Buying while the Euro's weak? Consider Capping your Interest Rate
What does it mean to cap a loan?
Investopedia explains it best:
"If the variable rate on a similar loan goes above the capped rate, the capped rate loan holder gets the benefit of not having to pay the extra portion. While this is a benefit, capped rate loans may have higher interest rates than a traditional fixed rate loan."
A normal interest rate is allowed to fluctuate, taking into account market forces and the rate of inflation amongst other things. This means that although you may agree on a base amount when borrowing money, the rate can change quite drastically depending on market stability.
Setting a cap on an interest rate is a means of escaping market fluctuations and a potential hike in your interest rate. For example, you could take out a 10-year loan at a rate of 6% with a capped rate of 9%. This means the interest rate can fluctuate up and down, but it can never go higher than the 9% cap.
Capping your rate will provide you with a hybrid of a fixed and variable rate loan. The fixed part comes from the capped rate itself, and the variable part comes from the loan's ability to move up or down with market fluctuations. It is currently a good time to cap as we are reaching the bottom of interest rate cycling, that is to say rates will soon be rising again and capping may be able to protect you from potential increase in your payments.
There are 2 main ways of capping in France; you can cap the rate or cap the repayment.
- Capping the Rate: You could take a fixed rate though you will be liable to penalties for early redemption. Instead if you cap the rate then you know from day one what your maximum rate will be and will avoid penalties for paying off the loan early (except if you re-mortgage).
- Capped repayment: with this product the rate is variable but the monthly repayment is 'locked' and can only go up by rate set by INSEE (The National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies). If the base interest rate increases then the bank can increase the term of the loan by up to 5 years. Once the 5 year extension has been reached, the monthly payment will start to edge up but only by the inflationary rate, not by the interest rate increase.
The main advantage of capping is that the starting rates are currently very low so you will be securing your repayments at a good rate. As you can repay without penalty, you can also control the terms by saving separately and making ad hoc payments if you choose to.

It's been a rough ride for Africa's only G20 economy under President Jacob Zuma, who lost the support of the ruling African National Congress on Tuesday.
Zuma's nine years in office have been marred by a series of scandals that eroded investor confidence. He has now been officially "recalled" by the ANC, placing him under enormous pressure to resign.
If he goes, the country's new leader is likely to be Cyril Ramaphosa, a former labor union leader turned wealthy businessman.
Since Ramaphosa's appointment as president of the ANC in December, the South African rand has gained 10% against the U.S. dollar, reflecting investor hopes that change is imminent.
But he'll face an uphill task. Under Zuma's watch, the South African economy sank into recession twice — in 2009 and 2017 — falling behind its emerging market peers.
GDP growth has averaged less than 2% since 2009, one of the weakest rates in sub-Saharan Africa.
George Glynos, managing director, ETM Analytics, says the government needs to go "back to basics" to restore confidence.
Appoint new officials
Changing the cabinet will be important. Removing "Zuma's cronies and restoring a more meritocratic approach," is a vital first step, Glynos said.
The minister of finance is under the spotlight. Malusi Gigaba was appointed by Zuma after the president fired his respected predecessor Pravin Gordhan — a move that sent the rand tumbling.
Gigaba and other key ministers could lose their jobs under new leadership.
Clean up corruption
Ramaphosa will also have to clean up the ANC. It's not just about removing members, but also ensuring there are consequences for corruption.
Zuma had clung to power despite being mired in a slew of corruption scandals, using his presidency as a shield.
Glynos said his refusal to "bow down to his own movement is proof that his motivation all along was self-serving and mostly about self-preservation."
Overhaul state-owned businesses
State-owned businesses have been tied to corruption scandals, and accused of misusing tax dollars.
Getting them back on track won't be easy.
Eskom, the state-owned electric company, and national carrier South African Airways may need to be partially privatized.
Keep to a budget
The country's debt-to-GDP ratio has risen significantly, jumping to over 50% in 2016 from 31% in 2009.
Getting spending under control will be a challenge, especially during a period of slow economic growth. The balance between spending and growth will be watched closely by credit rating agencies.

New Delhi, Jun 14 (PTI) Dassault Aviation, makers of the Rafale jet, along with Reliance Defence today interacted with players from the aerospace industry to promote Business-to- Business interactions between the French and Indian aerospace manufacturers.
"The ambition is to develop a complete supply chain allowing the completion of the existing ambitious Rafale (50 per cent) offsets obligations," a statement from Dassault Aviation said.
In September last year, India signed a 7.87 billion euros with France to acquire 36 Rafale jets for the Indian Air Force.
The 50 per cent offset clause means that Indian businesses, both big and small, will gain work to the tune of over three billion Euros.
This B2B interface between the French and domestic entrepreneurs aims to deepen existing links, create new opportunities of collaboration and work towards establishing a defence manufacturing eco-system in India, the statement said.
More than 200 delegates from over 60 Indian and 25 French companies participated in the event organised in cooperation with Rafale Industrial Partners like Thales, Safran and MBDA.
As part of this cooperation between the Indian and French companies, Indian partners will benefit from the technological know-how transfers opportunities. PTI PR SMJ

