Friday, January 18, 2013
A couple of days ago Jacquie and I went for a trek to Ikea to buy some drawer organisers and things to hold makeup brushes and generally just mess about in Ikea and eat meatballs (my first time!). I came home with a bunch of divider things that go in drawers, but rearranging all my makeup in those I decided I didn't like them and wanted something else (lucky they were cheap - I can use them in the kitchen for something). So instead I ordered some Keji document storage things from Officeworks - one with 5 small drawers, and one with 3 small drawers and a larger size drawer.
They arrived this morning, and I've spent some of today organising my stuff in them. I'm really happy with these - they were only $15 each. Bargain!
In this one I have single eyeshadows, sorted roughly by colour: green in top drawer, next blues and purples, then pinks and peaches, then browns, then random other neutrals and some odd colours that don't fit anywhere else (a yellow one I received as a freebie and so on).
This one has most of my other stuff - the top drawer is mascaras, gel eyeliners, lashes, eye primers and brow products. The second drawer has blush, the third face products like primers, foundations and concealers. The bottom larger drawer holds eyeshadow palettes and one stray primer that is too high for the other drawers.
I also tidied up some other stuff while I was there - I'm not overly thrilled with the nail polishes being in a basket all higgeldy piggeldy but I don't paint my nails all that often so it will do until I can be bothered working out something else. In the cups and little spice canisters are (from left) lip glosses, lip pencils, eye pencils, jumbo eye pencils.
I did use one of the drawer organisers to get some currently unused stuff out of the way - a couple of empty jars, some empty eyeshadow sample bags, and brushes I don't use much.
And I finally got around to labelling the top of all my perfume oils, as I keep them in a drawer in a darkish corner and it's a pain in the butt having to pull half of them out to find the one I want.
Not gonna lie, I'm feeling a bit proud of myself!

I love organising posts! So well organised you are! It makes me happy to see everything in place. Love your perfume bottle display :)ReplyDelete
I may have to get those drawers when we go to our new place.
You did an excellent job organising everything! These Keji document storage look perfect for make up! I am labelling the top of my perfume's oils too. Otherwise, is impossible to find what I want!ReplyDeleteReplies
It's such a pain, isn't it? I am always digging around pulling out bottle after bottle and I was in the newsagent the other day and spotted those little stickers behind the counter, and thought, "Right - time to finally do something about that annoyance!".Delete

Looks great Dee!ReplyDelete
I like the look of those Keji drawers. They look similar to the Mugi (sp?) drawers that are so popular. Do the drawers slide open and closed pretty easily?ReplyDelete
Getting things better organized is always a good feeling. I upgraded the drawers on the top of my desk from a 3-drawer Sterilite set (that has a flip-top compartment and a couple of open wells above the drawers) to a five drawer set, and it made a HUGE difference in the organization on my desk. Fewer floating bits and bobs and space on top of the drawers for things that have to be left out.
Organizing your makeup collection is one of the best feelings ever. I love the clear drawers!ReplyDelete
Awesome organization! I don´t have any makeup to organize, all my makeup fits into my small makeup bag. And I don´t have to lable my perfumes yet, I don´t have that many, but it looks really neat! But I really should lable my essential oils... I can´t find any neat round lables though, only rectangular ones, so that will have to do. :) And I really need to organize my craft supplies, they live in an old ice cream box and two plastic bags...ReplyDelete

I love this kind of posts, love how organised it all is!ReplyDelete
Oh looks great! I have those Officeworks organisers too - they are such a great cheap option!ReplyDelete

I was never really happy with my son's daycare provider, but I when I was looking for new daycare I settled on in home daycare that seemed ok. I needed new daycare fast and I was running out of options. Now only a few short months later I need t find new daycare again. My son has two bite marks on him and the daycare lady can't tell me how the bite marks got there and she leaves the TV on all day. I was so mad when I asked about the bite marks and found out she didn't know anything. She almost seemed to brush it off which made me even more mad. She also won't help potty train my son. He spends anywhere from 8 to 9 hours there and I need here to help if he is ever going to get potty trained. But she tried for like a day and gave up. I need someone to help me because even tho I would love to be a a stay at home mom, I can't. I hope to find another daycare soon. My son will not be going to daycare on Friday because just can't send him back there. I even cried twice today over sending my son to daycare. He actually told me he didn't want to go there and I really wish I hadn't sent him there today but didn't have another option so last minute.
I am going to make darn sure I love this new daycare before I decide to send my son there. I will ask all sorts of questions and make sure I love the place and my son will be safe and happy. I don't want to have to find new daycare again in a few months. So wish me luck.

2000 Diesel Cold-engine problems
Juuupa91 posted a topic in 1993-2002 (2L) I4Hey, Sorry for my english. I bought old 626 few months ago, no service book etc.. I have this problem: When i star the engine, when its cold (I live in Finland, so I mean -10C ->), it does not start well at all.. or it starts but engines rev-sound is VERY poor and it some time shut off the engine.. In nordic countrys/russia etc we use electric heaters, witch heat up block or coolant. The heater do not help. The problems stops, when the heat-meter starts to rise. I have serviced my car in Bosch/Denso-workshop. They adjusted the diesel-nozzles, and checked the glowplugs etc. After that they put transparent lines for fuel, but there were no airleaks. They said the final diagnose could be Diesel-injection pump, but the new one could cost too much, so they dont even bother to think about it more.. My dad said, it also could be egr. I try to clean the egr (can you help me with that?) and after that I could consider that pump. Do you have any other ideas?

