Perfect Budget Perfume Gifts for Holiday 2009
The holiday season can be a confusing time. Between busy work days and preparing for the holiday celebrations, everyone has to find the right gifts for their loved ones. And that's a minefield of its own. But gift-giving doesn't have to throw a confounding kink into your holidays. Gift-giving can actually be really simple. Here some the basics. Women love perfumes; fact. Perfumes are great gifts; another fact. Put two and two together and you get: women love perfumes as gifts! See how simple that was? Now at this rate, we might have the entire holiday mapped out before its time to make dinner.
But to continue on the topic of giving perfumes as gifts. It gets even easier. Perfumes are prized luxury items. Because of its status as an elegant beauty item, many women love getting them on those rare special occasions. With just a glance at the top three best-selling perfumes, you'll have an gift-idea for the special woman in your life, whatever her age.
And now you're furrowing your brow over your holiday budget. It's true many can't stretch their savings to buy a special luxury item for each member in their gift-giving circle. But lucky for you, designer perfumes are often sold at discount prices. For some heart-warming discounts, check out the top discount perfume retailer Scentiments.com.
Ed Hardy Women
Ed Hardy Women is the perfect perfume for the young woman in your life. The pink design is as funky as her haircut, while the tattoo designs are as cool as her jeans. While the packaging demonstrates a bit of street-wise edge, the perfume inside is far from gritty. The pink-inspired perfume oozes with strawberry and freesia notes. A zesty ruby grapefruit note—a favorite among youth—opens the perfume with energy. In the base, the soft sweetness of vanilla and cocoa-like tonka bean smolders.
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue
Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is a classic perfume for women aged 18-35. The ever-present aquatic aroma that first gained popularity in the 1990s is made legendary by Light Blue. Light Blue creates a symphony of the traditional citrus aquatic notes. Fresh and crisp, but not bitter and dry. Sweet and soft, but never cloying. This perfume is a fresh rendition Mediterranean accords, and the result is pure perfection. Dolce and Gabbana opens with notes of sweet citrus and tart apple. The heart of Light Blue is filled with a swan song of white, clean florals. Like a bright, billowing line of laundry, this perfume is fresh and uplifting.
Sung by Alfred Sung
Sung by Alfred Sung is an elegant perfume for women. If you're looking for a perfume for a refined woman with polished tastes this perfume will satisfy. Alfred Sung is a wedding gown designer who excels at creating power, elegance, and grace with simple, flowing white lines. Like his fashion designs, Alfred Sung's perfumes soar with distinguished flare. Created in the 1980s, Sung by Alfred is a classic white floral perfume. From the very start, this perfumes makes its presence known. And throughout the day, the sweetness of white florals flickers and glows.
It's almost certain that any one of these perfumes can make a great gift for your special woman. Luckily, these perfumes won't break the bank. These perfumes and many more are offered for competitive low prices by discount perfume retailers. Be sure to snag a budget buy for the holidays!

It's every man's dream property complete with all the mod cons including a kitchen, a bathroom and… beer on tap.
That's what one guy in New Zealand came home to find after his friends decided to prank him and plumb his entire house with beer.
A seven-minute long YouTube video shows a group of lads sneakily plumbing their mate Russ's house while he was out.
LittleJohnynNZ, who posted the video, said: 'Me and the boys played a bit of a joke on our mate Russ. Kegs of beer have been plumbed into every tap in the house, with loads of cameras to catch the action.'

|Oma in her element!
We had Mum/Oma visit for about three weeks which was great. We all enjoyed it. Thankfully Mama's health was pretty good (for her) during those three weeks, the heat helped :). We did plenty of shopping, seeing some of the sights and the highlight of the visit, visiting the Amish. More photo's to come on the blog of her time with us. She made it back safely, thanks to prayers and an airplane or three. Papa/Opa and Axel (her dog, who sorely missed her!) were glad to have her back home!
We're back into the swing of things now. I'm slowly but surely adding more of their curriculum in as the weeks progress. I can't do it all and so spelling (ohhh) had to wait. Michaela also is learning how to type and I hope that she can start that next week. I have also switched the routine around the with little girls and that seems to be working so far. The big girls's workload has increased this year (which is good) and so more discipline is required from them. Albert is also doing Language Arts (think English especially writing) with the girls which is a huge help to me as it is not one of my strong points. Zara is doing well and I'm hoping to get her reading soon so that she can do some work independently.
I know Albert updates you all, but here is my take on seminary so far :). This semester has been a breeze for us as a family so far. I think we have worked on both our weaknesses (and continue to work on) and as a result life is running a lot smoother. Albert is taking set time to spend with the girls, including teaching PE and doing devotions at our local homeschool group. The workload doesn't seem to be as big this semester which is a huge blessing. Spare a thought though for the new students including our very own New Zealand student Josh (you can read about them here). The first semester is tough!
Seminary Wives
I'm involved in the Seminary Wives this year as secretary (with Audra another student wife) which is a great opportunity to 'serve' the new students in particular and getting to know them all. I really enjoy this aspect of seminary as we are all in the same 'boat' and it's great to mutually encourage each other in the good and bad times. (and ofcourse to eat plenty of good food while we encourage each other!!)
We're back in the swing of things here too and I'm back in my beloved pool! I'm so privileged to be able to swim in this private pool. Albert is also doing some running as well as biking. Some of the Seminary wives are also getting together once a week to do some running/walking with our families.
|I got all of this for free with either coupons,
store credit or rebates
(We enjoyed fish that night which is a luxury in this house)
Managing to get some great deals here too, a lot of them free. A couple of weeks ago, I managed to buy 8 tissue boxes but once I got to the check-out, I couldn't use my coupon as it was negative, so I added another 4 boxes and a chocolate bar (such a shame) to make the amount that I had to pay positive! So I'll be fine for tissue boxes (that were basically free plus tax) for a while :). I took my Mum while she was here to my favorite Pharmacy and she couldn't believe her eyes about all the deals! A positive side of this, apart from the fact that we get to have things we would never buy, is that I'm able to share my 'spoils' with other students and people in need. At the girls Gem's club, they were asking for donations for nappies for a local pregnancy center and so I managed to find a great deal on nappies, 3 packets of Huggies for $4 out of pocket.
(Contents of the photo: a gallon of milk, one Colgate 360c toothbrush, 4 Lind chocolate bars, 2 wholegrain pasta, 2 loaves of wholegrain bread, 2 individual portions of fish and 4 boxes of ibuprofen. I did buy these things at different stores and did pay a little tax, not much though)
The girls and I went to pick some fruit last week at an orchard. It was quite an experience especially since we lived in Hawke's Bay for about 6 years. We were 'driven' by a tractor and wagon to the area where the picking took place. Since it was a Saturday, the place was packed and there were lines for the tractor. All of this is fine until you have to carry back your 'pickings' back to the tractor. Since the apples were like 'gold' (ie pricewise) I didn't let the girls pick any or carry the bags. (I know mean Mum!) I thought the apples were expensive but was told by quite a few locals that $0.99c a pound was a 'steal'. I suppose any price is expensive when we are used to 'glean' them from a friends orchard in Hawkes Bay. In my true 'bargain' style I managed to pick up some 'seconds' fruit mainly pears and peaches. I bottled the pears (I know you are all proud of me!!) and froze the peaches.
That's all from me for now, anything you would like to know about us, USA, Seminary, life in general? Leave me a comment :).