The Quick and Dirty:
Decent premise of a ghostly figure trying to trap a girl (who may be imagining it all) in the hellish world of the Florentine plague; actually about an insipid girl who deserves to be trapped and a crazy ghost figure who would be my #1 target in an Inquisition.
The Wordy Version:
May is spending the summer in Florence to avoid the shakeup of her parents' divorce under the guise of helping a family friend research a travel guide. What seems like an interminably scholarly trip turns life-threatening when a doppelgänger from 1348 starts to haunt May and offer her a portal to Florence of the Middle Ages. As much as May tries to get involved with her present life, she is preoccupied by the harm her historical twin may be doing in 1348, and wonders if being trapped in the midst of the Black Plague would be as bad as it seems.
Time travel has been done so often that characters crossing into a world that ended before they were born doesn't seem unusual. What is peculiar in Plague in the Mirror is that there is almost no logical impetus to engage in the time travel. 1348 is approximately the worst time in the second millennium to travel to Florence. Almost thirty years after the death of Dante and thirty years before the birth of Brunelleschi (whose famous dome is the modern image of the city), the only thing 1348 Florence has of interest it is its newly created republican government ...and the Bubonic Plague.
Middle Ages scholars may disagree with me, but I cannot figure out what appeal there would be in visiting a medieval city during a health crisis. As a writing convenience, setting up 1348 Florence as a hell if May were trapped is a good idea because it ratchets up the stakes for her to avoid being there. During May's first visit we see "a young man in formfitting—that is, bulging—tights and a short, stained tunic…leering into her face. He has winey breath, and his bad teeth are bared, his head tilted like a curious dog's." There are "sinister towers" and "diseased-looking sausage links and sides of ham, swathed in flies," "beds of filthy straw." Everything about these descriptions convinces me of the undesirability of being there.
I would say "job well done" for setting up the stakes, except that the main character, May, seems to ignore all of the bad stuff that she is observing in those scenes! May has the choice to visit 1348 or stay in the present, and after her first visit she continues to return. For May, 1348 Florence is a previously living hell that contains one artist apprentice, Marco, who is every sort of Italian artist sexy May can imagine. Her one encounter with Marco (which involves about three sentences of broken dialogue because THEY DON'T SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE) convinces her that she has found her true love on the other side of time, and that he feels the same way. Because May's look-alike, Cristofana, knows May likes Marco, Cristofana uses him as bait and then as a hostage, and instead of May doing the logical thing of telling herself that none of this matters because they already died hundreds of years earlier, May lets this go to her head.
"A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment," says Mr. Darcy early in Pride and Prejudice. I am convinced that even the self-satisfied Darcy of that point of the novel would underestimate May's ability to jump from admiration to married life seven centuries before her birth. It's astounding that May has no friends or interests that convincingly ground her in the twenty-first century. It is equally baffling that May doesn't consider the language and culture differences that would separate her from Marco if she stayed.
(On the subject of languages, I am mystified at Cristofana's ability to converse with May. Cristofana, living in 1348, says her mother was English and taught her the language. A word of linguistic context here: in the fourteenth century, people in England spoke Middle English, which is very different from what speak today. As an example, the dialect that Chaucer uses in the Canterbury Tales is the most accessible form of Middle English (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0ybnLRf3gU) and I would be exhausted trying to figure out a conversation carried out in that. And chances are that Cristofana's English could not have been so Chaucerian since he was only born in 1343.
I understand arguments for not using Middle English for Cristofana's dialogue, including that the unfamiliar language would have made May's time travel choices even weirder. But it would have given clarity to May's potential mental problems if her twin could not have conversed with everyone in modern Florence while they switched places. Apologies for the side-rant.)
May's imagination is certainly vivid when it comes to relationships, but it's not clear if that creativity carries over to other parts of her life. According to her childhood friend (potentially with benefits), "[May] always had to invent these worlds and assign everyone names and make costumes. It was freaking exhausting." This same friend suggests that May's time travel could be psychological, and that May could use some help. The potential for Plauge to turn into a psychological thriller makes the middle section of the novel more palatable to read.
Unfortunately the thrills fail to come. May never seems to fully connect with the reader (or even with her own life), and when she finally is in a potentially exciting position, all she can muster is passive acceptance. If you need one reason to read this book, page 254/255 is it. On a page that should be the culmination of many of May's dreams, May could be replaced by a board, and you might not be able to notice the substitution. Ugh, I have so many problems with this page that the next few paragraphs will be SPOILERS.
He's so intense she doesn't know what to do...until she does. The sleeping child has the bed, so they kneel together in a crouch, settling on the floor among coils of rope and oily stains and splinters and sawdust and chicken feathers.This is without a doubt the most disturbing depiction of consensual sex I've ever read. May "meets the blank stare of a sculpture" instead of the urgent eyes of her sexual partner, and after they're done she asks with what she lost her virginity. And yet she doesn't sense that not being able to communicate with the guy she's sleeping with, and not being convinced of his humanity, are major problems. May has extremely unreliable birth control available to her, but wouldn't that be a normal college-bound girl's first thought the next day? A little, "Holy F***. What if I'm preggers?" would make this scene (slightly) more palatable.
It's hard to look at him as he eases her down, his eyes urgent and sorrowful while he undresses and lowers himself over, pulling her middle close in rough, paint-smeared hands, smoothing the sides of her crimson gown up. So she meets the blank stare of an unfinished sculpture beyond them, until at last he starts kissing her again, and she kisses back, a little fiercely, rolling on top of him in a bliss of rising away and falling and sliding and biting her lip as he moves inside her, moves and moves, and it's like reeling or flying apart.
...May feels sore and ripe and real and wonders did she really lose her virginity with...what? A man who no longer exists? An afterimage? How could something that physical not be real? She isn't sorry or disappointed, not at all, but there's something bittersweet because of Liam. She wouldn't change anything, May thinks, meeting Marco's dark eyes, wouldn't give this back or undo it, but part of her feels like a thief.
(SPOILERS END) Another thing that could make it more to my taste would be any point of view other than the third person present. I took years to get used to first person present, but the buck stops there. NO THIRD PERSON PRESENT. PLEASE. Let this book be a lesson, and examine the effect of changing the verbs to past tense.
To be fair, this was simply not my book. Even if everything I wished different had changed, I might still not have been enamored...I would just be less able to pinpoint things that made it not my book.

Several students at Indiana University South Bend in 2011 filed complaints against campus Chancellor Una Mae Reck, claiming she was violating IU's policy against discrimination by allowing sales of Chick-fil-A sandwiches on campus.
The complaints were based on allegations that the Chick-fil-A chain is intolerant of the gay, bisexual and transgender population.
IU has a policy that prohibits discrimination based on various characteristics, including age, race, marital status, religion and sexual orientation.
The campus controversy died down and Chick-fil-A remains a qualified vendor at IUSB. The chain provided sandwiches for sale at campus dining locations on Wednesday during the 2011-2012 academic year, campus spokesman Ken Baierl said Wednesday.
"During the summer groups of students, faculty and staff occasionally order food items from Chick-fil-A for meetings and events on a catering basis," he said.

