Let it Snow
We woke up this morning to an inch and a half of snow and I somehow convinced Tim that we should still participate in the Jingle Bell Run downtown. As I slogged through 3.1 miles of freezing wind, dodged icy patches, and generally pined for the warmth of my down comforter, I realized two things 1) I have a long way to go before I am in good enough shape to live out of a backpack for an extended period of time, and 2) I am so glad we decided to start off our trip in Aruba.
Currently in Oranjestad, it is a sunny 86 degrees. The average temperature in Aruba is 82 degrees with less than 20 inches of rainfall annually. We will be starting our adventure with a week at the Amsterdam Manor Resort. I can't think of a better way to kick off a trip around the world than snorkeling in crystal blue waters or sipping cocktails on a white sand beach at sunset. Just the thought is enough to keep me warm until this snow thaws ( or at least until the Resolution Run and Polar Bear Dip on New Years Day ).

Hello again,
After hearing a tonne of praise regarding BB creams I decided to buy one to test out how they worked for me. The one I chose is the Rimmel London "matte" BB Cream. It was inexpensive so I wasn't worried about it being an unsuccessful product for my skin as it wouldn't have been a substantial loss to me. It cost me £4 in an ASOS beauty sale. What a bargain.
To start with, the "SPF 15" attribute caught my eye as I knew it would be a product to use throughout the summer. This meant that I could still gain good coverage whilst protecting my skin from burning.
This product is absolutely wonderful! I have been using it instead of my usual foundation routine. I only need to apply a minimal amount to gain a full coverage without looking caking and overloading my face with products. It isn't pleasant to wear endless amounts of products on my skin as it makes me feel hot and flustered. When I wear it I feel like my face is being moisturised and my skin has definitely improved. Without this product I would have had such dry skin; I'm so thankful that I invested in it. On top of this, I do not need to apply more throughout the day. I know that as soon I apply the product in the morning, I don't have to worry about it until taking it off before bed.
The only negative side to this product is the runny consistency. I find that the cream leaks all over the lid and can become a mess easily.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone; I feel like this bargain has saved me from splashing out unnecessarily on a high-end BB Cream. I will definitely repurchase.
Thanks for reading!
I'd love to hear your makeup recommendations…

NFL player's missing boat with 4 men on board off Florida's Gulf coast.
West Palm Beach, FL (JusticeNewsFlash.com)–A 21 foot boat, owned by Corey Smith, Defensive End for the Detroit Lions, was been reported missing by his sports agent Ron Del Duca, late Saturday as reported by the Associated Press (AP). The boat was launched at Clearwater Pass early Saturday for a fishing trip with 4 men onboard. When the fishing party consisting of Corey Smith, Marquis Cooper, Nick Skyler and William Bleakley failed to return, Del Duca reported the missing vessel to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Cooper, linebacker for the Oakland Raiders, Smith, Sklyer, and Bleakley were due back on shore Saturday night. When the four man fishing party didn't come ashore, Del Duca consulted with the Coast Guard and a search began about 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning. Seas in the Gulf Coast have been rough and choppy since a weather front blew in Saturday afternoon. The Coast Guard is searching a 750 mile square area for the boat.
Late this afternoon the U.S. Coast Guard reportedly found an overturned boat off Florida's Gulf Coast with a person clinging to the side. No information regarding the boat, occupant or owner has been provided in connection with the missing NFL player's boat.

Many water treatment facilities throughout the world – perhaps the majority of them – use chlorine as the primary disinfectant for drinking water. This poison kills bacteria and parasites that are harmful to human beings at concentrations that are said to cause minimal damage to humans. Other such contaminants are monitored and kept at levels believed safe for human consumption, but what about our four-footed companions?
Cats have a smaller body mass than humans, even in infancy, and the concentration of chlorine in drinking water can often be much higher than is healthy for them. While chlorine can dissipate after a certain amount of time in open air, it is not guaranteed that it is all removed before our feline companions consume it, and chlorine is especially harmful to pets and people who have glandular imbalances, aggravating allergies and dry coats. This is why cats (and other pets) with compromised immune systems are especially at risk for damage from residual chemicals and trace elements, and they should be given only filtered water to prevent further complications and maintain health.
Some water treatment plants now use chloramine in an attempt to combat the production of the possibly carcinogenic THM's but this seems to have an even more toxic effect on pets than chlorine does. While both are deadly to fish for obvious reasons, one should not discount the effect chloramine, which is a combination of two poisons: chlorine and ammonia, has on our feline friends.
Small animals, especially cats can be more sensitive to chemicals and other contaminants that may be in tap water than humans, or even dogs can. Fluoride is still added to tap water in many cities as a tool to combat tooth decay in humans, but is harmful to cats (and dogs) as this can be found in certain foods that your pet may be eating (any food that has chicken meal, lamb meal etc. that often contain ground bone which is the source of this excess fluoride) and this can cause fluoride poisoning which damages bones and teeth. Cats require a small amount of fluoride in their diets, just as humans require copper, but it is easily overdone when it is found in everything the cat consumes. Help reduce the risk of fluoride poisoning by giving your cat filtered drinking water.
Another alarming thing found in drinking water are endocrine disruptors. These can appear as residuals from pesticides or in the form of xenohormones (compounds which show hormone like properties in living organisms) which are not tested for in drinking water treatment facilities. Bisphenol A or BPA is a known endocrine disruptor which is found in plastics, dental materials and receipt paper which is why pet owners are advised to not use plastic dishes for their pet's water (or food) as it can leach into the contents. Use only glass, ceramic or stainless steel dishes for feeding and watering your cat. These chemical by-products can cause chronic colitis, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, metabolic and hormonal imbalances, thyroid problems and disorders of the pancreas and adrenal glands. Other problems can include infections of the ears and urinary tract.
Beyond safeguarding your cat from contaminants, pure filtered water can assist in your cat's digestion, help eliminate toxins and improve coat quality and overall health. So don't put your cat's health at risk – or any other pets for that matter. A reverse osmosis water filtration system can remove the majority of contaminants from your drinking water and make it safe not only for you, but for your more sensitive feline family members. You can be sure that they will be purr-fectly grateful!
To protect your cat completely from what might be in your tap water, you should choose an Aquasafe Home Reverse Osmosis System. An Aquasafe Home Reverse Osmosis system will remove all contaminants from water, including THM's and HAA's, producing guaranteed safe water you can count on every time. And it's only a few cents per liter! Shop online and save today.