Hi guys!! Whew!!! What a busy whirlwind we have been in lately!! I
apologize for not updating everyone in a couple of weeks. We have
been tremendously busy! We have over the past weeks met with new
churches, already supporting churches, possible future ministry
partners, spoke with around 300 AWANA children, I (Courtenay) attended
a women's retreat with Kay Arthur and the women of Mt. Moriah, and
Jacob has even played in a couple of church softball games! In the
middle of all of that, we have been doing home school and trying to
visit with friends and family! We are currently in North Carolina at
a Church Planting seminar that will last until Thursday.
I tell you all of that to let you know that we really have appreciated
all of your prayers and we ask that you continue to pray for us…..
1. We need energy.
2. Quality rest when we can get it.
3. Remembrance on my part to take my medicine – last week I forgot my
weekly dose of Methotrexate and I got in a lot of pain.
4. We are attending a church planting seminar until Thursday
afternoon. My parents are keeping the children and doing their home
school with them.
5. We will be traveling on Friday to pick up the children and then
from there, we will drive to Mississippi.
6. We are speaking Easter Sunday in Iuka, MS, then we will speak in
Alabama, then we will head back to SC probably on the following
7. That we would share God's love and grace with all of those that
the Lord places in our paths.
8. As we share about the Lord's work in Costa Rica and in our family
that others would be drawn to and/or closer to our Heavenly Father.
We love each of you and cherish your prayers,
Jacob and Court
Romans 15:4-6
4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,
so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the
encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same
attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that
with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ.

North Korea and Japan will hold talks next month but the issue of Japanese citizens kidnapped by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s will not be discussed, a high-ranking North Korean official has told Kyodo News Agency
In its Pyongyang datelined report, Kyodo quoted Jong Thae-hwa as saying that the kidnapping issue has been fully settled and the communist state no longer intends to provide any proof or respond to investigation requests.
Foreign Ministry officials were not available for comment Friday, a national holiday in Japan.
Earlier this week, Japan's foreign minister said the two countries will resume bilateral talks soon on Pyongyang's nuclear weapons, missile programs and the kidnapping issue, to restart negotiations stalled for nearly a year.
The last substantial talks between the two sides took place in November last year. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi held a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in May last year in Pyongyang.
The North has admitted to abducting 13 Japanese to train its spies in Japanese language and culture. Pyongyang allowed five to return to Japan in 2002, saying the remaining eight had died.
Tokyo, however, has demanded proof of the deaths, as well as a thorough investigation into claims that other Japanese were also abducted. North Korea has indicated it considers the issue a closed case.
Family members of those abducted urged Japan to be tough in pushing for answers and called for economic sanctions against the communist country if it didn't sufficiently cooperate.
Jong, a former negotiator in talks with Japan, said the outstanding issue between the two countries was not kidnapping, but Japan's failure to fully atone for past atrocities, including forced labor and sex slaves during its harsh colonization of the Korean Peninsula, according to Kyodo. Japan colonized the Koreas from 1910 until the end of World War II.
Jong repeated Pyongyang's demand that Tokyo return what the North says are the remains of Megumi Yokota, the highest profile kidnap victim, according to Kyodo.
North Korea sent the remains to Japan in November last year after admitting to kidnapping her decades ago, but Japan said DNA tests proved it was not Yokota. Pyongyang then accused Tokyo of fabricating the results to disgrace the North and has demanded the return of the remains.
Japan and North Korea committed to press toward establishing diplomatic relations in a joint declaration during an earlier Koizumi-Kim summit in Pyongyang in 2002. Sporadic talks toward normalization have stalled, however, over the abductions issue. The two countries have never had diplomatic relations.