I understand that for confidentiality reasons the international Census data is normally only given at the primary or secondary level. I have a question though: what if I am looking at the fourth layer (or fifth layer depending on how you count) for a South African subplace (Bellville and/or Crossroads) that has more than 20,000 people. Would it then be possible to get lower level data?
Jeff Bloem
IPUMS International is only able to provide access to the census data as it is provided to us by national statistical agencies. Therefore, in many cases it is not really up to us to decide what geographical areas are identifiable in the data. In the case of South African census data, in older samples (e.g. 1996 and 2001) lower geographical areas such as municipality (MUNIZA) and magisterial district (MAGISZA) are available. In more recent samples (e.g. 2007 and 2011), however, the district is the lowest level geography identifiable in the data.

COLUMBIA, Md. —
One man died when multiple vehicles were involved in a crash in the Columbia area Wednesday afternoon.
The crash happened on Cedar Lane, north of Harriett Tubman Lane, just after 2 p.m.
Howard County police said a Jeep Liberty crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma was then hit by a Mazda 3.
The driver of the Jeep, identified as 24-year-old Ethan Kirshenbaum, was not wearing his seat belt and was ejected from the car, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Toyota and two passengers from the vehicle were taken to Maryland Shock Trauma. They are stable, police said. The driver of the Mazda was treated at the scene.
Officers closed Cedar Lane until 6 p.m. during their investigation.

Some moments change you forever. They stand apart in your personal timeline as the marvel of a lifetime. This is one of those moments.
That is what a miracle looks like.
We had our baby girl this week. I can't write this without tearing up. I stand all-amazed.
We are more than just flesh and bones, more than a collection of cells and atoms, more than what we see. Life is a miracle. It's a miracle. After EVERYTHING that we know about science, birth, development, babies, and medical science, we still can't explain it or create it on our own. It's God's work and His glory. And life is just that—glorious.
Going through childbirth, you feel your own frailty and helplessness. It is so humbling. Holding your infant you feel their utmost dependence on you and at the same time you feel their strength, individuality and indescribable worth. What a wonder life is. What a wonder.
Life is a gift.
Welcome Home Little Girl
You are our waking dream, little girl.

Another Week Off
Some people have come up to the street and say "Is Koy a chump? Why is he taking another week off? What's the dealio with him, man?". I always just kinda smirk because I know exactly why Koy isn't playing this week. You see, the real reason Koy isn't playing is because he is just too damn cool. Andy Reid was begging Koy to play against the Cowboys. He was on his knees begging. But Koy just said "Look, I want another week to party hardy and get all crazy, just tell everybody my arm isn't healed yet". Of course, Andy is a chump so he started crying but Koy didn't budge. This is his time off and his time to part-ay.
So, what are his plans for his week off? That's a good question, I got it all mapped out for you here:
Monday: Go to Cancun, Mexico with one thing on his mind: party. He'll get all the ladies down there once they realize who he is. He'll just spend the whole day drinking with the hordes of ladies until he just passes out (and that takes a while because Koy can hold his alcohol with the best of them).
Tuesday: Go to the Bahamas with one mission: party hardy. He won't have a hangover from Monday's Cancun trip because he's Koy Detmer and Koy simply does not get hangovers. So he'll down like 72 shots in an hour and then go out and grab some ladies to take back to his little hut he owns in the Bahamas. Once again he will just spend the whole night partying like an animal until he passes out.
Wednesday: Playboy Mansion trip with three objective: party, party and party. All the Playboy bunnies will ignore the other celebrities and flock over to the bearded one, Koy Detmer. He'll probably be so drunk that he'll end up sleeping with a house plant or something but he doesn't even care.
Thursday: Maybe roll into practice after pounding 80 beers. Maybe hold a few kicks and then vomit on AJ Feeley then leave. At night he will probably go to some crazy island that we haven't even heard of because only the biggest celebrities know of it. He'll probably sleep with dozens of big name female celebrities but be too drunk to even know who it is and why they are famous, he's crazy like that.
Friday: Fly to Germany on his private jet to go to one of those crazy German parties. He probably won't like it and then he'll just leave the party with some ladies and take them back to his jet for a little private time.
Saturday: Game time.

Winter wonderland
With her icy breath and swarm of white bees, she tranformed the garden into a magical place for snowmen to be born....
and cats to go adventuring.....

I love reading your comments, so Thankyou for leaving them :)ReplyDelete
The snow has melted away now, apart from a few places in the shade and on the hills in the distance.
Now its muddy and wet everywhere. The river burst its banks and turned into a lake.
I'm glad we live on a hill.

Boston Globe today news that Liverpool could be facing AS Roma in a friendly at Fenway Park this summer. Why Boston? Well that is because both teams have been recently purchased by Boston- based investors. John Henry of the Fenway Sports Group purchased the England club in 2010, taking over from the previous American owners John Hicks and George Gillett. The Rome based club was taken over by minority owner of the Boston Red Sox Thomas DiBenedetto and Celtics owner James Pallotta.
The Red Sox's home of Fenway Park would be the appropriate location to hold this glorious Bostonian occasion, and with the growing interest in the foreign game I would expect to seats filled all the way up to the seats perched on the green monster. This would fall into both of the teams summer tours, dates have not been confirmed but Liverpool is said to be in the Boston area from June 20th-July 4th.

GTR Jordan
My dad came home all hyper today. He went straight to his room and when he came out he was wearing a basketball jersey. hahaha! turns out they have an office league and hes so excited to play. He went on and on talking about how good of a player he was during his prime. Then he went to the kitchen to show my mom some basketball moves while she was cooking. It was so funny watching him pretend to dribble an imaginary ball between his legs. Oh! and he was bragging about how he got the #23 first before anyone could. I couldn't stop laughing. GTR has turned into Jordan.