Festival dates: July 7th and 8th, 2018
Location: 758 Niagara Stone Rd, Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON L0S 1J0, Canada
Timings: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Come and enjoy a weekend of everything lavender!
Organized every year by Niagara Essential Oils & Blends (NEOB) on their farm in Niagara-on-the-Lake, this year the festival will take place on July 7th and 8th 2018.
July is the time when the lavender fields are in full bloom and ready for harvest. Come and take a walk in the beautiful fields covered with purple lavender flowers, tour the facility and learn how lavender essential oil is made at the farm's distillery.
Niagara Essential Oils and Blends or NEOB is Niagara's first and only commercial lavender grower and essential oils producer.
The festival celebrates the harvest of NEOB's charity field in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The field is harvested after the festival and all profits from the essential oil produced from that harvest are donated to charity.
NEOB makes a number of products that include high quality essential oils, body and skin care products, home décor, edible items, sprays and mists, and much more. Visit the boutique filled with real essential oil products.
During the lavender festival, there will be numerous tents displaying various lavender products.
Many people believe that lavender is only used for its fragrance in soaps and air fresheners. Visit the Niagara Lavender Festival and learn the full range of uses for lavender.
You can also check out and shop at the various tents put up by local vendors.
There will be cooking and baking demos highlighting the use of lavender in cooking. Sit in at the demos and learn a few recipes and sample some of the goodies on display.
In addition to lavender pizza, visitors could also sample lavender ice cream, lavender lemonade, lavender short bread, lavender brownies and lavender scones. Most of the recipes are created by Melissa Achal, co-owner of NEOB.
The festival has grown every year with more visitors stopping by and many displays added each year.
You can also be part of a charitable drive. Each visitor is given a lavender plant to grow at home. The lavender harvest can be brought back to NEOB and all profits from the harvest are donated to a charity.
It is a great place to visit if you are looking for organic alternatives to various products. Find out about the many uses of lavender oil – it is a mosquito repellent, treats dandruff, heals burns and scars, etc.
NEOB has an extensive variety of lavender products that make you feel good about yourself. Their store offers many lavender products including sparkling lavender infused waters, lavender shortbread, lotions, soaps, face, body and foot balms. The lavender foot balm is one of the best products for dry, cracked feet.

The organizers allow you to sample all products.

That imei doesn't show in T-Mobile imei tool. Are you sure it is locked to them? Usually that means T-Mobile didn't sell it.
If it is a T-Mobile lock and being you are not a customer, you will not be able to get it unlocked by T-Mobile. You will need to find a site online that you can purchase an unlock from.

I thought the seller can call t-mobile support and he will be able to sort this out. And he said the phone is now yours and this is your problem.

If the seller is unwilling then there is nothing T-Mobile can do. The original owner is the only one that can work with T-Mobile to get it unlocked through them. Unless the seller can see if they meet the requirements for unlock and work with T-Mobile to do so, your only option would be to find a service online to buy the unlock from.

