My Review: Falling to Pieces by Leddy Harper""I'd rather endure this pain with the memory of you, than to feel nothing at all.""
Home is a dark place of anguish and pain for seventeen-year-old Bree Jacobs, forced to endure emotional and physical torment daily at the hands of a violently unstable mother. Bree's only escape is high school, particularly her history class taught by young, handsome, kind and caring Axel Taylor.

Why no home, no degree, no wife nor kids? All of my friends my age already have degrees, good jobs, nice homes and a family. I worry that I will never have any of those things and will die alone sooner. What have I done wrong? Should I be happy regardless?
A lot of people have achieved various successes/milestones throughout their lives and on their own timelines. I wouldn't focus so much on what others are doing or achieving. What do you desire and what do you want out of life? Prioritize, organize, and create a plan. You can set small and big goals, either way start moving forward within your own life. We have struggles and difficulties within these goals- it's a process. Not everyone will know because most people aren't willing to admit that some things are tough. Again, I would focus on yourself and what you want out of life. It's a journey and everyone has their own path. Focus on yours 🙂

Apple's CEO says that a cheap iPhone was never even considered
Over the past few months, hundreds of rumors surfaced indicating that Apple was building a low-cost iPhone that it would market to those who simply could not afford a $700 premium iPhone. Last week when Apple introduced both of its new iPhone models, many were disappointed that a true low-cost model failed to make an appearance.
During a recent interview with Bloomberg's Businessweek, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple "never had an objective to sell a low-cost iPhone...We're not in the junk business!" He went on to say that instead of developing a phone that could compete with bottom of the barrel Android handsets, Apple's goal with the iPhone 5C was to "sell a great phone and provide a great experience while figuring out a way to do it at a lower cost."
The absence of a sub $450 off contract iPhone has led to a drop in Apple's share price as many investors believed that Apple's new device would at least be priced somewhere in the mid-range. Unfortunately, the once largest company in the world appears to be so detached from reality that they think only offering $550 and $800 models is a good decision. Then again this is Apple we are talking about so none of this should come as a surprise.

Strange & Wonderful
MaMuse's second full-length effort, Strange and Wonderful, finds the intimate ensemble at it's buoyant best, offering plenty of lively and lilting melodic expressions, back-and-forth harmonic vocals over spritely plucked mandolin, rhythmic double bass and brush-stroked snare drums. The new project builds on the solid song-crafting and joyful two-voices-as-one elements MaMuse brought forth on it's debut CD, All the Way. Chico-based duo Karisha Longaker (vocals, bass, guitar) and Sarah Nutting (vocals, mandolin, flute, bass), along with percussionist Mike Wofchuck (Mother Hips, Loyd Family Players), strengthen their unique acoustic niche that Northern California has already embraced and that could be poised for wider adoration. Soft, cleanly enunciated lyrics of comforting earthy observations are brought forth throughout, almost taking the hand of the listener and saying, "See how truly marvelous the gift of life on this planet can be." The dozen tracks featured here include offerings of vocal jazz ("Natural Order"), nonsectarian gospel ("On the Altar"), Celtic-lite ("Lilliana") and tranquil, flute-infused ballads ("Red Bud"). The sound on the CD, which includes some incredibly soft and delicate passages, is impeccable, thanks to local audio superstar Dale Price and his Electric Canyon Studios. Strange and Wonderful completely sidesteps any hint of political content, but the profoundness of MaMuse's muses might just be the perfect medicine for all political parties.

Best Thesis Award for Wenyi Li
Dr Wenyi Li has been awarded the Graham Johnston Best Thesis Award from RACI Division of Medicinal Chemistry/Chemical Biology. As part of the award, he has been invited to present a lecture on his research at the upcoming RACI Centenary Congress (23-28 July 2017).
Dr Li found that the antibacterial activity of a proline-rich antimicrobial peptide against Gram-negative bacteria was extended by C-terminal functionalization and multimerization using different linker groups. The mechanism of action was investigated in E. coli and model membranes. The C-modified peptides had a broader spectrum and increased potency as potential antibiotics.
The Graham Johnston Best Thesis Award is an award for the best PhD thesis submitted in the previous two years in Medicinal Chemistry/Chemical Biology. This award, formerly known as the Bionomics Best Thesis Award, has been renamed in recognition of Professor Graham Johnston's seminal contribution to the Division as well as pharmacology and medicinal chemistry in Australia. The award is designed to give recognition of outstanding achievement in research and to promote chemical communication.
The award is open to anyone working broadly in the design, synthesis, and development of bioactive agents.
Dr Li was supervised by Professor Frances Separovic and Professor John Wade.

In applications where it is necessary to ensure proper alignment between a gearbox and a driven shaft, Brevini's in-line and right angle shaft mounted planetary gearboxes provide the ideal solution.
Shaft Mounted Gearboxes
The ability of the compact and efficient shaft mounted gearboxes, not only to provide alignment between shafts, but also their flexibility of use and the fact that no machining is required to mount them to frames, are all major factors in their widespread use across all industry sectors.
Complementing these user benefits is the flexibility offered by two different types of shaft configurations: hollow shaft for shrink disc connection or keyed cylindrical female shaft (FP type).

HTML Tutorial - How To HTML Code For Dummies
HTML coding is a must when it comes to creating web pages online.
HTML can be simple to learn. This guide will teach you some of the basic HTML coding that will help you create your first web page!
To Start A Web Page
The HTML code of a web page starts like this:
Type your HTML code in your computers text writing program such as notepad(PC) or textedit(MAC). You should save the file on your computer as "title".html
Always remember to put the ".html" at the end!
If you are using a MAC you will need to make sure that you are typing your code as "plain text." Click "format" and then "make plain text."
After you have saved your web page you can open it with your web browser, such as Safari or Internet Explorer. I like to open my page every time I change something to make sure it's coming out as planned!
The <TITLE> is the line of words that you see at the very top of your web browser.
Your <TITLE> should be short and descriptive of your page.
The <BODY> portion of your code is where you put everything that will be contained on your web page such as; text, images, videos, and more!
You can also use the <BODY> to change the background of your web page but I'll save that for another hub!
To add text to your web page simply type the text after the <BODY> tag. The </BODY> tag ends the web page, so be sure that everything is between those two tags!
The possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing your web page, but I'll save most of that for another hub as well. This one is just for the basics!
Start typing the text of your page and save the file and open with your browser to see how it looks!
Sample Web Page
Here is a sample web page, called Dingy's Website, for you to copy and save on your computer. Use this as your test page. Make changes and see how they look with your browser!
Dingy's Website
Hello, welcome to my web page. This is a sample website that I made for you to change!
Now you should know some of the basics to making a website. Try it out see how you like it! Remember your web page can only be viewed on your computer! It is not "online" unless you purchase a web domain and upload your page.
Good luck, and watch for more hubs on HTML coding!