Last weekend, we headed to Birmingham with a couple of friends & their daughter to check out the Julia Donaldson Squash & a Squeeze exhibition at the Birmingham Museum. We set off on the train from our local station.
Little T could barely contain his excitement at his first train journey & stood looking out of the window for the whole journey! Just the train would've been adventure enough, I think!
Once we'd arrived in Birmingham, we headed for the Museum (after a swift coffee to perk up the parents!) & – to the children's delight – found Gruffalo stickers up the stairs to direct us where to go. The exhibition itself was excellent; it wasn't just the Gruffalo & each of Julia's books had a section, with activities at each 'station'.
We started with 'A Squash & A Squeeze' which our friends hadn't read, so we watched it on the screen & then the children played in the house, complete with the cow on the table doing a jig! It surprised me to find out that the musical version of this had been featured on 'Watch with Mother' on the BBC in 1976, for which Julia was paid £19!
Next up was 'What the Ladybird Heard' & 'The Smartest Giant in Town' where the children dressed up as ladybirds & played with the farm set up. Round the corner were 'The Troll' & 'Tyrannosaurus Drip', which I have to admit we aren't familiar with, so didn't spend so long here.
After this was a corner dedicated to 'Tiddler', 'The Snail & the Whale' & – Mr Teapot's favourite – 'Monkey Puzzle' (he was disappointed to see it only had a small corner!). There was a large wooden whale that the little ones climbed & slid all over & a large wall with lots of lift up flaps to follow the flow of the tales in Tiddler's journey. There was also a play table where children could colour in pictures, next to the 'Stickman' exhibit, but the attention of our small guests was captured by the next section 'The Gruffalo' & 'The Gruffalo's Child'.
It's fair to say that these two were the jewels in the crown of the exhibition, with more space allocated than any of the others. There was a lovely section with a projector, where we made a shadow display with silhouettes of the main characters from the story. Little T & his friend both got into the fancy dress swing of things & dressed as the Gruffalo's Child (admittedly, Little T needed a little gentle persuasion!). Then we sat in the corner designed to be the deep dark forest & read both of the books. Along the opposite wall were all of the different animals that the mouse met in the forest in the first book.
The next few books 'Toddle Waddle', 'One Ted Fell Out Of Bed' & 'Cave Baby' weren't ones we knew well, but we sat & read each one & got to know them a bit better. In the next room was a dress up area for distracting the little ones, while the parents read a timeline of Julia's life & some of her correspondence with Axel Scheffler (who has very sweetly done the most incredible illustrations on all of the envelopes he has ever sent to Julia!). It was fascinating to read some of the original drafts for the books, compared to the final versions we know & love!
The final section of the exhibiton contained 'Tabby McTat', 'Super Worm', 'The Magic Paintbrush' & the 'Princess Mirror Belle' series. Unfortunately, Little T & his friend had almost been oversaturated by this point & were starting to flag a little, but we sat & read 'Charlie Cook's Favourite Book' for a little quiet time & then in the 'Super Worm' section there was a huge worm drawn on the floor with twists & turns for them to run along, which soon perked them up. We didn't get chance to read 'The Magic Paintbrush' which Julia says is her absolute favourite, so it's definitely been added to my Christmas wishlist to read to Little T!
We thought that the museum had missed a trick not ending the exhibition in the gift shop, as I was mentally making a list of all the books missing from our collection, but with hindsight it was a pleasant surprise not to be pushed into buying things with 2 toddlers!
We had a wonderful morning of exploring, playing & learning about the books we love. The exhibition still has a few more stops on it's tour & I would highly recommend it as a day out to anyone who loves Julia's books, or to anyone who has yet to discover their magic.
In the afternoon, we had more adventures, but that's a story for another day….

Christopher Priest Loves the Clarke Award
I had to put in my two cents on this as I just found out about it today from Neth Space. Christopher Priest is an amazing author and known to be a bit outspoken, notably with respect to his low opinion of Christopher Nolan and the ending to The Prestige, the movie adaptation of Priest's book.
Yesterday, Priest wrote a scathing article not only bashing the panel of judges for the Clarke Award, but also each and every author in some way. Yes, even China Mieville although he was more regretful than anything. Commentaries popped up everywhere including The Guardian (which as a much much better summation than mine), John Scalzi at Whatever, and even Charles Stross (who's now making t-shirts).
Maybe it's because I saw Ken's article first, but I thought the article was hilarious. Scalzi makes a good point that what this really is is someone who's not happy that everyone else doesn't follow their own opinion...and this comes up every time another award comes around.
But, while I agree with Scalzi on that part, I'd much rather hear/read someone's honest opinion than have them pussy-foot around like Scalzi happens to do in his article. Part of this is because I'm a terrible pussy-footer and I only dream of being as direct and honest as Priest. Maybe if I were also a world-renowned author...
In the end, just read the article, it's worth your time even if you don't agree with him.

Yeah, I simply found the article hilarious but quite thoughtful at the same time. I can see why and where people would disagree, but I'm still dismayed to see such large dismissal of Priest's rant.
- March 29, 2012 at 3:31 PM
- Bryce L. said...
I couldn't help but agree with him on plenty of his points - I mean who are we kidding? I've read some Greg Bear and came to a similar conclusion - not award-worthy. And the part about Tepper is worth reading alone.
His points on Mieville, whether true or not, are worth considering for an author who's won as many awards as Mieville has - don't get complacent, keep pushing the genre. I hope he listens either way.

- Bob (Beauty in Ruins) said...
I thought Priest's rant was embarrassing, and completely without class. Just atrocious.
- March 29, 2012 at 3:46 PM
- Bryce L. said...
I have to admit to having feelings of, is he really saying this about his peers? But this is about an award for the best in the genre. For me, he's saying these are fine authors, but not the best and not award-worthy. He's just calling it how he sees it.

