New members would normally attend our Saturday and Sunday evening training sessions initially. We have the use of all six lanes on both of these evenings so we can cater for a wide range of abilities. These sessions run from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. Our youngest members would be typically 7 or 8 years of age but we have had some younger. Children should be able to swim at least 25m on front crawl and backstroke before joining the Club.
As swimmers advance in stamina and strength and as their techniques improve they are encouraged to attend some of our other sessions. As we only have the use of two lanes at these times we cannot cater for as many as we would like to.
Please note the following:
1. Membership is €100 for one child or €150 for a family membership. The Club season typically lasts from mid September until the end of June each year.
2. Swimmers must pay €5 each time they attend Club sessions.
3. Tuam Swimming Club is a 'not for profit' organisation. None of the Club's teachers, coaches or officers is paid anything for the work they do. They do this work voluntarily to promote swimming in the Tuam area.
4. The highest standards of behaviour and co-operation are expected from swimmers at all times.
5. Training will be held as follows:
'A' Squad – swimmers who are seriously committed to training and to competitive swimming can attend the following sessions:
Sunday: 10:00a.m. to 12 noon
Tuesday: 6.45am to 8.15am

A Brief Survey
About 130 kilometers southwest of Lanzhou on the northwestern plateau, lies the famous, ancient city o[ Linxi-a—the "Land Port of Gansu". Linxia stands on the bank of the lower reaches of the Daxia River, since the river is its neighbor, the town is called" neighbor" (" lin")to the "Xia" which refers to the Daxia River.
Surrounded by hills, Linxia slopes down gently from southwest to northeast and is at an average elevation o[ 1, 917 meters above sea level. The four seasons in Linxia are very distinct and the temperature variation between day and night is fairly great. The average annual temperature is 6.7 degrees centigrade. The warmest month is in July with an average temperature of 18. 1 degrees. The coldest month is January with an average temperature of -7.4 degrees. The population of Linxia is about 150, 000. Being the seat of government of the Linxia Hui Au-tonomous Prefecture, Linxia serves as a political, economic, cultural, and communication center for the prefecture. The ethnic groups living here are Han, Hui, Dongxian'g,Baot an, Salar, Tuzu, Tibetan, and Mongolian. Islam is one of the most important religions here and the city is characterized by its strong Islamic influence. Other religions here are Bud-dhism, Taoism, and Christianity.
As mentioned above, Linxia, historically, was a famous commercial center, an important place for economic and cul-tural interchange between the Central Plains and the minori-ty regions in Northwest China therefore, the local minorities have a very long history in doing business. The streets downtown are lined with stores and shops selling products from all over the country.
The main crops of the area are wheat, corn, and cash crops like rapeseed, hemp, and vegetables. The major indus-trial products are optical instruments, machine components, chemical products, building materials, and light industrial products.
Scenic Spots
Hong Yuan (Red Garden)
With an area of about 40, 000 square meters, Hong Yuan lies in the northwest section of Linxia. It is a wonder-ful world of trees and flowers. By the man-made lake are a zoo, a children' s paradise, a water bird museum, tea houses, pavilions and bridges. Among these buildings, the pavilions and bridges show the most distinctive features of the local nationalities.
In Hong Yuan are some exquisite brick carvings—a kind of local handicraft. The tea houses are places where the local people like most to gather and enjoy the companionship as well as the tea, here you can see why people say that Linxia is a great harmonious family of ethnic groups.
Dagong Bei
Located south of Hong Yuan, Dagong Bei is a good place to enjoy the sight of the palatial architecture of the northern style. With a very unique arrangement, the mosques of Dagong Bei are not only the largest group but al-so the oldest in Linxia. They were built during the Qing Dy-nasty (1636-1911 DA)
Folk Customs
Songming Yan Hua~ er Festival
Linxia Hua~ er. also called Hezhou Hua~er, is very popu-lar in this area. What makes Linxia Hua~ er different from Lianhua Mountain Hua~ er is that the style of the former is richer and full of change, the language is very poetic with a strict metrical patterns and unique rhythm, furthermore, so-lo singing antiphonally is the usual performance style rather than choral singing. Generally speaking, a hua~ er song of the Linxia style contains four or six sentences, which reveals a singer's heart-felt emotions. The subject matter is wide-ranging, but those concerning love are naturally the most popular.
Songming Yan Mountain is one of the most important locations for the Linxia Hua~ er festival. It lies 60 kilometers south of Linxia and just 28 kilometers south of the Hezheng County seat. Here the high mountains with hardy, old pines reach into the skies. Here the gentle breeze soughs through the pines and causes the trees to sway like the waves of a green lake.