Ireland is a very popular destination for many tourists. Known for its rolling lush landscapes, beautiful and picturesque towns and cities, and rich history, it's a great place to go on holiday to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Of course, thousands of tourists fly to Ireland and get to see a bit of the country, often using public transport. But one of the best ways to explore Ireland is by car, especially your own car. Why? Simple. Taking your own car means you can pack it full of all the luggage you want to take. We're talking things like golf clubs, fishng roads, windsurfing gear – all the essentials! Plus Ireland is easy to get by car – you can take the ferry to Ireland from a wide range of ports in UK. And once you are there, you have the chacne to explore the length and breadth of the place in the comfort of your own car, and of course, driving on the left. So, if you enjoy a bit of driving, discovering Ireland by car can be a great way to totally immerse yourself in this stunning place.
Where should I go?
There are plenty of places to explore. One of the most popular choices is the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland. This offers travellers some of the most incredible views in all of Ireland, weaving across County Wicklow for some exceptional scenery, particularly in Sally Gap. This particular route is known as one of the greatest road trips to take in the world, specifically because of the Giant's Causeway. The route in general is filled with incredible natural beauty, a magnificent combination of scenery and heritage. It is a journey that should be savoured, where every village provides the traveller with a new adventure, and every scene is like a vision from a dream. Discover the rocks, castles, cliffs and beaches from your driving seat at your own pace, and take a camera to record the exceptional views.
What can I do on a driving holiday?
What can't you do? Driving gives you the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want. If you're the outdoorsy type, you can bring whatever your hobby is along with you. If you're a big walker, pack up your hiking boots, drive to the foot of a hill, and take a trek up to the top for some spectacular scenery. There are plenty of isolated mountain paths. If you're big on water sports, strap your surfboard to the top of the car and drive to any number of the local beaches. There are plenty of locations around the coast which are ideal for surfing. Catch a wave in a tranquil setting. If you are a keen golfer, bring along your clubs and head to one or more of Ireland's courses. There are over four hundred to choose from. Fishing is also another way of experiencing the peaceful countryside. There are hundreds of rivers and lakes offering a variety of fishing opportunities. And if you are a big cycler, load up the bike rack and leave the car at the B&B for the day, as there are plenty of cycling routes to explore. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Other outdoorsy activities include horse riding and equestrian sports, adventure breaks, sailing and other water activities, and spa breaks.
Drive Your Own Car
Taking the ferry across the sea is the easiest and cheapest option. Rather than having to carry luggage on trains, spend money on taxis or bus tickets, pack up your bags, hop in the car, and drive to one of Europe's most beautiful countries. Even the petrol prices tend to be cheaper in the Republic of Ireland. Ferry crossings are as short as ninety-nine minutes, so you'll be there in no time at all. If you are travelling to Dublin, ferries are available from Holyhead, the Isle of Man, and Liverpool. If you want to go to Belfast, travel from the Isle of Man, Liverpool Birkenhead, or Stranraer. Cork can be reached by ferry from Swansea, Ballycastle can be reached from Campbeltown, and Rosslare from Fishguard and Pembroke. Larne can be reached by ferry from Cairnryan and Troon.
Hiring a Car
If you don't own a car, it shouldn't stop you from going on a driving holiday around Ireland. Why not hire a vehicle for the duration of your stay? You can hire a car at nearly all of Ireland's airports, as well as in most major ports and towns. That way, if it's easier or quicker for you to fly over there, you'll save on UK driving time. This is particularly useful if you are only holidaying for a few days, or a long weekend.
You can book in advance at a number of places, or just turn up and drive away with your hire car. However, it is advisable to book in advance, particularly if you are travelling during the busy tourist seasons. It's definitely the more cost-effective option. Most cars available to rent are standard shift. If you want to drive an automatic for the duration of your stay, get in touch with the hire company in advance and they may be able to provide one, but it is likely you will need to pay more. Other additional extras include child seats, if you are planning to take the whole family with you. This may or may not be available at an extra charge, but to ensure availability, make sure you request it on booking.
If you are hiring a car, you obviously need to hold a full and valid driving licence or an international driving permit if you are visiting from abroad. Make enquiries with your national motoring establishment if you are unsure. When booking a hire car, always make sure you thoroughly read the terms and conditions, and also advise the company if you are planning to travel between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
In case you are unfamiliar, here are a few driving laws to adhere to during your stay in Ireland.
Seatbelts must be worn by all passengers at all times in both the front and back of the car. If you have hired a motorbike, both drivers and passengers must wear helmets at all times. You must drive your car on the left-hand side of the road.
Speed limits in Northern Ireland are different that in the Republic of Ireland. In Northern Ireland, the limits are seventy miles per hour on motorways, sixty on single carriageways, and thirty in most other places. In the Republic of Ireland, the limits are sixty miles per hour on national roads, fifty, on non-national roads, and thirty in most other areas.
Laws on drinking and driving in Ireland are very severe. Any driver breaking these laws will be penalised greatly. Do note that signposts in the Republic of Ireland are shown in kilometres per hour as opposed to miles per hour, so make sure you know your conversions. They are also mostly bilingual in Gaelic and English. The only place where this is not the case is in and around Gaeltacht, where signs are in Gaelic only. This is not the case in Northern Ireland, where signs are still in mph and English.
Benefits of Car Holiday
One of the great benefits of travelling around Ireland by car is the freedom it gives you. You can go wherever you want, whenever you want. There's no waiting round for public transport, which can be annoying, as well as time consuming, especially if it's late. And you don't have to stick to the main tourist areas. Take yourself off the beaten track whenever you want and explore Ireland's remote towns and villages. There are an abundance of quaint places to visit. And the journey there can be all the more spectacular if you drive. Roads might wind along a steep cliff top, along a winding beach, or snake through hills and fields, cutting through the lush countryside. There is always incredible scenery to make the drive more interesting, and local flora and fauna to tantalise the senses. You can take the journey at whatever pace you want. Stop off for a picnic in the woods, or a hike up the hills. It's your holiday to do exactly what you want.
There's always the worry with driving holidays that you might get lost on your way, so it's wise to take maps and a sat-nav. But even if you do get lost, it's all part of the adventure! If you find yourself not quite knowing where you are, drive by your instincts. You never know what might be around the next corner: a secluded little cove, or a picturesque village. Failing that, stop off and ask the locals for directions. It's a great way of getting to know the people, who will always be willing to help!
Meeting the locals is all part and parcel of the journey. People from Ireland are well known for their hospitality and sense of fun. So even if you do go on a driving holiday, you're bound to experience the great Irish welcome at some point. Of course, during your stay you'll have to stop off at bed and breakfasts. A lot of these places off the beaten track are run by families, so you'll have a really personal welcome. You might stay in a rustic farmhouse, or a historical building. It's a great way to immerse yourself in Irish culture and everyday life. And often, the owners will be more than happy to give you tips on local points of interest that you may have missed otherwise. So your overnight stay is bound to be more than just a quick sleep and a fry up.