- Coffee: If you take two to three Cups of coffee a day it will help you in keeping your liver healthy. It will help in balancing the Alcohol effects upon your liver. Some data also suggest that it will help in the prevention of Liver cancer as well.
- Too much sugar: In the simplest form, what your liver does in your body is that it covers the extra sugar into fat. If you overload your liver with this, it will be effected in an ill way. So, avoid the extra sugar intake to keep your liver healthy.
- Green Tea: Natural teas have the amazing benefits of keeping your liver healthy and green tea is on the top of the list. The healthy effects of green tea on your liver is due to the presence of Catechin, a strong and potent anti- oxidant that prevents the free radicals damage to your liver.

My mother used to make miniature dough roses when I was a child, using flour and Elmer's glue if I recall . She was an artist at heart. I decided to try my hand at making a bacon rose "for the bacon contest" using my mom's dough rose method. They turned out better than I had expected. These roses could be a unique thing to do this time of year with Easter, Mother's day, and summer just around the corner. I am not an artist, although I am creative. I rely on methods like these when I can't draw or shape things like roses. So if you are like I am, this instructable might interest you. Follow through and I will show you how to make a beautiful bacon rose potato to use as a garnish or side dish.

Any study of a historical musical period must account for relevant information regarding the intellectual and artistical background as well as social institutions: it is quite often that this context is divorced from the subject at hand. Consequently, students of music are presented with an inaccurate account of the reasons underlying most musical institutions and developments they aspire to contemplate, with music history often treated as an abstract entity unto itself. As in any discipline, there are logical reasons why certain circumstances arose, resulting in significant repercussions. When a socio-musical connection can be made, the resulting association is usually quite inciteful.
When considering the medieval era, one is faced with a problem dealing with the great length of time that has occurred since the end of its era as well as its broad encompassing timespan. When taking into account musical developments, scholars have been beset by numerous problems: one of the larger has been explaining the scanty, heavily biased evidence which has survived. Only when musicologists begin to consult the findings of other disciplines to support or recant their own, will some of the misconceptions and misunderstandings of Medieval Music begin to disappear. So that an introduction of Medieval institutions can be achieved,the following condensed generalizations recant the historical background of Medieval Europe from the end of the Roman Empire forward thru the growth, spread and influence of Christianity and Islam, including the formation and disintegration of the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasty, concluding with the Clunaic reform as well as a consideration of Feudalism.
Modern European civilization undoubtedly grew from the vestiges of the Roman Empire. While Roman sculpture and architecture was based upon Greek models, manuscripts of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were unavailable to the Romans. Greek civilization had a greater influence upon the Renaissance than the Medieval, and shall be summarily dismissed. The Romans' influences were numerous, including political institutions and concepts, art-forms and architecture. Many Roman forms, such as their language, were assimilated into other cultures as the transition to Modern Western European civilization was made during the Medieval.
While the Romans prospered at first, by the first century A.D. emerging symptoms of decay such as inflation and political instability caused internal warfare, foreshadowing events which transpired during the next few centuries. With so much internal strife occurring, nomadic tribespeople of northern Europe and western Asia created pressures upon the open frontiers of the empire as they sought to gain control. During the brief reign of Aurelian, stability was momentarily achieved enabling the Romans to regain some of their former holdings.
During this time Christianity was practiced as an underground faith, with religious ceremonies commonly held at night in secret, as it was unsuccessfully suppressed by the Romans. As the religion grew, Christianity significantly advanced as to become tolerated during the reign of Diocletian (284- 305). It remained for Theodosius (379-395) to decree Christianity to be the compulsory religion for all citizens except for Jews. Men of social and political prominence were quick to take advantage of the Church as they became members of the clergy. As the Church attained extensive propertyholdings, it acquired wealth and power, with its ecclesiastical government modeled from the territorial organization of the Empire. Thus the central authoritative institution was well established before the final disintegration of the Roman Empire, becoming the sole stable element in Europe for the next millennium.