What? now I'm really lost. My google adsence is telling me that i can add a banner on my webpage advertising something. I already have added capsules on my hubpages from amazon with amazon products. But a banner would put it on my page, like a link to get amazon giftcards. It gives me this long code to copy and paste into the code to my webpages. Does that mean my hubpages site? Where is my hubpages webpage that i can add the code into, they say at the bottom right before the HTML? Help. PS i sent an email to adsence amazon and asked them for help and they said they can't help me, and send me to pages that make no sence. Maybe that's why they call them adsence it should be called nosence. All my income on the site shows all zero's for years.
I guess I'm the only 12 yearold on here trying to code HTMLs?
It's seems like a basic coding, you may check to make it better. I have visited this : hubpages.com/hub/my-first-website.
Thanks this seemed to explain a lot to a total noob like me.
Hey there.
I am creating my first website as a year 13 in school. I have not created one before and don't really know what im doing. What i am after is information as to how i can add in a constrained box area with its own scroll bar. I do not understand most webtalk so please help me and explain as if i also were a five year old.
Please help :)
This is verys usfull for dummies lol I was one but then my friend introduced me to html and now Im basically a nerd like him!!!!
Your doctype declaration should be at the top of the page. If it is xhtml, it should also have the xml declaration on top of that also. I prefer to have my html tags in lower case.
why couldn't the W3 tutorial be this easy?
I just noticed now that the link in my post is not working, because of the ) at the end... So here it is again, just to be sure: https://hubpages.com/technology/my-first-webpage
You may also want to read this hub, with very basic information: https://hubpages.com/technology/my-first-website
I hope my hubs clear up the basics a little. After that you can continue with the great hubs that Ding.A.Ling123 has written.
Very useful for complete beginners like me!
Hello Jen
I've put together a hub which has the same information as this one, but I have it written it in a style as if you were 5 years old... Maybe my hub can help you? It's called 'My first webpage'
By the way, 5 years old kids usually learn very fast ;-) They need the explanation in a very different way than adults do. My hub is for adults who just don't understand how to get started putting their first HTML page together... I really hope my hub can help you. And after that you can continue with the lessons here, which Ding.A.Ling123 has put together.
I hope I can study this and actually do it. I would love to understand HTML better. I wish someone could talk to me like I'm 5 years old, maybe then I could get it. :D Thanks for the hub.

It may seem like a lot of purée to make and it was. But I had a cunning plan . . . the leftovers were made into falafels, a recipe for which will follow shortly!
Serves 4
Skill level: Easy
2 tbsp olive oil
1 x Spanish onion, finely chopped
3 x garlic cloves, very finely chopped
500g red lentils
1½ tsp ground coriander
1½ tsp ground cumin
a pinch of cayenne pepper
salt and freshly ground black pepper
ground paprika, to serve
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan. Gently fry the onions with a pinch of salt until softened - about 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to fry until the onions have coloured a little.
- Add the lentils and enough water to just cover. Then add the spices, stir well and cover. Bring to the boil, add a little salt and pepper and then simmer until the lentils are beginning to disintegrate. This should take about 20 minutes. Add more water if it looks as if the lentils are drying out. The lentils should break down enough so that you won't need to actually purée them.
- Before serving, sprinkle over a little ground paprika.

Cultures clashed around me in East Lansing Thursday as I struggled with chopsticks while watching streams of shamrock-clad MSU students parade past the window in search of green beer. Like the bars the crowds were headed toward, the restaurant I was in was pumping Irish tunes through the speakers.
But the Irish theme ended there
No corned beef or cabbage for me this St. Patrick's Day — I had come to Sapporo Ramen & Noodle Bar for its authentic Japanese ramen. I found exactly what I was looking for in the Tokyo Shoyu bowl. The broth is a blend of traditional ra men broth bases, and this version of the noodle dish features fresh ramen noodles, soy tare sauce, roasted pork, fermented bamboo shoots and a marinated soft-boiled egg. The dish is then topped with shredded scallions and roasted seaweed, which gives the soup a salty kick that is much more satisfying than the sodium-soaked instant ramen most of us are familiar with.
The dish comes with a deep spoon for sipping the broth after you've devoured the bulk of the meal. Warm and savory, the Tokyo Shoyu bowl could easily become your next favorite comfort food — as long as you're also comfortable with chopsticks.
Sapporo Ramen & Noodle Bar
11 a.m.-9:45 p.m. Monday- Thursday; 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday-Saturday; noon-9 p.m. Sunday 317 M.A.C. Ave., East Lansing (517) 580-4251, facebook.com/sappororamenbar
What's your favorite dish?
Do you have a go-to dish at your favorite local restaurant? We want to know about it. Email your favorite dish and a short explanation about why you love it to food@ lansingcitypulse.com, and it may be featured in a future issue. If possible, please send a photo along with your description — a nice smartphone photo is fine. Cheers!