Hello, I am delighted to have been asked to be guest designer at Scrap Matrix, for a second time. It has been fun to play along with the new challenge, "To the Point". Here is the challenge graphic, as a reminder:
There is so much great inspiration here with this challenge, so it was a fun one to be able to do.
I had a photo in mind when it came to this challenge, and when I received the papers and other products to play with, I knew this was going to work together. I wanted to create something really grungy, but not too grungy that it was overwhelming to work with my photo.
Dream Big
I started this layout with these awesome 7 Dots Studio Hazy Days collection papers, I mean to say, they just speak grunge to me when I look at them. To top it off, they already had on them chevrons and zigzag patterns, just like in the challenge graphic. I cut the chevron strip off the bottom of the Zip paper and stuck it to the Slick paper, as this had the colour on it that I wanted to work with.
The other great product that I got to use for this layout was this Paper Artsy stencil.
So I was well and truly supplied with products to make a grungy boy layout using the point theme for the challenge.
I laid down some colour onto my patterned paper, using Dylusions paint, Dina Wakely acrylic paint, and Tim Holtz distress oxides..
Using the Paper Artsy stencil, and Finnabair by Prima clear crackle texture paste, I applied texture over my page.
Other detail added to the background was done by using this awesome stamp set by Paper Artsy and Ranger archival ink.
So after all of that creativity, I ended up with this background.
So to embellish the layout, firstly I made some stars, using the 7 dots paper, I also used this to mat my photo.
I was given this awesome MAMBI chipboard pack to work with. So using chipboard pieces that worked for the layout, I sanded them back to make them a bit grungy, and placed them strategically around the page in clusters, wherever they suited. For the title I had a different idea in my head, but flicking through the pack, I found the piece that said Dream Big, which I thought was a perfect title, considering my great-nephew was trying to get onto a very oversized skateboard.
As extra embellishing, I used 7 Dots Studio Lost and Found Elements to scatter around the layout.
I love the grungy feel to this layout, without it being too grungy for a small boy. I loved creating it. So I hope I have provided some inspiration, and you feel like doing the challenge. Until next time...Sandra.

The steps on creating a landing page were not fixed neither they were standardized according to a single set of procedure. Creating a landing page has always been non-conforming to the traditional and the classic. In fact, the manner that landing pages are created never adhered neither has it conformed to any set of rules. However, just like any other pages that are created, a series of steps are required in order to complete the process and eventually produce an output that is passing the standard of the majority. Below are some of the usual steps that are taken to create a landing page:
a. You start with your landing page content. The landing page should have a very well thought content because it tries to motivate and encourage people to buy or to the least take an action about what you are trying to offer. The content that they will read needs to be something that is impacting and encouraging.
b. Think about where to reference the link on the landing page. The landing page needs to reference another page or website when the potential client has clicked on the link. Make sure that the link on the landing page redirects the client to the appropriate and equally catching page. Otherwise, all else shall be put in vain.
c. Build a targeted list of potential client. It is best that you know who the landing page will cater to. Knowing the prospective clients can give lead you to the right direction in writing the appropriate content based on your readers and the kind of style to be implemented to better attract and entice these potential clients.

That day was alright.
I had a driving lesson. It went pretty well. I did parking uphill, downhill, and learned how to do three point turns, which I'm going to have to practice.
Afterwards I went shopping with my mom a little to use the gift card my grandmother gave me and to get a simple portfolio case for Saturday. There was a cute guy around my age at the counter, but another employee came along before the person in front of us was done with the guy. He was also around 6'5″ tall.
The rest of the day I just relaxed and worked in Blender a little bit.
Sunday, October 22, 2017
This day was a bit more productive.
I went to church, and I had a fun time. A lady I know looked at me in a defeated manner (she was comparing our heights), but when I told her I was wearing heels, she laughed and thanked me for saying I was.
We had a good service. But we also had a good testimony about a man who was hit by a car and who's now bound to a wheelchair. In short, be careful when you drive, seriously. Eliminate all distractions; your phone, food, very loud music, and more. You could end up making a life changing mistake. Also, be careful listening to music while waiting at the bus stop, walking on the sidewalk, crossing the street, etc. Always keep an ear open.
For the rest of the day I relaxed, worked on some Blender, a bit on my presentation, and I did some 2 and 5 minute gestures for my portfolio. I have 3 gestures I did for it.
That's all for today.

History And Origins Of Zombies

Subject: History And Origins Of Zombies

Like the Mummy, Zombies are a lumbering, staggering, Halloween and Horror presence.
What makes zombies different is that they do not come from a European gothic tradition. Instead, the zombie story originates in Haiti, where West Africans were brought as slaves to work on the sugar plantations.
As a part of the voodoo religion, Haitians believe that magicians, or houngans, can revive the recently dead, turning them into mindless, soulless servants. Believers in voodoo will guard the grave of deceased relatives until they are certain that it has begun to decay, for the magic only works on fresh bodies.
Today, scientists have studied the zombie legend and have developed several of explanations for the belief. Victims of a number of psychiatric disorders such as catatonic schizophrenia may exhibit symptoms that could be wrongly interpreted by the superstitious as zombies.
Another explanation suggests that the houngans may have used combinations of toxic drugs to send their victims into a deep coma. Mistaken for dead, the victims would be buried, only to be disinterred and revived by the Houngan. Other drugs would be used to keep the "zombie in a passive and obedient state.
As with much of the horror mythology, the Hollywood version is the one we most recognize. The first zombie movie may well have been the 1932 Bela Lugosi film, White Zombie. In it, Lugosi plays a zombie master who orders his creatures to kidnap a woman with whom he has fallen in love. The woman is rescued by her husband, who throws Lugosi over a cliff. The zombies, faithful lemmings that they are, follow him to their own (second) deaths.
In 1968, George Romero re-imagined the zombie in his low-budget film, Night of the Living Dead. In the Romero films - and, indeed, in most subsequent zombie films - the dead are a sort of plague, spreading beyond control. In Night, they are resurrected by a nuclear spill (another great modern fear), and go in search of human flesh to eat. It's quite a change from the original voodoo concept.
The zombies in the more recent 28 Days Later are the result of a biological disaster, as a germ kept in a laboratory is let loose by animal rights terrorists.
Biological contamination and nuclear radiation are both real modern fears. A lot of people don't believe in vampires and werewolves anymore. But nuclear accidents and biohazards are real possibilities.