With the split of the Empire in the fifth century and the founding of the Eastern's capital at Constantinople, the Roman Empire rapidly disintegrated. The Byzantine Empire, able to maintain its political integrity, retained cultural and intellectual traditions destroyed in the West, significantly contributing to the rebuilding of Western civilization which occurred later. With the Huns, Visigoths and Ostrogoths, Vandals and others all fighting for control, the weaker forces were forced to retreat and reorganize into Roman territory. A shortage of Roman troops forced the government to hire northern mercenaries, enabling them to become citizens and gain high administrative positions. During the reign of the incompetent Honorius (395-423), the Visigoths subdued Roman, leaving the frontiers open to warfare and more invasion. The Eastern Emperor Zeno, whose only authority in the West was due to Honorius's abdication, resolved the instability by sending the Ostrogothic prince Theodoric to recapture Italy in the hopes that he might be killed in the process. However, Theodoric was successful, and ruled as a king of Italy from 493-526.
Meanwhile, the Merovingian Clovis became leader of the Franks after removing all rivals including the Alamans, Burgundians and Visigoths, establishing the Frankish dynasty of Merovingian kings. The boundaries of the Frankish empire were extended westward to the Pyrennes and eastward beyond the Rhine, where the Franks were held in abeyance by Theodoric. These events determined the prevailing social and political conditions of the next several centuries, including the assimilation of Roman and Germanic elements at the expense of civilization which had already been declining. Christianity spread along with the persisting Roman influence, as Germanic peoples abandoned their languages in favor of bastardized Latin as spoken by invaded peoples. These "Romance languages" survived, with the areas where these languages are still spoken corresponding to the most "latinized" portions of Western Europe. New social classes evolved: the aristocracy, based upon their military strength and property holdings; and the peasants, emerging from lower social classes, who were exploited by the aristocracy, ensuring the survival of both types.
During the sixth century the Franks became the most powerful people in West Europe. When other kingdoms weakened the Eastern Emperor Justinian attempted to reconquer the West. Recapturing Italy and Spain led to the exhaustion of the Western Empire and the total destruction of civilization, enabling the Lombards to invade Italy in 568, creating numerous petty states which survived until the late 1800's. The vacuum enabled the papacy to become the sole central administrative authority. The Popes became the political leaders of Rome, holding no interest in the Empire's restoration. The Petrine theory of papal supremacy, disputed in the East, held that the Bishop of Rome was the supreme authority of Christendom. Finally, Pope Gregory the Great (590-604) established the independence of the Western Church.
The creation, rise, and spread of Islamic religious fervor in the seventh century encouraged Arabs to invade other lands under the auspices of the Holy War of Islam (Jihad). Within a century the Moslems controlled Persia, Afghanistan and northern Africa, and in 655 destroyed the Western Imperial fleet, bringing the Mediterranean under Islamic control. Along with territorial expansion, the imposition of a new culture and religion created great civilization, firmly establishing Islam as a major religion. The Moors, after their defeat by the Moslems, invaded Iberia, defeated the Visigoths, and soon held almost the entire peninsula. Their raids into Gaul were checked by Charlemagne's grandfather Charles Martel in 732. While the Moslems briefly held Rome in 846, they were finally expelled in the early 900's.
Despite their common language, culture and civilization, the Islamic world was unable to maintain political or religious unity. However, the contact between Islam and the accumulated knowledge of earlier civilizations greatly benefitted Europe. Many Greek documents were first known in Latin through Arabic translations. In Baghdad, where Greek manuscripts were housed, translated, and studied, contact with Oriental cultures was established via the trade routes to India and China. The development of mathematics has been made possible through adoption of the Arabic numeral system. In addition, significant contributions in architecture, specifically the principles of the arch and the dome, have been in use in Western buildings since their introduction by the Arabs. Musically, the rich contributions of the Islamic world are immeasurable, drawing upon a rich heritage which is shared with southern Asia and Northern Africa. Arabs credit themselves with the invention of measured notation and polyphony.
Meanwhile, in Europe, the aristocracy had degenerated into warlord landholders who waged war for pleasure and profit. Coupled with the ignorance of the peasantry, superstition bred irrationality, with hundreds of people being executed as witches during the 7th and 8th centuries. The Church was eager to eradicate earlier pagan religions and maintain control. While the Church maintained a perfunctory amount of intellectual activity, serving to promote the true faith, true "Classical" learning was forgotten. The spread of papal influence and control went unchecked until the reign of King Charlemagne and the "Carolingian Renaissance," the first rebuilding steps of culture.
The Carolingian dynasty reached its height under Pepin's son Charlemagne, who allied with the Papacy, conquered/Christianized the Lombards, Saxons, Bavarians and Avars, creating a series of military districts to organize his holdings along his Empire's Eastern frontier from the Baltic to the Adriatic. Charlemagne, while able to maintain control of a vast empire, was still not able to expel the Moslems from Spain. In 799, an insurrection in Rome forced Pope Leo III to take refuge with Charlemagne. Charlemagne attacked Rome, reinstated the Pope and was proclaimed Emperor of the Romans. Charlemagne then created a jurisdiction superceding that of the papacy, which was quite beneficial for him but created problems for his successors.