Ida (2014) (PG-13)
"Ida" takes a lot of premises that could be great and mashes them into a movie that runs short of what it could have achieved while feeling slightly more than just stereotypical. So take any movie based in the aftermath of WWII and shoot it in black and white...what is it about? The Holocaust of course! I know it may seem a bit uncouth to joke about; but the lack of originality (or at least, surprise) here is so glaring that it doesn't come across as an emotional powerhouse like it could have.
Everything that director and screenwriter Pawel Pawlikowski does is for the purpose of anti-sentimentality.
Take this for example: The story's climax comes at the very beginning when a young girl named Anna (Agata Trzebuchowska) is told that before she takes her vows and becomes a nun, she needs to visit her only living relative, Wanda (Agata Kulesza). So Anna goes off to find her aunt and when she does, they have literally just met for the first time when Wanda drops the bombshell on Anna, Oh btw you're name is Ida and your Jewish. This changes literally everything about how Ida/Anna was raised. How can she now identify with something that she's had no idea about for her entire life?
Pawlikowski doesn't shoot this scene for tears and frustration, just for the maturity of subtle resignation, which is kind of cheating the viewer out of at least one tissue. Anna/Ida is such an old soul that these things don't seem to bother her; but she does say that she wants to see her parents' graves. Unfortunately, that may be a little difficult because most of the Jews in Poland during the time of the war, don't have marked graves...but they try anyway.
Wanda and Ida travel up to a little country house where supposedly Ida's parents hid during the war and Wanda starts to question the boy who owns his father's land now. They don't get the answers that they want and eventually track the old man down to a hospital where things start to become a little more clear as to why Wanda has started to become more emotionally explosive.
The only time we see an emotional rise out of Ida is when it is surrounding her religion and the implications that spin-off thereof. Because she now sits between two religions, Ida has to make a choice on which one will be the more prominent role in her life. But Catholicism is her life, what she was raised on. How can she reject that?
In all honesty, the religious struggles are not the centerpiece for Pawlikowski's movie, but the plot instead...which is a shame because it's far less interesting and less moving.
"Ida" is shot in crisp black and white with a lot of interesting camera choices. The shots will often crop a character out of the frame or focus on one part of their head instead of letting us see their full face in the frame. It's interesting and it's not distracting, so that's nice; but it hardly constitutes as anything that revolutionary.
The movie's "foreign" feel, which I am quite secure in saying has been perfected by Michael Haneke, is also the reason for its "shrug of the shoulders" narrative that almost appears to not even care about its characters.
There is an entire side-plot that surrounds Ida giving up her future vows to know what the world tastes like, even that Pawlikowski heavily implies that she might not be heterosexual—and it serves no one any good.
"Ida" does have it's great moments though and Kulesza's performance is one of them. It looks amazing, it feels pretty true to the time period, and it doesn't shout too loudly about what its next movie is going to be. Still, it feels recycled and I can't help but want something a little fresher from such a promising film.
"Ida" is good, but that's where it stops.
Score: ★★★

The United States was the first country in the world to set aside its most significant places as national parks so that they could be enjoyed by all. The National Park Service was established on August 25, 1916, and today cares for 401 national parks throughout the country - each one an important part of our collective identity. Some parks commemorate notable people and achievements, others conserve magnificent landscapes and natural wonders, and all provide a place to have fun and learn something.
The staff at Vicksburg National Military Park invites the public to celebrate the National Park Service Birthday (Founder's Day) on Sunday, August 25, 2013 and experience America's Best Idea – the national parks. Entrance fees will be waived on Sunday, August 25, 2013, making it easier for visitors to tour the park and enjoy its significant resources.
The mission of the National Park Service extends beyond parks into communities across the country where we work with partners to help preserve local history and create close-to-home recreational opportunities that revitalize neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life. In addition, the Junior Ranger program encourages America's youth to explore, protect, and learn about our National Parks.
We invite you to bring your family out to celebrate this special birthday by experiencing Your National Park.

Peggy Ryan, who teamed with dance partner Donald O'Connor in movie musicals such as "This Is the Life" and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," died October 30 in Las Vegas from complications from two strokes. She was 80.
Ryan, who taught tap dancing and produced revues in Las Vegas for the last several years, was teaching and performing until several days before entering the hospital.
Ryan danced and acted in more than two dozen films, but her most memorable roles were with O'Connor. The duo became known for high-energy, complex routines in films like "Mister Big" in 1943 and 1944's "Chip Off the Old Block," "The Merry Monahans" and "Bowery to Broadway."
Her final movie was "All Ashore" with Mickey Rooney in 1953.
In the late 1960s, Ryan began starring in the television police drama "Hawaii Five-O" as secretary to Jack Lord's Steve McGarrett.
Born Margaret O'Rene Ryan in Long Beach, Calif., she was dancing professionally in her parents' vaudeville act by age 3.
Ryan's television appearances included the 1948 premieres of two variety shows, Ed Sullivan's "Toast of the Town" and Milton Berle's "Texaco Star Theater."

ISIS theologians had issued a fatwa on when "owners" of women enslaved by the ISIS can have sex with them.
The fatwa sheds new light on how ISIS is trying to reinterpret centuries-old teachings to justify the sexual slavery of women in the swaths of Syria and Iraq it controls. Among the rule are bans on a father and a son having sex with the same female slave; and the owner of a mother and daughter having sex with both.
ISIS is notorious for systematic abduction and rape of thousands of women and girls especially members of the Yazidi minority in northern Iraq.

It's about time, teachers, to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
The dove is a symbol of both peace and hope. As such, it is a great symbol to honor Dr. King. Using the template that follows, have your students cut out a double copy of the dove. Glue the dove's body together, leaving the wings separated. Gently fold the wings down on each side of the dove to simulate flight. Color an eye on each side of the head. Punch a hole and string yarn through it to allow the dove to be hung. Hang the doves from the ceiling for a spectacular "peace rally."
You can find this craftivity, poems, teaching points, skill lessons, and other activities in my product, Poetry Possibilities for MLK, Jr. Day. This template is available on Google Docs.