The hua' er festival is actually held annually on the 28th day of the fourth lunar month, however, on the 26th day, the singers and fans begin arriving. As soon as they ar-rive, they put up their tents on the hillsides under the trees and add their voices to the singing of those who arrived ear-lier; songs of welcome fill the valley with singing which e-choes through the valley day and night. On the early morning of the 28th day, singers in threes and fours, on the river banks or on the hillsides, gather to lift their voices and sing hua' er songs. Antiphonal solos and choruses are dotted throughout the area. Of course, the most excellent singers attract large crowds around them and these places become the focal points of the festival. Everyone is caught up in the joyous tumult of the festival. In recent years, the number of those attending has been well over 100, 000; therefore, naturally, trade fairs are now held during the festival which certainly adds to the bustle and excitement of the thrilling sights and sounds.
Yanxi Qu (Wedding Songs)
Among the people of Linxia, another type of folk song is very popular, it is called Yanxi Qu. The song style is simi-lar to hua' er but usually sung antiphonally by men while they dance at wedding parties. The singingis usually with-out accompaniment, After the bride is married, the bride-groom' s parents will give a dinner party that evening to cel-ebrate the marriage. During the evening, male guests—rela-tives and friends, often sing beautiful Yanxi Qu to express good wishes to the newlyweds. Yanxi Qu' s dance move-ments are vigorous, richly expressive, and characteristic of the ethnic style. Nowadays, Yanxi Qu is not restricted to wedding parties, it has become a very popular form of art song performed both by men and women at traditional fes-stivals and when celebrating a good harvest.
Peony City
The local people are very fond of their flowers, especail-ly peonies. In Linxia, one can hardly find a single family that does not grow peonies; there are as many as 180 varieties in the town. The best places to enioy them are Dagong Bei, Hong yuan, and Donggong Guan (Eastern Mansion) where there are some ancient species which are regarded as rare treasures of China.
Every year, when the summer arrives, peonies, both in Linxia and the surrounding countryside, are in full bloom as if they were competing with each other for beauty prizes. The local people named this month "Peony Month", in which they like to visit each other and witness the beauty of their friends'peonies and share the happiness. Some peony enthusiasts even like to hold peony parties; the hosts and guests admire the peonies while sining peony songs and drinking wine. What a happy occasion!
Folk Handicrafts
Linxia Brick Carving
Linxia Brick Carving, also called,Hezhou Brick Carving, is a unique form of folk art on building facades. It first was used during the Northern Sung Dynasty (960-1127 AD) and became a mature artistic form during the Ming (1368-1644 AD) and Qing (1636-1911 AD) Dynasties. At present, Linxia Brick carving has assimilated the artistic characteristics of painting and wood carving, which has, even more, imbued this form of art with a style of its own. Rich and varied brick carvings can be found on many buildings in Linxia,nevertheless, Hong Yuan and Donggong Guan, are thought of as the real museums of brick carvings. In them, there are some masterpieces, by famous artists, which display unique artistic form and superb technique.
Bao' an Waist Knives
Enjoying a history of more than 130 years, Bao~ an Waist Kinves are a traditional handicraft exclusively manu-factured by the Bao' an minority. With exquisite craftman-ship and unique style,the knives are elegant and practical. There are dozens of different kinds of Bao' an Waist Knives; they are named according to their shapes, hilts, and sheaths. Among them, 'Shiyang Jin'is the most famous one. Bao' an Waist Knives are not only articles for daily use for Tibetan, Mongolian, Dongxiang and other minority groups, but also serve as exquisite ornaments and souvenirs. Over the years, they have developed a ready market in Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia and some other minority districts. Of course, they are also in great demand by visitors from elsewhere.
Folk Food
Huangjou Mutton (Millet Wine Mutton)
Cooked with local mutton and locally-made millet wine. Huangjou Mutton is the best-known snack in Linxia. The lo-cal millet wine has a golden color and mellow taste. The mutton is sliced as thin as paper, put into the boiling millet wine for a few seconds, chopped green onions are added, and it is ready to serve. The taste is delicious but not too rich. Having it regularly is very good for the health.
Native Products
Tangwang Chuan Apricot
These apricots are bright orange, soft, low in cellulose, have a juicy, sweet taste and a fragrance similar to peaches. They are remarkable for their size; only three of them may weigh over 0. 5 kilograms. As they are mainly produced in Tangwang Chuan, Dongxiang Automonous County, and not suitable for transport, the fresh fruit is only available in the local area. It ripens between mid-June and the first week of July. The apricot is also processed for canning, for candied fruit and jam.
Bracken is shaped like a hand and so it is also called ~ Foshou' (Buddha' s Hand), but the local name is 'Jixiang Cai" (Lucky Vegetable). Since it grows in the wilds, bracken is regarded as still free from pollution. So people think that it has a special medicinal value for health,it also contains various nutritive minerals and vitamins in abundance. In China, people started eating bracken long, long ago. At first, it only appeared on the common peoplet s dinner ta-bles as an ordinary, wild herb~later, it could be found on the tables of high officials and noble lords. It is said that brack-en was even among the items given as imperial tribute. When spring comes, the young bracken is fresh and ten-der, and ready either for eating right after washing or being dried and salted. As far as salted bracken is concerned, that processed in Linxia has the best color and taste. It has a ready market abroad.