Once the empire was stabilized, Charlemagne, aware of the need to educate the ruling class and improve the educational system, founded a school at Aix-la-Chapelle founded on the traditional liberal arts (trivium and quadrivium) with Alcuin (735-804) as its director. Unfortunately, only grammar was studied with any degree of thoroughness, since science and Greek philosophy were yet unknown, and mathematics, based on Roman numerals, was impractical. Since the study of music originated with the study of interval ratios, the discipline was placed in the scientific quadrivium. Sounds related to numbers: numbers and proportions were considered to regulate the universe. While performers and composers were considered removed from the intellectual aspects of music, they continued to evolve new types: only the "educated" who possessed "reason" were considered to be musicians. Available to Carolingian scholars were the works of Boethius (philosophical speculations on the nature of music and its effects/relations to the world of humans), Cassiodorus and Alcuin. Contemporaneous with the school at Aix-la-Chapelle, was the institution of the monastery, where literature, liturgy and musical manuscripts were transcribed or translated by scribes, who developed the Carolingian miniscule which evolved into modern styles of handwriting. While few contributions were made by these scholars, a new interest in learning generated a renewal of Latin education.
Charlemagne's son, Louis the Pious (814-840), though well educated, was unable to deal with the stress caused by managing an empire which was now besought by multiple invasions of the barbarous kind. Upon his death, Charlemagne's policy of splitting the landholdings equally among the male heirs backfired: upon successive inheritances the estates would soon dwindle to insignificance. The Carolingian Empire was split amongst Louis' three sons, creating a rivalry which was resolved in Verdun (843) with Lothair, King of Italy, becoming Emperor. The East and West chunks eventually developed into France and Germany. The Magyars (Hungarians) invaded Europe, enabling the complete collapse of the Carolingian Empire. The remaining Dukes or Barons of the provincial districts which Charlemagne created ruled as equal and independent sovereigns, reducing Europe into warring feudal states. The collapse of military strength produced a rapid decline in papal authority, producing a series of weak corrupt popes who brought the papacy a low state of degradation, leaving 10th C Europe in a state of chaos.
In the latter ninth century Europe was besieged with invasions from the Vikings, or Norsemen (Normans). The Vikings soon conquered Britain, Ireland, and the inner regions of Europe, besieging Paris in 886. With no regard for the Church, monasteries were an easy target for plundering. The Normans settled in England and Northern France (Normandy), adopting the culture of the lands they controlled. In the eleventh century, the Normans settled in south Italy and Sicily, exploiting England and Western Europe (William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy in 1066). Vikings from Sweden invaded East Europe from Kiev to the Black Sea. This created a threat to the Byzantines, who called them Rhos (Russians), but their conversion to Christianity maintained the dominance of Byzantine culture.
A reformation of the papacy at Clury in 910 enabled the Church to be revitalized, with a reconstruction of the civilization corresponding with the rise of Papal authority. A new wave of religious frenzy swept Europe during the Clunaic reform, which grew under emperor Henry III (1039-1056). A renewal of Christian ideals brought about many great monuments of art, but the witch-hunts for heretics, scapegoats and undesirables began anew.
The major institution of this time besides the Church was the system known as Feudalism, which was originated by Charlemagne as a way to control his holdings. Feudalism was a manorial system which supported an agrarian society, providing the people with protection and a livelihood. The only change from Charlemagne's time was the policy of inheritance among the sons of the aristocrats, modified to enable the eldest son to inherit the estate. Feudalization of the Church led to the weakening of central organization, producing constant warfare. The aristocrats benefitted from the feudalist system: it provided them with profit and a livelihood, proving the feudalist system worked well for aris- tocrats and peasants alike. Fortunately for the aristocracy, someone realized that if the warfare continued, they would probably get invaded again, so they decided to join forces and go fight the Moslems, kicking the Moors out of Spain in 1492. These wars were known as the Crusades. One benefit of Feudalism was that the protective courts and castles attracted a lot of people, and when they weren't busy getting attacked, these settlements became centers for the cultivation of literature, music, and other secular interests.
While the above account is admittedly brief, a basic explanation of events brings into context a significantly lengthy period of time in which many developments and changes transpired. Given the amount of instability of the period when taking into account all aspects, one can get a feeling for the time by imagining what it must have been like to have lived then. Whatever station of life, life was a game of survival, where survival of the fittest was the law. The only way out was to drop out, tune in, shave your head weird, become a monk or nun, live a life of solitude and meditation, memorize your church modes (becoming able to improvise melissmas between the neumes), and write secular songs extolling the virtuous pleasures of sex!