When my now husband asked which hotel I'd most like to stay in after our wedding, I must have reeled off a hundred fancy hotels on my wish list. During the whole planning process, I proved awful at making decisions, so I called on Hotel Belle, Annie Fitzsimmons, to help me pick a hotel fit for a bride and groom. She recommended her favourite London spots and one stood out the most – Blakes Hotel London in South Kensington.
The room at Blakes Hotel London
We told them it was our wedding night and they gave us the room we'd liked the most on the website – room 110. So when we arrived, giddy and dressed up to the nines in our wedding outfits with me clutching a confetti balloon, we spent a full half hour just wandering around the room going "Wow..", "Have you seen this?", "Oh the bath!", "Come look at this!".
Room 110 is so sumptuous, filled with antique paintings and dark wood furniture that I'm convinced have seen some historical moments during their lifetime – especially the creaky wardrobe. We spent most of our time giggling at how high the bed seemed to be too! If you can't take a running jump to get into bed, your hotel isn't doing it right.
A special room service breakfast
If there's one thing we always say we'll do and then never actually go through with it, it's ordering room service breakfast. Still a bit tipsy from prosecco and wedding excitement, we got a serious case of The F*ck Its and decided to fill out one of those breakfast forms you leave on the door handle. I figured if we were staying in one of the most luxurious hotels in London, we should make the most of it! I ordered eggs florentine and an orange juice, and him eggs benedict and an apple juice.
And it was so delicious. We sat at the little table in our robes, chatting about the day before and still buzzing from the amazing wedding day we'd just had.
My top tips for Blakes Hotel London
- Tell them when you book if you're celebrating something special and they'll arrange some treats, like extra flowers and a champagne reception
- Take plenty of photos while you're there. There's so much detail in the rooms, you'll forget what it looked like!
- Treat yourself to breakfast. Especially when you can enjoy it dressed in your pjs, watching the in-room Sky TV or with the blinds open and looking out over the courtyard.
You can book yourself a room on the Blakes Hotel London website. Have you stayed at Blakes before? Let me know in the comments!please note: some header images are from unsplash.com

To fete the release of her seventh album, Unapologetic, Rihanna will be flying via Delta 777 jet to play seven concerts in seven cities in seven different countries in seven days — and Us Weekly's invited! For the next week, Us Weekly's Senior Editor Ian Drew will be flying with the 24-year-old superstar — plus nearly 250 members of her team, worldwide press and fans — on her landmark 777 Tour.
For all of the inside details aboard the 777, read Ian's dispatch from day three, Fri. Nov. 15, where the "Diamonds" singer traveled from Toronto to Stockholm. check back at Us Weekly daily for exclusive tidbits, photos and more!
After we arrived in Stockholm Friday, Rihanna was whisked to the Grand Hotel, the nicest hotel in the city. Once she checked in and got settled, she ordered room service and got ready in the room, hanging out with her friend Melissa. She slept, got a massage from Lama, her masseuse, and went through the usual two hours of hair and makeup — she only had 10 minutes to get dressed! — at the hotel before her concert.
Taking the Berns Salonger nightclub's stage at 11:40 p.m., Rihanna emerged in an oversized Adam Kimmel for Carhartt denim jacket, a white Wilford body suit (no bra) and denim American Apparel shorts. She accessorized her look with black Tom Ford heels, a vintage black leather and gold encrusted Chanel belt, a Chanel nameplate chain and round white-rimmed Chanel sunglasses. If Thursday night's look channeled Aaliyah, this was her SWV look. She has 15 duffel bags of clothes with her on the trip.
"It's hot in here. I want to thank you for being so patient and witty," Rihanna told fans as she performed tracks including her new ballad "Stay" off Unapologetic. "I love your energy right now!" After the show, Rihanna's manager Jay Brown told us she decided to throw an impromptu party in the basement club of the venue. She invited Us, of course, and the flight crew from the jet, who were at the show.
She didn't make it to the party until about 3:30 a.m., but when she got inside, she started pouring everybody drinks from the table and pouring drinks into peoples' mouths. "I'll drink to that!" she said. She was going wild dancing to house music with Melissa and her glam squad. Rihanna stayed until she shut the club down at 4:45 a.m., then went back to the hotel to get some sleep. We had to wake up at 8 a.m. to head to the airport to fly to Paris. We landed in Paris at 3:45 p.m. Saturday.
A source along for Rihanna's tour trip told me Rihanna — who noshed on peanut M&Ms and slept during the flight from Stockholm to Paris — is struggling to catch some zzz's whenever possible. "She has barely slept and has to perform every night so she tries to shower and sleep whenever she can," the insider told me. "I don't know how she does it. She just parties hard and works harder. It's a crazy life."