I had called the Washington State Railroads Historical Society Museum from the train and told them we would still be coming. He told me that the collection I wanted to see wasn't at the museum site but at the Port of Pasco and he gave me excellent directions to find them. That meant I wouldn't have to rush and we could railfan along the way. Bob Riskie followed me out Oregon Highway 7 to Baker City and we took US 30 west to North Powder where we spotted a train.
Union Pacific 8181 West stopped at North Powder. He started to move so I relocated to the US Highway 30 Bridge and caught him them entering the siding.

How to Protect Yourself from Burn Injuries
At press time, the massive Valley Fire was 70 percent contained, but not before scorching more than 75,000 acres and destroying hundreds of homes in Middleton and Hidden Valley Lake, California. While most residents followed evacuation orders and survived unharmed, it reminds me to remind you of the seriousness of burn injuries.
Bay Area Runner Falls 12 Feet Due to Unmarked Construction Site
A runner friend of mine sent me an article about Christine Kennedy, a leading marathoner and a top age group runner for decades. Christine, who ran a 2:59 marathon at age 59, had plans to be the first 60-year-old woman to break three hours in a marathon, and she planned to do it in Chicago this October.

JUST ONE CHANCE by CA Harms
Oh Tequila #1, Standalone
Limitless Publishing
New Adult Romantic Comedy
You left me in a terrible haze, and I can't find my god damn wallet.
Or my left shoe.
How the hell does one lose their shoe?
I have no f*cking clue.
All I know is that my night started out with one thing in mind…to have a little fun.
The problem with that? I can't remember a damn thing, except one.
Morgan's soft and needy moans. It's a sound I will never forget, just thinking about it makes my heart race and my pulse quicken. And I want to hear it over and over again…I craved it.
But Morgan's a mystery. The harder I try the more she resists. There's one thing she doesn't know about me though…I'm not one to give up.
I'll play her game, I'll let her think she's won. But in the end, I will have her.
Because all I need is Just One Chance to prove she's meant for me…
My Review
This is the first book by CA Harms I have read and I was very impressed. So much so I am checking her out to see what other stories she has written up.
In this book you have Morgan. Morgan is a college student who is working a shit job and driving a shit car so that she doesn't have to ask her parents for money. Her parents are taking care of her disabled brother Toby and are barely making ends meet. Morgan has no time in her life for fun or relationships. She only has time for work, school and her family. One night her roommate/best friend Marcus talks her into a night of fun, attending a frat house party. He tells her she needs to let loose and have fun. As the drinks keep coming and she loosens up she is met by a stare from the gorgeous dude across the room.
Xavier is a frat boy, who lives in a house full of childlike frat boys, who love to play pranks. Well he is not drinking at the party tonight because his frat brother Red is out to pull the biggest prank of all time on him. He is hanging out at the party of his frat brothers, when his ex Brittney and her new stuck up boyfriend come in. Well there went the no drinking rule tonight.
During the party Xavier sees a beautiful blonde across the room and they cannot take their eyes off one another all night. When a frat brother runs out dancing naked in the room they lose each other. Xavier hits the bottle heavy after that.
The next morning Xavier wakes up naked, missing his shoe, his clothes are torn and he has no idea where he is. All he knows is he has a pineapple taste in his mouth. He sits up and stops when a mans voice says….."You weren't complaining last night" Then comes the oh shit what did I do last night moment.
I have to say that this book was funny as shit. I haven't laughed that hard reading a book in forever. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes and people staring. Those freaking frat brothers do some crazy ass shit to each other.
I really enjoyed this book. Ms. Harms sure does know how to tell a story. Her delivery was spot on. She keeps her readers hooked and entertained. She puts in a little dirty with a whole lot of funny and it is a breath of fresh air. She left it open for Red's story and gives you a sneak peek in the end of this book. I can't wait till Red's story comes out next. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet romance filled with lots of humor.
I give it 5 stars

There's an hour long documentary on YouTube called 'Hellraisers' which recounts the revelries of various ne'er-do-well celebrity figures, including the likes of Peter O' Toole (RIP), Oliver Reed and Richard Harris. Truth be told, the doc is a fairly one-dimensional take on the hellraising lifestyle, with the bitter lows pushed to the back in favour of boozy anecdotes about brawls and broads, but some footage of Keith Moon's room wrecking prowess was enough to inspire a quick blog post, so here it is.
5. Where the Buffalo Roam (1980 )– Hunter S. Thomson and hotel rooms didn't get along. On one of his gonzo benders, Thompson ruined a wall in the Hilton, totalled two cars and walked through a plate glass door. Where the Buffalo Roam is by no means the definitive on screen representation of Thompson, but Bill Murray pulls off drug addled intellect with skill, sending cops and hoteliers on a Wild Turkey* chase of epic pro-portions**.
*Hunter's drink of choice.
**As in large meal servings – Thompson was famed for his ability to consume three of four days worth of food in a single breakfasting session.
4. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (2004) – No matter how high, no matter how hungry, best buds H and K will not settle for the greasy slop served up in joints like Beige Tower and Terracotta Chateaux. White Castle is what they want, and no wonder – the mere mention of those shining burger battlements is enough to send the fat guy from Transformers into a property-damaging delirium.
3. The Blues Brothers (1980) – Lots of rooms get wrecked in this one. With the blues-mobile at their disposal, Jake and Elwood maul this mall to pieces. Talk about window shopping… Absolute car-nage!
2. Citizen Kane (1941) – C. F. K. goes apeshit after his new chain of fast food emporiums, Chicken Fried in Kentucky, is bought out by a more popular company with fewer syllables in its name. On the flip side, he does find that one snow globe he lost that one time. Perhaps he could go into the s-led business. Salad? Sled? Kill me.
1. Zombieland (2009) – Dawn of the Dead had it all wrong. You wouldn't moan and shuffle around, trying on fancy clothes and sniffing perfumes while the flesh-eating apocalypse raged on outside. No sir, you'd get drunk and smash some shit up. Fu**k you, consumerism!

Hello lovely people! I can *finally* talk about a project I worked on during the summer/fall! Orca Book Publishers is releasing Button Hill by Michael Bradford, and they asked me to do the cover for it! This is my second ever book cover commission and I had an amazing time working on it!
The book: Button Hill is a pretty awesome work of juvenile fiction. Its about a young boy and his sister who find a strange clock that sends them into another world, called Nightside. I had a great time reading the book, I found it very well paced and original.
The illustration: I loved working on this project, as it's my first commission to really use the style that I use in most of my personal/self promotional work. I felt privileged that I was the first to visually design this world, and I loved squeezing little details from the book into the illustrations. Thank you Orca Books, art director Chantal Gabriell and Michael Bradford!
Button Hill comes out April 2015!