Given that I work with over 200 flower essences, it is easy to get confused about what they all mean. It makes life simpler when I can group essences into "families" with common themes and energies. These families of flowers have certain ideas that pertain to all of them, but each flower also has its own individual significance within the larger picture.
There are 5 remedies in the Bach and FES repertoires that make up the Mimulus family. The common theme in this family is the notion of fear and anxiety vs. courage. This can be viewed as a wide spectrum of personality traits from fear to courage. We commonly think of fear as a "negative" trait and courage as "positive", but I think those terms are very misleading. What is important is whether these traits are in balance. Fear is a normal and even necessary part of our psyches. It keeps us out of danger and minimizes foolish mistakes. Unbalanced fear, on the other hand, leads to paralysis and stagnation in life, which cuts us off from the vitality of our souls and the life force. Similarly, courage is a normal aspect of our psyches -- it helps us to take risks and break out of ruts. Unbalanced courage leads to foolish recklessness. The healthy part of the spectrum is where these traits are in balance, not any of the extremes.
However, each of these 5 flowers has its own unique story to tell. These differences reflect the way the life force works in plants and people as described by the Doctrine of Signatures. This doctrine says the plant itself is telling us what its medicinal properties are, if we know how to listen properly.
The first member of this family is the Bach remedy called Mimulus; the 4 FES remedies are called Monkeyflowers. Mimulus was first used by Dr. Bach for fears of a known origin or about everyday matters. Concerns about how to get through each day and whether you can "make it" are the realm of Mimulus. (Unknown or vague fears are more an Aspen theme.) If this anxiety gets out of control, the person withdraws from life and shrinks from achieving their full potential. This anxiety often affects the solar plexus chakra, the seat of willpower and the "fire in the belly". This can be felt physically as a queasy or knotted stomach, perhaps even digestive problems. The essence from these yellow flowers (yellow symbolizes the solar plexus energy) helps balance fear with courage so you can approach life with confidence and vitality.
Scarlet Monkeyflower, obviously, has red flowers. Red is the color of the root chakra, the seat of our survival instincts and the energy of being incarnated in a physical body. The emotions connected with these instincts (the so-called "base feelings"), especially anger, are very powerful and threatening. The tendency among "proper folk" is to distance ourselves from these overwhelming emotions and banish them to our shadow sides (the "dark side" of the psyche). The Scarlet Monkeyflower person is so afraid of expressing these feelings, he bottles them up inside. Of course, stifling emotions only makes them stronger and more fearsome -- repressed anger bursts out as blind rage. The remedy gives a person the courage to face these shadow feelings and give them a natural place in life. By acknowledging the motivating role of healthy anger, for instance, these fearsome emotions lose their fangs.
Sticky Monkeyflower's orange blossoms refer to the second chakra. This energy center is the drive to intimacy and relationship, especially in the form of sexuality. For a Sticky Monkeyflower person, the fear of opeining up to another person emotionally and sexually causes them to withdraw into isolation or casual affairs. The awesome, soul-changing experience of true intimacy is simply avoided. This flower helps these people to be fully open and present with another. Sexuality is no longer so threatening and the courage to explore the spiritual dimensions of sexual intimacy replaces the fear.
The blossoms of Pink Monkeyflower work on the heart center. There is a fear of intimacy here (without the sexual overtones) based on deep-seated shame. The person feels hopelessly unworthy or wounded inside and is afraid others will see "how terrible I am" if they get too close. They recoil from intimacy because they don't want to feel exposed to others. There is often a "dirty little secret" in their past that they feel must be hidden. Pink Monkeyflower tells such a person "welcome back to the human race" and gives them the courage to be themselves. It helps them understand people will accept them just the way they are. It lets them open their hearts to others.
Purple Monkeyflower (introduced recently by FES) relates to the upper spiritual centers, especially the crown chakra. Frequently, experiences of the higher realms can be frightening or disorienting; there's often resistance when these experiences contradict traditional religious teachings. This flower addresses the fears and concerns encountered along the spiritual growth process itself. This is perhaps the ultimate opening up a person can achieve, making a connection with the Infinite. It is just as threatening as sexual intimacy, in its own way; the temptation to hold back is strong. Purple Monkeyflower gives the courage to follow your path, wherever it may lead. It helps you embrace living life as a spiritual being in a calm, balanced way. I suspect this remedy will become increasingly popular as more people open up to higher states of consciousness.
These essences in the Mimulus family are exciting tools for enhancing your life. Don't be afraid to try them!