Hey, sorry this series is taking so long! I'm busy with Hillsong's analytics, school projects, and midterms just finished.
If you're new to my blog, please read Part One and Part Two to read about my other adventures around NYC with my girls!
So, it's Sunday and we accomplished a lot of things on Paige's and Rae's list. But we also struck out a lot, since we forgot that everything is closed on Sundays. Well, not everything, but a lot of places aren't open (for obvious reasons).
We woke up really early to meet up with some of Rae's and Paige's classmates. We were supposed to have breakfast at the famous The Bagel Store, home of the rainbow bagel. The classmates stood us up, but that didn't stop us from having awesome bagels! Rae got a pumpkin bagel. Paige got a yummy apple cinnamon bagel. I, the only one who got a colored bagel, got the Walking Dead bagel with nutella. It was okay, but I can see why this one girl complained about it tasting like chemicals.
(TMI, but if you get weird poop colors the day after, it's the dye from the bagels)
Then, we took the train to Chelsea Market. Located in the Meat Packing District (my fav spot to be), it's a mix of hipster, artisan restaurants, and grocery and retail stores. It's expensive, vegan (for the most part), organic, and healthy. We got coffee and browsed the tiny "flea market" they have in the back. Cute stuff, but kind of pricey. However, the Brooklyn Charms booth is my favorite.
Next, we walked the High Line, which is a block away from Chelsea Market. The High Line is an abandoned subway track turned into a cool park. It's a favorite place of mine, because it's refreshing to be around so much vegetation. You're around cement so much and you need to take a break and be next to nature. It's also a great way to cut through Chelsea and go more East of the island.
Then, we made our way up to the Plaza. Paige and Rae wanted to do the Home Alone pose in front of the Plaza. I took them inside the Plaza Food Court. It's a cute place to splurge lunch on. They have the best mushroom panini.
We got tired. And when you're tired on 5th Ave, there's only one place to recoop! Central Park, of course! Tip, if you're going to sleep in the Park in the beginning of fall, bring a blanket or extra layers.
Before going down to Times Square for Hillsong, we chilled at Starbucks. I love Starbucks for two reasons. One, free wifi. Two, charger stations.
After church, we were excited to take the train back home and order in. We are so thankful that the Air BnB has Netflix! It honestly better than booking a hotel and I was sad that that was my last night there!
Unfortunately, I couldn't follow Rae and Paige around the next day, because I had school. I'll fill you in, though. They rode the Staten Island Ferry and went to the African Burial Memorial. If you're here during summer and early fall, you MUST take the ferry. You get really great views and the ride if FREE!!!!

Building the eye-catching Wales Millennium Centre involved dealing with a legacy of the past.
The Wales Millennium Centre is the first national cultural institution to be built in Wales for over half a century. The main elevation is dominated by the Gwyneth Lewis inscription: Creu gwir fel gwydr O ffwrnais awen / In these stones horizons sing.
The building's 1,850-seat main auditorium establishes the centre as a world class venue home to the Welsh National Opera, Urdd Gobaith Cymru, Diversions Dance Company and Hijinx Theatre Company.
We provided an alternative, more efficient solution for the cladding on the auditorium walls. We used varying sizes and profiles of glass reinforced gypsum blocks that met the building's acoustic requirements while also resembling the semi-random pattern of the external slate and timber elevations.
Originally the building's orchestra pit was to be excavated within a contiguous or secant pile wall. We identified that groundwater flows were lower than anticipated and an open-cut excavation was undertaken. A new design in the form of a simple, cost-effective watertight reinforced concrete box eliminated the need for the proposed 70 piles.
Parts of the elevations are clad in slate blocks from Welsh quarries. The slate is the waste left over from the production of roofing slate. Laid in tapering layers to reflect its natural formation, it was fixed by craftsmen using traditional techniques.
Inside, the building the need for mechanical ventilation and air conditioning was designed out where practicable. In summer, ice is manufactured at night using cheap off-peak electricity and then melted during performances to provide cooling.
An on-site integrated design office enabled major subcontractor designers to work directly with the design team. The close working relationships which this approach fostered had a positive impact on the building programme and undoubtedly contributed to the successful completion of the project.
Following the successful completion of Wales Millennium Centre, we were awarded the adjacent Phase 2 development. Home to the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, BBC Hoddinott Hall provides a 350-seat auditorium alongside rehearsal and performance space, a recording studio and ancillary accommodation.

BMW is calling the new C evolution "innovative e-mobility on two wheels." It will initially be available only in Europe, but is expected to debut in the USA in the near future.
For years now, there have been drastic changes in the demand for individual mobility concepts, in particular in conurbations. Constantly expanding traffic volumes, rising energy costs and increasingly rigorous CO2 restrictions on inner-city traffic – these are the challenges that electrically powered vehicles consistently set out to tackle. Following the BMW Group's sustainability strategy and parallel to BMW i in the automobile sector, BMW Motorrad moved into the field of electric mobility at a very early stage in 2012, ultimately putting forward a convincing statement in the form of the C evolution e-scooter.
Increased e-performance and a European version that meets the requirements for the A1 driving license. Ranges of 100 and 60 miles, respectively. With the new C evolution, available in two variants in future – the Long Range version and the European version that meets the requirements for the A1 driving license – BMW Motorrad now raises the benchmark in the e‑scooter segment to a new level. Featuring a new generation of batteries with a cell capacity of 94 Amp-hours (Ah), as used in the current BMW i3, the range has been significantly extended. What is more, a new charge cable with a smaller diameter is now included as standard. New optional accessories such as the smartphone cradle also mean there are now many more ways to customize the BMW C evolution.
In the new C evolution Long Range the continuous output is 26 hp, 11 hp more than in the predecessor model, while the range has been significantly extended to approximately 100 miles. The top speed is electronically limited to 80 mph.
In the A1 driving license* version (Europe only), the new C evolution has an output of 15 hp. The range here is around 60 miles, with a top speed of 75 mph.
Dynamic paint finishes in Ionic Silver metallic / Electric Green. Last but not least, the new BMW C evolution now steps into the limelight with a refined visual appearance. Both versions of the new C evolution are available in the new paint finish Ionic Silver metallic / Electric Green, combined with the contrasting color Blackstorm metallic. A new graphic has also been added to the center tunnel trim in the Long Range version. Already available in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Ireland and China, the C evolution is now also due to be launched in the USA, Japan, South Korea and Russia.
An overview of the highlights:
* The European A1 license is for people 17 or older and restricted to a max 125cc scooter, moped or motorcycle. Seventeen and 18-year-olds in Europe may only hold an A1 license, and getting one requires holding a full drivers' license and completing mandatory motorbike training courses.