When it was announced that Peter Capaldi was to become the new Doctor, there was little doubt in anyone's mind that things in the TARDIS were going to change dramatically. Jenna Coleman, who plays companion Clara Oswald, claimed that Doctor Who was indeed going to be "a different show" and that Capaldi will "take the show in a new (interesting) direction."
"He's going to be so different to Matt [Smith]," Coleman hinted. "It will be a different show next year. We have a bit of a gap before we start filming the new series, so I have time to get my head around it all…Me and Peter will get together before Christmas to start rehearsing and the scripts will start coming in."
Matt Smith also commented on Capaldi's appointment saying, "I think he's just going to be incredible…he has the most brilliant ideas. As a fan, I'm genuinely excited to see what he's going to do because I think he's going to do something extraordinary."
However, despite this some fans are not so confident and some have expressed concern for younger viewers perception of the new Doctor, most of whom know little of the series and the Doctor's character before his ninth incarnation, played by Christopher Eccleston. The majority of fans have welcomed the U-turn in casting and believe it takes the character back to his roots as the grandfather figure he was back in 1963 when William Hartnell was in the role, who incidentally, was the same age as Peter Capaldi at the time.
It wasn't until 1975 that the Doctor's role really began to change when 'youngster' Tom Baker was cast at the age of 40. Tom Baker's incarnation took the character from being the grandfather of the TARDIS to one of an uncle, which changed the series beyond recognition paving the way for fifth Doctor Peter Davidson in 1982, who took on the role at the tender age of 30. It was during this period of Doctor Who that the relationship between the Doctor and his companions began to resemble the one we recognise today; the fifth Doctor saw his companions as equals as opposed to taking a more authoritative position.
When the show returned to our screens in 2005 it brought with it a TARDIS full of new elements. The special effects were appropriately named for the first time, the Daleks' master plans were longer scuppered by stairs and Doctor Who had became 'sexy'. The Doctor in turn became just that too – with David Tennant being voted as 'Sexist Man Alive in 2013 and 2014 – and more than just a friend to some of his companions. This in turn gained a new fanbase giving the series a new image. However it has to be said, it's one that Capaldi doesn't automatically fit into. Capaldi's Doctor will certainly change the dynamics of the show, particularly in terms of fandom and while the classic fans have welcomed the change, it may take a little longer for some of the younger fans to get used to a more mature Doctor.
Peter Capaldi will make his debut in The Time of the Doctor which airs on BBC 1 on Christmas Day at 7.30pm.

13th. September
The new Town Hall of the City of Manchester, the first stone of which had been laid on October 26, 1868, and the top stone of the tower fixed on December 4, 1875, was opened by the Mayor (Alderman Abel Heywood) on September 13. The members of the Council assembled at the old Town Hall, and marched three abreast, with proper accompaniments of horse and foot soldiers, fire brigade, and policemen, to Albert Square, where Sir Joseph Heron presented the Mayor with a golden key, with which he opened he doors, and the Council proceeded straight to their chamber amidst a flourish of trumpets and the performance of the National Anthem. A meeting of the Council was then held under the presidency of the ex-Mayor (Alderman Curtis), and on the proposition of the two oldest aldermen, Messrs. Willert and Bake, an address for presentation to the Mayor was adopted, and afterwards presented in the banqueting-room. In the evening a banquet was given by the Mayor and Corporation in the large public room, the guests numbering four hundred, and including the Lord Chief Justice (Sir Alexander Cockburn), Bisbop Fraser, Lords Tollemache and Winmarleigh, Mr. Justice Hawkins, the Right Hon. John. Bright, M.P., and other members of the House of Commons; the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of York, the Right Hon. the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, and the mayors of the neighbouring towns; the members of the City Council, and representatives of the magistracy, members of the legal, medical, and clerical professions, and representatives of public bodies. On the same day the Mayor was presented with a richly-cut large glass goblet, bearing a beautifully-cut full front view of the Town Hall, manufactured and given by the men at the Prussia Street Flint Glass Works, Oldham Road. On the following day, September 14, the bakers of Manchester presented his worship with a beautifully-illuminated address, and the operative stonemasons' societies of Manchester, Salford, and Hulme presented him with an illuminated address in the shape of a book. In the evening the reception and ball took place in the large public room and was numerously attended, invitations having been issued to about three thousand people. The public celebrations were brought to a close on Saturday, September 15, when a great demonstration of trade and friendly societies took place. The huge procession, which was between five and six miles long and contained nearly 50,000 persons, started from the Infirmary en route for Albert Square about twelve o'clock. When several of the societies had reached the Square the bands played the National Anthem, followed by three cheers for the Mayor and Mayoress and John Bright; the bells then commenced playing, and the procession marched past. Sixty-nine societies took part, and afterwards went, some to Manley Park and Pomona Gardens, others to Alexandra Park, and others to Belle Vue. The total cost of the Town Hall building and fittings was about £480,000, and, including land, about £775,000. During one time more than 1,000 builders' men were engaged, and for more than twelve months between 600 and 700 masons were kept in constant employment, being fully 100 more than were ever engaged upon the Houses of Parliament at any one time. Of stone, 480,000 cubic feet were used; bricks, 16,500,000; roofing, two and a half acres; iron beams and girders, two miles; lead, 129 tons; tracery in windows, 9,000 superficial feet; stone columns and shafts in groins, 13,500 feet; bulls'-eyes in ornamental lead windows, 12,120; and gas burners, 3,000. The total number of rooms in the building is three hundred and fourteen. Messrs. Taylor, of Loughborough, considered that the peal of bells was the greatest undertaking of the kind previously attempted. They form an almost chromatic scale of twenty-one bells, reaching within half a note of two octaves. Ten of them are hung as a ringing peal, and are of the same weight as the famous Bow bells. The large bell, G, weighs 6 tons 9 cwt., and is believed to be the fourth largest in the country and the sixteenth in the world. Big Ben, at the Houses of Parliament, weighs 13 tons 11 cwt.; Peter of York, 10 tons 15 cwt.; and Tom of Oxford, 7 tons 12 cwt.; but Big Ben is cracked, and Tom cannot be used. Each of the twenty-one bells has on it the initials of a member of the Town Council (of that date) or Corporation official, and round the top of each there is also inscribed a line of Tennyson's well-known lyric from his "In Memoriam." The quotation begins with the last line in the second verse, and after giving two verses ipsissima verba, omits the next, and then adheres to the text in the other three verses.(7)