The best reason to be in a relationship with Violette Pink is the fact that she is one kinky girl who has some really crazy ideas that will end up in a huge amount of pleasure on both parts. This time, she noticed that you have been visiting a lot of strip clubs lately, and after doing some research, she managed to get a pole installed right into your living room. When you arrived home from the strip club one day, you saw Violette in a sexy black dress next to the pole, and when she saw you she offered you a seat right in front of it. You may think to yourself that there is no way that she knows how to use that thing, but once Violette starts performing on the pole, you will definitely get a boner. However, since just pole dancing is not her thing, she is also going to take off her clothes, leaving only her high heels on. Once she feels naked and quite horny, she is going to give you a performance that you will probably never see at the strip club. She will start playing with her pussy by rubbing her clit, and once she gets incredibly wet, she will begin to finger herself too while holding herself with one leg around the pole. But because her body loses control when she is feeling exceptional pleasure, Violette is going to lay down on the ground where she will continue pleasuring herself with her fingers. As she gets closer and closer to the orgasm, her body will start twitching more and more, and the number of her moans will increase correspondingly. By the time she finishes her solo masturbating session, you will definitely realize that being home with a kinky babe like Violette Pink is a lot more fun than a strip club.

What do I do
When I just wanna start something new?
Not the same old same;
Either a one night stand or a real good friend
I don't know how to work it out
Wanna get stuck in the middle, but it's always black or white
Seems like the hardest combination
I really need a mutation
Between the two
Could that be you?
I wanna start a fire and
Keep it burning til the end
Just be my boyfriend

Honey Birdette is a very successful Australian sensuality boutique. The company is now expanding its retail stores internationally. In the UK, Honey Birdette currently has tree stores and expects to have 40 locations by the end of 2018.
The owner of Honey Birdette, entrepreneur Eloise Monaghan, noted that recent sales figures from the United States have shown and almost 400% increase in online sales for her company. Due to this, she launched a new US e-commerce site for her company. She said that this will allow US consumers faster and cheaper delivery, which is free for orders exceeding $50, as well as a better return service and more offerings on the website. She is also planning to open retail stores in the US and is currently eyeing different locations across the nation.
The first cities in the UK to have Honey Birdette stores was London, Westfield, and Leeds. The new locations will include cities such as Liverpool, Leeds, Stratford, and Newcastle.
Honey Birdette sells luxury lingerie, briefs, bras, massage candles, and sex toys. Eloise Monaghan launched the company in 2006 and both the retail stores and online stores have proven to be very popular. While prices start at £60 for bras and £35 for briefs, lingerie at Honey Birdette typically costs around $200 to $250.
Eloise Monaghan started the company when she couldn't find really sexy high-end lingerie that would interject excitement into people's bedrooms. She also wanted to provide carefully sourced and selected sex toys that could be used to heighten intimate passion. Her products have achieved a great deal of success largely due to their uniqueness and high quality.

Computers Meet the Need
One major problem I see in the education system is that teachers need to teach students to their individual needs. If one student is weak in math, take extra time to help him/her don't move on just because the majority of the class has gotten the concept. We need to stop trying to fit all students in the same mold and teach them all the same way. Automated class rooms might be the answer to everyone prayers.
Millions of students in the United States suffer from some sort of a disability, which makes it hard for them to learn in the typical classroom setting. Recently some schools have been doing research to see if technology is the key. Computer-based education can provide curriculum that is specific the help each child learn. With the computer educations and teachers can come up with a larger variety of learning activities for the student to do. Certain activities could exploit the child's strengths and reveal the child's weaknesses to help educators know what changes need to be made for each child.
Parents want their children to succeed, and they'll do almost anything to ensure a proper education. Parents now days have turned to video game systems to help teach their children. This is more so true in the 4-12 years of age range. Such games as Time4Learning and LeapFrog, all have been educational top ranked games that parents are buying. It is a way to entertain and educate children through means of computers and game systems. Technologies can excite to student and make them want to learn. With gaming it makes the student available to reinforce math, reading, and other skills outside of the class room.
The technology is already available for individualized education. Most schools now days offer an online/homeschooling programs such as Ecot. For a school district to take on individualized electronic education the hardest part would be the funding so that every student would have a computer to use. The average school in the United States only has one computer for every 24 students. Proper funding would be needed. The other problem would be developing curriculum for each student. This could be done but having the student take an achievement test or periodically take quizzes that would help let the teachers know what subjects that student needs help with.
Most colleges in America have online classes that students can take. As the student goes through the curriculum and assignments, if he/she doesn't understand something the professor can Email the student documents or information that might better explain the subject. Also with an online class the student has the ability to use the web to help with classes. Some may argue that they're cheating by looking up answers; but I argue that in life it's not what you know, it's what you can research and find. Using the web or other sources isn't cheating it using your resources.
Schools already offer (IEP) individualized education plans for students that are considered "special education" or that mat have a disabilities. The ability for educators to size up what a student needs help with is there as well as the technology. All we need to do is now convince the parents and school districts that each student should have a plan developed for just for them to meet their education needs; that way every student's abilities will be exploited and they get the best out of their education. Individualized education plans would better prepare students for college and to join the work force. IEPs are the way to take each student out of a mold and make them unique, where they get help in subjects they are lacking in.
If schools would get outside of the box of traditional or standard education practices the students would benefit tremendously. Take what we know about individualized learning plans of children with special needs and apply it towards every child, with the combined technology of computers to make it easier on the teaching staff and the students and what you'll have is an education system that reaches to all students with better effectiveness than previously seen through traditional standards. All that is needed is a community backed program and sufficient funding to get it started. Once the initial cost is covered it will benefit future generations as well as the present.

Designer Anand Kabra does not believe in the mundane when it comes to fashion presentations. In the past, he has showcased through installations and shows. This time, he took it up a notch by transforming Level P6 Parking into a beautiful fashion experience during Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2016. His collection of party and bridal wear conjured a beautiful mélange of ensembles, which had a distinctive traditional touch to them.
As soon as the lights came on, the models floated in like a dream, wearing garments, which reflected the designer's undeterred love for Indian embroidery. The carefully chosen color palette consisted of beige, maroon, midnight blue and gold. The USP of the collection was the copious use of traditional Indian embroidery, such as gota, aina, resham, zar and pitta.
The silhouettes that glided through the show consisted of lehengas, shararas, floor-length anarkalis, jackets and saris. A traditional rendition of the jumpsuit, crafted in a beautiful shade of midnight blue, teamed with a gold embroidered jacket, stood out distinctively. A beige cotton sari, featuring the traditional Hyderabadi style zardosi work called zar, on the border, was worn with a metallic gold jacket.
The bride-to-be this season will definitely feel like a royal princess in the exquisite blue lehenga, which showcased the zar embroidery along the hemline. Teamed with a long metallic gold jacket, the ensemble was the ideal choice for a modern-day girl for her big day.
Anand Kabra's collection held the audience spellbound with its portrayal of elegant, contemporary silhouettes. The aesthetically appealing garments will surely be lauded by the New Age woman.

