted when a new property is listed. You should do the same with agents based in the area you want to live.
- Use a buyers' agent. This is a service that is standard practice in the USA, but guess what? Not here. But we are different, Power Negotiators is a new professional buying service – you leave us to go head to head with the selling agent to negotiate the best buying price for you.
- Professional services. As well as having a wide database of buyers and sellers, we have a growing portfolio of tried, tested and trusted contacts – mortgage providers, surveyors, builders and removal firms – whose values chime with ours. You need to get professional services sorted out as part of buying a property.
- You have everything in place – now for the best bit of house buying – drawing up a shortlist. Once you have a list, you can then arrange viewings for these and decide which is the perfect property for you.
- See point 6. We can't emphasise this enough – if a property is priced accurately at the outset, it will sell. You have to able to make tangible and realistic offers that have a good chance of being accepted. More importantly, perhaps. Is making an offer that will align with a mortgage company's valuation. If a property is overvalued to get the listing by an estate agency under pressure of targets, that house may have a £100,000 price hike added to it. Don't be naive – do your research and find out what the real valuation should be. We can help you.
- Exchange and completion. The legal bit where contracts are exchanged and completion takes place. The end of the journey if you like. Use a professional and reputable conveyancing team who can make exchange of contracts and completion more secure.
There you have it – 10 steps to buying a house.
If you need any more help with selling or buying, please don't hesitate to contact us ar Power Negotiators.
We can help with all ten and maybe even carry a box or two into your new home!

|Carla Bley Big Band
Since the forties, big bands were increasingly the domain of white musicians.In the course of the sixties, Don Ellis outdistanced the metric preoccupations of jazz-rock. Carla Bley, with her compositions evoking the worlds of Charles Ives, Eric Satie and Kurt Weill, introduced a dimension of parody.
As for Gil Evans
and George Russell, their invariably avant-garde writing led them to the
dismantling of the structures of the big band, frequently shrinking the
wind section, shifting the weight to the rhythm section, and adopting a
freedom inherited from free jazz. Aura (1989) was the first record Miles Davis brought out with a large group since he recorded Quiet Night with Gill Evans in 1962.

Bread Storage with Lid
The bread box with bamboo lid by Remember impresses not only with its striking design, but also through its functionality. The melamine box with typical Remember patterns keeps breadrolls and loaves fresh. The genuine bamboo lid which protects the box's contents can also simultaneously serve as a cutting board or for serving freshly prepared nibblies.

Clearly for him the concept of female magnificence could be defined merely as bodily attractiveness. When you suppose a woman looks like as we speak, which we think about beautiful and shortly examine with Mary Stuart, who grew to become queen of Scotland in 1542, we will perceive more easily how associated concepts of beauty have changed over time, may also do a overview of the standards imposed by society.
If, in the seventeenth century, Puritans have cataloged, make-up and dresses adorned as sinful, supporting ladies's rounded forms, the century that followed was one in the which the emphasis is on bodily pleasures, ladies are considered as a sort of lovely objects.
In fact, American beauty hasn't been stagnant from the '50s till now, however in comparison with the time-locked beauty practices and types of those women's motherland youths, the largely white, non-editorial make-up and beauty market supplied a look into an on a regular basis" American aesthetic that often conflicted with traditions overseas.
Advantage & Magnificence: Leonardo's Ginevra De' Benci and Renaissance Portraits of Girls , a superbly illustrated and exquisitely designed quantity of paintings, sculpture, medals, and drawings celebrates the extraordinary flowering of female portraiture, primarily in Florence, beginning in the latter half of the fifteenth century.

Yesterday I received my parcel of goodies from Lorraine of The Balancing Kiwi for the Green Swap, which was arranged by myself and Emma over at our That Little Bit Greener blog. The postman was keeping me in suspense with this one! The parcel originally turned up on Tuesday but went back to the sorting office as I was out, so I had to arrange re-delivery and it didn't turn up til about 3 o'clock yesterday! But it was definitely worth waiting for!
The rules for this swap were simple - everything had to fit in with the "green" theme, so organic, recycled, repurposed, you get the picture. Lorraine had definitely done her homework and sent me a fab bundle of goodies.
Oops! Didn't realise that pic was so blurry, sorry 'bout that! Anyway, Lorraine sent me a "pre-loved" book, a jam jar of buttons, a pin cushion made from vintage materials, a lovely pot holder, a recipe for carrot cake, a little pot of sweet pea seeds (from her own garden, and the pot was an old film canister!), a lovely crocheted washcloth, a fab bag made from an old pair of jeans, and a beautiful china teacup & saucer with a candle inside.
Lorraine also sent a letter explaining the green "credentials" of each item, and a lovely homemade notecard featuring our TLBG logo!
Thank you so much Lorraine, for all your wonderful gifts! We were obviously on the same wavelength as we both sent each other a book, seeds, buttons and recipes! If you want to see what I sent to Lorraine then pop over to her post here. I actually found this swap quite a challenge, I think my crafting is definitely an area that could do with some "greening up" but, hopefully, this swap has given me a few more ideas for the future.

A Dutch Oven Breakfast
I sliced the last of the potatoes and onions... topped them with butter and pepper..
layered slices of grilled smoked back bacon from an earlier meal....
more tatoes, onions and butter....
thought about going the "white sauce" route but had some pepper gravy mix on hand...
let the pot simmer til the tatoes were almost tender....
topped with some of my apple pecan cold smoked Jack cheese....
then a bacon lattice... (the last of the bacon)
added more hot coals to crisp the bacon...
Not sure if being tired and hungry had anything to do with it.... but this tasted really good. :)

That looked pretty good cowgirl. I will have to borrow the bacon weave for when I cook potatoes. I usually cook the bacon up and layer it in as I layer the potatoes in. But that would be good for presentation.

Welterweight Lyman Good has been a part of Bellator since the organization's inception and even wore divisional gold for a time. However, his contract is on the cusp of expiring, potentially giving Good the type of professional freedom he hasn't had in years.
Unfortunately, as avid MMA enthusiasts have learned in light of Eddie Alvarez's legal limbo, cutting ties with Bellator could be a tricky prospect. Though Good is open to re-signing with the company, he recently told Fightline he's anxious to see how things will unfold.
"There's definitely concern with that. It's actually sad. It's pretty f*cked up the whole situation with Eddie Alvarez, especially now that he's in his prime and he should be fighting right now and they are putting him on the shelf," admitted the 15-3 Good. "As an observer of all this and being part of Bellator it's a little disconcerting to see all this happen. We'll see what happens. We're going to go to the negotiating table right now and we'll see what happens next."
"Cyborg" also confirmed the UFC had already inquired about his deal, perhaps seeing if pursuing the 28-year old striker is a worthwhile endeavor or another fruitless foray.
"There has been word that the UFC had contacted me awhile back, questioning my contract with Bellator right now. My management is dealing with that right now," said Good. "They're taking care of it. I just focus on fighting. They take care of the direction that my career is going."
Good picked up a win over Dante Rivera in April the last time he set foot in the cage. The victory was his fourth in five fights.