A few weekends ago, a few of the girls and I made a one night roadtrip to Cork especially for the Campo Viejo Tapas Trail. It was a great afternoon which turned into a great night! We ended up going back to Arthur Mayne's as we were told it had a lovely outdoor area and was open late. In fact it is open till about 2 in the morning and that was on a Sunday night.
Arthur Mayne's is a 20-year-old chemist turned wine bar. Apart from display cabinets filled with wonderful old merchandise, it also boasts a wine system which allows you to sample 24 different varieties of wines. We decided to keep that though for another trip! Arthur Mayne's merges with Crane Line and between them there is a great outdoor area which is long and narrow and has a good few seats. The sun was gone by the time we were there but it was still lovely and warm where we were sitting. Later on that evening they turned the heaters on and sure we didn't move till again till about 12.30 that night.

Even though we had done the tapas trail and were rightly stuffed afterwards by about nine we were getting a little peckish. Arthur Mayne's was a perfect venue to be in as they serve meat and cheese platters right on up to 1.30 in the morning. You never need to go hungry in Cork City! To tide us over till Monday morning (really more of a bid to soak up the drink!) we choose a good variety of items.
Sarah decided on a lovely 2 meat and cheese combo board which came heaped with meat and her choices of cheeses which included Ardrahan and Comte. It was great value for €10 and we couldn't get her to share!
Sandra got the ordinary bruschetta at €4.50 while Jenny went for the goats cheese crostini and sundried tomatoes for €5.95. I went for the bruschetta with Toonsbridge mozzarella, pesto and beef tomatoes. They were gorgeous and the mozzarella was out of this world. They were a bit on the pricey side at €9.95 but I assume that is to do with the cost of the artisan mozzarella. I would have liked one more on the board.
We also got two bowls of garlic potatoes because we loved them so much after the tapas trail! Gluttons the lot of us!
All the food here is fresh and fabulous and it's a perfect place for a chat and a few nibbles over drinks. If you stay there long enough you may even hear some live music! Arthur Mayne's is well worth a stop next time you are down in Cork.
7 Pembroke Street, Cork

This city's Jet d'eau, a fountain in the middle of its namesake lake, is as much a symbol of Geneva as Big Ben is of London, the Eiffel Tower is of Paris and the Colosseum is of Rome.
The single column of water shoots up 460 feet in the air and erupts with the force of 132 gallons of water every second, frequently spraying those standing on the side of the lake with misty droplets. On sunny days, it is often colored by rainbows.
Unfortunately, my first sight of the Jet d'eau comes with rain rather than a rainbow, and fog as thick as cotton. I have to squint to see anything at all.
Not a very auspicious introduction to Geneva, frequently referred to as "the capital of peace."

Built on a lake
With 200 international organizations — including the International Red Cross and the European United Nations — headquartered here, it is easy to see why. Cosmopolitan in the real sense of the word, one can often hear conversations in 25 languages on a stroll along the lake or in the city's business district.
But as famous as it is for its humanitarianism, it is equally known for a luxurious lifestyle that includes the world's best banks and watches, and even more to my liking, its best chocolates (I defy anyone with a sweet tooth to resist the dazzling displays in the shop windows).
Lake Geneva divides the city into New and Old. Most visitors start with the latter, situated on the south side of the lake. A good place to begin exploring is St. Peter's Cathedral, which became the center of the city's Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. John Calvin preached here and his seat can be seen in the north aisle.
Climb the 157 steps leading to the cathedral for a panoramic view across Geneva, the mountains of the Jura and the foothills of the Alps (you can even see Mont Blanc in neighboring France on a clear day). After your cathedral visit, check out the nearby Museum of the Reformation. The museum, in the 18th century Maison Mallet, traces the history of the Protestant Reformation, not only in a religious sense, but socially and culturally as well.
Wander through Place du Bourg, one of the oldest squares in the city, and Grand Rue, Old Town's main street with its smart shops, cafes and bakeries (it seems that every third window has one of those tantalizing displays of chocolates).
Should you be enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine in the Place du Bourg in early December and are interrupted by men in medieval garb firing muskets at each other and setting off cannons, don't be alarmed. It's merely the annual L'Escalade, a re-enactment of the 1602 defeat of the Duke of Savoy by the Genevans.
The duke, who once held sway over the city, sprung a surprise attack on the populace in an attempt to reclaim it, but was thwarted in his efforts by a determined citizenry — not the least of whom was a woman who used the best weapon at hand — a pot of hot soup that she poured over the head of a Savoyard soldier. I'm not sure if that part of the re-enactment is still carried out.
The food is fine
When it comes to food, don't settle for soup poured over your head. Geneva — being in a French canton of Switzerland — has a reputation for culinary excellence that rivals Paris and Brussels. On my first night, I popped into the Cafe du Centre, a typical bistro on Place du Molard. One of the oldest brasseries in Geneva, it had a menu of comfort food just perfect for a rainy, damp evening.
Starting with a platter of French and Swiss cheeses, I moved on to cod with olive oil, mashed potatoes and spinach — tasty without being overly fussy. I struck up a conversation with the two women sitting next to me who were wearing Michigan State athletic jerseys. They turned out to be mother and daughter from St. Petersburg, Russia, who knew nothing about the Spartans.
"We just both liked the logo," said the mother in heavily accented English.
My second day in Geneva proved to be a bit better weather-wise, so I set out on foot to explore more of the area surrounding the lake. Lake Geneva, or Lac Leman as it is known in French, is something of an oddity — being glacially fed and having the Rhone River flowing out of it.
Take a water taxi or a boat cruise to get a glimpse of both shores, or head out the pier to Bains des Paquis, an urban beach where city dwellers meet to — depending on the season — swim, take a sauna or eat fondue in the restaurant.
From September to April, the Baths of Paquis offer coed saunas, Turkish baths and a hammam, or steam room, as well as one hammam reserved for women.
In the summer, you can swim in the pools or if adventurous, in the lake — although you will have to share it with the ducks and swans. In the winter, locals and visitors alike flock here for the city's most famous fondue (booking highly recommended) served in the warmth of a rustic cabin.
Follow the flowers
Another must-see attraction is the city's Flower Clock, which leads to the Rue du Rhone and the display windows of the world's greatest watchmakers, including Rolex, Alfred Davis and Patek Philippe, which even has its own museum showcasing Swiss and European watches and enamelware from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
If it's true that every great city deserves a great hotel, Geneva definitely has one in the lakeside Hotel d' Angleterre. Prominently situated on the Quai du Mont-Blanc, this member of the Red Carnation Collection — which also has properties in the United Kingdom, South Africa and Florida — is a boutique hotel (45 rooms and suites) catering to a global clientele.
From the glass walls of its elegant Windows Restaurant, guests get a bird's eye view of the Jet d'eau while feasting on such delicacies as duck foie gras with red apple compote, mulled wine jelly and brioche; lobster and scallop carpaccio with salmon caviar, and wild boar stew with traditional garnish.
Stop in for a drink at Hotel d'Angleterre's legendary Leopard Room Bar with its cozy fire place, dark paneled wood and impressive list of whiskies and cognacs, as well as a sophisticated clientele, which includes diplomats and international titans of industry.
Hopefully, the latter have hefty expense accounts if they want to avail themselves of the bar's star attraction — an 1848 Armagnac that costs $520 a shot.
If my first day in Geneva was one of rain and fog, my last day began with bright sunshine. I took one final stroll down to the lake for a last look at the Jet d'eau. As the plume of water rose skyward, I could swear I saw a rainbow.