Sadat's Cuisine
Saturday, November 03, 2018, 05:00pm - 07:00pm
Final dinner | Take out option available
The final edition in the series of dinners to raise the funds for an Afghan refugee couple's coming to live on PEI. Sayed and Bibi Fazli, the parents of Charlottetown restauranteur Sara Sadat, arrived safely on September 13, after being stranded in Turkey for the last year and a half. The families (Fradshams, Hartleys, Thomsons, Goddards with the Sadats) in the small sponsoring group have been working over almost two years to help make this happen. Through a series of special dinners at Sadat's Cuisine, with the boost of some generous donations and a raffle of Afghan jewelry by Ann Thurlow, the project is within reach of the full amount required by Immigration Canada to carry the refugees through the first year. The November 3 dinner is expected to push that funding over the top.
The price is $30, and $20 of that sponsors the refugees. Further contributions are welcome, and any donation of $50 or more is eligible for a tax receipt. The sit-down dinner is offered between 5 and 7 pm. Take-away orders can be made for pick-up between 5:00 and 5:30 pm.
Call 902-367-6631 to reserve a time and meal-choice.

Italian Charm Bracelets Charms U Berry
- Uberry charms come in the following styles:
- Stainless steel.
- Stainless steel with gold trim.
- Stainless steel with gold centers.
- Normal wear and tear.
- Your Uberry charms are built to withstand normal wear and tear. They are both scratch and water resistant.
- I decided to put a bracelet thru a variety of abuse. The bracelet was a double bracelet composed of 2 - 18mm photo charms, 18 - 9mm photo charms and 18 - 9mm stainless steel starter links. The photo charms are all sealed with an epoxy based jewelers sealant, not the cheaper poly based compound used by inferior manufatures and some home based designers.
- The following is the abuse and the result:
- The bracelet was tossed approximately 12 feet in the air and allowed to strike concrete over 300 times.
- No apparent damage was visible to the naked eye.
- Under magnification slight scratching was visible on the starter links
- The bracelet was cleaned using a jewelers cloth and appeared brand new.
The bracelet was tossed approximately 12 feet in the air and allowed to strike gravel over 300 times.
- Other than a coating of fine powder, the bracelet was undamaged.
The bracelet was thrown agains a wooden object approximately 20 feet away over 50 times.
- My arm hurt, but no visible damage to the bracelet.
Bracelet was worn in the shower over 30 times.
- Bracelet showed no damage.
Bracelet was washed in the pocket of a pair of blue jeans 5 times.
One charm was opened and closed, using a double ended charm key over 1, 000 times.
- No individual charm suffered no damage.
The final abuse was the striking of a single starter charm on a concrete block with a hammer.
- The charm was damaged beyond repair.
Under normal circumstances you can expect your bracelet to last you a lifetime.
Care and cleaning of your bracelet.
- wash your bracelet with warm soapy water and dry with a clean cotton cloth.
- periodically polish your bracelet with a jewelers cloth.

Media Molecule's inventive platformer jumping ship.
Posted By Pramath | On 12th, Aug. 2014 Under News | Follow This Author @Pramath1605
In what must have been one of the most unexpected announcements at GDC, Media Molecule took the stage during Sony's presentation to announce that their gorgeous, charming, inventive little platformer from last year, Tearaway, made ground up and exclusively for the PS Vita, will be coming to the PlayStation 4, and that it has been completely re-imagined to utilize the PS4's unique functions.
It's some great news, in a way, because Tearaway was a wonderful game that deserved much better than the abysmal reception that it had on the Vita. But it's also terrible news, because it basically seals the Vita's fate (as if the thorough cold shouldering that it received at Sony's conference wasn't enough): the system is dead, Sony doesn't care, and one of its best, most inventive games is now no longer an exclusive.
Oh well, I guess. At least more people get to experience this gorgeous, beautiful game this way.

Hometown Tourists in Sausalito
At the beginning of our California winter heat wave last Sunday, Tony and I jumped on a Sausalito ferry with this seagull...
...and pretended to be Euro tourists...
...like Javier above, a Spanish bar manager at
The Golden Lion Pub in London's Soho
Tony was even captured in a pose-in-front-of-the-Golden-Gate-Bridge shot.
Once in Sausalito, we took a long hike northwards along fancy marinas...
...and not-so-fancy houseboat communities...
...that are one of the few remainders of the town's arty, bohemian past...
...and home to many beautiful sea critters.
After a delicious outdoor breakfast at
Fred's Coffee Shop
, we took the return ferry where I posed for the obligatory framed by the Golden Gate Bridge shot.
The ferryboat slowed down and cruised closely by Alcatraz Island, possibly because it was a weekend ride filled with tourists rather than weekday commuters.
Alcatraz is one tourist attraction I will never visit, although plenty of friends are enthralled with the experience. Prisons, even historic and empty ones, palpably radiate with the misery of unhappy ghosts to me, so it's best to stay away.

The bad news is that more than half of the strung Christmas lights on the tree outside are kaput. Who knows why. Loose connection? There are at least thirty strands of lights in that tree and of course, my luck, the ones that are out are all front facing and up high enough that not even a tall ladder can safely check. The only strands still working are in the back of the tree, the ones I can see from inside the house.
I called the bucket truck guy who did the work and he's way upstate today and couldn't even commit to trying to come tomorrow because we are due for some bad weather.
Sooooooooooooooooooo, this leaves me totally bummed, less for myself and more for the light the tree shines into the neighborhood. Who am I kidding? I'm bummed for myself and the fact that I just paid $$$ for the truck to be here.
Anyone know a Jamaican looking for tree climbing work?