"Wonderful getaway spot with an Incredible View!!"
Haley T. - Jul 14, 2017
"This is such an amazing, peaceful place. It was a perfect retreat for my husband and I after dropping our kids off at camp. The view was absolutely incredible, and the inside was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. We loved the hot tub on the porch too! We felt like we were on our own private mountain top because when on the porch we couldn't see the neighboring cabin or hear anything. The majority of the time, we hung out on the porch enjoying the view, but we did take a nice walk up the road to enjoy more views and had dinner one night down in Eureka Springs. It's an easy drive into Eureka Springs and easy access to grocery stores, but far enough away to feel like a peaceful retreat. We will definitely stay again."
Jun 16, 2017

It was very nice sitting in the hot tub at night looking at the stars and seeing the shadows of the mountain by the light if the moon. It was incredible use of space; making it seem much larger than it actually is. The fireplace was very nice. The hostess was very helpful and nice. Eureka Springs is a very nice city.

"Perfect Getaway, Idyllic Setting"
Monty and Rochelle S. - Jun 13, 2017

The cabin was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. We even had Wi-Fi and satellite TV with movie channels. There are lots of things to do in Eureka Springs, and we did seek them out, but to be honest, we enjoyed our time at the cabin more than anything."

"A well appointed mountain cabin"

"This property had everything we needed. Near the attractions, plenty of outdoops to see, and the view was spectacular. Lots of room for our family of 5. Carla was very pleasant in all her communications."
Jul 12, 2016
"Even better in person!"
Jeff - Jul 31, 2017
"I brought my family of 5 to this wonderful cabin and it was great. We have done this several times before in Arkansas and I must say that this cabin was even better in person than in the photos. The views are great both outside on the porches as well as inside in both the living room and the family room downstairs. Carla is great. We had a minor problem and she was over in 5 minutes to get it straightened out. The river is wonderful and definitely not as crowded as some other parts of the White River. Even though there are several cabins that they manage in the area, you still feel rather secluded and not on top of each other. Also, as an added bonus, they just added a hot tub on the lower deck. This is a great finishing touch to complement the views. We will definitely stay again soon!"
Jul 22, 2017
"This place is beautiful. Lots to do or just sitting on the porch and watching the sunset."
Jeff N. - Apr 20, 2016
"Great location close to everything but not to right on top of other people. Nice place to have some quite time or go out for the night life. Carla was great about getting us everything we needed for this trip and explaining what we needed to do. Made it very easy."
Apr 14, 2016
"Amazing Veiw! Very relaxing and cozy!!"
Natalie A. - Sep 11, 2017

Sep 7, 2017
Jenny J. - Jul 21, 2016
"The pictures do not do it justice!!! The views are beautiful and it's very quite. Thanks for the memories!! Jenny, Josh and Eli!"
Jul 17, 2016
"Cozy & beautiful."
Kaitlynn S. - Mar 31, 2016
"The cabin is adorable, the beds are extremely comfortable, the hot tub is fantastic, and the view is amazing. Everything was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the owner was friendly and didn't bother us. A group of friends and I stayed in the cabin during our spring break and we absolutely loved it. Eureka Springs is a neat little historical area that is worth checking out. Would highly recommend."
Mar 22, 2016
"Stunning View!"
Patricia H. - Aug 16, 2017
"The cabin is located overlooking the White River. Great location on a quiet road - 10 minutes from Historic Eureka Springs. We definitely will be returning!"
Aug 9, 2017
"The cabin is as lovely as it appears in the listing"
Ginger B. - Jun 9, 2017
"The cabin was everything it promised in the listing. We appreciated all the extras provided that we didn't have to drag with us. The views were amazing. I would stay here again."
May 31, 2017
"We had such a wonderful time at Minnow Bucket. This was a very cozy location perfect for celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon or just a romantic getaway! We loved how warm the cabin was when we arrived, with firewood, a jacuzzi tub and extra blankets. We loved spending our mornings drinking coffee and tea on the back porch and watching the cute little trainboard of a town below. It was such a beautiful place tucked away in the hills yet only 15 minutes away from downtown Eureka Springs. We will definitely be staying here again next time we visit Eureka Springs!"
Nov 10, 2016
"We stayed in Blue Suede Views last month for our anniversary and it was wonderful. Such a peaceful place with all the luxuries of a nice hotel."
Kenny and Linda M.
"Absolutely perfect. Everyone that is involved with making sure that your stay from reservations, all the way to chef Anna, and even around check out was perfect. Suite was clean, and provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The view was breathtaking. There is no reason to keep looking can u canoe is the best place to stay around!"

It has been over two thousand days since I last dipped my feet into formal education, when I completed a post graduate diploma in journalism back in 2007. Since then, however, my journey of education has never stopped. So really, every day feels a bit like Day 1.
In the space between then and now I have tried my hand at many posts: everything from public relations to treading the boards, and even being at the sharp end of foreign relations for a spell. I've traveled the world, taken countless photographs, made many new friends, and thankfully encountered little personal sorrow.
This blog will hopefully serve as a record of my continuing journey. Now working with an education company (Full Disclosure: TSL Education), who provide teaching resources and forums for teachers to share ideas with each other. The plan is to next year start a PGSE and join the ranks of the teachers I've admired for so many years.
Until then I shall participate where I can, learn everything I can, and smile – whenever I can.

Edwin, yes Edwin, found this website; Simple Pop-Up's. They're little cards you can make with different pop up's when you open them. We may have the kids make some christmas cards this way! It looked rather complicated to me, but Edwin tried it out tonight with the kiddo's! Not only did he brave a craft with the kids, but he's sick! Now, its only a matter of time before all the kids get sick, considering Edwin and I are both under the weather! Hopefully they wont be sick for thanksgiving break.