A new take on the classic salad Niçoise. This lean salad is bulked out by storecupboard cannellini beans and flavoured with dill and lemon
Put a pan of water on to boil with a steamer above. When boiling, lower the eggs into the water and steam the asparagus above for 8 mins.
Meanwhile, gently toss all the other ingredients together and arrange on plates or in rigid containers. Plunge the eggs into cold water to cool them a little, then peel and quarter. Add the eggs and asparagus to the tuna salad. Will keep in the fridge for 2 days.

"Software industry graveyards are littered with the remains of products that tried to challenge the dominance of Microsoft Corp.'s Office software. Some of the tombstones have the letters IBM carved into them - remember SmartSuite? You can still buy it, but almost nobody does.
So why is IBM Corp.'s Michael Rhodin, general manager of the Lotus software division in Westford, taking another run at Office, with a free office software alternative called Lotus Symphony? After all, Lotus's core business is collaboration software, like its Notes and Domino products, which help business teams work together from anywhere in the world. What's that got to do with word processors and spreadsheets?
Quite a lot, it turns out."

Next Sunday, after an absence of four years, my weekly music show returns, not new shows - the preparation time is far too large - but a re-run of the originals.
Every Sunday morning for more than a year I presented music I love, based on YouTube music videos. There was always a theme: artist, genre, composer …. whatever.
It's been so long that I've lost touch with most of the music and so I've decided to repeat the series - but not in chronological order. I long to hear my choices again.
This blog will have different readers too.
Perhaps you will enjoy the music.
I learned so much!
My musical tastes expanded enormously, entering areas which I had deemed no-go areas.
I was open to music!
I was alive!
Join me next Sunday morning, 22 February, from midnight UK time.
Don't forget your coffee!

At this age there is no score keeping or anything, just learning the basics of the game. His team was in the field first and while he did tend to chew on his glove the whole time he was out there he also ran for the ball every time someone hit it, no matter where it was headed. :) I was happy to see that he was at least paying enough attention to know that the ball had been hit and which direction it was headed in order to chase after it.
He really likes batting (I imagine it's probably everyone's favorite at this age) and was ready when it was his turn. He got up there, hit the ball and then just kinda watched what happened...he forgot to run! The coach kept yelling, go Harper, run, but it took him a few seconds to process that and get moving. Technically he was out at first but since this is their first game and everything is very flexible, he got to stay out there and run the bases. He had no idea he was out when he finally reached first and seemed pretty happy with his performance. :)
He did better the second time and remembered to run so already he's improving! Here's a little video of the cuteness in action:

Need I say more? Have you run for the hills yet?
And afterwards.......
The cake went down a treat, complete with butter-icing 'ketchup' and royal icing 'cheese'
Like father, like son!
That is the hugest burger I have ever seen! Your husband is quite manly handling that!
I've seen that programme- I think your hubby did himself proud!!
Love the cake-brilliant too!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
I am so not showing any of my boys that !! They'd be on that challenge quicker than anything, they watch the show, all of them...I swear it must be a man thing ! Bithday wishes to your hubby and what a fab looking cake!ReplyDelete
Oh my word. That show does hold a sort of horrid fascination - though I've only seen it a few times.
Mr. Faith looks as though he's got a good sense of humour. And a good thing too! Happy birthday to him. (Fantastic cake, Faith!) :)
P.S. Each of your sons has his own special appeal. Youngest has such a puckish look - full of beans and cheerful mischief, I'll bet!
It actually didn't look too bad until I saw the SIZE of it! Holy Canoli! But he is a farmer right so he'll work it off...hopefully! LOL!
Your little man was so cute and yes... he had the same look on his face as "Dad". Too funny!
Did you make the cake? Very nice! You are definitely multi-talented. Happy Halloween!
Euwww! That programme is awful... my daughter and her fiance love it and it always makes me feel ill! Mr.Faith (I bet he loves that name!)is obviously as funny as you...I can just imagine the boys laughing their heads off during that challenge! Beware though Faith.. ALL boys eat like that everyday when they reach about 13... Now the cake... yummy... my type of burger anyday :) Hugs, Jill xReplyDelete
Oh Gosh!!! I think that would have over awed anyone. I bet the boys were falling around laughing!! The cake looks scrummy....hats off to you for making it! Looks like youngest enjoyes it too! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr Faith! JoanReplyDelete
Oh wow!! Yes, a much-loved show in this house. I usually watch it with my mouth hanging open in disbelief. Your husband is a brave man - that's a HUGE plate of nosh!
I am also subjected to huge amounts of Man TV and there are lots of moans and groans when I want to watch girly TV - like The Paradise and Downtown Abbey...*sigh*..so I rarely bother.
Wow! That's one big burger.ReplyDelete
This so made me laugh! What is it about men and bacon? Anything it seems is improved by a few rashers of the crispy stuff piled on top! H is always on about monster-size burgers from some TV programme - clearly this is it! I am impressed your husband managed to make it as far as he did! Your birthday cake for him is so witty! You clever thing! And those final pics of junior tackling the cake are priceless! Enjoy the man food - at a distance! Meanwhile enjoy pink and girly things closer up!
E x
That is such an awesome show. We all watch it here salivating at those huge food challenges. How much chilli stuff can Adam put away!
Mr Faith looked like he enjoyed his challenge judging by his pose on the settee afterwards :)
How clever that burger cake!!! You are awesome to think of ketchup and cheese that way.
I loved the look of that burger! Did you seen on Pinterest a tip on making bacon for a sandwich? You interlace like four of them like a grid so bacon will be everywhere in the sandwich! I was like duh! Why didn't I think of that. Gotta try that one day.
Ha-ha! My kids sometimes watch the crazy challenges people do -- a friend actually lets her kids follow through on some of them, but I told my kids not to even think about it. There are some things you really shouldn't be doing to your body. When you overload on any kind of food, it is like overdosing ... a real strain on the body. I'm vegetarian so the thought of eating all that meat is rather yuck, but the hamburger cake is fun! And your little guy is a cutie. Happy belated to your hubby. Best wishes, TammyReplyDelete
My husband has your problem, there is too much pink and glitter in our house. He is very impressed with that burger and is asking me to make him one, I think so that he can assert his manliness.
I on the other hand would rather eat that cake.
My husband loves the look of what was created at your house! He is obsessed with an American show about pizzas!! And is determined to go to New York to try one!
I love that burger cake, so clever. I bet after all that meat your husband was a little worried about the contents of the cake.....
I am so not letting my lot see this!
Having briefly met your man I know he's certainly not built as though he has a stomach the size of a supermarket trolley ... where did he put it all!? Hollow legs!?
Brilliant cake Faith ... you should start a cake making business methinks!
Lol boys!! I have seen that show, quiet an odd show. We are out numbered over here too. 2 girls to 3 boys and the little girl isn't quiet old enough to back me yet lol. Luckily the boy show all my boys like is Deadly 60 which I quiet like. So Monday - Friday 6.30 we are all sitting in front of the tv watching a crazy man show us deadly animals lol. Not what I imagined when having kids. I can't wait for the barbie movies lolReplyDelete
I'd love to hear what you think, and I won't be asking you to jump through hoops (or fill in a captcha) to do it.............