Serving our food allergic children meals that have been prepared in our own kitchen is one of the safest ways to feed our families. Unlike food that has been prepared in another kitchen (such as a restaurant, a bakery or a friend's house), we can ensure that extra measures are taken to prevent cross contact that could put our kids at risk. Yet, when our kids are diagnosed with a food allergy, cooking and baking is more of a challenge than ever before. Substitutions can be tricky and do not always work like we might expect them to, especially if an egg allergy is present. Below are a few tried and true substitutions for egg ingredients in recipes.
A Few Things to Know About Egg Substitutes in Baked Goods
Researchers have found that egg white is the portion of the egg that is most responsible for allergic reactions. You may be tempted to omit egg whites and still use egg yolk in recipes, but this is not advised. It is impossible to separate the yolk from the white without traces of egg white protein remaining. Even the smallest of traces of egg can make someone with an egg allergy sick.
In most baked goods recipes, eggs typically play one of two roles: binding or leavening. The binding agent in a recipe helps to hold the recipe together, while a leavening agent helps it to rise. An egg's role in adding moisture speaks for itself.
If a recipe calls for three or more eggs in a batch, substitutes typically do not produce a desirable result. So keep in mind that baked goods with a high egg content are not ideal candidates for egg-free cooking.
Do not use commercially marketed "egg substitutes." Opt instead for "egg replacements." Egg substitutes are usually found in the dairy portion of the grocery store and are marketed for people who are cholesterol conscious. Many of these products contain some egg, so read the label carefully. Commercial egg replacements like Ener-G brand Egg Replacer or Bob's Red Mill Vegetarian Egg Replacer often work for both binding and leavening purposes.
When a Recipe Calls for a Leavening Agent
Chia seeds are the perfect substitute for eggs in baked recipes like waffles, quick breads, cookies and more. They only require two ingredients (one being water) and minimal work. To make a chia egg you need:
- 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds
- 3 tablespoons water
Mix the two ingredients together and allow 20 minutes to thicken, until the mix forms a gel. Chia seeds can also be used as a binding agent.
Flax seeds are one of the healthiest and easiest substitutes. To make an egg replacement with flax seeds you need:
- 1 tablespoon flax seeds
- 3 tablespoons water
Mix the two ingredients together. Allow them to sit until thickened. This works as a binding agent as well.
Apple cider vinegar and baking soda work together to make dough rise. This is a great leavening agent. All you need are:
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Mix the two and add to your recipe as you would an egg.
Baking powder is used to make many baked goods rise. To get an egg effect with baking powder, you need:
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon oil (any of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
Combine the three ingredients and add directly to the rest of your ingredients.
When Eggs are Needed as a Binder
Mashed Banana: Half of a mashed banana typically does the trick when replacing eggs. Mashed bananas are best for pancakes and cookies as the flavor can complement the finished product. Do not use an overripe banana as the taste can be overpowering.
Mashed Avocado: Use ¼ cup of mashed avocado to replace one egg. This works great in chocolate recipes to mask the flavor of the avocado.
Arrowroot or Cornstarch: Arrowroot and cornstarch both work well to thicken and bind recipes. Although they are interchangeable, arrowroot is less processed. Mix 2 tablespoons of arrowroot or cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water to replace one egg.
Nut Butters: Nut butter also works great to bind in brownies, cookies and pancakes. Use three tablespoons of any nut butter of your choosing to replace one egg. Opt for creamy nut butters over chunky versions.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!!!
This time I played along and converted a Blue Bunny ice cream container into a container that will hold a set of handmade cards. The card set and container are going to be given to my MIL as a Christmas present! My DH helped me decide which colors to use, so I hope she likes it! :)
Don't forget to stop by the Bo Bunny blog and check out what the other designers created!!! We unintentionally have a little theme going on...see if you can figure it out!
Right now I am loving the Gypsy line and all of the products I used for this project are from that line! I used a fun technique with swirl stickers...I applied baby powder to the sections I didn't want to adhere. It gave the swirls a little more dimension because they now pop off the project a bit more!!!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you give the Recyle and Reuse theme a try!

In fact, in the actress' soon-to-be-published memoir, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes and Growing Up, the 29-year-old TV star reveals for the first time that she got an abortion in late 2010. Naya discovered she was pregnant just weeks after breaking up with actor Ryan Dorsey, whom she later wed in 2014 and is now the father of her 11-month-old baby boy, Josey Dorsey.
Naya chose not share the news with Ryan at the time, instead choosing to focus on her career. The actress says she terminated the pregnancy during a day off from filming an episode of Glee.
"It was very scary to open up about everything," Naya says in People's Sept. 5 issue, out Friday. "It's not something a lot of people talk about, but I think they should. I know some people might read it and say, 'What the Hell?' But I hope someone out there gets something out of it."
After the news was made public (and received some backlash), Naya took to Twitter Tuesday to address her past. "I set out to write a book that was true to myself and would hopefully help others along the way. Media will always distort anything," she tweeted. " I hope that you all enjoy my story and respect my good intentions in sharing them with you. Xoxo #sorrynotsorry."