Scotts LawnService Franchise: We serve a definite purpose.
The multi-billion dollar lawn service industry is highly fragmented, however, without a clearly identified premium service company. Most larger lawn service providers are price oriented and build their business around high volume and high production. They are unable to give their customers the individual attention they would like, and they are unable to concern themselves with quality. The smaller independent services are without strong brand identification and struggle to compete as they are forced to make companies remain competitive.
As a result, there is a vast market of homeowners who are unable to find a service that meets their needs. Those needs include the use of quality, effective branded lawn products, applied by true professionals, in programs that can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual lawn, with applications made on time, and with the technical support to solve virtually any lawn problems that may arise.
Many reasons, one conclusion — they want Scotts LawnService!
Our customers come from a broad demographic range. There are some who would rather spend their spare time fishing or playing golf than caring for their lawn. There are families with two working parents who don't have the time to do lawn work. There are retirees and women who head single parent homes who are not comfortable doing it themselves. And there are folks who just don't know what to do or when to do it, so they need help.
Yet despite their many differences, these are all homeowners who recognize that a thick, green lawn enhances the beauty of their home and improves the quality of their family's hours together-not to mention the value that it adds to their home. So they want the best. They want Scotts!
Industry's Top Brand Awareness
We are part of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Company of Brands and no brand in the industry has the name recognition that Scotts has. Customers trust the Scotts name and as a franchise you benefit from that trust.
On-Going Support
As a franchisee, you have access to the brain trust at Scotts LawnService. Our Corporate Team here at Scotts LawnService have over a hundreds years of collective experience that you can tap into if you ever have a problem.
Marketing Expertise
As a franchisee you benefit from experience of a national marketing team. Each marketing strategy that we promote has been thoroughly tested at our corporate locations and unless the initiative has been proven in a successful roll-out it is not used by our franchisees.
Easy Pay Terms On Products
We understand how cash flow affects a start-up business. Our Easy Pay Terms make it easier for you to generate business months before you pay for the product that we have sent you.
Your Franchise Can Start As A Home Based Business
Many of our franchisees have started out as a home based business. Based on the laws of your state, starting out as a home based business will allow you to maintain a higher margin in the first few years of operation. You will need a location to store your products. Our team will help you determine the size of the space necessary to store your product.
Financing on Franchise Fee For Qualified Candidates
Scotts provides financing on up to 2/3 of your franchisee fee if you qualify. Favorable terms are offered over the first 24 months to generate cash flow. In addition, capital not spent on the initial franchise fee will allow you to market and promote your business providing you a fast start.
So, do you want to learn more?

Little Ray of Sunshine
Apparently this bright shade is set to be the hottest color on the Summer '10 catwalks!
Not for the faint of heart, this hue can be worn in pastel, acidic or good old sunshine yellow :)
Save it for statement clutches & accessories for evening, but dont be afraid to work it as day wear, try H&M's pastel Yellow skinnies with a white tank, warm nautical cardigan & last yearrs Gladiater flats (check River Island NOW for some tribal styles, some with yellow stitching) when the sun finally decides to appear, or try a yellow bubble skirt with woolly tights and your best blazer to bring some light into your life during these dark dreary days!

The start of 2016 marks the final countdown until the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio.
We're therefore excited to announce we'll be running a unique 2-3 week 'one-off' programme this coming July 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, for aspiring social changers who are passionate about sport and community development.
The Rio 2016: Inspiration Programme will give participants the opportunity to see first-hand the sport and community development projects that are determined to create legacy and impact in 2016, and demonstrate how sport can be used to breakdown barriers and encourage positive social change in communities.
The programme will include:
- Visits to the sports development projects across Rio who are aiming to create the legacy of the games
- Workshops in social entrepreneurship, ideation, problem solving & 'how to start up a sport-for-good project', NGO/non-profit or social enterprise
- Learning about how the Rio 2016 Olympic Games are making a positive impact on Rio de Janeiro and Brazil
- Co-working space to develop your own ideas for social change back home
- Mentors and likeminded people to share skills and ideas with
- Playing sport with young people, marginalised groups and grassroots sports development NGOs & non-profits
- Experiencing the food, culture, dancing and grassroots sport loved by Brazilians and Cariocas!
Whilst there has been a lot of focus on whether Rio will be ready in time for the Games in August and whether the city's infrastructure will be able to support hosting one of the biggest sporting events in the world, legacy and impact are topics that will a lot more attention as the Games draw closer.
Sadly there have been many stories in the press around the human effected impact of the Games, such as forced evictions for people living in the favela communities situated near or on sites earmarked for Rio 2016 development. Preparations for the Games have also drawn attention to issues around pollution and waste, threatening Rio's proud reputation as the 'cidade maravilhosa' or the 'wonderful city'.
Whilst the social and environmental issues facing the city in the lead up to the Olympic Games are vast and complex it's not all doom and gloom – out of it has come vast inspiration for a range of sport and community development projects that set out to address these challenges head on.
Would you like to be involved & #JoinUs?
The Rio 2016: Inspiration programme will give participants the chance to connect with the very projects who are using sport and community development as a tool to engage and empower marginalised communities. These projects bring people together, and provoke social change both in yourselves and others.
Our new programme will also provide a platform for idea generation and career development for those who want to explore the possibility of setting up their own social project or business linked to sport or community development back home.
Interested applicants or those interested in sports for development, also have the opportunity to help co-design the programme with _SocialStarters by sharing their feedback on a quick survey. Deadline for the survey 30th January.
Alternatively confirm your expression of interest with the _Social Starters team now!
EXPRESS INTEREST by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com and putting INSPIRATION PROGRAMME in the subject heading. Recruitment opens for this incredible new programme on 1st February 2016. There will be only 6 places available and you will need to apply through our formal application process. More details, such as Programme Fee, to be provided once you express interest.