February 12, 2018
Billionaire investor George Soros is defending his right to donate hundreds of thousands of pounds to a pro-European Union campaign aimed at stopping the U.K. leaving the political and economic bloc.
The tycoon had been heavily criticized after it was revealed that, through one of his foundations, he had donated a sizable amount of funds to the Best for Britain campaign, which advocates stopping Brexit and keeping the U.K. in the EU.
In response, Soros hit back at what he described as "toxic, personal criticism" and dismissed accusations that his actions were "undermining democracy."
Writing in the Mail on Sunday newspaper, he said: "I consider Brexit a tragic mistake. … Brexit is a lose-lose proposition both for Britain and for Europe. Politically, Europe without Britain will be weakened in its ability to defend and promote democratic values."
"To make matters worse, the divorce process will preoccupy both Britain and Europe for years ahead, when they should be uniting to resist external enemies like Putin's Russia and resolve the internal contradictions that made some people regard the EU as their enemy," he added.

Scott enjoying new role as Elephant linebacker
The Raiders have an elephant in the living room, and though not pink, he won't be easily ignored.
His name is Trevor Scott, and he is now playing the hybrid Elephant position made famous by George Seifert's 49ers in the late 1980s through the '90s. He'll start at weakside linebacker Sunday at Pittsburgh, but can play all over the front seven.
As a defensive lineman, Scott takes a two-point stance anywhere on the line of scrimmage to rush the quarterback. As a linebacker, he squats in the two-point stance and drops into coverage.
"He'll just get better and better, I think," Raiders coach Tom Cable said. "You want to move forward with that and let it keep developing."
Scott made his first start at weakside linebacker against Dallas, getting two sacks and two breakups in pass coverage. Before that, he was primarily used as a third-down pass rusher from the right edge.
The position change came from Raiders defensive coordinator John Marshall, who was on the 49ers' staff when Charles Haley was first used in that role.
Scott doesn't care when the position was invented. Having lost his starting end job to Richard Seymour the week of the season opener, he just wants some playing time back.
"I've been bouncing all over the place," Scott said. "Wherever they want me to play, I'll play."
To make the move stick, Scott must improve in pass coverage. Against the Cowboys, he was responsible for a 44-yard catch-and-run by tight end Jason Witten.
He also ran into safety Tyvon Branch to kill an easy interception. Still, he matched a career-high with two sacks. Cable sounds ready to give Scott the time necessary to grow into the dual role.
"I'm just going to continue to get better with my reads and things of that nature," Scott said. "I think it's a lot of fun, though."
Lineup swap: Thomas Howard will make his first career start at strongside linebacker, the fourth strongside starter since October.
He started every game at weakside linebacker since the Raiders drafted him in 2006.
Chilly forecast: Sunday's forecast calls for a high of 38 degrees in Pittsburgh, the first of three games in four cold-weather cities for Oakland.
The Raiders have lost three straight games in temperatures 40 degrees or under. Their last sub-40 win came in an 18-degree snow game at Denver on Nov. 28, 2004.
"Weather is an easy way to make an excuse," tight end Zach Miller said. "I feel like there's no reason we shouldn't be able to play on the East Coast in cold weather."