I've been writing romance since 1990. Even in the beginning, I wrote hot. That's what I liked to read, and I sometimes would poke around the middle of a new book looking for the love scene. As I created my own story, I most looked forward to scenes of physical of intimacy between my characters, ranging from the first innocent brush of hands, to the first kiss, to the first scene where they almost make love, to the first time they consummate their passion. And then, of course to repeat performances because they just can't get enough of each other.
Twenty-two years is a long time to have been doing something, and over that time, the romance genre has branched out and experimented, boldly going places where our foremothers didn't imagine. A subset of the genre has ventured into the frankly erotic, and I'm one of the people who've followed it there. My Carina titles aren't erotic, but they're hot. Romantic Times even characterized Miss Foster's Folly as a "scorcher."
Today, I'd like to offer a few tips on writing the physical side of love. They're not exhaustive. I don't have time or room here to give a complete course on writing love scenes. As always, you should certainly ignore my ideas if they don't feel right for you. In any case, here they are.
1) Climaxes aren't the main point. That may sound odd, but I once wrote in the margin of a contest entry "to many climaxes." Several times in the chapters I read, the main character would become overcome by lust and dash into the bathroom or somewhere else private to give herself some relief. It wasn't convincing. What we need to experience as readers is the realization that our characters have committed to making love to each other, followed by the first touches and then the climb to full arousal. In fact, the plateau right before the ultimate moment has the greatest potential for showing how excited the characters have become. Draw that moment out in great detail and follow it with the ultimate reward, and you'll have satisfied readers. It's possible to linger too long in the plateau phase, but I've seldom seen that happen. Rushing things is more common. Ask for feedback from other writers if you're having a difficult time with this.
2) Euphemisms and other problems with language. Back in the olden days, we weren't allowed to use crude words for things. "Manhood" and "hardness" were pretty much necessary as was "her most sensitive scrap of flesh" because the real words for these things didn't appear in romance novels. Of course, even back then, we all laughed at things like "his purple-tipped dart of love."
Now, we use more straightforward language, but we still have a problem with the use of language during high arousal. Namely, just about nothing rational we can say will accurately reflect what goes on in someone's mind as s/he approaches climax. While we certainly don't think of "my most sensitive scrap of flesh" or "my throbbing organ," we also don't really reflect on those body parts by their more down-to-Earth or clinical terms, either. Mostly we think in simple concepts, our intellectual brains having tuned out long before. We might think "harder, lower, there, don't stop" but that's about it. Similarly, we don't talk a whole lot but only make noises that are pretty much impossible to translate to the written word. Trust me on this. I've tried.
I think, in the end, we have to compromise between what's real and what written language allows us to convey. So, while we won't use long, flowery descriptions of body parts and what who's doing to whom, we will have to give our characters a little more coherent thought than what actually takes place during sex. Similarly, although our characters won't speak in long sentences with subordinate clauses, we can allow them a little bit of teasing or telling the other how very turned on they are.
This issue is something I'm still grappling with in my writing, and I'd love to hear your thoughts and any solutions you may have come up with.
3) She did/he did. While we're writing love scenes, it's easy to slip into a rhythm of describing our characters' actions and reactions to the acts of love. It comes out something like:
"He pressed a kiss to her earlobe and then another against the corner of her jaw. She sighed and dug her fingers into his hair to urge him downward. He moved lower, now caressing her neck and skimming his fingers over her ribs. She arched her back and stretched at the pure, sensual pleasure of his body moving over hers."
That's extreme, but I used to write in something similar to this rhythm until an editor finally told me to cut it out. I've also seen it in other people's writing. As a matter of fact, I think this pitfall is what results in what readers see as "tab A into slot B" love scene writing.
Of course, inserting emotion in bits between the lovely caresses will help to fix this problem. Express her joy that this magnificent man loves her. Show her surprise that anything could feel so good.
For a different rhythm, you can insert a sentence fragment or even a one-word sentence. You can also change the sentence structure. Above, I could have written, "Moving lower, he caressed her neck while his fingers skimmed over her ribs." Be careful, though, not to have characters do two things at once if doing both is impossible. For example, a woman can walk slowly toward her lover while removing her bra. If she tries "Removing her panties, she walked slowly…" she's like to end up flat on her face.
Give these a try while you're writing your next love scene and let me know if they help.

Feds Want Banks to Strengthen Web Log Ons
Federal regulators will require banks to strengthen security for Internet customers through authentication that goes beyond mere user names and passwords, which have become too easy for criminals to exploit.
Bank Web sites are expected to adopt some form of "two-factor" authentication by the end of 2006, regulators with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council said in a letter to banks last week.
In two-factor authentication, customers must confirm their identities not only through something they know, like a PIN or password, but also with something they physically have, like a hardware token with numeric access codes that change every minute.

If any of you have been following along in my blog, I just got done with another round of the hCG diet. All in all, I lost 23 pounds in 42 days. There were a couple of hiccups along the way with no weight loss for some unknown reason, but I pushed through it. Now I'm on the "Atkins" 3-week stabilization period, where I've failed at least twice before and regained a bunch of weight back. Once you get out of shape during these 3 weeks it's really hard to get back on track and it's easy to give up. I was determined not to let that happen to me again! So, I've looked up a number of recipes online that are low carb. The only difference between Atkins Induction and this stabilization period (besides the fact that if you gain 2+ lbs you can't have anything to eat all day until dinner and then stuff yourself full of the fattiest steak you can find. I've done this before and it works, but I hate starving myself all day) is that not only does it need to be low carb, but also low fat (and as little sugar as possible), so not every Atkins Induction recipe will work for my needs.
So, I've scoured the internet looking for some good ones, and as always, I want to thank Alton Brown for giving me not just the knowledge of how to put together a recipe, but how to COOK in general. How to know what will work and what won't, and how to make changes to get your food to taste even better.
Case in point, a Cheesy Chicken Broccoli recipe I found on genaw.com. I'm sure it's good as is, but I knew I could make it REALLY good.
It calls to cook the chicken and bacon ahead of time, add some mayonnaise, sour cream and chicken bullion and mix it all together with the broccoli, sprinkle cheese on top and bake for 25 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Well, that's all well and good, but honestly, I hate the texture of melted cheddar cheese. It gets hard, plastic-y, and so greasy, so I had a better idea. Here is my recipe (which isn't quite as Atkins friendly unfortunately!):
Cook your chicken and bacon ahead of time and make a basic bechamel sauce instead. I used Alton Brown's recipe that he taught me for his baked Mac and Cheese. However, I ended up with WAY too much sauce, so you can cut it in half, or save it for another application! I did only 10 oz of cheese since he calls for 3/4 of it to be in the sauce and the rest to go on top. But I changed it up again - I had several different kinds of cheese, so I used 2 slices of pepper jack, 2 slices of provolone, 2 slices of Colby jack, and the remainder as shredded cheddar. It had a slightly queso-dip taste due to the pepper jack which I really liked.
[The basic bechamel requires 3 tbs of flour. Since I only used about half the sauce, that's only 1-1/2 tbs of flour, and that 1-1/2 tbs is divided into at least 4 servings, so I really don't think the carb count would be terrible. I did omit the garlic powder as she suggested to save on carbs as well.]
The only other change I made to the recipe was that instead of doing 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup sour cream, I saved some fat by doing 1/4 Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream. I also did what she suggested and just added the bullion cube to that mixture without any added water.
One word of warning: I wouldn't be too liberal with the salt, here. Cheese has a lot of salt, so does bacon and the bullion cube. My final product was a bit salty because I'd seasoned the chicken prior to cooking, and salted the cheese a bit.
But the end result? Oh my goodness, it's amazing. I'm going to be making this over and over for sure!
I've done minor changes to a couple of other recipes as well, mostly by replacing some of the fat with Greek yogurt, which I can't even taste in the final product. I did it with an egg salad recipe I found on the same website, and it tastes just as good to me!