Over the course of one's lifetime many different vital and necessary organs can take a pounding and can be subject to damage for many different ranges of reasons. And many times through the advancement towards older age, these things just happen as the natural progression of life; it can happen. But even though these things may happen or not happen, it is important to take care to make sure essential organs and bodily parts are in full swing. This is no less important when it comes to our urinary tracts and bladders; especially for men over the age of 40 and those approaching 50 years old.
Uva Ursi (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) is natural healing agent to address the issues and physical problems related to the urinary tract and bladder. Uva Ursi not only has benefits for those of older adults but for young children and any one dealing with urinary problems; most common of which are urinary tract infections. First discovered in various parts of Europe in Iceland, Norway and Spain thousands of years ago, many people in the United States know Uva Ursi as Bearberry and has been used as a natural treatment in Holistic Treatment and is now becoming a part of western integrative health and it can and may be of good use to you if you are dealing with any problems related to urinary and bladder problems.
Uva Ursi has been shown to tighten and strengthen urinary walls, removes harmful acidity and toxic bacteria in the urine and has even been shown to be helpful to someone experiencing painful and chronic diarrhea. These days it is fairly easy to find Uva Ursi these days and can be a natural way to keep the urinary tract in pristine health.
Uva Ursi can be a benefit to many people experiencing all types of issues related to the urinary tract and bladder; some of which are:
Children experiencing chronic bed wetting:
Uva Ursi taken at night before by children (or anyone) experiencing severe bed wetting has been shown to be helpful in curbing, if not stopping bed wetting altogether. This is usually accomplished by strengthening the urinary walls which takes less pressure off of the bladder which causes the bed wetting in the sleep.
Men experiencing Chronic Pain during urination:
Uva Ursi is able to remove inflammation of the urinary tract and the prostate, making for easier urination without the pain. Uva Ursi is ideal for men at risk for prostate cancer as well.
People Juicing For Health:
While we all love to juice the toxins out of our body, it also comes with frequent visits to the restroom which can often come at a inconvenient time for many of us, especially if you're at work or a business meeting. Uva Ursi is very helpful at cutting frequent urination episodes in half, which is ideal for people who juice for health on a regular basis.
No matter what ailment or internal physical challenge you may be faced with, you have to know that you always have options, many of which can be natural if you seek them out. Uva Ursi is of great importance to men as they age in life. Keeping a healthy urinary tract and bladder is important so that it may remove the buildup of toxins that we accumulate through the days. If you have be weary of trying natural treatments, venture out of the comfort zone and Uva Ursi is an easy and great place to start. Here's to your health.

Hello darlings c:
Today I'm here with a quick review! I went to London this February, and there I visited Japan Centre!
Established in 1976, the Japan Centre Food Hall is a well-loved institution situated in Central London with an outpost in Westfield Stratford City. Whilst there have been several manifestations over the years, Japan Centre Food Hall has always been passionate about delivering a rich variety of quality Japanese goods to shoppers in the UK and beyond. Today, Japan Centre Food Hall incorporates: a supermarket bursting with authentic Japanese food & drink, a bookstore offering up to date manga, magazines and gifts, the umai deli which serves quality Japanese sushi and hot souzai food made fresh every day, a fishmonger and butcher counter presided over by trained experts slicing fresh cuts the traditional Japanese way, a bakery which produces hand-made and hard to find Japanese baked breads & desserts and a homeware department stocked full of authentic Japanese supplies.
Japan Centre Online
In 2005 Japan Centre Online was launched to bring the store experience to those living outside London and the UK. Offering the best value, best variety and best service for shoppers of Japanese goods online has always been at the very heart of our business. Our new-look website was recently launched to make the shopping experience even more straightforward, fast and enjoyable. We're proud to offer at least 30 new items every week straight from Japan and we've increased our existing stock so you can always get hold of the items you love. We're genuinely passionate about Japanese cuisine and have devised hundreds of Japanese recipes for you to try, which you can now print off, share on social media or add in one go to your basket at the click of a button. We also regularly post about a huge array of Japan related subjects on our blog and social media pages, keeping you in the know.
Together, Japan Centre Food Hall and Japan Centre Online have big plans for the future. At a time where interest in Japanese food and culture is growing exponentially, we're trusted, experienced, knowledgeable about our goods and passionate about what we do.
It might be my favourite new place (lol)
Anyway, I bought melon pan and pocky panda! I've been wondering for all my years as japan-culture appasionate what the two of them tasted, and finally I had the occasion to taste them!
Melon pan is like sweet bread, actually it's really similar to a kind of brand here in Italy called "pane al latte"(literal translation: milk bread) which is incredible lol it's a bit crunchy on the outside and then soft on the inside, and I surely understand why so many japanese rush to get one: it tastes really good!
But I'm here to talk to you about Pocky Panda! Pocky (by Glico) is the most popular and famous Japanese sweet snack, and for a reason! My biggest dream (and my current biggest obsession!!) They are the best. I've tried lots of Pocky: the classic chocolate ones, the strawberry ones and even the green tea ones! Even though i enjoy them all, I can't really say I'd choose them over other Japanese snacks. And yet there I was, buying Pocky Panda. But I was not disappointed at all!
This limited edition Panda Pocky includes crunchy chocolate cookie sticks covered in delicious cream coating and small cookie pieces. The end of the sticks have been left uncoated so you will not get your fingers sticky while eating them. The name "Pocky" is derived from the sound that this crispy snack makes when eaten.
The box is really cute, with a panda drawn all along the front, and also on the other side: even if mine has the Japan Centre label on it, underneath there's a drawing of a happy panda!
The inside is what excited me the most: there's little adorable pandas all over the package! I fell in love with it and I hadn't eaten them yet!
The taste is SO good. You have to try them out! The cream and the cookie melts together in the perfect way, and made me literally addicted to these. Luckily, I've found a shop in Padua (1 hour from my place) that sells them, which is great so I don't have to go all the way to London just for them (lol)
But if you want them? You can buy them directly from the Japan Centre Online website!
See ya next post!