A few years before his death he retired on a pension.(7)

text: Articles 8 to 29 of Pakistan's 1973 constitution clearly elaborate the fundamental rights of all Pakistani citizens. All native Pakistanis are guaranteed security, right to a fair trial, freedom from slavery and forced labour, freedom of movement, freedom of assembly and safety from illegal detention regardless of caste, gender or ethnicity. However, the harsh reality is that when it comes to equal rights for women, we still have to cover many milestones. In 2017, the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security ranked Pakistan the fourth worst country for women out of 153 countries. This shouldn't come as a surprise. Recently when I was going through the constitution and certain other legal documents, I couldn't help but notice that these documents mostly use the pronoun 'he', as if women don't exist in this country. Working women in Pakistan continue to face numerous challenges and cultural barriers. Surprisingly, many educated women remain unaware of the existence of laws meant to protect them at the workplace, such as the 2010 Workplace Harassment act. The act was meant to encourage women to discard traditional gender roles and venture into professional life. However, it will not be of any use until women know it is there to protect their rights. Our society's patriarchal attitudes have found their way into our courtrooms as well, and as a result women face a number of challenges The situation is the same with similar laws on acid attacks, honour killing and cybercrimes. These are positive steps, but they cannot be effectively implemented until the awareness about such laws increases. Many women related disputes such as marriage dissolutions, disputes about custody of children and juvenile issues are handled by family courts, which continue to follow the 1964 family act. Our society's patriarchal attitudes have found their way into these courts as well, and as a result women face a number of challenges. The problem is compounded by women's lack of awareness about their rights. Many don't even know that it is their right to have their Nikah Namah read to them when they are getting married. Women also suffer because of pendency in the family courts. Around 7000 family cases were registered in Peshawar in 2016 and out of these 4000 are still pending. The plight of women who are suffering because of domestic violence also hasn't been addressed because the laws meant to prevent domestic violence in this country haven't been implemented properly. Law enforcement officials continue to see a man physically abusing his wife as a 'household issue' rather than a crime. All these problems need to be addressed so that women can finally be allowed to thrive in our society. It is when this will happen that women will start fully participating in our society, and bring about a change for the better.

This is the Gentleman's Handbook, a recurring series on situational awareness, preparation and etiquette for the modern man. This month: Winter Survival.
When you grow up in the Rocky Mountains — like this correspondent did — you learn a few things.
Like which way is west (toward the mountains). Or how to start a fire (with a can of camp fuel). Or what type of shorts look best with Tevas (all).
And come winter, you better know best practices for digging your car out of a snowbank. These are they.
1. Always Be Prepared
First off, you're not getting anywhere without the right tools for the job. Starting with a shovel. They make collapsible, compact shovels specifically for digging cars out, but yours truly always preferred the more durable avalanche shovels that backcountry skiers favor. You're also gonna need some help getting purchase if you're in deep — a bag of sand or cat litter will hunt; cardboard and floor mats work in a pinch.
2. Dig In
Dig smarter, not harder. First off, is your car rear- or front-wheel drive? That's where you want to start. Make a "runway" for each tire by leveling the ground 2-3 feet both behind and in front of it. Lay some sand/cat litter down in each track to help with traction.
3. The Escape
First rule of getting-unstuck club is don't spin your tires. Meaning: stay out of high gears and take it easy on the pedal. In your lowest gear (or 4WD, if you have it), rock the car back and forth a few times — forward, reverse; forward, reverse. This will further smooth out the tracks you made in Step 2. Now use the full breadth of the runway to get momentum and careen out.
Pro tips: Still stuck? Have a couple buddies sit on your trunk (RWD) or hood (FWD) directly over the wheelbase to give the tires more purchase. And if you've got a manual (those still exist?) you can usually "pop the clutch" a few times for a surefire escape.

Now they have one to pay 100 euros to get a street named according to your choice in a Palestinian town where the streets had no names.