Oh, dear, Sue, the news about the foot is a blow! Might I suggest that along with your great attitude (love that last pix), you try an ancient dancer's technique: buy large tall bottle of olives, consume olives, fill bottle 2/3 with tap water, refridgerate, and when water is frozen roll bottle around with sore foot.
This would probably work just as well using a plastic bottle, but then you'd miss the olives.
There is healing power in flowers and colors. That polka dot cropped top appears especially beneficent!

Aren't medics pessimistic? I remember pre-op being told I might die under anaesthetic or that they could sever my spine and I'd be paralysed for life...charming!
I bet you'll be back to normal in no time.
I'd paint the glass bits in that necklace with blue nail varnish. Wonder what your plans are? x

Sue I had the same foot thing as you. It took about 4 months to get better. I now don't wear jandals as they've got no support! I also bought a special soch from my physiology...search for them. I can't remember the name, but they come in flesh colour��. I feel your pain xxx

Oh your poor foot! I hear plastic wrapped feet are all the rage at fashion week though. As are modified dog attacked socks. Your thrift shop finds are always so amazing and fun. I can't wait to see how you wear that brightly coloured dress and your pink with dots.
Thank you for your kind and supportive words about my Sophie. For awhile I will just pretend all your fur babies are mine. LOL

That's one of the probs with feet, they heal better when elevated.............but you try OpShopping with one foot above your head................go on try it!

Aw hon, that really is a drag. You have to come up with an exciting story to tell people when they ask how you managed it.
"Kicking someone's butt!" might work.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

As you may have read from my recent post last week, we decided to part ways with our Marina buffet because we had stumbled upon a new piece that would work perfectly in our space. The marina dresser sold pretty quick and it found a good forever home, so I'm happy.
Oh, and it came with a beautiful matching mirror that we aren't using- genuine mahogany. I'll post it in the coming soon section of our website if anyone is interested.