Subject: Magic and God Proof-Claims Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 02:52:08 GMT 50030324 VII om peace "Bassos" gives elaboration on FrAoC's practice: >>>> Bodily awareness training. nagasiva: >> ...not magic in an overt sense "Tom" : > What do you consider to be "magic in an overt sense"? action that includes symbolism whereby an effect is intended symbolically toward a result desired. the means by which it is to be concluded is part of a rite or spell but has no direct causal connection (e.g. including one of the various 'Laws of Magic' such as Contagion or Sympathy). this is what gives the act its specific "magical" character: symbolism, combined in use to cause effects in the world, indirectly. > How would that differ from magic in any other sense? wonderful question. magic in an overt sense would allow us to analyze its composition, character, elements, see how it will attempt to manipulate or otherwise influence the cosmos via symbolic intention and associative impulse (e.g. magic that uses Contagion would dwell on proximity of objects, dearness of the objects or personal integrity to the spell's target). >>>>> You're associating dross with something physical? >> >> no, quite the contrary. the physical is what makes the dross >> possible > > ...If the physical is what makes dross possible, > then you are definitely associating dross with something physical. inasmuch as a seed and tree is necessary for fruit, so also is the physical necessary for dross. > You are associating dross with physicality itself. only certain nonessential portions of physicality which needn't concern us here (excess calories, mostly, and the illusory). > Yet, can't there be non-physical dross, too? I'd presume that most of what is dross is non-physical, since it is either subjective (and manipulatable) or fantastic (presumed fiction unless given rational evidence). >> basic ambulatory and cognitive functions are the >> foundation of anything experiential. physically fit, capable of basic motor coordination and tracking, etc. physical animal function is necessary for any experience, and therefore will not usually constitute "dross". > This sort of reductionism is simply the reverse of Aquinas' > First Cause argument for the existence of God. Trace back > all effects to their cause far enough and you must arrive > at a First Cause, which is God. In this case, if you reduce > matter to smaller and smaller particles, you arrive at Nothing, > which is also God. wonderful analysis, agreed. > But, in actuality, you can't arrive at a First Cause or a > Nothing. What you arrive at is a condition where you can no > longer determine what the previous cause might be or what makes > up that tiniest quark. You simply don't know what comes next > in your regression. Greek essentialists/materialists would complement an understanding of your criticism. absolute substances and special ultimate agents are a conceptual solution for a good deal of what we don't know. I can't affirm their reality, but their appeal is obvious. > "God" (or "Nothing" or "First Cause") is simply a slippery way > of saying "I don't know". a convenient intellectual tool, indeed. >>> It is the origin.... >> >> if there was an origin. some kind of explosion is discernable > > Of course, that explosion may simply have obliterated all > evidence of what came before it, if anything did. If "before" > even has a meaning when applied to that state of affairs. precisely my criticism elsewhere. the consideration of how an absence of matter or a negation of it constitutes anything real (what kind of 'nothing' are we talking about here?) would precede analysis of the meaning of precedence outside temporal contexts. >>> It created all things of its own essence, by patterns of its >>> own chosing; OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT. >> >> can it post to this newsgroup? > > If he's right, it just did. establishing collaborated intention, corporate intelligence, and limitations of influence for a pansubstantial entity could be an exciting adventure. the claim, that one's transcendental omnipresent deity has demonstrated its existence by this communication, is as convincing as those claiming their greatness as magicians has been demonstrated in a likewise manner. were it attended with significant numerological and zodialogical significance, or something of this import (say, posting a binary oracle in a binary forum on a binarily apprehendable date -- 01/11/10), it would be more interesting to consider. nagasiva http://www.luckymojo.com/avidyana/dozen/i.changeoracle.html -- http://www.yronwode.com/sivaworld.html ------------- ACTIONS AGAINST WAR! http://dmoz.org/Bookmarks/B/boboroshi -------- IN A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU! emailed responses may be posted ---------- cc replies if response desired!

You Don't Need To Have A Travel Agent To Select An Excellent Hotel

To actually get the best service from your custodial staff in a hotel, leave a few bucks each morning for each and every bed that you employ. This nominal cost will allow you to get rooms that receive the little extras, like a towel or two more, or even another pillow.
Get room service in the event you don't want to leave. Even if this might cost you a little more, it will be worth every penny because you can continue in your living space and handle the cravings  travel fishing rods you're having.
There are a number of points to consider when deciding which hotel to be at. Needless to say, you need to consider cost however, proximity to attractions is likewise essential. You may want free WiFi access, an easy location, free great distance or perhaps a nice pool or gym. Try to purchase a hotel with what exactly you need inside when possible.
If you are searching for "going green" when you are traveling, try seeing a "green" hotel. Begin by seeking these hotels online. There are numerous organizations that allow you to seek out these hotels easily like Green Hotels Association and Green Globe. They may have got a comprehensive list of green hotels in various locations.
To ensure that you along with your special someone obtain the right couples massage on your stay, book your appointment as early ahead of time since you can. Most of the top masseuses available are booked far ahead of time.
If you want to maintain your running regimen on the road, ensure your packing list includes lots of running clothes along with a GPS watch. Take a jog every morning. Running in a city permits you to see things other travelers miss.
In the event you tend to stay in exactly the same hotel a lot, see about subscribing to their frequent guest program. These hotel programs offer you points for each and every stay. You are able to accumulate points you could redeem for free hotel stays, discounts at restaurants, and a variety of entertainment.
Stay away from the telephone in the hotel to help make any calls. Unless you use a cellular phone, it might be a great idea to buy a prepaid phone to make calls during your stay. Really the only exception must be if free local calls are in the room rate.
If you are intending in which to stay a hotel to have an entire week or longer, ask the resort about long-term price discounts. Hotels will often have weekly and monthly rates that happen to be unpublished. These could offer significant price breaks for your personal hotel stay. Make sure to mention it upfront.
If you intend on using any glasses in the hotel minibar, be sure that you wash them first. Even though they look like clean, they could have been wiped using a chemical cleaner. Many housekeeping staff use the same goods that they prefer to completely clean windows and mirrors on those glasses.
Spend time reading online reviews of hotels left by real customers before you make a reservation. These reviews are usually the best supply of information, as they are created by those who have actually stayed on the hotel. Be sure to pay attention to the newest reviews, ever since the hotel may have already addressed older complaints.