Today I want to tell you about a family, just one of many, who lost everything in the deadly tornadoes that hit Alabama. This is just one of many families whose lives were devastated by the tornadoes on April 27, 2011. We are raising donations to take to this community to help families like the one you will read about below. Please read their story, and even though I usually don't ask for donations via my blogs I'm begging you to please help if you have the means to do so. No donation is too small, and every penny will go to help this small farming community recover.
The Crosby family are old family friends. The Grandfather, Earl, and my husband's uncle have been the best of friends since they were young boys. They grew up together in Florida, and eventually the Crosby's moved to Mount Hope, Alabama to be closer to Ben's uncle's family. Over the years their little farm has grown to a farm with 4 family homes where they raised horses and other animals.
When the 1/2 mile wide tornado hit Mount Hope, Alabama, Earl's family suffered greatly. All four family homes were destroyed. Earl lost his life, and many other family members are hospitalized. In fact the only family members who are not in the hospital are the 3 grandchildren and one of Earl's daughters. His wife is, Barbara, was severely injured, and she is currently in one hospital. Their son is in critical condition in another hospital. He was injured so severely part of his skull had to be removed, and his prognosis isn't good. One of the daughter's was recovering from surgery she had a week before the tornado, and now she is hospitalized with a severe infection. Earl's sister-in-law is also hospitalized with injuries.
All 4 grandchildren were treated for injuries, but thankfully they weren't severe and were released. Now the 4 grandchildren are staying with their aunt in a 1 bedroom apartment. The patriarch of the family lost his life, and only the one sister has a home to return to.
Friends and neighbors in Mount Hope have spent the week doing what they can to search through the rubble to rescue the farm animals (that didn't pass away when the barn collapsed), find any belongings that could be found (not many at all), and start a cleanup process. Friends have taken in the remaining horses, and they are now struggling to keep them fed. One mother horse lost her life, and they are now bottle feeding the baby. Many of the other horses and animals were injured and need care throughout the day.
These families have been trying to care for what's left of the Crosby's farm while caring for their own families. Power has been restore (thankfully a month before expected), but supplies are still very much needed. Most food and supplies must be purchased in another town 20 miles away because many businesses in this small farming community were destroyed by the tornado. It is very hard for the families to get the supplies they need because they can't purchase the gas they need to pick up supplies. After driving to another town to get gas and supplies they must wait in long lines at the pump where they are then rationed on their gas purchase.  They must conserve the gas they are able to buy because many of the families don't have jobs to return to and have already exhausted any savings they had.
Now that the power has been restored a few have been able to return to work, but it's still going to be a long road of recovery for the people of Mount Hope, especially those like Earl's family. The National Guard and Red Cross has been through the area, but they can't setup to provide these families with everything they need. There just aren't enough resources available, and they are greatly needed in the bigger areas of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. There are many of these small farming towns who were hit by those deadly tornadoes, and the people in these towns must rely on donations from individuals and small churches to help.
With the power back on some of the more immediate needs have been met thanks to the local church groups and other individuals helping. Many things are still needed, though, especially for the families who lost everything. Without homes to return to they have nothing more than the clothes that have been provided by Red Cross and the church groups.
My mother-in-law and my husband will be making a trip to Alabama on May 11th to transport donated items we have gathered. We have been blessed with great communities of our own who are willing to help, but some things are still greatly needed.
I will be raising donations to purchase items for the Crosby family and other families that have been affected in Mount Hope. We will be purchasing items that have not been donated (or are needed in greater quantities), and I have setup a donation site through ChipIn. All money raised will go to purchase items needed. Leftover funds will be used to purchase a few gift cards to help families get back on track, and the rest will be donated to one of the local churches who has been providing clothing and hot meals to the families in need in Mount Hope. Updates, as we get them, are also being posted on the Mount Hope, Alabama Tornado Relief Fund Chip In Page.
Please if you have the ability to do so consider donating anything you can, no matter how small the amount is. All funds are much needed to help these families!
Needed Items Include:
- ant poison, bug spray (if you've ever been to the Southern states in the Summer months you know bug spray is a must while clearing through the rubble)
- sunscreen
- trash bags (for clearing rubble)
- baby wipes and diapers
- hand sanitizer
- toiletries and personal care items
- laundry detergent
- rubber gloves and work gloves (for clearing rubble)
- shampoo, conditioner, and soaps
- paper towels, paper plates, disposable cups and plastic silverware
- first aid supplies
- horse feed, chicken feed, cat food, dog food
- financial contributions (to buy supplies and provide the families with money to help purchase more of the items they need as they get back on their feet)
Also needed (but not immediately) are items to help these families recover when they find homes.
- pots, pans, cooking utensils
- sheets and other bedding
- furniture
- other household items
- gift cards to purchase other items that will be needed
The Crosby family children have lost everything. They have no toys, no books, nothing. These children have suffered through devastation, their parent's are hospitalized, and they have lost their grandfather. The oldest girl only remembers "seeing a tree coming at me." It's hard to imagine what these children have been through.
It's not much, but I would like to provide them with some things to keep them entertained while they work through the devastation that has hit them.
- The 17 year old girl could use hair accessories, makeup, small jewelry items, notebooks, pens, books, and other things teenagers like.
- The 3 boys, ages 8-11, could use games, toys, books, and other items younger boys like to play with.
I will be sending a computer loaded with a few games and programs needed when school starts back up, but the children will not be able to use it until they are settled into a new home, and no one knows when that will be. These families will be struggling to get back on their feet, and even though housing is top priority, the families who are taking them in will not be able to provide shelter forever.
I don't ask my readers to donate often, but there is an urgent need to help the families of Mount Hope and surrounding towns who are living through this devastation. Please consider donating anything at all if you have the means to do so. You will find the donation button on my blog's sidebar.
If you can't help financially but would like to send items you may email me (jshusterman @ charter . net) or leave a comment on this post, and I will reply to you with information on how to do that. We have people mailing items from all over the country to us, and we will be transporting them or sending them when we can. The post office in Mount Hope was damaged, and it is hard to get packages into them at the present time.
If you can't donate please consider re-posting this information along with a ChipIn badge on your own blog or website!
Thank you for reading this, and may you all have a blessed day.
Volunteers have arrived in Mt. Hope to help along with tons of supplies to give the families what they immediately need! (See the comments section) One of the churches is packed with supplies!
We will still be sending everything we have collected (a big thank you to everyone who has donated supplies and funds), and they will be distributed where they are needed most whether it be Mt. Hope or one of the neighboring towns.
Although immediate needs have been met there is still a need for basic household items, cooking utensils, towels, can openers, plates, etc. We will do everything we can to help these families.