In an attempt to make it easier for me to complete my blog each week, I am going to just post pictures of the work we are doing in the classroom, and not of the kids actually doing the work (at least for the time being). It takes me a long time to go through and block out all of the kids faces -- which adds a significant amount of time to the whole blogging process.
So, here we go! This month our general theme is "Fall." We are learning about the signs of Fall, apples, pumpkins, spiders, and Halloween.
Here is the work I've added to the shelves this month so far:
|I added the knobbed cylinder blocks #'s 2 and 3 and the corresponding yellow and green knobbless cylinders.
|This is a leaf shadow match that I found at Homeschool Creations.
|This is a visual discrimination work -- the child must find and circle the picture in each row that is different from all the others. I also found this at Homeschool Creations. I laminated the paper and provided and dry erase marker and eraser so that many children can do this work over and over again. The kids have really enjoyed this work!
|This is Fall leaf pin pushing.
|This is a Fall tree tear or cut work. The kids color the tree trunk, cut or tear (depending on ability) the Fall colored paper strips and glue them to the tree. The tree pattern is from Making Learning Fun, but I do not remember which theme it is found under.
|These are the ever popular sticky-back foam leaves and leaf stencils, which I added to the art area.
|Here is the art shelf.
|I just added playdough to the classroom today! There are large leaf, apple, and acorn cookie cutters and small leaf and acorn cookie cutters along with rolling pins. This work is set up for two kids to use at the same time. The playdough I made with a recipe from My Montessori Journey. I added apple pie spice to it and it smells amazing! This table was never empty throughout the entire class period!
|This is an adaptation of a one-t-one correspondence work. The child places one leaf in each section of the tray.
|This is the "Squirrel Acorn Counting Book" from the Free Printables section of Child Care Land. I added some plastic acorns that I bought at Micheal's and a small stuffed squirrel. The kids count the plastic acorns along with each page in the book. This has been a very popular work as well!
|This is a Scarecrow numerical order puzzle from Homeschool Creations. The kids put the numbers in order to create the final finished puzzle seen in the picture below.
|Completed Scarecrow numerical order puzzle.
|This is a Fall patterning work also from Homeschool Creations. The kids complete the pattern using the small cards in the metal dish.
|This is a book called "Falling Leaves" from Making Learning Fun. It is a Fall leaf color book. I have the example book for the kids to refer to as they color their own book. I also have the color words in each book underlined in the color that they represent.
|This is an "Apples" book from Making Learning Fun. It is about the different colors apples come in. This work is set up similarly to the "Falling Leaves" book.
|This is a Parts of an Apple work. There are parts of an apple 3-part cards from abc teach and below those is a 3-part tray that had a whole apple in the first section, half an apple cut lengthwise in the second section, and half an apple cut width wise in the third section. I will be adding fresh apples every day. There is also a small magnifying glass so that the kids can take a closer look at the parts of an apple.
|This is an idea I found several months ago on the My Montessori Journey blog. There are fake fabric leaves with small slits cut into the middle of each. The ribbon has a button sewn to each end. The child takes the button on the end of the ribbon and strings it through each leaf. This is a great variation of a buttoning dressing frame!
|This is an idea I found on the Quiet Book blog. The tree is made from the pattern included on the blog and with green and brown felt. I sewed snaps onto the tree and the opposite side of the snap onto each of the six apples. The kids can then button the apples onto the tree. This is a great alternative to the snapping dressing frame!
|This is a Fall spooning work. The child uses the spoon to pick up one plastic acorn at a time and more it to the orange leaf bowl. I found the leaf bowls in the Target dollar section and the acorns at Micheal's.
|This is a dry pouring work using the cherries from the game "Hi Ho Cherry O." I cut the stems down on each cherry to make it look like an apple! The small pitchers are from Meijer.
Well, there you have it folks! We have definitely been busy at preschool the last couple weeks! I will be adding more work to the shelves every day, so I'll post again next week with the new additions!
I am linking up with Montessori Monday through Living Montessori Now and One Hook Wonder.

Mixed Media Art
About the Artist
To me, art is about creativity. It can be on any surface and with any material. It can be planned carefully, and made well so that it will be an heirloom for many years to come. Or it can be done as an impromptu in a couple of minutes and disappear, in reality, in a few hours. One of my favourite bits of art is the portrait of me done in biro on my hand by a young family member. (Please see my profile photo.) I love colour, light and shape. The only thing that I really dislike is a blank canvas.
Art Media and Background
I was wanting to get back into art for many years, but, as is often the case, life got in the way. About ten years ago, I found a painting that I loved. I bought it and then found out that the artist, Sandra Biggin, through Royal Queensland Artists Society, taught painting classes using oils. I took her classes and learnt a great deal. I also did workshops with other art teachers eg Lyn Diefenbach.
When I came to Brisbane I did the Brisbane Institute of Art's Marine Art Course with Jane James and followed up the course with continued lessons. This brought me to the use of acrylics and also water colour pencils. These two mediums tend to be my choice now. I also learnt a lot more by doing Painting IV with Jill Barker at Brisbane Institute of Art.
Art for Sale
My paintings have been entered and sold in many exhibitions over the last ten years and I have successfully completed commissions.
Some of my art is shown below. I don't really think I have favourite subjects, but I do like still life, the shapes of birds and I like to put people into landscapes. Sometimes I like to "switch off" my logical planning brain and allow myself to paint abstracts or semiabstracts intuitively. Interesting techniques and effects often emerge.
Below is a selection of my art which is for sale all of which are wired and ready to hang.
I am also happy to accept commissions.

Silver Series
Recovery and Weather Series
The paintings above were created after I was seriously injured in an accident in late 2016. I am profoundly grateful to the staff of Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, my family and my friends for their care and continued management of my injuries.
Also, in the first part of 2017, Queensland experienced a whole range of extraordinary weather events, affecting the land and our human lives. No matter if we live in the city or in the bush, weather can affect our lives profoundly.
I feel also that painting is a form of meditation that helps me to be mentally healthy. I can put my feelings onto canvas, and be as angry, sad, or as delighted as I wish. The very bright backgrounds to all of these paintings express a distinction from the past.
"Drought and Solitude"
"Drought and Solitude" reflects some of the isolation that misfortune can bring. Although I did not feel the loneliness that some people experience, this painting does express the knowledge that, the only person who really knows how it feels, is me. In this painting, the deep green of the good times is gradually being replaced by the hot and dry colours of a changed reality.
"Outback Flood"
"Outback Flood" reflects the feeling of being swamped, and no longer having control over my life. This, of course is temporary and all the care and intervention is going to lead me to a better outcome in the future. In this painting the turquoise background does not quite take away the features of the land or human identity.
"Remains of the Bushfire"
"Remains of the Bushfire" reflects a gradual calming and dilution of the red hot anger that I have felt at times. Out of those ashes will come renewal and a revitalised sense of self. In this painting the bright magenta (pink) is not quite the red hot fire of anger, and the sudden nature of what has happened is beginning to blow away.
"Sunshine on Turmeric"
"Sunshine on Turmeric" reflects the delight of being alive, and gratitude for the warm and compassionate place in which I find myself. The bright yellow background of this painting is the growth and renewal expressed as a bright and sunny day featuring my favourite plant. Turmeric loves to grow in the sunshine and not only gives us the healthy yellow spice but also its complex and beautiful flower.