Farm to Fuel Grants AwardedJanuary 22nd, 2008 by Mike Vasilinda
12 entities across the state will share a 25 million dollar Farm to Fuel grant. The money is designed to turn Florida agricultural products into usable energy. The state goal is for agriculture to produce 25 percent of the states fuel by the year 2025. Agriculture Commissioner Charles Bronson says those who were chosen for the grants are investing nearly $157 million of their own resources into their renewable energy projects. He also says it will pay big dividends for agriculture in the future.
�It�s going to be creating new businesses that are going to, in this case, at full run, will create over 100,000 new, very well-paying jobs in the state of Florida for people to get into that industry" . Speaking to the Governor, Bronson said It�s going to create, in my opinion right now, Governor, if we get this going at full course within the next five years or so, that agriculture will out pace any other industry in this state because we�re going to be worth 100 billion dollars more than we are today in agriculture alone and what we can produce to make biofuel programs for the state of Florida.�
A total of 76 companies or organizations applied for the grants. This year the state budget is tight, but Governor Charlie Crist says the Farm to Fuel program may be too important to put on the chopping block.
�This is not a place to cut back. This is so important to Florida and for us to continue to be an innovative economy and have the opportunity to make sure that we�re moving in a direction that helps agriculture, helps our industry, keeps Florida clean, produces more energy, and basically does the right things for the future of our state.� said Crist.
The proposals were evaluated on including their use of Florida-grown crops or biomass to produce energy, and their potential to expand agribusiness in the state.

|The Legend of Korra
|United States
|52 (ongoing)
|Preceded By:
|Avatar: The Last Airbender
The Legend of Korra is a 2012 anime-style western animated series and a follow-up to Avatar: The Last Airbender. While the show maintains a steady flow of Chinese influence, as the original series had, it also combines some steampunk elements, including an industrialized setting.
Set 70 years from the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Korra is the Avatar directly proceding Aang and, unlike Aang, she faces her obstacles head-on and is shown to be very independent; albeit somewhat stubborn. After living and training in the Southern Water Tribe for several years, she boards a ship headed to Republic City in order to begin her airbending training with Tenzin, Aang's son. Meanwhile, an anti-bending revolt stirs in Republic City known as the Equalists, lead by the masked revolutionary, Amon, a charismatic strategist with the ability to remove a person's bending permanently.
Setting Edit
Republic City is an industrialized setting that serves as the capital of the United Republic, formed by Avatar Aang and Firelord Zuko to serve as a peaceful utopia where benders from all nations can coexist together. Republic City is inspired by that of 1920's Shanghai, combined with steampunk elements, including various technology, factories, warehouses, and gigantic airships. Republic City has also become a haven for crime and contains several criminal triads; the triads engage in turf wars often. In fact, characters in the series have lost loved-ones due to the amount of criminal activity throughout the city.
Steampunk ElementsEdit
As seen in the first episode, Republic City is shown to be an industrialized setting. The city houses many factories and warehouses, all producing various technologies to improve daily life. Hiroshi Sato developed the satomobile, a variation on the automobile, and the first to develop it into a viable technology for everyday use.
Hiroshi was later revealed to be an Equalist supporter, similar to how Henry Ford was an endorser of the Nazis, and housed a secret factory beneath the Sato mansion, unbeknownst to his daughter, Asami Sato. The factory contained various weaponry and advanced technology, particularly gigantic mechs, which were designed by Hiroshi himself, along with Equalist airships and biplanes. The Equalists sport circular goggles, which are common accessories in steampunk. They also possess electric gauntlets that are able to stun and paralyze a victim.
As corruption is often a key element in steampunk, Republic City is also ridden with crime and criminal triads that utilize their bending abilities to extort and abuse citizens, particularly non-benders. Overtime, Republic City graduated into a more corrupt setting, as the city's population grew. Councilman Tarrlok is also shown to be a very corrupt and manipulative politician.
The city's police force includes an elite unit of officers mostly made up of metalbenders, individuals that specialize in metalbending, a form of earthbending developed by Toph Bei Fong of the original series. The police also possess a wide variety of technology, including airships, which are used to monitor crime in the city, and metallic suits that contain spools that enable the wearer to grasp onto distant objects.