I was me before you were ever trying to be me. That is a goal you can never wish to accomplish, and I don't mean that in an arrogant way. It's physically impossible for you to be me!
Do you now me? Have you been watching me? Are you that heavy breathing in the night and on the phone and in those letters with the words "hhhhhhuuuuu uhhhhhhh huuuuuuuuuuu uhhhhhh" on them over and over again?

Thomas, Angie. The Hate U Give. Balzer & Bray/Hyperteen, 2017. Print.
I'm a stickler for the rules.
Ask anyone—my friends, my colleagues, my students. There's just something about guidelines that make me feel safe, and I attempt to instill that same sense of security in my classroom.
But there is one area where I will always push and rail against the status quo. I want my students to read important books, even the frequently challenged or controversial (within reason, of course).
When I first read Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, I realized I was in possession of something so important that I had to incorporate it into my curriculum. I've read many good books since, but none that ignited that sort of fervor in me.
Until I read Angie Thomas' The Hate U Give. My advice: get this book into the hands of your students. Lend it to your family and friends. Discuss it in book clubs and on Goodreads. This book is that important.
Starr Carter is a sixteen-year-old high school student, basketball player, and sneaker enthusiast stuck between two worlds. She lives with her family in the crumbling but familiar Garden Heights, an area saturated with gang warfare. On the other side of town, Starr attends a preppy private school, Williamson, where she is one of the only African American students in attendance.
Starr's life is irrevocably altered when she witnesses the shooting death of her lifelong friend, Khalil. As the media and community begin pointing fingers, Starr realizes that, unless she speaks up, prejudices and misinformation will continue to mutilate the truth. Starr is told that her voice is her most powerful weapon, yet several factors keep her silent: her loyalty to her Uncle Carlos, a police detective; her fear of retribution from the gangs in Garden Heights; and her reputation among her friends at Williamson, including her white boyfriend Chris and racially insensitive friend Hailey. Will Starr ever merge her "Williamson Starr" persona with who she really is? Will she find the courage to share her eyewitness account with the world? Will Khalil ever receive the justice he deserves?
Starr's heart is continually pulled in a million different directions, and this is perhaps The Hate U Give's greatest attribute. Her allegiances are blurry and gray—for example, she is, at times, mortified at the thought of her Williamson friends or boyfriend visiting Garden Heights. At other moments, she appreciates her community's eccentricities and is defensive of her family and neighbors. Starr's complexities—and the many facets of her narrative—keep readers hooked until the very last page.
I could heap more praise upon this novel—the dialogue and pacing are perfect. The only thing I truly hungered for was sensory detail. I wanted more descriptions of Williamson, of Garden Heights, of the television studios and courtrooms and storefronts. But, again, this is nitpicking. Thomas' novel is truly worthy of the praise it has received.
I wouldn't hesitate to use The Hate U Give in my classroom. There was one section, specifically, that made me tear up with its poignancy:
"That's the problem. We let people say stuff, and they say it so much that it becomes okay to them and normal for us. What's the point of having a voice if you're going to be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?
This novel is brimming with valuable talking points. When is it important to speak out? Why do we accept racism, sexism, homophobia, or prejudices of any kind as normal? How can the media alter our perception of victims and perpetrators alike? These might lead to tough conversations, but I feel The Hate U Give is worth it. Like I said earlier, the book is that important.

More than 28,000 people have disappeared in Mexico in the decade since the country began its war on drugs, according to a report published Friday by the Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights.
Unlike the disappeared from Argentina's Dirty War, and other campaigns of state repression in Latin America during the Cold War period, the reason 28,161 people are listed in the Missing or Disappeared People National Registry is not necessarily tied to any leftist activism. But just as state officials in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Honduras, Guatemala and elsewhere were slow to investigate the disappearances, so too have Mexican officials been reluctant to account for the missing.
"Today, people without social or political activism are victims of enforced disappearance," the commission said in a statement. "The causes and reasons are not clear, and no authority has been able to explain beyond speeches denying it or stigmatizing the victims."
The commission says that it is unaware of any current or ongoing state investigations into any of the 28,000 who have vanished. On Friday, the representative of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Jan Jarab, said the few actions taken by the Mexican government to investigate or address the disappearances have failed.
The most infamous disappearance over that period is the 2014 disappearance of 43 undergraduate students at a teachers college from the city of Iguala in southwestern Mexico. According to a 608-page report by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the students were headed to a ceremony in Mexico City to commemorate the 1968 massacre of as many as 300 students when they were intercepted by municipal police officers. With military intelligence, and federal law-enforcement officers nearby, the report said, the students were forced at gunpoint into a convoy of police cars and never seen again.
The Mexican Commission for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights proposed a system of tracking and investigating disappearances but organization officials acknowledged they had little hope the Mexican government would consider the idea. Since 2006, international non-governmental organizations have made more than 200 recommendations to address the issue but none have been adopted.
"We are convinced that Mexico should implement a policy of transitional justice of facts that violate human rights, as well as national system for tracing missing persons, like victims demand," the analysis says.
The commission concluded that people who disappear, as if in thin air, has become an altogether "normal situation for many institutions."