Sky Diving
I have stupidly agreed to do this, soon. I said ages ago that I was up for it thinking that it would never happen. Now the guy organising it has the forms and will be booking the dive before the end of the year.
Anyone done it? It'll be great, right?
ha ha ha ha ha
whoops I'm mean!
of course it will be fine!
It will be great.
I think the adrenalin rush will be amazing. It's just a bit scary isn't it?
I know that I'll love it
it's just the actual leaving the plane bit. Kinda essential.
my friend
had this exact same thing happen to her! It was for charity, and she was told if she didnt do it she would have to pay £100 to the charity. She was terrified, but she did it and said it was amazing!
I really hope so
I have to raise £400.
better start saving :)
or baking, cake stalls are very profitable apparently
I'd love to do a skydive, my sister has and really enjoyed it
maybe once I've popped this bump out...
when are you due?
Maybe it will help induce labour?
end of Jan
and maybe..that'd be interesting..a midair arrival, don't pull the wrong cord and all that...
I want to be friends with your friend
I'd like to do it, but i just need someone to organise it for me
meh it's alright
it is an incredible rush. I've done tandem and static line. Both good. tandem we fell for aaaaages!!!! it's quite unnerving seeing a feild rush towards your face.
I'm actually going tomorrow for the first time
I'd always thought it looked incredible but as this week has gone on I'm getting more and more nervous.
I don't post here much but if I never post again after saturday you know what happened.
please let me know how it goes (if you make it x).
i was thinking of doing an AFF course in skydiving actually
good luck anyways!
Don't die!!!!
makes me feel way better.
I could have done it
when I did RAF at school, I think I was too young though. Other people did it though and they were fine.

'Dramatis Personae' (persons of the drama) is a tragicomic series about actors in New York and the cast of characters that comes in and out of one's life.
These first few episodes are character portraits of people that the protagonist Lourdes encounters along the way. Inspired by elements of classic theater, this first season has underlying themes and parallels from 'The Lulu Plays' by Frank Wedekind, a play in which Lourdes has been cast. The scripted series follows a rehearsal process that culminates in a live production of the play they are rehearsing.
Dramatis Personae is part of the Official Selection of the Brooklyn Web Festival 2017 and was part of their programming on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at the Made in NY Media Center by IFP.
These are the first five episodes (out of +/- fifteen):
Lourdes and Nicole go to the laundromat, where Lourdes has a panic attack while grappling with an almost mandatory, mumblecore, Lena Dunham-ish existential crisis. When the girls are then catcalled while walking home, Nicole discovers Lourdes has a bark in her.
Marissa encounters what might be an older version of herself while on her way to an audition. Unable to catch a break, she goes to a band rehearsal where she sucks at drumming. She tries to get her crush's attention.
Lourdes auditions for an Off-Off-Off Broadway production of Frank Wedekind's 'The Lulu Plays' with a slightly off director. A promising business venture appears in her path.
Ruby attempts to mediate an argument between Lourdes and a stranger. Lourdes discovers that there's more than what meets the eye.
Ruby becomes jealous of Lourdes' new role. Reuben runs into an old flame. Lourdes turns to curbside solutions for spiritual alignment.

what I'm doing with a box of bird grit???
Well, you know I love blogging ..... and I follow many blogs especially from America. And our American cousins love to have sew alongs and one of them is the skinny pincushion!
And here is my version ...
One day I'll have the confidence to join in one of these sew alongs for real! The bird grit by the way is the filling - it's supposed to sharpen the pins???

The other day I talked with an 11 year-old who wishes he were better at spelling. He told me (as many do) that when he writes a word he can tell if it's not the right spelling but he often can't figure out how to fix what's not right. We talked about how this is a funny thing about the brain – if you know something when you see it, and you know not something when you see that, how could you be unable to generate the something itself? The answer, of course, is some version of this fact: receptive language (what you hear and process) and productive language (what you say) are not one process. We don't have the same access to brain files when it comes to receiving and producing.
Later the same day I was reading more of Dan Roam and trying a drawing exercise in which I had to represent, in simple sketches, a few different popular cities. For Paris, of course, I attempted to draw the Eiffel Tower. I realized I was having the same trouble with the drawing as my young friend has with spelling. I know the Eiffel Tower when I see it, and I can draw all the shapes it would require to represent it adequately for someone else to be able to recognize it, but I couldn't quite manage to pull together well enough the knowledge that makes it recognizable to me and my ability to assemble shapes into drawings to get it right enough.
Dan Roam has me convinced that it's not too late for me to learn to do it, and my young spelling friend and I have been talking about how to use his extensive lexicon of recognized words when he's trying to spell one. It, like the drawing, seems to benefit from involving the eye. The teaching of spelling has traditionally relied heavily upon the ear – "sounding out" – but for many young people who have become competent readers (and thus have an extensive collection of recognized words in their brains), the eye and the visual memory offer a steadier more reliable sensory assist.

When the Sea Is Rising Red by Cat Hellisen
3 comments:
This book was immediately on my wishlist when I saw it and after reading your review I just want to run to the store to buy it :D (not that it's possible, since we don't have stores selling English books.. I live in The Netherlands)ReplyDelete
@Mel - Thedailyprophecy. I actually live in the Netherlands too! But I live in Noord Holland and it's easy enough for me to get to Amsterdam or Den Haag. If you lived close enough, I'd lend you my copy! It's certainly worth a read if you like YA fantasy.ReplyDelete

Oooo!!! I think it's really cute that your boyfriend bought you this book! I wish any guy I I knew, no matter the type of relationship, gave me books for gifts! lol. I was (and still am) hesitant about reading this book. First off, the cover is amazing and mysterious, which screams "PICK ME!", but the synopsis didn't hook me in to the story. I'm also not a huge fan of first person, even though most YA books nowadays are in first person. Why not have two sets of perspectives, in first person, like Beth Revis does with the Across the Universe trilogy? (I love that series!) But going off of your review, I think I might give it a try. Especially since you have so many details about this book in this review! It's so thorough. I might go borrow it from my public library. Thanks for the review!!!ReplyDelete

Hi - thank you for commenting. I love comments. What's more, I'm a big believer in comment karma! :) If you leave a comment, I will do my best to get back to you and leave a comment on your blog in turn (please keep in mind that this may take a few days!).