As you see, there are numerous actions to take to ensure that you get a room with a great hotel.However, you would also like one at a cost that might be right for your financial budget. Making use of the advice from above will help you get rid of the negative so that you can book a hotel room that puts your thoughts relaxed.

Stretch marks (FAQ)
What do stretch marks look like?
Stretch marks may appear as pink, red or purple lines at first, but as time goes on and they are left untreated, indented white lines appear in the skin. They are at first brighter colors because of the broken blood vessels in the outer layer of the skin, which do eventually heal, but once they turn white and silver, it is an indication that they have set in and disrupted the dermis where both collagen and pigment reside.
What causes stretch marks?
Stretch marks can appear as a result of pubescent growth spurts, pregnancy, weight gain, increase in muscle mass, oral corticosteroids, topical steroids, genetically caused hormonal imbalances, or adrenal gland diseases such as Cushing's syndrome or Cushing's disease.
What is the best way to treat stretch marks?
Laser treatments are currently the most effective treatment options for stretch marks. The type of laser used depends on the state of scarring. If stretch marks are still pink, red or purple, the V-Beam pulsed dye laser is the best treatment option. The V-Beam emits a beam of light into the skin that will destroy the damaged blood vessels that cause the irregular pigmentation.
What type of stretch marks can be treated?
The only type of treatment that is proven to successfully address deep stretch mark damage is the Fraxel laser. This fractional laser therapy works by administering tiny areas of micro-damage, which stimulates collagen production. Once the Fraxel laser stimulates collagen production, fresh and healthy skin cells will replace the damage sites, which create a tightening effect.

The issue of teacher pay is controversial worldwide. Some argue that higher pay is necessary if we are to increase the status of teachers, and thus recruit, retain and motivate more high-ability individuals in the profession. However, others claim that higher pay across the board is not an efficient way to improve outcomes.
Charter schools are a controversial topic in America. Since their start in 1992, they now serve about 2 million pupils with the number of schools totalling more than 6,000 in 40 states. But do they work? Research thus far has focused heavily on test scores, although some have also evaluated the effects on graduation rates and college attendance.
In the last couple of years, Michael Gove has urged teachers to stop using new practices in the classrooms and return to more traditional, academic teaching methods. In this respect, he is going against the tide. In many countries, the idea of progressive teaching methods has gained traction among policymakers, who have begun to introduce them en masse.
For entrepreneurs to succeed, they need space to innovate that is sufficiently free of regulatory constraints, buyers who are receptive to their breakthroughs and uninhibited in their procurement decision-making and a competitive market environment in which efficacy and efficiency are the overriding priorities.
When analysing the effects of education reforms, researchers tend to restrict themselves to traditional outcomes, such as pupil achievement and attainment. There are exceptions, but they are still relatively few.

Dehradun: Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat, who was quizzed by CBI in a sting video case, has accused the Centre of targeting him after losing the political battle in the state and said he is not afraid of going to jail.
"BJP and the Modi government at the Centre are using CBI as a tool to settle scores with political adversaries. We will have to respond to this politically and go to people to expose BJP's sinister design," Rawat said addressing his party leaders on Thursday.
"I am not afraid of going to jail. I have fought all along my political career. My station in politics today is due to the blessings of the people. I leave it to them and party workers to give a reply to the injustice of the BJP," he said.
"If going to jail or making any other sacrifice is the precondition for working in the interest of the people of the state, I would not hesitate doing that," he added.
Rawat asked his party workers to reach out to people and expose the BJP's "conspiracy" against democratic forces. The chief minister alleged that BJP had no faith in democratic institutions or the judiciary and had resorted to the CBI to take on him after losing the political battle against him.
"We don't need to fear any probe. We have to act with restraint and keep ourselves awake to the conspiratorial moves of the BJP," he said. Rawat was examined by CBI for nearly five hours on 24 May in connection with a preliminary inquiry into a sting operation purportedly showing him offering bribes to rebel Congress lawmakers to support him during a floor test in the
Uttarakhand Assembly.
Former Union Minister of State for Home and Defence Jitendra Singh, also present at the gathering, said the manner in which Uttarakhand government had saved democracy had given a new lease of life to opposition governments in several states. Pradesh Congress President Kishore Upadhyay claimed the party had emerged stronger out of the political crisis created by the BJP in the state.
"We unitedly faced the challenge thrown by BJP and won finally. We have emerged stronger out of the crisis. We have to go from village to village and booth to booth to expose the BJP's unholy intentions," he said.

Good old Abe found a spot over a mahogany dresser that we found at an antique store. The side chair and mirror were also antique store finds. I got the blue lamp at Homegoods for a steal.
the Onyx rug from Room and Board ended up being perfect. Oh how I agonized over which rug to get!
It feels SO GOOD to have this room finished. Since it has been done I've been spending every free minute in here, literally just staring at the walls :)

Shares of WPP Group Plc. were losing around 11 percent in the early morning trading in London after the advertising giant reported Wednesday that it has revised down fiscal 2017 forecast, despite reporting significant growth in first-half profit and revenues. The company attributed the revision to the pressure on client spending.