Just when you thought 52-year-old mom of three Demi Moore couldn't look any younger, she snaps a photo with her eldest daughter that has people all over the Internet doing a double take.
Rumer Willis, who just won this season's "Dancing With the Stars" competition, posted a photo of her and her mother to Instagram last night with the duo twinning in matching black jumpsuits, long, dark hair and black horn-rimmed glasses.
"That moment when you realize you actually are becoming your mother #twinning #imnotmad," the 26-year-old wrote on the social media site.
Rumer is the eldest of three daughters that Moore has with former husband Bruce Willis. They also have Scout, 23, and Tallulah, 21.

Fag Power: Owning and running more of the Church, and more of America.
On some of Marxism's earliest created and exploited splinter groups now becoming the dominant exploiters and owners and drivers of culture.
Vic Biorseth, Tuesday, January 12, 2016
It's like Marxism, who started this bus rolling, has been moved to the back seat, and an underling is now driving. It's as if Satan had trained up a new demon and given him his mission, and now that demon is telling Satan to step aside, because the demon is now in charge.
When evil is unleashed, no one knows where it will go.

Day 3: Legian. A great days ride (80 km) in the southern part of Bali to see Ulu Watu and Nusa Dua which is renowned for its great surfing waves.
Day 4: Legian - Ubud (80 km)
Leave the coast and head into the mountains. On the way stop at Sanur beach which is another of Bali's many great beaches and continue onto Tampaksiring which is located in a beautiful valley and one of the many Hindu temples in Bali. Ubud - this small town is situated in the mountains and is the artistic center of Bali. Western artists and intellectuals began visiting Ubud in the 1930's and they provided the stimulus to the local community, who used this knowledge, to promote and enhance the traditional Balinese art, culture and handicrafts, of which Ubud has become renowned for.

This mountain is still active with huge lava flows, which have solidified and cover a big area. There are hot thermal springs and many villages around the lakes edge.
Day 7: Peneloken. Free day to explore. If you have the energy and inclination, the walk up to the lip of the Mt Batur crater to watch the sunrise is fantastic! Otherwise sleep in and then have a leisurely ride around the lake and then up to the crater rim for lunch in the many restaurants.

Lovina beach is situated on the northern coast and near Singaraja, which was the center of Dutch power and has some fine Dutch architecture. Lovina Beach is a popular beach resort but is also very laid back and quiet, making it an ideal base to explore northern Bali.

Millions of Americans are looking at the new insurance options they have under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Most people are familiar with the bronze, silver, gold, and platinum tiers that are available. But until now, it's been hard to know exactly what Obamacare silver plans would look like in real life.
In the following video, Dan Caplinger, The Motley Fool's director of investment planning, takes a look at Obamacare silver plans and what kind of coverage you can expect from them. Dan notes that the idea behind the silver tier is that insurance companies pay 70% of expected costs while you pay 30%, but that doesn't mean all your expenses are split 70/30. In looking at various plans from Cigna (NYSE:CI), Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and Kaiser, Dan observes that from state to state and even from plan to plan within given states, policies can vary widely. For instance, the three policies he looks at have deductibles ranging from $2,000 to $3,000, doctor-visit fees from $20 to $45, and out-of-pocket maximums ranging from $5,000 to $6,350. Dan concludes that it's essential to look closely at the plans available in your state to find the right combination of traits to fit your health and financial condition.

Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

If you didn't know anything about the ultra premium lingerie design house you would probably think they sold home security systems. Thankfully, they don't. They've made a killing of taking women's undergarments to a whole new level of illness, and frankly, they make even Victoria's Secret collection look like a set of training bras. No knock on Vicky Secret, just saying. Anyhow, AP has dropped their Spring/Summer 2014 Collection and it's quite nice. If you're in need of some eye candy, or just some ideas for that special lady in your life, this might be a good starting point. Be prepared to make it rain though, because prices range from $100 to $900 a piece. All thirst aside, AP regularly kills it with their photo shoots…check out the full gallery below. httpvh://youtu.be/dVKNcdbaqgc Follow on Twitter: @TheMissAP Related 99th Packers Very useful information. Thank you for sharing it. Thanks 99th.in

I started collecting LPs after I won a contest and had dinner with The Kinks in 1969. My collection has grown to over 5200 LPs, many of which are rare, obscure & better used as a Frisbee, but still close to my heart.
I started by making 8 track tapes for people, graduating to cassettes, then finally CDs. Mixing in sound bites, commercials & my own radio station IDs. ( My fictional station). I believe music is the ultimate language, a bridge to convey messages of peace & love to all who will simply listen.
My them song is "I'm Not Like Everybody Else", by The Kinks. And if you tune in to Lava Lamp Serenade, you'll know why. Music is meant to be fun, and that's what I try to provide each week, FUN!.
If you'd like to hear something you haven't heard in eons, let me know by going to my website: lavalampserenade.com. I also archive my shows there as well.
As the great philosophers once said: "The love you take, is equal to love you make".....