Note: I have updated the definition of landed, see below.
Altais has recently seen some very strange events with the discovery in late 3301 of a huge monolith on Altais 2B. This quickly became a local tourist attraction with base jumping thrill seekers a regular feature. Then on the 26th May 3302 the monolith disappeared without a trace. Local inhabitants started to mutter about aliens and drew parallels to the occurrences in the 20th century classic novels 2001: A Space Odyssey and sequels where a monolith is discovered, subsequently disappears and converts a planet into a new star. People were understandably nervous.
In an effort to reassure local residents and tourists alike Manager Garret Bryant of Altais Industries has asked the Buckyball Racing Club to host an event to demonstrate that Altais is as safe ever and open for business as usual.
Although Bucky is not so sure. Having visited the site he reckons he can see the von Neumann machines at work! Take a look when you land, be careful you aren't converted into star fuel though.
Potential racers for the event are encouraged to gather in the Monolith bar at Swanson Plant, Altais.
The event will run from 0000 IGT/UTC 2nd July until 2359 IGT/UTC 10th July 3302. Any runs must have a start time before 2359 IGT/UTC 10th July 3302 to be eligible.
Final Results
New to Racing?
Please refer to the following instructional video, courtesy of CMDR furrycat:
Don't worry too much about all the rules and regulations below it pretty easy once you give it a go.
Rules and Regulations
There are two classes the Regulation Sidewinder and Open Unlimited.
The regulation sidewinder must be outfitted as follows. The docking computer must be fitted for its theme relevant soundtrack although it need not be used during the race Note after marveling at the musical docking skills of the SDC I suggest you disable it in your modules tab to avoid it taking over at an inopportune moment lol.
The basic discovery scanner may be exchanged for the intermediate or advanced equivalents.
In Open Unlimited anything goes – Engineer's modifications and FSD boosts are allowed.
This race requires the Elite Dangerous: Horizons expansion.
When docked in station you must take a screen shot showing the on screen clock. You must be docked.
When landing on a planet you must take a screen shot with the ship landed. After struggling to land a couple of times I have decided to redefine "landed".
To be landed you must:
1. Have an altitude of 10m or less
2. Have a speed of 0
3. Have your gear down
You must land within +/- 0.02 degrees latitude/longitude of the coordinates given.
The use of wingman nav lock is not permitted.
The Route
We will be visiting some 2001/2010 themed sites around the Altais area. For the two planetary landings that you take off from I have give two options to land at. They are on opposite sides of the planet so hopefully your next destination will never be obscured from one of them. You only need to land at one destination on each planet not both.
Start at Swanson Plant, Altais
Visit in any order
USS Discovery - AKA - Asaro Dock, Kholedo
Space Station V - AKA - Llyod Terminal, Tatil
Europan Ice Canyon - AKA - Aurea 1 C 30.88/-159.95 or -26.04/159.93
Tycho Crater - AKA - Clotti A 2 -20.50/-120.59 or 16.42/119.03
Finish landed on Altais 2B 1.80/46.00 lat/long, the site of the vanished monolith.

Hints and Tips for Getting to Coordinates
Some tips that I find useful.
1 Scan the nav beacon then you can use other stellar bodies to tell which way up you are on approach
2 O'Connor hanger around Clotti A 2 is in an equatorial orbit
3 Clotti A 2 landing site 16.42/119.03 is East of the peak
4 Clotti A 2 landing site -20.50/120.59 is on the peak
5 Aurea 1 C A is in an approximately equatorial orbit
6 Aurea 1 C landing sites are on small plateaus within canyons
7 Altais 1 B landing site is in a huge crater - you can't miss it ;)
8 Learn about latitude and longitude and how the numbers move relative to NSEW. In ED they seem to be the opposite of what I would expect based on google searches...
9 Take screen shots/video on departure so you can use them in reverse on the way in
10 Guide for navigating to planetary coordinates https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showth...tes-discussion