Goals January 2016 Check In
May this inspire you to start and/or continue your journey.
Let's avoid living by the old saying (On the Waterfront -1954)
"Terry: You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."
It's 2016, left and right people are checking out of here. This is not a dress rehearsal, this is it people. We have this time that God gave us and we have no idea when the clock will run out so be mindful when you're "getting by in life" instead of seizing the day. Go do everything you can do in this life and live with no regrets. Don't be afraid to try something new and do something new. Look for solutions and not excuses. If you need to improve yourself, do so, and remember those that supported you during these endeavors. Eliminate fearful people, negative perceptions, and people that feed doubt in your life. A bird cannot fly until it first believes and has faith that the strength of it's wings will carry the weight of his body. Now I'm not telling you to jump out of a window but you get the point right?
Don't be afraid to fail-you may or you may now. Failure means, dang I tried that so NEXT time I know to do this. This is life, there are no guarantees and the things that offer stability and guarantees offer a daily living death to both of us. Remember, failure doesn't make you a failure. Believe in yourself with the knowledge, acceptance, and belief that you were meant to do something extraordinary.
There are hundreds of opportunities for you to learn new skills and information about different career fields. Some require trades, degrees, or certificates. Think and choose wisely when it comes to debt and make sure that you won't have tons of loans and minimal paying jobs. Remember this-no one can stop you from ordering used books on amazon, researching articles on the internet, buying college books from goodwill at $3-$5 a pop, or starting out at entry level learning a business from the ground up. No one can stop you from attending conferences and events for those in the industry and asking questions about their career path and knowledge. You never learn if you don't ask questions and remember everyone loves to be an expert in their field. No one can stop you from purchasing a groupon course and learning the material. No one can stop you from working for a company providing education assistance so you can work and concentrate on what you want to accomplish.
Read the biography of people that have accomplished great achievements to learn how they became successful and overcame obstacles.
Are you actively pursuing your 2016 goals?
The Truth
Don't think of roadblocks, think of ways around the roadblocks.
No one has the right to tell you what you can't accomplish. Those that provide resistance must be eliminated and limited from your life.
Don't tell dream busters, losers, and people that lack faith in their talents to transfer that to you creating doubt. You can do anything you want to do. Remember none of us knew fractions until we mastered numbers. Anyone can learn anything.
Time passes rather you do something with it or you do not.
Clear Distractions from your life
Sex, partying, excessive drinking/smoking, and hanging out will not result in your strongest accomplishments falling into your lap. Chasing men and women all night and weekend long cannot be the focus when you are on your path. Attend events and enjoy those who are striving to achieve as well.
Love Relationships
If you know what you want then prepare yourself to be a great match and go after what you desire and deserve. If you want a great love then desire and demand it. If you are in a relationship going nowhere, let it go. There is nothing worse than the years passing and you realize you wasted 4,7, or 10 years of your life with something that was going nowhere. Know your standards, time limits, and don't be afraid to push your love to the limit. Some people view relationships as misery, control, constant bickering, and for those people you should know that you are capable and deserving of a healthy relationship. Be healthy and only allow others that are a source of comfort, ease, and support to enter your life. Remember you are on a mission and will on tolerate someone that lives on an unwanted level.
Don't be afraid to love or give something a try. You know your personal limits but if you have a good heart and that person has displayed good will towards you-don't be afraid to love, care, and invest in the relationship. This will ensure you will never have regrets about what "could have been" because you know you tried. Everyone can pick up a sword and shield ensuring they will never be hurt but without vulnerability we can never experience the fullness, joy, and bliss of good love. Unconditional love that can be captured when laying on the couch just relaxing while comfortably exposed to someone that cares about you. Ladies and gentleman, let people go that do not love, respect, or honor you. If someone is using you-today is the day you do spring cleaning and say "get-out, get-on, get the heck out of here." Spring cleaning time, search your heart and do what you know is right.
If you gave your heart and were hurt. Pray a prayer of blessing, to the person that hurt you then let it go. Move on. Date someone else. Don't let that person become your tragedy.
Say and Express What You Want
Working out day and night-unrealistic for most but start by 3-4 times a week walking. Walking allows you to still your mind, process thoughts, and think clearly about objectives. If you want to add your cardio workout to the walk throughout the week, even better. Start your morning being still and/or talking to the Universe/Creator to find peace before you start your day. Make a commitment, even if it's 50 sit-ups and 50 jumping jacks in the morning and at night. As you start with disciplining yourself, you will desire to do more once you start to see results. Trust me, 5 minutes in the morning makes for the start of a better day. Drink more water. You can never drink enough water. You need more water in your life. Get it?
Never lose touch with people who love you/loved you. Life doesn't give too many treasure richer than the people that love you for who you are not for what you have or your prestige. Most people have become accustomed to me telling me how much I love them before we get off the phone. Why? Most of us take for granted we have forever to know someone, well in those conversation moments I always want my friends to know how much I love them.
It's Possible
Final Thoughts
Has anyone implemented these ideologies and changes implemented in your life? I wish you well. You have a fabulous life ahead of you and I pray you experience the rewards of your labor.
Every now and then don't forget to try a new food, experience something you would never do, and take time to travel to other place to be enriched by others experiences in life. Go have some fun and be with others that share the same viewpoint in life.
Above all else, don't forget to give back. We have journeys and experiences to help others to grow and overcome obstacles so don't forget life is ultimately all for your benefit. You want to leave a legacy of touching others while reaching for your goals. You Rock! Be Blessed! Go chase your dreams and share anything different you've done in your life or your accomplishments.
Play it forward. Live with the end in mind. One day your eyes will close for the last time but you have the opportunity to be immortal through the lives you touch and the legacy you leave others.

When Lou Coppens is running down the neighborhood street pushing his 2-year-old grandson in his stroller, people must be thinking, what a nice man sharing time with his family.
Little do they know the 70-year-old Coppens is a national-class runner and, while he�s enjoying these precious moments, his mind might wander off to places like Landover, Md., and be figuring out ways to whack the fastest �elder�� speedsters in the United States.
That sort of planning resulted in not one, but two gold medals in last weekend�s U.S. Track and Field Masters Indoor Championships at the aforementioned Maryland location.
On Friday, the Warminster native zipped around the track in the 3,000 meters and cruised to victory in 13:36.
A day later, he won the mile in 6:41.
Coppens said one of the reasons he won was his support group.
�I had many cheering me on,�� he said, �and that really helps. I feel fortunate because there were so many at this event.��
It�s been a brilliant 55-year career for Coppens, including many awards and great results.
The reasons are numerous for his longevity, but his passion for running might be the biggest of all.
�What keeps me going is always striving to do good,�� he said. �Especially for family and friends. My wife is my best supporter.��
Coppens also is quite active in the Senior Olympics movement. He will be attending the National Senior Games meet this summer in Cleveland. He easily qualified in multiple events at the Pennsylvania Keystone Games last July.
At all the big meets, Lou is always smiling and chatting with other runners.
�The camaraderie among fellow runners is great,�� Coppens said. �We all want to see each person do well.��
You don�t get to be a national champion just by running each day. It�s about a total commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
�I think clean living is also important,�� he says. �I don�t smoke or drink. I go heavy on fruits and vegetables.��
There have been marathons when I�ve looked skyward and asked for assistance. Coppens does this on a more regular basis.
�I rely on God to get me through injuries,�� Coppens said. �He always does.��
So when you see grandpa running down the street with that stroller, don�t be fooled. He�s actually on a 5 mile mission, and it�s not as innocent as it might appear.
Save on the Gates
April 1 will be here in a few short days, and this is no joke: Sign up now for the eighth annual Run the Gates 5-Miler and save $15 off the race day registration price.

The first 300 pre-registrants will also be guaranteed to receive a tech �wicking� shirt for the run.

To register, go to www.RuntheGates.org, click on �Register Run,� and the either click on �Active� to register online at Active.com or download a hard copy of the registration form.