What's the Problem?
46 comments:
Beautifully photographed!ReplyDelete
hahah. So cute! I love seeing your reroot zone! So distracted by all the heads I want! Wanna know what's spooky? One of your plug girls, the one with the Candy shirt? I actually have that doll I think and her name? Candy. Creeepyyyy. I need to bring that girl back to life.ReplyDelete
Your editing of facial expressions is amazing!Replies
I had a mini panic attack when I actually pulled out all my future projects. The truth is...that isn't even all of them. I had no way of fitting everything into the scene. lol I'm still horrified at the visual of unfinished projects. The perfectionist part of me is screaming. Haha!Delete
And thank you so much! It takes FOREVER! I took all of these pictures last weekend and have been working on them off/on all week.
As for Alexia aka "Candy" in Grandville...she is actually a childhood doll that belongs to my sister (Nikita). She always had this hilarious valley voice she would give her. And to this day, if I'm being too serious/stressed she'll interject what we now call, "Alexiaisms" into the conversation. Cheers me up every time. (^_^) lol Oh, and the Candy thing...so creepy! xD Although, I hope you do bring her back to life!
So freaking cute! Molly is the cutest doll I've seen in a long time!ReplyDelete
Love the reroot dungeon! The facial expressions on the disembodied heads are amazing too!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Saffy! (^_^) Please tell me I'm not the only one with a re-root dungeon?! lol And I'm super happy the facial expressions went over so well! They took a long time, and I wasn't sure how they would project over all.Delete
The facial expressions are FULLY AWESOME!!!Delete
Thank you!!! (^_^)Delete
Hello from Spain: I like your area reroot. You have many heads. Your program is very real facial expressions. I really like the story and the pictures. The dspacho with wooden table and shelving is fabulous. Great job. Keep in touchReplyDelete
LMAOOO love it, that totally made my day, always enjoy the antics :)ReplyDelete
This is awesome!!! Come on we gotta admit there have been MANY times we wanted to stab our boss in the head with something sharp. But Molly actually did it!!!ReplyDelete
This entire blog post was wonderful, but I'm fixated on two things. First, that desk!!! It's absolutely gorgeous and makes me want to renew my vow to learn woodworking. My dolls want a desk, and eventually, a nice vanity with a mirror. I have a neighbor who does woodworking... I may have to trade him homemade cookies for lessons.ReplyDelete
(I should do this sooner rather than later. The dolls have threatened to take my chocolate hostage.)
And second... the re-rooting dungeon!!! Best idea ever. So much better than just putting supplies in a box. I don't have enough doll hair/heads at the moment to warrant doing something like this, but I do have a surplus of beadwork, so the dolls are getting an art gallery instead. My Top Model Summer doll, Allison, has already appointed herself the curator.Replies
Thank you Sarah! My brother really blew me away with the beautiful desk! <3 I'm either going to have him teach me, or beg him to make me more amazing pieces. lol You should get into wood working! I bet you would come up with some fabulous stuff! (^_^)Delete
Oh no! Doll threats...dangerous.
Thank you! It really fell into place naturally. I have been doing the re-root thing for so long, that I always kind of imagined what a physically constructed re-root area would look like (with designated stations). And then I began wondering how funny it would be if the dolls could re-root one another. Kind of nuts, but I was pleased with how it turned out.
Please let me know when you have the art gallery set up! I would love to see it! Allison sounds like she may be the woman for the job, but then again....she may be signing on for much more than she realizes. 1/6 Cat says....RUN! lol
OMG, will have to go back and take a look again. Love all the details and the facial expressions. Got a kick from the Tarina head on the shelf. Love this post Cat!!ReplyDelete
Love this blog post Cat! The facial expressions are priceless. Also love the Tarina head on the shelf!ReplyDelete
Hah! All the calamity and activity going on is hilarious. I love how tough and snarky Molly is. Can't wait to see more of this motley crew!ReplyDelete
Everything is so perfect! Story, characters, fashion, settings, editing.. Great! Great! Great!ReplyDelete
The facial expressions make this even better! I kept going back to look at them. They're beautiful! Poor 1:6 Cat though. Hopefully she's able to get everyone settled down before they drive her too insane.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Alura!! I'm so surprised at how much everyone enjoyed the facial expressions. Definitely going to be a continued theme in each installment. :) And I think she will bounce back. I picked her to run things when I can't for a reason! lol I'm sure she will have moments of insanity, but who doesn't? ;)Delete
Sounds like ADF needs a week-long retreat to one of those awful workplace get-along workshops. Although it might be funny to see how many bodies hit the floor during the "trust fall" exercises!ReplyDelete
And I wish I had a separate re-root dungeon. I'm sleeping in mine, at the moment! :)Replies
Oh my goodness!!! That is an exceptional idea and point! If things keep on this rocky road, a workplace get-along workshop may be in their future. (If they do go, you will be credited and linked to for such an outstanding idea.) (^_^)Delete
I hope one day you get your very own re-rooting palace! You are on it! SO happy each time I see your newest endeavour! Thank you for the awesome comment and idea Tina!
Buenas fotos, pero me dio miedo tu historia, me encantaron los muebles, buen trabajo de fotografia.ReplyDelete
Hilarious! I loved when London put the hat on Cat's head. And Molly is just too adorable, sans the attitude. lol. And the Candy girl was too funny. Great dialogue.ReplyDelete
Hahahaha! OMG! This is great Cat!! I was cracking up the whole way through. I love the look on the 2 dolls faces that are on the mannequins when they are between Molly and 1:6 Cat. Awkward!! Oh and the pic of Ron Burgandy hilarious. Molly seems to be quite stressed....Anyhoo! I loved reading a story from you again. Try not to stress too much. Being a perfectionist can be quite stressful. I know I do it too when working on projects.ReplyDelete
Take care!! ^_^Replies
Thank you Miranda!!! (Always happy to see you!!) I am stoked to hear you laughed throughout the story. I'm already working on the next installment! ;) A lot of people have mentioned loving that picture! I was laughing while I edited it, and I tried out a few different expressions before I settled on those. lol Very awkward!Delete
After I realized where the story was going that part of Anchorman kept ringing in my head. I thought it fitting to include it. lol
From one perfectionist to another...I AGREE!! I'm making sure I take my time and enjoy it. As I always say, this is meant to be fun! (^_^)
And I thought I had problems over here. Love that desk hope mini Cat put's Molly in her place later.ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL! You do have problems over there, but they are just different problems. BTW I love reading/watching your doll related problems! (^_^) So happy I caught up! I look forward to your posts every Monday! <3Delete
Thank you so much! My brother needs to make more 1/6 stuff! lol And I'm interested to see how this Molly debacle plays out. ;)
I love the desk and the story was great too!ReplyDelete
Oh I love your blog and diorama settings!! I actually really like dolls in casual clothes because their not common and most dolls are always dressed up. And look at all those heads! I also have a bunch of doll heads because I keep switching doll bodies around. It looks like I will need to catch up on your past posts!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much Christine! <3 I don't dress up too often (almost never) and I really wanted my 1/6 version to reflect that. Everything she wears is something I would wear. Or I've actually worn something similar to it. :) My head population has actually increased. I think Molly is about to crack. LOL I have a few dolls whose heads I swap in and out too. It can definitely pile up! I look forward to hearing from you on the blog in the future! Thank you again for stopping in and leaving a comment! Have a wonderful weekend! (^_^)Delete
very pretty blog page :-)ReplyDelete

Latina Bloggers React: We read, we write, we buy books
4 comments:
Great article! I think the issue goes beyond just dismissing Latino authors. The main character in my debut novel is Latina, and every single big house and agent turned it down. Just like you mentioned, a small house (out of Australia!) picked it up and now they've just offered for the second book in the series. It doesn't come out until May, so I have yet to see how it's received by readers.ReplyDelete
Love this article! I agree with you completely that Latinos are not snobby in their reading selections, but are avid readers who will read everything from comics to poetry alike. I especially love how your mother created books for you and your brother. What a special mother you have! And that you would go on to create a special gift like that for someone else's child is beautiful and fantastic.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for joining us and lending your voice to support the publishing and marketing of Latino (children's) literature.
Another obstacle is a general absence of chicana chicano latina latino recommendations in books sections. that's why people who want to learn about new titles come to La Bloga, the oldest established permanent anchored chicanarte literary blog in the world. can do, some say this blog can do. ( http://labloga.blogspot.com )ReplyDeleteReplies
You're right, Em. La Bloga performs a really valuable service. There should be more sites that consistently review Latino work.Delete

(The story starts here: http://joel-rees-economics.blogspot.jp/2016/06/econ101-novel-ch000-excuses.html.)
This attempt to build a simplified model for talking about the basics of economics has been my most sustained effort at coherent non-engineering rhetoric to date.
(I am not making any big claims here. My previous best would probably also be found somewhere among the rants in my free-is-not-free
The previous chapter, about Bobbie and Karel preparing for the long haul (http://joel-rees-economics.blogspot.com/2016/06/econ101-novel-ch180-preparing-for-long-haul.html), is the closest I have come in this novel to outlining the interactions in the simplified model. It also appears to be the least interesting chapter so far. I suppose, now that I think about this as a novel, the model I'm trying to develop should be lacking in all that makes a novel interesting.
(But please read the previous chapter if you haven't. It won't kill you. And I think it's pretty easy reading, too, in spite of my sloppy writing.)
I mean, I'm attempting to create a model of economic interactions, and I'm asking you to buy this model as a novel. (Or at least read it as a novel, even if you don't buy it.)
A simplified model, a mathematical reduction.
I'm asking you, the reader, to be interested in mathematics, well, at least interested in my feeble efforts to explain mathematics.
So, I suppose I should at least give a hint of a more explicit version of the model I'm trying to develop.
I had intended chapter 20 to be where the story shifts to the model and stays within it. But I'm finding that the supporting story is calling me, clamoring for attention.
(I am even actually writing chapters 010 through 099, which I had originally intended to leave to your imagination. But I may publish those as a separate novel, so I can do them justice. Then again, I'm not sure those chapters will be all that much more exciting than the last chapter.)
So, my chapter numbering scheme was too rigid, and the model itself is getting mixed into the narrative. I'm wandering.
Okay, okay, the model:
Some models of particle physics theorize something called an "exchange particle" that that provides the "magic" for physical interaction. Static electricity is not really an example, but it my help show the idea.
You have a molecule of hair protein in a hair, and a molecule of rubber in a balloon. Well, you have lots of molecules, but let's focus on one of each.
The balloon rubs the hair and an electron (or maybe more than one) migrates between the hair molecule and the rubber molecule, and a small attractive force is produced. (I forget which direction the electron migrates. ;-> )
Anyway, with lots of hair molecules in a hair (and lots of hair on a head, if you are not balding like I am), and lots of rubber in a balloon, lots of electrons move from the hair to the balloon, and the balloon sticks to the hair. (Or, looking at it relativistically, the hair sticks to the balloon. Oh. That's not just relativistic.)
Here we are in this story, rubbing, if you will pardon the expression, two large particles together -- Karel and Bobbie. That is, we are putting them in close contact and friction results.
As a result of the friction, they exchange value particles -- words and work that they share.
There is no need for money here. (In fact, any proxy for value will get in the way in this simple model, which is something I'll try to talk about once I can focus more on the model, but you may be too bored to continue reading by then. :-< )
Value is not nearly as measurable as an electron, but its influence is just as recognizable.
And the exchange of value results in repelling forces and attracting forces.
(Repelling forces -- that would be shown pretty well in the chapter before last: http://joel-rees-economics.blogspot.com/2016/06/econ101-novel-ch170-taking-rest.html.)
Okay, hopefully, that is enough of a hint of a model for the moment. We need to find out what their professor and their parents are doing: http://joel-rees-economics.blogspot.com/2016/06/econ101-novel-ch200-on-a-hunch.html.
The table of contents can be found here:

I've always been pretty easy on Facebook, letting people share what they want to share and be responsible for the information they post online. People know what they're posting, and they can be reasonably held accountable for it. I have a few friends – mostly women who've had stalkers in their past – change their name on the profile to hide from unwanted attention seekers. Men will apparently do anything to jump at a girl they think is cute, so I don't blame them. I have a soft spot in my heart for their situation, since they're pretty powerless against some creep who will do anything in his power to track her down.
Well, my defending of Facebook privacy just ended a half-hour ago. I just found a link to my entire phone book in Facebook and EVERY person who has put their phone number on facebook. Let me repeat that. If you've put your phone number in facebook (which is used to verify that your account isn't fake), and you have EVER given me your number, I can now find your Facebook profile. I have numbers from women I've met ONCE and gotten their number, and now I can see their names and any other information on Facebook. Before I say anything else about this, anyone from Facebook reading this, DISABLE THIS IMMEDIATELY. This is completely unacceptable and borders on the worst habits you would expect from cops overstepping their bounds (which doesn't happen too often – I'm quick to defend officers, as well). To give a step-by-step account of why this is a violation on way too personal a level: If I never gave Facebook my phone number, I'd have to fill in CAPTCHA's (the box where I have the read the screwed up letters and type them in) a bunch of times when doing common facebook activities. So, I gave them my phone number. Then, I installed Facebook for my smartphone. I didn't really care at the time, but they make you accept their access to your phone so they can send you background pictures of people who call you from their facebook profile pages.
Well, I've been able to go through my list of past phone contacts (even those I've deleted), and I've seen some names I hadn't seen before. Of these names, Facebook found about 30-50 people whose number I may have written down once and linked me to their profile, including their full name. For example, I found out that someone I put in my phone as "Jessi [Local Bar Name]" now lives in New York, is friends with a friend of mine, and works for a major retailer. If I was a creepy stalker, that girl could have now had 1) phone calls from me knowing her name, 2) questions from her friend about her or her job, 3) inquiries at her job…. The creepy list goes on. And women face this kind of creepy shit all the time. Facebook, don't give these people more avenues to harrass people that want to hide their personal lives from the world.
I found a perfect example – I met a girl at the pool in Vegas a few months ago, and we realized we don't like each other. Now, I know her full name! She never wanted to give me that. By giving me her phone number, she was able to screen my calls and control all the information she allowed me to know. Not anymore! Thank you, Facebook!
More examples, an ex-girlfriend I never want to see again who stopped taking my calls – found her. About 15 numbers (girls and guys) that I never got around to deleting have obviously changed. Unless my old drinking buddy Sean changed his name to Moesha and got a boob job. And I've never known anybody named Prettyboy K******.
Let's take this exercise in invading people's lives a step further. This means all I have to do is find out a person's number, put them in my phone, and on the next download, I can find their Facebook profile? Seriously, Zuck?
I'll be honest, I've enjoyed Facebook, because I get to keep up on everybody I can't otherwise keep up with. Facebook has made high school reunions obsolete, allowed me to see pictures of my family without flying back to New Orleans, let me see my best friend's house and new kid in Austin, and all kinds of truly wonderful things. But these people volunteered ALL of this information. Please don't allow me to peek behind others' veil of privacy without their permission. It's disrespectful at least and harmful and dangerous at worst.
I'm not mentioning my phone type or the link to this "feature" / invasion of someone's life, for fear of stalkers tracking down my friends or yours.

As promised, more gorgeous photos from Heather and Colin's wedding in July 2012.
Their venue, the 13th century Tithe Barn nestled in the main garden of the The Barns Hotel, Bedford was an ideal backdrop to their lovely English wedding.
Table names from the Kidman collection (which matched their handmade wedding invitations and other items of their stationery) with Plum coloured satin ribbon bows, made a huge statement on the reception tables. Guests could clearly see the table that they were to be seating at.
Remember your wedding should be a reflection of the both of you. Chose names that mean alot to you.....the couple chose place names from around world.
Flowers coordinated beautifully with the Plum colour theme.
Thank you so much Heather and Colin for sharing photos from your wedding day.

We are pleased to offer our valued customers a fine dining menu that includes fresh seafood, local meats, pastas, house made sauces and seasonal vegetables. We also provide vegetarian and gluten free options.
